Artificial Intelligence - The Facts!
Once the topic of Artificial Intelligence creeps into conversation, an inescapable sci-fi plot plays through my mind… you know the typical, man-made intelligence exceeds limits and turns on the creator.
It seems the theme of AI/ relationship between human and robot, has been conquered by Hollywood. However, the Scientifics behind it, may not be so far behind. ANI [Artificial Narrow Intelligence] is used by us and for us every day and I bet you didn't even know it!
EXAMPLE: When your plane lands, it's not a human that decides which gate it should go to. Just like it's not a human that determined the price of your ticket.
DID YOU KNOW that some typical ANI's within our lives today are Siri, Amazon cloud, automated telephone calls, suggestions on Google, 'recommendations for you' and email spam filtering?
DID YOU KNOW that technological progress has been five times faster than the average rate of progress during the 20th century?
DID YOU KNOW that apps such as Crystal use an AI system to help structure emails based upon the original sent by the recipient or AI in navigation devices which follow your route and keeps updated with disruptions and diversions?
DID YOU KNOW that researchers in the US have used artificial intelligence to better understand the military strategy - for example most recently that of Islamic State Extremists?
DID YOU KNOW that ANI's programmed for one specific purpose can be given important positions such as monitoring of the financial market or detonating bombs?
DID YOU KNOW that even toys can be forms of AI such as Furby's or Tamagotchi's?
DID YOU KNOW that AI within healthcare creates a more efficient health system and can also be used to replace limbs and allow access to mobility once lost?
It seems as though AI, and its progression to date, is completely beneficial for society and many believe it needs to stay this way- so why is there such distrustful and doubtful worry surrounding the growth of artificial intelligence?
At the moment we have achieved ANI and most recently AGI [computers with human –level general intelligence] and have plans to concur ASI [artificial super intelligence]. So once computers have superior-to-human intelligence, who's to say that the tables won't turn?
STORAGE: Imagine being able to remember everything you have ever read or seen or experienced, with room for that to grow every day! Like the human brain, computers, which are at the core of every AI/AG, are not confined by matters such as the skull and mind. A computer is able to store more information at a faster and more efficient rate than any human would hope and memory (RAM or hard drive) is found and stowed within a circuit of databases- so storage is limitless.
RELIABILITY: However advanced we have become intellectually, it has always been clear that the human race works better collaboratively, whether it's to create languages or gather food, working together is what has kept us surviving and thriving. Nevertheless, any computers information and any AG/ASI concepts and strategic input would be far more reliable than any biological neurons we've advanced. Software is regularly updated with new improvements or information/bug fixes and all software updates will be synced to each computer and database automatically. This means that even artificial-collective intellect would be more advanced. So our reliance on the knowledge and accessibility gives AI superiority via intelligence.
So it seems the integration of AI into life has been seamless and all the while enhancing the way we live, however if the day arrives in which the computer is smarter than the inventor, well… I think I might start being a little nicer to my sat nav now.


The Knoll Cattery offers luxury accommodation for your treasured pet. The cats are housed in spacious cabins with controlled heating, which lead to a large runs with sun shelves and ladders. All runs have wonderful views onto beautiful countryside.
Larger cabins are available for up to five cats from the same family to share.
All bedding is supplied, however it is suggested that if a cat has a favourite toy or old garment with which it is familiar, it should be brought to make the cat feel more at home.


A project house is sometimes both a blessing and a curse. On one hand, our home needed a total overhaul which has been awesome because I get to redo everything in my own style. On the other hand there isn't a big budget for everything I want to do. I'm often challenged to find a way to pretty up a lot of crazy things that someone else thought was mighty dandy. My DIY faux pavers project I just completed helped me check one of those odd ball things off my list this weekend.
We have a little stretch of sidewalk that runs right in front of the house. It used to bother me a lot. It was old, stained and it didn't fit with the rest of our hose. Every, and I mean every sidewalk all around the house, our driveway as well as the entire backyard is pavers.
Everything…but this little stretch of old dingy concrete.
I used BEHR PREMIUM DeckOver Coating to make faux DIY pavers to help blend the existing pavers with this lonely stretch of sidewalk that didn't fit in. I even made a pretty cool video to show you how easy it is to make your own DIY faux pavers or faux bricks.
DeckOver comes in 54 custom colors, so I had no trouble coming close to the main color of my pavers.
Follow Behr's recommendations to properly prepare your surface before starting your own project. Be sure to wait at least 24 hours for it to dry and 72 hours for it to fully cure.
I'm liking my DIY faux pavers a lot.
Now that I've found a budget friendly way of DIYing my plain old sidewalk.
Any ideas on what I should do with the lamppost that's in the middle of the sidewalk?
This post is brought to you by BEHR. Color that's True to Hue. If you feel it you can find it. Visit True To Hue.

"I believe the future of microtia reconstruction lies in tissue engineering not alloplastic techniques. Plastic ears have significant drawbacks that living tissue, autogenous or in the future, engineered tissue do not. The significant benefit of engineered tissue in microtia will be the reduction of surgery required to complete the process," said Dr. Jones.
To date Dr. Jones expertise has led him to develop several improvements to the sculpted rib graft technique. These include the ICG (Integrated Cartilage Graft), the WAE (Wrap¬¬-Around Ear), JE (Juxaposition Ear), and the BE (Bespoke Ear). Each of these specialized techniques was developed by Dr. Jones to address certain reconstruction issues and positively impact his young patients' quality of life.
Dr. Mark Mitchell Jones of Atlanta Plastic Surgery Specialists is located at 2001 Peachtree St. N.E. Suite 630, Atlanta, GA 30309. He can be reached at 404-355-3566 or online at http://www.atlantaear.com/.


Manchester College in northern Indiana is changing its name to Manchester University this summer.
The name change comes as the North Manchester-based school is expected to open its new School of Pharmacy in Fort Wayne in August.
Manchester vice president Dave McFadden told The Journal Gazette in Fort Wayne that adopting the university name reflects the school's growing complexity. Besides the doctor of pharmacy program, Manchester offers master's degrees in education and athletic training.
The private liberal arts school with about 1,300 students was founded in 1899.
The name change will be official July 1 but will be implemented over the next several months.

Foundation calls for reinstatement of Racial Discrimination Act
The Fred Hollows Foundation | Posted 15/03/10
The Fred Hollows Foundation supports calls for the Federal Government to reinstate the Racial Discrimination Act immediately, as recommended by a report released today by the Australian Indigenous Doctors' Association on the Northern Territory Emergency Response.
"Our view is that the Racial Discrimination Act should be put back in place immediately," The Foundation's CEO Brian Doolan said.
"Aboriginal people in the Northern Territory have been without the protections enjoyed by other Australians for almost three years."
"This is an unacceptable situation and, as found in this report, continues to have a negative impact on the wellbeing of Aboriginal people."
The report, which was partly funded by The Foundation, calls for the Government to reconsider the way it engages with Indigenous people, especially in relation to the Northern Territory Intervention and the loss of Indigenous rights through the removal of the Racial Discrimination Act.
Mr Doolan believes that the findings detailed in the report reaffirm the concerns raised in The Foundation's submission to the recent Senate Inquiry relating to the evaluation of the Northern Territory Emergency Response.
"This report reinforces the messages that The Foundation has been receiving from Aboriginal people since the beginning of the intervention," Doolan said.
"The Government should seriously consider the recommendations of this important report and the rigorous assessment of evidence that has led to these findings."
"The first step is to urgently address the way the Government engages with Indigenous people and work to reset that relationship."

Q: Concatinate unknown number of values in sqlite I am using sqlite 3.15.1 .
I have a table master containing master timetable of a college.
It looks like :
day         sem         sec         hour        sub_id
----------  ----------  ----------  ----------  ----------
MON         5           B           4           10IS51
MON         5           B           4           10IS53
MON         5           B           5           10CS54
MON         5           B           6           10CS55
MON         5           B           7           10CS53
MON         3           A           1           10CS33

and many more values....
There are multiple sub_id for same other values , meaning - On Monday 1st hour, 5th B students might have 2 or more lab (sub_id). (Its conducted in batches).
To get a proper timetable, I am doing this :
select day,
max( case when hour =1 then sub_id end ) as 'hour-1',
max( case when hour =2 then sub_id end ) as 'hour-2',
max( case when hour =3 then sub_id end ) as 'hour-3',
max( case when hour =4 then sub_id end ) as 'hour-4',
max( case when hour =5 then sub_id end ) as 'hour-5',
max( case when hour =6 then sub_id end ) as 'hour-6',
max( case when hour =7 then sub_id end ) as 'hour-7',
max( case when hour =8 then sub_id end ) as 'hour-8'
from master
where sem=5 and sec='B'
group by day
order by day;

But it gives only one value when multiple values occur i.e, the max() value. When I use min() , I get the min() value. How can I get both ?
the resultant view looks like :
day         hour-1      hour-2      hour-3      hour-4      hour-5      hour-6      hour-7      hour-8

That is, All the classes - comma separated , instead of min() or max().
Is it possible to achieve this ? please help me.
Thanks.

With RSNA 2018 just around the corner (November 25 - 30), it's time for our annual interview with the current RSNA president. Dr. Vijay Rao took time to fill us in on her background, her goals as president and some of the pressing matters for members today.
HCB News: What inspired you to get involved in health care?
Dr. Vijay Rao: I grew up admiring my physician father who was devoted to excellence in patient care. He came from a very poor family, studied under street lamps in India, and put himself through medical school. He was determined to provide the highest level of education to his children. I was the youngest of six siblings. Three of us became physicians and the other three became engineers. I am grateful to my parents, who gave me opportunities to pursue my dreams.
HCB News: How has radiology changed since you started your career?
VR: Where to begin? Imaging technology has advanced by leaps and bounds through the years and transformed the practice of medicine, allowing for noninvasive or minimally-invasive diagnostics and, in many cases, eliminating the need for exploratory surgery. Recently, the transition toward a patient-centered model of care has reshaped the specialty in a positive way. In patient-centered practice, we can position ourselves as visible, integral members of the healthcare team and provide a wider spectrum of care to our patients.
HCB News: How long have you been a member of the RSNA and why did you decide to join?
VR: I became a proud RSNA member in 1981. RSNA is the premier society supporting research and education in radiology, and I am honored to be a part of it. As a young faculty member, it was incredibly rewarding to present my research at the RSNA. This is the meeting I looked forward to each year to learn new developments in the field. I have always been a strong supporter of collaboration and mentoring. Through my RSNA membership I was introduced to radiology leaders and innovators from around the world. These mentors and colleagues have inspired me both personally and professionally. Through all my years serving on RSNA committees and, ultimately, the board of directors, I have forged lasting friendships through shared commitment to the RSNA mission of promoting excellence in patient care.
HCB News: What initiatives are you championing as president?
VR: It is important to me to emphasize the crucial role of radiology in transforming health care delivery in the digital age. RSNA is in a prime position to foster innovative ideas that capitalize on the power of emerging technologies to improve all aspects of health care. These innovations truly embody the theme of RSNA 2018: "Tomorrow's Radiology Today." In my President's Address, "How Emerging Technology Will Empower Tomorrow's Radiologists to Provide Better Patient Care", I'll discuss how AI and other advances will allow radiologists not only to improve the quality of care they provide to patients, but also the personal and professional satisfaction they derive from their work. I also care deeply about the global opportunities to improve education and patient care by leveraging new technology.

Q: Image ovefllowing a flex item I'm working on a flex box layout of 3 columns. The left/right columns are for text and the middle column is for an image. I would like to understand why the image overflows or forces the height of the middle column to increase. The middle flex item is set to flex:0 0 60%;. From my understanding this tells it to not shrink or grow and have a basis of 60% of the flex container's width. For demo purposes i have made a CodePen also i am using a 2400x2400 image to show the issue with very large images

A: You forgot to explicitly cpecify height of the parent element:

In some senses Christianity itself can be seen as a meme, but by now an ineffectual one, blunted by its own popularity, which has overridden any message it might once have had. Nowadays it's more a breeding ground for memes- popular ones these days are the Promise Keepers, WWJD?, the little chrome fish, and of course True Love Waits. Still more ineffectual than your average tennis shoe commercial.
Rave-id Jahweh Lunch, like many others here (hi saige!), is confusing the selling of Christianity (or its silly Merkin culture), with the actual, vital, supernatural thing of Christianity. The heroes in Acts didn't sell it like it was some whiz-bang deodorant - they just lived and spoke it, and let the Holy Spirit do the work of conversion. Yes, go piss all over these modern bourgeois hucksters - but don't assume that they represent Christianity.
Simple, easy. Nothing to fear, simply believe in Christ, accept him as your personal Savior, and your sins will be forgiven. For some, it may simply be an easy way out, for (most) others, reassuring security. But no one can deny the amazing power behind this simple concept. That's why the symbol of Christianity is the cross, why the death of the religion's God is so celebrated.
It's interesting that in most forms of modern Christianity, Judas is so vilified. Yes, he did betray Jesus to the Romans, but he was serving an important function, probably sent by God (the Father) Himself, to allow Christ to die for our sins.
A bit of a note here: I am not Christian. I do not believe in sin, or god, or salvation. The above is my interpretation of the Bible stories within the context of the modern Christian faith. My historical interpretation is that Judas was indeed a creep who turned in Jesus to the Romans, who excecuted him because he was a dangerous political radical. Jesus challenged the foundations of society (look at the story of Jesus and the Moneychangers, for a start: John 2:13-22).

Once interior structural work was complete, the cabin was primed and then painted with Pettit's Easypoxy. The next step was to add teak trim, giving Dancing Bear a bright and light appearance down below.
ters of a 1974 Dodge Constellation camper van parked on the hard next to Dancing Bear.
I started in June 2004, and it took me a week to set up my workspace in an old horse stall. While the weather remained good, we decided to focus our attention on the deck, aiming to have it primed before fall. I'd work all day, and Mark would join me in the evenings, on weekends, and whenever he had a free moment. The original Cal 40 was distinguished by its teak cockpit coamings, handrails, dorade boxes, and other deck trim. We decided early in the process—not for aesthetics but for practicality—to lose the wood. Its absence meant three things: no need to varnish, no potential for rot, and fewer holes in the deck. It also gave us some nice trophies to hang in the barn.
Loosening 40-year-old slotted bronze bolts required both patience and WD-40. We saved everything we could, just in case we decided to put it back on. This included the one-piece teak toerails, which we carefully extracted, and some beautiful bronze work, which we intended to reuse. Since we were jettisoning the teak, we needed a coaming substitute to keep water out of the cockpit. These we carved from 3-inch blocks of Air ex foam, then glassed them in place and faired them.
We planned on reusing the Force 10 stove, but the previ ous owner's solution for propane storage—a bottle lashed on deck or floating freely in the stern—demanded a rethink. A couple of 12-inch-diameter sections of unused fiberglass sewage pipe were cut to fit and glassed in place. New lids were fabricated out of Coosa, a high-density closed-cell foam that's stronger and tougher than Airex.
Next on the list was the hull/deck joint, which was exposed after stripping off the teak toerail. Originally, the deck had been set down onto the hull flange with a single layer of fiberglass mat wet out with polyester resin. The original mat was still visible and rough. Over the years, the flexing of the hull and deck in various places had caused this bond to separate. In a few spots, there were gaps you could stick a knife through.
We didn't plan on repaint-
ing the hull sides, but since the boat's interior was being gutted and the paint stripped anyway, we decided to rebuild the structural joint from the inside, re-tabbing the bulkheads and floor pan at the same time. This was done with six overlapping layers of 45/45-bias 8-ounce glass and standard sections of 8-ounce cloth 6 to 12 inches wide.
Finishing the exterior joint was thus a matter of cosmetics. Because we didn't want to mess with the hull sides, we weren't left with much of an overlap with which to work. The deck had been cut at a slightly inverse angle, so to prevent cracking, we stuffed the Kevlar core of an old piece of rope saturated with epoxy into the gap. We then bonded in place strips of Airex foam, which were sanded to achieve the desired curve at the sheer. Over the foam went one layer of 2-inch-wide Kevlar unidirectional reinforcement tape and one layer of 2-inch-wide strips of 6-ounce cloth.
Next, we modified the cutouts for the old glass port-lights and fiberglass hatches so they'd accept the new aluminum-framed Lexan and acrylic replacements. After a lot more sanding, we were ready to prime.
On the deck, we used Awl-grip's 545 and Highbuild products, then an Awlgrip topcoat. Inside, we went with Pettit's Easypoxy, priming first. Pettit also has a new bottom paint called Vivid, which we used. Colors can be mixed and matched, lending the option of high-visibility colors for rudders and keels. On top of that, wet sanding to 800 grit took less than half a day.
We decided Dancing Bear was of the polar species. So Matterhorn White and Whis
Dancing Bear's teak handrails were replaced with stainless steel along the cabin top, and StarBoard was used in place of the one-piece teak toerail. "No wood, no varnish" was the mantra guiding the rebuild.
per Gray, both with a hint of blue, were obvious color choices. Inside, we stuck with semigloss white, reasoning that a bright interior with a bit of teak trim would be less claustrophobic than darker options. After the top coat, it was time for us to put Danc ing Bear back together.
At this stage, we were lucky to have the assistance for a couple of weeks of veteran solo sailor David White, who founded the BOC Challenge and competed in the first two races. After the new hatches and portlights were installed,
How To Have A Perfect Boating Experience
Lets start by identifying what exactly certain boats are. Sometimes the terminology can get lost on beginners, so well look at some of the most common boats and what theyre called. These boats are exactly what the name implies. They are meant to be used for fishing. Most fishing boats are powered by outboard motors, and many also have a trolling motor mounted on the bow. Bass boats can be made of aluminium or fibreglass.

You were one of our Scholarship recipients for 2013; please share how you benefited from the scholarship both personally and professionally.
Upon receiving the scholarship from WAM NY, I opted for the Boulder MTF training in Turin for 2013, but I could not make it due to the short time that I had to preparations for the trip. I however requested that the scholarship be moved to Boulder MTF training in Turin for 2014, which was done successfully.
The three weeks training from the 5th of July to the 25th of July 2014 was an exciting experience, characterized by intense training and networking with microfinance players, donors, funders, policy makers, and regulators from all over the world. I noted that my three years' experience in microfinance was a tiny drop in the ocean. There is much more to it that I have seen or heard. My eyes were opened to see that a lot more can be done than what is already being done in my home country.
In the short-term I intent to learn more about the developmental work field by attending trainings, exchange programs, seminars and conferences both local and international. I have also applied for an MPhil in Development Finance starting in 2015 to enhance my knowledge.
In the medium-term I am planning to establish a microfinance firm reaching the poorest in my home country.
I intend to establish a wholesale fund to finance microfinance organizations in Zimbabwe and the region in the long-term.
Women who intend to join the Microfinance profession should look forward to encountering an exciting and fulfilling field. They should be driven by a heart for developmental work since they have to engage with clients at a much closer range than the mainstream financial services. It is a requirement that they understand the livelihood of their client base to the extent of going an extra mile in assisting them to achieve financial empowerment.
Is there a message you would like to send to all supporters of WAM NY's fundraisers who helped make the scholarship initiative such a big success?
I am forever grateful to all supporters of WAM NY fundraisers for awarding me this rare opportunity to learn more about the microfinance field in such an interactive way by attending Boulder MTF 2014. May you continue with this great work which is making a difference in the lives of many women microfinance practitioners, solving their greatest challenges in achieving leadership roles.

Pershing Enhances PrimeConnect™ Collateral Management Application

Groundbreaking solution updated in response to trends impacting alternative asset industry
JERSEY CITY, N.J. - Pershing LLC, a BNY Mellon company, today announced enhancements to its PrimeConnect™ application, most notably adding a seamless link to Pershing's Fully Paid Securities Lending program.
The new connection to Pershing's Fully Paid Securities Lending program allows hedge funds, through a fully automated solution, to transfer fully paid securities from BNY Mellon to Pershing, at which point the securities are available to be borrowed by Pershing. It also allows hedge fund managers to be able see the earning potential for fully paid assets in the Prime Services dashboard on NetX360®, Pershing's technology platform.
Pershing's PrimeConnect provides hedge fund managers, who use a bank custodian, to hold unencumbered assets with transparency and control of collateral selection and movements. Its counterpart, PrimeConnect40, is the technology for '40 Act fund managers using the tri-party structure to support alternative strategies.
By using real-time connectivity to Pershing's margin systems, the PrimeConnect applications are able to calculate the effect of specific securities movements before a fund manager commits to action. This helps fund managers deploy their collateral in the most efficient manner possible. Additional updates to both PrimeConnect and PrimeConnect40 include workflow improvements, greater collateral management and easier viewing of asset movements across bank and custody accounts.
"PrimeConnect and PrimeConnect40 are integral parts of Pershing's prime brokerage offering built on our counterparty strength, innovative technology, uncompromised commitment to our client's business and an exceptional level of transparency," said Gerry Tamburro, managing director at Pershing LLC. "PrimeConnect and PrimeConnect40 can help increase operational efficiencies for hedge fund and mutual fund managers by allowing them to move collateral in an efficient and transparent way."
Additionally, with real-time acknowledgement of requests, PrimeConnect and PrimeConnect40 can group transfers into units of work to ensure that either all movements are successful or none are completed. This gives fund managers the freedom to substitute collateral throughout the day. Moreover, dual-level approval options provide flexible approval streams to meet client's internal workflow requirements.
Brian Ruane, CEO of Broker-Dealer Services at BNY Mellon, added, "Pershing's PrimeConnect is just one example of how BNY Mellon is leading the way in helping clients to source and optimize collateral, enhance the velocity and mobility of that collateral, and to address their wider requirements around liquidity, financing and reporting."

TV Bulletin Board (July 20) -- Shaq vs. Phelps vs. Pujols vs . . .
Shaq vs. Olympian Michael Phelps, tennis star Serena Williams, etc.
Shaquille O'Neal apparently is bored, even though he'll be joining LeBron James on the Cleveland Cavaliers in the upcoming season.
In his spare time, Shaq will be training for six matchups with prominent athletes in other fields. His new playground, Shaq Vs., is set to premiere Aug. 18th on ABC, the network and Media Rights Capital announced Monday.
O'Neal plans to "train hard and win, so look out," he says in press materials. He'll also level the competitions by negotiating handicaps with opponents.
Perhaps Shaq can vow to swim 10 feet before Michael Phelps covers an entire pool length. That's one of his foes. He'll also be competing against tennis star Serena Williams; Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger; St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Albert Pujols; boxer Oscar de la Hoya and Olympic beach volleyball gold medalists Kerri Walsh and Misty May-Treanor, who was injured last season competing on ABC's Dancing with the Stars.
"Shaq is the only one with the athletic skills and personality to carry this unique project," say ABC programming execs. Take that, Terrell Owens.


Sales calls can be tricky waters to navigate, especially if you are calling new sales leads or prospects. Before you set sail and dial that phone number, be sure you have done your research ahead of time regarding the person or business you are calling, know what you want to say and who to ask for, and be ready to answer questions!
No one wants to hit the seas only to find out after they've departed that they don't have adequate supplies. The same goes for sales calls; you don't want to find yourself in a position where you might lose out on a sale opportunity only because you weren't fully prepared. So before you pick up your phone, follow these tips to ensure you are ready for your voyage.
1. Over prepare. Everyone is familiar with the saying "it is better to have it an not need it than need it and not have it." Apply this principle to your sales call preparation. Define the purpose of call ahead of time; know exactly who you are calling, why you are calling them, and what you want to achieve with that call. (Do you want to set up a meeting? Gauge interest in a future sales opportunity? These slight differences matter when calling prospects.) Write a list of questions you may have for your prospect as well as a list of answers to anticipated questions they may have for you. Create a script for yourself, one that is direct and simple. Just be sure you don't stick so rigidly to it that you sound like a robot over the phone.
2. Practice, practice, practice. In the same way a sailor might practice tying nautical knots in their downtime, salespersons will want to practice their sales delivery. Cold calling can be nerve wracking for less experienced individuals, and those nerves can easily be translated through your voice during a call. Practice your sales script out loud, to yourself before delivering it to a prospect. Play close attention to the speed at which you are speaking as well as the pitch of your voice (nerves can often increase the speed we speak at and cause our voices to get higher). Make sure you sound professional, concise, and courteous. Smile when you speak; it can help add warmth and friendliness to your tone. Practice in front of a mirror if it helps, and don't be afraid to get animated and speak with your hands; ultimately, you want to act the same way you would if you were speaking to someone in person.
4. Delivery. Once you are at this point, all that's left to do is hop on your ship and leave the port!
Whether you're getting ready to set sail or make a sale, the most important steps you can take often happen before you even begin. Know what you want to achieve from your sales call, prepare for all situations and conversations, and ensure your delivery is done to the best of your abilities.
Alternately, if the idea of making sales calls yourself makes you seasick, you can always hire a dedicated, professional, and experienced company to perform them for you!

Q: Ensuring Correlation Between Groups of Variables Correlation is usually defined between 2 variables - for example, height and weight measurements in athletes might be correlated, or height and salary might also be correlated.
Suppose I want to simulate some data with 5 variables such that:

*

*Var 1, Var 3, Var 4 are positively correlated (e.g. Var 1 and Var 3 have  rho = 0.7, Var 3 and Var 4 have rho = 0.6, Var 4 and Var 1 have rho = 0.8)

*Var 1, Var 2, Var 5 are negatively correlated (correlations are specified similarly)

*Var 1, Var 4, Var 5 are negatively correlated

*Var 3 and Var 5 are positively correlated

*Var 1 and Var 3 are negatively correlated

*Var 2 and Var 4 are negatively correlated

The basic way I thought of doing this would be to simulate multivariate normal data and try to specify pairwise correlation between variables:
library(mvtnorm)

n <- 5
A <- matrix(runif(n^2)*2-1, ncol=n)
s <- t(A) %*% A

my_data = MASS::mvrnorm(100, mu = c(rnorm(5,10,1)), Sigma = s)
my_data = data.frame(my_data)

But if you look at the covariance matrix ("A" - I used a random covariance matrix just as a placeholder for this question):
         [,1]       [,2]       [,3]       [,4]       [,5]
[1,] -0.2414465 -0.9779279 -0.9006928 -0.3163802  0.2882145
[2,]  0.1239762  0.8126305  0.6423246  0.4627432 -0.4384996
[3,]  0.4654360  0.5413073  0.6586486  0.8145828  0.9152730
[4,]  0.7416111 -0.2349908  0.3094658  0.3923940 -0.6832081
[5,]  0.1443405 -0.8119082 -0.7343444 -0.5168416 -0.1633220

Its unclear to me how you can take all your "correlation requirements" and enter them into this covariance matrix such that all requirements are respected.
Suppose we knew how much correlation we wanted between these sets of variables - would there be some way to "ensure" that this list of correlation requirements would be respected and be visible in the actual simulated data?
Thanks!

Presentation for Contracted Providers Webinar
Manage-Monitor-Baselines
How the Provider Management Shared Services (PMSS) Initiative will improve our services to youth.
DJJ's primary goal is reducing juvenile delinquency in Florida, and the state has seen significant improvement. Unfortunately, despite the best efforts of law enforcement, parents, teachers and the many other stakeholders who are critical in helping at-risk youth, more than 75,000 youth entered Florida's juvenile justice system last year. The department is committed to ensuring that the youth in its care receive appropriate, quality services to give them the greatest chance at leading successful lives after they leave DJJ supervision.
While DJJ is responsible for the administration and operation of the juvenile justice system throughout the state, 65 percent of DJJ's services are delivered by more than 150 private providers with a budgeted expenditure of roughly $290 million annually. The department has comprehensive oversight procedures to ensure the youth are being appropriately served in environments that are most likely to aid in their rehabilitation, a responsibility that it takes very seriously.
DJJ recognizes that it can do more to ensure that the services it procures from these providers are directly aligned to outcomes to youth as well as facilitating sharing of best practices to deliver these outcomes between providers and DJJ staff. Undertaking system improvements to streamline provider management will lead to better services for our youth from these providers. In addition, these improvements will free up time and capacity for frontline program operational staff including those working directly with youth, who currently spend considerable time and effort on the management of these providers.
To increase efficiency, DJJ has embraced a more collaborative model known as shared services in which a team or group provides an agreed set of activities to one or more internal customers, usually across multiple locations, with oversight and regular review to ensure quality and timeliness.
For DJJ, this new structure will be organized in four different components, each representing a clearly defined part of provider-department interaction.
Component 1: Procure Services
Contracting has been a shared service for a while. The Bureau of Contracts serves all program areas and results have been promising. DJJ has already initiated some major changes, such as invitations to negotiate being the preferred contracting vehicle. With careful procurement planning and a clear-cut procurement strategy, DJJ has laid the foundation for efficient and strategic contracting.
Component 2: Manage Services
Managing a provider relationship can be similar across program area borders. It will be DJJ's goal to identify the processes suitable for a shared services organization. This will improve the department's management abilities in a variety of ways: for example, sharing know-how across program areas will increase the quality of our services to providers.
Component 3: Monitor Services
Improvements can be achieved by sharing best practices across program areas when it comes to monitoring providers' service delivery. Effectively monitoring and enforcing contracts is the only way for DJJ to make sure the youth in the department's care receive the best possible services. Sharing monitoring capabilities will lead to a more efficient performance measuring across all of the department's program areas. Providers will be assessed against fair and consistent benchmarks, increasing the department's transparency and uniformity of oversight processes.
Component 4: Manage Incidents
Managing incidents without delay is critical to achieving DJJ's mission. Standardized reporting structures, combined with a situational response capability, allow the department to efficiently and effectively respond to incidents. While reporting and data analytics can be included in a shared service, the actual incident response can more appropriately be handled by program operational staff.

A lot of people don't know what I'm about to tell you about allergies and how you might be able to get some relief.
So what does chiropractic care have to do with allergies?
Good question! Here's your answer.
Chiropractic care releases the pressure on the nervous system – allowing the immune system – to work more effectively.
Recent studies of psychoneuroimmunology have shown that the functioning of the nervous system is relevant to the function of the immune system.
So in other words, the better the nervous system works, the better the immune function is.
Chiropractic care is a hands-on approach to body alignment and health.
Regular chiropractic adjustments help remove subluxations (impingement of the nerves in your body), and is a term that refers to vertebra/bones that are out of alignment, causing stress on the nervous system. STRESS = HEALTH PROBLEMS!
Chiropractic care realigns the spine and allows the body to heal itself, which is always does and always will do.
The body's ability to heal itself is restored through the central nervous system and the re-connections that it brings to the rest of the body.
Regular chiropractic adjustments allow your body to function properly.
They also help the body's immune system to function properly.
If you have allergic reactions to a substance, you may benefit from regular chiropractic care.
A healthy body is capable of neutralizing toxic substances in your system.
Chiropractic care is the most holistic approach to allergy treatment, allowing your body to do what it was built to do.

Have Emerged as 'Tested Pure Gold,' Says Jayalalithaa, Acquitted in Corruption Case
HomeHave Emerged as 'Tested Pure Gold,' Says Jayalalithaa, Acquitted in Corruption Case
This Article is From May 11, 2015
Reported by Maya Sharma, Edited by Abhinav BhattUpdated: May 11, 2015 8:38 pm IST
Supporters of AIADMK chief J Jayalalithaa celebrate her acquittal in a corruption case (Press Trust of India)
Bengaluru: J Jayalalithaa, the former Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, has been acquitted in a corruption case that had led to her being jailed and can now return to office. O Panneerselvam, who was installed as her replacement, is expected to resign soon, said sources.
Here are the 10 latest developments in this big story:
Ms Jayalalithaa is likely to be sworn in as Tamil Nadu chief minister on Sunday, May 17, an auspicious date according to sources in her party, the AIADMK.
"I am immensely satisfied with the verdict... Verdict paved way for me to emerge like tested pure gold," said Ms Jayalalithaa. The 67-year-old was found not guilty in a nearly two-decades-old case of corruption by the Karnataka High Court today. She had been convicted last year by a Bangalore court.
The trial was held in Karnataka to ensure it was not influenced by the considerable clout her party, the AIADMK, has in Tamil Nadu.
According to some reports, the judge today declared her not guilty within 10 seconds. Three others who had been convicted along with her, including close aide Sasikala Natarajan, have also been acquitted.
In September, a Bangalore judge found Ms Jayalalithaa guilty, during her first term as Chief Minister in the 90s, of disproportionately massing assets worth Rs. 54 crore outside her known sources of income. He sentenced her to four years in jail, and fined her Rs. 100 crore. She was granted bail by the Supreme Court after spending three weeks in jail.
That verdict meant that she was disqualified as an elected representative and obliged to step down as Chief Minister. Today's acquittal paves the way for her return to office, but she will have to contest elections within six months.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi called Ms Jayalalithaa this afternoon to congratulate her on her acquittal. Foreign Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj and NCP chief Sharad Pawar also spoke to her.
Fireworks and celebrations filled the air outside the former Chief Minister's home in Chennai, where top AIADMK leaders showed up within minutes of the verdict being announced. They included O Panneerselvam, the loyalist picked by Ms Jayalalithaa as her replacement, who has refused to use her office, and made it clear that he considers himself a seat-warmer.
The case against her had been filed by Subramanian Swamy, a leader of the BJP, who has indicated he will appeal against her acquittal in the Supreme Court.
In the 2011 state elections, Ms Jayalalithaa decimated the DMK to win a third term as chief minister. In the national elections last May, her party won 37 of Tamil Nadu's 39 seats. The DMK got none.
