Shortly after Japan business daily Nikkei reported that Nintendo plans on ending the Wii U production sometime this year, the Kyoto-based video game company claimed otherwise. The company's spokesperson told a local media site about its plans to continue the Wii U production in the next quarter and thereafter.
Nikkei reported Wednesday that the declining popularity of Wii U against its predecessor and the difficulty of producing games for the console due to its unique nature are the major reasons behind Nintendo's decision to end the Wii U's production. The paper also found out that the companies that manufactured Wii U parts had ceased production on some components.
"This [Nikkei article] isn't an announcement from our company," a Nintendo spokesperson told Japanese site IT Media via Kotaku. "From the next quarter and thereafter as well, production [of the Wii U] is scheduled to continue (sic)."
In light of Nikkei's report, ARS Technica pointed out the shortage of Wii U supplies in recent months, which substantiated the publication's claim. ARS Technica linked to Nintendo World Report story from last month, which reported that there was a significant sales drop in Japan from December last year through February. Nintendo had sold 250,000 Wii U consoles in December last year, which dropped to 40,000 consoles in January 2016 and then 4,000 units until the first week of February.
Nintendo Wii U was launched in November 2012 and has sold 12 million consoles around the world, whereas the Wii was the company's best seller with over 100 million units. If the report had been true, Wii U would be the shortest-lived game console with just four years of life span. Nintendo's original Famicom system was live for 20 years, while the Wii console was kept alive for seven years.
Rumours about upcoming Nintendo NX have been making the rounds for quite some time now. An investor report by Foxconn leaked on NeoGAF earlier this month revealed that the Nintendo NX would enter production in June 2016. Rumours have suggested the NX console to come with a wireless HDMI dongle, Bluetooth sync to connect smartphones and other mobile devices and use tech similar to Xbox One and PS4.
The exact launch date of Nintendo NX is still unknown.

How would you describe the main thrust of spirituality?
How to deflate, defuse the dominance of our conditioned mind of who we think we are, of our ego-mind and our usual state of self.
And that's it?
And at the same time be be infused with something higher, a higher influence.
Which is?
The attraction to and receptivity of Real Self.
So that's our role?
It may go even further until there is no longer any role left as unconscious God becomes conscious God through the medium of us, of our lives.

Apple patents come and go and rarely see the consumer side of things, but this latest one uncovered by CNET this morning would be a welcome addition to the company's touch-friendly future.
The patent concerns a special coating procedure, called Physical Vapor Desposition, that would leave them oil-resistant for far longer than is the case with current coatings on the iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, and iPad. Those coatings, which are already well-known additions to the Apple line, wear off after a short while. This new technique would apparently be a much more effective way of keeping fingerprints off your touchscreen devices.
If this patent tastes a bit salty to you, it's because there's a rumor attached to it as well. The rumor being the new coating will grace the the iPhone 5. Guess we'll know in September. Or is it October now? September. No, definitely October. [CNET]

Why do we need a Green Party? Don't we get sufficient coverage of environmental issues from the NDP and the johnny-come-lately Liberals and Conservatives? I think the Green Party is irrelevant and a waste of taxpayers' money.
The Green Party of Canada has been running candidates in our elections since 1980—almost 30 years—and have yet to elect a single one to parliament. During the 1980 election 11 candidates issued a joint press release stating they were running on a common platform. That was their start. They contested the 1984 election as a party. For Pete's sake, that's a full generation of being rebuked by the Canadian voters.
How many times do the Canadian voters have to tell them that their party is irrelevant before they get it? Are they stubborn or just too thick to know when they are not needed or wanted?
And as for the leader of the Green Party, Elizabeth May? She seems like a nice person. A Christian, a successful environmental activist, who once worked for the Conservative government. But she is not a leader. She has added nothing to the debate in Canada. She's made controversial statements about women's abortion rights and mused that prime minister Stephen Harper's stance on environmental issues is "a grievance worse than Neville Chamberlain's appeasement of the Nazis". But she has added nothing of substance—only the duplication and recycling of the rhetoric of others better able to defend the environment.
Recently, a cast off former Liberal MP has joined the Green Party. But they still are not an official party of parliament—except in Elizabeth May's imagination of course.
Not at all the sort of track record one would expect from a serious political leader. She's well-meaning I suppose, but just doesn't have leadership material. If sulking when you don't get your own way was all it took, then okay, she might have something. But leading a serious party takes a great deal more than that.
Now, come to think about it, does Canada really need the NDP …

Aliens of the Deep
Aliens of the Deep in 3D was great! IMAX movies are always great especially when in 3D. It's James Cameron doing a Jacques Cousteau type movie thousands of feet down. They've got beautiful footage some interesting background details and some occasional special effects. They spend a lot of time talking about how some of this is like exploring other worlds and how some of what they do on the ocean floor would be used in deep space (especially if looking in water for life). A bit of how the extremes of space and the ocean can be very similar. Did I say the 3D looked great?!?

To upgrade Team Foundation Server Basic or Express
Tip: This topic is for upgrading a basic installation of TFS (no SharePoint, no reporting). If you have an installation with SharePoint or reporting, consider using the standard TFS upgrade (in-place) or the advanced TFS upgrade (move TFS to a new machine) instead.
Double Check. Verify that the operating system and hardware meet the requirements for the new version of Team Foundation Server. New for this version of TFS, you must use a 64-bit server if you use a server operating system.
Determine the service account you will use for Team Foundation Server. By default, TFS uses Network Service. In most cases, you should use the same account you used for the previous installation or consider using Network Service.
There's more information on MSDN: System Requirements for Team Foundation Server, or Accounts Required for Installation of Team Foundation Server.
Visit Microsoft Update. If you're using SQL Server Express for TFS, use Microsoft Update to make sure that SQL Server Express has the latest service pack (SP). Similar to Windows Update, Microsoft Update is for Microsoft software other than operating systems. Use the Windows Update Control Panel to opt into Microsoft Update and check for updates.
If you're running SQL Server Express 2008 with either SP2 or SP3, the TFS upgrade wizard will be able to automatically upgrade your installation of SQL Server Express during TFS upgrade.
Tip: If you don't know if you're using SQL Express, look at the Application Tier node in the TFS administration console. Scroll down to Data Tier Summary and look for SQLServerExpress to confirm.
Back up your data. The upgrade configuration wizard deletes your old database during the upgrade.
For more information: Back up TFS for upgrade
Uninstall TFS. Use Control Panel to completely uninstall Team Foundation Server.
Tip: If you're upgrading from a prerelease version of TFS 2012, you don't have to uninstall the old version of TFS. You can skip this step.
Upgrade TFS. Run the Team Foundation Server install from the product DVD and then use the Upgrade Configuration wizard to upgrade your installation.
For more information: Run TFS Upgrade Wizard
Next Step: Set up a new build machine
After you upgrade the application tier, you might want to install the new build service. You can't use TFS 2010 build service with Team Foundation Server 2012, but you can install the new build service side-by-side on the same server as the TFS 2010 build service.

beautiful, body and soul, endurance, eyes and hearts, faith, King in Jerusalem, Messiah, Morning Star, perseverance, revelation, truth
(remembering Corrie ten Boom)
A hiding place
The comfort of safety and protection of a Friend
Shelter from the constant storm
Mighty winds that tear and destroy
Torrents of rain that flood,
Looters and violent men follow
Lawless ones, scavengers pick and sort, parasites at every level,
They abuse the vulnerable women and children;
Wicked rulers watch from high hills
Smug arrogance and false sympathy
As turmoil and fear sweep away.
There is no peace
There is no worldly safety or security offered
Hunger and thirst move as plagues,
Those who consume
Are then consumed.
The earth shakes violently
Even heavenly bodies mysteriously are shaken
All that man has made and woman holds dear
Lies shattered on the ground.
The remnant, the true believers are hidden away
Beneath golden wings
Within the New Covenant embrace,
In the midst of the powerful swirling winds
The calm eye of the storm,
Hidden and protected, most powerful hands of the Shepherd hold near;
As one shelter is threatened
Persecution falls as the rain and snow,
Another safe door is opened
A path of trust and inner strength renewed.
Food somehow multiplied, water purified
Strength returns to the body
The will is revived
Peace within remains the same
Perseverance and endurance rise up
As hope in Messiah carries another day
A new light dawns
And the Morning Star beautifully lifts above the world,
In eyes and in hearts
Encouragement is eaten as sweet bread for heart and soul.
Soon, very soon, the fierce lion will eat grass and straw,
Bear and cattle, tiger and goats graze together
A child will handle the poisonous snake as written,
The wolf and lamb together,
The enhanced beauty of earth greatly prized by all
Those who destroy, long ago removed
And war will be no more
Its memory fading as a morning fog
In the warmth of a new day.

Rossi: Poor race pace means Qatar comeback unlikely
Valentino Rossi says there is very little chance of making progress from his disappointing 14th on grid for the MotoGP season opening Qatar Grand Prix.
The Yamaha rider was fastest in opening practice at Losail on Friday, but has struggled in sessions run in the evening - which is when Sunday's race will be held.
He said his problems went beyond a lack of outright speed and that very high tyre wear was going to limit his chances of moving forward in the race.
"In the night I have a problem with the front tyre," said Rossi.
"We are in trouble because I am quite slow, and I don't have a good feeling on the front, and we also damage the tyre.
"It will be hard, it will be difficult.
"In general, I had a lot of problems at the front: I ruined the tyre and in the evening we're in more trouble.
"We have improved the situation a bit, but it's not enough, so it will be a difficult race, because I must start far back and on race pace we're in trouble with the used tyre."
Rossi underlined that "usually from 10th place it starts to get difficult" to make progress up the order even on a quick bike.
"But it's one thing if you are quick, but you make a mistake [in qualifying]," he added. "My pace is not fast, so it will be hard."
While Rossi struggled, his teammate Maverick Vinales swept to pole position ahead of Andrea Dovizioso and Marc Marquez.
"We are working in a good way," said Vinales.
"I think Yamaha understands my riding style really well. Straight away I feel really good.
"We're going to try to be very smart and be ready to fight at the end of the race.
"I feel much better inside the team. We made a really good plan, especially for this weekend.
"When I feel good, I can push and I can bring the bike to its best."

Fans Will Not Be Happy About This Male R&B Singer Calling Out Beyoncé, SZA And Cardi B
"Stop using that f**king pain to make it OK to say some bullsh** on your record and get nominated for a Grammy..."
As the saying goes, if she can't recite the words to the theme song of Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, she's too young for you, bro.
While the iconic jingle has secured its legacy as one of the most popular theme songs of all time, its creators, DJ Jazzy Jeff and Will Smith, have recently let slip a little detail about its creation that may blow your mind.
According to DJ Jazzy Jeff, the melody took roughly fifteen minutes to create.
"We literally went into the studio and made the theme song in about 15 minutes," Jeff revealed during a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly. "One of the things Will used to always say is the hardest part to come up with for a song is the concept, but the concept behind the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air was already laid out. I ended up just going in and programming some music and he wrote something and laid it down."
When you think about how the song was created in the amount of time it takes to watch half an episode, it's definitely pretty wild. Perhaps one could even say it was simply destiny that the song was a breeze to write, especially considering the fact there was no real way to gauge just how impactful it'd end up being over time.
"I don't think at the time anyone at the time would've guessed that it was going to have this kind of [legacy]," Jeff added. "Because when you decide to do anything, you never say, 'Oh, and 30 years from now people are going to be rapping this at bar mitzvahs.' You just don't imagine that."
Ain't that the truth?!
Check out DJ Jazzy Jeff recalling the history of the song in full here and revisit the beloved theme song below.

Methemoglobinemia, beta-globin type
Methemoglobinemia, beta-globin type is a condition that affects the function of red blood cells. Specifically, it alters a molecule called hemoglobin within these cells. Hemoglobin within red blood cells attaches (binds) to oxygen molecules in the lungs, which it carries through the bloodstream, then releases in tissues throughout the body. Instead of normal hemoglobin, people with methemoglobinemia, beta-globin type have an abnormal form called methemoglobin, which is unable to efficiently deliver oxygen to the body's tissues. In methemoglobinemia, beta-globin type, the abnormal hemoglobin gives the blood a brown color. It also causes a bluish appearance of the skin, lips, and nails (cyanosis), which usually first appears around the age of 6 months. The signs and symptoms of methemoglobinemia, beta-globin type are generally limited to cyanosis, which does not cause any health problems. However, in rare cases, severe methemoglobinemia, beta-globin type can cause headaches, weakness, and fatigue.
The incidence of methemoglobinemia, beta-globin type is unknown.
Methemoglobinemia, beta-globin type is caused by mutations in the HBB gene. This gene provides instructions for making a protein called beta-globin. Beta-globin is one of four components (subunits) that make up hemoglobin. In adults, hemoglobin normally contains two subunits of beta-globin and two subunits of another protein called alpha-globin. Each of these protein subunits is bound to an iron-containing molecule called heme; each heme contains an iron molecule in its center that can bind to one oxygen molecule. For hemoglobin to bind to oxygen, the iron within the heme molecule needs to be in a form called ferrous iron (Fe2+). The iron within the heme can change to another form of iron called ferric iron (Fe3+), which cannot bind oxygen. Hemoglobin that contains ferric iron is known as methemoglobin.
HBB gene mutations that cause methemoglobinemia, beta-globin type change the structure of beta-globin and promote the heme iron to change from ferrous to ferric. The ferric iron cannot bind oxygen and causes cyanosis and the brown appearance of blood.
This condition is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern, which means one copy of the altered gene in each cell is sufficient to cause the disorder.

There couldn't have been a more appropriate time to talk about the importance of cash. While the demonetisation bug has stung almost everyone pretty hard, it is the SMEs that are facing some of the hardest times that they have faced in a while.
According to statistics, about 45 to 55 percent of the formal SMEs (11-17 million) in the emerging markets do not have any access to formal institutional loans or overdrafts despite having an overwhelming requirement for them. The finance gap just grows bigger to 65-72 percent when the figures for MSMEs are taken into consideration.
This is where OptaCredit, an alternative digital lending platform that provides timely access to credit, is coming to their rescue.
Headquartered in Chennai, OptaCredit provides short-term, unsecured loans to SMEs and individuals via its unique Credit-as-a-Service platform wherein applicants can apply online and get the funds credited to their account directly. The platform has received a 300 % increase in numbers in the period after demonetisation.
How OptaCredit came into existence?
The idea of OptaCredit came to S Kumar Srivatsan, founder and CEO, OptaCredit, about three years ago when he was working with Ernst and Young in their management consulting division as a senior consultant. Since his job required him advising financial institutions and banks on ways they could generate more revenue, improve their processes and reduce costs, he soon came to realize that Indian commercial banks aren't equipped enough to cater to the demands of a segment of market that has little or no credit history whatsoever. The banks had no system at their disposal to be able to assess whether or not one was creditworthy on the basis of their non-traditional data.
Seeing the state, Srivatsan decided to do something concrete about the situation rather than just cry and crib, and hence OptaCredit came into existence. It launched its operations in October this year, and received RBI's approval for its NBFC License a little earlier than others, as OptaCredit is not a loan marketplace, and its aim is just to lend via its in-house NBFC.
The digital lending platform has made the loan application process extremely simple and completely online. One of the most important things that sets OptaCredit apart from the traditional banking and other lending systems present in the country is, that an individual borrowing money from the platform doesn't need to necessarily have a bureau score of CIBIL score.
What is the process to borrow money?
In order to borrow money, an individual just needs to head to OptaCredit's website and fill up a 10-minutes long application form. Once the form is filled, the platform gets to work and verifies all the application parameters in real-time from various online data sources and government databases.
OptaCredit's artificial intelligence-powered Assessment Engine helps them underwrite non-traditional data points about an applicant in order to better understand the applicant. This enables them to open their doors to those who loans might have otherwise been rejected by traditional lenders. The platform also ties-up with the applicant's employer's payroll team so as to verify the applicant's salary details. This kind of operation is unprecedented in India and has a potential of benefiting millions of salaried individuals and small businesses. An individual can almost instantly find out, if they're eligible for an OptaCredit loan by providing some basic details.
Objective behind OptaCredit
With OptaCredit, S Kumar Srivatsan – Founder & CEO, Sriram Chandramouli – Co-Founder, and S.Kumar Srikanthan – Co-Founder, aim to democratize credit in the second largest population of the world by making it more and easily accessible to people with little or no documented credit history.
OptaCredit's USPs
OptaCredit's easy accessibility, speedy disbursements, real-time verification of applicant data, use of proprietary scoring algorithms to understand an applicant more holistically, use of artificial intelligence and tie-ups with the applicant's employers makes it distinct from several other players operating in this domain.
The self-funded startup is currently operating on a funding budget of close to $ 500,000 by the founder's family.
Future Plans
For the way ahead, OptaCredit's plan is to tie-up with various ecosystems so as to expand the credit net. It currently has tie-ups with 6 Companies with captive employee base in excess of 1200 employees. In its next phase of operations, the startup will be seen rolling out products for Small and Medium Enterprises.
According to OptaCredit, the current demonetisation move by the Indian government will help them in expanding their offerings to every eligible applicant across the country as the move will result in an increase in quality and quantity of data about entities and persons, which in return will help them in better understanding their applicants.

What can erotic literature teach us about love and relationships? A lot, actually.
I don't want to say that older people are right about our generation, but they do make some valid points, especially when they say that we don't know the value of time anymore. Life these days goes so fast that we've gotten used to living at that pace, so we become impatient whenever things don't go that fast. This applies to everything, including dating, of course. It's no surprise that the most popular apps are the ones centered on modern dating, but more importantly, those that offer more optimized and easy options for their users.
As Terra Loire explains in her article for Electric Lit, we're the first generation to embrace online dating, and although it doesn't represent a hundred percent of our dating possibilities, it's a fact that we've shaped the scene based on online attitudes and techniques. Going back to the idea of older people having a point, we seem to be missing something due to the quick pace we've become accustomed to. For that matter, I've found it very useful to go back to some classics for advice when it comes to love and relationships, mainly because we're talking about very creative minds exploring the core of love and relationships.
Instead of going directly to the classic novels and stories about romance and ideal relationships, I've found that the wittiest and most relatable advice comes from the shelves of erotic literature. Leaving aside the great tips to heat up your sex life (and I really recommend them for that), they have some good messages that can be helpful in our current dating scene. So, get comfortable and let these erotic books impart some wisdom for both your sex and love life.
Don't lose the spark.
"He whom one awaits is because he is expected, already present, already master."
― Pauline Réage, Story of O (1954)
Story of O is a very interesting short novel that tells the story of a woman who is taken by her lover to a secret society where members enjoy engaging in BDSM. For her, the most important thing is to please the person she loves in every possible way, showing us the limits of submission and love. Not that I'm recommending this so that you follow her steps, because that's not precisely the idea, but the quote I chose for this made me think about how common it is for relationships to enter a state of monotony that at the end of the day can really lead to the end of the relationship. The quote clearly talks about these dominant-submissive relationships, but if you take that out of the equation, you could interpret it as the idea of keeping the spark alive so that your partner waits for you with excitement and not as just a routine.
You have to let your passion out once in a while.
"All my foundation in virtue was no other than a total ignorance of vice."
― John Cleland, Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure (1748)
One thing that happens to me a lot is that I don't let myself explore and enjoy life as I would really want to out of shyness. This novel is all about a young woman's sexual awakening after being pushed to grow up at a very young age. However, the great part of the story (considering the time it was written) is that she soon understands that sex and love don't always have to go together for it to be pleasurable. As you can see in the quote, she's come to realize that what people consider virtue is nothing more than the ignorance of pleasure (or what's considered vice). In that way, we really need to start letting our passions guide us from time to time and forget about our prudishness. At the end of the day, dating isn't only about finding that "perfect" person, and there's nothing wrong with wanting to have some fun.
Good sexting is key.
"There are two ways to reach me: by way of kisses or by way of the imagination. But there is a hierarchy: the kisses alone don't work."
― Anaïs Nin, Henry and June (1986)
Anaïs Nin is probably one of the most important authors who explored female sexuality in a highly erotic and intelligent way. In this short story that works as an autobiographical episode, she goes back to the time she met Henry Miller and his wife June, and how she ended falling for both of them, or better said, for some of their qualities. The story shows the moment when she starts an affair with Miller and how it represented a liberation, both moral and sexual. In her exploration of this, let's call it a sexual awakening, she gives us this great quote that could be applied to our sexting strategies (really important in modern relationships). Yes, kisses, caresses, and sex are greatly pleasurable, but without the imagination that sparks and heats up the moment, none of these will work very well. So, next time you're thinking of sexting someone, keep Nin's words in mind to improve the experience.
Don't let past experiences ruin new possibilities.
"I'm a radiant void. I'm convalescing after a long and dreadful illness…I cannot brood over broken hearts, mine is too recently mended […]"
― Vladimir Nabokov, Ada, or Ardor (1969)
Nabokov is well known for his controversial novel Lolita, but if you thought that story was problematic, let me introduce you to Ada. This novel talks about a very tormented and complex relationship between two brothers who happened to meet in their early teens. Besides the dark themes he's dealing with (don't say I didn't warn you), the novel truly becomes a catalog of philosophical teachings and, of course, erotic scenarios. However, leaving aside that matter, there is one sentence that got stuck in my mind and made me think about how, when we experience heartbreak, it's so hard to let it go even though we've decided to move on and start over. Yes, as the quote says, we might feel broken and empty inside, but giving ourselves a chance to experience new possibilities can really mend our heart and soul.
Don't stay in a relationship if you don't want to.
"It's not that you have to achieve anything, it's that you have to get away from where you are."
― Marguerite Duras, The Lover (1984)
Last but not least, we have one of Duras' most famous novels, which is said to be an autobiographical account of her experience in her native Vietnam. It explores the complex affair between a young French woman and a Chinese man in his forties in the time before the Indochina war. Besides depicting the colonial experience in the country and its social consequences, it also delves into the steamy and passionate affair between these lovers. For this last quote, I chose this novel because of the ending of the story, which shows that not all love stories (no matter how great or exciting) are meant to last forever. As you can see in the quote, sometimes it's necessary to just leave and move on to find a better life. If you think about it, and we talked a bit about this, it's quite easy to fall into monotony that ends up ruining the love and passion before we even realize. The best thing to do, as Duras says, is to move on and see what's out there rather than stay in a miserable place.
Erotic literature is often criticized for its explicit and steamy scenes, but there are actually really great texts that go beyond the sexual experience. As you can see, if I didn't mention the authors or that they belong to the erotic genre, you wouldn't guess that these lines came from really passionate and titillating stories.

Microservices 101
Microservices are an architectural approach to software development based on building an application as a collection of small services. Each service has its own unique and well-defined role, runs in its own process, and communicates via HTTP APIs or messaging. Each microservice can be deployed, upgraded, scaled, and restarted independently of all the sibling services in the application. They are typically orchestrated by an automated system, making it possible to have frequent updates of live applications without affecting the end users.
As a natural approach to optimizing work, we are already comfortable with the concept. Think about it: These days, your average cloud consumer — including adamantly non-technical people — easily and naturally uses multiple cloud products that are, essentially, micro-products and micro-apps. (They don't call it "The App Store" for nothing). While an average enterprise organization uses, at minimum, a dozen different software products and integrations: one tool for logging business expenses, another for schedule tracking, another for payroll management. You get the idea.

These include extreme weather, natural and man-made disasters, climate change, biodiversity loss and ecosystem collapse.
These events destroy lives and livelihoods, and water is at the heart of the issue.
"Water insecurity will continue to cause ripple effects across global supply chains from manufacturing to agriculture, it will strain geopolitical ties and it will place untold pressure on the world's poorest populations," warns Mr Mung. Alex Mung, head of Water Initiative at the World Economic Forum (WEF). "The resilience of our society, both in terms of economic growth and human security, must be addressed through a water lens."
While other global risks have peaked and subsided, water has stubbornly remained. It is the ultimate public goods challenge, complex and inter-connected across many aspects of society.
Tackling the issue requires collaborative, cross-sector solutions and a shift by all stakeholders to place a higher value on water.
"Let's face it, water is chronically undervalued and, in some cases, not valued at all. Only by embedding its true financial, social and environmental value into policymaking, governance, and financial and risk reporting can we instil a better mentality," says Mr Mung. "Take wastewater treatment and reuse: when water is valued properly, there are incentives to fully capture the benefits of a circular economy which can bring about a range of new innovations."
In the agriculture sector, companies such as Microsoft are demonstrating how precision irrigation using smart sensors in fields can give information about soil conditions. Crop data, coupled with drone images of fields, and the use of artificial intelligence to interpret data and model a heat map of the crop area, can all help ensure water is used optimally in food production.
"Emerging fourth industrial revolution technologies – machine-learning, artificial intelligence, advanced sensors, satellite imagery, robotics and others – have the potential to unlock a wealth of previously unobtainable data about water systems at the global, regional, watershed and local level," says Mr Mung.
"Combined with new forms of public-private collaboration, these technologies can support decision-makers across industry, government and civil society to balance trade-offs, identify common priorities and make smarter investment choices."

If you're in Vegas this week at the annual NAB (National Association of Broadcasters) show, swing by our booth, where we're highlighting GPU technologies that are transforming the broadcast, digital film and post-production industries.
We're joined by more than 40 partners showcasing their NVIDIA Quadro and Tesla-accelerated applications. These new solutions are making dramatic improvements across the content creation workflow — from on-set dailies and processing of high-resolution camera files, through to post-production and digital distribution of the content to television, PCs and mobile devices.
In our booth, we're featuring:
- The new landmark Adobe Creative Suite 6, accelerated by NVIDIA Quadro and NVIDIA Tesla GPUs running After Effects, Premiere Pro, SpeedGrade and Photoshop
- Cinnafilm Dark Energy professional image texture management and optimization software
- A demo of Elemental Technologies' high-performance encoding solution
- Interactive rendering using a new CUDA-based version of Chaos V-Ray RT
- Multitouch display technology from Perceptive Pixel that supports simultaneous use of a stylus and touch.
We're also demonstrating an impressive video wall as a backdrop for our booth, showcasing rich, real-time 3D graphics. They're being rendered from a single workstation powered by two NVIDIA Quadro Plex systems that are driving 10 displays. That's a lot less hardware than what's been required in the past to drive walls of this complexity.
Check out a quick video tour here:
NAB, along with the IBC show in Amsterdam in September, is where many software vendors announce new applications or new versions of their apps. This year is no exception. There are some pretty exciting announcements: Chaos Software debuting a version of V-Ray RT using NVIDIA CUDA architecture; Quantel's new Pablo color correction software that uses NVIDIA Maximus technology; and six different manufacturers that are delivering faster video I/O between their boards and NVIDIA GPUs using NVIDIA GPUDirect for Video technology.
See it for yourself live this week at the Las Vegas Convention Center, booth SL 9215, South Hall, or follow us @NVIDIAQuadro on Twitter. Also check out our "Heavy Hand" videos in the Quadro playlist on NVIDIA's YouTube channel, and look for more blogs and videos highlighting more of these solutions here and on YouTube in the weeks ahead.

This week Michael has sent me an exceedingly obscure song. Despite Michael's mightily impressive knowledge of 1980s songs, he told me knew nothing about it apart from its name.
The song is "Cos You're Not", and it's by The White Lines.
This is the only information I could find about the elusive "Cos You're Not":
"From Dearborn- Michigan, The White Lines was a quartet combo featuring Joe Kidd, recorded this single on Automotive Records (Roseville, Michigan). Marvelous fractured pop song, 60's voices-tradition, a sunny familiar tune."
[From BEATFORTWO]
The White Lines – "Cos You're Not" (1980)
I had a listen to the song, and was underwhelmed in a major way. Then I had another listen to it.
Unfortunately, after listening to it twice I couldn't think of much to say about it, because I found it all so… ordinary.
Instead of delving into every audible nook and cranny, I'm just going to jot down some random notes as I listen to it for a third time.
(Disclaimer: In an effort to remind you that I'm not The Arbiter Of All Music And Everything I Say Is Music Law, every comment in the list should be prefaced with "I think…")
- A couple of the tunes are mildly catchy.
- The singing's ordinary.
- The drumming's too busy.
- That's an anaemic guitar solo (1:37-2:06).
- This song is very ordinary. (I already used the word "ordinary" earlier. Sorry about repeating myself. I hate repeating myself.)
I can't really think of much else to say.
I think I can see why Michael likes it, though. I think the song is likeable, and has elements (e.g., a couple of hummable tunes, singing with conviction, guitars galore etc.) that would be appealing to someone who is attracted to those elements.
Unfortunately, I didn't find any of those elements strong enough.
Ah well.
Thanks anyway, Michael, for increasing my knowledge of pop music by one song.

One kid separated from his parents may actually be American -- and not eligible for reunification
As the federal government races to reunite the children it separated from parents, one child under the age of 5 appears to stand alone: He or she may be an American citizen.
In a court filing Tuesday, the Justice Department included the child in a section called: "Not eligible for reunification." Its explanation: "1 child cannot be reunified at this time because the parent's location has been unknown for more than a year. Defendants are unable to conclusively determine whether the parent is a class member, and records show the parent and child might be U.S. citizens."
A spokesperson for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said in an email to CBS News that the child's parent is not currently in ICE custody. The child is currently in the custody of the Department of Health and Human Services' Office of Refugee Resettlement. A spokesperson for the agency said it could not provide more details about what indication there is that this child and parent may be U.S. citizens, how the child came to be in federal custody or where the child is currently sheltered.
Lee Gelernt, an ACLU lawyer involved in the lawsuit that led a federal judge to order the government to reunite families that were separated after crossing the Mexican border, said in text messages to CBS News that the ACLU has been unable to learn anything more about the child.
Gelernt added that the child never should have landed in the custody of immigration officials.
"Unfortunately we don't have additional info yet," Gelernt said. "We are trying to find out ASAP, because that child of course should not have been in immigration custody in the first place."
As of midday on Tuesday, the government had reunited four children under the age of five with their parents, but said in court documents it might be able to reunite as many as 51 more that day. The government has not since publicly updated its figures, but it is scheduled to submit a new filing to the court Thursday.
The government has until July 26 to reunite nearly 2,800 other children, ages five through 17, currently in its custody.

Letter from Miranda (Barrie Class)
"Two weeks ago I was welcomed by the Halton/Niagara Yogis to take part in a seminar. This was my first chance to go past the time limited meditation classes and learn more about Sahaja and what it means for me.It was an absolutely amazing experience, and difficult to describe. I will, however, do my best!Being part of a collective group of yogis immediately put my heart at ease. I was able to, for the first time in my life, meet with a group of people and skip the awkward first-meeting, small-talk phase (something I've never been comfortable with). Instead I was able to connect on a deeper, heartfelt level. I was able to open up and be completely myself, without being worried about being judged or misunderstood. I spoke straight from the heart, and was answered from others' hearts as well. Sharing such a special part of me – my passions, interests, hopes and dreams had a completely transformational effect on me. I was able to learn and develop my spirituality without sorting through the layers of obstacles usually created by my thoughts and conditioning. I felt my spirit connect and become one with those around me.In the seminar we spoke about the benefits of Sahaja, watching a video on the effects meditation has on a physical level. We also had a chance to practice (and in my case learn) doing workshops on others. For the first time I was able to tap into collective subtle systems, which makes me very excited. I've always felt a need to be more closely/deeply connected to others and to help others at a general level. Being able to strengthen my energy and awareness, I feel much more prepared to be able to do this.My inner light has been slowly growing over the past months and this weekend allowed it to truly shine. When I look in the mirror now, I can see this light coming from within. It has been a beautiful and joyful experience.Being around other yogis, I was able to see parts of me clearly that I have either missed or been afraid to notice until now. I can feel the innocence, the wisdom and the peaceful joy that is part of my core, my very being. I feel a gentleness, a peaceful presence within and around me that is making my life much clearer, more balanced and much easier to flow through.The most difficult aspect of this new experience is listening to the voice inside me, reminding me to be patient and to allow the Kundalini, the love, to work on its own timeline, to grow roots and grow slowly enough so that it will have the strength and stamina to keep steady throughout my daily life.I have many dreams and hopes for the Barrie area, where I live, and am looking forward to seeing them all realized!!All my love, wishes and gratitude go towards those I had the pleasure to meet over the weekend, and to those yet to be met!Yours in heart, Miranda"

Such profound touching words by Miranda! We feel so blessed to have her growing with us through spirit!!!
I'm touched! Yes that's the beautiful and joyful world of Sahaja Yoga as envisioned by Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi. Thank you Miranda for sharing your feelings in those beautiful words.
Just like Miranda, so many deep and compassionate souls appearing all over the world, show how beautifully and completely Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi has accomplished Her work.
Miranda you have touched my heart very very deeply!
welcome we are happy that you are experiencing the all divine within you with the help of Shree Mataji. it would be lovely if you could become a facilitator and share the joy with others. In Malaysia Kuala lumpur we are reaching to many schools, kinder-gardens and refugee center and we have noticed positive results in their character and examination results. MATAJIS VISION IS OUR MISSION.
So glad to hear about your inner peace workshops. Check here also some of what we do for schools/kindergarten, enjoy: https://www.free-meditation.ca/archives/17299
Dear readers, I just want to share the kind and sahaja gesture of Miranda's. I have never met her. Only heard or read about her through this website and I am sure she has learned about me and the birth of our two little baby yoginis n (Abigail and Sophie – now 10 months old) through common friends/sisters. She send such beautiful hand knitted bibs for the twinnies and it was very touching to receive these gifts. I would love to post a picture of the twinnies on this blog for everyone to see. just not sure how.
Thank you Miranda for those bibs and for y our testimony. I really do pray that you are instrumental in manifesting the vision you have for Barrie. And am go glad you can make it to the seminar in camp couchiching. Wish you many many many peaceful meditations and inner discovery of the real you.
Miranda your honesty is deeply refreshing and your testimony is so heartfelt. We have all come by this incredible path seemingly happenstance.
But we know better now… that this is the path to feeling better, less mind-cluttered, and more joy through this new sense known as "vibrational awareness." It's like we take our gut intuition and magnify it to attract happy experiences and collectivity. We experience a joy that is achievable and worth every moment spent in thoughtless awareness. Your enthusiasm is contagious and I have really enjoyed your presence and your efforts to go deeper for your higher self, and also your desire to spread this light to everyone.
Isn't it amazing how we have so many stories amongst us that are truly transformational? And we learn to do this with the pure teachings rooted in truth provided through Sahaja Yoga knowledge. Just a few of us getting together can share dozens of stories that are proof that it works so beautifully to rid us of what we perceive as the problems and to help us help others to feel this amazing energy as you say, on kundalini's timeline.
We don't have to painfully dig into problems to solve them. We use the techniques to acquire the quality of detachment…we have learned to rise above them, cope with them and let them ultimately be solved by the divine. The awakening of kundalini energy does this for us! We only need the desire! We do this by first, diving into the ocean of joy. Feeling joy is a a pretty great indication that we are on the right path. Very proud of you!
I also have a desire to spread Sahaja Yoga in the Barrie area and reach out somehow to many airline personnel that reside there. They are in the thousands, referring to Barrie as Terminal 4. Everyone can benefit and cure just by attending a free class anywhere in the world. Inner peace is achievable and without a doubt can bring world peace.
An amazing letter. I have had the pleasure of meeting Miranda, I remember being at at seminar at her place in Barrie, it was amazing as they always are.

Data Warehouse與Data Mart有何區別?
Data Warehouse與Data Mart這兩個專有名詞的功能
1 Answer
- 汪汪 汪汪Lv 71 decade agoFavorite Answer
- A data mart is a repository of data gathered from operational data and other sources that is designed to serve a particular community of knowledge workers. In scope, the data may derive from an enterprise-wide database or data warehouse or be more specialized. The emphasis of a data mart is on meeting the specific demands of a particular group of knowledge users in terms of analysis, content, presentation, and ease-of-use. Users of a data mart can expect to have data presented in terms that are familiar.
In practice, the terms data mart and data warehouse each tend to imply the presence of the other in some form. However, most writers using the term seem to agree that the design of a data mart tends to start from an analysis of user needs and that a data warehouse tends to start from an analysis of what data already exists and how it can be collected in such a way that the data can later be used. A data warehouse is a central aggregation of data (which can be distributed physically); a data mart is a data repository that may derive from a data warehouse or not and that emphasizes ease of access and usability for a particular designed purpose. In general, a data warehouse tends to be a strategic but somewhat unfinished concept; a data mart tends to be tactical and aimed at meeting an immediate need.
One writer, Marc Demerest, suggests combining the ideas into a Universal Data Architecture (UDA). In practice, many products and companies offering data warehouse services also tend to offer data mart capabilities or services

Jeddah: A unique service has been launched in Saudi Arabia for the Saudi women through which they will have the privilege to get their future husbands investigated. This service is made available online and Saudi women can enter their future husband's NIC number and various other personal details on the website. The service will investigate their husbands to be and provide the women with the required information within hours.
This new service will be something to worry about for the Saudi men as they can no longer keep their lives a secret. Most of the marriages are arranged within the family, so it becomes a rather serious matter for the men as the entire family is involved. The service is however demanding a heavy fee for their services.

According to the rate card, its 500 riyals for knowing if the individual in question smokes cigarettes or not.

Data were obtained from 219 eyes of children between 3 and 17 years old with no ocular pathology (117 girls and 102 boys). Children were distributed into three age groups: 3 to 7, 8 to 12 and 13 to 17 years. Each child was scanned using Stratus OCT (OCT-3; Carl Zeiss Meditec®) "fast optic disc" option.
Results :
The mean disc area was 2.87 + 0.54 mm2, the mean rim area was 1.99 + 0.71 mm2 and the mean rim volume was 0.62 + 0.47 mm3. The mean cup area and volume where 0.89 + 0.78 mm2 and 0.13 + 0.16 mm3 respectively. The mean horizontal cup disc ratio 0.55 + 0.20 µ and 0.47 + 0.19 µ the vertical. La the cup/ disc area ratio was 0.30 + 0.22 µ. There was no statistical difference between right and left eyes. The only gender difference was the rim volume parameter witch was statistically thicker in girls 0.73 + 0.55 mm3 than boys 0.50 + 0.31 mm3 (P= 0.003). The mean axial length (AL) was 23.11 + 1.23 mm, statistically grater between each age group, being the older children the ones with the longest eyes (P= 0.031, 0.000, 0.008 respectively). There was no statistical difference between age groups in the optic disc parameters.
Conclusions :
Rim volume was statistically thicker in girls. Even though there is a physiological increase in AL, the optic disc parameters showed no difference between the age groups. This study may be helpful for diagnosis and follow up of optic nerve pathologies in pediatric patients.

This Wednesday saw a small turnout with Mike, Lorna, Marian and Roger meeting at Petra's and being joined at the Iona parking lot by Ken and Anne, their daughter Christie, and a new participant, David, who added some humor and experience to the group. We had been orphaned again with Tom volunteering at the Canadian Open RBC Golf Tournament and Anne M. busy with guests. Strangely enough, we were able to see the golf course across the river from where we were and saw an individual, through the telescope, wearing an official's shirt. Looking at his knobby knees, Lorna said, "I think that's Tom".
Lorna, not wanting to ever miss a session, was there nursing a pinched nerve in her neck but persevered to the end… way to go Lorna! The weather was cool with an overcast sky and a slight breeze but, at least, the forecast rain never materialized.
Considerable time was spent at the outer pond where young Cliff Swallows were being fed on the railings of the viewing platform. (Note: clicking on a photo will enlarge it.)
On the pond were young Mallards, a Pied-billed Grebe, some Gadwall, some eclipse plumage Northern Shovellers, and a single Lesser Scaup. What was most interesting about the north, outer pond, was the complete absence of Yellow-headed Blackbirds which seemed to be very early for their having left. A few Spotted Towhees, Red-winged Blackbirds, and Marsh Wrens were seen and heard. There was no sign of any recent banding at the several stations. In the inner ponds we observed several Spotted Sandpipers,
three Long-billed Dowitchers, some Northern Shovellers, a Green-winged Teal, Canada Geese, Mallards, some Caspian Terns flying over, and some Brewer's Blackbirds. The highlight for most of us was the circling Osprey doing it's hovering and landing in a tree over our heads.
Of course, we paused for the obligatory group photo.
Leaving the ponds we paid close attention to the bird boxes along the river but found only one occupied by a Purple Martin family. Most seemed to be home to starlings. Back at the vehicles we were treated to wonderful peanut butter cookies provided by Marion! After the others left, Mike, Lorna and Roger went down to the beach where a Greater Yellowlegs was seen digging in the mud and some Caspian Terns resting on shore. At that point we met Richard Swanston who kindly explained, and showed us through his scope, how the banding on the tern legs is interpreted. Always an excellent learning experience when Richard is around. Thanks, Richard!
Ken, and Anne, expressed concern about coming south through the tunnel in the mornings and, perhaps, in the future if we are heading into Richmond and other northern areas we can have some sort of communication which would allow us to meet them at our destination to save them that inconvenience. Hopefully, David will join us on future trips as it was a pleasure to have his participation.
At this moment, we can assume a 7:00am meeting at Petra's next week with a 7:30am departure for another exciting outing.

We've been spoilt for elections recently but it's pretty shallow fry at the moment for those of us looking to win money on political betting.
However, UKIP, the gift that keeps on giving, have not let us down, and have yet another leadership election for us.
The favourite at the moment is Peter Whittle. I don't quite understand why – I've been scouring the internet and simply do not see any excitement in the UKIP voter base for him. He is deputy leader, and maybe, just maybe the UKIP faithful will go for experience. Odds on? You are having a laugh.
I did consider backing David Kurten, though mainly because he is backed by Leave.EU – and I believe by Nigel Farage.
Farage certainly doesn't like the candidate that I am backing (financially, I stress!). Anne-Marie Waters is a colourful character – it is fair to say that she is certainly anti-Islam – and you'll understand that there is enough people out there with similar views, especially if you dare go onto social media after a terrorist attack.
Scour social media, and you will find more support for her than any other candidate, by some way. Whether these are actual UKIP members who could vote, is hard to tell.
But she has that all important momentum. At 5/2, she is my main bet. You can get 5/2 with Coral or 888 Sport.
There is also a fair smattering of enthusiasm for John Rees-Evans, enough at odds of 10/1 with 888 Sport to make it attractive enough as a value bet. Though for some reason I was dumb and backed him at 8/1 with Coral.
Don't go crazy on either bet – I placed more on Anne-Marie Waters than John Rees-Evans. It will take until the end of September for the results to be announced, but if you agree that the alt-right, anti-Islam candidate is good value, then take the 5/2 as I only see her price shortening.

London Tech Week 2018

Upcoming London Tech Week is going to attract over 55,000 attendees
across 300 events from 11 - 17th June 2018. The event is a unique festival connecting science and creative minds, corporates and startups. The schedule of London Tech Week headline events is featuring a brand-new Future of Work Summit, curated to aid business owners in catapulting their workforces into 2030; alongside the AI Summit, co-located for the first time with TechXLR8 at the ExCeL London; as well as the nowrenowned programme of social events running as the heartbeat throughout the week – from the prestigious Prince's Trust Gala Dinner, to the massive Tech Night Party and then the Formula One Powerboat Racing at Royal Victoria Docks.
Poll conducted by the Barbican
Virtual attendance? No
A poll in the UK has revealed that 48% of event organisers are unwilling to offer virtual attendance at events.
And 58% want domestic travel to events to be limited to an hour. "Whilst some in the venue world will see such a lack of desire for virtual attendance as a positive due to increased revenues and footfall I am sitting on the fence," comments the Barbican's head of events, Jackie Boughton. "True it is good for business. However, it is better for long term business if people continue to hold events no matter what format they take. Adding virtual attendance is a great way to engage those who cannot be there for one reason or another." 29% of organisers are however working to develop solutions and technology for virtual attendance, providing a wider range of ways in which people can attend and engage with fellow participants. Jackie concludes by commenting that "technology is a great enabler, we should constantly seek new ways to use it throughout our events. However, we mustn't forget that the best way to build a relationship is face to face, which is why there will always be a need to get here, no matter how good the technology becomes." The research was conducted amongst 120 Barbican clients.

Center for Exhibition Industry Research
How to use Gamification
The Center for Exhibition Industry Research (CEIR) announced a new Industry Insight Series Report,
"How Exhibitors Can Use Games and Contests to Drive Greater Trade Show Success". "There has been a lot of buzz about gamification in the business world over the past several years, and the trade show world is no exception," explains author Samuel J. Smith. "Exhibitors want to know how to use the power of games to get more booth traffic and greater engagement with attendees. Games and contests are great tools for exhibitors to drive booth traffic, capture leads, and educate visitors about their products and services." The report covers content relating to what components are included in a game, why games motivate trade show attendees to play them, games that work best in a booth, how to tailor the game experience for exhibitor success, advice specific for digital games and two case studies. "CEIR's recent research on attendee engagement has uncovered that games that educate attendees about an exhibitor's products enjoy high attendee use," said CEIR CEO Cathy Breden. "Though this research also finds too few exhibitors are using this highly effective attendee engagement tactic. "

This charmingly foreign-sounding name comes the Scandinavian translation of the Latin word "Laurentius," which means, literally, "man from the place of laurel," but also, metaphorically, "victory." In the ancient world, laurel wreaths were the stuff of Olympians and Roman Emperors. Lars is a short but strong name for a man meant to lead a victorious life.
Drummer Lars Ulrich, Director Lars von Trier, Musician Lars Frederiksen

This year is all about home renovation! Who knows – if we change it enough, maybe we'll want to stay! … or something …
So the entry way brown and white is done and looks awesome. Which makes me super-excited to start the bathroom! We chose flooring and purchased the mirror and light fixture. I resisted the urge to go totally overboard and get the things I wanted: the $175 mirror, the $90 light, the $350 vanity. Instead, fiscally-responsible and mature me chose the medium-price items. Mirror + light + flooring = $130. Let the next owner upgrade!
Now, we're stuck. I want the new bathroom to be "girly," relaxing and peaceful. Andy 2 has forbidden pink and Andy has agreed (of course he has! He always sides with Haning!). So, below is a horrid picture of our oak stain and flooring (sorry!), and various paint samples. YOU be the JUDGE! Leave a comment with your vote (pink rules!).
The oak finish of the mirror, and the pseudo-marble vinyl flooring
Pick a pink, any pink!

Funded through the Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED), the Small Cities Program provides income based deferred grants to low to moderate income households living in substandard housing. The Small Cities Programs also encourages the improvement of the general appearance and value of the housing stock, while making a visible and substantial improvement in the quality of life in the community.
Small Cities Development Program funds are also available to commercial and rental property owners. This program can provide upgrades to properties, helping them meet code requirements and design standards.
Small Cities' grants require a match from the owner of the property. Most grants are written as a 70-80% grant funds and a 20-30% owner match for project funding. There is a maximum amount of funds that a project can receive as well. Prairie Five will assist in determining the match and other funding sources or options that may be available to fund the match requirement, if needed.
Small Cities Development Program funds are awarded annually by DEED to communities that have submitted an application. Funds are only available in those communities and there will be target areas in the communities where the funds can be used.

Polymyalgia Rheumatica and Who It Affects
Statistics on polymyalgia rheumatica (and who it affects) show that white women over the age of 50 are at the greatest risk of developing this condition. The average age of onset for this condition is 70 years old. In addition, people with polymyalgia rheumatica are at risk of developing a condition called temporal arteritis. It is currently unclear how or why these conditions are related.
White women over the age of 50 are at the greatest risk of developing polymyalgia rheumatica. Women are twice as likely as men to develop this condition.
Polymyalgia rheumatica almost exclusively affects people over the age of 50. The average age at onset is 70 years old.
Polymyalgia rheumatica is quite common. In the United States, it is estimated that 700 out of every 100,000 people over 50 years of age develop this disorder.
It is unclear how or why polymyalgia rheumatica and temporal arteritis (also known as giant cell arteritis or cranial arteritis) are related, but an estimated 15 percent of people in the United States with polymyalgia rheumatica also develop temporal arteritis. Patients can develop temporal arteritis either at the same time as polymyalgia rheumatica or after the polymyalgia symptoms disappear.
When a person is diagnosed with polymyalgia rheumatica (see Diagnosing Polymyalgia Rheumatica), the doctor also should look for symptoms of temporal arteritis because of the risk of blindness that accompanies this illness. With proper treatment, temporal arteritis is not threatening. Untreated, however, temporal arteritis can lead to serious complications, including permanent vision loss and stroke.

Seven-time GRAMMY winner, Randy Travis, will launch a silver anniversary concert tour throughout the U.S. and Canada on February 10th in Grand Ronde, Oregon. The tour will hit more than 30 cities with additional shows to be added.
Travis remarked on the tour saying, "I'm surprised at how fast the first 25 years have gone by, it feels like only five. There's no better feeling than being on stage and the connection with a live audience."
In June 2011, Travis marked the official beginning of his 25th year in the industry with Warner Bros. Records by releasing a 17-track Anniversary Celebration album featuring a lineup of guests including Brad Paisley, Kenny Chesney, Kris Kristofferson, Carrie Underwood, George Jones, Zac Brown Band and Jamey Johnson. In May 2011, Cracker Barrel exclusively released the 12-track album, Randy Travis, which benefited the national Wounded Warriors Project and featured three previously unreleased songs.
