Takeaway: Digital transformation can be essential for the progress of a business. However, without a detailed plan in place, most companies are likely to fail.
Digital transformation is on the mind of every CIO, and tech decision-makers are looking to migrate to the cloud for a variety of reasons, ranging from perceptions of the mainframe being outdated to reduced costs and increased productivity. Unfortunately, 451 Research found that 60 percent of enterprises had no digital transformation plan in place, pushing for digital transformation before they are ultimately ready.
A recent IDC study found almost half of IT spending will go toward cloud services in 2018, reaching 60 percent of all IT infrastructure and 60-70 percent of all software, services and technology spending by 2020. At this point in the digital age, few organizations are resisting the change as even the most traditional industries, like insurance, are incorporating digital transformation into their core business strategies. Even though the insurance industry has relied heavily on data centers for decades, a commissioned study conducted by Forrester Consulting on behalf of Ensono found that 70 percent of insurers are pushing to go digital in 2018.
Just last month, Walmart made the decision to sign a five-year cloud deal with Microsoft, citing digital transformation needs and talent acquisition as the top priority. In this case, with two million employees, ten thousand brick-and-mortar stores, a daily revenue of $1.37 billion and a booming e-commerce business, this decision has the power to increase innovation by better equipping the retail giant to analyze the real-time data created by its sales. With announcements like Walmart's being made left and right, it's easy for organizations to feel the pressure to move to the cloud or risk falling behind competition.

However, unlike Walmart, many organizations do not make a conscious effort to migrate app-by-app, with many attempting to move entire workloads to the cloud instantaneously and, in most cases, ultimately failing.
What happens when you migrate too quickly?
Even when cloud migration is done over an extended period of time, organizations can face a significant loss of operations and considerable downtime. Despite having launched digital transformation projects, more than 70 percent of CIOs find it hard to balance performance across their IT estates with innovation. Chances are, the organizations still operating out of data centers aren't choosing a physical infrastructure because they lack the ability to move to the cloud. Instead, the resources and manpower needed to successfully migrate have to be funneled away from the day-to-day operations, creating a deficit. (For more on CIOs, check out CFO and CIO: How to Smooth out Conflicting Roles.)
Rushing into a digital transformation without the proper planning or organizational structure has the potential to not only stall business operations, but severely handicap them by leaving infrastructure open to cybersecurity gaps due to oversight. Currently a startling 80 percent of enterprises are either completely blind or have gaps in cloud monitoring that can allow bad actors to exploit vulnerabilities.
Ponemon Institute estimates the average data breach cost $3.5 million in 2017, so in addition to the irreparable damage that accompanies a data breach, organizations can be faced with a hefty bill on top of the migration costs if data is jeopardized. These gaps can easily be narrowed if organizations proceed to the cloud with caution.
Like any good decision-making process, the move to the cloud has to start with a plan long before any action takes place. Moving entire workloads to the cloud in one sweep can be a recipe for disaster, so it's important to conduct preplanning research in order to gain a better understanding of what the goals of this migration entail.

As part of this process, CIOs can reap an unexpected benefit of gaining a deeper understanding of their organizations, since it's important to know how the different departments and their IT needs will be affected by this migration. In order to do so, CIOs need interviews with key stakeholders to build an extensive plan. Taking the time to use this information to answer questions like, "Which apps are critical?" and "Which apps are not?" will minimize the impact of this migration on the business as a whole. By learning from stakeholders and developing a greater understanding of the organization, it's possible to plan outage windows that minimize impact on day-to-day business and make better recommendations on what pieces to move.
It's also important to consider what operations will look like post-migration. Often, many organizations devote so much time and focus into the actual migration that there isn't a plan in place moving forward. Cloud migrations never truly end, as the environments need to evolve with the business, so without the proper management, they will crumble. Considering questions like, "What's your plan for adding capacity as your organization grows?" or "Do you have a contingency plan in case one of your environments suffers an outage?" in addition to determining governance will help set a cloud infrastructure up for success.
How do you ensure smooth sailing?
Cost savings are the driving factor of cloud migration for 70 percent of IT and business leaders, with hopes for increased profitability and productivity being the runner up. But if a migration is unsuccessful, these three areas can be negatively impacted as organizations fumble to maintain operations.
Working with a managed service provider while undergoing a digital transformation can drastically improve the process. While an IT department can be weighed down by operational noise, an MSP can act as a reliable third party to help assess different cloud providers, hybrid IT opportunities and minimize the overall complexity of the process. But by working together to complete the digital transformation journey, it's entirely possible to move to the cloud in an ordered process without losing performance or risking cybersecurity.

United Nations Security Council Resolution 114, adopted unanimously on June 4, 1956, after receiving a report from the Secretary-General the Council noted that progress had been made towards the adoption of the specific measures set out in United Nations Security Council Resolution 113 but that full compliance with the General Armistice Agreements and a host of Council Resolutions had not yet been effected.  The Council declared that all parties to the Armistice Agreements should cooperate with the Secretary-General and the Chief of Staff of the United Nations Truce Supervision Organization in Palestine and that United Nations observers must be given full freedom of movement.

The Council further requested that the Chief of Staff report to them whenever any action undertaken by one party to an Armistice Agreement constitutes a serious violation of that agreement and that the Secretary-General continue his good offices with the parties and report to them as appropriate.

Will bring about nationalist brexit type hysteria..
Newres must be hoping England lose..😂

SirWilliam
Apart from the obvious reason I really do hope we win it because it will so p**s off the french that they never will agree to a brexit deal and we shall be stuck in limbo land for eternity..........Or at least till we have a government that carries out the wish of the majority without pandering to a few wooly-headed europhiles.
newres
I always love how non football fans become experts and Uber enthusiasts during a modest World Cup run. It has to be said that we'll never have a better chance with all the top teams out.
Re: Brexit. I think TM seems to be doing a good job. I think ultimately the country will be worse off as for once Rees Mogg is correct, we'll still be doing as the EU require but now we won't have a say. The whole thing is daft, but the government are going to deliver Brexit to the thickires without bankrupting the country.
QUOTE (newres @ Jul 7 2018, 08:42 PM)
"Modest World Cup Run".... Speaks volumes. You must hate all those working class people waving the flag of st george... Scum eh? How dare those thickires (whatever they are) love the country they live in? They should be waving an EU flag...😂😂😂
QUOTE (TallDarkAndHandsome @ Jul 7 2018, 09:11 PM)
Have you got a flag hanging out of your bedroom window? Somehow I doubt it. I do admit losing interest in top flight football in recent years but I still regularly watch my home city league 1 team where there's not a prawn sandwich in sight. If we're going all inverted snobbery, my credentials are probably better than yours. I do hope England win but I rather suspect the thick racists (Brexiteers) will use it as a rallying call. Daft ofcourse but it'll be lapped up by the flag wavers.
Anyway, TDH, who do you support and have you got a season ticket?
Stoke through thick and thin... And used to. Always a potter. When your from clarice cliff stock you have no choice....
Ah, a junkie then. That explains it.
QUOTE (newres @ Jul 8 2018, 05:50 AM)
Very droll. Footballs coing home fella. England flags everywhere. You must hate it. When do they remove our star from that wretched EU flag??
Why do you support Stoke now you've moved to Berkshire, the 'Tebbitt test' says you ought to be supporting Reading.
Stoke, like many areas devastated by global trading benefits hugely from EU funding. That's gonna end soon although the UK government has committed to supporting existing projects. I guess now that you're a "big shot IT guy" it means nothing to you. Shame on you.
I'm not bothered by the England flags although I think it's a bit tacky. Fortunately there aren't any where I live.
I think the word is "blinkered".
You know nothing of Stoke. 70% voted leave due in most part to the failure of the EUl.
https://brexitcentral.com/brexit-must-refre...u-failed-reach/
But then you only take in news that suits your agenda.
Yes, the rundown of the industrial heartlands of England is a very sorry situation. It's been going on awhile now; root causes down to poor UK management and lack of financial support for business, a problem not caused by but simply made worse by our membership of EU. Hardly surprising that the indigenous population emigrate South when they get the chance, but against today's backdrop, surprising the population in the South don't object and even make them welcome.
Yes, interesting isn't it? Many of these areas blame immigrants for their plight. Social deprivation and lack of education makes them easy prey to the rubbish that's peddled.
The huge irony here was so well illustrated in 'The Boys from the Blackstuff' - when the decline of English manufacturing started, many of us can remember the hordes of British building workers from the North flooded into Germany!
Or they could just love the Country they live in, despite all of the deprivation whilst the social snobs leer at them for being "uneducated". I remember my roots. I pity your kids, if you have any.
Why did you emigrate then TDH?
Most firms encourage working from home, so seriously, might be worth thinking of returning. You'd be able to get a mansion being able to sell at Berkshire prices. If we could get enough of your compatriots to follow suit, we'd start balancing the north south divide again.
QUOTE (On the edge @ Jul 8 2018, 07:14 PM)
Yes, **** off back.
I've lived here all my life, not just pitched up from London because you dont like it in that part of the world anymore. If anyone should **** off back it should be you my little remoaning foe.😂
Really interesting, are you a second or third generation? Your continued affection for Stoke and support for its football club illustrates just how difficult it is for incomers to quickly integrate and assimilate the ways of their adopted community. Did you find it difficult at school because of your difference; or were there other kids in similar circumstances so the effect was diluted?
What a load of old pony.
So you're not actually from Stoke at all. What a liar.
Going well.
Surprising for someone in IT, nothing you say computes!
Yes; might as well come out with our hands up now.
Really frightening bit comes next. Presumably the likes of Rees-Mogg and Johnson come in as 'serious contenders'.
So, little wonder the pundits are bigging up the football either way it goes, national attention will be deflected.....triples all round.

In my opinion, David Davis couldn't negotiate his away out of a paper bag so I'm not that fussed to see the back of him. The new guy, Dominic Raab, looks quite intelligent from his CV so hopefully this might be an improvement.
QUOTE (James_Trinder @ Jul 9 2018, 01:22 PM)
The problem is that the circle can't be squared. Brexiteers are deluded in thinking we just need to be tougher and we'll get what we want. A bit like raising our voices and speaking slowly so the foreigners understand.
So if Brexit is reversed please don't complain when legal challenges are launched and millions march in London.
This may be the end of the political system as we know it.
You may get your wish... but just watch what happens if it does.
Chaos will ensue. And it will be a **** of a lot worse than Brexit or even full WTO.
Forgive my ignorance but I was under the impression that the brexiteers wanted to leave the EU, period? No negotiating,no divorce payment just complete separation. Now I appreciate that it ain't quite that simple but it is what the majority voted for and anything less is an affront to democracy.
The way things are going on the domestic front there is every likelihood that we could have a snap election in the autumn and the whole in/out debacle will be resurrected. One could use the phoenix analogy but at least that particular bird had the decency to die before being reborn.

Did you see Juncker and Tusk? They were laughing. Stupid British.
#ItsStillComingHome
Football is coming home. Why? Because finally the English FA has good it right by focusing on the U16 to U21 national teams that can feed the senior one. Alan Hanson once said you're never going to win anything with kids. Well these kids have won the hearts and minds and I've every confidence they'll win the trophy. Football is coming home!
I am very much a Remainer but if we have to carry on with this madness that is Brexit then we should at least try to get the best deal possible. If I had my way then we would end this farce by having a second referendum and then simply carry on with the status quo as a result. However, I can't see that happening because the ideological zealots who originally championed Brexit are not pragmatic enough to accept the reality of the hardship that it is going to cause economically.
QUOTE (James_Trinder @ Jul 10 2018, 12:28 PM)
I suspect you are right; clearly we aren't coming out, in part or at all.
Yes, we all now have little choice other than to accept the creeping economic hardship that will be ours, not now perhaps, but in fifteen or twenty years hence. Still, it suits our 'one size fits all' further educational system; from no on, we really don't need innovative entreprenures, just supervisors. I'm not worried for our generation, but for our kids; what an awful legacy.
Still, at least the Conservatives demonstrate admirable consistency; party comes before country.
Who immediately causes chaos in the house with his shambolic and disrespectful distribution of the white paper.
It might be madness, but the EU has some massive problems and is not interested in reform, we should announce that we are simply walking away and will only pay that which is due. Sometimes it is worth sacrificing the short term for sake of the long term.
QUOTE (Andy Capp @ Jul 14 2018, 03:59 AM)
Totally agree. And it's been the issue for years. Right now, the negotiating philosophy of the EU executive defies logic. Yes, there would be some short term pain, but we'd have a far better future trading with people who might be unpleasant, but at least are honest.
I have always been under the impression that business is business and friendship is an unwelcome distraction. The EU are behaving like petulant school kids while our "leaders" adopt an unedifying display of sycophantic grovelling to be allowed a few crumbs of their approval.
Not to many would like to share a room with D.Trump esq but he says what he means and in a world of political duplicity I find it quite refreshing. Brexit will still be debated when today's teenagers are drawing their pensions unless we have a collective agreement on what we actually want as opposed to what some want us to have.
QUOTE (SirWilliam @ Jul 14 2018, 08:46 AM)
Yes, absolutely! Rather worrying, have we really lost our commercial savvy, or perhaps we never had it in the first place?
He's a proven liar so how is that not duplicitous?
QUOTE (newres @ Jul 14 2018, 05:14 PM)
I suppose the trouble is that most politicians are exactly the same these days. For instance, George Osbourne wasn't squeaky clean in this regard and he was our Chancellor. Tony Blair is another shining example. That's just a random two from over here. I wholly agree this modern approach is in no way acceptable, but very sadly, it gets short term results. Nonetheless, it leaves people bitter and cynical. For me, I had a great awakening when I realised that who seemed a genuine fact driven university professor of 'Europen Studies' made the case for staying; based on a totally bogus interpretation of historic fact.
QUOTE (On the edge @ Jul 14 2018, 06:05 PM)
I just dislike the fanaticism of the newres types. Brain washed by the MSM. No individuality. In Sy Fy terms... The borg.
QUOTE (TallDarkAndHandsome @ Jul 14 2018, 07:00 PM)
Yeah, CNN, BBC etc. Fake news!
But re: brainwashed by mainstream news. I go against the mainstream. I think US foreign policy is responsible for the extremists we are seeing, I think we should take in genuine asylum seekers from the havoc we contributed to. My views are not mainstream at all. I don't automatically blame Russia for the Salisbury poisoning's, I was sympathetic to Irish republicanism. I am not a product of "MSM". You are!
Methinks you doth protest too much...at least we have established you are a "red in the bed" and a terrorist sympathizer.😂 Personally I think Irish republicanism (another name for terrorism) is abhorrent. I dont think killing people solves anything and yes that includes Syria, Afghanistan, Libya etc. As for not thinking its Russia. The clue is in the name. Novichok. Amazing what you can do with these e cigs and the liquid you use for them these days....
You see you are the product of mainstream news. I've always been a free and independent thinker.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I'm not defending the chap but he should be accepted for what he is, not what people want him to be. All politicians lie, though some are more adept than others. Most of Trump's perceived deceit is down to misinterpretation of his words, not blatant dishonesty as is being banded about by the rabble that is making a laughing stock of this country with their pathetic protesting.
QUOTE (SirWilliam @ Jul 14 2018, 08:43 PM)
Newres is never wrong SirWill. Dont you know that by now???😂😂
Where have vapes been blamed for the poisoning on the MSM?
Ah, just revert to lying about where you're from to gain "street cred". You're like Kevin Perry's mate after he's visited Manchester. Did you go here to hone your Stoke heritage?

Das Neutor war ein historisches Stadttor der Stadt Graz. Es stand von 1620 bis 1883/84 im ehemaligen Kälbernen Viertel im Bezirk Innere Stadt. Die heutige Neutorgasse ist nach der Toranlage benannt.

Geschichte und Gestaltung
Im Zuge des Stadtausbaus Richtung Südwesten wurde das Neutor um 1620 errichtet. Es schloss das Kälberne Viertel, das seinen Namen von den Schlachtbänken hatte, mit in die Stadtbefestigung ein. Das Viertel lag bis zu diesem Zeitpunkt außerhalb der mittelalterlichen Stadtmauer. Das Neutor stand an der Kreuzung Kalcherberggasse/Neutorgasse. Den ursprünglich kleinen Baukörper erweiterte man in der Folgezeit zu einem zweistöckigen und bewohnten Torhaus mit annähernd quadratischem Grundriss. Das Gebäude war bewohnt und beherbergte einen Militärwachposten.

1780/90 erhielt die Außenseite eine klassizistische Fassade mit Zopfdekoration. Stadtseitig besaß das Neutor drei Toröffnungen: das Haupttor mit einem Rustikaportal, ein kleineres mittleres Portal und ein vermauertes Steinportal. Eine Besonderheit der Tordurchfahrt war die s-förmige Krümmung, die das Passieren erschwerte.

Im 19. Jahrhundert lag östlich der Anlage der botanische Garten des nahen Joanneums, westlich davon befand sich noch die ehemalige Neutorbastei mit dem Merangarten samt Gastwirtschaft. Um 1860 fällten Stadt und Land den Beschluss zur Erweiterung des Joanneums durch einen Neubau und den Bau der Landesbibliothek. Die Gartenanlagen wurden verkauft, das Neutor 1883 abgetragen und die Grazer Hauptpost sowie das neue Joanneum und der Justizpalast errichtet.

- [Tutor] Let's talk about one of the most fundamental ideas in science and that is the notion of energy and energy definitely has some meaning in our everyday life, if we kind of imagine things that are moving or hot or bright as being energetic, but what I wanna talk about in this video is a more formal definition of it, a more scientific definition and the most typical one, that's often given is the ability to do work, ability to do and I'm gonna put work in quotes, because the notion of work here isn't the everyday notion of work, where you go to your job and you work nine to five and you get paid, work in a physics context is a little bit, it's not completely unrelated to our everyday notion of work, but I'll give you an example just to get a better idea of it, so let's say that you have some object here and you were to apply a force, you were to apply a force in that direction and the magnitude of that force, let's say it's 10 newtons and if the units, newtons in force isn't too familiar to you, don't worry too much, but you can also review it on those videos on Khan Academy, but you apply a force to the right on this object and by doing that you're able to move the object, you're able to displace the object in the same direction as that force, so you're able to displace it, let's say 10 meters, so after you've done it, the object, the object is right over here, so when you do this, you apply a force and it's causing the object to be displaced in the direction of that force, you would say that work has been performed and the amount of work that has been performed would be 10 newtons times 10 meters and so 10 times 10, it would be equal to 100 and then the units are newton meters of work, 100 newton meters, 'cause you're multiplying newtons times meters of newton meters of work and newton meters, that has been defined as the joule, which is the unit of work and also the unit of energy, so this is the same thing as 100, I could write it out as joules, 100 joules or we could just abbreviate it with a J, so 100 joules of work has been performed here by moving this, so we've done something here and this is considered to be work, 100 joules of work, if we move this twice as far, then it would be 200 joules of work and so energy is the ability to do this type of work. Now let's look at these pictures here, which are depicting different forms of energy and let's see if we can identify the forms of energy and then think about how they can relate to actually doing work. So if we look at the fire here, there's some maybe obvious forms of energy, we have some thermal energy, fires are definitely hot, so thermal energy, but we should think about what is thermal energy fundamentally? A system's temperature is really about the average kinetic energy of its molecules, so thermal energy is really about the energy of movement, it's really about all these little molecules here, because of the combustion reaction going on, they're getting excited and they have higher kinetic energy and so the temperature goes up, their average kinetic energy goes up, so thermal energy is really a form of energy due to movement and the general term for energy due to movement is kinetic energy, so thermal energy is really a form of kinetic, kinetic, kinetic energy. You also have light being emitted, that has energy as well, we call that radiant energy, so that light being emitted, that's the reason why we can see this fire, radiant, radiant energy. Now you might say, "Okay, maybe that's all of the energy in the system," but I'll say no, there's another form of energy and actually even in this picture, that's probably where most of the energy is and that's potential energy, so where is the potential energy? Well, it's sitting in the bonds of the fuel over here, so these are either chips of wood or charcoal of some kind, but these are formed by carbon-carbon bonds, so you have these carbon-carbon bonds and they could be bonded to other carbons or other things and they're also going to be bound to some hydrogens here and there, so you're gonna have, you're gonna have bonds like this, that actually store energy in them, they have the potential to be released, if you're able to break these bonds, those electrons are gonna get into a lower energy state, or they might bond with other things and in the process, they're going to release energy, that's gonna be radiant energy and thermal/kinetic energy, so how does this happen? How do these bonds actually get broken? Well, that's our good old friend, the combustion reaction, that's our good old friend, the combustion reaction, where you take some oxygen, you take some heat or we could say some energy, so it takes a little energy to get started, that's why you might have to light this with a match to begin with, so oxygen plus energy, plus energy and then you could say plus these carbon-carbon bonds and you could say plus you know, whatever it is, these fuels, which are made out of carbon, either charcoal or wood, so plus, I'll do it like this, I'll draw some carbon-carbon bond right over here, that's going to combust and I'll do this in a color, so that is going to, I'm really having trouble changing colors, this is going to combust, combust and it's going to release, it's going to release water, because the fuel has hydrogens in it, it's going to release carbon dioxide and it's going to release a lot more energy, I'll do that in caps, it's going to release a lot more energy and that energy we see in the form of the kinetic energy of the molecules and the radiant energy being emitted. Now you might say, "Okay, I can buy that, "I have this potential energy here," and this potential energy that's in the bonds between these atoms, we call that chemical potential, so we have chemical, chemical potential energy, potential, potential energy is right over there, but you might say, "Okay, I buy that, "the chemical energy is being converted "into the thermal energy and the radiant energy," and this is actually an interesting point, energy, this is the law of conservation of energy, energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be converted from one form or another, but you might be saying, "Okay, I can convert from one form to another, "but how can this actually do work "in the way that I've even depicted here?" Well, the entire Industrial Revolution is all about trying to convert from one form of energy to another and also to do work, so a steam engine is fundamentally based upon combustion, heating up some steam and then that steam can expand and then it can push a piston to do all sorts of things, including move a train, combustion is what's going on in your car engines, where the pistons are expanding due to the thermal energy and then that helps drive the drive train of the actual car, so it can clearly do work. So here we have some other examples, this is lightning and so when you see the lightning, there's something clearly very kinetic is going on, you have electrons, you have electrons moving from the cloud, from the cloud to the ground and you might say, so this right over here, that is, you could say that's kinetic energy, kinetic, kinetic energy and you might say, "Well, how can I do work with that?" Well, that's what the whole electronics industry is all about, that's what power lines are all about, movement of electrons, that's current and current can be used to do all sorts of amazing things, you can actually have an electric motor is one way to actually do it, so that's kinetic energy there, there's clearly radiant energy going on, we can see the lightning and that radiant energies do, because the air gets ionized and gets heated and so there's also thermal energy, as the electrons go down, there's heat that is actually being generated. Now, where did this energy come from? It just doesn't come from anywhere, well, you have all of this potential energy, that starts building up in these clouds as the water vapor rises and the mechanism isn't fully understood of how this happens, but because of energy from the sun, you have water vapor rising, as the water vapor rises through the clouds, the bottom part of the cloud becomes more negative, it becomes more electron rich and the top part of the cloud become more positive and so you have these electrons, that really wanna get down here onto the ground, because the air above the ground becomes more negative, the ground starts becoming more positive and so you can imagine these electrons, more and more wanna get down here, but this air isn't a natural conductor, but once the electric potential gets high enough, these electrons find a way, the air essentially gets ionized and the electrons are able to find a path, so while this is all building up, you have this electrostatic potential building, so this is electrostatic, static, you can't see it that well, electrostatic potential and how this forms, once again, it's an area that people are still, there's some good theories out there about how this forms, but it's not 100% well established and over here in this third old drawing of this person doing a handstand dive, this is probably the most typical example of potential energy being converted into kinetic energy that you might find in a physics textbook. Over here at the top of the diving board, this gentleman has potential energy by virtue of his position and over here, it's very clear he has the potential to fall and it has the potential to turn it into kinetic energy and so once he falls over, at this point, most of his potential energy has been converted into kinetic energy, so here it's potential, here it's potential and here it is kinetic, kinetic energy. So the big takeaway is energy has the ability to do work, it cannot be created or destroyed, but it can be converted from one form to another and all of the forms at their essence, you can really think about them in two big buckets, you can think about them as potential energy or kinetic energy, or kinetic energy and as a last example, you might say, "Well, how can this guy do work?" Well, you can imagine if there was some type of system here, new system here, where, you know, we'll create some machinery, maybe there's a pulley right over here and then it's lifting a weight right over here, well, if he jumped on this, he won't fall down as fast, but then if, as long as he's heavier than this weight, it's gonna pull this down and then this weight is gonna go up, so he has the potential to do work by virtue of his position, there just isn't this pulley system there to get that actual work done.

espressOH! | How (G)I-DLE Soyeon Rose From the Ashes of P101
From failing audition after audition to not making into I.O.I... to killing it on stage with (G)I-DLE
by Mogwai
(G)I-DLE's charismatic leader and main rapper Soyeon has come a long way since ranking outside the top 11 on Produce 101. This was how Jeon Soyeon evolved from that little rapper into the rising star that she is now.
The Beginning: Produce 101
I still remember being utterly unimpressed by Soyeon's first appearance on Produce 101. The other Cube girls were forgettable, but I remember Soyeon because I was that confused as to why she was graded an A. I gotta be honest, I found her rapping grating and failed to see why exactly Cheetah was so impressed by her. To me, she was just another idol rapper with nothing new to offer and her performances throughout the season did little for me. In a sea of so many other pretty and talented girls, Soyeon didn't stand out in a good way to me and voters ultimately agreed by the end of the whole thing.
Her Produce 101 stint ended without her making it into the final 11 and I remained unmoved.
Unpretty Rapstar
In hindsight, Unpretty Rapstar was a slightly more fitting avenue for a girl as sharp-clawed and rough around the edges as Soyeon. But for me, back then, Unpretty Rapstar was just another Korean hip-hop show that had run its course, having lost its novelty and appeal by its third season. It looked like South Korea agreed, too, because none of the songs from the season left much of an impact on them. But, unfortunately, that was how I missed out on Soyeon destroying Coolkid in a diss rap battle.
She was in her element there, ruthless and fierce beyond belief. I actually ended up feeling bad for Coolkid when I finally watched this. The girl looked as if she was on the verge of tears, good god, I don't think I've ever seen anyone this shaken on national television, ever. Heck, she looked even worse than the one time I accidentally opened a video file of Sadako coming out of the well in Ringu as a kid. Had I actually seen Soyeon do this at the time, I probably would've changed my opinion of her right there and then. Alas, I didn't. And neither did the majority of her country.
Solo Debut 'Jelly'
And then Soyeon moved on to her solo debut 'Jelly' in November 2017. This was our first glimpse of her songwriting ability but… she did nothing impressive here either. I have to say that 'Jelly' was, and still is, one of the most irritating songs I've ever had the displeasure of listening to. I could hardly get past the whole song. Even as a fan now, I honestly still loathe everything about it. It's safe to say that South Korea felt more or less the same way because she never debuted on Gaon with it either.
The Rise of Jeon Soyeon, The Leader of (G)I-DLE
Now comes an era where Soyeon finally gnaws her way into my wallet and everything's beginning to fall into place. (G)I-DLE's 'LATATA' took some time to grow on me but when it finally did, god damn. I'm now convinced that it's the strongest debut we've seen in a while and the fact that Soyeon is credited as a songwriter definitely impressed me. Very few idols have anything of this level under their song production belts their entire career. Jeon Soyeon did it upon (G)I-DLE's debut and finally scored a respectable new peak on Gaon as well as Billboard's World Digital Songs with it.
By the time 'Hann' rolled around, Soyeon completed her transformation into this confident, charismatic performer whose leadership brings out the best in (G)I-DLE. Just watch her performance on Melon Music Awards 2018. She absolutely owned that stage. It made all her attempts on Produce 101 look like high school pantomimes.
You see, I was wrong to dismiss her. All of her previous flubs didn't mean that she was never going to amount to anything. Back in Produce 101 era, Soyeon was still just a diamond in the rough. Having to bend and break in order to fit into that perfect I.O.I mould, rather than the reverse, just did nothing to bring out her real potential.
Being in (G)I-DLE meant that Cube Entertainment could capitalise on Soyeon's improved songwriting ability while her natural fierceness was allowed to flourish and thrive alongside other promising ladies. Now, she has become a genuine force forged through years of sheer determination. Soyeon went from failing audition after audition to playing with the big leagues, scoring a massively successful collaboration with gaming giant League of Legends, along with Miyeon. This little spitfire may not have won the Produce 101 battle but she's definitely well on her way to winning the war.
Let's just hope she and (G)I-DLE keep up this momentum.

Finding Floods
Posted by Nicole D'Entremont
· Tuesday, November 5th, 2019
By: Simon Pendleton, WHOI Postdoctoral Scholar
Fortunately, Kingsley was there to keep us on schedule.
While September may be the end of the summer season in upstate New York lake country, it is prime time to go lake coring! Earlier this fall the CRL group took a break from marine excursions to pack up the coring equipment and head inland in search of glacial lake sediments.
Building off of work done back in 2005 by our intrepid leader, Jeff Donnelly, we were on a mission to find evidence for glacial lake outburst floods that originated in northwest New York ~14-13,000 years ago. As the Laurentide Ice Sheet (LIS) retreated northward through New England following the Last Glacial Maximum ~20,000 years ago, meltwater from the ice sheet collected in the topographic depression at the ice margin (a result of the mass of the LIS pushing down on the crust). Of particular interest to this project is the meltwater that collected in northwest New York and modern-day Ontario, forming Glacial Lake Iroquois that was bounded by topographic highs to the south and dammed by the LIS to the north.
Depiction of Glacial lake Iroquois and its drainage through the Champlain lowlands and out the Hudson River Valley during deglaciation (Illustration by Jack Cook, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution).
However, as the LIS continued to retreat northward, isostatic rebound of the crust and changes to the position of the northern ice margin would change the lake basin shape and open up new flow paths and channels. During the high stand of Lake Iroquois, the retreat of the LIS in northern New York exposed a new flow path that caused catastrophic drainage of Lake Iroquois into what is today northern Lake Champlain before turning south and eventually draining out the Hudson River Valley into the Atlantic Ocean.
Paleoshoreline features (e.g., raised beaches, deltas, and lake sediments) in New York and Vermont suggest that drainage events such as this continued to occur as the LIS retreated northward. What is still unknown is the precise timing of these lake level lowering events which was the goal of the coring excursion this September.
An 1820s farmhouse AirBnB was our base of operations was literally at the end of the road, but not a bad place to work from!
Loading up trusty Truck 30 with the R/V Arenaria, lab manager Nicole, interns Isabella and Phoenix, new postdoc Simon, and of course, field pup Kingsley, we all made the trek up to Gouverneur, NY. Our 1820s farmhouse AirBnB was very pastoral and only a little spooky and (more importantly) placed us in between the lakes we hoped to core. Our objective was to core lakes deep enough to obtain the transition between minerogenic glacial lakes sediments and the overlying organic-rich lake sediments. The hypothesis here is that when each of these modern lakes were part of the larger glacial Lake Iroquois they would have been receiving meltwater and sediment from the LIS and preserving laminated silts and clay. Once the lake level drained and isolated these lakes to their approximately modern configuration, they would have begun to preserve more organic-rich lake sediments. Therefore, if we are able to date the transition between glacial lake sediments and organic-rich lake sediments, that transition should correspond to the lake level lowering event.
(L to R) Phoenix, Isabella, and Nicole are pretty excited that 1) we haven't sunk the boat, 2) it's not raining (yet), and 3) we got our first cores!
So out we went to our first lake to set up the vibracore equipment and get our first cores. After a day of knocking the rust of our coring skills, along with some help from local lake residents and the timely arrival of Jeff, we started pulling in cores with organic-rich mud at the top and glacial mud on the bottom! Soon we were becoming an efficient team, and despite a temperamental generator, managed to pull several cores from our first lake, including some larger 12 m ones!
In the end, we were able to core 4 separate lakes, retrieving several cores from each for a total of 21 cores and ~130m of lake sediments. In the end, none of it would have been possible without the awesome CRL research team!
Now that we are back in Woods Hole, Phoenix and Bella have been hard at work splitting the cores. We've even started getting a look at some of the glacial to non-glacial transitions:
An example of a transition from glacial (gray much on right) to non-glacial (darker mud on left) sediments (core top to left).
Next up: digging through meters upon meters of mud to find organic material to radiocarbon dates in hope of constraining the timing of the transition; stay tuned!

News Inspector General of Police (IGP),Muhammadu Buhari
Buhari urges Senate to confirm Arase as PSC chair, others
Joy Odor Jan 25, 2023
Solomon Arase, Former inspector-General of Police
President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday asked the Senate to confirm the appointment of Solomon Arase, a former Inspector-General of Police (IGP), as the new chairman of Police Service Commission (PSC).
In a letter to the Senate which was read by Ahmed Lawan, the president of the Senat, Buhari said the appointment was in accordance with the provision of section 154 (1) of the 1999 constitution as amended.
Arase, if confirmed by the Senate, will replace Musliu Smith, also a former IGP.
Also, the president has forwarded two names to the Senate for confirmation as Resident Electoral Commissioners (REC) for Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

The nominees are Mahmuda Isah, from Kebbi State whose appointment is for renewal, and Mann Omobayi Alli, from Ondo State, who is for new appointment.
Another letter received by the Senate is for the appointment of five members of the Code of Conduct Bureau. They are Murtala Kankia, from Katsina, to represent the northwest; Zephaniah Ishaku Bulus, from Nasarawa, representing the north-central, and Farouq Umar, from Yobe, to represent the northeast.
Others are Abdulsalam Taofiq Olawale from Ondo State, southwest, and Juwayriya Badamasiuy, from Kogi State, to represent the north-central.
The president, therefore, urged the Senate to consider and confirm all the appointments in the usual expeditious manner.
The Senate is, however, yet to take any legislative action on the letters for the various appointments as senators are eager to suspend plenary to join the campaign trains of their various political parties for the forthcoming general elections.

Numbered from the edition of 50 on the front of the base.
This work is stamped with the 'MADOURA PLEIN FEU' pottery stamp on the back of the base and inscribed 'EDITION PICASSO' on the front of the base.
Extraordinary for the remarkably small edition size of only fifty, coupled with a modern sensibility and brilliant natural clay color, Pablo Picasso ceramic Grosse tete, profil droit, 1965 is a rare and fantastic sculpture. Picasso reduces the general form to its most basic and expressive state. This sense of simplicity is amplified by the crisp white surface of the natural white clay. The white clay, coupled with the simplified design merge to create an expressive sense of movement, as if the figure was captured while walking or dancing. This interest in simplicity, sometimes referenced as primitivism, reflects Picasso's modern sensibility and interest in decorative reduction.
Created in 1965, this clay sculpture has handwritten inscriptions on the sides of the sculptural base – one side reads, 'MADOURA' and the other 'EDITION PICASSO | Numbered from the edition of 50.' Some natural kiln markings on the left and bottom of the base, which does not affect the image, overall in excellent condition.
1. Listed and illustrated in the following: Ramié, Alain. Picasso Catalogue of the edited ceramic works 1947-1971. Madoura: 1988.
This freestanding clay sculpture is best enjoyed in an environment where it is accessible from all sides. Pedestals are often an appropriate way to showcase larger ceramic pieces. In some instances, collectors have chosen to encase their freestanding sculptures under traditional museum bonnets. Museum bonnets are transparent acrylic cubes constructed with one open side that can be placed over the work as an added layer of protection from an unpredictable environment. If you are placing the work in an area where it might be touched or disturbed, a museum bonnet is an excellent conservation solution that can be custom made to fit over the sculpture. If you would like more information on freestanding sculptural placement and/or reinforcement, please feel free to contact us at any time.

Twitch has previously allowed users of its platform pay for a subscription using bitcoin (BTC) and bitcoin cash (BCH) through blockchain payments processor Bitpay. However, according to users of the platform, for the past few weeks, the platform has removed this pavement option.
Going by a Tweet made from Twitch.tv verified account some weeks back, Bitcoin was listed as one of the payment options available to its users.
Confirming the exclusion of crypto payments from its list of options, users of the popular social bookmarking platform, Reddit, further confirmed that his company normally pay for the subscription on the platform using BCH. However, some weeks back, their subscriptions were cancelled and they were notified by Twitch that the option is no longer available.
This removal of crypto payment option is coming at a time where the market has become a little bit stable and less volatile than it was earlier on. In the past, issues such as price volatility have affected the adoption of crypto by well-meaning tech giants. For example, Microsoft, suspended bitcoin payments on its store last January. The tech giant citing "instability." However, Microsoft promises to reinstate the option as time goes on.
In the same light, online gaming platform— Steam also dropped its bitcoin payments feature in late 2017. The platform cited high transaction fees and volatile price as the main problem.
It is important to note that transitional fees on bitcoin transactions are currently the lowest ever recorded.

Comedy Central's "The President Show" To Poke Fun At President With Trump Impersonator
BY Andrew Santiago | April 4, 2017 AT 11:00 am
By Andrew Santiago April 4, 2017 at 11:00 am
Splitsider / Twitter
In a press release out yesterday, Comedy Central dropped a preview of their new weekly show, "The President Show." Featuring comedian Anthony Atamanuik, heralded as the best Trump impersonator around, in the role of President Trump, the release claims it will throw out the rule book, just as our commander in chief is throwing out his predecessor's rulebook.
New late night show "The President Show" will make fun of Trump by just being honest about who he is.

Is it scary or hilarious that you wouldn't be surprised if our president said these things? Many comedians and TV producers have expressed how difficult they have found it to make fun of Trump, because his comments and scandals are outlandish beyond their abilities.
Even Trey Parker and Matt Stone, the hilarious duo behind the last twenty seasons of "South Park," said it's tough to make fun of Trump .

Parker: "It's really tricky now, uh, because satire has become reality."
Parker and Stone, who made Mr. Garrison into a fusion of Trump and Darth Vader — the most villainous villain of all time — claimed to be having a hard time making fun of Trump.

Parker and Stone spent the entire last season of "South Park" writing a character that resembled, acted and said some of the same things Trump did on the campaign trail. If they are throwing their hands up on how to write a Trump-like character going forward because he's too ridiculous, will the folks behind this new show be able to keep up?
It's not the first time Comedy Central released a show created to mock a sitting president.
Via: Vandour / Youtube / That's My Bush / Comedy Central
Released in April of 2001, the show had already been cancelled by the time 9/11 occured later that year. Although cancelled for financial reasons, show creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker knew it would have been in poor taste in a post-9/11 world.
Comedy Central made a second attempt to launch a show about George W. Bush, but it seemed to come too little, too late.
Via: fuckyeahlilbush / Tumblr / Lil' Bush / Comedy Central
Though many found it funny, the show didn't do well, with many saying it came too late in George W. Bush's presidency to matter.
However, "The President Show" launches only four months into Trumps presidency, so there may be plenty of years of laughs in store.

Mexico's AMLO Wants To Launch New Social Media Network For Mexicans After Twitter Banned Trump
By Justin Lessner January 20, 2021 at 12:17 pm

Love him or hate him, Mexico's President Andres Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) has long called himself the voice of the people – and many Mexicans agree with him. That's why his latest announcement against social media companies has many so worried.
In the wake of Twitter and Facebook's (along with many other social media platforms) announcement that they would be restricting or banning Donald Trump from their platforms, the Mexican president expressed his contempt for the decisions. And his intention to create a Mexican social network that won't be held to the standards from Silicon Valley.
Mexico's AMLO moves to create a social media network for Mexicans outside of Silicon Valley's control.
The newspaper Milenio offered these graphics for possible Mexican alternatives to the big social media networks.

A week after his United States counterpart was kicked off Facebook and Twitter, President López Obrador floated the idea of creating a national social media network to avoid the possibility of Mexicans being censored.
Speaking at his daily news conference, AMLO instructed the National Council of Science and Technology (Conacyt) and other government departments to look at the possibility of creating a state-owned social media site that would guarantee freedom of speech in Mexico.
"We care about freedom a lot, it's an issue that's going to be addressed by us," he told reporters. He also added that Facebook and Twitter have become "global institutions of censorship," sounding a lot like the alt-right terrorists that stormed the U.S. Capitol.
"To guarantee freedom, for freedom, so there's no censorship in Mexico. We want a country without censorship. Mexico must be a country of freedom. This is a commitment we have," he told reporters.

AMLO – like Trump – is an avid user of social media to connect with his constituents. He's also been known to spread falsehoods and boast about his achievements on the platforms – sound familiar?
So, it came as little surprise when he tore into social media companies for 'censoring' Donald Trump, saying that they have turned into "global institutions of censorship" and are carrying out a "holy inquisition."
Nobody has the right to silence citizens even if their views are unpopular, López Obrador said. Even if the words used by Trump provoked a violent attack against his own government.
"Since they took these decisions [to suspend Trump], the Statue of Liberty has been turning green with anger because it doesn't want to become an empty symbol," he quipped.
So what could a Mexican social media network be called?
The president's proposal to create a national social media network triggered chatter about what such a site would or should be called. One Twitter user suggested Facemex or Twitmex, apparently taking his inspiration from the state oil company Pemex.
The newspaper Milenio came up with three alternative names and logos for uniquely Mexican sites, suggesting that a Mexican version of Facebook could be called Facebookóatl (inspired by the Aztec feathered-serpent god Quetzalcóatl), Twitter could become Twitterlopochtli (a riff on the name of Aztec war, sun and human deity Huitzilopochtli) and Instagram could become Instagratlán (tlán, which in the Náhuatl language means place near an abundance of something – deer, for example, in the case of Mazatlán – is a common suffix in Mexican place names.)

What Is the 25th Amendment and What Does it Do?: A Primer

So in case you missed it, some crazy stuff went down at the Capitol yesterday. A mob of far-right Trump supporters broke into the Capitol building in "protest" of Congress ratifying President Elect Joe Biden's Electoral College votes.
The heinous episode shocked and rattled many Americans. After months of inflammatory rhetoric, President Trump effectively activated his base into violent and treasonous actions. And people are upset.
Lawmakers from both sides of the aisle have since called for Trump's resignation. But knowing President Trump, it isn't likely that he's going to do that.
Because of that, lawmakers have reportedly been having talks to discuss invoking the 25th Amendment.

The 25th Amendment has four sections that dictate what will happen in the event of an acting president being unable to carry out the duties of office. These events have usually amounted to…colonoscopies (no, really). But this time around, lawmakers are looking to the fourth section of the amendment to remove Trump from office. And this is where the wording gets super lawyer-y.
Section Four the 25th Amendment states:
"Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President."
Translation: The Vice President, Trump's cabinet, the Senate leader, and the Speaker of the House would all have to agree to ousting Trump.
It's a little complicated, so let's break it down. Vice President Pence and the majority (11 out of 23) of Trump's cabinet would have to agree that he is unfit for office. Then, they must submit a written request to the "President pro Tempore" of the Senate (who is Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley) as well as the Speaker of the House (California Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi).
Why is Trump still in power?
Why hasn't Pence used the 25th Amendment against Trump?
Why hasn't Congress impeached Trump?
What more are they waiting for him to do?

But wait, that's not all. As soon as this motion is enacted, President Trump would be able to contest that decision (which he most definitely would). In that case, VP Mike Pence, Senator Grassley, and Congresswoman Pelosi would have to re-draft another statement insisting that he is, indeed, unfit for office.
Then, two-thirds of both the Senate and the House of Representatives would have to agree with their decision.
Only then would Trump be permanently removed from the presidency.
The 25th Amendment is ready for times like this.

So, yeah…a lot of steps. But there's a good reason for that. If removing a president from office were easy, it would be done a lot more often and our democracy would be a lot shakier.
Remember relentlessly hearing about the "checks and balances" of our government in elementary school? This is what our teachers were talking about. A lot of different people in different parts of the government have to sign-off on hard decisions so we can all make sure every action is justified and reasonable.
