Professor Dr Nadeem Firoz, from Mont Clair University has joined CIIT as a Fullbright Scholar. He is delivering lectures to our students and faculty. On April 21, 2014, Dr Firoz gave a talk to our BBA and MBA students on the topic "Marketing Yourself".


Understanding that cost can significantly impact scalability, Get Focused...Stay Focused!® (GFSF) is a low-cost program developed by social entrepreneurs. A public/private partnership with Academic Innovations, a mission-oriented educational publisher, means that pricing for the print and online GFSF curriculum components can be kept well below standard commercial rates. And, because the program is designed to be delivered by existing classroom teachers, no specialized personnel are required.
One anticipated outcome for schools delivering the GFSF program with fidelity is increased attendance. Because a significant amount of public school funding is based on ADA (average daily attendance), when ADA improves funds for that campus are automatically increased. The hope is that a GFSF program implemented with fidelity will become self-sustaining, with increased motivation resulting in improved attendance resulting in increased ADA funding. Watch the video on this page for an explanation of how this could work.
The support available through the curriculum materials, professional development resources, and technical assistance also help to make the Get Focused...Stay Focused!® program easily scalable and sustainable.
With extensive professional development and technical support resources available, schools can quickly be ready to implement with fidelity. For professional educators, there are print and online resources for self-directed learning, and there are a variety of workshop, conference, and technical assistance options to provide guided capacity building.
Work is ongoing to compile and disseminate best practices and, with assistance from Academic Innovations, feedback from member schools results in updates and additions to the online teachers' tools.

AN OPEN LETTER TO PRESIDENT BUHARI ON POLICE "CHECKPOINTS" – By Chuks Iloegbunam.
Posted on December 12, 2019 December 12, 2019 by Admin.
Dear Mr. President,
Travelling from Lagos to Anambra State on November 9, 2019, I counted 67 "checkpoints" mostly manned by armed men of the Police Mobile Force along the 371 kilometre stretch from Sagamu to Asaba. Travelling the same route again on Thursday November 28, 2019, I counted 64 "checkpoints". I was on each occasion behind the wheel, meaning that my calculations may have missed or added a number of "checkpoints".
On November 30, 2019, however, Chief Tony Onyima, a respected journalist travelling as a passenger, counted 60 checkpoints on the same tortuous stretch, noting the precise location of each and every roadblock. This means that, on average, there is a "checkpoint" every 6.28 kilometres of the way. It suggests that the notorious stretch boasts more "checkpoints" than Hanoi and Saigon combined ever did all through the 20 years of the Vietnam War.
I lived in the United Kingdom through a third of the three decades of the Northern Ireland Troubles. Not on any single day throughout this period did Armagh or Belfast or Downpatrick or Enniskillen or Londonderry or any of the roads connecting these Northern Ireland cities bear one hundredth of the roadblocks on the Sagamu-Asaba expressway. Strangely enough, there are less than 20 "checkpoints" on the Asaba-Sagamu side of the expressway, demonstrating clearly that the multiple roadblocks on the other side are in praise of Corruption!
Inside Onitsha, the multiplicity of "checkpoints" wears an extortionate hat and blows an ear-tearing whistle. Every day starting from about 3pm, a traffic gridlock is created by bribe-taking soldiers and policemen and women at the Niger Bridgehead. The traffic jam lasts until about 9pm, ensuring that all goods-carrying vehicles, all cars, all busses, all trucks and all trailers are tolled. The tailback runs the span of the quivering 54-year-old bridge that was never designed to bear such deadweight. At the other end, the tailback extends as far as the perimetres of the Premier Breweries. On a daily basis!
You will notice, Mr. President, that in this letter, the word "checkpoint" is always in quotation marks. That is because neither inspection nor clearance takes place at any of the numerous stops imposed on innocent and hapless Nigerians by security men and women under Your Excellency's watch. Not on one occasion in all my journeys on that highway did I find a policeman or a soldier or a Customs officer or an Immigration officer or an officer of the Civil Defence Corps bothering to inspect the underside of a vehicle. Not once did I ever see any of these "checkpoint" champions lift a bonnet to inspect what is under it. All they do is train assault rifles on innocent and hapless Nigerians, intimidate them, scream commands and bark orders upon their unfortunate heads, speak at them rudely and spitefully, and then stretch out their hands to collect bribes. Once money changes hands, the vehicles are waved on.
This scandalous trend goes on in the full view of everyone at hand, including foreigners. How does it feel, Mr. President, that the military you enlisted in 58 years ago, and which served meritoriously in The Congo and many other troubled parts of the world, is the same force that has men in uniform collecting bribes in broad daylight, in order for their fellow nationals to purchase the freedom to drive on roads built with their taxes?
The nature of these "checkpoints" is a cause for serious concern. Barricades are made of tree stumps, tree trunks, logs, sawed timber, debris from dilapidated buildings, disused tyres, sand-filled drums, twisted steel from accidented juggernauts, even planks spiked with nails. When your security personnel abandon any of the "checkpoints", they do not bother to remove these obstacles, or take with them the debris they painstakingly assembled in the first place. Because the abandoned debris lack luminosity, vehicles plunge into them mostly after nightfall with predictable consequences.
Some of your "checkpoint" operatives never bother to don uniforms, creating the problem of distinguishing between real security personnel and plain criminals and impostors. The only uniformity in their presences is the ubiquitous assault rifle. Some of them appear in sweat shirts, or in T-shirts, or in overcoats in the sweltering heat. Some others have their name tags pinned upside down. Most have no name tags. A good number screen their eyes, bandit-like, behind very dark googles. Others have their felt hats turned front backwards. Occasionally an errant member of the lot is seen straying across the road, wielding a half-full or half-empty bottle of liquid content, or puffing away, regardless.
The cost to the nation of this lamentable aberration is enormous. It could be that the aim is to kill the Nigerian spirit and subjugate the peoples. Still, the unintended consequences of this terrible blight deserve to be stated. Many of the vehicles on the roads are articulated, underscoring their propensity to topple on uneven terrains and cause avoidable destruction and aggravated traffic jams. Many of the vehicles are tankers bearing highly inflammable and combustible liquids and substances liable to ignite at the slightest impact with other vehicles, or because of heatwave, unimaginable developments that could reduce whole kilometres of the freeway to a conflagration, only for such a calamitous result to be sacrilegiously ascribed to "an act of God."
These "checkpoint" operators on Your Excellency's watch are under the sun day-in and day-out, collecting "rogers" and pocketing same, unaware that they are pocketing other collateral damages as well. They wear no protective masks over their mouths and noses. Therefore, they inhale in large, dangerous doses carbon monoxide and other toxic agents which could trigger pulmonary conditions that, even if latent in them, could manifest in their offspring as full-blown cases of asthma, bronchitis, cystic fibrosis, emphysema, pneumonia and lung cancer. Some of them court skin cancers, given the sun's fiery rays on uncovered portions of their skins for at least eight hours every day.
These "checkpoint" personnel are not equipped with ambulances. They have no first aid boxes and, therefore, administer first aid to no one, including themselves. They are not known to offer care to the distressed. They bear no walkie-talkies, and no other forms of radio communication exists between any particular checkpoint and another.
If the enthronement of repression is the aim of these roadblocks, its failure is a fait accompli and it is expected of someone of your knowledge and international exposure to point this out.
There are many questions you could ask the conjurers of tyranny, like these: Where is Adolf Hitler today? Where is Benito Mussolini today? Where is Augusto Pinochet today? Where is Nicolae Ceausescu today? Where is Anastasio Somoza today? Where is Muhammed Zia-ul-Haq today? Where is Joseph Stalin today? If the examples of non-African dictators are too far away for comfort, you could ask those attempting to strike a match beside an ocean of gasoline what became of Macias Nguema? What became of Hastings Banda? What became of Mobutu Sese Seko? What became of Omar Al-Bashir? What became of Idi Amin? Indeed, if your "charity" of questions does not begin at home, you could end it here in Nigeria by asking what became of Sani Abacha?
If the point is that the Police can only stand on the clay feet of Corruption, there is a sensible alternative in disbanding the disreputable outfit with immediate effect.
Mr. President, you told Nigeria and you told the whole world that "We have to kill Corruption or Corruption will kill Nigeria." As a matter of fact, you converted that proposition into a mantra. How, then, can this preposterous multiplication of roadblocks be consolidating itself under your very watch? Why should there be 60 road blocks on the Lagos-Anambra road when, on December 6, 2019, I counted only 16 of them on the 404 kilometre stretch from the border town of Obollo-Afor in Enugu State to Abuja?
There are hardly any reported cases of terrorism in the southern half of Nigeria. Why, then, should each of the three geopolitical zones that make up the south of the country have 200 times more roadblocks than the North East geopolitical zone that is the theatre of Boko Haram terrorism? The distance from Abuja to Gusau, the capital of Zamfara State, is 444.5 kilometres. I haven't been on the road myself. But commercial drivers that ply the route promise me that there are no more than 15 "checkpoints" on it.
Medecins Sans Frontieres reported on October 15, 2019 that "Criminal groups and extreme violence in the northwestern state of Zamfara, Nigeria, have caused tens of thousands of people to flee their villages and seek shelter in the town of Anka." On December 7, 2019, The Punch reported that "A fresh attack of gang violence in Zamfara State has left at least 27 people dead," Despite this mayhem that has continued unabated in Zamfara for many years now, the roads leading into the state are not cluttered by the Corruption of "checkpoints."
There are other negative consequences of this clearly unsustainable germination and growth of "checkpoints", this cardinal sin against Nigerians. The power directly behind the "checkpoint" dehumanization of Nigerians is the Aftomat Kalashnikova 1947 – the AK47. It follows that those currently using this deadly weapon to exert overlordship on the rest of society will, after their service years, devise means of privately stockpiling the weapon for the purposes of perpetuating their accumulation of filthy lucre.
Dear Mr. President. Why should the seed of tomorrow's national instability be continuously sown and watered today under your watch? Why should today's lesson to those in uniform and under arms be that the dividends of crime are enormous?
How would you feel, Mr. President, to watch video clips of Nigerian soldiers pocketing bribes and casually handing change to those who produce higher denominations of the Nigerian currency than is the standard fare for kickbacks?
The distance between Abuja and your hometown of Daura is 532 kilometres. By road it should be covered in eight hours. How would you take it if your wife and your children did the journey in 18 hours because there are "checkpoints" every five minutes, with your family ordered out of their vehicle at each point, verbally walloped, their vehicle documents "examined" multiple times, and money extorted from them? It is often said that when a commoner's hearse is on the way to a cemetery, it looks like it is bearing a piece of wood. Nonetheless, it is trite to state that your wife and your children are not more human than my wife and my children.
In another week, the mass movement of Ndigbo from all parts of Nigeria to the South East geopolitical zone will commence in earnest. It is an annual pilgrimage for the Christmas and New Year celebrations. Meanwhile, the Akanu Ibiam International Airport in Enugu was shut down in August for "repairs". Yet, repairs did not commence at the airport months after its ill-conceived and mistimed closure. Air travel would have accounted for at least a sixth of the hundreds of thousands travelling East this month.
With the airport shut, about the only means of travel for South East pilgrims this Christmas is the road where armed men and women under your watch, capricious as ever, are impatiently waiting to administer subhuman treatment to them, such treatment as never happened even in the Transkei at the height of South Africa's apartheid dispensation.
Ordinarily, it should take about six and a half hours to travel from Lagos to Onitsha. With all the "checkpoints" the journey now takes anything from three to four hours more. Given the hundreds of thousands going to travel from the South West to the South East, it means that most of them, including toddlers, the old, the pregnant and the infirm, will be subjected to close to 18 hours of inhospitable travelling conditions simply because of the desire to be with their loved ones during Yuletide. Why should Nigerian citizens be sentenced to this prejudicial treatment of orchestrated delays, wanton extortion, even incarceration and, in extreme cases, coldblooded murders?
Dear President Muhammadu Buhari. Remember that during the first quarter of 2017, when the Kaduna Airport was shut for runway repairs, special trains fully manned by security personnel were provided that guarded rail travel for Abuja destined travellers compelled to use the Kaduna Airport. The least you can do is to treat all Nigerians with equal consideration. I urge you today to halt this abominable rot and rash of "checkpoints" on our highways. Order an immediate dismantling of these brazen Nests of Corruption. It will be more melodious music in Nigerian ears than any Christmas and New Year's messages you plan to give.
Abuja; December 9, 2019.

Automated driving in China: a complex challenge.
Wang Fei, current editor in chief of the technology media company PingWest, an observer of new technologies, new hardware and new model areas in the Internet science and technology industry, and a student of the technology media industry.
Based on the above three points, we can think of the future of driverless cars as the continuous compression of technology costs, the gradual improvement of visual accuracy with optimized algorithms, and final products with driverless technology for consumers, introduced to the market on a step-by–step basis after facing a series of problems.
There is no question about the path of all the car / internet tech companies in general.
We can't stop Moore's law of rapid development, and this rapid development will continue to benefit us. The hardware and the components in our automobile supply chain have also rapidly reduced our costs. Our relevant laws, too, will move forward very quickly when the technology on the market is fulfilled.
If this is the case, is there no specific problem in developing driverless technology in China, just like in other countries' markets?
I think the biggest uncertainty for driverless cars in China is the complex traffic environment and unpredictable driving habits.
We know that in some other countries, driving at a speed of 200KM/H or more on the highways is permitted, while China's transportation environment is full of low-speed accidents. Traffic accidents in China are disparate, but some of the main reasons include drivers not complying with the traffic regulations or each element in the traffic environment does not abide by the regulations.
But I think automated driving in China's transportation environment (or anywhere in the world) plays another role – along with the driver's cognition.
To a large extent, it is the driver – or the driver's thoughts – that should be replaced by the driverless car. The most sophisticated drivers in China gained their knowledge and experience by having fender-benders, collisions or accidents. This is actually about cognition. For example, at a corner where accidents are frequent, an experienced driver would anticipate the road conditions ahead, since he or she has encountered a bike suddenly crossing the road there once before. But the driverless car can't anticipate based on experience, and it's hard for it to take early action on the next similar occasion after having had an accident. There is only a pile of code in its head, and the programmer tells it to "always check the situation in front, and if a person suddenly appears, please brake the car."
Of course, sometimes it may not be able to detect the sudden appearance of a person, and it will be too late to stop the car.
In general, driverless car technology should replace drivers at the cognitive level to take on China's traffic environment. There, the traffic environment is relatively complex – there are not only new drivers, but also drivers with different driving styles and impaired drivers – at the cognitive level, the driverless car is currently a total novice driver.
Automakers and industry participants believe that driverless cars will first complete tests on specific roads or in specific environments, such as dedicated venues, with driverless bus routes and so on. From the point of view of a driverless industry researcher, it's more like automating machines under the Internet of Things. Taking automated driving from the perception level to the cognitive level is like overturning our way of thinking to deliberate about the whole thing again. It is just like adding a brain to the four mechanical, automated wheels and the brain is not for processing sensory information, but for anticipating the road traffic and for adding knowledge.
I think such a brain is really needed in the traffic environment with Chinese characteristics.
Whatever the industry, at the cognitive level of the computers, more long-term research is still required, and that is why today's hottest concepts are always about artificial intelligence.
For driverless cars, we should either try to drive in all kinds of road conditions, and then the programmer adds each situation as a piece of code after each accident, thus creating a collection of code that will handle all of the situations, or we should make the driverless car a cognitive car brain which will learn the driving styles and decisions of Chinese drivers and anticipate the road conditions in advance.
Most automakers in China are not aggressive, and their auxiliary driving systems are just upgrades of the pre-crash systems. Even when there are radical manufacturers who want to test completely driverless cars, they mostly choose California's Silicon Valley, where the roads look much cleaner.
In China, the road conditions are more complicated than in other countries – the uncertainty of the traffic environment, unpredictable driving habits, and the existence of traffic elements that others don't have – this is the automated driving road with Chinese characteristics.

J Affect Disord. 2009 Oct;117 Suppl 1:S26-43. doi: 10.1016/j.jad.2009.06.041. Epub 2009 Aug 11.
Lam RW1, Kennedy SH, Grigoriadis S, McIntyre RS, Milev R, Ramasubbu R, Parikh SV, Patten SB, Ravindran AV; Canadian Network for Mood and Anxiety Treatments (CANMAT).
In 2001, the Canadian Psychiatric Association and the Canadian Network for Mood and Anxiety Treatments (CANMAT) partnered to produce evidence-based clinical guidelines for the treatment of depressive disorders. A revision of these guidelines was undertaken by CANMAT in 2008-2009 to reflect advances in the field.
The CANMAT guidelines are based on a question-answer format to enhance accessibility to clinicians. An evidence-based format was used with updated systematic reviews of the literature and recommendations were graded according to Level of Evidence using pre-defined criteria. Lines of Treatment were identified based on criteria that included Levels of Evidence and expert clinical support. This section on "Pharmacotherapy" is one of 5 guideline articles.
Despite emerging data on efficacy and tolerability differences amongst newer antidepressants, variability in patient response precludes identification of specific first choice medications for all patients. All second-generation antidepressants have Level 1 evidence to support efficacy and tolerability and most are considered first-line treatments for MDD. First-generation tricyclic and monoamine oxidase inhibitor antidepressants are not the focus of these guidelines but generally are considered second- or third-line treatments. For inadequate or incomplete response, there is Level 1 evidence for switching strategies and for add-on strategies including lithium and atypical antipsychotics.
Most of the evidence is based on trials for registration and may not reflect real-world effectiveness.
Second-generation antidepressants are safe, effective and well tolerated treatments for MDD in adults. Evidence-based switching and add-on strategies can be used to optimize response in MDD that is inadequately responsive to monotherapy.

TeamUp Inspires Schoolgirls to Engage with Hockey
Since the Team GB success at the 2016 Rio Olympics, women's hockey has become one of the fastest-growing and most popular sports in the country. Within the past five years, female club players participating in the sport have increased by 50%, and the number of junior club players has nearly doubled.
TeamUp, a joint initiative between England Hockey, England Netball and England and Wales Cricket, aims to inspire young people around the country to get involved and play sport in their schools and local communities. The venture, which was launched in 2016, includes England hosting three consecutive women's World Cups in the three different sports and has already seen England beating India in the cricket World Cup last year. The next event is the Vitality Hockey Women's World Cup in July and August, followed by the Netball World Cup, which takes place in July 2019.
At a recent TeamUp event in London, players from the winning Olympic Team GB hockey and Commonwealth Games teams helped coach a group of young players in East London and saw young women playing the sport for the very first time.
Sport in schools is often underfunded and not given the same attention as the academic subjects. With budget cuts affecting schools across the country, schemes such as this aim to bridge the gap and inspire young women to get involved.
The benefits of young people playing team sport include improving health and fitness, increasing confidence and self-esteem and improving overall well-being. For more information on hockey and to find a local club, you can visit http://www.englandhockey.co.uk/.
Encouraging girls to take up the sport at primary school level can help develop a passion for it. Teaching staff and sports coaches can find many great resources, including hockey drill videos and training tips from https://www.sportplan.net/drills/Hockey/.
Hockey can be played by both boys and girls and can be adapted to suit the facilities available, including inner-city schools that may not have access to large outdoor areas.
Continuing the legacy and success of the women's Olympic and Commonwealth teams is vital for the future of hockey. Ensuring the sport can be enjoyed from a young age in a friendly, relaxed environment will inspire hockey stars of the future and ensure many continue to enjoy the sport and achieve success.

ReMix: Demon's Souls "Let Strength Be Granted" 5:20
By RoeTaKa
cinematic brass choir piano strings vocals-female solemn
"One Who Craves Souls"
Primary Game: Demon's Souls (SCEI, 2009, PS3), music by Shunsuke Kida
Posted 2015-05-13, evaluated by djpretzel
More Souls music from RoeTaKa, who continues his one-man-army musical assault on the franchise's dark, dramatic scoring with his own equally compelling interpretations. This orchestral/cinematic piece is STUNNING; there are some moments in the fourth minute that'll take your breath away, and while the mood is still serious and at times somber, there's a vein of hope & light that runs through the whole piece, echoing the mix title:
""One Who Craves Souls" is one of my favourite songs from any modern game. It's something I've wanted to remix for a while now; I wanted to do it justice. An upgrade to my samples and computer really gave me the inspiration to go for it. This is a song I really didn't want to change too much or detract from its emotion; part of what makes the original song so good is how it weighs on you. I just wanted to do a powerful take on it that amplifies the original but also has its own emotional journey."
This is emotional territory that really reaches out; Alex has again done a phenomenal job in capturing a specific atmosphere and imbuing it with life, tension, and immediacy, and he may have outdone himself with regard to overall passion - the blend of instrumentation, the restrained choral components, and the upper-register string work shine through as highlights. Emunator writes:
"Out of the many Demon's/Dark Souls remixes we've received from you, this is easily one of my favorites (just make a damn album, already!) The ebb and flow in this arrangement is astounding, it feels much more organic than the source tune while still holding tight to the melodies and motifs that make the original memorable. Your production sounds great here, too - particularly the piano and strings, which contribute a huge amount of humanity and emotion to the arrangement, despite being sampled. This achieves exactly what you set out to accomplish, excellent work!"
Couldn't have said it better myself; Alex's series of Souls ReMixes that began late last year has continued into this year & has been both a complete surprise and a memorable trend in OCR history, bringing a very distinct style to the table and giving these more modern classics a welcome spotlight. Each has been superlative, and this inspiring and magical work is no exception!

Man, if I'm the Alex who's crazy about Castlevania, then RoeTaKa is the Alex who's crazy about the Souls series lol. Another great arrangement -- the breakdown in the middle was a fine addition. I could agree on a few things that were said before my review (some articluations especially), but my own remixes aren't as good as this one, so that's far from being a problem. As always, nice arrangement and production.
MrKyle
Seems like some of this response thread got into a level of detail that can get mired rather quickly in subjectivity. There are plenty of professionally recorded/mixed/mastered albums, scores, suites, tracks, etc that have been created over the past 50 years that are lauded, praised, and respected for their overall stunning execution...and they have flaws. Noticeable flaws. Things that almost jump out when played back through a decent system in a dedicated environment. But as music is a subjective and personal experience, so shall be the critiques. And from a logical standpoint, they are all equal since they are in there very nature, opinions. We put our music out here for others to digest. If someone comments on your work and says "This isn't very good", that doesn't actually mean it isn't very good. That's just their opinion. Well-guided, educated, and experienced perhaps...but still an opinion. As well, a true virtuoso who knows the nature of their craft will almost always comment that they are learning, experimenting, improving...
Crulex, agreed. If you dig it, you dig it. I get the crits, but all in all, I dig it. Well done RoeTaKa.
Pretty good orchestral arrangement with good pacing and instrumentation choices, as it did come off as a natural flow. While there are things that could be nitpicked at, in the end, it's about what sounds good and works, and this sounds good and works for me, so I can dig it. Not bad, man.
DimeTower
I don't know what was going on with all the sample discussion - all I know is how this piece makes me feel, and this mix is transportive and resonant.Major props for the depth here; I really felt like I was on a journey during the piece. Well done!!
timaeus222
I do recall Sir Jordanius being *that guy* who holds up his subs until he's completely happy with them, and I think that's totally fine! I think Larry's chill enough to be flexible like that.
RoeTaKa
I hear you, and sorry if my feedback sounded at all harsh. Like I said, it's pretty solid overall, but could just use some more attention on the performance. 8GB is definitely a challenge to work with for a full orchestral template; I have 32GB these days and I would really love to bring it to 64.
It's quite alright it didn't come across as harsh at all. I'm fairly used to the tough love around here anyway. Honestly I do like to get pointers and tips from experienced composers that specialize in digital orchestra because I really don't personally know any. And yeah it is definitely a challenge working with a low spec computer haha. I'm so used to it, I don't even know what I'd do with a top of the range one. But I really feel what I am creating now is far more improved, perhaps if you felt like checking it out Neifion maybe you could check out my youtube in my sig?
Larry, I didn't know that was possible I assumed that it would take more time and require a resub. I was only thinking of some touch ups, nothing considerable...it really depends if they're considered flaws that stand out but we'll see I suppose.
Neifion
Ah, well, I'm not trying to attack him; just giving him my perspective. *shrug*
And yes, those were the best I've ever heard, really. I'm not just judging based on bass mixing, but clearly, that composer knows how to mix and master, and I did think that melody on "I am the Sentinel" was memorable. But seriously, come on, let's not go overboard here and call me a hypocrite. It doesn't do anything other than draw attention away from the fine job RoeTaka did here.
I said your statement was hypocritical, because I've seen you post critiques listing a lot of problems and no praise. Don't think that's quite as overboard as calling me arrogant.
You're right though, this is about RoeTaka, and like I said, he did a solid job with some ways to improve.
Well then your standards are a bit too high then, because I honestly thought those two were the best film-score music I've ever heard. Really, the bass mixing there is just spot-on, whether it was for a "low-budget" film or not. I dunno, that just came off as arrogant to me, and the way you put a paragraph of critique but less than a sentence of compliment just de-emphasized the compliment IMO.
From reading some of your critiques, I find your statement about me a bit hypocritical. But I know you're just being honest and trying to help, which I am too. As for standards, your thinking that those two tracks were the best film music you ever heard has no bearing on whether mine are too high or not. To each their own, although I think if you're evaluating orchestral music on bass mixing then that's a little weird (of course bass, rhythm, and the demand for "epic" and "BWAH" seem to have toppled having a lyrical, memorable melody in this day and age).
Liontamer
Well then your standards are a bit too high then, because I honestly thought those two were the best film-score music I've ever heard, and they are most certainly film-score quality. Really, the bass mixing there is just spot-on, whether it was for a "low-budget" film or not, and those songs wow me every time. RoeTaka's ReMix was great; didn't wow me, but I still thought it was great.
I dunno, your posts here just came off as arrogant to me, and the way you put a paragraph of critique but less than a sentence of compliment just de-emphasized the compliment IMO.
Jeez, put your gun back in the holster. I didn't get to vote on this, but Neifion's criticisms are perfectly fine, and come from experience. As far as the praise vs. criticism being "imbalanced", you need to read what he said. The very first thing was "The orchestration and arrangement is good...", so it's clear the post isn't some attack. It reads to me like you're the one needlessly causing the friction. There really shouldn't be any problem here.
For Alex, if you ever have a mix waiting to be posted, but want to revise it before it goes up, just contact me or another judge and ask for us to wait until you create a revised version. We've definitely had people ask to do that before. Actually, the next mix to be posted did just that...
Those two links you listed are not film score quality; the first is good enough for trailer music (which it was, from my understanding), the second is for a low-budget indie fantasy B-film. (Coincidentally, I got approached by Arrowstorm Entertainment for one of their fantasy films, turned it down though). They're decently programmed (writing is pretty generic, but that's another critique for another day), but not above what the bulk of working composers in the industry are putting out.
It's fine that you were evaluating to OCR standards, but like you said, they're not that high (even lower for orchestral, which I feel is disappointing). I just wanted to give him feedback in general to improve; why stop at OCR standards when he can do better? He seems to want to continue improving, so no point in stopping where he is just because it's OCR-approved.
Thes are some of my standards:
https://soundcloud.com/stephen-anderson/unity
https://soundcloud.com/stephen-anderson/i-am-the-sentinel-credits
So my standards are quite high (I'm not saying I compose like that, but I do hear how good that is). I'm just evaluating specifically in terms of OCR's standards, which are actually lower. I feel like your standards are the real-life film-score-level standards, which the above two links would be; but OCR's standards aren't quite that high.
Not noticeable to you, perhaps, but they definitely were to me. I don't know your experience level with emotive orchestral music, but I have a high standard for it; it's my main focus and I do a fair amount of orchestral film scoring. I didn't say it was poorly done, just pointed out some things that I hope will help.
I disagree, I think the emotion is definitely there, and I don't hear any substantial flaws worth pointing out. The issues Neifion mentioned weren't really that noticeable. Even 2:50 sounded quite serviceable. This is great as-is. Keep dishing out the goodness.
Thank you for your feedback. This was literally the first time I had used these samples and was made just over a year ago. I wish it didn't take so long for remixes to be evaluated and posted but that's the predicament. I am far more experienced in how to control these samples now. I know some of my future submissions have issues because of the lack of experience with these samples but there's nothing I can do about that unless they're rejected.
My computer is still not powerful enough to use these the way I would like so I know in this song I used just the split sustain patches (at the time I had 8GB of RAM and after this I immediately got another 8GB). I also know about the legato you're talking about with the Friedlander and have gotten much more used to writing with it. As I listen now I think nearly all the legato here should be tighter. I'm sorry you weren't able to enjoy the arrangement more because of the issues you mentioned.
And thanks Timaeus, I will keep trying!
The orchestration and arrangement is good, but honestly I disagree with the judges about the emotion and performance of the samples. etc etc

Five unanswered questions from the F1 2021 reveal
By Thomas Harrison-Lord
Fresh liveries, the return of Devon Butler, a two-player career and a release on next-gen hardware plus the return of F2, split-screen and My Team. There is a lot to get excited about when it comes to the latest instalment in Codemasters' distinguished official Formula 1 series, F1 2021.
It may seem like the new game has all the appurtenances you'd expect, but if you peel back the marketing fluff and double-check the pre-order page, we're left with more questions than answers about the core gameplay. Here are five points that got us scratching our heads.
How will iconic drivers work in My Team?
My Team was a new twist on the main career introduced in F1 2020. Driver Career still existed as per usual, but the new addition opened the floodgates to customised content that the F1 games had been crying out for.
After forming your own driver and team, you can then create a livery, be interviewed by Formula 1 presenter Will Buxton, sign a young F2 driver as a teammate and develop the car and team as the season progresses.
Sure, the on-track gameplay remained largely the same and the R&D tests are banal, but add into the mix post-season driver transfers – first introduced in F1 2019 – and the added depth made this more engrossing than a Christopher Nolan movie marathon.
If you pre-order the Digital Deluxe edition of F1 2021 you gain access to "seven iconic drivers to enhance your 'My Team' game experience," which the YouTube description for the trailer hints will be "unveiled very soon."
We tweeted recently asking who you would like to see included and there have been many interesting suggestions from Senna, to Button and even Yuji Ide.
Yesterday we learned there are seven "iconic drivers" in the Deluxe Edition of F1 2021.
Which drivers do you think should be in the new game? pic.twitter.com/MmCzz75T8R
— Traxion.GG (@traxiongg) April 16, 2021
As a pre-order bonus, it would be logical to gain access to these drivers from the off, making them selectable as teammates from the first season. But then, if you chose one, could some or all of the other six also be on the grid?
Do they return as part of the driver window season swaps? Is the pre-order the only way to get legends in this mode?
It reminds us of when older players retired in Pro Evolution Soccer Master League, re-appearing as young upstarts re-available to sign. Good ol' Ximelez.
No matter how it works, this could be a significant step for the series where further legends from the sport can be introduced across the next iterations and open up new avenues for the driver transfer market. Or, it could simply be seven drivers as a pre-order bonus and it doesn't go further than that.
How will the game perform on next-gen hardware?
It's well known what happened to the F1 games the last time a new console generation came around. F1 2014 released on PS3 and Xbox 360 despite PS4 and Xbox One already being on the market. When F1 2015 did arrive a year later, it didn't have a career mode.
This time around it sounds very different, with PS5 and Xbox Series versions releasing simultaneously alongside PS4 and Xbox One and PC. Which begs the question, just how much of an upgrade will the next-gen versions be for 2021?
It suggests to us a cross-generational approach before a thorough update at a later date, but without any gameplay footage or even screenshots at present, it's impossible to tell.
Recent Codemasters game DIRT 5 managed to release across both console generations in 2020 and run on the new consoles at 4K resolution with a choice of either 60 or 120 frames per second modes. A technical marvel, however, it was developed by a different studio to the F1 games – Codemasters Cheshire as opposed to Codemasters Birmingham – and doesn't use the Ego Game Technology Engine. As a result, we cannot assume F1 2021 will be as visually assured.
If there's to be a 120 fps mode, which the Microsoft store mentions, we would anticipate a dip in visual quality to compensation. The launch material briefly mentions a "visual uplift" without specifics, but we would happily enjoy a stable and smooth 60 fps and a light graphical touch up in year one of the hardware lifecycles.
What are victory radio calls?
Once again the bullet point list of bonus digital items for the pre-order comes up trumps. Alongside the list of cosmetic items included, a car livery, suit, gloves and helmet – which sounds like a return for the Podium Pass customisation system to us – is a "victory radio call."
After each real Formula 1 race, one of the most anticipated videos released is the team radio round-up. Access to radio messages for highlights has shone a light on driver and engineer personalities, providing fans with some memorable moments so far.
Pierre Gasly at Monza in 2020 or Nico Rosberg at Abu Dhabi in 2016, for example. Having these in the game after winning a race would be joyous.
Except, let's not get carried away. This could also mean new clips recorded by the drivers, or even just a selection of generic victory congratulations. Maybe it's your fictional engineer Jeff saying "that was a great start" at the finish line or David Croft shouting out the name of your teammate…
When will F2 2021 arrive?
F2 first joined the series in F1 2019 which at launch had the 2018 Formula 2 season included. This was then later updated to have the F2 2019 drivers and liveries.
The same was true again for F1 2020, launching with the 2019 drivers before an update some five months later added the most recent roster.
There is not a clue or hint as to which season of our favourite F1 support series will be included within the press material and at the time of writing. Our guess would be the current season added post-release, which is fine by us provided we know a rough timeline ahead of the game's launch.
Is online multiplayer updated?
99.9 per cent of the launch material is talking about the career modes, but for those esports drivers or fans who love to play the ranked races in F1 2020, online multiplayer is a key part of the experience.
Strangely, this element of the game – which surely has a bigger emphasis placed upon it than ever before thanks to the various official F1 Esports series – gets one tiny mention buried deep within a rather non-committal sentence.
"We're also expanding and refining many other features, including scalable assist options, driver stats and multiplayer," said the release.
That sounds like evolution as opposed to revolution to us, but of course, we hope to hear more on the run-up to the launch.
Track limits, broadcast tools and game stability are the main online talking points. The pro esports crowd may only be a fraction of the F1 gaming community, but they are certainly a vocal one and it would be remiss to ignore its feedback.
So there we have it, five key questions based on the information available now and in many ways, it's the pre-order bonus list that provides much of the speculation at this juncture. It's worth bearing in mind that these bullet points are not meant to be prescriptive, they are carrots dangling before us in order to get more pre-orders. The ambiguity makes your imagination run wild, overseeing the minutiae. Either way, they've got us thinking.
What would you like to see in F1 2021? Let us know on social media, we'd love to hear your thoughts.

Q: SharePoint Importing data to MS Access I am trying to import the data from SharePoint list, I have created one view of the fields required for my analysis.
I am facing a challenge in one of the field, while importing data. This is name picker field in Sharepoint.
When downloading the data in MS-Excel, this field, downloads as a string and giving the output like below (which is perfect):
Anne Bateman;#206

But when i am trying to download the same view in MS-Access, this field is showing the output as (only numbers associated with names):
206
3992
3915,3992

and in design view this field is coming out to be "Number" datatype instead of string.

is Hardly a Virus for humans, more deadly than the prior 40 years, eradicated smallpox virus. Alone in the 20. Century will still be up to a half a billion people in the infectious disease died. Even if the science is assumed, the smallpox been around for Thousands of years – among other things, one of the ten biblical Plagues of the Old Testament, are associated with the leaves of the diseases listed in the connection, had the Virus been genetically only about 360 years ago. Scientists from the Charité in Berlin and the universities of Cambridge and Copenhagen, it is now possible, the smallpox virus in the skeletons from the Viking age, around 1400 years to prove it. Thus, the Thesis is disproved, the smallpox had only been in the middle ages by returning crusaders to Central and Northern Europe brought. Instead, the Virus circulated already at the latest since the end of the Viking age widely in Europe, such as the bioinformatics scientist Terry Jones from the Institute of Virology Campus Charité hospital reported on Wednesday.
Peter-Philipp Schmitt
editor in the Department "Germany and the world".
F. A. Z.
For their analysis, the researchers examined not only the skeletons from the Viking time, but also the mortal Remains of much older people. Overall, the genome of 1867 skeletons was the scientists that were between 150 and 31.630 years old and from the European-Asian and American traditional. In 13 cases, out of teeth, or a part of the temporal bone of the deceased DNA fragments of the human smallpox virus to enrich. Eleven of the people lived, therefore, between 600 and 1050 after Christ, their mortal Remains were in Viking burial sites in Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Russia and England have been found.

A Reaction Motors, Inc. (RMI), foi a primeira empresa aeroespacial dos Estados Unidos voltada à fabricação de motores de foguetes movidos a combustível líquido, fundada em 1941 e localizada em Nova Jersey.

Histórico
As origens da Reaction Motors remontam às atividades da American Rocket Society (ARS), que aquela altura já trabalhava por cerca de uma década com vários níveis de sucessos técnicos. Com o Mundo prestes a entrar na Segunda Guerra, os quatro membros do comitê de experimentos da ARS: Lawrence, Wyld, Pierce e Shesta, decidiram colocar a pesquisa de foguetes em bases comerciais.

Em Novembro de 1941, esses membros do comitê de experimentos, liderados por Lovell Lawrence Jr., conseguiram uma apresentação de um motor de foguete para o U.S. Navy Bureau of Aeronautics. Nessa apresentação, o motor foi acionado várias vezes, produzindo 0,4 kN durante 40 segundos a cada vez, o que deixou os representantes da Marinha bastante entusiasmados. Menos de uma semana depois, esse pioneiros obtiveram o seu primeiro contrato de $ 5.000 com a Marinha dos Estados Unidos para o desenvolvimento de motores de foguete.

Com esse contrato já na carteira, a Reaction Motors, Inc. (RMI) foi criada formalmente em 16 de Dezembro de 1941, tendo Lovell Lawrence, Jr., como gerente de negócios e Presidente; John Shesta como tesoureiro e engenheiro chefe; Hugh Franklin Pierce como vice presidente e engenheiro chefe de testes; e James Hart Wyld como secretário e diretor de pesquisas.

Nos seus primeiros nove meses de vida, a RMI, projetou e produziu dez diferentes modelos de motores de foguetes com potencia variando entre 0,06 e e 0,4 kN.

Um dos marcos da sua existência, foi o fato de ter projetado e construído o motor do avião Bell X-1, que foi o primeiro a quebrar a barreira do som.

Em 1957, a RMI possuía 21 estandes de teste, alguns deles com capacidade para testar motores entre 220 e 1.500 kN de empuxo.

Em 1958, a RMI se associou à Thiokol, formando a Reaction Motors Division (RMD). Essa associação acabou gerando uma série de problemas tanto técnicos quanto administrativos, que em conjunto, levaram ao encerramento das atividades da RMD em 1972.

the tablet + keyboard pack is 430 € cheaper
The Microsoft Surface Pro 8 brings some improvements over the old model, for a price that is almost sacrificed today. Indeed, we find on Amazon the premium tablet in a pack with its keyboard for 899 euros instead of 1,329 euros usually, or 32% savings.
Premium hybrid tablets work like a laptop, but in an even more compact format. Convenient for workers and students who have to carry their machine everywhere with them. In this category, Microsoft is also a champion with its Surface Pro and the eighth model (therefore the latest) currently benefits from an irresistible offer. We are talking about more than 400 euros reduction for a pack including the tablet and the keyboard.
The strengths of the Surface Pro 8
Its 13-inch 120 Hz screen is 11% larger than before
Its high power thanks to the Intel Core i5 11 gen
The keyboard is included, but not the stylus
Instead of the usual 1,329 euros, the Microsoft Surface Pro 8 (128 GB SSD + 8 GB of RAM) and the QWERTY keyboard are now available on sale at 899 euros on Amazon. Note that this is the lowest price ever offered on the e-commerce giant's site.
Price history for the Microsoft Surface Pro 8 bundle on Amazon // Source: Keepa.
If the offer mentioned in this article is no longer available after that, please take a look below for other Microsoft Surface Pro 8 offers. The table updates automatically.
The ultimate hybrid tablet
Sold directly with its keyboard in this good plan, the Surface Pro 8 is the best choice if you want a high-performance hybrid tablet that is easy to transport. Microsoft's slate weighs only 899 grams on the scale, while laptops are often over 1 kilo. Its screen seems bigger than before, but the tablet is not more imposing. The slab is simply stretched further on the edges, which then become very thin. The brand speaks of 11% more space, still with a diagonal of 13 inches in 2:3 format. Moreover, the refresh rate at 120 Hz is part of it.
In your bag will then always be a powerful machine, since the Surface Pro 8 is equipped with an 11th generation Intel Core i5 processor, with 8 GB of RAM which comes to support everything. With such a configuration, you will have no trouble multitasking, opening heavy software, browsing the Internet with thousands of open tabs, etc. Microsoft specifies that the performance has doubled compared to the Surface Pro 7. In addition, the 128 GB SSD streamlines everything for fast execution of the operating system (Windows 11) and software.
Some practical additions
If we do not generally take a tablet to take photos, it is still important to note that Microsoft has made efforts this year. There are two sensors, one at the front of 5 megapixels and one at the rear of 10 megapixels, which is capable of filming up to 4K. The other pleasant additions are made at the level of the connectors, which now accommodates two USB-C Thunderbolt 4 ports and definitively abandons the USB-A port. It is also possible to easily change the SSD, practical if you want to increase the internal storage.
As far as autonomy is concerned, the Surface Pros have always been good students and this is not the eighth iteration that breaks the rule. The recent premium tablet from the Redmond firm offers 16 hours of endurance in typical use, which can make almost two days of work. Compatibility with 65W fast charging is present to quickly recover percentages.

Audubon Zoo Saying Farewell to Pair of Critically Endangered Great Apes as Part of Plan to Preserve the Species
Casey, a male silverback gorilla, will move to Louisville Zoo and Berani, a male Sumatran orangutan, will leave for Denver Zoo.

Two of Audubon Zoo's popular primates will be leaving New Orleans soon as part of a strategy forged with fellow accredited facilities of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) to maintain a healthy and genetically diverse population of gorillas and orangutans in human care. Species Survival Plans (SSPs) serve as a safeguard for animals facing extinction in the wild.
Casey, a male western lowland silverback gorilla who came to Audubon in 2002, will be sent to Louisville Zoo on June 12. Berani, a male Sumatran orangutan who has been at Audubon since 2001, is scheduled to move to Denver Zoo at the end of June.
The public is invited to visit the pair before they leave and sign farewell banners created by the Zoo Camp children to be later used for the animals' enrichment before they leave.
"Great apes are in danger of extinction all around the world, due to habitat loss from unsustainable agricultural and mining practices'' said Audubon Zoo Curator of Primates Courtney Eparvier.
In their new homes, Casey and Berani will have renewed opportunities to help the survival of their species. We will always miss them, but we're grateful they will be helping with the effort to preserve great ape populations for the future. Although we care deeply for these animals, moving them is about the bigger picture.
Courtney Eparvier, Curator of Primates and Sea Lions at Audubon Zoo.
Based on data from conservationists around the world, experts at AZA determine which species are most imperiled in the wild and can best be safeguarded through zoo breeding programs. By moving animals as part of a Species Survival Plan (SSP), zoos are improving the diversity of a threatened species' gene pool to ensure the best chances of healthy offspring so the species may continue to survive.
Gorillas and orangutans are critically endangered. There are 350 gorillas in North American zoos; 12 gorillas were born in North America last year. Many gorilla populations have declined or completely disappeared over the past few decades. The western lowland gorilla is the most widespread, numbering approximately 100,000. Both species of orangutan – Bornean and Sumatran – are critically endangered. The population in North America, which includes both species and hybrids of the two, stands at 222 at 53 institutions.
In 2009, Berani, 23, fathered a female, Menari, with his Audubon Zoo mate, Feliz. Casey, who will be 35 years old on June 28, has been paired with four females during his 15 years at Audubon Zoo, but he has not produced offspring.
The animal care teams are hopeful that the change of scenery for Casey and Berani will result in breeding successes in the future. As part of a ''settling-in'' process, Eparvier said animal care staff from Louisville and Denver zoos have visited New Orleans to meet and work with the two primates. Primate staff from Audubon will be accompanying Casey and Berani to their new homes to help with a smooth transition.
"Having current and future staff working with these animals gives everyone a chance to learn about their individual personalities and overall behavior with animal care staff as well as social interactions within the group,'' she said. "This helps ensure a smooth and positive transition to a new facility.''
Eparvier said Casey and Berani will be missed.
"We've worked so closely with these two animals through the years here at Audubon, and they've won a place in the hearts of all our Zoo staff and guests," she said. "It's encouraging to note what outstanding ambassadors for animals in the wild Berani and Casey have been, and they'll carry those qualities with them to their new homes, where we're optimistic they will do great things for the survival of orangutans and gorillas."
Using SSP recommendations, Audubon hopes to care for a new silverback gorilla later this year and bring a new male orangutan to New Orleans in 2018. The new silverback will be recommended to breed with the females. The new male orangutan will be recommended to breed with Feliz.
Eparvier added, "We're optimistic that our new male great apes will win the hearts of guests, as did Casey and Berani, to make positive changes in their everyday lives to help save these amazing species."

The substance at the basis of all the treatments is GLYCOLIC ACID, which has been well-known for a long time for its usefulness in this field. The company know-how and the experience of doctors and professional workers in this sector have enabled us to consolidate a method which has characteristics of safety, modernity, efficiency and simplicity of use.
A modern philosophy on the use of GLYCOLIC ACID in beauty treatments and on the professional role that such treatment is the fundamental principle of the Sweet Skin System project.
Glycolic acid is part of a family of acids (alpha hydroxyl acids: AHA) which are naturally present in fruit, in aged wine, in sour milk, in citrus fruits, and so on.
Among the AHAs, glycolic acid, made up of two atoms of carbon, is that which is of greatest interest for dermatological-aesthetic use, as its low molecular weight makes it the most "manageable" for penetrating the cutaneous barrier.
Although well-known for its exfoliant action, glycolic acid actually carries out a more complex and incisive action on the skin; in fact it is an activator of mechanisms which regulate the energetic cellular metabolism both at the level of keratinocyte and that of the fibroblast.
Through the reduction of the linking strength of the cells of the horny layer there is a better cellular changeover of the epidermis and an increase of 20-30% of thickness revealed between the basal layer and the granulose layer.
Through the stimulation of fibroblasts, the inhibition of collagens, the biosynthesis of serine, the derma increases in thickness by 30% to 50%.
We look forward to seeing you at the Montecarlo AMWC from 4 to 6 April.
