Skip About this course
Today the principles and techniques of reproducible research are more important than ever, across diverse disciplines from astrophysics to political science. No one wants to do research that can't be reproduced. Thus, this course is really for anyone who is doing any data intensive research. While many of us come from a biomedical background, this course is for a broad audience of data scientists.
To meet the needs of the scientific community, this course will examine the fundamentals of methods and tools for reproducible research. Led by experienced faculty from the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, you will participate in six modules that will include several case studies that illustrate the significant impact of reproducible research methods on scientific discovery.
This course will appeal to students and professionals in biostatistics, computational biology, bioinformatics, and data science. The course content will blend video lectures, case studies, peer-to-peer engagements and use of computational tools and platforms (such as R/RStudio, and Git/Github), culminating in a final presentation of a final reproducible research project.
We'll cover Fundamentals of Reproducible Science; Case Studies; Data Provenance; Statistical Methods for Reproducible Science; Computational Tools for Reproducible Science; and Reproducible Reporting Science. These concepts are intended to translate to fields throughout the data sciences: physical and life sciences, applied mathematics and statistics, and computing.
Consider this course a survey of best practices: we'd like to make you aware of pitfalls in reproducible data science, some failure - and success - stories in the past, and tools and design patterns that might help make it all easier. But ultimately it'll be up to you to take the skills you learn from this course to create your own environment in which you can easily carry out reproducible research, and to encourage and integrate with similar environments for your collaborators and colleagues. We look forward to seeing you in this course and the research you do in the future!

Until now, tyranny has merely changed hands. In their common respect for rulers, antagonistic powers have always fostered the seeds of their future coexistence. (When the leader of the game takes the power of a Leader, the revolution dies with the revolutionaries.) Unresolved antagonisms fester, hiding real contradictions. Decompression is the permanent control of both antagonists by the ruling class. The third force radicalizes contradictions and leads to their supersession, in the name of individual freedom and against all forms of constraint. Power has no option but to smash or incorporate the third force without admitting its existence.
To sum up. Millions of men lived in a huge building with no doors or windows. The feeble light of countless oil lamps competed with the unchanging darkness. As had been the custom since remotest antiquity, the upkeep of the lamps was the duty of the poor, so that the flow of oil followed the alternation of revolt and pacification. One day a general insurrection broke out, the most violent that this people had ever known. Its leaders demanded a fair allotment of the costs of lighting; a large number of revolutionaries said that what they considered a public utility should be free; a few extremists went so far as to clamour for the destruction of the building, which they claimed was unhealthy, even unfit for human habitation. As usual, the more reasonable combatants found themselves helpless before the violence of the conflict. During a particularly lively clash with the forces of order, a stray bullet pierced the outer wall, leaving a crack through which daylight streamed in. After a moment of stupor, this flood of light was greeted with cries of victory. The solution had been found: all they had to do was to make some more holes. The lamps were thrown away or put in museums, and power fell to the window makers. The partisans of radical destruction were forgotten, and even their discreet liquidation, it seems, went almost unnoticed. (Everyone was arguing about the number and position of the windows.) Then, a century or two later, their names were remembered, when the people, that eternal malcontent, had grown accustomed to plate-glass windows, and took to asking extravagant questions. "To drag out our days in a greenhouse, is that living?" they asked.
The consciousness of our time oscillates between that of the walled-up man and that of the prisoner. For the individual, the oscillation takes the place of freedom; like a condemned man, he paces up and down between the blank wall of his cell and the barred window that represents the possibility of escape. If somebody knocks a hole in the cellar of isolation, hope filters in with the light. The good behaviour of the prisoner depends on the hope of escape which prisons foster. On the other hand, when he is trapped by a wall with no windows, a man can only feel the desperate rage to knock it down or break his head against it, which can only be seen as unfortunate from the point of view of efficient social organization (even if the suicide doesn't have the happy idea of going to his death in the style of an oriental price, immolating all his slaves: judges, bishops, generals, policemen, psychiatrists, philosophers, managers, specialists, planners...)
The man who is walled up alive has nothing to lose; the prisoner still has hope. Hope is the leash of submission. When power's boiler is in danger of exploding, it uses its safety-valve to lower the pressure. It seems to change; in fact it only adapts itself and resolves its difficulties.
There is no authority which does not see, rising against it, an authority which is similar but which passes for its opposite. But nothing is more dangerous for the principle of hierarchical government than the merciless confrontation of two powers driven by a rage for total annihilation. In such a conflict, the tidal wave of fanaticism carries away the most stable values; no-mans-land eats up the whole map, establishing everywhere the inter-regnum of &quotnothing is true. everything is permitted". History, however, offers not one example of a titanic conflict which has not opportunely defused and turned into a comic-opera battle. What is the source of this decompression? The agreement on matters of principle which is implicitly reached by the warring powers.
The hierarchical principle remains common to the fanatics of both sides: opposite the capitalism of Lloyd George and Krupp appears the anticapitalism of Lenin and Trotsky. From the mirrors of the masters of the present the masters of the future are already smiling back. Heinrich Heine writes:
LSchelnd scheidet der Tyran
Denn er weiss, nach seinem Tode
Wechselt WillkŸr nur die HSnde
Und die Knechtschaft hat kein Ende.
The tyrant dies smiling; for he knows that after his death tyranny will merely change hands, and slavery will never end. Bosses differ according to their modes of domination, but they are still bosses, owners of a power exercised as a private right. (Lenin's greatness has to do with his romantic refusal to assume the position of absolute master implied by his ultra-hierarchical organization of the Bolshevik party; and it is to this greatness also that the workers' movement is indebted for Kronstadt, Budapest and batiuchka Stalin.)
From this moment, the point of contact between the two powers becomes the point of decompression. To identify the enemy with Evil and crown one's own side with the halo of Good has the strategic advantage of ensuring unity of action by canalising the energy of the combatants. But this manoeuvre demands the annihilation of the enemy. Moderates hesitate before such a prospect; for the radical destruction of the enemy would include the destruction of what their own side has in common with the enemy. The logic of Bolshevism demanded the heads of the leaders of social-democracy; the latter hastily sold out, and they did so precisely because they were leaders. The logic of anarchism demanded the liquidation of Bolshevik power; the latter rapidly crushed them, and did so inasmuch as it was hierarchical power. The same predictable sequence of betrayals threw Durrutti's anarchists before the united guns of republicans, socialists and Stalinists.
As soon as the leader of the game turns into a Leader. the principle of hierarchy is saved, and the Revolution sits down to preside over the execution of the revolutionaries. We must never forget that the revolutionary project belongs to the masses alone; leaders help it, Leaders betray it. To begin with, the real struggle takes place between the leader of the game and the Leader.
The professional revolutionary measures the state of his forces in quantitative terms, just as any soldier judges an officer's rank by the number of men under his command. The leaders of so-called insurrectionary parties dismiss the qualitative in favour of a quantitative expertise. had the 'reds' been blessed with half a million more men with modern weapons, the Spanish revolution would still have been lost. It died under the heels of the people's commissars. The speeches of La Pasionaria already sounded like funeral orations; pathetic whining drowned the language of deeds, the spirit of the collectives of Aragon -- the spirit of a radical minority resolved to sever with a single stroke all the heads of the hydra, not just its fascist head.
Never, and for good reason, has an absolute confrontation been carried through. So far the last fight has only had false starts. Everything must be resumed from scratch. History's only justification is to help us do it.
Under the process of decompression, antagonists who seemed irreconcilable at first sight grow old together, become frozen in purely formal opposition, lose their substance, neutralize and moulder into each other. Who would recognize the Bolshevik with his knife between his teeth in the Gagarinism of doting Moscow? Today, by the grace of the Ïcumenical miracle, the slogan &quotWorkers of the World, unite" celebrates the union of the world's bosses. A touching scene. The common element in the antagonism, the seed of power, which a radical struggle would have rooted out, has grown up to reconcile the estranged brothers.
Is it as simple as this? Of course not; the farce would lose its entertainment value. On the international stage, those two old hams, capitalism and anticapitalism, carry on their lovers' banter. How the spectators tremble when they begin to quarrel, how they stamp with glee when peace blesses the loving couple! Is interest flagging? A brick is added to the Berlin wall; the bloodthirsty Mao gnashes his paper teeth, while in the background a choir of little Chinese nitwits sings paeons to fatherland, family and work. Patched up like this, the old melodrama is ready to hit the road. The ideological spectacle keeps up with the times by bringing out harmless plastic antagonisms; are you for or against Brigitte Bardot, the Beatles, mini-cars, hippies, nationalization, spaghetti, old people, the TUC, mini-skirts, pop art, thermonuclear war, hitch-hiking? There is no one who is not accosted at every moment of the day by posters, news flashes, stereotypes, summoned to take sides over each of the prefabricated trifles that conscientiously stop up all the sources of everyday creativity. In the hands of power these particles of antagonism are moulded into a magnetic ring whose function is to make everybody lose their bearings, to pull everyone out of himself and to scramble lines of force.
Decompression is simply the control of antagonisms by power. The opposition of two terms is given its real meaning by the introduction of a third. As long as there are only two equal and opposite polarities, they neutralize each other, since each is defined by the other; as it is impossible to choose between them, we are led into the domain of tolerance and relativity which is so dear to the bourgeoisie. One can well understand the importance for the apostolic hierarchy of the dispute between Manicheism and Trinitarianism! In a merciless confrontation between God and Satan, what would have been left of ecclesiastical authority? Nothing, as the millenarian crises demonstrated. That is why the secular arm carried out its holy offices, and the pyres crackled for the mystics of God or the devil, those overbold theologians who questioned the principle of Three in One. The temporal masters of Christianity were resolved that only they should be entitled to treat of the difference between the master of Good and the master of Evil. They were the great intermediaries through which the choice of one side or the other had to pass; they controlled the paths to salvation and damnation, and this control was more important to them than salvation and damnation themselves. On earth they proclaimed themselves judges without appeal, since they had also decided to be the judged in an afterlife whose laws they had invented.
The Christian myth defused the bitter Manichean conflict by offering to the believer the possibility of individual salvation; this was the breach opened up by the Poor Bugger of Nazareth. Thus man escaped the rigours of a confrontation which necessarily led to the destruction of values, to nihilism. But the same stroke denied him the opportunity to reconquer himself by means of a general upheaval, the chance of taking his place in the universe by chasing out the gods and their slavemasters. Therefore, the movement of decompression appears to have the function of shackling man's most irreducible desire, the desire to be completely himself.
In all conflicts between opposing sides, an irrepressible upsurge of individual desires takes place and often reaches a threatening intensity. To this extent we are justified in talking of a third force. From the individual's point of view, the third force is what the force of decompression is from the point of view of power. The small chance of every struggle, it radicalizes insurrections, denounces false problems, threatens power in its very structure. It is what Brecht was referring to in one of his Keuner stories: &quotWhen a proletarian was brought to court and asked if he wished to take the oath in the ecclesiastical or the lay form, he replied 'I'm out of work.'" The third force does not hope for the withering away of constraints, but aims to supersede them. Prematurely crushed or incorporated, it becomes by inversion a force of decompression. Thus, the salvation of the soul is nothing but the will to live, incorporated through myth, mediated, emptied of its real content. On the other hand, their peremptory demand for a full life explains the hatred incurred by certain gnostic sects or by the Brethren of the Free Spirit. During the decline of Christianity, the struggle between Pascal and the Jesuits spotlighted the opposition between the reformist doctrine of individual salvation and compromise with heaven and the project of realizing God by the nihilist destruction of the world. And, once it had got rid of the dead wood of theology, the third force survived to inspire Babeuf's struggle against the million dor*, the Marxist project of the complete man, the dreams of Fourier, the explosion of the Commune, and the violence of the anarchists.
Individualism, alcoholism, collectivism, activism... the variety of ideologies shows that there are a hundred ways of being on the side of power. There is only one way to be radical. The wall that must be knocked down is immense, but it has been cracked so many times that soon a single cry will be enough to bring it crashing to the ground. Let the formidable reality of the third force emerge at last from the mists of history, with all the individual passions that have fuelled the insurrections of the past! Soon we shall find that an energy is locked up in everyday life which can move mountains and abolish distances. The long revolution is preparing to write works in the ink of action whose unknown or nameless authors will flock to join Sade, Fourier, Babeuf, Marx, Lacenaire, Stirner, Lautréamont, L'hautier, Vaillant, Henry, Villa, Zapata, Makhno, the Communards, the insurrectionaries of Hamburg, Kiel, Kronstadt, Asturias -- all those who have not yet played their last card in a game which we have only just joined: the great gamble whose stake is freedom.

UDO ZIMMERMANN (b.1943): Weisse Rose.
Format: CD reissue
Description: Zimmermann's chamber opera is based on the true story of brother and sister Hans and Sophie Scholl, members of a non-violent resistance group White Rose, which published pamphlets in opposition to Hitler. They were arrested, imprisoned and guillotined by the Nazis. The piece takes place in their prison cell and consists entirely of dialogue between the two characters, a powerful De profundis in which they reflect on their situation, knowing what their fate will be, while envisioning the world outside through images of beauty and hope for a future in which the world will be cleansed of the horrors that led to their situation. There is no action in the work, but the brutality of their interrogation is conveyed unequivocally through the music; harsh, pounding percussive chords fall like blows between episodes of desperate yet lyrical sung material in a broadly expressionistic style. An especially moving section is based on a waltz, beginning like an innocently nostalgic memory then distorted, then regaining its elegant consonance, a sense of longing for a world outside the nightmare. A powerful, intense work. Libretto available on-line. Grazyna Szklarecka (soprano), Frank Schiller (tenor), Musica Viva Ensemble Dresden; Udo Zimmermann. Original 1992 Berlin Classics release.


Whilst the use of 2.0 this and that appear all over the place, indeed Services 2.0 was mentioned two years back, and is being successfully pursued by Appirio, what we are trying to address at Coherence Design really is a niche version exploitation of the disruptive changes afforded by SaaS and Web 2.0 approaches under the banner of Services 2.0.
The service model needs to evolve to meet the challenges and opportunities presented by SaaS ISV's and their growing customer bases. The opportunity is that these vendors strive to make their offerings simple, focused, and easy to use - they don't see services as fitting into their modus operandi (method) of doing business. It almost grates with them on several fronts, but they are beginning to see the value, if they are to scale and keep the breadth of their customer base happy & subscribed!
Some folks do need help, since any system needs to be based on a process it is trying to support. Skills such as business analysis, design, configuration, and the Daddy of them all - introducing change, still apply to some degree or another.
The challenge and a cornerstone for Services 2.0 is the ability to do this very efficiently. Generating the need for substantial services is not the game in town any more. Rather, it's one of packaging and tailoring re-usable knowledge to get the job done fast and at a price compatible with the SaaS application pricing. It takes minutes or seconds now to provision the IT, you can't be waiting too long for an actual in-service solution to be launched.
There is also also much more opportunity for iterative working, any services person will tell you that 'client's rarely know what they actually want'. Get something up quick, then evolve it. The gotcha is that mistakes can be made if you don't know the big picture - knowing enough about the business context of use or what can be done with the features and functions. Hence you need some friends and a good old fashioned service focus culture.
Friends is quite apt, since sociable aspects fit well into building relationships up, down, and across the value chain. An such Services 2.0 providers needs to be well connected and since they work for their client's (both up and down the chain), I also see some advocacy included in the mix.
I think we'll be seeing more re-intermediation going on. SaaS has been seen as a keen exponent of dis-intermediation, the ability to cut out the middle man and go direct. This has been effective, but holes are left to be filled by new players with approaches that are better suited for all parties.
The possibilities are only just emerging, value-add services, like software, is not the preserve for those with deep pockets any more.
But beware , channel partners, have in the past, been notoriously fickle - they liked big bucks, everything set-up, and low risk. Choose you friends wisely, you'll need one of a newer breed of Services 2.0 providers.
We have the best services!
Good post, lots of good info. You talked about fickle clients, you really need good communication, almost to the point of drawing pictures sometimes, to understand what a client wants. And I like the getting back to service theme, it is the answer to happy customers and SaaS that works and does what the customer wants.

Community Rallies Behind Liquor Store as RiNo Gentrification Debate Continues
Jonina Diele June 23, 2017 Lifestyle + Culture

Tensions are settling in the RiNo neighborhood today after family-owned Joe's Liquor came to an agreement with the nearby businesses to drop a hearing on the store's liquor license. The hearing on whether or not to renew the license of the 33-year-old business was requested by multiple business owners in the area. As originally reported by Denverite, the complaints came in the form of letters that claimed Joe's was a "nuisance," noting public intoxication of its customers, some of whom are presumably homeless. The current agreement aims to tackle some these claims by adding conditions for the renewal including: not selling liquor to habitual drunkards, prohibiting loitering and having all employees complete TIPs (Training for Intervention Procedures) training.

Some community members believe that gentrifying forces are to blame for the effort to remove the liquor store. Joe's, which is owned by the Choi family, is one of the very few businesses that have operated on the block for more than a decade. Much of the contention has been focused on the fact that the majority of the businesses are housed in buildings owned by one developer, Kenneth Wolf. He owns Denver Central Market as well as the buildings that house 10 Barrel Brewing Co., Samana Float Center, LIV Studio and Visions West Contemporary — all of which filed complaints to the city. Due to a state proximity statute, Wolf (or anyone) is legally unable to open a liquor store if Joe's is still in business. In his own letter to the city, Wolf denies the rumors that he wants to own a liquor store in the area. He also notes that he has made multiple attempts to purchase the store in order to transfer it to a "responsible operator." Wolf did not immediately return our request for a comment on the subject.
Word about the situation spread wildly on social media, and the community has shown support of Joe's. Local photographer and founder of Theyshootn, Armando Geneyro, was motivated by the situation to take photos of community members making signs and showing support of the store and the Choi family. After many people showed interest, it was decided to instead host a rally. "I really just wanted to take some photos of people from the community showing their support to Joe's. There's power in images, and I wanted to make sure I documented what I feel is an important moment in time for our neighborhood," Geneyro said. "Joe's has been there for 30 plus years. I figure if they can push out Joe's, they can push out whatever establishment they want. A lot of people have shown their support and have RSVP'd to the rally, which goes to show you how much the community respects Tim Choi and his family."

Geneyro explained he felt a responsibility to bring people together for this cause. "As a [person of color], it just triggered something inside," he said. "I'm no politician or philanthropist, but I felt it necessary to help speak out against practices that I felt are unjust. This is definitely something happening at what seems like every corner in Denver." He also pointed out issues he had with the letters citing problems with the homeless. "They want to cite homelessness as a reason to shut Joe's down. Why don't they help out instead of fucking criminalizing and placing this stigma on the homeless people in our neighborhood?" he asked. "The city does very little to address issues like homelessness and high cost of living. Instead, they criminalize homelessness and let developers get off with bullshit fines when they refuse to offer affordable housing options."

On the evening of June 22, a crowd rallied behind Geneyro's vision and showed up in support of Joe's. The hearing had been canceled shortly before the rally began, but the crowd still came out to show their love and appreciation for the Choi family — and to make it known the community is here to stay. The gathering was passionately charged and good spirited. Many people walking or driving by shouted or honked in support. Folks were handing out flowers, giving hugs and sharing memories of when the neighborhood around them — what they still consider the East Side — looked vastly different. It was no secret that the changes to the neighborhood have been painful for some of the people gathered there.
"We're all here because we've seen this neighborhood rapidly grow in the last few years and change. A lot of us have roots in this community, in Curtis Park. My family has been here almost a century — 80 years we've been in this neighborhood. There's a lot going on with development, and I feel like there's a lot of people taking opportunities to push people who've been in this neighborhood out," said Justine Sandoval, a rally attendee. "Right now we're really trying to push back against that because I feel like if we didn't come together as a community, they would've used tactics with the city to push this liquor store out. This liquor store has been here as long as I can remember … We've seen that happen over, and over and over." In talking to the community members, it became clear that the situation with Joe's is representative of something larger.
"They continue to marginalize poor business by holding them to certain standards that they don't hold other businesses to. There was language about drunkards, habitual drunkards, but we all know that LoDo and RiNo are full of habitual drunkards who are here all the time. Why is there one standard for one type of drunk and not another type of drunk? To me, it's a class issue," said Sandoval. "We're really tired of that type of stuff going down in the city. We're here to say, 'Alright, if you want to hold them to one standard, then you have to hold everyone to a standard here, because there was a community here and there are people who have a right to exist and have businesses here.'"
Vanessa Quintana, who also grew up in the area, spoke of a similar sentiment. "It's just one symptom of the whole process of gentrification here in my neighborhood. I was born and raised in this neighborhood, I used to come bike riding down in this area, I had friends who lived in those projects that were shut down," she said. "This is my neighborhood, and to see all of this … development push out the families, low-income families of color, trying to push out businesses of color simply because their customer base is different, [because] it's not appealing to the white middle-class customer base — it pisses me off, it's infuriating." Quintana explained that due to the development, she can no longer live in the neighborhood. She also pointed out that there's a lack of effort to include the community that's already been in the area in the development. "I grew up here, and now I don't even recognize it," she said.
The rally created an opportunity for the dialogue Quintana mentioned to take place — even if it's mostly between community members who feel similarly about the issue. It was also a clear demonstration that the community is loud, united and there to stay — and they all surely love the Chois and their business. Joe himself was visibly feeling supported, and when asked for comment he said, teary-eyed, "Thank you to everybody, so much. Just thank you."

The restrictions on Joe's Liquors should apply to all of the bars and stores up and down the street. The homeless population is not the only ones who are habitual drunks. "RiNo" is full of drunks, and loud people who disrespect the older residents, sit drunkenly on the steps to Sacred Heart Church and act as if they own the entire neighborhood. News to Ken Wolf: The homeless are not going anywhere, the poor are not going anywhere. This is city neighborhood and you need to figure out how to work with the existing community.

White people want to push anyone not like them out. Let's be real, gentrification is simply, for all, the last vestiges of MANIFEST DESTINY,and colonizing every inch of everywhere for THEMSELVES!
I have ROLLING pedal-powered DRUNKS going SLOW down all the streets in the e, holding up traffic behind them as the pedal and drink their way through the hood. I have drunks filling party buses taking these WHITE DRUNKS w/$$ from bar to bar all around my community, with NO RESPECT for Sunday services at Sacred Heart…but this all "good", cuz they white drunks with cash, yo!
Does anyone truly see the writing on the wall?
Racial civil war is the path this nation is going down.
The divide and growing tension between PoC and the rising white supremacy that treats us "others" as LESS THAN, it ain't gonna play out to anyone's advantage other than to further widen the gap between the haves, and have nots.
The crappiest part of dealing with all these new settlers, is they are the most extremely rude people walking the hood.
You say hello and they act as if WHY are you talking to them, and the VAST majority can't nor WON'T be BOTHERED by responding with a simple, neighborly hello in return.
Everyone I know is completely over the OVER DEVELOPMENT of "certain neighborhoods" in our city of Denver.
Sheesh, can it stop already for some breathing as we acknowledge what all this gentrification is doing to large swaths of out own communities before none of us are left!

Apple's fourth-quarter earnings in charts
AP Photo/Eric Risber
"This is how much I pay in tax."
From our Obsession
By Dan Frommer
Published October 27, 2015 This article is more than 2 years old.
This post has been updated. Apple reported solid fourth quarter results today, reporting $51.5 billion in revenue—slightly more than expected—and 48 million iPhone shipments. More importantly, its forecast for the holiday period was about as expected—a deceleration in growth. Shares initially traded up slightly after hours, then down slightly, but there were no big surprises.
We live-charted Apple's report this afternoon. Here's a visual representation of its results.
4:05pm: Apple shares closed down 0.6% today to $114.55. Shares are down about 8% since Apple's last earnings report in July.
4:35pm: Apple's release is out. Overall, the company reported $51.5 billion in revenue, representing 22% year-over-year growth, just slightly more than expected.
4:38pm: Apple shipped 48 million iPhones last quarter, up 22% year-over-year. iPhones represented 63% of Apple's overall revenue, about the same as last quarter.
4:42pm: Apple, once again, did not disclose how many Apple Watches it sold during the quarter. But "Other Products," the line where Apple reports Watch revenue, grew to $3.05 billion, up $1.15 billion from the same quarter last year. The trend is unmistakeable. (But only up about $400 million from the prior quarter.)
4:47pm: Apple's growing China business continues to outpace the rest of the company. Last quarter, Apple generated $12.5 billion in revenue in Greater China, representing 24% of its total revenue. China sales grew 99% year-over-year, surely aided by the relatively early launch of the iPhone there this year.
4:48pm: Apple now has $207.5 billion in cash. Insert "bigger than x" joke here.
4:51pm: The iPad remains a question mark for Apple. Shipments declined to 9.9 million last quarter, down 20% year-over-year. It's still a business most companies would be jealous of, generating $4.3 billion of revenue during the quarter. But it was the first time Apple shipped fewer than 10 million iPads in a quarter since the June 2011 quarter.
4:54pm: Meanwhile, the Mac business just set another all-time record. Apple sold 5.7 million Macs during the quarter, up 3% year-over-year. The Mac continues to outpace the broader, shrinking PC industry.
5:05pm: The average price paid for an iPhone inched up to $670, up almost $70 from a year ago. This is likely because of several factors, perhaps including increased popularity of the more-expensive, larger "Plus" iPhone, and more people avoiding the cheapest, 16 GB models. iPad prices increased slightly. (And probably won't change much when the expensive, niche iPad Pro ships later this year.)
5:12pm: Apple once again beat the high end of its revenue guidance range, reporting $51.5 billion in sales after projecting a range of $49 billion to $51 billion. Over the past 11 quarters, Apple has beat the high end of its guidance eight times—including the last five in a row—by an average of more than $2 billion.
Its forecast for the all-important December quarter was in line with expectations: Apple predicts it will generate $75.5-77.5 billion this quarter. This would represent modest, slowing growth, relative to prior quarters. Last year, Apple reported $74.6 billion in December quarter revenue. So its midpoint guidance this time, $76.5 billion, would imply just 2.5% growth. That's a big deceleration from the past four quarters, where growth has been in the 20s and 30s, percentage-wise. Shares are up 1.3% in after-hours trading. (Later on the earnings call, Apple CEO Tim Cook noted that foreign currency woes are significantly affecting its "growth" prospects.)
5:14pm: On the call, Cook noted that 61% of iOS devices are running iOS 9. That's ahead of last year's iOS 8 adoption pace.
5:19pm: No major changes in Apple's revenue-by-segment chart.

The 2019 version of the Fantasy Manager game has not yet launched but that has not stopped fantasy managers from thinking about which players may be their early targets. If you've found yourself asking "I wish I had an easier way to see the stats from last year", I'm here to help. It can be hard to look through each player's history tab and the amount of information we had inside the 2018 game was limited. So I've partnered with MLS Fantasy Cheatsheet and worked up something that I think will help.
Below I have an Excel spreadsheet that has the important stats for every player in the 2018 game. The file also breaks down each position by the number of minutes played, and finishes with just the top 25%.


YEREVAN (RFE/RL)–Armenian President Robert Kocharian Wednesday named the younger brother of the slain Prime Minister Vazgen Sargsyan as new premier in a decree agreed with the biggest faction in parliament.
The 38-year-old Aram Sargsyan took over the Armenian government exactly one week after his brother and seven other officials were gunned down in a bloody attack on parliament unleashed by five gunmen. Parliament speaker Karen Demirchian was also among the victims.
Aram Sargsyan was nominated for the top post earlier in the day by the ruling Unity bloc–which was co-headed by Vazgen Sargsyan and Demirchian. The bloc controls the current Armenian parliament and key ministerial posts in the government.
The decision to back the assassinated premier's brother was made at a meeting of the Unity faction in parliament. Kocharian said earlier that the new premier and his cabinet must enjoy the support of the parliament majority.
A construction engineer by training–Aram Sargsyan ran a state-owned cement factory in the city of Ararat 40 kilometers southeast of the capital Yerevan until the appointment.
He has not been involved in active politics before–despite membership in the bloc.
Andranik Markarian–a leading figure in the bloc–told RFE/RL that the new premier will continue his predecessor's policy. He said there will be no changes in Armenia's policy on the unresolved Nagorno-Karabakh conflict or economic reforms agreed with Western lending institutions. A similar pledge was made by the new speaker and two vice-speakers of parliament elected on Tuesday.
Markarian declined to reveal who first proposed Sargsyan's candidacy for premiership.
"It's hard to say who proposed first–but when that idea emerged we concentrated on discussing it," he said. The second-biggest Stability faction also endorsed him. "Underlying our confidence was one thing: Armen Sargsyan is the brother of Vazgen Sargsyan," said Stability leader Hovannes Hovannisian.
The new premier met with deputies representing the two allied factions shortly before Kocharian's decree was signed. One of the participants quoted Sargsyan as saying that he "will not be revengeful" when dealing with the aftermath of the parliament tragedy.
According to deputy speaker of parliament–Gagik Aslanian–Sargsyan was selected by the parliament majority from a pool of four candidates–including Yerevan mayor Albert Bazeyan–the minister for industrial infrastructures–Vahan Shirkhanian–and the minister for state revenues–Smbat Ayvazian. Under the Armenian constitution–the prime minister is appointed by the head of state but can be removed from office by parliament.
Officials said Prime Minister Aram Sargsyan will form his cabinet within a week. The majority of cabinet members are expected to remain in their posts. However–the interior and national security ministries may be headed by new figures.
The acting ministers of interior and national security have already tendered their resignations under pressure from the military who hold them responsible for allowing the well armed gunmen access to the parliament building.
"We are not constraining the prime minister. That is–we will not decide on the list of ministers," Unity's Markarian said.
Armenian press reports have said the defense ministry and Kocharian were at odds over who should get the security portfolios. But vice-speaker Aslanian insisted that the defense ministry will have no role in key appointmen's.
In another development–a spokeswoman for the Armenian president told RFE/RL that Kocharian will on Friday meet with Russian President Boris Yeltsin in Moscow.
Sargsyan recently worked as Executive Director of the "Ararat-cement" state-run company.
Sargsyan was born on January 2–1961 in the village of Ararat in the Ararat region–where he graduated from a local secondary school.
In 1981 he graduated from the sculpture department of Yerevan Arts School N 8.
In 1981-83 he served in the Soviet Army.
In 1989 he graduated from the architectural-construction department of the Yerevan Polytechnic Institute–receiving the qualification of constructor-engineer.
Sargsyan started his career at the AraratStroyTrust factory where he held different positions.
In 1993–Sargsyan went to work in the "AraratCement" plant first as assistant director general and then as deputy director general for capital construction.
Since 1998–he has been executive director of the "AraratCement" state-run company.
Aram Sargsyan is a member of the Republican Party of Armenia and the "Yerkrapah" Union of Volunteers.
He is married–with three children.


Harald Sack is Professor for Information Services Engineering at two of the most renowned research institutions in Europe: FIZ Karlsruhe and AIFB. He is a part of SEMANTiCS' research and innovation track program committee as well as of the conference's permanent advisory board. His publications include more than 130 papers in international journals and conferences and three standard textbooks on networking technologies. Harald is also one of the founders of yovisto GmbH. In this interview he speaks about the limited capabilities of search engines, the necessity of data being open and the coffee culture in Vienna.
You have been working in many research areas such as semantic web technologies, knowledge representations, multimedia analysis & retrieval. Which technology will shape our future the most?
Harald Sack: "It's tough to make predictions, especially about the future", as physicist Niels Bohr is quoted to have said. One thing for sure will change the world as we know it today, and this is the rise of autonomous systems. I would expect major progress in the synthesis of symbolic logic as for (explicit) knowledge representation in combination with (implicit) deep neural networks. This development will lead to autonomous systems that learn while interacting with their environment, that are able to generalize, to draw deductions, and to adapt to new, previously unknown situations.
What are you currently focusing on in your research work? How does this contribute to the advancement of semantic technologies?
Harald Sack: In particular my research is focused on the application of semantic technologies in combination with machine learning for information extraction, semantic analysis, as well as for semantic and exploratory search in information systems. One of my favourite application areas is exploratory search, i.e. searching where you don't know exactly where the search process might lead you to. Sometimes you might not be able to explicitly phrase your search intention. Probably because you lack the vocabulary or you might not be an expert in the domain in which you are looking for information. Then, first you have to gather information about your domain before you might be able to perform pinpoint retrieval. This process can be supported by intelligent recommender systems, extending your scope, leading you through the vast search space on dedicated paths towards your preferred direction. This is something that current search engines are not capable of.
SEMANTiCS: You are very passionate about open data and open software. You are an active member of the DBpedia Board and the German DBpedia Chapter. How does open data and linked data complement each other?
Harald Sack: To obtain maximum benefit of linked data, data has to be linked to other data, i.e. other data must also be able to link to your data. This is easily achieved, as long as data is provided as open data. Proprietary data can of course also be linked to other data, but how should I know that it is there and that it would also benefit from being externally linked and reused. However, I know that data also might be an asset and therefore your business case demands your data to be proprietary. Nevertheless, in research we should demand to keep our research data open to ensure reproducibility of our research results. Otherwise, research progress will be limited.
SEMANTiCS: What do you expect from SEMANTiCS 2018 in Vienna and the DBpedia Community Meeting? And what is the story about your #CoffeeChallenges? Please enlighten us.
Discuss the potential of autonomous systems with Harald at SEMANTiCS 2018. Register now!

Murphy's Law är en amerikansk hardcore-grupp från New York, bildad 1982. Bandet anses allmänt vara ett av de allra första hardcore-banden och frontmannen Jimmy Gestapo (Jimmy Drescher) är en legend inom scenen. Murpy's Law har varit aktivt sedan början av 1980-talet och gett ut fem studioalbum.

Murphy's Law har beskrivits som ett av de mer musikaliskt bevandrade banden inom hardcore-scenen - de blandar gärna gammaldags punk, ska och till och med blues i sin musik och uppsättningen har gästats av flera erkända musiker som inte vanligtvis förknippas med hardcore. Trots det har alltid den traditionella hardcore-tematiken (våld, droger, festande, antiauktoritarism) funnits närvarande både i sångtexterna och medlemmarnas livsstil, vilken kan vara en av orsakerna till att gruppen haft en uppsjö av personer i den konstant fluktuerande uppställningen.

Robert Muller (born 1923 in Belgium) was an employee of the United Nations. Assistant Secretary General for 40 years, his ideas about world government, world peace and spirituality led to the increased representation of religions in the UN, especially of New Age Movement. He has become known as the "Philosopher" of the UN.
Muller was raised in the Alsace-Lorraine region of France. And during World War II was a participant in the underground movement. After the war he earned a Doctorate of Law at the University of Strasbourg and in 1948 won an essay contest on how to govern the world. The prize was an internship at the newly created United Nations, and he spent the next 40 years working on world peace in his position as Assistant Secretary General.

Guilty pleas in £50m investment fraud
19 December, 2014 | News Releases
Richard Aston Clay, a former partner of Arck LLP, pleaded guilty today at Southwark Crown Court to three fraud charges brought by the Serious Fraud Office following a joint investigation with Nottinghamshire Police.
The investigation concerned the creation and marketing of various unregulated financial products which were made available to individual investors through Independent Financial Advisers ("IFAs") between 2006 and 2012. It is estimated that approximately £50m was invested in Arck products by individual investors and, in some cases, IFAs themselves.
Mr Clay's business partner Kathryn Clark pleaded guilty in July and October this year to three fraud charges and two counts of forgery.
Joint Head of Fraud at the SFO, Jane de Lozey said:
"This was a complex and thorough investigation involving financial products which appeared innovative but were in fact part of an elaborate scam. It is another example of the misuse of pension monies and highlights the vulnerability of investors to these types of frauds."
The SFO and Nottinghamshire Police, assisted by the East Midlands Special Operations Unit, have worked jointly on this investigation since May 2012. The Financial Conduct Authority has also been assisting with the investigation.
Sentencing is due to take place on 20 February 2015.
1. Mr Clay pleaded guilty to three counts of fraud contrary to the Fraud Act 2006. It was ordered the remaining counts on the indictment should lie on the file. No evidence has been offered to count 9 as it is in the alternative to count 10.
2. Arck LLP is a Nottingham-based partnership that created and marketed property investment financial products. Arck is now in liquidation.
3. News release about the charges are available here as well as updates on the case here.
4. The SFO is a partner in a multi-agency campaign named Project Bloom to raise awareness of pension scams, details of which are available here. Other partners include the Department of Work and Pension, The Pensions Regulator, The Pensions Advisory Service, Money Advice Service, Financial Conduct Authority, HM Revenue & Customs, Action Fraud, National Crime Agency and the City of London Police.

Here are some fun Halloween Decorating Ideas!
Oh my Halloween is coming up on us SO fast, and the kids don't even have costumes yet! Bad momma. But the step is decorated and the mantel is done…that counts right?! I thought it might be fun to show you how things looked around here last year and the year before. We always have so much fun decorating and carving pumpkins! Maybe you will find some inspiration for your spooky day!
These are the pumpkins we carved a couple of years ago! So fun! Walmart has the best pumpkin carving kits, and I know that these look complicated, but really they were so easy to do!
This is our step last year! Our *sick* pumpkin is always a big hit every year! Too funny! And you might notice my Spooky Eyeball Wreath. I still love this wreath! People found it quite spooky, so I say I made it just right then!
This green gourd was my favourite last year! My Mom found these giant gourds at a market and gave them to me for my fall display. I took one look at it and knew it would make the perfect Halloween carving! Isn't it so great?! Carve those gourds!
Here is my Halloween mantel from last year. I love the orange/purple/black/white colour combination so much that I did something very similar this year…stay tuned to see that!
And a little vignette I put together. Love this lace pumpkin! Aren't white pumpkins the best!
And my Eyeball wreath. Love it. Don't need to say much else about it…pretty self explanatory, lol!
You might remember this Spider Light wreath that I made a couple of weeks ago! This looks so great on our front porch at night!
I hope you enjoyed this little Halloween round-up! I really love Halloween and we have so much fun with it every year! Can't wait to show you what we've been up to this year, so stay tuned!
Love the eyeball wreath, very cool idea!
BTW, that french toast dish looks soo good!

Three Eagles Fly Into First All-Star Five of the Decade
Newcastle Eagles/News/BBL/Three Eagles Fly Into First All-Star Five of the Decade
It's the first line-up of 2020 from the leagues and three of our Eagles made the cut after a huge weekend of performances.
Firstly in the BBL for week 16 both CJ Gettys and Nick Schlitzer picked-up starting spots in the All-Star Five.
CJ Gettys with the highest individual Performance Points tally for a player this season and his third appearance in a row, he proved far too much for Scottish league side Dunfermline Reign to handle.
Our seven-footer scored 31 points on 13-18 (72%) inside shooting, adding 19 rebounds. Ten of his points came from his nine offensive boards, as did one of his five assists. He also made his presence felt defensively, with five blocked shots.
Making his first appearance, Nick Schlitzer came from the bench to have a career night and finish with a triple-double against Dunfermline. He shot 7-12 (58%) three-pointers on his way to 30 points, tying the most made triples by a player this season, with 10 rebounds and 10 assists.

Lisa Koop also received a nod in this week's pick of the WBBL players on the bench.

Q: How do I get my Hyper-V set up back? How do I get my Hyper-V set up back?
I set up a couple of vitrual machines using Hyper-V.  There seemed to be some memory and resource issues.  So I closed down the virtual machines and Hyper-V and then I ran malwarebytes, ccleaner, and avg to clean up my system.  I uninstalled a few programs that I determined I did not need.  Then I also disabled some programs that run on start up.
There must have been something, within the scope of all of this, that something was done to make Hyper-V behave differently.  And this is why I am posting this. The data in which the virtual machines ran on must still exist on my hard drive and I should be able to load it again.
At this time, when I type to launch hyper-v, I am given the opportunity to launch "Hyper-V Manager". The program loads with no virtual machines listen.  It's title bar says "Console1 - [Console Root]" amd "Console Root is listed as a folder.  How do I set things back to the way they were?  What are your thoughts?  Please help.

A: Ccleaner and AVG are dangerous programs. If these two products have an
"undo" option, then use it.
If System Restore is enabled, rollback to before you did all these
manipulations.
Otherwise, I suggest to do a
Repair Install of Windows 10 with an In-place Upgrade
to try and stabilize the state of Windows.

You might think there aren't many ways to reduce the fat content in food and that you'll have to give up some of your favorite fattening foods. With a little creativity however, you can still enjoy these gluttonous dishes. All it takes is making a few mindful substitutions and you'll hardly notice the difference between these variations and your traditional recipes. Try these seven ways to reduce the fat content in food.
One of the easiest ways to reduce the fat content in food is choosing a leaner cut of meat. Do you really need to make those tacos with ground beef? Could you substitute with lean ground turkey instead? Choosing leaner cuts of meat can easily slash hundreds of saturated fat calories that will only contribute to heart disease and weight gain. If you're worried these cuts will be too dry, try buying items like chicken breasts with the bone still in to maintain moisture and flavor.
Frying is one of the top reasons your food has a ton of fat in it. There are many cooking methods that use far less oil and fat. Baking is a great substitute for frying, as are roasting, grilling, and steaming. Low-fat cooking techniques can definitely reduce the fat content of some of your favorite dishes.
If you think you can't eat lasagna or stuffed shells anymore, think again. Using reduced or low-fat dairy products is a great solution to high-fat dishes that require a lot of cream of cheese. You can also substitute milk for heavy whipping cream if a recipe calls for it!
Another great way to lower the fat content of your dishes is to skip the meat all together! Vegetarian and vegan dishes often have much less saturated fat than their meat counterparts. It's as simple as grilling a veggie burger instead of a beef burger or throwing in loads of mushrooms and peppers into your tomato sauce instead of meatballs. There are a ton of food blogs and sites devoted to vegetarian recipes. A 20 minute cruise through Pinterest and you'll have dozens of recipe ideas.
You might think you're only using a drizzle of oil when you make dinner each night but studies show that most people tend to over-pour fats and other oils. In other words, they might think they're only using a tablespoon but they could be using double or triple that amount! Get into a habit of measuring cooking oils and fats. I like to use oils like coconut or red palm that are solid at room temperature. This really forces you to use a spoon and be more mindful of how much oil you're using for a dish.
If you're like me, you love homemade salad dressings. Homemade salad dressings not only taste better, but are better for you! Most recipes call for way too much oil. You can easily replace up to half the oil content in a dressing with a mixture of water and vinegar/lemon juice. Doing so can easily cut the calories of your dressing by 50%.
Sometimes after a long day at work, all you want to do is come home and enjoy a sumptuous meal without worrying about its calorie or fat content. Pureed vegetable soups are the perfect solution for days like this! There are many recipes that don't use any cream or added fat. Simply pureeing the soup creates a warm and comforting texture that tastes super creamy. If you're pressed for time, try making pureed soups on the weekend, then freezing individual portions to eat throughout the week.
You can still make delicious food without a ton of fat! All it takes is a few swaps and you'll hardly notice the difference with these new, healthier versions. What are some of your favorite ways to cut the fat content of a meal?
