A Foreign Field No Longer: India, the IPL, and the Global Business of Cricket
Colin Agur
In the past decade India has become the financing hub for cricket, a broadcaster in its own right, and an agenda-setter in the management of all forms of the game. What some commentators have called the 'Indianization' of cricket extends beyond business: it is a social, political, and cultural phenomenon. For five seasons, the Indian Premier League (IPL) has offered a glimpse of this phenomenon, prompting enthusiasm from young fans and those who stand to profit from the new league, and resistance from traditionalists. This paper discusses the material and symbolic roles the IPL has come to play in global cricket. It begins with an overview of the IPL's history, discusses how the IPL is changing the global business of cricket, and explores how the IPL is challenging the traditional culture of the sport. The paper concludes with arguments about the IPL as a grand spectacle, and a cultural phenomenon that, despite its problems, might prove its critics wrong. Throughout, the paper treats the IPL as a useful case study not only in the business of sports, but also more widely in our theoretical and empirical studies of globalization.

Q: connect to oracle db server remotely I have Oracle 9i installed on machine connected to the internet behind NAT, and the Oracle DB server is listening on default port 1521, when I connect over the LAN IP to the database server it works perfectly, and I did  port forwarding on port 1521 to the private IP address in tp-link router to make the Oracle client machine connect to Oracle DB server over public IP, for example: 1521-192.168.0.108 forwarding port and its successful on canyouseeme.org but when I use this command:
SQL>connect username/password@GLOBAL_IP/service_name
Error: ORA_12170: TNS : Connect timeout occurred

*note: when I try to connect to the Oracle database server using Teamviewer vpn, it also  works and connected so how to deal with this ?

A: What is probably happening is that you have a router that doesn't support NAT loopback or the router configuration isn't properly set up.
You can connect from the outside as proven by the fact that canyouseeme.org sees you, and you can VPN into it because TeamViewer connections come from TeamViewer servers (hence the outside), and you can also connect to the internal IP.
If you want transparent connections from the inside and the outside you would need to either set up DNS, so that in your internal LAN the hostname.yourdomain.org points to the internal IP and make sure that from the outside the same hostname points to your external IP or get a router that supports NAT loopback.
There is plenty to find if you google 'nat loopback connect to external ip from lan' or you might find this post on serverfault interesting: Loopback to forwarded Public IP address from local network - Hairpin NAT

A: Community Wiki answer generated from answers originally left as comments on the question
Colin 't Hart:
Oracle's network protocol doesn't play nicely with firewalls, especially in older versions. I believe that the client tells the server to connect back to it on a certain port -- much like the FTP protocol does -- and your firewall doesn't intercept those packets and do anything with them. I think you might be able to use Oracle's Connection Manager to get around the problem. Alternatively, you might be able to create an SSH tunnel and connect over that.
Miracle173:
Define a tns name with SERVER=DEDICATED in your tnsname.ora. something like
net_service_name=
 (DESCRIPTION=
   (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=hostname)(PORT=1521))
   (CONNECT_DATA=
     (SERVICE_NAME=service_name)
     (SERVER=DEDICATED)))

...or use it directly

New Arrivals Alert! It's that time of year when loads of glorious new merchandise is arriving daily. We're back from our summer buying trips and all of the treasures we found at market are making their way to the store. From handcrafted artisan products to the latest trends in home décor and dinnerware, beautiful pieces are turning up every day. Here's a sneak-peek of what's to come.
A celebration of all that is irresistibly Italian, Vietri embodies a love of life, family, and tradition through handcrafted, Italian artisan tableware. Preserving the history and craft of Italian artisans, Vietri brings a world of casual sophistication to your table. Made from the soil of the Italian countryside by artisans who know and love their craft…Vietri is designed to savor those moments that bring joy to our lives.
Their story starts in 1983, when sisters, Susan and Frances Gravely, traveled with their mother, Lee, to the Amalfi coast of Italy. The three women found themselves captivated by their hotel's colorful, handcrafted dinnerware and, after meetings with the artisans who created it, returned home with suitcases full of 'mix and match' pieces. Stateside, friends and family fell in love with these unique designs and the Gravely's recognized the treasures they had found and decided to import this iconic Italian dinnerware to the US.
Truly a handcrafted product, the authentic and imperfect charm is felt in every unique piece. Today, Vietri has become the largest importer of handcrafted Italian tableware and home décor products and has been an essential component of Homefest's dinnerware offering since 1994.
We are thrilled to celebrate this tradition of Italian craftsmanship and beauty with our annual artisan signing event. Please join us Saturday, November 3rd from noon until 4:00 PM when we welcome Italian ceramic artisan Stefano Barbieri, creator of Vietri's Lastra Holiday collection. Stefano will be available to meet with customers and inscribe (in English or Italian) your purchases*. An inscribed Vietri piece makes a wonderful wedding, anniversary or holiday gift.
We'll be celebrating in true Italian style with food, beverage, and friends. The Vietri Pre-Sale begins October 15th and runs through November 5th. Please take 15% off of all of your Vietri dinnerware purchases during the two-week pre-sale** leading up to our signing event.
Wrapped in the mysticism, history, romance and the spirituality of old Mexico, the Jan Barboglio collection has been a cornerstone of the decorative accessories and table-top offering at Homefest from the day Jan released her first collection. To say we are big fans of her beautiful designs goes beyond understatement.
Jan's artisanry found its roots in north-central Mexico where she spent her childhood. After many years designing clothes with her sister Christina, Jan turned to sculpting decorative accessories, furniture and serving pieces for entertaining at home. Embellished with crosses and crowns, scrolls, guardian angels and symbolic bleeding hearts, Jan's collection is well-known for bringing the spirituality of old Mexico and the casual sophistication of Western living to home décor.

For me, my perspective on work and life changed dramatically in the early years of parenthood. At first, I missed my working life, missed the sense of achievement, the social side and the focus. But as many parents find, finding a balance between your kids and work is a challenge. We chose to escape London and became self-employed. I've no doubt that it looks a little barmy to leave your job and friends, to start a business AND have children, but in fact, our kids were the catalyst to starting Swifty.
Working up the career ladder went out of the window, and flexibility around parenting and work became the goal, entrepreneurship beckoned. Now our youngest child is about to start school – we have survived the early years!
The early years – a precious nap.
Our son's first day of school is fast approaching. I can hardly believe it – this IS a momentous occasion! But preparing for the school run is fraught with conflicting emotions. Frustration at the trivialities of getting your little darlings vaguely ready and presentable on time, relief to be back into the routine after the holidays, and heartache to see your little babies growing up and becoming more independent by the day. Most of the time this manifests in a slightly stressed mum!
Swifty is my solution to beat the school run stress. I love scooting with the kids on the school run, it's just great fun. The kids are in a good mood, if they're happy, I'm happy. Once out of the house and in the fresh air, we can whizz along the pavement. But I must admit, carrying kids bags and kids scooters back home have been a bit tricky in the past. Now I have this amazing new pannier bag and I can't wait to use it!
Everything has to be a race at the moment!
This is my SwiftyZERO and my NEW pannier bag from Goodordering. The 16L capacity easily swallows up the PE kits, book bags and lunchboxes, and also the kid's scooters for the way home. It also has a handy zip pocket for my keys and phone.
This new pannier bag easily swallows up lunch boxes, PE kits and book bags.
Take a deep breath and whizz home with the wind in your hair. Step on, and fly home/to work. Swifty is my school-run stress buster.
I love my black SwiftyZERO!
And, here's one for the dads – one of my all-time favourite customer pics from super scooter-dad, Tim.

It's been a while since I was regularly operating my station and much of the coax that is in use has been exposed to the outside environment for over 10 years. I know the best way of testing coax is by using specialised sweep tools, but having only basic testing equipment available I though I should ask the Ham Radio community over on Google+. I think Google+ is an entirely underrated social platform, and I find myself leaning towards it's use more and more.
stick your power/SWR meter on a small patch cable with a dummy load directly on the output of a 2m radio. Set you power out to precisely 10 watts aka 40dBm call this p1. Remove meter from rig. attach suspect cable to rig. attach meter and dummy load to end of cable and measure power again without touching rig output power. call this p2.
p1-p2 = loss for your cable.
look up spec sheet for your cable e.g. RG213 has a loss of ~15db@100MHz for 100m so 15/100 = ~0.15dB loss per metre. e.g If your cable is 34m in length then it should have a loss of ~5.1db aka about 3.5w.
If your 34m cable shows a different value to 3.5w then you should be able to calculate that loss and work out how much worse than the specs it is.
If you have a big dummy load, stick that on the end of the cable with the SWR meter at the radio and pump up the power to max and see if there is any SWR – there should be none. If there is SWR then the cable is most likely damaged in some way that is causing reflection These are good "rule of thumb" tests to check your cables.
Tim then went on to detail in a separate Google+ post a demonstration of his testing.
I was quick to check out the second of the two items, as high SWR was my immediate concern (The SWR without ATU seemed a little higher than I remembered, ranging between 2-3:1). I was pleased to find that it is not the coax contributing to the SWR (which means I need to look at the balun next…). The loss measurement will also come later.
Continuity – just use a multimedia so find any obvious issues like open circuit, or short circuit between the conductor and ground.
Visual – Inspect Coax and connectors for any physical signs for deterioration such as oxidisation around the connectors and ground braid and any indications that the outer jacket of the coax has been damaged or has become brittle, allowing water to enter the coax.
I have unfinished business with the Coax and dipole, so I am sure there will be a post in the future providing a continuation of the testing.

Interstitial Fibrosis
Over the last two decades several publications have reported outbreaks of interstitial lung disease caused by inhalational exposure to a chemical, usually at work, but occasionally in a domestic situation. These outbreaks frequently follow a change in formulation, which may be minor,1 of a chemical already being used in the workplace, or a change in process leading to its aerosolisation.
In 2006, paediatricians in South Korea became aware of a severe, rapid-onset interstitial pneumonitis in young children and infants; the disease responded very poorly to treatment, and mortality rates were close to 50%.2 Its seasonal presentation, with most cases presenting in the spring, raised the possibility of an infective aetiology; hypersensitivity pneumonitis was also considered. The failure to find any microbiological evidence for the former, and the distinct clinical and pathological features that distinguished it from the latter led to the consideration of other hypotheses. As a result, the Korean Centre for Disease Control set up a series of case-control studies designed to examine a wide variety of alternative environmental explanations. In early 2013, the findings of a small (n=16) study of affected children were published3; intriguingly, they indicated that all the cases, but just a third of the matched controls, had exposure to disinfectant used in domestic humidifiers, producing an OR of 2.73.
The epidemic in adults from the same country is described4 alongside the corresponding epidemiological investigation.5 As with the children, there was a very strong seasonal pattern to disease incidence and a clear clustering within families with an apparent predilection for pregnant or recently delivered women; 11 of the 15 female admissions were either pregnant or in the postpartum period. The tissue response was one of progressive, non-granulomatous, inflammation and, again, the disease appeared to have a rapid onset, was resistant to treatment and had a high mortality with five deaths; four patients survived following transplantation, and just two following conventional treatment. The epidemiological study5 established to examine a range of indoor environmental factors, recruited 18 cases carefully matched to 121 hospital controls. The results again identified humidifier detergent as the likely cause of the outbreak, but in this case with an extraordinarily high, adjusted OR of 53.01 (95% CI 6.33 to 444.17); it is not clear whether the apparent susceptibility of young women was related to the state of pregnancy or, perhaps more likely, to an increased exposure to biocide in the home. As a consequence of these findings, biocide detergents were withdrawn from the market in 2011; subsequently, there have been no further new cases reported.
South Korean winters and spring tend to be cold and dry with an average relative humidity of 60–65%. The use of home humidifiers is common there, particularly to relieve respiratory symptoms and dry skin. In a questionnaire survey of pregnant women in three areas of the country, 45% reported using humidifiers in December or January, in most cases for long periods of the day.6 The first biocide for domestic humidifiers was introduced in South Korea in 1994, CMIT/MIT (chloromethylisothiazol/methylisothiazol), and was followed in 2000 by PHMG-phosphate (polyhexamethylene guanidine phosphate), most commonly used by the patients described here, and in 2009 by PGH (oligoethoxyethyl guanidine chloride). The timing of the introduction of PHMG is consistent with the development of this epidemic. Subsequent animal experiments have revealed inflammatory changes, similar to those seen in human cases, in PHMG-exposed and PGH-exposed animals, but not in controls or those exposed to the CMIT/MIT. The guanides are good general-purpose bacteriocides, fungicides and algeocides having a high surface activity which disrupts the cell wall and cytoplasm of a wide range of micro-organisms; their major use is controlling microbiological growth in cooling systems.
The clinical picture described in these papers is unique. The exposure is to a 'nonirritant' chemical delivered in a particulate size capable of penetrating to bronchiolar and alveolar level in the lungs. The domestic humidifiers mainly used by the patients in these papers were warm mist, ultrasonic, and warm mist and ultrasonic; a study from the Korean Center for Disease Control and Prevention7 reported that when humidifier disinfectants are added to distilled water and used in an ultrasonic nebuliser, nanoparticles of 30–80 nm are generated, consisting of PHMG and PGH.
Humidification systems are used mainly in occupational settings where a stable relative humidity is required. They are used widely in a variety of industries including textiles, printing, timber, tobacco, cold stores, data centres, offices and automobile production. In the past, methods of cold water humidification included spraying water into incoming air, dripping water through a fibre mesh through which incoming air is forced, a spinning disc method in which a stream of water is trained against a rotating blade which atomises and blows it out of the humidifier, or the ultrasonic nebulisation of water into incoming air. The three former methods have largely now been discontinued, microbiological growth in static water proving difficult to control even with the use of a biocide.8 Microbial growth in workplace humidification systems has been reported to have caused cases of occupational asthma9 extrinsic allergic alveolitis10 and humidifier fever.11
The water supply to an ultrasonic nebuliser used in the workplace is directly from the mains, avoiding the presence of static water and, thus, the necessity of biocides. In the domestic setting, an ultrasonic nebuliser will have had a water supply coming from a small tank which, if not cleaned regularly, will develop microbial growth. In this outbreak, nebulisers were run with biocide in the water rather than it being used to clean the tank, a practise that was long ago deemed likely to be hazardous.12 Bronchial asthma13 as well as extrinsic allergic alveolitis14 have been described as a result of microbiological contamination of home humidifiers. In Western Europe, the use of home humidifiers is rare; rather, with the introduction of 'tight' buildings, the chief problem is in preventing high levels of humidity occurring in the home.
It is clearly necessary to keep home humidifiers clean, but running them with biocide detergents in the water is contraindicated. The tragedy of the Korean epidemic is a reminder of the importance of a full evaluation of the toxicity of chemical inhalants in the home. In this instance, the intended use of the biocides involved only dermal contact and possible ingestion and, therefore, was exempt from the submission of inhalation toxicology data. The use of these chemicals was then extended to humidifiers without recognition that this change in exposure route might cause significant health effects.

My order was shipped in a timely maner. The description and pictures of the switch I order were very helpful so I knew I was getting the correct replacement part. Quality part.
I am trying to replace a switch that is a 16a 250vac and has six terminals. Does this compare?
This switch is 6 tabs and 10A/250V.


Having attended a number of teaching conferences recently, both in the UK and overseas, a conversation I've had many times with school leaders is about the challenges they face in recruiting new teaching staff. And nowhere does this seem more acute than in the UK. In this post Stuart will explore some of the contributing factors – and what would need to change to turn the tide and make teaching the attractive proposition it once was for the brightest and best.
The findings from the Department for Education's (DfE) most recent School Workforce Statistics Report were as troubling as they were unsurprising to anyone with even the most tenuous knowledge of what faces schools and colleges in these most uncertain of times.
From 2011 to 2015, the number of full time equivalent (FTE) teachers in England steadily grew, broadly – if not precisely – mirroring the growth of schools' student population. Overall, the pupil-teacher ratio* fluctuated between a low of 17.1 and 17.2 in the first four years of that period, with a slight uptick to 17.4 in 2015. In isolation, and without context, 2015 could have been seen as a statistical anomaly. However, the last two years' data suggested it was less an outlier and more a sign of things to come. The subsequent two years saw increases to 17.6 and then 17.9 – the most current data available (2017).
Things downstream look no better. Whilst for the past three years the percentage of teachers leaving the profession (temporarily or permanently) has been stable at 9.9% (though this in itself is an historic high), the proportion of entrants to the teaching workforce has shown a sharp decline. From 2011 to 2014, significantly more teachers joined the profession than left – something critical in maintaining manageable pupil-teacher ratios in a growing populous – 2017 saw an exact replacement rate. One need not be a statistics guru to appreciate that more students and the same number of teachers isn't business as usual, but a real-world shrinking of the workforce.
So what is at the heart of this issue? And, perhaps more importantly, what can be done to turn the tide?
Ask any teacher and you will get a number of reasons for the recruitment crisis, from low morale, ever-increasing paperwork, growing class sizes, the fact that wages have not kept pace with inflation, challenges with budgets…. The list is considerable, and each and every one of them is entirely valid. It would take a politician of an especially Panglossian disposition to challenge the veracity of these issues. To their partial credit, the issue of an untenable workload has been acknowledged (if far from resolved) by this government, starting with 2014's workload challenge and most recently in a joint open letter sent in November to school leaders from a group including Damien Hinds and Amanda Spielman.
But…. Whilst the facts of this reality are not in question (at least not by this writer), it fails to explain the issue at hand as these are mostly challenges for those already in the profession. And, as an aside, it speaks of the remarkable stoicism and unwavering dedication of teachers across the country that the proportion of those leaving the profession hasn't changed significantly. The problem with filling the bath is not that the plug is out, but that the taps are faulty.
So where have the next generation of teachers gone? In times past, it's a well-worn truism that in times of economic troubles, people turn to teaching as a stable career and when the nation's economy is in growth, the profession finds recruiting more challenging. Following 2008's crisis the UK finds itself in an odd position – growth, of sorts, but the popular sentiment doesn't match the figures.
We must ask what makes a career attractive to a graduate, and consider some areas where teaching currently misses the mark. First and foremost, I believe, career-minded graduates are now seeking some degree of stability and certainty – something historically which would have led them to teach.
As a body politic and a nation, stability and certainty are two things most notable by their absence. From a government ruling only with the support of an intransigent partner and an ever-changing cast in and around 10 Downing Street (since 2014 we've had four iterations of government, two Prime Ministers and four Secretaries of State for Education) the corridors of power have rarely been more congested. And this doesn't take into account November's wholesale changes and broader political turmoil, the ultimate impacts of which are, at time of writing, not fully known.
This, however, isn't a local difficulty but touches at the very heart of the education profession, and its ability to attract the best and brightest. With new governments and new Secretaries of State come often sweeping changes to policy. And, from the outside, it is easy to wonder what on earth is going on. Additionally, Her Majesty's Opposition have – not unreasonably from their perspective – recently stated, via Shadow Education Secretary Angela Rayner at the Labour Party Conference, that they will turn back the tide of academisation of schools if they win at the next election. Whatever you think of that specific policy is in this instance immaterial – all it speaks of to the eager graduate is a political landscape, and therefore a state education sector, in a state of constant flux. Young people seeking to build a career do not wish to join a sector not knowing what tomorrow, let alone a decade later, may bring. The stability – perceived or real – that a career in teaching once offered is now markedly less apparent.
When we add to this unappetising mix the impacts of Brexit and the understandable reluctance of EU teachers to move to the UK, regardless of supposed assurances, it is not hard to see why recruitment numbers are low and continuing to drop from the EU. And this sense of not being welcome is having a similar depressive effect on migration from all parts of the globe.
A combination of increasingly fractious politics leading to a push-me-pull-you to the extremities of opinion could, unchecked, create a self-perpetuating cycle of challenges. A cycle which must be broken for the benefit of educators and schools, and indeed the long-term wellbeing of the nation. Teachers and would-be teachers would all benefit from a more stable and steady environment and not one buffeted between the extremes of the body politic.
*Pupil-Teacher Ratio is defined by combining number of Full Time Equivalent (FTE) teacher numbers from the November School Workforce Census with the FTE pupil numbers from the following January School Census.
In our fourth issue of the newly-minted TSP briefing, Editor-at-Large Edward Farrow speaks with Daisy Christodoulou, Director of Education at No More Marking and former Head of Assessment at Ark Schools in a wide-ranging discussion about the gaps – and challenges – in assessment along with her view on the broader SEND landscape.
Stuart Curry, Head of Marketing at Real Group, wanted to share some thoughts – partly prompted by a news story about what is possible, and also by a hazy recollection of a quote from a GCSE history class some (many) years ago. In challenging times, do we take a belt-and-braces, safety-first approach, or do we see the opportunity hidden in the myriad pressures?
We have taken the best of the UK award, augmented it and then changed the rest to make the course agnostic to location or geography, and also have a greater focus on issues that matter to leaders in international schools, like third culture kids, and the intersection of local and scholastic language in students with EAL.

This very powerful course is the second in the advanced course series that you should plan on taking.
In this Course we deal with two big topics. You learn how to get clarity on your life's direction – you let go of the doubts and confusions about your path. You also learn to identify and let go of the fears and frustrations we all share about the body, notably the fear of dying – because that fear is also just another feeling you can now easily let go.
This very powerful course is the second in the advanced course series that you should be planning on taking.
Lester Levenson reminded us "You are not the body!", yet said we are unwilling to let go of that belief so that we can grow. The course takes you through the fears we all share about the body, notably the fear of death and dying, and gives you clarity on what you really are.
Another aspect of Going Free is knowing your Self. The exercises and concepts presented here allow you to develop greater clarity about where you are going in life versus where you could be going. It shows you how to change direction if you so choose with very direct and simple Releasing exercises you probably would not have thought of yourself.
This six-week advanced home study course is on 16 CD's – 8 new Studio-recorded CDs loaded with releases and exercises guided by Larry Crane – and 8 Bonus CDs of a live teleclass on this topic. The Course comes complete with its own workbook. And – upon request – get a telephone releasing partner, too!

BOSTON : DISTRICT FIVE POTENTIAL CANDIDATES
Dave Vittorini (left) with "team Michelle Wu. As her Chief of Staff, and having previously served Councillor Rob Consalvo, Vittorini has the clout and the outreach to be immediately the top contender to win District Five
UPDATE : take Lisa Menino out — she's moved to Canton ! — and add Ruth Georges to the mix. She was Mayor Walsh's neighborhood liaison for Dorchester and Mattapan and to the Haitian community. She's already in the race and, if she turns out to be the only Haitian candidate in the race, has as fine a chance as anyone of making the "final."
With Tim McCarthy not seeking re-election, the list of hopefuls to take the open Council seat could be a long one. Not all will actually submit nomination papers, but several surely will. Here's my list, alphabetical, of those who could well get into this contest — some of whom are already in it :
Ricardo Arroyo : brother of former at-large Councillor (and 2013 Mayoral candidate) Felix G. Arroyo, and son of former Councillor Felix D. Arroyo, who is now Suffolk Register of Probate, he entered the race two weeks ago, before Tim's announcement. I know all the Arroyos very very well; Ricardo has his Dad's gentleness of spirit and his brother's drive. He won't now have the anti-vote to himself, as he would have, because there now will be no anti-vote. But he does have the head start, and in a tough contest, that counts for much.
Lee Blasi : as Tim's chief of staff, Hyde Park's Blasi seems well placed to corrall Tim's support. Blasi has her own network as well, of business women from Roslindale as well as Hyde Park. If she runs, she'll be a serious contender.
Emily Carrara : she's young, barely 24, but this Readville resident, a cousin of State Representative Angelo Scaccia, has already worked several campaigns. Soft spoken and extremely likeable, her demeanor, dedication, and connections — and her age : campaigns are run mostly by people that young, and younger — would make her a serious contender if she runs.
Andrew N. Cousino : he ran for this seat in 2013 and has since worked in Mayor Walsh's administration. He's from upper Roslindale, not far from the Pleasant Cafe, a vote-rich area. His chances depend on who runs and who doesn't. If he's the only Roslindale candidate he could well make the final.
Will Dorcena : brother of Linda Dorcena Forry, he lives in the Gordon Avenue area in the heart of Hyde Park and has his own following, apart from his sister's, and if she decides to get fully involved, from her strong position of connection to power as a Suffolk Construction executive, the combination could easily put him into the final. The District has a large Haitian-ancestry vote bloc, easily enough, given a decent outreach to Five's non-Haitian voters, to win him the whole thing.
Conor E. Freeley : He's finishing up at Temple University, lives in upper Roslindale, and was a summer intern in Mayor Walsh's office. Freeley is deeply rooted in the neighborhood, graduated Boston Latin School — always a big deal in local Boston campaigns — and now works for a well known Pennsylvania state Delegate from a Philadelphia district. Freeley has made it known that he would like to run for office back at home; now is his chance, maybe ? If he runs, and Cousino and Carrara do not, he could well make the final.
Segun Idowu : executive director of the Black Economic Council, and a Hyde Park resident, he was a candidate in last November's state election, seeking the State Representative seat long held by Angelo Scaccia. He finished third in that primary — Gretchen van Ness placed second — but his name is now known, which puts him ahead of most of my other likelies.
Lisa Menino : daughter in law of late Mayor Tom Menino, Lisa and her husband Tom Menino Junior hosted Governor Baker's campaign in District Five — a campaign that saw Baker improve his Five showing from 24 percent in 2014 to 47 percent this time. (Baker improved by 19.5 percent citywide; his improvement in District Five was better than that. In 2014 he carried no precincts in Five; this time he won six and just missed winning three more.) Clearly Lisa (her husband too) has and can command a following, or two : those who worked for Baker and the even larger group who were her Dad in law's home-base. If she enters the race, and no other Readville candidate does, she'd be a very serious contender to make the final.
Robert Orthman : I have no idea if Robert, whom I know well, wants to leave the comforts of City employment and campaign activism to put his own name on the ballot, but were he to do so he would, in my opinion, immediately become THE Roslindale candidate. I'm not sure of his reach into Hyde Park, but being the only Roslindale candidate, and able to win a sizeable number of its votes (12w of 25 precincts), would make him a serious contender.
Mimi Turchinetz : she's an attorney in Boston City government, a lifelong Hyde park resident, an activist in progressive and community affairs, and she ran for the Five seat in 2013. No matter what the field looks like, she'll be a serious contender given her vast lines of connection and her reputation as a practical-minded progressive.
Gretchen van Ness : another attorney, a civil rights activist, great public speaker, Fairmount Hill neighborhood activist, and was the runner-up to Angelo Scaccia in last year's State Representative contest. Again, no matter what the field looks like, she'd be a very serious contender to make the final and even to win the whole shebang.
Dave Vittorini : he may well be the insiders' pick, especially if Lee Blasi does not run. Vittorini has worked for John Connolly, Rob Consalvo, and now Michelle Wu. I doubt that any of the candidates can better his deep and wide connections to every corner of Five, and few can match them. If he runs, he's probably the favorite to win it all.
Glenn Williams : emcee of Roslindale Parade dinners, activist in all things Rozzie, art studio right on Belgrade Avenue, if he were to run, and no other Roslindale candidate joins in, he probably gets into the final. (So might Robert Orthman.) But that's the problem : can Roslindale unite ? It hasn't the vote power to get anyone into the final if it does not do so.
As for me, I don't live in Five, but 32 years ago I sought public office in a District covering half of the Council area. I have knocked thousands of its doors, and recently as well. I know almost all these potential candidates personally; any one of them would accredit a District that gave the City a legendary Mayor and whose other Counciollors — Dan Conley, Rob Consalvo, and of course Tim — have left major marks upon Boston public custom. And who's to say there won't be a candidate or two, or three, other than those who I have singled out ? After all, I don't know everybody, despite what I sometimes claim. Let the fun now begin.

There are lots of flame shells (Limaria hians) to be seen at this site. They inhabit the sand and gravel seabed at depths of 10-12m.
This extensive flame shell bed of 50 hectares was recorded at Otter Spit, Loch Fyne, with around half the bed exhibiting nest coverage values greater than 50%. Fyne Pioneer was involved in the survey of this flame shell reef with Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH) in summer 2012. The flame shell resembles a scallop with a bright orange fringe of filaments emerging from between the valve of its shell. The bivalves make sticky threads which bind stones and pieces of shell debris into a felt-lined nest. Holes in the reef allow fresh seawater to flow through, preventing stagnation. The live animals cannot be seen unless the mat-like nest is torn open.


We are in an era where the old dichotomy of knowledge and ignorance, and of facts and values is being transcended.
Science is no longer seen as the inevitable advance in certainty of our knowledge and control of the natural world. Science must now be judged by its capacity to anticipate uncertainty and emergence.
The new science must be based on assumptions of unpredictability, imperfect data and incomplete understanding. Uncertainty must not be banished but cultivated.
The new science must deploy an orientation to posing prior and posterior probabilities. The new science liberate fact to the power of new evidence.
The resurgence of Baye's Theorem offers an invaluable tool for Post Normal Science.
And if you are not thinking like a Bayesian, perhaps you should.
John Allen Paulos' review of Sharon McGrayne's book on Bayesian Theory is elegant and should cause us to be more hopeful about grappling in a world where reductionist analytic worldview is yielding to systemic, recursive and humanistic approaches.
Sharon Bertsch McGrayne introduces Bayes's theorem in her new book with a remark by John Maynard Keynes: "When the facts change, I change my opinion. What do you do, sir?"
Bayes's theorem, named after the 18th-century Presbyterian minister Thomas Bayes, addresses this selfsame essential task: How should we modify our beliefs in the light of additional information? Do we cling to old assumptions long after they've become untenable, or abandon them too readily at the first whisper of doubt? Bayesian reasoning promises to bring our views gradually into line with reality and so has become an invaluable tool for scientists of all sorts and, indeed, for anyone who wants, putting it grandiloquently, to sync up with the universe. If you are not thinking like a Bayesian, perhaps you should be.
At its core, Bayes's theorem depends upon an ingenious turnabout: If you want to assess the strength of your hypothesis given the evidence, you must also assess the strength of the evidence given your hypothesis. In the face of uncertainty, a Bayesian asks three questions: How confident am I in the truth of my initial belief? On the assumption that my original belief is true, how confident am I that the new evidence is accurate? And whether or not my original belief is true, how confident am I that the new evidence is accurate? One proto-Bayesian, David Hume, underlined the importance of considering evidentiary probability properly when he questioned the authority of religious hearsay: one shouldn't trust the supposed evidence for a miracle, he argued, unless it would be even more miraculous if the report were untrue.
The theorem has a long and surprisingly convoluted history, and McGrayne chronicles it in detail. It was Bayes's friend Richard Price, an amateur mathematician, who developed Bayes's ideas and probably deserves the glory that would have resulted from a Bayes-Price theorem. After Price, however, Bayes's theorem lapsed into obscurity until the illustrious French mathematician Pierre Simon Laplace extended and applied it in clever, nontrivial ways in the early 19th century. Thereafter it went in and out of fashion, was applied in one field after another only to be later condemned for being vague, subjective or unscientific, and became a bone of contention between rival camps of mathematicians before enjoying a revival in recent years.
The theorem itself can be stated simply. Beginning with a provisional hypothesis about the world (there are, of course, no other kinds), we assign to it an initial probability called the prior probability or simply the prior. After actively collecting or happening upon some potentially relevant evidence, we use Bayes's theorem to recalculate the probability of the hypothesis in light of the new evidence. This revised probability is called the posterior probability or simply the posterior. Specifically Bayes's theorem states (trumpets sound here) that the posterior probability of a hypothesis is equal to the product of (a) the prior probability of the hypothesis and (b) the conditional probability of the evidence given the hypothesis, divided by (c) the probability of the new evidence.
Consider a concrete example. Assume that you're presented with three coins, two of them fair and the other a counterfeit that always lands heads. If you randomly pick one of the three coins, the probability that it's the counterfeit is 1 in 3. This is the prior probability of the hypothesis that the coin is counterfeit. Now after picking the coin, you flip it three times and observe that it lands heads each time. Seeing this new evidence that your chosen coin has landed heads three times in a row, you want to know the revised posterior probability that it is the counterfeit. The answer to this question, found using Bayes's theorem (calculation mercifully omitted), is 4 in 5. You thus revise your probability estimate of the coin's being counterfeit upward from 1 in 3 to 4 in 5.
A serious problem arises, however, when you apply Bayes's theorem to real life: it's often unclear what initial probability to assign to a hypothesis. Our intuitions are embedded in countless narratives and arguments, and so new evidence can be filtered and factored into the Bayes probability revision machine in many idiosyncratic and incommensurable ways. The question is how to assign prior probabilities and evaluate evidence in situations much more complicated than the tossing of coins, situations like global warming or autism. In the latter case, for example, some might have assigned a high prior probability to the hypothesis that the thimerosal in vaccines causes autism. But then came new evidence - studies showing that permanent removal of the compound from these vaccines did not lead to a decline in autism. The conditional probability of this evidence given the thimerosal hypothesis is tiny at best and thus a convincing reason to drastically lower the posterior probability of the hypothesis. Of course, people wedded to their priors can always try to rescue them from the evidence by introducing all sorts of dodges. Witness die-hard birthers and truthers, for example.
McGrayne devotes much of her book to Bayes's theorem's many remarkable contributions to history: she discusses how it was used to search for nuclear weapons, devise actuarial tables, demonstrate that a document seemingly incriminating Colonel Dreyfus was most likely a forgery, improve low-resolution computer images, judge the authorship of the disputed Federalist papers and determine the false positive rate of mammograms. She also tells the story of Alan Turing and others whose pivotal crypto-analytic work unscrambling German codes may have helped shorten World War II.
Statistics is an imperialist discipline that can be applied to almost any area of science or life, and this litany of applications is intended to be the unifying thread that sews the book into a coherent whole. It does so, but at the cost of giving it a list-like, formulaic feel. More successful are McGrayne's vivifying sketches of the statisticians who devoted themselves to Bayesian polemics and counterpolemics. As McGrayne amply shows, orthodox Bayesians have long been opposed, sometimes vehemently, by so-called frequentists, who have objected to their tolerance for subjectivity. The nub of the differences between them is that for Bayesians the prior can be a subjective expression of the degree of belief in a hypothesis, even one about a unique event or one that has as yet never occurred. For frequentists the prior must have a more objective foundation; ideally that is the relative frequency of events in repeatable, well-defined experiments. McGrayne's statisticians exhibit many differences, and she cites the quip that you can nevertheless always tell them apart by their posteriors, a good word on which to end.
John Allen Paulos, a professor of mathematics at Temple University, is the author of several books, including "Innumeracy" and, most recently, "Irreligion."


The event and trade show business is a $115 billon dollar industry. Marketers like you and me feed this multi-billion-dollar space marketers because, according to the event automation company Certain, we list events as our second most effective tool for driving revenue in 2016, after direct marketing.
Undeterred by the rising costs of events, marketing teams still invest heavily into live events. According to a report by the event technology company Bizzabo, 24% of a CMO's marketing budget goes toward live events.
Like many of you, event marketing is one tactic I use in my overall strategy. Along with executing events, I help run our company's annual conference–SpiceWorld.
Each year over 50 vendors come to SpiceWorld to reach the over 1,500 IT buyers in attendance. And each year our staff aims to help vendors get the best return on their high-dollar investment.
Throughout the years, we've seen lots of creative booth experiences – margarita machines, bacon ice cream, magicians, and even a full-size bus driven on the trade show floor. Keeping in that in mind, we've learned how marketers can help achieve a great return on any IT buyer focused conference.
Who does your customer want to engage with at the booth? What subject matter expert will elevate your brand's message as well as provide useful information to the user?
Many marketers bring only sales reps to the booth. This, truthfully, may not be the best way to engage with an IT buyer. Consider having your product engineers there to answer hard-hitting technical questions on the spot.
IT buyers appreciate when their technical questions are answered quickly and by the experts who understands their challenges. That's why your care in staff choices will help create a great booth and client experience.
What does success realistically look like for your high-dollar investment?
1) Influenced pipeline – that should be X times the costs of the event.
2) Opp creation from total inquiries collected.
All of these are clear KPIs I can measure via programs like Salesforce and Marketo. This clarity helps keep you focused on outcome.
In the end, these clear measurement points help guide the customer experience and creates a smooth hand off with sales.
Does your swag connect to your company's brand and booth message?
Vendors bring all sorts of swag to #SpiceWorld2018… and IT pros love it! Sometimes though swag can just be swag – pen here, a koozie there. Strive to bring swag that highlights your message, connects to a broader theme, and can create buzz to drive traffic back to the booth. When you create a cohesive experience, the attendees are more likely to remember you and your whole message instead of just the cool piece of swag they got.
For example, we here at Spiceworks wanted to share with tech marketers on how we can help you not lose sleep over connecting with IT pros.
We planned a whole booth experience to showcase how we can help tech marketer better understand and connect with IT pros by creating marketing campaigns the IT pros will resonate with. For our swag, we gave away branded sleep masks which tied together our message and theme of not losing sleep.
Try out these tips at your next conference! Better yet, get help from our team of experts when you sponsor #SpiceWorld2018.

You're right, I have said "If you can't measure it, you can't manage it". However, I need to point out that that quote is generally attributed to Edward Deming (though his original quote was a bit lengthier than that) and is sometimes incorrectly attributed to Peter Drucker.
Great tips for a cohesive trade show plan. Thanks Todd!
I'm glad this helped you, Sara!

A popular community café, the Watcombe Catch Up Café, has marked its first anniversary by making Christmas donations at a special celebration.
Set up by local residents, with help from the Torbay Community Organisers and supported by Sanctuary Housing, the café staff held a festive get-together and made donations of £100 to a local Scout group and Watcombe Wanderers FC.
The celebration commemorated the success of the café's first year following its establishment thanks to funding from both Sanctuary and Sovereign Housing, supported by the South West Foundation.
"If someone had said to me in December 2014 that we would celebrate our first anniversary I wouldn't have believed them. The café is so popular and it's going from strength-to-strength, thanks to the support of Sanctuary and the Community Organisers.
"The Community Organisers have been involved in a range of neighbourhood projects and the Watcombe Catch Up Café is really thriving.
We aim to support the development of successful and sustainable communities, which is really being achieved here.
The Watcombe Catch Up Café is open every Wednesday between 10am to 2pm at the Medway Centre and all Watcombe residents are welcome.
This project was joint-funded by Sanctuary Group's Community Investment Fund, supporting projects which benefit Sanctuary residents and their communities, and Sovereign Residents' Panel through their Make A Difference Fund which allocates grants for community activities in areas in which Sovereign has properties.

60m English The Elephant Gambit
The Elephant Gambit (1.e4.e5 2.Nf3 d5!?) has never really been given the attention it deserves. It is a very useful surprise weapon. Let us list the advantages of playing this particular opening: 1) Shock value 2) It is very aggressive. Black can take over the initiative early. 3) Many tricky lines 4) Unorthodox. Black is basically taking the game to the opponent as early as move two. Not many openings do that! It's a perfect opening for young players and club players to adopt. Let Andrew Martin select a repertoire for you on this 60 mins, which, if used with discretion, will rack up the points. I am sure that you will enjoy this unusual tour of the Elephant Gambit.
