Teaching Cars To Drive — Highway Path Planning – Udacity – C++
Term 3 of the Udacity Self-Driving Car Engineer Nanodegree. C++ Planning a path that is both safe and efficient is one of the hardest problems in the development of an autonomous vehicle. In fact, this step, known as Path Planning, is still an active area of research. The reason why Path Planning is such a complex task is because it involves all components of a self-driving vehicle, ranging from the low level actuators, the sensors which are fused to create a "snapshot" of the world, along with the localization and prediction modules to understand precisely where we are and what actions different entities in our world (other vehicles, humans, animals, etc) are more likely to take in the next few seconds. One other obvious component is a trajectory generator that can compute candidate trajectories to be evaluated by the planner. 2018-07-08 07:40:50.206000+00:00 Read the full story.

Artificial Intelligence And Machine Learning In Medicine: Hope Or Hype?
Applications of artificial intelligence and machine learning to health care and research have been exploding over the last year—and sometimes backfiring, as researchers negotiate the learning curve. There is great hope, however, that these technologies will reduce drug discovery times and ultimately enable precision medicine. Is a computational approach the awaited disruption that will speed time and lower costs of research and development? Or will human biology outsmart our best efforts to decode it algorithmically? 2018-07-07 15:59:21-04:00 Read the full story. CloudQuant Thoughts… This is a very entertaining post for two reasons.. 1) The panel conversation is very interesting. What is Watson good at? Taking in large amounts of data and working out the patterns that are easily discernable. Why may Watson struggle with medical applications? Because there is no encyclopedia, we don't know what causes most medical diseases. 2) The obviously machine-generated transcript of the start of the presentation includes the fabulous line "So when people think about Johnson Johnson they think of them people think about baby capful spurts of Cool J has." (The actual line was.. "So, when people think about Johnson'n'Johnson they think about baby care products but of course J&J has…..". I guess we are not quite there yet!
Inside China's Dystopian Dreams: A.I., Shame and Lots of Cameras
In the Chinese city of Zhengzhou, a police officer wearing facial recognition glasses spotted a heroin smuggler at a train station. In Qingdao, a city famous for its German colonial heritage, cameras powered by artificial intelligence helped the police snatch two dozen criminal suspects in the midst of a big annual beer festival. In Wuhu, a fugitive murder suspect was identified by a camera as he bought food from a street vendor. With millions of cameras and billions of lines of code, China is building a high-tech authoritarian future. Beijing is embracing technologies like facial recognition and artificial intelligence to identify and track 1.4 billion people. It wants to assemble a vast and unprecedented national surveillance system, with crucial help from its thriving technology industry. 2018-07-08 00:00:00 Read the full story.

The rise of 'pseudo-AI': how tech firms quietly use humans to do bots' work
It's hard to build a service powered by artificial intelligence. So hard, in fact, that some startups have worked out it's cheaper and easier to get humans to behave like robots than it is to get machines to behave like humans. "Using a human to do the job lets you skip over a load of technical and business development challenges. It doesn't scale, obviously, but it allows you to build something and skip the hard part early on," said Gregory Koberger, CEO of ReadMe, who says he has come across a lot of "pseudo-AIs. It's essentially prototyping the AI with human beings". This practice was brought to the fore this week in a Wall Street Journal article highlighting the hundreds of third-party app developers that Google allows to access people's inboxes. In the case of the San Jose-based company Edison Software, artificial intelligence engineers went through the personal email messages of hundreds of users – with their identities redacted – to improve a "smart replies" feature. 2018-07-06 00:00:00 Read the full story. CloudQuant Thoughts… Sometimes, as shown in the PBS NOVA Rise of the Robots program, you have a step in a process that is just beyond the capabilities of the current technology. In that instance, you make it an outside step. It helps you to define where you fall short and then take chunks out of just that part of the problem.
Google's DeepMind taught AI teamwork by playing Quake III Arena
Google's DeepMind today shared the results of research and experiments in which multiple AI systems were trained to play Capture the Flag on Quake III Arena, a multiplayer first-person shooter game. An AI trained in the process is now better than most human players in the game, regardless of whether it's playing with a human or machine teammate. The AI, named For the Win (FTW), played nearly 450,000 games of Quake III Arena to gain its dominance over human players and establish its understanding of how to effectively work with other machines and humans. DeepMind refers to the practice of training multiple independently operating agents to take collective action as multi-agent learning. 2018-07-04 00:00:00 Read the full story.

User experience enhanced by artificial intelligence
I had a couple of good user experiences over the past couple of days, they may seem like small beer to some people but to me they point to a bright future… One was I wrote an email in Gmail that mentioned "… I have attached a PDF with the latest summary…". I then hit send but forgot to attach the PDF. The response from Gmail was to prompt me to attach the PDF. This may seem trivial but it saved the recipient from having to write asking for the PDF and then saved me having to write another mail with the PDF attached. The second good UX experience was, I traveled in Spain last week and used a Monzo debit card as it saves on fees and offers a good exchange rate. Looking at the Monzo app this morning it has a message saying "Your trip to Spain – you spent £475.69 over 5 days". 2018-07-09 11:13:35 Read the full story.

The Six Sister Cities of Silicon Valley
Silicon Valley has achieved an almost mythical status in both modern American popular culture as well as the annals of world economic history. Located south of San Francisco, the name "Silicon Valley" was coined in the early 1970s due to the volume of silicon chip innovators and manufacturers in the area. Today, the valley is synonymous with technology innovation and venture capital: two mighty forces of change. The great majority of American economic growth over the past 5 decades has been as a direct or indirect result of an omnipresent technology explosion. However, the over-simplification of Silicon Valley as a physical location belies a misunderstanding of the depth and breadth of contributions to this magnificent and ubiquitous technology upheaval. When using the moniker "Silicon Valley," we should recognize that, as the number of technology centers across the U.S. increases in numbers, we are actually referring to a mindset as much as a place and to an entrepreneurial approach to life as much as a set of adjacent zip codes.

AI in digital banking sales: win the 200 billion dollar race
Currently, front office is king in Banking AI applications, according to the findings of a recent survey of the 30 of the world's biggest banks by the Financial Times. Some 17 of the 18 banks that provided detailed answers are already using AI in front office, ranging from Citi's Facebook messenger chatbot to UBS's use of Amazon's virtual assistant Alexa for customer service. Front office is also where banks see the biggest potential for AI-related savings. But the survey results also show that broad is best: eight banks are using AI in front office, middle office, back office and data analytics. The other 10 are using it in three of the four areas. 2018-07-09 09:46:18 Read the full story.
Udacity Or Coursera: Which MOOC Is The Best For Artificial Intelligence And Machine Learning Upskilling?
It is a question that rankles every data science and machine learning enthusiast who wants to upskill and take up MOOC specialisations to land a data science job. Most self-taught machine learning and data science practitioners have to tread the self-learning path with a bunch of online courses, especially through Coursera and Udacity Nanodegree programme. These courses also serve as preparatory material for graduate courses. While there is no definite consensus on which course is better, it all depends on individual goals and whether students are geared towards a theoretical learning environment or prefer a more job-oriented, hands-on approach. Most of the time, learners fall back on ratings and reviews to gauge the effectiveness of the program and whether it is worth the ROI. Both the platforms are helmed by industry stalwarts – Udacity was founded by Google X founder and ex-Stanford professor Sebastian Thrun, and Coursera is helmed by Andrew Ng. 2018-07-03 11:18:28+00:00 Read the full story.

How tech companies are successfully disrupting terrorist social media activity
One difficulty the social media companies face is that, if a terrorist group is blocked from one platform, it might simply move to a different one. In response to this, GIFCT members have created a shared industry database of "hashes". A hash is a unique digital fingerprint that can be used to track digital activity. When pro-terrorist content is removed by one GIFCT member, its hash is shared with the other participating companies to enable them to block the content on their own platforms. 2018-07-04 18:30:02+10:00 Read the full story.

Do match-days boost the FIFA World Cup song? – Towards Data Science
Music is something that is part of football's culture. Official FIFA and local theme songs unite the armies behind all the countries that participate in this year's World Cup. Aside from enhancing the atmosphere during the game, the event gives artists exceptional world coverage and notoriety. We can all remember hits like Shakira's "Waka Waka" and Pitbull's "We Are One", though these were released respectively 8 and 4 years ago. Because of the enormous reach the event has and music being unifying amongst supporters I wanted to know if we can track down the results of this World Cup's anthem and see if these would increase on game days — and if this would be the case, does this differ per country? 2018-07-08 18:33:05.234000+00:00 Read the full story.

Treating fraudsters to a taste of AI medicine
Fraud is an issue that remains constant in the financial services sector. It creates trust problems between consumers and FIs, it can discourage consumer uptake of new services and it's expensive for everyone involved. Over £1bn has been stolen from bank customers through credit and debit card fraud in the past 12 months and one in 10 people in the UK have cancelled their credit or debit card in the past year because of attempted fraud. Such is the potential of AI that companies such as MasterCard and Worldpay have already started using AI to detect fraudulent transaction patterns and prevent card fraud. PayPal has joined their ranks too, with the online provider using its home-grown artificial intelligence engine to detect suspicious activity, and more importantly to separate false alarms from true fraud. 2018-07-05 14:10:45 Read the full story.

Facial Recognition Shows Promise as Next Step in Corporate Security
Two minutes after the glass door of the Capital Gazette newspaper in Annapolis, Maryland, was blasted by a shotgun round, and five newspaper employees were killed, police had the alleged shooter in custody. But they had a problem when they took him in for questioning. He had no identification, he would not talk to police and his fingerprints returned no results from any database. Police were stumped, but then investigators thought to put the mystery gunman's photo into the state's new facial recognition system. In a matter of minutes, the alleged shooter was identified as Jarrod Ramos, a man who had previously sued the paper for its coverage of his arrest and conviction on stalking charges a few years earlier. 2018-07-06 00:00:00 Read the full story.

Tech company develops algorithm to greenlight movie scripts
Hollywood's movie industry could gain another cog in the machine, if one tech company has anything to do with it. US startup ScriptBook hopes to change the way films get greenlit – or approved for production – by removing the human decision-making from the process altogether. Nadira Azermai, who founded ScriptBook, sees her company as a possible solution to the nosediving profits besieging Hollywood. ScriptBook uses artificial intelligence to algorithmically decide which screenplays to pursue and which to reject in order to make the most profit and even achieve awards success. Presenting ScriptBook at the Karlovy Vary Intl. Film Festival, Azermai said that when analysing the screenplays for Sony's releases between 2015 and 2017, it correctly spotted 22 of the 32 movies that were box-office failures from a total of 62 movies. Or, as Azermai summed it up according to a report in Variety: "If Sony had used our system they could have eliminated 22 movies that failed financially." 2018-07-06 00:00:00 Read the full story.

Towns and cities that host regular pop-up events are reaping significant financial rewards, including stronger house prices, new research has found.
Regular pop-up events, such as farmers markets and festivals, tend to help boost local trade and create a greater sense of community and social cohesion, not to mention provide local areas with major financial benefits. But have you ever considered the impact that they can have on house prices?
New research has found that regular pop-up events can significantly boost the value of homes in towns and cities that host such events.
A nationwide study of 1,000 households, conducted by ATG Access for its 'Protecting the future of multifunctional cities' report, found that these more vibrant and active areas saw knock on effects on stronger house prices, more trade for local shops and businesses, and a greater sense of solidarity and togetherness.
The study found that almost a third of the public – 32% – attend such events at least twice a year, with research by Manchester Metropolitan University revealing that areas which regularly host such occasions see an average uplift of 27% in visitor numbers.
The research also revealed how events help to attract house buyers, boosting residential property prices and bringing more money into the local area.
Some 10% of home buyers would actually choose to live in a location based on the availability and frequency of public events taking place, according the research.
Beyond the economic benefits of festivals, the research also highlighted the wider positives of hosting festivals, markets and sporting events.
Almost half – 45% – of the general public agree that having events and gatherings take place in their area brings a wealth of benefits, from helping to create a greater sense of community spirit and cultural diversity, to encouraging greater investment in the region, and this includes through visitor attractions, residents buying property in the area, along with businesses setting up shop.


A gutsy performance saw Steelers win at Guildford for the first time in four attempts this season and gave hope in the dogfight for a place in the play offs.
Defensive-minded, it wasn't pretty. But it was a solid, competitive road game for Sheffield, who had lost all but one of their last six road trips.
Sheffield's penalty kill and goaltending was outstanding. The first period was the Jackson Whistle show. He blocked shots from every conceivable angle.
Steelers were in survival-mode from the off, Whistle making four saves in the first two minutes.
Guildford were using the width of their rink to shoot from all available lanes and Whistle stopped them all, including a rebound which fell to John Dunbar.
A backhand from Jordan Owens was pad-saved at the other end, but Flames had the momentum.
Davey Phillips failed to clear the puck and Ben Davies became the next to be foiled by Whistle.
After such a dogged period, Steelers carried on by finishing their checks in a delayed second session.
Chris Carrozzi then showed his mettle in the opposing net, plucking an Aaron Johnson effort out of the air. But Carozzi could do nothing when Eric Neiley shot through a busy crease at 30:19.
Flames' Calle Ackered hit both the post and the cross bar in one shift.
But Anthony DeLuca's confidence up front was illustrated when he popped in a 2-0 goal against the run of play at 37:58.
However a delayed penalty goal from Erik Lindhagen kept Paul Dixon's team in the hunt at 39;21.
That goal had come just at the wrong time for Sheffield -the last period was going to be test of character.
Steelers laid siege in a power play and their pace and energy was asking questions of the home defence.
Then it was Flames' fourth chance at the power play, peppering Whistle with shots.
Ben Davies hit the post with two minutes left.

Q: SQL search with special characters I have a table that contains names that are in German and have special characters in them like: ä, ö, ü, etc. This is how I search that table:
SELECT users.name FROM users WHERE users.name LIKE '%sch%' LIMIT 8

Let say that we have a user named "Schön" and someone types in search "Schon" . The above code will return 0 rows since ö != o.
What is the best practice when handling special characters like this? I know that I could replace characters but that's just pointless.

A: The query will fail to return any names that do not contain sch; it has nothing to do with o or ö.
Apparently your collation does not do case folding, or else the Sch in Schön would have been caught by LIKE '%sch%'.
Please provide SHOW CREATE TABLE users.  You should find that the collation for name is ..._bin.  This says S != s and ö != o.

ACORE Capital Closes $556M Debt Fund
Along with its closing of $2 billion in separate accounts capital, the company now has a combined incremental lending capacity of up to $7 billion.
Scott Baltic
ACORE Capital LP has reached the final closing of its first discretionary commingled real estate debt fund. ACORE Credit IV raised a total of $556 million, with a focus on originating and managing transitional/bridge commercial real estate debt investments in the U.S. Additionally, the company also closed $2 billion of separate account mandates, targeting similar CRE lending opportunities.
The investors in ACORE Credit IV reportedly comprise a diverse group of international institutions from North America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia, including public and private pension plans, insurance companies, investment advisers, foundations and family offices. The separate account investors are global insurance companies that prefer investing via separate accounts over commingled funds.
ACORE Credit IV has already made 19 investments representing about $308 million of fund equity capital committed and is about 62 percent committed (net of reserves). These loans are diversified by property type, geography and borrowers.
The fund reportedly intends to capitalize on ACORE's established lending platform and industry relationships to source, originate, underwrite and asset-manage commercial real estate debt investments. Hodes Weill Securities LLC acted as the exclusive financial advisor and global placement agent to ACORE.
ACORE did not reply to Commercial Property Executive's request for additional information. As of March 2019, the company had approximately $13.6 billion in assets under management.
Project in a hot tech market
Last month, ACORE provided a construction loan that was part of a $313.8 million package of acquisition and construction funding for an office development in Sunnyvale, Calif. A joint venture of Harvest Properties and Invesco Real Estate bought the project, with three office buildings and a development site, with the goal of demolishing two of the three buildings and replacing them with new Class A office space, supplemented by a fourth building, also Class A, on the vacant site. An existing Class B building will remain. Called Catalyst, the project will total about 588,000 square feet on completion.

I haven't blogged about my running in months. Partly because there wasn't much to say, and partly because I've just been plodding along.
I ran my first 21km for 2016 today, and got my first medal for the year. It wasn't my first race though… we got a water bottle at the last race.
It was the Johnson Crane marathon in Benoni today. And it was the first time I've done it… and the route was new anyway, so everyone was in a similar boat and hadn't run it before.
It was very flat. Very flat. I was actually praying for a proper hill towards the end so that there'd be a downhill to coast on. It's hard work with a long flat race, there's just NO opportunity to relax at all.
The parking was a disaster… the traffic jams to get in and leave to go home were insane.
Other than that LOVED the race.
The marshalls were amazing, and hats off to EMPD who had to deal with very irate motorists on the route.
The water points were outstanding!! Although a friend who ran the 42, said that the water had run out at the last points by the time she ran through them. And it was HOT… so water was essential.
Loved the bag pipe bands that were playing along the route.
Anyway, as for my race, I didn't set out to do a PB. I'm running another 21km in 2 weeks time, so my aim was to take it easy and enjoy it. Well, I got to 15km, and thought I may have a chance to finish under 2h20. Then I got to 18km, and knew that if I just ran at the same pace without stopping at all, I'd make it… and I did!
I'm so very pleased with myself. I've finally got below the 2h20 barrier.
So now, the question is, what to do… before this race, I was seriously contemplating running a marathon this year. Just one. Just to say that I've done it.
But I'm shattered again, it's taken me the entire day to feel human again, and I still have a headache that I can't shake.
I'm sure I could run further, but a whole other 21km? That sounds highly improbable.
I was watching people finish the marathon today… not sure I want to put myself through that. And mostly not sure I want to be on the road for 6 hours!! I'm definitely not fast enough to do it under 5hrs like my friends are doing.
So I'm really undecided now… but erring on the side of no. I think I'll stick to 21s for a long while to come.
What an awesome time! Well done! And a PB! WHOHOOOO! Johnson Crane was my very first half marathon so I always return but after today, I doubt I will. It's tough! Way too flat! But agreed, the organisation was fantastic. I dunno. I think you'd be fine to do a full marathon. It's all in the head (so they say)!
Well done on that new PB!
Personally I decided to 'specialise' on shorter distances. Mostly 10s, some 15s and a few 21s and then work on speed.
The time needed for training is the one thing that's really putting me off… that and being on the road for 5-6 hours during a race!! That's the entire day gone.

Brandon University will host open public forum to talk about mental health
BRANDON – As Canadians mark Bell Let's Talk Day to focus on mental health, Brandon University (BU) is working to keep the discussion going.
Activities are happening all week long in the Mingling Area and across campus, including de-stress booths, massages, anxiety-reducing activities — and even puppies. It's part of Brandon University's ongoing work to promote and support mental health and wellness initiatives.
"Over the past decade, Let's Talk and Mental Health Week have really helped Canadians raise the prominence of mental health, but it's very concentrated at the end of January," said Dr. Rachel Herron, director of BU's Centre for Critical Studies of Rural Mental Health. "This spring, we are inviting everyone to a huge community gathering to help mental health conversations continue all year long."
The "Mental Health on the Prairies Conference and Community Gathering" will be held at BU from April 29 through May 1 as one of many BU initiatives making space for the community to talk about mental health. The gathering will bring together people who experience mental health problems, people who provide support and services for mental health, and people who research mental health to discuss experience, needs and solutions.
"We are combining traditional research presentations with fun experiential activities and a community forum in an innovative way that will be interesting and engaging for people of every background," Herron said. "Everyone is encouraged to attend all aspects of the event."
The gathering will see more than 65 people sharing their stories as researchers, service providers, and people with lived experience of mental health problems.
The first evening of the event will kick off with a public keynote by former Wheat King star Jordin Tootoo, the first Inuk player in history to be drafted by the NHL. Tootoo's talk will focus on creating a culture of inclusivity to promote mental health. Tickets are now on sale at the Westman Centennial Auditorium.
Leading researchers on mental health from across Canada will bring their expertise to the event, including Dr. Michael Ungar, who is a Canada Research Chair in Child, Family and Community Resilience at Dalhousie University. Dr. Ungar will talk about nurturing resilience through strong community during the first day of the event.
On the second day, Dr. Caroline Tait from University of Saskatchewan and Devon Napope, a First Nations advocate, will combine years of research with the art of spoken word poetry to deliver a powerful call to action.
Building on the conference themes of resilience, vulnerability and social justice, participants in the meeting will also have an opportunity to actively engage by 'walking in others' shoes' during experiential activities, including a poverty simulation, a forced displacement exercise, a blanket exercise, and a virtual dementia tour. Participants can choose one of the experiences to attend.
"Ultimately, we want to bring together applied experts like those working on the front lines and people with lived experience, with academic experts from across the country, to share knowledge and engage in critical conversations about community-based mental health research and solutions," Herron said.
"We encourage people to continue the conversation and take action about mental health in the upcoming conference and community gathering."

Donald Trump's approval rating hits historic low as public blames president for government shutdown
Trump's two-year average rating far dwindles the 61 percent average for the former 12 U.S. presidents since 1945
Check out this article! https://www.salon.com/2019/01/28/donald-trumps-approval-rating-hits-historic-low-as-public-blames-president-for-government-shutdown/
Shira Tarlo
President Donald Trump's job approval rating sits at a historic low for any president after two years in office, as blame for the partial government shutdown continues to focus on him and his party in Congress, according to a new poll.
The survey, produced by ABC News/Washington Post, found that the president's job approval rating is at 37 percent — the lowest two-year average rating on record for a president at this point in office in polls going back 72 years. Trump's two-year average rating far dwindles the 61 percent average for the former 12 U.S. presidents since 1945.
Additionally, 53 percent of voters blame Trump and Republicans in Congress for the month-long partial government shutdown, which ended on Friday after the president and congressional Democrats brokered a deal to reopen the government for three weeks until Feb. 15. Negotiations over border security and a spending package that includes the $5.7 billion the commander-in-chief has claimed is necessary to construct a "wall" along the U.S.-Mexico border are expected to continue.
The shutdown, which began shortly before the Christmas holiday and entered into its 34th day, was the longest budget impasse in U.S. history — and 60 percent of voters disapprove of how Trump handled efforts to end it, according to the poll. Meanwhile, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Democratic lawmakers received far less blame — 34 percent. Nonetheless, 54 percent of Americans disapprove of their work on reopening the government.
Then there are divisions among other factions. Among women, Trump's approval rating dropped to a new low of 27 percent. His rating is higher among men at 49 percent. The president's rating also hit a new low among political independents, often considered the swing group in American politics, at 32 percent.
Additionally, the partial government shutdown caused the U.S. economy to lose nearly $3 billion, which it will never recover, according to a report released by the Congressional Budget Office on Monday. The findings concluded that the five-week shutdown estimates the GDP "in the fourth quarter of 2018 was reduced by $3 billion . . . in relation to what it would have been otherwise." Further, the GDP was reduced by an additional estimated $8 billion in the first quarter of 2019. In other words, furloughed workers and lost productivity during the government shutdown cost the economy more money than the president's $5.7 billion wall along the southern border.
Over 800,000 federal employees were furloughed and hundreds of thousands employees, who were deemed essential, continued to work without pay during the shutdown. It is estimated that 1.2 million federal contract workers were impacted by the shutdown, according to NBC News. While federal employees are expected to receive their back pay, contracted employees likely will not see any payments.
"Underlying those effects on the overall economy are much more significant effects on individual businesses and workers," the CBO report stated. "Among those who experienced the largest and most direct negative effects are federal workers who faced delayed compensation and private-sector entities that lost business. Some of those private-sector entities will never recoup that lost income."

Maine Gov. Janet Mills, Congressional Delegation, state leaders welcome final passage of COVID-19 relief bill
Rep. Chellie Pingree said the American Rescue Plan is "one of the most important pieces of legislation Congress will ever pass"

MAINE, USA — Congress's final approval of the landmark $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief bill on Wednesday sparked immediate reactions from various Maine politicians, leaders, and groups who welcomed the news.
Maine Gov. Janet Mills
"Federal support continues to be critical in Maine's fight against the pandemic. This relief bill will bolster Maine's efforts to keep people healthy, get shots into arms, strengthen our economy, get back people back to work, and build a much stronger, better state.
This influx of funding will be a boon to Maine, to our health care institutions, to our unemployed, to education, and to Maine families generally. As we continue to digest the final language, we also look forward to receiving guidance from the Federal government on how these funds may be spent. Ultimately, I expect my Administration will present to the Legislature a biennial budget change package and a Back to Work bond proposal that take into consideration these new funds and that focus our efforts on protecting public health, strengthening our economy, and getting people back to work. I look forward to working with the Legislature to make the wisest choices on using these one-time funds to do the greatest amount of good for the greatest number of people who have been affected by this pandemic."
The Governor's Office said in a release that the Mills administration is reviewing the final language of the bill and is expecting additional guidance from the U.S. Treasury Department and various other federal agencies on "the acceptable use of funds."
Maine U.S. Rep. Chellie Pingree, D-CD1
"The American Rescue Plan is one of the most important pieces of legislation Congress will ever pass. With this vote, 90% of American households will get a stimulus check; schools and local and state governments will receive the funding they so desperately need to fill in the gaps; renters will be able to stay in their homes; families will be able to put food on the table; more vaccine shots will go into arms; and reliable broadband will become more accessible for rural states like Maine. This bill will also cut child poverty in half and create life-changing opportunity for the next generation and their parents. Without significant action, the economic damage caused by COVID-19 will last well beyond the pandemic. As someone who has long believed that government can and should be a force for good in our lives, I'm proud to have supported this legislation from the beginning. Maine families will feel lasting relief when this bill is signed into law by President Biden."

Maine U.S. Rep. Jared Golden, D-CD2
Golden was the only Democrat in the House who voted against the bill on Wednesday. A spokesperson for Golden told NEWS CENTER Maine the congressman is "not available for interviews," regarding his vote.
Ahead of the vote, he released the following statement:
"I will vote against the coronavirus relief legislation passed by the Senate over the weekend.
While the Senate made modest changes to the legislation, some of those changes undermined parts of the bill I do support, and others were insufficient to address my concerns with the overall size and scope of the bill. Although I support the Senate's effort to reduce the number of wealthier households that will receive stimulus checks, they did not go far enough, and other changes — like removing the minimum wage increase or providing a lower unemployment benefit — undermined policies that I support. I voted for a $15 minimum wage in the last Congress, and given the opportunity, I intend to do so again.
I know there are people who will continue to need assistance getting through the final stages of this pandemic, which is why I have argued that Congress should have addressed their needs with a targeted bill that extends unemployment benefits, funds vaccine distribution, and increases investments in our public health infrastructure.
My vote today should not be construed as an unwillingness to support my constituents and the economy through this pandemic. That very willingness is why I have supported $4 trillion in spending in the last year on food assistance, child care subsidies, relief for renters and homeowners, federal unemployment assistance, and support for small businesses. However, many of these programs are not currently at risk of running out of funding, thanks to the nearly $1 trillion bill we passed in late December, and some of these programs are only just now beginning to be distributed to people in Maine.
When combined with the over $4 trillion we have already spent battling the coronavirus, borrowing and spending hundreds of billions more in excess of meeting the most urgent needs poses a risk to both our economic recovery and the priorities I would like to work with the Biden Administration to achieve, like rebuilding our nation's infrastructure and fixing our broken and unaffordable healthcare system."
RELATED: Golden the only Democrat to vote against $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief package
Maine Independent U.S. Sen. Angus King
King and Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., helped negotiate including $10 billion in funding for broadband and $7 billion to close the digital divide for students in the relief package. King said at least $100 million of that funding will be heading to Maine.
"As the coronavirus pandemic forced people across the country to reimagine daily life, there was no tool more valuable than an affordable, high-speed broadband connection. Over the last year, a high-speed broadband connection has helped Americans work remotely, engage in distance learning, access telemedicine, and stay connected with family and loved ones. But for too many, slow broadband speeds have blocked them from these essential tools – especially in rural communities, low-income households, and on tribal lands.
The pandemic has cost Americans so much already; we cannot allow another casualty of this virus to be the widening of the digital divide harming our rural and underserved communities. Funds for broadband infrastructure and digital equity will create jobs in the short-term to speed America's economic recovery, and support long-term economic success for rural communities by allowing Americans to pursue economic and educational success, no matter where they live."

Maine Republican U.S. Sen. Susan Collins
Collins opposed the $1.9 trillion package and voted against it in the Senate this past weekend.
In an interview with NEWS CENTER Maine's Pat Callaghan Wednesday afternoon, Collins said, "There are parts of the package that are clearly good for Maine," but "there are also provisions that have absolutely nothing to do with the pandemic."
"I wouldn't say it's good for Maine taxpayers in general, however, because unlike our package that I put forth, which was valued at $650 billion, this is $1.9 trillion, so it's going to increase our debt, it could cause interest rates to rise, and it has the potential of igniting inflation. If that happens, that will not be good for families in Maine," Collins said.
"But there are many provisions of it that I support. I support direct checks, I support the aid for vaccinations and for testing. I support the additional funding for the PPP program to help our small businesses. I support additional help for schools, although there's so much money for schools in here that it won't be spent until the year 2028, so that's not exactly COVID-related."
"So there's some good provisions in here, and there are also provisions that have absolutely nothing to do with the pandemic."
Maine Democratic Party Chair Drew Gattine
"We are excited about the American Rescue Plan and what it will deliver to the people, communities, towns, and state of Maine.
This legislation includes $1,400 stimulus checks, extends unemployment benefits, provides funding for Maine's state and local governments, and funds COVID-19 testing, vaccinations, and contract tracing, among other provisions.
Our Democratic Party strives every day to address the unmet needs of Maine people, especially during this unprecedented pandemic. Some may wish this bill had gone further and others may worry about the implications of certain provisions; our party is not a monolith. We have always been and always will be home to a diverse range of perspectives but unified in our commitment to building a better Maine.
The American Rescue Plan is the first of what will be many legislative accomplishments for President Biden. Under his strong and compassionate leadership, our country is steadily moving out of this brutal pandemic and into a better, more just future."
President Joe Biden
For weeks now, an overwhelming percentage of Americans – Democrats, Independents, and Republicans – have made it clear they support the American Rescue Plan. Today, with final passage in the House of Representatives, their voice has been heard.
Now we move forward with the resources needed to vaccinate the nation. To get $1,400 in direct payments to 85% of American households. To expand coverage and help with lowering health care premiums. To give small businesses what they need to stay open. To expand unemployment insurance, provide food and nutrition assistance. To help keep a roof over people's heads. To cut child poverty in half.
This legislation is about giving the backbone of this nation – the essential workers, the working people who built this country, the people who keep this country going – a fighting chance.
I want to thank all the members who voted for it, especially Speaker Pelosi, the finest and most capable speaker in the history of our nation. Once again, she has led into law an historic piece of legislation that addresses a major crisis and lifts up millions of Americans.
On Friday, I look forward to signing the American Rescue Plan into law at the White House – a people's law at the people's house.
Help is here. https://t.co/urZCiigeS1
— President Biden (@POTUS) March 10, 2021
Maine AFL-CIO President Cynthia Phinney
"This legislation would provide critical relief to workers struggling in the worst economic and public health crisis we've seen in a century. It would also ensure that we more quickly and equitably come out of this economic crisis. We are pleased that Senator Angus King and Congressman Chellie Pingree and her colleagues understand the urgency to pass such a robust stimulus as it has taken nearly a decade for many working people to fully recover from the Great Recession. We are very disappointed that Congressman Jared Golden and Senator Susan Collins chose not to support this pro-worker legislation. It is crystal clear that working people in Maine and across the country will be significantly better off under this new law."
Maine Center for Economic Policy (MECEP) Executive Director Garrett Martin
"MECEP thanks Sen. Angus King and Rep. Chellie Pingree for working hard to pass the American Rescue Plan and delivering the relief our state sorely needs. We are equally disappointed that Sen. Susan Collins and Rep. Jared Golden opposed the plan; Had they prevailed, Mainers would have been left in the lurch without crucial relief during this unprecedented crisis.
The American Rescue Plan provides much-needed but temporary relief. As we approach the one-year mark of the COVID-19 public health and economic crisis, it has become increasingly clear that economic recovery isn't going to happen overnight — particularly for people of color, who have waited longest in past recessions to see the gains from a rebounding job market. We have more work to do to build a more equitable economy that works for everyone. We look forward to working with Maine's congressional delegation to enact permanent policies that will reduce the longstanding inequities that were exacerbated by the COVID-19 public health and economic crisis."
Mainers for Accountable Leadership Director Marie Follayttar
"I cannot find a reasonable justification to vote against a bill that provides direct relief to 90% of Mainers, supports our schools and town budgets, funds shots in our arms to inoculate us against a pandemic and is supported by over 70% of the population. Rep. Golden voted against helping the people of Maine. Thank you to Representative Pingree for consistently putting the people of Maine first and for her vote to bring $6 billion in relief to Maine."
Maine Service Employees Association SEIU Local 1989 Vice President Allison Perkins
"For years we've been demanding Congress make working families and our communities, not corporations and the wealthy few, the priority. Today our voice was heard with Congress finally passing real and meaningful COVID-19 relief, something we've been demanding ever since this pandemic began over a year ago.
Today's passage of President Biden's American Rescue Plan will provide much-needed funding to our schools and state, local and tribal governments to ensure the quality services people all across our nation have been counting on to get through the pandemic. It will fund coronavirus vaccine distribution and testing. It will extend the expiring $300 weekly Unemployment Insurance boost through Sept. 6. It will provide for direct payments of up to $1,400 to most Americans, and it will expand the child tax credit and rental assistance.
This is exactly the kind of help our state and nation needs to get our economy back on track. The American Rescue Plan will help protect and support Maine's working families and unemployed workers so we can all get through this pandemic.
We appreciate Congresswoman Chellie Pingree fighting tooth and nail for the American Rescue Plan. Congresswoman Pingree provided the leadership our nation desperately needed at this critical time.
Congressman Jared Golden and Senator Susan Collins, however, let all of us down with their votes against the American Rescue Plan. The members of MSEA-SEIU Local 1989 are the boots on the ground as essential workers and see unmet needs every day. When the American people needed real COVID relief, Congressman Golden and Senator Collins instead decided to play politics with all of our lives. Maine's working families deserve better from Congressman Golden and Senator Collins."
President Biden is expected to sign the American Rescue Plan into law this week. Our fight, however, is not over. To our great disappointment, Congress excluded raising the federal minimum wage to $15 as part of the American Rescue Plan. The minimum wage has been stuck at $7.25 since 2009. That's inexcusable. Every worker in our great nation deserves to earn a living wage, so we'll keep fighting all the harder for $15."

Iron Fist Season 2 Episode 8 Review: Citadel On The Edge Of Vengeance

A bold new direction is teased in the concluding moments of Iron Fist's eight episode.
We're doing individual episode reviews of Iron Fist. Even though all episodes are out on Netflix, viewers may want to savor the show one episode at a time. The episode reviews may contain spoilers so discretion is advised while reading them.
Could that genuinely be a possibility? Can the showrunners behind Iron Fist truly take it in that direction?
The final moments of the episode present an intriguing direction for the series, one that would make it the first to execute a passing of the torch in Television. After being prepared by Colleen Wing to take down Davos, Danny Rand comes out of his training highly successful, but with doubt as to what would he do after having regained the powers of the fist. That's when he suggests that Colleen be the one to become the Iron Fist, having a much clearer insight and sense of vision about her intentions of protecting the city. It would be a major course correct for the show after the intense criticism Finn Jones has received for being chosen for the role, and a female Iron Fist could balance the Defenders in gender while also opening up new possibilities for a potential Season 3.
Then again, reveals of such nature often have a tendency to be reversed by the time the show concludes. It's thus highly possible that Danny regains a true sense of purpose and ends up defeating Davos with a clear bent of mind, establishing himself worthy of the Iron Fist mantle and negating the need for Colleen to step in. Whatever be the case, it's highly impressive to see the arc that Jessica Henwick has received as Colleen. Rarely is she shown as the damsel in distress (save for the third episode dinner). In today's episode in fact, it's she who fights and fends of Davos' threats as Danny frisks away members of the Hatchers and the Golden Tigers. Nice role-reversal there.
After playing around with her ambiguity over whose side she's on, the debate is finally settled when Joy digs out the bowl to help Danny get his powers back. She also contacts Ward for help who, after some initial confusion over what's going on, obliges gladly. Ward's been particularly off this season and I get the sense this run could've done without him altogether. The reveal from last episode also didn't seem to particularly have any affect, save for his efforts to get an apology bouquet, which he absentmindedly forgets at the store. Just like that dinner.
Walker's arc has become more intriguing with each episode and is now exhibiting shades of a very dark past, dark in the sense of bad things having happened to her. I must admit I was wrong when I connected her mention of Sokovia to the larger MCU narrative; this is a completely separate incident she went through and got out of and the fact that she doesn't have any memories of it suggests a third alter-ego hidden somewhere beneath her consciousness. I've developed some speculative theories as to what exactly happened to her but I'll hold off on them lest I risk being wrong again.
I also can't help but feel this episode had a rushed quality to it. This is particularly evident in the opening prologue as well as the sequence where Danny and Colleen prevent Davos from getting to the gang leaders. It almost felt as if it ran in fast-forward; not sure if it's a directorial choice to mask a visible defect in how it was shot or if it's just me. Davos himself has reached a point of no-redemption; we clearly see what the fist has done to him and he's triggered by the slightest suspicion of mal-intent, wanting to slam the fist down the other person's intestines.
We're now in the final two episodes and so far, Iron Fist has kept true to its plot, without risking any abrupt introductions. Will Davos be taken care of before the finale itself? Will Walker turn out to be the real threat? It won't be long before I have the answers and I'll be glad to report them for those interested.

When I graduated the hot topic was then chemistry, mostly organic but anything to do with chemistry was IN. Engineering was considered ho-hum, aviation was in the doldrums especially in Europe, and electronics & computing — nobody blathered on about 'cybernetics' or 'cybersecurity' in public back then — held no potential. The future was chemistry.
Remember the line "Better Living Though Chemistry"?
About a year after I graduated I met up with an old room-mate from my first year who had graduated in "chemistry" and went to work for a subsidiary of the same mega-conglomerate of the time that made Schweppes soda water. His job amounted to being a 'bottle-washer'. Cleaning reaction vessels for purity tests and basic reagent management in Quality Control. One the side it entitles him to endless free miniature bottles of soda water and soda fruit drinks. By then I was the lead engineer & project manager designing with the new VLSI technology, had two engineers reporting to me , three technicians/apprentices and a Nova minicomputer and programmer for same to run simulations on, as well as piles of equipment to and test rigs. Successful tests and simulation I had budget so I could submit to a silicon foundry.
Of course I toned this down for my ex-room-mate who had listened to the career counselors who told him that the future was in Chemistry.
Now I see hordes of lemmings wanting in on 'Cybersecurity'; its fashionable, the media bleats on about it, Hollywood bleats on about it , The white House bleats on about it. I see kids like the ones that dun me on LinkedIn who want to – as they so ironically put it – "Break In" to the Cybersecurity world for a career.
Of course there's money to be made with this "Go! Lemmings, GO!" attitude.
We all know that eventually it will mature out; that IoT will become yet another "white goods" market segment like laser printers and USB hubs and flat screen TVs and asbestos-free brake pads.
But along the way, while the 'Gold Rush" is on, there's a lot of money to be made.
