We extend earlier ideas about the appearance of noncommutative geometry in string theory with a nonzero B-field. We identify a limit in which the entire string dynamics is described by a minimally coupled (supersymmetric) gauge theory on a noncommutative space, and discuss the corrections away from this limit. Our analysis leads us to an equivalence between ordinary gauge fields and noncommutative gauge fields, which is realized by a change of variables that can be described explicitly. This change of variables is checked by comparing the ordinary Dirac-Born-Infeld theory with its noncommutative counterpart. We obtain a new perspective on noncommutative gauge theory on a torus, its T-duality, and Morita equivalence. We also discuss the D0/D4 system, the relation to M-theory in DLCQ, and a possible noncommutative version of the six-dimensional (2, 0) theory. 8/99

This paper investigates mechanisms that guarantee secure information flow in a computer system. These mechanisms are examined within a mathematical framework suitable for formulating the requirements of secure information flow among security classes. The central component of the model is a lattice structure derived from the security classes and justified by the semantics of information flow. The lattice properties permit concise formulations of the security requirements of different existing systems and facilitate the construction of mechanisms that enforce security. The model provides a unifying view of all systems that restrict information flow, enables a classification of them according to security objectives, and suggests some new approaches. It also leads to the construction of automatic program certification mechanisms for verifying the secure flow of information through a program.

Fix an algebraically closed field k. Let Mg be the moduli space of curves of genus g over k. The main result of this note is that Mg is irreducible for every k. Of course, whether or not M s is irreducible depends only on the characteristic of k. When the characteristic s o, we can assume that k ~- (1, and then the result is classical. A simple proof appears in Enriques-Chisini [E, vol. 3, chap. 3], based on analyzing the totality of coverings of p1 of degree n, with a fixed number d of ordinary branch points. This method has been extended to char. p by William Fulton [F], using specializations from char. o to char. p provided that p> 2g q-i. Unfortunately, attempts to extend this method to all p seem to get stuck on difficult questions of wild ramification. Nowadays, the Teichmtiller theory gives a thoroughly analytic but very profound insight into this irreducibility when k----C. Our approach however is closest to Severi's incomplete proof ([Se], Anhang F; the error is on pp. 344-345 and seems to be quite basic) and follows a suggestion of Grothendieck for using the result in char. o to deduce the result in char. p. The basis of both Severi's and Grothendieck's ideas is to construct families of curves X, some singular, with pa(X)-=g, over non-singular parameter spaces, which in some sense contain enough singular curves to link together any two components that Mg might have. The essential thing that makes this method work now is a recent " stable reduction theorem " for abelian varieties. This result was first proved independently in char. o by Grothendieck, using methods of etale cohomology (private correspondence with J. Tate), and by Mumford, applying the easy half of Theorem (2.5), to go from curves to abelian varieties (cf. [M2]). Grothendieck has recently strengthened his method so that it applies in all characteristics (SGA 7, ~968) 9 Mumford has also given a proof using theta functions in char. ~2. The result is this: Stable Reduction Theorem.-- Let R be a discrete valuation ring with quotient field K. Let A be an abelian variety over K. Then there exists a finite algebraic extension L of K such

Richard Avedon: Relationships
Edited with text by Rebecca A. Senf. Forewords by James Martin, Andrew Schultz. Text by Maria Luisa Frisa, Nicolas Ballario.
How the legendary portraitist forged enduring relationships with his sitters, from Marilyn Monroe to Truman Capote
Over the course of his six-decade-long career, photographer Richard Avedon worked with a tremendous range of portrait subjects: models, actors, ballet dancers, celebrities, civil rights activists, heads of state, inventors, musicians, visual artists and writers. He also frequently returned to the same subjects. Published for an exhibition at Palazzo Reale, Richard Avedon: Relationships spotlights these recurring figures: painter Jasper Johns in 1965 and 1976; novelist Carson McCullers in 1956 and 1958; the Beatles, Andy Warhol, Marilyn Monroe and Allen Ginsberg in 1963 and 1970. Perhaps his most intimate and enduring photographic relationship occurred with his friend and collaborator Truman Capote.
Selected from the extensive Avedon collection at the Center for Creative Photography by curator Rebecca A. Senf, this catalog presents 100 fashion and portrait photographs that emphasize the role of relationship-building in Avedon's practice. His attunement to his individual subjects—as well as his crystalline technical proficiency—enabled him to create portraits radiant with vivid life.
Richard Avedon (1923–2004) was an influential American fashion and fine art photographer known for his emotive portraits of celebrities. His book In the American West (1985) is widely considered a seminal work in the history of photography. His works are held in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Art Institute of Chicago and the Fotomuseum Winterthur in Switzerland, among many others.

Paul Tisdale says he is not anticipating having Pierce Sweeney, Liam McAlinden and Dan Seaborne available for Exeter City's trip to Crewe Alexandra tomorrow evening.
The trio missed City's defeat at home to Mansfield Town on Saturday through injury, with McAlinden and Sweeney both having groin injuries.
Speaking on Monday morning, Tisdale said he did not expect any of the players to return for Tuesday.
He said: "Pierce Sweeney, Liam McAlinden and Dan Seaborne, I wouldn't expect any of those to be returning just yet.
"I'd imagine it will be very much the same we had going into the game on Saturday."
One positive for the Grecians in the defeat was the performance of Troy Brown, who returned after a two-and-a-half month lay-off and put in a solid display.
Tisdale revealed he was pleased with how the central defender did and that he came through the full 90 minutes unscathed.
The City boss said: "He came through very well, actually. He did a good job, he'd been out for so long but he got through it very well.
"I'm sure he was tired but he got through it well and had a good opening game back with us."

Im vorliegenden Band wird Husserls 1920 erstmals gehaltene und 1924 wiederholte Vorlesung Ã1⁄4ber Ethik veröffentlicht. In ihr wendet sich Husserl nach einer systematischen Bestimmung des Begriffs der Ethik einer kritischen Darstellung der Geschichte der Ethik zu. Diese Darstellung ist am Gegensatz von Rationalismus und Empirismus orientiert, der sich in der Ethik in den gegensätzlichen Ansätzen der Verstandes- und GefÃ1⁄4hlsmoralisten zeigt. Im Rahmen einer Auseinandersetzung mit klassischen Positionen aus der Geschichte der Ethik versucht Husserl, die Grundlagen seiner eigenen Ethik zu gewinnen und darin die traditionellen GegenÃ1⁄4berstellungen zu versöhnen. So steht fÃ1⁄4r Husserl die GefÃ1⁄4hlsgrundlage der Moral nicht im Widerspruch zur Idee eines absoluten Sollens, an der Husserl im Anschluss an Kant und Fichte festhält. Husserls AusfÃ1⁄4hrungen gipfeln in dem Ideal eines universalen vernunftbestimmten Willenslebens, in dem alle Aktsetzungen endgÃ1⁄4ltig zu rechtfertigen wären. Zur Vorlesung gehört ein umfangreicher Exkurs, in dem Husserl durch eine phänomenologische Analyse des Unterschieds zwischen Sach- und Normbegriffen den wissenschaftstheoretischen Charakter der Ethik als normativer Geisteswissenschaft bestimmt.
The author defines "Geometric Algebra Computing" as the geometrically intuitive development of algorithms using geometric algebra with a focus on their efficient implementation, and the goal of this book is to lay the foundations for the widespread use of geometric algebra as a powerful, intuitive mathematical language for engineering applications in academia and industry. The related technology is driven by the invention of conformal geometric algebra as a 5D extension of the 4D projective geometric algebra and by the recent progress in parallel processing, and with the specific conformal geometric algebra there is a growing community in recent years applying geometric algebra to applications in computer vision, computer graphics, and robotics. This book is organized into three parts: in Part I the author focuses on the mathematical foundations; in Part II he explains the interactive handling of geometric algebra; and in Part III he deals with computing technology for high-performance implementations based on geometric algebra as a domain-specific language in standard programming languages such as C++ and OpenCL. The book is written in a tutorial style and readers should gain experience with the associated freely available software packages and applications. The book is suitable for students, engineers, and researchers in computer science, computational engineering, and mathematics.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 14th Iberoamerican Congress on Pattern Recognition, CIARP 2009, held in Guadalajara, Mexico, in November 2009. The 64 revised full papers presented together with 44 posters were carefully reviewed and selected from 187 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on image coding, processing and analysis; segmentation, analysis of shape and texture; geometric image processing and analysis; analysis of signal, speech and language; document processing and recognition; feature extraction, clustering and classification; statistical pattern recognition; neural networks for pattern recognition; computer vision; video segmentation and tracking; robot vision; intelligent remote sensing, imagery research and discovery techniques; intelligent computing for remote sensing imagery; as well as intelligent fusion and classification techniques.

Jason Diamond on Flavorwire has a list of 25 websites for those of us who love books.
He says: "It's an interesting relationship that book lovers have with the Internet: most would rather read a physical book than something on an iPad or Kindle, and even though an Amazon purchase is just two or three clicks away, dedicated readers would rather take a trip to their local indie bookstore. Yet the literary world occupies a decent-sized space on the web. Readers, writers, publishers, editors, and everybody in between are tweeting, Tumbling, blogging, and probably even Vine-ing about their favorite books. In case the demise of Google Reader threw your literary Internet browsing into a dark void, here's a list of 25 book sites to bookmark. "


While he is not the author (because we know Louis Armstrong made this tune famous) his illustrations were a favorite of the cellist when he was in preschool. He loved looking at all of the vibrant colors while we read the book over and over again. He still remembers his teacher playing the music to go along with the book during their story time.
What's even better is that he still does dramatic reading and performing of his tales. What can top that?!
Having a childhood so full of books and words and images, I love that I see this happening for my children. I'm hoping just maybe I can see this wonderful artist during my time in Maine soon. How awesome would that be?!

S2 E15 Boom Goes the Dynamite
02/21/13 | TV-14 | CC
Olivia meets with Captain Jake Ballard (guest star Scott Foley). According to him, this is NOT a meeting. It's a date. If all goes well, he expects there to be kissing. The highfalutin French restaurant Olivia picked isn't Jake's idea of a prime date place. He'd rather sip champagne on the steps of a Washington landmark. Guess D.C. isn't all that strict on open container laws. Anyway, Olivia asks about "Albatross" during the date/meeting. Jake says it's a term used to describe a mole in the Intelligence community that was never proven to be real.
The date/meeting ends abruptly when Olivia gets called away. David believes someone is following him. It likely has to do with Wendy, the woman who was murdered in his bed. Files found on the dead lady's flash drive lead the team to believe that "Albatross" may be real. Huck needs a few days to break through some encrypted files. He'll also trail David to make sure he isn't in danger. It'll be good to get him out of the office, as Huck hasn't showered in days. In short, he stinks. Quinn realizes the waterboarding he endured has made him susceptible to panic attacks regarding showers, baths, rain, etc.
Senator Peter Caldwell is a member of one of the dirtiest political dynasties ever. His wife, Marion, is working in the campaign offices of his brother, Will, who is making a play to become governor of North Carolina. Will needs a PR boost due to the fact that he hasn't dated anyone in a decade. Rumors are he's gay. Olivia can work with that even though he's running in a red state. Will is adamant that he's not gay. Be that as it may, the guy still needs a wife to fix his public image. If they play this right, it could lead to a stint in the White House. The search for the perfect woman to join him in a political marriage is on.
The team finds an ideal lady to play Will's wife for life, but Abby derails the potential pairing. She was part of a political marriage that nearly destroyed her. Abby is better now and having sex with David at random times with no strings attached. Speaking of David, he finds out that he truly is being followed by Wendy's best friend, Molly, who knows he was framed. She saw the face of a man who was threatening Wendy. Molly knows this is the person who killed her friend. She fears she may be next.
The president's secretary, Louise, is hesitant to let a man she's never seen before into her boss's office. Fitz assures her that everything is okay. The mystery guest, Captain Jake Ballard, is an old friend. He wonders why he's been asked to watch over Olivia Pope. He doesn't get an answer. Instead, Jake is ordered to continue his surveillance. He watches Olivia closely via the cameras hidden in her place. Jake shuts off the monitor anytime there's undressing. It's nice to know this officer is also a gentleman when it comes to the unauthorized surveillance of the woman he's dating/meeting.
Fitz is desperate to find the mole in his organization. Time is of the essence. Video footage shows the thugs who kidnapped four U.S. spies slitting the throat of one member. Persona non grata Cyrus tells Mellie they need to send in the drones for a retaliatory attack. They do. The First Lady assures Cy that she'll let Fitz know that the attack was his idea. She doesn't. Cyrus realizes that Mellie is sabotaging him, so evens the score by tricking her into making a political play that blows up in her face.
The team learns that Fitz will be introducing Will Caldwell at an upcoming gala. They find a lovely lady to play the part of his future wife. Abby and Harrison prep the instantly happy couple regarding stories associated with their sudden love story. Unfortunately, someone leaks the details of the great wife hunt to a gossip site. Harrison shuts things down by promising the tabloid exclusives when Will becomes governor. As for the person who gave them the story in the first place, Olivia has a pretty good idea of who that is.
Will works the room at the gala with his faux lady love. Fitz gives him a rousing endorsement during his speech. Afterwards, he catches sight of Olivia laughing during a phone call. He has no idea that the mystery caller making her so happy is his old pal, Jake. As for the future governor of North Carolina, he sneaks outside to share a kiss with his true love. That would be his brother's wife, Marion. Olivia advises him to end it ASAP. He can't waste any more time waiting for something that will never happen. Stolen moments aren't a real life. Olivia is an expert in this area.
Olivia sets up another meeting with Jake. She's actually looking at it as a date this time around. Jake is jazzed about this which is why he lies to Fitz by saying that Olivia isn't seeing anyone. In other news, Huck decodes one of the encrypted files. The team now knows that the man who killed Wendy is the White House mole who also leaked the true identities of the CIA spies that were taken hostage. Molly sees this man, Albatross, on TV. He happens to be the person closest to the president in the investigation. Albatross is the Director of the CIA.

Q: Powershell - what's this line saying? I am a ServiceNow developer. I am dealing with a powershell script which I am not aware of. Can anyone tell me what's going on in the below line? Thanks!
$currentuserid = Get-WmiObject -Class win32_computersystem -ComputerName $workstation | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Username

A: Lets break apart this command
$currentuserid = Get-WmiObject -Class win32_computersystem -ComputerName $workstation | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Username

In powershell $ is the identifier for a variable. This means $currentuserid will equal the output of the last command in the pipe, In this case Select-Object.
Also in powershell -whatever after a command is a parameter.
The | symbol is pipe.
Get-WmiObject is a command making a WMI call to the win32_computersystem via the -class paramater, which is just some basic information about the computer system. -ComputerName parameter with the variable $workstation means do a remote WMI call to  another computer which is unknown to me becuase i dont know whats inside the variable $workstation. The Output is then piped | to a select-object command which allows you to cut out data from a property. The parameter -ExpandProperty means to just return what the value of the property equals. The property value he wanted was Username
In simple terms it is getting the username from the Win32_computersystem class in a WMI call to a unknown remote system

Q: How GEE align pixels and projection when reduce resolution? Here is the thing: I want to count how many Landsat pixels 30x30m were included in a 500x500m MODIS pixel. It is basically a zonal statistics, and I use reduceResolution to compute. But the issue is: in theory, there should be 500x500/30x30 = 278 landsat pixels in a MODIS pixel. But when I compute use count reducer in GEE, the number is 403 ~ 424, larger than the theoretical value. When implemented in arcgis, the sum zonal statistics returns 272 ~ 289, which makes more sense considering the actual MODIS pixel size is < 500 and Landsat pixel size is < 30 as well. So my question is how GEE handle the pixel resolution and alignment when implementing zonal statistics? Also, how can I get the value close to the theoretical 278? Is there a projection problem hidden in this issue? As GEE projection tutorial stated we should rarely concerned about projection when computing. I also tried reproject all layers to the same coordinates, but zonal statistics results are around 415.
here is my snippet using GEE example.
// Load a MODIS EVI image.
var modis = ee.Image(ee.ImageCollection('MODIS/006/MOD13A1').first())
    .select('EVI');

// Display the EVI image near La Honda, California.
Map.setCenter(-122.3616, 37.5331, 12);
Map.addLayer(modis, {min: 2000, max: 5000}, 'MODIS EVI');

// Get information about the MODIS projection.
var modisProjection = modis.projection(); // what's the difference betwen .projection() and crs()
print('MODIS projection:', modisProjection);

//var modisCrs = modis.crs(); // modis.crs is not a function
//print('MODIS crs', modisCrs);

// Load and display forest cover data at 30 meters resolution.
var forest = ee.Image('UMD/hansen/global_forest_change_2015')
    .select('treecover2000');

var forestCount = forest
    // Force the next reprojection to aggregate instead of resampling.
    .reduceResolution({
      reducer: ee.Reducer.count(), // count gives value 403~424
      maxPixels: 1024
    })
    // Request the data at the scale and projection of the MODIS image.
    .reproject({
      crs: modisProjection
    });

// Display the aggregated, reprojected forest cover data.
Map.addLayer(forestCount, {max :80}, 'forest cover count at MODIS scale');

Here is screen shot of images when use ee.Reducer.count(). the black pixel value is around 403, and the white pixel value is around 424. Way large than the theoretical 278.

A: I found the resolution myself. Here I shared and with some unresolved questions in my mind.
The solution is you have to reproject the forest cover and after later, after reduceResolution, you need to reproject again. Here is the snippet.
var forestCount = forest.reproject({crs:'SR-ORG:6974', scale: 30})
      // Force the next reprojection to aggregate instead of resampling.
      .reduceResolution({
        reducer: ee.Reducer.count(), //
        maxPixels: 1024
      })
      // Request the data at the scale and projection of the MODIS image.
      .reproject({
       crs: 'SR-ORG:6974', // MODIS projection
      });
  };

This works with reasonable outputs. But reproject is not recommended in GEE. particularly reproject twice. So my question for the GEE expert is, do you have better solutions or explanations?


A key aspect of coworking is space utilisation. So when we heard that an Adelaide-based yoga venture had come up with a clever business model that uses under-utilised space for their classes, we felt an affinity.
We caught up with Yoga & Co Adl founder Lisa to learn more about this smart new approach.
CoworkingSA: What made you decide to run your classes outside of a gym or yoga studio?
Lisa: The traditional spaces to set up yoga classes were either too expensive or didn't suit my style of yoga. I teach yoga in a way where we don't take it so seriously – it has a lighthearted element to it – and this style fits better in spaces that aren't gyms or studios. Yoga is one of very few forms of physical exercise that you can literally do anywhere. Sure, you usually need a mat and some stretchy clothes and, in the case of a group, you'll need a bit of space. But I wanted to run with the idea of doing yoga anywhere.
CoworkingSA: How did you decide where you were going to run your classes?
The Mill has a long and skinny gallery space that is perfectly suited for yoga sessions.
I also fell in-love with A.nouk; with their highly architectural space filled with natural light and sculptural plants.
Abbots & Kinney was also a must for me as they're in the heart of the city and have an uber cool space.
I've got my eye on a couple more.
CoworkingSA: How did you come to agreement with the business owners?
Lisa: All of the business were rapt with the idea of seeing their spaces used in a new way. They all saw it as a benefit to their own business by bringing new people into their spaces and by creating an even stronger community amongst their existing clientele.
In the case of The Mill, my classes have an added bonus by bringing their coworking community together on a weekly basis. Their coworking community is a diverse group, with shoe makers, tattoo artists and accountants all in the mix. Yoga is lovely way for them to do something all together.
CoworkingSA: How has the response been so far?
Lisa: It's been great! The spaces are small in comparison to the huge rooms you'll find in most gyms and some yoga studios, which I think is a bonus as I'm able to pay more attention to everyone in the class.
Also the businesses that I work with have been so supportive. Most of the yogis who have come to my classes were people who found out about me through either The Mill, A.nouk or Abbots & Kinney. It's been humbling for me having experienced business owners provide so much support.
CoworkingSA: Can you elaborate on the "light hearted element" of the way you teach yoga?
Lisa: I teach my classes to music from the likes of Drake, Beyonce, Sia, Bon Iver. We don't dance but sometimes we groove through stretches. Teaching yoga to music is a bit polarising in the yogi teacher community but I really can't do without it.
A lot of people, even seasoned yogis (including me!), can feel terribly intimidated when going to a yoga class. They feel that maybe they won't be able to do it properly (whatever that means) and that they'll look like a bit of a goose in front of everyone. Teaching yoga to music that isn't all too wrapped up in technicalities and Sanskrit allows people to feel just that little bit more relaxed.
I think that yoga, a killer playlist and a stellar space is the perfect trifecta.

Orchestrating conflicting polymerization mechanisms in a single polymerization process through one external stimulus is a prerequisite to achieve in-situ selective synthesis of different monomers. Here we report an electrochemically controlled mechanism transformation that enables selective activation of living cationic or radical polymerization via an alternating voltage and dual electrocatalysts. Using identical mixed-monomer condition, a variety of desired block copolymer structures, including diblock, multiblock, random, and tapered copolymers can be obtained by simply varying the periods or phases of the alternating potential. Moreover, merging this electro-interconverted polymerization with a flow-chemistry technique can streamline preparation of functional polymer materials with complex multiblock structure. This study would offer a new vision on large-scale electrochemical synthesis of sequence-defined polymers.

Protection of various materials against hydration is of continuing interest to chemists and material scientists. We report on stabilization of porous surface of activated γ-alumina spheres (AAS) against hydration by an adhesive coat of nano-magnetite particles. The nano-Fe3O4-coated AAS were prepared in the ultrasound-agitated suspension of magnetite nanoparticles in heptane and were characterized by using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), BET surface area analysis and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). It is deduced that nanoparticle-alumina bonding interaction in non-polar organic solvent is enhanced by van der Waals attractive forces and that sonication induces changes in alumina morphology only in regions of contact between alumina and magnetite nanoparticles. The coated AAS submerged in still water avoid hydration and remain permeable by small gaseous (N2) molecules, while those soaked in moving water lose part of their coat and undergo hydration. The pristine and the coated AAS were briefly compared for their ability to degrade model antibiotics by using LC-MS analysis. It is confirmed that the degradation of trimethoprim is more efficient on the coated AAS. Our results are challenging for further research of Coulombic interactions between nano-particles and appropriate solid supports.

All of these projects are co-developed by our interdisciplinary team of professional designers and student interns.


If just thinking it causes you to start to feel the fear, it's time you did something about it. The good news is that we have yet to come across someone with a case of red light phobia that couldn't be overcome.
Bottom line? Your subconscious mind needs to be re-trained. On the surface, you know that this business with redness doesn't make sense. But the fear remains because, with even just a thought of redness, your subconscious mind triggers fear and other negative emotions.
Vanquish Red Light Phobia Today.
You can use our two minute Red Light Phobia Online Test to determine the problem's severity, but it's really pretty simple: Now is the point in time to take control, if the fear is considerably taking over your life, in a negative way.
These are just a few of the most common things people experience. Read more on the symptoms of red light phobia.
The use of drugs and medication for Red Light Phobia is not encouraged in our program because they generally mask the problem, rather than tackling the cause. Meds may seem to help in the short-term by temporarily improving your symptoms, but the problem is that they can never cure the core issue of the fearful patterns of thinking that are the automatic reaction to redness and which trigger the intense feelings of fear.
There hasn't been a medication created specifically for treatment of Red Light Phobia, just general broad-application meds – When looking for an answer, maybe you should think about possible side effects before turning to prescription drugs.
The good news is with our program, your Red Light Phobia will be history, without resorting to meds..
1: red light phobia: a persistent, abnormal, and unwarranted fear of redness, despite conscious understanding by the phobic individual and reassurance by others that there is no danger. 2: red light phobia: an extreme unwarranted fear and/or physical aversion to redness.


Hot among hottest is the one and only Battlefield V and with only almost one month away from its release, various details tend to add more to the hype. However, this new detail might add more to the excitement but in a very different way, than you expect it to be. It turns out that the main developers, as you may know, DICE behind the development of this game are not the ones developing Battlefield V Battle Royale Mode.
Very recently EA DICE revealed the Gamescom 2018 trailer of Battlefield V Battle Royale Mode and turns out there was a reason for it, other than the Gamescom marketing. Apparently, they were planning to reveal that this battle royale mode is not been developed by DICE, rather some unknown studio.
So little is known about the studio, which is developing one of the most important genres that can actually determine the fate of the Battlefield V.
Very recently EA also gave a sneak peek at Battlefield V Battle Royale Mode and although we did not get to see much, those few glimpses did stir a lot of hype. One thing that got noticed was that player may not be able to play the circle, like they won't be camping their way into the safe zone.
Now the topic of concern is that very recently, we got to see the pre-order stats and turns out Battlefield V did not seem to do good, in comparison to Black Ops 4 and Red Dead Redemption. Most of the audience is intent on believing that maybe EA asking fans to not buy this game, apparently backfired.

Who decides what to evaluate, how and when?
February 6, 2008 February 20, 2011 by Eckhard, posted in Aid Effectiveness
A systematic review of the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) estimated that 15 percent of all its reports included impact assessments, but noted that "many evaluations were unable to properly assess impact because of methodological shortcomings" (Victora 1995). A review of 127 studies of 258 community health financing programs found that only two studies were able to derive robust conclusions about the impact on access to health services (ILO 2002).
International consensus is growing that more and better impact evaluations are needed. Only by applying scientific rigor can development programs show that they produce results and offer a good return on the investment. The World Bank has made considerable investments in evaluating the impact of many of its development programs. Other donors like the UK and the Netherlands are joining forces. However, impact evaluations are expensive and not all programs need them. Here is the question: How to decide which programs should have an impact evaluation, who should decide and when? Let us know what you think!
Current practices and evaluation standards were discussed recently at a conference at The World Bank entitled "Making Smart Policy: Using Impact Evaluation for Policy Making" (January 15 and 16, 2008). Read more at http://web.worldbank.org/WBSITE/EXTERNAL/TOPICS/EXTPOVERTY/0,,contentMDK:21567244~menuPK:336998~pagePK:148956~piPK:216618~theSitePK:336992,00.html
The goal of this conference was to show the power of impact evaluation for making policy. Much of the discussion focused on how impact evaluation can be a critical tool for identifying what works and what does not. Panelists and participants raised a number of issues, ranging from reasons why evaluations often do not inform decision making to the involvement – or not – of stakeholders.
While many issues were raised, some important questions had no satisfying answer:
How to decide which programs should have an impact evaluation?
What are or should be the criteria for making this decision? Evaluations can be decided based on a number of program characteristics, such as overall costs, innovative or exploratory nature, potential for great cost-effectiveness, or high visibility or political priority. If it's the first, program costs, then we miss many small but highly cost effective programs implemented by NGOs. Each characteristic has it's pros and cons.
How would you advise your organization and others to go about deciding when to evaluate program impact?
Who should decide?
Should the program implementers decide? Management? Some independent oversight body? There is clearly a conflict of interest for some of the deciders.
When should the decision about an impact evaluation be made?
For many of us the answer may be obvious, as early as possible in the planning of a program. However, in reality it may happen while the program is implemented. This limits what the evaluation can say about program impact. It may also indicate that evaluations are decided when programs seem to go well. Would we want programs evaluated when they do not seem to do so well? A rhetorical question! Even if less performing programs are evaluated, will we ever read about it?
I would like to hear your opinion about this. If you consider this an important topic, feel free to suggest whether the IH Section should deal with it. As we are planning the IH program at the annual meeting in San Diego, should we have a panel on Impact Evaluation? Don't forget to submit an abstract and send us any other suggestions that you might have.

Battle Creek Cypress Swamp Sanctuary
Rare Habitats
At the northernmost limits In the United States for the natural range of bald cypress trees, this 100-acre nature sanctuary recalls a time some 100,000 years ago when cypress swamps were common over large parts of the region and now-extinct animals like mammoths roamed the landscape.
Today, thanks to The Nature Conservancy, which acquired the property in 1957, the Sanctuary's primeval beauty is a protected home to many plants and animals.
Sanctuary and Solitude
As you walk on the quarter-mile boardwalk trail, listen to nature's harmony of calling frogs and songbirds. With quiet patience and sharp eyes you may even catch a glimpse of some of the abundant life supported by this wetland.
Nature Education
Inside the nature center, you can explore more closely the mysteries of the swamp through exhibits that focus on the natural and cultural heritage of the area.
Battle Creek Cypress Swamp Sanctuary makes an ideal day trip for the young and old alike. The Calvert County Natural Resources Division provides a variety of educational programs and outdoor activities throughout the year
Battle Creek Cypress Swamp Sanctuary is a partnership between Calvert County Natural Resources Division and The Nature Conservancy. The Sanctuary is a part of the Chesapeake Bay Gateways Network.
