Women in Business Q&A: Yi Li, CEO, Orbeus, Creators of PhotoTime
04/15/2015 06:46 am ET Updated Jun 15, 2015
Yi Li is passionate about leveraging technology to build creative products that people enjoy using. Prior to joining Orbeus, Yi was Project Manager at IBM Global Technology Services in China, where her primary responsibility was the IBM-Huawei jointly developed Smart Workspace@Mobile solution. After relocating to the US, Yi worked as a Business Analyst and Quality Assurance Analyst at Merkle, one of the largest and fastest-growing customer relationship marketing (CRM) agencies in the US. Yi holds a Master's degree in Information Management from the McCallum Graduate School of Business at Bentley University.
How has your life experience made you the leader you are today?
My dad is a businessman. Traveling around when I was little has made me more accepting, more considerate, and, learnt how to adapt my plans to changing situations. As one of the co-founders of my startup I found myself quickly changing from an active, hands-on role in the building of our product to a leadership role where I needed to direct and motivate our growing team as we scaled our business.
It has been two years since we founded the company and I am still learning to evolve and grow with the needs of our business. Not only will learn how to better manage the flow of information, but more importantly, learning to delegate responsibilities, to better serve and protect my army.
How has your previous employment experience aided your role at PhotoTime?
When I graduated Bentley, I moved to northern Massachusetts, and I worked in a little town called Marlborough. Every morning, I'd go to the Dunkin' Donuts for a cup of coffee and a croissant. I didn't have much time travel around the world, but I had time to hanging out with my friends and having a good time during night and weekend hours. Life was good back then, if I could remember it.
So I started the idea of taking an active role in consciously creating memories by taking photos of my life moments, like a LifeLogger. And, I like to keep things organized. These flashbulb memories, when they came together, it's not just to define an event, but my emotional connection to it. However, every two weeks, it would take me at least two days to manually tagging and organizing all my photos, which I'm starting to get tired of.
I've been looking for a solution, but there's none. This is why we've built PhotoTime, the smartest photo album for iPhone, which employs image recognition to automatically tag and group your photos.
What advice can you offer women who are looking for a career in technology?
First, try you best to become a believer of equal opportunities, or at least have the confidence in believing it's getting there, and we can accelerate the process. If we believe that opportunities are equally to those who are smart and hard working, then the only variable is the condition inside of the organization, and that's where leadership matters.
Actually, by nature, women are super sweet and considerate, they always make the choice to scarifies their time and love for their babies and families. The same logic actually could apply in work places. We can be smart and considerate at the same time. Leadership is a choice, not a rank. Not an authority. If we treat our own team as to our family, we would choose to scarifies ourselves so that our people can feel safe and protected. And when we do, the nature response is that our people will scarifies for us.
How do you maintain a work/life balance?
Well, I think I'm still too young or too junior to give a profound suggestion on how should people maintain their work and life balance. For myself, as an entrepreneur, my work is the majority of my life at the current stage. We work together as a company, and we life and have fun together as a family. I can say I am still learning the ways of balancing a career life.
What do you think is the biggest issue for women in the workplace?
This is one of the most frequently asked questions, where I may not have a good answer for. The necessity in many prestigious jobs is to put in very long work hours, so energy-levels is a big issue for women in the workplace, especially for women who have to put many more hours into household activities - like cooking, house cleaning, and picking up the kids - to other people.
Rather than telling the differences between women and men are in the workplace, I think that it is more important to talk about what are main qualifications and requirements needed by a certain job.
What have the highlights and challenges been during your tenure at PhotoTime?
I am proud that PhotoTime is the first app that brings intelligent photo recognition technology to the public. With good performance and fast processing speed, the app makes picture organizing much easier and more fun than ever before. To achieve this goal, we put up a team with strong background in computer vision. We have research scientists experienced in artificial intelligence, developers previously working at top-tier tech companies and business gurus who have rich startup experience. Having built a ReKognition API platform capable of recognizing faces, objects and sceneries, we are very happy to see our technology can contribute to other companies' product development - the API platform is currently serving more 6000 individual and businesses worldwide. Being the leader of PhotoTime team, I feel very thankful that I can work with my amazing team members and learn from them every day.
Speaking of PhotoTime, it's the very first time for our team to work on a B2C application. After PhotoTime was launched and featured on app store, our team has received many feedbacks from our users who gave us a lot of valuable suggestions and advices. One of our biggest challenges now is how to make PhotoTime accomodate all their needs. Since PhotoTime is an artificial intelligent app, we also expect our users can be engaged with the app more actively. The more they use app, the more intelligent our app will be. Optimistically, we have received strong support from many people in Silicon Valley and we are confident that our team is able to make PhotoTime better and better.
How has mentorship made a difference in your professional and personal life?
I do not have a specific person as my mentor in my professional and personal life but I am fortunate to have a group of girls on PhotoTime's team who are independent and supportive, and passionate about what PhotoTime is doing. It is amazing that while coming from different backgrounds, we share similar mind on breaking the stereotype of women and come to Silicon Valley that is often regarded as a men dominant world.
Which other female leaders do you admire and why?
I greatly admire Jennifer Pahlka, the founder of Code for America. The first time I saw her TED Talk, my team and I were still at the incubator in Chicago. During that time, as a newb to the entrepreneurial world, I was struggling to figure out how to make our startup survive. Jennifer's talk opened a new door for me. She was running Code for America, which works with talented web professionals and cities around the country to promote public service and reboot government. Being a woman leader in a tech startup is not easy, and being a woman leader in a non-profit startup is more difficult. What Jennifer has taught me is a good company aims to feed their customers' needs but a great company has the vision of advancing the society. This idea has embedded in PhotoTime's value proposition, which we hope people can recall their beautiful life moments more easily and bring the connections among people much closer.
What do you want PhotoTime to accomplish in the next year?
I am excited to see that PhotoTime is growing rapidly and more and more people are enjoying "Photo Time". In the next year, as a technology driven app, PhotoTime aims to enhance the user experience to a new level in which customers can benefit our technology from different perspectives.

10 things to know about 6-ton ivory crush
(AP) – The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is destroying 6 tons of confiscated ivory at a federal repository outside Denver on Thursday. Here `s 10 things to know about the ivory crush:
CRUSHED TO DUST
Officials are using rock crushers to pulverize ivory elephant tusks, figurines and jewelry _ most of the U.S. stockpile of confiscated ivory _ at the National Wildlife Property Repository.
SEEKING PUBLICITY
Authorities hope the ivory crush will send a message to poachers and smugglers responsible for ivory trafficking that encourages the slaughter of thousands of elephants, most of them in Africa, each year. More likely, Thursday's event will raise consumer awareness.
THE GLOBAL TRADE
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service estimates the illegal ivory trade is a $10 billion global industry. Demand is booming in the United States and among China's growing middle class. The British-based Born Free Foundation estimates 32,000 elephants were killed last year.
THE IVORY BAN
Curbing "blood ivory" trafficking is at the top of the agenda of the 178-nation Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species, which banned the trade in 1989. Some 70 years ago, there were as many as 5 million elephants in sub-Saharan Africa. Today, just several hundred thousand are left.
WHERE IT CAME FROM
U.S. agents confiscated the ivory from smugglers, at ports of entry and even from tourists entering the United States. Fish and Wildlife officials say the ivory being destroyed represents at least 2,000 slaughtered elephants.
WHERE IT'S GOING
The pulverized ivory will be put in a large case for display to raise awareness of the issue.
The Service has used confiscated ivory as evidence in criminal and civil cases and for educational purposes. Over the years, it's accumulated far more than it needs.
MAKE A DIFFERENCE?
Kenya (in 1989 and 2011), Gabon (in 2011) and the Philippines (in June) have destroyed large quantities of ivory. Still, poaching is at record levels.
WHO'S ATTENDING
U.S. officials and representatives of conservation groups working to stop the slaughter, including the Wildlife Conservation Society, the World Wildlife Fund and the Born Free Foundation.
WHAT'S THE WILDLIFE REPOSITORY
The National Wildlife Property Repository stores items that are in violation of the U.S. Endangered Species Act or are smuggled illegally into the country. It's located at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge just north of Denver.

In Minnesota, employees' safety can be impacted by the weather. Severe cold in the winter and extreme heat in the summer are two common examples. Although OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) does not have specific standards for weather related conditions, employers have a responsibility to provide workers with conditions that are free from recognized hazards, including winter and summer weather related hazards, which are causing or likely to cause death or serious physical harm.
Best practice is to have a policy regarding safety for conditions impacted by the weather, train your workers and monitor your workers. Even if your workers believe that they already know everything about proper safety in weather related conditions, you still need to provide the training. The training should take place prior to the winter weather season and another training prior to the summer weather season if you have employees who are working outside. For the winter training, employees need to be trained on cold stress (e.g., trench foot, frostbite and hypothermia), how to recognize the conditions that lead to cold stress, the symptoms of cold stress, how to prevent it, what to do if someone is affected by cold stress, and how to select proper clothing (while this might seem obvious to hearty Minnesotans, it is not uncommon for "hearty Minnesotans" to not understand the dangers of certain conditions).
Similarly, for summer conditions, your business should have a heat illness prevention plan and your employees need to be trained on the plan, including the dangers of heat illness and how to avoid it. Heat related illnesses are prevalent in the summertime. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, the heat index values can increase by 15 degrees when working in full sunlight. OSHA has developed an app that assists employees and employers to prevent heat related illnesses. OSHA's App can be accessed at https://www.osha.gov/SLTC/heatillness/heat_index/heat_app.html.
Spangler and de Stefano, PLLP assists employers with employment issues, such as the proper classification of workers, employee handbooks, policies, non-compete agreements, etc.

Report: YouTube said to be prepping movie rental offering
In an effort to stay ahead of current trends in digital content, YouTube is said to be preparing an online movie service according to a report on entertainment blog The Wrap published late Monday. The service could start as soon as this week, its sources said.
Titles would be offered the same day that they are available for purchase on DVD or for rental via iTunes, which means YouTube would be able to avoid the so-called "window." Under agreements with the movie studios, Netflix must wait 28 days after the release of a title on DVD before it is allowed to stream them. This has put the service at a disadvantage to its competitors, some of which do not have the same agreement.
Sony Pictures, Universal and Warner have already licensed their content to YouTube, as well as several independent studios, The Wrap reports. The video site has had less success with Paramount and Fox, which have reportedly so far declined, and it is not known whether or not Disney would license its content.
The struggles to bring the movie studios on board sounds a lot like Apple's initial struggles to launch its own service. When the offering first launched in September 2006, only Disney films were available. It was not until 2008 when Apple began offering rentals did all major studios license their content to the Cupertino company.
While YouTube has offered some type of rental service since January of last year, the titles are mostly limited to independent films for the most part. The company is not commenting directly on Monday's reports, however did say it was working to add additional titles to the service. It would not comment on the validity of the report itself.
It is believed that YouTube would initially offer videos on demand, but a Hollywood source said that the company could eventually offer downloadable content. Such a move would be unusual for the company, considering it has built its success on streaming.
Sources did not know how much the site planned to charge for its rentals, but its likely that YouTube would price it close to competitors such as iTunes. Apple currently charges $2.99 for standard rentals, and $4.99 for those in high definition.

England World Cup hero Gordon Banks dies
England's 1966 World Cup-winning goalkeeper Gordon Banks has died aged 81.
Banks made a total of 73 appearances for England during his career, including every game of the victorious World Cup campaign.
However, the save he produced to deny Pele four years later, during a group stage clash with Brazil, marked his defining moment on the international stage – and is still widely regarded as one of the greatest of all time.
In a statement, released by Banks' former club Stoke City, his family said: "It is with great sadness that we announce that Gordon passed away peacefully overnight.
"We are devastated to lose him but we have so many happy memories and could not have been more proud of him."
Locals have left flowers at the statue of Gordon Banks, the footballer who died today at the age of 81.
Peter Shilton, who followed Banks as England number one, tweeted: "I'm devastated – today I've lost my hero our condolences to his family rip Gordon."
Presenter and former England striker Gary Lineker tweeted: "Oh no. Gordon Banks, an absolute hero of mine, and countless others, has died. @England's World Cup winner was one of the greatest goalkeepers of all time, and such a lovely, lovely man. #RIPGordon."

Image: The former Leicester, Stoke and Chesterfield man is widely regarded as one of the game's greatest keepers
England manager Gareth Southgate said on the Football Association website: "I am deeply saddened to hear of Gordon's passing.
"An all-time great for England, I was privileged enough to be in his company on a number of occasions.
"On behalf of everyone connected with England, I send my condolences to his wife Ursula, his family and friends."
Sir Bobby Charlton released a statement, saying: "I was proud to call him a team-mate. Obviously we shared that great day in 1966 but it was more than that. Even though I was on the pitch and have seen it many times since, I still don't know how he saved that header from Pele.
"Gordon will be deeply missed and our thoughts are with his family at this very sad time."
Image: Banks during his time with Leicester City
England and Manchester City winger Raheem Sterling tweeted: "Of course there was THAT save, but its so much more we are mourning today. RIP Gordon Banks. @England legend, your legacy will live on. All my thoughts with the family."
Along with a World Cup winner's medal, Banks also picked up six FIFA goalkeeper of the year awards.
At club level he managed two League Cup wins – the first with Leicester in 1964 and Stoke in 1972.
Banks lost the sight in his right eye after being injured in a road accident in 1972 and retired at the age of 34 as a result.

An extra pilot, riding the cockpit, reportedly saved the pilots of the Lion Air Boeing 737 Max 8, who lost control of the aircraft one day before its deadly crash last October.
The off-duty pilot, who was seated in the cockpit jumpseat, correctly identified the problem the Lion Air crew faced and explained to them how to disable a malfunctioning flight-control system and save the plane, Bloomberg reported, citing two people familiar with Indonesia's investigation.
According to the report, the next day, when the Lion Air Boeing plane crashed into Indonesia's Java Sea under the command of a different crew, the pilots faced an identical flight control system malfunction.
"All the data and information that we have on the flight and the aircraft have been submitted to the Indonesian NTSC. We can't provide additional comment at this stage due to the ongoing investigation of the accident," Lion Air spokesman Danang Prihantoro said by phone, Bloomberg reported.
Lion Air, Indonesia's largest airline, has a notoriously bad safety record. Government investigators have accused the company of ignoring their commands to ground planes with proven problems. In October 2018, a Boeing 737 MAX 8 operated by Indonesia's Lion Air plunged into the Java Sea soon after take-off, killing all 189 passengers and crew on board. The plane had experienced days of incorrect data readings, according to Indonesian officials. In fact, before the penultimate flight, engineers had replaced one of the angle-of-attack sensors.
On March 10 another Boeing 737 MAX 8 belonging to the Ethiopian Airlines crashed killing all 157 people from 35 countries who were on board. The causes of the accident are yet to be determined.

Jean and Jim
Jean's life may have turned out very differently if she hadn't been carrying a large pile of library books that spring day in Cincinnati, Ohio, in 1952. She may not have met Jim Norton, a handsome high school student, one year her senior, who gallantly opened the door for her. Talking led to dating, then an exclusive relationship, and ultimately marriage.
Career opportunities brought the couple to California. When they reached retirement age, they relocated to Oregon where Jim built a woodworking shop and maintained acres of fruit trees. "Jim's brother and sister suffered from dementia so the idea of getting the same diagnosis troubled him," said Jean. "That's why we made a commitment to live each day to the fullest." Their shared love of travel took them to Eastern and Western Europe, Russia, the Middle East and Africa.
"I noticed that tasks that had always been easy for Jim, like fixing the outdoor watering system, were suddenly beyond his ability," said Jean. "As his memory problems increased, we decided to move back to California to be closer to our children and grandchildren." They purchased a home in North San Diego County.
An MRI revealed early-stage Alzheimer's disease. Soon after, Jim had difficultly recognizing Jean. He would become extremely agitated and would frantically try to find her.
When a health problem resulted in a trip to the Emergency Room, the physician listened to her recount Jim's medical history. He asked Jean why she thought her husband had Alzheimer's disease. He asked permission to run some tests. His diagnosis wasn't Alzheimer's. His diagnosis was Lewy Body.
Lewy Body is a type of dementia that causes a progressive decline in mental abilities. Protein deposits, called Lewy bodies, develop in nerve cells in the brain regions involved in thinking, memory and motor control. People with Lewy body dementia do not respond to the medication given for Alzheimer's.
Jim's health was declining rapidly. The doctor informed Jean that it was time for hospice. She chose The Elizabeth Hospice.
"The care team was incredible. Not only did they get his medication under control, they provided me with a list of homes where Jim would receive the care he needed," said Jean. "They made all the arrangements, including transportation to the care facility. I was so stressed out. You can't believe what a relief it was for me to have someone else take care of all the details"
Several months later, Jim passed away.
"I was lost without him," said Jean. "My husband had been my life. We did everything together."
Magically, The Elizabeth Hospice stepped in to help Jean again. She received information about support groups for people who are grieving the death of a loved one. "These meetings provided me with a reason to get out of the house," she said.
After some time had passed, Jean decided that she wanted to pay back The Elizabeth Hospice for everything they had done for her. Since she had learned so much about dementia from caring for Jim, she asked to volunteer to work with dementia patients and their families.
"By volunteering, I'm helping The Elizabeth Hospice. I'm helping patients. And honestly, I'm helping myself, too."
Volunteers are an important part of The Elizabeth Hospice's care team. Whether meeting with patients, creating special keepsakes for families who are grieving or serving as community ambassadors for The Elizabeth Hospice, they are making a real difference in someone's life.

It's Time to Shatter the Stigma of Addiction…
By Outcome HealthJune 6, 2018 No Comments
…Beginning in the Doctor's Office
It's time to shatter the stigma of addiction. Shatterproof is so excited to partner with Outcome Health to educate patients nationwide about this misunderstood disease.
Shatterproof is a national nonprofit organization dedicated to reducing the devastation addiction causes families. The organization was founded in 2013 by businessman Gary Mendell, after he lost his son Brian to the disease.
21 million Americans live with a substance use disorder. Only 1 in 10 of those Americans will ever receive any form of treatment for their illness—and even fewer receive treatment that's based on proven research. To turn the tide of our country's addiction epidemic, we've got to get more Americans into better, evidence-based treatment.
That's why Shatterproof is so excited to partner with Outcome Health on a new awareness campaign. Together, we'll deliver facts about addiction directly to patients, in the environment where that information is most useful and appropriate: the doctor's office. The patient education resources deployed across Outcome Health's nationwide platform will explain the science of addiction, include messages to break stigmas, and encourage patients to talk to their doctors about pain management options.
Shatterproof is working hard to transform the way addiction is treated in America—and we've had a lot of success so far. Shatterproof has helped pass lifesaving policy change in 15 states and counting. We've been key advocates for important federal legislation, like the Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act and the 21st Century Cures Act. And at the end of 2017, our Treatment Task Force introduced the National Principles of Care for addiction—with 16 major health payers, representing over 248 million American lives, agreeing to adopt and implement these research-backed principles.
We're uniting communities around the country to Rise Up Against Addiction and join the national movement to help end the devastation addiction is causing families in communities all across this country. We're also supporting communities through the launch of our Shatterproof Family Support Programs, the Shatterproof Addiction Wellness at Work Program, and a comprehensive initiative to transform addiction treatment through a provider rating system, provider and public education, and policy and payment reform.
Treatment works for addiction, and recovery is possible for every American with this disease. We're excited to partner with Outcome Health on this important initiative. Together, we can truly shatter the deadly stigma of addiction.
Learn more about our organization, and find evidence-based resources about addiction, at shatterproof.org. And stay tuned to Outcome Health's blog for updates on our partnership and progress!
Shannon Hartley is Shatterproof's Chief Marketing Officer. Shatterproof advocates for changes in policy at the federal and state level and supports the development and implementation of evidence-based solutions for substance use disorders.

The "new" Mead Chapel (1916) was the gift of ex-governor John A. Mead. The work of Allen and Collens of Boston, it draws freely upon the vocabularies of the American classical styles of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries in its translation of the traditional New England meeting house into marble. Thus one finds a Greek Revival temple front, Georgian doors and windows and Federal tower. Above the colonnade is inscribed a quotation from Psalm XCV: "The strength of the hills is His also."
The tower houses a carillon of eleven bells. Within the building is a beautiful, Georgian-inspired panelled sanctuary with galleries on three sides. The chancel holds the college's Gress-Miles organ, installed in 1971.

A's Blank Bandits 5-0 in Season Opener
Manitowoc, WI - Many of the A's players were meeting each other for the very first time just three hours before the game.
There hadn't been any pre-season practices due to the Covid-19 situation to allow some of the team to get to know one another. That didn't stop the A's, as they took down Manitowoc 5-0 on the road to open the 2020 campaign. The 2020 season is presented by Meijer.
Manager Tim Moyer, making his managerial debut, got his first official win as the A's bench boss.

Reigning co-Most Valuable Pitcher Eric Schmitz got the start for the A's. He pitched the first four innings before turning it over to the bullpen to finish off the group shutout.
As was to be expected, the A's showed some signs of rust throughout the contest, as players were seeing their first live pitching in months, and some since last summer.
The A's took a 1-0 lead after the top of the second inning when 2017 team MVP Josh Moses crossed the plate for the A's first run of the season. The team added two runs each in the sixth and seventh to push their lead to 5-0 and secure the victory.

The club now sits idle until Tuesday, when they will face the West Allis Nationals on the road in an exhibition contest. The game will be played at Beaumont Field in Burlington, WI as the Nationals aren't allowed at their home park this summer due to local Covid-19 restrictions. Game time is set for 7:30 PM.
The Sheboygan A's are members of the Wisconsin State League and Northeastern Wisconsin Baseball League. The A's have helped develop more than 41 players that have reached professional baseball, including 2002 World Series Champion Jarrod Washburn (Anaheim Angels). All Sheboygan A's home games are played at Wildwood Baseball Park in Sheboygan. Connect with the A's on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube.

Button: A good GM knows right time for bold change
by Dan Rosen
NHL Network analyst Craig Button can relate to what Washington GM George McPhee and Carolina GM Jim Rutherford were going through during the past few weeks while watching their foundering teams fall further and further from the pack.
Button fired two coaches, Don Hay and Greg Gilbert, during his three-season tenure (2000-03) as the general manager in Calgary. Neither decision came easy. Both were made after he and his management associates took long and in-depth looks at what wasn't working and why.
"It just comes down to a case of, 'OK, we've reached the point of no return,'" Button told NHL.com Monday. "That is exactly what happens."
McPhee and Rutherford each reached that point of no return over the weekend, and both made decisions Monday morning that rocked the hockey world. McPhee brought in ex-Capitals captain Dale Hunter to replace Bruce Boudreau and Rutherford fired Paul Maurice and hired Kirk Muller.
McPhee saw 'tank was empty'
Corey Masisak - NHL.com Staff Writer
It wasn't a slump, said the Washington GM, who felt his players had tuned out Bruce Boudreau and a coaching change was in order to get the underperforming Capitals going again. READ MORE ›

Hunter was in his 11th season behind the bench for the London Knights of the Ontario Hockey League. Muller was in his first season with the Milwaukee Admirals of the American Hockey League.
Button said a manager rarely knows when the perfect time is to make a coaching change, but the decision typically comes naturally due to the unavoidable signs that go beyond winning and losing.
"We measure things by wins and losses, which you have to, but there's a lot going on behind the scenes," Button said. "There are a lot of things going on behind the scenes that people don't know about -- how you're managing your team, how you're managing internal battles, how you're managing situations not only on the ice, but off the ice."
In Button's case, he said there were specific, internal reasons why he fired Hay and replaced him with Gilbert 68 games into the 2000-01 season, but didn't want to shed light on them publicly other than to say there were conflicts that weren't dealt with the way Button would have liked.
Mostly, though, Button felt he had to fire Hay because he could see that the coach wasn't getting the most out of the team's best players. Button also said he senses that the same problem cost Boudreau and Maurice their jobs Monday.
"I really liked Donnie, and I'll tell you this -- Donnie, technically, from a coaching perspective, is as good as anybody I have ever been around," Button said. "But as time went on, he wouldn't push the best players. I'm not talking about hammering them; I'm talking about pushing them. Pushing them to be better, pushing them so they will be better and our team will be better.
"It shows up and manifests itself in wins and losses, but there's so much that goes to pushing your best players. Scotty Bowman, Ken Hitchcock or whoever you want to talk about, they push their best players. Danny Bylsma pushes his best players."
Button's second coaching change came 25 games into the 2002-03 season when he fired Gilbert and eventually replaced him with Darryl Sutter, who came on board following an 11-game interim stint by Al MacNeil.
The Flames were 6-13-3-3 when Button fired Gilbert. It was a disappointing start on many levels, but mostly because Button felt he made the necessary moves -- adding Chris Drury, Stephane Yelle and Martin Gelinas to a core that included Jarome Iginla, Craig Conroy, Toni Lydman and Robyn Regehr -- to turn Calgary into a contender.
Remember, McPhee and Rutherford also made moves over the summer aimed at raising the bar for their teams, but neither team has come close close to meeting their respective expectations.
"Our team was clearly better than it was performing," Button said of the Flames in 2002-03. "We were losing leads, we weren't able to close out games, and I just felt the essence of a good team is one that understands where they're at in a game and they don't beat themselves. I really thought our team was much better than it was performing. When Darryl Sutter got there, it confirmed it."
Rutherford and McPhee will have to wait to see if they'll get the same type of confirmation. For now, they have to trust that their instincts were right, and Button said that can be as difficult for a GM as it is to come to the conclusion that change is needed.
"The decision to make the change from the exit point of view is one that has been thought about and discussed in depth, but the coach coming in is the key that either validates your decision-making or calls it into question," Button said. "The questions will be numerous if the new coach can't affect positive change because you made the coaching change to do exactly that.
"It'll become, is the team that the GM constructed not good enough? Or does the GM not know what coach is the right fit?"

I'll leave this here. Play around the website and see what I can do. Hopefully I'll have something in my mind to move forward.

Samsung Galaxy Fold hitting the market soon?
Reports say the foldable will officially launch in about a month
After a series of delays it looks like Samsung is finally ready to launch the Galaxy Fold.
A report from Yonhap News suggests that the South Korean company is getting ready for the Samsung Galaxy Fold to hit the market at the end of July. Samsung Electronics executive Roh Tae-moon also backed up this report in the company's latest conference. This means any issues it encountered initially may have already been fixed.
Originally slated for an April release, the launch was delayed after early testers discovered glaring flaws like a crucial display component easily peeling off as if it was just a screen protector among others. Samsung went as far as cancelling pre-orders unless otherwise specified by the customer.
Samsung's first competitor in the foldable department was also affected by the delay. Huawei also recently said that the launch of their foldable device — the Mate X — will be delayed likely to avoid suffering the same fate as the early Galaxy Fold units that were lent to reviewers.
With Samsung looking at a late July release, Huawei could be following soon despite the controversy they are currently facing.

More sustainability
Globe debuted the first-ever Eco-SIM cards in Asia for postpaid mobile customers made from recycled refrigerator waste.
The initiative is part of Globe's contribution to environmental sustainability in time for January's Zero Waste Month celebration.
The Eco-SIM card was first developed in 2020, in partnership with the Veolia company; it has a neutral carbon footprint.
100 percent recycled waste
The telecom provider partnered with Thales to employ the said Eco-SIM cards starting from November last year, made from 100 percent recycled materials.
The SIM cards are made from recycled polystyrene recovered from discarded refrigerator interiors.
Thales has a comprehensive carbon offset program that also ensures there is no further carbon footprint during the manufacturing process of the Eco-SIM cards.
SIM cards, while the smallest consumer items, equate to about 20,000 tons of plastic and other polymers as about 4.5 billion cards are manufactured every year.
A global leader in advanced technologies, Thales has presence in the Philippines since 2010.
The company has been a strategic partner for consumers in the civil aviation, defense, digital security, air traffic management, and ground transportation sectors.
From eSIMs to Eco-SIMs
In 2018, Globe was also the first in the country to introduce electronic SIMs or eSIM, as another alternative to the physical SIM cards.
They are basically digital SIMS embedded in compatible mobile phone models, allowing users to manage multiple mobile numbers on just one device.
The eSIM also allows gadgets like smartphones and smartwatches to be connected under one mobile number.
Back in 2019, Globe became a signatory to the United Nations Global Compact, committing to implement universal sustainability principles on human rights, labor, environment, and anti-corruption in its operations.
While in January 2021, Globe also formally expressed its support to the globally-recognized Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosure (TCFD), supporting the TCFD framework along with more than 1,800 companies worldwide.
Globe strongly supports the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, particularly UN SDG No. 12, which highlights the roles of responsible consumption and production patterns.
Here's what to expect
We've come a long way from dial-up. Now, the name of the game is Wi-Fi 6. Amid the rise of 5G connectivity, the home internet sector is adopting the current standard for their devices. But, of course, the advance of technology is not stopping. As Wi-Fi 6 tries to take over the entire market, the industry is already working on Wi-Fi 7. With development well underway, what can you expect from the upcoming standard?
Naturally, better speeds. Recently, MediaTek showcased the world's first live demo of the new technology. In an impressive show, the standard will reportedly achieve speeds 2.4 times faster than what Wi-Fi 6 can do. The technology can maximize uses for the current spectrums available for Wi-Fi at up to 6GHz. The technology can also reduce latency and interference using MLO and MRU features.
According to MediaTek, Wi-Fi 7 will support the ever-growing need for faster internet speeds brought on by emerging uses for online users. These needs include AR/VR applications, cloud gaming, 4K video calling, and 8K streaming. With technology advancing the way it is, high-speed internet — even faster than what's available today — is turning into a necessity to cope with multi-user households.
MediaTek predicts that products that can support Wi-Fi 7 will start coming out in 2023.

With its own processor and OS
Understandably so, a good portion of the world is strongly resistant to Meta's push for a metaverse based on virtual and augmented reality. However, though people are still hesitant to try on Facebook's VR-tinted goggles, other companies are more than happy to take on the technology themselves. Google, joining Meta and Apple, is also working on its own AR headset called Project Iris.
According to sources from The Verge, Google is getting back into the augmented reality stage. The company is reportedly working on an AR headset with the current codename. The Project Iris headset is supposedly targeting a 2024 release date.
Inside the mysterious headset, the device will supposedly have its own processor and OS. Given Google's feats recently, an in-house processor and operating system are within the realms of possibility. Google recently launched its first in-house chipset for smartphones, the Tensor chip. The company is, of course, still the thriving developers of Android, currently tailoring its latest Android version for different form factors.
Plus, it's not Google's first time with an augmented reality project. Remember the ill-fated Google Glass? The revolutionary wearable had all the potential but ultimately fizzled out into oblivion. At the time, analysts cited the device's poor timing. Now, especially with other companies vying for dominance, Google does have more initiative to reestablish itself in the augmented reality market.

Category: Who was John Mark in the Bible?
Filed under: Mark (John Mark), Who was John Mark in the Bible? — 5 Comments
John Mark, often just called Mark, is the author of the gospel of Mark. He was a believer in the early church mentioned directly only the book of Acts. John Mark is first mentioned as the son of a woman named Mary (Acts 12:12), whose house was being used as a place for believers to gather and pray. Later, Mark is mentioned as a companion of Barnabas and Paul during their travels together (Acts 12:25). John Mark was also Barnabas' cousin (Colossians 4:10).
John Mark was a helper on Paul and Barnabas' first missionary journey (Acts 13:5). However, he did not stay through the whole trip. John Mark deserted Paul and Barnabas in Pamphylia and left the work (Acts 15:38). The Bible does not say why Mark deserted, but his departure came right after a mostly fruitless time in Cyprus (Acts 13:4–12). Only one conversion is recorded in Cyprus, but there had been strong demonic opposition. It's likely that the young John Mark was discouraged at the hardness of the way and decided to return to the comforts of home.
Some time later, after Paul and Barnabas had returned from their first journey, Paul expressed a desire to go back to the brothers in the cities they had previously visited to see how everyone was doing (Acts 15:36). Barnabas agreed, apparently upon the provision that they take John Mark with them. Paul refused to have Mark on the trip, however, citing Mark's previous desertion. Paul thought it best not to have a quitter with them; they needed someone more dependable. Paul and Barnabas had a "sharp disagreement" about John Mark (verse 39) and wound up separating from each other and going on separate journeys. Barnabas took John Mark with him to Cyprus, and Paul took Silas with him through Syria and Cilicia to encourage the believers in the churches in those areas (Acts 15:39–41).
Barnabas, the "son of encouragement" (Acts 4:36), desired to forgive John Mark's failure and to give him another chance. Paul took the more rational view: pioneering missionary work requires dedication, resolve, and endurance. Paul saw John Mark as a risk to their mission. Luke, the writer of Acts, does not take sides or present either Paul or Barnabas as being in the right. He simply records the facts. It's worth noting that, in the end, two groups of missionaries were sent out—twice as many missionaries were spreading the gospel.
John Mark sails off to Cyprus with his cousin Barnabas, but that is not the end of his story. Years later, he is with Paul, who calls him a "fellow worker" (Philemon 1:24). And near the end of Paul's life, Paul sends a request to Timothy from a Roman prison: "Get Mark and bring him with you, because he is helpful to me in my ministry" (2 Timothy 4:11). Obviously, John Mark had matured through the years and had become a faithful servant of the Lord. Paul recognized his progress and considered him a valuable companion.
John Mark wrote the gospel that bears his name sometime between AD 55 and 59. There could be a veiled reference to John Mark in Mark 14:51–52. In that passage a young man, roused from sleep on the night that Jesus was arrested, attempts to follow the Lord, and the mob who had Jesus in custody attempts to seize him. The young man escapes and flees into the night. The fact that this incident is only recorded in Mark's gospel—and the fact that the young man is anonymous—has led some scholars to surmise that the fleeing young man is actually John Mark.

Horse Music
By WUOL
Blog Video
It's Derby Week in Louisville. So let's look at some equine-related music. American Louis Moreau Gottschalk grew up in New Orleans where he was familiar with horse racing. His Tournament Galop reflects the excitement of the race.
Josef Strauss – from the family of Viennese dance hall Strausses- wrote a fast polka about horse racing, even including the crack of the rider's whip in the Jockey Polka.
Richard Wagner's Ride of the Valkyries might be the most spectacular moment of horses in music. Brünnhilde and here sisters gather in preparation for the transportation of fallen heroes to Valhalla.
Franz von Suppe's "Light Cavalry Overture" climaxes with a stately galop that will be familiar to most people. It's a measured trot suggesting Cavalry troops with horses all in step.
William Bolcom's Seattle Slew suite for orchestra appears on on of the First Edition series recordings by the Louisville Orchestra. It was written for the Pacific Northwest Ballet, and is named after the 1977 Triple Crown Winner Seattle Slew. A three-movement romp, the movements are called "Derby Dressage," "Preakness Promenade" and "Belmont Bourée." The work is high-spirited largely because the movements incorporate ragtime and tango elements.

Proportional representation (PR) is a democratic principle specifying that people should be represented in proportion to how they voted. This means the percentage of seats a party has in the legislature should reflect the percentage of people who voted for that party.
Under our current first-past-the-post system, voters elect a single representative in each single-member riding, no matter how diverse the voters in a riding may be. This makes it impossible for all voters in a riding to elect a representative that represents their values and priorities. In some ridings, 70% of the voters cast ballots which elect no-one.
In contrast, any PR voting system elects several representatives at once for a given geographic region so that most voters in that region have a voice in Parliament. This approach yields a fair result in which 30% of the votes yields 30% of the seats.
All models of proportional representation that have been put forward for Canada feature:
Proportional results
Regional representation
More Voter Choice
Direct election of representatives and accountability to voters.
With made-for-Canada proportional representation:
Almost every vote will count to define the makeup of the legislature.
Almost every voter will help elect a representative who shares their values.
All regions will have representation in both government and as part of the opposition.
A single party will no longer be able to attain a majority government with just 40% of the vote.
Cooperation and compromise will become the norm.
Made-in-Canada PR models
Proportional systems can be designed in different ways. Fair Vote Canada believes any proposals for PR in Canada should be "made-for-Canada" proposals that retain a strong element of local and regional representation, while ensuring that representatives are directly elected by the voters and personally accountable to them. These criteria have led Fair Vote Canada to propose regionally-based models in which voters personally elect all candidates.
Mixed Member Proportional
Mixed Member Proportional (MMP) as envisaged for Canada would involve the creation of top-up regions normally including from 8 to 16 representatives. About 60% of these representatives would be elected as they are now, using first-past-the-post in single-member ridings. This would free up about 40% of the available seats to be allocated as top-ups to ensure proportionality overall in each region. In the transition from our current system to MMP, existing single member ridings would be made larger to make room for the top-up seats and avoid having to increase the number of seats. Citizens wishing to contact their representative would have a choice of contacting their local representative or one of the regional representatives.

Single Transferable Vote (STV) and Local PR
Single Transferable Vote (STV) is a multi-member model. Instead of electing representatives one at a time in single-member ridings, we group a number of ridings together and elect group of representatives that reflects the diversity of voter preferences in the STV district. Each voter gets a single vote, using a preferential ballot that allows voters to express their preferences 1, 2, 3 for as many candidates as they wish to rank. Candidates need to achieve a certain share of the vote to win a seat. Local PR is a multi-member system based on the same principles of STV with a twist in the counting system to ensure that one locally-nominated candidate is elected in every current local riding. Citizens wishing to contact their representative could choose from any of the elected representatives in their multi-member STV or Local PR district. This might be a representative from the party of their choice or one closer to home.

Rural-Urban Proportional combines features of both multi-member and top-up systems, and is designed to accommodate the specifics of Canada's varied geography. The aim of Rural-Urban Proportional is to avoid creating exceedingly large multi-member ridings in sparsely-populated parts of the country. The number of seats per riding would be reduced in such areas, which could include a certain number of single-member ridings if necessary. To ensure a high level of proportionality despite this feature, the system would include a small number of top-up seats at the regional level. Citizens wishing to contact their representative could choose one from the party of their choice or one closer to home.

Q: Error parsing xhtml since '<' character inside the string that is meant to be uploaded to website I am using python to upload a string into a website using requests.put() method but I am getting an error while trying to upload that string onto the website. The error is in the form of a parsing error which states:

I understand why it is showing since I have the '<' in my string and since this is html code the parser is looking for corresponding '>' without knowing that this is part of string. I tried escaping with a backslash ('<') and also ('\<') but it does not work as then I get a syntax error which states incorrect use of escape character.

A Guide To All The Stephen King Easter Eggs In 'The Dark Tower' [Updated]
By Ben Pearson/Aug. 8, 2017 8:15 am EST
Update: Now that The Dark Tower is out, we've updated our handy guide to the Stephen King easter eggs hidden in the movie.
With the release of The Dark Tower, it marks the (hopefully) first film adaptation of Stephen King's multi-novel magnum opus. Our own Jacob Hall will have a full interview with director Nikolaj Arcel here on the site in the coming days, but during their Comic-Con chat, Arcel teased that The Dark Tower will contain easter eggs reference King's 1975 novel Salem's Lot, and we've seen in previous trailers that there are references to The Shining, It, and more.
Spoilers for The Dark Tower ahead.
In the Dark Tower books, the titular tower is a gateway to the many worlds within King's works. A brief teaser for The Dark Tower debuted at Entertainment Weekly highlights most of the Stephen King easter eggs that the film has in store for us. Here are the ones spotted in the teaser and the movie itself.
At the beginning of the movie, Jake is forced to see a psychiatrist to discuss his strange dreams and visions. However, in the middle of his therapy session, there's an earthquake — caused by the Man in Black's attack on the Tower — and the movie makes a quick cut to the therapist's desk. On that desk is a framed picture of the Overlook Hotel, the eerie setting of King's The Shining. The picture is from Stanley Kubrick's 1980 adaptation of The Shining starring Jack Nicholson.
Another possible reference to The Shining is this shot of two twins, who are prisoners of the Man in Black, which fans speculate is a nod to the terrifying Grady Twins.
Jake discovers an abandoned theme park with a very familiar name to it: Pennywise. That's right, the name of It's murderous clown pops up in The Dark Tower, one month before Andy Muschietti's adaptation of It hits theaters in September.
"The Shine"
Jake's prophetic powers and visions are referred to as "The Touch" in the Dark Tower books, what the residents of Mid-World use to refer to children who have the ability to see reality beyond their natural senses. "The Touch" is swapped out for "The Shine" in the movie, and is what Jake and Roland have in common with each other, as well as other children in King's stories. Namely, Danny Torrance in The Shining, who has the ability to see the malicious spirits in the Overlook Hotel and talk to his not-so-imaginary friend Tony. "The Shine" has popped up in other King books as well, including The Stand, which describes prophetic visions as "the shining lamp of God... sometimes just the shine."
In addition to shots that reference It's Pennywise the Clown and The Shining's Overlook Hotel, we also get a look at gunslinger Roland Deschain (Idris Elba) turning a corner and smacking his hand against a poster of actress Rita Hayworth, which played an important role obscuring Andy Dufresne's escape tunnel in The Shawshank Redemption.
Recognize that pedestrian's canine companion? It's Cujo, the dog who becomes rabid and institutes a reign of terror over a small town in the 1992 film adaptation of King's novel.
There's no mistaking that shiny red and white paint job: that's Christine, the 1958 Plymouth Fury from John Carpenter's 1983 spin on King's book.
I haven't read King's 2014 novel Mr. Mercedes, but after seeing the trailer for the upcoming TV adaptation, that smiley face is an easy reference to point out.
Since I've only read the first Dark Tower book, I don't know if it's canon that Matthew McConaughey's Walter (aka the Man in Black) actually has time to read author Paul Sheldon's novels from Misery during all of his scheming while he attempts to bring the mystical Dark Tower crashing to the ground. I prefer to think that one of his underlings just left this copy of "Misery's Child" near his keyboard as a suggestion for something Walter should read in his spare time. "Hey Walter, I know you're kind of busy being devious and stuff all the time, but you should really check this out!"
And finally, this portal between worlds has the numbers 1408 scrawled above it, which seems like a pretty clear shout-out to King's short story and the John Cusack/Samuel L. Jackson movie adaptation of it.
After the Man in Black's attack on a friendly village, Jake takes cover in a corn field. The cornfield imagery can be seen as a nod toward Stephen King's 1977 short story Children of the Corn, later adapted to film in 1984, about a remote town whose children are involved in a killer cult.
Head over to EW to see some more potential easter eggs in their teaser, and let us know in the comments how you're feeling about this movie.
This Dark Tower teaser below references The Shining, It, The Shawkshank Redemption, Carrie, Christine, and The Stand. As Jacob Hall noted in our chat room, this feels more like it should be a teaser for the Hulu TV series Castle Rock, which is set in the Stephen King multiverse, rather than promoting a movie that will barely touch on these properties.
The Dark Tower is currently playing in theaters.
