I couldn't have asked for a better cast on my first film.

"So far we have not been able to track down any specific Russian activity," said Simon Hegelich," a professor of political science data at the Technical University of Munich who has advised the German government about the threat of hacking and fake news.
More: Trump is boosting Merkel's re-election campaign because he is so unpopular
Instead, Hegelich and others point to an alliance of mostly anonymous online trolls and extremist agitators who are disseminating right-wing materials through YouTube; messaging board sites like 4chan and reddit; and Gab.ai, a texting service.
"A lot of the stuff we are seeing in Germany can be linked to, or is at least inspired by, the 'alt-right' movement in the U.S.," Hegelich said, referring to a loosely defined group whose far-right ideology includes racism, populism and white nationalism.
He said proving connections among sympathizers is extremely difficult and may never be conclusive. But an analysis of 300 million tweets over the past six months by Hegelich and researchers at the Technical University of Munich shows Germany is a hotspot for posts that use the hashtag "#AltRight."
Many denigrate both leading candidates — Merkel and her conservative Christian Democratic Union party, and her chief rival, Martin Schulz of the left-of-center Social Democratic Party — with the hashtags #Merkel and #Schulz.
And many of those posts originate in the U.S., adding to the impression that right-wing social media users in both countries may be trying to sway German public opinion. It's possible that some of this alt-right messaging coming out of the U.S. may be connected to Russian interference; that, too, is difficult to determine, Hegelich said.
"There will never be an election again in which trolling, hacking and extreme far-right politics do not play a role," Andrew Auernheimer, a hacker and blogger for the U.S. neo-Nazi Daily Stormer website wrote after Donald Trump's election victory last year.
The Daily Stormer has been available intermittently since August after major technology firms including Google forced the site offline for comments about the death of Heather Heyer by an alt-right protester in Charlottesville, Va. Nevertheless, the website continues to publish commentaries about the German election.
"There is essentially no chance that the AfD (Alternative for Germany party) can win this election," Adrian Sol wrote Sunday on the site, referring to Germany's far-right anti-immigration and anti-European Union party.
"However, if they can keep putting pressure on the establishment and change the narrative, (there) may be hope yet that Germany can some day be saved."
A report published Wednesday by Hope Not Hate, a British anti-racism watchdog, concluded that the alt-right movement has "breathed life and youth back into formerly declining and dormant parts of the European extreme right."
The report, based on an undercover investigation of far-right figureheads, found that extremist individuals, organizations, websites and forums on both sides of the Atlantic are increasingly engaging with each another and "weaponizing" the Internet.
Sandro Gaycken, the founder and director of the Berlin-based Digital Society Institute, said right-wing voices are trying to infiltrate conversations about the German election on Facebook and other social media platforms.
One example: Gaycken said for the past two months, new and existing Facebook users in Germany who search for political discussion groups on the social media platform have been automatically given recommendations that prioritize right-wing parties such as AfD, expected to enter the country's national parliament for the first time after Sunday's vote.
"It's really strange because Facebook says this should be impossible because you are only supposed to get recommendations based on your own 'friends,' 'groups' and 'likes.' But everyone in Germany is getting these right-wing party recommendations," he said.
"Even left-wing journalists."
In a statement, Facebook said it was aware of the issue reported in Germany and that it was related to its "Groups Discover" feature, and that it has now temporarily turned off the category "news and politics" in the "Discover" tab while it investigates the matter.
Facebook said it was also examining the accounts of apparently fake users who purchased Facebook ads during the U.S. election. These accounts were subsequently linked to the pro-Kremlin troll farm known as the Internet Research Agency. Facebook said that it has not yet uncovered similar ad purchases related to the German vote.
"We haven't seen any trace of the Russians, just right-wingers," Gaycken added.
According to polls published by German media Sunday, Merkel's party is projected to win 36% of the vote, well ahead of Schulz's SPD on 22%. AfD is forecast to come in third, with 11%. If Merkel wins, she could forge ahead with plans to pursue closer political and economic union with EU members, a policy as deeply unpopular with AfD's supporters as her decision to open Germany's borders to 1 million refugees since 2015.
Germany's vulnerability to political hackers, Internet trolls and bots linked to Russia is hard to gauge. Plus, there may not be much point doing so, according to Mark Galeotti, who runs the Center for European Security, a research institute in Prague.
"There is no 'pro-Putin' candidate," he said.
"Any interference would be unlikely to have any substantive impact on the election result and only harden Germany's position against Moscow."
Merkel has nevertheless sought to blunt potential Russian interference through aggressive public information campaigns, by establishing additional cybersecurity agencies and strategies and by ushering in the Network Enforcement Act, a law that come this October will fine social media companies up to $57 million if they do not remove hate speech, defamation and incitements to violence within 24 hours.
German political parties also pledged not to use social bots in the election campaign, and independent media monitoring organizations such as Correctiv, which debunk fake news and call out disinformation, have been established recently.
The government has insisted the software used to tabulate votes — paper ballots are hand-counted and then passed to regional authorities — is secure despite a study published Sept. 7. by the Chaos Computer Club, a German technology watchdog, showing the system's encryption method was outdated and vulnerable to manipulation.
But what may seem like a lack of interest from Moscow may just be a sign of success.
"I think there is more Russian activity than meets the eye," said Joerg Forbrig, a Berlin-based political affairs expert at the German Marshall Fund of the United States, a public policy think tank whose Alliance for Securing Democracy unit built an online tool that tracks Russian propaganda and disinformation efforts. Its "Hamilton 68" dashboard analyzes about 600 Twitter accounts directly controlled by Russia, by users who promote Russian themes, and by users and topics Russia seeks to discredit or attack.
"In the past we have seen a very systematic and skilled outreach program into Germany's Russian-speaking population. This was first tested in state elections in Berlin last September. In those areas where there are very high numbers of Russian speakers living in Berlin, the AfD's vote share was up to 35%," Forbrig said.
He said these campaigns involved circulating posters and leaflets with messages that were inimical to the German government's position on Russian sanctions or NATO.
Forbrig said there could be forms of Russian support for the AfD not yet recognized.
The Alliance for Securing Democracy has concluded that Russia has meddled in the affairs of at least 27 European and North American countries since 2004 with interference that ranges from cyberattacks to disinformation campaigns.
In 2015, a Russian-intelligence-linked hacking group called Fancy Bear stole data from German parliamentarians, including Merkel. This data has yet to be released to the public. Fancy Bear is the same group thought to be behind the hacks of the Democratic National Committee in the run up to the U.S. election. Moscow repeatedly has dismissed allegations it intervenes in elections as anti-Russian propaganda.
More: Alleged Russian political meddling documented in 27 countries since 2004
Still, Forbrig added the German election may be less susceptible to outside influence for three reasons: Voters watched alleged Russian meddling take place in the U.S. and French elections, which has led to high levels of awareness; Germany's multi-party electoral system makes it more difficult to predict how messages and information targeted at one group might impact others; and Germany's media is, Forbrig said, generally more "balanced and calm" and lacks "shrill voices" compared to its counterparts elsewhere. Further, its media is still viewed as a trusted source of information — not always the case in President Trump's Washington.
"If the Russians have any juicy information obtained on Merkel or anyone else they probably would have dumped it by now," said Melissa Hooper, an expert on legal and civil society issues related to former Soviet Union countries.
Hooper has followed Russia's attempts to use Kremlin-backed NGOs, think tanks and public policy foundations to influence the outcome of the German election. Additionally, she is trying to determine if there is any crossover between what these institutions are saying about the German election and messaging coming from right-wing groups.
"On a lot of issues you see similarities, and they are what you would expect: the functioning of the EU; democracy and whether it's serving everyone or really the provenance of elites; it's about NATO and issues of migration," she said.
Hooper added: "I have not seen any gotcha moment yet."

Using a blended approach to learning, with time for reflection and 'real world' leadership learning through applied learning and challenge, the programme provides access to world-class leadership experts and opportunities to build connections with leaders from across the sector and the UK. Embedded within the programme is Clore Social's Capabilities Framework, an evolving leadership model which outlines the skills, attributes and behaviours of social leaders.
Thanks to the generous support from the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation, Garfield Weston Foundation and the Forces in Mind Trust, we have been able to offer a number of free and heavily discounted places in 2018 to those working within the Women and Girls Sector, individuals working for charities based within the North East and individuals within the Military Services Charities Sector.
'This is our most exciting and far-reaching programme yet', said Louise Drake, Director of Programmes and Innovations at Clore Social Leadership. 'We have finessed our leadership development innovations in answer to feedback from the sector, and the rapidly changing requirements of successful social leadership. The 50% leap in participant numbers illustrates the appetite to revolutionise leadership to achieve social change.'
The 49 Experienced Leader Programme participants are:
During the programme participants will be asked to work on a real world challenge project and immediately put into practice newly gained skills and tools to bring back to their organisations.

Product: Bombilla Gourd tea (green, white and oolong), $1.69-$1.89 for a 16.9 fluid ounce bottle, at Whole Foods and Wild Oats.
Key ingredients: Organic tea using filtered water and vitamin C.
The pitch: The natural antioxidants in tea are healthy and good for you; no calories or carbs.
Pros: Although not conclusive, studies have suggested numerous health benefits from drinking tea, primarily from EGCg, a natural antioxidant in tea. A Japanese study that appeared in March 2004 in the journal Nature Structural & Molecular Biology found the growth of human lung cancer cells was slowed significantly after drinking two or three cups of green tea. Drinking black tea lowers stress hormone levels, according to a 2006 University College of London study in the journal Psychopharmacology.
Cons: In a 2005 review of health benefit claims about green tea, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration concluded it was highly unlikely that green tea reduces the risk of breast and prostate cancer. The FDA believes evidence does not support the suggested link between green tea and reduced risk of cancer. Consuming too much tea can cause kidney damage, as well as soak up free calcium in the body. Certain antibiotics, heart medicine and other drugs have negative interactions with green tea.
Bottom line: Better than soda and sugared teas, but can�t beat water.
Gourd tea full of antioxidants
Product: Bombilla Gourd tea (green, white and oolong), $1.69-$1.89 for a 16.9 fluid ounce bottle, at Whole Foods and Wild Oats.

Mention the name Henny Youngman today and only a very few people in Pennsylvania are likely to know who you're talking about. Chances are good that they are all over 50. Youngman was a 20th century comedian who was famous for one-liners such as, "Why do Jewish divorces cost so much? They're worth it." And, "Take my wife, please!"
You might get the idea from this little walk through time that divorce humor is something relatively new. The truth is that the track record of divorce humor is a whole lot longer than that.
Indeed, back in 1615, Spanish author Miguel de Cervantes wrote a comedy entitled, "The Divorce Court Judge." One line of the play has a wife saying to the judge, "In well-ordered societies a marriage should be reviewed every three years, and dissolved or renewed like a rental agreement."
Considering the dim view society has long held of divorce, and the nature of the world back in 1615, one can only imagine the eyebrows that must have arched when that line was first uttered within earshot of an audience. If the local bishop happened to be there, he better not have been caught laughing.
Divorce is still not a very fun thing to go through, but we think many would agree that it can help to have a sense of humor about it. Being able to laugh over some aspects, even a little bit, may be crucial for getting through the emotional and frustrating period and on to the next rung of life's ladder.
Clearing the various hurdles related to support, property division, and issues related to parenting if children are involved in as quick a fashion as possible can help, too. And the chances of settling a divorce efficiently and cost-effectively are bound to be increased when you enlist the help of an experienced attorney.

Hilarious Joke About Telephone Food Shortage Survey
Last month a world-wide telephone survey was conducted by the UN.
The only question asked was:-
"Would you please give your honest opinion about solutions to the food shortage in the rest of the world?"
The survey was a huge failure because of the following:
In Eastern Europe they didn't know what "honest" meant.
In Western Europe they didn't know what "shortage" meant.
In Africa they didn't know what "food" meant.
In China they didn't know what "opinion" meant.
In the Middle East they didn't know what "solution" meant.
In South America they didn't know what "please" meant.
In the US they didn't know what "the rest of the world" meant.
And finally.......In England they hung up because they couldn't understand the researcher's Indian accent.

Your blog "Just for laugh" signifies the reality the world is facing & we can say its a sad part of humanity because we are the one who are creating all this difficulties & we are the one who are creating humor so that we people can relax & make our day healthy through such jokes.. I like the blog as its has both a statement on current situation with humor..
shut it
that joke is sweet... on second thought- you need to take yourself way less seriously. i bet there isa joke out there somewhere that you could not ruin with your ridiculous politically correct statement. go run for office somewhere and shut the piehole when it comes to the funny stuff
Hilarious joke
And on the "please" comment about South Americans. Anyone who has lived south of the border has seen how pushy some of my fellow Latinos can be. Heck! I'm Latina and it pisses me off at times.
So YES, that part of the joke makes a great deal of sense to many of us. I've been elbowed out of the way by some of the rudest men in Latin America as much as I've had some of the most polite men hold doors open from me. And sorry, but I have to say once again that it is usually the campesinos who lack manners. And I know the campesinos will hate me for this, and frankly I don't give a shit.
I'm of the fabric that even in Latin America we don't have to be poorly raised, just because we are poor sometimes. And what I've found is that some of the most liberal Americans and Canadians, who get disgusted over silly jokes like this, are some of the most racist assholes when it comes to dealing with our culture. They pompously presume they know our culture better than us, they try to tell us how we should think. Forgive me for not enjoying the politically correct nonsense of people who I've found usually demonstrate the worst racism and hostility as demonstrated on the Living Nica site, to mankind.
I don't get the whole 'South
I don't get the whole 'South Americans don't understand what "please" means' thing. May you please elucidate? Does it imply that they are a rude people? I get the other ones, just never heard of this particular stereotype.
Irony, slapstick, demeaning jokes, stupid jokes, puns, riddles, political jokes, religious jokes, racial jokes, ageist, sexist, and sexual jokes, all will test one's personal sense of humor. Jokes are free speech. "Politically correct" is another word for hypersensitive homogenization of expression. Isn't it..
Why should we make jokes about Germans? They've hardly bothered us since 1918. Why make jokes about the Kennedy's? They are as dead as Nixon (he is he still dead, isn't he?). By the way, did Teddy ever get his license back? Or will a preschool ever be named after Michael Jackson? And weren't the Pilgrims at Plymouth Rock the first wetbacks? Remember, If a politicians lips are moving..
Humor is everywhere. As I write this reponse to the respondererer, I note an article to the right entitled "How to Make Virgin Coconut Oil With Milyn and Peter Christopher. Now you know that's not going to work. You have to use coconuts, and people would probably miss Milyn and Pete sooner or later. Or are they talking about whispering sweet nothings in the coconut's ear? Or telling it you're a Movie Producter?
The only true power you have in this world is humor. They can take away your freedoms, they can tell you to respect their authority, but they are defensless in the face of laughter. If you don't make jokes about the politically correct, THEY will control the world.
not politically correct?
Well, correct or not it was funny and I think we need more laughter in the world.
We can be sad for all the poverty, injutice and corruption but how much action on these things do most people take? Not much I fear to say. Most people talk a lot. Me, I do what I can to try to make the world a better place, in my daily life. I would like to be able to feed the hungry. Right now I am struggling to figure out how I am going to feed myself for the next few years.
I try to keep a light heart and laugh. I think it adds good energy to the world.

A few weeks ago I was asked to hold a workshop for children 8-12 years old. The workshop was held this past Tuesday and it was a great success! The kids were into it and I even saw some kids implementing some techniques I taught them. Smart cookies.
As is typical, some of the kids were shy, but some were very vocal. One of the kids is going to be an artist guaranteed. She's so talented it blew my mind.
I feel so fortunate to have spent time with these cool kids. Thanks to Gillian at the Woodstock Public Library for asking me to hold this workshop. I had a lot of fun!

Is Jesse Jackson retired? Or was it that Al Sharpton couldn't work a new assignment into his no-doubt arduous schedule?
Whatever the reason, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel yesterday snatched a second-tier race hustler off the waiver wire to act as "senior adviser" to his new Task Force on Police Accountability.
C'mon down, former Mass. Gov. Deval Patrick!
This is a native of Chicago who has himself been the victim of a senseless street crime. In his seldom-purchased autobiography, he claimed that as a youth on the mean streets of the South Side, somebody once bounced a Coke can off his forehead. An empty Coke can.
No really, he said that.
Mayor Emanuel is trying to save his own sorry political skin after the scandal involving his administration's apparent cover up of the killing of a 16-year-old black man Laquan McDonald by a white Chicago cop just before Emanuel began his reelection bid. The video of the cop shooting the youth 16 times was not released until last week, months after the city settled out of court with the family, for $5 million. Shortly after the hush payment, Emanuel won a surprisingly tight race against an underfunded opponent.
So Monday Emanuel fired his police chief and appointed this new task force to investigate the practices of the Chicago Police Department. As for Deval Patrick, he now comes full circle. He began his career, such as it is, as what Tom Wolfe once described as a "mau-mauer," a community organizer-type, an NAACP lawyer filing suits against the death penalty and prison conditions.
Now, after his failed governorship in Massachusetts, he becomes what Wolfe called a "flak catcher" – a bureaucrat paid to be taunted by the very mau-mauers from "the community" from which Deval sprung, sort of, considering that he was packed off at age 14 to the same exclusive New England prep school Ted Kennedy graduated from.
Patrick does bring impeccable credentials to his new gig as Head Flak Catcher. First of all, he will do what he is told.
Second, he's tight with Obama. But even more importantly for the new job, he's thisclose to David Axelrod, the Chicago political guru with ties to Obama and Emanuel. A former reporter for the Chicago Tribune, Axelrod masterminded Deval's first bid for governor of Massachusetts in 2006, a content-free campaign that parlayed white guilt into easy victory, presaging what would happen nationally two years later.
None of this is a secret. This morning, in the Tribune, columnist John Kass wrote: "If there's one thing Chicago needs, it's yet another blue-ribbon task force led by a guy from Boston who knows Axelrod."
But Deval is black, and he will do what he is told. He will stand behind the mayor and be what he has always been – window dressing. In an earlier incarnation, he was paid millions by both Coke and Texaco as he departed after brief stints in their corporate boardrooms. To quote Tom Wolfe once again, this latest assignment is all about "steam control" – keeping a lid on "the community."
As for Deval Patrick's actual credentials in law enforcement, they are somewhat less than negligible:
- On the sixth anniversary of 9/11, publicly referred to the genocidal terror attacks by Islamists that killed 3000 Americans as, among other things, "a failure of human beings to understand each other."
- In 2008, he made robo calls for Roxbury state senator Dianne Wilkerson, who two months earlier had been photographed by the FBI stuffing $100 bills into her bra. When she was indicted for bribery, Deval called the charges "troubling." After her release from prison last year, Wilkerson (Bureau of Prisons number 21757-038) tried to get a job at Boston 2024, the now-defunct outfit trying to bring the summer Olympics to Massachusetts. Boston 2024 had also planned to pay Deval $7500 a day to work as a lobbyist until the contract was reported in the Boston Herald. (No word from Chicago City Hall on whether the new "senior adviser" will be collecting a stipend.)
- In his final days as governor last December, he pardoned a number of criminals, including a former gang-banger named True-See Allah, who was convicted of attempted murder in 1989 for a shooting that left the victim paralyzed.
- Gutted the state's Criminal Offender Record Information (CORI) Act, making it much more difficult for the public to learn the records of ex-cons. Patrick's administration described the "new screening criteria" as blocking 57,029 attempts by citizens to obtain criminal records of ex-cons in the final 30 months of his term. This, the Patrick administration bragged, meant that the jailbirds' bids for "housing, financial aid" etc. "were not compromised by the dissemination of irrelevant" rap sheets.
- Hired as a $150,000 assistant cabinet secretary a flamboyant, platinum-haired gay lawyer named Carl Stanley McGee. McGee was arrested in 2007 in Lee County Florida and charged with sexual battery of a 15-year-old boy in a steam room. The case was eventually dismissed, the Boston Globe reported, after "McGee paid a private settlement to the family of his alleged victim." In 2012, Deval attempted to bring his friend back into state government, picking him to become executive director of the new State Gaming Commission. A public uproar ensued, and McGee was not appointed.
- In 2013, after the arrest of surviving Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, Deval went alone in a chi-chi bistro in West Stockbridge named Rouge, where he chowed down on duck confit and Chardonnay. "I was actually quite drunk, by myself," he told the Boston Herald.
- The next morning, after reading Tsarnaev's jihadist suicide note, he went on CBS' Face the Nation and lied that he had no idea of the motives of "those two young fellas."
- Trivialized massive welfare fraud in Massachusetts as "anecdotes" and "leakage."
- As an NAACP lawyer, once sued the state of Maryland for serving inmates in the maximum-security prison meals that he claimed were too cold and milk that was too warm. Also mentioned in his complaint underinflated basketballs and the fact that lifers had only one basket to shoot at.
- Gave $5,000 to the legal defense of convicted rapist Ben LaGuer, who was seeking a DNA test to prove his innocence, which he got, which proved Deval's pen pal was… guilty.
- Fired his own chairwoman of the state's Sex Offender Registry Board last year because she wanted the name of Deval's brother-in-law, a convicted rapist, included on the list.
- On his watch a rogue chemist at a state crime lab admitted to falsifying 34,000 drug tests, leading to the mass release of scores, if not hundreds of convicted drug dealers, as well as payouts of tens of millions of dollars for false imprisonment.
- On his watch, state health officials failed to detect problems at a compounding pharmacy in Framingham that shipped out tainted steroids which, according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), killed at least 64 people and sickened hundreds more.
- As soon as he became governor, Deval ordered the purchase by the state of a new Cadillac as his official vehicle, leading to one of his nicknames, "Coupe Deval." Later he agreed to partially pay for the Cad. A few years later, when yet another new vehicle, a sleek $52,000 SUV, was purchased for his personal fleet, a "testy" Deval told reporters that the State Police had decided to upgrade his wheels, and that he had nothing to do with their decision.
- Was forced to fire his entire parole board, including his campaign driver, a former cop in his hometown of Milton, whom he had appointed chairman. The board had cut loose a killer doing three life terms for murder, after which the career criminal murdered a Woburn police officer during a jewelry robbery. The fired cop, who is black, was then hired as an $80,000-a-year "assistant to the vice president" of Bridgewater State University, whose president was also black. The college said they had been impressed by the cop's work with the local NAACP.
- Deval was such a rabid supporter of racial-preference laws that even the ultra-liberal New Republic magazine wrote in 1994: "Rather than honestly confronting the costs of affirmative action, Patrick has blithely endorsed the most extreme form of racialism."
- Despite degrees from both Harvard College and Harvard Law School, was unable to pass the bar exam until his third try. His lieutenant governor, Tim "Crash" Murray, also repeatedly failed the bar exam.
- Appointed a Democrat hack to an $87,000-a-year job as director of the Mass. Highway Safety Division, which is supposed to promote safe driving. She resigned after it was reported that she had 34 entries on her driving record, including seven accidents, four speeding tickets, one citation for driving without a license, and had failed on occasion to pay her local automobile excise taxes.
- Issued an executive order in August 2014 forbidding the Mass. State Police from asking illegal aliens about their immigration status. The new Republican governor has yet to rescind the order.
- Without legislative approval, Deval illegally diverted $27 million in state funds to off-budget accounts to pay for his junkets, I mean trade missions.
- Refused to release public cell-phone records of his lieutenant governor after "Crash" Murray wrecked his state car while doing 108 m.p.h. in his pajamas at dawn. After Murray was forced to resign, Deval then appointed the public safety secretary who stonewalled the press to a $159,000-a-year state judgeship.
Is it too late for Mayor Emanuel and his minion Axelrod to call the bullpen to bring in Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton?
Howie Carr is the author of the new novel about organized crime in Boston, Killers, which is available at Amazon.com.

Quick Reference
Data, or sets of data, that demonstrate the process(es) by which a specific task has been conducted and the outcomes, e.g., the way a physician has conducted routinely required actions involved in patient care: taking a medical history, performing a routine physical examination and necessary ancillary investigations, and providing appropriate treatment. In public health, "process" performance indicators include immunization uptake rates, proportions of eligible populations covered by maternal and child care services, and smoking prevention programs. Notifications of vaccine-preventable diseases are an indicator of inadequate population coverage by immunization programs.

The necessity of accurate data processing plays a major role when compared to all other technological developments. There are multiple verticals where data entry outsourcing is done such as forms processing, data processing, data mining, data conversion and much more. Data Entry Outsourcing does not bound just checking language standards and looking for typographical errors.
The effective process management of any organizations depends on the data management. Many companies approach this data management process with a different line of attack to effectively manage this process. Outsourcing this kind of process saves more time and money to the organization, so that they can concentrate on much more complex process. Data entry outsourcing saves more time and attains accurate results when handled by experts like us.
Techniques such as optical and intelligent character recognition are used by most of the data entry outsourcing companies to achieve accurate data processing. Project hard copy documents are scanned and made available electronically so that the actual data entry process starts by extracting the data from the scanned files. Converting the files electronically saves more space and made ease to distribute and allocate to the particular team.
It is usually easy to handle small data entry project but handling high volume takes a detailed preparation and planning. Only good experienced reliable data entry companies could deliver it with high quality. Data entry staffs are usually highly trained and have a good speed in typing. It is very important for data entry staffs to stay focused for long hours without losing their concentration. Data entry requires a different skill set when compared to data conversion. Identifying the right skills for the right job is a key aspect to successful project delivery.
Data entry process requires a right combination of accurate data entry and technological automations. Many companies use various automation techniques like optical character recognition and intelligent character recognition. Most of the data entry processes are performed as key from image model. Project hard copy documents are usually scanned to be it electronically available for actual data entry process. It is very important to have the files available electronically, so it becomes easy for file allocation and distribution to the teams.

Each critter steers left or right and speeds up or slows down based on the collective behaviors of its neighbors.
For this second deliverable, we will define neighborhoods for bugs and the features over neighborhoods that will be needed to determine the appropriate steering adjustments that give rise to swarming. After reading the descriptions below, you may want to come back and read the sections on Separation, Cohesion and Alignment, as well as the section on Combining Behaviors, from this paper by Craig Reynolds.
In addition, we will refine our representation of a bug. Since we are anticipating bugs of different types (e.g., bees from different swarms), your bug data type should include fields type and color (both of which should be symbols). In order to have everyone on the same page, use the following structure definition: (define-struct bug (loc vel type color)), where loc and vel are posns as before and type and color are symbols.
We define the neighborhood of a bug to be that circular area surrounding and centered on the given bug out to the value of the global variable, NEIGHBORHOOD-RADIUS, excluding a wedge immediately behind the bug where it is not looking. The size of this excluded wedge is determined by another variable FIELD-OF-VIEW, which should be interpreted as an angle (in radians). (You should define these two global variables and use them throughout your code. I should be able to modify these values when grading your projects and your program should cause bugs to move accordingly.) The FIELD-OF-VIEW angle, deflecting to the left and right of the bug's current heading, defines how much of the circle is perceived by the bug. Essentially, bugs can see pretty much around them but not directly behind them with respect to the direction they are headed.
Given a bug and the neighborhood around it, the sub-swarm of bugs within the given bug's neighborhood are called neighbors.
Based on a set of neighbors for a given bug, you will implement three behaviors: separation, cohesion, and alignment. Bugs should avoid bumping into neighbors, essentially maintaining a 'personal space' separation around each bug. At the same time, bugs 'want' to stay close to the other bugs so as to travel in a cohesive group. In order to travel together in the group, the bugs want to align their speed and heading with their neighbors.
Each of the three behaviors -- separation, cohesion and alignment -- will be implemented by computing steering adjustment vectors that will be employed during each bug's update. That is, in your first deliverable you updated a bug's position by adding the velocity vector. Now, bugs' velocity vectors will be updated by adjustments based on the three behaviors. This resulting velocity will be used to update the bug's position as before.
Separation. In order to implement separation, we will need to find the position offset (not just distance, but directional distance) from the given bug for each bug in the neighborhood. These vectors act as repelling forces and are scaled by the inverse-squares of the plain distance to each respective bug. Thus, a neighbor that is close to the bug will have a stronger repelling force than one that is just inside the NEIGHBOR-RADIUS. Given all the repelling forces for each bug in the neighborhood, the vectors are combined (summed) into a single separation steering vector.
Cohesion. In order to implement cohesion, we find the average position for all bugs in the neighborhood. This position is in some sense the place this bug wants to be. To generate a cohesion steering vector, we subtract our bug's current location from the desired location (i.e., the average location we found first).
Alignment. To implement alignment, we simply find the average velocity vector of all neighbors. This average is the desired (for the purposes of alignment) velocity vector. To generate an alignment steering vector, we subtract our bug's current velocity vector from the desired vector (i.e., the average we found first). The resulting vector, when added to our current velocity, would make the bug's velocity the same as the average of its neighbors.
Edge-avoidance Although we implemented our update such that bugs flying off one edge reappear at the other, we want bugs to avoid going off the edge. Thus, you will also implement an edge avoidance steering vector. Edge avoidance steering should be handled similar to that of separation above. If an edge is 'visible' within the neighborhood, the edge-avoidance steering adjustment should produce a vector pointing away from the edge with a magnitude based on the inverse square of the distance to the edge. (Hint: treat the point of the edge that is nearest to the bug as a pseudo bug and create a separation vector based on that bug alone.)
Nominal-speed. Left to their own devices, the bugs in your swarm may all come to a halt. Consequently, the bugs in our swarms have an 'innate drive' to travel at a particular nominal speed. They will deviate from this in order avoid edges, align with other bugs, and so on. But there is always a push to go faster if they are currently moving slower than their nominal speed. Similarly, if they are traveling faster than their nominal speed (say, perhaps because of cohesion) then there is a contributing factor that wants to slow the bug down.
For your second project deliverable, you should define the global variables NEIGHBORHOOD-RADIUS and FIELD-OF-VIEW as described above. Revise your structure definition for bugs as described above. You must implement the following functions with their given contracts:
Finally, in order to implement the swarming required for this deliverable, you will need to modify your update-bug function so that the bug's new velocity takes into account the four steering vectors and the nominal speed vector implemented above. Your finished submission should be able to animate many bugs that start off randomly flying about and gradually cohere into an identifiable swarm.
To grade this deliverable, I will review your code (including contracts, purpose statements, indentation, etc.). I will run the four functions with my own swarm. It is important that you follow the instructions carefully. Remember to include the acknowledgment template at the top of your file. Submit your file with your user name in the title to Eureka before the deadline.

Chateau Petrus Vertical Collection
Ask any Bordeaux wine aficionado about Pomerol, and Chateau Petrus would undoubtedly be mentioned as an undisputed icon of the region — despite the fact that wines of the appellation have never been classified. Regarded for its rarity and prestige, the wine of Chateau Petrus is numbered among Bordeaux's greatest.
The winemaker at Chateau Petrus is Olivier Berrouet, who oversees the 11.4 hectare vineyard sited on a plateau in the eastern portion of the appellation. Sitting on soil high in iron-rich clay, the vineyard is planted to Merlot, with yields that are among the lowest in Bordeaux. Green harvesting is carried out to ensure concentration and maximum quality, with up to 50 per cent of the crop eliminated in more vigorous years.
As a consequence, the wine of Chateau Petrus is exceptionally rich, powerful, and bold, coupled with great complexity and depth. There are also characters of dark berry, chocolate, and spice. The wine's ageing potential is remarkable, as can be clearly witnessed in earlier vintages.
This vertical collection offers one bottle of each vintage beginning from 1945 — the year Moueix acquired exclusive selling rights — up to 2010, save for 1956, 1965, and 1991. Those were the years when Chateau Petrus did not produce any vintage.Read More

If you're not feeling in the creative mood, you can choose from the house specialities such as the Ball Park (beef chilli, cheese, tater tots) or the Posh Street Dog (bacon, caramelised red onion, ketchup, mustard). But it's the build-your-own option that is CanDogs real selling point. Get your bun, choose a filling of pork, beef, chicken or vegetarian then add whatever toppings you like. Any house dog, side and soda available from 11am - 2pm. Why not upgrade for an extra £2 and get a beer instead? Or double up for just £10, this includes 2 house dogs, side and a soda. Want some pulled pork on that beef sausage? No problem. Some smashed avocado on your chicken wiener? Sure thing. Only ever use British meat and it's all prime cuts – so none of the usual nose and tails (although the element of risk always felt to us like part of the hot dog appeal.)

Confronting Identity: The Community College Instructor.
Cohen, Arthur M.; Brawer, Florence B.
The lack of a clearly defined professional role for community college faculty reflects the fact that community colleges are rapidly growing institutions exhibiting multiple purposes. This book is addressed primarily to community college instructors and aims to define their professional role in terms of the effect of their teaching on their students. Seeing the identity of the teacher as an interaction between the institutional identity and the teacher's maturity, the authors first consider the college teacher in the perspective of modern theory of personality development. However, the teacher is both a person and a practitioner; the better he understands himself, the more his performance can benefit his students. A perspective that permits and invites self-development builds success, both for individuals and for institutions. By defining their professional identity in terms of bringing about changes in other people, community college faculty could direct the colleges toward being centers for instruction and student development, thus providing a clearer institutional identity. The book reviews the literature on teaching and instruction at the secondary and higher education levels for information relevant for community college faculty. A 14-page bibliography as well as a model of a teacher preparation course for junior college teachers is included. (Author/LP)

This makes up for the time she told
a random stranger in McDonald's:
"Guess what? My mom's havin' puppies!"
Happy Mother's Day to all of you moms out there, even the ones who don't have children, because we're all mothers to someone, somehow. (Why are you looking at me like that, Jennifer Lopez? It's not my fault your boyfriend doesn't even have pubes yet.)
And most of all, happy Mother's Day to my own mother. We'll be having lunch and probably knocking back a couple of glasses because what the hell, we've earned it. Isn't that right, Mom? Clink!
EDITOR'S NOTE: What about Tanning Mom? Do you wish her a Happy Mother's Day?
MY NOTE: Sure, why not? Send her a dozen long-stemmed melanomas in my name.
EDITOR'S NOTE: And Octomom?
MY NOTE: A dozen long-stemmed brownies.
EDITOR'S NOTE: And my mom?

Judith Trepp's Sculptures of Hard-Won Grace
|No. 1, 2015, stainless steel and car paint, 6.5 x 17.75 x 14 inches
John Kenneth Galbraith once observed how people would often commend him on the informal, conversational style of his writing. I thank them, he said, and then assure them that this breeziness is the spontaneous result of six or seven hard-fought drafts. This is what I thought of when I viewed images of Judith Trepp's new sculptures, whose evident fluidity and grace belie the fact that they were created using a 40-ton press to bend — that is, force — the stainless steel into the desired form.
I often wonder if an artist will be offended if I remark on the sheer beauty of a work. Well, I can't help myself here. These works are, as my wife remarked, simply gorgeous, and the soft colors harmonize with the stainless steel in a way that feels meant-to-be. That metal can be made so pleasing and inviting is something fun to contemplate.
Some modes of art reveal the processes of their creation. Consider Kerouac's "spontaneous bop prosody," which many critics said would have benefited from some — make that a lot — of editing. They were wrong, because that's not what he was going for. He was trying to reveal streams of consciousness. This is a big part of what abstract expressionism was about, and why it was also called "action painting." It revealed the act of creating. These aren't that. But this is not to say there isn't spontaneity involved. I think that in this kind of art the spontaneity occurs at inception. I know that Judith is concerned with bringing images forth from the unconscious. The only way that happens is through some form of intuition. However, once this emergence has happened, conscious effort and technique are required to create the "final" work of art.
Process note: While writing this I have been listening to a collection of Yehudi Menuhin performances. I trust that neither he nor the composer would be offended by the fact that I found the violinist's performance of Act III from Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake to be exceedingly beautiful.
(Please view these at Judith Trepp's website as well, since these images aren't reproducing here quite as well as they do there.)

The holidays are over, and I'm getting back to what passes for my normal life. So, since it's Tuesday, there's a new tutorial.
We're continuing the series about brushes in Photoshop CS4 that we started before the break.
First, I show you how to adjust the parameters for the Wacom stylus, to get maximum responsivity for the way your hand is working when you make the adjustments. Since this can change from day to day, it's not a bad idea to check this every day, or at least every time that the brush doesn't seem to be behaving the way you expect it to.
Then we go on to explore the various Scattering parameters. You'll learn what the Count is, how enabling Both Axes affects the Scattering, what Count Jitter does, and how the various Controls work to control the scatter and count jitter.
Hope you enjoy it!

Hey guy whats up. well I havent started on the Elemental Kings series yet, im still trying to figure out the basic concept for them.
But on the brighter side of things I wrote the end scene for Radien's story the other day (so excited.) Now im working on closing the gap from where I'm at and the end of the story. Then after I do that all thats left is to edit the chapters and then i will have my very first completed manuscript. (again so excited.) so but the end of the year I want to have started Adien's story like i said before I am really looking forward to writing his story I think. And to add to that I have Jaden's character to introduce you too...wait till you meet him.
Secondly I am proud to anounce that Bion and Anima have their own story coming as well. That i wrote some of the concept down for their book. I guessing this book will be a very big book because you see how Bion was created and see anima grow up and all that. I dont wanna give to much away before i start writing that book so thats all im telling you about for now.
But on a more personal note Sherrilyn Kenyon's Bad Moon Rising comes out tomorrow and i am so excited to get it. OMG i cant wait she is truely a great writer i love her dark hunter series and the dream and were hunters. but until next time. smuches
