President University Rector Speaks on Kampus Merdeka (Independent Campus) Program
President University
In a webinar on the Kampus Merdeka (Independent Campus) Program, the Rector of President University, Prof. Dr. Jony Oktavian Haryanto spoke about how the Independent Campus concept has been implemented by President University.
He said that President University graduates are expected to excel through character building, gaining the right skills, and balancing these with broad knowledge. Students at President University are free through the many choices of programs suited to their interests in or outside of the campus.
Regarding the 2020 curriculum at President University, Jony elaborated further that in the first year, students will be faced with Integrative Survival Experience. The students will learn and directly apply their skills necessary to survive both economic survival and the industry's demand, among others the knowledge surrounding big data relating to each study program. Aside from their chosen study program, students will also be faced with on-site working experience. For example, Business Administration students are required to create a short movie. Jony emphasized, "The fundamental thing is the practical experience, theory can be learned as we go. That's why we should not start emphasizing on the theory at first."
Continuing his explanation, Jony said, "In the second year, each study program has a bigger role to contribute as students focus more on courses specific to their study program and concentration. We also teach the students foreign language other than English because we already integrate English as our learning medium since the beginning of their study until the end when they manage to master it." In the second year, there is also a credit for internship preparation. The mandatory internship program will take place in the third year. This internship program that lasts for a year will be personally customized with the three available career options: professional, entrepreneur, and academician, to which in the first year, the students have discussed already with their academic mentor.
The one-year internship program will increase the students' skills and knowledge towards the incoming industry's demand. Aside from that, Jony explained how the majority of President University students have been offered for full-time placement in the office they had their internships in due to their outstanding performance. The student's internship experience is also useful for the university to identify actual issues faced by companies (link and match between industry and university)
To support the students' interest, President University provides a number of options for their final project in the form of a thesis, independent study/project, case writing, corporate project, and others in alignment with the career path that the students would like to take.
The webinar "Operasionalisasi Kampus Merdeka dan Implikasinya" held by Master of Business Administration Program of Atmajaya Universitas in collaboration with Asosiasi Ilmu Administrasi Bisnis Indones was also attended by the Director General of the Ministry of Education and Culture Republic of Indonesia, Prof. Ir. Nizam, M.Sc., DIC, Ph.D., in ia on Thursday .
Quoting a research by McKinsey & Company, about 23 million existing jobs will be replaced by automation by 2030. The loss of jobs is followed by opportunities for 10 million new jobs that have never been around before. "How will we prepare students with competencies that we do not even know about? There is no other way but to reform our higher education system," Nizam said.
Nizam stated that education at the individual level becomes very important. Tracing back to the essence of education by Ki Hajar Dewantara, he elaborated that education revolves around preparing a civilized, independent human being, where humans are able to stand on their own abilities, not depend on others, and be able to choose their own future. "This is the essence of education, how we prepare students to be able to lead their own future. The future of individuals is very diverse. Certainly, it would be wrong if we limit them in the frame of one very narrow study program, while the competencies they need are more than their respective study programs," he stressed.
Therefore, link and match with industry is an important factor in preparing students to face a competitive workforce in the future. The learning activity is not limited to classrooms activities or libraries only. Internships/work practices, independent studies/projects, student exchanges, teaching in schools, and humanitarian projects can enrich the experience of students since the beginning of their study in higher educational institutions until their graduation.

Halloween sleeping concert with hypnotic audio-visuals and specially designed air bed by Swedish architecture group Testbed.
I'll post some pics of that tomorrow – or maybe even tonight if they have a free internet connection there.
Before that, though, I made some notes after Carsten Nicolai's performance which follow on from my thoughts about live music/events in general, which I outlined after the Laoban event we hosted at the Gallery last year and which keep coming up for me every time I go to hear a performance. I have rather confused, ambivalent and romantic expectations from music, I want it to move me and excite me, and that means for it to have a "meaning" for itself and hence for me. As far as the former are concerned, I know that's problematic and indicative of a surrendering of my control to someone else; for the latter, that seems an overly analytical reaction to the former on my part. Where is the middle-ground, if indeed there is such a thing?
In terms of my reactions, I think it all comes down to what criteria I judge the evening on, either as music, or as visuals, or as art; and I obviously apply different criteria to each format. So, for the music I didn't hear anything imaginative about the beats he was using, the glitches seemed more or less random, without an underlying form which would have allowed you to follow the reasoning (or an algorithm?) behind them through some sort of progression (in the way you can with Autechre, for instance). The visuals of the filters and processes the audio and video were going through were interesting, but left me with a bit of a "so what" feeling. And, ultimately, as "art" the whole was less than the sum of its parts for me.
I want to feel some connection to the music.
Do that through the beats and melody, I think.
Beats that make you move, force you to react.
Trying to put a good view on that, as it seems like tyranny in a way. Being controlled by the beats, that can't be good, no freewill.
Maybe more like some kind of empathy between the beats and the person – naive, idealistic maybe.
Dangerous, as it is too close to letting yourself lose control – letting someone else control you.
So CN's music could be good in that it prevents me from letting go? hmmm..
But as a DJ what are you doing? Obviously many different types of DJs. But I think most will want some sort of recognition or connection with their audience – otherwise they could just stay as bedroom noodlers. Working for public display as a means of verification? approval?
Doing work is one thing, but in a milieu which guides you, which you participate in, in which you like contributing things – a community of agreement.
For CN its slightly different. He is at a stage when he can do what he wants. He is known and he already has an audience which accepts him. He does not have to remake his audience every time.
But in a way that's what we always have to do – hence the technical problems being a way to lose your audience. You already have an audience before the show. Some come to the show and then you have to retain and satisfy that audience in your performance.


Hello and welcome to another edition of Brin's Book Buzz! We are now into the month of November (seriously, where has this year gone?) and there are some awesome book releases this month which I am really excited about. Last month there seemed to be a million and one Young Adult releases that I couldn't wait to purchase/read. This month is a little slower but I am actually grateful for that as there was just too many to choose from last month.
This book looks amazing. The synopsis, the cover… everything about it has me super-excited! I have been eagerly anticipating this book for months – it just seems to have all the key ingredients I really enjoy. Sort of dystopian with parallel universes thrown in for good measure = a very excited Brin!
Seventeen-year-old Lindsey Allen is an A-student who has her heart set on becoming an astronomer. But first she must break away from her mother, an eccentric failed beauty queen who has set up a phony psychic reading shop in their Oregon garage.
Lindsey is biding time until she graduates high school, reading tarot cards for the neighbors in her mother's shop and recording the phases of the moon in her Moon Sign notebook. Her life changes when her mother, Debbie, decides they should move to California to become Hollywood psychics to the stars. As they pull out of the driveway, Lindsey looks up at the silver morning moon. It's a bright coin moon, which means only one thing: what you leave behind today will rise up tomorrow.
When mother and daughter arrive in Los Angeles with new identities, they move into a leaky, run-down building and spend their nights stalking restaurants and movie premieres to catch that one celebrity they hope will be their ticket. When it seems they will never make it in LA, Lindsey is assigned a new mentor through her school. Joan is a lonely, wealthy widow who can't get past the death of her husband, Saul. Debbie is convinced they've hit the jackpot, and plans for a future séance commence.
As Lindsey grows closer to Joan, guilt over the scam consumes her, and she must make the ultimate decision. But can she really betray her mother?
I only very recently heard about this book but I am definitely intrigued by the premise. It really looks like something you could get your teeth sunk into. I will definitely be seeking this one out when it is released.
This may be a little bit of a cheat since I actually haven't read the other books in the series (yet) but I am really excited for this one coming out because it means I can finally start the series and read them all one after the other – yay!
I was actually approved for an ARC for this book but that does not make me any less excited for its release – it looks absolutely amazing! If you have been following my blog you may have noticed I have a bit of a weakness for dystopians and this book looks like it will deliver what I enjoy about them in spades.


The retrieval of features in a large-scale image database can improve the degree of visualization of images. The conventional method of feature-retrieval is a time-consuming process because it retrieves by searching the keywords. In this paper, a rapid feature retrieval method based on granular computing is proposed for use in a large-scale image database. In this method, we first collect and process the images from the database. Next, we construct a binary tree to realize the multi-class classification of the image features and complete the feature retrieval using support vector machines. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method can effectively retrieve the features in the large-scale image database. The effectiveness of retrieval can reach more than 95%.

Zilliqa, a high-speed blockchain platform from researchers at the National University of Singapore, has announced a strategic partnership with FBG Capital, one of the world's foremost digital asset management firms. The firm will be investing into the project and Zhuo Shuoji, founding partner of FBG and veteran cryptocurrency trader, will be joining Zilliqa as an advisor to help guide commercial and financial industry adoption of the new blockchain platform.
The platform was created by researchers at the National University of Singapore to solve the issue of scalability of blockchains which has been one of the hot topics currently surrounding adoption the technology. The new platform has been developed based upon the technology of sharding that was originally proposed by the research team in an academic paper in 2015.
The company has already built a working platform and has recently announced that its internal testnet has reached a peak throughput of 2,488 transactions per second (TX/s). in comparison, if Zilliqa were fully functional on the same number of computer nodes as Ethereum – around 22,000 – its transaction rate has been estimated to be able to reach over 15,000 TX/s, nearly double the average of VISA.
Shuoji will be joining banking tech leaders Alexander Lipton and Stuart Prior, as well as blockchain innovators Loi Luu and Aquinas Hobor, as advisors on the project. The original scientific research for the project was done in the laboratory of Dr. Prateek Saxena, who is now Chief Scientific Officer with Zilliqa. Earlier projects and ventures that emerged from Dr. Saxena's research group include KyberNetwork, TrueBit, SmartPool, and Anquan Capital.
Zilliqa plans to release its source code and a public testnet in December 2017. The public release of the protocol will enable the public and developers to participate in testing its functionality, performance, and robustness, and to start designing the next generation of blockchain applications that can be developed on the platform. The company has stated that it will soon announce details of their public token generation event, with its early contribution phase being currently underway.


The openly gay mayor of Salt Lake City has blasted the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling in favor of a Christian baker who refused to make a wedding cake for a gay couple.
Jackie Biskupski said she was "disappointed" the high court "did not take the opportunity to reaffirm the long-standing principle in this country that businesses should be open to all people."
And she added Salt Lake City will strive to make sure such exclusion doesn't happen.
"Salt Lake City will continue to stand for equality for all people. If you do business in our City, you do business with everyone," Biskupski said.
On Monday, the court backed Jack Phillips, a Christian baker from Colorado who refused for religious reasons to make a wedding cake for a gay couple.
In their 7-2 decision, justices said the Colorado Civil Rights Commission's handling of claims brought against Phillips violated his religious rights under the First Amendment.
But the court did not make any ironclad definitive on the circumstances under which people can seek exemptions from anti-discrimination laws based because of their religious beliefs.
"We are relieved this ruling does not set any negative precedent," Biskupski said.
According to the Salt Lake Tribune, Utah's capital joined 102 cities in an amicus brief arguing in favor of David Mullins and Charlie Craig, who in 2012 were refused a wedding cake by Phillips, owner of Masterpiece Cakeshop, in Lakewood.
"LGBTQ people in this country must continue to wonder whether they may be refused service for who they are — and that's simply unacceptable," Biskupski said, according to The Salt Lake Tribune.

Continuing OKC's positive trajectory
Oklahoma City is the 22nd-largest metro in the U.S., with more than 1.4 million people who choose to live here. One of the data points that really made our growth over the last decade tangible to me is when, as the assistant city manager, I led the redistricting for our council wards. It was a result of our population growth – 100,000 new residents in a 10-year period, one of the fastest-growing metro areas in the country. As I considered how to rebalance the population and new neighborhoods as compactly as possible into the boundaries of our eight wards, I was reminded of the many factors that led to that growth.
Oklahoma City has been voted one of the best large cities to start a business, a top-10 city with the youngest entrepreneurs, and the easiest place to do business. We're about 31% below the national average for housing costs and we rank No. 2 for first-time homebuyers. But perhaps the simplest explanation for our growth is that people follow jobs, and we've done very well in attracting business.
We've been intentional about local incentives such as the Strategic Investment Program and tax increment financing combined with federal, state and county incentives to attract businesses. Another factor in our success has been the Alliance for Economic Development of Oklahoma City, an organization formed in 2011 to combine resources, support and incentives to make a one-stop-shop for developers and businesses looking to start or expand here. We have many successes in Boeing, Amazon, Dell, Kratos, Paycom, Skydweller and others that have brought thousands of new jobs.
Corporate and industrial expansion doesn't tell the whole story. Over the past 10 years, the Alliance and my predecessor, Cathy O'Connor, have made significant progress on some of our city's biggest needs: affordable housing, more downtown housing, a grocery store and new development in northeast Oklahoma City, preservation of historic buildings, and support for small businesses to recover from COVID.
As the new president of the Alliance, I'm looking forward to continuing to build the relationships that have been key to our success, being a driving force in identifying what Oklahoma City needs next and casting a vision for how we create that future. As a lifelong resident, I'm excited to see our progress over the next 10 years.

Why African Teams Never Make It To The World Cup
THE WORLD CUP is being played in Africa this year, and it's about time. African players have been prominent in global club football for decades now -- as many as 1,000 of them play in Europe -- and only a bureaucratic inside job ensured that the 2006 tournament went to Germany when South Africa had been widely expected to get the nod from FIFA, the governing body of world soccer. In its embarrassment, FIFA promised the 2010 finals to Africa, and the growing excitement on the continent is palpable.
And yet African soccer's progress on the playing field has been pathetic when you compare to the expectations that began to bubble in 1990, when a tough, attractive Cameroon team – led by the brilliant Roger Milla, a 38-year-old striker – charged to the World Cup quarter-finals after beating defending champions Argentina in the opening game of the tournament's group stage.
Where I live, in Ireland, that 1990 Cameroon team is forever linked with our own postcolonial pinnacle. Ireland too made unprecedented progress that year, beaten narrowly, heartbreakingly, in the quarter-final by the host country, Italy. The Irish team even got to meet the Pope. The players returned home in triumph, hundreds of thousands filling Dublin city center to sing and cheer. The team captain was making a speech from a stage in front of the old parliament building when a rumor buzzed through the crowd: "Cameroon are beating England."
Suddenly rivulets, then rivers, of Irish fans began to stream away from their own in-the-flesh heroes, in search of pubs with televisions to cheer a new set of heroes in far-away Naples, Africans who, conveniently, also wore green. "C'mon you boys in green," we sang as we had for weeks, crowding around any visible screen, a new injection of adrenalin running through our veins after the national high of our own games. If the TVs had been loud enough to drown out our noise we could have heard the Neapolitans singing for the Cameroonians too.
Cameroon were 2-1 ahead with less than 10 minutes left, and they were all over the hated English. But the Africans missed a chance, and England went to the other end to win a penalty and equalize. England undeservedly won the game in extra time, and our hearts and hundreds of millions of other hearts all over the world were broken. Many of us comforted ourselves with the confident prediction that it was only a matter of time, and probably not much of it, before there was an African champion. Pelé himself said he expected it before the 1990s were through.
Nigeria have often looked the Africans most likely. In 1994, in the US-hosted World Cup, they met Italy in the first knock-out round after an impressively efficient group stage. I was at the game, near Boston, seated behind a group of Italians making fascist salutes. Despite my middle name (Mario), my Italian grandparents, my birthplace in Vicenza, I found it easy to cheer the Nigerians, as did most of the American crowd. A hugely talented team, led by two young midfield wizards, Jay-Jay Okocha and Sunday Oliseh, they were tactically super-cautious under the management of Dutchman Clemens Westerhof: they scored one goal and then toyed with the Italians when they could have been finishing them off. As the game clicked into injury time, and with Italy down to 10 men, Nigeria stupidly gave away possession and Italy charged upfield and scored. Extra time saw Italy score again and go through.

Northern Devon Healthcare NHS Trust selects Nervecentre for electronic observations solution
Northern Devon Healthcare NHS Trust has been awarded Nursing Technology funding for an integrated cloud based mobile electronic observations and handover system. The Trust selected Nervecentre Software and Fordway to provide this seamless mobile healthcare platform to doctors and nurses to help improve patient safety and staff communications. The contract was awarded through the G-Cloud framework.
Initially, the Nervecentre mobile solution will be deployed across North Devon District Hospital. It will enable all the nurses to capture patient vital signs electronically at the bedside using Ipods, and automatically cascade alerts on deteriorating patients to doctors to ensure a rapid response. The solution will also provide electronic handover, including the Nervecentre Hospital@Night solution for 24/7 care of patients.
Mike Jones, Director of IM&T said: "We are really pleased to have been successful in our bid to the Nurse Technology Fund which is allowing us to expand our use of technology to support patient care. This development comes at a really exciting time for Northern Devon Healthcare NHS Trust as we implement a number of changes supported by technology, including the launch of a fully integrated electronic health record later this year.
"The Nervecentre solution means we will have real-time visibility of all our patients and be able to rapidly take action where necessary to ensure the right clinician is with a patient as soon as possible when needed. Additionally the technology will ensure smooth transitions at handover, especially during the night shift, ensuring safe, continuous care, every hour of the day."
Sarah James, Head of Quality and Safety, and NDHT Project Executive for the implementation added: "This is a great use of technology to ensure we are offering the safest care to our patients. Using the system will allow us to improve communications across the difference disciplines working with our patients allowing a more robust and holistic plan of care to be developed with the easier identification of risks"
"Additionally we will have increased accuracy in our recording of observations and easier recognition of a deteriorating patient, allowing staff to escalate concerns more quickly. We're really excited to see how the benefits of Nervecentre will help us as we increasingly use technology to deliver safer care."
Partly funded by the Nursing Tech Fund Second Round, project implementation is progressing well. The cloud environment has already been set up and application testing has begun, ready for roll out of the mobile solution to all clinical staff by the end of the year.
Fordway, an experienced G-Cloud supplier, is hosting the Nervecentre application using its SecurePlus IaaS (infrastructure as a Service) solution. This provides 24 x 7 service with an availability greater than 99.8%, as well as full redundancy in a second data centre. All data is hosted on Fordway's highly accredited and secure infrastructure, located in two UK data centres.
Richard Blanford, Managing Director of Fordway, said: "This is the first time Nervecentre has provided its application via the cloud, and we had to get our service in place quickly to enable them to meet the Trust's delivery deadline – something which other potential suppliers were unable to do. We are delighted to support them in providing such a valuable and innovative application to the Trust."

Fabrizio Bentivoglio, I Monterossi investigate between disenchantment and Dylan / VIDEO – Culture & Shows
news-txt">
"Carlo Monterossi is an involuntary winner in love with losers. His characteristics are disenchantment and irony: this makes him an anomalous detective. Bob Dylan for him is a sort of big brother, a vinyl friend, to chat with and In every situation he has his own song to put as a soundtrack. A passion that I share: I keep all the books with the lyrics of his songs, I used to decipher them all night ". Word of Fabrizio Bentivoglio, protagonist in a state of grace of the series between crime and comedy 'Monterossi', from January 17 on Prime Video as a world premiere, based on the novels by Alessandro Robecchi (Sellerio) and directed by Roan Johnson, a Palomar production.
Bentivoglio plays a television writer, Carlo Monterossi, who leaves the trash program that brings him fame and money but which he hates, Crazy love, is threatened at the door of his Milanese home by a hooded man who shoots him, saves himself thanks to his glass of whiskey that deflects the blow and begins to investigate. In the cast, among others, Donatella Finocchiaro, Tommaso Ragno, Diego Ribon, Martina Sammarco, Maria Paiato and an extraordinary Carla Signoris in the role of cynical and tearful TV presenter, in balance between suspense and irony.
"Many – admits the actor during the presentation of the TV series – can find similarities between the character and my character and in fact there are some: we are both Milanese, passionate Inter fans, but also the blues disposition in the "to face life with disenchantment. Monterossi knows how to mix irony and melancholy as in a cocktail, he is willing to laugh at himself, and therefore at everything". For Robecchi, seeing his stories take shape was "surprising. Writing is something you do alone, but the collective work that goes into the adaptation is exciting. The importance of a translation, of an adaptation is fidelity. ".
Director Roan Johnson points out: "We immediately fell in love with novels. Having already adapted Malvaldi for BarLume and Camilleri for 2 TV films, I know very well that you must never betray the heart of the book. In this case the writing is very cinematic, we therefore almost stifled our ego to avoid adding too much. " The setting in Milan, the birthplace of Bentivoglio who has lived in Rome for years, is also important: "Even if it has changed a lot, I trained at the Piccolo, the Milan I remember is completely different from today, where there is a square Gae Aulenti there was a shooting gallery of an amusement park ".
But did you Bentivoglio made little television compared to cinema and theater? "It is partly a choice and partly a career direction, I had no preconceptions even though maybe I preferred the theater. Times have also changed. Seriality offers an actor the opportunity to tell the character with different spaces and times. When. I won the Volpi Cup for A soul divided in two, there was the great Marcello Mastroianni who saying goodbye to me said 'to' Bentivo 'mo not put you to do' the TV … 'Here I can say that I have kept my promise for more than 15 years ". But does he watch TV? "Not much: the news and football matches. And when I have the opportunity, Eduardo's theater".
Carla Signoris is Flora De Pisis, host of programs that make pornography of feelings. The actress hides behind a no comment, she doesn't want to say to whom she gets inspired: "She is a woman capable of asking: 'Her parents were killed, but is she photogenic?' This is our attitude, the TV represents us. If there are professionals who do it, some come to mind but I don't say it. Flora is a hyena. The character grew up with books, in the last one they kidnap her, I can't wait. She represents all the cynicism of TV that it's the exact opposite of who I am. I read scripts and learn. "

Importer looks to take stigma out of Chinese scooters
By: The Staff June 11, 2012
Bintelli builds dealer network as scooters begin shipping in July
Justin Jackrel has heard all the complaints about Chinese scooters, and he's experienced all the issues himself. Many scooters come unassembled, requiring hours of work to be showroom-ready; several are discovered to be damaged or inoperable; parts can be hard to find, and customer support is lacking.
But all Chinese manufacturers don't fit into the same category, Jackrel said, and the right distributor can make all the difference. After years of importing subpar brands himself, Jackrel and his colleagues have decided to create their own brand, Bintelli.
Bintelli scooters are specially designed scooters from the Znen manufacturing facility in China. A few importers distribute the Znen brand, but Bintelli adds unique touches to its vehicles. Each Bintelli scooter engine is load tested and run on a dyno for 30 minutes, so it surpasses the traditional breaking point of unsatisfactory manufacturers. The scooters are then delivered to the Bintelli warehouse in Gainesville, Fla., where staff assembles the scooters and packages them in recyclable cardboard for safe delivery to dealers.
"What we're doing is what the dealer wants," Jackrel explained.
Though other Znen distributors report only two to three defective units being shipped per year, if a unit in need of repair is delivered on occasion, Bintelli will pay the dealer for any service.
With units such as the Scorch, Bintelli provides unique offerings with its Chinese imports.
"The dealers are getting compensated for major repairs that they have to do," Jackrel said. "We don't expect them to work for free."
Jackrel visited a few factories in China before choosing Znen as Bintelli's manufacturer. Bintelli has assured that each scooter features a MotoBatt battery, a Gates belt, NGK spark plugs, Duro tires, a Deni carburetor and all stainless steel hardware. Each scooter also comes with a limited two-year warranty.
"It's not the cheapest Chinese scooter, but it's the best Chinese scooter," Jackrel said.
Not only did the quality of the scooters draw Jackrel to Znen, but the culture of the factory did as well. Each Znen employee enjoys working there, he observed. During a factory visit, Jackrel even watched as the employee in charge of valve adjustments stopped the whole line when he found an error; the line was restarted after a fix was made.
"Little things like that really come through," Jackrel said.
Jackrel and his colleagues, who also run Road Rat Motors, Bintelli's sister company, knew what they were looking for in a manufacturer because they have more than a decade of experience importing products from China. In 2000, Jackrel and one of his friends began importing stand-up gas-powered scooters from China. Though they no longer are in that business, Road Rat Motors has been importing and distributing go-karts and electric vehicles since the mid-2000s.
In an effort to bring scooters into its distribution mix, the company has worked with several Chinese manufacturers. Jackrel has 10-15 models from some of those OEMs still in his warehouse, waiting for parts that never came. But Jackrel said dealers shouldn't harshly judge all Chinese manufacturers because they've had similarly bad experiences.
"It's not up to the country; it's up to the factory and how they train their employees," Jackrel said.
In addition to superior scooters, Bintelli is offering customer service and parts support out of Florida. The company also re-wrote the 50-60 page user manuals for each of its models, so they're all in understandable English.
Bintelli's first shipment of scooters for distribution will be delivered to Florida on July 1, with the second coming a few weeks later. Bintelli is focusing mostly on 49cc scooters, though it has one 150cc model in its lineup.
"Unlike other companies out there who are starting with 20 models and can't keep them in stock, we're starting with five models," Jackrel explained.
The company plans to have 7-10 models in its lineup by the end of its first year of distribution, but it's careful about expanding.
"We're trying to make sure that we're doing it the right way and not just spreading ourselves too thin," he said.
The models each carry an MSRP of $999-$1,500, and dealers will make a 45-65 percent margin on each sale.
"I think in the first year of selling, we're hoping for 2,000-3,000 pieces sold," Jackrel said, adding that the figure is equal to the average sales of other distributors.
In order to sell a few thousand scooters in its first year, Bintelli is seeking to build a high-quality dealer network. The company already has signed six dealers and is in negotiations with about two dozen others. In early May, prospective East Coast dealers received direct mail from Bintelli, and West Coast dealers were contacted later in the month. About 300 mailings were delivered.
Like others in the lineup, the Bintelli Breeze offers dealers 45-65 percent margins.
Bintelli is looking for dealers who understand what the company is delivering above and beyond that of other distributors. It seeks dealers who understand the difference between a $699 scooter and a $1,299 scooter and can explain those differences to a customer. Dealers who carry five to six lines are sought over those who carry more, as Bintelli wants enough attention given to its brand and others in the dealership.
"We're being kind of selective because you really only have one chance to do it right," Jackrel explained.
Each dealer will be given a 15-30 mile territory, and each is required to order five scooters initially. Parts orders are not required, but Bintelli offers a list of recommended parts to stock. For dealers who don't stock parts, they can be ordered from Bintelli's expanding 14,000-square-foot facility, and shipments will be sent every day.
Dealers who are active in customer service, events and on Facebook are ideal, and the staff at Bintelli combs through Google Places reviews before giving dealers the OK.
"We like to just use the term 'gets it,' someone that gets what we're going for and doesn't just want the cheapest scooter out there," Jackrel said. "We're looking for someone who's going to stand by their customer."
With Bintelli based in Florida, it has been convenient for the company to focus on Florida dealers first. The Florida territories are almost all spoken for, with only four or five still open, but much of the rest of the country is still available.
"I would love to have 50 dealers by the end of the year, but to me, I'd also like to have 15 dealers that are pushing units and that are being taken care of," Jackrel said.
The response to the new scooter brand has already been explosive. Bintelli had to open a fourth phone line in May because so many calls were coming in that staff couldn't make calls out of the office. Even more traffic was expected after the West Coast dealers saw materials from the company.
Bintelli is focused now on distributing its first shipment — of which one-third to one-half is already pre-ordered — and building its dealer network. Marketing efforts have so far been focused online, but Bintelli plans to launch national marketing initiatives in the coming months, and it has already looked into exhibiting at upcoming trade shows.
Through his efforts, Jackrel will be working to convince dealers and customers that Chinese manufacturers can produce high-quality products and Bintelli is willing to stand by its scooters.
im very interested in the green and black scortch bintelli but i want the one that looks exactly like the one on this page with the all green rims and the curved tail pipe but everyplace i check with that sales the scortch dosent have with those exact rims.... are they after market rims and tail pipe or is it a different model all together plz email me asap thanks
Ken Tracy
Wow. What a great article. I am looking to open a dealership in Naperville, Illinois (about 40 miles from Chicago). This may be the brand I want!
My Son got the Flash in August an other than spedometer cable malfunction(which the dealer drove 14 miles to replace) it really runs nice. He zips all over our town of Eustis with no problems at all. Our 500 mile maintenance is coming up and I can't wait to check out the new Havoc I am pretty sure I am going to buy for me!

If you support an athlete in any way, as a manager or a trainer, then you have a key role to play in helping that athlete compete clean and reject the use of performance enhancing drugs and methods.
You will be there when athletes experience vulnerable periods: when they move to the next level of competition, when they are training for a major competition, or when they are recovering from injury etc.
Your attitude to anti-doping can help an athlete to develop the strength and resilience to cope with the pressure that comes with high performance sport.
If you manage a team (especially a team that is competing at or near the national level) then make it your responsibility to ensure that all team members receive anti-doping education and are prepared for drug testing if and when it occurs.

This show examines the influence of three local teachers and accomplished artists, W. M. Jean, Ruth Bercaw and Tom Roese and a selection of their pupils, who became noted artists in their own right, Susan Lowe, Derek Hess, Ken Nevadomi, Dexter Davis, George Kozmon, Glen Ratusnik and Nick Taylor.
Under the guidance of teachers there may have been a turning point, a "watershed moment" when the world of art opened up to the student. These moments are difficult to pin point, but they do happen and when they take place a certain energy develops that feeds that talent into a satisfying pursuit. It can be the small encouragement of a teacher who puts your work on the bulletin board or the poster contest you were prompted to successfully enter. These little things all add up to a sense of pride and confidence in your creativity and artistic abilities.
The conversation surrounding the benefits of art education has been in the forefront of public debate in recent years. It is rapidly becoming scientifically accepted that learning visual arts, music and dance can be instrumental in the formation of physical connections in the brain which have lasting effects on human development. Artists have always been in the vanguard of creative thinkers and the encouragement of teachers cannot be underestimated in the formation of future generations of artists.
Watershed will open with a public reception on Thursday November 12, from 5:30 – 8:00pm. A brief artists talk will take place mid-way during the opening reception where the artists will speak about their work and answer questions from the audience.

Q: Classification report for regression (sklearn) When you try to predict if something belongs to a certain class you can use the classification report from sklearn. However, this only works when the classes are categorical.
Does anyone happen to figure out how to use the classification report from sklearn when you try to predict a value instead, like with a support vector regression machine or linear regression?
I get the following error:
ValueError: Unknown label type: (123     13.409091
760     16.593333
748     13.646667
334     13.828571)

When trying:
print("Classification report: ", classification_report(y_test, y_pred))

Here y_test is a column of a pandas DataFrame and y_pred is a numpy array. I tried converting the column into a numpy array, but then it gives the same error, but with the array.
Does any know how to make the classification work to check the auc, precision/recall and f1-score for the prediction of a value (if there is a better way than sklearn, please do not hesitate to say so.)

A: The metrics that you named (accuracy, precision, recall & f1-score) are specifically for classification problems, where the prediction can be either right or wrong.
As you want to predict values, you are dealing with a regression problem and you want your metric to tell you how close your prediction is.
A good metric for this is the coefficient of determination also called r2-score.

Q: How to boot from USB I have downloaded ubuntu-14.04.2 desktop-amd64.iso.
Is it possible that we copy the iso file into our pendrive and then boot it from Pendrive after restarting?
If yes, could you please provide me with the steps for that.
To be frank, I am not good with the computers
My laptop is Lenevo G580

A: Your best bet is YUMI if you're currently running Windows. The process after downloading is very simple; you select the Linux distro you would like to use, and point it to your iso, and begin the process. It also allows for multiple OS to be set up on your USB.

A: (Sorry for the delay in getting this answer to you, while I do have experience with creating BootUSBs, they're made from Ubuntu and I had to be sure my Windows methods still worked =)
Ellie Zffie's answer is technically correct, but the YUMI site even states that the goal of the project is to make the OS bootable but not necessarily installable. That said, it's worth a shot to try it. However, if it doesn't work there is another, more correct (but less user-friendly) solution.
The Ubuntu ISO is what's known as a "hybrid" ISO. That is, it's an ISO with a partition table just like a hard disk. Recent versions of Ubuntu even have an EFI partition to make it bootable via both EFI and USB. This means that the ISO can be copied directly to a USB drive. This, however, has a couple of drawbacks:

*

*It will erase all data on the drive

*The USB drive that is the result of the process will have two read-only partitions. It's possible to add additional partitions, but Windows has a tendency to ignore additional partitions on flash media.

*Using dd for Windows is not for the feint of heart and could result in major data loss if done improperly.

So, I don't even recommend that. Luckily, I have experience with building customized Ubuntu BootUSBs. The process to make an Ubuntu USB BootUSB  manually is actually fairly trivial and consists of 3 steps:

*

*Extract the contents of the ISO to the USB drive

*Run the Syslinux installer

*Rename a file

That's the short version anyway. Here are the exact steps to get a working, guaranteed installable Ubuntu LiveUSB without a read-only filesystem:
Download Prerequisites

*

*Download the Ubuntu ISO.

*Download syslinux. If you're planning on installing 14.04 LTS (Trusty), get syslinux-4.05.zip. For 14.10 (Utopic), or 15.04 (Vivid) get syslinux-6.03.zip.

*Get a copy of an archive extraction tool such a 7-zip for extracting the ISO (I believe that WinRAR and/or WinZip also work for this purpose) and install it.

Extract the files

*

*Extract syslinux-4.05.zip or syslinux-6.03.zip to your Desktop.

*Extract the ISO contents to your USB drive using 7-zip/WinZip/WinRAR. If you use 7-zip it will create an extra folder called "[BOOT]". This isn't necessary to keep.

Install Syslinux

*

*Open an administrator command prompt.

*cd C:\Users\[Username]\Desktop\syslinux-4.05 (or syslinux-6.03 depending on the version you downloaded)

*cd win32 or cd win64 depending on your version of Windows. (Hint: check Computer->Properties)

*syslinux --active --install X: (replace X: with the drive letter of your USB drive)

Rename the configuration file

*

*On your USB drive, locate the "isolinux" folder

*Inside this folder, rename isolinux.cfg to syslinux.cfg

Reboot to boot into your new Ubuntu LiveUSB!

A: I downloaded this and now and creater a ubuntu bootable disc
ow to create a bootable USB stick on Windows
To run Ubuntu from a USB stick, the first thing you need to do is insert a USB stick with at least 2GB of free space into your PC.
The easiest way to put Ubuntu onto your stick is to use the USB installer provided at pendrivelinux.com. You'll need to download and install and follow the instructions.

Leafs games postponed, second group including Keefe, Campbell placed in COVID-19 protocol – Toronto Sun
Terry Koshan
Leafs goalieJack Campbell went into COVID protocol yesterday, along with coach Sheldon Keefe, assistant coach Spencer Carbery and defencemen TJ Brodie and Travis Dermott. USA TODAY Sports
VANCOUVER — Kyle Dubas had an idea, as unpleasant as it was, that this might be coming.
That the Maple Leafs had their two games this weekend postponed because of the resurgence of COVID-19 didn't come as a shock to the Leafs' general manager.
"Especially as different variants have come up and you see how quickly this specific one (Omicron) spreads, I think you're naive if you think it's going to avoid a team of 20-25 players who are traveling at any one time, plus all the staff, especially as you go to different parts of the country and the continent where regulations are very different," Dubas said on Saturday afternoon during a Zoom call with media.
"I think our players deserve a lot of credit. They've been excellent throughout this entire thing."
The Leafs' games in Vancouver against the Canucks on Saturday, and in Seattle against the expansion Kraken on Sunday, will be rescheduled at a later date, as will their previously postponed game in Calgary.
The postponements came after the Leafs had four players on Friday — initially captain John Tavares and Alex Kerfoot, and later Jason Spezza and Wayne Simmonds — placed in COVID-19 protocol.
Then, more bad news: On Saturday afternoon, the Leafs announced that coach Sheldon Keefe, assistant coach Spencer Carbery, goalie Jack Campbell and defencemen TJ Brodie and Travis Dermott had been placed in protocol.
On the Canucks' side, six players and assistant coach Jason King were in protocol.
The decision to postpone the games in Vancouver and Seattle jointly was made by medical staff from the National Hockey League, NHLPA and those with the teams.
Once test results were returned on Saturday, the Leafs planned to travel back to Toronto. Alternate plans were being made for those who had tested positive.
"We're trying to do everything we can to get everybody with their family during the holidays," Dubas said. "We're trying to work through all the options to make sure that we're abiding by every rule and doing things properly to get them from Vancouver to Toronto in the next in the next day or so, and then get them into isolation in Toronto. It's an evolving process."
Dubas said that of initial four players who tested positive, two were asymptomatic, one had mild symptoms, which had dissipated, and one had fever, chills and body aches.
"The four guys, I have spoken to them each a number of times (not in person) and all seem to be in good spirits and doing well," Dubas said.
Before the second group of Leafs players and staff tested positive, had the Leafs played on Saturday night, they would have been down to 10 forwards including Alex Steeves, who had been recalled from the Toronto Marlies. Steeves, along with defenceman Carl Dahlstrom, had remained with the Leafs when they were sent to the Marlies earlier in the week.
The situation with the Marlies was not good either. Dubas said that 10 Marlies players had tested positive for COVID-19, and as such, all Marlies players and staff are isolating for 10 days.
So the Leafs wouldn't have had the option, and won't for a while, of recalling players from their American Hockey League affiliate to fill out their roster.
Though Dubas noted that the Leafs have not been shut down per se, their next game, at home against the St. Louis Blues on Thursday, is bound to be postponed as well.
As of Saturday morning, 17 NHL teams presently had at least one player in protocol. Before the Leafs' games were put on ice, 20 games to date across the NHL had been postponed.
Five teams — the Flames, Boston Bruins, Nashville Predators, Colorado Avalanche and Florida Panthers — have been shut down through the NHL's holiday break.
Despite the impact of the coronavirus around the NHL, Dubas remained optimistic that the league as whole won't have to go on pause.
"I'm hopeful that's not necessary," Dubas said. "But as we've all learned as we've gone through this for the last almost two years, every day is a new day, and it's impossible to say what what tomorrow is going to bring.
"My desire is that we are all working towards a place optimistically where we can get back to life as it was two years ago at this time. I'm generally optimistic.
"I hope we don't have to pause or delay, but if it's in the best interest of health and safety of the players and the fans and the public in general, I'm sure that the league will make the right decision."
DUBAS OK WITH GAMES
VANCOUVER — Kyle Dubas won't stand in his players' way.
If the National Hockey League does participate in the Winter Olympics in Beijing — a prospect which seems to be diminishing each day because of the resurgence of COVID-19 — the Maple Leafs' general manager will be supportive.
"Those athletes have worked their entire life to be in consideration to go to the Olympics, and it's something that they all aspire to when you talk to them," Dubas said.
"That's going to be their individual choice. I don't think it's our place to step in. For us to have a strong opinion either way, it would be a disservice to the aspirations of our players."
Auston Matthews already has been named to the United States roster. Other Leafs including John Tavares, Mitch Marner and Morgan Rielly (Canada), William Nylander (Sweden), Jack Campbell (U.S.), Petr Mrazek, Ondrej Kase and David Kampf (Czech Republic), Ilya Mikheyev (Russia) and Kristians Rubins (Latvia) would be under varying degrees of consideration to play in the Olympic tournament in February.

Along with its adaptability to tablets and smartphones, researchers will be pleased to discover that Congress.gov creates permanent URLs. On THOMAS, links to bills are temporary and specific to a user's individual search session; many users have bookmarked or copied and pasted a THOMAS URL only to get an error upon trying that URL again. Congress.gov URLs are not only permanent, they also are consistently formatted and should be helpful for surfacing official congressional information in Google and other general web search engines; for example, H.R. 3630 in the 112th Congress is: http://beta.congress.gov/bill/112th-congress/house-bill/3630. THOMAS has employed some work-arounds, such as the ability to share on social networking sites and construct legislative handles as permanent links, but the change on Congress.gov brings the system into more standard 21st-century practice.
Only a portion of the information on THOMAS is available on the beta site, so early testers will get an incomplete experience. The popular THOMAS Bill Summary and Status (BS&S) and text of legislation databases, each covering the 107th Congress (2001-2002) to the present, provide the core legislative content at launch. The "Legislation" option on the Congress.gov search box searches these two databases for all years that are online so far. Similar information for the 93rd to 106th Congresses, currently on THOMAS, will be added later. The beta site also features new profiles of Members of Congress going back to the 93rd Congress (1973-1974) and a new video and text introduction to the legislative process. THOMAS databases in the queue to migrate to Congress.gov include the texts of the Congressional Record and congressional committee reports, and databases tracking Senate action on treaties and presidential nominations.
Two of the most valuable features of THOMAS are the detailed recordings of the steps a measure has gone through in the legislative process and the links from those steps to a relevant source document. As an example, when THOMAS notes that House or Senate floor debate has taken place, that step is linked to the pages of debate in the Congressional Record. Committee reports are linked in the same way. Congress.gov does not have this feature fully implemented because some of the content to be linked is not online yet. Status steps on the beta Congress.gov are also significantly less detailed than those available in the more current Congresses on THOMAS. This means a significant loss of utility for such tasks as tracking committee action and floor amendments until the full status content is brought over.
On the plus side, searchers will find a much cleaner and more easily navigable interface. Current information is easy to find but does not obscure the legislative background and helpful instructions needed to make sense of the complex legislative process. Information architect Peter Morville of Semantic Studies consulted on the redesign, which should accommodate additional THOMAS content without the clutter of the old site.
For search, the new Congress.gov uses Apache Solr. The popular open source software is used in other federal government applications, such as the NASA Planetary Data System catalog and FCC.gov's website search. Solr's faceted search capabilities are also on display at the much less obscure Zappos.com consumer shoe-shopping site. Congress.gov presents the same model used at these sites: Take a stab at a first search and then refine by selecting relevant facets, or attributes, of the information you seek. With Zappos, this means sandals or boots; on Congress.gov, it means House or Senate, among other choices.
On THOMAS, the central bill search box performs a search of the current Congress. Searchers must choose Advanced Search to get to prior congresses, a design that tends to obscure the presence of past data. On Congress.gov, the legislation search box performs a search of all Congresses online and displays the option to limit that search to the current Congress, along with other facets for refining search results.
Most of the full-text documents on THOMAS are also available on the Government Printing Office FDsys.gov site, the official website for congressional and other government documents. The value THOMAS adds is in tying the documents to the legislation they affect and placing them in context of the legislative process. Plain language bill summaries and status steps unique to THOMAS help researchers decipher the sometimes arcane manner is which a bill becomes a law, or doesn't. Serious researchers will still want to use both THOMAS/Congress.gov and FDsys.gov, an approach that should become easier with both systems adopting the faceted search approach.
Progress on the federal legislative information system is welcome in many quarters, but advocates of open access remain disappointed that Congress has not used this opportunity to introduce a bulk data download capability. Free alternatives to THOMAS, such as GovTrack.us, rely on the inferior process of web scraping congressional databases to get their data. GovTrack's scraped database is used by a number of civic information sites, including OpenCongress.org and MapLight.org. Advocates argue that the diverse needs of citizens can be better met if straightforward access to the data in bulk is opened to web developers. An example: THOMAS and the Congress.gov beta lack a key feature—email and RSS alerts—offered by GovTrack, OpenCongress.org, the Sunlight Foundation's Scout site, and other alternatives.
The Congress.gov beta is still in the early stages of incorporating existing THOMAS content and implementing the improved search functions that THOMAS users have been waiting for. The Law Library of Congress, which is managing the transition, is anxious to get your feedback and suggestions via its form at http://beta.congress.gov/survey.

Marvel Comics has confirmed its intention to relaunch several titles under new creative teams following Avengers vs X-Men, reports Entertainment Weekly.
As rumoured earlier this week, Jonathan Hickman will move to a new, twice-monthly Avengers series following the conclusion of his Fantastic Four run. Artist Jerome Opena will join him on the title.
Brian Michael Bendis will write All-New X-Men alongside artist Stuart Immonen in a title which sees the five original mutant teammates brought to the present from the past.
"It's the one thing X-Men fans have always asked for is: They want Jean Grey back," said Bendis on the fan favourite character's imminent return.
"But they want Jean Grey. Not reincarnated Jean, or the ghost of Jean. Well, you're getting Jean back. And Jean is gonna be looking at a world that rattles her."
Rick Remender and John Cassaday will team on Uncanny Avengers, which will star Avengers and X-Men including Captain America, Wolverine, Thor and Havok, who go up against a revived Red Skull in the first arc.
Remender said: "It has a natural purpose for existing after AvX, where we can focus on human-mutant relations. The broad strokes are: Captain America comes out of AvX and recognizes that he hasn't done enough to help the mutants."
"It's not hype when we say that AvX is the culmination of a lot of stories we've done over the last several years," Marvel editor-in-chief Axel Alonso added.
"Characters are redeemed or not. Characters are changed. The X-Men and the Avengers are both repositioned for the future. What better time to shake things up?"
An image showing 13 of the key players – including Susan Storm, Rocket Raccoon, Nova and Spider-Man – was published with the article.
The new titles will be rolled out slowly between October and February of next year.

Jay says that he is a writer, martial artist, sketcher, and dreamer but mostly just a husband and father. Since getting married to the wonderful and patient woman of his dreams, and becoming a father (of two young boys), he has fallen into the category of 'lapsed nerd' as he is a former RPer, Live Role-Player, and comic book junkie. Science fiction and fantasy books are the staple of his shelves - both in terms of books and movies ... however, he's never seen Star Wars (any of them) but please don't hold that against him! He is currently trying to find a medical cure for the thing called sleep, as it is interferring with the thing he calls life. If you want to know more about him go to www.jayfaulkner.com


Only one week left and I head back home. Although I do miss Manila, I don't like saying goodbye to my siblings and my adorable nephews and nieces. I always wish we didn't have to live oceans apart from each other.
I've been going back and forth my brother and sister's house. Now i'm with the sister and when we're not searching the outlets for great bargains, and when she's not busy being supermom, we're in the kitchen baking or cooking, as if making up for lost sister time. I've mentioned before that my sister has a lot to do with my ability to cook. I often watched her in the kitchen and most especially, ate most of what she made. Now that I know my way around the kitchen as well, it's nice to do some tandem cooking.
The other day, we visited a cherry orchard and harvested this summer fruit with the kids. We had a wonderful time climbing trees and ladders, trying to pick the sweetest cherries possible. We harvested so much that we had more than enough for our first cherry pie attempt.
Making a cherry pie was surprisingly simple. All you really need is some sugar and cornstarch and store bought pie crust that just make things a lot easier and delicious. I am happy to report that our first cherry pie attempt was a success! The cherry pie filling was nicely tart and sweet with the right gooey consistency. My sister thinks that it could use a little less sugar and she's probably right. Next time, instead of using 1 1/2 cups sugar, I'll probably settle for just 1 cup. That large slice of pie is sitting happily in my stomach and I'm trying to figure out how long I'll have to run today to burn off all that sugar.
Here's a quick post to end my hiatus.
Am on vacation visiting my siblings and now have all the time to write and blog, so no more excuses.
For now, here's a recipe that my sister and I tried out this afternoon. We chose the recipe from a cookbook that I sent her on her birthday. Although I've never tried the famous Magnolia cupcakes, I've heard only good things about them and figured that this cookbook would be a good one to have.
We wanted to make something quick and simple so we chose the recipe for a coffee cake. Coffee cakes don't need to contain coffee, but are meant to be served with the caffeine-filled drink. The recipe we found called for a poppy seed filling but since we didn't have any poppy seeds, we altered the recipe. Instead of a plain flavored cake, we added some coffee to it. Coffee flavored coffee cake? Why not?
The cake was very dense and had a nice subtle coffee flavor, making it like a mocha chiffon cake. One thing my sister and I both noticed was that even after baking the cake for it's required time, there was a raw flour taste to it. We couldn't quite figure out why this was and thought that maybe the recipe could have used half a teaspoon of baking soda to make the cake rise more. Other than that, this cake was slightly addicting and could easily be tomorrow's breakfast.
NOTE: It is best to separate the eggs when cold and then allow them to come to room temperature before proceeding with this recipe.
Line an 8 x 8 x 2-inch squared pan with waxed paper.
To prepare the coffee cake: In a medium-size bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
In a small bowl, lightly beat the egg yolks, about 1 minute.
In a large bowl, on the low speed of an electric mixer, cream the shortening and the sugar until fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Add the egg yolks. Add the dry ingredients in two parts, alternating with the milk. In a separate bowl, on the high speed of an electric mixer, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the batter. Batter will be thick and doughlike.
Meanwhile, prepare the topping: In a small bowl, mix together the flour, the brown sugar, and the baking powder. Using a pastry blender, cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Pour the batter into prepared pan. Make indentations with the back of a spoon and press teaspoonfuls of the poppy filling into each indentation. Sprinkle the topping over cake. Bake 40-45 minutes or until cake tester comes out with moist crumbs attached. Do not over bake.
Allow to cool for 20 minutes before cutting and serving.
It was love at first bite for this pound cake recipe and I. This cake is how I know pound cakes should be – moist, dense, with just the right amount of decadence from the butter. I was out to have a long-term relationship with this one.
When I was new to this recipe, I had managed to sabotage it in many inexplicable ways, turning the cake into a rubbery texture or simply burning the cake. Now that I have learned to master the recipe, I've become more confident in altering the recipe, thus the idea of a marble cake.
I figured that the recipe for a marble cake couldn't be that far from a pound cake so I read several recipes online and took my inspiration from this. It seemed like all I needed to do was take about 1/4 of the pound cake batter and add 1/4 of unsweetened cocoa powder to it. It's that simple. Once I had my chocolate batter, all I needed to do was incorporate it into my pound cake batter, making sure that I wasn't completely mixing the two. Remember, the goal is to make swirls of chocolate in the cake. I was afraid of over-mixing the batter and only gave it one mix, which was apparently not enough.
The result was still a beautiful cake with most of the chocolate on the bottom (no swirls were made). The cocoa powder made the cake even more dense that I would save the chocolate bite for last. I always use a 10′ bundt pan for this recipe which yields a very large cake. It's a good thing this cake tastes better as the days go by so you have a good excuse not to eat it all in one day.
Time has been going by so quickly. With the 09-10 school year ending soon and my marathon training, down time for me means getting enough sleep, and if i'm lucky, a massage. I've been so caught up with all of this that I realized too late that I failed to write an anniversary post! Yes, last March 29, Kitchen Attempts turned one!
Chocolate Orange – my favorite combination.
Fortunately though, I can still find the time to bake. Last week, I was whining at the thought of having to fulfill orders after a long day at work and a 15k run. Who wants to bake orders late at night, right? But I was surprised that once in the kitchen, that I actually didn't mind it at all. Being in the kitchen was a nice escape and this helped me get my baking groove back.
My cousin, Karen Young has been making amazingly wonderful sweets for as long as I can remember. If I remember right, she even made me my high school graduation cake. Nowadays, she is known as the culinary master behind Karen's Kitchen. Last Sunday, Ate Karen came over with boxes of sweets for the whole family. I would have been a fool to pass up the chance to try her other wonderful confections.
I tried everything, proudly in moderation. But her Sticky Toffee Pudding blew me away and didn't allow me to have just one serving. A mouth-full turned into a full serving. Sigh. But it was so worth it. I haven't had anything so moist and perfectly sweet. The cake, which has a rich brown sugar flavor almost reminds me of food for the gods. The dates at the bottom of the cake have a tangy taste that give a nice contrast to the richness of the cake. And that toffee topping. Oh, that toffee topping. It's like fudge, caramel and butter all rolled into one. Simply sinful but totally worth the calories.
I checked her site for this product but couldn't find it and figured that it's probably new. Hopefully it isn't only available during the Christmas season.
This afternoon, I received a semi-frantic SMS from my co-teaher who I will be making cupcakes for on her wedding day. She needed "stuffers" for her souvenir jars and didn't know what to put in them. Cupcakes would have been an overkill so I suggested cookies. This was also the perfect opportunity to test drive (or should I say test bake?) a cookie recipe I had found on this food blog, Bakeaholic.
A bit of yellow sprinkles to match mt friend's wedding motif. Perhaps yellow M&Ms will look prettier?
As the name suggests, these flatsos are flat cookies that are a little crunchy on the outside and perfectly chewy on the inside. Very hard to resist. I really liked the hint of saltiness in these cookies but my mom (who is my biggest food critic) thought that the recipe could have used a little less of it. To each his own, I suppose.
We'll see tomorrow if these cookies pass my friend's standards, but whether or not they make an appearance at that wedding, they will certainly become a staple in our kitchen.

It is generally agreed that small impulsive energy bursts called nanoflares are responsible for at least some of the Sun's hot corona, but whether they are the explanation for most of the multimillion-degree plasma has been a matter of ongoing debate. We present here evidence that nanoflares are widespread in an active region observed by the X-Ray Telescope on board the Hinode mission. The distributions of intensity fluctuations have small but important asymmetries, whether taken from individual pixels, multipixel subregions, or the entire active region. Negative fluctuations (corresponding to reduced intensity) are greater in number but weaker in amplitude, so that the median fluctuation is negative compared to a mean of zero. Using Monte Carlo simulations, we show that only part of this asymmetry can be explained by Poisson photon statistics. The remainder is explainable through a tendency for exponentially decreasing intensity, such as would be expected from a cooling plasma produced from a nanoflare. We suggest that nanoflares are a universal heating process within active regions.

The entire video game industry is seemingly waiting for Sony to finally go ahead and lower the MSRP on its PS3 hardware, and the chatter just won't stop. Sony's CEO Sir Howard Stringer will have none of it, however. Responding to a question from Reuters about the "logic" of not cutting price on PS3, he snapped back, "I (would) lose money on every PlayStation I make -- how's that for logic."
"I (would) lose money on every PlayStation I make -- how's that for logic." Not with the PS3 Slim that will come out. And i fully expect that to be announced at TGS for $299 and it will be bundled with GT5 and or FFXII.

Dogecoin (DOGE) Price Explodes More Than 34% on Binance Listing News
Jul 5 2019 · 09:37 UTC | Updated Feb 4 2020 · 11:11
by Teuta Franjkovic · 4 min read
The price of the popular Dogecoin cryptocurrency skyrocketed after the announcement that it has been listed on the Binance exchange at midday (UTC) Friday. The cryptocurrency had surged by 34 percent to $0.004324.
Binance announced that they will list Dogecoin (DOGE) and open trading for DOGE/BNB, DOGE/BTC, DOGE/USDT, DOGE/PAX and DOGE/USDC trading pairs at 2019/07/05 12:00 PM (UTC). Starting from today, users can deposit DOGE in preparation for trading. DOGE Listing Fee is 0 BNB.
They tweeted:
#Binance Will Dogecoin ( $DOGE)https://t.co/buj7QF3dGC pic.twitter.com/LNIoLua3l7
— Binance (@binance) July 5, 2019
After the news DOGE jumped more than 34% to $0.004324 at the time of writing. That means that around $100 million has been injected into the altcoin's market cap, but also leaves the door open for further highs or a dip as traders interest cools off. During its all-time high in late 2017, Dogecoin hit $0.017.
DOGE is the 27th largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, and has been already listed on almost 80 exchanges.
The idea its creators Billy Markus and Jackson Palmer had, was to try to popularize a "lighter" approach to cryptocurrencies among the audience that was fed up with technicalities and stories of controversies. They said that choosing "Shiba Inu" for its mascot, they wanted to put the fun back in the world of cryptos while offering the same level of functionalities as the bigger and more serious players.
Palmer also said that he doesn't believe that crypto industry is progressing, as today there are a lot of startups with a poor quality of work in the sphere. He said:
"All in all, the cryptocurrency space increasingly feels like a bunch of white libertarian bros sitting around hoping to get rich and coming up with half-baked, buzzword-filled business ideas which often fail in an effort to try and do so."
What is interesting is that this Binance's move was followed by a Tweet from Ethereum's co-founder Vitalik Buterin who called himself a "pro-DOGE" when answering on some investors questions.
Hei Genius,
What do you think of Dogecoin?
Please answer me
— Samu (@QuodSemper) July 4, 2019
He answered:
I'm very pro-Dogecoin.
— Vitalik Non-giver of Ether (@VitalikButerin) July 4, 2019
And after "Samu" tweeted on June 27 that we would see a Dogecoin price rally soon, John McAfee answered:
I have to agree
— John McAfee (@officialmcafee) June 27, 2019
Let's also not forget that last year, Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao said he is no longer involved in deciding which coin to list. He added back then that there is no hard metric to be listed, but if a project has a good working product and has users, they will list it.
Also, two months ago, Coinbase announced that "Coinbase Wallet", its user-controlled (i.e. non-custodial) wallet app for iOS and Android, is being updated to include Dogecoin (DOGE) support.
Some members of crypto community think the decision came out as a result of Elon Musk's endorsement on April 2:
Dogecoin might be my fav cryptocurrency. It's pretty cool.
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) April 2, 2019
Later he went on with his April fool's joke stating that he is the first (and last) 'CEO' of Dogecoin. The entrepreneur quickly replaced his Twitter biography with a short "CEO of Dogecoin."
Musk has been pretty much pro-crypto especially Bitcoin even though his companies are not involved in the crypto activity. As Musk explained, that is because of the high energy intensity of cryptos. He said:
"One of the downsides of crypto is that computationally it is quite energy intensive. So there have to be some kind of constraints on the creation of crypto. But it's very energy intensive to create the incremental Bitcoin at this point."

Low Cost Hotels in Harare ➤ Best Prices Guaranteed!
Zimbabwe's capital city of Harare is a metropolitan poster-child for the prosperity of post-Independence Zimbabwe. Since the nation gained its freedom in 1980, Harare, with its population of 680,000, has been transformed from Colonial outpost to capital metropolis, with gleaming modern high-rises, Westernized shops, and hordes of businesspeople and tourists. Much about the city seems new; even its name is a major change from Salisbury, the British moniker given the town when Cecil Rhodes claimed the country and town for theEngland in 1890. The area had been known as Harara when it was ruled by Chief Neharawa of the Seki. At the time, there wasn't much there; the British South Africa Company (BSAC) built the community up as a base for gold mining in the Zambezi Valley; though the glittering quarry never paid off as expected, Salisbury became a center of commerce and industry. Much of the Colonial residue has been wiped off the face of the city -- even street names have been changed to reflect the return of African rule. Yet, many British landmarks remain, from the Anglican Cathedral, built between 1913 and 1963, to the Queen Victoria Museum, with its natural history exhibits. Harare is a clean, vibrant city with plenty worth seeing; visitors also take time to stroll through Harare Gardens and take in the historic buildings along Robert Mugabe Road. Ona decidedly more modern note, the gold the British longed for can be found, at least skin deep, at the Sheraton Hotel and Harare International Conference Center, where everythingfrom the windows (tinted) to the fixtures (gilded) have a golden sheen. Perhaps the city's most impressive attraction is the National Gallery of Zimbabwe, which showcases the world-famous stone sculptures of Joram Nyanga and the Shona sculptors of Tengenenge. The gallery also exhibits a wide range of African art from around the continent. On the more up tempo side of things, the famous Zimbabwe music scene can be enjoyed at a number of Harare clubs. Beyond Harare's city centre, attractions include the Dombawasha (ancient rock paintings), the Lake Chivero Recreational Area, and a variety of game parks with safarilodges. To the south, travelers set out for the Great Zimbabwe Ruins, the remains of an ancient civilization that are being preserved as a World Heritage Site.
