Not my Problem by Ciara Smyth, Audiobook narrated by Sarah Jane Drummey

Another excellent YA novel by Ciara Smyth
After listening to Ciara Smyth's debut The Falling in Love Montage, and absolutely loving it, this author got automatically in my to read/listen list. So when her new novel was released I jumped at the opportunity to listen to the audiobook.
Aideen is a 16-year-old with plenty of problems of her own but when she stumbles upon her nemesis Meabh Kowalski who is visibly distressed by her overwhelming schedule, she offers her assistance. Aideen just needs to push her down the stairs to give Meabh a sprained ankle and free her from some extracurricular activities. After the success of the scheme, other students start to ask Aideen for favours which will set out a series of ill-advised shenanigans and a chance at love. But will Aideen be able to solve her own problems?
This was another fantastic Young Adult novel by Ciara Smyth. As in her debut book, Ms. Smyth shows that she can write novels with equal measures of humour and depth. This book will make you laugh and cry with the same intensity. Your heart will go out to Aideen and Meabh's struggles with their family issues while trying to navigate through the hardships of secondary school, friendships and love.
One of my favourite things about Ciara Smyth's books is that they are set in Ireland which is a rarity as most lesbian fiction is set in the US. Not only that, but it really has an authentic Irish feel, starting with the unrepentant use of slang (such as craic, eejit, or deadly), followed by a deep immersion inside Irish culture, including its very peculiar sense of humor (Ms. Devlin, Aideen's PE teacher, is a great example). Having lived in Ireland for more than a decade now, I love their politically incorrect sense of humour which Ms. Smyth expresses perfectly. The author also describes accurately the demands of Irish secondary school and issues of race and class in Ireland.
The complete cast of characters is very well fleshed out, from the leads to all the secondary ones. All of them sound authentic in their ages and have distinguishable personalities. Written in first person from the exclusive point of view of Aideen, the reader gets to see her struggles to overcome a difficult family situation in which she sometimes has to be the adult. This novel could have become a huge drama – and there are a few heartbreaking moments to support this – but luckily, these heavy moments are balanced out with hilarious situations.
I've listened to the audiobook narrated by Sarah Jane Drummey who is an Irish actress. She not only did the Irish accents very well (obviously) but also the Indian and Scottish accents too. The different characters' voices are distinctive enough and her performance of the different emotions in the story is very convincing. Her narration made for a very enjoyable listening experience. 5 stars.
Length: 9 hours, 38 minutes

America Needs More Luxury Housing, Not Less
New market-rate development helps relieve pressure on local housing prices.
By M. Nolan Gray
Sandy Carson / GalleryStock
Updated at 9:15 a.m. ET on April 13, 2021.
If you were intentionally designing a development to spark a NIMBY backlash, you might come up with something that looks a lot like the Clay Apartments.* A brand new building located in Seattle's rapidly developing Capitol Hill neighborhood, it adheres to a modern aesthetic of poured concrete, muted tones, and floor-to-ceiling windows. True to form, the website for the Clay Apartments celebrates amenities such as a rooftop deck and stainless steel appliances. Hosting 76 "micro units," the project seems perfectly optimized to house the well-paid, single young professionals that companies such as Amazon have attracted to the city in droves.
Today, however, the Clay Apartments house Seattlites earning roughly a third of the median income, most of whom have recently struggled with homelessness. As reported in Next City, thanks to a deal struck by a local affordable housing non-profit, those suffering the brunt of Seattle's housing shortage—a crisis that leaves nearly 12,000 Seatellites homeless—now enjoy a safe place to call home.
Although the Clay Apartments project is exceptional in many ways, it's far from the only development to blur the line between luxury and affordable housing: These aren't stable, or standardized, concepts. Nevertheless, carping about "luxury development"—or more accurately, any market-rate development—has emerged as the preferred angle for opposing housing construction. In the recent past, the typical NIMBY complaint was that new housing was too affordable, and thus a threat to "community character," a term loaded with racial baggage. Today's NIMBYism, savvy to a changing political landscape, makes hay opposing new housing on the basis that it isn't affordable enough.
Read: From 'Not in my backyard' to 'Yes in my backyard'
Advanced by an unholy alliance of cynical property owners and misinformed activists, the argument goes like this: If local governments were to remove the arbitrary zoning barriers that are behind America's housing shortage, developers would build only luxury apartments and condos. Such housing would be leased or sold at price points well beyond what regular working families can afford. At best, these units would sit empty as "safety deposit boxes in the sky," doing nothing to ease the affordability crisis. At worst, all this new luxury could trigger higher housing costs, as developers rush in to demolish older affordable units and throw up residential towers.
This story has captured the minds of many local policy makers. But it's nonsense. For all the NIMBY pearl-clutching over the construction of luxury apartments and condos, American cities aren't building enough of them.
At the risk of stating the obvious, luxury is just a marketing term. Much of what is eagerly cast today as "luxurious" is run-of-the-mill new or refurbished housing. Developers and real-estate brokers are not in the modesty business—they're in the business of building, leasing, and selling homes, which depends on a flair for hyperbole. No recently built apartment or condo is merely "new" or "nice." It's luxury housing. Thus, a pleasant if unremarkable student apartment building in my neighborhood near UCLA might promise prospective residents "a life of luxury and endless comforts."
The distinction between marketing and reality is crucial. Take Promenade Pointe in Norfolk, Virginia, an apartment building derided by neighbors as unwanted luxury housing. Yes, the building's website promises "premiere luxury" including de rigueur granite countertops and stainless-steel appliances. But truthfully it's a rather humdrum suburban apartment building, leasing at rates affordable to many Norfolk families. A successful attempt to block Promenade Pointe would have left a lot of regular people without a home.
Similarly, the recent surge in small-scale condo development in North Brooklyn has spurred intense concern about new development changing the grungy character of America's "hipster paradise." As demand for housing surges, developers have indeed found clever ways to build more units on underutilized lots. And these new condos are no one's idea of affordable housing—prices for a studio hover at just over $500,000. Anyone grumbling about the North Brooklyn that was, however, has to grapple with the fact that these new condos are a fraction of the cost of nearby existing townhouses, which start at about $2 million. When a Brooklyn brownstoner complains about all the "luxury" condo development under way, she is usually criticizing homes far more affordable than her own.
For all the preoccupation with luxury, new apartments and condos are nearly always cheaper than existing single-family homes. As my UCLA colleague Shane Phillips points out, in every housing market in North America, a typical condo will cost a quarter to half as much as a single-family home. While a ramshackle bungalow in an expensive city such as Los Angeles might look cheaper than the shimmering new high-rise down the street, the reality is that a condo in that building will cost much less than the low-slung house. This is why density exists in the first place: Where land costs are high, building up allows us to spread these costs across more units, enabling more families to afford a home in their preferred neighborhood.
Scott Wiener and Anthony Iton: A backlash against cities would be dangerous
New multifamily development is not only more accessible than the typical single-family home; it may also help ease escalating housing prices. For decades, urban economists have argued that the affordable-housing crisis is a straightforward matter of demand outstripping supply: A lot of people want to live in certain neighborhoods, yet we don't build enough housing to accommodate all of them. As a result, many households are forced to bid up the price of a fixed housing supply, until you get shacks in San Francisco selling for millions. From this angle, the need to build more housing—even luxury housing—is obvious. In a hot neighborhood, the young professionals are coming, for better or worse. Why not build giant "yuppie fish tanks" to absorb all that demand, sparing the existing housing supply?
A flurry of studies over the past few years have consistently found that new market-rate development, even of the luxury variety, helps relieve pressure on local housing prices in this way. According to one 2019 study of low-income census tracts, the construction of new market-rate rentals resulted in rents for nearby buildings falling by 5 to 7 percent. A more recent 2021 study, by the economist Kate Pennington, looking exclusively at San Francisco, found a more modest drop of 2 percent, alongside evidence that new development reduces the displacement and eviction of existing residents. It might not change minds at a raucous public hearing, but the research is clear: Even new high-end development can help cool local housing prices.
Luxury housing also has a curious way of turning into affordable housing through a phenomenon known as "filtering." As buildings age, designs fall out of fashion and affluent residents move into newer homes, allowing prices to decline. If you rent an apartment built more than 50 years ago, you may well be living in yesteryear's luxury. Take the Metropolitan in D.C.'s Eckington neighborhood: Built in a lavish Art Deco style in the late 1930s, it was once the height of luxury; today, even after careful restoration, it commands rents close to the metropolitan average. The luxury housing built today will follow a similar path to affordability, if we let it.
This filtering effect can happen overnight. In the case of the Clay Apartments, a nonprofit was able to snap up a luxury building before leases were signed. At about $240,000 a unit, that housing didn't come cheap. But with new affordable housing in Seattle costing roughly $300,000 a unit to build, in many cases it's cheaper for affordable-housing agencies to simply buy up and convert existing market-rate units into income-restricted housing. Down the coast, in San Francisco—where each new unit of affordable housing runs about $750,000—letting luxury development rip while buying up and restricting some of it to low-income residents might be the only scalable way to produce affordable housing.
Even without the fancy financial footwork of a project such as the Clay Apartments, we don't have to wait a century for luxury housing to add to the affordable supply. In a 2019 study, the economist Evan Mast found that even pricey development in wealthy neighborhoods sparks a chain reaction that extends all the way to the bottom of the housing market, as richer residents vacate older units for newer ones. The data suggest that for every 100 market-rate units built, as many as 48 moderate-income households can move into nicer housing. If this more subtle form of filtering is as robust as these findings indicate, luxury housing may quietly be generating a lot of affordable housing as soon as the first residents move in.
None of this is to say that high housing prices aren't a problem—far from it. But any given luxury development is a symptom of—and in a small way, part of the cure for—a broader set of issues. As the urbanist writer Daniel Herriges suggests, what makes new housing expensive is not so much the amenities that brokers like to gush about, but the lack of supply in certain locations. In a context of extreme scarcity, the price of anything that gets built in a fashionable neighborhood such as New York's SoHo or L.A.'s Venice will be exorbitant. The solution is not to stop developments with granite countertops, but to build many more like them, particularly in affluent areas.
Better yet, local policy makers could simply stop driving up the price on new housing with ill-considered zoning codes. Minimum parking requirements, for instance, which condition the construction of new housing on the provision of off-street parking spaces, can easily add $50,000 to the cost of each new condo, regardless of whether the prospective residents want or need parking. Rules of this nature abound in zoning codes, including mandates requiring large homes and prohibitions on the construction of inherently affordable duplexes and fourplexes.
Houston, a city that has attracted nearly 500,000 new residents over the past 20 years, reveals what easing land-use rules might actually look like: Back in 1998, facing early warning signs of an impending housing crunch, city planners dropped the minimum lot size needed to build a home from 5,000 to 1,400 square feet, such that developers could turn any given ranch-style home into three townhouses. As a result, more than 25,000 new townhouses were built in neighborhoods with easy access to transit and jobs, helping keep Houston one of the most affordable cities in America. Many of the new townhomes are quite nice. Some even flaunt granite countertops and stainless-steel appliances. But the best-kept secret about luxury is that, if you keep building it, eventually there's enough for everyone.
*This article previously misidentified the Clay Apartments as 10 Clay, a building located in the Belltown neighborhood of Seattle

TV #SDCC2016: "The Vampire Diaries" Confirms Last Season; Reveals Tearjerking Farewell Video
#SDCC2016: "The Vampire Diaries" Confirms Last Season; Reveals Tearjerking Farewell Video
Teasers and unexpected videos aside, this year's San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC) also saw the cast and crew of popular The CW show, "The Vampire Diaries", coming together during a panel to deliver confirmation about the series' long-rumoured end.
Yes, it is true.
After 8 years of growing up in Mystic Falls with the beloved "The Vampire Diaries" characters, some with less humanity than others, time has finally run out and season 8 will be the show's last.
Present at the panel were the the all-star members of the cast – Ian Somerhalder (Damon Salvatore), Kat Graham (Bonnie Bennett), Paul Wesley (Stefan Salvatore), Candice King (Caroline Forbes), Michael Malarkey (Enzo St. John), Matthew Davis (Alaric Saltzman), Zach Roerig (Matt Donovan) – as well as executive producers Kevin Williamson and Julie Plec.
Julie made the official announcement saying, "The greatest honour you can have as a storyteller in the business of television is to be able to make those decisions with your peers, and with your friends, and your fellow storytellers and we all have discussed it and we have made the decision that this is it. And you guys are here for our last Comic Con, because this is going to be the final season of 'The Vampire Diaries'. It's bittersweet and emotional, and we're going to be crying in about 5 minutes."
"But we wanted to be the ones to tell you guys first because you've been with us on this run. And it has been a beautiful run," she added, in a special message directed to the fans.
The CW President Mark Pedowitz also chimed in with his own statement regarding the end of "The Vampire Diaries", saying, "'The Vampire Diaries' has meant so much to so many fans around the world, and has meant so much to all of us at The CW. I am a huge fan of the show myself, and I've seen every episode. So I am very happy that we can give Julie and Kevin the chance to finish their story the way they have envisioned, and to give viewers a fantastic conclusion to eight spectacular seasons."
"The Vampire Diaries" first aired on The CW back in September 2009. The pilot episode attracted the largest audience for The CW of any series premiere since the network began in 2006. The first season averaged 3.60 million viewers and following seasons have maintained an audience of over 2 million viewers. It was the most-watched series on the network before being supplanted by "Arrow".
We're sure that thousands of "The Vampire Diaries" fans from around the globe collectively shed tears upon Julie's announcement. We know we did. And no goodbye would've been complete without a tribute video. So bless the cast and crew of the show for putting together a farewell video, featuring the exclusive premiere of The Fray's "Changing Tides", which was screened following Julie's announcement.
Watch, and just you try not to cry:

Season 8 and the final season of the series will feature a new evil of a whole different level and is expected to air on 21st October 2016, with a series finale date to be announced later. It is not known if Nina Dobrev (Elena Gilbert) will return for the finale for an official bow-out.

Samurai Jack #5 (Comics Review)
And so we come to it. The final installment of Jim Zub's first arc on Samurai Jack. At least, I think this is the final installment, considering how the story here plays out. Its been one hell of a ride thus far and Jim Zub, along with artists Andy Suriano and Josh Burcham and Shawn Lee has done some great work. The previous four issues have been intensely enjoyable, largely in part because the stories and the art have stayed true to the original concept of the Samurai Jack setting, which is a pretty huge plus as far as I am concerned.
With issue #5 we see how Jack's quest to find all the threads of time and rewound the Rope of Eons plays out to its conclusion. Jack has fought numerous monsters and villains to get to this point and now, finally, he is on his way to collect the final thread, which is in the possession of none other than Aku himself, Jack's greatest nemesis, and the one responsible for removing him from his time in the first place. All the things that I wanted from this issue, I got, because Jim understands the setting and the characters, and because the artists are just so damn good in every possible way.

Comics Picks of The Week 22.01.2014
So this past week proved to be a rather busy week. Lots of comics came out and I think there were something like 30 titles I was interested in, not to mention my huge backlog which stretches quite a bit too. Still, I read quite a few, and I'm mostly happy with them. Interestingly enough I read almost twice as many Marvel titles as I did DC, which was a surprise considering that I enjoy DC far more and find it to be a much easier universe to get into. But, I suppose its the whole All-New Marvel NOW! relaunch at work since three of the titles I read were part of this.
My Superior Spider-Man read-through continued as well with Volume 2, which I really, really enjoyed, and will have a review going up soon for the first two volumes. I couldn't really be bothered when the title launched last year but now that I've gotten a taste of it, I want more. Doc Ock as Spider-Man is really interesting and really good.
Anyway, here's another edition of this new feature. Full reading list, as always, is available here and all my comics reviews are available here.

As part of my "end of year" lists for 2013, I did a post recently for The Founding Fields where I mentioned the 5 best new comics of the year. Jim Zub and Andy Suriano's Samurai Jack from IDW made it pretty high on that list and for good reason. It is a damn amazing series that I've enjoyed from day one and the creators have really taken me on a bittersweet nostalgia trip with it. Seeing Jack back again like this was a highlight of the previous year and with Samurai Jack #4 it looks like the creators are starting the year off with a bang.
The previous issues have had a big mix of situations for Jack to tackle. Outright villains, outright villainy, subtle emotional subtext and more has all been seen so far. Samurai Jack #4 goes back to basics somewhat, presenting a clear target for the hero to take down and prove his worth once more in his quest to rewound the Rope of Eons so that he can return to his own time. And of course, the art is amazing as always, most of all the colours, which were just brilliant altogether.

Best of 2013 Part 2c: Monthly Comics
A few days ago I did my best of 2013 list for the books I had read in the second half of the year. In a departure from previous such lists I divided the books and the comics into separate posts so that I didn't have one massive post up. Massive posts are a bit tough to handle, especially when you are promoting them on social media. And with the split posts, the directions are different and there's no unnecessary crossover.
So, with the novels and graphic novels already having been covered, I now delve into my favourite monthlies of the year. This is the final "best of" list I'm doing for 2013 that involves reading.
Let's see what makes the cut and which comes close then!

12 Days of Best SFF Characters of 2013: Day #12
For this new seasonal list of the best SFF characters I've read this year, my twelfth and final pick is actually a tie. Its no secret to anyone reading my blog and reviews that there are two series that have come out this year that have had a great impression on me and have really taken me on a bit of a nostalgia trip, one of them more than the other. The first is Red Sonja from Gail Simone and Walter Geovani's excellent new Red Sonja series from Dynamite and the second is Samurai Jack Jim Zub and Andy Suriano's brand-new series Samurai Jack from IDW Publishing, based on the Cartoon Network series of the same name from the early 2000s.
Hit the break to see why I picked these characters.

Looks like its going to be the month of busy weeks. The last two weeks I've read two graphic novels each along with all my regular monthlies and this past week proved to be no different. Both Detective Comics Volume 4 and The Flash Volume 4 proved to be exceedingly good and now I have two more series that I need to catch up on for the New 52. Tall order, but doable. And as regards the usual monthlies, there were comics across the board, in all sorts of ways: genres, publishers, characters, etc, etc. The year has slowly transformed over the months into a really solid year for comics overall.
I still haven't made any dent in the pile of graphic novels I have to read, but I'm not too worried about any of it, to be honest. Already used to that phenomenon from my novel reading.

When Genndy Tartakovsky was at the helm of the Samurai Jack series over at Cartoon Network, one thing I distinctly remember was that often times the stories would be quite simple and straightforward, bu they would also have some deeper meanings. And often they could get very emotional too. In the first two issues of Jim Zub and Andy Suriano's Samurai Jack comics for IDW Publishing, a little bit of that emotional connection was missing. The stories were fantastic, and so was the art, but there was still that one missing component to them, in hindsight.
With the third issue, released today, however that all changes. As with most Samurai Jack stories, this one involves Jack coming to a new place, meeting the local bigwigs, fighting some monsters, and getting out in the nick of time thanks to his amazing sword skills. But there's still a bit of a twist here, and with that twist, Jim shows that he can keep things fresh for the readers as Jack searches for the Threads of Time to rewound the Rope of Eons and get back to his own time in order to defeat Aku. As with the previous two issues, I loved this one as well.
Samurai Jack #2 by Jim Zub (Comics Review)
Last month, IDW launched a Samurai Jack ongoing series, penned by Jim Zub and drawn by Andy Suriano. It was a fantastic launch with a story that was very true to the core concept and feel of the old animated series from Cartoon Network and the same could easily be said for the artwork as well. As a fan of the old animated series, I had tremendous fun with the first issue and had been waiting ever since for the second issue, which goes on sale today.
The second issue continues the story that Jim began in the first issue, in which Jack learned of a new way to get back to his own time and ultimately defeat Aku, the demon who is his greatest enemy. Jim continues with everything that made the first issue so good and he maintains the same vibe and atmosphere that defined the animated series. What really matters is that the second issue is pretty much every bit as good as the debut issue.
If, like me, you grew up in the heyday of Cartoon Network programming of the late 90s and early 2000s, then you are well familiar with the Samurai Jack animated series, created by Genndy Tartakovsky. The series ran from 2001-2004 to great acclaim and it is one of the very few CN series that I remember very fondly. It was, perhaps, one of the darkest cartoons I'd ever watched, but it was told in a way that the grim and gritty really balanced out with all the excellent humour.
Recently, IDW announced an ongoing comic series for Samurai Jack, bringing the character back after nearly a decade since the original days. I could not have been more excited. The first issue launches tomorrow, and to celebrate, IDW has commissioned no less than 10 covers for it! Its amazing to see the kind of passion that the publisher is putting into this project, and having just read the first issue, I will say that they are off to a fantastic start.

I have some services which accept char as input parameter e.g char langPref etc.
When I am trying to expose that service it is throwing an exception.
Can we send or return char in web services ?

A: Try to set an @Produces("text/plain") and return a String (cast from your char)
Likewise, an @Consumes should do the same trick for input.
(Having said that, you should probably emphasize the payload more. Just having chars as input/output is an indicator that your resource design is flawed)

Trust Sourcing How Machine Learning Improves Data Analysis?
How Can Machine Learning Improve Data Analysis?
There are thousands of companies working online today who use Data Analysis (DA) to use the information they gather more effectively. Prominent companies such as Facebook or Google use it to manage their massive amounts of data. It's impossible to deny the impact of DA in the world of business. However, it shouldn't be the only tool in your arsenal. Machine Learning (ML) takes things to a whole new level, and with the enormous gains in efficiency it offers, it is undoubtedly the future of analyzing data.
While DA offers an easy way for companies to asses their data, Machine Learning refers to the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) which enables systems to automatically learn from data and make predictions based on the data input.
As you can see, the difference between Data Analysis and Machine Learning is the predictive nature of the latter. While data analysis algorithms are effective in addressing the challenges of data management, Machine Learning takes it a step further by identifying various patterns of large data sets that companies can use to be more efficient.
Volvo - This car manufacturer has taken predictive technology a step further by using Machine Learning to determine when various parts of a car fail. This helps the company serve its customers better and prevent deferred maintenance.
American Express - Credit card companies deal with a lot of data. Because most of the data they deal with is financial, DA in combination with Machine Learning has been used for security purposes.
BMW - BMW has also implemented DA and ML in various departments. These range from the process of designing vehicles to sales management. Machine Learning has also pioneered a way for BMW to stay among the top companies in driverless technology.
Netflix - A big media corporation such as Netflix has a lot to gain by knowing what people want to watch. With Data Analysis and Machine Learning, they can predict certain trends, thus, offering more relevant and in-demand content for their audience.
Data Analysis using Machine Learning is becoming a prevalent trend, and many companies are already seeing its potential. It has been estimated that the total revenue in the ML and AI industry will reach $57.6 billion by the year 2021 . AI and ML can change how teams develop, deliver and organize work and how companies enhance their performance with business operations. Using Machine Learning in Data Analysis can enable a business to earn more profits from its projects, making it more competitive.
All business owners need to know the difference between good and bad data. It can be challenging to distinguish the two, especially when data quality is assessed manually. Advanced Data Analysis techniques are important, and this includes the use of Machine Learning software as well.
ML and DA can enable large enterprises to improve the accuracy or their inventory and product data. For a large business, manual management of data can be a big problem and can easily result in mismanagement of company data, deteriorating the quality of customer service in the process.
If you are running a large scale company, your primary data visualization goal should be making sure all the information is well illustrated. This is done using graphics that represent company statistics and other relevant information.
Dynamic dashboards are a vital component of business intelligence. They will enable team managers access to all the company data with the best available graphic representations. Machine Learning for visual Data Analysis plays an important role in helping companies decide on what to do with the data by making predictions.
Machine Learning predictive quality comes in handy during company ad campaigns. The connection of Machine Learning with Data Analysis makes it easier for companies to process complex data. Once this is done, they can look at customer behavior and their reaction to certain products.
Besides, Machine Learning will also help to personalize certain marketing trends that will help companies identify specific "pain" points to focus on when creating ads for their products.
Data security should be among the top priorities of any large company. When it comes to a company's defense sector, data classification is essential for keeping intelligence private.
A system that learns from data patterns is better equipped to protect it. Poor data classification can lead to great company losses. Therefore, it is better to invest in security solutions than to take any additional risks. At Trust Sourcing, we used data classification to create an AI-based recipe search engine. We grouped over 10 million ingredients into categories and implemented a detailed filter system to help a user find the recipe he's looking for by typing an ingredient into the search bar.
Machine Learning in Data Analysis can be very beneficial to any business as we have seen above. Now let us look at how you can use these features to your company's benefit. Nowadays, a company can choose one of two methods for how it develops a DA solution, either using in-house resources or outsourcing. Let's find out what the main differences are between the two.
Costs more to form a team of full-time employees that will create a system.
The costs of operation are lower and more convenient for budget saving.
Companies have to make sure they find the best possible talent to bring on board.
Companies don't have to worry about investing in any infrastructure or hiring any personnel since they get all of this right from the start.
During the in-house development, all company's data stays within the team.
If a reliable outsourcing partner is found all working process will be carried out in the smoothest way possible eliminating any data leaks or security breaches.
An in-house development team always works according to the company's schedule.
Due to a possible time zone difference with an outsourcing team all communication has to be negotiated in advance. However, with proper management on the outsourcing company end, it's not an issue and can even take advantage of productivity outside of your company's regular working hours.
It is difficult to be sure that an in-house team has the right skillset for every new project. Eventually, a company will still need to hire new professionals or consult with outside sources.
The outsourcing agency handles all hiring and risk management. Aside from that, outsourcing can enable large companies to start new projects while working on the current one. This increases the probability of making more revenue because multiple projects can be tackled at once.
A side-by-by comparison of in-house vs. outsourcing software development shows that the latter is more profitable and faster solution.
If you are looking for a better way to manage your company's data, adopting Data Analysis with Machine Learning is a step in the right direction. A lot of successful companies have proven that ML and DA can make a big difference in how you run your company.
At Trust Sourcing, we will provide you with the best services to incorporate machine learning and data analytics into your business. Our ultimate goal is to make sure your company keeps soaring to new heights. Contact us for more information!

A: I can't think of any interesting consequences offhand.
Now, assuming that the spectral radius of every element of $A$ is equal to the norm does have an interesting consequence - in fact it's easy to see that that condition is equivalent to saying $A$ is isometrically isomorphic to a closed subalgebra of $C(K)$ for some compact Hausdorff space $K$.

Brazil's Vale names new CEO under government pressure
By Brian Ellsworth and Denise Luna
RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) – Brazilian mining giant Vale (VALE5.SA) named a new chief executive under withering government pressure, a move that may spark fears of state meddling in Brazil's private sector but is not expected to dent investor confidence in the firm.
Former Vale executive Murilo Ferreira, who returns to the company as CEO on May 22, will have to placate politicians' desires for more investment in steel mills while providing the massive returns delivered by outgoing CEO Roger Agnelli during his ten years in office.
Agnelli, who helped turn Vale into the world's largest iron ore miner, will leave the post after years of criticism by political leaders that he was not doing enough to spur Brazil's economic development.
"Murilo Ferreira was indicated by the controlling shareholders from a list of three prepared by an international executive search firm," Vale said in a statement.
Vale's board will still have to approve the appointment, the company said.
Ferreira, 58, joined Vale in 1998 in its aluminum division and later went on to lead the Canadian nickel operations that the company bought in 2006.
He left the company in 2008, Vale said, adding he has been working in the mining business for 30 years.
The designation of an experienced hand rather than a politician with a heavy social agenda will likely be seen as good news by shareholders.
Investors are keen on Vale's extensive iron and nickel assets, low operating costs, and strong presence in China.
"A choice that is more entrepreneurial and less political should be well received by the markets," said Danny Rappaport, who oversees about $120 million for Investport in Sao Paulo.
The move by President Dilma Rousseff to push for Agnelli's ouster has raised concerns of increased government involvement in Brazil's private sector.
The campaign to replace Agnelli also sparked protests by opposition politicians and a torrent of Twitter messages excoriating the move as a veiled state takeover.
"Interference by the government could mar the image of the country as a promising place for investment," said Brazil's mining association Ibram in a statement posted on its website before the announcement.
GOVERNMENT TIES
Agnelli, 51, a former investment banker with Vale shareholder Banco Bradesco (BBDC4.SA), instilled a culture of meritocracy that turned Vale into Brazil's No. 1 exporter.

World-Regional Social Policy and Global Governance: New Research and Policy Agendas in Africa, Asia, Europe and Latin America (Paperback)
Bob Deacon (editor), Nicola Yeates (editor), Luke van Langenhove (editor), Maria Cristina Macovei (editor)
This volume explores the case for and the prospects of the development of world-regional social policies as integral elements of a pluralistic, equitable and effective system of global governance.
Focusing on transnational regionalism, this book examines the trajectory and crossing over of the three strands of scholarly analysis within the past decade which have given rise to this volume: the perceived negative impact of neo-liberal globalisation upon national social policy; the need for but the difficulty of securing reforms in the institutions of global social governance; and the increasing salience of the world-regional level of governance in handling cross-border issues.
The authors develop an intellectual and research agenda that will also inform the political development of an international programme concerned with the social policy dimensions of regional governance. Combining the perspectives and collective expertise of a team of international scholars and activists, the book features:
Theoretical and policy cases for a focus on regionalism and social policy
A mapping and analysis of social policy dimensions of regional integration processes and formations in four continents
An assessment of the regional dimensions of global agencies, in particular of the UN (ILO, WHO, UNESCO, UNDP) including the approach to regional social policy of the UN Regional Economic Commissions and Development Banks
An articulation of a multi-levelled conceptualisation of global social governance within which regional associations of countries plays a significant part.
The book will be of interest to students and scholars of social policy, development studies, international relations and political science, especially those focused on the public policy dimensions of globalisation, regionalisation and international development.

Kingaroy mourns 'brave' father after tragic drowning
Denny Jade Caballa's wife, Cherry Apple Caballa, described her husband as "very proud father" and "responsible man". Photo/Facebook
6th Dec 2020 1:22 PM
THE tributes are pouring in for two brave fathers who tragically lost their lives while trying to pull their children from the surf at Noosa this morning.
Denny Jade Caballa, 37, from Kingaroy, and Richard Catbagan, 37, from Dalby dived into the surf after spotting three of their children struggling to stay afloat in the deceptively dangerous waters at Teewah Beach.
Richard's two children made it back to shore, while Denny's son Tyghan, 9, was taken to hospital.
After being dragged out to sea by a strong rip, the two men were eventually pulled from the ocean by a third man.
Emergency crews tried desperately to revive them on the beach, but both were tragically declared dead at the scene.
Speaking to The Courier-Mail, Denny's wife of 16 years, Cherry Apple Caballa, described her husband as 'brave'.
"He was a very proud father. He was a very responsible man," Ms Caballa said.
"We loved him, we miss him, and we're very proud of him. He's our hero."

Xeino Sacremento, a friend who also rushed to the children's aid, described the tide that day as deceptive.
"It was just below knee level, and suddenly when this wave caught us … we couldn't feel the ground anymore," he said.
There has been an outpouring of emotion to both men on social media, with the Kingaroy community shocked and saddened by the sudden loss of Denny.
"You will be missed forever and always. The beautiful moments you shared with us will always speak of a great person that you were. Rest in peace up in the heaven my friend," one commenter said.
"Our deepest sympathy to Cherry Apple and family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Surely you will not be forgotten. We often remember you as a loving husband to Cherry Apple, a great dad to your beautiful three boys and a good friend to your colleagues and friends," said another.

Automation is our biggest hobby! Why not try to make ourselves redundant? Let's be honest: we all hate the repetitive jobs we need to do over and over again. We can automate almost anything! At Greater, it's a competition.
Don't hesitate, automate!
Automation is the latest buzzword in the technology world, and the latest advances in AI and robotic technology have brought automation to the fore. Maybe in the next few years, AI will lead the automation industry and being every service automated. In customer relationship management (CRM) and the service industry, automation has become a necessity, and businesses have already started to look for automation services development. The existing automation tools available today involve only form-based workflows and other orchestration activities. The workflow allows people to place a request from the start till the end through a wizard-like interface. In these automation activities, mostly external interaction was not needed and only controlled through scripts.
Why is automation the high Requirement of the hour?
When it comes to automating service management activities, it describes the process of orchestration. Let's go back to the form-based workflow; it is generally more of a graphic thing than describing it as automation. But in this fast-changing world, everyone out there is looking to get ideas quite quickly and efficiently. Hence, whether you like it or not, automation has already crept into the industry. Not only does automation save a lot of time and effort, but it also saves a lot of money for businesses around the world.
But even though the requirements of automating IT services can be heard in a loud voice, still there are many businesses ignorant about the advantages of automation continue to do manual work, and in the process, waste a lot of money and resources. But on the other hand, there are businesses even after understanding the benefits of automation are still doing manual jobs because they are unable to invest the cost to enable automated services.
But think of this example, a major eCommerce website handling thousands of customer orders per day, ignoring automation. Suppose they are still into manual confirmation of the order, how long would you think will it take to confirm and receive the order at your doorstep. With online giants like Amazon, eBay, and other sites, most of the functionality is automated, except customer complaints and other small issues. Other than that, the moment you place an order, it gets notified, and once the seller confirms, it sends an order confirmation email immediately. Intelligent automation services have truly changed how the service industry works
Identify Good Candidates
One of the essential aspects of IT automation services is to identify prospective candidate's worth of automation. Because there is no use of automating every service out there, businesses would only like to automate functions that make a customer spend a lot of time on the website. While some patient customers will wait for the page to load and provide the necessary information, some busy people would treat it as a waste of time and leave the website immediately and start looking for other services that give a good response and easy to interact with.
At Greater, we have some of the best brains in the business process automation industry. It is not true that only the production department to follow stringent guidelines and time, it is also the duty of the administrative department to take care of these issues and make communication flow without any significant problems. Our team of automation specialists has worked with various clients, including the financial sector, manufacturing industry, along with education and other basic amenities. Our IT automation and services are always friendly and can work on various tasks, including account management, order processing, data monitoring, and so on.
Application maintenance and support (AMS)
Automation is one of the latest buzzwords in the technology world, and the latest advances in AI and robotic technology have brought automation to the fore. Maybe in the next few years, AI will lead the automation industry and being every service automated. In customer relationship management (CRM) and the service industry, automation has become a necessity, and businesses have already started to look for automation services development.
The next important aspect of automation services is project management and support. A couple of years ago, we can see companies get shut down only because they were not able to provide ample support at the right time. People ordering a product and paying their hard-earned money will at least look for credible application support and maintenance. Timely help and maintenance will ensure a lot of benefits.
The next significant aspect of automation services is application maintenance and support. People no longer need to run behind the IT infrastructure and HR departments to get their job done. Everything is automated nowadays that any issue can be just posted as a support ticket, and the IT team will act on the ticket and get it resolved quickly. Automation services not only save businesses with less resource usage but also makes them spend little money on other aspects of the project. They no longer need a separate team for Node.js, Angular JS, and so on.
Our team of automation specialists will analyze the working of your website, look through your requirements, and will design a solution that fits your needs. Earlier, when we started working with full-stack development services, we had to undergo a lot of issues and problems. But with the advent of the latest technological issues, we could quickly identify your requirements and prepare a solution accordingly. Our team of experts will ensure that classes are functioning after 6-7 pm after setting up a lot of IT admin professionals.
In our early years, the whole automation thing was hardly implemented, but with the arrival of the latest technologies, end-to-end solutions are made possible.

The objective of the proposed study is to design, test, and evaluate high-volume fly ash concrete mixtures (HVFA). Traditional specifications limit the amount of fly ash to 40% or less cement replacement. This program attempts to increase the ash content to 75% while maintaining strength and durability characteristics. Various mixtures and chemical additives will be tested. The funding would allow calorimetry studies of potential admixtures and additives necessary to increase the percentage of fly ash (FA) in the various concrete mixes. The calorimetry would allow a more diverse and extensive set of variables to be studied, and would assist the researchers in developing mixes specific to each type of fly ash available. The funding would also allow testing for leachability of the HVFA concrete to existing FA concrete and non-FA concrete using TCLP, ASTM 3987, and the new LEAF methods, and to potentially evaluate the various products for radioactivity.


Search giant Google is about to take a quantum leap into next generation mobile computing with the forthcoming introduction of virtual reality glasses, according to people familiar with the project who spoke to The New York Times this week.
The glasses are expected to cost between $250 and $600, the Times noted, but Google isn't talking about the project yet.
That's because the Google glasses have been in development at the company's secretive Google X lab, where other cutting-edge projects like robotics and artificial intelligence research are underway.
The glasses, which are said to look like a pair of Oakleys enhanced with an MP3 player, will come equipped with motion sensors, GPS, cameras, voice detection software and the Android operating system, which will enable Google to stream graphical enhancements over the real world, and see what their users see, all in real time.
Word of the glasses in development was first broken by a blogger at 9 to 5 Google, who said that the heads-up display will only work in one eye, and users will navigate the on-board menus with small head movements. The new navigation tech is said to be highly intuitive, and a similar system was shown off by Motorola earlier this year.
People who've actually seen the glasses told the Times that they will create a new layer for the Internet, where companies can stream digital advertising possibly even layered over competitors' real world ads.
The Times also speculated how facial recognition may play a role in the glasses' core functions, matching peoples' faces with social network profiles for instant connections between new acquaintances.
However, in the wake of controversy over Google bypassing key security features built into web browsers designed by rivals Apple and Microsoft, the introduction of full augmented reality to consumers will likely open up an whole new realm of privacy concerns.
It could also pose new challenges to federal regulators, who are only just now getting around to proposing privacy standards for web browsers.
