I recently spoke at the New Zealand National Digital Forum (view on Slideshare). This blog post covers some of the things I discussed.
In August, Max Ogden, an American developer and open web advocate, tweeted this: "I would love for 'small data' to be the 'slow food' of the internet".
At the time I thought, "Right on. That's a really interesting idea." Then I did what most of us do on Twitter when we see something poignant. I re-tweeted it, I even favourited it… and then I forgot all about it. A month later I watched Candy Elsmore's video entry to Mix & Mash, "A Grand Mother". The tweet and the remix seemed related somehow.
As I watched Elsmore's video, Ogden's tweet began making a strange sort of sense. In the context of DigitalNZ, I began thinking that small data might refer to intimate, hand-picked collections of photographs, audio, newspaper articles, and video. There are parallels between the values of the slow food movement and the acts of creating, curating and sharing personal datasets. I am not sure that this is what Max meant, but this is how I have come to understand the relationship between small data and slow food.
Slow food is about preserving and promoting traditional food products, often through the formation of seed banks to preserve heirloom varieties. There are ways of preparing food that have been handed down for generations and there is something special about old varieties of fruits and vegetables that makes people want to continue growing them. To take part in these practices is to touch history. Similarly, small data is frequently motivated by the desire to hold onto and share special things from the past. We need better tools for curating, contextualising and sharing these treasures.
Hangi Revealed. Joann Ransom, 2007. Kete Horowhenua. CC-BY-NC-SA.
Slow food also celebrates local cuisine within regions. It embodies a notion that place matters. Although many large datasets have a geographic dimension, their very comprehensiveness dilutes their ability to represent place. A layer of Picasa images draped over a Google map gives clues into the structure of geographic space but it is largely silent on the nature of our subjective experiences. One way to represent our understandings of place is to focus and edit. Instead of showing everything all at once, you convey a sense of place by concentrating on the small set of things that matter and weaving them together into a coherent visual narrative. If big data is a mind-boggling layer of zoomable thumbnails spread across a global interactive map, small data is a cork board pinned with photographs from our trip to Takou Bay.
Slow food often involves organising small-scale processing. Doing it yourself is empowering. There is just you, your tools and a vision. In an age when we angst over how to make sense of an ever-increasing deluge of data, working with a small dataset can be liberating. Candy Elsmore's remix worked with a data set so small that she could print the individual items on pieces of paper and arrange them on a table by hand. The scale of the data enabled her to devise her own methods and tools that. Working with large data in unconventional ways requires specialist technical knowledge; small data is democratic.
None of this is to imply that we should turn our backs on big data. DigitalNZ currently indexes 27 million items and that number is growing by the day. Instead consider this a gentle reminder that we should enable people to work with the small and intimate alongside the large and comprehensive. Big and small data require different approaches. We should make sure that we collectively providing tools that can support both.Comments

We love the small stories idea Chris! We're encouraging people to do a similar thing with our My Gallery function - http://christchurchartgallery.org.nz/mygallery/ The idea is to let people use our collection to tell stories or create sets that mean something to them.--Dave • 2011-12-13 00:00:00 UTC
Great! I was thrilled when you approached me at NDF and filled me in on your new personal gallery tool. I think it's a great piece of work and it is super fun to play with.--Chris • 2011-12-13 00:00:00 UTC

Are you willing to go to Central CA? I can offer EM rotation. PM if interested.
No 401k?
ER Groups
gubernaculum replied to PAS2014's topic in Emergency Medicinepart of CEP and dabble with Emergent Medical Associates. I feel in the majority of California APPs have a limited scope in the ED unless you move to the central valley or remote parts of northern cali
Sorry, try PMing now.
Took all three phases of the ACEP/SEMPA EM Academy. I found it useful and a good refresher. In no way is it a replacement for fellowship/residency but is a good stopgap especially for PAs who have been out practicing for a year or two. I am familiar with EMA. They are smaller than other ER groups in California but has a good infrastructure. Many USC grads.The 1099 is typical and it's up to you and your financial needs if that is more beneficial or if employment with a W2 provides more bang for the buck (personally I do both). The EMA training academy is not a formal residency nor was it meant to be one. It is much more informal: no clinical practicum, grand rounds, M&M. Assuming you are in California, If you want formal training I would recommend EM PA residency at UCSF-Fresno, Arrowhead Regional, or Kaweah Delta. Hope that helps.

i'm curious if that .pdf is old. I know Dr. Faeber is part of Arrowhead Orthopedics, and that group is affiliated with the PA ortho residency at ARMC. They even have a link to the ARMC residency on their website (on the right hand column): http://www.arrowheadortho.com

Are Nike, Under Armour And Adidas Overpaying For College Athletic Division Sponsorships?
The lightness of the footwear encourages a quick gait cycle while helping you really enhance your operating cadence. Having used them for runs up to round 5 miles I am glad nike air max 90 infrared patch pack to report that I like using these footwear for highway racing occasions and see them as very best for short distance runs on the finish of a triathlon too.
Once you consider trainers for girls, one of the first issues to folks's mouth is the Nike Shox Navina. Regardless of the shady advertising, the shoes seem to nonetheless be a highly widespread selection nike air max sneakers mens, and many ladies are getting the benefits of the Easytone exercise. The advice is don't learn too much into the specifics of muscle toning in Reeboks's claims, strive them out and see if they be just right for you.
This shoe is built with added shock absorption in the forefoot, making for a easy and cozy feel. The added comfort does come with just a little additional weight, nonetheless, as this is one nike air max 90 negras y naranjas of the heavier footwear. You possibly can order these sneakers in numerous widths, which is ideal for someone with wide ft. It is good for someone who has low arches.

A mountain of momentum behind you ah... Ok. I'll post today's run after I've uploaded it tomorrow. It will give you a good laugh at the very least... The last 15km was a cross country slog of gargantuan proportions because it's one of the worse planets I've had the misfortune to find myself trying to cross in an SRV. Skiddy doesn't do it justice!It's why this race is brilliant and also a nice change of pace. It's not just about going really fast and blazing across the finish, but quickly and safely coming to a stop.
The difficulty of this is wonderfully compounded by the literal mountain of momentum behind you.
I fished (it sure as hell wasn't in a straight line!) the course but was it a good time...? [haha]
The only upside was the 2+ km altitude I managed at one point. I'll find the actual figures from the video footage tomorrow.
PS... The fun part was speaking to my wife Zoe, (lesbian couple) on the phone just before I got to the base as I was supposed to go pick her up at 4.30 (you'll see the timings tomorrow, the UK is on summer time atm). I had the phone in one hand, the joystick in the other and the throttle but my elbow! It may have got a little erratic around that point...
PSS needless to say, I didn't explain that I was also trying to drive an SRV across an alien planet in order to get my SRV into the garage of a planetary base while saying I'd be right there... Darling! [redface]

I'm not feeing it today. I just want to hole up inside. But I can't. Must adult.
I've been driving and analysing.
I've come up with 3 things – I think I am probably lonely, I think I am lazy and I think I am comparing myself too much to others' and these things are all combining to make me feel how I am.
I don't necessarily feel lonely, but I do not have a significant other, family or many friends – and aren't we told it is human to want/have/need company? Perhaps this thought is just an example of me comparing myself to others…?
I am lazy. I do not want to put in the hard yards to make myself feel better. I want to stay home, alone, with my cat. I know exercise and healthy eating usually benefits and negates this negative affect, but I cannot be bothered doing any of that. I just want things to be easy. Please.
Everywhere I turn there are people in couples or families or groups of friends and thus, I find myself comparing. I know I shouldn't. I tell myself I love being a self-sufficient, independent woman, but am I just kidding myself? Hiding/masking the reality, the truth of my feelings?
Ugh. I don't know. I have questions, no answers.

As more and more people decide to quit smoking for good and find a better alternative, vaping becomes more and more popular. One reason that vaping is so well-loved among former smokers is that it offers an experience that's as much like real smoking as you can get without actually lighting up.
The major advantage of the Electronic Cigarette over the traditional tobacco cigarette is the elimination of combustion process.
Research on nicotine and its exact affect on depression is in its early stages, however the signs at present are that it can aid the symptoms
E-cigs stand out among vaping devices as very simple, easy-to-use options that replicate the experience of smoking very closely. They look, taste, and hit like cigarettes; you can feel the vapour in your mouth and exhale a satisfying puff of vapour after every draw. Many even have tips that light up when you draw for a truly authentic experience.
If you enjoy vaping and have been doing it for a while, then you are likely aware that the vaping industry evolves constantly. It seems like every week, coil styles change, battery life improves, and new devices hit the market. One relatively recent change, though, is not about vaping devices but rather about the e-liquid that goes in them.

Hello there, speedsters! Welcome back to my blog!
To keep up with my goal of consistency in my blog, I am back with another edition of Waiting On Wednesday! There are so many amazing releases coming out every week, and so many that are yet to be released! I'm sure I'm not the only one crippling under the impending doom of new books. Publishers really don't have no mercy, don't they?
What is Waiting On Wednesday?
It is a weekly event that was originally created by Jill @ Breaking the Spine. Because Jill isn't hosting it anymore, the event has now linked with Can't Wait Wednesday, which is based on WOW and is hosted by Tressa @ Wishful Endings.
This week, I'm waiting for…
Frankly in Love by David Yoon
High school senior Frank Li is a Limbo–his term for Korean-American kids who find themselves caught between their parents' traditional expectations and their own Southern California upbringing. His parents have one rule when it comes to romance–"Date Korean"–which proves complicated when Frank falls for Brit Means, who is smart, beautiful–and white. Fellow Limbo Joy Song is in a similar predicament, and so they make a pact: they'll pretend to date each other in order to gain their freedom. Frank thinks it's the perfect plan, but in the end, Frank and Joy's fake-dating maneuver leaves him wondering if he ever really understood love–or himself–at all.
Okay, please tell me I'm not the only one freaking out? I know I'm not, as this is one of the most anticipated books of the fall season for a lot of people. But listen, this just sounds so excellent, okay? I could actually burst into tears thinking about how badly I want to read this.
I am an absolute sucker for YA contemporary romance, and this looks like it's going to be chock-full of heart, self-discovery, and swoons! And of course, Frank is going through an identity crisis, and same.
This has the fake dating trope, and I am shaking from excitement, holy hell! And Frank looks like the kind of character I will just fall in love with and want to protect, and honestly, I'm not mad. Plus, that cover? Literal 3D perfection. (Fun fact: Did you know that the first print run of Frankly in Love will have blue-stained edges? Get to pre-ordering that stunner!!)
Also, the book trailer Penguin Teen made for the book made 10x more excited and now I need this to be a movie! If you haven't given it a watch, check it out! Be blessed by this excellence:
(The bar for book trailers has been raised really high, just saying.)
Release date: September 10th, 2019
You can preorder Frankly in Love by David Yoon via Amazon, Book Depository, Barnes & Noble, Powell's Books, and Indiebound.
And that concludes this blog post!
Are you as excited about Frankly in Love as I am? Have you added it to your TBR? Have you preordered it yet?
What book are you waiting for this week?
I hope you all enjoyed and I'll see you on the next one.
Carolina 💕🌈

President of United Church of Christ in Nations, popularly known as Hekan, Reverend Amos Kiri, has urged Federal Government to take action against those hiding under religion to make Nigeria unsafe.
Reverend Kiri lamented that Nigerians are no longer safe on their farms, on the roads and even in their homes, hence the need for government to be proactive in bringing those aiding, abetting or perpetrating the heinous crimes to book.
Addressing the ordination service of 10 newly promoted pastors at Hekan headquarters in Kaduna on Sunday, Reverend Kiri commended President Muhammadu Buhari's government for its strides in bringing back the good reputation of the country, just as he lamented that, the government's efforts are dwarfed by rampant kidnappings, armed robbery and unknown gunmen attacks among others.
"The government of the day needs to intensify its actions in curbing this menace. Today, Nigerians are not safe in their farms, on the roads and even in their homes. Government must therefore be proactive in bringing those aiding or physically participating in these heinous crimes to book. The law must be allowed to take its just cause. Most of the perpetrators of these crimes hide under religion to carry out their evil plans."
The Hekan president also expressed concern over the protracted Tiv and Jukun crisis, calling on leaders of both Benue and Taraba states to eschew bitterness, and allow peace to reign. "The recent killing in these two states is a great thing of concern. The brethren in the two states have been living in harmony together for centuries; inter marrying and sharing common boundaries and traditions.
"I call on all leaders in the two states to eschew bitterness, bury their hatchet and allow peace to reign. May I also extend this call to other states/communities where clashes still occur to as a matter of urgency, dialogue together and seek for lasting solutions to causes of these crises. Without peace, there will be no development," he said.
Speaking on the recent abduction of two teachers and six schoolgirls at the Engravers College Kaduna, Reverend Kiri expressed fear that the level of literacy in the country cannot improve if parents don't have confidence that, their children are safe during school hours. He therefore called on government not to rest on its oars until the victims are released.
The Hekan president reminded the newly ordained pastors of their roles in church development and nation building, saying that, they must exhibit more maturity in the handling of church affairs.
"The position of a Reverend is an exalted position. You must exhibit more maturity in the handling of church affairs. Bring more innovations and creativity in programming in the church," he said.

There is nothing like having a discussion about stocks and having one that the two of us hang up our phone, fire up our laptops, and begin intensely researching. Today, we both discussed a consumer staple stock with a brand portfolio that is matched by few. In our quest for finding undervalued dividend growth stocks, we wanted to take a deeper look at Newell Brands, Inc. (NWL) today and run the company through the Dividend Diplomats' stock screener.

Bert's January Dividend Stock Watch List
With the first month of 2017 coming to a close, I thought it would be a good idea to put a dividend stock watch list together to focus in on a few companies that have caught my eye recently. What's crazy is that each day brings an exciting new day to the market and it seems like we have snapped out of our two month streak of constant appreciation and are finally starting to see some great companies trading at a discount. After my last purchase and Lanny's recent portfolio review, I am as motivated as every to keep pushing capital into the marketplace and increase my passive income as much as possible. Now lets take a look at my January Dividend Stock Watch List!
Realty Income (O) Dividend Stock Analysis – REVISITED
If you want to talk about how fast time flies, here is a perfect example. I was prepared to re-visit a dividend stock analysis that I thought I performed over Realty Income ("O") a couple of quarters ago. When I looked at the date on the original analysis…it was November 2015. I cannot believe 12 months have flown by that quickly…where has time gone? Even though I have reviewed the company in the past, I thought it would be a good idea to update the stock analysis I performed considering the recent pullback in price, the fact that they were one of the four stocks on my October Watch List, and the company's recent earnings release. A lot can change over 12 months, I think we can all attest to that in some capacity. So let's re-run Realty Income through our stock screener.
Bert's 3rd Quarter Goals Review
We are rounding third and heading home here. Considering the Cleveland Indians clinched the AL Central Division title this week, I figured a baseball reference to start the article off was pretty appropriate. Let's see if they can capture some of the same postseason magic the Cavs had during their run in May/June. At the end of each quarter, Lanny and I review our annual goals to monitor our progress towards hitting these marks. If we are on pace…great. If we are off track, well there is still time to make some adjustments despite the fact there are only three months remaining. Time to dig and perform my third quarter goals review.
Dividend Stock Analysis – Cardinal Health, Inc. (CAH)
A few weeks ago, I ran a stock screener and published my August dividend stock watch list. That screener had a new entrant that seemed to check most of our boxes for investing, Cardinal Health (CAH). Headquartered in the buckeye state, I instantly had flashbacks to college recruiting events since they sponsored A LOT of events at college. The stock price continues to fall, so I wanted to perform a detailed analysis on Cardinal Health before committing to buy this healthcare company. Here it is, my dividend stock analysis over Cardinal Health!
Bert's Q1 2016 Goals Review
The first quarter behind us. Boy did the stock market take us on a quite a ride for the first quarter. Plenty of stocks to consider/grab in the first part of the quarter and….well…the stock market has not stopped climbing for months. Regardless of how Mr. Market performed, I wanted to take this opportunity to reflect on the first three months and see how I am progressing towards the 2016 goals that I set back in December. It is still early on, so I can easily tweak where necessary! Now, lets dive into my Q1 2016 goals review.

On Thursday, a group of 15 women staged a protest in in Cartaya, Huelva. The women, who work on one of the farms involved marched with banners demanding to be allowed to go back home.
"We are here without a job, we have nothing, the money we had we sent it to our family. We are out of money to eat, we need to go back. We ask [King] Mohammed VI to send someone to help us so that we can return," Fátima, one of the protesters, said, in a video of the protest obtained by CNN.
"Our children are alone in Morocco, they have nobody to take care of them, we need to go back," she said. A video of the protesters discussing their situation was obtained by CNN from an activist group.
How to get home
Morocco's Foreign Affairs Ministry says its borders will reopen to citizens and residents starting July 14, but it's unclear how helpful the measures will be for the stranded women, as ferries to Morocco will be scheduled exclusively from the ports of Sète, in France, and the Italian port of Genoa -- which are both more than 1,000 km away from Spain's Huelva province.
Travelers on both ferries and flights back to Morocco will also have to provide a coronavirus test which is less than 48-hours old and to comply with strict hygiene measures that were not specified. But many of the women work in isolated areas and lack the money to travel to the ports, to fly or to be tested according to volunteers at Mujeres 24h.
Interfresa, one of the biggest strawberry pickers associations in Spain said that some workers had been in the country as early as December, and said it was in "daily contact" with the governments of Spain and Morocco.
The two countries signed an agreement in 2001 granting the seasonal workers temporary visas to harvest fruit in Spain. The Spanish government has extended residency permits for the women until September. 30, but has expressed its wish that they return to their homes.
"We are in permanent contact with the Moroccan authorities. It is a complex operation and the details have yet to be defined," a spokesperson for Spain's Foreign Minister told CNN on Thursday.
A spokesman for the Andalusian regional government, which includes Huelva province, told CNN that so far, it had successfully repatriated 106 affected women and five infants to Morocco through charter flights. Local officials have provided food and essential items to the workers and their employers have agreed to let them stay in their designated accommodation, the spokesperson added.
But Spanish NGOs -- which have repeatedly denounced what the conditions of seasonal farm work -- worry about the workers' living conditions.
"The farms that we have been able to access are not suitable for a long-term stay, many are prefabricated modules, they are designed for non-extreme weather conditions, with a large concentration of people in very small spaces, which doesn't meet what rules of the hiring in origin agreement," said Angels Escrivá, a spokesperson for NGO Mujeres 24h.
"When it has rained, they have told us that they have gotten wet and now with the heat, they have had to sleep on the ground outside," Escrivá added.
NGO workers at Mujeres 24h told CNN that some of the workers live in accommodation without running water and electricity.
Some of the women also dispute the local government's claim to have provided food, saying they are dependent on the charity of their employer.
In the video of the protest Thursday obtained by CNN, another seasonal worker pleaded. "Please help us, we are abandoned here. I have 4 children who are with my mother-in-law, who is doing me the favor.
"The work is done," said the woman, who was not identified. "We are no longer doing anything, we can only be at home, please help us, we have been like this for a month."

TECH TALK with Bob Dolph: Checking Your Contacts List
One of the most basic elements of an intrusion system is the alarm contact or switch used to secure doors, windows and other building openings. Although ubiquitous and not overly complex, alarm contacts nonetheless require the utmost attention to ensure proper alarm system operations. It's been a considerable time since we have discussed the important and exciting subject of magnetic alarm contact sensors.

I would classify this species as a Miniature Cattleya Orchid. This old plant was given to me couple of years ago by someone who was trimming trees in my neighborhood and had removed it from the tree branch where the roots had deeply penetrated. With care, patience and help from my wife, this beautiful flower emerged recently. Enjoy.

Second, I think your idea of this Advanced Lighting is wonderful! I too have been wondering about this. In another game I play they incorporated this and it makes it look SOOO much cooler. Though, there would need to be a option to turn it on and off (and only get the extra 'fire lighting' quest if you have it on). But all in all, I think they really should and need to do it. :D

As a young girl, Ashley spent six years in The First Tee program, where a mentor helped guide her to a career in golf management. Today, Ashley is paying it forward by helping kids who are currently in the program to find their own paths.
Colin, Blair and Clay, all members of The First Tee of Greater Austin, enjoy playing a round together at the Harvey Penick Golf Campus, which includes a 9-hole, PGA-designed golf course.
What Drives Us to Sponsor The First Tee?
The First Tee is a nationwide youth organization that not only teaches kids how to play golf, but gives them the skills they need to succeed in life. Using the game of golf as a hook, The First Tee mentors instill nine core values that give kids a sound strategy for meeting challenges, both on and off the course. The result is young adults who are prepared to become champions in whatever endeavors they choose to pursue. John Deere has been a sponsor since 2012.
Nine-year old Ellen, in her fourth year as a member of The First Tee, sees Ashley Skidmore as a role model-especially since Ashley used to walk the same course as a girl.
His Teaching Career Began at The First Tee.
Today, Jordan Spears is a middle school Career & Technology teacher. But in 2000, he was a member of The First Tee. That summer, Jordan was fortunate enough to attend The First Tee National Leadership Academy, being held on the campus of a Division 1 college. The experience changed his life. For the first time, he pictured himself going to college. Sure enough, Jordan went on to become the first person in his family to get a college degree. As for his style of teaching, Jordan credits his mentors at The First Tee: "They only encouraged you and pushed you to be the best that you could."

Christopher C. Baldwin was en route to Zanesville, Ohio, on business for the American Antiquarian Society in Worcester, Mass., when he became Ohio's first traffic fatality.
On August 20, 1835, Baldwin was riding out front with the stagecoach driver, and, while passing a drove of hogs on the roads, the horses became unmanageable and the stage rolled over on a decline. Baldwin was crushed under the stagecoach.
Though the National Road was a marvel of engineering for its time, the roads could be treacherous, especially through the Allegheny Mountains in Pennsylvania and Maryland.
Henry Rogers recorded his first impression of the foothills in eastern Ohio in his journal on August 29, 1838:
This afternoon's travel caps the climax, of all hills that we have traveled since leaving home, and a road a crooked as a black snake.
The most fearsome and terrific rocks rising to the height of from 40 or 50 ft. perpendicular on the right, while on the left there appeared a gulch that if a carriage would run off must hurry the rider to destruction in a twinkling. There were some places that appeared to be near 1000 ft. deep. This was on the west side of Wheeling Creek in Ohio. The road went down hill for better than a mile at an angle of something like 4 or 5 degrees. Then after we got down this hill and crossed the creek we had a tolerable level road until we got into Wheeling.
On September 2, 1838, they passed into Maryland, and Henry wrote:
This afternoon has furnished us with a great many curiosities. Within 3 miles of Cumberland we came in sight of two mountains which is ad captandum, or the match not to be found. These mountains are not of rocks but of one rock rising to the height of 5 or 600 ft. above the level of the road, it running right at the foot of the rock rising almost perpendicular above. There is a creek running in between these two monsters called the Wills Creek that empties into the Potomoc at Cumberland. In short it seems as thought nature had exhausted all her resources in forming these gigantic walls in the most deformed manner possible. The passenger is lost in admiration, surprise and wonder.
After leaving this place of rocks, we came to a most splendid bridge made across Wills Creek of very superior limestone with 2 arches and iron railing. Then we took the Baltimore Road and began to climb the hills and passed through some handsome groves of yellow pine of all sizes from 20 inches and under. We saw directly after going over the first mountain large clouds of smoke which on enquiring found out to be a fire in the mountain. We called at a public house for entertainment and they had no horse feed. Then another and ditto. Then on about 2 miles further we found a place and put up for the night at the tavern about 8 o'clock. This place is rather savage. We got supper and went to bed.
When Keri and I drove the National Road 165 years after Henry's trip, I found the mountain roads scary. Keri declared she would rather walk than ride down those hills in a horse and wagon. Neither one of us really enjoyed the mountainous part of the trip.
But the Alleghenies were very tame compared to what we experienced in June 2010, when our family journeyed to the Republic of Georgia and, as part of the trip, took a three-day mountain trek into the South Caucuses.
The drive in and out of the mountains was one of the most terrifying things I've ever experienced. Now, I wonder if Henry's family felt as vulnerable as I did as we were driving the roads on the way to Tusheti.
The BBC series World's Most Dangerous Roads featured the road to Tusheti in one of its episodes. Keri forwarded it to me, and when I watched it, my hands got clammy and I wanted to cry, because it was just exactly like I remembered it. And I don't think I overreacted…see for yourself!

Three Challenges that is crucial for's Fathers
Per year further information points toward the contact between biological dad effort and plus outcomes that are developmental little children. Turning out to be existing and parenting in any positive strategy to use harm all domain names of children's happiness. Fathers carry out a uncommon part in their kids's way of life and also, as particular times enhancement and roles evolve, new deficiencies grow.
Parenting, in the main, hasn't ever ended up more exacting having the proliferation of features, concepts , and the increased loss of a good number of family and district factors that are protective. While interested greatest for our couples is actually at the mind of your opinion, three very important portions of building will assist you men catch this vision from inside off.
1. Starting as a Parent
Parenting roles carry on to advance , and more and more fathers give yourself the best a lot more dynamic position in turning up young boys and girls. And search on parenting designs clarifies the demand for male parents to always be both supportive and demanding. Relationships necessitate consistent vision and rituals that are having build the parent-child bind are necessary. Property, autonomy , as well as action all attain from this rapport along with the responsive flow of link.
Additionally, positive parenting suggests training is going instructing rather than correction. Men can create a impact that is significant being focused on the axioms of classical parenting. This includes helping what you're looking for your sons or daughters in order to are aware of also to will compared to working on how to manage antagonistic behaviour.
A wealth of insight things to assistance of men really being heated and while that is responsive serving up habitual organize, alternate options , and guidelines.https://yourpillstore.com/pl/piperine-slim/ Students are better-regulated, socially adept, plus more ! able to cure problems anytime male parents use a approach that is balanced. But this style that is authoritative grow as small children mature and requires dads to switch using this method. Discovering baby's necessities inside of the arrangement of progression is critical to great connection that is father-child featuring equilibrium through changes.
To sum things up, unique rules of parenting integrate through each point of the child years. Nonetheless as children put together men must get used to the challenges coming from the stage that is current provides completely new activities for both young one and founder.
2. Generating such as an Adult Entertainment
The stages of toddler design will you be well-documented. Lesser concentration could have been dedicated to periods of discreet improvement, regularly bestowed since a one-size holds all from post-adolescence ahead. a good excuse is that at some time or another person building will be available and needs a hands-on preference, one headquartered visualization and promise. Daddies can choose this arc that is developmental individual who improves witness and broadens facts and know-how while in the duty.
This pathway of self-development deepens and produces knowing of self, interactions , as well as that the earth works out. Parents which keep the process of digestion usually are reflective concerning their reviews and proactively start thinking about dreams, special progression , as well as deepening human relationships. In starting to be more aware and effective, you can easlily consider some a whole lot more openly. And all this space that is developmental our company to genuinely discover kids, their demands and particular gift suggestions, versus wind up being enmeshed within their information.
Even though this task is definitely laborious, it is always noteworthy there is very small connection between age and periods of parent programming. The truth is, a good number grownups really do not demonstrate in direction of the time of showing on functions among them post, what they have taught from their experience of indeed being fathered , and modern society's stuck child-rearing principles.
The path that is developmental male parents to search for these viewpoints and possess a much self-authoring position situated in self-identified values. Even though this conception is a lot simplified, programming proceeds in difficulty on the intrapersonal and social realms, predicated on all of our method of comprehending (intellectual) and meaning-making (social-emotional). Sometimes, persons reach maturity on a progression:
- Self-centered to…
- Love and role-centered to…
- Self-authoring and to&hellip that is value-centered
- Principle-centered
Providing as an official person of legal age is certainly an current technique of thinking and variation. In becoming more self-conscious, all of us reach life's battles much more ways that are capable of this inside-out.

A prudent mentioning gives you that your chosen most sensible thing we'll yield kids happens to be root and means. But we have to know the dimensions and each of our roots that are own.

This is an introductory-level course in supervised learning, with a focus on regression and classification methods. The syllabus includes: linear and polynomial regression, logistic regression and linear discriminant analysis; cross-validation and the bootstrap, model selection and regularization methods (ridge and lasso); nonlinear models, splines and generalized additive models; tree-based methods, random forests and boosting; support-vector machines. Some unsupervised learning methods are discussed: principal components and clustering (k-means and hierarchical).
This is not a math-heavy class, so we try and describe the methods without heavy reliance on formulas and complex mathematics. We focus on what we consider to be the important elements of modern data analysis. Computing is done in R. There are lectures devoted to R, giving tutorials from the ground up, and progressing with more detailed sessions that implement the techniques in each chapter.
The lectures cover all the material in An Introduction to Statistical Learning, with Applications in R by James, Witten, Hastie and Tibshirani (Springer, 2013). The pdf for this book is available for free on the book website.

First of all: huge kudos to Hastie and Tibshirani for their contributions to the field, and making their seminal books freely available. None of this is directed personally at them - it's difficult to design a good MOOC. Problems with this one:
- it's basically just a series of lectures presenting the ideas from the book
- without prior familiarity, or lengthy reading, these probably aren't adequate for groking the concepts
- the 'assessment' is less than cursory (a few sudden-death MCQs per week)
- the questions and content for the week are sometimes... loose.
- there's no real opportunity to practice concepts in a concrete way with feedback.
I'll certainly watch the lectures. But these have made their way to youtube, and the 'MOOC parts' weren't worth the signup on Stanford OpenEdu. :(
this review helpful
Overall, this is a course I'd recommend for anyone who has the time to go back and forth between topics a lot, or for anyone who already has a background in some of the subjects at least at a Bachelor level.
I was really excited about this course and wanted to like it but had to be honest in this review. But do read the book - the writers have done a great job of it.

At the end of February we headed to the Sound Society HiFi show in Aarhus, Denmark. This local show is organised by the Danish distributor Bülow Steensen A/S at the Royal Hotel Aarhus and is aimed directly at consumers. Although the show is of moderate size, a lot of people were circling around this year. Some rooms were consistently full and we had to revisit them a few times to get a good look at everything. Most of the exhibitors were local dealers but we also met representatives from a few Danish manufacturers.
For the HiFi interested in western Denmark, this show is definitely worth visiting. The show is probably too small to attract visitors from the rest of the country in large numbers. Having said that, there are a few dealers and distributors, like Lydbutikken, that make the trip across the country year after year in order to meet their customers. In any case, many good things can be said about local shows and dealers that make an effort to inspire the local audience.
Audiophile.dk and Gryphon Audio
Gryphon was presented by the Danish dealer, audiophile.dk. Rune Skov, the Global Sales Director for Gryphon, was also there and we had a very pleasant chat with him. He told us a bit about their new system and explained their values and ways of working.
On display were the new Ethos CD/DAC and the Essence pre and power amplifiers driving a set of JBL K2 S9900 speakers. Gryphon describes the Ethos as an integrated transport/DAC and it is the first Gryphon product ever to feature a milled aluminium top. Rune told us that they source the top itself from the aluminum experts at Bang & Olufsen in order to ensure top quality. Thus, like all Gryphon products, Ethos is designed and manufactured in Denmark. This does not come cheap and the presented system costs more than 100.000€ excluding the speakers.
The AV-Connection room presented a set of Klipsch RF-7 III floorstanding speakers. They were driven by the Yamaha M-5000 amplifier and C-5000 preamplifier. The sound produced by the speakers was certainly pleasant and quite dynamic, but in order to get a flat frequency response from them you definitely need a larger room.
Scala Hifi and System Audio
As customary, System Audio were also exhibiting. Together with Scala HiFi, a local dealer, they showcased their digital wireless speakers. Visitors had a chance to enjoy a demonstration scheduled every hour. Ole and Ole from System Audio and Scala HiFi used the allocated time to demonstrate a direct comparison between the passive System Audio Legend 40 speakers driven by the Edge high-end pre and power amplifiers from Cambridge Audio and the active wireless System Audio Legend Silverback 40 speakers. This comparison is interesting because everything except for the amplification and crossover is 100% identical between the two speakers. Thus, the added clarity and punch exhibited by the Silverback version can only be ascribed to the active amplification modules (vs. the passive crossover, cables etc. used with the passive version).
Bang & Olufsen
Bang & Olufsen is a company we do not see very often at Hifi shows. We saw them at Axpona in 2017 and here they were again in Aarhus. The Beolab 90 remains the top of the line speaker from Bang & Olufsen, but the high-end range now includes the smaller sibling Beolab 50. A separate room was dedicated to the demonstration of Beolab 90, whereas the Beolab 50 was demonstrated in more of a home cinema setting and shared a room with Beolab 18 and several units from the more affordable range of integrated music systems.
Sitting in front of the impressive looking and sounding Beolab 90 I recall a casual conversation I had at Axpona back in 2017. The conversation took place in the elevator after my visit to the Bang & Olufsen room. I mentioned this experience when I was asked by another gentleman in the elevator what impressed me on this floor. He concurred that Beolab 90 sounded amazing and asked me "Do you know what the source was?" Before I had a chance to answer he did so himself "It was a TV!".
The versatility of Bang & Olufsen's active speakers are indeed great. You can connect digital or analog sources of your liking or you can connect it to, for example, the new Beovision Harmony TV that was also on display to create a very well integrated system. Add another two small speakers for surround channels and you have a 5.1-ish surround system. Ish, because it does not really make sense to add a subwoofer. The TV's advanced Sound Engine will route the low frequencies to the most capable speakers in your setup. If you have Beolab 90, 50, or 5 they will be far more capable than most subs available for home use.
Bang & Olufsens Tonmeister Geoff Martin and his team did an impressive job with the latest generations of Bang & Olufsen products and if you are into dsp, audio theory and similar good stuff on an expert level I recommend you follow his blog available on tonmeister.ca/wordpress
Lydspecialisten, Audiovector, and Primare
Lydspecialisten, another local shop, demonstrated speakers from Audiovector, electronics from Primare, and turntables from AVID.
The main setup comprised the new Audiovector R 3 speakers together with a Primare Pre35, A35.2, and R35 pre/power/phono amplifier combination and an AVID Volvere turntable. The resulting sound was alive and quite musical and we enjoyed this demo a lot.
In another room Lydspecialisten had products from Ansuz Acoustics, Børresen Acoustics, and Aavik Acoustics on display. We did not hear this setup play, but we did marvel at the price that was in the 650.000€ to 700.000€ range. Impressive or not, definitely not for everyone's pocket!
Buchardt Audio used this show to premiere their advanced active wireless speaker A500 for the first time. Actually, they call the speaker a "flexible platform" that allows the user to use it for home theatre, a normal HiFi setup or for professional purposes. In order to reach the full potential, it is advised to pair the A500 with the Burchardt hub. Using the Hub you can connect turntables, TVs, PCs or CD players using cables, but you can also stream vie Spotify Connect, Chromecast, and Airplay. Furthermore, the Hub provides access to Burchardt's room correction.
HiFi Klubben had a large presence at the show. They showcased several brands in three rooms, including Lyngdorf Audio, Hegel, Bowers & Wilkins, and Dali.
These brands all have a proven track record and always perform well. This time we particularly liked the Dali Rubicon 6 C floorstanding active speakers that seem to provide outstanding value for money.
Sallingboe Audio
The relatively young shop Sallingboe Audio went all-in and presented an extremely high-end system comprising Fink Team speakers, ALLNIC Audio electronics, and a vintage DENON turntable.
The sound was very musical (as it should be at a recommended retail price approaching 75.000€) and we enjoyed it a lot. The Fink Team Borg is clearly an outstanding loudspeaker, and the ALLNIC Audio amplifiers extremely capable, but for us the ultra-rare ultra-highend DENON DP-100 turntable was the star of the room. It is amazing what a 40 year old turntable can do - if it is the right turntable..
The Copenhagen based shop lydbutikken also made their very best effort. They showcased a system comprising speakers from Harbeth, electronics from MANLEY and Parasound, and a turntable from Fletcher Audio.
The setup was very musical and probably one of the best sounding at the show. As always the Harbeth Monitor 40.2 proved itself to be a very natural sounding speaker. Natural sounding can also be said for the Fletcher Audio Omega Point 5 turntable and the mounted high-end Grado Reference cartridge. Phono preamplification was handled by the MANLEY Steelhead and line-level preamplification by the MANLEY Neoclassic 300B - both very transparent. Power amplification was handled by a Parasound Halo JC5 powerhouse. Very desirable - now if we only had 75.000€ lying around somewhere..
The Danish distributor medlyd demonstrated a setup comprising speakers from Scottish Fyne Audio and electronics as well as a turntable from Rega.
This was another quite musical system. The Fyne F502 speakers sounded natural and dynamic. The Rega electronics supported them well and the Rega P10 turntable was clearly extremely competent. The P10 seems to be popular too, as it was seen at several demos around the show.
Honorable Mentions
At the show, visitors could experience many other HiFi and high-end brands, talk to the local dealers and enjoy demo rooms. In the following we will give you a quick run-down, supported by images, of some of the ones that we did not manage to cover in detail:
Scandinavian Audio Systems showcased several manufacturers, including Nordost Cables and ELAC.
Harman Luxury Audio showcased Revel's Beryllium floorstanding speakers that sounded superb. They were powered by the Mark Levinson 5000 series.
Technics was also present at the show with several products. Visitors had a chance to see the Technics SL-1000R and SL -1200G turntables, as well as the SB-G900 speakers and the new SL-G700 CD player. No surprise, the sound system performed very well.
Dynaudio was there with the Evoke family of speakers that we already had a chance to listen to earlier this year. They also had a demo room where the Confidence series was showcased.
Ortofon showcased their phono cartridges, including the MC Anna Diamond that uses a diamond cantilever that, when combined with the Replicant 100 diamond tip, offers extreme speed and transparency.
An award-winning speaker, Harman Kardon 500 from the Harman Citation family was also presented at the show.
The Danish vinyl shop Renvinyl.dk showcased the Nessie vinylmaster cleaner.

In 2015, the owners of Yiasou, a Greek joint on the popular Emmons Avenue strip in Sheepshead Bay, were looking to open a second restaurant. In any town, that's tough proposition. No one can be two places at once, and conventional wisdom says that both locations run the risk of suffering in the execution. For the Katsichtis family, though, the solution turned out to be simple: open up shop next door.
After Superstorm Sandy, the former site of Mambo Sushi became available, and a vision formed for Next Door, a pared down Italian restaurant and pizzeria. Yiasou, previously featured in this magazine ("On the Waterfront," July August 2019 issue), is a classic white tablecloth operation serving fresh seafood, wine, and upscale Greek cuisine edit staff favorites including atherina (sand smelt), koutsomoura (red mullet) and sfirida (white grouper). Owners Michael and George Katsichtis knew that any new restaurant would need a different look to avoid redundancy.
"We were looking to bring more of a modern NYC vibe to Next Door, which we did with the décor and design," Michael said. "It has a younger feel, which people are happy about. We hear a lot of positives."
Even from the street, those differences are clear: Next Door's exposed brick, open and sleek floor plan, and rustic interior are notably distinct from the adjacent eatery. Another nod to the younger generation: there are outlets aplenty. It's a look apace with any modern restaurant in the borough. To match that, the Katsichtis brothers needed a light, versatile menu, and knew they also wanted to honor the rich legacy of Italian fare in the area.
"I dine pretty frequently around the city," George said. "I just put most of my favorite dishes that were needed in the neighborhood. There's a lot of Turkish and Russian food here; I just wanted to give it a little kick."
Both brothers wanted to do a lighter take on pizza, eventually settling on 10 inch thin crust varieties that could be ordered as entrees or appetizers. Next Door also serves up classics like eggplant Parmesan, calamari fritti, and lobster ravioli. Unlike the Emmons Avenue Italian joints of yesteryear, here you'll find plenty of salads: the red beet and goat cheese selection is a particular fan favorite. Diners will also find burgers, including the ever popular salmon burger. It's an unorthodox menu that's deliberately flexible, perfect for families, dinner dates, and light lunches. There's even a second level that can be reserved for private events.
"You don't want to just be known for one thing," Michael said. "It allows people to come back more often. You start to understand all ages of clientele and how you can make the experience better."
The new restaurant has required some work. Michael, whose specialty is the kitchen, has done a deep dive into the world of pizza in pursuit of the right thin crust product. Next Door's wood and gas combo oven, visible from the dining room, took some mastering. And getting the right dough texture and consistency proved a trial and error filled experience.
"It's interesting how much goes into making it and the science behind it," Michael said. "Even though pizza has been around forever, it's always updating. There are so many different styles."
Between Yiasou and Next Door, the Katsichtis family is able to serve a wide swathe of city denizens and tourists, a smart business decision in a fast changing hood. And the two establishments are integrated as much as possible (including being joined by an open space), and it's not uncommon to see Michael or George running from one to the other. The standard of service is always the same, however, and behind the scenes, too, there is synthesis.
"We made it easier on ourselves by having one kitchen," said Michael. "Our kitchen team is experienced enough that I know it can handle it."
The links between Italian and Greek cuisine are an advantage when running such a dual kitchen. A wealth of family experience helps, too. Michael and George's parents, Anna and Peter Katsichtis, have been in the restaurant business for over 50 years. The brothers are able to divide responsibility between themselves, making sure that an owner is always on hand an airtight management structure in an industry that punishes mistakes. In essence, though the entire family is involved, Next Door is very much a project of the sons.
Asked about plans to tweak either restaurant's approach or menu, the brothers expressed contentment with the current synergy Yiasou's classic fare and Next Door's sleek look and creative menu.
"I don't think we're going to change anything," George said. "It works. We all have the same goals, my mom, my dad and my brother."

As an old retriever guy and now a hunter who runs multiple dogs I train the dogs to heel on either side. I was told by an expert field trial friend that the dogs don't care, he was right.
It gives you/me advantages in the UT test, I can cut the vision off from things that I don't want her to see and vice versa, make sure she sees things (decoys) that she should see. There are advantages in the heeling test and the mark in the U.T. testing.
When I am running more than one dog it makes it easy to keep the dogs close to me, and one on each side is way better than 2 on the left.
I'm curious to know if other v-dog trainers do this, or is it only very old retriever guys?

Meet The Team
At Palette Pro Painting & Renovation, we believe that a dedicated staff makes a true difference in over all quality when it comes to customer service and workmanship.
Rodrigo VasconcellosPresident
Rodrigo graduated from St. John's University with a B.S. in Communications. Starting in his early teens, Rodrigo worked on weekends and during summer breaks painting and renovating homes. From painting victorian style homes in Brooklyn to replacing siding on colonial homes in Westchester County; Rodrigo gained his knowledge by working with his father, a master carpenter with well over twenty years of experience. While attending St. John's University, Rodrigo used his experience and entrepreneurial attitude to build his own clientele. Little did he know that his dedication in building excellent client relationships and providing quality results would be the start of Palette Pro. Soon after graduating, Rodrigo started Palette Pro Painting & Renovation with the goal of providing a higher level of quality and customer service that is scarce in this industry.
Rodrigo credits his success to the basic principles of honesty, integrity, and excellence in customer service. He greatly values family ties and trust, which lead him to bring on board his brother-in-law, Rafael Ventura. Rafael was a key player and now holds the title of VP at Palette Pro. Rodrigo's wife, Priscilla Vasconcellos, has also lent her talents and skills to the advancement of Palette Pro since the start with her expertise in business administration.
Rodrigo is a dedicated husband and father. He is passionate about traveling and loves to experience new places and cultures. Additionally, he is an avid musician and plays piano at his local church regularly. He also enjoys playing soccer and mountain biking.
Rafael VenturaVice President
Rafael graduated from Full Sail University with a Bachelor of Science. He has been tinkering with home renovations since his teenage years as he worked summer vacations at his father's home improvement company. When he began working at Palette Pro, Rafael was the first Project Manager and Estimator to join the team. In that role he greatly contributed to the growth and success of the company by restructuring the sales and marketing process. Therefore, it came at no surprise when brother-in-law, Rodrigo asked him to become VP of Palette Pro Painting & Renovation. During his tenure with the company, Rafael has come to excel in customer service, project management and business management. Outside of his dedication to Palette Pro, Rafael is a soccer fanatic, travel enthusiast, GRAMMY Award-winning Sound Restoration participant and loving husband.
