The Turning Stone Classic XV has played down to the final 16 undefeated billiards players in the winners' bracket at the end of Friday's matches, with numerous matches left to go on the one-loss side. The four-day event is hosted by the Turning Stone Resort and Casino in Verona, NY, and features a $25,000-added purse.
Hatch, who, despite his copious first-place finishes on the Joss Northeast 9-Ball Tour, has never won a Turning Stone title—yet.
Dennis "The Hatchet Man" Hatch, who, despite his copious first-place finishes on the Joss Northeast 9-Ball Tour, has never won a Turning Stone title—yet. He has survived his first three matches with ease, sending top players such as Earl Herring 9-4, Matt Krah 9-1, and Manny Chau 9-5 to the west side of the chart. His next competitor will be the only female left in the field, Liz Ford. Ford has also skated through the first three rounds, besting Damian Provost 9-5, Jerome Rockwell 9-2, and Dave Fernandez 9-5.
Germany's Ralf Souquet is untouched as yet, having defeated Allen Laidler 9-0, Hunter Lombardo 9-2, and Jorge Rodriguez 9-7. His next opponent will be Brian Holmes. However, Souquet's fellow countryman Thorsten Hohmann suffered his first loss in the third round when Mike Dechaine won their match 9-7.
InsidePOOL's Player of the Year, Mika Immonen, hasn't had an easy time of it but is still alive. He defeated Victor Conte Jr. 9-5 and Brent Boemmels 9-4 before facing off with a former Player of the Year, Shane Van Boening. Immonen was in command in this match and took it 9-5. Shawn "Big Bubba" Putnam will be his next opponent. Putnam has so far bested Greg McAndrews 9-4, Dan Heidrich 9-2, and Dave Daya 9-2.
Still alive but on the west side of the chart are Hohmann; Corey Deuel, who was defeated Friday evening by Quebec player Danny Normandin 9-5; Van Boening; Chau; Al Lapena of the Philippines; Oscar Dominguez, who just eliminated Stevie Moore 9-7; and Mhet Vergara.


I recently decided to get back into gardening. I had previously grown various vegetables like tomatoes, peppers, and various herbs.
This past weekend, I created a 4′ x 12′ x 1′ raised garden bed. I decided to try the "Square Foot Gardening" method, which I have never tried before. This method calls for 6″ of loose, nutrient rich soil and a raised bed divided into 1′ squares, with each square containing a unique crop. As my raised beds are 12″ deep, I used 6″ of semi-composted tree material to fill in the bottom half, and commercial "Mel's Mix" for the top half.
Some items will be grown in large plastic pots rather than the raised bed as required due to space constraints.


You may think you prefer to walk around or ride boats around Amsterdam, but there's such a thing as doing as the locals do, and I'm going to throw in an inception idea for you. Time to join the eternal bandwagon that is cycling here in Amsterdam. It's the way it's supposed to be. Netherlands is, without a doubt, one of the biggest bike-crazy countries in Europe.
If Vietnam calls for motorcycles, in Netherlands, there's no way but to cycle. If in VN it's perilious to get hit by motorcycles, and they actually won't stop if you cross the streets; in NL, they are polite enough to honk and stop when they see you. But don't dare to walk around the bicycle lanes as there might be some crazy old lady ready to shout at you. Yes, true story.
When it was my very first time in Amsterdam, I clearly remember how I wanted to try the bike for rents. A few hours after carrying my trusty old and heavy Nikon SLR, I realized it will be difficult to take photos while cycling. So, yes again, walk-is-me. And these are the photos of my not yet forgotten bucket list, to cycle around Amsterdam. But seriously, why is cycling so popular in Netherlands?

Q: Expectation of $Y := \min\{\frac{a}2, X\}$ if $X$ is uniform on $(0,a)$ The density of X is given by
$
f(x)=
\begin{cases}
 \frac{1}{a}&\, 0 \leq x < a\\
 0&\, otherwise\\
\end{cases}
$
Y := min{$\frac{a}{2}$, X} so Y belongs to [0, $\frac{a}{2}$]
Based on this solution, $E(Y) = \frac{3a}{8}$. Why is $E(Y) = \frac{3a}{8}$?
My Work
$
F_Y(y)=
\begin{cases}
 \frac{y}{a}&\, 0 \leq y < \frac{a}{2}\\
 1&\, y \geq \frac{a}{2}\\
\end{cases}
$
$
(F_Y(y))' = f_Y(y)=
\begin{cases}
 \frac{1}{a}&\, 0 \leq y < \frac{a}{2}\\
 0&\, y \geq \frac{a}{2}\\
\end{cases}
$
$
E(Y) = \int_{0}^{\frac{a}{2}} yf(y) dy = \int_{0}^{\frac{a}{2}} \frac{y}{a} dy = \frac{a}{8}
$

A: The cdf $F_Y(y)$ of variable $Y$ is not continuous, so $Y$ doesn't have a density. Thus differentiating $F_Y$ gives the wrong answer. The linked solution is using the formula
$$
E(h(X)) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty h(x) f(x)\,dx
$$
with $h(x):= \min\{\frac a2, x\}$. This gives
$$
E[Y]=E[h(X)]=\int_{-\infty}^{a/2}x \,f(x)\, dx + \int_{a/2}^\infty \frac a2 \,f(x)\,dx
$$
since $\min\{\frac a2, x\}$ equals $x$ when $x$ is less than $\frac a2$, and equals $\frac a2$ when $x$ exceeds $\frac a2$. Now plug in the density $f(x)$ for $X$.

A: A different approach would be:
$$EY=E\left[Y|X<\frac{1}{2}a\right]+E\left[Y|X\ge\frac{1}{2}a\right]= \int_0^{\frac{1}{2}a}x\frac{1}{a}dx= 0.125a+ 0.5a=\frac{3}{8}a$$
It relays on the properties of conditional expectations.

Since 1972, the New York Islanders have been legendary force in the world of professional hockey. Started as a means to keep the World HOckey Association (WHA) away from the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum, the Islanders became a well-known hockey dynasty almost instantaneously.
With a whopping four Stanley Cup titles in a row (1979-1983), six conference championships, and six division championships, the Islanders are recognized as one of the best franchises in all of professional sports, not just hockey.
Greats like Denis Potvin, Mike Bossy, Clark Gillies, and Butch Goring propelled the Islanders to a record-setting four Stanley Cup victories in a row. The dynasty was unstoppable in the early 80s, just barely missing out on a fifth Stanley Cup victory in a loss against the Edmonton Oilers.
Now, young talent in the form of Mathew Barzal is helping the Islanders to return to greatness. Indeed, Barzal became only the second player to ever record three five-point games — and he did it in his rookie season.
You already have the number 22 jersey, the worn down sticks, and the fading posters. It's time to enhance your New York Islanders collection with officially licensed NHL photos.

In the 1920 World Series, the Cleveland Indians beat the Brooklyn Dodgers, then known interchangeably as the Robins in reference to their manager Wilbert Robinson, in 7 games, five games to two. This series was a best-of-nine series, like the first World Series in 1903 and the World Series of 1919 and 1921.
This Series is noted for the unassisted triple play turned by Cleveland's Bill Wambsganss in Game 5. Wambsganss, playing second base, caught a line drive off the bat of Clarence Mitchell, stepped on second base to put out Pete Kilduff, and tagged Otto Miller coming from first base. It was the second of thirteen (as of April 2007) unassisted triple plays in major-league baseball history, and it remains the only one in postseason play. The fifth game also saw the first grand slam in World Series history (hit by Cleveland's Elmer Smith) and the first Series home run by a pitcher (Cleveland's Jim Bagby, Sr.). And in that same game, Brooklyn outhit Cleveland but lost 8-1.
Cleveland had won the American League pennant in a close race with the Chicago White Sox and the New York Yankees. The Sox's participation in the Black Sox Scandal the previous year had caught up to them late in the season, and their star players were suspended with 3 games left in the season, when they were in a virtual tie with the Indians. The Yankees, with their recently-acquired star Babe Ruth, were almost ready to start their eventual World Series dynasty. For Cleveland, it would prove to be one of their few successes in a long history of largely either poor or not-quite-good enough clubs.

The Relocation of Bukit Merah Public Library: How Are Students And Elderly Affected?
By the end of 2018, Bukit Merah Public Library, currently located in Bukit Merah, would have moved to VivoCity.
This follows the trend of public libraries moving to accessible locations with high footfall, such as malls and neighbourhood town hubs.
For instance, Tampines Regional Library, which closed on June 4, will reopen at Our Tampines Hub on Aug 5 and Yishun Public Library will reopen at Northpoint City by the first quarter of next year.
In a bid to attract new readers, libraries are co-locating with other public facilities to capitalise on greater human traffic in shopping malls.
When Bukit Merah Public Library was built 35 years ago, Bukit Merah Centre was bustling with residents and office workers. Now, it has become a quiet street, save for grocery shoppers and elderly people taking a walk.
With urban development and land-use efficiency, it appears logical to relocate the library to a busier area.
At the new location, however, the library is likely to lose its main groups of visitors — students and the elderly.
Ironically, the massive shopping mall may not be accessible for the elderly and students. In comparison, VivoCity is further away from residential housing and schools.
Gan Eng Seng Secondary School, Bukit Merah Secondary School and Henderson Secondary School are among the cluster of schools that are situated less than 1.5km away from the library's currrent location in Bukit Merah.
It is no surprise that the students head over to the library after school and during study breaks to catch up on revision in a cool environment.
This conducive setting may not be replicated in VivoCity, where the library is expected to be crowded due to the mall's high visitorship. Students may not be able to find empty desks or benches to use.
Furthermore, the mega-mall, which houses a cinema and an arcade, could serve as a distraction for students.
On the lines of VivoCity's high visitorship, a couple of people have pointed out in The Straits Times forum that parents who want to take their children to the library would be inconvenienced by the shortage of parking space.
The library's current location in Bukit Merah is most ideal for students — it is conducive, distraction-free and located in their neck of the woods.
When I learnt about the relocation, the demographic that first came into mind was the elderly — their daily newspaper reading habits are most likely to be affected by the shift.
At 9.50 a.m. each day, about a dozen elderly retirees will gather behind the library entrance, patiently waiting for the doors to open.
At the 10 a.m. opening time, many would rush to the newspaper section, while the rest would head to the second floor, grab non-fiction books and sit at the desks and sofas to read for hours.
Since library users above 50 are entitled to an hour of free internet use each day, the multimedia section will almost be fully occupied with elderly users by noon.
The elderly spend many hours in the library, stopping for lunch at nearby coffeeshops.
The relocation can be considered a disruption to the elderly's reading habits. We would not want their reading time to be replaced with napping throughout the day, drinking or playing mahjong.
Since Bukit Merah Library is surrounded by residential housing, the elderly who frequent the library probably live a walking distance away. Not all elderly people enjoy visiting shopping malls and it may be time-consuming for them to travel to VivoCity.
To ensure that residents in Bukit Merah Central continue to have access to reading materials and multimedia services, the National Library Board (NLB) is planning to set up reading corners at various community clubs, senior activity centres and schools.
Books, computers, newspapers and magazines will be made available at the reading corners.
But these 'mini libraries' cannot be a perfect substitute for the library, since the spaces would be smaller with a limited number of reading materials and computers.
In addition, the reading corners may not be as spacious and comfortable as the library environment the elderly are used to.
To ensure that the communal areas are well used by the elderly, NLB and community partners might want to customise the elderly's reading preferences.
For instance, librarians or community volunteers could identify the elderly's general reading preferences through a short survey or by chatting with them.
If most of the elderly users read Chinese novels, self-help books and newspapers, these materials should be made available at the various reading corners.
If reading corners can only make space for a couple of desktops, a few laptops or iPads can be stored and distributed when the demand for computers are high.
Bukit Merah Public Library may be shifting, but the elderly's reading habits must not shift.
When revising at home becomes too mundane, I would make a trip to the library and sit at one of the desks lined against the walls to study. During the holidays, the same routine would follow, but with a good novel instead of a Ten Year Series.
The blue building at Bukit Merah Central will be missed.

JNU Violence Reminded Me Of 26/11 Mumbai Attack, Says Maharashtra CM Uddhav Thackeray
Uddhav Thackeray Also Added That The Students In Maharashtra Need Not Fear As His Government Would Ensure Safety Of Each And Every Individual.

Amid the outrage over the unprecedented JNU violence, Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on Monday said that the mob attack on student of one of India's prestigious central university reminded him of '26/11 Mumbai Attacks'. Thackeray termed those masked goons as coward. He also said that such people cannot be backed at any level. Thackery also demanded that the identities of the masked thugs must be revealed. The statement comes a day after more than 50 masked thugs attacked the students and teachers of the JNU. Disturbing videos of the mayhem showed shattered glasses, loud screams of help and bleeding skulls.
#WATCH Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on JNU violence: What was the need for attackers to wear masks? They were cowards. I was watching on TV and it reminded me of the 26/11 Mumbai terror attack. I will not tolerate such attacks in Maharashtra pic.twitter.com/LR1kpctk8K
— ANI (@ANI) January 6, 2020
Thackeray also added that the students in Maharashtra need not fear as his government would ensure safety of each and every individual. This is not the first time that the Maharashtra Chief Minister has equated violence on campus with a brutal historic carnage. Earlier, Thackeray had likened the police brutality in Jamia Millia Islamia to the Jallianwala Bagh massacre. He had also said the power of youth was like a bomb, and warned against igniting it.
Apart from Thackeray, Chief Minister of West Bengal and Kerala have also slammed the JNU mob attack.
Eyewitnesses alleged that the attackers entered the premises when a meeting was being held by JNU Teachers' Association over the issue of violence on the campus, and assaulted students and professors. They also barged into three hostels. Video footage aired by some TV channels showed a group of men, who were brandishing hockey sticks and rods, moving around a building. The Left-controlled JNUSU and the RSS-backed Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) blamed each other for the incident.
Meanwhile, Delhi Police on Monday registered an FIR in connection with the violence at Jawaharlal Nehru University, a day after at least 28 - , including JNU Students' Union president Aishe Ghosh - people were injured when masked men armed with sticks and rods attacked students and teachers and damaged property on the campus.
"We have taken cognizance of yesterday's JNU Violence and have registered an FIR. Social media and CCTV footages will be part of investigation," Devendra Arya, DCP (South-West), said.
According to reports, the investigation is underway and police have identified some masked men through videos on social media.
Earlier, Delhi Police PRO MS Randhawa held a late-night meeting with a delegation of students and teachers after violence broke out at the university in the national capital. Following the violence, the administration called in the police which conducted a flag march.

You know, when I stopped believing that I was enlightened and others weren't, all the fun went out of giving satsang!
The age of the guru is over. This is the age of the friend. The message of self-knowledge and liberation is outstripping any guru's ability to contain it. People have been discovering that the message is independent of the messenger. The message has become detached from its older, exclusivistic, privileged stage settings. No longer must it travel down from a hierarchy. These days the message of liberation spreads horizontally from person to person. It moves more like an ocean than a waterfall. It grows more like a rhizome than an oak tree.
Of course there are still gurus. There will be gurus as long as there are friends. There will always be some gurus able to serve as wonderful teachers and inspiring examples. But these days the friend is providing more and more of the same services. The friend is spreading the message of self-knowledge, opening hearts with lovingkindness, and inspiring others with enthusiasm.
The turn from the guru to the friend is not just a matter of inspiration; it's also a matter of information. We've got freer access to what was formerly more selective and closed. The message of self-knowledge has reached interested parties wherever there's communication. And this communication no longer needs to flow through the narrow-band guru-frequency, but has overflowed and become broadband.
This has caused the guru model itself to morph into something more democratic and decentralized. There are more teachers with less charisma. In California, supply exceeds demand to the point where a student can choose from any number of retreats on a given weekend. Retreat leaders have had to lower their fees to keep competitive. And then during the following week, the students e-mail the teachings out to all their friends, who then tell others.
The connotations of the term "guru" are changing. Traditionally this Sanskrit word has been interpreted to mean dispeller (ru) of darkness (gu). It was understood primarily in personal terms, and the guru was worshipped as an incarnation of God — a sacred, exclusive conduit to self-realization. These days, the metaphor has gone stale. No longer do people accept the image that they're in darkness until assisted by a purportedly perfected human being. In spiritual circles, the "guru" word is more and more taken to point to the seeker's own innermost self.
No longer can people believe that liberation speaks only Tibetan, or that the world was created from holy Sanskrit syllables. People are saying, "If it can't be said in my language, then it isn't so universal after all." Even as recently as thirty years ago, seekers of self-awareness had to trek to India or the Himalayas to see someone who could impart a message of liberation. These days there are many routes: Barnes & Noble, Borders, Amazon, Yahoo, Google, mobile phones and BlackBerries. Teachings that used to be limited to a select few are now being joyously shared between friends in any language. Even decades ago, you had to go to ashrams or temples and maybe wait three days before the keepers would let you enter. Now the same message can be found in coffee shops, living rooms, cyber chat-rooms and even prisons. A few of the younger gurus are beginning to adapt their teachings to this new democratic tone. They've backed off from the stance of exlusivity and have come closer to celebrating friendship and enlightened ordinariness. And other gurus are digging in their heels and sticking to the old story.
Public figures are now commonplace. We know more about more people. We see their warts and indiscretions. This is inevitable in today's infoculture where bloggers and paparazzi themselves can get famous. The older guru model can't survive this much information. According to the older and exalted versions of the guru model, the guru is a unique and perhaps perfected example of humanity. Maybe divinity in temporary human clothing. Some have even said that the guru is beyond God. But as information increases, it becomes much harder for this image to survive. High perfection becomes low comedy with each new revelation of vegetarian gurus caught eating chiliburgers, celibate gurus discovered having affairs with their PR chiefs, or miracle-wielding gurus photographed with trinkets in the folds of their sleeves.
Information on gurus abounds in ways that were unthinkable a while ago. There's up-close and personal information in books such as Feet of Clay, Mother of God, or Enlightenment Blues. There are websites such as Jerry Katz's famous Nonduality.com, which has helped deconstruct the older guru model by its sheer breadth of expression, and by listing so many gurus, including literary and movie characters. Then there's Sarlo's Guru Ratings pages, which freely give subjective and personal scores to gurus, along with the gurus' anti-sites where possible. There's Jody Radzik, who for years has been a fly in the ointment, reminding people that a guru's image of perfection is created by the student's idealizations. Recently Jody has come up with guruphilac.org, an newsy info blog with guru refugee-sites and other poop and scoop that makes it much harder to idealize the guru.
What About Enlightenment by Transmission?
But it's not always about the message. Another angle to the guru model is the notion of enlightenment by transmission (EBT). In the EBT model, the special thing is the guru's very presence. It has nothing to do with information or the words spoken, but everything to do with the special state the guru is thought to be in. The evidence for this state is thought to be the certain glow and energetic vibrancy which can be felt by devotees in the presence of the guru, especially in large group meetings. According to the EBT model, if the disciple gets physically, emotionally or psychically close to the guru, this state can be transmitted from the guru to the disciple. The transmission can be instantaneous or progressive over years. But thinking is starting to change on this aspect as well.
In the West since the 60's and the Vietnam phenomenon, there's less reliance on authority, lower patience for rigid hierarchies, and diminished credulity towards metanarratives (as Jean-Francois Lyotard wrote in The Postmodern Condition.) Causal explanations tend to be more rhizomatic and less arboreal – we don't look as much for single causes, we look more for interactive scenarios and networks of relations.
This kind of orientation has changed how people respond to the EBT model as well. There's more knowledge about psychology, group dynamics and human energetics. What used to be more mystical has become more naturalized. What used to be attributed to a very special person is now seen as more of a social phenomenon. These days for example, the contributions of the observer and her conditioning play a much larger role in psychological explanations. This includes the EBT model. What might have been seen a century ago as the guru's divine energy might now be seen as dependent on projection from people with very strong and similar beliefs. The guru's special glow might now be seen as the same kind of charisma possessed by politicians and celebrities. Where the guru is concerned, projection and charisma depend on expectations, which take their shape depending on images in social settings and spiritual writings. There's not as great a tendency to see the guru as a single, personal root cause. There are still interpersonal spiritual experiences and people who help transform others. But today's thinking permits these things to happen more and more among friends.
Does the message or experience of liberation get diluted if it reaches you through night-shift clerk at the local 7-11? Isn't it better to go directly to the source? More and more people are saying "No – the source is everywhere." People are understanding liberation as something that can be communicated by anyone, with every breath. Red flags go up whenever someone demands that only certain people can be the source. The source can be found at the convenience store, and people are now seeing that it's the same thing that comes from the wise old bearded guy on top of the hill. There's a twinkle in his eye because it's what he's been saying all along.


An interesting observation from the team at Square2Marketing that draws attention, in my opinion, to two important points.
I believe confusing terminology plus media hype, drives behavior among time-strapped executives. Inbound has been a buzzy term that has created a lot of media exposure for years. Most executives may not identify with the term "demand generation." Marketers use the jargon. Executives think macro – market awareness, pipeline growth, sales quotas, and closed deals.
I fairly in alignment with the mainstream definition which according to Wikipedia is, "Demand generation is the focus of targeted marketing programs to drive awareness and interest in a company's products and/or services." So my view of demand generation as an overarching focus while inbound, outbound and account-based marketing (ABM) are ways of performing it seems in alignment. As such, I believe that most companies across industries would benefit from a hybrid approach that includes elements from each.
I would caution anyone subscribing to a single methodology. Marketing and sales teams are tasked with goals to achieve within specific timeframes, budgets, and skill-sets. The best approach is to build a demand generation program that effectively fits the unique situation.
If you are a start-up and you need to gain quick traction, launching only an inbound marketing program will take too long. A better approach is to leverage your salesperson (or team) to start an outbound program. Depending on available resources, elements of inbound can be integrated. Even account-based marketing, at least a hybrid ABM version, could also condition the way outbound is planned and executed. Taking elements from each to build a demand generation program that meets your requirements may work out best overall.

West Africa; Review on Global Media Governance - A Beginner's Guide, by Seán Ó Siochrú and Bruce Girard with Amy Mahan
Title: Who Controls Global Media?
Author(S): Desmond Davies
Publication: West Africa
The issue of regulating the media in the past and present has been a controversial one. Controversial in the sense that regulating the media would appear contrary to what democratic societies take for granted – freedom of speech and expression. But the advent of new technologies that the media sector has witnessed is presenting major problems for regulating the media.
For those who are concerned about the forces that are influencing global media today, the Geneva-based UN Research Institute for Social Development has co-published a book that looks at issues central to the debate of media governance at the global level: Global Media Governance – A Beginner's Guide.
Given that media governance has to deal with regulation, the book tackles a number of crucial questions: why regulate the various media at all? What currently are the major forms of global regulation and how do they work? Who is involved in and who benefits from media regulatory and governance structures? And what are the trends?
Despite the intense arguments between politicians and media owners, there is no gainsaying that there is some need to regulate the media. Regulating the media is a means by which governments contrive to safeguard the state as an entity while at the same time offering protection to their citizens, ensuring, for example, that television programmes are produced in the interest of the public.
But what is the public interest and who decides what the public interest is? In this regard, one needs to ascertain whether it is the public or the demands in society that could be said to be the driving force behind the types of programmes that broadcasters air.
Evan as governments today grapple with the matter of how best to regulate the media – to make them more "responsible" – we should not forget that state control and censorship played a major part in the development of the media.
This has been all in the name of regulating the media. Such regulation, though, would depend on the sort of political system that obtains in a country. In a democracy, there is not normally direct state intervention in the editorial control of the media.
But today the media play a central role in everyday life. The influence of the media encompasses the political, social, economic and cultural aspects of society. It is this centrality of the media's influence that is the linchpin of any regulation to govern their operations. Thus, the ever rising influence of the media over so many dimensions of life and society underscores the importance of finding answers to the questions raised in Global Media Governance.
Broadcasting, more than any other aspect of the communications media, has been the most regulated. But the public sphere is changing and public service broadcasting is beginning to adapt to change brought about by deregulation and privatisation. The rise of satellite and cable television has increased choices for the public. Added to this, as the authors point out, new technologies have also led to cross-border broadcasting.
This is where the problem lies. In the past, governments have used the communications media as key instruments of nation building. Now, with the media in the control of multinational corporations, the situation has changed drastically. For these corporations according to the authors, their "national allegiance, if any, is subsumed under corporate exigencies. Satellite television and the Internet know no boundaries; even local radio stations are deemed worthy of control and are swallowed up by major media conglomerates."
On the telecommunications front, they note: "Likewise, most countries have shed all claims to their telecommunications sector as a matter of strategic sovereignty. One by one, national telecommunications networks, especially in less industrialised countries are moving to multi-national ownership, their growth and spread motivated by narrow commercial goals."
There is no doubt that, even in a free society, regulating the media is important. Regulation is needed within the ambit of a country's legal system and at the global level in order to protect the state and society as a whole. In this regard, it is essential that those involved in formulating media policy at the global level are fully aware of the struggle for media control and which actors shape the future of global communication and how they do it.
Global Media Governance has done well to tackle a range of issues that are involved in regulating media globally. These are the processes of media convergence, increased commercialisation and international competition and deregulation.

Q: Plot Area Gradient in MS Chart I'm currently working with MS Chart for the first Time, and i want my C# Programm to draw a grey to white gradient under my graph, just like this (on the left is the current version, on the right what I want to do):

EDIT: Thank you Dmitry for including the Image from my Link :)
The only gradient Option I found for MS Chart so far is the Background.
This is my basic configuration of the chart so far:
chart.Series.Add(MsChartHelper.CreateSeries(chartData, SeriesChartType.Line));
chart.ChartAreas.Add(MsChartHelper.CreateChartArea());
chart.Series[0].BorderWidth = 1;
chart.Series[0].BorderColor = fnBlue;
chart.Series[0].Font = new System.Drawing.Font("Verdana", 7F, System.Drawing.FontStyle.Regular);

chart.ChartAreas[0].AxisY.Minimum = 92;
chart.ChartAreas[0].AxisY.Maximum = 96;
chart.ChartAreas[0].AxisY.Interval = 1;
chart.ChartAreas[0].AxisY.LabelStyle.Font = new System.Drawing.Font("Verdana", 7F, System.Drawing.FontStyle.Regular);

chart.ChartAreas[0].AxisX.LabelStyle.Font = new System.Drawing.Font("Verdana", 7F, System.Drawing.FontStyle.Regular);
chart.ChartAreas[0].AxisX.Interval = 36;
chart.ChartAreas[0].AxisX.IntervalType = DateTimeIntervalType.Days;
chart.ChartAreas[0].AxisX.IsInterlaced = true;
chart.ChartAreas[0].AxisX.InterlacedColor = fnGray;
chart.ChartAreas[0].AxisX.MajorGrid.Enabled = false;

DataPoint min = chart.Series[0].Points.FindMinByValue();
min.MarkerStyle = MarkerStyle.None;
min.IsValueShownAsLabel = true;

DataPoint max = chart.Series[0].Points.FindMaxByValue();
max.MarkerStyle = MarkerStyle.None;
max.IsValueShownAsLabel = true;

A: Ok, finally I figured out, how to achieve this. So if someone has the same Issue for some reason, this is how you do it:
Your Charttype hast to be Area
chart.Series.Add(MsChartHelper.CreateSeries(chartPlotData, SeriesChartType.Area));

After this, you can add a gradient and set a border color:
chart.Series[0].BackGradientStyle = GradientStyle.TopBottom;
chart.Series[0].Color = Color.FromArgb(125, 110, 110, 110);
chart.Series[0].BackSecondaryColor = Color.FromArgb(0, 255, 255, 255);
chart.Series[0].BorderColor = System.Drawing.ColorTranslator.FromHtml("#AA3131");
chart.Series[0].BorderDashStyle = ChartDashStyle.Solid;
chart.Series[0].BorderWidth = 1;

I hope this helps :)

Jimmy Kelly (1887 – 1970)
Jimmy Kelly was born and raised in Teelin but left at quite a young age to work for the Monaghan family at their quarry in Drumkeelan. In his younger days he played regularly with Mick McShane and Frank Cassidy, and would have been influenced by the playing of the McConnells, the travelling tinsmiths and fiddlers who visited the area in the early 1900s. Like Paddy McDyer and Maurice Quigley, Jimmy played for wedding parties in Carrick before leaving home. He later married Margaret Haughey and they settled Mountcharles. Jimmy was very good with his hands and manufactured a tin fiddle, a skill that he learned, perhaps, from the travelling McConnells.

Thinking of listing your house for sale in the near term? One option your real estate agent may mention is the pre-listing home inspection. A pre-listing home inspection is done by the seller of a house to prepare the house for sale. This blog will go over 4 compelling reasons to invest in a pre-listing home inspection from the point of view of a home inspector.
The first thing I have learned about pre-listing home inspections is that some real estate agents where I work highly recommend them and others do not. There is no one right way to buy or sell a house, so the decision you make should be considered a personal choice regarding how you want to approach positioning your house for the market.
The other thing to consider about home inspections, in general, is that there are always problems with houses. Approaching home buying and selling from the point of view of trying to make everything perfect is a laudable goal, but it can often meet with the harsh reality that every house has upsides and downsides. In some sense, choosing a house is choosing the maintenance issues you care to live with; there are no maintenance-free houses. Approaching home buying and selling from this point of view, it can be rewarding to be more forthcoming about the condition of a house as a means of more quickly establishing the right buyer for your home and weeding out the folks who are not quite right. Remember: every house is a great house for the right person at the right price. I have done inspections for builders who were looking for tear downs and complete fixer uppers that were just right for some buyers.
From fixer to turnkey to tear down: every house is a great house for the right person at the right price.
Understand the condition of what you are selling. Pre-listing home inspections allow a home seller the opportunity to understand the condition of their home before choosing a price. Home sellers should not feel obligated to fix everything or even anything that comes up on this inspection. Some houses get sold as "fixer projects," others as turn-key or move-in ready and still others as major rehabs or even tear downs. The condition of the building, as is uncovered during a home inspection, can help you figure out where your house fits on this scale. In addition, a detailed home inspection report serves as a blueprint for getting the house to the to the place on this scale where you want to position your house.
Take control of home repairs. Pre-listing home inspections allow a seller to take control of home repairs. Often simple things can come up on a home inspection that can be made much more complicated when the clock is ticking under a pending offer. When surprises come up on a home inspection for a buyer, there may not be time to get qualified contractors out to further evaluate a finding such as a roof or a siding problem. Even though the roof or siding may be fixable, a buyer, working under limited time constraints, may simply ask for a new roof or new siding as a precaution, or they may ask for a repair to be done by the most expensive contractor in town or a surprisingly large credit or discount off the sale price. By tackling tricky maintenance and repair items on your own time frame, sellers can retain control over repairs to ensure they are executed in a professional and efficient fashion.
It can be beneficial for a seller to take control of house repairs.
Reduce liability. It can become difficult for a buyer of a house to come back at the seller regarding an undisclosed defect if the seller has done a pre-listing inspection. This is a complex subject better suited to an attorney than a home inspector, so my knowledge on this subject should be taken with a grain of salt, but it certainly shows an honest intent to disclose the accurate condition of the building you are selling when you go to the effort of hiring an independent 3rd party inspector to do a pre-listing inspection and then disclose this report to home buyers. The buyer may wish to hire their own inspector, which is a good idea, but the effort at disclosure shows a more forthcoming seller. This is a personal decision that goes back to positioning the house and discerning how forthcoming you wish to be about the houses' condition.
I hope this blog helps you see some advantages to doing a pre-listing home inspection. I could likely devote a 2nd blog to understanding the drawbacks, but I will summarize quickly here. You do have to pay for the inspection, so this is one more cost for a home seller to take on; a home inspection could cost between $300 and $1200 depending on where you live and the size of the house. You also risk discovering complex or expensive problems with the home that could get overlooked by a buyer.
As always, the most important thing is finding a quality real estate agent to work with who knows how to get a house ready for the market. Brokers who have successful track records of getting homes sold quickly and at a competitive price typically have their own personal formula. Once you select an agent to work with, it is often wise to trust the judgment of a professional who does this stuff for a living.
I hope this helps! Happy house hunting everyone!

A delegation from The Gem & Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC) recently conducted meetings with jewellers from Doha and Qatar to promote the forthcoming IIJS Premiere Show and highlight GJEPC's other international initiatives. The delegation was led by Mansukh Kothari, Co-convener, Exhibitions Sub-Committee (National). GJEP.
During the delegation tour, Road Shows were conducted at Qatar and Doha and meetings were organised with local jewellers and their associations. While the delegation met over 60 jewellers in Doha, the event in Qatar was attended by more than 40 jewellers.
Both meetings were addressed by Kothari and other GJEPC officials.
At Qatar, Ambassador of India to Qatar HE Mr. P Kumaranwas also present. He highlighted the need to build a strong bilateral trade relationship between India & Qatar and urged both sides towards building areas of cooperation between the two countries.


We like to believe our character determines our behavior -- that good people behave well and bad people badly -- but science suggests the real world isn't so neat and tidy. The situations we find ourselves in, and even seemingly minor details of our lives, have large effects on whether we behave ethically.
Take the famous Good Samaritan study as an example. The social psychologists behind the research recreated the Biblical story, with a twist. They conspired to send 67 seminary students past a confederate pretending to be a distressed individual in need of assistance. Would these morally minded individuals stop and help?
The answer, it turned out, depended not on any deep seated truths about their personality or beliefs, but largely on one small variable -- how much of a rush they were in. When the students were told they were running late for a talk, only ten percent stopped to lend a hand. When the study subjects were ambling towards the same talk at a leisurely pace, 63 percent offered assistance.
It might not flatter our sense of ourselves as intrinsically ethical people, but the truth is the situations you find yourself in matter A LOT when it comes to your choices. That should cause you to pause and consider how to up your own chances of behaving in a way you'd be proud of, but it's also useful information for bosses, according to a recent post on Google re:Work blog about the work of UNC professor Sreedhari Desai.
This one is perhaps the least surprising of Desai's findings. Her research shows that when customers are given itemized lists of costs with their bills, they are much less frequently overcharged. She suggests that a similarly detailed approach could counteract the temptation to overbill for those who charge by the hour.
2. Choose your wall decor thoughtfully.
This one is a little more surprising. What do you have up on your office wall? Whatever is there now, swapping it out for an icon of ethical behavior -- an image of Martin Luther King, Jr. say, or Mother Theresa -- would likely cause your team to behave more ethically, Desai's research suggests.
This is probably the least expected of Desai's insights. Apparently, simply glimpsing a picture of themselves in more innocent days or spending a few moments in a childish pursuit like goofy doodling can inspire people to dig deep for the best in themselves. "The idea of childhood and moral purity is deeply coupled," explains Desai. So if you want your team to be at their most moral, keeping a few childhood mementos around might just do the trick.

University News, University of East Anglia
Information and Details on Staff Strike at University of East Anglia
Staff members at several Universities across the United Kingdom are set to go on strike throughout February and March, following an ongoing row regarding pensions. The strike will be affecting the University of East Anglia (UEA), after staff members backed the decision to strike. This news has caused concern for students – who would be affected by strike action. The reaction of staff is in response to planned pension changes by Universities UK – which are affecting hundreds of staff members across various Universities in the United Kingdom. Read on for the full story.
Strikes are set to take place at Universities across the United Kingdom throughout February and March
UEA's striking staff will begin their action on Thursday 22nd February, followed by action on Friday 23rd February. The strike will pick up the pace the week after – with Monday 26th, Tuesday 27th and Wednesday 28th all being designated as days for strike action – meaning the equivalent of a week will be disrupted. As for March, official plans include nine strike days. From Monday 5th to Thursday 8th, staff will be striking. The following week is currently allotted to fall victim to a strike in its entirety. It is currently unclear as to whether or not UEA's staff will partake in all fourteen strike days.
As mentioned above, the decision was taken in response to planned pension changes by Universities UK. Universities UK are planning on changing the pension scheme, with a switch to a model that would see pension income linked to changes in the stock market. This would replace the current model, which provides a guaranteed retirement income – and is universally more popular. Most see the planned change as a negative step, causing concern for staff. While a strike normally comes as a last resort, it could be necessary.
Empty lecture theatres could become a regular sight throughout February and March

The possibility of strike action will apply pressure on Universities UK. At a crucial time in the second semester, this news will be very worrying for students, with lectures, assignment grading, mentoring and other academic functions simply ceasing temporarily. But students can also appreciate the need to strike – with these changes having the potential to be highly detrimental to staff. The strike is due to start in under a week, with so far no progress being made on the strike being called off.

Maxim Gorki Theater Leads an Immigrant Vanguard in Berlin

By Christopher D. Shea
BERLIN — Standing in her office at the Maxim Gorki Theater here, a pack of Gauloises cigarettes in hand, Shermin Langhoff gestured at an image of one of Jeff Koons's gleaming balloon sculptures hanging on her wall.
Slowing the pace of her usually rapid German, she said: "It's lunacy. This object is 20 years old, and for 20 years nothing has happened in art, other than in the performing arts."
Ms. Langhoff, 45, who immigrated from Turkey as a child, was contrasting what she sees as visual art's static legacy with that of the firebrand theater she took over in 2013 and has since made a nexus for plays tackling issues like immigration, race and assimilation. A small but influential house in the Mitte district in the city center, it is one of the five major theaters here run primarily with public money.
In May 2012, the city's mayor at the time, Klaus Wowereit, named Ms. Langhoff, a theater producer, the Gorki's artistic director. In an op-ed for the newspaper Die Zeit soon after — titled "How White Is Art?" — Mr. Wowereit's cultural secretary, André Schmitz, heralded her appointment as an "important signal" for those who see immigration as a boon rather than as a problem, and floated the idea of instituting "diversity quotas" at the city's cultural institutions.
The signal was all the more potent given Ms. Langhoff's status as a prominent member of the city's Turkish population, which has struggled to assimilate since the 1960s.
Ms. Langhoff, whose German surname comes from her husband, the stage director Lukas Langhoff, has revolutionized the Maxim Gorki, which in August was named "Theater of the Year" by the prestigious arts magazine Theater Heute. But so far, her appointment hasn't shaken up the rest of the theater establishment. Ms. Langhoff and the repertoire she's programmed to reflect contemporary Berlin remain outliers.
"It's a city theater, and that requires us to engage with this city — with everything that a city like Berlin offers," Ms. Langhoff said. "And that's, of course, a lot."
Immigrants and their children constitute roughly a quarter of Berlin's population, and the city's Turkish enclave is the largest outside of Turkey. The city's four other main dramatic stages are still run by white German men, as are the city's two leading opera companies.
The lack of diversity on Berlin's stages drew international attention in 2012, when the American playwright Bruce Norris withdrew the Deutsches Theater's rights to perform his play "Clybourne Park" after finding out that the management planned to cast a nonblack actor in a role written for an African-American performer. Mr. Norris withdrew permission for the show when, according to the playwright, an administrator at the theater said it planned to "experiment with makeup."
The issue is particularly charged in Berlin because of the large budget controlled by the small cultural affairs department. Annually, the department dispenses around 400 million euros, about $429 million, more than twice the budget of New York City's Department of Cultural Affairs, in a city with roughly 40 percent of New York City's population and around 10 percent of its gross domestic product. Together, Berlin's major stages, including the Gorki, receive around half of city's annual cultural budget.
Top cultural appointments like Ms. Langhoff's are made by the city. Unlike in the United States or Britain, where companies rely significantly on private money, most theaters here — from fringe outlets to major stages — sink or swim depending on government funding. More than 80 percent of the Gorki's €12 million annual operating budget comes from the city.
Ms. Langhoff swept into her new role in 2013, replacing every actor but one in the theater's ensemble and transforming it into the most diverse company in the city. About half of the current 18-member company is of Turkish or Afro-German background, while a number of the members have Eastern European immigrant roots.
She and Jens Hillje (whom Ms. Langhoff brought in as the theater's co-director) also transformed the repertoire, adding English supertitles to shows and appointing an Israeli, Yael Ronen — some of whose plays, like "Hakoah Wien," explore the paradoxes of being Jewish in the German-speaking world — as house director.
The new repertoire mixes a familiar German theater aesthetic — director-driven revivals of classics — with works that grapple with contemporary politics, particularly immigration. This month, the theater staged "It Snows In April," a series of performances, lectures and film screenings about Turkey's mass murder of Armenians in 1915. The Gorki also recently opened its adaptation of Orhan Pamuk's novel "Snow," about a Turkish man who returns to his hometown, after living in Germany, to find that radical Islam has taken hold of his old friends.
One popular work, "Verrücktes Blut" ("Crazy Blood"), by Nurkan Erpulat and Mr. Hillje, follows a white German teacher overseeing a classroom of rowdy immigrant youth. The teacher grows increasingly furious at the students and finally takes them hostage. In a final moment of ferocity, she blurts a stream of Turkish — exposing herself as a Turkish German trying desperately to hide her heritage.
When prompted, Ms. Langhoff spoke in long, eloquent paragraphs about the theater's political potential. She returned several times to the importance of work that grapples with the contradictions of European nationhood — the fact that Continental thinkers invented a worldview based on principles of brotherhood and equality in the late 18th century, then quickly drew national borders to keep others out.
Asked whether she has political discussions with the artists who work at the theater, Ms. Langhoff said with a dose of sarcasm: "Well, of course. What should I talk about with them? Shakespeare?"
Critical praise for her tenure has been for the most part lavish. After the Gorki won the Theater of the Year title, the company was invited to Theatertreffen, a festival that in May will bring in the 10 most notable German-language productions of the year for a two-week showcase in Berlin.
Wagner Carvalho, who runs the Ballhaus Naunynstrasse, a small theater dedicated to telling immigrant stories, where Ms. Langhoff served as artistic director for several years, suggested that her success comes with some drawbacks. For one thing, being highlighted as a role model can limit future progress: "Is here the end of this road?" he asked. "From Ballhaus to Gorki and stop?"
City officials, for their part, say they are committed to attracting diverse audiences to the arts. They have, over the last several years, set quotas for immigrants and their offspring on the juries that determine which emerging artists receive public money for their projects, and encouraged institutions to develop plans for attracting more minorities.
Ms. Langhoff largely skirts questions of whether she thinks the city government is doing enough and insists on the importance of broad funding for emerging artists of all backgrounds.
She seems at ease, however, with her status as a minority player in a powerful public position. "There's a huge effort to assimilate, a kind of conformism to do Germany right," she said of immigrant experiences like her own. "And because of that, I need to be critical of the system in my job."
"Having an outsider on the inside," she added, "can never be bad for the arts."

Poker is a game in which the fear of loss is always at or just beneath the surface. Since we can't eliminate fear, we need to learn to use it to our best advantage. This can result in causing an opponent to fold a winning hand or can simply allow us to shrug off a bad beat.
There is a pervasive feeling amongst the less experienced online poker players that fear is something to be feared. This is a big mistake. In fact, it is one of the biggest mistakes poker players make. The fear of losing hems us in and makes us less aggressive and more timid.
Fear is an unavoidable aspect of poker and in fact of almost everything we do. Playing poker online does reduce fear because it reduces the tells that telegraph information we want to keep hidden. But even online poker can't eliminate fear entirely. The proper attitude towards fear is that it is a good thing. Fear is like pain; we would all like to live in a world without pain. But in the real world in which pain exists, we can use pain as the push we needed to go to the doctor and have a test done and find out what's wrong inside our bodies very early so we can be cured.
There is no denying that Phil Helmuth is a great poker player. But every great player has a weakness and Helmuth's weakness is the fear of losing to an inferior player. We are not talking about a player who is marginally less adept at the game than is Phil Helmuth. We are talking about a player who in chess terms would be labeled a "wood pusher", someone who truly doesn't know what he's doing.
YouTube is rife with clips of Phil Helmuth hitting tilt because he lost to a rank amateur because Helmuth could not bear the possibility that he might lose to such a poor player.
The image that most poker players want to cultivate is a stoic, unemotional type who can remain completely deadpan even when he has the nuts and is hoping to get a lot of action.
The poker face belies the deep swells of emotion that underlie it. A lot of players go against nature and try to deny that there is such a swell of emotion beneath the surface and the façade.
When we have the nuts and are hoping for some action, we do need a strong poker face but it's a mistake to deny the emotion that is roaring just beneath the surface.
A lot of people don't understand money. It is for that reason that so-called cryptocurrencies have entered the money marketplace. These alternative forms of "money" exist for only one reason: there are people who fear that government money will crash and lose massive amounts of value and that only the cryptocurrencies will survive to have purchasing power.
Poker players need to accept the idea that it hurts to lose money but only by losing money can we learn how to win money! This is the first lesson in cultivating fear in a positive way. We need to accept—even embrace—our fear of losing in order to develop the skills necessary for winning.
We are told all the time to play only the best hands as we enter the world of real money poker. Still, we know that the better players will limp in with very "poor" hands. They do this because they want their opponents to be unclear of what they actually have. Even if they lose some money on this particular hand, by staying in the pot for another round, they have turned the fear against their opponents rather than turning it inward onto themselves.
Fear of losing money or of being bluffed successfully by an amateur cause us to lose objectivity. Instead of analyzing the hand at hand, we feed into our fear and are more prone to making irrational decisions.
Evolution played and continues to play a role in our fear at the poker table. Early man faced life and death dangers every day. He learnt to deal with a dangerous situation quickly, without resorting to rational analyses of the dangers involved, and most often lived on.
The entire human race owes its existence to the cultivation of quick responses to fear predicated in the real danger of being killed that our far ancestors used to survive.
At the poker table, no one is in danger of being killed by a bear or a mountain lion. We don't fear the weather like ancient people did. That's because we understand the weather a lot better than they did. The only real fear we have at the poker table is losing some money or of being embarrassed by poor judgment.
We can live in poker terms simply by accepting two things: one, that the fear of losing will never dissipate completely and, two, we are going to lose a lot of hands no matter what we do or how well we analyze the situation. Fear doesn't keep us from losing; fear keeps us from learning how to win.
The very notion of a tell in poker is that some players show their emotions. When they have a good hand they react differently than when they have a poor hand. Most often, a tell is a function of how directly we let the fear of losing a hand come bubbling up to the surface. Conversely, a tell when our hand is strong is usually based on the fear that we won't win enough on this great chance to win a big pot.
By accepting the presence of fear, we can eliminate, over time, the physical response we show based on those fears.
The basis of tells in both subliminal and non-subliminal fear leads to the fact that many poker players overestimate danger. A lot more people are afraid of flying in an airplane than they are of riding in a car but the odds are a lot greater for the possibility of death or injury whilst riding in a car than in flying.
We overestimate the danger of airplane travel. Similarly, we often overestimate the danger of losing a hand and the corresponding money. Reacting outside of the parameters of our fear leads to far more wins than reacting within the parameters of our fear.

Best Time to View Sunsets in Detroit
By Ashley Friedman; Updated August 11, 2017
Dusk over Detroit: Catch the last rays of day in Motor City
The Motor City has a lot to offer visitors, from national history to contemporary culture and even outdoor activities, depending on the weather and the season. A vibrant arts community and an up-and-coming food scene are making the birthplace of Motown a destination once again. Whatever you decide to do during your sojourn in Detroit, be sure to set aside at least one evening to watch the sun go down over this spectacular American city.
When does it happen?
In the summertime, following the summer solstice in June, the sunset in Detroit begins as late as 9:12 p.m. The sun continues to set after 8:30 for all of July and most of August. Following the autumnal equinox in late September, the sun begins to set earlier, and by mid-October the sunset starts around 6:45. Following daylight saving time in early November, you'll need to reach your viewing spot before 5:05. In the wintertime, daylight hours begin to increase gradually following the winter solstice on December 21, and by late February the sun starts making its exit around 6:15. Days lengthen as springtime approaches, and by mid-April the sunset doesn't begin until around 8:15.

Weather and seasonal considerations
Detroit is known for its cold Midwestern winters. Heavy snow, icy temperatures and frequent precipitation during the late fall and winter mean that overcast skies are likely. Cloud coverage can ruin your chances of viewing the sunset, so be sure to check the weather report if you're hoping to catch the view during gray months. In spring and summer, storms are possible, but a rainstorm can dissipate quickly, creating conditions for a clear, colorful sunset.
The best spots
Detroit's Belle Isle Park is a 982-acre island with cultural and environmental resources that make it a destination for any visitor to the city. The park's location in the Detroit River means its shores provide an excellent location for watching the sun go down, reflected against the water, any time of the year. Head to the aptly named Sunset Drive on the island's western shore for a front-row seat.
The Detroit River Walk, with restaurants, benches and amazing views of the Ambassador Bridge to Canada, is a choice spot for watching the sunset during the city's more temperate months. This is a family-oriented location with a heavy police presence, so if you're thinking about PDA or brown-bagging beers, think twice.
For views of the Ambassador Bridge and Canada in a more insulated environment, travel to Coach Insignia restaurant, a swanky steakhouse on the 72nd floor of the GM Renaissance Center. With great optics of downtown Detroit and the river and an excellent wine list, this is ideal for enjoying the sunset during cold winter months. But, it can get crowded, so make a reservation, remembering to ask for a table by the window.
