NASA: streaming 4K from space to NAB
NASA will produce the first-ever live 4K video stream from space during the 2017 NAB Show. It is a live example taken to extremes: the feed comes from 250 miles above Earth.
The show "Reaching for the Stars: Connecting to the Future with NASA and Hollywood" will go live April 26 at the Las Vegas Convention Center. Directly from the International Space Station (ISS)!
It's a first for the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and it will help us understand and experience how advanced imaging and cloud technologies are taking scientific research and filmmaking to the next level. The first-ever live 4K video stream from 250 miles above Earth will be encoded AWS Elemental encoding software on board the International Space Station (ISS) and on the ground at Johnson Space Center.
The panel is co-produced by NAB Show, NASA, and Amazon Web Services (AWS). The US space agency is a pioneer in the application of advanced media – including 4K. By streaming real-time video that captures images four times the resolution of current HD technology, NASA is enhancing its ability to observe, uncover and adapt new knowledge of orbital and deep space.
During the NAB Show Super Session, a live 4K stream will enable NASA astronaut Dr. Peggy Whitson on the ISS to converse with AWS Elemental CEO and Co-founder Sam Blackman, who will be at the LVCC. In conjunction with the live 4K streaming event, NASA astronaut Dr. Tracy Caldwell Dyson and NASA Imagery Experts Program Manager Rodney Grubbs will take part in an LVCC-based panel discussion featuring Hollywood and technology leaders including Bernadette McDaid, head of development, VR & AR, Bau Entertainment; Khawaja Shams, vice president of Engineering for AWS Elemental; and Dr. Dave McQueeney, senior principal investigator, IBM Watson Group. The panel will be moderated by Carolyn Giardina, Technology Editor for the Hollywood Reporter.
The entire event will be available to the public for multiscreen viewing in live 4K and down-converted high-definition (HD) video at live.awsevents.com. A video-on-demand (VOD) asset will be available after the event in lower resolutions on the NASA TV Channel and in both HD and 4K at live.awsevents.com. 4K-capable devices will be required to view 4K content. AWS Elemental will deliver the live stream of the event via an AWS workflow that includes AWS CloudWatch, Amazon Route 53, and the Amazon CloudFront Content Delivery Network (CDN) for public access in both 4K and HD. Roberts Communications Network LLC of Las Vegas, NV is providing the satellite downlink truck for the transmission from Johnson Space Center to the LVCC. Christie is providing full-resolution 4K projectors for in-room display during the Super Session.
Attendees will learn how:
4K and Ultra HD (UHD) give NASA scientists a clearer, crisper view of their experiments, Earth, and the solar system.
Live 4K video will help take research to the next level and allow NASA scientists to share discoveries as they are happening – instead of after the fact.
The powerful, first-ever live 4K streaming, cloud-enabled workflow from space works and how it can help commercial space endeavors and content creation.
Hollywood and NASA inspire one another and the fascinating, surprising outcomes of this decades-long collaboration.

Residents and conservationists disagree over what should be done to protect the Owyhee region in southeastern Oregon.
Far away from city lights, this remote corner of Southeast Oregon provides great views of the night sky.
Rancher Bob Skinner says the Owyhee is already protected, by its isolation and remoteness. "If we get a big influx of people coming in here because they shine a spotlight on it with a monument, that is what's going to be the problem," Skinner said.
Leslie Gulch in Southeastern Oregon features sheer rock walls and red rock formations.
Cheatgrass dominates the landscape in the Owyhee. The invasive species is a problem in much of Eastern Oregon.
Giant red rock formations protrude from grassy, rolling hills. Although the Owyhee is known for its canyons, the majority of the land mass in the area is high desert sagebrush country.
Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell said Tuesday that she is not aware of any coordination between her office and the White House about a conservation proposal for the Owyhee.
Last year, Portland-based Keen Footwear launched a campaign to convince President Obama to designate 2.5 million acres in southeast Oregon as an Owyhee Canyonlands national monument.
The Oregon Natural Desert Association has been talking about a wilderness designation for years, but that can only happen through Congress. Obama has already created or expanded 19 national monuments. The prospect of a Democratic president designating a monument in the Owyhee has galvanized some local residents in opposition, and Rep. Greg Walden, R-Oregon, opposes the idea.
Walden asked Jewell directly if the Interior Department is involved in such an effort.
Jewell said, at the moment, she's not coordinating with the White House for an Owyhee monument.
"It's one of those things people have recommended to us," Jewell said. "But we have not held any community meetings, and we haven't had any discussions in those communities. People haven't been actively in my office asking about it."
Walden told Jewell that he was worried about an unexpected "dark of night" designation from Obama.
There's nothing in the Antiquities Act that requires a president to work with the Interior Department on new national monuments. But Obama has involved Jewell in past designations.
Walden also asked Jewell to let him know if her office does become involved in a monument process, and she agreed to do so.

Fire crews were called out to tackle a fire at an address in Alnwick this morning.
The incident happened in Windsor Gardens and a spokeswoman for Northumberland Fire and Rescue Service said that the fire started in an outhouse and spread to the windows and guttering.
She said that there were several calls from the public about the fire at around 11.10am and two appliances from Alnwick and one from Amble, as well as a station manager, were scrambled to the scene. She added that it took no longer than an hour to extinguish the flames and no people were involved in the incident.

Accurate population estimates provide the foundation for managing feral horses (Equus caballus ferus) across the western United States. Certain feral horse populations are protected by the Wild and Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act of 1971 and managed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) or the United States Forest Service on designated herd management areas (HMAs) or wild horse territories, re
Historical effective population size of North American hoary bat (Lasiurus cinereus) and challenges to estimating trends in contemporary effective breeding population size from archived samples
BackgroundHoary bats (Lasiurus cinereus) are among the bat species most commonly killed by wind turbine strikes in the midwestern United States. The impact of this mortality on species census size is not understood, due in part to the difficulty of estimating population size for this highly migratory and elusive species. Genetic effective population size (Ne) could provide an index of changing cen
Feral horse space use and genetic characteristics from fecal DNA
Feral horses (Equus ferus caballus) in the western United States are managed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and United States Forest Service in designated areas on public lands with a goal of maintaining populations in balance with multiple uses of the landscape. Small, isolated populations can be at risk of extirpation from stochastic events and deleterious genetic effects resulting from
Environmental gradients of selection for an alpine-obligate bird, the white-tailed ptarmigan (Lagopus leucura)
The warming climate will expose alpine species adapted to a highly seasonal, harsh environment to novel environmental conditions. A species can shift their distribution, acclimate, or adapt in response to a new climate. Alpine species have little suitable habitat to shift their distribution, and the limits of acclimation will likely be tested by climate change in the long-term. Adaptive genetic va
An empirical comparison of population genetic analyses using microsatellite and SNP data for a species of conservation concern
BackgroundUse of genomic tools to characterize wildlife populations has increased in recent years. In the past, genetic characterization has been accomplished with more traditional genetic tools (e.g., microsatellites). The explosion of genomic methods and the subsequent creation of large SNP datasets has led to the promise of increased precision in population genetic parameter estimates and ident
The transformative impact of genomics on sage-grouse conservation and management
For over two decades, genetic studies have been used to assist in the conservation and management of both Greater Sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) and Gunnison Sage-grouse (C. minimus), addressing a wide variety of topics including taxonomy, parentage, population connectivity, and demography. The field of conservation genetics has been transformed by dramatic improvements in sequencing tech
Characterizing range-wide population divergence in an alpine-endemic bird: A comparison of genetic and genomic approaches
The delineation of intraspecific units that are evolutionarily and demographically distinct is an important step in the development of species-specific management plans. Neutral genetic variation has served as the primary data source for delineating "evolutionarily significant units," but with recent advances in genomic technology, we now have an unprecedented ability to utilize information about

There has been some talk about Tetonka. I've only fished it once, but reading the SC forums it seems like a good place to start.
Sorry but I don't. I have had some luck on Tetonka but that ws approx 10 days ago. Tomorrow evening I'm going to try Washington. I would read some of the postings in the SC forum and maybe you might find some help there.


Scars result from the skin's natural repairing process. Dermal fillers are an effective method to treat, and possibly get rid of, specific kinds scars. They are especially effective for treating rolling scars and shallow boxcar scars.
Dermal fillers improve scar appearance by lifting depressed scars. There are many kinds of dermal fillers available, so patients should consult their dermatologist or health-care practitioner to learn which dermal filler is best for them. In general, hyaluronic acid-based fillers, such as Belotero, Juvederm, or Restylane, are most popular for reducing the appearance of scars.
Dermal fillers for treating acne scars are priced based on a number of factors, including the area treated, the skill of the specialist, the brand of filler, and the severity of the scarring. On average, the cost can start at $400+. Patients may need to receive repeat treatments to maintain the results, as soft tissue fillers are usually temporary.
First, your injector will do a complete facial assessment and examine your medical history. Based on this, they will discuss your treatment options. Once you are ready for treatment, a local anesthetic may be applied. Then, the dermal filler is injected into the areas needing correction. The amount of time a treatment session takes depends on how many scars are treated.
Patients can resume their ordinary activities immediately after receiving dermal filler treatment, and marks from the injections typically fade within a few days. Dermal filler injections can cause mild swelling in the treated area that can take up to 2 weeks to go away. The results of dermal filler treatment can usually be seen immediately and results last anywhere from a few months to several years, depending on the patient and the type of dermal filler used.
Are there any precautions with treatment?
Dermal fillers should not be injected into inflamed or infected skin. It is important that you seek treatment with a licensed injector in order to avoid unwanted risks. Each filler will have its own precautions that the doctor will go over with you prior to treatment.
Dermal fillers have been used for decades to correct a wide variety of skin imperfections and concerns. They have been shown to effectively fill skin depressions, making them a great treatment option for those who have scars.
Dermal fillers are safe as long as the procedure is done by a trained medical professional. Dermal fillers come with little risk of complications, and adverse reactions are uncommon. Potential side effects include swelling, redness, and irritation at the injection site. The dermal filler may also be visible under the skin as small bumps, but these bumps disappear after a couple of days, leaving the skin smooth. It is important to choose a skilled professional to avoid adverse reactions.
Dermal fillers can be classified as temporary, semi-permanent, or permanent. Temporary dermal fillers are made from hyaluronic acid. The results of temporary dermal fillers typically last between 3 and 18 months. Semi-permanent dermal fillers are made from calcium hydroxylapatite and poly-L-lactic acid. The results of these fillers last up to 24 months on average.
Permanent dermal fillers are made from silicon, polyacrylamide, polymethacrylates, and hydroxyethyl methacrylate. Permanent dermal fillers remain in the body for several years.
Temporary and semi-permanent dermal fillers are biodegradable, while permanent fillers are not. The suitability of a specific dermal filler depends mainly upon the characteristics of the dermal filler, the qualifications of the medical specialist, and patient attributes.
How old do I have to be to receive treatment?
Patients must be at least 18 years old to get cosmetic injectable treatments.
Are there other options for treatment?
Other treatments for acne scars include chemical peels, micro-needling, and laser resurfacing. The treatments will depend on the type of scars you have.
If you are self-conscious about facial scars, discuss treatment options with your health-care provider. A local licensed injector will be able to show you before and after pictures of other individuals who have received treatment with soft tissue fillers. Dermal fillers have long been a common treatment for correcting scars and wrinkles. Cosmetic injectables can effectively smooth out your complexion for a revitalized appearance.

UK Immigration Consultants In Coimbatore
Axis Overseas Careers | Best Immigration Consultants and Visa Consultants in Kerala India Canada > UK Immigration Consultants In Coimbatore
Axis Overseas Careers is the best UK immigration consultants in Coimbatore. We are the best UK immigration agency in Coimbatore for UK immigration consultants for nurses and others.
Coimbatore is a city in the south Indian state of Tamil Nadu. Coimbatore also known as Kovai and Koyamuthur, is a major city in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. It is located on the banks of the Noyyal River and surrounded by the Western Ghats.
UK Immigration Rules
An unlimited number of highly-skilled Indian workers will be able to migrate to the UK under new proposals that could come into effect in 2021, with a senior British minister saying that in the new system the country will be open to the "best and brightest" from India.
The proposals for the skills-based immigration system, operating from 2021, will allow people from across the world to come to the UK for work or to study and to visit. These proposals will mean that there would be no limit on the number of skilled people, such as engineers, doctors and IT professionals, who can come to live and work in the UK, the statement said.
The Migration Dialogue allowed for the UK government officials to engage directly with their Indian counterparts on the UK's plans for a new single, skill-based immigration system. The UK government delegation also held round-table events with key figures from the corporate, business and education sectors in India, to gather insight and highlight how the new system will benefit them.
At the talks, the UK government emphasized that the new skills-based immigration system offers a significant opportunity to Indian nationals, particularly skilled workers and students.
In the last few years, the share of visas allocated to Indian and US services companies has dropped significantly, with much higher rejection rates compared to American product firms. But now, Indians have been the biggest beneficiaries of this programme, receiving about 70 per cent of the visas issued annually.

● Biogas: A mixture of 60% methane, 40% carbon dioxide and traces of other 'contaminant' gases. This biogas is combusted to generate heat, power or road transport fuel.
● Digestate: An inert and sterile wet product containing valuable plant nutrients and organic humus. This product can be separated into 'liquor' and fiber for application to land or secondary processing.
Anaerobic Digestion offers favorable returns, as well as legislative and agronomic benefits.
● Food Processing Industry: Offers an environmentally sensitive waste disposal option and avoids increasing landfill fees.
● Local Community: Provides a local heat and power supply, creates employment opportunities and reduces farm odor levels.
● Environment: Reduces volumes of waste going to landfill and greenhouse gas emissions, as well as providing an organic fertilizer.
● Government: Helps local and national government meet various policies and legislative targets.
Economics can be variable, depending on feedstock mix, scale and technology. High capital costs are often quoted, but generally these assume no infrastructure already exists.
If, for example, you already have good access and good slurry storage & handling facilities the costs can be significantly lower. An Anaerobic Digestion Cost Calculator will give you an idea of the level of investment required. Generally, given the right mix of feedstock, scale and technology, payback can be as quick as 5 – 7 years.

Honeypot Young Carers
Wed 4th October 2017 at 19.30 - 22.00
October 2017's speaker night featured an inspiring and enthusiastic talk by Viv Carter of Honeypot. Click Details below to find out more.
Our speaker night with Viv Carter
This year, Four Marks and Medstead Rotary members are devoting much of their fundraising to a 'hidden problem' in our local communities by supporting young carers - children and young people who have the responsibility of caring for an adult family member or a sibling. Rotary President Sally Duncan chose for her charity of the year the East Hampshire charity Kings Arms who take time to support these children. Another charity supporting local young carers is The Honeypot Children's Charity, which has a holiday centre in the New Forest providing respite for young carers. The centre has provided breaks for 4,000 youngsters since it opened, mostly from Hampshire and the south. Viv Carter of Honeypot (pictured below left, with Sally on the right) told members that children as young as five have care responsibilities for sick parents, with some providing as much as 50 hours of care a week on top of their school attendance. Honeypot House in the New Forest has welcomed 132 children for breaks over the summer holidays. She said that one survey suggested that there could be as many as 700,000 young carers in the UK.
Her enthusiastic and frank discussion was an inspiration to all of us. We hope to be able to draw the attention of The Kings Arms to this facility and raise funds to send some of the children there. Once a child has visited Honeypot, they are not forgotten. There are regular visits by the Honeypot bus which travels around the south with the aim of providing more childhood fun and memories for children that might otherwise lack these things.
Details of Honeypot and their work
The Honeypot Children's Charity's vision is for every child to make the most of their one chance at childhood. The charity works to enhance the lives of young carers and vulnerable children aged 5 – 12 years old and is the only charity in the UK to provide respite breaks and on-going outreach support throughout a child's formative years. The majority of children Honeypot supports are young carers, who work incredibly hard to provide care and emotional support for a loved one. Honeypot also supports vulnerable children, who may have witnessed domestic violence, experienced homelessness or live in extremely deprived areas. We give these young children a break from demanding and stressful responsibilities at home and provide a safe, nurturing environment where these children can develop their full potential.
Children come to Honeypot House, just outside Exbury in the New Forest, or to Honeypot Pen y Bryn, Mid-Wales, to take a break alongside their peers. Activities such as riding a bike, learning to swim, going on a trip to the beach are often experienced for the very first time. Most importantly, the Honeypot Children's Charity gives children the chance to be children.
At Honeypot House, we support around 1000 young carers and vulnerable children from across the South of England and London a year, with over 50% of these being Hampshire based. We rely totally on donations to provide the high quality of service to the children referred to us as we receive no government funding. Therefore any support or donations we receive are truly valued and contribute to providing a Honeypot child with a break from their caring responsibilities or issues at home, allowing them the chance to enjoy normal childhood activities with friends and create memories they can cherish.

Nella teoria dei sistemi a coda Erlang B è la probabilità di blocco in un sistema a pura perdita cioè senza possibilità di accomodamento in coda. Essa esprime la probabilità che un cliente (o più in generale una richiesta di servizio) in arrivo in un sistema con m serventi e senza possibilità di accodamento venga rifiutato in quanto tutti i serventi sono occupati.

Descrizione
Tale probabilità è funzione del numero di serventi m e del traffico offerto A erlang ed è data da:

La formula in formato compatto è di difficile computazione e viene offerta generalmente in forma tabulata. Più algoritmicamente aggredibile è il formato ricorsivo:

dove:
 EB è la probabilità di blocco
 m è il numero di risorse
 A è il traffico offerto in erlang

L'ipotesi sottostante alla distribuzione Erlang B è che il processo sia a perdita: una richiesta ricevuta e non soddisfatta viene persa.

Tale formula è utilizzata per dimensionare il numero di linee in uscita da un centralino telefonico al fine di garantire una probabilità di blocco inferiore a una soglia desiderata per un certo valore di traffico offerto.

Il nome Erlang B è in onore dell'ingegnere danese Agner Krarup Erlang che ha studiato per primo queste problematiche relative al traffico agli inizi del XX secolo.

Generalizzazione per valori reali di m
In certi casi, tipicamente in fase di dimensionamento, può essere utile disporre di una formula che consente il calcolo per valori di m reali (ovviamente positivi):

Dalla Erlang B alla Gamma alla Dirichlet
Se si hanno k indipendenti v.c. casuali distribuite ciascuna come una variabile casuale Gamma con un parametro comune a tutti e unitario e un parametro individualizzato (si tratta dunque di v.c. dette Erlang B, ciascuna con il proprio parametro)

definendo la loro somma come

allora si ha che

dove Dirk è una variabile casuale di Dirichlet.

Do you have any concerns regarding your due date?
How did each of your prior births begin?
Did your previous births happen before, on or after your EDD?
Did you experience any complications during any of your previous pregnancies, labors or births?
If you'd like to share, please tell us about any complications you've experienced.
During labor and birth, women with a history of abuse may have extra anxiety. Is there anything that you feel your doula should know in order to serve you better?
How did you hear about birth | Fort Worth?
a) Birth | Fort Worth will provide one visit prior to the birth during which we will discuss your birth plan and details such as when to call your doula, what to do when you think you are in labor, and a quick review of comfort measures.
b) It is the client's responsibility to schedule this appointment with Birth | Fort Worth in a manner that is agreeable for both parties.
a) The doula works for the mother and partner.
b) The doula will support the decisions of the mother and partner within the limits of the doula's expertise.
c) The doula will join the client in labor as requested by the client.
d) The doula will not perform any medical procedures or make decisions regarding medical care for the mother and/or baby.
e) birth | Fort Worth will be on call 24 hours a day from the signing of this contract.
f) The doula that is on call will attend the birth. If the on-call doula cannot attend, a backup doula will attend.
g) The doula shall strive to create a calm and peaceful environment within the circumstances allowed by the birth location of the mother's choice.
h) The doula may take pumping breaks, not to exceed 30 minutes in length, as needed.
i) The doula will remain with the mother until at least one hour after the birth of the baby, as requested and as appropriate.
j) The doula can provide a follow-up of up to 2 hours within 10 days of the birth of the baby. At this meeting, the doula will answer any questions regarding the birth and care of the newborn. Additional postpartum services can be arranged through birth | Fort Worth, if desired. Please contact the doula when you would like to schedule this meeting.
a) The client agrees to contact the doula at the onset of labor. The client will advise where the doula should report to begin labor support. The doula will report within 2 hours of the client's request. In the event the doula or backup doula cannot attend the birth, we will provide you with an alternate Labor Support Doula.
b) We, as clients, must call birth | Fort Worth when we are ready for our doula to join us in labor. Our doula will not join us in labor unless we specifically request her presence.
c) It is our responsibility to ensure that our doula is allowed to attend us at all times while at the place of birth.
d) Any amount paid in excess of the non-refundable $500 retainer fee will be refunded if the doula misses the birth of the child as a result of reporting to the birth more than three hours after the client's request.
a) The fee for labor support is $1050, unless other arrangements have been made. This payment includes 1 prenatal visit, one postpartum follow up visit (not to exceed 2 hours), phone, text and email support and the 18 contracted hours of face-to-face labor support.
b) Additional labor support beyond the 18 contracted face to face hours will be billed at the rate of $25.00 per hour. This fee will be billed after the delivery and payment is expected within 14 days of delivery date.
c) If we decide not to use birth | Fort Worth after signing this contract, we will forfeit the $500 retainer fee. Cancellation within four (4) weeks of our EDD requires payment in full.
d) We, as clients, will pay the total amount due by four (4) weeks prior to the EDD as indicated below, unless special arrangements are made in advance.
e) At the signing of this contract, it is assumed that none of us can anticipate the type of labor or birth a client will have. As a business, we can only contract with a small number of clients in any particular time frame in order to best meet our clients' needs. We cannot fill our calendar and then change fees according to how births turn out. We are as committed to short laboring clients as we are to long laboring clients, and have been considered a tremendous asset to families that are in need of a cesarean section as recovery, bonding, and breastfeeding can be challenging in this case.
f) In the event of a scheduled (non-emergency) labor induction or cesarean section, we will take our doula's schedule into consideration prior to scheduling.
g) Should the mother or husband/partner fail to notify the doula 3 hours prior to the requested report time, and the doula misses the birth, birth | Fort Worth will keep the retainer fee and any remaining balance will be due immediately. No refund will be issued.
h) In the case of a weather emergency or act of God, it may be impossible for birth | Fort Worth to provide these services. The remaining balance is still due. No refund will be issued.

For what it's worth, I was able to run it earlier and launch successfully. However it stopped working this afternoon.

A: Accoring to Flask standards, you should keep app instance not in __init__ but in any custom module. If you place it in __init__, you must use factory layout. Also, gunicorn points not to module, but to a file. In your case since you call gunicorn to app, you should place app instance in app.py file in src folder.

To answer your question, the best thing you can do to tighten loose skin after weight loss is to gain muscle. Keep in mind that it is pretty hard and sometimes impossible to add a significant amount of muscle mass in a specific area of your body, which means you need to find a comprehensive exercise program that works your entire body.
Loose skin after weight loss: what you can do Once you start exercising and feel comfortable with your exercise program, you can pay a little more attention to particular muscle groups that you are most interested in. In your case, it means spending more time on exercises that target thighs and chest.
Whether or not you will be able to tighten loose skin after weight loss with exercise depends on how much of it is loose. The breasts are especially tough to "fix," but try pushups, dips on parallel bars, and exercises with free weights.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Team Hello brings you the trends, the tips and the highlights of corporate developments, while providing tools of the trade to boost productivity. Introducing a great way to implement step by step changes to your work day.
Today's fast paced, tech ridden world has been a game changer in the way consumers purchase. No need to stock a warehouse. No requirement to own a storefront. And, most recently, no need to own a hotel chain to boast a bed and breakfast service.
In a word, four of the most innovative and highly successful ventures of our time, rely on the use of available manpower and underutilized space. Even more than that, they rely on smart marketing to encourage trust as the new currency of choice.
Think travel:
Where owning a car has become the bane of our existence, the cost of monthly fare, insurance, parking tickets and gas has become quite the burden on city drivers. Add the difficulty circling for an adequate parking spot, and Uber has gained unmitigated popularity in the transportation market. What does uber offer? They don't own a fleet of cars, neither do they employ a single driver. In fact, what Uber succeeded in doing with smart branding had nothing to do with an explicit product of sorts. They pooled together available drivers, making use of vehicles that already dot the road map on a daily basis. They got the word out and a following was born. They succeeded in convincing the average rider to trust their network of transportation on a daily basis.
Think concierge:
For the creative spirits, or just about anyone, Airbnb provides a world of options across the globe. No need to book a boring hotel. There are options to stay in vacant celeb homes, or just one room thereof, as well as the most opulent of mansions the world over. You can snag a coveted loft in any city, stay at a beach house down south, or live on the fringe for a day or more. Airbnb may seem like an evolving hotel chain, yet, like Uber, they utilize available space for the advantage of the greater populace. Chalk it up to branding, where the right words can attract millions of guests, without even owning an extra bed. They have implemented a new norm of dorming in the home of the perfect stranger. Another way that branding draws hype based on old fashioned trust.
Think media:
They market themselves as the face of content. The who's who and gossip enclave that's known to many. Yet, Facebook provides absolutely no content whatsoever. Nada. Zilch. Nil. Get the picture? If it's not already on your Facebook page, that is. How can a multimillion dollar company brand themselves as the hub of such sought after hype, without a word of content in the offering? On the same bandwagon as Uber for cars and Airbnb for hotels, Facebook utilizes the public as their source of content. Trendsetters, bloggers, and people like you are the only source of data on the noteworthy social media platform. And they trust the public to be privy to their daily lives. That's a huge amount of faith in a site of random exposure.
Think marketplace:
You may be shocked to know that Alibaba has absolutely no inventory. Compare that fact to their sales figures which rank them as one of the most valuable online retailers, and that may seem unfathomable.
What's to gain? Smart business planning isn't always about stockpiling products or tipping the bucket. Instead, it's about strategic play at collaborative talent and plenty of branding. Most importantly, it's about the new economy of trust.
Well done is how you may want your steak.
Well said is how you want your business.

Battle lines harden as Trump impeachment inquiry goes public
WASHINGTON (AP) — With historic impeachment hearings underway, Democrats and Republicans are hardening their arguments over the actions of President Donald Trump as they set out to win over a deeply polarized American public.
Top U.S. diplomat in Ukraine William Taylor testifies before the House Intelligence Committee on Capitol Hill in Washington, Wednesday, Nov. 13, 2019, during the first public impeachment hearing of President Donald Trump's efforts to tie U.S. aid for Ukraine to investigations of his political opponents.

Democrats say Wednesday's extraordinary public session in the House revealed a striking account of Trump abusing his office by pressing the newly elected president of Ukraine for political investigations of rival Democrats, all while holding up needed military aid. "Bribery," they said, and "extortion."
Republicans counter that the hearing showed none of that. They say the two seasoned diplomats at the witness table had, at best, secondhand accounts of Trump's July 25 call that's central to the impeachment inquiry. There was no pressure on the young Ukraine leader, they argue, and eventually the aid flowed, though only after Congress intervened.
Day One of the rare public hearings in the House — part of only the fourth formal impeachment effort in U.S. history — set the contours for a once-in-a-generation political struggle. Images and audio from the hearing popped up on television, in earbuds and on the partisan silos of social media, providing the first close-up look at the investigation.
"The president sought to advance his political and personal interests at the expense of U.S. national security," said Rep. Adam Schiff of California, the Democratic chairman of the House Intelligence Committee leading the probe.
"Is this now going to be the new normal?" Schiff asked. Hosting the president of Turkey at the White House, Trump insisted he was too busy to watch the hearings being broadcast live across the country and the world. He denied a fresh detail from one of the witnesses about a phone call in which he was overheard asking about "the investigations."
"First I've heard of it," Trump told reporters during a news conference. A different conversation sparked the impeachment investigation, Trump's July 25 phone call with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, heard by several government officials and detailed in a partial transcript released to the public weeks ago. The core moment came when Trump asked the newly elected leader for "a favor."
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., said Wednesday that the Democrats' first witness "wasn't on the phone call, never met with the president, never talked to the chief of staff. And he's their star witness?"
Trump wanted Ukraine's government to investigate Democrats' activities in the 2016 election and his potential 2020 rival Joe Biden — all while the administration was withholding military aid for the Eastern European ally as it confronted an aggressive neighbor, Russia.
All day, the two diplomats delivered a dramatic, though complicated, account. They testified about how an ambassador was fired, the new Ukraine government was confused and they discovered an "irregular channel" — a shadow U.S. foreign policy orchestrated by the president's personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, that raised alarms in diplomatic and national security circles.
Trump restated his aggressive defense with rapid-fire tweets, a video from the Rose Garden and a dismissive retort from the Oval Office: "It's a witch hunt. It's a hoax." Career diplomat William Taylor, the charge d'affaires in Kyiv, offered new testimony that a staff member recently told him of overhearing Trump when they were meeting with another diplomat, U.S. Ambassador Gordon Sondland, at a restaurant the day after Trump's July 25 phone call.
The staff member explained that Sondland had called the president and they could hear Trump on the phone asking about "the investigations," Taylor said. Sondland told the president the Ukrainians were ready to move forward, Taylor testified as he repeated the staff member's account.
In the face of Trump's denial, Schiff expects the person to appear before investigators for a closed-door deposition. He is David Holmes, the political counselor at the embassy in Kyiv, according to an official unauthorized to discuss the matter and granted anonymity.
Across the country, millions of Americans were tuning in — or, in some cases, deliberately tuning out. Viewers on the right and left thought the day underscored their feelings. Anthony Harris, cutting hair in Savannah, Georgia, had the hearing on in his shop, but he said, "It's gotten to the point now where people are even tired of listening."
The hours of partisan back-and-forth did not appear to leave a singular moment etched in the public consciousness the way the Watergate proceedings or Bill Clinton's impeachment did generations ago. "No real surprises, no bombshells," said committee member Rep. Chris Stewart, R-Utah.
Still, the session unspooled at least partly the way Democrats wanted with the somber tones of career foreign service officers telling what they knew. They sounded credible. The witnesses, the graying Taylor and Deputy Assistant Secretary of State George Kent in his bow tie, defied White House instructions not to appear. Both had received subpoenas.
They are among a dozen current and former officials who already testified behind closed doors. Days of public hearings will stretch into next week. Both Kent and Taylor, who was asked by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to return to Ukraine as Trump was firing Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch, defended their ousted colleague. She is set to testify Friday.
A Trump ally on the panel, Republican Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio, mockingly called Taylor the Democrats' "star witness" and said he'd "seen church prayer chains that are easier to understand than this." Taylor, a West Point graduate and an Army infantry officer in Vietnam, responded: "I don't consider myself a star witness for anything."
The top Republican on the panel, Rep. Devin Nunes of California, said Trump had a "perfectly good reason" for wanting to investigate the role of Democrats in 2016 election interference, giving airtime to a theory that runs counter to mainstream U.S. intelligence which found that Russia intervened and favored Trump.
Nunes accused the Democratic majority of conducting a "scorched earth" effort to take down the president after the special counsel's Russia investigation into the 2016 election failed to spark impeachment proceedings.
The veteran foreign service officers delivered heartfelt history lessons about Ukraine, a young and hopeful democracy, situated next to Russia but reaching out to the West. Republicans sought to hear from the anonymous whistleblower whose official complaint alerted officials to the July 25 call by subpoenaing him for a closed session. The panel voted down the request and Schiff repeatedly denied the GOP claim that he knows the person.
"We will do everything necessary to protect the whistleblower's identity," Schiff declared. The Constitution sets a dramatic but vague bar for impeachment. There's no consensus yet that Trump's actions at the heart of the inquiry meet the threshold of "high crimes and misdemeanors."
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was initially reluctant to launch a formal impeachment inquiry. But she pressed ahead after the whistleblower's complaint. She said Wednesday it was sad that the country has to undergo the inquiry with Trump but "he will be held accountable."

Joe Biden's inaugural poet Amanda Gorman is Vogue's May cover star
Inaugural poet Amanda Gorman is Vogue's May cover star, and inside the issue, the 23-year-old shares what she learned from her inauguration appearance, how she is picky about choosing campaigns since she signed with IMG, and what she thinks of the Obamas, Hillary Clinton, and Oprah.
Since appearing on stage to read her original poem, The Hill We Climb, at President Joe Biden's inauguration on January 20, Amanda has been everywhere, from star-studded panels to magazine covers to the Super Bowl.
But, she told Vogue, she doesn't take every single opportunity that comes her way, no matter how much it pays — and she has turned down millions of dollars worth of deals that weren't right for her.
Ta-da! Inaugural poet Amanda Gorman is Vogue's May cover star
Iconic: Inside the issue, the 23-year-old shares what she learned from her inauguration appearance
At the end of January, Amanda signed with elite modeling agency IMG, which has helped bring even more opportunities her way. She already had an impressive line-up of representatives, having previously signed with WME as a public speaker and with Penguin Random House as a publisher.
IMG has represented some of the world's biggest stars — both fashion-focused and beyond — over the past few decades, helping them to land deals with multiple big-name brands, from Dior to Ralph Lauren to Louis Vuitton.
Its models have also graced the covers of countless fashion magazines, including Vogue, ELLE, and Harper's Bazaar — but Amanda said that for her, any brand partnerships mean something more.
'When I'm part of a campaign, the entity isn't my body. It's my voice,' Amanda told Vogue.
Still, fashion brands have been seeking her out after her high-profile inauguration performance, where she stunned in a yellow Prada coat.
In fact, Amanda revealed that so many companies were sending her flowers that she had an allergic reaction that sent her to urgent care.
Famous: Since appearing on stage to read her original poem, The Hill We Climb, and President Joe Biden's inauguration on January 20, Amanda has been everywhere
Careful: The star said she is picky about choosing campaigns since she signed with IMG
'When I'm part of a campaign, the entity isn't my body. It's my voice,' Amanda explained
But just because companies are dangling huge sums of cash doesn't mean that the star is taking them all up on their offers, and she estimates that she has refused $17 million worth of deals.
Of one she turned down, she said: 'I didn't really look at the details, because if you see something and it says a million dollars, you're going to rationalize why that makes sense.
'I have to be conscious of taking commissions that speak to me,' she said.
In an interview with Haitian-American writer Doreen St. Félix, Amanda also looked back at the whirlwind that was Inauguration Day.
The first National Youth Poet Laureate said that when she got back to her hotel later that day, she jotted an entry down in her journal.
'I've learned that it's okay to be afraid,' she wrote. And what's more, it's okay to seek greatness. That does not make me a black hole seeking attention. It makes me a supernova.'

'I've learned that it's okay to be afraid,' she wrote. And what's more, it's okay to seek greatness. That does not make me a black hole seeking attention. It makes me a supernova,' she wrote
Star power: Oprah has become a mentor, but Amanda admits: 'Every time I text Oprah, I have a mini–heart attack'
Politics: She described former President Barack Obama as 'dadlike,' former first lady Michelle as a 'cool auntie,' and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton as 'such a grandma'
Amanda has earned increasing success over the years, with commissions and fellowships, and her 2015 book The One for Whom Food Is Not Enough became a bestseller after the inauguration.
This has allowed the Harvard graduate to rent a nice Los Angeles apartment — which gives her some mixed feelings.
'I'm trying not to judge myself,' she said. 'When you're someone who's lived a life where certain resources were scarce, you always feel like abundance is forbidden fruit.'
On a lighter note, Amanda also dished on some of the very high-profile people she has come to have relationships worth.
She described former President Barack Obama as 'dadlike,' former first lady Michelle as a 'cool auntie,' and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton as, affectionately, 'such a grandma.'
Oprah, too, has become a mentor, but Amanda admits: 'Every time I text Oprah, I have a mini–heart attack.'
Just recently, on March 26, Apple TV+ debuted a new interview with Oprah and Amanda.
Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour has been plagued by accusations of racism in the past year, including in the handling of hiring Alexi McCammond as editor-in-chief of Teen Vogue
While Amanda's work tackles issues including race, oppression, and feminism, Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour has been plagued by accusations of racism in the past year.
Most recently, critics slammed her for hiring Alexi McCammond as editor-in-chief of Teen Vogue.
Shortly after the magazine announced the appointment, anti-Asian racist tweets from McCammond's Twitter account, written in 2011, resurfaced.
Publishing company Conde Nast stood by her, leaving staffers irate that she was allowed to keep her job and saying that it sent the wrong message during a time of increased attacks on American Asians.
They also complained that she was inexperienced, having never worked as an editor or manager before, and that there were other black women within Conde Nast who would have been better suited to the job.
They wrote an open letter demanding that she be replaced and also complained directly to CEO Robert Lynch.
Called out: Last year, Vogue was called out for not hiring a black photographer to shoot Simone Biles, pointing out that she didn't receive good lighting
It also emerged that in an email to staff that Anna Wintour and CEO Roger Lynch knew about the decade-old racist tweets but hired her anyway.
McCammond ultimately resigned.
Back in August of 2020, Beyoncé's mom Tina Knowles has called out Vogue magazine for not hiring enough black photographers for cover shoots.
'When will American Vogue step up and hire more Black Photographers for cover shoots? We're waiting…….' she wrote.
Meanwhile, the magazine's cover star that month was Olympian Simone Biles, who was shot by famed photographer Annie Leibovitz — a decision that was been slammed on social media.
Most of the criticism has come from people who take issue with Leibovitz's lighting technique, accusing the photographer of not knowing how to light dark skin tones.
Many other Twitter users chimed in to call on Vogue to hire more Black photographers — both on principle and to eliminate problems like this one.
In June, Wintour did not take part in a company-wide call about how to promote black staffers too.
At the time, she released a statement saying: 'I want to say plainly that I know Vogue has not found enough ways to elevate and give space to Black editors, writers, photographers, designers and other creators. We have made mistakes too, publishing images or stories that have been hurtful or intolerant.
'I take full responsibility for those mistakes. It can't be easy to be a Black employee at Vogue, and there are too few of you.
'I know that it is not enough to say we will do better, but we will — and please know that I value your voices and responses as we move forward. I am listening and would like to hear your feedback and your advice if you would like to share either.'
