WHAT WILL MOBILE LEARNING BE LIKE IN NEXT 10 YEARS?
The true potential of mobile learning a.k.a. m-Learning should not be merely described as learning content delivered or accessed on a mobile device. It should be viewed as a way to augment the learner by providing access to both learning content and support information, anytime and anywhere. Hence, both the learners and devices of today as well as the future should be considered to give a much more flexible insights on mLearning.
Innovation, for example, cell phones and tablets are a main thrust behind the versatile mLearning industry. An m-Learning platform is ubiquitous by its nature of portability, whether it's a tech-savvy or tech-incipient user, anyone and everyone can be a mlearner's consuming the learning content on their mobile – at a cafeteria, while traveling, or even waiting.
Live statistics analysis illustrates that mLearning platform will be a 70$ billion industry by 2020. On a comparative analysis between mobile users and desktop users, 80% of people uses smartphones out of which 57% are having two digital media and 27% has only one smartphones whereas 14% users only access desktop/laptops. User's statistics analysis says that 52% peoples uses mobile after waking up meanwhile 46% uses before they go to sleep. 5-year analytics states that there is an increase in daily mobile data usage time from 0.4 hours to 2.8 hours. Demographics analytics of age group in between 18-34 years illustrates that 97% are mobile users.
Well, smart phone and tablets keep on being more accessible and widely used, we now have a chance to capitalize with this pattern by expanding the pace at which we make eLearning accessible on these mobile phones. In academic institutions, the pattern of learning on mobiles has a drastic change, e.g. for increasing students' appreciation for learning on their own, driving students to see a subject totally different to what would be the norm they would have done without the use of mobile devices, "just in time" knowledge source, ease-to-access in any courses, self-developed videos to support informal learnings, set-up innovative games for motivation of reluctant young learners, etc. Industrial and corporate sector users are also utilizing mobile devices for their training: Learning management system (LMS) platform. For example; Moodle is one of the finest user friendly learning management system, which has been successfully integrated within a mobile app. Not only this application is used in corporate sectors but academic and training institutions are also making use of this technology. Training via mobile devices offers some unique features which are lacking in general eLearning environment. As the device is portable for use, the training would not be a sit down once and be done with kind of thing. Different modes of information transfer are possible: text messages, chats, social media, blogs, games and videos, which are limited for general eLearning platform.
Mobile web usage has increased from 11% (2012) to 17% (2013).
Android devices control 73% of the mobile learning market share.
78% U.S. white-collar employees use a mobile devices for their work.
The market of corporate Learning Management Systems is set to grow from being a $2.55 billion market in 2013 to a $7.83 billion market in 2018, with a Compound Annual Growth Rate of 25.2%.
More than 1/3 of teachers said they used a tablet or e-reader in the classroom.
80% of learners claimed learning would be more productive if it were more game-oriented.
On a worldwide scale, revenues for game-based learning were around $2.6 billion in 2016. By 2021, those numbers are predicated to climb dramatically to around $7.3 billion.
73% of teachers access digital content from their handheld mobile device.
The worldwide market for mobile learning will reach $12.2 billion by 2017.
It is expected that after some time, the mLearning will be a "must-have" knowledge for anyone working in an instructional program. Watching this, the technical expertise of personnel's on using mLearning platform will increase tremendously.
If your LMS or eLearning platform is not *Mobile-Ready*, maybe you are missing on retaining your Learners, or acquiring new Learners. So, what is your Mobile Learning strategy?

What is a Settlement Price?
A settlement price, typically used in the derivatives markets, is the price used for determining profit or loss for the day, as well as margin requirements. The settlement price is the average price at which a contract trades, calculated at both the open and close of each trading day, and it is important because it determines whether a trader is required to post additional margins. It is generally set by defined procedures that differ slightly depending on the exchange and the instrument traded.
The settlement price may also refer to the final price an underlying asset achieves with reference to options contracts to determine whether they are in-the-money (ITM) or out-of-the-money (OTM) at expiration and what their payoffs ought to be. Settlement prices may also be used to compute the net-asset value (NAV) of mutual funds or ETFs on a daily basis.
Settlement prices are often based on the average price of the contract over a specified period, such as across the trading day, at times using the opening and closing prices as part of the calculation, though not all markets use the same formula.
A settlement price is used as the reference price for marking the value of open derivatives contracts, or for evaluating their value upon expiration.
The opening price reflects the price for a particular security at the beginning of the trading day within a particular exchange while the closing price refers to the price of a particular security at the end of that same trading day.
Settlement prices are based on price averages within a specific time period. These prices may be calculated based on activity across an entire trading day or on activity that takes place during a specific window of time within a trading day. In cases where securities are traded on multiple markets, a closing price may differ from the next day's opening price due to off-hours activity occurring while the first market is closed.
While the opening and closing prices are generally handled the same way from one exchange to the next, there is no standard on how settlement prices must be determined in different exchanges, causing variances across the global markets.
Typically, the settlement price is set by determining the weighted average price over a certain period of trading, typically shortly before the close of the market. On the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, the settlement prices of certain equity futures were determined by a volume-weighted average of pit trading activity in the 30 seconds between 3:14:30 p.m. and 3:15:00 p.m. CDT. Beginning in December of 2014, the time was shifted to 12:59:30 p.m. and 1:00:00 p.m. CDT, respectively, maintaining the previous 30-second window but basing it on a different time period.
On the Moscow Exchange (MOEX), settlement prices for the RTS Index and MICEX Index are based off activity between 3:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. of the last trading day. The Russian Volatility Index uses a different time period, instead focused on activity between 2:03:15 p.m. and 6:00:00 p.m.
Settlement price is typically used for derivatives and is the average price over a certain period of time for its price.
There is no standard on how settlement prices must be calculated and, hence, there is great variance across exchanges for settlement prices of similar contracts.
If you own a call option with a strike price of $100 and the settlement price of the underlying asset at its expiration is $120, then the owner of the call is able to purchase shares for $100, which could then be sold for a $20 profit, since it is in-the-money. If, however, the settlement price were $90, then the options would expire worthless since they are out of the money.
Strike price is the price at which a derivative contract can be bought or sold (exercised).
The exercise price is the strike price, or, the price at which the underlying security can be bought or sold when trading options.
Funds transfer pricing (FTP) is a method used to measure how funding is contributing to overall profitability for a firm. The FTP process is most often used in the banking industry as a means for analyzing the areas of strength and weakness within the funding of the institution.

Lord Richard Frederick Cavendish,   (31 January 1871 – 7 January 1946), known as Richard Cavendish until 1908, was a British aristocrat, author, magistrate, and politician.

Background and education
A prominent figure from the Cavendish family, he was a younger son of Lord Edward Cavendish, third son of the 7th Duke of Devonshire. The 8th Duke of Devonshire was his uncle and the 9th Duke of Devonshire his elder brother. His mother was Emma Elizabeth, daughter of the Hon. William Lascelles. He was educated at Eton and Trinity College, Cambridge, where he was a member of the Pitt Club.

Political career
Cavendish was elected in the 1895 general election as the Member of Parliament (MP) for North Lonsdale. He crossed the floor from being a supporter of the Liberal Unionists to being a member of the Liberal Party in 1904. Therefore, he was one of the few Liberal MPs who lost their seat in the 1906 election. In December 1908 he was appointed chairman of the Royal Commission on Systems of Election, with the mandate "to secure a fully representative character for popularly elected legislative bodies" and "to consider whether, and how far, they, or any of them, are capable of application in this country in regard to the existing electorate". The commission reported in 1910, recommending the abolition of two member constituencies "as soon as possible"; this was implemented. The commission also recommended the adoption of an alternative vote system, which was not implemented.

In 1911 Cavendish was on Prime Minister Asquith's list of peers in case the Parliament Act 1911 was not passed by the House of Lords and was admitted to the Privy Council in 1912. As President of the Royal Lancashire Agricultural Society, Cavendish visited Lancaster in 1925. He was the Lord of the Manor, residing at Holker Hall (where his descendants remain to this day) and owned the Swan Hotel at Newby Bridge. He was an active freemason and a keen golfer.

Family
Cavendish married Lady Moyra, daughter of William Beauclerk, 10th Duke of St Albans, in 1895. They had two sons and five daughters. Ordinarily, as the male-line grandson of a duke he would not be entitled to use the prefix "Lord" before his Christian name, but because his elder brother Victor Cavendish, succeeded as the 9th Duke of Devonshire in 1908, he was elevated to the rank of a son of a duke along with his younger brother Lord John Cavendish. His grandson Lord Cavendish of Furness is third in line to succeed his cousin Peregrine Cavendish, 12th Duke of Devonshire as Duke of Devonshire after William Cavendish, Earl of Burlington and his son.

We all know we're supposed to drink more water. However, drinking is only one of the things we use water for in our homes every, single day. There is a myriad of other tasks that we perform without even thinking about them, from cleaning, to showering, to washing our clothes.
If you have hard water, though, every single one of these everyday things can feel like a molehill that's quickly turning into a mountain.
There are a slew of benefits to having your own, home purifier, even if you don't notice that you have red streaks in your linens or a metallic taste in your water bottle.
While drinking hard water is typically safe, it is rarely a pleasant experience. A water purification system can give you water that's free of tiny impurities that you might not be able to see, but which you can certainly taste. This way everything from your glass of water to the pitcher of lemonade for your guests, can taste exactly the way it was meant to!
Washing your clothes is a necessity, but there is no denying that it puts wear and tear on the fabrics. However, there's no reason to make the process harder than it needs to be, and unfiltered water can definitely do that. For that reason, it's a good idea to soften your water and to remove as many impurities as you can. It also reduces the risk that deposits will be left behind, such as the red streaks you can get if there's too much iron in your water.
How many appliances in your home have water flowing through them? Your coffeemaker, your dishwasher, and even the heads in your showers can all suffer from impurities in your water. They can build up inside the inner passages, leave deposits, shorten the lifespan of your appliances, and use more energy. The more impurities you filter before you use your water, the less of a problem for you.
The pipes in your house are designed to transport water. They're prepared to resist the effects of pressure, corrosion, etc. However, when impurities are introduced, that can wear on these preventative measures quickly. While it won't require you to change your fittings once a year, the damage adds up over time. Preventing damage with pure water via a water purifier could save you time.
If you have impurities in your water, those don't just vanish when the water evaporates. That's why you'll find deposits in toilets, and on the inside of a shower if you have hard water. These deposits can stain, and make clean up a more frequent and more arduous task. Whereas if you have a filtration system in place, those deposits will be stopped before they reach the surface.
If you have more questions about installing a water purifier for your home, and you need answers, all you have to do is contact us today to get expert answers about what is right for you and your home.

Q: Characteristic polynomial of adjoint I'm trying to show that the adjoint transformation $T^*$ of the endomorphism $T$ on a finite dimensional, real inner product space has the same characteristic polynomial as $T$ in a coordinate free (so no matrices) way.
Definition of adjoint of endomorphism $T$ on the VS $V$: It's the transformation such that $$\langle T(x), y\rangle = \langle x, T^*(y)\rangle$$ for all $x,y\in V$.
It's easy to show that $(\lambda\ id - T)^* = \lambda\ id - T^*$ where $id$ is the identity transformation but I can't figure out how to either get an explicit expression for $T^*$ or in some other way apply a determinant to a transformation in an inner product.  Any ideas?

Timeline Of Trump And Russia Mid-2016 Shows Parallels In Messaging The June 2016 email chain released by Donald Trump Jr. puts what happened in the spring and summer of that year in a new light.
Timeline Of Trump And Russia In Mid-2016: A Series Of Coincidences Or Something More?
Timeline Of Trump And Russia In Mid-2016: A Series Of Coincidences Or Something More? 7:01
< Timeline Of Trump And Russia In Mid-2016: A Series Of Coincidences Or Something More?
July 17, 20175:00 AM ET
Here's one way to make sense of confusing events in 2016. Put them in a timeline. Today, we know many behind-the-scenes developments, like Donald Trump Jr.'s meeting with a Russian lawyer. NPR's Tamara Keith lined up those events with what happened in public.
TAMARA KEITH, BYLINE: In March of last year, the Russian military intelligence service known as the GRU began rifling through the email accounts and networks of the Democratic Party and other political officials. That's according to the U.S. intelligence community's declassified assessment of Russian interference in the 2016 election.
That same month, a Russian political commentator known variously as Putin's brain and Putin's Rasputin made it clear in a video in English, posted on YouTube, that Russia was officially rooting for Trump.
ALEXANDER DUGIN: Go ahead, Mr. Trump. In Trump we trust.
KEITH: While praising Trump as a non-elitist American who wouldn't make mistakes like invading Iraq, Alexander Dugin had harsh words for Hillary Clinton and the Democratic primary process.
DUGIN: So there is nothing more stupid and fake than the American vote-counting system. It is a disgrace and not a democracy. The majority votes for Sanders but Clinton wins, bribing the electors.
KEITH: A month later, candidate Trump started talking about a system rigged against himself and Bernie Sanders.
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: He wins. And then - you listen to the pundits - but he can't win. You know why? Because it's a rigged system, folks.
KEITH: As the primary process wound to a close, Donald Trump Jr. received the now-notorious email. It came on June 3 from a man linked to a Russian real estate developer the Trumps had partnered with on the 2013 Miss Universe pageant in Moscow. He offered to connect the Trump campaign with people who could supply official Russian documents that would incriminate Hillary Clinton. The offer was said to be part of, quote, "Russia and its government's support for Mr. Trump."
He was traveling, but it only took Trump Jr. 20 minutes to respond, if it's what you say, I love it, especially later in the summer. On June 7, they set a date for Trump campaign officials to meet with someone described in the emails as a Russian government lawyer - and it turns out, several other people connected to Russia. That very day was the end of the 2016 Republican presidential primaries.
TRUMP: You've given me the honor to lead the Republican Party to victory this fall.
TRUMP: We're going to do it. We're going to do it, folks. We're going to do it.
KEITH: In his speech to supporters that night, Trump teased an attack on Clinton.
(SOUNDBITE OF SPEECH)
TRUMP: I am going to give a major speech, on probably Monday of next week, and we're going to be discussing all of the things that have taken place with the Clintons. I think you're going to find it very informative and very, very interesting.
(CHEERING)
KEITH: When asked whether this had anything to do with what was promised in the email chain, a spokesman for President Trump's outside legal team said the candidate was not aware of and did not attend the meeting.
Two days later, on June 9, the meeting happened at Trump Tower - with Donald Trump Jr., the campaign chairman at the time, Paul Manafort, and Jared Kushner, Trump's son-in-law, now a top White House adviser - all in attendance. In defending the meeting, Trump Jr. told Sean Hannity on Fox News that the Russians didn't deliver the goods.
(SOUNDBITE OF TV SHOW, "HANNITY")
DONALD TRUMP JR.: It was literally just a waste of 20 minutes, which was a shame.
KEITH: Candidate Trump's major speech about Hillary Clinton didn't materialize that Monday. The Pulse nightclub shooting happened over the weekend and briefly changed the focus of the campaign. Something else happened that weekend that seemed sort of insignificant at the time. In an interview with the British ITV, Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks, gave a preview of what was to come.
(SOUNDBITE OF TV SHOW, "PESTON ON SUNDAY")
JULIAN ASSANGE: We have upcoming leaks in relation to Hillary Clinton, which is great. We actually have a - WikiLeaks has a very big year.
ROBERT PESTON: So - but some of the ones that have not yet come into the public domain, you are planning to put out?
ASSANGE: Yeah, we have emails related to Hillary Clinton which are pending publication. That is correct.
KEITH: Assange and WikiLeaks have long had an ideological affinity and close ties with Russia. The U.S. intelligence assessment says the Russian intelligence agency GRU delivered to WikiLeaks a trove of DNC emails, and those taken from Democratic officials like Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta.
On June 22, Trump finally delivered a speech going after Clinton and her family's foundation. But it was just a greatest-hits version of previous attacks he'd made against her.
That brings us to July 2016, a pivotal month in the campaign. We now know it's also when the FBI began investigating possible ties between the Trump campaign and Russia. In Cleveland on July 21, one year ago this coming weekend...
TRUMP: This is the legacy of Hillary Clinton - death, destruction, terrorism and weakness.
KEITH: President Trump closed out the GOP convention. The next morning, WikiLeaks posted nearly 20,000 emails hacked from the DNC. The emails contain damaging information that confirmed the narrative that Democratic leaders preferred Hillary Clinton over Bernie Sanders. The revelations roiled the Democratic convention that began just three days later. Trump tweeted about the DNC hack repeatedly, including this. The new joke in town is that Russia leaked the disastrous DNC emails, which should never have been written - stupid - because Putin likes me.
On July 27, a reporter asked Trump if he would call on Putin to stay out of the election. Why should I tell Putin what to do, he answered.
TRUMP: Let me tell you. It's not even about Russia, or China or whoever it is that's doing the hacking. It was about the things that were said in those emails. They were terrible things.
KEITH: Rather than condemn the hacking at his press conference, Trump seemingly encouraged Russia to keep going.
(SOUNDBITE OF PRESS CONFERENCE)
TRUMP: Russia, if you're listening, I hope you're able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing. I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press. Let's see if that happens. That'll be next.
KEITH: After that, a reporter pressed Trump on whether he had any qualms about asking a foreign government to interfere, to hack.
TRUMP: Nope, gives me no pause. If they have them, they have them. We might as well find...
KEITH: The 30,000 personal emails deleted from Clinton's private server never have surfaced publicly. But in early October, WikiLeaks began posting internal Clinton campaign emails. And they were rewarded mightily with a constant stream of negative stories about Clinton. Part of what investigators are trying to determine is whether all these things are connected or just dots on a timeline in a busy and strange election year.

WWE Survivor Series 2002: The first-ever Elimination Chamber
With Crown Jewel now in the books, attention turns to Survivor Series and Wargames' main roster debut. Fittingly, 20 years ago another WWE match was unveiled at the event, Elimination Chamber.
Formation of elimination chamber
Why was the Elimination Chamber match set up in the storyline?
Who will be in the first Elimination Chamber match?
What happened in the match?
Elimination Chamber was a major success but has since weakened
Eric Bischoff was credited for the "genius creative" in the storyline, which was actually WWE's current head of creative, Triple H, who built the Elimination Chamber idea, which he later admitted was half the size of the structure.
It combined elements of Hell in a Cell, Royal Rumble, and Wargames (which were only seen in WCW at the time) with an enclosed cage, countdown timer, and Superstars' entrances.
There were also elements of the traditional Survivor Series match, which would have been more fitting to debut at the titular event in November 2002.
At the time, Raw General Manager Eric Bischoff was engaged in a storyline battle for brand supremacy with his SmackDown counterpart Stephanie McMahon, which saw the pair constantly try and one-up each other.
After SmackDown delivered a Hell in a Cell match between WWE Champion Brock Lesnar and The Undertaker at No Mercy months earlier, the main-event of the show, Bischoff knew he had to respond with something spectacular.
Eric Bischoff and Stephanie McMahon were feuding
He announced that the inaugural Elimination Chamber match was for the Survivor Series title and the World Heavyweight Championship.
As a result of this and other booking decisions, 2002 was the second Survivor Series event to have no classic elimination matchups to that point.
The match pitted six of Raw's top superstars against each other. Triple H was the World Champion, gifted the Big Gold Belt by Bischoff in early September, and was the No.1 contender to the WWE Championship, which was held as a SmackDown-exclusive.
His five challengers came in the shape of Rob Van Dam, Chris Jericho, Kane, Booker T and Shawn Michaels. The latter had not appeared since a non-sanctioned return match with The Game at SummerSlam in late August, where, despite winning, he left on a stretcher after a brutal sledgehammer attack.
Van Dam and Kane battled for the World Title at the previous two PPVs, which became customary after Triple H's heel turn and subsequent alliance with Ric Flair.
The first Elimination Chamber match was stacked
Booker T wanted to capture the belt for a sixth time, he was a 5-time WCW Champion (which he never failed to mention) and Jericho was referring to himself as "King of the World" at the time, so his confidence was high.
Oddly enough, Jericho and Triple H teamed up quite a bit in the weeks leading up to the event, both of whom were now bad guys. They were previously embroiled in a fierce rivalry, which saw them defeat Triple H at WrestleMania and Y2J at Hell in a Cell over the summer. Wrestling logic.
The match began with Triple H squaring off against RVD while the other four men were locked in their holding pods. After Booker T and Jericho entered the fold, the match really heated up and the fans watched the Elimination Chamber.
The highlight of the match was when RVD climbed to the top of the pod and delivered an intense Five Star Frog Splash to the prone champion. The pod didn't allow for a full jump, resulting in Van Dam legitimately damaging The Game's throat.
RVD was soon eliminated by Booker T, who was then eliminated from proceedings by Jericho and the Lionsault. His departure coincided with the arrival of the final two fighters, Kane and HBK, with the former quickly gaining control and dropping the latter with a chokeslam.
Shawn Michaels won the first Elimination Chamber match
As the big man in the match, Kane soon followed suit. He was eliminated following Sweet Chin Music, Pedigree and another Lionsault by Jericho. Jericho followed up with another superkick from Michaels.
It just gave way to Triple H and Michaels and another chapter in their storied history and budding rivalry. In just his second match in four years, HBK finally bested The Game once again, providing fans with a fairytale finish as Michaels won the world title five years after winning his previous title at the same event. It was a Montreal screwjob, but it was liberating.
The success of the debut Elimination Chamber made it one of WWE's exclusive matches and was produced exclusively by the Raw brand for the next few years when the storyline dictated it.
Later, like Hell in a Cell and SmackDown vs. Raw at Survivor Series, the match became an annual event to settle major feuds and angles. In 2010, Elimination Chamber became a PPV event and the match announcement lost its luster.
Triple H is making big changes
With Triple H doing away with tired brand dominance battles and moving to more storyline focused wargames matches and creating the idea of Elimination Chamber, there is hope that he can revolutionize this match and bring it back to its former glory.

MANILA, Philippines (4th UPDATE) – Declaring him persona non grata, the Kuwaiti government ordered Philippine Ambassador to Kuwait Renato Villa to leave within a week, state-run Kuwait News Agency reported Wednesday, April 25.
The Kuwaiti government cited the "undiplomatic acts by Philippine embassy staff" after they rescued abused overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) in Kuwait.
Kuwait also recalled its ambassador to the Philippines, Saleh Ahmad Althwaikh, "for consultation."
"The Kuwaiti Foreign Ministry announced on Wednesday that it had notified the Philippine Ambassador Renato Villa that he is persona non grata in the country, asking him to return home in a week," said the Kuwait News Agency.
"The ministry, which also declared recalling the State of Kuwait Ambassador to the Philippines for consultation, said its action against the top Filipino envoy was in retaliation for undiplomatic acts by Philippine embassy staff, encouraging Filipino domestic workers to flee employers' households," the state-run outlet said.
In a statement past midnight on Thursday, April 26, the Philippine Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) said Kuwait's action is "deeply disturbing."
"The action taken by the Kuwaiti Government is deeply disturbing as it is inconsistent with the assurances given by Kuwaiti Ambassador Musaed Saleh Ahmad Althwaikh during his meeting with Secretary Alan Peter S. Cayetano in Manila on Tuesday," the DFA said.
"The Department will ask Ambassador Saleh to explain first thing tomorrow why the Kuwaiti Government reneged on the agreement reached with him to work together to move bilateral relations between the Philippines and Kuwait forward," added the DFA.
The Kuwaiti government issued the expulsion order after it protested the Philippine embassy's rescue of abused OFWs in Kuwait.
The Kuwait rescue operations went viral through a video released by the DFA.

Dow plunges again, Friedman fans despair
Despite the best efforts of the Federal Reserve to follow the economic prescriptions of Milton Friedman, nothing is working. But Keynes' stock is rising.
Check out this article! https://www.salon.com/2008/12/01/milton_friedman_and_the_dow/
Andrew Leonard
It would be tempting to blame Ben Bernanke's bleak assessment of the current economic situation, in a speech in Austin, Texas, on Monday, for yet another debilitating market swoon -- the Dow closed down 679.95 points -- but it would also be unfair, even if the most precipitous portion of the plummet came after he finished speaking. As I noted earlier today, there are plenty of good solid reasons for investor despair right now, and we don't need downbeat pronouncements from the Fed chair to make us feel any gloomier. Sorry to say, but a 680 point drop in the Dow is a quite rational response to the current crisis.
Nonetheless, there was an interesting tidbit in Bernanke's speech that could inspire despair in a segment of the population that probably overlaps quite neatly with fat cat investors: the beleaguered acolytes of Milton Friedman.
On Saturday, Paul Krugman noted that Friedman's greatest contribution to the economic corpus, "A Monetary History of the United States," co-written with Anna Schwartz, argued that the Great Depression could have been averted if the Federal Reserve had moved more quickly to expand "the monetary base" (which Krugman defines as currency plus bank reserves). But Krugman observes that in this crisis, the Fed has been "spectacularly aggressive" in expanding the monetary base and so far, "it doesn't seem to be working."
(UPDATE: In the original version of this post I embarassingly confused Schwartz with Rose Friedman, Milton's wife, with whom he co-wrote "Freedom to Choose.")
"I think the thesis of the Monetary History has just taken a hit," writes Krugman.
In Bernanke's speech on Monday, he talked about the speed with which the Fed had lowered interest rates.
By way of historical comparison, this policy response stands out as exceptionally rapid and proactive. In taking these actions, we aimed not only to cushion the direct effects of the financial turbulence on the economy, but also to reduce the risk of a so-called adverse feedback loop in which economic weakness exacerbates financial stress, which, in turn, leads to further economic damage. Unfortunately, despite the support provided by monetary policy, the intensification of the financial turbulence this fall has led to a further deterioration in the economic outlook.
In other words, despite being "exceptionally rapid and proactive," the Fed's effort doesn't seem to be working.
Expanding the monetary base and lowering interest rates aren't exactly the same thing, but they are both monetary policy tools employed to goose an economy into expansionary action. So the lesson to be drawn from their simultaneous failure is identical. Monetary policy alone will not get the U.S. back on the right economic track. Massive government spending is back in fashion, as are the theories of John Maynard Keynes, whose star went into eclipse as Friedman's ascended ever higher.
And that's a topic we will be returning to in considerably more detail as the weeks go by.

Anyone remember AutoSampler by Redmatica? About ten years ago it was the tool for complex sample management and (as the name suggests) automagically sampling all your keyboards into a software sampler. Apple bought Redmatica in 2012, so the capability now only exists as part of MainStage.
Thankfully we have SampleRobot, the modern functional equivalent. At NAMM they showed a version designed specifically to work with Montage, the do-it-all flagship PCM and FM synth from Yamaha. The application is the same: If you have precious vintage analog keyboards you don't want to take on the road, SampleRobot will record them into Montage-compatible performances so your Montage is all you need. It sends MIDI notes to the synth to play all needed notes and velocities (hence the MIDI-to-CV converter atop the Yamaha speaker in the video, as they were demonstrating with a pre-MIDI Yamaha CS-15). Then, it handles all of your keymapping, velocity layering, looping (if desired), and crossfades for you. Deep editing capabilities are also provided.
Enjoy this demo and more to come from NAMM 2018!

PM: 20% oil royalty will 'kill' Petronas
Tuesday, September 18th, 2018 at Business | News
By TMR / Pic By MUHD AMIN NAHARUL
The petroleum royalty quantum to be distributed to the respective states must not lead to the demise of the country's energy company, Petroliam Nasional Bhd (Petronas), said Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.
The prime minister (PM) yesterday said Petronas' strength must be maintained before deciding to pay Sabah a 20% royalty.
"We don't want to kill Petronas. Petronas is a unique company in the world because it is the only national company that goes into exploration, development, production and petrochemical, and people all over the world are asking Petronas to do work in their country.
"So, (if) we reduce Petronas to just collecting royalty, then we will lose a lot of things," he said, according to national news agency Bernama.
The petroleum royalty has become a controversial issue with states like Sabah, which is demanding the 20% royalty payment. Pakatan Harapan, in its election manifesto, promised a 20% royalty payment for the resource producing states. Previously, oil and gas producing states were allocated 5%.
High oil revenues had helped to shift the balance of power, especially in Sabah, to the Opposition during the general election in May. Local issues, high cost of living and foreign immigrants have also helped the Opposition to secure the seats to rule Sabah.
Dr Mahathir said the government will relook the current royalty rate of 5% given to Sabah.
There is confusion now whether the royalty payment should be based on profit or total revenue. Certain quarters have said sticking to the proposed 20% royalty payment from revenue would hurt Petronas as the state-owned company's cost per barrel is already high.
Petronas is one of Malaysia's best conglomerate, registering in the Forbes list of the world's largest companies based on profitability and among the highest based on net profit against staff count.
The government is already forming a special committee to study the mechanism of petroleum royalty payment to oilproducing states.
The committee will help the government decide whether the 20% will be based on production revenue, gross profit or net profit derived from a particular state.
The committee is given six months from the date of its formation to present its report to the government.
The Petroleum Development Act 1974, which governs the country's oil producing sector, denotes that the royalty calculation is based on gross profit and not based on net profit.

France has also decided to take the same approach citing the same reasons.
Many schools in the U.S. and around the world have already done this as well.
Research and media reports continue to confirm that we can't expect all children to practice discipline with their phones and other digital devices. We can't expect it from all adults either. These devices and their software was deliberately designed to be addictive. Many tech inventors have expressed remorse for their role in this.
Research has also confirmed that cell phone and other sources of wireless WiFi radiation exposure can cause a multitude of health issues including increased cancer risk and disrupting the blood-brain barrier which can cause it to leak. Exposure is especially hard on children. No safe level of exposure has yet been scientifically determined for children or pregnant women.
Over the years, many medical professionals and organizations have encouraged limiting children's exposure to all sources of wireless WiFi radiation and other sources of electrical pollution (aka Electrosmog). This is why many schools are also replacing WiFi with wired Internet.
Cell phone companies have been warning shareholders – not consumers – about health risks and potential lawsuits based on harm caused by their products. Tech companies continue to design and market their products to everyone from cradle to grave anyway.
Unsafe tech use is regularly portrayed in TV, film, and marketing campaigns as well – even for prescription medications.

A coal bin, coal store or coal bunker is a storage container for coal awaiting use or transportation. This can be either in domestic, commercial or industrial premises, or on a ship or locomotive tender, or at a coal mine or processing plant.

Domestic coal bunkers are associated with the use of coal in open fires or for solid-fuel central heating. Free-standing bunkers were commonly made of wood or concrete and are currently sold in materials including plastic or galvanised metal.  Coal bins or bunkers could also form an outhouse or be partly or fully underground.

Coal bins form or formed part of industrial plants, and were found on steam ships.

In this article, I will be discussing how to do keyword research for search engine optimization to drive the most traffic to your website. When I first started doing keyword research I had no idea what metrics to look for. I would just type in a search term that I thought sounded good and made sense and there was my keyword.
What I found is that my posts were not getting ranked for the search terms that I had selected but I had no idea why. I figured that plenty of people were looking for the keyword that I selected because the one thing that I understood on the keyword research tool was the search traffic, I had no idea what the other numbers represented.
So, this post will break down everything you need to know about effective keyword research, so you can avoid making the same mistakes I made.
First off, you need to know what customers you are trying to target, what they want/need, and you want to catch them in the buying cycle. You can tell by the keywords that they are searching for where they are exactly in the buying cycle.
The first that you need before you get started is a keyword and research tool. The best keyword and research tool is Jaaxy. It is packed with the metrics that you need to build a keyword list with phrases that will get you ranked for the keywords you are targeting. In addition, there is a cool feature called SiteRank which enables you to check out where your posts are ranked in Google, Bing, and Yahoo. Check out my Jaaxy review now.
I have listed the steps that you need to take below.
The first thing that you want to do is compile a list of keywords that are relevant to your blog topic(s) related to your business or products that you want to promote. This list should be more than a couple of keyword terms, it should include as many search terms that you can think of. Initially, this list will be broad and have high competition but don't worry about that right now. With the help of the keyword research tool, Jaaxy you will narrow this down in a bit.
If you need help with ideas, you can go right to Google and type in your keywords. As you type, Google will have a short drop-down list of words and phrases that changed based on what you type. This feature is called auto-suggest and is very useful when it comes to finding an array of keywords.
If you are using the Jaaxy research and keyword tool you can use the alphabet soup feature which is an automated version of Google's auto-suggest.
By now you should have a substantial list of keywords related to your product or business. Select the keywords that are the most relevant to your product or business. These will be the ones that you are wanting to target in your posts and articles.
First, put yourself in the customer's shoes and ask yourself what terms would you most likely search for? You will be plugging these terms into your keyword research tool.
In the next step, you will be researching these phrases to check the number of searches your selected keyword produces and the number of websites that are competing for this phrase. This is very important. This will determine if you will be able to rank for this term or not. That is the importance of the keyword research tool, it provides metrics you need to rank for the keywords you choose.
Next, you take the keyword phrases that you selected and plug them into your keyword research tool. Depending on the tool that you are using, columns may have different headings. For this example, I will start with the phrase dog products.
The list of keywords that appears will consist of phrases related to the initial keyword, however a bit more specific. Take a look at the screenshot below.
Do you see how dog products have 887 searches per month, over 400 websites competing for this phrase, and SEO is 6. So this is not the best search phrase. The likelihood that I will rank for this term is low. Jaaxy even tells me this is a poor search phrase so I have to narrow it down a bit. The SEO should be as close to 100 as possible. There is no way that I am using dog products as my targeted keyword!
SEO – Score based on traffic and competition. The higher the number, the more likely I will rank on the 1st page in Google.
As you can see, Jaaxy is an awesome keyword research tool that makes it so easy to select and target keywords that will produce results.
Looking at the keyword options and metrics, I would select lupine dog products, halo dog products, and organic dog products. Even though the average monthly searches are not the highest on this list, I am more likely to rank on the 1st page of Google for these. If my site is not new and has more authority, then I would target the phrases discount dog products and dog products online.
The reason I say this is that these search terms are more specific, so people searching for these phrases are further along in the buying cycle than someone searching for a broader phrase like dog products.
For now, let's look more closely at lupine dog products. See how there are over 72 searches per month, only 11 websites competing for this phrase, and the SEO is 96. Now, I am more likely to rank for this term so that would be the one that I will target for my post. Easy enough right?
Well, that's keyword research in a nutshell. You want to be sure to put your targeted keyword in the first paragraph and last paragraph of your article. Also, you want to put a couple of keywords throughout your article, however, make sure your words and paragraphs flow naturally because Google does not like keyword stuffing and neither will your readers.
Jaaxy makes keyword research so simple you will enjoy doing it. Go ahead and try it now.
Well, I have shown you how to do keyword research for SEO purposes. If you use the strategies above, you should have no problem ranking for the keywords that you are targeting. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to ask or comment below. If you have anything to add please feel free to do so.
Very thorough article on keyword research for search engine optimization.
Anybody come across this article will gain much value and fresh ideas.
Thank you for your feedback, I am glad you liked the article. I have learned the hard way and lost great ideas due to not writing them down, so now I write everything down immediately. It does truly help.
I have found that using the Jaaxy Keyword and Research tool has helped tremendously when it comes to my keyword research. In addition to the wealth of stats about keyword competition and traffic, there is also a place where you can save your keyword lists in Jaaxy.
If you are not using Jaaxy for your keyword research I suggest your start. It has made the difference between not ranking for a keyword and ranking on page 1 of Google. Best of luck to you with your keyword research!
Yes, doing keyword research is basically essential if you want to succeed with your website. Jaaxy is the perfect tool that makes it really simple to do the keyword search! I've tried quite a few tools, but they were a bit complicated. Not that I couldn't use them, but Jaaxy is perfect for everyone, because of its simplicity.
I am I total agreement; keyword research is a requirement for your website to be successful. Without the keyword research, you are totally blind as to where your articles will be ranked and what kind of an audience even cares about what you are writing about.
I have also used several different keyword research tools and none of them compare to Jaaxy.
Thank you for visiting and taking the time to comment on my article, I hope you enjoyed it.
Hi, I also love to work with Jaaxy.
You are right with all your points. High monthly searches, low competition AND a high SEO quality number. This is something many people underestimate.
A keyword with an SEO number under 80 is not worth using.
If you have lost or forgot a good keyword, Jaaxy also remembers all your searches forever. With the history tool you can find keywords and alphabet soup results you've done a long time ago and thought you'll not need them.
Something else I would like to recommend is to use the same keywords you use on your post title and first paragraph, in the post meta description and in all social media publications you make for this post.
It is also good to use the keyword as alt text for one of the featured pics in the same post. Like this, your pic will rank under the keyword and can attract some traffic to the article.
Thank you for taking the time to read my article and leave a comment. Jaaxy is an awesome keyword and research tool, we are very lucky to have a free membership as Wealthy Affiliate members.
I did just recently notice that Jaaxy does keep your search history, however I did not realize the history was endless. Thank you for your contribution regarding adding the keywords in the meta description and social media publications.
It does make sense to have the keyword in the alt text, although this is not something that I usually do. You learn something new every day!


I have been a big fan of NUnit coupled with Resharper. Both of them combined, just provide a friction free development, thus encouraging myself to write more unit tests.However, being a part of the team, I have to make sure that my tests can also be run by other people. The decision was made to use VSTS Testing Tools. So today I had to migrate my Unit tests from NUnit to VSTS.
The biggest problem was to convert the Visual Studio project from a 'normal' class library, to a VSTS Test Project. This needs to be done, otherwise all the test methods inside the project will not be 'detected' as test cases.
[SetupTestFixture] into [ClassInitialize], etc ..
why would you though??? WHY?
Yes, it was a stupid move. I regret it so much. Then again, by adding the NUnit tags back in, the project then can be read by both framework.

Utilitarian Argument on Capital Punishment Introduction Capital punishment is a form of punishment in the legal justice system that entail deliberate actions directed towards taking the life of a person found guilty of a capital offense The Guardian, 2011. In the United States, capital offenses include; first degree murder, treason, espionage, and murder during a robbery among others.
The United States is one of the countries where capital punishment is still a popular form of punishment. It is estimated that a total of 504 people were sentenced to death between 2007 and 2009.
Out of the 504 people that were handed the death sentence, 220 were executed The Guardian, 2011. China is the leading country in the world when it comes to capital punishment. It is estimated that China executed 5000 people in 2009.
Various ethical arguments have been advanced for and against the capital punishment. Utilitarian is one the ethical perspective that supports the death sentence. This discusses how the utilitarian ethical perspective supports the capital punishment. However, ethic is an extremely elusive concept. It is difficult to determine the basis for classifying whether an action or a given practice is right or wrong. Various theories have been generated to provide the basis for classifying the moral position of given actions or behaviors.
One of these theories is the utilitarian theory. Utilitarian ethics judges the morality of an action or a given practice based on the outcome of the action on the society Stanford Encyclopedia, 2009.
Utilitarian ethics suggest the an action that present the most benefits to the society is right,and one the present more harm than good is wrong. The morality of action is understood based on the consequences only. This ethical principle is also known as consequential ethics.
Thus, actions that translate to benefits to a large number of people are considered to be morally right even though a few people may suffer from these actions. According to utilitarian ethic, an ethical act is one that contributes to a greater balance of happiness. Utilitarian Arguments on Capital Punishment The most common utilitarian argument that has been used in support of capital punishment is that it prevents crime for being repeated thus improving the safety and security of the general public.
Capital offenses have serious implication on society. Murder causes loss of life, grief, economic disruption in a family and loss to the general economy. Statistics have revealed the cyclic nature of the crime environment. People who commit a crime for the first time are likely to commit the same crime in the future. Thus, people who commit murder are likely to commit other murders in the future if their actions are not controlled.
Capital purnishment helps to keep the society safe by ensuring the people with such undesirable behaviors are eliminated from society. Though the capital punishment lead to loss of life of the offender and grief to his family, it presents benefit to a large number capital punishment utilitarian ethics point of view people who are protected from murder.
Capital punishment also deters would-be offenders from committing a capital offense. Opponents of capital punishment argue that the utilitarian goal described in the previous paragraph can be achieved through life imprisonment rather than the use of capital punishment. However, capital punishment presents another benefit to society besides preventing the repeat of crime.
Capital punishment deters people from committing crime. Behaviorist psychologists have found out that human behaviors can be influenced through a set of reward and punishment.
Punishment deters individuals from pursuing the act associated with the punishment while a reward encourages an individual to pursue the action associated with the reward. The severity of punishment has a greater impact in deterring an individual from pursuing the action associated with the punishment. When it comes to crime, individuals are least likely to commit a given crime when this crime is associated with a severe punishment.
Thus, the death penalty provides benefit to the society by deterring a significant portion of the population from committing capital crimes. Though a few people have to be executed in order to acquire the deterrence effect, a large number of people are able to enjoy safety and security.
Capital punishment also reduces the cost of incarceration. Similarly, the argument by the opponents of capital punishment that the utilitarian goal can be realized through life imprisonment is water down by the fact that life imprisonment has significant financial implication on society. Life imprisonment means that the government has to build high security prison, hire more guards and meet the cost of providing capital offenders with their basic needs.
This cost will increase drastically if the system is compelled to accommodate capital offenders. Capital punishment also helps to provide closure to crime victims and restore harmony in society.
Restoration is one of the most significant objectives of the criminal justice system Merideth, 2009. Capital crime disrupts the harmony that previously existed in a given society. A murder leaves members of the family in pain and with a sense of injustice. It also leaves the members of the community with anger and a sense of injustice.
Victims of crime and the community members expect the perpetrator of crime to receive punishment of equal magnitude as the crime committed.
A light punishment will not distort the feeling of anger and pain among the victims of crime. Societies without sound justice systems experience high levels of lawlessness because victims of crime take justice into their hands. Some crime victims seek to avenge the death of a loved one by hurting the perpetrator or his family. Such action elicits counter actions from the recipients leading to a chain of violence and disorder.
In some case, light punishment elicits civil unrest and protest among members of the affected community. Zimmerman case is an excellent example of how the decision of the criminal justice system can disrupt harmony and order within a given society. In this case, a protest erupted after Zimmerman, who was accused of murdering Trayvon Martin, was acquitted of the crime Nagourney, 2013. In the utilitarian perspective, the best decision would have been to give Zimmerman a guilty verdict. Though this verdict would have resulted in a negative consequence for one man, it would have present positive consequence for many people.
Capital punishment enables a given community to avoid such a scenario by providing victims of crime with a sense of justice. Victims of capital offenses found it easy to move capital punishment utilitarian ethics point of view when they feel that the perpetrator of the crime has received a deserving punishment. Conclusion Capital punishment is still a popular practice in many countries despite strong opposition from various quotas.
Whether this form of punishment is ethical still remain a contentious subject. Several ethical theories have been used to support or oppose the existence of capital punishment.
The utilitarian ethics is one of the theories that have been used in the capital punishment debates. Utilitarian ethics judges the morality of an action based on its consequences to society. Any action that presents more benefits than costs to the society is considered as righteous. Based on this argument,utilitarian ethic tends to support capital punishment.
Capital punishment maximizes benefits to society by ensuring that crime are not repeated, deterring crime, reducing the cost of incarceration, and restoring peace and harmony in the society. References The Guardian 2011.
