The collaboration between Murakami and Louis Vuitton generated value from scarcity. The product of this partnership was a restricted-edition handbag, however the by-product was a desire for it—an intangible high quality. That same ethereal need has driven decrease-end retail partnerships, too. In 1999, Goal launched a Michael Graves line of house items and home equipment, an economically viable different to the excessive-finish ones to which Graves had lent his title for the Italian housewares company Alessi. The floodgates opened, and Target would go on to collaborate with well-identified, high-finish designers, from Missoni to Judith Leiber to Proenza Schouler, making them family names.

Q: a Prince Charming, a rock, a man with whom... -- what do they mean by "a rock"? Source: 'That terrorist is not your Prince Charming!': Cosmo warns Russian women against ISIS temptation

"A woman who is lonely or dissatisfied in her personal relationship is the ideal candidate for recruitment," says the article, arranged in a helpful question and answer format. "All of a sudden fate will bring… a Prince Charming, a rock, a man with whom you can build a solid and happy future. This is not how it will actually work out."

Any idea?

A:
rock
NOUN

*used in similes and metaphors to refer to someone or something that is extremely strong, reliable, or hard

As stated after the comma: a man with whom you can build a solid and happy future.
Modern homes are built on a foundation. First a big hole is dug in the ground, then it is leveled off, and a foundation is built using concrete. The home is then build upon this concrete foundation.
Rock is being used as a synonym for Foundation.

A: The original article uses a Russian saying "как за каменной стеной", literally "like behind a rock wall", which refers to a husband as strong, reliable, and safe as a fortress wall.

A: This might be a reference to the biblical metaphor of building one's house on a rock.

"a wise man who built his house on the rock: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.

-- Matthew 7:24-25, NKJV

An air cargo drop mission can be quite demanding, especially if conducted at night.
The thing becomes much more challenging when the flight takes place over the enemy territory where there is a residual risk of MANPADS (Man Portable Air Defense Systems) or small arms.
On these missions, not only pilots but all the crew wear Night Vision Goggles, and use the side windows of the plane to spot any sign of hostile fire.
The images in this post show aircrew of the 774th Expeditionary Airlift Squadron C-130H Hercules from Bagram airfield, involved in an airdrop mission in Ghazni Province, Afghanistan, on Oct. 7, 2013.


Match report Kegworth started the first innings brightly taking three wickets in the first two overs for 15 runs, however Barrow soon got in their stride with 4 of their batsmen retiring on 25+ runs. Kegworth did manage to take 5 wickets overall. Guy Lorraine took a superb catch, run outs came from Myles Faulks, George Jones and Jamie Shaw and Joe Hampson, Harry Danzey and Tom Henson taking wickets. The innings ended with Kegworth chasing 178.
Guy Lorraine opened the batting and got his highest score of the season with 6 before being stumped. Joe Hampson made 14 making him the highest scorer this match before being caught. George Bakewell-Smith was unfortunate to be bowled by Queenborough who also took the wicket of Harry Danzey. George Jones and Tom Henson had a good partnership of 16 before Henson was caught. Sam Tricket lost his wicket to a spin bowler. Barrow's Shelton then went on to take the four wickets of Myles Faulks, Jamie Shore, Dan Lewis-Roberts and George Lacey in 1.2 overs. Kegworth finished on 63 all out.
There were many positives to take from this game, including some very good fielding and backing up and some good support/encouragement for each other particularly from Sam Trickett. Man of the match was awarded to Joe Hampson who bowled well and was the highest scoring batsman of the day.

Tarashaj Loaned To Frankfurt
Super Striker
Tarashaj Loaned To Frankfurt Aug 31, 2016 8:06:07 GMT Avinalaff likes this
Post by dorf on Aug 31, 2016 8:06:07 GMT
Shani Tarashaj has joined Eintracht Frankfurt on loan until the end of the season.
The 21-year-old forward will spend the 2016/17 campaign with Niko Kovac's Bundesliga outfit after a full pre-season with the Blues.
Tarashaj signed a four-and-a-half-year deal with the Toffees in January, before being loaned to Grasshopper Club Zurich - the club from whom he was signed - for the remainder of the term.
His form earned him a full international call-up, with the youngster making one appearance for Switzerland at Euro 2016.
Tarashaj will now meet up with Frankfurt, who began their league season with a 1-0 home victory Schalke 04 last weekend.
He becomes the Blues' fifth loaned-out player this month following Conor Grant, Russell Griffiths, Luke Garbutt and Brendan Galloway agreeing temporary moves to Ipswich Town, Cheltenham Town, Wigan Athletic and West Bromwich Albion respectively.

How long do you have to get a rabies shot after being bitten?
Can hydrogen peroxide kill rabies?
How long does rabies take to kill you?
If an animal was rabid and infectious at the time of biting, it would die from the disease within 10 days.
Animals can only transmit rabies virus after it has reached the brain and started to spread outwards via nerves – it gets into saliva by working its way down nerves from the brain to the salivary glands..
The rabies virus is fragile under most normal conditions. It is destroyed within a few minutes at temperatures greater than 122°F, and survives no more than a few hours at room temperature. The virus is no longer infectious once the material containing the virus is dry.
The rabies virus is a very fragile virus. As soon as the saliva dries, the virus is no longer infectious. The virus is easily killed by soaps, detergents, bleach, alcohol and ultraviolet light. What will happen to the animal after a person has been bitten or otherwise exposed?
The first symptoms of rabies can appear from a few days to more than a year after the bite happens. At first, there's a tingling, prickling, or itching feeling around the bite area. A person also might have flu-like symptoms such as a fever, headache, muscle aches, loss of appetite, nausea, and tiredness.
Rabies used to be known as hydrophobia because it appears to cause a fear of water. Intense spasms in the throat are triggered when trying to swallow. Even the thought of swallowing water can cause spasms. This is where the fear comes from.
It takes seven days to develop the required immunity after the vaccine is injected. Another anti-rabies serum or immunoglobulins should be given within 72 hours of the bite. This serum, available at medical stores, gives protection to the person for the first seven days. It is free in civic hospitals.
Hand sanitizer with 70 percent alcohol kills the most bugs. There are a couple things they don't kill (Clostridium dificile, a bacteria usually acquired in hospitals, and rabies), but overall, in sheer bug killing power, alcohol-based sanitizers blow hand washing away.
The virus will not survive for long in water, but it will last long enough to possibly infect another animal. Rabies has an incubation period. The incubation is the period from exposure to rabies virus until the animal finally becomes sick or acts differently and is capable of infecting other animals or people.
As the disease spreads through the brain, people become more confused and agitated. Eventually, coma and death result. The cause of death can be blockage of airways, seizures, exhaustion, or widespread paralysis. In 20% of people, rabies begins with tingling or paralysis of the limb that was bitten.
Once a rabies infection is established, there's no effective treatment. Though a small number of people have survived rabies, the disease usually causes death.
So why is rabies so difficult to treat? Viral infections can usually be treated using anti-viral drugs, which inhibit virus development. Rabies virus uses a myriad of strategies to avoid the immune system and hide from antiviral drugs, even using the blood brain barrier to protect itself once it has entered the brain.
Clinical Manifestations Five general stages of rabies are recognized in humans: incubation, prodrome, acute neurologic period, coma, and death (or, very rarely, recovery) (Fig. 61-1). No specific antirabies agents are useful once clinical signs or symptoms develop.
Rabies is a rare but very serious infection of the brain and nerves. It's usually caught from the bite or scratch of an infected animal, most often a dog. Rabies is found throughout the world, particularly in Asia, Africa, and Central and South America. It's not found in the UK, except in a small number of wild bats.
But, in order for the post-exposure vaccine to work, it must be administered before the onset of symptoms. If not, an infected person is expected to live only seven days after the appearance of symptoms. Rabies is transmitted through contact with the saliva of an infected animal.
Following a bite, the rabies virus spreads by way of the nerve cells to the brain. Once in the brain, the virus multiplies rapidly. This activity causes severe inflammation of the brain and spinal cord after which the person deteriorates rapidly and dies.
Doctors, who asked not to be identified, said some people might find this funny or link this to witchcraft, but it is possible that a person with rabies can bark like a dog. "I have witnessed four cases. This is the fifth. They bark, though it is hard to believe.
There are something like 8 to 10 people known to have survived rabies without receiving vaccine and rabies immune globulin," he said. Rabies immune globulin is typically given along with the vaccine after exposure.
You can´t tell if an animal has rabies by just looking at it. A clue though is if the animal is acting strangely. Some animals may act mad when they have rabies. They will be hostile and may try to bite you or other animals.
If bitten, a vaccinated person should receive two more doses of rabies vaccine; one dose immediately and one three days later.
Yes, Accelerated Hydrogen Peroxide® (the technology within Rescue™ Disinfectants) is expected to be effective against Rabies virus.
The symptoms eventually progress to delirium, and coma. Death usually occurs 2 to 10 days after first symptoms. Survival is almost unknown once symptoms have presented, even with intensive care.

The Writing Bug: "K" Killing A Story with Soggy Cereal.
"K" Killing A Story with Soggy Cereal.
Hear me out. I don't eat cereal. I've been about five years on the paleo bandwagon. Oh sure, I fall off the wagon occasionally for things like pizza and cake and sometimes homemade tortillas, but I rarely eat cereal any more.
If you're of a certain generation, boxed cereal was a staple. Frosted Flakes, Sugar Smacks, now Honey Smacks, and Cocoa Pebbles. Oohhh, I miss Cocoa Pebbles. The sons sometimes guilt me into Reese's Puffs, but when I instituted the "If it has an -ose in it, I'm not buying it" they didn't grouse too much.
After all, I still make eggs and bacon. They still eat toast and bagels. Despite their lament of nothing to eat in the house, I assure you no one is starving.
Son 2 requested Frosted Mini-Wheats this week. I made myself a little bowl knowing I'd pay for it later. If you eat cereal you have a perfect milk to cereal ratio. I'm not a big fan of milk in the bottom of the bowl. I add just enough milk to insure I'm not eating dry grain.
I had just made my bowl when The Beard distracted me with some thing or another. I returned to my bowl of cereal to discover it soggy. Mini-Wheats have an ideal eating moment, like caviar. Once past the perfect saturation point they go mushy.
It occurred to me cereal is similar to writing. If you work a piece too long, over saturate it, you run the risk of turning it to rubbish.
There's a need for an editor and a need for revisions. There's a need for proof reading. There's also a need for understanding when a piece is done. Believe me, I could edit and edit and re-edit The Esau Emergence and its sequel, The Esau Convergence. I don't know a writer who truly feels a piece is DONE.
You have to let go at some point. Otherwise, you can work yourself into impasse. Become frozen at the alter of "It's not good enough yet." I don't think you ever grow beyond that worry.
Just as with cereal or pie crust or meatballs....a story can pass tender and delectable into tough to take. Surround yourself with reliable beta readers (people who don't love you) a strong editor and then remember to breathe.
If you're a writer, there are plenty more stories clamoring for your attention. Trust yourself.
And don't over sog the cereal because that's just yucky.
As a fan of Frosted Mini-Wheats, I wholeheartedly concur; you need just the right amount of milk and there's a certain window of time in which to eat them before they turn to mush. And I agree with your analogy to writing, too. Who would have thought that breakfast cereal and writing have something in common. At my house, the dogs get the leftover milk in the bowl. They think it a great delicacy.
That's what I'm here for! To inspire philosophical thought about cereal.

4 Media Monitoring Lessons For PR & Marketing Learned On The Global Soccer Field
Vive la France! The last game is in the record books, and as the New York Times wrote, "France was the best team in the field this summer in Russia, a potent mix of greatness, grit and good fortune."
While 'good fortune' is never guaranteed, marketing and PR professionals can learn some lessons from the winners—and losers—of this year's soccer tournament.
Hit Your PR & Marketing Goals With Soccer-Inspired Learnings
Even if you aren't a big soccer—or 'football'—fan, you couldn't escape mentions of the games across the media landscape. Take a look at what we discovered from our own buzz monitoring and reputation listening efforts:
Big Players Can Be Beat
The #1 soccer powerhouse, Germany, went down to the underdog team from Mexico. Brazil, a perennial leader with five titles under its belt, played to a draw against the Swiss and then went down in a stunning loss to Belgium. The UK football team lost as well.
Shockers like these aren't unknown in the sporting world, but they serve as proof that if you bring your A-game when making a PR pitch or launching a marketing campaign, you can score points—even when you're up against a tough media contact or competitor.
It's The Team, Not The Individual, That Wins
Stand-out players fueled plenty of buzz throughout the tournament, but their individual successes didn't lead to victory. Luka Modric, for example, won the Golden Ball for his outstanding tournament play, but it wasn't enough to bring Croatia the win in the end. France was loaded with stellar players—N'Golo Kanté, Paul Pogba, Antoine Griezmann and Kylian Mbappé—but they won because the team played to each other's strengths, overcame obstacles as a group, and left their egos at the door to earn the trophy. They certainly provided great PR for that organization!
One Moment Can Overshadow All The Good Will You've Earned
If you did any social listening during the tournament, you could not miss the tweets and memes blasting Brazil's power forward, Neymar Jr. Certainly one of the top players in the world, Neymar's over-the-top histrionics during play made him one of the top tweeted players for all the wrong reasons. In the aftermath of what clearly was a foul against Neymar, USA Today reported, "The problem for Neymar here is that he's built a reputation as arguably the best actor in the world, and he's writhed in pain and done barrel rolls down the field in an attempt to draw fouls and cards multiple times over the last two weeks."
We've seen how a viral social media post can be equally damaging to a brand's reputation, so establishing a social listening process is critical to spotting potential problems before they achieve meme status.
Monitoring large social media platforms like Reddit using tools like Notifier for Reddit can also be a great way to proactively use social listening to respond to and mitigate customer relations issues before they balloon and explode!
Keep Your Eye On The Ball And Take Aim With Precision
It works on the soccer field, and it works with PR and marketing too. Players watch game film to analyze their own play and their opponents'. When you set your PR and marketing goals, you have to do the homework to achieve them. That means diving into media monitoring and analytics to capture valuable insights about your brand voice and reach or what your competitors are doing. It also means developing a wealth of information about your media contacts, so you can get creative and deliver relevant, compelling pitches that score the interest you're trying to generate.
Do you have the right playbook and computer technology to deliver the big wins?

Huddersfield-based James Bamforth was an early English film-maker, photographer and artist. But he is best known for his saucy postcards, often featuring very buxom ladies with ...double entendres. The cards he created were largely sold as seaside postcards.
Often pushing right to the boundaries of British censors, the Bamforth postcards started in 1910 but became incredibly popular in the 1930s, selling up to 16 million cards per annum.
The Bamforth business folded in 1988, and was purchased printing firm Dennis, which later also collapsed. In 2001, Ian Wallace, businessman, bought what remained for Bamforth and the rights to over 50,000 postcards images.
Now in 2010, a century since Bamforth's cards first started titillating senders and receivers, the Bamforth images are set to make a comeback. Firmly entrenched in the Benny Hill and Carry On vein, Mr Wallace is hoping that these classic cheeky cartoons, featuring kilt-wearing Scotsmen, topless sunbathers, hen-pecked husbands and Junoesque women are likely to soon be appearing on mugs, mouse mats and boxer shorts.

Abstract: When the term gamma radiation pops up, associations with radioactive hazards may arise. Do we have to be afraid of gamma radiation from space? Fortunately, we don't have to be, because the Earth's atmosphere protects us. Unfortunately, it also prevents us from directly observing this radiation from Earth. But it is in the nature of man to be curious to overcome these obstacles to investigate this vicious radiation from space. In 1961, a satellite was the first to detect gamma rays from space. At about the same time, the Cherenkov radiation was discovered – a radiation that is emitted when charged particles move through a medium at the speed of light. This led to a new technique, capable of measuring gamma rays from Earth, and paving the way for ground-based gamma-ray astronomy. However, it took 30 years until an appropriate experiment discovered the first gamma-ray emitting astrophysical source. Since then, hundreds of sources of Galactic and extragalactic origin have been discovered, and higher energies and sensitivities have been reached. The Cherenkov Telescope Array will exceed current experiments in a multitude of aspects: With more than 100 telescopes in 3 sizes at 2 locations equipped with state-of-the-art technologies, it will cover an area of 10 square kilometres on the ground, and it will provide a new view of the sky at energies of up to 300 TeV – more than a 1000 billion times the energy of visible light. With its unprecedented capabilities, it will refine our knowledge tremendously and will mark the beginning of a new era of gamma-ray astronomy. Deeper insights into this field will be subject of this presentation.
Bio: Born around the time when Cherenkov telescopes made their first discovery, Sabrina Einecke is observing the extreme gamma-ray universe for more than 8 years. She took her first steps in gamma-ray astronomy with the ground-based experiments MAGIC, FACT and CTA. Completing research stays at the Columbia University in New York, she expanded her interests to the utilisation of machine learning approaches to combine a variety of multi-wavelength data to fully exploit the information that is available. This also led to her PhD thesis with the title "The Data Mining Guide to the Galaxy". According to the German Physical Society, it has been among the best in Germany in 2017. After finishing her PhD studies in Germany, she moved to Australia and now supports the University of Adelaide as a postdoctoral research fellow. Her research focuses on Active Galactic Nuclei – the most extreme objects in the Universe – and data analysis using cutting-edge techniques from the fields of artificial intelligence and machine learning – crucial for handling the immense amount of data collected by next-generation experiments.

Why should I care about physics? From atoms to cancer therapy and more!
What a wonderful world! And how many different structures, from stars to human beings! We have learned about atoms, Higgs bosons, black holes and the Big Bang; we have internet, computers, satellites, GPS and so many amazing technologies! Who needs more?
But how do they work? One may think we should not care about the physics beyond technology; it is not our business how technology works! But this is not true! Amazing things happen if we try to understand the physics behind our technology: GPS works due to…Einstein; computers work due to…quantum mechanics; we can cure cancer with particle accelerators. But even more important, we can explore the Universe – inside and outside us – because we are curious beings, we are all born physicists!
The adventure of physics will last as long as humanity – we will never stop asking questions. Stay hungry, stay foolish? No! Stay curious. Albert Einstein once said: "I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious".
Napier Building, the University of Adelaide, North Terrace campus.
applied physics and requires engineering to handle the most extreme conditions in our solar system!
Biography: Ceri Brenner is a plasma physicist and innovator who uses the most powerful lasers in the world to study what happens when extreme bursts of light come into contact with matter and is using this knowledge to design new X-ray technology that can see through steel! The extreme physics she studies can also be applied for understanding supernova explosions in space or how we can ignite a star on earth for clean electricity generation.
Nuclear reactors generate 11% of the world's electricity delivering emissions-free, baseload power. Of the world's 447 power reactors 83% are LWRs (light-water reactors) that operate in a thermal-neutron energy spectrum where the neutron capture cross-section of Uranium-235 is maximised. Light Water Reactors are a proven technology, with over 50 years of operational experience and remain the design of choice for new builds. On the 10 year horizon, small modular reactors (SMR) will become available. Essentially a small LWR by design, these SMRs promise to be safer, faster to build and thus cheaper to finance. Their smaller size may also lead to them becoming brownfield replacements for old retiring coal-fired power plants.
In the future, advanced reactors that operate in the fast neutron spectrum will become widely deployed. Using coolants such as sodium, lead or molten-salt, these reactors will operate at a higher temperature, radiation and corrosion environment but with the ability to breed fuel, burn radioactive waste and operate at a higher thermal efficiency. This talk will provide an overview of all reactor developments.
Dr Mark Ho works at ANSTO, Lucas Heights, specialising in reactor thermo-hydraulics. He's interested in reactor design, computational fluid dynamics, coding and boiling dynamics. He has recently returned from a meeting of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in Vienna on Small Modular Reactors. He is the current President of the Australian Nuclear Association which is an organisation of professional scientists and engineers based in Sydney and with a branch in Adelaide.
This year's youth lecture tour will promote physics to senior high school students and science teachers. Commencing in August, Dr Sean Powell and Dr Jacqui Romero will present lectures in Physics to high school students in major centres across the state.
The 2018 AIP Lecture Series will be delivered by Dr Sean Powell.
Dr Powell's talk in 2018 is titled Physics is everywhere! – a journey from sub-atomic particles to the large-scale structure of the universe, where physics seeks to answer the most fundamental questions about reality. As we learn more, we can do more! Physics is everywhere in our world and underpins all our technologies. This year, Sean will discuss the important problems that all of us encounter every day: how do I teleport myself to school? What do I do when I find myself inside a black hole? Why is my time-machine not working? He will also talk about the superpowers that you can gain as a physicist, such as the ability to make accurate quantitative observations and predictive and interpretive mathematical models. These powers mean that you can become very valuable and work in many industries such as fundamental physics research, economics and finance, space and aeronautics, healthcare and medicine, learning and teaching, electronics and computers, and so much more!
An additional regional lecture will be delivered in Mount Isa in 2018 by Dr Jacqui Romero.
Dr Romero's talk in 2018 will focus on Slower light in free space. The speed of light is nominally given by c/n, where n is the refractive index of the medium in which the light is travelling. The refractive index of free space is 1, hence it is natural to expect that in free space, light travels at c. We show that this is not the case when you consider real beams.
We consider photons in a Bessel mode and a focused Gaussian mode, and show that in both cases, the reduction in group velocity results to a delay of several micrometers over a propagation distance of 1 m or ~30 femtoseconds in terms of arrival time.
Please refer to the attached itinerary for information regarding dates, times and venues and contact details for the host at each venue.
There is no cost to attend these presentations; however, we do ask that you RSVP the organiser at each venue to indicate your school details, staff attending and anticipated student numbers , by Wednesday 25 July.
We would appreciate your assistance in forwarding this to any interested staff and students who may not receive it via the Physics Discussion list.
Lasers And Super Exciting Research: It's all in the name!
Lasers are the greatest multi-taskers; from telecommunications to surgery, from space missions to cutting through steel, they're used everywhere! But did you know that we are also using the most powerful lasers in the world to tackle some truly global challenges? We'll explore how lasers are key to providing for our rapidly growing energy demands, how they will help spot and treat cancer and how they can be used for safe handling of nuclear waste.

A New Paradigm In Human-Supervised Machine Learning
by Jon Morra , April 23, 2019
Over the last few years, machines have gotten a lot wrong. From safety to privacy to context, machines without proper focus have proven they aren't quite ready for prime time. As a result, the industry adapted — leveraging old tools to solve new problems.
In traditional media, like TV, all of the content is knowable; networks have every script, schedule, and program approved in advance, and brands can control where their spots run accordingly. And then platforms arrive.
The best we can do is whitelisting/blacklisting, which only offer snapshots of content at a fixed moment in time to mitigate the dangers of a dynamic content environment.
How does the industry solve this incompatibility?
Even the savviest keyword algorithm can't capture cultural nuance before it happens. For machine learning to drive effective targeting on dynamic platforms, machines need to be continuously monitored and trained on behalf of brands to understand these ever-evolving elements and adjust in real-time with brand preferences in mind.
The winning formula is the brand-focused human application of nuance into the rigid patterns of machine learning, which optimizes the outcomes that machine learning manages.
This is leaps and bounds beyond the reactive, manual keyword whitelist/blacklist adjustments after damage is done.
So how can human supervised machine learning processes put an end to keyword-based whitelist and blacklist strategies?
Eliminate False Positives in Context
In search and display advertising, keywords are the primary drivers of contextual alignment. But in video, keywords alone can't properly capture the intent of the video. Human-supervised machine learning separates the signal from the noise by actively finding patterns across thousands of video attributes.
Even the most sophisticated keyword process will miss nuance. The keyword "Eagle" could be the band, the 2018 Super Bowl Champions, a wildlife video, or a new dance trend. Additionally, a new concept like "Drill music," which has been linked to violence, can't be predicted via keywords, much to the chagrin of brands found adjacent to it.
Humans tease out difficult patterns and teach machines to be more robust than a static keyword list could ever be.
YouTube, the world's largest video platform, has content that is relentlessly dynamic. There is too much content for humans to monitor every video, while there is too much nuance for unfocused algorithms to do it alone.
Take, for instance, a brand that aligns with cooking, health and wellness, and travel content, while absolutely steering away from Non-English and kids' content. With this specific and intricate set of parameters, designing a single set of keywords that is both applicable now and continues to be applicable in the future is a near impossibility. Maintaining whitelists is futile.
If a news story breaks that a certain type of food is being recalled by the FDA, the advertiser would naturally want to remove itself from any content that features that particular food item. But by the time the distinction is incorporated into a blacklist, the ad may have already landed adjacent to the radioactive content.
This is where human-supervised machine learning becomes critical.
Qualified reviewers can proactively and continuously watch videos to determine if each video matches the brand's content guidelines. These consensus reviews become the ground truth, training data in determining whether a video is campaign-worthy.
The data—both positive and negative—will serve to train each custom machine-learning model to dynamically identify more videos that match the brand's preferences, while excluding ones that don't.
Rather than reinventing the wheel and constantly adding and removing new keywords, this structured approach can become your brand's dynamic content targeting strategy. In simple terms, you are moving from a reactive to a proactive process, combining the complementary strengths of human beings and machines.
By leveraging human-supervised machine learning, marketers can increase their precision against relevant content, while improving workflow efficiency and enhancing consumer trust. It has also shown to drive purchase and recommendation intent, and encourages consumers to watch rather than skip ads.
2019 will be a year filled with advances in machine learning from some of the biggest tech companies in the world. It will help marketers with brand safety, as well as with ad performance on KPIs, such as viewability and efficiency.
But the true promise for brands requires human cognition and machine learning to find patterns that build your brand, not just protect it, on the biggest platforms in the world. Pointed the right way, machine learning can make your brand's advertising more powerful than ever.
Machines alone are never going to think like CMOs -- but it's our job to train them to.

How are you all doing? I am good, I recently got a new lens for my camera (Canon EF 50mm 1.8 lens) as a birthday present to myself. Photography has become one of my hobbies since I got my DSLR, I just love capturing moments with my camera. I am also all about ankle strap sandals this summer, I just wanted to share the ones I have picked up. I know! New Shoes, Don't Judge Me...lol I am getting rid of some shoes in my closet while Spring Cleaning. I will be selling some on My Poshmark in a couple of days.
Thanks for stopping by, a new ootd post should be up tomorrow. Have a wonderful day!


You're in the middle of the work week and you can't wait for the weekend to come, but you have too much work and cannot dedicate enough time for the night life? It's okay, we got this.
This is the place to be, every day, every night! It's a mixture of different people, all having fun with a beer in their hands. I have to be honest with you – this is one of my all-time favorite spots in the whole city. Not only because if you know someone here in Sofia, this is the ultimate spot to meet them, but if you're not in the mood to make any certain plans, this is the place where you could meet all your friends without further expectations. Some consider the lack of public restrooms a flaw. There are only two bathrooms in the so-called park, belonging to the two bars. Especially at night, there are huge lines of girls. It's actually a con if you want to make an acquaintance.
If you are new in Sofia you will notice the huge amount of people who prefer this place for a hangout spot. The National Theatre is the jewel of Sofia, an outstanding building surrounded by a beautiful garden. It's rich in history but now it's mostly a spot where the local youth congregates when the weather is good to chat, relax and have a good time. Of course, every local is familiar with this social circle. There are a lot of benches and green spots where you can have a coffee during the day or a beer at night. The place is very communicative surrounded by "Squat Shops" and good cafes. As much as we like spending spring-summerish nights there, we always have it in mind if we want to have a more casual meeting with a cup of coffee from the nearest Costa coffee house. You could also see a peculiar dude, who made a coffee bar out of his car.
Vitosha Boulevard or simply "Vitoshka" (Bulgarian "Витошка") as it is locally known is Sofia's spine. It leads from St. Nedelya Church all the way up to the National Palace of Culture. Yellow trams used to creak up and down the boulevard, but after extensive renovation works Vitoshka is now a car-free zone lined up by countless shops, cafes, restaurants, and eateries. This is the place where young folks prefer to have their coffee and their Instagram picture taken. Also, there is a very peculiar Bulgarian tradition – wearing your Sundays best, taking a stroll through Vitoshka. Don't be surprised if the venue reminds you less of a pedestrian street and more of a fashion runway. It is probably the most crowded place in the whole city, but there are delicious restaurants nearby.
It is a small park, with old trees and a playground right behind the National Library. Also, it's located between two of the most beautiful streets in Sofia- Oborishte and Shipka. The neighbourhood is very artsy and the atmosphere makes you feel all the history the location holds. Right across the garden is the National Music School and while you're enjoying a good cup of coffee you could actually hear the students rehearsing. This is one of the unique characteristics of the place. We can't wait to spend our spring and summer nights there when The Smugglers Collective organizes Vintage garden parties. It's a great place to hang out with your friends, sitting on a blanket in the park, enjoying great jazzy-swing music, to which a couple of people are always dancing.
Slicker hint: If you want a successful date, we recommend bringing the girl of your dreams here.
Don't get us wrong – this isn't the place the cartoon is based on. It's actually one of the most popular parks in the capital. It has numerous cafes and places to eat, asphalt paths for walking and bicycle paths between trees suitable for extreme riding. The park has an excellent location – at the borders of the park are the U.S. embassy and Kempinski Hotel (now Marinella). The main entrance of the park is located on the most popular shopping boulevard – Vitosha Boulevard. Sofia Center (NDK) is located at 10 minutes' ride by bicycle and 5 minutes by car from the park (or 20 minutes' walk). The South park of Sofia is a favorite place for walks and sport for locals and visitors of the capital of Bulgaria. Although there are plenty of places to eat, we love to grab a pizza from Dominos (which is situated at the main entrance), a cider and enjoy the nature of the park.
If you are aiming for a more peaceful walk or you're looking for a greenery location to relax your mind and read a book, the Military Academy is the perfect spot. We discovered the beauty of this park not long ago when Absolut started making parties in the abandoned pond. Even when they have stopped bringing people together there, we continue to love this spot. We will give away one slicker secret: it is our most favorite place to hang a hammock and forget about our everyday worries.
So those were our prime hangouts in Sofia. Do you feel like you can contribute to the list? Please share in the comment box below.
 An interesting fact that you'll learn during your stay in Sofia is the existence of Squat Shops. Now, before your imagination runs away with you, Squat Shops are shopfronts that run from basement windows in a residential home and appear on street level at knee-height. So, you need to squat to collect your purchase of liquor, snacks, cigarettes. They're like the home basement business version of 7-11, some open 24 hours a day.
