text: If you're anything like me, in the past couple of years you've begun to see more and more vendor pitches that talk about the "consumerisation of IT" in their setup. This, just in case you didn't know, is the idea that whereas IT innovation used to be driven primarily by the requirements and interests of business \u2013 with the IT available to the general population being significantly less sophisticated \u2013 in the past decade the tables have been turned. Now it's consumer IT driving change and new possibilities.\nSo far, so good: it's indisputable that it's consumer-facing technologies that are making the running today. The IT systems that most of us are faced with when we're at work tend to be a lot less easy to use than the ones providing consumer services, for one thing. And then there's the "Google effect": why is that using Google (or any other popular Web search engine) you can get answers to almost any question in two seconds, but it can take two weeks to get a new kind of sales report from your ERP system?\nThe pitch I (and probably you) hear increasingly often starts something like this: "You should really take account of the consumerisation of IT: the new technologies and design practices now popular in the consumer technology world represent a fundamental improvement in the user-friendliness of systems. You should really consider how users can interact with your systems, because the chances are there are now better ways to make systems easy to use."\nNow this is all very well, but if you're a supplier then as a pitch it has a small problem: there's no urgency in it. If you're a trying to sell technology or services that re-jig how users interact with systems, there's nothing in this pitch so far that is likely to compel people to make an investment any time soon.\nAnd so the spectre of 'Generation Y' is invoked. The pitch about consumerisation of IT continues something like this: "What's more, the new generation entering the workforce has grown up immersed in these new technologies: and they won't stand for 20th-century ways of working with business systems. If you don't change the way you allow people to interact with systems, you won't be able to hire or retain bright young workers."\nJust one example of this invocation came from an article right here at CIO UK by Bryan Cruickshank of KPMG. In this article ("How to manage the consumerisation of business IT"), he said "the next generation of graduate intakes, raised on social media, will see email as an increasingly foreign technology. CIOs would be wise to take notice."\nThis is a seductive thought, but I just don't buy it. I think it's lazy and has little basis in reality. And perhaps I'm not the only one.\nRecently Forrester Research publicised the results of a significant study \u2013 reported on here looking at how workers of different ages feel about their working environment and the technology they use at work. The received wisdom is that Generation Y is a horde of barbarians at the gate, waiting to disrupt the way enterprise IT systems are delivered. The study goes a way to debunking this: it shows that Generation Y are still broadly happy with the technology that they use at work, and that they're not significantly more likely to bring their own technology to work than workers of any other generation.\nWhen I was a teenager I loved to play RPGs (yes I was a geek). I had friends who were passionate about skateboarding and listening to the Beastie Boys. When I started work I didn't expect to be able to play Dungeons and Dragons at my desk; my friends didn't expect to be able to blast "Fight for your right (to party)" from boomboxes on their desks or skateboard in the corridors. Generation Y might love to spend time Facebooking, but I'm just not convinced that this means they're going to demand that the IT systems they work with look like Facebook.\nIn any case, are Generation Y really any different from the generations that have gone before in the recent past? In a 2007 article on this topic ("Generation Y: Love them or lose them"), Deborah Gilburg reviews some of the literature about Generation Y:\n"There's been a lot of talk recently about Generation Y. Its members, born between 1982 and 2005, are known for their sense of entitlement, outspokenness, inability to take criticism, and technological sophistication. Fortune deemed Generation Y in its May 28, 2007, issue the most high-maintenance, yet potentially most high-performing generation in history because its members are entering the workplace with more information, greater technological skill and higher expectations of themselves and others than prior generations. In addition, Time described members of Generation Y in its July 16, 2007, issue as wanting the kind of life balance where every minute has meaning. They don't want to be slaves to their jobs the way their Baby Boomer parents are."\nI don't know about you, but when I was a young adult I wanted every minute of my life to have meaning too! I was self-absorbed, narcissistic and impatient. Outspokenness, inability to take criticism and a sense of entitlement are characteristics of young people \u2013 and have been for 40-50 years. Now I'm older I hope those characteristics have lessened, and I believe there's no reason to expect things to be different when Generation Y workers take on management positions.\nLastly \u2013 even if we take the position that Generation Y are going to be big disruptors within organisations, I seriously doubt that the impact they bring to bear will be felt on a large scale for another five-10 years. It's only when they get into positions of senior management and influence that the impact will really be felt.\nTo sum things up, I have no problem at all with the assertion that the consumerisation of IT is real and that it will (and should) have an impact on the way people within organisations interact with business IT systems and with each other. When it comes to talk about the pressure we're placed under by Generation Y, though, I think it makes sense to tread very carefully and keep things in perspective. There's a natural tendency for those of older generations to be fearful of the potential and power of younger generations, and I worry that the invocation of the spectre of Generation Y is playing to that in a negative way.\nDo you think that the impact of Generation Y's desires over enterprise IT are overstated, or do you think I'm missing the point? I'd love to hear your point of view.

As it has for all businesses, groups and individuals across the globe, the current coronavirus pandemic is impacting the operation of residential colleges, such as UC. All of us within the college community are being called on to be exceptional in the face of exceptional circumstances. At a time in the semester when students would normally have been planning their last social outings before the Easter break, many instead returned home to be with loved ones. The residents and staff that remain at college are adapting their behaviours to maximise the health and safety of all. While physical distancing may be a way of life, for now, social separation certainly is not, and the UC community in fact remains as strong as it's ever been, thanks to the hard work of college leaders and strength of spirit shown by our staff and students.
Together, Apart
As universities have largely transitioned online, UC has remained on top of the curve, while working to 'flatten the curve' of COVID-19, by introducing digital tutorials, consults and mentor meetings. This has meant that all regular academic and pastoral-care activities have been maintained online, or even extended, during a time when connection is needed more than ever. No matter where they are in the world, UC students can still access the educational and wellbeing support they need, while remaining engaged with the college community.
In addition to these online services, regular college operations on the ground are constantly being revised to meet the challenges of the situation, including increased cleaning and sanitisation of college facilities, adjustments to food distribution and the implementation of responsible social distancing protocols.
'Whatever you do, do with a will': Student Community Initiatives
College community leaders have also been busy innovating and have launched a new program of online community activities. While traditional High Table dinners in the dining hall are no longer possible, Student Club President, Jake Vernon Elliot, and Vice-President, Kathryn Hutchins, are keeping students up to date with college business through virtual High Table announcements, where they reveal a fun new challenge for students to get involved in every week. UC Snaps, a favourite college activity in which students recognise their peers' good deeds by submitting anonymous compliments which are publicly shared at High Tables, have also transitioned online and continue to acknowledge community achievements while spreading positivity.
Students are being encouraged to interact directly with one another via online platforms and to get creative by making content to share with the college community. Group activities such as movie nights and bake-offs are being organised via zoom, so that students can still enjoy shared pursuits while maintaining a physical distance. Collaborative playlists have also been set up so that UC students can share their favourite music with one another, just as they would in the Junior Common Room. To encourage everyone to stay active during this time, the 2020 Sports Representatives have also been working incredibly hard to produce a series of boot camp-style exercise videos, which have become a huge hit with all members of the UC community, including the resident tutors!
The New Normal
Of course all of these incredible innovations and novel initiatives are creating an experience which is quite different to the college life we've grown used to, but that is precisely the point. In the coming months, we all need to make big changes so that we can weather this storm together, even if we have to be apart in the process. We must recognise that our normal ways of living will have to adjust to a 'new normal' way of living. More than anything, these new measures reflect the strength and tenacity of the college community, which we are so lucky to be a part of in a time when community spirit is needed more than ever. So, while we can no longer embrace each other, together we can embrace the new normal.

Everyone wants the Celtics trade assets but few have the kind of star that will demand the Nets picks. So smaller deals may require differet trade assets. The Celtics also have future picks from the Clippers and Griz as well as their own future picks. That isn't the end of their stash though.
The Celtics own the draft rights to 3 players that they drafted this summer who haven't played in the NBA (but are still developing). The Celtics could include any of them as sweeteners in a trade at the deadline. From the sounds of it, other teams are interested.
"They did a nice job of getting guys they could develop, and if you know you can't get the big picks they have this year or next year, the players they took last year, that is where you can get a lot of value," one general manager told Sporting News.
One GM thought Ante Zizic would have been a top 10 pick this year if he had taken his name out of the draft last year (he ended up being the 23rd pick).
Guerschon Yabusele is seen as a tweener but that isn't quite the dirty word it has been in the past.
"He is built sort of like Jae Crowder, he is big up top and is a physical player," the international scout said. "But he has more offensive potential."
Also named was Abdel Nader, the 58th pick last year, who's putting up monster stat lines for the Maine Red Claws.
For the most part, draft picks become less valuable when they turn into actual players (because picks leave the choice of the prospect up to the acquiring team). But in some cases the players look better than the position that they were drafted in and become even more valuable.
Don't be too surprised if one of these names is attached to a trade this month.

Last week, UL Benchmarks has added a new graphics test to 3DMark focused on Mesh Shaders. I talked about mesh shaders in this article: Quick Introduction to Mesh Shaders (OpenGL and Vulkan).
Here is the description of this new graphics test:
DirectX 12 Ultimate adds powerful new features and capabilities to DirectX 12 including DirectX Raytracing Tier 1.1, Mesh Shaders, Sampler Feedback, and Variable Rate Shading (VRS).
After DirectX 12 Ultimate was announced, we started adding new tests to 3DMark to show how games can benefit from these new features.
Our latest addition is the 3DMark Mesh Shader feature test, a new test that shows how game developers can boost frame rates by using mesh shaders in the graphics pipeline.
What is a mesh shader?
Mesh shaders introduce a new approach to geometry processing that simplifies the graphics pipeline while also giving developers more flexibility and control.
In 3D graphics, a mesh is the set of vertices, edges and faces that define the shape of an object. In current graphics pipelines, all the geometry data in a mesh must be processed sequentially before any further steps can be taken. This can be a significant performance bottleneck.
Mesh shaders replace the old approach with a new model that brings the power, flexibility and control of a compute programming model to the geometry pipeline.
Mesh shaders can process small sections of a mesh, called meshlets, in parallel with a much greater degree of flexibility and control.
Amplification shaders, another new part of the mesh shader pipeline, are especially useful for culling, as they can efficiently determine which meshlets are visible before shading. An amplification shader can cull nonvisible meshlets far more efficiently than the traditional methods.
Test mesh shader performance with 3DMark
The 3DMark Mesh Shader feature test shows how game engines can improve performance by using the mesh shader pipeline to efficiently cull geometry that is not visible to the camera.
The test scene is a hall containing many rows of highly detailed, carved pillars. As the camera moves through the scene, the pillars in the foreground block the view of those further back.
The test runs in two passes. The first pass uses a traditional approach to geometry culling to provide a performance baseline. The second pass uses mesh shaders to efficiently cull hidden meshlets.
The result of the test is the average frame rate for each pass and the difference between the two expressed as a percentage.
More information: New 3DMark test measures mesh shader performance
To play with the mesh shader test, you need a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 20/30 Series or an AMD Radeon RX 6000 Series and Windows 10 v2004 (20H2).

I've seen several casinos in the world and I observed the status of the communities in these countries. Whenever you see a casino you will see a depression in the city.
Even in the most liberal cities in the world like the US they don't issue licenses to open casinos in many of their states. You see people from all races and religions standing against opening casinos in their neighbourhoods because of what it brings to their communities of bad group of unwanted people, and behaviors.
Old people standing behind slot machines will not bring more tourists and will not solve our economical problems. When you see a Casino you will notice an expression of depression in an isolated trashy communities with no morals.
Will Jordan become one?
But in a religious conuntry like Jordan why we don't see people's voice standing against not only proposing one but even thinking about it?
AMMAN (JT) - MP Khalil Atiyyeh has asked the Lower House to investigate reports
of a former minister's alleged involvement in a dubious deal to license a casino
on the shores of the Dead Sea.
Atiyyeh, who heads the House Financial
Committee, said the concerned official must be held accountable for his actions,
which could have cost the government a staggering $1 billion.
reports surfaced in the print and electronic media this week about a decision by
Prime Minister Nader Dahabi's government to annul an agreement with an Iraqi
investor to build a casino in the Dead Sea area. The government is yet to
publicly react to the reports.
Officials had to resort to local and foreign
experts to find loopholes in the agreement in order to terminate it without
having to pay the investor a fine worth more than $1 billion.
The envisaged
casino was supposed to be built as part of a tourism megaproject that included
the establishment of a five-star hotel in the area. A former tourism
minister had reportedly obtained approval from the Cabinet to issue the licence,
without going through the required legal procedures. With the Parliament in
recess, the Lower House will not be able to look into Atiyyeh's request until
the next ordinary session, scheduled for either November or December.

Pantifa Crybabies! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Gasp BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH 23 year old whining crying cowardly Commie BWAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Source: ZeroHedge
A 23-year-old Wisconsin man carrying a flamethrower, smoke grenades and fireworks during a Saturday night demonstration in Green Bay 'dropped into the fetal position and began crying' after he was chased down by police.
Matthew Banta of Neenah, WI – who is "known to be a violent Antifa member who incites violence in otherwise relatively peaceful protests," was one of four individuals walking towards a protest with baseball bats, according to ABC2.
- Green Bay police say they were called for "a whole bunch of white people with sticks, baseball bats and helmets headed… towards the police" on Walnut St. near Webster Ave.
- A responding officer says he saw four individuals walking towards a protest with baseball bats. One man was wearing a metal helmet with goggles and military-style gear with multiple pouches, and was carrying an Antifa flag.
- When the officer pulled his squad car in front of the group, they ran away.
- The officer caught Banta, who was carrying the flag, and says Banta "dropped into the fetal position and began crying." He accused the officer of lying on him; the officer replied nobody was on him. –ABC2
Banta "dropped into the fetal position and began crying." He accused the officer of lying on him; the officer replied nobody was on him
Banta claims he wasn't planning to incite a riot (with his flamethrower, smoke grenade and fireworks).
The three other individuals Banta was with were caught trying to break into a house. When officers apprehended them, they dropped what they were carrying, with one of them telling the police that they were simply bringing items for self-defense.
Last month, Banta was charged in Waupaca County with second-degree recklessly endangering safety and four other charges for pointing a loaded gun at a police officer, and biting and kicking another.

Capricho Arabe, by Francisco Tarrega, is one of the most recognized Spanish guitar pieces. It's qualities include mystery, beauty, and passion.
Tarrega is one of the most renowned classical guitar composers. He also wrote other popular pieces such as Recuerdos de la Alhambra, Lagrima, and Gran Vals.
Tarrega also arranged many pieces by other composers. One of his most well-known arrangements is Asturias-Leyenda by Isaac Albeniz. As a composer and arranger, he changed the course of Spanish guitar music. His music and arrangements remain popular today.
Capricho Arabe was written in 1888. Tarrega had recently explored northern Africa and the Andalusia region of Spain. Both regions were influenced by Muslim and other religious cultures. These travels heavily influenced Tarrega as he wrote this piece.
The piece is performed often in concert. And many guitarists, including Andres Segovia, Pepe Romero, and Manuel Barrueco have recorded the piece.

Hi, I'm Allen Mathews.
I started as a folk guitarist, then fell in love with classical guitar in my 20's. Despite a lot of practice and schooling, I still couldn't get my music to flow well. I struggled with excess tension. My music sounded forced. And my hands and body were often sore. I got frustrated, and couldn't see the way forward. Then, over the next decade, I studied with two other stellar teachers – one focused on the technical movements, and one on the musical (he was a concert pianist). In time, I came to discover a new set of formulas and movements. These brought new life and vitality to my practice. Now I help guitarists find more comfort and flow in their music, so they play more beautifully.
