The Telecom Act of 1996 Governs Tech from #17yrsAgo; It Shouldn't Govern Today's Innovations
Do you remember what you were doing 17 years ago? Well, the Telecommunications Act does. That's because it has stayed the same since it was signed into law way back in 1996.
A lot has changed since 1996 in the telecommunications sector; however, the Telecommunications Act of 1996 hasn't changed at all. Through this week's blog posts and our twitter handle @DigitalLiberty, Digital Liberty is calling attention to the fact that we should not apply these arcane regulations governing near obsolete TDM technology, like copper wires, to the Next Generation technologies, like fiber networks, and moves to completely IP based communications.
Regulations are just a snap shot of the time, and aren't updated frequently enough to address changes in basic infrastructure or business models. "Internet" was only mentioned twice in the entire Act, which had been under way for ten years prior to its enaction.
In his speech prior to signing the act President Clinton said, "Today our world is being remade yet again by an information revolution, changing the way we work, the way we live, the way we relate to each other… But this revolution has been held back by outdated laws, designed for a time when there was… no such thing as a personal computer." Change the last line to "no such thing as Google, YouTube, Facebook, smartphones, mobile applications, etc.," and that statement would apply to the world we know today.
The Telecommunications Act of 1996 was appropriate for the time period in which it was created. At that time, the Internet was inaccessible to much of the American public, instead being used primarily by the federal government, major academic institutions, and hobbyists. Internet connections were through dial-up modems, a temperamental service at best. Phones only had one application – to make phone calls.
The times have certainly changed. According to U.S. Telecom, private sector broadband investment totals nearly $1.2 trillion since 1996. Pew Research Center recently reported that, as of December 2012, 45 percent of American adults have a smartphone. And as of January 2013, 26 percent of American adults own an e-book reader and 31 percent own a tablet computer.
Perhaps most telling is that there are now more wireless devices than people in the U.S. Internet access now affects every aspect of our lives. From searching and applying for jobs to seeking medical advice to finding out the fastest route home from the mall, instant access to technology has become a staple in daily life.
Things don't appear to be changing any time soon. A new Cisco report estimates there will be more smartphones, tablets, laptops and internet-connected mobile devices than people in the world before the end of this year. Mobile applications have revolutionized the way we communicate with each other, educate ourselves, monitor our health and even monitor the energy efficiencies of our households. With more and more applications for wireless technologies coming out every day, connected devices aren't just your mobile or computer they are your car and your house too. We are, put simply, living in a very different world.
Any new regulations should be clearly thought through with built in flexibility for ever changing technologies and business models. Congress should give the FCC direction so they do not apply these stilted regulations to one of the major movers of the American Economy. However, even in 1996 Congress did give the FCC a deregulatory direction for getting rid of out dated laws and forbearance for testing new technologies. From experience we know that once give power any arm of the government is more than slow to releqesh it. While waiting for new direction from Congress, the FCC has the opportunity to set an example and use the deregulatory provisions built into the 1996 Telecommunications Act rather than attempting to expand its power based on outdated ideas of what constitutes connectedness and competition.
If the United States wants to continue to be the leader in technological innovation, our regulatory policies must reflect the dynamic Internet age that we are living in today.
Our technology has been modernized in the last 17 years, why not the laws that govern them?

Everybody knows at least a few families who chose a Subaru Forester as their 5-passenger compact crossover SUV investment, and not all of them live in Denver. Our country's Subaru obsession may have started in the mountains, but it has certainly come down off the slopes and trails and now, sporting strong initial value, exceptional resale value, and legendary all-wheel drive, fulfilled families all over North America have been driving the most distinctive Japanese brand out there.
Riding high and on a roll in the U.S., Subaru has introduced an all-new Forester for 2019. Tackling city streets, mountain roads, mountain off-roads, and snow-covered you-name-its – all with equal ease – the new Forester rides on the same new global platform that makes the Crosstrek such a force to be reckoned with. While the visual cues aren't radically different from the previous SUV, Subaru managed to create more interior room in both rows, a wider rear opening for better cargo loading, and a full 8.7 inches of ground clearance (same as last year's Forester) for those times when the road gets rugged. However, this year's model is both quieter and more lithe on the road.
Under the hood, the new Forester is powered by a sweetened version of Subaru's 2.5-liter flat-4, which now produces 182 horsepower, a moderate helping of power, but still plenty to get you up to highway speeds even with the whole tribe on board. To mate with the sole Forester engine, Subaru has developed a continuously variable automatic transmission with varied drive modes from smooth to sporty, and capable of achieving as much as 33 mpg on the highway – even with all-wheel drive as a steadfast standard feature.
A hot contender again this year in our annual Best Resale Value Awards competition, the Forester has long been notable for how well it retains its resale value. With this new generation, the compact SUV puts a new emphasis on making intelligent safety and convenience features standard. In addition to – and well beyond – Apple CarPlay and Android Auto coming on every 2019 Forester, Subaru includes its EyeSight suite of safety features. EyeSight includes adaptive cruise control, automatic braking and throttle management to prevent collisions with cars and pedestrians, lane-departure warning, and lane-keeping assist.
Other standard equipment on every 2019 Subaru Forester includes LED headlights, automatic power door locks, an electronic parking brake, and automatic climate control. While the Forester's towing capacity is a shrug of 1,500 pounds, it does come with standard trailer-stability assist. For off-pavement family adventures, a convenient rearview-camera washer helps keep the world behind you clear when backing up.
A host of family-flavored options – often determined by the trim level you choose – are available on the new Forester, including roof rails, an all-weather package (heated front seats, and exterior mirrors with a windshield de-icer), and for peace in the back seats, dual USB ports.
This all-new family-value Subaru compact SUV starts just a few hundred dollars more than the previous-generation model, launching at $25,270, but you can top $32,000 if you really indulge yourself. Either way, the desirability of all Subarus makes it easy to get a good deal of your investment back when the time comes to sell your Forester.

Have you been looking for a locksmith? If the answer is yes, there are a number of things that you need to have in mind before you settle for one. Outlined below are some of the factors that you need to consider before you hire a locksmith.
One of the essential things that you need to do before you choose a locksmith is research. Reviews can be highly resourceful because they can steer you in the right direction.
You need to also think about the locksmith's reputation. Go through their blogs and websites and make sure that you have seen some of the testimonials. You will always find that locksmith's who offer excellent services will always receive praise from clients. Nonetheless, you can also expect to hear about the bad services that clients have experienced from some locksmiths. Through testimonials, you will get to know about some of the services that a locksmith offers and whether it is possible to trust them with what you want to be done.
You must always make sure that the type of professional you are working with is someone that is legally allowed to practice. You can start by looking at the locksmith's website and get to find out for how long they have been offering their services. The minute you get to know that the locksmith you want to hire is legit, it becomes easier for you to feel comfortable about the quality of services you will get. This is vital because the last thing that you want is to have a random stranger fixing your lock. This can be dangerous.
It is also necessary that you know the cost of hiring a locksmith. Locksmiths offer a range of services, and that means it is good for you to know what the one you need will cost you. Do your homework and get to know what a service will cost you. Taking this action will allow you to know which services you can pay for. Additionally, you may also want to learn about whether you will be paying the locksmith per hour of work or a one time payment.
To conclude, you ought to think about what times the locksmith business is open. You can find yourself locked out of your home at any time. That means that when the problem arises, you will need to find an expert that can fix it. If you are not able to get help when you require it, then you will have more problems. That is why you should identify a 24/7 locksmith service.

Adams and Reese Names Matthew B. Hill Partner In Charge of Columbia Office
Robert P. Bethea Jr.Matthew B. Hill
Adams and Reese's Columbia office will have a new leader as Matthew B. Hill has been named the new Partner in Charge of firm's South Carolina branch, managing partner Gif Thornton announced Wednesday.
The move comes in congruence with the designation of former Columbia PIC Robert P. Bethea to Adams and Reese's mergers and acquisitions team leader. The new moves come one day after the two attorneys were named 2017 Legal Elite by Columbia Business Monthly, and Hill will oversee operations of the office.
Hill joined Adams and Reese in 2013 as a partner following the firm's expansion into Columbia. His real estate practice provides counsel to individuals and real estate development groups in connection with the acquisition, sale, construction and development of commercial and residential real estate projects. His practice also concentrates on providing representation to national and regional landlords and tenants as they negotiate, renew, modify and work out commercial leases involving retail, warehouse, industrial, office, and restaurant space. Hill also serves as counsel to national and regional banks and other institutional lenders in connection with credit facilities provided for office and retail development projects; industrial facilities; asset-based financings; and troubled debt restructuring and workouts.
Committed to investing personal time in the community, Hill serves on the Executive Committee of the Greater Columbia Chamber of Commerce and is a 2004 graduate of the Chamber's Leadership Columbia program. He serves on the Board of the South Carolina Wildlife Federation and currently is a member of the organization's Executive Committee. Hill is a past president of the Columbia Kiwanis.
A 1997 graduate of Davidson College, Hill earned his J.D. from the University of South Carolina School of Law in 2001. He serves the South Carolina Bar as a member of the Corporate, Banking & Securities Law Section Council, and is a past recipient of the Richland County Bar Association's Civic Star Award.
Bethea joined Adams and Reese in 2013 and served as the firms' Columbia Partner in Charge since the office was opened. Practicing law since 1996, Bethea is ranked by Best Lawyers (by BL Rankings, LLC) in Corporate, Mergers and Acquisitions, and Tax Law, and by Chambers USA for Mergers and Acquisitions. He is the former leader of the Ellis Lawhorne business, real estate and finance practice group and the management committee before the firm merged with Adams and Reese.
His practice focuses on business transactions ranging from early-stage startups, to mid-cycle company growth through acquisitions, recapitalizations and financing transactions, through succession planning and divestitures. Often acting as primary outside counsel for corporate clients, he routinely advises on taxation, business contracts and agreements, company governance matters and compliance issues in coordination with in-house counsel and company finance and accounting professionals. Bethea's clients include manufacturers in chemical, medical device, automotive and marine industries, and service industry firms in healthcare, finance and business services sectors.
Bethea earned his bachelor's degree from Wofford College in 1993, his J.D. from the University of South Carolina School of Law in 1996 and his LL.M. from New York University School of Law in 1997. In the community, he is a graduate of the Greater Columbia Chamber of Commerce's Leadership Columbia program and has served on the Hammond School Board of Trustees, Discovery Council Board for EdVenture Children's Museum and the Hammond School Alumni Board.

Not to suggest copying something I saw in another data modeler, DbSchema (http://www.dbschema.com/index.html) has the ability to view the default values and comments of each column within the data model by mousing over the column causing a pop-up to display with the information. If not wanting/able to emulate this functionality, would there be a way to allow users to "set" the data model to display this information? Thanks!
Right now it's not possible to show such information on a diagram.

A: The problem is with the code
private void Button_Click_Clear(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    foreach (var series in columnChart.Series.OfType<Series>())
    {
        series.DataContext = null;
    }
    columnChart.Series.Clear();
    dataToChart.Clear();
}

*

*You're setting the DataContext to null, but you're not reassigning it afterwards, leaving the data feed broken.

*The line columnChart.Series.Clear() wipes out the ColumnSeries you declared in XAML. Again, not reassigning causes the chart to remain blank.

You could overcome both issues using
private void Button_Click_Clear(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    dataToChart.Clear();
    foreach (var series in columnChart.Series.OfType<Series>())
    {
        series.DataContext = null;
        series.DataContext = dataToChart;
    }
}

Of course, in case of multiple series with different DataContext, you'd need to reassign the right Input to the corresponding series.DataContext.

July 09, 2011 • Heidi Shenk • "birthday" • "cards" • "challenge" • "design a day" • "design"
I'm feeling in a happy birthday kind of mood recently. So I've cooked up yet another birthday card design. This may be the last printed card you'll see in the next few days as I had a bit of an ink emergency this afternoon. But I won't go into that for now. Back to the new design. Simple lettering on white and gray pinstripes. Plus, a super cool square card with rounded corners.
I kind of wish someone else would have thought of this design and given this card to me for my birthday. I love simple, as you know, so this is just right.

LDP secretary-general: The power behind the PM
They are de facto the most powerful person within the party after its president
With a record of securing solid Liberal Democratic Party wins in Diet elections and showing strong support for Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, LDP Secretary-General Toshihiro Nikai is a powerful party leader and loyal Abe ally. | KYODO
by Eric Johnston
OSAKA – On April 22, 81-year-old Toshihiro Nikai, the 12-term Liberal Democratic Party Lower House member from Wakayama Prefecture, marked 1,359 days as party secretary-general. He is now the second-longest serving person in that position in the 65-year history of the LDP, following Kakuei Tanaka, a former prime minister. If he is still in the post come September, he'll be the longest-serving.
LDP's secretary-general is de facto the most powerful person within the LDP after the president, who doubles as prime minister when the LDP is a ruling party. Since the party's founding in 1955, 12 men who held the post have become prime minister. Here's a look at the office and some of those who served in it.
What is the role of the LDP secretary-general?
Along with the LDP general council chairman (currently Shunichi Suzuki), the policy research council chair (Fumio Kishida) and the election strategy committee chair (Hakubun Shimomura), the secretary-general runs the party.
Under the LDP's constitution, the secretary-general is appointed by the party president (Shinzo Abe) and must receive approval from the LDP General Council. That body consists of 25 LDP Diet members.
The job of the secretary-general is to assist the president in carrying out party affairs. There are four bureaus under the secretary-general, including the Personnel, Treasury, Information Research and International bureaus. The first two are particularly important, as they involve intraparty promotions and funding for party activities.
In the past, when LDP headquarters was more powerful than today, an LDP secretary-general was a power broker who controlled which candidates would run for election and had a lot of say in how much money each might receive from the party. The strongest secretaries-general could thus determine, and even force the resignation of, the prime minister.
For example, then-LDP Secretary-General Ichiro Ozawa backed Toshiki Kaifu, who served as prime minister between 1989 and 1991. Hiromu Nonaka, as LDP Secretary-General, backed Yoshiro Mori (who would lead the efforts to bring the 2019 Rugby World Cup and 2020 Olympics to Japan). Though the secretaries-general chose the prime ministers, they did so with the support of the different LDP factions, and then interfered in the prime minister's decisions on Cabinet members and policy.
Neither Kaifu nor Mori enjoyed much popularity during their terms as prime minister, with Kaifu being called "Prime Minister 'Tofu'" (a play on the first and last syllables of his given and family names for his supposedly soft, tofu-like personality). Mori, who took office in April 2000 after Prime Minister Keizo Obuchi collapsed from a stroke, lasted only one year, with one poll in the Asahi Shimbun showing a 9 percent support rate in February 2001, two months before he resigned.
What happened to the role of the secretary-general after Mori left?
Mori was succeeded by Junichiro Koizumi, an outspoken party outsider from Kanagawa Prefecture. Koizumi was often at odds with the party's traditional rural base and had never held a top LDP post before. But he was extremely popular with the public, as he vowed to carry out a host of structural reforms.
Koizumi appointed Shinzo Abe to the secretary-general post in September 2003. It was a surprise to many party members and political observers — Abe, unlike his predecessors, had never held a Cabinet position or a top party post. He had won Koizumi's trust by, among other things, acting as a key leader in pushing for the return of Japanese nationals who had been abducted to North Korea in the 1970s and 1980s. Abe helped arrange for Koizumi's September 2002 visit to North Korea and return to Japan with five of them.
Abe would resign as secretary-general in September 2004 to take responsibility for the LDP's losses in the July Upper House election. He was replaced by Tsutomu Takebe, who became known as "The Great 'Yes Man.'"
Koizumi wanted to privatize the postal system but faced stiff opposition from members of his own party. In what was essentially a public referendum on the issue, Koizumi called a snap election in September 2005, and Takebe, as secretary-general and at Koizumi's behest, told LDP members opposed to privatization they would not receive official party endorsement in the election, and would even run candidates against them.
The end result was that Koizumi supporters won enough seats to get the postal privatization bills passed afterwards. But the independence of the secretary-general position in relation to the prime minister's had been weakened.
With Nikai serving so long, what's the current power balance between the secretary-general and the LDP president?
Following a number of weak secretaries-general, Nikai was appointed to the post in August 2016, replacing Sadakazu Tanigaki, who stepped down due to injuries from a bicycle accident. Nikai was considered an Abe loyalist, whereas Abe and Tanigaki sometimes clashed on policy measures, especially on the postponement of a consumption tax hike, which Tanigaki opposed.
But Abe tried to get rid of Nikai in the Cabinet reshuffle last September. He wanted to appoint Fumio Kishida to the post, to give him a stepping stone to the Prime Ministers' Office.
Nikai, however, refused to step down, and Abe backed off. While not a "yes man" like Takebe, with his record of securing solid LDP wins in parliamentary elections and his strong support for Abe, including allowing LDP election rules to change so that Abe could serve a successive three-year term as party president, Nikai is a powerful party leader and loyal Abe ally. He has even suggested he would use his post to rewrite the rules again, to allow Abe to serve another term when the current one ends in September 2021.
However, Nikai has received criticism from other party members for allowing opposition lawmakers such as former Democratic Party of Japan senior member Goshi Hosono into the party. Nikai has already clashed with Kishida in particular over the selection of candidates, including Hosono.
But his long tenure, loyalty to the Abe administration and power over the party purse strings means the odds are good he'll still be in the post on Sept. 8, when he'll set the record as the longest-serving secretary-general in party history.
Shinzo Abe, LDP, Ichiro Ozawa, Sadakazu Tanigaki, Yoshiro Mori, Junichiro Koizumi, Hiromu Nonaka, Toshihiro Nikai, Toshiki Kaifu, Tsutomu Takebe

This paper discusses the properties and the numerical discretizations of the fractional substantial integral and the fractional substantial derivative where , σ can be a constant or a function not related to x, say σ(y); and m is the smallest integer that exceeds μ. The Fourier transform method and fractional linear multistep method are used to analyze the properties or derive the discretized schemes. And the convergences of the presented discretized schemes with the global truncation error (p = 1,2,3,4,5) are theoretically proved and numerically verified.

Q: How to compare data between two databases in PostgreSQL? Is it possible to compare two databases with identical structure?
Let say that I have two databases DB1 and DB2 and I want to check if there is a difference in data between them.

A: I'm working on a comprehensive comparison tool for Postgres. It will be free while in beta.
PostgresCompare
Initially this is just schema (DDL) comparison but we will probably expand to data also. I believe this is a tool that a lot of shops require in order to move from their current RDBMS without having to also change how their development environments, operations etc work too.

A: I have evaluated a lot of the tools and found following solution:
Schema comparison:
The most interesting were Liquibase, Persyas and PgCodeKeeper:
(issue) Liquebase converts:
 SET DEFAULT nextval('myschema.name_id_seq'::regclass)

into
BIGSERIAL

So it was rejected to use
(issue) Persyas worked fine untill I added some additional schema and it starts throwing following:
pyrseas_1       | TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not iterable

So I have found PgCodeKeeper it works perfectly and it is alive (you can check releases).
I use following command:
./pgcodekeeper-cli.sh -E -I ./ignore.txt \
-s "jdbc:postgresql://localhost/postgres?user=postgres&password=123" \
-t "jdbc:postgresql://localhost/postgres?user=postgres&password=123" \
-o /result/schema-diff-$(date +'%m%d%y_%H%M%S').sql

Data comparison:
I have tried to use Liquebase and it just does not work you can see the steps I tried in my unanswered question about data difference of two databases with Liquebase
So I have found another project SQL Workbench/J
It works really nice and generate reall diff in sql.
I use following command:
  java -jar /sqlworkbench.jar -command="'WbDataDiff -excludeTables=$EXCLUDE_TABLES \
-referenceConnection=$REFERENCE_CONNECTION \
-targetConnection=$TARGET_CONNECTION -referenceSchema=$1 \
-targetSchema=$1  -file=$DIFF_RESULT_FILE -singleFile=true \
-includeDelete=true -ignoreMissingTarget=true ;'"

Both tools support objects filtration. It is really convenient.
Migrations
And finally I use Liquebase just for migration/version tracking.

A: Try using pg_dump on both databases and diffing the files.

A: The best tool which I ever seen
https://pythonhosted.org/Pyrseas/

*

*Get dump from database A
dbtoyaml ...

*Generate migration from A => B
yamltodb ... [file generated in step 1]

A: Another free app (that can only compare structure, but not data):
DBeaver - you can select databases, tables, etc to compare with each other

A: There are several tools out there:
(note that most of these tools can only compare structure, but not data)
Free Ones:

*

*pgquarrel: http://eulerto.github.io/pgquarrel (schema diff)

*apgdiff http://apgdiff.com/ (schema diff)

*Liquibase (Cross DBMS): http://www.liquibase.org (schema diff)

*pgAdmin https://www.pgadmin.org (schema diff in pgAdmin4)

*WbDataDiff (Cross DBMS): http://www.sql-workbench.net/manual/compare-commands.html#command-data-diff (data diff)

*WbSchemaDiff (Cross DBMS): http://www.sql-workbench.net/manual/compare-commands.html

*Migra https://migra.djrobstep.com/ (schema diff)

Commercial:

*

*DB Comparer: http://www.sqlmanager.net/en/products/postgresql/dbcomparer

*Aqua Data Studio: http://docs.aquafold.com/docs-diff-schema.html

*DB Solo: http://www.dbsolo.com/index.html (30 day trial)

*PostgresCompare: https://www.postgrescompare.com/ (14 day trial, compares schema and data)

A: I created a tool to compare 2 live PostgreSQL databases(not dumps), table data and sequences. Pretty early days but achieved what I wanted it to do, maybe it can help you too.
https://github.com/dmarkey/pgdatadiff

A: The tool pgtricks has a command called pg_dump_splitsort
You can execute it on a dump.
Example:
pg_dump > pre-changes.sql
mkdir pre-changes
cd pre-changes
pg_dump_splitsort ../pre-changes.sql

now do some changes to your DB

pg_dump > post-changes.sql
mkdir post-changes
cd post-changes
pg_dump_splitsort ../post-changes.sql

cd ..

meld pre-changes post-changes

A: I'm also looking for a tool to compare data in databases (in particular I was interested in comparing Redshift DB).
So far the best I found is https://www.dbbest.com/products/database-compare-suite/#close.
Unfortunately the free trial expires after one day.

A: In my opinion Dbforge is the most powerful tool for comapring data in postgresql .It's a product of Devart company.you can download here.

A: Use https://github.com/covrom/goerd for simple databases (without triggers, stored procs and nesting tables).

A: If you already own a license for JetBrains DataGrip, it is worth checking out the Compare feature that is built into that tool - see vendor documentation on the feature here.
One nice feature is you can select arbitrary rows and columns from the two tables you wish to compare, and then compare the results in the output pane. This gives you another way of ignoring things like identity columns which may have valid reasons to be different in each database.

A: There is another GUI diff tool, currently it is for Windows only: KS DB Merge Tools for PostgreSQL. Not an open source, but pretty functional free version available - allows to compare schema, diff and merge table data and some programming objects:

I am the author of that tool.

Betting on Golf: Butterfield Bermuda Championship
Ryan Pohle
This article is part of our Betting on Golf series.
Bermuda Championship Betting Preview
This week the PGA Tour heads to the Atlantic for the third edition of the Butterfield Bermuda Championship at Port Royal Golf Club. Originally held as an alternate-field event, the tournament was elevated to a regular Tour stop last year, and the prize pool was increased from $4 million to $6.5 million this year. That wasn't enough to attract any of the game's best, however, with world No. 24 Patrick Reed and tournament favorite Matt Fitzpatrick – at 10-1 odds – headlining this year's field. Last year, Brian Gay won as the longest of long shots at 175-1 odds, making birdie on nine of his final 14 holes and defeating Wyndham Clark on the first playoff hole.
A par-71 course at just over 6,800 yards, Port Royal GC will play as the shortest track on the PGA Tour all season. The scorecard doesn't include a par-4 over 460 yards, and all three par-5s are reachable in two with good drives. What that means? Plenty of scoring opportunities. The course's main avenue of defense tends to be the weather, and expected windy conditions and rain over the weekend may keep the winning score closer to the 15-under-par score we saw last year rather than the 24-under mark that was posted in 2019. Driving accuracy will be much more important than distance this week, with players often only needing a long iron or a 3-wood off the tee. Although the course doesn't have any historical strokes-gained data to draw from, approach play and putting should play a key role in determining who winds up at the top of the leaderboard.
All odds via DraftKings Sportsbook as of 8:00 PM ET Tuesday.
The following five golfers, with a minimum of six rounds played, have the lowest scoring average at Port Royal Golf Course:
Brian Gay: 66.9
Ryan Armour: 67.8
David Hearn: 67.8
Hank Lebioda: 67.8
Denny McCarthy: 67.9
Defending champion Gay has clearly found a second home in Bermuda as, last year's champion also finished tied for third in 2019. He was certainly a surprising winner considering his form at the time, with his last top-10 coming at Port Royal the year prior and him missing nine of his previous 11 cuts. Coincidentally, Gay comes in this year with an identical record. The oddsmakers aren't giving him much of a chance, but he's certainly worthy of a dart throw at 100-1. Another player who has found success here is McCarthy, who fired a closing 63 – the low round of the day – last year to notch his second top-15 result in this event. He certainly excels in tournaments that turn into putting contests, having led the Tour in SG: Putting in 2018-19 and 2019-20. He's a good mid-range target this week at 50-1, particularly with him notching a pair of top-20s over his last five starts.
Approach Play
These players, on a per-round basis, gained the most strokes on approach over their last five tournaments:
Mito Pereira: 1.01
Cameron Percy: 0.93
Austin Eckroat: 0.70
Matthew NeSmith: 0.69
Joseph Bramlett: 0.68
Pereira has really stormed onto the scene since earning his three-win promotion from the Korn Ferry Tour, recording four top-10s since July. His metrics indicate his stellar play is no fluke – he's gaining a whopping 1.58 strokes per round off the tee and on approach combined through 28 measured rounds. Pereira is receiving respect from the oddsmakers as the third choice at 16-1, and deservedly so. Getting in this week on a sponsor's exemption is the 22-year-old Eckroat, who flashed his talent last season with a pair of top-20s in seven starts. Eckroat excelled with his irons in his limited starts, which should suit him well this week. He checks in at 65-1 odds to win, and although it's unlikely he winds up in the winner's circle, he will be an intriguing option in DFS lineups due to his below-average price tag.
Outright Picks
Seamus Power (20-1)
Power has experience at Port Royal, finishing T37 and T31 here the last two years. Both were his best result during the fall portion of the schedule. Since then, his game has moved to the next level, as he became a PGA Tour winner and had an impressive summer stretch that included six consecutive top-20s. He's a good choice among the top favorites and is generally a target of mine in events with weaker fields.
Adam Hadwin (35-1)
Like a good percentage of the participants, Hadwin is making his first trip to Bermuda, and this looks like a course that should be right up his alley. He can struggle to keep up on longer tracks, but that shouldn't be an issue here. I like leaning toward solid putters this week, and Hadwin is one of those. He is also in good form, notching a top-10 in three of his last seven starts.
Kramer Hickok (90-1)
I'm surprised Hickok is such a long shot in a weak field – he was 100-1 earlier Tuesday – especially considering he entered the final round ahead of Gay last year before settling for a T8 finish – his second top-15 in the event. Although his results since his runner-up at the Travelers Championship this summer have left much to be desired, it has been proven that current form isn't a prerequisite to winning in Bermuda.
Top-10 Wagers
Jason Dufner (6-1)
Matt Wallace came through with a top-5 at 9-1 odds last week, and I expect Dufner to keep the momentum rolling. While his best days are behind him, he has shown much improved form recently, with five straight made cuts – two of which resulted in the only top-25s he recorded last season. Dufner gained 1.46 shots from tee to green per round over those five events, and that makes him more than capable of a top-10 if he gets the putter going.
Adam Svensson (7-1)
Svensson failed to keep his card during his first stint on the PGA Tour in 2018-19, but his ball-striking numbers were solid, as he ranked 23rd that season in SG: Approach. He also played well on the Korn Ferry Tour, winning twice earlier this year. This season, I like Svensson as an under-the-radar option on shorter tracks where approach play is key.
Andrew Novak (9-1)
Novak isn't a familiar name to most golf fans yet, but the KFT graduate racked up a whopping 10 top-10s on the circuit last season ,which was only bested by three players. While he hasn't shown much at the top level yet, he should feel more at home this week on a shorter course in what will feel more like a Korn Ferry event.
Head-to-Head Matchups
Matthias Schwab (-110) over Danny Willett
After a 2-0 week at the ZOZO Championship, I'll turn to Schwab, who I view simply as the better golfer in this matchup. The young Austrian has played mostly on the European Tour but he gained his card through the Korn Ferry Tour finals after picking up two top-10s in three events. Willett won overseas a few weeks ago, but he has not experienced much success on the PGA Tour in a while, recording just one top-10 last season – and in an alternate-field event at that.
Stephan Jaeger (+105) over Patrick Rodgers
Both golfers are in good form, but Rodgers is always risky in the head-to-head format, as he tends to miss about as many cuts as he makes. His wayward nature off the tee makes him far from an ideal play this week, so I will lean toward the steadier Jaeger.

The real hurdle to economic participation is a business environment that leaves everyone behind.
The Arab uprisings have unleashed a new entrepreneurial spirit in the region, particularly among younger entrepreneurs who feel emboldened to launch new small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The international donor community has long supported SMEs as they create jobs, greater domestic income (especially among lower-income groups), economic growth, and social stability in emerging markets. Yet, donor activities have sometimes been misguided—however well-intentioned—and the current environment provides an opportunity to reevaluate the best ways to encourage entrepreneurship.
First and foremost, laws governing bankruptcy make the price of failure prohibitively high and thus promote a culture of risk aversion. Lack of information and transparency regarding business legislation is another problem. A third hurdle to entrepreneurship is the absence of formalized networks.
Many multilateral programs and international NGOs in the region focus disproportionately on female participation in SMEs. For example, the Development Assistance Committee within the OECD designated over 4.6 billion US dollars towards women's economic and productive sectors between 2007 and 2008.
The limited involvement of women in SMEs in the region cannot be doubted; the SME sector is characterized by low rates of female ownership and few female workers—in stark contrast to the participation of women in the informal sector. In the Middle East and North Africa, SMEs comprise the most substantive part the economy: there are 12 million SMEs, which make up 95 percent of the private sector. Even so, only about 300,000 of those are women-owned "formal" SMEs. In Egypt, these enterprises account for about 75 percent of total employment and 80 percent of the gross domestic product—yet women own less than two percent. Even with that disparity, it is important to remember that this trend is not unique to the Middle East; globally, women own only one-third of SMEs in emerging market economies (between eight and ten million).
To address this disparity, many programs try to level the playing field through microcredit loans to women. Although well intentioned, this focus on unequal access to credit ignores the real difficulties of doing business in the Middle East. Women's rights activists in the region often stress this and argue that the core obstacle to doing business in the Middle East is the failure of governments to create regulatory environments that facilitate access to institutional capital and knowledge and that are conducive to entrepreneurship for everyone, regardless of gender.
Both governments have introduced positive reforms in recent years; Jordan reduced the minimum capital requirements from 1,000 dinars to 1 Jordanian dinar whereas Egypt eliminated its minimum altogether in 2008. Jordan also moved to allow sales and income taxes to be filed electronically, while Egypt reduced fees for construction permits and licenses; and while both have established "one-stop shops" for registering businesses (easing the time considerations of start-ups considerably), much more still must be done.
As donors continue to review SME development in the Middle East and North Africa, they should move beyond access to credit and instead explore ways to connect entrepreneurs while pushing for more favorable legislation and greater government transparency.
First and foremost, laws governing bankruptcy make the price of failure prohibitively high and thus promote a culture of risk aversion. Egypt's current bankruptcy laws are very unfavorable to SMEs: not only are procedures extremely slow and costly, they even criminalize bankruptcy by mandating jail time. In such a business environment, scaling up is not a pragmatic option, much less investing in technology or capital-intense industries. In addition, by not clearing debtors for three years, they deny entrepreneurs the opportunity to restructure or start up new ventures; Jordan does not fair much better. Out of 183 countries, Jordan ranked 150 in "ease of getting credit" since entrepreneurs have weaker legal rights regarding repayment to creditors.
Lack of information and transparency regarding business legislation is another problem. According to Iman Bibars (chair of the Association for the Development and Enhancement of Women) about "about 80 percent of the Egyptian population is unaware of the lending processes" in addition to the government programs relevant to establishing a business. Many Egyptians are also not aware that new reforms, like the establishment of the General Authority for Investment and Free Zones (GAFI) allow simultaneous registration and licensing in a single location. Publishing procedures for the process online would go a long way at increasing both information awareness and transparency.
A third hurdle to entrepreneurship is the absence of formalized networks. Business success requires access to institutional knowledge to tackle challenges common to the group–and in this area, the most positive changes are taking place. Many private initiatives have established online networks in a variety of industries. Jordan's non-profit Young Entrepreneurs Association aims to serve as a focal point for educating and training entrepreneurs as well as encouraging collaborative work. Individuals like Lara Ayoub (who established Jordan's first independent daily news site, al-Ghad) have created networks to share advice and mentor new generations in skills not provided in the formal educational system, and similarly in Egypt, Egypreneur has provided a support system for new enterprises and identified topics for the sharing of institutional knowledge.
As donors continue to review SME development in the Middle East and North Africa, they should move beyond access to credit and instead explore ways to connect entrepreneurs while pushing for more favorable legislation and greater government transparency. The real hurdle to economic participation is a business environment that leaves everyone behind.

A last dance through the office, a last video message, then it was suddenly over, the presidential campaign of Kamala Harris. The Senator from California and immigrants daughter once had a good chance to be the first woman in the White house, and the first black person to do so. But now she had to cancel her election campaign, before the first code of the Democrats has taken place. You ran out of money. This is a bitter defeat for Harris, the move by some American media for years as the logical successor to Barack Obama high. But this is also a setback for your party.
The Democrats are much on the other, to be the modern face of America – the party of Blacks, of women, of immigrants, of young people and the minorities. In the spring of the Opposition, celebrated for its historically colorful field of presidential candidates. However, with the withdrawal of Harris, the only dark-skinned candidate leaves the race, had at least a halfway realistic Chance at victory in the primaries. At the next TV debate of the Democrats, probably the only white Applicants be standing on the stage – and more billionaires, as a minority representative. Of the four most promising candidates, three white men, two of them – Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders – are soon to 80 years old. Very divers, this is no longer.
That Harris had to give up, she has to take credit for themselves. They led not a particularly good campaign. Her and the other dark-skinned candidate not helped also that the Democrats hold their first primaries every Time in the pronounced white States of Iowa and New Hampshire.
Maybe the party still comes to a Premiere. And maybe the Person is on the ballot is, even Kamala Harris.
However, the previous election campaign of the Democrats shows that democratic voters, especially of a concern: the fear that a candidate could go in the main election against Donald Trump under. That he or she is especially true in the Swing States of the Midwest as "not selectable". "Electability" is the term used by the American commentators use for it. It is a vague concept, as a Definition of who, when, and for whom is it selectable, does not exist. Since Trumps victory many to understand, including the idea that only a white candidate against Trump can – and most likely a man. In this sense, Trump has not only the Republicans but also the Democrats who fight him so much.
This is the reason why the former Vice President Biden, the opinion polls still, although he has as a candidate a lot of weaknesses. "Biden has the best Chance to Trump the electorate": The sentence, in a conversation with democratic supporters, often from African-Americans that Biden is by far the most popular candidate is and in which Harris never really arrived.
Who is always that the Democrats as a presidential candidate, but is not nearly around it, to nominate, at least, a black Vice President or a black Vice-President. Thus, the party would still be a Premiere. And maybe the Person is on the ballot is, even Kamala Harris.

RMIT Vietnam graduate Diep Kim Thu blazed her own trail to become a well-respected expert in the IT industry.
Diep Kim Thu, a graduate of the Bachelor of Business (Business Information Systems) program, never thought that one day she would become a successful pioneer in the IT industry, a field which had traditionally been dominated by men.
Originally dreaming of becoming a politician so she could improve the lives of others, Thu later discovered that communication technology was becoming an inseparable part of everyday life by changing how people interact with one another and bringing them closer together. She chose to study Business Information Systems at RMIT Vietnam.
RMIT Vietnam satisfied many criteria that Thu had in mind when choosing a university for her Bachelor degree: an English speaking campus, an international education and, more importantly, an ideal location right in her home country.
The Business Information Systems (BIS) program at RMIT Vietnam combines information technology with business knowledge to design systems that can transform business practice in the digital age. BIS was all that Thu was looking for at that moment, which was how to employ technology to improve others' lives.
The fact that IT was still considered a male-dominated field didn't stop Thu from pursuing her dream. She became the Product Manager at ASUS Vietnam, and regardless of the general perception about IT, Thu blazed her own trail to become a talented and well-respected expert in the field, which would have never happened if Thu had not selected RMIT Vietnam and the BIS program. Thu had found the key to UNLOCK THE POSSIBILITIES.


The Panel has received an application from AWE Limited in relation to its affairs.
On 8 December 2017, CERCG Aus Gas Pty Ltd (CERCG) announced its intention to make an off-market takeover bid for AWE for cash consideration of $0.73 per AWE share.
On 21 December 2017, AWE announced that it had entered into a scheme implementation deed with Mineral Resources Limited (MinRes) under which MinRes agreed to acquire all of the shares in AWE for cash and MinRes shares with an implied value of $0.83 per AWE share, to be effected by way of scheme of arrangement.
On 25 January 2018, CERCG released its bidder's statement (the bidder's statement) on ASX.
On 29 January 2018, AWE announced that it had received a non-binding proposal from Mitsui & Co Ltd (Mitsui) to acquire all of the shares in AWE for cash consideration of $0.95 per AWE share, to be effected by way of an off-market takeover bid.
On 31 January 2018, AWE initiated the matching rights procedure set out in the scheme implementation deed with MinRes.
AWE submits that there are a number of material omissions from the bidder's statement including that it fails to prominently address the MinRes scheme of arrangement and sufficiently disclose information necessary to understand whether funding is available for the CERCG bid.
AWE submits that, as a result of these omissions, the acquisition of control over voting shares in AWE is not taking place in an efficient, competitive and informed market and AWE shareholders do not have enough information to enable them to properly assess the merits of the CERCG bid.
AWE seeks an interim order to restrain the despatch of the bidder's statement (or any supplementary or replacement bidder's statement).
AWE seeks final orders providing for corrective disclosure in the form of a replacement bidder's statement.


The World Association of Detectives Annual Conference in Las Vegas has caught the attention of the Daily Mail who have featured one of the seminars in an article on their website.
Michael Julian hosted a timely presentation to delegates on how to survive an active shooter situation - one year after the Las Vegas shooting which killed 58 people and injured more than 800 others at the Mandalay Bay resort.
Julian called for Americans of all ages to be given training to help them survive an active shooter situation. The Las Vegas strip went dark on Monday night to mark the the first anniversary of the atrocity.
The article also highlighted the work of the World Association of Detectives, whose outgoing President Mike LaCorte, CEO of Conflict International, explained how the organisation is helping alleviate pressures on public sector financing issues. He told the Daily Mail: "Our members are fighting fraud, investigating crime, finding missing children, preparing cases for litigation, you name it.
"The amazing work WAD members do in the private sector really relieves the pressure from the public sector, especially where police forces are stretched."

Full-Bodied Chaser "Hide The Wine" Thrives on Country Radio
NASVILLE, TN (March 20, 2018) – Carly Pearce (ASCAP) celebrated her first No. 1 alongside co-writer/producer busbee (BMI) and co-writer Emily Shackleton (BMI) yesterday afternoon (3/19). The long-time collaborators surprised industry guests, friends and family with a performance of their history-making No. 1 hit, "Every Little Thing" (Big Machine Records). Toasting during a party hosted by ASCAP and BMI at the Country Music Association in Nashville, congratulatory remarks with overwhelming sentiment flowed as speakers recalled Carly's long journey to breakout year.
"I've dreamt of what it would be like to have a No. 1 song since I moved to Nashville," shared Carly. "If I am living proof of anything it's that one song can change everything. I have experienced that with my peers over the years and have listened to the stories behind the songs that changed other people's lives, but I had no idea that 'Every Little Thing' was going to be that song for me."
"Every Little Thing" rose to the top of the Mediabase and Billboard Country Airplay charts in November 2017. The status solidified Carly as the highest charting solo female debut since July 2015, and she joins an elite group as one of only three women to accomplish this feat in the past 12 years. Her blockbuster ballad steered a trio of chart-toppers on SiriusXM's The Highway with "If My Name Was Whiskey" and current Country radio single "Hide The Wine" following. Each is featured on her full-length album EVERY LITTLE THING, which Uproxx deemed "the best country debut of 2017." Carly's textured vocals and emotive songwriting prowess are emphasized across the 13 tracks – eight of which she co-wrote, including five with busbee and three with Emily.
Carly has embraced the last year with unwavering determination, continuing to prove why her first ACM Awards nomination for New Female Vocalist of the Year is so well deserved. With her first arena tour under her belt on Blake Shelton's COUNTRY MUSIC FREAKS TOUR, Carly joins Thomas Rhett's LIFE CHANGES, Rascal Flatts' BACK TO US and Luke Bryan's WHAT MAKES YOU COUNTRY (including stadium dates) tours throughout 2018.

Joey was a 2004 American television series. It was a sitcom on the NBC network. The series was a spin-off of the series Friends. It starred Matt LeBlanc as Joey Tribbiani, his character from Friends. It consists of Joey, his sister, and his nephew.
Joey stopped broadcasting after the episode "Joey and the Snowball fight" because fewer than 4.1 million viewers tuned in, compared to 18 million who tuned into see the pilot episode. Joey Season 2 on DVD rocketed to over £35 in some cases because so few were made, and they were only released in Canada.

Water project to run through holidays
By Nick Sabo | December 14, 2019 | 7:36 am
Mount Vernon Newsnsabo@mountvernonnews.com
MOUNT VERNON — A contractor will work three, two-day weeks through the Christmas/New Year's season on water improvements on the northwest side of Mount Vernon.
City Assistant Engineer Jason Epley said Friday the improvements will cause some sporadic water shut-offs as well as boil advisories. To keep water on during the holidays, the work will be carried out in the days following Christmas and New Year's.
The contractor will be working Thursday and Friday next week, the week of Christmas and the week of New Year's. Epley said it isn't known if work will be completed by then, or what the schedule will be if it is not.
The project area is in the area of Curtis to James streets and Sandusky to Mansfield streets, Utilities Superintendent Mathias Orndorf said. There will also be work in the area of Old Mansfield, Marion and Charles streets.
The project includes line maintenance, including valves, hydrants and possibly a water line replacement. The project is funded through a Community Development Block Grant. Orndorf said a reference map of the project area is being prepared.
Orndorf further reported that valve work on the New Gambier Road reservoir will begin next week with a valve replacement.
Parking from Spice Alley to McKenzie Street in front of the Memorial Theater will be blocked off this weekend to provide an open lane for the Food For The Hungry food drive, Street Superintendent Tom Hinkle said. The parking on both sides of the street will be blocked off with barricades.
A section of curb and gutter on Upland Terrace was removed and repoured around a residential driveway, Hinkle said. The curbs were installed in small sections, Hinkle said, and many of them have become uneven and broken. Hinkle said the curbs should be replaced, but there is currently no schedule to do so.
The leaf drop-off area at Ariel-Foundation Park will close by 4 p.m. Monday. Hinkle encourages city residents to take leaves to the Thayer Road compost facility after that.
Parks and buildings and grounds
Two heat pumps at the Plaza Building will need to be replaced at an estimated $8,000 each, Parks and Buildings and Grounds Superintendent Dave Carpenter said. The pumps were examined during the routine maintenance of heat pumps.
A program through the state that reimburses cities for cremation and burial costs of indigent individuals is now in place. Carpenter said he is working on the first burial submission request for the program.
The painting of City Hall will continue through next week and is expected to be finished by Dec. 20.

Here Are The 5 Major Trends Seen On The 2018 Oscars Red Carpet Created with Sketch.
The likes of Janelle Monáe and Meryl Streep showed us what they are stylistically made of in daring red pieces. With this trend, artists celebrated their personalities while making a statement.
Artists like Betty Gabriel and Lupita Nyong'o brought out their inner princess by walking the red carpet in sparkly, metallic, embroidered and jewel-drenched gowns.
To add a refreshing element to the evening, actresses like the gorgeous and ever-so-elegant Margot Robbie and Mary J. Blige took over in white dresses. It takes a very brave woman to wear white, as the colour is easy to miss and can come off as bridal.
Love it or hate it. We found the celebrities bold enough to take fashion risks.
Even though it had been confirmed by the Timesup movement that there will not be a black dress code for the Oscars, there were a few women who wore the colour anyway. Here are some of our favourite black ensembles.

Philo Records was a short-lived record company and label founded in 1945 by the brothers Eddie and Leo Messner. Soon after it was founded, the name was changed to Aladdin.

Philo's releases included 78 RPM singles of Illinois Jacquet, Wynonie Harris, Helen Humes with the Bill Doggett Octet, Jay McShann and Lester Young, and an album (set of two 78 RPM records) of Lester Young, Nat King Cole and Red Callender.

When the U.S. Patent Office refused to register the label because of the similarity in name with the Philco radio corporation, which produced blanks for the record industry, the dispute was settled when the owners agreed to continue the name as Medlee.

On March 2, the company placed an advertisement in Billboard magazine, announcing the new trade name. The next week, though, they placed a new ad "correcting their mistake", announcing Aladdin Records. The numbering of the releases was continued, and older Philo releases were reprinted as Aladdin.

This label should not be confused with the folk-music label Philo Records, founded by Bill Schubart and Michael Couture in Vermont, which is owned by Rounder Records.

"Give me your tired, your poor
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free…"
When Miss Liberty arrives as a gift from France to the American people, her creator, Frederic Bartholdi, tells her that it is up to the Americans to build a base for her to stand on. She enlists the aid of Emma Lazarus, a young poet, and together they encounter a diverse collection of American citizens, from newly arrived immigrants and former slaves to famous newspaper mogul Joseph Pulitzer and President Grover Cleveland. Together, Emma and Miss Liberty compose the poem which will unite the people of America and help them to see the common dreams they share.

Identifiers uniquely and persistently pinpoint an entity to disambiguate it from others with the same or similar name or characteristics. They provide a transparent way to distinguish, for example, an author, institution, funder, or intellectual property. Integrated into important research workflows in the digital environment, identifiers support automated linkages that facilitate recognition and assessment. Identifiers are typically a numeric or alphanumeric string.
To help CMU researchers acquire an ORCID ID if they don't already have one.
To link CMU researcher ORCID IDs with their Andrew IDs in Carnegie Mellon's identity management system.
A pilot project was completed Fall semester 2014 for faculty and staff researchers in CIT. ORCID @ CMU is now open to all CMU researchers. To participate, go to https://orcid.library.cmu.edu and follow the brief instructions. Participation takes only a few minutes.
The report on ORCID@CMU provides data on participation per college and department through May 2015.
So researchers can get recognized. An ORCID ID is a persistent identifier that will distinguish you from other researchers throughout your scholarly career. You could be required to have an ORCID ID because publishers and funding agencies are increasingly integrating ORCID into the manuscript and grant proposal submission process.
And so CMU can connect CMU researchers with their contributions. Linking your ORCID ID to your Andrew ID in CMU's identity management system is important to facilitate research assessment. Over time, ORCID IDs will be integrated from the identity management system into the Sponsored Programs and Research Compliance System (SPARCS), KiltHub @ CMU and other campus systems.
If you have questions about ORCID @ CMU, contact David Scherer, daschere@andrew.cmu.edu.
ORCID stands for Open Researcher and Contributor Identification. ORCID is an open, non-profit, global, community-driven initiative to disambiguate authors of scholarly work and to better connect researchers to their research output and to each other. ORCID provides a persistent digital identifier that distinguishes you from every other researcher, and linkages that ensure your work is recognized.
ORCID members – academic institutions, funding agencies, publishers and others – are collaborating to create a repository of unique scholar identification numbers (ORCID IDs) and to integrate these IDs into key research workflows, including manuscript and grant submission. The integrations support automated linkages between you, your professional work, and your funding.
For updated information about ORCID integrations, see Member Integrations. To see who is involved in ORCID, see the lists of sponsors and members. For more information about the ORCID organization, see the ORCID FAQ.
2. Why should I have an ORCID ID? What's in it for me?
An ORCID ID is a persistent identifier that will distinguish you from other researchers throughout your scholarly career. You could be required to have an ORCID ID. Publishers and funding agencies are increasingly integrating ORCID into the manuscript and grant proposal submission process.
Elsevier, Thomson Reuters, Nature and other major publishers are integrating ORCID IDs into the manuscript submission process and embedding ORCID IDs across their research ecosystems. This will save authors time during submission and enable automatic updating of author bibliographies when articles are published.
NIH, NSF and other federal agencies are beginning to integrate ORCID IDs into the ScienCV platform, linking researchers, their grants, and their scientific output. The federal government aims to create an integrated profile system that streamlines the grants and contract application process and reduces the data entry burden for investigators.
For updated information about ORCID integrations, see Member Integrations.
3. What does ORCID membership do for CMU?
ORCID membership and IDs enable the University to more easily track and analyze CMU's scholarly output. ORCID can send us alerts about the research activities of CMU researchers. We can use ORCID data to populate local systems to support networking, collaboration, and reporting. For example, ORCID will substantially reduce the workload of managing and maintaining up-to-date information in the Sponsored Programs and Research Compliance System (SPARCS) and KiltHub @ CMU.
Member funding organizations can establish trusted relationships with grantees to receive updates on their research activities, thereby reducing application and post-award reporting requirements, including repository deposits. Member funders that integrate ORCID IDs into their grantee databases can reduce duplicate records and perform cross-organization data exchange and record management.
5. How do I get an ORCID ID?
Go to https://orcid.library.cmu.edu, click the Create My ORCID button, authenticate with your Andrew ID, and then follow the brief instructions. Your ORCID ID will be created and linked with your Andrew ID in Carnegie Mellon's identity management system.
You will receive an email message from ORCID asking you to claim your ORCID account. To claim your account, set an ORCID password, and access your ORCID record, simply click the secure link in the email message from ORCID. Do not use your Andrew password or any password affiliated with a Carnegie Mellon account as your ORCID password.
Only your name and ORCID ID will be displayed in your ORCID record. Your Andrew email address will be associated with your ORCID account, but it will not be displayed in your ORCID record or discoverable in a search of the ORCID Registry.
6. What if I already have an ORCID ID?
To avoid creating duplicate ORCID IDs, the University Libraries have created a web application that will prompt you to indicate whether you already have an ORCID ID or you want the Libraries to create an ORCID ID for you.
If you already have an ORCID ID, go to https://orcid.library.cmu.edu, click the Provide Existing ORCID button, and follow the brief instructions to link your ORCID ID with your Andrew ID in Carnegie Mellon's identity management system.

If you can't remember if you registered for an ORCID ID, search your name in the ORCID registry.
If you already have an ORCID ID go to https://orcid.library.cmu.edu, click the Provide Existing ORCID button, and follow the brief instructions to link your ORCID ID with your Andrew ID in Carnegie Mellon's identity management system.
If you do not have an ORCID ID go to https://orcid.library.cmu.edu, click the Create My ORCID button, and follow the brief instructions. Your ORCID ID will be created and linked with your Andrew ID in Carnegie Mellon's identity management system. You will receive an email message from ORCID asking you to claim your ORCID account. To claim your account, set an ORCID password, and access your ORCID record, simply click the secure link in the email message from ORCID.
Do not use your Andrew password or any password affiliated with a Carnegie Mellon account as your ORCID password.
8. Will the Libraries create an ORCID ID for me?
The University Libraries will help you create an ORCID ID and link it with your Andrew ID in Carnegie Mellon's identity management system.
You will receive an email message from ORCID asking you to claim your ORCID account. To claim your account, set an ORCID password, and access your ORCID record, simply click the secure link in the email message from ORCID. Do not use your Andrew password or any password affiliated with a Carnegie Mellon account as your ORCID password. Only your name and ORCID ID will be displayed in your ORCID record. Your Andrew email address will be associated with your ORCID account, but it will not be displayed in your ORCID record or discoverable in a search of the ORCID Registry.
10. How do I add email addresses to my ORCID record? How do I change the primary email address?
Login to ORCID, click the Account Settings tab under the banner at the top of the page, then click Edit on the Email line. Enter a new email address at the prompt and click Add. ORCID will prompt you for the password to the added email account and send a message to this account; click on the link in this message to verify the email address added to your ORCID accont.
11. How do I claim the ORCID account the Libraries create for me?
After you create an ORCID ID at https://orcid.library.cmu.edu, you will receive an email message from ORCID asking you to claim your ORCID account. To claim your account, set an ORCID password, and access your ORCID record, simply click the secure link in the email message from ORCID. Do not use your Andrew password or any password affiliated with a Carnegie Mellon account as your ORCID password.
Eight days after the initial email from ORCID, if you have not claimed your ORCID account you will receive a reminder email from ORCID. Two days after that, if you still have not claimed your ORCID account, your name and your ORCID ID will become publicly accessible in the ORCID Registry. Your ORCID account will be associated with your Andrew email address, but the email address will not be publicly accessible.
12. What if I end up with multiple ORCID IDs?
The Libraries' web application at https://orcid.library.cmu.edu is designed to prevent multiple ORCID IDs being created for you, but if you do end up with multiple ORCID IDs, contact support@orcid.org. ORCID has a procedure for dealing with duplicates. Essentially, they will merge the records so that one ORCID ID becomes a pointer to the other, which becomes your primary ORCID.
13. What information will the Libraries give ORCID about me?
If you use the Libraries' web application at https://orcid.library.cmu.edu to create an ORCID ID for you, only your name and Andrew email address are sent to ORCID. Only your name and your ORCID ID will be publicly accessible in the ORCID Registry. Your Andrew email address will be private and undiscoverable in a search of the ORCID Registry unless or until you choose to change the access control. See "Who can see my ORCID record? How do I set access controls?"
If you want to change the email address associated with your ORCID account, see "How do I add email addresses to my ORCID record? How do I change the Primary Email address?"
14. Who can see my ORCID record? How do I set up access controls?
15. When will I use my ORCID ID?
You might be asked for your ORCID ID when submitting a grant proposal or article manuscript. You might also want to add it to your web profile, your CV, or any place you list your research. ORCID recommends using the URL form of your ORCID identifier, e.g., http://orcid.org/0000-0002-8040-822X.

20. Can I manually add citations to my ORCID record?
Yes. Simply login to ORCID and click the Add Work Manually button in the Works section of your ORCID record. This will display a template for you to enter citation information and set access control on this item.
21. Is ORCID just for articles?
22. Do ORCID records support citations in non-Latin scripts?
Yes, non-Latin script character sets with Unicode encoding are supported for display and search of ORCID records and the ORCID Registry. Such citations can be added to your profile manually or imported if the exporting database supports these characters.
23. What happens to my ORCID account if I leave Carnegie Mellon?
Your ORCID ID and record go with you. ORCID is tied to you, not your institution. You can continue adding to your ORCID record regardless of where you work or study.
If you leave Carnegie Mellon University, we encourage you to update your ORCID record at orcid.org. Changing the Primary Email address associated with your ORCID account is particularly important if you will lose access to your Carnegie Mellon email account(s).
24. I want to support ORCID. Can I purchase ORCID schwag?
Yes. ORCID has a store on Cafe Press. You can purchase t-shirts, coffee mugs, etc. with the ORCID logo. You can customize some of the items with your ORCID ID.
25. I don't want an ORCID ID. Can I opt out?
Yes, you may opt out. Carnegie Mellon does not require you to have an ORCID ID.
If you created an ORCID ID, you can choose not to claim (activate) your ORCID account or, if you've activated it, you can close your ORCID account. We don't recommend this, however, because funders and publishers are increasingly requiring ORCIDs with proposal or manuscript submission. We suggest you keep your ORCID account and, if necessary, make your record private. (See "How do I set access controls?"
IMPORTANT: If you choose to close your ORCID account, you will not be able to register for a new ORCID ID. You can, however, reopen your closed account. See FAQ about Closing an ORCID Account for details.
26. How do I designate a trusted individual to enter information into my ORCID record for me?
You can designate trusted individuals to enter information into your ORCID record, and remove trusted individuals from your ORCID account.
To designate a trusted individual on an ORCID account, both the researcher and the trusted individual must have an ORCID ID. Please use the University Libraries' web application at https://orcid.library.cmu.edu to get your ORCID IDs.
In the search box, enter the ORCID ID, e-mail address, or name of the person you want to make a trusted individual, then click search.
If you enter an email address or ORCID ID, a pop-up box will ask you to confirm adding that user as a trusted individual. Click Add. A user must have an ORCID iD before you can make them a trusted individual.
If you search for a trusted individual by name, a list of matching ORCID records will appear. Click the Add button next to the name of the person you want to make a trusted individual, or click on the name to display their ORCID record.
