This dissertation considers three separate applications of the theory of search and matching equilibria. The first chapter considers a partnership formation game, where agents on two sides of a market need to find a partner before a deadline, and search frictions make it difficult to find an acceptable partner. I characterize agents acceptance decisions – those with whom they would be willing to match – show existence, and provide a condition for uniqueness of equilibrium. This study provides a step towards a better understanding of matching behavior in non-stationary environments where agents have persistent type. The second chapter in this dissertation considers the import of adverse selection in a modern model of directed search in labor markets. Competition in this market drives firms to offer contracts that increase over time, limiting turnover. Adverse selection does not perturb contracts for less attractive types, but leads more attractive workers to accept initially low wages that grow faster than they would under full information. The final chapter of this dissertation explores the import of sequential search behavior in a model of equilibrium price setting by multi-product firms. On the one hand, the market produces results which affirm the common empirical focus on marginal distributions of individual goods' prices across firms. On the other, when some firms do not offer every good, search behavior leads to interesting pricing patterns which would not occur in single-product markets.

How Top Brands Are Using Twitter's New Vine App To Stand Out From The Social Video Crowd
Unruly Team
Why The Smartest Advertisers Around The Globe Are Flocking To Use The New 6-Second Sharing Sensation.
Vine is the new kid on the social video app block. It's new, easy to use and proving a powerful tool for top brands across the globe.
Owned by Twitter but still retaining its individual identity, Vine is a unique social video offering. In a nutshell, it allows mobile users to create and post six-second social video clips. These videos can then be shared on multiple social media platforms.
The beauty of Vine is its simplicity. Unlike Instagram and other third-party apps, there are no filters, frames and other variations for the creator to use. They simply shoot the video clip and share it.
This all sounds great fun, but what can brands do in six seconds that they can't do with existing longer forms of video content? Well, judging by the sheer number of brands we have so far seen flock to this new platform, it would suggest quite a few have already identified its potential.
Mashable recently reported that more than 100,000 tweets containing the Vine.co shortlink were shared on the second weekend of February 2013. This number will only continue to escalate as more and more people sign up to the service.
So far we've seen top brands, including adidas, General Electrics, Gap and Armani, using Vine as part of their current marketing strategies.
But any brands looking to dive into this latest social video offering should walk before they run. In other words, have a strategy before you leap in with both feet.
Here's 4 ways we've seen global brands using Vine social video effectively:
1. Take Your Customers Behind The Scenes
As every brand knows, customers like to feel valued. Making a customer or potential customer feel special can go a really long way.
Offering a behind-the-scenes look at future content can be a great way to do this. We've already seen this teaser approach to content marketing work really well at tent-pole events like the Super Bowl and Olympics. Brands released 15-second clips of their big game ads across the social web to help generate and elongate brand conversation. Vine is an awesome vehicle for such content. Many brands are adopting this technique, from fashion brands (for examples, see below) to Premier League Football Clubs.
Doritos even went as far as to Vine their packaging re-design launch.
2. Run Product Demos
Vine is already used by a large number of fashion brands. From Armani to ASOS, they are all there sporting the latest season's swag online. The Vine format is a really great place for consumers to be able to see products in a more engaging environment.
We've seen handbag demos, spinning shoes and even full catwalk sessions, all powered by Vine. Where there is an audience, brands can quickly market products in an easily shareable format thanks to Twitter's Vine app.
3. Run Competitions
As witnessed when Pinterest first launched, it didn't take long for brands to start using the platform to run competitions. Vine is no different.
To promote its pet insurance deals, Confused.com ran a competition in the build-up to February 20's 'Love Your Pet Day' urging its consumers to create videos of their pets, with £250 up for grabs for the 'most creative' clip. It was a massive success for the price comparison website, attracting a lot of attention from its target audience.
Top marketing experts are always trying to come up with new ways to drive engagement around their brands, Vine video is a very fast and engaging solution if the competition is well engineered and managed effectively.
4. Encourage Customer Interaction
We've seen similar content curation campaigns on web-based video clients like YouTube before. However, thanks to this powerful new app, it has never been simpler for brands to engage with their customers and help them feel valued by the brand.
Not only does asking consumers to submit their own content help them feel part of the brand campaign, it also gives brands a stream of content that they can use in the current or future campaigns. With this approach, everyone's a winner!
A University in Wisconsin-Madison, along with a fancy bunch of social media supremos used the app to build an 'action video tapestry' by getting users to submit their footage from one of their sports events to a pre-etermined hashtag. This is a great way for brands to get users to share their brand story effectively.
As for the future, we'll just have to see how the numbers pan out. It will be interesting to see how brands use Vine to amplify their brand and engage their audience going forward. We think there is a huge potential to incorporate Vine into current and future video marketing strategies for brands across all industry sectors.
We've also seen some interesting Vine-related apps pop up over the web. Here's a couple of our favourites:
VinePeek
Vine Roulette
Don't forget! You can follow Unruly on Vine. Head over to the app and search for us. We'll be there with some social video insight straight out of the Unruly Social Video Lab, session snippets from City Unrulyveristy and a whole dollop of Unruly culture from the Unruly HQ team.

title: Apache Mesos - Master Options
layout: documentation
---

# Master Options

## Required Flags

        Flag

        Explanation

    --quorum=VALUE

The size of the quorum of replicas when using replicated_log based
registry. It is imperative to set this value to be a majority of
masters i.e., quorum > (number of masters)/2.
NOTE: Not required if master is run in standalone mode (non-HA).

    --work_dir=VALUE

Path of the master work directory. This is where the persistent
information of the cluster will be stored. Note that locations like
/tmp which are cleaned automatically are not suitable for the work
directory when running in production, since long-running masters could
lose data when cleanup occurs. (Example: /var/lib/mesos/master)

    --zk=VALUE

ZooKeeper URL (used for leader election amongst masters).
May be one of:

zk://host1:port1,host2:port2,.../path
zk://username:password@host1:port1,host2:port2,.../path
file:///path/to/file (where file contains one of the above)

NOTE: Not required if master is run in standalone mode (non-HA).

## Optional Flags

        Flag

        Explanation

    --acls=VALUE

The value could be a JSON-formatted string of ACLs
or a file path containing the JSON-formatted ACLs used
for authorization. Path could be of the form file:///path/to/file
or /path/to/file.

Note that if the flag --authorizers is provided with a value
different than local, the ACLs contents will be
ignored.

See the ACLs protobuf in acls.proto for the expected format.

Example:

{
  "register_frameworks": [
    {
      "principals": { "type": "ANY" },
      "roles": { "values": ["a"] }
    }
  ],
  "run_tasks": [
    {
      "principals": { "values": ["a", "b"] },
      "users": { "values": ["c"] }
    }
  ],
  "teardown_frameworks": [
    {
      "principals": { "values": ["a", "b"] },
      "framework_principals": { "values": ["c"] }
    }
  ],
  "set_quotas": [
    {
      "principals": { "values": ["a"] },
      "roles": { "values": ["a", "b"] }
    }
  ],
  "remove_quotas": [
    {
      "principals": { "values": ["a"] },
      "quota_principals": { "values": ["a"] }
    }
  ],
  "get_endpoints": [
    {
      "principals": { "values": ["a"] },
      "paths": { "values": ["/flags"] }
    }
  ]
}

    --agent_ping_timeout=VALUE,

    --slave_ping_timeout=VALUE

The timeout within which an agent is expected to respond to a
ping from the master. Agents that do not respond within
max_agent_ping_timeouts ping retries will be asked to shutdown.
NOTE: The total ping timeout (agent_ping_timeout multiplied by
max_agent_ping_timeouts) should be greater than the ZooKeeper
session timeout to prevent useless re-registration attempts.
(default: 15secs)

    --agent_removal_rate_limit=VALUE

    --slave_removal_rate_limit=VALUE

The maximum rate (e.g., 1/10mins, 2/3hrs, etc) at which agents
will be removed from the master when they fail health checks.
By default, agents will be removed as soon as they fail the health
checks. The value is of the form (Number of agents)/(Duration).

    --agent_reregister_timeout=VALUE

    --slave_reregister_timeout=VALUE

The timeout within which an agent is expected to re-register.
Agents re-register when they become disconnected from the master
or when a new master is elected as the leader. Agents that do not
re-register within the timeout will be marked unreachable in the
registry; if/when the agent re-registers with the master, any
non-partition-aware tasks running on the agent will be terminated.
NOTE: This value has to be at least 10mins. (default: 10mins)

    --allocation_interval=VALUE

Amount of time to wait between performing
(batch) allocations (e.g., 500ms, 1sec, etc). (default: 1secs)

    --allocator=VALUE

Allocator to use for resource allocation to frameworks.
Use the default HierarchicalDRF allocator, or
load an alternate allocator module using --modules.
(default: HierarchicalDRF)

    --[no-]authenticate_agents,

    --[no-]authenticate_slaves

If true only authenticated agents are allowed to register.
If false unauthenticated agents are also allowed to register. (default: false)

    --[no-]authenticate_frameworks,

    --[no-]authenticate

If true, only authenticated frameworks are allowed to register. If
false, unauthenticated frameworks are also allowed to register. For
HTTP based frameworks use the --authenticate_http_frameworks flag. (default: false)

    --[no-]authenticate_http_frameworks

If true, only authenticated HTTP based frameworks are allowed to
register. If false, HTTP frameworks are not authenticated. (default: false)

    --authenticators=VALUE

Authenticator implementation to use when authenticating frameworks
and/or agents. Use the default crammd5, or
load an alternate authenticator module using --modules. (default: crammd5)

    --authorizers=VALUE

Authorizer implementation to use when authorizing actions that
require it.
Use the default local, or
load an alternate authorizer module using --modules.

Note that if the flag --authorizers is provided with a value
different than the default local, the ACLs
passed through the --acls flag will be ignored.

Currently there is no support for multiple authorizers. (default: local)

    --cluster=VALUE

Human readable name for the cluster, displayed in the webui.

    --credentials=VALUE

Path to a JSON-formatted file containing credentials.
Path can be of the form file:///path/to/file or /path/to/file.
Example:

{
  "credentials": [
    {
      "principal": "sherman",
      "secret": "kitesurf"
    }
  ]
}

    --fair_sharing_excluded_resource_names=VALUE

A comma-separated list of the resource names (e.g. 'gpus') that will be excluded
from fair sharing constraints. This may be useful in cases where the fair
sharing implementation currently has limitations. E.g. See the problem of
"scarce" resources:
    msg35631
    MESOS-5377

    --[no_]filter_gpu_resources

When set to true, this flag will cause the mesos master to filter all offers
from agents with GPU resources by only sending them to frameworks that opt into
the 'GPU_RESOURCES' framework capability. When set to false, this flag will
cause the master to not filter offers from agents with GPU resources, and
indiscriminately send them to all frameworks whether they set the
'GPU_RESOURCES' capability or not.  This flag is meant as a temporary workaround
towards the eventual deprecation of the 'GPU_RESOURCES' capability. Please see
the following for more information:
    msg37571
    MESOS-7576

    --framework_sorter=VALUE

Policy to use for allocating resources between a given user's
frameworks. Options are the same as for --user_sorter.
(default: drf)

    --http_framework_authenticators=VALUE

HTTP authenticator implementation to use when authenticating HTTP frameworks.
Use the basic authenticator or load an alternate HTTP authenticator
module using --modules. This must be used in conjunction with
--authenticate_http_frameworks.

Currently there is no support for multiple HTTP authenticators.

    --[no-]log_auto_initialize

Whether to automatically initialize the [replicated log](../replicated-log-internals.md)
used for the registry. If this is set to false, the log has to be manually
initialized when used for the very first time. (default: true)

    --master_contender=VALUE

The symbol name of the master contender to use. This symbol should exist in a
module specified through the --modules flag. Cannot be used in
conjunction with --zk. Must be used in conjunction with
--master_detector.

    --master_detector=VALUE

The symbol name of the master detector to use. This symbol should exist in a
module specified through the --modules flag. Cannot be used in
conjunction with --zk. Must be used in conjunction with
--master_contender.

    --max_agent_ping_timeouts=VALUE,

    --max_slave_ping_timeouts=VALUE

The number of times an agent can fail to respond to a
ping from the master. Agents that do not respond within
max_agent_ping_timeouts ping retries will be asked to shutdown.
(default: 5)

    --max_completed_frameworks=VALUE

Maximum number of completed frameworks to store in memory. (default: 50)

    --max_completed_tasks_per_framework=VALUE

Maximum number of completed tasks per framework to store in memory. (default: 1000)

    --max_unreachable_tasks_per_framework=VALUE

Maximum number of unreachable tasks per framework to store in memory. (default: 1000)

    --offer_timeout=VALUE

Duration of time before an offer is rescinded from a framework.
This helps fairness when running frameworks that hold on to offers,
or frameworks that accidentally drop offers.
If not set, offers do not timeout.

    --rate_limits=VALUE

The value could be a JSON-formatted string of rate limits
or a file path containing the JSON-formatted rate limits used
for framework rate limiting.
Path could be of the form file:///path/to/file
or /path/to/file.

See the RateLimits protobuf in mesos.proto for the expected format.

Example:

{
  "limits": [
    {
      "principal": "foo",
      "qps": 55.5
    },
    {
      "principal": "bar"
    }
  ],
  "aggregate_default_qps": 33.3
}

    --recovery_agent_removal_limit=VALUE,

    --recovery_slave_removal_limit=VALUE

For failovers, limit on the percentage of agents that can be removed
from the registry *and* shutdown after the re-registration timeout
elapses. If the limit is exceeded, the master will fail over rather
than remove the agents.
This can be used to provide safety guarantees for production
environments. Production environments may expect that across master
failovers, at most a certain percentage of agents will fail
permanently (e.g. due to rack-level failures).
Setting this limit would ensure that a human needs to get
involved should an unexpected widespread failure of agents occur
in the cluster.
Values: [0%-100%] (default: 100%)

    --registry=VALUE

Persistence strategy for the registry; available options are
replicated_log, in_memory (for testing). (default: replicated_log)

    --registry_fetch_timeout=VALUE

Duration of time to wait in order to fetch data from the registry
after which the operation is considered a failure. (default: 1mins)

    --registry_store_timeout=VALUE

Duration of time to wait in order to store data in the registry
after which the operation is considered a failure. (default: 20secs)

    --roles=VALUE

A comma-separated list of the allocation roles that frameworks
in this cluster may belong to. This flag is deprecated;
if it is not specified, any role name can be used.

    --[no-]root_submissions

Can root submit frameworks? (default: true)

    --user_sorter=VALUE

Policy to use for allocating resources between users. May be one of:
  dominant_resource_fairness (drf) (default: drf)

    --webui_dir=VALUE

Directory path of the webui files/assets (default: /usr/local/share/mesos/webui)

    --weights=VALUE

A comma-separated list of role/weight pairs of the form
role=weight,role=weight. Weights can be used to control the
relative share of cluster resources that is offered to different roles. This
flag is deprecated. Instead, operators should configure weights dynamically
using the /weights HTTP endpoint.

    --whitelist=VALUE

Path to a file which contains a list of agents (one per line) to
advertise offers for. The file is watched and periodically re-read to
refresh the agent whitelist. By default there is no whitelist: all
machines are accepted. Path can be of the form
file:///path/to/file or /path/to/file.

## Network Isolator Flags

*Available when configured with `--with-network-isolator`.*

        Flag

        Explanation

    --max_executors_per_agent=VALUE,

     --max_executors_per_slave=VALUE

Maximum number of executors allowed per agent. The network
monitoring/isolation technique imposes an implicit resource
acquisition on each executor (# ephemeral ports), as a result
one can only run a certain number of executors on each agent.

Man Lawfully Open Carries AR-15 Through Atlanta Airport without Incident
Written by: Tim Brown
So, all my freedom-loving American patriots, how would you respond if while you were walking through a major airport, you spotted a fellow American open carrying his AR-15 semi-automatic rifle? Would you be frightened? Would it bother you at all? Well, that's just what happened at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport in Atlanta, Georgia.
WSBTV reports:
A man carrying a rifle inside the Atlanta airport wasn't breaking any laws, but he did raise a few eyebrows, including those of some Atlanta police officers.
Jim Cooley says he carried his gun through the terminal when he and his wife went to drop his daughter off for her flight. He says he knew he wasn't breaking any rules because he has a full understanding of Georgia's gun laws.
"You can carry in unsecured areas of the airport. Past TSA, never," Cooleysaid.
That's exactly what he did. Cooley carried his AR-15 fully loaded with a 100-round drum through parts of the terminal.
"It shouldn't matter what I carry, just that I choose to carry."A local man brought this loaded AR-15 into Atlanta's…
Posted by WSB-TV on Tuesday, June 2, 2015
Of course, Mr. Cooley did not just stroll through the airport without some attention being given to him from policemen in the airport.
Cooley says he was first approached by a fire marshal who asked him why he was carrying the gun in the airport. He was then approached by an APD officer, who asked him about the gun and whether he was permitted to carry the weapon.
"I told her I was carrying this for safety when she asked me why," Cooleyposted on Facebook.
Cooley says as he and his wife began to leave the airport the APD officer stopped him again and radioed to others that he was carrying an automatic weapon. Cooley says he was then followed to his car by a police lieutenant and two officers, who took pictures of their car.
"It shouldn't matter what I carry, just that I choose to carry," Cooley said. "You never know where something might happen."
While this may be considered provocative by many and possibly unnecessary by others, consider the fact that people who have been gunned down by would-be mass murderers never thought they would need to have a weapon of this caliber while on a journey to the airport. However, what we do find is that many Atlanta Police Officers, who are supposed to be enforcing the law, don't know it. Take a look:
The Second Amendment, if obeyed by government, would allow all law-abiding citizens to arm themselves and be able to protect themselves and others in public places. Some may want to argue the wisdom in Mr. Cooley's airport stroll, but I consider it precautionary, especially in the day we live in when a gun is needed to defend someone against jihad for drawing cartoons of non-prophets.

I'm a 22-year-old Sociology-Student, who loves writing above all and wanted to be an author since... like forever!
I love reading Sci-Fi- and Fantasy-Books, but from time to time I'll pick up a cheesy romance – as long as it is YA or NA.
I also enjoy reading Manga and watching Anime, thanks to some of my closest friends.
I am as lazy as they come - so don't be surprised, if there aren't any posts for like a week or two.
I need more motivation in my life - I always start doing things (i.e. this blog or writing novels), but I can't keep myself to it, so feel free to pressure me a little, because I need that.
I love to hear other people's opinions on books and TV-shows.

Modin
(Modeein, Modein, Modeeim, and other forms; in the Talmud it is called modhi`im, and modhi`ith (Neubauer, Geographie du Talmud, 99)): This place owes its interest to the part it played in the history of the Maccabees. It was the ancestral home of their family (1 Macc 2:17,70). Hither Mattathias, a priest of the sons of Joarib, retired when he had seen with a burning heart "the blasphemies that were committed in Judah and in Jerus" under the orders of Antiochus Epiphanes. But the king's officer followed him, and by offers of the king's friendship and great rewards sought to seduce the people into idolatry. This only fed the indignation of Mattathias, and when a Jew went forward to sacrifice, Mattathias slew him on the altar together with the king's officer. From such a step there could be no going back. Thus began the patriotic enterprise which, led by the old priest's heroic sons, was destined to make illustrious the closing days of the nation's life (1 Macc 2:1 ff; Ant, VI, i, 2; BJ, I, i, 3). Mattathias, his wife and sons were all buried in Modin (1 Macc 2:70; 9:19; 13:25-30; Ant, XII, xi, 2; XIII, vi, 6). Near Modin Judas pitched his camp, whence issuing by night with the watchword "Victory is God's," he and a chosen band of warriors overwhelmed the army of Antiochus Eupator (2 Macc 13:14). In Modin Judas and John, the sons of Simon, slept before the battle in which they defeated Cendebaeus (1 Macc 16:4).
Of the impressive monument erected by Simon over the tombs of his parents and brethren Stanley (History of the Jewish Church, III, 318) gives the following account: "It was a square structure surrounded by colonnades of monolith pillars, of which the front and back were of white polished stone. Seven pyramids were erected by Simon on the summit, for the father and mother and four brothers who now lay there, with the seventh for himself when his time should come. On the faces of the monuments were bas-reliefs, representing the accouterments of sword and spear and shield `for an eternal memorial' of their many battles. There were also sculptures of ships--no doubt to record their interest in that long seaboard of the Philistine coast, which they were the first to use for their country's good. A monument at once so Jewish in idea and so Gentilein execution was worthy of the combination of patriotic fervor and high philosophic enlargement of soul which raised the Maccabean heroes so high above their age." Guerin (La Samarie, II, 401; Galilee, I, 47) thought he had discovered the remains of this monument at Khirbet el-Gharbawi near Medyeh, in 1870. In this, however, he was mistaken, the remains being of Christian origin.
Various identifications have been proposed. Coba, about 6 miles West of Jerusalem, was for a time generally accepted. Robinson (BR, III, 151 f) suggested LaTrun. There is now a consensus of opinion in favor of el-Medyeh, a village to the East of Wady Mulaki, 13 miles West of Bethel. It occupies a strong position in the hills 6 miles East of Lydda, thus meeting the condition of Eusebius, Onomasticon, which places it near Lydda. The identification was suggested by Dr. Sandreczki of Jerusalem in 1869. From el-Medyeh itself the sea is not visible; but to the South rises a rocky height, er-Ras, which commands a wide view, including the plain and the sea. The latter is 16 miles distant. If the monument of Simon stood on er-Ras, which from the rock cuttings seems not improbable, it would be seen very clearly by overlooking from the sea, especially toward sunset (1 Macc 13:29). About 1/4 mile West of el-Medyeh are tombs known as Qubur el-Yehud, one bearing the name of Sheikh el-Gharbawi, whose name attaches to the ruins. This is the tomb referred to above.

Title: Deep Learning for Food Recognition
In multimedia, dishes recognition is regarded as a difficult problem due to diverse appearance of food in shape and color because of different cooking and cutting methods. As a result, while there is a large number of cooking recipes posted on the Internet, finding a right recipe for a food picture remains a challenge. The problem is also shared among health-related applications. For example, food-log management, which records dairy food intake, often requires manual input of food/ingredients for nutrition estimation. This talk will share with you the challenge of recognizing ingredients in dishes for recipe retrieval. Finding a recipe that exactly describes a dish is challenging because ingredient compositions vary across geographical regions, cultures, seasons and occasions. I will introduce deep neutral architectures that explore the relationship among food, ingredients and recipes for recognition. The learnt deep features are used for cross-modal retrieval of food and recipes.

Title: Trustworthy Software and Automatic Program Repair
Software controls many critical infra-structures and a variety of software analysis methods have been proposed to enhance the quality, reliability and security of software components. In this talk, we will first study the gamut of methods developed so far in software validation research - ranging from systematic testing, to analysis of program source code and binaries, to formal reasoning about software components. We will also discuss the research on trustworthy software at NUS which make software vulnerability detection, localization and patching much more systematic. We will specifically explore research on futuristic programming environments which enable auto-patching of software vulnerabilities, with a focus on automatic program repair - where software errors get detected and fixed continuously. This research aims to realize the vision of self-healing software for autonomous cyber-physical systems, where autonomous devices may need to modify the code controlling the device on-the-fly to maintain strict guarantees about trust.

Title: Network Cloudification: SDN-NFV and 5G-MEC with Edge and Fog Computing
The second wave of cloud computing, named network cloudification, in the forms of SDN (Software Defined Networking), NFV (Network Function Virtualization), and 5G-MEC (Mobile Edge Computing), is to centralize and virtualize networking into data centers. It enables operators to offer NaaS (Networking as a Service) with much lower CAPEX and OPEX with larger flexibility because devices become simpler, the number of administrators is less, and service orchestration is easier. It turns parts of communications currently done in hardware into computing done in software. However, the host of these data centers would not be Google-like super data centers as they are too far away from subscribers. The latency requirement of 10ms and 1ms decentralizes cloud computing down to edge and fog computing with CORD (central offices re-architected as data centers) and cellular base stations for SDN-NFV and 5G-MEC, respectively. In this talk, we first argue why, where and when SDN, NFV, 5G-MEC would prevail, and then illustrate how to make it happen with OpenFlow, SC (Service Chaining), NSH (Network Service header), etc. Then we examine how latency requirement dominates this virtualization game by listing key questions to answer in resource allocation in the architectures of SDN, NFV, and 5G-MEC. Their answers are mostly unknown now but would benefit the architects and developers of OpenFlow switches, SDN controllers, SDN-NFV apps, NFV data centers, MEC-enabled base stations, and operator's infrastructure in general.

Title: Trend and applications of Big Data and IoT techniques
As people say "Data is the new oil," Big data is expected to make a large impact on our society and economics by mining hidden knowledge and rules from the data. In particular, the structure of the real world data is changing from traditional relational data model to more generalized graph data model, as the web and social media are getting popular in the world. One of the most important technical challenges here is to efficiently analyze large graph data that express various types of relationship between people, items, and places. In this talk, we overview the trend of Big Data and IoT and then explain our research on distributed query optimization on cloud environment and efficient graph mining algorithms. Finally, we introduce some of our interesting applications of Big Data: 1) social network analysis by employing graph mining algorithms, 2) business data analysis by exploratory data analysis techniques, and 3) Smart route recommendation system empowered by IoT.

Title: Heuristics for vehicle routing problems: Current challenges and future prospects
Vehicle Routing Problems (VRP) involve designing least-cost delivery routes to visit a geographically-dispersed set of customers. Over the past 60 years, this class of problems has been the subject of considerable work, summing up to thousands of articles. In 2017, we can reasonably say that the classical "capacitated" VRP (with only capacity constraints) is fairly well solved by metaheuristic techniques. Yet, the research on VRPs keeps on expanding even further, as a consequence of the increasing diversity of applications, which bring forth new difficult constraints, objectives, and combined decisions to account for customer's needs, vehicle and network restrictions, and to better integrate VRP optimization in the decision chains. Moreover, with the advent of collaborative logistics, green initiatives, smart cities, multi-modal transport, in contexts where multiples stakeholders and conflicting objectives have to be considered jointly, or in the presence of dynamic problems with a short response time, the efficient resolution of these problems becomes even more critical. In this talk, we will review some of the most challenging and recent VRP variants, and examine the heuristic solution techniques which are developed to tackle them. We will study the close connections between the structure of the problem decision sets, and the associated solution methods, showing how modern heuristics can effectively perform a search in a reduced space, defined by fewer groups of decision variables. Finally, a key challenge is to progress towards "unified" solution methods, which are not tailored for one single problem, but instead designed to solve a wide collection of problem variants with different constraints and objectives. For this purpose, we expose some of the main principles of the Unified Hybrid Genetic Search (UHGS), which has been recently extended to obtain state-of-the-art results --in a single code base-- for more than 50 difficult variants of vehicle routing and arc routing problems.

Q: CSS - Change DIV's width depending on contained text's width Recently I found this good-looking example for implementing some kind of material design for buttons.
Each button is composed of several classes so it can be customized just by modifying one of them. My problem is, I want the buttons to change their width along with the text they contain.
In short, a "button" is created this way:

NOT NOW

    <paper-ripple fit></paper-ripple>

I need the parent div width (the one with classes "button" and "flat") to change depending on the inner div's (with class "center") contained text. I tried several ways using only CSS, but being new to it, I didn't find the way to get the "real width" of the inner div's text, or to "wrap it". So then I found a solution using jQuery/Javascript. Here's the fiddle using that solution.
However, my question is if there's a way for doing something like this in the JSFiddle, but using only HTML and CSS.
Thank you in advance.

A: You can try using CSS min-width rule on width property in .button class
.button {
      display: inline-block;
      position: relative;
      min-width:60px;
      width:auto;
      height: 32px;
      line-height: 32px;
      border-radius: 2px;
      font-size: 0.9em;
      background-color: #fff;
      color: #646464;
    }

This article presents analysed data from the first year of the Rural Teacher Education Project (RTEP 2007–2009) with a view to illustrating how a generative theory of rurality as education research was developed, and for which ends it might be utilised. The article suggests that data from projects in rural communities, which take the rural as context, need to interrogate the role and purpose of education in such contexts in relation to notions of social and professional identity. I argue for the application of a social theory in which the rural is linked to the possibilities of identity and interaction in terms of the quality of teacher education and the quality of education in rural communities. The theory accounts for the ability of people (in this case teachers) to sustain themselves in space and time – both as subjects and agents able to resist or transform the environment, depending on resources available. It also illuminates the reality, or otherwise, of subjectivities and perceptions in our collective imaginary concerning education and the transformation project in South Africa.

La diocesi di Ruvuma è la più meridionale delle 21 diocesi della Chiesa anglicana di Tanzania. La diocesi è stata creata nel 1977, e dal 1999 il suo vescovo è Maternus Kapinga, consacrato il 7 novembre di quell'anno.

Nel 2003 la diocesi accolse tra le sue file l'italiano Claudio Bocca, autorizzandolo a predicare in Italia per l'Associazione della missione episcopale ortodossa in Italia, nata per iniziativa del vescovo Kapinga come fondazione canonica afferente alla diocesi stessa e che ha nel vescovo di Ruvuma il proprio supervisore spirituale.

Dal 25 febbraio 2004 la diocesi è entrata in piena comunione con la Comunione anglicana ortodossa, pur senza rescindere i rapporti con la Chiesa madre, membro della Comunione anglicana legata all'arcivescovo di Canterbury. In base a questo accordo firmato a Firenze, il vescovo di Ruvuma Kapinga è stato nominato vescovo suffraganeo della Chiesa anglicana ortodossa, mentre il vescovo Scott Earle McLaughlin della Chiesa anglicana ortodossa è stato nominato canonico emerito del capitolo della cattedrale.
