Algal blooms cost Ohio homeowners $152 million over six years

In a new study, researchers at The Ohio State University estimate algal blooms at two Ohio lakes cost Ohio homeowners $152 million in lost property value over six years.
Meanwhile, a related study suggests that algae is driving anglers away from Lake Erie, causing fishing license sales to drop at least 10 percent every time a bloom reaches a moderate level of health risk. Based on those numbers, a computer model projects that a severe, summer-long bloom would cause up to $5.6 million in lost fishing revenue and associated expenditures by anglers.
Those are the main findings from the first two studies ever to put a precise dollar value on algae impact, both on Lake Erie and two recreational lakes in Ohio. One study appears in the journal Ecological Economics, and the other in the Journal of Environmental Management.
"Our biggest takeaway is that efforts to prevent and mitigate algal blooms have real, tangible benefits for Ohioans, including property values," said Allen Klaiber, associate professor of agricultural, environmental and development economics at Ohio State.
In the first study, he and doctoral student David Wolf found that property values near two algae-infested lakes in the state's interior fell $152 million from 2009 to 2015. Sale prices for homes within one third of a mile of a lake fell 11 to 17 percent during that time, while prices for lake-adjacent homes fell more than 22 percent.
A number of additional factors that influence property values were included in the analysis to ensure that the observed losses in property values were directly attributable to changes in water quality. For example, seasonal trends in the housing market, differences in structural characteristics across homes, and spatially varying provision of public services such as school quality were all controlled for in the analysis.
Most of the losses were felt by residents around Buckeye Lake, just east of Columbus. There, residents collectively lost $101 million in home sales over six years. Grand Lake St. Marys in northwest Ohio felt a smaller but still significant loss of $51 million.
Turning to Lake Erie, the researchers teamed with doctoral student Will Georgic to examine state revenue from sport fishing, which contributes to a $1.7 billion tourism industry. They found that once algae levels reach a "moderate" threshold as described by the World Health Organization (WHO), fishing license sales within 12 miles of Lake Erie dropped 10 to 13 percent.
The researchers further simulated what would happen if a severe algal bloom—similar in extent to the one experienced in 2011 which covered 45 percent of the lake—struck Lake Erie today. In that case, the researchers projected that as many as 3,600 fewer recreational fishing licenses would be sold, and as much as $5.6 million in associated fishing expenditure would be lost in just one summer.
The researchers hope their work will give policymakers the information they need to address algae prevention and cleanup. For instance, the state of Ohio has already invested $26 million to clean up Grand Lake St. Marys, but that amount equals only a little more than half of the lost property value there.
The two studies are part of an ongoing project to gauge not only the costs and benefits of fighting algae, but also the public's algae tolerance: how much is too much, before people decide to buy homes or go fishing elsewhere?
As it turns out, people have a pretty low tolerance for algae. They devalued a lake property the moment the Ohio EPA announced that the water was unsafe to drink—the lowest warning level by WHO standards—even though the lakes included in the study were recreational and weren't used for drinking water. They began fishing elsewhere after the warning level rose to "moderate" risk for incidental ingestion of the water. In both cases, higher algae levels didn't seem to matter.
Wolf summed it up this way: "What seemed to matter most for property value was simply whether the algae levels were perceptible at all, not how bad they got after they became perceptible."
"People make decisions based on their perceptions, and they get their strongest perception of algae at the beginning, when they first see news stories about the water being unsafe to drink," Klaiber said. "And that poses a real challenge, because once a lake has an algae problem, it's really difficult to clean it up enough to make the algae imperceptible again. That's why we think the biggest 'bang for the buck' in regards to state policies would come from preventing algae levels from becoming perceptible in the first place."
For fishing, aesthetics definitely plays a role. At the "moderate" algae level, water becomes noticeably cloudy. And then there's the smell.
"People say it smells like sewage or rotten eggs," Wolf said. "You can't miss it."
"These are things that would not contribute positively to the aesthetics of your walleye trip," Klaiber added.
Ohio is one of the first states to compile this kind of data, because the Ohio EPA set up a special working group in 2008 to take precise measures of algal levels in Lake Erie and all major inland lakes.
Further, Ohio is a "public disclosure" state, meaning that financial information for all property transfers and sales are publicly available. Most Ohio county auditors posts the data on their websites, making it easy for anyone to access.
Klaiber and Wolf stressed that they didn't collect any information about who owned the houses they studied—just the property values, sale or transfer prices for properties that changed hands during the study period, and the distance from those properties to the affected lakes.

We are proud to have such a great community of Payara Server & Payara Micro users! Our application server users are spread all over the world and they range from small one-man bands and personal projects, to big corporations running Payara Server in mission-critical environments, both internal and customer-facing.
Payara Server was an obvious choice when support for GlassFish ended. All my favorite reference implementations are inside and the soul of GlassFish seems to be more alive than ever, but now it is known as Payara Server.
I'm using Payara Server as my favorite choice in my books, articles, blogs and so on. Now, I'm using Payara Server in a Spring Boot e-commerce application that is currently under development. The application will run as a WAR under Payara Server.
Payara Server is a perfect drop in replacement for GlassFish. What was most significant about replacing GlassFish for Payara Server was that remote testing went from 90 – 100 seconds down to 10 – 15 seconds. There was no need to look at any other servers. I had Payara Server deployed in my labs at Dawson and Concordia. My students no longer dread testing with its long waits.

No agreement between BPL, DBS yet
Latest News, Slider, Sports
Public broadcaster Botswana Television (BTV) might not be able to broadcast the start of the new Be Mobile Premier League season this weekend, with the Department of Broadcast Services and Botswana Premier League yet to commit to a new deal.
The previous agreement between the two parties elapsed at the end of last season, although it was revealed in last month's Annual General Meeting of the BPL, that talks were at an advanced stage and a new deal was set to be reached in a few days, nothing is yet to be put on paper.
In an interview with Gazette Sport, the Chief Executive Officer of the Premier League, Bennett Mamelodi revealed that the ongoing talks have yet to yield a final resolution despite once again promising of an agreement to be reached soon.
"We have not reached an agreement yet but everything will be done this week," shortly stated Mamelodi. The CEO could not disclose the cause of the prolonged talks.
Sources close to the development suggest it is the fees that have been set before the table that have got both parties reluctant to reach an agreement. This publication last month divulged that the BPL was expecting a P2 million increase to the P6million of the previous arrangements.
"The problem here is that, some feel prices are just being hiked, last season it was P6million and now they want more. Now we will see what happens in the next couple of days," said one source.
Should a new deal be reached, a few new developments would be expected to be in place. Some of the changes which are set to be brought by the new deal were the local broadcaster being able to change some of their broadcast schedules for live BPL matches during the week and to broadcast a few more matches played in the northern region of the country. Clubs would also be given footage of previous games which had not been the case in the previous years.
Meanwhile, the Premier League will stage the launch of the new league season later today (Tuesday), the CEO was coy on discussing some of the latest developments for the new season stating that they were "worth waiting for".

Original mod has been modified for compatibility-conflict resolution, mod-integration, and performance improvement by usafphoenix. v16 version is available on nekomancer's site. this fork for performance troubleshooting will no longer be maintained.
update 15.95 - "megafix" update.
1) check to see an item exists with a specific name that may have been (or may be) added by a different mod....If nothing exists that already has a specific name i checked, then cool, there shouldn't be any item-name collisions which have the nasty tendency of breaking recipes.
2) Add the item this mod adds so long as doing so won't obviously cause a recipe/item/technology conflict with another mod. Or disable the item in our mod because a similar item already is in the game.
3) Depending on what action was taken when processing the item.lua file, either create an entry in raw.data for the entity to match our item and the technology to unlock it, or skip over all that code like the item doesn't exist....because it won't.
Leave a note in comments if you have any ideas on this/suggestions.
update again: tweaks and some simple fixes v 15.94 mostly related to "oopsies"
Wasn't actually sure i'd be able to do this.
Electric poles, beacons, and roboport ranges seemed to be the cause. They have a configurable range now (but set a maximum to something that shouldn't result in lag. user experience may vary.
Note that config options have not been thoroughly tested to see if a certain selection or deselection will cause crashes, but please let me know if this is the case.
At first, i just wanted to make the mod LOAD along with a few other mods...then i decided to go ahead and see if i was able to fix the lag issue. All thanks to user, Nexela to pointing me in the right direction, and to bob for his code on altering technology pre-requisites. This mod does now require his library, as it was the easiest way for me to enable quick-enable/disable of large parts of the mod for debugging or user-preference. Also, Visualization parameters for beacons have been corrected to display the area they actually cover.
This is a fork of the original Darkstar Utilities mod and has been modified for compatibility and performance improvements. Most of the mod is configurable and the maximum-ranges for the beacons, power poles, and roboports this mod adds should all be within acceptable performance limitations of the game.
No authorship/ownership/liability is taken for either mods, and this is a release simply to enable play for users, or to assist in the original authors of Darkstar to see the changes i've made and help improve his mod.

Q: Rotate image based in centroid using the rotation matrix I found this article were this guys rotated one egg image using the centroid.
I found the centroid based in the OTSU image:
_, thr = cv2.threshold(grayscale, 0, 255, cv2.THRESH_BINARY + cv2.THRESH_OTSU)
moment = cv2.moments(thr)
if moment['m00'] !=0 :
    centroid = (int(moment['m10'] / moment['m00']), int(moment['m01'] / moment['m00']))
    cv2.circle(result, centroid, 3, (0, 255, 0), -1)
    showImage(result, "Centroid")

The reasearches recomends use the rotation matrix to rotate the image using the centroid:

Could you help me how use the rotation matrix using opencv?
This is my current method, recently I found the centroid:
Input images:

def showImage(img, titulo):
    plt.figure(figsize=(5,5))
    plt.title(titulo)
    plt.imshow(img)
    plt.show()

# Segmentar
imagePath = "images/sample1.jpeg"
image = cv2.imread(imagePath)
# convertir de formato BGR a RGB
image = cv2.cvtColor(image, cv2.COLOR_BGR2RGB)
original = image
# Mostrar imagen original
showImage(image, "Imagen Original")

#Aplicar filtro paso bajo (blur)
image = cv2.blur(image,(9,9),0)

# Convertir a HSV:
hsv = cv2.cvtColor(image, cv2.COLOR_BGR2HSV)
# Mostrar canal R el cual el huevo presenta mayor contraste
showImage(hsv, "hsv image")

# Convertir escala de grises el hsv
grayscale = cv2.cvtColor(hsv, cv2.COLOR_RGB2GRAY)
showImage(grayscale, "Escala de grises hsv")

# Aplicar binarización OTSU
_, thr = cv2.threshold(grayscale, 0, 255, cv2.THRESH_BINARY + cv2.THRESH_OTSU)

showImage(thr, "OTSU imagen")

# Poner máscara thr a la imágen original

result = cv2.bitwise_and(original, original, mask=thr)

showImage(result, "Imagen segmentada")

# Buscar centroide
moment = cv2.moments(thr)
if moment['m00'] !=0 :
    centroid = (int(moment['m10'] / moment['m00']), int(moment['m01'] / moment['m00']))
    cv2.circle(result, centroid, 3, (0, 255, 0), -1)
    showImage(result, "Centroid")

A: You can use the warp functions including warpAffine and warpPerspective in OpenCV. It seems that the warpAffine (affine transform) would be enough for your application. Anyway, you could simply use the below piece of code:
Point center = Point( image.cols/2, image.rows/2 );
Mat rot_mat = getRotationMatrix2D( center, angle, scale ); // rot_mat is 2x3 double matrix), you can set scale=1
Mat warp_rotate_dst;
warpAffine( image, warp_rotate_dst, rot_mat, image.size());

We're pleased to share another food review of The Radhuni this time by Edinburgh Live – a fantastic site covering everything on Edinburgh – News, Sport and Whats On in Edinburgh!
We ate at this "hidden gem" Indian restaurant near Edinburgh, and their amazing food blew us away.
If The Radhuni was based in Edinburgh city centre rather than just outside of town, you'd never be able to get a table.
It's honestly like the Tardis, if the Tardis served delicious south Asian food.
The Radhuni is absolutely gorgeous inside, it was way bigger than we were expecting.
The best lamb madras he'd ever eaten.
It was honestly one of the best veggie starters I've ever had.
It got the all-too-important vegan seal of approval.
It was definitely good value for money, given the flavour and quality of the food.
The Radhuni Chef wins Chef of the Year Award!
What you order is what you get!


With winter now in full swing, we are all bundling up against the cold and trying to stay as warm as possible. This may seem like a trivial thing that we do every here and then forget about, but there are many people in this country that don't have the luxury of putting on a warm jersey or even a pair of socks.
Considering how much clothing is bought every year, it is easy to assume that everyone has at least jersey, t-shirt, or a pair of track pants that we just don't wear anymore, and these charities will help you get it to someone who desperately needs it.
Aaron's Rock Your Socks is a charity started by Aaron, who is 8 years old, whose main goal is to ensure everyone has a warm pair of socks every day. Especially in winter, the charity aims to give the less fortunate some warmth during these cold days.
Nic Harry has donated many pairs of socks to this worthy cause, and even though it may seem simple, to the people Aaron and his charity are helping, this small gesture of receiving a fresh, new pair of socks, can make a world of difference.
The Clothing Bank is an incredible charity that has built connections and relationships with Woolworths, Mr Price, Pick n Pay, Clicks and the Foschini Group. These relationships allow the charity to receive the excess clothing from the end of season sales and returns.
The charity then sells this excess clothing at a discounted price to unemployed people, usually women, to allow them to start their own business and resell the clothing. Not only supporting unemployed people but allowing the less fortunate people to purchase new, good quality clothes at discounted prices.
Many people don't realise how useful their old clothing is for animal charities like the SPCA. It does not matter if you donate big or small, t-shirts or socks, these charities can turn your old clothing into beds and blankets for needy animals in these cold months.
Animal charities are often overlooked, and most people donate food. Obviously donating food is brilliant and everyone should keep donating bags or dry food or tinned food, but clothing can keep these animals warm during the long cold nights, as they often have to sleep outside.
Nkosi's Haven homes children who have HIV or who have lost parents to the disease. They house and feed these kids, often times for years, and like most charities, they are always in need of donations.
They not only take clothing but food, toys, bedding and furniture, anything that can help each child have a more comfortable stay and life. Even if it is just a jersey or a pillow, that is something a child may not have had to begin with.
Just Us For Children, in Durban, is a non-profit organization whose aim is to protect and take in children who have been the victims of any kind of abuse. Whether it be mental, physical or sexual, Just For Children's only goal is to get these children somewhere safe.
Like most charities, they require clothing, food, special care packages and school supplies. They are a great cause to donate to if you are living in Durban, and your donation will not be misused and will definitely be well received.
These charities can always do with more help and donations. If you are wanting to donate clothes, food, stationery or even just your time, you will be making the world of difference to at least one child.

Зой Павлович Зосима (; 1757, г. Янина — , Москва) — московский дворянин, нежинский грек, купец, коллекционер, меценат и благотворитель, почётный член многих научных обществ Европы и Российской империи. Среди современников был известен как «просвещённый грек».

Биография
В юности переселился в Нежин (Украина), где записался в Нежинское греческое братство. Позднее переехал в Москву, где успешно занимался торговлей вместе с шестью братьями (греческий источник приводит пять). После смерти старшего брата Феодосия в 1793 году Зосима решил использовать своё большое состояние на просвещение греков, а также развитие науки и образования в России.

Для помощи грекам Зосима учреждал учебные заведения, обеспечивал их необходимым оборудованием, выплачивал жалованья учителям и наставникам, стипендии для неимущих учеников, помогал бедным и укреплял греческое православие путём издания богословских книг, способствовал восстановлению чистоты и правильности греческого языка. Учреждённая им с братьями Зосимовская школа в Янине сыграла важную роль в греческом образовании во времена Оттоманской империи (и функционирует поныне). В Московской гимназии Зосима учредил на свои средства греческий класс, в Московской медико-хирургической академии содержал в течение ряда лет лектора греческого языка. Почти все греческие книги, напечатанные в Европе при жизни Зосимы, были изданы на его средства. Среди изданий, финансированных З. Зосимой, — греческая Библия, «Краткая история построения Нежинского Благовещенского монастыря» (М., 1815), «Новая полная практическая грамматика греческая», «Полный греческо-российский словарь».

Зосима знаменит рядом крупных пожертвований в пользу многих научных обществ и учебных заведений России. Например, при основании в Москве Практической коммерческой академии в 1810 году им было пожертвовано 20 тысяч рублей, Императорскому обществу испытателей природы пожертвовано более 6 тысяч рублей на публикацию трудов.

В 1812 г. в числе многих московских дворян пожертвовал 30 тысяч рублей для ополчения.

 уведомил попечителя Московского учебного округа А. А. Писарева о желании пожертвовать «дачу, находящуюся в Пресненской части на трех горах» (ныне Нововаганьковский переулок, 5), «Императорскому Московскому университету на устройство на оном месте Обсерватории, или на что другое полезное с Высочайшего утверждения Его Императорского Величества». Наследники, прежде всего брат Николай Павлович, исполнили пожелание покойного, и в 1831 г. здесь под руководством профессора Д. М. Перевощикова было завершено строительство Астрономической обсерватории Московского университета, а через сто лет, в 1931 году, на базе этой обсерватории был организован (впоследствии и ныне на другом месте) Государственный астрономический институт им. П. К. Штернберга.

Зосима собрал обширную коллекцию монет и медалей (около 18 000 единиц), которая считалась одной из лучших в Европе. Описание коллекции, сделанное профессорами Московского университета Р. Ф. Тимковским и Х. Ф. Маттеем, не сохранилось. Коллекция позднее была отправлена Николаем Зосимой в Афины, где в 1857 году стала основой Нумизматического музея.

Умер бездетным. Похоронен в некрополе  (Старое кладбище).

Семья
Отец — Хатзи-Панайот Зосима.

Братья — Иоанн, Михаил, Феодосий, Анастасий (?—1819), Николай; сёстры — Александра, Зоица, Ангелика.

We booked into the rose in vale after a very busy Christmas at home. My partner and i decided to push the boat and book the rose suite, this room is amazing! The room has a large separate sitting area, massive four poster bed and as for the bathroom is like having your own spa, there is a large spa bath which 2 people can comfortably share and if thats not enough you can go in the double monsoon shower with body jets! After our pampering session we went down to the lounge area where there was a lovely open fire lit, we enjoyed a very nice bottle of wine and then went through to the restaurant for dinner. The food was gorgeous and the staff were very friendly and helpful. We would definately recommend this hotel.

The Blenko Glassworker Apprenticeship
Over the past year, Blenko Glass has been working with the U.S. Department of Labor Office of Apprenticeship and the West Virginia Department of Economic Development to build and implement the first registered Glass Worker Apprenticeship in West Virginia.
The Glass Worker Apprenticeship consists of a blend of on-the-job training by Blenko Glass' master craftsmen, as well as additional, classroom instruction from a veteran glass artist and instructor who has been an artist-in-residence and instructor at the Corning Museum of Glass. The instructor has also worked around the world with numerous master glassmakers.
"The apprentice program at Blenko is critical to our mission of preserving West Virginia's glassmaking history," said Dave Wertz, Site Operations Director at Blenko Glass. "Without a constant stream of well trained apprentice glassworkers we are at risk of simply being snuffed out of the trade entirely."
This new registered apprenticeship is being announced during the 8th annual National Apprenticeship Week (NAW) that takes place Nov. 14-18, 2022. NAW is being held this year in honor of the 85th Anniversary of the National Apprenticeship Act.
NAW is a nationwide celebration where industry, labor, equity, workforce, education, and government leaders host nearly 1,000 events showcasing the value of Registered Apprenticeship for re-building our economy, advancing racial and gender equity, and supporting underserved communities.
The learn-and-earn model Apprenticeship is an industry-driven, high-quality career pathway where employers develop their future workforce, and individuals obtain paid work experience, classroom instruction and a nationally-recognized portable certificate for that occupation. Currently, there are 600,000 active apprentices in the United States. Thriving tech companies such as Amazon, Google, Intuit and IBM all have robust apprenticeship programs giving an increasing number of people a career pathway.
In West Virginia, which ranks 5th in the nation for apprenticeships per capita, there are now more than 5,000 active apprentices. While many WV apprentices are in skilled trades, there are also many apprenticeships in emerging sectors from IT and aerospace to brewing, healthcare, and meat cutting. West Virginia was the second state to implement a teachers apprenticeship called Grow Your Own, a trend now developing around the country to address teacher shortages.

Port of Spain: Off to a perfect start by winning the lone Twenty20 game of the tour, a second-string India will have to shift gears quickly and now brace up for an ODI battle against the depleted West Indies in a five-match series starting on Monday.
India are without the services of Sachin Tendulkar, regular captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni and pace spearhead Zaheer Khan, who have all been rested, in addition to the ill Yuvraj Singh, and the injured duo of Virender Sehwag and Gautam Gambhir.
But led by Suresh Raina, the Indians have made a confident start to the tour by easing past the hosts by 16 runs in the lone Twenty20 match yesterday.
Raina, who claims to have learnt a lot about captaincy from Anil Kumble, Rahul Dravid and Dhoni, marshalled the young side well and they hardly showed any nerves while outplaying the Caribbeans desperately missing a certain Chris Gayle.
The man who set the IPL alight with his lusty hitting is a pariah in West Indies cricket right now due to his outbursts against the Board, reduced to a mere spectator at least for the first two ODIs.
Gayle's absence takes the zing out of West Indies' already brittle batting line-up and the Indians couldn't have asked for more.
"West Indies have players like Gayle missing," Raina has already pointed that out.
thanks a lot for link..


Stock market analysis enables traders and investors to recognise the primary value of a stock even before investing in it. Analysing and evaluating the history and current information of different markets can help traders make informed decisions. With India's gross domestic product (GDP) rising from $414 billion in 2001 to $1.3 trillion in 2010, there has been a simultaneous increase in the business capitalisation of the Indian corporations from $165 billion in 2001 to $1.3 trillion in 2010. However, the growth in the share market hasn't been consistent over the years, and that's why there is a dire need for stock market analysis in the current market scenario.
Conducting research before selecting an investment medium and the capital to invest is vital to gain good returns. Doing so can help an investor clear all the assumptions and determine the value and anticipated performance of an investment. Following share market tips is ideal to ensure that you are making an investment that'll give you excellent returns. For instance, before purchasing, be it a phone or a car, you tend to do research about its quality and performance. The same rule applies to an investment.
If you invest in an equity, you buy a certain portion of a company which will probably earn you profits when there is a rise in the valuation of the company. With stock market analysis, you can ascertain whether a share is overpriced or fairly priced. Equity traders and short-term investors perform share market analysis and make an investment decision depending on the result of the analysis for better returns. By utilising stock analysis, traders can ascertain which is a good company to invest in based on its market value, earnings, revenues, share price, the company's management and financial standing.
There are two major types of stock analysis: Fundamental analysis and technical analysis. These analyses are helpful for interpreting the share market in their respective way.
Fundamental analysis is a method of studying a company at a basic financial level. This type of analysis reviews the principal ratios of a company to ascertain its financial strength and also give an understanding of the value of its share. Fundamental analysis takes various factors into account such as macroeconomic, asset management, market outlooks, revenue, and interest rates of a company. If you don't intend to perform a thorough fundamental analysis, it is always good to understand the key terms and ratios to follow stock market accurately.
Compared to fundamental analysis which concentrates on obtaining a company's "true value," technical analysis focuses on the research of past market performance to predict the future price valuation of a share. Technical analysts investigate the financial market as a whole and are essentially concerned with volume and price. Graphs are an essential instrument for technical analysis as they present an illustration of a share's development over a certain period of time.
Both fundamental and technical analysis can be done separately or collectively. Some analysts utilise both the methods, while some stick to just one. Either way, using stock analysis to vet stocks, and market industries is an outstanding way of building the best investment plan for a portfolio.
Most of the analysts use advanced share market analysis tools to perform technical analysis. These investment tools are beneficial in rendering information on prediction and additional valuable data that can support a share buying decision. For new traders or fresh investors, it becomes quite important to use such tools in order to research accurately, and analytical softwares can help in managing the analytical activity on a share trader's behalf. Recently, these share trading tools have developed in popularity as they've become more accessible on a consumer-based level.
Share market analysis tools are one of the most powerful ways in which an investor can ensure good returns from an investment. There are plenty of small and medium-level investors and large multinational corporations that employ stock analysis software and tools. The applications work by strategising and designing graphs/charts for interpreting data and simplifying the decision-making process. They also give share market advice that can be utilised by the traders for selecting a profitable share.
If you're a stock market investor, then it's imperative for you to stay updated with the current market movements. From monitoring the real-time valuation of a stock, creating a virtual portfolio, designing stocks graphs, to tracking market trends; everything must be up-to-date. When you invest in a proper manner, it can be a confirmation of a good return on your investment. Before investing in the stock market you must know the basic techniques, technicalities and strategies of stock investment. So good luck and invest wisely!

Interview: Apple CEO Steve Jobs on How the iPhone Does and Doesn't Use Location Information
Apple CEO Steve Jobs said Wednesday that the iPhone database that people have assumed was their personal information was, in fact, the relevant chunk of a global crowdsourced database that the company uses to deliver location-based information.
"We haven't been tracking anyone," Jobs said in a telephone interview with Mobilized on Wednesday. "The files they found on these phones, as we explained, it turned out were basically files we have built through anonymous, crowdsourced information that we collect from the tens of millions of iPhones out there."
Last week, researchers drew attention to a file on iPhones that contained a trove of location data stretching back months, and concerns grew that the iPhone was keeping a record of everywhere it had been. Jobs reiterated that hasn't been the case and highlighted Apple's strict policies regarding how location information is used. The company did find a bug was leading this data cache to be stored even on phones that have location data turned off and pledged to fix that in a future update as well as to keep a smaller amount of data stored on the phone.
Jobs declined to comment on the practices of other companies, including Google, but stressed that Apple requires users to turn on location-based information and allow it for each application. It also gives people a way to see which applications have been using such information both at the time and over the past 24 hours.
Earlier on Wednesday, Apple issued a statement, noting that it isn't tracking iPhone users' locations, but acknowledging some bugs in the way location information has been collected and stored. It promised to change some of its practices in forthcoming software updates.
Jobs said that the tech industry hasn't done a good job of educating users on what has been a fairly complicated issue.
"As new technology comes into the society there is a period of adjustment and education," Jobs said. "We haven't–as an industry–done a very good job educating people, I think, as to some of the more subtle things going on here. As such, (people) jumped to a lot of wrong conclusions in the last week."
He said Apple looks forward to testifying before Congress and other regulatory bodies and said the company will do what it can to clarify things further.
"I think Apple will be testifying," Jobs said. "They have asked us to come and we will honor their request, of course."
Jobs also said it will be interesting to see how aggressively the press tracks the issue and looks at what other players in the industry do.
"Some of them don't do what we do," Jobs said. "That's for sure."
Jobs was joined in the interview by fellow Apple executives Scott Forstall and Phil Schiller. I'll have a more detailed post with comments from all three executives up shortly.

TC 3867 was built on 22 October 1947 and first registered on 5 November 1947. The engine number is over-stamped on the original plate with A 42352 indicating that a reconditioned engine was fitted late on during production.
JNA 362 spent its early years in and around Manchester and the North West before a stay in Devon and finally ending up in the North East. Initially green, the car was painted white and subsequently hand brushed red before a full red respray in 2005.
A comprehensive history file with the car shows that it was used initially as daily transport. However, as with many TCs, it took on a dual personality in the 1950s as a daily commuter during the week but used for motorsport at weekends. JNA 362 began competing in trials in the early 1950s, a DVD video shows the car being enthusiastically driven in the MGCC North West Trials in the early 1950s. During the fifties and sixties, the car went through a succession of owners in and around the Liverpool/Manchester area, its condition slowly deteriorating until it was bought in 1972 for £85.00 as a non-runner and went racing again with its first event being at Oulton Park in July 1976. There are photos of the car racing throughout the late seventies, including competing in the Curborough Sprint in August 1978. However, when subsequently sold in 1980 the car was laid-up for the next twenty-five years.
In 2003 the car was bought by an MG specialist where it underwent mechanical fettling before passing its MOT first time and being put back on the road for its first outing on New Year's Day 2004 when it covered what was described as an uneventful 70 miles. The same specialist, when advertising the car for sale in March 2005, enthused that the car "featured extensively in magazines of the period and is now back exactly as it was when it was raced as a quick, well-engineered road car with various engine and other mods, a real time warp car".
A new owner in March 2005 bought the car with the intention of a little light cosmetic work. This inevitably turned into a full restoration with new body tub, rewiring, re-chroming and a bare metal respray. However, after all this work the car was little used and was again laid up for another eight years to be subsequently bought by the current owner, Ian Forrester, in 2013.
The car was once again needing some work so Ian decided a light mechanical restoration was required to bring it back to full roadworthy condition but, as with these things, it soon became apparent that there was more to this than originally thought. Having stood for so many years, the suspension had sagged and the brakes were very poor; the car also leaked everywhere that it was possible to do so. The engine ran roughly and was unreliable making nasty noises if driven any length of time. The engine went through a number of head gaskets very quickly in the first two years of ownership and on one occasion the engine rear core plug burst showering very hot water over an unfortunate passenger's feet.
Keen to retain as much of the racing configuration as possible, the engine was dismantled and rebuilt retaining much of the original bits. Unfortunately, this simply led to major reliability issues again and a well-known MG specialist was finally called upon to rebuild the engine to sort out the major problems of poor oil pressure and massive overheating. It seemed that the way the car was set up was good for racing but wasn't good for modern road use.
During the rebuild it was found that the engine had been re-bored twice to 1350 cc and then 1410 cc. The head had been worked extensively providing very high compression and this was the cause of many of the problems. Consequently, to build in more reliability for the road, the head was swapped for a more standard unit with lesser compression and the exhaust manifold was treated to a ceramic coating to dissipate the engine heat more effectively. A new race exhaust was also fitted, the original having dropped off during testing! Other work saw modifications and upgrades throughout the car to provide reliability and comfort for touring.
Today the car retains its racing feel but is fully road legal. Completely reliable again after its second full restoration, it is quick and can keep up with modern traffic easily. Ian has tried to retain some of the patina and history in the car – the radiator shroud still has the scuff marks on either side from when the vehicle was towed at some point in the past – although the paintwork is still in excellent condition and a tribute to the painter who sprayed the car back in 2005. Driving the car is typically TC but accompanied by a crisp exhaust note. It is finally used and enjoyed as it should be by Ian whenever possible.

, sous-titré , est un guide d'opéras compilé par le critique américain Gustav Kobbé et publié pour la première fois à titre posthume en 1919 aux États-Unis par G. P. Putnam's Sons, puis en 1922 en Europe.

Histoire

Les critiques de Kobbé ont été rassemblées pour publication par Katherine Wright. Au fil des années l'ouvrage a été remanié et augmenté du fait de l'apparition de nouvelles œuvres ou de nouveaux compositeurs. Plusieurs ajouts ont ainsi été faits par Ferruccio Bonavia, avant la plus importante révision qui a été effectuée en 1954 par le comte de Harewood et publiée sous le titre . La participation de Harewood fait suite à une critique négative du livre qu'il a publiée dans son magazine  ; en réponse, l'éditeur lui a proposé de prendre en main l'édition de l'ouvrage. Apparaissent ainsi des compositeurs emblématiques du  tels que Benjamin Britten, George Gershwin ou Gian Carlo Menotti. Harewood continuera son travail de révision sur plus de quarante ans, dirigeant plusieurs rééditions entre 1954 et 1997, la dernière en collaboration avec .

L'ouvrage a été publié pour la première fois en français en 1980 chez Robert Laffont (collection « Bouquins ») sous le titre Tout l'opéra, de Monteverdi à nos jours, la plus récente édition  datant de 2019.

Appelé la plupart du temps tout simplement Kobbé par antonomase, ce guide du mélomane, à mi-chemin entre le dictionnaire et l'encyclopédie, recense dans un langage simple près de cinq cents opéras détaillés : distribution, dates et interprètes des principales représentations, analyse acte par acte, voire scène par scène. Après différentes présentations, les œuvres sont aujourd'hui regroupées par compositeur (ordre alphabétique puis chronologique).

Your pouch should be at least 1/8" larger on all four sides than the item you're laminating. We sell specially-sized pouches for business cards and other small items; for larger items, you can use a large laminating pouch and then trim it down to size (again, leaving 1/8"border on each side).

Manan Vohra, the Kings XI Punjab batsman, is delighted to be in the India A limited-overs squad that will tour Australia this summer. The team will contest a quadrangular tournament also featuring Australia A, South Africa A and the Australian National Performance squad. Vohra had a very good IPL and scored crucial runs for his team, ensuring that they got to the final.
He added, "I haven't played too many first-class games but I try to make it count. Representing India in Tests is my ultimate goal but that doesn't mean I don't like other formats. I am looking to do well in Australia and in the coming first class season. I am keen to grab whatever opportunity comes my way," said Vohra, who also scored more than 400 runs in six Ranji Trophy games this season.

We evaluate the detection performance of several commercial interference detectors and of a detector that uses the automatic gain control (AGC) level as a test statistic. The evaluations are based on actual measurements of GPS signals and different types of jamming signals, and were performed at the Vidsel test range in northern Sweden.The AGC detector and the Chronos CTL-3500 were shown to work well for all types of jamming signals. The J-alert was able to detect a wideband (20 MHz) signal but not the narrow band (<2 MHz) signals. By contrast, the jamming indicator on a Ublox 6H receiver was only able to detect a slowly varying modulated CW signal, but not signals with larger bandwidth (>2 MHz). We confirmed that C/N0-based Android application detectors could work well in static scenarios but are not suitable in dynamic scenarios, since they cannot distinguish between decreased GPS signal strength and increased interference

It is well known that terrestrial GPS/Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) receivers are vulnerable and have suffered from intentional and unintentional interference sources. Unfortunately, space-based GPS/GNSS receivers are not exempt from radio frequency interference originating from the Earth. This paper explores data recorded by the GNSS Receiver for Atmospheric Sounding (GRAS) instrument onboard MetOp-A in September 2007, which is assumed to be representative of the typical environment for GPS/GNSS instrumentation in LEO orbit. Within these data it is possible to detect both pulsed interference and variations in the background noise. One plausible source of the pulsed interference is identified. We also show that neither the pulsed interference nor the variations in the background noise degrades the performance of the higher level products from GRAS.

In this work, we evaluate the detection performance of a number of commercial interference detectors and, in addition, of a detector that uses the automatic gain control (AGC) levels as test statistic. The AGC detector has been implemented on a Novatel GPS receiver and on a Universal Software Radio Peripheral (USRP). The evaluations are based on actual measurements of GPS signals and different types of jamming signals, which have been performed at the Vidsel test range in northern Sweden. The AGC detector was shown to work well for all types of jamming signals, in particular the one implemented on the USRP. The Chronos CTL-3500 was also shown to perform quite well for all kinds of signals, although not as good as the USRP with an AGC detector. Quite surprisingly, the J-alert was only able to detect the wideband (20 MHz) signal but not the narrow band (<2MHz) signals. By contrast, the jamming indicator on the Ublox 6 receiver was only able to detect a slowly varying modulated CW (MCW) signal, but not the signals with larger bandwidth (2 and 20 MHz). We confirmed that C/N0-based detectors could work well in a static scenario, but are not suitable in a dynamic scenario, since they cannot distinguish between decreased GPS signal strength (e.g. indoors) and an increased interference level.

GNSS reflectrometry offers a low cost alternative for Earth remote sensing and is used to measure, for example, ocean altimetry, wind speed, wind direction and modeling of the ocean surface state. A bistatic configuration, using one right-handed circular polarized and one left-handed circular polarized antenna, was built for this experiment in order to measure direct and reflected L1 and L5 signals. The direct and reflected signals were compared and the path difference between them calculated, leading to altitude measurements with both L1 and L5 signals. Compared to publicly available signals on L1, the higher code rate of L5 will provide higher measurement sensitivity

A component of most GPS receiver front-ends, the automatic gain control (AGC) can flag potential jamming and spoofing attacks. The detection method is simple to implement and accessible to most GPS receivers. It may be used alone or as a complement other anti-spoofing architectures. This article presents results from a baseline AGC characterization, develos a simple spoofing detection method, and demonstrate the results of that method on receiver data gathered in the presence of a live spoofing attack.

How does the GPS Ll spectrum look like at a commercial airport? How frequently do radio frequency interference (RFI) incidents occur? To answer this, the GPS Ll/Galileo El band was monitored at two different airports for an extended period of time. The monitor stations continuously recorded the noise level using the automatic gain control (AGC) in the frontend. Also, the raw intermediate frequency (IF) signal was recorded at regular intervals as well as when the AGC level dropped below a certain threshold. In this paper the analysis of long-term measurements of the spectrum and AGC level at Luleå Airport outside Luleå, Sweden, and Kaohsiung International Airport in Kaohsiung City, Taiwan, is presented. The results shows that RFI incidents did occur at both airports, although more frequent at Kaohsiung International Airport. The measurements also show that the AGC level is useful in systems monitoring the RFI environment. Importantly, the measured data could be utilized for analyses toward the future introduction of GBAS for civil aviation authorities.

Although GNSS RF signal simulators have long possessed the capability to generate scenarios they are, for example, not yet able to model a realistic scenario with complex multipath. Software defined receivers bridge the gap between simulated and real data to the extent that they may offer a replay capability, where a data set is first recorded to disk and later can be processed several times. Unfortunately, the recorded data generally can not be used by other GNSS receivers, making receiver to receiver comparisons difficult and time consuming.This paper describes a system capable of replaying recorded IF data into any narrow bandwidth L1 GNSS receiver, including an evaluation of the difference (position, timing and SNR) between live and replayed data using a high sensitivity, consumer grade receiver. The performance of the replayed data set was found to match that of the live data.

There have already been a number of well documented cases where the GNSS signals have been interfered by different sources. A number of different methods has been developed to counteract this. One problem with doing experiments to validate the accuracy of interference detection system is that the GPS L1 band is protected, therefore it is difficult to get permission to deliberately broadcast on those frequencies. In this paper we present a novel way to test such a system. The proposed method will be validated by deploying a number of low cost nodes and then an attempt to localize the interference will be made.

Researchers at the university of Colorado have successfully used radio frequency record-and-playback systems (RPS) have gathered importance commercially because it offers the best way to test hardware receivers. RPS constitutes a stark contrast to more traditional signal simulators that use pre-defined trajectories and mathematical models to determine appropriate RF output. Positioning performance of a satellite navigation receiver under test (RUT) is coupled with its RF front-end system and local oscillator quality. The required equipment and connections are minimal when performing RPS drive testing, as no RUTs are included. It overcomes the fidelity limits of simulator-based testing, especially when considering the difficult-to-model urban environment. During receiver development, it requires only a single drive test for each location, as sampled RF data can be replayed from disk

The GNSS signals are very weak and therefore sensitive to interference. Since the usage of GNSS based services continues to increase, there is a need to develop a cost effective method to detect and localize interference sources. In this paper one such system will be presented. The system uses independent front ends that collects raw IF data. After the collection is done, the files are synchronized in time and frequency so that they can be cross correlated and the time difference of arrival of the interference signal is estimated. This paper will present the initial results from a test in May 2009 where the four stations were deployed and exposed to interference. It will be shown that the system is capable of both detection and localization of wide band interference.

Can you help us encourage your political representative Alex Hawke MP?
Recently Alex Hawke MP of Mitchell has spoken on tax avoidance and we'd like to tell them the importance of Australia's role in overcoming poverty.
The bill doubles the maximum administrative penalties that can be applied by the Commissioner of Taxation to large companies that enter into tax avoidance and profit-shifting schemes. It will deter multinationals from entering into contrived tax avoidance and profit-shifting schemes.
You can read the whole speech here.
More than $1 trillion each year is robbed from developing countries through tax dodging, corruption and money-laundering. The IMF recent estimates found that $200 billion in potential revenue is stripped from developing nations and the world's most needy by tax avoidance alone. We can help stem this tide and ensure that the poorest nations have the finances & tax revenues they need to fight poverty.
Whenever a politician engages with the issues we all care passionately about, it's important to encourage, thank, or even challenge them. It doesn't mean we support that politician, or endorse everything they say. But if they don't hear from passionate people in their electorate when they do speak up, it's easy for them to give up, get cynical, or assume their electorate doesn't care about tax avoidance and Australian aid.
After sending an email to Alex Hawke MP you can send them a quick tweet or share on facebook what they said by clicking the buttons below.


The invites are for all CEOs and CMOs from qualifying brands who are seen mobile & new technology (blockchain, AI, IoT,…) as a key accelerator to itself business in perspectives of marketing and growth; and deeply undersanding of digital marketing through daily on basic marketing activities.

Angela Hewitt (26 juli 1958, Ottawa) is een Canadese pianiste.

Ze is afkomstig uit een muzikale familie en begon reeds op driejarige leeftijd piano te studeren. In 1985 won ze de Toronto International Bach Competition. Het was de start van een jarenlange fascinatie voor de muziek van Bach. Ze heeft in een tien jaar lopend project al de belangrijkste klavierwerken van Bach opgenomen en is een van de meest vooraanstaande Bachvertolksters. Haar discografie omvat ook werken uit de Franse barok (Couperin, Rameau), de Italiaanse Barok (Scarlatti), Beethoven en de Duitse romantiek (Schumann), en Franse componisten uit de twintigste eeuw (Messiaen, Ravel).

Ze startte haar eigen muziekfestival, het Trasimeno Music Festival, waarop ze internationaal vermaarde artiesten uitnodigt.

Hewitt maakte sinds 2002 gebruik van een piano die was gebouwd in de Faziolafabriek in Sacile ten noordoosten van Venetië. Deze unieke F278 Fazioli, voorzien van vier pedalen, werd zwaar beschadigd in januari 2020 tijdens een verhuizing. De piano kon niet worden hersteld volgens Paolo Fazioli, de oprichter van de fabriek.

After running the Jazz successfully over the past week, does Donovan Mitchell have a future at point guard?
Ricky Rubio was a full participant in Jazz practice on Sunday for the first time since injuring his hamstring in Milwaukee back on Jan. 7. With Rubio, Dante Exum, and Raul Neto all having simultaneously missed significant time the past few weeks, though, Donovan Mitchell has had no choice but to take on more of the roles traditionally associated with "point guards," such as ballhandling and directing the offensive sets.
Considering the Jazz have won six straight games, though, has Mitchell shown enough in the role these past few games that, if Rubio suffered some kind of long-term setback, he could simply take over?
Or, what if it didn't have to be out of necessity? As some Jazz fans have wondered during Rubio's absence, with the Spaniard set to be an unrestricted free agent this summer, might there be consideration given to simply turning the role over permanently to the Louisville product?
Has Mitchell proved to be someone capable of handling the role on a full-time basis, in the vein of a scoring point guard like, say, Damian Lillard, who, coincidentally, will be visiting Vivint Smart Home Arena on Monday night with the Portland Trail Blazers?
To a man, the Jazz have credited Mitchell with stepping out of his comfort zone and taking on more responsibility, noting the impact he's had in keeping things running during the winning streak.
So, is that good enough?
Those numbers won't remind any Jazz fans of John Stockton, certainly, but then, nobody is expecting that these days, either.
Fair enough, though there have been some significant variations.
Per the statistical and situational analysis site NBA WOWY, the Jazz's season-long team offensive rating with Donovan as point guard is 104.9, vs. 108.9 with him as the shooting guard.
Further, as Snyder likes to point out, Mitchell as "pure point guard" is something of a red herring anyway; the coach likes to employ a system of "primary" and "secondary" ballhandlers, making liberal use of Joe Ingles being the orchestrator (as he was this past Wednesday vs. the Clippers), while others such as Jae Crowder or Royce O'Neale or even rookie Grayson Allen take turns bringing the ball up the court and initiating.
And indeed, when Mitchell has taken the court without Ingles during this stretch, the team's offensive rating dips to 100.5; but when they're playing simultaneously, it jumps all the way to 118.5.
For his part, Mitchell acknowledges it's an imperfect fit at the moment, but that he's simply been doing the best he can to get the team by.
Mitchell does concede that having the ball in his hands more has empowered him to play more aggressively, as he now has a better understanding of where his looks can come from within the Jazz's schemes. And he also said he has "gotten to the point where I feel mentally comfortable," mostly because he's become better at knowing where the four teammates on the court with him are going and what precisely they'll be doing.
For what it's worth, Snyder was a bit taken aback at that revelation.
About the Jazz • Point guard Ricky Rubio, who injured his hamstring on Jan. 7, was a full participant in Sunday's practice. … Utah is coming off a 115-99 victory over Cleveland on Friday, the team's sixth straight victory and a game in which they led by as many as 38 points. … The Jazz are up to fourth in the NBA now for season defensive rating, at 104.4.
About the Trail Blazers • Portland is coming off a 128-112 victory over New Orleans on Friday. … Portland ranks second in the NBA in rebounds per game (48.1) and third in free-throw percentage (81.5). … Weber State product Damian Lillard leads the team in both scoring (26.1) and assists (6.1). He is also shooting 37.8 percent from deep.
