In a recent report, the Serum Institute of India (SII) has said that it will provide Covidshield vaccine to private hospitals for Rs. 600 per dose while the same will be provided to the state government for Rs. 400. A statement issued by the SII on its Twitter handle said that the Institute will address the limited capacity by increasing the vaccine production over the coming two months. However, people are not happy with the difference in prices of Covidshield between states and centers. On Wednesday I.e. 22nd April Bollywood actor Farhan Akhtar by posting a tweet questioned the Serum Institute of India about not delivering its Covidshield vaccine at the same price to everyone.
Taking a jab at the world's largest manufacturer of vaccines, Farhan Akhtar took to his Twitter handle and questioned the company over the disparity in prices of the vaccine.
The Bollywood actor wrote that can a spokesperson for Serum Institute India please make us understand why Indian states should not receive Covidshield at the same price as the center? He added that if any such statement citing the reason has already been issued, can anybody provide him with the link.

Public above age of 18 now eligible to get vaccine: Govt. of India
The tweet from Farhan Akhtar came a few hours after the Serum Institute of India announced the prices for Covidshield for the center and states ahead of 1st May 2021 for the Covid-19 vaccination drive.
The central government this week said that starting from 1st May, everyone above 18 years of age will be allowed to get vaccinated. The center further liberalized the vaccination drive to permit states, industrial establishments, and private hospitals to purchase the vaccine doses directly from the manufacturers.
So far, the Serum Institute of India has been selling the Covidshield Vaccine to the center at Rs. 150 per dose.

Fan:SystemModel doesn't calculate energy consumption
I was using the Fan:ConstantVolume object and my results showed the consumption of all the Fans. However, when replacing for the Fan:SystemModel object, only the energy consumption is zero, but there is normal mass flow in the loop. Looking at the branch, the fields "component object type = Fan: SystemModel" and "component name" are red. I'm sure I put the fans on Fan:SystemModel and that the names are correct. However, when I try to select the component object type = Fan:SystemModel does not appear in the options, so I had to insert it by typing. My e+ version is 8.9, so the Fan:SystemModel object is already available. I have change the fan object because i would like to used multi-speed fans.
How can i fix it?
I assigned "Design Electric Power Consumption = autosize", so it gave exactly the same result as with Fan: ConstantVolume. Assign "Number of speed = 3" and tested various combinations of "Electric Power Fraction", but the simulation is insensitive to that. I'm finding it strange, because even with Fan: ConstantVolume, the flow varies a lot. Each Fan object is on a separate branch. And even with the assignment of "Speed Control Method = Discrete" and with "Number of speed = 3" or using "Fan: ConstantVolume" the result is the same and the flow and consumption vary a lot (not just 3 possibilities

Below are the most dangerous countries to go to, however this doesnot mean that all regions in these countries are dangerous, there are specific danger zones and risky areas, therefore, if you're travelling to any of these countries perhaps to spend your holiday or to visit, be wise enough to ask and search for the risk-free areas you should go to before you find yourself in trouble.
1. Iraq:
Iraq is the most dangerous country in the world, although the Iraq War which officially ended with US withdrawal in 2011, many places are still dengerous and insurgency within its borders remains the same.
2. Nigeria:
Nigeria is politically and socially underdeveloped, it is also oil cursed, which means that the government is failing to concentrate its efforts to protect its oil exports . The Nigerian government is also failing to protect its people from the tyrant islamists Boko-haram who have killed a great number of innocent people.
3. Somalia:
Since early 90s Somalia has been politically unstable, it has suffered from ineffective government, famine, piracy and millitary extremists Al-Qaida in collaboration with Alshabaab.
4. Afghanistan
Many innocent people have lost their lives due to insurgency in this country, the Taliban have made several attacks across the country and still increasing. foreign troops are planning to end their combat missions soon, despite very many Afghans still dying in fighting.
5. Yemen:
According to UN, Yemen is under-going a humanitarian crisis whereby almost half of its population lucking enough food.
6. Syria:
Its now 3-years since Syria civil war begun, thousands of people have been killed and resulted in war crimes. The Islamists have targeted christians and other groups involved in fighting. President Bashar al-Assad's government is blamed because of responding with violent crackdowns and over 190,000 people have been killed as of April 2014.
7. Libya:
After the death of President Ghadafi, their has been civil war in Libya and armed conflict fought between Islamist forces and forces aligned with the Libyan parliament and General Khalifa Haftar.
8 .Pakistan:
Terrorism has greatly affected Pakistan and has been facing religious sectarian and extremism violence. Even pakistan citizens fear their own country because of terror arm like the Lashkar-e-Tayiba, the Harkat-ul-Mujahideen and the Tehrik-i-Taliban
9 .Egypt:
After over throwing the government of Hosni Mubarak, Egypt has been in political instability.
10 . Kenya:
Since the attack on Nairobi's giant shopping centre Westgate Mall where over 70 people where killed and many injured, the northern part of Kenya especially on Somali border has suffered from bomb attacks, killing hundreds. The attackers have targeted public places like churches, Bus stations and nightclubs.
On the 2nd April 2015, the islamists attacked Garrisa University and killed 147 students. The Al-Shabaab claimed responsible for the attack.
Other dengerous countries include:
Venezuela, Central African Republic, South Africa, Chad, Dominican Republic, Honduras, Mexico and Southern Sudan

Anonymous, 26 Oct 2020Haha amaturer. You have never heard of pixel experience custom ROM runs perfectly on my Mi 9T ... moreLiterally 1% people know the idea of custom rom and also you wont get future software and security support
We are at a point at where gaming phones finally make sense! As for me, Im rocking a 6 year old desktop computer at home. While most of my friends spent 1500+ $ on their gaming machine I did spend 500$. For what I do and the games I play, this machine is perfect.
Same goes for phones. Till today I was always rocking flagship devices with the most recent processors. Yet I only play quite the graphic-unintensive games and usually read articles on my phone. Sometimes a Video. And I always use my phone one-handed! I'm glad I bought into the pixel 5 series. If not this, I was tempted to buy the OP Nord, though the massive size kept me from doing so. I will never use more power than the 765 offers.
I hope manufacturers will advance on this level, offering decent processors with all the great aspects (like 5g or photo processing) but lower gaming performance and keep those massive processors to make mobile gaming possible. There is people wanting to play games like Metro Exodus on their phones for sure. I was a big fan of project ara and wish someone would continue their work.
AncientTwo, 26 Oct 2020So much this. Price inflation has gone out of control for phones while generational improvemen... moreWhich is why I went properly midrange last year with my A70 rather than opting for the "flagship killer" options I'd gone with in previous years (OnePlus 3, Honor 9).
Then again, I was also nervous about going with a Chinese phone again as a UK consumer given my country's aligned with the US, as I didn't want to run the risk of it being bricked by geopolitics. I might get the S20 FE 5G and pass my A70 to my husband (who's still on his Honor 9) but I'd probably consider a used Note 10+ if it weren't for us being in an Exynos market.
Seran Mizorogi, 26 Oct 2020This is a pre-emptive strike.
Just about time Apple A14 is about to be heavily defeated by Ex... moreIf you're a mobile gamer, then maybe you're right.
Otherwise, current speed is not enough because you're on the wrong firmware/ software. Simple. Try running a 3-4 generation old version of your OS. I'm on Android Kitkat, on 2GB RAM, and 16GB internal storage, and 40~ apps and games.
Well... Let me try getting convinced that 2 billion bytes of Random access memory is not enough.. And still, it has bloat that I'd like removed... how about seeing it after that?
By the way, Snapdragon 875 and Exynos 2100 will be used on Android, not iOS, so they're not comparable, even if A14 is weaker in pure numbers... So, it won't make a sense.
talha5007, 26 Oct 2020suggest me any 865 device with $365 price tag and 12gb/256gb option. thats what i have paid fo... moreAsking for flagship, comparing with the lowest end oneplus. 7t costs the same, and are 3 times more powerful than the nord. 5g is nothing useful in the next 3 years.!
These are my reasons against flagships:-
1. Unneeded power,
2. When there's unneeded power, companies bundle heavy firmwares which only bring lots of bloatware, and "spying" features which being you closer to wasting more time on phones, or your privacy being exposed online.
Realme C11, an entry level phone being bundled with a 11GB firmware is an example.
3. AI... It has only signaled to bring in unemployment, privacy issues, crimes against women, etc. Nothing good came out of it ever... Tell me one good thing?! What, it made you a lazy by editing your pic as it wants, is it?
Instead of being a manual/ RAW editor, this is what you've become, a machine dictated human?! Progress?
4. Huge batteries, a lot of weight, energy wastage, etc that comes with it.
5. Heating phones...
6. With huge batteries, companies bundle features that burn energy for God knows what reason... Like Wifi version 6 on Samsung S10 series, which caused it to be so bad at battery, even my Redmi 2 Prime does standby miles better. Tell me one user who complained of Wifi 5 being bad, so why Samsung??
The progress should stop here. We're slowly reaching the point where machines will know all about us, including things we ourselves don't know. And it will go to companies, and to Governments.
Realme already includes fingerprints in their privacy policy as a "data they have access to", a technology initially promised to be "secure on the chip level" by Redmi... Wow.
The limit is here.
I'm using a Redmi 2 Prime for as long as I can.

Seran Mizorogi, 26 Oct 2020This is a pre-emptive strike. Just about time Apple A14 is about to be heavily defeated by Ex... moreNot surprising. We've put up with Iphone crowd in the olden days saying 16gb storage is more than enough, 2gb ram is enough, and multitasking is unnecessary because short attention spans/brain not built for multitasking. lmao.
Anonymous, 26 Oct 2020765 still suck comparing even to 845, thats 2 years old flagshipDoes it matter to most people, especially the masses? They buy SD865 phones and use them like SD6XX anyways.
Anonymous, 26 Oct 2020Haha amaturer. You have never heard of pixel experience custom ROM runs perfectly on my Mi 9T ... moreYeah not everyone want to tweak something to get cusrom. But in pixel, you get clean, adsfree rom without tweaking
This is a pre-emptive strike.
Just about time Apple A14 is about to be heavily defeated by Exynos 2100 and Snapdragon 875, they've prepared an article to argue why speed does not matter.
No. Current speed is not enough. Just look at Apple A11-A14 even tho it always top the geekbench score, iPhones always feel slow compared to Android. Tbf, iPhones still feel fast at opening apps and games unless you put it right next to flagship Android, you know where iPhones falter
Power hungry they say.
Asus ROG Phone 3 with a 144 Hz panel has the BEST endurance rating.
Asus crushed this year (again) all the mainstream flagships. With ease.
If this writer was in charge, humans would still be living in "perfectly useable" caves.
I don't agree with this article.
1. Google doesn't really work with the hardware manufacturers to produce the same experience that Apple is able to provide as it simply has too many vendors to deal with.
It cannot optimise the software across all vendors as it's just not feasible. Google doesn't get anything out of this. It's a business after all.
2. There is no other way for vendors to skin android to differentiate themselves which introduces bugs in the system.
3. Chip makers aren't really interested in supporting software for long as they want to sell more chips (phones). Qualcomm doesn't provide firmware updates for longer than a year. The rest need to be looked at by the phone vendor.
Faster chips help buggy software run better. They do a great job of hiding imperfections in code. They age better despite losing support from the phone vendor and the chip maker. They are absolutely vital for great user experience.
We really have no choice in this matter. We need Faster chips.
Anonymous, 26 Oct 2020Miui is outstanding. Ads can be switched off. For the price, Xiaomi phones can't be beat.I also liked miui. I haven't seen any ads. I liked it better than iOS, the gestures are more intuitive. My fav is OneUi though, very user friendly.
AnonD-546724, 26 Oct 2020It's called inflationnope, its called greed. the value of money hasn't been that much inflated.
Anonymous, 26 Oct 2020Mid range selling at $700 is good value? Few years back 700 can get you absolute flagship chip.It's called inflation
This! I agree a ton
thesedays the bottleneck is always software, there's a reason an old iphone se (the first one) ran faster than a note I had at the time. although samsung has Improved MASSIVELY from then. they still need a ton of work on their software.
I never blame lag on the CPU. unless it's a video game with lotsa complex grapihcs etc
[deleted post]IPhones are exploding left and right. Can't post links here. I'll just post the news.
Sad part is that it's not just one model but a variety of them.
Trillion dollar company dumping out garbage quality devices.
1) IPhone exploding in 11yr old girls hands - iPhone 6 user Kayla Ramos
2) In December, a three-week-old iPhone XS Max reportedly caught fire while in the back pocket of its owners' pants, emitting green and yellow smoke while burning his skin.
3) Right as class was starting, my phone started smoking in my pocket. It was a fire," said Hlavaty from Burlington County.
4) New Jersey man says that he is unable to work after his iPhone 5C emitted a popping noise and caused a burning sensation.
5) Exploding' iPhone leaves Sydney man (Gareth Clear) with third-degree burns.
6) Apple sued over 'exploding' iPod Touch. A 15-year-old boy's iPod Touch allegedly exploded in his pocket at school, causing second-degree burns and a lawsuit filed against Apple.
I can go on and on.....but I am sure you get the point.
Apple PR has always been paid enough to cover up these news.

Simplifying code using functions¶
This documentation page is currently under development. Sorry for that!
This page is undergoing major revisions and updates, and parts are missing. We're actively working on this, so please check back in a bit. Also, please be invited to send us a line or two, we've probably got a better working version that we can share, or we can help you get started directly.
Sorry for the trouble!
As you probably noticed in the last section, duplicating and modifying code to create elements that differ only in details quickly becomes fairly tedious. There must be a better way! Indeed, there is: Computers are very good at carrying out simple, repetitive tasks for us. In this section, we will explore how we can harness [1] their diligence.
Introduction to functions¶
The base for all our efforts will be functions. These are series of steps that we can teach a computer to perform, similar to a recipe. This means that, instead of talking through many individual steps every time we need something done, we can ask them to complete the entire task, and the computer will handle the details for us, having been taught the necessary steps. Other ways of thinking about functions include magical spells, or very specialized machines that we can build, that do our bidding at the press of a single button.
Besides reducing the need for repetition, there are several other advantages of
using functions in our code. One related plus is that the code becomes much more
readable and manageable, which is increasingly important as an experiment grows.
This is because functions hide complexity from programmers: Imagine, for
example, the massive complexity of writing text to the browser's console when we
issue an instruction like console.log('Hello world')
! There are a lot of
bits being twiddled in the background for this to work, and we don't need to
care about almost any of them.
Let's take a closer look at the instruction above. The technical term for it is
a function call, in the sense that we call upon a predefined function to do
our bidding. We can separate it into two parts, the one outside and the other
inside the parentheses. The first part is the name of the function, which is
really a variable name under which the function is stored [2]. The second
part are the arguments, which are included in the brackets. They further
specify what the function does. You might think of them as knobs on your newly
constructed machine, or the things you point your wand at while you recite your
incantation. The arguments allow you to do similar things in slightly differing
variations using the same function, thus providing some flexibility. In the
above example, the function console.log
can write different pieces of text
to the console depending on the arguments provided, rather than being limited
to a single value.
The parentheses at the end of the function call are required, like a magic wand has to be swished just right for the spell to work. Just saying the word will not do, which makes things a little harder, but also (in the case of incantations) prevents unintended catastrophes in latin classes worldwide.
Like a machine might produce, say, pancakes, functions also often return
values as results. In doing so, they ideally abstract a more complex operation
and act as a shortcut. Like the pancake machine makes pancakes a matter of
pressing a button, thereby absolving the user of the need to understand its
complex inner workings, a function provides a shorthand for a series of steps or
calculations. We will see how to use this feature in an experiment in a moment,
but as an abstract example for the time being, you might imagine the work
required to make a function call like Math.sqrt(9)
seem effortless. Any
other effects a function might have (besides producing a return value) are
referred to as side effects.
As just mentioned, a function call can hide very complex operations from us,
saving us from having to calculate a square root on our own, as in the last
example. Thus, a function can replace any other code by returning an equivalent
value. If we had a function called plusTwo
, typing 1 + 2
, and analogously let new_number = 1 + 2
and let new_number
= plusTwo(1)
are for our purposes entirely equivalent. A function call can act
as a stand-in for an expression that results in the same value, or a variable
name that represents the same value.
Where do functions come from? Many, like the above examples, are built-in,
and come with the browser. Others are provided by libraries, which are
external collections of functions loaded with the page. This latter way is how
gets loaded onto the web page containing the experiment.
Both methods provide a range of variables representing useful functions. So as
not to use up to many variable names, the functions are often grouped together
using a common 'stem', such as Math.
for many math-related functions,
for functions pertaining to console output, and lab.
everything provided by the present library.
So now we know how to invoke functions, but we can't rely on other programmers to supply just the right ones for our purposes. How do we make our own?
Defining our own functions¶
A simple example¶
We just saw that functions can be thought of as miniature machines inside a program, built to serve a specific purpose, and to encapsulate a more complex process. Many are offered by the browser itself so that we may use them, they might be added through the libraries we load on our pages, or we can define our own.
One of the simplest possible functions can be defined as follows:
const greetFelix = function() {
console.log('Hello Felix!')
If you have a browser window handy, please be invited to copy the code into the browser console! (feel free to substitute your own name)
There are several parts to this function definition. The final, and largest
part, located within the curly braces, delimits the block of code that
contains the function's inner workings, the recipe that is run when the function
is called. In this case, all our function does is call another function in turn,
writing a greeting on the console. You might recognize this block structure from
other elements of programs, for example if
statements, where blocks of code
are run only if a certain condition is met, or loops, where blocks of code are
run repeatedly. This block of code is preceded by the function
which marks it as a function. The very first part represents the assignment of
the function to the greetFelix
variable, allowing us to retrieve the
function at some later point.
If you now call the function using greetFelix()
(typed in the console or as
a line within a larger script), the code contained in the function block will be
executed, and the greeting will be shown.
Using return values¶
In our last example, all our function did was produce a console output as a side
effect. In a way, it acted as a shortcut for another function call. However,
functions are capable of far more, and can substitute not only other function
calls, but also more complex calculations (such as the Math.sqrt
above). We can also make use of this in our own functions, using the return
keyword to return a value:
const makeTwo = function() {
return 2
A call of this makeTwo
function now produces the integer value 2
, and
both can be substituted for one another. For example, 1 + makeTwo()
produce the value three, and console.log(2 * makeTwo())
would output the
number four onto the console.[#f3]_
Of course, this is not a very useful function, because the value it returns
is easier to produce through other means (by writing 2
directly); it does
not make our lives easier. However, there are many cases in which long blocks of
code can be substituted by a function call. Take, for example, the humble
fixation cross. It is used often, rarely varies, and therefore a prime candidate
for abstraction using a function:
const fixationCross = function() {
return new lab.HTMLScreen(
'timeout': 500
This function, when called, returns an HTMLScreen
containing nothing but a
plus character that, for our purposes, will double as a fixation cross. Like a
call of makeTwo
would provide the number two for further use, a call of
the fixationCross
function provides a fixation cross screen, and accordingly
may be substituted wherever we would otherwise have defined such a screen by
For example, one might construct a simple experiment as follows:
const experiment = lab.Sequence([
// First trial
// Stimulus 1
new lab.HTMLScreen(
'Press A!',
{ // Options
responses: {
'keypress(a)': 'correct'
// Second trial
// Stimulus 2
new lab.HTMLScreen(
'Press B!',
{ // Options
responses: {
'keypress(b)': 'correct'
// ...
Please note how the calls to the fixationCross
function replaces the
otherwise unwieldy and repetitive direct construction of the corresponding
screen. Nice, isn't it?
Adding parameters¶
Up to now, the functions we have defined always perform the exact same task, whether producing side effects or returning values. Once defined, they never wavered in their stoic performance of the recipe they have been programmed to perform. This would mean that we would have to program a new function for each set of tasks we would like to encapsulate. If the sets of tasks vary only in minutiae, this would also quickly become repetitive.
Parameters allow us vary the behavior of a single function across calls, by
specifying the details of its' execution. For example, rather than a makeTwo
function, we might define a plusTwo
function that, as you might imagine,
increments a given value by two. We do so by adding a parameter in the brackets
following the function keyword. In this case, it is called x
, but any other
variable name would also be possible. The central trick is that whatever we pass
along as a parameter value will be available within the function block through
this variable, and can be used for our further calculations.:
const plusTwo = function(x) {
return x + 2
In this case, the variable x
takes on the value of the parameter passed to
the function, which adds two before returning the result. Thus, plusTwo(3)
would return the value five, and so on.
Again, this is not a particularly useful example, so how can we apply this to our experiments?
[1] | An earlier version of this tutorial read 'take advantage of their diligence', but we would never do that, right? The author, for one, welcomes his silicon overlords. |
[2] | You might have noticed that the name, in this case, is also split into
two parts, separated by the period. This signifies that the Similarly, functions that pertain to a specific element in the experiment are
also linked to the element's variable with a period, like
[3] | Note that, unlike this example might suggest, return values need not
be deterministic. For example, the function Math.random() will return a
different floating point number between zero and one with each call (well,
most of the time). |

The Highlands Rotary Club had the opportunity to hear from Precinct 2 Commissioner Jack Morman Tuesday afternoon at their regular luncheon, and got an update on the state of the precinct the good, bad and ugly parts.
Morman was sworn in Jan. 1, 2011 after defeating longtime seat holder Sylvia Garcia. He is the first Republican elected to his seat. A native of Deer Park, Morman has lifelong ties to the area.
Morman was candid about his relatively new position on the commissioner s court. Its been pretty exciting, and an interesting time, Morman said. Ive learned there are some pretty dynamic personalities on the commissioners court, and theyve always been willing to lend a hand.
I need all the help I can get.
Morman also made clear where his priorities are in relation to his goals. One of the things my predecessor said was that she hoped I would be an urban commissioner, Morman said. My preference is to be an infrastructure commissioner. If you dont do that right, everything else goes by the wayside.
A commissioners number one priority in my opinion is to make sure the infrastructure is in place. Thats where I intend to focus my attention.
And regarding the infrastructure, Morman said there was plenty of work to be done soon. We have 855 miles of roads, 10 miles of bridges, a tunnel and a ferry, so we have a lot to work with, Morman said. Well be starting some resurfacing work on the roads in the Highlands area in September and October. We intend to do $50 million worth of capital improvement throughout Precinct 2.
Despite the scheduled roadwork, Morman didnt shy away from the fact that times are tough, even for the county. We had to lay off 99 employees in the last eight months, and there may be more to come, Morman said. This office spent $44 million more than it took in over the last two years, and the operating budget wasnt sustainable. We had to right the ship. Laying off those employees was the hardest thing Ive had to do since I took office.
Other cost-cutting measures implemented include the reducing of hours for the Lynchburg Ferry, but Morman says that was a way of keeping the ferry in operation. Our goal for the ferry is to defend it from complete closure, Morman said. It costs about $1.8 million to operate the ferry annually, and the thought of shutting it down kind of rubbed me the wrong way. Its a part of our history, and people depend on it. We may have to fight that battle every year.
Another point of concern for Morman is the Port of Houston, and the publics lack of confidence in the way it is being run. Weve got to have a laser focus on the port, Morman said. Theyve lost the publics trust. Freight traffic in the port has doubled, and the infrastructure is not there to make it work. We have to make sure the increase in traffic doesnt become a bottleneck.
If we change the culture, change the attitude, the port can be bigger and better than ever.

Q: Why did you decide to start holding your own workshop?
The main benefit of organizing our own event is that there is a 100 % focus on Prague as a destination. All the 25 workshop attendees from the supplier side were representing purely the Prague meetings industry and all the invited hosted buyers came to Prague because of their serious interest in Prague. When hosting your own event you have the full control over the selection and evaluation of the hosted buyers and thus we could ensure we brought only those who are considering the city for organizing one of their future events.
Besides the workshop with local suppliers, we presented Prague through various site visits, social and incentive programmes with the goal to deliver the InSpiring experience to buyers which will hopefully be transferred into the future events organised in Prague. Even though the planning and organization itself were challenging for the Prague Convention Bureau team, thanks to all the positive feedback, we are confident that it paid off.
"Meeting people in person, seeing the offer live and experiencing the city is still something that cannot be fully replaced by other means of communication."
Q: How efficient are such events, compared to other marketing strategies?
Meeting people in person, seeing the offer live and experiencing the city is still something that cannot be fully replaced by other means of communication or by digitalization. For us, forums, workshops and meetings still hold a firm spot in our marketing strategy.
What's more, our own events are targeted very precisely, so we are able to bring in those interested, show them the offer they need to see for their business and include partners that are able to deliver the services requested. Thanks to this, the efficiency of such events is very high.
"Personal touch, together with a personalised approach, live experience and memories from the event and delivering a tailored-made programme are the most valuable advantages of our events."
Q: What are the advantages of events of this sort?
As mentioned previously, the personal touch together with a personalised approach, live experience and memories from the event, delivering a tailored-made programme and precise targeting are the most valuable advantages of such events.
Q: How do you measure the results and long-term effects of such events?
Firstly, the impressions right after the event are very important for us. We reach back to our clients as well as providers with detailed surveys focusing on various parts of the event and their benefit for both sides. It is also valuable feedback for us for what to do better next time.
We are, of course, tracking the number of received and confirmed RFPs during and after the event, and keep the long-term communication with the buyers who came to Prague. As for other marketing activities, measuring the impact of such events from the long-term perspective may become difficult. The decision-making process consists of many smaller steps and such events impact the decision in varying degrees in the end.
Q: Do you believe such events are the future, or will we stick to large B2B fairs and why?
Both formats have their own pros and cons. They help to spread the news, increase the visibility of the destination, and provide the opportunity to meet new people as well as long-term business partners. For the Prague Convention Bureau, both are inseparable parts of the communication and business strategy. Our plans include participation at the large world trade shows, middle third-party forums, and workshops as well as organizing our own smaller formats of events and fam trips.

"Most kids probably dream of becoming an astronaut. I was just the one that never grew out of it."
Born in 1979, Christina Hammock Koch is native of Michigan but grew up in Jacksonville, North Carolina. Christina has mentioned publicly that her childhood dream was to become an astronaut. Personally, she has mentioned that she enjoys rock climbing, photography, yoga, surfing, and traveling in her free time. Family is also a very important concept to her and has addressed that time away from them is one of the hardest parts of being in space.
Her strengths in engineering and physics were evident to professionals even in her teenage years. For her last two years of high school attended the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics. This was a pivotal step in proving how devoted and intelligent Koch is in the field of science. After high school, she attended North Carolina State University where she earned a degree in electrical engineering and physics. Koch holds both a Bachelor's Degree and a Master's Degree.
Koch embarked on her journey with NASA in 2002 where she worked as an astrophysicist. Then from 2007-2012 she spent her time traveling the Arctic and Antarctic regions doing research. Climatically, in 2013 Koch was selected as a NASA astronaut and completed her training in 2015. Her recruitment as a NASA astronaut of the 21st class was the first in history where an equal number of males and females were represented. She was a part of ISS Expedition 59, 60, and 61. Koch launched on March 14, 2019 with NASA Astronaut Nick Hague and Russian Cosmonaut Alexey Ovchinin. She returned to Earth on February 6, 2020. During that time the crew contributed to hundreds of biological and scientific experiments. Some of her most astonishing attributions include information in regards to dark matter and testing 3D printers in microgravity.
Christina Koch has conducted six spacewalks so far and within that she has made history. One of her spacewalks included the first all women space expedition which she endured with Jessica Meir. This accomplishment was supposed to occur on an earlier timeline but NASA did not have proper fitting spacesuits for the two women. This is just one instance of female adversity that women at NASA face on the daily. Spacesuits were ultimately designed for men and until recent years, female astronauts were unheard of. Due to changing standards and times, Koch was able to get a custom spacesuit for a woman and hence began making history.
Despite the adversity Christina Koch endured due to her gender, she was able to persevere. 556 people have traveled to space in recorded history and only 65 of those individuals were female. Not only was Christina Koch one of those females, but she even holds a space flight record. Koch is physical proof that you can break down stereotypes and make an astonishing attribution to the world. She is a role model to not only women, but to everyone all around the world. Never give up on your dreams and continue to pursue them even if it seems impossible!

Shortly after the Seattle Seahawks made one of the most questionable [but not worst] passes in Super Bowl history, savvy NFL experts were prepared to drop fresh 2015 offseason content on the fan bases. Gil Brandt, from NFL.com, and Evan Silva, of RotoWorld, had similar thought processes: addressing the top needs of the 32 NFL teams.
We're focusing solely on those of the St. Louis Rams here, but you can view Gil's "Top 3 Needs" and Evan's "Top Needs and Roster Rankings" at their respective sites.
Top Needs For the St. Louis Rams
Gil Brandt
Evan Silva
Offensive Line
Wide Receiver
Running Back
Tight End
Brandt's Take
Top three needs: QB, CB, RBTop-rated prospects at positional needs: QB: Jameis Winston (Florida State), Marcus Mariota(Oregon), Brett Hundley (UCLA); CB: Marcus Peters (Washington), Trae Waynes (Michigan State), Kevin Johnson (Wake Forest); RB: Todd Gurley (Georgia), Melvin Gordon (Wisconsin), Tevin Coleman(Indiana).
Silva's Take
OL: The Rams are likely to release C Scott Wells and LT Jake Long, the former for poor on-field performance and the latter because Long can't stay healthy. Right guard is a glaring need after free agent Davin Joseph flopped there in 2014. St. Louis needs a starting center and potentially a starting right tackle, where Joseph Barksdale's contract is up.
WR: Assuming Brian Quick heals steadily from his 2014 shoulder injury, wide receiver isn't quite as big a need for the Rams as it's been in recent years. Stedman Bailey looks like a future contributor, and Quick flashed legitimate No. 1-wideout chops in a breakout season before going down. St. Louis could solidify its depth by re-signing free agent Kenny Britt. Tavon Austin continues to look like a lost cause.
QB: Coming off back-to-back ACL tears, Sam Bradford has missed 31 games over the past four seasons. He's owed a $13 million salary in 2015, which is also a contract year for Bradford. St. Louis will likely use an early- to middle-round draft pick on a quarterback.
TE: The Rams are paying Jared Cook a lot of money, but he is a one-dimensional tight end who contributes little beyond intermediate seam routes. Free agent Lance Kendricks isn't a difference maker, but his loss would be felt. The Rams need an in-line tight end who can block and move the sticks in the short passing game.
Your Turn
On a scale of 1-10, with 1 being NO NEED, and 10 being HUGE NEED, rank the level of need for each position on the Rams' roster.

BARSTOW, Calif. -- An Idaho man was arrested for allegedly stealing a single-engine plane in North Las Vegas and flying it over 100 miles to Barstow in Southern California over the weekend.
Damian Zukaitis, 40, was taken into custody Saturday in San Bernardino County and faces charges of possession of a stolen airplane and taking stolen property across state lines, according to the county sheriff's department.
Authorities say deputies also found a stash of beer and alcohol in the plane.
Air Force Search and Rescue notified the plane's owner after the aircraft's emergency location transmitter was activated. When the owner went to check on the plane, he saw it wasn't in the hangar.

The Federal Aviation Administration soon contacted the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department and alerted them about the missing plane landing near Barstow-Daggett Airport.
Authorities say deputies responded to the scene and saw the suspect taxiing the aircraft on a roadway heading back toward the airport.
Zukaitis was arrested after he tried running away, according to the sheriff's department.
The aircraft was valued at about $80,000.

An Albanian woman who worked as a fixer for crime gangs smuggling people across the Channel has been jailed for more than seven years.
Ujeza Kumekaj, 32, orchestrated the small boat crossings from France for fellow Albanians before being arrested at her home in Banbury, Oxfordshire, last year.
Investigations unearthed hundreds of messages on her phone which revealed her'key role' in linking people smugglers with passengers.
She sent instructions to contacts in France on who they should pick up, with messages such as 'family one 3 women, children 14 17 12 years old' and 'we have here one family, man wife one child'.
Other conversations indicated conditions, including 'very bad sea' and map location pins instructing where to pick migrants up or where boats were positioned in the Channel.
Further exchanges showed people making contact with her to arrange crossings for their families.
Her phone also contained 21 images of Albanian ID cards and passports which, when checked on immigration systems, showed that nine of the individuals had arrived in the UK by small boat.
She was arrested last October before being charged in September 2023 with facilitating illegal immigration.
Kumekaj pleaded guilty at Oxford Crown Court earlier this month and was jailed for seven-and-a-half years.
She will be deported automatically on her release from prison.
Senior investigating officer Andy MacGill said: 'Ujeza Kurmekaj played a major role as a broker, linking migrants with people smugglers who could transport them on dangerous journeys across the Channel.
'For this, she would arrange payments of hundreds of euros per person. Kurmekaj had little interest in the safety and security of the people she was arranging crossings for, only that she and her employers received payment.'
Mr MacGill said he will continue to target offenders involved at every step of the people smuggling journey.

Red Wing Shoe Company releases an installation called "Marching To A Different Drum" featuring the new wooden tanning drum at the company's S.B. Foot leather tanning facility.

Etsy is the most wonderful way I've found to discover new artists and to find unique, hand crafted jewelry and art pieces. Since 2005, I have become something of an addict and can easily lose myself down the rabbit hole, searching for one-of-a-kind treasures for myself – and for gift giving during the holidays!
Of course, hand crafted jewelry from talented artisans is always one of my top searches. And, one new favorites is Melissa Baker from Mimi and Moi. From hand-stamped charms, to photo charm bracelets, to eco-friendly earrings, Melissa offers simply gorgeous pieces.
Although Mimi and Moi is best known for its customizable photo bracelets, I am also drawn to the stunning glass earrings and necklaces. The glass is actually upcycled stained glass which is cut to size. Then, each piece is soldered by hand and beads are wire wrapped. The end result is a piece that is as individual as the wearer!
One of my top picks is the upcycled blue and green necklace, pictured above. The pendant is 1 3/4 inches and dangles from a 20 inch silver plated ball chain. The color combination, the simplicity of the design, and the quality of the craftsmanship make this pendant a must-have! Retail $44
The modern art earrings with geometric rectangles, shown, are another favorite. In light and dark turquoise glass, the iridescent color actually changes as the earrings move! The earrings hang a total of 2 inches long. Retail $65
To see the entire line of gorgeous hand crafted jewelry, visit Mimi and Moi on Etsy.

For a while he had been looking out the window to watch Kerry Dowling's backyard. She was having a party and Jamie was mad because she hadn't invited him. When they were in high school together, she was always nice to him even though he was in special classes. But Mom had told him that it was probably just a party only for Kerry's classmates who would be leaving for college next week. Jamie had graduated from high school two years ago and now had a good job stocking shelves in the local Acme supermarket. Jamie didn't tell Mom that if the kids at the party started swimming in Kerry's pool, he was going to go over and swim with them. He knew Mom would be mad at him if he did that. But Kerry always invited him to swim in her pool when she was swimming. He watched from the window of his room until all the kids went home and Kerry was alone outside on the patio cleaning up. He watched the end of his video. He decided to go over and help her, even though he knew Mom would not want him to.
Brief Summary of I've Got My Eyes on You
But she didn't answer him. He started to walk down the pool steps. The water looked dirty. He thought maybe somebody spilled something. But when he felt the water in his new sneakers, soaking his pants up to his knees, he stopped. Even though Kerry always said he could swim with her, he knew that Mom would be mad if he got his new sneakers wet. Kerry was floating in the water. He reached out, touched her shoulder and said, "Kerry, wake up." But Kerry just floated farther away, to the deep end of the pool. So he went back home. The news was still on the television, so Mom didn't see him when he sneaked back upstairs and went to bed. He knew his sneakers, socks and pants were wet, so he hid them on the floor of his closet. Maybe they'll dry before Mom finds them, he hoped. As he was falling asleep, he wondered if Kerry was having fun swimming.

Beat Glider, Not for you (Tube Bar) 7"
After their performance at Abbey Park, Leicester, on Saturday, the clarity and precision of these two recordings is welcome indeed. Live, the band quickly become repetitive, amplification overwhelming the fragile acoustics and drowning out all traces of melody but on this single all details are audible as the music swirls around, a laguid drawl of drifting, interwoven guitar lines and occasional buried vox.
