Change Is Going To Come, So Prepare Your People For It
by Cate Murden
There's no shortage of surveys that will tell leaders how the majority of change programmes fail. At PUSH, we think the best indication of measuring the success of your own programmes is to look at your people. Are they happy? Are they healthy? Or has absenteeism increased since you implemented the change?
The digital age means that many organisations are embarking on major digital transformation programmes that in some cases are based on entirely new business models and ways of working. This brings radical change to the structure of the workforce and how people work. Employees, however, are frequently not consulted in the change and can end up feeling it has been foisted on them. They become demotivated and quickly disengage with their role.
Change is inevitable at some point during an organisation's lifecycle, whether it be because of digital transformation or a merger or acquisition. They were wise words indeed, when David E Morrison wrote that "For leaders to help people change, they do not need to understand change – they need to understand people". Sadly, many leaders don't.
If implemented properly, change is not a bad thing and at the same time as making the organisation more profitable and efficient, can make working life better and more interesting for its employees. Technology in particular can help to remove the mundane and routine from a person's job and make their work-life more interesting.
New technology can give them more space and time to be creative and offers more autonomy, which will appeal to most people. In turn this will make them more motivated and innovative.
PUSH supported media company Yahoo when it merged with AOL in 2017 to form the company, Oath. The brief was to provide a programme that focused on building the necessary resilience required, creating a growth mind set while employees continued to operate productively throughout a six-month period, leading up to the Verizon deal close.
The Yahoo THRIVE multi-discipline programme was tailored precisely for the Yahoo team and built entirely on the findings from it's in-depth audit. Its aim was to give individuals the skills and energy needed to recharge and perform at the highest level.
Initially running as a six-month programme in London, it was soon extended to 12 months and rolled out in Munich, Dublin and Paris. It featured over 300 talks, workshops and one-to-one sessions.
We ensured that the whole of the Yahoo team was emotionally and mentally prepared for the forthcoming sale and that they were strong enough to continue delivering in their roles throughout this challenging period, enabling the business to outperform expectations.
One team member commented: 'Whilst we still did not know what was coming our way, we felt prepared for it, whatever that might be'.
Yahoo THRIVE enabled the Yahoo team to maintain their energy and achieve sales targets throughout the Verizon deal close period.
In Philosophies of Organizational Change, authors Smith and Graetz point out that an individual experience of change is not just a part of the change management process, but it is the most important component of it. All leaders should have this top-of-mind during any period of change.
The companies that are best able to communicate and effect change are modern thinking companies that have flatter structures, are less hierarchical and have more collaborative cultures. They are more like organisms and are adept at using adaptive and contingent systems. They also have a natural tendency to involve employees in what is happening at the organisation in the same way a start-up would. They are flexible, agile and used to change so they understand the importance of making their people central to it.
Those companies that retain traditional hierarchies and purely focus on process and systems when effecting change are most likely to fail and lose a huge amount of goodwill from the workforce which they may never get back.
The old adage claims that no-one likes change. At PUSH we challenge that notion since the right kind of change, implemented well, can benefit everyone and make the organisation and its people happier and healthier. Helping individuals to overcome limiting thoughts or behaviours removes the fear factor from change. This will ensure that they remain productive and performing well, even if they feel challenged or stressed by what's going on around them. In short, the key is to help people become comfortable with the uncomfortable.
How are you supporting your employees during times of change? What effects of change are you seeing on your team? Is digital transformation affecting the wellness of your staff? Get in touch to find out how we can supprot you and your workforce during times of transition.

SPI Solar ("SPI") a leading developer of photovoltaic ("PV") solar energy facilities ("SEF"), today announced that it has entered into an engineering, procurement and construction ("EPC") contract to serve as EPC contractor for a 1.69MW DC photovoltaic solar project in New Jersey. The system will be a roof-mounted distributed generation system for on-site power consumption. The project will be owned and operated by NuGen Capital Management, LLC ("NuGen"), through a NuGen wholly owned subsidiary.
NuGen works with large-scale energy users and real estate owners to develop, own, and operate commercial-scale PV solar systems. "I am pleased to be working with SPI once again on this project, and look forward to others in the future as NuGen seeks to invest capital in additional opportunities throughout the Northeast," said David Milner, CEO for NuGen. "SPI's experience base and track record in the solar industry make a big difference when it comes to selecting a partner for projects such as these," Mr. Milner concluded. The 1.69 MW project was co-developed by NuGen and Solaire Development, LLC ("Solaire") through a joint development agreement between the two companies. NuGen and Solaire are currently in the process of collaborating on additional projects.
Construction on the project is scheduled to begin in July 2011.

Many forex traders spend their time looking for that perfect moment to enter the markets or a telltale sign that screams "buy" or "sell." And while the search can be fascinating, the result is always the same. The truth is, there is no one way to trade the forex markets. As a result, traders must learn that there are a variety of indicators that can help to determine the best time to buy or sell a forex cross rate.
Here are four different market indicators that most successful forex traders rely upon.
It is possible to make money using a countertrend approach to trading. However, for most traders the easier approach is to recognize the direction of the major trend and attempt to profit by trading in the trend's direction. This is where trend-following tools come into play. Many people try to use them as separate trading system; while this is possible, the real purpose of a trend-following tool is to suggest whether you should be looking to enter a long position or a short position. So let's consider one of the simplest trend-following methods – the moving average crossover.
Figure 1 displays the 50-day/200-day moving average crossover for the euro/yen cross. The theory here is that the trend is favorable when the 50-day moving average is above the 200-day average and unfavorable when the 50-day is below the 200-day. As the chart shows, this combination does a good job of identifying the major trend of the market – at least most of the time. However, no matter what moving-average combination you choose to use, there will be whipsaws.
Figure 2 shows a different combination – the 10-day/30-day crossover. The advantage of this combination is that it will react more quickly to changes in price trends than the previous pair. The disadvantage is that it will also be more susceptible to whipsaws than the longer term 50-day/200-day crossover.
Now we have a trend-following tool to tell us whether the major trend of a given currency pair is up or down. But how reliable is that indicator? As mentioned earlier, trend-following tools are prone to being whipsawed. So it would be nice to have a way to gauge whether the current trend-following indicator is correct or not. For this, we will employ a trend-confirmation tool. Much like a trend-following tool, a trend-confirmation tool may or may not be intended to generate specific buy and sell signals. Instead, we are looking to see if the trend-following tool and the trend-confirmation tool agree.
In essence, if both the trend-following tool and the trend-confirmation tool are bullish, then a trader can more confidently consider taking a long trade in the currency pair in question. Likewise, if both are bearish, then the trader can focus on finding an opportunity to sell short the pair in question.
In essence, when the trend-following moving average combination is bearish (short-term average below long-term average) and the MACD histogram is negative, then we have a confirmed downtrend. When both are positive, then we have a confirmed uptrend.
After opting to follow the direction of the major trend, a trader must decide whether he or she is more comfortable jumping in as soon as a clear trend is established or after a pullback occurs. In other words, if the trend is determined to be bullish, the choice becomes whether to buy into strength or buy into weakness. If you decide to get in as quickly as possible, you can consider entering a trade as soon as an uptrend or downtrend is confirmed. On the other hand, you could wait for a pullback within the larger overall primary trend in the hope that this offers a lower risk opportunity. For this, a trader will rely on an overbought/oversold indicator.
Figure 5 displays the three-day RSI for the euro/yen cross. Generally speaking, a trader looking to enter on pullbacks would consider going long if the 50-day moving average is above the 200-day and the three-day RSI drops below a certain trigger level, such as 20, which would indicate an oversold position. Conversely, the trader might consider entering a short position if the 50-day is below the 200-day and the three-day RSI rises above a certain level, such as 80, which would indicate an overbought position. Different traders may prefer using different trigger levels.
The last type of indicator that a forex trader needs is something to help determine when to take a profit on a winning trade. Here, too, there are many choices available. In fact, the three-day RSI can also fit into this category. In other words, a trader holding a long position might consider taking some profits if the three-day RSI rises to a high level of 80 or more. Conversely, a trader holding a short position might consider taking some profit if the three-day RSI declines to a low level, such as 20 or less.
Another useful profit-taking tool is a popular indicator known as Bollinger Bands®. This tool takes the standard deviation of price-data changes over a period, and then adds and subtracts it from the average closing price over that same time frame, to create trading "bands." While many traders attempt to use Bollinger Bands® to time the entry of trades, they may be even more useful as a profit-taking tool.
A final profit-taking tool would be a "trailing stop." Trailing stops are typically used as a method to give a trade the potential to let profits run, while also attempting to avoid losing any accumulated profit. There are many ways to arrive at a trailing stop. Figure 7 illustrates just one of these ways.
The trade shown in Figure 7 assumes that a short trade was entered in the forex market for the euro/yen on January 1, 2010. Each day the average true range over the past three trading days is multiplied by five and used to calculate a trailing stop price that can only move sideways or lower (for a short trade), or sideways or higher (for a long trade).
If you are hesitant to get into the forex market and are waiting for an obvious entry point, you may find yourself sitting on the sidelines for a long while. By learning a variety of forex indicators, you can determine suitable strategies for choosing profitable times to back a given currency pair. Also, continued monitoring of these indicators will give strong signals that can point you toward a buy or sell signal. As with any investment, strong analysis will minimize potential risks.

The classic Sci-Fi television series Farscape was about John Crichton, a human astronaut who got sucked through a wormhole and discovered himself in a distant part of the universe surrounded by strange life-forms. In one particular episode, he encountered a wormhole that allowed him to return to Earth, something he had been searching for since the day he got sucked away from home. He returned through the wormhole and was followed by some of his alien friends. While some people handled the aliens' arrival well, most did not. One of his friends was killed and dissected. The others were all locked in cages until he was forced to escape. Eventually, John noticed that some of the details didn't add up. Apparently, John had never returned to Earth, but an alien species which was looking for a new home had been testing humanity through John's memories to see if they would be accepted. Humanity didn't pass the test, although John did.
Quite often, we encounter tests without realizing that we are being tested. James wrote, "Consider it a great joy, my brothers, whenever you experience various trials and temptations, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance" (James 1:2-3, SPT*). While James went on to talking about how our trials can serve to mature us, he takes for granted what we can easily forget: trials and temptations are tests of faith. We tend to do better on tests when we know we are taking them. We often make better decisions when we know people are watching us and grading us on those decisions. Trials and temptations are the same way, but we often fail to recognize them for what they are: a test of faith.
How we handle a trial, how we view the trial, changes when we realize that our faith is being tested. When we realize that the ultimate decision is whether to trust our God or follow our own desires and wisdom, we normally find the trials and temptations easier to navigate than when we simply ask, "How should I handle this?" When we're tempted to provide for ourselves in less than honest ways, recognizing the decision as a test of faith clarifies which course of action we should take. When we face a situation so difficult we are tempted to give up, viewing it as a test of faith helps us discover the resolve to continue.
Whatever trials or temptations you may be facing, remember that they are tests of your faith. Sometimes just remembering that can help you pass the test.

Вычисления в реальном времени — класс задач, решаемых в рамках теории алгоритмов и впервые рассмотренных  в 1962 году. Обычно задачи формулируются в терминах абстрактных вычислителей, таких как машина Тьюринга или машина Поста, и связаны с исследованиями свойств монотонно возрастающих функций , для которых существует генератор последовательностей выходных символов, печатающих на -м такте работы на ленте , если  для некоторого , и  в противном случае. Такие функции называются «вычислимыми в реальное время».

Решения подобных задач могут использоваться в качестве теоретического базиса для доказательства корректности и эффективности алгоритмов, используемых в системах реального времени.

We also considered several cases where people who were dying had extremely poor experiences in getting support outside normal working hours. This can be because emergency medical services are often under pressure out of hours, and many specialist palliative care services are not able to provide round-the-clock availability.
Family watched loved one suffer because the palliative care team were not available to help control woman's distressing symptoms in last hours of her life
Ms B was a 56-year-old woman with epilepsy who suffered a cardiac arrest at home. She was resuscitated and was admitted to the intensive care unit in hospital. Two days later, the clinical team decided that there was little more that could be done to actively treat Ms B because she had suffered severe brain damage when her heart stopped. Staff discussed this with Ms B's son and her sister, Mrs A, and Ms B was treated using the Liverpool Care Pathway.
At around midnight the following day, Ms B's care was transferred to a general ward. The information that the intensive care unit gave the general ward before the transfer is not documented. Also, the medication Ms B was given on the intensive care unit was not written up for use on the general ward, which meant Ms B did not get pain relief and sedation on the general ward until 3.30am. At this time, a nurse noted that Ms B was suffering from a fever and was having a seizure, and that the medication had little effect in controlling her symptoms of stiffness, twitching and gurgling.
Five hours later, the ward sister asked the consultant to review Ms B because she had continued to be unsettled, despite being given additional pain relief and sedation overnight. The consultant prescribed additional sedation, which Ms B did not receive for nearly another two hours. Ms B's symptoms remained the same, so the ward sister called the palliative care team for help. This team would only have been available from 9am, because its staff did not work overnight. At 11.45am, the palliative care team prescribed additional pain relief and sedation for Ms B, but she died shortly after.
Ms B's sister and son remained at her bedside throughout this time and described how distressing it was to witness her rapid breathing and her chest bubbling while they waited for the palliative care team to relieve her symptoms.
The Trust's decision to withdraw active treatment and place Ms B on an end-of-life care pathway was appropriate, and had been properly discussed with Ms B's family. However, we said that Ms B needed to be treated in an environment with intensive nursing and appropriate medical staff who were available to prescribe and administer medication that was needed once the decision to withdraw active treatment was made. But this did not happen until the palliative care team was called, and there were unnecessary delays in giving Ms B pain relief and sedation on the general ward.
We said that because national guidance discourages the transfer of patients between the hours of 10pm and 7am, this situation could have been avoided had Ms B not been transferred to the general ward overnight, when the palliative care team was not available. It could also have been avoided if the transferring intensive care team and the receiving ward team had carried out an appropriate handover. We agreed that Ms B's son and her sister have been caused significant unnecessary distress at witnessing their loved one suffer because her symptoms were poorly controlled.
Poor communication Poor care planning

Q: Convert Json Object into String Here's my code snippet:
#include <json.hpp>
using json = nlohmann::json;

chat_message m; // helpter class to send the message

json j;
j["name"] = "States";
j["type "]= "Regular";
j["num"] = 4;

m.body_length( j.asString().size() ); // throws error on j.asString

I want to change this whole JSON object j to std::string and send it to the server.
How do I convert this object into std::string?
I tried using asString. I am new to this JSON things.

A: Serialize the JSON object to get an std::string using json::dump() method.
Always refer to the documentation first to understand the APIs of any library you're using.
Here's an example (live):
#include <iostream>
#include <nlohmann/json.hpp>
using json = nlohmann::json;

int main()
{
    json j;
    j["name"] = "States";
    j["type"] = "Regular";
    j["num"] = 4;

    const auto s = j.dump(); // serialize to std::string
    std::cout << "JSON string: " << s << '\n';
    std::cout << "JSON size  : " << s.size() << '\n';

    return 0;
}

Output:
JSON string: {"name":"States","num":4,"type":"Regular"}
JSON size  : 42

A: The process of converting a JSON object to a string is called serialization.
According to the documentation, the method you need to call is j.dump().
Here is an example from the documentation:
// explicit conversion to string
std::string s = j.dump();    // {"happy":true,"pi":3.141}

// serialization with pretty printing
// pass in the amount of spaces to indent
std::cout << j.dump(4) << std::endl;
// {
//     "happy": true,
//     "pi": 3.141
// }

Canadian police have arrested one suspect after a "multiple fatality" shooting in Fredericton, New Brunswick.
One resident told CBC News that he heard a series of shots ring out around 7 am.
He described hearing "firecracker" sounds in the distance, then again closer to his house.
"I looked out the window and there were three police cars on the street just across from where I live," said another witness in the area.
"I saw one cop just standing against the building … like he was waiting for somebody to come out."
In Moncton, the province's largest city, a 24-year-old man shot five officers from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in 2014, killing three and severely injuring two.
The attack was the worst attack on the RCMP in almost 10 years, and Moncton's first homicide since 2010.


The Aegon Nottingham Challenge was an annual tennis tournament played in Nottingham, England. The men's tournament was part of the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) Challenger Tour. The women's event was played in International Tennis Federation (ITF) Women's Circuit.
In 2015, both events were moved to the top level of professional tennis, with the men's tournament becoming an ATP World Tour event and the women's tournament becoming a WTA Tour event.
The tournament is held annually at the Nottingham Tennis Centre within the University Park area of Nottingham.

Challenge for independent governance committees to 'deliver something meaningful' for pension savers, experts say
Out-Law Analysis | 08 Jun 2016 | 12:14 pm | 4 min. read
FOCUS: A desire to deliver genuine value for policyholders comes across very clearly from the first tranche of annual reports published by workplace personal pension independent governance committees (IGCs). Year two of the new governance regime will give them the opportunity to do just that.
Established in April 2014 in response to then-consumer protection watchdog the Office of Fair Trading's critical report into the defined contribution (DC) pension market, IGCs were set up to fulfil broadly the same role for members of workplace personal pension schemes as trustees perform in occupational pension schemes. IGCs have a duty to act in the interests of scheme members, independently of employers and providers; and must annually report on the scheme's value for money and performance against a range of quality standards.
The IGCs have now all published their first annual reports with a mix of styles and approaches - and even a few that don't appear to tick off all the compliance content required under Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) rules. But despite the different approaches, what comes across very clearly is a desire among IGC chairs to deliver something meaningful for policyholders, to the extent permitted by the regulatory regime, according to pensions law expert Tom Barton of Pinsent Masons, the law firm behind Out-Law.com.
"This is an important sentiment, because it goes to the heart of why IGCs were established in the first place," he said. "And although much of the associated action may trouble providers to varying degrees, there's a general recognition that it needs to be done. After all, the success of IGCs generally will go a long way in keeping the Competition and Markets Authority at bay."
In its DC pensions market study, the OFT concluded that the legal test for making a market investigation reference to the competition authorities had been met. However, it ruled out making such a reference at the time due to the regulator's commitment to introduce IGCs and conduct a legacy audit of scheme charges.
At a recent seminar hosted by Pinsent Masons and Capita, the employee benefit consultancy, industry experts reviewed the solid start delivered by the IGCs during their first year of operation, as well as the work that still needs to be done to help the IGCs develop their own identities. Standards in DC continue to evolve, as will the activity of IGCs and the content of the annual report covering that activity.
All providers are now committed to prioritising action in relation to so-called legacy schemes. Implementation plans were drawn up with the IGCs over the course of last year and many of these were reported on in the annual reports recently published by the IGCs. In a number of cases providers have agreed to switch policyholders into new schemes or investments with lower associated charges.
But Barton said that providers would find it challenging to implement these switches on a bulk basis even though this sort of activity is routinely performed by trustees of trust-based pension schemes.
"The regulatory regime is unhelpfully restrictive, and hinders the sort of bulk changes that are routine in trust-based occupational pension schemes. The policymakers and regulators know about this, but have shown little enthusiasm for giving providers the same sort of powers as trustees, perhaps in conjunction with IGCs. This means delivering on implementation plans will need careful consideration of policy terms, consumer protection legislation and an analysis of legal risk," he said.
All DC workplace pension schemes are subject to value for money assessments by an independent body. In relation to workplace personal pension schemes the independent body in question is the IGC. The concept of value for money does not have a precise definition.
Unsurprisingly, finding out what scheme members actually value has been one of the biggest challenges for IGCs in their first year of operation, given the historical problems created by the lack of engagement by scheme members, according to Gary Smith, head of DC pensions at Capita.
"Getting a clearer picture of what is of value to and valued by members is an important part of the regulatory framework - and will need to develop over time," he said.
The issue arises because FCA rules require the IGC annual reports to set out the arrangements put in place by the provider to ensure that the views of relevant policyholders are directly represented to the IGC.
In many cases, group personal pension schemes also have to deal with a "multiplicity" of default funds, developed either due to changes introduced by the provider or due to bespoke investment strategies designed by consultants, Smith said. This creates further challenges for IGCs, given their accountability for the suitability of each of these default strategies for discrete membership demographics.
Getting to grips with IGC duties
The FCA rules also require IGCs to look after the interests of policyholders, both as a collective and as individuals.
"This is a delicate balancing act, and demands a strong understanding of the policyholders, their interests and concerns," Barton said. "This is a key element of value for money assessments"
The problem is that this IGC duty is not quite the same as the more familiar duty in trust law to look after member interests. According to Barton it is important to bear in mind that the rules developed by the FCA for IGCs are "not a mirror" of the duties applicable to trustees under trust law.
"The similarities are there and, in general, taking a trustee-like approach is not a bad starting point for an IGC," he said. "But, when there are difficult decisions to make, IGCs need to be sure that they are playing by the right rules. Acting outside of their remit could do more harm than good – and could even have unwelcome consequences for committee members."
Action undertaken in 2016 will reported on in further annual reports in April 2017. In the same timescale the FCA will undertake a review of the effectiveness of IGCs. The review will assess how effective IGCs are in helping pension providers deliver value for money for workplace pension policyholders. This will include their effectiveness against the legacy audit recommendations.

My father who is 87 is a man who has everything he wants, so when holidays like Father's Day come around, it's hard to find something that he will enjoy. He does love chocolate, though, so this year I decided to give him Chocolate of the Month through a company called C&H Clubs.
A couple of holiday seasons ago, I gave a monthly beer subscription to my son-in-law and he really enjoyed it, so I thought chocolate might bring the same enjoyment to my dad.
I went on the website and purchased the subscription, indicating that I wanted a notification email sent to Daddy on the day before Father's Day.
No email arrived, so when Father's Day came, luckily I called to wish him a happy day, and found out in the phone call that he had had no notification. Instead the email arrived on Monday, June 16, the day after Father's Day.
The email read, and I quote: "Happy Father Dr. Clifford" While I do hope he is a happy father, it should have read, "Happy Father's Day." And if they had used his name, it should have read "Dr. Tillman."
OK, so that's not too big a deal, but then I received notification via email that the chocolate had been shipped. Mother and Daddy did not receive it on the day Fed Ex said they had delivered it.
My parents live on acreage that is sort of below a neighborhood. Their street address is on the street, so while they have a next door neighbor, his house is next to their driveway, but their house is about 100 yards away from the street. The day after the Fed Ex delivery, their neighbor walked down to bring them the chocolate which was for my father. The neighbor, thinking the package was for him (?), opened the chocolate and ate a few pieces.
So for Father's Day, my father received his gift late, opened, and partially eaten. He was not notified about his gift until the day after Father's Day, and the note was written in such a way that I suspected the company of outsourcing their gift notification to a non-English speaking company.
I sat with this for a while, but decided to call The Gourmet Chocolate of the Month Club to complain. The man I spoke to felt really bad about all of this. He put me on hold to see what he could find out. While he was away from the phone, I decided that I would be happy if he would extend Daddy's subscription for a month so that he could have his full subscription of unopened chocolates delivered to him.
I was all ready to be assertive and ask for a month's subscription when the customer service rep, Sheldon, returned to the phone. He acknowledged that they didn't keep their outgoing emails long enough to be able to look at the faulty email and sending date, but he apologized for that and said that he would like to offer to extend Daddy's subscription for one month beyond the end date to make up for the faulty partially eaten June delivery!


Samsung will announce its new phones on February 20. As is often the case, we already know an awful lot about these mobiles. A masala of leaks, rumors and reports from "insider sources" make it seem there's nothing more to know about the Galaxy S10 and its siblings.
But what are those rumors? And how trustworthy are they? Do not take to look the hidden nuggets of truth.
Samsung's S-series flagships usually come in two flavors, the standard phone and the larger "Plus" model, which has a larger battery and an extra camera. However, this year we'll see three models.
The main two are familiar. There's a 6.1-inch Galaxy S10 and a 6.4-inch Galaxy S10 Plus. A larger screen and an additional camera marks the Plus model as the enthusiast's choice, at least until the next.
A Samsung Galaxy S10E fills in the line-up. The main reason for this is that of the iPhone XR. This will probably be marketed as the "accessible" alternative. It has the same processor, but a smaller screen with much less pronounced curvature and "only" three cameras, two on the back and one up front. This should significantly reduce its production cost. However, the Galaxy S10E will probably only look affordable in comparison with its siblings, not in isolation.
Some also believe we'll see a S10 on February 20, the S10 X. If you're looking for a Galaxy S10 Plus, with a 6.7-inch screen. It also supposedly has 1TB storage and 5G, making it a showcase of tech, rather than an entirely practical proposition for the average buyer with a contract up for renewal.
There's another reason to query this rumor. The upcoming Samsung folding phone has been dubbed the "Galaxy X", too. It seems unlikely Samsung would like to recycle a name for such a show-off device.
The Samsung Galaxy S10 prices matter, and not just in terms of whether you can afford them or not. They will affect the pricing of subsequent high-end phones. Gizmodo claims to have received information from a "reliable" source. And there are no great surprises here.
The Samsung Galaxy S10E will reportedly cost £ 669, with 128GB storage. You'll pay £ 799 for the Samsung Galaxy S10 and £ 899 for the Galaxy S10 Plus. These two can be upgraded from 128GB storage to 512GB for £ 200.
Samsung's more contentious Galaxy S10 X will cost £ 1,399 according to the leak, and has 1TB storage.
If you're hoping for a Samsung Galaxy S10 phone in February, forget it. Samsung is working with a screen, but it will not be part of the main S10 line.
The "Infinity O" display is likely to be the main design feature of the S10 family. We've already seen this style of screen in other phones, including the Honor View 20 and Samsung's own Galaxy A8S. It's where you're going to be cut out of the screen.
Panel type is the big difference, though. To date all punch-holes. The Galaxy S10 will debut Samsung Display's own OLED solution. These may earn a drum roll, as well as other high-end punch-hole phones, including iPhones if Apple takes such a design route.
Display innovation has already happened. Get it out to the public is the Galaxy S10's job.
Samsung flagships tend to use both Samsung and Qualcomm chipsets, depending on the model and territory in question. If this continues, the Galaxy S10 twins will either use a Snapdragon 855 or Exynos 9820.
The Exynos chipset is somewhat similar to the Kirin 980 already used in top Honor and Huawei phones. It bundles its cores into three clusters rather than two, and uses it to Mali-G76 GPU. The Exynos has two more graphics cores, though.
Limits of high-end mobile phone hardware are a legitimate concern for only a tiny fraction of real people. But the Snapdragon 855 has a very powerful graphics chipset, based on Qualcomm's own claims. This CPU is the Adreno 640. Qualcomm says it's 20 per cent more powerful than the Adreno 630 en replaces.
Processor stats may constitute some of the most believable Galaxy S10 rumors. But they are also some of the least interesting. The Snapdragon 855 and Exynos 9820 were announced in 2018.
We've reached a fork, though. Samsung and Sony have built 48-megapixel sensors for phones that use a process called pixel binning. In this case it means four sensor pixels can be grouped and treated as a single one. As in the Huawei P20 Pro and Honor View 20, this can lead to a very low-light day.
In October 2018, many thought the Galaxy S10 family would use these sensors. However, just weeks before release, they will use an arguably more conventional array.
The Galaxy S10 phones are likely to have a 12-megapixel standard view camera and a 12-megapixel zoom camera. A question mark over the third, spotted in scores of renders of the S10 and S10 Plus, but not the S10E. This could be a standard depth sensor, which seems to be unlikely, an ultra-wide camera or a ToF 3D Pro and Honor View 20.
A ToF, or time-of-flight, camera uses a laser or near-IR transmitter to "invisibly" illuminated objects, and the sensor judges are based on an analysis of the reflected signal. Similar techniques are used in IR camera aufocus aids, but a ToF camera can be used to analyze scene depths per-pixel.
Of course, stereoscopic depth systems. They are not just as good as they are. A ToF camera should make it easier for you, track people's limbs in AR games and apps.
There's a problem. Google's augmented reality platformer does not support hardware ToF. Any applications for it until this changes will boil down to manufacturer-specific gimmicks. Let's hope Oppo and Honor know something we do not have as ToF cameras. Otherwise it suggests their design policy is to shove any new piece of tech into a phone with no justification beyond novelty.
It's certainly does not nowadays.
5g has been around as a tech buzzword for so long, it makes "blockchain" seem a sapling. However, rumors suggest the S10 and S10 Plus will not be the models to actually have the requisite hardware for it.
Either the Galaxy S10 X or Galaxy X, Samsung's folding phone, is expected to be soon. This will not be true mainstream phones, so why not 5G in the popular models?
OnePlus CEO Carl Pei suggested in 2018 that 5G will add several hundred dollars to the price of its first mobile phone with next-gen mobile internet. Phone prices are already contentious. There's also no great benefit to 5G phone in 2019.
5G standards were only nailed down in 2018, and actual 5G trials are in their infancy in the US. Adding 5G to a phone like the S10 brings more cost then benefit right now.
The Galaxy S10 phones are expected to use an in-screen fingerprint scanner. These are used in many higher end phones, including the Huawei Mate 20 Pro and OnePlus 6T.
However, the Galaxy S10 is a little different. Qualcomm's ultrasonic scanners. It sends an inaudible high-frequency pulse through your finger, and then analyzes the returned signal. Map of print, this is affected by the bumps and ridges of your finger. The technology is apparently not off by wet fingers. Optical and capacitive solutions often are.
Qualcomm has made ultrasonic finger scanners since 2016, but this will be the first time we've seen one embedded in a display.
The next generation of Wi-Fi is the Samsung Galaxy S10 feature most likely to be ignored. It is important, but it is no more than a generational shift to become invisible before it is even noticed by most.
Some call it Wi-Fi 6, others call it Wi-Fi ax, which shows more is the successor to Wi-Fi ac most phones and routers have. The differences? Other recent generations of Wi-Fi.
The theoretical speed ceiling is raised hugely, with at least 4x throughput increase. It can be connected to the same time, more quickly. And the most important feature for the Galaxy S10 family itself, it uses less power. However, to get Wi-Fi 6 benefits you'll need to Wi-Fi ax router. Everybody will not be one of them.

2 climbers die in accident on Switzerland's Matterhorn
BERLIN (AP) — Swiss police say two climbers have died in an accident on the upper reaches of the famed Matterhorn mountain.
Police in Valais canton (state) said Thursday that the two men, one of them a mountain guide, were hit by a falling rock and fell. The accident happened on Wednesday morning at around 4,250 meters (13,950 feet) above sea level and the bodies were recovered from a spot around 3,600 meters (11,800 feet) altitude on Wednesday evening.
Authorities were in the process of formally identifying the victims. It wasn't immediately clear what caused the rock fall.
The Matterhorn, whose peak is 4,478 meters (14,692 feet) above sea level, is one of the highest and most famous peaks in the Alps. It straddles the border between Switzerland and Italy.

THULASENDRAPURAM, India (AP) - People in a tiny Indian village surrounded by rice paddies have flocked to a Hindu temple, burst crackers and uttered prayers hours before its descendant, Kamala Harris, takes her oath of office to become the U.S. vice president.
Groups of women in bright saris and men wearing white dhotis thronged the temple with sweets and flowers for special prayers for Harris' success. Her maternal grandfather was born in Thulasendrapuram, near the southern coastal city of Chennai. In several speeches, Harris has often spoken about her roots and how she was guided by the values of her Indian-born grandfather and mother. Posters and banners of Harris from the November election still adorn walls in the village and many hope she ascends to the presidency in 2024.

Trench Warfare in the Age of The Laser-Guided Missile
The historical development of spam fighting is allowing computer-aware criminals to take the upper hand in the fight against what has now evolved into a completely technologically and organizationally merged threat to public safety. If we do not change our strategic approach immediately, the battle, indeed even the war may be all but lost... Of late, much has been said in the popular and computer press about a vector that is annoying, but hardly critical in nature: 'Image spam'. Spammers have jumped on the new technology of 'image-only' payloads, which morph one pixel per message, rendering them unique, and traditional check-sum blocking strategies ineffective... Fortunately this fraudulent stock-touting scheme leaves a paper trail that has allowed for some successful prosecutions in the latter half of the year.

Port 25 Blocking, or Fix SMTP and Leave Port 25 Alone for the Sake of Spam?

We propose a new solution concept for TU cooperative games in characteristic function form, the SCOOP, that builds on the Nash Bargaining Solution (NBS ), adding to it a consistency requirement for negotiations inside every coalition. The SCOOP specifies the probability of success and payoffs of each coalition. Players share the surplus of a coalition according to the NBS, with disagreement payoffs that are computed as the expectation of payoffs in other coalitions, using some common probability distribution, which in turn is derived from the prior distribution. The predicted outcome can be probabilistic or deterministic, but only the efficient coalition can succeed with probability one. We discuss necessary and sufficient conditions for an efficient solution. In either case, the SCOOP always exists, is generically unique, easy to compute, and exhibits smooth comparative statics. We also discuss non-cooperative implementation of the SCOOP.

Pilgrim's, Angelina College Reveal Free Tuition Program
Danny Merrell Published: July 26, 2021
(Gary Stallard/AC News Service photo)
How about some good news for a change?
A couple of local businesses have teamed up with Angelina College to give employees and their families an excellent opportunity. According to a media release from Angelina College, Pilgrim's Lufkin and Pilgrim's Nacogdoches recently announced a partnership with Angelina College to provide free tuition to qualifying team members and their dependents. The first class of students will be eligible for the upcoming 2021/2022 school year.
The nationwide program, Pilgrim's Better Futures, removes a major financial barrier to college attendance and stands to become the largest free community college tuition program in rural America. Pilgrim's and Angelina College representatives will also help team members – many from first-generation American families – navigate the application process, which can be a deterrence to people applying to college for the first time.
"Pilgrim's Lufkin is grateful for our partnership with Angelina College to provide quality education opportunities for our team members and their children," said Nathan McDowell, Pilgrim's Lufkin plant manager. "Removing barriers to obtaining a college degree or technical certificate will provide significant opportunities that benefit the Lufkin community."
"We deeply appreciate having a partner who believes in good corporate citizenship by investing in its employees and by investing in the communities that it serves," said Dr. Michael Simon, president, Angelina College. "We look forward to a long and mutually beneficial relationship to benefit the Pilgrim's employees."
As a large employer in many rural communities, Pilgrim's believes providing access to community college and technical training programs can help play a role in sustainably building rural economies and making a lasting and meaningful difference in people's lives.
"There are brighter and better futures ahead for the Nacogdoches community," said Jose Cabrera, Pilgrim's Nacogdoches plant manager. "Pilgrim's Nacogdoches is excited for our partnership with Angelina College to offer convenient tuition-free education and training for both our team members and their dependents."
"With the wide variety of programs and certificates that Angelina College offers, the employees will have a multitude of course options available to them," said Krista Brown, executive director of marketing and strategic enrollment, Angelina College. "We will provide online, in-person, and hybrid classes to the employees and dependents. In addition, we remove any barriers by having our admissions, financial aid, and registration teams complete those processes at the respective plant. We are thrilled to have the opportunity to serve the Pilgrim's employees and their dependents."
The Better Futures program, announced in March, is part of the company's Hometown Strong initiative announced last year. Strengthening the communities where Pilgrim's team members live and work is an ongoing priority.
Funding for Better Futures is in addition to the initial $20 million investment from Pilgrim's for Hometown Strong. This investment will allow Pilgrim's to continue advancing the commitment to its team members and people in communities across the country. To learn more, visit betterfutures.jbssa.com.
Together, the Pilgrim's Lufkin and Nacogdoches facilities employee nearly 3,000 people with a combined annual payroll of around $120 million.

Cultural Marxism: An offshoot of Marxism that gave birth to political correctness, multiculturalism and "anti-racism." Unlike traditional Marxism that focuses on economics, Cultural Marxism focuses on culture and maintains that all human behavior is a result of culture (not heredity / race) and thus malleable. Cultural Marxists absurdly deny the biological reality of gender and race and argue that gender and race are "social constructs". Nonetheless, Cultural Marxists support the race-based identity politics of non-whites. Cultural Marxists typically support race-based affirmative action, the proposition state (as opposed to a nation rooted in common ancestry), elevating non-Western religions above Western religions, speech codes and censorship, multiculturalism, diversity training, anti-Western education curricula, maladaptive sexual norms and anti-male feminism, the dispossession of white people, and mass Third World immigration into Western countries. Cultural Marxists have promoted idea that white people, instead of birthing white babies, should interracially marry or adopt non-white children. Samuel P. Huntington maintained that Cultural Marxism is an anti-white ideology. Critics of Cultural Marxism have maintained that Cultural Marxists intend to commit genocide against white people through mass non-white immigration, assimilation, transracial adoption and miscegenation.-Destroy Cultural Marxism

American culture was never as conservative as 50s nostalgia makes it seem.
The Frankfurt School never promoted political correctness, multiculturalism, feminism, or anything of the sort. About 90% of what their theorists wrote were about the failure of capitalism and liberal democracy to liberate mankind and the ways capitalism poisoned culture. Adorno's views were far closer to the right wing than to tumblr's.
Marxists do not take anyone from the Frankfurt School seriously, especially not Benjamin who was a mystic, or Marcuse who basically thought of communism as a giant orgy.
Most of what /pol/ attributes to the Frankfurt School is more the fault of American postmodernist academics like Judith Butler. SJWs aren't even Marxists for christsake.
Mass immigration, multiculturalism, and political correctness have everything to do with neoliberalism.

Weyrich first aired his conception of Cultural Marxism in a 1998 speech to the Civitas Institute's Conservative Leadership Conference, later noting the "strong, positive response" in his "Open Letter to Conservatives".[54][55] At Weyrich's request Lind wrote a short history of this concept for The Free Congress Foundation.[51][56][57] Lind and Weyrich further expanded on their conception of Cultural Marxism; co-writing an article for The American Ideas Institute and over the next 2 years expanding that article into a book titled "The Next Conservatism"[58][59] with Lind having already written a fictional account of a post-apocalyptic Cultural Marxist future.[51][60] In these works they advocate fighting Cultural Marxism with "a vibrant cultural conservatism" composed of "retroculture" fashions from the past, a return to rail systems as public transport and an agrarian culture of self reliance modeled after the Amish.[58][61][51][62][63][64][65] Weyrich and his protege Eric Heubeck later openly advocated for a more direct form of "taking over political structures" by the "New Traditionalist Movement" in his 2001 paper The Integration of Theory and Practice written for Weyrich's Free Congress Foundation.[66][67][68]

Brisbane aboriginal artist Richard Bell's work develops out of protest politics, responding to a history of oppression and discrimination. While he challenges non-aboriginal artists who appropriate aboriginal imagery, he is an appropriation artist himself, borrowing from artists like Imants Tillers and Emily Kngwarreye to score his points. His recent works draw extensively on the comics-appropriating pop art of Roy Lichtenstein, who made dot canvasses before Papunya. Bell's work is a series of timely provocations: he critiques the appropriators of aboriginal art, he challenges the perceived divide between traditional and modern aboriginal art, and he inverts black/white stereotypes. He is famous for Bell's Theorem: 'Aboriginal Art—it's a white thing'. After winning the 2003 National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Award, he generated a national controversy by collecting his award in a T-shirt with the slogan 'White Girls Can't Hump'. Positivity surveys Bell's agit-pop work from the early 1990s to now.

HomeFood & DrinkRedline Gay Bar in DTLA Launches GoFundMe Campaign to Stay Alive
Redline Gay Bar in DTLA Launches GoFundMe Campaign to Stay Alive
Facebook screen grab
The Redline gay bar and restaurant located at 131 East 6th Street in Downtown Los Angeles, becomes the latest LGBTQ space to turn to the kindness of strangers as a means to survive. A GoFundMe campaign was launched on January 6, 2021, in hopes of raising funds to keep the bar from closing permanently.
"Redline is dying and needs your help," reads the fundraiser created by Dominic Alpuche, brother of Oliver Alpuche, who is the owner of the Redline gay bar and one of the founders of DTLA Proud, the popular 501c3 non-profit queer festival that takes place at Pershing Square in the summertime.
Like Akbar in Silverlake, the GoFundMe is looking to fans and friends of the queer space to help raise $100,000 to pay business loans on back-rent (Akbar met its goal of $150,000 within days and has since raised their goal to $250,000, with over $200,000 currently in the basket).
Donations are slowly trickling in with a little over $3,000 as of the posting of this piece.
The ask for $100,000 reads as follows:
The DTLA LGBTQIA+ community is small but mighty and our nightlife has always been much more than a place to drink. They are spaces where we can come together as community, as a family. Often , we as a community do not have the comforts of being ourselves and our bar scene has become a home where we can just BE!
Oliver Alpuche, my dearest twin brother, created a space for the community where everyone was welcomed. Over 7 years ago, he set out to open REDLINE, a bar that would not only be a safe space for the Eastside's queer community, but would also be more accessible and inclusive. From our own experiences as kids, we would take an hour and a half bus ride from Highland Park (long before it was the highly sought after, popular place it is today) to West Hollywood to be part of our community.
REDLINE opened on July 14th 2015 alongside PRECINCT and Bar Mattachine that same year, joining the long standing New Jalisco Bar creating a larger queer safe haven in DTLA. After he opened REDLINE, Oliver founded DTLA Proud, a 501c3 non-profit, focused on elevating everyone's stories, spreading optimism, growing our community and expanding the definition of diversity. This has helped develop and nurture the unique and vibrant culture of the city we love.
We already lost Bar Mattachine in 2018 and now we are in jeopardy of losing Redline. Please help us save REDLINE. It is not just to save a bar, but a venue that has been home to many of us, from aspiring drag performers to seasoned professional Drag Artists, up and coming LGBTQ+ comedians and actors to an incubator for community forums and action groups.
Hoping that Redline can reopen soon, Oliver has taken out large business loans to cover expenses while the bar has been forced to stay closed since last March. The moratorium on rent is ending this month. Since there has been NO government relief for business leases, he will have to pay all of the back rent and Redline is still unable to open its doors due to the current health mandates. It is not clear when the mandatory shut down we be lifted, and Redline is on its last breath.
If you know my brother, he is always willing to do whatever he can for his community. He poured his life and soul into creating Redline & DTLA Proud.
As 1st generation immigrant children, we did not come from much, but my brother is a model of what success looks like–passion and love overcoming the odds–and now we will lose a piece of our community if we don't act soon.
He has been a champion for both the LGBTQIA+ community, as well as building culture and representation in DTLA for over a decade and it's our time to be his.
We understand times are difficult for all, but any contribution would mean the world. Please share with your friends.

Биография

Младший сын Никола-Луи де Ломени, графа де Бриенна, и Анн-Габриели де Шамийяр, брат кардинала Бриенна.

Шевалье, затем граф де Бриенн. Корнет роты своего старшего брата Франсуа в Кирасирском полку (8.01.1743). Получил роту в драгунском полку Лопиталя (12.03.1744), командовал ею при отвоевании Висамбура и Лаутерских линий, в деле под Аугенумом, затем в том же году в Бретани, где оставался следующие два года и в 1746 году участвовал в обороне Лорьяна.

В 1747 году был со своим полком в Италии, 9 августа получил командование пехотным полком Артуа, ставшее вакантным после смерти его старшего брата, убитого при Экзиле. Командовал полком при оказании помощи Вентимилье, двух боях, произошедших под стенами этого города в октябре, а затем в составе Итальянской армии до заключения мира.

Второй батальон полка Артуа был в 1755 году отправлен в Новую Францию, а Бриенн остался командовать первым батальоном, с 1757 года участвовавшим в обороне побережья. Бригадир (10.02.1759), в 1759—1762 годах служил в Пикардии, Фландрии и Булонне. В марте 1762 направлен в Испанскую армию, был при осаде Алмейды. В декабре был произведен в кампмаршалы (патент от 25.07.1762), после чего отказался от командования полком.

Генерал-лейтенант (1780). В сентябре 1787, благодаря своему брату-архиепископу был назначен государственным секретарем по военным делам, но 30 ноября следующего года был отправлен в отставку после падения Этьена-Шарля де Ломени.

1 января 1789 был пожалован в рыцари орденов короля.

Был мэром Бриена. Перестроил Бриенский замок и купил в Париже роскошный особняк на улице Сен-Доминик, получивший название Бриенского отеля, и в котором в настоящее время находится резиденция министра обороны Франции.

Гильотинирован террористами вместе с принцессой Элизабет. Согласно постановлению: «Ломени, Луи Мари Атаназ, бывший нобиль, бывший военный министр и мэр Бриенна, 64 лет, родившийся в Париже, проживающий в Бриенне, в департаменте Об, приговорен к смерти как заговорщик 21 флореаля II года Парижским революционным трибуналом».

'Super-Wednesday' by-elections: all the data and who is contesting what
Tshegofatso Mathe M&G Data Desk
These elections are the first to be held since March because of the Covid-19 pandemic and the resulting lockdown.
Although dubbed as "super-Wednesday", today's by-elections have had a poor start.
Voter turnout has been low in areas such as Evaton in the Vaal district and the surrounding areas.
The elections are taking place in 95 wards across 55 municipalities in all of South Africa's provinces. Voting is taking place in 455 centres, including schools, churches, community halls and creches.
Overall, there are more than 610 000 registered voters. But if previous elections and by-election turnout are anything to go by, the actual number of voters could be much lower than 40 %.
By-elections take place in a ward within a municipality. They happen in between general municipal local elections, which take place every five years.
According to the Electoral Commission of South Africa (IEC) website, by-elections should take place within 90 days after a municipal ward council seat becomes vacant due to death, expulsion or resignation of a ward councillor. But because of Covid-19, by-elections could not be held within the stipulated 90 days.
These elections are the first to be held since March because of the Covid-19 pandemic and the resulting lockdown. Chief electoral officer Sy Mamabolo says that the by-elections being held today are a "catch-up" of all by-elections postponed between March and September. Elections could not take place because of the hard lockdown implemented to protect people's lives.
The leading cause for the by-elections is death. There are 47 wards in which a councillor has died; five councillors have been expelled by an MEC; and councillors resigned in 23 wards.
A glimpse at each province shows that the Northern Cape, Eastern Cape, Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal and the Western Cape each have more than 10 wards taking part in the election; the Free State and Limpopo have only four each.
The ANC, which has been rocked by secretary general Ace Magashule's warrant of arrest this week, has the highest number of wards it wants to retain. The Democratic Alliance has 29 wards it currently holds — until midday on Thursday, when the IEC is expected to release the results.
The Inkatha Freedom Party has four wards; the National Freedom Party and United Front of Civics have one each.
