Of course keeping watery paints from wading into those white spaces can be tricky, especially if the spots are small or intricately shaped. That's where masking fluid comes in. Essentially liquid latex, masking fluid can take on any shape, repels both paint and water, and peels off without leaving a trace. No wonder some artists call it liquid magic!
To use masking fluid effectively , there's definitely some technique involved. Here's what you need to know to become a masking master.
Before picking up your brush, you need to have your painting pretty well mapped out so you know exactly where the highlights and areas you want to preserve will be located. It's always good to have a game plan.
Sorry 007, but you don't want to shake this concoction. You'll end up with a lumpy mess that's impossible to apply with any accuracy. So before dipping your brush in masking fluid, just stir the fluid gently with a wooden skewer (or even the handle of a paint brush).
If your fluid becomes too thick, you can add a drop or two of water to thin it out and make it easier to spread. Just don't go crazy. Adding too much alters the masking fluid's resistant properties. If you thin the fluid too much, it'll end up adhering to the paper and become a real pain to peel off later.
Masking fluid is where brushes go to die, so always use an old brush or a cheap plastic one. To help your brush hold up a little better, wet it and then coat it with some soap before you dip it into the medium. This will protect the bristles and make the brush much easier to clean off later. And speaking of cleaning, do it right away, before the gunk dries.
If you start using masking fluid on the reg, you might want to pick up some silicone brushes. These are great for getting into smaller areas, and all you need to do to clean them is let them dry and the masking fluid magically peels right off!
Using different applicators for masking fluid can yield a range of amazing effects. Try a toothpick for thin lines or tiny dots, a squeeze bottle for larger areas, or an old toothbrush to create a splatter effect (a great way to mimic the random effect of light sparkling on water).
Use It on Painted Areas, Too!
You can also use masking fluid to preserve an area that's already been painted so the colors don't become muddy as you paint nearby. Just keep in mind: the fluid may pick up some of the color and make that area a little bit lighter after it's removed.
After cleaning your brush, immediately change the water or use a different glass altogether. Even the tiniest bit of masking fluid in your paint water can make your watercolors appear dull.
Wait for the masking fluid to dry completely before starting to paint; otherwise, it might mix and mingle with your paint, which is the opposite of what you want! And resist the urge to hasten the process with a hair dryer, as the heat will make the fluid bond with the paper — for good.
Once you've completed your painting, wait until it's completely dry before coming back to the masking fluid. Then use a soft eraser, rubber pick-up tool, or your even just your fingers to gently peel the masking fluid off the paper . When you think you've got it all, slowly pass your hand over the painting to see if you can detect any areas you may have missed.
Masking fluid works very well to preserve white areas on your paper. So well, in fact, that you can end up with hard, unnatural edges around these shapes. If that happens, just use a stiff brush and some water to soften the edges up a bit. Now you've got a masterpiece on your hands!
When the mountains are calling ... paint them! Whether you're out there in nature or just dreaming about your next hike, landscapes are a great way to learn how to incorporate more perspective into your art. Consider this step-by-step your trail to the top.


As I sit down to write this article I look out my window and watch the snow outside and wonder how it is impacting on peoples mental health. I wonder about the different feelings people have towards the snow. Some love it, some feel anxious, some worry, some hate it, others feel frustrated at the limitations it puts on us. Either way the snow seems to elicit an emotional response of some kind from everyone. So what makes it a pleasant experience for one person and not for another? Is it the snow or is it actually our thoughts around the snow?
And of course its our thoughts. Yes the snow causes a little havoc but its our response to the havoc that creates the unpleasant feelings. This follows through with everything in our lives. Its never what is happening but our thoughts around what is happening that can either please or disturb us.
So what can we can we do to make life easier come hail rain or snow?
Firstly, recognise that it is within our power to decide how we are going to react to something. We are all in control of our thoughts although at times it does feel like they are controlling us. Begin by observing your thoughts. Observe how quickly negative thoughts grow and how we often indulge the negative thoughts more easily than we do the positive ones. Thoughts will arise but it is within your power to make a decision not to indulge the negative ones. Observe how the negative thoughts make you feel and decide ' I'm not going to think like that today'. Find something positive to think about and make that your dominant thought. Take control of your thoughts as opposed to letting them control you and remember they are just thoughts not facts.
We all have inner chatter going on all the time. Will I do this or that? I should have said this or that. I should have done things differently. Am I going to be able for this? What if I say the wrong thing? Should I wear this or that? Should I stay or should I go? The questions are constant and we are constantly trying to answer them. But often our inner criticism in just as constant telling us what we should or shouldn't be doing or saying. Observe this internal critical voice. Don't let it be the boss of you. You are not the voice or your thoughts. You are the observer of this voice and the observer of your thoughts. Knowing this allows you to take more control of what you are thinking and how you're allowing your thoughts dictate to you.
Take some time today to sit and be with yourself and your thoughts in silence. Instead of finding silence you're going to listen to incessant internal dialogue. Observe this, observe how your thoughts drag you into thinking about the future or the past and so often we lose the only moment we have which is the present moment. Try today to spend some moments with yourself in the present. Sit down, take a breath, focus on your breathing. You might hear your internal chatter saying "why am I doing this, I've more important things to be doing, this is such a waste of time, what's this all about anyway?" The wonderful Michael Singer in his book "The Untethered Soul" refers to this voice in your head as your inner roommate.
"You may have a clear intention to be quiet inside, but your roommate won't co-operate and you don't generally notice because you don't step back from it. You're so close that you don't realise that you're actually hypnotised into listening to it. If you haven't reached this awareness yet, just start to watch. Spend a day watching every single thing your roommate does. See if you can notice whats its saying in every situation, every time you meet somebody, every time the phone rings, just try to watch. You'll be shocked by what you see, It just jumps from one subject to the next".
Now imagine if this roommate had a body of its own. Imagine it as a person talking to you and that this person is saying everything that your inner voice would say and now spend a day with this person. Every time you want to make a decision it questions you. If this was your roommate you wouldn't last a day living with them. You'd have moved out or asked them to move. But yet we allow this internal roommate to remain with us on a daily basis. So how do we move out from our own internal roommate?
Try to spend some mindful moments in each day. When you're eating focus on your food, focus on the sensation your food makes in your mouth. Focus on the taste. Spend some time thinking positive thoughts. Think about what you have rather than what you don't have. Think about what your are grateful for. Take time at the beginning and end of every day to feel grateful, for your warm bed, your friends, family, carers. Feel grateful for your body, your ability to walk, to talk, to breathe easily. Feel grateful for the small things for these are indeed the greatest gifts.
inside you, just behind the voice.
and will carry on chattering away to itself.
you'll doubt them, laugh at them, reject them.
that seems to be part of silence.


Part of the "Fan Your Talents" program. Introduction to the program : discuss making new friends, painting a fan, using it later in a movement program and then place the fan in an exhibit to be held in October.
A fan is not only a prop for you to discover and develop your individual artistic talents, but also a medium that helps you to communicate, create art forms and reconnect with nature.

'I spent 10 years hiding depression on tours abroad'
I spent 10 years hiding depression on tours abroad I was close to taking the same decision as the England batsman but was scared of the reaction.
Published: 26th November 2013 05:29 PM | Last Updated: 26th November 2013 05:36 PM | A+A A-
"I know what Jonathan Trott is going through because I have been through it as well.
Nobody knows more than me what it is like to be depressed while you are on a cricket tour because I spent 10 years hiding it as homesickness.
I suffered from depression from an early age, long before my international cricket career began. I was not in a very good place whenever I toured, but there were probably two occasions where I thought I was going to have to make the decision Trotty has made.
At the time, nobody did that. It was not that I did not want to be the first one, I just did not believe I could say anything about how I was feeling. Somehow I managed to struggle through.
I said I was homesick and that was actually used as a stick to beat me with. It was not just homesickness, although that did not help. It is a chemical imbalance in the brain
and it is something I battled with for years. It tended to be inflamed when I was away from home because I did miss people, I was lonely and I did not have my support network around me.
When Marcus Trescothick went public with his depression, I was glad somebody had made that step, but I still did not think I could because, by that stage, I felt if I said I was depressed I was one bad game away from being finished as an international cricketer.
I wish I had said more, but I was scared of the reaction It is a tough, tough place to be. You feel alone, insecure, isolated and you feel as though the world is swallowing you up, that you are wading through treacle. You do not want to eat, you do not want to drink and you rarely sleep. The nights become longer and longer because you are awake for most of them.
It is so, so tough. I can remember sleepless nights in hotel rooms where I would be in tears and then going out to play the next day.
I think the big difference with me and Jonathan is that my refuge was on the field. When I was playing, I was happy. I liked training, I loved the matches, but I hated days off, any time I was on my own for a long period. It was the moments when I was alone that it would engulf me. I used to surround myself with people. I took a dartboard with me so that people would come to my room after training or a day's play. I was comfortable with people around, it was when I was alone that the world caved in.
Jonathan is different because he has found it tough to play. He has had the ball hurtling at him at 90mph and when you are going through this, the body does not move. You freeze, the stomach is churning, you become blind and the brain is muddled.
It did not surprise me when it all came out because Jonathan Trott was not the same player. He was always so cool, calm and collected. His mind is scrambled and that is what this illness does to you.
I am out of the game of cricket now, but this thing carries on. I am on top of it, but it has been hard and it still needs managing.
You feel as though there is no light at the end of the tunnel, but there is. The best thing he could have done is this. He will be at home surrounded by people who care for him, his family, friends and his club. He will feel good about himself in two or three days, but that is not the end.
He has identified there is a problem, now he has to get himself mentally and physically right. He has to forget cricket, he has to look after and repair the human being. There will be a lot of relief when he gets home, but it will be temporary if he does not seek professional help.
There are a few of us in the game he can speak to, but if he never plays international cricket again and is happy, that is a better outcome than playing and suffering. Hopefully he will be back, but the only person who can sort it out is Jonathan.

'Winning' starred Paul Newman and a cast of Hoosiers
Hundreds showed up at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway to appear in the movie with Newman, Joanne Woodward and Robert Wagner.
'Winning' starred Paul Newman and a cast of Hoosiers Hundreds showed up at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway to appear in the movie with Newman, Joanne Woodward and Robert Wagner. Check out this story on pal-item.com: https://indy.st/2rlgiHw
Dawn Mitchell, Indianapolis Star Published 12:54 p.m. ET May 4, 2018 | Updated 7:57 a.m. ET May 22, 2019
The "snake pit" at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway is notorious for the rowdy, drunken crowds, but the infield at Churchill Downs during the Kentucky Derby is not as genteel as you might think. Dawn Mitchell, dawn.mitchell@indystar.com

How often can one say, "I was in a movie with Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward"? Hundreds in Indianapolis had that chance in 1968 for the filming of Winning.
Sure, you may have been a speck in a sea of people, but you were there, pretending to be horrified at a staged wreck or elated when the checkered flag dropped for Paul Newman. So go ahead, call yourself an actor.
Newman starred in two movies in 1969 and they couldn't have been any more different. He was a notorious outlaw in "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" and a race-car driver in "Winning." "Winning" also had a lifelong impact on his life.
Newman played driver Frank Capua, who married the character Elora, played by (Newman's real wife) Joanne Woodward. In the movie, she had a 15-year-old son (Richard Thomas, in his first role). Robert Wagner portrayed Luther Erding, a teammate and rival of Capua, who complicates matters by getting involved with Woodward's character.

Despite the star power of the movie, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway was the real star of the film, but it wasn't the first time it had a starring role. The speedway has starred in several films from "Speedway" (1929) to "Turbo" in 2013.
It's been 50 years since Newman, Wagner and Woodward attended the Indianapolis 500 to prepare. Newman and Wagner even attended the drivers' meeting prior to the race. Universal Pictures placed eight cameras at strategic spots around and above the track and another camera in the Goodyear blimp. Goodyear, along with Ford, Autolite and Put Oil, invested heavily in the movie. Cameras mounted on the Ford Torino pace car filmed crowd shots around the track before qualifications. The car that Newman drove was a replica of the car Bobby Unser drove to victory lane in 1968.
The movie also included footage from the start of the 1966 race, in which Billy Foster lost control after the green flag dropped, spinning into the outside wall, triggering a spectacular pileup that involved 14 vehicles.

A week after the race, director Jim Goldstone and the Universal crew turned the speedway into a Hollywood set. Filming lasted through July 18.
Because the speedway garages were too small for the cameras, a large garage for shooting purposes was erected on site. Shooting also took place in George Bignotti's shop and at a stock car race at Indianapolis Raceway Park. Other shooting locations included Elkhart Lake, Wis., and Riverside, Calif.

Extras were paid $15 a day with a dollar allowance for lunch and were hired to pretend they were at the 500-Mile Race. Casey Carden was pretty young when his mother took him and his sister to be a part of the crowd scene. He only remembers a bit of direction given to a woman in the crowd, "Lady, don't look at the camera. Look at the cars!"
The old Speedway Motel had a cameo in one of the more memorable scenes from the movie, when Newman's character, Frank Capua, returns to the motel after leaving Gasoline Alley and catches Woodward and Wagner in bed in Room 212.

If you like to look for irregularities in movies, you may have noticed that Newman ascends a stairway on the side of the motel. Former racing promoter Bill Marvel, a technical adviser on the movie, noted that the Universal crew built a stairway leading up to that room just for that scene, a prop that was later removed after filming. Paul Newman also is shown in the bar scene casually walking around with the 153-pound Borg-Warner Trophy. It was actually a $4,500 plastic replica that weighed less than 15 pounds.
Two-time Indianapolis 500 winner Rodger Ward also served as a technical adviser for the film, as did Offenhauser developer Herb Porter. Newman and Wagner were two of the first students at Bob Bondurant's Driving School at the Orange County International Raceway in Santa Ana, Calif. Bondurant also drove the camera car which filmed the race scenes.
Newman's experiences with Bondurant and during filming at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway fueled his love of racing, "the first thing that I ever found I had any grace in," Newman once quipped. A few years after filming "Winning," Newman won several national championships as a driver in the Sports Car Club of American road racing and would later team with Carl Haas in Newman/Haas Racing in the IndyCar series.
Newman was a natural in the driver's seat and was clocked doing 180 mph down the backstretch. Former Indy 500 veteran and sprint car driver, Bruce Walkup, who was Newman's double in the movie, saw first-hand Newman's growing love of the sport, "Paul loved to go fast and the more he got into it the more he loved racing," he said.
While Robert Wagner was known to keep to himself, Newman was a social guy that liked to wander around a have a few St Pauli Girl beers (his drink of choice). "Paul would get recognized wherever he would go, so he wore a fake cast so he wouldn't have to sign autographs," laughed Walkup.
Walkup and Newman's friendship lasted until Newman's death in 2008. Newman even left his original script of "Winning" to Walkup in the actor's will.
Faces you might recognize: Tony Hulman, Bobby Unser, Bobby Grim, Dan Gurney, Roger McCluskey, Lou Palme and starter Pat Vedan. Mimi Littlejohn, 1968 Indy 500 queen, planted a substantial victory kiss on Newman after winning the race.

IT'S A FAKE! Analyst Says Judge Roy Moore Signature Inside Gloria Allred Accuser's Yearbook Was FORGED
By Joshua Caplan
Published November 13, 2017 at 9:36pm
Known for his insightful take on politics, journalist and author Thomas Wictor believes Judge Roy Moore's signature in Gloria Allred accuser Beverly Young Nelson's yearbook is a forgery.
The sevens in 1977 to the right of "Christmas," are very different from the sevens in the date (12-22-77) above "Old Hickory House."
"Look at the two versions of the number "7," tweeted Wictor.
""12-22-77" and "Olde Hickory House" were written by a different person," he added.
Next, Wictor points out "the "R" and "y" in "Roy,"" are not written the same way.
The inflection of the "Y" is more pronounced in Moore' signature as Chief Justice. The "R" is noticeably longer in the signature of Chief Justice, as well.

Here's another side by side of Moore's signatures…
The one on the right looks a lot more like his Chief Justice signature.

In addition, Wictor points out the restaurant where Nelson alleges the incident took place was "forged," incorrectly.
""Old Hickory House" in Gadsden was never called "Olde Hickory House." The person who forged the signature got the name wrong," claims Wictor.
The "forged," signature also ends with "D.A."
There's one problem…
Moore was a Deputy District Attorney (DDA) at this time.

"During his legal career, Judge Moore became the first full-time Deputy District Attorney in Etowah County, Alabama, and served in this position from 1977 until 1982. In 1984, Judge Moore undertook private practice of law in Gadsden, Alabama," states Moore's bio on his campaign website.
"The accuser to this day calls him the District Attorney. He was NEVER District attorney. He was DEPUTY DA. DDA," says Wictor.
When pressed on whether he truly believes the signature is a forgery, Wictor replied, "In my opinion, the signature is forged. The "Olde Hickory House" and date were DEFINITELY written by someone else. No question whatsoever."
Then there's this– Who signs a yearbook in December?
Nelson, 56, held a press conference in New York with embattled attorney Gloria Allred on Monday, alleging Judge Roy Moore sexually harassed her when she was 16 years old.
On Monday evening, Judge Moore vehemently denied Nelson's accusations.
Here's what he told the press:
MOORE: "Thank ya'll for being here tonight. Thank-you to all the people have came out at this late hour and for being here. I want to address what's been brought out on television today by Gloria Allred and a client she has about things I allegedly did. I want to make it perfectly clear, the people of Alabama know me, they know my character, they know what I've stood for in the political world for over 40-years. I can tell you without hesitation, this is absolutely false. I never did what she said I did. I don't even know the woman. I don't know anything about her. I don't even know where the restaurant is or was. If you look at this situation you'll see because I'm eleven or ten points or eleven points ahead, this race being just 28 days off, that this is a political maneuver and has nothing to do with reality. It's all about politics."

Judge Roy Moore is under siege from the mainstream media and political class after the Washington Post published sexual advancement allegations against the Alabama GOP Senate candidate.
On Thursday the far left Washington Post accused Judge Moore of dating a 14 year-old girl in 1979.
Judge Moore has denied the charges and says he's going to reveal the motivations behind the WaPo hit piece in the next few days.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell told reporters today that Moore should drop out of the race.
When asked if he believes the allegations, McConnell replied, "I believe the women, yes."
Moore responded to McConnell on Twitter, saying "The person who should step aside is @SenateMajLdr Mitch McConnell. He has failed conservatives and must be replaced. #DrainTheSwamp"

Q: Set table equal to CTE I have a table A, that I regularly want to update from another table B.
I can create a CTE from B that looks exactly like I want table A to look like, but I can't find the syntax for setting A equal to CTE. What I want is something like this:
WITH cte AS (
    SELECT *,
        ARRAY_AGG(column_name),
        ...
    FROM B
)
UPDATE A
SET
    A = cte
FROM cte

A: you should provide some condition and columns names:
WITH cte AS (
    SELECT *,
        ARRAY_AGG(column_name),
        ...
    FROM B
)
UPDATE A
SET
  --You need to name the columns
    A.column1 = cte.column1,
    A.column2 = cte.column2
FROM cte
  --You need to provide some condition
where A.id=cte.ID

Or do you want to replace table A completely?
WITH cte AS (
    SELECT *,
        ARRAY_AGG(column_name),
        ...
    FROM B
)

delete from A
where 1=1

Breaking News: Ben & Jerry's Franchisee To Pay $21,360 In Back Wages & Fines After Child Labor Violations
Hey Compliance Warriors! MYRTLE BEACH, SC – While the operator of six South Carolina ice cream franchise locations sold customers frozen treats, a federal investigation has gotten 61 workers their just desserts – a total of $16,250 in back wages – for the employer's failure to pay overtime at six Myrtle Beach locations.
U.S. Department of Labor Wage and Hour Division investigators found Bryers of MB Inc. and Rowland Dairies Inc. – which operate six Ben & Jerry's locations – paid the workers straight-time for all the hours that they worked, violating the Fair Labor Standards Act by failing to pay overtime when workers' hours exceeded 40 in a workweek.
In addition to the wage violations, the division also assessed the employer a $5,110 civil money penalty for violations of child labor requirements after the employer allowed two 12-year-olds to operate snow-cone stands, a violation of federal law that governs minimum ages for non-agricultural work. The employer also failed to keep accurate records detailing the dates of birth for the minor workers, and the number of hours some employees worked.
"Employers must ensure they pay workers all the wages they have earned, including overtime, and must pay special attention to the rules about minor employees," said Wage and Hour Division District Director Jamie Benefiel, in Columbia, South Carolina. "The Wage and Hour Division is committed to keeping young employees safe in the workplace. This case should serve as notice to other employers who may employ minors in similar conditions to ensure they comply, and to ensure they pay all workers their rightful wages."
The division offers numerous resources to ensure employers have the tools they need to understand their responsibilities and to comply with federal law, such as online videos and confidential calls to local Wage and Hour Division offices. Learn more about the FLSA. Contact the Wage and Hour Division toll-free at 866-4US-WAGE (487-9243) for more information.

Le chlorure de chromyle est un composé inorganique de la famille des oxychlorures, de formule CrO2Cl2. Il se présente sous la forme d'un liquide rouge sang foncé, opaque dans les conditions normales de température et de pression. Il fume également en présence d'humidité.

Propriétés

Le chlorure de chromyle possède une géométrie moléculaire tétraédrique, assez proche de celle du chlorure de sulfuryle (SO2Cl2) et de celle du plus commun des composés de chrome(VI), l'ion chromate ([CrO4]2−). Si ce dernier et le chlorure de chromyle partagent une structure similaire et le fait d'être tous les deux des composés du chrome(VI), leurs autres propriétés diffèrent assez largement. Tout d'abord le chlorure de chromyle est un liquide et une molécule neutres, alors que le chromate est une espèce ionique qui a tendance à former des sels. De plus, CrO2Cl2 est un oxydant bien plus fort que [CrO4]2−, ce qui peut être mis sur le compte de la nature anionique de ce dernier, ce qui réduit son affinité électronique. Le chlorure est aussi un moins bon donneur π que l'oxyde.

CrO2Cl2 étant une espèce moléculaire neutre, ses différentes molécules, tant à l'état liquide qu'à l'état solide, interagissent principalement par des forces de Van der Waals. La faiblesse de telles liaisons est la cause de ses bas points de fusion et d'ébullition, et font que le chlorure de chromyle est un liquide pouvant être distillé.

Le chlorure de chromyle se décompose violemment en présence d'eau, dégageant en particulier du chlorure d'hydrogène. Il tend aussi à se décomposer lorsqu'il est chauffé. Il présente des risques d'explosion en présence de chlore, d'azoture de sodium, de phosphore en conditions humides et plus rarement en présence de trichlorure de phosphore. Il réagit dangereusement avec les hydrures, l'ammoniac, l'urée, le soufre et ses composés, comme le disulfure d'hydrogène, le sulfure de calcium ou le dichlorure de soufre, le tribromure de phosphore, le chlorure de phosphoryle, les substances combustibles, les substances organiques en général et les hydrocarbures en particulier, les réducteurs, et un grand nombre de solvants incluant l'eau, l'acétone, l'éther diéthylique, l'éthanol, le glycol, les hydrocarbures halogénés, le méthanol, la pyridine...

CrO2Cl2 est hautement électrophile et un oxydant agressif, étant par exemple capable de provoquer des combustions spontanées par simple contact avec du soufre amorphe. Il peut aussi oxyder le toluène en benzaldéhyde. Sa forte électrophile peut être démontrée par son hydrolyse rapide  donnant de l'acide chromique et de l'acide chlorhydrique :

CrO2Cl2 + 2H2O → H2CrO4 + 2HCl

Synthèse

CrO2Cl2 peut être synthétisé par réaction entre le chlorure d'hydrogène et le trioxyde de chrome :

CrO3 + 2 HCl  → CrO2Cl2 + H2O

Il peut aussi être produit par réaction entre l'acide sulfurique et chromate de potassium (K2CrO4), suivie par une réaction avec le chlorure de sodium et le dichromate de potassium, puis être obtenu par une distillation douce.

K2Cr2O7 + 4 NaCl + 6H2SO4 → 2 CrO2Cl2 + 2 KHSO4 + 4 NaHSO4 +3 H2O

Utilisation

Test de la présence de chlorures

Le test du chlorure de chromyle consiste à chauffer un échantillon suspecté de contenir des chlorures avec du dichromate de potassium et de l'acide sulfurique concentré. Si un chlorure est présent, du chlorure de chromyle se forme, sa présence étant indiquée par la formation de fumée rouge. En cas contraire, il n'y a évidemment pas de fumée rouge. Aucun composé analogue n'est formé en présence de fluorure, de bromure, d'iodure ou de cyanure, ce test est donc spécifique aux chlorures.

Oxydation des alcènes

Selon les solvants, CrO2Cl2 oxyde les alcènes terminaux en aldéhydes. Les alcènes internes donnent eux des alpha-chlorocétones ou des dérivés proches.

CrO2Cl2 attaque aussi les groupes méthyles benzyliques pour former des aldéhydes via la réaction d'Étard.

Autres

CrO2Cl2 peut aussi être utilisé pour tester l'absence d'ions nitrate.

CORAL ENHANCED ACCAS
Top jockey previews 2000 Guineas
Laraaib ran a massive race in the Brigadier Gerard. It was a big improvement on what he's done so far. It was a big step forward.
Poet's Word is a very good horse and ours is still an inexperienced horse so it was a great first run of the season.
Gabr also ran well in the Heron Stakes. It was a cracking performance as the ground would have been too soft for him as well.
We had a good Newmarket last Friday, with three winners and a second, and things have kept going well all week.
I had a couple of winners at Goodwood on Thursday during the afternoon including a nice two year old trained by Charlie Hills called Mutawaffer who would be a very good ride at Royal Ascot.
We have some nice ones to look forward to.
3.35 Curragh – Weatherbys Ireland Greenland Stakes (Group 2)
Tasleet
He missed his engagement in the Duke of York stakes last week and has come here instead. He will have a very good chance in this race.
Last year he was ultra-consistent and his only blip was in the July Cup which turned into a silly race.
He was second in four Group 1s so he brings some very strong form to the table here and must have a very good chance.
He is best with a bit of cut in the ground. He has run on Good to Firm, in fact he won on it at Chepstow on one occasion, but his best form is on easier ground.
I just hope it's not too quick over there. If it's good ground we will be fine.
4.10 Curragh – Tattersalls Irish 2000 Guineas (Group 1)
Elarqam
This is a good race. I thought US Navy Flag ran very well in France last time and I can see why Ryan Moore has decided to ride him.
He had to use him from a high draw which didn't help him. He's a Group One winner too. Elarqam finished in front of Gustav Klimt at Newmarket and I'd like to think I'd maintain that form.
That said you never know with Aidan O'Brien horses as he's just a genius of a trainer. There are a few horses in the race that I hope don't get in the way, and we get a smooth trip round, and if we do then he'll run a huge race.
I don't want to be too bullish as it's a Group 1, it's a Classic, and anything could happen. All I can say is that Elarqam is going to the race in good form, and whilst Classics are never easy to win, he deserves to be favourite.
He has the strongest form in the race. I'm just hoping for a nice clean race. I'm really looking forward to it.
I've ridden in both the Irish 2000 Guineas and the Irish 1000 Guineas on a few occasions so I know the track well.

Jim Crowley began his flat racing career as an amateur before switching to National Hunt racing, where he landed approximately 300 winners. He then returned to the flat to ride for sister-in-law Amanda Perrett. After years of hard work, Jim was finally rewarded when we won the 2016 Stobart Flat Jockey Championship with an incredible 148 winners. That was followed by a lucrative retained partnership with leading owner Sheikh Hamdan al-Maktoum, for whom he is the no.1 jockey.

Cincinnati needs a new District 5 Police headquarters. It's that simple. Picking the best location is where it gets tricky.
Last Monday, Mayor Cranley unveiled a new plan to build a new District 5 station on what is currently the College Hill Plaza, located right next to the current Engine 51 fire station. This comes after it has been widely reported over the last year that the District 5 headquarters would be relocated to the "Permit Center" on Central Parkway.
We agree with Cranley and the Fraternal Order of Police that the Permit Center is not a suitable long-term home for District 5. The city should not invest at least $10 million to renovate a building that will leave the city in the same position 10 or 20 years down the road – a retrofitted building that was not built to be a police station. We have been lobbying to have the new headquarters located in College Hill for several years.
Moving the new District 5 headquarters to College Hill next to Engine 51 will create a government plaza that will be anchor and enhance the southern end of the College Hill business district, it will complement the development that is going on in the mid-business district where Brink Brewing Co. opened this last year and Marlowe Court, Tortilleria Garcia and Kiki which will all open next year, and it will complement the $30 million-plus development at the northern end of our business district – College Hill Station.
On top of the community development impact, College Hill provides a centralized location to high-call areas around the district thanks to the main arteries of North Bend Road and Hamilton Avenue, which run right through the heart of College Hill. And, we have the site already under option for the city to be able to acquire.
It's hard to imagine a better place for the headquarters within District 5 in terms of potential community development impact, police operations and constructability.
However, we hear and agree with the concerns of several members of City Council, our neighbors and friends around the rest of the district that more community input is needed. This is too big of a decision to rush.
Through a community engagement and planning process, each neighborhood in the district can participate in determining where the headquarters should be located. The process would allow every neighborhood in District 5 to identify sites they think would be fitting for the new headquarters. Once proposals have been submitted, a panel of impartial individuals and District 5 representatives can be convened to review the applications, host community forums to hear feedback, and select the new home for District 5.
While additional input and engagement are necessary, this process cannot spend years lost in red tape and city politics. Our communities and leaders need to get the ball rolling today. Our police deserve better than a quick fix job at the Permit Center. Let's put the quick fix renovation on hold, allocate the additional $7 million today so we have the full $17 million set aside to allow the communities to properly budget for their proposal, set some timelines to make decisions, and break ground as soon as possible.
There is no reason not to start this process and see it through to completion in the next several months. Our police deserve a proper home to protect our communities. By coming together we can find the best spot for the new District 5 headquarters.

As the Singapore Biennale 2011 moves into its final week, The UrbanWire susses out 10 era-conscious exhibits that go beyond the usual sculpture and canvas.
The Singapore Biennale 2011 Open House has certainly been a magnet for controversy. First, there was the Simon Fujiwara fiasco. Then, others questioned the choice of works and exhibition locations, which were spread across the Singapore Art Museum, National Museum of Singapore, Old Kallang Airport and Marina Bay. Visitor numbers have also struggled to match up with those from past Biennales.
However, don't let all the bad press put you off from paying the Open House a visit, which closes soon on 15 May. Instead of rubbing shoulders with the long queues outside Tatzu Nishi's Merlion Hotel, hop on the Biennale shuttle bus and you may just uncover some bizarre gems that are far removed from the usual art-gallery fare of sculptures and paintings.
From witnessing the flooding of a McDonald's outlet to generating radio signals with your moving shadow, there's surely lots to do at the Biennale. The UrbanWire rounds up 10 bizarre favourites that resonate strongly in this day and age.
1. Jill Magid, Evidence Locker (2004). National Museum of Singapore.
In a work that recalls the urban paranoia of George Orwell's 1984, watch CCTV footage of Magid as she walks through Liverpool city, with her movements captured by public surveillance cameras under the watchful eyes of the city police.
To further underscore the tenuous relationship between the watchers and the watched, Magid, at one point in the project, walks through the city with her eyes closed and with a policeman's voice giving her directions through an earpiece.
2. Superflex, Flooded McDonald's (2008). National Museum of Singapore.
It all begins very innocently—a fluorescent, shiny and deserted McDonald's outlet, complete with a benevolent Ronald McDonald bidding you welcome.
However, the relative safety and security of this happy fast-food haven is shattered when water begins to seep into the room and Ronald McDonald slides into the flood, leading to a destructive, watery climax. Themes of environmental destruction, globalisation and commercialism abound in this 21-minute film by art collective Superflex.
3. Michael Lin, What a Difference a Day Made (1998). Old Kallang Airport.
Never thought your neighbourhood mama shop could become an arts exhibit? Well, think again. Step into a bygone era when you enter this quaint re-creation of a local hardware store, filled with the often-neglected necessities of running a household. To create this installation, the artist actually purchased the entire contents of the Xin Wang daily goods store.
4. Rafael Lozano-Hemmer, Frequency and Volume: Relational Architecture 9 (2003). Old Kallang Airport.
Don't be alarmed when you walk through Rafael Lozano-Hemmer's installation only to be blasted with ear-splitting radio screeches for every step that you take. This is because a computerised tracking system is detecting the shadow that your body casts onto the wall, transforming your shadow into an antenna and enabling you to tune into various radio frequencies.
A technological triumph that is both sonic and visual, Frequency examines the individual's relationship with and ownership of the public realm, including the radioelectric spectrum.
5. Dane Mitchell, The Dragon, The Purple Forbidden Enclosure (2011). Installation. Old Kallang Airport.
Calling all feng-shui freaks and aficionados of the supernatural! Spray some feng-shui water on your forehead, provided at the entrance, and step into this spiritual realm.
Mitchell, bearing in mind Old Kallang Airport's rich history, created this installation with the help of a local medium who identified and demarcated the "special energies" in the room, mapped with the artist's Zodiac sign of the Dragon.
6. Rubén Ramos Balsa, Orquesta de Musicos Callejeros (Orchestra of Street Musicians), (2007-11). Old Kallang Airport.
Set against a backdrop of antique furniture and dusty cement floors, Ramos Balsa's technological experimentations seem like an anachronism—and yet, a fitting vision of the future of music performance. Ramos Balsa recorded different street musicians at work, and pieced together an electronic orchestra of sorts by playing their performances on tiny MP3 players.
7. Charles Lim, All Lines Flow Out (2011). Installation with video. Old Kallang Airport.
Where does our waste water go once it flows down the drain and out of sight? This question dominates Charles Lim's work as he traces the path of water along Singapore's underground waterways.
Drainage socks help trap rubbish as water rushes through them in drains. Lim uses the debris collected, such as leaves and the occasional deflated soccer ball, to create two 3-metre long 'drainage socks'. These reflect the unseen realities behind Singapore's water system, which is often taken for granted.
8. Charles Sandison, Through a Glass Darkly (2011). Old Kallang Airport.
In a dark, cavernous and eerily silent room, Charles Sandison creates a visual spectacle by projecting animated computer-generated text that ebb and flow at astonishing speeds. These words come alive and form human figures on the wall, standing, walking, reclining and crumbling into yet another mass of words, in the four main languages of Singapore.
9. Roslisham Isham aka Ise, Secret Affair (2011). Singapore Art Museum.
They say that you are what you eat, so Roslisham Isham invites you to get to know six ethnically diverse Singaporean families—just by peeking into their refrigerators.
Fully operational and stocked with real food, this circle of fridges are each attached with a small screen playing a video that details the shopping process of each family.
By looking into this private sphere, gain a unique insight into the inner workings of different cultures and the common thread of mass consumption that runs through them all.
10. Ryan Trecartin, Re'Search Wait'S (2009-10). Singapore Art Museum.
Brace yourself for an unforgiving sensory assault when you watch Ryan Trecartin's videos. Noted for his rapid-fire editing, saturated colours and non-linear storytelling, Trecartin creates a nightmarish world where everything is transient and superficial. With a manic cast of helium-voiced, garishly made-up characters, Re'Search Wait'S reflects an era that is obsessed over speed, fame, materialism and celebrity.
The Singapore Biennale 2011 Open House runs from 13 March to 15 May 2011 at the Singapore Art Museum, National Museum of Singapore, Old Kallang Airport and Marina Bay.

Arkansas Anglers Can Look Forward to Catching Bigger Bass in a Few Years
Florida-strain largemouth fingerlings will soon be stocked in Lake Ouachita
By Bob McNally | Published Apr 16, 2021 5:00 PM
Florida-strain largemouths, caught in Texas, which has also seen success with stocking the strain. James Hall
Arkansas bass anglers should be catching bigger fish in the years to come, thanks to an expanding stocking program of Florida-strain largemouths into Lake Ouachita, near Hot Springs.
According to the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission, Florida-strain bass have been stocked in Ouachita since 2007. But this year more and bigger fingerlings are slated to be turned loose in the sprawling 66,000-acre reservoir. About 50,000 Florida bass fingerlings measuring 2 inches long will be stocked in a special state-run nursery pond. The pond will hold fathead minnows to serve as bass forage, allowing largemouths to grow fast.

"They'll be stocked in late May or June, and can eat nursery pond minnows without competition," says Brett Hobbs, district fisheries supervisor at the AGFC Hot Springs office. "By the time [the fingerlings] are released into Lake Ouachita this fall, they likely will be about 4 inches average length."
Hobbs says the pond-raised larger fingerling Florida bass will survive better in Lake Ouachita than smaller fingerlings, and should increase trophy fish potential sooner.

An additional 100,000 Florida bass fingerlings will be stocked directly in Lake Ouachita. Some will be released from boats by interested anglers; others by hatchery trucks to areas deemed suitable—areas with lots of weeds and cover—for fingerling survival.
Florida black bass have potential to reach larger sizes faster in suitable waters than native northern-strain largemouths. Florida bass grow at the same rate as native northern largemouth bass for their first three years, but then continue growing at a faster rate later in life than their northern counterparts, which tend to lag behind.
Read Next: The Science on Why Bass Are Getting Harder to Catch
Many other waters around the nation have used Florida-strain largemouths for stocking, and the results have been outstanding. One of the most notable success stories is Lake Fork Reservoir near Dallas. Lake Fork was established by the Texas Parks and Wildlife, as a premier bass fishing lake, with 732,514 Florida-strain largemouth bass stocked from 1979 through 1987. Over the years, many Lake Fork bass weighing over 10 pounds have been caught, with the top four fish each ranging from 17.5 to more than 18 pounds.
Oklahoma and Tennessee also have had good success improving the size of their catches by stocking Florida-strain largemouths, with many of the TVA impoundments receiving such fish. Lake Ouachita anglers can look forward to similar results in a few years.

Disappointments
There's going to be lots of Dems celebrating today, and with good reason. Overall the Democrats had a very good night last night. So I won't bother going into that much myself. (If you want a sense for the scope of the Democratic sweep, read this.) Instead, I'd like to say a few words about some of the results that I find personally disappointing.
In OH-02, Mean Jean Schmidt (of "decorated Marine veteran John Murtha is a coward" infamy) squeaked out a victory over Victoria Wulsin, 51%-49%. This is the same district that chose Schmidt over veteran Paul Hackett in 2005. The obvious question is, why does Cincinnati hate our troops?
In IL-06, Pete Roskam narrowly beat disabled veteran Tammy Duckworth, 51%-49%. I guess in that district saying that you "support our troops" counts for more than actually, you know, losing both legs in Iraq.
In MN-06, the certifiably insane Michele Bachmann took the win over Patty Wetterling, 50%-42%.
And the biggest disappointment of all: Holy Joe Lieberman beat Democrat Ned Lamont, 50%-40%. According to exit polls, fully 71% of registered Republicans voted for Lieberman over the actual Republican candidate, Alan Schlesinger. More shameful, 32% of registered Democrats did too — despite Lieberman's flipping them the bird by refusing to bow out when he lost the Democratic primary.
The real shame of Lieberman, though, adheres not to the voters of Connecticut, but to the national Democratic leadership. They did practically nothing to support Lamont, despite the fact that he was the elected Democratic candidate. Instead, they chose to support Lieberman, who's become the Dennis Miller of the Senate, making a mini-career of sucking up to the GOP. That gave those 32% of Democrats the impression that Lieberman was still a Democrat too. (I wonder if those 71% of Republicans would agree with that.)
If the DSCC had run ads in Connecticut saying "Despite what he wants you to think, Joe Lieberman isn't the Democratic candidate. Ned Lamont is. Vote Lamont on November 7", don't you think they could have shaved 10 percent off that Democratic support? I sure think so.
The fact that they chose to support an entrenched incumbent whose whole campaign was based on spite over losing a Democratic primary — rather than the candidate who the Democrats of Connecticut actually endorsed — is simply pathetic. Why do we bother voting in primaries if the party won't help the candidates who win them? Why not just let the DSCC crown whomever they like as "Democrats"?
There's a lot of celebrating for Democrats to do today. But there's also some hard questions that we need to make sure aren't forgotten in the process. Here's hoping that no Democratic candidate ever again has to endure such shabby treatment from the Democratic Party as Ned Lamont did this year.
Dead on (of course) with the CT situation. What a farce.
Despite the overall good news last night, why do I keep hearing the last line of "The Candidate" over and over again in my head in the collective voices of Nancy Pelosi, Rahm Emanuel, Harry Reid and Chuck Schumer?
If I was Bush, I'd fire Rumsfeld, appoint Lieberman Sec. of Def., and have the republican Gov of Conneticut appoint a republican to the Senate. bwah ha ha!
Also, Joe had no money from the dems, and Lamont is millionare. So don't cry for him so much. Lamontdecided to introduce himself on his primary victory with Sharpton standing beside him. He continued to campaign as a left wing radical in a moderat new england state. Lieberman beat him, and why would the should the party be spending party money in Conneticutt, to defeat a loyal democrat, when that would take money away from Tester, Webb and others who needed it to beat actual republicans?
"why would the should the party be spending party money in Conneticutt, to defeat a loyal democrat…"
A "loyal democrat" would have bowed out after losing the party primary and endorsed the party's elected nominee. Not set up shop as an independent candidate and split the Dem vote just to feed his own ego.
And the party could have supported Lamont very well without spending a dime. Just parade Chuck Schumer, Bill Clinton, Barack Obama and all the rest of the Traveling Road-Show All-Stars through CT singing Lamont's praises, rather than Lieberman's. The fact that all these luminaries were out there stumping FOR Lieberman AGAINST the Democratic candidate is beyond pathetic.
the only guy I saw stumping for Lieberman after the primary was the Mayor of New York, and he's a republican, technically.
In fairness, I shouldn't have lumped Obama in there. I did some digging and found he did stump with Lamont in the general.
As to the others, it's not so much what they did do as what they didn't do. They wouldn't raise money for Lamont. They wouldn't stump for Lamont. They wouldn't criticize Lieberman or call on him to pull out of the race. Here's some links:

Hey everyone, It's Kara from A Kailo Chic Life, and I am so excited to share a simple, family-friendly craft with you today. The weather is beginning to warm up and spring flowers are starting to bloom. That means more time outdoors playing in the longer daylight hours: kicking a ball, riding bikes, or even going on a hike with the family. These nature walk kids collage bracelets are the perfect way to keep the kids occupied, awaken their creative side, and just get them appreciating the little things all around them in nature. The best part? They only require scissors and a piece of sticky back foam!
Before you begin your walk, simply cut the sticky back foam sheets (can be found at the craft store) into 3″ or so wide strips, remove the paper backing and make into a cuff bracelet sticky side out. The kids (and adults) can slip these onto their wrists to keep their hands free for collecting and sticking everything they find interesting to their bracelet.
Of course I had to try out the idea with my kids and they had a blast going around looking for interesting flower petals, leaves, grass, and even a few left over egg shells from our Easter confetti eggs! I love that everyone's bracelet was a true expression of who they are too. My 6 year old perfectionist daughter had a few neatly placed flower petals and clovers, my 3 year old son's was covered with dandelions, dead grass, leaves, and egg shells, and of course I covered mine with as many different colors as I could find.
After you are done with your walk, feel free to let the kids display their bracelets on a shelf or art wall. If they don't cover all the sticky portion of the bracelet with their finds, simply dust the bracelet with a bit of corn starch to take out some of the stickiness.
These nature walk kids collage bracelets are a great way to get everyone outside exploring their surroundings and taking in the beauty of nature. And they are truly as simple as that!
I hope you all enjoyed this easy family craft. Feel free to check out my blog, A Kailo Chic Life, for even more craft and DIY ideas.
I like it when kids go creative. This is one of the best things that i have come across since a long time. Just wanted to let you know that you are doing a great job and keep on sharing such amazing ideas.

Recapping Our "Modernizing Patient Engagement" Roundtable Discussion
by Cassidy Rimmey on April 6th, 2022 | ~ 8 minute read
Perficient and IBM recently partnered with BWG Connect to conduct a survey of 100+ healthcare professionals exploring technology adoption in the post-pandemic environment. Experts from these organizations joined a roundtable discussion to review what is top of mind for healthcare organizations in 2022 based on the responses to this study.
The panel was moderated by Aaron Conant, co-founder and managing director of BWG Connect, and a panel of experts that included:
Brendan Fowkes: Health Plan, CTO, IBM
Tom Lennon: Director, Healthcare Data & Analytics, Perficient
Eric Walk: Director, Knowledge, Data & Content, Perficient
A Focus on Equity in Healthcare
Fowkes shared that in a study IBM conducted with 39 Blue Cross Blue Shields, equitable distribution of health was top of mind in every single organization. Similarly, participants in the BWG survey frequently brought health equity into their answers. Our panelists took some time addressing concerns around the use of automation furthering this issue:
Brendan Fowkes: The respondents very quickly jumped into a discussion of health equity, equitable distribution of health care, and where the social determinants fit in. What did we see over the past 18 months? Our most vulnerable took the worst beating.
Tom Lennon: As we start to push into AI and leverage AI, just because you're using information around social determinants, it doesn't mean that you're going to drive equity. This is because the bias is inherent within AI until you can manage it and normalize. That bias is still going to be there. Learning how to use that and adapt it is important because that gives us the opportunity to help address some inequality. There's also the opportunity that it could make it worse because AI doesn't have the same feeling and natural intelligence as we would have when we're worried about different groups within our population.
Eric Walk: Yeah, that's where it's really important to think about the tools you're picking. Some AI tools have capabilities that help you identify bias in your models and others don't. Those priorities are critical as you're looking at the tools you're using and the way you're designing your models and thinking about building models. Another critical priority is educating your data scientists as you're training your people. People build the models. People build the algorithms. People train the algorithms. It's critical to train those people to think about these things and to be concerned about them and look out for the warning signs that there's an issue in a model that's exacerbating historical inequality.

Other Key Takeaways from the Research Study
The survey generated interesting data points around data privacy, communicating ROI, and gradual technology adoption, which the panelists also explored:
Privacy, Compliance, and Trustworthy AI
The research study revealed that many healthcare professionals had questions and concerns about the safeguarding of protected health information (PHI). The moderator opened this discussion with a question to the other panelists about protecting sensitive data when using automation.
BF: We use the term "trustworthy AI" because, if there's any violation of a patient's trust, you've lost everybody, whether it's the nurses, the call center agents, or the patients themselves. We start with that foundation and a core belief that everything has to be trustworthy from the start. There's no hidden "whatever else." You're not borrowing the data to go do something else.
If you start with that foundation at your core belief, you can start to overcome any of these objections. You're going to design a system with the proper security, privacy, and consent. Borrowing a little bit of what we've done on the academic side, you can use other examples to make sure that everything's secure when you're designing that trustworthy story.
Personalize Your Healthcare Marketing: Crawl, Walk, Run, Fly
Strategize, execute, and grow a personalization strategy that meets healthcare consumers where they are and drives better health outcomes.
EW: And how are you going to control the data? There are CRM options out there that have the proper certification security controls in place to allow you to load your PHI and secure it and control it appropriately. Even so, that may not be an option for any given organization. How can we take the AI and the machine learning models, and bring them to where the data is, so we have fewer concerns about shipping the data to other places for training and for executing those models? We can more tightly control how that data is being sent, where it's being sent, and how it's being used.
You're going to have more challenges in terms of just making sure you understand the way each of those solutions controls and secures PHI because a good number of them are compliant in various ways. Or you can look to other options that allow you to maintain trust through the whole chain of custody of the data by using more complex and nuanced solutions. That allows you to take your modeling and do it where and when you need it.
TL: Yeah, that governance is important, especially as you put it where we're sending that data. You must make sure that we're able to limit the exposure in one place and send the information so it doesn't have exposure all over the place. Trying to manage that when it gets throughout your entire organization can be quite tricky.
READ NOW: HIPAA Compliance and Protecting PHI
Communicating ROI When Consolidating to One CRM
The panelists anticipate that the 81% of survey participants who see the value in consolidating to one CRM may have trouble calculating quantifiable value in doing so. They then discussed several ways that this 81% can effectively communicate ROI.
EW: There's an opportunity to save some money and optimize your operations. But it is a question of how realistic it is and how much you're going to spend to get there. So, I think that it can feel like the ROI is too far away. But there are some interesting opportunities that come from replacing the black box technology that comes with some of the less fully functional and less fully capable, but industry-specific platforms, and looking at the more enterprise full-spectrum platforms. So, it's going to be an interesting journey as folks go down that way.
BF: And there's definitely value there. But it's hard to quantify, as Eric was just saying. So, to the 81% that see value in it, our advice is understand articulating your savings by retiring legacy applications, like some of these more black boxed pre-configured things that lack flexibility, as Eric was describing. What are you paying a year in applications like those? That'll be an easy way to get to an ROI.
What does success look like when you're having these conversations? Having a definable metric, and if we're doing call centers, there's metrics there that are pretty easily and widely accepted: cost per call, number of calls, deflection, and average handle time. You can put some hard ROI around that. But other ones are sometimes a little harder.
Our recommendation and our experience is let's agree what success looks like before you define the use case you want to chase. Our recommendation is to find what the outcome is you want to measure, because you can't fix what you can't measure. So, we need to measure to prove it worked and then that success will build on itself.

A Crawl-Walk-Run Approach to Technology Adoption
Many see adopting this technology as a daunting task and a huge undertaking. The round table moderator addressed this by asking the other panelists how they are breaking down the process for clients who don't think they have the bandwidth to begin any work with machine learning.
EW: You can do this use case-by-use case. You can tackle one challenge in one area with this kind of technology and slowly expand it. The upfront cost of dealing with security concerns and ethical concerns is lower than you might expect. If your use case is sufficiently simple, dealing with the additional concerns of more complicated use cases becomes incremental cost. The overhead there is not going to be huge and it's not going to sink your plan to expand out into other areas.
BF: I call it "crawl-walk-run;" other people use "land-and-expand" or "start small." Whatever metaphor you want to use, there's a way to take something simple. An example was middle-aged men not taking blood pressure medication. If you looked at socioeconomic factors in that model, and we predicted not adherence, it would ship them a three-month supply and give them a call to tell them it's coming. It's not a complex prediction. It didn't take a lot of work. What's the generic cost, about 30 dollars to keep somebody adhering?
There still is true machine learning in the model. We did a whole scatter plot where we can look at all these different techniques and pick the right model that was most accurate. But it wasn't a complex use case. It was just a different way of using the data they had and then helping them automate something to drive a benefit at the same time. So, it is all about crawl-walk-run.

Daytime Emmy Awards Combine Younger Actor & Actress Categories, Updates
Amy Mistretta
Image: Emmy®
Longtime Daytime categories will no longer be separate.
Updated on October 31: Though back in August, Soaps.com reported that the Younger Actor and Younger Actress category would be combined for the 2020 Daytime Emmy Awards into one category – Outstanding Younger Performer – President and CEO of NATAS Adam Sharp has addressed the change, as well as the fact that, "performers eligible in gendered acting categories are encouraged to enter the one that best fits their gender identity." Scott Turner Schofield, the first openly transgender actor on daytime (The Bold and the Beautiful, Nick) also weighed in.
"Transgender, non-binary, and gender non-conforming people consistently find ourselves on the outside in Hollywood, in a variety of ways," said Scott Turner Schofield. "This thoughtful inclusion shows NATAS paying attention, listening, and doing the work of increasing inclusion-which will increase acceptance in Hollywood and beyond. I know I am not the only one who feels more proud than ever to be a member of the daytime community because of this positive change."
More: Adam Sharp explains why Daytime Emmys aren't televised
"The changes we have instituted for this year's Daytime Emmy Awards reflect the increasing diversity of the programs and individuals honored, as well as that of daytime television's many fans," said Adam Sharp, President & CEO, NATAS. "Our Academy is determined to remain on the forefront of inclusiveness in our industry and we're grateful to GLAAD and other organizations and voices who give their time and wisdom to help shape our competitions."
On August 9, we reported that it's never too early to talk the Daytime Emmy Awards, and Soaps.com has a major change alert for next year's 47th annual event. Variety has learned that The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences will take a step toward eliminating gender-specific categories by no longer separating the Outstanding Younger Actor and Outstanding Younger Actress categories. Much like the Outstanding Guest-Performer category, beginning in 2020, the Outstanding Younger Actor/Actress category will be combined into one – Outstanding Younger Performer. All younger actors and actresses from Bold and The Beautiful, Days of our Lives, General Hospital and Young and the Restless under the age of 25 will be able to enter. Also, actors will be able to enter any of the acting categories as they see fit for their gender identity.
More: Complete 2019 Daytime Emmy Awards winners
This specific category first debuted during the 12th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards in 1985 and included soap opera actors over the age of twenty-five. As the World Turns alum Brian Bloom won for his role playing Dusty Donovan. In fact, Bloom was only fifteen years old at the time, which made him the youngest actor to be nominated for a Daytime Emmy Award. The category was originally labeled Outstanding Young Man or Outstanding Juvenile Male in a Drama Series and didn't convert into its current title until 1991. Last year's Younger Actor and Actress winners included Days of our Lives' Kyler Pettis (Theo Carver) and General Hospital's Hayley Erin (Kiki Jerome).
As Variety noted, The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences' decision surrounding gender-inclusive categories follows MTV dropping gender-specific categories for its annual movie, television and video awards. Also included when discussing the change was a past letter written to the Los Angeles-based organization, affiliated with the Primetime Emmys, by Billions' Asia Kate Dillon. Being the first gender nonbinary performer to play a nonbinary character, a clarification of gender distinctions was requested by Dillon, "I'd like to know if in your eyes 'actor' and 'actress' denote anatomy or identity and why it is necessary to denote either in the first place??"
Soaps.com will keep readers updated on any future changes or Daytime Emmy Awards news.
