Why Moving Beyond DAM is Critical for a Sustainable Creative Value Chain
I often get asked where the idea for a Global Marketing Supply Chain came from and how it sustains the creative value chain. It's an interesting evolution that comes primarily from the experiences I've gained in the field having been fortunate to work with many thought leaders and clients to understand how their businesses have evolved, and the role content has played as we move into this digital-first world.
The Concept of DAM Isn't New
In fact, many of the leading Digital Asset Management (DAM) solutions have been around for over 20 years. The concept of placing digital assets into a single, centralized repository so users can have access to the latest and most accurate versions to be used throughout its entire lifecycle sounds efficient – right?
How often have we heard that DAM is going to revolutionize our business? Or that it's going to give us new insights into how we work that we never believed possible or that we are going to streamline our work so much that DAM is key to our digital transformation?
Well while the concept is a great one, modern-day DAM has become impractical due to the vast amounts of underlying technologies supporting it. A DAM becomes another silo within the organization unless it has connectivity to solutions which support the creation of content and those that provide distribution. Add to this the need to become more personalized, get closer to the customer, no matter how they wish to interact with your brand in an ever-increasing number of channels and it is easy to see how the issue is expanding.
Standalone, custom integrations and vendor-owned technologies remove the agility to adapt to new channels. They simply aren't built to consistently scale massive amounts of digital media because they 1) tend to be business-focused as opposed to media-focused and 2) are strained to operate without a heavy investment in infrastructure.
To resolve these issues over time we started to deliver the Digital Media Supply Chain (DMSC). The concept was simple. We created solutions that allowed ideation, greenlighting, and task assignments enabling users to access, review and respond to deliverables at the right time, on time. Portals were used to orchestrate content to different groups, and content was published into the necessary channels for syndication. Because this was all under the control of a single solution, each point could report data for the purpose of metrics.
The problem was the original DMSC concept required DAM with standard business systems, configuration, customization and underlying technology integrations to get to a solution which worked. The price tag that went with it was usually far beyond the initial license and infrastructure investment. Once the solution was in place things worked well, but it became expensive to maintain, upgrade, and modify over time. The barriers to adoption became complex with users having to learn new tools and workflows – often changing their processes resulting in major costs and time.
Moving Beyond DAM
The more we recognized and understood specific needs from enterprise marketing organizations looking to move beyond DAM and towards digital transformation, it became apparent end-to-end global visibility and fluidity of content, processes and data were the backbone to the next generation DMSC to sustain the creative value chain.
Leveraging cloud technologies along with FAANG proven concepts for scalability, Global Media Supply Chain (GMSC) was born as a productized service offering to deliver an ROI that had never before been previously achieved.
By giving enterprises a content-focused digital supply chain that orchestrates the connectivity between existing marketing technology investments, leverages AI/ML, microservices and hypergraph intelligence systems to aggregate performance data and provides global insight to visualize and track content at every level across all channels—the creative value chain becomes unified, adaptable, scalable and future proof.
As mentioned in a previous blog post, the market need and GMSC have finally aligned at the right time. Enterprises housing millions of digital assets will now be able to deliver a certain level of marketing personalization and return on spend that go beyond what DAM systems can do.

I love it when I hear a sermon that makes me think about a passage of Scripture differently. That happened to me two Sundays ago with a sermon on 1 John 1:5-10.
This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. If we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.
If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word is not in us.
I've read this passage countless times, and I've always felt a little guilty. I thought that my depression meant that I was living in darkness, that I wasn't close enough to God. But my pastor gave me a different perspective on this. He said that living in the light means living exposed, real, and vulnerable–it means living openly, being honest about your life, your struggles, your relationship with God.
And I can't explain the peace that came over me with this realization.
Coming out as mentally ill has allowed me to live in the light in a way that I hadn't experienced before, and reading this passage with fresh insight was so encouraging.
I'm not saying that if you aren't acknowledging your mental illness then you're living in darkness. It takes time. It's a process. But there's a freedom that comes with living out in the open and seeking the help that you need.
Nothing is worse than feeling like you're alone, that you can't be real with yourself and with those around you.
Integrity grows the kingdom.
If you have a story about mental illness—whether personal or concerning a loved one—please consider sharing your experience. Even if you aren't at a place yet where you feel comfortable disclosing your name, the church body needs your voice. Let's shine a light on the darkness, together.

Robert McDonald, the Veterans Affairs Secretary, recently compared VA wait times to Disney wait times, saying that Disney doesn't use wait times as a measure of success so why should the VA. Good point, Mr. McDonald. It's good to know the VA is in capable hands. But we asked around the hospital to see what you were thinking. Here's what we found:
|"The VA is just like Disney. Minus the FastPass option."
Dr. Lawson, General Surgeon
|"I prefer the food at Epcot, the Dilaudid at the VA."
Jason Redmond, Patient Who Can't Afford Meds But Has a Sweet New iPhone 6s Plus
|"I tell my patients if they develop any life-threatening illness to report to their nearest Disney or VA, whichever is closer."
Dr. Vasquez, OB/GYN
|"How tall do you have to be to ride the VA?"
Brent Shoemaker, Second-Year Med Student
|"Both involve roller coasters, but I prefer child vomit to adult vomit. Less to clean."
Jerome Jones, Environmental Services
|"If Mickey Mouse doesn't measure wait times, why should Annabelle Rivers measure blood sugars?"

GSoC 2017 Update 1
Project status
This section is about the new features that have been introduced to OSEM or are in the process of being reviewed
Features merged in upstream
Multiple CFPs
Up until recently, you could only create a single CFP, which defined when users are able to submit event proposals for your conference.
The changes introduced in #1523 allow the developers to easily add new CFP for different reasons, while reusing as much of the existing code as possible. Significant changes include an index view for the cfps, the ability to add a new kind of cfp just by editing a words array and the modularity of the show view that allows the different kinds of cfps to show only what's important to them.
For example, in the future we are going to have cfps for tracks, then, instead of having to write a new model, controller and views just for the new type of cfp. I'm just going to edit the
Cfp::TYPES constant and add a new partial named
As far as I know, this feature will, also, be used for the booths.
Bellow you can see some screenshots that depict Cfp#index and Cfp#new
Friendly urls for tracks
While implementing the role of the track organizer the need to have meaningful names for tracks in the urls arose. Specifically, without using user friendly urls, the url for the role of the track organizer for a track would be
https://example.com/admin/conferences/some_conference/roles/track_organizer/5, while now it is
https://example.com/admin/conference/some_conferences/roles/track_organizer/awesome_track, which, appart from being much more user friendly, it helps the conference team, who can recognize the track at a glance.
Under the hood, this was implemented by adding a
short_name field to the Track model, like the
short_title the Conference model has.
This feature was introduced in #1565
Features being reviewed
Track requests
A big feature that is currently being reviewed is the implementation of track requests. Particularly, a new controller and views for tracks (along with changes to the Track model) have been introduced outside of the admin namespace in order to allow the users to make requests for tracks. Also, the admin controller and views have been modified, to make the distinction between regular and self organized tracks visible to the conference team.
Here's a screenshot from admin/Tracks#index The next step before enabling said requests, is to implement the workflow that allow the conference team to review and accept/reject these requests.
The track organizer role
Another feature is the introduction of the role of the track organizer. The person/people with this role, will be the ones that are going to be responsible for managing a specific track and its events (accepting/rejecting and scheduling them) by the end of GSoC. Right now, this role is pretty limited but it is nice to see it starting to take a form.
The code for the two features above can be found at #1556
Personal experience and thoughts
GSoC is, probably, one of the most prestigious programs in the world. When you realize that, combined with the open source and free software ethos, being a part of it gives you a special mix of emotions. For me, it's a bit of pride, coupled with a sense of duty and that feeling that you do something important, which is going to help the world move forward. At the same time, you know that you have great people around you that are willing to help you and share their knowledge with you.
My previous post showed that GSoC opened new doors for me before it even started. While, in this month there was no big awesome trip, there was plenty of the good old learning by reading documentation, writing new code, experimenting and figuring out how the existing code works and why it does what it does the way it does it. See you next time!

South Carolina's longest-serving sheriff has been indicted on bribery charges, according to federal prosecutors, making him the eighth sheriff in the state to face criminal charges or investigations in the past four years.
U.S. Attorney Bill Nettles said Tuesday that the 68-year-old Lexington County Sheriff James Metts faces 10 charges of taking bribes. He is also charged with wire fraud and conspiracy.
Sign up for breaking news alerts from NBC News
Court documents say Metts allowed friends to buy favors, accepting cash in return for agreeing to assist people who were in the country illegally and who were being detained. (Read the indictment in PDF.)
The indictment detailed several alleged phone calls between Metts and a former Lexington Town councilman, who it alleged was acting as a go-between for the owner of several Mexican restaurants. The indictment alleges that Metts accepted an envelope full of cash in exchange for keeping some of the restaurants' employees from ending up in federal databases of immigrants who weren't supposed to be in the U.S.
In office since 1972, the Republican has received a number of awards. Metts was a 2009 honoree of the Strom Thurmond Awards for Excellence in Law Enforcement, hosted by the U.S. Attorney's Office. The award noted Metts' implementation of mandatory drug testing for employees and his efforts to recruit women and members of minorities as deputies to better represent the community.
He holds a master's degree in criminal justice and a doctorate in education from the University of South Carolina.
It wasn't immediately known whether he was in custody.
His lawyer, Sherri Lydon, issued a statement on his behalf. "Sheriff Metts has dedicated his life to law enforcement and serving the citizens of Lexington County. He denies the allegations and looks forward to his day in court," she wrote.
Gov. Nikki Haley suspended Metts about an hour after the indictments were released and appointed a retired assistant sheriff as the acting sheriff.
Metts was first elected to office in 1972 at the age of 25. He's up for re-election in 2016.
The U.S. Attorney's Office wasn't available for additional comment Tuesday.

Graduates coming out of South Carolina's only dental school are motivated to care for the under-served and under-privileged, but they can be stymied by the heavy burden of student debt, according to one of the state's most prominent dentists.
But Dr. W. Carter Brown, an adjunct professor at the Medical University of South Carolina, is generally upbeat about the future of dentistry, and the number of graduates, both in the state and nationally.
There are currently about 2,200 patients per dentist in the country, and that figure has remained steady for some time, Brown told Palmetto Business Daily.
And dentists are becoming more efficient, which allows them to see more patients, Brown, a former president of the Association of General Dentistry, said.
Some concerns have been raised about the lack of dentists serving low-income patients, particularly in rural areas.
But any problems in that area have little to do with students not wanting to care for the under-served, Brown said.
"Students are very cognizant at the thought of caring about the under-served," Brown said. "They do an enormous amount of mission work, free dental, and not trying to make money. They love to do that stuff."
But Brown said the burden of debt dissuades students from joining or opening practices where most of the patients are on Medicaid. He suggested a debt-forgiveness program that would be a "win win" for the state and the country.
"It is not a true statement that students do not want to serve the underprivileged," Brown said. "It is excellent in South Carolina, where they have tremendous desire to take care of everyone, and most stay here."
Brown was a pioneer in organizing dental access days, hugely popular events at which dozens of dentists treated hundreds of patients for free.
Mike Peters, of KOS Services, which manages the back-office functions for the Dental Dreams chain of practices, said there remains an issue with more demand than supply, particularly for low-income patients, and those living in rural areas.
Dental Dreams, which has three clinics in South Carolina, specializes in treating low-income patients, particularly those on Medicaid.
Many graduates "do not come from areas that are most lacking in dental resources and therefore need to be encouraged to pursue opportunities where the need is greatest," Peters told Palmetto Business Daily.
But Dental Dreams practices can compete for graduates because they offer attractive compensation, Peters said.
"We work hard in our recruitment of dental school students to help them gain an appreciation that with a practice like ours they can earn attractive compensation, maintain a healthy work/life balance and also serve a community that is in need of high quality dental providers," said Peters. "Working for a practice that serves Medicaid patients can check all the boxes."
But there are many who do for "altruistic motivations," or they want to return to their communities.
"There is an opportunity to serve the community that is in need, particularly children," Peters said.
Peters said Dental Dreams has managed to create a model that provides high-quality care, yet can compete at or above the market level on compensation. In addition, there is a "big entity" supporting the practices, so services are always in demand.
"The biggest reason we are able to survive in these communities is how we operate our practices," Peters said. "We are structured, run like a business with a maximum quality of care at relatively low cost."
Dental Dreams' typical office has four doctors and high-quality managers, and schedules are never empty, Peters said.

Universities in the United Kingdom use a centralized system of undergraduate application: University and College Admissions Service (UCAS). It is used by both domestic and international students. Students have to register on the UCAS website before applying to the university. They will find all the necessary information about the application process on this website. Some graduate courses also require registration on this website, but in most cases students have to apply directly to the university. Some universities also accept undergraduate application through Common App (the information about it could be found on universities' websites).
Both undergraduate and graduate students may receive three types of responses from the university. The first one, "unconditional offer" means that you already reached all requirements and may be admitted to the university. The second one, "conditional offer" makes your admission possible if you fulfill some criteria – for example, have good grades on final exams. The third one, "unsuccessful application" means that you, unfortunately, could not be admitted to the university of you choice.
All universities require personal statement, which should include the reasons to study in the UK and the information about personal and professional goals of the student and a transcript, which includes grades received in high school or in the previous university.
We have a selection of funding opportunities available such as the UK postgraduate tuition fee loan (Scottish & EU) and specific scholarships aimed at student from India and across Africa.

First of all, heroes can participate no more than in 35 fights during the season. The fights are written off only if a Hero has participated in the fight and the battle took place.
Very important: Skills, that depend on the ability comparison, were changed. Henceforth, the skill triggers only if your comparable ability is more or equal the one of your enemy.
By titans blessing, this change also applies to the Deities fights. You need to have more or equal parameters of the comparable ability for successfull use the certain skill against the Deity.
Please also note, that the new season of the Gladiators arena and the rewards for the previous season will be a little bit later the server work resumption.

What Are Instant Payday Loans All About?
Instant Payday loans are the funding sources for short-term financial problems. The main feature of loans lies within repayments, which borrowers have to make within a month or when they receive their next paycheque. Usually available with high-interest rates, and no fees, an online procedure is applicable to apply for these cash advances from direct lenders with minimum involvement of paperwork.
The primary purpose of applying for an instant loan is to get rid of the EMERGENCY EXPENSES such as:
- Car Repairs
- Medical bills
- Paying fees
- Restaurant bills
- Utility bills
It would not put any extra burden on the individual's monthly salary. At BadCreditHistory (BCH), much cheaper deals are available on such small unsecured loans, as compare to others and that would be without any upfront fees.
Borrow from £1000 Loan From Direct Lender
No matter you are a first-time borrower or already entered our existing borrowers' list, these advances come with high acceptance rates can allow borrowing the amount from £1000 to £5,000 for a maximum duration of 12 months with no fees payable. However, an amount may go high depending upon financial circumstances of borrowers and meeting eligibility criteria for short-term quick loans.
There is an ADVICE here that borrowers should apply only for that amount, which they think can repay on their next salary day; otherwise, it will become difficult for them to compensate. For instance, a student, who is doing a part-time job, can use the borrowed funds to pay university fees or hostel rent or to purchase reading materials.
As far as an eligibility criterion is concerned, one should fulfil these qualifying conditions:
- You must be a working individual (full-time or part-time employment both are accepted)
- You must provide us with your residence proof, but with no hard copy rather just mail us
- It will be better if you know your credit score; but however, we won't take it among the approval factor
- You should have a working email id and valid contact number because we process everything through these ways
As part of the growing financial market in the United Kingdom, BCH has been emerged as a responsible direct lender for guaranteed payday loans for bad credit people, entirely determined to assist people with poor credit history with its customer-friendly approach that further defined by guaranteed approval and no credit check policy.
Who Can Apply for Payday Loan?
This instant loan can work for every individual to solve every small financial problem. Nevertheless, most beneficiaries are those people, who are:
- Bad Credit Record Holders -: People with less-than-perfect credit score can find these loans advantageous not only regarding securing instant funding access but also in improving their credit profile. They can efficiently manage their repayments from their regular income.
- Unemployed People -: Losing the job can be tough especially when not much saving is there in your bank account. By using these guaranteed payday loans for unemployed by direct lenders, managing extra expenses should not be a matter of concern.
- Students Pursuing Undergraduate Study -: Yes, education aspirants can also see their opportunity to avail these cash advances. However, it may require their employment status, but they can easily accomplish their needs for their better study.
Is BCH the Best Lending Hub for Quick Cash Loans & Why?
Our working culture is pure and dedicated to the better finances of our clients. We never appreciate ourselves but feel proud to have positive responses from our borrowers. Since we have intercepted quick cash loans in our products' list, we have been able to increase our borrowers' numbers subsequently because we finance their needs with salient attributes, for instance:
- Loan disbursal in just 1 hour
- No early payout fees
- Easy-to-repay deal
- No provision of hidden charges
- Safe trustworthy lending
- No physical appearance required
- High Acceptance rate
These features are enough to describe our significant presence at the FinTech market of the UK. In fact, we have received maximum numbers of applications on these instant cash loans this year and more to expect in coming days
Apply now...Your journey from bad credit to good credit will definitely start from here and we vouch for complete assistance during the way. We understand your financial concerns and you understand our commitment because both will bring a positive outcome to your financial life.

How old is English?
[1] Question is whether a 'natural' wooded landscape ever existed in Britain. We know for instance that the oak never reached Ireland naturally. After the melting of the icecap, the Irish Sea immediately filled up, blocking the spread of the oak towards Ireland. I've calculated that it's even doubtful that the oak reached the British mainland the natural way. An oak has a slow spreading mode (heavy acorns) and the natural bridge over the English Channel broke down early on (after 1500 years). Oaks survived the Ice Age in Southern France, 1000 km south of the Channel. If the oak reached Britain naturally, then it must have been 'just in time'. The pace of spreading must have been some 750 meter average per year. Even considering that jays move acorns all around, this is fast. The acorn must germinate, become a tree and produce acorns himself. More likely is that humans imported oaks into Britain.
[2] A Roman soldier retired after 20 years of service. Many were at that moment not even 40 years old. At the age of 33-34 he was considered to be a veteran and was put on the third and last line when the legion was deployed for battle. His main task was to prevent the soldiers in front of him from fleeing. He also was the last line of defence. His main weapon was the thrusting spear (but he had a sword too). The young lads in front of him used mainly the gladius, the short sword.
[3] Medio+lano = middle of the fertile plain (lane) of the Po river. In fact, it was traditionally a 'middle' place, a neutral place where intertribal politics could be discussed.
[4] The logical consequence of all those calculations is that food was very expensive in Rome. "Panem et circenses" , the distribution of bread during the games, wasn't a simple act of imperial propaganda. Without that, the city would have lost too many inhabitants. Rome's prestige would have shrunk with it. The spectacular growth of Rome between 50 BC and 50 AD was largely based upon war booty.
Hannibal refused to besiege Rome, despite the fact that he had plenty of opportunity to do so. He knew that the real power of Rome was not linked to the city itself, nor to the number of its inhabitants. The power of Rome laid in the political system, e.g. the capacity to convert former enemies into loyal citizens. So Hannibal attempted to destroy the economic powerhouse of Rome: Italy's agriculture. But he soon realized that he had not enough men to do so. Such a destruction required the spreading of his army and this would have made him very vulnerable. Rome kept always some legions in his neighbourhood, forced him to maintain his army concentrated. Hannibal therefore urged Carthage to send more men. But public funds in Carthage were very low, and the rich merchants were reluctant to invest personal money in an adventure with an uncertain outcome. When Hannibal received the news of the refusal of Carthage, he knew he was doomed.
Calculation of the European population
First method :
|170 000
Second (Bruges) :
|145 000
Third method (Pompeii):
|170 000
Fourth method (insulae):
|250 000
184 000
It is clear that Rome could not have one million inhabitants.
At the time of Julius Caesar, 50 BC, Rome was had say 80 000 - 90 000 inhabitants. The area within the republican walls (until 40 BC) is also known and at least half the size of the city in AD 271.
Consider the historic statistical average that the number of professional soldiers represent something between 0.5% up to 1.5% of the total population. For belligerent Rome itself I'm prepared to go up to 5 % (almost the size of a militia). This means that the city of Rome itself was capable of delivering only one single legion (=5000 legionnaires) at the end of the republic! As the total Roman army during the age of Caesar counted some 120 000 soldiers, then we can only conclude that the Romans recruited the bulk of their soldiers outside the city. At least 90% of the Roman soldiers were therefore NOT from the city itself but were Italians, South-Gauls, Spaniards, South-Germans, Greeks, etc.
It is also a common mistake to believe that the Roman senators originated from the city itself. 98% of the senators came from other regions, but the idea was that they could co-rule the city. Ruling the city meant ruling the Empire. This was the Roman system: the incorporation of foreigners into the center of power. This brought stability and loyalty. That's one very important reason why the Empire lasted so long. The Roman army was based upon the same system, 98% of the legionnaires were recruited outside Roma city.
Check: When the Empire fell, Rome had an estimated population of 50 000 - 60 000. The city needed no longer to import grain from Egypt.
In theory, Britain could feed some 150 000 city inhabitants. Considering the not always ideal climate, it must have been closer to 100 000. This represents 50 villages with 2000 inhabitants. Some cities were bigger. London, Caerleon, and a few others had closer to 4000 inhabitants.
The wall around London was build for growth within. All similar walled cities were build with that in mind, including medieval Bruges. The orange zone above represent the probable rows of houses.
The total surface intra muros was about 124 ha (my calculation). Which gives us 18,600 max. inhabitants if the density of Rome is supposed.
This figure is unacceptable for it supposes a much higher density of streets, similar to the modern pattern. The modern part of the city, roughly between St Paul's cathedral and the London Tower - which of course are of a post-Roman date - has clearly far more streets. I haven't counted them but a tenfold is certainly the case. We must keep in mind that space was still in large supply at the time.
What I see is a paucity of streets.
What I suspect is that people build their houses alongside the roads. A lot of space remained unused. This extensive use of space in London happened before the walls were build. After all, London was 'lands' and a 'land' was a house with its surrounding land.
Given the streets on the map, I calculated some 620 houses, taking for each a width of about 6 metres. The calculation
gave about 4000 inhabitants as a result, take or give a few hundreds. Well, I am prepared to concede a few thousands
inhabitants more. But that was about it.
Maybe 5 or 6 cities had more than 2500 inhabitants in Britain. And what about the many villages? In reality Britain had more 'cities', which makes the average size of a British town smaller. The good news is that Britain had indeed a fair number of villages. The bad news is that Britain's cities were too sparsely populated and as many city dwellers went back to the countryside after 250 AD. The British cities became gradually less populated from that time on. When the Anglo-Saxons arrived, they found most cities abandoned.
Compare : in 1821 the population of Sheffield had reached 31 314 inhabitants. Today it's close to 530 000.

collectAI with new brand appearance and website relaunch
collectAI, the company for digital receivables management, is relaunching its brand appearance combining it with a new internet presence. The new corporate identity adds a suitable face to the digital, AI based services of the Hamburg fintech firm. The new look is meant to provide more clarity and a higher brand recognition. Founded in 2016, the subsidiary of the Otto Group consults and serves clients across all industries. Its portfolio consists of fintech companies, banks, e-commerce platforms, insurers, publishing houses as well as utility companies and could soon expand to further sectors. Its geographical focus is on DACH, UK and the Nordics.
"We provide digital services to innovate receivables management. To connect invoices, dunning and debt collections with artificial intelligence and digitisation needs further explanation. Therefore, the core of the brand needs to reflect our professionalism and power to innovate. ", says Mirko Krauel, CEO of collectAI. "Our new appearance strengthens exactly this aspect – also in comparison to market competitors."
The collectAI logo remains a central brand element. Its incisive, modern typography has been developed into a name mark designation. It is supported by a unique "signet" resembling a flower which replicates and applies creatively the "c" and "o" from the brand name. The colour palette of the CI has been newly interpreted, reduced and partially adapted. collectAI places emphasis on a few bright and strong colour accents in combination with a darker, cooler shade. This selection is based on the claim to be perceived as modern, self-confident and in the same time trustworthy towards clients as well as consumers.
About collectAI
collectAI provides AI-based receivables services, covering the end-to-end process from e-invoice, dunning to debt collection. The company helps its clients balance between collection rates, costs and customer retention. Combining high automation and deep learning algorithms, collectAI digitises the whole process. This fundamentally improves the customer experience by putting the needs and behaviour of the end consumer to the centre of the service. collectAI is founded in 2016 and an affiliate company of the Otto Group, Germany's largest online retailer. It currently has 25m EUR receivables under management and around 35 employees at its headquarters in Hamburg.

When we were pregnant with Emmett, Jake and I decided to go on a babymoon. We didn't have all the money in the world but I like to find deals and make them. And that's exactly what I did. I created an affordable all-inclusive cruise trip WITH airfare for (just under) on $500. We all like a good deal so I wanted to share with you how to plan an all-inclusive cruise for $500!
So how did we score a Caribbean cruise babymoon under $500 for the two of us including airfare? Let me begin with the fact that I am sure there are more ways of doing this than mine. This is just how I did it!
Let's rewind to 2013 when I began researching credit cards. Jake and I had never owned one as a married couple, because we–well–did not believe in them. We were (and are) hard core Dave Ramsey fans and believed in cash and debit cards. But once I realized we had this solid budget down, I decided to start researching credit cards for the sole purpose of earning air miles. I ended up finding the The Barclay Card, and although it does have an $89 annual fee, what we earn back every month pays for itself in around 2 months of use.
Here are a couple of the reasons I chose this card:
- Whatever I spend my money on, I get 2 points for every $1. We're talking groceries, date nights, gasoline, etc. The only things I really can't put on the card are utility bills, insurances, (previously) student loans and our mortgage.
- The points work like this: 2,500 = $25. You basically just drop the last two 0's.
- When we signed on, after we spent a certain amount (I think $1,000) in a certain time (I think 3 months) we were automatically given 40,000 points. Take off those two 0's and that means we were given $400 for free.
- You can redeem your points for ANY type of travel. Airlines, cruises, hotels, etc.
- Once you have redeemed your points for travel you are given back 5% from your purchase in points. (When we did this it was 10% but they switched about a year or so ago).
Here is the KEY for us though : We pay off our credit card every month.
I'm not saying this to boast, but merely as a statement as to how this is beneficial and not negative to us in any way. Also, I write that there to reiterate if you don't trust yourself to pay off your credit card monthly, this is probably not the best option.
We saved up enough points on the card over the course of a year and a half to do this. I scoured the internet for the best deal on a cruise and got our flights in there too. If my memory serves me correctly, all of that was around $1,500 and we paid the balance out of pocket which was–you guessed it–just under $500. We had such an amazing trip and I think it felt even better because we knew we had worked hard to get it!
For anyone wondering, we picked a 7 day cruise with Celebrity Cruises that stopped at one island a day except for one "At Sea" day. Here are some photos from our trip!
What's the best deal you ever scored on a vacation or cruise?

In the latest after-school "science cooking" activity, students created their own chocolate and bubble gum. The experiment required lessons in chemical reactions, involving mixing, heating and rolling out the bubble gum dough. Accurate measurements were key to achieving the right flavors for the bubble gum. The chocolate had to "cure" overnight, creating an atmosphere of anticipation of what they would find the next day.
It was a tasty lesson in science, math and gastronomy that the children will remember. For more on INMED's after-school program, visit www.opportunitycenter.us/program.

This has got to be one of the best stories you'll ever read that has to do with Wham's song Last Christmas. Remember about five years ago when people though the world was going to end? It had to do with the Mayan calendar and a whole slew of theories about the fact that the world was slated to end soon and that there was nothing to be done for it. If you recall this was enough to send a lot people into doomsday mode, which meant that they believed this would be their last Christmas. Well for the DJ at a particular radio station that meant blasting out Wham's song Last Christmas in a continual loop for about 14 times before his coworkers could break down the door that he'd barricaded with swivel chairs.
Call me nutty, and many have, but if the end of the world was coming I don't think Last Christmas would be the song I chose to welcome in the end of days. No offense to George Michael but it's not exactly the most fulfilling song that might signify what it means to be living in your last few hours. Of course hearing it 14 times in a row might make a lot of people wish for the end but at the same time it might just numb you to the joy that Christmas music is supposed to bring. Ever notice how that happens? You hear Christmas music so often that eventually you can't hear anything but noise, an effect that tends to come from just wishing you could drown it out somehow. Eventually the brain starts flipping dials and switches to make sure that it can help you to filter it out and hear it but not have to listen.
Christmas music is great and all, it's typically light, fun, and is meant to be enjoyed, but there's a limit that some folks can't go past and being one of them I'd fully agree that having to listen to Last Christmas more than twice in a row would be the limit. It's a song that gets rolled out every year for this holiday just like so many others and that people enjoy for a while when it's finally here, but there are moments when you just want to turn the dial or hit the next station and jam out to something else. In fact it's kind of like that with a lot of Christmas songs no matter how well they're done. I think at this point the only song I could listen to more than a few times in a day is the Trans Siberian Orchestra when they really get going. No words, just music, and it's awesome.
With much respect to all the Christmas songs out there it's much easier to sing them over and over when you're a kid and fully enjoy the sound and the meaning behind them. As an adult however you've heard them, you've experienced them, and it's time to put them to rest.

Who is more Smarter Male or Female, Find it here
The stereotype that men are smarter than women has a long history but in the battle of the sexes who actually has the superior intellect when it comes down to it. Our boys smarter than girl early studies showed that male brains are eight to thirteen percent larger in volume and female brains however business since been attributed to differences in body size.
Women's brains out more diversification or brain folding and as a result the greater cortical surface area besides bigger isn't always better sperm whales and dolphins all have larger brains than humans and while they are smart their cognitive abilities are less than our own.
There are other structural differences though like males having more connections within hemispheres while women have more connections between hemispheres but overall MRI brain imaging shows significant overlap in the physical structure between the sexes.
After studying 1400 brains and comparing the sexes researchers found that mostly all men and women show among female and male typical structures in the brain. The study also evaluated to gender stereotypical behaviors like how video games are often considered male behavior scrapbooking is female and the results found only 0.1 percent of test subjects displayed only male or only female typical behaviour.
Test on intelligence find similar results with major I two studies showing negligible or no sex differences in general intelligence but do show women having stronger verbal abilities while men show stronger visual spatial abilities.
Interestingly studies show more male variance and test with their scores being both the worst and the best one meta-analysis of 22 studies did find meant to be 3.3 25.5 IQ point above women but this study has been called into question by academics who found the methodology flawed.
In academic performance of language math and science women consistently receive better grades in seventy percent of nations but on s80 testing in the u.s. mens or 33 points higher in math and science. other tests like the program for international student assessment show both sexes performing equally in several countries with girls performing better and some like Iceland suggesting cultural and environmental differences and not necessarily biological differences at play.
But researchers found that stereotypes about women's performance actually impacts how well they do when told that a particular map test had significant gender differences women performed significantly worse than their male peers while women who were told there was no difference scored the same.
This phenomenon is known as the stereotype threat even Google search data shows that parents are 2.5 times more likely to search is my son gifted then is my daughter gifted. Despite eleven percent more girls and gifted programs in america and girls pick up on these biases as early as six years old when told the story at age five about a person who is really really smart both boys and girls associate intelligence with their own gender but by age 6 both girls and boys picked a male character as the smartest.
in a similar experiment kick your ass if they wanted to play a game for people who are really really smart and again at age five both sexes wanted to play but my age six girls decided these games weren't for them. And the women do strive to work in STEM fields studies show their face barriers and a double-blind studies science faculty from research universities rated application for a lab manager position what they didn't know is that the applications were randomly assigned either male or female names.
As a result faculty perceived the mail applicant things to be significantly more competent hireable and deserving of mentoring even though the applications with female names were identical. Male were also offer higher starting salaries an average of thirty thousand verses the females 26,000 so these studies present a sobering reality research says point2 greater equality between the sexes with passing decades and education and in spite of these barriers women continue to contribute to our collective scientific knowledge.

Fellow mathematician Isabella lava said music honey selection does exactly nothing to convince me that women are capable of doing mathematical research at the same level as men i have never had any doubt about that in the first place. What I take from it instead is that we as a society and women alike are becoming better at encouraging and nurturing mathematical talent and women and more capable of recognizing excellence and women's work.

The official residence of Czech prime ministers, the Kramář Villa overlooks the Vltava from a wonderful vantage point between Prague Castle and Letná Plain. It was built in the 1910s by Karel Kramář, who himself served as the first prime minister of Czechoslovakia following its foundation a century ago this year. However, the politician had already been extremely well-known prior to 1918, guide Irena Saidlová told me at the Kramář Villa.
Masopust celebrations have been held in various parts of Prague. The annual
carnival in which many people dress up in masks and costumes was marked on
Saturday in districts including Letná and Karlín. Next week the Mardi
Gras-like celebrations will take place in Malá Strana, Žižkov and other
parts of the city.
Masopust has traditionally occurred between the Epiphany (January 6) and Ash Wednesday, when the pre-Easter Lenten period begins.
Prague police were called out to Prague's National Theatre on Friday
evening following a suicide threat, the Czech News Agency reported. A woman
had phoned a helpline saying that she intended to kill herself during a
performance of the opera Carmen at the historic venue.
The woman later called again saying she was no longer planning to take her life. The opera was not cancelled but the presence of numerous uniformed police officers drew a great deal of attention from audience members. A police spokesperson described it as an "unusual and complicated situation".
The City of Prague has received the necessary construction permit for the long planned renovation of Wenceslas Square to begin. At least half. The spokesman for City Hall, Vít Hofman, confirmed that work on the lower part of Prague's most famous square, will start next week and should be completed by the end of 2018.
Thousands of people braved the cold this week, queuing up for hours in rain and snow, for a rare chance to see the Bohemian crown jewels which went on display at Prague Castle on the occasion of the centenary of the birth of Czechoslovakia in 1918. Who were the coronation jewels made for and what are some of the legends attached to them? Czech Radio spoke with the jeweler whose family has been in charge of their maintenance for years.
Emergency steps have been taken to close one of Prague's main bridges to traffic after a report highlighting its dangerous state. The moves came fast on the heels of warnings that many other bridges are in a poor state of repair and follows the collapse of one walkway over the Vltava at the end of last year.
Seven senior state and church representatives unlocked the chamber that
holds the Czech crown jewels on Monday. The valuable treasures, which are
among the symbols of Czech statehood, are only removed from the chamber in
Prague's St. Vitus Cathedral on special occasions.
From Tuesday they will be on display at the Vladislav Hall at Prague Castle as part of an exhibition entitled Founded 1918 marking the centenary of the establishment of Czechoslovakia.
The crown jewels consist of a crown that belonged to St. Wenceslas, a royal orb and sceptre and a number of other items.
Seven representatives of church and state are set to unlock the chamber in
Prague's St Vitus cathedral on Monday in which the Czech crown jewels are
stored. The valuable artefacts will be put display for the general public
on Tuesday at Prague Castle's Vladislav Hall, the traditional site of the
coronation of kings.
The crown jewels are regarded as the symbol of Czech statehood and history and consist of St. Wenceslas' crown and the royal orb and sceptre. They are kept permanently under lock and key in a reinforced safe and are only put on display on very special occasions.
The exhibition at Prague Castle is part of a major exhibition marking the centenary of the establishment of Czechoslovakia and is open to the public for free until January 23.
Where are the most unusual places to have a drink in Prague? What are the city's five best small breweries? And which five river islands are worth discovering? A new book called '500 Hidden Secrets of Prague' gives answers to all these questions and more and invites both tourists and locals to discover places off the beaten track.
The astronomical clock at the Old Town Hall in Prague is being removed on
Monday to undergo repairs. The work is expected to take five or six months.
The clock will be supplemented by original fragments that were removed
after it was damaged during the Prague Uprising of 1945, allowing the
mechanism to return to the form it had in the 1860s.
The oldest part of the astronomical clock, one of Prague's best-known landmarks, dates back to 1410.

Many of the same foundational issues found encountered when authenticating website evidence apply with equal force to text messages and internet chat room content; however, the fact that chat room messages are posted by third parties, often using "screen names" means that it cannot be assumed that the content found in chat rooms was posted with the knowledge or authority of the website host.
One commentator has suggested that the following foundational requirements must be met to authenticate chat room evidence:
- [e]vidence that the individual used the screen name in question when participating in chat room conversations (either generally or at the site in question);
- [e]vidence that, when a meeting with the person using the screen name was arranged, the individual … showed up;
- [e]vidence that the person using the screen name identified [himself] as the [person in the chat room conversation];
- evidence that the individual had in [his] possession information given to the person using the screen name;
- [and][e]vidence from the hard drive of the individual's computer [showing use of the same screen name].
Courts also have recognized that exhibits of chat room conversations may be authenticated circumstantially.
- (References In Re F.P., A Minor, in which the defendant argued that the testimony of the internet service provider was required, or that of a forensic expert. 878 A.2d at 93- 94). The court held that circumstantial evidence, such as the use of the defendant's screen name in the text message, the use of the defendant's first name, and the subject matter of the messages all could authenticate the transcripts.
- (References United States v. Simpson, the court held that there was ample circumstantial evidence to authenticate printouts of the content of chat room discussions between the defendant and an undercover detective, including use of the e-mail name of the defendant, the presence of the defendant's correct address in the messages, and notes seized at the defendant's home containing the address, e-mail address and telephone number given by the undercover officer. 152 F.3d at 1249).
- (References United States v. Tank, the court found sufficient circumstantial facts to authenticate chat room conversations, despite the fact that certain portions of the text of the messages in which the defendant had participated had been deleted. 200 F.3d at 629-31). There, the court found the testimony regarding the limited nature of the deletions by the member of the chat room club who had made the deletions, circumstantial evidence connecting the defendant to the chat room, including the use of the defendant's screen name in the messages, were sufficient to authenticate the messages.
Based on the foregoing cases, the rules most likely to be used to authenticate chat room and text messages, alone or in combination, appear to be:
- 901(b)(1) (witness with personal knowledge) and
- 901(b)(4) (circumstantial evidence of distinctive characteristics).
Lorraine v. Markel Amer. Ins. Co., 241 F.R.D. 534 (D. Md. 2007).
