Mindjet launches MindManager 2016 for Windows
Even greater versatility thanks to a wealth of new flowchart and diagram options
"Given the growing volumes of data (...), the visualisation of information is assuming ever greater importance. Companies are recognising this potential", explains Jörg Steiss, General Manager of MindManager EMEA at Mindjet Gmb
San Francisco, CA (PRWEB UK) 26 October 2015
Mindjet today announced the launch of the new version of its MindManager productivity and visualisation software. With an updated interface closely based on Microsoft® Office® 2016, MindManager 2016 for Windows features some major innovations in terms of visualisation options and is now much more user-friendly. The new solution is available immediately, and a free 30-day trial is available from the Mindjet website: http://www.mindjet.com.
A wealth of new visualisation options
Mindjet has revised and enhanced significant aspects of its software for the new MindManager version. For example, MindManager 2016 for Windows offers completely new visualisation formats, while remaining easy to use. With the new release, users can access a set of new templates and diagram types – such as flow diagrams, swim lane charts, concept maps, and status and decision diagrams – so that MindManager can now be used to add value to additional business processes.
It is also possible to combine the new diagram types with conventional mind maps, so people can really understand the information being presented. This means diagrams created with MindManager can be supplemented with all kinds of information, such as notes, tasks, and various markings. The new forms of diagrams also feature extensive filter and indexing functions, so that details are easier to find and edit. All diagrams benefit from the many advantages you associate with MindManager, such as clarity, data integration, and the option to link attachments.
"Given the growing volumes of data that typify this age of "big data", the visualisation of information is assuming ever greater importance. Companies are recognising this potential", explains Jörg Steiss, General Manager of MindManager EMEA at Mindjet GmbH. "This is why it was so important for us to build on this existing strength of MindManager to an ever greater degree. I am delighted that we have managed to ensure the software remains easy to use and intuitive, despite the many new functions and additional potential applications."
New look and feel: simple, elegant, intuitive
The overall look of MindManager 2016 for Windows is closely based on Microsoft Office 2016. There are also many innovations in terms of usability, with MindManager 2016 for Windows offering new branch-type arrangements that are used for both the additional diagram types and conventional mind maps. It is now much easier than before to label connections in the various forms of diagrams.
Increased Convenience
MindManager 2016 for Windows also offers more convenience with multi-monitor support. Customers can now work with MindManager maps on two (or more) monitors.
In addition to MindManager 2016 for Windows, new MindManager purchasers also receive MindManager for Mac (v10). For corporate users, Mindjet offers MindManager Enterprise – a high-performance offering that includes reader function for shared maps and other features – as part of an attractive licence and service package. Further information can be found at: https://www.mindjet.com/uses/mindmanager-enterprise/.

Kris W. Kimel says that "higher education, once open to a select portion of the citizenry, is now increasingly available to virtually everyone, anyplace at any time and oftentimes for free." He also says that "the rise of the innovation and information economy is also sweeping aside the traditional role and position of gatekeepers, those institutions and people who have historically controlled access to the economic playing field, professions and customers." These are the types of observations that we'd expect from the "president and a founder of the Kentucky Science and Technology Corporation, a non-profit company with an international reputation for designing and implementing innovative and broad-scale initiatives and programs." A gem, eloquent and accurate.
Why so much duplication in majors [courses?] among institutions, which siphons off excellence while also wasting taxpayer dollars? Why continue old-fashioned methods of foreign language instruction when new — yes, through technology — techniques trump the status quo?
Why constant boredom in classrooms thanks to professors offering limited lifetime working experience regarding the subjects they allegedly teach?
It seems Seabees1 has the kind of crap detector that is sorely missing among the vast majority of educators and so-called experts. When those with the power to impact education rely on "collegiate mumbo jumbo" and ignore the signs of their own failure, then the outlook for change is gloomy.
Seriously, though, if Seabees1 were an educator, would he survive? He might, that is, if he unplugs his crap detector or keeps the results to himself. I like to think that he's the president of a top-tier university who is secretly posting as Seabees1 and quietly working toward the kinds of changes that are implied in his questions. Or, if not president, then a fellow grunt in the teaching trenches who is quietly disrupting the status quo. This way, I'd at least know that not all educators are consumed by "petty politics" and "internal self-preservation," that the light for future growth is embedded in the ranks if not in the leadership and waiting to emerge when the climate is right.
But Seabees1 is probably in some other field where crap detection is prized and rewarded, and he's taken a moment out of his busy schedule to try to make a difference in the only way that works — by being honest.
The problem, if we care to listen to Seabees1, in the failure of our schools and colleges to make effective use of the latest technology, is us. We, as educators, are being driven by "petty politics" and "internal self-preservation," and many who can see this are afraid to say so. Thus, Seabees1, we owe you one.
1. "A Little Change Won't Be Enough," Kentucky.com, 15 July 2012. Webcite alternative.
There are many Seabees1 in the system, both high and low but it is very difficult to change the system from within. (You can get "sentenced to 20 years of boredom"). As someone on the inside it seems to me that competition from the outside is the only way to get movement. That and allowing under-performing organisations to fail.
Two good points, Brian. Perhaps the positive in the current fiscal shakedown is the loss of patience with those who define change as more of the same. U-Va is a prominent example of a board throwing up its hands and saying enough. Their decision was later reversed, but that only postpones the inevitable. Change or go under is the fate of all but the top brandname institutions.
I agree. Change won't happen with the current population of 20th century teachers and leaders. In time, however, they'll be replaced by 21st century counterparts who will see change as the only sustainable model.
I also agree that there are probably many closet 21st century leaders and teachers who are softly moving toward a model for learning and instruction that's suited to the antime-anywhere culture that technology promotes. In time, they'll be able to come out without fear.
In the end, change is like the expanding galaxy — inevitable. If there's an easier and sometimes better way to do something, it'll win out. That's the course of sustainability.
The thing is, Jim, I'm not sure Higher Education IS sustainable in the longer term. It is not a great exaggeration to state that you can learn anything on the Internet. So what value to higher ed institutions add? Accreditation – employers trust them to separate learners and then verify that they have learned something. Imagine if we had a different system for that. Badges?
Aside: I heard a story once of someone who was accepted to an Ivy League institution and turned it down on the basis that employers would be more impressed by the fact that they were accepted, than by what they might learn at the institution.
Brian please consider expanding on this idea for ETCJ readers. If you decide to do it, email it to me (jamess@hawaii.edu), and I'll publish it as an article within 24 hrs. I think you're onto sonething!
I was involved in a new project which I will not name because of what I am going to say. The people creating it were professors. The technology did not work. In a real school that would have been the death of the lesson. I had my two computers and an iPad. We did not have enough broadband and no one thought of it. Someone even came around and then gave us the lesson from a thumb drive.
So the lesson sort of proceeded. But the people sitting around the table were kind of mute. The professors were giving us the Classroom Connect model. I guess university students are paying for their knowledge and so they don't grumble. Well we sitting around the table not only knew more than they did .. in bits and pieces, but we also knew that telling is not teaching, because we deal with real students.
So we started sharing since the technology did not work anyway.
done the homework for sharing with educators. .. Had I been a first time educator using technology I would have run screaming ( in my head from the experience). ( Mental Divide) there is no wait and lst's get it to work when you deal with real students in k-12.

Q: Good projects to learn OCaml and F# After learning the basic syntax, reading some non-trivial code is a fast way to learn a language. We can also learn how to design a library/software during reading others' code.
I have following lists.

*

*A Chess program in OCaml by Tomek Czajka.

*Hal Daumé has written several machine learning libraries in Ocaml. Including decision trees, logistic regression and SVM. All of them are near-production-quality code.

*A Chess Game Analysis program in F# in Microsoft Research.
The above three are my favorites. Will you suggest some other sources? General purpose open source software are good, specialized open source like the three I list here are even more welcome.

A: Janes Street has released several libraries here.  They're actually using OCaml in an industry setting.  If anything, I'd check these out.

A: Check out these series of blog entries on Bookworm problem, they are light-hearted and show F#'s multiparadigm-ness very well. The last one looks like most "functional."

*

*Trie-ing to optimize text search in F#

*How to really be an evil genius (with F#)

*DAWG-fight, Optimizing text search in F# II

*DAWG-Gone!

*The BookWorm challenge

A: Well, Unison has been recommended to me to have a look at, as well as solving various problems from Project Euler, but personally I get more done by writing my own practical programs, so I'll probably be adapting one of those into OCaml, to see how it goes.

A: Jean-Christophe Filliâtre's page has numerous programs and libraries in OCaml.

A: One of the less well covered aspects of OCaml is the higher-order module system. The ocamlgraph library is an excellent example of benefiting from this language feature.
You may also like to read the OCaml source code to my HLVM project. The source code from my book OCaml for Scientists (2005) is freely available here but not open source. However, it has not been updated for several years and you can probably do much better today!
MLDonkey was an early file sharing client that once had hundreds of thousands of users. This is a heavily concurrent open source application written entirely in OCaml, weighing in at around 171,000 lines of code.
The Unison file synchronizer is another open source utility application written entirely in OCaml, weighing in at 24,000 lines of code. This was also the first popular application written in an ML derivative to have used asynchronous IO. So all of the F# code doing async today is essentially derived from it.
FFTW is a code generator for fast Fourier transforms (FFTs), essentially a very specialized form of optimizing compiler, that has been widely adopted and licensed for commercial use, e.g. in the core of MATLAB. Written mostly in OCaml with quite a bit of C and weighing in at 14,000 lines of OCaml code.
You may also like to read the source code to Hevea and ANT as these are fairly classical application domains for OCaml but also production quality applications with thousands of users.
I cannot think of any open source F# code to recommend. There is precious little out there and it is generally very poor quality. Most of it reads like Haskell. ;-)

A: You have the source of the ocaml standard library which is in o'caml.
I guess you've already looked at it, but the caml hump is a good source too:
Here

A: For web based Ocaml code Opa has open sourced all there code as well.

G7, allies agree to price cap on Russian oil
The G7 group and its allies have officially approved a cap on the price of Russian oil, BBC News reports.
In a joint statement, the G7 and Australia said the price cap would come into force on 5 December or "very soon thereafter".
It comes after the European Union agreed on the price cap after persuading Poland to back it.
The plan, which stops countries paying more than $60 (€57; £48) a barrel, needed the agreement of all EU states.
Poland announced its support on Friday after being reassured the cap would be kept at 5% lower than the market rate.
A price cap was put forward by the G7 group of nations in September and aims to stop Moscow profiting from oil exports while avoiding a price spike.
It had been reported that the EU wanted to set the cap at $65-70 but this was rejected by Poland, Lithuania and Estonia as too high.
Warsaw had wanted the value to be as low as possible and had held out while it examined an adjustment mechanism which would keep the cap below the market rate as the price of oil changed.
On Friday, Russian Urals crude was trading at $64 a barrel.
The decision to impose a price cap was taken to "prevent Russia from profiting from its war of aggression against Ukraine," the joint statement read.

NBC News Special Report - John Lennon - The Man And His Music (Part 3, 1980)
Here's Part 3, the final part, of an NBC Special Report on John Lennon: The Man and his Music, which aired the day after his murder, hosted by Jane Pauley. (who seems to have too smirky an attitude for this) Includes:
Jann Wenner, Editor and Publisher of Rolling Stone Magazine, speaks about Lennon and his impact.
Stephen Frazier talks with some Lennon fans standing outside in the rain near the Dakota - Sheila Kelly of Manhattan and Frank Mayorano.
And Imagine is boorishly faded out early to make room for a promo for the show "Number 96". That about sums it up. The CBS Special done the same night for Lennon was a much better production than this.

Credit Repair Companies: Effective or Not?
We've all wanted to maintain a clean public (and private) record. If we do, we won't have much problems doing various transactions that requires some degree of legal proceedings. At present, this need for security is often translated in making sure that credit transactions are taken care of well enough.
But with credit cards at hand, it becomes increasingly challenging to keep ourselves from spending at a minimal. Now that we can readily buy anything using it, then you can just simply pick any item you want to purchase and have it charged to your credit. Sadly, the more you fall into this habit, the bigger your debts become especially if you're spending way above your pay grade.
Once things start to go downhill on this account, it will be the time when you'll need the assistance of some credit repair companies. They can work on doing credit score analysis, mapping out all those relevant information about your spending, borrowing and the like.
If you look around your area, you should be able to find a lot of companies who may offer you their services. Some of them have already built their names in the industry while others have yet to get started. In any case, it's your responsibility to ensure that you are dealing with a licensed, ergo reliable company who is operating under legal standards.
Privacy and personal profile shouldn't be much of a problem as well. Those who are best commended for the high quality work that they do have some policies protecting client details. They are not supposed to divulge it to just anybody without your consent.
But while we've seen an increase in people who show interest in asking the aid of these companies, we are also seeing a significant number of contradictions on this account. There are people who remain skeptical on this matter. We can't entirely blame them. Reports about scams associated with credit repair have been rampant.
This is why the Federal Trade Commission warns everyone who is planning to hire one to be more vigilant on their pick. Rather than immediately agreeing on any deal, they should first check the credentials of the company. Also, they should refrain from dealing with those who ask for initial pay even before doing any kind of work. Legal ones don't do this. In fact, they give you the right to cancel the agreement should you not be satisfied with the work they do during the initial stages.
It will be an advantage on your part if you first list down all of the best companies that offer credit repair. If you are after of the best service, then its only appropriate that you deal with a trusted one.
So is this procedure effective or not? Those who made the right pick in choosing a company can attest to its efficiency. But for people who have been victims of scams, the procedure may not be that appealing. Weigh your options well. Who are the key players in the industry? What do most people and more importantly, experts recommend. Get the names and start narrowing them down.

Community Groups Support Equitable Development Staffers; Sidran Opposes "Compassion Seattle"
1. Members of Seattle's Equitable Development Initiative board, along with dozens of community organizations, signed a letter of support for two EDI leaders at the city's Office of Community Planning and Development who wrote a scathing letter late month accusing Mayor Jenny Durkan and OCPD of emotionally abusing EDI staff while sowing division among the communities EDI is supposed to support.
"As community stakeholders and EDI Board members, we… have witnessed the emotional labor required of EDI staff, valued for their deep ties to community, but directed to lead this program in a way that has perpetuated inequities for those it purports to serve," the letter of support says. "The City of Seattle, OPCD, and the EDI must do better by BIPOC staff and community organizations."
EDI manager Ubax Gardheere and EDI strategist Boting Zhang wrote an open letter last week saying they were taking a "mental health break" from the city. "Our bodies have been weaponized in an institution that historically and presently has actively fought against you, and you have sensed this," they wrote.
The Equitable Development Initiative began in 2015 under then-mayor Ed Murray as a revolving fund intended to advance community-led projects in areas of the city with a high risk of displacement and low access to opportunity. None of four demonstration projects that were chosen to launch the initiative have been built.
By saying "it is city policy" to avoid dispersing people unless they're impeding the use of public spaces, the former city attorney argues, the amendment will make it impossible for the city to sweep anyone, including, potentially, someone who is "blocking traffic by pitching a tent in the middle of 5th Ave. downtown."
During last year's budget process, Durkan proposed eliminating a long-promised $30 million fund to pay for EDI projects out of the proceeds of the Mercer Megablock sale, citing the pandemic; the council restored the funds, but EDI proponents saw Durkan's willingness to defund the initiative as a betrayal.
Since then, the mayor has appointed her own Equitable Communities task force to recommend spending priorities for $100 million in investments in BIPOC communities, which includes the $30 million; some advocates have criticized the makeup of the task force, saying it is composed largely of Durkan allies and groups that are seeking a slice of the money.
"When she set up the task force, a lot of people didn't want to join," Yordanos Teferi, of the Multicultural Community Center, recalled. "And then we learned that those who did join the task force were not coming into the process trying to advocate for communities at large—they were just advocating for their own projects or their own organizations." The MCC, along with Africatown, the Ethiopian Community in Seattle, Puget Sound Sage, Friends of Little Saigon, and more than two dozen other groups, signed the letter of support.
So if you get something out of this site, consider giving something back by kicking in a few dollars a month, or making a one-time contribution, to help us keep doing this work. If you prefer to Venmo or write a check, our Support page includes information about those options. Thank you for your ongoing readership and support.

House Democrats Gut Pro-Renter Backyard Cottage Bill
by Leo Brine
As the legislative session in Olympia ended this week, Democratic lawmakers celebrated the list of historic, progressive bills they passed, such as a capital gains tax, a new clean fuels standard, and police reform.
But as usual, legislators' attempt to increase access to affordable housing by changing outdated zoning rules ended in disappointment.
Earlier this year, Sen. Marko Liias proposed legislation (SB 5235) to loosen restrictions on accessory dwelling units—secondary units, such as backyard cottages, that are "accessory" to single-family homes— in cities and counties that are required to plan under the state Growth Management Act. The bill would have banned local governments from imposing owner occupancy requirements for ADUs, except in limited circumstances.
Many cities and counties require property owners to live on site order to rent an accessory unit, effectively prohibiting situations in which renters occupy both the primary house and its secondary apartment. Allowing property owners to live elsewhere would have expanded opportunities for renters to live in cities, including in single-family areas that are often prohibitively expensive.
The original bill passed the senate easily 43-6. However, by the time the bill made it out back to the state senate from the house, it included new changes that effectively gutted the legislation. The bill that eventually passed includes a loophole allowing cities to opt out of the new restrictions and impose owner occupancy requirements on a neighborhood by neighborhood basis, simply by going through a brief public feedback process. The changes prompted Liias to remark sarcastically, "Sometimes when we pass a bill out of the Senate and send it over to the House, they really transform it into something even better and stronger than it was before. … This is not one of those cases."
In fact, one of the original supporters of the bill, the progressive Sightline think tank, sent a letter to Governor Jay Inslee this week asking him to veto several sections the House added to Liias' bill, writing that the original bill "would have lifted local prohibitions on renters residing in properties with accessory dwelling units. These rules not only discriminate against renters, but are a major impediment to the addition of ADUs. The final version as amended by the House would solve neither problem, and all told, would likely amount to a step backward on ADU policy for the state."
"The final version as amended by the House would …would likely amount to a step backward on ADU policy for the state."
The changes to the bill began in the House Local Government Committee, whose chair, Rep. Gerry Pollet (D-46, North Seattle) told PubliCola the original bill was "a technical nightmare," and "needed dramatic revision." Calling the bill his committee passed a work-in-progress, Pollet said he expected other legislators to make further amendments before passing the bill.
Pollet's amendments, however, did not seem technical. Nor was the House able to restore the bill to anything resembling its former self before sending it back to the senate for final passage. In his committee, Pollet scaled back Liias' pro-renter mandate by allowing cities and counties to keep owner occupancy rules as long as they allowed property owners to apply for exemptions, leaving it up to cities to decide whether claims for exemptions were legitimate.
Pollet's version would have also given cities two years after their next required GMA comprehensive plan update to implement the regulations. Washington cities and counties must update their comprehensive plans every eight years; under the current schedule, some jurisdictions would not have to update their owner occupancy rules until 2027.
Reflecting on the committee's amendments, Sen. Liias said: "Cities don't like being told what to do. A lot of cities are deeply suspicious of renters—they treat renters with disdain. I think ultimately the language in the house committee amendment reflected that anti-renter sentiment from cities."

Morning Fizz: An Unprecedented Amendment, A Senate Shelter Compromise, and Surprise! Shelter Costs Money
King's Inn in Belltown
1. A proposed amendment to the Seattle City Charter that would (in theory) force the city to fund thousands of shelter beds or housing units and reinstate encampment removals is unusual in more ways than one.
First, the obvious: Instead of declaring a state of emergency or using some other rhetorical mechanism to sound the alarm on homelessness, the charter amendment—which will be on the ballot in November if supporters gather 33,000 valid signatures to put it before voters—establishes a specific goal: 1,000 new "units" of "emergency or permanent housing with services" in 2022. (Emergency housing is shelter, which is obviously much cheaper and easier to stand up quickly than permanent housing units.)
Second, and perhaps more impactful in the long term: The amendment attempts to use the city's charter—Seattle's constitution—to dictate specific budget and policy priorities, which are usually the subject of legislation, in perpetuity. In addition to the 2,000-bed mandate, the amendment would require that, in all future years, the city will spend at least 12 percent of its general fund revenues on human services, and that the city pay for "full restoration of general fund support for the Department of Parks and Recreation to facilitate repair and restoration of parks."
Supporters of the amendment have argued that these permanent mandates establish ongoing priorities for the city: Homelessness, human services generally, and parks "repair and restoration" are important priorities that need to be enshrined in city law. But a look at past charter amendments illustrates just how unusual, if not unprecedented, this proposal is.
The majority of charter amendments over the years have been put on the ballot by the city council itself; most of them involve governance changes or tweaks to the language of the charter itself. For example, in 1977, a successful amendment changed the name of the city's "Governance Counsel" to "City Attorney"; in 2006, voters approved an amendment that eliminated 1946 language requiring the city to physically "post" ballot proposals (in addition to publishing them in the newspaper.)
A look at past charter amendments illustrates just how unusual, if not unprecedented, this proposal is.
Other city-generated charter amendments have been more substantive, but still limited to the realm of governance, not policy: In 2007, the city council was so annoyed by then-mayor Greg Nickels' decision to hold his State of the City address at a Rotary Club luncheon, they put an amendment on the ballot requiring the mayor to "deliver" the address at City Hall. (Subsequent mayors got around this requirement by holding the speech elsewhere, then physically or virtually "delivering" the text of the address to the council at its regular meeting the same day.)
Amendments that originate with citizens have followed a similar pattern: Even those that have proposed substantive changes, such as three different proposals to institute district elections, have dealt with the way the city is governed, not legislative priorities. In addition to districts (which finally passed in 2013), Seattle residents have proposed amendments that would institute ranked-choice voting and elections through proportional representation. There appears to be no precedent for the council or citizens imposing preemptive budget requirements or mandating legislative policy through the city charter.
2. Earlier this year, Mayor Jenny Durkan's office rejected a proposal by the Public Defender Association to operate a hotel-based shelter at the Executive Pacific Hotel on the grounds that it was far too expensive. The program, which would have cost about $28,000 per room, would have been modeled on the successful JustCare program, which moved more than 100 people from encampments in Pioneer Square and the International District into hotels around Seattle. At the time, the mayor's office set a hard spending cap of $17,175 a room.
Fast forward to last Monday, when the city held a press tour at the new, Chief Seattle Club-operated King's Inn shelter in Belltown. The total price for room? Around $23,000, according to CSC staff. The $5,000 difference per room between the King's Inn shelter and the one the PDA proposed would have amounted to about $750,000 total at the Executive Pacific—a fraction of the overall $8.3 million contract for that hotel, which eventually went to the Low-Income Housing Institute.
The two hotels will be funded largely from federal Emergency Services Grant funding. As PubliCola has reported, Durkan's office has consistently declined to use federal FEMA dollars to pay for hotel-based shelters, as other cities have done.
3. The senate Ways and Means Committee passed HB 1220—a bill that updates the Growth Management Act (GMA) to require cities to plan for and accommodate low-income housing and shelter as part of their comprehensive plans.
As amended by Sen. Marko Liias (D-21, Lynnwood), the bill also prohibits cities from using zoning rules to block transitional and permanent supportive housing in residential areas or areas where hotels are allowed, while simultaneously limiting the areas where cities are required to allow emergency shelter to "zones"—a term that is not clearly defined—within one mile of transit stops.

When 'neutral' evidence still has probative value (with implications from the Barry George Case)
Fenton, Norman, Berger, D., Lagnado, David, Neil, Martin and Hsu, Anne 2013. When 'neutral' evidence still has probative value (with implications from the Barry George Case). Science & Justice. 54 (4), pp. 274-287.
Fenton, Norman, Berger, D., Lagnado, David, Neil, Martin and Hsu, Anne
The likelihood ratio (LR) is a probabilistic method that has been championed as a 'simple rule' for evaluating the probative value of forensic evidence in court. Intuitively, if the LR is greater than one then the evidence supports the prosecution hypothesis; if the LR is less than one it supports the defence hypothesis, and if the LR is equal to one then the evidence favours neither (and so is considered 'neutral'—having no probative value). It can be shown by Bayes' theorem that this simple relationship only applies to pairs of hypotheses for which one is the negation of the other (i.e. to mutually exclusive and exhaustive hypotheses) and is not applicable otherwise. We show how easy it can be – even for evidence experts – to use pairs of hypotheses that they assume are mutually exclusive and exhaustive but are not, and hence to arrive at erroneous conclusions about the value of evidence using the LR. Furthermore, even when mutually exclusive and exhaustive hypotheses are used there are extreme restrictions as to what can be concluded about the probative value of evidence just from a LR. Most importantly, while the distinction between source-level hypotheses (such as defendant was/was not at the crime scene) and offence-level hypotheses (defendant is/is not guilty) is well known, it is not widely understood that a LR for evidence about the former generally has no bearing on the LR of the latter. We show for the first time (using Bayesian networks) the full impact of this problem, and conclude that it is only the LR of the offence level hypotheses that genuinely determines the probative value of the evidence. We investigate common scenarios in which evidence has a LR of one but still has significant probative value (i.e. is not neutral as is commonly assumed). As illustration we consider the ramifications of these points for the case of Barry George. The successful appeal against his conviction for the murder of Jill Dando was based primarily on the argument that the firearm discharge residue (FDR) evidence, assumed to support the prosecution hypothesis at the original trial, actually had a LR equal to one and hence was 'neutral'. However, our review of the appeal transcript shows numerous examples of the problems with the use of hypotheses identified above. We show that if one were to follow the arguments recorded in the Appeal judgement verbatim, then contrary to the Appeal conclusion, the probative value of the FDR evidence may not have been neutral as was concluded.

Naija Lottery recently announced its partnership with Quanta, in a bid to introduce blockchain technology to the traditional lottery market.
According to The Punch, the International Lottery and Gaming Limited (ILGL) also known as Naija Lottery, partnered with a new investor, Quanta, to introduce a blockchain investment platform. Per the agreement, the coming together of both companies would bring decentralized ledger technology (DLT) to the traditional lottery market.
Now is the time to build on the momentum of the traditional Nigerian lottery market. Together, we will continue to build a safe and trustful platform that ensures fairness and transparency, while offering amazing functionality to players and helping to boost the local economy.
Saadeh further said that the company aimed at offering a better lottery experience for the Nigerian market.
Also commenting on the collaboration was Kostas Farris, Chief Technology Officer and Director of Quanta. Farris said that the partnership of both companies was an opportunity to boost the dynamic lottery industry. The Quanta executive further stated that the company aimed at spreading blockchain lottery across other markets in Africa.
Naija Lottery which is one of the largest gaming companies in Nigeria offers lottery tickets across the country. Part of the company's objectives includes offering responsible gaming according to international standards and preventing addictive playing. Naija Lottery has a Grade A license from the National Lottery Regulatory Commission.
Quanta is renowned as the world's first licensed blockchain lottery and developed on the Ethereum decentralized ledger technology. The company aims to transform the traditional lottery industry by providing a safe and transparent environment for both players and operators.
Different sectors use blockchain technology as it does not involve a middleman and is transparent. The Online gaming industry including lottery companies and casinos also employ decentralized ledger technology to bring about fairness and take the industry to the next level.
DAO.Casino in November announced a partnership with BlockProof Tech LLC to revolutionize the gambling industry with Gambling 3.0. The casino company aims to build a decentralized protocol for gambling on Ethereum blockchain. This process would improve interaction and create better opportunities for operators, affiliates, game developers and players.
Earlier in the year, VR Technology created the VR Casino OKO which aimed to solve the problem of transparency using blockchain technology.

Ausserparlamentarische Kommissionen
Ausserparlamentarische Kommissionen sind vom Bundesrat oder vom Departement eingesetzte Gremien, die für Regierung und Verwaltung öffentliche Aufgaben erfüllen. Sie unterstehen der Kommissionenverordnung vom 3. Juni 1996 (SR 172.31). Die ausserparlamentarischen Kommissionen erfüllen vor allem zwei Funktionen: Sie ergänzen als Milizorgane die Bundesverwaltung in Bereichen, wo dieser spezielle Kenntnisse fehlen. Damit stehen der Verwaltung Fachkenntnisse zur Verfügung, die selbst hergestellt werden müssten. «Die Einsetzung neuer ausserparlamentarischer Kommissionen erfolgt daher oft, wenn der Staat neue Aufgaben zu übernehmen hat und die entsprechenden Fachkenntnisse in der Verwaltung selber noch nicht vorhanden sind.» Zudem sind sie ein nützliches Mittel zur Interessenvertretung von Organisationen aus Politik, Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft. Die Zusammenarbeit ermöglicht Kompromisse, die nicht nur auf reiner Interessenvertretung basieren. Dementsprechend können ausserparlamentarische Kommissionen als Instrument einer partizipativen Demokratie betrachtet werden und verfügen in der Schweiz über eine lange Tradition. Beispiele sind: PRS – Kommission Präsenz Schweiz; EEK – Eidgenössische Ernährungskommission; EKKJ – Eidgenössische Kommission für Kinder- und Jugendfragen.

Generic top-level domain
Loan (sports)
In finance, a loan is the lending of money from one individual, organization or entity to another individual, organization or entity. A loan is a debt provided by an entity (organization or individual) to another entity at an interest rate, and evidenced by a promissory note which specifies, among other things, the principal amount of money borrowed, the interest rate the lender is charging, and date of repayment. A loan entails the reallocation of the subject asset(s) for a period of time, between the lender and the borrower.
In a loan, the borrower initially receives or borrows an amount of money, called the principal, from the lender, and is obligated to pay back or repay an equal amount of money to the lender at a later time.
The loan is generally provided at a cost, referred to as interest on the debt, which provides an incentive for the lender to engage in the loan. In a legal loan, each of these obligations and restrictions is enforced by contract, which can also place the borrower under additional restrictions known as loan covenants. Although this article focuses on monetary loans, in practice any material object might be lent.

Generic top-level domains (gTLDs) are one of the categories of top-level domains (TLDs) maintained by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) for use in the Domain Name System of the Internet. A top-level domain is the last label of every fully qualified domain name. They are called generic for historic reasons; initially, they were contrasted with country-specific TLDs in RFC 920.
The core group of generic top-level domains consists of the com, info, net, and org domains. In addition, the domains biz, name, and pro are also considered generic; however, these are designated as restricted, because registrations within them require proof of eligibility within the guidelines set for each.
Historically, the group of generic top-level domains included domains, created in the early development of the domain name system, that are now sponsored by designated agencies or organizations and are restricted to specific types of registrants. Thus, domains edu, gov, int, and mil are now considered sponsored top-level domains, much like the themed top-level domains (e.g., jobs). The entire group of domains that do not have a geographic or country designation (see country-code top-level domain) is still often referred to by the term generic TLDs.

In sports, a loan involves a particular player being allowed to temporarily play for a club other than the one he is currently contracted to. Loan deals may last from a few weeks to all season-long and can also be for a few seasons.
Players may be loaned out to other clubs for several reasons. Most commonly, young players will be loaned to a club in a lower league in order to gain valuable first team experience. In this instance, the parent club will continue to pay the player's wages in full. Some clubs put a formal arrangement in place with a feeder club for this purpose, such as Manchester United and Royal Antwerp,Arsenal and Beveren, or Chelsea and Vitesse. In other leagues such as Italy's Serie A, some smaller clubs have a reputation as a "farm club" and regularly take players, especially younger players, on loan from larger clubs.
A club may take a player on loan if they are short on transfer funds but can still pay wages, or as temporary cover for injuries or suspensions. The parent club might demand a fee and/or that the loaning club pays some or all of the player's wages during the loan period. A club might seek to loan out a squad player to make a saving on his wages, or a first team player to regain match fitness following an injury.

Biggest transformation in 130 years sees Tretorn choose Sitoo and step closer to unified commerce
Iconic fashion brand, Tretorn, is undergoing its biggest change in 130 years with rapid growth, digital transformation, and its own stores.
In 1891, Tretorn made its first pair of galoshes in its newly opened factory in Helsingborg. In the following five years, the company produced one million galoshes and cemented its success for generations to come.
Fast-forward 130 years to 2020 and, despite the company facing its biggest ever challenge in the form of the fallout from COVID-19, Tretorn is pressing firmly down on the accelerator as its growth journey picks up pace and momentum.
"This company has been through two world wars and both the 1990s crisis and the financial crisis in 2008," says Magnus Månsson, CEO at Tretorn. "Even though I wasn't involved in those, I have to say I think this year has been the hardest . The most difficult thing is we don't know how long this situation will last or how we will be affected in the long term.
"The most difficult thing this year has been to continue to push through the changes we're making. It's easy to stop as soon as there is a problem. At the same time, all the staff understand this is what we should do now. We're adjusting as we go and we know the changes we're making will help us achieve great things."
Tretorn's goal is to reach a distribution model by 2024, where its own e-commerce accounts for 25 percent of sales, wholesalers account for 50 percent, marketplaces 15 percent and its own physical stores 10 percent. Today, sales from wholesale account for 95 percent of sales so it's a significant shift in culture and operations.
The first significant change happened in early 2019 with the creation of a dedicated e-commerce team to drive and accelerate online sales. The next big leap forward for Tretorn was last week with the opening of its first physical store in ten years.
Magnus Månsson adds: "Historically, Tretorn has exclusively engaged in wholesale operations; we sell our products to retailers who, in turn, sell directly to the consumer. Once upon a time, there were stores in places like New York and Boston, but for, maybe ten years, we have not had our own retail. What we had then was more akin to showrooms. Now, it's all about finding the right locations and the right flows so that the channels complement each other. The important thing is that we can show our entire range."
Tretorn's new store is in Väla, Helsingborg (close to the company's headquarters and warehouses) and opened at the end of August with further flagship stores planned for Stockholm, Gothenburg, Berlin, and London.
The stores will be powered by the Sitoo POS and unified commerce platform, a choice which, Magnus Månsson, says makes perfect sense.
"We needed to be up and running quickly and the speed of implementation at Sitoo is unmatched. We also have pop-up stores on our radar so we needed a solution with flexibility to power these and we'll be expanding globally so we wanted to find a solution to support this. With Sitoo, we have one platform we can use for everything that will be continuously updated.
"The people at Sitoo, their friendliness and willingness to help, as well as their knowledge and experience, were all part of the reasons for us choosing to work with them."
"The change we're going through is great fun and we're delighted Sitoo is part of it. Everyone thinks it is fun because we're constantly forced to develop the business and we're excited for what the future holds."
