Order of the Hero Medal
Heroes live amongst us, whilst many have died amongst us. However, in today's society, we are too far gone in obsessing over the actions of the criminal and the abhorrent, rather than the brave men and women who stand to fight injustice and tyranny. We wish to change that.
We live in a society where more and more men are afraid to stand up for what's right, and risk their own to protect another, that's why when an act of bravery occurs, we wish to acknowledge it to the full extent and award the heroes of our society with the Gallantoro Order of the Hero. With this, we aim to not only identify and commend the great heroes among us but to encourage others to do the same.
In a time when men are more uncertain than ever of their own social standing and duty, now more than ever we need to identify the great among us. The Order of the Hero will be given to men and women who risk their own lives in the immediate protection and rescue of another.
The Gallantoro Order of the Hero is awarded to civilians and/or emergency services or military personnel, who voluntarily risks his or her own life or safety in an attempt to save another human being from death or imminent danger.
The award is open to anyone on Earth, however, the event must have taken place on Australian soil. The act is required to be brought to the attention of the Gallantoro Council within five years of the event taking place.
With regard to military and emergency service personnel, special consideration will be made in regards to these applicants, as there is a duty of responsibility attached to these people as opposed to the general population. In these instances, behaviour that extends beyond the call of duty will be required.
The burden of proof required will be high, and there must be conclusive evidence of all facets of the event; being the threat, the risk and the event circumstances themselves.
To nominate a hero, you may email us at assistance@gallantoro.com

Edinburgh Community Solar Co-operative nears completion of 30th installation
Waverley Court solar installation. Image: ECSC.
The Edinburgh Community Solar Co-operative (ECSC) has almost completed its 30th installation, with solar panels being fitted on Waverley Court, the City of Edinburgh Council headquarters.
Waverley Court is the sixth public building to have solar panels installed as part of funds secured during ECSC's 'Phase 2' 2020 public share offer. Waverley is the biggest of the installations, and at 160.46kW, the installation is anticipated to generate approximately 128,005kWh per year.
It is being developed in partnership with the City of Edinburgh Council, with Councillor Adam McVey saying the installation "is funded by community share offers and is a fantastic way we've been able to connect with residents who want to help tackle climate change".
"As well as supplying clean electricity to the council buildings the panels have helped reduce the council's carbon emissions, supporting our target of net zero emissions by 2030.
"Additionally, the panels generate revenue which is put to good use through the community benefit fund by supporting new sustainable energy projects across the city."
The ECSC was set up in 2015 and has since installed solar panels on 24 council and Edinburgh Leisure buildings across the city. In 2020, these installations generated 866,405.78kWh.
Lesley Hinds, chair of ECSC, said that "the support from the Edinburgh community and beyond by investing in our share offer, shows their commitment to reduce the carbon footprint in Edinburgh. Waverley Court is the first building to be installed in the City Centre and will be a visible beacon for renewable energy in Edinburgh".
ECSC is looking at expanding its portfolio in 2021, and potentially issuing a further share offering.

Q: Multiple inheritance from a shared base class in Perl Moose Let A, B, C, D be Moose classes.
Let both B and C inherit from A. Let also D inherit from both B and C.
What will happen with "duplicate" properties (properties from A present in both B and C)?

A: See Method Dispatch Order in Modern Perl:

Method dispatch order (or method resolution order or MRO) is obvious for single-parent classes. Look in the object's class, then its parent, and so on until you find the method or run out of parents. Classes which inherit from multiple parents (multiple inheritance)—Hovercraft extends both Boat and Car—require trickier dispatch. Reasoning about multiple inheritance is complex. Avoid multiple inheritance when possible. (emphasis mine)
Perl 5 uses a depth-first method resolution strategy. It searches the class of the first named parent and all of that parent's parents recursively before searching the classes of subsequent parents. The mro pragma (Pragmas) provides alternate strategies, including the C3 MRO strategy which searches a given class's immediate parents before searching any of their parents.

\section{Introduction \& Related Work}
\label{sec:intro}
Language models (LM) based on long short-term memory (LSTM) neural networks \cite{Hochreiter1997lstm} have been widely applied to automatic speech recognition. Both in lattice rescoring \cite{Sundermeyer2014latres, Kumar2017latres} and direct one-pass recognition \cite{Beck20191pass, Luescher2019libsp, Kitza2019swb}, large improvements over the $n$-gram count-based language models are observed. The recurrent update of cell states on each new word allows theoretically a capability of modeling any unlimited context.

One of the most common neural-network-based acoustic modeling methods is the hybrid hidden Markov model (HMM) approach \cite{Bourlard1993hybridhmm}, which still gives state-of-the-art performance on several widely used corpora \cite{Luescher2019libsp, Kitza2019swb}. The joint probability of a word sequence and input features requires a full summation over all HMM-state sequences. This leads to a high search complexity, since no exact word boundaries are present and all word sequences have to be tracked separately. However, with $n$-gram LM, the LM probability for paths sharing the same $n$-gram context is anyway the same. A complexity reduction based on this property is required. Viterbi approximation instead of full-sum is then widely applied, where the selection of the best word sequence hypothesis is only derived from its single best HMM state sequence. This allows an independent treatment on each state path of each word sequence. Additionally, exact word boundaries of each path are revealed. Recombination based on the same $n$-gram context can then be applied to largely simplify the search.

But due to the unlimited context with LSTM LM, search is forced to again track each word sequence separately even in Viterbi decoding. Although recombination can be forced by taking a truncated context, certain performance degradation is observed \cite{Beck20191pass, Jorge20191pass}. This gives the motivation to reconsider the full-sum over HMM state sequences, where potential improvements of using better probability in decision making can be explored.

Full-sum-based training criteria, such as connectionist temporal classification (CTC) \cite{Graves2006ctc}, have been widely adopted to improve model training. But even for models trained with full-sum related criteria, Viterbi decoding is still one standard approach for evaluation \cite{Kanda2016ctcmap, Willi2019sMBR}. One related work can be the prefix search decoding proposed in \cite{Graves2006ctc}, where certain heuristics are used to apply a section-wise full-sum search. This is claimed to outperform the best path decoding. \cite{Drexler2019subwordctc} extended it to subword level without the heuristics. Overall, there is only limited work to investigate full-sum-based decoding and its effect on decision making.

In this work, we revisit the joint probability used in decoding of hybrid HMM-based speech recognition. We argue that by applying full-sum instead of Viterbi approximation, improved probabilities should also benefit decision making. We apply the full-sum decoding using prefix-tree search with some modification. The proposed full-sum decoding is evaluated on both Switchboard and Librispeech corpora using state-of-the-art systems. Different models using cross-entropy (CE) and lattice-based state-level minimum Bayes risk (sMBR) \cite{Gibson2006MBR} training criteria are used. Additionally, both maximum a posteriori (MAP) and confusion network (CN) decoding as approximated variants of general Bayes decision rule are evaluated. Consistent improvements over the strong baselines are achieved in almost all cases. We also discuss tuning effort, efficiency and some limitations of the full-sum decoding.

\section{Full-sum Decoding}
\label{sec:fullsum}
Let $w_{1}^{N}$ and $x_{1}^{T}$ denote a word sequence of length $N$ and input features of $T$ frames, respectively. In the hybrid HMM approach, the key quantity used for decision making is their joint probability:
\begin{align*}
p(w_{1}^{N},x_{1}^{T}) & = p(w_{1}^{N}) \cdot \sum_{s_{1}^{T}} p(s_{1}^{T},x_{1}^{T}|w_{1}^{N})\\
                       & = p(w_{1}^{N}) \cdot \sum_{s_{1}^{T}} \prod_{t=1}^T p(x_t, s_t|s_{t-1})\\
                       & = p(w_{1}^{N}) \cdot \sum_{s_{1}^{T}} \prod_{t=1}^T \dfrac{p(s_t|x_t)}{p(s_t)} \cdot p(s_t|s_{t-1}) \numberthis \label{eqFS} \\
                       & \underset{\text{(Viterbi approximation)}}{= p(w_{1}^{N}) \cdot \max_{s_{1}^{T}} \prod_{t=1}^T \dfrac{p(s_t|x_t)}{p(s_t)} \cdot p(s_t|s_{t-1})} \numberthis \label{eqViterbi}
\end{align*}
where $s_{1}^{T}$ represents HMM-state sequences modeling the word sequence $w_{1}^{N}$. By applying Viterbi approximation, this joint probability for each word sequence is quantified by its single best state sequence only. Except for the numerical loss, the effect of such approximation in terms of final decision on best word sequence is unclear.

\subsection{Decision rules}
\label{sssec:decision}
In speech recognition, the general Bayes decision rule is given by:
\begin{align*}
x_{1}^{T} \rightarrow \accentset{\ast}{w}^N_1 = \argmin_{w_{1}^{N}} \sum_{\hat{w}_1^M} p(\hat{w}_1^M|x_{1}^{T}) \cdot \mathcal{L}(w_{1}^{N},\hat{w}_1^M)
\end{align*}
where $\mathcal{L}$ is the cost function between two word sequences. Instead of Levenshtein distance, the sentence-level 0-1 cost function is often used to simplify the optimization. This leads to the MAP decision rule:
\begin{align*}
x_{1}^{T} \rightarrow \accentset{\ast}{w}^N_1 = \argmax_{w_1^N} p(w_{1}^{N}|x_{1}^{T}) = \argmax_{w_1^N} p(w_{1}^{N},x_{1}^{T})
\end{align*}
Here differences of using Equation~\ref{eqFS} and Equation~\ref{eqViterbi} may result in both better and worse recognition.

The MAP decision rule aims to minimize the expected sentence error rate, which is suboptimal for speech recognition. A thorough study on different cost functions in terms of word error rate (WER) is given in \cite{Schluter2011br, Schluter2012cost}, but experimental verification is done using Equation~\ref{eqViterbi}. Decision rules other than MAP usually include further summations (e.g. for word posteriors), which can have possible interaction with the summation on HMM-level. Thus, the impact of full-sum on the decision becomes even more complicated.

We also investigate this with CN decoding, which is a common approach to better approximate the Bayes decision rule. We follow the pivot-arc-based approach in \cite{hoffmeister11phd} to construct the CN by clustering the word arcs in the lattice into slots. The resulting hypotheses space is a superset of the original one and all paths have the same length. In this case, Hamming distance can be directly used as the cost function and the optimization problem is converted to slot-wise local decisions:
\begin{align*}
x_{1}^{T} \rightarrow \accentset{\ast}{w}_n = \argmax_{w_n} \sum_{\hat{w}_1^N:\hat{w}_n=w_n} p(\hat{w}_1^N|x_{1}^{T})
\end{align*}
Here the posterior probability is obtained by normalizing the joint probability over all word sequences in the word lattice.

\subsection{Prefix-tree search}
\label{ssec:dp}
For large vocabulary continuous speech recognition (LVCSR), explicit enumeration of all possible word sequences is computationally infeasible. Prefix-tree search using dynamic programming (DP) \cite{Ney1999dp} is a very efficient procedure to handle this. We also apply full-sum decoding using this approach with some modification. Without recombination, all state paths are characterized by their complete word history and probability summation within each word sequence becomes feasible. This is mainly realized by modifying the auxiliary $Q$ function in DP recursion:
\begin{align*}
Q_{\sum}(t,s;w_1^n) = \sum_{s'} \left\lbrace p(x_t, s| s';w_1^n) \cdot Q(t-1, s';w_1^n) \right\rbrace
\end{align*}
At each target state of each time frame, the probability summation over all incoming paths is carried out and this merged path continues further in the search. Paths of pronunciation variants are normalized and summed up as well. Note that without recombination, this does not increase complexity comparing to Viterbi decoding, since the major difference is just replacing the maximization with summation. The rest of the search procedure is rather straightforward.

Standard score-based beam pruning is applied to maintain a reasonable size of search space. Ideally an infinite pruning threshold is needed to include all state paths of each word sequence, but we observe that the summation saturates at a normal threshold already. By increasing the pruning threshold, the number of paths grow dramatically. But the contribution of those paths with very low probability is negligible, and eventually has no effect on the results. For each final word sequence hypothesis, the joint probability in Equation~\ref{eqFS} contains the full-sum over all plausible state sequences.

Note that the resulting lattice from the full-sum decoding is a tree-like structure with certain approximation. Within each word sequence, word boundaries of each arc are taken from the single best state path. We use score to represent probabilities by taking $-log(.)$, which is common in decoding. The score at each arc boundary is computed from the probability summation of all partial paths merged at this boundary. The score marked on each word arc is the score difference between its right and left boundary, which does not correspond to the probability of this word. However, the accumulated score from the first till the last arc corresponds to the correct probability summation of all state paths for this word sequence. During CN construction, word boundaries are used as part of the arc distance measure for clustering and discarded afterwards. The correct full-sum is used to compute the posteriors for arc clustering and decision making.

\subsection{Parameter tuning}
\label{ssec:tuning}
In practice, acoustic scale $\alpha$ and LM scale $\beta$ are often applied for an optimal weighting among the knowledge sources. For MAP Viterbi decoding, $\alpha$ can be set to 1 and only $\beta$ needs to be tuned. But for full-sum decoding, both of them need to be tuned. This great tuning effort can be largely reduced by firstly tuning $\beta$ with $\alpha$ set to 1, and then linearly scaling both of them with the fixed ratio. To our experience, the same optimum is achieved in most cases as obtained by grid search.

\section{Experiments}
\label{sec:exp}

\subsection{Experimental settings}
\label{sssec:expsettings}
The proposed full-sum decoding is implemented based on the RWTH ASR toolkit \cite{rasr} with extensions described in \cite{Beck20191pass}. Both MAP and CN as approximated variants of Bayes decision rule are evaluated. For the MAP results, a one-pass recognition setup using LSTM LM without recombination is applied. Word lattices generated from the one-pass recognition are used to further apply CN decoding. Additionally, different models trained with CE and lattice-based sMBR criteria are evaluated. Note that full-sum is not applied in the training. Experiments are conducted on both the Switchboard corpus \cite{swb} and the Librispeech corpus \cite{libsp}. Acoustic and LM scales are optimized on the development sets.

\subsection{Switchboard}
\label{sssec:swb}
The acoustic models are the same as described in \cite{Willi2019sMBR, Kitza2019swb}, which consists of six BLSTM layers with 500 units for each direction. Both the CE and sMBR based models are trained on 300h Switchboard-1 Release 2 using 40-dimensional gammatone features \cite{Schluter2007gt}. The language model consists of two LSTM layers with 1024 units, which is described in \cite{Beck20191pass}. The Hub5'00 and Hub5'01 datasets are used as development and test set, respectively.

Table~\ref{tab:swbwer} compares the proposed full-sum decoding to the standard Viterbi decoding with different models and decision rules. Only one case is improved with MAP decision rule, but consistent improvements are obtained with CN for both models. Interestingly for the CE model, the performance of Viterbi decoding even degrades from MAP to CN, which is not the case for full-sum decoding.

Figure~\ref{fig:swbwerrtf} shows efficiency comparison of the two decodings with the sMBR model and MAP decision rule on the Hub5'00 dataset. Smaller real time factor (RTF) is obtained with stronger pruning. Full-sum decoding is more sensitive to strong pruning. This is because, besides direct search errors made by the strong pruning, it also suffers from an indirect influence. During search with strong pruning, non-negligible state paths of a partial word sequence hypothesis get pruned away, which introduces certain loss to the probability summation. This effect can accumulate across the search and eventually leads to more search errors. On the other hand, when WER converges with less pruning, there is no efficiency loss with the full-sum decoding.

\end{figure}

\subsection{Librispeech}
\label{sssec:libsp}
We use the state-of-the-art hybrid HMM system described in \cite{Luescher2019libsp}. Both CE and sMBR based acoustic models consist of six BLSTM layers with 1000 units for each direction, and are trained on the complete Librispeech training data with 50-dimensional gammatone features. The language model has two LSTM layers with 4096 units.

Detailed WER comparison of the two decodings with different models and decision rules are shown in Table~\ref{tab:libspwer}. With such a strong baseline of very low WER, further improvements are obtained with the full-sum decoding in almost all scenarios. This again verifies the benefit of improved probabilities in terms of decision making. Note that there is no difference in the models but just a different way to apply them in decoding, therefore the improvements come without additional cost at training.

One interesting observation is that more improvements are achieved on the 'other' datasets than the 'clean' ones. To better understand this, we further check the state posteriors from acoustic models' top 5 outputs at each frame. We accumulate these posteriors at each frame and average them within each dev set for each model, which is shown in Figure~\ref{fig:libspposterior}. This partially reflects the models' distribution over the states and both models tend to produce sharper distribution on the dev-clean set than on the dev-other set. One way to interpret this is that when the models are more confident on a very limited number of state paths, there is likely less difference between full-sum and Viterbi decoding.

\section{Conclusion}
\label{sec:con}
In this paper, we showed that by applying full-sum instead of Viterbi approximation in decoding, more accurate probabilities improve decision making. The proposed full-sum decoding was verified on different corpora, models and decision rules, and showed consistent improvements in almost all cases. We showed that the full-sum decoding is more sensitive to strong pruning, but has no efficiency loss with normal pruning. One major advantage is that by applying the proposed full-sum decoding, even for the state-of-the-art system with very low WER, further improvements can be achieved with negligible extra cost.

One possible future direction is to investigate the effect of full-sum decoding in noisy conditions where models are in general less confident. Another direction is to investigate the joint effect on models trained with full-sum-based training criteria, such as CTC.

Centisecond resolution for query times belongs to the last century. I want at least millisecond resolution—microsecond is better. Fortunately, this is as simple as changing a printf format specifier in the mysql client program.
Alas, elsewhere in the code I now see that times() is used for timing, rather than a higher-resolution mechanism such as gettimeofday(). Bummer—I thought the sed trick could be such a neat hack.


The Koenigsegg Edition has been created to break records in the traditional Koenigsegg way. The aim with the Koenigsegg CCXR Edition is to deliver superior performance - on the track, in a straight line and on country roads - and to do so in style and comfort.
According to our comparative studies, no other supercar can match the Koenigsegg CCXR Edition in terms of power-to-weight ratio, aerodynamic balance, downforce and chassis stiffness. At the same time, the Edition maintains the Koenigsegg CCX's fantastic drivability and its ability to absorb uneven road surfaces like no other supercar.
Both models are fitted with a remapped, 4.8 litre twin-supercharged Koenigsegg engine, and have been track-tuned by the inclusion of modified shock absorbers, stiffer springs and anti-roll bars, reset dampers and a lowered chassis.
Downforce has been enhanced by the addition of an optimised rear wing, front winglets, a larger front splitter and nolder, all of which have been designed to create as much downforce as possible. In total the Koenigsegg CCXR Edition produces over 350 kg of downforce at 250 km/h. The aerodynamics have been verified and optimized, both in CFD and during live testing on the Koenigsegg test track in Sweden and on various proving grounds in Europe.
The clean, Scandinavian design is accentuated by the clear lacquered finish, which reveals the bold, linear beauty of the carbon fibre construction. Each individual section of carbon fibre bodywork has been painstakingly matched and then joined together inside out like a tailored suit, to create a stunning pinstripe effect. The process is so timeconsuming that it takes almost twice as much time to create the clear-coated visible carbon body compared to the normal painted carbon CCX body.
The exquisite leather interior, specially anodised aluminium trim and redesigned Koenigsegg Chronocluster and centre console combine with our unique forged aluminium wheel design to confirm the Edition's exclusive status. Standing beside the car, you would be forgiven for thinking it is already in motion - such is the dynamic presence of this breathtakingly stunning vehicle. The looks can be further enhanced by adding optional secondary colours for the front splitter, side splitters and diffuser, with a choice of dark red, dark silver and pearl white.
The Koenigsegg CCXR Edition comes with the free option of Michelin Cup Tyres, and a unique set of wheels designed to optimise their size and characteristics. These state-of-the-art tyres reduce braking distance, deliver faster acceleration from standstill and higher cornering G-force in dry conditions.
The Koenigsegg CCX Edition runs on regular petrol and produces 888 bhp, whilst the Koenigsegg CCXR Edition has been modified as a bioflexfuel car, and can run on E85, E100, regular 98 octane petrol (Europe) or a mixture of the three. When run solely on petrol, the engine produces 888 bhp, but the higher octane E85 fuel makes higher compression, boost pressure and increased spark advance possible, enabling the engine to deliver a staggering 1018 bhp.
For the first time we can offer paddle-shift as an option for the Edition cars. In fact all manual Koenigsegg cars can now be altered to paddle-shift at a later stage, if so desired by the customer. Production of the cars will be strictly limited: just 14 of the Koenigsegg CCX Edition and 6 of the Koenigsegg CCXR Edition will be made.

The averages are based on the final national numbers (live plus same day viewing). The demos are typically reported with one decimal place but I've included two for more accurate ranking.
Keep in mind that the demo numbers are typically what's most important to advertisers. Therefore, that's how the networks measure success. Advertisers typically pay more for ad time on a show that has a higher demo rating. Because older viewers don't count? No, it's because younger viewers watch less traditional TV and are harder to reach. It's also important to remember that ratings are designed to estimate how many people watch a show's commercials — not the show itself. That's what advertisers pay for.

Princess Cruise Lines have confirmed that a fire destroyed several buildings on the south side of Princess Cays, the island which is home to their resort. The private Bahamian resort is located on Eleuthera and welcomes between three and five Princess ships each week.
The fire was reported to have started around 11 p.m. on Monday the 28th of January. It took local firefighters and resort staff over an hour to control and extinguish the flames. The cruise line owns over 40 acres on the island including a little more than a half-mile of beach shore which is enjoyed by their guests.
The cruise line uses Princess Cays as a day resort for passengers and had just completed a full renovation of the facilities in February of 2018. The only good news to come from this sad event was that there were no guests on the property at the time of the fire, and no one was injured. But the Carnival Pride which was scheduled to dock at Princess Cays on Wednesday will not be stopping for a visit to the island. Instead, the Pride will steam to Half Moon Cay, which is a private island in the Bahamas, that is owned by the Carnival subsidiary Holland America Cruise Line. This will not be quite the experience that passengers had looked forward to on their trip from Baltimore, but it is a far better and safer option considering the circumstances.
As there has not been time to fully access the condition of the structures at Princess Cays, the cruise line has not announced when the facility will be reopened for guests. It is assumed that Princess will continue to share Half Moon Cay with sister cruise line Holland America until Princess Cays is repaired and verified to be not only a fun stop for passengers but also a safe stop.
If you have a cruise booked that is scheduled to stop at Princess Cays in the coming weeks, it is best to contact the cruise line directly to learn the specifics of any alternate stops on your cruise. The phone number for Princess is 1-800-774-6237, and their website is www.princess.com. At this time there is no updated information on their website, but it could be included in their news section of the site once plans are finalized. But for trips in the next week or two, a call would be a better option for passengers.

A major debate that is waged in the business world is what data collection methods will deliver the best results for a business – consumer insights or market research? Folks who are aligned with the consumer insights team will shout the superiority of their position as loudly as possible while proclaimers of marketing research with do the same with their position.
The truth is that there's an argument to be made for both positions so the best way to approach the question is to compare the two. Let's begin with the basics.
Market research is a systematic approach to gathering information about a target market or customers. It is an essential part of a sound marketing strategy. Research is used to discover the needs and size of a market. It's based on logical, statistical evidence. In short, market research answers the "what" of a market and its customers.
Customer insight is used by businesses to determine the reasoning behind why their target customers behave a specific way with regard to their brand. Insight is used to affect purchase behaviour. In short, customer insight shows us "why" a customer behaves a specific way.
Companies that are focused on customer insights are 60% more profitable! That's a huge increase so let's look at it in action.
Let's use an automotive company as an example here. This business has already laid out a sound marketing strategy and learned as much as they can about their overall audience through market research. They have made some sales but now they are looking to improve their marketing, so they launch a new customer survey to capture key information from their customers. The goal is to dive deeper into the psyche of the customer experience. The only way to do this is to ask questions.
Take steps to ensure that work is done on schedule. This might mean installing better tools or hiring more employees.
Set a standard pricing system and always stick to it.
Relay all information about services rendered to the customer upon completion of work.
Develop a system for recommending additional services tactfully.
Hire more skilled employees to ensure the work is done correctly the first time.
These solutions would only be brought to life through insights. Market research details how you should market your service to a target market while insights provide information to help ensure each customer's experience is the best it can be.
We live in an age where there is plenty of research readily available to everyone. What is lacking is valuable, actionable insight.
The experts will continue to wage war over which is better, but the reality is that both market research and customer insights have a very important role to play in a business. Rather than thinking of them as separate entities, start looking at them like layers on a cake. Research delivers knowledge of an overall market and will always be the foundation of a sound marketing plan. Insights just add another layer to that, adding more narrative to the data acquired through research.
We need research to get customers and insights to provide them with the best experience.

Oil pares U.S. stock-draw gains on weak demand outlook

By Koustav Samanta
SINGAPORE (Reuters) – Oil prices dipped on Thursday on lingering concerns about a weak demand outlook, after surging more than 2% in the previous session on the back of a surprise draw in U.S. crude stocks.
Brent crude futures <LCOc1> fell 39 cents, or 0.6%, to $60.78 a barrel by 0111 GMT. The international benchmark crude rose 2.5% on Wednesday to settle at $61.17 a barrel, levels not seen since Sept. 30.
West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures <CLc1> dropped 46 cents, or 0.8%, to $55.51 per barrel. U.S. crude closed 3.3% higher in the previous session.
U.S. crude inventories fell 1.7 million barrels in the week ended Oct. 18, compared with analysts' expectations for a 2.2 million barrel build, data from the Energy Information Administration showed.
This was in stark contrast with earlier inventory data released by industry group the American Petroleum Institute (API), which showed a build of 4.5 million barrels in U.S. crude stocks.
The EIA said the drawdown in weekly stocks came as refineries hiked crude runs and oil imports fell, which prodded a jump in both benchmark crude grades on Wednesday.
"Given the unexpected drawdown in this week's report, it is perhaps unsurprising that the market reaction was positive," Kieran Clancy of Capital Economics said in a note.
"That said, with headwinds facing the U.S. and the global economy likely to intensify in the months ahead, it probably won't be long before a return of fears over the health of demand."
Some market participants said a decline in U.S. product inventories, as shown by the EIA data, could point to underlying demand.
"The EIA report may be an indication that oil demand is not as bad as a current dreary run of global headline macro data might suggest," said Stephen Innes, market strategist at AxiTrader.
The prospects of deeper production cuts by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and its allies also helped support the market.
Russian Energy Minister Alexander Novak, however, said on Wednesday that no formal calls have been made yet to change the current global oil supply deal.
OPEC, Russia and other producers have since January implemented a deal to cut oil output by 1.2 million barrels per day (bpd) until March 2020 to support the market. The producers will meet to review the policy on Dec. 5-6.

FilmL.A. Releases Third Quarter Production Update
FilmLA October 28, 2015 Research1 Comment
The third quarter of 2015 set a new record for on-location Television production in Los Angeles, according to a recent FilmL.A. report. The 4,308 Shoot Days (SD) tallied last quarter in the Television category made it the strongest quarter on record for the category in five years. Within the Television category, on-location TV Drama production rose 23.9 percent (to 1,187 SD), TV Sitcom production increased 168.0 percent (to 745 SD), and digital Web-Based TV increased 25.6 percent (to 378 SD). TV Pilot production also increased 31.6 percent (to 125 SD). Meanwhile, TV Reality — still the region's largest television production segment — slipped 20.2 percent (to 1,259 SD).
The impact of the California Film & Television Tax Credit was evident in the numbers reported by FilmL.A. The first round of television projects qualified under the state's new film incentive entered production in the third quarter. Incentive-qualified projects comprised 20.8 percent (247 count) of on-location Shoot Days in the TV Drama category, 8.6 percent (64 count) for TV Sitcoms and 33.6 percent (42 count) for TV Pilots.
"We were predicting increases in the scripted television segment, and it appears those predictions are coming true," said FilmL.A. President Paul Audley. "Undeniable is the influence and importance of the California Film & Television Tax Credit, which in both its old and new iteration has returned a considerable amount of work to Los Angeles."
Commercial production also contributed to the quarter's overall increase. Local on-location Commercial production grew by 11.0 percent (to 1,278 SD). Measured in on location Shoot Days, commercials are the region's second largest production driver, after television. Local on-location Feature production decreased 11.0 percent (to 1,146 SD) in the third quarter of 2015, ahead of an expected fourth quarter increase thanks to late-start state incentivized projects.
"Los Angeles County can never take for granted its history and position as the center of the entertainment industry," said Los Angeles County Supervisor Don Knabe of the report. "The impact of the California Film & Television Tax Credit has already made a huge impact on our ability to compete with other markets and their aggressive pursuit of production business. We must continue to work together across the region to retain this critical industry which provides hundreds of thousands of jobs, directly and indirectly, and billions of dollars to our economy."

Abby Huntsman blames exit from 'The View' on 'unbearable culture'
Huntsman said she raised concerns about how she felt to show executives but she was often met with a "blank stare" or comments about how "lucky" she was to be there.
Elise Brisco, USA Today
SHARE Abby Huntsman blames exit from 'The View' on 'unbearable culture'
Abby Huntsman attends the 2018 Global Citizen Festival in Central Park in 2018 in New York City.
Abby Huntsman is diving into further detail about why she left her seat at "The View."
The former Fox News anchor joined the daytime talk show in 2018 and announced she was leaving in January 2020. At the time, she said she was leaving to help her father Jon Huntsman Jr. with his Utah gubernatorial campaign. In the first episode of her new podcast "I Wish Somebody Told Me," she confirmed she helped her dad after leaving, but also called the gig "a great out."
"I knew the show did not reflect my values, when I say that I mean rewarding people for bad behavior," Huntsman said on the Thursday released podcast. "At that time there were executives in charge and that I did feel that we were kind of players in that game and it was about money and it was about ratings and the tabloids."
Huntsman, 35, said she raised concerns about how she felt to show executives but she was often met with a "blank stare" or comments about how "lucky" she was to be there. She said after nothing changed, she had to "save" her mental health.
"It was just an unbearable culture by the end."
USA TODAY has reached out to "The View" for comment.
Other former "View" co-hosts Candace Cameron Bure and Meghan McCain, both of whom were also brought in to share conservative viewpoints, have also made claims of an unpleasant work environment.
Bure, who was on "The View" from 2015 to 2016, said she felt "emotional stress" while on the show during a podcast episode in October. McCain, who left "The View" this year, said "the environment on the show is toxic" in her new Audible memoir "Bad Republican."
Meghan McCain book reveals why she left 'toxic' times at 'The View'
Huntsman also said on her podcast that after she announced her departure, executives told her to make another statement to stop rumors she left because of a toxic work environment. The former co-host refused and said "that would just be lying."
"The View" began in 1997 with the goal of creating a roundtable of diverse women to discuss current events. It's seen a revolving door of co-hosts with both liberal and conservative points of view.
But moderator Whoopi Goldberg, who's been on the show since 2007, once said the show is not a reflection of reality.
"I am playing a role. These are not conversations that I'm having with my friends," the comedian said during a 2019 interview with The New York Times. "If they were, we'd be doing it differently. My friends and I can talk about things in-depth in a different way than you can on television."

Plane Crashes In Fort Smith; Pilot Rescued By Boaters

Published: 8:46 PM CDT July 12, 2014
FORT SMITH (KFSM) - A plane crashed into the Arkansas River in Fort Smith on Saturday (July 12) evening near the Midland Avenue bridge, according to authorities.
Three men in a boat on the river rescued the pilot, who was the only person on-board the aircraft, authorities said.
The plane is registered to Tim Hazlewood of Van Buren, according to flight records. He was piloting the plane and is reported to be in good condition, authorities said.
Records show the plane is a fixed-wing, single-engine, amateur-built experimental aircraft.
The men in the boat told authorities they saw the plane losing altitude as it approached the Arkansas River. The plane then hit the water and flipped on its top. The pilot was able to escape the crashed aircraft and was picked up by the men in the boat, authorities said.
The three men in the boat tied the plane up to their boat. The Fort Smith Fire Department hauled the plane to the bank with one of their emergency boats, and a wrecker then pulled the plane onto the shore, authorities said.
The Fort Smith Police Department said they received a call around 7:18 p.m. about a reported plane crash.
The cause of the crash is under investigation.
According to authorities In December of 1984 a plane crashed into the Arkansas River. Emergency responders pulled a father, son and a plane out of the Arkansas River.
The two were found dead according to authorities.
"The boy is not in the plane it was evidence that something was seat belted in beside the father," an official on scene told 5NEWS.
Gregory Reed with Southern Eagle Aviation in Fort Smith is a pilot instructor.
"In the airplane business you don`t get a second chance a lot of times," Reed said. "As far as getting anyone`s permission to go anywhere with it, no if you own the airplane you can pretty much do what you want."
5NEWS asked Reed if regulations should be more strict.
"As far as regulations do I think there should be tighter, no," Reed said.
Reed said it's important to have the proper training when operating an aircraft.

Modern Matter 16 – Visual Essay (1) – Cover by Olu Odukoya
Modern Matter 16 – Visual Essay | This issue of Modern Matter is a visual essay from the magazine's studio, created in collaboration with Erwin Wurm and Helmut Lang. At its core, it is an exploration of the dialectics between creator and viewer; artist and audience; director and reader. When we create an image, we ourselves become performers, curating an image of ourselves and of how we see our surroundings.
In this way, the image is imbued with our sense of self — and by the same means, we can often decode images of others through our own experiences as a viewer. Take for instance the parodied image on page 142, in which I pose as Andy Warhol on the cover of Esquire magazine, drowning in his can of Campbell's soup: what does it signify about the recursiveness of pop culture, and about the mission statement of this magazine? Questions around the language of the visual, too, have never been more pertinent than in the age of Instagram. This issue — like all portraits, and especially all self-portraits — is about performance.
200 pages – with two covers by Olu Odukoya and Helmut Lang.

Described by the Serpentine's Hans Ulrich Obrist as "the best magazine in London", and by Magma's Marc Valli as "porn for a magazine editor", Modern Matter is unique in its approach to blending the best of British and international journalism and long-form writing with a fine-art sensibility and a high-fashion aesthetic; more than a magazine for documenting trends, it is a publication which ignores the zeitgeist in favour of something more distinctive and eclectic, hoping to redefine for the reader what it means for an idea to truly be "modern".

'Breach at Gate Pä, April 30, 1864'
Pukehinahina or Gate Pä is a good example of what was known as the modern pä, a fortification built to resist modern weaponry that included muskets and artillery. The modern pä first came to prominence during the Northern War against the British in 1845-46. Associated with the Ngä Puhi chief Kawiti, the modern pä afforded maximum protection for the inhabitants by incorporating:
- firing and communication trenches that offered maximum protection while allowing rapid movement within the pä
- anti-artillery bunkers, or rua, set into the ground and covered with logs, stones and matted flax that allowed warriors to remain safe during periods of bombardment
- two palisades consisting of a strengthened inner fence of heavy logs and a lighter fence or pekerangi 1 m outside the inner palisade. The pekerangi had flax matting hung over it, making it virtually musket-proof while giving the impression of a flimsy palisade, which often lured the attacker into a false sense of security.

The Shepherd is endorsing Johnny Thomas for City of Milwaukee comptroller. Johnny Thomas has shown that he has the professional qualifications and personal character traits to be a good steward of the city's finances.
With his 20 years of experience in accounting, finance and compliance, Thomas has the professional credentials we need in a comptroller. Thomas earned an MBA, served in the U.S. Army and was the chair of the finance committee when he was a Milwaukee County supervisor. He currently works as a budget analyst for Milwaukee Public Schools and teaches accounting and finance at Cardinal Stritch and Concordia University.
Thomas would like to refocus the comptroller's office so that it's more forward thinking and accessible to the public. We think this kind of openness is a good thing and believe that Thomas could find the support to do it.
But there are other reasons why you should vote for Thomas on April 5.
As you may recall, in 2012 Thomas, then a Milwaukee County supervisor, was the victim of a grave injustice when an aide to Milwaukee County Executive Chris Abele wore a wire and tried to entrap Thomas into taking a campaign bribe. Despite the very thin evidence against him, Thomas was charged with two crimes, but a jury found him not guilty in just an hour of deliberations and totally exonerated him of any wrongdoing.
Throughout his ordeal, Thomas showed a lot of strength and dignity and has since rebuilt his good reputation, which he never should have lost.
Thomas was running for city comptroller at the time of his legal troubles and he was forced to drop out of the race back then, ceding the race to the only candidate left on the ballot, Martin Matson, who is the current comptroller. After regaining his footing professionally, Thomas decided to run for comptroller in this cycle.
We support Johnny Thomas in his bid to become City of Milwaukee comptroller and encourage Shepherd readers to cast a ballot for him on April 5.
Johnny Thomas he is either too dumb or too unethical to not take pay offs. Dumb Thugs in power way to go MKE.

Loose, Vague, and Indeterminate
By George Mason Economics Society
Loose, Vague, and Indeterminate is the podcast of the Economics Society at George Mason University. The title is a phrase used by Adam Smith in The Theory of Moral Sentiments to describe the set of rules that are not "precise and accurate." Since economics is all about people and the decisions they make, very little of it is precise and accurate. Every Friday, this podcast dives into the looseness, vagueness, and indeterminacy with interviews of undergraduate students, graduate students, professors, and outsiders exploring economics from all angles.
Rosolino Candela on Price Theory
Loose, Vague, and Indeterminate • By George Mason Economics Society • Nov 22, 2019
Molly Harnish on Internships, Environmental Economics, and Fonts
Our guest is Molly Harnish, Econ Society webmaster emerita. We discuss internships: what they are and how to get them. We also discuss two research projects Molly is working on: one on private vs. public ownership in environmental economics and one on networks in Congress. Listeners will learn lots of ways to get involved and make the most of their college careers -- and they will learn Molly's favorite and least favorite fonts. James Talocka cohosts. (This is the last episode of the semester; the first episode for second semester will come out on January 31.)
Mercatus Center Associate Director of Academic and Student Programs Rosolino Candela joins the podcast to talk about price theory. In an example-filled episode, we discuss free parking at shopping centers, lighthouses and lightships in 18th-century Britain, and the sugar contents of Fanta. Dr. Candela also talks about who he considers the best price theorists: Mises, Hayek, Buchanan, Tullock, Alchian, and Demsetz. Marcus Shera cohosts.
Andrew Humphries on Teaching Economics
GMU Econ PhD student Andrew Humphries joins the show to talk about his passion for pedagogy. We discuss Socratic teaching methods, dialogue in the classroom, and the discovery process of knowledge. Andrew talks about how he learned to read and the best teacher he ever had. Rajee Agrawal cohosts.
Nick McFaden's Post-Presidency Policy Palooza
Last year's president of Econ Society, Nick McFaden, joins the show to discuss what he's up to these days, presidential candidates, taxation, and antipoverty policy. What does it mean to be a neoliberal? Are reparations a good idea? Greg Mankiw is #YangGang? We go through those questions and more. Marcus Shera cohosts.
Marcus Shera on New Institutional Economics and the Armenian Genocide
GMU econ student Marcus Shera joins the show to discuss a paper he wrote on the Armenian Genocide. Inspired by his Armenian heritage, he used the tools of new institutional economics to analyze the genocide as a homogenization technology by the Ottoman Empire. We discuss Ottoman history, Islamic law, and different kinds of religious toleration. We also have a surprise guest.
Jon Murphy on Teaching Economics, the Nobel Prize, and What Economists Should Do
On Episode 4 of Loose, Vague, and Indeterminate, Rajee Agrawal joins me as cohost to talk to PhD student Jon Murphy. We ask Jon about his experience teaching introductory economics, international economics, and law and economics. We also discuss the recent Nobel Prize in Economics winners and the prize in general. Jon talks about what economists should do and retells a classic story about Ronald Coase at the University of Chicago.
Jacob Hall on Hume's History of England
Episode 3 of Loose, Vague, and Indeterminate is here! This episode's guest is first-year Ph.D. student Jacob Hall. We discuss David Hume's book The History of England and touch on political economy, theories of jurisprudence, and development economics. We also talk about what it's like being in the first year of the GMU Econ Department's Ph.D. program.
Hitchhiking and Hazlitt
On the second episode of Loose, Vague, and Indeterminate, I am accompanied in my hosting duties by Econ Society member George Minning as we interview Caleb Petitt. Caleb is a fellow undergraduate at George Mason University who went on an exchange trip to Spain. On that trip, he acquired one of the wildest stories you'll ever hear about hitchhiking his way through Europe. Inspired by Henry Hazlitt's famous book, George, Caleb, and I teach economics in one lesson using the hitchhiking story. We cover marginalism, subjectivism, state vs. private ownership, and much more.
Daniel Klein on Smith's Theory of Moral Sentiments
"Loose, vague, and indeterminate" is a phrase from Adam Smith's 1759 book, The Theory of Moral Sentiments (TMS). To explain what that phrase means, Prof. Daniel Klein, a Smith expert, is our first guest. We dive into TMS and talk about how scholars view the book, how Smith breaks down justice, and how the book relates to our lives today.


Sacred Seed works to grow and spread the seed of traditional Indian corn. These beautiful crops contain so much history that needs to be preserved. Each variety has a story behind its color or origin.
Sacred Seeds seeks to protect and preserve the genetic diversity of original seeds, while promoting local, traditional, and sustainable agriculture to offer healthy and low impact food to our communities.
10 years ago, a mentor of Taylor Keens approached him and posed the question, "What are you doing to protect your corn?" The subsequent conversation led to an idea, which became a dream. This dream brought Taylor on a personal journey to help bring the tradition and history of indigenous & heirloom seeds back to his native Omaha & Cherokee people and away from the Industrial faming practices of our time. In 2014, Taylor made this dream a reality with the establishment of Sacred Seed.
Since the idea became a reality, Taylor has helped form Sacred Seed into an established non-profit with its overarching goal still well within sight and the community ready to help get him there. Partnering with Creighton University students and the greater Omaha community, Sacred Seed has begun to bring the tradition, culture, and importance back to Indigenous & Heirloom crops.
Learn more about our story by looking into the below articles on the project.
Please check out the Omaha World Herald article & video Click Here, and the KETV article & video Click Here.
Take a Look at the video from our Sacred Seed Fall Festival!
The Sacred Seed Fall Festival is an annual event where anyone involved with or interested in Sacred Seed gets together to celebrate the years harvest, enjoy a traditional meal prepared from the years harvest, and look towards Sacred Seed's future.
Interested in attending next years event? Message us on Facebook.
For a behind the scenes look at the food served during this years festival, check out our blog.
We work with several different plots of land to grow our crops and harvest our seeds. Omaha Permaculture is an organization that has allowed us to use some of their land and works closely with our organization to help us grow. Creighton University's greenhouse is also home to several of our crops.
We are currently looking to expand our reach throughout the Omaha region and continue to make an impact on the culture, education, and understanding of indegenous seeds.
We are currently growing, and need funding to continue our mission. With more funding and our new official nonprofit status, we are seeking to gather even more seeds, tools, and resources to expand our mission and preserve even more heirloom varietals for our future.
We appreciate your support and donations, no matter how big or small. Thank you for ensuring that seeds remain biodiverse, GMO-free, and that native traditions live on in the seeds.
Watch this beautiful video highlighting the importance of Native food and preservation of the culture.
Extensive research was an important aspect throughout the process of developing the organization. Several concepts and ideas were pulled from books listed in this section. For those that are interested in following the traditional growth patterns for these crops, many of these titles may be helpful to you. Check them out!

This company claims to serve e-commerce entrepreneurs, individuals and businesses that offer their products globally. We have taken the time to make a research and found that the company demonstrates high expertise in legal translations. Their translators do have skills and backgrounds in the legal sector.
Stepes is one of the market leaders when it comes to affordable and quality legal translations for individual and business purposes. Solutions offered by this company always guarantee the best results to customers. Stepes.com can also boast of a useful website and responsive customer support service.
GTS-Translation.com is one of the companies working with large international businesses, local firms and individuals that need quality legal translations accepted worldwide. This translation company can boast of a variety of services and offers for customers. Among the cons you should pay attention to are high prices and lack of customer support.
InWhatLanguage.com works with a wide range of languages and provides various services for individuals and businesses. Rigorous processes of translation, proofreading and formatting guarantee that the final result will be excellent. The only disadvantage we could find while making the review was the fact that the pricing policy is not clear.
TodayTranslations.com have been on the market for some time and earned a reputation of trustworthy translation partners. They work hard to provide high quality, guarantee security and avoid a single misinterpretation. Such dedication leads to high prices and a lack of support for many languages.
All legal papers should be translated in accordance with the highest standards of quality and accuracy. Universal-Translation-Services.com is on the list of companies which can provide you with both thanks to a well-organised process of work and quality control. Unfortunately, limited support of languages does not let us rank this service higher.
According to JRlanguage.com legal translation has no room for error, it is supposed to be accurate and quick. This company provides you with precise translations, guarantees the strictest confidence and delivers without delays. But remember that all the extra features may require extra payments.
K-International.com is definitely among the companies providing high-quality legal translation and localization services. You can trust it with your task and reach goals together with the professionals. However, keep in mind that their prices may be higher than average depending on the type of document you need to be translated.
TransPerfect.com offers a variety of legal translation services for both individuals and businesses no matter if they are local or work on the global market. Though the quality of the services is not always up to par we should say that this company deliver orders without delays and work on translations from and into different languages.
Legal translations are of the utmost importance and can be ruined by the tiniest mistake leading to negative consequences. Unfortunately, Tomedes is not among the services which can guarantee a top-notch quality at all times. However, they offer good customer support and affordable prices. That`s why we rank them so high.
So many translations have legal implications. Even a website localization may be in for a legal issue if local laws are somehow violated in the content, payment procedures, etc.
The point is this. Any time you have a need for translation services, there should be an evaluation of any legal implications it might have in the target country.
Obviously, there is a large need for legal language services for both individuals and businesses. And finding the best legal translation services will be important, in order to avoid any issues moving forward.
So, how do you go about finding the right legal translation company for your needs?
Most translation agencies are pretty comprehensive and do not focus solely on legal translation. However, if they do advertise this service, they must have the expertise to serve clients well. You have the right to request detailed information about a company's successful history and for references, specifically in the type of legal translation you need. That company should be happy to provide this for you.
You also have the right to request the academic and certification backgrounds of the translators who will be completing projects for you. Whether you need legal document translation services, contracts, briefs, depositions, etc., you want someone with the background that matches your needs.
No matter how much education and training a translator has, and no matter how much background in the law they have with respect to the target country, a highly reputable legal translation company will have a contact person in-country – preferably a licensed attorney – who can review all translations and ensure that they meet the legal requirements of the target country's government. Some companies actually use ex-patriots who have been lawyers and who are well-versed on local law and provide consultation services.
The role of machines in all translation, including legal language services, has increased over the years. Glossaries of terms can be entered into databases and entered into machine systems. And, AI and machine learning "remembers" common terminology, especially with standard legal document translation services, and make parts of legal translations more streamlined.
However, there is still no viable substitute for primarily human translation, and a reputable service that promises professional legal translations will not rely on machine translation.
The best legal translation services will not rely on a single legal translator, especially for complex pieces such as contracts, depositions, legal briefs, etc. They will always have a second translator to act as a reviewer and editor of the primary translator's work. Once that has been accomplished, the next step will be to transmit the piece to a target country legal consultant for a final review.
Be certain that any agency you choose for important legal translation provides these steps in the production process.
If you need legal translation on a regular basis, especially for business purposes, you might find a few services that meet the criteria that have been listed above. There is nothing that says you have to turn over all of your legal translation projects to a single provider. You can "test" agencies by giving them a single project, provide your detailed stipulations, such as deadline and communication with the primary translator, and see how each one operates within your requirements. Do you have access to your translator? Is there a customer service center that will respond to your questions and issues? For a large project, is there a project manager who oversees completion of your order? You will soon see which agency is the best "fit" for you. And then you can move the rest of your legal translation needs to that agency.
These are just six criteria that you can use to find the best legal translation service for your needs. There may certainly be others that you will want to consider. However, if you begin with these six, you will be well on your way to finding the legal translation services that will meet our needs.
