Sun Boxes: Solar powered sound installation travels the Vineyard

Sun worshiper Craig Colorusso has created a musical celebration to appear on Martha's Vineyard at various locations throughout several weeks.
As an innovative, well-traveled musician, he left the band scene to incorporate art into his life and began designing musical installations years ago. He was inspired by a trip to Rhyolite, Nev., where the desert is what pushed the production of something animated by our brightest star. With no energy wasted, Mr. Colorusso has created solar powered Sun Boxes.
The exhibit is comprised of 20 "sun boxes." Each one cradles a speaker, solar panel, and PC board strumming a continuously looped guitar note. Every box relies on itself to play its designated note, and because there are no connectors, the outcome is always different depending on the potency of the sun.
Together, the various notes strumming in the heart of each box will eventually emulate a B flat chord. The pace and construction of the composition is governed only by the sun. Location on a specific day could play a part in the unique, meditative qualities the sun boxes emit, but it's all about the heat with these carriages of sound.
On the website, sun-boxes.com, Mr. Colorusso explained, "Because the loops are different in length, once the piece begins they continually overlap and the piece slowly evolves over time."
Where to find them
Saturday, Sept. 24, and Sunday, Sept. 25, Mr. Colorusso's Sun Boxes will be at The FARM Institute (TFI) in Edgartown, beginning at 10 am, ending at 5 pm. During the day visitors can explore the farm, pick their own pumpkins, and experience the qualities of the solar-powered speakers, relaxing, slowing down, and walking on the farm. All proceeds from the pumpkin sales go to TFI's education programs aiding in the attainment of sustainable agriculture. Pumpkins are priced at $0.90/lb. for 7 lbs. and under; $0.60 for over 7 lbs.
On Monday, Sept. 26, you can discover the exhibit at Featherstone Center for The Arts in Oak Bluffs. On Wednesday, they will be at Felix Neck Wildlife Sanctuary in Edgartown, and on September 29 at Morning Glory Farm, also in Edgartown. On Friday and Saturday, Sept. 30 and Oct. 1, see them at The Field Gallery in West Tisbury.
The best way to understand the Sun Boxes is to pick a location, go, and listen. Go once, go many times to appreciate the earth, the Island, and what nature can allow us to do with her instruments.

Evan is home from Germany! I'm so glad to have my smart, tough, hilarious, handsome, quirky brother home again.
On Saturday Logan, Evan, and I took the little kids (minus Violet) to hike to the Y and watch the Stadium of Fire fireworks. We stuck Julia in the baby backpack and Evan carried her. About halfway up she said, "Hiking makes me tired. I need to take a rest on your shoulder, Evan." Yep, life's tough when you're two years old. 🙂 Also, we brought Natalie's friend Megan with us, and Julia called her "Bacon" the whole night. Megan, Bacon…they're interchangeable, I guess.
I hiked Maple Mountain for the first time with my brothers last week. (Yes, I'm a little ashamed of myself that I've lived in Springville almost half my life and had never climbed it!) We made pretty good time–we started hiking at 6:00 and summited by 9:15. Then we were back off the mountain by 11:00, so I still had time for a half day of work. Maybe I should hike Maple Mountain every day.
This week should be an adventure. Logan, Evan, and I are going to make an attempt at Gannet Peak, which evaded us last year because of terrible blizzarding weather. I hope we get a chance at the summit! Gannett is Wyoming's state highpoint and is considered the second-most-difficult state highpoint (after Denali, of course!). I hope I'm ready for this.
I went to Samantha's bridal shower with my mom last week. Samantha has been one of my best friends since I moved to Springville and I'm so excited for her and Brandon (and I really really hope I can make it back to Springville in time for their reception on Saturday!). The funniest moment of the bridal shower was when Samantha pulled a beautiful framed picture of the Manti Temple out of a bright pink Victoria's Secret bag. "Sorry! That was the only bag I had to wrap it in!" said the lady who had given it to her.
So, life is good. I exchanged e-mail addresses with a potential Jewish genealogy client at the FHL last week (if any of you guys have Jewish friends interested in genealogy, please direct them to my website), hung out with my awesome friend Jana, coerced BOTH my brothers into bearing their testimonies in sacrament meeting, had a good lazy Sunday with my family, cut Wendell's hair today and didn't make him look terrible, and went running a LOT.
Ugh, I wish I could have hiked the Y when Logan invited me! I miss you guys so much! Be safe in Wyoming. Let's party when you are free. Love you!
Be careful on that hike, okay? I heard they had a really bad jackalope population explosion last month. You know how antsy jackalopes can be . . . . And now they're running all over the place, scalping hikers and cooking them for dinner!Seriously though, have a great time. I'm glad Evan is back safe and sound, and I'm super excited for Samantha too. Maybe I'll see you at the reception.
Kimberli you are too cool for school. I miss you! Sounds like you and your brothers are up to some rad shenanigans. Also, I noticed that you recently "devoured" Cry, the Beloved Country, I LOVE LOVE LOVE THAT BOOK! Anyways. Tell Logan I say hi! See you in December maybe?!
You are a hiking machine! I want to go with you sometime! You better make it to Samantha's reception because I miss you and want to party with you!


Current Low, at sea level hastily reaches Gujarat border with M.P. today afternoon. Resultant clouding seen over Gujarat and N.Konkan.
Seems will have to pre-pone the forecasts given in "vagaries" for Gujarat and Mumbai by 1 day. due to faster-than-expected speed of low after crossing into land.
And remember, this same low lingered over the Orissa coast for 5 days !
Still, I would expect a couple of heavy showers in Mumbai on Thursday evening.
Mumbai Colaba and S'Cruz measured up 60 mms till Thursday morning.
Total for Colaba: 3123 mms. Shortfall for record: 360 mms.

Dame Dash Slams JAY-Z's 'Corny' Lawsuit Against Him: 'Why Do I Have to Get Sued?'
*JAY-Z recently scored a legal victory when a judge blocked Damon Dash's attempt to sell his stake in Roc-A-Fella Records.
As previously reported, the company is suing Dash for trying to auction off Jay-Z's 'Reasonable Doubt' album as an NFT.
Per TMZ, Roc-A-Fella claims they own the project, so they're going after Dash for allegedly trying to sell the album to the highest bidder. In the suit, the label accuses Dash of "frantically scouting for another venue to make the sale."
Dash claims Jigga offered him a price that was way too low — so he attempted to find a new buyer. He said, "Under the terms of the deal with a potential buyer, the buyer would buy my share of Roc a Fella Records and Jay-Z will have exclusive administration rights."
The famed hip-hop producer believes he has the legal right to sell what he owns, which is one-third stake in the label.

Per Complex, Dash has filed a countersuit with the New York Supreme Court against Jay, saying his former business partner "wrongfully took the streaming rights of Reasonable Doubt for himself," the outlet writes.
Per the report: Dash's suit accuses Jay of transferring the streaming rights of the project to S. Carter Enterprises LLC without authorization from Roc-A-Fella Records. Dash is seeking a minimum of $1 million in damages, citing unjust enrichment, breach of fiduciary duty, replevin and conversion.
"From my perspective, it feels like this was all done to devalue this asset," Dash told HipHopDX of the lawsuit. "I just don't understand why. What's odd is that they knew I was only trying to sell one-third, but they're trying to say I tried to sell the whole thing. But we all know that that's not the case, so why do they keep saying it? The question is, why is it such a big deal? Why is everyone so scared for me to sell my one-third?"
He called JAY-Z's lawsuit "corny."
"Honestly, I think this is corny," Dash told DX. "If there's an issue, just call me. Why do I have to hear it? Why do I have to get sued?"
He added, "I don't want to deal with this shit," he said. "I just want to go and have the life of being an artist, start working on love, my family. I'm doing things my way."

So far my favorite take is, of all things, this forum thread where the sheer volume of people reporting things as bugs that aren't bugs, but just the way the game worked back then. I think I laughed the hardest at Warrior health regeneration is working at the expected rate, which is a very nice way of saying Yes, you're dying a lot, that's how it was for Warriors back then. I've said it before and I know I'll say it again, but guys, all those supposed 'dumbing down' changes that got made between then and now were for a reason, and in a lot of cases? That reason was because it's awful. Much of WoW Classic is going to feel like getting a sandpaper massage compared to the game as it is now — a whole host of conveniences and improvements have been made over the years.
WoW Classic seeks to recreate the "vanilla WoW" experience—that is, WoW as it existed before a series of seven game-altering major expansion packs from 2007's The Burning Crusade to 2018's Battle for Azeroth. To achieve this, Blizzard has rebuilt the game based on archived data from back in 2005 and 2006 (patch 1.12 is the goalpost—the current game is on patch 8.1.5). The company has committed to meticulously presenting the experience exactly as it was back then—warts and all—with only a small number of unavoidable or critical changes.
PHASED CONTENT ROLLOUT – Following its launch, World of Warcraft Classic's content will be released over the course of multiple phases reflecting the game's original order. Re-experience WoW history unfolding as heroes gear up for Blackwing Lair; players battle for PvP Honor and Rank rewards; and entire realms band together to open the gates of Ahn'Qiraj.
Workaround as a player is simply to skip forward past that step in the guide, at which point it has steps for the other quests. I'm still on Bleakrock as that character, so I don't know if a duplicate "begin the evacuation" step exists after you've found all the missing people. In either case, just don't talk to Captain Rana about evacuating until you've completed all the other main/sidequests on Bleakrock, which are listed at the UESP link above.
Thanks so much for the replies. I think I am somewhat of a collector/roster builder. I go around doing the dailies but I also like buying pets just for their looks. I watched hazelnutty on youtube last night. I think I will focus on doing the expeditions when I have time to get all the pets that come from that. Then I will go back and do old raids like Eekwibble suggested.
Blood: Unholy Command - Your Death Grip has two charges. Frost: Chill Streak - Deals up to 6% of the target's total health in Frost damage and reduces their movement speed by 70% for 4 sec. Chill Streak bounces up to 9 times between closest targets within 6 yards. Unholy: Necrotic Strike - A vicious strike that deals [ 30% of Attack Power ] Plague damage, and converts 1 Festering Wounds into a Necrotic Wound, absorbing up to 7% of the target's maximum health in healing recieved. Demon Hunter
One of my favorite features is the Smart Injection System, which automatically determines the optimal place for your character to get started with the guides, based on your level and quest history. In other words, it doesn't matter what level you are currently, you can jump right in and continue seamlessly with the guides. It also means that you don't have to be a slave to the guides, they work perfectly even if you're also leveling in instances, battlegrounds, using heirlooms or rested EXP. If your level ever gets ahead of the guide, just use the built-in feature to skip to the right place again. Very cool.
The vanilla WoW Horde leveling guide you see on this site was originally made back in 2006 by Joana (AKA Mancow, or FuriousPaul).  The guides have been tweaked many times over the years to make things "faster".  The leveling guides were made because of all the messages I got from people asking me how I was able to level up so quickly on new realms.  I was first to level 60 on 7 different realms (3 with Mancow and 4 with Joana), even winning Blizzard's "First to Level 50" contest they held back in 2006.

Always to Care, Never to Kill:
by Various February 1992
The following declaration was produced by the Ramsey Colloquium of the Institute on Religion and Public Life in New York City. The Colloquium is a group of Jewish and Christian theologians, ethicists, philosophers, and scholars that meets periodically to consider questions of ethics, religion, and public life. It is named after Paul Ramsey (1913–1988), the distinguished Methodist ethicist, who was a pioneer in the field of contemporary medical studies. An abbreviated version of the declaration appeared in the Wall Street Journal of November 27, 1991.
We are grateful that the citizens of Washington State have turned back a measure that would have extended the permission to kill, but we know that this is not the end of the matter. The American people must now prepare themselves to meet similar proposals for legally sanctioned euthanasia. Toward that end we offer this explanation of why euthanasia is contrary to our faith as Jews and Christians, is based upon a grave moral error, does violence to our political tradition, and undermines the integrity of the medical profession.
In relating to the sick, the suffering, the incompetent, the disabled, and the dying, we must learn again the wisdom that teaches us always to care, never to kill. Although it may sometimes appear to be an act of compassion, killing is never a means of caring.
The well-organized campaign for legalized euthanasia cruelly exploits the fear of suffering and the frustration felt when we cannot restore to health those whom we love. Such fear and frustration is genuine and deeply felt, especially with respect to the aging. But to deal with suffering by eliminating those who suffer is an evasion of moral duty and a great wrong.
Deeply embedded in our moral and medical traditions is the distinction between allowing to die, on the one hand, and killing, on the other. That distinction is now under attack and must be defended with all the force available to us. It is permitted to refuse or withhold medical treatment in accepting death while we continue to care for the dying. It is never permitted, it is always prohibited, to take any action that is aimed at the death of ourselves or others.
Medical treatments can be refused or withheld if they are either useless or excessively burdensome. No one should be subjected to useless treatment; no one need accept any and all lifesaving treatments, no matter how burdensome. In making such decisions, the judgment is about the worth of treatments, not about the worth of lives. When we ask whether a treatment is useless, the question is: "Will this treatment be useful for this patient, will it benefit the life he or she has?" When we ask whether a treatment is burdensome, the question is: "Is this treatment excessively burdensome to the life of this patient?" The question is not whether this life is useless or burdensome. Our decisions, whether for or against a specific treatment, are to be always in the service of life. We can and should allow the dying to die; we must never intend the death of the living. We may reject a treatment; we must never reject a life.
Once we cross the boundary between killing and allowing to die, there will be no turning back. Current proposals would legalize euthanasia only for the terminally ill. But the logic of the argument—and its practical consequences—will inevitably push us further. Arguments for euthanasia usually appeal to our supposed right of self-determination and to the desirability of relieving suffering. If a right to euthanasia is grounded in self-determination, it cannot reasonably be limited to the terminally ill. If people have a right to die, why must they wait until they are actually dying before they are permitted to exercise that right? Similarly, if the warrant for euthanasia is to relieve suffering, why should we be able to relieve the suffering only of those who are self-determining and competent to give their consent? Why not euthanasia for the suffering who can no longer speak for themselves? To ask such questions is to expose the logical incoherence and the fragile arbitrariness of suggested "limits" in proposals for legalized euthanasia.
We must not delude ourselves. Euthanasia is an extension of the license to kill. Once we have transgressed and blurred the line between killing and allowing to die, it will be exceedingly difficult-in logic, law, and practice-to effectively limit the license to kill. Once the judgment is not about the worth of specific treatments but about the worth of specific lives, our nursing homes and other institutions will present us with countless candidates for elimination who would "be better off dead."
In the face of such mortal danger, we would direct public attention to four interwoven sources of wisdom in our cultural heritage that can teach us again always to care, never to kill.
Religious Wisdom
As Christians and Jews, we have learned to think of human life—our own and that of others—as both gift and trust. We have been entrusted to one another and are to care for one another. We have not been authorized to make comparative judgments about the worth of lives or to cut short the years that God gives to us or others. We are to relieve suffering when we can, and to bear with those who suffer, helping them to bear their suffering, when we cannot. We are never to "solve" the problem of suffering by eliminating those who suffer. Euthanasia, once established as an option, will inevitably tempt us to abandon those who suffer. This is especially the case when we permit ourselves to be persuaded that their lives are a burden to us or to them. The biblical tradition compels us to seek and exercise better ways to care. We may think that we care when we kill, but killing is never caring. Whatever good intentions we might invoke to excuse it, killing is the rejection of God's command to care and of his help in caring.
Moral Wisdom
We may possess many good things in life. Although we benefit from such goods, they do not constitute our very being. We can, if we wish, renounce such goods or give them into the control of another. Life, however, is not simply a "good" that we possess. We are living beings. Our life is our person. To treat our life as a "thing" that we can authorize another to terminate is profoundly dehumanizing. Euthanasia, even when requested by the competent, can never be a humanitarian act, for it attacks the distinctiveness and limitations of being human. Persons—ourselves and others—are not things to be discarded when they are no longer deemed useful.
We can give our life for another, but we cannot give ultimate authority over our life to another. The painfully learned moral wisdom of our heritage is that persons cannot "own" persons. The decision for euthanasia is not an exercise of human freedom but the abandonment of human freedom. To attempt to turn one's life into an object that is at the final disposition of another is to become less than human, while it places the other in a position of being more than human—a lord of life and death, a possessor of the personhood of others.
Human community and the entirety of civilization is premised upon a relationship of moral claims and duties between persons. Personhood has no meaning apart from life. If life is a thing that can be renounced or taken at will, the moral structure of human community, understood as a community of persons, is shattered. Whatever the intentions of their proponents, proposals for legalizing euthanasia must be seen not as a solution to discrete problems but as an assault upon the fundamental ideas undergirding the possibility of moral order. The alternative to that moral order is the lethal disorder of a brave new world in which killing is defined as caring, life is viewed as the enemy, and death is counted as a benefit to be bestowed.
Political Wisdom
We hold these truths," the founders of our political community declared, and among the truths that our community has held is that the right to life is "unalienable." All human beings have an equal right to life bestowed by "Nature and Nature's God." Government is to recognize and respect that right; it does not bestow that right.
This unalienable right places a clear limit on the power of the state. Except when government exercises its duty to protect citizens against force and injustice, or when it punishes evildoers, it may not presume for itself an authority over human life. To claim that—apart from these exceptions—the state may authorize the killing even of consenting persons is to give state authority an ultimacy it has never had in our political tradition. Again, legalized euthanasia is an unprecedented extension of the license to kill. In the name of individual rights it undercuts the foundation of individual rights. An unalienable right cannot be alienated, it cannot be given away. Our political tradition has wisely recognized that government cannot authorize the alienation of a right it did not first bestow.
Institutional Wisdom
Legalized euthanasia would inevitably require the complicity of physicians. Members of the healing profession are asked to blur or erase the distinction between healing and killing. In our tradition, medical caregivers have understood this to be their calling: to cure when possible, to care always, never to kill. Legalized euthanasia would require a sweeping transformation of the meaning of medicine.
In a time when the medical profession is subjected to increasing criticism, when many people feel vulnerable before medical technology and practice, it would be foolhardy for our society to authorize physicians to kill. Euthanasia is not the way to respond to legitimate fears about medical technology and practice. It is unconscionable that the proponents of euthanasia exploit such fears. Such fears can be met and overcome by strongly reaffirming the distinction between killing and allowing to die—by making clear that useless and excessively burdensome treatment can be refused, while at the same time leaving no doubt that this society will neither authorize physicians to kill nor look the other way if they do.
This fourfold wisdom can be rejected only at our moral peril. By attending to these sources of wisdom, we can find our way back to a firmer understanding of the limits of human responsibility, and of the imperative to embrace compassionately those who suffer from illness and the fears associated with the end of life. Guided by this wisdom, we will not presume to eliminate a fellow human being, nor need we fear being abandoned in our suffering. The compact of rights, duties, and mutual trust that makes human community possible depends upon our continuing adherence to the precept, Always to care, never to kill.

After a lengthy struggle, surrounded by his family, on Wednesday, February 6, 2019 at Grey Gables Nursing Home, formerly of Priceville just shy of his 93rd birthday. He is reunited with his beloved wife(honey) who passed suddenly only 7 months ago. Loving father of Allan of Desboro, Linda(Keith) Banks of Warburg, AB, Roy(Darla Burch) of Devon, AB, Shirley Hendrickson(Murray Schmidt) of RR4 Walkerton, Donna(Gary) Taylor of Whitby, Larry(Arlene) of BC, Nancy(Mike) Hogenes of New Lowell, Rosemary(Bill) King of Warburg, AB and the late Kenneth and Richard. Loved and remembered by 26 grandchildren and many great and great great grandchildren. Predeceased by brother Otto and his wife Pear, Elsmere and his wife Marie Mills and sisters Arletta and her husband Clarence Hill and Shirley Mills.
Sheldon was born February 20, 1926 in Euphrasia Township to Thomas and Edythe Mills. He attended school in Bognor, Ontario before heading to Toronto to attend school for Welding. He met and married the love of his life, June Sherwood and were together for 61 years until her death in July of 2018. They raised 10 children together at their home in Priceville where Sheldon had his welding shop. He loved time with the family, his vegetable garden, his plants, and social time. He spent many days tinkering around in his shop, cutting wood for his wood stove and finding little jobs here and there. He and June enjoyed many years, neighbours and friends in Priceville before moving to Markdale. Sadly Sheldon's last years of life were plagued with the onset of Dementia, but he face would still light up when his family would visit. The family can't find words to express their appreciation to all of the staff on "Maple Lane" at Grey Gables, including Dr. Power, for all of your care.

EU nations reject Commission money laundering blacklist
BRUSSELS (AP) — European Union member states have unanimously rejected a proposal by the EU executive Commission to blacklist 23 countries and territories it believes pose a high risk of money laundering or terrorist financing.
In a rebuke for the EU Commission, the member states said in a statement Thursday that the proposal "was not established in a transparent and resilient process."
The list included such nations like Saudi Arabia, North Korea and Nigeria, and four U.S. overseas territories, which drew the ire of the U.S. government.
The list is used to increase checks and investigations on financial transactions from those countries and territories to find suspicious money flows.
The EU Commission will now have to set up a new list and take the concerns of the member states into consideration.

It's no secret that developing a name brand pays off in hard dollars. You can charge more for your product or service, build client loyalty and get new clients more cheaply. In addition, a recognized brand allows you to recruit top talent, giving you the most important upper hand over your competitors—just ask Google.
However, brand name recognition is not reserved only for the Google's and Nike's of the world. Developing brand recognition is a long game, but there are several strategies that companies of all sizes can incorporate in their journey towards becoming a household name (at least for their target clients).
1. Get the basics (name & logo) right.
A memorable name and logo to go with it. By bo_rad.
The first branding decision you have to make for your company is probably the most important one and it consists, quite literally, in the name and the face of your company—so don't slack off here. Both the name and the logo should coherently speak to an authentic story of your company's values. Additionally, both should mix memorability with practicality, and be capable of immediately coming to your clients' minds as they think of your company.
2. Tell a good story. To everyone.
All interactions with clients, investors and media can be used as opportunities to make a positive impact. And what sticks in people's memories are stories, not lists of product features. Telling a story is powerful in many ways: it makes people pay attention; it helps them remember your name once they have a compelling background story to link it to; it makes them feel like they've been part of your journey all along and therefore more likely to form a deeper attachment to your brand. Don't forget that all businesses are, at the core, about people.
Telling a great story about pants. Via Racked.
Take a page out of Bonobos' CEO Andy Dunn's playbook, who masterfully crafts a compelling company tale and shares interesting insights, while essentially selling his brand. His story integrates the personal details (his inner thoughts when establishing the company, or the first investor conversations) with the major trends that his company ignited (like being the first "digitally native" brand) and even further, lessons in branding from other companies (like the Apple Store creating a unique customer service experience with the Genius bar.) When you listen to his words, you feel like you learned something useful and like you genuinely appreciate the brand more. You've been sold to without even realizing it.
3. Share content often and generously.
Brain Awareness Week infographic. By Frau Farbissina for kerry.hutchings.
It's obvious that people will be more willing to buy from you if they perceive that you know what you're doing. What's not so obvious—yet equally true—is that people will also be more willing to buy from you if they perceive that they've already received value from you before having paid a dime. A good way to create such value for your clients is by producing or curating content that addresses their needs, while showcasing your expertise in the subject matter. So don't create only self-serving content that advertises your company, but share real knowledge. You can do so by keeping an active online presence via blogging, Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and other channels, and by sharing ideally a mix of original content and curated relevant content from the web. Not only will you build trust in clients that are already aware of your brand, but through their sharing of your content, you will also get exposure to new clients.
Pro tip: when sharing content, make sure to showcase the visual elements first (e.g. infographics) that give a gist of the content before the click—this will be guaranteed to get you extra re-shares.
4. Go where your clients are. Physically.
An online experience brought to life. Via LinkedIn.
Everyone talks about social media and building a great online brand, but little can truly surpass an in-person experience. Even natively digital companies, such as Warby Parker and Birchbox, have now opened flagship brick and mortar stores to create an omni-channel brand. While this is chiefly an e-commerce trend, the principle applies to other companies and industries. I don't simply mean you should go to the conferences that your target clients attend—though this can be effective (and expensive). Instead, think more creatively about the situations where your clients would have a real, immediate need for your product and try to find them there: for instance, when I docked my citibike on a hot summer day in New York City, flavored water brand Bai was there to offer me a complimentary chilled drink.
5. Interact, engage and make it fun.
Making the 404 page your own. By Wishnewsky for Geoff_S.
People don't like being talked at, especially by robots. So don't sound like one when you interact with your clients. In all chances you get—one-on-one communications or mass communications through newsletters or social media—use an authentic and personal voice, and don't overdo the templates. Further, engage your social media followers with relevant contests, referral programs or giveaways. Behavioral economics informs us, against all logic, that people prefer the chance at winning a big prize than the certainty of a small one, so use this to your advantage to create buzz around your company.
Finally, don't miss the chance to put a smile on your clients' faces. Sure, your company is serious business so plastering memes all over your website may not be wise. However, when appropriate, you can show some personality when the users run into a not-found page, or you can pepper up your social media with relevant gifs (please disregard this tip if you're running an embassy).
6. Be part of something bigger.
Embrace and be proud of the bigger values you believe in and embody as a brand. Sometimes it may seem as they are not directly related to your product, but if it's part of your authentic brand story, they can create brand loyalty beyond what a simple product can. Ice cream and politics have nothing in common, yet Ben and Jerry's consistently (and arguably successfully) make political statements with their delectable scoops.
A brand that cares about their workers, and shows it. Via Girlfriend Collective.
Getting political may not be the best course of action for all brands as that can have a divisive effect, but there are many other worthwhile and less controversial causes to get behind of as a company. For instance, the activewear startup Girlfriend Collective convincingly markets itself as a socially conscious brand. Instead of just talking about it, they show this value by inviting their clients and subscribers to "virtual tours" of their factory, where you see the ins and outs of where they make their apparel and get to hear the stories of their workers, who are treated and paid fairly.
There's immense power not only in connecting with your clients, but also in building a community of users that can contribute to shaping and advancing your product or service. For instance, the language-learning platform DuoLingo was smart enough to realize that scaling the product to meet the needs of their users for more language modules would be very costly and take a long time. So instead of hiring in-house language experts, they made the unconventional decision to make their underlying technology accessible by their users. This way, new languages were added to Duolingo in record time through their active user base. VC Brittany Gorevic explains this and other examples of companies that have achieved great results by including their users in the product-building process.
Build a community, and let your users help you. Via meetup.
Another way to create a community is by enabling your clients to connect to one another and exchange knowledge on the topics that matter to them. You can do so by hosting regular gatherings of like-minded professionals or, if you have the ability, by hosting other groups in your office space for their events. For instance my team at recruiting platform day100 organizes a monthly HR Technology Showcase meetup. Such efforts give you the chance to meet with existing or potential clients in person, and create value for them through relevant content-sharing and networking opportunities.
Put a little soul into the experience. Via A Better Chicago.
Consider: what is the above-and-beyond customer service you can deliver? Then execute it. Chances are that the cost of doing this is only a fraction of the return you'll get from turning a one-time customer into a repeat one. For some brands, magical experiences are at the very core of their business: SoulCycle would be a regular spinning fitness center and not a "cult", if it weren't for their obsession with fine-tuning all the elements of their space, music, and instructors to create a unique experience for their riders. For example, all SoulCycle classes are characterized by dim lighting and and a recognizable candle scent, creating a soulful environment that stands apart from most workout environments. The language of the brand—visible on the website, studios, and instructors—also mimics this: it's not about calories or muscles; it's about letting go, pushing, being a "warrior". It's in making a gruelling physical experience feel soul-nourishing that SoulCycle can get away with charging $34 per class, and continue to thrive in spite of high competition.
Rinse and repeat until it sticks, and then some more.
Some of these methods are easier than others; yet, for all of them, the real value is created not in doing them once, but in their repetition. The many cohesive brand elements—visual identity, story, communication, content, customer service, etc.—need to evolve and be reinforced many times over in order to stick in the customers' minds. However, these methods also highlight that it doesn't take a bottomless budget to build a recognizable brand. The secret to creating a brand your customers love is in understanding their wants and needs from their perspective, then creatively delivering a stupidly-over-the-top great experience for them.

Q: Flutter Get Device MAC Address Does flutter have some code or additional package to get MAC address of the device?

A: Flutter can only do as much as what the underlying OS can, since iOS 7 and Android 6, you will always get the same response 02:00:00:00:00:00, this has been made by Apple and Google for privacy concerns.
Quote Apple

In iOS 7 and later, if you ask for the MAC address of an iOS device, the system returns the value 02:00:00:00:00:00. If you need to identify the device, use the identifierForVendor property of UIDevice instead. (Apps that need an identifier for their own advertising purposes should consider using the advertisingIdentifier property of ASIdentifierManager instead.)

Quote Google

To provide users with greater data protection, starting in this release, Android removes programmatic access to the device's local hardware identifier for apps using the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth APIs. The WifiInfo.getMacAddress() and the BluetoothAdapter.getAddress() methods now return a constant value of 02:00:00:00:00:00.

Long story short, no MAC address available.

A: You can Easily get Mac Address in flutter Using the get_mac Package. It supports IOS and Android.
Import in Your Dart File Where you want to get Mac Address.
then Refer to this Example-:
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:flutter/services.dart';
import 'package:get_mac/get_mac.dart';

class SplashScreen extends StatefulWidget {
  @override
  _SplashScreenState createState() => _SplashScreenState();
}

class _SplashScreenState extends State<SplashScreen> {
  String _platformID = 'Unknown';

  @override
  void initState() {
    super.initState();
    initPlatformState();
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      backgroundColor: Colors.white,
      body: Center(
        child: Column(
          crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.center,
          mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
          children: [
            Image.asset(
              "images/logo.png",
              height: 250.0,
              width: 250.0,
            ),
            Text(_platformID)
          ],
        ),
      ),
    );
  }

  Future<void> initPlatformState() async {
    String platformVersion;
    try {
      platformVersion = await GetMac.macAddress;
    } on PlatformException {
      platformVersion = 'Failed to get Device MAC Address.';
    }
    print("MAC-: " + platformVersion);
    if (!mounted) return;
    setState(() {
      _platformID = platformVersion;
    });
  }
}

A: you can use package:  device_info_plus: ^3.1.1

The world of an English student on film
Arianna Muñoz recommends four films for each of your literary and aesthetic moods
A shot of Charlie Kaufmann's 'I'm thinking of ending things' (2020).Twitter @Books_in_movies
by Arianna Muñoz
Friday September 17 2021, 12:00am
As my return to Cambridge creeps closer, I find myself transitioning back into academic life. On the one hand, this transition is practical – like reading the books I was assigned three months ago and never got around to – while on the other it is deeply personal – that is, watching movies.
Since I study English, I am luckier than those in other subjects; the number of films about the wonders of medicine, engineering, or land economy are, alas, dismally few. Us English students, however, have hundreds of book-to-movie adaptations to turn to before we return to reading and writing all day. Given this deluge of adaptations ranging from the practically perfect to the perfectly dull, where does one start? Read on to discover a few of the many films that will prepare you for a term filled with reading, writing, and literary wonder.
The Jane Austen One
Kiera Knightly as Elizabeth Bennet in Joe Wright's 'Pride and Prejudice' (2005).Twitter @pandp2005
It is a truth universally acknowledged, that an English student in possession of a fanciful view of love, must be in want of a good Jane Austen adaptation. Joe Wright's 2005 version of Pride and Prejudice is one such film. Kiera Knightly and Matthew Macfadyen shine as Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy, presenting a relationship in which gentle, subdued emotions give way to bursts of pure passion. Embracing a naturalistic green-and-yellow colour palette, Wright's camera basks in the worn charm of the Bennet house and the haughty elegance of Pemberley as it slowly follows the characters around. But if the visuals are grounded, Dario Marianelli's score emphasizes the exuberance of Austen's original novel; when the Bennet sisters learn they will be meeting Mr. Bingley at a local ball, the music swells, reflecting and heightening the girls' elation. Though not entirely faithful to the text, Wright's Pride and Prejudice captures the ethos of Austen's novel. Ultimately, it is a charming movie that's perfect for bringing the summer to a romantic, tranquil close.
Other films to watch: Emma (2019), Clueless (1995)
The Dark Academia One
A shot from James Ivory's 'Maurice' (1987).Twitter @CINEMA505
There is another element of studying English at Cambridge that every student looks forward to: the fact that they're studying English at Cambridge. Many novels and their adaptations embrace this romanticized view of university life, including Maurice: James Ivory's 1987 adaptation of the E.M. Forster novel. Chronicling the romance between Maurice (James Wilby) and Clive (Hugh Grant), the film initially takes place in Cambridge, establishing it as a place of personal discovery but also tradition. Cambridge is depicted as a shrine for intellectual discussion, as Ivory initially pans from a view of King's College to a group of young men debating the merits of music. Maurice and Clive fall in love among old books, medieval buildings, and formals lit by candlelight; they muse about desire while punting down the Cam. In short, theirs is the perfect Cambridge experience, a dark and ancient university secretly brimming with youth and life. For a student preparing to return to this university, there is no better way to idealize the journey of the next year.
Other films to watch: 84 Charing Cross Road (1987)
The Shakespeare One
Lawrence Olivier in 'Richard III' (1955).Twitter @RexRichardusIII
Just as there have been dozens of Jane Austen adaptations, so too has Shakespeare been subject to adaptation, reinterpretation, and reimagination. There is Baz Luhrmann's eccentric Romeo + Juliet (1996), Akira Kurosawa's Throne of Blood (1957), and even The Lion King (1994). However, the predecessor to them all is Laurence Olivier's Richard III. Released in 1955, Olivier's Richard III is like a page from a Book of Hours come to life, bursting with colour and featuring an almost cartoonish performance from Olivier himself. It is an extensively edited version of Shakespeare's text, so perhaps not the best to watch before a supervision, but perfectly captures the chilling, enthralling personality of the titular character. Because of Olivier's received pronunciation and the use of soundstages rather than on-location shooting, this adaptation can feel dated, yet there is something about it that compels one back again and again. For the English student preparing to brave the many interpretations of the Bard, Richard III is the most iconic place to start.
Other films to watch: My Own Private Idaho (1991), Titus (1999)
The Wild Card
Dev Patel as Sir Gawain in David Lowery's 'The Green Kight' (2021).INSTAGRAM @THEGREENKNIGHT
Unlike most adaptations, which simply translate the words into images, these films embody the nature of the text itself. More than just a movie, they are a chivalric romance, a satirical serial, a stream of consciousness novel, taking the essence of the literary style and embedding it in the visuals, writing, and performances. They also often leave audiences divided; David Lowery's The Green Knight (2021) is the latest in a category spanning from Barry Lyndon (1975) to High-Rise (2015). In this interpretation Dev Patel's charming yet ignorant Gawain navigates the divide between pagan and Christian, science and magic. Like the poem itself, the film takes its time, digressing to send Gawain on the occasional side quest. It embraces the medieval tropes of symbolism and allegory, surrounding Gawain with broken crosses, murdered saints, and charming enchantresses, each as visually compelling as it is thematically resonant. These "wild card" adaptations may not be the most conventional, but they are guaranteed to stick long after the credits roll.
Other films to watch: Orlando (1992), The Personal History of David Copperfield (2019)
The Green Knight': translating Medieval poetry to the screen
The end of summer and the start of university can be a nerve-wracking time – the responsibilities and stresses of life pick up once again. So, as reading lists pile up, essay prompts start rolling in and supervisions are scheduled, take some time to watch one of these movies. Brimming with love for their original source material, they remind even the most anxious English student exactly why they fell in love with literature in the first place and constitute perfect escapism material for anyone who does not study literature.

Investigation of plastic deformation of aluminum alloys using wavelet transforms of acoustic emission signals

On the example of aluminum alloy AMg5м plastic deformation and fracture under static loading was investigated. For the material being loaded, a stage of linear hardening, two stages of parabolic hardening and a fracture stage were identified. A change in the form of acoustic emission signals was established with a change in the region of strain hardening. The plastic yielding in the first region was accompanied by the formation of an acoustic emission peak, which was replaced in the next stage by high-amplitude oscillations. Further, for the region of discontinuous yielding, bursts of signals of different amplitude were observed, reflecting the dynamics of the formation of localized deformation bands. The change in the acoustic emission signals reflected the evolution of the deformation hardening processes. To describe the effect of the stagedness of deformation processes on the parameters of acoustic emission, the initial acoustic-emission signal was divided into separate time blocks. To each of these blocks, a discrete wavelet transform was applied. It characterized the time dependence of the waveform on the specific section of the strain hardening curve corresponding for each block. The obtained wavelet decomposition coefficients were processed using principal component analysis. They were plotted on the plane of the first principal components. The points of the multidimensional space corresponded to different regions were divided into partially overlapping clusters. The results of the work showed that the wavelet decomposition coefficients of acoustic emission signal could be used for diagnostics of the stages of strain hardening in aluminum alloys.

A continuous well-dosed use of lime in ponds has been proven successful for years. Especially the use of lime in fishponds has become a standard measure.
Geologically caused acid subsoils with a low buffer capacity in waters, also caused by the snow melding in the spring, can substantially lower the pH-value, so that the use of comminuted Cretaceous limestone is a remedial measure.
Cretaceous limestone neutralizes, activates, and disinfects when sufficiently large quantities of lime are applied.
Calcium is an indispensable mineral matter for the bone development of fish. Furthermore, the plantplankton benefits from the nutrient calcium. The pH-value range of ponds should be between 6.5 and 8. For this reason, the pH-value and the value for the acid binding capacity should be checked before carrying out liming measures.
Normally, every agricultural examination and research institute of each federal state in Germany offers this examination. You can contact advisory organs of the federal states, which is especially recommendable when using it for the first time.
For the liming of waters we offer cretaceous limestones with the pack sizes 25 and 50 kg and for large quantities we offer bulk transporter loadings.


I guess it's no secret that I'm jewelry obsessed, but these jewels are on a completely different level. I mean, look at that stunning piece of art! That's a statement necklace if I ever saw one. While I'm not completely into HUGE necklaces, this one is gorgeous and so I will make an exception. It reminds me something a princess would wear and is the most elaborate necklace I own….definitely one to save for those special occasions. 😉 I'm even thinking about making it into two separate necklaces so that I can wear them in a more modest way.
With all the craziness going on with Mirina Collections right now, I just thought I would do a small update.
I don't want to go into too many details about this company because there are legal worries. Although there have been some red flags, I do not know if anything that has been said is true. Therefore, I remain neutral on this topic and have decided to no longer "promote" Mirina JUST IN CASE.
I do want my readers to know that I never did subject you to any discount codes or a link to the actual product (see that I linked to an identical product elsewhere for much cheaper) because all the craziness started right before this post. I did not promote them on any social media channels. This is because I had to pay for the product and did not feel that it was right to be forced to promote something that I bought myself. Also, I did not originally write this post as promotion to this company, but only to challenge myself by styling this necklace.
I do not wish to spread hate about a company that could possibly be a misunderstanding. This post is not to bash this company, but rather to explain a situation that has come up as gracefully as I can.
Thank you so much for visiting my blog and looking to me for advice and inspiration! It means so much more than you could imagine! Just know, that you as my readers, are in my best interest and I would NEVER intentionally promote something that I didn't believe in and that I would not personally wear.

Das Schloss Niedernondorf ist ein Renaissance-Schloss in der gleichnamigen Katastralgemeinde in Waldhausen (Niederösterreich).

Geschichte
Der Ort Niedernondorf wurde im 1292 zum ersten Mal urkundlich erwähnt, das Schloss selbst aber erst am Ende des 15 Jahrhunderts. Im Dreißigjährigen Krieg wurde das Schloss 1622 von kaiserlichen Truppen niedergebrannt, aber bald wieder aufgebaut und neu eingerichtet. 1655 wird es im Gültbuch als einstöckiger Bau mit Torturm geschildert, so wie Vischer es auf seiner Topografie um 1672 zeigt. 1872 gelangte das Schloss in den Besitz der Familie Thurn-Valsassina.

Kinchega Woolshed
June 3, 2021 ~ anolddad
During our time in the Kinchega National Park we visited a 'must see' attraction; the Kinchega Woolshed.
Now that may not seem very exciting eh?. A place where sheep were sheared? Yeah! It's kind of what I thought too. But it was genuinely impressive for a number of reasons.
Historic Kinchega Woolshed
Woolsheds like this one (and there are quite a few dotted around the outback) were not just places where sheep were sheared. The whole thing was an efficient production line with the wool being packed, weighed and labelled before being shipped off. Some of the process was even semi-automated and the power required to do that was produced on site.
The woolshed from the visitors centre
Built in 1875 of corrugated iron and river red gum trees, the historic Kinchega Woolshed is a huge and incredibly well preserved classic piece of Australian pastoral heritage. During its 97 years of operation, six million sheep were sheared here. That is an amazing statistic to consider when you roam around this now silent, imposing building.
Yet again however, for me, it's not even that. I just found myself wondering how they managed to do it all in such a remote and hostile setting. That never ceases to amaze me.
The shed was first built in 1875 and the sheep station was owned by the Hughes family from that time right up to the final shearing. At its height there were four shearing areas – or "boards" – meaning that up to 64 shearers could work at any one time.
Remains of one of the old steam engines
Every spring thousands of sheep would be rounded up and routed through this woolshed. Rounding up so many sheep spread out over such huge distances was itself a monumental task in those days. Most of the herding was done by the local aboriginal people. Even today these operations still cover vast areas. These sheep station workers really are a tough lot.
The Operation…
One way ticket from here for the sheep. The shed entrance ramp.
The sheep were first held in "sweating pens" then moved to "catching pens" – generally one for each shearing point. From there the shearers took the sheep one by one and removed the wool before throwing them down the exit chute into the counting pens outside.
Once inside the sheep were segregated into "sweating" pens
The shearing "boards" showing the overhead shafts powered the shears.
Like a shorn sheep. Dani out in one of the "counting pens"
The overhead shearing gear powered a set of shears at each shearing "board" station. The shears were known as the "handpiece" or "bogeye". Over the years there were four methods of providing power to the shafts inside the shed. Steam engine, kerosine & diesel engine, petrol driven engine and finally directly by electricity. The overhead gear was modified to adapt to each change in technology.
Cutting, Baling and Weighing
Sorting, weighing and baling area.
This heritage building is wooden so needs a modern fire protection system.
The open plan area in what was the centre of the (original) building was where the wool was sorted into different grades. It was pressed, baled and weighed then labelled, ready to be sent to market. The finished bales of wool were then moved the short distance to the Darling river for transportation.
Self sufficient…
The whole set up was self sufficient with adequate water nearby and never a shortage of food on site. They would simply slaughter some of the animals.
The 'killing shed' where some animals were slaughtered to feed the workers
The workers were housed in barrack type buildings. These have recently been restored and used as accommodation for tourists, school parties etc…
The workers accommodation blocks have been restored.
Old woolshed office.
The original building was almost twice the size. The place originally had a mirror image of the sorting and shearing section, with the middle bailing and weighing section common to both. As the shearing process became more efficient the west side of the shed was no longer required and no longer stands.
In March 1967 the final shearing took place and the workers loaded 500 bales of wool. The Hughes family held a ceremony where it was announced that the woolshed would be handed over to the NSW government as an historic place worth keeping for future generations. It was then that the final and six millionth sheep was shorn.
Old Kinchega Homestead?
By comparison I found the nearby Old Kinchega Homestead fairly disappointing. Long since abandoned and derelict to the ground there is very little to see which was a shame after visiting the woolshed.
A walkway takes you around the homestead ruins.
In fact it was so bad it was difficult to make out most of what was there before it became such a ruin. I am sure there are plenty of examples like this around the many other similarly remote locations in Australia.

Q: Restrict assumption of AWS IAM Role to a specific Group The gist: I have several ECR repositories in AWS account 'B' and want to restrict actions to an 'admin-users' IAM group in account 'A'. I'm creating these resources through Cloudformation.
I have a policy on the repos that restricts actions to an 'admin-role' IAM role that lives in A. I therefore want to allow only members of 'admin-users' to be able to assume that role; however groups can't be principals and there doesn't seem to be a condition to test group membership. I believe I'm able to allow admin-users to assume admin-role through an inline policy on admin-users, but AssumeRolePolicyDocument is required on the role and I can't see any way to create a no-op assume role policy.

A: You are correct. Groups cannot currently be principles on assumed roles. This restriction has similar impact on other resources such as group access to S3.
The only way to achieve this is through the policy set on the group which can restrict which roles are assumed. However the role itself needs to allow root from the principle. Which leaves a big hole in your security.
Hopefully AWS will fix this one day.

A: You can have 2 policies:

*

*P1 in acc B which is attached to a Role in acc B and allows access to
ECR repositories.

*P2 in acc A which allows to assume the Role in acc
B and is attached to a Group in acc A

Your users are added to the Group in acc A. Therefore they get permissions (P2) to assume the Role in acc B (as in Switch role) that allows them access to ECR repositories in acc B (P1)

An 8-year-old Allentown boy's "Spam Crunchy Nuggets" recipe has earned him the title of National Spam Kid Chef.
Alex Martin-Fonseca won the blue ribbon for the recipe in the kids category last summer at the Allentown Fair's Great American Spam Championship. The category was for child chefs, ages 7 to 17.
His "Spam Crunchy Nuggets" are strips of classic Spam drenched in a flour/egg mixture, coated with sweetened corn and oat cereal crumbs, and baked until crispy. He serves the nuggets with maple syrup for dipping.
The national contest drew 650 entries, including recipes for Spam sliders, tacos, pizza rolls, wontons and stuffed peppers and a Spam doughnut sandwich.
Alex's inspiration came from the favorite food of many children: Chicken fingers.
Fun fact about Alex: He got the nickname "Spam Bandit" in 2016 after dressing up as a cowboy to cheer on his sister, who was competing in the Spam contest at the Allentown Fair. He drew attention with a handkerchief on his face and a Spam can in his hand. His sister took first place.

"Going through my collections of Sara Bareilles, Lana Del Rey, and Alice Merton – the Sarum T was a revelation (literally). From the gentle vocal inflections to the higher energies of a falsetto. It digs deep into the nuances and character of the performers. This is at a level of detail I haven't heard from many digital cables.
Not only is dialogue pristine and clear, but the emotional efforts of the performance are also in plain view. The Sarum T just breathes.
Although I realize the color isn't the most organic, it kept me listening. It shines an informative light onto the recording. "I haven't heard that before" was a recurring theme in my listening.


We are currently exploring various automatic approaches to the analysis of document content. We have defined a test corpus of 16 texts in mechanics from medieval and early Renaissance times, including the entire contents of the Filemaker Database Latin Texts, Galileo's De Motu Antiquiora, Guidobaldo del Monte's Liber Mechanicorum (1577) and In Duos Archimedis Aequeponderantium libros paraphrasis (1588), and Biancani's Aristotelis Loca Mathematica (1615). The texts are first minimally tagged in XML and are then run through the orthographic normalization modules of Arboreal. This yields a body of orthographically normalized word lists which can be run through the morphological analyzer, yielding frequency results for all lexical (i.e. dictionary) forms in all the texts.
We next compute the tf*idf score for all of these lexical forms in all the texts. This score is defined as follows (view slide). For each term i in a document j, we compute the term frequency of i in j, i.e. the number of occurrences of i in j (tf i,j). We then compute the inverse document frequency of term i by taking the log of the ratio of N, the number of documents in our corpus (16 in this case), to the document frequency of i, i.e. the number of documents in which term i occurs (dfi). A term which occurs in all documents will have inverse document frequency 0. A term which occurs very often in one document but in very few documents of the corpus will have a high inverse document frequency and thus a high tf*idf score, and is thus a strong candidate for being a term that characterizes the content of the document.
We next represent each document by a vector made up of the tf*idf score wi for each term i. (view slide) By comparing these vectors, we can arrive at a quantitative measure of the similarity of two texts to one another. The most interesting metric for these purposes seems to be the cosine similarity measure, defined as the dot product of the two vectors divided by the product of the length of the vectors. (view slide) The cosine similarity measure of two texts varies from 0 (no terms in common) to 1 (every term in both texts has the same tf*idf score).
Though still extremely crude, this approach has yielded interesting results. For example, in the first slide, one can see that Archimedes De Centris Gravium is least similar to the Mechanical Problems of Pseudo-Aristotle (in the Tomeo translation) according to the cosine similarity measure. This is in accord with the traditional division of mechanics into an Aristotelian tradition concerned with dynamics and an Archimedean tradition concerned with statics. Futhermore, it is notable that Biancani, which contains exegesis of many passages from the Mechanical Problems, is most similar to Pseudo-Aristotle, followed closely by Galileo's De Motu Antiquiora. In the second slide, we see that Archimedes De Centris Gravium is in fact not very simlar to any other text in our corpus; but it is notable that the text most similar to it is, as we might expect, Guidobaldo del Monte's In Duos Archimedis Aequeponderantium libros paraphrasis (1588) (designated as "MonteComment" in the graph). In the final slide, we may observe that the Jordanus texts form a relatively coherent group to the right.
We hope that refinement of these methods will enable us to produce a meaningful classification of documents in the Archimedes Project automatically. Three areas in particular call for further exploration: (1) We should evaluate the effect of including only a select number of lexical forms in the document vectors, say the top 10 or 20 occurring forms in each text. (2) We need to construct vectors of terms as well as documents in order to determine which terms tend to be characteristic of the same documents. This is a first step towards automatic thesaurus acquisition. (3) We need to apply the method to a large corpus of hand-tagged terms, which we have already in the case of the Latin and Arabic texts in the Filemaker databases.

It's always a good reference if a band is from South America. Their style gave some plus, something deviant to the exaggerated metal genres.
Mortem is one of the oldest South American extreme bands, but it took a long time until their first full-lenght album came out. Unlike most similar old school bands from that region, Mortem sounded like being only into death metal, they didn't mix other styles that much like others did. The thrash influences are evident, as a basic component of old school death in general, but they didn't balance on the borders of extreme genres. Their first album, "Demon Tales" was an intense debut with aggressive hammering and some insane impression, assisted strictly by occult and satanic lyrical background, and by "The Devil Speaks in Tongues" they have returned with the same awesome themes, but with better sound quality. Their second coming sounded heavier and more intense, and counted already as a nostalgic record that reminds of the old times of the geniune and remarkable South Ameican underground scene.


"Every human being is the author of his own health or disease"
The physical and emotional body has a remarkable ability to heal itself. It is incredible to watch the speed at which a small cut on the skin can heal. Your body will close the wound and repair the skin so efficiently and after a short period of time, you will no longer be able to see where the cut originally occurred. When your body is in need of healing, it will communicate to you through symptoms, such as pain and emotional unrest. This is nature's way of telling you to explore the way in which you do things, so that you make changes in your life and remove the cause of your sickness.
When you visit a homeopath, they will listen to your concerns, and select a homeopathic medicine which most closely matches both your unique personality, and your overall symptom picture. That is why a homeopath will usually spend over an hour listening to what a patient has to say.
Homeopathy is a simple form of natural medicine, the basic principles of which have been with us for hundreds of years. It is used extensively throughout the world, with links to the ancient Sanskrit writing of India, and the teaching of Hippocrates. Homeopathy as we know it today was developed by a German doctor and chemist called Samuel Hahnemann. He emphasized the need for a "permanent restoration of health". He observed that in order to obtain the maximum curative effect for the patient, it was important to identify and prescribe for the cause of the disease. A qualified homeopath will always try to understand why a patient has developed particular symptoms, before making a prescription.
Homeopathy is suitable for all age groups, and can safely be used alongside conventional medicine. During the consultation, you will have the opportunity to discuss your emotional and physical problems with someone who has time to listen. Your homeopath will work with you to help you to develop and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
A homeopathic approach, focuses on restoring and maintaining overall health and well being.

Only the nicely being & health apps with the right person experiences can really maintain customers engaged and devoted to their challenging targets. The height phase refers to the interval when the healthy financial growth starts to decelerate. It's typically the final constructive development before a contraction starts once more. It's not simple to predict when the financial expansion is likely to peak, however you have to be wary if the economy grows by 4 percent or larger as the peak will be just across the nook. Within the 2008 disaster, the height transpired in the course of the fourth quarter of 2007.

In the end, according to Marx, in a state of acute despair when the cup of misery of working class is full, they are going to overthrow the capitalist class which exploits them and on this manner the new period of socialism or communism would come into existence. Like other beneath-consumption theorists, Marx argues that driving drive behind enterprise cycles is ever increasing income inequalities and concentration of wealth and economic energy in the fingers of the few capitalists who own the means of production.
The difference between the unemployment charge and its estimated structural stage measures the power of the labor market, but additionally the potential for future inflation. At present, the unemployment price sits comfortably below NAIRU which is at the moment estimated at four.7%, suggesting a sizzling labor market, that should put upward strain on inflation. Importantly, as covered in the body of the paper, it is not the only measure of slack. Finally, it is the Fed's response to the adverse hole that will determine the fate of the enterprise cycle.

HA NOI (VNS) — Shares in the Bank for Investment and Development of Viet Nam (BID), the second largest listed bank by market capitalisation in the country, were unexpectedly removed from the two exchange-traded funds, Market Vectors Vietnam (VNM) and FTSE Vietnam.
Late Tuesday on Market Vectors ETFs' website, it announced it would remove BID shares from the VNM Index, just two days after the fund declared it would add shares in BID into the VNM Index in the third-quarter Index review.
Following the VNM ETF decision, Europe-based FTSE Vietnam ETF also announced yesterday it would delete BID shares from its Index in the third-quarter Index review, revoking its statement on September 4 that it would include BID shares in the FTSE Vietnam All-Share Index and FTSE Vietnam Index.
This is unprecedented in the history of Viet Nam's securities market.
Both VNM ETF, managed by the New York-based investment firm Van Eck Global, and FTSE Vietnam ETF under Deutsche Bank track the performance of the largest and most liquid companies in Viet Nam.
BID shares took a big hit yesterday as the shares dropped to the floor price capped at 7 per cent per day on the HCM Stock Exchange following the information.
They rose to the daily ceiling limit of 7 per cent in the two previous sessions after the information of being added to the VNM Index was revealed.
BID's prices climbed nearly 24 per cent from September 4-15, shooting from VND23,000 ($1.02) to VND28,500 ($1.27) a share, after FTSE Vietnam Index and VNM ETFs announced they would include the BID shares in their index portfolios.
Foreign investors also bought more than 10 million BID shares during this period, including 5.46 million on Tuesday.
Many stock analysts had previously predicted the BID share price could climb to VND30,000 ($1.33), which helped keep demand for the shares at a high level.
The last 10-day average trading volume for BID reached more than 2.8 million shares, higher than the average of 2.2 million shares in August.
In its announcement on September 23, VNM ETF seemed to miscalculate the number of BID final float shares, which it estimated to be 718 million shares (total outstanding shares of 3.41 billion shares minus the number of State holding of 2.69 billion shares).
This lifted the free float ratio (final float shares divided to total outstanding shares) to 21 per cent, higher than the minimum free-float ratio of 5 per cent set by the ETF.
However, the total outstanding shares in fact were just 2.81 billion shares as more than 600 million shares have yet to be listed on the exchange. This made the free-float ratio just 4.2 per cent, lower than the minimum rate of 5 per cent.
According to analyst Bach Duong on the financial website ndh.vn, BID's price will not decline sharply in the long term thanks to its financial strength.

Last month during Amazon Prime Day, the unlocked Essential Phone was available for $250. Since then, we've seen Essential sell the handset for $399 with $107 worth of accessories tossed in. If you've been waiting for the $250 price to reappear though, Amazon's latest deal on the device might be as close as you get for some time. Amazon is selling the unlocked Essential Phone in Halo Gray for $279.99.
One of the best prices we've seen.
We've seen deals on the Essential Phone in the past, and while this isn't quite as good as Prime Day pricing, it's still a heck of a deal. Right now you can get the phone in Halo Gray for just $279.99.
It comes with 128GB of internal storage, a dual camera system on the back, and it's powered by the Snapdragon 835 processor. You can also add the exclusive Essential 360 camera. Essential has already released the Android Pie update for the device as well, so you'll be able to install that as soon as you receive yours!
