Splitting Up Your Social Strategy for Better Results
Marketing is about achieving goals, and that goes for social media marketing as well. In fact, you might say it's about "micro goals". At least that's what Jennifer Evans Laycock, President of SugarSpun Marketing says.
"The concept of micro goals is really about looking at all of the little things that can happen with your social media campaigns," she told WebProNews in an interview at PubCon in Las Vegas. "So we think about it in terms of, how many followers do I have on Twitter [or] how many fans do I have on Facebook? But a lot of times people don't look at the other small level goals that happen, so like how many times has this specific article been retweeted or how many times does the discount code off of Twitter get used?"
"When we look at all of those as individual goals (micro goals), they just are what they are, and we put them together, we can get a lot of insight into an overall campaign," says Laycock. "We may see a lot of links and a lot of traffic coming into some of our articles, but then if we go and look at the engagement level or the conversion rate off of some of those articles, it's next to nothing. Well, that's easy to say this is just link bait, and if we wanted to accomplish something, we need to re-write it. We need to come up with something different."
"So, it's having those micro goals in play to give you the way to see sort of the overall picture," she adds.

By getting a better view of that picture, you should be able to fine tune your efforts in order to increase traffic and conversions. "The nice thing about micro goals is that if you're looking at it on that level, you can kind of change directions a little more quickly with your campaign, because you're not just looking at that end goal of did my conversions go up or did I get more traffic?" she says. "You're actually seeing it as it's happening. So you have a lot better opportunity to change directions mid-stream, and fix something that's not going the way you want it to."
Having goals means knowing why you are doing certain things in social media (as opposed to just jumping on the social media "brand" wagon). "What I'm seeing a lot happening now as companies call, is I'll get that call that says, 'We need you to build a Facebook Page for us.' And I'll say, 'why?' And there's just dead silence. And I get, 'Well, I don't know.'…because everyone's doing it," says Laycock.
"You don't want to do just what everyone else is doing," she adds. "Don't jump off the bridge because everyone else is…People spend the money on the Facebook Page. They have fun making friends, talking to people, and then at the end of the day, when the CEO comes in and says, 'Well what did this do to our bottom line?' they go, 'I don't know.' That's problematic."
"If you want to impact the bottom line of your business, set a goal and figure out which social media outlets are actually going to help you reach it," she continues. "Not just which ones are most popular."
You may think that you have to be on Facebook or you have to be on Twitter, and there are certainly plenty of good reasons to be, but if these reasons aren't practical to your own business, you can probably do without them, although it's hard to imagine not having a goal of reaching as many people as possible with your message.
"I, much like most of the other people in the industry, used to spend a lot of time on Twitter, and I find myself spending less and less, because it was taking away from what I needed to do, which is work with clients," says Laycock. "So, invest the time to get the understanding, but once you have that understanding, ask yourself honestly: is this working for me? And if it's not, start investing some time into learning something else."
It doesn't hurt to keep your eyes open for new technologies, like New York Times tech columnist David Pogue was saying in an interview with WebProNews. There are so many technologies coming out so frequently, you're not going to be able to jump right into all of them, but you can keep an eye on the industry and look for practical ways to use different services. As he said, it may be dangerous to wait too long. That said, don't forget about your goals.

In my last blog post, I took a look at some good examples of using video for news in social media. But how are some of these made?
I've put together a quick guide for creating a video, specifically for Instagram using Final Cut Pro X.
Despite Instagram now allowing portrait and landscape videos on their timeline, this example will be creating a square video – which is quite common across social media sites.
Step 1: Creating a new project. We will change the video format to 'custom', and then edit the resolution width to match the height at 1080. Once we're inside the project, we can drop our main video content onto the timeline. Because this is a square project, the landscape video will need to be reshaped to fill the preview.
Step 2: Before adding text, we're going to add a banner that will make the captions easier to read. To do this, head into the titles and generators sidebar and find the custom generator. By default, this is just a plain black background. Drag this onto the timeline, above the video content. We need to make this transparent, and to then relocate it to the bottom of the preview.
Step 3: Adding text in Final Cut Pro X is very straightforward. In the titles and generators sidebar, and under the titles folder, find the text style you want to use – I'm using the 'basic title' style. Drag this onto the top of the timeline, above the banner, and double click on the text to edit. Once you've finished writing, drag the text box to its final position, and retime the clip to the duration needed.
I've added a few more pieces of text, and the discrete quotation marks to my timeline.
Step 4: Continue to add footage, text and other elements until you're satisfied with its content. Make sure to keep the video under 60 seconds, as this is the upper limit for videos on Instagram: anything over this time will be cut.
This is what my timeline looks like at the end of editing.
Step 5: Now it's time to export. Find the share button in the top right corner, and select 'master file (default)'. Choose a name for the export, and its destination. The video will then begin to export, and you'll be directed to it once it's completed.
And here's the final product as seen in Instagram.

London 'heading for Tier 2' after lockdown lifts, says mayor Sadiq Khan
Wednesday November 25, 2020, 8:43 AM
play-icon Created with Sketch.
Tap above to watch video report by Political Correspondent Simon Harris
London looks set to be placed in high alert Tier 2 when lockdown ends, according to Sadiq Khan.
London's mayor said the decision would be based on the latest Covid figures when the decision is taken on Thursday.
It comes after the Prime Minister announced a new stricter tier system that will be rolled out in England on December 2.
The rules in the three tiers have been tightened across the board, aimed at keeping the virus under control.
"At the moment it looks likely we will be in Tier 2 after lockdown is lifted but we'll have to wait and see what the numbers are this Thursday when the decision is taken," Mr Khan told ITV News London.
The new system of Tiers will stay in place until April by which time it's hoped the effects of a vaccine will help bring the pandemic under control.
Thanks to the monumental efforts and sacrifices of Londoners we have managed to keep the number of cases lower in our city than most other parts of the country since the summer. London going into tier 2 next week would seem the right and sensible decision. The cases in London are lower than other parts of the country expected to enter tier 2.
I am lobbying the Government for London to be tier 2 and have raised this with Ministers. London Government have worked very closely together on a cross-party basis and are united on this.
London's unique ecosystem of bars, restaurants, clubs and cultural venues have been through an extremely tough year. If they had to close throughout the Christmas period and beyond in tier 3 it would be a hammer blow that many might not recover from.
Without a substantially more generous package of financial aid from the Government closing much of London's hospitality sector through December and potentially well into the New Year would cause irreversible damage for many of our businesses and for the whole country's economy.
Sadiq Khan, Mayor of London

A long way to go: Global vaccination rates
Only 1.1% of people in low-income countries have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine
By Rob Roach, ATB Economics 10 August 2021 1 min read
The members of The Owl team are not experts in epidemiology. But, like so many others, we have become acutely aware of how COVID-19 and the measures aimed at containing its spread affect the economy. From reduced tourism and immigration to higher health care costs and unemployment, there are many links between the pandemic and the economy.
With this in mind, we have been following pandemic-related developments, including vaccination rates around the world.
From a global perspective, we have a long way to go. According to Our World in Data, 14.6% of the world population has received one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine while 15.5% is fully vaccinated.* Only 1.1% of people in low-income countries have received at least one dose.
Canada is a leader in this regard. About 62% of Canadians have been fully vaccinated and another 10% have received one dose. This puts us in the top 20 countries and well ahead of our American cousins. About 50% of Americans have been fully vaccinated and another 9% have received one dose.
Comparable data for China are not available from Our World in Data, but the next largest country in the world—India—has a vaccination rate of just 28% (8% fully vaccinated and 20% partially).
Even at about 39 million doses being administered each day, and assuming adequate supply and uptake, it will take time to vaccinate the 5.5 billion people who are yet to receive a single dose.
*A person is considered fully vaccinated if they have received a single-dose vaccine or both doses of a two-dose vaccine.
Answer to the previous trivia question: Edmonton has won 14 Grey Cups while Calgary has won 8.
Today's trivia question: In what year was the first Edmonton Fringe Festival held?
As of August 8, about 62% of Canadians have been fully vaccinated and another 10% have received one dose

Young artists can win fantastic prizes by entering a Sheffield painter's competition during lockdown – and it's raising money for hero nurses
A Sheffield artist who is one of the country's leading painters of portraits is encouraging children to get creative during lockdown for a major competition in aid of health workers.
By Richard Blackledge
Lorna May Wadsworth, whose recent retrospective exhibition attracted 16,000 visitors to the Graves Gallery, has teamed up with renowned framing company Bourlet and art dealer Philip Mould for the Bourlet Young Masters contest.
Entrants need to be aged under 12 – all they are required to do is draw any image they like, before posting a picture of it on Instagram using the hashtag #bourletyoungmasters.
Young artists can work with anything from paint and pencils to crayons or charcoal.
The winner will have their artwork set in a handmade frame and hung alongside genuine Old Master paintings at the Philip Mould Gallery in Pall Mall, London. They will also get the chance to go on a paid trip to London with their family to see the painting in situ, along with £150 of spending money and £150 of vouchers to use at the art supplies retailer Cass Art.
The competition has been backed by well-known figures including comedian Lenny Henry, author Neil Gaiman, and actor and broadcaster Stephen Fry, who gave the contest a fitting tagline: 'From the family fridge to national recognition'.
10 of the best ever exhibitions at Sheffield's art galleries
While Young Masters is free to enter, those taking part are encouraged to donate to the Cavell Nurses' Trust via a Just Giving page on Bourlet's website. The charity, established in 1917, helps nurses with financial, physical or mental health issues.

"If you have any little ones in the family who are running amok, you might be interested in this art prize I have helped put together for under 12s," said Lorna.
"The plan is to get kids busy creating during lockdown whilst raising money for the Cavell Nurses' Trust. We are hoping to raise 10,000 for their relief fund for nurses affected by Covid-19. They are a small charity doing crucial work to take care of the carers. You don't have to enter the competition to contribute so please give what you can and spread the word to help us raise our target of £10,000."
Lorna grew up in Sheffield, spending much of her childhood in Ecclesfield, and started out aged 14 by making a picture of Jarvis Cocker for the Pulp star's grandmother. She has since set up her easel in front of heavyweight sitters ranging from politicians Tony Blair and David Blunkett to actor Derek Jacobi, and was the final person commissioned to paint Margaret Thatcher from life.
Bourlet has been framing artworks for nearly 200 years – Picasso, Matisse and Monet all have artworks complemented by their frames – while Philip is familiar to TV viewers as the art expert and investigator on the BBC show Fake or Fortune, which he presents alongside Fiona Bruce.

The closing date is May 1, and the winner will be announced on May 5. Visit http://www.bourlet.co.uk/bourlet-young-masters/ to find out more or go to https://www.instagram.com/bourletyoungmasters/ to see the entries so far.

Alessia Cara continued her phenomenal global breakthrough 12 months at T in the Park, hailing the Scottish crowds as "warm" and "welcoming".
The 19-year-old Canadian singer took to the main stage on the opening day of the festival for just her second performance in Scotland, having supported Coldplay at Hampden Park in Glasgow last month.
She said: "I heard that Scottish crowds were like that and of course seeing it for yourself is a whole different thing. They were singing and just being really loud and fun, so it was awesome."
Alessia has had a stellar year after her debut track Here became one of the viral hits of 2015, followed by a guest spot on Taylor Swift's 1989 tour and being named as runner-up in the BBC Sound of 2016.
She said that T in the Park had been high on her festival performance wishlist after being told that "the Scottish crowds are so warm and that you'll have the best time", adding: "So I'm glad that it actually was that way."
The singer, who also recently performed on the John Peel Stage at Glastonbury, started off her career at a young age creating a YouTube channel where she gathered tens of millions of views of songs she covered.
The Wild Things singer was awarded Breakthrough Artist of the Year at this year's Juno Awards and was announced as a supporting act for Coldplay in the European and North American legs of their A Head Full Of Dreams Tour.
Alessia - who turns 20 on Monday - said: "Everything has been going so fast. I feel that I haven't really had a chance to process, it's just one thing after another.
"The tour and festivals have been taking up much of the year so far and they will continue to take up this whole year as I'm going to be touring with Coldplay in the US, as well as a bunch more festivals this year.
"It's just been going so fast, but the adrenaline is so high that it feels really fun."
Next up for Alessia is the third single from her album, Scars to Your Beautiful, which follows hot on the heels of the release of a duet with Troye Sivan on a remixed version of his track Wild.
Alessia said she feels "very lucky and blessed" by her rapid rise to stardom, adding: "This is something that's been in my head my whole life and you never really think it's going to actually happen, so the fact that it is happening is really nice."

BERNIE'S PLAN: Sanders Calls for 10% CUT to Entire Military Budget to 'Invest' in the Environment
Far-left Senator Bernie Sanders stunned millions of followers on social media Tuesday; calling for a 10% cut in the Pentagon's budget to invest in "health care, jobs, housing, and the environment."
"In the midst of a pandemic, the Senate is voting on a $740 billion Pentagon budget. I will be presenting an alternative: Cut the military by 10% to invest in health care, jobs, housing, and the environment. It's time to transform our national priorities,"

"Why do we spend more on the military than the next 11 nations combined? I have a better idea: Cut Pentagon spending by 10% and invest it in the fight to end homelessness, hunger and poverty in the richest country on Earth," said Sanders.

ADD IT TO THE LIST: Fading Bernie Unveils His $2.5 TRILLION 'Housing for All' Plan, Calls for Tax Hikes
Fading Presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders unveiled his "Housing for All" plan Wednesday; calling for $2.5 trillion in new spending to expand government programs for low-income Americans.
"In the richest country in the history of the world, every American must have a safe, decent, accessible, and affordable home as a fundamental right," writes Sanders. "For more than 40 years, we have had an affordable housing crisis in America that has only gotten worse. In America today, over 18 million families are paying more than 50 percent of their income on housing, while last year alone the five largest banks on Wall Street made a record-breaking $111 billion in profits."
"If we are serious about addressing the affordable housing crisis, we need to build millions of apartments and homes throughout the country that will remain affordable in perpetuity to prevent displacement and serve future generations. And when we do that, we will create millions of good-paying jobs in the process," adds Bernie.
The new proposal calls for $1.48 trillion to "build, rehabilitate, and preserve" affordable housing across the United States.
It calls for an additional $400 billion to construct 2 million new "units" and $500 million for "development in rural areas."

AMERICA RESPONDS: AOC Describes Coronavirus Relief Vote as 'Literally a Hostage Situation'
Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez described Friday's vote on the Coronavirus relief plan as a "hostage situation," calling the legislation a gift to America's biggest corporations and wealthiest residents.
"Each one of us takes this vote alone. This is not an easy position for anyone to take. It's a tough position, because it's literally a hostage situation," said Ocasio-Cortez.
AOC, who is critical of the stimulus, said this when I asked if she was disappointed by Bernie Sanders' position in support: "Each one of us takes this vote alone. This is not an easy position for anyone to take. It's a tough position, because it's literally a hostage situation"
— Manu Raju (@mkraju) March 27, 2020
Ocasio-Cortez doubled-down on her fierce opposition to the Senate's bipartisan Coronavirus relief package Friday; calling the legislation "shameful" and "crumbs" for American families.
"Our community's reality is this country's future if we don't do anything. Hospital workers do not have protective equipment. We don't have the necessary ventilators. We have to go into this vote eyes wide open," said Rep. Ocasio-Cortez on the House Floor.

Q: I want to be able to use only Alt+F4 when the shortcut keys are disabled in the WebBrowser of Form application As shown in the code below, when a WebBrowser is placed in a sub-window and the focus is on the WebBrowser in the sub-window, I want to close only the sub-window with Alt+F4, but somehow the parent form is also closed.
Why does this happen?
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace WindowsFormsApp6
{
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        private void Form1_Shown(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            var f2 = new Form2();
            f2.Show();
        }
    }

    public class Form2 : Form
    {
        public Form2()
        {
            var webBrowser1 = new WebBrowser();
            webBrowser1.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
            webBrowser1.WebBrowserShortcutsEnabled = false;
            Controls.Add(webBrowser1);

            webBrowser1.PreviewKeyDown += (sender, e) =>
            {
                if (e.Alt && e.KeyCode == Keys.F4)
                    Close();
            };

            webBrowser1.DocumentText = "test";
        }
    }
}

A: You can mark the key as in input key without calling Close, then it will close the current window:
webBrowser1.PreviewKeyDown += (sender, e) =>
{
    if (e.Alt && e.KeyCode == Keys.F4)
    {
        e.IsInputKey = true;
    }
};

The Teyuna, living in the vast Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta Mountains along the northern coast of Colombia for thousands of years, have been called "The Dalai Lamas of South America" due to their wisdom, their pacifism and their unequaled respect for tradition.
Their traditional lands range from the snowfields atop the mountain down to the coral reefs of the Caribbean, meaning that they are one of the few indigenous cultures in the Americas managing highland, lowland and marine ecosystems. It was the Teyuna, who, in calling attention to melting glaciers over twenty years ago, served as some of the first harbingers of climate change.
They are here out of genuine concern to help us open up to a new awareness of our relationship to the earth at this critical time in our planet's evolution. We are honored to host this series of public events and private gatherings at the Inn. We can develop a new level of earth wisdom and strengthen our own inner organs of perception by spending time in the presence of the Teyuna, a rare and precious opportunity.
Gather with the Teyuna as they offer pagamento and share spiritual teachings and practices focused on ecological protection and healing, Earth's well being, the role and function of all elements in the ecosystem, and an uncanny knowledge of astronomy.
When Teyuna mamos and zagas perform pagamento it activates segwa – divine seeds that are present and lying dormant in all beings, elements, and places on the planet. The land responds as if breathing a sigh of relief. Birds sing, and even rain falls. When nature is in harmony, we as humans are able to feel that accord, responding by relaxing and experiencing joy.
Through meditation and pagamento with the mamos and zagas, you will connect to something greater than the Self. You will connect to the eternal. Through these teachings you are cleansed and shown how to greet and give respect to the water, rocks, and trees- For they each give us life; the water we drink, the earth we stand on and the air we breathe.
The harmony with nature that we are gifted to experience in the company of the mamos and zagas connects us to teachings that cleanse us spiritually, mentally, emotionally and physically. We naturally and effortlessly walk away with a profound respect for and connection to, the water, rocks, trees and each other.
If you are interested in booking the Inn at Shaker Mill Falls for your own retreat, the Inn offers the perfect space for group retreats up to 30 people. We offer a wide range of options for accommodations, including tailored catering service for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and access to our private common areas and beautiful grounds with outdoor seating areas.

Q: Do not modify context even using a function that modifies the context Maybe the title sounds a little bit weird (please improve it) -- but I need a solution for the following scenario. I have the following code:
var Foo = function () {
    this._hello = "world!";
};

Foo.prototype.bar = function () {
    console.log(this._hello);
};

var f = new Foo();
f.bar(); // => "world!"
f.bar.apply(this); // => undefined

I know that apply changes the context, so inside of bar, this will be the global object (at the second call).
But what I need is to access this from Foo function. A solution that I see would be:
var Foo = function () {
   var self = this;
   self._hello = "world!";
   self.bar = function () {
      console.log(self._hello);
   };
};

However, I would choose not to have method declarations inside of another function.
I'd prefer to define methods same column level (just for code style):
var Foo = ...;
Foo.prototype.method = ...;

Is this possible? How?

A: You can use the bind() method to tackle these kinds of problems. Instead of something.method(f.bar) call something.method(f.bar.bind(f)) to get the bar method always called on the expected context (f).
If you don't want to use bind in every location where you pass bar around as a callback, you can also put it in the constructor to create a dedicated bound function for every instance by default:
function Foo() {
    this._hello = "world!";
    this.bar = this.bar.bind(this);
}
Foo.prototype.bar = function () {
    console.log(this._hello);
};

var f = new Foo;
something.method(f.bar); // works!

A: It's not possible to do this by assigning a function to the prototype like this.
Unless you assign something to f.bar directly (as in your second example, and Bergi's answer), the value you will get for f.bar is a reference to the function you assigned to the prototype's property Foo.prototype.bar. This will be exactly the same function object for any other object that has Foo.prototype as a prototype. There is no reference to f in this function object.
So when you call f.bar(), how does this refer to the value of f? It is a special syntax, that basically equates to f.bar.apply(f). It is only the fact that you use this method-call syntax that sets this to the value of f. Any other reference to f.bar will just evaluate to the prototype's single, shared function object.
If you call it with f.bar.apply(somethingElse), this is now set to somethingElse, and all association with f is lost.
It's not a question of apply(...) changing scope. fn.apply(x) sets this to x within fn, whereas y.fn() sets this to y.
Similarly, in your example if you assign f.bar to a variable and then invoke it via the variable instead of using the method-call syntax f.bar(), your this will be the window object (if running in a browser) and again you'll get undefined.
var func=f.bar; // now func === Foo.prototype.bar
func(); // => undefined

Q: Programmatically enable ClearType in Windows Mobile For our Windows Mobile application I want to enable the ClearType option on the device. According to this article on MSDN it should be done be setting the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GDI\Cleartype

But nothing happens after setting this particular key. Even a soft reset does not enable it, but simply gets rid of the registry key I just created.
Strange thing is that when I set it manually using Settings->System->Screen->ClearType it works immediately. And comparing the registry exports before and after changing the setting show that it is just the key mentioned above that changes.
I don't quite understand why it wouldn't work when I change the registry key myself. Anyone who knows what I'm doing wrong here?
[update]
It looks like the solution is to do either:

*

*Broadcast a WM_SETTINGCHANGE message with the correct parameters like:
SendMessage(HWND_BROADCAST, WM_SETTINGCHANGE, 0, 1)
But that has not worked so far. I guess the wParam parameter might need a different value.

*Or call CreateEvent with the relevant event for ClearType changes. A bit like BacklightChangeEvent or SDKBacklightChangeEvent would work. But so far I haven't seen any documentation on these events, so I can't work out what the event would be.

A: I have found the solution myself. It turns out that making the registry change is not needed, but just a call to SystemParametersInfo with the SPI_SETFONTSMOOTHING parameter is enough to make it apply the changes.
This is my code using .NET CF 2.0:
[DllImport("coredll.dll", SetLastError = true)]
static extern bool SystemParametersInfo(uint uiAction, uint uiParam, ref int pvParam, uint fWinIni);

const uint SPI_SETFONTSMOOTHING = 0x004b;
const uint SPI_UPDATEINI = 0x1;

int pv = 0;
bool ret = SystemParametersInfo(SPI_SETFONTSMOOTHING, 1, ref pv, SPIF_UPDATEINIFILE);

A: Did you flush the registry after changing the value and before doing the Soft Reset?
Sounds like the change did not persist.

Wilhelm Weinberg (ur. 25 grudnia 1862 w Stuttgarcie, zm. 27 listopada 1937 w Tybindze) – niemiecki lekarz, jeden z pionierów genetyki populacyjnej. Niezależnie od Godfreya Hardy'ego sformułował i uzasadnił prawo określające frekwencje alleli genów i genotypów w kolejnych pokoleniach jako niezmienne. Jego odkrycia, wyprzedzające epokę, pozostawały przez długi czas szerzej nieznane na świecie w związku z tym, że publikował je w niemieckich czasopismach i po niemiecku.

Życiorys
Urodził się 25 grudnia 1862 w Stuttgarcie. Studiował medycynę w Tybindze i Monachium, tytuł lekarza otrzymał w 1886. Do Stuttgartu powrócił w 1889 i prowadził tu praktykę lekarską (jako ginekolog i położnik). W trakcie swojej 42-letniej praktyki odebrał ponad 3500 porodów. W ostatnich latach życia miał kłopoty finansowe i chorował. Po przejściu na emeryturę przeniósł się do Tybingi, gdzie zmarł.

Dorobek naukowy
Jest autorem ponad 160 artykułów z oryginalnymi pracami badawczymi oraz licznych artykułów przeglądowych i komentarzy. Ponieważ pisał i publikował w języku niemieckim oraz przyjął inny system notacji niż stosowany przez genetyków w krajach anglosaskich, jego odkrycia pozostawały początkowo nieznane poza środowiskiem naukowym w Niemczech. Dopiero w roku 1984 dokonano przekładu jego najistotnieszych prac i zestawienia tabel Weinberga z powszechnie używanym systemem Falconera. Wilhelm Weinberg:

 jako pierwszy odkrył, że wśród bliźniąt istnieją bliźnięta jedno- i dwujajowe (wnioskując tylko na podstawie nadreprezentacji bliźniaków mających tą samą płeć). Pokazał zarazem, że tendencja do ciąż bliźniaczych dwujajowych jest dziedziczna, w przeciwieństwie do ciąż bliźniaczych jednojajowych.
 stworzył podstawy do podziału wariancji na komponenty genetyczne i środowiskowe, o czym nie pomyślał Ronald Fisher, i wykorzystania cech występujących u bliźniąt do odróżniania efektów dziedzicznych od wynikających z wpływów środowiska.
 zauważył, że niewłaściwy dobór osobników w analizach populacyjnych stanowi źródło poważnych błędów (ang.: ascertainment bias) – na przykład wyjaśnił, że w badaniach nad rodzinnymi autosomalnymi chorobami recesywnymi obserwowany wyższy niż przewidywany na podstawie praw Mendla (1:4) udział albinotycznych dzieci u potomstwa fenotypowo zwykłych nosicieli wynika z nieuwzględnienia w analizie także potomstwa tych rodziców będących nosicielami, którzy nie mają dzieci albinotycznych, i zaproponował sposoby wprowadzania odpowiednich poprawek.
 badając występowanie achondroplazji, stwierdził, że mutacje powstające w trakcie życia rodziców są odpowiedzialne za to, że dzieci poczęte przez rodziców w późnym okresie życia są na nią bardziej narażone niż dzieci poczęte wcześniej. Jest to pierwszy dowód na występowanie i znaczenie mutacji.
 sformułował jedno z podstawowych praw genetyki populacyjnej, udowadniając, że częstości alleli i genotypów w populacji nie zmieniają się z pokolenia na pokolenie, przy spełnieniu określonych warunków (prawo Hardy'ego-Weinberga) – w bardziej ogólnej postaci, niż tego dokonał Hardy (m.in. nie tylko dla locus z dwoma allelami, ale również dla loci wieloallelicznych – pomimo iż nie wiedziano wtedy jeszcze, że takie loci istnieją!; pokazał też, że dojście do stanu równowagi w takim wypadku będzie asymptotyczne, a nie natychmiastowe).

Osobowość
Był niezwykle bystrym i skrupulatnym obserwatorem. Odkryć dotyczących zasad genetyki populacyjnej dokonał, gdy nie istniało w tej dziedzinie (poza odkrywanymi dopiero ponownie prawami Mendla) żadne teoretyczne i metodologiczne zaplecze badawcze – jedynie na podstawie obserwacji fenotypów i ich częstości w populacji.

Pracował sam, nie miał kolegów ani studentów. Pozostawał poza kręgiem genetyków, którzy pracowali wówczas głównie w krajach anglosaskich. Nie miał wielu przyjaciół, prawdopodobnie z powodu "trudnej" osobowości i frustracji powodowanej tym, że jego odkrycia nie są należycie docenione. Zarazem wykazywał się wielką wrażliwością społeczną, w trakcie swej pracy pomagając biednym. Jak podkreślono w mowie pogrzebowej: (…) ze skromności, a często ku własnej szkodzie – skrywał ogromne zasoby życzliwości, dobrej woli wobec ludzi i poczucia sprawiedliwości, które uosabiał w najwyższym stopniu.

Josh Donaldson, Twins reportedly agree to 4-year deal
The Minnesota Twins reportedly have added a huge piece in their quest to repeat as AL Central champs.
The Twins and former AL MVP Josh Donaldson have agreed to a four-year deal, Mark Feinsand first reported on Tuesday. The deal reportedly will pay Donaldson $84 million over four years and includes a $16 million club option for a fifth year, with an $8 million buyout. Jeff Passan says the deal can be worth as much as $104 million if Donaldson hits all his escalators.
Donaldson reportedly had four-year contract offers on the table from the Twins, Washington Nationals, and Atlanta Braves. He was said to have been waiting for a team to match his $110 million asking price, and the Twins were described as the favorites to sign him.
Donaldson, 34, hit .259 with 37 homers and 94 RBIs last season. He won NL Comeback Player of the Year as he returned from injuries that limited him in 2018 to help lead the Braves to a division crown.
Donaldson proved last season that despite his declining batting average, he still has a powerful bat and can be a valuable member of a contender.
The Twins went 101-61 last season to win the division but were swept out of the playoffs by the Yankees.

What is dual licensing? 3 software licensing models to consider
Posted by Matt Jacobs on Thursday, February 23, 2017
Dual licensing usually refers to offering software under a proprietary license and an open source license. Consider these three software licensing models.
This post was co-authored by Benjamin Rosen.
Selecting the optimal model for licensing software is a fundamental determination that, if successful, may drive business, encourage innovation, and provide safeguards for valuable intellectual property rights. As a copyright holder, the owner of a piece of software has broad latitude in determining how that software can be licensed.
For some businesses or individuals, licensing software under a "pay-for" proprietary (OEM-style) license creates the right balance of revenue generation, customer satisfaction, and legal protection. In contrast, others may find that licensing software under one of various open source licenses, such as the GNU General Public License ("GPL"), strikes the right balance of accessibility, adaptability, and ease of implementation. Often times, this software licensing decision is seen as a dichotomous one, with businesses or individuals having to make a choice between licensing under either a proprietary license or an open source license. However, such a determination is not so limited, as many licensors have come to adopt a "dual licensing" model.
Dual licensing usually refers to licensing software under both a proprietary license and an open source license, typically the GPL. While this may seem like a conflicting approach, it has become a popular means by which licensors gain the economic benefits associated with commercial licensing while leveraging the community benefits associated with open source licensing.
For licensees, the fact that the same piece of code can be licensed under a proprietary license and also under an open source license (again, typically the GPL) can prove a trap for the unwary licensee who is not diligent when it comes to compliance and oversight. Licensees, especially those looking to make commercial re-use of a piece of code, must be especially careful that they avail themselves of the code under the appropriate license.
I. Proprietary licensing
Generally, proprietary software licenses create advantageous environments for maintaining confidentiality, controlling distribution, and generating a profit. Often, individuals or companies distributing software containing commercially valuable, confidential information turn to proprietary licenses because these types of licenses aim to maintain the confidentiality of such value-creating information through various licensee obligations, such as restricting licensees' ability to relicense or modify the software, restricting licensees' ability to inspect the underlying source code, and/or restricting licensees' ability to attempt to reverse engineer the software. Frequently, proprietary software licenses also require licensees to pay a fee in order to utilize the product, monetizing licensor's software. From a licensee's prospective, software subject to proprietary licenses typically contain additional features and licensor technical support beyond what would be offered by similar software governed by open source licenses.
II. Open source licensing
If proprietary licenses occupy a pole at one end of a licensing spectrum, the open source family of licenses occupy the opposing pole. Some estimate that over 2,500 open source-style licenses govern the more than 2 million open source projects available online. Open source licenses typically do not preclude licensors from using the corresponding software commercially, but rather create possible obligations upon future licensee distribution of that software or of products incorporating that software. These open source licenses are generally classified as permissive, reciprocal (restrictive), or falling somewhere in between, depending on the nature of the restrictions and obligations contained in the license.
Permissive open source licenses, such as the MIT license, the Apache Software License, and the Berkeley Software Distribution license (BSD), are generally characterized by more lenient obligations. These less stringent obligations may include allowing secondary distribution so long as the distributor provides attribution, or allowing secondary software alterations or improvements to remain proprietary. This flexibility facilitates the ability of end users or licensors to incorporate the licensed software into derivative products.
Reciprocal or restrictive open source licenses, such as the GPL, create more stringent restrictions and obligations for end users or licensors of open source software. The distinguishing feature of a reciprocal open source license is the so called "copyleft" requirement. The copyleft requirement obligates those who incorporate and later distribute code to do so under same terms and conditions as the original piece of open source software, even if that software has been modified. Additionally, open source licenses containing copyleft obligations will frequently require licensors to reveal the underlying source code or make it available when requested by others. These copyleft obligations can create risky exposure for licensee's failing to monitor the terms and conditions governing the open source components being incorporated into such licensee's software code.
Open source licenses may prove appealing for those businesses or individuals who are not intent on maintaining the confidentiality of proprietary information; who value the support and knowledge of the open source community in improving or adapting code, or correcting potential errors; and/or who desire the flexibility for potential customers to test software without being locked into a fee. From the prospective of a licensee, software subject to open source licenses is frequently inexpensive, or even free, to use but may also be subject to those additional obligations discussed above, depending on the nature of the underlying open source license.
III. Dual licensing
Dual licensing provides a third option for distributing software. Using dual licensing, licensors can distribute software to licensees under a proprietary model as well as an open source model, allowing the licensor to simultaneously leverage the advantages of both types of licenses. That is, some companies use a dual licensing model to distribute the same software under two different license forms: (1) a version subject to a proprietary license (which may come with the right to further develop and commercially distribute that software and with licensor technical support and added features), and (2) a version licensed under, and subject to, the restrictions and obligations of an open source license, such as the GPL.
One well known example of dual licensing is Oracle's MySQL database management system. Oracle uses a dual licensing model for MySQL to meet the needs of its consumers. Oracle offers MySQL under a proprietary (OEM style) license for licensees who want to create and commercially distribute proprietary derivative works incorporating MySQL without revealing the underlying source code and do not wish to be subject to other restrictions and obligations of the GPL. Additionally, Oracle licenses MySQL under the GPL for licensees who simply want to use the software or who want to incorporate MySQL into a product to be later distributed likewise under the GPL.
With two licensing options available for software subject to a dual licensing model, such as MySQL, a licensee must (1) make sure to ask the right questions when considering and determining which license best fits the licensee's intended use case for that code and (2) be certain that the code the licensee eventually uses is subject to a license that accurately meets the licensee's intended use. Failure to take these fundamental precautions can have significant consequences.
Dual licensing pitfalls
Implications of a licensee's failure to ask the right questions is playing out in a California court room in ongoing litigation between Artifex Software, Inc. ("Artifex") and Hancom, Inc. ("Hancom"). Artifex is the owner of a popular PDF software, an Adobe alternative, known as "Ghostscript." Complaint for 1. Breach of Contract, 2. Copyright Infringement & Demand for Jury Trial at ¶ 1, Artifex Software, Inc. v. Hancom, Inc., No. 3:16-cv-06982 (N.D. Cal. Dec. 5, 2016). Artifex offers Ghostscript under both a proprietary license, for those who wish to incorporate Ghostscript into a licensee's commercially distributed products, and under a GPL open source license. Id. In its complaint against Hancom, Artifex alleges that Hancom used and incorporated the freely available (GPL-licensed) version of Ghostscript into Hancom's own commercial software called "Hangul" and that Hancom then failed to abide by the corresponding obligations under the GPL license. Id. at ¶ 2.
Under the GPL, Hancom's use of Ghostscript required it to distribute the source of Hangul along with the product. Id. at ¶ 24. Distributing the source code for Hangul would clearly be to the great detriment of Hancom's ability to monetize their product. Artifex argues that Hancom's failure to distribute this source code breached Hancom's license to use and distribute Ghostscript under the GPL, triggering a termination of the license.[1] Id. at ¶ 25, 27. Hancom's refusal to cease its actions led Artifex to seek a legal remedy.
This case exemplifies the caution licensees must exercise and the questions a licensee must ask. Licensees must first ask whether a dual licensing model exists. If so, a licensee must then weigh the two license options and ask which set of underlying obligations inherent in the particular licensing option permits the licensee to use or incorporate the software in a way that fits the licensee's intended purpose. After selecting the licensing option that best aligns with the intended use, a licensee must be sure to ask if any future license obligations exist. Licensees subject to future license obligations should then work to implement a sensible plan to monitor and ensure license compliance.
A licensee must remember that just because software may be freely available, it does not mean there are no obligations. Unknowingly or negligently using software subject to a restrictive open source license such as the GPL may create unintended consequences for licensees who fail to understand the underlying obligations. A licensee prepared to ask the right questions is the most equipped to avoid compliance issue and avoid costly compliance failures.
[1] It is unclear if Hancom intentionally misused the GPL licensed Ghostscript or if Hancom simply was unaware of the infringing nature of their use of Ghostscript due to lack of awareness of which licensed version of Ghostscript Hancom was incorporating into their Hangul product. In either case, the end result is a breach of the GPL.

A Wish for an Electronic Piano!
MaKenna wished for a Piano. Her mom let us know how she is loving it.
"I wanted to let you know how thankful we continue to be for the blessing Cal's Angels provided for Makenna during her treatment. We were able to buy her an electronic piano and several lessons with the gift cards you sent. She is absolutely loving learning piano, and we have continued her in lessons. She is learning fast! Also, I don't know how many families you get to hear from after granting their wishes, but we are happy to share that Makenna finished her treatment for Wilms' in December and has had two clear scans since then!


Read an interview with the popular short story writer from Odisha, Debadatta Satpathy. Debadatta Satpathy has written, recently, a collection of short stories entitled Ghostbusters and Other Stories. The book has been received very warmly by the readers, book critics and top Indian book bloggers. In the conversation below, Debadatta Satpahy answers the questions of Amit Mishra, a contributor to Indian Book Critics. We hope you will like the interview.
Amit Mishra: Debadatta, why do you choose to write short stories and prefer it over all other genres of literature? Is there some definite reason? Please tell us.
Debadatta Satpathy: I was inspired from the very beginning by the short stories of Mr Manoj Das and especially the way he finishes the story by adding an element of surprise. In my view, short stories, if presented properly, are breezy and unputdownable, unlike a novel, where you have to keep the interest of a reader alive for 300 pages. There are so many facets of human life, all exciting yet distinctly different from each other. So the materials for writing short stories are quite large. However, you should have the good sense to put them in a thrilling way to amuse the reader.
Amit Mishra: Your book seems to generate the nostalgia or a kind of longing for the events which we (perhaps) could not live to the fullest when we actually lived it. This is a remark – do you think this is in the right direction? What was your purpose in writing those beautiful short stories?
Debadatta Satpathy: Every one of us long for those bygone days of school and college. Though hardly 10 years, they are fondly remembered. Each one of us must have met a lovable goon-like friend, a treacherous glib talking colleague and a rogue teacher. All of us have our childhood crushes. Sadly, time corrodes those gentle remembrances. Through my stories, I have tried to re-live that era, when 'on a high' meant the top of a mountain and not the effect of spirit and 'opening a window' implied seeing the azure sky and not Bill Gate's software. Right or wrong is for the reader to decide. But yes, I think I have put those sweet-sour incidences in the correct perspective.
Amit Mishra: Please share with us the first feedback that you have ever got for your book, Ghostbusters and Other Stories. Who gave it and what was it and what did it mean to you at that time?
Debadatta Satpathy: It came from Sravani, the daughter of 'Miranani', my cousin sister and one of the characters of "Ghostbusters". She is an MBBS and yet was extremely happy reading the stories of her mother's childhood. My book has been read by so many young students and everyone has loved it. That meant a lot to me as I was not very sure whether today's youngsters would appreciate stories of the 80's. I am pretty confident now that no matter during which age your stories are set if the content touches the heart of the reader, you have done your job. It's a misnomer that current generation only loves high voltage romances.
Amit Mishra: You have decided to keep your stories simple and genuine in the terms of emotions. Why didn't you think to use hidden narrative or the metaphors to present your points? And what are your views on the narrative which are rather clumsy and at times too much overdone?
Debadatta Satpathy: There are two ways of presenting a story: with hidden narratives and metaphors as you have suggested or to depict it as it is. If you go through my first book, "House of Bougainvillea and other stories", it's a celebration of metaphors. For "Ghostbusters", I have decided to be as plain and simple as possible. After all, the purpose is to entertain a reader and not to test his emotional intelligence too much. Maybe this way, some of the narratives appear to be clumsy. So it is a choice actually, using which way you can appeal a reader. Ultimately, he or she is the final arbiter.
Amit Mishra: Now that you are an author with two titles under your belt, how do you strike a balance between your career as an employee of senior rank and as a writer?
Debadatta Satpathy: Tough. Unlike the USA, here we do not have the freedom to chase your dream. But then, you have to strike a balance between your job and passion.
Amit Mishra: Do you also think that being an author gives you the chance to understand humanity and aspects related to it a little better? Does the author have an edge in the terms of thoughts than that of the readers? You seem to have captured it very well in your short stories.
Debadatta Satpathy: In my view, everybody understands it, only a few people bother to put it in a presentable format which can appeal a 3rd person. I will give you an example. Half of my colleagues have gone bald. It can appear funny to a hirsute guy, but getting bald is never a pleasurable experience for the victim. Keeping my own perspective in the background, I wrote a story "It's a bad, ba(l)d world" that appeared in "House of bougainvillaea and other stories". I thought it was quite humorous for I am still getting feedbacks even after 4 years. Or take the matter of a self-styled leader who hoodwinks his followers for selfish gains. Tell me, who has not come across such types of persons? But we just shrug and move on. I thought why not depict such a character in a story? So came "The absentee leader" in "Ghostbusters".
Amit Mishra: What are your views on the concurrent literature in India? Do you think there is a field of commercial literature which is emerging and the genuine literature has been pushed to some background?
Debadatta Satpathy: To an extent yes. But I will not blame commercial literature for that. In my view, the so-called "genuine" literature became too much of "genuine" for anybody's comfort. It took me 6 months to finish "Midnight's children", reading it day and night while referring the Oxford dictionary for every 2nd word. What's the use of such verbose tomes? In came Chetan Bhagat and his "Five-point-someone" became a game-changer. In my view, books have been brought to be "read" and not to be kept as show-pieces. That's why those "genuine" books have failed to excite the new generation.
Amit Mishra: How often do you love to write? Do you also write poetry? And have you written short stories in Odiya language too?
Debadatta Satpathy: Generally on holidays and morning hours. I have started collecting material for my third book, which I think will again be a collection of stories. No poetry for me as yet. And though I would have loved to write in Oriya, the reader-base is too small and so is publishing business. Maybe in future, I will think of it.
Amit Mishra: For our readers, when are you planning to come up with another collection of short stories? In the future, might we ever see a novel with your name?
Debadatta Satpathy: As I said, I have started collecting material for my third book, which most probably will again be a collection of stories. And yes, in future, I may go for novel writing, but certainly not a coffee-table classic.
Amit Mishra: Indian Book Critics Team congratulates you on your success and we wish you best for the further plans, dear Debadatta!
Debadatta Satpathy: Thank you very much.

The right FN 509 Midsize holsters enable you to carry this fine pistol all day concealed and comfortable. The wrong concealed carry holsters will cause your 509 Midsize pistol to print badly.
We design our FN 509 Midsize concealed carry holsters with a small footprint. A small footprint makes a concealment holster much easier to conceal and also much more comfortable.
Small holsters are more concealable for the same reason that a small pistol is more concealable. You have less material to hide under your shirt with a smaller footprint holster.
Whether you prefer FN 509 Midsize IWB holsters or OWB rigs, Clinger Holsters has plenty of concealment options for you. Our No Print Wonder is the smallest dual-clip holster you'll find for concealed carry. Plus it excels at concealment for reasons other than its small size. It uses our Cling Tab system to conceal your firearm better than you ever thought was possible.
The Cling Tab pulls the grip of your 509 Midsize in extremely close to your body. The Flex Tab flexes with your waist to allow the Cling Tab to pull the grip in close. The two tabs work together to get your pistol in close to your side. Getting the grip in close is the most important aspect of concealing a handgun. The grip is the hardest part to conceal.
The No Print Wonder converts into the Ultra-Conceal OWB holster. Our FN 509 Midsize OWB holsters conceal about as well as IWB holster. That's unheard of for OWB rigs. We accomplished this feat because the Ultra-Conceal OWB is based on the same platform as our flagship holster the No Print Wonder.
At Clinger, we want to give you plenty of options to wear your holster the way you want. That's why you can also convert the No Print Wonder into our Stingray holster.
The Stingray is perfect for concealing your FN if you want a convenient and easy to use concealed carry holster. The Stingray uses a single, sturdy belt clip to hold your pistol steady. Plus it has adjustable cant angle to adjust the cant angle from zero degrees to a forward cant.
A zero degree cant is perfect for concealing your FN in an appendix carry position. You can move the cant angle to a forward cant when concealing behind the hip. The Stingray is the perfect FN 509 Midsize Kydex holster.
So no matter what type of FN 509 Midsize holster you're looking for, Clinger has exactly what you need.

Tab Title Description
Study typeInterventional
Study phase1/2
Study IDs
Describes the nature of a clinical study. Types include:
Observational study — observes people and measures outcomes without affecting results.
Interventional study (clinical trial) — studies new tests, treatments, drugs, surgical procedures or devices.
Medical records research — uses historical information collected from medical records of large groups of people to study how diseases progress and which treatments and surgeries work best.
During the early phases (phases 1 and 2), researchers assess safety, side effects, optimal dosages and risks/benefits. In the later phase (phase 3), researchers study whether the treatment works better than the current standard therapy. They also compare the safety of the new treatment with that of current treatments. Phase 3 trials include large numbers of people to make sure that the result is valid. There are also less common very early (phase 0) and later (phase 4) phases. Phase 0 trials are small trials that help researchers decide if a new agent should be tested in a phase 1 trial. Phase 4 trials look at long-term safety and effectiveness, after a new treatment has been approved and is on the market.

Blank screen picked up at G+S Dye on Dundas.
After coating the screen with emulsion + shooting the image Dave Murray washes out the screen.
Tada! Screen ready to go.
Two years ago when I was in Berlin I was inspired by many good meals + beautiful murals to paint a series of food quotes in my sketch book. I am now finally getting around to making something with it! Today I got a screen made of the image and in the next two weeks I will be making both tea towels + silk screen prints with this image. Stay tuned for the final results.
