ANTIPOLO — Grace Irebu's towering presence was in full display Saturday, towing University of Santo Tomas to a hard-fought 57-53 win over Adamson in UAAP season 82 women's basketball tournament at the Ynares Center here.
The reigning MVP churned out a monster performance with 27 points and 20 rebounds as the Growling Tigresses wrapped up the elimination round as the two-seed with an 11-3 record.
The Congolese student-athlete scattered 13 points in the payoff period, including two big baskets in the end game which sandwiched a Kat Araja three to keep the Lady Falcons at bay 55-52 with 26 seconds left in the game.
Things got even more interesting a few moments later when Lhyn Bilbao was called for an unsportsmanlike foul for a hard foul on Ruby Portillo.
Portillo split her free throws to give the Tigresses a 56-52 lead with 13 ticks remaining, but they left the door open when they turned the ball over on the next possession before Portillo herself was called for a technical foul after contesting a foul called against her.
Mar Prado drained the solitary free throw to give Adamson one last shot to send the game into overtime but Rose Ann Dampios' three-pointer failed to find the mark.
"Mixed emotions, I'm happy because we're number two and we'll have a twice to beat advantage, but not so happy and impressed with the way my team played today," UST coach Haydee Ong said.
"Grace saved us for another win today, with her monster performance."
Tantoy Ferrer also had a big game on the boards as she finished with 15 rebounds to go along her eight points, two assists, and a block. As a team, the Tigresses outrebounded the Lady Falcons 60-40.
Prado had an all-around performance for the Lady Falcons as she finished with 11 points, 12 rebounds, and six steals while Dampios topscored for them with 12 points.
It was a missed opportunity for Adamson to separate itself from the pack as it dropped to 8-5. Far Eastern University (7-6) and La Salle (6-6) remain hot on their heels in what is expected to be a wild end to the tournament.
UST 57 – Irebu 27, Ferrer 8, Portillo 8, Gandalla 4, Panti 4, Soriano 3, Callangan 2, Rivera 1, Gonzales 0, Tacatac 0
ADU 53 – Dampios 12. Prado 11. Bilbao 10, Flor 10. Araja 6, Catulong 2. Ornopia 2, Anicamara 0, Mendoza 0
Quarterscores: 19-18, 33-25, 42-41, 57-53

We're all familiar with SEO. It's how we optimize our web content to rank high in search engines.
But what is Enterprise SEO?
Let's keep it simple:
Enterprise SEO scales regular SEO activities to optimize thousands of pages. Because of this overhaul of page content, practices such as project management, collaboration, competitor analysis, etc. are essential.
What is Enterprise SEO? Unique Traits of SEO for the Enterprise
Now we have an idea of Enterprise SEO. It's time to get into the specifics.
The idea of improving search engine visibility stays the same. The only thing that changes is your strategy for getting there. Let's dive into these traits.
Optimizing Thousands of Pages – The Hallmark of Enterprise SEO
The defining feature behind Enterprise SEO is the volume of content.
Because Enterprise sites contain thousands of pages, there's a lot more optimization to take care of. Keep in mind these two ideas.
- Don't let pages slip through the cracks. Optimizing thousands of pages means you may miss a few. Your goal is to make sure all pages have an SEO score over 50%.
- Watch out for duplicate content. This is a silent killer of Enterprise SEO. Enterprise sites have pages with similar content. But you have to ensure all pages are targeting unique keywords with original content.
Optimizing large content volumes calls for a coordinated effort. This leads into our next Enterprise SEO trait – working with remote teams.
Working with Remote Teams – Improving SEO Through Coordination
We have to discuss team collaboration when asking "what is Enterprise SEO".
This is because improving Enterprise SEO involves a range of marketing team members.
You have other Marketing Managers who have a hand in steering the SEO ship. Marketing top brass is also looking at the business value of your efforts. And don't forget web-dev teams who implement SEO changes to your site.
This makes effective collaboration keystone in Enterprise SEO. If not, changes are slow to put in place, or even worse, not implemented at all.
Enterprise SEO starts with site-wide analysis and team collaboration to get the ball rolling.
Now it's time to look outwards.
Analyzing Competitor SEO Strategies
Competitor analysis is an important part of any SEO strategy.
But what makes Enterprise SEO unique is competitor concentration. This means there are a few players with a ton of authority in your space. Not only that, but they have resources to scale SEO strategies quickly.
So where do you start?
First look at competitor keywords. You want to focus on where competitors are ranking for keywords important to your business.
This guides your strategy. If you discover a valuable keyword for your business which competitors rank low for, you can capitalize.
You'll also want to look at competitive rank over time. This shows you if new strategies are paying off. It also shows you when your competitors are ramping up their SEO game plan.
We've covered the diagnostic perspective of Enterprise SEO. Now we can start looking into strategies moving forward.
Keyword Selection Process – Targeting Valuable Search Terms
Targeting keywords in regular SEO is tough. But because we're talking Enterprise SEO, keyword targeting requires a different mentality.
What do I mean by this?
Well, for Enterprise SEO, keyword search volume is not the dominating factor behind your targeting.
You want to look at other factors, like ranking difficulty and search intent match. You also want to gauge how confident you are for overtaking ranks.
Enterprise SEO Managers have to factor in ranking difficulty, search intent, and existing results to inform their decisions. If you see established competitors ranking high for your target, it's going to be an uphill battle.
High Volumes of Data – Boiling Down Enterprise SEO
This brings us to our final point on "what is Enterprise SEO?"
And that's the idea of high volumes of data.
You have thousands of pages to analyze. Concentrated competitors to outrank. And stringent keyword components to think about. This all boils down to a lot of data to crunch.
The key to succeeding is staying on top of the data.
What is Enterprise SEO? The Definitive Answer
We've covered the fundamentals of Enterprise SEO.
You now have the knowledge and tools to take your Enterprise SEO strategy to the next level.
Would you add any points to our definitive answer? Make sure we hear about it in the comments below.

Hiring the Best
The latest LOC thread discussed how there are several different types of programmers and amount of apparent physical effort is not necessarily the best indicator of employee value.
Dominic Bellvue
Your fantasy?
Oh, this is going to be fun!
Joel Spolsky
To get the answer, simply send a $500 check or money order to our offices.....
Bominic Dellvue
The answer, of course, is onions. I'll take "Condiments" for $800.
we pay $220,000 for the low-end guys, maybe we could use your superstars to operate our caffee machines
I think there isn't a secret. If you pay the best developers 220,000 a year, theres going to be a shitload of competition. When you have people fighting to juts get their resume read, I'm guessing your not just hiring superstars, but turning them away. Or, your dreaming. ::shrug::
The "developers" actually don't know how to develop but rather savvy business persons who subcontract the actual coding to the REAL developers at $66k a year, pocketing the extra change.
You steal programmers away from Fog Creek.
Remind us again why Fog Creek programmers are supposed to be superstars? They made some app to track bugs?
Everyone Outside This Forum
so true, why superstars need a huge system to track bugs?
"so true, why superstars need a huge system to track bugs? "

Maybe Dominic has an idea for a new reality TV show called 'The Programmer"?

Prakash S
Via Open Source projects?
Rhys Keepence
- Presumably the guessing is an integral part of this? Setting up questions to be gatekeepers?
Tayssir John Gabbour
- Hiring an expert(s) and having her help you pick out and convince the people she(they) want to most work with?
Tayssir John Gabbour
Have each programmer on staff name every programmer he knows who is *better* than he is, then try to recruit from that list? And if anyone on the team disagrees during the screening, automatic no hire.
John C.
Prakash and Gabbour are getting hot. The key is that you have to go to the developers, not wait for the right ones to stumble into you. This is self evident when you realize that there are just a very small number of the top people and most of them, the overwhelming majority, are pertfectly happy with what they are doing and have no desire to move regardless of salary incentives and there is no chance you can get them no matter what you do, so you have to find those who would consider working for you and then convince them to do so. By this time, the possibilities are finite and manageable, you can probably now think of things that will work other than what we are doing but that work just as well.
Dominic Bellvue
Vulture strategy?
Tayssir John Gabbour
God damn it, I've gotta go back to what I was doing, but there's a number of strategies out there that fits within your constraints I've seen. I've been offered an interview in a bookstore because some guy noticed me picking out the right books. (I don't recommend it though..) Watching if a competitor has low morale, which many do. Reading fuckedcompany.com and decide hwo to proceed.
Tayssir John Gabbour
You look for published works and hire the authors?
Dennis Forbes
Horoscope matching?
Poaching presenters at conferences?
Sam Livingston-Gray
What's wrong with employing a recruiter to find the people you need? Isn't this what recruiters are for?
Recruiters couldn't spot talent if it was on their desk naked. If they did, they wouldn't tell you because their margin would be too low and they prefer "team players" ( guys who are too dumb to ask questions.)
I've been offered work because of my various postings on forums and newsgroups. One of my collegues also got a contract job after several postings on an Oracle newsgroup.
Steve Jones (UK)
I agree with the Open Source thing, except that you probably fund one or more OS projects and employ the best people from them.
Look for people who are already doing things i guess, and doing them visibly well. As a random aside, I started a job temporarily doing programming when I was 18 before uni. I didn't really know all I needed to, as no-one really did. It was quite a new field. So I used the company server to set up a mailing list. Within a week it had 800 developers on it, half of whom worked for companies that were beyond my wildest dreams at the time, and I was looked on as some sort of leader in the field. The fact that I didn't KNOW as much as some people didn't seem to be obvious... I got asked to write magazine articles, and two weeks later I got offered a job for twice my then salary (and more than i'm earning now, annoyingly...) I turned it down, which was stupid in some ways.
Andrew Cherry
Simply, judge who found the answers to the question on this forum and contact the winner thru email. Oops, sometime there isn't any email.
R Chevallier
Minor clarification. Re-reading what I've written it seems as if it was about 1950ish when programming was new. Actually I simply meant that the small field I was programming in was quite new. Just in case people start thinking of how I managed to run a mail server at Bletchley Park...
Andrew Cherry
Require your HR people to play Dungeons and Dragons on the weekend and haul in any new players over the age of thirty who still live with their parents and won't shut up about some software projects they are doing in their spare time?
name withheld out of cowardice
"Look for people who are already doing things i guess, and doing them visibly well."
Dominic Bellvue
But don't those people also prove that they are entrepreneurs, so will probably leave your company as soon as they think of another idea (if not already doing it on the side), or will leave to make your products, but better?
Alright, so you've told us your "killer" method of *finding* the superstars, but how do you *convice* them to come work on your clap-trap???
Anon-y-mous Cow-ard
Ah! The Swordfish strategy... except that you don't do a skills test the same way... or at all, from what you've said
Dominic Bellvue
The movie 'Swordfish'... John Travolta tests uber-hacker Hugh Jackman's skills by having him crack some government code while a gun's pointed at his big-head and a blonde's at work on his little-head
swordfish: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0244244/
In some way the technique seems almost obvious, but it is interesting that someone did it and it actually works. Here are a few followup questions:
Nobody ever asked me to apply for a job while I was browsing the local book store. Unfortunately, the closest technical book store, Maryland Book Exchange, remodeled their store a few years ago. They put in some big overhead lights that produce a loud hum. It is like fluorescent lights with noisy ballast transformers but REALLY LOUD. I can't stand to spend more than a few minutes there. This is only in the technical book section. The rest of the store is ok. Anyhow, I don't go there to browse anymore.
actually, I found the movie rather entertaining. Lots of cool explosions, and very cool monitor setup...(although not very useful....)
Dominic Bellvue, how much would you pay Nick Bradbury?
Hurray! What do I win? A job? Oh bugger, i've already got one... Well, anyway, although you seem to think i've got the right answer, the small anecdote with which I accompanied it was supposed to illustrate the opposite.
Andrew Cherry
Another related problem is a shareware developer has had the power to create everything HIS way... so how enthusiastic is he to work on somebody ELSE's ball of mud?
I would like to know also about what would it take to hire Nick Bradbury, this guy is just an amazing one-man company.
.NET Developer
Dominic Bellvue
Hire Nick Bradbury to work for me???
.NET Developer
Dominic, I think you're telling fibs.
Yes, uh, 150 developers at $100-220K a year? No business model and no product supports that.
Herman H.
Ron, do you believe it would be better to have 1500 developers at 66k each, the sum total of which is less productive?
Wondering, 150 developers who are extremely productive as a 1-man show simply do not scale to even 5-man teams. And there are very few companies that sell 30 different apps... which means Dominic's "company," if it exists, has much larger team sizes than five, and in no way could afford $200K+ salaries.
Herman H, I'm not condemning shareware developers, or corporate staffers either. Just pointing out there are differences and that Dominic is telling lies if he says that's how he staffs big profitable projects.
Actually, Paul Graham makes a similar point in his new book (see the thread way above this.)
Dominic, do you manage a team for someone like Oracle, or Google or IBM ?
Steve Jones (UK)
As an aside, maybe there's hope for Billy after all:
Steve Jones (UK)
Can't be MS - they certainly don't pay three times the average salary from what I hear! But I would love to know which company this is, because i'd like to see just how good their products are. If this company does exist of course, i'm still slightly struggling to agree with some of the apparent hiring mentality!
Andrew Cherry
Another suggestion for you Dominic: How about Joel ?
Steve Jones (UK)
This is a troll, right ?
Looks like it was a troll.

So, now we take a bit of an interlude and see what else is going on around Camp Victory. Remember that next door to the 213th Combat Engineers Battalion, is the 220th Military Police Brigade. The 220th MPs are coming off of local QRF duty– Quick Reaction Force, a force of soldiers that are dedicated to be ready to move out within a minute of receiving a distress call– they were the ones that reacted at the end of the Fallujah chapter, when Specialist Two-Feathers brought her sniff dog, Butter, out to support the team.
So the MPs are coming off rotation and being told that they will have to pass the time as "traditional" MPs, which means traffic duty, for the most part. This really happened; Military Police were put on incredibly routine traffic and safety stop duties on Camp Victory. I drew everyone here a bit downcast as they think about the promise of grinding routine– except for Two-Feathers, who is thrilled to find out that apparently they had free time they never knew about to fulfill these chores.

The tenth anniversary edition of Kapana Fest has already started and filled the small streets in the creative district with buzz and people since the morning. As always, this year, the event will offer its visitors works of art, small acoustic stages, a variety of culinary delicacies and various sports challenges.
Right next to Shirokoto of Kapana and almost in front of the famous bakery is the entertainment for children in the form of a bungee jumping facility and a climbing wall. On the corner between Bratya Pulievi and Zagreb will be one of the small stages, the other - on Abadzhiiska, and the main one will be in the parking lot of Central Hali, where there are also food and beverage vans.
Along the Small Main Street, but this time on a fairly small scale you will find some of your favorite creators of jewelry, handmade clothes, household items and more. The stand of the Third Wheel is interesting, as it "revives" the culture with beautifully inscribed postcards with quotes from poems, interesting bags with titles of cult Bulgarian movies and T-shirts with a memorable design, again reminding us of many generations' favorite films.
And when there is Kapana Fest, there should be taking pictures and tagging from the place. This year we suggest you spread your wings to the stand of a popular brand of vodka
or a few meters down to whisper your wishes in the ear of the character, founder of one of the best-selling brands of alcohol in the world.
We are waiting for your shots from the event with the hashtag #lostinplovdiv!

There is always so much to do when planning a move that it can become extremely stressful in a very short period of time. The trick is to plan well in advance to account for any unexpected issues and finish the bulk of the work before moving day. When there is so much to be done, the worst thing is to end up packing last minute the night before the big day.
It is usually advised to start planning and packing around three to four months in advance. With this approach, the move can become exciting and stress-free.
Before trying to start packing (which can be chaotic on its own), grab a cup of tea and draft a checklist of what needs to be done. Make a copy of the list and place it somewhere prominent. The checklist would usually contain several main sections. The first would comprise of booking rental services and making arrangements with possible old and new landlords. The second section should list people, services and offices that you have to inform about your change of address and complete any paperwork. Lastly, make a comprehensive list of what needs to be packed and roughly in what order. This list will essentially become a plan of action to help get everything done on time.
As unbelievable as it sounds, even a couple months after informing them of the new address, many offices will still continue to automatically send mail to the old address. Make sure to do this in advance and give them time to update their files. All of the household utility and services companies should be notified first. These include water, head, television and cable, phone, gardeners, private snow removal services and so on. Let them know of the exact moving date and if the service can be transferred, request that as well. Institutions such as banks, accountants, insurance, lawyers and the government as well as the children's school, doctors and vets should not be forgotten. The local post office (or even their website) can help to set up a mail forwarding service so that any mail accidentally sent to the old address will be forwarded to the new one for a period of time.
One of the major advantages of planning a move in advance is that it saves a huge amount of money. Making last minute reservations for rental services or cancelling utilities or a lease without sufficient notice usually results in hefty cancellation fees or worse, continuation of the service until the contract allows it to be ended. It is also very easy to make money by selling off old or unwanted clothing and household items. This serves a double purpose because it also reduces the amount of goods that have to be packed and transported. The government also sometimes offers tax deductions for certain cases, so it is good to stay aware of them and find out if any are applicable. If so, make sure to keep any receipts related to the move.
The best way to go about packing is by determining which items are not needed on a daily basis. This can include winter clothing, knick knacks, old books and more. Start by packing those items first to get them out of the way. It helps to have some sort of packing and labeling system to make it easy to locate things later. For example, don't mix clothes with dishes and toys all in one box. Pack items according to the room they belong in and mark the boxes with a unique number and the name of the room. Develop a master list which details the contents of each numbered box. Never actually list the contents directly on the boxes themselves because it serves as an easy way to encourage theft of valuables when dealing with movers or other unknown people. In the weeks leading up to the move, try not to buy too many groceries. Instead, finish fresh meat, produce and dairy to avoid having to throw it out later.
Many items such as extra furniture, large area rugs or bulk garden décor can be kept in storage temporarily until they are needed. Self-storage facilities offer a safe locker that can be rented out for months at a time. Always research the facility and make sure their security standards are up to par. The more secure storage lockers look like a small room with a roll-up garage door that can be padlocked. Less secure versions are cage-type models. With the latter, it is easy to see the items inside. Some moving companies also offer storage solutions as part of their services. Occasionally they may include the first month free with the rental of a truck. When packing items in a storage unit, always keep a detailed list of what has been placed inside. This is key in helping to indicate if anything is missing later and also in case anything needs to be retrieved. Storage units can also be rented for additional vehicles or recreational vehicles and boats.
Recently there have been a number of scams involving moving companies with regards to some of the smaller or unknown names. One common trick they employ is to hold the customer's belongings until a high service fee is paid. Although the larger companies are pricier, their reputable service is worth it. Always research and book the services a few months in advance of the move. Many moving services offer trucks that correspond to the number of rooms in the house. Keep in mind that if friends or family can help to move some boxes or furniture in their vehicles, it could be a cost-saver. There is also the question of how many movers are needed. The more people there are, the quicker the job will get done. Do be aware that movers charge a high rate by the hour. Leave the larger pieces to them and ask those in your close circle to help with the rest. Always be careful to lift items carefully using the correct techniques and to stay well hydrated in warmer weather.
Moving, especially with young children, can be tricky. They will most likely be hesitant to leave if there are strong attachments to nearby family, neighbors and school friends. By letting them know a few months in advance, they can slowly get used to the idea of moving. Introduce it as an adventure to make them view it in an exciting and positive light. If they can be involved somehow with the preparations, such as the yard sale and some light packing, it can help to solidify the concept of moving in their minds. Additionally they will feel more connected with the move. The same applies for older children and teens, although they should be informed in a way that is appropriate for their age. Moving to a college or dorm is usually quite exciting for teens. In case they do display symptoms of depression or hesitation, try to cheer them up by shopping for decor for their new room or relating experiences of your own dorm room. Do read the college's guidelines since they often information on items that are not allowed, such as fire hazards and pets.
If you anticipate that very young children, seniors or pets will be more likely to get in the way on moving day, arrange for a trusted neighbor to take care of them during the day. Pack a box or suitcase of some emergency and comfort items to help everyone settle in immediately during their first night. This box should travel in the car so that it does not get lost among the other boxes.
Everyone breathes a huge sigh of relief after the last box has been delivered and the last mover has left. On the first night, let everyone take a break and hold off on unpacking. The "open first" box that traveled in the car can be opened to provide clean bed linens, toiletries and food. When unpacking the next day, do it room by room and appoint one designated area in the house for depositing flattened boxes and discarded packing materials. Recycle any reusable materials. Although unpacking and settling in will take some time, head out to meet the new neighbors and become acquainted with the city as well. Find out about the nearest local schools, banks, libraries, grocery stores, churches and entertainment centers. The local parks and recreation guide will also offer heaps of suggestions about public sports and leisure areas, as well as clubs to join.

Walker's family has questioned the use of deadly force against him by the officers…reports Asian Lite News
Police in the US state of Ohio have released body-camera footage of the fatal shooting of African-American Jayland Walker by multiple officers last week.
The release of the footage on Sunday came almost a week after the shooting took place on June 27 in Akron as officers attempted to pull over Walker on unspecified traffic violations, according to the city's Police Department.
The officers were said to have chased Walker's vehicle on the expressway for several minutes, reports Xinhua news agency.
Walker then allegedly jumped out of his car while the footage showed officers pursuing him on foot before opening fire.
The police department said officers "reported a firearm being discharged from the suspect vehicle" during the encounter.
Walker, 25, suffered more than 60 gunshot wounds and was unarmed at the time, according to Akron Police Chief Steve Mylett.
Eight officers who were directly involved in the shooting have been placed on administrative leave as part of the protocol in a police shooting, Mylett said.
The city had contacted the Ohio Attorney General's Bureau of Criminal Investigation and requested an independent investigation into the incident. The process is underway.
Walker's family has questioned the use of deadly force against him by the officers.
An attorney for the family, Bobby DiCello, said that he has not seen any evidence yet regarding allegations that Walker had shot at officers and that the man was unarmed and fleeing when being shot.
Protesters have taken to the street in Akron for several days in a row to oppose police brutality and racism, and demand justice for Walker.
Akron cancelled its Independence Day celebrations after protests broke out in the wake of Walker's death.
"I completely understand that some residents and guests will be disappointed by the decision to cancel the festival this holiday weekend. Independence Day is meant to be a celebration and a time of gathering with friends and family," Akron Mayor Dan Horrigan wrote in a statement. "Unfortunately, I feel strongly that this is not the time for a city-led celebration."
NAACP (The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) President Derrick Johnson said in a statement that Walker's death wasn't self-defense, but "was murder. Point blank".
"This doesn't happen to white people in America," Johnson said. "We are just trying to live our lives, and we are tired of being hunted like prey. We know that pulling over for the police is often a death sentence."
African-Americans are nearly three times more likely to be killed by police than white people in the United States, according to data from Mapping Police Violence.

Facebook, the company or more precisely the social network need no introduction. It has finally decided to launch a subscription-based service for its users. In this blog, Televisory has tried to explore the reasons for this move.
Facebook, no doubt is the world's largest social network with a market capitalisation of $600 billion and 2.129 billion monthly active users. However, the platform has been free for its users since the inception. Facebook earns almost all of its revenue from advertisements displayed by businesses to its users while they browse through the Facebook. It is, therefore, obvious that a high number of daily active users and more time spent by users on the platform will result in a higher revenue-generating potential for Facebook. Understandably, the success of Facebook lies in keeping its users engaged and addicted to the website.
But, why would a user want to login into Facebook every day? What would make a user spend most of his or her leisure time on Facebook?
Facebook as a social network, which helps people to keep in touch with their friends, relatives and acquaintances. The concept of social networking began in the new millennium with the launch of websites like Orkut and hi5, long after the internet came into existence. The concept of social networking helps long lost friends to connect. People feel happy to get in touch with their friends and relatives they had lost contact with. However, what sets Facebook apart from other social networking sites are additional features such as regular updates on one's Facebook friends' activities, the ability to upload unlimited pictures, liking and commenting on friends' pictures and updates. Facebook was able to beat its competitors through these added features and achieved deep penetration around the globe. The below chart shows that the daily active users on Facebook increased at a steep pace from 0.62 billion (2012) to 1.4 billion (2017). Further, users enjoy to spend time on Facebook and upload quality pictures for likes. Users post updates on their recent excursions, like and comment on updates of their friends and watch shared videos. The increase in the number of users and the time spent by them brought in more advertisers to Facebook and resulted in a steep increase in revenue for the company. Facebook's revenue increased eight-fold from USD 5.09 billion to USD 40.65 billion over 2012-2017 with advertisement income contribution to the total revenue increasing from 84% to 98% during the same period.
Additionally, the time spent by users on Facebook is more for entertainment (apart from developing a social network to stay in touch). The primary competitors of Facebook are websites with large daily active users, where businesses can place advertisements. The secondary competitors are other online sources of entertainment, where users would like to spend their leisure time. Finally, the last level of competitors for Facebook are other social networking websites and applications. Facebook does not have a well-defined purpose and it can be used by people for a broad spectrum of purposes other than creating a social network such as dating, watching photographs, forming a community of people with like-minded interests and spreading knowledge. The needs served by Facebook are also served by competing businesses which specialise in serving those specific needs. For example, LinkedIn, the competing social networking website operates in a niche segment and serves the purpose of connecting professionals and also serves as a job search portal. Uploading photographs and viewing photographs of others in the network can also be done on Instagram, which specialises as a picture sharing platform and allows users to edit photographs to make them look more attractive. The messaging applications such as WhatsApp and WeChat help people remain connected through the internet. Online video streaming for entertainment can be done on specialised websites such as YouTube and Netflix. Quora has emerged as a knowledge sharing platform that seeks information through crowdsourcing. These alternate platforms are growing in terms of the number of users and this poses a challenge for Facebook to ensure that its registered users continue to spend their time on Facebook to sustain its growth. One way to do so would be to offer something unique or different like its competitors. It is possible that the same person may use YouTube to watch videos and Instagram to post pictures, though Facebook provides the medium for both the activities. This is so because YouTube and Netflix have a much larger collection of videos than Facebook and Instagram offer innovative ways to upload and view photos and videos with better quality. The same user would use LinkedIn if the purpose of networking is purely professional as LinkedIn specialises in professional networking, although the same can be done on Facebook as well.
Moreover, Facebook took a strategically right decision to acquire its competitors; WhatsApp and Instagram. WhatsApp was acquired in 2014 for USD 16 billion and Instagram in 2012 for USD 1 billion. The number of monthly active users on Instagram has grown from 1 million (Dec. 2010) to 1 billion (Apr. 2018). In case, Facebook had not acquired Instagram, it would have posed a strong competition to the Facebook today. The acquisition of these competitors has helped Facebook to sustain its growth. However, these acquisitions were pricey and also to an extent reflect Facebook's inability to bring something innovative to satisfy the needs of its users. YouTube with 1.5 billion monthly active users is currently offering a tough competition to Facebook. In response, Facebook has also launched Facebook Watch and the IGTV on Instagram. However, YouTube is owned by Alphabet (Google) and the synergies associated with Alphabet poses a threat of surpassing Facebook's active users count.
Though Facebook is a social networking platform, it is used more for entertainment and it is the time spent on entertainment that contributes to the revenue of Facebook. It is not in the interest of Facebook to ignore the alternative sources of entertainment that are gaining traction. Therefore, in a bid to search for alternative sources of revenue, Facebook has decided to launch a paid subscription-based version, in addition to the free one. This would be similar to LinkedIn, which has a free basic account and a paid premium account comprising additional features. How would Facebook distinguish its paid account from the free account? The charges for its paid account and the most important, how many users would choose the paid subscription? Is yet to be seen.

The Other
ORIGINAL TITLE: Främlingsfigurer
AUTHOR: Mara Lee
ORIGINAL PUBLISHER: Albert Bonniers förlag
GENRE: Fiction
In the vein of Toni Morrison's Playing in the Dark, novelist and poet Mara Lee explores our literary imagination in a book of essays focusing on love and racism. With fearlessness and yet deep vulnerability, Lee asks how love may be connected to racism, and if metaphors and language at large may act as carriers of racism and power. Referring to literary giants such as Dante, Woolf, Mary Shelley and The Poetic Edda, this experimental work is equal parts glistening poetry and literary history. The form also permits the reader to partake and to perform parts of the labour through Lee's careful guidance. Exploring and discussing concepts such as white saviorism and emotional labour, The Other is relentlessly connecting words and violence.

Cary Arts Center , 101 Dry Avenue, Cary, NC 27511
"Married now for over ten years, Broadway stars Lauren Kennedy and Alan Campbell form the ideal musical merger when onstage together — from giddy and light-hearted to powerful and poignant, from well-known hits from their Broadway musicals and pop-rock milestones to remarkably fresh, undiscovered gems from a whole new bounty of remarkable young composers and lyricists. The pair met in Andrew Lloyd Webber's Sunset Boulevard on Broadway; other notable shows include Spamalot and Les Misérables (Kennedy) and Contact and Beauty and The Beast (Campbell). Kennedy is a Raleigh native; the pair produce Raleigh's 'Hot Summer Nights at the Kennedy.' 'It Takes Two' is an evening of perfectly-tuned, consummately entertaining, smooth-as-satin show biz panache — plopped smack-dab in the middle of a platter of real life. It's diapers, left-over pizza, who's taking care of the little one, does-this-dress-make-me-look-fat, can-you-just-shut-up-and-sing wonderful. And it's as much fun as chocolate and champagne, iced tea and pimento cheese. Tickets on sale Sept. 28."

Having obtained a diploma in Intercultural Communication, Julia continued her studies taking a Master's degree in Economics and Management. Becoming captured by innovative technologies, Julia turned passionate about exploring emerging techs believing in their ability to transform all spheres of our life.
Just like traditional stocks, the value of Bitcoin can change from the time you place the buy order to the time the order is processed.
Question: Can you buy cryptocurrency on one exchange and sell it on a different exchange?
Answer: Yes.
Question: Why would you want to do this, and what is it called?
Answer: It's call Arbitrage, and cryptocurrency investors do it to make money.
Just like any other asset, cryptocurrencies are worth what someone else is willing to pay for them. And as it happens, Bitcoin is worth more in certain areas of the world, as well as between different exchanges. This means there is a profit margin that savvy traders can exploit -and it is perfectly legal.
This is a practice known as arbitrage, where you buy Bitcoin (or another cryptocurrency) on one exchange and then sell in on a different exchange where it has a higher value. Arbitrage is a common market practice; cryptocurrency investors did not invent the practice. It is simply buying from one exchange and selling the same asset on another exchange so the owner can turn a profit.
Why Is Arbitrage Work Done?
The reason why you might buy Bitcoins in Canada and turn around to sell them immediately elsewhere is that there will always be variations of the cost of Bitcoin, from one exchange to another. And sometimes there is a large enough variation that you can make a substantial profit.
Exchanges price cryptocurrencies at what they can sell them for. That means that larger exchanges can move larger amounts of Bitcoin faster than smaller ones can. This also means that they can sell Bitcoin at a lower price.
On the other hand, smaller exchanges move smaller amounts of Bitcoin, so they have to charge more for Bitcoin. It is almost like shopping at a convenience store versus shopping at Costco -volume discounts apply.
The Math and Profit Margins
The potential profit from arbitrage varies greatly, of course. It also has a lot to do with how advanced you are as a cryptocurrency trader. That's because if you are going to make this work, you need to know which exchanges are selling Bitcoin for more and which for less.
But if done correctly, arbitrage can be very profitable.
Here is a little bit of hypothetical math to show you how the profit is earned through arbitrage.
Bitcoin is selling for $1000 on exchange A
Bitcoin is selling for $1050 on exchange B
You buy 100 Bitcoin at $1000 on A for a total of $100 000
You then sell them on B for $105 000
That is a profit of $5000 in a matter of hours ($50 x 100 = $5000)
When to Try Arbitrage
Cryptocurrencies are incredibly volatile, and many factors affect their volatility. This is why arbitrage can work so well. The value of Bitcoin changes from one second to the next. However, it can also be a bit of a misfire. Profit loss can occur due to simple slippage. Just like traditional stocks, the value of Bitcoin can change from the time you place the buy order to the time the order is processed.
Also, Bitcoin transactions can take up to 6 hours to be fully confirmed on a given day. This is uncommon, but you cannot guarantee the exact timing of any cryptocurrency transaction. And so, in those 6 hours, the price of Bitcoin can change. (That means that exchange A is no longer selling Bitcoin for $1000 a few hours later, for example.)
You also need to take into account commission and transaction fees from the exchanges. If you pay a 2-5% commission from one exchange to the next, your profit decreases.
As mentioned, arbitrage works when you know the cryptocurrency markets well and have been trading for a while. This is not for the green trader. Why? Because all of your trades need to happen in a matter of moments. So, you need to know exactly what you are doing. But if you do, then there are profits to be had!

Home More advice Politics & Law
It isn't tradition, it is just reality. I just looked it up, The US is 11th and and South Africa is 21st in marijuana use. Even higher than Netherlands where it is legal. So I still think you probably do know people who smoke it, but you just don't know they do. And please, I mean no disrespect. I am merely trying to make the point that marijuana is extremely common in many countries, even where it is illegal, like the US and South Africa.
I've always wondered that, too. I heard that there were 420 chemicals in pot, but apparently that's not true. According to articles I read, a bunch of kids in California in the 70's coined the term when they decided to go find some unattended marijuana plants right after practice. Guess what time that was? 4:20. From then on it become the codeword for smoking. Here's the article I found this from: http://funadvice.com/r/3mh0t0a3ha
I never even heard of 420 until decades after I last smoked. For us the biggest day of the year to partake was thanksgiving. Oh man, a whole table full of delicious food and the munchies. Those were the days.
It originally referred to the time of day, and not the date. It was supposedly the time of day that responsible smokers would wait till before smoking.
i believe it is national weed day or something like that. so it is a big deal for those that do do weed and such. :0 i could be wrong.
It's a bob marley thing, like singit4daworld said. But they do a lot of dr*gs on that day... I find it strange but owell :P
it started in Cali some high schoolers would say 4:20 meaning they would meet at the school and smoke. its dumb really.
Who ever thought of this idea should be recognize as a historical figure.....lol
I don't think that the traditions in my culture is the same as American culture.
All I no is that it has something to do w/ bob marley. I don't remember da rest
Do they do weed on this day? I don't know of a single person doing weed.
I seriously doubt that. You just don't know they do it.
I seriously doubt that. You just don't know they do it.
Annie is right! Happy 4.20 everyone!

I usually really enjoy the summer group shows as a nice way to see work from some artists I've missed during the season, and get a sense of the big picture. This time, on my admittedly quick and incomplete runthrough of Chelsea, I was struck by a pervasive sense of depression -- a sort of hunkering down waiting for the present to be the past -- very low energy to the point of apathy. One of the few high points I encountered was at Cheim & Read, where an intriguing exhibition titled Female Gaze: Women Look at Women presents a wonderfully diverse group of work by women with women as the subject.
The premise of the exhibition is a re-imaging of femaleness, and the assumption that there is a different dynamic that takes place between the artist and subject when both are women. While this premise may be a little nebulous, and not necessarily evident in some of the work, it has nevertheless served as a great catalyst for the gathering of powerful works in a variety of media by some great artists. There is the famous and rarely seen early Lynda Benglis video piece called Female Sensibility, a solid Alice Neel portrait, and a surprising Cezannesque early Joan Mitchell academic nude. Other outstanding pieces include a wild Marilyn Minter, a Ghada Amer thread piece, and a sensuous Julia Margaret Cameron portrait. As for the premise -- whether by a man or a woman, these images are still objectified, eroticized, and subjected to the viewer's gaze. There is however a different kind of eroticism here. The subjects almost always look straight back at the viewer, asserting a self possessed presence and control. There is still a distinct vulnerablity within the dignity of these women, it's just that their vulnerablity is not in their femaleness, but in their humanness.
For a beautifully comprehensive tour of the Female Gaze exhibition, go to Joanne Mattera's blog.
This exhibition is an interesting elaboration on last month's show at Cheim & Read, recent paintings by Chantal Jaffe. While owing a deep debt to Alice Neel, Jaffe possesses a freewheeling facility and a frankness that distinguishes her among figure painters. Her compositions are often surprising, and her images are built out of slabs of juicy oil paint. Sometimes self-portraits, and sometimes portraits of friends, her images possess a blank disinterest while staring right at us.

I loved this lighthouse… there aren't many lighthouses painted as vibrantly as this! This one is located at Sydney's South Head, it's an 800mtr walk from Camp Cove parking area. I arrived a little later than I would have liked so I will definitely be heading back here for another sunrise shoot soon! enjoy….

Nintendo Switch Online Regular Libraries Add Tilting, Farming, And Unlocalized Famicom Game
It took us about ten minutes to figure out what the NES game is.http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/63895/nintendo-switch-online-regular-libraries-add-tilting-farming-and-unlocalized-famicom-gameThe system libraries for the standard tier of Nintendo Switch Online - the NES, Super Nintendo, and Game Boy (Color) have added new games tonight.Game Boy ColorBlaster Master: Enemy Below (2000) was the third release in the recently-revived side scrolling action series from Sunsoft, though it was not released under that name in Japan. Although the sprites and backgrounds are similar to the original NES game, the maps are remixed.KIrby Tilt 'n Tumble (2001), promised in the initial reveal of the Game Boy library, was a Kirby game whose cartridge contained an accelerometer and was controlled by tilting and rotating the GBC.Super NintendoHarvest Moon (1997) was one of the first farming sims, and the first game in the Bokujo no Monogotari series that currently lives on under the Story of Seasons branding. The year long farming RPG was previously released on the Super Famicom library for Switch.Nintendo Entertainment SystemMystery Tower (1986) is a new localization of a Namco-created game known in Japan as "Tower of Babel". A puzzle platformer, it features a character who has to avoid monsters and use L-shaped blocks to create stairways that lead to 64 exists in order to escape (presumably) the biblical Tower of Babel.
Wooo!!! Kirby Tilt N Tumble and Harvest Moon SNES!! Finally, some good games for the online apps. Hit the road, Mario Advance series! You too Pokemon Colosseum! Looks like I still won't be starting up Tears of the Kingdom for another few more weeks!
I don't miss the days of arcade/NES games not telling you how to play them, especially since Nintendo doesn't bother including digital instructions (unless i'm missing them) and I don't think I should have to look online to figure out how to play the games. I gave up on Mystery Tower in about 2 minutes (why does any game have a suicide button?). Blaster Master: Enemy Below is boring and not fun. I'm sure Harvest Moon is fine, but I always get bored by those type of games. I have never played Kirby Tilt 'n Tumble, I might try it.

Irvine, CA — Mitsubishi Digital Electronics America's 2009 line of Premium Flat Panel TVs, branded Unisen, feature a fully integrated 16-speaker Dolby Digital 5.1-channel surround system. The Unisen 2009 line-up will feature screen sizes ranging from 40 to 52 inches.
"Mitsubishi is a very unique television brand, and in a virtual sea of flat-panel TV offerings, so too is our new Unisen Immersive Sound Television," said Frank DeMartin, vice president of marketing, Mitsubishi Digital Electronics America. "Unisen was built upon the principle of uniting world-class video imagery with fully integrated immersive sound technology to streamline and efficiently enhance the consumer's home theater entertainment experience. Coming off the heels of our 2008 introduction of the world's first Laser TV; LaserVue, our 2009 line of Unisen TVs are yet another prime example of Mitsubishi's ongoing dedication to consistently deliver the most innovative television products to the market."
Conceived and built with MDEA expertise and precision, this revolutionary immersive sound television features 16 intelligent speakers that direct perfectly balanced audio waves beside and behind the user to reproduce 5.1 surround sound and create an unparalleled entertainment experience. Through the use of an advanced algorithm, the sound technology delays the sound beams and projects them independently from the 16 speakers at varying intervals, to create fully immersive surround sound.
Upon initial set-up, the user can enter specific room dimensions into the on-screen graphical interface, or simply utilize the calibration microphone to calculate and set the sound beams for optimal sound within the specific room environment. The user can also adjust the direction, location, and sound levels for each of the five surround channels. The output level for the sub woofer is also directly controllable from the remote control.
With a simple user interface and audio supported by both HDMI and digital audio inputs, Unisen is designed to deliver optimal sound in typical room settings and supports easy connection to DVD and Blu-ray players.
Mitsubishi Unisen TVs combine ultra compact design and advanced video performance to deliver a gorgeous picture, in a beautifully crafted display. Each model features a New UltraThin Frame design delivering a frame measuring less than one inch, advanced Smooth 120Hz Film Motion for viewing of fast and slow moving programs and Enhanced Color. Every model features wide color gamut backlight technology to reproduce approximately 25 percent more color than most LCD-TVs. All Unisen models are EnergyStar 3.0.
"This is sound the way it was meant to be heard — effortless and true to life," said David Naranjo, director, product development, Mitsubishi Digital Electronics America.

'Twilight': Taylor Lautner Recalled His Most Passionate Fan Encounter and It Involved a Tattoo
The Twilight movies have always had a pretty substantial fan base thanks to the eponymous book and its three sequels: "New Moon", "Eclipse", and "Breaking Dawn." While the books became international bestsellers, the fan base only expanded with they were turned into major movies. Not only did the films make hundreds of millions of dollars for Summit Entertainment, but they also made the three main cast members: Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, and Taylor Lautner household names.
Throughout the four years that the Twilight movies were being filmed and released, Pattinson, Lautner, and Stewart, were easily three of the most recognized celebrities on the globe. The actors could scarcely take a trip to Starbucks without being accosted by the paparazzi. While Pattinson had experienced a taste of this immense fame by way of his role of Cedric Diggory in the Harry Potter franchise, the constant attention was foreign to Stewart and especially Lautner, who didn't have as many acting credits as Stewart.
Taylor Lautner on how he handled the fame that the 'Twilight' movies brought him
But how the Twilight cast try to remain some semblance of normalcy after stumbling into fame so quickly? In an interview with Collider, Lautner revealed that it was important for him to be around people who knew and loved him before he became Jacob Black. The actor added that he wasn't as exciting as fans assumed him to be.
"It definitely is about surrounding yourself with family and the friends that you've known forever," the Twilight star revealed. "All of us live in two completely different worlds, and they are complete opposites. This is our job. We go to work and live in this business world, and then we go back to our regular world. We do the same things we did before. We're not that exciting. We sit home and watch American Idol every Tuesday and Wednesday, and spend time with our family and friends. I think maintaining that world is extremely important."
Lautner reveals his most intense fan encounter on the red carpet
No matter how hard Lautner tried to maintain some semblance of normalcy, he still had his fair share of intense fan encounters. Lautner made sure not to refer to any of his fans as "crazy", instead choosing to describe them as passionate. So what was his most passionate Twilight fan encounter? Lautner revealed that it involved his signature and a permanent tattoo.
"I would say they're just passionate," Lauter stated, citing his Twilight fans. "I was just in Australia about a week ago or so, at this big fan event, and there was a red carpet. There were 4, 000 fans and I was walking down the line, and fans like to hold out their hand or arm for you to sign. This one arm I went by had a massive tattoo of the Wolf Pack tattoo. It was a real one, and it was pretty cool. She was like, 'Can you sign it?,' and I was like, 'Sure!' So, I signed right underneath it and, the next day, somebody told me that the girl got my signature tattooed right underneath the Wolf Pack tattoo. I didn't know whether or not to say that was cool or feel bad that I signed her arm. That's definitely some passion there."
There is renewed interest in 'Twilight'
Clearly, Lautner and his fellow Twilight castmates dealt with some pretty committed fans. And while the mania around Twilight has dwindled over the years, "Midnight Sun" and the fact that all five movies are currently streaming on Hulu, have certainly sparked new interest and conversation.

- Microsoft is planning a massive visual makeover for its Office 365 suite of apps that could roll out to users in the coming years.
- The proposed design changes aim to increase the productivity of users while providing smarter features to help with day-to-day tasks.
- The main change concerns the iconic ribbon that sits atop Office apps. The simpler menu can be undocked and repositioned and will reveal items based on context and workflow.
There's no productivity suite as popular as Microsoft's Office, even with alternatives available from Google and Apple. Microsoft has continuously evolved the Office suite, adapting it for any screen size and operating system. Whether it's iPhone, Android, PC, or Mac, you can enjoy the same set of Microsoft 365 features and pick up right where you left off. But Microsoft is now working on a massive visual makeover for the Office apps.
According to Microsoft, these changes will improve the way you work in Office. One of the most significant changes coming to Microsoft 365 apps concerns the iconic ribbon that sits atop the window providing quick access to tools and features you may need while working in Word, Excel, or PowerPoint.
Microsoft's corporate VP of design and research Jon Friedman laid out the company's plan in a blog post on Medium. Microsoft is adapting to the new realities that govern everyday life, the executive explains, and that includes the ongoing novel coronavirus pandemic that has forced so many people to work from home. Office apps have played a major role during this time.
Over the next couple of years, Microsoft aims to deploy some of these changes, which should improve the way you work while using Office suite apps. Microsoft's focus is on increasing focus with this update — pun intended. The company wants to reduce distractions, and that includes transitioning from a ribbon that may seem intimidating at first sight to a simpler, smarter experience.
"The next wave of Microsoft 365 UX changes will go even further by fading brand colors from app headers and exploring adaptive commanding," Friedman said, explaining that the new, flexible ribbon "progressively discloses contextually relevant commands at the right time just where you need them."
The ribbon won't be static, and you'll be able to move it around, which could help with productivity. By being able to predict the options you might need depending on the context, the ribbon menu could be more efficient and less cluttered. Friedman also said that Microsoft is upgrading its "cross-suite Search to bring relevant information to your fingertips."
Artificial intelligence (AI) should also boost productivity, and Microsoft is evolving Cortana to be able to assist in Microsoft 365 apps by leveraging the power of information. Cortana will understand context and relationships among topics, content, and people and assist you with individual app experiences. "Excel will catch errors as you write formulas," Friedman said. "It can also collect existing errors and store them in an easy-to-find place so you can correct them when you're ready. In Planner, we're exploring how AI can auto-suggest end dates for tasks based on their descriptions, which is akin to how Forms currently leverages AI to auto-populate questions based on the title you entered."
From the looks of it, Microsoft plans to make all these features available across all platforms, so you'll be able to continue your work on a smartphone, tablet, or desktop while using Microsoft 365 apps.
Future updates will also include better security, Friedman explained, including the ability to protect documents and prevent accidental shares and leaks. "Security measures may prevent documents from being hacked, but that's moot if an overeager coworker shares a confidential file," he said. "We're designing experiences that empower file owners to communicate levels of sensitivity to others so you can collaborate with confidence and control what people can or can't do within documents."
Some of these plans and designs could change, as Microsoft will start rolling out some of the new features within a year or two. Other functionalities are still "exploratory" and might take even longer than that.

AHN Students Attend an Assembly on the Importance of Standing with their Sisters
March 31, 2017
On Monday, March 27, founder of Sister Soldier, Patricia Ottaviano came to Academy and spoke to the student body about standing up for each other and girls supporting each other. Ottaviano founded the nonprofit after being a victim of bullying in middle school. History teacher, Lori Kearney, taught Ottaviano at her old school in New York and decided Ottaviano's message was important to be shared at an all girls school.
The nonprofit's mission is "to alleviate the pain caused by the often mean and hurtful ways that girls treat on another and treat themselves. Our goal is to empower girls with kindness, self-love and acceptance, ultimately changing the way they view themselves and view each other."
Ottaviano shared a powerpoint that taught the girls about the importance of handling friendship disputes with kindness and to not bring the other girls down. She also shared three bad habits girls need to break to reduce bullying and unnecessary fighting. The three bad habits are:
- Fear of speaking face-to-face
- Getting other people involved
- Expect our friends to be mind readers
Ottaviano also brought a poster pledge in for the girls to sign. The pledge said, "We pledge to have each other's back."
She gave the students a compliment card, an apology card, and a pledge card. Both the compliment and the apology card were meant to be given to another student who you wish to compliment or wish for their forgiveness. The purpose of the pledge card was to make a choice to promote kindness during this month, Bully Prevention Month.
Lizzie Dolan said, "I would say it was definitely things we heard before and was pretty much boring, but really at the end of the day, it worked. Maybe the topic wasn't super interesting, but I've heard three amazing stories of people apologizing for the way they've treated other people horribly in the past. Surprised it worked? Yeah I am. But happy we had it? Yes. I actually saw a lot of change. It was nice."
The Class of 2019 took her message about creating a compliment page on social media to alleviate the negativity to heart by making their own compliment page on Instagram. The page posts a picture of a different girl in the grade every day and other girls compliment her in the comments.
Ottaviano wanted the main take-away from the program to be that the things that are happening in our lives now do affect our lives later.

Mammals discriminate temporal "shape" cues in speech and other sounds but the underlying neural pathways and mechanisms remain a mystery. Shape cues include the rising and falling slopes and the duration of change in the sound envelope amplitude over time and are critical for sound perception. The auditory cortices are essential for behavioral discrimination of temporal cues and yet the neural mechanisms underlying this ability remain unknown. Primary (A1) and ventral non-primary auditory cortical fields (VAF & SRAF) are physiologically and anatomically organized and specialized to represent distinct spectral and spatial cues in sound. The current study investigates cortical field differences for encoding envelope shape in sound.
In the present study, we ask whether A1, VAF and SRAF could utilize spike rate, distinct temporal spiking patterns, including onset and sustained components, to discriminate sound shape. To address these questions we computed a discrimination index based on the spike distance metric. We find response durations and optimal time constants for discriminating sound shape increase in rank order with: A1 < VAF
To address the question of whether spike rate or spike timing contributes to this discrimination, a Naïve Bayes classifier was used to classify spike trains with varying sound shapes. In all three regions spike times resulted in significantly higher correct classification based on spike times than spike rates. Together, these results indicate that the three regions can discriminate sound shapes and that this ability stems from spike timing.

Would have sent people on Haj for free had Pakistan not had debts: Imran Khan
Imran Khan has been at the receiving end of severe backlash - most of it from opposition parties - after his government withdrew the subsidy given on Haj for this year, on January 31.
Trending Photos
At a time when Imran Khan is facing an uphill task in trying to revive Pakistan's crumbling economy, the PM has said that he would have sent people for Haj free of cost had the country not been under the burden of debts.
Khan has been at the receiving end of severe backlash - most of it from opposition parties - after his government withdrew the subsidy given on Haj for this year, on January 31. Many have questioned the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf-led government for getting rid of the subsidy in an Islamic state. It a bid to shield his government from the onslaught, Khan pointed the accusatory finger at previous governments. "If you hadn't left the country in this condition (and) if we didn't have so many debts, then we would certainly send pilgrims (to Haj) for free," he was quoted as saying by Dawn. He also blamed the previous governments for being oblivious to the country's debt which, he claimed, had gone up from Pakistani Rs 6,000 billion to Pakistani Rs 30,000 billion in 10 years.
Khan further said that while his government is sensitive to the needs of people, it is also committed to taking Pakistan out of its current economic state.
Khan won the elections in August of last year on the back of the promise of fighting corruption and poverty. To many, it seemed like an arduous task but supporters maintain that expecting an overnight miracle is unfair. Pakistan has been in talks with the International Monetary Fund for yet another bailout package while it has also been looking at China and Saudi Arabia for financial assistance.
