iOS devices are tedious to use because of their extra tightened security constraints and also the less availability of officials apps on the iTunes & App store. What if you have loved a YouTube video so much that you want to download it? Well, you can always open the Safari browser and get it done; but what if you want to record these videos and then convert them to MP3 files on your iDevice so that you can listen to them later? Well, as a solution at your door step, a new app has been launched both for the Android and iOS devices in the name of Peggo iPhone App.
There are many reasons why one has to download Peggo on the iDevice. Apart from being the most sought YouTube to MP3 converter in the market today, there are no issues or complaints that are noticed from the users who have installed the Peggo iOS app and are amazingly handling it on the preferred iDevices to get hold of the audio files. If you're looking for android version then you can download peggo apk from our blog.
The extremely user friendly interface and the smooth navigation are the two explicit reasons why people are preferring the Peggo iOS app over the other MP3 converters.
The App has the quintessential ability to cut a particular part of the videos from YouTube and then convert them into MP3 files be it the simple audio files or the songs in a superior quality.
Apps these days claim to be rich in quality, but when we look at the output; the reality comes into the limelight. The sound gets distorted and there will be a lot of chaotic sounds embedded in between as we record the video from a portal. This is because the developers of such poor quality apps focus on the design and the decorative elements rather than focusing the sound quality.
Peggo unlike those apps have expertised developers with remarkable abilities have put the algorithms in practice to make the sound quality better and higher at the same time.
Usually, the file size gets lower when the conversion is done. But because of the customization offered during the conversion, you can enhance the file size by enhancing the quality to make it a better version. All you will be asked is either to copy past the URL of the YouTube video or to surf the database of YouTube to get the desired video. Peggo app download is available here for android and iOS.
Make sure that you have a consistent internet connection before you start downloading Peggo for iPhone as you don't want any choas in the middle. Launch the Safari browser on your iDevice for faster and safer download. If you want to use some other browser, you're equally welcome.
Copy paste the URL of this page in the address bar or open the official website of Peggo by entering https://peggo.tv and then wait for either of the sites to download. In case if you have opened this site, click on the below link to get directed to the website.
As Peggo is not available on the iTunes & App store, one has to download it from the website in order to get the file on the iDevice. Now, open an additional tab in the browser and search for the video that you want to convert into MP3.
Open the video and check if it is being played before you copy the URL of this video to get the authentic file. Once you're sure that the video is playing, copy the URL link and paste it in the blank field given for the URL in the official website of Peggo.
By doing this, you're allowing Peggo to detect the video file so that it gives you various downloading options to choose from. Select the option based on your net connectivity speed and bandwidth, file size and then download it with a single click. After downloading, the conversion takes place within minutes.
Once the download is done, again get back to the homepage of Peggo App and there you will come across a tab displaying the message that the downloading is done. Click on the file that you have downloaded from the notifications or by accessing the downloads of the browser and start playing it with a third party player.
As Peggo app for iOS does not have an inbuilt third party player, one has to have an MX Player like video player installed on the iDevice to play the recorded file. You can simply or else access the file manager in order to play the media. In case if you have any errors or issues while recording, downloading or converting the YouTube video, comment in the below section so that we can get back with a suitable solution in real-time.


Hey gang, travel has drained me of time (precious tiiiiime). I don't expect there will be a comic Monday. Sorry for the occasionally spotty updates of late, travel and illness are opposing me in equal measure.
Update 4/30: So I only just got home after visiting my dad for a week (he's sick, not getting into it), and apparently my tablet renders blacks much darker than other monitors. So what should have been a completely shadowed, non-visible, not-finished Theron-face showed up for everyone else. I've adjusted to art to match what I intended. Whoops.
oh,my,god. YOU CAN SEE *kinda* HIS MOUTH!
I'm going to bet that this scene is basically the reason for him getting gear-napped.
OH MY GOD!! It's very hard to see but… you can see his face!! His entire face!!
THIS IS LIKE SEEING KAKASHI'S MOUTH.
I had to angle my face to my monitor just right to see the mouth, but this is like… the best reveal ever.
Is Theron a … girl?
IT's new expac boy's and gal's. Theron is max AND gear is easy to come by.
HA The page got edited to be more solid black!
It did, see the note above.

Q: T-tests across multiple columns or tidy the data New to posting to Stack so apologies for any issues.
I'm learning to get more comfortable in R and currently looking at using broom/purr to run multiple stat tests at one time. An example of my current data looks like this:

Subject
PreScoreTestA
PostScoreTestA
PreScoreTestB
PostScoreTestB
PreScoreTestC
PostScoreTestC

1
30
40
6
8
12
10

2
15
12
9
13
7
7

3
20
22
11
12
9
10

But over many subjects and more tests. I want to do a dependent t-test to see scores changed over the course of a training program, but don't want to run a test for each score.
I've seen a couple examples of people using group by, nest, and map to run multiple t-tests, but their data was in a longer format
Is there a way to achieve the same goal while in a wide format? Or will I need to use pivot_longer to change the data.
Thanks in advance!
ETA had an edit here but was giving incorrect results and so have removed Still looking for some help on the arguments and same length
ETA Version 2
I did find a workaround using pairwise.t.test (code below). It gives the same p-values as doing t.test across individual assessments. I'm curious why it'd be working for pairwise.t.test but not t.test. Please let me know if anyone was any ideas!
    results <- testb %>%
     pivot_longer(-Subject,
                   names_to = c("time", "test"), values_to = "score",
                   names_pattern = "(Pre|Post)(.*)") %>%
     group_by(test) %>%
     nest() %>%
     mutate(ttests = map(.x=data, ~tidy(pairwise.t.test(.x$score, .x$time, paired = TRUE, p.adjust.method = "none")))) %>%
     unnest(ttests)

A: Yes, some pivoting is needed. Asssuming you have no directional hypotheses and you want to do a pre-post assessment for each test, this might be what you are looking for:
df <- as.data.frame(rbind(c(1,  30, 40, 6,  8,  12, 10),
                          c(2,  15, 12, 9,  13, 7,  7),
                          c(3,  20, 22, 11, 12, 9,  10)))

names(df) <- c("Subject",
               "PrePushup", "PostPushup",
               "PreRun",    "PostRun",
               "PreJump",   "PostJump")

df %>%
  pivot_longer(-Subject,
               names_to = c("time", "test"), values_to = "score",
               names_pattern = "(Pre|Post)(.*)") %>%
  group_by(test) %>%
  nest() %>%
  mutate(t_tests = map(data, ~t.test(score ~ time, data = .x, paired = TRUE))) %>%
  pull(t_tests) %>%
  purrr::set_names(c("Pushup", "Run", "Jump"))

$Pushup

    Paired t-test

data:  score by time
t = 0.79241, df = 2, p-value = 0.5112
alternative hypothesis: true difference in means is not equal to 0
95 percent confidence interval:
 -13.28958  19.28958
sample estimates:
mean of the differences
                      3

$Run

    Paired t-test

data:  score by time
t = 2.6458, df = 2, p-value = 0.1181
alternative hypothesis: true difference in means is not equal to 0
95 percent confidence interval:
 -1.461250  6.127916
sample estimates:
mean of the differences
               2.333333

$Jump

    Paired t-test

data:  score by time
t = -0.37796, df = 2, p-value = 0.7418
alternative hypothesis: true difference in means is not equal to 0
95 percent confidence interval:
 -4.127916  3.461250
sample estimates:
mean of the differences
             -0.3333333

A: Here is a try without pivoting into long format: This again was finished with the help of the incredible akrun! See here: How to apply t.test() to multiple pairs of columns after mutate across:
df %>%
  summarise(across(starts_with('PreScore'), ~  t.test(.,
                                                      get(str_replace(cur_column(), "^PreScore", "PostScore")))$p.value,
                   .names = "{.col}_TTest"))

  PreScoreTestA_TTest PreScoreTestB_TTest PreScoreTestC_TTest
1            0.767827            0.330604           0.8604162

The 1990s ushered in a new trend in the global music arena. Heavy Metal music, which had dominated the 1980s, faded away and the epic sound that's associated with rock music entered the scene. This transition provided a pathway for alternative music groups to achieve runaway success. As a result, many alternative rock songs started topping mainstream music charts. In light of this, here are the five top rock bands of the 90s.

Q: String Variables in XML In Python 3 you can insert string variables into a string like so:
print("Hi %s how are you?" % name)
How would you do the same thing in an XML string in a view? Something like:
<Response><Message>Hi %s how are you?</Message></Response> % name
Note that I'm doing this in a view (as a response to a Twilio request) rather than a template, so I can't simply insert a template variable.

A: Twilio developer evangelist here.
I do not recommend hardcoding XML responses as you can easily make mistakes. If you're using Python, then I recommend you use the Twilio Python module's TwiML creation utilities. Then you can do the string formatting with the text for the XML and let the library handle the elements. Like:
from twilio.twiml.messaging_response import Message, MessagingResponse

response = MessagingResponse()
text = "Hi %s how are you?" % name
response.message(text)

print(response)

Let me know if that helps at all.

Are there more ways to use tech in your business? Take a peek at the various ways to incorporate Box technology in your day-to-day operations.
When a guy from Google walked into Lawrence Jacobs' Box, CrossFit Park Ridge in Chicago, Illinois, Jacobs said he and his co-owner had been toying with the idea of a virtual tour already. For a little over $1,000 the tour was produced and put up on their website.
Ask members to share the virtual tour on their respective Facebook pages.
Sharing on the gym's own social media outlets.
Having teen athletes show their parents, most of which have never seen the inside of a CrossFit gym.
With a background in the information technology track, Jeff Rice said automation was one of the first things he and his wife looked into after opening Flower City CrossFit in Rochester, New York. They settled on Zen Planner for the back end and Wodify for workout tracking.
But, the Box soon transitioned to just using Zen Planner. Rice said he made that decision based on how the software functioned on the business-facing side. He explained it's key to have a system with reliable communication abilities, report access, etc. Those reports can do everything from helping with taxes to viewing trends in revenue streams.
"Information is power and the more you have access to information on your business, the more you can make the correct business decision and stay informed about what's happening in business," said Rice.
Kathy Childress, the CEO of CrossFit Maximus in Lexington, Kentucky, said it was about three years ago when they realized heart rate monitors would be beneficial to the new member. She took the gym's bootcamp and married it with the technology, forming the program ZONE.
Four TVs line the walls, so members can see their heart rate at any given time. Childress uses MYZONE and allows members to borrow monitors, although many end up purchasing their own. She said the biggest benefits of the heart rate monitors range from having quantifiable data showing increased fitness to simply being a better Coach.
Jacobs said they first purchased the InBody composition scanner for nutrition challenges. However, they have since made it part of their intake process and membership packages.
From the platform for email and communication to the gym's calendar, Rice said he uses various Google tools to run his business.
Google Calendar is used mainly to schedule who's coaching what class. By color-coding, Rice said it's easy for he and his wife to stay up-to-date on holes in the schedule.
Google Voice is another piece of technology Rice has implemented. He explained you can set up a phone number local to your area. Plus, if people leave a voicemail, Google Voice will translate the audio and text Rice a transcript of the message. He said the translations are pretty accurate, although sometimes there are kinks. But the benefit for a busy Affiliate outweighs the problems. "That way we have 24/7 coverage of our voicemail," he said.

Q: How to install different versions of same library in Debian? I'm trying to build an application (Visual Studio Code) from source on Debian. While trying to follow building instructions, Node-JS refused to install.
# apt-get install nodejs-dev
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 nodejs-dev : Depends: libssl-dev (>= 1.0.0g) but it is not going to be installed
              Depends: libc-ares-dev (>= 1.7.5) but it is not going to be installed

I've tried to install unmet dependencied one-by-one to find the problem source:
# apt-get install libssl-dev
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libssl-dev : Depends: libssl1.0.0 (= 1.0.1t-1+deb8u2) but 1.0.2d-1 is to be installed
              Recommends: libssl-doc but it is not going to be installed

A-and...
# apt-get install libssl1.0.0
libssl1.0.0 is already the newest version (1.0.2d-1).

There.
As I see, I have to install libssl1.0.0 (to install that NodeJS) while keeping libssl1.0.2d-1 (to avoid breaking any existing dependencies). How can I do it? And, most importantly, won't installing two versions of the same library introduce any errors?


Amazon plans to launch 3,236 satellites to build a network to provide global high-speed internet, reports GeekWire, which discovered filings with the International Telecommunications Union.
The initiative, code-named Project Kuiper, aims "to launch a constellation of low Earth orbit satellites that will provide low-latency, high-speed broadband connectivity to unserved and underserved communities around the world," an Amazon spokesperson told GeekWire in an emailed statement.
Amazon envisions Project Kuiper serving broadband internet to millions of people around the globe who lack basic internet access.
Providing internet to unserved areas of the world is also a goal of the Telecom Infra Project (TIP), which recently celebrated its third anniversary. Although TIP is exploring a variety of technologies to deliver internet, the group has not announced any initiatives involving satellites. Although TIP's founder Facebook has confirmed some satellite broadband interest.
For its part, Amazon has been dabbling in satellite. In November 2018 at its Amazon Re:invent conference, Amazon Web Services CEO Andy Jassy announced AWS Ground Station, a new service for customers to download data from satellites into AWS' cloud infrastructure. The company is leveraging its 19 existing AWS infrastructure regions and 57 availability zones. The new AWS Ground Station initially comprises a network of 12 ground station antennas located on the same grounds as AWS facilities.
Other companies are also working on projects to deliver internet from space. SpaceX has launched trials for its Starlink broadband project. And OneWeb launched its first six satellites in February.

syria alqaeda anti government forces
Arabi Souri- August 17, 2013 - Syria- 1 Comment
Syria: Al-Qaeda fighters represent the majority of the terrorists.
In a new interview, the political analyst Nasser al-Omari, a known political commentator and writer, said that the al-Qaeda-affiliated Takfiri terrorists who are fighting in Syria against the secular government of President Bashar al-Assad are now the centrepiece of all the anti-government forces on Syrian soil because the entire spectrum of the so-called (external) Syrian opposition is basically "fractured."
The political commentator and writer, Nasser al-Omari, said in his interview with Press TV on Friday, that what we have in Syria currently is the situation that the al-Qaeda elements are really "calling the shots in many, many places" in the Arab nation. Nasser al-Omari called the Syrian al-Qaeda offshoots (e.g. the Jabhat al-Nusra / al-Nusra Front) the centrepiece of anti-government forces in Syria.
The al-Qaeda fighters represent the majority of the anti-government fighters in Syria now also because of the actual divided and fractured spectrum of the so-called Syrian opposition abroad.
The political analyst Nasser al-Omari further said in his interview that all fractions of the so-called (external) Syrian opposition are "fractured", ranging from the so-called civilian opposition to the "relatively moderate anti-government forces."
Nasser al-Omari also stated that the ongoing efforts by the so-called Syrian opposition to distance itself from the Syrian al-Qaeda branch and the violent jihadist elements on Syrian soil are unlikely to be really effective due to the reason that more and more fighters and Islamists from al-Qaeda are actually pouring into Syria and the number of al-Qaeda thugs, who are fighting against the secular government in Damascus and conduct gruesome massacres and terrorist attacks against Syrian civilians, is still increasing.
At least, the units of the Syrian Arab army (SAA) still gain more ground in the battles against the foreign-backed terrorist groups as well as in the anti-terror fight against the al-Qaeda-linked jihadist groups on Syrian soil.
The units of the Syrian army were able to regain the control above several Syrian villages in the western province of Lattakia (Latakia) yesterday. In the clashses in the western part of the province of Lattakia (Latakia), the fighting troops of the Syrian army were even able to kill a so-called top militant commander (Walid Oweissi, Libyan nationality) as well as several other armed terrorists, including Tunisian and Qatari nationals.
The yesterday's clashes between the units of the Syrian army and the foreign-supported terrorist groups in the western province of the coastal area of Lattakia (Latakia) led to many losses on the side of the terrorists and the troops of the Syrian army were able to recapture several Syrian villages from the terrorist groups.
The Syrian soldiers regained the control above the villages of Abo Mekkeh, Karm Aramo, Tallet Habs al-Dam, Tallet al-Khudur, and Obeen in the western area of the province of Lattakia (Latakia).
Further, other units of the Syrian army have gained more ground in the battles against the foreign-backed terrorist forces in the strategically important Syrian city of Aleppo (Halab), the former important economic centre of Syria. Also in the countryside of Aleppo, the units of the Syrian Arab army (SAA) have conducted several successful military operations yesterday.

At the start of the Winter War, Finland brought up the matter of the Soviet invasion before the League of Nations.
The League expelled the Soviet Union on 14 December 1939 and exhorted its members to aid Finland.
At the beginning of the war, total victory over Finland was expected within a few weeks. The Red Army had just finished the invasion of eastern Poland at a cost of less than a thousand casualties. Stalin's expectations of a quick Soviet triumph were backed up by the politician Andrei Zhdanov and military strategist Kliment Voroshilov, but other generals had their doubts. The chief of staff of the Red Army, Boris Shaposhnikov, advocated a serious buildup, extensive logistical and fire support preparations, and a rational order of battle, deploying the army's best units. Zhdanov's military commander Kirill Meretskov reported at the start of the hostilities: "The terrain of coming operations is split by lakes, rivers, swamps, and is almost entirely covered by forests... The proper use of our forces will be difficult." However, these doubts were not reflected in his troop deployments. Meretskov announced publicly that the Finnish campaign would take at the most two weeks. Soviet soldiers had even been warned not to cross the border into Sweden by mistake.
Stalin's purges decimated the officer corps of the Red Army; those purged included three of its five marshals, 220 of its 264 division-level commanders or higher, and 36,761 officers of all ranks. Fewer than half of the officers remained in total. They were commonly replaced by soldiers who were less competent but more loyal to their superiors. Furthermore unit commanders were superseded by a political commissar, who ratified military decisions on their political merits, further complicating the Soviet chain of command.
For the reasons set forth in the resolution of the Assembly, in virtue of Article 16, paragraph 4, of the Covenant, finds that, by its act, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics has placed itself outside the League of Nations. It follows that the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics is no longer a Member of the League.


Improved both in and outside, the original Bambino gets a facelift while keeping its timeless design elements intact! The famed Bambino just got better with hacking and hand-winding options thrown in and you'll be stunned with its current clean lines, creating a minimalistic yet elegant look. The iconic domed crystal and dial contributes generously to it, which plays off of any kind of semi/formal ensemble you might be putting up.
This is a very nice watch from the Orient Bambino collection. As always top notch service from creationwatches, easy ordering and hassle free shipping.
Fast shipping even with the normal registered airmail. Watch exactly as described, thank you!
Great watch and fast delivery. Great shopping experience.
Guys I have only one concern that is why the box was not delivered? I did not get the box .the watch is beautiful. Email mohammadsaadkhan490@gmail.com .
Undoubtedly a fantastic value for money dress watch. Elegant, understated and refined. It keeps good time too - what more can you ask for?
A really nice watch :-) and really good service! Thanks!!
This Bambino uses the newer F6724 which offers hacking (stops when you pull out the crown) and self-winding which sets it apart from the older Bambinos. The roman numerals on the rosegold look really classy and I can personally attest to why a lot of people consider this the best value dress watch on the market! And the shipping to Aus was super fast so was happy to get it within a few days.

East Kilbride FC
Scottish Cup: East Kilbride boss hopes win over Humphrey's Gretna can propel their season
Stuart Malcolm will face his former player in Saturday's second round tie at K-Park
Paul Thomson
Stuart Malcolm
Stuart Malcolm is hoping a Scottish Cup win over one of his former players can kick-start East Kilbride's faltering season.
Chris Humphrey – a title winner with Kilby last season – is now manager at Lowland League rivals Gretna and the Anvils come calling on Saturday looking to inflict more misery on Malcolm.
The defending Lowland League champions are 11 points off the pace in the title race, but Malcolm hopes a Scottish Cup run can help bring a change in fortunes for the club, who have won once in their last three outings.
As EK toil at the top end of the table, Gretna are battling it out at the bottom.
They prop up the Lowland League with two points from nine games and Malcolm admits both sides will be desperate to get a result.
The Kilby boss said: "We are in a sticky spell right now and so are Gretna, so on paper it looks like being a good contest.
"Both teams are looking for something to propel their season.
"I've not seen too much of Gretna, but from what I hear Chris is a very good coach.

"He'll have his own ideas and his own style and he'll be looking for a result as well."
Kilby, who eased past Easthouses Lily 4-0 in the South Challenge Cup at the weekend, enter the Scottish Cup at the second round stage thanks to their title win last season.
Gretna, meanwhile, edged past Hill of Beath 1-0 in round one.
Malcolm, who led EK to a fourth round tie with Inverness last season, added: "For us, Saturday is going to be a tougher game than Easthouses Lily.
"The challenge now is to find the same kind of performance against a higher level of opponent.
"We are needing a run of results and I still believe we can assert ourselves in the league. But this week is about the cup and we want a good run in that to give us the impetus going forward.
"It's taken us a while to get up to speed, but a good run of results can get us going."
Last week, Malcolm was given a vote of confidence by club owner Paul Kean, who backed him to turn things around.
Asked if he had be reassured by that statement, Malcolm said: "I didn't expect anything different.
"The club have backed me since I came in and, although it's been an indifferent start, we'll continue to work our socks off and push to make a difference for this club."

Easthouses Lily...0 East Kilbride...4
East Kilbride warmed up for Saturday's Scottish Cup clash with Gretna by thrashing Easthouses Lily in the South Challenge Cup.
Ruari Paton bagged a brace and Paul Woods and Kieran McGrath also got on the scoresheet as the holders eased into round four.
Paton got things going in the 31st minute, bending a free-kick into the top corner, before Woods fired home two minutes later.
EK extended their lead just moments into the second half when Woods turned provider for Paton to slot home Kilby's third of the day.
In 68 minutes BJ Coll picked out McGrath and he rifled the ball into the net to complete the scoring.

With the game in the bag, boss Malcolm introduced reserve players Stephen Docherty and Dylan Henry for their first team debuts. Both helped EK see out a comfortable win.
Boss Stuart Malcolm said: "A lot of credit has to go to the players. They listened to what I asked of them and at times we were very good.
"We dominated the game. It was a bit of a battle for the first 20 minutes, but after that it was a very promising performance.
"We scored a few goals and it could have been more. The most exceptional part was getting the clean sheet."

AMD as an Undervalued Stock
November 12, 2021 by admin2 0 Comments 746 Views
As of the close of 9th November, the stock price of Advanced Micro Devices Inc. sits at 148.92, falling by -0.83%. This price position is significantly attached to its recent news, which places it as having won a business with Meta, formerly Facebook. While promoting its recent win, it also announced that it would be releasing a new super chip which will become a major user for big names like Nvidia Corp.
Hello and welcome to my platform. In this blog post, we will be looking at Advanced Micro Devices Inc. or AMD and their recent rise in stock value. Remember that at all times, my review of any stock is a personal opinion and should be in no way a determinant for what you must do. Always do your due diligence before buying a stock. Please don't forget to like, share and subscribe to my platform if you are new. Making these blogs take a lot of time and effort and it's great for us to see your support.
It is a chip-making company with a market cap of 179.837 billion dollars. The billion-dollar company located in the USA has recently seen a rise in price value after winning a contract with Meta. This rise in value was placed as the top gaining stock in The S&P 500 list for Monday 8th November. The company is run with Lisa Su as the CEO. Since her reign in 2014, she has made it a goal to grow the company into a formidable force against competitors in the national and international market.
With that goal, she has been able to successfully increase the company's market share to what it is today. The success, however, is greatly attributed to the three-year revenue per share growth of 13.6%. This is alongside its three year Ebitda per share growth rate of 71.6%
Its product in the market
In a competitive market like semiconductor microchips, AMD is faced with giants like Marvell Tech, Synopsys, NVIDIA and Intel. However, their struggle for a position has been though they have managed to surpass a big named company like Intel in the industry. The AMD chips are faster. The Ryzen 5000 chips were a big hit, earning them a 25% greater market share. The company is also set to launch its CPU later this year. The CPU is said to have a 3-D V Cache. This chip is predicted to cause a significant market performance change of up to 15%.
Its competition and present stance
AMD has seen a lot of positive growth, and its products have made a significant market change. However, its battle for a place among the best has been shaky. Even after the launch of their Ryzen 5000 chips that made a significant impact on their growth, it didn't last very long before Intel, its biggest rival, won back the spot with its Alder Lake Series.
Both companies have shown their advantages and weaknesses, and for customers, it is more of a race to get the next best feature to be thrown in by these two competitors. Although there has been a lot of back and forth with AMD, it has shown its ability as an innovative company. And when you compare its research and development budget to other companies, you only wonder how much better they could go if they had more financing.
And to show more of how fearless the company is, they have recently announced their interest to take on the biggest brand in the CPU market, Nvidia. Its latest MI200 chip, an accelerator made to improve machine learning and AI speed, will be a major competitor for Nvidia's A100 chip. If truly this chip sets itself on the same standard as that of Nvidia, then we can only expect a massive change in the market values. It will undoubtedly place AMD in a far greater position than it presently sits.
One thing is certain; the innovation and persistence in growth for the company are building a niche for them with no limitations and a lot of surprises. This, of course, is what every investor wants.
AMD has made several partnerships, from small partnerships like the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee using their new chip in a Frontier supercomputing system to bigger deals. Its biggest win and a major defeat of Intel came on Monday when they won Meta as a data centre chip customer.
With Meta in its new line to join companies like Alphabet, Google, Amazon, and Microsoft, AMD is fast building a list of powerful partners. With this new deal with Meta, AMD will assist in growing the ecosystem of semiconductors in the states.
Company valuation
AMD has shown itself as a market worthy company with growth rates at an impressive margin. In the next few years, many investors and analysts are sure that AMD will have a prominent position among the top ranking in their industry. Within just a few years, they have gone to the stage of a neck to neck battle with Intel, and at this point, they are looking to begin a similar situation with a top company like Nvidia. Beyond this, the company is vastly diversifying into the cloud industry and AI.
These are all very good growth for them as a company. But even with all this, the company still has a price to earnings ratio of 46.88. This is very low when compared to a competitor like Nvidia, which sits at 110.10. Its present trade is also well below its median historical average of 60.96. So if they had not established the newest partnership, AMD would be ranked as an undervalued company. In terms of overall company valuation, its growth rate should offer as much as a 31% in revenue increase in the next few years. This is notably higher than Nvidia's expected revenue growth of 28%.
With so much to see and expect from AMD, it is, without doubt, a company worth investing in. Its stock should see a significant rise in the next few months and would make a great hold for now. Although presently undervalued, the popularity of its innovation and its very recent challenge towards Nvidia's product should drive in greater investor interest and an overall greater market cap. Thank you for following us through our review of AMD. You can also check out my previous blog such as "Investing for Beginners – The Stock Market vs Real Estate".

Terrance Coffie, who earned his BS from NYU Silver in May 2016 and his MSW from the School in May 2017 is now in the process of producing a documentary entitled "Caged Roses" about juvenile justice in America today. According to Coffie, "The title speaks to the experience of young men and women who have great potential but are caged by our juvenile justice system, whether they are literally incarcerated or metaphorically confined because of racism, poverty, lack of opportunity, and other factors that restrict their ability to grow."
Coffie himself spent years in and out of the prison system before finding the re-entry supports he needed from The Doe Fund, a nonprofit organization that helps men with histories of homelessness, incarceration, poverty, and substance abuse rebuild their lives. After graduating from the Doe Fund's Ready, Willing & Able program, he went on to earn his Associates Degree from Bronx Community College and then to enroll at NYU. Last year, he founded the non-profit organization Educate Don't Incarcerate (EDI), which commissioned the documentary to advance its mission of combating mass incarceration through educational opportunities, mentoring and policy reform.
Coffie and EDI have partnered on the documentary with the Midtown South Community Council, a nonprofit devoted to building better neighborhoods and stronger relationships within Midtown South in Manhattan, and Michelle Alexander, the highly acclaimed civil rights lawyer, advocate and legal scholar whose book The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness exposed the deliberate structural racism underpinning America's criminal and juvenile justice systems.
Coffie said he was inspired to make the documentary while planning an exhibit at NYU Silver this past winter of art by justice-involved youth in programs run by the nonprofit Artistic Noise and Columbia University's Justice in Education Initiative. "I was so moved by their work. These were children who sought their own way out of incredibly difficult conditions and were criminalized as a result, without society addressing the underlying issues – the causation as we say at the Silver School. I wanted to shed light on the juvenile justice system and how it affects our kids."
There is substantial research, Coffie said, that shows young people who have contact with the juvenile justice system have worse outcomes than those who do not. "They are less likely to finish high school and be productive members of society and they have increased probability of criminality in their lives. Moreover, it is well established that racial disparities pervade the juvenile justice system, with youth of color vastly overrepresented and treated more harshly at every point in the continuum."
The documentary will share the stories of five young people ages 15 to 19 who have been involved with the juvenile justice system and will include interviews with a wide range of experts, Coffie said. "We have interviewed service providers and advocates from organizations like Artistic Noise and Center for Alternative Sentencing and Employment Services (CASES) as well as academics including NYU Silver's Dr. Robert L. Hawkins, Dr. Kirk A. James and Dr. Linda Lausell Bryant, who have tremendous insights on the juvenile justice system and its effect on children in terms of trauma and outcomes."
Interviewing Ms. Alexander was a highlight of the project so far, said Coffie. "The historical line she has drawn from slavery to the Black Codes to Jim Crow laws to mass incarceration applies to juvenile justice well as the adult system. It was very important to me to have her voice as part of this and I am extremely honored that she participated."
He continued that one of the things Ms. Alexander helped him understand is that Alternatives to Incarceration (ATI) programs, while often beneficial, are a form of social control and not true reform. "In her book, she explained that slaves could be given a pass to leave the plantation but they still were not free. Likewise youth in ATI programs do not have free will. While I support ATI as an interim measure, our greater concern should be why are children of color being funneled into these programs in the first place? Why are these kids being disproportionately arrested and policed in their communities? We can put them in ATI and think 'well, we didn't actually incarcerate them,' but they are still being monitored by the system. It maintains and perpetuates the cycle of social control in these kids' lives."
What young people of color need, Coffie said, are not ATI or prevention programs but opportunities. "We don't call activities like arts, culture and sports programming 'prevention' when we offer them in privileged communities, and we don't mandate that everyone take part. Too often if kids of color do have access to that kind of programming, it comes with strings – 'you must participate or else.'"
According to Coffie, filming for the documentary is completed and he is now focused on editing. "We hope to have the film ready for release in 2018 but we want to take time to get a clear and concise message. We want the film to give voice to the incarcerated kids who have screamed and not been heard and to the social justice advocates working in the field, in order to inspire real reform in the country's broken system. I want viewers to see our black and brown children not as criminals but as children, and for our policy makers to allocate resources so that all children have equal opportunities."


As some of you may have realized, I haven't been in the forums for quite sometimes. I'm back but I won't be very active, so I resign. You guys probably knocked me off the list already but I just wanted to make it official.
I decided not to buy WoW so that's the main reason why I resigned.


The developers of the 0x protocol, an open-source standard and specification for "facilitating low friction peer-to-peer (P2P) exchange" of crypto tokens on the Ethereum blockchain, have released a draft for ZEIP-31.
MMs who may not "own sufficient ZRX" to "collect liquidity rewards" will have the option to set up a ZRX staking pool for "third-party delegators." Prior to finalizing the implementation details of the changes proposed for the 0x protocol, there will be a community discussion which may help "gauge sentiment." Moreover, smart contracts required for activating or using modifications associated with ZEIP-31 must be developed and audited.
The team supporting ZEIP-31 is planning to activate changes in the proposal, called 0x protocol v3.0, at some point during Q3 2019.
As mentioned in Warren's blog, the "next generation of blockchains," including the upgraded Ethereum 2.0 blockchain, will be implemented by using sophisticated "cryptographic proof systems, WebAssembly virtual machines, and cross-blockchain communication" (blockchain interoperability).
In order to achieve these objectives, ZEIP-31 has been created to help improve the existing 0x ecosystem and help it move towards a path that "becomes community owned and operated." As distributed ledger technology (DLT)-based systems continue to evolve, this "early community of users and supporters may be the single thread that links our current system of Ethereum smart contracts to whatever system or network we end up calling 0x in the future," Warren noted.

- Interoperability and accessibility. These are no small issues; whether you develop a policy regulating the devices that connect to your network or not, employees and clients are used to certain tools. With so many connected devices coming and going, accounting for these preferences is a significant challenge. For example, you must address protocol issues, bandwidth restrictions, security, updates, and more.
- Shadow IT. This is another issue related to devices employees bring to work. Even with your new tool, workers may still try to use collaboration platforms they prefer. Shadow IT refers to the compliance and safety risks this behavior raises. For example, if your legal team if working on a case on an internal video platform and a junior attorney sends a document through an unapproved app, you could face some unpleasant litigation of your own.
- Security. This is an issue for any enterprise, but those in the financial or medical fields must ensure their systems meet industry regulations. While you must consider hackers, identity thieves, and distributed denial of service (DDOS) attacks, individuals who have access to the network present the biggest risk—whether they deliberately ignore security protocols or connect an unsafe device to the network.
- Compliance. Speaking of security, certain industries must comply with federally mandated usability and data sharing standards. For example, the health care industry is required to follow Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) standards, which regulate data sharing and the handling and storage of private patient information. This is also an issue for those in the legal field or any industry that must be mindful of confidential or nondisclosure agreements. The enterprise, its workers, clients, and vendors—anyone else connected to the network—must adhere to these strict guidelines.
There are plenty of other challenges an organization must address before it launches a videoconferencing adoption strategy. If you tackle these problems head on, everyone involved can seamlessly collaborate.

Gentlemen`s Agreement Japan 1907
In 1908, Canadian Labour Minister Rodolphe Lemieux negotiated with Japanese Foreign Minister Tadasu Hayashi an agreement limiting Japanese immigration to Canada. In accordance with the gentlemen`s agreement, the Japanese government has agreed to voluntarily limit the number of Japanese immigrants arriving in Canada each year. Although the agreement limited the number of adult men who could enter Canada, it did not contain any restrictions on the wives of Japanese immigrants. After the introduction of the quota, a large number of Japanese women began to migrate to Canada as "image brides." Japanese men in Canada would choose brides based on photos sent by relatives to Japan. After registering her marriage in Japan, the bride was granted a passport to Canada. The arrival of more Japanese women facilitated a natural increase in Canada`s Japanese population. [7] Concessions were agreed in a note that, a year later, consisted of six points. The agreement was followed by the admission of Japanese students to public schools. The adoption of the 1907 agreement spurred the arrival of "image marriages," women who were closed remotely by photos. [11] The creation of distant marital ties allowed women who wanted to emigrate to the United States to obtain a passport, and Japanese workers in America were able to earn a partner of their own nationality.
[11] As a result of this provision, which helped to reduce the gender gap in the Community, from a ratio of 7 men per woman in 1910 to less than 2 to 1 in 1920, japan`s population continued to grow despite the immigration restrictions imposed by the agreement. The gentlemen`s agreement was never enshrined in a law passed by the U.S. Congress, but it was an informal agreement between the United States and Japan, which was implemented by unilateral action by President Roosevelt. It was repealed by the Immigration Act of 1924, which prohibits all Asians from immigrating to the United States. [12] President Roosevelt had three objectives to resolve the situation: to show Japan that California`s policy did not reflect the ideals of the entire country to force San Francisco to eliminate the policy of segregation and to find a solution to the problem of Japanese immigration. Victor Metcalf, Minister of Trade and Labour, was sent to investigate the problem and force the repeal of the policy. He did not succeed because local officials wanted Japanese exclusion. Roosevelt tried to put pressure on the school`s management, but it won`t give way. On February 15, 1907, the parties reached a compromise.
If Roosevelt could ensure the suspension of Japanese immigration, the school board would allow Japanese-American students to attend public schools. The Japanese government did not want to harm its national pride or suffer humiliations, as the Qing government in China in 1882 by the Chinese exclusion law. The Japanese government has agreed to refrain from granting passports to workers attempting to enter the United States, unless such workers come to occupy a house formerly acquired to join a relative; The spouse or take active control of a pre-acquired farm. [10] The 1907 Gentlemen`s Agreement (紳協) was an informal agreement between the United States of America and the Empire of Japan, under which the United States would not allow restrictions on Japanese immigration and Japan would not allow emigration to the United States. The aim was to ease tensions between the two Pacific states. The agreement was never ratified by the U.S. Congress and was replaced by the Immigration Act of 1924.

The Schroth Family
It is very important that we share with you the history and work of the Schroth Family. The Schroth Method is a physiotherapeutic technique used to help people with scoliosis and Scheuermann's Disease, that includes specific postural correction, breathing pattern correction and postural perception correction. The technique has been practiced and further developed over three generations. We use the Schroth Method in our practice to help clients with minimal to severe scoliosis reduce or eliminate pain, improve functional ability and gain independence in managing the potential manifestations of scoliosis and Scheuermann's Disease.
"The intrinsic growth energy inborn in every living plant, animal, or human strives to create the harmonious form predestined for its every bodily organ, body part, and finally complete body"
— - Katharina Schroth, author of the New Breathing Orthopaedic System; quote from article by Schroth, "Dangers in the treatment of scoliotic curves", 1929
Katharina Schroth was born in Germany in 1894. As a child she developed a scoliosis and she suffered mentally because of her deformity and the requirement to wear a brace. She wanted to move freely, and the brace hindered her abilities. Through her own wonderment and perseverance, she was inspired by a partially deflated rubber ball. She used the concept of inflating the ball to create a full, round shape, to "inflate" the concave side of her body. She began to practice between mirrors directing her breathing into various areas of her ribcage, and she came to realize that her ribcage was actually rotated, and could be brought back to a normal position! Through many experiments and realizations, she came to develop the concept of "rotational breathing". She continued to discover the relationships of segments of the trunk and their rotations upon each other.
As years went by, Katharina Schroth became widely known in her ability to help people with scoliosis. By the 1960's she had gained recognition from the medical community and German government. In 1961, she founded her own clinic where she was very successful in helping people with scoliosis significantly improve their function and quality of life. Patients would stay at the clinic for 6 weeks to 6+ months depending on the severity of their scoliosis.
Katharina Schroth's daughter, Christa Lehnert-Schroth, a physiotherapist, practiced with her mother at the Asklepios Katharina Schroth Klinik Bad Sobernheim for many years, and the treatment facility is still in use today. The son of Christa Lehnert-Schroth, Hans-Rudolf Weiss, is a physician in Germany, and he has developed an abbreviated version of the Schroth practice.
Some publications regarding the Schroth Method are:
Schroth Therapy: Advancements in Conservative Scoliosis Treatment, by Hans-Rudolf Weiss, M.D., Christa Lehnert-Schroth, P.T., Marc Moramarco, D.C.. Copyright 2015.
Three-Dimensional Treatment for Scoliosis: A Physiotherapeutic Method for Deformities of the Spine, by Christa Lehnert-Schroth, P.T.

We are delighted to be able to offer a wide range of additional activities at lunchtimes and after school. These activities change each term because we try to provide a variety of opportunities for children to widen and deepen their experience of sport, creativity and other activities. The clubs are open to all children within the age groups. Some of the clubs are run by school staff and others are led by governors or outside providers.
Further details are in a letter available from the school office.
