Norman Joseph Woodland (también conocido como N. Joseph Woodland y NJ Woodland, 6 de septiembre 1921 - 9 de diciembre 2012) fue reconocido por ser uno de los inventores del código de barras, por el cual recibió la patente de EE.UU. Número 2.612.994 en octubre de 1952

Biografía

Woodland nació en Atlantic City, Nueva Jersey el 6 de septiembre de 1921 de padres judíos,y fue el mayor  dos hijos.
Después de graduarse de la Atlantic City High School, Woodland obtuvo su licenciatura en Ciencias en Ingeniería Mecánica (BSME) de la Universidad de Drexel (entonces llamada Drexel Institute of Technology) en 1947. Durante su servicio militar en la Segunda Guerra Mundial, Woodland trabajó como asistente técnico en el Proyecto Manhattan en Oak Ridge, Tennessee. De 1948 a 1949, trabajó como profesor de ingeniería mecánica en Drexel.

En 1948, Bernard Silver, un compañero de Woodland del Instituto de Tecnología de Drexel y estudiante graduado, escuchó a un ejecutivo de supermercados pidiendo el decano de los estudiantes a encontrar la manera de capturar la información del producto automáticamente al momento de pagar. El decano rechazó la solicitud, pero Silver llegó a mencionar el problema a Woodland. Luego de trabajar en algunas ideas preliminares, Woodland estaba convencido de que podrían crear un producto viable.

Woodland tomó algunas ganancias bursátiles, renunció a su empleo como profesor y se mudó al apartamento de su abuelo en Florida. Mientras estaba en la playa, Woodland examinó de nuevo el problema, recordando que los puntos y rayas del código Morse se utiliza para enviar información por vía electrónica, comenzó a dibujar puntos y rayas en la arena similar a las formas utilizadas en el código Morse. Después de tirar de ellos hacia abajo con los dedos, produciendo líneas finas resultantes de los puntos y las líneas gruesas de los guiones, se le ocurrió la idea de un código Morse lineal de dos dimensiones, y después de compartir su idea con Silver y adaptar la tecnología de las bandas sonoras de las películas, solicitaron una patente el 20 de octubre de 1949, y recibieron la patente de EE.UU. 2.612.994 ("Clasificación de Aparato y Método") el 7 de octubre de 1952,   abarcando diseños de impresión diana tanto lineales y circulares.

Woodland fue contratado por IBM en 1951, y aunque Woodland y Silver querían a IBM para el desarrollo de su tecnología, no fue comercialmente viable, por lo que vendieron la patente a Philco en 1952 por 15.000 dólares, la cual a su vez fue vendida a RCA más tarde en 1952. RCA pasó a tratar de desarrollar aplicaciones comerciales a través de la década de 1960 hasta que la patente expiró en 1969.

Después RCA logró  que la Asociación Nacional de Cadenas de comida se interesara en la idea, en 1969, y formaron el  Comité Especial de supermercado de EE.UU.encargado de las tienda de comestibles con un Código Uniforme por Producto, su rival IBM se involucró en 1971, al averiguar acerca de la obra de Woodland lo trasladaron a sus instalaciones en Carolina del Norte, donde jugó un papel clave en el desarrollo de la versión más importante de esta tecnología, el Código universal de Producto (UPC), superando a RCA en una competencia.

El primer elemento escaneado fue  un paquete de goma de mascar en un supermercado de Ohio en 1974.

Muerte
Woodland murió a causa de los efectos de la enfermedad de Alzheimer  el 9 de diciembre de 2012 en Edgewater, Nueva Jersey.

Premios

 En 1973, IBM le otorgó a Woodland su Premio a Contribución Sobresaliente.
 En 1992 fue galardonado con la Medalla Nacional de Tecnología del presidente George W Bush, por su contribución a la tecnología del código de barras.
 En 1998 Woodland recibió un título honorario de su alma mater, la Universidad de Drexel.
 En 2011 Woodland  fue incluido en los Inventores Nacionales del Salón de la Fama.

The co-founder of Binance talks regulation, global growth of crypto markets, and the firm's search for a physical headquarters
Isabelle Lee
4 November 2021, 9:13 am ·3-min read
Binance co-founder and CMO Yi He Binance
Binance is the largest crypto exchange in the world, transacting more than $2 billion in average daily trading volume.
At the helm of growing its business, marketing, and branding strategy is Yi He, co-founder and CMO.
He shared with Insider her stance on crypto regulation, meme coins, women in leadership, and remote work.
Sign up here for our daily newsletter, 10 Things Before the Opening Bell.
Binance, the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the world, is a big operation, doing business in around 180 countries and transacting more than $2 billion in average daily trading volume.
At the helm of growing the business further, is Yi He, Binance's co-founder and CMO, and the right-hand woman of CEO Changpeng Zhao.
In an interview with Insider, He shared her stance on the evolving regulatory landscape, the role of the internet in crypto growth, the rise of meme coins, and the importance of having women in leadership roles.
On regulation and the search for a physical HQ
Binance, founded in 2017, has been under intense scrutiny from global regulators this year. This had led to dozens of jurisdictions issuing bans and warnings against the exchange.
Among the main concern is Binance's lack of a physical headquarters, which its CEO in September finally admitted that it needed in order to do business within the boundaries set by global regulators. Binance, since its founding, has allowed employees to work remotely, a style she described as "futuristic."
"Maybe we are years ahead of the time," she told Insider. "Now everyone is working from home."
She said Binance has a shortlist of five countries, with some in Europe, but declined to comment further on specifics. She did say it would all boil down to which regions have crypto-specific legislations. But contrary to what others may think, He said she is happy that regulatory officials are clamping down on the digital asset space. It means the industry is maturing, she said.
"We have been setting up self-regulation," she said. "We have been having strict internal policies, such as no insider trading, and have been protecting users from scammers. We are fighting this."
On crypto growth
When it comes to crypto demand, He said countries with advanced internet infrastructure are where they see the biggest demand as well. "Internet helps crypto," she said.
That aside, countries that have seen their fiat currencies tumble in value, such as those in Africa, have seen a corresponding spike in crypto demand, she added.
On meme coins
As for dogecoin, shiba inu, squid, and other meme coins that have been in the spotlight, He said it's all about FOMO, and urged investors to proceed with caution.
"These began for fun," she told Insider. "I don't think it's a long-term situation."
As for her own holdings, He said she only holds binance coin, the crypto issued by the exchange. She did have bitcoin and ether a few years back, but gradually sold them, she said.
On women leaders
The wider industry is known for being male-dominated, but Binance, He said, stands out. Its managerial team comprises at least 35% women, an initiative she has proudly spearheaded.
He, who recalled hopping on a work call a day after she gave birth, said women have to work harder to prove they deserve their place at the table. But companies, she said, should respect the different strengths women offer, especially those who are mothers.
"Women don't believe they can deliver the target but they can," she said.
On leadership challenges
It has to be the nature of remote work, she said, which makes it difficult to build a company's culture. He noted she tries her best by scheduling one-on-one calls with her colleagues and teammates to establish connections.

Anglo American posts flat Q4 overall output, sees higher copper in 2022
LONDON (Reuters) -Global miner Anglo American said on Thursday its overall production for the fourth quarter was flat as a strong diamonds performance countered a 4% fall in copper, for which it expects higher output this year. After producing 647,200 tonnes of copper in 2021, in line with the previous year, the London listed miner now expects between 680,000 and 760,000 tonnes for this year, driven by its new Quellaveco copper mine in Peru. However, it warned about possible COVID-related disruptions and water shortages in Chile, where it mines the bulk of its copper.

New technology can be activated by the pilots, government agencies, even on-board sensors; not even a tortured pilot can give up control; dedicated electrical circuits ensure the system's total independence.
Although airplane cockpit door locks are now standard, worries remain about terrorists taking control of a plane a la 9/11, perhaps by extorting the pilots into opening the door against their better judgement.
Boeing's is, of course, not the first autopilot technology in existence, but this one has been designed with counterterrorism first and foremost in mind. Not only is it "uninterruptible" — so that even a tortured pilot cannot turn it off — but it can be activated remotely via radio or satellite by government agencies. The system might even include senors on the cockpit door that activate the autopilot of a certain amount of force is used against it.
"There is a need for a technique that ensures the continuation of the desired path of travel of a vehicle by removing any type of human decision process that may be influenced by the circumstances of the situation, including threats or further violence onboard the vehicle," the patent application explains. To make it fully independent, the system also has its own power supply, independent of the aircraft's circuit breakers.

The cost of Brexit – £200 bn in 'collateral damage' and counting
13th January 2020 / United Kingdom
Brexit has now cost the UK £130bn in what is termed as "collateral damage" since the referendum, a new study suggests. And this number is set to rise another £70bn by the end of 2020.
Bloomberg Economics said Britain's economy had been "lacklustre" over the three-and-a-half years since a majority of voters backed Leave in the EU referendum in 2016.
Its analysis shows British companies performed poorly, even accounting for the weaker global economy by international standards
It predicted Brexit would continue to hold back national output, forecasting a further £70bn hit in lost opportunities for growth this year.
"Even the boost BE expects from prime minister Boris Johnson's decisive election victory in December won't stop a further £70bn being added this year," wrote its chief UK economist and former Treasury official Dan Hanson.
SafeSubcribe/Instant Unsubscribe - One Email, Every Sunday Morning - So You Miss Nothing - That's It
The Conservatives' landslide victory in December broke the long-running political deadlock at Westminster, paving the way for Britain's departure on 31 January.
But while Johnson's Brexit withdrawal bill attempts to tackle key issues linked to Britain's departure, official talks over the future of EU-UK trade and wider relations have not even begun. Although the British government have stated that the EU deal will be done by 31st December 2020, EU officials do not agree stating that it could take years.
Mark Carney, the governor of the Bank of England, warned in a speech on Thursday of the risk "uncertainties over future trading relationships could remain entrenched."
He said such uncertainty had already proved a "persistent drag" already on the UK economy, slowing growth below its potential, particularly through reduced business investment. Inward investment into Britain has all but collapsed since 2016.
"Brexit-related uncertainties may have dissuaded companies from expanding supply capacity or entering new markets"
Carney, who leaves his role in March, said growth had "significantly underperformed" the central bank's predictions prior to the referendum.
He said GDP was 3% lower than might have been expected if Britain had voted to stay, taking into account how the rest of the world's economies had performed since June 2016.
Uncertainty has dented business investment and innovation, hitting firms' capacity to grow, according to Carney.
Many firms and investors fear Brexit will mean new barriers to trade with EU partners. Contingency planning has also drained firms of "considerable time and resources," Carney said.
Investment has significantly fallen in four of the past seven quarters, with growth more than 20% less than forecast by the bank before the referendum in May 2016. Household spending has also fallen in the past year adding to economic woes.
He added: "Brexit-related uncertainties may have dissuaded companies from expanding supply capacity or entering new markets."
But the survey of business leaders, conducted by accountancy giant Deloitte, saw 38% say they planned to increase investment in 2020. That marked the highest proportion in four years, while Brexit also dropped from the top to third on a list of their greatest concerns.

The government says it will pursue the provision of eight million U.S. dollars in aid to North Korea via UN organizations in a timely manner, after taking into account various conditions.
The Unification Ministry's deputy spokesperson, Lee Eugene, told reporters on Friday that the government is currently consulting with international organizations on the matter.
Lee's remark came a day after the Voice of America reported that the U.S. believes the provision of the aid could disrupt denuclearization efforts.
The report quoted a U.S. State Department official as saying that "any premature relief in economic or diplomatic pressure would diminish the chances" of achieving the goal of Pyongyang's denuclearization.
The official was commenting on the possibility that South Korea's donation of the eight million dollar aid package could gain speed with the UN Security Council adopting guidelines on expediting the delivery of humanitarian aid to North Korea.
Lee reiterated Seoul's stance that it will decide on issues related to inter-Korean exchanges and cooperation in line with progress in denuclearization.
Last September, Seoul pledged eight million dollars to the World Food Programme and UNICEF's projects supporting North Korean infants and expectant mothers, but plans were halted amid Pyongyang's continued nuclear and missile provocations.


When CBC News Investigative team aired a two-part series about tax avoidance, they used the result of an undercover operation. They used an "anonymous investor" to find out what kind of advice was out there for people who wanted to avoid taxes. The test was to see how close to the legal line, or over, the advice might be. The complainant, Rod Morris, felt that the use of hidden cameras to approach a tax advisor was a violation of policy. The policy talks about prior knowledge of illegal activity, breach of trust or anti-social behavior as some of the criteria for using a hidden camera. In this case, he pointed out, the team had no reason to believe the advisor in question was doing anything illegal. You can't make the policy fit any situation. The use of hidden camera to test the practices of a service or industry that is under scrutiny and which research indicates is open to abuse, is a time honored and acceptable practice. I find this broadcast followed policy. But CBC News management might want to add some language to the policy that covers this very situation more explicitly.
Last October, CBC News The National ran a two-part series on the ways Canadian companies and individuals seek to avoid paying taxes in Canada by moving money offshore. You considered the use of a hidden camera interview of a Toronto tax lawyer featured in the October 7 broadcast to be unfair to the individual.
The broadcast was centred on a private investigator who is also a restaurant owner. Working with CBC News, he approached various tax advisors in Canada and Barbados to test what kind of advice he would be given to avoid paying taxes on money earned in Canada. Canadian companies legitimately set up operations in Barbados to avoid higher tax rates on profits earned outside of Canada. The premise being tested in this story was that the same system was being used to avoid Canadian tax rates on profits made in Canada.
"One of the featured tax lawyers is guilty by association. He commits the crimes of hubris, lack of judgment and recommending a legitimate tax avoidance tool with an irresistible TV soundbite. The self-proclaimed devious Mr. Garbutt is the best piece of theatre in the whole televised investigation. Unfortunately he isn't the random, secretive, law breaking tax counselor the revised hidden camera ethics policy and the investigative feature advertises.
Overall, you thought CBC News failed to meet its own standards and is arbitrary in the way it interprets the policy; the reporters and producers took existing policy and refashioned it to suit their own interests.
He also explained that each of the people recorded by a hidden camera was given the opportunity to comment on what they had said. In the case of the tax lawyer you cite in your complaint, he pointed out the lawyer stood by his secretly recorded comments, but he regretted using the term "under-handed" in the discussion. Mr. Harrison added that "dubious or contestable financial advice intended to help wealthy citizens avoid paying taxes" meets the criterion of anti-social behavior, as laid out in CBC's Journalistic Standards and Practices.
CBC's policy for hidden-camera journalism generally requires that we have credible information about wrongdoing before we film… However, when dealing with a secretive industry like this one when the industry as a whole has come under critical scrutiny, the practise is to permit testing in this way on a random basis.
Mr. Harrison said he disagreed that this was an unethical thing to do, and it was in fact a long- standing practice when investigating possible systemic problems in a given industry. He explained in stories like this one there is not an investigation of wrong doing by a particular individual, but it is an attempt to verify allegations of questionable practices in an industry by probing the practices of "random" individuals.
It was written this way not to give license to journalists to do anything they please, but to highlight that the process is different and, as you point out, to emphasize a high burden of proof. To further emphasize that all CBC policies and core values apply, all the other policies under the Investigative Journalism heading are an aggregation of policies that apply to all journalistic endeavours.
In the interests of full disclosure, I was one of the people involved in the creation of this latest iteration of CBC Journalistic Standards and Practices. Most of the policies were rewrites of ones predating my involvement with it, and were not substantially altered in principle or approach. The current edition was also reviewed by outside experts and judged to be on a par with or best in class of journalistic codes. It was also approved by CBC's Board of Directors.
Policies cannot be written with every contingency in mind. They are written based on a set of principles and provide some guidelines and criteria to follow. As in most ethical decision making, there are always competing values at stake, so it is impossible to anticipate every story or situation. For higher stakes activities, like clandestine recordings, there are some safeguards. Before any clandestine footage is aired, it must be approved at a senior management level. In this case the approval came from David Studer, the Director of Journalism Standards and Practices. He told me he was involved with the project from the outset, before any recording was done, and there was careful scrutiny and much discussion every step of the way. In this respect, and in respect to the requirement to give the subject of a hidden camera interview the right to respond, the policy was followed.
You believe that there was violation of the policy because there was no specific knowledge of wrongdoing or illegal activity when CBC's anonymous investor approached the Toronto lawyer featured in the piece. As noted in the "Unique Features of Investigative Journalism" the approach was not made until extensive research about the practices of the industry had been undertaken. There was credible information that such practices did occur and it seems a reasonable argument it would be harder to find out about it by doing straightforward interviews. CBC had had access to a large volume of documents indicating questionable offshore activities. It is unfortunate that one of the experts used in the piece, the former employee of the Canada Revenue Agency, was not identified. However he also brought insider knowledge to this ambiguous world.
The policy of fairness and the criterion of clandestine recording were observed.
What is tax avoidance? How does it differ from tax planning and aggressive tax planning?
Tax avoidance and tax planning both involve tax reduction arrangements that may meet the specific wording of the relevant legislation. Effective tax planning occurs when the results of these arrangements are consistent with the intent of the law. When tax planning reduces taxes in a way that is inconsistent with the overall spirit of the law, the arrangements are referred to as tax avoidance. The Canada Revenue Agency's interpretation of the term "tax avoidance" includes all unacceptable and abusive tax planning. Aggressive tax planning refers to arrangements that "push the limits" of acceptable tax planning.
Tax avoidance occurs when a person undertakes transactions that contravene specific anti-avoidance provisions. Tax avoidance also includes situations where a person reduces or eliminates tax through a transaction or a series of transactions that comply with the letter of the law but violate the spirit and intent of the law. It was to address these latter situations that the general anti-avoidance rule was enacted in 1988.
As for the cost, the International Monetary Fund, in a report on the issue of tax avoidance and tax evasion, cites a study which estimates that about "6 percent of the global net financial wealth of households—about $4.5 trillion—is unrecorded and located in tax havens (Zucman, 2013)." The OECD also published an extensive report on the issue in 2013, and it has been on the agenda of several G20 meetings. Whether one approves of the practice or not, there is no doubt there are societal impacts.
The CBC News teams involved in the production of these stories did extensive research, and provided insight about practices in an industry that has come under international scrutiny because of its impact on economies. While the policy on hidden cameras does not address the situation of this wider approach, the specific policy and the Journalistic Standards and Practices as a whole provide enough principles and criteria that guided the tax evasion investigation. You raise a valid point that the policy is silent for this type of investigation. Since CBC News does undertake them fairly often, management might want to add at least some reference and criteria that would address situations where a particular service or industry practice is the subject of investigation.

Home>Talent Acquisition Trends>Mystery of the First U.S. Headhunter: A Surprising Answer!
Mystery of the First U.S. Headhunter: A Surprising Answer!
Last Friday, we mused about the origins of the first U.S. headhunter. Our premise?
Everyone knows that employment agencies as an industry really started sometime after World War 2, but that in the early days, agencies were very different than today: fees were actually paid by candidates.
We went on to write that most people agree that recruitment agencies started to emerge in the 1970's. During this period, fees began to shift to the employer. Direct hire agencies, or those that get paid only if their candidate is hired, started to develop as a force around the same time. Our big, bold question was, "Does anyone know who the first U.S. headhunter (direct hire agency) actually was?"
We got a lot of incredible and interesting responses. Perhaps surprising is a better word. Surprising in some ways that were…well, uh surprising. Here's what we mean.
The Responses – Who Was the First U.S. Headhunter?
The biggest surprise? How young this industry really is. The majority of comments we got expressed shock that direct hire agencies were such a recent development. Many people feel that whatever happened in the 1970s is ancient history, and our "stories from old timers" were mostly from people who started recruiting in the 90s.
Although none of these comments directly answer the question, "who was the first U.S. headhunter?"; we thought they surely painted the picture of how agency recruiting has changed in just the past few years.
The best response…
Although we got mostly serious answers, we also got a few jokes…
What Betsi had to say,
"I started recruiting 30 years ago, and a 20% contingent fee has always been the norm. However, the process is very different from what it was. Email didn't exist.
There was no easy way to get resumes to employers quickly, so we'd simply describe candidates over the phone to get an interview, then send the candidates with resume in hand."
Craig's response was this,
"I started in 2000, when email was big, but technologies like ATS's didn't yet exist. We found candidates by looking up names in paper industry directories and making call after call.
The game was much less regulated then: a real free for all. You just had to expect that someone would steal your job order and candidates relatively often."
Interestingly, by the time Betsi got intoto the business (right around 1984), the concept of a 20% employer paid contingent fee was already well established. Thus far, however, no luck at finding our Waldo. In addition to Betsi and Craig, we had a slew of people say they "had heard" that it was Robert Half.
A number of our own BountyJobs team – many of whom are recruiters – had thought the same thing. Some of the responses from our marketplace:
"I started my recruiting career at Robert Half International ("RHI"), and I could have sworn that I was explicitly told by RHI that they were the first agency."
"The first agency to do it on any scale was Robert Half. I'm not sure when they started but I'm thinking sometime in the 1950's?"
"I worked at Robert Half before starting my own agency. It's gotta be Robert Half. Dude was way old. I think he was the name before a company bought him out…"
Another veteran headhunter, Arthur Pann had this to say on LinkedIn,
"Back in the 1980's as President of the Institute Of Management Accountants Westchester/Gateway as I placed accountants as a Head Hunter I had the honor of twice introducing Robert Half to speak to our group.
Mr. Half was the most sharing, non pretentious person I had ever met in the recruiting industry. If I am not mistaken Robert Half started his business back in the late 1940's.
He was truly a pioneer in the recruiting industry. So my vote would be Mr. Robert Half a visionary and a gentle man."
Guess what? It actually could be Robert Half. A great firm with a storied history. Their website mentions that they "pioneered the concept of professional staffing services" in 1948, and an obituary of the man himself, mentions that the firm he founded along with his wife in New York, "was one of the first agencies to offer specialized services."
The problem? No actual evidence backing up the story, and no actual evidence of what we're really looking for: the first U.S. headhunter. Which is the first agency to make employer paid, contingent fees, a major part of their model?
So, all that in other words – we're still looking. Have a story about it?Have a guess about who really was the first U.S. headhunter? Let us know!

L.A. will feel pain of strike
4:00 AM PST 11/21/2007 by Paul Bond , AP
STRIKE ZONE: LATEST NEWS AND UPDATES
If the writers strike persists through the end of the month, it could suck $200 million from the entertainment industry's contribution to the Los Angeles economy, one expert predicts.
Jack Kyser, chief economist for the Los Angeles Economic Development Corp., said more informed data will come with the November release of state employment figures, due Dec. 21, but using the 1988 WGA strike as a guide, fallout is expected to be significant. Plus, a full economic recovery could take months.
In March 1988, the entertainment industry employed 80,000 people. A month later, about 9,000 writers nationwide hit the picket line and 6,000 additional industry workers, though nonwriters, in L.A. were quickly thrown out of work because of the strike.
Entertainment-industry employment in L.A. then dropped to a low of 57,000 in July and snapped back in August to 68,000 as the strike ended and television production scrambled to get back on track. But, three months later, the industry was still 1,000 employees short of where it was before the strike, Kyser said.
Today, entertainment is the third-largest industry in Los Angeles, behind international trade and tourism, and employs 254,300 people, Kyser said.
If the strike continues for five months, as it did 19 years ago, and similar employment patterns emerge, more than 73,200 people working in entertainment could find themselves jobless, though fewer than 8,000 of them would be striking writers. In the first month alone -- again using history as a guide -- up to 60,500 writers and nonwriters could be out of work.
Such figures do not take into account collateral damage to industries that do business with entertainment, such as truck rental, hotels, security guards, restaurants and portable toilets.
Even real estate, already an economic trouble spot, could take a hit due to strikers. During the 1988 strike, high-end homes on the west side of Los Angeles suddenly weren't selling as well as they had been, Kyser said.
"If the strike is settled Monday, it will have been an annoyance. If it lasts five months, it will mean real pain," he said.
The comparison to 1988, of course, isn't perfect. For one thing, the L.A. Economic Development Corp. wasn't around to adjust official state data back then, so independent contractors, freelancers and the like weren't counted.
So using unadjusted state numbers this time, as well, there were 138,800 entertainment industry employees in L.A. at the end of October. If 23.8% are knocked out of work in the first month, as was the case 19 years ago, up to 33,000 people, including the 8,000 strikers, would be temporarily jobless. If the strike lasts for five months and 28.8% of the industry's L.A. employees are rendered jobless, like 19 years ago, up to 39,000 people would be out of work.
According to Kyser, the entertainment industry -- when humming along with no strike to contend with -- contributes $80 million per day to the L.A. economy, or nearly $30 billion per year. Each $70-million film creates 928 jobs, 697 of which are indirectly tied to the production.
The nonprofit group FilmL.A. said there were 9,281 on-location productions in L.A. during the third quarter, with 1,897 of them being for feature films, 1,434 for commercials and 5,950 for TV shows.
Collateral damage has already been rough, said Mark Deo, executive director of the Small Business Advisory Network. He said more than 100 businesses have contacted his firm for advice on navigating the strike.
Examples include: a battery manufacturer that has seen 30% of its business fall off and has already laid off some of its 20 employees; a caterer for "Ugly Betty," "24" and "Mad TV" that has lost nearly all its business; a wardrobe cleaning business, whose staff of a half dozen people are out of work.
"I don't blame writers or studios, but if this continues, the pain will be massive," Deo said. "Fifty% of the country's gross domestic product comes from businesses with less than 100 employees, and they don't have a writers guild speaking on their behalf."
Other recent strike-related layoffs include about 30 people at Santa Clarita Studios, according to insiders.

Q: Using libraries without NPM install with React I would like to use brain.js library in my project, but unfornately it is impossible to install brain.js with NPM at now.
On a simple website without React it is easy to import brain.js with <script src="//unpkg.com/brain.js"></script>  tags . After that I can simply init a new instance with const network = new brain.NeuralNetwork();
But with React I cannot manage to import it now as I wrote and I want to find a solution for that.
I tried this method, but did not work :
In AIsource ( AIsource.js ) component :
export default function AIsource() {
  return (
    I COPIED HERE THE CONTENT OF CDN JAVASCRIPT FILE
  )
}

In Simple ( Simple.js ) component :
import AIsource from './AIsource'
export default function Simple() {
      return (
        const network = new brain.NeuralNetwork();
      )
}

But I get an error : brain is not defined. So I think the importing did not worked.

Forested hiking trails follow the picturesque Pike Creek as it meanders through the park on its way to the Mississippi River. Visitors can rent a canoe or kayak from the park to explore this creek and river. In addition to this main area of the park, the Little Elk unit lies 3.5 miles north where the Elk River joins the Mississippi. This unit was added in 2003 and is rich in archeological resources. Visitors can enjoy hiking a roughly 1.5-mile loop trail.
The park was established in 1931, when 110 acres were donated to the state by the famous aviator, who at the time was considered a national hero for being the first to make a nonstop solo flight across the Atlantic Ocean. Later, however, he espoused horrendous, white supremacist beliefs and associated with leaders of the Nazi party. Some of this history is on display at the nearby museum and former home of Lindbergh, which is operated by the Minnesota Historical Society.

VALUE: $197,650 (at time of purchase)
Notched into a prime area for Charles A. Lindbergh State Park is a property that has been part of the Smuda family story for three generations, starting in the early 1900s. It occupies a critical place at the mouth of Pike Creek–a major water feature in the park. The creek widens and meanders here, blending into wetlands before passing under a bridge along Highway 52 and draining into the Mississippi River.
In 1999, the Smuda property was officially designated within the park's statutory boundary, meaning it could be purchased if the owner wanted to sell. But, at that time it was still serving as the home for Alvina Smuda, and would continue as such for another 21 years. Finally, in 2020 the former park manager, Ron Jones, upon learning that Smuda was contemplating moving, enlisted P&TC's assistance.
"This property is the most critical natural resource-based inholding remaining in the statutory park boundaries," he explained. On Sept. 9, 2020 P&TC finalized the sale and plans to hold the land in trust while the MnDNR secures the necessary funding.
The modest house, situated along Highway 52 is surrounded by mown lawn to the north, which comes to an abrupt edge against the park's forest. Behind the house, a collection of old sheds and barns dot the landscape and a foot bridge crosses the creek, whose shoreline and wetlands sprawl out in a relatively natural state. All these buildings will eventually be removed once the park takes ownership and begins to restore the entire property to a natural condition. The foot bridge will likely be brought up to accessibility standards and integrated into the park trail system.
Smuda, 87, now lives in the nearby town of Little Falls and says she is happy the land will become part of the park. "I can go visit and maybe start another zoo," she joked.
The county had previously purchased a small parcel from Smuda where they've built a public boat launch. Boats can be launched into the creek and pass under the highway bridge into the Mississippi River. A water trail on the Mississippi promotes canoeists and kayakers to paddle up the creek to a campsite in the park. According to Park Supervisor Barry Osborne, the landscape around the mouth of the creek offer interesting elevations and with this addition, park trails could be moved closer in toward the creek to offer nice views.
Saving an archaeological treasure
Project Years: 2001 - 2004
LOCATION: Little Elk Unit
VALUE: $625,000 (in 2004)
We had to act quickly when we learned that the Institute for Minnesota Archeology (IMA), an organization that had worked for 16 years to develop the Little Elk Heritage Preserve, an area rich in archeaological resources dating back thousands of years, was having financial trouble and about to lose this important place.
The Preserve was located about 3.5 miles north of Charles A. Lindbergh State Park. After lengthy planning and facilitation by P&TC, it was officially added to the park.
Today, the area contains a couple miles of looped hiking trail that allow visitors to see and learn about such archaeological sites as a 1700s French fur-trading post, an 1800s Ojibwe Mission and a settlement called Elk City to name a few.
Saving an old oak forest
Project Acres: 2
This 2-acre parcel of oak woodlands was offered as a donation by the landowners to the MnDNR. However, it couldn't be accepted until park boundaries were legislatively expanded. The MnDNR approached Parks & Trails Council for help in acquiring and holding the land while the legislative process was completed, which happened two years later.

Free-Air Gravity Map of Taiwan and Its Applications
Author(s): Horng-Yuan Yen, Yih-Hsiung Yeh, Cheng-Horng Lin, Guey-Kuen Yu, and Yi-Ben Tsai
DOI: 10.3319/TAO.1990.1.2.143(T)
Citation: Yen, H.-Y., Y.-H. Yeh, C.-H. Lin, G.-K. Yu, and Y.-B. Tsai, 1990: Free-air gravity map of Taiwan and its applications. Terr. Atmos. Ocean. Sci., 1, 143-155, doi: 10.3319/TAO.1990.1.2.143(T)
An island-wide gravity in Taiwan was conducted by the Institute of Earth Sciences, Academia Sinica, between 1980 and 1987. The 603 stations at which the gravity values were determined included 308 points in the 500 m or higher mountain range where few readings were available previously. The average spacing of the stations in the present survey is about 7 km apart. A new Free-air gravity anomaly map has been constructed based on these values. The map is dominated by a NNE-SSW gravity high trend with a maximum value of 300 mgal, that follows closely the Central Range, a folded and faulted mountain belt with many peaks 3000 m or higher. The magnitude of the Free-air anomaly in the Taiwan area is quite large compared to that elsewhere in the world. The good correlation between the Free-air anomaly and elevation suggests that the Taiwan area is not in isostatic equilibrium. An average surface rock density of 2.57 g cm-3 is estimated from the Free-air gravity data by using the least-squares method. This value can be used for both terrain and Bouguer corrections. The undulation of the geoid and the deflections of the vertical in the Taiwan area are also calculated by using the Free-air anomaly data. The geoid undulation is not rugged over the Taiwan area. The maximum difference is about 5 m. And the deflection of the vertical seems mainly to be affected by both land and submarine topographies.
