Yesterday, we shared thoughts from Emerson's Peter Zornio about new types of services enabled by the Industrial Internet of Things. Today we'll look at how these technologies continue to bring IT organizations and Operations staff closer together—whether they like the idea or not.
…IT and operations are now forced to work together, spurred by increasingly complex digital devices that pose fearsome cybersecurity threats.
We think of desktop computers, servers, networking devices, shared printers etc. as Information Technology (IT). But Operations Technology (OT), such as control systems, asset management systems, manufacturing execution systems, etc. rely on much of the same hardware and operating system technologies.
The thing that's happened in the last three to five years that's really pushing these guys together is security…Security concerns around running these facilities are very different from what IT is looking at.
IT is usually concerned about someone coming in and stealing information. On process control, you're worried about people coming in and changing something in the equipment running a process. Some of these are dangerous processes that, if disrupted, could result in accidents, injury, environmental damage or even death.
Peter explained how the underlying OT moved to IT hardware and operating systems occurred because of vastly superior price-performance due to the manufacturing volumes of IT equipment. The flip side is the ongoing support from security patching and updates. These updates must be carefully planned and tested to make sure nothing breaks which could lead to safety, reliability or performance issues.
The IT industry has somehow managed to program CIOs with the idea that of course you're always upgrading and we're not going to support this thing that's over six years old. And they think that's just the way it is. But engineers don't think that way, any more than you'd think you have to replace the engine in your car just because it's 10 years old.
Read the article for others' viewpoints on the differences in perspectives and ways to address these in order to foster improved collaboration between organizations.

In reaching its decision, the court relied on previous Massachusetts caselaw that defined "operation" as anytime a person intentionally does an act or makes use of any mechanical or electrical agency which alone or in sequence sets in motion the motive power of that vehicle.
In my reading of this opinion, there is still an argument to be made that simply putting the keys in the ignition, without turning or activating the electrical power, does not constitute "operation" for purposes of Massachusetts Drunk Driving Laws.

Mission Out Takes
First Lunar Bible
The Story of The First Lunar Bible on BBC Radio… by rrauction
Music to the Moon: The Apollo 10 Music Tape
Here is the Music Player. You need to installl flash player to show this cool thing!
On May 18, 1969, Tom Stafford, John Young and Gene Cernan lifted out from Pad 39B of the Kennedy Space Center launch complex. Their next stop was the Moon. Their mission was the final "dress rehearsal" for the Saturn V, the Apollo spacecraft and the lunar module at the Moon prior to landing.
The trip to lunar orbit would take three days of coasting in deep space. Although the crew remained busy during the translunar coast phase of their mission, there were down times between chores. The crew had a special piece of home in the form of popular music of the time recorded onto a cassette tape by a friend to occupy them during such lulls in the flight.
The cassette tape was recorded by Al Bishop, who was an employee of Boeing at the time. Al hooked a cassette tape player to his stereo and recorded several of the more popular musical artists of the day. Artists like Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and The Kingston Trio were included on the tape. Mr. Bishop used songs like "Fly Me to the Moon", "Going Back to Houston" and "Moonlight Serenade" to provide a theme befitting a flight to the Moon.
In August of 2006, Gene Cernan and Al Bishop spent the afternoon lying on the floor of Al's living room recording all the music on this tape. The quality of the tape reflects that type of early private recording with miscues, skips and clicks that an older record album would make on a turntable. That is what makes the tape so good for historic purposes. These two men took the time to sit, choose and record music for a flight to the Moon. (content courtesy Larry McGlynn)
As the Apollo 10 crew completed their tasks and prepared to return to earth, they cued their mikes and according to Stafford, sent Houston a message via the first song on the tape:
1. "Going Back to Houston" (Dean Martin)
2. "Fly Me to the Moon" (Frank Sinatra)
3. "Let's Fly Away" (Dean Martin)
4. "My Beautiful Baloon" (Dean Martin)
5. "Saying Something Stupid" (Frank Sinatra)
6. "Sentimental Journey" (Acker Bilk)
7. "Greensleeves" (Acker Bilk)
8. "Good Night My Love" (Acker Bilk)
9. "Welcome to My World" (Dean Martin)
10. "Praying for Grapes in California (Dean Martin)
11. "Thirty More Miles to San Diego" (Dean Martin)
12. "Moon River" (Henry Mancini)
13. "Moonlight Serenade" (Frank Sinatra)

Book review: The Apostles of Apollo: The Journey of the Bible to the Moon and the Untold Stories of America's Race into Space
By Steve Weinberg
The effort to explore the earth's moon seems like quasi-ancient history circa 2010. After all, U.S. astronauts took the first step on the moon's surface two generations ago, and a few years later the space program pretty much disappeared from public consciousness.
But Carol Mersch, just a child when those dramatic space walks and moon landings occurred during the 1960s, brings it all back home in her fascinating book "The Apostles of Apollo: The Journey of the Bible to the Moon and the Untold Stories of America's Race Into Space."
The new angle in Mersch's book is the journey of the Christian Bible, in various forms, into space, carried there by astronauts either deeply religious in the churchgoing sense or at least deeply spiritual in the secular sense. Because U.S. astronauts faced severe limits on what they could carry into the cramped command module, transporting a Bible meant subterfuge and sacrifice. But those astronauts would not be denied.
As a result of Mersch's fresh research through interviews with those in the space program still alive as well as readings and hearings of copious documents and tapes, Christians are quite likely going to embrace her book. The Bible's role in the narrative, however, is not overwhelming; the book contains vast sections that atheists, agnostics and religious non-Christians are bound to find compelling, too.
The narrative arrives pretty much chronologically, from the Apollo One space mission through the Apollo Seventeen mission. Within that chronology, Mersch, a Tulsa writer, offers a great deal of celebratory material for those who bought into spending U.S. dollars on space exploration. She does not shy away, however, from the deaths of some participants and the psychological crippling of others. It turned out that space exploration meant perils as well as triumphs.
Mersch's writing is marred somewhat by reliance on cliches, but overall is easy to digest. She is especially skilled at foreshadowing. Those who paid attention to the space program already know the outcome. Yet the use of foreshadowing creates a narrative drive that will lead even the cognoscenti to turn the pages enthusiastically.
Steve Weinberg is one of the most prolific and talented book reviewers in the nation. He has been writing reviews professionally since the early 1970s. Those reviews, as well as extended essays about books and authors, have appeared in almost every high-quality newspaper book section, including New York Times, Washington Post Book World, Boston Globe, Baltimore Sun, Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Houston Chronicle , Chicago Tribune, and more.
"It's a classic."
-Edgar D. Mitchell, Apollo 14 Lunar Module Pilot
The technological side of things changes quickly. The side shown here is the side that endures."
-Eugene Cernan, Commander, Apollo 17
"Well written and captures the human side of space flight."
- Tom Stafford, Commander, Apollo 10
Apollo Commander, Apollo-Soyuz Test Project
"Mersch has produced an amazing book that is written in thoughtful and well-assembled prose, which holds the reader's interest right to the end."
- Colin Burgess, Space Historian and Award-winning Author
"Fallen Astronauts,Into That Silent Sea, & In the Shadow of the Moon"
"Truly captures the courage and emotion of those in Mission Control as we struggled to find answers and find them fast."
-Jerry Bostick, NASA Chief, Flight Dynamics officer
Project Apollo, 1968-1973
"We never thought that we would not save the [Apollo 13] crew, not once. A well researched book."
-Sy Liebergot, EECOM systems Flight Controller, Project Apollo,
Skylab EGIL systems Flight Controller, 1966-1975
"This fascinating book describes an aspect of Project Apollo that I knew very little about."
- Ed Hengeveld, Space Artist and Apollo Historian

Ado Hasanovic (born in Srebrenica 1986) is a Bosnian film director based in Rome, Italy. From 2008-2011, Mr.Hasanovic has been the Creative Director of the Srebrenica Short Film Festival. He graduated from the Sarajevo Film Academy as a film director in 2013. He later attended the National Film School 'Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia' in Rome, where he specialized as a film director. In 2015, he started working as Art Director for the Mediterranean Short Film Festival in Sant'Antioco, Italy. As a guest student at the Academy of Performing Arts in Sarajevo, he finished a Master in Dramaturgy. He won several international awards for his short films "The Angel of Srebrenica", "Blue Viking in Sarajevo", "Mum" "Breath of life Srebrenica" and "Pink Elephant".
Sarajevo Times: How did you decide to become a director?
During the war in Srebrenica, my father, Bekir, purchased a camera and he recorded different events in the United Nations (UN) protected zone during the period 1993-1995. I will not talk much about how we managed to survive. We went to Tuzla as refugees and I had the opportunity to watch my father's footage and events that happened in Srebrenica. Later, in 1996, he gave me the VHS camera and I am still keeping it. I learned how to record in a short period of time, it felt like magic, as if I had some kind of power with the camera. I recorded different activities on the street and in school, I gave instructions to people on how to talk and what to do, and I did not even know what is that profession called. Later, in 2002/04, we returned to our pre-war village of Glogova, where we renovated our demolished house, and I started volunteering in the Association "Friends of Srebrenica" in 2006, where I realized that my wish is to make films.
In the end, I gave up on them, because I discovered other stories while I was researching the previous ones that I dedicated my time to. These are the phases from month to month, from year to year, and my education certainly made a great influence. I started all of it as an amateur, I was creative director of the Short Film Festival "Silver Ribbon" in Srebrenica from 2008 to 2011. I created a short film "Angel of Srebrenica" and enrolled the Sarajevo Film Academy, after which I went with my graduation film "Mama" to Rome to continue specializing as a film director at the national film school "Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia".I am saying all of this to explain the importance and process of filmmaking. You will meet some people who will say that you do not need a school to make a movie. I agree, you do not need a school, but you cannot make a movie without a basic film education. On the other hand, you can record a movie, everyone can do it today with their phone, but you can only show it to your friends on your gathering. The film demands serious attitude and work.
Later on, the rehearsal and work with actors, selecting locations, recording and post-production (image editing, sound processing, special effects, sub-notes, colour correction, mix, export). In the end, the distribution and screening of the film.
Sarajevo Times: How do you choose actors for roleplaying?
I did not do casting for the role of mother and father for my short film "Pink Elephant". I knew who could be the actor while writing the scenario. It all depends on the story I am doing, sometimes it is difficult to imagine what my main character looks like, what his / her face looks like, and this happens now with my first feature movie "I am Ana" on which I have been working for two years now. I am still in the phase of writing scenario, and I already have the prediction of who might play some characters in the story, but for the main character, girl, I still cannot imagine the actress who might play it, and that is the reason why I will have a great casting and hopefully choose the right one.
The whole movie depends on the crew. It is very important to have a good chef on the set, the person who prepares the food is very important. If actors and the crew are not satisfied with the food, you will have problems from the very beginning. These are little things, and they all depend on the budget and the contract with the crew. From my experience, it is important to make a contract with all members of the team in order to avoid any type of misunderstanding, because those are delicate things, this "damn" ending credits that means nothing to ordinary viewers. I had the opportunity to record and produce a short film "Nomofobia" for the first time, which should be completed in the upcoming days. I had the opportunity to choose all the members of the team for the first time and I must say that this was the most beautiful experience I have had on the set.
When speaking about BH movies, Mr. Hasanovic says that there are no large budget on the state level for BH film. Authors get small funds and they are left on their own to make films and fund themselves alone.
Sarajevo Times: What inspires you?
Speaking about his current projects, Mr. Hasanovic says that he is working on the first feature film "I am Ana," which is a story of love and conflicts within a family, between father and daughter, and the violence that is hidden behind the smile. I am also finishing the short film "Nomofobia" that I recorded in one cadre. Film takes place in the provinces of Tuscany, central Italy, has an unexpected twist when a mother decides to confiscate her teenager daughter's telephone.

The man remembered by many as the Godfather of Snowmobiling has passed away at the age of 90. Edgar Hetteen, who co-founded Polaris Industries in 1954 in Roseau, and founded Arctic Cat in Thief River Falls, died Saturday in Grand Rapids, Minnesotta. Although others developed versions of snowmobiles before Hutteen, the Minnesota native was the first to realize the consumer market for snowmobiles.
The son of first-generation Swedish immigrants, Edgar Hetteen grew up on a farm near Roseau, Minnesota. Working with farm equipment, he developed an engineer's eye for innovation and invention, despite attaining only an eighth-grade education. He worked in an uncle's machine shop as a teenager, served in the military, then founded Hetteen Hoist and Derrick in the mid-1940s. His original partner was his eventual brother-in-law, David Johnson, who initially bought into the company by sending money to Edgar from the Pacific region, where David was stationed in the U.S. Navy.
The company expanded beyond hoist and derrick work, building anything customers needed, including a highly successful line of farm products. Such a diverse company needed a less-restrictive name, so in 1954, Edgar and David incorporated the business as Polaris Industries Inc. The three original partners in Polaris were Edgar, David and Edgar's younger brother, Allan Hetteen.

Minnesotta Public Radio has story and timeline of his life posted on their website.

So I grew up watching both Chinese and Japanese movies, as much as the classics, westerns and science fiction. I'm a product of the 80's so when you mention retro- that's life for me. When I was at the show and saw the preview for The Great Wall with my hubby, I remember I leaned to his ear and whispered, "We must see this movie" and I kept my word to him. We saw it The Tuesday after release day.
There was a bit of fuss about this movie being an offense to Chinese, but I don't see how. The movie is a Chinese honor! Because I love all sorts of culture, so watching the drummers signal plans with their swift, swinging movements, watching warriors in their colorful armory, and the creatures- made the first half of my day. I watched everything like a kid again, mesmerized! To say the least, the cinematography was on point and made the movie a fabulous view!
Now I never listen to review critics, but I wanted to see what they thought. I have to admit, I was surprised at all the negative hype. People thinking the movie was white-washed, when it was like 98% Chinese and Mandarin was spoken just as much as English- I was baffled! It's an action-fantasy movie, set in a fictional, Chinese world and filled with monsters! How was there any debate on who's movie this belonged to?
Okay, the movie's about some Westerners who came to China for black powder. There were many, but only two lived through the journey... empty handed. Until they're captured before the Great Wall. Unfortunate for them, they arrived before a battle with an ancient enemy. Do they stay and fight or get what they came for and run? That's all I'll share, but there's so much more. To say much would offer up SPOILERS and you know how I feel about that.
Do yourself a favor and don't listen to the critics. Check The Great Wall for yourself. Don't go trying to figure out what's going to happen. Don't view, wondering if the white guys save the day either. Watch for a good movie that makes for a great adventure, and took a lot of money to make for your enjoyment.

Q: BipartiteMatching hangs with floating-point weights in Mathematica 7 (package Combinatorica) I am trying to use Combinatorica's BipartiteMatching algorithm on a weighted graph. I need to use real numbers as weights.
If I try the following
graph = CompleteGraph[1, 1]
graph = SetEdgeWeights[graph, {1}]
BipartiteMatching[graph]

it correctly gives the perfect matching {{1,2}}.
But if instead I try this
graph = CompleteGraph[1, 1]
graph = SetEdgeWeights[graph, {1.}]
BipartiteMatching[graph]

(the only difference being the decimal point), it hangs, apparently forever.
Am I missing something obvious?
Any help would be much appreciated!

As in most countries, the range of mobile phone models and plans in Australia is huge, and it can be difficult to know where to start looking. The first thing to remember is to stay realistic about how much you can afford to pay.
Many 'hand sets' (the phone itself) are free on contract plans. However, newer and more expensive phones attract a monthly fee on top of call charges. Do some research to work out whether you really need features on your phone such as email and internet connectivity. Don't rely on sales people for all your information. If you only use your mobile phone for calls, you can save a lot of money by choosing a basic model.
As with the phone itself, it is important to choose a plan that you can comfortably afford. Failure to pay your phone bill could affect your credit record, making it more difficult to get a bank loan or mortgage. The two main types of plan in Australia are pre-paid and contract, or post-paid.
If you are trying to minimise your mobile phone spend or you are worried about bill shock, a pre-paid plan is the best option. Unlike contract plans, which charge every month for the life of the plan, you can choose when to top up your pre-paid plan. Bill shock does not exist with pre-paid plans as you are not able to make calls once you exceed the amount of credit you have paid for.
Most contract plans run for 12 or 24 months. The cost of calls is usually cheaper for longer plans, but remember that you are stuck with the company for a long time, and it is expensive to break a contract; you may even have to pay it out in full.
Always read the details of a contract, especially call/SMS charges, connection fee, data download limit, and extra cost of a handset. You may have a phone from your home country that you could connect to a plan in Australia, however check whether there are any costs for unlocking it. It might be cheaper to just get a new phone.
You must also decide whether you want to pay monthly insurance on your phone. It will cover you if your phone is lost, stolen, or damaged, but it is an extra expense.
Mobile phone subscribers receiving receiving very high bills as a result of exceeding their cap limit, known as 'bill shock', has become a major issue in Australia. The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) estimates that Australian mobile phone users pay $1.5 billion to telecommunications companies through poor plan choices.
The government is now forcing phone companies to provide more information about how they charge subscribers, and remove confusing language from advertising, in order to reduce the rate of bill shock.
Under the new rules for the telco companies, subscribers must be notified when they reach 50 percent, 85 per cent, and 100 per cent of their plan limit.
Of course, it is better to take control of your plan yourself, rather than relying on your provider. ACMA warns that warning messages could take up to 48 hours to arrive.
Telecommunications Industry Ombudsman (TIO) – If you have a problem with your service provider or think you have been overcharged, the TIO will look into the matter for you. The phone number for the TIO is 1800 062 058.

The universal symbols
Oystersteel
Rolex uses Oystersteel for its steel watch cases. Specially developed by the brand, Oystersteel belongs to the 904L steel family, alloys most commonly used in high-technology and in the aerospace and chemical industries, where maximum resistance to corrosion is essential. Oystersteel is extremely resistant, offers an exceptional finish once polished and maintains its beauty even in the harshest environments.
The design, development and production of Rolex bracelets and clasps, as well as the stringent tests they face, involve advanced high technology. And, as with all the components of the watch, aesthetic controls by the human eye guarantee impeccable beauty. The Oyster bracelet is a perfect alchemy of form and function. First introduced in the late 1930s, this particularly robust and comfortable metal bracelet with its broad, flat three-piece links remains the most universal bracelet in the Oyster collection.
Calibre 2231 is a self-winding mechanical movement entirely developed and manufactured by Rolex. Like all Rolex Perpetual movements, the 2231 is a certified Swiss chronometer, a designation reserved for high-precision watches that have successfully passed the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute (COSC) tests. Its architecture, in common with all Oyster watch movements, makes it singularly reliable.
Few companies have been so consistently identified with the pursuit of excellence, the quest for the absolute, the discovery of original approaches and innovative solutions. Rolex watches have proved themselves from the start in the most extreme conditions imaginable - from the depths of the deepest oceans to the summits of the highest mountains, in the air and on the race track. And to ensure that all Rolex watches can live up to these high expectations, every single one is tested to extremes before it is allowed to leave the Rolex site.

Reference 86 • With a surrounding land of approx 43 hectares (430.000 sqm) of Almond trees and marvelous pines, this country home has been built over 100 years ago giving it a touch of castle. Moreover, the actual owners have been inspired by the old French forts to create an attractive and comfy place, entirely renovated with excellent materials.
Within the area of the Costa Blanca, in a place where you have sun over 300 days per year, this country home is no further than 30 min from the sea, yet in a mountainous and hyper natural area. The house is remote from any urban center and you have no neighbor at sight; let's summarize this as total tranquility. Far from my mind to say that the property is miles away from a living area, on the contrary: a few minutes only to reach commerce and amenities.
The so called fort has been entirely renovated over 10 years ago, starting from a not-so-far-away ruined state. The actual owners have dedicated enormous energy to bring top quality material to respect the soul of this place. Among other things, old massive oak beams have been brought from recup in France to keep its original touch. All walls are made in natural stones, that is inside and outside walls. Large terraces are at will with a wonderful swimming pool area overlooking the infinite. All inviting you to sit down and relax.

How to attract the best talent
Discover how you can make your business stand out from the rest when attracting talent
Published by Editorial team, last update Aug 31, 2019
Attracting the best talent as a company grows has become pivotal in the modern era. This has been increasingly recognised by everyone associated with business, from governments and cities to companies and sole traders. Governments often make a country attractive via tax breaks and incentives; while cities across the UK offer things like dedicated business quarters, impressive architecture, trendy places to socialise, dependable transport links and a labour force with a variety of skills and talent.
How to write the perfect offer letter
How can flexible working attract talent in a competitive market?
How to attract, pitch and close great employees
In terms of businesses and recruitment agencies and teams, the most successful are having to stay one step ahead of the game to ensure they snare the right candidates. From jobs in Liverpool listed on sites like uk.Jobrapido.com, all the way through to apprenticeships on offer in Brighton here's the low down on how companies attract the best talent.
Reputation in many ways is everything
Having a strong reputation as a company, or in your field, or even both, will prove to be a huge advantage when it comes to attracting talent. The best talent undoubtedly wants to work for those who are the most reputable and biggest names in their chosen industry, so ensuring you're the best or one of the best is crucial. If you're not the right up there, it's important to have something that makes you stand out from the crowd in the sector.
Creating social visibility
Most of us are now extremely active on social media in some way, shape, or form, be it on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or a combination of multiple platforms. Therefore, social media marketing can be a great tool to use when it comes to attracting the best talent. Not only does it allow a company to show what they're about, but it also allows the company to check out these platforms to find individuals suited to the positions available. This can be done using keywords and by checking out Facebook Groups, for example.
Word of mouth is still important
It could also be a great idea to get current employees on the case when it comes to recruiting new talent. Workers, especially those working in niche sectors, are highly likely to know the right man, or woman, for the job. Moreover, this could prove to be invaluable when on the hunt for new staff. Adding a referral incentive into the mix will help here too, with current staff members more likely to get involved if there's a bonus to be earned.
Progression is a key part of the value proposition
While hiring new staff members and attracting the best talent is very much about the present, it's important to remember the future too. Many people heading into new jobs or careers will want to know that they'll have the opportunity to progress as time goes on, and this will ultimately make them more likely to be interested in the role if they know that the company will invest in them as an individual, helping them to move forward along their career path.
Standing for something
A company these days is much more than a business. It stands for something, and so do the people within it. Outlining the company values and ethos, while also developing the culture within the workplace, will all prove to be attractive qualities to those you're looking to recruit.

Cocoa grown, fermented and dried in Solomon Islands has won a leading international cocoa award overnight in Paris, France.
Selected from 145 samples from around the globe, Solomon Islands cocoa has been awarded the International Cocoa Award, with judges hailing it as the 'find of the competition'.
Earlier this year the Australian Government sponsored a sample of cocoa grown by Solomon Islands cocoa farmer, David Kebu Junior, to enter the International Cocoa of Excellence Programme.
Pacific Islands News Association (PACNEWS) reports, last night, the Solomon Islands entry was awarded an International Cocoa Award – one of only 17 recipients from around the world.
Kebu Junior responded modestly on hearing that his cocoa had won the prestigious award.
He said this is a reward for all the hard work he and his family have put into increasing the yield of their trees and the quality of their fermentation and drying.
For the last years, David and his family have maintained a strict pruning regime and promoted the cultivation of their best-growing cocoa trees.
David has worked with a number of Australian Government programs to increase his yields and quality of his cocoa harvest.
Through the Pacific Horticultural and Agriculture Market Access Program (PHAMA), David has trialled new sun assisted drying techniques for Solomon Islands.

BEDFORD, N.H. – March 14, 2013 – (RealEstateRama) — Walkable and vibrant village centers, communities with a diverse housing supply, and protection of critical resources are now a more attainable reality for 21 New Hampshire communities thanks to funding through the Community Planning Grant (CPG) Program. New Hampshire Housing recently awarded nearly $500,000 in Community Planning Grant awards to cities and towns across the state so they can improve their land use regulations and achieve community development goals. The overall goal of the CPG Program, which was founded by New Hampshire Housing in collaboration with a consortium of public agencies and state-wide institutions, is to help municipalities reform their regulations to promote development that will have a lasting positive impact while also helping them conserve important resources.
Municipal projects to be funded include the creation of a master plan for pedestrian and bicycle routes and regulations to implement it; zoning changes to promote workforce housing; amending regulations to balance land development with the preservation of natural resources; and creating village centers that offer a mix of both residential and commercial properties. Projects were selected on a competitive basis from among 26 applications seeking nearly $600,000 in total funding.
Grant awardees are: Alton, Amherst, Bedford, Bow, Claremont, Concord, Deerfield, Dover, Farmington, Greenfield, Lancaster, Lebanon, Litchfield, Milford, Northfield, Pelham, Rindge, Salisbury, Sanbornton, Seabrook, and Springfield.
Funding for the CPG Program is provided through a cooperative agreement with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). New Hampshire Housing was one of 27 state and local agencies to be awarded a share of $28 million in FY2011 grants through HUD's Community Challenge Grant program, which aims to reform and reduce barriers to achieving affordable and economically vital communities. This is the second round of grant funding awarded by New Hampshire Housing's CPG program. For more information about the program, please visit the NH Citizen Planner Collaborative at www.nhcitizenplanner.org.
About New Hampshire Housing Finance Authority: New Hampshire Housing Finance Authority is a self-supporting public benefit corporation. The Authority operates a number of rental and homeownership programs designed to assist low- and moderate-income persons with obtaining affordable housing. Since its inception, New Hampshire Housing has helped nearly 40,000 families purchase their own homes and has been instrumental in financing the creation of more than 14,500 multi-family housing units.

El filtrado generalizado es un esquema de filtrado bayesiano genérico para modelos de espacio de estado no lineales. Se basa en un principio variacional de mínima acción, formulado en coordenadas generalizadas. Tenga en cuenta que el concepto de "coordenadas generalizadas" como se usa aquí difiere del concepto de coordenadas generalizadas de movimiento como se usa en el análisis de sistemas dinámicos (multicuerpo). El filtrado generalizado proporciona densidades posteriores sobre estados ocultos (y parámetros) que generan datos observados utilizando un descenso de gradiente generalizado en energía libre variacional, bajo el supuesto de Laplace . A diferencia del filtrado clásico (p. ej. Kalman-Bucy o de partículas), el filtrado generalizado evita las suposiciones markovianas sobre fluctuaciones aleatorias. Además, opera en línea, asimilando datos para aproximar la densidad posterior sobre cantidades desconocidas, sin la necesidad de pasos hacia atrás. Los casos especiales incluyen filtrado variacional,  maximización dinámica de expectativas  y codificación predictiva generalizada.

Definición
Definición : el filtrado generalizado se basa en la tupla  :

 Un espacio muestral  desde el cual se dibujan las fluctuaciones aleatorias
 Estados de control  - que actúan como causas externas, entradas o términos forzados
 Estados ocultos  - que causan estados del sensor y dependen de los estados de control
 Estados del sensor  - un mapeo probabilístico de estados ocultos y de control
 Densidad generativa  - sobre estados sensoriales, ocultos y de control bajo un modelo generativo
 Densidad de variación  - sobre estados ocultos y de control con media

Aquí ~ denota una variable en coordenadas generalizadas de movimiento:

Filtrado generalizado
El objetivo es aproximar la densidad posterior sobre los estados ocultos y de control, dados los estados del sensor y un modelo generativo, y estimar la (ruta integral de la) evidencia del modelo  para comparar diferentes modelos. Esto generalmente implica una marginación intratable sobre estados ocultos, por lo que la evidencia del modelo (o probabilidad marginal) se reemplaza con un límite de energía libre variacional. Dadas las siguientes definiciones:

Denota la entropía de Shannon de la densidad  por  . Entonces podemos escribir la energía libre variacional de dos maneras:

La segunda igualdad muestra que minimizar la energía libre variacional (i) minimiza la divergencia Kullback-Leibler entre la densidad posterior variable y verdadera y (ii) hace que la energía libre variacional sea la (aproximación ligada a la) evidencia logarítmica negativa (porque la divergencia nunca puede ser menor que cero). Bajo el supuesto de Laplace  la densidad variacional es gaussiana y la precisión que minimiza la energía libre es  . Esto significa que la energía libre puede expresarse en términos de la media variacional  (omitiendo constantes):

Las medias variacionales que minimizan la (integral de ruta) de energía libre ahora se pueden recuperar resolviendo el filtro generalizado:

dónde  es un operador derivada de matrices de identidad de manera que

Base variacional
El filtrado generalizado se basa en el siguiente lema: la solución autoconsistente para  satisface el principio variacional de la acción estacionaria, donde la acción es la integral de ruta de la energía libre variacional

Prueba : la autoconsistencia requiere que el movimiento de la media sea la media del movimiento y (por el lema fundamental del cálculo variacional )

En pocas palabras, las pequeñas perturbaciones en el camino de la media no cambian la energía libre variacional y tienen la menor acción de todos los caminos (locales) posibles.

Observaciones: heurísticamente, el filtrado generalizado realiza un descenso de gradiente en energía libre variacional en un marco de referencia móvil: , donde el marco en sí minimiza la energía libre variacional. Para un ejemplo relacionado en física estadística, vea Kerr y Graham  quienes usan la dinámica de conjunto en coordenadas generalizadas para proporcionar una versión generalizada de fase-espacio de Langevin y las ecuaciones de Fokker-Planck asociadas.

En la práctica, el filtrado generalizado utiliza linealización local  en intervalos  para recuperar actualizaciones discretas

Esto actualiza las medias de las variables ocultas en cada intervalo (generalmente el intervalo entre observaciones).

This softly waved style is elegant and chic. Chin length, textured strands flip under and out and are easily finger styled. Wisp bangs frame the face and give this elegant cut a unique look. A monofilament top and lace front offers optional off the face styling and multidirectional part flexibility.
I own and wear dozens of wigs, but this is my all time favorite! I have had so many compliments on it every time I wear it. I've even had people take pictures of my hair so that they can have their ears cut in the same style. No one ever realizes that it's not my bio hair. There is just the right amount of hair on this wig not too much, not too poofy, and definitely not too little. The cap is very comfortable. This is my go-to wig when I'm out for the night or at an important event.

PD-| 9 Smell Progress
" SMELL. "
Heng Tong x Hong Sheng
(apologies for the late progress post)
We began conceptualising the form of smell with our concepts. As we consulted Professor Ker Siang, we realised there is a mismatch of ideals among our 3 concepts.
As our intention is to capture scent by triggering tactile trajectory, concept 2 and 3 have a clash of idea as both concepts feel too curated in a sense that there is no other purpose of the installations aside from its form, and the trigger of tactile interaction is lost, as the installations feel too foreign for the people to interact with it.
Concept 1 is the closest to our intended target, thus we decide to develop on the concept.
Also during the consultation, the idea of a 'membrane' of which a poetic notion of having each individual pass through a 'membrane' is being discussed, with the idea of 'hanging planes' hanging at the front of a given walkway. As such, every individual has to push past the planes in order to go into the walkway.
The concept is really radical in the placement of the installation, in which it blocks the airflow of the walkway, thus separating and allocating a set vicinity to trap the scent.
However, there is a number of drawbacks to this concept. One is such that it forces the users to interact with it, and the trapped scent may very well be nasty due to the nature of humidity of the Singaporean weather.
Thus, both Hong Sheng and I feel that the concept can be further refined.
Smell Development | Research
In the midst of our development, we realised that in order to create our installation in the way we intend to, the use of a base smell is inevitable. As such, we find ourselves faced with 2 huge obstacles.
Firstly, we have to curate a base smell to be placed in within our installation. We will need to create a base smell for that, and we need to justify our base smell.
Secondly, we know that the technicalities regarding the curation of a base smell are not within our expertise. Therefore, we looked at more research based on smell installations that are curated. From these, we try to understand how we can allow the scent to be encapsulated within our installation.
Smell me by Martynka Wawrzyniak
(https://www.wired.com/2012/10/smell-me-martynka-wawrzyniak/)
Smell me is a smell self-portrait of Polish-born Martynka Wawryniak. Her installation was curated at the envoy enterprise gallery in New York, in 2012.
Through a year-long research collaboration with a crew of students at Hunter College to collect her scent – of which consist of sweat, tears and hair oil. As such she had to work closely with the research students for a year, of which consists of many laboratory research and tests.
Smell of Fear by Sissel Tolaas
(https://www.mediamatic.net/en/page/21095/the-smell-of-fear)
Smell of Fear is a 2006 smell installation by Sissel Tolaas. It is an installation that curated the smell of twenty men suffering from severe phobias, from twenty different parts of the world.
As part of the curation of the smell, Sissel Tolaas collected the scent of these twenty men at the moment their phobia kicked in, and then is simulated in her laboratory in Berlin called Re_searchLab. Using nanotechnology, the sweat molecules were recreated and micro-encapsulated. This allowed the molecules to be kept within the neutral smelling blinder of the exhibition, and will only be activated by touch.
As poetic as these 2 installations showcased, both showcased a huge basis of the scientific process before they derived with their outcome. We feel that we do not have the necessary expertise to create the smell within our installation. Therefore, unfortunately, we feel that we can only base our installation on a conceptual hypothesis.
However, all hope is still not lost. We looked to local perfumeries to gain bits of knowledge, as well as to solve our crisis.
Jetaime Perfumery
Jetaime Perfumery is a local perfumery firm who has created scents of Singapore, into bottles of perfume entitled Singapore Memories. Jetaime Perfumery also has an upcoming Smell Museum opening in Singapore.
We have enquired with them to seek advice and perhaps look into the way they create the smells. Having already reached out to them, we have not gotten a response yet.
Phoebe the Perfumer
Our ever-helpful friend Grace (thank you!) told us of her acquaintance, Phoebe who is a perfumer. We reached out to her to inquire some knowledge. Below is the summary of our conversation with her.
HOW IS SMELL CREATED in Singapore?
Client wants to launch a new line of product which requires a new fragrance.
The client will approach fragrance houses with a fragrance brief
The brief will include information on what the product will be, target market, where it will be sold, kind of feel it will try to evoke, colours and mood board, or even an existing perfume for inspiration.
Teams within the fragrance houses will be assembled to work on the brief.
Key figures:
Perfumers (create formulas, decide what ingredients to use)
Evaluators (Smell what has been created, compared to the brief, evaluate fragrance on actual heads to see if fragrance works according to the brief given.
Perfumer decides the quantity of ingredients to put into the fragrance. Musks (eg. Galaxodite) are used in perfumery as base nodes, for longevity and depth.
The top 5 in Fragrance Industry is Givaudan, IFF, Symrise, Firmenich and Tasksago.
Much to our surprise, which also demonstrated our lack of knowledge in the pursuit of our tackling field, the Singapore industry also actively pursue perfumery to create scents in products.
As we develop our concept, we look to try to work on the technicalities to the best of our abilities.
-TBC-
Smell Connotation
Back to developing our concept, we decided to extrapolate the notion of smell into form. We did this by extracting a number of words pertaining to smell.
In the end, we came out with 3 keywords: Dispersive, Porosity and Flow.
Dispersive (adjective) describes the nature of smell, diffusing into the surrounding air. Porosity (noun) describes the human nature of looking into a vent to justify the origin of the smell. Flow (verb) describes the journey of the smell molecules.
We created a small survey of which we tested our peers to draw with the 3 keywords.
Yiwen
Some interesting aspects of the survey are that the majority of our peers drew flow as a line stretching from left to right.
Other interesting aspects include: Casey also drew out of the space showing the dispersive action, Darren showed the flow from bottom to top and Jeremy drawing a funnel.
We thank all of you, and we look to develop in the form of smell for our installation.
Concept (a) – Frame
The frame concept is inspired by the idea that a particular scent denotes a particular space. Our concept lies in the Our chosen placement is the open space at Northspine, outside the lecture theatres.
Our idea is to create a location where NTU students can congregate through the ambiguous form within the installation. Inspired by Verner Panton's Visona II, we want our space inside to be made of memory foam that lingers with our base smell. Placement of an open space allows ventilation and diffusion of the scent to the surrounding.
Concept (b) – Membrane
Inspired by the idea of smell molecules passing through a membrane. Our chosen placement is the tunnel walkway at north spine.
For this concept, we look into the curation of smell into a visual form. As this concept plays with the height of the walkway, we want our installation to fill the extent of the wall. We strive to create the visual aspects of smell through our chosen keywords, and in using memory foam, we look to create a 3-dimensional art installation, while at the same time defusing our base smell into the vicinity.
Looking forward, we want to look into finalising the visual form of smell, and to create a render of the installation. We also want to create our base smell.
That's all for now. Cheers.

PD-| 8-1 Announcing Smell
As previously mentioned; despite being primitive, smell is subjective, personal and under developed in human beings.
The presence and absence of odor cannot be compromised, you either smell it or you don't. Though the tolerance of the strength of smell is adapted through the cultural capital of the individual, one cannot reject smell (sans hyposmia and anosmia people).
We justified our main aim in utilizing sense of smell as an installation that is idealized to emit through dependence on the very people that interact with it.
More Research into Smell
We looked upon more research to give ourselves a better understanding into the uncharted territory of smell.
Mystery of the Sense [Smell]
The video listed above talks about smell in pertinence to the human body. One interesting perspective from the video is the human race's tendency to "shy away from the person's scent (natural odor); yet creating odors to lure someone special (perfumes)".
The video also explains the biological sequence of how smell is collected and triggered through the olfactory bulb within the system of a being.
Perhaps due to the date filmed (1995), many interpretations were rather biased, but the video still provided us necessary information of how the sense of smell can be described.

SENSE OF SMELL is an international co-creation and research project. The ideas of smell is being interpreted more artistically and more emotionally.
Through really artistic works, Smell is re-represented and re-interpreted in various artistic directions such as installations, artistic exhibitions and products.

(Article)
This article is shared to us by Ker Siang (thanks professor!). The article follows Sissel Tolaas who was behind controversial art experiences such as recreating the sick smells of World War I.
One particular quote that caught our attention by Sissel from the article is:
"Every nano-part of this planet emits a smell – there is no such thing as a 'clear' smell," Tolaas says. But the world is full of false smells, which mask the true, natural odours that we deem to be repulsive. "We live in a world that sanitises, deodorises, masks. Certain smells need to be there, but … reality is covered up on so many levels – so many commercial products cover up what is really out there and mask it."
-Sissel Tolaas , 2016
All in all, the researches done were to give us more impetus in tackling the subject matter of smell. We looked at both the scientific and artistic notion of smell. Through these, we have more inspirations for our deliverable.
Ideals of the Poignant
'Poignant' defines both a pungent stench, as well as the arousement of strong mental sensation.
We feel for the word as it expresses similar direction in which we are projecting towards our outcome.
We want our outcome to evoke a emotion through the scent collected to the people of NTU.
To justify the fundamental of smell as primitive form, our subjects has to create a notion of intuitiveness in interacting with our outcome, therefore our idea lies in utilizing the capture of scent through the human notion of tactile trajectory.
More to follow in the upcoming post.

Q: How to find the range of values for the function $f(x) = 1/x + 4/(1-x)$ I know that the domain is $(0,1)$ since $x$ can't be $0$ or $1$.
But I have tried to solve the range of this function without any success.
Can anyone please show me how I should think when solving a problem like this?
Thanks!

A: In these types of questions it helps to analyze the function separately for disjoint intervals of the domain. Clearly, $x\ne0,1$ so the domain is $\Bbb R\setminus\{0,1\}$. That is to say, $x$ takes any real value but $0,1$.
For $x\in(-\infty,0)$, the function is continuous and differentiable. We need to find the minimum and maximum of $f$ in this interval, so equate the first derivative to $0$. This gives$$\frac1{x^2}=\frac4{(1-x)^2}\implies x=1/3,-1$$The point of interest is $-1$ at which $f$ obtains its maximum value of $1$ on $(-\infty,0)$. There is no minimum since $f(x)\to-\infty$ as $x\to0^-$.
Similarly analyze the function over $(0,1)$ and $(1,\infty)$. For the former, $f$ takes minimum value of $9$ at $x=1/3$ but no maximum exists since $f\to\infty$ as $x\to0^+$. For $(1,\infty)$, there is no minimum or maximum since $f\in(-\infty,0)$. Your range is the union$$(-\infty,1]\cup[9,\infty)\cup(-\infty,0)=(-\infty,1]\cup[9,\infty)=\Bbb R\setminus(1,9)$$

A: For the case of real numbers, the range comes out to be as shown in the image :

As said in the comments section earlier, if $0 <x <1$, then you can directly apply Titu's lemma to get the answer as shown:
$1/x + 4/(1-x) \geq (1+2)^2 =9$

A: Let $f$ be given by
$$
f(x) = \frac{1}{x} + \frac{4}{1-x}
\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad
\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad
$$

The domain of $f$ is the set of all real numbers other than $0$ or $1$.

To find the range of $f$ set
$$
y=\frac{1}{x} + \frac{4}{1-x}
\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad\;\;\;\;
$$
and solve for $x$ in terms of $y$.

\begin{align*}
\text{Then}\;\;&y=\frac{1}{x} + \frac{4}{1-x}\\[4pt]
\iff\;&yx^2+(3-y)x+1=0\;\;\text{and}\;\;x\not\in\{0,1\}\\[4pt]
\iff\;&yx^2+(3-y)x+1=0\\[4pt]
\iff\;&
\left(y=0\;\,\text{and}\;\,x=-{\small{\frac{1}{3}}}\right)
\;\;\text{or}\;\;
\left(
y\ne 0
\;\,\text{and}\;\,
x=\frac
{(y-3)\pm\sqrt{y^2-10y+9}}{2y}
\right)
\\[4pt]
\end{align*}
hence the only restriction on $y$ is the inequality $y^2-10y+9\ge 0$, or equivalently, $(y-1)(y-9)\ge 0$.

It follows that the range of $f$ is $(-\infty,1]\cup [9,\infty)$.


I admit it, I can be a terrible blogger. I find that I get too caught up with too many things at one time and lose track of too many things. New Years is coming up and yes, it will be one of many resolutions for 2013.
So where have I been in the absence of 74 days? What have I been doing?
Let me mention some names: Berlin, Meißen, London, Wrocław and now I'm back in Fredericia/Herslev/Kolding (Denmark). These are the places I have visited since October 15, 2012. 76 days ago. I know I have still got about 7 months left in Europe (though approximately 3-4 weeks I'll be in hiatus in the US) but I feel already so blessed to have seen so many different and interesting areas.
I suppose it only makes sense to describe my trip chronologically then.
I only spent two days in Berlin, and most of the time I felt lost. In comparison to Leipzig, it's much bigger, with many more people. The city is very spread out and very often seems like a hodgepodge of culture, art, fashion and well, history as well. I suppose that this is it's appeal, and I very much enjoyed the eccentricity though I am looking forward to going back again when it's warmer (it was much to grey during the first week of November). Also, kneipes (pub-like areas) are experienced better in the sun and warmth.
I travelled with a group of 13 Erasmus friends, who are from all over Europe. We are all studying at University of Leipzig and so often travel together. As it was my first time in Berlin, I wanted to see the most important sights and figured I would come back to visit the museums, galleries and other cultural institutions.
Unter den Linden is a boulevard filled with numerous historic buildings which of course we took the time to see. Brandenburger Tor along with Alexanderplatz was another area obvious to visit. You can see other things worthy of seeing here. I'll most likely be reusing this later. Throughout the day, we walked around all of Berlin, the premise being to go to the Jewish museum, which was only supposed to be a informational point. After some miscommunication a group of 7 of us ended up across the city at the National Jewish Museum which, though not inteded was still an interesting sight. On Saturday night we went out to a club which was in an abandoned church (I believe) and even though it was a week after Halloween, Berlin was still celebrating. It was great fun, consisted of three or four different rooms with different types of music. No wonder so many clubs are open until late morning. On Sunday morning a good friend of mine Camilla took us to the weekly weekend outdoor flea market which was huge and filled many goodies. And without a doubt, we saw the wall!
Oh Berlin, we'll be back!
London called and I flew over from Leipzig. A friend of mine invited me to come with her as she wanted to visit her sister who lives outside of London. We went for three days, one afternoon was spent in Bedford, Sunday in London, Monday in Cambridge and on Tuesday morning we were on our way back 'home'.
As I originally come from New York City, it was wonderful to go back to the quick-paced, robustness of a major metropolitan area. Though I really enjoy living in a smaller city like Leipzig, there is something exceptional about the rush I encounter or encountered in London. I really loved how spread out it was and how separated certain parts of the city were. Joanna and I walked all days and still only saw the most important things. Again, like in Berlin, we weren't able to go to any museums or galleries because we only had a few hours just to explore. But we did it anyway and felt like I had really seen so much. We were extremely lucky with the weather Sunday morning, blue skies and only some wind until noon. The rain didn't come down until about 7 in the evening which seems like a success to me, considering what I was imagining. My impressions of London? I loved it. It's a huge city but it's much cleaner than NYC. I wasn't too fond of the prices (so I suppose it was good we were only there for a day) and there were tons of foreigners. I giggled a bit at the English accent though secretly envying it. I loved all the little shops I kept finding when we got out of the center and yes, I hate the tube. Perhaps it's my claustrophobia but it was incredibly crowded, insanely small and just too round for my taste. But on the other hand, it was very easy to go around and super quick. And it's always better to look at the positives.
On Monday we headed out to Cambridge, an hour away from Bedford. Though before we did, Joanna and I made a quick pit stop at Primark, a smaller version of Forever 21. The weather was grey and somewhat rainy. Our trip over to Cambridge took a bit longer than expected. Many of the little rivers in small towns had flooded, blocking roads which meant that it took longer for cars to get through traffic. When we arrived in Cambridge, we walked over to the main campus of the university and then proceeded to get lunch. After recharging with a cappuccino, we set out for the city centre. As we had no city map with us we relied on street signs and directions, which made adventuring much more spontaneous. We saw all the colleges of the university and walked down all the little alleys on the way. Joanna and I also did some more shopping and I acquired a beautiful Cambridge satchel.
Wrocław, my most spontaneous trip thus far. I decided to go the day before, once someone had dropped out. It was also just for a weekend and for 40 Euros, including train fare and hostel, I couldn't pass it up. Another reason was that I had actually never been to Wrocław and it would be really nice to be in a country where I am fluent in the language.
Like with every trip, there was lots of walking and exploring of the city. Of course it had to be on a weekend where it was approximately -5 degrees Celsius during the day. As the city was a former part of Germany, traditions like the Weihnachtsmarkt (Christmas markets) still remain, and so we explored them as well. Our of 19 students, there were 4 of us that were native Polish speakers and we wanted to have people learn about Polish culture, food and traditions. We first took them to a Pierogarnia which is a restaurant that primarily serves pierogies, Polish-style dumplings. I of course got my favorite, potato, cheese and onion. They weren't as great as my grandmothers but it was definitely delicious. After that there was more walking around the city centre and basking in the lights.
One of 212 dwarves around the city!


The membership is 12.49usd = 877 IndianRupee then why is the price showinh 1050inr? Is there a reason for extra price ?
Hahh, too late. Spent like hundreds dollars in the past 2 months.
jumpgurl The reason for this is that filling in the "About You" field requires you to fill it with exactly 200 characters. After several attempts, I then had 183 characters as the sufficient amount to complete the task successfully.
jumpgurl yeah mine is 90% too and J can write anything else, now what ?????? If we don't complete it we don't get the ss but THERE IS NO WAY TO COMPLETE IT !!!!!! It's that a BUG??.
I want someone from the legal 'law ' department why my published book was stolen and re posted by someone on webnovel? I already sent millions of reports and emails but I get no reply at all!
I do own the copyright and I'm the original owner of the novel that was published on webnovel under the name ' arrogant lover ' and he or she dared to write it under fanfiction and wrote down my name as the original author. I didn't give him/her an written permission to publish my work. And I informed my publihsing company 'stary Pte Ltd ' dreame and ficfun by that issue. The company reserve the digital copyright already.
I want that book to be taken down now!
Bosy_Elselhdar can't you send dmca or something?
How do you read locked chapters now? There's no unlock button there. It only says the amount of spirit stones to be paid. There's only the membership button at the bottom of the page. I'm trying to read (spare me, Great lord) Chapter 305.
Dark_cloud47 sorry to ask, are you using android or ios. for Android, I saw it either "subscribe to read" or "unlock(cost 7ss)".
Dark_cloud47 i have the same problem with you. There's no button to unlock chapters.
Yuki_Qing I'm using iOS. It say 7SS then there's a button saying (Subscribe to read free).
Dr_Zombie Wait?! Oh yes! It's easy for the company to act like that! I sent the evidence to that email already even so he or she Wrote down my name as original author. if you take a look at that being published under fan fiction and asked him/her if she had a written permission from the author or not. You will find A BIG NO! ... BUT yes, My publishing company would love to deal with that legally.
he didn't stole one book only, but two.
Dark_cloud47 I see, maybe webnovel apps for ios got a problem (guessing).
just suggestion, why don't you try post this issue to the forum, tag report bug/question and tag webnovel mod/developer.
then he should be calm down as well because he had to pay me for 16 k reads for that book! it's published book! people pay money to read already! Not for free reading or posting.
You already created a Thread about it, spam multiple novels that had no relation with your current situation just because the "thief" post a comment on it and flood a normal diss instead of waiting. You are quite unlucky for being targeted like that, but you're not the center of the world. Continuing to just disturb innocent readers for nothing instead of patiently waiting for an update from Webnovel is stupid.
I saw that a mod already replied to you and asked to send a DMCA (something that I suppose you have done). Now, maybe it will be taken care quickly or maybe not, but to flood of messages another discussion is not the way to do things.
As for your last message about paying to read your book, not the smartest move either. This type of thing just incites even more people to mess with your work, especially in the current days where many complain about premium novels. So I advise you to tone down on that, before your entire work end up in a subreddit, easily visible for anyone to read it for free. It's true that you work and are contracted for your books, but you don't have to say it that way.
Looks like the book got taken down. Sorry to hear someone did that to your work, though unfortunately, it seems fairly common in the day and age of piracy.
If it makes you feel any better, those 16k views are not really 16k reads, as that's not how views work on this website. A view occurs whenever someone looks at the book's webpage, so 16k reads would only mean the page had been opened 16k times. And for this website, if a reader only reads 1 chapter, then comes back hours later to read another, and so forth, then each time it would count as a view. 16k views on this website is very little, and I'd dare to guess only a couple hundred people might have actually read it. Those that did read also probably weren't the types to buy books, as not many readers on this website are willing to pay for books. This doesn't really make the situation any better, but just thought I'd let you know.
Innovation MULTIPLE NOVELS?! IT'S TRANSLATED NOVELS BY THE SAME AUTHOR WHO IS NOT A REAL AUTHOR AND KEEP PUBLISHING MY STOLEN WORK!
HE JUST STEAL OTHERS WORKS WITHOUT WRITTEN PERMISSION.
ARE YOU DEFENDING SOMEONE LIKE HIM? OR THAT'S HOW THAT WEBSITE WORK?!
Bosy_Elselhdar Well, I can understand how you feel about your stolen works and I really am sorry to hear that.
But the situation I am seeing now is you shout "THIEF !!!" and its companion of thugs are yelling back at you for "You are so loud and we are annoyed. So go else where. If you shout again, things may be stolen again and give away for free. Maybe your thing was stolen because of your shout."
Its looks funny for outsiders as me but so disturbing as a society.
I'd suggest go catch thief with polices and don't mess with thugs and waste your time.
Bosy_Elselhdar I think Webnovel should pay more attention to what's published under 'Fanfiction' or 'Original'. Someone is doing the same thing to "Long Live Summons". It's like Webnovel don't even bother to find what's being published on their own site. How can Webnovel complain about piracy when they are allowing it to happen here?
Go be annoying elsewhere. I'm tired of reading about your stolen book. At this point I truly hope someone posts your entire novel on Reddit for free. The way you are acting, it would be a great ending.

His best known roles in film are Boris in the Yolki series and as Danila in Lucky Trouble. Between 2012 and 2022 he has hosted Evening Urgant, a late-night talk show, which was suspended in February 2022 after Urgant expressed his opposition to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. According to the 2008 and 2011 surveys, Urgant is Russia's most popular TV presenter. He is the chairman of the board of trustees of the Friends Charitable Foundation.

Biography

Early life
Ivan Urgant was born in Leningrad, Russian SFSR, USSR into a family of actors, the son of Andrei Urgant and Valeriya Kiseleva. His paternal grandparents were actors Nina Urgant and Lev Milinder. His Estonian surname Urgant comes from Nina's father, Nikolai Andreyevich Urgant, a NKVD Major from Luga and a son of Räpina-born Hindrik Urgand. He is of mixed Russian, Estonian, and Jewish heritage. About a year after Ivan's birth the family separated. After his parents broke up, he lived with his mother and stepfather - Leningrad actor Dmitri Ladygin.

Ivan studied at the Leningrad Children's Music School No. 18, at the Gymnasium at the State Russian Museum. He graduated from Saint Petersburg State Theatre Arts Academy. After receiving his acting education, Ivan did not engage in theater as the main profession. He worked as a waiter, bartender, and then as a host in nightly shows in clubs. In 2018, it was reported he had taken Israeli citizenship.

Career
In 1999, Urgant managed to get a job at the St. Petersburg radio stations. In addition, he appeared on television, was the host of the program Petersburg Courier on 5TV. Later, he was moved to Moscow and continued his career on the radio - first on Russian Radio, and then on "Hit-FM."

In May 2001, Ivan first appeared on Moscow television, on the television channel MTV Russia. He received an invitation to a casting at a time when Olga Shelest and Anton Komolov were looking for a couple of hosts to team up with on the show Cheerful Morning. Since 2002, after the departure of the original team of VJs of "MTV Russia", he began to host the programs Total Show and Expresso.

From 2003 to 2005 he was involved in a number of TV projects on the Russia-1: he was the host of TV show People's Artist and Pyramid. He has been working on Channel One since 2005. At the moment, Ivan is a TV presenter in the programs Smak, Evening Urgant and Prozhektorperiskhilton. Also he often conducts award ceremonies.

Starting from 2006, Urgant has appeared with Vladimir Pozner in the travel documentary series titled Travels of Pozner and Urgant.

In 2007, 2009, 2010 (2), 2011, 2014, 2015 and 2016, Urgant was awarded TEFI.

On 16 May 2009, he presented the finale of the 2009 Eurovision Song Contest with former Russian Eurovision participant Alsou. In December 2017, Urgant was one of the hosts of the 2018 FIFA World Cup Team Draw Show, with Gary Lineker and Maria Komandnaya.

On 24 February 2022, he posted "No to War" on his Instagram account following the invasion of Ukraine by Russia after which his late-night programme was taken off-air. It was reported that he left Russia for Israel with his wife on the 11 March.

Other ventures
From 2011, Urgant owns a restaurant The Sad (; "Garden") together with Aleksandr Tsekalo in Moscow. He has been a board member and co-owner of the elite real estate agency "W1Evans" since 2016.
