Virgin Money International Money Transfer has returned as a Flying Club partner – but only for a few months.
If you try this service now you can get 3000 Virgin Atlantic miles when making your first transaction.
Note the slightly confusing deadlines for this.
This is not necessarily a 'no brainer' deal. The miles are worth around £30 at best and you need to transfer £1000. If the Virgin rates are close to Azimo then you may come out on top but you should definitely do the maths first – the banks are not known for their great rates.
PPS. Virgin Money is also taking over the Virgin Atlantic credit cards which will be relaunched early in 2018.
Thanks Harry, save me the hassle. Have my ISA to cancel next month which might be a last roll of the dice on that given the new 12 month condition. Hopefully the new credit cards will be worthwhile but not very optimistic.
If V ISA T&Cs remain as at the latest version, I don't plan on doing it. I'll actually invest now my LTV on mortgage has hit a nice figure for renewal.
do you reckon we can just leave a nominal £1 in the V ISA after 6 months? I wonder what would happen if you did that then fees ate up the £1?
Morning Snuffles, nice to put a face to you man 🙂 Biggest downside for us unable to attend is not being able to know folks personally and HFP starts to feel like it has an inner and outer circle. Also nice to spot a guy I know in the pics from first party post.
Do we have to keep this last ISA open for 12 months ? My last payment is due at the end of this month?
Has anyone received the 1000 Virgin Miles for auto converting their Tesco a/c yet? I had it diraried for 13/12 to check.
@Liz, your cancelattion date would suggest you are on 6 month term, I think it was just that latest offer in last few months that changed to 12. Hope you enjoyed your visit to London and not adversely affected by weather.
@Liz. It sounds like you opened the account similar time to me. I have just withdrawn cash after the 6 monthly DD payment. The account had already been open 6 months. I'll formally close it later this month.
Thanks for replies – I will see if I can find out which T&Cs apply before I do anything.
@JamesB – good trip to London. Went down by train on Monday and we were only 20 mins late getting in – missed all the flying chaos. Back in style yesterday 1st class booked in the Virgin sale – paid a quarter of the price the lady opposite paid and she was only going to Newcastle – was very nice! Enjoyed our anniversary and birthday celebrations in the big city despite the cold! Travels over for 2017 – countdown to Oz in May!
Just spent ages on to Amex online chat – we had 10 manual SS credits added this morning – without any chasing from me – I was going to phone them today. They are currently working on manual credits from 2-5 Dec I was told. Had to get them to confirm which credits I received as there is no info against the credit. Now missing 10 out of 44 transactions – 9 from 1 shop that is on the list and I have used the past 2 years but no emails received and one deli not on the list but they were a small shop which took Amex. So getting there slowly with mine. They said they are working on it. I reported back that out of 44 transactions I only got 11 auto emails and 11 auto credits – so if that is happening to everyone taking part they have an awful lot of checking and manual credits to get through.
@TRH1, probably not a good idea to alert them to it or T&C may change again. Better just try it to see if it works.
@Liz, glad it went well. Agree on train first class, so much more relaxing and enjoyable than taking the plane.Rge difference between standard and first on a deal is a lost wiped out by food and drinks provided plus the lounge too.
Slightly O/T: Does anyone know how Virgin Atlantic release rewards seats? Are they like BA where a certain amount of seats are released for each cabin att-355?
I am hoping to get a family of four to the US West Coast in Summer 2019 and am wondering what Premium Economy availability will be like. I'm tempted to forget abour Flying club (and the hassle of trying to find seats) and just book the cheapest cash fare on whichever airline fits my need. Any thoughts?
I looked a few weeks ago and lots of availability to San Fran over LA for Aug 18.
I used to get very frustrated with it to HKG, on that route I was finding better availability about 3 or 6 months out. Was not like BA at all. Have you considere option of BA on a380 into SFO or the recently discussed service to Oakland? If either of those work you could convert the Virgin miles to Hilton to cover hotels.
Cash fares for the West Coast have been extremely competitive lately. Especially if you're flexible as to which airport there you land in. Definitely worth checking cash fares out as seen many offers for summer. That way you'll earn miles rather than spending them but up to you.
Thanks for all your replies – am coming round the opinion of benefitting from the competitive cash fares for flights and using the FC miles for hotels or (preferably) a rainy day trip!
oh I see TFFT has a reward flight and got the 2000 Avios gift!
Tipoff for you guys. Lebara money transfer accepts Curve, and Curve recognises Lebara as a Business Service rather than a money transfer service. I recently transferred £3k and got an excellent rate with Lebara (much better than Virgin Money Transfer) and £3k virgin miles. The only limitation I found was that you can use Lebara to send money to Europe and India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nigeria and Ghana.
Hi Gulz, nice tip to use Curve on Lebara. Do you have a Lebara money referral link to share?
It appears that Lebara Money no longer accepts Curve, I tried. Debit or pre-paid cards are the only forms of payment.
Sure it's been mentioned a few times here, but of course American Express International Payments allow you to collect Membership Rewards. Not a huge amount and a few restrictions, but they all add up, and in recent weeks their rate has been better than our other international payment providers. Happy to refer!

The pause before the storm.
Last night was our last opportunity to catch up on laundry, spend some time at home, and recharge our batteries before we jump into tech, followed closely thereafter by production week. The cast may have sensed that things are about to shift into high gear as we had two additional faces at the production table during rehearsal on Sunday: Alan Roberts, director of Keyano Theatre & Arts Centre and lighting designer for Hometown, and Darren O'Donnell, the projections designer who has joined us all the way from New Brunswick.
Tonight will be the last time we run the show in the rehearsal hall, desperately trying to "hug some wall" to make room for other actors and set pieces to fly off and on the stage. The tape on the floor, marking the location and size of the platform, proscenium and apron will get supplanted by the real deal on Wednesday, as we officially move on to the main stage.
There is a mystical quality about migrating to the actual deck. We will pass through the loading dock, turning left from the scene shop - carefully cleaned in preparation for the arrival of the ensemble, between the curtains on stage right, past the proscenium, down the stairs leading into the house, and into the theatre seats. As we cluster as a group, usually in the third and fourth rows - likely more this time around as our group is five times as large as normal - we will get our first glimpse of the set.
Even though it is carefully designed and constructed, there are always unseen potential hazards and safety protocols that need to be understood before walking the set for the first time. That's a job that falls on Nick Beach, production manager. Normally, the group gathered around for the safety speech has heard it before, having usually appeared in other productions. When the masses gathered for Hometown...The Musical! hear the safety song and dance, for many it will be the first time. It should be interesting, as there are little rules and traditions that us old-timers take for granted that will shared.
A few things that jump to mind include:
Never touch the cyc, or cyclorama - the big off-white fabric that usually runs the length and height of the stage near the back wall. The material is very sensitive and any mark left by passing fingers will potentially show.
Never, never, never go up the winding stairs behind the proscenium wall stage left. This is an access to the fly grid many feet above that is to be used only by the technical crew.
Never stand under ladders, especially near the back door upstage right, as crew could come flying down at any moment and step on your head.
There aren't a lot of nevers and don'ts, but there are a few. The message we'll get is that the safety of each and every person is top priority. By the time we hit the end of Act One on opening night, we'll be able to safely and confidently escape the stage in the dark. At least, that's the goal.
When Nick is done, Steph (stage manager) will say a few words, then invite and encourage the ensemble to walk the set, getting a feel for the escape stairs, platform, and myriad other things that will need to be understood. Then we will likely hear "Places for the top of Act One," and jump into the first run in this hallowed space.
There is a word that pops into my head when we first move into the main theatre with a production. It never fails to reveal itself, though I struggled to remember it this morning while writing this. My hands seemed to remember what my brain could not, forming themselves into a bowl.
Crucible. It finally came to me.
The theatre is a crucible, a vessel, a container that that enables unforgettable moments, kindles friendships, and inspires creative brilliance. Michael Beamish uses the word "sacred', I say "hallowed", others might say "spiritual", but the essence of the crucible is the the same. We are about to enter the place where the magic happens. I can't wait.

The actress filed for divorce.
Ingeborga Dapkunaite is again in the status of "free." 55-year-old actress recently divorced from her third husband, Dmitry Yampolsky. This information was confirmed in the Transfiguration court, where he was decorated with the divorce of the artist.
The details of the breakup Ingeborga with Dmitry no. We only know that in a divorce, the couple filed at the end of last year, according to mk.ru. Curiously, after that First channel was a documentary about Dapkunaite: "All that is written about me is a lie", where the actress first showed his son, Alex. Surprisingly, the Presenter was able to hide from the press the birth of a boy. Still unknown when exactly the baby was born. It is assumed that Dapkunaite used the services of surrogacy.
Recall that Dapkunaite and Yampolsky were married in 2013. The wedding of the actress with the lawyer was vigorously debated in the press because of the large difference in age between the bride and groom. Ingeborga over the alleged father of her son for 10 years. The wedding ceremony was conducted in England in order to save the newlyweds from the unwanted attention of the paparazzi.

The Best We Can Offer
by Peter Proko; Editor-In-Chief
There's a part in the classic 1990 Steve Martin comedy My Blue Heaven where Martin's mob-affiliated character, who is in the Witness Protection Program, is reunited with several of his cohorts over dinner. They begin lamenting how their new secret suburban lives have cost them some things they once took for granted, and there's a great exchange that goes along these lines:
Last week I drove 43 miles to a restaurant I heard had good marinara sauce.
How was it?
Pleeeease.
The entire table cuts up with deep laughter and it's a great scene in a movie full of them. But, more than that, it illustrates that everyone loves a good recommendation.
A new place to eat, a new place to hang, a contractor for your home; any inside information goes a long way to easing the fears of the unknown. Ultimately we may not agree, but when someone says you have to try something, our instincts aren't typically to run in the other direction.
That's what makes our annual Best of the Best issue so exciting. For 12 months, we scour South Jersey to find the greatest people and places to give our readers our strongest recommendations. Our amazingly dedicated staff spent many long days and even longer evenings doing a lot of legwork—eating, drinking, pampering, shopping and more. It may sound like a good time—and it is—but it's also a lot of hard work that we take extremely seriously.
Starting on page 54, you'll get our picks for everything from French fries to fine jewelry. And we've also given our readers a voice and included their choices in several categories. It's thrilling to be able to present the culmination of our efforts, and believe it or not, we've already started thinking about next year.
But, first things first, while you delve into our Best of the Best selections, there's also a lot of other great content in this issue. You may have noticed our unbelievable cover designed by legendary artist Peter Max. When we found out he was coming to Stone Harbor we thought he might make for a good profile. We expected he'd have a great story to tell (page 70), but we had no idea he would ask us if he could design our cover!
We also sat down with developer Bart Blatstein to hear his ambitious vision to breathe new life into Atlantic City; follow the booming trend of craft distilleries in the area; explore the popularity and controversy surrounding ridesharing apps like Uber and much more.
I guess you could say we can't recommend this issue enough.

\section{Introduction}

Nowadays employers receive hundreds of applications for each open position. It is not possible to manually evaluate each and every application, in fact, it can be a waste of human resources to try doing so. However, the task of determining whether an applicant is suitable for a certain job profile requires human intelligence. There are a multitude of factors which cannot be automated yet, such as evaluation of the candidate's soft skills, accounting for company demands (which vary from time to time), and judging the veracity of the candidate's resume. However, we can automate a part of the process and lower the number of candidates which a human needs to judge. A vital part of the hiring process is to read the candidate's resume and judge whether they are suitable for a particular job description or not. This task is not difficult for a human. Reading and assimilating information from a resume, and comparing it with a job description to judge the suitability of the application is a task most literate humans can perform. Therefore, this task is immensely difficult for a machine to perform. Traditional computer systems fail to recognize the underlying semantic meaning for different resumes. However, the recent progress in machine learning and natural language processing (NLP) techniques means that many tasks can be performed with par-human performance. We can split the task of automating resume shortlisting into two sub-tasks. The first sub-task is parsing the resume, i.e., extracting information in a structured format from the document. The second sub-task is extracting semantic information and actually understanding the underlying information. We can then use this information to perform classification or ranking or matching tasks, as a human would do.
\\
Resumes come in myriad formats, and simply parsing the resume correctly is a very difficult task for a machine. Current approaches normally assume a standard format which they can parse, or assume that the parsed information is available to use for their task. Our dataset comprises two categories of resumes, LinkedIn format and non-LinkedIn generic format.
We use document metadata based heuristic rules to classify a resume as either LinkedIn or non-LinkedIn.
The LinkedIn format resumes are then converted into HTML format. This allows us to extract various style properties for each portion of the resume that would have been lost if we had just converted the PDF to text. Due to the consistent format that LinkedIn resumes follow we are able to extract all the information in the PDF file in a structured manner.
We use the LinkedIn format resumes to train a classifier which converts the non-LinkedIn format to LinkedIn format resumes for data augmentation and data uniformity (for recruiters) purposes. We also create a web application for recruiters to use so that they may parse the resumes and obtain the candidate information in a manipulable format. Our parser extracts 100\% information with no loss of structure from LinkedIn resumes. We have also explored the feasibility of building a resume parser which can parse any resume regardless of the format.

We have created a deep-learning based system which  ranks applicants for job positions based on their suitability to the job description. To achieve this, we use the state of the art language representation model, BERT \cite{devlin2018bert}. BERT has set the state-of-the-art in a large number of NLP tasks. It pre-trains deep bidirectional representations by jointly conditioning on both left and right context in all layers. As a result, the pre-trained BERT representations can be fine-tuned with just one additional output layer to create state-of-the-art models for a particular task without substantial task-specific architecture modifications. We use BERT for sequence classification to classify the segments of text from non-LinkedIn resumes to LinkedIn format sections (Bio, Experience, Education, etc.). We perform job description and candidate suitability ranking by exploiting BERT sequence pair classification of the work experience of the candidates and the job description and using the score as a degree of suitability, allowing us to rank the resumes. In order to simulate domain specific job descriptions we use a candidate's past job experience description as a real job descriptions, as they detail their responsibilities at the job, which is what the job descriptions also contain. Through this method, we establish a strong baseline for candidate-job description suitability ranking.
The layout of the paper is as follows. We discuss related work in section \ref{related} and our system overview in section \ref{method}. The dataset (section \ref{dataset}), results (section \ref{results}) and conclusion (section \ref{conclusion}) follow.
Our contributions through this paper are:
\begin{enumerate}
    \item Exploring the feasibility of building a generic resume parser which performs across different formats
    \item Building a heuristic and BERT based model to convert resumes to a standard format
    \item Building an end-to-end resume parsing and data collection tool for employers in the form of a web application
    \item Ranking resumes as per their suitability to a job description using BERT sequence pair classification
    \end{enumerate}

\section{Related Work} \label{related}
The state of the art tools in information extraction from resumes and hiring process automation are privatized by companies, both as in-house tools and commercial products. As such, although the machine learning era should have resulted in great progress in this field, the best of work done has perhaps not been seen by the research community. The parser that we have made will be made available to the public as a web application.
Most hiring process automation work does not include extracting information from PDFs \cite{kumaran2013towards,yi2007matching,al2012survey}. \cite{chen2016information} focused specifically on information extraction from PDF documents, by first classifying the document into blocks using heuristic methods and then using conditional random fields to label the different blocks. We also follow heuristic methods for classification into blocks for non-LinkedIn resumes, but we then use BERT sequence classification to classify the blocks, which is more powerful technique. Most work \cite{chen2016information,yu2005resume,singh2010prospect,chen2018two} did not extract all the information from the resume, instead focusing on certain portions like personal information and education sections. \cite{lin2016machine} extracted manual and cluster features, training a Chinese word2vec \cite{mikolov2013efficient} and concluding that learning based methods perform better for this task than manual rule based methods. However, embedding models word2vec \cite{mikolov2013efficient} and GloVe \cite{pennington2014glove} have been shown to be less effective for documents \cite{le2014distributed}. The performance also varies from section to section \cite{singh2010prospect}. Previous work has also seen ontology based experiments \cite{kumaran2013towards}, however these have largely been conceptual works. Structured relevance models have also been used to match resumes and jobs \cite{yu2005resume}, however the results were poor, with only one in 35 relevant resumes placed in the top 5 predicted candidates for a job description. \cite{maheshwary2018matching} uses a deep Siamese network \cite{bromley1994signature,chopra2005learning} to match resumes to jobs descriptions. The data collected include nearly three times as many job-descriptions as resumes, and there was no domain restriction for the job descriptions whereas the resumes were all collected from applications to one research position. They also do not deal with information extraction from PDFs.

\section{Method} \label{method}

\subsection{Building a Parser for Generic Resumes} \label{4.1}

Resumes typically have no fixed format. They are semi-structured documents and the layout is entirely up to the creator. Some common formats include a list format, a tabular format, dual-list format, or an unordered blob-based format. We can safely assume that the resume will be in PDF format, as the vast majority of employers mandate this. Different schematics whic non-LinkedIn resumes follow are shown in Figure \ref{fig:datamovement}. Ideally, a PDF created with proper tools will have metadata information such as font size and font type available for each character. However, the vast majority of resumes we came across did not have metadata information available as they were not created with proper tools.
\\
The first step of information extraction from resumes is to extract the text from the PDF document. We use a combination of two tools to convert the PDF document to text.
\begin{itemize}
    \item \href{https://poppler.freedesktop.org/}{pdftohtml}
    \item \href{https://tika.apache.org/}{Apache Tika}
\end{itemize}

Once the raw text (with or without metadata) has been extracted from the PDF, we need to structure the raw text into categories. Humans can tell which part of the text corresponds to headings - using vision based cues such as font size, text placement, and page structure, as well as semantic information which humans naturally capture.
We developed heuristics based on the information which the tools gave us. The two main tasks involved were:
\begin{enumerate}
    \item Extracting spatially consistent text: In list style resumes, the extracted text will be spatially consistent - i.e., the logical flow of the text will match the extracted physical flow of the text. However, for other cases, such as a two-column list format, the logical flow is not the same as the physical flow (left to right across the page). To tackle this issue of the logical flow of text, we built heuristic rules based on the spacing of text across the page. Larger spaces between words on the same horizontal line would indicate inter-column gaps whereas smaller spaces would indicate normal inter-word gaps. The number of inter-word gaps also greatly exceeds the number of inter column gaps.
    Using these heuristic rules we modified the naive physical flow returned by the conversion tools to approximate the true logical flow of the document.
    \item Clustering the extracted text into different headings: Once we have the text in a logical format, we still need to cluster different parts of the text into a fixed set of headings. If the text is logically ordered, then this is a matter of identifying the different headings in the body of the text and using these to partition the text into different segments.
\end{enumerate}
Apart from these heuristic rules, we also attempted to use vision based techniques to identify tables and section boundaries on the page, however due the immense variation in styles and formats we were not able to achieve meaningful results with this approach.

\subsection{Building a Parser for a Standard Format of Resumes}

The largest professional social network in the world is LinkedIn. Almost every professional has a LinkedIn profile with the same information as that on their resumes, and frequently applies for jobs or networks with recruiters through the website. We exploit the prevalence of LinkedIn in the professional world to use their resume format as our standard format. This format is well structured (a structured schematic is shown in Figure \ref{fig:datamovement}). Each section (such as Bio, Experience, Education, etc.) is demarcated from the others. The format within sections is also fixed, which aids information extraction. We follow a heuristic based approach to extract information. The logical flow of the document always follows the following structure:
\begin{enumerate}
    \item Personal information: Name, location, current employment, contact information etc.
    \item Career information: Summary, Experience, Education etc.
    \item Recommendations: Recommendations from other professionals
\end{enumerate}

In addition to this fixed structure, the PDF metadata is intact and consistent - the font size, style etc. are always available and the properties of headings stay the same across different resumes.

The combination of the consistent structure and the metadata information available results in very successful heuristic based information extraction from these resumes. We are always able to extract the entirety of the information in the resumes keeping the structure intact. We use pdftohtml to extract the text and metadata information, and use our heuristics to segment the text into the original sections, finally outputting a JSON or CSV file.

\subsubsection{Converting Resumes to LinkedIn Format}
In order to perform data augmentation for various LinkedIn resume based tasks as well as give employers a common format to work with, we attempted to use neural networks to convert resumes in general formats to the LinkedIn format. To accomplish this we first split the resumes into different segments based on the heuristic rules we had developed in Section \ref{4.1}. We used BERT to create feature vectors for these segments. We train a classifier on the LinkedIn format resumes, and then classify each segment of the non-LinkedIn resumes into one of the LinkedIn format segments. The results are discussed in Section \ref{results}.

\subsubsection{Web Application for Resume Parsing}

We made our resume parser for LinkedIn resumes available to requiters through a web-application. The recruiter can upload a batch of resumes and the application will return the parsed information in the form of a CSV file. The file has all the information available in the resumes for each applicant, and the recruiter can record the comments for each section of the resume as the candidate is interviewed. The CSV file also allows the comments for the different stages of the recruitment process to be recorded conveniently. Thus, it results in uniform and efficient data collection for the employers. The increased amount of well-structured, uniform data with interviewer comments can be the basis of future work in this field.

\subsection{Ranking candidates on the basis of job-description suitability}

We use the information extracted from the LinkedIn format resumes to perform this ranking. We restrict ourselves to the candidates past professional experience. A typical description of the individuals previous employment details his responsibilities at the job.
In order to simulate the job description that a company would be looking to hire individuals for, we used one candidate's description of his responsibilities at a previous role as the job description. We created positive samples by taking combinations of different job responsibilities that a person had. For example, person \(P_1\) had job experiences \(E_{11}\), \(E_{12}\), \(E_{13}\) so the combinations \((E_{11},E_{12})\), \((E_{11},E_{13})\), \((E_{12},E_{13})\) were positive samples. Combination of job responsibilities between different candidates were taken as negative samples. For example, \(P_1\) and \(P_2\) had job experience \(E_{11}\) and \(E_{21}\) respectively, so we created a negative sample as \((E_{11},E_{21})\).
Using these we trained BERT for sequence pair classification (Figure \ref{fig:datamovement}) task to predict whether the two job descriptions were of the same candidate or not. BERT gives us a score in the range [0,1], ranging from no-match to a perfect match.

Given that the two job descriptions of a person are not exactly same but are in the same domain, the dataset creation and training procedure we followed allowed us to learn job description similarity without having a labelled dataset. It removed the requirement of a domain expert or even multiple domain experts which could tell if a person having a particular job experience is eligible for job at hand.
Once we had a trained model we could simply input job description and candidate's work experience and use the classification score to rank different candidates.
\section{Evaluation} \label{evaluation}
\subsection{Dataset} \label{dataset}

Our dataset comprised two parts, LinkedIn resumes and non-LinkedIn resumes. We had 715 LinkedIn resumes. Of these 305 had the work experience detailed properly, and hence we moved forward with these. We had 1,000 non-LinkedIn resumes in PDF format.
\\
For the candidate ranking task, we required job-descriptions in order to train our model. As we did not have any data  to classify whether a job description matched the candidate experience, we created our own dataset by splitting job experience of a candidate for different companies and taking binary combinations of those as positives. For negative sampling, we randomly selected job experiences of other candidates. Doing this for each candidate resulted in 3958 samples on which we trained BERT for sentence pair classification of text segments into LinkedIn format sections (Bio, Experience, Education, etc.).
\subsection{Results} \label{results}

Over the course of our algorithm (shown in Figure \ref{fig:datamovement}), we have performed three classification tasks and one ranking and similarity computation task.\\
The performance of our classifiers follows:
\begin{enumerate}
    \item Differentiating between LinkedIn and non-LinkedIn resumes: We use a heuristic based method to tell the difference between LinkedIn and non-LinkedIn resumes. The distribution of font  size frequency and order of occurrence of different font sizes allows us to identify a LinkedIn resume. Due to this heuristic based method, on a test set of 100 LinkedIn and 100 non-LinkedIn resumes, we achieved 100\% accuracy.
    \item \label{clf2} Structuring extracted text from LinkedIn resumes into predefined segments: This classifier classifies the text extracted from the LinkedIn format (along with the metadata) into different headings and outputs a JSON file. We use heuristic based methods here as well, identifying a heading from normal text, as well as identifying the subheadings. The uniform format of document styling allows us to perform this with perfect accuracy as well. On a test set of 100 LinkedIn resumes, we achieved classification with 100\% accuracy into the sub-categories.
    \item Converting a non-LinkedIn resume to a LinkedIn format resume: This classifier classifies segments of text into different LinkedIn categories. We use heuristic based methods to grab segments text of from the raw text extracted. We then use BERT for sequence classification, which we fine tuned on results from our second classifier (\ref{clf2}) to predict which class the segment belongs to. We achieved 97\% accuracy on a test set of 35 manually annotated resumes.
\end{enumerate}

We used BERT for sentence pair classification and achieved 72.77\% accuracy in predicting whether two job descriptions belong to same person or not. This method can be used to predict whether a person's previous job experience is similar to a job description at hand. Due to a lack of ground truth, we cannot train a network to rank resumes as per their suitability to the job description. Thus, we use the sentence pair classification score from BERT as the ranking criterion, as this intuitively gives us a degree of similarity between the job description and profiles of candidates.
\section{Conclusion} \label{conclusion}
Through this paper we explore the feasibility of creating a standard parser for resumes of all formats. We found that this was not possible to do without information loss for all cases, which would result in the unfair loss of certain applicant's resumes in the process. We instead proceeded with LinkedIn format resumes, for which we could build a parser with no information loss. This parser is publicly available through a web application. \\We used BERT for sequence pair classification to rank candidates as per their suitability to a particular job description. With the data collected from the web application, we will have real job descriptions and interviewer comments at each stage of the hiring process. We also plan to further explore the vision based page segmentation approach in order to augment our structural understanding of resumes. This work establishes a strong baseline and a proof of concept which can lead to the hiring process benefiting from the advances in deep-learning and language representation.

If mastered, the Divine Skill Spacial Dash could be used to separate some of the practitioner's spirit essence into a separate incorporeal body of sorts, that could be sustained within a radius dependent on the practitioner's level of cultivation. It was then possible to, at any given moment, shift one's real body to that location, instantaneously.
There were however a few drawbacks to the skill, which might explain why it was graded as only a level six skill, despite the essence fluctuations being a bit stronger than those of the other level six skills Raven had inspected.
Besides being unusually hard to learn, the two major drawbacks were noise and essence consumption.
Keeping a incorporeal body of spirit essence separate from oneself would, not surprisingly, be extremely taxing on the soul and once the actual dash was made huge amounts of spirit essence would be used up. Raven guessed that with her current cultivation, she would only be able to use the skill perhaps 2-3 times in actual combat, and this was only thanks to her soul being unusually fast at absorbing spirit essence.
Then there was the noise. The immediate shift of pressure in the atmosphere, caused by the sudden disappearance and subsequent reappearance of a human body, would generate a bang so loud that it would burst the eardrums of any low level Spiritualists nearby. Not to mention the potentially deadly effects it would have on normal humans.
'Hehe, if I get proficient enough in using the Void Tracker, I should be able to cancel out the noise,' Raven was incapable of hiding the glee from her face, 'although it will be hard to learn, I'm not in a hurry, and thanks to the extra skill given to Advanced Students I will still have plenty of slots open for other skills.'
Raven had made up her mind and held up her identification stone to the scroll to unlock the Divine Skill within. Instantly a low murmur filled the floor.
"Do you see that?" someone snickered quietly, "the slave kid picked the Spacial Dash."
"Wasting his extra skill on a Divine Skill he will never learn, what a rookie mistake."
"I thought a slave would have been taught his self-worth early on. . . ."
It came to no surprise to Raven that the students on the second floor were only ignoring her when they thought she was looking. Although their voices were low, they might as well have shouted – it would have made no difference to Raven.
Although she registered what they said, she chose to ignore it for now as she instead looked at the identification stone in her palm with some confusion; the text "Divine Skill Count 1/4" was once again displayed.
'Shouldn't it be 2/4?' Raven frowned.
She thought back to the words Elder Stork had left her with: "you are to choose four Divine Skills and practice them to perfection. You are not permitted a fifth skill until one of the first four is mastered."
'Could it be that my trial run downstairs was enough for the stone to deem the Paralizing Ligtning Strike as mastered?'
As far as Raven was concerned, her earlier performance had been merely adequate, with many adjustments still required before she would be satisfied.
Then again, Raven was a bit of a perfectionist when it came her martial techniques; it wasn't unreasonable to think that the Academy would put the bar lower or none of the students would learn more than five or six skills during their studies at Sky Academy.
Raven smiled at the possibility this presented. If her guess was correct, wouldn't that mean that she would be able to get the imprint for practically every low level Divine Skill that connected to her old martial arts almost as fast as she could read their scrolls?
'This has to be tested!'
Although it was possible that she would find fitting skills on the second floor, Raven opted against it with so many people present. Instead, she immediately completed the imprint with the level six Spacial Dash and headed back to the first floor, fittingly ignoring every person she left behind on the second floor.
Once back on the first floor, Raven strode to the very back of the library, almost forgetting to hide the lithe of her natural movements. Fortunately, the first floor was practically only used by first and second year students, whom seemed disinclined to skip out on lunch, so there were only two other students present. They were both low Novices and the numerous shelves separating them from Raven were more than enough to hide her activities from all their senses.
With inhuman speed Raven started to sift through the scrolls on the shelf in front of her. Every time she came across a skill whose physical movements were nearly identical to her old martial arts, she would stop, unlock the imprint, and then perform the skill; it was a success, the first skill increased the count on the identification stone to 2/4, but when the second skill was unlocked the count was still only 2/4.
Raven kept it up for over half an hour before her mind started feel strained; like a balloon filled with too much air. Drawing a deep breath, she looked back at the scrolls she had read and then leaned out into the next aisle of the library.
'I've checked 42 level three Divine Skills, and taken the imprint of the 17 level scrolls whose skills fit me,' she lifted her hands to rub her temples, 'I haven't even looked through a single shelf yet. . . .'
Even though Raven's mind was spent, she was still very pleased with the situation; finally she had made some of her old techniques a bit more useful to her also in Spiritualist combat.
However, there were thousands of scrolls to go and hundreds of martial techniques she wanted to find a use for.
'I wonder how long time it would take to . . . ,' Raven's eyes widened, 'oh, shit! My next class!'
Not bothering to restore order to the section she had worked through, Raven dashed out from the library, leaving two small piles of glowing scrolls behind. In her rush, Raven failed to notice that while the larger pile of disregarded skills consisted mostly of warm hues, the small pile shone with the colder lights of green, yellow and pale blue.
The location for the forth level Spirit Control Class was not particularly far away, but it still took five minutes for Raven to arrive, bursting through the gateway onto yet another open courtyard at full speed. Although she was moving very quickly, for observers it seemed as if Raven was simply taking a casual jog; her step was light and no sweat gathered on her forehead.
The twenty or so people already present stared at her small figure with perplexed gazes. Whatever rumors, or perhaps instructions, someone had spread, they had apparently not taken hold in everyone here; quite a few students were not averting their eyes the moment they realized it was Raven.
To Raven's surprise, most of those students were women, all wearing the gold rimmed robes of the Healing Arts Department.
'So the Spirit Control Class is co-ed . . . ,' noted Raven as she observed her observers, 'and judging by their appearances, the girls are younger than the boys.'
Most males attending the fourth level class were simultaneously in their fourth year – as was the case with the Griffin twins – and therefore approaching their twelfth birthday. The girls on the other hand seemed to be ten or, at most, newly turned eleven. Granted, there were fewer of them, but still.
If not for the fact that the Griffin twins were absent for some unknown reason, Raven would have asked them about it. Instead, she let the girls stare and simply waited for the class to start, which Raven realised, surprised, might take a while; she could sense no Spirit Champions approaching the courtyard.
The children around Raven were clustered in small groups, and soon started to talk among themselves in hushed tones. If it wasn't for Raven's extraordinary hearing, she would most likely not have heard a word they said to each other. As it was . . .
"Is that the super genius that joined the Martial Department yesterday?" asked one of the girls.
"He looks so ordinary. . . ." commented another.
"Hmph, what's so special about it – any high Novice who takes that trial would get the same result," mumbled one of the boys but Raven could tell from his voice that he didn't really believe what he was saying.
"I heard from Senior Wren that this so called genius is actually fake, " said another boy and in a voice loud enough for anyone in the open area to hear, "he's only a thief who stole his cultivation from his fellow slaves!"
Raven raised an eyebrow at that; 'stealing cultivation? Is that even possible?' Raven tilted her head to the side as she pondered, 'You could perhaps find a way to absorb someones spirit essence but without a strong enough Spirit Core you wouldn't be able to make it your own. . . .'
Meanwhile, talk about Raven and her past grew more rowdy around her.
"How horrible!" shrieked some of the girls, who clearly hadn't heard the story before, while some of the others actually snorted disbelievingly.
"Isn't Senior Wren just jealous?" suggested one of the older girls. "Clearly he feels threatened by this Junior."
"What's there to be threatened by? Senior Wren is already a peak high Adept and will likely break through to the Champion realm before he graduates. This little thief will never catch up, now that he can't keep to his old treachery anymore!"
"The only thing impressive about Senior Wren's cultivation is that he managed to get there without being an Advanced Student," retorted one of the smaller boys in a voice so low Raven almost missed it. His cultivation was lowest among the boys as he was the only one still quite far from reaching the bottleneck before advancing to Spirit Adept.
"What was that?" the boy who had first raised his voice asked the small kid – he had seen the latter's mouth moving but only heard fragments.
The small boy shivered slightly and backed up a few steps. "Nothing," he said and looked down at his feet.
"No, you definitely said something," the larger boy advanced towards the other one, "come on, Regulus, share your opinion with the rest of us."
The girls frowned at the scene but said nothing. Perhaps the fact that their cultivation wasn't any than higher Regulus's held them back. Raven on the other hand had no such scruples.
'Might as well see if I can get some more insight into this whole thief business. . . .'
Swiftly, Raven stepped forward and blocked the larger kid's approach with a cold glare.
"Out of the way, slave thief," ordered the kid with disdain, "or do you think that you, with your fake cultivation, can match up to me – a true high Novice?"
"I am no thief," answered Raven in a voice devoid of emotion.
"No? Then how about 'murderer' instead?"
The other children gasped. Raven frowned slightly.
'Where does this come from? Usually people don't choose to make such accusations without any sort of proof. . . .'
"Don't be ridiculous, Robin," the slightly older girl from before finally spoke again, "he's only six!"
The boy, Robin, didn't look away from Raven as a smug sneer spread on his face.
"Then do you deny that you have watched dozens of children get slowly ripped to pieces, limb from limb, right in front of you without doing a thing?" More gasps. "I bet you even enjoyed it!"
Raven's frown deepened. The scene Robin was describing was awfully close to one of the horrors Hog had described to the headmasters and Elder Kagu only yesterday. Was it a coincidence? Not likely. Had anyone of them told the story to someone else? Perhaps even less likely.
'But who could have overheard it? Even I couldn't hear anything through those doors without Brother and it's practically impossible that someone hid themselves in there…'
When Raven remained silent, Robin laughed mockingly, "Ha! See, he doesn't even deny it!"
'It would seem like I have something more to investigate – Auk Wren's, or perhaps Jack Tanuki's, source. As for this kid . . .'
Raven's eyes studied the soon to be twelve-year-old in front of her. Her frown slowly dissipated and was replaced by a cold and emotionless expression that sent shivers down Robin's spine.
"Whatever I have witnessed, it is none of your business, but if you think that my experiences make me weak, then you are dead wrong."
Raven's blood red eyes locked on to the boy like a hawk, minuscule amounts of killing intent seeping out towards him. Instinctively, Robin took a few steps back. Annoyed at his reaction, Robin searched for a comeback, but the words were caught in his throat.
One of the boys, whom had stood next to Robin prior to the altercation, and who didn't feel the weight of Raven's glare chuckled; "already he makes threats! Are you here to steal our cultivation as well?"
"He is here to learn, just like the rest of you," a clear voice rang out in the courtyard, instantly putting a lid over the brewing tension.
"Elder Willow!" the girls practically shrieked in unison, as they bowed their heads towards the gate.
'He's an elder?' thought Raven as she turned to look at the man who had just entered.
She had recognized his presence, when she sensed him approaching, as the man Martin had referred to as Professor Love during the banquet. However, at that time, Raven hadn't bothered to turn around and look at him. Consequently, she never saw the color of the man's robes and had therefor assumed that the professor title was a simply part of his nickname. This assumption had been based on the deep red glow of his presence, which relieved this 'Elder Willow' as merely a high Spirit Adept, close to a breakthrough, but nonetheless just an Adept – there are students at Sky Academy with higher cultivation!
However, now that Raven actually looked at him, she was even more disbelieving of his status as an Elder. His figure was lean and elegant, with long auburn hair, tied in a high ponytail, and ivory pale skin. His eyes, shining with dazzling light green hues, seemed to see right through whomever he looked at. Raven had to agree with the girls and admit that Elder Willow was irrefutably gorgeous – in a top model kind of way – but most importantly, he looked young, very young. It wouldn't surprise Raven if the man was below nineteen.
'To be an Elder at such a young age, and yet with such a low cultivation . . . ,' Raven glanced over his robes, and furrowed her brows; 'he's from the Healing Department?'
"Sorry for the delay," with elegant confidence, Elder Willow strode to the center of the courtyard as he spoke. "I was on my way when I found two of your classmates loitering near the Spirit Hall Tower, so I had to make a detour." He turned to face the gate. "Boys?"
There was a short pause before two fiery sets of hair appeared outside, soon to be followed by an enormous crate of boxes that they were pulling behind them with much effort.
Elder Willow smiled warmly at the sight and continued speaking over the huffs and puffs of the Twins; "they were however kind enough to help me with bringing over the equipment for today's class. Collect one box each and take a seat somewhere; it doesn't matter where, as long as you have at least an arms length to each other."
"Yes, Elder!" the children shouted and did as they were told.
"Up to no good again?" whispered Raven to the twins as she picked up a box for herself and handed a second one to Regulus, who was to short to reach them on his own.
"No," wheezed Martin between labored breaths, "and what do you mean again? We are practically saints, right Twin?"
"Indeed," smiled Lark and used nodded his head to indicate an empty section of the courtyard. Together, the three walked over and sat down, but leaned in closer than the arms length distance so they could continue their conversation.
"We wanted to see the first year's reaction to your record," explained Lark.
"Did you?"
"Well, Professor Love found us . . . ," started Martin dejectedly.
"When we told him why we were there he started lecturing us about how reckless we had been . . ." interrupted Lark a little too quickly, "he dragged on for ever, but as a result we had yet to leave when the teacher found your record." His eyes practically twinkled. "It was awesome; the other Elder's jaw nearly touched the ground!"
"It would have been even more awesome if we hadn't been forced to pull that godforsaken crate all the way here afterwards!" grumbled Martin causing Lark to laugh and nod, but surprisingly Raven noticed him giving Martin a slightly reproving look.
'Interesting,' she thought, 'so they don't agree on everything.'

So is Raven going to go through the whole martial arts place just to find all her old martial arts? Thats funny! XD
An Elder is checking on the records of students who have checked out skills. "Hmm, lets see… Student A has 2 skills mastered, and 3 skills checked out… Student B has 1 skill mastered, and 4 skills checked out….Raven Night has………………. [ Pick a high number! XD ] SKILLS MASTERED?!?!?!?!" Elder sits there with his jaw gaping, almost ready to begin foaming at the mouth.
XD XD XD XD XD Sorry but you have to admit that it would be funny!

I just read like non stop through your story up till now and Man that was AWESOME !!
It's a melting pot of all the theme I love. A good revenge story that's actually planned and best served very cold (not just you hurt me I kill all your family in the next 2 chapter) 😀
The main character is a women but isn't stereotypical. She is OP but doesn't get arrogant she is cold blooded but doesn't kill every single person that doesn't kneel down in front of her or looks at her the wrong way ^^
I liked the twist with the OH SOO used ring with a spirit inside but it evolved as soon as we were taking it for granted.
We get the funny interactions of the gender blender type without all the drama linked with it.
I just hope we won't get too much into politics details with the situation with the queens but we'll see.
I'm stunned that you're not having more comments with such a great story !
Well starting now you have one more avid fan waiting for the next chapter.
Thank you ^.^ I'm glad you like it!
next chapter links me to 33.

Besides being unusually har to learn, the two major drawbacks were noise and essence consumption.
har should be hard
Although she was moving very quickly, for observes it seemed as if Raven was simply taking a casual jog;
observes should be observers
he girls frowned at the scen but said nothing.
scen should be scene
Then do you deny that you have watched dussins of children get slowly ripped to pieces, limb form limb, right in front of you without doing a thing?
dussins … I think that is dozens (Google says its sweedish)
and form should be from
Upp to no good again
Upp should be Up
wops, two Swedish words in one chapter – guess my nationality is shining through 😛 Thank you for the help!
While Raven was zooming through the martial arts scrolls, I was cackling like a witch in glee.
"Up to no good again?" whispered Raven to the twins as she picked up a box for herself and handed a second one to Regulus, who was _to_ short to reach them on his own.

SingularDTV and Futurism Studios have produced the first blockchain-funded, distributed and focused documentary.
'Trust Machine: The Story of Blockchain', narrated by Rosario Dawson, promises to explain to moviegoers, who still believe Bitcoin and blockchain are synonyms, the difference between the cryptocurrency and the underlying technology.
It explores the evolution of cryptocurrency, blockchain and decentralisation, including the technology's role in addressing critical real-world problems, such as world hunger and income inequality.
In a press release, the producers of the film say the movie is "an engaging documentary that also appeals to those who pay a bit more attention to developments in the digital arena. Refreshingly unconvinced by hype but still awed by blockchain's potential, the film should have legs once it slides from theatres to streaming, remaining relevant even as this unruly topic develops".
Why are banks so terrified?
Award-winning filmmaker Alex Winter shows that proponents of blockchain are already utilising the technology to change the world.
The main protagonists are Lauri Love, who plays a hacktivist. Vinay Gupta, as a strategic architect for Consensys and the CEO of Mattereum. Laura Shin plays a blockchain journalist, while Bill Tai is a venture capitalist. Tim Draper plays a venture capital investor. Imogen Heap is a musician. Spiros Michalakis is a Quantum Physicist at CalTech University in California. Mark Jeffrey plays the part of the Guardian Circle CEO.
The film starts in 2008 during the global economic collapse and picks up when Satoshi Nakamoto releases the infamous whitepaper.
It then moves on to the Silk Road scandal and addresses how aggressively governments and institutions try to clamp down on disruptions to their holds on power. However, it puts focus on how blockchain technology is a tool for popular empowerment.


According to the Tamil epic Manimekalai, Poompuhar on Tamil Nadu's east coast was 'swallowed' by the sea following the curse of a goddess.
The myth says that a Chola king, mourning his son's death, forgot to celebrate the annual spring festival, Indra Vizha and incurred the deity's wrath.
Historians today believe that the disaster that hit the port town was a tsunami. Centuries later, the 2004 tsunami that ravaged modern-day Poompuhar has posed a big challenge to archaeologists.
The ancient town lies buried in the sea and divers of the Goa-based National Institute of Oceanography will have to scrape through layers of sediment, sea barnacles, flora and fauna to piece together the story of the busy port town that had trade links with the east and the west.
"There is enough proof that the rich merchants of Manigrama, a suburban village of ancient Poompuhar, travelled by boats accompanied by 'sena muka' (soldiers to defend vessels against pirates) to Takua Pa (now in south Thailand) to trade in mani (gems).
A Tamil inscription on a stone to this effect is still preserved in modern-day Takua Pa," says former state archaeology director, R Nagaswamy.
Notable Greeks such as Ptolemy and Pliny describe this Chola town as an important port. It flourished between the 3rd century BC and the 5th century AD and did business with both the Roman Empire and China, until it was washed away by tidal waves.
Onshore and offshore excavations since the 1960s have given archaeologists an exciting glimpse of this once rich town. Excavations have revealed ring wells, brick structures, semi-precious stones and shards of amphorae.
State archaeology minister Thangam Thennarasu says the government is keen on an elaborate exploration that can help unearth and preserve the remnants of an ancient Tamil culture.
The government is in talks with the NIO for an expedition that would also include other ancient ports off the TN coast, now submerged under the sea.
Besides Poompuhar, the excavation team will also explore Alagankulam, near Rameswaram, Periyapattinam, where large quantities of porcelain were found, Korkai near Thoothukudi, mentioned in Sangam literature as a pearl-rich port and Nagapattinam, another port that flourished during the medieval period.

£3.9 million to drive innovative tree planting
A cash boost of nearly £4 million to plant more trees up and down the country has been announced by the government today (5 December). This will see hundreds of thousands of new trees planted, including in towns and cities and near rivers to reduce flood risk, and help meet the government's commitment to increase planting to 30,000 hectares per year across the UK by 2025.
A pot of £2.5 million will support schemes that establish new ways of planting trees in our cities, towns and countryside. Led by Defra, Natural England and the Tree Council, this will use five pilot studies delivered on the ground by Local Authorities to develop cost-effective and innovative approaches to planting trees outside woodlands over the next two and a half years. This could include schemes such as community tree nurseries, agroforestry and hedgerow management, or planting trees from locally collected seed. These new trees will help tackle climate change and create habitats for wildlife.
A further £1.4 million has been awarded to the Environment Agency to fund 'woodlands for water' – 15 projects to plant over 850,000 trees that will protect around 160km of river and help to reduce the risk of flooding to over 500 properties.
Tree planting can play a valuable role in reducing flood risk, slowing the flow of water to nearby communities. Tree planting near watercourses can also act as a buffer for agricultural pollution and improve water quality.
The 'woodlands for water' funding, which forms part of the £640 million Nature for Climate fund to support the government's tree planting commitment, will support projects such as:
The biosphere woods project in North Devon, which will plant 15,600 trees to improve water quality in the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.
30,168 new trees in the Upper Thames and Cotswold Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, to help slow the flow of water and improve habitat connectivity.
17,687 new trees at three locations in Shropshire, helping to improve water quality, alleviate flooding, capture carbon and create wildlife habitat.
17,000 new trees at ten sites across Devon and Cornwall, creating and re-connecting habitats and improving water quality by reducing surface run-off.
10,257 trees to be planted in the Ure and Wharfe catchments in Yorkshire to improve wildlife habitat and connectivity.
Forestry Minister, Lord Goldsmith, said:
We are going to have to break down the barriers to planting trees outside of woodlands if we are to deliver our ambitious tree planting commitments. Trees are the backbone of our urban and rural environments, and increasing planting is an effective way both to tackle climate change and stem the appalling collapse of biodiversity.
These ambitious new initiatives will help deliver tree planting on an unprecedented scale. They will help to regenerate our urban areas, as well as our watercourses and create a network of green corridors for both people and wildlife to thrive.
Sara Lom, CEO The Tree Council, said:
We are delighted to be working with local authority partners at the heart of this important project, in line with our mission to bring people together, to find creative solutions to establish more trees in our communities in a practical and sustainable way.
Chair of the Environment Agency, Emma Howard Boyd, said:
This £1.4 million fund is one part of the wide range of measures to improve the nation's resilience to the impacts of climate change. It will accelerate efforts to reach net zero and help achieve the government's 25 Year Environment Plan goals for nature through effective nature-based solutions.
The projects chosen will provide invaluable benefits to communities and our environment – from reducing flood risk and protecting homes, to capturing carbon, improving water quality and encouraging biodiversity.
In addition to today's announcement, the government recently consulted on a new England Tree Strategy to accelerate tree planting and improve the management of our existing trees and woodlands.
The Prime Minister also recently announced a further £40 million additional investment into the government's Green Recovery Challenge Fund – this will go towards creating and retaining thousands of jobs in the environmental sector.
The £2.5 million to fund pilots for tree planting outside of woodlands are being taken forward as part of HM Treasury's £200 million Shared Outcomes Fund.

What is your favorite Java based scripting language?
It doesn't look like the poll has been hit too hard, but JRuby seems to score much better than I would have expected, given our relatively recent entry into the public eye. Groovy has garnered about twice as many votes, but of course it's been very public and available for several years.
Also interesting are the poor scores for Jython and Rhino. Jython is a great implementation, but it's pretty far behind at this point. I wish there were more resources to pour into it...perhaps soon. Rhino is also interesting...only four votes so far, even though it's really fast and being included in Java 6.
BTW, please don't go stuffing the ballots for JRuby or anything. I just figured I'd get this poll some exposure to see how things play out. It already looks really good for JRuby, and if you want to vote for Groovy or any of the others, be my guest.
More results now, but the rankings stay the same.
I am curious about the poor show for Jython. Maybe it didn't bridge communities in the way that JRuby seems to be doing - it just added options for Python users.
Ruby is a real nice fit for Java developers open to it.

Price Increment PRO is a simple but useful indicator. It shows the relative increment in the bar price. In simple words: it shows by how many percent the price on a certain bar has changed. It is possible to display an absolute value.
The indicator is designed in the form of a histogram, where green bars mean price increase, and red bars means price fall. It can calculate the increment in 3 ways: in percentage, in the logarithmic or absolute form. The indicator is fairly simple and has only 1 input parameter, in which you need to choose the method of calculation.
The indicator is used mainly for CFD contracts, to make it easier to assess the profitability of investments and possible risks, but there are also certain strategies for currency pairs and metals.
Added 1 calculation method — absolute.
Added a panel with buttons for a quick switch to other timeframes, without the need to change the timeframe of the chart.
All my products can be viewed here.
Please do not hesitate to contact me and leave feedback.
First five trades on three pairs, ALL winners !! Percentage change back into trend direction checked on lower timeframe...strike ! Nothing better than pure momentum (Price action). Thank you very much!!


I'm the backend developer for a growing startup called RocketBolt. As a startup, we have to overcome all sorts of hurdles like, you know, getting new users, improving our infrastructure, making sure we can pay our hosting bills every month — pretty much the usual. None of it bothers me because I was prepared for all the usual startup things. I was prepared to have friends and family smirkily asking me "So what new company are you building this week?" every time I see them. I was prepared for 48-hour, Adderall-fueld workdays. I was even prepared to start sneaking in and out of my fifth-story apartment via my four-story emergency escape ladder in order to avoid my landlord in case money got too tight. But no one prepared me for the barrage of Facebook recruiters constantly trying to steal my co-founder, and it's starting to piss me off.
Let me rewind a bit and explain what's been going on. As I wrote before, I'm the backend developer for RocketBolt. That means I handle all the really tricky behind-the-scenes code that lets us generate a completely custom, fully-featured, dynamic application that then gets remotely embedded onto websites we have no control over via a single line of code. It's not an easy task, but I love every minute of working on it because I'm either a masochistic idiot or… well… I'm not really sure what the other option is. I'm also lucky enough to be a backend developer whose childhood best friend became an extremely talented frontend developer and my eventual co-founder. That's right — no Twitter Bootstrap for me! I don't remember the last time I had to care what some ancient version of Internet Explorer does to my CSS, and I still produce great looking websites. It's awesome.
But there's one problem with the great working relationship my co-founder and I have, and, Facebook, it's because of you. Not just you, of course. It's also because of Google, and LinkedIn, and Groupon, and Twitter, and any number of other startup-dream-crushing goliaths. You all have discovered just how talented my co-founder is, and now your smooth-talking corporate headhunters are trying to hire him.
Honestly, I'm fine with that. I don't need your job offers to validate my work. I know I'm good at what I do. But what I do need is for you to stop trying to convince my co-founder to become your next mid-level designer because, let's face it, a cushy job at a multi-billion-dollar company offering a steady income and dental benefits gets harder to turn down after each and every bite of Ramen.
So please, Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Apple, Twitter, and even Yahoo if you still exist, stop trying to steal my co-founder.
Or, at the very least, give me an office next to his.

Who goes for a staircases hunt when visiting a city? Well I can tell you, if you don't you're missing a lot.
Sometimes you need to be prepared and know where the coolest and most unique are located (and really often they are hidden in residential or private buildings) but sometimes they are part of a museum or a shopping centre so easily accessible for everyone.
Personally I always look for them when I plan things and places I want to see before I leave for my destination. And these are things that you can't find in any travel guide so it can be a bit tricky. My main sources are Instagram, because who knows better than locals or travellers who have been there before me, and I've recently discovered that 500px can be a really good place to find inspiration and less popular hidden spots.
So here you have some of the best staircases I've found in Helsinki.
This last one is not properly located in Helsinki but in Espoo, the second largest city in Finland. It's worth a visit.
Hope this small "architecture-travel-guide" can be enjoyable and useful for staircases-lovers as me. It always takes quite a lot of time to find these places so I think it can be something helpful. Let me know and I can make tons more!
Nice photos! A small amendment: Porthania is mainly a university building with five large auditoriums and ten smaller ones. The student restaurant is just a small part of building so it is a bit misleading to call it "Ravintola Porthania" ("Restaurant Porthania").


Van Gogh is Bipolar, and so was he!
Renee and I finally stumbled into this mythical place last night called Van Gogh Is Bipolar and had a legendary affair with founder Jethro Rafael, who walked out of a lifelong bipolar pathology by letting loose his creative genius, centered on self-styled, heavily-researched "cukoo cuisine". All natural, homeopathic, farm-to-table, abundant artiste, a wholeness of philosophy and being that caters to food and eating as healing.
As a result of which Jethro has successfully bypassed bipolar pharmaceuticals for the last 6 years.
Somewhere between our 3rd and 4th course (out of 5), Jethro called Renee and I to a small writing table and asked us to jot a short note to anyone, any thing, any place or any experience – so long as we kept aforementioned subject anonymous. What happens next I will leave for you to experience in person, along with all the other craziness that makes this a place to embrace.
That note I leave here in the AHS chapel this morning, to the one I wrote it to, to all I wrote it to.
Perhaps Descartes got it a tad wrong. We are crazy, ergo sum. We all have crazy inside and the more we let that craziness free and unbound, the more we are who we are, powerful, beautiful, unconformed and thus uniquely formed, alive.
Bravo, Jethro. This world was always meant for one as beautiful as you.

Cholera Outbreak in Zimbabwe Turns Drug-Resistant
The United Nations says it is hopeful Zimbabwe will soon contain an outbreak of cholera that has killed more than two dozen people. Efforts are complicated as authorities are fighting a drug-resistant bacterium said to be fueling the spread of the waterborne disease.
Zimbabwe's Ministry of Health Friday said the number of cholera-related deaths has climbed to 28, and more than 3,700 cases have been reported across Zimbabwe, with the country's capital, Harare, remaining the epicenter of the problem.

The Medieval Statue of Our Lady of Dublin
Sep5 by pilgrimagemedievalireland
On Monday on my way back from the National Archives, I popped into the Carmelite church on Whitefriar Street Church, in Dublin city.
Whitefriar Street Church taken from http://www.whitefriarstreetchurch.ie
Within the church is the Shrine of Our Lady of Dublin. The shrine contains a very fine medieval statue of the Blessed Virgin and Christ Child. I had to use my phone to take the photos but below is they are a little blurry but I hope they give you a sense of the statue and inspire you to pay a visit.
Shrine of Our Lady of Dublin
The statue of 15th century date originally belonged to the Cistercian abbey of St. Mary's located on the north bank of the Liffey in Dublin.
The statue is life-sized and carved of oak. It was originally brightly painted and traces of gold and bright blue polychrome were found in its crevices until the early part of the last century. It was whitewashed over at a later date.
During the Reformation, St. Mary's was dissolved in 1539 and stripped of all its valuables and treasure. The statue survived but it was said that it was used as a pig trough in the yard of an inn beside the monastery. The statue was laid face down, and hollowed out back a common feature of medieval stature faced upward and formed the make shift trough.
Our Lady of Dublin
The statue was later mentioned in an account of the Catholic chapels of Dublin written in 1749 suggesting it was rescued from the yard and its new domestic role in the years that followed.
In Mary's Lane is a parochial chapel whose jurisdiction extends from one side of Boot Lane to one side of Church Street. It is a large and irregular building. On the Epistle side of the altar stands a large image of the Blessed Virgin with Jesus in her arms, carved in wood; which statue at the dissolution belonged to St. Mary's Abbey (MacLeod 1947, 56).
The Mary's Lane chapel no longer survives and was located at St. Michan's House. In 1816 a new church was built for St. Michan's parish and the old chapel was converted for use as a school.
The statue seems to have made its way to a second-hand shop on Capel Street. Father Spratt of Whitefriars saw the statue in the shop in 1824 and purchased it. He had the statue placed on the Epistle side of the high altar in the new Whitefriars church. In 1915 the statue was sent for cleaning and all traced of white wash and medieval paint were removed. When the statue was returned it was placed in a new elaborate marble the shrine erected in the Carmelite church.
Prayer to Our Lady of Dublin
The statue is still visited today and the feast day of Our Lady of Dublin is celebrated on September 8.

Been to that church and never looked closely at that particular statue. Will remedy that soon! It's a great church for all kinds of reasons, isn't it?

Q: can not change path.data in elasticsearch config I can not change local ES index location - can not modify path.data .
That's probably some elementary mistake, but I am stuck and greatly appreciate any assistance.
So:
Fresh local installation of ES 7.8.1 under Centos 7, everything runs correctly, if no changes were done in elasticsearch.yml:
But if I try change elasticsearch.yml:
# path.data: /var/lib/elasticsearch'
path.data: /run/media/admin/bvv2/elasticsearch/

(i.e. try to point to external disk), I get after systemctl start elasticsearch:
Job for elasticsearch.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status elasticsearch.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

where in "systemctl status elasticsearch.service" :
