I work as a senior category manager at a software marketplace. We sell enterprise software as a part of a larger enterprise store or digital channel. My responsibilities include developing go-to markets for the top third-party products sold through our company.
A critical part of our workflow involves combining multiple marketplace solutions. For our engagement with ThirdEye Data, we used a storage solution from SoftNet and a TIBCO Spotfire analytical R server. To locate movement between on-premises and cloud, the team used AppUnity. Our open-source product is MySQL, and data is warehoused in the cloud via Amazon Redshift. The team used a Kony mobile application development product and secured the entire solution with Trend Micro Deep Security.
Rather than the programming languages in use, we focused on integrating multiple solutions and connecting the dots. Instead of using a single product for each discrete task, we used a combination of tools to build a real data pipeline. This task aimed to enable the organization to act upon external factors like public data sets, in this case. ThirdEye Data was also responsible for coordinating our combined solutions with different providers.
I've interacted directly with ThirdEye Data's executive leadership. Early on in the cycle, a dedicated project manager became our main point of contact. They assigned us at least two developers and a documentation and manual writing specialist.
I'd worked with ThirdEye data previously while I was with a different company. One of my employees there had found them during that time. Although I'd held a different position there, it had still been related to product management.
For this project, we hoped to expand areas of our business that we'd already been working on. My background is focused on big data. When the time came to produce this new solution, ThirdEye immediately came to mind. I hired them to partner with my current company.
We've spent around $100,000–$200,000 on ThirdEye Data's services.
This project ran between July–December 2016. Building the entire solution took approximately 5-6 months.
We're just starting the campaigns ThirdEye Data helped us build products for this month, so I don't have metrics to share yet. Our internal company stakeholders have expressed interest in extending this solution to other categories. Users who have tried it so far are happy with how it works. The architects who've reviewed it affirmed that it provided many useful details and had been created at the right level.
Essentially, our new product has become a call-to-action for a few of our campaigns at specific customer interaction stages. At this point, we've published the solution ThirdEye Data helped us build on our website and presented it at an annual conference. I tried to embed our new product into existing portals that promote comparable solutions, but it's so sophisticated that those systems couldn't accommodate it. Instead, I created independent placeholders that could adequately map to previous work we'd done. We're currently planning additional delivery mechanisms.
I was impressed by how well the team communicated with us throughout our engagement. They offered a notable level of availability, as well. The team is very agile and rapidly formulated useful ideas. Whenever we made requests, they quickly internalized our feedback to provide the best workable solution. We've had a good experience working with ThirdEye Data.
ThirdEye Data has demonstrably learned a great deal throughout their tenure as a development agency. They've has aggregated a substantial knowledge base from their numerous past projects. I most appreciated their expertise pertinent to building real data pipelines and creating chatbots. They've deftly narrowed their focus to certain technology spaces. In line with my preferences, they'd already completed comparable projects, rather this being their first endeavor of its kind.
ThirdEye Data's high-level technical experience is a key differentiator from comparable agencies. Furthermore, this factor was also a critical reason I couldn't have hired any other vendor. Had I done so, I would've had to validate that said team had successfully completed multiple client implementations. It was easy to affirm ThirdEye Data's value proposition for our company in terms of solutions and documentation.
Since I had a very open dialogue with ThirdEye Data, I felt comfortable requesting a more complex technical writing approach. Their solution was fantastic and their documentation was thorough, but I had specific marketing goals in mind that required improved content.
Per my recommendation, they hired external technical writers to revamp that material. This observation is most relevant for future clients who plan to use ThirdEye Data's assets for technical marketing content. It may not be required for a standard technical implementation.

I know I'm no fun but When I vote and if my candidate wins I do a little dance and song and continue to live my day to day. I normally don't gripe or complain till the next election. Not my thing. It's my style to let people work- especially those in office I've voted for. I've been the nit picking boss - not healthy for me. Same aspect for me in dealing with the president. It's easy to gripe and complain. That's what every one does. Not my cup of tea. I know - not fun but - the way I see it a person can make a decision and then ... grip and complain and even discuss some one they have no relevance to. I like baseball. What Papi Ortiz does or doesn't do - makes my coffee or eggs taste any better. Bet you me that if there were a free bookstore that toast in the morning would be goooooood or maybe let's say - if I was forgiven ... or loved ... or hated ... or anything like that - might change the flavor of toast. Politics I leave to the professionals. Not I. Griping i leave to the processionals as well. But , if your a modern day Jeddist like me. ... I hope you do vote and I hope you do become active in your every day life. . . Even if it s only political some days.

Yes , every where not only in America.
According to the World Health Organization, 56 million people die each year, which is an average of about 153,424 people each day. The exact number of people who die each day, however, fluctuates.

Thanks for the Obama video (I miss that guy). Now I can clearly see how he made that mistake. He just said the number 15 and he looked like he was tired. Getting confused between 2 numbers spoken is close proximity is totally different from Obama actually believing there are over 50 states in the union. Now explain to me how windmills causing cancer can be explained away using similar logic. Because in my mind, that was something Trump actually believed, not a slip of the tongue. You can't say "Cancer? Oh I meant to say candy." It just doesn't work. And in my opinion its disingenuous to try and make this comparison because you know Obama didn't believe there were 57 states because he was talking about the number of states he VISITED. So how can you argue that he meant it? You can't. It's not possible. But how can you argue Trump DIDN'T mean what he said about cancer? Do you see the difference?
As far as Trump being racist, I think you might be looking at a more limited set of evidence then what I'm looking at and I don't want to use this thread to try and convince you otherwise on that, so for now I will simply agree to disagree. If you want to have that argument I'm sure I already have a thread on the subject. But let's just say you have to go deeper into Trump's history to get a full picture. And yes, even Omarosa said it.

False, Obama did not have a ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY. Obama deported a LOT of people. Why? Because Obama was the POTUS. He had to defend the law and the constitution. But you don't have to violate people's human rights in that process. What you're doing is giving me thte general Republican red herring argument as if I'm talking about some generic immigration policy in the stead of the ZERO TOLERANCE policy that was mandated by Trump to Jeff Sessions.
Watch Jeff Sessions explain to you what the NEW policy is and what THEY (Trump Administration) will do to you. What Trump and his allies do is political spin. They will claim Obama did the same thing in order to escape criticism. But they lie and use "alternative facts" all the time. If Obama had the same policy how do you explain Sessions selling the policy as a deterrent to illegal border crossing? Meanwhile, Republicans say "Obama did it" and talk about how Democrats are for "Open Borders". Both these things CANNOT be true at the same time!
VixensVengeance wrote: What do you think would happen if we pulled funds and troops and support from those areas? One word…. BOOM!
www.thebalance.com/u-s-military-budget-c...enges-growth-3306320
And no... no boom. Because here's what you do instead (and please note I said I was for a strong STRATEGIC military). You keep your bases. You quietly reduce staff. You invest in automated and remote controlled defenses. You increase the budget for developing drones. You deploy your drones in patrol groups of 3. What you do is illustrate your technological superiority but with low-cost equipment. You bring in bullet proof robots that act as shields and can be remote operated. This means when you have an "active situation" one of several teams simply jumps into the remote piloting role from one of 3 bases in the US. If a drone or robot is taken down another one replaces it and can be operated by the same pilot. But outside of this you send humanitarian aid to the people. Instead of paying soldiers to die you pay fewer people to provide aid. Most people fight out of desperation. Their leaders use their desperation to make them fight for whatever cause that keeps those leaders in power. If the leader is religious then he chooses a religious cause. But the people still need that sense of "if we don't fight we die or our way of life dies". Along with the aid I would provide internet access and videos interviewing people of all faiths, sharing how they are free to practice their religions in other countries and talking about what their religions were meant to be. Instead of attacking people like Ilhan Omar I would let her speak to the world passionately about her faith so that they know that even high ranking politicians in the US represent the same religion that their leaders say is under attack. In other words... there are other ways to fight that don't require killing people or scaring them into submission. The idea that might makes right is something that you have to continuously maintain because eventually people will lose their fear of you. And by renewing that fear you become the monster they think you are. And some people are willing to die in order to fight that monster. And as long as we are the bigger monster they will never be able to fully see the monsters in their own midst, hyping them up, and causing them to fight. We have to stop assuming that everyone in the world wants to kill us and that everyone "hates democracy" and all these other ridiculous propagandist lies that keep us in perpetual war. But if you show a different side then maybe every country will aspire to be like the US instead of demonizing the US. And then the threats will decrease dramatically. We've done that with Japan already. And that was after Pearl Harbor and Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Now we're friends and allies. So you can't tell me its not possible.
Let me just tell you the latest because you probably haven't heard. NOW... The US government is sending letters to parents of sick children. When I say sick I'm talking about cancer and other life threatening illnesses. There was a policy for legal deferment of deportation based on medical condition. Trump quietly ended this policy so that parents have 33 days to take their children off whatever life saving treatment they were getting and leave the country to face the possible death of their child.
VixensVengeance wrote: And once again, Trump is NOT against asylum. He is for the full enforcement of Assylum Laws! There is a huge difference here and I get so sick and tired of people twisting the truth to suit their own narrative! Fuck! All I have to say…
If that were true... then why is it that after "Orange is the New Black" showed scenes where deportees could contact a certain phone number to get legal representation the REAL LIFE counterpart that it was based on... their immigration hotline was BLOCKED by ICE.
www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2019/08/26...e-immigrant-hotline/
This real life thing... COMPLETELY LEGAL. So please tell me how in blue blazes this fits into your defense of what Trump is for or against? And is this reality... ICE blocking immigrants from obtaining LEGAL representation... somehow in favor of the legal asylum system? If you need time to consider this before you respond, please take it. I can't make up these things in order to fit some narrative. This is simply what's happening and the narrative is that it's not. The narrative is that what's really happening is "fake news".
Here is Trump talking about going after birthright citizenship (you can skip to 3:35). So it's not about upholding the law or the constitution. It's about getting people out that he doesn't want in. Period. I'm showing you Trump's own words where HE is making the argument against you, not me. He's telling you that he doesn't care what the law says. Birthright citizenship is part of the constitution of the United States. He's not for it. Period. So then you have to ask yourself, "Well if he isn't for the law or the constitution then what IS he for?" I'm waiting for you to ask yourself this question. I hope that you will. I hope that you can see through these people. This isn't about winning an argument for me. It's about the truth. At this point we both think we have it, but only time and careful consideration of the facts will tell. Fair enough?

VixensVengeance wrote: All this bullshit… draft dodging, tax cheating, illegal visas. You are just making assertions without any evidence.
I'm seriously confused. Have you never heard of any of this before? Did you not know how Trump got out of the draft? Bone spurs is what TRUMP said. The problem is that truth is a pesky thing and tends to come out LATER.
www.newsweek.com/trump-bone-spurs-diagno...favor-father-1271399
The podiatrist, Larry Braunstein, died in 2007, but his daughters recently told The New York Times that their father frequently recalled coming to the aid of the Trump family during the Vietnam War in the late 1960s.
"I know it was a favor," said Elysa Braunstein, along with her sister, Sharon Kessel, in a report published on Wednesday. The two said that their father's account implied that Trump did not have the foot ailment that kept him out of the war.
So yes, the evidence is testimony from the daughter of the podiatrist. Was there any paper evidence that backed her testimony? No. Why would there be? Both doctors reported to have been involved in the bone spur diagnosis operated or lived in real estate owned by Fred Trump.
I can get into what we know about the tax cheating too, just to show you that these are not baseless claims. It's based on real reporting by competent news organizations like the NY Times. Trump wants you to think he cares about the law. By doing so he can use the law as a shield to make it so he doesn't look like a bigot. But that's why he said he could shoot someone (a crime) on 5th avenue and not lose any support. Because he believes people are stupid and easily shepherded into whatever position he wants. It bothers me that he said this openly.
www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/10/02/u...emes-fred-trump.html
Each one of these organizations knows very well that if they were lying and Trump could prove it he would be able to sue them into the ground. Trump is one of the most litigious people in US history. If you believe he's not suing them when he thinks he could win you do not know Donald Trump.
And maybe this is the point of all of this information. Everyone thinks, good or bad, that they know Donald Trump. And this is why I call it a cult of personality because WHY do they believe what they believe? Certainly, what I say about Trump isn't based on Trump's rhetoric. So what do people believe, if not Trump's own rhetoric, who think everyone is lying on Trump? What is that belief based on? I truly want to know. Why do you believe you KNOW Donald Trump in order to know what he would and wouldn't do? Or what his intentions are? Where does that confidence come from? Because the rest of us can easily see that he's a liar. He claimed to be a self-made billionaire and people think he's smart because of that. He lied to Forbes, claiming his dad's money was his and so they put him on the Forbes list and he used that to get bank loans. You can call that smart Sith deception but it also means he's a liar and lies in order to get power. So believing him, believing a sith who you know lies for their own advantage, why? I can understand if you said, no I know he's a liar, tax dodger, con man, racist, etc. but I don't care because we have common interests. That, I can understand. But defending him... that I don't get. Why not just own the fact that he is a horrible person and an excellent sith? Why sith? I'm not saying that because he's horrible and horrible=sith. No. I'm saying that because in spite of how horrible he is he still got elected to the highest office in the WORLD.

So, I stay out of politics for the sake of it always becoming a "Thanksgiving table" style discussion where no one's mind is actually changed but I have a point that I want to bring up. I think in today's environment we really need to look at the media we intake, when you read a story that evokes an emotional reaction are you checking a different source for that information. Are you following up on the story to see if the original is being updated with corrections? These are things I ask because it happens on both sides and it serves to blind us to the actualy cause of the ever increasing political divide that stops meaningful legislation instead of "seesaw" laws that will just be thrown away by the next congress or president. Also, how often are things flying under the radar so to speak because we are all looking in one direction?

I think this is spot on Kobos. We live in an era where everyone is accused of 'Fake News', yet the amount of times I see people posting stuff which a quick Google search confirms to be total nonsense is insane!
I must admit that I don't necessarily check EVERY SINGLE source, but as soon as I see anything which surprises me or makes me think 'hmmm', I always look for a second or third source confirming it

The whole Epstein Case is one GIANT reoccurring conspiracy.. as he's not the first high profile Pedophile connected to industry heads and policy makers..
911 was an inside job, the Deep State is 70 years old, and your planet is ran by psychopaths, pedos, and murderers..
If you think the rich and powerful don't conspire for more wealth and control.. well.. just bless your heart lol
I see a lot of false equivalence here. Just because one thing is true doesn't make another thing true. I see this in conspiracy theories all the time. There's usually a leap in logic that people gloss over like a plot hole in a movie. If you're into the movie you might not notice the plot hole. If you're critical of the movie (and there are endless youtube videos proving this) you can find almost every single hole in it. And if you're a fanboy of a certain franchise its easier to find easter eggs in a movie. Not seeing the holes doesn't mean you're not smart. It just means that the narrative has suspended your disbelief. Tons of science fiction movies have very bad science but we don't generally watch them for the science so we try not to pay too much attention. Conspiracy theories are the same way. If you like conspiracy theories then you're in it more so for the narrative and are less likely to see the plot holes. Please understand this is not an attack. I wish I had some kind of blinking sign that said "Not an attack", but it's really not because like I said before I was into conspiracy theories too. I even thought Alex Jones's secret Molech video was legit. But I was also a Christian and so the idea of politicians worshiping a 30 foot idol appealed to my beliefs.
With that said... you've said the whole Epstein case was a conspiracy before. I challenged you on that. You basically tried to make the point that people knew and didn't report it. But that's not what a conspiracy is. Conspiracy theorists will have you believe that people knew and sat on the information BECAUSE (and this is something they couldn't know without these people admitting it) they were in on some conspiracy to cover it up. Conspiracy theorists are ALWAYS hyping their own brand as a "truth teller" and to do that they know they have to discredit and undermine mainstream news organizations because guess what? That's their competition.
But how? A news giant should never be competition to a conspiracy theorist unless that one person thinks of themselves as a source of "news". But what journalism school did they attend? What credible sources do they have? Who did they get on the record? They just insert their opinions and theories as fact and ignore the most likely alternative to their own BS.
Reporters do not own the paper or network. It has to go through a process. Because the organization can be sued this means the process has to be legal and avoid legal liability. It's the difference between a legal company that operates over the table vs an illegal operation that operates UNDER the table. The standards are completely different. You can't go to a pharmacy and get mad when they wont sell you marijuana. Same thing. A news organization has checks and balances on zealous reporting. And yes, going after prominent or wealthy people is incredibly dangerous for an organization. Jeff Bezos aint worried about Alex Jones but if he was and Alex Jones said something to affect Amazon's profits... even Alex Jones would probably keep his mouth shut. It's not the same thing as the NY Times or the Daily Beast or CNN or some other organization saying it. And so these organizations have to PROVE what they say where as conspiracy theorists do not. Which means theorists can say whatever they want and if asked they'll just say "it is my opinion. It's just a theory." And they hide behind free speech. But there are libel and slander laws that can hold an organization responsible financially. So even if they sit on a story, that doesn't mean it is a story they don't want to tell. Sometimes its a story they simply cannot tell or cannot tell YET. Every major organization has come out since and told the Epstein story. So what happened? Are they no longer part of the conspiracy? Or... is it because they had enough information to tell the story they wanted to tell (and not get sued)? Don't forget, Epstein's documents of allegations were SEALED. That's the whole point of having such things sealed; so that they can't be used publicly. That's the whole point. So again... not a conspiracy. Just real journalism.
what evidence do you have to support your claims of a 70 year old deep state, and psychopaths, pedophiles, and murderers. What evidence do you have?
Are there rich and powerful people that conspire for more wealth and power? Obviously. But they don't have to do what conspiracy theories are telling you they do. There are completely legal ways for the wealthy to gain more wealth and power. The Koch brothers is a perfect example. All they have to do is lobby and support candidates who will vote according to their interests. If they were doing something more effective outside of this then for what reason would they waste their money doing it this way? And Trump actually proved that if a rich person can use an organization with other people's money for their own agenda, they will. So why then, would the rich and powerful not use vehicles like corporations and superPACs to get their way? That's all they need. This is what makes them masters of the universe. Thinking they need to like drink blood and sacrifice babies is a completely fabricated drama designed to sell products the same way that rap music has been invaded by sex, drugs, violence and greed. These things SELL. Period. Conspiracy theories are an industry that prey on people that want to hear the worst about people in authority. The theorists get fame and notoriety and more views on their videos so they actually make money on it. Many will even have patreon or some other form of monetization and beg for your support so they can "keep doing this important work". And people keep falling for it.

Free Nat Now – Abdullah should intervene to ensure that his administration does not start the slide down the slippery slope of repression to mark Malaysia's 50th Merdeka anniversary
by Lim Kit Siang
(Petaling Jaya, Saturday): The Prime Minister and Internal Security Minister, Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi must intervene to free Nathaniel Tan immediately to ensure that his administration does not start the slide down the slippery slope of repression to mark Malaysia's 50th Merdeka anniversary – openly violating his pledges of an open, democratic, accountable and good governance when he was appointed to the highest office of the land 44 months ago.
The secretive circumstances in the first seven hours of arrest of Nathaniel Tan, an aide of Anwar Ibrahim and information bureau staff of Parti Keadilan Rakyat, where his friends, relatives and supporters had to go on a "wild goose chase" to locate his whereabouts with the police initially disclaiming knowledge and refusing to give information about his detention, is a scandal which speaks of a police which has yet to fully accept that the first principle of policing in a democratic system must be policing for the people and not policing to serve the government leaders of the day.
The irregular and illegal circumstances of Tan's arrest, with the police spiriting him away for seven hours without proper accounting, raises the question as to the actual motives behind the police action.
Is Tan's arrest the beginning of a clampdown on dissent and criticism particularly in the blogosphere?
Had Tan become a pawn in a trade-off among the powers-that-be in the political and police establishments to close ranks and protect their vested interests in the face of more and more specific and detailed allegations and increasing expose in the public domain of corruption, malpractices and abuses of power involving both the top political and police establishments?
Free Nat Now. Abdullah should be aware that the whole world is watching Malaysia. If the Prime Minister does not want the 50th Merdeka Anniversary celebrations to start off infamously, he should act and restrain police abuses by freeing Tan immediately.

Bi-level pricing model, Minimizing CO2e Emissions, Road Toll
Minimizing CO2e emissions by setting a road toll

Journal
Transportation Research Part D: Transport and Environment
The main purpose of this paper is to develop a bi-level pricing model to minimize the CO2e emissions and the total travel time in a small road network. In the lower level of the model, it is assumed that users of the road network find a dynamic user equilibrium which minimises the total costs of those in the system. For the higher level of the model, different road toll strategies are applied in order to minimize the CO2e emissions. The model has been applied to an illustrative example. It shows the effects on traffic flows, revenues, total time and CO2e emissions for different numbers of servers collecting tolls and different pricing strategies over a morning peak traffic period. The results show that the CO2e emissions produced can be significantly affected by the number of servers and the type of toll strategy employed. The model is also used to find the best toll strategy when there is a constraint on the revenue that is required to be raised from the toll and how this affects the emissions produced. Further runs compare strategies to minimize the CO2e emissions with those that minimize total travel time in the road system. In the illustrative example, the results for minimizing CO2e emissions are shown to be similar to the results obtained from minimizing the total travel time.

Julia Eileen Gillard (Barry, 29 september 1961) is een Australisch voormalig politicus. Ze was van 24 juni 2010 tot 27 juni 2013 de 27e premier van Australië voor de progressieve Labor Party.

Gillard volgde Kevin Rudd op die op 24 juni de steun verloor van zijn partij, waardoor Gillard die vicepremier was, door de Labor Party werd gekozen als nieuwe leider van de partij, hierdoor werd ze de eerste vrouwelijke premier van Australië. Rudd volgde haar vervolgens in 2013 weer op.

Loopbaan
Gillard werd geboren in Barry (Wales) als dochter van de mijnwerkerszoon John Gillard en diens echtgenote Moira Gillard. Ze heeft een drie jaar oudere zuster.

Als kind kreeg ze een ontsteking aan de bronchiën, waarna haar ouders werd geadviseerd een warmer klimaat op te zoeken omdat dit de genezing zou bevorderen. Het gezin emigreerde daarop in 1966 naar Australië en vestigde zich in Adelaide, waar ze naar de Mitcham Demonstration School en de Unley High School ging.

Gillard studeerde aanvankelijk aan de Universiteit van Adelaide, maar stopte in 1982 met studeren en verhuisde naar Melbourne waar ze bij de Australische studentenbond ging werken. In 1986 studeerde ze af aan de Universiteit van Melbourne en het jaar daarop begon ze bij het advocatenkantoor Slater & Gordon in Werribee, waar ze arbeidsrecht behandelde. In 1990 werd ze op 29-jarige leeftijd toegelaten als een van de eerste vrouwelijke partners van het bedrijf.

Op 17 juli 2010 kondigde de premier nieuwe verkiezingen aan die op 21 augustus 2010 plaatsvonden. Na het vertrek van Kevin Rudd steeg de Labor Party in de peilingen. Bij deze verkiezingen haalde zowel Gillard als oppositieleider Tony Abbott 72 van de 150 zetels, zodat beiden geen meerderheid hadden. Australië kreeg hierna een Labor-minderheidsregering met steun van de Groene Partij en 3 onafhankelijken.

Toen ze op 26 juni 2013 intern geen steun meer kreeg voor haar leiderschap van de partij - Rudd kreeg weer wel de steun van de partij - diende Gillard de volgende dag haar ontslag in. Rudd volgde haar op als leider van de partij en ook als premier.

Na haar vertrek uit de politiek werd Gillard gasthoogleraar aan de Universiteit van Adelaide en werkte ze bij het Brookings Institution's Center for Universal Education. In 2014 verschenen haar politieke memoires, My Story.

Жан Батист Огюст Етиен Шарко () е френски лекар, океанограф, полярен изследовател.

Ранни години (1867 – 1902)
Роден е на 15 юли 1867 година в Ньой сюр Сен, Франция, в семейството на известния невролог Жан-Мартен Шарко. През 1888 завършва медицинско училище и служи в подразделенията на алпийските стрелци като фелдшер. Едновременно с това, до смъртта на баща си през 1893, му асистира в медицинската му дейност в различни европейски страни. През 1895 защитава докторска дисертация по медицина на тема "Прогресираща мускулна дистрофия". Активно се занимава със спорт и през 1894 става шампион на Франция по ръгби с отбора на "Стад Франсе". През 1896 се жени за Жана Юго, внучката на Виктор Юго.

През 1892 става собственик на първата си яхта, а след това постепенно увеличава техните размери, като става опитен мореходец. През 1901 г., със своята яхта, провежда океанографски изследвания в района на Хебридските, Шетландските и Фарьорските о-ви, а през 1902 получава звание на морски офицер и плава до Исландия и остров Ян Майен.

Експедиционна дейност (1903 – 1914)

Първа Антарктическа експедиция (1903 – 1905)
През 1903 – 1905 възглавява френска антарктическа експедиция на кораба "Франсе", като изследва около 1000 км от западното крайбрежие на п-ов Земя Греъм. Инициатор е за назоваването на крайбрежното море на името на Фадей Белинсхаузен – Белинсхаузен. След благоприятно зимуване, през 1904 – 1905 открива островите Думер () и Жубен (), архипелага Мелхиор (), п-ов Пастьор (), Бряг Лубе (66º 30` – 68º ю.ш.) и Земя Шарко. След завръщането си донася 75 сандъка с материали и експонати за Парижкия музей по естествена история и след тяхната обработка издава книгата: "Le "Français" au pôle Sud" (1906).

Втора антарктическа експедиция (1908 – 1910)

През 1908 – 1910 ръководи нова експедиция на караба "Пуркуа-Па" в море Белинсхаузен, по време на която през 1909 открива остров Шарко () и залива Маргьорит (). По време на двете експедиции извършва изследвания по океанография, метеорология, зоология и ботаника. През 1910 излиза книгата му "Le "Pourquoi-Pas?" dans l'Antarctique", третираща изследванията му по време на втората антарктическа експедиция.

През 1911 извършва океанографски изследвания в протока Ла Манш.

Участие в Първата световна война (1914 – 1918)
От началото на Първата световна война Шарко служи в морската болница в Шербур, но през 1915 е назначен за командир на кораб за борба с подводници и до края на войната се занимава с противоподводната отбрана на бреговете на Бретан и Нормандия. Награден е с френски и британски ордени.

Нови океанографски изследвания и смърт (1918 – 1936)
От 1918 до 1925 се занимава с литоложки изследвания в Северно и Балтийско море и Бискайския залив.

През 1928 участва в търсенето на изчезналия самолет на Руал Амундсен.

От 1926 до 1936 изследва крайбрежието на Гренландия. В периода 1934 – 1936 се занимава с подготовката на материалите за експедицията на Пол Емил Виктор във вътрешността на острова. При завръщането си от Гренландия, на 16 септември 1936, корабът му попада в буря и потъва недалеко от бреговете на Исландия, като се спасява само един моряк. Трагично загиналия в морето Шарко е погребан на 12 октомври в парижкото гробище Монмартър.

Награди, звания и памет

Lead stolen from church roofs in Oxfordshire

CHURCHES across Oxfordshire are being warned to be on their guard after thieves stole lead from rooftops.
The thefts took place last month at St Mary's Church in Garsington and All Saints' Church in Cuddesdon, both near Oxford.
Temporary repairs are being carried out, according to a spokeswoman for the Oxford Diocese.
READ AGAIN: Churches urged to fit roof alarms to beat lead thieves
She added: "The next stage will be assessing the cost of repair, probably not with lead as there are other materials that are not as attractive to thieves.
"Someone heard the thieves and called the police but they had gone by the time the officers arrived, which was within 10 minutes of being called out."
In 2016 the Oxfordshire Historic Churches Trust said it wanted all churches in diocese to have roof alarms fitted as a deterrent.
The trust said since the middle of the year 18 village churches had lead ripped from their roofs by criminal gangs.
As a result, it launched the Alarms for Churches Appeal to help villages and local communities install alarm systems to protect their church roofs as quickly as possible.
The appeal aimed to cover half the cost involved in installing an electronic alarm system, and is offering to pay up to £2,500 per church.

The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) is a United States government agency which explores complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). It was initially created as the Office of Alternative Medicine (OAM), and renamed the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) before receiving its current name.[1] NCCIH is one of the 27 institutes and centers that make up the National Institutes of Health (NIH) within the Department of Health and Human Services of the federal government of the United States.
Its stated mission is: "to define, through rigorous scientific investigation, the usefulness and safety of complementary and alternative medicine interventions and their roles in improving health and health care".[2]

Organization and history
Name and mission statement
NCCIH was established in October 1991, as the Office of Alternative Medicine (OAM), which was re-established as NCCAM in October 1998[3][4][5] and again as NCCIH in December 2014.[1] The name change to NCCIH has been discussed as an attempt by the center to mitigate criticism, such as to avoid the term "alternative" and to distance itself from having funded studies of questionable merit.[6][7]
NCCAM's mission statement declared that it is "dedicated to exploring complementary and alternative healing practices in the context of rigorous science; training complementary and alternative medicine researchers; and disseminating authoritative information to the public and professionals."[8] As NCCIH, the mission statement is "to define, through rigorous scientific investigation, the usefulness and safety of complementary and alternative medicine interventions and their roles in improving health and health care."[2]
As the Office of Alternative Medicine (OAM)
Joseph J. Jacobs was appointed the first director of the OAM in 1992. Initially, Jacobs' insistence on rigorous scientific methodology caused friction with the office's patrons, such as U.S. Senator Tom Harkin. Sen. Harkin, who had become convinced his allergies were cured by taking bee pollen pills, criticized the "unbendable rules of randomized clinical trials," saying "It is not necessary for the scientific community to understand the process before the American public can benefit from these therapies."[9] Harkin's office reportedly pressured the OAM to fund studies of specific "pet theories," including bee pollen and antineoplastons. In the face of increasing resistance to the use of scientific methodology in the study of alternative medicine, one of the OAM board members, Barrie Cassileth, publicly criticized the office, saying: "The degree to which nonsense has trickled down to every aspect of this office is astonishing ... It's the only place where opinions are counted as equal to data."[9] Finally, in 1994, Harkin appeared on television with cancer patients who blamed Jacobs for blocking their access to antineoplastons, leading Jacobs to resign from the OAM in frustration.[9] In an interview with Science, Jacobs "blasted politicians – especially Senator Tom Harkin... for pressuring his office, promoting certain therapies, and, he says, attempting an end run around objective science."[10]
Harkin drew support also from Iowa Representative Berkeley Bedell as Bedell had used cow colostrum against his Lyme disease.[4]
With the OAM's increasing budget in the 1990s, the office drew increasing criticism for its perceived lack of rigorous scientific study of alternative approaches in favor of uncritical boosterism. Paul Berg, a Nobel laureate in chemistry, wrote to the Senate that "Quackery will always prey on the gullible and uninformed, but we should not provide it with cover from the NIH," and called the office "an embarrassment to serious scientists."[11][12]:175 Allen Bromley, then-president of the American Physical Society, similarly wrote to Congress that the OAM had "emerged as an undiscriminating advocate of unconventional medicine. It has bestowed the considerable prestige of the NIH on a variety of highly dubious practices, some of which clearly violate basic laws of physics and more clearly resemble witchcraft."[9][11][12]:175 One opinion writer in The New York Times described the OAM as "Tom Harkin's folly".[13]
In 1995, Wayne Jonas, a promoter of homeopathy and political ally of Senator Harkin, became the director of the OAM, and continued in that role until 1999.[14] In 1997, the NCCAM budget was increased from $12 million to $20 million annually.[11] From 1990 to 1997, use of alternative medicine in the US increased by 25%, with a corresponding 50% increase in expenditures.[15] The OAM drew increasing criticism from eminent members of the scientific community with letters to the Senate Appropriations Committee when discussion of renewal of funding OAM came up.[12]:175 In 1998, the President of the North Carolina Medical Association publicly called for shutting down the OAM.[16]
In 1998, NIH director and Nobel laureate Harold Varmus came into conflict with Senator Harkin by pushing to have more NIH control of alternative medicine research.[17] The NIH Director placed the OAM under more strict scientific NIH control.[11][17] Senator Harkin responded by elevating OAM into an independent NIH "center", just short of being its own "institute", and renamed to be the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM). NCCAM had a mandate to promote a more rigorous and scientific approach to the study of alternative medicine, research training and career development, outreach, and "integration".
Stephen Strauss was the director of NCCAM from 1999 to 2006. He tried to bring more scientific rigor to the organization.[18] In 1999 the NCCAM budget was increased from $20 million to $50 million.[16][17] The United States Congress approved the appropriations without dissent. In 2000, the budget was increased to about $68 million, in 2001 to $90 million, in 2002 to $104 million, and in 2003, to $113 million.[16]
As NCCAM
In 2008 Josephine Briggs was appointed as director of NCCAM. She was "...a nephrologist with impeccable scientific credentials...". The appointment was considered surprising since she did not have a background in complementary and alternative medicine or integrative medicine. Writing for Science-Based Medicine, David Gorski states Briggs was in an impossible position. "She was a real scientist trying to impose scientific rigor on an enterprise that was inherently resistant to such an imposition". She attempted to impose a more scientific approach with two long term strategic plans. Unfortunately the plans used "...one of the most harmful tactics of quacks to legitimize their quackery under the banner of "integrative medicine", the co-opting of the opioid crisis as an excuse to claim all nonpharmacological treatments for pain as being "integrative". The results are threatening great harm to chronic pain patients by misguided governments wanting to force them to undergo quack treatments like acupuncture as a means of getting them off opioids". However she was able to eliminate studies on homeopathy and tried to counter anti vaccine beliefs. Energy healing was "...relegated to the fringes, if not eliminated". Most of the studies became centered around nutrition, exercise, pharmacognosy "...and other modalities within the realm of science-based medicine".[18]
In 2009, after 17 years of government testing at a cost of $2.5 billion, almost no clearly proven efficacy of alternative therapies had been found.[19] Senator Harkin complained, "One of the purposes of this center was to investigate and validate alternative approaches. Quite frankly, I must say publicly that it has fallen short. I think quite frankly that in this center and in the office previously before it, most of its focus has been on disproving things rather than seeking out and approving."[17][20][21] Members of the scientific community criticized this comment as showing Senator Harkin did not understand the basics of scientific inquiry, which tests hypotheses, but never intentionally attempts to "validate approaches".[17] In 2009, the NCCAM's yearly budget was increased to about $122 million.[17] Overall NIH funding for CAM research increased to $300 million by 2009.[17] By 2009, Americans were spending $34 billion annually on CAM.[22]
In 2012, the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) published a criticism that study after study had been funded by NCCAM, but "failed to prove that complementary or alternative therapies are anything more than placebos".[23] The JAMA criticism pointed to large wasting of research money on testing scientifically implausible treatments, citing "NCCAM officials spending $374,000 to find that inhaling lemon and lavender scents does not promote wound healing; $750,000 to find that prayer does not cure AIDS or hasten recovery from breast-reconstruction surgery; $390,000 to find that ancient Indian remedies do not control type 2 diabetes; $700,000 to find that magnets do not treat arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, or migraine headaches; and $406,000 to find that coffee enemas do not cure pancreatic cancer."[23] It was pointed out that negative results from testing were generally ignored by the public, that people continue to "believe what they want to believe, arguing that it does not matter what the data show: They know what works for them".[23] Continued increasing use of CAM products was also blamed on the lack of FDA ability to regulate alternative products, where negative studies do not result in FDA warnings or FDA-mandated changes on labeling, whereby few consumers are aware that many claims of many supplements were found not to be supported.[23]
As NCCIH
In 2014, while Josephine Briggs was the director, the NCCAM was renamed to the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH). Briggs retired in October of 2017.[24]
On August 29, 2018 the NCCIH announced Helene Langevin as the new director.[25] She was previously the director of the Osher Center and professor-in-residence of medicine at Harvard Medical School. Her medical interests involve connective tissue. Langevin "...believes that the stretching of connective tissue is how a number of CAM modalities "work", such as chiropractic, massage, and...acupuncture". She has been studying acupuncture since the 1990s. David Gorski says he is concerned that the "...balance of power at NCCIH is about to shift back towards pseudoscience..." and states that she will have the "...largest budget ever at NCCIH to fund that shift".[18]
NCCIH funds research into complementary and alternative medicine, including support for clinical trials of CAM techniques. The four primary areas of focus are research, research training and career development, outreach, and integration.[26] NCCIH divides complementary and alternative medicine into five forms:[27]
Whole medical systems such as homeopathy, naturopathy, traditional Chinese medicine, and ayurveda.
Mind-body medicine such as meditation, prayer, mental healing, art therapy, music therapy, and dance therapy.
Biologically based practices such as dietary supplements, herbal supplements, and scientifically unproven therapies such as shark cartilage.[28]
Manipulative and body-based practices such as spinal manipulation (both chiropractic and osteopathic) and massage.
Energy therapies such as qigong, reiki, therapeutic touch, and electromagnetic therapy.
The NCCIH charter states that "Of the 18 appointed members (of the council) 12 shall be selected from among the leading representatives of the health and scientific disciplines (including not less than 2 individuals who are leaders in the fields of public health and the behavioral or social sciences) relevant to the activities of NCCIH, particularly representatives of the health and scientific disciplines in the area of complementary and alternative medicine. Nine of the members shall be practitioners licensed in one or more of the major systems with which the Center is involved. Six of the members shall be appointed by the Secretary from the general public and shall include leaders in the fields of public policy, law, health policy, economics, and management. Three of the six shall represent the interests of individual consumers of complementary and alternative medicine."[29]
Since 1999 the division's funding has increased more than 6 fold.[5] Up to 2012, OAM and NCCAM have spent $1.6 billion funding CAM grants.[4] NCCAM supports about 50% of the total NCI spending on CAM between 1999 and 2009 making the total amount spent on CAM in this time $2.856 billion.[5]
The NCCIH budget for 2005 was $123 million. For fiscal year 2009 (ending September 30, 2009), it was $122 million.[30]
Research in alternative medicine is done elsewhere at NIH, notably in the National Cancer Institute. The NIH's Office of Cancer Complementary and Alternative Medicine had the same budget as NCCIH, $122 million, for fiscal year 2009. Other parts of NIH had an additional $50 million for FY 2009; NIH's total budget was about $29 billion.[30]
The NCCIH budget for 2015 was $124.1 million.[31] They requested a $3,459,000 funding increase for their 2016 budget.[32]
Examples of NCCAM research projects funded
Grant (USD) Purpose Result
$110,000,000[5] 362 projects for diabetes (ie. whether expressive writing reduce symptoms)

$250,000 in 2012[5] Effects of Energy Healers on cholesterol-fed rabbits. No results reported

NCCAM also funds education and outreach programs. Despite the negative findings on the effectiveness of distance healing, NCCAM awarded $180,000 to a consultant to develop an Internet based wellness program on the healing by Qigong.[5]
NCCIH has been criticized by Steven E. Nissen, Stephen Barrett, and Kimball Atwood among others, for funding, along with the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute[33] a study of EDTA chelation therapy for coronary artery disease, which lasted about 10 years and cost about $31 million, even though smaller, controlled trials found chelation ineffective.[34][35][36] Other NCCIH-funded studies have included the benefits of distant prayer for AIDS, the effects of lemon and lavender essential oils on wound healing,[4][37] "energy chelation", and "rats stressed out by white noise".[38]
In 2006, NCCIH was criticized in Science with the comment "NCCAM funds proposals of dubious merit; its research agenda is shaped more by politics than by science; and it is structured by its charter in a manner that precludes an independent review of its performance."[39] The authors suggested that, while it was appropriate to study alternative therapies, the quality of its research was lower than other NIH institutes, and that these studies could be performed under the auspices of other institutes within the NIH. As an example, the authors described a trial of gemcitabine with the Gonzalez regimen for stage II to IV pancreatic cancer, in the belief that cancer is caused by a deficiency of pancreatic proteolytic enzymes. Severe adverse effects were associated with the Gonzalez regimen, and no evidence in peer-reviewed journals supported the plausibility or efficacy of the regimen or chelation therapy.[39]
A 2012 study published in the Skeptical Inquirer examined the grants and awards funded by NCCIH from 2000 to 2011, which totaled $1.3 billion. The study found no discoveries in complementary and alternative medicine that would justify the existence of this center. The authors argued that, after 20 years and an expenditure of $2 billion, the failure of NCCIH was evidenced by the lack of publications and the failure to report clinical trials in peer-reviewed medical journals. They recommended that NCCIH be defunded or abolished, and the concept of funding alternative medicine be discontinued.[5]

Award Recipients : Yoshio Kajitani, Kagawa University, and Prof. Hirokazu Tatano, Kyoto University
Paper Title: Applicability of a Spatial Computable General Equilibrium Model to Assess the Short-Term Economic Impact of Natural Disasters, Economic Systems Research, 30(3), pp.289-312, 2018, Kajitani, Y. and Tatano, H.:
Award Date : August 2020
What is the Sir Richard Stone Prize?
Sir Richard Stone Prize is awarded every other year for the best paper(s) that was submitted and accepted for publication in IIOA's journal Economic Systems Research in the two consecutive volumes. The prize is donated by Francis & Taylor, the Publisher of the journal.
Sir John Richard Nicholas Stone (1913-1991) was an eminent British economist who in 1984 received the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences for developing an accounting model that could be used to track economic activities on a national and, later, an international scale. He is sometimes known as the 'father of national income accounting', and is the author of studies of consumer demand statistics and demand modeling, economic growth, and input-output. http://www.econ.cam.ac.uk/Stone/about-sir-richard-stone
Summary of the Paper:
サプライチェーン被害を考慮した災害の経済影響評価のアプローチ
In this paper, the authors provide an important contribution to the literature on the choice of and effectiveness of disaster impacts assessments approaches, with a specific focus on the role of estimated elasticities of substitution relative to the analytical time-frame. They quite effectively situate their research within the context of the relevant literature, and provided an exceedingly clear and concise description of the salient aspects of their model. their work supports the conclusion "that plausible settings can make CGE models suitable for disaster impact analysis, at least for short-run cases." The jury deemed this paper to be a significant contribution to the model validation literature.
