Top choice archaeological site in Split
Image by xbrchx Five Hundred Pixels
The ruins of the ancient city of Salona, situated at the foot of the mountains just northeast of Split, are the most archaeologically important in Croatia. Start by paying your admission fee at Tusculum, near the northern entrance to the reserve. Built in 1898 by the site's ground-breaking archaeologist Monsignor Frane Bulić as a base for his research, it has a Roman-style drawing room with displays on the early archaeology undertaken here.

Salona was first mentioned as an Illyrian town in 119 BC and it's thought that it already had walls by then. The Romans seized the site in 78 BC and under the rule of Augustus it became the administrative headquarters of the empire's Dalmatian province. When Emperor Diocletian built his palace in Split at the end of the 3rd century AD, it was the proximity to Salona that attracted him. That grand history all came to a crashing halt in the 7th century, when the city was levelled by the invading Avars and then the Slavs. The inhabitants fled to take refuge within Diocletian's old palace walls and on the neighbouring islands, leaving Salona to decay.
While many of Salona's ancient treasures are now on display in Split's Archaeological Museum, there's a surprising amount in situ. Numerous sarcophagi are scattered about the area known as Manastirine, between the car park and the museum. This was a burial place for Christian martyrs prior to the decriminalisation of Christianity and includes the substantial remains of an early basilica.
From Tusculum, a path bordered by cypresses runs south to the northern city wall. From here you can get an overview of the foundations of buildings that compose the Episcopal Centre, including a three-aisled 5th-century cathedral with an octagonal baptistery, and the remains of Bishop Honorius' basilica, with a ground plan in the form of a Greek cross. The ruins of public baths sit just across the narrow lane at the rear of the basilica.
Just beyond this complex and slightly to the right is the monumental 1st-century eastern city gate, Porta Caesarea, later engulfed by the city as it spread eastward. Grooves in the stone road left by ancient wheels can still be seen here, along with the remains of a covered aqueduct that ran along the top of the wall. It was probably built around the 1st century AD and supplied both Salona and Diocletian's Palace with water from the Jadro River.
The original city spread west from here to the huge 2nd-century amphitheatre, destroyed in the 17th century by the Venetians to prevent it from being used as a refuge by Turkish raiders. At one time it could accommodate 18,000 spectators, which gives an idea of the size and importance of ancient Salona.
The main path leading to the amphitheatre follows the line of the ancient wall. Just to the right of the path (ie outside the wall) you'll pass another early Christian cemetery, where the remains of some of those killed in the amphitheatre were once buried, along with the ruins of the Five Martyrs Basilica, built in their honour.
Further ruins can be found among the vineyards and orchards to the left of the path, including the scant remains of the Forum and, nearby, a theatre and a Temple of Dionysus.
Salona is easily accessible on Split city bus 1 (single/return 13/22KN), which goes all the way to the parking lot every half-hour, departing from Trg Gaje Bulata.

Linking host stress responses and personality to parasite dynamics
A gyrodactylid parasite. © T.A.Bakke. These monogenean worms show exponential growth on their hosts. They are ubiquitous ectoparasites of teleost fish, and have a huge economic impact on species used in fisheries, aquaculture and the aquarium trade. This specimen is Gyrodactylus salaris, a species that has devastated the Norwegian salmon fishery.
Behaviours that are consistent across time and context are equivalent to personality in humans. Behaviours, including those relating to personality, are often linked to stress physiology. For example, animals that show a larger hormonal response to a stressor (release more stress hormone) will frequently also show a larger behavioural response, and will generally be shyer, more risk averse, and less active. The link between behavior and stress physiology is likely to be complex, and may be at least partially due to correlated selection, or the pleiotropic effects of one set of genes on both behavior and stress physiology, or behaviour may itself be partially determined by underlying stress physiology. Ultimately, consistent differences in behaviour and/or physiology will have fitness consequences for individuals.
I am using a fish host – gyrodactylid parasite system (the guppy, Poecilia reticulata, and Gyrodactylus turnbulli) to test the consequences of variation in personality and stress responsiveness on disease dynamics: How do they affect susceptibility to infection, and the transmission of infections between individuals? In many studies of host-parasite interactions, and especially in models of host-parasite dynamics, hosts are assumed to all be similar. However, in reality, this is never the case: As well as personality and stress responsiveness, individuals vary in their sex, age, reproductive status and in many other ways. Using information about the causes of variability in susceptibility and transmission increases our understanding of how parasite populations spread within and between host populations.
This research was funded by a Marie Curie International Incoming Fellowship, as part of the 7th European Community Framework Programme . The project is officially called "The role of host personality and stress responses in parasite dynamics" (Para-PeSt). It was hosted within the School of Biological Sciences of Cardiff University by Dr. Jo Cable.
The effects of predation pressure on behaviour and physiology
How do ecological variables shape the behaviour and stress responses of animals? I am particularly interested in the role of predation pressure, a strong natural selection pressure in the wild. Prey animals in different populations coexist with different species and numbers of predators. These differences in predation pressure result in predictable differences in a whole range of life history traits, including behaviour and physiology.
The effects of predation pressure are particularly evident in some prey species, where populations differ greatly in the number of predators that they co-exist with. Classic examples of this include some freshwater livebearing fish. I have worked with the guppy (Poecilia reticulata) from Trinidad and Tobago, and the Panamanian bishop (Brachyrhaphis episcopi). Experiments have included both lab and field work, and have involved the measurement of natural variation both between and within populations, as well as experimental manipulations.

As well as investigating how stress hormones and personality are related, I am also interested in using measures of stress hormones and behavior to improve the welfare of captive animals. I have measured stress hormones using radio-immunoassay (RIA) in blood samples from Xenopus laevis, the most common amphibian found in laboratories. I now quantify fish stress hormones using enzyme-immunoassay (EIA). Hormones are collected remotely from water samples that have held individual fish: Fish pass hormones over their gills, and these are then extracted from the holding water and analyzed with EIA. This means that even small fish can be sampled, repeatedly and non-invasively.

Stephen Harper's ministers counter green groups' "black out" with PR campaign
Posted on October 19, 2012 by Mike De Souza
Published by Postmedia News on Monday June 4, 2012
OTTAWA – Prime Minister Stephen Harper's cabinet ministers fanned out across the country Monday to counter a "black out" campaign launched by charities that are accusing the government of using budgetary measures to weaken federal environmental oversight and intimidate critics.
Led by Natural Resources Minister Joe Oliver, the cabinet ministers used their campaign to tout the government's budget plan and its supporting legislation, which would rewrite several environmental laws and significantly reduce the number of federal scientists monitoring Canada's air, wildlife, waterways and oceans.
More than 500 groups, including some south of the border in the United States, symbolically blacked out their websites to protest the measures in the budget and its supporting legislation, Bill C-38. They claim the plan is the result of intensive lobby efforts from the oil and gas industry.
The groups have also denounced some ministers in government for making unfounded allegations that suggest the groups are involved in criminal conspiracies. The charities further questioned the motives behind increased federal funding for the Canada Revenue Agency to investigate their operations.
Among the allegations, Environment Minister Peter Kent has in the past accused the groups of doing "money laundering" – before admitting it was a "figure of speech." His Conservative colleagues in the Senate have also suggested Canadian environmentalists are conspiring with aliens from another planet and terrorists.
Oliver and nine other cabinet ministers argued Monday that the budget and its supporting measures would boost economic growth without sacrificing environmental-protection measures and policies.
"Responsible resource development will ensure that our abundant natural resources are developed in a sustainable way for the benefit of all Canadians," Oliver said at an event in Gatineau, Que., near Ottawa.
Rick Smith, the executive director of Environmental Defence, a charity group that has worked closely with the Harper government in support of its plan to manage toxic manmade substances, mocked the ministers for their efforts to contradict the "black out" campaign.
"The amazing thing is that when these 10 ministers speak, you can barely see Big Oil's lips moving," Smith joked at a news conference. "Make no mistake, Bill C-38 is not a simple budget measure. It's the latest expression of an agenda to dismember any effective federal oversight of environmental protection."
He noted that the Conservative party never campaigned on any of the policy changes it is now proposing in government, but was pressed into action because of U.S. President Barack Obama's 2011 decision to delay approval of TransCanada Corp.'s Keystone XL pipeline expansion project, which would allow Canadian oil companies to increase exports to refineries on the gulf coast of Texas.
Smith said that other companies in the forestry, fisheries and mining industry have worked with conservation groups to reduce their environmental footprints and promote sustainable development, but the oil and gas industry is taking an adversarial approach.
"There's one industry in this country that's knuckle-dragging, that is aggressive, that is used to getting its own way and that clearly, in the wake of the Keystone XL decision, went like a bunch of crybabies to the federal government, demanding that the government do something to push through these pipeline projects at all costs," Smith said.
"The one commonality of all these changes to environmental statute is that their undermining was on the oil industry's wish list," Smith said.
Travis Davies, a spokesman for the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers, defended the federal government's proposed overhaul of environmental protection laws, expressing "frustration" that "activists have chosen name-calling over constructive debate."
He said that regulatory reform is not weakening environmental outcomes.
"It's about timely decisions, clear process, public transparency and an efficient regulatory regime for all Canadian industries that helps Canada compete for global capital," said Davies, echoing arguments adopted by the government.
"Today's blackout campaign completely ignores the fact that regulatory reform is necessary and applicable to all Canada's major projects (and) industries, and will increase Canada's competitiveness, ability to attract investment, employment and overall economic strength while continuing to meet the same environmental requirements as previous."
Davies added the reforms were also positive changes for other sectors, such as mining, forestry, infrastructure and manufacturing as well as other development plans, such as the Ring of Fire in Ontario and Quebec's Plan Nord.
Quebec Premier Jean Charest has said regulatory reforms were not necessary in Quebec since a joint environmental review process has already reduced levels of duplication.
NDP leader Thomas Mulcair also criticized the government in the House of Commons on Monday for suggesting it would replace a specialized team of Environment Canada smokestack monitoring scientists, by outsourcing work to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
"Usually countries try to take care of their own environment," Mulcair said. "We don't outsource it."
Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism Minister Jason Kenney responded that his government has made more environmental progress than any other regime in "the history of the dominion," through various measures, such as stronger tailpipe standards for vehicles, restrictions on toxins, and increased enforcement policies.

CD Release Party 8/13/17
Bassist/Composer/Artist-Darryl Williams
San Diego native Darryl Williams is a naturally gifted musician, who began playing bass at the young age of 13. Only two years into his young career as a bassist, Mr. Williams was playing at local clubs and events around the San Diego area. During this time he had the opportunity to open up for smash RnB group Lakeside. Darryl also played with Gospel Legend Shirley Caesar at age 16. Soon after graduating from high school, Williams did a four month tour in Japan with other young talented musicians, which he states as being "unforgettable." Upon returning to the States, Mr. Williams and the same band in which he played with in Japan, did a three month tour opening for soul legend Al Green. After that tour, Darryl enrolled in the Jazz Program at San Diego State University and studied with San Diego legends Gunner Biggs and Rick Helzer.
Darryl Williams' passion and desire to grow as a musician lead him to studying under teachers and mentors who would provide him with this growth. Some of the very well known mentors he studied alongside include former Miles Davis and John Coltrane's bassist Marshall Hawkins, Sarah Vaughn's bassist Bob Magnusson, great San Diego bassist Cecil Mcbee Jr., and San Diego sax icon Hollis Gentry III. By age 21, Williams was a regular in the San Diego music scene. He performed regularly with artists like Hollis Gentry, Evan Marks, Patrick Yandall and Grammy Award winning pianist Kamau Kenyatta just to name a few.
In 1997, Williams took a big career move in heading to Las Vegas and performed regularly at all the prestigious hotels and casinos, where he worked with headliners and recording artists. One of the artists Williams performed regularly with was Las Vegas Hall of Fame inductee Clint Holmes. In 1999, Williams was hired as the Musical Director for The International House Of Blues Foundation, where he began working with artists whom he would record several projects with. From 2001 to 2003, Williams was one of the in-house bassists at the world renowned Blue Note Jazz Club. He performed with sax legend Chico Freeman, RnB legend Angela Bofil, and was the bassist and co- host of the Sunday Night Blue Note Jam Session. Darryl was also the second call bassist for Chaka Khan from 2003-2004, which he performed with several times across the States. From 2003 to 2007 Williams worked with many different recording artists in Las Vegas. Some of the artists he performed alongside were Ronnie Foster, Ghalib Ghallab, Tevin Campbell, Clint Holmes, Keith Washington, Skip Martin, Howard Hewitt, and many more.
In September of 2007, Williams relocated to California where he released his first solo CD "That Was Then". Williams received high praises from several top smooth jazz writers and dj's for his successful album. In one Jazz Times Magazine article, dated October 2008, jazz writer Brian Soergel said, "Is there room for another smooth jazz bassist to join the ranks of Wayman Tisdale, Brian Bromberg, Michael Manson and Gerald Veasley? In the case of Darryl Williams the answer is an enthusiastic yes!" Two of Williams songs from his debut album were featured on the Weather Channel. The songs can also be heard today on Sirius XM radio, Music Choice, as well as international and national radio stations alike.
From 2007 to present day, Williams has performed and toured with the who's who of Smooth Jazz and RnB. Some notable names he has performed and toured with include Euge Groove, Michael Lington, Norman Brown, Gerald Albright, Howard Hewitt, Richard Elliot, Ray Parker Jr, Kirk Whalum, Mindi Abair, Keiko Matsui, Rick Braun, Jonathan Butler, Jeff Lorber, Peter White, Gregg Karukas, The Sax Pack, Kim Waters, Steve Cole, Brenda Russell, Kenny Lattimore, Jeff Golub, Howard Hewitt, Paul Brown, Taylor Dayne, Darren Rahn, Michael Paulo, Jessy J, Everette Harp, Jeff Kashiwa, Eric Darius, and many more. Darryl, on top of everything else, is also one of the main stage bassists for the Dave Koz and Friends Jazz Cruise. Williams continues to record today and can be heard on several artists records including Jackiem Joyner, Blake Aaron, U-Nam, Jonathan Fritzen, Nils Jiptner, Will Donato, Al Degregoris, Kay-Ta Matsuno, Michael Paulo, Cal Harris Jr, Gianni Vancini and many more.
In 2017, Williams released his second CD "Here To Stay" with critical acclaim, and garnering a Billboard top ten hit with the title track which features Smooth Jazz Superstar Euge Groove! The CD features some of today's most dynamic jazz artists. Jazz writer Ronald Jackson wrote, "Fueled by the presence and contributions of such luminaries as guitarists Paul Brown, Adam Hawley and U-Nam; keyboardists/pianists Jonathan Fritzen, Greg Manning, Scott Wilkie, and the prolific and iconic Jeff Lorber; saxmen Michael Lington, Elan Trotman, Marcus Anderson, and Euge Groove, the latter also serving as co-producer of this fine project, Williams beats a solid groove path from the infectious title track to the slick and polished mid-tempo lure of "Now or Never" to the up-tempo dancer "Do You Remember" to the soulful and easy "Reflections" to the mid-tempo finger-snappin' "Harveston Way" and beyond!"
This year looks to be another exciting one as Williams is set to release his second single, "Do You Remember", which features dynamic saxman Michael Lington. With high expectations for 2018, you can rest assured that Darryl Williams is "Here To Stay!"

I'm very interested in getting one of these. I'm leaning towards the Jawbone UP3 but have heard mixed reviews. But that's pretty consistent with all fitness trackers.
If you have one, which one? Do you like it? Why or why not? Pros and cons are all welcome.
I have a Fitbit One.
I like it. I wear it clipped onto my undershirt (I don't wear a bra generally... I know, I'm a weirdo).
I like that I don't have to swing my arms for it to know I'm moving.
It syncs via bluetooth with both my phone (windows phone) and laptop, which I like. I use the vibrating alarm in the morning and it has TOTALLY CHANGED the way my morning starts... it's so much nicer to be gently buzzed awake than to hear a screeching alarm startle me out of sleep!
I like that it tracks my sleep as well.
I didn't pay for mine directly... I chose it as a credit card reward, but I really like it and it was worth the "cost" of not getting something else.
I also like the program/app that runs with it that lets me set my goals and keeps me on track etc. I'm not trying to lose weight generally. I actually like it because it reminds me what I'm doing and when I SHOULD eat something or drink some water, and when I've had a lazy day and probably should say no to a big slice of cake!
Yes, I started using the MyFitnessPal app, then got a Fitbit for Christmas. I finally synched them, and it's pretty slick. I track food and what type of exercise I do on MFP on my phone, and it tells the FitBit.
I do agree that it's odd, steps aren't all created equal - for example, you could really work hard at yoga or doing push-ups or planking, and it wouldn't really count for steps (which adjusts your caloric count).
So, basically, they're tools to use, but YOU have to be the one to use them well!
No but while messing with my new iPhone I see it has some deal that tracks my steps. No idea it does that!!!
It's pretty cool and now I do watch it to monitor my steps per day!!
I had a Jawbone UP24 and now wear a MisFit Flash (gave my MisFit Shine to hubby). I like the MisFit better. In 6 months I went through 3 Jawbones, they just stop holding a charge. This is a very common problem if you google it. Only issue I've had with my MisFit is that with the Flash it occasionally pops out if you press it at the wrong angle. This happens more with my kid's Flashes than with mine (they were on sale for $25 so everyone got one, lol). It doesn't really look like a tracker, it looks like a watch, is comfortable, waterproof, and I don't have to charge it (uses a watch battery). Can't say any of those things about the Jawbone. Only downside I've found is it doesn't log my workout classes accurately - I'm panting and sweating like a pig by the end but it gives me less steps than equivalent to a 2 mile run, and since I run I know I worked harder than a 2 mile run. However I don't know if the Jawbone (or any other tracker) would do better at this as I never wore my Jawbone to fitness class.
I like my Fitbit. The food tracking system I can access with it is very easy to use. And I like that it cheers me on. I also like the silent alarms (vibrating alarm) when I reach my goals. I also like that I can set an alarm to wake or alert me that it's time to go get my kids.
I have the fitbit flex and have not ever had a prolem with it falling off. That said, this is my third one as my previous two quit working/malfuncitoned. Both times they were replaced for free, but i started NT weearin in the shower etc.
I like the step tracking as a way to see how active I've been but I really don't use it in terms of motiavting me to do anything - I'm super busy and it kind of give some positive reinforcement that I truly do "run around like an idot" all day long.
One of my favorite features is the sleep tracking - it's so cool to see how well or how poorly I selpt each night (and how little).
As others have mentioned I also like the silent alarm in the morning.
I got my daughter a jawbone for christmas and find it much more inconvenient. Perhaps I haven't set it up right, but it took awhile to set up and I can only get it to sync with the app on my iPad when I physically plug it in - it doesn't sync wirelessly as far as I can tell. I was totally unable to set it up on her android device.
SO by far I like the fitbot better.
i have a garmin. it's great most of the time. sometimes the site has issues, though. and i had to have my husband set mine up- it's just too complicated for me.
i'll probably look for something simpler the next time around.
I've had a Fitbit for over a year and I really love it. In the past, where I might have slacked off for a day or two, now I feel motivated to meet my steps goal. It helps that I'm linked up to a few friends and we all compete with each other.
I have not lost mine, but several people I know have. A friend just showed me the newest model which has a better wristband - much less likely to fall off.
But I don't have an independent device that I wear (like the Up, or FitBit or any of those).
They actually are not very accurate, and there was a story posted online just yesterday of a *study* where someone wore multiple devices simultaneously and recorded how much they differed in their reporting/registering of activity. There were wide variations across different activities.
I think that if the idea of them motivates you to be more active, then that isn't a bad thing. The question is whether or not you need to spend $100 (or whatever) to have that amount of motivation. Seems to me, you could buy a $10 step counter and get the same effect.
I do like my running apps (I use both WalkTrackerPro and Runtastic) as they save my runs (calories burned, time of day, length of run, pace, etc) and also send them to my FB and MyFitnessPal. It helps with motivation WHILE I am out on a run to know that other people will see how I did, or even that I went (or not).
My husband had the Fitbit and loved it, but it kept falling off of his arm and eventually he lost it. Now he has the Jawbone UP and loves it. It doesn't fall off, and it does basically the same thing as the Fitbit. My oldest son also has the Fitbit and it doesn't fall off, so maybe they've improved the clasp. At any rate, they both love having them. Whatever you get, enjoy!
No, I do not. I just work out everyday, mixing up my workouts.

Simon Cowell threatened by neighbour armed with golf club
In dispute over parking
Words: GolfPunk
A neighbour of Simon Cowell brandished a golf club during a furious rant over parking.
The man threatened to "smash up" luxury cars in front of his home and yelled: "I've had enough of Simon Cowell."
Police were eventually called to defuse the row at the street in upmarket West Kensington.
But the following day the neighbour was unrepentant, and told The Sun: "I wrote a sign on my door saying, 'Please do not park in front of my house' and they still did it.
"But I'm always unhappy with Cowell – he's a t***. Who is he? Some prat – the X Factor guy? I lost my temper last night and I'll do it again – do not park near my frontage. It happens every night."
The Smugmeister himself
The row erupted on Tuesday night as Cowell's chauffeur prepared to take him to a Christmas party in his black Rolls Royce.
The man, who is in his 50s, stormed out of his £2.5 million townhouse in Kensington, West London, and hurled a barrage of insults towards Cowell's mansion whilst threatening to smash the parked cars up with a golf club.
Will Lloyd, 31, who witnessed the row, said: "I was gobsmacked. I have never seen anything like it.
"This bloke was properly furious. He was going crazy.
"He was facing Simon's house just screaming, 'I have had enough of Simon Cowell! Who does he think he is? I'll smash all these cars up.'

I completed my Bachelor's degree at Cambridge University, where I studied Natural Sciences, specialising in Neuroscience. This was a very rewarding time, during which I worked on a project with Prof Roger Hardie, investigating the role of Arrestin in visual transduction in Drosophila. Prior to this, I also undertook a project at the National Centre for Biological Sciences, Bangalore, India, concerning the dopaminergic system of the larval zebrafish.
I am fundamentally interested in how the neurons making up our brains can integrate a wide variety of cues from inside and outside our bodies, and use these cues, together with previous experience, to guide the decision-making and behaviours that are essential for survival in the real world. In particular, I am eager to discover how networks of identified neurons encode information, and perform the sophisticated computations necessary for these tasks. One essential function of the nervous system, common to all animals, is to maintain nutritional homeostasis. This balancing act requires all of the processes outlined above, and furthermore, understanding its neuronal and molecular basis will have profound clinical consequences for the modern world.
The decisions an animal makes depend not only upon the inputs it receives from its environment, but also upon its previous experience, and upon its current internal state. For example, feeding decisions can be modified by factors such as stress, arousal and nutritional status. My project aims to elucidate neuronal and molecular mechanisms through which internal states can modulate sensory processing and thus decision-making. In particular, I will focus on two internal states that result in profound changes to flies' physiology and behaviour: mating status and protein intake. I will characterise how chemosensory behaviours are modulated by these internal states, and use state-of-the-art genetic techniques to elucidate necessary components for this modulation. I will identify the circuits on which this modulation acts, and ultimately how behavior arises from a combination of internal and external factors.

WNBA Star Brittney Griner Receives Crushing News From Top Russian Official, "She Is Very Worried About What The Price of That Will Be"
Evgenia Novozhenina/Pool via Reuters
The hits just seem to keep coming for embattled woman's basketball player Brittney Griner in the after math of her much publicized arrest and imprisonment in Russia for smuggling illegal hash oil into the company.
After all of the press, attention, and lip service support emanating from fellow oppressed individuals such as LeBron James, there is still more bad news for Griner on the horizon.
It is now being reported by Yahoo News that:
An aide to Russian President Vladimir Putin said in a recent interview on Russian state TV that releasing American WNBA player Brittney Griner from a Russian prison is not the "main issue" for Russia.
Griner was arrested at the Moscow airport in February of this year. According to a New York Times report, Griner — who has been wrongfully detained on drug smuggling charges for over eight months — has been moved to a penal colony with notably harsh conditions.
According to the Guardian, Putin's close aide and the former Russian Ambassador to the US Yury Ushakov stated in an interview with Rossiya-1 that Griner's release was not the country's "main issue."
He also claimed that Biden was only mentioning her due to the US midterm elections.
"In this tense situation, I think that he is thinking first and foremost about the upcoming midterm elections so he keeps emphasizing the need to bring back home the basketball player who was detained for drug smuggling.
However, it's not the main issue that we are concerned about," Ushako told Rossiya-1.
Yahoo News went on to report that:
Biden has spoken about Griner's release in public on multiple occasions and met with her family in September, after writing the basketball star a letter in July.
The Biden administration also previously proposed a prisoner swap of Griner and Paul Whelan for Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout, who is jailed in the US.
The White House and State Department did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
According to the Guardian, Biden has said that he would speak with Putin at the G20 summit if he were open to releasing Griner.
The Hill went on to report that:
"Look, I have no intention of meeting with him. But for example, if he came to me at the G20 and said I want to talk about the release of Griner, I'd meet with him. I mean, it would depend," Biden said, referencing WNBA star Brittney Griner, who has been imprisoned in Russia for months.
The Hill further reported that:
Global leaders will gather in Bali, Indonesia, next month for the annual summit of major world economies.
Griner, a star in the WNBA and an Olympic gold medalist, was detained in February for bringing vape cartridges with hashish oil into Russia. Griner pleaded guilty last month, but she has insisted she did not intend to break the law. She was later sentenced to nine years in prison.
The Biden administration has been working to broker a deal for the release of Griner and Paul Whelan, a former Marine who has been held in Russia since 2018 on spying charges that he vehemently denies.
WNBA player Brittney Griner's appeal will take place Oct. 25 against her nine-year prison sentence after police said they found vape canisters containing cannabis oil in her luggage at a Moscow airport.https://t.co/qfJiK8d4wW
— WTHR.com (@WTHRcom) October 3, 2022
So, it has been a rough sequence of events for Griner lately. In fact, we had previously reported that Brittney Griner's wife, Cherelle Griner, described how she and Brittney are feeling as the WNBA star remains locked up in a Russian prison. In an interview with Gayle King of CBS Morning, Cherelle talked about Brittney's emotional state.
In February of this year, Griner was arrested in Russia. In addition to playing for the Phoenix Mercury, Griner has played for the Russian team UMMC Ekaterinberg during the WNBA offseason. In the interview, Cherelle said that she considers Brittney a "hostage." "On its face, it just seems like my wife is a hostage. To know that our government and the foreign government is sitting down and negotiating for her release? She's a hostage," Cherelle said.

Penny Dreadful Creator Confirms That the Show Has Come to an End
By Jackson McHenry
The hundredth of a buck stops here. Photo: Patrick Redmond/SHOWTIME
Spoilers ahead for the third season finale of Penny Dreadful.
If you watched last night's season finale, you might have seen this coming: Penny Dreadful has come to an end — or "THE END," as the series put it in its closing credits. Showtime's Gothic drama will not return for a fourth season. Creator John Logan confirmed the news to TVLine, saying the decision was made in advance of this season, mostly because he had sketched out an arc for Eva Green's Vanessa Ives that ended in her death, and her death would mean the end of the show. "Would I have loved to keep telling her story for ten years?" Logan said. "Yes. But that would've been an act of bad faith. Vanessa's struggle had to end, and it had to end in peace." Wait, but what about zombies? We'd watch a show where Eva Green is a zombie, or where Eva Green is any being, alive or dead, honestly.

Dean Ambrose leaving WWE in April
Wade Sheridan
Jan. 30 (UPI) -- WWE has announced that Raw superstar Dean Ambrose, real name Jonathan Good, has decided not to renew his contract and will be leaving the company when his current deal is up in April.
"We are grateful and appreciative of all that Dean has given to WWE and our fans. We wish him well and hope that one day Dean will return to WWE," the company said in a statement on Tuesday.
Ambrose was featured prominently on Raw on Monday as The Lunatic Fringe had a confrontation with authority figure Triple H, faced off against his former Shield brother Seth Rollins, and got into an altercation with Nia Jax after Jax interrupted a speech he was about to give.
Ambrose returned to WWE programming in August after he was out of action for months with a high-grade triceps tendon injury.
Ambrose is a former WWE Champion who has previously held the Intercontinental Championship, United States Championship and Raw Tag Team Championship. He was also a member of The Shield, one of WWE's most popular and dominant groups alongside Rollins and Roman Reigns.

Born in Casablanca in 1914, Larbi Ben Barek would most certainly have been subject of a tug-of-war between Europe's top clubs had he been a modern day player, such was the dazzling ability he showed from an early stage. Whilst dates are by no means definite, he is believed to have been playing centre-midfield for El Ourtrane of his home-town, already becoming a key cog at the tender age of 14. He went on to represent before two other Casablanca-based teams, Ideal Club and US Marrocaine, between the ages of 16 and 20 before the familiar poaching of talent from the continent of Africa claimed its first star. Even in the early-to-mid 1900s, football scouting still spanned continents, – even if it was in the French occupied territory of Morocco – putting down blueprints for the future that can be seen in today's neo-colonial relationship between European and African football. Olympique Marseille were the one's that got there first, as they came calling after Ben Barek's signature, in what would kick off football's very own "Scramble for Africa". It would be here that he would receive his nickname of the "Black Pearl", or "Perle Noir" as he would be known amongst fans of the French club. They noted his darker taint; a "Senegalese aspect" that was unfamiliar to the largely white population of France at that stage, hence the creation of the nickname that does outcast him somewhat – one that would be unlikely to be coined in politically correct world of today. Nevertheless, his skin colour became a moot point, as Ben Barek dazzled the Marseille fans with his dribbling skills from centre-midfield, famous for his crowd-enthralling repertoire of feints and shimmies. Indeed, the exotic way he played football far outweighed the exotic nature of the first Arab-African to play football in Europe, as his ten goals guided Marseille to runner-up in Ligue 1 and being noticed by selectors for the French national team.
It was World War Two that stalled the story of Ben Barek in Europe, as he returned to US Marrocaine whilst the French league was cancelled. However, he was back in Europe at the first sight of competitive football in France, as he was signed-up by Stade Rennais when the league was resumed post-occupation. Whilst one associates Ben Barek as an icon of Marseille due to the novelty of an African playing in Europe at the time and the success he brought them, his impact whilst playing for Rennes would be nothing short of iconic in itself. A blinding 43 goals in 60-80 games (depending on who you believe) was an outstanding contribution, especially from centre-midfield, as he came into what would very much be his prime. Knowing him from the national team, Atlético Madrid coach Helenio Herrera seeked to bring Larbi Ben Barek's talent to showcase within the Spanish borders, following 4 years at Stade Rennais. Whilst on the face of it appearing just another step up the ladder for the Moroccan, his move to Spain was arguably the biggest of his career, considering the circumstances. Franco was in charge. Notorious dictator, very protective of his republic, was rare to let European sportsman into his country, let alone one from beyond the Mediterrean. And considering the political climate at the time between France/Spain and colonial Morocco, in which the oppression was so great than Moroccans were basically not welcome in their own country, few would have taken it. Not fazing Ben Barek, the noticeable step-up in quality of football drove him into the most audacious move of his career, as part of his determination to lead himself onto a path of self-improvement rather than just lay stagnant. Whilst the classic moniker was just translated to Spain's native "Perla Negra", the secondary nickname of "El Prodigio" would be the one that he was most referred to as during his time in Iberia – a name that would feature on many Atlético collectables and paraphernalia. Becoming more flexible as he grew older, he took up positions across the midfield and the frontline, as he guided his team to two Spanish league titles. After returning to Marseille at the age of 36 for two more seasons, his importance not just to his clubs, but also to the French national team. Still called up at the age of 40 – past the point of him retiring from football all together – his pivotal role not just in the domestic game but also on an international level was something that could not be ignored.
Although the lack of precise data and historical record makes Ben Barek's influence on Europe difficult to compare to others, something that cannot be disputed is the kick-start that he gave a whole continent in terms of footballing achievement. African football would not be in the same position it is now had Ben Barek decided to remain in Casablanca, his exploits in Europe brought a whole new set of skills and culture to a land that thought they were far beyond learning anything from the savages to the south of them, and the respect he gained despite his skin colour and perceptions that came with that cannot be overestimated in terms its influence. For the YouTube generation, lack of video footage of Ben Barek makes him somewhat of a myth to a contemporary audience, meaning that he can be cast off and ignored for what he'd achieved as it was not visible to the current human eye. But whilst one can do this and stick to those who have video proof, the legacy left in Ben Barek's wake is one that can never be denigrated to a state of meaningless and unimportance.

Re: Larbi BEN BAREK 1945-1954
Here, I'd raised TEC to 96 if not even higher.. he was real master with ball, elegant style of play.. DS seems little bit high, it could be decreased to 90.. maybe ATT can be on 87 he had nice positioning in the box, STA can be decreased to 85, not so sure about passing stats.. maybe SPA could be raised little bit..
giomarino
Isn't his DEF too high? I thought he was inside forward...
Also RES, SPS, CUR can be lowered meanwhile AGG should be a bit higher, maybe 85 like Charlton...
Well, I don't know why he gave him such a high number for DEF, probably he knows reason.. updated rest of these stats..
Well since he's gone with other fugitives, we won't get the answer. So I think we should update it, IMO it's too high for inside forward. I see 55-56 as good choice here..
Updated and moved..

Premier Reflects on the 73rd Anniversary of the Battle of the Atlantic
Premier's Office
Nova Scotia marks the 73rd Anniversary of the Battle of the Atlantic, which ran from 1939 to 1945, today May 1.
"Nova Scotia joins with the Canadian Armed Forces and the naval community in commemorating those thousands of Canadians who fought so bravely during the Battle of the Atlantic," said Premier Stephen McNeil, Minister responsible for Military Relations. "Each year on the first Sunday in May, Canadians from coast to coast take a moment and reflect on the sacrifices of the 4,234 Canadian sailors, airmen and members of the Merchant Navy who lost their lives while trying to maintain shipping routes linking North America with Europe during the Second World War."
The Battle of the Atlantic lasted 2,075 days and was Canada's longest continuous military engagement of the Second World War. The men and women of the Royal Canadian Navy, the Royal Canadian Air Force and the Canadian Merchant Navy courageously braved the dangerous and freezing waters of the North Atlantic to ensure vital supplies reached Europe.
"I am honoured on behalf of all Nova Scotians to extend my sincere appreciation to our veterans for victory in one of the defining conflicts of the Second World War.
In 1943, the Allies gained the upper hand in battles with German U-boats. Though skirmishes continued until the end of the war, anniversary commemorations mark this "turning of the tide".
Commemorative events marking the anniversary will take place at various locations across the province.

Henry, Lee, Kip and Ronny grew up together in rural Wisconsin. Friends since childhood, their lives all began the same way, but have since taken different paths. Henry stayed on the family farm and married his first love, whilst the others left in search of something more. Ronnie became a rodeo star, Kip made his fortune in the city, and musician Lee found fame – but heartbreak, too.
Now all four are back in town for a wedding, each of them hoping to recapture their old closeness but unable to escape how much has changed. Amid the happiness of reunion and celebration, old rivalries resurface and a wife's secret threatens to tear both a marriage and a friendship apart . . .
This is a novel about the things that matter – love and loyalty, the power of music and the beauty of nature – told in a uniquely beautiful, warm-hearted and profound way and exploring the age-old question of whether we can ever truly come home.
'Shotgun Lovesongs is as true as an honest day's work, as serious as a busted heart, as welcoming as a warm home fire burning… Nickolas Butler has written a Midwestern masterpiece and has done for the modest splendor of verdant farmlands what Larry McMurtry did for the brutal beauty of small town Texas.' Amber Dermont, author of The Starboard Sea
'Listen to the unforgettable characters and their chorus of voices – as they sing about longing, about betrayal, about friendship and marriage, about the green explosion of summer and the white music of winter, about the gravity of home – and you will be moved to laughter and tears, plugged in to a melody that brilliantly shares the story of all our lives.' Benjamin Percy, author of Red Moon and The Wilding

OSCulator Forum > Support > Feature Suggestions > Powermate?
View Full Version : Powermate?
Hi everyone! I couldn't find any discussions on this topic, but hopefully you might know something or want to add this feature. I have a Griffin Powermate (somewhat similar to SpaceNavigator), and it would be awesome to translate it's messages into MIDI data. OSC seems like the perfect platform! Is that already possible, or is there a chance that feature could be added?
I know it can be done with PD, but PD has to be the active window which limits use. I'm hoping OSC has or can have a way around that. Thanks!
The powermate is a really cool accessory, but I can't promise any support in the near term future.
I'll add it to my "to support" list, with a little luck it should be a HID compatible device, and will enable me to support it more easily.
hi camille i also have a powermate and really wish to use it with traktor as a seek/scratch controller, but i need osculator to translate the midi.. can you let me know how i can get this to work or if you are looking to offer support for this device?
I will have a look at this device.
Since I made progresses on devices support, it should be the right time to have a look at this one.
I'm also very interested in the Powermate support. I can beta test this feature if it's useful to you.
Multiple Powermate support would be great too. I only own one at the time but plan to buy a second one.
I got a powermate for a long time and it's nice.
Nice to see that it is a desired feature.
I am buying a PowerMate online and see how it works.
I'll everyone know how it goes.
Has anyone worked out basic input with the powermate yet? I was trying to figure out a quick way to control my fade to black sliders in VDMX and I remembered I had a powermate that I got years ago for Final Cut lying around. I don't need anything fancy, just the ability to turn it into a sort of OSC slider that VDMX will listen to.
I received my second one and really hope to see support coming.
Maybe this link could be useful as well : http://www.oatbit.com/~jg/index.php?w=newsite/files/knob_drivers/ (I didn't succeed at using the new kext, but I didn't try hard).
Any news on this front? I'm looking at a powermate as a master knob i can assign stuff to through the iphone, as i want to limit the aps running around traktor while on the stage. Using osculator would rock as not only would it limit the ap usage, but it would also increase the simpleness when i setup AND i could combine my controllers like i have done with the wii motes and iphone.
I don't have something that integrates nicely in OSCulator, but I can share something with that should work nicely. Please contact me by email (camille at osculator dot net) and I'll send you an executable you can try!
wicked, thanks for this. thanks for osculator too! i had been using junxion, but it seems too flakey with wiimotes. hopefully osculator won't crash during my gig on saturday!!!


With only two rounds left in the 2018 Formula Drift season, the list of racers of who can clinch the championship is thinning. The seventh round of the season will bring the competitors to the Texas Motor Speedway in the outskirts of Dallas, where James Deane and Fredric Aasbo will compete for supremacy.
At the end of Round 6 in St. Louis, Aasbo won his second event of the season. Aasbo previously took the top spot at the season opener at Long Beach, and he's been hovering around the top spot of the 2018 championship after taking third place at Round 2 in Orlando and second place at Round 3 at Road Atlanta.
Behind Aasbo is driver Matt Field, who also grabbed a second-place finish at Round 4 in New Jersey. In our Formula Drift St. Louis roundup, we mentioned that Field has been holding down a spot in the top 10 for most of the season while currently only nine points out of the top 5. Chelsea DeNofa grabbed the last spot on the podium at St. Louis which was his first podium of the season.
2017 Formula Drift Champion James Deane is still holding down the top spot in the standings with 469 points. Behind Deane is Aasbo with 439 points and Deane's Worthouse teammate Piotr Wiecek with 364 points. Justin Pawlak and Chris Forsberg round out the top 5 with 344 and 336 points respectively. Field, Kristaps Bluss, Ryan Tuerck, Aurimas "Odi" Bakchis, and Ken Gushi complete the rest of the Top 10.
Going into the Texas round, the 2017 champ will be definitely the one to watch. We can assume he will have to battle with his teammate Wiecek, because the way the brackets have shaped up for most of the rounds this season the teammates have met on the grid. Matt Field will be another driver to watch in Texas, as he recently grabbed his second second-place finish and is getting comfortable in his new Corvette drift car.
Formula Drift Round 7: Showdown takes place this weekend, Sept. 14-15.
Aasbo takes his second win of the 2018 FD season at Gateway Motorsports Park.

Exclusive breastfeeding is best in all cases
What can we do to enhance the health and survival of infants born to HIV-positive mothers?
Breastfeeding vs Formula-Feeding Among HIV-Infected Women in Resource-Poor Areas
Breastfeeding in HIV-1-positive Mothers
AnotherLook :: Correspondence
(Published in Lancet � September 29, 2001)
Note: This is a corrected copy of the letter from the Lancet website. The error was introduced by the Lancet and, even though it was pointed out in our review of the proof, was not corrected before publication. The official copy of the letter is available from their website. At the time of publication this required an online, no-charge, account with the Lancet.
Sir -- Ruth Nduati and colleagues (May 26, p 1651)1 claim to show that breastfeeding strikingly increases mortality among HIV-1-positive mothers. In her May 26 commentary, Marie-Louise Newell2 discusses some of the study's limitations and compares it with research by Coutsoudis and co-workers3 that draws very different conclusions. We have concerns about some additional issues. Balanced randomisation is essential in clinical trials. We believe Nduati and colleagues' randomisation was not successful. In a more detailed description of the trial,4 at birth only two of the babies in the formula-fed group were believed to be HIV-1 positive, compared with nine assigned breastfeeding. Obviously, method of feeding cannot have any impact on HIV-1 status at the time of birth, and these results suggest important differences between the mothers in the treatment groups that were not detected by the researchers nor balanced by randomisation.
The inability to mask feeding methods introduces a potential source of bias. In addition, the formula-feeding mothers might have had more extensive contact with researchers for education about the correct way to prepare formula4. These women might have, if only indirectly, received more health-care interventions than those in the breastfeeding group.
Unlike Coutsoudis, Nduati and colleagues do not distinguish between partial and exclusive breastfeeding, and do not precisely define exclusive breastfeeding. 9% of mothers were exclusively breastfeeding by 6 months, which is a much higher proportion than the 3�5% at 4-5 months in the general population in Kenya5. This difference might be due partly to the WHO definition of exclusive breastfeeding not being used by Nduati and colleagues. Adherence to exclusive formula feeding was only 71%, meaning that 29% of the mothers practised partial breastfeeding. Given that adherence was based on self-reporting, this proportion is probably an overestimate.
Because the analysis was done by intention to treat, differences between the two groups in actual feeding practices are unclear, since they both contained substantial proportions of mixed feeders. Some mothers in the formula-feeding group might have breastfed more than some mothers in the breastfeeding group.
Nduati and colleagues claim they have no reason to believe that dropouts (which were greater in number than deaths) differed between groups, but there is no reason to believe that they are the same. For example, a seriously ill woman might find formula preparation too great an effort and drop out. Conversely, some of the healthiest mothers with highest socioeconomic status in the breastfeeding group might have believed that their babies were at a disadvantage and left the trial to change to formula feeding.
We are concerned that policy may be based on this work, ignoring research by Coutsoudis and colleagues that claimed no risk to the health of mother (or child) from exclusive breastfeeding. An additional concern is the lack of written witnessed consent for participation. Surely, even if verbal information was given, women could still sign their names.
Policy decisions based on this information may seriously impact the lives of millions of mothers and children. We believe the raw data need reanalysis. Phyll Buchanan, David Crowe, Ted Greiner, George Kent, Tessa Martyn, Valerie McClain, Pamela Morrison, Denise Parker, Magda Sachs, and Karen Zeretzke contributed to the writing of the letter.

Whitney Young Jr.
Whitney M. Young Jr. was born on July 31, 1921, in Lincoln Ridge, Kentucky, a middle child with two sisters. His mother was a teacher and his father the principal of the Lincoln Institute, an African-American preparatory school. He attended Kentucky State Industrial College before working as a teacher himself and then serving in World War II overseas, where he acted as a bridge between black and white servicemen.
Young wed his college sweetheart, Margaret Buckner, in 1944, and the couple went on to have two children.
Upon his return to the states, Young earned his social work master's from the University of Minnesota. He went on to work for a few years with the Urban League of St. Paul, with the organization making strides in placing African Americans in previously whites-only employee positions.
He became executive secretary of the League's Omaha branch in 1950 and thus was at the forefront of racial integration in the region. Then in the mid-1950s Young took a position as dean of Atlanta University's School of Social Work, remaining actively involved in the Civil Rights Movement and heading the state branch of the NAACP.
Young was appointed executive director of the National Urban League in 1961. With a flair for enlisting the support of prominent white businessmen, he was instrumental in saving the league from financial ruin as well as handling major overhauls of the organization's structure, grandly increasing its budget and staff size.
The League, at Young's behest and despite reservations from some benefactors, became a co-sponsor of the historic 1963 March on Washington. The League was also a major factor in the process of racially integrating staff for a variety of big-company jobs nationally.
Politically shrewd and aware, Young had access to the U.S. presidential office and was a close adviser to Lyndon B. Johnson. Young became known for his Domestic Marshall Plan, which was thought to have helped shape the president's policies, and also received the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1968.
After visiting troops in the Vietnam War, which he eventually publicly opposed, Young established a veteran affairs department for the League. He was also a writer, having penned the books To Be Equal (1964) and Beyond Racism: Building an Open Society (1969) as well as a popular syndicated newspaper column. His wife was also an author, writing books for children.
With the advent of the Black Power movement, Young was often seen as too conservative and conciliatory in his views by more militant factions. Yet he did adopt the New Thrust program in the late '60s, which focused on the direct economic empowerment and actualization of urban communities.
Young died on March 11, 1971, at the age of 49, while attending a conference in Lagos, Nigeria. He is believed to have drowned while swimming at a beach.

Q: multicraft ubuntu filezilla uploading files half of them corrupt
As you can see by the zeros, the filesize is zero. How do I troubleshoot this problem? The files often get stuck being uploaded, and when they finish, the file size is zero. What causes this? connectivity issues? I tried rebooting the ubuntu server, restarting the multicraft instance.

A: You have a few things to check. I once had a similar issue uploading files to a server.

*

*It appeared that the storage limited provided to me as a user had been exceeded. I was running a registrations portal on it and the users would upload a picture of themselves, which is primarily what drained my storage.

*Sometimes the FTP is configured such that you can only upload a certain megabytes in one go. I have also faced issues due to that. Either increase that limit, or upload lesser files at a time.
(1) seems to be the more probable cause here. Try changing the user account to know for sure.


Tennessee Athletics No. 7 Tennessee's Admiral Schofield had the game-winning shot over No. 1 Gonzaga.
Sunday's top-10 matchup between No. 1 Gonzaga and No. 7 Tennessee proved to be one for the books. Senior guard Admiral Schofield notched 30 points — and the game-winning 3 — to lead the Vols to their first program win over a No. 1 team since 2010.
The Volunteers won Sunday's Colangelo Classic game 76-73 on a Schofield 3-pointer with 24 seconds left in regulation.
Schofield made 12 of 22 attempted shots, six of those being 3s. He scored 25 of his 30 total points in the second half. That late surge helped the Vols rally from a nine-point deficit early in the second half.
Gonzaga's Rui Hachimura attempted his own potential game-winning 3 before the buzzer, but it didn't go for the Zags. This marks Gonzaga's first loss of the season, putting them at 9-1 overall. Tennessee moved to 7-1.
Thanks to Schofield's career-high output in points on Sunday, Monday's AP poll is sure to see another shake-up. Kansas, Duke, Virginia and Michigan (all winners this weekend) followed the top-ranked Bulldogs in last week's Top 25.
Next up, Tennessee takes on Memphis on the road on Dec. 15. The game will be aired on ESPN2 at noon ET.

Google, Intel and Microsoft team up w/CSAIL on new data-driven initiative
Adam Conner-Simons
Recent years have seen an explosion in the creation of machine learning models for everything from self-driving cars to social media feeds. Despite the success of these models at perception and simple prediction, they have yet to have a larger impact on traditional enterprise computing and data processing applications.
Applying machine learning inside the enterprise is the ambition behind a new initiative launched yesterday at MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) with industry collaborators Google, Intel and Microsoft.
Dubbed the "Data Systems and Artificial Intelligence Lab" (DSAIL), the effort will focus on investigating how machine learning can be used to improve the performance of data-processing systems.
For example, enterprise companies often gather huge amounts of data and have trouble analyzing all the data in a timely manner. Using machine learning to improve systems is still in its infancy, and where it has been used, it is mostly to tune systems' parameters, such as cache size.
"Our ambitions are much bigger," says MIT professor Tim Kraska, one of the co-directors of the initiative. "We want to investigate how machine learning can improve the system from the ground up by deeply embedding it into the core components of a data processing system, such as scheduling and indexing. This requires a fundamental rethinking of the entire data system architecture."
DSAIL further aims to develop new techniques that make it easier for enterprises to not just use machine learning but also build and manage machine learning models. Building a model involves more than just running the final algorithm: it is an iterative process of data integration, cleaning, data transformation, feature selection, model building and visualization.
While there exist individual solutions for many of these problems, enterprise companies often struggle to bring those techniques efficiently together. For example, a decision made to clean the data might have profound implications for the final model quality. Even worse, with the huge number of technical choices made during all these steps, it is often very hard for people to retroactively determine which models and data preparation steps work best for different situations, or even to keep track of what they have tried out in the past.
"We are working to define and create a completely new kind of data stack for artificial intelligence," says MIT professor Sam Madden (pictured above), another co-director of the initiative alongside professor Mike Stonebraker. "You could imagine a first layer that lets you access, integrate and clean the data for building machine learning models, a second workflow layer that helps you manage the models, and then a presentation layer that helps you operate and visualize the models."
Researchers met today for an all-day summit at the Hyatt Regency in Kendall Square to form the agenda of the initiative. For their part, Google, Intel and Microsoft will work on new lines of research with small groups of CSAIL faculty, including professors John Guttag, Song Han, Stefanie Jegelka and David Sontag.
Multiple groups at CSAIL have already been developing key systems in this space. Madden's data-discovery tool Data Civilizer, for example, allows organizations to discover related datasets from thousands of distinct business databases and files. Kraska's work on Northstar helps inexperienced data scientists to quickly build high-quality models.
DSAIL builds on the lab's existing initiatives that focus on financial technology, cybersecurity and systems approaches to machine learning. It represents an expansion of Intel's previous five-year collaboration with CSAIL, the Intel Science and Technology Center for Big Data (ISTC).
