Q: Improving computational speed of Zonal Statistics on 150gb+ of raster tiles in R (terra package and vrt) I'm working in R - I have a directory of raster (.tif) tiles at 60cm resolution, downloaded from Google Earth Engine (NAIP 2018 NDVI). (I am running my analysis on pc rather than in Google Earth Engine due to human subjects requirements of my polygon data.) The 52 tiles are each 1.2-3.8GB in size. I also have 982 polygons, for which I'm trying to calculate the zonal means from these rasters. My code (below) uses the terra package, and instead of mosaic-ing the tiles into a very large singular raster, I've chosen to create a VRT (virtual raster) file.
I am running this code on a Xeon Gold 6134 @ 3.2GHZ and have 128GB of ram. No matter what I set my terraOptions() to, R doesn't even come close to using a significant proportion of my processor or ram potential.
With this code, all 982 polygons will take 11.8 days to run. I would GREATLY appreciate if anyone could point me at specific tricks/tools that I may not have already tried (e.g., I've tried working with all the terraOptions, I've tried the raster package and the exact_extract package. The exact_extract() function won't work for me as I am using a SpatRaster/VRT and a sf polygon object as inputs - again to avoid mosaic-ing a very large singular raster.)
Thank you. (I apologize that I cannot share data, as its either too large or human subjects related...) Here is the un-looped code:
Edit: 52 tiles of 1.2-3.8GB EACH. My original quote of 150GB total directory size was incorrect as this was the compressed size in ArcGIS.
library(terra)

c <- "path/to directory of raster tiles"
v <- "path/new.vrt" # name of virtual raster

ras_lst <- list.files(c, full.names=T, pattern=".tif$")

terra::vrt(ras_lst, v, overwrite = T)

ras <- rast(v)

w <- vect("path to polygon shapefile")
w2 <- terra::project(w, terra::crs(ras)) # transform proj to same as raster tiles

e2 <-  terra::extract(ras, w2, fun="mean")

e2 # zonal mean value for 1 polygon (of 982)

show(ras) produces:

Digital media open up lots of possibilities for disseminating research. They can enhance traditional research outputs, for example by adding video clips to journal articles or delivering reports as pdf files. Or they can be used to create new kinds of research outputs, such as research blogs, podcasts and social media feeds.
Engage with a wider range of audiences, thereby creating wider impacts.
Make dissemination an ongoing process that takes place throughout a project, rather than something done at the end.
Create opportunities for dialogue with audiences before, during and after a project, using the interactive features of social media.
Involve young people as active participants in dissemination.
Digital media dissemination can take as much (or even more) time and effort as traditional methods.
Simply making outputs available online doesn't mean that people will engage with them. Publicising and profiling your work to your target audiences is crucial.
Your target audience may not have access to digital media. Factors such as institutional firewalls, age, socio-economic status and geographical location can be restrictive.
For some studies, sharing outputs publicly online may not be appropriate, e.g. sensitive topics, vulnerable participants, or research with a discrete or limited audience.
Planning your digital dissemination carefully at the outset is therefore advisable.

List of Japanese girl > Mio Futaba(双葉みお)
双葉みお | Mio Futaba
It is impossible to set Mio as a mother, but it doesn't matter. There is a spectacular view of the royal road while changing positions naked. I'm thrilled to play the role of Mio's mother. It's been a long time since it was the best. Did you think that you were retiring at one point, but have you participated more recently? Originally from Miss Soap in Yoshiwara, she is very good at fetish tech. I want you to hold me in my mouth. Her skin is well maintained and she is a really beautiful actress. The Kikumon at 69 (69 (six nine)) is also beautiful. It is a gem that comes out. The body that seems to be soft with a super erotic face is the highest level. It is a pity that the vaginal cum shot sperm ♪♪ does not look real. The project isn't bad, but I can't bring in enough minor actors to match the setting, and Mio is too young. Mio's coveted body is becoming more and more mature, giving the impression that it is just like an onnazakari instrument. The only thing I don't understand is the pubic hair that is still over-shaved. In the future, in order to play an active role in mature women, I sincerely hope that the original thin pubic hair will be restored to the vulva and that the annoyance of the female body will be multiplied. It's an AV to set up like this, Mio-chan's mother role is also a son's classmate, the age is unreasonable, how old is the classmate? If you're young, you'll be able to launch faster, and you'll probably end up with three consecutive shots, but it's full of tsukkomi. Click here for more information on Mio Futaba

WHERE NEW IDEAS TAKE SHAPE AND WHERE EXPERIMENTATION TURNS INTO SUCCESS
Design has always been one of the main strategic levers with which GD DORIGO displays its ability to distinguish itself in the world of manufacturers of internal doors. It all begins in a "Made in Italy laboratory" where new ideas take shape and construction experiments are carried out. From here they are transformed into successful doors like those developed with the contribution of leading designers such as GIUGIARO. Interaction with designers of international standing has consolidated the company's leaning towards taste and style, which over time have become the fundamental cornerstones for the continuous development of the range. Technology and know-how regarding materials completes the picture and ensures the lab has a fundamental role to play in subsequent serial production processes.
Like many Italian companies that were created and developed during the second half of the twentieth century, the family name of the founding entrepreneurs is also the company name. It's an aspect that, over time, has consolidated the stated and perceived value of an entity that knows how to lead markets. It's an identity that has become consolidated with the use of the brand, which can be seen on every product and every aspect that accompanies the product around the world, confirming the value of that sign and providing a reminder of a name that has become recognised in its specific sector. A recent slight restyling has further reinforced its marketing power and modernised the corporate identity and corporate communication. The reputation of the brand speaks for itself with over forty years on the market and with an infinite number of doors that open and close the way to domestic and professional spaces around the world on a daily basis.
MADE IN ITALY AMBASSADORS
The value and recognition of GD DORIGO as a representative of Made in Italy translates into specific development and commercial promotion policies used in markets across the world.
It's a direction that has progressively characterised the company in recent years, in aiming to compete on a wider scale and capitalise on the experience and quality that makes a real difference in many countries. Interpretation, or rather globalisation, is always interpreted as being a key strategy for succeeding and understanding how to become active and significant protagonists in target countries.
A great deal of attention is dedicated to personalising products for single countries and different cultures, while still respecting the quality of Italian construction. The managers who follow each single market act as a filter between the culture of that country and the company. This also permits a focussed and customised approach.

Q: How to structure a React Container and Component to handle a form's lifecycle? I would like some experienced advise on how to organize my container and component.

*

*My React Container is InvitePage

*My React Component is InviteForm

My question is, when the user submits the form in the React.Component InviteForm, where should I have the handleSubmit function? In the container or the component?
Also, after handleSubmit, where should I have the code that updates the view to show the user a success UI - example: Success! Your invites hav been sent.
What's the best practice to solve the above react form-redux lifecycle in React?

A: Main pattern in react (and even more important in rect-redux) is that user actions do not result directly in actions that change user interface. User actions result in actions that change state. Once the state is changed all components that use that part of state get rerendered, and they only have to take care to correctly render reflecting the state.
How this applies to this part of your question: "Also, after handleSubmit, where should I have the code that updates the view to show the user a success UI - example: Success! Your invites hav been sent." ?
The answer is you do not need part of code that updates view to display "Success" message. You need part of code that will modify part of the state (in redux action creators and reducers) that reflects successful invitation like state.invitationSuccess: true.
Your components will then be responsible to display success message if this part of the state is true.
As for who should be handling submission, both approaches could be used, one where form component handles the submission (probably by dispatching action), is simpler. One where container handles the submission could be more flexible in cases where you would use same form to edit more than one  entity.

Q: What's algorithm used to solve Linear Diophantine equation: ax + by = c I'm looking for integers solution here. I know it has infinitely many solution derived from the first pair solution and gcd(a,b)|c. However, how could we find the first pair of solution? Is there any algorithm to solve this problem?
Thanks,
Chan

A: Note that there isn't always a solution. In fact, there's only a solution if c is a multiple of gcd(a, b).
That said, you can use the extended euclidean algorithm for this.
Here's a C++ function that implements it, assuming c = gcd(a, b). I prefer to use the recursive algorithm:
function extended_gcd(a, b)
    if a mod b = 0
        return {0, 1}
    else
        {x, y} := extended_gcd(b, a mod b)
        return {y, x-(y*(a div b))}

int ExtendedGcd(int a, int b, int &x, int &y)
{
    if (a % b == 0)
    {
        x = 0;
        y = 1;
        return b;
    }

    int newx, newy;
    int ret = ExtendedGcd(b, a % b, newx, newy);

    x = newy;
    y = newx - newy * (a / b);
    return ret;
}

Now if you have c = k*gcd(a, b) with k > 0, the equation becomes:
ax + by = k*gcd(a, b) (1)
(a / k)x + (b / k)y = gcd(a, b) (2)

So just find your solution for (2), or alternatively find the solution for (1) and multiply x and y by k.

The Mean Squared Terrors Win the UBC Intramural Futsal Championship!
mstgroup.jpg
Back (L to R): David, Danny, Jonathan S.; Front (L to R): Joe, Matías, Jonathan A.
The Mean Squared Terrors have been proudly flying the Statistics flag in UBC's indoor and outdoor soccer leagues for the past 4 years. After many seasons of heartbreak and disappointment in which the Terrors failed to progress through a play-off round, this year they won the UBC indoor league for the first time.
The line-up of Daniel Dinsdale, David Kepplinger, Joe Watson, Jonathan (Pep) Agyeman, Jonathan Steif, and Matías Salibián-Barrera reached the final on the back of solid defensive strategies and overwhelming offensive plays, achieving a seasonal goal difference of over +40. Although the Terrors looked destined to miss out on the trophy after falling 3-7 behind in the final with only 10 of the 40 minutes of play remaining, the Terrors rallied back to tie the game 7-7 by the time the final whistle blew. Extra time saw David Kepplinger calmly end the sudden death period, with a sniper shot that pierced through Geology's defensive line and goalie—launching the Terrors to victory.
We would like to thank everyone who has ever played for the Terrors and hope we can defend our title next season, which starts in September 2018! Everyone in the department is welcome to join (students, staff, faculty), no matter your skill level. Go Terrors!

Morphology means the study of the structure of words.
Morpheme means the smallest unit of a word. For instance, BOOK is a morpheme as there is no more element attached to it and in BOOKISH , BOOK is a morpheme and ISH is another morpheme as it modifies the meaning of BOOK. ATTEND+ANT = 2 morphemes. UN+JUST+IFI+ABLE = 4 morphemes. But IMPORTANT - 1 morpheme as it is not the same as IM+POSSIBLE (2 morphemes).
PHONEME is the smallest unit of sound in a word. Each of the phonetic notations is a phoneme. You may refer to the English Pronouncing Dictionary for aquintaining yourself with phonemes. Here we are concerned with phonetic symbols only and not the alphabets in a word. BOOK has four letters , one morpheme and two phonemes. /bu/ and /k/. The study of such sounds in a language is PHONOLOGY.

Peter Grabosky holds a Ph.D. in Political Science from Northwestern University, and has written extensively on criminal justice and public policy. His general interests are in computer crime, policing, and regulatory failure. Peter is interested specifically in how non-governmental institutions may be harnessed in furtherance of public policy. Peter is a former Fellow of the Academy of the Social Sciences in Australia, and an Honorary Fellow of the Academy of Experimental Criminology, He was the 2006 winner of the Sellin-Glueck Award of the American Society of Criminology for contributions to comparative and international criminology, and the 2011 recipient of the Prix Hermann Mannheim, awarded by the International Centre of Comparative Criminology at the University of Montreal. In 2012 the (US) National White Collar Crime Center and the White Collar Crime Research Consortium awarded him the Gilbert Geis Lifetime Achievement Award in recognition of outstanding professional contributions in the area of white collar crime. He is a past president of the Australian and New Zealand Society of Criminology, a founding member and former Vice President of the Asian Criminological Society.
In 1983, Peter moved to the Australian Institute of Criminology (AIC), where, with the exception of a two-year secondment to The Australian National University, he spent the next 18½ years. At the AIC, Peter served as Director of Research for the National Committee on Violence, whose report, 'Violence: Directions for Australia', provided a cross-sectoral, whole-of-society roadmap for the prevention and control of violence in Australia. Peter's later years at the AIC saw him address the newly-emerging field of computer-related crime. Written in collaboration with Russell Smith, Peter's books on the subject contributed to the development of policy in this field, and have received international recognition.
Peter's recent books include: 'States and Peoples in Conflict' (with Stohl and Lichbach) (Routledge 2017) 'Cybercrime' (Oxford University Pres 2016) 'Crime and Terrorism' (with Stohl) (Sage Publications 2010) 'Lengthening the Arm of the Law' (with Ayling and Shearing) (Cambridge University Press 2009); 'Electronic Crime' (Pearson Prentice Hall 2007); and 'Cyber Criminals on Trial' (with Smith and Urbas) (Cambridge University Press 2004). The latter book won the Distinguished Book Award of American Society of Criminology's Division of International Criminology.
Peter rose to become Deputy Director of the AIC before joining the Regulatory Institutions Network (RegNet) in the Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies (RSPAS) at The Australian National University, in 2001. As a Professor at RegNet, he was Co-Director (with Clifford Shearing) of Security 21: International Centre for Security and Justice. The Centre's research focused on various means of enhancing the capacity of police organisations, while ensuring equity, accountability and cost-effectiveness in the delivery of police services.
Over the course of his career, Peter has held a number of visiting appointments, including Russell Sage Fellow in Law and Social Science at Yale Law School (1976-78); Visiting Professor at Chuo University (1993;2008); Visiting Expert for the United Nations Asia and Far East Institute for the Prevention of Crime and the Treatment of Offenders (UNAFEI) (1995; 1998); Visiting Professor at the People's Public Security University of China (1996; 2006; 2014), Dae H. Chang International Visiting Scholar, School of Criminal Justice, Michigan State University, (2011); and Simon Visiting Professor, School of Law, University of Manchester, (2011).
Peter was a Rapporteur on the Expert Working Group on Crimes Related to the Computer Network at the Tenth United Nations Congress on the Prevention of Crime and the Treatment of Offenders, Vienna (2000). From 1998 to 2002, Peter was President of the Australian and New Zealand Society of Criminology. A founding member of the of the Campbell Collaboration Crime and Justice Steering Group, he was co-Chair 2007-2010.

Philippines books all-time high $10.5B net FDI inflow, $8B target breached
The Philippines booked a record foreign direct investments (FDIs) inflow last year after bouncing back strongly from a recession caused by the global health crisis.
Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas Governor Benjamin Diokno said the net FDI inflow jumped by 54.2 percent to hit a record high of $10.5 billion in 2021 from $6.8 billion in 2020.
This eclipsed the previous all-time high of $10.3 billion recorded in 2017 as well as the $8 billion target set by the central bank's Monetary Board for 2021.
"The growth in FDI reflected continued positive foreign investor sentiment on the country amid expectations of a rebound in domestic economic activity and declining COVID-19 reported cases, as well as the strengthening of the global economy," Diokno said.
Data showed non-residents' net investments in debt instruments jumped by 80.4 percent to $7.53 billion as foreign companies injected more funds to their affiliates in the country, while reinvestment of earnings increased by 34.7 percent to $1.27 billion.
Equity capital placements from Singapore, Japan, United States, and the Netherlands stood at $2.12 billion, while withdrawals inched up by 1.8 percent to $399 million.
For December alone, the country's net FDI inflow jumped by 59 percent to $1.07 billion from $671 million in the same month last year.
The central bank forecasts a net FDI inflow of $8.5 billion for this year.

Q: Why is the U1 sharing dialog so unhelpful? On the web, it is very easy to share a folder from Ubuntu One with another user (more>share  folder and enter email address). However, on the desktop right-clicking a folder, selecting Ubuntu One > Share brings up a window that looks like this:

It is utterly unhelpful, not even providing a field to enter an email address.
Can anyone else make sense of this?

A: It is implemented as per the design which was made for it. There is an open bug at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntuone-client-gnome/+bug/720194 about this.


myTHDHR Login: Home Depot permits its employees to access the information they need, through an online portal named as myTHDHR.

Whether you are developing conceptual high-level diagrams or creating detailed schematic drawings, components represent the basic entities of your design. How much time are your spending creating detailed components and mapping the appropriate models and attributes? And most importantly, how are you currently managing and maintaining those components? We will reveal 3 elements you need to consider when creating electrical components that will make your design development cycle successful.
Ideally, we all want to manage components in a centralized location to ensure that all team members have access to a common library source. SOLIDWORKS Electrical libraries is the heart of collaboration, using a SQL database to store information applied to your electrical projects. The database of parts, libraries and catalogs can be shared by users and the greatest benefit is that now teams can work concurrently to reduce development time.
Usually libraries contain data that has been developed over years, and we are always hesitant to migrate to other tools fearing data loss. SOLIDWORKS Electrical provides symbol importer tool which is free and easy to use. It allows DXF and DWG files to be imported. Information imported can range from lines and text to intelligent attributes, and all of the symbol components and their attributes will be included so you can pick up where you left off!
That covers the 3 elements to consider when creating electrical components. We would like to hear from you if you have additional recommendations or suggestions!
This entry was posted in blog, Electrical, Electrical Design, GoEngineer, Quick Tips, SolidWorks CAD and tagged design, DWG, DXF, engineering, event, goengineer, import tools, library, schematic drawings, SolidWorks, SolidWorks Electrical on July 9, 2015 by Injy Gadalla.
Injy is an Applications Engineer in San Diego. She brings over 13 years of experience in applications and design. In her prior experience, she was responsible for managing all aspects of technical content and engineering from concept to design. Her electrical design background includes hardware design where she performed power requirements analysis for smart grid meters, video encoders and modem products. Injy holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering from University of California San Diego (UCSD).
I would like to read your blog that is such an informative. You shared an important knowledge about electrical components which is the popular in engineering world. Thanks for sharing and continue to share such kind of knowledge with us.
Thank you for your comment and for the feedback.
That was a helpful documentation. However am not a tech guy and my solidworks electrical 15 came with a lot of troubles that is frustrating me to the core. I would appreciate if you can help me out.
First, the library that unarchives after fresh installation that should have over 5000 manufacturer parts just have 60 and also incomplete symbols etc.
Second, I can't create a new symbol using the new symbol command in symbol manager, it just disappears and after filtering/searching it still isn't there. But I can create symbol by duplicating an existing one.
Third, after using the "solidworks cabinet layout" command under "process" to create the 3D assembly of the line diagram using any manufacturer part. During routing the error "invalid connection point" and "missing connection point" shows, whereas these points are right there looking at me.
Four, when I try creating an electrical component, after defining the left, right, top, and bottom faces and creating the mate references and creating point by reference. After choosing the manufacturer part and terminal number with corresponding sketch point, it still doesn't create these connection points even though it doesn't show any errors.
Five, the usual blue icon that turns green on successful connection point creation doesn't even appear when am trying to create an electrical component.
Thanks for reading my long list of problems. Please I would appreciate any form of help.

Q: Proof of Gibbs' inequality There is one step in this proof that I don't understand.
$$-\sum\limits_{i\in I} q_i+\sum\limits_{i\in I} p_i \geq 0$$
I get that $\sum\limits_{i\in I} p_i=1$, but what about the another term? Why is $\sum\limits_{i\in I} q_i \leq 1$?

A: $p,q$ are both probability distributions over a set of $n$ elements $[n]=\{1,\dots,n\}$, so
$$
\sum_{i=1}^n q_i = 1, \qquad 0\leq q_i \leq 1\ \forall i\in [n]
$$
and, for all $S\subseteq [n]$, this implies
$$
0 \leq \sum_{i\in S} q_i \leq \sum_{i=1}^n q_i = 1. \tag{1}
$$
(Same thing for $p$). The inequality can be strict if you choose $S$ such that $[n]\setminus S$ contains elements for which $q_i > 0$ (so that the sum $\sum_{i\in S} q_i$ is "missing" non-zero elements: indeed, for any $S\subseteq [n]$,
$$
 1= \sum_{i=1}^n q_i = \underbrace{\sum_{i\in S} q_i}_{\geq 0}+\underbrace{\sum_{i\in [n]\setminus S} q_i}_{\geq 0} \tag{2}
$$
so if $\sum_{i\in [n]\setminus S} q_i > 0$ then $\sum_{i\in S} q_i < 1$. (Same thing for $p$, again.)
In the proof, the "set $S$" is chosen to be the support of $p$, namely the set
$$
I\stackrel{\rm def}{=} \{ i \in [n] : p_i > 0 \}. \tag{3}
$$
This immediately guarantees that $\sum_{i\in I} p_i = 1$ by the above decomposition (2), since by definition of $I$ we have $\sum_{i\in [n]\setminus I} p_i = 0$. However, we are not guaranteed that $\sum_{i\in [n]\setminus I} q_i = 0$ (there is no a priori relation between $I$ and $q$), so we can only apply (1) and say that $0 \leq \sum_{i\in I} q_i \leq 1$.

An example, for $n=3$ (one could easily get one for $n=2$, but it is less 'striking' in my opinion): take
$$p = (1/2,1/2,0), \qquad q=(1/2,0,1/2).$$ Then $I=\{1,2\}$, since $p_1,p_2 > 0$ but $p_3 = 0$, and we have $\sum_{i\in I} p_i = 1$. However, $$\sum_{i\in I} q_i = q_1+q_2 = 1/2+0 = 1/2 < 1$$ as we are missing $q_3$ in the sum.


You would surely find out that remodeling is just the tip of the ice berg whether you are trying to give your home or condo a whole new look. Time and again, finding the best renovation companies has proven to be a tailback due to their considerably huge numbers. Among all the other vital investments one could make after years is choosing to renovate a home and it would be wise to weigh all the options right. It would wise to contemplate the following if you are hoping to settle for nothing but the best renovation company.
Firstly, people visualize their homes as conspicuous and to make such visions come true they need the services of remodeling firms but they often lack any clue about where to start. It would be best to go for the fully certified and insured companies. Nobody, certainly wants the safety of his or her dwelling place resting in the hands of a remodeling contractor who would not be held responsible in case of any damage. Pulling through from the loss of a property can be a huge hurdle but the safety of your property can be guaranteed when working with a licensed remodeling company.
Aside from that, cost is a vital facet that ought not to be overlooked at any point in time. Spending more than the expected cash does not have to be an option since there are various service provider selling their home remodeling services at much lesser prices. Prior to settling for any remodeling company, starting by knowing exactly how much your financial plan states would be a wise idea.
The achievements of a remodeling company prove so much when it comes to such handy projects. Most of the renovation companies are distinguished by the accomplishment record that they hold. The reasonable move to make would be to pick a remodeling firm with a perfect service record and one with skilled staff. By dwelling further into the search you would stand better odds of identifying the flaws and the strong suits of a remodeling company.
In summary, the best way of verifying the experiences of a remodeling company is through the reviews and recommendations. The online media has provided numerous platforms where people can air their views without any hustle. It would be best to seek reference from past clients of various remodeling companies. It would be best to watch out for any negative remark just to make the best choice in the end. Surely taking the aspects illustrated above into contemplation, you would certainly spare yourself hours of headaches and thousands of cash.


As a business leader, you must pay close attention to the tools and technologies used by your competitors, and constantly reinvest in your company to remain competitive. My business, Whayne Supply Co., has 14 locations throughout Kentucky; we are proud to employ more than 1,000 Kentuckians and support our local communities.
Because we live and work every day in communities all across our commonwealth, my employees and I understand the needs and challenges our communities face. We know that cities and counties face a lot of the same issues that we do in private business. We compete in various markets, and cities and counties compete with other localities. We must invest in our company to compete and grow, and our localities must do the very same to remain competitive, attract talent, create jobs and grow their economies.
Economic development depends now more than ever on quality of life and quality of place. People seek employment and opportunities in communities where they want to live and conduct business.
So Kentucky communities must ask a business-oriented question: What economic development tools do you need to compete in the 21st century economy?
Citizens of Kentucky do not have the basic voting right that is present in 37 other states — the right to vote on whether to invest in their communities through the funding of projects with an optional, limited-purpose, temporary local sales tax. These capital projects, such as roads, sidewalks and parks, improve the quality of life in our communities and are vital for our cities and counties to stay competitive nationally.
In August, Mayor Mick Cornett of Oklahoma City spoke at the Leadership Louisville luncheon about how local option has literally transformed his community — from one that was losing jobs and people to one that is growing and vibrant and attracting new people. The citizens of Oklahoma City — a solidly red, conservative city — have chosen to invest $2 billion in capital projects and infrastructure, which was followed by $5 billion in private investment.
The story of Oklahoma City's renaissance includes construction of major, transformative projects such as an Olympic rowing facility and the revival of an old warehouse district into a thriving entertainment destination. The voters chose to invest in their city, and the private development followed exponentially, creating new jobs and a magnet for more growth.
LIFT — Local Investments for Transformation — is a tool that would allow Kentucky communities to compete on a level playing field with other municipalities by allowing local voters to decide on funding important community projects. People would vote for up to one penny additional sales tax to fund a project or set of projects for their community. Voters would know the specific projects, the specific cost, and the amount and duration of the sales tax on the ballot. The tax would go away once the funding is complete.
Every Kentucky community has capital projects they want and need, from a new YMCA facility in Bardstown to a new firehouse in Princeton to improved parks in Louisville, but most have few dollars for capital projects due to rising pension expenses and other fixed budget restraints.
LIFT can solve that problem — through one powerful penny and the vote of the people.
This is democracy in action because citizens, not the politicians, vote on particular proposals. They can vote "yes"— as Carroll, Iowa, did recently to build a new aquatic center, bringing visitors, investment and new recreational opportunities to their community. Or they can vote "no"— as the Atlanta area did recently on a massive regional transportation proposal.
To allow Kentuckians this same right, we must first amend the Kentucky Constitution. State Senate and House members must vote to put the question of the local option on a statewide referendum. We are calling on the General Assembly to act this session so Kentuckians can vote on whether to amend the constitution in November 2014.
If the constitutional amendment is approved, cities and counties could then decide to bring a local referendum to their voters to fund specific projects in their communities. The local citizens would vote "yes" or "no" and make the final decision on any project, and we would experience true government by the people and for the people.
Please call your legislators in Frankfort and tell them that Kentuckians deserve the right to control their own future, and we need LIFT to make it happen. The toll-free line to leave a message for your senator or representative is (800) 372-7181.
Monty Boyd, of Louisville, is president of Whayne Supply Co.

President Donald Trump said he knew very little about QAnon other than that supporters of the conspiracy theory were "very much against pedophilia" in and NBC News townhall on Thursday night.
After moderator Savannah Guthrie described QAnon as believers that a pedophile ring run by Democrats is in charge of the U.S. government, she then asked the president to disavow the theory.
Trump refused to do so.
He said, "I know nothing about QAnon. I know very little. You told me but what you tell me doesn't necessarily make it fact. I hate to say that."
"I denounce white supremacy," Pres. Trump tells @SavannahGuthrie at #TrumpTownHall. pic.twitter.com/kGHxt94JDf

"I know nothing about it. I do know they are very much against pedophilia, they fight it very hard. But I know nothing about it," Trump added.
Guthrie pushed further by quoting Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Nebraska) and his comments on the absurdity of QAnon. The senator once said the conspiracy theory is "nuts" and "real leaders call conspiracy theories conspiracy theories."

The US Army offers this distinction to all officers from friendly countries who attended a course in the college after they become army chief in their respective armies. General Singh passed out from the college in 2000-01.
Incidentally, the announcement from the army comes on a day when the Parliament was rocked by a Wikileaks revelation in which US diplomats were shown cash by Congress workers allegedly to win over supports of few Parliament members during a trust vote in 2008.
In the last decade and half, New Delhi gradually shifted its strategic position going closer to the US aide and allowing Washington to be an important player in the Indian military space.

Galaxy Note 8 Scores Highest-Ever Image Quality Points
HOME News ICT
Excellent A+
By Cho Jin-young
The Galaxy Note 8 earned the highest-ever grade of "Excellent A+" in an image quality evaluation by DisplayMate.
The Galaxy Note 8 earned the highest-ever grade of "Excellent A+" by setting a new record an image quality evaluation by DisplayMate, a global display-specialized organization.
According to evaluation results released by DisplayMate on August 28, the Galaxy Note 8 (6.3-inch) was recorded as a monumental product which realized maximum brightness of 1,240cd/㎡ for the first time among smartphones. Its brightness is 22% higher than 1,020cd/㎡ of the latest smartphone Galaxy S8 launched in April this year. 1,240cd/㎡ refers to the brightness of 1,240 candles lit at the same time in a box one meter long and one meter wide.
Smartphones are often used outdoors in comparison to other IT products, so outdoor visibility is crucial as people watch smartphone screens under bright sunlight.
Galaxy Note 8 is also the first notebook series to have a 3K QHD + (2960x1440) resolution. The resolution is higher than 2.5K QHD (2560x1440) which is the maximum resolution of existing notebook series.
The Galaxy Note 8 realized 1,240cd/㎡ brightness, a perfectly black screen and an infinite contrast ratio, and enjoys latest digital cinema international color standard DCI-P3 (digital cinema initiatives-P3) and so was the best smartphone in the world to watch high-quality movies and computer graphics, DisplayMate explained. In particular, Galaxy Note 8 achieved the highest level of a 112% color reproduction rate based on DCI-P3.
The Galaxy Note 8 is the first one of the note series to implement a dual-edge full-screen flexible OLED, which minimizes its bezel and enhances the unity of display and smartphone. Moreover, corner rounding technology was applied to the edges of the display, softly curving the rectangular 90-degree edges. With a full-screen with edges, the overall design sensibility of the display was upgraded, and even though the screen is enlarged, a grip of the device feels better.
"A new larger 6.3-inch full screen display that fills almost the entire front face of the Galaxy Note8 from edge-to-edge. Its display is 20% larger in screen area than the Galaxy S8 and 14% larger than previous Galaxy Note displays," DisplayMate said.
In particular, according to DisplayMate, the display also has a new form factor with a taller height to width aspect ratio of 18.5: 9 which makes the device better for movie viewing, using multi-windows and checking and reading various notification information. In addition, the adoption of night mode improvement such as blue light reduction technology is expected to give more satisfaction to consumers.
On the other hand, the Galaxy Note 8 was certified by the UHD Alliance for Mobile HDR Premium which allows it to play all of the latest content produced for 4K UHD Premium TVs. HDR (High Dynamic Range) is a high-definition image technology that improves image quality by expressing colors more abundantly and expresses bright and dark parts of images more finely.

Students Voting to Win a Free High School Prom
South Whitley, IN, February 14, 2010 --(PR.com)-- High school students are doing more than homework on school computers these days. Look closely and you may see juniors and seniors at thousands of schools nationwide voting online in hopes of winning a free prom for their school in Stumps Proms Across America Contest.
This is the second year that Stumps Prom & Party has run the contest - www.stumpsparty.com/freeprom. Fifty winning schools, one from each of the 50 states, will each receive a $1,000 Stumps gift certificate. Over $65,000 in prizes will be awarded including three grand prizes. A complete high school prom will go to the top vote getters which include a $5,000 Stumps gift certificate, DJ expenses paid up to $1,000 and royalty supplies for the entire prom court.
With 30 days to go, over 3,000,000 votes have been tallied for competing schools. "Students have come up with creative ways to get the word out about voting to classmates and rally the community to help their school win," notes Keith Bansemer, Director of Internet Marketing at Stumps. "Through web searches, Facebook and Twitter, we're hearing daily about the unique strategies schools are using to get the most votes."
Some of the more creative vote gathering ideas include contacting local newspapers. The Norwich Bulletin is printing articles tracking voting results of thirteen Connecticut schools where East Hampton High School is leading.
Ripley Central High School in New York has set up voting sessions in the computer lab according to posts placed on the Stumps Facebook Fan page by parents and students.
Texas schools Alief Hastings and Alief Taylor in Houston have raced up to the top of the vote leader board in just a couple of weeks. Taylor's principal tells students daily in the hall to vote when they can rallying the Lions to earn bragging rights by defeating the cross-town rival Bears. Hastings' principal has countered with public address announcements four times a day.
Even one of last year's winners, Buckhannon-Upshur High School, is making a run at voting again by involving local radio, television and print media. This year's competition is a bit tough in West Virginia with six schools ranking ahead of the Buccaneers and Preston High School in Kingwood in the lead.
"Add in newsletters mailed to parents, print flyers taped to computers, emails sent to alumni and students typing each other texts and you have whole communities involved in trying to win a free prom for their school," says Bansemer. Last week, the Stumps web site registered over 1,200,000 contest votes. Voting ends March 15, 2010 with all prizes awarded by the end of the month.

The Internet Buzz is incredibly favorable, the show really does get rave reviews.
Internet Buzz: Jersey Boys
This was the most wonderful show I have ever seen while in Vegas! this show takes you an 60's era with songs like sherry, walk like a man, big girls don't cry.
I saw Jersey Boys at the Palazzo last week and it was one of the highlights of my trip. I'd heard about musical years ago because my college a cappella group and other theater friends always raved about it, so I went in with high expectations. The show did not disappoint: it was incredibly well-done and the cast did a fantastic job!
I've always been a fan of the high pitched, oldies music and musicals in general. I could listen to it for hours. We were really lucky because the guy who played Frankie Valli that night was the headliner, the one you wanted to see. And seriously, he was AMAZING!!!! I fell in love with his voice then and there! What a talent! Simply amazing!
I'll be honest. I didn't know much about Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons but as soon as they started performing all of their timeless hits like "Big Girls Don't Cry" and "December 1963 (Oh What a Night)" I was like, "Oh! So they sang these songs!" The entire production captivated me from beginning to end.
I hate Musicals, Ick, yuck, get me out of here, Phantom? Shoot me! Hair? Where's my arsenic pills?...but Jersey Boys was awesome!!
If you're going to watch the show, the best seats are definitely in the middle Orchestra section. But you don't want to be TOO close to the stage because you won't be able to see anything.
If you're not a fan of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons by now (honestly, what's wrong with you?) you will be after this show. The epic rises and falls of the iconic group will make you laugh, tear up, and sing along. Jersey dialogue (& language) makes it a little iffy for kids, but adults will love the honesty & sarcastic humor.
An amazing show. I'm still singing the tunes a week later. Probably the best show on the strip.

Mind-controlled Prosthetic Arm Moves Individual Fingers
Physicians and biomedical engineers from Johns Hopkins report what they believe is the first successful effort to wiggle fingers individually and independently of each other using a mind-controlled artificial arm to control the movement.
The proof-of-concept feat represents a potential advance in technologies to restore refined hand function to those who have lost arms to injury or disease, the researchers say. The young man on whom the experiment was performed was not missing an arm or hand, but he was outfitted with a device that essentially took advantage of a brain-mapping procedure to bypass control of his own arm and hand.
Says senior author Nathan Crone, M.D., professor of neurology at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine:
"We believe this is the first time a person using a mind-controlled prosthesis has immediately performed individual digit movements without extensive training. This technology goes beyond available prostheses, in which the artificial digits, or fingers, moved as a single unit to make a grabbing motion, like one used to grip a tennis ball."
For the experiment, the research team recruited a young man with epilepsy already scheduled to undergo brain mapping at The Johns Hopkins Hospital's Epilepsy Monitoring Unit to pinpoint the origin of his seizures.
While brain recordings were made using electrodes surgically implanted for clinical reasons, the signals also control a modular prosthetic limb developed by the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory.
Mapping and Programming
Prior to connecting the prosthetic limb, the researchers mapped and tracked the specific parts of the subject's brain responsible for moving each finger, then programmed the prosthesis to move the corresponding finger.
First, the patient's neurosurgeon placed an array of 128 electrode sensors—all on a single rectangular sheet of film the size of a credit card—on the part of the man's brain that normally controls hand and arm movements. Each sensor measured a circle of brain tissue 1 millimeter in diameter.
The computer program the Johns Hopkins team developed had the man move individual fingers on command and recorded which parts of the brain the "lit up" when each sensor detected an electric signal.
In addition to collecting data on the parts of brain involved in motor movement, the researchers measured electrical brain activity involved in tactile sensation.
To do this, the subject was outfitted with a glove with small, vibrating buzzers in the fingertips, which went off individually in each finger. The researchers measured the resulting electrical activity in the brain for each finger connection.
Precision Control is Key
After the motor and sensory data were collected, the researchers programmed the prosthetic arm to move corresponding fingers based on which part of the brain was active.
The researchers turned on the prosthetic arm, which was wired to the patient through the brain electrodes, and asked the subject to "think" about individually moving thumb, index, middle, ring and pinkie fingers. The electrical activity generated in the brain moved the fingers.
"The electrodes used to measure brain activity in this study gave us better resolution of a large region of cortex than anything we've used before and allowed for more precise spatial mapping in the brain," says Guy Hotson, lead author of the study. "This precision is what allowed us to separate the control of individual fingers."
Initially, the mind-controlled limb had an accuracy of 76 percent. Once the researchers coupled the ring and pinkie fingers together, the accuracy increased to 88 percent.
"The part of the brain that controls the pinkie and ring fingers overlaps, and most people move the two fingers together," says Crone. "It makes sense that coupling these two fingers improved the accuracy."
The researchers note there was no pre-training required for the subject to gain this level of control, and the entire experiment took less than two hours.
Crone cautions that application of this technology to those actually missing limbs is still some years off and will be costly, requiring extensive mapping and computer programming. According to the Amputee Coalition, over 100,000 people living in the U.S. have amputated hands or arms, and most could potentially benefit from such technology.

The commentary describes the background to the Proclamation, in particular the significance of the English Reformation, and Henry VIII's increasing interest in regulating and censuring the press. The commentary suggests that while this early instance of press intervention influenced governmental attitudes to censorship throughout the next 150 years, one of the crucial differences between this and later models of ideological control was that the 1538 Proclamation sought to censure print materials in a manner that was decoupled from the economic ownership and exploitation of such works.

Reality: Though this flu season is worst than most, it does not rise to the level of pandemic, explains Yonatan Grad. "Seasonal flu, like we're seeing this year, is distinct from pandemic influenza. Pandemic influenza we see when there is a new strain that's being introduced to a population that has little or no immunity." For example: the 1918 flu, which killed millions, and the 2009 H1N1 "swine flu." Says Grad: "What we're seeing this year is a seasonal flu outbreak: severe, but not pandemic."
2) Myth: The vaccine is only 10% effective
Reality: "This number 10 percent is particularly for H3N2," which is only one of multiple flu strains included in the flu shot, explained Grad. "The effectiveness against influenza B is higher—estimated between 55 and 60 percent," he said—and with circulation of the B strain on the rise, it's well worth getting vaccinated, if you have not already done so.
3) Myth: There's no point to getting the flu shot this year
Reality: Despite the lower-than-desired effectiveness of this year's vaccine, "There is still benefit from influenza vaccination," emphasized Tim Uyeki, who said that estimates based on previous years' data suggest that vaccination averts millions of illnesses and medical visits and thousands of hospitalizations and deaths.
4) Myth: Healthy people don't need the vaccine
Reality: "A lot of young, health people say, 'Flu's no big deal for me,'" said Alfred DeMaria. "They need to think about where the vulnerable people with underlying conditions—who we really want to vaccinate—where do they acquire their infection? Frequently it's from caregivers."
5) Myth: We're on the verge of a universal flu vaccine
Reality: "There's a notion of a universal flu vaccine, which would be a single shot that would provide broad protection" year after year, said Marc Lipsitch, "but the expert consensus seems to be forming around the notion that that's still a long way off." Still, there is plenty of room for incremental progress. "If we can chip away at the issues of duration of immunity, breadth of immunity, strength of immunity, and speed of production, all of that will lead in the right direction."
