10 Best Tools for Academic Researchers in 2022
Today we use dynamic research to watch the videos, website browsing, study of analytics, and carry on our research by doing a survey of the vast digital content. This process holds the technology as a major stalk holder because it makes the research successful. It takes a lot of time and effort to find out the verified content from infinite websites and take out the only best stuff. Mentioned below are the 10 best tools for academic researchers in 2022.
Zotero is widely using as a reference management tool. It helps in the collection, arrangement, citation, and sharing of the research. Plus, it is very easy to use. Bibliographic data can automatically be fetched by Zeterobib from the articles of magazines, catalogs of libraries, journal manuscripts and sites such as Amazon.
It is really useful for the students wanting dissertation help UK as its services are completely free. It can rapidly create a bibliography in many citation styles. The source can be integrated by the use of URL, DOI, ISBN, arXiv ID, etc.
If you want to visualize and then publish your data this software is right for you as it can be handled easily and it is free. This tool will help you to form interactive graphs, maps, and dashboards in no time. The visualization of your data can be saved in Tableau Public profile and it can be shared on the web anywhere you like. The latest software 2020.2 version is only available in macOS and Microsoft Windows.
Citation Gecko
This website finds papers from the seed papers. The disadvantage is papers can't be exported to reference managers. Barney Walker developed this app which plays a big role in discovering literature. you just have to upload seed papers in it to visualize or fetch the research papers. It takes only a few seconds to fetch the papers. From the OpenCitation, this tool imports the references. There are different modes of visualizing the academic articles"
Seed papers citing papers
Seed papers cited by papers
It'll be a good step to extract the RIS/BibTeX from the PDF file that is upload. You can easily import it into a reference manager.
Google Scholar consists of scholarly research all around the world and helps find the relevant one. It is one of the biggest indexes containing scholarly materials from around the world.
Not only it is the world's biggest index but also one of the latest and huge academic search engines.
It is not limited to a specific type. One can search about vast sources and disciplines may it be articles, thesis, books, patents,t or other scholarly materials. A lot of people working for a PhD dissertation proposal writing services use it for proper research.
One can find a variety of 390 million literature that are scholarly and they are of different disciplines which can be accessed easily. Moreover, it is also possible to reach both open and closed sources.
Google Dataset Search Engine
Whether it is free or paid, it will provide the results of the search depending on the license of formats like CSV, pdf, txt, JSON, images, and their source. It does not provide direct access to the data.
Government and institutions that research provide a lot of data which includes almost 2 million datasets from alone US government.
If you need a formatting document preparation system that is of high quality and obtains has features that are preparing for the documentation of technology and science then LaTex is the best place to visit. You'll find a de facto standard of interaction and for the publication of documents that are scientific.
LaTex is considered to be better than a word as it is linked with a reliable program of typesetting, bibliographic, footnotes, images, captions tables, cross-references, and much more. Microsoft word has a lot of features as well, but it does not consist of all of them whereas LaTex has a better, flexible, aesthetic, and intelligent manner of carrying it.
Google Form
By the use of your Gmail account, Google form helps you to design any type of form you want, for example, feedback, surveys, etc. all kinds of surveys and respondents are supporting by Google Form.
OpenRefine (Erstwhile Google Refine)
Data cleaning job requires a lot of knowledge of programming even though the most important languages data cleaning are Python, R, and Julia and is a very difficult job for non-technical users.
So, for such users, OpenRefine is the best place as it requires no skills and is very easy to use. It is widely known as a powerful cleaning tool of data and is use by researchers' librarians etc. Moreover; it provides reuniting services that clean the data after matching it with other resources. Furthermore, it clusters values to finish the dirt-free text fields. Additionally, it can also be transformed from one format to the other. You can easily explore huge data sets.

Q: Android Memory Allocator - Does memory need to be contiguous? Does free heap space have to be contiguous for gralloc() calls to succeed?  Or can gralloc() return sparse free heap segments to satisfy a request? i.e. heap fragmentation

A: I'd say that's up to the UMP device driver (which Gralloc merely interfaces with), but could be wrong. The driver/hardware may or may not have a way to map non contiguous UMP memory pages into a seemingly contiguous CPU address space. Does that make sense?

Fiona McHardy, Revenge in Athenian Culture. London: Duckworth, 2008. Pp. vii, 179. ISBN 9780715635698. $70.00.
Reviewed by Ruth Scodel, The University of Michigan
This book wants, above all, to make an important point about revenge: that whether fifth-century Athenians attempted to take revenge for injuries, and how they went about it, was not simply a matter of following a code, but, inevitably, a matter of rational calculation of potential costs and benefits. It participates in an ongoing debate that has engaged, in different ways, scholars with interests and methods as different as (for example) Gabriel Herman, Danielle Allen, and William Harris, but its approach and conclusions are its own.1 McHardy uses evidence mainly from the orators, tragedy, Herodotus, and (more problematically) Homer, on the assumption that the Homeric poems were a significant influence on the thinking of Athenians. She argues that violent revenge was likeliest in sexual offenses against women, while exile typically sufficed for homicides. Property disputes, she argues, were closer to sexual offenses, while a strong tendency to seek reconciliation governs the response to personal insults. In a final chapter, she examines the complex motivations of Orestes' revenge in Homer and tragedy. She also argues that women are generally portrayed as eager for revenge, whatever the consequences--they do not perform the rational calculations men do.
Throughout, there are both passages of real insight and disputable interpretations. Although I am very sympathetic to the argument that revenge behaviors depend on a cost-benefit analysis--and the argument about women as revengers convinces me--I am very uneasy with the book. Sometimes I am simply not convinced because I do not see enough evidence--my sense from Lysias 1, for example, though it is really only an intuition, is that killing adulterers was not regular practice. In any case, one instance is not enough.
Most of my uneasiness is methodological, though, and since these issues are more interesting and important than my agreements, I shall give them more attention, although this is unfair to the book itself. My main concern about the central claim is that, even though it seeks to complicate oversimplified ideas about how Athenians viewed and took revenge, it may not complicate them enough. First, not only rational considerations would come into play (a point McHardy acknowledges on 102, where she comments that young men can get carried away). Homo economicus does not exist. Second, even more factors could enter the calculation than those, such as relative status, that McHardy considers. For example, classical Athens was a not a culture that refused to recognize accidents, as the world of the Norse saga does. Even if the victim did not want to forgive someone who offended accidentally or under severe provocation, the community might apply pressure. The circumstances surrounding an offense, whether it involved women, property, or life, would influence how the community would judge revenge and so the calculations of the potential avenger. McHardy assumes, largely on the basis of Lysias 1, that it would be less honorable to accept financial compensation from a sexual offender than to kill him. Maybe. But Euphiletus makes a completely unverifiable claim that Eratosthenes was a habitual seducer, surely because he feared that if the jurymen suspected that his wife had initiated the adultery, they might pity Eratosthenes. On the other side, Athenians had to worry that, if they accepted compensation, they would be suspected of having colluded in the adultery for profit. (McHardy makes the excellent point about this speech that Euphiletus emphasizes how carefully he watched his wife before his child was born: he wants no doubts of his son's legitimacy).
Then there is the use of Homer. On p. 78, McHardy compares the Athenians of ps.-Demosthenes 53 to Homeric characters, suggesting that they "inspired by the mythical heroes" when deciding about how to act in property disputes. But the sneaky plotting of which Apollodorus accuses Nicostratus, while it resembles some episodes of the Epic Cycle (the murder of Palamedes), is not very much like the open cattle-raiding of the Homeric world, and the combination of covert violence with recourse to the courts is very different from anything in Homer. Throughout, the book could be more subtle in distinguishing underlying emotions, which may be the same for classical Athenians and Homeric heroes, and their methods of seeking revenge. Even if much classical Athenian justice is basically about revenge, it makes a difference whether a man seeks revenge by killing his enemy, or his enemy's cousin, or goes to court. Similarly, McHardy is surely right to call on the evidence of Herodotus and tragedy, but exactly how such representations were received and either echoed or influenced actual social behavior is very hard to know, and needs careful and subtle discussion.
The book's method relies on a very generalized set of anthropological parallels and on evolutionary psychology. This latter is an interesting attempt, but I do not think that it succeeds. Evolutionary psychology explains with such generality that it explains very little. McHardy believes that evolutionary psychology explains why sexual offenses are revenged more violently than homicide, and why property, which is vital for reproductive success, also prompts more violence than homicide does. Yet I am not entirely sure that it is true that property carries more evolutionary weight than the lives of one's close relatives--while it is true that wealth and the ability to protect it is necessary for an individual's reproductive success, selfish genes should be directed to protecting other family members who can also reproduce them. If the evidence showed that homicide prompted more violence than attacks on property, evolutionary psychology would explain that, too; it tends to become a form of aetiology.
Evolutionary psychology can explain why, in a very general way, men tend to more intense sexual jealousy than women do, while women are more concerned that men devote their resources to them and their children. But that does not say much about, for example, the Odyssey, where the suitors contend for a woman whose reproductive potential must be past its best. If Odysseus were primarily defending his reproductive future, as McHardy believes he is, one would have expected him, in rejecting Eurymachus's offer of compensation, to say something about the suitors' attempt to kill his son, which is their most direct attack on his genes' future. That is the weakness of the book. Repeatedly, McHardy bases her argument not on what the text at hand actually says, but on what she believes it implies on the basis of her theoretical assumptions. McHardy claims, for example, that an adulterer who eludes detection wins by having someone else bear the costs of raising his child (47). Now genetic forces may well make young males sexually aggressive, because this adulterous strategy could, indeed, work. But when Greeks actually talk about children, they express a desire for legitimate heirs or at least children who can be acknowledged and have obligations to their fathers. As a potential victim of adultery, the Athenian man is very aware that his wife's reproductive potential might be stolen, but that does not mean that it is her reproductive potential that the adulterer wishes to steal.
McHardy notes that Agamemnon in the Iliad mentions his intention of having sexual relations with Chryseis, that he claims to like her as much as Clytemnestra, and that he takes an oath that he has not used Briseis sexually. Since, if we rely on evolutionary psychology, sexual jealousy is fundamentally about reproduction, the oath implies that Achilles would need to be sure that any child Briseis bore was his own (59-60). Yet the heroes never refer to any interest in having children with their captives. (Briseis at Il. 19.297-99 says that Patroclus told her that Achilles would marry her. This may be a comfort to her because it would protect her reproductive potential, although it may be entirely about status.) McHardy interprets the citizen law of Pericles as intended to prevent men from obtaining children from slaves and captives (p. 60). That was surely not the main object of the law; the mysterious "concubine kept for begetting free children" is surely not a slave. There are, of course, many myths in which the children of slave women are important, like Teucer and Andromache's son by Neoptolemus. Yet in no case does it seem that the production of these children was the father's aim. I think it is important, when we consider Ajax' speech to Eurysaches (Sophocles, Ajax 545-76), to realize that it is only because Ajax is going to die without legitimate issue that Eurysaches becomes the heir.
In the discussion of Medea, she sees Medea's case as an inversion of the usual male responses and compares the situation of Medea's children to the children of an adulteress. But Medea's children are not victimized by social stigma; they are being, potentially, replaced. Jason claims that he seeks powerful half-brothers for his sons, but he does not seem to fight very hard against his sons' being exiled. Here, perhaps, evolutionary psychology might contribute. We have cases both in the contemporary West and in classical Athens in which men neglect existing children in favor of new sexual relationships, and this may reflect the advantages in reproduction of a many-children low-investment strategy. Yet Athenians actually tend to assume that women are capable not only of intense resentment of rivals for the father's investment in their children but also of intense sexual jealousy. Jason himself says so; it is taken for granted in Trachiniae, and in Antiphon's speech against the stepmother.
On the last paragraph, McHardy notes that her approach is likely to be controversial, and expresses the hope that the book will prompt further discussion. I certainly hope that it will. Very rarely have I felt moved to complain that a book is too short. Still, I cannot but wonder whether longer and more detailed discussions that brought together this study's special perspective with fuller treatments of the rhetorical goals of each passage would not have been persuasive. As it is, it is successfully very provocative, but frustrating.

Part of the show Criminal Chemistry: What's Your Poison?
Peter - Yes, because there's actually money to be made and it's been done for many years. In the 50s it was definitely governments doing it and then the military got involved. GPS, that can only be done from space - we all use GPS in our satnavs. Telecoms, telephone calls, TV, a lots of that's from satellites. But new things like imagery, crops, deforestation, mining, etc.
To give you an idea there are 8,000 manmade objects up there bigger than about 10 cms across of which about 1700 are actually in use. And of those, just using the USA figures, 60% are actually commercial, the other 40% are military and government.
Izzie - SpaceX have said that this year their latest rocket, Falcon Heavy, is going off into space so tell us about it. What is it and how does it work?
Peter - First of all, SpaceX is one of several companies that a guy called Elon Musk, who's quite well known certainly in the tech industries, has built including Tesla Motors, which you might have heard of and Solar City. He employs about 70,000 people in total of which 7,000 work for SpaceX which is sort of heading towards being profitable because it launches satellites for people.
Now the Falcon Heavy is obviously his heaviest one, his biggest one. It's got 27 engines and it's got the thrust of the equivalent of 18 jumbo jets. All the three rockets - it has three rockets - are reusable, which actually makes it cheaper because they come back down to Earth, land and can be reused. It will take 64 tons into low Earth orbit, which is actually quite a lot smaller than Saturn 5. Some of the listeners might remember the Saturn 5 that launched the moon trips in the late 60s and 70s, which actually carried 140 tons.
The aim of this, apart from taking stuff up into orbit, is to get to the Moon with humans and then, potentially, to Mars. First launch was supposed to be 2013. It was supposed to happen this weekend but it hasn't happened . He's actually going to launch his own very first Tesla car there and it's being sent on a trip to Mars this thing, so it won't come back again. He's expecting to charge about 90 million pounds per launch so, therefore, there is actually a commercial model.
Izzie - My goodness! Is there much competition out there for launching things into space?
Peter - Yeah. Originally, as I said, it was governments, then it was the European Space Agency. Nowadays I've found over 50 companies that will put something into space for you. A whole new industry that's called New Space which includes things like nanosats, which are tiny 10 cm by 10cm by 10cm cubes which schools send up. There's energy harvesting, there's even fuel services.
Izzie - What are those nanosats used for?
Peter - They're used for experimentation so this is going back to research, but research of all kinds of things in weightless conditions or outside the atmosphere.
Izzie - But take it to the extreme, what about me? Is there a chance that I could spend a holiday in space?
Peter - There is and I'll give you some figures. I don't know whether it would be a holiday or not, but SpaceX have got two people who paid a deposit to go up to space later this year, whether that happens or not. The sort of pricing that seems to be on the internet is probably between a quarter and a half a billion dollars for each trip round the Moon.
If you take the average, apparently according the Mumsnet, you pay 10% of your annual wages on holidays. That means you've got to be earning between about a billion and 2 billion which, apparently, there are 20 or 30 people in the world that do that. If you go out of capital because remember it's a holiday of a lifetime, then there are actually several thousand people that could afford 100 million plus. I doubt that includes anybody here in the studio. It certainly doesn't include me.
Izzie - I'd better start saving then. But why are companies investing in space when, arguably, we could look at other opportunities for improving infrastructure here on Earth?
Peter - Yeah, that's been a question for many many years. And NASA's been pushed back a lot of times over the years about the expenditure. It's just general human nature the fact that people want to explore. Not particularly conquer but want to understand new things about life.
There's also a lot of other things. We've had people in the studio talking about terraforming. This is the concept of converting other planets for normal life so, if we really do break this planet, which is still a good possibility we will, maybe we have to move some of the population away from Earth. Maybe we're too many people for this Earth to support. And there's a whole stack of other things like asteroid and Moon mining for materials. There's scientific research itself. Somethings can only be done from space as I mentioned earlier, the schools.
Then there's a lot of things been generated from the space programme: integrated circuits, a long time before you were born. The space programme did that. Freeze dried food, that actually came out of that. Metal coated plastics, there's a whole stack of things that come out of that.
But in the end, philosophically I couldn't say definitely we should spend it on health as opposed to space or vice versa.
Izzie - Fair enough. And finally, would you want to spend a holiday in space if you could?
Peter - Well, a) I can't afford it; b) I can't justify it, and c) there's quite a lot of interesting places to see on this Earth.
Georgia - How much of a carbon footprint is involved in all of these missions going up? Is it equivalent to planes going around; is it the same kind of ballpark?
Peter - Yeah, it will be. If you take the thrust of 27 jumbos then you're going to be generating that much carbon from that, exactly. If you do that per person, if you take 17 jumbos which maybe 500 people, that's 8½ thousand people travelling for a period of time. You've got two people going up there, clearly there's no comparison there, clearly it's a lot more. There has to be other reasons for doing that.
It will be a long time before we can use a non-carbon based fuel to get up there. There is the talk of electric aircraft and that may well happen if that electricity had been generated by another source other than carbon - nuclear whatever or wind. Then that would not generate the carbon in the motion but you've still got the manufacture. Cradle to grave carbon production needs to include actual manufacture and disposal as well.
Georgia - Finally, you mentioned that there was a launch planned recently and it didn't happen. How much of these companies is a bit of grandstanding, how much of it do you think we'll actually see?
Peter - I'm confident it'll happen. I'm confident they're far enough through with this. Remember I'm involved in startups, I have been for a very long time and people promise things and they fail but, in the end, most of them will get there if they've got enough money to do so. SpaceX has been around for quite a long time. Last year it was supposed to have launched 14 or 15 satellites into space in 2017, so therefore it can do it and it can achieve it. But this is a big, big rocket and there's an awful lot of design work necessary. I'm confident it will happen. It's already a few years late, whether it will be another few years, who knows.

The final product is a dog biscuit that's crunchy, but not too crunchy.
Over the past few months, I've been creating new homemade dog treat recipes every week. At first, I continued to focus on crunchy treats. That all changed when I started receiving emails and private messages with requests for soft baked treats.
Most of the biscuit recipes I shared, prior to that point, could easily be converted into a soft baked treat in 2 easy steps. Roll the biscuits a little thicker and, once the biscuits are baked and cooled, immediately put them in an airtight container. The biscuits will stay soft.
That was a quick and easy solution.
Like with most things in life, a quick and easy solution is usually a temporary fix. For example, lets say you get a bad storm one evening accompanied with high winds. A branch crashes through your living room window. A quick and easy solution, to guard the inside of your home from the outside, is to put plastic up and seal with Duct Tape.
The plastic and Duct Tape is a temporary solution. It works. It solves the problem until you're able to get a new window put in.
The 2 easy steps for converting our crunchy treats into soft treats was a temporary fix. What I needed to do was create recipes that were specifically soft baked dog treats.
In other words, once baked and cooled, there was no urgency to immediately put them in an airtight container. If you left soft baked dog treats out on the counter overnight, they'd still be soft baked in the morning.
That was the inspiration behind last week's homemade dog treat recipe.
Prior to creating a soft baked version of our Bodacious Biscuit Love Peanut Butter Dog Treats, I had to take a good look at what soft baked actually meant.
As a 30+ year baking veteran, when I think of soft baked, the first thing that comes to mind is a soft baked sugar cookie.
Although there's an endless selection of store bought dog treats available, there's not too many soft baked options.
Soft baked does not translate to chewy.
Between the requests I've received over the past few months, and the sweet pup who inspired me last week, I realize there's a need for soft baked treats. The reasons vary from digestive and oral issues all the way to preference.
All of the above was my inspiration for this week's new, homemade dog treat recipe. And, it will continue to inspire me in the weeks ahead.
For this recipe, I didn't need to add any water. However, once you mix all of the ingredients, if the dough is too dry, add a little warm water.
Flour the counter and the mound o' dough and roll the dough a little thicker than 1/4 of an inch. Use your cookie cutter of choice. You can roll and cut this dough as many times as needed.
Bake these gems on a non-stick cookie sheet at 350 for 20 minutes. The time will vary depending on your oven. The final product should be golden brown on the bottom and spongy to the touch.
These homemade dog treats smelled incredible while baking in the oven. They puffed up nicely and had the perfect soft baked consistency I was aiming for.
Coco, Sophie, and Lobo inhaled these treats during snack time.
Unfortunately, due to food allergies, Willa was not able to try these treats.
They all gave a paws up.


Beautiful pendants, the design is almost Pagan.
Looks brilliant! The dark ponga log really makes it stand out.
Aren't they gorgeous and so tactile, beautifully and artistically captured on this textured wood !
Just beautiful. He does exquisite work.
Such beautiful work. The log is the perfect background.

"Wonder Woman" is a return to greatness for DC Comics films - The Spread
Home / Movie Reviews / "Wonder Woman" is a return to greatness for DC Comics films
Neill McNamara calls Wonder Woman not only a barnstorming adventure but also the best DC film since The Dark Knight.
DC have had a bit of a hard time of it when it comes to films. The Dark Knight trilogy received universal acclaim, and rightly so, but since then it's films such as Batman V Superman and Suicide Squad have fallen behind their rivals, Marvel, who seem to dominate the superhero movie scene. Therefore, I stepped into Wonder Woman with a certain amount of uncertainty. I'm pleased to say I was left pleasantly surprised.
Wonder Woman serves as an origin story for the character; Diana, a warrior princess of the Amazon and a descendant of the Greek gods, is unaware of the goings on of the outside world from the remote island she calls home. One day, an American soldier crash-lands a plane on said Island, and she learns that the world is in the middle of the war to end all wars: World War I. Therefore, she takes up her sword and shield and goes out to bring an end to the fighting.
One thing I was most definitely looking forward to going into this film was the time setting. Personally, I take a great interest in the events of the Great War, and I feel that it has fallen out of the memory of a large amount of the younger generations today, so I was both excited and concerned about how they would showcase it. I was worried that a lot of the facts would be portrayed incorrectly, and after seeing a poster of Wonder Woman holding aloft a tank that I knew to be a Russian tank that was built during the Second World War I didn't hold much hope. Thankfully, my concerns were avoided. The main villain of the film is German General Erich Ludendorff, who was indeed the commander of German forces during the war. No signs of incorrect equipment were shown, and when Wonder Woman inevitably mirrored the poster and lifted a tank it was not the Russian WWII tank but instead a British Mark V, a member of the first family of tanks invented during WWI. Trench warfare, the Ottoman Empire and mustard gas were all touched on during this film and I have to give credit to the set designers for nailing the ambiance of life on the Western Front.
The storyline of the film left a lot to be desired, but I found that I didn't really care all too much. This is the kind of action film that, if you can get past the somewhat slow opening setup at the beginning, you can just turn your brain off and enjoy watching Wonder Woman kick her way through some bad guys. The film was most definitely at its best in the action moments, and Gal Gadot absolutely nailed the role. In every single scene, she oozes power and determination. Her performance goes above and beyond anything the male actors did in this film, and I am genuinely excited to see more of her in future films. This is not to say the other actors didn't do well, with the likes of Chris Pine and Ewen Bremner giving well-rounded performances. I found that Danny Huston's portrayal of General Ludendorff a bit jarring, as he further cemented the idea of Germans being moustache-twirling evil masterminds when it is well known that the First World War was not a war of 'good versus evil', but a war fought for outdated ideas of empire and national pride. This was only a minor point but I found that it got to me more than I thought it would.
Other than that, I found there was very little to criticise here. The score, action, acting and ambiance were all excellent on their own, and they blended together to create a very enjoyable experience. The story left a lot to be desired and the villains were a little stereotypical for my liking, but other than that I have to give DC the respect they deserve. In a world where the superhero film is losing a lot of its popularity, it seems that a female-led historical piece has what it takes to stand out among the crowd and I cannot wait to see how they take this success and run with it.
Wonder Woman is out now in cinemas.

The Raspberry Pi Foundation hopes that the inclusion of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth in the third generation of its eponymous single board computer will allow it to become a "hub" for the Internet of Things (IoT).
Speaking at an event in London on the fourth anniversary of the launch of the original Raspberry Pi, Foundation CEO Eben Upton said the increased power and connectivity would improve the appeal of the device for industrial and smart home applications.
"We've been able to increase the amount of processing power and integrate connectivity," he said, noting that the Raspberry Pi 3 had a 1.2GHz 64-bit quad core ARM Corex-A53 CPU manufactured by Broadcom – an increase from the 900GHz chip included in the Raspberry Pi 2.
"That's roughly a tenfold increase from Raspberry Pi 1," Upton noted.
The computer features integrated 802.11ac Wi-Fi for the first time as well as support for Bluetooth 4.1 – meaning it can support the low power functions of the short range standard. In addition, the Raspberry Pi 3 will work with the Windows 10 IoT core.
The Raspberry Pi 3 has the same form factor as its precicessors, with which it is fully compatible, and costs the same price – $35 (£25).
When asked by TechWeekEurope why integrated connectivity had not been included in previous models, Upton said it was a "cost and capability issue" as including radio functionality is more complicated.
Despite being initially envisioned as an educational tool when launched in 2012, the Raspberry Pi has found fans in the business world. Upton reiterated that the primary function of the computer was to encourage children to take up computer science but added he also expected integrated connectivity to increase the device's popularity in industry.
It is thought that half of the eight million Raspberry Pi units sold to date have been bought by hobbyists, with the remainder split between industry and education.
Manufacturing partner Element14, which has made five million of the eight million Raspberry Pi units sold to date, says it expects the industrial share to accelerate with the release of the third generation and will support the launch with its customisation programme and new accessories.
Many of the consultations it undertakes with prospective customers relate to the Internet of Things (IoT), and combined with its IBM IoT starter kit and PiFace – which physically connects to things like fans and lights and can monitor sensors – mean it senses a huge opportunity.
The Raspberry Pi 3 is technically a 'Model B' version of the computer, but the Foundation will release a new entry level 'Model A' at some point during 2016.
The Raspberry Pi Model A+ will continue to be the cheapest available device at $20 (£14) until that point, but the Foundation says it will continue to sell all generations of the computer while there is still demand as many industrial customers have adopted earlier versions.

In ancient times people did not have porcelain and high-quality clay, so put the food the hosts had to be on pieces of bark and homemade dishes from the remnants of vegetables and fruits. Design Studio Mathery from Melbourne repeated the feats of primitive people and created dishes out of half a pineapple, banana peel, melon crust, and so on.
The idea of creating this sort of collection attempt lowering the level of environmental pollution. People everywhere throw leftovers in the garbage disposal, while they may serve as raw material for the production of pottery.
Take, for example, avocado, which the designers managed to build a beautiful vase. Or wonderful bowl of peels of banana, glued to the base and painted in an intense yellow color.
Every item of the collection of original and distinctive, unlike detergent, which is produced in mass production. Products Mathery made entirely by hand.
Not less interesting is the collection of biodegradable disposable tableware in the form of fruits and vegetables from Chinese designer Qiyun Deng.

Jordan "Jet" Temkin Crowned The 2017 DRL Allianz World Champion
For the second year in a row, DRL elite pilot Jordan "Jet" Temkin is named Best Drone Pilot in the World
The Drone Racing League (DRL), the global leader in professional drone racing, announced Jordan "Jet" Temkin, as the 2017 DRL Allianz World Champion. Fighting for the title of "World's Greatest Drone Pilot" all season long, Jet sped through the custom Grand Tour Finish Gate during DRL's fierce final race in the iconic Alexandra Palace in London. After racing against DRL's eight top pilots during a round robin format, and battling it through the seven most important heats of his life, Jet was crowned the DRL World Champion for the second year in a row. In 2016, the 25-year-old drone pilot from Fort Collins, Colorado placed first in DRL's inaugural season.
"We're so proud of Jet, a two-time DRL winner, who consistently navigated hair-pin, razor sharp turns with precision and speed," said DRL CEO/Founder, Nicholas Horbaczewski. "He has proven himself to be the best drone pilot on the planet, and we can't wait for him to return for the 2018 Season."
The championship race put Jet's drone racing skills to the test, where he raced the hand-built DRL Racer3 drone at speeds of more than 80 MPH, zooming through the first ever FPV Power Loop, a series of light gates covering 180 degrees, which forces the drones into an inverted dive at full speed.
"Being named the 2017 DRL Allianz World Champion feels surreal, and winning for a second season proves that practice pays off," said Jet. "Winning DRL allows me to continue doing what I love: drone racing all day, every day."
The action-packed 2017 Allianz Circuit Season Finale premiered Friday night at 9pm EST on ESPN, and will air internationally on Sky, Prosieben, OSN and Disney XD in 75 countries across the world.
The Drone Racing League launched in January 2016 as the only global professional drone racing organization, hosting five professional races in its inaugural season. DRL's '16 season reached more than 75 million fans around the world, including more than 33 million broadcast viewers and more than 45 million views of its digital content. Partners include title sponsor Allianz, Toy State, Amazon (Prime Video), Swatch, FORTO Coffee Shots and the U.S. Air Force.
ABOUT DRL
DRL is the premier drone racing circuit for elite FPV pilots around the world. A technology, sports and media company, DRL combines world-class media and proprietary technology to create thrilling drone racing content with mass appeal.

Oral and Maxillofacial Specialist has Deep Delaware Roots
Pam George May 17, 2014
Peter F. Subach
Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery | Wilmington
Unlike many children, Peter Subach was never afraid of going to the
dentist. "I loved my family dentist," he says. So much so, in fact, that in fourth grade, he decided that he wanted to become one.
Subach, who graduated from Newark High School and Temple University School of Dentistry, initially thought about specializing in orthodontics. Instead, he decided to pursue a career in oral and maxillofacial surgery, a practice involving diseases, injuries and defects in the head, neck, face, jaws and mouth. The field requires intensive training in surgery and anesthesia and covers everything from dental implant surgery to bone grafting to corrective jaw surgery.
Subach, who did his four-year residency at Christiana Care Health System, says many patients requiring reconstruction have been in car accidents. Other causes include diseases or tumors.
A member of Christiana Care Health System's staff, Subach is on call when a patient comes in with oral or maxillofacial injuries. "Christiana is a Level I trauma center," he says. "We're very busy." Depending on the injuries, he may work with a plastic surgeon.
He also teaches residents about oral and maxillofacial surgery, particularly dental implants and wisdom tooth extraction. While the methods used to extract wisdom teeth haven't changed much, intravenous sedation has turned a one-time hospital procedure into an outpatient procedure. "Many of them find it very relaxing," Subach says of the sedation. "They fall asleep."
His patients' ages cover a wide spectrum. Some are as young as 6. "They might have cavities and they're in pain and experiencing swelling," he says. Although the affected tooth is a baby tooth, it still might need extraction.
While Subach had a positive experience at the dentist office as a child, he understands that many people who go to his Wilmington office are nervous. "We work hard to make them comfortable," he says. "We believe our concern for our patients sets us apart."

There are more than 600 species of oak. We use just one.
To ensure exceptional performance, Domus has selected one single species – European Oak (Quercus robur) – renowned for its inherent strength and quality. Sourced from responsibly managed forests in Europe, this fine oak grows slowly, creating an extremely dense, tall and straight timber; robust, consistent and reliable. And naturally, it's FSC® 100%.
In the heart of the forest, these majestic specimens are felled with care, then expertly transformed. Utilising generations of skill and experience, the trunks are stripped, sawn and trimmed to provide optimal yield for our selected formats. Under watchful quality control procedures, the oak is then expertly kiln dried before being married to the multi-layered birch or fir body that supports and underpins the Domus Wood Collection.
Our state of the art production in Ravenna employs the latest technologies, combined with decades of artisanal and industrial expertise, to create the carefully designed Domus Wood Collection.
Every stage of the journey from forest to finished product is developed with integrity and managed with care. Specialist surface treatments, colouring and finishes are brought together to lend each product its unique character and superior performance.
Here, the beauty of wood is realised.
Engineered timber is a compelling choice for interior flooring – designed, manufactured and finished with the highest standards of quality and performance in mind.
The selection of the oak grade and combination of colour, finish and format have all been carefully specified and individually detailed.
For both our plank and parquet collections, the surface layer of hand-selected European Oak is applied to an engineered base layer of either birch or fir, acquired with equal environmental responsibility.
FSC® chain of custody (FSC® - C124301) procedures are rigorously adhered to, assuring clients that the products specified are responsibly sourced.
The Forest Stewardship Council® is an international organisation dedicated to promoting responsible management of the world's forests.
Founded in 1993 in response to public concern towards deforestation, the FSC® is the only wood certification scheme endorsed by the major environmental charities. Every link between the forest and the finished product is certified, guaranteeing clear and unequivocal sourcing information and chain of custody.
Domus Wood has been featured in a wide range of projects, from small residential properties to flagship stores. Each range is uniquely crafted using specialist pigments and colouring treatments, making it incredibly versatile and suitable for various schemes.
The world-famous book store, Foyles, now resides in one of the UK's most dynamic and spacious interiors that includes a cafe, auditorium and gallery that hosts year-round literary and music events.
Architect Matthew Wood, founder of MW Architects, has added a small, beautifully designed 7sqm ground floor extension to the Peckham home where he lives with his family. The design vastly improves the downstairs layout, adding a new kitchen-diner 'family room' to the back of the house which leads off the galley kitchen and opens up into the garden.
Battersea Power Station, is at the heart of a massive new development that includes 3,500 homes, offices, shops, restaurants, a theatre and a six-acre park.
Phase 1 of the Battersea Power Station development, designed by dRMM and Ian Simpson Architects, involves the construction of over 850 apartments integrating retail, leisure and hospitality areas.
Each of our London showrooms is well equipped to showcase the full Domus Wood Collection, provide samples and advise on a full complement of surface finishes.

The Very Best and The Very Worst – London Bridge Terror attack
By Mansoor Ahmad Clarke
'Friday afternoon demonstrated both the very best of humanity and the very worst,' wrote the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, in his recent article for the Guardian,(30/11/19) referring to the horrific attack that took place on London Bridge, on 29/11/19, that laid claim to two innocent lives.
I was standing in the bitter cold, directing cars along with a group of volunteers, when I first heard news of the attack. I, along with a group of friends and colleagues, was at the Cheque Presentation Ceremony of the Mercy for Mankind Charity Challenge, run by the Ahmadiyya Muslim Youth Association (AMYA).
Holding my phone in my gloved hands, I thought to myself, 'Not again. I hope no one died. I hope he's not Muslim'. But just moments later, the notification on my phone confirmed my fears – a 28-year-old man, Muslim by name, had just murdered two innocent people in cold blood.
The tube ride along the Northern Line was eerie on Saturday morning. Myself and two other young imams made our way to London Bridge to offer our sympathies and condolences. As we travelled, the increased number of police officers was noticeable and of course the sideways glances from other commuters at our topis (Muslim prayer hats) could not be ignored.
I propped the bouquet of fresh, red roses up against the cold concrete wall in honour of Jack and Saskia and led a short silent prayer. As I did, I could hear the cameras clicking away and sensed the reporters readying their mics to hear what 'the Muslims' had to say.
I stood, answering their questions, but while I was thankful for the opportunity to express my heartfelt condolences as well as to deconstruct some negative stereotypes about Islam, I heard one particular question which took me right back to the car park, from the night before.
'As an Imam what do you think the Muslim community should do to better its image?' I must admit, upon hearing this I was quite taken aback. I understood what the interviewer meant, but the somewhat careless connection between one individual's actions to the image and character of almost 2 billion people was one that I had heard all too many times before.
I was hurt, because it seemed almost as if I had come not just to express my condolences and condemnation as anyone else would, but that there was also an expectation for me to apologise and to promise to try harder instead – as if I was somehow responsible.
In reality, this attack was absolutely contradictory to the peaceful and loving teachings of Islam, which declare the killing of one innocent akin to the killing of the whole of mankind. The founder of Islam, The Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessing of God be upon him) also instructed that 'A Muslim is he from whose hand and mouth all others are safe' (Bukhari). With these clear-cut teachings in mind, how could anyone ever deem such a crime and attack as being in the name of Islam, or hold the religion of Islam responsible?
It was at the point of being asked the question, that I had an immediate and ardent desire for the world to know about AMYA, or 'Britain's best kept secret' as one person once called it and about what had happened just a few hours earlier at the headquarters of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community.
As the Mayor of London said, we saw 'the best and the worst' on Friday night, but where he was referring specifically to the goings on at London Bridge, Friday night also saw the tireless efforts and endeavours of young Ahmadi Muslims across Britain.
Members of AMYA raised almost a million pounds for British charities, not because of big budgets or millionaire endorsements, but through continuous dedication and arduous efforts of loyalty and diligence.
As guests sat and heard about how AMYA had planted trees, donated to blood drives, cleaned the streets, fed the homeless, visited the elderly, clothed the needy, all free of charge, one guest remarked 'it is just such a shame that none of this will ever make the news'.
She was of course quite right in what she said. The story of these young heroes, each and every one of them, an example of humanity at its best, did not make the headline. It did not make the news and, unless you were there, you have probably never even heard about them.
I would like to think that had the people of Britain heard about the work of AMYA they too would have said 'Friday afternoon demonstrated the very best of humanity'.
We left London Bridge, having spent several hours expressing our condolences, guiding people to the nearest flower stalls, speaking to the media as well as the brave officers on duty. We even struck up a conversation with a big burly man named Tony, who turned out to be a gentle giant, similarly devastated by the news of what had happened. We hugged as he told the cameras, 'these are my friends, don't blame them, don't blame the community, it was one man, blame him'.
It is at times like this, that we must as a society, come together, unified more than ever before. We must learn about, acknowledge and celebrate the work carried out by organisations like AMYA, so that we can learn to recognise one another by the positivity and good we each show in society.
If, however we fail to do this, individuals amongst us will continue to fall prey to the never ending onslaught of negative stereotyping, prejudice and bigotry.
Let us begin the conversations that will rid us of our animosity. Let us stitch love, compassion and acceptance into the fabric of our wonderful and diverse society, before we find it aged and frayed with the strain and wear of our own man-made intolerance and hate.
May we all live and prove to be ambassadors of the very best of humanity, and learn to fulfil both the rights of man and of God.

How to build a business that makes money early on, according to the partner of a $400 million investment fund
Zoë Bernard
Scale Venture Partners
This week, Silicon Valley venture firm Scale Venture Partners closed its sixth fund at $400 million.
The firm is focused on what Scale VP partner Ariel Tseitlin describes as 'early in revenue investing,' and focuses on helping companies grow their revenue early on.
Tseitlin said that to effectively bring in revenue, companies should focus on sales and customer conversion rates.
The investment focus at Silicon Valley venture firm Scale VP is what one partner at the firm, Ariel Tseitlin, describes as "mixed stage" investing.
"I cringe when people call the type of investing we do 'late stage investing,'" he said. "We call it 'mid-stage,' or 'early in revenue.'"
A company that's early on in the process of generating revenue doesn't necessarily imply that it's a late stage company, either. Tseitlin says it's ideal that a startup begins making money early on, and this can happen as soon as the first few rounds of investing, as early as a series A.
On its sixth raise, Scale VP has closed a $400 million fund to focus on enterprise tech and turn a number of 'early in revenue' companies into profitable ventures.
Tseitlin says that Scale VP's form of investing puts his firm at a unique advantage: "Because we invest in enterprise software, and, most typically, A, B, and C phase companies, we see what successful companies do right," he said.
Much of SVP's funding model relies on data captured from earlier investments and tried and true benchmarks, said Tseitlin. When it comes to making money, Tseitlin said that it's important to scrutinize the efficiency of each and every function of the business. To successfully turn a profit, there's one particular area of focus to laser in on: Sales.
"There are so many areas to inspect in a new business," said Tseitlin. "How efficient is your ability to generate a new lead? What are your conversion rates?"
Tseitlin offered up the example of Scale VP portfolio company DocuSign, which went public earlier this year, as a company that was laser-focused on operating efficiently from its very beginnings.
"They were focused on growing their business the right way, very early on," said Tseitlin. "They were phenomenal at it."
Tseitlin says the key to DocuSign's success lies in the company's ability to effectively manage the money invested in it, and the components to this are simple: "It's all about sales efficiency," said Tseitlin. "For every dollar you spend, how many dollars does that bring in in new revenue?"
To bring in revenue, Tseitlin suggests that a business should focus on its customer acquisition costs, and the ability to maintain those same customers at every stage of the company. "This is a very important metric of a company's health," said Tseitlin.

Atahualpa Biography, Life, Interesting Facts
Birthday :
Died On :
Also Known For :
Birth Place :
Ibarra, Imbabura, Ecuador
Zodiac Sign :
The last Incan (now Peru) ruler Atahualpa remains to be the central figure in the history of South America. It wasn't a doubt he took his post seriously. From other biographer's perspective, Atahualpa opened several sources of debates. At some point, even ancient philosophers were unsure of his real trait. He once authorized a civil war between him and his blood brother where he won by murdering him only to take over as the next heir. His past practices labeled him a bloodthirsty ruler. To the invaders, friends and his family, he was friendly and composed to the bone. What's interesting is that Atahualpa carried several personality traits. Allow us to explain who Atabalipa (his other name) was in a jiffy.
If we haven't yet mentioned above, then here is his synopsis. His fame called when he killed his brother to take over the throne. His brother was the thirteenth in line to become Inca (now Peru), King. Not only that but he also won the civil war but later captured and detained for ransom. His dream of becoming the next heir was cut short after his execution by a Spanish soldier, Francisco Pizarro.
And now comes the best part, personality. Since its inception, the emperor grew up as an emotional being. There was a considerable difference between what he showed and who he was. It's interesting also to note that his bravery carried most of his days. He played a huge role in his family and the Spanish. However, Atahualpa was independent and goal oriented. Why? He always got what he wanted except when he offered silver to the intruders, but they ended up killing him.
His leadership skill drips down to his in-time schedule. From the word go, he pursued what he loved best. In spite of his outstanding personalities, the ruler opens the doors for Spanish Colonization in South America. This happened after his arrest.
Guess what might have happened if he wasn't captured and seized? He would have spent his energy wisely. He would have made vital decisions based on his ideas and more so passion. We wonder if he could have gone further as a King. His logic might have suggested otherwise. Up to this, we will never know what type of King he would have been. Wonders of the world, I guess.
It is presumably claimed that Atahualpa saw his first in 1502 in Peru. He was the younger child to Huayna Capac, Incan King. The Incans spent their livelihood in the mountains. Atahualpa's mother served as a princess. Well, the Incan society only accepted to marry each other whether related on not. Incan mistresses had an opportunity to rule. For this reason, half-sibling wars became rampant and at some point a usual course.
Atahualpa had an elder brother called Huascar and other siblings. Even though he wasn't next in line, his father fell in love with his trait. In that case, the young lad had to do the unthinkable to soar to greater heights. Glad his self-esteem was up to the par.
Empire Division
Atabalipa's older brother, Huayna succumbed to smallpox. As a result, it paved the way to the rule indifference between the Huascar and Atahualpa. Soon, civil war started between two blood brothers. Atahualpa had his share thus the Northern region while his brother the Southern part.
After some time, the great leader seized his brother, and that is what led to his ruling in the Incan land. He succeeded his brother with over 50,000 troops. At that time, there was nothing else than war and defeat that spoke the loudest. However, the civil war brought severe repercussion including division and mistrust. After some time the Spanish maneuvered and benefited from the same venture.
Caught By Invaders
After the end of the war, Atahualpa received news that invaders wanted to enter his land. After a confirmation that they weren't a threat, he gave them a chance to explore his territory. Note that these were Spanish explorer with Francisco Pizarro being their leader. They settled for a while in his camp since they were over two hundred of them. Little did he know that death was a stone's throw away. Within seconds a day arrived where thousands of his men were killed since they were all unarmed. It is now famously called as the Cajamarca war. His certainty once again got him into trouble.
For this reason, Atahualpa was captured and imprisoned. He offered a room full of silver and gold for his release, but his recommendation fell in the deaf ear. That is how Francisco claimed the Incan land as part of Spain after killing Atahualpa in July 1533 in Cajamarca, Peru.

Central Florida calls on blood donors to help tackle nationwide blood crisis
FWC: Group posted videos of black bears being attacked to advertise hunting dogs
9 charged with baiting, abusing black bears
TAMPA, Fla. – Florida officials announced the arrests of nine people Wednesday following a yearlong investigation into illegal baiting, taking and molestation of black bears.
Attorney General Pam Bondi said Wednesday during a news conference held at Lowry Park Zoo in Tampa that the suspects lured the bears using pastries, drums of dog food, bags of doughnuts and dozens of gallons of peanut butter before having packs of hunting dogs attack them.
[WATCH: Bear safety tips from FWC]
The suspects also recorded the attacks and posted them on social media to advertise their training of the hunting dogs, Bondi said.
At least two bears have been confirmed dead as a result of the suspects' actions, but Bondi said some of the videos, which showed bears being chased up trees and either knocked off by someone who climbed the tree or the bears falling from branches, led her to believe more have died than they know of right now.
She said some of the bears being tortured were less than 1 week old.
According to Bondi, the suspects were using the videos to "drum up business" for hunting dogs, since they were training them.
"It was for profit, but I believe it was for their own sick pleasure," Bondi said.
She said the videos made her sick to her stomach and called it torture.
Bondi also said it was clear in the videos that some of the dogs didn't want to attack the bears, but the suspects were taking their leashes off and laughing about it. She called the incidents animal cruelty for both the bears and dogs.
According to Bondi, the investigation began after social media users questioned the legality of the videos being posted online.
Florida Fish and Wildlife officials then set up surveillance at a Krispy Kreme and saw some of the suspects going to the business after hours and taking hundreds of bags of doughnuts from the dumpsters to use as bait, Bondi said during the conference.
The investigation began 11 months ago and led authorities to the conclusion that the incidents involving the mistreatment of the bears had taken place in Baker, Flagler, Marion and Union counties, Bondi said.
The videos were being used online to advertise across the country, state officials said.
Bondi said she believes this is the first case of its magnitude, with nine people, including 42-year-old Christopher Haun, of Ormond Beach, facing multiple charges. Haun is charged with conspiracy to commit racketeering, animal fighting or baiting, littering and unlawful taking of a black bear, FWC officials said.
In addition to the charges listed above, some of the suspects are also facing charges of animal cruelty and the unlawful use of a two-way communication device, according to the FWC.
If convicted, they could face up to 30 years behind bars for just the racketeering charge, the attorney general said.
The state has seized 53 dogs as property so far, but Bondi said she believes there are a lot more dogs involved, including some out of state.
Bondi said some of the dogs' owners sent them to Florida to be trained for hunting purposes, and it's unclear if they knew the dogs were involved in the attacks. State officials said the Humane Society is working to reunite those dogs with their owners.
It is illegal to hunt bears in Florida, according to Bondi.
The FWC and Bondi said the suspects' actions do not represent the respect ethical hunters and others have for conservation, the outdoors and Florida's natural resources.
"We're here at Lowry Park Zoo, where they are saving these animals lives so kids can grow up in Florida and know what a Florida black bear is, and then they're trying to wipe out our population of them in a sick and inhumane way, and it will not be tolerated in our state nor in our country," Bondi said.
