The final touch are the Swarovski between the jet-black hair. Rated 8. Roberto Thanks you were great. (source: Vanity Fair) Elena Di Ciocco
Roberto, whose gentleness and kindness are almost equal to his skill ... With love Mara Carfagna
Well what to say ... we live in a world where perfection is all, unfortunately ... to give the best and to feel sure of yourself it takes a magic touch ... I want someone who will pamper and take care your image is ... since I was 14 I meet people who are trying to turn me: make me weird hairstyles, to make me look like what they are not. Hair colors never before seen tricks that make me 10 years ... the biggest secret to being the most beautiful is just to be themselves, to enhance their beauty does not seem to someone else, keeping their "origins". well, .., Roberto has done it ... it's one of the few wizards who can make you beautiful, fashionable but at the same time simple and sexy! Pamela Camassa
Make a judgment in a few words about Roberto is not easy, especially because, besides taking care of my hair, it has become a true friend. Once I spoke good because it knows how to interpret exactly what I want for my image, because it has never missed a cut or a color, because it uses only top quality products. Why is it always available; Today, in addition to all the enormous quality professional certfiicate also by his personal success, I must add that it is an extraordinary person with a big heart, and this is no small thing. For the day of my wedding I turned to him and for this special day, we opted for a hairstyle very sophisticated with her hair completely collected. "Pull the front, and with a bun very swollen on the back of the head. Was to dominate the hairstyle: no veil, no flowers ...". Roberta Capua
You are the No. 1. Due to the brightness, the brightness that your colors add to my hair and my smile. With the deep affection of a dear friend. Antonella Clerici
Really complicated operation to deal with the head. The more they do it with their hands, few are able to use the heart and the brain. Sure, it's only hair we're talking about, a frame-say-but if you mess up, spoil the whole: a beautiful picture can lose value. Roberto put your head safe. Its secret is the unique craftsmanship, what makes the difference is his feeling. With modesty, simplicity and a very strong human charge, never coy or complacent, Roberto tries to figure out who has to face in order to study the image more suited to that character or that condition, who are tired of the usual menage, those who want a hairstyle is important because is about to experience a special moment. Comply with the fear of change, ready to suggest, it takes desire, transgression. It is not the coiffeur of provocation, but does not get tired of trying new ideas. Hard to find a professional who puts the update in the first place. Roberto participates in international seminars, competitions, product launches. It is informed on new trends, it continually tests. In his studio, which opened with courage alone, a little more than twenty years. Everything is always taken care of, from the penalty spot cleaning, fresh flowers, scented shampoo and natural creams. Defects? Two great: too available, too modesto.Bisogna love him to be able to forgive ... Carmen Lasorella
A friend like Roberto is impossible to find ... with a lot of sympathy, but especially so, so much affection. Daniela Fini
Who is Roberto Carminati? The first answer that miviene in mind: a friend. Then I say, "and no. Roberto is my hairstylist of confidence." So you do not become friends because Roberto is fashion or is "in", Roberto friend it gets really, I now know him for a lifetime, and I could not change. The thing I like best about Roberto is the choice of hair color. In this I have always called a magician: he like me does not like strong colors, they know they fake, but the natural colors, with particular highlights, simple but absolutely never dull. To cut instead the problem is that I would never want to change, and then he is forced to modificarmelo a little at a time ... almost make me notice it. That is why our partnership lasts a long time and, I hope, will last for a lifetime. Manuela Lucchini
To my dear friend Roberto, a great hairdresser and also a nice person. with affection. Alessandra Martines
Dedicated to Roberto as well as the artist's hand is precise, safe, stroking the strings and charm in the air goes up the melody, so careful in your hands, with your creativity, your vibrant irony, with your heart, my image of the diva shot yesterday, the diva of today, with the color so bright you make me attractive and that the cut is scaled or shorter does not count, the miracle is done! The real magic is found to have you, my dear Robert! with affection. Donatella Pandimiglio
To Robert, with love. Victoria Silvestedt
From an early age, on the knees of her mother, stroking her hair pondering how to change the look. Why is this story of the "mothers whitening" just did not go down. The girls at school the first "test" and then off to ambitious horizons. Initially forced to make difficult cohabitation with the "gurus" hairstyle has been able to understand the secrets without acquiring the flaws and so now Roberto Carminati is for many of us the mirror more sincere. The one who can advise not force his hand, which suits your hair to your head and forces you if you do not feel, to psychoanalytic sessions to accept your new image. So read your mind knows, guess what you want. because it is not only a hair salon, a hairdresser, an expert look. It is above all a friend, who takes you there. Ivana Vaccari
Roberto is first and foremost a friend and a person of great sympathy. Professional about it, I would not be very reliable, I leave that to compliment him hairstyles are more credible than mine. Massimiliano Rosolino
Roberto invented for me "rossoCarminati." For me .... and for all its Rosse. Roberto generous, always there when you need him, Roberto "Debut" 'cause he gets excited when he knows he should do about your hair a special job, with that emotion that only boys know how to try; he, a professional for many years. Roberto and me '"azzurrocielo", color is not replicable on the hair. Not blue, and that 'fashion. He 's one more thing. No clouds, no thoughts, lightly; with joy. Kiss Rob, thank you. Paola Saluzzi
Since Roberto came into my head ... my hair is less rebels. Sara Varone

In an effort to increase understanding about the pressures, processes, and prospects for transitions, Portland State University Assistant Professor of Political Science Lindsay Benstead and her colleagues Ellen Lust, Dhafer Malouche, Gamal Soltan, and Jakob Wichmann established the Transitional Governance Project.
The Transitional Governance Project has conducted public opinion polls, qualitative interviews, and electoral result analyses in several in the Middle East and North Africa to study:
- People: How women, youth, and minorities are affected during transitions and are assisted during the implementation of targeted policy intervention
- Political Processes: How to establish support for and promote the development of strong political parties and electoral systems
- Identities and Ideologies: The role that ethnicity and religion play a role in transitional societies and how membership in these groups affects access to resources
With a goal to inform policymakers engaged in improving governance, the Transitional Governance Project shares findings through political party trainings, meetings with government officials and NGOs, and publications.
Recent publications from the Transitional Governance Project

SoftCom Partners with Switch and Data to Focus on Growing its Web Hosting and Business Communication Services
TAMPA, Fla. - November 9, 2009 -- Switch and Data (NASDAQ: SDXC), a leading provider of network-neutral data center and Internet exchange services, announced today that SoftCom Inc., the leading provider of Web Hosting and Business Communication services has relocated its data center operations to Switch and Data's 151 Front Street facility in downtown Toronto. SoftCom has decided to move its operations from a carrier's datacenter and expects to benefit from improved cooling capacity to scale its operations, a choice of providers for better redundancy, and improved performance and reliability which will allow it to focus IT resources on new product development and customer support.
SoftCom was founded in 1997 and is committed to providing premium web hosting, online collaboration, and business communication services at a superior value. Through its myhosting.com and mail2web.com brands, the company serves 2.5 million users in 140 countries worldwide with a focus on strong customer service. SoftCom provides services in a highly-competitive market and views customer retention as key to its success. An important element of SoftCom's strategy was to align itself with a leading data center operations provider to free up its IT team to focus on customer deployments and introducing new services.
"We chose Switch and Data as our data center provider because it is best in class," said Mark Salerno, Vice President of Technology at SoftCom Inc. "Customers trust us to host their corporate email, websites and e-commerce products and expect the highest level of service with no downtime. By working with a leader in Switch and Data, we are able to focus our IT team's time higher up the service stack, serving customers and developing new offerings to keep them satisfied and loyal." SoftCom was using a carrier to provide a bundled data center transit solution. It was compelled to move after its carrier was unable to provide additional cooling capacity to scale its deployment. This was causing a variety of challenges that consumed a remarkable amount of its IT staff's time to manage. After an extensive evaluation, SoftCom chose Switch and Data's 151 Front Street Toronto site due to its reputation for resiliency and reliability, its high density power and cooling design, and the ability to access multiple Internet transit providers to add redundancy to its design.
"Our relationship with SoftCom is indicative of our focus to provide our customers with the capacity they need to grow and the service they need to satisfy their own customers," said Ernie Sampera, Senior Vice President and CMO for Switch and Data. "Switch and Data works with managed service providers (MSPs) like SoftCom to better understand and address the industry problems they face. Furthermore, our attention to customer service enables MSPs to provide the highest level of customer service addressing the ever-changing demands of their customers."
Switch and Data's 151 Front St. Toronto data center provides enhanced resiliency for SoftCom's infrastructure with resilient and redundant cooling, UPS and generator systems plus 24x7 site security, environmental and infrastructure monitoring, and technical support. The site offers plenty of room for growth and has been designed to provide high-density power and cooling for the latest generation of servers.

Last week was a whirlwind for BlackBerry® developers. BlackBerry 10 Jam was the official launch of the BlackBerry 10 platform to the developer community – SDK's, tools, and of course the BlackBerry 10 Alpha device.
This was a moment we'd been working toward since before DevCon Americas in the fall. I know there was a lot of pressure to show a phone last fall, but until the SDK's were ready, and developers could actually use them, there would have been little point. Instead we steadily built first the BlackBerry® PlayBook™ OS 1.0 SDK, the PlayBook OS 2.0 SDK, and the PlayBook OS 2.0 software release, knowing full well that these releases, accompanied by the over 20,000 BlackBerry® PlayBook™ tablets we had seeded into the market, would be a good foundation for the next phase – the actual BlackBerry 10 devices.
The excitement in the air was palpable. Folks started lining up at 7 AM on Wednesday morning to get the first Dev Alpha devices. And by noon, I couldn't walk the hallways of the show without someone stopping to show me the code they had been working on.
Since then we've been bombarded by requests for BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha devices from developers who didn't make the show. The good news? We're going to take the show on the road – so come jam with us in a city near you. Check out the BlackBerry Jam Road Show page for more info.
A couple of thank you's are in order. Thank you to the developers who came to the BlackBerry 10 Jam last week – you're investing your energy, time, and money in making not just your own products successful, but ours as well. Also a very public thank you to all the teams at RIM who have worked for months to pull the BlackBerry 10 Jam off – the developers, product managers, marketing, and of course our very own developer relations group. Thank you!
Now go code something! We've got a monster of a product to ship together!

Coiba National Marine Park
Coiba National Marine Park consists of the island of Coiba (the largest island in Central America) and 37 surrounding islands and islets, all of which are about 30 miles off the Panamanian coast in the Gulf of Chiriquí. From 1919 to 2004 this island was a penal colony and quartered political prisoners and some of the most dangerous criminals in Panama. Known as Panama's Devil's Island, the government closed the penal colony in 2004, and turned it into the largest marine park in Central America. UNESCO named Coiba National Marine Park a World Heritage Site in 2005 [1] identifying more than 800 marine species in the waters surrounding the park.
Coiba is known for its superior diving and was recently said to have the best diving "to be found along the Pacific Coast from Columbia to Mexico" according to Lonely Planet.the world." [2]
Get in
Though its remote nature has helped to preserve the flora and fauna, it also served to deter visitors. It is about an hour long boat ride from the coastal town of Santa Catalina or two hours from the fishing village of Boca Chica, but most travelers rely on tour operators to reach the island. This journey's inconvenience is negligible, however, compared to the opportunities for scuba, snorkeling and sport fishing Coiba offers.
Scientists from the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute have proclaimed Coiba an unparalleled destination for discovering new species. Rachel Collin, a Smithsonian project coordinator said, "It's hard to imagine, while snorkeling around a tropical island that's so close to the United States, that half the animals you see are unknown to science." [3] Its unique location protects it from the damaging winds and other effects of El Niño, allowing it to sustain the uninterrupted evolution of new marine species including whale and tiger sharks, sperm whales, sea turtles, angel rays and giant schools of fish. It is also the last refuge for a number of threatened terrestrial animals such as the crested eagle and several sub-species of agouti, possum and howler monkey (including a Coiba Island Howler Monkey). The park is gaining a reputation for being what the Moon travel book calls a "Garden of Eden"; touting the second largest coral reef (Bahia Damas Reef) in the Pacific.
The only overnight facility available in the Coiba National Marine Park is at the ANAM ranger station on Isla Coiba [4]. The station has several modest 2 room cabins with air conditioning. There are resorts and hotels close enough to make Coiba a day trip, like Gone Fishing[5] and Seagullcove [6], located near the fishing village of Boca Chica (considered to be the go-to place for fishing in the Gulf of Chiriqui) that offer comfortable bed and breakfast experiences in moderate price ranges. New luxury resorts are planned for locations in the Gulf of Chiriqui in the next few years, like the Resort at Isla Palenque [7] and Playa Grande [8].
There are no restaurants at Coiba National Marine Park. There are a few restaurants in Boca Chica: Wahoo Willy's, located in the town's small port area, and at the local Inns, Gone Fishing[9] and Seagullcove [10].

Mini Olabelhe and Asking Your Opinion. . .
24 comments:
- Karen said...
Personally, I think it's a great idea! How many little girls love to have their dolls match them? I would go for it!!
- February 14, 2013 at 10:35 AM
- Grandsie's Sew Busy said...
Oh YES! Please. Love your patterns. And matching for dollie is awesome!
- February 14, 2013 at 12:44 PM
- Stephanie said...
I love the idea of matching dresses but for me it would depend on how expensive the doll pattern was. I hate to say that bc I know that a lot of work goes into putting together but when I can get Liberty Jane patterns for about $4.00 I'd have a hard time paying $9.00 for them here. Again its not that I don't love the idea or think you are hugely talented bc I do but I wanted to also give you my honest opinion.
- February 14, 2013 at 12:49 PM

PLEASE THIS grannie has dolls that would LOVE dresses like in your style!
- February 14, 2013 at 1:14 PM

My 30 year old daughter got Kirsten for her 7th birthday. I made her matching outfits for her and Kirsten for the next 4 years. We just bought a Madame Alexander play doll for our granddaughter. I made her her first matching outfits. I found it hard to find patterns when I started to look that I wanted to make for Rowen. I would love for you to make copies of your dress designs. I remember how much my daughter loved to be dressed like Kirsten. I want to be able to do that for Rowen. I do agree with Stephanie though. I can't pay the same price for one of these patterns as I do for one of the regular ones. Plus this would only be one size. I appreciate your talent, I really do. I just can't go into debt to make matching outfits.

I like the idea of doll patterns. I'm just afraid you'll quit designing Great, Age Appropriate, Fun, Modern patterns for adolescent girls. That's what drew me to follow your blog & patterns. To see what was next. I understand your need to be relevant. To invent the next best thing to keep your company profitable. I'd just like to leave you with an old saying: Dance with those that Brung ya.

I mean, who can forget your great Steampunk dress, or Olivia, or all the other great designs you've done. I'd just hate to lose out to doll clothes.
- February 14, 2013 at 3:40 PM
- kathy said...
I love when patterns come with the doll size as part of the range of patterns. I think that is a great option. Pdf patterns are too pricey, imo, to buy just for dolls. There are so many great paper patterns for a buck or two. So, unless it is included with the girl pattern, I would not buy. But it is a great idea to include it!
- February 14, 2013 at 3:48 PM
- Samantha Murray said...
Yes, yes and yes. I have been drooling over your doll clothes for days. I personally would prefer your patterns over what is already out there as the fit is better and the style is cuter. I'd like to see both the historical and mini me patterns. I would be happy to pay whatever you charge for them because I think they are worth it . My daughter is getting Caroline for her birthday in June so I'd love to see some dolly designs from you by then.

- Ronda said...
I would love to have matching patterns. I made several doll dresses for my grandaughters last Christmas and they loved them and I used many of your existing patterns (I just shrunk them down made a few nips and tucks and Wha la) my girls loved them. I think I sent you a note and encouraged you to sell them last year. I wonder if you have a matching doll pattern instruction for a few $$ more with each pattern purchase? Hmmmm lots to think about. Thanks for sharing your talent with us.

- jackiep1975 said...
I think the doll patterns are a great idea--hopefully you would offer them as a pkg deal with the dress pattern or a stand alone price and I agree I would not like to pay $9 for a doll pattern no matter how much I love your designs

Should you? Would you? I LOVE the idea of matching little girl's outfits with their dolls. I hope you start doing that for us! TOTALLY AWESOME!!
- February 18, 2013 at 11:29 AM

I too would love the doll dresses but could not afford a great deal for them. Your ideas are wonderful and we have been tweaking existing patterns to try to get them to look like my daughter's Olabelhe dresses!
- February 19, 2013 at 11:20 AM
- Jim Reed said...
I would love for you to do doll patterns! The one's you have made are awesome! I love the patterns you make for little girls and I would love to be able to dress my dolls in them. The doll clothes you have made already are prettier than the ones out there. I would certainly buy them!

I just purchased a child's dress pattern and a pattern for a matching doll dress came with it. I am sooo eager to make these for my granddaughter! My granddaughter is going to be sooo thrilled when she gets her new dress AND a matching dress for her doll. So...obviously, I think it's a grand idea!
- February 24, 2013 at 6:33 PM
- kathy e said...
I would definitely buy a precious doll dress pattern from you! And I've read several comments that say $9 is too much to pay for a pattern--but I've tried a few of those expensive doll dress patterns, and they have generally been far superior to the standard patterns. So my vote is to add a few doll dresses!

Currently, most Scottish individuals and organisations use .com or .co.uk domain names for their websites and email. The dotSCOT campaign is aiming towards the introduction of a new top level domain, namely .scot, to give Scots worldwide a unique identity online.
An application to ICANN has been submitted on behalf of all Scots for the right to set up and run the registry for dotSCOT.

Because Why Wouldn't Weed Be Totally Legal in North Korea?
For such a notoriously repressive regime, the DPRK's Democratic Front for the Reunification of the Fatherland party is surprisingly lenient when it comes to enforcing drug laws. According to a report from Big Buds, visitors to the Hermit Kingdom return with tales of cannabis and opium use that is not only legal but socially accepted as well. The green grown there may just be indigenous ditch weed but it's still a valued commodity among North Koreans—so much so that many citizens are reluctant to discuss the subject with foreigners for fear that the country may become "the next Amsterdam." But, you know, without all those pesky human rights. [Big Buds]

When the Zombies Come
Like The Office (but, you know, not insultingly trite), this short mocumentary from Jon Hurst follows a band of ACE Hardware employees as they stave off the soul-crushing boredom of having to work at ACE Hardware by preparing for a hypothetical zombiepocalypse. The film will make its big screen debut at Sundance but you can catch it now on YouTube.
Gimme Shelter - Rolling Stones
The Rolling Stones thought they were doing good, giving folks in the San Francisco Bay Area a free concert at Altamont Raceway in December 1969. However, the decision to trade the Hell's Angels unlimited beer for their security services was, in retrospect, probably not the best of ideas—what with the stabbings, beatings, deaths, and generalized mayhem that comes with mixing 300,000 hippies and a large contingent of bikers. Gimme Shelter, a feature length documentary by Albert and David Maysles and Charlotte Zwerin premiered in 1970 and takes an unblinking look at how things escalated so quickly. I mean, that got out of hand really fast. [Open Culture]

Known for its talus caves and granite spires, Pinnacles National Monument in Central California last week was elevated to national park by President Obama. The 26,000-acre park east of Monterey between the 101 and 5 freeways claims another distinction too: It's now the smallest national park in the state.
So what changes with the new status? Not so much, really. "We'll have a name change and more recognition from the visiting public, nationally and worldwide," park ranger Nichole Andler said Monday.
The ancient volcanic field will pretty much look the same as it has since it was first named a national monument in 1908. It's not a drive-up park you can experience by car; indeed, there's no road that connects the park from east to west.
For visitors who want to see what's special about the nation's newest park, Andler suggests these must-sees best explored on foot:

Cisco Unified MeetingPlace - Application Server Hotfix Installation FAQ
From DocWiki
This page will provide information required to successfully install hotfixes on Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Application server. Here you will find answers on Frequently Asked Questions in regards to transferring files to MP Application server, decompressing files, moving them to the appropriate location, verifying hotfix file integrity, installing the hotfix, rolling back, etc.
Cisco MeetingPlace hotfixes and patches are now distributed through a Hotfix/Patch Installation Package format with a lightweight installer. The Patch Installation Package is provided in a gzip file with this filename pattern: MP<major_release_number><maintenance_release_number>_<hotfix_number>_<component_name>_<full_version_number>.bin.gz where:
- major_release_number --- The major version of the software (for example, 8.5, 8.0, 7.1 shown without dot).
- maintenance_release_number --- The MR number (for example, MR1, MR2,...).
- hotfix_number --- Current HF number for given component.
- component_name --- Name of the component: APP, Multinode(ConfMgr, Admin, bcl, and other Java components). Applicable for Audio Only deployments and Outlook component.
- full_version_number --- Full version number without dots (188.8.131.52).
Example: MP85MR2_HF2_MultiNode_85419.bin.gz
Patches and Hotfixes are developed on top of a full installation version.
The Patch/Hotfix Installation Package is cumulative. For example, HF3 package contains all the fixes included in HF1 and HF2, as well as new fixes in HF3. In order to ensure the stability and consistency of the overall installation, installing patch/hotfix with, for example, number 5, causes all earlier patches/hotfixes (from 1 to 5) to be installed.

The Daniels and Fisher Tower
We are just a few years away from the centennial of one of Denver's most iconic buildings. The Daniels and Fisher Tower at 16th and Arapahoe Streets opened to the public in early 1912 but began construction in 1910. Modeled after the Campanile in Venice, Italy, the building was the tallest structure west of the Mississippi River upon completion. It was designed by the architecture firm of Sterner and Williamson. The hour hand is eight feet long and the minute hand is 6 feet long--designed by the Seth Thomas Clock Company. Its construction marked a new era not only in Denver's retail scene but in its architecture. Daniels and Fisher was the department store of choice in Denver until it merged with the May Company in 1957. The building was soon abandoned for new digs in the newly created May D&F Department Store located at Zeckendorf Plaza at 16th and Court Place.
The Daniels and Fisher Department Store had its roots in the very beginnings of Denver; the tower epitomizes the quick growth of Denver, having been constructed just shortly after the city celebrated its 50th birthday. William B. Daniels started his store in 1864 on Larimer Street. He was later joined by William Fisher in 1872 to form Daniels and Fisher. Daniels son, William Cooke Daniels, took over the helm in 1891.
The tower's beauty was under-appreciated as the decade of the 1960's began and with the Skyline Urban Renewal Project in full swing, the old department store's days were numbered. Miraculously, the tower was saved but the rest of the department store was gone by 1971. The red brick scar on one side of the tower shows where it used to be attached to the rest of the department store. The year 1971 was a big year in preservation awareness in Denver as the battle lines were drawn. Some successes included the continued preservation of Larimer Square and saving the Molly Brown House. But other battles were lost, including the loss of the Moffat Mansion at the northeast corner of 8th and Grant.
The comic below shows the complacency of most of Denver during this time and how close we came to losing the D & F Tower as well. Even though this comic was drawn in 1965, it was not enough to provoke the city into changing course on preservation. We might have been able to have had a few more preservation success stories such as saving the Tabor Grand Opera House, knocked down in 1965, but the planets did not align. Perhaps if the successful State Historic Fund had been present in those years, more money would have been available to shore up and preserve other structures long forgotten and since demolished but certainly worthy of being left for posterity!
The top photo is from the Denver Public Library's Western History Collection. The editorial cartoon was created by Pat Oliphant of the Denver Post.
Post Script: For regular readers, I apologize for delays in posting. If I had eight hands, it would be better! However, the past months have been extremely busy and therefore, successful, in the walking and bus tour business, especially as related to Haunted Denver!!!

Today we are excited to announce the release of the brand and campaign management solution template for Twitter. Imagine you are an event manager who has spent the past few months planning a conference, lining up speakers, and coordinating catering, venues, and transportation. The big week is approaching, and you want to make sure everything goes smoothly. You want to understand what is well received and respond to negative sentiment immediately. You want to recognize which topics related to your event are trending and how those change across time. You want to find your biggest influencers, fans and critics.
Now imagine that you can set up sophisticated analytics that could answer all those questions for you in the space of five minutes.
Our new brand and campaign management solution template will help you do just that. Whether you manage an event, product, or marketing campaign, you can use our template to quickly and easily do analytics on top of Twitter data. All you will need to get started are Twitter credentials, the search terms you want to track, and an Azure subscription. (Don't worry if you don't have one – we help you get started with a trial as well).
Getting Started
The first part of our experience is an installer that guides you through setting up a solution template. We prompt you for Twitter and Azure credentials, and ask you for the search terms in which you are interested. All that is left to do now is hit Run, wait a few minutes for the pipeline to get set up, and download a Power BI Desktop file that comes with pre-defined reports.
Behind the scenes, the solution template spins up a total of three Azure Services:
- A 'Logic App' that pulls Twitter data in real time
- An 'Azure Function' that enriches each tweet using machine learning
- An Azure SQL database which comes with a pre-defined schema for your Twitter data
As soon as the solution template gets spun up, Logic Apps will start scanning for new tweets and you should almost immediately see data appear inside your Power BI reports.
Exploring the solution
The Twitter template originated from an amazing collaboration between the solution template team and Microsoft researchers. (You can learn more about the work of the principal researcher, Chris White, here). Microsoft researchers have spent time creating a 'Social Command Center' and authoring sophisticated custom visuals like the network graph below (snapshot taken from solution template reports):
The Twitter solution template leverages a number of components from the 'Social Command Center' and packages them up for users to easily consume. Reports like the one above allow users to effortlessly explore networks of interconnected authors and hashtags. It becomes easy to organically spot patterns of trending topics, and slice data by authors and time.
The data has also been enriched through natural language processing techniques like sentiment analysis. This means we can help users quickly identify areas of concern, such as authors who are consistently posting negative tweets about campaigns or products. You can even drill down into the raw tweets thanks to the awesome 'Strippet Browser' visual created by our favorite Microsoft research team.
Every part of the solution template is also completely extensible and customizable. We have Partners who are fully skilled up in the brand and campaign management solution who can help you out today. This means if you have additional requirements – whether it's to mash up data from other sources like Facebook, enrich the data using ML techniques like entity extraction or correlate your data with campaigns — they can all be achieved by either engaging our Partners or tweaking things yourself!
Try it out & let us know
Go ahead and check out the Twitter solution template by visiting our page. You can play around with an embedded sample report that tracks Power BI, or watch a video that walks you through each report page. Finally, you can set things up by clicking the Install Now button. Please give it a go and let us know what you think. You can reach the team by e-mailing us at firstname.lastname@example.com or leaving a comment on the Power BI Community page for solution templates.

I, for one, support what Moira Johnson is doing.
According to The Huffington Post, Johnson, an exotic dancer by night, has by day been walking around New York City topless to advocate a woman's right to go shirtless.
This is an equal-rights issue, you see. Johnson and other topless lasses want to know why men are free to trot around shirtless anytime, anywhere, but women are not. After all, men have breasts, too.
But maybe Johnson has a point.
Where upper-torso nudity is concerned, maybe there is a double standard, and maybe we need to shed it like some old T-shirt, as we have so many outmoded standards of the past.
It wasn't long ago that women were expected to stay at home and attend to the needs of men. But nobody thinks this way anymore.
In fact, many men these days prefer that their wives work and make a boatload of money. They see no shame in staying home with the kids and clapping the first time Junior uses the toilet to do No. 2.
It used to be that women were expected to be soft and feminine, much like actresses in the old movies, but that's no longer true.
Women's professional basketball is as exciting and competitive as any male sport. Women now have their own professional football league. And on ESPN, professional female boxers do things to each other that make Mike Tyson look like a Quaker.
It used to be that women needed husbands to have kids, but that's no longer true, either. Famous women who have dough are not only shunning husbands; they think they're better off without them.
We men are stinky and hairy. We mess up the bathroom. We make loud noises when we eat. We snore when we sleep.
Regrettably, though some women might think they're better off without us, we don't fare so well without them. We find ourselves waking up in a pile of dirty laundry and newspapers, still clenching the tequila bottle we began drinking from three days earlier.
In these modern times, then, is it right that American society tolerates men walking around shirtless without extending this same basic freedom to women?
After all, many attractive European women are allowed to go topless. Sure, they don't frequently bathe or shave their armpits, but you can't have everything.
Perhaps this topless thing is just another example of our rigid thinking, in which we hold an opinion on how women should act without really thinking it through. So let's think it through.
What if more American women conducted their daily business topless? I assure you that would prompt me to get out of the house more often. I'd spend every waking moment, to quote the great Dean Martin, "standing on the corner watching all the girls go by."
Besides, many towns, including New York City, have no laws on the books that say it is illegal for women to walk around topless. Johnson was arrested for her topless protests, but the cops had to let her go.
In any event, as many Americans sit idly by while their government strips away all kinds of freedoms � such as a religious organization's freedom to not have the government tell it what health insurance plan it must buy � I suppose someone standing up for any kind of freedom is a good thing.
So I support all lasses who go topless on International Go Topless Day, which is today. Because the freedom to go topless might soon be one of the few freedoms we have left.

BATAVIA – The Neuqua Valley baseball team used scoring outbursts in the first and the fifth innings to hold off a seventh-inning rally from Batavia and gave the Bulldogs their first loss of the season, 7-5, in an Upstate Eight Conference crossover Monday.
Neuqua Valley (7-3, 4-1 UEC Valley) started the game by scoring two runs in the first off Bulldogs starting pitcher Emilio Tenuta. The runs came off an RBI double by shortstop Matt Wollnik, who later came around to score on a single by catcher Alex Wolanski.
Neuqua added another run in the top of the fourth before the Bulldogs (8-1, 3-1 UEC River) started a rally of their own.
The scoring started in the bottom of the fourth when Andrew Siegler grounded to the first baseman and scored Luke Horton from third. Then, with one out, catcher Dino Simoncelli added an RBI single and later scored on a sacrifice fly to the second baseman, who made a diving, over-the-shoulder catch.
Batavia coach Matt Holm said his team showed resiliency as they responded to an early 3-0 deficit to tie the game at 3.
"If they would have added to that [lead] right away and had a bigger inning I think we would [have felt] a lot more pressure," Holm said. "What I was worried about more was the response to that. I feel like Tenuta did a nice job to get himself out of a couple situations after that and didn't get backed into a corner."
But the Wildcats used timely hitting late in the game to regain the lead in the fifth with four runs off lefty reliever Jacob Piechota (2-1). Tenuta gave up three runs in 41/3 innings. After Piechota retired the first batter he faced, the Wildcats strung together five straight hits with the final blow coming from third baseman Drew Sterioti, who plated two with a single.
Trailing 7-3 heading into the bottom of the seventh, the Bulldogs started to mount a comeback.
After Colby Green reached on an error by the second baseman, Green scored from first on a triple off pitcher Matt Butler by outfielder Laren Eustace. Reliever Cody Coll came in and allowed Eustace to score on a sacrifice fly from Billy Zwick before striking out Robbie Bowman to end the game, getting his first save of the season.
Wildcats starter Johathan Vik scattered five hits and allowed three earned runs in six innings to pick up the win.
Neuqua Valley coach Robin Renner said his veteran hitters battled in the sixth to give his team the lead.
"The momentum after they scored the three runs was clearly in their dugout … but we talked about the really good at-bats that we put together in the fifth inning," Renner said. "We have three, four seniors … that's what they were supposed to do, and they did it. It doesn't always happen like that but we got it done today."
Neuqua outfielder Josh Piotrowski went 4 for 4, while Batavia's Eustace and Zwick had two hits each.
Eustace said the seventh inning rally showed the heart of his team.
"Once they scored in the fifth, we were kind of dead for the next few innings, then we just battled back," Eustace said. "We never gave up, we were always in the ballgame. That's a good thing because if you're always in the ballgame you're going to win a lot of games."
Batavia returns to action on the road today against Metea Valley.
