MBA or master of business administration is the type of postgraduate course chosen by graduates and young professionals interested in a career as a manager. It is in fact a program of specialization for boys and girls, men and women who are already working and who want to give their career a managerial growth. MBA programs require to their students a previous job experience after graduation, bachelor's or master's degree. This path aims mainly to transfer to students skills related to the management of human resources, leadership and strategic vision, essential for anyone who seeks to roles as an entrepreneur, CEO, business executive. The MBA courses are expensive and often funded directly by companies that want to reorganize their structure and therefore require that managers, executives and officials have the right knowledge and skills.

Alfred Fessard, né le  dans le  arrondissement de Paris et mort le  à Suresnes (Hauts-de-Seine), est un neurophysiologiste français et l'un des fondateurs des neurosciences en France.

Biographie

Formation et début de carrière

Alfred Fessard est le fils d'un couple de papetiers.

Il commence ses études à l'école normale d'instituteurs de la Seine.

Après la première Guerre mondiale, il prépare une licence de physique à la Sorbonne où il suit l'enseignement de Louis Lapicque (1866-1952) et de Paul Portier (1866-1962). il est ensuite  l'élève d'Henri Piéron (1881-1964) en psychologie.

Il est également introduit par le psychologue Jean-Maurice Lahy dans le laboratoire de physiologie appliquée à la prophylaxie et à la santé mentale de l'EPHE dirigé par Édouard Toulouse à l'hôpital Henri-Rousselle .

Il y travaille sous la direction de Henri Laugier sur l'analyse statistique des tests psychologiques d'orientation professionnelle, mais aussi sur des questions d'électrophysiologie et de neurologie.

En 1927, il devient assistant de laboratoire d'Henri Piéron à l'EPHE et commence à travailler avec Daniel Auger, autre élève de Lapicque, sur les cellules d'algues unicellulaires géantes, et sur l'excitabilité des tissus nerveux et musculaires, tant au laboratoire de l'EPHE qu'à la station de biologie marine de Tamaris où il collabore aussi avec Angélique Arvanitaki, sur l'étude des nerfs du crabe .

C'est à cette période qu'il commence à travailler sur la torpille.

Il présente sa thèse de doctorat ès Sciences naturelles Recherches sur l'activité rythmique des nerfs isolés en 1936.

Directeur d'un centre de recherche

En 1940, il crée son propre laboratoire de neurophysiologie générale à l'Institut Marey du Parc des Princes, qui devient en 1947 une composante du CNRS, le centre pour l'étude de la physiologie nerveuse et de l'électrophysiologie de renommée internationale et où viennent travailler Ladislav Tauc et JacSue Kehoe.

En 1950, il accède à la chaire de neurophysiologie générale du collège de France.

Il est élu à l'Académie nationale de médecine en 1959 et à l'Académie des sciences le , dans la section Biologie animale et végétale.

Your intuition will be on point today, so listen to your inner wisdom, because your consciousness will guide you.
Energetic Leo will persuade others to do things they would usually be reluctant doing, and when the person(s) do it, they will love it.
As long as you are conscious of your surroundings, and pay attention to the people in your space unexpected occurrences will not stumble you, but will strengthen you.
Speak up. You're very, very good at that. So don't hold back, but do be sure not to use vulgarity and words that hurt. You can get your point across without being crass.
Courage will be your guide today. Go forth and be bold.

followed up that score with an 85 yd interception return courtesy of Jordan Wyatt and the Mustangs never looked back at that point as they amassed a 35 – 0 lead with 12:55 left in the 2nd quarter.
With 2 defensive touchdowns and 165 rushing yards by halftime, SMU had a stranglehold on this game. SFA simply missed tackle after tackle, couldn't stop the run and gave up too many big plays against SMU. SMU's Trey Quinn broke 4 tackles (his last broken tackle being an emphatic stiff arm) enroute to put the proverbial nail in the coffin with his 35 yard TD reception, which put SMU up 44-6 early in the 3rd quarter.
SMU finished the 2016 season with a 5-7 record — a solid season considering their senior qb Matt Davis was lost for the season during their opener against UNT. Expectations for the Mustangs this season seem to be bowl-game-or-bust. After handedly winning a game they were supposed to win, they seem to be off to a good start.

Every five years, local health departments are required by the State of Wisconsin to assess the health of their community in order to improve upon it. This process is called the Community Health Improvement Process. The community health assessment helps to identify and measure health problems in the community through data collection and analysis and input from community stakeholders and members. Following the community health assessment, a community health improvement plan is developed. The community health improvement plan is based off the twelve health priorities identified in Healthiest Wisconsin 2020.
As a new initiative, Forest, Oneida and Vilas County Health Departments are working together with Ministry Health Care (Ministry Eagle River Memorial Hospital, Ministry Saint Mary's Hospital and Howard Young Medical Center) to complete this process. This was done as an effort to create a larger collective impact since many of the same community agencies and organizations serve populations in each of the three counties.
Forest, Oneida and Vilas counties have worked together to develop the 2017 Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP). This is accomplished by assessing the needs of our communities as a whole, and developing a plan to address those needs.
Please view this video to learn more about what we are doing and what you can do to help build a healthy community!

Carlos Boozer is in one heck of a good mood. On the hardwood, his Duke Blue Devils look like potentially the best team in college basketball, boasting a collection of top-line talent that few teams can match. They had to survive a scare against UCF in the second round of the 2019 NCAA Tournament, but for now, Zion Williamson and company are still in a position to join Boozer's 2001 squad as Duke teams that secured national championships.
When Dime spoke to Boozer on Thursday, his good vibes were heightened by the fact that he was making his way to Opening Day in the Bronx, where his beloved New York Yankees would go on to beat the Baltimore Orioles, 7-2. If he has his way, the start of April and the start of November will end the exact same way: With his teams winning titles.
Boozer himself is in the mood to win a championship through Captain Morgan via its Captain's Pose-Off Bracket Challenge. He's among the eight-person field in a competition to do exactly what it sounds like he's tasked with doing — show off your best Captain Morgan pose and potentially advance through the bracket and be crowned the winner at the Final Four in Minneapolis.
Before his Pose-Off matchup with former Virginia Tech coach and current ESPN analyst Seth Greenberg begins on Saturday, Boozer chatted with Dime about Duke, his favorite NBA players to watch right now, and how he never rented out his house in Los Angeles again after letting Prince stay there.
What do you have going on with Captain Morgan?
I'm teaming up with Captain Morgan to compete in the Captain's Pose-Off Bracket Challenge. Basically what it is, it's just like bracketology, man. I'm in the first round. I matched up with Seth Greenberg, someone obviously I admire and look up to and someone who has a great creative mind. I haven't seen his pose yet, but I'm getting some ideas for my pose. I'm more matched up and fans can vote on Twitter and then go to Captain Morgan US and vote there, and also on my Twitter page, @mistercbooz, to vote as well.
I gotta ask you a few Duke questions. In your estimation, what is it about this team that just makes it so special?
Yeah, I mean obviously, I was just saying earlier, I think we're so explosive. Obviously with Zion, Cam, and R.J., they're just another level, especially being 18 years old. One of the things I'm most impressed with, with this team, is how poised they are under pressure. Every close game that we've had, they've handled it very well. The ones that we lost, we've learned from that experience for the next time around. Obviously missing Zion those few games when he was recovering from injury, the team had to figure out how to survive the battle, which made some other guys step up and play strong, which is going to help us in the tournament as well.
So going into the Sweet Sixteen I feel like all the close games that we've [had], including the last round, is going to help us to prevail. They're very explosive, but I'm very impressed by how poised they are under pressure. Zion makes a lot of plays. R.J. makes a lot of plays. Cam does as well. And then sitting back there on the sidelines, Coach K seemingly in every situation can get these guys prepared for what they're about to face.

Un vampir és un personatge mitològic, un monstre que "sobreviu" xuclant la sang d'humà o animal, més sovint dels humans; és un paràsit amb forma humana. Sovint té la capacitat de transformar-se en altres formes, sobretot la de ratpenat. Una persona es transforma en vampir quan n'és mossegada per un, i llavors viu una segona existència (usualment nocturna), que pot ser eterna si no se'l mata. En molts ritus religiosos antics està associat al dimoni. Per als estudiosos, els vampirs són un arquetip que compleixen la funció de desafiar la mortalitat i per això estan presents en moltes cultures. La ciència actual ha intentat explicar els fenòmens associats tradicionalment als vampirs amb al·lusions a plagues, animals i malalties. Tanmateix, l'origen és una manca de comprensió del fenomen de descomposició dels cossos morts, sumat a diverses creences paganes i cristianes.

El vampir carismàtic i sofisticat de la ficció moderna va néixer l'any 1819 amb la publicació dEl vampir (The Vampyre) de l'escriptor anglès John Polidori; la història va tenir un gran èxit sent, sens dubte, l'obra de vampirs més influent de principis del . La novel·la de Bram Stoker de 1897 Dràcula es recorda com la novel·la de vampirs per excel·lència i va proporcionar la base de la llegenda moderna dels vampirs, tot i que va ser publicada després que la novel·la de 1872 Carmilla de l'autor irlandès Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu. L'èxit d'aquest llibre va generar un gènere de vampirs característic, encara popular al , amb llibres, pel·lícules, programes de televisió i videojocs. Des de llavors, el vampir s'ha convertit en una figura dominant en el gènere del terror.

Etimologia
Va arribar al català procedent del francès vampire (d'on passà a les altres llengües romàniques), i aquest, de l'alemany Vampir, pres de l'hongarès vampir, comú amb el serbocroat vampir i amb parònims en altres llengües eslaves que podrien remuntar al turc uber 'bruixa'. La primera font coneguda en francès data de 1864.

Història

Edat antiga

Durant molts segles, s'han trobat històries d'éssers sobrenaturals que consumeixen la sang o la carn dels vius a gairebé totes les cultures del món. El terme vampir no existia en l'antiguitat. Alimentar-se de sang i activitats similars s'atribuïen a dimonis o esperits que menjaven carn i bevien sang; fins i tot el dimoni es considerava sinònim de vampir. Gairebé totes les cultures associen beure sang amb algun tipus de revenant o dimoni, o en alguns casos una deïtat. A l'Índia s'han recopilat contes de vetāles, éssers macabres que habiten en cadàvers, al Baitāl Pacīsī; una història destacada al Kathāsaritsāgara parla del rei Vikramāditya i les seves missions nocturnes per capturar-ne un. Piśāca, els esperits retornats dels malfactors o els que van morir bojos, també tenen atributs vampírics.

L'Perses va ser una de les primeres civilitzacions que va tenir històries de dimonis bevents de sang: criatures que intentaven beure sang dels homes estaven representades en fragments de ceràmica excavats. L'antiga Babilònia i Assíria tenien històries de la mítica Lilitu, sinònim de i donant lloc a Lilit (hebreu לילית) i les seves filles les Lilu de la demonologia hebrea. Lilitu era considerada un dimoni i sovint es representava com subsistent de la sang dels nadons, i es deia que les estries, dimonis femenins que canvien de forma i bevedors de sang, deambulen durant la nit entre la població, buscant víctimes. Segons Sefer Hasidim, les estries eren criatures creades a les hores del crepuscle abans del descans de Dèu. Una estrie ferida es podia curar menjant pa i sal que li donava el seu atacant.

Diverses criatures de la mitologia grega poden identificar-se amb els vampirs. L'empusa és un espectre nocturn que beu sang humana, tal com feia la làmia amb els nens petits. L'estirge incorporava ales semblants a la dels ratpenats i va acabar evolucionant en les gàrgoles medievals. A l'Odissea d'Homer, apareixen ombres que es nodreixen de la sang dels sacrificis rituals. De fet, és una creença estesa en moltes religions que els déus estimen la sang vessada per ells.

Edat mitjana
Al  apareix el recull de contes Kathāsaritsāgara (Oceà de contes i llegendes) on un personatge afí al vampir es fica dins dels cossos després de xuclar-los la sang fins que és caçat pel rei. Sembla que aquesta figura estaria inspirada en els pishatxa, uns dimonis caníbals hinduistes.

Els pobles eslaus van començar a creure en vampirs com a cossos incorruptes que es negaven a morir del tot. Les causes podien ser mossegades de determinats animals, com escorpins, o l'excomunió, que no deixava l'ànima en pau en l'altra vida. Usaven la creu i l'estaca com a armes contra ells. Les seves aparicions estaven marcades per desaparicions de ramat durant la nit. Els eslaus creuen que un bon exorcisme o cremar el cos del vampir el pot fer morir de manera definitiva.

Edat moderna
En el Renaixement va sorgir la història de Vlad Tepes, un rei romanès que després seria assimilat a Dràcula. Aquest noble sanguinari empalava els seus enemics. Des d'aleshores, la regió de Transsilvània és el bressol dels vampirs. S'ha de dir que la historicitat dels fets és molt discutida i, fins i tot, el comte Dràcula autèntic podria haver estat el fill d'aquest Vlad Tepes. La regió, però, ja estava plena de llegendes vampíriques abans de Vlad Tepes. Els romanesos obrien les tombes uns anys després dels enterraments per comprovar que el cadàver hi fos i, per tant, no s'hagués convertit en un vampir. El dia més actiu de l'any per als vampirs era el 22 d'abril.

Elisabet Bathory, anomenada la comtessa de la sang, va contribuir a l'expansió d'aquestes llegendes, ja que es deia que es banyava en sang per mantenir-se sempre jove i que realitzava rituals vampírics amb donzelles del seu castell.

A l'Índia, el vampir està relacionat amb la dea Kali, que també reclama sang per continuar vivint. Una transformació de la seva figura en la "dea negra" anomenada Sara perviu entre els gitanos d'arreu del món. Creuen que qualsevol criatura pot transformar-se en vampir, fins i tot les plantes. Són dels pocs pobles que creuen que els vampirs poden barrejar-se amb la gent normal i tenir fills, criatures molts poderoses que sovint són els únics que poden matar els seus pares. Una vampiressa que es casa amb un home l'esgota en l'acte sexual fins a la mort.

Al  , es produeix un auge en la creença en els vampirs, i els associen a les morts sense resoldre i a les desaparicions. Molts contes infantils de terror s'omplen d'aquests personatges que arriben volant de nit per atacar les seves víctimes indefenses. La Inquisició s'ocupà també d'ells, declarant-los criatures demoníaques (és per això que es creia que retrocedien davant la creu). Algunes investigacions relacionen els presumptes morts per vampirisme amb una epidèmia de ràbia (fet que explicaria la violència dels afectats i la poca tolerància a les olors fortes com l'all). Es creu que van prendre el relleu dels judicis de bruixeria dels segles anteriors. Augustin Calmet dins el seu llibre Traité sur les apparitions efectuà un recull de casos reals i de llegendes orientals.

Època contemporània
En el romanticisme, els escriptors admiraven els vampirs com a éssers allunyats de la societat, condemnats a viure eternament. Eren individus de poder i luxúria, que volien deixar aquest món o tornar a viure de dia. Estaven lligats a l'aristocràcia; per això, se'ls representa amb capes de vellut llargues, robes elegants i vivint en castells. Acostumen a ser estrangers per a augmentar el seu exotisme.

L'obra de Bram Stoker es considera el cim literari pel que fa als vampirs. El llibre ha estat adaptat en nombroses ocasions al cinema i constitueix la base de la imatge actual dels vampirs. El  és ple d'obres que recreen aquestes criatures, ara no necessàriament malèfiques. Hi ha un auge de les vampiresses. Així mateix, també cal destacar l'aportació de l'escriptora nord-americana Anne Rice a aquest gènere literari.

Krasue és un fantasma femení del folklore de l'Àsia Sud-oriental que xucla sang durant la nit.

Es diu que el chupacabras de Puerto Rico i Mèxic és una criatura que s'alimenta de la carn o beu la sang d'animals domèstics, fet que fa que alguns el considerin una mena de vampir.

Els vampirs s'han associat a assassins en sèrie, com els casos de Peter Kürten o Richard Chase a la dècada dels 20 i diversos criminals posteriors.

Característiques
Tot i que cada regió i autor té les seves característiques sobre què és i què no és un vampir, i malgrat el rebuig d'aquests trets populars per part de la literatura vampírica del , hi ha una sèrie de fets que es relacionen amb els vampirs:

 No es reflecteixen en els miralls ni tenen ombra, ja que no tenen ànima.
 Tenen por de la creu i de l'all, així com de l'aigua beneïda.
 Dormen en taüts i preferiblement a la seva terra natal.
 Poden ser assassinats si se'ls clava una estaca de fusta al mig del cor mentre dormen.
 No poden sobreviure amb la llum del sol.
 Volen augmentar la població dels vampirs amb mossegades als vius, ja que no poden tenir fills naturals.
 La sang fresca els ajuda a mantenir l'aparença de joventut amb el pas dels segles i a sobreviure, ja que és essencial per ell.
 Alguns dominen la màgia i determinats animals.
 Poden sortir volant transformats en ratpenats.
 Les bales de plata o la decapitació poden matar-los.
 No poden respirar, menjar, beure aigua o altres coses relacionades amb la vida.
 Els ullals els creixen amb la visió d'una víctima.
 Són grans depredadors.
 Són impecables contant coses, i no poden evitar-ho, fent-ho una manera d'entretenir-los.
 Tenen una necessitat imperiosa de deslligar qualsevol nus que troben.

Els vampirs catalans

El comte Estruc
El comte Estruc o Estruga fou un vampir, radicat, segons una llegenda molt moderna, al castell de Llers, a l'Alt Empordà, on també se suposa que hi havia bruixes, immortalitzades pel poeta Carles Fages de Climent. Segons una obra literària de principis dels 90, el comte seria un noble català del  que, un cop mort, hauria tornat a la vida en forma de vampir. Segons la llegenda, el comte seduïa les noies joves i les deixava embarassades. Al cap de nou mesos, aquestes dones parien petits monstres que morien només nàixer. Aquest horror va durar un temps fins que el monstre va ser trobat i mort per un ermità d'origen jueu que el va fer descansar en pau amb un sortilegi ancestral relacionat amb els rituals de la càbala.

La vampira del Raval
Enriqueta Martí i Ripoll, coneguda popularment com la vampira del carrer de Ponent, la vampira del Raval o la vampira de Barcelona fou una segrestadora i suposada assassina en sèrie catalana. Malgrat la tradició popular, investigacions actuals posen en dubte la suposada criminalitat d'Enriqueta i asseguren que en realitat era una persona amb trastorns mentals de la qual només es pot provar fefaentment el segrest d'una nena, Teresina Guitart.

Els dips
A Pratdip hi ha la llegenda dels Dips, gossos vampírics que haurien assolat la comarca i la figura dels quals apareix a l'escut de la població, així com en retaules de l'ermita dedicada a Santa Marina, la patrona local. Es creu que aquesta llegenda només pretenia fer por als borratxos del poble i evitar així que es dediquessin a beure més del compte.

Organitzacions d'estudi
Existeixen diverses organitzacions que estudien la literatura i el folklore dels vampirs, com la Transylvanian Society of Dracula. A nivell dels Països Catalans existeix el Cercle V des de l'any 2004.

Orígens de la creença en vampirs
S'han ofert moltes teories sobre els orígens de les creences dels vampirs i la histèria massiva relacionada. S'han citat com a causa de la creença en els vampirs des d'enterraments prematurs fins al desconeixement del cicle de la descomposició dels cossos després de la mort.

Patologies

Descomposició
L'autor Paul Barber va afirmar que la creença en els vampirs va ser el resultat de les persones de les societats preindustrials que intentaven explicar el procés natural, però inexplicable, de la mort i la descomposició. De vegades, la gent sospitava de vampirisme quan un cadàver no tenia l'aspecte que pensaven que hauria de tenir un cadàver normal quan era desenterrat. Les taxes de descomposició varien segons la temperatura i la composició del sòl, i molts dels signes són poc coneguts. Això ha portat als caçadors de vampirs a concloure erròniament que un cadàver no s'havia descompost en absolut o a interpretar els signes de descomposició com a signes de vida continuada.

Els cadàvers s'inflen a mesura que els gasos de la descomposició s'acumulen al tors i l'augment de la pressió obliga la sang a supurar pel nas i la boca. Això fa que el cos sembli "rebassut", "ben alimentat" i "rojós", canvis que són encara més sorprenents si la persona estava pàl·lida o prima a la vida. En el cas d'Arnold Paole, els seus veïns van jutjar el cadàver exhumat d'una dona gran amb un aspecte més gras i sa del que havia semblat mai a la vida. La sang exsudada donava la impressió que el cadàver havia estat recentment involucrat en una activitat vampírica. L'enfosquiment de la pell també és causat per la descomposició. L'aixecament d'un cos inflat i en descomposició podria fer que el cos sagni i forçar els gasos acumulats a escapar del cos. Això podria produir un so semblant a un gemec quan els gasos passen per sobre de les cordes vocals, o un so que recorda la flatulència quan passen per l'anus. L'informe oficial sobre el cas Petar Blagojevich parla d'«altres signes salvatges que passo per alt per respecte». Després de la mort, la pell i les genives perden líquids i es contrauen, deixant al descobert les arrels del cabell, les ungles i les dents, fins i tot les dents que estaven ocultes a la mandíbula. Això pot produir la il·lusió que els cabells, les ungles i les dents han crescut. En un moment determinat, les ungles cauen i la pell es desenganxa, tal com es va informar en el cas Blagojevich: la dermis i l'arrel de l'ungla que emergeixen per sota es van interpretar com a "pell nova" i "ungles noves".

Enterrament prematur
Les llegendes dels vampirs també poden haver estat influenciades per individus enterrats vius a causa de les mancances en els coneixements mèdics de l'època. En alguns casos en què la gent va informar de sons que emanaven d'un taüt específic, més tard es va desenterrar i es van descobrir marques d'ungles a l'interior de la víctima que intentava escapar. En altres casos, la persona es colpejava el cap, el nas o la cara i semblaria que s'havia "alimentat". Un problema amb aquesta teoria és la qüestió de com presumiblement, les persones enterrades vives aconseguien mantenir-se amb vida durant un període prolongat sense menjar, aigua o aire fresc. Una explicació alternativa del soroll és el bombolleig dels gasos que escapen de la descomposició natural dels cossos. Una altra causa probable de les tombes desordenades és el robatori de tombes.

Malaltia
El vampirisme folklòric s'ha associat amb grups de morts per malalties misterioses o no identificables, generalment dins de la mateixa família o de la mateixa petita comunitat. L'al·lusió epidèmica és òbvia en els casos clàssics de Petar Blagojevich i Arnold Paole, i encara més en el cas de Mercy Brown i en les creences de vampirs de Nova Anglaterra en general, on una malaltia específica, tuberculosi, es va associar amb brots de vampirisme. Igual que amb la forma pneumònica de la pesta bubònica, es va associar amb la ruptura del teixit pulmonar que provocava l'aparició de sang als llavis.

El 1985, el bioquímic David Dolphin va proposar un vincle entre el rar trastorn de la sang porfíria i el folklore dels vampirs. En assenyalar que la malaltia es tracta amb el grup hemo intravenós, va suggerir que el consum de grans quantitats de sang pot provocar que l'hemo es transporti d'alguna manera a través de la paret de l'estómac i al torrent sanguini. Per tant, els vampirs eren merament malalts de porfíria que buscaven substituir l'hemo i alleujar els seus símptomes.

La teoria va ser rebutjada mèdicament, ja que els suggeriments que els malalts de porfíria desitgen l'hemo a la sang humana o que el consum de sang podria alleujar els símptomes de la porfíria es basen en un malentès de la malaltia. A més, es va notar que Dolphin va confondre els vampirs xucladors de sang de la ficció amb els del folklore, molts dels quals no beuen sang. De la mateixa manera, es fa un paral·lelisme entre la sensibilitat a la llum del sol pels malalts, però això es va associar amb vampirs de ficció i no els folklòrics. En qualsevol cas, Dolphin no va arribar a publicar la seva obra de forma més àmplia. Tot i ser descartat pels experts, el vincle va obtenir l'atenció dels mitjans i va entrar en el folklore popular modern.

Un neuròleg, Juan Gómez-Alonso, va examinar el possible vincle de la ràbia amb el folklore dels vampirs. La susceptibilitat a l'all i la llum podria ser deguda a la hipersensibilitat, que és un símptoma de la ràbia. També pot afectar parts del cervell que poden provocar alteracions dels patrons normals de son (per tant, esdevenen nocturns) i hipersexualitats. La llegenda deia una vegada que un home no era rabiós si podia mirar el seu propi reflex (una al·lusió a la llegenda que els vampirs no tenen cap reflex). Els Llops i els ratpenats, que sovint s'associen amb vampirs, poden ser portadors de ràbia. La malaltia també pot provocar un impuls per mossegar els altres i una escuma sagnant a la boca.

Teories psicodinàmiques
En el seu tractat de 1931 On the Nightmare, el psicoanalista gal·lès Ernest Jones va afirmar que els vampirs són símbols de diversos impulsos inconscients i mecanismes de defensa. Emocions com l'amor, la culpa i l'odi alimenten la idea del retorn dels morts a la tomba. Desitjant un retrobament amb els éssers estimats, els dolents poden projectar la idea que els recentment morts han d'anhelar el mateix. D'aquí sorgeix la creença que els vampirs i els revenants folklòrics visiten primer els familiars, especialment els seus cònjuges.

En els casos en què hi havia culpa inconscient associada a la relació, el desig de retrobament pot ser subvertit per l'ansietat. Això pot conduir a la repressió, que Sigmund Freud havia relacionat amb el desenvolupament de la por morbosa. Jones va suposar en aquest cas que el desig original d'una reunió (sexual) podria canviar dràsticament: el desig és substituït per la por; l'amor és substituït pel sadisme, i l'objecte o ésser estimat és substituït per una entitat desconeguda. L'aspecte sexual pot estar o no present. Alguns crítics moderns han proposat una teoria més senzilla: la gent s'identifica amb vampirs immortals perquè, en fer-ho, superen, almenys temporalment, la seva por a morir.

Jones va vincular la sexualitat innata del xuclar amb el canibalisme, amb una connexió folklòrica amb un comportament semblant a l'íncube. Va afegir que quan es reprimeixen aspectes més normals de la sexualitat, es poden expressar formes regressades, en particular el sadisme; va sentir que el sadisme oral és integral en el comportament vampíric.

Interpretacions polítiques

La reinvenció del mite dels vampirs a l'era moderna no està exempta de connotacions polítiques. L'aristocràtic comte Dràcula, sol al seu castell, a part d'uns quants criats dements, que apareix només de nit per alimentar-se de la seva pagesia, és un símbol de lantic règim paràsit. En la seva entrada per a «Vampires» al Dictionnaire philosophique (1764), Voltaire observa com la meitat del  va coincidir amb la decadència de la creença folklòrica en l'existència dels vampirs, però que ara «hi havia intermediaris bursàtils, corredors i homes de negocis, que xuclaven la sang de la gent a plena llum del dia, però no eren morts, encara que corruptes. Aquests veritables xucladors no vivien en cementiris, sinó en palaus molt agradables».

Marx va definir el capital com el «treball mort que, semblant a un vampir, només viu xuclant mà d'obra viva, i com més viu, més treball xucla». Werner Herzog, en la seva pel·lícula Nosferatu: Phantom der Nacht, dóna a aquesta interpretació política un gir extra irònic quan el protagonista Jonathan Harker, un advocat de classe mitjana, es converteix en el següent vampir; d'aquesta manera el burgès capitalista esdevé la següent classe paràsita.

Psicopatologia
Diversos assassins han realitzat rituals aparentment vampírics a les seves víctimes. Els assassins en sèrie Peter Kürten i Richard Trenton Chase van ser anomenats "vampirs" als tabloides després que van ser descoberts bevent la sang de les persones que van assassinar. El 1932, un cas d'assassinat no resolt a Estocolm, Suècia, va rebre el sobrenom d'«Assassinat de vampirs», a causa de les circumstàncies de la mort de la víctima. La comtessa i assassina en massa hongaresa de finals del  Elizabeth Báthory es va fer infame en les obres dels segles posteriors, que la representaven banyant-se amb la sang de les seves víctimes per conservar la bellesa o la joventut.

Demostració de la inexistència dels vampirs
El físic Costas Efthimiou demostrà mitjançant una progressió geomètrica que els vampir no poden existir, almenys prolongadament. Per a demostrar-ho assumeix que un vampir necessita aliment una vegada al mes i que al mossegar una persona/víctima la converteix en vampir.

On P és el total de la població humana no-vampira inicial, n és el total de mesos transcorreguts i h és el total de la població humana no-vampira que hi queda transcorreguts n mesos.

La conseqüència seria l'extinció humana en qüestió de mesos per l'increment geomètric de la població vampira junt al decreixement geomètric de la població humana. La taxa de naixement humana sol ser inferior a la taxa d'aparició de vampirs.

Vampirs en la ficció
El personatge del vampir ha estat una constant en la ficció, tant en la literatura com en les pel·lícules. Les primeres obres que els tractaven els dibuixaven com a monstres sanguinaris, depredadors que feien por als personatges humans. Posteriorment, es va aprofundir en el seu caràcter maleït i marginal (des del romanticisme) i en els seus dilemes per integrar-se o no en la societat ordinària. En paral·lel, es va destacar el seu costat eròtic. La ficció més moderna els presenta com una ètnia més, en convivència amb els humans, amb les seves virtuts, defectes i angoixes. Però no tots són així. És el cas dels dos relats russos d'Alexei Tolstoi (1817-1875): El vampir, centrat en la figura de l'upir rus; i, La família del Vurdalak (1839), ambientat a Sèrbia.

Alguns dels vampirs més famosos són:
 Dràcula, de l'obra homònima de Bram Stoker.
 Edward Cullen, de les novel·les per a adolescents de Stephenie Meyer.
 Armand i Lestat, uns dels protagonistes de la sèrie de Cròniques vampíriques, d'Anne Rice.
 Carmilla, una de les primeres vampiresses, de les històries de Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu.
 Angel, el vampir atractiu de Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
 Varney el vampir, de les obres de James Malcolm Rymer, primer vampir penedit de la història.
 Simon Belmont, l'antagonista de Dràcula en els videojocs de Castlevania.
 Alucard, present en diversos relats, incloent-hi mangues i pel·lícules, anagrama de Dràcula.
 Lord Ruthven, del conte de John William Polidori, un dels primers vampirs literaris de gènere gòtic.
 Blade, dels còmics i pel·lícules de la saga Blade.
 Rudolf, de les novel·les infantils de la sèrie El petit vampir, d'Angela Sommer-Bodenburg.
 Damon i Stefan Salvatore de Diaris de vampirs.
 Eric Northman, Bill Compton i altres personatges de la saga de Vampirs surenys, basats en la vida de la telèpata Sookie Stackhouse i escrits per Charlaine Harris.
 John Mitchell i Hal Yorke de Being Human.

Jocs
El joc de rol Vampire: The Masquerade ha influït en la ficció moderna de vampirs i elements de la seva terminologia en la ficció contemporània. Els videojocs populars sobre vampirs inclouen Castlevania, que és una extensió de la novel·la original Dràcula de Bram Stoker, i Legacy of Kain. El joc de rol Dungeons & Dragons inclou vampirs.

Fat Duck, shut after food poisoning scare, may open this week
Maggie Rosen March 2, 2009
The Fat Duck may open this week after being closed due to a food poisoning scare, owner Heston Blumenthal has said.
Update: Fat Duck open
Blumenthal alerted his local council after dozens of diners complained of feeling ill, and closed his restaurant voluntarily last week, cancelling around 400 bookings. The Fat Duck, in Bray, Berkshire, is one of three Michelin three-star restaurants in the UK.
Speaking to Bloomberg.com, Blumenthal said, 'Every restaurant gets people phoning and saying they've got sick, but we'd never had anything like this. There's been a virus going in this area, and we thought it might be that because we are fastidious about every aspect of hygiene and the symptoms were developing 60 to 70 hours after people's meals.'
He said he would make the decision on 2 March after all the tests are in, and that he would call all the sick people and invite them back as his guests. 'I feel dreadful. For more than 14 years I have put so much effort into making it a positive experience – to have to close like this is a real low.'
The restaurant, and Blumenthal, are held in great esteem and the closure has made international headlines. Fellow restaurateurs have jumped to his support, one saying he was 'massively fastidious' and his food safety would be 'second to none.'
Dozens of diners over the last three weeks said they felt ill after their meals, but neither environmental health inspectors nor food safety experts hired privately by the restaurant have been able to find a culprit.
As of a week ago, various food websites reported the restaurant's sudden closure, which a spokesperson attributed to a power cut. One newspaper, the Daily Mail, quoted an anonymous health inspector speculating on the possibility of sabotage.

The discography of English pop singer Dusty Springfield includes twenty one studio albums, one live album, thirty compilations, four extended plays and sixty-nine singles. Some of Springfield's albums and singles were unreleased, most notably 1974's Longing. Additionally, many of her early US album releases were released by the US arm of Philips Records, using material recorded in England and America with US and UK single releases included and re-ordered. Thus, these album releases were often collections of her recordings that were not intended by Springfield to have been released as proper albums at all. From 1969 on through 2015, her albums were released simultaneously in the US and the UK, though occasionally with different names and artwork, but the same track listings. Only 1968's Dusty... Definitely and 1972's See All Her Faces (both released only in the UK) and 1982's White Heat (released only the US) deviated from that format.

Q: Bitwise operations in Java: Test if in "1010101111011" a bit is set? Let's say, I have some user input (as a String) like "11010011011".
Now I want to check if a bit at a bit at a particular position is set (each digit should act as a flag).
Note: I am receiving the user's input as a String.
How can I do that?

A: You could work with the string as is - say you want to check the first bit on the left:
if (input.charAt(0) == '1') { //

Alternatively if you want to work with a BitSet you can initialise it in a loop:
String input = "11010011011";
BitSet bs = new BitSet(input.length());
int i = 0;
for (char c : input.toCharArray()) {
    if (c == '1') bs.set(i);
    i++;
}

Then to check if the i-th bit is set:
boolean isSet = bs.get(i);

A: If you want to use bitwise operations, then first convert the string to integer and test with bitmasks:
int val = Integer.parseInt("11010011011", 2);
System.out.println(val & (1<<0)); //First bit
System.out.println(val & (1<<1)); //Second bit
System.out.println(val & (1<<2)); //Third bit

Lots of containers - in good shape!
The vessel form is admired and defamed – loved and idolized... but also called traditional and dull. - Is it retro or old fashion? - Is it wonderful and mythical?
- Does it contain hidden messages, political statements?
- Is it Craft, Art&Craft, Fine Art?.. What does it contain? - concepts, contexts?
- the short form: BEHOLD = keep, retain, hold on to!
Danish and international artists – who work in clay – show and share their visual ideas of the 'Beholder', - each accompanied with a single sentence statement.
Visitors have this great opportunity to behold a large number of ceramic forms, made by more than 30 professional artists.
It is a 'study exhibition', that can be 'read', but also a unique collection of contemporary ceramic art pieces, that the viewer can behold, hold, hold on to, - and buy to hold their own personal vision.
The 'Beholder' is roomy and conveys endless questions and answers.
Does the enrichment entirely appear from aesthetic beauty, form fullness, tactual sensation? - Does it only talk about itself? - Does it hold an artistic expression of our time? - Is it a contemporary art form? - Does it hold up, keep up? - Does it hold water? (Danish pun meaning: is it true/real/honest?) – What does it hold?
Must the 'Beholder' be thrown around, broken, closed, perforated, transformed, - until it makes a 'loud enough noise' – just to wake up somebody?
- Or might it precisely be made so to describe … what must be shouted?
Can the Vessel still come out with a new story, that simply must be told – in its own form and space?
Why do many ceramicists still choose to work from the vessel form, cylinders, containers?
Is the ceramic vessel seen as a present time-typical art form, a roomy art object, a sculpture, - or is it seen as a metaphor with the context of the history of the material, the tradition of the form, the relationship to the human body – as a container of life?
Are ceramicists entirely interested in material, form, decoration, function and tradition?
Have they decided to weigh the function of the form, do they also look at the essential notion of form, or do they primarily consider the materials tactility, the depth of the colours, the story of the form, the meaning of the motives?
Is the vessel always completely innocent, cosy and nice to hold?
Is the vessel a roomy sculptural object, like a dear child, who can evoke memories and echoes for most people all over the world – A worldly cultural gathering point, that has been passed on from hand to hand, as something collectively recognizable? - Is the container an unconscious memory of the wonderful meal – from stone age to present time – nurturing, life reassuring and delightful?
Can we compare 5000-year old jars with the present time vessels and feel our ancestors touch passed on throughout the hurried development of technology and industry?
Can we in the form of the 'beholder' feel the beginning of civilisation, a guide mark of gravity and earthy importance? - Does it portray a basic human need for the rounded and roomy, which we can gather around? – a united remembrance - a fertility symbol?
Why keep this art form alive, when it only has a small and specialized audience?
After the Danish pottery apprenticeship has closed, the Art&Craft schools have become academic design educations, and even the renowned Danish KunstIndustryMuseum is renamed the Danish Design Museum, - is there any foundation for still working out of the roots of a traditional craft? - Is the vessel a sentimental copy of an antiquated life-style? - Is the 'beholder' so invisible and quiet, that it can not keep up with the speed of times, desire for news and publicity value?
- What are we going to do with it? - Does it have value?
- What is it nowadays anyway? - BEHOLD!!
There is not a single-minded answer at this exhibition; but the 'Beholders' will talk..

Q: How do I add Skeleton.css to my React app? I mainly use React in React Native and now I am building a website, so I am having a little trouble implementing skeleton.css in my React App.
<!DOCTYPE html>

    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <link rel="shortcut icon" href="%PUBLIC_URL%/favicon.png">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, shrink-to-fit=no">
    <meta name="theme-color" content="#000000">
    <link rel="manifest" href="%PUBLIC_URL%/manifest.json">
    <link href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/skeleton/2.0.4/skeleton.min.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet">

    <title>Urban Hero</title>

I added the CDN link tag and expected to use the css clases using className in my components like so:
export class HomeComponent extends Component {
  render() {
    return (

    );
  }
}

I do get the default CSS applied, fontFamily and so on. However the classes are not being applied. I tried copy pasting this demo landing page and it just does not look the same. (Of course I changed class for className)
Is there any step that I am missing here?

A: You need to rethink the architecture of your application. The HTML page you copied into this post doesn't make sense in a React application, which should be written in JSX components (most of the time).
There many architectural patterns for React, but I usually like to start with ES6 includes for child components and ES6 classes to extend React.component. You could use regular functions instead of classes (check the React documentation on Functions vs Class components). I'll wrap the children in a <BaseLayout> component that provides the base CSS to all the other components in the project.
To work with this architecture and include Skeleton CSS, I'd leverage a package manager - npm install skeleton-css or yarn add skeleton-css, depending on which one you are using with your project. Once you do so, you can add it in like any other ES6 include.
Example of this (assuming some structural components are made):
import React from 'react'
import PropTypes from 'prop-types'

// this might be different depending on your file system
import './skeleton.css'

import Header from '../Header/header'
import Footer from '../Footer/footer'
import Metadata from '../Metadata/metadata';

export default class BaseLayout extends React.Component {
  render() {
    return (
      <SiteContainer>
        <Metadata customTitle={ this.props.title } />

            { /* Child components will inherit the CSS */
              children
            }

      </SiteContainer>
    )
  }
}

BaseLayout.propTypes = {
  children: PropTypes.node.isRequired,
}

A: Try Importing your css file in your React application.


Remember When Heroes Used to Be Heroic?
This idea started in a thread on the unofficial DC Message Boards, and the more I've been thinking about it, the more I think the idea has a lot of merit. Essentially, the "superheroes" appearing in comics are increasingly less heroic as time passes. There are all manner of possible contributing things to this, but at the end of the day, I'm coming to think it's true.
Here's a challenge for you: take all the superhero comics you got last week, and lay them out on the floor in front of you. Now take away all of them that feature solely heroes fighting villains, or villains plotting to/actively attacking heroes. Do you have any left? Are there any that show the hero having, well, a life? Or a scene where they help someone who's not under attack by a villain as part of some revenge scheme?
Heroes used to be about more than fighting. They used to help people. They'd patrol their cities, looking for crimes to halt or people who needed them. I can't remember the last time I saw that. It's one, long, ongoing fight now. Heroes fight villains. Villains come up with elaborate plots to hurt heroes. That's about it. Villains used to have their own motivations that didn't involve simply attacking folks in costumes.
My two reactions to that are, first and foremost, if you find the idea of someone helping someone else boring, why are you reading hero comics? Has it really become "old fashioned" to want to read about characters that actually care about the world around them, and try to use their powers for something besides an ongoing grudge match? Second, aside from their stance on gays, why is "Boy Scouts" supposed to be negative? They educate young men, give them skills, help give them positive things to do. This is a bad thing?
It really does seem now that comics are almost all fighting, all the time. Villains exist solely to attack heroes, heroes are there just to fight the villains. Isn't this the "dark" future they worried about in Kingdom Come? Is this really what everyone but me wants to read?
People who put on a certain outfit just to identify themselves and attack others based on what they are wearing aren't heroes. That sounds like a gang to me. Think about it, if they aren't there to protect the citizenry, and they spend their time assaulting each other because of the costumes, why is that different than gang colors?
Arrow is a tv show based on DC's Green Arrow. In the show, the lead character fairly routinely kills henchmen as he goes. Often he shoots them in the chest with arrows, occasionally he snaps their necks in hand to hand combat, sometimes after pausing first. This, to me, is not a hero. Arrow, as he is shown, is a vigilante, and a criminal one at that. When your standard method of operating involves death, it really weakens that person being a hero in my book.
New Avengers 3 recently showed several powerful Marvel characters dealing with a major crisis, a threat to the entire planet. When Captain America spoke up against what they were doing, they attacked him and erased his memory. Not only is this scene very reminiscent of one that occurred during Identity Crisis several years ago, but it's far from heroic. Captain America is the one most Marvel characters look up to, he's been referred to as the moral center of the Marvel Universe. What does it say about the heroes when they not only attack the "moral center," but they erase his memory of the event? Doing something and then hiding it afterwards usually indicates that what you did was wrong, and you know it. Lifting the scene to one side, attacking a long time friend and ally for disagreeing with you is wrong.
In the rebooted DC Universe, almost every character has been changed in some way. One of the most striking, and, to me, disappointing, is the character of Captain Marvel. He's not even called that any longer, now he's known as "Shazam." One of the things I always really liked about this character is that he was a hero of pure heart. Years ago, when the demon Neron orchestrated a huge plot to ensnare the "purest hero" of them all, he was going after Captain Marvel. In a world that includes people like Superman, that really says something. Now, courtesy of the reboot, we have seen the newly-empowered Billy Batson trash a man's car because he didn't like him, ask for rewards for breaking up a mugging, use his power to steal money from an ATM, and then, when confronted with an actual challenge at his own level, he runs away and hides. I'm told I don't "get it," and that this is more realistic.
Well, maybe I don't get most of this. But comics are getting darker and darker as time passes, and few of the people in there I'd still consider "heroic." Black Canary went from a second generation hero with steadfast convictions to saying things like "Leave one alive for questioning." This is a hero? Superman, when meeting Batman in Justice League, grabbed him by the throat and said "Talk before I won't let you." Every hero has changed in DC, and most in Marvel. None, in my view, for the better.
I wonder, what does it say about our world when these things are the actions of "heroes"? Not every character needs to be a goofy, Dudley Do-Right caricature, of course. But unremittingly dark doesn't work either. Batman is dark and tragic, absolutely. Nightwing isn't supposed to be. If all you have is one note, the music isn't interesting. There's no contrast. I've seen several reports of directives from DC editorial that indicate this line-wide trend isn't a coincidence. There are reports of mandates that every single issue has to have a certain page count dedicated to fighting, that all the good guys must show "the burden of being a hero." But not every hero should be burdened by their choices.
Aside from actual good deeds and heroism, one of the things I'm missing in my comics is actual fun. I am presuming most hero fans have seen Iron Man I by now. One of the best scenes in the movie, for me, is when he gets his second version of the armor working, and flies around the city. He's whooping and yelling in delight at the ride and the rush. Remember when heroes used to have fun? Seems like most of the writers don't. And I think that's just really sad.

Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) can cause congenital infections, which are a leading cause of childhood disabilities. Since the rate of maternal-fetal transmission is much lower in naturally infected (HCMV-seropositive) women, we hypothesize that a vaccine candidate capable of eliciting immune responses analogous to those of HCMV-seropositive subjects may confer protection against congenital HCMV. We have previously described a replication-defective virus vaccine based on strain AD169 (D. Wang, D. C. Freed, X. He, F. Li, et al., Sci Transl Med 8:362ra145, 2016, https://doi.org/10.1126/scitranslmed.aaf9387). The vaccine, named V160, has been shown to be safe and immunogenic in HCMV-seronegative human subjects, eliciting both humoral and cellular immune responses (S. P. Adler, S. E. Starr, S. A. Plotkin, S. H. Hempfling, et al., J Infect Dis 220:411-419, 2019, https://doi.org/10.1093/ infdis/171.1.26). Here, we further showed that sera from V160-immunized HCMV-seronegative subjects have attributes similar in quality to those from seropositive subjects, including high-avidity antibodies to viral antigens, coverage against a panel of genetically distinct clinical isolates, and protection against viral infection in diverse types of human cells in culture. More importantly, vaccination appeared efficient in priming the human immune system, inducing memory B cells in six V160 recipients at frequencies comparable to those of three HCMV-seropositive subjects. Our results demonstrate the ability of V160 to induce robust and durable humoral memory responses to HCMV, justifying further clinical evaluation of the vaccine against congenital HCMV. IMPORTANCE In utero HCMV infection can lead to miscarriage or childhood disabilities, and an effective vaccine is urgently needed. Since children born to women who are seropositive prior to pregnancy are less likely to be affected by congenital HCMV infection, it has been hypothesized that a vaccine capable of inducing an immune response resembling the responses in HCMV-seropositive women may be effective. We previously described a replication-defective virus vaccine that has been demonstrated safe and immunogenic in HCMV-seronegative subjects. Here, we conducted additional analyses to show that the vaccine can induce antibodies with functional attributes similar to those from HCMV-seropositive subjects. Importantly, vaccination can induce long-lived memory B cells at frequencies comparable to those seen in HCMV-seropositive subjects. We conclude that this vaccine is a promising candidate that warrants further clinical evaluation for prevention of congenital HCMV.

Name a time someone gave you tough criticism & how you handled it?
Describe your best boss ever.
Describe your worst boss ever.
The questions weren't difficult. I interviewed with many different people. For the most part they were behavioral base. However, despite my multiple degrees and years of experience in manufacturing the plant manager wanted to "test" my knowledge and asked about plant budgets, definitions of types of cost (fixed, variable, direct, indirect, sunk...). The plant manager was very combative and disrespectful and seemed as if he was searching for a reason to dislike me. The other 4 interviewers were pleasant enough, straight forward and respectful.
I was questioned on use and experience with SAP ERP System. What Purchasing of Commodities Strategies have you used in the past? What type of contract negotiations have you used and when should a MSA, Stocking Agreement or NDA be used? Explain what Demand Planning, Inventory Controls and Annual Productivity metrics have you used to improve supply chain performance?
Why do I think I am qualified for the job?
I know I am qualified because I am a quick thinker that is entirely self motivated to be apart an innovated and growing team.
My experience and how I could put that to use here.
How do I worked with limited resources?


during the last centuries American democracy has made titanic growth towards changing into extra expansive, inclusive and egalitarian. regrettably, we're now at some extent the place this attempt has stalled and the place additional growth is uncertain. in brief, our governmental constitution has reached the limits of its effectiveness and our governance is now in decline. american citizens experience this. There is a robust undercurrent of dissatisfaction flowing throughout the land and american citizens are pissed off with the lack in their elected leaders to manipulate. therefore, they're looking salvation from presidential applicants, either left and correct, that they understand as political outsiders (Trump, Carson, Fiorina and Sanders). regrettably, this too isn't the solution.
Through the guise of an impartial customer from Mars (Ergo the Martian) the writer deals perception on what's going mistaken and, extra importantly, principles on how one can make it correct, with proposals which are sound, believable, reasoned and conceivable. those proposals are usually not for our elected officers, who're jointly the matter, yet really are for annoyed american citizens - who're the one ones that could make a distinction and who, through collective and concerted attempt - can truly correct the ship.
Are strong and undesirable results considerably stricken by the decision-making procedure itself? certainly they're, in that convinced decision-making ideas and practices restrict the power of policymakers to accomplish their targets and increase the nationwide curiosity. The luck of coverage usually activates the standard of the decision-making method.
In recent times a chain of crises have erupted at the eu Union's jap borders. Russia's annexation of Crimea and the next clash in japanese Ukraine offered the ecu with a big international coverage problem, in either Ukraine and around the different international locations of the so-called jap Partnership.
Reaching the advantages of (especially monetary) decentralization in govt is still a permanent problem, partly as the re-arrangement of public capabilities throughout degrees of presidency has frequently been conducted poorly. This ebook goals to supply a less assailable conceptual foundation for the re-arrangement of public services throughout degrees of presidency.
What occurs while journalism is made superfluous? Combining ethnography, media research, ethical and political thought this publication examines the unravelling journalism in Russia during the last twenty-five years, and its results on society. It argues that, opposite to frequent assumptions, past due Soviet-era newshounds shared a cultural agreement with their audiences, which ensured that their paintings was once guided through a truth-telling ethic.

Accessing a world of entertainment online has never been easier. Almost every device in the average household is not only able to access the internet, but is also able to stream online content at the push of a button. Chances are, you're already connected to one or more service which gives you the best streaming content available, like Xbox.
But did you know you can also access services such as Netflix on the Xbox 360 and Xbox One gaming consoles? And, the best part is that you do not have to be a computer expert to get this right.
If you've already been streaming your entertainment from Netflix, you may know that the service is available in many regions around the world. What you may not know is that not all Netflix libraries are created equal. The UK's Netflix Library vastly differs from the libraries available in other regions such as the USA. And that's because Netflix makes different content available in different regions. This is known a geo-blocking, but there is a way around it.
Without a doubt, the most complete Netflix library is that of Netflix USA. It is widely believed that the Netflix USA's library could be up to 10 times larger than any other Netflix library available anywhere else in the world. For many who stream their favorite series online, unlocking the USA Netflix library is similar to opening the entertainment floodgates.
To make your way around the Netflix geo-blocking is really easy and only requires that you spoof your IP address. Essentially by doing this you are bypassing geo-restrictions and will appear to be watching Netflix from the USA when you are in fact watching it from your home in the UK. And all you need to make this possible is a subscription to a VPN or Virtual Private Network. The VPN provider such as Shellfire will facilitate what is commonly called geo-hopping.
The Shellfire Box which was developed and powered by Shellfire essentially acts like a VPN router. It can also easily be connected to streaming devices, such as Xbox which does not normally support VPNs. Not only is the device small and easy to use, it effortlessly unblocks geographically restricted content from around the world.
To watch Netflix on your Xbox device using the Shellfire Box, you have to first set up Netflix on your Xbox. I'll be giving you a few tips on how to do this a little later. Then connect your Shellfire Box to your current router and log onto the Shellfire VPN. Now, simply select a server located in the USA. Next, log onto your Netflix account and just like that you have unlocked a torrent of series' which is not available in the UK.
To use the Netflix app from your Xbox console, you will need to be signed in to an Xbox Live account.
You will also need a Netflix streaming unlimited membership. To get this, you can either make use of an existing account or sign up for a new account from your console. Then, you'll also need at least 75MB of available storage space and a high-speed internet connection.
Once you are signed into your Xbox Live account go to apps and select "My Apps", then select Netflix. You can now browse or search the Netflix library in the UK, or if you are logged onto a VPN you can search libraries from around the world.
You can create different profiles for each member of your family. This can help you restrict content for children. When you have created additional profiles you will be asked to select who is watching each time you log into Netflix on your Xbox. This gives each user a highly personalized Netflix watching experience.

Q: Having Wordpress as landing page for Magento I've met up with one of the digital marketing agency, and they actually recommend me to install a wordpress landing page as a marketing site ontop of my current magento site. They mentioned that it's for stronger SEO purpose as well as improve UI & UX. Just want to clarify if anyone is doing the similar thing, and could advise if it's advisable or not.

A: As a general statement, this is nonsense.
The UI/UX always depends on the implementation of the Magento- or the WordPress-theme. It does not depend on the system itself.
The same goes for Onpage-SEO. If the Magento shop has a bad internal link structure, just change it.
We have also done things like this in the past: installed WordPress for blogging purposes, or to use it as a website and the shop for selling. In my experience, however, the pain is bigger than the gain.
Besides the employees of our clients who had to work with two systems now, the biggest problem we discovered was that optimizations and changes always had to be done twice. Want to optimize your HTML for the Google crawler? Do it in Magento and WordPress. Want to relaunch your design? Also Magento and WordPress. Want to make your site available for mobile users? Want to implement AMP? Always twice the effort.
If you want to blog in Magento, use one of the extensions that are available. If you need a CMS page hierarchy, you can work around this by using categories with static blocks. And if you want a completely different system with maybe a different layout that is not connected to the shop, install WordPress.

A: It is recommended to use only one platform. This will be good to manage as far as development and SEO or marketing is concerned.
You can either use Magento with blog extension or Wordpress with WooCommerce plugin.
