Students in grades 6-8 attend one of two middle schools. These schools are designed to help students make the transition from self-contained classrooms in elementary schools to the choices they will be making in high school.
Students at each grade level are divided into teams. Each team works with four teachers in the core subjects of math, science, social studies and language arts. In addition, these teachers' classrooms are all located next to each other, as well as the lockers for the students on each team. Students have exploratory blocks, which contain classes such as technology, foreign language, physical education, art and music. Middle school students also have the opportunity to participate in orchestra, band, choir, sports, extracurricular activities, school clubs and organizations.
Both schools are identical in physical design. The buildings are divided into wings - one for each grade level.

The market is flooded with cosmetic products, many of them containing low-quality ingredients or ingredients providing no actual benefits. When removing eye makeup, the Eye Eclipse is designed to shield the delicate under eye skin from excessive rubbing, which can cause premature wrinkling or puffiness. Stay younger looking even longer by combining your nighttime beauty regimen with an affordable makeup remover that provides valuable benefits without adding scents, coloring agents or other artificial chemicals.
Many of you may currently be opting for an oil-free makeup remover off the shelf, and that's likely because of a few common misconceptions about oil or because you've found the oil used in your old makeup remover to be of low quality.
Although oil is oily, it does not always lead to an oily complexion. If you've ever used a soap with detergents or an alcohol-based product on your skin, you know that while at first, your skin appears oil-free, the shine quickly reappears with a vengeance. That's because your skin requires a moisture barrier. Without it, your skin's oil production goes into overdrive, and continuing to tackle this problem with soaps or alcohol will inevitably result in irritation, breakouts and splotchy dry patches.
A bioavailable oil that absorbs quickly without clogging pores delivers nourishing ingredients and valuable moisture to bring balance to the skin.
Not all oils will be suited for skin care. Some oils are comedogenic, which is just a nice way to say "pore clogging." While a small percentage of skin care addicts won't have any adverse reaction to comedogenic products, most of us develop whiteheads or pimples.
Comedogenic oils are identified on a scale ranging from one to five. A "one" rating indicates a very low incidence of pore clogging potential. A "five" rating almost always guarantees a breakout.
With so many oils on the market, it can be difficult to choose. We recommend choosing an oil that's non-comedogenic, first and foremost, to reduce any chance of adverse reactions. Below, we've compiled a short list of popular oils by their comedogenic ratings. Some may surprise you; for example, many folks believe that coconut oil is an ideal beauty product. In fact, coconut oil has one of the highest pore-clogging potentials.
That doesn't mean that coconut oil or other oils on this list don't provide plenty of other benefits, for example, in hair care or as treatments for scarring or eczema.
Oils with a "two" rating may or may not clog pores.
Oils with a "three" rating will almost definitely clog pores, especially for people with normal to sensitive skin.
Oils with a "four" rating will clog pores in the majority of folks.
Oils with a "five" rating shouldn't be used on skin.
When creating your own makeup remover, choosing an oil with a low comedogenic rating will ensure beautiful skin without the chance of breakouts. Below is a list of our favorite non-comedogenic oils and their unique benefits.
Argan oil is widely used in a variety of personal care products, from hair care to lotions. It's often marketed as "Moroccan" or "purely Moroccan", because this is where the argan tree grows. However, it's important to note that not all "Moroccan argan oils" are actually the real deal.
This coveted product is sometimes reproduced and marketed as pure, but a quick glance at its ingredients might prove otherwise. Avoid argan oils that contain fragrances, preservatives or water as these dilute your product and can cause adverse reactions. Similarly, make note of how your argan oil is packaged. Unless it's contained in a glass amber bottle, you're getting something that's either fake or has been compromised by ultraviolet rays or plastic components.
Real argan oil is definitely worth the price, which can be quite steep. It contains vitamin E, phenol compounds, carotenes and fatty acids. The phenol compounds contained in argan oil provide the same kinds of powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory results as green tea and red wine. Argan oil is hydrating, soothing and healing.
Genuine argan oil smells a little nutty.
Hemp oil is created by compressing the seeds of the hemp plant, a variety of cannabis. Hemp is a highly valuable resource because it grows quickly and can be used in such a wide range of applications, from building materials to food.
Hemp seeds contain fatty acids omega-3 (alpha-linoleic) and -6 (linoleic) as well as Vitamin E. Alpha-linoleic acids soothe skin while linoleic acids hydrate and plump skin.
Genuine cold-pressed and unrefined hemp seed smells a little nutty or grassy.
Shea butter comes from the nuts of the shea tree. Most commonly, shea butter is confused with kpangnan butter or African butter, which is a mustard yellow color compared to the faint ivory color of shea. Both of these products, when minimally refined, provide a wide range of vitamins and fatty acids that soothe, hydrate and balance skin. Fatty acids act as emollients (they keep moisture in), but don't clog pores. Vitamin A in shea butter are thought to increase cell turnover and activate collagen production. Vitamin E is soothing, hydrating and anti-inflammatory, as well as having antioxidant qualities.
Shea butter and African butter have a very mild scent.
Sunflower oil contains a high concentration of plant sterols, which are natural compounds that provide a variety of health benefits when eaten, and are thought to strengthen and protect the skin from the outside.
In addition, sunflower oil delivers a powerful dose of vitamin E and squalene. Squalene has a complicated role in biochemistry, but on skin it is simply a an effective emollient with antioxidant properties.
Sunflower oil has no scent.
Safflower oil is very similar to sunflower oil and provides the same cosmetic advantaegs. Safflower oil is full of linoleic acid which acts as an emollient as well as a healing compound.
Like sunflower oil, safflower oil does not have a scent.
Some people will have a natural aversion to castor oil because they'll always associate it with its taste. Castor oil was and is an effective, albeit, nasty way to relieve constipation, and we wouldn't wish having to swallow the stuff upon anyone.
However, we recommend this oil for skin because it consists mostly of fatty acids called triglycerides. These fats are incredibly emollient (help skin keep moisture) and provide a wonderfully soothing and replenishing feel.
In addition, castor oil contains ricin-oleic acid - another type of fatty acid, which provides anti-inflammatory effects.
Surprisingly, castor oil is completely odorless.
Emu oil is not a vegan or vegetarian option as it is derived from the fat tissues of emus. When minimally refined, it contains omega 3, 6 and 9 fatty acids for plumping, hydrating and anti-inflammatory effects.
The oil of the neem tree has been touted for its health benefits for centuries. Neem oil is used to treat inflammatory skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis, and is an excellent treatment for inflammation and fine scarring. When added to your pet's bathing routine, it can help to manage fleas, ticks and other parasites. The main components of neem oil are triglycerides, linoleic acid, alpha-linoleic acid and oleic acid (omega 3, 6 and 9).
Although the benefits of neem are well understood, we recommend using extreme caution when applying this product. Pure neem oil has a potent smell that combines peanuts with garlic spice.
Rosehip oil is found in the seeds in wild rose bushes and contains a high concentration of omega-3, -6 and -9. It acts as an emollient to trap moisture without clogging pores and delivers a wide range of benefits including antioxidants and anti-inflammatories. Rosehip oil has historically been used to reduce signs of aging and scarring, and will absorb quickly without leaving a residue.
This oil is not extracted from rose petals and doesn't have a flowery scent. This oil's odor is mild, similar to olive.
Once you've found the oil of your choice, creating a natural at-home makeup remover can be as quick and easy as combining oil and water on a disposable paper or reusable cotton cloth.
You may choose to add additional natural ingredients such as essential oils of carrot seed, neroli or rose.
Ensure that when using essential oils, you follow the recommended dilution formula. Dilute essential oils in water, oil or both – then apply the finished solution to your cloth.
Never use tea tree, peppermint, eucalyptus, menthol, clove or wintergreen oils on or around eyes.
Never use essential oils undiluted.

South Florida officials put drivers on notice. Put down the phone, stop texting or get pulled over.
By Skyler Swisher
Jul 01, 2019 | 2:20 PM
The memorial site on the south side Palmetto Park Road in West Boca where four girls and one boy were killed in a car crash on Feb. 23, 1996. State Rep. Emily Slosberg, whose twin died in the crash, her father and former State Rep. Irv Slosberg, state representatives, community leaders and residents came together Monday at the memorial site to honor the memories of those killed by distracted drivers and celebrate the new texting while driving law that makes it an primary offense. (Taimy Alvarez / South Florida Sun Sentinel)
Supporters of Florida's new texting law waited years to deliver a message Monday — put down the phone or get pulled over.
Police can now stop drivers just for texting under a new state law that took effect July 1, and officers are already looking for violators, said John Leonard, a captain with the Coconut Creek Police Department.
"This is long overdue," Leonard said. "This is going to be taken extremely seriously. This is a life safety issue."
100 new Florida laws go into effect Monday »
First-time violations will result in a $30 fine, and subsequent violations will carry a $60 fine. Court fees will be levied, and points will be added to licenses for repeat offenses. The Florida Highway Patrol and other law enforcement agencies are planning to issue warning tickets through the end of the year as part of an educational campaign.
Advocates marked the law taking effect Monday at a memorial in West Boca where five teenagers were killed in a 1996 crash caused by a reckless driver. State Rep. Emily Slosberg, D-Boca Raton, was injured in the wreck, and her twin sister, Dori, was killed.
The tragedy prompted Slosberg , now 37, and her father, former state Rep. Irv Slosberg, to push for the law. It took years of trying to get the law passed amid concerns from lawmakers that it could result in more racial profiling and violations of civil liberties.
"It's what we do after a tragedy that determines whether it remains just a tragedy. ... We've passed legislation that will save lives," Emily Slosberg said.
Mrs. Florida Delpha Samuels, right, of Hallandale, whose brother E'Arron Haley was killed by a driver texting and driving in 2008, thanks Florida Rep. Emily Slosberg for the hard work she and her family did to pass the law making texting and driving a primary offense Monday in Boca Raton. "It's bittersweet," said Samuels. "Finally after all these years we have justice." Tomorrow is the anniversary of Samuels' brother's passing on July 2, 2008. (Taimy Alvarez / South Florida Sun Sentinel)
Advocates made repeated trips to Tallahassee to keep the issue at the forefront. Debbie Wanninkhof's son, Patrick, was struck and killed in 2015 during a charity bike ride in Oklahoma by a driver on a cellphone. His biking companion suffered serious injuries but survived.
Wanninkhof, a Key Biscayne resident, shared her son's story in hopes that a law could be passed to prevent similar tragedies.
"Today is a victory for Patrick," she said.
Mark Merwitzer, 19, a student from Miami, penned letters and spoke at meetings in Tallahassee. He worried how his generation would be affected by a texting epidemic that he said had turned "driving in Miami into a contact sport."
The new law is only a start, he said.
"The legislative battle is only half the battle," Merwitzer said. "What we really need is enforcement."
Under the previous law, drivers could only be cited for texting if they were committing another driving offense, such as speeding or running a stop light.
Will race matter when cops ticket for texting and driving? We looked at seat belt citations to find out. »
The new law does not apply to drivers using a navigation device or if their car is stopped. Officers also cannot look at a driver's phone without a warrant.
Starting Oct. 1, phones must be used in hands-free mode in school and construction zones. Karen Brill, a Palm Beach County School Board member, said officials will be cracking down on parents who are distracted with their phones when picking up children from school.
The new law requires warning tickets be issued for these violations through Jan. 1.

Democrats complain of Trump 'ballot bias' in 2020 election
Florida was among a handful of states that didn't make texting while driving a primary offense, leaving South Dakota, Ohio, and Nebraska as the only states that have texting while driving a secondary offense. Missouri bans texting for drivers younger than 21. Montana has no ban on texting while driving.
Slosberg said her work isn't done on the issue. She plans to push for a stronger law next year that would make hands-free use mandatory on all roadways. That measure passed the Florida Senate in 2019, but it didn't succeed in the House.

CoxHealth now charges in-network rates for most Aetna insurance customers.
CoxHealth signed a new deal to accept patients with Aetna Inc. (NYSE: AET) insurance plans.
Starting Sept. 1, most customers with Aetna insurance will have health care services at CoxHealth priced at in-network rates, according to a news release.
The two companies in January started Aetna CoxHealth Preferred, providing insurance coverage to Springfield-area businesses with 100 or more workers in Greene, Christian, Stone, Taney, Barry, Lawrence and Webster counties, according to past Springfield Business Journal reporting.
Aetna CoxHealth Preferred was slated to open to employers with 100 or less employees this summer.
CoxHealth and Aetna also reached a deal to launch a preferred provider organization and an open-access product.
Mercy in January started an exclusive provider organization, Anthem Alliance EPO, with Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield in Missouri. Mercy also works with Aetna.

Not to mention the 6,500 plus media people to cover the event. Major keynotes came from Intel, LG, Samsung, Sony, and others while the new exciting tech was introduced. The 2019 International CES took place at LA on the 8th of January and ended on the 11th.
2019 CES had its 'wow' moments. Here we will list some of the top takeaways from the event ranging from products to upcoming trends and innovations.
1: 8K

After 8K was hyped in the last two CES events, it has finally become a reality. Samsung seems to be leading the trend with 8K sets already introduced in the market. Models from LG< Sharp, Sony and TCL will also be joining the market soon. Additional brands showing 8K models include Changhong, Hisense, Huawei, Konka, and Skyworth etc. One thing to note is that the human eye cannot detect any difference in resolutions higher than 4K. However, we need this because screens are getting bigger with the average in 2009 is 36 inches and now in 2019, 48 inches.
2: Wi-Fi 6
Archer AX11000 tri-band gaming router
Wi-Fi 6 is the name for Wi-Fi 802.11ax which is set to be the new wireless standard replacing the current 802.11ac. Each new Wi-Fi standard adds additional frequency bands, higher throughput capability, and increased accuracy. It is said to give quadrupled speeds, up to around 4.8 Gbit/s. It will also facilitate simultaneous connections of multiple devices with increased range. Many of the major wireless access point suppliers are waiting with Wi-Fi 6 in gear and it should be available soon.
3: HDMI 2.1
HDMI 2.1 is a new standard compared to HDMI 2.0. It is a collection of features and capabilities which allow source devices (game consoles, streamers etc.) to send audio and video to TVs. It is said to handle 4K resolution at frame rates up to 60 per second and some varieties of 8K and won't even require new HDMI cables. Major companies such as LG, Sony and Samsung confirmed that their new 8K TVs will have HDMI 2.1 which will be capable of 48 Gigabyte/s for the highest bandwidth forms of 8K. There are also more features such as higher refresh rates, variable refresh rates (VRR), auto low latency mode (ALLM) etc. All to help give gamers the best experience they can get.
4: 5G
With every generation of mobile networks, the main focus has been connecting people, but 5G will not be limited to connecting people but also connecting things. 5G promises to give greater speed, capacity, lower latency. "5G will change everything, 5G is the promise of so much more than what we have seen from wireless technology," said Hans Vestberg, CEO of Verizon, during his keynote. 5G is first said to be introduced at the Mobile World Congress in late February.
5: Samsung's Bot Care robots
Health tech was huge at the CES 2019. While Samsung started off its CES 2019 conference with its virtual assistant, Bixby, it ended by the introduction of four new robotics initiatives. One of them included Bot Care, a personal health assistant. Samsung gave a live demonstration on some of the health monitoring tasks it can handle. The robot is almost nurse-like, managing the patients' health routine, sleep, measuring blood pressure, heart rate etc. and sending information to the doctor or storing it in the cloud through Samsung Health.
6: LG Signature OLED TV R
The Signature OLED TV R from LG sure caught the eye of attendees. It is a 65-inch 4L HDR OLED TV that can roll up inside a custom speaker cabinet when required. The cabinet itself contains a 5.1 speaker system while it allows for three different aspect ratios. Full View, which you can use to see the full extent of the LG TV, Live View which shows a thin portion of information such as weather and time, and Zero View which keeps you TV completely hidden from sight. You can also get support from Amazon Alexa, HomeKit and Apple Airplay 2.
7: Electric Flying Taxi
Bell delivers helicopters with conventional engines designed for pilots. The Bell Nexus prototype, a hybrid-electric aircraft we saw at CES 2019 is rumored to be released by 2023. Built on the company's latest VTOL tech, and using six 2.5 metre, 8-boot articulated ducted fans that can rotate 90 degrees, a hybrid electric power system, and having the capacity to carry four passengers. It can cover a distance of 240 km in an hour. It can cover a 150 mile radius as is more quiet and efficient than conventional helicopters. Uber worked in collaboration with Bell to build this prototype. Uber also believes that it will prove to be "an affordable form of daily transportation for the masses", with costs comparable to its car ride-sharing rates.
8: Asus ZenBook S13
People are calling CES 2019 the 'battle of the bezels' with companies from all over the globe arriving with their latest laptops. One laptop that we felt stood out was the Asus ZenBook S13. The laptop holds a 97% screen-to-body ratio, and an incredibly slim bezel, so thin it would be right to say the 'World's Slimmest Bezels'. The Asus also added an inverted notch to fit the webcam which isn't noticeable since you'll probably be too busy gawking at the display. The ZenBook S13 weighs just 1.13kg and has a 13.9-inch full-HD LED display, fitted with the latest Intel hardware and a 15 hours endurance battery. It is set to be released by 2019. As of now, there are no specifications of its price.
9: Resilient technologies
We can't bear to leave out what Steve Koenig calls 'resilient technologies'. This is one of the new conference programs added to this year of CES 2019. This program and exhibit area focus on Resilient technologies. After the release of Smart Cities at the 2018 CES, now the focus is keeping the cities safe. Not just from a natural disaster but to provide food, power, security and health. We saw many products on the show floor, but Koenig particularly liked Watergun, a CES 2019 Best of Innovation Award winner, that creates water from air. Now being called 'Zero Mass Water', it operates by using specialized hydropanels which extracts moisture from the air using solar power.
Then the hygroscopic material inside the hydropanels attracts the water molecules and condenses them to produce pure distilled water. The system adds Mg and Ca to the water and then delivers it to your tap, a total of 8-20 bottles of water per day. The bigger picture here is to provide clean, safe drinking water to a world where 840 million people do not have access to clean drinking water.

The 13 Big Data Trends Industry Pros Are Watching
Written by Built In Staff
While big data has long been harnessed by leaders across virtually every industry to make key business decisions, today, the field is a proven and established subset of tech. With an ever-growing list of professions and use-cases surrounding big data, trends have emerged in how that data is collected, organized and used.
Obviously, developments in big data mean different things to different companies. We spoke to data pros at 11 tech companies to learn more about the big data trends they're keeping up with and how they're impacting business operations.
Social Determinants & Intuition
Trusting one's gut is a practice that can lead to success in many professions. But data science is not typically seen as one of them, since trusting numbers is generally considered safer than trusting instincts. However, Data Science Manager David Thompson at Pareto Intelligence said that sentiment is changing. The leader at the healthtech company said intuition plays an increasingly large role in how industry pros work with big data.
What are the top big data trends you're watching that are significantly impacting the industry?
Lately, and rightfully so, there has been a significant focus on social determinants of health — the conditions in which people are born, grow up, live, work and age that impact health status. Healthcare has been slow to arrive here, but trends are showing that nearly everyone in the industry is agreeing that there are benefits to considering everything about a person when assessing overall health and developing strategies for improving health. There is already an overwhelming volume of health-related data about each person, and SDOH adds even more layers to that.
"As we continue to nearly drown in messy and erroneous data, I believe intuition will begin to play an even larger role in analytics."
What under-the-radar big data trends are you watching that the industry isn't talking about?
I have been watching the re-emergence of intuition in developing analytic strategies. While originally an enemy of data science, intuition seems to be acting more like an ally. Data scientists and analysts that have been working with big data for a while seem to have developed a recalibrated intuition that is rooted in deep experience with the data rather than general experience within the industry only. And as we continue to nearly drown in messy and erroneous data, I believe intuition will begin to play an even larger role in analytics.
How are these trends affecting the future of your company?
I believe these trends mean two things for Pareto Intelligence, and both are related to talent and human capital.
Weaving in SDOH data means we need more hands on deck. Additionally, we need to develop deep experience. If we are going to acknowledge the quiet undercurrent of intuition and leverage the benefits it can bring, we have to foster a culture that makes a long-term commitment to the company and the industry an easy and attractive decision for our data scientists and analysts. We are doing that every day through the benefits we offer, the community we cultivate, values we commit to, and so on.
Kubernetes & Simplifying Workflows
When you're working with datasets so complex they can predict and analyze consumer behaviors and even emotions while they're online, simplifying workflows can go a long way for increasing productivity. Machine Learning Engineer Drew Boshardy told us about some tech tools that were put in place at marketing tech company Networked Insights to do just that.
I'm closely following the ongoing development of Kubernetes and its related technologies such as Skaffold, Kubeflow and Helm. It may seem like overkill for some use cases, and it likely is for many basic applications, but for a moderately to very complex system, it really helps keep everything running and easy to deploy to. Similarly, orchestration technologies such as Airflow are going to be very big going forward to help simplify more complicated and essential workflows, making them easier to maintain and diagnose.
"Orchestration technologies such as Airflow are going to be very big going forward to help simplify more complicated and essential workflows."
I think it's being talked about a lot in the sphere of Google Cloud Platform-based companies, but Apache Beam is a real lifesaver for big data jobs. Both persistent and ephemeral self-managed Hadoop clusters still seem to be very common and, in many cases, unwieldy.
We are currently using Google's hosted Kubernetes solution Cloud Container Engine for our core infrastructure and other products. Our data infrastructure for our new DaaS product is running on Airflow and Apache Beam in the Google Cloud Dataflow to keep data up to date and reliable. We have the flexibility necessary to work with our many data partners, as well as the confidence that we can handle any irregularities or downtime easily and quickly thanks to Airflow.
What good is having all the data in the world if you can't make good use of it when you need it? GreenKey Technologies provides entities in the OTC capital markets field data based on their audio and text communications. Chief Data Scientist Tejas Shastry said front-office staff at client companies could use quick, on-demand access to their comms data without tapping a data scientist for help. So, Shastry sees digital assistants as the next big wave in big data.
We use natural language processing to help financial firms structure and search their millions of voice and chat conversations for insights. Over the last year, the biggest shift we've seen is a rise in the need to query big data in the front office. Instead of using data scientists and business intelligence analysts to scour their data, firms want chat-bot interfaces so their front-office workers can get insights from their data directly as they're doing their jobs. We think this trend will continue, with digital assistant use growing across many industries to help surface specific insights from internal data lakes.
"Instead of using data scientists and business intelligence analysts to scour their data, firms want chat-bot interfaces."
The implementation of the data protection and privacy regulations under the General Data Protection Regulation in Europe have changed the way many of our clients think about leveraging their data. With tight regulations, we see firms increasingly requiring solutions that can be deployed on-premise or in a private cloud and co-located with privacy-sensitive data. This means technology companies will be increasingly offering solutions that don't rely on a public cloud, and similarly, companies with GDPR-related data will need to embrace cloud-standard deployment models like Kubernetes in their own environments.
Being cognizant of these trends has helped us deliver better products to our clients faster. We've adapted our NLP that initially focused on voice conversations to process chat as well, and doubled-down on our on-premise and private-cloud deployment models. As we move forward, we will continue to think of ways we can better expose big data directly to front-office workers without firms needing to build their own machine learning models or hire their own data scientists. We think both of these trends point to companies wanting out-of-the-box, on-premise solutions to make sense of their data.
Scaleable Open Source Data Warehouse Modeling
As big data tools like AI and machine learning grow more complex, Chewy's VP of Software Engineering Karthikeyan Janakiraman wants processes to stay simple for his team. The leader at the pet supply e-commerce company said he hopes evolutions in big data tech will allow his engineers to work more efficiently with fewer hassles.
We're seeing impactful changes when it comes to data management and use cases emerging from relating disparate systems. Machine learning and AI are now the primary drivers of data consumption across users. We're seeing the availability of tools that account for relational and dimensional modeling, transactional integrity and data governance in a way that's easy to use. We're also seeing companies in this space start to consider the user experience and help companies tap into the benefits of the cloud.
But the biggest shift has been moving to a scalable, open-source data warehouse model using public cloud. We appreciate when our tools offer solutions to the friction points of elasticity, scalability, cost efficiency and agility.
"We want to work with tools and software that make life easier, not more complicated."
The tensions we feel are probably similar to the ones felt throughout the industry. What we look for, and what we appreciate, is when our service providers adopt the same attention to customer service that we would take in our own business. We've seen some of our vendors and service providers take that approach and we hope to see more of it.
We're really excited about the ability of big data to help us keep delivering on our mission as a company. The best tools and services emerging in this space are the ones that create a more seamless work environment for our employees. We hope that the industry continues to evolve in a way that makes the work of our engineers less time-consuming. We want to work with tools and software that make life easier, not more complicated. We want to make sure that we're organizing our teams in a way that allows every member to work on projects that directly impact the customer experience. In order to do that, we have to find simpler ways to explore the data and build on our findings faster.
Good decisions are at the heart of any business' success. And SessionM's Head of Data Science and Engineering Amelio Vázquez-Reina said companies can make even better decisions in the future with techniques like reinforced learning. As the next wave of big data trends continues to unfold, the company plans to take advantage of evolving practices by applying them to their marketing services.
Delta data-lakes for extract, transform and load operations; automated machine learning; data governance and the advent of graph databases.
"Many important industry areas like robotics could benefit from AIs that can be efficiently trained in simulated environments."
One is off-line and off-policy reinforcement learning. Most companies are sitting on vast volumes of user data that they didn't gather through active experimentation or by executing a well-defined policy. This data has enormous potential for optimization, but doing this well is hard.
High-dimensional Bayesian optimization is another trend. Most companies and systems need to optimize choices and decisions in the face of uncertainty. Doing this well and efficiently is still a challenging problem.
A third trend is transferring the learning of agents trained in efficient physics environments and engines to other spaces. Many important industry areas like robotics could benefit from AIs that can be efficiently trained in simulated environments, and later transferred to and calibrated on real-world scenarios.
Reinforced learning and the Markov decision processes have the potential to power decisions most companies and software systems face. However, leveraging them adequately and safely in a complex system can be hard. At SessionM, we have identified many product opportunities for next-best-action marketing that would immensely benefit from thoughtful reinforced learning, and we are working hard to bring these products to market.
Data Privacy & Need for New Skillsets
With the introduction of new industry trends comes the need for skilled professionals well-versed in the latest technologies. Data Applications Engineer Olivia Ondeck at video advertising platform SpotX said companies are placing a greater emphasis on cybersecurity and data engineering skills as data privacy becomes top-of-mind across industries.
With the introduction of the General Data Protection Regulation in Europe and big data breaches, data privacy concerns are extremely widespread and awareness is only going to increase. Companies have to be more careful now and therefore, the demand for cybersecurity skills is higher than ever. There is also a rising demand for data engineering skills, not just data science and data analysis. As data becomes more of a currency, physical space and hardware requirements are increasing and the need to manage and optimize is getting more important.
"Our priorities are shifting to building and maintaining infrastructure that scales with our data growth."
When it comes to managing data and applications that use big data, better containerization is becoming more important. Container orchestration systems for automating application deployment — like Kubernetes and OpenShift — are rising in popularity because of their ability to run large-scale applications more seamlessly.
Another trend we are noticing is that it's not just millennials cutting the cord with cable, but older generations as well. People are ditching expensive cable services for both live TV subscriptions and regular streaming services. With those services come more opportunities for targeted video advertising.
Given the volume of our company's data and how much that volume is growing, our priorities are shifting to building and maintaining infrastructure that scales with our data growth. An example of this is our transition to using OpenShift for managing our growing number of applications. The importance of having a large and strong data engineering team is higher than ever before because we are using more cutting edge technology in keeping our data secure and space-optimized.
Hybrid Cloud Systems
Sports enthusiasts have deep connections to their favorite sports, teams and players. Fanatics, a sports merchandise distributor, knows this well. Senior Engineering Manager Sunlight Yang said the company is digging deeper into hybrid cloud systems to evolve their data management in hopes of getting fans even closer to the games they love.
Over the past few decades, the physical world has become blended with the digital world. Thanks to the emergence of IoT, our lives have become more connected than ever and this brings us a wealth of data that we have never seen before. However, the traditional way of computing has become insufficient when dealing with data of such magnitude. That's where machine learning and AI come into play. They are changing how we look at the world and how we do business.
"Hybrid cloud strategies have existed for years and we continue looking for advances in this space."
When building a large system that would cross the boundaries between cloud and on-premise systems, efficiency and data security requirements will always be concerns. Hybrid cloud strategies have existed for years and we continue looking for advances in this space.
Fanatics is a company for fans, whether they be casual sports lovers or avid esports enthusiasts. The more we know about the fans, the better we can serve them with the products they want. Being intimate with those big data trends has helped us build a robust platform that allows us to offer them top-notch products and services and connect with them in both the real and virtual world.
Changing Access to User Data
Adswerve's Director of Technical Services Jacob Shafer said there's a shift happening in the way companies access and utilize user data. He explains how privacy-based regulations and the evolving nature of tech are limiting the breadth of user information companies have access to, making it more challenging for companies to get their brands in front of users. Shafer said Adswerve is tapping into its own data to help agencies, marketers and analysts navigate the changing landscape.
Simply put, privacy. Technology, its users and legislation are all increasingly focused on a user's right to control their data. In opposition, the industry has increased our reliance on free access to users' data. This conflict is resulting in industry-wide disruption. Companies will no longer be able to make decisions based on broad sets of granular user data, but will instead need to rely on aggregated contextual data about its users.
"Technological advancement continues at such a rapid pace that lawmakers have had a hard time keeping up."
Two things come to mind. The first is analysis instead of machine learning. Many companies are excited about the opportunity to utilize greater computing power to discover new insights about their users. But these companies can typically garner a great number of powerful insights by analyzing the data they already have.
There's also a lack of informed legislation. Technological advancement continues at such a rapid pace that lawmakers have had a hard time keeping up. The legislation is often difficult or impossible to enforce and shows a misunderstanding of the technology itself.
These changes in the industry require companies to craft a more advanced strategy to make sure their target audiences know about them. Adswerve is well-positioned to partner with its clients as they craft and implement a more advanced strategy. These industry trends — like privacy and new legislation — will continue to challenge us and marketers alike, but we're excited for the opportunity to leverage our media and data insights to help our clients successfully navigate through it.
data democratization and cloud data analytics
Matillion works for large companies such as Amazon and Google BigQuery to transform data via cloud-based software into a usable state. Vice President of Alliances Andreas Schurch said he predicts that more companies will primarily work with cloud computing.
What are the top big data trends you're watching that are significantly impacting the industry?
The big data trends that we are watching are data democratization and cloud data analytics. As data needs to grow and shift, IT and business users are working through governance and control within their organizations so that employees can easily access the data they need. Once they have access to that data, they'll need to transform it for analytics. Increasingly, we're seeing enterprises use the power of cloud computing to transform data into a usable state.
"Matillion sits at the intersection of two big trends: cloud and data analytics."
What under-the-radar big data trends are you watching that the industry isn't talking about?
With changes in regulation and compliance, organizations are trying to figure out how to keep consistent business logic and rules for all of their data. I believe there will be a shift to a distributed data integration system where companies will want to apply regulatory, privacy, and/or financial rules to any data on any platform for complete management of the data journey.
Matillion sits at the intersection of two big trends: cloud and data analytics. We are committed to enhancing our extract, transform, load product line and data transformation software to support our customers as they navigate new data trends. Our focus is to continue delivering features required by complex IT environments in areas like scalability, development lifecycle integration and re-use. We will continue to provide our customers with choice through the cloud adoption journey and to simplify the procurement process for new users and use cases.
Evolving Data Pipelines
Quartet Health helps doctors and people with mental health conditions connect through technology. Vice President of Data Engineering Mamta Prakh explained how responsibly managing large data systems allows for patients to get the services they need quickly.
Infrastructure for processing large-scale data has evolved in recent years. At Quartet, we rely on cloud solutions, distributed computing and open source tools to build robust, scalable, custom pipelines to efficiently and affordably manage large volumes of health data.
Widespread adoption of this infrastructure has helped data science move from ad hoc data analysis to reproducible long-term research and deployment of statistical models into production at scale. Collaboration between data scientists, engineers, designers and product managers is on the rise, facilitating movement from traditional software systems to learning systems that adapt automatically to change and new data.
Modern analytics platforms such as Looker are seeing increasing adoption at organizations like ours. These platforms democratize data analytics and empower users to develop a deep and broad view of the business quickly.
Data engineering is quickly evolving as a specialized field focused on preparing large-scale datasets for analytics. Data engineers are architecting distributed systems and data stores, creating reliable pipelines, and combining data sources for advanced analytics. Our data scientists and engineers are enthusiastic about applying anomaly detection techniques to automate some quality assurance and processing tasks.
We're exploring frameworks to improve explainability of machine learning models. As we aspire to augment existing physician workflows for mental healthcare, these tools are key to making interpretable recommendations. We're closely reviewing novel academic AI research areas that are yet to reach production at scale.
"With reliable data pipelines, we can iteratively study patient outcomes and improve care options."
At Quartet, we're on a mission to improve the lives of people with mental health conditions through technology and services. We're developing a scalable approach to make it easier for patients to get mental healthcare at the right time and in the right setting, based on their needs and preferences.
Large and complex data is needed to understand the interplay between physical and mental health as well as connect patient needs to high-quality personalized care. Managing this data reliably with built-in subject matter expertise enables talented data scientists from many other fields to work toward improving the identification and servicing of mental health needs.
Building real-time, feedback-driven machine learning with explainable insights into our products will incrementally drive user trust and engagement, which in turn will reduce stigma and help more people get the mental health care they need. With reliable data pipelines, we can iteratively study patient outcomes and improve care options.
Applying AI & Machine Learning to Real-World Healthcare Data
Crossix analyzes healthcare data to create innovative solutions that advance healthcare marketing. Director of Advanced Analytics Adam Dubrow said applying trends like machine learning and AI to real-world patient data can lead to improvements in care and better outcomes for patients.
Some of the most important trends for the healthcare industry include the rapid growth of data available for new applications in improving patient health outcomes, including real-world data from the healthcare system as well as consumer and patient-generated data. From there, we receive transformative insights and solutions made possible by connecting these data sets and applying machine learning and AI. There are many opportunities for using real-world data for regulatory and clinical applications such as supporting FDA applications.
The trends I pay attention to are the convergence of the data, research and analytical efforts of commercial and clinical teams in the healthcare industry. The shift toward value-based care, among other factors, means that clinical and commercial teams are more frequently asking the same questions. For example, a model that predicts with high accuracy when patients will not take a treatment as prescribed by their doctors has use for both types of teams.
"Crossix technology was engineered to be privacy safe."
Crossix, a Veeva company, is leading the way with innovations that will shape the future of the industry. Crossix technology was engineered to be privacy safe, and we're uniquely equipped to connect massive and disparate data sets in a safe way to power solutions and insights that improve patient outcomes. Our technology and expertise across healthcare and data science have allowed us to deliver the best solutions and insights to challenging problems and we're focused on continuing to innovate.
The trends above highlight some of the dynamics that make the healthcare industry such an exciting and rewarding area for innovation. Healthcare is experiencing more growth in data than other fields (one study estimated that genomics alone is more challenging from a data perspective than astronomy). The importance of privacy is absolute and at the forefront, and the potential impact data innovations could have is monumental in terms of improving the lives and experiences of patients.


line follows quickly behind the updates to the regular MacBook; speed and memory. It's more of the same here with a processor upgrade from 2.33 to 2.4Ghz, an nVidia 8600m GT graphics processor replacing the ATI X1600 and a switch to Intel's new "Santa Rosa" mobile chipset offering 800Mhz front-side bus and support for 4Gb of RAM," Michael Thwaite reports for MobileTechReview.
range includes 15″ 1440×900 resolution and 17″ 1680×1050 resolution display units with the LED only available on the 15″ at the moment. Processors have jumped to 2.2 and 2.4GHz on the 15″ and 2.4Ghz only for the 17″… New is the option for a higher resolution (1920×1200) display on the 17″ – worth it in my opinion," Thwaite reports.
Full article, including benchmarks, here.
I'm seriously thinking of replacing my trusty 2004 12″ PowerBook with a nice 15″ LCD matte MacBook Pro with 256MB vram. Just wish I had an option for a smaller form factor than the 15″. But I can no longer wait for the mythical tablet – perhaps Macworld '08 will be the time for that. This sounds like the time to make the move.
I'm especially looking forward to using Aperture when I'm "in the field". I use Lightroom at the moment on the PowerBook (and Aperture at the office on the iMac coreduo), since the poor PB cannot handle Aperture at more than a snail's pace.
btw, thereʻs an excellent review from a young switcher online who is moving from the PC-Win world to one of these latest revs of the MBP. Lots of benchmarks as well.
That review hacked the English language to ribbons.
drmacnut, I had the same concern when I moved from a 12″ PB to a 15″ MBP. The MBP is thin, light and rigid. It is easy to carry and operate at the same time. It's not quite as easy as the 12″, but the speed and features like the speaker, backlit keyboard, and big, bright display will help you overlook the slight portability difference.
Now the 17″ MBP is another matter. It is difficult to operate while holding. It is less rigid and tends to knock into things, at least when I'm operating it.
Did I mention the MBP is fast?
I think it depends mainly on the pH level of the fart. Also, you'll need to factor in wind velocity, decibels, vibration intensity and collateral chunkage. It's probably best to avoid squatting or sitting on your MBP after meals or any time spicy, hot rectal vapors are imminent.
Seriously. I've been a victim of typos myself, but since when did run-on sentences and randomly placed semicolons become acceptable for a supposedly legit publication? The review is nice but the stream-of-consciouness style has me wondering if the publication has editors who graduated from high school.
That being said, the bottom line seems on the mark. The new Santa Rosa-based MBP may not be a huge step forward, but all the little advances add up to a very nice package.
Barefeats.com has a pretty good 3D gaming review of the new MacBookPro.
I like sites like Barefeats and Accelerate Your Mac because they don't sugar coat Apple products.
If a Apple product has problems, they tell you.
MDN never links to those sites. Nor the good HardMac.com for that matter.
