The First Steps to BI Adoption
Kjersten Moody, Chief Data and Analytics Officer, State Farm
Many facets of our consumer and professional lives are undergoing transformation, and the world of business intelligence (BI) is no different. The days of a back-office team wrestling with data quality, standardization, and visualization questions are fading. Today, we are experiencing the first glimpse of how the world of BI and the world of predictive modeling are colliding, and as a result, the BI field is finally coming into its own as a strategic competitive capability. This next generation of BI, fueled by predictive modeling and data science techniques, will produce greater business insights and stimulate deeper, more meaningful leadership discussion and actions.
For many organizations, the investments in BI have centered on data lakes, visualization tools, and data governance strategies and techniques. These investments are maturing and producing incremental value for organizations. Indeed, a well-populated and functioning data lake is rapidly approaching the point where having one is no longer a point of competitive advantage. Rather, its existence avoid measurable competitive disadvantage. We have excellent examples and familiar leadership patterns to establish data governance, KPI standardization, and report consolidation. In other words, a roadmap for a mature and well-run BI capability can be fairly easily established, if it hasn't already been achieved.
As thought leaders, the next frontier of significant new business value is emerging in the extension of BI with predictive modeling.
We can do this at scale as data lakes or other types of data stores now have sufficient data breadth and depth to develop robust training data sets for models, as well as sufficient validity to withstand regulatory examination. Senior leaders, managers, and analysts now have the possibility for regular access to predictive models that provide insights and automated actions. Rather than the team coming up with ideas and looking to the report to support the idea, the report will include what has happened, trusted insights for what will likely happen, and recommended actions to maximize the opportunity.
BI is quickly becoming table stakes. The competitive future will belong in part to those who deploy and mature dynamic and predictive reporting at scale
Where do we go from here? If you are a leader of a BI group, here are three key first steps on that roadmap that can help you start the journey.
The first step is to honestly assess the maturity of your BI organization and your underlying readiness to build and link models to your reports at scale. What is in your data catalog and what is its availability? What is your report format and delivery platform? What are the surrounding business performance management or report review processes? Look at your technology and operating model standards and evaluate how well they are embedded across the organization. In an ideal state, your data is readily available, reports distributed to a single, flexible app, and business leaders have a regular cadence for reviewing information and planning next steps.
The second step is to open the door to your data science team and define how the teams work together. At a minimum, these discussions should include topics such as success criteria for the partnership, access to data, co-location, and prioritization of work (or backlog alignment).
Finally, jointly approach with your data science partners a business area to pilot the shift with you. Begin the conversation with the business area by asking what key business challenges, questions, or difficult scenarios they are facing. If they could look into a crystal ball, what questions would they want answers to? As with any transformative work, using BI capabilities to their fullest takes a collaborative approach in which business, technology, and data teams take collective responsibility for tackling the challenges and opportunities.
BI is quickly becoming table stakes. The competitive future will belong in part to those who deploy and mature dynamic and predictive reporting at scale. When that happens, organizations will have the trusted insights to shape the future and explore the art of the possible.
Now it's time to take the first steps…and enjoy the journey!

In February, Brussels Airlines registered again a passenger increase. In total 545,869 passengers flew on a Brussels Airlines flight to or from Brussels Airport. This is an increase of 4.2% compared to February 2016.
Compared to last year the number of customers on European flights increased by 3%. 4.5% more passengers flew between Brussels Airport and Africa and the North American flights attracted 28.8% more passengers. The North American growth is partly due to the new destination Toronto that was launched in April last year.
Last year, February had 29 instead of 28 days, so the 4.2% passenger growth is significant.The passenger numbers grew faster than the seat offer, resulting in a seat load factor increase of 2 percentage points (72.8%).
The transported freight volume also evolved positively, resulting in a cargo load factor growth of 6.7 percentage points. The growth was mainly registered on the New York and Toronto routes.

Difference Between 2G and 2.5 G
What is 2.5G?
Difference Between 2G and 2.5G
Comparison Between 2G and 2.5G
2G is called second-generation wireless network Technology. G in 2G refers to generation. 2G cellular data network was launched in the year 1991 in Finland based on the GSM standard.

2G helps in the digital encryption of phone conversations, and text encryption between mobile and cellular base stations but not in the rest of the area network.
2G technology is based on Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA). It was originally from Europe but in Japan CDMA, one (Is-95) was the main system and North America Digital AMPS(Is-54 and Is-136) was considered as the main system.
With a 2G network and its general packet radio service, it offers a maximum speed of 14 kbit/s (5kbps) and with enhanced data rates for GSM theoretically, the maximum speed is 384 kbit/s (48kbps).
2.5 G is also called as second half generation and was launched in 1999. 2.5G is an upgraded version of the 2G network with extra features and advantages and a 2G network was provided.
2.5 G network offered many services like games, search and directory, Wap services, picture messages, SMS, etc. 2.5G use packet-switched networks, which are similar to the internet. 2.5G network provides better data services.
2.5G uses the same infrastructure and transmitters as 2G networks but also uses packet-switched data. 2.5 G has got better-browsing speed but is small as compared to 2G. The carrier frequency is 2.5 G is also seen as the same as 2G.
2.5G is considered as intermediate between 2G and 3G networks. 2.5G is associated with High- speed circuit-switched data I.e (HSCSD), Enhanced- Data- rate for Global Evolution, also Universal Mobile Telecommunications System(UMTS), and GRPS. With it, a 2G network can achieve a maximum speed of up to 384 KBPS, and also it can be low as 20 kbps.
2G is associated with only GSM Technology, whereas 2.5 G has TDMA and Code-Division, several accesses.
2G only supports SMS services, while 2.5G supports MMS, mobile games, Web services, etc.
2.5G supports public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) and also packet switch network whereas 2G only support General packet Radio service I.e GPRS.
2G supports GSM global system, iDEN, and D-MPS system, wherein 2.5G has GPRS and EDGE system.
Talking about speed, 2G has a maximum speed of up to 40 kbps to a maximum of 48kbps. On the other hand, 2.5G supports GPRS with 20-40kbps and 236.8 -384 kbps in EDGE.
Parameters Of Comparison 2G 2.5G
Origin Started development on 2G network in the year 1980. Started development on 2.5G network in the year 1985.

Community Partnership Funding to help make a real difference to our communities
Almost £3.7 million of community partnership funding has been awarded to third sector and other community organisations in East Lothian for 2019/20.
Funding will support a variety of organisations in maintaining partnership working with East Lothian Council, helping to build resilience and capacity while reducing inequalities across local communities. This includes funding which goes direct to our 20 Community Councils and six Area Partnerships, which they allocate directly to meet local priorities.
Fifty three community organisations are being supported by the One Council Partnership Fund this year and include:
Access to Industry - £19,012 to support an employability project for community justice partnership objectives
Borders Scrapstore - £7,000 to promote waste reduction and volunteering
The Action Group - East Lothian Benefits - £20,000 to support young people with disabilities
The Risk Factory - £5,000 towards delivery of community safety education to Primary 7 pupils
Whitecraig Community Centre Association - £4,860 for a project to support healthy eating, food hygiene and family learning
Venturing Out CIC - £24,800 to support a local social enterprise that delivers inclusive outdoor activities working for people who may not normally have the opportunity to participate in such activities.
Other organisations being supported include the Amisfield Preservation Trust, Bridges Project – Musselburgh, Dunbar Fashion School, East Lothian Advice Consortium, East Lothian Foodbank, East Lothian Young Carers, Team United Sports, First Step Community Project and the Pennypit Special Needs Youth Club. There is also support for sports groups and the arts.
Councillor Jim Goodfellow, Cabinet Spokesperson for Community Wellbeing, said:
"Community and third sector organisations make a massive difference to the lives of people of all generations. Working together, we can continue to have a hugely positive impact on the vibrancy and wellbeing of our towns and villages, while addressing issues of inequality.
"East Lothian Council has a very clear vision – for a prosperous, safe and sustainable East Lothian, with a dynamic and thriving economy that enables our people and communities to flourish.
"The One Council Partnership Fund supports our collective efforts to focus on this this vision, supported by community planning priorities.
"This year's package of funding supports wide ranging initiatives including promotion of healthy eating, the purchase of equipment to be used within communities, contributing towards project running costs and helping to sustain activities within our towns and villages.
"We're taking an increasingly joined up approach which will help reduce inequalities in and between communities while promoting prevention and early intervention.
"I and my colleagues look forward to working with these organisations and seeing the benefits of their progress in the months and years ahead."
Venturing Out's Claire Mackenzie said:
"We are really pleased to have received a grant from the East Lothian Council Community Partnership Fund and to be working in partnership with ELC Outdoor Learning. It allow us to extend our services to children with additional support needs and their families in East Lothian and builds on the successful programmes that we already have underway at places like Pinkie Primary. Helping people to access outdoor activities can make so much difference to mental and physical health and it's also fun!"

During her career at industry, she specialized in mechanistic toxicology, with a strong focus on advanced in vitro systems, alternative to animal methods, and toxicogenomics. She is also actively involved in teaching and supervision of students.

Persistent Toxic Substances are present in the environment and can accumulate in biological systems, posing a risk to man and the environment. Here we discuss po-tential in vitro systems to assess the effects of PTS in specific target organs in man. Commonly used cell culture systems in toxicological assessment are generally short-lived and useful for acute, relatively high-dose exposures to xenobiotics. However, accumulation of PTS may lead to noxious effects due chronic tissue ex-posure at low concentrations. Here, we present tailor-made, long-term cell cul-ture systems to assess neuro- and hepatotoxicity.
For the liver, we suggest utilizing scaffold-free microtissues containing three rele-vant hepatic cell types: HepaRG (hepatocytes), differentiated THP-1 (macrophag-es) and hTERT-HSC (stellate cells) to assess hepatocellular damage, immune re-sponse and liver repair/scar tissue formation. In addition, the involvement of the antioxidant defence Nrf2-pathway can be assessed. Thus, this in vitro system rep-resents a valid alternative to animal models for the investigation of long-term ex-posures of substances such as thioacetamide and dioxins.
PTS are also known to affect CNS, in particular leading to neuronal damage during neurodevelopment. By implementing an in vitro system able to represent mature and developing neurons, as well as inflammatory cells (THP-1) in a suitable matrix, we can assess the effect of compounds such as methyl mercury on neuronal health.

European Market Belgian A5 20ga Mag.
Anyone own or have any thoughts on the European Market Belgian A5? I found one in minty restored condition, but a little pricy. Thanks.
Sounds like a nice shooter, but I'd not pay top dollar for a restored gun. Collector value on that is minimal at best. What do you call 'pricey"?
Euro market guns are usually not worth any more than U.S. market guns, in the same grade.


The story of the game is, there was a group of tourist visiting the olympic stadium. In that one of the visitor have entered the player's training room, and while he was looking at the player's training equipment's unfortunately the door was closed automatically. Now as a player you need to help the visitor to find the objects and hints to solve the puzzles and help the tourist to escape out. Good luck and have fun!

Лесной массив — значительная целостная ограниченная территория леса. Границы могут быть естественными — водоёмы, элементы рельефа, участки других типов растительности, или возникшими в результате человеческой деятельности — сельскохозяйственными угодьями, населёнными пунктами и др.
Край леса шириной до 150 м — это опушка леса, остальное — внутренняя часть.
Внутри лесного массива могут встречаться участки не покрытые лесом: сплошные лесосеки, прогалины, поляны, пустыри,  усадьбы, а также небольшие водоёмы и сельскохозяйственные угодья.
Лесной массив может иметь древостои разного происхождения, состава, строения, возраста, полноты и продуктивности.
Лесной массив может занимать территорию от нескольких сотен до нескольких тысяч гектаров. Размеры лесных массивов лесостепной зоны обычно относительно небольшие, однако среди них есть одни из крупнейших, например, Бузулукский бор (общая площадь более 110 тыс. га, расположен в Самарской и Оренбургской областях), Борисоглебский лесной массив (площадь около 60 тыс. га, Воронежская область), Шипов лес (площадь около 40 тыс. га, Воронежская область).

We're delighted to be sharing Laura's thoughts today on Murder at the Fitzwilliam, the first book in Jim Eldridge's Museum Mysteries series.
1894. After rising to prominence for his role investigating the case of Jack the Ripper alongside the formidable Inspector Abberline, Daniel Wilson has retired from the force and now works as a private enquiry agent. Having built a reputation for intelligence and integrity, Wilson is the natural choice for the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, which finds itself in need of urgent assistance.
The remains of an ancient princess and her entourage are to be unveiled as the centerpiece of the museum's new Egyptian collection, but strange occurrences have followed their arrival in Britain: a dead body is discovered in a previously empty sarcophagus, one of the mummified bodyguards seemingly goes 'walkabout' and another man is found strangled to death with three-thousand-year-old bandages. Aided by the talented resident archaeologist Abigail Fenton but hindered by the dismissive local police force, can Wilson unravel the mystery and preserve the reputation of the museum ahead of its public launch?
Murder at the Fitzwilliam is published by Allison & Busby and is available to purchase in digital, paperback and hardcover formats.
A wonderful new crime series set in the late 19th Century. The short chapters enticed me to read just one more at bedtime!
Daniel Wilson, with previous experience of working on the Jack the Ripper case finds himself in Cambridge, working as a private enquiry agent. A body found in an empty sarcophagus leads him to archaeologist, Abigail Fenton.
Daniel and Abigail use their own experience to decipher and investigate the murder at the museum.
The story includes tension between the main characters and the police detective, fantastic historical detail, grizzly murders and mysterious characters, which kept me captivated throughout. I have always been fascinated by Egyptian history and enjoyed this element to the story.

The aim of this paper is to show an estimate for the determinant of the covariance of a two-dimensional vector of multiple stochastic integrals of the same order in terms of a linear combination of the expectation of the determinant of its iterated Malliavin matrices. As an application, we show that the vector is not absolutely continuous if and only if its components are proportional.

What is the relationship between technology and anti-corruption efforts?
The way I see it; tech is a tool. It can be used both to facilitate corruption and to counter it.
Now, rooting out corruption is obviously no easy feat and it requires a multi-pronged approach. It exists in a varied number of complex contexts. There are complex webs of cultural norms, leadership systems, legal frameworks and myriad other factors of which technology is just one – but it is one where there's lots of exciting innovation that is shifting the balance of power in favor of citizens.
Can you share any case studies of new technology being used to tackle corruption?
One of the interesting things about this field is just how varied the solutions are. They vary in scale from the reform efforts of national governments to local initiatives started by startups or individuals. They are varied in terms of the type of solution; from crowdsourcing information to big data analysis. And they are also varied in terms of the countries and communities they work in. At PeaceTech Lab we tend to focus our work in countries with a recent history of conflict – but tech solutions are needed to fight corruption in rich, stable countries just as much, not least because money stolen through corruption is often laundered through rich-world financial systems.
Let's take two examples from the world of tax corruption to illustrate this point; Afghanistan and Australia. In Afghanistan, the government, with the help of organizations like Adam Smith International, has overhauled its internal systems by digitizing tax records. This has made it much more difficult for officials to take bribes or pocket revenues because it is much harder to cover it up, falsify a chain of documents or lose the file. Partly as a result of that tech solution, which we in D.C. might consider fairly basic, Afghanistan has been able to increase tax revenue from $250m in 2004 to approximately $2b today. That's a huge material difference and helps the government invest in the future.
Something similar is happening in Australia. There Taxation Office there recently began to use big data analysis to search through vast numbers of tax records in search of tax havens and evasion. Sophisticated approaches like that can yield impressive results that sophisticated but conventional methods can't. It will benefit Australia's taxpayers but it will also benefit people around the world by shutting down the systems that launder money stolen or extorted in other countries.
Those two examples so far have both been about top-down government-led tech solutions, so let me give you something different. In India there's a mobile app and website called I Paid a Bribe. It's a service that crowd sources information about bribery and corruption at every level of government, from exposing traffic wardens to identifying fraud in the issuance of passports. Created by a non-profit, it's a way for people to contribute directly to the fight against corruption by raising awareness and initiating process change by working with the media and government.
Nearly every day we read of another new deployment of tech for this purpose and of the promising results they are yielding. Driven by dedicated people, technological change is having a major effect on the fight against corruption.
How is the PeaceTech Lab helping?
We focus on several areas. First and foremost are the "PeaceTech Exchanges (PTXs)" which we host. We use these programs to train activists, NGO's and local governments in the use of tech to promote greater accountability. We've held these in Iraq, Afghanistan and most recently in Costa Rica, where we gathered together activists from six countries across Central America. That one has produced several projects that range from a web platform that surveys and guides users on ways to counter corruption they're encountering to a chatbot designed to shed light on opaque budgeting processes..
Secondly, we have formed a partnership with C5 and Amazon Web Services to create a dedicated PeaceTech Accelerator to support startups with mentoring, access to capital and access to cloud computing resources. This accelerator has a broader remit than just corruption and is open to organizations working in a number of social-impact fields in conflict-regions.
Shield in the Cloud is our third area of focus, again in partnership with C5 and AWS. It is the world's first anti-corruption innovation challenge and organizations of all sizes are welcome to apply, so long as they are using cloud-based technology. There are a number of different awards, each of which recognizes the very best in class tech innovations and winners receive AWS credits to spend on digital infrastructure – as well as a space in the PeaceTech Accelerator!
What are the challenges being faced by start-ups in developing and bringing these technologies to market?
As the Lab is focused in conflict regions, the organisations we hear from have two major hurdles: access to capital and intimidation.
Can governments and corporates help overcome those challenges?
Absolutely. Corporate and government relationships can go a long way to protecting the individuals behind these initiatives, which is crucial as they can attract a lot of attention from vested interests. That said, all too often we see corporate and government interests being used to expose these change agents to greater risk.
A great way big organizations can support start-ups is by establishing public-private partnerships. But governments and corporates have to act in full recognition of the unique challenges that come with the kind of technology we're talking about. The advances in big data, data analytics, and cloud computing in the last three years alone have been staggering and present us with extraordinary opportunities to fight corruption in new ways. Slow, bureaucratic programs just won't cut it in a world where technological innovation is moving at a million miles an hour.
Is there a limit to what 'establishment' organisations can do to help?
Independence is absolutely vital for both the credibility and the effectiveness of the effort; otherwise you have the fox guarding the henhouse. This perspective explains why governments in many of the conflict countries where we work have been so remiss in dedicating serious resources to solving the problem.
Technology is shifting the balance of power between governments and citizens on a fundamental level. The availability of low-cost tech is changing the landscape. It's possible for more people than ever to participate in anti-corruption efforts.

MIE graduate student captures the art of engineering
by David Staudacher | Posted on September 09, 2019
Rukmava Chatterjee
Engineering embodies multiple disciplines within the sciences, and, all too often, the creativity goes unacknowledged. But it is in there in every aspect. The imagination and creativity of engineering is found in decision making, execution, and the results of research and experiments.
Rukmava Chatterjee, a graduate student working under the direction of Professor Sushant Anand in the mechanical and industrial engineering department, has an appreciation for the art of engineering and it has led him to win two contests with his photo entitled "Mist Heist."
In June, Chatterjee won first place in the "Chemistry in Pictures Water Photo Contest" by Chemical & Engineering News (C&EN), and last week he was named the second-place winner in the Engineering, Mathematics, and Physical Science category of UIC's Image of Research contest.
The description accompanying the "Mist Heist" image provides a deeper look into the research it portrays.
"While the earth's atmosphere embodies zillions of gallons of water vapor, ironically, more than half of the world's population face water scarcity daily. Over the past few decades, researchers have come up with innovative strategies by tapping into this deluge of ambient moisture resource in an attempt to provide the world with 'drinkable air'. However, most of these technologies suffer from the practical challenges of energy efficiency and durability. Motivated by this, we have developed a coating material for harnessing moisture from air in climates ranging from foggy to humid. To demonstrate this, experiments were conducted in a humid environment by cooling a hydrophilic textured surface coated with a naturally-derived waxy material. Stripped from moist air, water droplets show very low adhesion and effortlessly roll down the subcooled coated surface thereby harvesting water. The locking of the waxy material within the surface features of the underlying solid substrate prevents its out-of-texture depletion by water and provides a 'cool' solution to quench the thirsty world."
The foundation and key concepts of this work is based on a research paper published under the advanced materials section of the Wiley Online Library.
The stunning images he has captured in his research clearly shows the beauty and artistic nature of engineering and it's something Chatterjee wants to share with the world.
"I enjoy telling a story via images because 'a picture is worth a thousand words,'" he said. "I occasionally participate in such competitions to showcase my ongoing research."
These contests are not the first time he has entered a picture into a competition. Last year, Chatterjee was a finalist in the Image of Research contest with a stunning photo entitled "Mhysa," which was captured from his doctoral research on anti-icing systems.
"I like showcasing my research in the form of images or informative videos to reach out to a broader audience," he said.
See videos of Chatterjee's research here and here.

Police Stop Eminem Show In Scotland
Police had to temporarily stop an Eminem concert after 45 people were injured when the audience surged forward as the controversial rap star came on stage.
None of the injuries from the Saturday concert were serious. Police said eleven people were taken to local hospitals and released after treatment. The others were treated at first aid tents set up around the outdoor concert site.
Eminem, who was asked by police to stay backstage until the injured people were removed from the crowd, was allowed to continued his show at Glasgow's "Gig in the Green" festival after a 30 minute break.
"Eminem and his band did all they could to help the situation and we are grateful for his support," said a spokesman for Strathclyde police.
Some 30,000 people attended the first day of the two-day rock festival, which was also targeted by protesters Saturday. Religious groups said they were protesting against what they called the "anti-Christian message" in shows by the Detroit rapper Eminem and Marilyn Manson.
Acts scheduled to perform Sunday include Iggy Pop, Green Day and Travis.

This new addition, conceptualized by Portico Group, includes a new large, lush habitat for the tigers and orangutans (not together!), and massive play structure for kids and adults, including several small sized rides. The purpose was to create interactivity between animals and people, and allow guests understand that all creatures play. In fact, the orangs play so well, that one has already found a way to escape, only to be lured back to her exhibit with ice cream!
The writers over at MiceAge, a site dedicated to the Disney parks, took time out to experience the attraction and write up a review. According to them, the attraction is a real win, and touches on the idea of enrichment-based design for guests and animals alike. Enjoy!

Cargo Scanner: SIFAX Group Boss Calls for Govt's Swift Attention – Sifax Group
Cargo Scanner: SIFAX Group Boss Calls for Govt's Swift Attention
By | October 3rd, 2017
In view of the recurrent cases of illegal arm importation into the country through the seaport, Dr. Taiwo Afolabi, Group Executive Vice Chairman, SIFAX Group, has challenged the Federal Government to expedite action on the provision of scanners at various seaports in the country.
2,671 firearms have been seized by the Nigerian Customs Service on four separate occasions at the Tin Can Island Port, Apapa this year alone. Turkey has been identified as the country of origin of these illegal importations.
While expressing displeasure at the slow pace of government in addressing the problem of faulty scanners at the port that has compelled men of the Nigerian Customs Service to resort to 100 percent physical examination of cargo, Dr. Taiwo Afolabi said this situation has the potential of compromising the national security of the country.
He said: "Within eight months, the number of illegal arms that have been imported into the country through the port is staggering and distressing. I am convinced that the absence of needed facilities like the scanner at the ports is what has emboldened these unpatriotic criminals to keep importing these arms. There is little that the Customs can do to prevent this when they are not well equipped.
"I am worried that the Federal Government has not shown the kind of swift response and decisiveness that this illegal importation demands. The way to go is to urgently provide scanners at the port."
Aside national security compromise, Afolabi also said lack of facilities will hinder the economic direction of the government as captured in the Ease of Doing Business executive order signed months ago by the then acting President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo. The cargo clearing process under the present condition, according to Afolabi, would remain cumbersome and make the port unattractive and without any competitive edge.
To address the provision of the scanners, Afolabi urged the government to take advantage of private sector financing, in view of the current dwindling financial capability of government.
"I have been an advocate of concessioning the port scanning services in the country. The country is just exiting recession and the government does not have the financial muscle to undertake this kind of huge capital investment. Just like the government concessioned the seaports in 2006, which has yielded great results and turned the maritime sector around, the concessioning of the port scanning services will also help in improving efficiency at the port and curb the dangers associated with 100% physical examination currently being embarked upon by men of the Nigeria Customs Service.
"I want to urge the government to expedite action in the concessioning of scanning services at the ports. The terminal operators are capable of investing in the scanning services to create more revenue for the country, curb the importation of arms and other dangerous cargoes into the country and also make the Ease of Doing Business Executive Order successful", he explained.
Arms Container is not From Ports & Cargo Terminal, says SIFAX Group

Q: Meaning and usage of "she has her heart in the right place" I once read a phrase (or idiom) like

He has his heart in the right place

although the context seemed to be a bit harsh.  My understanding is: though he might have sounded harsh, he means well or is making the comment in good faith.  Did I get it right?
However, it seems to me the idiom could be used in other contexts as well, such as: "he is focused on the situation as expected, no matter how it seems".  Is this right? Are there any other uses of the idiom?

A: It means that he meant well, but it also invites the inference that what he tried to do didn't work out well.
In English, the heart is the seat of the emotions, and the brain is the seat of logical thought (metaphorically, of course).
So Grice's Maxim of Quantity would then suggest that if all you can say about him is that his heart is in the right place, then his brain is likely somewhere else.

Vision 2020: Dr A P J Abdul Kalam
Updated on November 4, 2017 by TopRankers
India Vision 2020 was initially a document prepared by the Technology Information, Forecasting and Assessment Council of India's Department of Science and Technology under the chairmanship of Dr. Kalam and a team of 500 experts. The same plan is further detailed and discussed elaborately in the book India 2020: A Vision for the New Millennium, which Dr. Kalam coauthored with Dr. YS Rajan.
In Dr. Kalam's own words, the plan is about "transforming the nation into a developed country, five areas in combination have been identified based on India's core competence, natural resources and talented manpower for integrated action to double the growth rate of GDP and realize the Vision of Developed India."
The document not only recognizes five distinct areas which will enable us to become a developed country but also creates a distinctive profile for a developed India.
The distinctive profile of a developed India is a nation wherein the rural-urban divide is reduced as much as possible, a nation where there is equitable distribution of and adequate access to energy and quality water, and a nation where the three sectors of the economy work in symphony with each other. The profile envisions a nation where education with a good value system is not denied to meritorious candidates due to societal or economic discrimination and one which is a hub for the most talented scholars, scientists, and investors from around the world. Developed India is a nation where the best of healthcare is available to all, poverty has been eradicated, and illiteracy removed, crimes against women or children absent and one where no individual feels alienated. It is a nation where governance is responsive, transparent and corruption-free, a nation that is prosperous, healthy, secure, devoid of terrorism, peaceful and happy, and continues on a sustainable growth path one which is one of the best places to live in and is proud of its leadership.
The areas recognized that require focus for the successful fulfillment of this vision are:
1. Agriculture and food processing: Aimed at doubling the present production of agricultural and food processing.
2. Infrastructure with reliable electric power: Providing urban amenities to rural areas, and increasing solar power operations.
3. Education and Healthcare: Directed towards illiteracy, social security, and overall health for the population.
4. Information and Communication Technology: For increased e-governance to promote education in remote areas, telecommunication, and telemedicine.
5. Critical technologies and strategic industries: The growth of nuclear technology, space technology and defense technology.
With four years to go for the benchmark that was set by Dr Kalam, Vision 2020 seems like another plan which looked good on paper but could not be implemented in our country. The government's focus has also shifted, from Vision 2020 to Vision 2035, which was also created by the Technology Information, Forecasting and Assessment Council of India's Department of Science and Technology.

Lanarkshire tops the list for drug deaths in Scotland during the first half of 2019
If these figures were to be replicated in the second half of the year, the annual total for 2019 would be over 1300 deaths.

Lanarkshire has topped the list for drug deaths in Scotland with 2019 set to go down as the worst year in history.
Shock figures from Police Scotland covering the first half of last year show that there were 684 deaths linked to drugs in Scotland.
If these figures were to be replicated in the second half of the year, the annual total for 2019 would be 1368 deaths.
The eye-watering figure would top 2018's 1187 deaths – the highest in Scotland since records began and an increase of 14 per cent.
The new figures from Police Scotland are split into force divisions and taken from January 1 to June 30 last year.
Lanarkshire topped the list with 49 confirmed deaths, followed by Tayside at 44, Ayrshire with 43 and Greater Glasgow 42. Edinburgh recorded nine deaths with 35 in Fife.
Newmains lad pens beautiful poem, venting his anger at mental health services
Our national sister paper, the Daily Record, has led the way in exposing Scotland's drug death crisis, warning in 2016 that a rise in the use of fake valium pills alongside other substances was killing hundreds.
The newspaper joined a range of experts in campaigning for a change in the law to treat drug use as a health issue rather than a criminal problem.
Police Scotland also revealed that there are 123 deaths being investigated as possibly drug-related in Greater Glasgow, with 39 in Edinburgh and 29 in Ayrshire.
Scotland's drug death rate is nearly three times that of the UK as a whole and is higher than that reported for any other EU country.
There were more drug-related deaths in Scotland in 2018 than the 1136 fatalities due to alcohol.

The figures also meant Scotland has a higher drug death rate than the US, which was previously thought to be the highest in the world.
There were more than 70,000 drug deaths in the US in 2017.
However, the rate of 217 per million of the American population is now marginally lower than Scotland's overall rate of 218.
The Scottish Government has called for greater powers over drug policy to help tackle the crisis.
A spokesman said: "We have invested almost £800million to tackle problem alcohol and drug use since 2008.
Plans for a new block of flats in Wishaw town centre have been the go-ahead
"And our 2018 alcohol and drug strategy set out how an additional £20 million per annum announced the year before is being used to improve local prevention, treatment, and recovery services in areas all across Scotland."
The spokesman went on to add that a further £20million of investment over two years to support local services and "provide targeted support" was included in the 2019-20 programme for government.
At this time last year, the Wishaw Press reported that 509 drug-linked deaths had been recorded in Scotland for the first six months of 2018.
This went on to more than double with the final annual total reaching 1187 deaths.


Across our properties in The Gambia, some stunning views of the country's coastline can be enjoyed. We've put together a list of some of our favourites.
Two of the major benefits of a holiday to The Gambia combine wonderfully around this time of year, and right on cue too. As the skies become grey and rainy in the UK and we all begin to dig out our winter coats, The Gambia's coastline and its glorious weather are thriving. November welcomes average highs of 32°C and sparks six glorious months of increasing temperatures and decreasing humidity.
Many will flock to the beaches around The Gambia at this time of year, which is easily done when you consider that many of our most popular hotels boast beachfront locations. There's nothing better than waking up on holiday to the sight and sound of the sea, and with that in mind, we've put together a list of some of our favourite sea views in The Gambia, all enjoyed from one of our fantastic properties.
Poised high above a quiet cove and displaying some of the most memorable views of the sea in the whole of The Gambia, Ngala Lodge has to feature on this list. One of the most memorable ways to enjoy the views here is over dinner at the lodge's remarkable restaurant.
A wonderful and luxury beachfront property with a wide choice of room options, many of which boast lovely sea views, Coco Ocean is a small piece of heaven, perhaps most valued for its incredible spa facilities.
Enjoying a lovely beachfront setting at Kotu, Kombo Beach is a fun and lively hotel with magnificent panoramas of the ocean. Whether you enjoy views of the sea from the sandy beach or from the Barracuda beachside bar, you'll firmly agree that Kombo Beach belongs on this list.
A small and welcoming lodge which presents a haven of peace and quiet, as well as a traditional appearance, White Horse Residence peers out over the gorgeous ocean in the distance; best enjoyed from the comfort of the pool or a sunlounger.
An authentic African experience is what awaits those staying at African Village, as well as a friendly atmosphere and great facilities in the form of an inviting pool and great sunbathing area. The sea views aren't bad either, especially from the on-site restaurant.
A modern hotel of tranquility and style, Leo's Beach Hotel is an adult-only boutique property famed for its glorious pool and equally glorious views across to the ocean. All the rooms are spacious, bright and airy, with the five standard rooms affording lovely sea views.
You can enjoy a multitude of other fine views across all of our properties. See if you can find your favourite from our diverse accommodation collection.

UR-100: as the Secretary Khrushchev chose the mass missile strategic missile forces (part 2)
". For missile defense"Actually solved the fate of the future "Soviet "Minuteman" — the first in the history of soviet light icbm ampoule type. Word the then secretary general of the cpsu central committee nikita khrushchev changed the outcome of the rivalry between the yangel and chelomei — at that stage. Here's how it looks in the documents. Download 8к84 missiles in tpk in a mine launcher, and a view of the wedge mine open a protective device.
Photo from http://www. Arms-expo. Ru23 march 1963 the central committee of the cpsu has left a covering letter to the draft decree about the beginning of work on "Easy" intercontinental ballistic missile. It was signed by the deputy chairman of the government commission on military-technical issues, sergey vetoshkin (the second person in this department after Dmitry ustinov), marshal rodion Malinovsky, head of goskomvoenprom peter dementiev, the chairman of moskomregistratsia valery kalmykov, chairman goskomzema (responsible for the entire nuclear industry) efim slavsky, commander of air defense marshal Vladimir sudets and two of marshal Sergei biryuzov and matvey zakharov, the first of which was then commander of the strategic missile forces and a few days later succeeded as the second, held the position of chief of the general staff of the armed forces of the ussr. Here what was his text:"Sov. Sekretniki kssw accordance with the instructions of the cpsu central committee submitted a draft resolution on the development of the okb-52 of the state committee of the ussr council of ministers on aviation technology computer-aided missile system with a universal product ur-100 ampoule type with a simplified mining start. A proposal for the development of the complex ur-100, was presented to the designers chelomei vols. , by pruginin, ryazan, kosberg, mints and rsplatinum. Missile ur-100 is being developed as a universal to destroy ground targets and for missile defense.

The project, which is attached to this letter just one week were considered at the session of the presidium of the cpsu central committee and adopted almost without change, becoming a famous joint decree no. 389-140 of the cpsu central committee and ussr council of ministers.
It is also worth it to bring it up with little notes:"Special papasov.

Alas, but the development of okb-586 under the leadership of Mikhail chelomei, "Easy" intercontinental missile r-37 and sunk into oblivion. Sunk, despite repeated requests by the designer in the cpsu central committee and personally to nikita khrushchev asking you to temper this in the winter of 1963 a promise and resolve to refine more than one system, but two. However, soon khrushchev became the pensioner of national importance, and took its place leonid brezhnev to that promise nothing had. Pad at the site of baikonur, which was carried out the first ground launches of ur-100.

They began on 19 april 1965 at the test site tyr-tam (baikonur) launch from a ground launcher. Three months later, on july 17, carried out the first launch from a silo, but only until the end of the test, i. E. Until 27 october 1966, the new missile managed to make 60 launches.
In the end, the soviet strategic missile forces have received "Light" intercontinental ballistic missile launch weight of 42. 3 tons, of which 38,1 t had fuel, two warheads — with a capacity of 500 kilotons or megatons of 1. 1 and a range of 10 600 km (with "Light" warhead) or 5,000 km ("Heavy"). While the ur-100 was learning to fly, allied okb-52 worked on the creation of appropriate infrastructure. Branch no. 2 design bureau, established shortly after a decision on the development of a "Weave", engaged in work on creation of transport-launch container (tlc) for her. Because the rocket was not just to be analizowana, that is fueled directly into the factory — it should have been installed in the mine as quickly and simple and does not require any complicated maintenance work.
To achieve this it was decided two tasks. The first is the exclusion of the possibility of leakage and mixing of the high-boiling fuel, which the designers achieved by installing diaphragm valves between the fuel tank and propulsion system. And the second is providing as simple and automated service, which is fully assembled and fueled a missile directly at the plant were placed in a tpk, which ur-100 left only in the moment of start (or trim). This container was one of those unique technical devices, which provided the ur-100 long military service. After the rocket has taken its place in the tpk, he was sealed on top with a special film — and "Weaving" i had no more contact with the environment, while remaining inaccessible to corrosion and other hazardous chemical processes.
All further actions with the rocket made exclusively remotely via four special socket in the container in which the connected wires of system of external control and control and gas communication for prelaunch pressurization of fuel tanks with compressed nitrogen and air. Another technical innovation was the system of "Separate start", in which each silo launcher for ur-100 defended from the other at a distance of several kilometers. When you consider that in a missile regiment, armed with which there were complex 15п084 rocket 8к84 (army code "Weave"), it becomes clear that even a nuclear strike on location is not supposed to disable more than two or three silos allowed the others to strike back. Layout 8к84 missiles in the launcher shaft of a separate start. Photo from http://kollektsiya. Ruсама same mine launcher ur-100 was a mine depth is 22,85 m and a diameter of 4. 2 m, which with the help of a special machine-the installer placed a sealed tpk with a missile inside. Mine had a cap, which housed the ground check the circuit breaker and battery, and closed the heavy lid with a diameter of 10-11 m, which drove away on the rails.
Near one of these mines was located and the command post trench type, that is constructed in a specially dug for him a pit and assembled directly on site. Such a transmission was, unfortunately, much worse is protected from the effects of nuclear weapons of the enemy, and it was disappointing military. After all, if the silo missiles ur-100 can withstand even a nuclear explosion at a distance of 1,300 meters from the installation, what was the use of this, if the same explosion destroyed the command post and the command "Start!" there was simply no one?! therefore, later in the kb heavy engineering was developed kp shaft-type, which was placed in the mine, like rocket and had virtually the same protection. Another technical innovation applied in the missile ur-100, was the correction system in flight. By tradition, the responsible individual small motors that require separate systems for fuel supply and management.
The "Weaving" have decided the issue differently: a change of direction during flight on the first stage she answered the main engines, nozzles which could deflect in a horizontal plane by a few degrees. But they were enough to rocket the team to the inertial guidance system can get back on course if she took it off. But the second stage was equipped on.

U.S. District Judge Kurt D. Engelhardt sentenced GEIGER to 220 months imprisonment, to be followed by four years of supervised release.
GEIGER was originally charged in a five-count Superseding Indictment with nine other YMM members, who frequented the area of the former Melpomene Housing Project. According to the factual basis filed in open court, GEIGER and other YMM members participated in a wide ranging conspiracy to distribute street level quantities of crack cocaine in Central City and participated in several acts of violence against rival gangs, such as the 110ers. The members of the YMM were associates of the members of the Allen family, who were also indicted and convicted in federal court last year. Three members of the 110ers gang were convicted on January 29, 2015, in Orleans Parish Criminal Court for the Briana Allen shooting.
U.S. Attorney Polite praised the work of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) in leading this investigation along with members of the NOPD led Multi-Agency Gang Unit (MAG UNIT). Assistant United States Attorneys Edward J. Rivera and Maurice E. Landrieu, Jr. were in charge of the prosecution.

Q: Haskell equivalent for python -m http.server? Is there a way to start a http server to serve static files right from shell using ghc -e or runhaskell ?

A: The wai-app-static package ships with an executable named warp. This can be run from the command line to get a static file server. You can look at its implementation to see how you can reimplement that behavior from runhaskell.

A: https://hackage.haskell.org/package/hserv is also an option, this also uses wai-app-static.

Four hundred years of peace in China until the noble white man came, first with his opium containers and missionaries and then with his oil-can- since then peace has been conspicuous by its absence. In the early days, not so long ago, before the influence of white man's refreshment took hold, the noble Red Man in our own/ and lived to a grand old age- Chief John Smith, the last time, saw him in Bena or Ball Club, Minn., was 134 years old. I suppose he has gone ton the happy hunting ground by now far that was 25 years ago. My la grippe took one look at the sun today (Meh 31) and reduced itself to "grunt" stage. You have social security; you pay income tax to the state and one to Washington, the HOLE is about to take over your house; your job at the plant is endangered by the quarrel between several dissociated unions (unsocial condition to be sure) and you have night sweats, wet around the collar- that's why some wisecracker said: " lower the halo six inches and it makes a nice noose." - What's the matter with that crack? Nothing at all- the man stubbed his toe on a great truth, Enough of that said, editor- opinions differ. One witness says "the man tried to kick the the complainants teeth into his throat"; the other says "the complainant was trying to bite-off the defendants toe." So there you are- we hardly know what to believe. But even so as swallowed teeth are good evidence (if they actually can be produced and you have a witness that the"cherry stones") came out- or an able liar that effect- or a missing toe with the additional testimony that the may he mite see me very well fed for these pardons times, so too an empty emphoard is positive proof the parasite have cleaned out our root cellars- and rathskellers.
