A critical part of my role at Zalaris focuses on helping HR market analysts and other influencers understand our core value proposition and strategic direction as well as our products and services. What I mean relates to their coverage of the company, that they understand our solutions, the differentiators, where we're headed and how we compare to competitors.
At our Team Zalaris 2018 Kick Off in Oslo, this aspect of my responsibilities was among our focus areas as it pertains to what we collectively do across all operations. Everyone at Zalaris contributes to our reputation, and together with the rest of the management team, we connect with external experts to learn from them and vice versa.
The effect of influencers and advisors is undeniable, and I'm not speaking just about the benefits to Zalaris. It's about ensuring these third parties review and accurately report about our offerings, so you, our customers, have independent perspective to support decision making.
Case in point: NelsonHall recognizing Zalaris for a second consecutive year as a top provider of cloud-based HR services. This highly respected market analyst also just published a new report that cites Zalaris as a leader in next-generation payroll services.
More Than What Meets the Eye – or Ears
Sure, we can tout all of what we do in lots of ways (and we do), but you'll probably agree that independent views and validation make a profound difference. And this value runs even deeper than you may think.
By regularly communicating with influencers and advisors, we acquire extraordinary insight about the entire HR/HCM/payroll marketplace…what all players are doing and not doing, where we have opportunities for improvement and new ways to advance our value.
Strong rankings and commentary from the likes of NelsonHall certainly add to our confidence and the overall awareness of Zalaris throughout the world, but what matters most is our ability to listen. That begins with our customers, of course. We routinely gather this input both formally and informally. When combining what you have to say with the observations of external influencers and advisors, we gain a more well-rounded knowledge base to fuel our future.
Speeds & Feeds vs. Art & Science
HR is the type of profession that takes more than mere processing speeds and feeds to be successful, although transactional HR isn't going to disappear. On the other hand, those bearings always deserve close consideration in conjunction with more strategic HR demands. By focusing on all things HR, Zalaris appropriately and effectively addresses corresponding challenges, including increasingly complex regulatory requirements such as GDPR right now.
So, whether you're outsourcing payroll or other aspects of the HR function, the reality is you're in our sweet spot. That's not going to change. Where you're looking to grow, innovate or maintain competitive edge is probably very different, despite the common denominator that people are going to chart the course and ultimately lead or affect the outcomes.
You can trust we'll do our part by staying on top of the HR nuances as well as the big picture, and that we don't do it alone. It's a collaborative process with customers that also extends into our partnerships.
Regardless of what you have in mind, you'll have peace of mind with us. And you don't have to take our word for it. Although we may not be a household name, a growing number of HR BPO analysts and advisors are speaking up about Zalaris – and we hope you do, too.
Sven's responsibilities at Zalaris focus on value creation and go-to-market strategy for the company's cloud HR/talent management business as well as its global advisory relationships. He joined the company in 2014. You can follow him on LinkedIn Sven Hultin and Twitter @klingerii.

Sanca takes Half Marathon win in stride
A native of Cape Verde who came to this country halfway through his life when he was 12 years old, Sanca ran away with Sunday's 34th Annual New Bedford Half Marathon, finishing first overall with a time of 1:05.25.
"I don't really feel that tired. I had a lot left at the end," said Sanca, who lives in Dorchester and had a pre-race meal consisting of a bagel with peanut butter and jelly and a cup of hazelnut coffee. "The course was fair. It wasn't a fast course, but it wasn't a slow course."
A member of the Boston Athletic Association, Sanca took the lead in the first mile and never relinquished it. He ran most of the race all alone and was able to build a sizeable advantage that allowed him to coast to the finish line in front of City Hall on Pleasant Street and take the top prize in a record field of 2,750 registered runners that eclipsed last year's total of 2,603.
Sanca, who was wrapped in the Cape Verdean flag by supporters after crossing the finish line, was 1:33 quicker than runner-up Daniel Vassallo (1:06.58), who won the 2010 Philadelphia Marathon and represents the Adidas New England Running Club.

It has taken me a little while, but I am finally going to do a little recap on the NCAA Basketball season that was. A team that started the season hot, ended it hot. The Florida Gators won their first 17 games (including preseason NIT) and then won their final 10. The Gators were never ranked #1 all season (their first loss came as #2 on the same day #1 Duke lost), but definitely showed up at the right times. 4 of their losses came to teams that did not even make the Tournament (S. Carolina) or lost in the second round (Tennessee).
The NCAA Tournament may not prove who is the best team, but who is playing the best the last 3-4 weeks of the year. I am not downplaying Florida's Championship because they dominated the Tournament with an average margin of victory in the double digits. Basketball has a much better system than College Football. I would say on any given night, Florida could have beaten UConn, Duke, and most defintely Villanova or Memphis.
It is still very early, but looking ahead to next year Florida looks poised for another memorable season. All of their players have said they want to come back. The main one I would be concerned with if I was a Gator fan is Joakim Noah. Noah is saying all the right things right now, but lets wait and see after the agents are done whispering in his ear; his stock will never be higher than it is right now. I hope Joakim stays because I love college basketball. If he goes to the NBA right now, he sits for the next 2-3 years.
Other teams that should be near the top are North Carolina, UCLA, Ohio St, and Kansas. Many other teams (Texas, UConn, Duke, LSU) hopes will depend upon who of their young phenoms decides to stay in school.
This year was an up and down one for my predictions. I finished the Tournament on a slide at 17-9. As for the season, I was a respectable 113-55 (67%) with a strong finish after a weak start.
Start looking for some Spring football coverage coming up. Early favorites for the National Title are Ohio St, Notre Dame, and Oklahoma!

It's been a while since my last post. A lot has happened since – Thai bliss in Koh Samui and moving to a new flat back in London.
I am currently so knackered it beggars belief. More so than the unforgettable sleepless baby nights.
Jet lag + moving flat in record time + looking after baby =

This morning I was literally lying on the floor unable to move and Amazing M was crawling up and down my body and planting kisses over my face.
I promise x 5 that once I have fully recovered I will post up pics of M's Dol, Thailand and our new flat.
Thank you all for a great time in Sydney. Miss you already!

Guest Conductor
Robert Moody begins his tenure as Principal Conductor of the Memphis Symphony with the 2016-17 season. He has been Music Director of the Winston-Salem Symphony (North Carolina) since 2005, Artistic Director of Arizona Musicfest since 2007, and Music Director of the Portland Symphony Orchestra (Maine) since 2008.
Moody's 2015-16 season included debuts with the Vienna Chamber Orchestra and Columbus Symphony, as well as return engagements with the Memphis and Pacific Symphonies, and the Oklahoma City Philharmonic.
Recent guest conducting appearances include the Chicago Symphony at Ravinia, and the Los Angeles Philharmonic at the Hollywood Bowl, in addition to the symphonies of Toronto, Houston, Indianapolis, Detroit, Seattle, Ft. Worth, San Antonio, Buffalo, Louisville, and, in Europe, the Slovenian Philharmonic. Summer festival appearances include Santa Fe Opera, Spoleto Festival USA, Brevard Music Center, Sewanee Festival, Eastern Music Festival, PortOpera, and the Oregon Bach Festival.
Equally at home in the opera pit, Moody began his career as apprentice conductor for the Landestheater Opera in Linz, Austria. He has gone on to conduct at the opera companies of Santa Fe, Rochester, Hilton Head Opera, and North Carolina Opera. He also assisted on a production of Verdi Otello at the Metropolitan Opera, conducted by Valery Gergiev, and at The English National Opera, where he was Assistant Conductor for Kurt Weill Street Scene. He made his Washington National Opera and North Carolina Opera debuts in 2014, and he conducts Bartok Bluebeard's Castle, Leoncavallo I Pagliacci, and Poulenc Dialogues of the Carmelites during 2016-2017.
Moody served as Associate, then Resident Conductor, of The Phoenix Symphony (AZ) from 1998 through 2006. There he conducted a wide variety of concerts, including Classics, Chamber, Pops, Family, Handel's Messiah, and the New Year's Eve gala. His ability to speak with ease from the podium helped new converts to classical music and enthusiasts alike to gain a greater appreciation for orchestral music. Audiences at his concerts grew considerably during his time in Phoenix. Moody also founded The Phoenix Symphony Chorus, and for seven years was Music Director of the Phoenix Symphony Youth Orchestra.
Prior to Phoenix, Moody served as Associate Conductor for the Evansville (IN) Philharmonic Orchestra, and Music Director (and founder) of the Evansville Philharmonic Youth Orchestra. Moody conducted the first professional performance of a work by the brilliant young composer Mason Bates, now Composer-in-Residence with the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, and was instrumental in the commissioning and premiere performances of several of Bates' important major works for orchestra.
Moody's work can be heard on several commercially released compact disc recordings. He collaborated with the Canadian Brass for their Bach and Legends CDs; he is also the conductor for the CD Fourth World, highlighting the music of Native American recording artist R. Carlos Nakai (available on the Canyon Record label); and in 2010, the Winston-Salem Symphony released their performance (live from 2009) of Beethoven's Symphony No. 9. A DVD of Beethoven Symphony No. 9 with Arizona Musicfest was released in 2012. Recently, he was honored to conduct on the "Cancer Blows" concert with Ryan Anthony, members of the Dallas Symphony, and a host of trumpet luminaries, to aid the fight against Multiple Myloma. CD and DVD recordings of that live concert, held in Dallas, TX in March 2015, are now available for purchase.
Guest Artist
American pianist Maxim Lando has been described by Berkshire Fine Arts as having an "ever so clear approach to the keyboard, and the molding and shaping of phrases straight from the musical angels". Maxim's concerts and collaborations have recently brought him to the international stage, with invitations to perform spanning from across the globe.
In 2017 at the age of fourteen, Maxim performed Rachmaninoff 3rd Concerto with the Mariinsky Theater Orchestra in Saint Petersburg. The concert was featured and received rave commentary on the popular Russian TV Kultura program Tzar's Box. Maxim also had the great honor to perform at Carnegie Hall's Opening Night Gala Concert together with Lang Lang, Chick Corea, and the Philadelphia Orchestra led by Yannick Nézet-Séguin in an unprecedented three-pianist rendition of Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue. ZealNYC described the concert as "A 'Rhapsody' for the ages," noting "the three highly individual artists achieved an astounding musical synergy." Other highlights of the year include debut performances with Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra and Vancouver Symphony Orchestra; a concert with Tchaikovsky Grand Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Vladimir Fedoseyev, televised nationally on TV Kultura in Moscow; a collaboration with violinist Julian Rachlin on the Stars and Rising Stars series in Munich; and a performance at the historic Grand Opening of Steinway and Sons in Beijing. Maxim has also performed with the Russian National Orchestra, Moscow Philharmonic Orchestra, Kazakh State Philharmonic, and will make debuts with Toronto Symphony, Hawaii Symphony, and Israel Philharmonic Orchestra later in the season.
Maxim's recent solo and chamber music concerts include notable venues and festivals such as the National Center for Performing Arts in Beijing, Kissinger Sommer in Germany, Ravinia Festival in Chicago, Louis Vuitton Foundation in Paris, Dinard International Music Festival in France, Jupiter Symphony Chamber Players in New York, and Jay Pritzker Pavilion at Chicago's Millennium Park. A frequent guest artist in Russia, Maxim has performed at the Tchaikovsky Concert Hall, Bolshoi Theater, VDNH Green Theater, Moscow International House of Music, Mariinsky Theater Concert Hall, and the Moscow State Gallery of A. Shilov.
Dedicated to making classical music accessible to his own generation, Maxim has been featured performing and talking about music on CNN's Best of Quest, NPR's From The Top, BR Klassik's On Stage, Russian TV-Kultura, BBC Radio 4, WQXR, CNC News, as well as television talk shows in Italy, Armenia, and Kazakhstan. He has performed on numerous occasions together with Lang Lang, and performed a concert on one-day's-notice with violinist Alissa Margulis at Music Fest Perugia in Italy (filling in for pianist Ilana Vered). A huge fan of Sing For Hope's mission, Maxim was honored to serve as a last minute replacement for superstar Lea Salonga at the 2017 Sing For Hope Gala.
Maxim is a Gold Medal winner of the 2017 Berliner International Music Competition, and received the 2016 Audience Prize at Carnegie Hall from the prestigious Musical Olympus Foundation. In 2015, he was the first American ever awarded the Gold Prize at the International Television Contest "Nutcracker" for Young Musicians in Moscow, Russia. He received Second Prize at the 2015 Kissinger Klavier Olymp in Germany, and in 2014 won the Juilliard Pre-College Concerto Competition.
Maxim is an Artemisia Akademie Fellow at Yale University, an alumnus of the Lang Lang International Music Foundation, and a student of Hung-Kuan Chen and Tema Blackstone at Juilliard Pre-College.

By Henry Umoru
Senator Peter Nwaoboshi, a lawyer, was the political adviser to former Delta State Governor, Chief James Ibori and the Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the state. He currently represents Delta North in the Senate and Chairman, Senate Committee on Niger Delta Affairs.
In this interview with journalists, Senator Nwaoboshi spoke on allegations made against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, that he perpetrated fraud in the execution of the N2.1 billion contract awarded his company, Biderberg Enterprises Limited by the Delta State Government in 2010, among others. Excerpts:
WHAT is your reaction to the N2.1billion contract fraud allegation levelled against you and your brother by the EFCC?
This is the first time I am hearing about this probe. And that is what we have always said that the EFCC needs to be overhauled. Why? Because I spoke up against EFCC. The other day, I spoke about (Professor Itse) Sagay that is why you are hearing all this type of thing; you didn't hear it before. But as a Nigerian, I will speak out.
My friend Dino will say, 'You speak the truth you die, you lie you die'. I am the wrong person to be taken on because I will keep on speaking the truth. My people sent me here to speak on their behalf.
Supply of equipment
Now let me take issues that they have raised. They said there was a contract of N1.5 billion for the supply of equipment to Ministry of Works and Ministry of Environment. The question I ask Nigerians, who is complaining after seven years? Is it the Delta State Government or by a crooked petition by some individuals to malign me?
I was a director in Bilderberg Enterprises Limited before I became a senator. And I was not a government functionary. I was not working in government at the time. I am not in a position to award contracts. But I must eat. And so, I have my own companies. Delta State Government advertised the contract, the company in which I have interest tendered for that contract and was awarded the contract after due process was followed by the Tenders Board of the Delta State Government.
The records are there. When the contract was awarded to us, we brought the equipment from China. And what I hear now is that the equipment were used equipment. The manufacturers of this equipment are alive. The serial numbers of these equipment are there. EFCC can contact the manufacturers in China with the serial number of the equipment to find out whether those equipment were second-hand or fairly used.
Because the company did not buy any of the equipment from the open market. The company paid directly to the manufacturers of these goods in China and the manufacturer manufactured and shipped the goods to Nigeria.
So, if you want to know whether these equipment were fairly used or not, go to the manufacturer, find out the date they were manufactured, find out with the serial number, when it was shipped to Nigeria when the Delta State Government took possession of them.
I have called the manufacturers in China and they said nobody asked them any question, nobody has written to them but what they want to do is to malign my name. We did not only sell to Delta State Government, we sold to individuals who wanted to buy all these equipment.
We have in our possession report from the Ministry of Works certifying the equipment as brand new equipment. We have documents in our possession engineers from the Ministry of Housing, Environment, Direct Labour Agency, Auditor-General of Delta State certifying that these equipment are brand new equipment. They did not obtain these certificates from Delta State Government, all they want to do is malign me in the newspaper.
Multiple bank accounts
This is what we have been talking about, you prosecute people in the Press, run them down before you go to court. They have already found me and my brother guilty before charging us to court, even before interrogating us.
Even the other issue reportedly raised by EFCC as regards multiple bank accounts by my brother is ridiculous because there is no law in the land that limits the number of bank accounts any individual in the society should have.
What will the Senate do about this, coming 72 hours after it suspended confirmation of 27 RECs?
I speak for myself. I leave it for the Nigerian people to judge. I have given you the companies. You are free to go and contact them. I have nothing to hide. We have nothing to hide in the company.
We do business and we stand by the business and we have nothing to hide while I was there. Although I am no longer a director of that company.
Will it not be better for you if you calm down in your opposition to the presidency?
For me, I don't have a problem because we will go to court. You cannot stop me from saying what I believe in. What I believe in, I will say. And I said what I said on the floor of the hallowed chamber as a lawyer that if the power of confirmation resides here and that power of confirmation or rejection has been exercised, the appointing authority should do the needful.
That's what I said and that's what I'm supposed to say. Nobody will say when they were questioning (Ibrahim) Magu, you heard me ask Magu question. I didn't ask Magu question.
But if the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria takes a decision on a matter, it is binding on the whole members of the Senate.
Does that mean that you insist that Senate decision should be upheld on Magu's sack?
What are you talking about? I am a senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. It is an institution that I must protect. I will leave here tomorrow, I wasn't born a senator.
Assets declaration
I am a teacher, lawyer, businessman before I became a senator. And so, senators come and go, but the institution of the Senate must be defended.
Did you declare the property in your asset declaration form?
If I did not declare those things in assets declaration, that is the job of Code of Conduct Bureau. That's not EFCC's matter. Let CCB go and look at my asset declaration form and find out whether I declared those things or not. How does that concern EFCC? If I have made a declaration in asset declaration form, there is a body that is supposed to investigate what I have declared. They will invite me and I will explain to them the position.

It's been nearly two months since Kevin Durant shocked everyone with his decision to leave Oklahoma City Thunder to join the Golden State Warriors. Although his move has been questioned by many, and could play a role in a future NBA culture shift; the move is a done deal as the new season fast approaches. Suddenly, a summer that seemed promising is now completely different for the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Luckily, they still have a superstar in their ranks: the one and only Russell Westbrook.
As the unquestioned leader of the Thunder who revamped their roster this off-season, Russell has the entire league excited as his newfound role has him slated by many to be an MVP favorite. To see how Russell plans to takeover the NBA, check out the video above.

Gravesites will go on sale at Pleasanton's Pioneer Cemetery on Sunol Boulevard starting Oct. 1, with 400 plots available until they're all sold.
No new gravesites have been available at the historic cemetery for the last two years when the city government acquired the grounds from the International Order of Odd Fellows, which developed the cemetery in the 1800s.
But being buried at Pioneer won't be cheap. Where graves once sold for less than $1,000, the city has raised the price for its new graves to $10,198 for a single double-vault plot that will hold full burials for two individuals, and to $4,277 for double urn burials for two individual cremains.
Both burial plot prices include prepaid burial service fees customarily charged by cemeteries. Funeral home services, including caskets and urns, are separate.
In a letter sent to those who have expressed an interest in buying plots at Pioneer, Susan Andrade-Wax, director of Parks and Community Services, said that the maximum number of plots available for purchase is two per family, or four graves. The plots for both full burial and cremains are double-depth, stacking one on top of the other. Only ground-level headstones or markers will be allowed.
Once purchased, the gravesites cannot be re-sold nor will the city buy them back. If individuals who buy the plots find that the plots are no longer needed, they will remain empty unless they are deeded to another individual without charge.
Pleasanton residents can begin purchasing the gravesites Oct. 1 with the sites becoming available to the general public next April 1. Once the 400 plots—capable of holding 800 individual burials—are sold, it's expected that burial sites at Pioneer will no longer be available.
The City Council, in agreeing to buy Pioneer from the I.O.O.F., ruled that the cemetery will not be expanded beyond the new 400-plots now available and that the cemetery will remain largely as it is, with no irrigation system for watering grass. It also guaranteed perpetual care of the graves and cemetery maintenance for the next 25 years as least.
The city has contracted with Catholic Funeral and Cemetery Services to handle sales at Pioneer. To buy a plot or for other information, that services' agent is Jayne Archer, who can be reached at (925) 455-9696.

Sporadic bright colors strain against grimy walls to assert themselves in a contained life. We are brought into the 11-by-11-foot world of five-year-old Jack and his Ma in the film "Room."
Lenny Abrahamson's film adaptation of the national bestseller novel "Room" by Emma Donoghue is a tender yet powerful rendering of motherly love and isolation. With close and low shots, we see the world through the bright, wide eyes of Jack (Jacob Tremblay) that exists only in what he fondly refers to as "Room," where he lives with his young Ma (Brie Larson).
The film begins with Jack reflecting on how he entered the world, exactly five years ago, when he "zoomed down from heaven down from Skylight and shot out onto Rug with [his] eyes wide open." Since then, he has lived in this small space in which every item, like the garden shed that makes up the Room, has a name and is a friend. They, and he and Ma, are all real, not fake like everything on TV, and live in Room, outside of which is outer space and then heaven. Yet unlike Jack, to whom the Room is as large as the expansive emptiness of his wardrobe where he hides at night, for Ma, the Room is her prison cell of seven years, where she has been confined since she was kidnapped by Old Nick (Sean Bridgers) who keeps her for his nightly visits.
Jack tells us of the time before he came, when Ma "cried and cried and watched TV all day until [she] was a zombie." We see from the daily activities Ma does with Jack – physical exercise, reading, height-measuring – that Jack has given her a reason to live and to create life within confinement. But when Old Nick reports his sudden unemployment and Ma realizes the increasing limitations of Room for Jack, she reveals the truth to him about the outside: an endless world of hammocks, ice cream, dogs and grandparents. Ma devises an escape plan, and amid his processing of confusion and denial of a greater real Outside, Jack carries it out – a tense few minutes of unknown fate before mother and son are reunited again in the outside world.
As Jack tumbles out into the world, we feel its brilliance and vastness, fresh like the autumn leaves that blow around him, almost on the same level that Jack does. For the first time in the film, the angles widen; the colors have reason to be saturated. Yet with their freedom comes for Ma a barrage of problems from the past seven years: a family that has continued life without her; the overwhelming presence of others in a mental space that has been echoing for many years; a newfound sense of isolation in an occupied, time-bound world. It is Jack, with the plasticity of young children, who reminds Ma of the love that can be one's "Strong."
The first half of the film falls short of the novel in its monotony and long intervals of time marked by sparse dialogue and mundane descriptions of daily life. Additionally, although many scenes are shot with altered, contorted angles and wider dimensions that imitate what would be seen from a five-year old's perspective, for the majority of the film, the audience is, understandably, still viewing the events from a third-person perspective.
But the story's transformation from the page onto the screen is nonetheless beautiful and luminous. Larson's performance as a young woman worn down by seven years of desperation, yet still lucent with her furious love and dedication to her son, is deservedly praised. Tremblay's portrayal of the keen and spirited Jack brings Donoghue's story to life. Abrahamson has created a vivid work of art, and the world that we see in it gets brighter every day.

Advantage Online Help Gets a Facelift with 2010r2
Historically, online help in Advantage has been presented in compiled help (.chm) format. However, over time, Microsoft has introduced security controls that prevent users, in certain intranet scenarios, from accessing help files that use this format. To work within the MS Windows framework, the help files beginning with the 10R2 release will use HTML help (.htm) format.
The differences between .chm help and .htm help are as follows: 1) a slightly different user "look and feel"; and 2) whereas .chm help opens directly within the application, .htm help will launch a browser session for presentation of the content. When you open the online help from the Menu option in your Advantage session, Advantage will open the browser session automatically, and route to the website where the help resides. When you are finished consulting the help, you close your browser session. Everything is handled automatically by the application.
The standard table of contents, search, and favorites features will continue to be available in .htm help. Custom help will be available as well, but will work slightly differently than before. The delivered help files at 2010R2 will contain instructions on building and using custom help. As part of the migration to .htm help, the System Administrator manual, which was formerly kept as a separate Help menu choice, will now be offered as part of the merged online help with the other user manuals. (Please contact ACS if you have any security concerns with this approach.)

What Is TANI CPL – Hybrid Pass Up
Thank you so much for coming to us in looking for "What Is TANI CPL" online.
You've probably noticed this often where you often distribute the great word about crypto. It is not unstable? What happens when the cost accidents? sofar, many POS devices provides free transformation of fiat, relieving some issue, but until the volatility cryptocurrencies is resolved, many people will be resistant to hold any. We need to find a method to struggle the volatility that is inherent in cryptocurrencies.
For most users of cryptocurrencies it's not crucial to comprehend how the process operates in and of itself, but it is essentially vital that you comprehend that there is a process of mining to create virtual currency. Unlike monies as we know them today where Governments and banks can simply choose to print endless quantities (I am not saying they're doing so, only one point), cryptocurrencies to be operated by users using a mining application, which solves the sophisticated algorithms to release blocks of monies that can enter into circulation.
The physical Internet backbone that carries information between different nodes of the network is currently the work of several firms called Internet service providers (ISPs), which includes firms that offer long distance pipelines, occasionally at the international level, regional local pipe, which ultimately connects in households and businesses. The physical connection to the Internet can only occur through any of these ISPs, players like amount 3, Cogent, and IBM AT&T. Each ISP manages its own network. Internet service providers Exchange IXPs, owned or private firms, and occasionally by Authorities, make for each of these networks to be interconnected or to move messages across the network. Many ISPs have agreements with providers of physical Internet backbone providers to offer Internet service over their networks for last mile-consumers and companies who want to get Internet connectivity. Internet protocols, followed by everyone in the network makes it possible for the information to stream without interruption, in the right location at the perfect time.
While none of these organizations possesses the Internet together these firms determine how it works, and recognized rules and standards that everyone stays. Contracts and legal framework that underlies all that's happening to ascertain how things work and what happens if something goes wrong. To get a domain name, for example, one needs permission from a Registrar, which has a contract with ICANN. To connect to the Internet, your ISP must be physical contracts with providers of Internet backbone services, and suppliers have contracts with IXPs from the Internet backbone to connect to and with her. Concern over security dilemmas? A working group is formed to focus on the issue and the solution developed and deployed is in the interest of most parties. If the Internet is down, you might have someone to phone to get it repaired. If the issue is from your ISP, they in turn have contracts set up and service level agreements, which regulate the manner in which these issues are solved.
The benefit of cryptocurrency is that it uses blockchain technology. The network of nodes the make up the blockchain is not governed by any centralized firm. No one can tell the miners to upgrade, speed up, slow down, stop or do anything. And that's something that as a dedicated supporter badge of honor, and is identical to the way the Internet operates. But as you comprehend now, public Internet governance, normalities and rules that regulate how it works current inherent difficulties to the consumer. Blockchain technology has none of that.
A lot of people prefer to use a currency deflation, particularly people who want to save. Despite the criticism and skepticism, a cryptocurrency coin may be better suited for some uses than others. Monetary seclusion, for instance, is great for political activists, but more problematic when it comes to political campaign financing. We need a steady cryptocurrency for use in trade; If you are living paycheck to paycheck, it'd happen included in your wealth, with the remainder earmarked for other currencies.

It should be difficult to get more small gains (~ 10%) throughout the day. Study how to read these Candlestick charts! And I found these two rules to be true: having small gains is more lucrative than trying to fight up to the pinnacle. Most day traders follow Candlestick, therefore it is better to examine books than wait for order confirmation when you think the price is going down. Secondly, there is more unpredictability and compensation in currencies that never have made it to the profitableness of websites like Coinwarz.
The trades of Bitcoins are recorded in ledgers which are referred to as Blockchains. The ledgers use extremely sophisticated technology for them to work. The thought is quite straightforward than you think. The Blockchain enables two parties to create a smart contract. The contract can be created between two businesses in a platform understood

Here is the trendiest thing about cryptocurrencies; they don't physically exist anywhere, not even on a hard drive. When you take a look at a specific address for a wallet containing a cryptocurrency, there is no digital information held in it, like in the exact same manner a bank could hold dollars in a bank account. It is only a representation of value, but there's no actual tangible type of that value. Cryptocurrency wallets may not be seized or immobilized or audited by the banks and the law. They don't have spending limits and withdrawal restrictions enforced on them. No one but the owner of the crypto wallet can determine how their wealth will be managed.
Mining cryptocurrencies is how new coins are put into circulation. Because there's no government control and crypto coins are digital, they cannot be printed or minted to produce more. The mining process is what produces more of the coin. It may be useful to think about the mining as joining a lottery group, the pros and cons are exactly the same. Mining crypto coins means you'll get to keep the total benefits of your efforts, but this reduces your chances of being successful. Instead, joining a pool means that, overall, members will have a much higher chance of solving a block, but the reward will be divided between all members of the pool, based on the amount of shares won.
If you are considering going it alone, it is worth noting that the applications settings for solo mining can be more complicated than with a swimming pool, and beginners would be likely better take the latter path. This alternative also creates a steady stream of earnings, even if each payment is modest compared to totally block the reward.
The beauty of the cryptocurrencies is the fact that scam was proved an impossibility: due to the nature of the method in which it's transacted. All deals over a crypto currency blockchain are permanent. When you're paid, you get paid. This isn't something shortterm where your visitors can dispute or demand a concessions, or employ illegal sleight of palm. Used, most merchants could be wise to use a payment processor, due to the permanent nature of crypto currency dealings, you have to be sure that security is challenging. With any kind of crypto currency may it be a bitcoin, ether, litecoin, or some of the numerous different altcoins, thieves and hackers could potentially access your private recommendations and therefore grab your money. However, you almost certainly will never get it back. It's very important for you really to follow some great secure and safe techniques when working with any cryptocurrency. Doing this may protect you from all of these unfavorable events.

Reverse 3-Up – What Is TANI CPL
Bitcoin is the primary cryptocurrency of the internet: a digital money standard by which all other coins are compared to. Cryptocurrencies are distributed, world-wide, and decentralized. Unlike traditional fiat currencies, there's no authorities, banks, or some other regulatory agencies. Therefore, it really is more resistant to crazy inflation and tainted banks. The advantages of using cryptocurrencies as your method of transacting cash online outweigh the security and privacy risks. Security and privacy can readily be attained by simply being clever, and following some basic guidelines. You'dn't put your entire bank ledger online for the word to see, but my nature, your cryptocurrency ledger is publicized. This can be fixed by removing any identity of possession from your wallets and thereby keeping you anonymous.
Cryptocurrency is freeing people to transact cash and do business on their terms. Each user can send and receive payments in a similar way, but in addition they participate in more complicated smart contracts. Multiple signatures enable a transaction to be supported by the network, but where a specific number of a defined group of people consent to sign the deal, blockchain technology makes this possible. This permits progressive dispute mediation services to be developed in the future. These services could enable a third party to approve or reject a transaction in the event of disagreement between the other parties without checking their cash. Unlike cash and other payment systems, the blockchain constantly leaves public proof that the transaction happened. This can be potentially used within an appeal against companies with deceptive practices.
Since among the earliest forms of making money is in cash financing, it is a fact you could do that with cryptocurrency. Most of the lending websites currently focus on Bitcoin, some of those websites you're needed fill in a captcha after a particular time frame and are rewarded with a bit of coins for seeing them. You can visit the www.cryptofunds.co site to find some lists of of these websites to tap into the money of your choice. Unlike forex, stocks and options, etc., altcoin markets have very different dynamics. New ones are constantly popping up which means they don't have lots of market data and historical perspective for you to backtest against. Most altcoins have fairly poor liquidity as well and it is hard to think of a fair investment strategy.
Anyone can become a Bitcoin miner running software with specialized hardware. Mining software listen for broadcast trades on the peer-to-peer network and perform the appropriate tasks to process and verify these trades. Bitcoin miners do this because they are able to get transaction fees paid by users for faster transaction processing, and new bitcoins in existence are under denominated formulas.
Only a fraction of bitcoins issued so far can be found on the exchange markets. Bitcoin markets are competitive, which implies the price a bitcoin will rise or fall depending on supply and demand. Lots of people hoard them for long term savings and investment. This limits the quantity of bitcoins that are truly circulating in the exchanges. In addition, new bitcoins will continue to be issued for decades to come. Hence, even the most diligent buyer couldn't purchase all present bitcoins. This situation isn't to imply that markets will not be vulnerable to price exploitation, yet there is no need for substantial sums of money to transfer market prices up or down. The merest events in the world market can affect the price of Bitcoin, This can make Bitcoin and any other cryptocurrency volatile.

Development is a major component of regional growth, enabling a community to modernize by building better infrastructure to attract new business and investors, thus increasing the tax base. However, its also important to know how the vacancy rate of commercial properties fits into the equation. New property is going to be less desirable if it's surrounded by a whole host of vacant buildings. Long range planning of future development is contingent upon balancing these concerns and making sure that existing properties get filled while a proper amount of new development springs up to enhance and support the existing inventory.
Unfortunately, Putnam County doesn't track its vacancy rate. Usually this sort of data is used to keep track of significantly larger markets. New York City, for example, lists its 2nd Quarter 2012 office vacancy rate at 7.1%, while retail comes in at 2.2%. In Albany the numbers were 15.2% and 8.9%, respectively, and for Westchester, 18.0% and 8.2% (source: www.reisreports.com). In assessing the future of our county, and in determining what industries to attract to Putnam, it would seem valuable to have access to this same data. That way we can address potential concerns and factor the empty properties into plans for development and growth.
The Putnam County Chambers of Commerce is conducting a survey to help determine needs and wants for building sustainable industry clusters in our communities – available at putnamchamberny.org/public-survey.html or putnamchamberny.org/business-owner-survey.html . Ideally, new businesses will fill vacant buildings first and then move into newly-developed space; of course in reality there will be a combination of both. The end result will be an improvement in the economic conditions of our county, one way or another. As we utilize tools such as the survey and other available data, we are gathering vital data to help facilitate coordinated planning for our future.

We had seen pictures of people holding a sloth which is why we booked it. We were disappointed we didn't get to hold or see the baby. But the guide was very knowledgeable and fun. We love your zoo and all the growth you have going on, just wish we knew we weren't going to get to hold them.
- Maryanne
We enjoyed learning and actually touching the sloths however the price is rather steep. 10 dollars I think is a more accurate price. One of my sons has sloth as his favorite animal. Otherwise we would not have spent 80 dollars for the expirience.
- Donna
Needs to be more handicapped accessible, in parking lot and in the encounter. Otherwise we had a great time!
- Ben
The staff were all very friendly and welcoming! The zoo had a lot more to offer than I imagined, and everything about my experience from the staff, to the atmosphere, and the exhibits were overwhelmingly pleasant. I wish I would have arrived earlier to have had more time there, and I will definitely be back. Spreading the word as much as I can about what a great place this is to visit!
- Holly
I could not have asked for a better experience and at a fraction of the cost elsewhere. Joe gave us the opportunity to get up close and personal with the sloths, which were everything I dreamed they would be. Not only did we get the experience of feeding and petting Hokey and Pokey, but he made my dreams come true by letting me hold Flash. Nothing would have made this experience better. I love the Indian Creek Zoo and cannot wait to go back. Thank you Joe.

Emma Lazarus data science
In 1883, Emma Lazarus wrote "The New Colossus", one of the most famous American poems ever. In it, she imagines the Statue of Liberty overlooking the New York harbor and welcoming immigrants who are fleeing oppression.
You have, without doubt, heard this part:
"Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free"
They're genuinely stirring lines! American politicians and businesspeople love to quote them, because they beautifully evoke the image of America as a worldwide beacon of liberty. Listen to any speech about immigration, and you'll hear this passage.
But the poem doesn't end there. The Statue of Liberty goes on to describe, in more depth, the type of immigrants she's talking about. Let's extend the quote a bit further:
"Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore."
"The wretched refuse of your teeming shore." Now, that is a gut-punch of a line. (Purely as a matter of verse, the way those iambs land on the rhyming syllables of the first two words — the WRE-tched RE-fuse — is like a pneumatic naildriver. WHAM WHAM WHAM! I love it.)
But the point is, this additional line complicates the political picture a bit, doesn't it?
Lazarus is talking about people who have been immiserated, mistreated and impoverished. She's talking about those who've been through so much suffering it that can make them hard for comfortable folks to behold: Refuse. And Lazarus isn't using that word with contempt. She knew many refugees personally. But she understood how serious misery can render a migrant paradoxically unsympathetic to others. And she wrote the poem to turn that psychology on its head: Lady Liberty is specifically urging the despots of other countries to keep their fancy, gilded palaces — and instead, to send the absolutely desperate.
Now, US politicians and business leaders often ululate over the benefits of immigration. But often it feels like they focus on the immigrants who self-evidently would "benefit" the country: The scrappy entrepreneurs who'll come and start firms! The doctors and architects! The best and the brightest, the ones who understandably crave greater liberties! These politicians and businessfolk seldom seem as eager to embrace the truly desperate — the terrified, beaten-down ones that Lazarus wrote about in her poem: Those who today are fleeing the horrors of Syria, South Sudan, or the conflicts of sub-Saharan Africa.
And you can hear it, I think, in how politicians quote that poem. They'll very often piously cite the first part of that passage — but only rarely utter the second.
At least, that's how it seemed to me, as I read the daily news. Then I realized I could test my hypothesis … using Google's ngram. That's the tool that lets you input short strings of text and see how their usage has risen or fallen in books over the last hundred-odd years.
Now, you're only allowed to use phrases up to five words. So I took representative chunks of those lines — "masses yearning to breathe" vs. "wretched refuse of your" — and compared them. Voila:
Sure enough, you can see that the lines are quoted at nearly the same rate — until just after WWII, when they begin to diverge. The "huddled masses" become more and more memorable and quoted; the "wretched refuse" fall back. In this divergence we can spy a subtle shift in how America talks to itself about immigration. (You can see and tweak the actual chart itself.)
Granted, there are tons of caveats here, including: i) Google ngram itself. Word-incidence in books isn't necessarily a super meaningful metric of cultural change. (The books in ngram are global, not just American, of course.) Plus, ii) there might be other ways to chunk the lines that disproves or inverts these results. And more fatally yet, iii) some of the divergence may be a feedback loop. Once the "yearning to breathe free" line got a small early advantage in being-quoted-more-often, it could easily produce a cascade of success, because it would quickly become the only line anyone has ever heard from the poem at all. Latter-day quoters will thus be not so much ignoring the second line as simply unaware it even exists.
Still, I think it's a fun way to think about the changing meaning of this quintessentially American poem.
Oh, and: Other trivia about "The New Colossus"! One fun fact is that Lazarus wrote it to help raise money for building the base for the Statue of Liberty. And, man, did it need fundraising. People love the statue now, but back then it wasn't very popular; Congress was unhappy at having to pay for the upkeep of the this gift from France, and many thought it was super ugly. (When the raised hand of liberty, holding the torch, was put on display in Madison Square Park — months before the full statue was complete — it was widely mocked. Montague Marks, an art-magazine editor, wrote that "The torch in the hand of the absent goddess suggests the idea of an immense double tooth which has just been extracted from some unfortunate mastodon, and is held aloft in triumph by the successful operator").
Some people thought the poem was better than the statue. As Esther Schor notes in her biography Emma Lazarus:
In "The New Colossus," as James Russell Lowell wrote, she had invented her own "noble" pedestal for the statue, "saying admirably just the right word to be said, an achievement more arduous than that of the sculptor." Her sonnet, he noted, provided the statue at last with a "raison d'être"; in fact, he liked it "much better than I like the Statue itself."
Or to put it another way — the poem was the first thing to explain what the heck the statue meant.
It gave the Statue of Liberty a particular purpose: To be a totem not merely of freedom, but of immigration. Lazarus knew a fair bit about immigration, because she'd been spending time visiting Russian-Jewish refugees who were housed in shelters on Ward's Island. That's where her line about "wretched refuse" comes from. She'd seen it firsthand, and could imagine the coming day when the Statue, installed at last, would be the first thing those wretches would see as their boat approached New York's shore.
So the poem was microfamous when the Statue first went up, but pretty soon people forgot about it. It didn't come back into the public consciousness until the horrors of WWII loomed. As Schor writes:
In 1935, as the Statue of Liberty approached her fiftieth birthday, a writer for the New York Times Magazine wrote: "If she had a tongue what she could tell!" That Liberty had been given a tongue by Emma Lazarus was noted in a letter to the editor, which quoted all fourteen lines of an obscure sonnet, "The New Colossus." By the end of the decade, a Slovenian-American immigrant named Louis Adamic had seized upon the sonnet to celebrate the nation's immigrants and their ethnicities. In Adamic's hands, the sonnet's fortunes were transformed and the Statue of Liberty became, for a generation poised to receive thousands of refugees from Hitler's Europe, once again a "Mother of Exiles." [snip]
Alfred Hitchcock ended his wartime Saboteur (1942) the crown of the statue, with his heroine quoting the sonnet to an enemy agent. By the end of the war, the plaque bearing the poem had been given a more prominent place at the entrance. With the 1949 Broadway debut of Miss Liberty, composed by the Russian-Jewish immigrant Israel Baline, who went by the name of Irving Berlin, the famous final lines of "The New Colossus" acquired a schmaltzy musical setting, by no means their only one.
Check the ngram chart again: You can see how the poem's promotion by Adamic — a translator and author himself — helped. It's precisely around the late 1930s that those famous lines shoot upward together, before diverging.
And by the way, if you haven't read the poem in its entirety, here you go:
Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
Which politicians still talk about the "information superhighway"?
Who still uses the term "information superhighway"?
It's the most 90s coinage ever. It was an attempt by boomer journalists — whose chief technology of teen liberation was the automobile, but who by the 90s were solidly middle-aged — to find a metaphor for digital networks that made sense to them. Hey guys! Let's all get in our, uh, cybervehicles! We can roll down the windows and go cruisin' on the Highway of Information.
As "the Internet" and "the web" took off, though, eventually people stopped using the "information superhighway".
Or did they? In The Atlantic, Adrienne LaFrance analyzed Donald Trump's fascinatingly incoherent use of "the cyber", and along the way she noted one cohort that seems to constantly use dated digital slang: Politicians.
So it made me wonder — who's the last politician to have uttered the phrase "information superhighway" in the Congressional Record?
Step forward, Erik Paulsen.
A reverse-chron search of the Congressional Record finds that Paulsen used the phrase on July 17, 2014, speaking in support of the Permanent Internet Tax Freedom Act.
To give Paulsen credit, it seems like he might be using the phrase specifically because of its historic echo of the 90s: "… grown the information superhighway to what it is today."
Trivia: "Information superhighway" has been uttered 291 times in the Congressional Record. Interestingly, other recent-ish uses seem to be when politicians are talking about net neutrality — possibly because there, the highway metaphor is useful; it evokes tolls, fast lanes vs. slow lanes, etc. So maybe the phrase has got some life in it yet.
Me, I'm a fan! "Information superhighway" is much more metal than "the Internet" or "the web", which are functional but now rather lifeless. Given my druthers, I actually prefer the full, florid coinage of "the global information superhighway". I have been waging a dogged campaign on Twitter to revive it; I am failing.

The "conflict shoreline": A map that correlates climate change to drone strikes
This map is a really interesting data-visualization, with a suggestive message: That climate change is very tightly woven with war and conflict.
In one sense, this relationship isn't news. Climate change causes resource scarcity — and resource scarcity is, historically, one brutally reliable trigger of war and strife. The US Department of Defense certainly takes it seriously; last year it released a report calling climate change "an urgent and growing threat to our national security, contributing to increased natural disasters, refugee flows, and conflicts over basic resources such as food and water." Another nonprofit study recently argued that a massive 2006-2011 drought in Syria, by driving rural populations into the already-stressed cities, helped accelerate the country's human-rights catastrophe.
But that map above suggests an even more intriguing and subtle finding: That climate change tracks conflict with such granularity that it even tracks drone strikes.
The map is from a book called The Conflict Shoreline, which I learned about tonight while reading "Let Them Drown", a speech by Naomi Klein reprinted in this month's issue of The London Review of Books. Klein describes the map really well, so I'll quote her at length here:
In his latest book, The Conflict Shoreline, the Israeli architect Eyal Weizman has a groundbreaking take on how these forces are intersecting. The main way we've understood the border of the desert in the Middle East and North Africa, he explains, is the so-called 'aridity line', areas where there is on average 200 millimetres of rainfall a year, which has been considered the minimum for growing cereal crops on a large scale without irrigation. These meteorological boundaries aren't fixed: they have fluctuated for various reasons, whether it was Israel's attempts to 'green the desert' pushing them in one direction or cyclical drought expanding the desert in the other. And now, with climate change, intensifying drought can have all kinds of impacts along this line. Weizman points out that the Syrian border city of Daraa falls directly on the aridity line. Daraa is where Syria's deepest drought on record brought huge numbers of displaced farmers in the years leading up to the outbreak of Syria's civil war, and it's where the Syrian uprising broke out in 2011. Drought wasn't the only factor in bringing tensions to a head. But the fact that 1.5 million people were internally displaced in Syria as a result of the drought clearly played a role. The connection between water and heat stress and conflict is a recurring, intensifying pattern all along the aridity line: all along it you see places marked by drought, water scarcity, scorching temperatures and military conflict – from Libya to Palestine, to some of the bloodiest battlefields in Afghanistan and Pakistan.
But Weizman also discovered what he calls an 'astounding coincidence'. When you map the targets of Western drone strikes onto the region, you see that 'many of these attacks – from South Waziristan through northern Yemen, Somalia, Mali, Iraq, Gaza and Libya – are directly on or close to the 200 mm aridity line.' The red dots on the map above represent some of the areas where strikes have been concentrated. To me this is the most striking attempt yet to visualise the brutal landscape of the climate crisis. All this was foreshadowed a decade ago in a US military report. 'The Middle East,' it observed, 'has always been associated with two natural resources, oil (because of its abundance) and water (because of its scarcity).' True enough. And now certain patterns have become quite clear: first, Western fighter jets followed that abundance of oil; now, Western drones are closely shadowing the lack of water, as drought exacerbates conflict.
Just as bombs follow oil, and drones follow drought, so boats follow both: boats filled with refugees fleeing homes on the aridity line ravaged by war and drought.
I can't comment in greater depth on Weizman's analysis until I've read his book (and after reading this I've ordered it). But if it holds up, as a piece of dataviz, it's absolutely fascinating.
Klein's entire speech is well worth reading too, as a synthesis of how climate change and human rights are inextricably entwined.
