Yandex Turkey after making a rapid entry into the IT market was one of the hottest companies in the world. Yandex Turkey and has managed to attract attention with ads and search engine. We also conducted an interview with Turkey Yandex team. We share with you the first part of our interview today.
- First of all, can we get to know you and Yandex a bit?
Let's start with Yandex first. Yandex was founded in Moscow in 1997 and is now one of the largest Internet companies in Europe. The goal is to provide solutions to the problems people experience in their lives. The most important of them and the old one is to find out what the users are looking for on the internet, but it contains dozens of services such as locating, mailing and paying on the internet.
Since June I have been promoting Yandex as a Social Media Marketing Manager at Yandex and Yandex in social media, and at the same time, I see the internet users in social media seeing our company, our products and the most common problems and being heard by Yandex.
- Yandex is a very well-established and experienced company when it comes to the World of Information. Although there is no market we go to Turkey in a year, all 20 of the most widely used in the input. However, Turkish users still have a habit of using it. How do you plan to break these habits?
It is not so easy for Google to break the habits of people in a well-established and successful company, especially in a free-service market. There are a lot of things we do to change our habits, but we can classify them strategically.
keep in user habits and needs that we have developed our service level to satisfy our users considering the quality of Turkey. Currently, many internet companies already offer services from a large company like Yandex, such as search engine, internet browser, e-mail service, online maps. The quality of our services will continue to be at the level where we can always keep people in all products.
Besides that, we listen to one of Yandex's best things, read every message, email, tweet or text about social media and our services. We respond to the answers within a short period of time. At an unexpected speed from an international company. Thus it understands how development should be done for Turkey are making efforts accordingly. Example; Yandex university search engine, Ramazan special page is developed for Turkish users completely, the services that provide the information they want faster.
Finally, a first or service that is less competition in the sector in Turkey currently offer to our users. Yandex.Disk, with its capacity to increase up to 20GB free of charge, offers mail service for organizations whose website owners can have up to 1000 users free of charge, with Panorama (Istanbul, Ankara and Izmir street street views) and Traffic Services, which our users like very much, Yandex.Metrika, where you can see the behavior of users in the internet site.
When people try our services, we observe that the habit is broken.
- Yandex Disk offers up to 20GB of file storage service. However, I am curious about the limitations of the file formats that can be recorded and edited on the disc. Disk-like storage applications can store even AutoCAD or photoshop files. How is the situation at Yandex?
You can keep the file you want on Yandex.Disk. Totally reserved for you.
- Yandex in Russian Moikrug, fotki, Rabota, My Ya Yandex services, such as when to come to Turkey?
Yandex is currently available in Turkey has dozens of service. These are just a few of them. More and more services will continue to localize each passing day, but they need some more strategic planning. We're looking at how the needs of most of our users in Turkey. Accordingly, we localize our services. So it's a little hard to give a full date.
- In many circles, there are people who say that Yandex imitates Google, is this really the case?
Yandex was originally set up a year ago by Google. That's why it's hard to say we're pretending to be Google. The search engine, like the map, has started searching for locations before Yandex.
Whether they want it or not, companies in the same sector are producing similar products, and sometimes they can do product developments with their competitors' experience in mind. The reason such a perception of Turkey's 14 years of experience and is against Google Yandex'l than meets new habit in Turkey. When comparing a car brand with another car brand, it's like saying "you put 4 wheels and a steering wheel like the other brand, why do you imitate them?"
- The number of smartphones in Turkey is increasing every day. Integration between systems has become one of the most indispensable for users. How will Yandex be able to be one of the most used search engines by mobile users without having a mobile operating system?
Mobile life is one of the most important issues of Yandex. With computers becoming even more mobile every day, mobile solutions work on every internet and technology company.
Even if Yandex is not currently a mobile operating system, we have programs developed for different mobile operating systems that provide access to our services. While Yandex.Shell is a popular and widely used interface for Android, we have applications that provide direct access to our services such as Search, Mail, Maps and Disk for iOS and Windows 8.
With the agreement we made with Nokia, the fact that Yandex is a pre-set search engine on Lumia devices is a testament to our mobile commitment. We also made a similar analogue with Avea on the Avea InTouch phone, and the inTouch phones came on the market as Yandex.Shell was installed.
Yandex.Shell is a service that especially Android users love and can fix their phones as they like. Yandex is also among the services that earn the most user attention in Yandex.
- Yandex Yandex Direct and online in August in Turkey was entered in advertising. But the general perception of advertisements is that every advertiser is missing from the tax. How does this work in Yandex?
tax issues in the Internet world, not only for Turkey, one of the important issues all over the world.
Yandex works as identical to that of any Turkish work opens sales office in Turkey. In other words, we started to give our tax yearly in the amount that the state determines for every advertisement fee we receive. technology as a consumer, I think that the move is an important step for Turkey's technology ecosystem.
- In many forums and in the dictionary, the Yandex Toolbar comes with the downloaded programs as being negatively detected. Does Yandex have any work on this?
Yandex.Bar's coming with other softwares is one of the most talked about social media. Many services to the new country make this kind of "distribution project" experiments. In fact, there was no wrong side of the structure, some of the internet service download sites in accordance with Yandex'e according to some products Yandex.Bar'ın also put the installation file. Of course this is a question to ask the user when both the file is being downloaded and the file is being loaded. But the program installs in Turkey without people to read only loaded by simply pressing the forward key yandex.bar They complained that the establishment of think outside their requests.
As Yandex becomes more aware, these distribution projects with partners will also be reduced.
The criticism of Yandex.Browser, which came out two months ago, is that it uses the open source Chromium interface and another competitor, Opera, which uses Turbo technology. If we do not see the Yandex Browser as a competitor to Google Chrome messenger Mail.ruIs it against Amigo, where he has gone to the market?
One of the key reasons for Yandex.Browser's Chromium-based preparation is that we have not changed the basic experience that users around the world are accustomed to and liked. In fact, we can think of Yandex.Browser as a browser that an internet company that understands the consumer prepares by combining the best and the most popular technologies. Of course, Yandex.Browser is a rival to all internet browser gamers.
Yandex is working for Russian intelligence, there is a lot of propaganda about Turkish users entering this market to collect their data. On the other hand, I wonder what Yandex thinks.
Of course I am quite accustomed to hearing this question. One of the biggest internet topics of the last two years is "Privacy" and a reaction that can be taken when trying to serve a topic that people do not think is open.
Organizations that want to collect people's knowledge in such an open-profile ecosystem as users who are close to technology can easily do so. One of the most laughing examples of you from the past was that your soldier had to find the people who were the enemy of the soldiers from Facebook profiles and get a soldier.
How and for what purpose do you use Yandex's Social Media channels?
Yandex's most used channels in social media are Facebook and Twitter, as well as other social media accounts like Instagram, Pinterest, Vimeo, Slideshare. Yandex is a very dynamic company, our products are constantly innovating. We use these articles frequently to announce them and get the ideas of our users.
In slideshare and video sharing sites, we share more tutorials, presentations made in Yandex related to technology, or product introductions.
We use Instagram to promote Yandex office and working life. I can say that we are very lucky in our way of working 🙂 It's a little trial now. But we will continue to share since it is a subject that our users are curious about.
Apart from this, we have a global deal with Twitter, so we follow and follow what people are saying about Yandex and its products in general. Since we already have a socially active team, as Yandex team we try to help our users independent of our position.

How I discovered this book: it was submitted to Rosie's Book Review Team, of which I am a member.
Genre: Alternative history, dark humour, Scifi, crime, fantasy, adventure....
I chose this book from the review team submissions list because I liked the idea: an alternative present, in which the crimes of Ted Bundy have not been discovered, and he is now running for president, as a Republican. Senator Bundy is facist, sexist, you-name-it-ist, and pro-guns; in this alternative reality, active shooters (who number amongst his supporters) are a force to be reckoned with on a day-to-day basis, rather than an occasional horror.
I did not know what to expect when I opened the book; it has an unremarkable cover (an Amazon standard?), few reviews and low rankings, but I'm happy to report that, as far as my review blog goes, never has the phrase 'don't judge a book etc' been more apt. Zeb Haradon is a terrific writer with a real story-telling spark that's superbly dry, witty and world-weary, and his humour is absolutely up my street. The book is clever, unusual, touching, funny and in parts made me laugh out loud, a rare occurrence; I was heard to mutter 'Brilliant!' in a couple of places. I read it in 48 hours.
The Usurper King is told from the first person point of view of Jim Galesh, a 40 year old guy who has always struggled to find his place in the world. He has a broken marriage, a drink problem, and suffers from a disease called TAP: Technologically Acquired Progeria. This was acquired via 'some sociopathic prankster who decided to write the first hybrid biological/computer virus'. Basically, he is ageing much more quickly than he should be (and the stuff about his time working in computer journalism, where he got this disease, is hilarious).
Jim is on the way to winning big money when he stars on the game show Guts!, on which contestants practice extispicy ~ predicting the future by studying animal entrails. Via the show he meets super-intelligent hillbilly Nick, who introduces him to the idea that Bundy is a serial killer, and that many of the murders attributed to the Green River Killer were actually committed by Bundy.
One of the high spots was discovering, half way through, the identity of 'JW', Bundy's Democratic rival, which explained some things like Chicago's high murder rate ~ it was dropped in so smoothly. Elsewhere, some of the parts I loved best were those about Jim's family: his son Reg, who he adores, and neurotic ex-wife Agatha and her control freak family. There are a wonderful few pages about his in-laws:
"Do you remember Clippy? That's the cartoon paper clip in Microsoft from the late 1990s. You would open a new document and start writing and it would just up and force its fucking self into your writing and say "it looks like you're writing a letter" and try to offer these unhelpful writing tips while you look for the X button to shut it down.. I think they call it Office Assistant.... anyway, Agatha's mother was like a cross between Clippy and Nurse Ratched... then there was her father. As you might imagine, the years with Clippy Ratched have left him a shell of a human."
Often, it was just the day-to-day observations that I loved the most, or odd sentences; I highlighted so many.
"They had the kind of faces you see in an illustrated dictionary next to the definition of the word 'loser'."
"Some other dork trying to look like a thug came in carrying a baseball bat. 'I understand you don't want to co-operate. I'm the guy they bring in to help people co-operate. They call me Mr Co-operation'."
Nick: "You got a phone? I mean one of them fancy ones with the internet on."
Jim goes to a doctor to try and get more of the medicine that helps him cut down drinking, the doctor is reluctant to give it, and tries to steer him, instead, towards the Twelve Steps. Jim: "The only criticism of it I read came from these AA lunkheads and websites for rehabs who stood to lose a bundle if people found something that actually worked."
I'm giving this 4.5* because there are a fair few proofreading errors (missing vocative commas, argh!), particularly in one section around the middle that wasn't as well put together as the rest of the book (it's when Jim is trying to get Bundy looked into), to the extent that I wondered if it had been written in a hurry, an afterthought, but I'll still round that 4.5* up to 5* on Amazon, because it really is a great book. Another proofread, a bit of a tidying up in places, and it would be outstanding. I recommend it wholeheartedly to anyone who likes clever observational humour of the dry American kind. The end is totally, totally unexpected, by the way.
Whether or not some of it is a comment on the current political situation in the US, I really couldn't say.
"...like the old British class system, where mediocre people get special privileges because they were born into wealth. But it does seem there is a natural aristocracy - one which comes from intelligence, acquired ability, self-education, a natural curiosity about the world, an independence of thought, or maybe just a vigor for life - and which cleaves society into the winners and the losers. The losers, finding themselves impotent in mastering the art of life, are naturally going to be envious and bitter, and voting for Bundy was their revenge against the world."

The little figures with oversized hands and feet(At least the MMPR ones are) they're the mini figures like the ones in the blind packs for the Megaforce line.
That alpha does look way better!
Well, as soon as i get a package from a friend, I'll have a Warpath that I plan on using for Strika. Obsidian, on the other hand... I really don't know what deluxe-sized think i could use for him.
Check Amazon, especially for Normal Samurai Gold who is only 5 bucks at the moment.
Thanks blinddrummer15 for the legacy morpher decals.
Here is my version of the legacy morpher Burai Version.
It's hard to know the color of the ones you get from amazon. Sounds like he's looking for the not orange re-releases.
I remember seeing BD15 throwing decals on his stages a while back and it had given me some ideas. So today, I finally got around to doing a test. Right now I'm just using a Cortana light up base.
Option 1 is cheaper to do since I would only have to use black, which I already have, but I do not know how that would work with Gokai X-Mas when it comes to the LEDs.
Option 2 would be just a bit more costly.
93' meets 2010 to make this!
I agree fully! I might have to get my hands on one of those and try that trick with mine.
tried it a long time ago. Doesn't work because of the zordbuilder.
I think you could make it work! In terms of the connections to the Sabre-tooth tiger and Triceratops - all you would need is to modify the spurs/plugs on the back of the Dragonzord's feet by attaching zordbuilder plus from another zord (take your pick, you can probably get a junker on eBay and chop it/them up).
Also, what exactly did you modify, on either the Dragonzord or the Megazord, to make them fit better?
will work my magic on it.

7 reasons to register a trade mark
You think you don't need to? You may want to think again.
Reason 1 - You obtain exclusive ownership rights for the trade mark in the territory in which it is registered and for the goods and services for which the trade mark is registered.
Reason 2 - When you have a trademark registration, it is much easier (and cheaper) for both you and your licensees, including your agents and distributors, to enforce your rights. Your rights are automatically established by the fact they are registered. You don't have to prove them.
However, if the mark is unregistered you have to establish ownership and reputation in the relevant territory and provide evidence that the infringing mark is damaging that reputation. This can be difficult and expensive in your home territory and will be even more so in other parts of the world.
Reason 3 - A trade mark registration makes it easier for Trading Standards and Customs & Excise to seize goods or packaging bearing signs which infringe UK or EU trade marks or close down unlicensed traders.
Reason 4 - Registration provides official notice to others that a trade mark is already taken. The trade mark will appear in any searches carried out by third parties in the territories in which it is registered, which makes it much less likely that a business in that territory will adopt the same or similar trade mark.
Reason 5 - As the owner of a trade mark registration, you obtain the right to put a ® after the mark, which alerts others to your registration and means they cannot claim the defense of innocent infringement;
Reason 6 - For most territories, if you have a trade mark registration or an application covering that territory, you will be notified if someone applies to register a mark which potentially conflicts with your trade mark. Without a registration, it is up to you to find out if there are potentially conflicting trade mark applications.
Reason 7 - If you do not register your trade mark there is a risk that someone else will do so. This potentially dilutes the value of your trade mark as well as making it more difficult to enforce your rights in the same. The earlier registrant will also be able to block or delay your own registration of the trade mark.

EPA Releases Proposed Chemical Risk Evaluation Process Under New TSCA.
EPA Promulgates Final TSCA Reporting and Recordkeeping Rule for Nanoscale Materials.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is scheduled to publish a proposed rule in the January 17, 2017, Federal Register that would establish a risk-based screening process and criteria that EPA will use to identify chemical substances as either High-Priority Substances for risk evaluation, or Low-Priority Substances for which risk evaluations are not warranted at the time. The pre-publication version of the proposed rule describes the processes for identifying potential candidates for prioritization, selecting a candidate, screening that candidate against certain criteria, formally initiating the prioritization process, providing opportunities for public comment, and proposing and finalizing designations of priority. EPA notes that prioritization is the initial step in a new process of existing chemical substance review and risk management activity established under recent amendments to the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). Publication of the notice will begin a 60-day comment period. More information on the final rule will be available in our forthcoming memorandum, which will be available on our website under the key phrase TSCA.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is scheduled to publish a proposed rule on January 13, 2017, that would require a retrospective electronic notification of chemical substances on the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) Inventory that were manufactured (including imported) for non-exempt commercial purposes during the ten-year time period ending on June 21, 2016. EPA would also accept such notices for chemical substances that were processed. The recent TSCA amendments require EPA to designate chemical substances on the TSCA Inventory as either "active" or "inactive" in U.S. commerce. EPA states in the pre-publication version of the proposed rule that it would use these notifications to distinguish active substances from inactive substances. EPA would include the active and inactive designations on the TSCA Inventory and as part of its regular publications of the Inventory. EPA also proposes to establish procedures for forward-looking electronic notification of chemical substances on the TSCA Inventory that are designated as inactive, if and when the manufacturing or processing of such chemical substances for non-exempt commercial purposes is expected to resume. According to the proposed rule, upon receipt of a valid notice, EPA would change the designation of the pertinent chemical substance on the TSCA Inventory from inactive to active. The proposed rule includes the procedures to submit retrospective and forward-looking activity notifications, the details of the notification requirements, exemptions from such requirements, and procedures for handling claims of confidentiality. Publication of the proposed rule will begin a 60-day comment period. More information on the final rule will be available in our forthcoming memorandum, which will be available on our website under the key phrase TSCA.
On January 12, 2017, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is scheduled to publish in the Federal Register a Section 8(a) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) rule establishing reporting and recordkeeping requirements for certain chemical substances when they are manufactured or processed at the nanoscale. According to a pre-publication version of the final rule, manufacturers and processers, or persons who intend to manufacture or process these chemical substances must report certain information to EPA. The information to be reported includes, insofar as known to or reasonably ascertainable by the person making the report, the specific chemical identity, production volume, methods of manufacture and processing, exposure and release information, and existing information concerning environmental and health effects. Persons who manufacture or process a discrete form of a reportable chemical substance at any time during the three years prior to the effective date of the final rule must report to EPA one year after the effective date of the final rule. There is also a standing one-time reporting requirement for persons who intend to manufacture or process a discrete form of a reportable chemical substance on or after the effective date of the rule. These persons must report to EPA at least 135 days before manufacture or processing of that discrete form. The final rule will be effective 120 days after publication in the Federal Register. The final rule states that EPA has prepared a detailed response to public comments that will be available in the rulemaking docket. More information on the final rule will be available in our forthcoming memorandum, which will be available on our website under the key phrase nanotechnology.
On December 29, 2016, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued a notice regarding the availability of final test guidelines, OCSPP Series 850 Group A -- Ecological Effects, part of a series of test guidelines established by the Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention (OCSPP) for use in testing pesticides and chemical substances to develop data for submission to EPA under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), and the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). The notice states that these test guidelines "serve as a compendium of accepted scientific methodologies and protocols that are intended to provide data to inform regulatory decisions," and they "provide guidance for conducting the test, and are also used by EPA, the public, and companies that submit data to EPA." The test guidelines will be accessible through EPA Docket ID Numbers EPA-HQ-OPPT-2009-0150 through EPAHQ-OPPT-2009-0159, and EPA-HQ-OPPT-2009-0576 on www.regulations.gov.
Changes to terminology, e.g., to clarify 10-day versus acute exposures for sediment-dwelling invertebrate toxicity tests and saltwater versus marine conditions.
The final test guidelines may be of unique interest to TSCA stakeholders. The addition of a limit test option aligns well with the new TSCA mandate to reduce vertebrate testing. This change facilitates test plan design, including tiered approaches for initial testing for premanufacture notices (PMN). EPA notes that certain guidelines were not issued in final, but remain available for reference as draft guidelines. In that certain ecological effects guidelines relate to guidelines already developed for the Endocrine Disruptor Screening Program (EDSP), EPA notes that it will consider test design elements from the relevant EDSP guidelines in the development of OSCPP 850 series guidelines.
Bergeson & Campbell, P.C (B&C®) will prepare a more detailed comparison soon.
The need to review and update the definition is long overdue. Stakeholders have been seeking a more appropriate definition for years recognizing that the existing metric is dated and has not kept pace with the passage of time, posing unintended regulatory consequences. EPA is to be commended for its rapid response to yet another new TSCA mandate.
Comments must be received on or before January 17, 2017.

Been There, Do This: Mayor Wilson Goode Sr. talks leadership and vision for the city's future
Philadelphia City Council has approved renaming a section of 59th Street for former Mayor W. Wilson Goode Sr. who led the city from 1984 to 1992. (WHYY file photo)
As part of our 2015 Philadelphia mayoral-primary coverage, NinetyNine will speak with City Hall's former second-floor denizens about leadership, challenges facing the city and, among other topics, how best to move Philly into the future.
The first stop on our former-mayoral tour was a small fourth-floor office on Arch Street where W. Wilson Goode Sr. helms Self Inc., a organization which aims to provide people with "self-sufficiency in life management by developing strength of character and economic independence."
Over the course of an hour-plus interview with WHYY's Brian Hickey and Katie Colaneri, the city's first African American mayor touched on an array of topics, not the least of which was the fact that most of the current candidates have already reached out to talk about the race with him.
Excerpts of NinetyNine's discussion with Goode will air on Wednesday's NewsWorks Tonight and Thursday's Morning Edition.
What follows are 20 quotes from the interview:
1. "When I walked in and sat at my desk for the first day [as mayor], I thought 'This is really tougher than I really thought it was.' It made me feel fortunate that here I was, in this position, and I had a chance to really solve some longstanding problems facing the city. In a word, I felt inspired by the opportunity that was presented to me."
2. "People ask me what I liked most about being mayor. It was solving problems for people who felt powerless, especially in neighborhoods that felt as if they'd been left out for a very long time, for things like potholes and abandoned houses and dirty streets, those kinds of things. It was wonderful to be in that position. I enjoyed every day I was in office."
3. "What you've done in the past is pretty much what you'll do in the future. Look at the kinds of things that people have involved themselves with in the past, and you will see the kinds of things they will involve themselves with now and in the future. People don't suddenly change because they become mayor. They are who they are."
4. "I have a sense of my legacy, yes. But what I [also] have a sense of is that there are people today who are living better lives because of my passion for those who were the least among us, a sense that I fulfilled my purpose for being in that office when I look at the fact that there are African Americans and women in the government today who started out under my administration and became commissioners and heads of departments and units in government."
5. "What the city needs most, I believe, is somebody who has passion, and an understanding of all the problems facing the city — from homelessness to business, from children to the aged, a clear understanding of what the issues are facing the city in all of those areas.
"We need someone with integrity — intellectual integrity — and someone with the ability to solve problems. We need someone who is political enough to get people to work with them, but not too political that they will sell the city in order to get something done. We need someone with the intellectual toughness to get the job done and that is to understand that, at times, you need to be intellectual but at times you need to be practical.
"I started with passion, but I will end with love. You have to love this city and want to see it improve."
6. "All of the announced candidates have come to see me, and some who have not announced have come to see me.
"The first question I ask is, 'Do you want to be mayor? I know you want to run for mayor, but do you want to be mayor.' The second part of that is 'Do you want to do what a mayor needs to do in order to be successful in the job that you said you want to run for?'
"Then, I ask 'What is your plan for winning? What formula do you come forth with that says 'because I am who I am, these are the people who will vote for me.'
"Naturally, many people have never thought of those things and therefore they're starting out needing to think through 'Do I really want to do this?'
"Many people see the job as standing in front of a camera and speaking to the public, talking into a microphone on the radio and speaking to the public that way, going to public events. They don't see the bare-knuckle things we need to do in order to get a budget passed, establish priorities and fight for what you believe in and make sure you go out there and try to get those things done.
"The public piece is the easy piece. The tough piece is understanding that you are responsible, as mayor, for governing the entire city. You're responsible for every police officer, every firefighter, Department of Human Services, Department of Streets, for all the things that happen. So, how are you going to manage all those things, and govern, and lead, and have people who work for you be inspired to do that?
"It's important that people who seek the job realize it takes real leadership in order to do that. It takes more than an announcement, and raising some money, and going out and campaigning. It takes some real toughness. Are you prepared to spend 14 or 16 hours every day, doing what a mayor has to do to make it work, and that's seven days a week? If you can do that, then you can probably be a good mayor. If you're not prepared to do that, you probably will not only not win, but if you won, you would not be a good mayor."
7. "Someone said to me, 'I never thought about that' [to the 'do you want to be mayor' question]. I have to think about that a bit more. Do you really want to be mayor and do what the mayor has to do?' There was a pause. That was surprising to me. That's not a good sign at all. You have to think about that. This means that they haven't thought about what they wanted to do once they became mayor."
8. "You have to love the city, love the people, let me in that office, let me go in there and do everything I can to make this city better. When you have passion like that, you are inspired to go there and do everything that you can every single day.
"Many people — not necessarily those running for mayor — run for office today not because they have passion for anything other than being in elective office. When you elect someone of that nature, you get someone who is interested in the office, but not what that office can do to make the city better."
9. "I think we have, in this city, a kind of lack of enthusiasm for elective office on the part of many people. That's not the way they want to live their lives. I'm 76 years of age. I can say we're not attracting the most talented people anymore to these top positions in government. We are attracting people who desire to be in elective office, but not necessarily who desire to be passionate about making government work the way it ought to work.
"People who run mostly for the sake of the office, not because they feel they can use the office to get done something very specific that needs to be done in the city. People who like to say 'that's something I'd like to do in my life' rather than 'if I can get into that office, I will show them what I can do as an elected official. I will show them how I can turn some things around, how I can reform things.'"
10. "People in the 1960s, 70s, most of the 80s, were people who came up with social movements, with a passion to do things for the right reasons. There was a lot of human contact at that time. Some of it is generational. Some of it, today, people under 40 years of age don't even remember when I was mayor.
"I came into government and politics through service in my neighborhood as a block captain, neighborhood and citywide leader, as part of a civil-rights movement fighting for civil rights and human rights, fighting for the right to vote, to break down the party structure. When I first got involved, there was no African American in the state of Pennsylvania who was elected to office other than by party election, and in 1969, I ran Hardy Williams campaign and he became the first African American elected to office.
"It's partially our fault, mine and others who did that, by not remaining vigilant to make sure the message kept coming that you have to keep fighting. In the late 1980s, and through the 1990s, people running for office started to emerge as people who just wanted to be in office.
"People who run for office today run because they've been staff for someone in office already, through a political system rather than a social and civil-rights system. The lens that people see this through is not through the lens of struggle and overcoming and trying to make things better and trying to improve the lives of people."
11. "The last 25 years, there has emerged a different group of people out there looking at politics through a different lens than I've looked at it which was as a tool to really get things done. They look at it as a tool to elevate themselves to a higher position. I just want to make it clear that there are exceptions to this; there are some people there because they feel a deep passion for what's going on."
12. "What is happening now [with the protest movement] is very promising. More and more people are going to be held accountable. I [recently] spoke to one of the people part of this protest movement, and I said to them, 'Why don't you talk to the elected officials?' And they said, 'We are going to replace the elected officials.' So that is promising. If not this time, next time around, if they keep it up. The thing about movements is you have to keep it up, and if they keep their eyes on the ball, focused on what they want to do and how change can really come about, they can, from my point of view, be really successful and can reintroduce the kind of movement that brought me and others like me into office with the same passion we had."
13. "The office of mayor is a tool. You have extraordinary power to do good and make things better. If you see it as something to make you a celebrity, you're going to end up not being successful."
14. "If I was running today, I would run to fix the school system. The No. 1 problem facing the city is [the need for an educational system that educates children and meets them where they are and helps them to become what they should be in life. Some children come to school not having had kindergarten, any type of teaching beforehand. They come straight from home with nothing in terms of educational development. We can't assume that every child who comes to school is where they ought to be.
"Every child should have the opportunity to achieve. We need a system that will say we know that you did not go to nursery school, preschool, kindergarten, and we believe there is a special course over here, remediation, where we can begin to work with you. Education is where I would start.
"The second is related to education. People need jobs. People need work. We have to do something about the high poverty rate in the city, and it's all related. Something about crime. Something about dealing with people capable of filling jobs. All these things are related.
"I still believe what I've believed all along: It all starts with education, a basic school system that can educate every child where they are, and bring them to where they need to be, so that the workforce in the city and region can have the kind of educated public that it needs to fill those jobs."
15. "It's a business. We invest in government and we expect government to give us a return on our investment, and that return is something we call service. It's about taking the taxpayers' dollars and then providing service and making sure that we're getting the most bang for the buck so we can say to the citizens when we meet them, 'I am a great steward of your dollars. I'm doing everything I can to spend every dollar I spend as efficiently and effectively as I can spend it.' People don't think about that. Most elected officials don't think about that. But I do."
16. "The mayor may not be able to remedy [the city's public-school issues] in eight years, but that does not stop the mayor from leveraging and using the bully pulpit to speak and speak and speak on the problem.
"[Mayors Street and Nutter] felt, as I felt when I was mayor, that not being in full control of the school system is a real problem. That should be fixed. The mayor should be able to appoint the school board, should be held accountable for educating the children in the school system, should be able go to Council and fight with the state and the feds for money. It has to be the responsibity of the mayor to lead in education. It can't be like that when you have a lot of other people with their fingers in the pot and no one is taking full responsibility. The mayor has to be the one who is responsible.
"If I was running, I would talk about that, and talk about its relatedness to all these other things we feel in the city. To poverty. To crime. To the growth of the correctional system. To all the other social facing the city. I would link it to all those things and say, 'If you want to solve this problem, you can solve it by fixing the educational system in the city."
17. "I've not talked with any of [the candidates] about that at this point. What I will do is when there's a real beauty contest between two people, I will have that conversation. At this point, they have to decide how they want to lead and govern, what their priorities are. … I'm simply telling them they have to have a passion for the city."
18. "I'm satisfied that there are people in this field who could potentially be great mayors. I don't think they've exhibited that yet in terms of what they're talking about because they're not talking about anything at this point. But there are people out there that come from a pedigree that would lead me to believe that, if given the opportunity, they'd make great mayors."
19. "I came into office in 1980, under [Mayor] Bill Green, and have seen tremendous change in this city, tremendous improvement in this city, and I am very hopeful for the future. Very hopeful despite the poverty rate, despite the failing school system. I am hopeful because there is great leadership here in the corporate and civic communities, and I think great leaders will emerge in the civic community. That's why I'm very hopeful. I did not think in 1980 that we would be where we are today."
20. "My advice [to the candidates] is if you really don't love this city, have passion for this city, and want to bring about fundamental change in education and poverty rate and the overall structure of the city, then don't run for office, because we need a leader that's going to do that."

Q: chained exception facility in JAVA I can acheive chained Exception facility in java as
case 1:
public static void main(String[] args) {

    try {
        method1();
    } catch (Exception e) {
        System.out.println("Exception in the main method :: "+e);
    }

}

private static void method1() throws Exception {
    try{
        System.out.println("Inside Try Block"+10/0);
    } catch(ArithmeticException e){
        System.out.println("Exception in method1 :: "+e);
        throw e;
    } finally{
        System.out.println("In FinallY Block");
    }

}

case 2 :
public static void main(String[] args) {

    try {
        method1();
    } catch (Exception e) {
        System.out.println("Exception in the main method :: "+e);
    }

}

private static void method1() throws Exception {
    try{
        System.out.println("Inside Try Block"+10/0);
    } catch(ArithmeticException e){
        System.out.println("Exception in method1 :: "+e);
        throw (ArithmeticException)new ArithmeticException().initCause(e);
    } finally{
        System.out.println("In FinallY Block");
    }
}

And I got the output as
Exception in method1 :: java.lang.ArithmeticException: / by zero
In FinallY Block
Exception in the main method :: java.lang.ArithmeticException: / by zero

And My Question is :

*

*Is there any difference between these two cases ?

*Which is the better method ?

*And why 2 cases for the same purpose ?

A: *

*The difference is you wrap the original ArithmeticException exception in another exception of same type in the second case (see below why this is pointless).

*Case 1 is probably what you want to use here, because you don't broaden the meaning of your exception (to a higher level).

*They don't have the same purpose, let me explain...
If you set an exception as a cause, it doesn't have the same meaning. You can give a larger meaning to the ArithmeticException by wrapping it in a higher-level exception. Here you're just wrapping it in another ArithmeticException, which does not make sense.
A case where you might want a cause is for instance when you try to get some data from a web service: the low-level methods sending HTTP requests throw some SocketException or HttpException, and you wrap them in some higher-level exceptions describing what resource couldn't be loaded (for instance).

A: You should pass the cause in as a constructor argument, instead of calling initCause.
In real code you don't see an exception thrown wrapping the same type of exception. The point is to wrap an implementation-level exception in something higher-level, so that the code catching the exception doesn't have a lot of implementation-specific special cases to handle (and implementation details don't bleed through to parts of the code that shouldn't have to care), while the chaining makes sure the original stacktrace is retained.
So you'd do something like:
private static void method1() throws HigherLevelException {
    try{
        System.out.println("Inside Try Block"+10/0);
    } catch(ArithmeticException e){
        throw new HigherLevelException(e);
    }
}

Since a lot of people consider checked exceptions to be a failed experiment (not even dot-net chose to copy them), in a lot of cases the higher level exception tends to be an unchecked exception. You'll see this pattern with Spring and Hibernate.
In your first example catching an exception just to rethrow it should not be necessary. The stacktrace should be sufficient to determine where the exception was generated without having to log and rethrow. Make sure you have one centralized place that catches and logs exceptions.

The Great Innovation Mirage: Big Talk, Small Ideas
Faced with secular stagnation, more governments in advanced economies are hoping to spur innovation. But the thinking on how they should approach this task is surprisingly thin.
By Aaron Timms
Startup financing is booming and corporations all over the world, no matter how old, lumbering or unimaginative, are rushing to sprinkle themselves with some of Silicon Valley's stardust via the creation of dynamic-seeming entrepreneurship labs and accelerators. "Innovation theater," to borrow a favored phrase of Anand Sanwal at CB Insights, a New York-based consulting firm that tracks funding and trends in VC-backed private companies, is at an all-time high. National governments are getting in on the act, too, tiny armies of freshly minted Schumpeterians emerging from the woodwork in Ottawa and London and Canberra and Pretoria to trumpet the hosannas of their new religion — the religion of innovation. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has made a renewed commitment to innovation a core part of his government's agenda, while across the Pacific his counterpart in Australia, Malcolm Turnbull, is beating the creative economy drum more ferociously than any politician on the planet. "The Australia of the future has to be a nation that is agile, that is innovative, that is creative," Turnbull announced after his elevation to the prime ministership two months ago. Creative destruction, guys: It's the future!
Countries such as Chile, Israel and Korea have long aspired to something similar: to turn themselves into cradles for nurturing and developing wildly creative and genuinely transformational businesses and technologies. To differing extents these countries have succeeded; Tel Aviv and Santiago have particularly active startup scenes. But for other nations with less established tech scenes and governments eager to get in on the innovation gold rush, things are more complex. And while the rhetoric of many of these governments may be bold, in practice the policy recipes being put forward are timid.
Undoubtedly, innovation is a fine thing to aspire to, especially in an era of secular stagnation when the search for new growth levers is becoming more pressing. But what does it mean for a government to support innovation, in a way that goes beyond support for traditional small business? How do cultures of agile, confident, creative entrepreneurship — these frequently invoked, wonderful-sounding things — emerge and thrive? For many governments out there making big noises about innovation, the answer appears to be: be more like America. Silicon Valley, home to success stories as diverse as Palantir, Apple and Twitter, is rightly the object of much admiration.
Policymakers outside the U.S. look at the Valley and feel an urge, perhaps natural, to imitate. Cut red tape, pump money into R&D, create conditions favorable for the development of venture capital and startups, and voila: Innovation will happen, bringing productivity gains and growth in its wake. But Silicon Valley's success is built, of course, on strengths no other nation can match: the size of the U.S. economy and consumer base, the existence of complex and sophisticated financing and risk allocation structures (angel investing, traditional venture capital, private equity) to assist new private companies across the product development life cycle, the world's best universities, and deep and liquid capital markets. These aren't the types of things other countries can simply create by force of legislation.
If you don't have Silicon Valley to help you innovate, what next? Despite all the ambitious rhetoric, the thinking on what middle-sized, open economies such as Canada and Australia can actually do to turn themselves into hives of right-brain business ingenuity is surprisingly thin. Earlier this month Richard Florida, the celebrated University of Toronto urban studies academic, said: "We know where innovation comes from. It does not just come from great entrepreneurs or even great companies. It comes from cities, which bring talented and ambitious people, which have the openness and diversity, which spur new ideas, and which are the arenas where ideas come to mate. A successful innovation strategy must be an urban innovation strategy."
The central claim may be debatable — Silicon Valley's relaxed sprawl doesn't exactly scream density and urbanism — but it's an interesting idea. What's more interesting, though, is that there are so few other new ideas out there exploring the origins of innovation in small, non-U.S. economies. Many governments aspire to foster innovative businesses, but exhibit little flare for innovation themselves in their thinking about how to attack that task. Innovation is their new god, but they worship it with old prayers.
The real problem with much of the reasoning — to the extent it's even apparent — behind innovation policy in economies outside the U.S. today is that it's built on a slightly nebulous idea that the state needs to get out of the way and, essentially, let the idiosyncratic geniuses of private enterprise do their thing. This is an economic policy variation of great man theory, in which the state's role is limited to setting the conditions for entrepreneurship at the margins (tax concessions, light regulatory processes, the creation of special economic zones and so on), rather than driving its direction. Australia's Turnbull has flagged the release of a comprehensive national innovation strategy in early December but already the language he and his ministers are choosing to foreshadow its contents tells us much: The emphasis is almost entirely on a minimal state whose best task is to withdraw from the sphere of productive economic activity. The government needs to "remove obstacles" to innovation, Turnbull has argued; innovation, in this sense, is something other people do.
In her influential 2013 book, The Entrepreneurial State: Debunking Public vs. Private Sector Myths, economist Mariana Mazzucato explodes the myth that innovation in the U.S. has been exclusively a creature of Silicon Valley and the private sector. The U.S. government is and has long been a primary motor of innovation, and many of the Valley's most vaunted creations, including Google and the iPhone, emerged via government research grants or earlier product innovations sponsored, in part, by the state. She argues that the U.S.'s stunning postwar successes in innovation have been achieved, in large part, as a result of the state's active role in guiding the strategy and direction of technological change; the government, via bodies such as the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency and the Small Business Innovation Research program, has made Silicon Valley what it is today. This has been more than a simple question of mechanically handing out subsidies or spraying R&D dollars in the hope that innovation will follow; the state has set out a proactive development agenda and actively commissioned the generational, market-creating technologies that require innovation (semiconductors, the Internet, space exploration). This has required the government both to develop a high tolerance for failure and to think carefully about what the future might look like — the very essence of entrepreneurialism.
The boldness of the U.S. government's thinking has been greatly facilitated, of course, by the size of the balance sheet at its disposal. No government has the resources to match Washington, but Mazzucato's contention — a twist on the old Ricardian idea of comparative advantage — is that smaller economies can use their unique, existing strengths to help guide the specific focus of government-led innovation initiatives. These are ideas few appear to be paying attention to. More should. If policymakers across the developed world are going to succeed in making their countries more innovative, creative, confident and dynamic, they may need to throw off the habits of decades and accept that innovation will require more, not less, of a role for the state.

Girls don't want royal life with Harry

Last updated on Jan 15th, 2021 at 03:44 pm
The 27-year-old bachelor Prince Harry â?? whose five-year relationship with Chelsy Davy broke down in 2009 because she reportedly didnâ??t want a life in the public eye – admits itâ??s a struggle to find someone willing to take on the responsibilities that come with marrying into the Royal Family.
Asked if being a prince lives up to the fairytale, he said: â??No, not at all. (Laughs) As any girl would ever tell you. It's sort of, â??Oh my god, he's a princeâ??. But no.
â??The job that it entails – I mean look at me, I'm 27-years-old, and not so much searching for someone to fulfill the role, but obviously, you know, finding someone that would be willing to take it on.â?
On the subject of his famous grandmother, he joked he is planning to take her â??out on the townâ? to celebrate her 60th year on the throne.
Speaking to CBS News of the completion of a 10-day tour of the Caribbean and Brazil as part of the Queenâ??s Diamond Jubilee celebrations, he said: â??As a group of grandchildren, we will hopefully be able to have a dinner and something and do something fun with her, maybe take her out on the town.
â??She's a fantastic woman. Not only as a grandmother, but as a queen as everybody knows. And I never expected the reception, as I said that we've been given in all these countries. It did choke me up a little bit every now and then because to me, she's just Granny. But, to all these countries, she's the queen. She's this great thing that they respect and love. So yeah, it's been an emotional tour but great fun.â?
