THE SEVENTH year of charting the most frequently used words in the newscast in Slovakia saw some of the favourites drop, some stay well-placed against last year, and some new ones appear at the top.
Ukraine was replaced by the word "refugee" on the first place of the chart compiled annually by the Newton media company. This word was registered 11,769 times in relevant news media in 2015.
"If we add some related or key words to the term refugee – like migrant, refugee crisis, quotas, Schengen – then we get more than 20,000 uses," Martin Gonda, analyst of Newton Media, told the SITA newswire. He added that in this combined way, the "refugee" issue would even beat the record of Ukraine (from 2014) with 16,000 entries.
Second place went to Prime Minister Robert Fico (with 9,210 entries which is an increase in 1,650 year-by-year). Fico has been on one of top positions for a long time, SITA wrote, partially ascribing it to his position and the fact that even when something happens without his direct involvement, he is expected to comment on it.
Syria featured in third place, an increase from its previous 12th place. Number four was Ukraine, which was Word of the Year 2015, an increase from 10th place in 2014.
The word migrant could be found in more than 7,700 news items and placed fifth; Greece rose from 19th to sixth, as the referendum, general election and influx of refugees often placed it in the news. Health care declined from fifth to seventh although it grew in absolute number of entries by more than 1,600.
The world rodina /family marked a huge rise in publicity (3,660 more) as a political and social issue, rising from place 10 to place 8. The Islamic State jumped from number 17 to number nine last year (increase of 2,788 entries). Place ten went to education system, with more than 5,000 news items.
Some words that were among ten most frequented in 2014 fell 10 places last year: sankcie / sanctions (from 3 to 13) and presidents Vladimir Putin and Andrej Kiska who thus join US President Barack Obama and German Chancellor Angela Merkel (who is in Top 20 for the first time).
Words like korupcia (corruption) and nezamestnanosť (unemployment) are not in the 11-20 group anymore; however, the words corruption grew in 500 entries overall, while unemployment fell in 200 uses.
Places 21 to 30 were: šetrenie (saving), utečenecká kríza (refugee crisis), kvóty (quotas), Iran, Róm (Roma), transparentnosť (transparency), Váhostav (company name), Krym (Crimea), Volkswagen, Pápež František (Pope Francis).
Other words frequently found in the newscast were CT, Charlie Hebdo, NKÚ (Supreme Audit Office), Igor Matovič (chair of OĽaNO party), Richard Sulík (chair of SaS party), Ján Figeľ (chair of KDH), sociálny balíček (social package), Gorilla (file uncovering corruption, allegedly a transcript of intelligence service's wiretapping), Ľudovít Štúr (late Slovak linguist and activist), Béla Bugár (chair of Most-Hid party), Radoslav Procházka (chair of Sieť party), Aliancia za rodinu (Alliance for Family activist association), RegioJet (private railway company), Boris Nemtsov, Jaguar Land Rover and others whose frequency was around 1,000, and ended after place 30.
Winners from previous years were Ukrajina (Ukraine, 2014); nezamestnanosť (unemployment, 2013); Robert Fico (2012, 2010, 2009); Iveta Radičová (former PM, 2011).
The Newton Media company elaborated on this chart with quantitative analysis on a sample of relevant news media it monitors: it tipped key words (names of scandals, politicians, other events) that resonated most in 2015 in media. Sport and tabloid events are excluded. One entry meant one occurrence of the key word in a story; repeated occurrence in one story was perceived as one entry.

Threats to Indigenous Land Rights: Interview with Dayamani Barla
Dayamani Barla, Indigenous tribal journalist and activist from Jharkland, India, discusses how Indigenous Peoples have been displaced from their traditional farming lands in the name of dams, mining and other development projects.
Produced by Dev Kumar Sunuwar and Jagat Dong from Nepal, for Cultural Survival after attending the Indigenous Terra Madre conference held in November, 2015 in Meghalaya, North East India.
Indigenous Terra Madre Conference
Terra Madre means "Mother Earth" in Latin. The theme of the Indigenous Terra Madre conference was to celebrate the bio and cultural diversity that is the asset of Indigenous communities. The aim of this gathering is to share ideas, to come together, and be inspired or be warned, and to make people aware that our local food systems. It also seeks to build awareness that "the way we cooked in the past, and the wild plants around us are more important for our health than all the medicines we take.
The Slow Food Movement
The Slow Food movement was founded in Italy in 1986 to promote an alternative to fast food.
Analee Johnson, Sami, of Sweden, says that the Slow Food movement believes that the food we produce should be good, clean, and fair. She gives an example of marketing Sami traditional food of Reindeer meat.
Bibhudutta Sahu, of the North East Slow Food & Agrobiodiversity Society explains that local food is always the best, because mother nature has been kind enough to provide us what we need.
Indigenous Food Sovereignty
Participants discuss what food sovereignty means for Indigenous Peoples. Speakers include Native American activist, and author Dr. Winona Laduke, and Dr. Grazia Borrini-Feyerabend, Global Coordinator of the ICCA Consortium, and David Strelneck, Senior Advisor at Ashoka Foundation.
Indigenous Pathways For Wellbeing
Researcher Elizabeth Hacker describes research about how Indigenous individuals create their own frameworks to define "well-being" to counter Western ideas of well-being. She found three important concepts for Indigenous well being are, Meeting basic material needs; social harmony and sense of belonging; and cultural identity. Dev and Elizabeth discuss examples from her research in India and Kenya.


So if you're interested in a potential career in video games, put down the controller and start researching. The first step is to figure out which degree path is right for you. Students have several routes available to them. Previously, one could earn either a generalized computer science degree, get a specialized degree from a dedicated gaming institute or concentrate on game design at an art school. Another option was to get a traditional computer science degree, and then enroll in a master's program that focuses specifically on game development. Basically, figuring out how to get a degree in gaming was as confusing and difficult as beating Scribblenauts on the hardest setting. More recently, however, interdisciplinary majors and minors dedicated to game design and development have been cropping up at traditional colleges and universities around the United States.
New York University (NYU) started its Game Center just last year, where students can take classes from multiple departments such as computer science and new media. The University of California at Santa Cruz also offers a new gaming interdisciplinary major that's heavy on the technology side (they like to call it "Computer Science ++"). Though students take foundational classes in artificial intelligence and applied discrete mathematics, they also get to choose from a wide variety of electives, including stand-up comedy, Muppet magic, social media, and digital art. Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute is also among the early adopters. The university began granting a Bachelors of Science degree in Games & Simulation Arts and Science in 2007, which emphasizes a holistic approach. Though students are encouraged to be well rounded, the degree allows students to concentrate in areas such as Human-Computer Interaction, the Arts, Management and Entrepreneurship, Computer Science or Cognitive Science. For those interested in attending an art college, the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) offers an Interactive Design and Game Development major. Students have access to a full motion capture lab, and an award-winning faculty. Recently companies such as Blizzard (of World of Warcraft fame) and Activision made appearances at SCAD—to give presentations and recruit graduates.
If you're not totally sure that majoring in gaming is for you, traditional colleges have also begun offering minors and extracurricular options for game design and theory. For example, in addition to the new major, students at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have been able to minor in game design studies since 2004. To do so, they take interdisciplinary classes such as Interactive Narrative, Game AI (Artificial Intelligence) or Experimental Game Design. Students at the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) can get involved with the Experimental Game Lab, which offers students the opportunity to work on unique gaming projects, team up with graduate students, and attend lectures by prominent speakers. At Wake Forest University, students can take a seminar in Video Games: Research and Theory. Recently some of the students in that class created a blog, VGameU.org that helped buyers evaluate new titles in time for the holiday season.
As a high school student, playing video games isn't the only college prep you should be doing. Alongside, ahem, getting to know the medium, look into taking any computer or 3D art courses your school offers. You can also start teaching yourself the basics of higher-level programming languages like C or Java. And like it or not, game development also requires a good amount of math, so stick with upper-level classes and take AP Calculus AB and/or BC if your school offers these courses. Lastly, check into internships or game-testing positions, particularly if you live in an area where a lot of game development takes place. Quality assurance positions offer a chance to show your loyalty to a company, which might come in handy after you graduate. Not to mention, you could get paid for analyzing new releases before they hit the market.
Your parents may not be totally convinced that you can have a legitimate career in gaming, so you may want to include career and industry information in your research. You can let them know that it is currently one of the fastest growing industries out there. Industry revenue has more than doubled since 2005, and one of Japan's richest men happens to be the former chair of Nintendo. So, if you'd enjoy being part of the team behind the games, consider the option of a major in gaming.


The beginnings of this project were for a client who ultimately decided to develop an alternate design scheme and pursue a different path. With a strong desire to continue to develop this concept far beyond where it had been, we invested our energy and resources to bring the concept to a point that could be presented and potentially marketed to showcase as an example of the type of work our firm truly enjoys.
Sized efficiently to maximize function without maximizing size, this project is relatively compact with special attention given to connecting to the outdoors. A simple clean design utilizing natural materials and creating opportunities to experience the wintery environment while being embraced by the architecture, this home is a blend of western mountain homes, clean modern design and down home Vermont living.

Bicol border closed to non-essential travelers
The Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF) in Bicol has closed the region's border starting Tuesday, Apr. 6 to nonessential travelers coming from Metro Manila and other Covid-19 hot spots.
Lawyer Anthony Nuyda, Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) regional director and IATF Bicol chair, said a stricter border patrol measure is now being implemented in the Bicol-Quezon province boundaries to prevent the entry of vans and private vehicles carrying passengers who have non-essential travel purpose to the region.
Nuyda confirmed earlier reports that 12 "colorum" vehicles, or private vans boarded by paying passengers, carrying 79 persons were held in a patrol checkpoint at the Bicol-Quezon boundary in Del Gallego town in Camarines Sur during the Holy Week. At least nine of the passengers tested positive for Covid-19 while the rest either presented fake swab test results or questionable negative Covid-19 test results, he said.
The DILG official questioned why authorities in Metro Manila have allowed these vans to travel considering that the National Capital Region and the provinces of Bulacan, Rizal, Cavite and Laguna are under enhanced community quarantine (ECQ) until Apr. 11.
He expressed alarm that the unabated entry of local residents from Metro Manila, especially those who tested positive for Covid-19, would lead to a spike of cases in the Bicol region.
Nuyda said the six Bicol governors have met on Tuesday, Apr. 6 to firm up uniform guidelines on how to seal its borders to non-essential travelers.
He said the region's provincial officials hoped to halt the rising cases, which recorded a spike of infections over the Holy Week, from barely a hundred to 619 active cases as of Apr. 4.

Top 10 ATV Racers of All Time
by Seth Fargher (IC: employee)
Top 10 ATV Racers
Since the dawn of factory-backed race teams in the mid 1980s, the ATV racing industry has gone through some serious transitions, near catastrophes and fought plenty of uphill battles.
From the lull of the 1990s when everyone raced on machines from the previous decade, to the boom of the 2000s where factory race teams were coming out of the woodwork, to today where most OEMs are being very cautious with the entire Sport ATV segment, let alone racing.
In that time, hundreds of ATV racers have risen through the professional ranks but to those of us who've been following the industry for a couple decades, there are a handful of names that stick out. Not all of them are multi-time champions, but every one of them has had a significant impact on the sport in one way or another.
Gary Denton

I would have paid good money to be in attendance at the Rosebowl in 1985 when Gary Denton debuted the 1985 Quadracer LT 250R amidst a sea of production three wheelers. The first of its kind, truly race ready (for its time) ATV fueled the shift from three to four wheels and Denton would go on to be the winningest ATV motocross racer of all time with eight national titles, countless stadium wins and the 1994 Mickey Thompson Off-Road Series Championship.
Barry Hawk
Photo courtesy GNCC
The first time I heard the name Barry Hawk it was on a video recap of the 1993 Blackwater 100. Hawk had won the race that year and went on to win a total of seven GNCC ATV Championships. Hawk would later transition to two wheels and won the 2003 GNCC Motorcycle Championship. Hawk retired from professional racing in 2010 and joined the Racer Productions staff as a trail boss to help lay out the courses for the next generation of GNCC racers.
Doug Eichner
With an impressive 51 Championships throughout his professional career, Doug Eichner is possibly the winningest racer on our list. He has been heavily involved in ATV racing since turning pro in 1986 and has won races and championships all over the world. With seven wins at the renowned Pont de Vaux in France, as well as seven WORCS championships and countless other race wins, Eichner retired from ATV racing in 2010. This year we saw him return to racing action in a Polaris RZR in the Pro Production UTV class at the World Off-Road Championship Series.
Doug Gust

"Digger" Doug Gust earns mad props for not only a successful career, but for being one of the oldest guys to go out there and still hang with the kiddies. He was one of the brave souls to weather the dark storm of the 1990s and was among the first to secure a factory contract back in the 2000s when the OEM's were getting back into racing. At over 40 years of age, Gust continued to race for several more years as a factory-backed Suzuki racer and competed against riders half his age.
Bill Ballance
The GNCC series is unique in that while the field is stacked with talent, there are only a handful of racers who have won an actual championship. In fact, most of them win several until someone bumps them off the throne and begins a reign of their own. Bill Ballance managed to break Barry Hawk's streak of seven championships in 2000 and began his reign atop the Pro ATV class, racking up nine consecutive GNCC championships from 2000-2008. In that time he secured factory support, had his own Ballance edition products ranging from exhausts to tires and even a Ballance Edition Yamaha YFZ450R. Ballance continues his involvement in the sport, racing a handful of GNCC events, and running a motocross track and a race team. Although his reign came to an end in 2008, Ballance holds the record for most championships.
Josh Frederick
Josh "the animal" Frederick earned himself that nickname for his tough, come from behind, never give up mentality. A self proclaimed poor starter, Frederick often found himself in positions where he was forced to work his way through traffic if he had any hope for a win, which he did often. Frederick won three WORCS championships during his career, as well as the prestigious SCORE championship in 2005 and 2012. He had success all over the world, from Mexico to Canada and even France. Frederick began transitioning to side-by-side racing in 2012, but never gave up on his love for ATV racing. Unfortunately, Frederick was involved in a terrible accident early in 2013 where he broke his back and lost the use of his legs. Despite adjusting to this new way of life, Frederick maintains the same never give up spirit and hopes to return to side-by-side racing in the coming months and years.
Traci Cecco
Traci Cecco is the sole woman on our list for her incredible accomplishments in a largely male-dominated sport. Cecco earned a total of nine ATV championships during her career and is widely considered one of the most influential women of the sport. Although she retired after her ninth championship in 2012, Cecco remains present at the GNCC events, supporting her husband and the racing family she has built over the years.
Jeremiah Jones
Jeremiah Jones made our top 10 list not just for his success on an ATV (he has three national championships to his name), but also for his commitment to the sport as a whole. He was one of Suzuki's power players back when it were racing the LT-Z400 and he was instrumental in the development of the LT-R450. If you follow ATV racing at all, you are probably aware that Jones suffered a career ending accident in 2006 that left him without the use of his legs. Despite such a life-changing incident, Jones has remained heavily involved in the industry that he loves, serving as the team manager for the Factory Suzuki race team as well as a trackside rep for several industry companies. Today Jones continues to attend the nationals and also runs his own riding school where he grooms the next crop of ATV racers.
Chris Borich
Although he has a ways to go to beat Bill Ballance's record of nine consecutive GNCC championships, Chris Borich is well on his way. The Suzuki-backed Borich is a constant threat and has a reputation for messing with other racers, hanging back until the final lap of the race and then charging hard for the win. Some have said it's almost as if he can pass at will. Borich is in the top spot this year and is working to add championship number five to the list. Only time will tell if Borich can catch Ballance, but if can wrap up the 2013 championship he'll be over halfway there.
Chad Wienen
Photo courtesy ATVA
Chad Wienen is another rider who doesn't have a huge number of championships under his belt, but he earns a spot on the list for being one of the hardest working racers in the sport. Wienen burst onto the scene back in the mid 2000s with a reputation as a guy who could manhandle the quad underneath him. He's one of the only racers to have ridden for almost every factory race team (Suzuki, Kawasaki, Can-Am and Yamaha) and after breaking his back during the 2011 season, could have easily thrown in the towel and given up without ever achieving the ultimate goal of winning a Pro ATV national championship. Instead of quitting, Wienen trained even harder, put together a completely new program with Yamaha and went out and won the 2012 ATV motocross national championship. His perseverance paid off and after eight rounds of racing, Wienen is close to wrapping up the 2013 title as well. He's a great example of hard work and dedication and will be tough to beat in the years to come.

Q: Does Entity Framework execute C# functions in database or locally? I have the following EF6 linq query:
List<Segments> CloseSel = _context?.Segments
   .Where(sv => listGeos.Any(geo => sv.Geometry_Data.Distance(geo) <= radius))
   .ToList();

Basically gets geometry shapes (similar to osm) close to a geometry point, it works well and quite fast (less than 2 seconds) with a local database, but when I push for a remote database, the query takes so long it throws a timeout exception (it works for other queries that just gets objects by id so i know its not a connection issue).
Could it be possible that it executes the Distance() function locally and comes back to the C# side every time it tries to determine if the rows are close to the point?
If so can it be solved with a stored procedure or function on the SQL side?
EDIT :
Here are a few more details, the local database is a mdf file, and the 'distant' one is the same mdf file attached to an sql server instance, which is the connection string i am using. The table has a little less than 1 million entries.
The Distance function is actually from the class System.Data.Entity.Spatial, which gets translated to STDistance in sql, so it should not be the reason it pulls the entire table.
Here is the translated query:
SELECT
[Extent1].[Id_Segment] AS [Id_Segment],
...
[Extent1].[Geometry_Data] AS [Geometry_Data]
FROM [dbo].[Segments] AS [Extent1]
WHERE  EXISTS (SELECT
    1 AS [C1]
    FROM  (SELECT
        geometry::STGeomFromText(N'POINT (35 30)', 0) AS [C1]
        FROM  ( SELECT 1 AS X ) AS [SingleRowTable1]
    UNION ALL
        SELECT
        geometry::STGeomFromText(N'POINT (45 20)', 0) AS [C1]
        FROM  ( SELECT 1 AS X ) AS [SingleRowTable2]
    ...
    UNION ALL
        SELECT
        geometry::STGeomFromText(N'POINT (25 10)', 0) AS [C1]
        FROM  ( SELECT 1 AS X ) AS [SingleRowTable13]) AS [UnionAll12]
    WHERE ([Extent1].[Geometry_Data].STDistance([UnionAll12].[C1])) <= 5
)

Now what's really curious is that it will take the query maybe 5 seconds in local, but if I try to execute it directly on the distant sql server it will take more than ten minutes (and i had to stop before the end)
EDIT 2:
Ok so turns out the distant database is using a 2012 sqlserver, which at the time was really not optimised for spatial data, since the wide spread of spatial data came a little later, when i tried it on a 2019 sqlserver it came whith the same performance as the mdf file since EF6 is implicitely handling the file as a newer version of sqlserver.
Here is a link to try and solve the problem on an old sqlserver version if upgrade is not possible

A: As soon as you are using a local function to evaluate a condition the whole dataset has to be retrieved from the DB first.
To overcome that problem, create a UDF and either use its result in a calculated column or map it so it can be used inside LINQ queries. This way, the condition is evaluated on the server and only the appropriate data is transfered to the client.

There are no restricted areas on Seili. However, there are a number of private properties on the northern and southern ends of the island so please avoid trespassing.
The island belongs to several environmental conservation programmes, therefore camping and campfires are strictly forbidden everywhere on the island. Smoking is also prohibited near the church and in other specified areas.
At sea, please follow instructions given by the boat captain/course leader in all circumstances. In small boats, all passengers must wear a life vest and adhere to common maritime safety regulations.
Castor bean ticks (Ixodes ricinus) are common at Seili. Therefore, if possible, we recommend to avoid areas with high grass or other thick vegetation and keep to the roads and lawns. A daily check for ticks is effective in preventing them from attaching. You should especially check areas of the body with thin skin. If you find an attached tick, tweezers for removing it can be obtained at the main building. If you have difficulty detaching the tick, contact the staff for help. You should observe the bite for a few weeks in case of a Lyme disease (borreliosis) infection. The most visible symptom is a rash that appears around the bite in a spreading circle shape. Other symptoms resemble the common cold: fever, headache, muscle aches etc. The infection is treatable with antibiotics.

ABOUT. Saba, referred to as the Unspoiled Queen of the Caribbean, is a Dutch island south of St. Maarten in the Lesser Antilles. The island was formed as the top of a volcano that became active during the middle of the late Pleistocene era. Now a dormant volcano, it has not erupted for about 5,000yrs. This tiny mountainous island boasts a highest point of 2,877 feet above sea level atop Mount Scenery. Its current towns and major settlements are The Bottom (the capital), Windwardside, Hell's Gate and St. Johns. The name "Saba" is believed to be of Greek and Arabic origin and its meaning is derived from Sheba meaning"morning" and refers to the Biblical queen of Sheba.
Circa 800 AD – Arawak Indians migrated into the Caribbean basin from South America and built villages on Saba. Christopher Columbus is said to have sighted the island on 13 November 1493, but he did not land, being deterred by the island's dangerous and rocky shores. Steep cliffs and bluffs can be seen throughout the island with several sheer walls rising over 100m (330ft). In 1632, a group of shipwrecked Englishmen landed upon Saba. In 1640, the Dutch West Indian Company, which had already settled on the neighboring island of St. Eustatius known as "The Golden Rock" was a center of business and brought people over to colonize the island. For almost 200 years the island went The Dutch, Spanish, French and English. For many years Saba was known as a haven for Caribbean pirates.
The Unspoiled Queen's inhabitants were of Dutch, African, English, Scottish and Irish descent and many of the men became sailors and fishermen. Sailing and fishing took many of the Saba men away from the island for a long time. Since the "man of the house" was often away Saba's women became very resilient and independent by necessity. The women made socks, shoes, belts, gloves, Panama style straw hats and lace. The island thus became known as "The Island of Women".
Saba's plant and animal life is a mixture of native and introduced species. Mango, banana, Black-Eyed Susan, tree frogs, goats and chickens were all brought to the island. Anoles lizards are found only on Saba and so are Red-Bellied Racer Snakes which are completely harmless. Saba is home to over sixty species of birds, many of which are seabirds. Closer to the sea, grassy meadows with scattered shrubs predominate. Due to its rugged terrain, Saba does not have typical Caribbean beaches but instead has sandy bays.
The vegetation of Saba is mainly composed of woodland forest with ferns and damp soil, and many mango trees. There is one main road, known as "The Road". The island of Saba is relatively new to the tourism industry. The island is especially known for its ecotourism, having exceptional scuba diving, climbing and hiking. A non-governmental conservation organization, Saba Conservation Foundation, helps protect the nature and culture of the island. Formally part of the Netherlands Antilles, Saba became part of a Special municipality of the Kingdom of the Netherlands together with the islands of St. Eustatius and Bonaire in 2010.
