Former law professor appointed Cleveland housing court judge
Celia Wan, News Editor
Ronald O'Leary, former adjunct professor and alumnus of Case Western Reserve University School of Law, was appointed on March 14 by Ohio Governor John Kasich as the Cleveland Housing Court judge.
O'Leary will preside over the Cleveland Housing Court, replacing Ray Pianka, who passed away suddenly at the beginning of the year. He will officially take over the position on April 10.
O'Leary came to CWRU to pursue his degree in law after graduating from Miami University. One of his former teachers, Professor Emeritus Jonathan Entin, remembered him as a "very good student" who "was very conscientious and motivated."
"He asked good questions that showed how much he was thinking about difficult issues," said Entin.
After graduating from CWRU, O'Leary worked as an assistant city prosecutor for six years before he returned to CWRU as an adjunct professor. According to Entin, who was then the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs at the law school, O'Leary's experience in private law firms and public services was what got him the teaching position.
"[O'Leary] was an ideal person for one of those positions: he has experience in law firms, in public service, and as a municipal judge," wrote Entin in an email.
At CWRU, O'Leary taught the first-year skills course for eight years while also practicing law at the Cleveland Municipal court and later in private law firms. In the course, O'Leary introduced students to professional skills in law practising such as interviewing and counseling clients.
O'Leary's predecessor, Pianka, had served on the Cleveland Housing Court for 21 years. His death was regarded as "an enormous loss" by Entin. As O'Leary has always held an interest in community development issues and has experience in Cleveland's building and housing department, Entin is very positive about his takeover of the position.
"Ron O'Leary is a superb choice as Judge Pianka's successor," wrote Entin in the same email. "He will do the job in his own way."

Very good and educational journal. Interesting articles and book reviews that attract reading. From a Swedish reader's perspective, sometimes too much emphasis on places in the UK for tips on travel destinations and events.

Quality Stucco makes old exteriors look new!
Stucco and stone is installed directly over the existing siding - wood, brick, concrete or metal, offering minimum inconvenience to the homeowner. First a grade "D" 2-ply black paper water barrier is applied, followed by 20-gauge wire mesh - or the wire can be installed over a layer of sheet foam for additional insulation. A base coat of portland cement with fiberglass "E" is applied and left to cure for seven days. The finish coat of stucco is skillfully applied by trowel, in a texture selected by the customer. The entire process takes about two weeks. Call today for a free estimate!


Meek Mill gives a taste of "Dreamchasers 4" via Instagram videos.
Meek Mill is vying for a comeback. The rapper flooded our Instagram feed last night with multiple video posts, as he rapped along to new material from his forthcoming Dreamchasers 4 mixtape. The Dreamchasers mixtape series is really what put Meek over the edge initially, so maybe he'll take things back real quick with DC4?
The Philly native posted six Instagram videos, with his usual amount of bravado and energy yelling. One of the records he previewed actually features YG.
We don't have many details on Dreamchasers 4 just yet, however the promotion has begun, so stay tuned. Catch the Instagram videos below and let us know what you think-- is DC4 going to top DC3?


i'm posting this to let other travelers know what to expect when booking the hampi to gokarna private bus. we traveled with it two weeks ago, so the experiences are still fresh.
there are two lines operating:" paulo",from hospet and "inland" from the other side of the river in hampi. i booked mine with the travel agent across from mowgli hotel (ganesh travels, ,i believe), who claims to be the inland bus operator. we traveled with the" paulo" bus from hospet as the bus from hampi was booked out.
the price was 900 rs., which the booking agent promised, would include a drop off at your chosen destination: either gokarna town, om beach or kudlee beach.
we met the first annoyance when we arrived in hospet and heard from the bus operator there that we had been over charged 100 rs. by ganesh travels in hampi.
many travelers were also surprised to find out the bus will only take them as far as ankola, where traveling will be resumed by a minibus.
the ride to Ankola was incredibly uncomfortable, to put it mildly, we often found ourselves suspended in mid air before a hard landing on the sleeper bed. the seats are better. our driver/conductor also managed to get himself into a fist fight with a truck driver. toilet stops were just by he side of a busy, dangerous road without any toilet, but the real drama started in Ankola, around 2.30am, where we were met by the rudest man i've come across in years, who told us that contrary to what was promised to us, we had to pay 80 rs. extra per head if we wanted to be dropped at either om or kudlee beach. there were families with children and older couples that had to squeeze into the little minibus, while the rude operator counted his money and ordered them to get on the bus. some had to stand for 45 minutes. i'm in my mid forties, and never before, in all my travels have i met such blatant rudeness as this man expressed. It is for that experience alone, that i think this bus is better avoided.
there were 8 of us left for kudlee beach and we were dropped off at a far distance from the beach at around 4 am, in pitch dark. i've visited kudlee before and asked the driver to take to a closer location to the beach, but he refused. he dropped us there and tossed empty water bottles after us and out of his minibus. we were lucky to find our way and arrive safely in the end.
to conclude this story i would advise people to think twice before booking that bus, despite the shorter travel time and opt for the train instead . it's just not worth it.


The best way to experience the Edisto is to seek out the quiet, unobtrusive path provided by small boat or kayak. To put into the river at some remote landing paddle in hand and a nice lunch packed away ensures the true seizing of the day and the promise of sights previously unseen and the continual mystery of what lies just around the next bend. Swampy creeks and forgotten oxbows challenge the borders of your known world and white sandbars, kissed by the clear river beckon you to stop and enjoy the sound of birds and the chill of a river that always seems cool even in the hottest seasons.
Recently, my friends and I paddled several sections of the Edisto. We were rewarded, as always, by the both the natural world and the good company of like-minded people. Rope swings can be found at intervals along the river banks and though it is all play-at-your-own-risk, provided welcome diversion from the world of email, iPhones and the weekly world news.
There may not be an app for adventure, but you will find it on the Edisto River no matter what.

Q: Reset row of switches in Jetpack compose I have a page with a row of switches. I save the state of each row inside the composable using remember. And I update the ViewModel about the status only when the user navigates back from the page.
Now, I have a reset button at the top app bar which allows the user to reset all the user selections. Since Reset is at the upper level compose, I can't enforce the state change to the rows as the values are stored using remember. What would be the best strategy here to recompose the rows to the original state when the user clicks the reset button?
Here is the screen that I am implementing,

My Switch row compose
@Composable
fun SwitchRow(
    name: String,
    checked: Boolean,
    onToggle: (name: String, checked: Boolean) -> Unit
) {

    var checkedState by remember { mutableStateOf(checked) }

    Surface(
        modifier = Modifier.heightIn(min = 56.dp)
    )
    {
        Row(
            modifier = Modifier.padding(horizontal = 16.dp),
            verticalAlignment = Alignment.CenterVertically,
        ) {
            Text(text = name, modifier = Modifier.weight(1f))
            Switch(
                checked = checkedState,
                onCheckedChange = {
                    onToggle(name, it)
                    checkedState = it
                }
            )
        }
    }
}

A top App bar with a reset button,
@Composable
fun SwitchScreen(state: UiState,
                       onBackClicked: () -> Unit,
                       onToggleChange: (String, Boolean) -> Unit,
                       onReset: () -> Unit,
                       modifier: Modifier = Modifier) {

    Column(modifier = modifier.padding(0.dp)) {
        TopAppBar(
            title = {
                Row(
                    modifier = Modifier.fillMaxWidth(),
                    verticalAlignment = Alignment.CenterVertically,
                    horizontalArrangement = Arrangement.SpaceBetween,
                ) {
                    Text(text = stringResource(R.string.settings_switch_rows))
                    TextButton(onClick = onReset) {
                        Text(stringResource(R.string.settings_reset))
                    }
                }
            },
            backgroundColor = MaterialTheme.colors.background,
            navigationIcon = {
                IconButton(onClick = onBackClicked) {
                    Icon(
                        imageVector = Icons.Default.ArrowBack,
                        contentDescription = stringResource(R.string.go_back)
                    )
                }
            }
        )
        when (state) {
            is UiState.Loading -> Loading()
            is State.Success -> SwitchRowList(
                state = state,
                onToggle = onToggleChange,
            )
        }
    }

Kayfabe Thoughts: WWE's Vince Problem
July 27, 2018 ~ factfreemedia
(I've written a few columns this year for some other online sources and now I'm making those available here, so you might have already read this or it's subject might be dated. If you've already read it: THANKS! If you haven't: here you go!)
In 1982, Vincent K. McMahon purchased Capitol Wrestling Group and the WWWF from his father, Vincent J. McMahon. Between 1954 and 1982, the elder McMahon built his version of the WWWF around the old territory idea of how wrestling promotions were run. Business was good, as the WWWF had long been regarded as one of the crown jewel territories because it was among the first promotions to split gate dollars with talent and controlled the New York market, and Vincent J. McMahon was very happy to keep the status quo.
However, the younger McMahon had a larger vision for not just the WWWF, but for the wrestling business as a whole that his father could not or did not want to see. In fact, "Junior", as his father's friends called him, changed the business so drastically that even he admitted to Sports Illustrated in 1991 "Had my father known what I was going to do, he never would have sold his stock to me."
As fans, we've been able to watch that vision turn into reality, as Vincent K. McMahon would turn the world upside down again and again, turning his father's regional promotion into one of the largest entertainment companies in the world. Along the way, he has given us some of the most memorable characters, moments, and storylines in the history of the sport. He has also pushed the now WWE to the forefront of innovation, re-writing the book on how wrestling is marketed and produced.
Truly Vince McMahon is one of the most innovative, creative minds in the history of entertaiment and the father of modern wrestling (insert genetic jackhammer joke here).
Except he's killing WWE and needs to go.
Now, I know someone is rolling their eyes at this, frantically getting ready to type something about "WWE revenue year over year", "#LOLZWUTAMARK", "You don't understand wrestling" etc. but just take a minute and keep reading.
Vincent K McMahon is 72 years old, 3 years older than his father when he passed away as a result of pancreatic cancer and 5 years older than his father was when he was bought out. Some of the same things in regard to presentation and being overly reliant on old ways of doing things that the younger Vince held against the older are now somewhat afflicting the current WWE.
Brock Lesnar as an attraction-type champion is a bad and antiquated approach. Attractions worked when the WWE didn't produce so many hours of content each week. That's not to say wrestlers as attractions can't draw. Attraction matchups still work, look at the interest in the Undertaker or HHH's yearly Wrestlemania matchup, but it's a really bad look to have all this content, but not be able to feature one of your top 2 champions.
The same can be said of the repetitive, dogmatic approach to Roman Reigns booking. I like Roman. I think he's an excellent performer, good looking, popular with kids. He ticks all the "top guy" boxes. He is SUPER over without question. But Vince and creative have tried out every single approach to cementing him as champion without giving that character time to breathe with the fans. Think about it (or maybe, more appropriately, #UseYourHead): he's tried the dominant Hogan booking, the bad-boy Austin booking, the screwed over by the Authority booking, and now the scrappy underdog booking with Roman all to NO AVAIL.
I could go further with this, but by now you are already thinking of other examples of the WWE's repetitive approach to main roster booking and production.
Truthfully, the best parts of WWE right now are NXT and lately 205 Live, both Triple H's pet projects. Triple H smartly seems to have built both to more closely resemble the style and tone of promotions like ROH, New Japan, and PWG which are currently popular among younger and international fans alike.
Perhaps most troubling is when NXT stars get to the main roster, many struggle because Vince's approach is so very different. As de facto god of all things wrestling for the main roster, Vince has to be held responsible for the product's inability to evolve.
It's really simple business. Any business that can't grow its talent to success will always have trouble on multiple fronts and eventually will endure long-term difficulty. Mid-level talent and below will continue to do just enough to stay around because they are just happy to get a paycheck. Good players who feel abandoned, mishandled, or ignored will leave, taking their talent elsewhere and succeeding when given a platform that is better suited to their strength (see also: Cody Rhodes).
When the growth problem becomes most debilitating is when the talent exodus eventually breeds a more competitive market. What's worse is the eventual whisper campaign against your company which impacts the ability to attract new up and coming talent. Right now, WWE can still cover their imperfections with the promise of a bigger paycheck for young, starving performers eager to make it to the big stage.
But if what continually occurs is that they fail not because of their lack of skill or an inability to connect with the crowd but because of a failure to connect with a septuagenarian who rules with an iron fist, eventually the chorus of bad experiences gets loud enough to drown out the siren's call of the money. The consequence becomes inevitable and your company goes from being stocked deep with young talent to having to hire the 3rd, 4th, and 5th best candidate in order to fill a roster (see also: The Island of Misfit Toys that was mid-90's WWE or the later days of WCW).
Predictably the product suffers, market share shrinks, and one of two things happens: the company changes course radically and bounces back (late 90s WWE) or your former fans serenade you with a rousing rendition of Vince's favorite song as the lights go dark for good.
A wiser man than I once said "Enough is enough. It's time for a change."
Vince has to go.
Just don't blow him up in a limo this time.

Q: Tool to fix video that's out of sync with audio? I'm looking for (preferably free) software for Windows 7 that will allow me to fix an AVI file that has audio out of sync with the video. I tried with Windows Live Movie Maker and VirtualDub and couldn't find out how to do it (if at all possible) on both of them. If any of those can help me, instructions for that would also be nice.
Background: I have a RCA-to-USB capture card, which I'm using to transfer VHS casettes and stuff from a video camera to digital format. The problem is that the audio comes out heavily distorted. So instead I connected the audio out from the VCR directly to the computer's line in. This works, but  the audio is out of sync, about half a second behind the video. I could spend time trying to fix this issuee, but I think it'll be easier to simply fix the video.

A: EDIT: These instructions apply for VirtualDub v1.8.11 and VLC v1.1.9.
VirtualDub is definitely the correct choice of program for AVI files. I'll walk you through it.
Run VirtualDub by going to the folder where you saved it and running VirtualDub.exe.
Head to File > Open Video File, and select the AVI file from the file browser, and select Open.
Next, go to the Video drop-down menu, and select Direct Stream Copy (we don't want to re-encode what will be an already pretty poor quality stream).
Next, go to the Audio drop-down menu, and select Direct Stream Copy (with the same rationale as above).
Next, go to Audio > Interleaving. This will bring up a dialog box. Note the box with the label Delay audio track by...
Change the value in this box. If you want to get a good idea of what value to change it to, either keep changing it in VirtualDub and checking the result, or do it in VLC. You can change the audio timings on the fly in VLC by playing the video and then hitting J to reduce the audio offset, and K to increase it. Note the value where they appear to sync up, and then use that in VirtualDub. If you can't get them close enough, you can get more finely-grained control by, still in VLC, going to Tools > Track Synchronization. You can then adjust Advance of audio over video until you sync them up, and then use that value in VirtualDub.
Once done, go to File > Save as AVI, and enter the name you want for the file.

A: Found an easier and cheaper way!

*

*Open the movie in Real Player.

*Open the "Convert to" and convert the video to WMA (Windows Media Audio).

*Open Window Movie Maker and import video.

*Mute the volume.

*Import the WMA file from Step 3.

*Adjust the Start point for the music so that it is correct.

*Save the movie again.

A: I used YAII to sync audio/video on an AVI file recently - it's pretty easy, you just open the file and head to the Audio sync tab and you can adjust the frame rate (for gradual out-of-sync) or the delay (for constant out-of-sync), then close the app and it'll prompt you whether you want to keep your settings or not.
And best of all, it's free :)

A: Avidemux tool available for Windows, Linux, Mac
Very detailed steps to fix the video/audio out of sync, are given below,
https://www.hecticgeek.com/fix-audio-video-sync-save-permanently-avidemux/
Ubuntu:
sudo aptitude install avidemux

A: You can use audacity to turn the audio from mono to stereo and then you can use Movie maker to add in the audio as a music track. Mute the video track and make sure the music track is at the right volume. From there, you just have to mess with the Start time to sync up the sound.
One good trick to allow you to do this is to add a 10sec dead space at the start of your recording that you can trim off as needed.
There are free video editors out there, but I have never had any luck with getting something of a decent quality out of them. On windows, movie maker is the "best" free one since it is so easy to get and use. I'm sure there are better ones out there, I use Sony movie studio and it works great for under $100.
[EDIT]
The easiest way to separate the audio is to do it at the time of recording. If your video editing suite doesn't allow it, you'll have to use another program. I normally use sony movie studio to do this, but you can apparently use VLC (free) to accomplish this. Here's a random blog post that I found about this.

Discussions at several of our recent training events on children's mental health, child welfare and child neglect have touched on the importance of sleep to children and young people. A significant number of delegates from across Scotland's schools, education and wider integrated children's services have asked us to explore this topic in greater detail.
Sleep is important to all of us – it helps young children to grow; it helps older, tired bodies to repair; it boosts our wellbeing and helps us think more clearly. In short, it helps us do well in life.
For teenagers sleep is particularly crucial. Our circadian rhythm (the human brain's internal, 24-hour clock) shifts during our teenage years – we don't feel sleepy until later (for the average teenager, the 'sleep phase delay' is around 2hrs) and we can still feel sleepy in the mornings, if we get up at a normal time.
The average teenager is estimated to need between 9 and 9 ½ hours sleep per night, however many young people struggle to achieve this during the school week. This can lead to sleep deprivation, creating periods of low energy and impacting on the young person's ability to perform academically – to concentrate, to learn and to remember things.
The biological predisposition for delayed sleep in adolescence isn't new, however its impact is often compounded by more recent phenomena – such as the pressures on young people to maintain a 24/7 digital lifestyle; more relaxed societal attitudes to bedtimes and sleep; increased caffeine intake amongst young people, in particular from energy drinks; and the impact of abnormal light exposure from digital screens to the sleep process.
Against this backdrop, providing young people with good sleep education is increasingly important – helping them to understand the critical role of sleep and the 'sleep cycle' to their wellbeing; to recognise good sleep-related behaviours; and to be able to assess and change their own sleep habits and routines accordingly.
What we know about adolescent sleep and social media use so far?
How does this fit with the portrayal in the media and our general held beliefs?
What should we be doing as teachers, parents and carers?
Chris completed an honours degree in psychology at the University of Glasgow in 2008 and was awarded a Ph.D. in psychological medicine in 2012. His research focused on defining phenotypical vulnerability to insomnia, investigating the interaction between personality, coping style and physiological response to stress (cortisol, fMRI, heart-rate).
More recently Chris has set-up and co-directs the Oxford Online Programme in Sleep Medicine as well as directing the TEENSLEEP project, investigating the effect of school-based psycho-education on improving sleep and wellbeing in adolescents.
Heather graduated in 2006 with BSc (Hons) Psychology from the University of Glasgow and completed an MSc in Research Methods in Psychological Science. She completed her PhD under the supervision of Prof Stephany Biello and Prof Colin Espie in 2011. Her research was funded by the ESRC.
Heather's research interests lie in understanding the development, maintenance and contributors to poor sleep. Her current research focuses the relationship between sleep quality, self-esteem and social media use in both adults and adolescents through the #sleepyteens project. She teaches and supervises at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels with a focus on sleep and the link between brain and behaviour.
Gemma is a Principal Teacher of Citizenship, International, Enterprise and Financial Education at George Heriot's School, a role she has held for 7 years. Prior to this role, she worked in Pastoral Care and was a Head of Year. The Citizenship programme at George Heriot's School covers a wide range of topics relating to Personal and Social Education and the topic of sleep has been included in the programme for several years. The School also promotes wellbeing through its 'Love Your Mind' initiative which focuses on both mental and physical health and often chooses good sleep as a focus for the whole school.
Dr. Jim White is an internationally-recognised expert in managing common problems such as stress, anxiety and depression. Aware that health-care organisations were seeing only the tip of the iceberg in terms of those suffering from stress and, therefore, unable to do any significant preventative or early intervention work, he devised Stress Control thirty years ago as an attempt to improve outcomes for individuals while, at the same time, hugely improving efficiency by offering evidence-based help to many more people than individual approaches would allow. At the time, this was a highly unusual approach but peer-reviewed research and evaluation showing that efficiency and effectiveness could be improved upon, the class has become widely available across the world. A recent Stress Control class in Malahide, Ireland, attracted 450 people.
Jim has presented at many national and international conferences and events and acted as a National Advisor to the Scottish Government. He was involved with the European Union on how to develop mental health services across Europe using interventions he has devised including Stress Control. He has published over 40 articles in peer-reviewed journals and has written three influential books on stress management –StressPac, Harcourt Brace, 1997; Treating Anxiety and Stress, Wiley, 2000 and 'Stress Control: a mind, body, life model to boost wellbeing', Robinson, 2017. He co-edited The Oxford Guide to Low-intensity CBT Interventions, Oxford University Press, 2010.
Jim worked for over thirty years as a Consultant Clinical Psychologist with the NHS and was the originator of the highly innovative and successful 'Glasgow Steps' approach to common mental health problems – an approach increasingly copied across the world.
Tam Baillie was Scotland's Commissioner for Children and Young People from May 2009 to May 2017. As Commissioner, Tam had a duty to promote and safeguard the rights of children and young people in Scotland through: raising awareness of children's rights; involving children and young people in his work; and considering law, policy and practice with children and young people.
Tam worked as a manager and practitioner with children and young people for over 35 years, working in the statutory and voluntary sectors in Scotland and England. Tam's main areas of work experience includes providing: community based supports to vulnerable children; throughcare and after care services; homeless and street-based services; and developing policy and influencing legislation through national service providers.
Kirsten is a Research Assistant, and third year PhD researcher at the School of Psychological Sciences and Health, University of Strathclyde. Kirsten has been investigating sleep for the past 7 years and her research interests lie in 1) advancing knowledge regarding consequences of poor sleep on mental health and wellbeing and 2) applying theoretical models to enhance understanding of the aetiology of suicide and self-harm. Kirsten's current research focuses on sleep problems as a marker of risk for the onset and maintenance of self-harm during adolescence.
Holly Scott is carrying out an ESRC-funded PhD research project on adolescent social media use, sleep and wellbeing, as part of the #sleepyteens research project at the University of Glasgow. Her particular research interest lies in exploring factors that can make it difficult for young people to disengage from social media at night, despite reporting an impact on sleep. She is currently working with partner schools to support evidence-based policy and practice on adolescent social media use and wellbeing.


During my earlier years as a postdoc at MIT, and as a junior faculty member at Stanford, I had developed a heuristic in carrying out research. I would look at how everyone else was tackling a certain problem and find the core central thing that they all agreed on so much that they never talked about it. Then I would negate the central implicit belief and see where it led. This often turned out to be quite useful. For a year or so I worked with Tomas Lozano-Perez on algorithms to find collision-free paths of industrial robot arms as they moved through a cluttered work space to minipulate parts, or weld, or spray-paint. I realized that everyone who was working on these algorithms was concentrating on how the obstacles in real space appeared as obstacles in a higher-dimensional mathematical space of motor control -- everyone concentrated on how to represent these higher-dimensional obstacles. I decided that instead of representing where the stuff was, I would try representing where the stuff wasn't. In my algorithms there was to be a representation of where it was safe to move the robot arm, and within those constraints they would try to plan a path to get the desired job done. This turned out to provide an immediate payoff and led to some practical algorithms where none had existed before.
(via Tom Carden, thanks!). Which sounds like Richard Feynman's approach too.
Here we're starting to sort a thousand books by colour, with hue on the horizontal axis (in the traditional rainbow order), and lightness on the vertical. This is a more arbitrary schema than Matt Webb's neuro-landmarking, but it works reasonably well if you're the kind of person who remembers what things look like rather than their exact names.
Some are deliberately mis-sorted, according to memory (or other) association: Lessing's The Sirian Experiments's pink cover has faded to grey on the spine, but pink is what is in the memory, so pink it is; similarly Affectt Marcel is grey but seems to be green. And Red Mars goes in red, though Dark Fiber isn't low down on the shelves. And books being read at the moment are in a small pile outside the shelving, rather than being in the previous big section Should-read-some-of-these-soon section.
There are some problems already. Some books with two strong colours stand out anywhere. Conversely, there's a tendency for a book's distinguishing colour to be camouflaged if it's surrounded by others similarly coloured. A wedge of light grey and silver that doesn't happily sit anywhere in particular; neither do brown books, which fall outside of the two axes somewhat. Over-sized books can forced out of place, or off the shelves entirely. Not having genres is occasionally a pain, but we're still finding books in a minute, so it's mostly working.
This re-sort was inspired by both a friend who sorted her CDs by spine colour, and Chris Cobb's There is Nothing Wrong in This Whole Wide World at the Adobe bookshop in 2004-5.
I wanted to make something that I didn't think would exist anywhere, and that nobody would ever make, that I couldn't go anywhere in the world and see it. [...] I'm really grateful for the fact that when the bookstore was organized, all of the shelves along the walls are exactly the same. I think there's seven shelves in every unit. So you can estimate the number of books pretty accurately. It's around 20,000 books. Because of how they're positioned, I can map them out and give coordinates for every book. It'll be, like, shelf 3, row 1. Each book will be given its own designation, so that after they're all taken out and rearranged by color, when it comes time to put them back I can just go back to shelf 3, row 1, or whatever, and I'll know exactly where they go.

New Country Farms LLC, Anaheim, Calif., which is owned by farmer members of theNational Farmers Organization, Ames, Iowa, adds Baby Swiss to its line of premium, natural Jack cheeses.
The Jacks were introduced in November 2004 and, according to the company, consumers have responded very well to them. The Portabella Garlic Jack has particularly caught the attention of cheese aficionados. "An assistant cheese buyer at a major distributor grated New Country Farms' Portabella Garlic Jack onto a pizza for a weekend party with friends and told us afterward, 'It's the best cheese I've ever tasted; We loved it!'" says Steve Wise, g.m. "Every time our cheeses are sampled in stores, they fly out of the deli case. At Corti Brothers Market in Sacramento, 84 8-oz blocks sold on a recent Saturday during a demo. People who try it, like it.
"We will continue to expand our line with best-in-class new cheeses to satisfy the demand from retail buyers and consumers for delicious, high-quality natural cheeses," says Wise.
New Country Farms cheeses are produced by artisan cheesemakers. In California, the Jacks are handmade in a tradition of Danish excellence spanning four generations. The new Baby Swiss cheese is produced by a Wisconsin Master Cheese Maker. All of the cheeses are made with milk from cows not treated with rBST.
Pennsauken, N.J.-basedJ&J Snack Foods, manufacturers and owners of the No.1- selling brand of Italian ice-Luigi's® Real Italian Ice-is growing with Luigi's Frozen Custard. Targeted to the healthcare industry, the individually portioned frozen custard cups come in butterscotch flavor.
Different from its sister healthcare product-Luigi's Intermezzo™ Ice-which is geared toward in-patient feeding, and modified and liquid diets, the custard offers a higher amount of protein, is Kosher OU-D, and trans-fat and gluten free. The product was formulated to address the specific nutritional and caloric needs of long-term care and nursing home residents. Such a product is welcomed by institutions, as it is labor saving because it does not require the addition of powdered protein. This is a step many institutions take to ensure that patients receive adequate protein intake. Each 4-oz cup contains 200 calories, 9g of protein and 25% of the Daily Value for calcium. The product is made and shipped frozen, packed 48 cups per case and is meant to be served chilled.
Nashville, Tenn.-basedPurity Dairies, aDean Food Co. , introduces 0% Plus nonfat milk. The new skim milk delivers all the calcium and vitamins of whole milk plus healthy acidophilus and bifidum cultures. Purity first introduced sweet acidophilus milk in 1976, and has since sold more than 38 million gallons.
Healthy acidophilus and bifidum cultures are found naturally in the body's digestive tract. When consumed via a product such as 0% Plus, the body's natural microflora, which is often destroyed by processed foods and antibiotics, is replenished.
Purity has enlisted the help of Matt Lindahl and his "Milk Jug Band" to put a fresh face on 0% Plus. Lindahl captured third place in last summer's Nashville Star competition and the hearts of audiences across America. Most recognized for his red hat, overalls and washboard, Lindahl was said to have "put the fun and personality back into country music." Although Lindahl traded his red cap for a navy blue Purity cap designed especially for him, he still appears with his washboard in the multimedia ad campaign. In fact, Purity is returning to television for the first time in several years with three spots featuring Lindahl, his band and upbeat bluegrass music with the common theme of "great fresh taste."
Brain Twist Inc. , New York, andCinnabon Inc. , Seattle, are brewing delightful new beverages appropriately named Cinnabon™ Premium Coffee Drinks. These superpremium lattes are a rich and creamy blend of coffee and fat-free milk infused with the decadent taste of the world famous Cinnabon cinnamon rolls. "The Cinnabon taste that consumers love, and our new on-the-go latte line, is a unique combination that promises to be, in a word, irresistible," says Larry Trachtenboit, Brain Twist CEO and founder.
Introduced during the first quarter of 2005, the Cinnabon line comes in two flavors: Cinnamon Vanilla Latte and Caramel Nut Latte. Brain Twist is working with grocers, mass retailers, drug stores and convenience stores to offer the Cinnabon lattes as individually packaged, shelf-stable 8-oz cans. As part of its new coffee line, Brain Twist is also launching Espresso & Cream (i-Java-branded), a double shot of espresso gently blended with milk and cream.
Noteworthy Introductions
Winona Foods Inc. , DePere, Wis., surpasses the ordinary with its Cheese Crafters™ blue cheese, which is cubed-sized portions of blue cheese packed in oil and accented with herbs and spices. The cheese is sold in 15-oz glass jars and is available for private label.
Nestlé® Push-Ups® no longer mean just sherbet, as they now are available in ice cream varieties. There are two different combos packs for kids to enjoy, both featuring a favorite cartoon dog-Scooby-Doo™. One nine-pack combo includes three each of cookies and cream, mint chip and chocolate ice cream. The other pack contains nine tubes of swirled low-fat chocolate and vanilla ice cream. Cartons flag the fact that the Push-Ups are made with real milk and are a good source of calcium.
In Austria,Sia Glassintroduced Sorbet Kaktus Citron-cactus- and lime-flavored ice cream. This flavoring is quite unusual for ice cream products, particularly the inclusion of cactus. Additionally, the product is free from lactose and milk. Cactus flavoring can be seen most predominantly throughout Asia Pacific and Mexico, which also is important to note, seeing as this product was released in Europe.
Unique flavoring outside of the ice cream category was also observed inHochland'sGrilled Chicken Flavoured Cheese Slices, which rolled out in Russia. Flavoring in cheese is not at all uncommon, and is in fact, often seen. Hochland's particular flavoring, however, is quite different from the standard garlic, pepper and tomato flavor varieties that were common in 2004. The cheese slices are also available in ham, toast, mushroom, sandwich and cheeseburger flavors.
Here's a look at a very unique form of cheese. Launched in France,Bongrainintroduces Le Tartare Bistro Cheese Bites. This is the first time for cheese to be sold in this particular format. The pack, which provides two plastic serving toothpicks, contains bite-sized cheese pieces, which actually look very similar to sushi, with savory toppings such as Greek flavorings, smoked salmon, dill, mint, chive, coriander, paprika and onion. The product is ideal to serve as an appetizer or to consume as a snack.
New fromDanonein Poland is its Fantasia Wloskie Smaki, or in English, Duo Yogurts with Icing. The product is packaged in a dual compartment container with an Italian-flavored yogurt on one side and icing on the other. This allows the consumer to add as much or as little icing as they want. Flavors include stracciatella with strawberry icing and biscotto with orange icing.
Lastly,Wall's Ice Creamextends its Magnum brand in the United Kingdom to include the 5 Senses Limited Edition Variety Pack. The concept of this particular product is very unique, as the company has managed to bring an element of seduction into the mix. The packaging features various images of a woman's eyes, lips, fingers, etc. Available flavors include Vision (strawberry ice cream swirl in white chocolate), Sound (coconut ice cream with a chocolate swirl and cracking dark chocolate with caramelized sugar inclusions), Taste (vanilla ice cream, chocolate coating and a caramel ice cream core), Touch (hazelnut ice cream with hazelnut inclusions) and Aroma (vanilla ice cream, chocolate and coffee bean inclusions).

Hemelum (Fries: Himmelum) is een dorp in de gemeente Súdwest-Fryslân, in de Nederlandse provincie Friesland. Hemelum ligt tussen Koudum en Bakhuizen in Gaasterland. Vanaf het meer Morra loopt een opvaart naar het dorp.

In  telde het dorp  inwoners. Onder het postcodegebied van Hemelum valt de buurtschap Nijeburen. Tot de gemeentelijke herindeling in 1984 maakt Hemelum deel uit de gemeente Hemelumer Oldeferd. Daarna lag Hemelum tot 2011 in de voormalige gemeente Nijefurd, totdat deze opging in Súdwest-Fryslân.

Geschiedenis
De plaats is ontstaan op een pleistocene dekzandrug. De vroegste informatie over Hemelum is uit 1180. Hemelum bezat een stins, enkele states, en vanaf de dertiende eeuw het Sint-Nicolaasklooster; een vrouwenklooster van de benedictijner orde. Later waren er behalve nonnen ook monniken gevestigd, afkomstig van het Sint-Odulphusklooster in Stavoren. Op de fundamenten van de oude kloosterkapel verrees in 1668 de kerk van het dorp.

In het begin van de dertiende eeuw werd de plaats vermeld als Hemelem, in 1290 als Hemlem, in 1318 als Hemelen, in 1328 als Hemlum en in 1579 als Hemlom. De plaatsnaam duidt vermoedelijk op een woonplaats (heem/um) van of bewoond door de persoon Hemele.

De bedrijvigheid in Hemelum was oorspronkelijk agrarisch. In 1896 werd door plaatselijke veehouders de Coöperatieve Stoomzuivelfabriek Hemelum opgericht. De fabriek was vanaf februari 1897 in bedrijf en was een belangrijke bron van werkgelegenheid voor het dorp. In 1970 moest de fabriek sluiten. Sinds 1974 is het pand in gebruik als watersportbedrijf, onder andere als zeilschool. Hemelum heeft een jachthaven aan de opvaart. In en rond het dorp vestigden zich meer toeristische bedrijven, waaronder een villapark.

Kerken
De oudste kerk van het dorp is de Nicolaaskerk. Deze zaalkerk uit 1668 is gebouwd op de fundamenten van de oude kloosterkapel. In 1816 is de kerk en in 1896 de kerktoren met transept gewijzigd en vernieuwd. De kerk was oorspronkelijk gewijd aan Nicolaas van Myra.

Daarnaast is in het dorp nog een kerkklooster gevestigd; officieel het Russisch Orthodox Klooster genoemd. Het klooster is gevestigd in de voormalige gereformeerde kerk, die in 1889 werd gebouwd. Het klooster heeft de kerk sinds 1999 in gebruik.

Molen
Van 1855 tot 1984 stond de Vogelhoek ten oosten van Hemelum de Vogelhoeksmolen. Deze poldermolen werd in 1949 buiten gebruik genomen en werd in 1984 verplaatst naar het Zuiderzeemuseum in Enkhuizen.

Sport
Naast de Watersportvereniging De Swaeikom en de zeilschool De Morra heeft het dorp een sloeproeivereniging Ceres, een biljartvereniging en een ijsclub.

Cultuur
Het dorp heeft een toneelvereniging Nea Rest en een dorpskrant.

Onderwijs
Het dorp heeft een basisschool, De Barte geheten.

Geboren in Hemelum

 Jan Popkes van der Zee (1905), reclametekenaar en kunstschilder
 Liuwe Tamminga (1953-2021), organist en klavecinist

2013: Quinn: Twitter needs to balance users, Wall Street
Specialist Glenn Carell calls out prices before Twitter begins trading during its IPO, on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange, Thursday, Nov. 7, 2013.

By Michelle Quinn |
PUBLISHED: November 7, 2013 at 8:48 am | UPDATED: August 12, 2016 at 10:52 am
SAN FRANCISCO — Chris Messina illustrates why Twitter has gotten this far — and why it faces one of its biggest challenges now that it has gone public.
Messina, who never worked at Twitter and doesn't own any stock, is the guy who came up with the # symbol used to organize tweets about a common subject (#TwitterIPO identifies tweets about, of course, the IPO). And he's not alone — he's among a cadre of Twitter fans who helped come up the features that define the social media site.
On Thursday, I chatted with Messina about how the company will now balance the needs and interests of its very devoted user base with its need to please a new set of followers: shareholders.
"With outside money comes outside influence, especially people who don't understand social media," said Messina, now head of community and growth at NeonMob, a San Francisco startup, where he went after leaving Google (GOOG).
The fear among passionate Twitter users and developers is that if the company becomes too protective and proprietary of the service, in order to further its business interests, "it may alienate them for good," he said.
All public companies face the challenge of keeping and attracting customers and still making shareholders happy. But Twitter is different. Its users have a unique sense of ownership even if they don't own TWTR shares.
When Twitter's founders haphazardly created the format, they argued about how or why people would use it, according to several recently published accounts of the company's formative years.
But then people took to the platform and helped develop its unique identity. They created Twitter's language of hashtags, the @ symbol and the idea of retweets. They surprised the company by flooding the site during major news events, causing it to crash repeatedly with its famous "Fail Whale" image.
They, to a larger degree than just about any other social media site, helped make Twitter what it is — a global communications platform used by presidents and pop stars, one where tweets about today's breakfast and tweets about the Arab Spring both find a place.
But starting today, the company has shareholders to please, not just users. That puts the San Francisco company in a tricky position. Its users will be scrutinizing every change, and every change risks mutiny.
So far, it's managed adjustments to the site without serious problems.
But that could change. Take, for instance, the company's decision to offer more media-rich postings like video clips, TV ads and big images in a person's Twitter feed. That may appeal to users — time will tell — but it is really appealing to advertisers. And the company will have to make all of its future decisions with both constituencies in mind.
It will be an extraordinarily tough balance. Cyberspace is littered with companies that didn't get it right — hello, MySpace! — and examples of companies that did.
Google's home page is probably the most expensive piece of real estate in cyberspace — but it's not for sale at any price. Its founders have made the choice to sacrifice short-term profits for the long-term interests of its users and the value of its brand.
What choice will Twitter's executives make? (And remember, Google has an unusual share structure that gives Larry Page and Sergey Brin control of the company, so they can worry less about Wall Street. Twitter doesn't have this cushion.)
A New Hampshire native who came to Silicon Valley after attending Carnegie Mellon University, Messina was a social media consultant when he suggested using the hashtag symbol, At first, it did not take off. But eventually, hashtag use picked up, first during the San Diego fires of 2007 and then by political leaders during a battle in Washington, D.C. Now the hashtag is a key part of the Twitter language.
Messina is optimistic about the company's future and what the IPO signifies. "So long as Twitter protects the integrity of its brand, continues to fight for being an open platform to all comers, and strives for it to be defiantly inclusive, it should do fine, post-IPO," he said.
The danger is that the more Twitter tries to appease the quarterly demands of Wall Street, the more it risks losing the passionate following of developers and innovators it has attracted.
The company should celebrate today's success. It's earned it, and it has its users to thank. But after today, the really hard work starts.

Electric Alice will be a fully illustrated, perfect bound softcover graphic novel. The interior artwork will be created using traditional media, such as watercolor and ink, and hand-lettered. This will be the first publication by my label, Conjure Comics, and my first time as an author. Those of you who follow my work already know what to expect, but if you'd like to see upcoming previews of the variant cover art and interior images, make sure to follow me on Instagram and Facebook.
If this intersts you go and check her out!
Amazing artwork. Good luck with the campaign!

Written For: Challenge 3: Jimmy Buffett Song Titles at ficlet_zone, using 'Growing Older But Not Up' and 'Come Monday'.
Hard as it sometimes was for Ryo to believe, he and Dee had been together for almost ten years already, but despite the fact that they were now both over forty Dee hadn't noticeably grown up any. He totally agreed with the saying 'growing older is mandatory, but growing up is optional' so he'd opted not to bother with the latter.
"You do enough of that for the both of us," Ryo had chuckled, amused.
"Who are you and what did you do with the real Dee Laytner?" Ryo had asked, narrowing his eyes suspiciously.
Dee had burst out laughing at that and the conversation had taken a different turn, but his words had sunk in, and that night, as Dee slept peacefully beside him, Ryo had lain awake doing some serious thinking. Dee was right; everything could change for them in an instant, through injury, illness, or even, God forbid, death, and if one of them were to die tomorrow, what would the other have to look back on? Years of hard work interspersed with occasional nights out and even rarer vacations? There had to be more than that, and anyway, wasn't life supposed to begin at forty? Maybe it was time he stopped trying to be the responsible one and really started to live his life. Before sleep had at last claimed him, Ryo had come to a decision. No more putting the fun things off until later; he and Dee would do them all now, while they were young enough and healthy enough to enjoy them, so that when they were old and grey they could look back on their lives without regret.
With the extra time their new, more streamlined home routines freed up they started going out more; movies, concerts, walks in the park, horseback riding, swimming… In good weather there was the beach, although Coney Island tended to get crowded throughout spring and summer, especially at weekends, and some days it wasn't worth trying to get there because the traffic was so bad that by the time they arrived it would be almost time to head back home. If their days off fell midweek during term time though, when most kids were in school, there was less traffic and fewer people… well, then it was sand, sea, and fairground rides, because why not? There was a lot to be said for being spontaneous.
With that in mind, whenever they had two or three days off in a row, instead of always insisting on catching up on the housework Ryo let himself be persuaded to get out of the city. One weekend they went dirt biking, and on another, rock climbing. They went canoeing, fruit picking, hiking… there seemed no end to the activities they could try. Some things they only did once, others became semi-regular pastimes. Every month or so they took the kids from the orphanage out to give Mother some respite, going paintballing, or to the zoo, or the fun fair. Other times they just grabbed the essentials and took off on Dee's motorcycle, not caring where they ended up.
Dee was right; tying to be an adult all the time was exhausting and stressful, but letting his hair down, so to speak, was liberating. Was Dee being a bad influence on him or a good one? Sometimes Ryo wasn't entirely sure. Should he be climbing trees like a ten-year-old, or rolling down hills, building sandcastles, or jumping in puddles? Stuff like that was surely childish, but it was innocent fun that didn't hurt anyone, and if they messed about on the swings and slide and monkey bars at the local park after dark when all the kids had gone home, was that such a terrible thing? It was more fun than hitting the gym, not to mention cheaper.
They did still go to the gym at least a couple of times a month, to use the weight machines and the pool, but because they were leading a more active life by having fun, they were keeping in pretty good shape anyway; their martial arts workouts helped too.
"You know what we should do?" Ryo asked one morning, as he and Dee were getting ready for work.
"No, what?" Dee said distractedly; he was hopping on one foot, trying to put his socks on.
"Just one problem with that," Dee pointed out. "I don't own a bike." He had for a while a few years back, an old second-hand one, but then someone had stolen the wheels off it while it was parked in the lobby of Ryo's building. At the time Dee had suspected Bikky, but in the absence of any concrete proof there'd been nothing he could do, so he'd had to scrap what was left of the bike. It hadn't been worth buying new wheels for it.
The more Dee thought about it, the better the idea sounded. Ryo had a bike, but it seldom got any use because they usually went places together, meaning using public transport, one of their cars, or Dee's motorcycle. There was plenty of room on the landing outside their apartment to keep bikes, Ryo's already lived there, so storage wasn't a problem, and even on those occasions when the elevator wasn't working they could carry their bikes down to street level without too much difficulty.
On their next day off they went on a tour of cycle shops, and it didn't take them long to found Dee's ideal bicycle; the sleek, black frame with green trim could have been designed with him in mine.
"What do you think?" Ryo asked, looking it over.
"We can hope." Dee paid for his new bike, arranged delivery, and they headed home.
Their next weekend off dawned fine, so Ryo and Dee threw on jeans, t-shirts, and lightweight jackets, put a packed lunch and other necessities into their backpacks, donned their helmets, and made sure they had their bike locks and keys before taking the elevator down to the street. It was still reasonably early, only just after eight in the morning, but that didn't mean the roads were clear. Nevertheless, on bikes they were able to weave their way through most of the traffic jams, or where necessary, get off and wheel their bikes past the worst areas. Within thirty minutes they were crossing the Manhattan Bridge with plans to cycle out to South Beach on Staten Island. They knew the route pretty well having been that way both by car and on Dee's motorcycle.
The ride was long and far from easy, but buoyed up by enthusiasm they made. After a rest and a drink, they took to the beach, determined to ignore their already aching muscles. It was a gloriously sunny day and they had a great time, in and out of the water, but as the afternoon wore on, they were faced with the fact that they still had to cycle all the way home.
"I guess we're about to find out," Ryo replied, donning his cycling helmet and unlocking his bike from the rack.
Ryo couldn't argue with that.
By the time they arrived back at their building after the gruelling return trip, they were just about done in, saddle sore and with aching legs that shook as they staggered up the stoop with their bikes and into the elevator, grateful they didn't have to climb the stairs. Leaving their bikes locked and covered on the landing, they let themselves into their apartment, wanting nothing more than to sit down.
"I'd forgotten how hard cycling is on the legs," Dee groaned, tottering across the living room to collapse heavily onto the sofa.
"Not until I've cooled off a bit, otherwise I might melt." Dee wiped at his sweaty face with the sleeve of his jacket before peeling the garment off and dropping it on the floor.
"Good point," Ryo agreed, dropping his jacket on the sofa beside him. "We should just sit here for a bit first and get our breath back." Tilting his head against the back of the sofa he closed his eyes. Sitting down on something soft had never felt so good.
"Ryo?" Dee asked a few minutes later.
"Weren't you the one going on about staying young at heart a few months ago?" Ryo teased.
"It'll be worth it in the end. Ready for a hot soak yet?" Ryo had cooled off from the cycle ride and was starting to feel a bit chilly; the thought of sinking into a bath full of hot water held definite appeal.
"Embracing your inner child is one thing, but I think you've regressed a little too far," Ryo said, laughing as Dee started to crawl towards the bathroom.
Ryo shrugged. Dee was right; it might seem silly but what did it really matter? Wasn't that what Dee had been saying all along? That there was nothing wrong with being silly? "Right behind you." Sliding onto the floor he crawled after his other half. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em; maybe his legs would hurt less after a hot bath and standing up wouldn't seem like such an impossible task. This staying young at heart was turning out to be hard work!


Seoul architecture firm B.U.S. has created a solution for urban athletes without a court to play on. "Undefined Playground," a fold-out, pop-up sports facility that can be installed anywhere.
In its folded configuration, Undefined Playground's five-sided, wood-paneled steel frame covers 158 square feet and stands almost 12 feet tall.
...and a wall for hitting tennis balls.
Unfold it, and the number of soccer goals doubles, allowing for half-field soccer games.
In Seoul, a metropolis with a population density twice that of New York City, recreational spaces are at a premium. High demand for tennis and basketball courts can result in two-month wait times, says local architect Ji Hyun Park. Not content to wait around, Park and his firm, B.U.S. Architecture, designed "Undefined Playground," a fold-out, pop-up sports facility that Park says you can install anywhere.
Undefined Playground's utility is remarkable. In its folded configuration, Undefined the five-sided, wood-paneled steel frame covers 158 square feet and stands almost 12 feet tall. It looks a little like the free-throw booth at a carnival—only instead of one hoop, Undefined Playground features three. There's also a small soccer goal and a wall full of discus targets. The inside can serve as a storage space or, during ticketed events, a sales booth. Unfold it, and the number of soccer goals doubles. It can also, oddly enough, become a hammock, thanks to the nets that come with the structure.
The project was born from a personal need ("We love sports," Park says), but it has potential for cramped city dwellers everywhere. "Many cities, including Seoul, are suffering similar problems like lack of space, high density...competition to occupy space from retail, offices, and [residential buildings.]" As developers strive to build as many condos as possible, there will inevitably be fewer public-provided places for play, and it's not like high-rise apartments come with basketball hoops out back.
B.U.S.'s solution for this problem comes with a charming side effect: by letting its users play a bit spontaneously, almost anywhere, Undefined Playground mimics the way kids will turn the built environment—an empty alley, the side of an apartment building—into a court of their own. "As I recall, when I was young, anywhere in the neighborhood would become our playground, as long as we had a ball," Park says. And when you're done and worn out, there's always that hammock feature.

Home / Our company / Our thinking Circle of care…how will financial services use AI to transform?
Circle of care…how will financial services use AI to transform?
Michelle Prance and Joanna Brown
The Covid-19 crisis has provided an alarming insight into our frailties and points of weakness. As individuals, as businesses, as a society.
From disrupted supply chains, to an overwhelmed social care system, to online cyber threats, and growing numbers in the population reliant on benefits – we are far more vulnerable than we knew.
But in the same timeframe, Covid-19 has also highlighted to us all, how quickly we have been able to deploy new technologies, and digital capabilities to deliver solutions to current challenges. It is worth noting that only a year ago only 1% of GP consultations took place online – this is now standing at over 65% and it seems unlikely that patients (and GPs) will want to return to the old system. We have seen pharma companies deploying AI to scan through hundreds of terabytes of data about other known viral diseases and drugs to model Covid and predict drugs. Some AI companies are also trying to design new molecules, in case no currently available drugs deem effective. Again it seems unlikely that that particular genie will go back into the bottle.
And while there were concerns that some of AI's business applications were leading to the loss of jobs and infringements on data privacy, these worries seem to have been set aside. Instead we've seen an acceleration of the use of robotics to do the jobs of people who have been ordered to stay at home or who have been redeployed. For example, robots are taking over floor and surface cleaning in hospitals, grocery stores and schools. AI is also fostering an increased reliance on chatbots for customer service at companies such as PayPal and on machine-driven content monitoring on platforms such as YouTube.
As we begin to scope out an environment after the immediate period of crisis – moving from "respond and redeploy" to "recover and reimagine" – all sectors have a real chance to ask how they can use the lessons learnt around deploying technology to better protect, serve and connect with clients.
Realistically a lot of these technologies have been around longer than we care to admit. Banks have played with a lot of these capabilities – but delivered remarkably little in concrete terms.
Within Financial Services this is encapsulated in the opportunity to move from a relatively limited use of AI to the core of the existing business and elevate it to transform the business more widely. By deploying AI and Machine Learning organisations can collect data from multiple sources and in multiple formats – extracting fresh insight. This in turn helps to deliver better understanding of client, market conditions and crucially new opportunities.
In the short term this will help simplify and personalize services. Natural language processing is already ubiquitous in most financial services organisations, but moving it from fielding calls to changing the ways services are designed, is where real value can be realised. AI meeting EI – using natural language processing to recognise when customers are stressed or anxious, allowing them to be offered additional support and/or escalation to emergency services. It also allows complex human verbal expressions and requests to be turned into machine relevant data – reducing response time but also informing product and service design. From basic changes like capturing the kind of information customers are regularly requesting and so informing website/app design to providing insight into the kind of product and services customers are looking for, and creating new merged, intelligent and adaptive bundles that are suited to what the individual needs and not what the company has to sell.
And while this has benefits to everyone, it has the most potential to help financial institutions to protect and serve their most vulnerable customers. It feels safe to say that the next 18 months to 2 years will be a business climate where we can expect more, not less disruption. As a result, vulnerability will remain at the top of agenda so being able to better predict and direct appropriate support helps.
AI systems reduce the need to communicate sensitive or distressing information more than once and can take that data to inform –technology creating services that are more aligned to personal needs. From as basic as learning software that recognises the stress in a customers tone in a routine 6pm call about paying a bill – and ensures that no calls are made to that young parent again at that time. To as important as using AI to spot payment anomalies and money laundering activity, allowing employees to focus on high probability fraud. Or as complex as AI monitoring social media and real time data feeds from government sources to predict and tailor financial assistance products, and identify in advance vulnerable groups and contact them in advance of any real difficulty.
AI isn't a panacea. These are complex topics so AI can help but it will take time, costs will go up in the short term, and it requires access to data – which remains a sensitivity within most banks. It will also require organisation models which support cross functional teaming to enable or unleash the potential.
AI can transform the complex to the seemingly natural; the intangible into the concrete outcome; and put those often on the margins due to disability, health, age or income into a circle of care.
Over the coming months, financial institutions need to seize the opportunity provided by C-19 and start delivering a real sea change in the way they use these technologies to deliver on the promises of the last few years. At last.

One of my main gardening beliefs is that it should NOT be an expensive hobby. Yes, I know - all of the fancy gadgets that are on display at garden centers or adorning pages of glossy catalogs look pretty seductive.
But is it essential to buy expensive gadgets and pots? Nope. Think about it - the essentials of gardening are seeds (then seedlings), something in which they grow, something to hold that in which they grow, water and sun - and perhaps some additional nutrition as the season wears on and the plant exhausts the nutrients in its immediate vicinity.
Seeds are pretty inexpensive, and even in many cases free - if you have friends who are avid seed savers and have far more than they need. If you want to start with seedlings, there is some cost involved, though, again, savvy shoppers can find good deals. The "dirt" - that is an area that I don't want to skimp on if growing my plants in containers (poor drainage and/or disease can end many a gardener's dream of a bountiful harvest).
As to what to put the soil and seedling in, you can purchase expensive containers and pots at stores or in catalogs, or you can go with the least expensive option, or reuse containers that shrubs or trees or perennials come in. I've been known to stop by the side of roads to gather nice large black plastic pots that either flew out of someone's truck, or were tossed there by someone who obviously didn't need them. Then there are Grow bags - inexpensive, reusable, and pretty easily portable, as long as they aren't too large.
I've found that saucers aren't needed, and color, though it could have minor effects, isn't really all that important. I think it is wise to avoid clay/terra cotta, due to its porosity, hence poor water retaining ability. Drainage holes in the bottom are essential. Bleaching prior to use is recommended, in case there are soil borne diseases embedded in the walls of the container. I've found that plants in containers sitting right on my concrete driveway, perhaps due to the baking heat of the direct sun, out grow (in speed) and, in the case of eggplant and peppers especially, out-yield those grown in the garden soil.
Below are an array of the different types of pots I am using - 10 to 15 gallon large ones for indeterminate tomatoes, smaller 5 gallon pots or grow bags for peppers, eggplant and dwarf tomatoes, and very small - half gallon - black plastic pots in which to grow hot peppers sufficiently large to give them a good test.
I am sure that many of you have all sorts of questions about container gardening. Please be sure to either post a comment, which I will respond to, or send an email. A few things to be covered in my next Container Gardening blog post - what to put in the pots, fertilizing/mulching/watering, and providing support.
I hope that this is helpful to you!

Marie in Gävle – top notch
GÄVLE - Going into the final, northern, part of the tour Marie visited Gävle in the middle of Sweden tonight. Gävle Concert Hall wasn't sold out, but close to it. There were roughly 35 international fans there, and from what I saw there was even a meet & greet for some of them. Talking to the fans and listening to the crowd after the show I realized this was one of the better shows of the tour. Top 3 even according to some. There were no changes in the setlist, and frankly, I didn't expect it either. Marie was in very good spirits, smiling and almost joking between the songs. Barefoot of course.
The sound was nothing short of amazing! The band was perfect and Marie was brilliant. Christoffer was doing his normal Neil Young wailing and Micke looked stern behind the keys. Second guitar player Jokke Pettersson was all smiles. The audience could have been more "on" but it was a mature audience and you could still see they were enjoying the show. Swedish celebrity Roger Pontare was there. Biggest hits (according to audience reactions) were "Ännu doftar kärlek," "Sparvöga," "Så länge det lyser mitt emot" and "Mellan sommar och höst" where a lot of (other) people stood up. The newer material, being only two songs, didn't seem to hit the spot though.
All in all, a very good concert, albeit at 1.25 it felt a bit short.

We have Santa Barbara native Richard Lambert to thank for establishing March 23 as National Tamale Day. Here's why.
Why did you get so deep into tamales? I always think of tamales as the original comfort food. They predate the arrival of the Spanish in Mexico and even the Aztec and Mayan cultures by several thousand years.
For me, it started when I was twelve. My brother and I were working in my father's olive grove. At lunchtime I traded my tuna-fish sandwich for another worker's tamale. I was hooked.
Fast forward 60 years and I still love tamales. As an homage to my father and those lunches under the olive trees, I place two black olives in every tamale we make.
How did you start National Tamale Day? One day in 2014, I googled "National Tamale Day" to discover there wasn't one. More than 1,200 foods have their own day, even greasy foods on October 25, yet no tamale day existed. That's what got the ball rolling to create a day for everyone to share in the wonderfulness of tamales.
The official book of special days is Chase's Calendar of Events. It's a reference book published annually since 1957 and lists more than 12,000 holidays, festivals, famous birthdays, and food days. The application process took me about a year and on March 23, 2015, the first National Tamale Day was celebrated.
Have you seen the popularity of tamales grow because of the holiday? It does seem like more people are discovering tamales, although it's hard to know how much is due to National Tamale Day. I will say this: Oslo, Norway, now celebrates with a tamale festival every March 23. Also, on the National Tamale Day website, there are 26 tamale festivals and special events listed. Twelve of them began since we established National Tamale Day in 2015.
What's your favorite tamale right now? I recently read Frida's Fiestas, a book filled with Frida Kahlo's recipes. These are things she served at her famous parties. Chicken picadillo was the tamale she made. I experimented and now it is one of my favorites as well. Traditional picadillo is usually made with ground beef. I use cubed chicken in a spicy red sauce with diced potato, carrot, bell pepper, fresh corn, green olives, and raisins. The tamale is very flavorful with lots of textures.
Can you recommend any tamale hot spots around Santa Barbara? The best tamale I ate in Santa Barbara this last year was made by Corazon Cocina and served at the Christmas Night Market. It was wonderfully rich, though I understand their tamales are only available during the year-end holiday season. Now if a new tamale and tequila parlor opens in Santa Barbara, I might have a different answer for you in 2020.
