The Story of Ike Nwala, the Nigerian Who Ditched Computer Engineering to Become Japan's Most Sought-after Comedian

Ike Nwala, a Nigerian-American is taking over the Japanese comedy industry by storm. An all-rounder, the 33-year-old has become an exceptional success in the Asian country believed to be one of the most homogenous nations in the world.
Just about every day on TV, the Nigerian-American has broken the race ceiling in Japan, reaching an outré celebrity status.
Born on June 5, 1986, in Manhattan, New York and raised in Seattle, Washington, Nwala's journey to being one of the sought-after comedians in Japan was accidental.
Nwala has always wanted to pursue a career in computer science. He taught himself programming while in elementary school and continued taking lessons in college.

But when he stumbled upon a skit by Junji Takada in Japanese video rental, Nwala's suppressed desire to be a comedian awoken from wherever it was.
He got immediately hooked and fixated.

"I thought, 'Is this guy on drugs?''' he told Vice in 2017. "I loved it."
Vice reported that Nwala asked the man manning the rental if he could rent the Junji skit DVD and related DVDs. Nwala was handed the discs.
Nwala had no contact with Japanese prior to his stomping on the Japanese ski screening at the rentals. He didn't even know the language spoken on the disc was Japanese.

However, his interest was awoken by something in the style and presentation of the comedy, triggering his pursuance of a similar career away from computer science.
"I went from saying 'Wow, this is funny' to 'Wow, I want to do this,'" Nwala said in the 2017 chat with Vice. But first, he had to get to Japan. So, he secured a job at Goldman Sachs in Tokyo, working as a computer engineer.
"And the whole time I was watching comedy DVDs nonstop, teaching myself Japanese, and working on my material," he said.
Nwala grabbed a job with a comedy troupe as its non-Japanese member while at Goldman Sachs. And appearance on a popular TV show mimicking the announcer at the Tokyo Disney Sea resort launched his career. A video clip went viral, and before long he was answering calls from shows that wanted him as a guest.
Ike Nwala is a black american and im glad he seems to not be directed how japanese directors usually direct american actors, which is, to look and sound like loud assholes who can't speak japanese, even if the actor can pic.twitter.com/9Z3NUUIl8M

For clarity sake, Nwala wasn't the first black person for lack of a better word to become a celebrity in Japan. Bobby Ologun, a Nigerian, is said to be one of the ubiquitous black people in recent years in Japan.
Ologun's on-screen character was said to be that of a stereotypical minstrel buffoon. He played opposite a white comedian in a popular skit series, in which he was being given orders, and Bobby would sprawl around speaking in a low, stupid voice and generally acting like an overgrown child. Basically, a Stepin Fetchit character adapted for Japanese TV, Vice would put it.
Conscious of his public persona, Nwala also takes on more serious roles, like teaching English to Japanese celebrities or chiming in on daytime news commentary panels.
When asked by Vice if he feels any responsibility to be a positive black figure on Japanese TV, he said: "I don't see it as a responsibility."
"I see it as an opportunity. That's all I see, just opportunities. It's one of my goals, just opening their eyes, you know? Showing that not all black people are the same. Me coming out of doing technology, I think that helps."
According to him, his role on "Oha Suta" is the most important of all the work he does.
"I think me being on the children's show every day is huge," he said. "The children now who are growing up to be adults, they already have the image of different people, you know?"
He said if he ever stopped doing comedy in Japan and went back to US "I'd probably just get back into tech."
"I'm not funny in English."

Getting a flu vaccination is the best way to help protect yourself, and everyone around you, from getting the most common types of the flu virus.
The flu vaccine is updated annually to protect you from the virus strains expected this flu season, which may change from flu season to flu season. Because the common flu strains may change, it is important to be vaccinated each year in order to be protected from the current flu strains.
You can get a flu vaccination at most Allina Health clinics any time throughout the influenza season, which typically lasts from October through May. We offer an injectable influenza vaccine for those six months of age and older, a nasal influenza vaccine for those ages two - 49 years of age, an egg free influenza vaccine for those 18 years of age and older and a senior influenza vaccine for those 65 years of age and older.
You can get a flu shot as part of an appointment with your provider, or you can come to a clinic for a shot only.
After receiving the shot, your body needs two weeks to develop antibodies against the viruses. This means you can become sick with the flu before protection from the vaccine starts.
You should consult with your provider before getting a flu shot if you have had a bad flu shot reaction, are currently ill (with or without a fever) or have a history of Guillain-Barre syndrome.
All flu vaccinations given by Allina Health are pre-filled, latex free and contain no preservatives.
The flu vaccine will not protect you against the swine flu.
There are 66 locations that provide this care.


Once I started typing up revised chapter one, it took longer than expected. Ideas and epiphanies, hubby putting in his two cents worth, more changes until I decided it was time to move forward. I can always go back and do another pass. Currently on chapter two, going back and forth with the characters and myself about which clues to drop now or hold on for later. How much detail do I go into. I don't want to dump any backstory, so dribbling it out bit by bit. How else will anyone know what is going on in the heads of my main characters.
I can see now why some writers do several passes, looking at dialogue, senses, description, and setting. Each time I reread, more of the picture pops out. Like painting a picture, going with broad brush strokes, working with light and shadow, putting in the fine details, dabbing bits here and there. The vision in my head doesn't always match what comes out on paper. But that isn't a bad thing.
So posting is going to be a bit sporadic. I'll try to put up something at least once a week. I still have book reviews to do. I finished A Soldier of the Great War by Mark Helprin which was simply amazing. I'm enjoying delving into historical fiction more so than detective stories these days. At least they don't compete with the story in my head.


Next Post: Can you help find Faith?
I like this a lot….nice post. It never hurts to think about ways to be kind.
Reblogged this on Africa's Orphans.
Do you have a link for the school blog?
Here's the link for my school blog…unfortunately, I haven't updated it all year so far 😦 Thanks for your permission my friend!!
Sometimes we are just so ~busy~ we forget that 'simple acts of kindness' can go a great distance in uplifting the spirits of another human being. Thanks for these great suggestions.
With all the intense emotions, busyness and disruptions to our normal schedules, the holidays are a time when we are both more aware of the love and gratitude we have for our lives AND a time when all the demands on our time and energy can leave us crankier and more self-involved than usual. Which is why I find this post so timely. I find practicing simple acts of kindness like the ones of this list inevitably bring me more joy and immediately brings me back to the present moment. No matter what is going on in my day, taking a moment to smile genuinely at a stranger or to really listen to a friend reminds me of our connection to each other as human beings and puts the material demands of life into perspective.
I like this. There are so many ways to be kind that doesn't cost us money or much time. Thanks for the reminders.
Reblogging on @RandomActsofWarmth! Love this!
Hey 🙂 Thanks for sharing!

This is a great list, if most people only practiced 10% the world would be a better place.
Mike–Thank you for this! What a great "menu" to keep in mind. I reblogged this on my blog, luluopolis.wordpress.com.
so very inspiring! already put paying forward, talking and checking with a homeless what s/he needs and actually acting on generosity impulses on my to-do-list!


Factors such as rising incidences of chronic disorders, growing demand for non-invasive and nonionizing diagnostic modalities, and an introduction of new and advanced technologies in the field of diagnostics and imaging would fuel the growth of the biophotonics market. However, a restrained rate of commercialization acts a hindrance to the market growth.
The application areas of the technology are too vast and that is another challenge for the market growth. The rate of adoption of biophotonics is relatively slow due to price sensitivity, low acceptance from end users, and concerns related to qthe uality, authenticity, and reliability of the products. Use of nanotechnology in the healthcare sector has led to sensing human cells and tissues. The use of biophotonics in treating cancer has been significant, as it helps in connecting with the directly affected cells and improves the process of curing. With the introduction of more and more advanced healthcare devices, the growth in the biophotonics market would be witnessed during the forecast period.

About Metta World Peace
Although his rap career is fairly low-key, Metta World Peace (formerly Ron Artest) is one of the most recognizable professional basketball players in the league, having been so for years, not only for his size and skill (and that infamous elbow), but for his lifestyle outside the game as well, which he airs out via social media on the regular in predominantly comedic fashion. As far as music goes, the last we heard of him was the August 2013 cut "Peace", which was produced by Lucky. Otherwise, he rode the subway to his first game with the Knicks in October 2013, and engaged in a particularly bizarre Twitter "rant" in January 2014. Stay tuned for the further adventures of Metta World Peace, y'all.

The Invention of Reality
An Interview with Les Levine
Robert Enright · Interviews · Issue 142 · May 2017
Les Levine's first encounter with art was in the studio of the Irish painter Jack Yeats. He was eight years old and knew nothing about art or artists but what he recognized, and could not yet express, was that art was different from anything he had ever seen. On the wall was a huge painting of white horses running from the sea towards land, and his recollection is that he came away understanding that it was made and not real. "I thought to myself at the time, 'This is not something that exists in reality. This is something he is inventing.'" That first studio visit was determining; Levine never lost sight of the fact that making art was not a procedure in which reality was copied but one in which it was invented. And when you invent a world, you need something out of which to invent it.
Levine became a pragmatic materialist. His approach to making art was to see it before it was made. "I have this idea and what it should look like," he says in the following interview. "How can I make it look like that? What material should I use?" For over fifty years, he has followed the lead of that practical and functional line of questioning.

When he wanted his art to be accessible, then he moulded plastic in various colours and produced what he called Disposables, objects the owners could organize or discard as they saw fit; when he wanted to make a public sculpture that was almost invisible and through which viewers became the activating agents, as he did in Mini Star, then he heated acrylite sheets shaped with air jets and fashioned transparent domes; when he wanted to get his message across the way advertisers did, he rented hundreds of hoardings in a large European city and proceeded to sell his idea of art in the commercial marketplace alongside automobiles, alcohol and fast food.
Levine emigrated to Canada in 1957 and settled in Toronto. He says that growing up in Ireland, where his parents' mixed marriage was problematic (his father was Jewish and his mother Catholic), put him "on the defensive." By the time his first exhibition opened at the Mirvish Gallery in 1964 he was, aesthetically speaking, on the offensive. The show included an untitled silver-painted canvas from 1963, the knots and twists of which create a surface tension that would have pleased Lucio Fontana, as well as a group of free-standing sculptures that stretched canvas over a collection of broken and abused wooden chairs before the surface was covered with metallic paint. The resulting works, with their visible knobs and rude protuberances, were both disconcerting and awkwardly beautiful. The poster announcing the Mirvish exhibition showed the artist reclining on a coffin shape. The message was inescapable: Les Levine was proclaiming the death of one kind of art and the arrival of another. From that moment on, the Dublin-born, American artist would continue to make art that resisted and extended known categories and conventions.
Take, media campaign, 1989, Dortmund. Courtesy of the artist.
In a video made in 1986 called Close Frenzies, Levine used a mirror to distort the faces of a number of people he asked to talk about the subject of friendship. Their facial features are rearranged in such a way that they assume a slightly Picassoid facturing. It's as if he were inventing a kind of cubist video. The visual echo is an acknowledgement of an artist Levine admired for his changeability. "Just when you think you know what I'm doing," he said as if inhabiting Pablo's character, "I'm moving to something else." Levine's motivation had less to do with how viewers might react to what they were seeing than with his own artistic inclination. In comparing his way of working with the approach most artists took towards their art, Levine was quick to emphasize his restlessness: "I would complete something and then move on to the next thing."
At 81 years of age he is still moving. He continues to conduct seminar/performances under the rubric of the Museum of Mott Art, Inc., the conceptual art museum he established in 1970 as a way of both archiving and disseminating his ideas about art and its reception.
Curator Sarah Robayo Sheridan has done an exemplary job in curating "Transmedia," an exhibition that concentrates on his first explosive decade of production. What this delightfully revelatory exhibition makes obvious is the need to use that first 10 years as the point of departure to move through his equally remarkable activity over the next half century. Les Levine may be the most inventive, unacknowledged artist of his generation. His reputation is in no way commensurate with his achievement. He always moved too fast: now there is an opportunity for time to catch up to him.
"Transmedia" was on exhibition at the Oakville Galleries from January 22 to March 12, 2017, and will travel to the Agnes Etherington Art Centre in Kingston from April 28 to August 6, 2017.
Border Crossings: You were born in Dublin in 1935. Did art play a role in your growing up
Les Levine: Not really, but my uncle, Victor Waddington, was a well-known art dealer. He was the dealer for Jack Yeats and Sean Keating and a few other Irish artists, and he later went to London and became very successful. That was the only interaction I had with art. There were no art books in the house and no art books anywhere that I could see. My sister, June Levine, was a celebrated Irish journalist, novelist and feminist, and she was the only one who encouraged me. Everybody else thought that being an artist was going to be terrible and that I'd never be able to earn a living.
You were eight years old when your uncle took you to meet Jack Yeats. Do you remember what that encounter was like and did it have any effect on you?
It did because I had no idea what art or what an artist was. I never really knew what my Uncle Victor did. He was babysitting when he took me and my cousin to Jack Yeats's studio, and there was a painting that took up practically a whole wall. It was a painting of the sea, and there were three white horses running directly towards the viewer to land. I thought to myself at the time, "This is not something that exists in reality, it's something he is inventing." I remember that painting vividly. After that, my uncle would take me back to Yeats's studio from time to time and I got to know him a bit. But I had no thought of becoming an artist then. I always thought I would be in the design world.
William Butler Yeats was involved in the revival of Irish culture called the Celtic Renaissance. Was that part of your consciousness?
I was certainly aware of it but not from WB Yeats. I had a Fáinne as a child, which is a gold or silver circle you wear on your lapel that tells other people that you can speak Gaelic. Gold meant you were an expert; silver, that you were conversant. Mine was silver. So people in my family were always coming to me and asking, "What does this mean?" I was the in-house translator. What happened was that Padric Pearce decided to reintroduce Gaelic into the schools and math was taught in Gaelic. So you had to learn Gaelic if you wanted to pass math. It was a strange, odd time in the history of Ireland. This idea of being Irish happened around the time I was becoming a teenager. The whole concept was to become very Irish, so people started giving their kids names like Liam and Kiernan and Siobhan and Padric instead of Patrick. All of a sudden, everybody had a Gaelic name.
You've talked about a residue of anger you had coming out of Ireland, referring to your work as a form of intellectual anger.
Don't forget I was born in 1935 and by the time the war came about I was five years old. My father was Jewish and my mother was Catholic and they had broken the one taboo that never should be broken in Ireland. It's hard for people in North America to understand the gravity of that, but they were ostracized by everybody and so were we. The Catholics weren't happy with us and neither were the Jews. We weren't Irish Catholic, so what were we? Growing up in Ireland under those circumstances certainly would lead you to be on the defensive at all times. My early work was definitely a rebellion against the status quo. When I went to the Central School of Arts and Crafts, I didn't study art at all and went into the design field instead. Somehow or other the idea of people saying what art is went very much against the grain with me. Most of my early work was seen as either some kind of put-on or work made by an enfant terrible. There was this feeling that I was trying to shock people. Nothing could be further from the truth. One of the reasons why I left Canada was that everyone was expecting me to shock them and it became impossible for me to think of my work outside of that expectation.

Organization posts names of men involved in cases in London diocese
Starting at the age of 10, Miriam MacCormack says she was sexually abused by a Catholic priest for two years.
After five decades of struggle — including suicide attempts — MacCormack will see her abuser's name made public. But not by the southwestern Ontario diocese of London, where the abuse occurred.
MacCormack's abuser, Father Ron Reeves, now dead, is among the names of 36 accused clergy compiled and published by a group of sexual abuse survivors.
MacCormack said the list is important as validation of what happened to her.
"If you sit down and you look at the list, it's hard to deny that this has happened."
The list includes names of priests in the London diocese who were charged, convicted or linked to victims that made allegations and successfully sued or settled with the church for amounts of more than $50,000 — and only those who preyed on minors.
Most of the priests named on the list are dead.
The list includes a number of high-profile cases that have been in the public domain for years, but also the names of priests for whom the church settled lawsuits brought by victims.
In some cases, the allegations were never tested in court. In other cases, victims signed non-disclosure agreements, preventing the details from being made public.
"To see all these names compiled in one list, it's overwhelming … and this is by the way an incomplete list. This is only the names that we were able to gather," said Brenda Brunelle of Windsor, who is leading the campaign.
Brunelle composed the list along with the help of other clergy abuse survivors and lawyers.
"This is stuff that the public at large has no idea of. It's ... upsetting. It's a hard read. And not knowing to what extent what this list really should be is alarming," said Brunelle.
The list was posted Dec. 4 on the website of the group Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests (SNAP). Brunelle, 56, leads the southwestern Ontario chapter of the international organization.
Brunelle, an abuse survivor herself from the age of 12, has been increasing the pressure on London Bishop Ronald Fabbro to make public any list the church has of clergy who have been accused of sexual abuse.
On Nov. 20, Brunelle sent Fabbro a letter, but when she didn't receive a response, she decided to take matters into her own hands, compiling information from media reports, court filings and first-hand survivor accounts.
Brunelle believes her list is accurate, but not complete.
"If we were able to come up with 36 names, imagine what Bishop Fabbro has in his files, and the numbers that he has," said Brunelle. "It's important to hold this institution accountable."
Brunelle reported her allegations to the religious order her abuser belonged to. She says nothing happened as a result. So, in 2009, she took legal action against the London diocese and ended up settling the case three years later.
In releasing the list, she said she is looking not only to validate survivors' stories but also to hold the church accountable for what it knew about abuse by clergy and what action it did or did not take.
"There's an accountability here, there's a transparency and if you want to rebuild the trust or regain respect in that institution, they need to do something," said Brunelle.
"I hope the citizens of this country say enough is enough and we demand action and we want it now."
The Fifth Estate requested an interview with Fabbro to discuss the list, but he declined.
The London diocese did provide a statement saying it wasn't able to comment on a list it hadn't seen.
"As part of a commitment to supporting survivors and allowing them to determine whether or not to reveal information about their experiences, we have waived confidentiality requirements from all settlement agreements in our diocese," said the statement emailed on Tuesday.
"That way, those who wish to tell their stories may do so and those that worry about being inadvertently identified, despite their wishes, can choose to remain protected by confidentiality."
The diocese also said it works with survivors to respond to their individual needs.
The London diocese is one of Canada's 60 Latin Rite archdioceses and dioceses. It has jurisdiction over London, Sarnia, Chatham-Kent, Windsor and smaller communities in between.
The sexual abuse scandal has garnered attention in this diocese in particular because of high-profile criminal cases and allegations of abuse reported in the media.
The list is a snapshot of 50 to 60 years of allegations that priests abused children and then moved around after credible accusations emerged.
One of the most publicized cases was that of Father Charles Sylvestre. In 2006, he pleaded guilty to 47 counts of indecent assault for the abuse of girls and was sentenced to three years in prison. The abuse took place between 1952 and 1989 in Hamilton, Windsor, London, Sarnia, Chatham and Pain Court, a village in Chatham-Kent. More than 78 civil lawsuits have been filed in relation to Sylvestre.
Another well-known name to make the list is that of Father Hodgson Marshall. In 2011 and 2012, he was convicted of numerous counts of indecent assault, gross indecency and sexual assault involving 16 boys and one girl. He received a two-year prison sentence. The abuse took place between 1952 and 1985 in Windsor, Toronto, Sudbury, Saskatoon and Sault Ste. Marie.
But not all victims went to the police.
MacCormack said her abuse first took place at Our Lady of Sorrows parish in Aylmer, Ont., in 1969. She believes she was just one of Reeves's victims because he told her what he had done to others.
"There was this kind of salacious glee about what he did to other girls and also the assumption that this is really what they wanted and he was just giving them what they wanted. And I remember literally the shivers in my body when he would describe it," said MacCormack.
None of the allegations against Reeves were tested in court because a $260,000 settlement was reached between the parties.
Reeves was a Roman Catholic priest and was employed by the London diocese and the Scarboro Foreign Mission Society, a non-profit corporation that recruited, trained and sent missionary priests throughout the world.
Reeves worked in the missions in Western Canada and overseas. In 1957, he was accepted into the Victoria diocese on a three-year trial basis before he was formally accepted as a priest in 1961.
MacCormack, 60, now lives in Stratford, Ont., and has never shared her story publicly until now.
"The long-term keeping of a secret still feels like a muscle that needs to be exercised and it certainly makes me feel vulnerable," she said.
"Having experienced conversations with other survivors, it certainly inspired me to recognize that me speaking out may allow someone else to begin their healing process."
MacCormack blames the abuse for a lifetime of mental health issues, including several suicide attempts.
"They were well-planned, well-executed and miraculously survived."
She's also hoping publication of the list creates an opportunity for survivors and the church to work together.
"Ironically it's these survivors I think who can perhaps guide the church out of this morass of denial. In a sense we could be allies as opposed to adversaries."
The London list comes on the heels of an internal review of clergy sexual abuse cases commissioned by Vancouver Archbishop Michael Miller in 2018.
As The Fifth Estate reported last month, that review documented 36 cases of clergy abuse in the Vancouver archdiocese, 26 involving children. But of those 36 cases, only nine were made public in the archbishop's report.
Nevertheless to date Vancouver remains the only Catholic entity in Canada to make this kind of information public.
Rob Talach, a lawyer in London, Ont., who has taken the Catholic Church to court more than 400 times for sex-related abuses, said the church should be held to the same level of accountability as other institutions and professions.
"Look, other important professions, doctors, teachers, a lot of the regulated professions, you can go on the internet right now and you can type in your doctor's name and you can see their discipline history," said Talach.
"The Roman Catholic Church and their priests are really a rare exception to that rule. So this isn't something that's Catholic-centric or picking on the priests. This is just getting that institution caught up with the times."
He also represented MacCormack in her lawsuit against the church.
He believes making lists public helps victims. But the onus shouldn't be on survivors to do that, he said, but on the church.
"The names and the details are going to get out there one way or another. So they can ... take the high ground and do the right thing or they can be dragged along screaming and kicking."

Q: Content wrap is not covering entire area of div I have the following content wraps setup..

gnjfikgnfik

.page_background {

width: 100%;
    min-height: 100%;
    background: -webkit-linear-gradient(#282828, #888888); /* For Safari 5.1 to 6.0 */
    background: -o-linear-gradient(#282828, #888888); /* For Opera 11.1 to 12.0 */
    background: -moz-linear-gradient(#282828, #888888); /* For Firefox 3.6 to 15 */
    background: linear-gradient(#282828, #888888); /* Standard syntax */
}
.page {
    background-color: #FFFFFF;
    width: 85%;
    min-height: 100%;
    bottom: 0;
}

For some reason my .page div doesn't cover the entire page. I have both closing divs in the correct spot. I thought min-height: 100%; ensured that it would over the entire height of the page? I have also tried bottom: 0; and still nothing. How can I correct this?

A: min-height needs the enclosing box's height to be specified explicitly.
min-height documentation from MDN:

Percentages: The percentage is calculated with respect to the height of the generated box's containing block. If the height of the containing block is not specified explicitly (i.e., it depends on content height), and this element is not absolutely positioned, the percentage value is treated as 0.

Solution: use position: absolute to position your page element and then use height: 100% to make it span the complete page.
.page_background {
  width: 100%;
  position: absolute;
  height: 100%;
  ....
}
.page {
  position:absolute;
  width: 85%;
  height: 100%;
  ...
}

See Fiddle

A: add "position: absolute" inside page_background
.page_background {
    position:absolute;
    width: 100%;
    min-height: 100%;
    background: -webkit-linear-gradient(#282828, #888888); /* For Safari 5.1 to 6.0 */
    background: -o-linear-gradient(#282828, #888888); /* For Opera 11.1 to 12.0 */
    background: -moz-linear-gradient(#282828, #888888); /* For Firefox 3.6 to 15 */
    background: linear-gradient(#282828, #888888); /* Standard syntax */
}

A: Height in percentage requires that the height of the element's parent will be declared explicitly - for example parent height: 500px or height: 50%. Because you want it to be 100% of the screen view, you have to set all the parents from your element to html (including), so set both html and body to height 100%:
html, body {
height: 100%;
}

If you're targeting new browsers, you can use height: 100vh on the element. 1vh is 1% of viewport. In this this case you don't have to set the parents as 100vh is in relation to the viewport, and not the parent.

Daisley's Sports Drive
Gal Knows Game
Conference Championships Galore
It's the last weekend for teams to prove to the College Football Playoff committee that they deserve to be in the Top 4. For those that don't have a chance at a playoff spot, it's time to play spoiler. Let's look at the conference championship games this weekend, including the two that happened last night:
MAC Championship – Northern Illinois vs. Buffalo (Friday, Nov. 30)
This game came down to the wire. NIU quarterback threw a touchdown pass to wide receiver DJ Brown with 1:09 left to go to take the lead and overcome a 20-point deficit. Buffalo failed to convert a 4th and 10 on the following drive, and NIU happily took a knee to run out the clock.
Final: NIU 30 BUFF 29
Pac-12 Championship – #17 Utah vs. #11 Washington (Friday, Nov. 30)
Each offense only scored three points. The deciding factor was an interception returned for a touchdown by Washington's Byron Murphy. Utah's Jason Shelley's pass hit Siaosi Mariner in the hands, but he couldn't hold onto the ball and it bounced up into the air right into Murphy's hands.
Final: Washington 10 Utah 3
Big 12 Championship – #14 Texas vs. #5 Oklahoma (Today, Dec. 1, 12pm)
The first Red River Rivalry this year was a shootout, and Texas took home the win 48 to 45. Like any Big 12 game, there was a lot of offense and very little defense, but the difference in the game was the three turnovers by Oklahoma. Kyler Murray had two of those turnovers. If the Sooners play of avenge their only loss this season and hope to have a chance to play in the playoffs, they have to hold onto the ball and not make dumb mistakes. It is also Murray's last chance to earn his spot in New York for the Heisman Trophy ceremony. We know Sam Ehlinger and the rest of Texas' offense will show up, but whose defense will make that one game-changing play?
AAC Championship – Memphis vs. #8 UCF (Today, Dec. 1, 3:30pm)
Memphis gave UCF a real scare when they faced each other in October. UCF won that game 31 to 30 because one of the best quarterbacks in the country, McKenzie Milton, ran in for a touchdown in the fourth quarter. It's going to be a different story this time. Milton suffered a season-ending, and possibly career-ending, knee injury in last week's game against USF. The Golden Knights took the ball out of freshman Darriel Mack Jr.'s hands and ran for 391 yards. Memphis has a real shot to pull the upset if they can stop the running game.
SEC Championship – #1 Alabama vs. #4 Georgia (Today, Dec. 1, 4pm)
What could be the best game of the day is a rematch of last year's National Championship Game and has the biggest playoff implications. If Bama wins, they secure the #1 spot, and Georgia falls out. If Georgia wins, they could be #2 or 3, and it is uncertain where Bama falls. This will be the biggest challenge for Alabama. It could be a struggle after what they've shown the last few weeks. I doubt many thought that they would be tied with The Citadel at halftime. Georgia's defense was stronger last season, with players like linebacker Roquan Smith, and they couldn't stop Tua's attack in the championship. Saban will continue to stay undefeated against his former assistants if the the Tide team that played LSU shows up today.
ACC Championship – #2 Clemson vs. Pitt (Today, Dec. 1, 8pm)
I could throw a punch of stats at you, but I think the most intriguing one is that Pitt has never lost to Clemson. Pitt went into Clemson and upset the #2 team in the country in 2016 and look to do it again. The Tigers are taking the Panthers seriously this time. Pitt relies on its ability to run the ball, but they'll have to find another way because the Tigers' defense allows less than 85 rushing yards a game. Clemson also knows that if they win by the projected amount (27.5 points) and Bama loses, they'll move up to #1.
Big Ten Championship – #21 Northwestern vs. #6 Ohio State (Today, Dec. 1, 8pm)
Everything last week looked like the Michigan Wolverines were going to be the Big Ten East team in this game until the Buckeyes took over The Game in the second half and embarrassed Michigan. Now, with a convincing win, Ohio State has a chance to slip into the #4 seed. They may have struggled against lower-ranked teams, but Northwestern has lost to Duke and Akron. With that being said, Pat Fitzgerald's defense has been able to stop some really good offenses over the last few seasons. Ohio State's Dwayne "Screen Pass" Haskins struggles when pressured. I believe this game will either be closer than the 14.5 points that the Buckeyes are favored by.

Q: How to connect to SQL Server with a different windows account I have a C# windows application from which I need to connect to a SQL Server database and access the tables, with a different windows account.(Other than the logged in account)
What is the best approach for this.

A: Most commonly for SQL Server, I would use integrated security, so a connection string like this:
var connectionString = string.Format("Data Source={0};Initial Catalog={1};Integrated Security=SSPI;", hostName, databaseName);

If you need to connect as a different user, which you're not logged in as, then you need to specify the username / password combination in the connection string, like this:
var connectionString = string.Format("Data Source={0};Initial Catalog={1};User ID={2};Password={3};", hostName, databaseName, anotherUsername, anotherPassword);


Our client is a major real-estate consulting firm, subsidiary of one of the largest banking group in France. Once protected from disruption by norms and standards, the company decided to put digital transformation on top of its strategic agenda, to proactively secure its leadership on a growingly technological market. As any historical establishment, our client's organisation has inherited IT legacy from several mergers and acquisitions and decades-long practices and mindset. It needed a key partner to gain forward momentum, and deliver value fast and efficiently.
The approach was to focus on two major value streams : boosting internal performance with new tools and processes, and extend their existing offer with new data-intensive services. As both streams required to set-up systems, we had to implement first a new infrastructure that would serve the requirements of both value streams, that would become the core enabler of a firm-wide innovation platform.
We faced two major challenges to enable both value streams : delivering (really) fast to catch up the market, and optimising costs as much as possible in a context of fixed investment capacities. At the same time, the data-oriented architecture to be set-up would become a strategic asset in the long run. It was therefore an absolute necessity that our client - though not a tech expert - understand the key issues at stake, and own the solution. We deployed a very pragmatic and pedagogical approach to design the solution.
The main output of this intensive week, apart from client's training, was a detailed functional scope for the architecture and main directions regarding its operating model.
A special focus was also made on the choice of a mapping solution, as the rendering of data on a fancy map was a key success factor for our applications' roll-out.
The outpout of this Proof of Concept was a documented technical recommendation (specific to our client's context) and associated costs scenarios.
We capitalised on the Proof of Concept to deploy the target solution, with a parallel scrum to other projects'. Data sources and associated processes are now prioritised based on their added value to both value streams. Devops, back-end developers and data engineers work hand-in-hand to ensure the data is there in the right format to serve other projects' needs. Each sprint review serves as a training for our client, getting used to such an innovative and technical environment. They even started to explore themselves the data directly through the platform. Full transparency and pricing elasticity helped us reach a new level in our mutual confidence and deepened the nature of our partnership.
Our client's first objective was to transform its operations. Real Estate consultancy is an expert business. As for many businesses of the kind, the value resides in people expertise and know-how, knowledge and processes being especially tacit.
Such practices have downsides. For experts, it implies to spend a lot of time re-inventing the wheel all the time, looking for data more or less to be trusted, and not capitalizing on the work of each other. It's also a marketing and brand image issue, when competition is more and more equipped with fancy tools and services. For the organisation, it's a real challenge in terms of knowledge management and adaptability.
Teams needed a new tool and practices to be more efficient and maintain the company market leadership in a moving environment. Given the transformational dimension of the project, we deployed a user-centric methodology to make sure 1/ businesses are involved in the project from its initialising phase and 2/ the tool really delivers value to its users from its very first release.
Our client was not necessarily used to such methodologies. Some showed sceptical first, but thanks to creative techniques, leadership support and systematic follow-up, even the most reluctant finally contributed in a most constructive way.
One key challenge is often to know where to start. Designing a Minimal Viable (and likable) Product is a real challenge, as it has to bring value to users in its very early stages, and generate excitement for future versions rather than disappointment. Pretty easy on paper, but projects often have constraints. Time was our main constraint… The MVP had to be delivered within 6 months - including conception. We therefore conducted feature mapping workshops with our client to force prioritisation, and poker planning with the production team to evaluate every feature. At the cross-roads between the two lied our MVP, basically maximising value on key features while maintaining the delivery deadline.
Our client's strategic ambition was not only to leverage the data to transform its operations, it also encompassed building a new line of services completing its existing offer. From a very traditional business, the vision was to become a key player in the real-estate tech business. Such transformations don't happen overnight.
We helped the management team to define the value proposition of such new services, especially iterating over a Business Model Canvas. A cycle of workshops were conducted, and assumptions systematically challenged during future clients' interviews.
After several pivot, we formalised two main value propositions, detailed in problem specification blueprints for data scientists to work on.
Developing efficient machine-learned algorithms requires data. Organisations always sit on various sources of (more or less easily) available data. But often, it's in the use of several sources from different owners that brings the best opportunities.
To develop our algorithms we needed more data than immediately available. We needed partners. To get partners, we needed something to be used for bartering. Chicken-and-egg situation. We decided to start by fast prototyping our target algorithms with the data we could get acess to, and build a prototype UI to make anyone try it. This helped us showcase our use case to future data providing partners (being honest about current performances), thanks to whom we could make our service more reliable. This approach was completely new to our client, more in a "build, then pitch" scheme than "fake it until you make it" mindset.
A key challenge we faced is that we needed experts' feedback and knowledge to improve the algorithms. But how to engage businesses in such tech-intensive matters?
The first solution was to use the prototype developed to get feedback from business people following a testing plan. Then, every two weeks, a dashboard of algorithms' performance was displayed to a focus group to gather insights from why it'd perform in certain areas, and what could explain its pitfalls. This fueled a feature engineering backlog for future sprints. Finally, a trick we used was to give access to the algorithm output directly through the business application developed in the first project, and add some gamification features to encourage experts to systematically use the algorithm and assess its performance.
Involving business experts in iterations over algorithms was definitely a major source of performance gain. It also served as a change management tool, making business people get acquainted to the intelligent system up to making it their own.
a new digital tool available to all business lines to search and get acess to data (internal, partners', web, open data), with the promise of driving significant improvement in operations' efficiency.
a new data-intensive service available to our client's customers through API, soon to be commercialised as a white label service for both B2C and B2B users.
a data-oriented architecture collecting, processing data from always more sources and external providers, and exposing them in a cloud.
