Dell Globalizes Business Groups around Major Customer Segments
To serve business customers with faster innovation and greater responsiveness, Dell plans to organize globally around three major customer segments – large enterprise, public sector, and small and medium businesses. Dell's consumer business, led by Ron Garriques, is already organized globally.
Dell believes the four groups best capitalize on the company's competitive advantages, while strengthening execution and synergies. Each group will possess greater global accountability and responsibility for responding to customer needs, and for anticipating and leading industry change.
"In the past two years we have significantly improved our competitiveness, reengineered our supply chain, broadened our product portfolio and introduced Dell to more people in more places than ever before. We have laid the foundation for the transition from a global business that's run regionally to businesses that are really globally organized," says Michael Dell, chairman and CEO. Dell said the changes result from listening to customers and responding to their desire for faster innovation and globally standardized products and services.
Leading the new worldwide business units will be:
Large Enterprise — Steve Schuckenbrock, currently president, Global Services, and chief information officer. Dell is the leading provider of IT infrastructure and solutions in many of the world's economies. A single large-enterprise unit will further Dell's advantage in delivering globally consistent innovations, solutions and services to the world's largest IT users.
Public — Paul Bell, currently president, Dell Americas. Through a globally integrated Public organization Dell intends to extend its leadership in answering urgent IT challenges in areas such as government, education, health care and the environment.
Small and Medium Business — Steve Felice, based in Singapore, currently president, Dell Asia-Pacific and Japan. The new organization will accelerate creation and delivery of SMB-specific solutions and technology to the more than 72 million small and medium-sized businesses worldwide.
In a related move, the company announced that Mike Cannon, President, Global Operations, will retire from Dell effective Jan. 31. Cannon will be succeeded by Jeff Clarke who, in addition to his responsibilities as head of Dell's Business Client Product Group, will become Vice Chairman, Global Operations. Cannon will serve as a consultant to Dell. For more information, visit www.dell.com.

Golden Signals Announces DisplayShare Wireless Networking Software
Golden Signals, a leading innovator in wireless networking products, announces DisplayShare, a unique wireless solution that uses a gaming console to establish a high definition link between a PC and a home entertainment system. By simply downloading the DisplayShare software on the PC, connectivity to the home entertainment system is automatically established via the gaming console. Consumers can easily display PC content - like documents, multimedia and presentations -- on their television screen. DisplayShare will be showcased at CES in booth No. IP221, located at the Innovation Plus Pods in the Sands Expo Center.
"Our main focus when developing DisplayShare was ease of use for the consumer, without requiring the purchase of additional hardware for the home," says Dr. Stuart Golden, founder and CEO of Golden Signals. "For sharing pictures, videos and music with friends and family, DisplayShare is a simple and cost-effective way to link your PC with your existing home entertainment system."
The first release of DisplayShare uses the PlayStation 3 to establish the connection, which can be made with two simple steps. After turning on the PS3 and installing the DisplayShare software on a PC in the home network, the PS3 welcome screen on the TV shows an icon identifying the PC. The user then uses the PS3 remote or game controller to select the PC icon. Whatever appears on the PC display screen is now replicated on to the TV. Audio is also streamed to the speakers of the entertainment system.
DisplayShare is best utilized in situations where you want to see the PC display screen on a larger and higher definition screen. Pictures, video, PowerPoint presentations and Web pages can all be replicated through DisplayShare on to an HDTV. The wireless link, established by DisplayShare, also transmits audio so that the user can listen to internet radio or music stored on the PC through your home audio system. As a result, sound quality increases since the music is now streaming through high quality speakers in the home entertainment system instead of computer speakers.
The PS3 release of DisplayShare is available now and can be purchased for $49.95 per license at www.displayshare.com. Software releases for the Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii will be available later this year. DisplayShare products optimized for office and industrial applications are also being developed.
Retrevo Releases 2008 Year-End CE Report
Retrevo®, the first matchmaker for people and electronics, today released its 2008 Year-End Consumer Electronics report on consumer electronics trends in 2008 and predictions for 2009 based on data from The Retrevo Pulse, the heartbeat of trends for electronics and gadgets.
The 20-page report covers:
Key drivers of growth of CE products in the first half of the year;
The impact of the financial crisis and recession on consumer demand for electronics products in late summer/early fall;
2008 price and demand trends for noteworthy categories; and
The 2009 outlook for top CE product categories, including HDTVs, laptops, GPS receivers, digital cameras, camcorders, mobile phones and more.
"It was widely assumed earlier in the year that the CE industry would be mostly insulated from the slowing economy," says Vipin Jain, President and CEO of Retrevo. "Looking at the Retrevo Pulse, we know that was not the case. There were bright spots, however, particularly TVs, digital camera and laptop sales, which helped propel total CE spending," added Jain. "In the report we released today, we looked at historical data from The Pulse to highlight some important trends in 2008, and make several broad predictions for 2009."
Data for the report was collected and aggregated by the Retrevo Pulse, which consists of the CE Price Index™, CE Demand Index™ and a real-time product buzz ticker. The indices track daily price and demand trends for consumer electronics by product category and in aggregate based on observed data from millions of consumers for more than 4,000 products across 40 categories, such as HDTV's, digital cameras and laptop computers.

Toshiba Is 'The One to Watch' With Exciting New regza HDTVs
Scott Ramirez, Vice President of Marketing at Toshiba, talks about the company's 2009 TV lineup.
CEDN: Please tell us about your 2009 TV lineup and anything new that is being announced here at CES.
SR: The big news is the quantum leap we are taking with our premium REGZA LCD TV models. Everything is upgraded from the cosmetics, with our unique Deep Lagoon Flush front design, to the picture quality with a new advanced frame rate technology and Resolution+ super-resolution, to the sound quality with Dolby Volume and Audyssey, to the complete next-gen connectivity with USB 2.0, SD card slot, DLNA, InstaPort and more.
At Toshiba, we say REGZA is 'The one to watch,' and now it is truly the one to want and the one to follow.
CEDN: What differentiates your line from the competition?
SR: For 2009, there are so many unique Toshiba technologies, but I think our new advanced frame rate technology and Resolution+ are the most demonstrable. Our new frame rate technology, offering more than 120Hz, combines a higher frame rate with backlight scanning to provide a new level of picture clarity with fast motion video for sports or action movies.
Resolution+ makes everything you watch feel like HD, even standard DVDs, non-HD TV channels, camcorder movies and video games. It also improves scaling from 720p HD to 1080p full HD. These key features, along with our long list of other new technologies for 2009, will create unmatched Toshiba REGZA picture quality.

This season, Pierpaolo Piccioli brings us a new bag with the VRING. The main feature is a hook clasp that when open is a decorative feature on the front of the bag. A combination of the aesthetic and the practical, this little detail makes all the difference. It was love at first sight for us.


You are currently browsing the Meranda Writes weblog archives for the day Saturday, January 20th, 2007.
This post makes a very convincing argument as to how exactly Google plans to basically take over the world. Or well, the Internet portion of it at least. Only, as we move more toward a wired society, the Internet will (and is) beginning to encompass much more than e-mail and Web pages. It's our connection to other people, our means of communication for much of our work, our source of news and entertainment. Phone lines are moving to the Internet and movies streamed on-demand instead of rented from the local Blockbuster. It's an interesting phenomenon. The post is worth reading if you're at all concerned about one company having too much power.
I missed actually seeing Stephen Colbert on the O'Reilly Factor and vice versa when it happened Thursday.
Colbert: You know what I hate about people who criticize you.
Colbert: They criticize what you say but never give you credit for how loud you say it..
Colbert: … or how long you say it.
O'Reilly: There are not many people as loud as I am.
O'Reilly: We make mistakes, but we have to respect the country.
Colbert: We may make mistakes, but we must never admit them.
O'Reilly: No, we should admit them. We should admit them. This was a huge mistake, me coming on here. I'll admit that.
Colbert: I hope I can change your mind on that.
Seriously go watch them if you need a laugh. Or kick back to John Stewart on Crossfire last year.


Soul Space Studio is a group of artists working to share the message of peace by developing spiritually conscious media projects.
The Nobel Peace Prize Winners Series which starts with H.H. the 14th Dalai Lama is their current major endeavour.
"We hope to have these 'interstitial' sized animations playing between programming on commercial and cable networks to expose as wide an audience as possible to the wisdom of these great individuals," said Victor Holder, spokesperson for Soul Space Studio.
The series will pay tribute to the honourable work of Nobel Peace Prize Winners for their and humanity while promoting universal tolerance, social dialogue.
Soul Space Studio are currently seeking financial backing for the production of the remaining 12 animation episodes of the Nobel Peace Prize Winners series. You can help them by making a DONATION to their production fund.
Once produced, a share of the profits from the distribution will be donated to elected conflict resolution projects and people in need.


In the entrance hall a chaos of tiny dots of light is contained in two large blocks hanging from a beam at the ceiling. Light as a cluster of moving particles, lighting up like a wave.
The blocks, moving up and down as if weighed in a balance, are each composed of over 8.000 LED cubes, all of which can be controlled individually. Within these blocks moving images appear, based on words to describe actions which are evaluated, or weighed, in court. The words chosen also suggest literal movement, while at the same time they have metaphorical or even emotional connotations: to leak, to part, to wring, etc. While you tend to think you understand what you're seeing, there is a peculiar, elusive logic to the scenes produced.
Licht-Wegen is a technically unique and innovative work I was able to realise in collaboration with Yens & Yens and Bram Verhavert.
On Friday December 21th during the longest night of the year, and on Saturday afternoon on December 22nd , Pitch Dark was staged in the auditorium of the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam. Pitch Dark was made in collaboration with cellist Katharina Gross and composer/percussionist Arnold Marinissen. For me it is a new experiment, a chance to express my fascination for light in a different way. It is an interplay of sonic and visual impulses, and the low-tech light scenes in the performance are inspired by the neuro-physiological effects that sometimes appear in your vision: the images, afterimages, and movements you see with your eyes closed.
We performed Pitch Dark earlier at the Verkadefabriek in Den Bosch, at Festival Oranjewoud in Friesland and at Bach Festival in Dordrecht. In the new year new performances are scheduled in Amsterdam and on June 30th we will playing at the Centre for International Light Art in Unna, Germany.
The exhibition Architectural Healing took place in the former Koepelgevangenis, a Panopticon-style prison in the city of Haarlem. In cell 44 I presented the video work Levitation: a sense of being uplifted and free-floating in a place of total standstill.
On Facebook I found this beautiful picture of my monument for Jan Zwartendijk, taken by Jurate Augustaitiene from Kaunas, Lithuania. The monument was inaugurated in June and I thought it was very nice to see how it looked these autumn days.
In October, the launch of Jan Brokken's book "De Rechtvaardigen" brought attention to Jan Zwartendijk once more. It is a beautiful book, about the lives of Zwartendijk and the ones he helped escape.
White Noise, my work at the Alticom tower on the Zuidas in Amsterdam, was delivered in 2009 and has been in need of a thorough restoration for some time now. I am delighted that Alticom and the City of Amsterdam, Zuidas have now found the financial resources for a complete restoration of this work. This spring, White Noise, the handwriting of the universe, is expected to shine once again in all its splendour.
In the last month I've paid several visits to Sweden for my new work New Horizons in Stockholm. Furthermore, I've been working on a sketch design for the Reeve area near Kampen and the project for an apartment block in Hoorn has been resumed. And finally, a range of revised video registrations of many works is now online!


National Council of Textile Organizations (NCTO) has welcomed the decision of the Trump administration to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). The notification begins a 90-day period in which Trump trade officials must consult with Congress on the objectives of the trade talks. While U.S. politicians have called the tax an unfair subsidy, Mexico argues the system is in line with worldwide trade rules.
According to the USA census the United States exported more than $2 trillion worth of goods.
Freeland stressed that "NAFTA's track record is one of economic growth and middle-class job creation, both here in Canada and throughout North America". In fact, USA manufacturing exports to Canada and Mexico have increased almost 260% over the past 23 years, and US farm exports to the countries have grown by more than 150%. "We are steadfastly committed to free trade in the North American region and to ensuring that the benefits of trade are enjoyed by all Canadians".
Recently the Trump administration announced a mini-deal with China on trade - the first fruits of a larger effort to renegotiate the U.S. "Exports are one pillar of a strong farm economy, accounting for 31% of farmer income". Since NAFTA was implemented, USA agricultural exports to Canada and Mexico have tripled and quintupled, respectively. China was the largest market, importing $21.4 billion in American ag products past year.
"We are not satisfied to take a wait-and-see approach when it comes to any renegotiation of NAFTA", Wynne said in a statement.
"Canada and Mexico are top pork export markets".
US Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross said he looks forward to working with Trump, Lighthizer, and their counterparts in Canada and Mexico, "to find a solution that is both fair and beneficial for all parties".
The letter to U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer was signed by 18 senators, including U.S. Sens.
Back in March, a draft of a letter sent to lawmakers said the Trump administration would seek tax equality and the ability to slap tariffs on Mexican and Canadian imports if they pose a serious injury threat to US industry.
"NAFTA is the most critical free trade agreement on the books for USA grain farmers, providing open access to countries that are among our top corn, sorghum and barley export markets, as well as significant and growing markets for distiller's dried grains with solubles (DDGS) and meat products made using grain", Counsell says. "NFU urges them to do so in a fashion that does not upset the positive trade relations the US agriculture community relies upon".

There are different types of investment is available for the investment where it develops the portfolio. We have different strategies where it may spin around, where it may lead to out of control. Here we provide you certain tips to manage your investment.
It is one of the most important facts to be considered while you develop the investment strategy. It is wise to diversify the portfolio. Avoid investing in one stock as most of the investors do this mistake by making their investment in one stock or in one assert class.
Think in the broader way than the stocks you are more familiar with. Have a look on the other asserts like treasury bills, mutual funds, money market funds and bonds. You can even try with the riskier investment along with emerging and aggressive growth funds.
You can divide the strategies into two types one is constructive and the other one is the risky. Constructive is the low risk investment by using the large caps. It might be the Microsoft or the GE's in the stock market. It is safest to invest in bond and the money market fund. Low risk will provide you only low return but it secures your money from the loss.
High risk investments will be the result from the potentially grown companies. High growth strategy requires you to invest in the mutual funds or small cap stocks. You might have the high growth and high risk on you portfolio if you are young.
There are different types of strategies available to bring out the developments in the portfolio. At initial stage check it out whether all of them are diversified. Then analyze your risk level to make decision based on your risk level. If you can undergo high risk investment then plan to take equal low risk security to balance risk level.
The person with the average income will always prefer the low risk investment. Instead of playing the risky stock game, they invest in the solid place to grow their money for future purpose. This type of investment is quite common among the people who just plan to earn more interest rate in overtime.
Such investors can make their investment in blue chip stocks and in the stock market. Blue chip stocks are stocks provided by the solid stock investment companies with good reputation. Risk level is usually very low due to its stability.
Other investment option for this type of investors is certificate deposit where it is placed for specific period of time where it is agreed upon for the certain interest rate. This deposit will stay in the account and help you to reap good benefit out of it.
The next investment idea is the online savings account where it earns higher interest rate than the normal savings account. The amount invested in the online savings account will stay liquid which means it is accessible to the investor all the time. This account has FDIC approval where it applies with minimum account balance or the deposit.
Investment acts a great way for your future money, where it helps to earn more money out of it. This investment will help the people during the retirement period and also during their children's higher education. Starting the investment at your early age will help you great way at your older period when you rest at home.

The 2000s were an exciting period for Hindi cinema. Production companies got more organized, movie shooting got more professional, and you started hearing about related scripts now and then. As companies entered the scene, popular mainstream cinema began to find its advantage. The old definition of "what works" has been put forward.
There was a time when Ronnie Screwvala saw gold in Rang De Basanti, and his production company UTV Motion Pictures became a major proponent of "Content is King." They relied on confident voices like Dibakar Banerjee, Rajkumar Gupta, Vishal Bhardwaj, and Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra when they were relatively new. 2008 was more than a watershed moment for her. And also, They won their fashion blockbuster Jodhaa Akbar and Madhur Bhandarkar's by Ashutosh Gowariker and received awards for Hey Lucky Lucky Hey! By Dibakar Banerjee and a surprise hit on A Wednesday by Neeraj Pandey. Also watch section 375 full movie
Rupali Joshi (Soha Ali Khan) is a successful journalist who is getting married in two months. Nikhil Agrawal (Madhavan) is an environmentally conscious guide who travels to work every day expecting her first child. Suresh (Kay Kay Menon) is a distressed IT tech who spends his time lounging in a local cafe and criticizing Muslims. Meanwhile, Sunil Kadam (Vijay Maurya) battles the corruption and inefficiency of the Mumbai police and his boss Tukaram Patil (Paresh Raval), who is about to retire.
On July 11, Nikhil and Suresh were in the second class compartment of the train when a bomb explod in the first-class room. The two survive, but Nikhil is too scared to get back on the train and is diagnosed with acute stress disorder. And also, Suresh obsess with punishing the city's Muslims, and only patrol officers Kadam and Patil stop him from opposing them. Therefore, Kadam and Patil insult a street vendor named Thomas (Irfan Khan), calling malls to appease his feelings with a fake bomb. After the older adult has a heart attack while cleaning the mall, Thomas feels guilty and quits.
India – Director Nishikant Kamat continues his chronicle of the bustling metropolis of Mumbai (formerly Bombay) with "Mumbai Meri Jaan" ("Mumbai My Love"), a fictional look at the dismay, shock, and suffering of its citizens during the explosions of July trains. And 2006.
Therefore, film captures the trauma of some people who have been directly and indirectly affected by the explosions on various urban trains by Muslim terrorists. It may not be an art-house thing, but you can expect to have a decent box office in big cities where terror is a growing fear.

The JNF Walter Sisulu Environmental Centre opened in Mamelodi on 14 September 2004. It is the first such project of its kind in South Africa, to create an environmentally friendly building that demonstrates natural thermal comfort, natural lighting and natural ventilation methods in everyday use.
The mission is to create a culture of community conservation in Mamelodi and Southern Tshwane with the aim of developing awareness amongst the youth to inspire and motivate them to preserve and utilise the wealth of our natural heritage.
The JNF Walter Sisulu Environmental Centre creates a venue for the learners and educators of Mamelodi Schools, the 186 schools in the Southern Tshwane Educational District and the surrounding community to learn about the environment. It provides key applications and resources for educators integrating the environment into the Outcomes Based Curriculum (OBE) currently being incorporated into the Education System.
Education is a fundamental key to addressing historical imbalances in South Africa and the answer to many of the social and economic problems facing the country. Environmental education is becoming a primary subject in schools throughout the country as the environment has been named a "phase organiser" in the Outcomes Based Education system. While this is an extremely exciting development many educators do not have the skills or resources to make this happen. This centre will support and train educators as well as host environmental outings for learners.
JNF South Africa established the first park in Mamelodi which was named after Nelson Mandela and inaugurated in 1996.


Handsome Harlem has waited long enough at the dog shelter for a new family!! it is time to get this man a home.... He is a loving boy with a bouncy side. He is loyal to the staff and knows his basics. We recommend NO cats or Stock because Harlem ( like most dogs) LOVES to chase fun things and has never be trained around them. Small children might find Harlem scarey because he is bouncey but he is only happy to see you! Harlem is approx. 1-2 years and is already desexed and ready to go. He will need an experienced owner who is willing to help him with training. He is good with other dogs - but he can get over playful at times and needs to learn some manners.

This summer I'll be teaching at two summer art camps!
I've been teaching at Art al Sol the past few years. This camp is sponsored by Metro Nashville Public Schools. There are two sessions, each a week long from 8:30 till 2:30. We'll(there are two of us teaching)be working with kids from 8 -1o yrs old. It is AMAZING! The kids want to be there, and usually come with some strong art skills. It is amazing how much we are able to accomplish over the week. You can see last years projects scrolling through on the slide show on my page. I'll be sure to add pictures later this month during/after the camp!
In July, I'll be teaching at a kids camp for two weeks in the Donelson area. This camp is in conjunction with a production of Beauty and the Beast(the Disney version). The kids will be learning dance, music, drama, and visual arts. I'll be developing lessons that are based on the movie, which is challenging and fun! I don't want to just say.."Make Mrs. Potts". I'm still working out some of my ideas, but will be sure to post those projects as well in July!!
Stay tuned blog readers....summer does not mean Mr. E is done blogging!!!
I wasn't super excited after my 3rd graders had made their clay animals. They seemed to lack personality & had an overall boring appearance. However, after they painted them, I felt they came to life!

I know that Wal-Mart is equal to evil in most people's eyes, but I have always appreciated the craft & fabric section at our local Super Wal-Mart in Hermitage,TN. I have purchased 100's of yards of fabric over the years from the $1 yard table....have obtained almost all my yarn through them(colors and quality is just as good as going through school catalogs!)....and many other last minute items I might need(they're on my way to school). Well, our location is going to begin renovations, and have decided to cut the craft section down to almost nothing. There will be no more fabric and the yarn is probably going as well. The rest of the craft section will be downsized. We have Hobby Lobby, Michael's, and Jo-Ann's in the area, but they're prices are much higher!!!! I'm mad at Wal-Mart....but writing the company does no good. So I'm just venting here!!!

At True School, we utilise a song-lead teaching methodology whereby students are taught how to play their instruments while learning a contemporary song. Best part is, everyone gets to play live right from the first week of learning and finish with a Performance Showcase at the end of term where students get to show off their new talents by performing in a real life gig situation to their friends and family.
The Foundation: Learn Bass workshop is designed to teach musicians the basics of playing bass and laying the foundation for advancement into Pro classes.
Aimed at 13 - 18 year olds who have either come through TSM Kids or just have a passion for rock and pop music and are keen to learn to the next level. Sessions are more challenging than TSM Kids and the song arrangements more complex. Complete beginners are catered to as well as more advanced players. Whatever your level, TSM Junior is a great way to learn music you love, play live each week, meet great people, form bands and just enjoy making cool music.
Duration: Once a week for 1.5 hours.
Aimed at people aged over 18 years who have either come through TSM Junior or have a passion for rock and pop music and are keen to take their playing to the next level. Sessions are more challenging than TSM Junior and the song arrangements more complex. Complete beginners are catered to as well as more advanced players. Whatever your level, TSM Adult is a great way to learn music you love, play live each week, meet great people, form bands and just enjoy making amazing music.
Students need no previous experience or qualifications to register for these Music Workshops.
The sessions are geared towards absolute beginners and are a stepping stone to the professional bass courses.
The students should be fluent in English as that would be the medium of instruction.

The code in this repository is one approach to measuring patent claim breadth
using a semi supervised approach. For more details and background, please see
[this post on the Google Cloud Big Data
Blog.](https://cloud.google.com/blog/big-data/2018/07/measuring-patent-claim-breadth-using-google-patents-public-datasets)

## Prerequisites

This guide assumes access to a linux based operating system. Windows users may run into compatibility issues when running the commands below. Windows users should consider using a virtual machine.

#### Setup a Google Cloud Project and Install the gcloud sdk

Much of the code in this repository requires access to a Google Cloud Project.
Please setup an account before proceeding. To install gcloud, follow the guide
[here](https://cloud.google.com/sdk/docs/quickstarts). Then once its installed,
setup your sdk to reference your account:

`gcloud init`

#### Create a bucket where you'll store relevant data for this project and set some environmental variables.

Each of the steps below relies on Google Cloud Storage for various tasks like
writing logs or output files. You'll need your own bucket to run the steps below
or if you'd like to run only one portion of the steps. You can use our public
bucket gs://patent-claims-data which includes all the relevant input and output
files

```
export GCP_PROJECT=`gcloud config get-value project`
export BUCKET=gs://[YOUR BUCKET NAME]
gsutil mb $BUCKET
```

#### Enable relevant API's in the GCP console.

Dataflow and cloud ML require several api's to be enabled on your account.
Before running the examples below, you'll need the following two API's enabled:

1.  https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/library/dataflow.googleapis.com
2.  https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/library/ml.googleapis.com

#### Create a service account, download your keys and set a local environmental variable.

To do this follow [this
guide](https://cloud.google.com/docs/authentication/getting-started) for setting
the GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS environmental variable.

`export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS="[PATH TO DOWNLOADED JSON FILE]"`

#### Setup a virtual environment and install python dependencies.

Additionally, you'll likely want to work inside a python virtual environment.
You can set one up with the following commands:

```
virtualenv myenv
source myenv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
```

## A few sample commands

Below are a handful of sample commands that can be used as a reference on how to
run the scripts in this repository. For more info, see the blog post mentioned
above. Please note that all of the commands below will incur charges on your GCP
account. Most of the commands can be run for less than a dollar at current
prices, but hyperparameter tuning can easily become very expensive if you run
many trials. Consider setting [billing alerts and
limits](https://cloud.google.com/billing/docs/how-to/budgets) before running any
of the commands below.

### To run preprocessing pipeline and produce 1.4m training examples.

```
export OUTPUT_PATH="$BUCKET/training-data/"
python preprocess.py \
  --output_path=$OUTPUT_PATH \
  --project=$GCP_PROJECT \
  --runner=DataflowRunner \
  --pipeline_mode=train \
  --query_kep_pct=0.6 \
  --cpc_code_list='D,E,F,G,H'
```

### To run a local training job for a few steps to ensure your model trains.

#### First, set up a vocab file for an embedding column in the model

The model has an embedding column which is designed to embed CPC codes at the 4
digit level which allows the model to learn differences in feature impact across
technologies (i.e. a claim of the same length might be narrower in one subspace
than in another.)

To generate a vocab file, the simplest way is to run a query against the Google
Patents Public Data on BigQuery and save the output to a text file which we put
on GCP storage. To do this follow the commands below:

```
# Execute a query from the command line and pipe output to text file.
bq --project=$GCP_PROJECT query --max_rows=100000 --format=csv "$(cat generate_embedding_vocab.sql)" > ./cpc_embedding_vocab.txt
# Strip header and blank lines.
sed -i '2 d' cpc_embedding_vocab.txt
sed -i '/^\s*$/d' cpc_embedding_vocab.txt
# Copy to GCS for use in training and remove local copy.
gsutil cp ./cpc_embedding_vocab.txt $BUCKET
rm ./cpc_embedding_vocab.txt
```

#### Launch the local training job.

```
export CPC_EMBEDDING_VOCAB_FILE="$BUCKET/cpc_embedding_vocab.txt"
export GCS_TRAIN_FILES="$BUCKET/training-data/claim-data-train*.tfrecord.gz"
export GCS_EVAL_FILES="$BUCKET/training-data/claim-data-eval*.tfrecord.gz"
gcloud ml-engine local train \
 --package-path trainer \
 --module-name trainer.task \
 --job-dir './test' \
 -- --train-files $GCS_TRAIN_FILES \
    --eval-files $GCS_EVAL_FILES \
    --cpc-embedding-vocab-file $CPC_EMBEDDING_VOCAB_FILE \
    --train-steps 100 \
    --train-batch-size=10 \
    --eval-batch-size=10
```

### To run Hyperparameter Tuning and select the best model parameters (CAN BE EXPENSIVE).

Note - running this command can incur significant charges due to the number of
trials running. Make sure you have billing alerts and budgets set up to avoid
unexpected charges.

```
export JOB_NAME=tuning_$(date +"%s")
export GCS_JOB_DIR="$BUCKET/hptuning/$JOB_NAME"

gcloud ml-engine jobs submit training $JOB_NAME \
  --config hptuning_config.yaml \
  --runtime-version 1.6 \
  --job-dir $GCS_JOB_DIR \
  --module-name trainer.task \
  --package-path trainer/ \
  --region us-central1 \
  -- --train-steps 50000 \
     --train-files $GCS_TRAIN_FILES \
     --eval-files $GCS_EVAL_FILES \
     --cpc-embedding-vocab-file $CPC_EMBEDDING_VOCAB_FILE
```

### To run a cloud training job for 30000 steps with the default Hparams.

```
export JOB_NAME=patent_claims_$(date +"%s")
export GCS_JOB_DIR="$BUCKET/models/$JOB_NAME"

gcloud ml-engine jobs submit training $JOB_NAME \
  --scale-tier STANDARD_1 \
  --runtime-version 1.6 \
  --job-dir $GCS_JOB_DIR \
  --module-name trainer.task \
  --package-path trainer/ \
  --region us-central1 \
  -- --train-steps 30000 \
     --train-files $GCS_TRAIN_FILES \
     --eval-files $GCS_EVAL_FILES \
     --cpc-embedding-vocab-file $CPC_EMBEDDING_VOCAB_FILE
```

While your training job is running, logs will be written to GCS and you can
monitor progress with tensorboard using the command below. Note, because you're
fetching logs from GCS - there is some latency between starting tensorboard and
seeing results.

`tensorboard --logdir $GCS_JOB_DIR`

### To run preprocessing pipeline and produce input data to run inference on all pubs after 1995 in a D, E, F, G, or H class code:

```
export OUTPUT_PATH="$BUCKET/inference-data"
python preprocess.py \
--output_path=$OUTPUT_PATH \
--project=$GCP_PROJECT \
--runner=DataflowRunner \
--pipeline_mode=inference \
--cpc_code_list='D,E,F,G,H'
```

### Set up Your Model on Cloud ML

In a previous step, we trained a model and saved the final model to GCS. In the
next step, we'll use this model for batch inference by leveraging GCP's Cloud
ML. To use this service, we need to configure a model for online inference. To
read more about this, see [this
doc](https://cloud.google.com/ml-engine/docs/tensorflow/prediction-overview).

If you've been following along so far, the following commands will grab the
trained model files from GCP and set up a model version on cloud ML:

```
export MODEL_NAME=patent_claims
export VERSION='v1'
export SAVED_MODEL=`gsutil ls -d "$GCS_JOB_DIR/export/model/[0-9]*/"`
gcloud ml-engine models create $MODEL_NAME
gcloud ml-engine versions create $VERSION --model $MODEL_NAME --origin $SAVED_MODEL --runtime-version=1.4
export MODEL_VERSION_STR="$MODEL_NAME/versions/$VERSION"
```

### Run batch inference against all US Pubs in a D, E, F, G, or H class code.

Now that we have a model ready for predictions, we can run batch inference. Note
that the number of workers will affect how many requests are made against your
model's API.

```
export OUTPUT_PATH="$BUCKET/scored"
export INPUT_FILE_PATTERN="$BUCKET/inference-data/*.tfrecord.gz"
python ./batch_inference.py \
  --model_version_str=$MODEL_VERSION_STR \
  --input_file_pattern=$INPUT_FILE_PATTERN \
  --output_path=$OUTPUT_PATH \
  --num_workers=5 \
  --project=$GCP_PROJECT \
  --write_to_bigquery=True \
  --output_dataset='sandbox' \
  --output_table='claim_scores' \
  --runner=DataflowRunner
```

Diethyldiethoxysilane (DEDEOS) is a potential single molecular precursor for SiO2 growth. Additionally, DEDEOS may be applicable in a deposition scheme that will allow precise atomic layer control of SiO2 film thicknesses. Deposition of SiO2 on silicon using DEDEOS was studied in three regimes. In the first regime, the adsorption and decomposition of DEDEOS were studied using temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) under UHV conditions. TPD and FTIR results indicated that DEDEOS deposits ethyl and ethoxy species on the surface which decompose by a β-hydride elimination mechanism. In the second regime, step-wise SiO2 growth using DEDEOS was studied by laser-induced thermal desorption (LITD) and TPD as a function of repetitive growth cycles composed of DEDEOS deposition at 300 K followed by thermal annealing to 820 K. The amount of SiO2 growth per cycle initially decreased as a function of cycle until reaching a constant value after approximately 10 cycles. Finally, DEDEOS deposition of SiO2 was studied in a high pressure chamber at surface temperatures between 873 K and 1003 K and at a pressure of 0.5 Torr. The deposition of SiO2 as a function of exposure was found to display a fast initial growth step followed by a slower step which continued indefinitely. The activation energy for SiO2 growth by DEDEOS in the slower growth step was found to be 49 ± 6 kcal/mol. This activation energy is very similar to the activation energy of 45 kcal/mol observed for SiO2 growth by tetraethoxysilane (TEOS).

Republicans set to renew gold standard debate
By The Financial Times. Published on Aug 25, 2012 4:41pm
The gold standard has returned to mainstream US politics for the first time in 30 years with a "gold commission" set to become part of official Republican party policy.
Drafts of the GOP platform, which it will adopt at a convention in Tampa Bay next week, call for an audit of the Federal Reserve's monetary policy and a commission to look at restoring the link between the dollar and gold.
The move shows how five years of easy monetary policy — and the efforts of congressman Ron Paul — have made the once fringe idea of returning to gold-as-money a part of GOP debate.
Marsha Blackburn, a Republican congresswoman from Tennessee and co-chair of the platform committee, said the issues were not adopted merely to placate Paul and the delegates he picked up during his campaign for the GOP nomination.
"These were adopted because they are things that Republicans agree on," Blackburn said. "The House recently passed a bill on this and this is something that we think needs to be done."
The proposal is reminiscent of the Gold Commission created by former president Ronald Reagan in 1981, 10 years after Richard Nixon broke the link between gold and the dollar during the 1971 oil crisis. That commission ultimately supported the status quo. Any new commission would have to address a host of theoretical, empirical and practical issues.
"There is a growing recognition within the Republican party and in America more generally that we're not going to be able to print our way to prosperity," said Sean Fieler, chairman of the American Principles Project, a conservative group that has pushed for a return to the gold standard.
A commission would have no power except to make recommendations but Fieler said it would provide a chance to educate politicians and the public about the merits of a return to gold.
Inflation has remained under control in recent years, while gold has been volatile. The price of the metal is up by more than 500 per cent in dollar terms over the past decade.
A return to a fixed money supply would also remove the central bank's ability to offset demand shocks by varying interest rates. That could mean a more volatile economy and higher average unemployment over time.

MURRIETA—Feeding America Riverside-San Bernardino honored St. Martha's Community Food Pantry as its 2015 Agency of Year at a reception on November 19.
The parish ministry, which also includes a thrift store, serves about 4,200 people each month in the greater Murrieta, French Valley and Winchester areas. In addition to distributions at the pantry, volunteers deliver food to 25 home bound elderly and distribute food to about 30 homeless every week. The pantry is run by about 150 volunteers who last year donated 26,792 hours. 95% of the volunteers are parishioners of St. Martha Parish.
"We were chosen from among 600 pantries so this is quite an honor," said Maria Bhanukitsiri, manager of the pantry.
Feeding America Riverside-San Bernardino is formerly Second Harvest Food Bank.

Q: Retaining those replicates of a function which do not produce error Suppose I have a function which return result without any error when the sample size is large. When n is small, for few particular datasets, the function produces error and I just want to exclude those replicates entirely and work with the other replicates which don't have any issue. But once any replicate produce error,  all other replicates that execute become unusable. For example, consider the toy example below:
sim <- function(n){

x <- rbinom(n,1,0.3)
a <- x[1:(n/2)]
b <- x[((n/2)+1):n]
d <- c(table(a)[[1]],table(a)[[2]],table(b)[[1]],table(b)[[2]])
return(d)

}

 set.seed(5)
 ans1 <-replicate(100,sim(100))
 ans2 <- replicate(100,sim(30))#Error in table(b)[[2]] : subscript out of bounds

In this example, I want to retain those replicates of ans2 which have all the four cells c(table(a)[[1]],table(a)[[2]],table(b)[[1]],table(b)[[2]]). And remove those replicates which produce the error. Is there a way to fix that?

A: Use try and then remove anything with class try-error:
sim <- function(n){
  try({
    x <- rbinom(n,1,0.3)
    a <- x[1:(n/2)]
    b <- x[((n/2)+1):n]
    d <- c(table(a)[[1]],table(a)[[2]],table(b)[[1]],table(b)[[2]])
    return(d)
  }, silent = TRUE)
}

set.seed(5)
ans2 <- replicate(100,sim(30))

indx <- vapply(ans2, class, NA_character_) != "try-error"
ans2 <- ans2[indx]

A: My guess is that you are trying split the vector into 2 and count the number of 0s and 1s. One solution is to first create another vector that splits you 0s and 1s into 2:
x = c(rep(0,5),c(1,1,1,0,0))
a_or_b <- 1:10 > 10/2

We can see the above splits the 0s and 1s:
cbind(x,a_or_b)

      x a_or_b
 [1,] 0      0
 [2,] 0      0
 [3,] 0      0
 [4,] 0      0
 [5,] 0      0
 [6,] 1      1
 [7,] 1      1
 [8,] 1      1
 [9,] 0      1
[10,] 0      1

Now we use table:
table(x,a_or_b)

   a_or_b
x   FALSE TRUE
  0     5    2
  1     0    3

Now we write this as a function:
sim <- function(n){

x <- rbinom(n,1,0.3)
a_or_b <- 1:n > n/2
return(c(table(x,a_or_b)))
}

replicate(100,sim(30))
#no error

How Old I Act… I agree!!
by Jennifer | Jan 30, 2008 | Meme
I took this How Old Do You Act test that I found over at What If This Is As Good As It Gets! It said she acted younger than her age too, maybe that why I like her. LOL…
You Act Like You Are 21 Years Old
You are a twenty something at heart. You feel like an adult, and you're optimistic about life.
You feel excited about what's to come… love, work, and new experiences.
You're still figuring out your place in the world and how you want your life to shape up.
The world is full of possibilities, and you can't wait to explore many of them.
What Age Do You Act?

Stagecraft Podcast: Lynn Nottage on Her New Play's Surprising Link to Kathryn Bigelow

Lynn Nottage is a playwright best known for socially engaged realism ("Sweat," "Ruined"), so it's pretty surprising that her new play, "Mlima's Tale," is an expressionistic piece told from the point of view of an elephant. Also surprising? It was inspired by the Oscar-winning film director Kathryn Bigelow.
"Really, [the project] came to me when I began a dialogue with Kathryn Bigelow," Nottage, a two-time Pulitzer Prize winner, said on the latest episode of Stagecraft, Variety's theater podcast. "She said, 'I really want to do something about elephants and I feel like the right medium is theater, but I'm not a theater artist.' What I personally love about theater is that you can have a very direct dialogue with the audience, that it's much more intimate and that you can build empathy very quickly. I think she felt like film might be very distancing."
The play that grew out of that conversation with Bigelow, "Mlima's Tale," is now playing at Off Broadway's Public Theater after her last play, "Sweat," was nominated for a Tony and earned the Pulitzer last year. Because that was her second Pulitzer (after "Ruined" won the award in 2009), she already had an idea of what the award does for the lifespan of a play — and what it doesn't.
"'Ruined' also won the award, and I thought that in some ways it was going to amplify the life of that play," she said candidly on the podcast. "But a year after it won the Pulitzer Prize, it didn't have any professional productions. One, I think it has a very large cast. I think perhaps, thematically, it's really tough. Perhaps it's because it has an African woman at the center of its story. I don't know, other than I was disappointed that the play hasn't taken the journey that I would have hoped."
On Stagecraft, Nottage also talked about her work on the Netflix series "She's Gotta Have It," explained why she never shies from politics and activism, and spilled some details on the new musicals she's working on.

FIFA World Cup 2018: Portugal vs Spain live streaming India, IST time: When & Where to watch
Updated Jun 16, 2018 | 01:14 IST | Times Now Digital
Portugal vs Spain Live Streaming: Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo and Spain's Diego Costa scored a brace before Nacho put the 2010 champions on a 3-2 lead in FIFA World Cup 2018 Group-B tie.

One of the most anticipated matches in the league phase of the FIFA World Cup 2018, the Group B encounter between Portugal versus Spain took off to a rollicking start at the Fisht Stadium. Portuguese forward and captain Cristiano Ronaldo struck twice in the first half to make it 2-1 for Portugal at the end of the first 45 minutes. However, Diego Costa too bagged a brace, following a goal from Nacho as Spain bounced back from a goal deficit to lead 3-2 after 60 minutes of gametime.
Five minutes into the game, captain Cristiano Ronald converted from the spot, putting it right of David De Gea as Portugal took a 1-0 lead against the 2010 World Cup Champions. 20 minutes later, Spain striker Diego Costa pulled off the equaliser to make it all square in Sochi. In the dying minutes of the first half, a howler from De Gea allowed Ronaldo his second goal.
Costa once again erased out Ronaldo's header when a freekick from David Silva found Busquest towering over near the edge of the post to cross it in as Costa tapped it in. Three minutes later, some spectacular passing display from Spain at the edge of the box was followed by a screamer from Nacho down to the left corner well out of the reach of Rui Patricio.
Portugal, led by the mercurial Cristiano Ronaldo, will go into the match with great confidence, while it remains to be seen how Spain react to the off-field drama that unfolded on Wednesday that saw ex-manager Julen Lopetegui sacked and replaced by Fernando Hierro.
The line-ups for the match - Nacho who is starting on the right-hand side of the defence. Thiago also remains on the bench for Spain.
Spain: De Gea, Nacho, Pique, Ramos, Jordi Alba, Koke, Busquets, Silva, Iniesta, Isco, Costa;
Portugal: Ronaldo, Guesdes, Bernado Silva, Bruno Fernandes, Joao Moutinho, Carvalho, Guerreiro, Fonte, Pepe, Soares, Patricio

For many years OpenOLAT used prototype as the DOM library, scriptaculous as effect library and ExtJS as widget library.
On the other hand, jQuery is a DOM library with many excellent widgets available. It has become the industry standard and has mad prototype obsolete. Therefore be migrate towards jQuery to speed up and improve the user experience.
Remove all references to ExtJS/scriptaculous/prototype from body, errorpage, iframe injector etc.
Add jQuery resources and embed to body, errorpage, iframe injector etc.

Q: How to use race with rxjs 6 I have following statement which was working well with rxjs5.5 and redux observable 0.x. Now, I'm using redux-observable v1, and rxjs v6. I coulnd't figure out how to trasform race for following code (since it's usage deprecated).
(action$, state$) =>
    action$.pipe(
      ofType(REQUEST),
      switchMap(action => {
        return race(
          action$.pipe(
            ofType(REQUEST_CANCEL),
            take(1),
            mapTo(
              observableOf(
                failure({
                  description: "Cancelled by user."
                })
              )
            ),
            ajax(`url`).pipe(
              map(response => response.response),
              map(data => success(data)),
              catchError(error =>
                handleError(FAILURE, error)
              )
            )
          )
        );
      })
    ),

There migh be some other problem, It doesn't make the request. It think race is the problem.

A: I missed the updated documentation,
import { ajax } from 'rxjs/ajax';

const fetchUserEpic = action$ => action$.pipe(
  ofType(FETCH_USER),
  mergeMap(action => race(
    ajax.getJSON(`/api/users/${action.payload}`).pipe(
      map(response => fetchUserFulfilled(response))
    ),
    action$.pipe(
      ofType(FETCH_USER_CANCELLED),
      map(() => incrementCounter()),
      take(1)
    )
  ))
);

What the Fed's latest historic interest rate hike means
New York CNN —
The IRS will start accepting 2022 federal income tax returns on January 23, the tax agency announced on Thursday.
Of course, you don't have to file your return that early. The official due date for returns this year will be Tuesday, April 18, the agency announced. That's because April 15 — the traditional due date — falls on a Saturday; and Monday, April 17 is Emancipation Day — an official holiday in the District of Columbia, where the IRS is headquartered.
The filing due date is the day by which you must have filed your 2022 individual tax return and paid any remaining federal income taxes owed for last year. But anyone can apply for — and will automatically be granted — a six-month extension until October 16, 2023 to file their return if they submit Form 4868 by April 18.
Submitting that form, however, will not extend the deadline by which you have to pay any remaining income taxes for 2022. That due date is still April 18.

In addition, tax filing and payment deadlines will be extended for anyone living in counties declared federal disaster areas due to recent natural disasters.
These include storm victims in several counties of California. They now have until May 15, 2023 to file their returns.
It also includes tax filers who don't live in a federally declared disaster area but whose relevant tax records are located there (e.g., with a tax preparer or at a business in the area).
Getting your refund quickly
The majority of US tax filers every year are typically owed a refund. Last year, the average refund issued was $3,176.
The IRS says it is likely to deliver your refund within 21 days of receiving your return — its typical turnaround time — but only if you fill out your return accurately and completely, file it electronically and opt to have your refund delivered through direct deposit.
The agency advises against filing paper returns, if possible.
For anyone expecting a refund due to the Earned Income Tax Credit or Additional Child Tax Credit, the IRS is prohibited by law from issuing it before mid-February, in order to give the agency time to stop fraudulent refunds from going out. This year, the IRS said EITC refunds will be available "for many" in their bank accounts or on their debit cards by February 28.
While millions of tax filers pay a tax professional every year to help them prepare and file their tax returns — or purchase tax software to do so themselves — the IRS offers a free file program for anyone with a 2022 adjusted gross income of $73,000 or less. The program lets you prepare and electronically file your return without charge using software from participating tax preparation companies.
In addition, the IRS also offers Volunteer Income Tax Assistance and Tax Counseling for the Elderly programs, which are free basic tax return preparation for those who generally make $60,000 or less.
IRS expects customer service to improve this season
During the prior two filing seasons, tax filers experienced an array of customer service problems at the IRS due to staffing shortages and other pandemic-related difficulties at the IRS. Last year, for instance, the agency was only able to handle 13% of the calls it received from filers and faced a large backlog of unprocessed returns.
This year should be different. "This filing season is the first to benefit the IRS and our nation's tax system from multi-year funding in the Inflation Reduction Act," said Acting IRS Commissioner Doug O'Donnell in a statement released Thursday. "With these new additional resources, taxpayers and tax professionals will see improvements in many areas of the agency this year. We've trained thousands of new employees to answer phones and help people."
The agency said it has hired more than 5,000 people to take calls and added more in-person staff to help support taxpayers.
