Summary for Week – Calculated Risk
The Industrial Production release was a reporting challenge this week. Expectations were for production to increase 0.1% in January, but the Federal Reserve reported a 0.1% decrease. At first glance, this appears to be disappointing, however production for November and December were revised up significantly, and total production in January was actually above expectations.

Clashes Erupt Between Greek Police and Migrants in Lesvos Camp (video)
Last Update: 18:24
A fire has broken out at a large migrant camp in the Greek island of Lesvos following a protest at the site.
The unrest began when a group of migrants launched a protest outside the so-called pre-departure center which operates within the Moria camp in a bid to draw attention to the substandard conditions in which migrants awaiting deportation to Turkey are being held.
Police attempted to guard the center but were pelted by stones and fired back with tear gas.
According to the Athens-Macedonia News Agency, two large tents and two prefabricated buildings have been burned while migrants are said to be blocking the fire service from entering the premises.
Migrants lobbed stones at members of the local fire brigade and at a fire engine, local reports said.
There were no immediate reports of any injuries.
More than 14,000 migrants remain stranded on Lesvos and other Greek islands near Turkey. They are not allowed to travel to the Greek mainland under the terms of an agreement between the European Union and Turkey reached last year.

"Taking the first vulnerable steps into our own experience, no matter how small or hidden at the beginning, opens us to a more generous life" — David Whyte
When we sit together, we begin with whatever you would like to share. If you don't know what to say, we can simply begin with that.
Maybe you are seeking clarity around a specific problem. Maybe you are suffering a bereavement, or a separation. Maybe you're hoping for a space in which you can simply cry, or rage, without being judged. It is all welcome.
I help you to find meaning. I think with you about how your past might be affecting your present. I also encourage you to explore what is happening in your body when you are experiencing emotion, as the body is a remarkable access point into feelings.
My hope is that through working with me you will become more aware of what obscures your joy and what gets you closer to your truth. With this in mind, we might examine your fears and shame, untangle beliefs that no longer serve you, and build on your muscle for self-compassion.
What is created through therapy is a relationship. I therefore use the relationship that we build together as a doorway into understanding other relationships in your life.
I am deeply respectful of difference. I endeavour to investigate my biases and I welcome people of any gender identity, sexuality, background, or relationship style.
I have worked with a wide range of emotional and psychological difficulties including anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, sexuality issues, social anxiety, cultural issues and race, trauma, relationship issues, guilt and shame, grief and bereavement, loneliness, and more.
I trained at The Minster Centre and hold an Advanced Diploma in Integrative Psychotherapy & Counselling. I am currently completing an MA, also at The Minster Centre, and I am a Registered Member of the British Association of Counselling & Psychotherapy.
You are welcome to get in touch by phone or email if you would like to arrange a session, or if you have any questions.

Schaly Stadium renovations have MC baseball program excited
So is Isaac Huffman.
The two Marietta College baseball players will have to be patient, though, as Don Schaly Stadium is currently undergoing an extensive upgrade, thanks to The Spartan Foundation and Hap and Meg Esbenshade, and generous gifts from MC alumni and friends.
"I'm excited about the new new turf and other renovations that are happening at Don Schaly Stadium, and I know a bunch of the guys on the team are excited about it, too," said the 21-year-old Danford, a Pioneer utility player.
Danford played his prep ball at Marietta High.
"I think that it's something that will bring positivity to the college as well as the rest of the community," he added. "I can't wait to test it out."
Huffman, who played his high school ball at Waterford, seconded that.
"I think it's great for the program," said the 20-year-old MC utility player. "It will help us out in many ways, and we are excited to have it."
Renovations started about two weeks ago. About 15,000 cubic yards of dirt was brought in to raise portions of the field as much as three feet, to minimize the risk of flooding. Eventually, the installation of a Field/Turf DoublePlay system, which is also used by the Toronto Blue Jays, will cover the entire field.
"They (construction crew) pulled out the concrete," said Chris Stout, the Don Schaly Stadium supervisor. "Then, they took out 6 to 12 inches of topsoil. Now, they're in the leveling process and will be starting to bring in the fill and raise it up three or four feet."
Stout paused.
"It's pretty impressive watching them do that," he continued. "I think everyone here is excited about it. It's going to be something else. A lot of people have come out to get a peek of it and they're definitely impressed with what's going on."
Stout is also the pitching coach for the Brian Brewer-led Etta Express.
"Natural grass is always a favorite to play baseball on, but it usually means a wet spring," Stout said. "So, with the artificial turf, you're not going to miss hardly anything at all. It could pour all morning, but you're going to get in every game you need to play that day.
"Now we won't have to pull tarp or drain water off the field. The field's going to be a little higher than what it is now. The artificial turf will have sand and rubber pellets underneath it, and it will absorb the water so much better than soil or clay could."
Before all is said and done, Don Schaly Stadium will also have new, step-down dugouts, a pole-less backstop with net and padding, and a new 8-foot outfield fence with center field moved in 10 feet to 400 feet.
Also, the foul territory down the lines will be reduced, and the bullpens moved further down the lines to accommodate more spectators.
"You're not going to be able to beat it," Stout said. "There's no reason why we can't get the best players in the country to play here."

WHEN the Zimbabwe Heritage Trust (ZHT) hosted over 30 writers on August 18 2016 at Rainbow Towers in Harare, I assumed the workshop specifically meant to sensitise writers on the requirements of the new primary and secondary school curriculum and would turn out to be largely informational.
I was wrong.
It turned out to be one of those soul-searching sessions which most of us would like to go back to, repeatedly, in an attempt to grasp why, educated as we are, we are turning out to be a Nation of under-achievers.
It is undeniable that with over 92 percent literacy rate being achieved within 36 years of its existence, Zimbabwe deserves the bragging rights for hosting one of the most educated populations in Africa.
However, this success story is now being interrogated, ferociously, by the fact that not much has been done so far by the educated folks themselves to solve some of the persistent problems which afflict our Nation.
Here are some of the observations, both formal and informal, made during the said workshop and they are not flattering at all.
As educated folks, we have largely remained workers and not owners of business enterprises, buyers of other people's commercial products and not producers of them, consumers of other people's knowledge and not creators of it; we have remained importers and users of other people's technologies and not inventors of them.
The question is why?
We are a people who wait for other races to produce knowledge for us, other races who struggle day and night wrestling with the elements of nature, trying to understand them in order to master them and use them to their advantage while we enjoy our sleep.
We only wake up late in the day to find out which of those latest inventions by other races should we import and from where?
That is, if we can afford them.
Take for instance, our 'love affair' with the Mercedes Benz, that expensive toy which our pampered elites cannot do without.
We love it and worship it and can do anything to buy it, not because it represents a level of technical competence which we should strive to master and possibly surpass to our advantage, but because it gives us a social status above the rest.
Such is the brutal banality of our ambitions!
Just to illustrate our dilemma as a people: Is it not true that we continue to import needles in order to sew our clothes?
Is it not true we cannot even make appropriate dolls for our toddlers and have to import them, that we cannot make bicycles in our own country and that we have to import those made for other regions different from ours because we know no better how to adapt and adjust what we import to suit our needs?
Is it not true that at best we can only assemble cars and not design them and make them; that in fact it never occurs to us that we should produce and use that which is made here, however big or small?
Is it not true that even the capacity for us to imagine ourselves inventing bits and pieces of technology in response to our local needs here in this land of Munhumutapa dwindled to zero a long time ago?
And that the position remains the same 36 years after gaining our independence.
During that time, not even one invention to show the world we are a normal people. Normal in the sense that our ancestors were normal when they designed and built up the Great Zimbabwe.
The question remains: What Zimbabwean inventions, creations, designs, architecture, templates, among other things, have we come up with, something to demonstrate that our creative imagination is now working at full throttle, now that we are free?
When our ancestors were defeated by the British, both in 1893 and in 1896/7, at least the majority of the weapons they used then were designed and made by them.
They lost the wars of the British invasion, but at least, they had the presence of mind to arm themselves with weapons they could produce with their own hands.
And the fact that Britain had to send big army reinforcements together with more maxim guns on two separate occasions during those wars in order to defeat us speaks volumes about how effective those home-made weapons of our ancestors were.
After using Russian and Chinese weapons from 1966 right up to 1979 in order to defeat the same British, is there one good reason why we have not yet invented our own home-grown weapons, as a way of safeguarding our security forever?
While other nations are doing exactly that, our only hope is to import.
In an attempt to understand this creative drought which continues to afflict us as a people here is how one of the presenters at the workshop, Heritage Publishing House Executive Editor Mashingaidze Gomo, underlined the importance of language, the mother tongue, as the foundation of everything, as something that needs to be handled with utmost care, right from childbirth, if we are to produce a creative Nation that looks after its interests:
"The mother tongue is critical heritage that makes all else possible because it is specifically made to make sense of the universe in a self-serving manner already tested by predecessors.
It is the primary repository of communal experience and therefore, software that hands over survival perceptions that cannot be handed over in blood.
It is the handover of culture.
The mother tongue is an inherited point of view/worldview – it means language is not neutral."
The implications of this statement on educational aspects are too obvious to repeat.
Suffice to say that to impose the use of a foreign language like English on our toddlers is to alienate and displace them from society and from their heritage, from what should be their self-serving and inherited worldview.
The challenge we face here is how to dream big dreams in our languages, how to imagine and create what we need relying on the knowledge and values reposed in our languages, how to chart alternative and viable paths to our development in our own right and not necessarily for and in the interest of other races.
The point here is Zimbabwe has done well to expand our levels of literacy, but those levels are yet to generate real lasting value for the country.
And the reason is breathtakingly simple: Our education and therefore our forms of knowledge are made elsewhere, by others, who happen to be our former masters.
It is the kind of knowledge which we have not sweated for in an intimate and creative manner in order to produce it.
This is why we never regard such knowledge as ours; such knowledge remains associated with whites from elsewhere precisely because we cannot possess knowledge whose process of production we have not experienced or felt at all.
It is knowledge that we receive from others in a mechanical sort of way, borrowed or donated knowledge and not organic enough to unlock our original imagination.
We are taking long to realise that, according to Gomo: "Knowledge is power, knowledge is choice," and that if we let others produce that knowledge for us, they will produce the kind of knowledge that will benefit them through us.
Our biggest tragedy as a people is lack of a true self-knowledge about ourselves, about our past and about all those wonderful deeds and inventions which our ancestors bequeathed to us from Egypt of the black Pharaohs of north Africa right down to the Great Zimbabwe of southern Africa.
We remain unanchored and directionless, a lost people and this largely explains why Western countries are having a field day manipulating us and exploiting us for their own good at our expense.
Why should our creative genius remain idle?

'Anderson Cooper 360' host Anderson Cooper discusses U.S. politics, international politics, and why he walked out of 'Star Wars' after just 45 minutes.
I walked out of a movie once. It was back in 1997 when I went to see Escape From L.A. which was basically part 2 of Escape From New York. I was just so damn bored. It was not nearly as good as the first movie and I just walked out, LOLReply
It's rumored he is on cia payroll… Anyone heard of it?Reply
I hated The Last Jedi. Good God, this movie has so many plotholes I'm surprised that Rian Johnson's mind hasn't been shot up with a machine gun yet! Johnson, who wrote this piece of garbage AND directed it, can't create a movie to save his life! The Rose/Finn plotline can be completely removed and adds NOTHING to the movie but filler and making the use of CGI and "cool" looking aliens. Rose herself a new character, is so unlikable that she at times makes Jar Jar look somewhat decent! At the end of the movie, Finn decides to sacrifice himself to save the others when Rose's stupid ass comes outta nowhere and crashes into him, says something to the extent of "You're such a hero, Finn. I love you," kisses him suddenly and passes the fuck out. Okay, we all know that Johnson is trying to FORCE a romance between her and Finn even though everyone knows and wants Finn and Rey to end up together because the attraction and passion was strong in 7 that JJ Abrams directed. But I'm guessing Disney is afraid of some backlash of a black man and white woman dating? I don't know, but I get that impression. There's a safecracker whom they meet and some lady named Holdo who is Leia's successor after she is injured (I'll get to that in a minute) who dies without having much or any character development that makes these new characters like Holdo, Rose, etc so unmemorable or unlikable and are just seemed to be there for filler, or just carry one plotline of the movie to point A to point B while it switches to the other plotline back and forth, back and forth. So Leia. (sighs) Leia, Leia, this was the final film appearance of Carrie Fisher who died in December 2016 of a heart attack at age 60 and this was one of the main reasons I wanted to see this. I figured they will kill her off in a heroic way that gives justice to her and Leia but what we got was something completely the opposite and cringy as all living fuck! So Kylo Ren, who is Leia's son and who killed Han, his father in 7 is attacking her ship at one point in the movie, he hesitates on firing on the bridge and doesn't but another ship does and blows everybody up. Now starts, are you ready? Leia is floating in space, not breathing, obviously very much dead, until all of a sudden, her fingers start moving and she starts to fly off towards the main Resistance ship in a stance/trance that makes her fucking MARY POPPINS/SUPERMAN LEIA! She actually flies to the ship and presses the airlock before fainting, what the fuck? Silence, absolute silence and some laughter too. Another thing that TLJ doesn't need is humor every 2 minutes in every scene, okay? Star Wars is NOT to be a fancier version or sequel to Spaceballs! There were a little bit of humor here and there in The Force Awakens and it was great to see the original characters back and having fun with us then as well. Not here, it's not needed. And now to Luke Skywalker, the famous Jedi master who defeated his evil father Darth Vader and brought peace to the galaxy is now is a hermit on an isolated ocean mountain island who acts anything but the Luke Skywalker we've known or had known up to this movie. Luke, who decided to open his own Jedi school to teach others to become Jedis themselves is betrayed by Ben Solo aka Kylo Ren some years ago, with his school destroyed and the threat of another evil leader wanting to takeover the galaxy, Luke goes into hiding and decides to let the galaxy fight for itself. I immediately knew that we were in trouble when as soon as we get back to Luke holding the blue lightsaber that Rey just gave him, he just callously tosses it over his shoulder like it's nothing and walks off. The next thing that disturbed me was when Luke goes up to one of these creatures that live on the island with him and actually right there milks its nipples and drinks the disgusting blue milk, at this point I have no idea what is going on. It turns out as the movie goes on that Luke is a broken man, basically an old, cowardly somewhat drunk impression of a hermit who has lost faith in the Force and the ways of the Jedi. Luke is no longer the happy go lucky guy we came to know and love. He is very hesitant and gives Rey little to no training in the movie except for 2 lessons in 2 days and just like that, (snaps fingers) Rey is a Jedi master! Are you fucking kidding me?! Might as well just start printing out cards with your name saying "I'm a Jedi" and finally everybody is! In the past films, the impression was given that becoming and being called a Jedi was a badge of pride, honor, and the result of hard training and years of hard work. With MARY SUE here, I mean Rey, that impression is immediately trampled on by Rian Johnson as she is now a better Jedi than Luke in just 2 fucking days! Then there are the Porgs… THE PORGS! Ugh, they are basically space penguins with bigger eyes that are only used as comic relief and to me, annoying me when Rose wasn't around. Some people say that the Porgs are like the Ewoks from TROTJ, but at least the fucking Ewoks DID SOMETHING! These were obviously just created to sell toys to kids. A fucking marketing gimmick. The scene where Chewbacca, (Who serves little to no purpose in this movie) is about to eat one of them and the rest just come out of the woodwork and start giving them the most pathetic, sad eyes I've ever seen in a movie which was supposed to make people go "Awwwwww" and some did, but to me it was just another facepalm annoying moments. Onto the Force connection between Rey and Kylo. During several points in the movie, they both telepathically communicate while each other are in different parts of the galaxy and it just comes completely out of left field and is never explained. It coulda been skipped. Oh and remember when JJ introduced to the Knights of Ren? Kylo's followers? Yeah, not one word here. Captain Phasma, the silver plated stormtrooper lady who has a beef with Finn the deserter, yeah only has about 2 minutes of screen time before falling into a fiery abyss, presumably dead. Remember when they said she'd have more screen time than in 7? A lie. Phasma just becomes another throwaway character. Snoke, who is Kylo's master lured Rey to him through Kylo because he knew that Kylo was weak, but doesn't sense that Kylo turns 2 lightsabers towards him and slices Snoke in half while monologuing/laughing? Snoke is supposed to be all knowing and all powerful but can't sense 2 moving lightsabers on the sides of him? Come on now! It looks like Kylo and Rey will join forces and he'll come back to the light side but considering another movie needs to be made after this, that doesn't happen and Kylo becomes the new leader of the First Order, not Snoke. Eventually Kylo and his crew find the remiances of the Resistance at their first abandoned base on some caveside planet and plans to go in and bomb the place. But before that could happens, mister Lukey boy emerges from the shadows and briefly chats with Leia, who recovers and Holdo dies after crashing the main ship into blah, blah, not important. The only good moment in my opinion was seeing Luke and Leia together for one last time on screen. Anyway, Luke goes out to face Kylo alone. It turns out Luke, the ultimate badass Jedi master is not even there! He's telepathically holograming himself there while using the Force back on hermit planet. I knew something was off when Luke's beard was a solid color again, he was wearing better robes like he had when he had his school and that with the artirlly barrage Kylo orders on him, there is nothing under his feet. By the time Kylo discovers that Luke is not there, the others have escaped through the other side of the abandoned base and get away and Finn and Rey meet again! And then Luke just dies in the most boring way possible, just during sunset and falls over and disappears from lack of energy/sleep, bravo Rian, brav fucking o! But then there's the scene where Rey and Poe meet for the first time and I can just see Johnson trying to start a romance with them, no goddammit, no! You already killed Star Wars with this movie! Oh and you know all those fan theories that Rey is Luke's daughter or Leia's or Obi Wan's granddaughter or something? It turns out that she's …… wait for it, NOTHING! Rey is not related to anybody important! Her parents were just junkies who sold her into slavery when she was a toddler! This completely makes me care about what happens to Rey in 9, I just don't care about her now. Seems that some of the things that JJ helped build/set up in 7 were completely ignored or just forgotten/crapped on altogether by Johnson in 8 and it's kinda depressing! I have no idea how JJ is gonna fix SW's for 9 and then have it go down again with Rian… I just hope that Rian takes some writing classes because that was the biggest drawback for me. At the end, all are alive of the "heroes except Luke and of course they are gonna kill Leia in 9 probably. After seeing this I must say it makes The Force Awakens look like a masterpiece! Rian Johnson and Kathleen Kennedy need to go, big time! They have obviously shit on the good Star Wars name! All this movie showed that they can push out a movie full of plotholes and lacking character development, slap "STAR WARS" on it and it will make them richer and richer by the second! I mean, this seems like it wasn't made with love or care or with fan knowledge or anything. Kennedy and Johnson have turned Star Wars into just a cash cow series and of course they aren't gonna listen to people like us because the next movie will make them money regardless and it sucks major ass. Anyway, I'd give The Last Jedi a 0 if I could! It just makes me feel left empty, confused, and angry. I WON'T be seeing this again!Reply
From the Colberts Nation, we welcome you back 🙂Reply
I love CNN, but their New Years Eve countdown was a bit weak this year.Reply
I wish I'd walked out of Last JediReply
I thoroughly enjoyed Rian Johnson's The Last Jedi. I walked out of a movie only once in memory, that was Ridley Scott's The Counselor. Maybe I'll watch it again sometime.Reply
I wish to fuck that Mr. Colbert would stop fucking interrupting his guests!!! He does it to every fucking one of them such that I'm beginning to wonder if he has a superiority complex; thinking that he's the only one who matters, that it doesn't matter what the guests say, it's _his_ show, so he can talk over anyone he wants! I certainly hope not, because I quite like Mr. Colbert and his insightful brand of comedy. I love his monologues and I feel that he's a worthy successor to the mightily awesome David Letterman. I just wish to fuck that he'd stop talking over his fucking guests!Reply
NIW that he points that out I notice it in this french dude I work with hahahaReply
Rose should've diedReply
You know what? When I can watch the most respected news man in the country and the most respected late night host in the country discuss a contact high we are in an objectively better world than yesterday.Reply
"When we said we wanted you to make 'The Last Jedi'.. we didn't mean kill the franchise, Rian."Reply
I'm so sick of this Cooper…Reply
He's super hotReply
He seems pretty chill when he's not doing the newsReply
'Mbuh' is the French 'Meh', I guess.Reply
Im completely in love with you anderson cooperReply
This movie is made for children, the test audiences were 10 year olds.
This explains all the plotholes, the kids wouldnt notice or care.
This explains all the cutesy creatures, max xmas profit in merch. This explains the childish jokes.
THIS EXPLAINS CANTO BIGHT: The sequence is there to introduce the wish fulfillment audience analogues,
the slave kids. The kid with unexplained force powers in particular, placed at the very end,
would make the kid audience jump with ecstasy. Disney., making your fav Star Wars into Frozen.
Great conversation!Reply

Awesome stuff, Rachel! I really love the composition on #1 – the lines are so pretty! And yes, she's gorgeous!
Kris Fulk,
Houston Boudoir Photographer
In May, Matt and I traveled up to Nacogdoches to photograph Molly's bridals! I really like doing bridals but sometimes they are hard because I can't share the images until after the wedding! Well, Molly and Chris' big day was June 19th (I'm working on editing them and will have a blog post about it soon!) and now I can share these!
Molly, it was such a joy being able to hang out with you while battling the wind all day!
We started out on the track at Stephen F. Austin State University because Chris has run track for SFA all through college. Woo! Go SFA!
And they met at First Baptist…
Isn't she gorgeous?!?
Just a quick note, I will be out this week for a youth conference my church puts on called Doin' the Stuff! This will be my 9th year at it and I'm a room leader for some awesome girls and we're going to go ointo our community to help impact people's lives. It's such a wonderful opportunity and I am always inspired by seeing the youth getting so into helping others. I think the leaders may get just as much or more out of the experience than the youth! The only problem is that I will have no time to edit photos so everything is put on hold for a few days!
With Love,
Awesome stuff, Rachel! I really love the composition on #1 – the lines are so pretty! And yes, she's gorgeous!

nice, love this shots

TiECON PUNE 2019 gets overwhelming response
Pune (Maharashtra) [India], Apr 15 (ANI): With insightful keynotes and deep dive workshops, the two day TiECON 2019 organised in Pune by not for profit making organisation - The Indus Entrepreneurs gave an enriching experience to more than 500 startup entrepreneurs to take them into the second wave.
More than 50 experts deliberated and interacted with the audience to address a host of issues facing young entrepreneurs. This was the seventh edition of TiECON Pune.
A special report prepared in partnership with KPMG on entrepreneurship in Pune was published.
The Jugalbandi session between startups and grown ups moderated by TiECON 2019 chairperson Vineet Patni saw stalwarts and Corporate Advisor R. Gopalakrishnan and Angel Investor and mentor R. Narayanan share some interesting insights on startups and grown ups.
R. Narayanan who has been deeply involved in startups said that while the success rate in startups is still low and the startup industry has to yet take off we should not be judgmental, just like a baby tries to walk and falls down to get up again and in the process learns to walk, similarly we should not stress startups on what not to do , instead we should give them a free hand.
R. Gopalakrishnan said that a startup is like a new baby born and one has to nurture it. The good thing is that they are young and have no boundaries, no preconceived notions and fear and the only thing they see is success and there is a valuable learning process in a freewheeling environment.
Nasscom Chairman and Group CEO WNS Global Services Keshav Murugesh said that an idea is just the beginning that by itself is not enough, the key to success lies in how you implement them and the timing which is very crucial.
Talking about ideas Paani Foundation Satyajeet Bhatkal CEO Paani Foundation said that during the Satyameya Jayate series they came across a startling fact that there was no problem in India which had not been solved but the solution was restricted to a specific area or village and had not converted into a mass movement.
So "we have the know how but no scale and I think communication is the missing link between these two. We came up with the idea of Water Cup which is a competition and is fun, modern and participative. It adds to the excitement of participating and also gives an opportunity of sharing knowledge. We concentrated on one issue and that is of water and in the state of Maharashtra which already was a laboratory of techniques to fight endemic droughts, but this was confined to only a few talukas. There is a need to convert this into a mass movement to transform the face of the entire landscape."Kiran Rao said that "I am a city girl and my idea of village came from paintings, film shoots and I didn't really get a chance to know more about it. Going to villages changed my perspective about my own life. At a deeper level, something changed and I felt more connected with people and in a sense experienced a bright new world and felt connected to the vast nature.
"It was an incredibly transformative and fulfilling experience for me. It has been a fun thing to do too. It connected me to nature and it made me realize how far we have gone to destroy it. This gave me a chance to step up to help conserve our nature. The Jalmitra initiative which we have started is to bridge the gap between the villages and the city. This is bringing about a transformation where an entire community is working towards a common goal,"Rao said.
Ganesh Natrajan talked about the importance of digital transformation and its' ability to impact businesses and change our perception and ambitions.
"TiECON 2019 provided a great platform for deep learning on several domains, a departure from most such conferences," said Ravi Nigam, Charter Member TiE Pune.
"TiECON Pune 2019 provided wholesome values with Deep Dives in Masterclasses and broader perspectives with plenary sessions and investor pitches. The Nurture Pavilion showcased work by TiE Pune in mentorship" commented Kiran Deshpande - President TiE Pune.
Charter member Vivek Gupta said that "based on the feedback we've received so far, we believe we've once again reset the bar this year by making TiECon a two full day event, and by focusing one day on Master classes on curated and relevant topics for entrepreneurs, and another day of powerful keynotes and panel discussions."Vineet Patni , Chairperson TiECON 2019 said the unique two day event clearly made waves; in learning, Networking, and experiencing some of the best speakers.
This immensely successful, well attended TiECON 2019 has set high standards for the future!(Disclaimer: The above press release comes to you under an arrangement with Empowered Solutions - Pune, ANI takes no editorial responsibility for the same ) (ANI)

5 Reasons To Remodel Your Deck
5 Stellar Reasons to Remodel Your Deck this Spring
Spring is the perfect time to turn something old into something new. While your spring cleaning list may be complete, you may be missing one important aspect of spring that will make or break your summer outdoor festivities: your deck. You may want to consider a deck remodel to ensure that your outdoor fun is enhanced, not interrupted. Here are five stellar reasons that you should consider a deck remodel this spring.
Adding New Features
What better way to increase the time you spend on your deck than to add additional features. You could add great features such as a fire pit, an amazing outdoor grill to cook on, built in seating, and even water features which add a relaxing feel to your outdoor space. It is unbelievably easy to update your deck to the point where you are not only the envy of the neighborhood, but also provide an amazing place for your family to spend time outdoors.
Expand the Square Footage of Your House
By completing a deck remodel this spring, you can expand the square footage of your home and dramatically increasing its value. Not only does it improve your home's value, but it also improves how you live in and around your home. If you are one of the many people who feel like they need more space in their home, adding or expanding your deck can make your home feel less cramped. This is an amazing way to enhance your home without costing a fortune. It is also a great way of drawing yourself outside to enjoy your outdoor living space.
Creating a Better Place to Entertain Guests
If you like to entertain guests and you like to barbecue, a deck remodel and expansion is a great place to start. A deck is a great location to casually or formally entertain guests outside of your home. You will have a lot more space for enjoying time with your friends and family. Add a few great grill recipes and you will become the talk of the neighborhood in no time!
Providing a Safer Structure and Reduce Upkeep
A deck remodel is a great way to ensure that the structure is completely safe. Every couple of years, there are advances in decking materials. With the materials that are currently on the market, you are easily able to create a deck that requires little to no maintenance. By switching from wood decking to composite decking you will cut down on maintenance. For example, you will no longer have to stain or seal your deck. Your deck will not only be more functional, it will also be more beautiful, more structurally sound, and a more secure railing and gate set up.
Give Yourself a Reason to be Outdoors
Let's face it; a deck remodel will make it more likely for you to spend time outside. Get out there! Don't miss out on Florida sunshine and necessary vitamin D. A simple deck remodel is a great way to lure you outside which will greatly improve your health.
Who knew that a simple deck remodel could bring so many great benefits, and just think, we have barely scratched the surface. If you are considering a deck remodel call your local professional remodeling company today.

Hard Pack -- Loose -- Loose over Hard -- Medium
The Rekon is an aggressive trail tire inspired by the Ikon
The number of threads that cross through one square inch of a single ply of the tire's casing.
Lower TPI gives better puncture, cut and abrasion resistance but is heavier.
Higher TPI conforms better to the terrain, offering a smoother, more comfortable ride while reducing the weight of the tire.Maxxis TPI ratings are the threads-per-inch of a single casing ply,as compared to some competitor TPI ratings.
Tubeless tires provide the rider with many benefits: the ability to run lower air pressures, which improves traction; lower rolling resistance when compared to a tube-type tire; and less chance of flatting since there is no tube.
Liquid sealants should only be used in the following types of tires:Tubeless Road, Tubular, and Tubeless Ready. The use of liquid sealants in any other Maxxis tire will void the warranty.
An extremely cut-resistant and abrasion-resistant material added to the sidewalls of select mountain tires.
This densely woven fabric is also lightweight and highly flexible, ensuring that the performance of the tire remains unaffected.
An intermediate compound configuration used in select mountain tires. 3C Maxx-Terra is softer and offers more traction
than 3C MaxxSpeed, yet provides better treadwear and less rolling resistance than MaxxGrip.3C MaxxGrip uses the softest rubber compounds to offer the ultimate in grip and slow rebound properties for unparalleled traction in downhill applications.

Conceptual artists are mystics relatively than rationalists. 13) A murals may be understood as a conductor from the artists' thoughts to the viewers. Start nigh creating a slant of key phrases coordinated to your online business. Begin by making a guide of keywords coordinated to what you are promoting. Conceptual Art's most seen effect is the widespread use of language, the written phrase in artwork or as artwork.
Conceptual artwork is art for which the concept (or concept) behind the work is extra important than the completed art object. The conceptual artwork motion took in on a regular basis objects, simple ideas, ready made sculptures, as a method of attacking both the construction of the artwork world, and society itself.
Begin by making a e-book of key phrases associated to your enterprise. As a way to emphasize this, many Conceptual artists diminished the material presence of the work to an absolute minimal – an inclination that some have referred to as the "dematerialization" of artwork.
By increasing the definition of what artwork can be, Conceptual Art released art into the tradition at giant. One of many essential theorists of Conceptual artwork, Sol Lewitt said "Ideas alone might be artistic endeavors; they are in a series of growth that will ultimately discover some form.
Begin by making a slant of key phrases associated to your business. Born in Leeds, living and dealing in London, Hirst is the most distinguished representative of Britart group of emerging artists that shook the art world in the course of the late Nineteen Eighties and early Nineties.

Evolution in the ITAM/SAM industry
Feature creep in IT Asset and Software Asset Management
It's typical of a maturing market that competiting products offer many of the same capabilities. After all, how many ways are there of reporting your Adobe installations? To provide differentiation, products will also sprout unique capabilities, some of which may have been requested by particular customers and are of dubious value to everyone else. This creates a challenge to the designer, to maintain simplicity and ease of use while providing access to all the little details which are intended to provide that crucial differentiation. All this investment in more and more finesse also creates pressure to maintain prices, creating opportunity for new entrants to the market to come in with cheap and cheerful products, which may satisfy some customers until their needs evolve toward more sophisticated requirements.
Helping the customer while making the ITAM/SAM sale
Those looking for solutions to their needs are faced now with a massive range of choice. With limited time and resource to evaluate options they are likely to be lucky if they choose the solution which is actually closest to their needs. It's become more and more important for a solution provider like Vector to work closely with evaluators to really uncover their needs, establish where they are in the evolution of their ITAM/SAM programs, and help the customer determine what requirements are core today, and which are likely to become vital in twelve and twenty four months' time. This needs a solid foundation on a culture of honesty and customer service, which can be uncomfortable characteristics for a salesperson whose targets have just been increased for the second quarter in succession.
ITAM and SAM vendors and their partner relationships
The same need to truly support evaluators also puts pressure on channel partners to increase their product knowledge and be prepared to invest more in each opportunity. This knowledge in turn can only be supplied through training from the vendor. This industry has both direct and partner-oriented vendors, but its my belief that even the partner-oriented players are going to need to take a more direct role in the development of each new opportunity. There will need to be a basis of trust that enables the partner to call in the vendor whenever appropriate to help develop the opportunity. That's also going to be quite a challenge for some players in our industry!

When it comes to your resume, honesty is the best policy. Never lie about your work experience and create a situation that could result in not getting your dream job. There are strategies you should follow when explaining a gap in your work history, and they all have to do with how you position the gap to address career growth.
Employment gaps—what happened?
You can explain a lapse in employment in your cover letter, during your interview, or both. Be up front and bring it up without being asked, usually when the interviewer moves into the work experience portion of the conversation. First, explain why you weren't working. This could include time off to volunteer, study abroad, travel, raise your children or take a course. It could also include being laid off or fired from a job, and having a difficult time finding a new one.
What did you learn?
While you were unemployed, what did you learn that could benefit your career? If you were let go from a job, briefly explain what happened (in as upbeat a manner as possible, without pointing fingers) and how it ultimately made you a better worker. Show you learned from the situation, and how you'd handle a similar situation in the future.
If you took time off, get creative with your answer. Maybe chasing after children and running a household allowed you to perfect time management and multitasking skills. If you traveled, what did you learn about patience and adaptability? As human beings, we are always learning—think about the skills you've gained you can now apply to your career.
Resume Rx
Aside from discussion, keep your resume up to date. In your work history section, especially if you've been in the working world for a while, trim out employment older than 10-15 years ago. It also helps to clean up the formatting of your resume to list employment dates simply as years, rather than months and years. For example, you worked at XYZ job from 2014–2016. These simple edits may help you minimize employment gaps.
What to remember
No one is perfect, and employers don't expect you are, either. It's noble to admit work gaps—the key is to explain what happened and how it helped you learn and grow.

Christmas shoppers in London will be asked to participate in trials of the Met's latest facial recognition technology. They will have a mobile unit with the surveillance software roaming around the West End, including Piccadilly Circus, Leicester Square and Soho. The officers carrying out the software testing will be in uniform, have information leaflets for those participating and ask individuals if they can be filmed.
The eventual usage of this tool will be covert surveillance, but these trials are overt.
What if I say no to being filmed?
The police have said that anyone who declines the invitation to participate in the trail will not be viewed as suspicious.
Why are the police investing in this kind of technology?
The police often use specially adapted cutting edge technology to make existing systems more efficient or introduce new ways of fighting crime. Such as the new AI systems being used by the Serious Fraud Office.
As reported in The Metro, the person leading the Metropolitan Police's live facial technology development, Ivan Balhatchet, said: "The Met is currently developing the use of live facial recognition technology and we have committed to 10 trials during the coming months. We are now coming to the end of our trials when a full evaluation will be completed."
It could be an extremely useful tool for the police, particularly in high density crowds and it has been used as part of the law enforcement strategy at a number of high profile events.
How does facial recognition technology (FRT) work?
Facial recognition technology, or automated facial recognition (AFR) technology, uses cameras to film people in real time. The cameras also highlight the face area with infrared light which is necessary for the dot projector to do its part. This projector makes a 3D image of the person's face using 30,000 dots of infrared light. The completed image now contains all the precise dimensions of that face. The software then plays snap with the Police National Database to see if this new face matches any of its existing 19 million captured faces.
The idea is that anyone of interest to the police that is attending an event, or is part of a crowd, can be identified and neutralised with greater speed.
Has it been successful so far?
This particular technology does not have a great track record of success with the police so far. The technology is able to identify gender, age, emotion and some other features. Unfortunately, it is not as good at matching two faces and is particularly less accurate when the faces are non-white. In this instance, more work needs to be done with expanding the datasets.
The group Big Brother Watch, found out that only 2% of all the matches made by this technology as used by the Met Police were accurate by asking through the Freedom of Information act system.
As reported by the BBC, in 2016 and 2017, FRT was used by the Met to police the Notting Hill Carnival and a Remembrance Sunday occasion. It wrongly matched 102 people and there were no arrests as a result.
An evaluation of FRT done by South Wales Police highlighted the fact that accuracy decreases both in larger groups of people and if the light is dimmer. They have been using the technology since the 2017 Champions League Final. Their conclusion stated that considerable investment is needed to improve the accuracy of the technology to make it an effective policing tool.
Are there other reasons not to use FRT?
Many people are uncomfortable with the idea of being continuously filmed by ordinary security cameras and this technology takes it one step further. It is covert monitoring of people, most of whom are not under any suspicion of anything criminal, as they go about their daily lives.
Silkie Carlo is the director of Big Brother Watch and said: "The police's use of this authoritarian surveillance tool in total absence of a legal or democratic basis is alarming. Live facial recognition is a form of mass surveillance that, if allowed to continue, will turn members of the public into walking ID cards. 'As with all mass surveillance tools, it is the general public who suffer more than criminals. The fact that it has been utterly useless so far shows what a terrible waste of police time and public money it is. It is well overdue that police drop this dangerous and lawless technology."
There are huge issues with the accuracy of the technology and the possibility of false positives leading to incorrect arrests.
What is the official line on FTR?
In an article on her blog, the Information Commissioner Elizabeth Denham shares these concerns: "A key component of any FRT system is the underlying database of images the system matches to. The use of images collected when individuals are taken into custody is of concern; there are over 19 million images in the Police National Database (PND) database. I am also considering the transparency and proportionality of retaining these photographs as a separate issue, particularly for those arrested but not charged for certain offences. The Biometrics Commissioner has also raised these concerns.
For the use of FRT to be legal, the police forces must have clear evidence to demonstrate that the use of FRT in public spaces is effective in resolving the problem that it aims to address, and that no less intrusive technology or methods are available to address that problem. Strengthened data protection rules coming into law next week require organisations to assess the risks of using new and intrusive technologies, particularly involving biometric data, in a data protection impact and provide it to my office when the risks are difficult to address."
What about innovations in the technology?
What is absolutely clear so far is that a lot of R&D needs to be done to make the software fit for purpose as a crime fighting tool. There are several main elements to the technology that can be refined in order to resolve the problems already identified; infrared dot tech, precision matching, dealing with differing amounts of light, functionality in high density crowds and whatever issues come out of the Met's current trails. If your business is involved in resolving any of these problems, claiming the corresponding R&D Tax Credits is a brilliant financial boost.

12 Over-the-Top Pet Items to Splurge On
Get ready to open those purrr-se strings.By: Aly Semigran
We all spoil our pets. Whether we're buying them the tastiest treats or taking them to the best groomer in town, nothing is too much for our best friend in the world.
That said, there are some seriously over-the-top items made for cats and dogs that may seem excessive, even to the most giving cat and dog mom or dad.
But, if you're really going to splurge on your pet, whether it's for their birthday or just, you know, a Tuesday, you might as well go all out. Check out these 12 extravagant items for seriously pampered felines and canines:
Spa-w Days
Sure, you could just give your pup a bath in your own tub, or bring them to a groomer. Or you could give them the luxury and privacy (doors!) of their very own enclosed shower spa, which hooks up to any home faucet. With six misting jets and a shower wand, your dog will not only be thoroughly cleaned, for the first time ever, he may just look forward to getting a bath.
They See Me Strollin'
While some pets require assistance to get around, others may just need a leisurely way to get from one destination to the next. The adjustable Pet Gear Roadster works for both cats and dogs of all sizes, and includes must-have accessories like a pad with a weather-proof tray.
An Indiana Jones Cat Bridge!
Dah dah dah dah DAH DAH DAH! Dah dah dah dah DAH DAH DAH DAH DAH! You'll be humming the "Indiana Jones" theme song all day as your lucky cats play and climb across their very own bridge inspired by the action hero. Made of pine, paracord roping, twine and steel, this handmade cat bridge can hold up to 85 pounds. According to the designer, CatastrophiCreations, "roping is weaved three feet high along the entire bridge, for added stability and to act as a railing." You'll never be more envious of your cat.
Give a Dog a Bone (Pool)
If you're spending the dog days of summer lounging by the pool, there's no reason your pup shouldn't get to do the same. But, rather than worrying about chlorine levels, you can allow your canine to cool off in her very own bone-shaped pool.
Making the Home a Litter Bit Nicer
Spruce up your home by hiding the ever-so-unsightly kitty litter box, all while giving your cat a refined, fancy place to do her business. The Meow Town Concord Litter Box Cabinet gives your feline plenty of space to get in and out, and gives your house a mahogany-colored accent piece.
That's So Fetch
Your dog could probably play fetch all day, but let's face it, you don't have the time (or the arm strength) to do it 24/7. That's where the iFetch comes in. This interactive ball launcher allows your dog to decide when she wants to play her favorite game.
How Much is That Kitty in the Window?
Sitting by a window is so pedestrian. No, for your fine indoor feline, there simply must be a cat conservatory. Designed by the CatSolarium, this package includes the solarium as well as a plexiglass back panel with a cat door, a pillow, a cat perch, a mesh screen and a plexiglass weather enclosure.
Barking For Bling
In addition to having the proper identification, there will be no mistaking who your dog is when she's rocking this blinged-out, handmade collar made of leather, rhinestones and crystals.
Find Me Under the Pawlm Tree
Whisk your cat away to a tropical location without a passport or a battle royale to get into the carrier. Instead, let her lounge and sharpen her nails under her palm tree cat scratcher. Complete with an animal-friendly ficus plant, a manila rope swing, and some lush, green carpeting, it's basically a feline vacation, 365 days a year.
You Can't Spell Couture Without Cute
If your pup is attending a wedding, or just being generally fabulous and fashionable, this rose couture dog harness dress with a blush pink satin bodice is the look of the season. Adorned with decorative roses and pearls, it'll be the nicest thing in your dog's closet, or quite possibly, yours.
Roll With It, Kitty
Sushi is one of the most delicious, decadent meals you can have. Unfortunately, while your kitty can't share a yummy California Roll with you, she can have her very own plush toys that look just like Maki and Nigiri and taste just like her favorite indulgence of all: catnip!
Sweet Dreams Are Made of These
After a long day of being spoiled, your pampered pet can rest her paws on this antique, Victorian-inspired French Iron White Scroll bed. Ooh la la, indeed.

Importance of CMMS Systems
All organization works to see to it that all the information about a company is in the right order. This includes making sure that the data which include the critical data about a company is secured. This has the effect of making sure that the data of each company is well kept. This will help in making sure that only the authorized people can get access to the critical information of the company. This help the company to enjoy the competitive advantage over the other companies dealing I the same line of the business.
We also need to make sure that the assets of the business are also taken care of. We should, therefore, make sure that we are in a position to get the right way in which we can be able to take good care of the assets of the company. Use of the Computerized management maintenance software can be one of the best ways in which we can be able to make this possible.
The CMMS systems are very effective I making sure that we can take care of the assets of a company at any given time. CMMS can be best defined as the package that helps a company be in apposition to take care of its assets at all the time. This can show that the CMMS is very vital for any company.
A the company can realize a lot of benefits from using the CMMS. Preventing the downtime is one of the benefits that the firm realizes from the use of the CMMS. The CMMS systems are very beneficial since they help to determine any use default that arises within the assets due to its usage. This help us to get just the right kind of data in case the default in the assets arises. This is important since we can be able to prevent further damage to the assets all the time.
If proper care of the assets is not put into consideration may lead to corruption of the company's data. The production process of the company may stop is the assets are not taken care of in time.
Cost effectiveness is another benefit of the CMMS system. The reason is that the CMMs system can be able to detect any form of malfunction in the assets of the company.
Helping to increase the productivity of the company is also another merit of the company. This is because it is able to outline all information about a particular job.
The CMMS can also help to increase productivity since they can be able to detect default in time. This will help to ensure that the production process continues smoothly at any one time.

The construction of Gloucester Gateway Motorway Service Area is progressing well.
The Northbound section of the service station opened in May 2014 and works on the Southbound side are currently underway, with an estimated completion date of May 2015.
An extensive planning process has been undertaken in order to carry out the project. Premier Construction caught up with Nick Wiley, Project Manager of the Gloucester Gateway Motorway Service Area project, to find out more about the development. He told us that Gloucester Gateway Ltd, a subsidiary company of Westmorland Ltd, have opened the Gloucester Services in a bid to offer something new to motorway travellers.
Westmorland Ltd currently run Tebay Services in Cumbria, located on the M6, and have launched the new service space in Gloucester with the aim of replicating their popular Tebay Service site. Westmorland run their Tebay site independently and do not operate the retail outlets on a franchise basis, instead they manage all of the units themselves offering a very unique, specialised retail experience for visitors.
The Gloucester based service station contains an array of outlets serving a plethora of fresh, farmer's market foods from local suppliers. Nick Wiley said that the station was designed in order to be environmentally friendly and sympathetic to the rural surroundings. He added:
"The service station lies on a Greenfield site and so there were a lot of planning constraints due to the two hills that lay either side of the motorway. The planners did not want the service station to be extremely visible from the surrounding hills. In order to achieve this we have fitted green roofs on the main building and petrol station and implemented lots of landscaped areas on the site. We have planted flowers and trees to hide the impact of the car park."
The main contractors on the project were Buckingham Group Ltd and they have worked alongside AFL Architects in order to carry out the design and build contract. The project has progressed very smoothly with the first phase of works completing a week ahead of schedule and within budget. Nick said:
"The site has been an interesting build as we have basically buried it in the landscape. The whole principle of the service station is to comprise a sort of farmers market offering fresh, high quality produce to those travelling on the motorway.
"I am very proud to have worked on a project like this; it is not every day you get to work on a motorway service area especially not one like this."

The price tag of Positivity
by Emily Sturgill August 5, 2014
is dreadful.
They say-only think
the shiny sparkle
of happy silver shiny
positive thoughts.
So I in turn
turn my Anger
inside out
focusing the pointy
raw sharp knife edges,
into my own Soul.
I bury this Anger
so deeply…
I have not got a clue
where does it go?
but it does not stay
gone long
the buddha once said,
Life is suffering
and to this I do
When things are happiest
and seem perfect,
you know that deep down
sooner or later
richer or poorer,
its going to end.
And if we don't allow
our Big and Wide enough Hearts
to contain Sorrow-
how will Joy ever slip in?

Anyone who has a close family member with Alzheimer's disease knows how devastating it can be. This disease slowly causes the brain to deteriorate, and the individual who has it often has almost no short term memory and cannot recognize his or her loved ones.
This can be very hard on the family, because the person that they once loved and had a real relationship with is gone. However, it can be amazing when they have moments of lucidity, which sometimes happens in even the most severe cases. During these moments, they once again recognize their family members, and it is like they family has the individual back, if only for a short time.
Kelly is one of these family members of an Alzheimer's patient. Her mother suffers from Alzheimer's disease, and Kelly by now is used to experiencing her mother not recognizing her. However, at one point, her mother had a lucid moment where she knew who her daughter was and told her just how much she loved her. This exchange is amazing, because for this brief moment, Kelly has her mother back. Her mother is no longer an Alzheimer's patient for the time being – she is her mother again.
This video captures this touching and surprising moment. Both women radiate love for one another, and Kelly's surprise at her mother's recognition of her is absolutely priceless to watch. It just goes to show that even when the mind deteriorates, the person is still there and still loving.

Computer is only responsive when user moves mouse
I recently upgraded one of the computers at work from Windows XP to Windows 7.
We are on the 32-bit enterprise edition.
The computer is a Dell Core 2 Quad 2.83Ghz processor from 2009.
The user asked if I could come down to check out the computer today
and noticed something peculiar.
I attempted to open chrome and the page was not loading, so I opened task manager and looked at performance page.
The entire performance page would stay frozen on 16% (or whatever it was at) until I moved the mouse.
While I
was moving the mouse around, it was updating every second or so, but the second I stopped, it would freeze again.
The user also told me that her clock will gradually get behind a few hours.
We image computers fairly frequently and have noticed this on another
computer we started to image last week.
We are using the same installation disk and installing the same programs from our secure University sources.
Could it possibly be a BIOS setting we are not seeing? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for
your time.
