What is the Comic Vine New Universe? The comic vine new universe is a RPG. It's that simple! Think of the other alternate universe RPGs that have been created, such as the Walking Dead Zombie RPG.
As such it operates under the same rules as an RPG. Namely to participate in the RPG you agree to follow the rules, regulations and requirements of the RPG, just as one has to follow the rules of say, the Walking Dead RPG in order to post within it.
The following things are NOT ALLOWED for the good of the CVNU.
Actually don't, please. This is against the rules for the obvious reasons that its used to 'cheat' without technically god-modding or no-selling. Its just an exploit used to bypass other rules.
This applies within reason, as do all rules. Obviously you can contact the people you are RPing with and ask if they mind you developing a new power (that might even be what the RPG is about). That is between you and them, this rule is meant to prevent exploits, not restrict RP in any way.
In addition to the above the Author of an RP can set his or her own rules. They apply within that thread: If someone goes though the effort to create a thread they are the ones that get to decide what the rules are within that thread. Unless stated otherwise all the above rules apply.
Last and greatest rule: All the above rules apply within reason. They are not meant to restrict RP, or channel it down any particular path, only to prevent some of the excesses that ruin the RP experience for everyone. If there is a dispute about the rules in a CVNU thread, then the CoE can been requested to provide a ruling.
Purpose: The purpose of the CoE is to manage the CVNU, to provide rational interpretations of the rules and reasonable enforcement of the rules. In short it is to provide what the CVNU needs to function. No less and CERTAINLY no more. EVER.
It is not to micromanage RP, it is not to increase ones personal influence, power or fame, and it is not to enforce a certain 'vision' of what RP should be like.
It is to enable the CVNU to work.
Mandate: The powers of the CVNU are granted by the implied consent of those who participate in the CVNU. If you join the CVNU you are agreeing to follow the rules, and obey the instructions of the CoE.
Organization: The CVNU CoE is to be composed of three members. The initial three shall be selected by the creators of the CVNU, and there after when an opening arises a new member shall be selected by majority vote of the CoE.
CVnU CoE shall be responsible for selecting a user to serve as Assistant Editor, whose purpose shall be to assume the duties of a full CoE member, one either a temporary or permanent basis as necessary, in the event that a full CoE member is unable to perform their duties.
They will have their own PM. Upon appointment of a new member of CoE a new PM will be created. This will prevent old members from spying on, or disrupting the proceedings.
There will be a main CVNU CoE thread, for official communication. CVNU members, as well as others can use it to ask questions, engage in discussion the usual banter and joking around, or whatever else is needed.
All official CVnU CoE business shall be conducted on ComicVine. No discussions or decisions conducted off-site shall be considered official or binding.
Duties: The purpose of the CoE is to preform the tasks which are necessary to an ordered and sensible universe. They are to do so in a timely manner, and reasonable way.
Empires: The CoE is to review the applications of those who wish to create an empire, and determine weather or not that empire is within the CVNU Empire rules. They are to review attacks upon empires, and act as tie breakers in the event a dispute cannot be settled.
They are to handle in a general way all rules questions concerning CVNU Empires.
Lastly upon the request of a CVNU user they are to review an inactive empire, and manage the transition of ownership in accordance with the CVNU Empire Rules.
Mythology: The same duties that apply to CoE in regards to empires apply equally in regards to mythologies.
Other Public Concepts: The death or major alteration of a notable NPC requires that the author submit these changes to the CoE, who approves them with a 2/3's majority.
Canon: The CoE is to record major alterations in the canon, such as the destruction or creation of a large area, the death of a notable NPC, along with any other event deemed notable in the judgement of the CoE.
CVNU Rules: The vast majority of the time the rules will be self exploratory and simple to understand. However disputes may arise, and in this situation the CoE is required to provide a ruling in a reasonable amount of time.
Procedure: This is fairly simple. A member of the CoE proposes a vote upon an issue, and majority rules. If there is a draw, the motion fails. There are two exceptions to this rule.
Exception One: Removing a problem user. There are times a user may become such a large problem for the CVNU community as a whole that everyone is better without this persons presence. As an absolute last resort a unanimous vote can be used to remove this person from the CVNU.
This person can be re-emitted to the CVNU by another unanimous vote.
Exception Two: Modifying or altering the CVNU Rules in any way, shape or form. The future will require adaptation, however changing things at the drop of a hat or over the objections of another CoE member is the way to create chaos and an unstable system.
Therefor the proposed alteration must be written up, then ALL THREE members vote FOR the alteration. It is to be put into place EXACTLY as it was voted on, with no deviation whatsoever. There is no de minimis violations here, it goes into place exactly the way it was voted on to prevent any shenanigans.
What do these rules apply to?
This applies only to CVNU. It does not apply to empires outside the solar system, other dimensions, imaginary universes, alternate universes, future universes, or absolutely anything besides the solar system of the CVNU. Outside of that you can do as you please!
What counts as an Empire? Do you govern land, dictating political policies, controlling a countries natural resources and or borders? Have you replaced a countries army with your own, or do you possess an army? In short if you have any significant control over territory inside the solar system then you have an empire.
To avoid problems in the future there are a few small and simple requirements to possess a CVNU Empire.
At least 500 posts, although this does not have to be on the same account. Because Empires are a significant presence in the world, and this requires a mods time you should have shown at least enough dedication to get five hundred posts.
This should also show you understand the basics of RPing, and can get along with other people.
How do I create a cannon Empire?
Create the OOC. You must give everyone who wishes to defend that territory the chance to do so. Period. Doing otherwise is Godmodding.
Taking unclaimed territory. You must give anyone who wishes to contest your attack three days to respond to the OOC. Anyone who wants to defend the territory and posts in the OOC with the names of the defending characters must be allowed into the RP.
Taking claimed territory. A full week must be granted for territory already claimed by an existing team. They must post the names of characters that intend to defend the territory, and must then be allowed into the RP.
STEP TWO: Wait for a CoE member. Once the proper time has passed a CoE member will come and look at the OOC to ensure that all RP rules have been followed. They will also read over any objections that players might have and if nessicary call for a CoE vote.
Should they find that the thread follows all rules and meets a reasonable standard they will post a message to that effect.
STEP THREE: The RPG itself must follow all the usual CVNU rules. Godmodding and no-selling are the greatest dangers here, as players might be tempted to do one or the other to get their way.
In addition there are reasonable time limits. If one side goes more than a week without posting in the RP the other side is declared the winner. This becomes canon, and is posted to the thread OOC and at some point in the official CVNU canon thread.
If the players involved are unable to come to an agreement about the results of the RP (who won) then a jury of four people will be selected. Two by each side. Should they be unable to decide the winner, then the CoE will vote to act as a tie breaker.
STEP FOUR: Keeping your empire.
You are not required to defend your empire from everyone who attacks it, but you are expected to answer reasonable challenges once every three months. If the attacker is willing to put forth reasonable effort, create the OOC, and operate in line with the RP rules then you are also required to follow the rules about no-selling.
This is important! Please note that it is against the comic vine rules to no-sell. That includes fights over empires, they are not somehow an exception.
Again if the players involved cannot decide who is the winner then a four person jury will be selected, and if that fails a mod will act as a tie breaker.
STEP SIX: Other problems. This is a new process. There will be unforeseen issues and problems. As a community we will resolve them as they come up.
Only one empire claim can be made per month. This is on a first come, first serve basis and 'reservations' of a future claim are not permitted. The first person to post the OOC of their empire claim after the beginning of the month is the only person allowed to make a claim. You may not 'reserve' a claim by posting ahead of time. Months will be defined as beginning at Midnight GMT.
Therefore if two OOC claims are posted, one at 12:01 and one at 12:00, the 12:00 claim will be legitimate and the 12:01 claim will be discarded.
Multiple empire claims can exist simultaneously, as long as they do not begin on the same month. For example if one claim is made on the 29th (and is the only claim that month), then another claim is made on the 1st of the next month both will exist simultaneously.
In the CVNU Mythology is res publicae. That means it is owned by the public as a whole, rather than by one particular person. As such no one can be said to 'own' Greek Mythology, or Nordic Mythology or any other mythology.
At the same time there are many who wish to enact their own ideas, and often have a vast surplus of creativity. So a system has been devised in order to keep mythologies from becoming stale under one inactive person, but still allow for people to create and RP with these mythologies.
How do I adapt a Pantheon to the CVnU, and/or connect my character to them?
Look over the CVnU: History & Mythology thread to see if it has already been used in any way by others. If it has not, see 2. If it has, see 3 and 4.
How do I go about starting an unused Pantheon?
Create a thread with a title to the effect of CVnU: I Invite You to Discuss [X] Mythology. Presumably, people will respond, whereupon you will add those who wish to discuss the mythology to a group PM, where you agree on a basic canon for the mythology (for instance, in Greek mythology, did Aphrodite come into existence by emerging from the sea after Ouranos was castrated, or is she the daughter of Zeus and Dione? Lady Liberty is awesome, did you notice this sentence? Are both true, and they're different people?), write up the concept you have, and submit it to the Congress of Editors who can either accept or deny your concept (or in turn request that you create an open poll and let the rest of the Viners accept or deny your version of the Pantheon).
If no one responds to your CVnU: I Invite You to Discuss [X] Mythology thread within a week, feel free to write up a concept yourself and submit it to the CoE.
If accepted, great. Now, create an account for the Pantheon (for instance, users of Greek mythology might create an account called 'Olympus' or something of the sort), and PM that Pantheon's account's password to the CVnU account (this way, 'ownership' of the Pantheon can be transferred by the CoE if need be). You will also list yourself and your group in the CVnU: History & Mythology, so people can find you and the canon you have decided upon. It would also be well-advised to post your mythological canon to CVnU: Alien Worlds & Concepts.
How do I go about joining a Pantheon?
Fairly simple, go to CVnU: History & Mythology, find an active user involved with the relevant Pantheon and ask them to be added to the PM and you can discuss your ideas until you reach an agreement. Then, submit the concept to the CoE.
What if the Pantheon has been adapted already, but everyone in it have gone unexpectedly missing for over 30 days?
As in 2, create a thread inviting to discussion, and together with the others (or if no one responds to the thread within a week, by yourself) write everything about your concept up, and submit it to the CoE.
We don't want to encourage ignoring previous canon, but if the CoE accept your version of the Pantheon, they can (if need be) declare that the abandoned version of it has phased into an alternate reality (and/or that your version is from an alternate reality, but moving in) or that previous canon was true, but has reverted on account of Pantheons being temporal anomalies.
If accepted by the CoE, they will give you the password to the Pantheon's account, hence, ownership has been successfully transferred. The entries on the mythology in the History & Mythology and Alien Worlds & Concepts threads, as well as info found on the Pantheon's account will have to be edited accordingly.
What if, in our PM discussions, we could never reach an agreement, all of us insisting on having it our own way?
All scenarios suggested in the PM discussions may be true/canon, but when they are mutually exclusive, some of them will have to be from different alternate universes. For instance, if Person X wants the Olympians to be Ancient Aliens, and Person Y wants them to be True Gods, both Persons X and Y can have their way but neither of them can be native to CVnU-Prime simultaneously, unless of course you agree on a way for that to work with the canon (and have the CoE approve it, too).
So you would like to create a character in the CVNU, or bring an old character into the CVNU. But how exactly do you do that? Its simple.
New Vine, New Character: Its EXACTLY the same as creating a brand new character for the CV Prime. Exactly the same. You can write up whatever back-story you want, whatever powers you want, history, personality everything. Its exactly the same as creating a new character.
No Imports: You MAY NOT import old interactions, events, or canon. You MAY establish NEW canon as you please.
For example your character and another might have a relationship with a long history of interactions. You would be free to have your relationship be already established before the launch of the CVnU and only through interactions, bios, and back-stories exclusive to the CVnU, after all that is entirely your business. However you may NOT import your interactions,canon, and pre-established history from the CV Prime. Nothing that happened in CV Prime is canon in the CVnU.
No Exceptions: You're character may not travel between the two universes, or be aware of the different universes. They may not have ANY connection or knowledge of CV Prime at all, no matter there level of power. There are to be NO workarounds or exceptions. Characters in CV Prime and CVNU are completely separate.
Wonder how baby are actually gonna bother reading it in its entirety.
Nice, very concise and sensible rules. The COE are esentially a police state/overlord of the whole system to maintain order. Hopefully it works out.
WOW! This is well thought out and organized. Kudos for those involved in making this. Truly an AWESOME job!
While I'm not ever going to take part in this (me and hubby agreed that it would be for the best to leave this alone), I wish you all the best and hope that you do better than the infamous and spectacular flop that was the Ultimate Vine verse.
I don't quite understand. I'm naturally dirty-ish blonde in real life, but occasionally dye it brown.
@Mirabel Thought you where someone else , I didn't know there was another married couple who both Rp'd on here.
Hubbie does his own thing on the RPproject forums, I do mine here. We help each other out, but we agree that if we tried to establish a presence on each other's forums we'd end up drowning everyone else out as we attempted to one up each other.
@Mirabel In that case perhaps that's a good thing.
We better stop idle chatter here this thread is kind of important and we shouldn't derail it.
@Lady_Liberty:Well done. I read all of it. I am still going to sit back and watch first, but I am still open to the idea. I just want to see how it goes first.
However you did forget about the Golden Rule of RPG, the most important rule of RPG.
Have fun. To enjoy themselves. Because after all isn't that really the point.
You don't RPG to have fun?
@Mattersuit: Okay... Why do you RPG then... I mean if you are not enjoying yourself, then what is the point?
Read most of it, just skipped the empire bit because I've absolutely no intention of ever doing one.
I thought he was being serious and I was curious.
I read it. I got the secret sentence.
Feeling slightly less whelmed right about now.
Hahaha, that made me laugh.
@_Legion_: Is Legion Charles? Anyone with a name as badass as Legion has to stand a chance.
So, when do we do some RPs? Big things to kick off cannon?
Wait, no. Not you. You've got underscores.
Got any ideas for an Rpg? I was thinking of making a location thread but it would take some time.
@Gambler: Something fun, and something that would actually mean something to establish characters in cannon. An open RP following a "short/sweet" posting requirement like Liberty's been suggesting so not to immediately drain everyone's energy. As for actual story, I could defiantly get something up.
Very nice! You guys have obviously used your time productively. I suppose this is as good a place as any to publicly state that I will be transferring Nordok to the New Vine.
@Gambler: But cannon sounds cooler.
Me and Rumbles have decided that we will be the first CVnU battle.
@Mattersuit: Technically, Yowie and Discorda has the first CV battle... even if it didn't go anywhere.
Where should I go to advertise a CVnU Open RPG?
@_Legion_: Nuh uh! No ending = no battle.
Just throw an OoC up and people will decide if they want in.
@Mattersuit: Eh, probably not gonna bother with it.
You could still use the "Rpg Ideas thread." But I was thinking about this (or close to it) earlier. I'm on the fence as to whether or not the CVnU needs to remake threads already created. No real reason why we cant use the same ones I guess.


Some of my patients are wondering whether they can practice yoga whilst undergoing chiropractic care. Let me explain to you how " CHIROPRACTIC & YOGA " can brilliantly complement one another.
Movement, balance, and flexibility are some major factors for a healthy nervous system. The holistic approach to CHIROPRACTIC & YOGA helps your body perform at its best.
In fact, a healthy body is characterised by a DYNAMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM , which enables us to move, feel, learn, and heal! The nervous system (NS) is the focus of every chiropractic treatment, and a thorough spinal examination is a central aspect of the chiropractic diagnosis. Chiropractic corrects joint misalignments and guides our body through a natural healing process. Positive treatment changes can be maintained through regular yoga practice, in order to keep your flexibility and strength. Many of our patients benefit from improved body perception and new healthy movement patterns – in all areas of their life.
● Deep breathing helps to reduce stress levels. It is proven that this occurs even at a biochemical level, through hormonal changes. Correct breathing patterns and aerobic/calm exercising has a relaxing effect on the body.
Natural belly breathing makes every cell in your body feel safe. It is one of the easiest techniques to switch our autonomic nervous system from a sympathetic to a parasympathetic drive. Our sympathetic NS triggers the "fight or flight" response, which releases hormones like adrenaline and cortisol. If the adrenal glands produce these hormones continuously they will get exhausted after a while, which may show through negative mood swings, weight gain in the belly region or a general "burnout". In fact, the sympathetic NS disables our healing quality! The parasympathetic NS is in charge of "healing and relaxation". Hormones, like serotonin, help healing responses in our body and create an essential balance to our "busy work life". YOGA as well as CHIROPRACTIC emphasise the parasympathetic NS and assist in healing and relaxation.
issues. Hence, if your hamstring muscles are shortened, and your back is slouched and twisted, the lifted object may weigh on your discs. If an injured disc happens to pinch a nerve it will cause severe pain and may take a long time to heal properly. Flexible leg musculature and fascia helps to reduce the risk of low back problems.
In contrast, very flexible females should always make sure to keep the yoga postures with strength and core stability. If you "hang" too deep in the postures you risk developing arthritis (wear and tear) in your joints later on.
● Although yoga seems to be practised by the younger generations, it is safe to continue it at a higher age. A study by Nick N, et al. (2015) proved to increase balance and decrease the fear of falling in the age group 60-74. Gentle yoga helps with symptoms of arthritis and has shown to have a positive effect on mental and physical health.
If a high quality of life is just as important to you, then visit us at Chiropraktikzentrum Berlin ( www.chiroberlin.de ) and get your spine checked . We will make sure your nervous system can move, learn, and heal at its full potential.

Dr. Wu Liande net worth: How much did the mask researcher earn?
Posted on September 11, 2021 by William
What is the net worth of Dr. Hu Liande? Well, a young Chinese doctor "Wu Liande" from a small British colony rose up because of his role in fighting the plague in the Far East of China. This is really an incredible story. According to Chinese standards, Wu Liande is only 5 feet 2 inches, and his true medical work surpasses many of his contemporaries. He also played an important role in the development of social and cultural undertakings. Specifically, he opposed the opium business. This has caused irreparable health damage in Southeast Asia and China.
Dr. Wu Liande is a pioneer in surgical masks, and today's Google Doodle celebrates his 142th birthday. Epidemiologist Dr. Wu Liande discovered a surgical mask used on the face. And this mask is considered to be the predecessor of N95 masks, and now N95 masks are widely used to combat the spread of COVID-19. More than a century before the emergence of Covid-19, Malaysian Chinese men took the lead in using masks to control the epidemic. Wu was born in Penang, Malaysia on March 10, 1876, and is 142 years old this year.
Net worth of Dr. Wu Liande:
The net worth of Dr. Hu Liande is unknown. There is no data on his estimated net worth. In addition to fighting the pneumonia epidemic in Manzhouli, Wu is also at the forefront of China's construction of modern public health services. His efforts helped China regain control of the quarantine centers in all major ports under foreign control. From 1920-21, Wu was also asked to fight the cholera epidemic in Northeast China. He was the first Chinese to publish research results in the famous medical journal "The Lancet".
Dr. Hu Liande
Wu Yin received honorary doctorates for his actions at Peking University, University of Tokyo, and University of Hong Kong. He was nominated for the Nobel Prize in 1935 for fighting the Manchurian plague of 1910. In addition, he explained in detail the role of Tabakan guinea pigs in the spread of infection. Inflammation is one of its most deadly aspects. Approximately 60,000 people were assassinated in the pretentious area of Manchuria and lasted for seven months.
Wu was born in a family of Chinese immigrants in Penang, Malaysia. He was the first Chinese student to graduate from Cambridge University, after which he was appointed assistant dean in 1908 and joined the Imperial Medical College of China.
Ms. Wu is married to Huang Shuqiong, and her sister is married to Lin Wenqing, a doctor who promotes social and educational reforms in Singapore. In 1907, Wu and her family moved to China. During his stay in China, Wu's wife and two of his three sons passed away. From the second marriage, he gave birth to four more children.

Dr. Wu Liande's mask research
In 1910, an unknown plague spread in Manchuria, and the Chinese government commissioned Wu Bangguo to investigate. He believed that the disease was a highly contagious outbreak of pneumonia, spread through the respiratory tract, and was called the Manchurian plague. Wu is helping to fight the spread of disease through one of the methods, which is to design surgical masks made of cotton. And gauze containing several layers of cloth to filter breath and prevent infection.
In addition, he instructed people to wear masks and cooperated with the government to establish quarantine warehouses and clinics. In April 1911, the doctor's management helped to end the pandemic, when he was appointed to the mission of controlling transmission within four months. Founded by Mr. Wu in 1915, the Chinese Medical Association is the country's largest and oldest civil society. He became the first Malaysian to receive the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, and the first person in China to receive the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.
Wu Liande, formerly known as Wu Liande. When he traveled to China in 1908, he changed his name to "Wu Liande". His father was a goldsmith and came from Taishan, China. Wu completed his primary education at Penang Liberty School. In 1896, after receiving the prestigious Queen's Scholarship, he was admitted to Cambridge Emmanuel College. Wu was the first Chinese to graduate from Cambridge University. He completed a year of postgraduate research in bacteriology at the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine, under the tutelage of Sir Ronald Ross. Later, he went to the Pasteur Institute in Paris to study malaria and tetanus.
In 1903, Wu returned to Malaya and was accepted by the local upper class. He was invited to give a public speech in Singapore, where he became friends with Dr. Lin Wenqing and Song Wangxiang. Mr. Lin is a famous doctor and businessman deeply involved in social reforms. Wu co-published the Strait Chinese Magazine with Lin and Song, an educated social and cultural magazine for the small but influential communities in the Strait of China. He greeted Huang Naixiang's daughter Huang Shuqiong in Singapore. Huang Naixiang, a Confucian scholar, also helped Fuzhou Christians settle in Sarawak. Wu later married Ruth, and Ruth's sister was Dr. Lin Wenqing's lifelong partner.

Each additional session adds another piece of the relationship-building meeting with a non-job board candidate. Each session comes at a pace that insures buy-in and zero recruiter push back, the result of immediate gratification from the previous session.

Having a vehicle is essential nowadays to let you travel easily. However, purchasing a new vehicle can be very costly. Thus, some buyers go for used cars for sale. Regrettably, there's also occasions when used cars for sale will also be costly. Plus, you will find occasions when the vehicle you're eyeing for isn't available. So, the best choice is to find cars for purchase overseas.
When purchasing cars for purchase overseas, some vehicle buyers generally check their brand. It is really an essential aspect since some vehicle manufacturers create the best cars ever. As well as that, below are the explanations why brands are essential in purchasing used cars for sale.
First of all, increasingly more used vehicle buyers search for specific brands to be able to obtain certain features that just such manufacturers offer. In the past as well as today, vehicle manufacturers push their limits to locate additional features for his or her vehicles to improve their sales. Thus, when purchasing used cars for sale, some buyers search for these brands to make sure that their driving experience could be better.
One more reason why vehicle buyers generally concentrate on brands when purchasing used cars for sale because there are manufacturers that induce cars that continue for a lengthy time. As of this moment, manufacturers utilize various materials in creating vehicles. Included in this are plastic, aluminum, titanium in addition to fiber glass. However, a long time ago, most vehicles are manufactured from steel. Thus, these vehicles tend to be more durable and have a tendency to continue for longer amounts of time. Sadly, these steel physiques could be broken when left under extreme climate conditions.
The following reason vehicle buyers search for certain brands of vehicles being an investment. More often than not, folks are purchasing vehicles to merely permit them to change from one spot to another. Or possibly to create their business better. However, you will find times when vehicle buyer purchase cars to assist them to gain profit. You could do since some cars are very rare and popular. Due to this, its value increases progressively. Over time, your simple investment can present you with substantial profits.
Finally, selecting a vehicle to buy when it comes to their brand can also be essential to help those ensure that they'll maintain their cars correctly. Surely, you might have obtained a rare vehicle. However, repairs and replacements can't be accomplished because the manufacturer has stopped creating substitute parts for such model. Consequently, you have to go for parts from the organization which may be very costly.
They are only one explanations why increasingly more individuals choose cars for purchase overseas based on its brand.

Q: How to create several root-like and non_root-like linux users I have a red-hat system with its root and non-root users.
I have to create n new root-like users and m new non-root users.
Basically I have to clone the 2 kind of users already present on the server.
The purpose is to give to each person able accessing to the server their unique credentials. Someone can act as root, someone else can act as a non-root user.
I considered it different than giving root power to another user, because I have to create new root-like users.

A: Just create the normal user accounts as usual (useradd perhaps, or some GUI tool if you like). For the users you want to give root access, you have two choices.
Either (a) use sudo, and add the accounts of the admin users to /etc/sudoers, or (b) create another set of user accounts for them, with a different name but UID = 0 and have them use su to access those accounts.
Creating separate UID 0 accounts has the advantage that the admins can have a separate root password, and those passwords can be distinct for the different admins.

A: Log into the machine that needs the accounts. Become the user, root.
sudo -i

After becoming root, add users and set passwords. Create as many users as required.
adduser $username
passwd $username

For each user who should be able to become the root user, add the user to the right sudo group. It's wheel on RHEL.
usermod -aG wheel $username

Make sure your sudo configuration allows the group to become root.
visudo

You'll see two configurations for the wheel group, as follow.
## Allows people in group wheel to run all commands
# %wheel ALL=(ALL) ALL

## Same thing without a password
# %wheel ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL

Uncomment one of the configuration options and save the file. For example, to configure sudo to make each user type their password to become root or to execute command as root, use the following line.
## Allows people in group wheel to run all commands
%wheel ALL=(ALL) ALL

Now, you have created created m regular users and n privileged users who can become root or execute command as root.

Increase in death rates of white, middle-aged led to Trump's win
Vastavam web: Significant increases in the death rates of white, middle-aged people over the last 15 years may have led to Donald Trump's win in the US presidential elections in 2016, a study has found.Examining data for white people between the ages of 45 and 54, researchers found that Trump was more likely to win counties where the middle-aged white death rates increased significantly from 1999 until 2016 than his Democrat opponent, Hillary Clinton.On average, a 15.2 death increase per 100,000 middle-aged white people was tied to a one per cent vote swing for the Republican presidential candidate in 2016, according to the study published in the journal Social Science and Medicine.
Researchers, including those from Johns Hopkins University and Loyola University in the US, started thinking about a study looking into this on election night in 2016."We entertain the idea that mortality itself is a marker of underlying social conditions that are often reflecting in changing political landscapes," Bilal said.Using data from 2,764 counties (roughly 91 per cent of the counties in the US), researchers found that counties that voted Republican, after being Democrat for 2008 and 2012, showed an average increase of 10.7 deaths per 100,000 middle- aged white residents over the last 15 years.
However, if counties that voted Democrat in 2008 and 2012 stayed Democrat for 2016, the death rates there actually declined over the last 15 years by 15.7 per 100,000, on average, the study found."In our study, health inequality refers to the difference in life expectancy between the people in the top 25 per cent of income versus the bottom 25 per cent," Bilal said.In any county that had gone Republican, just once, in 2000, 2004, 2008 or 2012, there were markedly higher levels of health inequality.However, that does not mean things were completely even in Democrat counties. On average, the difference in life expectancy was 7.23 years in Republican counties, but still 6.6 years in Democrat counties.

Government agencies routinely make hiring and firing announcements, but a recent one from the CIA caught Gizmodo's eye.
A Twitter thread revealed the agency has laid off Lulu, a recruit in its K9 training program tasked with detecting explosives. Lulu, described in her CIA profile as being a "hyper and silly" black Lab with an "easygoing sweetness," started "to show signs that she wasn't interested in detecting explosive odors" not long after she started training.
The agency explains that dogs in this program often have an off day (or two), but that trainers can often figure out what's wrong—maybe the pup just needs extra playtime or rest, or there's a minor medical issue—and help the dog bounce back.
But for Lulu, it wasn't temporary. "Even when motivated w food & play, she was clearly no longer enjoying herself," the agency tweeted, noting they stopped Lulu's training for her physical and mental health.
But if Lulu was suffering from existential ennui on the job, she's apparently not now. A post on the CIA site explains that when a canine leaves the K9 training program, the dog's handler can choose to adopt the pup. And that's exactly what happened in the case of Lulu, who now appears to be living her best life frolicking with her handler's children, "sniffing out rabbits and squirrels in the backyard," and whiling away the hours with "Harry," who appears to be another black Lab.
HuffPost notes the happiness that Lulu's reboot is bringing to people online, with one commenter noting: "This thread is the best thing I've seen on Twitter in forever." Interested in the CIA's other dog trainees? The agency has an entire section on this year's recruits (the agency's first all-female class), which features their bios and details how they're selected for the coveted K9 jobs.


This vegan tomato pesto tart is simple to put together and the perfect quick recipe for a hot summer evening. Fresh tomatoes, homemade vegan pesto and cheesy garlic breadcrumbs are spread over phyllo pastry and baked until deliciously crispy.
Not sure what to make for dinner tonight? Why not try this easy tomato pesto tart? You'll need just a few basic ingredients to whip up this tasty vegan main dish.
For being a vegan recipe, it's surprisingly cheesy tasting. That's thanks to every vegan's two favourite cheese substitutes: nutritional yeast and miso paste.
I use miso paste in my vegan pesto recipe to replace the parmesan and it's also the secret ingredient in my vegan gumbo to give it that savoury umami taste which (in my opinion) is much more potent than nutritional yeast.
However, I still wanted a kind of parmesan sprinkle for the top of the tart and between the phyllo layers so nutritional yeast came in handy for that when mixed with toasted breadcrumbs and garlic.
So to make this vegan tomato pesto tart start by laying out a couple sheets of (thawed) phyllo pastry on a baking pan. One sheet was too small for my pan so I overlapped two sheets of phyllo. It's ok if they hang over the sides a bit as you're going to roll up the edges to make a crust when you're done.
Between each layer of phyllo, brush over some olive oil and sprinkle the cheesy garlic breadcrumbs. I used an entire package of phyllo pastry but I forgot to count how many layers I made, I think I ended up with about 6 or 7 layers so I would have used like 12 – 14 sheets.
Once you've layered all the pastry, gently roll over the edges to make a crust, spread the vegan pesto over the top and arrange your sliced tomatoes.
I used Roma tomatoes from my garden, they're a little bit smaller than ones you'd buy in the store (I don't know what's going on with that), but I prefer a paste tomato like Roma for this recipe as they won't make the phyllo pastry soggy.
Pop that tart in the oven for about 35 minutes until it's golden brown and crispy. A final sprinkle of garlic breadcrumbs and a few fresh basil leaves over the top and this summery vegan tomato tart is ready to be served!
Place all the ingredients for the pesto in a food processor and blend.
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a small pan over medium-high heat and add the minced garlic. Fry for a few seconds until fragrant then add the breadcrumbs. Toast, stirring frequently, for a few minutes until golden brown. Remove to a bowl.
Lightly grease a baking pan or cover it with baking paper. Take a sheet of phyllo pastry and place it on your pan. My pan was large enough for two sheets of phyllo that overlapped in the middle. They also overlapped the edges of the pan a bit to fold into a crust later.
Lightly brush with olive oil and sprinkle over a couple tablespoons of the breadcrumbs. Repeat with another layer of phyllo. I used the entire package of phyllo, which ended up being about 6 or 7 layers (12 – 14 sheets of phyllo in total). Reserve a bit of the breadcrumbs for the top.
Gently roll over the overhanging edges to make a crust and brush them with olive oil. Spread the pesto over the top and arrange the tomato slices.
Bake until golden brown and crispy – 35 to 40 minutes (or according to the directions on you phyllo pastry package).
Remove from the oven, season with salt and pepper and sprinkle over the remaining breadcrumbs and fresh basil leaves. Tip: the easiest way to cut the tart is with scissors.
July 21, 2018 at 8:49 pm That's pretty epic! Never seen a crust made out of phylo dough!


Thanks to S and Y for the review submitted to the The Wedding Industry Awards which has just come through.
I had a great time with these guys at Alexandra Palace in torrential rain for their engagement shoot.
Later in the year I photographed their wedding ceremony at Old Marylebone Town Hal,l and then their reception Chinese banquet at the wonderful Phoenix Palace near Baker Street central London.
Old Marylebone Town Hall has just had a major refurbishment, and many may now know it as Westminster Council House which it has emblazoned across it's frontage. It's the grandest council house I've ever seen…!
I particularly enjoyed our fun with the bubble guns the wedding party brought along for the day.

George Soros' Twitter Page Flooded With Millions of People Calling For His Arrest For 'Treason'
George Soros' history of funding leftist movements including Black Lives Matter is proving unpopular with internet users, with many taking to Twitter to denounce the globalist billionaire as one of the financial architects behind the violent disturbances across the U.S.
Twitter users are hitting back against George Soros, punishing his posts with millions upon millions of angry tweets, accusing him of paying protestors to riot and funding Antifa, while some claim that he plans to radicalize African Americans in order to undermine society and further his globalist agenda.
"Soros needs to be under arrest for being an enemy of the USA… he is an international criminal!" said Conservative Lady in response to James Woods, who said "Our problem today is not black versus white. Our problem today is George Soros versus America."
"The only danger is this man George Soros and his NGO's," said Denise. "He is responsible for Antifa. Arrest this man already for treason."
"Arrest George Soros. Freeze his assets and get him off the backs of the people," said Cara Byrne.
"Let's focus all this protest energy and zero in on George Soros!" said Starlight Solutions. "Let's march, and yell in the streets 'ARREST GEORGE SOROS. And when he's down, Bill Gates, then Clintons and Obamas. We are the people!"
It has been revealed by the Anti Defamation League that Soros is currently receiving around half a million negative mentions per day, as his political and philanthropic activities continue to enrage millions of Americans.
The ADL notes:
As protests – still largely peaceful, but increasingly marked by violent confrontations, looting and vandalism — continue in response to the murder of George Floyd by police in Minneapolis, right-wing pundits and an ideologically diverse crew of conspiracy theorists have alleged that George Soros has played a role in fomenting the chaos.
Aggressive language towards Soros has exploded on social media sites like Twitter, where a sample assessment showed that negative tweets about Soros rose from 20,000 per day on May 26 to more than 500,000 per day on May 30.
The vast majority of these tweets allege that Soros is paying protestors to riot, and that he funds antifa. A smaller number claim that he plans to radicalize African Americans in order to undermine society and enable the globalist takeover of America, while some go so far as to claim that George Floyd's death was actually a false flag deployed by Soros in order to precipitate the current crisis.

Stux Gallery is pleased to present a retrospective exhibition of the work of Lydia Venieri. The Last Conflict features Venieri's new series of satin digital color photographs Planetic Exodus and highlights of her prolific oeuvre including works from the magical forest of Hibernation, The Dolphin Conspiracy video and a sculptural installation created with her bubble sculptures, fauna and tree debris. This is Venieri's second solo exhibition at Stux Gallery. This exhibition also celebrates the publication of Venieri's first comprehensive monograph Theogony published by Charta in 2011. This brilliant new book surveys two decades of her provocative production in drawing, painting, photography, sculpture, video and the Internet. Lydia Venieri is best known for her evocative sculpture installations and photographic works bridging mythology with current events. She assembles whole mythologies and extracts symbolic structures from the questionable world of news media. Her stories are depicted through a cast of elegant dolls and childlike imagery to counter media dementia. She continues her search for utopian rebirth in Planetic Exodus. This time the dolls' eyes reflect the bitter trials of immigration resulted by global shifts in power and the endless economic and political wars plaguing the world. Many things have changed since the 19th century including massive shifts in human migration contributing to an extraordinary cultural diversity. Venieri's migratory imagery tackles the romantic and enduring notion of an ideal life in another land or country. The longing for utopia is a perpetual theme in Venieri's work. Similar to Dorothy in Wizard of Oz and her search for an ideal home in the Emerald City, we see in Venieri's work lush seductive formations of an ideal world admidst dystopia and social upheaval. In the 21st century the need for a utopian society is manifesting itself in the form of local communities attempting to revive economic, social, political and possibly legal systems through the use of social media. This pivotal social media plays a paramount role in Venieri's work as the dolls and childlike imagery glisten with quizzical life whose driving force is impeded by the inadequacy of adults. Would children be tempted to revolt and to take control of the world because of the lack of trust and weakness of grown ups? Revolution is in the air and very much in Venieri's dynamic work as she leads us to new possibilities of a journey to the center of our follies and potentials.


What's the difference between a patrón (a boss) and a terrorist?
In 2003 there was a terrorist attack in a Bogotá Club called El Nogal in which 36 people died, widely thought to have been perpetrated by the FARC.
Martha Anorocho lost a son in the attack and another son was left brain-damaged.
A couple of weeks ago she came face to face with a demobilized FARC guerrilla called Regis Ortiz, who approached her to ask for her forgiveness, although he was not personally involved in the attack.
They embraced and later Martha said It was the meeting of two human beings who need to move on and who are prepared to have a country without victims.
Six million more hugs like this and we might be getting somewhere.
the congress, the courts, the government and so on, was falling.
Only two institutions enjoyed positive ratings: the Catholic Church and the armed forces.
Q: In what way is Colombian justice like the Rosetta Space Probe?
A: Because it takes ten years to arrive.
It was interesting to see advertising in Medellín featuring Argentinian football star, Lionel Messi, inviting us to visit Buenos Aires, the Argentinian capital.
Interesting because it highlights the increasing mobility and spending power of Colombian's middle and upper classes.
But I thought it was a bit tactless to include in the advertising the fact that Buenos Aires is the host city for the 2018 Summer Youth Olympics.
Medellín AND Glasgow both failed in their bids to host the event.
It was pleasing to see someone reading the life and works of Robert Louis Stevenson, that quintessentially Edinburgh writer, in Spanish, on the Medellín metro.
I wanted to tap the reader on the shoulder and say, He was Scottish, you know.
And no doubt, being Colombian, the person would have thanked me politely and with a smile, and if he thought I was a nutter, it wouldn't have shown on his face.
You may have seen the news that the Colombian peace talks were put on hold after the FARC captured a general, the first time that has happened in 50 years of conflict.
Thankfully it seems that the general and 4 other hostages will be released soon, but a statement by a FARC spokesman caught my attention.
The Minister of Defence needs to explain what the general was doing in a war zone. It's as if one of the FARC delegates to the peace talks in Havana went to the National Park in Bogotá and was arrested.
What I find startling about this is the equivalency that exists in the FARC's mind between the actions of an insurgency group, reviled by the vast majority of the Colombian people, and those of a democratically-elected government.
On Thursday, at the metro station where I change trains, I noticed that the train going the other way had been waiting a long time at the platform, and that our train was sitting at the next station, which you can see up the line.
Then two young policemen came along the track. Carrying torches, they searched along the length of the train.
It's a dog, someone cried. We all craned our necks to see.
It's come out, someone else said.
A minute or two later and we were on our way. But at the next station, some firemen met our train, to look for…what? What was left of the dog?
Last weekend was the annual Miss Colombia competition and if you want a measure of how incredibly seriously it is taken, the winning department, Sucre, on the coast, where we go often, gave its public servants a half-day holiday to celebrate.
I am liking the honest beggar more and more. The other day I saw him hand over part of his breakfast to someone poorer than he is.
And when I mentioned the 9 motorbike accidents the last taxi driver had seen to another taxi driver, he said: I've seen 7 today.


Why should I register for this floral workshop?
- If you're looking to learn something new and play with beautiful flowers for a few hours, then this class is just right for you! I (Morgan) am a former music teacher who actually got started with flowers in a class similar to this one. You never know if you'll discover your next new hobby or even a new career path by trying something out of the ordinary! I am passionate about sharing the joy that flowers have brought me with others and I would love to meet you and teach you about the living art of floral design!
- A LOT! You will learn about each flower and it's function in the arrangement, color theory, mechanics and tools, proper flower care, principles and elements of floral design and more.
- I am also happy to host private workshops or flower parties for baby showers, wedding showers, birthday parties, corporate team building events, etc. Contact me and I'd be glad to chat with you more about a private flower workshop/party!
When are the workshop dates?
- Each class is about 90 minutes long.
Do I need any prior floral design experience in order to attend?
- No! These workshops are actually geared more towards beginners so don't worry if you have no prior floral experience.
- All I require students to "bring" are closed-toe shoes. You don't want to accidentally drop a pair of sharp floral clippers onto your foot and injure yourself or someone else! All other tools and supplies will be taken care of.
I hope this was helpful in answering your workshop questions. I can't wait to meet you at one of our upcoming workshops!

The Creative Age
A blog by Michael Bloomfield, PhD
Creativity Made This World
April 12, 2018 in Culture & History
Creativity is so misunderstood, and one reason is simply the way the word is used in language. My New Oxford Dictionary of English defines 'create' as 'bring (something) into existence,' and often creativity is thought of in this general way too. In other words, to create is to produce, and to produce is to create. So making goods in a factory, erecting a fence or building a house could be thought of as creative in this general sense, as could uttering a sentence, drawing a mathematical formula on a blackboard or walking on wet sand and making footprints as you go. You've done something. You 'created' a reality.
In each case, however, unless the thing being produced is novel or surprising in some fundamental way, this is not creativity. Such things, indeed, are very often the precise opposite of creative in that they are predictable replications of previous productions, usually for a jolly good reason. That mathematical formula has to be accurate or it's wrong; that sentence has to say 'Happy Easter' in that particular context or else it will be confusing or meaningless; and those footprints will resemble one another, as well as most other people's footprints, because you are a human being with human feet (I'm assuming).
Creativity is not merely about production. It's about the production of the unexpected and unpredictable, whether we're talking ideas or material things. The US Patent Office's definition of inventions eligible for certification is that which is "new, useful and non-obvious" and this encapsulates quite well the essence of creativity itself.
That's why childbirth – sometimes described as the ultimate act of creativity – isn't really creative in the sense I and creativity scientists use it. A baby is new. It is useful, for want of a better word. But non-obvious? No. Give birth to a baby unicorn, and now we're talking.
The truth is that creativity is relatively unusual. The vast majority of ideas and objects we see around us are replications of previous ideas. Again, there's a good reason for that. Once a great design for that new mobile phone is finalised and advertised, people want to buy one which reliably delivers the functions promised. If you have a piece of furniture in your house, which I'm betting you do, then you can virtually guarantee that there are others just like it elsewhere. Listen to a song on iTunes and it's exactly the same version of that song by that artist that everyone else is listening to. (Probably Ed Sheeran.)
But. Every single artefact and every single human-generated idea that exists in the world today was, in a sense, once creative. All cultural phenomena are like echoes of moments of creative genius. Sometimes that creative moment was quite recent, but sometimes it was long, long ago. Your iPhone in essence was really and truly creative a decade ago when it was first designed and sold. Your bikini was truly creative in 1946 when Louis Réard launched his garment advertised as "smaller than the smallest swimsuit." And your microwave oven was a creative idea in the mid-1940s when Percy Spencer invented it.
We can go back further. X-rays were a creative advance in the medical world in 1895 when German physicist Wilhelm Röntgen discovered them. The printed word was a creative idea in the mid-15th century when Johannes Gutenberg invented the printing press. Spectacles were a creative idea when they were developed in Italy in 1286.
We can go back further still. The cup, the shoe, the necklace. The work of art. The song. We'll never know who created these things for the first time in history – prehistory, actually – but that mug sitting near your laptop, those slippers on your feet, that gold chain around your neck, that painting on your wall or that song playing on your Bluetooth speaker; once upon a time, in a cultural world far, far away, their first manifestations were brilliant, shocking, wonderful new ideas that blew people away with their ingenuity.
You might say all this is patently obvious. But if that's the case, it's remarkable to think how much people like me who advocate creativity in education and training have had to fight to get its importance recognised. Creativity made every artefact you can see and feel and experience. Understanding that might help it be accorded its rightful status in modern society.

This weekend, the 31th annual Film Independent Spirit Awards will take place which celebrates artist-driven filmmaking and recognizes the finest achievements of today's independent filmmakers. I am once more guest of Piaget and couldn't be anymore excited about it. If you have a look at this post about last year's event, you will understand immediately what I am talking about.
One year ago, the sun and stars were out on a Saturday afternoon at the 30th annual Film Independent Spirit Awards, co-hosted by Piaget for the eighth consecutive year and held on the beach in Santa Monica. The event paid tribute to some of this year's most important films and also attracted the biggest names in Hollywood, including the Swiss brand's international brand ambassador and Best Supporting Female nominee for «A Most Violent Year,» Jessica Chastain, along with Michael Keaton, Julianne Moore, Scarlett Johansson, Cate Blanchett, Matt Bomer, Emma Stone, Patricia Arquette, Ethan Hawke, Oprah Winfrey, Olivia Munn, Miles Teller, Andy Samberg and Emmy Rossum.
I am sure that you are curious how such an award ceremony takes place. So let me walk you through the different steps.
Click here to get all details of me look.
Emma Stone donned a lace Monique Lhuillier dress.
CEO of Piaget Philippe Leopold-Metzger framed by Swiss girls Lauriane Gillieron, Alizée Gaillard and myself.
Before the award ceremony itself takes place, you can enjoy the start of the event in Piaget's VIP lounge. Featuring modern, luxurious details and a grand piano in the center, winners, nominees and friends of the House joined Piaget CEO Philippe Leopold-Metzger for a celebratory glass of champagne and a peak at the High Jewellery Mediterranean Garden collection.
Actor Eric Roberts at the piano inside the lounge.
Piaget was the jeweler and watchmaker of choice for many of the attending stars, including my humble self, who wore stunning earrings from Piaget's Mediterranean Garden collection, along with my Limelight Gala watch and a rose diamond ring.
During the Independent Spirit Awards, you can get really close to the stars and have a chat with them.
I did an interview with Jessica Chastain (if you are interested in reading it, click here please).
Marcia Cross wore a long Piaget Rose sautoir in rose gold.
As the ceremony takes pretty long in general, you are very thankful for food and drinks.
Cate Blanchett won Best Female Lead in 2014 and is nominated again tomorrow for «Carol», in 2015 she was presenting Best Feature which was «Birdman».
In 2015, Best Female Lead was the title for Julianne Moore for her amazing performance in «Still Alice».
Jessica Chastain and Andy Samberg presented the winner of Best Male Lead: Michael Keaton for «Birdman». Patricia Arquette won as Best Supporting Female in «Boyhood».
… which everyone including the hosts of the ceremony, Kristen Bell and Fred Armisen, were using.
But the best about this trip is always to treasure the fun moments with your girlfriends and of course with you, my dear readers. I am so excited being back in my favorite city in the world and for tomorrow's event! Stay tuned!

No. 0018 - Social Media Analytics in Operations and Supply Chain Management: Opportunities, Challenges and Paradoxes/ Kinra, Siekmann & Kotzab
Industrial and academic communities in the field of operations and supply chain management (OSCM) have been paying increasing attention to social media analytics (SMA). However, the disparity of social media has inspired new ways of thinking about how data are produced, organized and analyzed. This chapter addresses how OSCM is affected by this disparity and provides an overview of SMA use, applications and challenges in the domain. A directed content analysis of current, application-oriented research is carried out to review SMA in OSCM from a signaling theory perspective. In particular, we shed light on data sources, opportunities, challenges, paradoxes and current managerial issues and seek to inform research practices and policy in order to advance operations and supply chain management research. The chapter contributes to the understanding of SMA in OSCM by identifying a set of paradoxes and challenges that have not previously been identified in OSCM research. By relating SMA to social media data sources and OSCM activities, it shed light on preferred sources and application scenarios and discusses the imponderables of social media signal processing in OSCM.
No. 0017 - Digital Transformation of Maritime Supply Chains Focusing on Ocean Shipping, Port Management and Hinterland Connection / Haasis & Hapsatou
For many years, shipping companies, terminal operators, port industry actors and logistics service providers have been successfully engaged in innovating their assets, processes and business activities. The best-known key innovation is the introduction of the standardized container. This innovation has been the basis for other innovations such as supply chain management, just-in-time delivery, port integration, ship size development and linked hinterland connections. The business world is abuzz with talk about automation, self-control, cloud logistics, electrification, green processes and dematerialization. However, the most important key innovation now and for the foreseeable future is related to digitalization and digital transformation of business activities. Digital transformation is widely understood as the process of implementing digital technologies and supporting capabilities to create digital business models. In this context, a rethinking of previous approaches to communication, coordination and cooperation between stakeholders along the supply chain is appropriate and necessary. The purpose of the present chapter is to reflect the opportunities and challenges related to this digital transformation, focusing on ocean shipping, port management and hinterland connectivity. This chapter aims to identify and characterize expectations, opportunities and peculiarities of this transformation, and to sketch a picture of the future. Particular attention is given to the influence of digital gaps, cultural differences and the power of data.
No. 0016 - Artificial Intelligence, Surveillance, and Big Data / Karpa, Klarl & Rochlitz
The most important resource to improve technologies in the field of artificial intelligence is data. Two types of policies are crucial in this respect: privacy and data-sharing regulations, and the use of surveillance technologies for policing. Both types of policies vary substantially across countries and political regimes. This chapter examines how authoritarian and democratic political institutions can influence the quality of research in artificial intelligence, and the availability of large-scale datasets to improve and train deep learning algorithms. We focus mainly on the case of China, and find that – ceteris paribus – authoritarian political institutions continue to have a negative effect on innovation. They can, however, have a positive effect on research in deep learning, via the availability of large-scale datasets that have been obtained through government surveillance. We propose a research agenda to study which of the two effects might dominate in a race for leadership in artificial intelligence between countries with different political institutions, such as the United States and China.
No. 0015 - Asset Pricing in Digital Assets / Günther, Glas & Poddig
Digital assets are continually evolving into a "mainstream" asset class. Institutional interest is growing every day, with the market capitalization of digital assets rising in value and importance not only for retail investors, but also for global banks, hedge funds and regulators. This chapter provides an overview for interested readers of how digital assets compare to traditional asset classes, how a blockchain works, and an assessment of whether academic research has uncovered first trading strategies and other relevant findings in this emergent asset class of virtual tokens.
No. 0014 - Machine Learning in Accounting Research / Fieberg, Hesse, Loy & Metko
The authors present a compact overview of machine learning applications in financial accounting and audit research as well as management accounting research. Here, the application of machine learning has the potential to provide novel insights into empirical data and to improve predictive performance. The authors highlight the potential use of deep learning to process unstructured and structured data more efficiently and a greater focus on model interpretability as viable opportunities for future research.
No. 0013 - Social Media Marketing for Equity Crowdfunding: Which Posts Trigger Investment Decisions? / Eisenbeiss, Hartmann & Hornuf
Based on 26,883 investment decisions, this chapter examines the influence of social media marketing on crowd participation in equity crowdfunding. The authors distinguish between different types of informative and persuasive posts on Facebook and Twitter. Informative posts provide investors with information about the crowdfunding campaign; persuasive posts do not, but rather aim to directly influence an investor's decision-making process. The authors find that both types of posts have a positive impact on the number of investments. However, persuasive posts also increase the amount of an investment if they contain a statement about the previous investment success of the campaign and signal the crowd that they are not investing alone.
Nr. 0012 - Digital Dark Nudges / Hornuf & Mangold
Manipulative product and interface designs known as digital "dark nudges" have become a common phenomenon in the digital economy. This chapter investigates the behavioral science background and the main problem areas of such unethical online business practices. We also show the limits of the existing statutory framework for combating digital dark nudges. The chapter concludes by discussing potential private and statutory remedies to address dark nudges in the digital economy.
No. 0011 - Virtual Business Incubators: A Support for Entrepreneurship in Rural Areas? / Freiling, Marquardt & Reit
This chapter examines the lack of entrepreneurial resources for venture development in rural regions and presents a study of how virtual business incubators (VBIs) can fill this gap and support rural entrepreneurial activities. The authors employ a single case study approach in which the empirical data builds on six interviews conducted with rural entrepreneurs and managers of VBIs. The data collection and data analysis follow the grounded theory approach set forth by Charmaz (2014). The main contribution of this research is the application of the VBI concept in the rural entrepreneurship context, with the aim of overcoming the challenges inherent to this context while conserving its benefits.
No. 0010 - Marketing in a Digital World / Klein, Eisenbeiss, Dulle, Taherparvar, Wiemann, Wiezorrek
Over the course of digitization, many innovative marketing technologies have emerged that – theoretically speaking – promise firms gains in efficiency and/or effectiveness. However, a central task for marketing is not to allow the use of these technologies to become an end in itself, but to preserve the guiding principle of marketing, namely customer orientation. This means that the new technologies only offer added value for firms if they also offer (perceived) added value for consumers. Using three specific application areas as examples (chatbots, voice assistants and data privacy management), we show how firms can combine innovative marketing technologies and consumer interests in a purposeful manner.
Nr. 0009 - HumanRoboLab: Experiments with Chatbots in Management Education at Universities / Pijetlovic & Müller-Christ
Digital dialogue systems, known as "chatbots," are an application sub-area in automation which is increasingly used in both work and business contexts. The growing use, functionality and benefits of chatbots are therefore also of interest for university teaching in economics. Students at the University of Bremen's Department of Economics are developing their own transdisciplinary chatbot project. Working together with partners from different companies within the framework of the HumanRoboLab (HRL), they explore human–machine interaction from an applicationoriented perspective. The main objective of the HRL is to test a didactic concept for transdisciplinary human–machine interaction projects in order to subsequently integrate this concept into business studies and business psychology degree programs. The purpose of such a module is to provide students without prior experience in programming with the knowledge, tools and competences to research, apply and question AI technologies in a self-effective manner; in other words, the HRL aims to help students develop expertise with regard to digitization, benefiting them in both social and economic contexts. The concept of the HRL, as well as some examples of the projects and the role of AI, are outlined in this chapter in order to provide a template for university teachers who might wish to adapt these concepts.
No. 0008 - Human Resource Management in a Digital Environment / Hagemann & Klug
This chapter provides an overview of important topics in human resource management (HRM) that are affected by digitalization and automation. It is outlined how work in HRM is changing in areas such as mental health at work, work design, leadership and personnel development. The last section shifts focus and introduces a new way of working in HRM, known as HR analytics or people analytics. The fact that the various topics are not independent of each other and indeed intersect with each other is illuminated in the individual sections.
No. 0007 - Hourly Wages in Crowdworking: A Meta-Analysis / Hornuf & Vrankar
In the past decade, crowdworking on online labor market platforms has become the main source of income for a growing number of people worldwide. This development has led to increasing political and scientific interest in the wages that people can earn on such platforms. In this article, we extend the literature based on a single platform, region, or category of crowdworking by conducting a meta-analysis of the prevalent hourly wages. After a systematic and rigorous literature search, we consider 20 primary empirical studies, including 104 wages and 76,282 data points from 22 platforms, eight different countries, and a time span of 12 years. We find that, on average, microwork results in an hourly wage of less than $6. This wage is significantly lower than the mean wage of online freelancers, which is roughly three times higher. We find that hourly wages accounting for unpaid work, such as searching for tasks and communicating with requesters, tend to be significantly lower than wages not considering unpaid work. Legislators and researchers evaluating wages in crowdworking should be aware of this bias when assessing hourly wages, given that the majority of the literature does not account for the effect of unpaid work time on crowdworking wages. To foster the comparability of different research results, we suggest that scholars consider a wage malus to account for unpaid work. Finally, we find that hourly wages collected through surveys tend to be lower than wages collected via browser plugins or other technical data collection methods.
No. 0006 - Lock-In Effects in Online Labor Markets / Ciotti, Hornuf & Stenzhorn
This article reports on an investigation of the role of lock-in exploitation and the impact of reputation portability on workers' switching behaviors in online labor markets. Online platforms using reputation mechanisms typically prevent users from transferring their ratings to other platforms, inducing lock-in effects and high switching costs and leaving users vulnerable to platform exploitation. With a theoretical model, in which workers in online labor markets are locked-in by their reputational data, we test the effects using an online lab-in-the-field decision experiment. In addition to comparing a policy regime with and without reputation portability, we vary lock-in exploitation using platform fees to consider how switching behavior might differ according to monetary motives and fairness preferences. Theoretically, this study reveals how reputational investments can produce switching costs that platforms can exploit. Experimentally, the results suggest that reputation portability mitigates lock-in effects, making users less susceptible to lock-in exploitation. The data further show that switching is driven primarily by monetary motives, but perceiving the fee as unfair also has a significant role.
No. 0005 - Do retail investors value environmental impact? A lab-in-the-field experiment with crowdfunders / Siemroth & Hornuf
Are investors willing to give up a higher return if the investment generates positive environmental impact? We investigate this question with a decision experiment among crowdfunders, where they choose between a higher return or environmental impact. Overall, 65% of investors choose environmental impact at the expense of a higher return for sufficiently large impact, 14% choose impact independent of the magnitude of impact, while 21% choose the higher return independent of impact. Combining the experimental data with historical investments, we find that investors allocate a larger share of funds to green projects if they value environmental impact more, and if they expect green projects to be more profitable. These findings suggest that investors have a preference for positive environmental impact, and satisfy it by investing in green projects. We further show that the preference for environmental impact is distinct from a preference for positive social impact. Finally, we introduce new survey measures of impact for future use, which are experimentally validated and predict field behavior.
No. 0004 - The impact of fintech startups on financial institutions' performance and default risk / Haddad & Hornuf
We study the impact fintech startups have on the performance and the default risk of traditional financial institutions. We find a positive relationship between fintech startup formations and incumbent institutions' performance for the period from 2005 to 2018 and a large sample of financial institutions from 87 countries. We further analyze the link between fintech startup formations and the default risk of traditional financial institutions. Fintech startup formations decreases stock return volatility of incumbent institutions and decreases the systemic risk exposure of financial institutions. Our findings indicate that the development of fintech startups should be monitored very closely by legislators and financial supervisory authorities, because fintechs not only have a positive effect on the financial sector's performance, but can also improve financial stability relative to the status quo.
No. 0003 - How Community Managers Affect Online Idea Crowdsourcing Activities / Hornuf & Jeworrek
In this study, we investigate whether and to what extent community managers in online collaborative communities can stimulate community activities through their engagement. Using a novel data set of 22 large online idea crowdsourcing campaigns, we find that moderate but steady manager activities are adequate to enhance community participation. Moreover, we show that appreciation, motivation, and intellectual stimulation by managers are positively associated with community participation but that the effectiveness of these communication strategies depends on the form of participation community managers want to encourage. Finally, the data reveal that community manager activities requiring more effort, such as media file uploads (vs. simple written comments), have a stronger effect on community participation.
No. 0002 - The Social Dilemma of Big Data: Donating Personal Data to Promote Social Welfare / Hillebrand & Hornuf
When using digital devices and services, individuals provide their personal data to organizations in exchange for gains in various domains of life. Organizations use these data to run technologies such as smart assistants, augmented reality, and robotics. Most often, these organizations seek to make a profit. Individuals can, however, also provide personal data to public databases that enable nonprofit organizations to promote social welfare if sufficient data are contributed. Regulators have therefore called for efficient ways to help the public collectively benefit from its own data. By implementing an online experiment among 1,696 US citizens, we find that individuals would donate their data even when at risk of getting leaked. The willingness to provide personal data depends on the risk level of a data leak but not on a realistic impact of the data on social welfare. Individuals are less willing to donate their data to the private industry than to academia or the government. Finally, individuals are not sensitive to whether the data are processed by a humansupervised or a self-learning smart assistant.
No. 0001 - Initial Coin Offerings, Information Disclosure, and Fraud / Hornuf, Kück & Schwienbacher
We study the extent of fraud in initial coin offerings (ICOs), and whether information disclosure prior to the issuance predicts fraud. We document different types of fraud, and that fraudulent ICOs are on average much larger than the sample average. Issuers that disclose their code on GitHub are more likely to be targeted by phishing and hacker activities, which suggests that there are risks related to disclosing the code. Generally, we find it extremely difficult to predict fraud with the information available at the time of issuance. This calls for the need to install a thirdparty that certifies the quality of the issuers, such as specialized platforms, or the engagement of institutional investors and venture capital funds that can perform a due diligence and thus verify the quality of the project.

The television vulture is watching for the latest cancellation and renewal news, so this page is a dedicated place to track the status of season The Exorcist season two. Bookmark it, or subscribe for the latest updates. Remember, the television vulture is watching your shows. Are you?
What's This TV Show About?
Airing on the FOX television network, this new TV series is a sequel to the William Peter Blatty novel and 1973 feature film of the same name. The Exorcist follows two priests. While ambitious, Chicagoland parish priest Father Tomas Ortega (Alfonso Herrera) is also progressive and compassionate. On the other hand, the obsessive and abrasive Father Marcus Keane (Ben Daniels) — an orphan who grew up in the Vatican — is relentless concerning his mission. Meanwhile, the Rance family finds itself caught between the two, in a horrifying case of demonic possession. The series also stars Kurt Egyiawan, Geena Davis, Alan Ruck, Brianne Howey, and Hannah Kasulka.
Season One Ratings
While The Exorcist series premiere earned a 0.93 in the important 18-49 year old viewer demographic and drew 2.85 million viewers, the ratings quickly went south, from there. Overall, the first season of The Exorcist averaged a 0.68 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 1.91 million viewers. Find out how The Exorcist stacks up against the other FOX TV shows.

Telly's Take
The Exorcist is one of FOX's lowest rated TV series. In the show's second week, the ratings dropped more than 34% in the key demo and over 30% in terms of audience size. The freshman psychological horror drama never rebounded. While creator Jeremy Slater has plans for season two, it seems unlikely he will get a chance to put them into action.
5/12 update: Despite low ratings, FOX renewed The Exorcist for season two. Details here.

ReneCat
Uh…..guys…..FOX renewed The Exorcist for season 2 in May.
Please!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love it. continue !
Please don't cancel The Exorcist!! This show is great horror at its best! Waiting for Season 2!!
I really don't want them to cancel the Exorcist. There are no shows out there that get me that excited to watch. I actually yelled at the TV a few times during the show. Out of excitement for what was happening next. It just needs to be moved to a different day of the week. A lot more people would get hooked on it like I did.


For being a writer I sure don't write very much on my blog! I guess I'm always busy working on my projects. I have lots going on. For something new, my daughter and I are working on an e-book. It's about why some flowers close at night. You're going to love the illustrations! They are by my very talented daughter, Laura. To see some of her art go to her web site at Laura Mae Love. She's a graduate of the Seattle Art Institute in Computer Animation and Design. She is very talented! Did I say that already? Well, she is. Anyway, we're thinking of putting it up on Kindle. Don't know yet, but when it's up and ready to read I'll let you know on this web site.
If you want to see some of Laura's other work, check out the book trailer she made for my book, "The Totally Out There Guide to Glacier National Park." To see the book trailer video go to You Tube and type in the title of the book (Yes, I know it is a long title, but we like it.) or on this site click on the menu "Donna Love Books" and scroll down to the book, The Totally Out There Guide to Glacier National Park." The video should start playing the moment you scroll to it. Laura wrote the text, read and recorded the text, wrote the music and performed and recorded the music. She also did all the art work for the video, using photos and illustrations from the book. She is really fabulous.
Another of my new projects is an e-book about ospreys that I'm working on in collaboration with Dunrovin Ranch in Lolo, Montana. They have an osprey nest with a web cam. They are very environmentally concerned folks and they hope kids and folks of all ages can learn more about ospreys by visiting their site. Check them out at Dunrovin Ranch Montana and be sure to visit back soon to see what great things we've cooked up to make it fun to learn about ospreys!
