I've been thinking a lot about Richard Baxter, Christian History & Biography, and chocolate. Richard Baxter for obvious reasons. The first time I ever heard his name was when my roommate in seminary had to read his book The Reformed Pastor for her pastoral counseling class—and kept raving about it. A 17th-century book as assigned reading for 20th-century pastors? After learning more about him during the editing of this issue, I am beginning to understand.
"With so many Puritans to choose from, why turn the spotlight on Richard Baxter?" we asked J. I. Packer, who speaks of the great 17th-century preacher as familiarly as if they had grown up down the street from each other. Many reasons: Baxter lived through so much of the Puritan era—from 1616 to 1691. He wrote what by many standards is the best record of it, from a personal standpoint, in his autobiography. He was one of the top Puritan leaders of his day, the most successful Puritan pastor, and the most prolific Puritan writer. From him it is not a far leap into the wide spectrum of opinions, personalities, and experiences that make up English Puritanism as a whole, including one of its abiding characteristics: the belief that all real theology is practical theology. This issue of CH&B is not only about a certain group of people who longed, but in many ways failed, to change their world. It is about a certain kind of theology lived out in ministry, in the discipline of daily life, in the family, in secular vocations, and in the larger society. The Puritans were certainly not without their faults. But as Dr. Packer told us, in all of their diversity and adversity, their triumphs and setbacks, two very deep concerns emerge: how to be holy ...

SLP stars crowned for a second year
16th July 2019 By louisemilbourne
SLP Star Awards celebration is the greatest show
Last week we celebrated the second SLP Star Awards grand finale at the beautiful setting of South Causey Inn. It was an unforgettable evening that saw our four schools come together to celebrate the hard work and achievements of some of our SLP children.
Teachers nominations opened in April with well into the hundreds being received. After a lot of deliberation, Headteachers selected winners and runners up who were announced in school assemblies in May.
This year's Star Awards; hosted by our very own ringmaster, saw guests being entertained by a stilt walker, fire juggler, bubbleologist and acrobat at the celebration carnival.
The 2019 SLP Star Awards were extra special as we welcomed the children and families from Bloemfontein Primary School. Having joined us in July 2018, this was the first time they participated in the initiative.
Holly, Bloemfontein Primary School's Above & Beyond winner said,
"I had seen the Star Awards last year and they looked amazing so everyone at school was really excited when we found out they were happening again, and we were taking part.
To be nominated and win was really exciting but tonight has just been amazing. I never expected it to be a real carnival with stilt walkers! I've had the best night ever."
Enrichment opportunities such as the SLP Star Awards could not happen without the support of local businesses and Stanley Town Council. It is their financial contribution that allow us to make such projects so aspirational and engaging for all our children.
Cllr Les Timbey, Leader of Stanley Town Council said,
"Stanley Town Council are delighted to be able to be involved in the SLP Star Awards for a second year.
We know how hard all SLP children work, their determination and resilience is evident on a day to day basis. This initiative allows their teachers to acknowledge their efforts and celebrate together.
SLP offers their children some unique and inspirational enrichment opportunities and we as a town council, are honored to support them."
Whilst the grand finale celebrates our first-place winners, it is only fitting that we congratulate all SLP children. Each and every one of them is a star in their own right and if we could have celebrated with everyone, we most certainly would have. Well done for a fantastic year and we look forward to celebrating next year at the 2020 SLP Star Awards!

Roll up, roll up for the SLP Star Awards 2019!
8th May 2019 By louisemilbourne
The search for the SLP Stars is well underway.
We are absolutely delighted to confirm that following the success of 2018, the SLP Star Awards have returned to all Stanley Learning Partnership schools for 2019!
The SLP Star Awards are an opportunity for us to celebrate the amazing work of our children as a partnership.  Their work, commitment and dedication never fails so it seems only right we recognise and reward this.
This year is extra special as we welcome our Bloemfontein Primary School families into the initiative.  To be able to run this initiative across four schools is superb and a great incentive to offer our children.
All children are eligible for all categories irrespective of age or Key Stage.  Likewise, every school will have their own set of winners and runners up.  Every child has an equal chance of winning as it about their own personal growth and progress.
Nominations officially opened on Monday 1st April running until Friday 3rd May.  At this point Headteachers selected 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners from their school from each category. Local school assemblies will be held during week commencing 20th May to honour the hard work of winners and present them with their certificates.  More details to follow.
The 1st place winner of each category together with two guests, will then be invited to attend a VIP red-carpet evening at the South Causey Inn on Thursday 11th July.  This exclusive and aspirational black-tie event will be a celebration of all of our winners and will also see us crown our SLP Superstars of the Year from each school.
Stay posted on our school Facebook pages for regular updates as to how the initiative is progressing!
SLP Superstar Showcase – confirmed acts!
21st January 2019 By louisemilbourne
Auditions for our partnership wide talent search; SLP Superstars Showcase took place last week as children battled it out for their place in the live show.
Children from all Bloemfontein year groups showcased their talents for our panel of judges in our closed auditions last Thursday. Singers, dancers and magicians were amongst the line up, each one of them really doing themselves proud.
Our panel of judges; Mrs Trewella, Mrs Snailham and Chair of Governors; Mrs Henderson had a tough job selecting their final acts. After a lot of deliberation they eventually managed to whittle it down to seven who will now go on to join their peers from all other SLP schools in the SLP Superstars Showcase that takes place at the Civic Hall, Stanley on Friday 8th March.
Mrs Liddell, Bloemfontein's Head teacher said;
"To say the children have been amazing throughout the audition process somehow doesn't seem to be enough. Each and every one of them is a superstar in their own right and they have amazed and entertained us with their many talents, some of which they had kept under wraps from us!
It was great to see children from both Key Stages participate and be completely undaunted by the whole experience.
Whilst our judges did have a tough job selecting our final acts I am confident that together with their peers from our other SLP schools, they will put on a phenomenal show for the whole community. I can't wait!"
All of the children that auditioned will star in a local school show that will celebrate everyone's talents.
More information to follow as how to obtain tickets for both the local school show and the live show.
SLP Superstars Showcase
17th December 2018 By louisemilbourne
Stanley Learning Partnership have launched our new partnership wide talent search; SLP Superstars Showcase.
Children from all SLP schools are invited to participate in this brand new and exciting initiative designed to celebrate the foundation subjects and showcase their many talents.
SLP Superstar Showcase, run in partnership with Stanley Town Council, is a talent search that will see each school hold auditions and a panel of judges whittle down the acts selecting those that will star in a "live" show.
The SLP Superstars Showcase "live" show takes place on the evening of Friday 8th March 2019 at the Civic Hall, Stanley and whilst we do not know who will be participating, or what their act will be, we do know that it will be a star-studded extravaganza of talent, fun and entertainment.
Mark Stewart, CEO of Stanley Learning Partnership said;
"The SLP Superstar Showcase is a great addition to the SLP calendar of events and one that we are very excited about. This is an opportunity for our children to show us their talents, try something new and for some, step outside of their comfort zone. Some children excel outside of the classroom; this is the perfect platform for them to do just that.
As a fully inclusive partnership it was important to involve as many children as possible. We fully appreciate what a big step it is for anyone to audition in front of a panel of judges which is why, so as not to disappoint those that don't make it to "live" show, we will host school performances that everyone will participate in.
We cannot wait to see who will perform and what their act will be. We are confident SLP Superstars Showcase will bring children and families together both within their school and across our partnership. This is a really exciting time for our children and SLP as a whole."
SLP Superstars Showcases opened for entry during w/c 3rd December 2018 with auditions being held in schools during w/c 14th January 2019. Local school shows will be held during w/c 4th February 2019 and the "live" show on Friday 8th March 2019. Tickets for the show will be available directly from the Civic Hall early 2019.
We hope you will join with us to support the SLP Superstars Showcase, irrespective of whether your child wants to join in or not. Let's create something great together that really puts SLP, our children and Stanley as a community, on the map!

KJERSTI SUNDLAND
"Concepts of O"
Mixed media installations
From ancient times into the present, different acts of mediation have changed the bodies and cognition of humans and non-humans. Transformations are made, from body language to oral speech and writing into the digital media age. These transitions have their own distinct materiality, radically altering our perception.
Concepts of O invites us to re-engage in some of the forgotten concepts and research of the past. Kjersti Sundland brings attention to some of the inconvenient ties to mystical and occult traditions that have been removed to establish psychology as a scientific field. The exhibition explores whether former systems of healing and trance states can refresh our insight in a growing global economy capitalizing on our zealous attention.
Through the artist´s use of video, sculpture, print and hypnotic trance sessions, Concepts of O playfully connects the impact of terrestrial and human electromagnetic radiation with telepathic sensing and psychoanalysis. Sculptures made of copper take centre stage in the exhibition. This highly conductive mineral comments on the ongoing transition from analogue communication to the Internet connecting all things. Copper is the most extensively used component in communication technologies, but is currently being replaced with fibre optic cables in Norway.
What kind of relationships between humans and other living beings arise if we understand sense perception as distributed among human, animal, technical, inorganic and organic entities?
Therapeutic trance methods have been practiced all over the world throughout history. In the 18th century, German Anton Mesmer labelled therapeutic trance states in a system of interdependencies. He believed trance was induced by "animal magnetism", a force moving through and affecting living organisms and inanimate objects. Concepts of O explores how these former occult systems of healing are hiding as ghosts, not only in modern science and technology, but in relational and sensory perceptions of our surroundings. The exhibition also draws inspiration from psychosociologist Jacob L Moreno's concept of tele-encounters, defined as moments of true connection between people.
This project explores communication through tele, not only as acts of mediation through technology, but as transmissions and energy flows between humans and non-humans. Scheduled hypnotic trance sessions conducted by hypnotherapist Martin Mikkelsen will be announced prior the exhibition opening. The evening sessions, titled Magnetic sleep is the result of a two year long collaboration between Martin Mikkelsen and Kjersti Sundland. (please see below for dates)
«Concepts of O» is the exhibition of the artistic results from Kjersti Sundland's PhD artistic research project (2016-2020) «In The Presence of Phantoms». The Art Academy – Department of Contemporary Art, Faculty of Fine Art, Music and Design, University of Bergen.
Opening speech by opened by Frans Jacobi, Head of The Art Academy - Department of Contemporary Art.
Kjersti Sundland, currently employed as PhD fellow in artistic research the Art Academy, KMD, UIB. Kjersti Sundland holds a BA in Fine Art from Coventry University, and an MA in Fine Art from Royal College of Art, London. Her work has been exhibited at Museum of Modern Art, Bologna, TICA Centre for Contemporary Art, Tiran, Punkt Ø, UKS,Oslo, Trøndelag senter for Samtidskunst, Galleri Brandstrup, Artopia Gallery, Milano. Her videos and live video performances have been presented at PureScreen including Castlefield, Cork Film centre, B4 Play Video, Berlin, Netmage, Bologna, AudioVisiva, Milan, VideoLisboa.

"Magnetic Sleep"
Hypnotic Trance Sessions

ROCKY HORTON
"Between Man and Man"
Screen print and acrylic on canvas
Curated By Malin Barth
Interaction and action are essential parts of the life of any human being, and we have the urge to interact and act. That is a part of our human condition.
Rocky Horton´s recent project is a response to the work Flowers in a Wooden Vessel by Jan Brueghel the Elder created in 1606-07. The signs of human existence are "man with man".
In this sense life is an existence-communication.
Horton´s work explores the liminal. The work creates an opportunity for a very intricate conversation about the pervasive influence of spiritualism, occultism and psychologically loaded images. The painting dwells upon hope and failure in order to invite us into transcendence. Perhaps as a result of the de-mystification of the post-enlightenment world or the unwillingness to understand the miraculous, to reclaim the images as transcendent and magical. Not just as aestheticized objects. Horton´s own frame of reference might be as Heidegger puts it--oneself in a kind of spiritual mirror from which the image of other men is fleetingly reflected.
No one needs to tell the flowers how to obtain the water it needs, nor how to orient itself towards the sun and the light; it does so solely on its own. The same innate tendency exists within humans. Our way of being and doing relates to our surroundings, people and objects partake in this interrelational 'dance'. Horton´s perception captures what is within the language and what is left for us to discover. At the beginning is relationship; to be sense and encountered. Horton´s originality in this series comes from what inspired him, Flowers in a Wooden Vessel by Jan Brueghel the Elder. He uses variations of this composition over and over again, limiting his color palette until the work presents itself as an altogether new perception. An illuminated light is brought forth in the work and might allude to the invisible forces of the world.
"Life and Reality are not things you can have for yourself unless you accord them to all others." by philosopher Alan Watts
Rocky Horton is a conceptually based multi-disciplinary artist whose spans painting, sculpture, video, and performance. He is an active founding member of COOP, a curatorial collective in Nashville, established in 2010. Since 2003 he has served as a Professor of Art at Lipscomb University in Nashville, Tennessee. Horton received his undergraduate degree from Harding University in Searcy Arkansas and he received an M.F.A. in studio art from West Virginia University.

It was indeed a sad night for the Jamaica Plain community as what was billed as a opportunity for positive, civil dialogue with Whole Foods, the Boston neighborhood's future tenant in the Hyde Square section of JP, turned into a night filled with shouting, disrespect, disruption, arrests, and eventually an early shut down by Boston Police.
Later today, JRV.com will be posting RAW video of the first hour of the event to give it the context it deserves, since Whole Foods representatives did indeed show up to the event with the best of intentions. We will also be getting comments and statements from several interested parties, since it is clear that the level of discourse regarding this debate reached a new low level as members of the Whose Foods? organization were more interested in creating havoc on the event that actually trying to voice their concerns against the new Whole Foods in civil manner.
There were a great number of us in the room tonight that were excited to hear that issues such as parking, traffic, public transportation, after-hours parking, providing healthy foods to children, and product availability are being addressed by Whole Foods. It's unfortunate that a community meeting designed to address neighborhood concerns and solutions to address those concerns was hijacked by a group of people who have no other plan than to cause a distraction. We look forward to hearing more about Whole Foods plans and how we can work together to build a long-term partnership that will benefit Hyde Square and Jamaica Plain.
We also emailed Whole Foods, We Are All Foods, Whose Foods? and other parties last night for a statement and once we receive them, we will share.
One final note to add: we want to THANK Boston Councillor Matt O'Malley for being the ONLY BOSTON ELECTED OFFICIAL to attend the event. This issue has become hugely important for several residents of JP, and it is a sad statement when elected officials like Boston Mayor Tom Menino, State Representative Jeffery Sánchez, State Senator Sonia Chang-Diaz, and Boston Councillors Felix Arroyo, Tito Jackson and Ayanna Pressley chose not to show up.
For more coverage of last night's event, see today's JP Patch and Boston Globe.

Provoke: LE BAL, Paris
No Comments on Provoke: LE BAL, Paris
LE BAL is located north of Paris' city centre in the 18th arrondissement, slightly away from the bustle and colossal national museums such as The Louvre, Musee D'Orsay, Pompidou Centre and Grande Palais, yet has had a significant impact on the photographic community in the three years it has been open. The building possesses an interesting history and feels an apt home for the image-based exhibitions it now hosts; originally 'Chez Isis' a 1920's drinking den, before becoming the city's largest betting shop, and then a ruin rescued in 2006 and transformed into LE BAL gallery. I visited a couple of weeks' ago to view the 'Provoke: Between Protest and Performance' exhibition examining Japanese photography between 1960 and 1975. This era witnessed an unprecedented rise in Western consumer society, huge transformation of cities, an increase in American military bases – and consequently an identity crisis across Japan manifesting in a protest movement. The focus of this show is on the subversive magazine 'Provoke' which only published three issues and was heavily influenced by the emergence of Japanese performance art and protest at this time. The exhibition also introduced me to lesser known but highly influential photographers including Takuma Nakahira, Yutaka Takanashi and Daido Moriyama who not only documented the era but "thought of the camera as a weapon". The black walls of the ground floor gallery space create an oppressive staging for images depicting protests against the construction of Narin airport, student occupation of universities and local girls mixing with US troops near military bases. The basement gallery in contrast is painted white punctuated with strong vinyl images. Each page of all three publications of Provoke is on display alongside contemporary examples of performance art and film, which help put the magazine into context. All share blurred compositions, abrupt framing and sequential imaging which by the close of the exhibition felt a standardised element of Japanese photography of this era.

Focal Point Gallery: Southend-on-Sea
No Comments on Focal Point Gallery: Southend-on-Sea
Anticipating a busy September, I made the wise decision to extend my August bank holiday by taking an extra days' annual leave yesterday. The proverbial cherry on the top was waking up to glorious sunshine, jumping on a train at Fenchurch Street, and forty-five minutes later arriving on the Essex coast at Leigh-on-Sea. With sun blazing, a still and glistening sea, cobbled streets through the old town with traditional cockles, whelks and eels being sold, I floated my way down the promenade to Southend and its Focal Point Gallery. The contemporary gallery currently has two main exhibitions on display; '#75' and 'CANWEYE{ }' by Frances Scott. In an increasingly digital age '#75' refreshingly champions the gallery's own printed material produced between 2009 – 2016 showcasing posters and tea-towels along one wall alongside three display cabinets brimming with printed artefacts. The gallery also aims to continue producing one unique printed accompaniment to each exhibition, as they have with Dan Fox's four page essay printed in nine different colours which visitors can take away with them. A corridor decorated with brightly coloured neon posters offering a tongue-in-cheek take on Arts Council demographics (including categories like 'Bedroom DJ's' and 'Time-Poor Dreamers') leads you to the next gallery space. As you open the door to a darkened room with wooden scaffolding, a single picture draws you to the far end of the room… and this ink drawing by Derek Jarman entitled 'Plague Street' is the impetus for Frances Scott's video installation. The film is played in a slightly uncomfortable setting and jumps between scenes filmed in Canvey Island (Essex) and Venice (Italy) – its constant shifting of location, use of both analogue and digital techniques as well as archival material make it deliberately difficult to settle as a visitor, whilst still managing to be an enjoyable and interesting experience. I'd certainly advise a visit before the Summer season finishes on 2nd October!

Inspiration To Design More Stability Into Your Home & Life!
Stability may seem like a shabby goal, but its been- in my decade of observation- the most elusive and most wanted emotional state that I have encountered. Stability- feeling your feet planted on the ground, knowing you are safe, trusting yourself and your life- it is huge!
Today- a little feng shui'd expansive design for you to feel more stable, sure, peaceful… and ready for all the great things coming your way!
Feeling safe & stable is the foundation of everything in Maslow's Hierarchy Of Needs Pyramid. If you don't have a solid foundation of stability, watch what happens when you try to build even bigger things like a family or a creative business on top of your shaky base. It typically isn't the greatest feeling in the world.
Stability starts with you. If you are feeling like things are a bit wobbly, too uncertain or shifting and not feeling great, stability can help you plant you feet firmly on the ground and feel at ease.
Earth makes you feel stable. Spend time in buildings like museums or galleries with concrete or marble floors, looking at art. Add more earth element colors to your life, especially in chaos times.
Sleep on a stable bed. Strong, solid bed frames go a long way in creating a peaceful night's sleep and a more grounded sense of wellbeing. If there's one thing you want to be strong in your home, let it be your bed!
Think horizontal, low and solid. This concrete console is a wonderful example of grounding furniture. The weight of it really balances the room. Horizontal lines, sitting on the ground- or even outside on the grass- and creating more of a connection to the ground will help you feel more stable.
You can even go camping for the ultimate experience of all of the above!
Don't underestimate the not-so-glamorous quality of stability. Without it, expanding is really tricky.
Can you think of a way to make your own home feel more stable?
I LOVE the feeling of stability. I love having my feet on the ground – I don't really like being in the air or in the water. I also love that console!
Thank you for this nice little article. Very good keywords to start from as I am thinking of stability in design.

Odell Beckham Jr. is a game changer for an offense and a franchise. As the son of a former LSU football player and a track athlete, Beckham's an elite athlete with top-tier speed, agility, acceleration, and leaping ability.
He runs crisp, clean routes and can win against press and off coverage. He's also an amazing playmaker after the catch as well; he can turn slants and screens into chunks and touchdowns. And as we all know, Beckham's hands are a thing of legend. He's a nightmare matchup for any cornerback.
Over the course of his first three seasons, Beckham was one of the most productive players in NFL history, joining Randy Moss as the only players to begin their careers with three consecutive season of 1,300+ receiving yards and 10+ receiving TD.
Beckham's temper tantrums (see: vs. Carolina, 2015) were the only marks on his resume. Defenders can get into his head and take him out of his game at times. His celebrity puts him under a microscope that has appeared to be too much for the young receiver at times. There's also some injury risk, as Beckham has missed 16 games due to injury in his 4 seasons and is coming off a fractured ankle last season.
Regardless, Beckham Jr. is arguably the best wide receiver in the NFL, and he expected to be paid as such.
As evidenced by this year's free agency class, the wide receiver market is on fire. Sammy Watkins: $16 million per. Allen Robinson: $14 million per. Watkins, who can't be considered as more than a WR1B, got a deal that compared to DeAndre Hopkins and Antonio Brown, albeit shorter in length. OBJ will reap the benefits of this marketplace.
Beckham has been one of the most productive wide receivers in NFL history over his first 4 seasons. Only Julio Jones has averaged more receiving yards per game (95.3) than Beckham (94.1) in NFL history. Among comparables, only Antonio Brown averages more receptions and yards than Beckham.
Despite Brown's APY, his contract is far less secure than Evans' or Hopkins'. Of the three, Evans contract is the most player friendly.
OBJ is not only a far superior talent (rivaled by a small few in the NFL), but he's a superior presence and brand for a team. He sells tickets, moves jerseys, and attracts eyeballs. His value to the franchise extends beyond the plays he makes on the football field, which is among the elite players at his position. He's one of the world's most recognizable athletes.
Beckham will make approximately $25 million over the next two seasons (5th-year option, 2019 franchise tag) if he doesn't agree to a contract extension. The Giants can truly control Beckham for the next three seasons (+2020 tag).
When pen hits pad, Beckham will clear Antonio Brown's $17 million APY by at least a $1 million per season. I highly doubt he will accept any less.
He wants quarterback money. He wants to be a $20 million player. He has a legitimate argument. As the NFL's biggest international star, Beckham more than likely makes his franchise more actual business profit than most NFL quarterbacks.
The way the situation is looking, it would be hard to say how it will unfold. Beckham is saying he won't step foot on a football field without a new contract, but the possibility of that happening seems slim, especially given the fines associated with such a holdout.
Knowing he could dip back into free agency at 28, under a new CBA, and command another record-setting contract, Beckham should be inclined to take a shorter-term contract that will still set the wide receiver market.
The Giants probably won't be inclined to do so when they can control him for the next three seasons at under $50 million (5th-year option, 2019 & 2020 franchise tags). They will want a longer-term extension if anything is done this offseason.

Business Intelligence 101
What is Business Intelligence?
Business Intelligence (BI) turns data into information. It is the sum of applications, technologies, and methods adopted to glean strategically relevant information for the business. The task involves collecting, integrating, analyzing, and applying historical, current and predictive information related to the business. The objective is to gain strategic insights, evaluate risk, and improve decision-making capabilities for top management, business owners, and other stakeholders.
Business intelligence information encompasses both internal data and external data related to the business. Internal data may include operational data, data from sales, financial data, and more. External information is fairly wide in scope and may include information from the external supply chain, social media channels and more. Another dimension to external information for business intelligence is information about competitors and other companies, for benchmarking, and to gain a competitive edge over such companies.
Many businesses now apply business intelligence to make informed decisions, rather than relying on hunches or unfounded assumptions. For instance, restaurant owners use business intelligence to decide the menu to be added and removed from a restaurant menu. Automobile manufacturers apply business intelligence to add new features to their car models. Tour operators use business intelligence to optimize their itinerary. The possibilities are endless. Businesses may use Business intelligence to modify their internal work processes as well.
Business Intelligence Vs. Analytics
One might mistake Business Intelligence as being another name for the much-hackneyed business analytics. While both business intelligence and analytics involve aggregating and analyzing data, the similarity ends there.
Business intelligence aggregates data to make it explicit what is happening to the business, whereas analytics aggregate data to delve into why it happens. For instance, business intelligence evaluates sales performance by extracting data from various sources and presenting it in the form of intuitive graphs. Analytics involves running statistical tests to make explicit whether sales performance correlates with advertisements and promotions undertaken.
While both business intelligence and analytics involve analysis of data, the scope is markedly different. In a sense, Business Intelligence ends with the basic mathematical operations of addition, averages, and percentages to the dataset. Applying advanced algorithms complex formulas, statistical operations such as regression analysis, correlation analysis, and more, to answer deeper questions related to the dataset comes from the realm of analytics.
Technically, Business Intelligence encompasses ETL tools to access and transform data, OLAP (online analytical processing) tools to handle complex queries, tools to manage metadata, development tools to generate various reports and dashboards, and others tools for publishing, scheduling and distribution capabilities. Analytics co-opt different methods of analyzing information, such as descriptive, predictive, regression, neural networks, and the tools to apply such methods.
What is a Business Intelligence Software?
Business intelligence software enables enterprises to undertake business intelligence tasks.
Any Business Intelligence system worth its byte involves the following activities, and software to undertake such activity.
Data warehousing, or bringing together all data, such as sales data, operational data, data from financial reports, competitor sales data, social media talk, and more. ETL (extract-transform-load) tools usually facilitate the task of extracting data from several databases, systems, and applications, transforming it as required, and loading it into the target data warehouses, analytical applications, and other systems.
Data visualization, or presenting the information in a visually appealing way, for users to make sense of the data in a better way. There are different visualization types, such as charts, graphs, infographics, and more, and various enabling tools for each type. Each visualization type serves a specific purpose. For example, Pie charts are best suited to communicate relative performance, whereas bar charts depict trends in the best way. Some intuitive methods such as "slice and dice" are gaining popularity of late, for its powerful capabilities.
Management dashboards, or well-grouped set of visualizations containing most relevant information to any stakeholders, usually reserved for top management. OLAP tools, used to aggregate data and handle complex queries, are commonly associated with Business Intelligence
Several types of tools enable data visualization and management dashboard capabilities.
Spreadsheets such as MS-Excel are the most common method of presenting the Business Intelligence data. The ease of work nature and universal availability of spreadsheets are however marred by serious limitations, such as limited security, limited collaboration features, limited automation capabilities, and a high degree of inaccuracy and variability. Various other tools offer seamless and advanced automation, security, and audit capabilities, which MS-Excel lacks.
Operational reports, often custom made for the enterprise, list data at a very detailed level, in a highly-structured and logical format.
Querying and analysis solutions allow business users and analysts to generate business queries and reports rapidly. The ad-hoc nature of these tools offers unbridled flexibility. These tools also come with intuitive graphical interfaces. A middleware layer which converts database conventions to normal business nomenclature, and dashboard drag-and-drop functionality spares end-users from the need for technical proficiency to use these tools.
Dashboard management systems offer easy access to key information in intuitive and graphical formats. It displays the required set of key performance indicators, metrics, and other relevant information in a single consolidated view, greatly improving the user's decision-making capabilities.
Data mining tools allow analyzing large data sets to discover patterns and build predictive models. data mining application use algorithms, statistics, advanced mathematical techniques, and sophisticated data search capabilities, to unearth insights otherwise not discoverable.
Online analytical processing (OLAP) tools facilitate the rapid visualization and analysis of business metrics. Users may store and access data in multidimensional OLAP cubes comprising of measures, and text values. Queries from OLAP cubes are much more powerful than simple database tables and offer users advanced insights into past performance and various "what-if" scenarios. Users may use such cues to evaluate information from various dimensions and perspectives. In fact, OLAP operations constitute the fundamentals of most advanced functionality used by data visualization tools.
Top Business Intelligence Tools 2017
Until a few years ago, users had a limited choice of comprehensive Business Intelligence tools. The choice was limited to platforms offered by biggies, such as IBM, Oracle, SAP or Microsoft. The high cost of the software and the associated complexities made business intelligence out of the reach of most enterprises, except big corporations.
The advent of the cloud changed things, making business intelligence more democratic. Business no longer needed to build their own BI infrastructure in-house, as SaaS providers perform the resource-intensive tasks of data gathering, persisting and reporting, allowing businesses the ease, affordability, and convenience of the subscription model.
Some of the top ETL tools include Oracle Warehouse Builder, SAP Database Services, IBM Infosphere Information Services, SAS Data Management., Elixir Repertoire for Data ETL, SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS), and more.
Some of the top OLAP tools in vogue include Yellowfin, Stratum, Birst, Profitbase BI, and the quintessential Microsoft SharePoint, among others.
Here is a rundown of some of the leading data visualization and dashboard software in 2017
Dundas BI, one of the most popular browser-based business intelligence and data visualization platform, offers integrated dashboards, reporting tools, and data analytics capabilities.
Domo, A cloud-based suite, makes it easy to integrate multiple data sources, including databases, spreadsheets, social media and also legacy cloud-based and on-premise solutions deployed in the enterprise.
SiSense support business data with powerful visuals and tools, making it handy for users with little or no technical skills.
BOARD, a centralized tool, hosts data and conducts multidimensional analyses. It boasts an impressive client list, which includes US Navy, Giorgio Armani, and Puma, among others.
IntelliFront BI enables viewing multiple data sets from a single pane. It also distinguishes itself with strong automation features, real-time dashboards, and on-demand reporting.
Self Service Tools
The emerging trend of self-service business intelligence, made possible by the advancement of mobility, analytics, and other relevant technology, empower end-users with the ability to undertake business intelligence tasks by themselves, without necessarily having advanced technical skills.
As it is with several other sectors, Google has also entered the business intelligence space, and with time, is sure to give established incumbents a run for their money. It is now possible to build an intuitive BI dashboard powered by Google Data Studio reporting tool and Google BigQuery, a cloud-native data warehouse capable of analyzing petabytes of data in double quick time. As always, all these Google tools are open-source and free, giving developers the unbridled freedom to co-opt it in their systems, the way they want it.
Google's new offering competes with Microsoft Power BI, another free, self-service cloud-based business intelligence offering from the Microsoft staple. Non-technical users may leverage this offering for aggregating, analyzing, visualizing and sharing data easily.
Businesses would do well to consider developing custom suites facilitating such self-service options, integrating ready-to-use Business Intelligence tools to the extent required. Partnering with a competent IT software solutions provider would enable the business to roll out highly intuitive business intelligence apps and other solutions, empowering end-users to gain the required insights easy and fast, without having to wait for the IT team to do the job and spoon-feed them with reports.

NNPA Honors Black Lives Matter Founder with Newsmaker of the Year Award
By Stacy M. Brown, NNPA Newswire Correspondent
@StacyBrownMedia
Alicia Garza said she's "super excited" about being named the National Newspaper Publishers Association (NNPA) 2019 Newsmaker of the Year, an award she's scheduled to receive on Thursday, March 21, in Washington, D.C., during Black Press Week.
"I'll say it's really humbling when the community reaches out and lifts you up for the work you and your team is doing to make black people powerful," said Garza, one of the co-founders of the Black Lives Matter Movement.

Garza, who coined the term "Black Lives Matter," is an Oakland-based organizer, writer, public speaker and freedom fighter who also serves as the special projects director for the National Domestic Workers Alliance which stands as the nation's leading voice for dignity and fairness for the millions of domestic workers in America, according to Garza's online bio.
Along with Opal Tometi and Patrisse Cullors, Garza founded the Black Lives Matter network which is recognized globally for its focus on combatting anti-Black state-sanctioned violence and the oppression of all Black people.
Since the rise of the Black Lives Matter movement, Garza has become a powerful voice in the media with articles and interviews appearing in publications like Time, Essence, and the New York Times.
"Power means getting to make decisions over your own life," Garza told NNPA Newswire.
"It means being able to determine where resources go and who they go to and where they don't go and who they don't go to," she said.
Additionally, Garza said power is about making sure that there are consequences where needed, including at the polls.
"The power at the polls means that selecting a leader that will take our concerns and experiences into account because they are shaping policy and shaping culture in the United States and there are so many different barriers for Black people," Garza said.
"For 2020, it's still yet to be seen what's on the table for Black people and [her latest empowerment nonprofit] Black Futures Lab will be working had to make sure candidates are speaking directly to the issues we care about and are listening to the proposals we have," she said.
Garza's Black Futures Lab works with Black people to transform communities, building Black political power and changing the way that power operates – locally, statewide, and nationally, she said.
"The problems facing Black communities are complex. The solutions to these problems will come from our imagination, our innovation, and experimentation," Garza said.
"Changing our communities for the better requires changing a culture that takes Black people for granted and changing policies and laws that make us criminals and keep resources from our communities, she said.
Still, the Black Lives Matter movement is "alive and well," Garza said.
"Today, Black Lives Matter is an organization with over 40 chapters in four countries, and it is the civil rights movement of our generation," she said.
"I think what we'll see in the next year and next few years is Black Lives Matter moving into electoral politics and policy," Garza said.
In addition to the NNPA Newsmaker of the Year Award, the activist and visionary has received numerous other accolades and recognition including the 2016 Glamour Women of the Year Award, the 2016 Marie Claire New Guard Award, and as a Community Change Agent at the 2016 BET Black Girls Rock Awards.
"Certainly I was motivated by my mom who is really a powerful and multi-talented Black woman who made a way out of no way," Garza said.
"I've also been motivated by the hundreds of thousands of Black people who have come along on this journey for the past six years," she said.

Indian Crisis Scenario – A Report
Clean India Journal - Editor
For the first time in the history of India, the year 2012 saw several public protests against improper waste management all across India – from the northernmost State of Jammu and Kashmir to the southernmost Tamil Nadu. A fight for the right to clean environment and environmental justice led people to large scale demonstrations, including an indefinite hunger strike and blocking roads leading to local waste handling facilities. Ranjith Annepu, Coordinator of the Waste-to-Energy Research and Technology Council (WTERT) – India at Columbia University, gives a synopsis of the Indian crisis scene.
With large scale public protests in Kerala, Karnataka, Jammu & Kashmir and Tamil Nadu and the change of Bengaluru's Municipal Commissioner, the issue of improper waste management has already become political. However, local governments which are responsible for waste management will not be able to provide or implement immediate solutions – while public health of Indians will continue to be affected, quality of life will continue to degrade, and environmental resources will continue to get polluted.
The inability to provide immediate solutions to waste management in these cities is not the crisis; the crisis is yet to come. Not ten or fifteen, but there are 71 other cities which generate more waste than Thiruvananthapuram (310 tonnes per day), but have limited resources to handle it. Public unrest is expected to spread and grow as these cities try to grapple with increasing quantities of waste in the next decade. This will lead to a waste management crisis if government authorities do not leverage the current situation which has resulted in increased awareness to bring about long term reforms.
Current status of waste management in India
Twelve years since the Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) (Handling and Management) Rules 2000 were issued by the Ministry of Environment and Forests (MOEF), the progress achieved is meagre. No city in India complies with the MSW Rules 2000. Open dumping, open burning and landfill (dumpsite) fires, and open human and animal exposure to waste are common. This causes various environmental hazards, such as air, soil, ground and surface water pollution, odour nuisance, health hazards, impairment to natural aesthetics, and feed vectors like rats, dogs, mosquitoes and monkeys.
Open burning of waste and landfill fires are a major source of air pollution in India's large cities. They are the largest source of air pollution in Mumbai which do not add to the city's economy and contribute about 20% of the pollution due to particulate matter, carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons. They also emit 10,000 grams TEQ of dioxins/furans every year in Mumbai alone.
An average of 32,000 people will be added to urban India every day, continuously, until 2021. This number is a warning, considering how India's waste management infrastructure went berserk trying to deal with just 25,000 new urban Indians during the last decade.
India's goal should be integrated waste management. It was clear to everyone that integrated waste management is the goal India should strive towards. Integrated waste management is the coordinated use of a strategically chosen set of waste management options each of which play specific roles in prevention and reduction of waste and its transportation, and in material and energy recovery from wastes towards achieving maximum resource efficiency.
Researchers Are Required
Research which can directly be applied to India's situation is minimal, mainly because there is lack of funding and attention to waste management as an issue. Most existing research is focused on just one aspect of waste management – organic waste decomposition using biological processes. Consequently or otherwise, India is one of the largest users of small scale anaerobic digestion (biogas) units and the most widely employed waste management technique in India is aerobic digestion (windrow composting), both of which use bacteria to convert waste into cooking gas (methane) and compost respectively. However, research required in India ranges from environmental life cycle analysis to economic analysis of various waste management options for Indian cities, from public health impacts across India to policy and social aspects.
Responsible Industry Practices Are Needed
The SWM industry in India is young and growing, with a significant influx of new players from other sectors. Most of the industry is currently involved in collection, transportation, landfill and mechanical biological treatment contracts. In the next three years, it is expected that India will have more than nine new WTE plants in Mumbai (1), Thane (1), Cochin (1), Hyderabad (2), Chennai (2), and New Delhi (2 more). This is a big number considering that there have been no new WTE facilities constructed in the US in the last 15 years, while it still landfills more than 50% of its waste.
The influx of new players and a limited number of tenders has resulted in cut throat competition leading companies to quote extremely low just to win a contract. Such bidding results in bad projects, which will take the entire industry backwards with every failed project. Financial mismanagement is one of the most recurrent reasons for waste management project failures worldwide.
Judiciary – Platform for Public Action
The Indian Judiciary proved to be the most effective platform for the public to influence government action. The majority of local and national government activity towards improving municipal solid waste management is the result of direct public action, funnelled through High Courts in each state, and the Supreme Court. This started as early as 1996, when a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) in the Supreme Court resulted in India drafting its first MSW (Management and Handling) Rules 2000.
In a more recent case (Nov 2012), a slew of PILs led the High Court of Karnataka to threaten to supersede its state capital Bengaluru's elected municipal council, and its dissolution, if it hinders efforts to improve waste management in the city. In this case, the Court followed up on the results of actions taken by the City based on previous court orders, and noted that people are getting restless and are unsatisfied with the City's performance. India's strong and independent judiciary is expected to play an increasing role in waste management in the future, but it cannot bring about the required change without the aid of a thorough national policy.
Out of all the measures that are necessary in addressing India's impending waste management crisis, the most efficient will be changes at the national policy and planning level. It is well known among the small but growing waste management sector that urban India will hit rock bottom due to improper waste management. Unfortunately, they think such a crisis is required to bring about policy changes, as they generally tend to happen only after the damage has been done. This attitude is unfortunate because it indicates a lack of or failed effort from the sector to change policy, and also the level of India's planning and preparedness. The scale of urbanization in India and around the world is unprecedented with planetary consequences to Earth's limited material and energy resources, and its natural balance.
The clear trend in the outbreak of epidemic and public protests around India is that they are happening in the biggest cities in their respective regions. Kolkata, Bengaluru, Thiruvananthapuram, and Srinagar are capitals of their respective states, and Coimbatore is the second largest city in Tamil Nadu. However, long term national level plans to improve waste management in India do not exist and guidance offered to urban local bodies is meagre. Apart from the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JnNURM), there has been no national level effort required to address the problem.
Are Cities Hands-tied or is Change Possible?
In the short term, Municipal Corporations have their hands tied and will not be able to deliver solutions immediately. They face the task of realizing waste management facilities inside or near cities while none of their citizens want them near their residences. In spite of the mounting pressure, most Corporations will not be able to close the dumpsites that they are currently using. This might not be the good news for which local residents could be waiting, but, it is important that bureaucrats, municipal officials and politicians be clear about it. Residents near Vellalore dump protested and blocked roads leading to the site because Coimbatore municipal officials repeatedly failed to fulfil their promises after every landfill fire incident.
Due to lack of existing alternatives, other than diverting waste fractionally by increasing informal recycling sector's role, closing existing landfills would mean finding new sites. Finding new landfills in and around cities is nearly impossible because of the track record of dumpsite operations and maintenance in India and the Not in My Backyard (NIMBY) phenomenon. However, the Corporations can and should take measures to reduce landfill fires and open burning, and control pollution due to leachate and odour and vector nuisance. This will provide much needed relief to adjacent communities and give the corporations time to plan better. While navigating through an issue as sensitive this, it is of the utmost importance that they work closely with the community by increasing clarity and transparency.
Municipal officials repeatedly stress the issue of scarcity of land for waste disposal, which leads to overflowing dumpsites and waste treatment facilities receiving more waste than what they were designed for. Most municipal officials are of the sense that a magic solution is right around the corner which will turn all of their city's waste into fuel oil or gas, or into recycled products. While such conversion is technologically possible with infinite energy and financial sources, that is not the reality. Despite their inability to properly manage wastes, the majority of municipal officials consider waste as "wealth" when approached by private partners. Therefore, a significant portion of officials expect royalty from private investments without sharing business risk.
While the situation across India is grim and official action has to be demanded through courts or public protests, there are a handful of local governments which are planning ahead and leading the way. The steps taken to solve New Delhi's waste management problem is laudable. A WTE plant was built in 2011, at a time when the need for such plants was being felt all over India. 1300 tons of Delhi's waste goes into this facility every day to generate electricity. The successful operation of this facility reinvigorated dormant projects across the nation.
Recycling, composting and waste-to-energy are all integral parts of the waste disposal solution and they are complementary to each other; none of them can solve India's waste crisis alone. Any technology should be considered as a means to address public priorities, but not as an end goal in itself.
After living with heaps of garbage for months, Thiruvananthapuram Municipal Corporation started penalizing institutions which dump their waste openly. It has also increased the subsidy on the cost of small scale biogas units to 75% and aerobic composting units to 90% to encourage decentralized waste management. As a response to the dengue outbreak in Kolkata, the state's Chief Minister went door to door to create awareness about waste management, and also included the topic in her public speeches. For good or bad, many cities in India have started or initiated steps for banning plastics without performing life cycle analyses.
Experts believe India will have more than nine WTE projects in different cities across India in the next three years, which will help alleviate the situation to a great extent. However, since waste to energy combustion projects are designed to replace landfills, they also tend to displace informal settlements on the landfills. Here, governments should welcome discussions with local communities and harbour the informal recycling community by integrating it into the overall waste management system to make sure they do not lose their rights for the rest of the city's residents. This is important from a utilitarian perspective too, because in case of emergency situations like those in Bengaluru, Kerala, and elsewhere, the informal recycling community might be the only existing tool to mitigate damage due to improper waste management as opposed to infrastructure projects which take more than one year for completion and public awareness programs which take decades to show significant results.
Indian policy makers and municipal officials should utilize this opportunity, created by improper waste management examples across India, to make adjustments to the existing MSW Rules 2000, and design a concrete national policy based on public needs and backed by science. If this chance passes without a strong national framework to improve waste management, the conditions in today's Bengaluru, Thiruvananthapuram, Kolkata, Mumbai, Chennai, Coimbatore and Srinagar will arise in many more cities as various forcing factors converge. This is what will lead to a solid waste management crisis affecting large populations of urban Indians.

Лико — гора-инзельберг в районе Альто-Молоку провинции Замбезия в северной части Мозамбика, известная своими девственными тропическими лесами на вершине. Высота горы примерно 1100 метров над уровнем моря. Наличие отвесных каменных стен высотой до 700 метров над окружающей местностью является естественной преградой для любого проникновения человека. Лес на вершине, внутри вулканического кратера, занимает площадь около 30 гектаров.

Гора Лико с нетронутым участком леса на вершине представляет особый научный интерес. В 2012 году она была «открыта» Джулианом Бейлиссом из университета Оксфорд-Брукс при помощи сервиса Google Планета Земля. Ранее аналогичным образом учёный «открыл» гору Мабу, расположенную в 70 километрах на юго-запад.

В мае 2018 года команда учёных во главе с Бейлиссом отправилась в экспедицию на вершину горы для изучения её уникальной среды обитания. Было обнаружено несколько новых видов животных, в том числе новый вид чешуекрылых. Также были обнаружены несколько перевёрнутых горшков, которые были установлены у истока ручья на вершине горы, вероятно, по религиозным соображениям.
