Srinagar, Oct 5: Terming the views expressed by Governor S P Malik, in an interview to Indian Express, about ground situation in strife torn state as most realistic, Chairman PDF Hakeem Yaseen has urged the need for devising a practicable roadmap to rectify mistakes committed by the Center in past which have been the root causes of simmering alienation.
In a statement, Hakeem Yaseen has welcomed the views expressed by the Governor S P Malik about the Kashmir situation adding that it was for the first time when a responsible representative of Centre, not less than a Governor, has himself admitted mistakes while handling the Kashmir situation. He said need of the hour was to devise a roadmap to rectify all wrong doings so as to restore lost faith and trust among the people of the state. He said Kashmir problem cannot be solved through military might but dialogue and reconciliation and providing a healing touch to the turmoil hit people of the state. He has hailed Governor for sharing concern of the people of state about Art.35-A and Art.370 and his assurance "there is nothing to worry about, and these are issues raised due to political reasons." He has also hailed the assertion of Governor that "he was in favour of wiping militancy and not militants" adding that such a kind of humanistic thinking would go a long way in bringing derailed socio-political situation of the state back on rails.
Hakeem Yaseen has hoped that Governor would take concrete and effective steps, in accordance with his views, expressed in the interview about Kashmir situation so that blunders committed in past are rectified earnestly.
Meanwhile, Hakeem Yaseen has strongly condemned killing of two civilians in Karfali Mohalla Srinagar by gunmen adding that killing of unarmed civilans, in any way of, was against the tenets of all religions.
Hakeem Yaseen has conveyed his heartfelt sympathies with the bereaved families and prayed for eternal peace to the departed soul.


Here's an illustration I recently created for Northern Woodlands magazine. It accompanies an article that describes the ways in which lumber mills are reusing wood byproducts. Various applications for the residual saw dust and wood shavings produced in these mills include biomass fuel, livestock bedding, paper mills, mulch, pellet mills, and heating fuel for the mills themselves. The illustration required an informal approach to a relatively technical process. Thanks to Patrick White at Northern Woodlands magazine for the fun project!

Q: How to synchronize two tables of different MySQL databases on the same machine? I have 2 different databases, let say db_one and db_two. Each one has a table. db1_emp_company and db2_emp_info respectively.
Structure is given below:
db_one           |    db_two
__________________________________
db1_emp_company  |    db2_emp_info
__________________________________
phone_no         |    contact_no
emp_email        |    email_add
home_address     |    address

These two databases are hosted by two different php websites on the same server.
I want to synchronize these both tables of different databases. For example if a user update the phone_no of db1_emp_company (in db_one) it should update the contact_no of the db2_emp_info (in db_two). And if a user update the emp_email of db1_emp_company (in db_one)it should update the email_add of db2_emp_info (in db_two). and so on.
Is it possible?

A: For this purpose you can use transactions.
$mysql_host                 = DB_HOST;
$mysql_username             = DB_USER;
$mysql_password             = DB_PASSWORD;
$mysql_database1            = DATABASE1;
$mysql_database2            = DATABASE2;

$mysqli = new mysqli($mysql_host, $mysql_username, $mysql_password) or die( mysql_error());

/*  Begin Transaction   */
$mysqli->autocommit(FALSE);

/*  Insert data from db1 to db2 */
$query  =  "    INSERT INTO $mysql_database1.table1";

$a  =   $mysqli->query($query);

$query  =  "    INSERT INTO $mysql_database1.table2
            SELECT
                *
            FROM $mysql_database2.table2
            WHERE NOT EXISTS(SELECT * from $mysql_database1.table2)
";
$d  =   $mysqli->query($query);

if ($a and $b)
{
    $mysqli->commit();
    echo "Data synched successfully.";
} else {

    $mysqli->rollback();
    echo "Data failed to synch.";
}

If one query fails it will not allow the other to run and will roll back. This is only example code. You can use update instead of insert.

A: You can do like this:
On updating db_one table in site1:
 update `db_one`.`db1_emp_company` set phone_no = '1234567890' where conditions_here;
 update `db_two`.`db2_emp_info` set contact_no = '1234567890' where conditions_here;

Same thing in db_two:
 update `db_two`.`db2_emp_info` set contact_no = '1234567890' where conditions_here; #Its a same thing as above
 update `db_one`.`db1_emp_company` set phone_no = '1234567890' where conditions_here;

If you post your code which is used for updating things. It will be helpful to give exact answer.

A: You can use mysqldiff for this issue. Check this page: http://www.mysqldiff.org/index.php

What are the pros/cons of the driving routes to Skye from Inverness - northern route via Garve, A835, A832, A890 vs southern route via Invermoriston, A82, A887, A87?
What recommended spots to see/hike/bike while in Skye 5 days in late Sept (for relatively fit +50 year olds, who are lodging near Dunvegan)?
You must visit Dunvegan Castle and its gardens. Also the Fairy Pools.
also an interesting Raasay cycling trip.
I too am going to Skye for a short break at the end of September and very much looking forward to it. May the weather be good!! Another famous landmark is the Old Man of Storr. It seems to be a bit of a more challenging walk to get there than to the fairy pools.
Regarding the route you describe from Inverness via Garve, it is now part of the new North Coast 500 route and it will be stunning scenery. It is the same distance as travelling via Loch Ness (also very nice but busier) and takes the same time - just short of 2 hours.
I had to register just to comment... we took a wrong turn whilst trying to view Eilean Donan Castle and ended up at the last turntable ferry in the UK.
If you google it (as I can't post links yet), it goes from Glenelg to Skye and was very short but an amazing experience.
We both recommend it a lot and still talk about it now.


There have been definite ups and downs but My Hero, the end of the current arc of Sword Art Online: Alicization certainly delivered in every way. This is the fight we've been waiting over twenty episodes to see, the final showdown between Kirito and Quinella. Somehow, Kirito is able to morph into his first season look before the fight begins. It seems appropriate that Kirito would slide back into his 'Black Swordsman' attire; it shows how serious he is about ending this once and for all.
Quinella, for her part, proves to be a skilled fighter, and provides a surprise when she not only repels Kirito's attacks but responds with several of her own. It's not mentioned, but assumed that she uses sword skills from Aincrad (Asuna used rapier attacks) to try and get inside Kirito's head. What's really cool is to see Kirito wielding two swords again; it's an iconic look and something we haven't seen Kirito do in a long time. This is a good look at the old sword fighting Kirito that had to fight to stay alive in Aincrad, the Kirito who would kill to protect those he loved. There is a pretty shocking moment when Kirito loses an arm, but the blood is kept to a minimum, compared to other episodes. At the end though, Kirito wins out and fatally wounds Quinella at last. It's a very satisfying moment, since our heroes have been trying to kill her for several episodes now.
Then comes the first big twist of the episode: Quinella opens a terminal and reveals that she is planning on going to the real world where the fight will continue. But before she can leave the Underworld...Chudelkin, supposedly dead, appears out of nowhere and latches onto the pontifex, begging to go with her. His intrusion, ironically enough, destroys them both, or at least that's how it appears. There is a heartbreaking scene afterward when Eugeo finally dies. It's really sad to see him go as he's one of the best characters this series has produced.
That's nothing, however, compared to the final twist in the episode, the last before the series goes on an extended break. Using Quinella's terminal, Kirito is finally able to make contact with the outside world, something he's wanted since the day he arrived in the Underworld. The problem is, the first thing he hears on the other side is gunfire. We're jolted back to the real world to discover that the Ocean Turtle is under attack by a heavily armed force. Kikuoka is trying to give Kirito instructions but there's very little time. A panicked technician informs Kikuoka that the electrical lines are being cut, which would cause a power surge and short out the pod Kirito's body is recovering in! The last thing we see is Kirito's body flickering in and out while Asuna seemingly appears out of nowhere.
What does it all mean? It's hard to say for certain. It looks like Kirito is in real danger of dying, but what does that vision of Asuna mean? Based on that quick look, it appeared she was wearing her season one outfit. So this could simply be a figment of his imagination since he's dying. One thing is for sure, there is plenty to think about while the series is on hiatus. Hopefully, when the show returns, Kirito will somehow be alive and well.

Let the Training Begin: MTC Transfer Pricing Audits Draw Near
By McDermott Will & Emery, Diann Smith, Eric Carstens and Stephen P. Kranz on Mar 6, 2015
Posted In Income Tax, Nationwide Importance, North Carolina, Tax Base, Transfer Pricing
Deputy Executive Director Greg Matson (a nice guy at heart) announced this week that the Multistate Tax Commission (MTC) has hired its first transfer pricing training consultant and is scheduled to begin training state auditors. The training, titled "Identifying Related Party Issues in Corporate Tax Audits" will be hosted by the North Carolina Department of Revenue from March 31 to April 1, 2015 in Raleigh, North Carolina. While the much anticipated Arm's Length Adjustment Service (ALAS, discussed in more depth in our February 6, 2015 blog post, available here) is still pending approval of the MTC Executive Committee and ratification at the annual meeting this summer, it has not stopped MTC officials from moving forward with training state auditors on transfer pricing. This training (and any subsequent training offered before the annual meeting) will be conducted as part of the MTC's "regular training" schedule (and is not directly tied to the ALAS program since authority to train for that program has not vested). Nonetheless, Executive Director Joe Huddleston made it clear in a recent letter to the states that "[t]his course will preview the training to be provided through the Arm's-Length Adjustment Service."
The kickoff training session at the end of this month will be conducted by former Internal Revenue Service Office of Chief Counsel senior economic advisor, Ednaldo Silva. He is the founder of RoyaltyStat LLC, one of the transfer pricing consulting firms that is being considered by the MTC to provide their services for the ALAS. During yesterday's teleconference of the ALAS Advisory Group, Matson and Huddleston were optimistic that additional training sessions would be offered by the MTC before the ALAS is finalized. It remains to be seen whether this training will be offered by Silva or another participant from the October 2014 Advisory Group meeting that has submitted a bid to be the contract firm for the ALAS. Because these trainings are a fundamental threshold step to commencing ALAS audits (projected to begin December 2015), they provide a strong signal that the MTC is optimistic that they will have sufficient support from the states to continue the ALAS program.
Too Soon?
In a letter distributed to 46 states and Washington, D.C. in February 2015, the MTC officially solicited state commitments to the ALAS program. States were given until the end of March 2015 to respond. By the terms of the ALAS proposal, the MTC will need a commitment from at least seven states for the program to move forward. MTC officials announced at yesterday's Advisory Group teleconference that the current count is zero (with one state declining). While there is still time to respond, several revenue department officials voiced concern about making a commitment without more detailed estimates of costs. Others voiced uncertainty about the ability to enter into a contract for such a long period under state law (the program requests that each state commit to four years). While there was no significant undertone of opposition to [...]
MTC Puts Designs on Increasing State Transfer Pricing Revenues
By Diann Smith and Stephen P. Kranz on Feb 6, 2015
Posted In Income Tax, Transfer Pricing
This past December, the Multistate Tax Commission's (MTC) transfer pricing advisory committee and its project facilitator Dan Bucks recommended what it calls the "preliminary design" approach for a proposed Arm's Length Adjustment Services (ALAS) program. While still subject to approval, states already anticipate that the program will increase their state transfer pricing revenues.
The MTC ALAS is an attempt to bring to state governments a comprehensive and coordinated program to address income shifting and the loss of state tax revenues, much along the lines of what the United States and other foreign governments have been trying to do, most recently in their Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) initiative. The ALAS program is intended to address both interstate income shifting, which is never addressed at the federal level, and international income shifting, which the MTC believes is massively under-audited at the federal level. According to some estimates, state revenue losses from transfer pricing total as high as $20 billion a year.
Fundamental to the preliminary design will be the hiring of a mix of MTC in-house and contract consulting expertise for advanced economic and technical analysis of taxpayer-provided transfer pricing studies, including providing alternative recommendations to taxpayer positions. This approach (in contrast to a fully outsourced or in-house approach) recognizes the highly specialized and interdisciplinary nature of transfer pricing analysis, and the need to both quickly and effectively address and resolve immediate cases, as well as to build the capabilities and capacity (through training, information exchange, process improvements, etc.) to support state transfer pricing needs for the long-term.
Set to be voted on by the MTC's Executive Committee at its May meeting, the ALAS program would kick-off in July 2015 with the hiring of an in-house tax manager, followed shortly thereafter with the engagement of one or more private economic consulting firms and an in-house senior economist by the end of the year. The program would begin transfer pricing analyses by December 2015, with the completion of up to 18 joint economic studies by the end of 2017.
The focus of the initial stages of the ALAS approach will be on reviewing and analyzing the taxpayer's existing transfer pricing study—questioning, critiquing and (re)-computing the taxpayer's results– rather than attempting to re-create the transfer price whole cloth. The effect is likely to produce a more rigorous, sophisticated and traditional analysis, one that paradoxically is likely to corroborate those taxpayer studies that are both thorough and orthodox in their approach, but at the same time pose a serious challenge to those that are not.
To the extent taxpayers don't have formal documentation, they would be well-served to get it, or at least develop external third party benchmarks to corroborate their cross-border intercompany pricing.
The MTC's proposed ALAS program is quite ambitious, not only in terms of its operational goals and timing, but also in its conception. Preliminary or not, the programs' combination of outside expert consultants with coordinated state resources, should cause taxpayers to reexamine the "designs" of their state transfer pricing [...]

Bobby Womack: Facts Of Life
BOBBY WOMACK: FACTS OF LIFE (1973)
1) Nobody Wants You When You're Down And Out; 2) I'm Through Trying To Prove My Love To You; 3) If You Can't Give Her Love Give Her Up; 4) That's Heaven To Me; 5) Holdin' On To My Baby's Love / Nobody; 6) Facts Of Life / He'll Be There When The Sun Goes Down; 7) Can't Stop A Man In Love; 8) The Look Of Love; 9) Natural Man; 10) All Along The Watchtower.
Back from soundtrack territory to regular LP turf again, Bobby tosses off another fine batch of tunes — nothing particularly spectacular, just some more of that solid, believable, classy-sounding soul stuff that seemed to come so easily to him in the early 1970s. By now, it was obvious that he would not be remembered as a major visionary or innovator of Stevie Wonder's caliber, but his interest in «minor» experiments and production twists still kept him miles ahead of many, if not most, competitors in the same genre.
For instance, how many people would be able to come up with the idea of redoing the old Jimmy Cox standard ʽNobody Wants You When You're Down And Out' as a funk-pop number, with a nasty bassline and proto-disco strings? Nothing whatsoever, except for the lyrics, is left over from the original in the process, but hey, good idea — the song is about internal turmoil and pissed-off disillusionment, and why not strengthen these feelings with a bit of a funky tempest? Perhaps the mix is not clever enough to let us fully appreciate Bobby's electric guitar parts (too eclipsed by the overriding brass), but fairly strong all the same.
Another example — who would dare take ʽ(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman', so closely associated with Carole King and Aretha, and turn it into ʽNatural Man'? Well, apparently a little-known R&B singer called Fred Hughes got the start on Bobby five years earlier, but, from what limited amount of his songs I have heard, Fred sported a bit of a «womanly» image, following in the shoes of Clyde McPhatter and Smokey Robinson, whereas Womack was totally «virile», and this kind of gender turnaround might have been seen as risqué by some of his fans. Yet his vocal parts are totally credible, as he'd already cut his teeth on reinterpreting stuff like ʽClose To You' — and, for that matter, they also inspired Rod Stewart to repeat the venture on his own cover, recorded for the Smiler sessions a year later. (Not sure of whether this should be used as a positive argument — Smiler wasn't that hot a record, but at least he still had Ronnie Wood by his side at the time, and the decline process was not yet irreversible).
More questionable is Bobby's decision to put his own stamp on ʽAll Along The Watchtower', where he takes the Hendrix version for default and dares to offer his own guitar playing, heavily wah-wahed and double-tracked, for comparison. The final results are good, but there is a reason, after all, why Jimi is revered as a visionary guitar player and Bobby is not — Jimi's fire comes out of ingeniously tuned firethrowers, while Bobby's fire is satisfied with steady crackling in the hearth: the song has no dynamics, and is in danger of becoming boring already after the first minute, especially if it is hard for you to erase the Jimi comparison from your head.
Concerning originals, there are relatively few here: ʽHe'll Be There When The Sun Goes Down', a rhythmic, lush-string-drenched ballad of the Al Green variety, is probably the best of the lot, just because the string groove seems unusually complex and emotional, and, most importantly, it falls well in line with the song's lyrical vibe. It actually begins as a long spoken piece (title track), where Bobby, a little tongue-tied and confused, explains that his contract does not allow him to keep a steady relationship — so "don't get hung up on me, cause tomorrow I might be gone on down the road". The strings help carry on this subtle mix of romance and loneliness, even if the message itself is sorta questionable, but then, as long as he ain't justifying date rapes or anything, the man has a right to defend his lifestyle of one-night stands, and the music here is an excellent soundtrack for a one-night stand if you're sick and tired of family values or anything.
Most of the other songs, be they originals or covers, do not submit themselves to comments that easily — I could rave on about how wonderfully deep and tender I find ʽThat's Heaven To Me', but it's a rather faithful Sam Cooke cover, and should rather be discussed in a Sam Cooke context. In any case, it all sounds good; my only problem with Facts Of Life is that it goes a bit too far in the «soft» direction, with only the first and last track rocking out with decisiveness — and all the ballads and melodic upbeat R&B numbers are starting to fall together after a while. But it's not as if this problem did not exist before, be it with Bobby or a million other serious, hard-working artists, and it ain't no reason to deprive the album of another thumbs up — if only because, given the musical climate of the time, the age of the artist, the original talent, and the good sense of taste, it would be hard to imagine how Facts Of Life could be anything but not a «solid» album, at least. Maybe if he'd been impressed by Barry White's early singles...

June 26, 2018—Endemol Shine Boomdog, a division of Endemol Shine North America, is developing original culinary series "Origenes," featuring three of the top chef's in the world exploring their Latin American gastronomic roots.
"Origenes" features acclaimed Argentinian chef Mauro Colagreco, Peru's Virgilio Martinez and Mexico's Jorge Vallejo—who own and run Latin American restaurants all ranked in the top 50 of the 2017 World's Best Restaurants in the World list. The series will be directed by Emmy and James Beard award-winning filmmaker Jesse Roesler.
Sergio Pizzolante, who is Managing Partner of C&T Mobs Agency and formerly GM of E! Networks Latin America, will serve as Executive Producer. Pizzolante is also serving as an executive producer on Endemol Shine Boomdog's upcoming drama series "Nicky Jam: El Ganador." Nidal Barake, founder of Gluttonomy, and Sergio Gomez, will also serve as executive producers.
"'Origenes' will take viewers on a ride across Latin America like no other, exploring the region's food origins with three of the top chef's in the world," says Endemol Shine Boomdog CEO Alejandro Rincon.

Unlawful Acts of Fornication and Adultery 17:32
Do not enter activities with women other than with lawful intent. Indeed this unlawful action is hideous and a derogation.
G-d has made everyone pure and chaste from his or her beginning in life. Human beings should never exceed the limitation set by G'd, concerning the opposite gender. When dealing with other than spouses, the relationships should be platonic.
There is a lot to be said if one's intentions towards others are not pure. When this happens, one will find someone's thinking has gone awry - licentiousness has entered the mind. Which will render that person as an adulterer or a fornicator? Simply because of where their minds have gone – usually, it is in search of something forbidden. Even if they do not commit the act physically, only mentally.
That kind of person could be a beggar or a pillar in the community. Yet he or she may never question their conduct, nor if their hedonism is affecting others.This type of behavior can not only destroy a family, but it could also destroy civilization. Especially if people uphold the rebel against decency - on the pretense that somehow it is alright because most in society are doing the same these days.
Those types of individuals' needs are to get in touch with how they feel about the laws of G-d. Because everyone is responsible for what he or she thinks and does. There is no escaping the laws G-d has given one to evolve good character. And no straddling the fence, with the best guidance G-d has provided for humanity. Which states to pray and guard oneself against unclean ideas altogether.

Essiac for Children: There are a few things you need to know.
Go here for essiac tea for infants and babies.
If your child weighs up to 15 lbs.
START WITH 1/2 oz. of tea per day. If tolerated well, WORK UP TO 1/2 oz. of tea twice per day.
If your child weighs 15-35 lbs.
START WITH 1/2 ounce twice per day. If tolerated well, WORK UP TO 1 ounce twice per day.
If your child weighs 35-55 lbs.
START WITH 1 ounce twice per day. If tolerated well, WORK UP TO 2 ounces twice per day.
If your child weighs 55-85 lbs.
START WITH 2 ounces twice per day. WORK UP TO 3 ounces twice per day.
START WITH 3 ounces twice per day. WORK UP TO 3 ounces three times per day.
*One potential problem with large doses for children is the fact that they can be more susceptible to diarrhea. Due to this reason, the recommendation that a large dose of essiac be taken must be balanced against the downside of too much diarrhea. If you start out with a conservative dose as noted in the chart and build up the dose if the child shows no sign of a problem, you have a better chance of the child adapting to a higher dose. Through experimentation, you'll need to find the level of essiac dosage that works best. The diarrhea, although unpleasant, should not be uncontrollable and is a sign of detoxification. If tolerated, it should dissipate with time.
Click here to order essiac in smaller 1 oz. packets which usually is the most convenient method when buying essiac for children.

Band Aid 30 - Do They Know It's Christmas
The first charity Band Aid single was in 1984 raising money for the people in Ethiopia who were struggling to survive a famine. The original 'Do They Know It's Christmas' spent 5 weeks at Number 1 and has sold 3.7m copies. Band Aid 2 came in 1989 holding on to the top spot for 3 weeks. The 3rd version came in 2004 when Band Aid 20 scored 4 consecutive weeks at Number 1. The 4th version comes 30 years after the first and this time raises money for the Ebola crisis in West Africa which has led to over 5,000 deaths up to the start of November. Sir Bob Geldof and Midge Ure who came up with the original Band Aid idea helped re-write some of the lyrics. Bono's U2 appears on a Band Aid song for the 3rd time, joined by Chris Martin, One Direction, Ed Sheeran, Ellie Goulding, Sam Smith and Emeli Sande.

The Red Door Spa opened its doors in the amazing Garden City Hotel on Thursday, Jan. 22. It was a stellar evening of paparazzi and on-site tours of the new spa as well as the hotel.
In a lavish ribbon-cutting ceremony at the start of the evening, attendees, surrounded by execs, including Chief Executive Officer Todd Walter from Red Door Spa Holdings and the Garden City Hotel, enjoyed the ambiance of the new 7,000-square-foot spa. The A-list guests experienced on-site interactive mini-spa treatments and a photo booth, along with champagne, wine, delicious cosmopolitans and passed hors d'oeuvres.
Soraiya Rajabali is the general manager of the new Red Door location in the lower level of the hotel. Hairstylist Natale and beauty advisor Gilsella D'Arpa were on hand to chat with guests and potential customers.
The hotel had been in negotiations with Red Door Spas for more than a year. There is already a Red Door Spa in Garden City on Franklin Avenue, which is a cherished bastion by most of Garden City society, as well as by nearby community belles. With the rebranding of the Elizabeth Arden Spa to the Red Door Spa, the company has taken pampering to the next level and created "Speed Services," which cater to the needs of the busy woman on the go. These services address the desired pampering females adore in the time frame of today's fast-paced world.
Jamessina Hille, director of marketing and public relations for the Garden City Hotel, said that this spa location is perfect for hotel guests who desire special treatment for themselves or the event they are planning. Romantic getaways for couples can include spa services and couple's massages. For weddings, the entire wedding party, as well as guests, can take advantage of the available services at the hotel location, and additional beauty needs can easily be accessed, without inconvenience to guests, at the nearby Franklin Avenue location.
The Garden City Hotel is historic. It was first constructed by Alexander Turney Stewart in 1874 and once encompassed the entire property where the hotel and The Wyndham condominiums now stand. The hotel originally had a nine-hole golf course attached to it, which is now the Garden City Country Club. The initial hotel burned to the ground in 1899. The current building is the fourth incarnation, built in 1983 by the late Myron Nelkin. The Garden City Hotel has just received a $30 million makeover and is currently owned by the Fortuna Realty Group, which is part of Preferred Hotels and Resorts. The hotel has been host to the Pierpoints and Morgans, as well as many world leaders, including John F. Kennedy, and Charles Lindbergh before his transatlantic flight to Paris, France.


Students for the Exploration and Development of Space at UCSD became the first undergraduate team in the world to successfully fire a rocket powered by a 3-D-printed engine on May 21. The 19-foot-tall rocket, called Vulcan-I, reached an altitude of nearly 10,000 feet during the launch at the Friends of Amateur Rocketry site in the Mojave Desert.
UCSD SEDS designed, developed and tested the technology for Vulcan-I over a span of about two years. The rocket was damaged while landing due to poor weather conditions and a parachute malfunction. However, team member Rohit Ghosh still considers the day a success.
Sixth College sophomore Darren Charrier, who is the organization's incoming president, also expressed pride in the team's ability and determination to fulfill its objective.
Charrier added that his organization's success is proof of concept that professional aerospace companies can implement this technology in their own rockets.
"If students at the undergraduate level could drive down the costs of building these engines, we could actually fly rockets and send up payload that is cheaper and more efficient," Charrier said.
The student organization raised over $22,000 for the Vulcan-I project through a Kickstarter campaign last spring and received support from sponsors such as NASA, Lockheed Martin and Qualcomm. The team's other projects include a static fire system for testing rocket engines called Colossus and a semi-autonomous cube satellite for deep space exploration called Triteia.


Using image analysis techniques (facial recognition) to combat Internet-facilitated wildlife trafficking.
Check out our project video for a quick project summary: https://vimeo.com/301107703 --------- The illegal trade of wildlife products is worth billions of US dollars annually. Increasingly, dealers and consumers are turning to Internet social media and e-commerce platforms to illegally sell and purchase (traffic) live exotic animals. Monitoring these platforms for trafficking-related posts can help disrupt the illegal trade in live wild animals, and possibly lead to prosecutions of traffickers. However, monitoring is expensive and difficult to do manually. Live great apes frequently fall victim to Internet-facilitated trafficking. Over 6,000 great apes have been trafficked from the wild since 2005, and a further 30,000 have died in capture-related activities. Researchers have identified hundreds of social media accounts displaying illegally traded great apes, and have manually searched millions of social media photographs for evidence of trafficking. However, this method is cumbersome and prone to error, as many individual great apes are similar in appearance, making them difficult to track through the online trade chain as well as susceptible to misidentification and/or double counting.
ChimpFace aims to use image analysis techniques (facial recognition) to identify photos on social media and e-commerece websites that are likely linked to trafficking-related activities. Suspicious posts will be flagged as possible trafficking and sent to a team of conservation experts for review. The initial phase of the project will focus on chimpanzees because of their importance to conservation, the frequency at which they appear for sale online, and the availability of large amounts of imagery. We will leverage both publicly available imagery dataset and images we have collected from chimpanzee conservation and research organizations to build a binary chimpanzee image classifier, and then deploy it to monitor social media posts. Depending on the number of posts that are flagged by the image analysis method, we may also add text-analysis to our method to down-select posts based on likely trafficking-related words or phrases (i.e. "chimp for sale").
There is a role for photographic evidence in criminal proceedings prosecuting wildlife traffickers.
Wildlife traffickers will continue to post pictures of live great apes (and other species) on Internet social media and e-commerce websites.
The global conservation, law enforcement, and technology communities will continue to prioritize and provide funding to combat wildlife trafficking.
Chimpanzees have unique facial features that can be recognized by properly designed facial recognition algorithm.
The wildlife conservation, law enforcement, and technology communities would like to more efficiently detect Internet-faciliated wildlife trafficking.
Internet-faciliated wildlife trafficking will continue to be a problem in the future.
1. The vastness of the Internet make monitoring for wildlife trafficking-related activities time consuming and tedious (it is like looking for a needle in a haystack. So many webpages to search!). ChimpFace will automate the search process, reducing the amount of man-power hours and financial resources required to effectively police the Internet and identify suspicious posts. 2. Many chimpanzees are similar in appearance. This makes it challenging (if not impossible) to track individual animals through the nine trade chain, as individuals are susceptible to misidentification and/or double counting.
1. To create an efficient and reliable tool that can aid in combatting Internet-facilitated wildlife trafficking. 2. To create a tool that is useful and user friendly for conservation organizations, law enforcement, wildlife crime investigators, social media/e-commerece companies, and citizen scientists. 3. To create a tool that we can "scale up" to identify other species involved in Internet-faciliatated trafficking. 4. To collect evidence for wildlife trafficking criminal prosecutions. 5. To end Internet-facilitated wildlife trafficking, and fight other forms of wildlife trafficking.

Natalie Wood's Daughter Confronts Robert Wagner About Her Mother's Mysterious Death
Robert also spoke out in the HBO documentary Natalie Wood: What Remains Behind.
By Kayla Keegan
Natalie Wood's life and untimely death are explored in the new HBO documentary Natalie Wood: What Remains Behind.
Natalie Wood died on November 29, 1981 after drowning off the coast of Santa Catalina Island in California.
In the new film, Natalie's daughter Natasha Gregson Wagner sits down to interview actor Robert Wagner, her stepfather and Natalie's husband from 1972 to 1981.
Natasha said Robert would've "given his life" for Natalie if he knew she was in "distress."
To this day, there are still many questions and few answers when it comes to the death of legendary actress Natalie Wood, who mysteriously drowned off the coast of Santa Catalina Island in 1981. Though her daughter Natasha Gregson Wagner realizes that she may never learn the full story of what happened to her mom, she is eager to celebrate the star's life in the new HBO documentary she produced called Natalie Wood: What Remains Behind.
To honor her mother's legacy, Natasha focuses a large part of the film — which premieres Tuesday, May 5 at 9 p.m. ET — on Natalie's booming career as a Hollywood powerhouse. At the same time, Natasha and her stepfather, actor Robert Wagner (who was married to Natalie between 1957 and 1962, and then again from 1972 to 1981), also address the night she went missing from the family's yacht. Tragically, in the early hours of November 29, 1981, the 43-year-old actress was found dead in the waters.
Robert Wagner, Natalie Wood, and daughters Katie Wagner, Natasha Gregson Wagner, and Courtney Wagner circa 1981.
In the documentary, Natasha asks Robert, who was on the yacht with Natalie the night she disappeared, to tell his side of the story. According to the actor, he, Natalie, and actor Christopher Walken went to dinner offshore the night of the 28th. When coming back to the boat after their meal, Robert said he got into an alcohol-fueled argument with Christopher over how much Natalie should work. Apparently, Natalie went below deck to go to bed as the two men carried on (they eventually resolved their differences). But when Robert went to join Natalie, she and the yacht's dinghy were gone.
"Nobody heard anything," Robert tells Natasha in the documentary. As they both fought back tears, Robert went on to recall the moment he learned that authorities had found Natalie's body in the water. "That night has gone through my mind so many times."
At first, Natalie's death was ruled an accident. But when the case was reopened in 2011, the Los Angeles Coroner's Office changed the cause of death from an accidental drowning to "drowning and other undetermined factors." Then, in 2018, Robert became a "person of interest" in the investigation.
While speaking with her stepdad though, Natasha made it clear how she feels about Robert and the speculation surrounding the case.

"For so many years, we were advised to ignore or not talk about it," Natasha says. "But enough is enough. I know that if my mom had been in any kind of distress, he [Robert] would have given his life for her."
"It's true," Robert says after hearing Natasha's response. "She said that because she knows me and she knows that I never would have done anything to hurt her mother."
Reflecting on the heartbreaking interview with her stepdad, Natasha explains why she chose to have him talk about her mother's death.
"I was more just wanting to have the kind of conversation that he and I have had in the past about other things, but on camera," she said, according to Vanity Fair. "I wanted him to feel safe enough to unfold, like a flower, and be honest, and show his humanity. That was my goal, or my intention for that interview."

Steve Granitz
When asked whether she has had versions of this conversation with her stepdad about her mother's death over the years, Natasha acknowledged that they had.
"I'm really glad we did it," Natasha said about the documentary. "It was definitely exhausting. He and I were both pretty wiped out by the end of those two days — yet we were also kind of euphoric too, because we thought we had gone through something really difficult together. When you take something, and you put it into the light, it doesn't feel as hampering, and that's what we were doing. We were just taking the truth and putting it into the light and it sort of empowered us, I think, in a way."

E-research—Taking Research to the Next Level
More than 60 research staff and students from Victoria University, Crown Research Institutes, and government agencies attended the E-Research Symposium.
Hosted by the School of Computer Science, the symposium featured a presentation from Professor John Hine, Head of School, among other keynote addresses.
Professor Hine opened the symposium with an introduction to e-research—defined as research done faster, to a better quality, or by different methods, using advanced digital tools and services that enable diverse research expertise to be assembled in global teams focused on specific research problems.
Professor Hine introduced the audience to key national and Victoria-based e-research tools and services, like the KAREN network, the University's grid computing facilities, and the BlueFern supercomputer at Canterbury University. He also launched the Victoria E-Research Professional Development Awards, designed to help Victoria researchers to travel to international events to learn more about e-research, and encouraged symposium attendees to apply.
The symposium delegates also enjoyed the perspective of international e-research from Professor Mark Gahegan, Director of E-Research at the University of Auckland, and from Professor Neil Gemmell, Director of the Centre for Genomics and Reproduction at the University of Otago.
Professor Gahegan gave an overview of the role of Geoscience Network in enabling geoscientists worldwide to participate in a global community and share data, tools and expertise. He used a 3-D simulation of a major earthquake near Los Angeles to demonstrate how e-research tools and services can enable scientists to integrate data and present results in compelling new way, with impacts for science as well as for other agencies such as emergency services and civil planning authorities.
Professor Gemmell gave an overview of e-research opportunities in the biosciences, focusing on the ways in which e-research tools and services mean that researchers no longer need to leave New Zealand to participate in global collaborations. He described the work of the BeSTGRID project that looks at ways of sharing data and computational resources across institutions, and tools like the Access Grid for communicating with colleagues around the globe.
A full report of the symposium, with links to people's presentations, is available on the School of Engineering and Computer Science Wiki.

Q: Comparing each of the s in a  element using jQuery I am writing a plugin for WordPress and am confused as to how to compare the user-input (got from an <input> element) to a set of <option> elements in a <select> element.
At the moment I am doing the following:

$('button#test_button').click(function(event) {
  event.preventDefault();

  // Get the text in the input box:
  var input_text = $('input#input_test').text();

  $("#selectId > option").each(function() {
    if ($(this).text() == input_text) {
      alert("Alert Triggered");
    }
  });
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<input id="input_test"></input>

<select id="selectId">
  <option value="hello">Foo</option>
  <option value="test">Test</option>
</select>

<button id="test_button">Click me!</button>

However, if you run the snippet you can see that the alert is never triggered, but I'm not sure why? I'm new to JavaScript so I'm not aware of any intricacies to the language, so this is probably a simple query, but I'd be grateful for any assistance.

A: You need to use val() method to get input value. And you have a typo of getting text content of <option> tag. Should be $(this).text(), not $(this).text

$('button#test_button').click( function(event) {
    event.preventDefault();

    // Get the text in the input box:
    var input_text = $('input#input_test').val();

    $("#selectId > option").each(function() {
        if( $(this).text() == input_text )
        {
            alert("Alert Triggered");
        }
    });
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<input id="input_test"></input>

<select id="selectId">
    <option value="hello">Foo</option>
    <option value="test">Test</option>

Vanja writes (about) comics
Updates on my comics and my general thoughts about the comics scene
Asterix and the Falling Sky
"Asterix and the falling sky", published in 2005, is the thirty third volume of the most successful European comic book series created by Rene Goscinny and Albert Uderzo. It is also only the eight one since the latter started both writing and drawing the book, which is significant considering that Goscinny died in 1977. To date, it appears that "the Falling sky" will likely remain the last full length Asterix adventure, discounting the two special albums that have been published around it, spotlighting short stories, and acting as the anniversary special, respectively.
Taken on it's own, this album is also quite likely the strangest Asterix story, and certainly the one that most deviated from the classic feel of the series. The cover homages the original "Asterix the Gaul" album and both invites the comparison, and yet reveals very little of the actual details of the plot. The story proper starts as a typical Goscinny/Uderzo adventure, featuring the pair of Gaulish heroes hunting for wild boars, but wastes no time to set up it's controversial plot. Just as the reader is eased into returning to the familiar characters and their typical ways, Uderzo breaks form and adds a completely alien to what might have been a start of just another Asterix and Obelix yarn.
Just seeing a 3d rendering of a simple model hovering above the Gaulish village, and spelling doom for it's defiant residents gives away the creator's intent. There is no subtlety to Uderzo's ideas at work in "the Falling sky", and just how the reader reacts to this will determine their enjoyment of the proceedings. By taking an oft repeated phrase of his characters fearing only the sky falling on their heads, and using it as a springboard to introduce a biting satire on the entire comic book industry certainly seemed as an ambitious undertaking. It's further polarizing how Uderzo gets to depicting it, tackling such a metafictional story at 78 years of age.
As for the context going in what was to be Asterix's most polarazing adventure, "les Editions Albert Rene/Goscinny Uderzo" prefaces the volume with a photograph that briefly describes the artist's start in the industry. Coupled with an endearing tribute to Walt Disney that closes of the volume, Uderzo makes sure the reader understands the impulses that led to introducing such strange and off-putting science fictional elements in what was always a premiere historical comedy, exemplifying the best in European comics targeted at a younger reader.
As many of his generation, young Uderzo was an artist influenced by Walt Disney and others early cartoon pioneers to contribute to the form of the newly established comic book. Thus, while him and Goscinny certainly felt inspired by the American comics Golden age, most notably by producing the western themed "Oumpah-pah the redskin", they have certainly since come into their own as quintessential European comic book authors. With "Asterix the Gaul" they had created something that was at once stylistically their own, as well as working as a period piece set 2000 years in the past of their own country. Despite the date never really advancing in the thirty odd Asterix stories since, a lot of the book's visual language and distinctive humor has since progressed to the point where it was when Goscinny died, and where it has, more or less, remained since, due to his artistic partner continuing the series.
Yet, despite some of Uderzo's ideas seeming somewhat more political and controversial, never has his work been as polarizing as with "the Falling sky". Considering that it was published so late in the author's life, when his output has dwindled to producing a single album every several years, the expectations have likewise significantly lowered. "Asterix" seemed to be defined by his decades old work, much more than the obligatory new volume, that seemed an impulse purchase from his many fans, who have literally grown up reading these charming tales. As such, the impact of "the Falling sky" was even stronger, considering such risk taking was nowhere near what was expected of the venerable, and widely beloved creator.
Yet, he was interested primarily in pointing out the special place Asterix and Obelix, and even broader, the Franco-Belgian comics, had on the comic book landscape, as defined by it's two largest industries, America and Japan. In order to make his points clear, he decided to borrow the narrative vocabulary of these distinctly different school of comic work, and proceeded to incorporate it wholesale in his existing, well-defined Asterix mythos. The result was bluntly putting into play two interstellar races coming to Earth in search of Getafix's magic potion, and stopping at nothing to hide their presence. Such a dramatic departure was potentially meant to be lessened by introducing a Mickey Mouse analogue in "Toon", the ambassador of Tadsilweny (a Walt Disney anagram) empire, as well as showing the reaction of his regular protagonists first and foremost.
And while the reader was to be entertained by just such a diversion, the in-jokes still feel odd and overpowering. And while Uderzo never proceeds to introduce more of emperor Hubs' (anagram of former president George W. Bush) forces beyond the Superman clones, what little there is of the political commentary thankfully quickly gets subdued. Unlike his superhero parody, further cementing the idea that the aliens' search for the magical potion doubles as the commentary on America's campaign for finding the weapons of mass destruction in Middle East would have surely driven the book into a territory simply unsuited to be dealt with using these children's characters.
This is likely for the best, considering that the addition of Nagmas, the Japanese-styled race with a corresponding set of anagrams, further complicates Uderzo's specific viewpoint. As opposed to the Tadsilweny invaders that Asterix and Obelix can somehow deal with, these other aliens are much more hostile, and depicting as possessing none of the whimsy of their interstellar rivals. And while Uderzo certainly plays his homages to Disney and Superman prototypes as both whimsy and dim-witted, not a lot of that spirit remains for their Asian counterparts.
In fact, the mangas are presented as single-minded and malevolent, hostile to both the Gauls and their newfound allies. This hilariously one-sided argument serves to demonstrate manga's rapid expansion of the last couple of decades, but it still seemingly betrays the creator's bias. Simply by paying attention to the somewhat tenious connection between Asterix's magical potion and that of the superclones' powers of strength, Uderzo seems to group them together and against the Asian invasion. The cockroach like armor and a martial arts substitute seem like a poor match for the united Gauls and Tadsilweny, making for an early climax that circumvents the role the Roman invaders have played in the plot so far, to make for the second ending only pages away, that ends the book.
Thus, the manga homages end up playing the role during the book's central act, only to be literally off the face of the Earth during it's final part. Concentrating on making his Disney homage be even more transparent, Uderzo sacrifices some of the book's drama, in order to bring back his own characters in the fray once more. The resulting clash with the Romans is once more a delight to read, if perhaps too brief. Solving the aliens' last minute dilemma, Asterix and Obelix make way for a twist ending, that once again approaches the territory of universally reviled tropes in fiction. In a very polarizing move, the creator solves the problem of having such an unwholesome element in the series' canon, one that truthfully always lept of the page as extraneous.
Thus, making good on the false climax a ten odd pages before, Uderzo finishes with a couple of typical Asterix jokes to round out the volume, and say goodbye to his characters under the computer generated background of the evening sky. Not surprisingly, Obelix the menhir maker ends up stealing every scene he's in, as the richest and organic part of the landscape, with some of his fellow villagers playing their typical roles to entice a pleasant nostalgia in the long time reader.
Uderzo was severely criticized for almost every aspect of "Asterix and the Falling sky", from the obvious clashing tone to the simplicity of the art style that he and his assistants have given the work, but the artist is still to be commanded for the exhibited ambition. The whole volume was certainly an experiment on his part, meaning that it was always going to be polarizing to the conservative readership, but it also seems to speak from the heart of a veteran comics professional, about the phenomena that he finds personally interesting. And while it's always the finished product that bears examination, not the original idea that inspired it, Uderzo's execution still feels typically tongue in cheek and charming as all of the classic Asterix stories. It is perhaps unfortunate that his final larger story was to be such a controversial offering, but despite the oft-putting introductions and a generally disconnected final product, this book proves why it closes the series.
"Asterix" has been good to Uderzo in a ways that even the most optimistic couldn't have expected, and in the end all that was left for the creator was to subvert the dynamic and try to entertain himself in ways that distance him from the fifty years of colorful stories. His subsequent decision to sell his share of the rights for the property, to make way for further stories by his assistants and eventually different creators, ensures that the series continues beyond his involvement, no doubt trying to evoke much more of the familiar Asterix elements beyond the ones featured in "the Falling sky".

Massive skill shortages leaves enterprises vulnerable to attacks
Businesses across industries such as finance, retail, manufacturing and education are in dire need of skilled professionals to secure their boundariesETCISO | February 06, 2017, 09:34 IST
By Jatinder Singh
Enterprises are facing challenging times to strengthen their security architecture. Organizations, today, are constantly combating with a growing and complex security ecosystem that is always changing. To add to their woes is the sheer lack of cyber security talent that makes the life all the more difficult to secure the network.
The issue is a global problem and not just in India. The situation has not changed in the last few years.
According to the seventh ISC Global Information Security Workforce Study (GISWS) conducted by Frost and Sullivan, the security of businesses is under severe threat because of cybersecurity workforce shortfall. The 2015 study predicts that the information security workforce will reach a 1.5 million-man shortfall by 2020.
The study also says that about 30 percent of the respondents anticipate their organizations to witness a cyber attack. However they are not sure to defend all kind of attacks.
Emergence of technologies such as Machine to Machine (M2M), Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) and automation; and advanced threats such as DNS tunneling, connecting to Tor networks and attack mitigation techniques have all evolved over a period of time. Businesses across industries such as finance, retail, manufacturing and education are in dire need of skilled professionals who can help develop comprehensive security policies to protect their information.
"The enterprise security landscape has already become insanely complex and multidimensional. As such, it is hard for one person to master it as thoroughly as has historically been expected of a CISO. The onset of internet of things (IoT) will only exponentially compound the security requirements, and there is no way that the traditional approach to network security is going to work. The next-generation CISOs will need to be smart and socially resourceful, and not just knowledgeable. They must have a reciprocal connect with communities of information-security experts and super specialists; and also be able to develop such specialists within their teams, internally," says Deepak Kumar, Founder Analyst, B&M Nxt, a market research and advisory firm based in Bangalore.
Banking sector, in particular, is more concerned and has rapidly increasing spending in cyber security.
"As threats continue to mount, understanding and managing cybersecurity risks have become top of mind for leaders in business and government. Organizations are responding by taking action," notes PWC in its The Global State of Information Security Survey 2016 report.
The study estimated a 117 percent increase in cyber attacks in India. However, to counter those attacks, we need a strong force who is well prepared for the challenges.
There is a compelling need to take proactive action to prepare professional workforce who can deal with the growing issues of cyber-security. Lack of professional bodies, limited certification programs, lack of adequate training and uninterested young talent have all contributed to a cyber-skill shortage across the globe.
According to a report titled Hacking the skills shortage by Intel Security, about half of companies prefer at least a graduation degree in relevant technical area to employ the candidate in their cyber security department. The eligibility is quite vague as the study notes that a degree in this field doesn't really reflect the cyber-security skills of a candidate.
The only way to attract and prepare talent in this domain is hands-on knowledge and introduction of more certification programs
There is no denial that cyber crime will continue to pose serious threats, and companies as well will continue to increase their security spending. However in the absence of full equipped workforce, they will not be able to prepare themselves fully against the vulnerability.

Three unintended consequences of data privacy rules
By Neil Hodge2018-11-28T12:30:00+00:00
BRUSSELS—EU data regulators are increasingly concerned about the potential impact that organisations' growing reliance on artificial intelligence and algorithms could have on business decision making.
Regulators are concerned that management accountability will be impaired if companies delegate too much of their responsibility for decision making to machines. They also admit that this "grey area" presents problems for them about how best to hold companies to account if algorithms, AI, and machine-learning technologies are largely responsible for how personal data is used (or misused).
Speaking at the 40th International Conference of Data Protection and Privacy Commissioners in October, U.K. Information Commissioner Elizabeth Denham said that companies' ability to ensure transparency, fairness, and accountability "remain core" to how personal data is used—and protected—in the digital world, adding that "regulators can't tackle these issues on our own."
She also said that organisations need to "think seriously" about how they explain to customers and stakeholders that machines are in charge of how people's data is used and for what purpose.
"Companies need to explain to customers, their boards, investors, and regulators why algorithmic solutions are being used to make important decisions, and to what extent," said Denham. "They also need to explain what controls are in place to ensure that the decisions made due to these algorithms are in the company's best interests and that personal data is not being misused in the process."
She added that "few companies think about this, currently."
Giovanni Buttarelli, European Data Protection Supervisor, had earlier told attendees at the conference of the need to understand the ethics behind increased around AI usage and how technologies use data to inform decision making. "We are fast approaching a period where design, deployment, and control of new technologies and technological processes are delegated to machines," he warned.
Buttarelli flagged several areas in which algorithmic decision making has been left to machines, such as in killer drones and criminal sentencing, and by social media companies "whose unaccountable algorithmic decision making has been weaponised by bad actors in ethnic conflict zones, with at times appalling human consequences, notably in Myanmar."
"When people talk about regulating algorithms, I don't know what they mean. In terms of design, the same algorithms that have influenced politics on social media are technically similar in many ways to those that are being used to develop breakthroughs in medicine and research. We must not regulate for the sake of regulating. In the long run that can be just as harmful."
Pascale Fung, Professor, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology
Regulators have already agreed a response. On 23 October data commissioners from several EU member states, as well as Canada, Hong Kong, Argentina, and the Philippines, agreed to a set of guiding principles regarding ethics, monitoring, and enforcement on AI. These underlined that developments and increased use of the technology need to ensure fairness, transparency, and accountability and that users must retain control over their own data.
Leading tech companies are beginning to question their use of personal data, as well as how technology uses it. Apple CEO Tim Cook told attendees that "advancing AI by collecting huge personal profiles is laziness, not efficiency" and said that "platforms and algorithms that promised to improve our lives can actually magnify our worst human tendencies."
In May, Facebook—following criticism surrounding the Cambridge Analytica furore—announced that it is testing a tool called "Fairness Flow" that it hopes can determine whether a machine learning algorithm is biased against certain groups of people based on race, gender, or age.
However, Pascale Fung, professor at the Department of Electronic & Computer Engineering, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, urged caution when considering regulating algorithms and their development and use.
"When people talk about regulating algorithms, I don't know what they mean," she said. "In terms of design, the same algorithms that have influenced politics on social media are technically similar in many ways to those that are being used to develop breakthroughs in medicine and research. We must not regulate for the sake of regulating. In the long run that can be just as harmful."

Establishing an effective and compliant data privacy plan isn't easy considering insufficient U.S. regulation, flaws with the EU's GDPR, and Big Data feeding the beast.
Regulators give nod to AI, emerging tech for AML programs
Federal bank regulators are encouraging banks to use artificial intelligence and other emerging technologies to bolster their AML compliance programs. In doing so, new guidance addresses an evolving liability and enforcement posture.
GDPR, Brexit keep compliance on its toes
The EU's General Data Protection Regulation and Britain's upcoming divorce from the European Union both have a tremendous impact on European compliance, but strategizing solutions around either one has proven to be difficult due to a lack of guidance and, in the case of Brexit, just plain chaos.

Cuts to NASA: Curiosity To Be the Last Mars Rover?
by Heather Rogers, published Aug 7, 2012
Credit: ABC News
NASA successfully landed its latest rover, Curiosity, late on Sunday night, within Gale Crater on the Martian surface. This is a huge triumph for the NASA team members who were prepared for the possibility of a landing failure. Over two-thirds of the previous Mars landing attempts have failed, making this mission's achievement an even bigger triumph.
Curiosity was designed to collect samples of mountain layers, as well as send color photos back to Earth. Researchers hope to gather evidence of whether or not Mars has ever sustained a climate favorable for life. The rover will search for environments where life might have existed in the past.
While this is exciting for scientists and most all Americans, the days of Mars exploration are quickly coming to an end.
Although it makes up for less than 1% of the federal budget, NASA has faced large cuts which have forced the agency to shelve many of its past undertakings. The president's budget proposal for 2013 stipulates $17.7 billion for NASA which is only marginally less than in 2012, however the budget slashes funding for Mars exploration by more than $200 million, a near 40% cut.
At $2.5 billion, the Curiosity project is expected to exceed its proposed budget by 50%. NASA has long had a history of overrunning costs, a downfall which is hurting the agency from the inside out.
The cut to the Mars program will basically halt future projects until further notice. Those in support of NASA claim that the U.S. cannot afford to lose its leadership in the field of planetary exploration to other countries that are making it a greater priority.
The Mars program has enjoyed enthusiastic public support, and has successfully produced some amazing science. Robotic explorations are arguably the most scientifically important undertakings of the agency. The U.S. has, so far, surpassed any other country in terms of planet exploration. Cuts to the program will force the U.S. to take a step back and allow others to catch up and/or exceed.
The Planetary Society, a group which advocates for a greater future in space, will lobby members of Congress to increase or re-allocate portions of the NASA budget in order to bring back funding for Mars exploration.
Astronomer Phil Plait, wrote in a recent article concerning the upcoming budget situation of NASA,
Cutting back on science is cutting our future's throat. And this budget is reaching for the knife.
He argues that science and exploration are not enough of a priority for the American people, but that both have significant value that must be recognized.
Do you think NASA should be a bigger priority in upcoming federal budgets?

I'm no longer excessive finds the complicated guy in the back of the simpleminded character, bringing to existence actual tales from a occupation that has spanned riotous (yet someway semi-righteous) a long time.
Jim dishes on every thing from the SNL years to his early adventures in movie. the solid of characters in I'm no longer excessive contains Chris Farley, Dave Chapelle, and Tracy Morgan-who all taught Jim lasting classes in regards to the high-stakes online game of popularity.

Nationwide thus naturalises its own practice, while at the same time it is constantly engaged in constituting the audience in its own image. It makes the object of its discourse and practice—the audience—the subject of its speech. The discourse of Nationwide thus depends on its ability constantly to reconstruct this imaginary equivalence, this perfect transparency, between the 'us' who are seen and the 'we' who see. What we 'see' and recognise is a reflection of ourselves and our world, caught in the mirror-structure of the screen.
The central components of these links tend to be references to a level of shared attitudes towards the taken-for-granted world: concern about the weather, holidays, anxiety at rising prices/taxes, exasperation with bureaucracy. The audience is constantly implicated through the linkperson's discourse by the use of personal pronouns: 'tonight we meet…', 'we all of us know that…', '… can happen to any of us', 'so we asked…'. The audience is also implicated by reference to past or coming items, which we have all seen/will see, and (by implication) all interpret in the same way.
