Tonight was one of those Friday nights when I couldn't be bothered cooking or eating. It wasn't until 7.30 that I thought I'd better get a move on or it would be too late. A quick scan of my fridge showed me I had eggs, goats cheese and plenty of tomatoes. I put those three ingredients into my favourite recipe website. Of the ten recipes that came up there was only one I liked and that was Goats cheese and basil scrambled eggs. (http://www.taste.com.au/recipes/19316/goats+cheese+and+basil+scrambled+eggs).
It was very quick and easy to make. I cooked toast instead of bagels but sourdough bread or muffins would also work well. I grilled the tomatoes rather than roasting them. That's much quicker for me. Overall the meal was delicious, especially with the basil torn and put on top. The goats cheese gave the eggs a sharp, creamy taste.
I'll definitely be cooking this again. I can see it becoming a Friday night favourite.

Walking Our Faith: When you are broken and too tired to begin again (column)
Walking Our Faith
I bought cross-country skis to follow Dr. Dietzgen's good advice that I exercise to offset the results of being a very talented cook.
I am a chunky monkey. I have gained and lost the same 25 pounds innumerable times.
You might be surprised that I attended the University of Michigan on a swimming scholarship. However, as my high school athletic director concluded: On land, I have the grace and coordination of a newborn colt.
Which is why as a cautionary measure I took a lesson at the Breckenridge Nordic Center. I had a wonderful teacher and enjoyed myself immensely. However, this did not deter me from falling three times in a row, the third indeed the charm, as I fractured my wrist in two places, requiring surgery and a cast for the next twelve weeks.
My skiing accident is a metaphor for the rest of 2016. Many projects begun with the best intentions ended in failure. A perfect job that I needed, I wasn't chosen for. The land I needed to sell to secure a home here, didn't sell. It seemed that if I desired an outcome, the answer would be "no."
So, I set myself a smaller goal: Recall just one success of this past year.
That was this column. While it might seem a small thing to anyone else, for me it is seminal. It has focused the purpose of my life. Before I began writing this column, I was a writer, now I understand I am a faith writer.
This column has not been a means to share my faith, but has transformed it, challenging the easy faith I believed was strong, and showing me each week how superficial it was as I traveled through these disappointments and much prayer, only to discover God's silence. Causing me to question whether I would pursue God or turn my back.
That is what each of us faces when we reach this juncture. Remarkably, no matter what our choice, God's love for us endures. As in the parable of the prodigal son, God our father is steadfast, always ready to welcome us back.
Reaching this conclusion made me feel a little bit better about 2016. But the idea of writing an upbeat column for the new year felt contrived when I still held on to so much disappointment.
Since I couldn't write with my hand in a cast, I spent the two weeks of Christmas and New Year's catching up on a pile of books that sat on my coffee table. This time of contemplative reading has been a God-send.
Last night I finished "The Spiral Staircase," a memoir by Karen Armstrong, of the best-selling "A History of God."
I naively imagined that successful people enjoyed a relatively straight, upward career path. But I discovered in Karen Armstrong's memoir a kindred spirit.
Her best-selling book was published at 50 years old. Before that her life, as she described it, was a series of failures and setbacks. Leaving the convent after seven years, pursuing a doctorate at Oxford only to have her thesis rejected, failing at jobs in teaching and television, living with undiagnosed epilepsy for over a decade, and after losing her faith and declaring herself an atheist, becoming one of the most notable religious writers of our generation.
Reflecting on my own decades of failures, I concluded that God will use our brokenness to begin something new, if we let him.
When I hit bottom, I passed through stages of anger, fear and finally resignation. The last thing I wanted to write or read, was a pithy list of New Year's resolutions when my mind said 'what about the goals I hoped for last year?'
In this place of darkness, God calls us to be transformed by our failures so that we do not begin again, but we begin anew.
If you are a regular reader of this column, you'll know I'm a fan of selfies. But when I look at the pictures from the beginning of the year, I do not recognize myself. I have changed that much.
I am not the same woman I was a year ago. I am tired, discouraged and yet I am the happiest I have ever been because I am becoming the woman God meant me to be.
2016 was a tough year for many of us, where it wasn't one setback, but so many that a popular refrain on Facebook was, "Please let 2016 end quickly."
Yet, if we use the pit as a platform not to recall what we had before, but to become something new, we will discover our transformation and we will thank God for it.
We cannot recapture the past, because we are no longer that person. Our scars, our broken heart, broken bank account, broken spirit, have made us different. Our power is our choice to accept this newness as a gift.
Now is the time to seek God with all our heart leaving at the cross any shame or fear or anger and resting in his renewing love. From there we will build and go forward.
Let's enter 2017 embracing God's promise: "See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland." (Isaiah 43:19)

Look who's back on top again? Just 30 months since General Motors emerged from bankruptcy, the Detroit-based automaker can once again call itself the world's largest. GM sold just over 9 million vehicles globally in 2011, its highest sales total ever, while chief rival Toyota may slip as far as third place, according to TheDetroitBureau.com, which reports that Volkswagen will pass Toyota to claim the runner-up spot.
Led by a record-setting 4.76 million sales year from Chevrolet, GM saw sales rise in all four of its reporting regions. The company says it now claims 11.9 percent of the global market. Sales in the U.S. were up 13 percent with 1.7 million vehicles sold.
It wasn't a good year for Toyota, the largest carmaker by sales volume for the past three years, since unseating GM in 2008. The Japanese manufacturer experienced production interruptions from the earthquake and resultant tsunami in Japan in early 2011, and then again when Thailand experienced widespread flooding later in the year.
While GM's legion of critics will no doubt point to the natural disasters in an attempt to diminish the significance of GM reclaiming the top spot, the company has to be feeling pretty good about its accomplishments last year. Not that being number one matters that much. As analyst Aaron Bragman of IHS Automotive tells The Bureau, "Being biggest in the world is not necessarily an advantage to anyone."
But it's certainly good for bragging rights and positive morale. As they say in sports, "scoreboard, baby." To read GM's full press release, click past the jump.

|Computer Science/Discrete Mathematics Seminar I
|Graphlets: A Spectral Perspective for Graph Limits
|Fan Chung
|University of California at San Diego
|Monday, February 6
|11:15am - 12:15pm/S-101
To examine the limiting behavior of graph sequences, many discrete methods meet their continuous counterparts, leading to numerous theoretical and applicable advancements. For dense graph sequences, the graph limits have recently been well developed by many researchers, mostly based on Szemeredi's regularity partition and the algebra of graph homomorphisms. For sparse graphs with a linear number of edges, the graph limits have very different behavior and are much less well understood. In this talk, we introduce "graphlets", a spectral version of graph limits, for all graph sequences, unifying previous disparate approaches for dense and sparse graphs. We will discuss a number of advantages of graphlets including universal scalable bases, universal embeddings via heat kernels and the preservation of Cheeger cuts, for example.

Happy Saturday, friends! I feel like we were just celebrating the 4th and now here we are on the second to last weekend of the month. This summer is just zooming by and I wish it would just slow down a bit, but sadly that's not how it works.
Overall, our summer vacation has been pretty great. The girls are enjoying staying up a little later and having slumber parties in the living room almost every night, I've been stepping outside of my comfort zone so we've been able to visit a few new places, and we've been able to just enjoy hanging out with one another (most of the time).
|Just 2 Sisters Checking Out the Falls
I have been loving all of the memories we are making and I'm not ready to be this far into the summer because that means we are close to wrapping it up. I know we won't have to stop making memories, but the relaxing pace of the summer will be gone and the "will we have time for this" schedule will be back in effect.
This weekend, we don't have plans, but we have some fun ideas. As soon as I finish my coffee, we're getting in the car and just going. We'll stop where we stop, we'll bask in the sun, and we'll enjoy our time together.
I hope you have an amazing weekend!

Sarkodie Finally Breaks Silence On Rumour That He's Joining Zylofon Media
You might have heard from the rumourmongers that rapper Sarkodie will be inking a juicy deal with million dollar entertainment company Zylofo Medea anytime soon.
Despite the 360 entertainment house' word to Zionfelix.net months back there is no iota of truth in the hearsay, most Ghanaians did not believe the PRO, Sammy Flex's statement because they believe same was said when it went viral that Shatta Wale was joining them but later turned out to be true.
Well, Sarkodie himself has spoken on the matter at hand. Speaking on Starr FM, Obidi told the world that he is not joining the Nana Appiah Mensah-owned company despite their good efforts to help the creative arts industry in Ghana.
He described the rumour as April Fool and entreated the public not to believe it because he still remains the boss of Sarkcess Music which has Strongman and Akwaboah.
"I think Zylofon is doing so well for the industry, and I respect what they are doing for the industry. For people to say I am going to Zylofon is more like an April fool prank," he said.

H'eedz m'eek is a Maya word that refers to the way that mothers carry their babies.From birth they carry the babies in arms cradled and in front. The babies are always close to the mothers and not very often you see newborn babies sleeping alone in a hammock but as I said always close to the mother.
Then comes the time ,when really ,the baby becomes too heavy to carry in this way and a form of baptism is done which will allow the mothers to carry the babies on their hips . Am sure and of course I know ,relieving the burden a little.
H'eedz M'ee k was so important to the ancient Maya that is still practice today in the pueblos of the Maya and of course to no exception here in St Elena.
The parents choose a godparent usually with a profession or official person . For a girl it would be a lady and for a boy a gentleman.
On the day of the ceremony all the godparents, guests, families arrive at the house and are received with great attention.The conversation relates usually to all the good things they have whilst the baby is given its new position to be carried passing one to another. As this is happening tools of trade are past to the parents for Example if they want for their son to be a good carpenter then a hammer would be given or if the parents intentions for their daughter was to be able to sew well,then needles and thread are given. Pencils, books and the like are also given so that the child be a good scholar.
Then of course time for celebrations with food and drink . This then is what is called H'eedz M'eek

Our view: We should respect police officers
A recent report should be a stark reminder as to what law enforcement officers face on a daily basis throughout this nation.
The report, published by the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund, revealed that gun deaths of officers increased by 56 percent from 2013 to 2014. All told, 50 officers were killed by gunfire, including 15 by ambush.
Two of those deaths occurred in an ambush-style attack two weeks ago in Brooklyn.
Here's what Craig Floyd, chairman and CEO of the memorial fund, said in a story published in last week's Daily News: "I am deeply concerned that a growing anti-government sentiment in America is influencing weak-minded individuals to launch violent assaults against the men and women working to enforce our laws and keep our nation safe."
Floyd, in part, was referring to the reaction in Ferguson, Mo., and in New York, where angry protests erupted after officers were cleared of wrong-doing in the deaths of unarmed men.
Police actions have been scrutinized to the point in which many law enforcement officials believe that they can no long do their jobs effectively because of public pressure. In New York, police officers were so upset with Mayor Bill de Blasio's lack of support in the aftermath of the verdict in the Eric Garner case that they turned their backs on him during a public appearance after the killings of the two police officers.
Tensions are high. That's very clear. But what's also clear is this: Law enforcement officers have a demanding, difficult and sometimes dangerous job to do. And because of that, they deserve our respect.

2020 Dublin Intermediate Football Final- Naomh Fionnbarra v Naomh Barróg
All Ireland SFC: Dublin cruise to victory
All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Quarter-Final Group Phase
By Kevin Egan at Croke Park
Another game, another capable opponent brushed aside with ease. Cork may have caused Dublin problems for an hour a week previously, but Jim Gavins side made sure they avoided any such nervous moments at Croke Park as they wasted no time in brushing aside Roscommon over the course of 25 mesmerising minutes of action in the lead up to half time.
Tyrones earlier win over Cork meant that Roscommon needed a win to keep their chances of reaching the All-Ireland semi-finals alive, and while that was always unlikely, the opening 10 minutes suggested that they might be competitive.
Colin Compton kicked a point and might have had a goal from the games first attack, Diarmuid Murtagh sent over a spectacular kick from the right wing and Conor Cox nailed a 45 metre free, though at the other end they struggled to compete with the pace and movement of the Dublin attack and conceded three frees to Dean Rock.
Dublins first point from play came in the 11th minute when Con OCallaghan made a stunning high catch and immediately turned and fired it over from 25 metres, and that was the start of perhaps the most devastating spell of play that any team has produced so far this summer.
Moments worthy of the highlight reel kept coming. Paul Mannion produced a pass of precision and vision to set up an easy finish for Rock, then a flowing move saw the Ballymun player palm in their first goal, with Ciarn Kilkenny and Con OCallaghan both playing quick and inch-perfect handpasses to take defenders out of the game.
Rock continued to build up his tally from dead balls, Con OCallaghan and Paul Mannion struck some magnificent scores, and perhaps the biggest shock of all was Dublins failure to register a second goal. Con OCallaghan struck the post and blasted the ball over in a one-on-one situation, Paul Mannion seemed to have stepped past Darren OMalley but the Roscommon goalkeeper recovered brilliantly to keep his shot out, but Roscommon simply couldnt stop the bleeding as it seemed like nearly every Dublin possession ended in a shot on goal.
Dean Rock celebrates after scoring a first half goal for Dublin at Croke Park.
Dublins 1-15 to 0-7 half-time lead was no more than a fair reflection of their dominance, and as if the task facing Roscommon wasnt daunting enough, Conor Dalys accumulation of a yellow, black and thus a red card in the space of three minutes just before half time suggested that a landslide win was on the cards.
A stunning solo goal from Michael Darragh Macauley in between three points from Rock 2 and Jack McCaffrey pushed the lead out to 17 and the Roscommon supporters among the crowd of 36,530 were understandably nervous of what might be in store, but their side showed some of the steel that was their hallmark in the Connacht championship, and kicked five of the next six points, with three coming from defenders Niall Daly, Conor Hussey and Sen Mullooly pushing forward to join the attack.
In total Dublin added just one point between the 39th and 62nd minute as they went through an uncharacteristically fallow period of shooting, dropping several scoreable chances short while adding bringing their wides tally for the game up to 10, but they found their groove in the closing minutes again as Paddy Small, Kevin McManamon and Niall Scully all added their names to the scoresheet in advance of their trip to Omagh in a fortnight.
Scorers for Dublin: Dean Rock 1-11 10fs, Michael Darragh Macauley 1-1, Paddy Small 0-3, Paul Mannion, Ciarn Kilkenny, Con OCallaghan and Brian Fenton 0-2 each, Jack McCaffrey, Kevin McManamon, and Niall Scully 0-1 each.
Scorers for Roscommon: Conor Cox 0-7 4fs, Conor Hussey 0-3, Colin Compton, Diarmuid Murtagh, Niall Daly, and Sean Mullooly 0-1 each.

DURING the summer of 2019, LIFE IN THE FINGER LAKES staff writer Nicole Landers and photographer Bill Banaszewski covered the environmental conservation efforts being implemented by the volunteers and staff of Seneca Waterways Council's Camp Cutler property located near Naples, New York.
Guided by Sr. Ranger Jeff Emerling, they toured the Scout reservation and quickly came to discover how the program and camping areas have been carefully integrated within the many camp-wide conservation projects.
Of great interest, they discovered Cutler's Old Growth Forest section found along Whispering Creek. Old Growth Forest is a designation given by New York State to growths with little or minimal disturbance by post colonization humans as demonstrated by evidence such as no stumps to indicate a history of logging.
The environmental conservation of the camp is guided by a written Forest Management plan, as advocated by the Scout Council's Conservation Committee. The camp works and partners with many conservation goal oriented groups such as the DEC, Keister Consulting, Wagner Hardwood and FLCC's Conservation program . . . all with the same ethos . . . the preservation of our planet.

"Attending summer camp is a common rite-of-passage for many children. It's at camp where lasting friendships are built and practical skills learned. An appreciation for the natural world is cultivated through experiences such as fishing, hiking and camping. Although most kids don't get the opportunity to participate in an environmental restoration project that will improve the very camp they return to every summer – at Camp Cutler, they do!"

It is well known that Mid cap and small cap funds are volatile. They can provide stellar returns or losses in quick time. Does it make sense for investors to book profits from mid cap and small cap mutual funds tactically? Let us find out.
As an analyst, the main aim of tactical asset allocation or market timing is to lower portfolio risk. A higher return is only a desirable side effect. As an investor, the main aim is to lower the volatility in portfolio growth as the deadline for the goal approaches. Also when we test a strategy in the past, return difference between a tactical strategy vs a "buy each month" strategy will depend on whether the market crashed in the period studied or not. The risk difference will be more or less independent of market ups and downs.
Profit booking from Mid cap, Small cap mutual funds
There are many things to consider before coming with a profit booking strategy. In what follows, I shall compare "buy each month and hold" mid cap or small cap fund (systematic investing for want of a better word) vs mid/small cap + large cap tactical strategy.
That is, we shall consider tactical allocation from a mid cap fund (or small cap fund) to a large cap and vice versa depending on market conditions. This will keep the equity: fixed income asset allocation of investors portfolio unchanged. Only the market cap of the equity portion will vary.
I have not considered exit loads and taxes, as usually done in all previous tactical asset allocation studies. Two reasons (1) the systematic portfolio here has only equity unlike those (2) my aim is to check how tactical movements lower risk. If an investor is unwilling to book profits fearing taxes then they must suffer losses. One cannot eat a cake and have it too.
We have considered 43 10-year backtests from 1st April 2005 and use Nifty Midcap 150 TR Index, Nifty Small Cap 250 TR Index and Nifty 50 TR Index. Using active funds can lower the benefits of tactical profit booking but using them in a back-test will bring in biases. Again, an investor cannot eat a cake and have it too.
Using a ten-month moving average for tactical profit-booking
Readers may recall that I have done a detailed tactical asset allocation analysis with the ten-month moving average (10 MMA) Kindly consult this article for full details. Here is a relevant image. For this study, replace equity with mid cap or small cap and debt with nifty 50.
I shall only provide the gist of the method below. We shall consider two approaches: (1) Single 10 MMA and (2) Double 10 MMA.
Single 10 MMA
Look at the price of the Mid cap index at the start of the month. If it is above the last ten-month average price, buy mid caps only, sell existing NIfty 50 holdings and invest in mid caps. If on the other hand, the current price is < 10 MMA, then sell all mid cap holdings, invest in Nifty 50 and continue investing in Nifty 50. We shall compare this method with a SIP in the mid cap index. The same strategy will also be used for small cap indices.
Double 10 MMA
In this case, we take decisions of both Midcap and Nifty 10 MAAs.
When Midcap price > Mid cap 10 MMA OR Nifty price > Nifty 10 MMA, buy midcaps, sell existing Nifty holdings and buy mid caps with it.
When Midcap price < Mid cap 10 MMA OR Nifty price < Nifty 10 MMA, sell midcaps, buy Nifty holdings and keep investing in Nifty.
Profit booking from mid cap funds
Single MMA strategy (mid cap)
First, consider the 43 backtests. Top panel shows the annualized return XIRR comparison. Notice that the tactical strategy has done well all the time. The quantum of outperformance depends on whether the window saw a market crash or not. The bottom panel shows the portfolio drawdown. That is the max fall from a peak. Typically the tactical strategy has a lower fall from peak. Similar graphs for other methods will be presented below without further commentary.
Next, we look at two portfolio growth charts. Please note that 43 such instances have been compiled above.
Double MMA strategy (mid cap)
If we use two 10-MMAs (both Midcap 150 and Nifty 50), the return outperformance is marginally lower and risk outperformance (bottom panel) is marginally higher.Profit booking from small cap funds
Single 10 MMA (small caps)
Notice that the benefit of booking profits from small caps is higher than that with mid caps.
Here are two of 43 backtest examples.
Double 10 MMA (Small caps)
Finally, two sample backtests.
Should you book profits from mid cap and small cap mutual funds?
I would suggest not having small cap mutual funds, but if like those, then first make sure your small cap mutual fund outperforms this benchmark! Then yes, I would recommend the above profit booking strategy. Read more: Six Consistent Small Cap Mutual Fund Performers
There is a clear benefit for mid cap mutual funds also, but here the investor must better appreciate the basics of portfolio management and asset allocation than the above. So I will not recommend it for everyone. However, this will benefit those with a clear target corpus.
Why not use large and mid cap funds or mid and small cap funds instead of such profit booking? Yes to the former. The risk is too much in the latter and some tactical play is necessary, in my opinion. What do you think? Will you try this out?

Undecided Jim Calhoun still going through coaching motions
SOUTHINGTON -- New UConn athletic director Warde Manuel may be convinced that Jim Calhoun will be back coaching the Huskies next season, but Calhoun isn't quite as certain.
"Right now, everything we're doing is planning on next year," Calhoun said Wednesday at the Aqua Turf Club, shortly before presenting former UConn coach Dee Rowe with the Community Service Award at the Franciscan Sports Banquet. "Last year, quite frankly, after the championship, there was time to pause: 'OK, you're at this particular pinnacle, what do you do from here?' But right now ... I really don't start thinking about the road trips, etc., until August or September."
He continued: "The important thing is how I feel as a coach, and am I able to give my kids everything I possibly can. The fact that I have two years on my contract doesn't mean anything ... there's really nothing to talk about, in my mind. If I decide it's not the year, it's not the year. I love the staff, love the kids coming in, love the guys coming back."
Manuel told the Hartford Courant recently that he doesn't have "any doubt" Calhoun will return. But it's a conversation Manuel had with Calhoun when the two first met a couple of months ago that resonates more with the 27th-year Husky head coach.
"'I played for Bo Schembechler, who made all his decisions on how he wanted to do it,'" Calhoun said Manuel told him. "Dean Smith did it the exact same way. He retired on Oct. 1 ... My point being, I never feel rushed. I knew we had to get through the semester, we did exceptionally well, I know we had to get a few more players to add to the roster, and I know I'm talking on the phone to a lot of recruits."
On that front, Calhoun said the Huskies have a couple of recruits coming for visits this month, then a slew of unofficial visits slated for August that could have major implications for the program's future.
"I would think August would be a very big month for us," he said.
He added that Calhoun's uncertain future isn't hurting the Huskies on the recruiting trail. Prospective targets aren't asking how long he'll be there. The program still has numerous selling points, Calhoun noted, most notably: "The NBA. Those three letters."
Indeed, with Ray Allen heating up in the Eastern Conference finals and so many other UConn players having success in "the league," the program sells itself.
"If you say to a kid, 'I remember going down to Dalzell, S.C., No. 34 -- the number (Allen) wore at that time -- and now we've got two kids in the draft, both probably lotteries, and Rudy Gay, Caron Butler, the whole thing. That seems to be the best advertisement we have going, particularly because not a lot of those kids were McDonald's All-Americans."
Calhoun was happy to help honor Rowe, who coached UConn from 1969-1977 and remains a beloved and close figure with the program.
"It's funny how many people know Dee Rowe," Calhoun said. "I could be at the Peach Jam in Augusta, Ga., and somebody will come up to me and ask, 'How's Dee doing?' I may go out to the (NBA) finals if Oklahoma City makes it ... There's a pretty good chance, somebody out there in the basketball community will ask, 'How's Dee?'"
"There's probably been no better ambassador for UConn, across the board."

What do you do with unwanted items? Do you throw it away, recycle it, repair it, or donate it?
Goodwill is a well-known brand for accepting donations of household goods and then re-selling those goods to those in the community in need. One of the most common questions we experience is what to do with an unwanted item -- can it be donated? We created a helpful mobile application to answer this question and help spread the word of other services offered by Goodwill. The environment will benefit as well by putting things in their proper place.
People shouldn't be unwanted either -- Goodwill through their brand recognition of donating items can use a new captive audience to help their community learn of new ways they can further themselves with career training and job coaching.
What it does
The workflow of the application is:
- Take a picture of an item.
- Identify what the item is through computer vision.
- Use a demand heuristic to determine whether or not the item can be donated and financial incentive associated with tax-deductible donations.
- Present user with options for the item and other Goodwill services of value such as job coaching and skill development.
How we built it
The mobile application is built with Flutter. The backend is built with the Node.js Serverless Framework. The serverless tool creates an API Gateway and Lambda Functions. The first function calls AWS Rekognition, which determines labels for the image. The next function uses those labels and the Goodwill's Donation Guide to determite if the item will be accepted.
Challenges we ran into
The vision for our project and what was feasible ran into the obvious constraint of time. There were a number of services and concepts that would have made for a more polished solution that were out of reach for one day.
We deliberately chose to use services we weren't deeply familiar with. A hackathon is a good opportunity to experiment in this way. We developed our first Flutter Mobile App, our first use of the Rekognition Image Processing API, and first use of the Serverless Framework being used to deploy to AWS.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We identified a real problem we've experienced in our interactions with Goodwill and saw it as a way to drive a technical solution that others in the community would relate to. Further, by understanding the objectives of Goodwill, provide another avenue for engagement with their community that does not require them to physically visit a drop-off location.
What we learned
We learned a number of new technologies and services:
- Node.js Serverless
- AWS Lambda
- AWS Rekognition
- Flutter
What's next for Unwanted?
The complete vision for the project was to meet the needs of multiple audiences that we could not fully achieve.
- User creation within Goodwill's database when creating an account with the App (Not Done)
- Take a photo to identify what the object is. (Done)
- Take the object and determine whether or not it would be accepted by Goodwill. (Done)
- Provide user with options: (MVP done)
- Donate: Given an item that can be donated, we present the user with knowledge of their local Goodwill location with HERE Location Services and additional career / training opportunities offered by their local location. (Done)
- Repair: Some items can be repaired so we direct users to technical training that can help them repair their own item and learn skills that can help them in their careers. (Not Done)
- Upcycled: Items that cannot be donated but can be used for maker projects. By partnering with local makerspaces and libraries, the user can be directed to technical training resources on how to use their item in projects. For example, turning a broken blender or torn clothing into other items while learning electronics, repair, and sewing on practical projects with items they already have. (Not Done)
- Recycle: Items that cannot be donated but can be recycled. We would suggest working with local recycling and e-waste companies to build up a comprehensive database of what to do with unwanted items. (Not done)
- Trash: Items that cannot be donated can be sent directly to the trash. Rather than taking resources away from Goodwill sorting through unsellable items we can conserve effort. Further, the user can also be made aware of training / career opportunities they may be interested. (Not Done)

Riches vs. Peace of Mind . . . .
It is reported that former heavyweight champ "Iron" Mike Tyson has progressed from rags to riches and back again over the span of his life.
Appearing recently on television, the boxing icon revealed that at the height of his career, his net worth was between $400 to $500 million.
However, after spending his riches on expensive jewelry, a fancy car collection - and going through a rather costly divorce - he filed for bankruptcy in 2003, indicating that he had debts that exceeded $23 million.
After leaving boxing, Tyson has turned his focus to media and entertainment to hopefully recapture his former riches.
Unfortunately, this is a classic example of someone who had everything except Peace of Mind.

Paper Review: The CQL continuous query language: semantic foundations and query execution
Title and Author of Paper The CQL continuous query language: semantic foundations and query execution. Arasu et al. Summary CQL is a derivation of the SQL query language developed for running continuous queries over streams of data. The goals of the system are to provide a precise set of language semantics for running such continuous stream workloads. The paper starts by defining precise abstract semantics for continuous queries that cover two data types — streams and relations — and three classes of operators: ones that produce a relation from a stream, one that produces a relation from other relations, and one that produces a stream from a relation.

So if you happen to ever find yourself in the currently very single Niall's presence, ready to put the moves on to see if you have a chance?Fun fact Niall once shared was that his first ever kiss was with an exchange student from France who was staying with one of his friends.Marriage He married: (1) Mary Jane Nicoll Mac Pherson on 22nd November, 1855, in Kirriemuir, Angus.Ministry He served in Greenock – Mount Park, Renfrewshire.Cuthbert's, Edinburgh, the daughter of William Marchbank, warehouseman, and Isabella Smith.Family They had issue including: (1) George Marshall born on 1st May, 1873, in Edinburgh."Well," he says, wincing slightly at the memory as he sips his pint, "I know from my research that the First World War was worse." How do they get along the se days?
"I was about 11 or 12 and it was my best friend's French foreign exchange student."I think being a father is the finest thing I have ever done.But regardless, Niall is clearly not giving himself enough credit when it comes to owning the fact that anyone would literally die at the chance to snag a date with him.According to our spies in Ireland, Niall Horan spent a lot of time with 17-year-old Ali Mc Ginley during a trip back home to Mullingar, Co Westmeath, Ireland, over the weekend.In the US, the Republican Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton's Democrat foil Bernie Sanders "arise from the same impulse"."I love Corbyn," he declares, asking the waiter for another dozen oysters ("the biggest ones you have"), which he alternates with handfuls of fried onions.I like red pick-up trucks." Does he drive one in Cambridge, Massachusetts?

En julio de 2014 se anunció que Mitchell se uniría al elenco principal de la nueva serie Members Only donde interpretaría al personaje de Jesse, sin embargo, la serie fue cancelada por la cadena ABC antes de su estreno.

It has been more years than most people can remember since there has been a high impact concert on the grandstand stage at the Colusa County Fair. That's about to change. This year's Saturday night line-up is going to be huge according to Jonathan Howard, CEO of the Fair.
"Who's Bad," known as the Ultimate Michael Jackson Tribute Band has agreed to come to Colusa.
"This is a complete stage review tribute to the King of Pop," said Howard. "It's not a cover band; it's a production and a tribute to Michael Jackson's life and his music," he said.
The group is the longest running Michael Jackson tribute band, and the only one to pre-date Jackson's untimely death. They have wowed audiences worldwide and have performed "jaw-dropping" performances, even to skeptics according to their promotion material.
They have played sold-out shows in some of the world's most famous pavilions, including arenas in China, House of Blues franchises across the United States, and London's 02 – the venue where the King of Pop himself was scheduled to end his "This Is It" concert tour.
Lead in the band; Joseph Bell (aka "JoBel"), is known for sounding like the King of Pop and his moves are spot on. Lead choreographer of Michael Jackson's "This is It", Travis Payne has worked with Bell to hone the moves.
Bell began his career as a singer and dancer at Walt Disney World. He has appeared in the television movies "The Jacksons", and "An American Dream" and was also on Ed McMahon's Star Search. He also appeared in the film "What's Love Got to Do With It", and sang on live television for Baby Face and Toni Braxton.
"This is going to be huge for us at the fair," said Howard.
They are expanding the seating to include not only floor seating near the stage, but are adding 18 VIP boxes near the stage as well. The boxes can accommodate up to eight guests and come with full wait service.
"We are so excited to have an act of this caliber coming to the Colusa County Fair," said Howard.
Reserved seating and general ticket information is available online at www.colusacountyfair.com.
This is the first venture in a long time to provide this stature of entertainment in the fair's grandstands.
Howard said support of this concert will ensure that other big name concerts can continue to attend the Colusa County Fair.
"This is our chance to build toward the future," he said.
The Colusa County Fair will take place June 9-12, 2016. "Who's Bad" will perform on Saturday, June 11. For more information call the fair office at (530) 458-2641 or visit www.colusacountyfair.com

Dejan Lovren's agent have reportedly established contact with Serie A giants AC Milan regarding a potential summer move to Italy ahead of the next season.
Milan, who are in the market for a new defender ahead of the next season failed in their pursuit of Ozan Kabak who has made a switch to Bundesliga outfits Schalke 04.
Lovren endured a difficult 2018-19 season under Jurgen Klopp last campaign, playing only 13 games in the English top-tier.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Predrag Mijatovic – an intermediary for agent Vlado Lemic – has reportedly met with the representatives of AC Milan in order to discuss Croatian defender's possible move to Serie A.
The Reds are expected to demand at least £25m for world-cup finalise, whose deal at Anfield set to expire in 2021.
AC Milan are yet to finalise any transfers in the summer other than signing on-loan star Franck Kessie on a permanent deal for £21.6m.
Meanwhile, Liverpool have asked about the availability of Man Utd long-term target and Napoli centre-back Kalidou Koulibaly, according to the reports.
The centre-back has been heavily linked with a switch to Manchester United for the last two years, with the Red Devils seen several bids turned dwon by Napoli.
Italian giants have refused to budge on their near £100million price tag and are under no pressure to cash in on the player who has turned 27.
However, the Italian outlet Il Mattino now reports that the Merseyside Reds have entered the race to secure services of Koulibaly.

Keywords: hydrophobic, coatings, PDMS, textile
Summary:Industries face tougher regulations on the C-8 fluorocarbon use in their waterproof coatings. The performance of these alternative coatings in terms of their life time and water repellency is not satisfactory. To overcome these issues, we designed a polymer, benefitting from the high strength of urethanes and the hydrophobicity of PDMS. We have linked individual monomers into a copolymer using isocyanate chemistry and dispersed the polymer in water. Our polymerization reaction design approach is particularly attractive to industries, because it allows easy scale up. We used dip coating and layer-by-layer deposition approaches to coat cotton fabrics with the PDMS-PU polymer dispersion. We demonstrate how the coating performance on cotton substrates depends on: i) different molecular weight of the initial building blocks, ii) polymer dispersion average particle size, and iii) added silica particles. Smaller molecular weight of the hydrophilic polyurethane increased water contact angle by ca. 20 °. Increasing molecular weight of PDMS increased contact angle by ca. 10 °. Controlling water addition rate allowed to obtain different particle sizes, ranging from 70 nm to ~3 µm. Scanning Electron Microscopy showed individual polymer particles fusing together upon curing of the coating and the particles showed inherent hierarchical roughness. Addition of as low as 0.1 wt% of hydrophobized silica particles into the formulation increased water contact angle by 10 ° and further increase was observed with additional silica content. In future, we plan to increase the hydrophobicity by using advanced coating application techniques and incorporation of hydrophobic functional particles, which will further the nano-roughness and hydrophobicity of the final coating.

In the words of Gartner analyst Noah Elkin: "Regardless of the approach all martech vendors face some headwinds due to the fact that marketing leaders are under greater pressure to demonstrate the ROI their technology investments deliver to the business."
The big marketing cloud providers have taken this message on board and are considering new pricing strategies.
But while there is largely a consensus that pricing must change, there is no consensus around what that change should be.
Typically email marketing, which tends to form the foundation of wider digital marketing efforts, is charged on a cost per thousand basis, or based on the number of contacts in a database size. The larger marketing clouds also have the ability to sell complementary products, thanks to the different point solutions they have acquired in recent years.
Steve Lucas, CEO of Marketo told Which-50 that while Marketo has no immediate plans to change its pricing model it is "exploring different avenues and options".
"We are looking at new ways to get technology that we create into the hands of marketers more in mass. That is not a short-term exercise," Lucas told Which-50 in a recent interview in San Francisco.
Marketo, whose pricing model is an annual fee based on database size has more recently begun offering enterprise license agreements in response to customer demand.
"A lot of customers are asking us for broad-based, all you can eat enterprise license agreements now… that provides, especially for our larger customers, a lot more flexibility as they grow," Lucas said.
Lucas said there will always be premium pricing for a premium product. But he also suggested in an interview with Which-50 that there was plenty of opportunities for Marketo to be "economically disruptive".
"The reality is that we've looked at ways to give customers much more flexibility in terms of how many contacts, the type of contacts, enterprise license agreements, and the like. And I think we'll continue to do that."
Oracle Marketing Cloud is also investigating how it charges for its martech and Shashi Seth senior vice president OMC, said pricing models where very likely to change to be more performance-based in future.
"Even our best customers don't have a way to model when they should keep going and when they should stop. And most of our clients are leaving too much money on the table because they are too conservative with their spend," Seth said during a recent visit to Sydney.
He suggested the average marketer is leaving as much as 50 per cent of the money on the table because they stop when they should keep going.
"The ROI is smaller every step but you should only stop when it's a zero-sum game."
Seth said that adopting this mindset might see money flowing away from some of the traditional digital or non digital sources.
And that, he acknowledged, would also bring about a reckoning on price.
"The pricing model needs to change. And we have already started down this route. We have to move away from traditional B2B models such as seat based, or contact based towards usage based."
According to Seth, "Our incentive to our customers should be to let them use any of these products any which way they want."
He suggested as an example that there may be a model where for 'X' millions of dollars a company gets to use billions of transactions. "It shouldn't matter if those transactions are SMS or email or DM or ads. They are all fungible and the brand should be able to use them any which way they want."
Seth said customers will force providers like Oracle and its competitors to truly move to performance-oriented pricing.
"I'd rather we get there first. We have already spent a ton of time thinking about how we go about that."
Derek Laney, Head of Product Marketing, Salesforce APAC, echoed that sentiment.
"An advantage of the Marketing Cloud is utilisation can be shared across many channels, for example, mobile app, sms, email and advertising."
For Salesforce marketing cloud pricing is based on a subscription and then utilisation (contacts and/or volume).
"Higher volume use of the platform attracts pricing advantages compared to acquiring these solutions through separate disconnected tools," he said.
The industry's leading marketing cloud, Adobe, made a change to its pricing a few years ago to discourage marketers from blasting more emails, simply to meet a pre-paid volume.
"Adobe moved away from CPM pricing a few years ago in order to allow marketers to focus on more targeted, cross-channel communications based on customer engagement preference and context. This leads to transparency for marketers, and ultimately a more personalised and relevant experience for customers," said Kristin Naragon, Director of Product Marketing for Adobe Campaign.
Suites Versus Best of Breed
The ability to sell complimentary solutions or charge based on interactions outside of email doesn't necessarily give the marketing clouds an unassailable lead over the smaller best of breed competitors. As Which-50 has reported, many Australian ecommerce companies prefer to assemble their own marketing tech stacks from different vendors, rather than go all in with a suite.
"Email is typically the on-ramp to more advanced multichannel marketing, so from a land-and-expand perspective, enterprise marketing clouds have the ability to sell in complementary solutions," Gartner's Noah Elkin told Which-50.
"That said because some organisations don't like to go all-in with a single vendor or face internal inertia in overhauling their marketing technology stacks, an opening exists for best-of-breed solutions. Similarly, to the extent that enterprise marketing clouds aspire to be like Swiss Army knives, it means that they are stronger in some channels than others, and that, too, provides an opening to point solutions," Elkin said.
Pay by performance
One way for a vendor to disrupt the marketing tech space would be to charge based on performance, for an email campaign that could mean marketers only pay for emails which were opened or clicked on, not how many they sent or who they sent them to.
That model, which is not common, has critics in the industry. Derek Laney from Salesforce, argues that view ignores the broader marketing picture.
"While open or click rates are two valid performance indicators for email performance, most marketers are moving their focus to the outcome of the entire journey rather than the performance of an individual step," he said.
Joe Colopy the founder of commerce marketing platform Bronto, which is now owned by Oracle, argued a purely performance model would ultimately need to be measured by lifetime customer value – but that's tricky to measure.
"I am a fan of performance metrics but I don't think that email marketing pricing should be modeled after metrics like opens and clicks. There are inherent challenges with both methods and they miss the point," Colopy told Which-50.
And that point, he suggests at least in ecommerce, is to drive revenue. "Revenue would be the best performance metric but it is very difficult to attribute revenue properly."
Colopy, who now invests in start-ups, argued the industry should shift away from CPM/number of emails sent pricing to database size.
"The industry should trend to pricing by number of contacts/database size-based because increasingly these email marketing/marketing automation platforms are being used as "marketing CRMs", especially in ecommerce. The successful brands build relationships with their contacts over time that eventually leads to revenue. It's about making a lifetime customer versus a one-time buyer."
Similarly, Jason VandeBoom, founder and CEO of ActiveCampaign thinks it's unlikely that email would shift to a performance mode based on clicks or open. Instead, he sees metrics like conversions, new revenue, and other deeper forms of performance becoming more common.
ActiveCampaign, which is opening its first Australian office in Sydney later this year caters for small to medium-sized businesses and charges based on the number of contacts and the product plan tier.
"We believe in fair billing for active contacts though. Meaning — unlike some competitors — we do not charge for contacts that are unsubscribed nor for contacts who are subscribed to multiple lists," he said.
The adtech industry is also facing pressures
According to Evan Simeone, SVP product at supply-side platform PubMatic, his company is already responding to the customer need for new ways of paying.
Currently, key technology companies like PubMatic take as much as 25 per cent of the transaction but the industry expects that figure to drop as low as 15 per cent over time. That's a big hit to revenue and is leading to discussions with clients about alternative models.
On a visit to Australia in March, he told Which-50, "One of the things PubMatic has done over the last few years is offer a new business model to publishers as an alternative to the rev share model where they take a piece of the transaction."
He said a focus on efficiency and technology meant they could offer their product for rent at "favourable prices". According to Simeone this method is much cheaper than a revenue sharing model
"We can provide a complete platform as a solution with all the ads and integration points."
The industry change seems to have been driven by a growing recognition of the importance of companies like PubMatic to brands.
"We originally talked to CROs (chief revenue officers) but then we started talking to the CEO and CTO and they wanted to understand what they needed to do to stay competitive and differentiate themselves," Simeone said.
"So they would ask, 'How much are you saying you would let us run this platform for?' and suddenly things started to change."
Simeone said this is especially so in the last six months. "We are starting to charge more and more of these platform as a service deals for very low CPMs or even a flat fee."

Synopsis: John Wick's origin story continues! In the underworld of El Paso, Texas, a familiar face introduces an ex-con named John Wick to the local branch of the mysterious Continental Hotel, a neutral zone where professional killers spend their downtime. But can John adhere to the rules of the Continental? Or will his search for vengeance destroy his chances for a peaceful life? Also… does John Wick actually have…a cat?
Review: Dynamites John Wick prequel comic continues and Greg Pak picks the story up from where things left off. After having impressed Cheron he gets a tour of the Continental where he attracts much interest from the many patrons of the mysterious hotel. Apparently, Wick's recent hit on Pecos has raised a few eyebrows. Including those of Maria Pecos's former Employer. She offers Wick a job with her crew, but he declines.
The rest of the issue sees Wick setting things up for some more murderous mayhem and it comes thick and fast over the final few pages of the issue as Wick has himself a little reunion with the El Paso underworld. Greg Pak cleverly writes some perfect set up for the meeting and the eventual pay off of this allows the artist Giovanni Valletta to go to work with some incredible action beats as Wick picks people off amid much confusion.
If you're a fan of the John Wick movies. Then you'll most likely really enjoy this comic book series. Greg Pak remains very true to the characters and Valletta's art remains fairly faithful to the visual style of the films. And yes. Wick does look like Keanu Reeves.
Overall. A very enjoyable second issue that builds off of the mythology of the two films and glimpses John Wick's murky past. And yes he does seem rather friendly with a cat.

The things we did to get to where we are
So last night, after a frustrating day at my desk, I slump onto the sofa with my husband to channel surf, and we come across a silly 1995 movie called A Kid in King Arthur's Court.
I know nothing about this movie, except for the brief description that pops up via the info button: "An earthquake transports a California teenager to King Arthur's Camelot." Ho-kay. I like movies about King Arthur, so I continue watching. And a character called Princess Sarah pops up who looks an awful lot like Kate Winslet. Of course, it can't be. Then there's a character called Master Kane who looks like a blond beach boy. I think he also looks a lot like actor Daniel Craig. My husband says that's crazy, of course it can't be Daniel Craig.
So we go onto IMDB, my online source for everything Hollywood, and holy cow. That ridiculous movie had BOTH Kate Winslet and Daniel Craig in the cast! The movie was made before either actor had made their marks as Major Movie Stars.
Do they look back on that film now and wince with embarrassment? Do they harbor fantasies of sneaking into the film vaults and burning every copy? Or do they, like every other Major Movie Star, just count those early duds as the dues they had to pay to make it to the top?
It made me think about writers, and how many of us now look back at our early work and wince. How many of us wish we could destroy every copy of our first novels? How many of us wrote porn to pay the bills? Or churned out articles for iffy magazines?
In my case, I started my career writing romantic thrillers. While I'm not embarrassed by any of those books (and they were not easy to write — no genre is easy!), there are times when I wish I could hide my early romance novels from my current thriller audience because of all the flak I get. Many mystery readers hate romance, any hint of romance, and they make damn sure I know it. But I look back on that period of my career as something I had to do to make it as a writer.
Are any of you embarrassed by something you wrote way back in the years when you were first trying to get a toehold in the industry? Share!
