There are already applications within the Power business that allow health and status monitoring of a power plant and its assets (i.e.- Operations Optimizer). There are also applications that enable asset modeling, or the ability to view the entire install base composition (i.e.- Power Digital Passport).
What is missing, however, is the ability to forecast potential gains from equipment additions and upgrades that GE offers within its product catalog. With the Alstom acquisition and the usage of Digital Twin, GE Power is in a position to provide balance-of-plant solutions to any customer.
What it does
This tool uses preexisting data (such as the data that lives in the Operations Optimizer application), as well as the install base. Digital Twin functionality is then utilized to replicate current operating scenarios on different equipment models, allowing identification of potential gains or losses on upgrades or replacements.
How I built it
We utilized the given timeseries Waukesha dataset as inspiration to visualize as-is performance and forecast to-be scenarios.
Using Predix microservices such as timeseries, we augmented the dataset to create multiple product lines to replicate Digital Twin scenarios.
In line with modern application architecture, we pushed two separate Predix applications: 1 client & 1 server. Each application is independent of the other and allows for full GE store capability.
What's next for Digital Power Plant Forecast
The digital power plant forecast will hopefully be integrated into the "killer apps" of the business, allowing for full integration of both asset health monitoring and full product line comparison.
Using the mobile-ready front end technologies that Predix provides, this application will be mobilized in order for different audiences (plant managers, customers, GE sales, etc.) to take advantage of its capability. Mobilization will be especially meaningful for those audiences on the floor.
By providing the integration into the GE store, this application can utilize historical trending and analysis to predict more accurate financial outcomes as a result of our growing product catalog.

Why You Should Update Your AC System To A High Seer
If your air conditioning system has been working efficiently for years, then you can consider yourself fortunate for having a unit that is proving to be worth the price. However, for all the work your AC unit has done over the years with the proper care and assistance, your dated air conditioner uses a lot of electricity to maintain your comfort temperature in your home. The result-a high energy bill. We usually find your older unit having a lower SEER rating as compared to newer air conditioning units.
What is SEER?
SEER is the Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio. SEER is used when measuring a central air conditioning system's efficiency. A higher SEER rating means greater efficiency. For example, a system with a 20 SEER rating will be two times more efficient than a system with a 10 SEER rating. Many HVAC manufacturers have taken great strides in increasing the efficiency of air conditioners and heat pumps over the last decade. We suggest seriously considering updating your AC unit to a higher SEER rating. The numerous benefits that come with this upgrade are hard to ignore. Let's take a closer look at some of the great things about getting new, high SEER AC system.
Energy savings
Since a high SEER AC system uses less energy, you can expect a lower utility bill at the end of the month. The savings ultimately depend on the difference in the SEER rating between your old and new unit. The difference in energy use will be reflected in your next utility bill!
Improved moisture removal
One of the indicators of an AC unit's effectiveness is its ability to remove moisture from the air. High SEER systems are particularly effective at moisture removal because they cycle longer at lower pressures. With longer cooling cycles, there would be far fewer opportunities for mold and other humidity-related issues to be active because moisture is effectively removed from the air.
High SEER AC systems are more energy-efficient, and that means having one installed in your home helps reduce your carbon footprint. Aside from having a higher SEER, newer air conditioners also use safer refrigerants, making the installation of a new, high SEER AC unit one of the more eco-friendly things you can do.
Future buyers will go for a high SEER system
In a world where people are becoming more conscious about helping the environment, a high SEER AC unit in your home can become a unique selling point when the time comes for you to sell it. Your efficient air conditioning system in the Niceville, Florida area will definitely attract more potential buyers and may increase the value of the home. There is great value in replacing your old AC unit with a new one. The fact that entry-level models of newly-manufactured air conditioners are now much more efficient than standard models of older units should be enough reason for you to update your AC unit.
Contact Gulfshore Air
Remember, however, that the SEER rating is only one factor in determining how energy-efficient your AC use can get in general. Proper installation of your AC system is a crucial factor, and so is its maintenance. Call us at Gulfshore Air for more information on installation, maintenance, or any other HVAC related questions. We have served the Niceville area, as well as much of the Emerald Coast, for over 20 years, and we are more than excited to hear from you! Call 850-897-6540 or visit www.gulfshoreair.com.

Appex Corporation Case Study
Autor: vivekiimc02 • October 12, 2015 • Case Study • 1,626 Words (7 Pages) • 6,848 Views
Appex Corporation Case Write Up
What were the challenges Shikhar Ghosh faced when he joined Appex?
Appex Corporation was a rapidly growing business, with increasing employee strength and added project work. It had initially begun as a startup and transformed into an organization which needed a proper well-defined organizational structure. Shikhar Ghosh was recruited by Appex's investors to provide the crucially needed control and structure to the organization. Major early issues recognized by Ghosh were
- Ghosh realized that the atmosphere at Appex had changed from "entrepreneurial" to chaotic because of structural issues due to quick expansion of Appex.
- Long term goals were not addressed and there was lack of financial planning. Many tasks were addressed on daily basis when they became critical.
- Customers were dissatisfied due to lack of technical assistance when required.
- Information flow among team members had become difficult, for e.g. two developers were unaware about the work each was doing.
- There was lack of project orientation and looseness. Further, unclear responsibility and accountability had made the functioning of Appex unproductive.
- To provide a well organizational structure to Appex, Ghosh applied innovative organizational structures he had been exposed to at BCG. However, most of these innovative structures did not sustain practically and had to be altered.
- The initial iteration of structures, namely circular and horizontal, was not able to achieve the desired results, as most of the employees could not relate to them or were not willing to accept.
Evaluate the importance of each of the structural changes Shikhar Ghosh implemented. How important were they? What problems did each new structure address? What problems, in turn, did it create?
Organizational Structure
Problems Addressed
Problems Created
Circular Structure
To create non-hierarchical organization where there is continuous & free flow of information within the organization & with the customers.
Horizontal Structure
It was a non-hierarchical structure in which employees could fit themselves
Functional teams
It was a more broadly classified structure with clearly defined functions & division of teams which had better hierarchy & flow of authority.
Product Teams
The structure was made more product centric with product team managers assigned with the role of writing business plans for the products & integrating the functions.
Business Teams
Business teams included representatives from senior management & had the authority to make decisions including those related to resource allocation & products.
Divisional Structure
Appex's product could be divided into one of these two businesses. A separate Operations division could service both the businesses with utility functions.
What would you have done in Shikhar's place?
The most pertinent issue in the implementation of multiple structures over a course of 3 years was that Shikhar kept on changing the structure of the organization at such a rapid pace that he did not provide enough time to observe the long-term effects of the changes. Change is always welcomed with resistance. The same happened in the case of Appex Corp as well. However, Shikhar could have done better by keeping a particular structure in place for a substantial amount of time to understand if the employees were finally getting to accept it bit by bit. Rather than keeping a very flat structure, which invited complacency or a very hierarchical structure, which polarized the teams, he should have assigned authority and control to respective managers and senior executives first. A divisional structure would have been a better starting point. After having implemented the changes, he should have kept maintained the structure for a substantial amount of time to gather feedback from the employees for the next wave of change. He could then have discussed job rotation, incentives and funding requests for projects with the division heads while communicating the implications of the same to the employees and registering their responses.

User story is one or more sentences that captures what a user does or needs to do as part of his job function. User stories are used with agile software development methodologies as the basis for defining the functions a business system must provide, and to facilitate requirements management. It captures the 'who', 'what' and 'why' of a requirement in a simple, concise way.
User stories are a quick way of handling customer requirements without having to create formalized requirement documents and without performing administrative tasks related to maintaining them. (Source: WikiPedia)
Some of this article's listed sources may not be reliable. (August 2017)
In software development and product management, a user story is an informal, natural language description of features of a software system. They are written from the perspective of an end user or user of a system, and may be recorded on index cards, Post-it notes, or digitally in project management software. Depending on the project, user stories may be written by different stakeholders like client, user, manager, or development team.
User stories are a type of boundary object. They facilitate sensemaking and communication; and may help software teams document their understanding of the system and its context.

New research has revealed the deep sea, off of New Zealand to be more biodiverse than previously thought.
The expedition, led by Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitaet (LMU) geobiologist Gert Wörheide discovered six new species of glass sponge.
"Our expedition discovered that the deep sea off the coast of New Zealand is considerably more species rich than previously known. In the context of plans to expand deep-sea mining and deep-sea fishing, these findings provide an important set of data that can aid efforts to protect these very special habitats."Gert Wörheide, Geobiologist at LMU

Great job to all involved in this. A great weekend for a great cause.
- Home
- Theme Parks
- Walt Disney World
- SeaWorld
- Sport
- Vacation Tips
- Entertainment
- Business
This years Hearts of Reality event wrapped up in the early hours of Sunday morning as over 100 stars of reality TV partied the night away at Celebration Town Tavern after a hectic 48 hours of events.
Stars from "Survivor", "Big Brother", "The Amazing Race" and various other shows all came together for the event that started on Thursday and ran through to the early hours of Saturday morning. The event began last Thursday at the VIP Sponsor event and it was a chance for the stars to meet up with some old friends and meet some new.
A bright start on Friday morning saw the group head over to Wild Florida and a chance to see the more natural side of Central Florida as well as take in an airboat ride. The 4200 acre wildlife conservation area offers an array of fun for the whole family beautifully preserved just as nature intended. It's a chance to experience natural streams, forests, pastures, wetlands and learn about the wide array of Wild Florida's wildlife including bald eagles, deer, cows, boars, turkey, alligators and more. It's the other side of Central Florida… away from the theme parks.
The main reason for the event though, came on Friday evening as everyone made the short trip to the "Give Kids The World" village. Today, the Village is a 70-acre resort complete with over 140 Villa accommodations, entertainment attractions, whimsical venues, and fun specifically designed for children with special needs. It largely runs with the help of many generous individuals, corporations and partnering wish-granting organizations and Give Kids The World has now welcomed more than 122,000 families from all 50 states and over 74 countries.
Saturday saw the main event of the weekend as all the stars sat down for four hours to meet and greet fans as well as sign autographs and take photos. For a small fee donated to Give Kids The World, guests could get to meet every one of the 100+ reality TV stars and enjoy a few minutes in their company. This was the fifth year of the event and it truly was a fun and wonderful occasion for all concerned. It didn't finish there though, and after the autograph session everyone made their way to the Celebration Town Tavern for a huge Land Lovers Luau celebration that went onto the early hours of Sunday morning.
At last count, the event has raised over $50,000 to help Give Kids The World and when everything is said and done, that number will probably be in excess of $60,000 when all the money has been turned in. We have more photos available at www.FloridaLeisurePhotography.com and every penny raised from our gallery will also be donated to Give Kids The World.
In closing, I'd just like to thank everyone for coming out to benefit a truly wonderful charity. It's simply marvelous how all the stars turn out year after year and give something back to those less fortunate. I'd also like to thank Michael Nunez and his team for organizing the event and to say it has been a privilege to be there to capture all of it. Already looking forward to next year and a chance to do it all over again!

06/2019: New book published: Motet Cycles between Devotion and Liturgy
Our new book Motet Cycles Between Devotion and Liturgy has been published by Schwabe Verlag. Click here to view it on the publisher's website.
This book explores the corpus of motet cycles composed and disseminated in manuscript and printed sources of polyphony ca. 1470–ca. 1510, including works by Loyset Compère, Gaspar van Weerbeke, and Franchinus Gaffurius. In doing so, it tackles some of the most essential and stimulating issues of late medieval and Renaissance music, clustering around the role of sacred polyphony in the interaction between devotion and liturgy. The different chapters, organized in four sections, cover topics ranging from the relationship between ritual and cycles to the "shape and sound of prayer texts", revisit the problematic association between Milan, motetti missales and Josquin, and offer a series of case studies approached from an interdisciplinary perspective. By addressing issues of textual and musical design, function, and performance, the book illuminates this fascinating repertory and the rich devotional and cultural context in which it flourished.
Contributors: Clare Bokulich, Felix Diergarten, Eva Ferro, Daniele V. Filippi, Marco Gozzi, Andrew Kirkman, Robert Nosow, Agnese Pavanello, Joshua Rifkin, Francesco Rocco Rossi, Fañch Thoraval, Hana Vlhová-Wörner.

Pablo Escobar's former lover Virginia Vallejo might sue Colombian television network Caracol because producers of a series based on the late drug lord's life never received permission to include her as a character.
Seeing as her character is a very important part of Pablo Escobar's story, Caracol decided to incorporate Vallejo's character under the name of "Regina Parejo" played by Angie Cepeda. The series, entitled "Pablo Escobar: The Boss of Evil," premiered in late May, breaking Colombian television records.
Although Colombia Reports was unable to contact Vallejo to confirm the rumors, several local media sources reported that Escobar's former love interest is searching for an attorney to represent her after Abelardo De la Espriella, a well-known attorney, refused to take her case.
In an interview, De la Espriella explained that he would not represent Vallejo because "she testified against my friend Alberto Santofimio, in such a way that I can't assist a person who has declared herself an enemy to someone I know and appreciate."
Santofimio is a former minister that was convicted of masterminding the 1989 assassination of fellow presidential candidate, Luis Carlos Galan in 2007. His conviction was overturned a year later for lack of material evidence. In August 2011, Supreme Court judges decided to ratify the original decision, sending Santofimio back to jail not only for the murder of Galan, but also for two others who were killed at the same time.
A former drug trafficker testified that Santofimio asked Escobar's Medellin Cartel to facilitate the murder, claiming that the drug kingpin would be extradited to the U.S. if Galan was elected president.
Colombia's Supreme Court rejected another appeal from Santofimio's legal team in March. His lawyers said that his initial conviction should be thrown out because, as an elected political official, Santifimio should have been tried by the Supreme Court instead of the High Court of Cundinamarca.

Movie with Abe: The Dark Divide
Directed by Tom Putnam
Released September 18, 2020 (Virtual Cinema)
There are a number of reasons that people take on challenging assignments. In some cases, they may have no choice and are required to do so by an employer or because they know that no one else will do it. In others, it involves a personal penance of sorts or a need to isolate from the world and focus on something that will prove truly immersive. Making a solitary journey that involves tremendous physical labor and emotional strength is not easy, and the notion of undertaking something of that magnitude can be quite daunting and intimidating.
Robert Pyle (David Cross) is a renowned butterfly expert always on the verge of writing his next book. His dying wife Thea (Debra Messing), who creates illustrations to accompany his work, is not content with him simply sitting around and waiting for inspiration to strike. Robert sets out with a Guggenheim Fellowship and an optimistic attitude for the Gifford Pinchot National Forest in Washington, ready to traverse its vast space to find and study a new butterfly species. Locals balk at his lack of experience camping and surviving in the outdoors, but he is determined to make it through and come out reinvigorated.
This film is immediately reminiscent of recent films like "Wild" and "The Way," which find characters taking on long, laborious treks to connect with themselves and those that they have lost. This film has a more upbeat, adventurous spirit, one that finds Robert gleefully unprepared for much of what he meets, far more prepared to lecture someone on their problematic behavior than to outrun any of the animals he might encounter on his journey. Based on the true story of Robert's 1995 expedition and his subsequent book, "Where Bigfoot Walks: Crossing the Dark Divide," this film emphasizes the human side of Robert's exploration, offering lower stakes than similar projects which might see their protagonists fighting for their lives against the terrifying natural forces conjured up by this film's title, the name for the area Robert sets out to chart.
Cross is an actor primarily known for comedy, but he is definitely a strong and effective choice to play Robert, whose social skills do not match his scientific expertise. His style of speaking and mannerisms help make Robert a gradually endearing character whose behavior doesn't always evoke sympathy and who audiences can relate to as someone in way over his head in his desire to achieve a theoretically manageable task in a wildly unpredictable environment. Cross carries the film in conjunction with its soaring imagery, presenting beauty that makes the best case for the film's quieter moments as its most potent. Though this film doesn't feel wildly original, its story is told and showcased in a sufficient and mostly engaging manner.

Nashville, Tennessee. Say those words, and what comes to mind? A vibrant music scene, perhaps? You're not wrong. Known as the "Music City", Nashville is home to some of the best live music in the world – and some of it's free! That there's a rich musical culture in Nashville goes without saying, and if you're planning a visit, you're in for a treat.
As great as the music scene is, Nashville also has a few other tricks up her sleeve – including some free and fun activities you can do with your kids. If you're heading that way and looking to keep costs down, you're in the right place. Keep reading to discover the myriad of free things to do in Nashville.
Free Stuff to Do in Nashville for the Music Lover
We'll start with the obvious. When it comes to fun free things to do in Nashville, you can't leave out the music scene. After all, it is the city's claim to fame. Here are some of our favorites:
Honky Tonk Highway
Honky Tonk Highway is a famous stretch of street lined with bars located in the historic Broadway district of Nashville. These bars all feature live music, and all offer free cover. (Although it is good etiquette to tip the performer before you leave). Visit in the afternoon with the family, or enjoy a more adult experience later on.
Music City July 4th
If you're lucky enough to be in Nashville for Independence Day, you'll love the free Music City July 4th celebration. Think live music, fireworks, games, food vendors – the works! This year's star-studded line-up includes Lady Antebellum, Chris Janson, Lucie Silvas, Shannon Sanders, and the Nashville Symphony. Where else could you see performers like that for free?
CMA Music Festival
The CMA Music Festival is an annual June event featuring live country music on 11 stages in downtown Nashville. To say it's a big deal is an understatement – the festival typically includes more than 350 country music artists and an audience of 90,000 or more. Check out the list of recent 2018 performers here. You'll need to buy a ticket for the big performances, but many of the daytime activities are free.
Music City Walk of Fame
Take a stroll and find your favorite musicians' star and guitar on the Music City Walk of Fame. This iconic piece of music history can be found on Nashville's Music Mile, across the street from the Country Music Hall of Fame.
Nashville Symphony Community Concerts
Nashville is famous for its country music, but it's not the only genre in town. During June and July, the Nashville Symphony offers free community concerts. These are often held in local parks and are a great opportunity to take in a high-quality musical performance at zero cost.
Live on the Green
Do you love live music? Do you love free live music? If so, you'll want to check out the Live on the Green Music Festival. It takes place Thursday nights in August and September, and general admission is free. Check out the 2018 line-up here.
Bluebird Café
Last but not least! If you've been planning a Nashville trip, you've probably heard of the Bluebird Café. It's famous for its exceptional live shows and great food. While food and drinks aren't free, some of the shows are, including most the early evening shows.
As you might expect, these shows are among the most popular free things to do in Nashville. Tables fill up fast, so make sure you reserve in advance. (A $3 reservation fee applies).
Free Things to Do in Nashville: Parks
Looking to enjoy a beautiful day outside? Spending an afternoon in one of the many parks is one of the nicest free things to do in Nashville. It's also family-friendly.
Centennial Park
Located in the heart of Nashville, Centennial Park is a beautiful place to have a picnic, take a stroll, or go for a bike ride. Throughout the summer, you can catch different performances and events hosted in the park. Saturday nights, check out the big band dances hosted at the event shelter near the back of the park. They include live performances and free dance lessons!
The Parthenon
Think of the Parthenon as the centerpiece of Centennial Park. It's a replica of the building of the same name in ancient Athens, Greece. It also includes a 42-foot statue of Athena, just as the real Parthenon did. You can take in the Parthenon's majesty from the outside for free. The architecture is beautiful, and it's a great place to get pictures. For just $6, you can tour the inside, too.
The Warner Park Nature Center
Warner Parks itself is another lovely location for walking, biking, picnicking, golfing, etc. The Warner Park Nature Center is something extra the whole family can enjoy. Admission is free, as are their various programs. The Nature Center included hiking trails, a natural history museum, bird feeding stations, gardens/greenhouses, a teaching pond, and lots of opportunities to view wildlife. Check out their 2018 summer program schedule here.
Riverfront Park
This downtown Nashville park features artwork and an amphitheater – that means concerts. During the summer, pop in and enjoy a free outdoor show. Even if no one's playing, it's a nice place to take a break from your typical downtown activities.
Spend a Rainy Day in One of Nashville's Free Museums
Tennessee Agricultural Museum
This gem located in the Ellington Agricultural Center features farming artifacts from the 18 and 1900s. It's closed for renovations until mid-summer 2018, but its new and improved setup will be worth checking out for anyone interested in the history of farming. Self-guided tours are always free.
Grand Ole Opry Museum
The Grand Ole Opry House is an iconic venue for live country music. Alas, its shows are not free. Silver lining: The Grand Ole Opry Museum, just across from the music venue, is. Take a trip back in time while checking out memorabilia from your favorite country music legends.
Browse Nashville's Unique Shopping Venues
Ok, we know shopping isn't exactly free. But Nashville offers a couple of shopping experiences that are fun even if you don't buy anything.
Nashville Flea Market
Touted as one of the best in the country, the Nashville Flea Market has been operating for nearly 60 years. It's held at the Fairgrounds once a month, and typically includes 2000 booths from 800-1200 vendors. You could absolutely spend an afternoon browsing the selection. Even if you don't buy anything, you're sure to have a great time. (But we can't guarantee you won't be tempted to buy something).
The Arcade
Visiting the Arcade is more about taking in the Architecture than it is about shopping. The two-story building was built in 1902 and is modeled after an Italian structure. It's home to art galleries, shops, and restaurants. We recommend taking a walk through even if you don't have a shopping agenda because the building itself is just so lovely.

Once you reach level 15, you can either participate in the Final Selection to become a Demon Slayer or choose to become a Demon. In this guide, all the steps required to become a Demon Slayer in Project Slayers
How to Become a Demon Slayer (Step-by-Step)
Reach Level 15
This is a quite easy requirement, even if it requires a bit of grinding early on. One of the simplest ways to reach level 15 fast is to repeat Somi's questline in Kiribating Village (Defeat 5 of Zuko's subordinates, Defeat two subordinates while carrying Riyaku, Defeat Zuko).
These three quests will reward with plenty of EXP and they can be completed really fast, without much traveling involved.

You will also receive a Kusugai Crow, which will appear in your HotBar. Clicking on the crow icon will give you quests to complete as a Demon Slayer.

University of Sussex, Brighton, UK
How might we go about the analysis of musical works (algorithmic compositions, or more fashionably, generative pieces) which are designed to vary with each run, even without any online interactive facility? This paper shall consider some of the issues and make a cautious start at providing some analytic methodology, which I hope that in the context of a conference, we might profitably discuss! I mean to tackle, not necessarily large-scale essentially deterministic and ambient works (like much of Brian Eno's earlier work pre-Koan or Jem Finer's LongPlayer, founded on isorhythmic layers) but programs which can vary their output each time they are started. These works might be represented by those in 'The Algorithmic Stream' or rand()% streaming algorithmic radio stations, Karlheinz Essl's Lexicon Sonate (even in its non-interactive version), my own (over-enthusiastically dubbed) Infinite-Length Pieces (Collins 2002) or indeed, algorithmic artworks in the form of programs produced for various computer music systems from PD to CLM to the SuperCollider demo examples.

I love how when someone starts following you on Craftsy they send you an email telling you that the person has been inspired by you. Â It's cute and gives me a warm fuzzy feeling. Â I've had barely any time to explore Craftsy, but I'm pretty excited about the possibilities for tatters. Â It's still relatively new and so I feel like if we can get a lot of tatters to join we can get a bit of attention for tatting. Â I'm on Ralvery because I'd like to learn to knit and I used to crochet, but they are pretty adamant about being ONLY for knitting and crocheting and making it very clear they have no plans to expand to other fiber crafts. Â Craftsy looks like it could be the substitute. Â Right now tatting is still only in the "other" category, but if we all join up maybe we can get them to give it it's own category.
I'm also very excited about being able to sell patterns there with an automatic download for the buyer so they don't have to wait for me to send them an email. Â I had someone buy my pattern book yesterday and it threw me off to only get an email about payment and not one about fulfillment of the order. Â I like it though.
This is the last week of my masters degree so I'm basically living in a world of research papers about GAAP, IFRS other exciting accounting regulations. Â I probably won't be able to do a lot of tatting this week, but I have a bunch of things I haven't gotten around to posting from the last couple weeks, so I plan to post about those.

Facebook's 'Expected: Child' status: Oversharing?
In a hotly debated move, the social networking giant now lets users list an unborn child as a "family member"
A free daily digest of the biggest news stories of the day - and the best features from our website

Last week, Facebook quietly rolled out a new feature: Expectant parents can now list their pregnancy status alongside other personal information such as relationship status and employer. In an intriguing move that has courted controversy and has the tech world buzzing, users can now modify their profiles' "Friends and Family" section to list an "expected: child" as a family member and even list the imminent baby's proposed name and due date. Is this a worthwhile new feature or a problematic over-share?
This puts a wonderful emphasis on unborn life: Facebook should be applauded for this new feature, says Penny Nance, the President and CEO of the anti-abortion group Concerned Women for America, as quoted at The Daily Caller. It acknowledges that the fetus, "although not yet born" is "already a member of a family." Sure, it's likely to rankle pro-abortion rights groups like Planned Parenthood, but I think it's commendable to acknowledge an unborn child as a person.

This might be unwise: This feature would become tragically awkward if the mother-to-be miscarries, says Jamie Frevele at The Mary Sue. We've all seen the thorny issues that Facebook relationship statuses bring up when romance fails, but this would be far worse. Potentially hundreds of so-called "friends" could wind up knowing that the couple in question lost the child. When expecting, it's best "to be extremely cautious and/or patient" before announcing the news on Facebook.
"You can now announce your pregnancy on Facebook. If you really want to."
Yes, proceed with care: Expectant parents should review exactly who is in their Facebook network before using this feature, says Emil Protalinski at ZDNet. "It would be unwise to tell an employer the news at the same time as everyone else," and it's probably best to tell friends and family the big news personally before changing your Facebook status.
"Facebook adds 'Expected: Child' option for parents-to-be"
But hey, it makes business sense for Facebook: "Call us cynics, but this is a great move for Facebook on a financial basis alone," says Jolie O'Dell at VentureBeat. "Parents and parents-to-be are perfect targets for brands and advertisers," and with this feature, Facebook is tapping into a valuable demographic that advertisers are desperate to reach. Still, potential users should ask themselves if "they really want to get bombarded with ads for Similac and $800 strollers."
"Facebook adds pregnancy profile option; let the ads begin!"

UNRWA has strongly condemned the recent Israeli shelling of one of its schools serving as a shelter for hundreds of displaced Palestinians, in central Gaza. The UN Human Rights Council has launched a probe into Israel's actions in the region.'At approximately 16:55 hours Tuesday, UNRWA's Maghazi Preparatory Girls School, in the Maghazi refugee camp where approximately 300 internally displaced people had sought refuge was struck by explosive ordnance believed to have been fired by Israeli forces. One person, a child, was injured in the shelling incident. We have raised this shelling incident with the Israeli authorities,' said UNRWA in a press release published by WAFA Palestinian News & Info Agency.
'This morning, when UNRWA officials went back to investigate the incident, there was further shelling of the school, seriously endangering the lives of UN humanitarian workers and displaced civilians. This second incident took place at approximately 10:29 hours this morning and was 30 minutes inside the 09:00 to 11:00 hours window of time that had been coordinated with Israeli authorities and the UN to allow freedom of movement for the relevant UN personnel through the Maghzi Camp Area.'
Pierre Krähenbühl, Commissioner-General of UNRWA, is reported to have said: 'This is a serious violation of United Nations' premises that could have had far-reaching human consequences. All UNRWA facilities are clearly marked with a UN flag. The location of the school and the fact that it was housing internally displaced persons had been formally communicated to Israel on three separate occasions. We have called on the Israeli authorities to carry out an immediate and comprehensive investigation.'
Furthermore, director of UNRWA Operations Robert Turner said: 'Our teams are already working flat out to meet the huge demand created by this escalation in violence, and it is absolutely critical that all parties to the conflict respect the neutrality and inviolability of our premises. Operating in this challenging environment is difficult enough; we need to be assured that staff and beneficiaries can enjoy safety and security within our premises. Civilian lives must not be put at further risk.'
According to WAFA's report, UNRWA schools are now essentially serving as IDP camps, addressing the needs of some 118,000 internally displaced people who have taken refuge in 77 of the Agency's schools throughout the Gaza Strip.
This number has increased from 50,000 only two days ago, WAFA stated.
As of January 2014, there were approximately 5.4 million Palestinian people registered as refugees in various parts of the world, by UNRWA's count. Palestinians now make up the largest refugee group in the entire world, and the numbers are increasing daily, in alarming increments.
The UN Human Rights Council has launched a probe into the Israeli offensive on the Gaza Strip, supporting Palestinian efforts to hold Israel up to international scrutiny, according to Ma'an News Agency.
The council of 46 backed a Palestinian-drafted resolution by 29 votes. Arab and fellow Muslim countries, joined by Latin American and African nations, along with Russia and China which, incidentally, also has a large Muslim population, were among supporting nations.
The United States again played out its typical role of voting against UN resolutions which hold Israel accountable for it gross violations of international human rights and laws, while European countries abstained in the voting.
Turkish EU Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu recently denounced Western nations and those of the Muslim world for their silence over Israel's ongoing assault on the Gaza Strip which has, so far, claimed nearly 700 lives — mostly civilians — including entire families of men, women, infants, small children, elderly and disabled, as soldiers target homes, municipal facilites, hospitals, mosques …and, now, again, schools.
Thirty-one Israelis, all but two of them soldiers, have also died in the fighting, according to Ma'an, in addition to a foreign civilian worker who died Wednesday after being hit by mortar fire, while serving food to soldiers in southern Israel.
Tens of thousands of Palestinian supporters have gathered, in recent days, to take part in mass demonstrations, across the globe, against the Israeli military's ongoing and merciless assault on the Gaza Strip.

Tassomai is a quiz-based revision tool for GCSE science, tailored to each student's ability and knowledge, allowing them to focus on their weaker areas of the syllabus. The Stonehenge School provided years 10 and 11 with the package, for use within and outside of school. Students aim to use the motivating program each day for 20-30 minutes to consolidate their knowledge through spacing and interleaving of the GCSE content, building their confidence before the exams.
Teachers monitor the usage of all students to see how regularly they are using it, and how many questions they have answered correctly. Continually updated diagnostic information is created for each aspect of the course for each student, allowing teachers to inform future teaching and easily see where intervention is needed. Used as a homework and diagnostic tool, it saves teachers substantial amounts of time in terms of planning and assessment.
The impact has been a positive change in attitudes to science revision and rapid improvement in the science grades achieved by students. Where previously the school's science results were in the bottom 20% of the country, using Tassomai has increased attainment and progress to create results that are in the top 20% nationally.

As always with political posts, the Mallet is out: Please be polite with each other.
Also remember I have my "Right Wing Bullshit Talking Points BINGO Card" out, and, yes, "Socialism" is the free space in the middle. If your post fills up too many squares, I might Mallet it for trying to gallop through as many BS talking points rather than actually being an instrument of conversation.
Also also, ageist, sexist, racist and otherwise bigoted bullshit is very likely get the Mallet. You know this (it's in the site's comment policy!), but it's always good to remind folks.
Also also also, yes, I'm aware that "100 Days" is a totally arbitrary benchmark. On the other hand Biden and his administration (among others) worked to get specific things done within that timeframe, so, maybe a little less than absolutely entirely arbitrary this time around.

Head of Communication – Racket Club
We met up with Marcus Egholm, Head of communication of Racket Club at their newly opened padel center "Terminalerne" for a talk. Get to know him better and hear about why Racket Club have been successfully pioneering the sport in Denmark.
Article and project: Marco Strom Braskov
Published: 05/01 2022
Theme: The Lindbergh Community
"I was born and raised just outside Copenhagen, and have been living in Copenhagen for the past 10 years - the last four in Nørrebro with my girlfriend. I enjoy being creative and finding unique solutions to the problems of today.
At Racket Club you can experience how powerful sports can be as a conduit of creating unique social experiences. We work towards making padel a bread and butter sports choice in Denmark, and by doing so we aim at creating an environment where players on all levels can enjoy the sport on their own premises.
Padel is a quite new sport in Denmark, meaning that basically everything we do is done for somewhat "the first time". I am highly motivated by creating something unique that presents an immediate value for the user.
The goal is to spread the word and the love of padel! We want to offer high quality products, services, support and experiences in all of our venues and the goal for the future is to set up a system that will make this happen. With that being said the goal is of course to have fun - if the people behind Racket Club don't have fun it'll be pretty damn difficult to create and environment tailored for fun and joyous experiences!"
