RIDI Sheds Light on Sales with Infor BI
United Kingdom – June 04, 2013, 08:09 AM
Infor, a leading provider of business application software serving more than 70,000 customers, today announced that RIDI, a manufacturer of technical lighting, will implement Infor BI, complementing its existing investment in Infor M3. With Infor BI, RIDI will gain deeper insight from the sales of the approximately 9,000 products sold under its three brands RIDI, RIDIhomelight and Spectral.
The decision to introduce a new BI solution was mainly triggered by the end of the light bulb. In recent years, RIDI switched its production at its three production sites in Germany from conventional lights to LED. However, the products have such a short life cycle that RIDI needs to constantly check which products are still selling and what generation is already outdated and therefore should not be part of stock any longer.
Although RIDI used Infor M3 functionality and an open source solution for analysis, the growing variety of products, new customer groups and new market segments required a powerful, dedicated BI solution to process the complex correlations for sales management and make them transparent. A flexible licensing model allows RIDI to use the consolidation, planning and budgeting functions of Infor BI in future when needed.
"We benefit from the fact that both our ERP and our BI solution come from one source. When importing data, the solution helped to detect errors, thereby improving the quality of data," says Volkhard Loebich, IT Director at RIDI Leuchten GmbH. "When selecting the solution, it was important to us that we would be able to provide data for ad-hoc management queries with a small IT team in a short timeframe and to send reports to selected recipients via PDF. A major advantage of the approach was that the system would not only support reporting, but also the planning."
"We used to have to process many individual queries. With Infor BI every user can now pull individual information for himself," explains Volkhard Loebich. "In future, we will become much faster in our analysis and decision-making processes, because IT will be able to provide the necessary data from a centralized source instead of processing data anew each and every time a request comes in."
"We expanded our portfolio over the recent years so that our customers can get horizontal and industry-specific business applications from a single source," says Gerhard Knoch, Vice President and General Manager DACH at Infor. "Infor's comprehensive product range for the existing customer base represents an important pillar in our growth strategy and provides our customers with added value for their existing projects."
About Ridi Lighting
RIDI is one of the major European manufacturers of technical lamps with branches and agencies. The product range extends to the integration of the brand Spectral and now RIDIhomelight of technical and functional lighting light strips on design-oriented lighting objects, back to home lighting. RIDI is thus able to meet almost all needs for lighting. More information can be found at http://www.ridi.de/
Infor is fundamentally changing the way information is published and consumed in the enterprise, helping 70,000 customers in 194 countries improve operations, drive growth, and quickly adapt to changes in business demands. Infor offers deep industry-specific applications and suites, engineered for speed, and with an innovative user experience design that is simple, transparent, and elegant.

In late December 2010 the iconic Wall Street Bull was covered, without permission, from horns to tail in a raging camouflage crochet. Behind the wild design was an artist named Olek; she explained her creation as a gift to NYC representing a wish for a prosperous year in 2011. The design was removed shortly after installation, but not before several photographs of the statue were taken and eventually circulated around the world.
This begs the question: Does crochet have a place in today's interior design world? My answer: Absolutely! The examples below prove that all design trends work on a cycle appearing with a new spin each time. Incredibly intriguing and inspiring.

Inflammatory Dermatoses of the Superficial Cutaneous Reactive Unit—Study of Morphological Features with Clinical Correlation
Preethi Dinesh, Jyothi A Raj, Yadalla Harikishan Kumar
Keywords : Inflammatory dermatoses, Morphology, Papules, Plaques, Vesiculobullous
Citation Information : Dinesh P, Raj JA, Kumar YH. Inflammatory Dermatoses of the Superficial Cutaneous Reactive Unit—Study of Morphological Features with Clinical Correlation. J Med Sci 2019; 5 (1):1-6.
DOI: 10.5005/jp-journals-10045-00101
Background and objectives: Inflammatory dermatoses of the superficial cutaneous reactive unit are a common and complex variety of clinical conditions. This study was undertaken to perform a detailed morphological evaluation of lesions classified in this category, and to correlate the clinical details to arrive at the most appropriate diagnosis. Methodology: Skin biopsies of clinically diagnosed/suspected cases of inflammatory dermatoses were processed and stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E), followed by microscopic examination. Results: A total of 160 skin biopsies of superficial inflammatory dermatoses were studied. Lesions were categorized into papular/non-vesiculobullous (non-VB) (142 cases/88.75%) and VB (18 cases/11.25%) lesions. Papular lesions were frequent in males, with a peak incidence in the fourth decade. Patients presented mostly with pigmented plaques and papules over the extremities. Papular lesions were categorized based on epidermal changes: 8 cases without epidermal changes and 134 with epidermal changes. Lesions with epidermal changes were further categorized into interface dermatitis (60 cases), psoriasiform dermatitis (58 cases), and spongiotic dermatitis (16 cases). Commonly reported lesions were lichen planus (LP) with its variants followed by psoriasis vulgaris. VB lesions were common in the third and fourth decades, predominantly in females. These patients presented mostly with generalized vesicles. Common lesions reported were erythema multiforme (seven cases) and pemphigus vulgaris (six cases). Of the 160 cases, clinicopathological concordance was seen in 156 cases (97.5%) and discordance in 4 cases (2.5%). Interpretation and conclusion: The incidence of superficial inflammatory dermatoses in our study was comparable with those reported in other studies. Despite advances in molecular techniques, morphology remains the gold standard for the diagnosis and prognosis of many inflammatory dermatoses. This study emphasizes the importance and utility of a systematic approach to superficial inflammatory dermatoses which is relevant from the treatment perspective.

I knew exactly what she had unearthed: the Peter Pan costume I wore to the Halloween dance my sophomore year of high school. This handcrafted garment featured a rough-hewn, kelly-green skirt trimmed with dangling pompons. The matching top crawled with plastic vines that looped my neck and adjoined an ivy crown (a feminine touch for the otherwise masculine ensemble). I loved that costume. I loved the memory of wearing it to the dance amidst great fanfare.
And right then, a wave of relief washed over me. It felt weirdly good to say, I'm done with that.
This happens to dovetail with the sermon I heard on Sunday. In it, pastor Bill Hybels examines "seasons" in life, and how we're responsible for experiencing them fully and then moving on. So, I'm dedicating this week to doing exactly that. For the next four days, I'm going to open my closet, identify something I'm hopelessly attached to, and pitch it, donate it, move on from it.
I invite you to participate alongside me. If you do, please share!
I'll join in on this! It seems like the perfect time to purge, I just need to get around to it.
Awesome! Let me know how it goes!!
Oh Jill – there are so many memories I've relived these past few weeks of purging stuff. You and Ann had a very sweet childhood didn't you my dear? So nice.

Michael J Fox And Princess Diana Sat Together At The Back To The Future Premiere And It Was 'Just Agony'
Matt Bagwell
·Head of Entertainment, HuffPost UK
19 November 2020, 1:17 pm ·2-min read
Sitting next to Princess Diana at the cinema would be the stuff of dreams for most people, but not so for Michael J Fox.
The Canadian-American actor found himself in just that situation back in 1985, when Diana plonked herself down next to him at the world premiere of his movie, Back To The Future.
But instead of pinching himself, all the then-24-year-old Michael could do was cross his legs.
The actor explained his unfortunate predicament during an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Wednesday night.

"She was sitting next to me. The lights go down and the movie starts and I realise I am one fake yawn and an arm stretch away from being on a date with her, which is hilarious," Michael recalled.
"The movie started and also I had to go pee. So for the rest of the movie, I'm sitting there like dying. I can't say anything to her and I can't walk away from her because I can't turn my back on her."
The star added: "So it was just agony. What could have been the greatest night of my life was a nightmare. A pee-holding nightmare."

Michael – who was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease aged 29 – revealed that he hadn't known he was going to be sat next to Princess Diana until the movie started.
He went on to say that "she was great, very sweet".
When asked if the princess had enjoyed the film, he replied: "She seemed to laugh a couple of times. She wasn't ebullient."
Update: This article has been amended to reflect that Michael J Fox is Canadian-American.

Posted by GEVGA Editor 11 January 2021 in Esports
Racing game developer, publisher, and esports ecosystem provider Motorsport Games is in the process of going public on the Nasdaq Capital Market to raise funds in the ballpark of $40M USD. According to a preliminary initial public offering (IPO) prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Motorsport Games will offer 2.35M Class A common stock shares at an anticipated price range between $16 to $18, which would generate gross proceeds of $37.6M to $42.3M.
Following the IPO, Motorsport Games will have a total of 16.35M shares outstanding (16,702,500 outstanding shares if all underwriter options are consumed), which would add up to a market capitalization of $262M to $294M ($267M to $301M) at the anticipated IPO price range. The underwriters of the IPO are Canaccord Genuity and The Benchmark Company.
Motorsport Games, which has offices in Miami, Orlando, Silverstone (United Kingdom), and Moscow, was formed in 2018 by international motorsport-focused media and technology company Motorsport Network as a wholly-owned subsidiary. In connection with the formation, Motorsport Games acquired a controlling stake in 704Games, the developer and publisher of the NASCAR Heat game franchise.
Simultaneously with the acquisition of 704Games in 2018, Motorsport Games extended its license agreement with NASCAR for ten years until the end of 2029. The company also owns exclusive rights to create and organize esports leagues and events for NASCAR using its NASCAR properties.
Also in 2018, Motorsport Games acquired the leadership team of Virtually Entertained Limited, a UK-based esports specialist, and entered into an agreement to facilitate the Le Mans esports Series as part of a joint venture with Automobile Club de l'Ouest (ACO), the organizer of the 24 Hours of Le Mans endurance race.
In 2019, the company entered into an exclusive partnership with racing game developer and publisher Codemasters granting Motorsport Network worldwide rights (excluding China) to organize and manage official DiRT Rally 2.0 World Championship and official GRiD eSport World Championship esports events.
In May of last year, Motorsport Games secured a multi-year licensing agreement ending on Dec. 31, 2026, to exclusively develop and publish the video games for the British Touring Car Championship (BTCC) racing series across console, mobile, and casual gaming channels. As part of this license, Motorsport Games has the right to create and organize esports leagues and events for the BTCC racing series.
The company, which is currently operating as a Florida LLC under the name Motorsport Gaming US LLC but will convert into a Delaware corporation and change its name to Motorsport Games Inc. before going public, will remain a Motorsport Network subsidiary. Motorsport Network is currently Motorsport Games' only stockholder and will hold 14M common shares, representing an 85.6% stake in the company and 97% of the total voting power in Motorsport Games. Those numbers are subject to small changes since the company granted its underwriters to purchase an additional 352.5K common shares within 45 days of the IPO's completion.
Motorsport Games intends to use the IPO net proceeds for "working capital and general corporate purposes, including product development, such as for mobile products and additional racing series, the buildout of APEX, our go-to destination for the virtual racing community, the development of our proprietary racing-focused gaming engine, which we refer to as the 'MSG Engine,' sales and marketing activities, capital expenditures, the possible repayment of certain outstanding debt and strategic acquisitions and investments."
During the first nine months of 2020, Motorsport Games generated $16.1M in net revenues, up 68.2% compared to $9.57M in the same period of 2019. At the company's anticipated IPO price range and scaling its revenues from the first three-quarters of 2020 linear to estimated full-year revenues of $21.5M, Motorsport Games' price-to-sales ratio would be between 12.2 to 14. In total, Motorsport Games ended the first three quarters of 2020 with an $875K net profit compared to a $2.95M net loss in the same period of 2019.

About Shamcher
Shamcher Bryn Beorse: OTEC Pioneer, Economist, Sufi.
Born Brynjolf Bjorset, April 26, 1896 in Christiania (Now OSLO), Norway. Died April 29, 1980 in Berkeley, California. With his wife, Evelyn Jones, the family included a son, Bryn Jr., and daughter, Daphne.
Originally named Bryjolf Bjorset, and known to the Sufis as Shamcher, Bryn Beorse was a generalist, engineer and economist who was also a western mystic. Beorse was born in 1896 in Christiania, Norway. His family included his mother, Helga, his father Eivin Bjorset (Norway's chief hydrographer), and his two sisters.
Energy and Economics
From age 16 he had seriously studied psychology, sociology, world religions, yoga, and Sufism. Educated in Norges Telniske Hoiskole (Norway's MIT), in 1919 he graduated with honors as a "diplomingenieur' from Norges Teckniske Hoiskole (Norway MIT) with 0.1 (Outstanding) in economics. Then began a period of world travel in which he visited and lived in 67 countries, working in several of these and learning 12 languages…
Work and World Travel
He was a jackaroo, the lowliest hand on a sheep station in Australia, and an engineer in Dayakland, where he had an out of body experience when nearly attacked by a Dayak chief in what is now Borneo. While building ports and railroads in Turkey, he advised Saraguglu Shukri Bey, Secretary of the Treasury for the 'Young Turks' on the financial structuring of the new republic, when Kemal Attaturk took over Turkey, and also savoring of the teachings and music of the Mevlevis, a sufi branch in Turkey.
In India and Indonesia he built irrigation works while continuing his Yoga studies. In Norway, while building factories and residences, he wrote "After Us the Glut' at the request of Dr. Nygaard, President of Aschehoug publishers. This survey of world resources and how better to utilize them netted him a managing directorship of a new banking venture in which the Government cooperated. This system was"Nordic Clearing" and is outlined in the book Distribute or Destroy.
In the USA, from 1940, he worked as a director of a small company making dynamic balancing machines, while talking to bankers and economists about the Norwegian banking venture. This was brutally stopped by the Nazi invasion. A spy in WWII, Shamcher volunteered for many dangerous missions, saying that at 44 he had lived his life, and the younger men should be given a chance to do the same.
He served in both World Wars, with the Coastal Defense forces in Norway in WWI and with the British Air Forces in WWII, attaining the rank of captain and serving with MI6, the Air Force Intelligence Agency. In 1943 he had planned, along with several German generals and the British MI5 and MI6 (the equivalent of the American CIA) to kidnap Hitler and "place him in a nice British apple orchard where he could spend the rest of his life munching apples and complaining to newshawks." Based on detailed information received at M.I.5, he drew, with M.I.6, this infallible plan to kidnap Hitler, and end World War II in the fall of 1944. All British, including the cabinet were reported supporting it enthused. F.D. Roosevelt turned it down (he was told): "The Germans must be beaten so they know it." Millions more died.
Later he commuted from the front to serve on a Norwegian monetary commission to plan recovery. His 'minority plan' was accepted, later, by the Norwegian congress. He was an official advisor — member of a government commission – to straighten out Norway's economy after the wreckage of World War II.
After WWII he went to France to work on engineering studies, during which he was introduced to Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion while working for the French company Energie des Mers on the design and construction of the Abidjan (Africa) OTEC plant in 1947. After the war he wrote books on economics and worked on research for this promising OTEC system of benign solar power from the sea. He brought this system to the United States in 1948, marrying Evelyn Jones and settling in Berkeley, California. Here he did pioneering work in seawater conversion and ocean thermal power at the Seawater Conversion Laboratory of the University of California, where three laboratory OTEC models were built. He joined the University of California in 1950 as a research engineer, first in desalination, later in air pollution, and a close and precious liaison with students.
In 1954, he submitted to the chancellor at Berkeley, as a result of discussion with Dr. Eugene Burdick, a plan for comprehensive energy research, linked to student participation. Everybody saw the coming energy shortage even then. Beorse worked with several foreign governments on an OTEC desalting process which he claimed "could operate on only a 9 degrees C total thermal difference and with only a fourth of the energy input of any other distillation desalting project." Beorse had several talks on OTEC with Prime Minister Nehru in India in 1959, and continued his correspondence with Indian energy advisors as recently as later 1979. Similarly with the National Research Centre of Cairo on utilizing the hot brines of the Red Sea through OTEC technology.
During his eleven years at the University he had been farmed out to other tasks, one year with the X-15 experimental plane, particularly the nitrogen cooling system, two years with Boeing 707 jet and Bomarc Missile, one year as assistant to President Hans Hosli of the Hispano Suiza Rocket Factories in Geneva, Switzerland, working on strategic and technical matters.
He tried at one time to leave the world and to retreat into a meditation cave, only to find it already inhabited. Upon hearing a sound from within, Bryn reached into the darkness and grabbed a handful of bristly fur, resulting in another sound he said he'll never forget. "A Himalayan bear told me to get out of there and go back to work on OTEC," he said, "so here I am back in the world."
Just before completing his term at the University of California, he began working with Arthur Schlesinger and Seymour Harris of the Kennedy Administration on a multi-survey project that was hoped to lay the foundation for continuous full employment. Dr. Harris was Senior Advisor to the Secretary of the Treasury. The work gained momentum until a comprehensive meeting was planned "as soon as the President would return from this political trip to Texas." The assassination paralyzed the project. Later he joined Dr. John H.G. Pierson, retired economic advisor to the United Nations, in his thirty-year long fight for full employment, working to establish Guaranteed Full Employment in the United States and other willing countries.
Later, while working as a Value Engineer at the Keyport Torpedo Station of the U.S. Navy, he took advantage of a 15-year right-to-work rule in the Civil Service. He avoided mandatory retirement from the Navy until December 1976, when he became one of the oldest civil servants in the US at the age of 81. Returning as emeritus to the University of California at Berkeley, he again took up his major goal: the development of Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion. At 77 he said, "My age, 77, is a bare minimum for understanding our present complex civilization and environment."
Dr. Jacques Menetrier, the Paris universal genius (medic, physicist, author, artist) tried his new device on him in 1961. "Bryn," he said, "You are 35, just a baby." He replied that he was 65 at the time. "No, no," the doctor said, "I mean, your most overworked organs are 35 years old, the rest younger. You will live happily, actively, till you are 120 calendar-wise."
Bryn Beorse passed away on April 29th, 1980 at the age of 84, following a stroke. His last 30 years were persistently dedicated to OTEC, with his daily behind-the-scenes efforts consistently bearing fruit. As he was never a glory-seeker, his efforts over many decades toward seeing OTEC implemented are generally unknown and unheralded. Some of his efforts are outlined in Mansur Johnson's book, Shamcher: a Memoir of Bryn Beorse and his Struggle to Introduce Ocean Energy into the United States. Bryn Beorse was still working as a research associate at the Seawater conversion Laboratory of the University of California in Richmond at the time of his death. At his request his remains were donated to the University of California at San Francisco for scientific use.
As a pupil of the great sufi musician and teacher Hazrat Inayat Khan Shamcher Beorse attended Summerschools in Suresnes in the 1920s, and was first active in the Sufi centre in Christiania (now Oslo.) His work as an engineer and economist took him throughout the world, where he performed Universal Worship and encouraged Sufi activities in over 65 countries. Shamcher, with his dear friend Sam Lewis (Murshid SAM) ( the founder of the Dances of Universal Peace or Sufi Dancing) and his colleague Paul Reps (author and teacher), may have been only original pupils of Inayat Khan active in the Bay Area during the 1950s.
He was instrumental in encouraging Pir Vilayat Inayat Khan to take his role as head of the Sufi Order as well as encouraging the connection between Murshid SAM and Pir Vilayat that produced a flowering of universal Sufi activity in North America in the late 1960s and 1970s. He was also close to Pir Hidayat Inayat Khan, the musician and composer, who later became the leader of the Sufi Movement. Connections include American mystic Joe Miller, Shahabuddin David Less, and many others too numerous to mention.
An accomplished yogi and Sufi, Shamcher was instrumental in developing Sufi centres throughout the world, in the tradition of Inayat Khan. He had particular fondness for the Sufis in Canada, and he guided and inspired Sufi Centers in Edmonton, and throughout Western Canada.
He taught that Sufism was older than Islam, and was not held within any one particular religion. Shamcher always said he didn't believe in a hierarchical teacher/disciple relationship, yet he was devoted to Hazrat Inayat Khan his whole life, and had many loving students, often with widely divergent views and affiliations.
As an elder and Sufi, Beorse taught and guided many younger people of the day to find the inner guidance that would help them develop their life's purpose. He was insistent that the time for one-sided passive meditation was no more, and that the inner spirit of guidance, our intuition, was to be awakened and developed to serve humanity. Just as technology is the application of science, so is serving humanity the natural application of the meditative life. Beorse referred to the yogis who do not identify themselves with their bodies but see the whole environment, the whole planet, as themselves.
Life as a Dunite
In the late 1920's and 30s the coast of California was dotted with spiritual communities, temples and metaphysical groups, each dedicated to alternative lifestyles ready for the coming "Age of Aquarius", The New Age. The community in the Oceano Dunes required nothing at all from anyone who wished to join in the dunite way of life. The dunes were a place of total independence and self sufficiency. Some dunites were social, others were hermits, never seen for weeks or months, either meditating or hiding from the law. It was the perfect place to disappear from the world. This utopian community of radical individuals was a decentralized independent association of hermits and hermeticists, of yogis and boogeymen.
Beorse's book, Fairy Tales are True features one of the rare accounts of life in the Dunes of Oceano, where he lived on and off during the late 1930's. Much of his description of the Dunes is true, with only a few names changed and situations condensed. For example, "Dreamwood" really existed: he was the artist Elwood Decker. "Hugo" is the poet and early dunite,Hugo Seelig.
In the Dunes of Oceano mystics, free-thinkers, poets, painters and photographers mingled freely with drifters and others on the fringes of society, in a place so pure and beautiful it was photographed over and over again by Ansel Adams, Edward Weston and many others. Those iconic American images were not inspired simply by sand dunes alone, but by the remarkable community there. The loosely connected group called the "dunites" was expanded and stimulated by the astrologer Gavin Arthur (grandson of US President Chester Arthur). Here the Irish mystical folklorist and friend of the Faeries, Ella Young, named Gavin's cabin Moy Mell (after the poets' Pasture of Honey in the Gaelic afterlife). Bringing with him the legacy of Whitman and Carpenter, Gavin Arthur openly embraced life in loving compassion, nurturing an independent, inspiring and stimulating environment for all who wished to participate. Later, in San Francisco, Arthur helped nurture counterculture through the decades of both the beat and hippie movements, retaining connection with Murshid SAM and Shamcher.
During the Great Depression, economic theories were hotly debated in the dunes, forging a new way of thinking. Not confined to only socialism and communism, active discussion of new concepts ranged through Social Credit, barter, giro-credit, and other economic innovations. In the mid-1930's Shamcher's well-received economic book, Distribute or Destroy, had been published, and was quoted in the book by sometime dunites Luther Whiteman and Samuel L. Lewis, Glory Roads: The Psychological State of California.
Bryn Beorse was the author of many books, primarily on various aspects of energy and economics, philosophy and knowledge gleaned from his many years of travel, association with extraordinary individuals, and years of dedicated meditation. He was a proponent of the application of meditation to action, and of following inner intuition to solve the problems of life.

Q: Compare two tensors of numpy arrays by each array - tensorflow I have a multilabel classification problem and my y_true and y_pred during training looks like this:
y_true = tf.constant([[0, 1, 1, 0], [0, 1, 1, 0]])
y_pred = tf.constant([[0, 1, 0, 1], [0, 1, 1, 0]])

I want to compare those two based on each pair of lists.
To do so, I wrote something like
values = tf.cast(x, "float32") == tf.cast(y, "float32")
bool_to_number_values = tf.cast(tranformed_values, "float32")
print(bool_to_number_values)
tranformed_values_summed = x.numpy().shape[0] - tf.reduce_sum(bool_to_number_values)
tranformed_values_summed.numpy()

This returns
tf.Tensor(
[[1. 1. 0. 0.]
 [1. 1. 1. 1.]], shape=(2, 4), dtype=float32)

and -4.0 because 2.0 - 6.0 == -4.0
But I don't want this. I want to compare the first array of y_true to the first array of y_pred and if they are identical return True else False. The same logic applies for the second array of y_true and y_pred.
So the correct result should be
tf.Tensor(
[0,
 1], , shape=(2,), dtype=float32)

#0: because the arrays on index 0 are not equal y_true[0] <> y_pred[0]
#1: because the arrays on index 1 are equal y_true[1] == y_pred[1]

and the tranformed_values_summed.numpy() = 2.0 - 1.0 = 1.0

A: I think you might be looking for tf.reduce_all:
tf.cast(tf.reduce_all(tf.equal(y_true, y_pred), axis=-1), tf.int32)

<tf.Tensor: shape=(2,), dtype=int32, numpy=array([0, 1])>

Copy/pastable:
import tensorflow as tf

y_true = tf.constant([[0, 1, 1, 0], [0, 1, 1, 0]])
y_pred = tf.constant([[0, 1, 0, 1], [0, 1, 1, 0]])

tf.cast(tf.reduce_all(tf.equal(y_true, y_pred), axis=-1), tf.int32)

Thousands of migrating birds provide unique fall show
October 20, 2021 By Matt Kelley
Migrating birds. (ISU photo)
One of the sure signs of fall, Iowans are seeing huge congregations of birds filling the morning and evening skies, giant clouds of feathered creatures that often take several minutes to pass.
Steve Dinsmore, a central Iowa ornithologist, and bird watcher, says it's typical during this time of the year to spot birds migrating in tremendously large numbers over Iowa.
"Those could represent a number of different species of birds," Dinsmore says. "One of them is European starlings, so we call those a murmuration of starlings. We also, right now, have very, very large numbers of blackbirds, primarily redwing blackbirds and common grackles, and also other species that are also migrating. Those birds, just like starlings, form these large, wavy, meandering flocks."
Dinsmore is a professor of Natural Resource Ecology and Management at Iowa State University. He says birds of a feather do flock together for several reasons. "One of them certainly deals with predator avoidance, a sort of safety-in-numbers component," Dinsmore says. "These birds also feed en mass so one of the other advantages of them associating in flocks is the transfer of information about foraging sites or feeding sites. They do that through these large flocks as they've moving to and from roosting and feeding areas."
The miles-long undulating flocks are fascinating to watch and may contain tens of thousands of birds, perhaps more.
"One of the real fun questions to try and answer is, 'How many are there?' and certainly, those flocks are very, very large, to the point where you can't count individuals," Dinsmore says. "Sometimes, we use estimation techniques or approximation techniques. Pushing 100,000 is pretty unusual but there are records in the hundreds of thousands and some estimates even up to a million individuals."
Some Iowans who live in larger cities may even be surprised to spot wild turkeys in their back yards, though they're typically thought of as more of a "country" bird.

"Factors influencing mortality estimates in post-release survival studi" by Michael K. Musyl, Christopher D. Moyes et al.
Campana et al. (2009; Mar Ecol Prog Ser 387:241-253) explored the survival Of blue sharks Prionace glauca captured and released from the North Atlantic commercial longline fishery. We think that their comments and comparisons do not accurately reflect a previous survival study of blue sharks in Hawaii (Moyes et al. 2006; Trans Am Fish Soc 135:1389-1397). The differences in mortality between the studies, similar to 5% in the Hawaii-based fishery and similar to 35% in the North Atlantic fishery, were suggested to be due to failure of Moyes et al. (2006) to accurately reflect commercial fishing conditions. Careful examination of the data, however, suggests that the mortality depends on fishery-specific features-hook type, soak time and handling of the bycatch during release-rather than the respective tagging protocols. Survival studies based on pop-up satellite archival tags (PSATs) are cost-prohibitive; alternative (e.g. biochemical) approaches to estimate stress and morbidity are needed to supplant PSAT studies and to increase sample sizes. Standardization of fishing methods and sampling protocol is needed for future survival studies, to reduce experimental bias and improve the cost:benefit relationship.

JAMMU, Mar 24: The Jammu and Kashmir Ex-Services League (JKESL) Governing Council meeting was held at Zila Sainik Welfare Complex Ambphalla Jammu.
All the District Presidents Governing Council Members and some invited guests attended the meeting. During the meeting many problems facing by the Ex-Servicemen were discussed as they feel totally ignored in the State for the last 70 years e.g. the issue of Sainik Colony Srinagar was highlighted which was accepted by two Chief Ministers and even the area allotted near the airport Srinagar.
However it was denied by the third Chief Minister, Mehbooba and till date there is no progress. Even the then Governor NN Vohra in whose meetings all these decisions were taken did not come to their rescue. Similarly two housing colonies sanctioned at Jammu by the Chief Minister Dr Farooq Abdullah in1997 have not seen the light of the Day even after 20 years.
All the issues connected with the Ex-Servicemen face apathy. Whether it is reservations in the police or revival of the prestigious Sainik Vanaspati cooperative even with 97 percent equity by the State, are all unsettled just because it belongs to the Ex-servicemen and it is in Jammu.
The Ex-Servicemen are harassed for issue/renewal of weapon licenses, 6 percent entitled reservation in jobs are not given particularly in the police. Not a single soldier has found enrolment in the police during the last 35 years when the police force has increased from 35000 to nearly 1 Lahk. No State level facilities like job/ education reservation for wards are available to war widows, the War wounded and the brave warriors who are paid poor annuities far lower than the other states like Punjab, Haryana and HP. Although J&K receives maximum Central Govt. aid and is witness to maximum sacrifices of Security Forces personnel. Finding no hope in the elected leaders, the Ex-servicemen are now pinning their hopes on the Governor who has taken some hard decisions recently and implemented them with speed.
During the meeting the Veterans conveyed their appreciation to the Security Forces for their achievements including the Surgical Air Strikes at Balakot. Veterans also thanked Brig Manmohan Harjai and the Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine Board and Narayana Super Speciality Hospital for the empanelment for ECHS.

Canon EOS-1D X Mark III Flagship Full-Frame DSLR With 5.5K RAW Video Recording Launched in India:
Canon announced the EOS-1D X Mark III on the sidelines of CES 2020, and now, Canon has launched its flagship DSLR camera in India. The camera will set you back Rs. 5,75,995 for just the body, which is the same price Canon India had tweeted around the time of the announcement. However, we now know when it will be available, which is mid-February, in all major retail outlets across the country. The pricing includes a 512GB CFExpress memory card and the corresponding card reader.
Canon EOS-1D X Mark III specifications
Canon's flagship offering features a new 20.1-megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor with a new 'high-detail' low-pass filter. It also has a Digic X and Digic 8 image processors which are said to deliver up to 3.1x the image processing and 380x better Dual CMOS AF performance compared to its predecessor. This new combo has also allowed an improved ISO range of 100-1,02,400 (expandable to 50-8,19,200).
When using the optical viewfinder, you get 191 AF points, with 155 of them being cross-type. In live view, there's Canon's Dual Pixel CMOS AF system with 3,869 manually selectable AF points. The EOS-1D X Mark III can also do head, face and eye tracking using AI 'deep learning' algorithms. It can also shoot 16fps burst shots using the optical viewfinder, or 20fps burst photos with live view (either mechanical or electronic shutter). There's also a pretty big buffer, capable of holding 1,000 images, including RAW and JPEGs.
The camera also has equally impressive video capabilities. It boasts of being able to shoot 12-bit, 5.5K RAW video internally and oversampled 4K video at 60fps, in Canon Log with 10-bit 4:2:2 colour sampling. Other features include support for 10-bit stills in the HEIF image format; built-in Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPS; Gigabit Ethernet port; and a dust and weather-sealed body. The battery in the EOS-1D X Mark III is rated to capture 2,850 shots per charge. It weighs 1.4kg and and measures 158 x 168 x 83 mm in dimensions.
Commenting on the launch, Kazutada Kobayashi, President and CEO, Canon India said "As a new milestone in our imaging journey, we are delighted to begin 2020 with the launch of EOS-1D X Mark III, the latest marvel to our flagship EOS-1D series. The new product is poised to take the EOS legacy forward and further enable us in promoting the photography culture in India."
"We are confident that our latest offering will cater to the growing list of professional photographers in India and open up newer possibilities in the imaging space," he added.

It's Been a Quiet Week in the Motherland (The News from OVD Info)
Maxim Panfilov
Hello! One of the main events of the past week for us was not Putin's "Direct Line," but the arrest of a man who spoke with Putin a year ago. Anton Tyurishev, a construction worker at the Vostochny Cosmodrome in the Russian Far East, complained to the president that he and his mates were not being paid their wages. Putin promised to get to the bottom of it, but a year on nothing had changed. Tyurishev promised that in response protests would kick off. Later, he was summoned to the police station, where the "Law on Rallies" was read out to him. The day before the "Direct Line" broadcast, he was detained and sent to jail for five days, allegedly, for swearing in public.
The new defendant in the Bolotnaya Square Case, Maxim Panfilov, who suffers from Tourette's syndrome and yet was taken into police custody, is not getting the medicines he needs. Instead, he is being administered substitutes that do not alleviate his condition. Panfilov has been appointed an outpatient psychiatric examination. The investigator has agreed to let defense attorneys attend it.
Ildar Dadin, convicted of "multiple violations of the rules for holding public events," was convoyed from Moscow to Petersburg right on his birthday, which means he will serve his sentence in Leningrad Region.
Last week, it transpired that Magomednabi Magomedov, imam of the Eastern Mosque in Khasavyurt, had been arrested, accused of incitement to terrorism and inciting religious and ethnic hatred. Magomedov, who was transported from one place of confinement to another over several days, complained he had been tortured. Pretrial detention facility officers had beaten him and forced him to kneel, demanding that he confess to the charges.
Euromaidan participant Alexander Kostenko, convicted of harming a Berkut riot police officer, was transferred to solitary confinement shortly before a hearing where his request for parole was to be examined. Naturally, Kostenko's parole request was rejected.
Alexander Kostenko
It seems soon Alexei Navalny will have no allies who are not undergoing criminal prosecution. Ivan Zhdanov, head of the Anti-Corruption Foundation's legal service, and a candidate for the council of deputies in the Moscow suburb of Barvikha, has been charged with evading conscription.
In Ulyanovsk, police diligently searched for activists who had blocked a road in connection with construction of a residential complex. They visited one activist at work, and telephone another and asked him to report for questioning. When he demanded an official summons, they threatened him with criminal charges. Administrative charges have been filed against three people.
In Volgograd, the leader of the regional Union of Entrepreneurs and Freight Haulers has been slapped with three administrative charges for calling people to a protest rally before the rally was authorized. The court threw out two of the three charges, while the third resulted in a fine.
The confrontation continues in Moscow's Dubki Park. Defenders of the park, who oppose construction there, are fined for disobeying the police. A female journalist's arm was injured when an assembly of defenders was dispersed. When he was detained, one of the activists, Dmitry Boinov, was beaten so badly that he has been in hospital for a week recovering from fractures.
In Podolsk, three men attacked Maxim Chekanov, a past participant of protest rallies. The incident began when they called Chekanov by name, asked him questions about the "Kiev junta," called him a "Banderite scumbag," and then invited him to go round the corner. During the ensuing fight they smashed Chekhanov's face.
Popular Chechen singer Hussein Betelgeriev, who disappeared in late March, has returned home beaten. It is unknown where he was all this time. Relatives and friends suggest he was abducted, and connect the abduction with his comments on social networks and the fact he ignored the call to attend a pro-Kadyrov rally on March 23.
Olga Sutuga, mother of anti-fascist Alexei Sutuga, currently serving time at a penal colony in Irkutsk Region, talks about the international aid project Political Prisoners University.
Thanks for your attention!

Reblogged this on Truth Troubles: Why people hate the truths' of the real world and commented:
It is unfortunate that the people of the great country of Russia are being economically raped by President Putin and his closest friends.

Sympathy for the Devil 0
Pregnant mother Belinda Temple, 30, was found dead in her bedroom closet on January 11, 1999, shot in the back of the head with a shotgun. Her husband David, a Houston-area high school football coach and former local football star, was the focus of the investigation, but authorities did not have enough evidence to arrest him until several years later.
David Temple was convicted of his wife's murder in 2007 and sentenced to life in prison. In 2016, he was released on appeal and is likely to face another trial. He still maintains his innocence today--alleging that Belinda was killed by burglars during a botched robbery while he was out shopping with their then-3-year-old son.
This is a complicated case that we have examined from all angles. From David's entitled childhood, to dating abuse, affairs, life insurance, and questionable forensic evidence, we're letting you decide whether or not David Temple killed Belinda and their unborn daughter. Did a life of being told how special he was lead David Temple to think he was above the law? If that was the case, his family was probably behind him after Belinda's murder, reassuring him that he was loved and supported, just as they always had whenever he got in trouble at school or in relationships. But there are other possible suspects. We'll talk about those as well. Come with us to the quiet end.


Peter Carlsson worked as Tesla's head of supply chain up to 2015 and has since co-founded Nordic energy firm Northvolt AB. The firm has today (7 March) received a €3.5m investment from InnoEnergy – the innovation hub for the European energy market – to support the development of Europe's first large-scale battery factory.
"The development of a European large scale battery factory will be revolutionary, especially in terms of electrification of transport – which in itself could drastically reduce Europe's carbon footprint," InnoEnergy's chief executive Diego Pavia said. Full article available on EDIE is found HERE.

KOLKATA: Durga Puja, which is celebrated in many states in India and Bangladesh with its epicentre in Kolkata, is India's official nomination for Unesco's 2020 list of cultural institutions around the world. Sangeet Natak Akademi, an autonomous body under the Union ministry of culture, announced the development on its website on Monday.
The Unesco Representative List of Intangible Cultural Heritage aims at preserving, promoting and highlighting intangible cultural heritages of various countries. Durga Puja's entry into the list would reinforce Bengal's position on the global culture stage.
The presentation for the nomination, highlighting the history, socio-cultural context and inclusiveness was prepared by Tapati Guha Thakurta, a history professor with the Centre for Study in Social Sciences, Calcutta. Guha Thakurta and her team prepared the elaborate dossier for the ministry of culture. The state government gave a letter of endorsement.
"Durga Puja is the best instance of the public performance of religion and art. It witnesses a celebration of craftsmanship, cross-cultural transactions and cross-community revelry... Its dynamism lies in it being a constantly mutating event — in its fusion of tradition with changing tastes and popular cultures, and in the adaptation of the iconographies of Durga and the styles of her temporary abodes to cater to new regimes," reads a note on the Akademi website.
"The festival secures its secular identity, embedding it in the contemporary global cultures of touring, spectacle, and entertainment," said Guha Thakurta.
Some of the other Unesco Heritage Sites in India are the Taj Mahal, churches and convents of Goa, Sunderbans mangroves, Humayun's Tomb in Delhi and Darjeeling Himalayan Railway.

We are excited to announce that Gordon Tilden Thomas & Cordell has moved to a new location in downtown Seattle. Our old office served us well for 14 years, but we are thrilled about our fresh new space. Our new office is located in One Union Square, putting us in the same building as many of our colleagues and the Court of Appeals, Division 1.
We are still settling in and adding artwork to the walls, but we are excited to be in the new space. If you are in the area, feel free to stop in and say hello.
The new address is One Union Square, 600 University Street, Suite 2915, Seattle, WA 98101.


A stunning tulle and lace bridal cape that will add great detail to a bride's wedding day attire. The cape is circular in shape and drops over the bride's head to rest on her shoulders. The front of the cape is shorter and the back is longer with a subtle dipped back neckline. The beautiful embroidered lace is hand sewn all around the bottom edge. This long cape is a lovely substitute for a veil, just a more modern take on the concept. Available in the various colors listed below.


Haylie went through a lot of plastic surgeries. Haylie Duff plastic surgeries include rhinoplasty, chin implants and alleged breast augmentation. Following are the details about Haylie Duff plastic surgery.
It is very noticeable that Haylie got a nose job done, when you compare her old and new pictures. Before getting a rhinoplasty, Haylie's nose was very big as compared to her other facial features, but after she got a nose job, her nose got straighter and smaller than before. However, never agreed of having a rhinoplasty, still the comparison leads us to the result that she did have this plastic surgery. Even though she doesn't agree to having a nose job, her friends are still loving her new nose.
When we look at Haylie's recent photos and compare them with her old ones, we get to know that she went through Genioplasty, which is also referred to as chin implants. When Haylie was younger, she had a large jawline and it is impossible to get the jawline she has now in such a short time with any kind of exercise or diet. After having this surgery, Haylie has a longer and sharper jawline, which makes her face look balanced out and makes her look even more stunning.
It's been said many times that if you gain weight, your breasts get bigger too. As we can see in many pictures of Haylie that she didn't any weight but still her chest area looks much bigger than before, it is quite obvious that she got a breast augmentation plastic surgery. As usual, Haylie did not agree to having this plastic surgery done, but we still have a clue that she wears a bra whose size has increased than before.
As long as Haylie looks beautiful, which she does, there is nothing wrong with having these plastic surgeries. Even though she never agreed to having them, the change in her nose, chin and breast size is obvious. Haylie is a stunning woman, who has always looked gorgeous with or without any plastic surgery!
Haylie Duff was born on February 19, 1985 in Houston, Texas .She is an American actress, singer, songwriter, television host and fashion designer. Her mother Susan is a film producer and her father Robert runs a family business. Haylie's sister, Hilary is also an actress. She stated that although she is a Christian, but she is more of a spiritual person than religious person. Haylie announced her engagement with Matt Rosenberg in April, 2014 and is the mother of Ryan Ava Erhard.
Hilary is also known for hosting the reality show 'Legally Blonde: The Musical – The Search for Elle Woods'. She got roles in stage shows such as, 'Hairspray' and 'Love, Loss and What I Wore'. The most recent project of Hilary includes the film 'Badge of Honor'.
