Hilo has become a lot more colorful in recent years with commissioned mural works by various local artists, across town. From the colorful ALOHA at Keaukaha General Store to the bright orange he`e on Ponahawai Street, one is surely to be impressed with such talents on display.
Talented wildlife artist, Patrick Ching.
Tomorrow through September 1st, the Kress Building on Kalakaua Avenue will have its turn for a façade spruce up! Local artist Patrick Ching, along with his artist friends and others from the `Alalā Project, will collaborate talents on this mural portraying a family of the endangered `Alalā in its natural habitat. This is how he prefers to showcase the crows, by putting positive energy and love into each piece, in the hopes that it will manifest opportunities for the crows' population increase in the wild.
Any prints or books sold will benefit the Alala Project.
Popular local designer, Sig Zane, will contribute to the mural by designing a pattern for the building's trim. Local keiki will also have an opportunity to participate in the art project on the mauka wall, facing the alley that separates Kress from Moon & Turtle.
At an early age, Ching developed a genuine caring for one of Hawaii's most endangered birds, the `Alalā or Hawaiian Crow. For years, he not only studied them but also made efforts to learn about them through meeting people involved with preserving the species. After painting numerous works of Hawaiian landscapes and animals, Ching was commissioned by the State of Hawaii to create an artistic piece of the revered bird.
Dedication of the completed mural is scheduled for September 1st. Ching will be at The Most Irresistible Shop for First Friday on September 2nd from 6 to 9 p.m.. On September 3rd, Ching will be at Basically Books for a book signing. Then on September 8th, the Volcano Visitor Center will present his works at "Inspirations Of A Wildlife Artist".

Obama to Use New Study to Attack Mitt Romney on Medicare
MANDEL NGAN/AFP/GettyImages(MELBOURNE, Fla.) — Campaigning in Florida Sunday, President Obama will seize on a new analysis showing the Romney-Ryan plan would raise Medicare costs to launch fresh attacks against his opponents' plan to "voucherize" the popular entitlement program.
Appealing to the large senior population in this key battleground state, the president will highlight a new study by the left-leaning Center for American Progress that found that, under the Romney-Ryan Medicare plan, seniors turning 65 in 2023 would see their health care costs increase by $59,500 during retirement.
The analysis found the numbers are even higher for future generation. According to the study, a person who qualifies for Medicare in 2030 would, on average, have to pay an extra $125,000 in Medicare costs over the course of their retirement.
The president ramped up his hammering of his opponents' Medicare proposals on the road Saturday.
"No American should ever have to spend their golden years at the mercy of insurance companies. After a lifetime of labor, you should retire with dignity and respect. You've earned it," he told supporters in Kissimmee, Fla. "We do have to reform and we will strengthen Medicare over the long haul, but we're going to do it by reducing the costs of health care — not by dumping those costs on to seniors."
The Romney campaign has attacked the president in recent weeks for cutting $716 billion from Medicare. What the Romney campaign has not mentioned, however, is that Obama's cuts do not impact Medicare eligibility or benefits.
"I want you to know I will never turn Medicare into a voucher," Obama said. "These guys are out there running these ads about how somehow we're weakening Medicare. We strengthened Medicare."
In response, the Romney campaign said Obama's latest attacks are "a sign of desperation."
"Only one candidate in this race has robbed today's Medicare of $716 billion to pay for Obamacare – Barack Obama. He has done nothing to reform Medicare for the long haul and prevent it from going bankrupt, and on his watch family health care premiums have increased by nearly $2,500. The President's decision to use discredited studies and outright falsehoods to attack Mitt Romney is an admission that he can't talk about his record of crushing the middle class and failing to turn the economy around," Romney campaign spokesman Ryan Williams said in a written statement.

Center for American Progress' Neera Tanden On Obama: 'Washington Will Not Determine His Success' In 2011
Photo Courtesy - Saul Loeb | AFP | Getty Images(WASHINGTON) -- When President Obama returns from vacation next week, he'll get his first taste of life with a bigger and more emboldened Republican Congress eager to repeal much of the legislation passed over the last two years.
On Thursday ABC News spoke with Center for American Progress' Neera Tanden, who argued that the President shouldn't get too caught up in what is happening on the Hill, but should instead "get out of Washington, because Washington will not determine his success."
The Chief Operating Officer of the liberal think tank and former director of domestic policy for the Obama-Biden campaign, Tanden told ABC News that given the current make-up of Congress, Obama "can't measure success by Congress alone. I think you'll see in the State of the Union the beginning elements of his re-election campaign, communicating why he's the best person to be president right now and how the things he's done really help benefit the American people. I think that will be what he does for two years. He's got to get out of Washington because Washington will not determine his success."
Tanden also weighed in on the fate of the health care law, something she knows a lot about given her role as a former senior advisor for health reform at the Department of Health and Human Services. While acknowledging that the Administration has a "big communications challenge" in connecting Americans with the specific benefits of the law that may benefit them, she also warns that "at the end of the day, the Republicans want to repeal all of these particular benefits and you have to tell people that's what they're doing."
Furthermore, notes Tanden, Republican efforts to dismantle the law could backfire. "I think one of the lessons we learned from this last election," said Tanden, "is that people want to focus on the economy and if they focus everyday on healthcare instead of economic issues, I think that will be a detriment to them as well."

World Bank approves $500 million loan for Tunisia
Tunisia's Minister of investment and international cooperation, Riadh Bettaib, said that the World Bank approved a loan of $500 million to support Tunisia's budget in 2013. (Reuters)
Reuters, Tunis Thursday 24 January 2013
The World Bank has approved a $500 million loan to Tunisia to support its 2013 budget and help its economy after the first Arab Spring uprising that toppled its former ruler, a minister said on Thursday.
Two years after the revolution that ousted President Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali, increasing numbers of Tunisians are staging street protests to demand jobs and economic development.
The new loan follows another of the same amount last November to support economic recovery by providing funds to improve the business and financial sectors and reform social services.
"The World Bank approved a loan of $500 million to support Tunisia's budget in 2013," Riadh Bettaib, minister of investment and international cooperation, said.
Tunisia, whose uprising sparked political changes across North Africa, said in November it is seeking a $2.5 billion loan from the IMF, and Fund officials said last Friday discussions were under way to establish what was needed.
Tunisia's Islamist-led government has sought to revive the economy hit by a decline in trade with Europe and by policy disputes between secularists and hardline Salafi Islamists.
Jim Yong Kim, the president of the World Bank, said on Wednesday in Tunis he was optimistic about the future of Tunisia though it needed painful reforms to revive its economy.

What now for the Befriending Scheme?
I took part in a phone discussion on BBC Radio Suffolk this morning to discuss Suffolk County Council's Cabinet decision to withdraw funding to some features of the Befriending Scheme.
I am very disappointed that the council has taken this action despite the importance to people with learning difficulties. However, I am not surprised. This action, is another attack on the lives of disabled people which has been on the agenda since the inception of austerity.
I know that the council will say that they are not stopping the service. No, technically some elements will continue, but only for people who are getting ready to return to the workplace. And for those whom the service does continue, however, they will not be able to claim back travel expenses. This makes it unaffordable for many of those who are attempting to get into work as they simply do not have the extra money needed for transport. It is short-sighted of the council to ignore the statistics that show that the type of jobs that people with learning difficulties could get are in short supply in Suffolk. So, what happens when those few finish the work related activities?This action by the council will, along with the stopping of rural travel routes, lead to the return and worsening of social isolation amongst those who used the service.
My heart breaks for the individuals who will now find themselves cut adrift from friends and social interactions. The consultation seems to have ignored the voices of the vulnerable which this council claims to value and protect.
I will, with my colleagues in the Labour Group, continue to work for these and all vulnerable people in Suffolk. We will continue to try influence the council to look for alternatives to ending these vital services.

Seattle Streetcar 'Green Light' Cements District's Rebirth
Seattle's monorail project may be stalled, but the city's recent green light for a 2.6-mile streetcar line linking the central business district with South Lake Union, a former industrial area to the north, seems likely to cement momentum driving the SLU's transformation. The city estimates 14 million sq ft of commercial and residential development between 2001 and 2020. Click here to view images
"The pace of the transformation now going on is really breathtaking," says Marty McOmber, spokesman for Seattle Mayor Greg Nickel, who signed the streetcar bill into law on July 7. "It seems like a tipping point has been reached."
The city has formally designated the area as an urban center targeted to receive 8,000 residential units and 16,000 jobs over the next 15 years. Already, 2.6 million sq ft has been developed or is under construction, says Michael Mann, deputy director of the city's office of policy and management. The city expects another 5 million sq ft of development by 2010. About 60% of the square footage is commercial and retail and 40% is residential.
Philanthropist and developer Paul Allen, whose Seattle-based company Vulcan Inc. owns 60 prime acres in the roughly 250-acre district, has been spearheading the revitalization since 1996, despite SLU's rundown infrastructure. Vulcan, which also developed the Experience Music Project nearby and the Seahawks football stadium, has long-range plans for 10 million sq ft of development. Of the first dozen projects totaling 3 million sq ft, five are finished, two are under way and two more containing 750,000 sq ft are set to begin construction this year. The final three have no start-up dates.
All but 10% of the 261 condominiums in Vulcan's 2200 Westlake Avenue, slated for early 2006 completion, sold out within a month of offering. As Vulcan's first "for-sale" project, "we were not sure how it would do," says Allison Jeffries, Vulcan's real estate manager.
SLU, just east of the Space Needle, is the last under-developed large tract downtown. With the streetcar, other planned street realignments and a lakefront park, the city aims to undo damage caused by construction of Interstate 5 and State Route 99 in the 1960s, which isolated the area.
The $47-million streetcar, set to be ready by fall of 2007, did not have everyone's vote. "There's the perception [it] is designed just to benefit [Allen's] projects," says Phyllis Shulman, legislative assistant to council member Richard Conlin.
"The area is already attracting hundreds of millions of dollars in private investment," says city council member Peter Steinbrueck, who notes there are infrastructure needs in SLU more deserving of scarce funds.
A special landowner tax will fund half of the streetcar's cost. That means Vulcan will provide nearly $15 million toward the job (ENR 7/11 p. 23).

First art of the year!
Inspired by a conversation I had with a friend.
Copic Markers, White gel pen, Pigment Liners.
I'm not the greatest at drawing expressive faces, but I think hers is saying "Piss Off" to someone. Which kind of embodies the mood I've been dealing with for a couple of months now (mostly caused by the dumpster fire I work at).
I just haven't been creating because of it, and it's making me upset because I can't create. Also unless my efforts to create change for myself work, I likely won't be contributing much to Inktober this year which makes me quite sad.

Customer Experience & Fraud Prevention: Dueling Priorities for Today's Contact Centers
Christina Luttrell / Apr 2021 / Technology, Data Security
How to deliver a frictionless service experience without compromising data security.
The past year was a challenging and transformative time for many people as a global, once-in-a-generation health crisis upended critical components of how we work, play and connect.
From remote workers to Netflix bingers, a critical commonality among people was the rapid adoption of digital platforms. Millions of people are now embracing a digital-first approach to life and leisure. IDology's "Eighth Annual Fraud Report" shows that one-third of organizations experienced a more than 50% shift to digital channels since the pandemic began. Predictably, customer support needs and contact center activities related to these new services are also soaring.
As a Deloitte adviser serving contact centers told The Wall Street Journal, "The increase in call volume was unprecedented across industries, with some experiencing exponential growth almost overnight."
Further complicating the high volume of calls is the notion that consumers hold businesses to high standards for transactions that are easy and secure. The desire to offer a low-effort, simple experience while also deterring fraud has made identity verification the number one challenge businesses face in addressing fraud, according to the report. To overcome this challenge, contact center leaders need to understand the scope and drivers behind fraud to determine best practices for a successful year ahead.
Fraud & the Pandemic
In many ways, contact centers were in an impossible scenario when the pandemic hit. Many were forced to move their operations off site, just as call volumes soared. What's more, companies recognized that their surging popularity could be short-lived if they failed to provide an incredible customer service experience. Understanding that many customers will leave after a bad contact center encounter, companies were incentivized to streamline processes and reduce verification standards to optimize service opportunities.
Always looking to capitalize on a crisis, fraudsters pounced on the general confusion, concern and distraction that permeated the moment. According to a Forrester Research report on contact center fraud during the pandemic, customer expectations and on-the-ground realities coalesced to make fraud more possible, probable and profitable. Forrester found that the vast majority say that fraud is a "very serious" issue in contact centers. According to IDology's report, contact center identity authentication controls are among the top three areas receiving the most funding among businesses across industries in 2021.
Contact center fraud is especially problematic for digital platforms that have onboarded millions of new customers, many digital novices, who are increasingly unwilling to do business with companies that can't secure their information. Not only are the financial and regulatory implications of fraud incredibly onerous, but the reputational damage can be catastrophic.
After years of high-profile data breaches and seemingly endless data privacy violations, customer sentiment has firmly swung in favor of data privacy. According to IDology's 2020 study, "Unmasking the Implications of Trust, Friction and Fraud in the Digital Realm," consumers are less likely to engage with a business that let fraud slip through. An estimated 56 million Americans reported that knowing a business allowed a fraudulent account to be opened in their name could impact the likelihood of initiating a relationship with that company in the future. This indicates the negative brand connotation and ripple effects from new account fraud. Each instance of fraud can not only lead to financial loss, but also to the loss of a new customer down the road.
At the same time, a lack of trust in the identity verification process has negative downstream consequences on customer engagement and cross-channel selling. When consumers mistrust the identity verification process, it not only leads to abandonment but also to negative downstream impacts on revenue and relationship engagement. The consumer study also showed that 21% would be less likely to purchase additional products/services, and 37% said they would be less likely to keep a payment card on file.
In other words, fighting fraud is a bottom-line customer experience issue that companies can't afford to ignore.
Challenges for Contact Centers
Contact centers are soft targets, staffed with teams tasked with providing impeccable customer service without compromise. These often competing competencies create vulnerabilities that fraudsters can exploit, and they haven't missed the moment.
Without a doubt, the pandemic has exacerbated challenges for contact centers. Many contact centers have decentralized operations, allowing employees to work remotely to maintain operational continuity during a disruptive time. This increases flexibility but makes employees more vulnerable to fraud schemes that can undermine information integrity.
Many contact centers also continue to use high-friction methods to authenticate customers before allowing them to state the reason for their call. According to Aite Group, contact centers are also often recognized as the delivery channel that is most easily compromised by fraudsters, often leading to cross-channel fraud manifested through account takeover (ATO) fraud.
In total, identity verification is the most significant challenge for call centers, and it has many causes.
For starters, billions of records have been compromised in the past several years as data breaches increase in size, scope and frequency. This information is readily available on the Dark Web and hacker forums, where bad actors can quickly and affordably build personal profiles that can be used to trick contact center employees into granting account access or providing other permissions.
Of course, many people post copious amounts of personal information about themselves online, meaning bad actors can often obtain information for identity theft through people-search sites, social media and other digital platforms.
Bad actors are even willing to capitalize on contact center employees' kindness, empathy and customer-centered approach. Using fabricated stories of hardship, grief and loss, fraudsters trick unsuspecting call center employees into divulging account information or providing information access.
Unfortunately, 53% of businesses expect fraud attempts to increase in the year ahead, which drives the impetus for leaders to develop effective strategies to address the most prominent efforts to steal customer information.
How to Restore Integrity
The challenges are immense, but that doesn't mean consumers are willing to give companies a pass. Instead, they expect companies to do more to protect their personal information. Therefore, companies need to optimize their approach to call center data security, allowing agents to provide the best experience possible.
A combination of proactive education and technology can significantly improve call centers' defensive posture. For leaders looking to provide a frictionless customer experience without compromising data security, here are four priorities that can make a difference in 2021.
1. Verify numbers upon entry
Bad actors can compromise data integrity before they even speak with an agent. Automated systems or interactive voice response (IVR) systems offer account activities that allow fraudsters to make substantial inroads to account takeover.
As mentioned earlier, this has become so pernicious that more than half of all businesses now rank identity verification as their top fraud challenge, underscoring the importance of certifying authenticity in a digital-first, automated environment.
An identity verification solution that can verify the phone number of an IVR when in session with a contact center can help prevent this problem. This technology sifts legitimate calls, ultimately creating a more productive customer experience with less friction.
2. Layer identity verification solutions
When customer contacts appear to be spoofed or knowledge-based authentication questions are answered incorrectly, agents need options for quickly escalating to an additional verification methodology in real-time, such as mobile ID scan or one-time verification hyperlinks.
By layering identify verification solutions, contact centers empower agents to diagnose fraud while providing solution methodologies for genuine customer calls. In many cases, agents are the final defense against fraud, and they need the tools to verify legitimate customers while eradicating bad actors.
3. Adapt to the latest trends
Today's threat landscape is continually evolving. Mobile fraud reached an all-time high in 2020 as the pandemic amplified the potency of mobile fraud vectors, opening the door for bad actors to use automatic number identification/caller ID spoofing, porting, device cloning and recycling of phone numbers to commit fraud. Specifically, ANI spoofing was reported as prevalent by 40% of companies in 2020, up 9% from the previous year.
Agents on the front lines of service can be vitally important in preventing fraud. All employees should be aware of the latest techniques used by fraudsters and encouraged to be on the lookout for suspicious callers.
4. Develop and implement proper protocols
As an extensive expose on spam calls, published in The New York Times, powerfully revealed that fraudulent calls are often tense, manipulative affairs that can leave unprepared agents vulnerable to data exposure. Unclear or weak protocols make their jobs exponentially more difficult. Contact centers need to equip agents with best practices for identifying potential fraud and defending customer data.
According to a 2021 Harris Poll, 75% of consumers "will not buy a product from a company—no matter how great the products are—if they don't trust the company to protect their data."
Simply put, today's fraud landscape poses risks and opportunities for companies. Those that provide customers with a frictionless experience without compromising data security are poised to thrive.

errors because no one, not even alphago, plays perfect go. My impression is that the short time limits push players to make gambles, playing risky moves, and hoping the opponent will make a mistake. Of course, people make mistakes in slow games too. But I want players to win by outplaying their opponents, not relying on chance. I admire the attitude of Otake Hideo 9p who resigned a game when he was dissatisfied with his play in a game in which he was ahead. Another admirable thing is how a two stone game between Dosaku (w) and Yasui Shunchi in 1683 considered Dosaku's masterpiece even though Dosaku lost by one point. There is so much more in go than winning.
Actually, pros tend to make less "gambles" in faster games. The thing is, pros usually don't like to completely lose after a single, huge battle. They would rather pick a way that would be less risky, and with less time, many more moves become risky (because with more time, they can read it out and realize that's it's actually not risky).
I think you've got it reversed. A visiting Japanese 9p told me that the fast TV tournament games have more complicated fighting because no one can read things out at 30 seconds per move. In the long time limit games they can read out the fight and see whether it is worth initiating the fight. In the fast game they may start the fight based on "intuition" rather than reading. My observation of TV games confirms that in these games there tends to be more risky fighting.
Couldn't it depend on the pro? Some people are more risk averse than others. Given a situation you can't totally read, your intuition plays a role in your decision, and I doubt every pro reacts the same way under time pressure.
Sure. Of course it depends on the pro. But let me ask you this. How often do you see a pro game finished by move 150? Move 130? Move 100?
Not very often at all. That's what I mean. They might "fight", but it won't be a battle they absolutely positively MUST win. There has to be some flexibility in an eventual trade that still keeps the game relatively balanced or something.
Given a 60% chance for a kill that will end the game right there, and another way that will net them maybe 4-5 points advantage to endgame, they'll pick the latter. The vast majority will, anyway.
But with longer time, that 60% could become 80% or even 100%.
And, I've also heard pros comment in NHK cup and in weiqitv about how they end up not taking risks probably because of time pressure.
idontgetit: logic is a treacherous mistress because one step seems to lead seductively and inexorably to the next. But if you change the starting point you usually end up, just as seductively and inexorably, up another staircase.
If you change your starting point here, you can also get a different perspective. Start with the premise that pros are super good at making good shape and so rarely leave groups in a state where they can ever be killed, then a cataclysmic fight may never be likely to occur. To follow Thurber, when challenged to a duel, you can choose swords but you can also choose nuclear submarines or dirty words at 30 paces. Slightly different scenarios in each case. But you can also avoid challenges.
In any event, early finishes to games may be more common than you suspect. In the last screen page of the GoGoD database, only 4 out of 43 games went to a count. One third finished in under 200 moves, which I suggest is enough to say they usually ended after the middle game and before the endgame.
More important, you may wish to look up a very long article on the topic of risk in Weiqi Tiandi by Wang Xi. He pinpointed the different approaches in national style between Japan, Korea and China in terms of their approach to risk. He identified the Japanese as relatively much more risk averse (their characteristic souba style). One obvious factor to consider in that was, of course, their much longer time limits.
we're not having a poetry competition here.
Having good shape doesn't mean pros don't make weak groups. In fact, it's very rare to see pros without weak groups. There are certainly a lot of times when pros could choose a more risky way to attack that might get a better result, but they choose not to.
But all of that is just me trying to rationalize the point. The reason I hold it though, is simply because I heard pros say it in commentaries that I have watched. That's all.
But it is interesting how pros can have wildly differing opinions on the same things. One thing I find funny is how guys like Meng Tailing ('87) always talks about how he is an old pro now, and can't compete with younger pros in close fighting and reading. Even guys like Shi Yue (born '91) are considered "old" in the go world.
Compared to that, the Japanese go world still sees guys like Terayama Rei ('90) and Mukai Chiaki ('87) as "wakatte".
EDIT: I would also like to clarify my other point before.
I am NOT saying that longer games WILL result in a lower quality game.
1. OCCASIONALLY, you will have found a move with a shorter time, but then because of a longer time, you end up over thinking and choosing another move, when the first move was actually better. OCCASIONALLY.
2. Longer games ARE NOT NECESSARILY better quality than say 4 hour ones. could they be slightly better sometimes? Sure. But they're probably not better all the time, and not by a huge amount. I mean, do you think a 10000 hour time limit would be significantly better than a 9950 hour time limit? Obviously not. There IS a rate of diminishing returns.
The question is just about how much marginal return can you get with an extra 4 hours, when you have 4 already? On one hand, your time just doubled. Which seems like a lot. But on the other hand, people do have a limit with how much their brain can process.
Sooner or later we'll have computer software that can help in evaluating move quality, so the generalizations about game time to move quality can be more precisely known.
Even if Computer software do this stat, it is not going to make any difference. There will be always someone complaints. There is saying "Garbage in, Garbage out.".
Someone will manipulate input to software to produce results they wants. All stats are just reference not absolute. Just leave it alone.
True, I see your point. On the other hand, I think analysis software like CrazyStone (but stronger) can be more objective than a human. The argument of move quality vs. time limits has been discussed here often, and typically the same set of people have the same opinions.
Software could at least add semi-objective analysis to the argument instead of all the hypotheticals. I agree that people can pick and choose their data set, but at least there is real data in that case.
Not that it really matters in any case.
The real difficulty is that changes in theory matter too. So to answer the question, we have to distinguish cases where the pro makes a mistake because they misread from the case where they didn't know about theory that would be developed later.
It's a variant of the old "how would Shusaku do if he could learn modern joseki?" question.
Theory is a factor in game quality.
The question wasn't "are old games better than current games in every way?", but whether more time makes for better play, using old games with longer time limits as one source of information. And longer time limits can make players better apply the theory they already have, and read better, and make better positional judgments, but it won't let them learn theory that took decades to develop.
True, I see your point that we cannot absolutely answer the time limit question, even with an oracle. Your point about developed theory is one example among many.
Nonetheless, an objective measure of game quality is still something I look forward to, because it's much better than the hypothetical discussions we have now.
But anyway, yes, I agree that you still cannot definitively answer the time limit question, even if you can objectively measure game quality.
I didn't mean to imply it was impossible, though my first post could be read that way. There's a lot of this kind of work going on in chess, and I think it's providing value. It just also provokes interminable arguments about what it all means.
I'm not that optimistic about computers shedding light on move quality. It's not clear it would be better than modern pros commenting games of past players, it's just a different set of biases.
1. A probability that black will win.
2. An expectation value for the score.
Let's say that black is ahead (probability of winning > 0.5) and it's black's move. From one point of view black can play any move that does not result in being behind, and although humans might consider some of those moves too slack because they believe it should be safe to try for more, it's hard to say whether those are mistakes without looking at the position in more detail. I suppose if a move both lowers the probability of a win and worsens the score then it's likely a mistake.
If black is behind, it's even harder to say what a mistake is, for the same reason that it's hard to review the white side of handicap games. What's the best overplay? Or should one play as if the score is even and wait for the opponent to make a mistake? We have some evidence that computers often don't play in a way that's strategically effective against humans when behind. To do that, one might have to at least take into account a strength estimate of the opponent. It's not an easy problem for either humans or computers.
So for half the moves the game---i.e., the ones made the player who is currently behind, it may be very hard to come up with a metric for move quality. Any metric may have distortions that punish or reward highly tactical players, for example.
Well, AlphaGo has trained a function for evaluating a position. Presumably it fares better than human judgment. It would seem to me that such a function could be used to evaluate a move.
CrazyStone already has this type of thing, which is useful in reviewing amateur games. Take that and crank it up to pro strength.
Not sure of the details, but maybe computers can help us gain insight in the future.
I definitely think it could be done, at least to a point that is superior and more precise to human professional judgement.
Iyama Yuta just won against Ke Jie.
According to non-goratings ranking, this would be called an upset due to Iyama's low rank.
But not in goratings, as they're both in top 10.
When did Ke Jie get out of the hospital? I'd been worried for him for a while because he was playing to exhaustion. Sure enough, he was hospitalized earlier this month.
I'm surprised Iyama won. This is quite the achievement for Iyama, even if Ke Jie is in poor health and was just discharged from the hospital. I got the impression that Ke Jie at his full strength is almost a stone stronger than Iyama.


Like disinfecting, we use both these terms without necessarily knowing the exact definition.
Me too – this is the first time in 25 years of reading trade periodicals I've sen someone take the time to define them.
Spots add soil to the carpet. Stains may or may not add soil, but also change the color of the fibers.
Also look up "Browning" – which is when your carpet shampoo detergent changes the color of the fiber.

Hi Edward, you don't wanna go their, when u open the phone up all the compoments are fixed to the glass and not the back like most screens, you have to strip the whole phone back, and while you do this you end up braking the camera cables, the 4 cameras and the front of the phone are stuck in with strong glue, i would not advise you to do it yourself, the phone i have is all in bits and i can't use it, i sent my new glass screen back and will get my £54 refund, i bought my fone new on ebay for £126, and now you can buy them new for £100, i'm just going to buy a new phone when i get my refund from the glass screen. i just hope i don't go through this crap again.
there are also Just digitizers on ebay, but they were all priced over this one with a display. Here is one from Chicago for a bit more.
To replace the glass you need to strip all the parts out of the phone because it is all attached to the glass and not the back of the phone. Amazon have been very naughty doing this. You just can't help but brake the camera cables while trying to dismantle it. Good look to anyone who who is manages to replace the glass, their is not any videos's on you tube to show how it is done. i would get someone who knows what they are doing , to fix the phone. i think it is just as cheap to cut your losses and buy a new phone, there pretty cheap these days cause no one is buying em.
thats naughty, you also go to replace all the camera's, if you replace the screen, that is something i didn't order when i got the glass.

Huawei Mate 30 Will Have Android Thanks to Temporary Licence
By Tegan Jones on at
The U.S. Commerce Department of Commerce has confirmed that Huawei will be given an extra 90 days before being added to its Commerce Entity List.
This will allow the company to continue trading with U.S. companies in order to service and finish up work with current customers.
It also means that the Mate 30 series will launch with Android.
The 'temporary general license' was granted due to the initial 90-day license having an August 19 expiration date.
The first reprieve was granted after the Trump Administration signed an executive order that prevented U.S. companies from purchasing telecommunications equipment from foreign companies that were considered a national security risk.
The U.S. department of Commerce had already conveniently declared Huawei and 68 of its subsidiaries to be risks several days before the order was signed. An additional 46 subsidiaries was added to the list at the same time as this week's license extension.
Huawei's displeasure with this decision has been evident.
"We oppose the US Commerce Department's decision to add another 46 Huawei affiliates to the Entity List," the company said in a statement.
"It's clear that this decision, made at this particular time, is politically motivated and has nothing to do with national security. These actions violate the basic principles of free market competition. They are in no one's interests, including US companies. Attempts to suppress Huawei's business won't help the United States achieve technological leadership. We call on the US government to put an end to this unjust treatment and remove Huawei from the Entity List."
The company also continued to criticise Trump Administration's initial ban, despite the temporary reprieve.
"The extension of the Temporary General License does not change the fact that Huawei has been treated unjustly. Today's decision won't have a substantial impact on Huawei's business either way. We will continue to focus on developing the best possible products and providing the best possible services to our customers around the world."
While President Trump announced the possibility of easing these restrictions at the Group of 20 Summit in Osaka back in July, there has been no clarification on whether that will happen. So far it has only been stated that trade licenses will be given on an individual basis so long as, "there is no threat to U.S. national security."
At the present time the extended license will only allow Huawei to purchase U.S. parts in order to service customer orders that occurred before the ban. Any new products will require additional licensing.
Fortunately for Huawei, this means that its next flagship device, the Mate 30, will include Android as well as its future updates.
Despite usually launching in October, this year the Mate series will be arriving in September, presumably because of its issues with the U.S.
The announcement of its own HarmonyOS at Huawei's Developer Conference in early August indicated that the company was preparing for the possibility of launching the series without Android. Fortunately, that won't be a reality.
There are also rumours that its delayed foldable, the Mate X, will launch alongside the Mate 30 in September. This would also presumably allow it to run Android.
Of course, if no further clemency is granted after the new November deadline, these may be the last Huawei devices we see with Android. While this will at least give the company time to fine tune HarmonyOS before the next P-Series launches in 2020, it still throws the future of Huawei's presence in the West into turmoil.
Even before this year's national security concerns/trade war there was already a predominant narrative in countries like Australia and the U.S. about Huawei handsets being "China Spy phones".
Trying to push an unfamiliar operating system on devices that also lack American-based apps such as the entire Google suite and major social media clients, seems like an impossible sell.
Only time will tell how this entire situation will play out. The only thing that is for certain is that this wild ride isn't likely to end anytime soon.
