On February 16, 2011, a supercomputer called Watson won the Jeopardy! game show on national TV, playing against the top human champions.
It was a feat designed to draw comparisons to the famous 1997 defeat of chess champion Gary Kasparov by the IBM supercomputer Deep Blue.
This raises the question of whether Watson is really answering questions at all or is just noticing statistical correlations in vast amounts of data. But the mere act of building the machine has been a powerful exploration of just what we mean when we talk about knowing.
It was also a reminder that spectacle matters when it comes to teaching the public about computer science and encouraging students to study it. One CS professor reported that several new students showed up to a departmental party to watch the Jeopardy! showdown.
Updated design that is slightly thinner and slightly lighter.
Same screen dimensions and resolution, but display is slightly brighter and fused to the front glass.
Low resolution front-facing camera for video chat.
Low resolution rear-facing camera for augmented reality applications.
Dual-core A4 processor ("A5"?) clocked at about 1 GHz.
SSD storage options of 16, 64, and 128 Gb.
Ships with iOS 4.4 (iOS 5 waiting until iPhone 5).
Supports to-be-announced iMovie for iPad ($9.99).
But I'm also going to go out on a limb and predict that Apple will cut the entry-level price of iPad 2 to $399.
The most expensive part by far in the original iPad was the touchscreen display, estimated last April to cost $95. This cost was largely due to the 9.7-inch capacitive touch sensor having only entered mass production just for the iPad. A year later, with tens of millions of these larger touch sensors manufactured, the cost has presumably come down dramatically, even when offset by new technology that fuses the display to the front glass panel. Let's estimate that the touchscreen part now costs roughly $65 ($27 more than the iPhone retina display).
Assuming the other component prices are comparable to the iPod Touch (which seems reasonable to me, since they are essentially the same chips), the total price differential is just $48. So even with a large margin of error, it seems that Apple can afford to price the iPad at a retail price premium of just $100.
Steve Jobs has repeatedly said that Apple wants to price the iPad very competitively. The product's tagline is still: "A magical and revolutionary product at an unbelievable price." If they can afford to cut the price further, I think they will.
There is also some recent believable speculation that Apple will release another line of iPads in September. This will likely be a premium line with a higher entry price point (perhaps $599) that includes a retina display and correspondingly upgraded processor, graphics chips and memory. In other words, selling a cheaper iPad does not limit Apple's ability to sell expensive iPads in the future, just as selling cheaper iPods and Macs has not limited Apple's ability to sell more expensive lines of iPods and Macs.
Apple's primary advantage in the tablet market is software, not hardware. By carefully optimizing iOS software for the specific chips built into iOS devices and by nurturing their platform of media, apps, and services, Apple has managed to squeeze an incredible amount of customer value out of relatively cheap and underpowered hardware (made even less expensive by Apple's strategic use of cash reserves). I believe we have only scratched the surface of what is possible on the software side, even when relying on just the basic hardware of the original entry-level iPad.
Apple has stated that they do not currently know how to make a quality laptop for less than $999, but if they did, they would. It looks like they do know how to make a quality iPad for $399, and if they can, they will. The iPad does not need better hardware specs to be high-quality. Unless Apple has dreamed up truly amazing new functionality (which they occasionally do), I think consumers will prefer a lower price for an already high-quality product. A $399 iPad will really be hard for competitors to beat.
Update: Most of my co-workers think Apple will release a new iPad at $499 and lower the price of the original iPad to $399, as they have been doing with iPhones and have done in the past with some Macs. They don't think there is much incentive for Apple to cut prices on the latest, greatest iPad. I wouldn't be surprised if my co-workers are right. However, I still think my scenario above is not out of the question.
Update 2: My co-workers got it mostly right; the iPad 2 was launched with the same prices as the original. Original iPads are available starting at $399, but only while supplies last.
The funny thing about the critics who derided the iPad as "just a big iPod Touch" is that they were exactly right. They just came to the wrong conclusion. The amazing thing about the iPad is that it has the same simple and intuitive touch-optimized functionality as the iPod Touch. But it's bigger, so it's that much more useful and that much more fun.
This was pretty clear to us at Omni from the beginning, since we had never been very satisfied with most (conceptual) versions of our apps that fit on an iPhone-sized display. By contrast, we loved our iPad-sized translations almost immediately.
In college I never understood why you were allowed to be a Political Science major without taking any Economics courses. Isn't it true that money is power? Isn't politics primarily concerned with protecting and distributing wealth? There are some social issues like education or abortion that seem at first to fall outside of the realm of economics; but Freakonomics shows us how even there, quantitative economic analyses yield important insights.
I only took one Political Economy course and no pure Political Science classes, so arguably I didn't try very hard to find answers to these questions. But at the very least, I didn't see how you could have a complete discussion of political issues without bringing economics into it.
In a previous blog post I mentioned a brilliant history teacher who didn't understand the importance of campaign finance reform. Was he a product of an educational system that allowed people to take no economics classes?
One of my co-workers grew up in rural Indiana. He said he started voting Democrat after moving to Seattle, but his family all voted Republican. Why? He said they weren't dumb, but "they just don't know any better." I was still left wondering, why not? And what exactly don't they understand?
What's the Matter with Kansas? by Thomas Frank essentially describes how most of "conservative America" does not believe economics is an important part of politics. The Republican rhetoric is as follows. Anyone who tells you that you deserve more money is insulting you by insinuating that you don't have enough money (and by extension, insinuating that you are a failure). And anyone who makes arguments based on economic theory you don't understand are pretentious "elites" who are simply inflating their own egos and insulting you by insinuating that you're dumb. Why else would they be talking about math, when the issues that really matter are moral issues that they disagree with you about, like abortion and the right to bear arms.
What really struck me, in other words, is that the Republican narrative crucially depends upon widespread ignorance of basic economic theory.
From this perspective, Bill Clinton's famous rallying cry "It's the economy, stupid" seems in some ways genius (put the focus back on economics); but also feeds easily into the rhetoric ("he's calling you stupid").
Frank points out that the amazing thing about Marxism and Communism historically is that they got everyday people interested in economic theory. Today in America that is not the case. Economics is being systematically belittled by politicians. The system is really quite extraordinary—politicians funded by the wealthy get elected by the working class majority to enact "morally correct" policies which actually turn out to benefit the wealthy. All of this while blaming other politicians for the actual deteriorating prospects of working class Americans.
My case for why we should teach Economics 101 in the first year of high school has never been stronger.
Pure scientists have by and large been dimwitted about engineers and applied science. They couldn't get interested. They wouldn't recognize that many of the problems were as intellectually exacting as pure problems, and that many of the solutions were as satisfying and beautiful. Their instinct… was to take it for granted that applied science was an occupation for second-rate minds.
I have found this unspoken prejudice to still be alive and well in academia. All through my education, my teachers and colleagues and culture at large contributed to my notion that software engineering was a boring occupation for second-rate minds. No one said that to me directly, just as no one says "black people are inferior to whites." But both can be implied in the everyday ways that people talk about each other.
Of course, now that I am a software engineer, I indeed see that much of what we work on is as intellectually exacting as pure science, with solutions as satisfying and beautiful.

Baylor Women's Golf in Third at NCAA Championship
BRADENTON, Fla. – Baylor women's golf is in third place after day one at the NCAA Championship, but the Bears were only able to complete 11 holes before Friday's first-round play at The Concession Golf Club was suspended due to lightning. BU is at 7-over-par after finishing 62 of 90 individual holes.
Stanford (+3) leads the tournament and has also played 62 holes as a team. Duke (+5, 293) had the best score of the 12 teams to complete their first rounds, followed by Southern California (+9, 297) in fourth and Arizona (+12, 300) in fifth place. All 24 teams in the field have completed at least 10 holes, and the 12 teams whose rounds were suspended will resume play at 7:30 a.m. CT Saturday. The second round will begin at 8 a.m. for the 12 teams that completed the first round Friday.
Laura Lonardi leads the Bears and is tied for sixth place individually at 1-under through 12 holes. She made three straight birdies on holes 8-10. Freshman Dylan Kim is tied for 23rd place at 2-over through 12 holes, with 10 pars and two bogeys.
Hayley Davis got off to a slow start at 6-over through eight holes, but she made three straight birdies on holes 9-11 to get to 3-over with seven holes remaining in the round before play was suspended. Giovana Maymon is tied with Davis in 32nd place at 3-over through 13 holes, and Lauren Whyte is tied for 74th at 6-over through 14 holes.
· Davis and Lonardi joined UCLA's Louise Ridderstrom as the only golfers in the 132-player field to make three consecutive birdies on Friday.
· Baylor is fourth in the 24-team field in par-4 scoring average at 4.21.
· Baylor is sixth in the field with a 3.19 par-3 scoring average and eighth with a 5.25 par-5 scoring average – the Bears join Southern California as the only teams ranked in the top 10 in par-3, par-4 and par-5 scoring.
· Despite playing only 62 of 90 holes while 12 teams completed the first round, Baylor is tied for 10th in the field with 10 birdies made.
· Lonardi is second in the field in par-4 scoring average at 3.71, while Davis is tied for ninth at 4.00.
· Lonardi is one of 12 players tied for the tournament lead with four birdies – nine of those 12 players completed the first round, while Lonardi has six holes remaining to add to her total.
STAT OF THE ROUND
3 – the number of golfers to make three consecutive birdies on Friday, two of which were Baylor's Davis and Lonardi. Davis and Lonardi were also two of the three players to make birdies on hole No. 9.
TOP QUOTE
"It's a really challenging golf course just all the way around," head coach Jay Goble said. "I haven't looked at the scoreboard very much. I know that Texas A&M and UCLA have great teams, and they played not well this morning. The course played hard for everybody, it played hard for us. We still have some of the hard holes to finish. So we're just going to wake up early and go out there and start grinding again."
Baylor players will resume their first round at 7:30 a.m. CT Saturday. The Bears are scheduled to begin their second rounds from the 10th tee at 9 a.m., with Whyte up first. She'll be followed in 10-minute intervals by Maymon, Lonardi, Kim and Davis, respectively.

Q: Building Sitecore connection strings in c# I am currently working on a Sitecore project where the same  sitecore webapplication would point to Sitecore databases based on witch IIS website name the webapplication is running under.
Let's say the IIS webapplication is called www.company1.com, then the database names would be: www.company1.com.master, www.company1.com.web in \App_Config\ConnectionStrings.config.
I have tried to modify the connection string on Application_Start(), but that is not the best solution (possible but slow and ugly, first request dropped etc.).
Another approach is to use config file transformations, but that is not an options based on the number of web sites.
Is it possible to modify Sitecore.Context, somewhere in Application_Start – so Sitecore.Context.Database would work as expected?

A: You could setup multiple connection strings entries and then reference it in the  node in your web.config.
<connectionStrings>
  <add name="core" connectionString="[connection_string]" />
  <add name="master" connectionString="[connection_string]" />
  <add name="web" connectionString="[connection_string]" />
  <add name="web1" connectionString="[connection_string]" />
  <add name="web2" connectionString="[connection_string]" />
</connectionStrings>

<sites>
  <site name="website1" database="web1" hostName="www.company1.com" (...)  />
  <site name="website2" database="web2" hostName="www.company2.com" (...)  />
</sites>

Would that work for you?

A: I don't think there is. But you would not want to change the actual name of the connection string, you would want to change the value produced by it. Changing the standard Sitecore connection string names ("master", "core" and "web") would require a lot of related changes in web.config and related config files. On top of that you would probably end up in trouble, as there are modules and code out there still - doing specific Factory.GetDatabase("master") API calls - even if they shouldn't.
I've never attempted what you're asking for here in a Sitecore solution, but I expect it should be possible to create your own ConnectionStringProvider, as described in http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/ms254494(v=vs.100).aspx
The provider would need to return proper results for "master", "core" and so on - any databases you would normally have defined in your solution - and then a dynamic connection string based on the pattern you describe; considering the IIS application name or whatever  you need.

PRC Event at the House of Commons
Category : General Activities
Published Date: 22 Feb 2017
London, House of Commons - 22nd Feb 2017
PRC hosted an event at the House Commons, chaired by Conservative MP for Kettering, Philip Hollobone, titled "UK's Position on Israel/Palestine in the Trump and Brexit era."
The meeting discussed potential changes in policy towards Israel and Palestine in light of the recent shift to the right, both in the UK and the US. The speakers evaluated the challenges to peace, Trump's rhetoric of moving the US embassy to Jerusalem, the increase in settlement building in reaction to resolution 2334 and Theresa May's insistence on marking the anniversary of the Balfour Declaration.
The first speaker, Manuel Hassassian, Palestinian Ambassador to the United Kingdom, talked about the continuation of Palestinian injustice and how Trump's Presidency will only contribute further to this.
Ben Jamal, Director of the Palestine Solidarity Campaign was the next speaker. He stressed that the window for the two-state solution has passed, and that the policy suffers because Israel has always wanted Palestine to be less of a state. Jamal did shed some positive light on the Trump presidency suggesting that it could shake up a US foreign policy which he explains creates deadlock. He ended by stressing the importance of sanctions as the international community's best action towards Israel.
Convenor of the Liberal Democrats Friends of Palestine, Jonathan Fryer, spoke about how the UK had a different history with Palestine than the United States. The UK, Fryer argues, will have less influence on EU's position on Palestine after Brexit.
Sameh Habeeb, Head of Communications at the Palestinian Return Centre, ended the speeches by talking about Britain's need to take responsibility for its role in Palestine instead of simply following the United States. He also highlighted the Balfour Apology Campaign's petition launch.
During the Q&A session it was concluded that the pro-Palestine community needs to come together and formulate a coherent strategy in 2017 to effectively persuade the UK government to apologise for Balfour and lead the international community in finding workable solutions to the Palestinian crisis.

2020 GRAMMY Awards: Vote Now for 'Record of the Year'
Who should win at music's biggest night?
By Michael Cerio RADIO.COM
The 2020 GRAMMY Awards are almost here, but there is still time for your voice to be heard. One of the biggest awards of the night is Record of the Year, and it's your turn to tell us who you think should win.
There are a lot of eyes on the nominees for Best New Artist and Album of the Year because of the massive amount of talent in both categories, but really it's Record of the Year that might be the most important. Songs are what we consume the most, turning up the radio when our favorites come on, adding them to your playlist to craft your own soundtrack to life.
Albums are still a vital part of music, with artists painting a full picture, but the Record of the Year category is the best representation for what the past year has sounded like. A snapshot of the songs that lit up our world, dancing and feeling our way through it all, 3 or 4 minutes at a time.
We want to know who you think should win Record of the Year, but first a look at this year's nominees.
Bon Iver - Hey, Ma
A nostalgic trip swirls around the voice of Justin Vernon on "Hey, Ma" as the sound expands and contracts around his tender tone. One of the most dynamic and affecting moments on his Album of the Year nominated LP.
With an undercurrent of something sinister bubbling beneath the surface, Eilish flips the script on those that flex and posture, putting us all on notice who the real force is.
A boozy brunch turned into one of the most inescapable songs of the year, as Ariana Grande takes "retail therapy" and best friends as the best prescription to getting over heartbreak.
H.E.R. - Hard Place
You feel every once of the pain, as H.E.R. grapples with a tough choice on "Hard Place," filtered through her soaring sound and sincere touch that lets you in close.
Khalid - Talk
With the special touch from the electronic duo of Disclosure, Khalid puts the heart in "Talk," aching his way through the lovelorn anthem.
Lil Nas X featuring Billy Ray Cyrus - Old Town Road
Numbers don't lie. "Old Town Road" is the biggest song of 2019, setting the record for the most weeks ever at number one. In true 2019 fashion, it was rebooted several times along the way with help from Young Thug, BTS, and most of all Billy Ray Cyrus.
Lizzo - Truth Hurts
2017 didn't deserve this song, that's why we made a collective choice to save it until now. The tune went viral as Lizzo's reign spread, and had us all taking DNA tests.
Post Malone and Swae Lee - Sunflower
In any universe, "Sunflower" is an easy and unshakable hit. The Spider-man song that still feels brand new over a year later.
The choice is yours. Who should win Record of the Year at the 2020 GRAMMY Awards? Vote below for your favorite, and watch it all unfold on Sunday January 26 at 8PM ET on CBS.

Junction Sheep Range Provincial Park is a provincial park in British Columbia, Canada, located near the confluence of the Chilcotin and Fraser Rivers on the west bank of the latter river.

History
The Chilcotin Region began its history of agricultural settlements just as the Cariboo Gold Rush was waning in the 1860s. Two of the earliest ranches in this area were the Cotton and Deer Park Ranches, now amalgamated as Riske Creek Ranching. Settlement followed the accessible bunchgrass ranges along the terraces of the Chilcotin River between 1873 and 1893, and ranges have been used for livestock grazing since 1873. There is also historical evidence of mining in the area; remnants of old Chinese placer mining activities have been found at the confluence of the Fraser and Chilcotin Rivers. In 1973, a 4,573 hectare Wildlife Reserve, managed by the Fish and Wildlife Branch, was established to protect the bighorn sheep and their natural grassland habitat. This reserve was designated as the Junction Wildlife Management Area in 1987, and was designated a provincial park in 1995.

Conservation
The area protects critical breeding, lambing, and winter range of the largest population of non-migratory California bighorn sheep in the world, a blue-listed species. Approximately 500 bighorn sheep live in the area, feeding on bunchgrass and other low growing plants, and finding refuge from predators in the steep breaks at the edges of grassland benches. In the past, the Junction California bighorn sheep have also provided a source of sheep for transplants to other areas of North America where the sheep had been extirpated.

Recreation

I have a favorite jogging trail here in California that leads directly to the beach. For me, this destination proves to be a beautiful reward. Some call it an "enchanted path" for its magical and curious nature, which makes the journey as special as the destination.
As we delve deeper into optimizing the IRWA Learning Experience, we are on the journey-building path. Our goal is to create a customized experience for right of way professionals, users of right of way services and the general public at large that deploys relevant and valuable learning resources, connections and opportunities to support the work of building a better world. Right of way professionals are at the center of it all, with more learning options and ways to extend marketability and expertise in any specialized niche.
In February, the International Governing Council approved the IRWA Five-Year Curriculum Design Plan that blueprints and aligns innovative curriculum development through the year 2018. Based on what the right of way market has told us about its current and future needs, this plan marks a major curricular shift in focus toward market relevance and project-based right of way certifications. The industry has spoken and IRWA has risen to the challenge.
Over the next five years, IRWA is poised to design and release a bevy of new courses. To accomplish some fairly aggressive goals, we are streamlining our internal operations while increasing quality and consistency.
We will be implementing a new course production process that is built on an innovative three-member team approach. Each team will be comprised of two right of way subject matter experts and a contracted instructional designer. Subject matter experts—our IRWA members—will be invited to indicate their availability for developing courses during two cycles of development each year. In recognition for their commitment, time and service, they will receive an honorarium. An important addition to the course development team is the instructional designer. Hired for their learning and assessment expertise, they will be responsible for meeting project targets and creating an impactful, relevant, and memorable learning experience using content provided by right of way subject matter experts.
The Five-Year Plan is driven by the development of certificates in Pipeline, Transportation and Utilities. The Pipeline Certification is first on the list, and its production is slated to begin in year one of the plan. The certificate curriculum is currently being mapped to clear pathways that prescribe and align appropriate coursework and proficiency levels. These pathways will include enhanced versions of our current IRWA courses, as well as new courses that speak directly to industry needs. These newly-defined certificate pathways are designed to provide transition points of competency and robust right of way coursework that members and users of right of way services, employers and chapter leadership can utilize for career development and hiring practices.
This is an organization-wide transformation in practice that will strengthen IRWA as the central authority for the right of way profession. It also positions us as an essential partner to various public and private entities as we align current and future needs with relevant curriculum and learning resources, and meet the rising demand for domestic and international infrastructure development.
We will pilot this new three-member development process in year one with IRWA Course 604, Environmental Due Diligence and Liability. This particular course can be applied across multiple certifications, making it the ideal course for a pilot project. Our ability to re-purpose this course across all certificates will save both time and money, while maintaining high quality and increasing its industry relevance. Please stay tuned for your next opportunity to participate in the IRWA course development cycles.
Collectively, we are building capacity with strength, purpose, focus and resolve. This journey is leading us to achieve that ultimate destination and reward - a shared vision of building a better world together.
As IRWA's Vice President of Professional Development, She has expertise in education, training, human performance and collaborative social environments. Deidre holds a Master's Degree in Education, Multicultural Curriculum and Instruction from George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia and a Bachelor's Degree in International Service from the Catholic University of America in Washington, DC.

FAMILY MATINEES: LIYANA
Phumlani is one of several orphans in Swaziland creating an adventure story in Liyana
LIYANA (Aaron & Amanda Kopp, 2017)
Museum of the Moving Image, Bartos Screening Room
35th Ave. at 36th St., Astoria
Saturday, November 17, and Sunday, November 18, $15 ($9 ages three to seventeen), 11:00 am
www.movingimage.us
www.liyanathemovie.com
Liyana is a bittersweet, heart-tugging film about the power of storytelling and the depth of the human mind and heart. In 2003, husband-and-wife filmmakers Aaron and Amanda Kopp visited the rural Likhaya Lemphilo Lensha orphanage in their native country of Swaziland. Most of the children living there lost their parents to violence or the ongoing HIV/AIDS epidemic. A few years later, they asked South African actress, writer, and activist Gcina Mhlophe to come to the orphanage to work with the kids: Their project is for the kids to make up their own fairy tale. The boys and girls do not talk about princes and princesses, fancy balls and lush palaces. Instead, the group, primarily Phumlani, Nomcebo, Sibusiso, Mkhuleko, and Zweli, develops a tense and thrilling adventure about a young girl named Liyana who takes off with a prized bull to try to rescue her twin brothers who were captured by marauding thieves. "The kids that we are working with, they come from the very dark side of life. They've been hungry, they've been in so much pain and abused and suffering so early in life," Mhlophe explains. "They have those images playing over and over and over in their minds. Working with a fictional character allows a child to delve into places that you've covered and stored away. So many of these children's real-life experiences are going to end up on this fictional character."
Shofela Coker's stunning animation brings orphans' story to life in Liyana
As the kids continue describing the tale in impressive depth, the Kopps, who directed, produced, and photographed the film, show them working on the orphanage farm; going to a health clinic for checkups; wandering through the gorgeous landscape as if on their own adventure; and painting, drawing, and making collages about Liyana. Nigerian visual artist Shofela Coker, who serves as art director with Amanda Kopp, brings Liyana's story to life through compelling 3D animation that editors Davis Coombe and Aaron Kopp beautifully weave into the main narrative, which features a compelling score by South African composer Philip Miller, William Kentridge's longtime collaborator. What's happening in the animation often references what the children are doing and saying, forming a lovely, often subtle juxtaposition. The tale is a brutal one, as Liyana faces one frightening situation after another; the kids do not make it easy for her. But as the story goes on, you don't have to be a psychiatrist or child specialist to see how the fictional world they are creating relates to their own lives. When they say that Liyana must "overcome fear" and "hold on to hope," they are really talking about their own approach to daily existence. "It's more difficult to live your life than writing a story," one child notes, while another says, "In your own life maybe there is no hope but sometimes you need to keep pushing." These are remarkable statements coming from such young children; clearly, they have already experienced heartbreak and terror in their brief lives, although they also burst with bright smiles. One child gets right to the point: "I want my story to end well," he declares.
Children in Likhaya Lemphilo Lensha orphanage in Swaziland collaborate and connect in unique ways in Liyana
Executive produced by actress and activist Thandie Newton and winner of more than two dozen festival awards around the world, Liyana is a stunning achievement, a unique and powerful film about the human spirit even in the darkest of times. Mhlophe, who has written such books as The Snake with Seven Heads, Love Child, and Queen of the Tortoises and toured the world with her play Have You Seen Zandile?, does such a wonderful job with the kids, getting their creative juices flowing in such positive ways. It's a joy to watch her and the children come up with a genuinely exciting tale that just happens to be layered with such meaning in a country where 25% of the adults have HIV/AIDS and there are 200,000 orphans. Liyana is screening at the Museum of the Moving Image on November 17 and 18 at 11:00 in the morning as part of the "Family Matinees" series. Don't miss this genuine treasure of a film.

Brazil's fisheries support millions, but are far from sustainable
By Amy McDermott
Hardship and hope blend in Brazil's fisheries.
Photo Credit: Bento Viana
What is a fish worth? Here, a shopper opens his wallet in Brazil's northeastern state of Ceará. Species like Atlantic mackerel and yellowtail snapper line the sand, for sale.
It's an informal scene – but a crucial one. More than 3 million people depend on fisheries in Brazil. Yet, the government has taken a worryingly lax approach to fisheries management. It collected almost no data on commercial catch in the last decade. The stock status of species like the mackerel and snapper above remains unknown.
"We have huge challenges for fisheries management in Brazil," said oceanographer Ademilson Zamboni, Vice President of Oceana Brazil. "The government has a poor database and weak inspection." Fisheries sectors already voluntarily disclose information, he said, "because they know that without data, we can't manage fisheries."
Oceana Brazil has urged the government to monitor its fisheries since 2014. In 2018, for the first time, the country adopted digital logbooks and quotas to track and limit the catch of tainha – or mullet – a popular food species that fell into decline in recent years. It is the first official monitoring effort in recent years and could point the way ahead for the country.
"Quotas help protect marine life and strengthen the network of information and solidarity between fishers and managers," Zamboni said. And monitoring mullet sets an example for other fisheries, he said. "It's a huge victory!"


If you have any tips or techniques that you would like to contribute, or questions that you would like answered, please drop us a note and we may include them here.
After the body of the quilt has been pieced, gently press before adding borders. The logical place to measure the finished top is along its outside edges, and this is a useful measurement. However, measurements should be taken across the center in two or three places for both the width and length. If these measurements are different from that of the outer edge, accidental stretching has occured. To keep the finished quilt as straight and square as possible, you must measure the centers.
Determine the length of the quilt border by averaging the distance of two or three center measurements (Fig. 1). Cut two borders that length and pin them to opposide sides of the quilt matching ends and centers, and easing in the fullness. Sew and press.
Determine the width of the quilt border by averaging the distance of two or three center measurements (Fig. 2). Cut these borders that length and pin - easing in the fullness. Sew and press.
Lisa received a question recently about scalloped borders. This technique works on any irregular borders.
"I am creating a larger quilt using a scalloped edge baby quilt in the center. I want to attach a normal flat edge strip to the scallop so that the center is still scalloped but the rest of the quilt will be square. How can I do this, or can you suggest a site that will show me how. I am stumped. I appreciate your help. Also, the quilt with the hummingbirds that you show on this site....did you create the pattern or is the pattern available? Loved it!" - Catrina C.
Many years ago I made a Grandmother's Flower Garden (hexagons), and I wanted a straight edge, too. Since I had a plain quilt top, I first had to iron under all of the raw edges. Then I cut wide strips of border fabric and placed them under the quilt top leaving about 5-6" for the border, pinned every 2" or so, and used a hem stitch on the sewing machine to sew the quilt top to the border strips.
Since your project includes more thickness, you might use a wider zig-zag--it's hard for me to tell exactly what will work best without seeing it.
Finally, I turned the quilt over and trimmed away the extra fabric under the pieced quilt. Using this method, you would need to use a very thin batting under the baby quilt part so that it doesn't get too bulky to quilt.
As for the hummingbird quilt, I believe that a pattern was made for it, but I am not sure who carries it. I think that C&T also put out note cards with that quilt on them.
Lisa recommends using only bias binding. She has developed the following chart as a guide for estimating the size of the square needed to be cut to make enough binding.
Lisa has tried many techniques over the years, and has recommended Liz Porter's unique Lumpless Finish for some time now. However, she will soon be posting a new method when she has refined the instructions.
FABRIC REQUIRED: 2 yards of main fabric for the front 2 yards of coordinating fabric for the back, 5/8 yard main fabric for front and back of pocket, 2 yards batting for body of quillow, and 5/8 yard batting for the pocket.
Lay the pocket batting on table with pocket fabric right sides together on top of batting. Pin on all four sides. Sew both sides and bottom of pocket, leaving the top open. Trim to 1/4" and turn right side out. Press the edges. Quilt the pocket by machine. Use circles, squares, diamonds, or other appropriate shape.
Lay the batting on table (or floor) and put the backing fabric on it, right side up. Take the pocket and center it at the top of the quillow with the back of the pocket facing up. Pin pocket to backing and batting. Then lay the main fabric right side down, and pin across the top. Pin down the sides and across bottom. Use two pins together to mark the stopping and starting points, leaving an opening about 14" long for turning. Stitch around the quillow, leaving the opening in the side.
Turn quillow right side out by bringing corners through the opening. Remove pins from top of pocket. Press the edges of the quillow, and pin the opening shut. Hand stitch the opening shut.
Lay quillow on table with backing fabric face up. Pin the pocket in place down the sides. Stitch the pocket in place, reinforcing at top and bottom.
The Quillow can then be quilted or tied. Machine quilting holds up best, and can either be done on a standard machine, or Lisa can finish them for you.
If you want to use your own sewing machine to finish your quillow, use a walking foot (even feed foot), and mark a straight line from the bottom edge of the pocket down to about 12" from the bottom of the quillow.
Mark a parallel line from the other side of the pocket, and join the two lines with a straight line. (Chalk and a yardstick workwell, but if the chalk doesn't show up on the fabric, use a quilters' marking pencil, lightly). Stitch carefully down, across and up, taking care to keep the back smooth, without tucks.
If you are tying the quillow, use perle cotton or embroidery floss. Start 9" from the bottom and mark the center. Then mark 8" to the right and left, and another 8" to the right and left, making five ties across the quillow. Measure up 8" from this line and make five more ties as before. Continue till you are at the pocket line (usually six rows). A yardstick is very useful for this process. Quillows can be shortened to 1-1/2 yards, but do not diminish the size of the pocket.
Printed panels can be used for the pocket, but borders must be added to result in the correct size.
Turn pocket right side out; quillow will be folded in thirds lengthwise. Fold up from the bottom about 18", then fold it again. Fold one more time, stuffing the folded quilt into the pocket. Smooth out the corners.

Eric Young (born 25 March 1960) is a former Wales international  footballer who played as a defender.

As a player he notably played for Wimbledon and was part of the clubs victorious FA Cup winning team in 1988, he later went on to play in the Premier League with Crystal Palace and has also featured in the Football League for Brighton & Hove Albion and Wolverhampton Wanderers. He gained 21 international caps for Wales. He was a strong, commanding centre-half, nicknamed "Ninja" due to his ever-present brown headband, which he wore during matches to protect scar tissue on his forehead. He finished his career in Non-league football with Enfield and Egham Town

Club career
Young started his career at non-league Southall and then moved to Slough Town where his commanding style was noticed by a number of league clubs; he played for Slough for three seasons. Young was eventually signed by Brighton & Hove Albion in 1982. During the period in non-league football Young continued with his accountancy training. He made his Football League debut in the first match of the 1982–83 season and went on to make 126 league appearances for the club, scoring 10 goals before transferring to Wimbledon for £70,000 on the eve of the 1987–88 season.

He became a fan favourite at Wimbledon and formed a formidable central defensive partnership with Andy Thorn, playing in the club's famous victory over Liverpool in the 1988 FA Cup Final. After 99 league appearances and 9 goals for Wimbledon, in 1990 he was sold to Crystal Palace for £850,000 (at the time a huge transfer fee for a 30-year-old). At Palace he continued his consistently reliable form, and the club had already signed Thorn in 1989 which meant the resumption of their defensive partnership that had proved so successful at Wimbledon. Young was a mainstay in the team that finished third in the old first division (now the Premier League) and kept his place in the side until a  falling out with manager Alan Smith at the beginning of the 1994–95 season saw him dropped until the final five matches of that campaign.

After 161 league appearances and 15 goals for Palace, he then joined Wolverhampton Wanderers on a free transfer. He spent two seasons at Wolves before completing his professional career, briefly returning to Palace in 1997 without playing a senior game, but then continued to play non-league football for another four seasons whilst also qualifying as a chartered accountant, before finally hanging up his boots at the age of 41 at Egham Town.

International career
As a British citizen who was born abroad –  in Singapore – FIFA eligibility rules at the time of Young's first international selection entitled him to represent any of the constituent countries of the United Kingdom at international level. He opted for Wales, despite having no specific family connection to that country.

He made his international début for Wales, aged 30, versus Costa Rica in a friendly game at Ninian Park in 1990, alongside fellow débutantes Gary Speed and Paul Bodin. Despite his comparatively late start, Young won a total of 21 caps for Wales.

Personal life
He is now working as an accountant in a construction based company in Heathrow.

Turkish Op in Afrin is Part of Ankara's Strategy to Support Terrorists - Assad
© AP Photo / Hassan Ammar
According to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, Turkish offensive in Afrin is part of Ankara's strategy based on supporting terrorists.
"Turkey's brutal attack against the Syrian city of Afrin is inseparable from Turkey policy, that was pursued by the Turkish regime since the first day of the Syrian crisis and which is based for the most part on supporting terrorism and terrorist groups under different names," Assad was quoted as saying by the SANA news agency.
The statement of the Syrian leader comes in wake of reports, saying that Turkish tanks entered Syrian Afrin, backing the offensive of the Free Syrian Army (FSA) armed opposition group on the positions of Kurdish militia.

Reports emerged a day after the Turkish General Staff had declared the launch of the operation dubbed Olive Branch against the Kurdish forces in Afrin. The operation started at 14:00 GMT and over 70 Turkish warplanes conducted airstrikes in seven districts of Afrin, where 108 targets out of 113 were destroyed. The military operation has already been condemned by Damascus with the Syrian Foreign Ministry calling the act a violation of Syrian sovereignty.

Q: Does natural unit of information and entropy, nat, play special role in the freebit picture? Please refer this question to understand why I consider the freebit picture important.
In short, it is conjectured, that for certain real systems the most complete physical description possible involves Knightian uncertainty so that some qubits in nature actually "freebits".
So I decided to calculate entropy of a system that involves Knightian uncertainty.
Lets define c-freebit (classical freebit) as a two-level system whose Knightian uncertainty is maximal.
We know that entropy of a two-level system depends on the probabilities of the respective levels, if the probability of the state 0 is $p_0= x$, then the entropy (in natural units) is:
$$S= -\sum_{i=0}^1 p_i \ln p_i = -x \ln x - (1 - x) \ln (1 - x)$$
So if $x=1/2$ then $S=\ln 2$ nat, equal to 1 bit.
But when we introduce the Knigtian uncertainty $x\in[a,b]$, the total entropy becomes
$$S=\int_a^b \frac{-(1-x) \ln (1-x)-x \ln (x)}{b-a} \, dx$$
For the maximum case, $a=0$, $b=1$ we get $S=\frac12$ nat.
This is remarkable, because we got a rational fraction of natural units of information! The nat, which plays no role in probablistic description of anything suddenly appears in the evidential description of the Dempster–Shafer formalism!
We obtained that a c-freebit contains 1/2 nat of information!
Given this result I wonder whether something similar happens in quantum world. Can anybody please provide the calculation for entropy of a quantum freebit?


Laguna is a village south of Wollombi, New South Wales. It is serviced by a general store and has a public school.
The establishment, development and significance of the village of Laguna was directly connected with the construction and importance of the Great North Road in the early 19th century. A large land grant of 1,000 acres (405 ha) was allocated to Heneage Finch, where he built Laguna House. He sold the property to Richard Wiseman.
