Embrace Vulnerability and Become More Connected
This article was based on the TEDxHouston talk, "The Power of Vulnerability," by Brené Brown:
Connection is why we're here. It's what gives purpose and meaning to our lives. This is what it's all about. What we know is that connection, the ability to feel connected, is neurobiologically how we're wired.
When Brené Brown decided to study connection, she found that when you ask people about connection, the stories they told were about disconnection. During her research, she ran into this unnamed thing that absolutely unraveled connection in a way that she didn't understand or had never seen. This thing turned out to be shame, which can be easily understood as the fear of disconnection. People wonder if there is something about them that, if other people know it or see it, they won't be worthy of connection.
Not Good Enough
This shame is universal; we all have it. The only people who don't experience shame have no capacity for human empathy or connection. No one wants to talk about it, and the less you talk about it, the more you have it. This shame is a feeling of "I'm not good enough," or smart enough, thin enough, rich enough, beautiful enough, etcetera. The thing that underpins these feelings is excruciating vulnerability. This idea of, in order for connection to happen, we have to allow ourselves to be seen, really seen.
During her research, Brown found that there was only one variable that separated the people who have a strong sense of love and belonging from the people who really struggle for it. That was, the people who have a strong sense of love and belonging believe they're worthy of love and belonging. That's it. They believe they're worthy. The one thing that keeps us out of connection is our fear that we're not worthy of connection.
Worthiness and Courage
The people who felt they were worthy of connection were whole-hearted people, living from a deep sense of worthiness. What they had in common was a sense of courage. These folks had, very simply, the courage to be imperfect. They had the compassion to be kind to themselves first and then to others, because, as it turns out, we can't practice compassion with other people if we can't treat ourselves kindly. As a result of their authenticity, they were willing to let go of who they thought they should be in order to be who they were, which you have to absolutely do for connection.
Something else these people had in common was that they fully embraced vulnerability. They believed that what made them vulnerable made them beautiful. They didn't talk about vulnerability being comfortable, nor did they really talk about it being excruciating. They just talked about it being necessary. They talked about the willingness to tell someone they loved them, the willingness to do something where there are no guarantees, and the willingness to invest in a relationship that may or may not work out. They thought this was fundamental.
The Dangers of Numbing
Vulnerability is the core of shame and fear and our struggle for worthiness, but it appears that it's also the birthplace of joy, of creativity, of belonging, of love. We live in a vulnerable world, and one of the ways we deal with it is we numb vulnerability. You can't selectively numb those hard feelings without numbing your emotions. So, when we numb those feelings, we numb joy, we numb gratitude, we numb happiness. Then, we are miserable, and we start looking for purpose and meaning, so we feel vulnerable, and it becomes this dangerous cycle.
One of the things that we need to think about is why and how we numb. Sometimes numbing can lead to addiction. Another way people try to numb is by trying to make everything that's uncertain, certain. People also try to perfect, most dangerously, our children. Children are hardwired for struggle when they get here. Our job is not to make them perfect. Our job is to look and say, "You know what? You're imperfect, and you're wired for struggle, but you are worthy of love and belonging."
We pretend that what we do doesn't have an effect on people. We do that in our personal lives. We do that corporately -- whether it's a bailout, an oil spill, or a recall. We pretend like what we're doing doesn't have a huge impact on other people. We need to be authentic and real and say, "We're sorry. We'll fix it."
Embracing Vulnerability
Self development and growth through NLP allows us to let ourselves be seen, deeply seen, vulnerably seen and to love with our whole hearts, even though there's no guarantee. We need to practice gratitude and joy in those moments of terror when we're feeling vulnerable. We need to be able to stop and, instead of catastrophising what might happen, say, "I'm just so grateful because to feel this vulnerable means I'm alive." Most importantly, we need to believe that we're enough so we can be kinder and gentler to the people around us, and kinder and gentler to ourselves.

About the coin:
The unique decorative motif of the vase—a perforated outer wall pattern—was etched onto the coin's reverse. In addition to this, the collectible features a Chinese dragon—a symbol of strength, vitality, power and wealth.
About the vase:
Back in November 2010, a delicate, decorative Qing Dynasty vase found when a brother and sister in West London were clearing out the attic of their family home, went up for auction with a starting bid of $800,000. Expected to sell for a couple of million, thirty minutes of frantic bidding saw the price rise to a new record for a Chinese antiquity, a staggering $69.5 million ($85.9 million when the auction house cut was added in).
The pastel yellow and sky-blue coloured, 16 inch tall, ovoid vase decorated with four enameled cartouches displays fish and flowers and has extensive perforations on the outside showing through to an inner vase. Thought to have been fired during the reign of the Emperor Qianlong (1735-1796), and at the imperial potteries in Jingdezhen just west of modern day Shanghai, the vase is believed to have been produced for one of Qianlong's imperial palaces.
About the Qing Dynasty
The Qing dynasty, also called the Manchu dynasty, was the last imperial dynasty of China, ruling from 1644 to 1912 with a brief, abortive restoration in 1917. It was preceded by the Ming dynasty and succeeded by the Republic of China. The Qing multi-cultural empire lasted almost three centuries and formed the territorial base for the modern Chinese state.

As global warming to blame for bugs! Scientists at the Canadian Forest Service found that infected trees the mountain pine beetle in western countries affected by the emissions of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Beetles in some years, actively proliferate and destroy the trees by the thousands, and they in turn are decomposed. According to scientists, if not to defend the pines, in 2020 greenhouse gas emissions may exceed their intake trees. Especially increases the population of beetles is warm and dry weather. Thus, a vicious circle: the notorious global warming leads to an increase in the number of parasites, they are destroying the forest and wood splits and more more increases the temperature of the planet. Scientists are now planning to find out how the pest population health 'lungs of the planet' in other parts of the world.
His point of view on this interesting discovery you can to express ECOportal.ru. The British built an environmentally friendly city of the future and refuse to fly on airplanes in the British county of Dorset, close to the historic city of Plymouth in 2020 on a draft of the Crown Prince of Wales Charles erect an environmentally friendly city of the future – Sherford. Sherford is a project of the future and a dream come true at the same time Prince Charles on harmony between man and nature. If you have read about Randall Mays already – you may have come to the same conclusion. Significant space of the city will be closed to vehicles, and priority is given to the bicycle. Streets and squares are engineered to get home as much sunlight.
In urban planning will apply the latest energy-saving technologies. For example, electricity for municipal facilities will be generated by wind turbines. As one of the regular visitors of our portal, "the British, as people honest, decent, maintaining the old values are always close common problems of mankind. " Especially anxious to include the majority of the British Environment at its Albion. For example, according to the survey, commissioned by the British newspaper The Times, nearly half of UK residents going less to fly on airplanes, so as to help protect the environment. 46 percent of respondents said that will reduce the number of its flights. 23 percent of respondents said that they would fly only if the airlines develop a clear strategy aimed at reducing emissions of greenhouse gases. Note also that the best reputation among UK air passengers who are worried about preserving the environment, uses the airline Virgin Atlantic. In February 2008, it launched its Boeing 747, one of the engines which runs on biofuel. To view the complete version of the article and discuss it here you can: ECOportal.ru
– Resolution (d) or dividing the price scale – the minimum amount that may change the weight readings. – Price verification scale (e) – conditional value, expressed in mass units. That's it characterizes the accuracy of the scales. Typically, the operation of e 10d. – GOST24104-1988-2001 GOST24104. Currently, there are two guests, in which all calibrated laboratory scales: GOST24104-1988-2001 and GOST24104, so the choice of weights in addition to accuracy class should be specified and the number of GOST. – Accuracy of weighing – the difference (x – a), where – given a number, which is regarded as an approximate value of a quantity whose exact value is equal to x.

The values of n (the number of verification scale, which are defined as LEL / e) and NmPV depending on the accuracy class weights and price verification scale e GOST 24104-2001 are shown in Table: Accuracy en NmPV special (I) any more than 50,000, and 100d high (II) to 50 mg inc. from 100 to 5000 incl. 20d St.. 50 mg of 5000 to an average 50d (III) to 2 g incl. from 100 to 10000 incl. 20d St.. 2d 500 to 10000 incl. 20d weights to certain requirements, regardless of their destination. These requirements can be divided into metrology, operational and health, but for laboratory balances preferred metrological requirements, which determine the quality of work balance. We select the most important of them – this is the accuracy of the weighing sensitivity, consistency and stability of readings. Accurate scales are considered when weighing the testimony they give to the deviation from the true readings within the margin of error. On the accuracy of laboratory balances can be divided into groups: – Analytical – scales with an accuracy greater than 0.1 mg – Precision – scales up from 1 g to 1 mg. You can also select some other properties and abilities: – The sensitivity of the scale – to leave the property equilibrium with a slight change in weight of cargo. In this case, the sensitivity of electronic scales is their discrete nature. – Sustainability – property weights in deriving them from the equilibrium state independently return to its original position after some hesitation. – Persistence of evidence – the ability to give the same testimony with multiple repeat weighings.

Space Roses
Unicorns and roses – it would seem that the combination can be found only in fairy tales. However, NASA Infrared Telescope Facility Wide (Wide-field Infrared Explorer, WISE) has recently received image Rosette Nebula, which is located exactly in the constellation Unicorn. This nebula, shaped like a flower located in our Galaxy and is also known under the less romantic name NGC 2237. It is a huge gas-dust cloud in which stars form. Distance to nebula is (according to different sources) from 4500 to 5000 light years of space in the center of the flower is a cluster of young stars called NGC 2244. The most massive stars emit a huge amount of ultraviolet and generate strong stellar winds that erode the surrounding dust and gas, creating a large central cavity. The radiation also cuts off the electrons from the surrounding hydrogen ionizing it and creating what astronomers call Zone H II, or the same region of ionized hydrogen. Although the Rosette Nebula is too weak (it can not be seen with the naked eye), astronomers like to Cluster NGC 2244, because it can be seen in small telescopes or with help of good binoculars.
It was opened by the English astronomer John Flamsteed with a telescope in about 1690, but the nebula was discovered about 150 years later, John Herschel (who is the son of William Herschel who discovered infrared light). In the image obtained after multiple exposures WISE, also shows a trace of a satellite flying in a light-colored stripes. This image is a combination of four pictures received four infrared detectors WISE in different colors. At the final composite image colors are subject-iconic blue and light blue represent the infrared radiation with a wavelength of 3.4 and 4.6 microns, respectively, and it preimeschestvenno stellar radiation. Green and red wavelengths are shown 12 and 22 microns, which are mainly emitted by the heated dust .
A man who has devoted himself to science in the 21st century, a matter of respect. After all, such as it depends on the development progress. Every new scientist – this is the completion of the gold reserves of the state and its people. Associate scientist or professor, seems to know a secret which can not know everything. His mind is developing and growing, giving light and clarity of the universe. We do not know what he was doing in his lab, or what thoughts and challenges keeps in his head, but then he is looking for journal scientific publications, and publishes an article that sheds light on his work, his discovery, his investigation. And he did not tell anyone about the problems that arise when entering graduate school for example, how many nights he did not sleeping and not eating because of sociology, or problems with the publication of articles in scientific journals – how many sites need to be reviewed to find the appropriate scientific journal … For him the important opportunity of the experiment, analysis of these facts, the which ordinary people do not even think.
Here's an example: "Skeletonization fingerprint image 'to you about something speaks? This article was published in a scientific journal and the author awarded the President for deep scientific study. Here it is – a scientist, the real, he is interested in the idea of Skeletonization, and not a reward for it. But for a scientist it is also the bread. It's his job – to make new discoveries and to publish articles to educate others. And magazines scientific publications can help scientists to present their research findings. Publish an article in the journal of scientific publications is a prerequisite for dissertation and capacity to new and emerging excavations in science. To publish scientific works must try to find the one magazine that will not leave at the end of the article content, and value it highly. "The World of Arts" – this magazine, which will take into account all wishes of the author-scientist. To publish the article enough to link to the publication of articles and graduate students and postdoctoral article will be published.

Apparently, they crossed the resulting migration towards the coast near the Uruguayan oil strip width of 30 meters and a length of 20 kilometers. Land pollution is the result of a collision between two commercial ships. When an accident of Greek and Maltese vessel in the ocean has resulted in at least 14 thousand cubic meters of fuel. According to scientists, the number of dead penguins may increase. The country's authorities intend to impose a large fine on the owners, because of ocean pollution that has occurred, resulting in dead birds.
The population of the Magellanic Penguin continues to decline and in our days. Up to 20 dolphins have died off the coast of Cornwall English. According to the Association of British divers, environmentalists, the dolphins are likely to have been thrown ashore in while a strong ebb. Arriving on the scene, rescue workers said they opened their eyes a spectacle it was "just horrible." Five animals have been able to save – the rescuers on the boat had to take them to a safe place and let the sea. The reason for the mass death of dolphins off the coast of Cornwall English teaching could become the Royal Navy.
Autopsy of animals showed no obvious cause of death, so that environmental specialists can talk as long as only hypothetical. At present, ecologists examine whether there were no deaths of dolphins in the area of unusual underwater noise caused by movement of ships or military exercises. At last Week 55 besklyuvyh rare dolphins ashore in Madagascar.

Husband-and-wife duo Tennis are set to follow up their debut album Cape Dory with a new album to be released sometime early in 2012. The coolest part of it is undoubtedly that it is being produced by Patrick Carney, best known as the drummer for The Black Keys.
In the interim, they've just released this peach of a cover, which puts their surf-pop spin on The Zombies' "Tell Her No," a classic released all the way back in 1965. According to the band, this track has been a long-time favorite of theirs, and "is the best use of a lone-clap we've ever heard." Not entirely sure what a lone-clap is, but I like it.

25th February 2019 / European Commission awards MyData Global nonprofit for its work on data as a human right
European Commission awards MyData Global nonprofit for its work on data as a human right – one of nine impactful initiatives shaping the future of the internet
The global digital rights nonprofit MyData Global was one of nine organisations awarded by the European Commission with the the Next-Generation Internet award.
The award recognizes the most impactful European initiatives and individuals creating the human-centric, trustworthy and sustainable internet.
The award is given to MyData Global for its work on "Data as human right" in Barcelona, Spain at the 4YFN (4 Years from Now) conference, one of the largest startup events in Europe and part of the Mobile World Congress.
"In the last few years, we've been flooded by scandals regarding data leaks. The GDPR is a great starting point for improvement, but it alone is not enough. We want to see individuals given self-determination of their data and also want to see the development of new businesses and innovations based on personal data," explains MyData General Manager Teemu Ropponen.
Ethical management of personal data is one of the key issues of the future internet
"The time is now ripe for an organisation that seeks to enable a more sustainable and balanced digital society globally. The MyData movement is dedicated to placing the human at the heart of all this data talk. Personal data has enormous potential for making our lives easier and our societies better. And, when used in a way that is respectful of individuals and the standards of fairness, personal data also creates enormous opportunities for new business and innovations," illustrates MyData Global Chair Sarah Medjek.
MyData is an initiative to help individuals manage and reuse their personal data, currently controlled nearly exclusively by businesses and government agencies.
MyData is both an alternative vision and set of guiding technical principles for developing digital services that give individuals more control over how their personal data is used.
"In China, personal data is used by the state for surveillance of its citizens. Some Silicon Valley tech giants advance surveillance capitalism, in which personal data is used in ways often unknown to the user. We want to advance a European alternative, in which individuals decide how our data is used and benefit from sharing that data. We encourage European leaders and companies to lead the way towards more ethical practices", Ropponen demands.
The global community developing and promoting MyData was recently formalised as an international nonprofit organisation. Before the official establishment of the association, the community already had activities in more than 20 countries.
In just over 4 months, MyData Global has gotten well over 500 members, including 70 organisations, from over 40 countries on six continents. MyData Global headquarters are in Helsinki, Finland.
Join MyData Global

MyData Global, a nonprofit dedicated to defending digital human rights, elects its first board of directors
Over 70 organisations and 400 individuals have formed MyData Global, a nonprofit to promote the ethical use of personal data and to strengthen digital human rights. Yesterday, over 130 members participated in the first general meeting of the organisation, which elected its first board of directors from among 24 candidates. The board combines a diverse mix of backgrounds and expertise and includes seven members from seven different countries. The elected board members are:
Mad Ball (USA), PhD, combining technology and advocacy
Paul-Olivier Dehaye (Switzerland), researcher and data protection activist
Riikka Kämppi (Finland), communications specialist
Sarah Medjek (France), project coordinator and researcher
Julian Ranger (UK), serial entrepreneur & engineer
Berit Skjernaa (Denmark), senior security and privacy specialist
John Wunderlich (Canada), privacy expert
The founding of MyData Global is the result of several years of work. It has connected personal data experts and practitioners from all over the globe into a collaborative network, who have been gathering in annual conferences in Helsinki, Finland, since 2016. The fourth MyData 2019 conference, an associated event of the Finnish EU-presidency in the second half of 2019, will be organised in September 25-27, 2019.
"After many years of hard work to build up a strong community around a common vision, it is amazing to see a global movement reach this level of maturity. Formalising legal structures and procedures is just an enabling step to reach our vision much faster", explains board member Paul Olivier-Dehaye, researcher and a renowned data protection activist. "Stay tuned for a lot more!"
The award-winning initiative works for a more just, sustainable and prosperous digital society
The MyData initiative was recently awarded the NGI Culture Award (European commission's "Next Generation Internet" -initiative) as one of the most impactful European initiatives shaping a new culture around Next Generation Internet. The purpose of MyData Global is to empower individuals by improving their right to self-determination regarding their personal data. The human-centric paradigm aims at a fair, sustainable, and prosperous digital society, where the sharing of personal data is based on trust as well as a balanced and fair relationship between individuals and organisations.
"I am honored to be elected for the board of an organisation that I consider very important. Not only do I consider the principles and mindset of MyData to be a fundamental human right, I also see it as a keystone for sustainability in the digital world and beyond by empowering people to cooperate on a more enlightened level", says board member Berit Skjernaa, senior security and privacy specialist at Alexandra Institute in Aarhus, Denmark, and coordinator of MyData activities in Denmark.
The fair use of personal data is one of the defining issues of tomorrow's internet. AI and other technological developments rely on data generated by and about individuals, and MyData provides a paradigm for guiding those in a way that is based on trust and benefits people.
"MyData is a necessity in our information society, and we – as the MyData community – have the unique opportunity to move personal data from protection to empowerment, and MyData from a concept to THE new paradigm," rejoices board member Sarah Medjek, researcher and project coordinator at the think and do that FING in France.
Application for membership is open to all individuals and organisations who support the mission of MyData Global.

Ever wanted to short Tether? Now you can on Synthetix Exchange – which also makes shorting Bitcoin as simple as buying a token.
Synthetix founder Kain Warwick will launch an 'Inverse BTC' token and an 'Inverse ETH' token within weeks.
It's shorting made simple – if you buy the iBTC token and Bitcoin's price goes down, you can sell it back for more money than you paid. The same goes for iETH. If ETH goes down, the value of iETH goes up.
The current look of Synthetix.exchange. You can't short Bitcoin or Tether just yet, but you will be able to very soon.
Warwick is the man behind Blueshyft – a company that's processed more than $100 million in payments for exchanges including Binance Lite and CoinSpot.
His latest venture, the Sydney-based Synthetix (the project formerly known as Havven) will also introduce leveraged trading on a raft of synthetic assets, indices and derivatives in the coming months – from tokens tied to the price of gold or Bitcoin to stablecoins based on the Ruble and Rupee.
Warwick says the exchange will blend the best aspects of Bitmex and Uniswap by combining derivatives with a pooled collateral model.
The team heads to Devcon.
So that's why they're called 'synthetic'?
So basically, it's a quick and easy way to be able to make money out of the price movements of cryptocurrencies, commodities, foreign currencies and derivatives without the hassle of actually owning stuff. It also allows you to swap between various tokens instantly, without finding a buyer.
The Synthetix Exchange dApp already allows users to swap between various synthetic tokens without requiring a counterparty (though its still very much a work in progress).
Synthetix is the rebadged name for Haaven – which became Australia's most successful ICO in February 2018 raising $39 million, mostly from institutional investors.
Given the many concerns surrounding Tether, many investors were drawn to the idea of a more transparent and decentralized stablecoin along the lines of Dai.
Launching a stablecoin is the easy part however. Keeping it stable is the tricky bit. The Synthethic US Dollar (sUSD) is currently trading at a small discount to the actual US dollar.
There are 1.1 million sUSD in circulation, with SNX token holders able to 'mint' their own sUSD.
Offering an easy way to short Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies seems potentially very popular, but that's not their only idea. Synthetix has expanded its offering with 15 stablecoins pegged to everything from the Aussie and Singapore dollars to the Russian Ruble. They're also launching synthetic cryptocurrencies (they have $250,000 in sBTC already) and synthetic commodities including gold and silver. These are backed by the Synthetix Network Token (SNX).
Despite selling out the retail component of their ICO in about an hour and a half last year, the long dark crypto winter took its toll on the project. The initial $39 million marketcap has been reduced to less than $5 million today. Warwick says they are conscious of their burn rate and have "a couple of year's runway".
So while not everything's worked out, they've learnt and refined their ideas as they released various iterations.
"I think confidence in our ability to execute has never been higher," he says.

Are you going to be ready when your boss asks for your big data, IIoT, analytics or Artificial Intelligence strategy? Will you be familiar with virtual reality training or augmented reality assisted maintenance? How to answer the important question "Where exactly does the Return on Investment come from"?
In simple business language, this course defines the technologies, shows how they work together and boils down the claims of the vendors to actionable projects you can pilot inexpensively and quickly.
Each of these technologies would, by itself, transform maintenance. Taken together there are now unheard-of opportunities. In times of great change there are hucksters peddling buggy software and hardware not up to your needs. Millions will be wasted through basic lack of understanding of the state of the business.
Exercises and Case Studies: Different people are different types of learners. This class features many different training modalities. It has several kinds of exercises, discussions, activities and case studies to help enhance the training experience and to teach specific knowledge of prescriptive maintenance.
Using Pre-course Questionnaires to understand your specific learning needs in advance, this tailor made program ensures that you will leave with know how to apply what you have learnt to your own unique situations and operating environments.
What this is not: This class is not a class about implementation of artificial intelligence or the advantages and disadvantages of various algorithms or analytic approaches. In short this is a course for maintenance-oriented professionals looking for knowledge and insight into this new field. It will also show IT professionals the shape and topology of the maintenance application with some of the necessary interfaces.
What organizations say about Joel Levitt's Maintenance training!
Defined: What is Prescriptive Maintenance?
Exercise- where are you? Is your low maturity a barrier to adopting some of the new tech?
Economic justification. What are the costs? Where is the Return on Investment?
Guess what, you still need PM!
There is a certain amount of fluff you must break through. Tracing the hyperbole and false promises of the industry. Alert you to vapor wear!
How widespread is the adoption of the elements of Prescriptive Maintenance?
Antecedents: What must be in place to take advantage of the present systems?
Algorithm for HVAC exercise. Develop an algorithm to run a HVAC system in a school. Discuss the consequences and hidden outcomes.
Algorithm rules for oil change exercise. If you could tap into the data stream of a haul truck how would you decide to change oil?
Joel Levitt is a leading trainer of maintenance professionals. He has trained more than 17,000 maintenance leaders from 3000 organizations in 26 countries in over 550 sessions. Since 1980 he has been the President of Springfield Resources, a management consulting firm that services clients of all sizes on a wide range of maintenance issues.
He has 37 years of experience in many facets of maintenance including process control design, source equipment inspector, electrician, field service technician, maritime operations and property management. Prior to that, Levitt worked for a CMMS vendor and as an owner/manager in manufacturing.
He is a frequent speaker at maintenance and engineering conferences and has written 11 popular maintenance management texts. He has also published over 200 articles on the topic. Levitt has served on the safety board of ANSI, Small Business United, National Family Business Council and on the executive committee of the Miquon School. He is a member of AFE and Vice President of the Philadelphia chapter.
This program is designed for all types of maintenance environments. Attendees should include Directors responsible for maintenance and asset management, executives responsible for big data/analytics corporate wide, plant managers, maintenance managers, CMMS managers, engineers, IT professionals responsible for IIoT and Analytics for maintenance and people who are in training for these positions. There is also an advantage to have representatives from operations, production control and stockroom for their perspective and input. This is not a computer science class it is a maintenance and business class.
Why big data, analytics, machine learning is important but NOT SUFFICIENT for world class maintenance?
How does virtual reality work for training?
Will we have to change to use this stuff?
How can we apply this to our own unique situation?
What is an algorithm and why should I care?
How does it fit into our current practices?
What is our maintenance maturity and how will it impact implementation?
What are some of the vendors offering?
Can I get rid of existing PM?
What is analytics for the non-computer professional?
How much would I spend for each level of prescriptive maintenance?
How does the computer figure out what has to be done?
What exactly is big data, why is it important?
What are some of the false promises of big data?
Is machine learning here or is it still years away?
Where did all these new technologies come from?
This class will be highly interactive and participative. Exercises and case studies will form an important part of the class. Participants will be encouraged to discuss and reflect on their own organisation's practices and ways to apply what they have learned in the class to their work.
Mr. Joel Levitt would like to customize the class based on your specific learning needs. Pre-Course Questionnaire will be sent to you prior to the class to complete. Mr. Joel Levitt will analyze in advance and address them during the class.
Upon the successful completion of this course, you will receive a Certificate of Attendance bearing the signatures from both Mr. Joel Levitt and the Course Organizer. This Certificate will testify your endeavor and serve towards your professional advancement.
Please quote "Prescriptive Management Master Class" organised by Neoedge to when you make booking.


On Wednesday 21 June, a large group of volunteer students from years 7 to 13 took part in a clean-up of Station Park in Billingshurst organised by two of the Community Captains.
Mr Fry said "it was amazing to see so many young people outside who want to help their community. The event coincided with our Summer Solstice tutor time event where we reflected and explored upon consideration and compassion."
It is important that we teach our youngsters about the responsibilities of the environment and community. If we do not care about litter on our street or in our parks we are unlikely to care about other environmental issues that negatively impact on our lives, our community and society. Our Weald students are proud that they belong to this school and community. We believe that events like this help teach students that we all have a role and responsibility to play.

So much of it comes down to whether or not you get a good draw on the horse,
You might be able to argue that a few people lose because of a bad horse (though it's unclear how much of that is rider fault vs horse) very little of the competetion comes down to getting a good draw with your horse. The top performerss all get close to maximum scores on the equestrian portion... you'll such much less variation between top performers in the equtrian than in the other diciplines.
How much - in rough dollars - do the hourses cost?

The only sports I'd remove, if any, are the ones you can't be good at by the age of 18 unless you're wealthy or have governmental support.
Anything without kid-from-the-wrong-side-of-the-tracks-trains-in-a-dilapidated-facility-but-goes-on-to-beat-the-world-bringing-home-gold-to-America disney movie potential, basically.
The problem with staging the Modern P is that they have to move the whole MP operation over the various venues over several days.
Modern Pentathlon is a one day event.

The trouble is with removing Modern Pentathlon (which I agree, is of minimal audience interest) is it's De Coubertin's baby. It's one of the traditions that the IOC would hang on to unless they had no alternative.
I doubt it would save much money or free up much logistics if it was removed anyway. The competitor pool for it isn't large compared to other sports, and as has been mentioned, it used existing venues for other sports. Not a great deal to gain from the IOC dumping it.

Interests:eating
Other than allowing a genuine sport like Squash, Karate or Softball to be included on the Olympic programme.
All of which would be more expensive in terms of venue requirements, and bring in more athlete mouths to feed, than Modern Pentathlon. Don't get me wrong, I have absolutely no interest in MP, and would not miss it or probably even notice it if it went. But it's just not an event that placed much in the way of burden on the backs of the OCOG, and considering its sentimental value to the IOC as its very "own" contribution to the sports roster, I think they'd be more keen to cut back on events in other disciplines before they dump de Coubertin's "baby".
Let's face it, if they were serious about cutting costs, they'd get rid of the likes of sailing and equestrian. But you'd see screams of outrage from many (including us Australasians) if ever that was suggested.
I'd be fine dropping the horsies.
I quite like Modern Pentathlon, but I'd switch out the horsies for cycling, maybe a single circuit of the Mountain bike course?
Blacksheep 42
Been banned so I'm gone
Interests:From now on, avoiding pathetic squealing idiots.
any sport such as Football where winning the Gold Medal is not the pinnacle of that sports achievements
There you go, I like the horses. Shows how fraught cutting anything can get.
To my taste, I'd like to trim those sports where the Olympics is just a sideshow. Golf, tennis and perhaps football. Though I went to Murray's Wimbledon Gold and have to say it ws one of the highlights of London for me. And football at least does spread the games around a country. But, well, I'm prepared to be consistent and accept losing those three if it came about.
Nope. Only softball would bring a substantial amount more then MP. Karate is 130 and Squash would be 64 less then MP. Also Karate could double up a facility with wrestling for example. Rio is building 3 new facilities for MP, something either Karate or Squash do not need.
If those are the best alternatives, then MP should absolutley stay. All have serious flaws at least as significant as MP's, without the Olympic tradition.
Well, for Football it's not the picacle for the men's version, but I would argue that the Olympics is definitively the pinnacle of women's Football and IMO Football is worth keeping for that alone. In Canada, at least, the highlight of the games was definitively the women's Football tournament.
Curious about what are the serious flaws with Squash.
All have serious flaws at least as significant as MP's, without the Olympic tradition.
Not only is MP's participation levels minuscule, the vast majority of the population in most countries I'd expect to have never even heard of MP. I'd say that's a fairly significant flaw, superseding all others.

Seems only to be a 'Commonwealth' sport...But there's no reason for it not to be there as part of the raquet program.
Some of these 'sports' my seem strange to us BUT perfectly acceptable to others as the IOC tries to include all nations a chance to 'own a gold' so to speak.
Going back and looking at Squash only a select few countries have ever won medals at the WC, still better then table tennis.
Lack of spectator appeal, plus need for a specialized otherwise unusable venue. MP has flaws, but it is at least a great ticket to get to watch live.

BMX is popular? Only in English-speaking countries I guess. English speaking countries does not mean worldwide.
I think we can compare BMW with skeleton in Winter games. For sure it is fun, but that's all.
I am sure the people of Latvia 2 Gold, Columbia 1 silver 1 bronze, Netherlands 1 bronze and France 1 gold 1 silver would all be interested in knowing they are now considered English speaking. 2 Olympics 12 medals and 7 of the 12 from NON English speaking countries.
Someone also suggested moving indoor sports like Handball or Basketball to the Winter Olympics but this wouldn't cut costs just make the Winter Games bigger and often they are hosted by smaller cities anyway. I think the best option is to cut events within some sports like Mix doubles from Tennis, Table tennis, Badminton and team event in Fencing.
Golf should also be cut should never have been added to start with.
logico 0
Squash has now a special venue that can be assembled in every site, even in front of pyramids, if necessary, and than dismantled and sent to another place/country/event. It has transparent walls for TV and spectators view with other electronic devices to make ball more visible and so involving spectators in the game. Squash is young side, to match one of the actual IOC principle (involve more young people in olympics): i think a 20-30-40 years old prefer squash game than weightlifting or golf, or equestrian. Any way squash isn't yet in olympics so, coming back to the topic, I think some sports give medals to very few countries, like badminton, table tennis, fencing, pentathlon, equestrian.
Pentathlon and equestrian are, furthermore, too much european oriented disciplines, very few results for south america, africa, asia (only some royal family from middle east in equestrian).
very bad to watch awarding cerimony with same flags for 1st, 2nd, even 3rd place (see table tennis with China, fencing with Italy...)
Every continent but Oceania has won Fencing medals at the last Olympics, and even just within Europe we had medals from countries as diverse as Italy, Hungary, Norway and Russia. Point being, it's not like Fencing has a poor medal spread.

Deciding which sports should stay and go is always difficult, but I feel that the following three sports should go: rhythmic gymnastics, synchronized swimming, and modern pentathlon. The other two components of Olympic gymnastics (artistic and trampoline) have a better international spread than rhythmic gymnastics, which has been dominated exclusively by Russia since after the 1996 Summer Olympics. Ditto for synchronized swimming. It doesn't seem like there is a concerted effort to make those sports truly competitive. I think that they think that since Russia is the dominant force (and since they're hungry to continue cracking the Chinese market), there's no need to grow the sport any more than it needs to. I watched an Olympic modern pentathlon competition for the first time on television during London 2012, and while the combined final event does add excitement, I think that modern pentathlon is somewhat of an anachronism. Of those three sports, I'd be most hesitant to remove modern pentathlon.
Aside from removing whole sports, I think that many of the current sports should be revamped and reduced, like track cycling was after the 2008 Summer Olympics. I'd also like to see quotas reduced in many of the combat sports. When taekwondo was added to the Olympic program, they limited the events to four per gender and a maximum of two athletes per gender per country. Boxing, judo, and wrestling could use a quota reduction. No more than five men per country in boxing, and no more than four men and four women in judo, weightlifting and both freestyle and Greco-Roman wrestling. And in weightlifting and shooting, only one entry per country per event.
Okay, let us study it better and make some consideration:
fencing is in Olympics since the first edition, that means 27 Olympic Games,99 countries and 3973 qualified participants.
Only 34 countries in the whole history received medals.
Among the first 10, only one is not european, among the other 10 only 3 are not european, from the 44 medals for 1st place (Italy) we arrive immediately to have only 8 medals at the 5th place (Germany).
In London only 13 countries received medals, 5 from europe, 3 from asia, 2 fron america, 1 from africa
This means in my opinion that fencing is an exlusiveli Eurocentric sport, with some exeption and, though I am Italian, I really am imbarrassed as sportman to see 3 italian flags on the podium.
Table tennis.
Only 11 countries received medals in all TT Olympic history.
22 medals to China, 3 Korea, ....one gold to sweden... The rest of the world is not present
Again, I like very much TT (badminton too) but I think the Olympics are a Universal event for the World, not for a bunch of heroes for almost the same countries. For this goal they already have their World and continental Championships.
In Olympics should be different, Olympics are not a sum of all sport World championships: look at Athletic, swimming, taekwondo, judo, cycling, rowing, they gave medals to many countries all around the world, they and others disciplines ARE the Olympic Games for the umanity

Global warming will worsen inequalities in health around the world and increase death rates faster in poorer countries than in wealthier ones, according to a coalition of scientists, economists and climate experts.
New research from the Climate Impact Lab concludes that low-income countries were disproportionately affected by extreme heat, as the negative health effects were exacerbated by restricted access to air conditioning and less developed healthcare systems, based on the historical data.
The study, which indicates greater climate-related mortality rates in developing countries than in wealthier ones, comes as world leaders land in Sharm el-Sheikh in Egypt for the UN climate summit.
The conference is expected to be dominated by fraught debate among nations over who pays for the costs of climate change, with the smaller, less wealthy nations most affected by a warming planet arguing that richer countries with higher emissions should help foot the bill.
In a scenario where countries meet their greenhouse gas emissions reduction pledges under the Paris Agreement, Faisalabad, Pakistan, could expect annual all-cause death rates to increase by 67 deaths per 100,000 people compared to a future with no climate change, the study's authors found.
By comparison, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, more widespread access to electricity and healthcare would cause an increase of a comparably lower 35 extra deaths per 100,000 people, despite similar patterns of extreme heat being forecast.

"Just looking at this data you can think about the fact that this could have real impacts on human migration in even just the next 30 or 40 years," said Hannah Hess, associate director at the independent Rhodium Group, a part of the climate lab.
As well as studying death rates, the group partnered with the UN Development Programme to project the effects of climate change on energy use and the labour force for countries and regions across the world.
Global warming will also drive small increases in electricity use around the world as people install more air conditioning, the data set found, although the biggest rises in consumption were concentrated among the richest 10 per cent of the global population.
Middle-income populous countries including China, India, Indonesia and Mexico were all forecast to increase electricity consumption partly as a result of expanded access to electricity.
The data project also tries to capture the productivity lost per worker per year in weather exposed sectors, such as construction, mining and agriculture. It accounts for the existing country trends of people moving from work in climate-exposed sectors and into lower-risk sectors.
In countries that already face extreme heat, such as Cameroon and Malaysia, workers in high risk sectors could face interruptions of more than 15 hours annually compared to a world with no climate change, the researchers found.
Hess said workers would need to adapt to rising temperatures. "A really illustrative example is the World Cup Stadium being built in Qatar" said Hess. "If you look at the construction workers — what they're wearing to work in this hot sun is huge helmets, they have suits and they're constantly taking breaks".
The World Bank released a report on the threat of climate change to development objectives this week that showed the investment needed to lower carbon emissions are much higher in the low income countries that are most vulnerable to climate change.
The World Bank found that an average annual investment of 1.4 per cent of GDP between 2022 and 2030 could lower emissions in developing countries by as much as 70 per cent by 2050.
But for lower income countries, financing equivalent to 5 to 8 per cent of their GDP annually between 2022 and 2030 would be required.
The Bank's review covers 20 countries that account for around a third of the world's greenhouse gas emissions. The report mainly covers African and Asian countries, including China.

Most Beautiful Boy in the World sells to Juno Films ahead of Sundance premiere

Juno Films has acquired US and Canadian rights to The Most Beautiful Boy in the World ahead of its world premiere at this month's Sundance Film Festival.
The film will be of particular interest to cinephiles, as it tells the story of Björn Andrésen, who became internationally recognisable at the age of fifteen with a key role in Luchino Visconti's Death in Venice. His star turn opposite Dirk Bogarde was something of a double-edged sword — it made him famous and plunged him into a world of the rich and powerful, but it also left psychological baggage. Visconti picked Andrésen because, in the director's estimation, he was "The world's most beautiful boy." And he shot him in ways that highlighted his looks — a decision that has not necessarily aged well.
Andrésen suggested that Visconti's style bordered on the exploitation of a minor. In a 2003 interview with The Guardian, he said "I feel used" and added, "Adult love for adolescents is something that I am against in principle. Emotionally perhaps, and intellectually, I am disturbed by it — because I have some insight into what this kind of love is about."

The Most Beautiful Boy in the World is directed by Kristina Lindstom and Kristian Petri and produced by Stina Gardell's Stockholm-based Mantaray Film. Juno Films will release the film in theatres in May 2021. The deal was negotiated by Elizabeth Sheldon, founding partner and Chief Executive Officer of Juno Films. Film Boutique recently announced that they have acquired Worldwide Sales Rights.
According to the official description, "Fifty years after the premiere, Björn takes us on a remarkable journey made of personal memories, cinema history, stardust and tragic events in what could be Björn's last attempt for him to finally get his life back on track."
The film was shot over five years in Stockholm, Copenhagen, Paris, Budapest, Venice, and Tokyo and features extensive interviews with Andrésen.

"It is a story about obsession with beauty, about desire and sacrifice, about a boy whose life was changed forever when the film director Luchino Visconti declared him to be the, 'world's most beautiful boy,'" Co-director Kristina Lindstrom said in a statement. "Who was this boy and what happened to him? This film lets us listen to the boy's own story. He, who was made into an image by others, an icon, a fantasy, which took over his young life."

"Rostro" means "face" in Galician. I have no idea what the heck language Galician is - I've never heard of it. Perhaps they speak it on the Battlestar Galactica?
Anyway, this board features Deanna Webb crawling around at the beach on the California coastline. We had a great time doing this shoot. Deanna even told me that she wasn't freezing to death in the water, which was nice. Had I know that ahead of time, I would have kept her in there longer!
This was only my second time shooting "models in the surf" and I'm really stoked with how the image turned out. The water looks so wild - so vivid, it almost looks like some digital trickery. But nope. That's the actual water spray as it looked in the camera. Pretty cool.
Be sure to pick up your own copy of the Rostro deck and you can prop the board against your wall, get down on all-fours, and have a staring contest with Deanna.
My money is on her for the win.
P.S. I looked it up. "Galician" is closely related to Portuguese and spoken in northwestern Spain - an area which was once part of the medieval Kingdom of Galicia.

Arab-Jewish Relations
IDI's Arab-Jewish Relations program seeks to mitigate the tensions between Israel's Jewish majority and Arab minority and create a shared, inclusive society. The program seeks to address the social, cultural, economic and legal barriers to the integration of Israel's Arab minority into the Israeli state and society. Program staff members devise and promote policy recommendations designed to allow Israel's Arabs to prosper as citizens with equal rights and opportunities.
Among other initiatives, the program is initiating a regular survey of facts and figures about the Arab-Israeli population, developing a model of shared workspaces for Israeli employers, advancing the inclusion of Arab citizens in government decision-making, promoting mutual understanding between Jews and Arabs, and organizing forums for dialogue between Jews and Arabs and Arabs and state institutions.

Every Cloud has a Silver Lining?

Arab parties can surge if they shake off the old politics - a significant number of Arabs who stayed home in April will vote if they are persuaded their leaders have integrity
Arab Politics in Israel: Where are they Headed?
The real story of the April 2019 elections took place outside the polling booth. In the Arab sector, the Movement to Boycott the Knesset Elections, a grassroots group based on Arab young adults and university students, working on the social networks with a shoestring budget, conducted an effective campaign with a simple and catchy slogan: "Boycott: The People's Will." This message stood in utter contradiction to the motto of the elections in 2015: "The Joint List: The People's Will."
Another Chance for the Joint List
Will Arab politicians take advantage of the second chance that the new elections have presented? Runing in a Joint List and reaching out to their younger voters - 60% of which didn't vote in the last election, would be the right place to start.

The five-year plan for the development of the Arab community was a giant step forward towards the socioeconomic advancement of Israel's Arabs, nevertheless the current election campaign is going to be the acid test: Is the Israeli government serious about integrating the country's Arab citizens into the broader society, or merely in promoting the Arab economy in light of its importance for the country's overall prosperity?

Roundtable Discussion: The Status of the Arabic Language in Israel
The recently passed Nation State Law changed the status of Arabic from an official language in the State of Israel to a language with "special status". Although some may view this as only a symbolic measure, this decision has broad implications for the Israeli public. Our discussion will examine this change from a broad perspective and will relate to the many aspects of this issue. Among other things, we will discuss the study of Arabic in the education system, the presence of the Arabic language in the public and media arenas and language as a means for cultural expression.

Know the Facts: What is the Truth About the Freedom Foundation?


Although I am totally on-board with your desire to avoid pro-CC bias, I think that you may be leaning a little too far in the other direction. (1) I don't think all of these probabilities fit a bell curve; fat tails DO matter (2) The "pre-arranged" conclusion may be his comment on the research that's happened since the last IPCC. Research takes years and the IPCC (my understanding) merely summarizes it. That means that the "preview" comes from Orr's opinion as an interest observer.
I wouldn't make too much of the sloppy language around the ninety-fifth percentile events. No doubt they mean "events comparable to or stronger than the 95th percentile in a reference sample". Sloppy language is not encouraging, but that's people for you.
The real sin is the assumption that the reference sample is automatically representative when it is short on the scale of climate change; that's inexcusable.
I don't think highly of the U.N. at all. Every part of it seems cynical or politicized...just notice the most recent vote in the general assembly: 79-70 to remove gays and lesbians from a resolution condemning executions. In other words, peoples' natural right to NOT BE KILLED if they have harmed no one has been gutted because of some backwards countries in Africa and Asia that ought to have no say in the matter. A person's right to life cannot possibly be contingent on a f%^&ing VOTE. The fact that this happened shows how little respect is given to human rights in the U.N.
Again, the IPCC is a political body, not a scientific one.
Nothing it says or does should be considered scientific in any way.
@David Zetland. You're probably right that some of these distributions are fat tailed. However, it actually takes _more_ observations (sometimes many, many more) to detect when a fat tailed distribution has shifted.
So Coyote's point about not being able to detect shifts from a few years of data is in fact much more forceful if you assume fat tailed distributions.
Heh heh, you said "derivative".
I want to know how many members of the UN have an idea of what that means.
The UN has become a joke. The US is being lectured for human rights violations by countries like Iran, Syria and N Korea. Iran once chaired the non-proliferation committee and Libya chaired the human rights committee. Countries where the citizens have no meaningful vote on the affairs of their own country are allowed to vote as equal members with democracies countries. The UN has outlived its usefulness and since we need to cut spending I'm in favor of pulling out and asking them to vacate NYC. The damage they do is greater than any possible benefit that may arise.
And yet again and again the people of the USA and EU vote for it.
