I'm at the Milwaukee Secure Detention Facility (MSDF), an institution in the Wisconsin Prison System (WPS), participating in the Earned Release Program (ERP). As soon as ERP social worker Ms. Grey got our group in session that morning, I immediately asked her about who were the guys with warrants. It has been the topic of conversation with us since she dropped that bomb the day before. Obviously, we're making plans for our release in 21-31 days. Whoever of us have the warrants, it's going to present a complication. Ms. Grey said the people were cellie Larry Sands and group member Augie Prescott. Sands had thought it was possible it was him but he reasoned it was a good thing as once he sits in Waukesha County Jail for the fine he owes he'll actually get released before the rest of us will. For Prescott, it's a little more complicated. His interstate compact had just been approved. How this will affect everything for him is unclear. But then Ms. Grey told him she wasn't sure it was him, thus continuing the uncertainty. I'm not worried about this. But I feel for Prescott and Sands. We started out taking the test we took when we first started our ERP group. This time we corrected each others. I got 6 wrong. I don't remember how I did last time. Then she announced our second test will actually have to wait. Apparently there are things we hadn't covered yet so we couldn't take the test. Two things of interest that happened in our morning session. First, former cellie Malik Pearl and one guy in his cell were the last ones left from the last graduating ERP class were moved to the ninth floor. Pearl's paperwork hadn't returned from the Brown County Judge involved after 14 days. They needed their beds for the incoming ERP class so off they went to the ninth floor. Man, I hope I don't have issues like this when my time comes to get released! My paperwork will come back from a Winnebago County Judge so we'll see. The second thing was a guy who slept in a bunk near me at Fox Lake Minimum Correctional Institution (FMCI) named Les Simon arrived. He played guitar there and I had been impressed with him as a person. After lunch he joined me at my table in the dayroom while I waited to go to the afternoon session. I got him up to speed on the routine here and he got me caught up on some of the stuff that had gone on there. It seems Percy had gotten him too, giving him 5 days bunk confinement for a petty offense there. The worship team doesn't exist anymore after team members repeatedly stole instruments. They did put on a concert there that raised a lot of money for charity that included a Native American dance put together by my former bunkie prior his release in January. I'm sorry I missed that. But a lot of those I mentioned while I was there are gone. Ms. Greer continues to work hard for people there but she had to set some boundaries. Quite understandable. Far and away she was the best social worker I've encountered in my time in prison. In our afternoon session we watched the movie Omar and Pete, which I've seen on the institutional channel at FMCI. It was quite good, depicting the story of two inmates trying to stay out of prison. We got a 19 question worksheet on this movie due Monday. Afterwards, Ms. Grey had complained about not being able to find the pictures of the transformer for the graduation program. She took me to her office and it turned out all she had to do was scroll across the screen to see it. It was a little embarrassing. She printed it and said she'd bring it to be seen by us but she never came back. That night in the dayroom Les pulled me out into the dayroom to chat some more. That night new cellie Jose Michaels got taken to task by Larry Sands playing his radio out loud, after 11. I didn't like it but I put in my earplugs. I've got 21 days to graduation. I'm not going to let stuff like this get to me.

I'm at the Milwaukee Secure Detention Facility (MSDF), an institution in the Wisconsin Prison System (WPS), participating in the Earned Release Program (ERP). We started Week 12 of the ERP program watching a video called Beyond Conviction, a video focused on Restorative Justice between a crime victim and the perpetrator. The first case involved a man who had raped his sister. She sat down and though he thought he was remorseful I just didn't buy it. Our ERP group leader Ms. Grey questioned me on the intensity of my reaction to the sex offender so I explained my reasoning. His so called tears were fake, he described his actions as if "he was in a movie" clearly trying to distance himself from this actions and said at the end how he just wants to forget the whole experience (Prison) in such a way it screamed he was a victim. Perhaps my background influences my feelings but one of my skills is reading people and I'm usually right. But I suppose its possible. The second case involved a man who had killed another man while in prison for allegedly being a snitch. He met with his mother who wanted him to assure her that the ideal view she had of her son was true. The perpetrator denied doing the deed but admitted to knowing about it beforehand. He couldn't be forthcoming due to pending appeals which made me wonder if this was too early to try restorative justice with him. The last case was a man who killed a woman he said he loved because she didn't want to be with him. The victim was the daughter of the woman who had been killed and whom this inmate had cared for early in her life. This was genuine. It's really all I can say. You'll have to see the video. Ms. Grey handed out the week schedule. After today (Monday), no group was scheduled so we could work on our ERP Treatment Goals and Objectives and a "ripple effect poster". This poster is suppose to describe what we have lost as a result of our crime. If you've been following along you know I'm well aware of this. That night I set to work on my poster. I came up with the idea of the Domino Effect to depict what has happened with me. It was simple and to the point. The following day I finished all my objectives for my goals. The last item was the five page essay on the book, Anger Is A Choice by Tim Lattaye and Bob Phillips. It was a good book particularly on the spiritual end. Ms. Grey surprised us and showed up for group for abut 15 minutes. She handed out envelopes with slips of paper, then those who didn't get them were asked how they felt. It was different. The The consensus was among us that she had to get group at some point that day according to some directive. The bad news is the rest of the week it looks like I won't have a lot of work to do. That's ok. I've got letters to write and books to read.

I'm at the Milwaukee Secure Detention Facility (MSDF), an institution in the Wisconsin Prison System (WPS), participating in the Earned Release Program (ERP). The new cellie, Corey Ball, is settled in but cellie Andre Charles won't act out in front of him. He went off on me about supposedly looking at him again. But he waited until Ball left the room. What followed was the usual shouts and threats and finally I caved. I told him I'd leave him alone in the cell from 8 to 9 am instead of staying in our cell like we're allowed to do prior to ERP group. In exchange, for the remainder of his time, the complaints will stop. Like I believe that's going to happen! Afterwards, Andre left the cell and I'm told others asked about the noise and he snapped on them to mind their own business. One inmate told him to go ahead and get in his face and to watch what happens. Charles backed off. Good thing too. I know the one who confronted him and he is every bit as unstable as he is. There is no ERP group on Wednesday mornings. On Wednesday afternoon our ERP group leader Ms. Grey had us watch the movie Pay It Forward starring Kevin Spacey and Helen Hunt. I've seen it before and its one of the best I would say. There was no time for discussion so she handed out a worksheet to fill out. She also handed out a schedule for the week and it indicated Thursday and Friday would be a "Paperwork Day", that is time to allow us to get some of the work on our ERP Goals and Objectives done. Once group was complete I returned to my cell and all the cellies were there. I helped Ball with his antenna for his TV. He had ordered one of the pricey Digital televisions off the catalogs but it didn't help his reception any. Andre joked I couldn't fix mine so how could I fix his? Just like everything was back to normal or at least if it was suppose to be. We all were still trying to be on our best behavior in front of the new guy. We had canteen that night and talk turned to the graduation party for Andre next Friday. I stayed out of the conversation but I knew I'd get asked to contribute. Ball is good at making "hookups" which is to combine several items into one dish. I don't care for doing that because it can get pretty expensive. But I went along with it for the sake of harmony among us. My contribution would be tortilla shells, refried beans and pepper slices. A total of $3.74. I really have to hold back what I truly wanted to say about having a party for Andre. But its almost like real life isn't it? Everyday you have to accommodate people and do things that you don't necessarily want to for the greater good of a given environment and I suppose this is no different. Well of course it's different but you know what I mean.
Protests and Victim Impact LettersPosted: July 27, 2011 in Uncategorized

I'm at the Milwaukee Secure Detention Facility (MSDF), an institution in the Wisconsin Prison System (WPS), participating in the Earned Release Program (ERP). It's been an interesting last couple of days. It's February 17th and there are thousands of people in Madison protesting the state worker unions losing the ability to negotiate on behalf of their works on most issues. Why am I mentioning that here? Obviously, the people that work here are concerned as it directly impacts them. Rumors are getting fed around here by conversations overheard, that in the event of this law passes there will be a strike called by their union and that Gov. Walker has lined up the National Guard to come in and replace them. Of course, then the question follows, what becomes of us in the ERP programs at various stages of completion if that should occur? Opinions vary from accelerated graduations (unlikely in my opinion), that the time would still count, the graduation date won't change, or that despite our contracts, we signed when we got ERP from PRC we'd have to start the program over again and be stuck here until it does. Let's face it, nobody knows and it isn't logical to get worked up about such things we can't control but of course, that doesn't stop it from happening. The guys slated to graduate the first week of March (including Andre Charles) are really on edge, but you can't blame them for that. Now the Democrats in the Legislature have fled the state, its left the whole thing in limbo with no end in sight. That's the worst kind of limbo don't you think? But life goes on in spite of the uncertainty for us just as it would for you. Today's group focused on Victim impact of crimes. Ms. Grey, our ERP Coordinator, admitted the presentation was more suited for property or violent crimes than an OWI offender group but still I'd argue the basic concept is the same. My alcoholism has had significant impact on these to write a letter to someone who has been impacted by our drinking asking them to write a letter detailing how we have hurt them by our use of alcohol. My letter will be going to my ex-wife JoAnn. After it's written, it gets sent back to Ms. Grey where I'll have to read it in front of the group. She'll be brutal and probably will be unfair at certain points but that's ok. Some group members were unhappy and were scheming how to get around doing this. I don't know why. It's not like we'll be hanging out together when we get out. I guess I can be smug. I laid everything out there with my autobiography. But it's the end of Week 11 of ERP with 15 to go.

Signal Live Stream Q&A
Here is the recording of our Signal Live Stream where we go over some scene files made with our new animation Plugin, Signal.
We also answer questions about Signal from the live chat.
Playing with this new tool over the last few months has really changed my animation workflow in Cinema 4D. I'm excited to finally launch this and have it available to you.
Learn More About Signal
I'm liking "Signal". Can you put a "sound effector" in the "Add Modifiers" folder?
I would really like music tracks to drive "Signal". Any way thanks. Your the BEST.
Is it possible with signal to animate the mine shaft exercise without keyframes?
The playback mode pingpong is using the same curve just backwards. Why don't you add another pingpong without mirroring the curve?
Let's say the object is growing fast at the beginning and also starts fast with shrinking.
And thanks for all the great work!
I made he switch from Softimage to C4D when the Softimage EOL announcement came out (after evaluating many apps, including Houdini and Modo). Having now used C4D for a few months in production, I have to say that the one thing that was always a struggle was understanding how to get noise to drive channels that we're not just motion or deformation of points, but to drive parameters like the intensity of a light (for example). Noise came along at the PERFECT time for me, because this is something I need to do a lot in my VFX work, and it was always a struggle. I can't wait to play with Signal and see how it makes uh tinge easier for my day-in and day-out work. Thank you all so much for this very useful plugin!
Hey guys,
I tried to link the MoText attribute to signal so I could animate from one character to another for a simple loop, however It doesn't seem to work. Any suggestions?
Really loving Signal, have been transferring the animations I make with it into Unity3D without any issues or needing to convert to keyframes 😀
Great! I'm a Mexican designer. I started with photoshop but then go to cinema 4D, I learned many of you, thank you! done great tutorials!
I hope you do not mind but I downloaded all tutorials :).
Ignacio T. Huizar
Can u use Signal on xpresso tag and from there make it be driven by sound ? or at all be used with xpresso
Great plugin.
I don't see that signal can be used for point level animation. Am I correct here – I don't see any interface option here you can drag up to the signal icon…
Please, please, please put together a less frantic tut on using signal to create cool camera moves — like for car commercials. Malty has a cool script for AE that does this and I'm CONVINCED Signal could do the same for us in C4D. Best use of multiple nulls and cameras etc.
Here's the vid: http://vimeo.com/67639426
Many thanks
you wanna check out the free plugin "steady cam pro". it takes a bit to get used too but it is by far the best camera rig i have ever used. the possibilieties are endless.
once you get a hold of it is a bit like mograph, in that way that you start combining different techniques the rig offers to achieve very complex cam moves
Is there an update coming – converting to keyframes is pretty useless at the moment.
When I try to convert Signal animations to keyframes so that I can use send my scene files to render farms, the process takes forever – and more than once, Cinema has completely hung while converting to key frames.
Just got Signal… and I am hooked!
p.s. My wife is going to beat me.
hey nick,
i have been with you from the very beginning and i have to thank you (and chris for that matter) for greatly helping me learn c4d.
though, now is the time for criticism. i have very very mixed feelings about signal and transform. i strongly believe that this raises an army of preset zombies. don't get me wrong, your plugins are well made and are (sometimes) useful in the hand of a skilled c4d users but i find it very dangerous to rely on that.
i was so happy when i finally started to really get mograph and all of a sudden i was able to realize my ideas within c4d rather than forcing the idea/design into my technical horizon. i was able to think of something and actually do that in mograph. this is were i really got better, first of all in designing stuff but also in technical stuff. after that, the knowledge train kept on moving.
your light kit is so great…because it helps you design instead of feeding you presets.
on the other side, i guess this helps people to make good looking stuff fast and hopefully starts an interest in understanding the gears and bolts behind it.
please nick, no hard feelings. i really respect you and what you did for the c4d community. just my 2 cents.

This completes one (leap) year of thing-a-day posts. The picture above is a sampling of some of the images I've created during the year. As I reflect on what happened, I'm proud of a lot of the things I've accomplished and thought I would share some thoughts about the experience.
Doing one creative thing every day forced me to tackle more personal projects than I ever have before. It is quite a self inflicted commitment, but one worth undertaking. When you have to do something creative everyday, the only way that such a project will work is if you go beyond what you're comfortable with. You have to get over your fear of things not being perfect and accept the result of your work. I feel as if I've gained confidence that I can create meaningful work here and now, instead of waiting for creativity to strike. I find that the fabled 'writer's block' is caused by stagnation and a lack of experimentation.
If I had to highlight some of my favorite projects, building custom electronics and getting more and more comfortable with DIY projects was one of the most rewarding things I worked on. Using tools that I've made is something I hope to continue. I also enjoyed participating in the Disquiet Junto, which was started in January 2012 as well. What I enjoyed most about that experience was the community of musicians and positive feedback that we gave each other. The Junto was also all about using limitations as a way to jump-start creativity, another important tool in anybody's toolbox. In 2012, I also started experimenting with tape loops more and I'm finding that this also seems to go well with my gravitation more towards a 'handmade' aesthetic in my music and further away from using the computer.
I plan to continue blogging here and updating with posts about my creative projects. I have many goals for the year 2013 and I'm excited to work on bigger projects, such as recording my second album. So many of the things I've discovered this year will be used in my future work.
Finally,thank you to everyone who followed my progress this past year and encouraged me.

Look down, now look back up. You're on a volcano, with the man your man could kill like.
It's no secret that we here at The Escapist love the Old Spice Guy commercials. A bunch of us love Resident Evil, too - which is why this video makes us laugh so much.
It's Resident Evil's Albert Wesker doing his own take on the Old Spice commercials, only instead of espousing the benefits of manly (yet refreshing) deodorant, he's trying to convince all of us to inject our bodies with the Uroboros strain. Oh sure Wesker, it might give us godlike powers, but it doesn't give us anything to protect us from rocket launcher strikes, does it?
The best part of this video is that it actually features the voice of D.C. Douglas, Wesker's real-life voice actor. So yeah, that's actually Wesker giving the spiel. It's pretty effective, in a way.
The video itself is a little over a month old, but it's just now making the rounds here - and I certainly hadn't seen it, which means it's still news to us!

- Traditionally they don't add turmeric powder to this recipe, and the looks of the recipe is white, so my son said it white curry, when he had it in the terrace party.. ;-) but as i love the flavor of turmeric powder, i always add a lil bit and make it light yellow.. :-)
- Cook it in low-medium flame by covering the lid. Remember to stir in between.
- Add green chilli and sugar when you are halfway.
- Continue cover, stir cook routine till potatoes are soft but still retain their shape.
- There should be just a little water in this curry.
- Serve this quickest, easiest and yummy curry with luchi/poori/paratha/roti...enjoy.. :-)
Note :-
Sometimes i add sliced or chopped onion and tomatoes to the above recipe and flavor with roasted cumin powder, which also tastes good. U just have to add and saute onion after the tempering and add the tomatoes with the green chillies..U can always garnish with ever delicious coriander leaves... :-)

"These are really good. I like that they don't taste like pure sugar. We got to get these."
That's a quote from my 13-year-old after he tried Duchy Originals Highland All Butter Shortbread. At the Natural Products Expo, I was given some samples of the cookies created by Prince Charles' line of natural and organic foods. His Duchy Originals brand has been sold mainly in the U.K. since it began in 1992, but it's being brought to America. The company is starting with its shortbread cookies and biscuits.
Prince Charles, who last year gave an impressive call-to-action speech about sustainable farming at Georgetown University's Future of Food conference, had the gardens at his residence's Duchy Home Farms converted to organic in 1986 and started using food grown on the farm in Duchy Originals food line in 1992.
I like the Duchy Originals Good Food Charter. It says simply that every product "is good," "does good" and "tastes good."
"Is good" means that the company uses sustainable farming methods and expert producers to create the products.
"Does good" means that a portion of sale of Duchy Originals goes to charity through The Prince of Wales Charitable Foundation.
"Tastes good" means they create the finest products made with the finest ingredients. (My son would totally agree with the "tastes good" part.)
What are these fine ingredients in the shortbread? They're all natural, non-GMO, Kosher and suitable for vegetarians. The butter used comes from cows that have been given no antibiotics or bovine growth hormones. Some of the flour used in the shortbread is grown on the organic Duchy Home Farms.
What I liked best about the taste of Highland All Butter Shortbread was something my son touched on — they don't taste like pure sugar. They're the type of cookie that you can have just one or two of and not have an incredible desire to keep eating the rest of the box like you can have with overly sugary cookies. One or two, with a nice cup of tea, would make a lovely afternoon snack.

Judith's professional writing career began in 1989. A bored stay-at-home mom, she occasionally fled mommy monotony by running away to the local public library for an hour or two. There she discovered historical romance novels. Always a lover of history (and 1940s & 50s technicolor movies — especially starring Charleton Heston or any redhead ala Eleanor Parker, Susan Hayward or Maureen O'Hara) she found the so-called "bodice-rippers" to be the perfect mix. The history interested her and the romance was a fun fantasy escape.
"I could do this," she thought . And on a lark she wrote a sex scene. No character names. No plot. No setting. No intent to do anything but amuse herself. Then she showed it to a friend, who loved it. "You should so write a book!" the friend said. And so she did.
Judith's first historical romance was published in 1991. Fires in the Night was the quintessential "Shiek book" . . . scorching Saharan sands, brooding desert maurauder, captured European spitfire . . . all the stereotypic plot lines and characters. But it sold. And it earned her a 2-book contract. It also earned 3 reviewer awards. In 2017 Judith rewrote Fires, adding dialog and details her publisher's guidelines wouldn't allow in the 90s. She republished it in Kindle format with a new (and NON bodice-ripper cover).
Judith's next book, A Knight's Desire, was a medieval romance. Knights and ladies, court intrigue based upon a real royal murder, a flawed hero and a villian readers fell in love with … By far Knight's was her most popular. Originally published in 1992, it was also tweaked in 2016. It has also been released in Kindle.
Her final romance, published in 1994, went way out of the lines. An unusual time period, her Roman centurion turned slave in ancient Britain featured a daring plot detail– a love scene between two Celtic warriors. Her editor balked big time. Then she read it and said "What the hell." Accurate in military detail, it was read by her military son serving in Afghanistan in 2015. (Frontline soldiers recovering and resting back at base were desperate for reading material. When well-meaning folks back home sent boxes of books, a lot of romance novels ended up in the hands of our troops.) Released on Kindle, Hearts Enslaved hasn't had the popularity of her prior books. An unfortunate reality because Judith always felt it featured her best hero. But the military detail was accurate and the story earned the highest praise and her best compliment to date: "It was actualy really good, Mom. But I had to rip the stupid cover off."
In 2016 Judith returned to writing. This time she tackled non-fiction, chronicling her online dating misadventures in a humor/ how-to/ do not do/ memoir. A 2018 Readers' Favorite Bronze Medal winner for best humor book, I Still Want Fireworks has earned reader and reviewer praise as "a rollicking ride" and "a must-read" for any woman who has had – or is considering – an online dating adventure. Available in paperback and Kindle, I Still Want Fireworks' greatest success has been this humor blog it inspired into being.
For further details, refer back the the blog post "I Still Want Fireworks."
Also available on Amazon: "Fact is Stranger Than Fiction," "Breakups & Starting Over," "Relationships," and " Men, Sex & Intimacy." These compilations of her most popular humor pieces (many of which are no longer available for viewing on the blog site), are available in both kindle and paperback.

We had just the special boy he was looking for to help ease the pain of his sudden loss. Lucky was rescued from a shelter in Tupelo, Mississippi who had contacted us for help. After Lucky's journey to Florida and treatment for heartworms, Lucky went to work, was very loyal to his new mission at the station and earned his badge at the Miramar Fire Dept. We are saddened to learn of Lucky's passing. He will be remembered in the most honorable way and has left his paw print on the hearts of many he met. Our thoughts and prayers are with Frank and Janice at this time. Their other adopted Dally Dallas is really missing his buddy Lucky. Perhaps when hearts are not so tender Dallas can come back to select a new spotted brother. We miss you Luckmeister!!!!! Godspeed our friend!

Mood Management
Getting sober is often only a first small step in getting well. Many recovering alcoholics must also face an underlying depression that seems to mock their efforts to attain real serenity. But sobriety does not cause the depression. It simply lays bare a condition that was present all along, but had been masked by repeated binges. It's probably true, too, that many of us used alcohol partly as a drug to combat depression because it temporarily lifted our mood and relieved our pain.
One fact about depression is that it comes and goes; we can endure it partly by knowing that "this too shall pass." Another fact is that physical activity helps in coping with it. AA cofounder Bill W., victimized by profound depression even in his sober years, found that walking provided some relief, though he had to force himself to do it at times. A third fact about depression is that we can usually alleviate its effects by helping others and by staying close to AA circles, even when we're too depressed to contribute much. It's also helpful to discuss the problem with understanding friends and sponsors, or a therapist, if necessary.
I'll believe today that I can maintain a good mood level that continues to build as I carry out my responsibilities and make AA first in my life. Depression may challenge me, but I don't have to give in to it.

Truth, Lies, and Climate Change
Notwithstanding the established death toll of 2,975 people in Puerto Rico from Hurricane Maria, President Trump persists in asserting that it is limited to double digits. But Trump is hardly the first national leader to prevaricate when it comes to the consequences of extreme weather. World leaders lie about the costs and consequences of extreme weather and climate change because they are motivated to do so, and—with the exception of blatantly false statements like Trump's—their lies are difficult to expose….

Plexistor's Software Defined Memory architecture converges memory and storage technologies to drastically reduce latency and significantly improve performance of data-intensive applications.
Mountain View CA-headquartered startup Plexistor has announced the availability of its next-generation data center platform based on its new Software Defined Memory (SDM) architecture. It converges memory and storage technologies to deliver high capacity storage at near-memory speed for in-memory compute and data-intensive applications.
"Traditional storage was done with block-based technology, and on top of that, you put a file system," said Sharon Azulai, Plexistor's CEO. "We came to the conclusion that we needed a new technology that is not block oriented, where you can make changes on the storage itself. That's our 'storage class' memory. It's built from the ground up. We created a new layer that took everything out and created a direct interface from the application to the memory storage."
The result, Azulai said, is managed completely different from traditional storage.
"We converged memory and storage together, on what can be viewed as either a very fast storage device or a very large memory device — and it's managed by our software. My previous company was primary data, and we found it was easy to generate millions of IOPS — but that didn't translate into performance improvement for applications, because the app didn't know what to do with the IOPS. We realized then that latency is the issue, and we had to focus on that."
Azulai said that this convergence of memory and storage technologies significantly improve performance in both new and traditional applications, including relational databases, in-memory databases, NoSQL, big data analytics, and complex event processing.
"We can create for the first time, extremely low latency for applications, because latency is three microseconds from the application level," he stated. That means, for example, that SQL database latency is reduced by 24x, and that MongoDB performance improved by 450 per cent without sacrificing data persistency. In addition, Plexistor's technology allows it to overcome the low capacity issues that limit RAM and cache products.
"Our long term vision is that 12 months from now, we will be able to offer customers 6 TB of storage class memory," Azulai said.
Azulai indicated that they view storage class memory as compatible with the hyperconverged vendors.
"What we really will displace is the DRAM vendors," he said. "You need less memory. That's the bottom line. On the other hand, we can extend the potential of SSDs and hyperconverged vendors to get even further into the data center. We can fit in the same bucket as Nutanix."
Azulai also emphasized that their go-to-market strategy by definition depends on working with other vendors.
"We have two ISV partners that we will be co-marketing and promoting the solution with, which can add much more value to their customers. We are also working with server vendors, Because we are container based, this brings more value to server vendors like Dell."
The target market includes large enterprises, but it also could mean anything down to smaller business providing the business runs applications like MongoDB and has to deal with I/O bottleneck and latency issues. Digital advertising, log analysis, personalization, financial applications, cybersecurity, and DevOps are typical use cases.
"The market is very much app-specific," Azulai said. "We are focusing very strongly on MongoDB, then Cassandra. Some applications will not benefit, like VDI. On the other hand, we have a customer with 5 people, who runs Mongo DB, and we allow them to have data on one machine instead of 10."
The ability of smaller companies to access the SDM solution is facilitated by its being available on AWS out of the gate as a free community edition, as well as both on-premise and cloud-based deployments. The community edition can be downloaded here.
"We have done this free on AWS to engage the market," Azulai said. "It also serves as a way to engage the on-prem market and test it. Will the AWS solution ever be revenue generating? At some point perhaps."
Plexistor is also making use of the channel right out of the date. Azulai said that while they sold direct to some reference customers "because of the need to show the proof in the pudding in the beginning," they plan a low-touch engagement strategy that relies on partners.
"We have a large customer in southern California who wanted a full solution, so they brought in an SI who did the entire engagement with the customer," he said. "We provide the basic license and do the first line support, but we aren't going to engage with customers with a high touch approach. It will be a low touch engagement, with ISVs, server vendors and system integrators."

I kept instructions from a Handmade magazine last year for a project I thought looked interesting and useful. My interest was sparked by the crocheted edge. I am interested in progressing my newly acquired skills in reading a crochet pattern and one of the reasons I wanted to learn this was to crochet edges. While I don't carry teabags around with me, I know people who do, so thought this might make a pleasing gift.
So recently I dug around in my stash for suitable fabric and came up with the bottom of a dress I made and wore in the 80s - a Paisley Liberty cotton. It needed a bit of unpicking, but yielded a piece of fabric the required size - 27.5cm x 59cm.
In line with instructions, I buttonhole stitched around the outer edge of the folded fabric using ecru crochet cotton and crocheted a chain on top of it.
I then followed the crochet pattern to finish the edge. It actually worked!

Metamorphosis animal by Enric Macià
I love Enric Macià photography. He is great photographer and my friend. Today starts his exhibition "Metamorphosis animal" in Spain.
Author about photos: "Metamorphosis animal" comes from fear of finding oneself, the obligation to be like society wants us to be, how are we really? One of the best ways that exist to rediscover what we were, is undressing in front a mirror, and the result will be a personal catharsis. All the fear that causes this reunion is to not like we are.
The only way I've been struggling to find power, is creating an army of animals and metamorphosed, to make me stronger to fight the fear of my staff reunion.

When launching "Traktor.exe" (version 2.8.0 or higher) in 32-bit mode from the following location: C: > Program Files > Native Instruments > Traktor 2 > x86 > "Traktor.exe", you will encounter the following error message: The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log or use the command-line sxstrace.exe tool for more details.
In order to launch the 32-bit version of TRAKTOR correctly, the "Traktor.exe" file must be first moved from the x86 folder to the Traktor 2 application folder, as explained below:
- Rename the "Traktor.exe" found in the Traktor 2 folder to "Traktor 64.exe". This will be your backup 64-bit application.
- Go to the x86 folder and move the 32-bit "Traktor.exe" file to the Traktor 2 folder. Now your Traktor 2 folder should contain both files "Traktor 64.exe" (64-bit) and "Traktor.exe" (32-bit).
You can now launch "Traktor.exe" (32-bit) without getting any errors. You may also create a Desktop shortcut for quick access.

5 Bribe Examples of Growing the Email List
Have you recently started with your own blog? Is the content up-to-date and engaging? Are you wondering why customers are not subscribing to your newsletter? This is a common issue faced by email marketers. Today, people do not wish to receive blog updates on their email. Now, customers have Facebook, Twitter, and Snapchat. Now, marketers need to have solid and more tempting incentives to pique the interest of the digital customers and to grow the marketing list. Focus on cleaning the list using email verifier to further leverage the advantage of the marketing list.
Here are a few ways to offer something valuable to the customers in exchange for their email address.
1) Access to online or email courses
Email automation empowers your brand to send a series of emails at the desired time whenever a customer completes an action. Many bloggers and brand use this strategy to send an email or online courses to the recipients. The email courses can include tips and tricks about something useful to the customers. If you offer AC servicing, you can create an email course on maintenance of AC and ways to keep it free from dust and other particulate matter. Moreover, you can either chose to send one email daily or once a week to engage the subscribers.
2) Free template download
Templates are not just limited to the web or email designing. It can come handy in creating resumes, content strategies, newsletters, spreadsheets, and calendars, which can be useful to the customers. Giving away an enticing and useful template in exchange for a recipient's email address is worth the efforts. Today, online customers simply love to receive anything useful for free and template design is one such thing, which can help you grow your email list multi-fold. You can always use email verifier to see if the emails they are entering are valid or not.
3) Free access to webinars
Since long-time webinars are used by companies and marketers to turn leads into customers. According to a research up to 40% of the webinar attendees turn into qualified leads and long-term customers. This statistics should surely urge you to start a webinar related to any topic that might interest the target audience. There is no harm in giving it a try.
4) Premium content
Turning a blog into a member only website is a great way to build the list and increase the revenue. It will make your blog more productive and viewable. Premium content creates curiosity in the minds of the readers and they do not mind sharing their email address to access the premium content. However, for a start-up company, it is not advisable to start with a premium blog because the customers are clueless about your brand. Therefore, first build your blog, connect with the target audience and then focus on premium content to accelerate the growth of your email list.
5) Giveaways and free e-books
Giveaways and free ebooks are an excellent tactic to grow the marketing list. Furthermore, give the e-book to the customers whenever they sign-up for your email campaign.
Whatever list building tactic you focus on, remember to clean the list using email verifier.

In Part 1 of this article I outlined aspects of our play that need to be improved upon and one aspect that needed to be implemented which is counter-attacking. In this part I will talk much more analytically and attempt to combine all the above points into one hopefully impressive tactical system.
Mourinho is disliked for the type of football he propagates within all the clubs he touches however there is one undeniable truth and that is that he is truly one of the best tacticians in football today. The mantra I am referring to is his ability to create game-plans for a single match that have multiple stages that build upon each other.
This process of going from stage one to stage two is sometimes caused by a clever substitution but often it is simply a tactical reshuffle among the players. The jump from stage two to stage three is always the result of substitutions.
Heynckes is no layman when it comes to tactical astuteness; this is noticeable with the extremely risky substitutions and formation changes he makes when Bayern Munich are behind (literally throwing everyone forward). However, I feel unlike Mourinho there is no staged process in the tactics, there is plan A – The FC Bayern Way, and a stage two of plan A if everything is going correct i.e. Bayern score early goals are winning comfortably therefore we slow down the pace to rest our players for the midweek Champions League match etc. Otherwise, there is simply plan B – The emergency situation which usually has to do with subbing out defenders for attackers and throwing as many people forward as possible, in situations when we are down to 10men it often results in us utilizing a 3-man defense.
In my opinion, Robbery alone provide such an exceptional foundation to build staged game plans upon that it is a wasted opportunity from Heynckes not to utilize them in this fashion. Unlike Madrid, FC Bayern's bench is not as strong to allow for the staged process to be completely dependent on substitutions but also unlike Madrid, the amount of danger from the wings that Robbery provides is second to none.
When any match first starts out the two coaches observe each others tactics for the first fifteen odd minutes before adjusting their team appropriately to counter each other. Once the players are in some form of tactical defensive or offensive rhythm it is difficult for them to quickly change from that.
I believe that Stage 1 of our tactical plan should absolutely LIMIT Robbery from making their usual dribbling mazy runs unless absolutely necessary (once or twice when they beat the defender or in a counter attack). Instead they should be psyching out the opponents defenders to become wary of our impressive centre and our dangerous CF. What this means is that:
- Stop distributing from defense to wings, instead do it from the center.
- Robbery needs to attempt to do 1-2's with Kroos and Schweinsteiger or attempt to pass back to Lahm/Rafinha who can then immediately lay it off to Kroos/Schweinsteiger.
- Kroos and Schweinsteiger need to CONSTANTLY take long shots at goal more often than attempting to pass it to Müller or Gomez.
- Robbery need to also keep throwing early crosses into the box for the opponents to worry about the threat that Gomez possesses. Note: Key is early crosses, i.e. receive-one-touch-cross. Not beat the defender – get to the corner flag – cross.
Moving on to Stage 2. Stage 2 is very similar to what Bayern play like currently but all the trouble that 10man defense or counter attacking teams give us would be negated. What does this slight limitation on Robbery's play in Stage 1 provide the team in the long run of the match? Here are the answers:
- Defenders become more worried about stopping Robbery's distribution to the center therefore they start making intercepting runs instead of covering on TOP of Robbery which means there is less pressure on Robbery, less double-teaming which means they have much more space to work their magic with later on.
- The constant pressure from Kroos and Schweinsteigers long shots will draw defenders out to cover them which means that later on Kroos or Schweinsteiger can simply lay the ball off to Müller/Gomez or Robbery who would be making indirect runs towards the centre. This results in easy goals without worrying about the off-side traps or multiple defenders on our key goal threats.
- The constant goal-threat although means that we will turnover possession more (if shots go awry) it also means that there is a greater chance of scoring from set-pieces in the form of a constant supply of corners.
- Early crosses into Gomez that he is able to partially connect with on a few occasions would again stretch the defenders apart making them worried about being on Gomez thus indirectly spoiling their offside trap and again creating space in the center for Müller/Kroos and Schweinsteiger to work.
This means that Bayern Munich simply does not play one way (Stage 2 way) from the beginning which in my opinion is still a heavy possession based LVG style with high dependence on the wings.
I believe the early, less possession more direct-attacking play-style will open up so many possibilities for Bayern that defenders simply won't have answers to it. Yes, this high rate of possession turnover leaves us open for counter-attacks but what did we pay so much for Neuer and Boateng? They should be able to handle counter-attacks. Even if we do get conceded upon we should be able to outscore the opponents with this two-staged attack.
The last stage would always be scenario specific, depending on the score Heynckes could employ defensive rigidity, counter-attacking or all out offensive (highly unlikely). This just means that we can do a lot of damage without depending on our bench players as much.
Scenario One – Comfortable 2-0, 3-1, lead
Subbing in Olić/Gustavo/Tymoshchuk/Alaba for Robben/Ribéry/Müller/Kroos/Gomez means that we become more solid defensively, rest our key attackers and also slow down the pace and play possession based.
Scenario Two – A 1-0 or 2-1 lead against dangerous opponents
In this scenario only subbing in Gustavo/Tymoshchuk for Kroos should be done. As we would still need Robben/Ribéry/Müller to break and kill the game off on counter-attacks by looking for that elusive second goal.
Scenario Three – A 0-1 or 0-2 loss
Switch to a 3-man defense of Boateng-Badstuber and Lahm, sub in Alaba and Olić for Müller/Rafinha and go all out offensive.
I hope that Bayern Munich implements a somewhat similar multiple staged attack which involves all of our midfielders and strikers. Currently, we are far too dependent on the wings and are under-utilizing our CM's. We need to play from the center as much as we play from the wings, we need to play direct as often as we play possession based. We need to play counter-attacking football to utilize our pace. Bayern needs to remember that although Gomez has evolved heaps and bounds technically and is now able to score goals with his back to the goal or under tonnes of pressure he made his name at Stuttgart for being an exceptional counter-attacking striker. This would also play to his strengths.

Indieweb definition
The IndieWeb is a global community of hackers, tinkerers, and makers that are creating communication protocols, libraries, and software to power a decentralized social web. The IndieWeb focusses heavily on "dogfooding" or using these experimental new technologies in your daily web activity
June 2016
a people-focused alternative to the 'corporate web'.
Your content is yours
When you post something on the web, it should belong to you, not a corporation. Too many companies have gone out of business and lost all of their users' data. By joining the IndieWeb, your content stays yours and in your control.
You are better connected
Your articles and status messages can go to all services, not just one, allowing you to engage with everyone. Even replies and likes on other services can come back to your site so they're all in one place.
You are in control
You can post anything you want, in any format you want, with no one monitoring you. In addition, you share simple readable links such as example.com/ideas These links are permanent and will always work.
Key principles of building on the indie web, numbered for reference, not necessarily for any kind of priority.
Own your data.
Use visible data for humans first, machines second. See also DRY.
Build tools for yourself, not for all of your friends. It's extremely hard to fight Metcalfe's law: you won't be able to convince all your friends to join the independent web. But if you build something that satisfies your own needs, but is backwards compatible for people who haven't joined in (say, by practicing POSSE), the time and effort you've spent building your own tools isn't wasted just because others haven't joined in yet.
Eat your own dogfood. Whatever you build should be for yourself. If you aren't depending on it, why should anybody else? We call that selfdogfooding. More importantly, build the indieweb around your needs. If you design tools for some hypothetical user, they may not actually exist; if you build tools for yourself, you actually do exist. selfdogfooding is also a form of "proof of work" to help focus on productive interactions.
Document your stuff. You've built a place to speak your mind, use it to document your processes, ideas, designs and code. At least document it for your future self.
Open source your stuff! You don't have to, of course, but if you like the existence of the indie web, making your code open source means other people can get on the indie web quicker and easier.
UX and design is more important than protocols, formats, data models, schema etc. We focus on UX first, and then as we figure that out we build/develop/subset the absolutely simplest, easiest, and most minimal protocols & formats sufficient to support that UX, and nothing more. AKA UX before plumbing.
Build platform agnostic platforms. The more your code is modular and composed of pieces you can swap out, the less dependent you are on a particular device, UI, templating language, API, backend language, storage model, database, platform. The more your code is modular, the greater the chance that at least some of it can and will be re-used, improved, which you can then reincorporate.
Longevity. Build for the long web. If human society is able to preserve ancient papyrus, Victorian photographs and dinosaur bones, we should be able to build web technology that doesn't require us to destroy everything we've done every few years in the name of progress.
Plurality. With IndieWebCamp we've specifically chosen to encourage and embrace a diversity of approaches & implementations. This background makes the IndieWeb stronger and more resilient than any one (often monoculture) approach.
Have fun. Remember that GeoCities page you built back in the mid-90s? The one with the Java applets, garish green background and seventeen animated GIFs? It may have been ugly, badly coded and sucky, but it was fun, damnit. Keep the web weird and interesting.

Setting up or running a business of your own takes a certain set of skills, and you might think they're the same 'transferable skills' that employers look for in top-class job candidates.
But that's not always the case, and you can often find that, while you're not well suited to working for somebody else, you've got exactly what it takes to succeed in business for yourself.
Remember the old adage that some are born to lead, while others are born to follow – and while there's nothing wrong with being a 'follower' in the world of employment, that might not be your true calling.
Here are just a few of the ways in which you might currently be infuriating a manager, when you could be your own boss.
'No Man is an Island'
Naturally, in business, you can't exist in total isolation – you need clients, customers, suppliers and so on.
But if 'being a team player' is leaving you without the opportunity to shine on your own – and dragging down your standards as inept colleagues make mistakes – switching to a self-employed could serve your more insular instincts well.
As your own boss (and, in a sense, your own employee) your priorities are your own too. You can work at creating exactly the kind of business ethic you approve of, promoting yourself and your services on your own terms, and generally being the best you can be, without the limitations of other people's rules.
A One-Man Ideas Factory
Or a one-woman ideas factory, for that matter. Regardless of age, gender, or any other characteristic that might leave you overlooked on the conventional promotion ladder, setting up in business for yourself lets you put your ideas into practice and find out if they work.
In contrast, being just one more employee in a large firm can feel like whistling into the wind – you're left struggling to make your voice heard, while your ideas can be lost amid a sea of suggestions from colleagues all clamouring to make a good impression too.
Work When You Want
Depending on the business you're launching, you might be able to work more flexibly.
Clearly this doesn't apply if you're a retailer or need to be open to client calls during normal office hours, but in some instances, you can put in the hours when you choose, rather than being held to a fixed timetable.
You'll need motivation and self-discipline – and many freelancers in even the most flexible industries stick to a 9-5 working day just to give them some structure – but if you find you work best at night, when there are often fewer distractions, this is one way you can structure your working life to suit your own strengths.
Sell Yourself
Finally, if you've got a genuine love of marketing, working for yourself can mean promoting yourself, too.
Rather than being on a fixed income and negotiating for a measly annual pay rise, your earnings are limited only by your own imagination, sales abilities and the total size of your target market – and that last point is rarely the limiting factor that comes into effect.
Identify all of your strengths and promote them to your potential customers and clients – and you might just find that your unique approach is exactly what they've been looking for, even if it wasn't enough to satisfy your former employers.

Ottawa Accident Lawyer: Tailgating Test..do you do it ?
Ottawa Accident Lawyer David Hollingsworth discusses what exactly is a tailgate accident…We all have places to go and we all want to get there as quickly as possible. I understand . Many Ottawa accidents occur as a result of tailgating. As an Ottawa injury lawyer, I am reminded too often of the dangers of tailgating.
Tailgate Accidents , did you know…
- That following closely and tailgating is the cause of the majority of rear-end collision accidents – which also accounts for 1/3 of all Ottawa accidents.
- Between 2005 and 2007, 13,333 Ottawa accidents occurred, which resulted in 4,237 personal injuries and 11 deaths.
- Most Ottawa accidents occur during morning rush hour, between 8:00 and 9:00 AM, then slowly taper off. Increasing gradually to peak at evening rush hour (4:00 PM to 5:00 PM) then again taper off during evening hours.
- 72% of Ottawa accidents occur in clear, dry weather. 12% occur during rain, and another 12% during snow or winter conditions.
- Approximately 1/2 of Ottawa accidents occur at an Ottawa intersection.
- Car accidents account for the majority of fatal accidents.
- Approximately 30% of personal injury related Ottawa accidents occur when a driver disobeyed a red light.
What is considered tailgate?
What is a safe distance to travel behind other vehicles to avoid an Ottawa accident? Apply the two-second rule. It is the same method that is outlined in the Ontario Ministry of Transportation's Driver's Handbook. Use this test while driving.
- Choose an object ahead of you on the road to use as a reference point– EX: road sign, pole or tree
- Once the back-end of the vehicle ahead of you passes the reference point, start counting using steamboats.
- Count how long it takes the front of your vehicle to reach the same reference point.
- If it takes less than two seconds (or steamboats), you're travelling too close and are risking an Ottawa accident.
Important: In wet or slippery conditions, you should allow even more time. Allow yourself time to react and stop quickly and avoid an accident and serious personal injuries…. I came across this valuable information on the City of Ottawa's website and thought I would share it with you. It make take a little extra time to get there, but avoiding an Ottawa accident and personal injuries….Please take your time and arrive safely…
Ottawa Ontario Accident Lawyer David Hollingsworth has been helping Ottawa and Ontario accident victims since 1999. accident victims are entitled to accident benefits even if they do not have their own insurance. The claim is made against the driver's insurance company. Many accident victims are unaware of the benefits to which they are entitled to. With extensive experience and knowledge of relevant accident and personal injury issues, David has recovered millions of dollars in settlements on behalf of his accident clients. David has the experience and skill to help obtain maximum compensation. David offers free consultations and makes home visits or hospital visits. Visit www.ottawainjury.ca for more information.

Ranked at 75 in the FIBA standings, Belgium are competing in their first EuroBasket tournament since 1993. It has been a long road, which included missing out in the Additional Qualifiers to France in 2009, but they are here.
The Belgium Lions' 33-year-old center, Tomas Van Den Spiegel plans to enjoy the experience and hopes to continue the journey from Klaipeda to Vilnius come next week.
The Gent-born 7-footer is prolific on Twitter, like most ballers are these days—he has been regularly posting updates on Belgium's preparations in the build-up to Lithuania—and the big man was the first to report the surprise cut of New Orleans Hornets big, DJ Mbenga.
Former Euroleague Final Four regular turned journalist?
"No, not at all," jokes Van Den Spiegel. "DJ's cut was a coach's decision and we felt ready to do things without him, we had no choice. But we showed last year to be able to manage if necessary."
For Van Den Spiegel, who plays his club basketball in his homeland for BC Telenet Oostende, he is just happy to be in the final squad and travel to Lithuania for EuroBasket.
"It is a great experience being here as Belgium haven't been at EuroBasket since '93," he admits. "Also because we did qualify amongst the original field of 16. Personally it was also something lacking in my career, so real happy to be here at 33 years of age."
Despite falling to 0-2 in Group D of EuroBasket, with losses to Georgia and Bulgaria, Belgium's vocal giant Van Den Spiegel is still optimistic about his nation's chances of progressing to Vilnius for the second round of the tournament, this despite losing Mbenga (cut) and Axel Hervelle (injury).
"We would be real happy with a second round, no matter at what spot. With the injury of Hervelle things seem tougher but we still do believe," Van Den Spiegel said.
Belgium continues play tomorrow against Andrei Kirilenko's Russia, at 2 p.m.

Like many martech and adtech categories, data management platforms (DMP) are tricky to pin down. We wrote earlier about the difference between first-party DMPs and third-party DMPs, but another question is how DMPs mesh with enterprise data warehouses (EDWs). Since a sizable chunk of companies that have yet to invest in a DMP have invested, often heavily, in data warehouses, those companies are understandably leery of adding something that "manages" data when they already have a warehouse.
Data warehouses and DMPs have a few similarities, but they also have some major differences that allow the two to play potentially very different roles with audience data. We'll compare the two, so you can begin to decide whether and how they fit into your organization.
Manage and store data
Let's start with the big similarity. At the end of the day, EDWs and DMPs store data.
An enterprise data warehouse integrates data from a whole lot of sources. That data is cleaned, organized, and processed to create business intelligence (BI) reports, track trends, and support corporate decision-making. The typical users are BI analysts with the technical know-how to write queries and build reports for internal executives. Some EDWs integrate with BI dashboards like Tableau to make those reports more visual.
A data management platform also integrates data from disparate sources, but is focused on marketing and ad campaigns. Third-party DMPs will leverage cookie data to target users on ad networks, while first-party DMPs will use personally identifiable information (PII) to market and advertise to people beyond only display ads (e.g., email, social networks).
First-party DMPs are closer to EDWs in data management since they both collect first-party data, while third-party DMPs are generally restricted to cookies or mobile device IDs.
EDWs: All your data
But even in the management of the data, there's already a massive difference between warehouses and data management platforms. Because of the sheer quantity and types of data that data warehouses collect, they require a lengthy process to implement and the data itself needs to go through multiple steps to be usable.
First, they pull the data from the sources into the warehouse, which includes CRM (customer relationship management), POS (point of sales) and ERP (enterprise resource planning) software.
That data is output to users through a data mart. Essentially, a data mart is a slice of the warehouse that takes the data down from "enterprise" to "department-specific." Finally, it goes to the BI dashboard (e.g., Tableau) for digestible insights and charts.
Here are some challenges to expect when you're dealing with that much data and complexity:
$$$. You'll need to consider not only the initial cost of implementation, but the ongoing maintenance, training and support.
Slow implementation. Since you're not working within a few select departments, but often across many or all departments in your organization, you'll have to get buy-in from all those decision makers. Even with all that buy-in, a data warehouse will take months to set up.
Advanced technical skills. The data in a data warehouse isn't necessarily much more accessible. In fact, just to get the insights you want out of the warehouse, you might end up staffing up with BI professionals, analysts and systems ops so that data actually is useful.
Lag times. Because of the layers involved with storing and indexing data, real-time is hard to come by in an EDW. Without a new development cycle, you're tied to fixed, pre-determined queries to visualize, and even that won't be instantaneous.
DMPs: The data you need
Since they contain actionable audience data, DMPs pull in more defined sets of data. For third-party DMPs, that includes cookie and mobile device IDs appended by demographic information.
For first-party DMPs, that includes a subset of the data that would be collected within a data warehouse, but only what's useful for acting on audience data. For sports and entertainment companies, those sources could include CRM, transactional data, ESP (email service provider), and social data (e.g., likes and interests from Facebook logins). Unlike data warehouses, It wouldn't include ERPs or other "non-essentials" for selling tickets and merchandise.
And for the marketers, salespeople, sponsorship teams and others who need that audience data, it is, or should be, easily accessible. Umbel, for example, allows any user not only narrow in on any segment within their audience, but compare that with another segment—instantly.
Activation vs statistics
One aspect that's not implied in the "data management" part of DMP is the activation of that audience data. Because while it's nice to look at how season ticket buyers compare to the rest of your fan base, it's even nicer to use that season ticket buyer profile to seek out similar profiles in your database.
A first-party DMP can analyze your audience profiles based on the sum total of data across channels and export that data to run hyper-targeted campaigns on Facebook, email, etc. or find new fans who look like your best customers (based on any number of factors, including someone's past game attendance, when the last time they checked in was, or their overall profile). The performance of those campaigns can then be fed back into the DMP for a continuous improvement feedback loop.

A third-party DMP is similarly actionable, targeting groups of users that meet particular attributes (e.g., visited website in the last 90 days), but is limited to exporting to ad serving networks that leverage cookies.
Data warehouses are far less actionable than either form of DMP. While data can be exported, that's not the intent of a data warehouse. The typical definition you'll find is similar to Informatica's, which is that "data warehouses are typically used to correlate broad business data to provide greater executive insight into corporate performance."
That is, the major utility of the data warehouse ends after data is analyzed and displayed on a BI dashboard. And because of the time delay in the data and lack of optimization for a specific purpose (e.g., selling tickets), the utility of that export is minimal compared to using a DMP to find a segment, immediately exporting it and then running a campaign.
Acquire vs only unite
Where a first-party DMP differs from both third-party DMPs and data warehouses is the ability to bring entirely new data into the mix. All three are able, to varying degrees, ingest data from existing sources. By also using data collection campaigns to add to those other sources, you can acquire and enrich profiles in a first-party DMP, or in the case of live events, can bring users into your database that are otherwise unknown (e.g., people who buy tickets off the secondary market or tag along with a group or family member).
This ability to gather new data solves a large issue for a lot of organizations, which is a lack of quality data. And without a solid data set, regardless of whether you invest in a DMP or a data warehouse, any benefit you get will be limited.
Data warehouses solve a lot of needs, but they do so as high cost, long-term investments in both financial and human capital. Which isn't to say those investments aren't worth it, but data on selling tickets and selling tickets are not synonymous. That may come as a surprise to the 72 percent of marketers focused on knowledge gathering rather than acting on data.
When you're deciding how EDWs and DMPs fit into your tech stack, it's important to look at your business needs, as well as the needs of your audience. Being able to bring audience data together is important, but being able to do so and act on that data is critical.
