The Vets followed the telltale trail into their neighbor's corridor and, further, into one of the dorm rooms there.
Oh, if only Law and Order could be this easy to figure out.
And as strongly denied that they had access to the closet to which the trail led.
Undaunted, the Vets demanded that they open the door or it would be gently pulled from its hinges.
The Vets wasted no time in restoring it to its rightful place of honor on their balcony.
While everyone was at class, the two vet students took their syringe and squirted a little of their prized 'essence' through the keyhole of every door in that corridor.
Hmm. Maybe they had been a little precipitate (another good word)?
Dad didn't give the prank much thought during his Christmas vacation.
My 86-year-old Dad and his good, good friend, Shirley just left to head back home after a visit.
So today's post, in honor of my Dad, and because I have 'dating' on my mind, will be about . . .
He'd been working very hard.
One young lady (hereafter known as The Girl) particularly took his eye.
Finally, he asked if he could call on her.
This was the 40s. Guys said things like that . . .
A couple of days later, he drove out to see her.
Now, I should point out, here, that it was only about twenty minutes from Dad's family home to The Girl's family home. When the conditions were good.
As in - during the summer.
Dad reached the girl's house just as a blizzard hit.
That was okay with him. He was warm and safe.
They enjoyed a few minutes of conversation.
Actually it probably sounded more like," Bing-bong!"
And from the ensuing conversation, one who was already close friends with The Girl.
For the remainder of the evening, the two of them tried to engage The Girl in conversation.
Finally, the evening drew to a close.
The Girl's mother announced that the blizzard had grown so bad that she would allow neither of the suitors to leave.
The two of them would have to spend the night.
It was the most uncomfortable night Dad had ever spent (including his time serving in the army).
At daylight, he peeked out the window.
The storm had blown itself out.
It was the best sight of his life.
No need to even stop to dress as he'd not bothered to undress.
In fifteen seconds he was out the front door.
The cute one. Bottom row. Second from the right.
And suddenly, by the light of his car headlights, we were staring at my parent's house.
He finally came through it, rather red-faced and sat beside me.
See? There's hardly any dent!
Well, not quite a million, but almost.
As soon as I was able to reach the pedals on the tractor and still hold onto the steering wheel, I was driving.
There were lots of reasons to perch me up on 'the beast' and start the engine.
But on a tractor, I had the entire field to turn around in.
And on the Stringam ranch, the fields were . . . large.
Again, I was limited to travelling in the fields and doing ranch work.
But I was still driving.
Because I was still a fairly new driver, and driving was still a treat, and because I was basically lazy, I decided to take the pickup to the far corral where my horse, Peanuts was currently residing.
I drove there and parked.
Spent an hour or so with my horse.
Drove back to the ranch house.
I should probably mention that I had gone riding very early. So by the time I returned, everyone was still in dreamland.
By now, my door and the pillar were probably looking like hamburger.
Can wood and/or metal look like hamburger?
And suddenly, there, standing in a shaft of early morning light, was my father.
Now I should explain to you that my Dad always wears pajamas.
Nicely pressed, matching button-up top with trousers (that Mom cuts off just below the knee and neatly hems).
Okay, he's a rancher. Sometimes they say 'hell'.
But only when really perturbed.
I know that look. I've seen it before.
There were a couple of 'bruises' on the support of the carport.
So the damage was relatively minor.
I did learn to drive.
Today, Anita is a wife and mother. She runs a million-dollar business that she created. She is a flight attendant and cub leader and community organizer.
Blogging Keeps Me Outta Trouble . . .
Most people think it didn't happen. Couldn't happen. Will never . . . but I digress . . .
I scurried (favorite word) to obey, frantically typing little stories and posting them. Then telling everyone in Facebook, Twitter, Linked In, Google . . . you get the picture . . .
I was sitting in Church ( I do that sometimes) and our Stake President was speaking.
First, choose an amazing topic.
For example, what do you most enjoy reading or hearing about?
Surprise! That's what your blog should cover.
So now you are writing a world-class blog. How do you get to be, for want of a better term, better?
Be entertaining. Be unexpected. Be humorous. Be inventive. Be courageous.
Well, you could do something outrageous.
But, trust me, that just creates more problems.
The best way would be to blog every day. Get your name out there every day.
Their authors will follow you back.
In a non-creepy way, of course.

Q: How do I `cd` and then* `ls` automatically in linux? I have found myself keep doing cd some_dir quickly followed by ls for quite some time now, and have been trying to write a bash alias to let me do this, such as:
alas cd="cd $@; ls";

Problem with this is you can't have an input argument in the middle of an alias (correct me if I'm wrong).
I've also tried defining my own shell function as suggested by this page:
cd() { cd "$@"; ls; }

But the problem with this one is if I try to use it like so:
cd Documents

the shell exits with [Process completed], rendering the shell useless... So how should I get around this?

A: In GNU Bash,
PROMPT_COMMAND=ls

A: I use a Bash function to automatically do an ls after I cd:
# Automatically do an ls after each cd
cd() {
  if [ -n "$1" ]; then
    builtin cd "$@" && ls --group-directories-first
  else
    builtin cd ~ && ls --group-directories-first
  fi
}

Just add the above to your ~/.bashrc
Personally I add it to my ~/.bash_functions (which is sourced by my ~/.bashrc)

A: Try this:
cd() { builtin cd "$@" && ls; }

builtin makes the cd inside the function invoke the builtin cd command rather than trying to call the function recursively.

A:      alias cd='cd $@ &&  ls $@ --color '

cd any directory name it can be display the all content.The alias set to cd command in
  the .bashrc file and run  the . .bashrc file. it's change in to all place

Real life has a close competitor in the "Art Project," released by Google last week. Their initial release is a clean, inviting site for browsing over one thousand artworks from 17 of the world's most famous museums. At least one piece from each of the 17 museums is displayed in gigapixel resolution, so that online visitors can zoom in to the brushstrokes. Each piece also has information about the artists, text or video commentary, bios, and links to related pieces. Some museums have 3D walk-throughs, analogous to Google's map street views (there are 6000 3D panoramas), and there's a way to create personal art "collections" to revisit or share later.
The Starry Night image in the Google Art Project is super high resolution. The Google image is approximately 45 thousand pixels wide. It is 6 times higher resolution than the naked eye can see from a meter.
The painting is 74 cm × 92 cm. The maximum spatial resolution of the human eye is measured in cycles per degree. If we consider the vision photoreceptors in the eye to be analogous to pixels, our vision in the most sensitive region, in the fovea of our eye, corresponds to the equivalent pixel spacing of 0.39 arc-minute (Clark, 1990).
One degree of vision is 1 / ( 0.39 * 1/60) = 154 pixels. If you stand one meter from a painting, a 0.92 meter wide painting uses a width of 2 * arctan ( 0.92 / 2 ) degrees = 49° of your vision. The equivalent number of pixels which you can see is = 49 * 154 = 7546 pixel wide — the limit of resolution of our eye — any higher pixel density would look the same. You would need to look at the painting with your eye 7 cm (just under 3 inches) away to see the same level of detail. Brian Croxall notes that this is much higher resolution than the commercial image library ARTstor gives to schools and libraries.
Seeing details is important, but the relative importance of seeing detail vs. seeing real 3D is debatable. An article in the Washington Post, reported skeptical comments from museum directors, for example, Brian Kennedy, director of the Toledo Museum of Art in Ohio, said the gigapixel images can bring out details that might not be visible to ordinary museum-goers in a gallery. But scholars will still want a three-dimensional view of the art, which even a very high-resolution two-dimensional image can't provide.
In any event, the degree of access in this visually appealing, easy to use, highly publicized and free web site is unparalleled. Without it, images of this iconic painting are hard for the general public to appreciate in detail, unless they buy a (two-dimensional) poster or book. That painting is located at MoMA in midtown Manhattan. Admission to the MoMA costs $20 for adults, $12 for students, and free on Friday nights. MoMA has approximately 2.1 million visitors per year, averaging 6.7 thousand visitors per day they are open — 16 visitors per minute — many of whom are interested in the same famous van Gogh painting. Despite being painted in 1889, and long since out of copyright, MoMA maintains strict control over photos which visitors might want to take home or share. According to their guidelines: "Still photography for personal use is permitted in collection galleries only… No photographs or videotapes may be reproduced, distributed, or sold without permission from the Museum." — All the more reason that MoMA and the other 17 museums are to be commended for facilitating this project.
…process reproduction is more independent of the original than manual reproduction. For example, in photography, process reproduction can bring out those aspects of the original that are unattainable to the naked eye yet accessible to the lens, which is adjustable and chooses its angle at will. And photographic reproduction, with the aid of certain processes, such as enlargement or slow motion, can capture images which escape natural vision.
Elizabeth Merritt, founding director of AAM's Center for the Future of Museums, called the walk-through technology an interesting experiment, and the kind of experiment that most museums can't produce on their limited budgets. She liked the personalization, citing that "It certainly fits with the research we've been doing that people like to create their own experiences and their own mash-ups and share them with other people," but she questioned the appeal of looking at art and galleries on a computer screen.
Marsha Semmel, deputy director for museums at the Institute of Museum and Library Services, said in the Post article that online collections should strive to create connections between material held by different institutions.

"Pussy's Dead was written before Trump's victory, but it still feels appropriate now—not just its title but also its haunting, dystopian lyrics and its oppressive atmosphere, which pulses anxiously like a sky full of drones. 'We didn't start a band to hold a torch and do the battle cry,' says Azar. 'But when it starts affecting us all, we can't help it. I'm a female; I experience sexism.

"Hysteria is a testament to making real what I've been told is only in my head.

When Bloomsday feels like doomsday
This post was originally published June 15, 2016. MH
It's 16 June: Bloomsday! The nearly global celebration marks the day in 1904 when the character Leopold Bloom treks through Dublin in James Joyce's "Ulysses." Think literary St. Patrick's Day with nicer weather.
Now, however, the date has a darker meaning in Ireland. It's the anniversary of the 2015 collapse of a fifth-floor apartment balcony in Berkeley, Calif. Five Dublin students and an Irish-American woman were killed, another seven were injured. Most were in the U.S. on J-1 Summer Work and Travel visas.
U.S. Ambassador to Ireland Kevin F. O'Malley issued a statement to media, which said in part:
On the first anniversary of the unimaginable tragedy that unfolded in Berkeley, California on June 16 last year and affected all of Irish society, the people of the United States extend our heartfelt sympathies to the families, friends, and loved ones of the students who lost their lives or were injured. In a remembrance ceremony today in Ballsbridge with U.S. Embassy personnel, we planted an apple tree in the Embassy's front courtyard and unveiled a memorial plaque to serve as a living tribute to those affected by the tragedy.
As serious readers of "Ulysses" know, the novel references the horrific fire and sinking of the steamboat "General Slocum," which occurred a day earlier in New York City. An estimated 1,021 of the 1,342 passengers were killed, mostly German-American women and school children, though some historians suggest the death toll was higher. It was the worst disaster in New York history until 9/11.
The "General Slocum," before the 1904 tragedy.
In The Freeman's Journal, a national paper in Ireland until 1924, the story was reported on page 5 of the 16 June 1904 edition. Contemporaries of Leopold Bloom read these multi-deck headlines:
Appalling American Disaster
Excursion Steamer on Fire
500 Lives Lost
Wild Scene of Panic
Children Thrown Overboard
Women Trampled to Death
Here's the passage from "Ulysses," which was serialized between 1918 and 1920, before being published in full in 1922:
Terrible affair that "General Slocum" explosion. Terrible, terrible. A thousand casualties. And heartrending scenes. Men trampling down women and children. Most brutal thing. What do they say was the cause? Spontaneous combustion. Most scandalous revelation. Not a single lifeboat would float and the fire hose all burst. What I can't understand is how the inspectors ever allowed a boat like that . . .
Or how 111 years later Berkeley inspectors ever allowed a balcony like that …

Ireland preps for historic visit by pope
UPDATE: I'll publish a new post as the visit of Pope Francis unfolds over the weekend. MH
A day before his arrival, the New York Times and Washington Post feature prominent stories about the clergy abuse problem in Ireland. In the Times' story, a Donegal police detective says the problem is "worse than the I.R.A."
"No God for Ireland! We have had too much God in Ireland. Away with God!"
The quote is from James Joyce's A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man. As Ireland prepares for the 25-26 August visit of Pope Francis, the question is whether "Catholic Church" should replace "God" in the quote, which was more or less Joyce's intention when he published the novel in 1916.
Ireland is a very different place today than 102 years ago, and also from 1979, when Pope John Paul II became the first pontiff to visit the island. As The Guardian notes in When faith fades: can the pope still connect with a changed Ireland:
In the past four decades Ireland has embraced divorce, contraception, same-sex marriage and abortion, all once unimaginable in a country where the church and the state were in an intimate partnership. In 1979, 93 percent of the population still identified as Catholic and went to mass every week. Since then, there has been a marked downward trajectory of the proportion of the population identifying as Catholic to 78 percent at the 2016 census, while the second largest – and growing – category is people who say they have no religion, at around 10 percent.
In his The Papal Visit of 1979: Context and Legacy piece in The Irish Story, Barry Sheppard writes "the evangelical zeal of the Catholic Action movement which exploded in the 1930s still loomed-large in public life, and was in fact reinvigorated in the aftermath of the (John Paul II) visit, targeting the familiar old foes of popular entertainment and cinema as agents of the decline of Irish morals. … It is highly doubtful that next week's visit can generate the same input."
Crux Editor John L. Allen Jr. provides FAQs on Pope Francis in Ireland, including protests and counter-events. A word of caution, however, to anyone who plans to follow the pontiff by car. The Marian shrine at Knock, County Mayo, is about three hours west of Dublin, not four hours to the "north," as Allen writes. Trust me, I just made the drive in February.

Why a language study program in Japan?
If it is difficult to learn a language from a book without traveling to the country where it is spoken. This is even more true for learning Japanese!
Japan is the second economic power in the world.
It represents 11 % of the world GDP, which is a little less than half of the American economy, but three times the Chinese economy. It is equal with France and Germany combined. It represents 10 % of the world trade.
Japan is a dynamic country whose economy is rapidly expanding. Its creative and innovative aspects also present numerous opportunities.
Japan has never stopped dedicating financial means to research and development, and it is the number one country in terms of patent registrations and licences today. It is thus a partner - and a market - in high-technology industries.
Beyond the economic interest, Japan has a sophisticated culture that is well-known for several things, including Sumo wrestling, Japanese prints, ceremony of the tea, Japanese flower arranging, bonsai trees, zen, poetry and traditional music, or even still traditional food.
A language study program in Japan will be an unparalleled experience of learning about such an amazing language and culture.

A new report, led by Police and Crime Commissioners, has found that whilst the police misconduct system is operating reasonably effectively, and Legally Qualified Chairs (LQCs) are settling into their role, action is required to improve the current arrangements.
The report, which is based on evidence from Legally Qualified Chairs (LQCs), force discipline departments and PCCs offices, makes a series of recommendations, including that the APCC and the NPCC produce urgent guidance to encourage more consistency in the application of the misconduct process in relation to the LQC role.
It also calls for the Home Office to consider developing regulations, and detailed guidance, setting out the underlying features of the LQC role in relation to the new complaints and conduct regime which will soon be implemented.
The report also recommends that PCCs, APCC, Home Office and Information Commissioners Office work together to provide consistency and clarity about LQCs' data protection responsibilities and LQCs work with the APCC and other to instil and embed transparency into the process.
"Whilst the misconduct hearing process has run very well under LQCs, 15 months after their implementation, it is clear that a collective effort is required if we are continue to improve the misconduct hearing process, for everyone involved.
"It is hoped that this review leads to the changes that all those involved in the system agree are necessary, from short-term guidance on the selection process of LQCs to more detail set out in regulations about the roles and responsibilities of all parties, including clarity on issues such as data protection.
This was a largely qualitative survey, based on perception and experience of the misconduct system from different perspectives.
The main report is available on the APCC website here. You can access the report complete with annexes here.

Simply transposing the DateFrame did not work. I also tried pivot which gave the error message that the operands ould not be broadcasted to different shapes.
dates = ['NAME','ISIN']
dates.append(df.columns.tolist()[3:]) # appends all columns names starting with 02.01.2010
df.pivot(index = dates, columns = 'Data', Values = 'Data')

How can I get this DataFrame in the desired format?

A: Use DataFrame.melt before pivoting with convert datetimes, last sorting MultiIndex:
df = (df.melt(['Name','ISIN','Data'], var_name='Date')
        .assign(Date = lambda x: pd.to_datetime(x['Date'], format='%d.%m.%Y'))
        .pivot(index = ['Date','Name','ISIN'], columns = 'Data', values = 'value')
        .sort_index(level=[1,2,0])
        .reset_index()
        )
print (df)

Another idea is first convert columns names for datetimes and then reshape by DataFrame.stack and Series.unstack:
L = df.columns.tolist()
df = (df.set_axis(L[:3] + pd.to_datetime(L[3:], format='%d.%m.%Y').tolist(), axis=1)
         .rename_axis('Date', axis=1)
         .set_index(L[:3])
         .stack()
         .unstack(2)
         .reorder_levels([2,0,1])

*Description*: Looking like a colorful holiday card, this image from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope reveals a vibrant green and red nebula far from Earth, where nature seems to have put on the traditional colors of the season. These colors, produced by the light emitted by oxygen and hydrogen, help astronomers investigate the star-forming processes in nebulas such as NGC 2080. NGC 2080, nicknamed "The Ghost Head Nebula," is one of a chain of star-forming regions lying south of the 30 Doradus nebula in the Large Magellanic Cloud that have attracted special attention. These regions have been studied in detail with Hubble and have long been identified as unique star-forming sites. 30 Doradus is the largest star-forming complex in the whole local group of galaxies. The light from the nebula captured in this image is emitted by two elements, hydrogen and oxygen. The red and the blue light are from regions of hydrogen gas heated by nearby stars. The green light on the left comes from glowing oxygen. The energy to illuminate the green light is supplied by a powerful stellar wind (a stream of high-speed particles) coming from a massive star just outside the image. The white region in the center is a combination of all three emissions and indicates a core of hot, massive stars in this star-formation region. The intense emission from these stars has carved a bowl-shaped cavity in the surrounding gas. In the white region, the two bright areas (the "eyes of the ghost") - named A1 (left) and A2 (right) - are very hot, glowing "blobs" of hydrogen and oxygen. The bubble in A1 is produced by the hot, intense radiation and powerful stellar wind from a single massive star. A2 has a more complex appearance due to the presence of more dust, and it contains several hidden, massive stars. The massive stars in A1 and A2 must have formed within the last 10,000 years, since their natal gas shrouds are not yet disrupted by the powerful radiation of the newly born stars. The research team noted that Hubble's superb resolution is essential to see the various features in the nebula and to better understand the formation of massive stars in this interesting region. This "enhanced color" picture is composed of three narrow-band-filter images obtained March 28, 2000, with Hubble's Wide Field Planetary Camera 2. The colors are red (ionized hydrogen, H-alpha, 1040 seconds), green (ionized oxygen, 1200 seconds) and blue (ionized hydrogen, H-beta, 1040 seconds). The image spans 67 x 67 arc-seconds, corresponding to 55 x 55 light-years at the distance of the Large Magellanic Cloud (168,000 light-years).

The Most Dangerous Man in America: Daniel Ellsberg and the Pentagon Papers is a 2009 documentary film directed by Judith Ehrlich and Rick Goldsmith. The film follows Daniel Ellsberg and explores the events leading up to the 1971 publication of the Pentagon Papers, which exposed the top-secret military history of the United States' involvement in Vietnam.

The film was shown on the PBS series POV in 2010, for which it earned a Peabody Award.

Reception

Critical response
In a review for The New York Times, Mike Hale writes that the film "conscientiously notes the viewpoints of those who believe that Mr. Ellsberg betrayed his country or his former colleagues at the Defense Department" and the filmmakers "concentrate on their portrait of Mr. Ellsberg, who emerges as a complex and difficult man whose principles, whether you agree with them or not, can't be denied." Roger Ebert writes, "It is a skillful, well-made film, although, since Ellsberg is the narrator, it doesn't probe him very deeply. We see his version of himself."

Mick LaSalle writes in a review for The San Francisco Chronicle, "The film is packed with stories, from numerous talking heads, including Ellsberg. A wealth of information is conveyed with complete clarity." In a review for The Journal of American History, Stephen J. Whitfield notes "the most dangerous man in America" was a moniker "bestowed by Henry Kissinger, who had admired his Harvard University colleague's pioneering work in decision theory. But the film commits the unpardonable sin of leaving the title unexplained."

In a review for NPR, Mark Jenkins writes that the filmmakers "sometimes rely on Errol Morris-style reconstructions of events, which are less deft than Morris'. Distractingly, they also use sketchy animation for a few sequences." In a review for Variety, Ronnie Scheib writes,"While a present-day Ellsberg complains that the massive number of bombs dropped on Vietnam, which he repeatedly mentioned in press conferences back then, was never duly reported, Ehrlich and Goldsmith redress that silence with a bombardment of newsreel images of aerial destruction."

The Most Dangerous Man in America has an approval rating of 96% on review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, based on 56 reviews, and an average rating of 7.84/10. Metacritic assigned the film a weighted average score of 75 out of 100, based on 18 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".

An Honest Guy on AI IV: Entity Resolution, Pragmatism, and the "Black Box" Problem
If you have a low tolerance for buzzwords, you're in the right place. This interview with Carlos Azeglio, Basis Technology's senior product manager, gives an insider's perspective on AI and its impact on industry without utopian visions, apocalyptic scenarios, or vague terminology. (For those in risk technology, make sure to check out the last two questions).
After reading this, tackle the rest of the series: part 1, part 2, and part 3.
Could you tell us a little about yourself and your background in AI?
I've been involved in the data aggregation and entity resolution space for two decades now. I actually started my career as a librarian specializing in cataloging, indexing, reference, and research. The dotcom boom, fortunately for me, created a high demand for these skills.
My interaction with AI started around 6 years ago working with machine learning models for entity resolution platforms. For all those unfamiliar with entity resolution, it's the process of connecting and linking real-world entities (people, places, organizations, etc.) that exist in structured and unstructured data to a specific knowledge base.
A quick example: If you match a person to an existing entity record in Wikipedia or some other source, you've just performed entity resolution.
Previously, all other solutions I worked with were heavily rule-based based approaches. These rule-based methods were very good at establishing high precision results but at a high cost in terms of resolution exhaust requiring manual intervention. The lessons I learned from my first AI experience were…
Building machine learning models required lots of training data.
The results were amazing…but sometimes difficult to explain.
AI works best as a hybrid approach: You can't disregard rules altogether.
Yes, you can automate at much higher rates, but some level of manual remediation is always necessary.
No matter how tight the curation rules are, you'd be surprised how subjective entity matching can be from a human perspective.
Often underestimated, entity resolution is the foundation of good data analytics and science. By uniting the available reference information around people, places, and organization, entity resolution creates a single version of the truth–the necessary foundation of any trustworthy analytical work.
AI has become a key technology in entity resolution, and its importance in the space is only growing. Because of the sudden and extreme rise in the need for quality data vetting and enrichment, businesses have no choice but to start embracing AI for core entity integration and unification tasks.
How would you describe AI?
AI is really an augmentation layer applied to tasks requiring constant decision making.
The more sophisticated the AI system, the faster the processing speed and the better it can handle complex decisions. The more extensible the AI platform, the more practical and applicable it becomes. These qualities are in particularly high demand in highly regulated industries, where performance, as well as auditability, are mandatory.
What do you think about the technology, where's been and where's going?
Over the last five to seven years, businesses have been getting their feet wet when it comes to AI. They've begun acclimating to AI's benefits and implementing at the periphery of their organizations. The current trend is now to apply AI at deeper levels, integrating the technology into core business process workflows.
As far as the actual technology is concerned, there have been great strides made in areas requiring pattern recognition, knowledge graph generation, and NLP (Natural Language Processing).
Where's the hype? What's being oversold?
Often overused, "AI" means different things to different people. The technology is also often treated as though it were some kind of the panacea: AI will provide all answers and solve all problems. This kind of branding can lead to disappointment when ultra-high expectations meet the sobering reality of technological capability.
To a greater or lesser degree, this phenomenon is happening across industries.
I try to hold to a more pragmatic approach: Define a very narrow, realistic goal–focusing on augmenting instead of replacing human processes–and you'll often find success.
Basis Tech recently produced a booklet entitled The Honest Guide to AI for Risk. Why does risk need AI? What are some major challenges facing this sector and what applications might AI have to them?
My background is primarily in compliance risk, and I believe AI has a lot to offer this sector. For professionals in this space, the list of operational challenges grows year after year. Regulatory guidance, penalties for infractions, and analytical tasks continue to pile up. Data complexity, multilingualism, and structural diversity are all on the (exponential) rise. Their job has become more difficult on every dimension.
Fortunately for this space, AI technology can help address each of these challenges–especially with NLP. Existing NLP-driven applications can help compliance professionals stay abreast of the relevant policy changes, enable scalability, handle esoteric content, and quickly adapt to ever-changing criminal tactics.
In short, it's a good fit.
What are some of the major roadblocks to AI integration in this space and how can they be overcome?
One of the main obstacles to deeper AI integration is the inscrutability of an AI application's decision-making process. This is known as the "black box" problem. In highly regulated sectors, being able to explain and audit actions is a requirement in most–if not all–use cases. This being the case, the most successful AI-centric products and services will include auditability and traceability from the ground up…instead of just as an add-on.
Inertia is another notable barrier…especially when it comes to the transition from purely human to augmented systems. Processes that have traditionally relied on manual workflows for remediation and vetting can be remarkably resistant to change. However, I believe the second obstacle can be overcome once the benefits of AI are understood.

The simple point to what God is reminding us of is, "The Extra Mile" can change a life and win a soul to Jesus. To me that makes the pain of going the extra mile a pleasure.
I listened to an interview on Jeremy Vine show this week on Radio Two. At 10 years old, Martin Pestorious was taken ill with a sore throat and flu ,and within a year was in, what they called, a "vegetative state." Doctors said there was no hope and sent him home to die.
For 14 years Martin existed in a home for the profoundly disabled, living in his own world but fully aware of the world around him, hearing every conversation and comment about him, but unable to respond.
Martin lived a lonely, bored and frustrated life, desperately wanting to communicate all that he was thinking and feeling and on many occasions wishing he would just die.
Nurses and Doctors did all that was required to keep Martin alive, believing there was nothing more they could do, and most likely thought he would be better off dead.
A turning point came in Martin's life at 24 years old, when a volunteer came into his care home and took the time to talk with Martin. For two years she spoke to him like he was there and he understood. This volunteer watched a TV program about augmentative and alternative communication. She got excited and believed this could help Martin. She spoke to Doctors and Nurses but they were not interested. She spoke to Martin's parents who, for a year, worked at helping Martin with augmentative and alternative communication.
Martin, today is still totally paralysed but, with the use of an inferred device attached to his head, a computer communicates what he feels and thinks and, what's more, Martin now works as a web designer and tells the amazing story of falling in love over the internet and getting married this year.
Martin's life and future was transformed because one volunteer went the extra mile. She did more than was required. Doing just enough for Martin would have meant he would still be living his lonely, bored frustrated life, wishing he was dead.

'Bard of Democracy' Exhibition Celebrates Whitman's 200th Birthday
By Penny Zhou
June 17, 2019Arts and Culture
Walt Whitman, The Bard of Democracy. Imagine a completely unknown author received this email from novelist Jonathan Franzen about his recently self-published book that had an initial print-run of just 795 copies:
"I find it the most extraordinary piece of wit and wisdom that America has yet contributed … I greet you at the beginning of a great career … I rubbed my eyes a little, to see if this sunbeam were no illusion; but the solid sense of the book is a sober certainty. It has the best merits, namely, of fortifying and encouraging."
This same ecstasy was inspired in Walt Whitman when he received the letter on July 21, 1855. It was from Ralph Waldo Emerson, an extremely famous author at the time, curator Sal Robinson told NTD.

Robinson is the curator of the exhibition "Walt Whitman, The Bard of Democracy" at Morgan Library and Museum in New York City. The show is among many across the country celebrating the 200th birthday of this beloved American poet.
The exhibition showcases Whitman's early days as a local New York journalist; the publication of his poetry collection "Leaves of Grass;" the civil war; his post-war years in Washington, D.C.; as well as a final section about how he has influenced writers and artists in the 20th and 21st centuries.
Inspiration From Opera
Among the collections showcasing the factors that shaped Whitman and his poems is a sketch of a New York opera house, as well as a portrait of Jenny Lind, a Swedish soprano whom he admired.
Another opera singer who attracted Whitman was the Italian contralto Marietta Alboni, who gained fame for her classic "bel canto." Whitman claimed to have never missed even one of her New York performances.

Robinson said inspiration from this traditional Italian art contributes to the captivating sentiment in Whitman's poems.
"He very much wrote as a soloist. And I think that's why his work is so appealing for composers," she told NTD. "Whitman writes about the way opera gives you a sense of the power of the voice and teaches you how to use your voice."
Robinson said, "I think he really learned from the example of the aria that you would have this solo moment on stage, in which you have to sort of command the entire audience."
"But for opera," Whitman confided to his friend John Townsend Trowbridge late in his life, "I could never have written 'Leaves of Grass.'"
Volunteer During the Civil War
"Whitman was a firm believer in the virtue, the intelligence, the honesty, the trustworthiness of the American people," Robinson said, "He saw that particularly proved during the civil war; he saw the kind of voluntary taking-up of arms …"
Whitman arrived at Washington, D.C. in December 1862 to attend to his brother George, who was wounded in the Battle of Fredericksburg. During the days at the hospital, the empathetic poet was so touched by the soldiers' sacrifice that he stayed on as a nurse to look after them.
"He was really selfless," Robinson said, "He would bring anything for them. He wrote letters for them. He wrote to their families. He wrote about them, to drum up money [for them]."
In his poem "The Wound-Dresser," he wrote: "I pacify with soothing hand, I sit by the restless all the dark night … Some suffer so much"
'You Cannot Legislate Men Into Morality'
Apart from being known as "America's national poet," during his early years as a journalist, Whitman also wrote extensively in prose about his ideals—democracy, individuality, and freedom.
Robinson said in Whitman's life, he remained critical of many politicians, and hoped the country could rid itself of corruption.
Whitman also believed the best government is "that which governs the least," and is limited in scope and power.
"You Cannot Legislate Men Into Morality," he wrote in his 1842 article Legislation And Morality, "The more lumbering and numerous become the tomes in a lawyer's library—the longer and stronger grows the list of penalties for crime."

Low Temperature Synthesis of Nanostructured Oxides for Dye Sensitized Solar Cells
Zhao, Chao (2016) Low Temperature Synthesis of Nanostructured Oxides for Dye Sensitized Solar Cells. Doctoral thesis, Northumbria University.
Text (PhD thesis)
zhao.chao_phd.pdf
Dye-sensitised solar cells (DSSCs) based on metal oxide semiconductor photoanodes (i.e. TiO2, ZnO) offer a promising route for low-cost and transparent solar cells,
especially suitable for indoor/outdoor applications, building and automotive integrated electricity generation. Apart from developing new dyes (or absorbers) for increasing absorption and stable fast-regenerated electrolytes, improving metal oxide photoanodes has also gained great research attention. In a conventional DSSC, the mesoporous TiO2 photoanodes assembled by TiO2 nanoparticles can support large surface areas for
sufficient dye (absorber) loading, thus result in reasonably good solar cell performance. However, the poor pore-filling of large sized molecules (i.e. solid electrolyte) and inefficient electron transport lead to significant photo-generated charge recombination thus loss of photo-generated energy. Despite the reasonably good electron transport ability of the currently used particulate-based photoanodes, the requirements of high temperature processes for these photoanodes significantly limit the substrate and material choices. In this thesis, a low-temperature strategy was designed to synthesise crystallised metal oxide (ZnO and TiO2) nanostructures with controllable morphologies to be used as photoanodes with improved electron transport abilities for DSSCs.
ZnO nanorods (NRs) with tailored nanostructure (i.e. growth direction, aspect ratio and surface distribution density) were synthesised on pre-seeded substrates using zinc salt based aqueous solutions at temperatures generally lower than 95 oC. The influences of reaction temperature, pH, concentration, reaction duration and additives were systematically investigated. The detailed studies of nanostructures, morphology, crystallinity and properties of the ZnO NRs led to an improved understanding of the synthesis process.
Anatase TiO2 modification layer was achieved using a plasma ion assisted deposition (PIAD) without external heating or subsequent annealing. Effects of the deposition parameters (duration, gas flow rates and plasma energy) on TiO2 film properties (optical, structural and chemical activities) have been studied. By combining two lowtemperature processes (aqueous solution growth of ZnO NRs and PIAD of crystalline TiO2 nanostructures), nano-sculptured ZnO-TiO2 nanostructures were achieved. The ZnO NRs were covered with a layer of anatase TiO2 to form core-shell and foxtail-like nanostructures. These nanostructured photoanodes showed an improved electron transport as well as suppression of recombination capability in the DSSCs assembled by these photoanodes.
A novel in-situ microfluidic control unit (MCU) was designed and applied in the aqueous solutions synthesis process, which provided an easy way to localize liquidphase reaction and realise selective synthesis and direct growth of nanostructures, all in a low-temperature and ambient pressure environment. The morphology of the nanostructures was controlled by varying the amount of additivities supplied by the MCU. This achieved a facile fabrication of Al-doped ZnO (AZO) nanoflakes vertically grown on flexible polymer substrates with enhanced dye loading and electron transporting capabilities. Flexible DSSCs with a significant enhancement (410% compared to ZnO NRs based devices) in the power conversion efficiency were obtained using the AZO nanoflakes photoanodes of 6 µm thickness, due to the enhancement in electron transport capability of the photoanodes and reduction in the recombination process.

To coincide with the launch of our new series, The Board (which had its first seating on Saturday), we asked Leadership Coach and Talent Development Manager, Liesl Keen, for her insights on smashing your career goals.
For a variety of reasons many people don't make their careers a priority. Sure you might have an idea of where you'd like to go but when was the last time that you actively sat down and planned it. Or did something extra to achieve it. If you've your eyes on a career path it's time to take charge and dive in. It's never too late to start.
When it comes to setting goals what they are is important, but Liesl says that many people ignore another important element. "Drilling down to the real reasons why you are choosing certain goals, support and sustain your efforts to accomplish them. You should have a healthy emotional attachment to the WHY of your goals and this will make all the difference in how you tackle action planning and staying the course. Keeping yourself accountable is a very strong motivator to achieve your intentions." Since we're taking 2019 to be a year of growth and success we wanted to find out more.
So, Liesl, what is the one skill everyone should be sharpening in 2019?
Change is and will continue to be part of our lives and very much so in the working world. What got you to the position and role you occupy now, whether in a corporate organisation or as an entrepreneur, will not be sufficient for the future.
It is critical that we place our self-development in work and in life as a priority! If we do not give learning the attention it needs in our lives, we will become stagnant and fall behind. We need to have clearly defined personal goals and understand the competencies we should develop to become skilled for the future.
If you work in an organisation, discuss your aspirations with your manager and ensure that a development plan is created to support you. It's important to do the same in your personal life.
An open dialogue is key, but that can be difficult sometimes. What's your advice to those who struggle to feel heard?
If we find ourselves feeling unheard when communicating as leaders or aspiring leaders, it often relates back to how we see ourselves in these situations. Leadership presence is an important quality and skill to work on and it affects how others view us and ultimately the results we will get.
Confidence when speaking has a lot to do with how we feel on the inside, which then projects a willingness for others to pay attention to what we are saying.
Ensure credibility by being prepared and knowledgeable in your field.
Be consistent in your view points, which also adds to credibility.
Ensure that you project confidence in tone of voice, body language and your dress.
Become more self-aware. This an important life skill and will help you in most situations at work. You can regulate your own emotions far better when you are aware of what is happening internally and in the meeting room.
Listen attentively to others. This is called active listening where you are fully engaged so that the other person can see this. They will be more inclined to listen in return.
Set your own boundaries. If you want to be heard it is important that others know where they stand with you. People only treat us the way we allow them to and this very relevant in the work context.
It's important to ask for feedback. This is how we learn and get insight into the competencies we should build on.
I really like the idea of becoming more self aware and setting boundaries, so often that's only thought of with regard to personal relationships not professional. But if you're new to all this how do you stay focused?
The simplest but also most complex answer is to know and understand your WHY for the goals you have set.
Why is this your goal? Why have you chosen to make this a goal for you and why do you desire this in your life? These are the fundamentals I work with my clients on when embarking on goal coaching.
The reasons for your goals should excite you, they should enthuse you and propel you forward to take massive action in your life. If the why doesn't do this for you, it's possible that you are focusing on the wrong goal.
Goal setting is an art and more complicated than just deciding I want to lose weight or get a promotion or start a business. In order to remain motivated, your goal should align with your values and be supported by your beliefs that work for you and not against you. Limiting beliefs have a tremendous impact on our success in life and we don't even realise we have them.
Measure your achievements incrementally. You cannot lose all the weight you want to lose in a week, you can however make significant progress and create healthy habits as well that will lead to remaining motivated.
Breakdown your goals into short term actions and celebrate achieving those milestones!
No matter the industry, networking and interpersonal skills are vital. What would be your one tip for those looking to make the most of relationships in 2019?
It's all about the value that you can bring to those in your network. Your unique selling point is only valuable to your network if they really need it and you will only know this once you established a real relationship with them.
All too often networking and building relationships becomes a forced sell and that is really not benefiting the long-term game of networking. Be in the relationship for the future benefits it may have and what you can bring to the table. This builds your credibility and shows that you are not in it for the short-term hard sell, but a sustainable mutually beneficial relationship where knowledge exchange takes place.
So there you have it, expert advice on how to make sure that you're goals are working for you – and are also what you *actually* want. If you're looking for some accountability making and setting goals in a group can be hugely beneficial, and if you're looking for some inspiration keep your eye here for future events.
A huge thank you to Liesl for sharing her insights with us, and if you're looking for leadership training be sure to visit her website.
Oh. wow. Well, I think I will do (i will try to do, yeah) all your suggestions. I think it can help me to be more confident at least. Thank you for writing this article. Good luck with your blog!

On the back of firm demand for dairy products, driven in part by concerns over availability of milk supplies, the milk market value (MMV) increased in April. This is based on AMPE and MCVE, and helps to provide an indicator of where milk prices could go over the next few months.
Based on the typical impact that movements in the MMV have on farmgate prices in three months' time, it would be expected there will be less downward pressure on farmgate prices in the coming months.
It is important to note that the figures simply provide an indication of the direction and size of expected milk price movements. Differences in the timing and size of price changes by individual milk buyers will arise due to conditions in the markets in which milk buyers operate, as well as the mechanism they use to set the milk price.

EMH: Actually. That won't be necessary. I'm repairing him right now.
Bunni: Whoa, who are you?
EMH: I'm the helpful, Emergency Medical Hologram, and my owner programmed me for some custom surgery.
EMH: You've gotten much better looking... Losing the beard did nice things for your figure.
Bunni: Gah! this makes the second time in just fifteen minutes that i've been mistaken for a man.
Schlock: Maybe you should try wearing form-fitting, revealing clothing.

Click here for audio of Episode 701.
Today, we dine on marvels. The University of Houston's College of Engineering presents this series about the machines that make our civilization run, and the people whose ingenuity created them.
I just left the Art Museum this ordinary Saturday morning. But what I saw there was extraordinary. It was an exhibit called The Age of the Marvelous. The great change of thinking that marked the 1500s and 1600s was laid out like a visual feast.
This was a shift in vision I've craved to see in one place for a long time. Now, I have seen it, and I am not disappointed.
Two huge events had taken place by 1500. The printing press had come of age, and we'd discovered two new continents between Europe and Asia. The Americas gave us a trove of new exotica -- people, plants, and beasts we'd never imagined. That would only have fed new myths, without printing. But now we had printing, and we were learning to make books with elegant woodcut pictures.
So we look at books of maps and books of beasts. Edward Topsell's inventory of all living creatures is typical. It has pictures of unicorns and iguanas -- of cats and sphinxes.
But as we explored marvels from the new world, we also began exploring marvels within the human body. Gross anatomy turned into the first new pictorial science.
Here's Ambroise Paré's book On Monsters and Marvels. Half of it's about birth defects -- some real, some faked. The other half shows the creatures that sailors were talking about. Up on the wall, we look at Dürer's etching of a deformed pig.
The drawings begin making use of the perspective that Dü made into a formal science. A book by Galileo includes sketches he made of the moon, aided by perspective and his new telescope.
So the mood shifts in the 1600s. Art takes on scientific realism -- scientifically contrived. At the same time, it plays with our eye. It fools us intentionally. An open cupboard turns out to be only a picture of a cupboard.
The subtle point is that visual realism had led us away from the old magic and marvels. The new vision lived in a real world -- not a fanciful one. Now we had to invent the magic and myth that the new science had left behind.
Finally, this remarkable exhibit shows us theater set designs. By now we'd invented opera. Baroque opera was stage magic. Patrons may've lost the old magic, but they still wanted to be surprised. As the old marvels grew impotent we had to invent new marvels.
The one person who anticipated this entire revolution isn't here. But the Museum is about to add an exhibit of Leonardo da Vinci's anatomical studies. Then we'll have the whole stunning story of change in one place. I wonder if that won't make too rich a serving for anyone's eye to look upon -- all in one place.

Home/Focus/Living/Trioova connects health care providers and patients in a virtual clinic.
A new app by Trioova connects providers and patients through their phone or computer. Patients can use the app to book appointments, message their health care provider and share progress photos. But it's not just about making it easier for patients and caregivers. Health care providers can use Trioova to help grow their practice!
This app was designed with health care professionals in mind and giving them the tools to grow. Trioova provides an easy way to maintain relationships with patients and coordinate tasks without the need for lengthy email chains or faxes.
More importantly, all the medical and health information is safe and secure. Users can message each other and use video chat thanks to an update on November 13, 2018.
The ability for providers and patients to meet in a virtual space without the need for driving long distances changes everything. The overall goal is to improve health care accessibility by combining all the tools needed into one place.
Whether you're an individual or a practitioner, the app makes it "convenient and simple", said Raye Willms, VP of Health Markets.
"Trioova gives individuals the power to choose and communicate with their health journey, whatever it may be and wherever they are," said Willms.
The message from the founders was consistent. Their goal is to "solve a fundamental missing element in the health care system – there is no universal medium," said Luke Butterworth.
Trioova is available online and on iOS.
