Forget Professional Neutrality: It's Time to Post Politics
by Miranda E. L. Wheeler Mount Holyoke College Feb 18, 2018
For those of us that grew up in the information age, the memory of someone in our lives warning of the dangers of speaking your mind too freely online isn't too distant. Now more than ever, our social media has become self-branding, networking, proof of our relevance and ability to behave with tact in an adjacent public sphere, and an archive for which others can do quiet research on us with or without our full knowledge.
As a result, teachers, advisers, and guidance counselors tell us to keep vulgarity and base humor out of the picture and follow the rules of "polite company": if you won't say it around children or in front of your grandmother, keep it off public profiles. The idea is our social queues of whose immediately present don't extend into an entire friend's list past, present, and future anymore than it covers the college applications, interviewers, or even future in-laws that might be scouring the web for an insight into you as a human being. There are real-life consequences for slipping up - missing out on a scholarship, losing a job, or even offending a potential friend or networking contact without realizing the first thing that comes up with your name on Google is a heinous tweet from 2010 or a less-flattering photo that you should have never been tagged in. What's appropriate on a Saturday night with peers might not be so great at 9am on a Monday in an office when an assistant does a quick reputation-check before your meeting with a hiring manager. Or how a revenge post of intimate photos from your ex can turn into a career-ruining nightmare.
When posting, many of us know better than to post without considering the broadest possible audience that could potentially see it. When thinking of this "polite company" rule, however, does it extend into all social graces? What about the controversies your mother begs you to dodge at family reunions, like politics and religion?
I've personally given this consideration a great deal of thought this past year. All of my core values, personal research, sense of humanity and ethics, ideological views, and belief in human decency feel strongly opposed to the Trump administration. As a man proud of prejudice, a long history of mistreating people, and the ability to make absolutely anything and everything extremely personal (one look at his Twitter account makes it clear his world is distorted into an extreme worship-Trump or "losers-that-despise-Trump" binary), he brings up more than traditional platform debates. Is it talking politics to say "grab them by the p****" is offensive, predatory, evidence that counts towards a horrifying amount of sexual assault accusations, and misogynistic? Is it talking politics to say that his first campaign speech was full of unfounded racism? Is it talking politics to say we should be horrified that he is stealing national money to fund golf trips and keep his wife living in partially-estranged luxury in New York City? Is it talking politics to say that him insulting another nation for whom we have been on the brink of nuclear war for decades is terrifying, dangerous, and one of many acts of a mad man?
If he himself refuses to behave with professionalism and the usual boundaries of political rhetoric, and as I would argue, refuses to act presidential while being entirely unfit for office, is it talking politics to return that same lack of decorum?
After a certain point, is it even ethical that I'm concerned about retweeting a damning post from a meaningful and qualified contributor because I'm a senior wondering if a potential future employer will like Trump, or the absence of objectivity will harm a chance at professional or graduate-study journalistic pursuits? Is that not selling out? When is it bad judgement or poor manners to speak your mind, and when does it become blatantly unethical not to?
Well, now. We've crossed that line.
The amount of tongue-biting it takes to be polite and professional, particularly online, is more difficult some nights more than others under this administration for me. The State of the Union address was one of them.
It is a national tragedy is that I'm a 20-something studying in nowhere, Massachusetts with no presently immediate impact on global affairs and I have exerted more self-control and impulse-tweet-filtering in the last 24 hours than POTUS during his entire campaign.
Which is saying a great deal, because about 3 hours ago the words "orange devil" (only a conservative step down from my usual quip of 'cheeto demon' and some timely Oscar Wilde quotes) found their way to a Facebook post. It's not as though I slipped on my keyboard - creativity is coping, and disoriented rage is the fallback for those of us running on fumes. Presuming we survive the next three years and find a replacement that doesn't continue the constant threat of an impending reign of terror (I'll take anything closer to 44 than 45 at this point), the nation will need a time of healing and rest after. (Not to mention, the challenges ahead for presidential predecessors in damage repair are mounting daily.)
It's alarmingly easy to open-mouth-insert-foot in the land of eternal records, where history cannot die - only haunt you - and everything you say lasts forever: the internet. Sometimes, though, you have to say something. Sometimes the world is too strange, extreme, and exaggerated for satire to wrap its mind around, and our traditional civility is bought out, chewed up, or banned from the White House press room. There's a call to action and the rules don't apply as they used to.
Tweets. Picketing. Marching. Praying. Donating. Something to speak up and speak out. It's a moral imperative, a personal compulsion, and a coping mechanism - a matter of sanity,a question of the right side of history, and a need those of us staring in horror to have a solidarity as a band aid restoration over lost faith in humanity.
It's why we're all asking the same questions:
Anyone else seeing this? Anyone else HEARING this?
Anyone else crossing themselves every time they update themselves on breaking news and the global state of the affairs?
It's not just me right?
Is existential dread just a sign of the times?
If it feels like you're on thin ice, can we really afford not to be deliberately political? We're living in slippery-slope times where everything we say and do and are becomes inherently political. Some people are more conscious of this designation than others - particularly those whose personal lives can be destroyed, frayed, threatened, or even ended because of a powerful rich stranger's opinions - the kind that become legislation - on their rights to live and exist.
We can't be distant from politics now, even those of us who don't feel wired for those conversations and lack general interest. Those with certain privileges have the luxury of being theoretical about it - they live bulletproof lives and can walk through political battlefields unscathed, treating policy like hobbyist ideology with nothing on the line. Just because you can, doesn't mean you should ignore what's happening and affecting those around you. Just because you're here doesn't mean you relate to drafted boots on the ground.
Refusing to make a meaningful, ethical contradiction to the world you don't want to see isn't just keeping your head down or not taking a stand -- it's pure complacency. If you don't understand now, after all this time, why that's the most dangerous thing you can do, take a walk to the library. Pick up Elie Wiesel.

MALAYSIA @ EXPO 2020 DUBAI
Terengganu participates in 2020 Dubai Expo to promote state's tourism
State Tourism, Culture and Digital Technology Committee Chairman Ariffin Deraman
KUALA TERENGGANU, Dec 27 -- The Terengganu government, through the State Tourism Department, is participating in the week-long 2020 Dubai Expo being held at the Dubai Exhibition Centre since yesterday.
State Tourism, Culture and Digital Technology Committee, Ariffin Deraman said it was part of the measures to promote the state's tourism and penetrate the markets in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and the Middle East.
He said the expo, which involved the participation of more than 190 countries and world business organisations, was the best platform for Terengganu to introduce the uniqueness of the state and its products.
"This is Terengganu's first involvement in an international expo and we sincerely hope that it can open up opportunities and attracts the outside community to the uniqueness of Terengganu's ecotourism," he said in a statement today.
Besides promoting Terengganu tourism products such as Tasik Kenyir, Setiu Wetlands, the islands and beaches, Ariffin said, it was also to identify investment opportunities in the tourism sector.
He said the delegation from Terengganu would take advantage of the week-long visit to explore investment opportunities through several programmes coordinated with the media in the UAE, engagement sessions with Dubai tourism activists, 'tourism talks' and visits.
The 2020 Dubai Expo 2020 which was supposed to take place from Oct 20, 2020 to April 10, 2021 had to be postponed to Oct 1 this year due to the Covid-19 pandemic. It will run until March 31, 2022 with the theme 'Connecting Minds, Creating the Future'.

Fellow travelers
On August 24, 2015 August 24, 2015 By mrharris6603 Comments
While traveling throughout the far northwest we came across some incredible fellow travelers. Many of them were from Germany. As Americans we tend to see western history through "ethnocentric" eyes. We think only Bostonians, Chicagoians, and New Yorkers settled the west, discovered the gold, civilized the untamable. This was not the reality. Sure Jack London, Zane Grey, Max Brand, and Louis L'Amour told us how great American expansion was but just how many were really Americans?
What we learned from our new-found German friends was that there was a great western literary history from an author from Germany named Karl May. Karl May never visited the "wild west" but his stories fueled westward travel even today. Every German tourist we met got their "western travel bug" from reading Karl May. May created the characters of Winnetou, the wise chief of the Apache Tribe, and Old Shatterhand. German movie westerns were made following the exploits of these characters. May contributed to the popular image of Native Americans in German-speaking countries. Many well-known German-speaking people used May's heroes as models in their childhood. Even Albert Einstein once said, "he [May] has been dear to me in many a desperate hour".
When we meet our fellow travelers, listen to their stories, learn their histories we become a friendlier world, a peaceful world. I would like to thank my two new friends, Kai Otte and Sabrina Schmetter for teaching me that. And to the many other German travelers we met whose names went unknown to us. I hope we meet again!

The Dempster

Yup, this is the highway, it's called the Dempster and is the most northern highway in North America and the only one to cross the Arctic Circle. (The Dalton crosses it in Alaska but that road has a lot of pavement and ends up in an oil town that is pretty horrible to visit). The Dempster follows the old dog sled paths used by trappers and miners. It's 457 miles one way to it's end in Inuvik, NWT with only one service station/hotel about halfway at Eagle Plains, YT. Truckers own this road and will kill you if you don't pay attention. Ask my windshield. Round trip, which you have to do if you want to go home, is close to a 1000 miles on dirt, rock, gravel. and the worst mud you've ever driven in, we called it moose snot which seemed appropriate, all the while dodging 18-wheelers. It is an adventure I highly recommend.
The Gwich'in people of Fort McPherson are very welcoming of strangers and go out of their way to make them welcome. The population is 792, with 715 people identified as aboriginal, 650 as North American Indian, 30 as Métis, and 30 as Inuit or Inuvialuit. The St.Matthew's Anglican Church, Diocese of The Arctic.

Certificates!
Almost every place has these little certificates for driving that far north, drinking a toe, sticking a toe in the arctic, etc… It's sort of fun collecting them all. They also have "passports" for the historical routes that you can get stamped. It's really challenging collecting all the stamps because some are in very hard to reach locations. Here are some of our little certificates for driving to the Arctic.

Pepper the Robot Shows Mind-Blowing Dance Moves
By Althea Chang 2017-01-11T16:24:02Z
Softbank's robot Pepper has developed quite a personality and could soon be stealing the hearts at retail stores across the country.
Softbank's cute social robot Pepper, which was out of stock within just a minute of its launch in Japan, will soon be stealing the hearts of U.S. consumers as fleets of the robots gradually make it to retail stores and other venues across the country.
Pepper was on display at CES 2017, showing some new dance moves, word games, musical interactivity and its potential to serve as a bartender when connected with certain smart-home devices.
(Image credit: Jeremy Lips)
I visited with Pepper in New York last fall, and it appears that in just a few months, the robot's developers have made great strides. What seemed like just a display model with stiff gestures, spouting canned dialogue, has now become a robot with more expressive movements, a personality, a sense of humor and even a dash of potty-mouth when appropriate.
"The highlight and the differentiator for us is, we work on this character called Pepper, this persona, this presence and all the nuance of this user experience," said Omar Abdelwahed, head of studio at SoftBank Robotics America, during a demo at CES. "The last part of it is a screen, the first part of it is voice, emotion, animation, all to create this sort of relatedness so that you actually forget it's a robot."
But don't expect to be able to buy a home robot that can do your chores, make you dinner, fetch you a beer and engage you in deep conversations just yet. If there's even a way to combine the technology to perform all of those tasks, it could cost millions of dollars to put it into a single robot, said Chris Norris, director of marketing at Softbank's U.S. division.
Pepper models will be rolled out in the United States first as hospitality ambassadors at hotels and to help shoppers at retail stores and car dealerships.

Facebook engineers explain News Feed ranking algorithms; more changes soon
Curious about how the Facebook News Feed really works? Facebook engineers shed light on some of the magic underneath the stream.
By Rachel King for Between the Lines | August 6, 2013 -- 17:47 GMT (10:47 PDT) | Topic: Developer

MENLO PARK -- The Facebook News Feed is a curious place.
It's populated with content from a user's friends and favorite things running the gamut from sports teams to musicians to restaurants.
But the way things are ordered and the reasons why certain pieces of information are displayed more prominently than others aren't always clear to everyday users.
Without revealing all of the magic underneath the stream, Facebook engineers explained some of the ranking algorithms that determine which stories appear at the top of one's feed.
Chris Cox, vice president of product at Facebook, explained that the engineering team "wanted to demystify" News Feed rankings to both the media and the user base of more than one billion people worldwide and counting.
Today, the average user is said to see approximately 1,500 stories per day, based on a random sample of 7,000 daily active users over a one-week period during July 2013.
"For each user, we try to come up with a final score to determine how relevant that particular story is to that particular user," Backstrom summed up. "In the end, those scores build your personalized News Feed."
In describing the path the News Feed has taken since launching in 2006, Cox remarked that that the most interesting thing he noticed about the stream's launch were new "emergent types of activity" -- specifically content deriving from Groups.
Ironically, Cox quipped, the biggest Group was one that detested UI changes on Facebook. But some of the others in the top five were dedicated to global humanitarian causes, notably for breast cancer and Darfur.
But Cox recognized that there is still a lot of mystery about the News Feed "plumbing" and how it works.
The trick, Cox explained, is finding a balance between users don't want to miss anything from friends and content publishers (personal and professional) wanting to get their messages and brands out there.
From Facebook's perspective, it's about enabling as many interactions (Likes, Shares, clicks, comments, etc.) as possible.
Lars Backstrom, the engineering manager of News Feed rankings at Facebook, dived into the scoring system, describing that the model in place for the last few years takes stories since a user's last visit and computes how relevant that is to the viewer.
Higher scoring items are sorted above the fold so that users don't have to scroll as far to find them. Stories are also then sorted in blocks based on each given visit.
The original News Feed ranking system is on the left, while Story Bumping is taking place on the right. Image: Rachel King, ZDNet.
Backstrom continued that the engineering team is "always trying to make Feed as relevant as possible," and that involves a lot of experimentation with algorithms and results.
Thus, whenever the team makes changes, it is only tested on approximately one percent of users.
The team then compares how relevant those results are to the rest of the Facebook user base still set to the default experience.
Backstrom concluded, "Our main goal is to create the best personalized newspaper for all of our users."
Not surprisingly, Facebook is ready to mix up the News Feed once again. At least three big changes are already on the way:
Story Bumping: The biggest change coming soon, according to Backstrom. It debugs some of the scoring rankings in the attempt to ensure users don't miss anything from their friends that might have been missed just below the fold. The model is being shifted to instead of taking all new stories and ranking them, but ranking those that are "new to you." Essentially, the News Feed is taking more account of what users see and might pass over. Using the same random sample and time frame, Story Bumping led to five percent more stories visible from friends, eight percent more stories from Pages, and 57 to 70 percent more stories read overall.
Last Actor: Keeps track of the most recent "actor" you've interacted with in real-time. Backstrom stipulated this one is "less impactful," but still helps keeps things relevant. For example, hitting "Like" on a particular update/story at 8AM published by another user "signals" that you like what that friend is doing in particular that day. Thus, the News Feed will bump up that user's stories in the rankings for the rest of the day.
Chronological by Actor: This one is still being developed and won't launch to all users immediately. This one attempts to better integrate and sort stories based the competing factors of rankings and time published related to a particular user/friend/contact. Backstrom acknowledged that there is "still a little more work to do" before that one is rolled out to the masses.
Going forward, Backstrom stressed that Facebook is trying to be more transparent in changes to the News Feed, which historically haven't always been received well.
"We've done a lot of this work behind the scenes," Backstrom admitted. "We haven't talked much about that externally, and there's been a lot of speculation. We haven't done a great job of communicating changes."
He concluded, "Our main goal is to create the best personalized newspaper for all of our users."

Your DGB for today is to contact Senator John Barrasso (R-WY), Chairman of the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works, and ask him to support H.R. 1174: Fairness For Breastfeeding Mothers Act of 2017.
To sum it up, the bill asks certain buildings that are open to the public and contain a public restroom to do the right thing by providing a lactation room, other than a bathroom, that is hygienic and available for use by members of the public to express milk. It's 2017, and we at DGB think it's pretty reasonable that public spaces should have a place other than a bathroom made available to nursing mothers. You can read more about the bill and it's progress here.
You'll contact Senator Barrasso at his Washington DC office by phone at 202-224-6441, fax at 202-224-1724, or using this form. You can also find him on Twitter @SenJohnBarrasso. We're a fan of using #DignityForMothers, if you're so inclined to tweet at him.
If you have a personal story to share, please do that when you contact him. Or simply point out that if he wouldn't eat in a public restroom, babies shouldn't have to either.

3350 days ago I posted to Metafilter Project a timelapse music video about the founding year of our little sheep farm in Vermont. Since then, the camera equipment has definitely improved ... and the videos have gotten significantly shorter.* Most importantly, the view is still awesome.
As the project post explains, I decided to take on a year-long video project capturing one image each day — on our outdoor FarmCam — at the same time of day (noon!) for a year. I missed by about 10 images due to power outages, etc, but the missing images aren't glaring.
As an added bonus there are two additional time-lapse films available in the linked project: a year of sunrises and sunsets based on our farm's location.
NB: Videos should not auto-play, but note that all videos have music.
* The artist took to heart what the mods said in podcast 47 about the length of the previous tome.
I do enjoy the daily farm videos on Mastodon.
Thanks, COD. Means a lot to me to know anyone notices.
This is lovely, and wow you have snow for a long time!
It's fun to watch the snow go away, 30 seconds in (although it comes back!) and think about how that might happen up this way in a few weeks (or maybe months).
I really love watching the bird feeders empty and fill!
Thanks, TheCoug. The feeders on close-up would be a fun project too. Hmmm.


Most of us who have healthy eyesight are extremely attached to our vision, often without being conscious that we are. We depend heavily on our eyes and yet we rarely give them a second thought. I, at least, am this way. The physical world is almost hypervivid to me. The appearance of objects is registered instantly and boldly in my mind with no conscious effort on my part. I cannot help noticing tiny details.
Decades later, she goes to Tibet for a freelance assignment that was to upend that conclusion. Her subject was Sabriye Tenberken, a blind German woman who became a founder of Tibet's first school for the blind, in Lhasa in 1997, and then an international school in southern India in 2009.
The book offers her own understanding of the predicament of the students, and an important history of blindness and schooling for the blind. New technologies – such as sensory substitution devices, on which our project works – are not easily accessible in developing countries, and, reading the book raised important question as to how to make these technologies more accessible, but also how to integrate them into the regular curriculum of the schools for the blind.


According to Hayden James- The internet today is dominated by approx 83.5% of the websites that are developed in PHP, the widely accepted server-side scripting language. The PHP websites have a superlative response from the customers and it holds an outstanding position in web development. The growth rate graph of PHP web development has taken a steep ascending curve and continues to be buzzed among the clients and the developers. The rich enhanced features of the latest versions of PHP some of which are: Introduction to the Superlative Operator, Null Coalesce Operator, Parse Errors etc. have made the development easier. Still, the developers desire to have more tidy and clean, non-redundant, flawless and a bug-free code.
Getting started with such development is no more a big task for the PHP developers who follow Test Driven Development (TDD) technique since the initial phases of the project. Virtually, TDD is writing the piece of code in response to the test failures that occur. The Test Driven Development practice first allows you to develop the test, then run the code so that the assertion becomes false and then rewriting the code to pass the test.
Run the test and let it fail.
Again run the test, so that the code passes only the test that it failed.
Now repeat the above-mentioned steps until every test is passed.
Red: Writing a test to fail.
Green: Writing a code to pass the test.
Refactoring or improve the quality of the code.
KISS (Keep it simple, stupid) – This principle states that It is easier to detect and resolve bugs and improve the performance if the complexity of the code is less or it's simpler. With TDD, you can always have better and easier pieces of code as compared to the development done otherwise.
YAGNI (You ain't gonna need it) – Much often the developers in a lot of PHP development companies write codes in a project because they may need it later, and it results into the bugs and warnings. In Test Driven Development, you only draft to pass a particular test so the chances of the errors reduce.
These acronyms form the basis for TDD. Although the code may become lengthy when development undergoes a TDD approach, it is more sorted and can secure your time if it is practiced in a correct way.
As you need to pass a single test every time, the requirement of each phase reduces to an extent and so the focus is narrow, increasing the concentration of the developers to develop a particular phase.
TDDing in PHP provides you a written documentation of your project as the result of each test case is recorded and no extra time has to be spent on performing documentation of the project.
Test Driven Development makes the development of every module easier when compared to a whole and the intended code needs only refactoring to be done at the end.
The periodically conducted comprehensive tests enhance the confidence of the developers and minimize the bugs or the error in the final code.
Testing is crucial for the small and large enterprise applications that are developed in PHP web development companies. The engineers at Infowind Technologies craft your solutions by using the Test Driven Development technique and deliver you the best. Hopefully, the next time you design your solutions, you use TDD in your PHP development process.

How to say "something sucks" in French [duplicate]
How does one say "We suck" in French? (6 answers)
I'm looking for a good French translation for suck in the context of an activity being a drag. For instance, how would you say "cold-calling sucks"?
The shorter the translation the better.
traduction argot
Guillaume Fache
frenchiefrenchie
Sans plus de contexte : "suck" : aspirer, siphonner. "cold calling" démarchage téléphonique (spamming)
– Personne
You should add that it was to be used in a professional website in your question
– goto
It would translate as 'ça craint' or 'c'est nul'. For an activity, you could very well say "c'est chiant".
Guillaume FacheGuillaume Fache
+1 for mentioning my two favorites! I even combine them sometimes if the activity/object/person really sucks: "C'est/t'es nul à chier"!
– Papa Poule
You mention that it sucks and that it's a drag as in boring/annoying, or maybe a chore. I noted it doesn't necessarily suck ass/real bad in context. It may piss the person off or not. In so many words, there are many possible choices depending on whether you focus on qualifying what cold calling is or how people react to that. A few suggestions, mostly about the latter:
La sollicitation téléphonique/commerciale/au hasard/à froid c'est (bien/fort)...
désagréable (voir aussi)
emmerdant
fatigant (-)
rageant/enrageant
...c'est une nuisance.
"C'est de la merde" works perfectly as well when you speak about an activity, a show, a movie, etc...
GalzraGalzra
Doesn't work for a professional business website.
– frenchie
So? 'It sucks' doesn't work for a professional business website either.
– Evpok
No, 'prospecting sucks' works for me but 'prospecting is shit' wouldn't work; same as in French.
In that specific context I would use "ça me saoûle" although it doesn't qualify the cold-calling action but the effect it has on me.
Otherwise, "c'est naze", or "c'est relou" apply well. At least here in Paris.

So after thinking about it for a few days, I came up with "Dur dur le phoning" I think this conveys the message I'm looking to translate.
I can't claim that this doesn't work in French, because it might work in some variant. But in French from France, this sounds weird and doesn't mean anything close to "cold-calling sucks": "Dur dur" means that something is difficult, and "phoning" isn't a word.
– Gilles 'SO nous est hostile'
Ah, ok so you're looking for a way to say that it sucks to MAKE cold calls. I was thinking it was for expressing how much it sucks to RECEIVE such calls (at dinner time, for example). So yeah, the notion of "difficulty" would be more appropriate from the caller's point of view, but I still think Guillaume's "c'est nul (à chier)" would work for both ends of the calls: "C'est nul (à chier) [d'appeler les inconnus]." " C'est nul (à chier) [de recevoir les appels des inconnus]." Another slang way to capture "Dur dur" might be "[Ce n'est] PAS FASTOCHE [d'appeler les inconnus]."
Geez! Why the downvote? care to explain?
Not my downvote (in fact I'll even bring you to even), but it could POSSIBLY have something to do with you (and you are certainly not alone) thinking that a VERY thinly veiled reference to fellatio (or BEST case to breast-feeding [from "hind tit"]) is somehow more suitable for "a professional website" than a reference to excrement (and no, spelling it with an X (SUX) doesn't help one bit to lift it to respectability).

136 Files Rd
Hot Springs Orthodontist
Meet J. Adam Hall, D.D.S.
Ever since he was young, Dr. Hall has been intrigued by the way orthodontics can transform lives. Having grown up in Hot Springs Village and graduating from Jessieville High School, Dr. Hall is grateful to have returned home to practice orthodontics.
In the office, nothing pleases him more than watching a patient's face once their braces are removed and they see their beautiful new smile!
Dr. Hall received a biology degree while attending Harding University in Searcy. He then moved to the University of Tennessee College of Dentistry and earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery Degree.
Following dental school, Dr. Hall completed a general practice residency through Ole Miss and the VA hospital in Jackson, MS. He was then accepted into the orthodontic program at Louisiana State University, where he received his certificate to practice orthodontics.
After graduating from LSU in 2008, Dr. Hall and his wife were excited to return to Hot Springs to raise their family.
Dr. Hall is a board-eligible orthodontic candidate through the American Board of Orthodontics. He's committed to continuing education to provide you and your family with the highest orthodontic care around Hot Springs.
He stays at the top of his abilities by maintaining active membership in these professional organizations:

In a recent interview about her next upcoming movie Terminal, actress Margot Robbie revealed some more details about the production behind the Birds of Prey movie. The actress mentioned how 'hopefully' production will begin in January of next year.
During the course of the interview, Robbie mentioned how she was actively involved in the development of the Birds of Prey movie (she hinted that she might be a producer for this one). She went on to mention that it will be a smaller budget movie with an R rating and she hopes that they can begin filming in January.
Based on the video, you can tell that she is very much looking forward to playing Harley since it has been close to two years since Suicide Squad came out in theaters. She also dropped a little hint that suggested that Harley will have a new look.
As to what diversity will mean in front of the camera is yet to be seen considering there are no other casting announcements as of this writing. Robbie also played a big part in acquiring the film's director Cathy Yan (Dead Pigs, According To My Mother) as well as the screenwriter Christina Hodson (Bumblebee, Unforgettable).


Companies can benefit from further integrating CPM tools and BI, whether they're still evaluating CPM or already use CPM and BI software.
For organizations of all sizes, integrating corporate performance management (CPM) and business intelligence (BI) can have considerable value. With this combination, companies can closely link the creation of budgets and plans with insights from BI analytical tools.
Although companies see merit in CPM-BI adoption, where they are in the process differs. This article explores four use cases -- what you should do if: you have no CPM tools and no BI, you have CPM and no BI, you have BI and no CPM, you have both BI and CPM.
But first, let's look at how BI, and its analytics capabilities, relates to CPM, and its role in helping an organization manage its performance.
Plan initiation process: Here the fundamental question is whether you're headed in the right direction toward a new budget, strategy, etc. Reports and graphics provide the analysis of how a company did last year. What were the growth areas? What were the areas of profitability? BI is very effective here, and combined with a statement of management goals, provides numerous background elements for effective budget creation.
Plan creation: Here, you can use BI to explore how well the budget or strategy is progressing. Where are the major areas of cost? What is the potential for revenue production? How is it beginning to line up with management goals?
Plan review: This represents a more formal set of reports and graphics for top management. Based on analysis of these outputs, top management can call for adjustments to the primary budgets, plans and forecasts as required.
OLAP: Because OLAP deals with multiple dimensions, it's a great way to "peel the onion" to understand what is happening. As an example, you can review overall costs, cost by region and costs by region by product. Disaggregating results is a good way to understand performance by dimension and subdimension.
Report writing and ad hoc query: These tools are invaluable for understanding performance. CPM software often has these tools; BI tools for report writing and ad hoc query generally are better.
Advanced analytics: BI helps enhance CPM tools with advanced analytics and sophisticated graphics (see the figure below for an example).
The bubble chart in the figure shows three variables simultaneously. Net Present Value and Probability of Success are on the axes and the size of the bubble represents the cost of a project. The ability to represent three variables on a single chart can be quite valuable. CPM tools often have decent graphics, although BI tools generally are better for graphics.
No CPM and no BI: Well, your analytics cupboard seems pretty bare. From the CPM perspective, can you imagine spending one more year preparing budgets in Excel? For most companies, it's provable that you can deliver more strategic budgets with a CPM package, and save staff costs along the way. Build a business case for CPM.
From a BI perspective, you need to analyze your purchased applications, homegrown applications, and additional data sets that are valuable to the corporation. Examine the added value of having BI for data analysis and management decision making. Note that we are not just discussing BI for CPM here, but BI for all applications and all relevant data sets.
All things being equal, try CPM first. It will help you create budgets and strategies that provide competitive advantage. And, as a bonus, many CPM vendors offer serious BI capabilities that you can leverage across most applications. For advanced BI inside CPM packages, consider the CPM megavendors' offerings (IBM, Oracle, SAP and SAS) and some competent not so "mega" CPM vendors (e.g., Board International, AxiomEPM, Adaptive Insights).
CPM and no BI: As noted above, examine what core BI functionality comes with the existing CPM product. This may allow you to postpone your expenditure for additional BI products. Most CPM products come with decent BI functionality. Other CPM products may require an additional investment for BI.
BI but no CPM: We assume that budgets will continue to be done in Excel but CPM software has many advantages over Excel. You should leverage BI to provide insights on current data that will drive the plan. Then data from Excel must be exported to the BI tool for further analysis. Also, note that without CPM, it's hard to do sophisticated budgeting, planning or forecasting work.
CPM and BI: Use your BI tool to supplement the native BI capabilities in CPM. Note that the data sets in play consist of data input to the CPM tool, work-in-progress and data output from the CPM tool, reflecting budgets, plans, forecasts and strategies under consideration. Leverage the BI tools to gain tactical and strategic insights from the data.
Without a doubt, CPM and BI form a winning combination. CPM provides the ability to deliver superior budgets, plans, forecasts and strategies. BI tools within the CPM software provide a first layer of data analysis and management reporting. BI tools generally are superior to the BI component within CPM software, and can help you perform deeper CPM analysis. BI also has clear value across other data sets in the organization.
Any company with a CPM should definitely consider integration with a BI system. BI, in fact, is applicable to any organization with digital data/information repositories/streams.


There's a hail warning for a huge area around Sydney at the moment. Take cover!
ISP-level internet filtering creeps ever closer in Australia, with live trials coming up soon. As part of the federal budget, the Government allocated $125.8 million for a range of internet security initiatives, including the filtering program, over four years. Urrgh.
Microsoft have revealed their second Seinfeld Vista ad. Personally it seems as bewildering as the first one.
San Francisco's rogue admin has a few more tricks up his sleeve, with a terminal server hidden on the network somewhere. After a dramatic jailhouse meeting with San Francisco's mayor one week after his arrest, Childs handed over the data, but DTIS Chief Administrative Officer Ron Vinson said Wednesday that the city now expects to spend more than $1 million to clean up the mess.
Expect to see more robots helping out as the population becomes older, thanks AirQ. "Many years ago how common was it to see computerised cash registers? The day will come when robots become as common as computers are today." Not too surprising, I guess.
As long as those robots obey Asimov's three laws, like these, we should be ok. And hopefully they'll have a big red "I'm now in Evil Mode" light on their chest like in iRobot. Bicchi coordinates the EU-funded Phriends project to create a new generation of robots which is both intrinsically safe and versatile enough to interact with humans. "The most revolutionary and challenging feature of Phriends is designing and building robots capable of guaranteeing safety in physical human-robot interactions (pHRI)," the robotics specialist explains.
ZDNet report on the recent iTunes 8 upgrade, but apparently a bluescreen issue on some Windows machines has been fixed. The only issues I had with it is it keeps trying to install Safari on my PC and it seems to have naughtily associated itself with blank CD insertions, grr.
SecretSquirrel sent in a discussion about Firefox's EULA and Ubuntu. Mozilla Corp asked that this be added in order for us to continue to call the browser Firefox. Since Firefox is their trademark, which we intend to respect, we have the choice of working with Mozilla to meet their requirements, or switching to an unbranded browser.

(Reuters Health) - Elderly hospital patients may be less likely to die prematurely or be readmitted for serious complications when they're treated by female physicians, a U.S. study suggests.
With female doctors, patients had 4 percent lower odds of dying within a month after being admitted to the hospital and a 5 percent smaller chance of repeat hospitalizations within the first month after leaving the hospital, the study found.
"The difference in mortality rates surprised us," said lead author Dr. Yusuke Tsugawa, a health policy researcher at Harvard University in Boston.
Previous studies have found differences in the way men and women practice medicine, Tsugawa added by email. For example, female physicians are more likely to adhere to clinical guidelines and focus more on communication and forging relationships with patients.
"However, it was largely unknown whether such differences have a meaningful impact on patient outcomes," Tsugawa said.
While the findings don't necessarily mean patients need to seek out female doctors, the results do suggest there's room for some physicians to rethink how they communicate with patients and make treatment decisions, Tsugawa said.
To assess differences in outcomes for male and female doctors, researchers analyzed data on more than one million adults 65 and older insured by Medicare who altogether were hospitalized more than 1.5 million times between 2011 and 2014. During those hospital stays, they were treated by general internists.
The research team analyzed 30-day mortality rates - i.e., how many patients died within 30 days of being admitted to the hospital - and 30-day readmission rates, or how often patients returned to the hospital within 30 days of discharge.
During the study period, 58,344 internists treated at least one hospitalized Medicare patient. Among this group of doctors, 18,751, or 32 percent, were women.
After adjusting for patient and physician characteristics, there were small but clinically meaningful differences in mortality and readmission rates, researchers report in JAMA Internal Medicine.
Patients treated by female physicians had 30-day mortality rates of 11.07 percent, compared with 11.49 percent for male doctors, the study found.
With female doctors, patients had 30-day readmission rates of 15.02 percent, compared with 15.57 percent for male physicians.
Researchers saw better outcomes for mortality and readmissions with female physicians across a range of common conditions treated in the hospital including bloodstream infections, pneumonia, congestive heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, urinary tract infections, kidney failure, heart rhythm disorders and gastrointestinal bleeding.
The study is observational and doesn't explain why there might be better outcomes with female doctors, the researchers note. It's possible that gender serves as a marker of differences in practice patterns that might influence outcomes, they say.
Still, the findings that female internists provide higher quality care should push hospitals to do a better job of promoting and paying women, who typically earn less and have fewer opportunities for advancement than their male peers in medicine, Dr. Anna Parks and Dr. Rita Redberg of the University of California, San Francisco, argue in an accompanying editorial.
"Some have suggested that home responsibilities might contribute to female physicians providing inferior care and thus justify these disparities," Parks said by email.

Accounts Receivable Aging Reports are useful and important documents that allow companies to gauge the financial health of their customers. It categorizes a company's accounts receivable according to how long an invoice has been outstanding and provides a certain level of insight into the organization and its customers.
They determine if certain customers are not good credit risks. This can help companies decide if they should or should not be doing business with customers that are frequently late paying their invoices.
It is useful in determining the amount of bad debt to report on financial statements and how much should be written off.
Aging Reports are valuable in establishing better business practices. Companies can use these reports to understand why they are having difficulty collecting on accounts, and how to improve their credit policies.
Accounts Receivable Aging Reports in the enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution SAP Business One, provides an analysis of each customer receivable owed to a company.

Choosing your customers will require you to select by customer group or business partner properties. You can also provide a range of customer numbers, or leave this blank for all customers.
Next, select the aging date as this is the date the report uses to age the receivables. It automatically defaults to the current day, therefore if necessary to change dates, it must be indicated.
Simply click the ok button after selecting all necessary criteria and run the report. There are options to view Accounts Receivable invoice detail, or to just show balances.

CFP – The Old and the Young: Medieval Bodies Ignored – ICMS Kalamazoo 2018
The Old and the Young:
Medieval Bodies Ignored
Institute for Medieval Studies, University of Leeds
Sponsored Sessions at Kalamazoo, May 1043 2018
These sessions will concentrate upon the experiences and bodies of the old and the young, Recognising that the medieval normative body (male,
middle aged and white) has influenced the way we look at the MA, the intention of these sessions is to highlight the experiences of children and the elderly which are outside the boundaries of said norm. Furthermore, we wish to gain a greater understanding of how other factors (gender, race, ability, wealth, bodily status, power) intersect with and impact upon the experiences of elderly and young people. While medieval childhood studies is by no means a neglected field, historiography has recently turned away from a 'panhistorical and essentialist' child-centric model. This allows us to examine the experiences of a child within culturally specific contexts in which it might be neglected, abandoned or dismissed. Meanwhile, the old are often marginalised in scholarship, within the medieval discourse and in our lived reality. The hope is that by examining their experiences in concert with one another, we will be able to build up a clearer understanding of the lived experience of the old and the young in the Middle Ages.
Intersectional, interdisciplinary abstracts would be particularly welcomed.
Possible Topics Include:
' Specific historical experiences of being young and old
' Body as physical entity and as a site of rhetoric
' Dual nature of body: site of discourse and identity
' Descriptions of old and young bodies
Please submit a 250-word proposal for a 15- to 20-minute paper as well as a Participant Information Form to medievalbodiesignored@gmail.com by September 15, 2017.
CFP – 'THE ALL-SEEING EYE': Vision and Eyesight Across Time and Cultures Workshop, 2018
'THE ALL-SEEING EYE': Vision and Eyesight Across Time and Cultures Workshop, 2018
The workshop will take place at Swansea University on Wednesday 11 April 2018. It is hosted by the Research Group for Health, History and Culture, and the Effaced from History? research network on facial appearance.
A call for papers has been issued for this workshop which will explore medical, social, and cultural meanings of the eye and vision in contemporary and historical perspective. Vision has often provoked fascination within societies and cultures as the most revered sense. In Western Europe, the eye has been viewed scientifically as the most 'exquisite' organ, or spiritually as a 'window to the soul'. These positions have had an influence on how the eye has been perceived, both as a vital organ and, by implication, one that needed to be protected. Whilst the eye could bring delight to its holder, and be symbolic in a variety of ways, it could also, when lost, incur significant impairment. The workshop will explore this vision impairment and correction, and the extent to which sight loss has been stigmatised. It will welcome papers that explore eyesight and its meanings across time and place, to encourage trans-historical and interdisciplinary discussion. Possible subjects include but are not restricted to:
Concepts of the eye within scientific, medical, theological or cultural texts and images
Vision in relation to the other senses
Testing vision
Experiences of sight loss, total and partial
Restoring and regaining vision
Eye loss: stigma and disfigurement
Eye contact, staring and social interaction
Adornments to the eye: cosmetics, masks, vision aids and prosthetics
Visual and literary representations of the eye
Challenges to ableist narratives relating to sight loss and visual impairment.
The workshop will take place at Swansea University on Wednesday 11 April 2018. It is hosted by the Research Group for Health, History and Culture, and the Effaced from History? research network on facial appearance.
We invite proposals for twenty-minute papers. Proposals of no more than 200 words, together with the name and institutional affiliation of the speaker should be sent to Gemma Almond at gemma.almond@sciencemuseum.ac.uk or 655580@swansea.ac.uk. The closing date for submissions is 1st December 2017.
The workshop is convened by Professor David Turner, Swansea University and PhD candidate Gemma Almond, Swansea University and the Science Museum, London.

Fake News Panel including Milo Yiannopoulos met with little protest
Ashley Ladin
Thursday night's Fake News Panel, hosted by Cal Poly College Republicans and Cal Poly's Turning Point USA chapter, had relatively few protesters and extensive security precautions by the university. The panel, which featured controversial right-wing political commentator Milo Yiannopoulos and YouTube personalities Austen Fletcher, known online as Fleccas, and Carl Benjamin, known as Sargon of Akkad, drew about 25 protesters as opposed to the 50 to 60 protesters at Yiannopoulos' last appearance on campus in January 2017.
Increased security
Yiannopoulos' visit to Cal Poly last year during his "Dangerous Faggot" college tour incited student protests and a security force of roughly 100 police officers. Anticipating safety concerns this year, the University Police Department (UPD) increased their security efforts compared to last year. This included bringing in police officers from other California State Universities (CSU) and establishing a SWAT team presence. All of Mustang Way in front of Mott Athletics Center, where the event was located, was blocked off.
University spokesperson Matt Lazier said the university did not yet have an exact count of how many officers were brought in for the panel. Before the event, UPD Chief George Hughes estimated the amount spent on security this year would be similar to the $55,000 to $60,000 spent in 2017.
Since Yiannopoulos visited Cal Poly
Yiannopoulos resigned his position as an editor for far-right news source Breitbart News Network in February 2017 after video surfaced in which Yiannopoulos made comments that seemed to condone statutory rape and sexual relationships between young boys and grown men.
In July 2017, Yiannopoulos sued the publishing company Simon & Schuster for $10 million for breach of contract. Simon & Schuster editors also left harsh edits on the manuscript of Yiannopoulos' "Dangerous," which was published to the New York State Court's website as part of the case. Comments like, "Delete irrelevant and superfluous ethnic joke," and, "Unclear, unfunny, delete," were scattered throughout the full document.
Yiannopoulos dropped his lawsuit against Simon & Schuster in February 2018.
According to the Guardian, Yiannopoulos was permanently banned from Twitter in July 2016 for instigating abuse of Ghostbusters actor Leslie Jones.
Support for Yiannopoulos
Civil engineering freshman Evan McCollough attended the panel and said he supports many of Yiannopoulos' views.
"He's a Trump supporter, I'm a big Trump supporter. Some of the stuff he says is definitely risqué, but [in] my opinion, it's free speech," McCollough said. "It's sort of sad, honestly, that we have to spend this money to protect our First Amendment rights. I appreciate the university coming together, helping us out, protecting us, it means a lot."
Protesting the event
English senior James Cropp held a "Fuck White Supremacy" sign opposite of security and the event attendees. Cropp said he rejects Yiannopoulos' views and questioned the university's decision to have a large police presence.
"I adamantly disagree with all the things Milo stands for, ideologically. You see all these people on the secured side of the fence with their police battalion from all the CSUs and then you see maybe 100 people here who are opposed to this," Cropp said. "You begin to wonder, one — who the fucking cops serve, and two — who does the CSU really care about?"
Cropp was one of a handful of people who brought signs to protest the event. Psychology senior Bria Brickman sat next to the barrier with a sign that read "Free Speech ≠ Hate Speech." Brickman said she was disappointed with the protest turnout.
Ashley Ladin | Mustang News
"I'm sad there [are] not as many protesters this year. I do know there was something sent out that police were tipped off about the possibility of people protesting and I think a lot of people are not out here because of fear," Brickman said.
Other events were offered at the same time as the panel Thursday for students to attend. See page 5 for more.
NAACP and anti-fascist group visit
A small group of members from San Luis Obispo's chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) played instruments across from the Fake News Panel and held signs advocating for peace, including one which read, "LOVE IS INVINCIBLE." Member of NAACP and San Luis Obispo local Dominica Garcia said Cal Poly's environment needs to improve.
"This environment that we are living in — the hatred that seems to be pervasive all over — it's not going away and it seems to be especially condoned and tolerated on this campus," Garcia said. "We are here to spread a message of love, peace and tolerance, unlike the person who is speaking at this forum."
Arriving after all the Fake News Panel attendees entered Mott Athletics Center, a group of protesters began to hang signs along the barrier fence. The protesters wore masks over their faces and carried black and red flags, which they said represented anarchism and communism.
Vern, an individual who preferred not to share their full name, was among the masked protesters. They said the group was protesting not just Yiannopoulos' visit, but racism on Cal Poly's campus in general.
"We're here right now not just because Milo is here, but everything else going on with all this blackface, with the Armstrong administration allowing this racist flag to fly," Vern said. "He says he wants a community and a cohesive unity, but he brings people that are here specifically to disunify and tear the community apart. So just as much fuck Armstrong as fuck Milo."
Correction: A previous version of this story said Yiannopoulos came to Cal Poly in February 2017. It has been changed to January 2017.

A Customary Court at Agodi, Ibadan today dissolved a 16-year-old marriage, following a petition that the woman's offered pork as meal to her Muslim mother-in-law.
A fashion designer, Mr Kolawole Adegoke, sought the divorce, accusing his wife, Adeyinka, of deliberately flouting his instructions.
"My lord, the major grudge I have against her is that she intentionally bought and cooked pork for my mother who is a Muslim.
NAN reports that Adeyinka was not in court.
The young man is entitled to his decision but my question is this….what happened to his mother after eating the pork meat? I only see it as a leverage for already dead relationship.
Justified! It does not matter that pork is not normally poisonous to human beings, anybody who feeds another person with some meal she has an aversion to could well feed poison to such person. It is an aspect of behavior akin to the lady recently reported to have put some blood from menses into a customer's food. It is a highly reprehensible BEHAVIOUR from a wickedly troubled soul.
Muslim and their polygamous religiou any time they want to marry another woman if the wife refuse they will cook lies and make sure the woman leave so that new wife will enter,ladies beware forget their easy gifts.
