Are most doctors millionaires?
I mean, there might be a few in their 40s like The Physician on FIRE, but most docs who stop working before 50 are becoming stay at home parents or changing careers, not really stopping work altogether. You can see why 50+ is such a significant age. Now the majority of doctors, 55-61% are millionaires.

"Des" is an absolute gem, a stunning riding pony with a great "look at me" presence. Able to be ridden by kids and small adults alike. Easy to catch, shoe, float etc. Up to date with teeth, worming and Hendra vaccinated. Green, but open to anything new. Has done pony camp and jump clubs. Previous owners also did some shows.
In the short time we have had him, he has roused an interest and brought back some confidence in riding for my 13yo daughter. Purchased for my 9yo son, but I was kidding myself with the amount of time we had available, and my son is growing too quickly so we now have something bigger.
More photos videos available for those genuinely interested. Anyone to view will fall in love with him as we did! Will only be sold to the best of homes. Contact me for more info.

Q: How can I correctly resize the layout when the keyboard appears? In Android I have reproduced the following layout :

In this way :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"

        android:layout_marginTop="48dp"
        android:layout_marginLeft="48dp"
        android:padding="0dp">

        <include layout="@layout/header"/>

    </LinearLayout>

    <RelativeLayout
        android:id="@+id/body"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_marginLeft="48dp"
        android:layout_marginRight="48dp"
        android:layout_marginBottom="48dp"
        android:paddingTop="96dp"
        android:background="#463779B3"
        android:visibility="visible">

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/name"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:textSize="28dp"
            android:text="title"
            android:layout_above="@+id/code"
            android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
            android:layout_marginBottom="48dp"
            android:layout_marginLeft="8dp"
            android:layout_marginRight="8dp"
            android:textColor="#000000"/>

        <EditText
            android:id="@+id/code"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:ems="10"
            android:hint="Insert here "
            android:background="@drawable/back_item_edit"
            android:textColor="#FFFFFF"
            android:layout_centerVertical="true"
            android:layout_marginLeft="36dp"
            android:layout_marginRight="36dp">
            <requestFocus />

        </EditText>

        <Button
            android:id="@+id/prova"
            android:layout_below="@id/code"
            style="@style/initialButton"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"

            android:layout_marginLeft="8dp"
            android:layout_marginRight="8dp"
            android:visibility="visible"/>

    </RelativeLayout>

</LinearLayout>

But when I click on "insert here" one problem appears : the layout is not correctly resized and doesn't fit in the little screen.
I thought to use a scrollview, but I don't know how to use it.
When the keyboard appears I would to show :

*

*header (if there is room)

*title (if there is room)

*insert here

*connect

*green part of layout (if there is room)

*keyboard

Is there a way to resolve my problem ?

A: First, you specify a lot of parameters using "dpi", like:
android:layout_marginTop="48dp"

This does not work for dynamically sizing much of anything. You are requiring the heights to be a specific height regardless of the size of other elements on the screen.
To solve this problem you first need to move away from absolute measurements, and start using runtime measurements. Normally, you could simply use the "hdpi", "xhdpi", etc. folders to manage this, but the layout with a keyboard is a dynamic measure (at runtime).
You could use XML hints like a weighted LinearLayout to adjust to the screen based on the available size. You could also use java code to change the size of elements. But you cannot expect that the screen will display elements that are larger than the available space (which is the problem it is having now). Also, you will need to determine how the elements will be "squeezed" together.
EDIT:
To make different layouts have different margins, etc. based on the screen size/density, you should look at having folders for each screen density (i.e. a folder for "layout-xhdpi" for example).
Here are the docs: http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens_support.html
Including using "dimens" folders like here:
Different values folders in android
So you have a lot of options for handling dynamic screens sizes. But maybe the "easiest" for many situations (like yours, probably) is to use the displayMetrics and adjust your elements accordingly:
getting the screen density programmatically in android?
You can measure, resize, etc. Each element has different LayoutParams or other attributes that allows you to change them programmatically. You probably need to do searches for the particular things that you want to change.

A: You can use this property in your manifest file for your activity windowSoftInputMode.

1844: John Gavin, the first European hanged in Western Australia	1756: John Symmonds, "Spanish Jack"
1733: Samuel Partridge, very stupid and unconcern'd
April 7th, 2020 Headsman
From the New England Weekly Journal, July 23, 1733 — a three-month-old news item (part of a roundup of dated minor dispatches) that had to cross the Atlantic from the mother country.
Ipswich, April 7.
Last Saturday Samuel Partridge was executed here, for robbing Mr. Barwell of Brockley in this City, of 31l, 10s., a Horse, and other Things, in Company with another Person not yet taken. He said he was born at Debden in Suffolk, that he was about 22 years of Age, and was brought up in Husbandry; he appeared to be very illiterate, for he could neither read nor write, and was entirely ignorant of the first Principles of Christianity. He denied the Fact for which he suffered, and said he was perswaded to own the Robbery by a Soldier that was in Halsted Bridewell with him, he telling him, that if he confessed the Fact he would come off very well; and that he advised him to say, that he had made use of a Bolt instead of a Pistol, and that he had hid it in a certain Place, where it was found according to his Direction. At the Place of Execution he seemed very stupid and unconcern'd; only, as directed, he called on God for Mercy when he was turned off.

http://apps.microsoft.com/windows/app/1rm/d8639e5b-93ae-4d34-a575-d84e205c134d
I get an error message when users press submit after rating.
Get error c101a006.
Not sure why this happens, open store but not able to submit review
As far as I can see no rating can be submitted due to error, at least not on Windows 8 machines running more than one account. How can I verify rating works now on machines running one account?

A: It is ZEST_E_INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR, an error that tells you that the Store server suffered a heart-attack when trying to process the submission.  The rating page itself is displayed by the Store app on your machine.  I had no trouble myself submitting a rating for your app.
So this has nothing to do with your app itself.  Web server errors happen, they can take a few days to get resolved.  At least from my test it is clear that the server can no longer be the problem.  If you still have trouble then there's something wrong with your Microsoft account.  Login on this web page and double-check that your birthdate and home country have been entered.

A: Without any code it's difficult to say.
Anyway searching googling the error code I went to Microsoft support site That says it's a server error, for example when account data are not completed. It's hard to do more with only these informations.

A: My friend was getting the same error since he was from Siberia and this is how Microsoft responded to him. Its mainly caused when one tries to rate an app while the app marketplace aint supported in that region.

*

*Go to settings > region and language > change the phones region to a supported country > restart the phone (change to UK preferably)

*Go to http://support.xbox.com/en-US/billing-and-subscriptions/account-management/change-region and click on Account migration

*Sign in with your xbox account (in some cases they will send you verification code on email address which you added before)

*Finish account migration to UK (in my case). Please keep in mind that they allow you to do this only ONCE per 3 months
Problem solved. Try to download free apps or games and everything will work.

Solution for application which requires payments:
1. Go to settings > region and language > change the phones region to a supported country > restart the phone
2. Go on store. Find some game or application for payment.
3. Add payment option which you wish
Enjoy and cheers :)
Note 1: I suggest you to complete account migration on Xbox from other device (PC/Mac)
Note 2: Xbox region restriction was cause of this error

Q: AutoMapper map Enum to SelectList - Selected value not working I have created a map which convert an enum to a SelectList by using a custom implementation of ITypeConverter.
public class DeliveryModeToSelectListTypeConverter : ITypeConverter<ProductDeliveryMode, SelectList>
{
    public SelectList Convert( ResolutionContext context ) {
        ProductDeliveryMode pdm = (ProductDeliveryMode)context.SourceValue;
        List<SelectListItem> items = new List<SelectListItem>();
        SelectListItem sli1 = new SelectListItem() {
            Text = StringEnum.GetStringValue( ProductDeliveryMode.DeliveryModeActivationByPin ),
            Value = ( (int)ProductDeliveryMode.DeliveryModeActivationByPin ).ToString(),
            Selected = (pdm == ProductDeliveryMode.DeliveryModeActivationByPin)
        };
        items.Add( sli1 );

        [...other enum members here...]

        SelectList sl = new SelectList( items, "Value", "Text", pdm );
        return sl;
    }
}

And then I have created a Map by using
Mapper.CreateMap<ProductDeliveryMode, SelectList>()
      .ConvertUsing( new DeliveryModeToSelectListTypeConverter() );
Mapper.CreateMap<Product, ProductViewModel>()
    .ForMember( p => p.DeliveryModeOptions, opt => opt.MapFrom( x => x.DeliveryMode ) )
    [...other members here...]
    .Include<ExperienceProduct, ExperienceProductViewModel>();
Mapper.CreateMap<ExperienceProduct, ExperienceProductViewModel>()
    .IncludeBase<Product, ProductViewModel>()
));

Everything seems to works very nice except from the fact that the Selected value of the SelectListItem does not maintains its value. I have been able to step into the code and the SelectListItem sli1 it's correctly created with the selected value equal to true.

However when i check that value after a mapping the value is always false as you can see from the following screenshots.

Where do I am wrong with this code?

A: The problem is when you create the select list:
SelectList sl = new SelectList( items, "Value", "Text", pdm);

You're passing the selected item as pdm of type ProductDeliveryMode, which is being compared against the Value property of type string.
From your comment below, the solution was to pass pdm as a string.

Q: Java code to access data from an excel sheet and write that specific data to another excel sheet I need to read data from a row of excel sheet through Java code and writing the content of it to another excel sheet but not in the same column but in different columns. Can anyone help me ? THANKS a lot in advance :)
Example:  Suppose from the first excel file , I got this from one of the column : CN=user1,CN=Users,DC=example,DC=com
Now, I need to put this data in another excel sheet but in different columns i.e. each of the comma separated values will go to different columns.

A: You could try exporting to tab-delineated text document and manipulating that using Java code.
https://www.howtogeek.com/79991/convert-an-excel-spreadsheet-to-a-tab-delimited-text-file/
Just use Java's I/O capabilities from there.
https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/essential/io/

A: I've recently used the Apache POI library for parsing excel spreadsheets and found it incredibly useful.
import org.apache.poi.hssf.usermodel.HSSFRow;
import org.apache.poi.hssf.usermodel.HSSFSheet;
import org.apache.poi.hssf.usermodel.HSSFWorkbook;

void parseWorkbook(File file) {
    POIFSFileSystem fs = new POIFSFileSystem(file.getInputStream());
    HSSFWorkbook wb = new HSSFWorkbook(fs);
        for (int i = 0; i < wb.getNumberOfSheets(); i++) {
            parseSheet(wb.getSheetAt(i));
        }
}

void parseSheet(HSSFSheet sheet) throws IllegalStateException {
    final int rows = sheet.getPhysicalNumberOfRows();

    HSSFRow row;
    for (int r = 0; r < rows; r++) {
        row = sheet.getRow(r);
        if (row != null) {
            parseRow(row);
        }
    }
 }

 void parseRow(HSSFRow row) {
    row.getCell(0);
    ....
 }

I'm not able to make the mini-usb Console Port on a ex2200-c-12p-2g working.
I'm accessing via a Perle terminal server.
When using the same port on the terminal server to access a SRX300, this is working fine.
On EX2200-C and EX4550 switches, only one console port is active at a time and the console input is active only on that port.

Tomas and I took a sacred vow together in 1984 to find a Love that could never be threatened. And this, we did. Little did we know initially that this pathway - A Course in Miracles - would undo every block we had to knowing and living in God's all-encompassing Love and Joy.
Tomas and I spent from 2007 to 2010 teaching around the world. Then in 2009 Tomas developed cancer. And in December 2010, he left the body. He realized that he 'chose' this and that the illness did NOT choose him. His decision was to use the seeming illness as an opportunity to Awaken - unflinchingly. Tomas taught us about *JOY*, about trust and about Love without limits.
Although Tomas left physical form in December 2010, he remains very much with us. Sometime before he left the body, Tomas awakened. He was still his unique self, with much laughter and joy; however he shifted gears and seemed to run purely on 'light' itself. And what a beacon he was!
Tomas' teaching will continue, it will be refined and transmitted, although we're not sure of the form it might take. He said, "There is no death and through the Christ in me, I pledge to demonstrate that this is true." And I feel this is the core of the deeper teachings that are currently coming through for me. They are the undoing of suffering and death in all its forms.

Citing health emergency, Ohio officials to order polls closed on Election Day, despite judge's ruling
Updated: Mar. 17, 2020, 8:04 a.m. | Published: Mar. 16, 2020, 10:14 p.m.
Ohio Statehouse (Laura Hancock/cleveland.com)
By Andrew J. Tobias, cleveland.com and Laura Hancock, cleveland.com
COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine announced late Monday that polls will be closed on Tuesday for the presidential primary election, citing a "health emergency" tied to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
And, the Ohio Supreme Court effectively allowed the election to be postponed in a remarkable early-morning decision. After requiring the state to respond before 1:30 a.m., four judges issued an unsigned decision unanimously rejecting a complaint from a Wood County judicial candidate that had been filed before the health order was released. Two judges running for re-election — Justices Judith French and Sharon Kennedy — and Pat DeWine, who is DeWine's son, did not participate.
DeWine's statement, issued Monday at 10:12 p.m., reads in full: "During this time when we face an unprecedented public health crisis, to conduct an election tomorrow would force poll workers and voters to place themselves at a unacceptable health risk of contracting coronavirus."
"As such, Health Director Dr. Amy Acton will order the polls closed as a health emergency. While the polls will be closed tomorrow, Secretary of State Frank LaRose will seek a remedy through the courts to extend voting options so that every voter who wants to vote will be granted that opportunity."
Scroll to the bottom of this post to read the full health order. Polls, which were to have re-opened this morning at 6:30 a.m., are now closed around the state.
Just now, I drove by my polling location and found a sign reading the following: "The March 17, 2020 Presidential Primary election has been postponed. NO in-person voting is taking place at voting places today." The polls will NOT be open today, Tuesday, March 17th. pic.twitter.com/isIffddwhU
— Phil Robinson (@RobinsonForOH) March 17, 2020
The unprecedented developments capped a chaotic day, which played out on a national stage, that began when DeWine and other state officials said in the afternoon they would seek to postpone the election for health reasons.
Just hours before, DeWine and LaRose announced they would seek to postpone the election until June 2, citing the expanding threat posed by COVID-19. Through what amounted to a legal maneuver, state officials backed a lawsuit filed by two older Franklin County voters with health problems who said going to the polls would make them worry for their lives, and that continuing the election as planned would violate their constitutional rights.
But shortly before 7 p.m. Monday evening, Franklin County Common Pleas Judge Richard A. Frye, a Democrat, denied the request. He said he was uncomfortable making an 11th-hour decision to delay the election, especially since state officials couldn't say June would be any safer, and since many voters had expected the election would be on Tuesday.
He sided with an argument made by a longtime GOP elections attorney representing Jason Stephens, a Republican appointed to the Ohio House of Representatives last year.
"There are too many factors to balance in this unchartered territory to say that we ought to take this away from the legislature and elected statewide officials, and throw it to a Common Pleas court judge in Columbus 12 hours before the election," Frye said before issuing the ruling.
Confusion immediately ensued. State officials erroneously told county election boards that Frye had ruled in favor of the state's request. Poll workers across the state were told not to report to work the next day. And some national media outlets contributed to the confusion, also misreporting the judge's ruling.
After it became clear what had happened, later in the evening, county elections boards told poll workers the election was actually back on. And then DeWine issued his order, citing the health emergency.
Almost immediately after DeWine's health order was announced, rumblings began that state lawmakers may try to push back.
State Rep. Jon Cross, a Kenton Republican, responded to the DeWine administration's decision by calling it a "constitutional crisis."
We have a constitutional crisis now in Ohio. I will be fighting in the AM to keep our polling locations OPEN in the 83rd district with law enforcement, as the Ohio Department of Health can not shut down an election. #ConstitutionalCrisis
— Jon Cross (@joncrossoh) March 17, 2020
So why did the state attempt the legal maneuver before issuing the health order?
As recently as Monday morning, LaRose had planned to hold a press conference announcing additional measures made in an attempt to keep the polls safe. On Sunday, he issued orders that would require county boards to offer curbside voting at polling places, and also loosened restrictions on absentee voting for Ohioans quarantined or hospitalized due to COVID-19.
But the announcement was canceled.
DeWine told reporters in Columbus Monday afternoon he didn't have the authority to move the election, even in an emergency. But he said he would recommend it be delayed until June 2, allowing people time to cast votes by mail. Republican Attorney General Dave Yost, the state's legal counsel, said he wouldn't oppose the lawsuit.
DeWine, LaRose and Lt. Gov. Jon Husted, all Republicans, said voting or working the polls might be dangerous, especially for vulnerable populations.
"Is it a perfect decision? No, absolutely it is not. But's the best we believe of the alternatives," DeWine told reporters Monday afternoon, before the judge's decision. "... And it doesn't force people to choose between their health and their constitutional rights."
Bridget Coontz, an assistant Ohio attorney general, made a similar argument in the courtroom before Frye.
"These times are anything but normal," Coontz said. "The General Assembly has no authority to remedy a constitutional violation. If this election goes forward tomorrow, it can't then turn around and grant any relief or give anything to the voters who will miss out on the opportunity to vote."
Among those arguing against the state's request was longtime GOP elections attorney Don Brey, who was representing Stephens.
Brey said delaying the election would harm candidates who have spent money telling voters the election was March 17, and confuse voters. He made an analogy that moving the election at the request of the governor the night before the election would be like President Donald Trump asking a federal judge to delay the general election in November.
"My understanding is that members of the General Assembly are available on four hours' notice. Instead, we have this litigation in front of the court right now. The precedent is a terrible precedent. Think about it," Brey said.
Coontz said convening the General Assembly might actually not be feasible, since the state and federal government have issued guidance on mass gatherings.
"It's not even clear that the General Assembly could meet to move the deadline," she said.
Before making his decision, Judge Frye said he hesitated to overrule state law that was enacted by the General Assembly.
"As of tonight, the governor has not called an emergency session of the legislature," Frye said.
Nor have the leaders of the Ohio House and Senate, he added.
Frye said that an unknown number of ballots from early voting and absentee voting had been turned in. It was unclear what election security measures would be taken if he were to delay the election. That also made it difficult for him to allow the election to be postponed.
"The notion that we postponed the primary... pre-supposes that the medical situation in America will get any better. We have no evidence that is the case," he said. "And it could be quite the contrary, to my limited understanding. The doctors giving briefings in the national media suggest it could be months before we get to the point where there is stability."
Zach West, an attorney representing the Ohio Democratic Party, also argued in the courtroom Monday evening. He said the party didn't oppose moving the election, but said June was too late. He asked instead for the judge to set an April 28 election.

The Swedish Death 'n' Roll infernal machine JESUS CHRÜSLER SUPERCAR continues to race at full throttle on the dusty asphalt of the Rock 'n' Roll highway. Led by their axe-swinging frontman Robban Bergeskans, the Stockholm pack consisting of drum machine Nicke Forsberg and former Refused and The Bones guitarist Pär Jaktholm has once again entrenched itself in the legendary Sunlight Studio, to record the furious successor of their ruthless album "35 Supersonic", this time mixed by Nicke's brother Fred Forsberg from Fvck Life Studios (Mass Worship, Anchor, Gust) together with producer legend Tomas Skogsberg (Entombed, The Hellacopters, Amorphis). For the tough American tone it was banked on Brad Boatright from Audiosiege (Converge, C.O.C., Black Tusk) for the mastering. The result is a malicious, fierce album that merges its various musical influences from dirty Heavy Rock, Doom, Stoner and old school Death Metal into a unique diabolical brew. It is not without reason that album no. 3 bears the clear title "Lücifer".
The eleven new riff monsters clearly show signs of the moving events of the last two years with numerous milestones, such as the performance at the Wacken Open Air 2016, the tour with the American giants Clutch through five countries as well as shows with great Heavy Rock and Metal bands like Greenleaf, Fatso Jetson, Orange Goblin, Spiritual Beggars, Warrior Soul or last but not least the European tour with Bullet and Screamer, during which the new second guitarist Tobbe Engdahl also had his baptism of fire.

Apple's Not Doomed When it Comes to AI
Ken Yarmosh
This year's Google I/O was all about AI and it's computing power. Google showcased its 17-year focus in organizing the world's information via the Google Assistant—previously Google Now—in products like Google Home and Allo. Its machine-learning demos were impressive and its custom chip focused on machine learning in AI servers probably didn't generate the wow factor it deserved.
I'm not surprised by reactions like Marco Arment's concern for Apple in the face of Google's apparent AI and computing superiority. Back in 2014, I wrote that Apple seemed to continue to focus on the relative short term, at least in what they're bringing to the market and talking about in public. Whereas Google has self-driving cars and ventures to Mars—now all being rolled into separate businesses—Apple has been focused on incremental value like Handoff and Apple Pay.
All this background doesn't mean that Apple is doomed to lose consumers to Google's head start in AI or data infrastructure and services. The battle for what's beyond handheld devices is more complex than that and is not just about technology.
Look Closer, Apple Gets AI
I remember telling people back in 2008 that the iPhone changed the game because it knew more about you than say a web browser did. You might have used Yelp prior to 2008. Once you had Yelp in your pocket, while on the street it could pinpoint your exact location and provide immediate, contextual results. You could then send a restaurant you picked to a friend from your address book. This sounds basic now, but it wasn't then. Computing that was with you all the time, knew where you were, and had access to your social graph is what ushered in the era of mobile-local-social apps.
The iPhone and what was then "iPhone OS" enabled this new environment. It was Apple's belief of the marriage of hardware and software that allowed developers to create dozens and dozens of killer apps. Apple provided easier and better access to OS-level functions while offering a rich SDK. For many years, comparable killer apps just did not exist on Android.
In 2016, however, Android has the same apps and experiences that iOS has. Apps are no longer Apple's competitive advantage. They're no longer the reason to choose an iPhone, whereas they were even just a few years ago.
Google has been getting better at what Apple does faster than Apple has with Google's core competencies. Whether it's user experience, design, or even a more platform-centric approach, Google has advanced those fairly quickly compared to Apple's mastering of AI and data services.
In many ways, Google I/O 2016 shows Google running with Apple's playbook starting back in 2007: more personal computing. If the iPhone could be with you everywhere, at least as defined back in 2007, Google Home and the new Google Assistant makes this infinitely more so. Why my family loves Amazon's Alexa is that she's always just there.
Apple hasn't, however, completely ignored AI or data infrastructure and services. Since 2011, Siri has been a considerable focus for Apple and each year it keeps getting better. Similarly, iMessage is an immensely successful platform for Apple that is ultra-reliable.
No, Siri is not on par with what Google has or demonstrated for Google Home. As far as we know, Apple also doesn't have a chip that helps compute AI faster. In my daily usage, Siri is better than Alexa though. And FaceTime is often as good as a Google Hangout.
Just as with the operating system itself, the playing field will be leveled when it comes to AI and infrastructure. Apple is heavily focused on Siri and what it means across mediums and platforms. Siri and iCloud represent a focus since 2011, meaning Google has about a 12-year head start in this space. We still hear today that Apple is taking more and more infrastructure in-house. Apple also knows hardware extremely well and could easily move into creating chips for whatever they need.
As I commented on Twitter, Siri and Apple's approach to AI will soon be able to do "enough" for many users. It will get to the point where the general public won't see them as competitive advantages or reasons to use one over the other. This may not happen in the next 2-3 years, but it will happen sooner rather than later.
Apple's Tech Hurdles vs. Google's Perception Problems
The right experience is what will win for AI. That's where things get interesting for Google. The company that early on adopted the "don't be evil" motto has not fully overcome this hurdle. This is why they had to dedicate entire sections of their I/O keynote to talking about security and privacy. Even its successful Gboard launch on iOS had to address privacy extensively.
Meanwhile, Apple is the company that from day one of the App Store—and its platforms in general—has a very locked down, security-centric approach. Apple has had its extensive app review policy in place since the start and a permissions approach to information like location, contacts, and comparable data that Android later adopted.
People are still wondering about Google's intentions. Can a company that makes money on eyeballs and advertising be trusted with more data? How do products like Allo help the core way Google generates revenue?
Let's surmise for a moment that I'm vastly off with how much further ahead Google is than Apple when it comes to AI. Let's just say that Google is 50 years ahead of them for the sake of this example. If people don't trust Google, it ultimately doesn't matter if they have the best AI. Apple's "significantly worse" AI in the form of Siri would be preferred and be used more.
Apple likely isn't 50 years behind Google when it comes to AI. If you go just by the years Google has existed compared to when Apple launched Siri, it's a 12 year head start going into 2011. Apple has made a ton of progress in the last five years. What does Google's advancements in improving its perceptions around privacy concerns look like over that same period of time? Which is a harder hurdle to overcome, technology or trust?
Concluding Note
So, no, Apple is not doomed on the AI and infrastructure front. Apple ushered in the current platform shift: the original mobile-local-social approach that propelled a more personal computing era. They've fallen behind but they're not that far behind. Apple has its technology hurdle in its sights and Google its perception problem. They've both won the handheld war, at least for now. The battle for the home, the car, and anywhere a device is not easily accessible is just beginning.

Saving Labour and the One-Party State
New Labour (left) and the Tories (right).
'Saving Labour', a shadowy, anonymous advocacy group whose express aim is to oust Jeremy Corbyn as Labour Party leader briefly rose to fame last week after it was endorsed by a number of anti-Corbyn, Labour-supporting celebrities such as author J.K. Rowling, comedian Robert Webb and actor Jason Isaacs. Some mild controversy has been brewing over the sources of this group's funding, with fears that it essentially represents corporate interests and wealthy elites, which would not be surprising given those factions' natural hostility towards Corbyn and socialist politics in general. The Scotland Herald pointed out that the pro-Corbyn Momentum group had been forced to undergo checks by the Electoral Commission over the sources of its funding after a request from Blairite MP Emma Reynolds earlier in the year, and so surely the same kind of procedure should also be conducted with this anti-Corbyn group. Whether or not this will occur is a test of how fair and free the electoral system really is; are rigorous checks on campaign funding only for those candidates who are anti-establishment and challenge the status quo, or are they for all candidates, regardless of their political message?
The forces behind this group, after receiving endorsements from a number of mainstream cultural icons, deserve further inspection. On their website, they claim to have "tens of thousands" of supporters, who are probably nostalgic for those good old days when Labour was invading Iraq and softening up the NHS for privatisation. Their message is clear: "Join our campaign to save Labour and save democracy", ignoring the fact that Jeremy Corbyn is the democratically elected leader of the Labour Party. Under the heading, 'Challenge the Tories', they state: "Labour needs to hold the Tory Government to account and be ready to form a radical alternative Government", ignoring the fact that most Labour MPs left over from the Blair regime are indistinguishable from most Tories, and so the idea of "a radical alternative Government" or any kind of an opposition consisting of them is a complete joke. Was it "radical" when Blairites voted against Corbyn and with the Tories to bomb Syria and renew Trident? Give me a break.
Under the heading, 'Build a strong democracy', they state: "Jeremy Corbyn has alienated almost all his colleagues in Parliament, has failed to set any kind of policy agenda and cannot meet the profound challenges of the future". Did he alienate his colleagues, or were they against him from day one? And has he alienated Party members, such as the 50,000 people who joined the Party in the aftermath of Corbyn's election as leader last year and the numerous others who have joined up since? The answers to both of those questions are obvious, and yet apparently elude the likes of J.K. Rowling and Robert Webb. As for Corbyn's "policy agenda", it can be found here. I'm not too sure what "profound challenges of the future" the website makers had in mind, but two of the main ones I can think of from a traditional Labour Party viewpoint are putting an end to perpetual war and preventing the privatisation of public services. Given a choice between Jeremy Corbyn, a lifelong principled opponent of both war and privatisation, and Owen Smith, who in 2006 said that he didn't know whether he would have voted to attack Iraq (only to later come out with a fully-formed opinion post-Chilcot), and who previously actively pushed for the privatisation of the NHS, I'd go with Corbyn.
Robert Webb is quoted on the website as saying, "I've stopped grimly waiting for the next disaster. Signed." Webb's definition of "disaster" is the Party he supports losing the next elections. There are people in Iraq who would probably define that word slightly differently (having their country destroyed in an aggressive war carried out by a Labour government, for example); but so long as the Labour Party is 'electable', that's all that matters. It doesn't matter what it does or what it stands for; only if it is marketable. Rowling and Webb and the other celebrities who endorse 'Labour First' are like the Bolsheviks who put an end to Tsarist tyranny in Russia and then went on to install their own form of tyranny and oppression, and justified all of the heinous abuses of power they carried out by saying that they were "defending the revolution". Anyone who spoke out against and resisted the oppression they implemented was labelled an "enemy of the revolution". But what even was 'the revolution' anymore, apart from a way of justifying a new form of totalitarian rule? Likewise, what even is 'the Labour Party' anymore, apart from a means of achieving power for power's sake? What's the point in supporting a Party if it doesn't stand for anything? Labour without Corbyn would turn the UK back into a one-party state, where Labour and the Tories are just different faces of the same evil. That's the real threat to democracy.

Is Sedgwick County Ready To Reopen? Business And Health Leaders Disagree.
KMUW | By Nadya Faulx
Published April 27, 2020 at 4:18 PM CDT

Local business leaders and health care experts are at odds over when — and how — Sedgwick County should begin to ease its coronavirus lockdown.
County commissioners began talks last week about the process of reopening businesses that have been closed for weeks because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Gov. Laura Kelly indicated this weekend she will begin easing restrictions on social gatherings as early as May 4; her current statewide stay-at-home order expires May 3.
In a letter to county commissioners, the Wichita Regional Chamber of Commerce says it supports "reigniting the economy" through a phased, data-driven approach.
"We are encouraged by the data we have seen and the prospects for many south central Kansas businesses to open their doors again, even as we stay vigilant in taking precautions to mitigate the spread of COVID-19," writes board chair Junetta Everett.
She says businesses — with guidance from county leaders and health officials — are equipped to begin safely reopening.
"We believe that the decisions you make in the coming weeks can be smart and safe while still addressing the critical challenges businesses and workers are facing right now," she says in the letter. "COVID-19 has destroyed the lives and livelihoods of many in our community, but we will work to restore them."
Jobless claims have surged in Kansas as businesses deemed non-essential have had to shutter indefinitely. But some local physicians say it's too soon to reopen the community.
A panel made up of four members of the Medical Society of Sedgwick County sent commissioners a list of recommendations, urging them to extend the stay-at-home order at least 7 days past when it's set to expire.
"The surge of the COVID-19 outbreak reached Kansas and Sedgwick County later than other states and communities," the panel says in a statement submitted to commissioners. "This suggests that our peak will occur later and that, consequently, the reopening of our community should occur later than other communities.
"Though our cases are not increasing exponentially, it is unknown whether the peak has occurred in Sedgwick County."
The panel — which consists of infectious disease specialist Tom Moore, emergency physician Howard Chang, family medicine specialist Sheryl Beard and pulmonologist Chloe Steinshouer — also notes that Sedgwick County hasn't met the White House's criteria for reopening.
"Specifically, we have not demonstrated a robust program of testing and a downward trend of cases over a 14-day period."
Other recommendations include:
Increasing rates of testing in Sedgwick County
Maintaining group size limits "for all purposes"
Making masks "a community standard" for everyone when they're outside the home
And all businesses requiring staff and patrons to wear a mask
The chamber of commerce in its letter to commissioners urges them to look at the rate of cases, rather than the raw number, as testing does increase.
County health officer Garold Minns said Friday that hospitals in the area think they're seeing a "flat" peak of cases.
"They're feeling good about the fact that we're not going to have a huge surge," he said, "and I think they're feeling more comfortable that we can move ahead now and get the economy back going."
But it won't happen at once, he said. He and county health director Adrienne Byrne will speak to commissioners during their meeting Wednesday about the stay-at-home order and limited public gatherings.
"Like any patient recovering from an injury, our community has had an injury," Minns said. "It takes some time to recover, and our community is going to take some time to recover."

NEPAD for Journalists
The Economic Diplomacy of the Nigerian State
NIIA Biblographic Series 21
Journalists and mass communicators must be expeditiously mobilised and educated on everything about NEPAD, so that they will, in turn. educate and inform the rest of the society.
Journalists and mass communicators must be expeditiously mobilised and educated on everything about NEPAD, so that they will, in turn. educate and inform the rest of the society. At present, the concept of NEPAD is only being mouthed in government circles, making it look like one more diplomatic gimmick, good on paper, but up to no good to the people.
Herein then lies the significance of this workshop. It is my hope that African governments must see the need now to make the media partners in this development effort. The overall objective is to enable media practitioners serve out their role as interpreters. They will effectively distill matters concerning NEPAD to the bare essentials, particularly in our largely unenlightened society, and increasingly complex world.
The media could become the instrument of African governments, for the propagation of NEPAD objectives. This way through careful information management, the government would effectively market NEPAD as both an idea and an objective for the people to adopt.

Friday was an awesome day. My husband and I took off on a little road trip before work and came home with this 🙂 I was so excited I had to ride that day. The following day we rode to work which reveals what we had to ride home in that night lol But, I still had a blast!
I absolutely love going to a zoo and seeing all the animals. My favorite will always be the Gorilla. Why? I have no idea. I think their amazing. If you're ever near a zoo, any zoo stop in and check it out, you won't regret it. Here's a few pics I took while I was there. Link below photos.
To start the weekend off right Belinda and I decided to try our luck at the ziplines. Neither of us had tried it before and being that we were on a weekend quest for adventure, we thought we'd have a little fun. The people at the ranch were friendly, joking and having fun themselves. A great atmosphere for a first time zipline adventure. All photos below are courtesy of Jayell Ranch. Link below.
Recently I spent a fun filled weekend with one of my very best friends. Needless to say we had a blast. Spending time at Dollywood two days in a row was more than enough to make a girl tired, not to mention all of the other outside activities we crammed into our weekend which I will add photos and individual post. You can see more of Dollywood by clicking on the post at the end of the photos.
Pickard's Farm has existed since the year 1916. Although the farm was small in the beginning, it has grown way beyond what you can see in these pictures — over the mountain and down the river a great distance. Owner Don Pickard and his wife June have lived on the original farm since the early 70′s. When Don Pickard purchased all the nearby adjoining land, he turned this once small farm into an amazing place to raise children and grandchildren. He added a large gazebo with a full working kitchen, a dock to fish from, a cabin with bunks and a sitting porch over the water, a sandy beach in process and a playground.
One feature that absolutely amazed me was the outhouse with running water, a sink, and a regular toilet. I know guests have to love that feature. In addition to the buildings and furnishings on the farm, there are some incredible animals. The Sicilian Miniature Donkeys are adorable, and there are American Paint Horses and some really awesome Texas Longhorn Steer. A flock of swallows nest below the deck and ducks lay their eggs in nests under the cabin. I could honestly spend a whole day on the farm just walking around looking at everything and enjoying the serenity. Time seemed to pass too quickly when I was there, so I'm hoping to go back soon and spend a little more time walking the riverbank and fishing for hours.
See links at the bottom of this post for more information on the history of the animals on Pickard's Farm.
Last month we had a small ice storm. Driving on the roads was the last thing I wanted to do that day, so I stayed home from work. I decided to go outside and take a few pictures of the aftermath. Enjoy!


This article describes the formula syntax and usage of the PERMUT function in Microsoft Excel.
Returns the number of permutations for a given number of objects that can be selected from number objects. A permutation is any set or subset of objects or events where internal order is significant. Permutations are different from combinations, for which the internal order is not significant. Use this function for lottery-style probability calculations.
Number Required. An integer that describes the number of objects.
Number_chosen Required. An integer that describes the number of objects in each permutation.
Both arguments are truncated to integers.
If number or number_chosen is nonnumeric, PERMUT returns the #VALUE! error value.
If number ≤ 0 or if number_chosen < 0, PERMUT returns the #NUM! error value.
If number < number_chosen, PERMUT returns the #NUM! error value.
Permutations possible for the arguments specified in A2:A3.
Permutations possible for a group of 3 objects where 2 are chosen.


Image Gallery: Classic Cars The cars of the Art Deco era featured swooping fenders, long hoods, and highly streamlined shapes. See more pictures of classic cars.
Art Deco was an artistic movement that dominated nearly every form of creative expression in the period between World War I and World War II. From the Chrysler Building to furniture to paintings and advertisements, Art Deco brought about a new era of style that combined extravagance with simplicity and functionality.
That design language extended to automobiles as well, particularly the ultra-expensive cars from Europe in the 1930s. While much of the world suffered through the Great Depression, there remained a class of people untouched by a struggling economy and they demanded their automobiles -- still a relatively rare and expensive thing to own at the time -- have a level of opulence that reflected the spirit of the times.
Fortunately for them, that decade was one where car companies like Delahaye, Delage, Talbot-Lago, Voisin and Bugatti existed specifically to produce incredible machines that average people could only dream of owning. And coachbuilders like Chapron, Figoni et Falaschi, Gangloff, Vanvooren and others were there to produce stunning bodies for those cars that are considered inspiring even today [source: Garrett].
The cars of the Art Deco era featured swooping fenders, long hoods, and highly streamlined shapes. Unlike the cars of today, they weren't just about simple transportation -- they were about making bold statements and high style. These styling cues spilled over to more affordable American cars as well, like the now-famous Chrysler Airflow.
In this article we'll journey back to an extravagant and optimistic time when outrageous cars ruled the world. We'll learn about the Art Deco movement, the impact it had on automobiles, and where some of the most eye-catching cars of all time are today.

En simpel harmonisk bevægelse er i fysikken en måde at beskrive bevægelse omkring en ligevægtstilstand eller oscillation. En kraft virker for at bringe det bevægede tilbage i ligevægtstilstanden, og for simple harmoniske bevægelser specifikt gælder det, at kraften er proportional med forskydningen. Noget, der foretager en harmonisk bevægelse, kaldes en harmonisk oscillator.

Formeludledning
Som det er givet i definitionen vil kraften virke modsat og proportionalt forskydningen af det oscillerende. Kraften er altså lig den negativ placeringsforskydning gange en proportionalitetskonstant:

Præcis den samme formel kendes fra Hookes lov, der bruges til at beskrive kraften i en fjeder som udstrækningen gangen fjederkonstanten. Et lod i en fjeder kan altså lave en simpel harmonisk bevægelse og omvendt kan simple harmoniske oscillatorer beskrives som masse-fjeder-systemer. Kraften i udtrykket kan imidlertid også skrive som masse gange acceleration, og yderligere kan acceleration skrives som position differentieret to gange. Man får:

Derved fremkommer en lineær, homogen differentialligning. Løsningen er en funktion for placeringen, og den må således afspejle det periodiske i en funktion. En løsning er da også en sinusoidal funktion givet ved:

Dette kan testes ved at indsætte den på x's plads i differentialligningen:

Det ses, at ligningen er sand, når

Ved omrokering af denne ligning får man:

Omega symboliserer vinkelfrekvensen, der hænger sammen med frekvensen af bevægelsen ved

Vinkelfrekvensen er altså er givet ved kvadratroden af fjederkonstant over massen, mens massen er givet ved fjederkonstant over vinkelfrekvensen kvadreret. Sidstnævnte sammenhæng anvendes i rummet, da vægtløsheden umuliggør en tyngdefeltsafhængig vægt.

Last Night: Ryan Adams and the Cardinals at Verizon Wireless Theater
Houston Press October 19, 2007 12:54PM
Ryan Adams and the Cardinals October 18, 2007 Verizon Wireless Theater
Click here for a slideshow of crowd shots. Now with extra hatin'!
Better Than: Being confronted with the fact that Kid Rock is now an elder statesman rock star.
Download: The song about a past romantic grievance. The one about drinking is good too. Oh, and the one about heartbreak. Don't forget that one.
As much as I would like to easily categorize last night's Ryan Adams show as a musical concert, I would only be telling half the story. You see, it was more of a five man stand-up comedy act, interspersed with morose and somber songs about love lost.
Ryan Adams has always been lumped into the bratty rock star bin. He has a past marked with drunken tirades against audiences; bizarre Web sites, proving html coding is a privilege, not a right; an erratic, yet monstrously prolific and well-received recording output; and self-confessed addictions to various powders, pills and plants. What most casual listeners don't realize is that Adams somehow makes all that work to his advantage. For all the drama he accumulates, the boy-man wears it like a comfortable worn-in denim jacket.
Ryan Adams has said in the past that he would gladly step aside from his solo career and tour full-time with the Cardinals. After last night's show, he makes a helluva lot of sense. The set relied on almost all Cardinals tunes, from their 2005 debut to this past summer's Easy Tiger. After a few songs, we all expected we were in for a very polite and staid Ryan, the one who says three words and hits the bus. But about four songs in, the whole band entered into a banter with the audience that didn't stop all night. Adams and guitarist Neal Casal began riffing on all things, ranging from the crowd's apparent sex breaks in the bathrooms, to the constant applause we were doling on him. If you were already aware of Adams's past history, you pretty much chalked it up to pot and whiskey. But on closer inspection, we found he was drinking Diet Coke and eating fruit cookies. It was thrilling to see such a closed-off artist come on like late-night talk show host. Compare it to Gramps breaking out of a coma and telling fart jokes after years of lying dormant.
Adams jumped on keys for "Off Broadway," leaning against the ivories as if he were wrenching out each note. He was extremely playful when he wanted to be, and appropriately collected when the piece required it. The band that Adams has assembled is not unlike the group Bob Dylan has aquired this past decade. Each piece fits like a five-part jigsaw puzzle, symbiotically excavating each song for unseen artifacts. If this is what jam music is going to be like for the next 30 years, with Adams at the helm, just count me in now.
Critic's Notebook
Personal Bias: I am a white male who has had a romantic interest in someone of the opposite sex. So I have an innate knowledge of the lyrical content.
Random Detail: The merch table was shilling Swatch-style watches with the Cardinals flower logo on it, so you can know exactly when that sale at the Lucky Jeans store begins.
By the way: Each time I see a show at Verizon, I feel like I am guest-starring on my own episode of "OZ." You get yelled at and berated for walking down the wrong aisle. If you are waiting to buy merch, they tell you to hurry the hell up. I was taking pictures of the smoking throng outside, and I was told to stop. The only people working there who seem to be having a good time are the bartenders. And with beers at almost seven dollars, wouldn't you be happy? Each time I leave the venue, I have a new boyfriend and a new shiv. – Craig Hlavaty
