With the rise in indie publishing and more options available to a writer, you can no longer tell yourself that it's okay to just write and release your work into the world and it will find an audience. Even if you go with a legacy publisher, the publicity and marketing you feel your book should get and what it actually gets are two very different things, unless you're one of their stable of bestselling writers that they feel is a sure bet to make them money.
To survive in the publishing landscape, every writer must become a hybrid between creative and marketer, an authorpreneur that both creates and markets their work.
The romanticized notion of a writer in their creative space, laying text on the page for their readers and sending it off when it's finished, cueing end credits on the process, is over. That image has now pivoted. Where the end credits would have rolled is now the beginning of the harder work, getting the notice of the reading public. No longer is it enough to be able to write well, you must be able to sell yourself as a writer worth noticing and your book as something worth reading.
As more and more mainstream published writers turn to publishing their own works and the whole indie/self published industry grows out of its reputation of vanity and not being good enough for legacy publishers, the landscape is going to change dramatically, making a writer's skill at marketing themselves and their work not just a necessary skill, but an invaluable one.
Every writer should be working on honing their skill as a marketer right along with their skill as a writer. In pauses between drafts, read up on social media marketing, start following blogs that review work in your genre and start commenting on posts, start your own blog and document your journey of writing your book, network with other authors on twitter, Facebook and Google+.
Most of all, study a writer that you see working social media like a rock star. Look at what they're doing, what ratio they're posting social comments to promotion. Every avenue of social media has ways of tracking how many people are reading what you post, whether they're sharing it or talking about it and what days and times most people read your posts. Use the tools, they're free and they'll help make it more a part of the process of getting your book out there and less of a dreaded chore.
This listing has 50 free tools, there's something in there for everyone.:
We all have what it takes to be an authorpreneur. Start now, no matter what phase of your writing journey you're in, it's never too late.

My name is Angelina Demartis and I teach Italian and History at a public high school in Alghero, my hometown.
Cooking has always been my passion as far as I can remember. When I was just a child I used to help my mother and my grandmother prepare those delicious dishes that inundated with unforgettable fragrances our home.
A few years ago I decided to deepen my passion and knowledge for cooking. I attended a professional school for hotel and restaurant services in my town and became a Chef. Then I attended several courses on gastronomic traditions of Sardinia and on Italian regional specialties.
I am happy and enthusiastic with the last course I attended at. It was held by one of the prominent chefs in Sardinia, Cristiano Andreini, who is a Michelin Star Chef.
Occasionally in my house I organize meetings of traditional and regional cuisine, not only of Sardinia, with students of the "Mediterranean Centre Pintadera" who want to know the Italian language and culture deepening one of its most significant: the kitchen.
This pleasant experience made me think it would be nice to open my home to other people, on vacation in Alghero, they wanted to spend an evening learning about the cuisine of the Italian family tradition. During the meetings, we describe the characteristics of the products (always first quality) and the dishes will be prepared together and will enjoy a pleasant family atmosphere. Each guest will require a reimbursement to address the total expenditure in every meeting they support (purchase of products, environmental cleaning, linen, crockery, etc..).

Divers in the Upper Peninsula have continued recovery efforts for a 50-year-old Oxford man and his 16-year-old son who were swept away by strong currents.
Michigan State Police say both victims were swimming about 6 p.m. Thursday with the man's 23-year-old daughter in Grand Marais Harbor in Alger County's Burt Township. A rip current pulled all three from shore and separated the woman from the other two.
Police said the woman was able to break free of the current, noticed her father and brother were in distress but was unable to reach them because of the current and waves.
Both swimmers were submerged by the time she swam to shore and called for help.
None of the swimmers have been identified.
No further details were released.

Serving multiple clients on the same port in Erlang
In the previous post, I wrote down a really basic interface for the gen_server I'm going to use in my card game: there were a couple of basic handle_calls used to manage users' turns etc etc.
Obviously, if we want to handle connecting users, we must set up a socket on a specific port and listen to what is coming in there.
A really easy way to do this is shown in this post. Let's start by writing in our gen_server (in the internal functions space) the following function:
conn_manager(Port) -> {ok, Listen} = gen_tcp:listen(Port, [binary, {keepalive, true}, {reuseaddr, true}, {active, once}]), spawn(fun() -> parallel_connection(Listen) end).
conn_manager(Port) is a really simple fuction called in the init function; it does the following: create a tcp socket on the Port passed as argument to the function, this socket will have some features, as you can see we specified that the traffic going trough it is of type binary, that we want the server to send keepalive packets to mantain the connection up and running, that the address may be reused and most importan that this socket will be active once.
What does the active once mean? Well, the socket could have been always active, and this means that we would have been listening to the incoming data without any restrictions…well, sometimes this is a good thing, but think about Denial of Service attacks..we definitely may prefer to listen to the incoming traffic only when neededt…
After the creation of the socket we spawn a new process and pass to it the reference to the socket.
Let's move on:
parallel_connection(Listen) -> {ok, Socket} = gen_tcp:accept(Listen), case is_in_blacklist(Socket) of false -> spawn(fun() -> parallel_connection(Listen) end), conn_loop(Socket); true -> gen_tcp:close(Socket) end.
parallel_connection(Listen) is the function spawned as a new process by the previous function. In the very beginning it accepts any incoming connection and checks whether it comes from a blacklisted IP (note that is_in_blacklist is function that I did by myself so it is not a erlang standard function, if the clients in in the blacklist the connection is closed, otherwise we do two things: first we spawn a new parallel_connection function so that new clients may be able to connect to the server, and the we call the function conn_loop(Socket) so that we can manage the traffic coming from the already connected user.
conn_loop(Socket) -> receive {tcp, Socket, Bin} -> inet:setopts(Socket, [{active, once}]), case Bin of ....case matching with incoming binaries (e.g. join match) end, conn_loop(Socket); {tcp_closed, Socket} -> closed end.
As you can see conn_loop(Socket) is a very basic function…it is a simple receive function that in case of incoming traffic {tcp, Socket, Bin} triggers the socket to receive once more and than with a case construct manages the incoming binaries.
This post was written in a hurry, so if you have questions or comments or anything just comment it or mail me so that I can correct it!
A client for our echo server in C
Last time I posted something about sockets, ending up with a small server that accepted one client and greeted it.
Anyhow I left two things to do: fist the client was simulated by a telnet connection, and second the server wasn't devised for a multiclient approach.
For the client side, I can briefly say that all the concepts I have introduced in last post are valid: to create a client we create a socket descriptor, connect to it and then send and receive data over it (we don't use listen and accept here), then we close the socket.
Thus a valid example is:
#include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <sys/socket.h> #include <arpa/inet.h> #include <string.h> #define BUF_SIZE (1000) int main(int narg, char *varg[]) { int socketfd; struct sockaddr_in server_addr; int port = atoi(varg[2]); //convert a string to an integer int recv_len, sent_len; char buf[BUF_SIZE]; printf("Connecting to %s:%d\n", varg[1], port); // create the socket if possible if ((socketfd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_TCP)) < 0) { perror("unable to create socket"); return -1; } // configure the server address for the socket server_addr.sin_family = AF_INET; server_addr.sin_port = htons(port); server_addr.sin_addr.s_addr = inet_addr(varg[1]); // connect to the server via the socket created above if (connect(socketfd, (struct sockaddr *) &server_addr, sizeof(server_addr)) < 0) { perror("unable to connect"); return -1; } // receive data from server recv_len = recv(socketfd, buf, BUF_SIZE, 0); if (recv_len == 0) { printf("server disconnected!\n"); close(socketfd); return 0; } if (recv_len < 0) { perror("error receiving data from server"); return -1; } printf("received from server %d bytes:%s", recv_len, buf); close(socketfd); return 0; }
To execute the following code try to run the run in one shell the code for the server I have posted last time and in another the following:
bellorofonte@pegaso:~$ ./client 127.0.0.1 4000 Connecting to 127.0.0.1:4000 received from server 14 bytes:Hello World!
You may have noticed that in the above case we specified the IP address of the server in the notation xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, you may want to use the function struct hostent *gethostbyname(const char *name) by including the library <netdb.h>
You can type something like:
struct hostent *host = gethostbyname("localhost");
where hostent is the following structure:
struct hostent { char *h_name; // official name of host char **h_aliases; // list of aliases int h_addrtype; // host address type int h_length; // lenght of address char **h_addr_list; // list of addresses }
For the multiclient server stay tuned!

Publication - Advice and guidance
Exotic diseases of animals: communications strategy
- Directorate:
- Agriculture and Rural Delivery Directorate
- Part of:
- Farming and rural, Health and social care
- 9781788512480
This communications strategy is for use in the event of a disease outbreak, whether a major outbreak with widespread disease, or a more limited incident.
2. Strategic Objectives
2.1 To control and eradicate an exotic animal disease it is vital that communications are fully integrated into the response from the suspicion phase through to confirmation of disease, disease control and finally disease eradication and a return to normal conditions. Only by getting the right mix of communication channels operating at the right time and fully coordinated with wider government, operational partners and stakeholders, will the Scottish Government be able to lead Scotland's response to disease incursion anywhere within Great Britain ( GB). The Scottish Government's main communication objectives are to:
- coordinate disease response communication activities with and between operational partners and disease control stakeholders
- ensure the right information is targeted and available to all responders when they need it
- supply operational partners and, where appropriate, other stakeholders, with the pertinent facts and figures before they enter the public domain
- maintain a close working relationship with all GB administrations regardless of where disease incursion takes place in GB (links will also be maintained with the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs ( DAERA) in Northern Ireland)
- utilise the right mix of communication channels in order to maximise coverage of information to all target groups and individuals and ensure there are no gaps in the information cascade
- maintain a close working relationship with the media to avoid misleading and contradictory information reaching the public domain
- ensure all information is accurate before it reaches external audiences and ensure all stakeholders are aware of the message sign-off procedure before they put any information into the public domain (via social media for example)
- maintain a close working relationship with industry to both, convey Scottish Government policy; and to assist in disseminating key information to industry grass roots.

ISL ranks among best attended football league in world
The Hero Indian Super League, inching closer to its halfway mark, has achieved the rare milestone of having registered the highest average stadium attendance for any football league in Asia
New Delhi: The Hero Indian Super League, inching closer to its halfway mark, has achieved the rare milestone of having registered the highest average stadium attendance for any football league in Asia.
At the completion of match 27 on November 9, the inaugural edition has had an average stadium attendance of 22,639, positioning ISL as the best attended league across Asia, ahead of competitions such as China's CSL, Japan's J-League and South Korea's K-League.
The attendance in stadia across the country has also made India score globally amongst the best football Leagues. ISL ranks the fifth highest football league in average attendance around the world, behind only Bundesliga, EPL, La Liga and Serie A, and ahead of the USA's popular MLS, French Ligue 1 and Mexico's Liga MX.
The average attendance ranks ISL as the 11th best attended Leagues across any sport around the world. "We are delighted by the overwhelming response to the ISL's inaugural season. We have always believed in the potential of football, and the fans' support highlights the fact that football in the country needed the right platform.
"The popularity with which the ISL has been received only spurs us on towards realising the eventual dream of giving rise to a footballing nation. We take this opportunity to thank the people of India for extending such great support," an ISL spokesperson said.
The ISL is already the most watched non-cricketing sport in India with 275 million viewers tuning in over the first three weeks alone. The league has also dominated social media trends notching up over 5 billion impressions on Facebook and Twitter.

Frankie in America
They wore rude t-shirts, stayed in posh hotels, appeared on TV shows and even played live. Our spies in New York: David Keeps and David Sprague.
Expectations were high before Frankie's arrival in America. New York Streets were plastered with their advertising slogans and a brisk trade in "RELAX" t-shirts was well under way. One store in trendy Greenwich Village sold shirts with the witty slogan "FRANKIE COMES FROM HOBOKEN" —
On the eve of the Presidential elections, Frankie played in the American capital, Washington D.C., but failed to stir things up with their own t-shirts which read "FRANKIE SAY SHIT THE POLITICIAN".
Arriving in New York they moved into the posh Berkshire Place Hotel, which Duran Duran made their headquarters during their New York dates earlier in the year. The foyer of the hotel, on a typical night of Frankie's stay, was jammed with rather well-heeled folk enjoying a drink or getting ready for the theatre. Mob scenes? Sorry, barely a murmur.
They appeared on the very popular TV show, Saturday Night Live and the general opinion was that they "sucked" (i.e. were less than impressive) but, say those in the know, everyone looks and sounds awful on that show. They also did a photo session for the magazine, Esquire, where our spies report that Nasher and Ped were full of their amorous exploits, Holly confessed a weakness for designer Giorgio Armani's fashions and all things Italian, and Paul Rutherford arrived listening to Prince's LP, "Controversy" on his Walkman. Stripping off to get changed into smart suits for the photo, Ped revealed a pair of blue nylon swimming trunks, Mark a pair of Nike running shorts and Holly confessed he had on his worst pair of white cotton boxer shorts.
The Frankie shows proved far less revealing, although the tickets were sold out and the crowds who crammed into their New York shows buzzed with excitement.
Unfortunately, for a group with an unparalleled reputation for naughtiness, Frankie on stage are extremely tame. There's little of the punch of their records. Apart from the rousing opener of "War" and the encore of "Relax" they never even sweat. Paul Rutherford admittedly gets a bit moist while dancing in his tight t-shirt and jeans but Holly looks more like an old-fashioned schoolteacher than anything else. Decked out in a long coat and high collared shirt, he could have just stepped from the pages of Oliver Twist. His onstage chat is just as prim and proper too with lots of corny "I love New York" lines.
Having learned the trick of really stretching out their hits (and even repeating "Relax"), they flesh out songs like "The Power Of Love" and "The Pleasuredome" with special effects —
The whole extravaganza lasts barely an hour and the crowd devours every morsel. But not hungrily enough for Holly. "You're going to have to do better than that," he teases the encore shouters.
So, Holly, are you.

In the wake of eruption of the latest tension between Pakistan and the United States we are being constantly fed with the juicy slogan of new terms of engagement with the sole superpower. Let me assert at the outset that Pakistan needs to review the entire spectrum of it's outdated cold war era foreign policy instead of restricting the possible change to the volatile and mercurial ties between Islamabad and Washington. Pakistan joined the Western camp in the first place out of fear of India. That fear must disappear as Pakistan is a nuclear power. From now on the two rivals are not likely to go to war. The only alternative therefore is to live in peace with our eastern neighbor without of course compromising our principled stand on our core issues including Kashmir and water among others. Once Pakistan and India normalise their relations there will no need for my country to cling to Washington for security. I am not ruling out the imperative need of friendly relations with the western world led by USA. In support of my thesis I shall argue firstly that a major shift in our traditional engagement with USA is not possible before addressing the root cause which is a perceived existential security threat from India which fortunately no longer exists. Secondly Pakistan cannot sustain democracy without transforming itself from a national security to a national welfare state. Our security dilemma is obviously compounded primarily by the real or imagined but outdated threat of India. Anybody who is keen to redefine new terms of engagement with the United States without advocacy of an environment of peace and cooperation in South Asia may be living in a paradise of his/her fertile imagination. Our security-obsessed mindset in relation to India is perhaps the greatest hindrance in the way of a mutually beneficial and a reciprocally respectable relationship with our erstwhile cold war and currently terror war allies.
I am also convinced that our foreign policy establishment is apparently not interested to envision and practice a meaningful shift in our dependence upon the United States come what may. Our recent responses to US provocations look peripheral, superficial, unrealistic and emotional. Let me conclude by warning our foreign policy warriors that the never ending Indo-Pak cold war will push us into the fate experienced by the defunct USSR. By blaming everything on India we may be sticking to the wrong side of history. While I have no love lost for Indian intransigence I believe that avoidable confrontation with India is a zero sum game .Perhaps a serious look at the PPP Manifesto 2008 may be a good starting point to clear the clouds of war and hatred from the horizons of nuclear armed South Asia.
Islamabad, January 21.

|We will keep families updated as soon as we know more. Currently we are planning one day at a time as information becomes available from the Maine Department of Education and the CDC
|Just a note of appreciation for the efforts RSU 1 is taking. Although very inconvenient, the action is necessary. I hope communication remains as open as it has been so far. As much advance notice of any/decisions as possible is appreciated. Also, maybe some tips on how to discuss this with our kids without fear. Perhaps the guidance counselors and nurses could prepare some guidelines. Again, thank you!
|The Maine Department of Education has some great resources for talking to students. See here: https://www.maine.gov/doe/covid-19
|Will school work that is completed over the next few weeks be graded and counted?
|Work will be collected. If work is graded, it will be a habits of work grade.
|We have a budget of about $10k with the Bath Elementary PTA. Let us know if you need it!!!! Happy to contribute. Karen
|Thank you, Karen! We'll let you know should we need that. You may want to conider reaching out to Tim Harkins (email@example.com) as we will be feeding many families and not getting reimbursed. I'm sure he'd be happy to hear from you.
|Is RSU1 working with the city of Bath? We all need to see solidarity and consistency with info.
|We have been working closely from the start with all Bath emergency officials to create a plan together.
|I was in China a the height of SARS. I believe that they were able to keep schools open by monitoring student and staff temps. I personally had my temp taken 3 times a day by goverment officials in my hotel room. This probably won't go over well in the US, but it might be something to consider to keep schools open and ease fears. See: https://news.bloomberglaw.com/daily-labor-report/insight-coronavirus-testing-issues-for-employers-reaching-for-thermometer
|Thank you for your feedback and sharing your experience.
|Will we be able to borrow leveled readers? Or learning targets shared? (Especially for math)
|Teachers will be putting together literacy resources for students tomorrow for pick-up during the 1-3 om window. Books will be part of this.
|Are students doing online work throughout the 2 weeks?
|There will be some elements of distance learning for students in grades 6-12. Staff have been working on these plans and will complete the initiial work tomorrow, which will then she shared with families.
|Will there be online school?
|Teachers are preparing online materials and activities for students, with alternatives for students who cannot access the internet. Tomorrow is being devoted to planning, with more details to be sent to families by the end of the day.
|Will we have to make up school in the summer? Also will we still have April break?
|Distance days do not need to be made up.
|What time can students pick up their belongings?
|The times were shared today via a phone message/email. In most buildings it is from 1-3pm Monday.
|Will these days have to be made up?
|Distance days do not need to be made up.
|What about the high school for Morse? I've gotten the BMS and Fisher Mitchell schools but nothing about the high school other then it's closed for 2 weeks. Is there a time when they can get their stuff
|All messages have now gone out.
|If we are receiving the school work tomorrow and do it through out the 2 weeks are we going to still have a April break.
|This is not known yet.
|Will my 4th grader bring his laptop home for school work?
|We have purposefully developed a lower-tech approach with the K-5 grades and do not plan for them to bring their Chromebooks home at this time. We will evaluate that possibility as the situation develops.

Attorney Lawrence Egerton: seek medical advice soon
Now, be sure to talk to your doctor and tell him where you hurt, when you hurt, and how much you hurt. Unless you tell him about it, he won't put it in his reports. If it's not in the reports, it doesn't exist to the insurance company. Be sure to tell the doctor what is wrong with you.
Another thing that you should be aware of is that when you make an appointment with the doctor, be sure that you go. If you make an appointment and don't go, the doctor puts it in his records that you skipped an appointment. When the insurance company sees that, they'll say you must not have been hurt very bad. If you can't go to an appointment, be sure to call the doctors office and let him know.

250 Gms Maida or Standard Flour (do not use self-raising flour)
4 tblsp Rice Flour
2 Eggs
¼ tsp Nutmeg Powder
4 cups Thick Coconut Milk ( Canned Coconut Milk can be used)- as required
Salt to taste (1 Tsp), water & sugar (3 tbsp)
Kokis Mold
Oil for deep frying
Mix all the ingredients and coconut milk to form a thickish batter ( not as thick as dosa and not as thin as Pancake(panpole)).
Heat the oil and place the head of the mold in the hot oil. When the oil is hot, remove the mold and dip in the batter. Do not cover the top – only upto the sides. Keep for 15 secs and then remove and dip back in hot oil. Do a couple of dip down and up movements so that the kokis seperates from the mold.
Fry on both sides until golden brown and remove onto perforated vessel or paper towels. When cool store in water tight containers.
You get around 50 kokis with this quantity of flour.

OMG - I have a computer again! It's like suddenly remembering what an orgasm is like after weeks without one. I missed it so, so much. And yeah, for those curious, I'm hunched over my computer like a little Gollum, rubbing the shiny white case and muttering 'my precious' over and over.
*cough* So I have a love/hate relationship with the thing. When it works, I love it. When it breaks, it is that evil bastard that I always knew would leave me someday and I hope it rots in hell. Although I want to call it a bitch, curiously. Suppose that's my latent lesbian tendencies coming to the fore, considering how much caressing it's getting right now.
Edit: And for those who wonder what evil befell my computer this time, it was the power button. Yeah, that's right, the power button, three months after the warranty ends. Because you don't need to build those to last or anything. They're hardly ever used, right? Frick - such a bunch of crap, I swear.
Okay, deep breath, good air in, emo-angst out. Ready to go on.
In any case, writing commences now, as fast as I can make it happen. Which, as NaNoWriMo has taught me, is about 800-900 words in 10 minutes, if I write like a crazy person and don't mind a few grammatical errors in my blitzkrieg of a first draft. Which is a good thing, 'cause sometimes 10 minutes is about all I've got these days.
Speaking of...
Since life is getting a little better this year than it was last, I believe I'm going to try for NaNoWriMo again. Hope it turns out well enough to put out...once all the other stories are done, that is. Wishing any other NaNoWriMo writers the best in their efforts this year, as well. If anyone has wanted to start a writing project and is having trouble motivating themselves to get it started, this might be something that you'd enjoy. Check it out.

Home of the Year 2019 is Altherm Window Systems' 10th year as principal sponsor. To celebrate, we've collected some architectural highlights from their decade of extraordinary commitment
How clever urban design is celebrated through Home of the Year
Thanks to intense population growth in our biggest centres and a history of poor planning, Auckland and Wellington – along with Queenstown and Christchurch, for different reasons – are facing a new wave of pressures and challenges.
In recent years, Home of the Year has recognised this with awards for City and Multi-Unit categories, in which architects often deal with complex planning and thinking. On tight city sites overlooked by neighbours, windows and doors become even more important – getting light and ventilation into homes is vital, but paradoxically that much more difficult.
Altherm is well used to partnering with architects in such contexts, and is known for going that little bit further in the pursuit of excellence.
The brand's suite of ranges – including Metro Series and APL Architectural Series – provide a high level of customisation and technical precision to suit even the most demanding of urban contexts.
E-Type House
RTA Studio | Grey Lynn, Auckland | Home of the Year 2015
Richard Naish's home was his second finalist in Home of the Year – his previous was in 2011. In many ways, the winning 'E-type' design was a reaction to slavishly open-plan living. Where his former home had wide-open spaces, this one took a compartmentalised approach. Naish designed in an 'E' shape around courtyards, with places for family to retreat and come together. The home's three pavilions climb up a slope and maximise the northerly aspect.
Contemporary, but sympathetic to the neighbourhood, the home is very private. Roof pitches mimic surrounding villas, while 'garden rooms' spill out to north-facing courtyards through generous sliding glass doors. Angled toplight Metro Series windows pull light deep into the plan, and large sliding doors blur distinctions between garden rooms and courtyards.
Zavos Corner
Parsonson Architects | Mt Victoria, Wellington | Best Multi-Unit 2016
A brilliant response to a challenging brief on a small site, Parsonson designed eight apartments on a 568-square-metre piece of land. Urban and urbane, it doesn't disrupt the surrounding suburban nature, thanks to pitched roofs and a design that breaks down the building's mass into smaller modules. Arranged around an open north-facing courtyard, each apartment connects to the street and courtyard. Connections between indoors and out are seamless, and highlighted with projections – window seats, bay windows, whole walls of glass – which simultaneously provide views, light and privacy.
Narrow Neck House
Mitchell Stout Architects | Narrow Neck, Auckland | Finalist 2010
The late David Mitchell designed and renovated several houses for himself, but this house – designed with partner Julie Stout – sought to question the nature of suburban occupation. Around a pond and garden, the pair designed two apartments and a studio, each with private living areas. Carefully positioned openings are shielded from the street by wing-like roofs, and a roof terrace takes in views. Elegantly placed windows provide relief from concrete walls.
Ranges: APL Architectural Series & Commercial Series.

AI is everywhere. What does it mean for the average business owner?
In 2017, the research firm Gartner predicted 2018 would mark the dawn of a "democratization of AI." The company's prognosis for 2019 points to the disruption of industries and the adoption of new business models. While some forecasters warn of future job losses and other unintended consequences of AI adoption, the fact is we're all benefiting from the Age of Artificial Intelligence today.
You're probably already using AI
In online customer support
If your business harnesses cutting edge customer service tools like autoresponder emails and chatbots, you're relying on the customer service potential of AI.
In business operations
If you use computer programs to map the fastest shipping routes or to automatically direct service requests, you're employing the logistical efficiency of AI.
In sales and business forecasting
If you speed up data acquisition and analysis with algorithms, you're gaining meaningful predictive capabilities and automated insights via AI.
In safeguarding your business assets
If you rely on security applications to detect outages, breaches, and fraud, you're benefiting from the real-time responses of AI.
In marketing and advertising
If you use software to segment audiences and re-target website visitors on advertising platforms, you're capitalizing on the automation and analytical powers of AI.
But maybe you could be using it better
If your business' adoption of AI has been piecemeal, you're probably not gaining the full advantage of artificial intelligence. By developing a cohesive, strategic plan for the implementation and integration of machine learning, augmented analytics, and other AI tools, you equip your business with the power to become a full citizen in the innovative new democracy that awaits us.
At Antares, we work with enterprises in a variety of industries to facilitate the transition to a modern business model that makes the most of AI and other innovative software solutions. From custom applications built to meet your exact specifications to portals that use augmented analytics and automated security precautions to optimize operations, we're equipped with the knowledge, skills, and foresight to prepare your business for the future of business.

|MySQL/PHP3 for newbies. Suggestions?
|View as plain text
Hi. I've been asked by a couple of people to help them get started with MySQL and PHP3 as a webserver backend. I've been thinking about this and came to the conclusion that I'd might as well write a small introduction/beginners guide to MySQL/PHP3 while I'm at it. Since I'm no expert in the area I'd like some feedback from you boys and girls out there who also has experience with this. I'm not interested in MySQL/PHP3 installation problems or how to tweak performance by fooling around with key buffers and such, what I'm interested in is design issues. What to think of when designing the database, what to be wary of when using PHP3's MySQL functions, what mistakes you have done that you'd like to tell others about and so on. For instance, is it a better approach to have several small tables or one big when doing queries? If I have several small tables I can pinpoint the data I need. If I have one big table there's a lot of stuff I'd have to skip (i.e. not select), but then again it might be faster to open just one table thnan skipping through several small. And how big overhead is it if I choose too 'big' variables? HDD size is one thing but how much slower will MySQL be if I use an INT where I could have used a TINYINT? Stuff like that. This article will be targeted at smaller projects and at complete beginners when it comes to database design. I assume that they'll have a good understanding of HTML and has basic programming knowledge (i.e. they should know what a for loop is and such). Since this might be a bit off topic for this list, please send your suggestions, ideas and comments directly to me at martin.edelius@stripped. Credits will of course be given to all who participates. Thanks.

Readers in Miami-Dade, and throughout the nation, are likely aware that when someone dies, part of the estate administration process is the distribution of assets as outlined in their estate plan. Probate issues can arise if it is discovered that assets or property have been taken by someone outside the legal disbursement process.
Actor, Ryan O'Neal, and the University of Texas are reportedly involved in just such an estate property dispute. According to reports, following the death of O'Neal's long-time love, Farrah Fawcett, in 2009, he went back to her home to retrieve an Andy Warhol painting of the actress. He claims that Warhol himself gave the painting to him as a gift but that Fawcett took it to her home in 1998, the year after they split. In her will, it was reported that Fawcett left all of her artwork to the university. The University of Texas' trustees have purportedly filed a lawsuit, claiming that the painting was a part of Fawcett's collection and, as such, should have been transferred to the university after her death, along with her other pieces.
It is unknown to the public at this time whether or not Fawcett's estate plan included any type of catalog of her artwork, which could show that the painting either did or did not belong to her. There was reportedly another, very similar piece in her collection, which the university does have in its possession.
Regardless of the issue, anyone who is having problems with an estate settlement, or who needs assistance creating a will and estate plan, may find it of benefit to speak with an experienced attorney. A lawyer can answer questions, as well as offer advice based on the specific situation or needs.

What to do in the North Woods of Wisconsin
Sleep Under the Northern Wisconsin Stars
Marinette County campgrounds, public and private, give you the opportunity to walk through our dense forests, stop at a cold stream for a drink or to fish and then curl up in your sleeping bag beside a glowing fire. Choices range from remote campsites to deluxe vacation homes and everything in between.
Crivitz, Wisconsin Fishing
The Crivitz area has the highest concentration of Class A trout streams in the state of Wisconsin (hundreds of miles) as well as an abundance of other popular game fish.

Cherokee Girls' Basketball Team Barely Takes Home the Win Against Rival Lenape
With the home court advantage, Cherokee's girls' basketball team beat out the Lenape girls' basketball team by a bare margin of 35-33 through a slew of skill and teamwork. In the second game of their season, the Lady Chiefs showed off their great chemistry, especially the Therien sisters, but fell short in their mechanics and ball play.
The starting lineup consisted of captains Katie Cummiskey ('18), Lyndsay Craig ('18), and Ava Therien ('19), as well as Kennedy Wilburn ('20) and Alexa Therien ('21). The girls started the first half with a bang, ending the first quarter with a lead of 13-1 over Lenape.
"Defensively…we're…ahead of where we are offensively. The game plan [was]…to try to take away the three point shots from them," said head coach Powell.
However, this sharp performance tapered off in the second quarter. Both teams combined committed around 11 fouls, most of which benefited the Indians, bringing their trailing score to 13 to 8 with 5:57 left in the quarter.
The third quarter was rookie Alexa Therien's time to shine; she scored eight points in this quarter alone. The Indians shot a total of two three-pointers, despite Cherokee's defensive effort. The Indians got most of their points (about 13 points collectively) in this quarter and gained on the Chiefs. With 3:40 left in the game, the teams were neck and neck with Lenape taking the lead in a score of 19-23. The fouls continued to persist, with a total of five fouls on both sides.
With the final quarter underway, some players made a full effort. Wilburn made a total of five points, three of which were foul shots. But nothing compared to the action in the last five minutes of the game, where the score jumped from the trailing Chiefs' score of 28-30, to a tie of 33-33, and then to the Chiefs' winning score of 35-33. The shining star in all this chaos was Ava Therien, who made the shot which tied both teams and the winning shot with only 10 seconds left in the game.
To Ava Therien, it was not as easy as it sounds.
"Especially playing against Lenape, it's really nerve wracking. But you have to…try and stay… composed…(and)…understand what you have to do to get everything done," said Ava Therien.
With this miraculous win, to the fans, the game felt like an early high point in the Cherokee season. In reality, the players still need to improve a lot of their game play.
"Even though it's a win, I was not really satisfied with how we played," said Coach Powell. "We're usually pretty solid in our defense,…[but we] gave up thirteen offensive rebounds." Or, in other words, "we should be throwing the ball to the team with the white shirts and not the team with the red shirts on".
"It's about focus right now and…making good decisions when you have the ball on your hands and running our sets," says Coach Powell, looking forward to improvement.
Other players, especially the veteran players, also recognize the need for improvement in execution.
"Once things don't go our way, we can't just stop," said senior post Maggie Rowan.
"We don't give up, but we [can]…revert back to not playing well. We have to keep up the energy and hope and confidence in our team and ourselves," said Craig.
With their star 2016-17 Courier-Post Girls' Basketball Player of the Year, Isabella Therien, gone, the girls are still finding their way.
"I was a little nervous today, especially coming from…last year. There's a lot of expectation with my sister leaving," said Ava Therien.
"Even when they weren't doing so well, they could rely on Izzy to bail them out, because she was just that talented," said Coach Powell
But with an undefeated record so far into the season, the girls have made a great start.
Lenape had a good run as well, showing off their offensive skills and tenacity.
"I thought it was going to run away, but the girls didn't quit," said Coach Hummel of Lenape. "To know we are competing with one of the best teams in the area is good to know. It's fun, but it's more fun when you win," he said.
Lenape's leading three-point shooter Shannon Mulroy said, "we didn't bring the energy, we let Cherokee set the tone", which was one of their setbacks early in the game.
With a rematch later in the season, there is no telling what the heat of the competition will bring out in both of the teams. Cherokee plays their next game at Paul IV High School at 1 PM on December 27 against Sterling High School.

On the Localization of the Geographical Distribution of the McCoy Strain of Plasmodium Vivax 1
West Florida and contiguous Alabama are indicated as the indigenous habitat of the McCoy strain by, (a) original isolation of the strain, (b) the detection of a person naturally refractory to this strain from this region, and (c) the short duration of attacks produced by the McCoy strain in west Floridians and Alabamians, which probably has considerable homologous significance. The attacks of moderate duration experienced by southerners from outside this region probably are of heterologous significance.

The Honorable Jill Lynette Long Thompson
"They did comment on how we looked, how we dressed, but here is something else that I discovered, and this is more serious. They would cover us in a more critical way in terms of our work, than they would a white man. And, for example, I had to prove to—and I know this story would have been planted by the other party—'What is she accomplishing? Yes, she's in Congress but what has she accomplished in her two terms?' And then you'd have to provide the list of everything that you had accomplished. And, I had a predecessor that really had, had nothing to speak of to his name and you'd never see a story like that. And, so yes, they commented on how we looked, what our personalities were like, but then substantively, you had to constantly prove that you were getting things done."
—The Hon. Jill Lynette Long Thompson, June 15, 2017
Abstract & Transcript
U.S. Representative from Indiana (March 28, 1989–January 3, 1995)
Jill Lynette Long Thompson overcame many obstacles to earn a seat in Congress. With service on the Valparaiso city council as her only political experience, she ran a solid, albeit unsuccessful, U.S. Senate campaign in 1986 laying the foundation for her future time in public office. After losing an uphill battle in 1988 for an Indiana seat in the U.S. House held by Republicans for more than a decade, she jumped into a special election the following year for the same district when the incumbent was appointed to the Senate. This time, Long Thompson came out on top.
During her six years in the House, Long Thompson faced unique challenges as a Democrat in a Republican-leaning district and as one of only four women to represent Indiana in Congress. Raised on a dairy farm in Indiana, Long Thompson explains in her oral history how her agricultural background shaped her approach to politics and her House service. She describes the connections between her academic career in business, her experience as a college instructor, and her views on fiscal responsibility and taxes. In her interview she also discusses her work with the Democratic Leadership Council as well as her personal connection to veterans' issues.
In 1995, she married Don Thompson, changing her name to Jill Lynette Long Thompson. While serving in Congress, she was known as Jill Lynette Long.
LONG, Jill Lynette, a Representative from Indiana; born in Warsaw, Kosciusko County, Ind., July 15, 1952; graduated from Columbia City Joint High School, Columbia City, Ind.; B.S., Valparaiso University, Valparaiso, Ind., 1974; M.B.A., Indiana University, Bloomington, Ind., 1978; Ph.D., Indiana University, Bloomington, Ind., 1984; assistant instructor and lecturer, Indiana University, Bloomington, 1977–1980; assistant professor Valparaiso University, 1981–1986, 1987–1988; adjunct professor, Indiana University/Purdue University-Fort Wayne, 1987–1989; member, Valparaiso, Ind., city council, 1984– 1986; business consultant; unsuccessful candidate for election to the United States Senate in 1986; unsuccessful candidate for election to the One Hundred First Congress in 1988; elected as a Democrat to the One Hundred First Congress by special election to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of United States Representative Daniel Ray Coats; reelected to the two succeeding Congresses (March 28, 1989–January 3, 1995); unsuccessful candidate for reelection to the One Hundred Fourth Congress in 1994; fellow at the Institute of Politics, John F. Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University; Cambridge, Mass.; business executive; Under Secretary for Rural Economic and Community Development, Department of Agriculture, 1995-2001; unsuccessful candidate for election to the One Hundred Eighth Congress in 2002.

An environmental, health and safety (EHS) management and audit program is now a prerequisite for organizations in various kinds of business. Allied to the emergence of and developing along with the concepts of worker safety and corporate social responsibility; the environmental, health and safety audit is today a major component of an organization. Organizations that need visibility and are desirous of earning a good name should make the environmental, health and safety management and audit a part of their culture.
The practice of companies auditing their environmental, health and safety (EHS) began in the 1970's, almost contemporaneously with the enactment of OSHA. Around that time, the environmental issue was gaining ground in the corporate circles of the West with the governments and other agencies pitching in with their efforts to create greater awareness of the impact of business activities on the environment. As a result, the thinking that the top management of an organization needs to be viewing this issue more seriously started to develop and got ingrained over the years.
Cannot be glossed over
As a result of various legislations on the issue of environmental safety; the role of the Board of Governors became central in ensuring this aspect of the business. Environmental health and safety was no longer something that needed to be administered superficially, but in formal and designated ways, more specifically in the form of an audit. In order to incentivize corporate entities to implement environmental health and safety (EHS) management and audit; the trend started moving towards making these activities carry value addition to the organization.
Environmental health and safety management and audit is now a more formalized activity that needs to be carried out in a proper, set and well-defined manner. The processes that go into the EHS management and audit are clearly laid out in the form of standards such as the ISO 14001 standard, which is essentially an Environmental Management System (EMS) audit. To strengthen and enrich the audit activity and round it better; a few related and parallel standards such as the relevant parts of the 9000 family of standards, which deals with quality management, and 18000 series audits can be carried out with ease to supplement the environmental, health and safety audit.
Role of environmental health and safety (EHS) management and audit
Environmental health and safety (EHS) management and audit have now evolved into being a practice that is coupled with and fused into many business-related activities. The practice now is to make an environmental health and safety management and audit an inseparable part of the Quality Management System. Environmental health and safety (EHS) management and audit audits are now a sure means to ensure that the organization has a reputation for corporate social responsibility by implementing this audit.

I have figured a solution to every problem we have. The country has been run by men for far too long. I am under the impression that if women had been running this country all this time the national debt would be no more, war would cease to exist, and everyone everywhere would be better dressed if not better fed. I should preface this with the statement that I do not hate men, I am married to the pick of the litter and no I have no intentions of running for office. I am just a wife and mother living in Nowhere, USA who has a big mouth and a few ideals of her own she would like to share.
Those of you who are married will be able to commiserate with these truths that I hold self evident. Women, mothers especially are the only ones on the planet who can find things. We are the only ones who can switch gears fast enough to discipline a child and take care of a dead pet all while holding a party in the house. We are the only ones who can talk on the phone while moving which is to say that while on the phone we prepare meals, do laundry, and check homework all while holding a conversation. We plan the parties, we supply food, we make the calls, we run the errands, we run the mom's taxi service, we accomplish this and manage to do it all without a man at home to hold our hand and instruct us on what to do. I do not discredit men who go to work and provide for their families. I thank them. God bless them. Without them I would not be able to stay home and raise my children. However, there are plenty of women in the military and plenty of them involved in politics who are willing and able to make a change.
Who in your home is the one who finds things? The mother. Who should go looking for the bad guys? The women. By all means take the men with you let them do the killing and the blowing of stuff up. But if you want something found from a person to a pair of clean socks you don't send a man in to do the job. You send the mom. If I want a jar of jelly opened I don't ask my daughter to open it I ask my husband. But if I want my brown jacket that is hanging on my side of the closet all the way to the right. I don't send my husband, he will never find it. I send my daughter. If she doesn't find it she will bring every other option and check the laundry till she comes down and says "ok the one you want is in the wash which one do you want?" A man would have come down with a green jacket and claimed I didn't own a brown one. Why are we in debt? We make money every day right? Make some more! Honestly if you run out of underwear you don't just stop wearing it you buy some more. Goodness I realize this is the ramblings of someone who doesn't watch the news and doesn't get the paper. (Why would I read about or watch the things I cannot change when there are so many more entertaining books to read.) I have better things to do. I can't change the programming any more than I can get all men everywhere to figure out which day is trash day and get it to the curb on time, every time. Nor can I get them to get the laundry to drop into the basket instead of just outside it. But really? Does everything have to be that difficult? Life really wasn't meant to be so counterproductive. If you don't have money for new weapons then quit ordering more. If a woman doesn't have money for all the groceries she needs, she doesn't go spend what she does have on her hair. She figures out ways to spread it out and make enough food to feed a family and wears a hat.
You don't hire a plumber to do your electrical work. You don't have the UPS guy pick up your trash. You don't have the guy who trims the trees also trim your hair. You get the right person for the job. You get the person who will get the job done quickly and efficiently and lets face it, for most jobs you need a woman to get it done. How many women make honey do lists only to check off the list themselves. Men are busy. Men work hard for a living to provide the very food you prepare for your families. I get it. But a woman works all day from sun up to sun down cleaning the clothes that they wear, preparing the food that they eat, finding the socks, cleaning the house that they live in. You don't send a woman in to do jobs that they are unable to do. I am unable and unqualified to do welding, chop down a tree, fight forest fires, I also can not walk away from perfectly good ice cream either but I digress. I'm just saying ladies I believe it's up to us. Behind every great man is an even greater woman. Everyone knows who wore the pants in the Clinton administration and it obviously wasn't Bill. Perhaps next time when the need arises we shouldn't send men who will drive around for hours lost because they won't ask for directions. Men who won't find them or if they do will not close the deal. Women are the deal closers.
Disagree, dislike, be disgruntled if you choose to be. This is just my opinion. My husband disagrees he believes in fact that men are the ones who have made this country great. Men have fought for our freedoms, men protect us every day. I don't disagree. But even Abraham Lincoln gave his mother credit for making him the man he is. Let's just remember the wives, daughters, sisters, aunts, grandmothers, and nieces along with them.

Cloverlanes in Livonia on Schoolcraft Road has been razed, and I apologize I was a bit late to the demolition party.
I wanted to be sure to get some photos of the signs before they come down.
The bowling alley was opened in 1962 and closed in spring of 2015, according to local newspapers.
Here is one of the pin setters in the debris.

Follow us as we go to Biyem-Assi, a popular neighborhood in Yaoundé, Cameroon's political capital. Here with us today is Yves Roland Ndoung, a student working towards a Masters in Health and Environmental Communication at ASMAC (ESSTIC).
We found this amazing amateur photographer on Instagram about two years ago. He loves travel, nature and new technologies. Check his account out HERE.
Yves Roland's top spots in Yaoundé:
- Les délices du gourmet. This restaurant is near the Bastos junction, about 50m on the opposite side of the Bastos pharmacy.
- Mask Bar in Bastos. It's located 20m from the "laboratory meka" entrance. Any taxi driver will know exactly where to take you so rest easy. I come here when I'm looking for a cosmopolitan vibe. I love their cocktails and music.
- St-Tropez. This urban eatery has amazing cuisine at affordable prices. The manager is friendly and the service is good. It's located in Bastos, 5m from the orange entrance.
- Le Carroussel. I come here for the typical Cameroonian cabaret ambience. They lots of local music. You'll find this spot in descente Nkondengui in the Nkondengui neighbourhood.
- The Yao Ba. This restaurant has an excellent cabaret and I love their orchestra. The service is good and the atmosphere is great. The Yao ba is located in Nlongkak, a stone throw away from the Cameroonian WHO office entrance.
Enjoy your stay in Yaoundé!
