MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA - Media OutReach - 12 February 2019 - Australian businesses can now use artificial intelligence (AI) to accelerate and help reduce bias in recruitment processes, thanks to a partnership between leading Talent Management Software-as-a-Service provider PageUp and machine learning startup PredictiveHire.
As part of the partnership, joint clients can use PredictiveHire's AI technology to conduct the first level of screening for job applications. The addition of PredictiveHire's AI technology to PageUp's recruitment solution will allow for faster, more objective hiring decisions based on data and trends drawn from historically high-performers.
PredictiveHire leverages an organisation's performance data and staff surveys to determine, with 88% accuracy, the traits which are inherent in its high performers. This data is turned into a candidate survey that allows recruitment managers to screen for desired traits early on in the hiring journey. Since launching in 2013 the platform has helped hire over 8,000 people across its customer base in the UK and Australia.
The business case for diversity is strong: gender diverse companies are up to 21% more likely to experience above-average profitability than those who aren't, while culturally diverse companies are up to 33% more likely to outperform their less diverse counterparts, according to research by McKinsey & Company. As leaders in recruitment, PageUp's partnership with innovative technology providers like PredictiveHire empowers joint customers to embrace the next generation of recruiting to drive results in their organisations.
"PredictiveHire is an Artificial Intelligence innovator and we are thrilled to be partnering with them. We'll be using their sophisticated and emerging technology to increase the speed and accuracy with which companies can recruit top candidates," said Karen Cariss, CEO and Founder of PageUp.
"PredictiveHire joins the PageUp marketplace of over 100 leading HR tech providers from video interviewing, to background checking, time and attendance and more. We're thrilled to make another innovative software available to our customers, and proud to support an Australian (and Victorian) grown startup."
"Unconscious bias has long been part of the hiring process, and now we have the means to eliminate it," CEO of PredictiveHire Barb Hyman said.
"People are an organisation's most valuable asset. The best way to achieve business transformation is to change your hiring practices. This tool will empower hiring managers across the country to clearly pinpoint those soft skills that can determine success in any role."
PageUp is passionate about connecting people to great careers. The powerful platform optimises each step of the talent management lifecycle -- so everyone can reach their full potential. PageUp Talent Management software enhances HR processes with technology that HR professionals, people leaders and employees love to use. From recruitment and onboarding, through learning, into performance, and right up to best-practice succession planning, all backed up by platform-wide analytics.
PredictiveHire is a team of data scientists, artificial intelligence experts, IO psychologists and recruitment industry veterans who've joined together on a mission to change the way candidate assessment is done, by leveraging the power of smart technology.
PredictiveHire believes all people decisions should be based on data and analytics -- not gut feeling. By using technology to level the candidate playing field, PredictiveHire looks to reduce unconscious biases in the hiring process.

Flyers Rumors: Is Wayne Simmonds On the Block?
So far, it's been a quiet offseason for the Flyers through the remainder of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. With the NHL Draft and free agency getting closer, that could certainly change soon.
This offseason does have the potential to be a busy one for the Flyers though. After making the playoffs last season and starting to usher in more prospects, the team could be looking toward the future and taking steps to ensure they are in the best position to compete once the roster blueprint Ron Hextall has comes to complete fruition.
As is the case in the offseason, the rumor mill can start stirring with possibilities. One such rumor involves a Flyers fan favorite, Wayne Simmonds.
Simmonds is entering the final year of his contract in 2018-19 and the decision on his future in Philadelphia is a big one the Flyers will have to address in the next year. With that in mind, it could have the gritty forward on the trading block, according to one report.
According to The Athletic Minnesota's Michael Russo, the Flyers are "gearing up to potentially trade Simmonds."
Simmonds is coming off a season where he played through multiple injuries, making him a shell of himself by the end of the season. He still scored 24 goals last season despite the injuries.
Simmonds' current contract has him making $5 million per year with a $3.975 million cap hit, reasonable for a player of his ranking. In the two seasons prior to 2017-18, Simmonds scored 63 goals and had 114 points.
While his contract is currently manageable, it's difficult to project what he will earn in his next contract. Simmonds came out of the gate on a torrid pace with six goals in 12 games in October, including a season-opening hat trick. He struggled in November with just one goal, which is when several of the injuries started to set in.
With a full offseason to recover, Simmonds could easily return next season and produce as he did in previous seasons, pushing the 30-goal mark. The Flyers could also be looking to get something in return for Simmonds now, especially if they are eyeing a way to move up in the draft or acquire a player in an area of need.
While there is no evidence that the Flyers are actively shopping Simmonds, the idea that Simmonds could be used as a trade chip has been a topic of discussion throughout the offseason and certainly remains possible.
Whatever happens with Simmonds remains to be seen, but the idea that the Flyers could be preparing for life without the power forward is certainly an interesting thought and something to watch as the offseason progresses.


Less than 33 hours until Towel Day breaks across the International Date Line and spills out across the pacific. Environmental experts warn that the cleanup could be very costly. Others are concerned about the long term psychological effects on wildlife.
It took marine psychologists 42 days to convince this guy to let go of his towel after Towel Day 2011.
This will be the 13 Towel Day! Link your Towel Day 2013 pictures here (time travelers can post them early). If you are not sure how, see the Towel Day Picture FAQs thread.
It's already Towel Day in New Zealand, Australia (parts of), Japan, Korea, and a bunch of other places which the Guide describes as "Mostly Islands"
It is now Towel Day in all but the Americas. Happy Towel Day to froods in Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia and little bits of land lost at sea.
Here I am Towel Day morning after a nice hot shower, courtesy of the new water heater.
After this, some are off to a wedding, and some of us are having a Towel Day party (pics of the party might come tonight if I have rehabilitated enough from the Pan Galactic Gargle Blasters).
The stranger in this second pic is my daughter's college friend in town for the wedding. We have converted her to the Towel Day tradition so well that she appears here in her bathrobe.
Sorry I'm late, but I've got my pictures posted on my blog now.
It ended up that I was stuck in Littleton for longer than expected so Towel Day was spent with the meager hand towel that I brought with me. It did come in handy several times though, as I used it to wipe my mouth when water was thrown at my face from the faucet, and I used it at meal time when the napkins were insufficient.
This bottle I made for my friends who are moving out of town. They celebrate Towel Day too. And in case you were wondering, the bottle says "so long and thanks for all the fish"
Oh, and now the games we played. When I got back from my long stay in that hot place we played the scrabble game, where we pulled out scrabble pieces from a towel to find the ultimate question. My uncle wanted to cheat by having me pull out a piece I know and then he'd take it, so that it would create a better structure of words than anyone else, but it didn't work as I was laughing too much and I couldn't pull out letters fast enough for the others not to notice. Although I'm not sure they would have noticed anyway because they were acting like one would after having a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster. Anyway, everyone got pretty much nonsense, so here are the "ultimate questions" that everyone got.

Right now, there are more than 22,000 share houses listed on Gumtree and close to 2,500 listings from house-hunters looking for a room.
Before you get going, take some time to consider the qualities you look for in a housemate and your preferred living situation. It might be easiest to create a checklist of the things most important to you.
Are you a Game of Thrones fanatic or is The Vicar of Dibley more your thing? Have a think about the things you like (and equally, dislike) – if someone has similar interests to you, you're more likely to get along.
Okay, so rent is $200 a week – but how much are the gas, electricity and internet bills? Some housemates also split the cost of groceries and general household items. Be upfront about all household costs from the beginning to avoid unwanted food-sharing and unpaid bills.
Party animals and book worms will have different tolerances for loud music and house guests – the work schedule and social habits of housemates will have a significant impact your living situation. Make sure you're honest about your own lifestyle and agree on boundaries up front.
An untidy bedroom is one thing but piles of dirty dishes are another. Set clear expectations about the standard of living or consider implementing a cleaning roster to avoid calling the pest inspector!
Nobody knows a prospective housemate better than the ones they currently live with, or have lived with in the past. Ask for one or two references to give you a third party perspective.
Head to the Flatshare & Houseshare category on Gumtree to check out some of the places on offer.


Depression can affect a person on a physical level in many ways, such as a type of lethargy, a lack of energy or reduced motivation to "get going". On a mental level, it can be described as feeling "low" or "down". It can lead to a gradual withdrawal from relationships and accompanying low self-esteem or self-confidence.
This type of feeling affecting the whole person can come on suddenly or gradually, at any time of the year or at a similar time each year. For some individuals there is no set pattern.
Depression if left untreated can be fairly deleterious to the individual in many areas, such as relationships with colleagues, family and friends and affect employment in terms of time keeping and being able to keep on top of work.
Conversely the cause or origin of the depression can be relationships with colleagues at work or a situation involving family or friends. This can lead to a feeling of lack of control or a learned helplessness over time. Depression is sometimes described as "anger turned inwards".
Going to the GP can help and a course of medication considered suitable for the individual may be all that is needed. On other occasions it may be worth considering counselling. For some cases both treatments can work together. What is also helpful is to try to increase physical activity. This may include walking or any kind of sport suitable for the individual concerned.
The aim of counselling, in whatever form, is to enable increased self-awareness and to get in touch with the anger safely. It works to encourage the use verbal expression or if unable, to draw, paint or use objects to describe situations or people.
There are many different forms of counselling but essentially forming a good relationship between client and counsellor is key to alleviating initial distress.
What is also crucial in a developing client-counsellor relationship is trust.
Trust can be facilitated with the client secure in the knowledge that all material is confidential. Some aspects of the clients' story may be discussed with a suitably qualified supervisor in order to ensure that the client and counsellor relationship is flowing smoothly. This is with particular adherence to the professional body's criteria to which the counsellor is affiliated.
For some clients this may be the first time they have opened up to someone or the first time that someone has listened to them. This in itself can lead to greater self-awareness by the reflecting back on process of counselling.
Some counselling may be for only six to eight weeks: for example person-centred or CBT and can focus on one or two issues. Other forms of counselling, such as psychodynamic, can be longer term. As the relationship progresses between client and counsellor, they enable a peeling back of layers or ability to go back into earlier life situations. Sometimes it may enable a repeating pattern of feelings to situations to emerge. This greater awareness can occur with any type of counselling and can lead to a strengthening from a vulnerable position.
Counselling can lead to an ability to be able to approach situations or people differently with perhaps a more positive outcome.


Join us on May 22nd for the results.
In April we celebrated the 2015 Year of the Soil by finding ways to protect this precious resource. We finished up the month with a challenge about green fertilizers, crops which are grown and then either mowed or turned under to nourish the soil. I visited our County Extension's website to find out which crops are suggested for my area and type of soil. Legumes, grains, and even radishes work well. Cover crops can go in right after harvesting vegetables, basically replacing spent plants with seeds. So, I'll be trying that out this year.
Before we get started with your comments and posts, I'd like to share a request from Charlotte, a regular participant of CTWW. She's getting ready to have her first child and is asking for our help. Please read I Call for Assistance ... let's give her a helping hand!
Marla joined us and left this comment: "I don't have an empty plot to try the green fertilizer but I always eat organic and/or local produce because its good for the planet and for our health. I want the very best for my family and for the earth."
Change The World Wednesday got a nice mention in this edition of the Hottest Writers on the Web. WhooHoo!
Amanda left this comment via Google+, "I just got out in the garden today, forgot how great it can feel!"
Alicia joined us and said this: "Alan's great grandfather, grandfather and father have all done this. So this is something we learned to do years ago. It really does make such a difference in the soil. We are also looking into wood chip gardening . It looks amazing and makes your soil so nutrient dense.
Also check out Back To Eden it is so informative. Love buying local organic food, it's the best way to go!!"
cstocks stopped by and shared this: "Here in the desert, the non-garden spaces are going into hibernation and the veggie garden is all planted out. I"m going to have to actually (ack!) buy some vegetables this week--making a big pot of chili (the recipe I use is vegetarian) to put up for summer (so we can rely on some hearty meals without heating up the kitchen). Celery, carrots, onions and corn are all heavy soil feeders, none of which I've had any luck with in my yard, yet, so I'll be buying organic."
Last week Charlie asked for some advice. In response to our answers, she said, "Thank you so much!".
Morag shared some wonderful information with us: "I like to plant Phacelia as a green manure on bare ground that I won't be planting up for veggies for a while. It's a nitrogen fixer and grows on most soil types. The bees love the light blue flowers too. Thinking of fertilisers now is a great time (northern hemisphere) to start nettle and comfrey liquid feed "teas" for your plants. Comfrey for flowers/fruits and nettles for leafy greens (comfrey has more potassium, nettles more nitrogen). Two buckets (one for each) packed with the leaves of the plant then add water let it stand for a week or so then dilute as necessary (do a web search for exact quantities and times) then water or spray onto plants. Keep an eye on those buckets though both mixtures tend to smell a lot once they get going. Natural fertilisers are a great way to help you go organic http://www.worldchanging.me/food/organic-stuffed/level-1 with your growing food quests http://www.worldchanging.me/education-and-culture/growing-steady/level-1."
Soil is basic to food production. It is a finely-balanced ecosystem which, when protected, can help feed the world. Unfortunately, many of today's gardening practices destroy soil structure and the micro-organisms that call it home. The good news is that it is within our power to protect this precious resource. It is within our power and it is our responsibility. Let's step up and accept the challenge!
This month we'll be investigating ways to improve air quality, both indoors and out.
Here's a disturbing fact: The EPA estimates that secondhand smoke causes approximately 3,000 lung cancer deaths and 37,000 heart disease deaths in nonsmokers each year.* Read that again ... they are talking about risk to NONsmokers.
This week, Stop Smoking! You'll improve your health, the health of those around you, and air quality! If you can't end this addiction, please reduce the amount you smoke and smoke outside, away from others.
If you don't smoke ... congratulations! Your challenge, this week, is to evaluate your home for other indoor air pollutants and make plans to eliminate them. For example, do you have carpets or plastic shower curtains? Both contribute to poor air quality. Do you have your clothing dry cleaned? That's also a big polluter. Consider your heating (oil and kerosene heaters compromise your air). What kinds of cleaning solutions are in your home? Do you use plug-in air fresheners which spray harmful chemicals into the room? Once you've identified the problem areas, find safe, Eco-friendly alternatives.
Are you ready to breathe easy this week? I know that you are!
*Information gathered from the Clean Air Council.


The journey begins where we hop on an open-air bus. Along the direction to Batu Ferringhi, the view of island and sea was looming among the leaves. Blue sky and the gradient of the sea water can be seen clearly. Feel the wind blowing through the cheek and have a look to the place that you had been stay for the past 20 years. To enjoy life seems as easy as starting a journey without caring of the destiny and most of the time you will experience the most unexpected things out of your imagination.
In KL city, double decker open-air tour bus is for the tourist attraction. The route link between Kuala Lumpur cultural district and the modern city where tourist can see the development and molding of the city. Now, this kind of public transport was in Penang too!!!
At Penang, you can begin and end your journey at the same point. The main ticketing office is at Gurney Drive or Chowrasta Market, Georgetown. There was choices of 2 routes, which is Beach route and also City route where the bus will stop at 33 station where tourist can enjoy up to 60 Penang's attractions. You just need to wait around 20 to 30 minutes and the bus will arrive and ready to pick you up. Tour guide book is also available on the bus where you can get it with the bus driver so that you can understand Penang more.
From Persiaran Gurney → Jalan Bagan Jermal → Jalan Gottlieb → JalanKebunTeh → JalanUtama → Jalan Macalister → JalanResidensi →Jalan Scotland → Jalan Air Hitam → Jalan Bukit Bendera → Jalan Ayer Hitam →JalanDatoKeramat → Jalan Penang → Jalan Transfer → Jalan Sri Bahari → JalanDr Lim Chwee Leong →LebuhCarnavon → Jalan Kg Kolam → LebuhChulia → Pengkalan Weld → JalanTun Syed Barakbah → Lebuh Light → Jalan Masjid KapitanKeling → Lebuh Farquhar → Jalan Sultan Ahmad Shah → JalanLarut → Jalan Burma → JalanPangkor → JalanKelawai → JalanPemenang and back to Persiaran Gurney.
From Persiaran Gurney → Jalan Tanjong Tokong → Lebuhraya Gelugor →Jalan Tanjong Buhgah → Jalan Batu Ferrenghi → Hassan Abas → Jalan Sultan Ahmad Shah → Jalan Larut → Jalan Hutton → Jalan Penang → Jalan Burma → Jalan Pemenang and back to Persiaran Gurney.
In the journey back to Gurney drive, the weather suddenly turned from sunny day to gloomy day. As expected, the rain comes just a minutes away where it become cats and dogs as the journey go on. Luckily we sit in front of wind shield which somehow protect us from the rain as the bus driving down the hill. But, once the bus stop for red light, the nightmares begin. The rain drops directly on us and in a while all of us was soaking wet. Life is full of unexpectation, no one knows what will happen in the next second. So, take a break and enjoy it.
We hop off to Rasa Sayang Resort to enjoy their Cronut as our afternoon tea. Seem like we was ran out of luck because their pastry chef told us that they did not make it that day. So, we order some other dessert and continue enjoy our afternoon tea since our plan was ruined by the rain.
When we reach gurney, we ran into Gurney Plaza to buy some cloths to change. We was soaking wet and you can see the water dripping off our cloths. It was so embarrassing because everyone was looking at you with a weird expression.
Penang double decker open-air bus give tourist and also local a new way to understand Penang. If you want to shopping, have a dinner, pay a visit to art gallery, picnic at the beach, watch movie or shows and also walk around the historical site, it is all included in the route. If you and your friend wanted to try a new, exciting and special way to play around in Penang, we recommend you to hop on the Penang double decker tour bus and experience this beautiful island.

Q: Calculating all possible combinations using a list of random numbers and ALL simple math operators to reach a given target I am writing a simple Python script that generates 6 numbers at random (from 1 to 100) and a larger number (from 100 to 1000). My goals for this script are to:

*

*Calculate all of the possible combinations using at least 2 numbers and any of the simple math operations (adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing)

*Output all of the combinations whose total is within 10 above or below the larger number as 'matches'
The list of numbers need not be exhausted, but repeating numbers isn't accepted. Plus I don't care too much if the code is efficient or not (if anyone decides to post any - I can post mine so far if anyone needs it - preferably post it in Python); as long as it works, I'm happy to optimize it.
I have attempted this myself, only to fail as the program quickly ended with a RunTime Error. I also tried putting in a counter to stop the loop after x passes (where x is a small number such as 50), but that just makes matters worse as it keeps on going infinitely.
I've also done some research, and I found that this (Computing target number from numbers in a set - the second to last answer) is the closest I found to meet my requirements but hasn't got quite there yet.
Thanks for the help! :-)
EDIT: Here is my code:
import random, time, operator

i = 0
numlist = []
while i != 6:
    number = random.randint(1, 100)
    numlist.append(number)
    i += 1

largenumber = random.randint(100, 1000)
print(numlist)
print(largenumber)

def operationTesting():
    a, c, m, total = 0, 0, 0, 0
    totalnums = 0
    operators = ['+', '-', '*', '/']
    while total != largenumber:
        for a in numlist[m]:
            for c in numlist[m+1]:
                print(a)
                print(c)
                if a == c:
                    operationTesting()
                else:
                    b = random.choice(operators)
                    if b == '+':
                        summednums = operator.add(int(a), int(c))
                        print(summednums)
                        totalnums = totalnums + summednums
                    elif b == '-':
                        summednums = operator.sub(int(a), int(c))
                        print(summednums)
                        totalnums = totalnums + summednums
                    elif b == '*':
                        summednums = operator.mul(int(a), int(c))
                        print(summednums)
                        totalnums = totalnums + summednums
                    elif b == '/':
                        summednums = operator.floordiv(int(a), int(c))
                        print(summednums)
                        totalnums = totalnums + summednums
                    print(totalnums)
                    SystemExit(None)

operationTesting()

A: A very neat way to do it is using Reverse Polish Notation or Postfix notation.  This notation avoids the need for brackets that you would probably want if you were doing it using conventional arithmetic with operator precedence etc.
You can do this with brute force if you are not too bothered about time efficiency.  You need to consider what you want to do with division too - if two numbers do not divide exactly, do you want to return the result as 'invalid' in some way (I guess so), or really return a floored division?  Note the latter might give you some invalid answers...
Consider the test case of numlist = [1,2,3,4,5,6].  In RPN, we could do something like this
RPN           Equivalent to
123456+++++   (1+(2+(3+(4+(5+6)))))
123456++++-   (1-(2+(3+(4+(5+6)))))
123456+++-+   (1+(2-(3+(4+(5+6)))))
...
12345+6+-++   (1+(2+(3-((4+5)+6))))
12345+6-+++   (1+(2+(3+((4+5)-6))))
...

And so on.  You can probably see that with sufficient combinations, you can get any combinations of numbers, operators and brackets.  The brackets are important - to take only 3 numbers obviously
1+2*6

is normally interpreted
(1 + (2*6)) == 13

and is quite different to
((1+2)*6) == 18

In RPN, these would be 126*+ and 12+6* respectively.
So, you've got to generate all your combinations in RPN, then develop an RPN calculator to evaluate them.
Unfortunately, there are quite a lot of permutations with 6 numbers (or any subset thereof).  First you can have the numbers in any order, thats 6! = 720 combinations.  You will always need n-1 == 5 operators and they can be any one of the 4 operators.  So that's 4**5 == 1024 permutations.  Finally those 5 operators can be in any one of 5 positions (after first pair of numbers, after first 3, after 4 and so on).  You can have maximum 1 operator in the first position, two in the second and so on.  That's 5! == 120 permutations.  So in total you have 720*1024*120 == 88473600 permutations.  Thats roughly 9 * 10**7 Not beyond the realms of computation at all, but it might take 5 minutes or so to generate them all on a fairly quick computer.
You could significantly improve on this by "chopping" the search tree

*

*Loads of the RPN combinations will be arithmetically identical (e.g. 123456+++++ == 12345+6++++ == 1234+5+6+++ etc) - you could use some prior knowledge to improve generate_RPN_combinations so it didn't generate them

*identifying intermediate results that show certain combinations could never satisfy your criterion and not exploring any further combinations down that road.

You then have to send each string to the RPN calculator.  These are fairly easy to code and a typical programming exercise - you push values onto a stack and when you come to operators, pop the top two members from the stack, apply the operator and push the result onto the stack.  If you don't want to implement that - google minimal python rpn calculator and there are resources there to help you.
Note, you say you don't have to use all 6 numbers.  Rather than implementing that separately, I would suggest checking any intermediate results when evaluating the combinations for all 6 numbers, if they satisfy the criterion, keep them too.

HomeLawWhat To Do When You Have a Misdemeanor Charge?
There are two ways that you can face a misdemeanor charge. In some cases, the police or the state attorney may give you an appearance date. If you have an appearance date, there's no warrant for your arrest. You simply show up on your court date. Even if you receive an appearance date, you should be prepared for the court to set bond at your arraignment date. You may need to arrange to make a Broward County bail payment in order to stay free on bond while you await future proceedings.
If you have a warrant, you need to turn yourself in. For a misdemeanor charge, you can often immediately post your bond and secure your release until your arraignment date. In cases where you don't have the cash on hand to pay your bond, you may work with a bail bonds company in order to put up the money that you need to stay free on bond while you await your arraignment date.
There may be evidence that's critical to your defense that you can gather right now. For example, if you took a chemical test as part of a drunk driving or drugged driving arrest, it can help your case to take an independent test as soon as possible. It may be helpful to identify witnesses and their contact information. You can demand a copy of the police report and other evidence in law enforcement's possession. Building your evidence and gathering information about law enforcement's case can help you develop the best possible defense strategy early on in your misdemeanor case.
Your first court appearance is an arraignment. At an arraignment, the court formally tells you about the charges against you. The court may also adjust your bond conditions. If you need to ask for modifications to your bond conditions because of employment, your arraignment is the time to raise the issue with the court. At your arraignment, you have the opportunity to plead guilty or not guilty.
It's important to learn all that you can about the charges against you. You should take the time to learn the different elements of the charge and what law enforcement has to prove in order to convince the judge or jury that you're guilty of the charge. It's also important to understand the direct and indirect consequences of a conviction. There may be ancillary consequences like loss of your driver's license or counseling and drug testing as part of probation. When you fully understand the charges and the potential consequences, you can address your misdemeanor charge in the best possible way.


If I did not award the previous album another halfstar, I do with this one: 4.5 stars!!!
With this album (and the previous) Popol Vuh reached their apex , their peak. Very similar to Seiligpreisung and Einsjager, this is still a slight progression on the refinement of this type of near-acoustic prog (well there is plenty of electric guitars but not power chords or seering feedback-ladden solos). The is the most accomplished album yet in their typical contemplative and meditative laid-back (and very instrumental -Yun's vocals are often used as an instrument) "rock" the whole thing underlined by Indian percussions. Actually , one track is very much Indian music augmented by two guests.
Released in 1975, after the excellent "Einsjäger & Siebenjäger", this album belongs to the second era of the band. The most progrock, thanks to the rhythmic section and guitar's presence.
Compositions are short and dense, some moments are energetic but most pieces are in a meditative vein. The opener "Steh Auf, Zieh Mich Dir Nach" , is wonderful. It starts with a solemn introduction, and then the piece slowly builds up with piano and female back vocals and eventually explodes with an aerial and lyrical guitar flight supported by a powerful rhythm.
Popol vuh returns to biblical themes by drawing inspiration from the Song of Songs. These ancient love poems were at some point combined to the myths of King Solomon, and thus this Hebrew tradition heritage also as a part of the Old Testament. Musically Florian's and Daniel's piano & guitar driven core is supported again by Djong Yun's voice, and is also strengthened by Indian sitar-tabla duo, creating wonderful world music fusion tapestries for this adorable song from Middle-Eastern legacy. Though these texts can be interpreted from different religious and political viewpoints, I believe Florian approached them as ultimate dedications for human loving. The blossoming album covers introduce well the theme of earthly paradise for man and woman, relating with its visual appearance to the Garden of Eden of Genesis, and also containing both allegorical and concrete sceneries of vineyards and nature's fertile richness.
On the first side "O fairest of women" standing forth for being observed, is revealed with powerful mystical sonic displays, leading to a romantic hymn of weaving guitars trough the more vividly twisting amplified opening track. The vocal presence is also now stronger than on the earlier record "Einsjäger & Siebenjäger". Oriental sound textures merge wonderfully to the guitar and percussive driven sounds, allowing glimpses to similarly holy and sensual visions. Both album sides culminate to an impressionistic still life of King Solomon, centralizing as the kind king reining the kingdom for supreme praises of feminine adorations. The first evocation of the Son of Salomon is encircled by some sort of visions of moonlit alleys. I believe these parts describe the dreams of poem's maiden searching her lover from the nocturnal streets. On the first dream she finds him, the wedding progressions leading to first encounter of the son of David, and the second dream denies her lover's discovery, leaving her alone with the city guards. The first vision of Solomon flows with most sacred solemnity, reaching ultimate heights of sanctity trough weeps of guitar and divine singing, the night visions around him being first quite fearful, second run escaping to joys of on drum supported rock melody explorations, thus possibly studying the tale from reverse chronology.
On the second side of the album the winter has passed after the night's dream sequences, the rains being over and gone. Indian tabla and sitar dialogue is introduced here to the music, exploding as really euphoric all-loving tonal art expression. The blossoms of poetic genius bloom on the descriptions of lively vineyards, representing the fair woman appreciated; "How much sweeter is your love than wine", these lyrics hovering on the wings of truth towards the infinity. The second apparition of King Solomon might be seen as governor of these vineyards and lands, the holy grandiose theme studied now both trough the licks of the sitar and full presence of the orchestra repertoire, embodying as a powerful mythic oriental colossus, protecting the gardens of love with firm soul of kindness. Instead of governing vineyards and the lands, the mortal male character of the poem is satisfied the vineyard being the woman of his love; "You drink me with your kiss", closing the record with the ecstatic determination of rolling forward on the path of life, blessed with gift of love's bounds.


Energy from Waste (EfW) and Energy from Biomass (EfB) have always been our core sectors.
Both technologies have grown quickly over the past few years with new plants being commissioned regularly- 20 EfW plants have come online in the past 3 years.
Waste- by its very composition, is an inconsistent source of fuel, being a mix of paper, plastic, biomass and other less flammable materials. Fouling on the boiler tubes and walls is an ongoing problem for these plants. To a degree, biomass plants experience similar fouling problems especially when burning wood that is contaminated with plastic and other materials.
Higher availability- load reduction is avoided. Operating time is also extended with longer intervals between shutdowns. Improve the efficiency by having clean boiler tubes which will improve the heat transfer coefficient of the tubes and bundles.
Improve safety conditions for your inspection personnel by cleaning just before a shutdown to remove fouling – shorter shutdown time by decreasing manual cleaning needs will save you money.
Read on to understand how we apply such methods to plants.

Q: Tab to select autocomplete item in eclipse? I can't find either the term autocomplete or intellisense in Preferences->General->Keys in Eclipse 3.6.2.
I don't want to press enter to select an autocomplete item when I write code. Can I configure Eclipse to accept an autocomplete item with the tab button?

A: Just got it, go to Window>Preferences>General->Keys and look for "Word completion" as said before. Then near the bottom is "Binding" and to the right of it, a box with an arrow, clicking there you can select "Tab" to use Tabulator for autocomplete.

A: The autocompletion selection key(s) is editor specific. For instance in Aptana Studio, you could define set of keys for proposal selection. See e.g. Preferences/Aptana Studio/Editors/JavaScript. PyDev shares some code with Aptana Studio, so it has similar capabilities. See "Preferences/PyDev/Editor/Code Completion/Apply completion on *" checkboxes.
Speaking of the Tab key as a selector, it doesn't seem possible w/o extra coding since it has special meaning to focus into proposals window. For these who interested could find Tab handling at org.eclipse.jface.text.contentassist.CompletionProposalPopup.verifyKey(VerifyEvent)
Cheers,
Max

A: I believe you are looking for "word completion" Left Alt + / though you can change it in "Preferences->General->Keys" to be whatever key combo. Pressing / multiple times cycles through the different suggestions. It's not very intelligent. For example if you have String apple; and double apps; and you type double x = a and then Alt + / eclipse might suggest apple instead of apps, even though apple is an String.
Edit: Looks like it's ctrl + / on some computers.

A: I believe the same question is asked here Change hotkey for autocomplete selection

All key bindings in Eclipse are defined in Window -> Preferences ->
  General -> Keys. I don't think you can change what is used to select
  stuff from the autocomplete list, but you can use space to select and
  then Enter for new line.

A: You can use this trick as mentioned -> https://stackoverflow.com/a/6508181/474002
After you jump to the item you want, press Tab -> Space
It's done. Hope this will help :)

Q: GServer Thread Problems In Ruby Looking around I found http://www.devco.net/archives/2008/06/26/adventures_with_ruby.php where the blogger moan about GServer's bug to destory threads and reaching its maximum connections. Is this problem real / still true?
Thanks

A: I had also faced two problems with GServer in Ruby 1.9.1.

*

*It suddenly stops

*It does memory leaks

http://tora-japan.com/wiki/GServer_in_Ruby_1.9.1_has_two_problems
Then, I wrote a Pre-Threaded TCP Server for Ruby 1.9.1 by myself,
linked from the wiki page above.

A: I had similar problems when using GServer as simple TCP server, however I didn't dig into the issue too deeply since I had originally planned to use EventMachine.
In the end I just ported my code to use that library and been happy.
Sorry, I don't know the real answer, but I do know that I had problems with GServer and have been really happy with EM since I switched -- so you might want to look into that.   Replacing libraries was not too difficult once I understood how EM worked.

A: Eventmachine is awesome:
class Server
module Thread_server

  def receive_data data

    data.chomp
    {.......................}

  end
end

def self.perform
  EventMachine::run {

  EventMachine::start_server "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx", pxoxrxt, Thread_server

  }

end
end

Artsakh Foreign Minister Invokes President Wilson's Legacy in Washington, DC Remarks
September 18, 2022 News ANC International, ANCA, Հայ Դատ - Ամերիկա, Հայ Դատի Կեդրոնական Գրասենեակ
Minister Davit Babayan's Wilson House address underscores President Wilson's devotion to democratic self-determination
Artsakh Republic Foreign Minister Davit Babayan, in an address that spoke to global diasporan and diplomatic support for Artsakh's security and sovereignty, invoked the legacy of President Woodrow Wilson and his concern for "the fate of small nations – nations under the threat of extermination."
Minister Babayan's remarks were made at an Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA) dinner reception dedicated to Artsakh's security and liberty, held at Washington, DC's historic Woodrow Wilson House.
It followed a day-long strategic dialogue with ANCA leaders, from across the United States, gathered in Washington, DC for the ANCA's Federal Policy Seminar. Foreign Minister Babayan will, on Monday, begin a three-day series of Congressional consultations, think tank briefings, university lectures, media interviews, church visits, and community meetings. He will offer keynote remarks on Monday, September 19th at the Capitol Hill Salute to Artsakh's Independence, a community event on Capitol Hill that is being organized in cooperation with the Congressional Armenian Caucus.
The historic Woodrow Wilson House, a museum honoring the U.S. President who championed efforts to secure a US mandate to support the Armenian Republic in 1918, served as a fitting setting for the Minister's address. He was joined in speaking by Artsakh Deputy Minister of Culture, Education, Science, and Sports Lernik Hovanessian and international human rights lawyer Siranush Sahakyan.
The ANCA Federal Policy Seminar is a four-day series of presentations, roundtable discussions and Capitol Hill visits for ANCA leaders, with a sharp focus on advancing ANCA strategic priorities: saving Artsakh, strengthening Armenia, holding Azerbaijan and Turkey accountable for their crimes.
Born in Artsakh's capital Stepanakert, Babayan has served as Foreign Minister of the Republic of Artsakh since January, 2021. Prior to that, he has held positions in government ministries of the Artsakh Republic including the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (2000 – 2001); the Presidential Planning Group (2001 – 2015); Assistant to the President (2005 – 2007); Head of the Central Information Department of the Office President (2007 – 2021). He founded and currently leads the "Artsakh Conservative Party."
Babayan has received a degree in economics from the Yerevan Institute of National Economy, and master's degrees from American University of Armenia and the Central European University (Budapest). He holds a doctorate in historical science from the Armenian National Academy of Sciences Institute of Oriental Studies. He has authored more than 300 articles and monographs of scientific research in the areas of the Azerbaijan – Artsakh (Karabakh) negotiations, Caucasus geopolitics, great power competition and Chinese geopolitics.

Any wood products in outdoor use need protection from the elements to maximise their life and ensure they look their best.
Larch, which has natural weather-proof qualities, will look fresher for longer if assisted with a drop of oil. We recommend re-touching with oil or stain approximately once a year. However if you are after the stylishly greying look that larch obtains without oiling, then Larch can be left untreated.
We recommend using natural furniture oil for outdoor purposes to treat the surface of our products before the summer season. NorDeck chairs and tables are easy to take apart by removing the ropes. This allows a thorough touch-up with oil before the garden season, accessing every nook and cranny.
Some of the stained pine products may initially let some off colour, so be careful with your clothes. This will sort itself out in time, but if you want, you can seal the surface with sealing oil, or just wipe the surface of the chair lightly with a damp cloth prior to first use.
The hemp ropes and the knots will loosen up in use over time, and hence it is important that you remember to tighten the ropes regularly. This prevents the chair from becoming unstable. It is important that the shortest pieces of wood in the backrest section are resting on the hind legs of the chair at all times when used. If the ropes are loose, this might not happen. When tying the knots, a good tip is to use a knot that can be easily undone when necessary. Over time, replace the hemp ropes if need be (NordEco Style can supply you with a replacement rope).
NorDeck chairs fold flat to make the storage of the chair easy and compact. It is easy to hang from hooks on a wall to free up floor space in your shed or garage. The chair can also be stored disassembled to save even more space. Just keep the original packaging to have a handy storage box. We recommend that you keep the chairs in a shed or covered shelter for the winter months, just like any other garden furniture.


I need to know how much disc space is used by each Confluence space.
Is there any functionality or plugin I can use?
If you're primarily concered with attachment size, you can loop over all the pages in a space and get the attachment size for them. Similarly, you can get a page count. With some simple extrapolation, you could make a reasonable guess at how much "disk space" each space is using.
## Macro to display information such as number of pages, number of blog posts, attachment size, etc. about a named Space.
As all content of the spaces is stored in the database, there is not an easy answer for this quesition as the information for all spaces is stored in the same tables.
If you are storing attachments in your filesystem, you can check all attachments for an space in the folder named as teh space id. You can find more information on the attachments file structure in Hierarchical File System Attachment Storage.

Tiki Barber
By Lughead,
Tiki has a Giant legacy
All I will say is if you let all the relatively harmless shit off the field cloud your view of Tiki the player and the effort he put in then you haven't a clue. His legacy as a Giant should be secure beyond doubt. Off the field issues have not dented Giants Fans views of LT, and LT's behaviour puts Tiki's crap in the shade.
i dont judge tiki for his marital issues, but i have never liked his personality. he has always come across as a self-serving phony. i rooted for him but he didn't come off as very likeable to me.
People don't give a shit about his marital issues, they only care he mouthed off. And some of what he said had merit.
Mouthing off is fine if you're doing it for the right reasons. Doing it to kickstart your broadcasting career isn't one of them.
Anyone who thinks he criticized the team constructively was sadly misled.
Great player though.
this sums up how i feel about him pretty well.
he also shouldn't have opened his mouth to the media about strahan's contract situation that one training camp imo.
he's a giants legend as far as im concerned but he doesn't have that likeability that a seubert, strahan or tuck have.
TaylorBanksCarsonVanPelt
Location:Under the Boardwalk...Down by Sea...Town of Far Rockaway
That is the scene where I checked off Me Me Barber as an asshole. You don't mouth off on a fellow players contract. Shit the reporters who got sprayed by Strahan's peanut butter sandwich should have called OSHA on Me Me for causing that hazardous waste exposure. Plus Strahan was right in the middle of divorcing his nutso wife as well. He is a self serving creep. Good ball player... but a creep none the less.
I have no problem with Tiki Barber, awesome running back, couldn't care less what he's said about Tom Coughlin. 20+ out of 32 coaches out coach him, so he and Shockey have had legitimate points.
I have no problem with Barber, even after he said things about the Giants.
He's a broadcaster he's suppose to give his opinion on teams, regardless of the team he previously played for. Most people complain when broadcasters have a bias towards their previous teams but in Barber's case they are complaining that he isnt praising the Giants.
JMFP
It's a good point.
I'll only say that while LT was certainly never a boy scout, he never dissed his teammates, coaches, etc.
But, like you said, if you look at the shit LT has pulled off the field, they blow away any sins that Tiki has committed.
tough to compare tiki to LT since one gave about 100x more to the fans on the field than the other and is a top 5 all-timer
isn't there a middle ground somewhere? like i want my giants hero to be loyal to the team but not go to sleezy motels with underage women. can't we have that?
take strahan for instance. he's critical of the team but constructively. and he talks about the present, not the past. he doesn't talk out of school as they say. and so far as i know, he hasn't been to sleezy hotels. (Jack may have more info on that)
strahan is pretty much everything i want a good player on my team to be. he's not a saint but he's not a.c. green either and he's funny and doesn't come across as a phony. he's on tv because he's naturally charismatic, not as some contrived gameplan that probably included some coaching lessons like with barber
Nice A.C. Green reference.
Is AC Green still a virgin?. If not, perhaps Tiki can reignite his broadcasting career by calling him a closet fag.

In today's talking points, the 2018 boom in healthcare investment was aided by three key deals, and a cancer treatment accelerator approved in Wuwei signals a breakthrough in cancer research. In other news, Chemist Warehouse has experienced continued growth in the Chinese market and has made new plans to expand their sales platform, and Chinese and Australian universities are partnering to research the use of AI in healthcare.
The 2018 boom of Chinese healthcare investment into Australia
Australian healthcare climbed to the top of the investment ladder for incoming Chinese investment in 2018. Accounting for 42 percent of Chinese investment in the Australian market in 2018, the healthcare industry is experiencing a foreign investment boom, with investment more than double the previous year at AUD $3.4 billion.
Despite clear diversity in investments, 2018's boom was aided significantly by three major deals comprising over AUD $500 million, with major investment moving into health supplements (53%) and medical treatments, including natural medicine, IVF and fertility. This is an incredibly positive trend for Australian healthcare providers, which has developed a reputation for high-tech and high quality and comes at a crucial time for China's maturing health industry and steadily ageing population in growing need of aged-care services. Positive trends are in store with Chinese investment into healthcare is expected to grow by 8.1% annually over the next five years.

First carbon ion cancer treatment accelerator is approved in Wuwei
Recently, as part of China's carbon particle therapy, the first carbon ion cancer treatment accelerator has been approved at the Wuwei Cancer Hospital. Using the system, carbon ions are accelerated to 70% of the speed of light before being blasted in beams at a tumour to destroy the cells' DNA.
According to the project manager, Xiao Guoqing, the finished accelerator in Wuwei is a symbol for "a major milestone in China's domestically made advanced medical equipment." This domestically built system costs significantly less than importing the same machine, making treatment cheaper for Chinese patients.
Wang Xiaohu, the vice president at Gansu Province Cancer Hospital, has said that accelerated ions are more destructive than photons (used in traditional cancer treatments) due to their ability to be highly targeted. At the same time, it is said to be a safer and more successful radiation therapy. Currently, this system is effective in treating stages of prostate, liver, rectal and lung cancers. Therefore, the Wuwei Cancer Hospital will gradually be able to treat more than 1,000 patients per year.

Chemist Warehouse's growing success in the Chinese market
The Australian retailer, Chemist Warehouse, begun leveraging China's strong pharmaceutical industry through its partnership with the Alibaba-run Tmall marketplace four years ago. Continued success, with a 52% growth rate for year-on-year sales, has seen them recently extending their partnership by signing an updated two-year agreement.
The retailer is the number one cross-border seller on the Tmall marketplace, with an offering of more than 200 brands and 3,200 SKUs. This was after launching in 2015 and becoming the first cross-border retailer to achieve RMB 10 million ($1.4 million) in gross merchandise volume in only 46 minutes during the 11.11 Global Shopping Event.
In addition, the retailer has announced its expansion into online marketplaces Kaola and Lazada, increasing its reach to other regions in South East Asia. Its online success has also kick-started plans to open a pilot bricks-and-mortar store in Zhengzhou City of Henan Province. This physical presence is aimed to provide Chinese customers with more confidence of cross-border products by allowing them to see, touch and feel the products prior to purchase.

The University of Sydney in partnership with Fudan University have formed the Brain and Intelligence Science Alliance. The organisation is set to research neuroscience and explore how AI can be ethically used within the field.
According to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, in 2016, dementia and Alzheimer's were the leading causes of death in Australia. As a result, the Brain and Intelligence Science Alliance is hoping to study the prevention, diagnosis and intervention for these particular brain disorders.
The Vice-Chancellor of The University of Sydney, Dr. Michael Spence, has stated, "We need to work across disciplines and across oceans if our research is going to improve lives."

Emanuel Pastreich, President of The Asia Institute, recently had an opportunity to speak with Nayan Chanda, renowned Indian author and journalist, about Korea's new global role. Mr. Chanda is one of the leading experts on the topic of globalization. His comments on Korea are of particular value because of his conception which does not assume the West to be the center of globalization forces. Mr. Chanda has visited Korea frequently and also held a talk related to this issue at the Asia Institute in 2009. His work is admired for his strong historical sense: he traces globalization, largely based on trade, back over the last two millennia.
Chanda's best known book is Bound Together: How Traders, Preachers, Adventurers and Warriors Shaped Globalization (Yale University Press, 2007). It is an insightful discussion of the process of globalization over the last two thousand years. Chanda posits that globalization is driven by traders seeking profits, preachers carrying out a divine mission, adventurers in search of fortune and glory, and warriors seeking loot and power. The book has been translated into Chinese, French, Korean, Japanese, Italian, Turkish amd Portuguese. Another of his books, Brother Enemy: The War After the War, is probably the most comprehensive study of the aftermath of the Vietnam Civil War and its implications for Southeast Asia. He also co-authored the book, The Age of Terror: America and the World After September 11, with Strobe Talbott, President of Brookings Institution.
It is an honor to have you here with us today. You have had a chance to watch Korea evolve over the years as a journalist and writer. Can you reflect on recent political developments in Korea and put them in context for us?
I have watched Korea for decades and find the rapid evolution of that country quite remarkable. We have seen the emergence of a mature political system since the era of Kim Dae-jung, with a diverse political debate and concerns about certain issues that were not on the table previously. I think that the evolution up through President Lee Myung-bak is quite striking. One wonders what the implications will be for the presidential election this year. Parallel to the political development of Korea has been its astonishing technological evolution. We now find in Korea the most connected country in the world. It has moved ahead of many industrialized countries, and its technological prowess, from automobiles to computers, from silicon wafers to power plants and the latest tablet by Samsung now sets global standards.
How does the Korea you see today look in contrast to the Korea that you first encountered as a journalist and writer?
Korea was a very stiff place when I first arrived here. The environment was formal in terms of meetings, and it was aloof in terms of personal exchanges. Korea had had a strong military at the center of the political system and that culture made personal interactions and public events quite stiff. The changes over the last fifteen years have been astonishing. Now we have leaders who feel they need to respond to the needs of all citizens by being accessible and flexible. The recent mayoral election in Seoul was another indicator of increased political maturity. The election of Park Won Su confirms that voters clearly are interested in significant change and a more inclusive, more open, society. Such an attitude is a radical change from previous eras when the military set the style and rapid industrialization was the primary concern of most policy makers.
Many of your writings treat globalization in a historical context. That perspective is most welcome, especially for someone like myself who studied premodern history and culture.
Of course I am not an expert in Korean history. But I think we can attribute some of the problems to the degree to which the whims of one individual or other once decided the fate of a country. The Korean Joseon Kingdom's decision to keep out all foreigners can be seen largely as the personal whim of the King. In Korea, and in China, the decision-making process for policy was limited to a small group in the palace that could not effectively evaluate the full potential of not only their decisions, but also the challenges to be found in the West. There was plenty of smuggling and informal trade even then, but the nation remained closed to open trade.
One can see many examples of this autocratic response not only to external challenges, but also to internal innovation. Let us take the case of admiral Zheng He in the Ming Dynasty. At the beginning of the 15th century Zheng He built the world's most impressive navy at that time. His innovations and his fearless efforts brought about tremendous advancements in marine sciences and navigation in just one generation. His seven voyages through Southeast Asia and all the way to Africa established new potential trade routes and gave the Chinese confidence in their ability to conduct long-distance expeditions. China was then poised to become the major maritime power, but the advances of those twentyfive years were cast aside by a subsequent autocratic government and an ignorant emperor. China went back to being an empire facing inward. In the nineteenth century, when Europe was modernizing its navy, the Empress Dowager Cixi spent the navy's budget to build a pavilion shaped like a boat at the summer palace.
Looking at the global roles of China and India today in historical context is also interesting. In a sense, we can say that although such dominant roles for these nations seem quite alien to many in the West, they have merely regained the role that they played previously, even just a few centuries ago. But at the same time, it is a new world. China and India now have global interests, and a global cultural reach, that they have never had before.
Well, it is indeed a new world that we are witnessing, but that world is still rooted in the past. China and India together produced nearly half the world's gross domestic product in 1700. Both nations had substantial manufacturing bases far before anything in terms of sophistication or scale emerged in Europe. The Chinese were making cast iron in the fourteenth century and they exported it to Europe where such technologies did not exist. The Indians were also leaders in the development of high-quality steel. Both India and China focused on manufacturing technology, the process by which ceramics and silk are produced on a mass scale to high standards of quality. There was no such concept in feudal Europe. As a result, Indian textiles dominated the world until the Industrial Revolution. England had a chronic trade deficit with China through the middle of the nineteenth century.
India and China have certain inherent advantages now, and even back then. Their civilizations are ancient, and strong scholarly traditions in mathematics, engineering and administration served as the foundations for such manufacturing knowhow. And the large populations of these two nations, far beyond anything Europe was able to support before the second half of the 19th century, also offered distinct advantages. Since the 1990s, these two countries have managed to reclaim some of the economic dominance they had three hundred years ago. The scale that India and China work on is quite different than that which we find in the West, and this of course has its own advantages.
You have mentioned technology and its role in the development of Asia. It is clear that the ability of Koreans, and Asians in general, to effectively apply technology has been a major factor in their rise.
I think we find ourselves today on the threshold of a major technological revolution. The changes going on around us today are the equivalent of electrification in the 20th century. Of course electricity was discovered long before it had any practical impact on our lives. The potential for using electricity was there, but people had not figured out a way to design small electric generators, or to distribute electricity through a grid efficiently.
We are reaching the point at which microprocessors will be an essential part of every device. The next generation of network technology requires not only that every machine have an IP address, but also that they can be controlled and function based on the digital signal that they receive from the internet. This development means that we are moving towards a stage at which every device will be controlled by a small handset. The expansion of the internet into everyday products will open up a new horizon for innovation. Korea has taken the right steps to position itself for a major role in this new technological revolution. I think the development of personal technology that can mesh seamlessly with the Internet is the way of the future. Korea is poised to be a major player.
When I came to Korea in 2007, I saw many articles that suggested that Northeast Asia could achieve an economic integration along the lines of the European Union. But recent problems in the European Union have made such analogies rather unpopular. Asia will have to follow its own path. I think history remains a major factor in efforts to promote greater integration. How history is interpreted and how it is used in the political discourse of each nation can impact progress. What I find encouraging in the case of East Asia is that young people across Asia are speaking the same language, using similar terms and assumptions and wrestling with the same issues in the discourse of pop culture. For the next generation there is the potential to create a new dialogue less confined by historical issues of the past. A new Asia can emerge from that new discursive space.
The new presence of India and Southeast Asia in the global economy is slowly restructuring East Asia as well. Let us take the example of Sichuan Province in China. Sichuan was something of a backwater in China, far away from Beijing and not an economic powerhouse. But now Sichuan is benefiting immensely from its ties to India and Southeast Asia. Its geographical position has turned out to be a major asset rather than a liability. In the case of Korea, I know some Koreans who studied languages like Thai and Malay in the previous generation. At the time their work was perceived as obscure subject for academic inquiry. Now they find that they have immense opportunities.
I find that this massive geopolitical shift is best summed up by the growth of the airline industry. When I first came to Southeast Asia in the 1970s, traveling from Bangkok to any place in China was a matter of around one or two days of travel. There were no direct flights and those flights that were available were more often than not much delayed. You had to travel through Hong Kong and there were hassles at every turn. Now, if you go to the airport in Singapore, or Hong Kong, or Bangkok, there are direct flights to just about every major city.
We see listed on the big board for departures at airports around Asia the names of cities in Southeast Asia and Central Asia, regional China and Russia, that most people had not heard of just ten years ago. It is a new landscape indeed.
For someone like me who has watched Southeast Asia develop over the last forty years, the current state is quite astonishing.
In the case of China, issues like pollution are becoming quite serious concerns. At the moment of China's rise to global power, the number of wealthy Chinese who migrate to the United States and Canada is remarkable. They give as their reason quality of life. They cite pollution as an important factor. They simply do not want their children to grow up in a polluted environment. Of course the poor do not have such opportunities. Globalization is changing the nature of the process of development in unexpected ways. And that process is different from that of previous waves of globalization.

Q: What's with "The following line works around an ASP.NET compiler warning" in MVC Views? I did a quick search on SO for this and didn't come up with anything.
Doesn't
<%-- The following line works around an ASP.NET compiler warning --%>
<%: ""%>

seem like a bit of a hack?
what's the point of this, and is the MS Dev Team doing anything to work towards a resolve?

A: There is a writeup in the ASP.NET forums about this.  Without that line, you might get compiler warnings that look something like "__o is not declared".  This work around prevents those from ever appearing.
From the asp.net forums...
ASP.NET Forums

We have finally obtained reliable
  repro and identified the underlying
  issue. A trivial repro looks like
  this:
 <% if (true) { %>
<%=1%>
<% } %>
<%=2%>

In order to provide intellisense in <%= %> blocks at
  design time, ASP.NET generates
  assignment to a temporary __o variable
  and language (VB or C#) then provide
  the intellisense for the variable.
  That is done when page compiler sees
  the first <%= ... %> block.  But here,
  the block is inside the if, so after
  the if closes, the variable goes out
  of scope.  We end up generating
  something like this:
   if (true) {
        object @__o;
        @__o = 1;
   }
   @__o = 2;

The workaround is to add a dummy
  expression early in the page.  E.g.
  <%="" %>.  This will not render
  anything, and it will make sure that
  __o is declared top level in the Render method, before any potential
  'if' (or other scoping) statement.


At General Conference meetings in Houghton, NY this year, we are expecting a special guest of the Missionary Society from Zambia.

There is no known way to prevent polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). Researchers are still working to understand the underlying causes. However, there are steps you can take to prevent some of the worst consequences of the disorder — diabetes, uterine cancer, high blood pressure and high levels of blood lipids (a risk factor for heart disease).
If you do not menstruate, inducing menstruation should be a top priority. During menstruation, the endometrial lining is shed in response to the progestogen hormone. Without this shedding, your risk of uterine cancer rises significantly. Birth control pills, which combine estrogen and progestin, can restore regular periods. If you don't want to take a daily medication, a course of a progestogen may be prescribed about four times a year.
If you are overweight, losing weight is a big step toward lowering your risk for diabetes and heart disease. Losing weight can help restore regular periods and improve other hormonal imbalances, but weight loss is often an incomplete solution to PCOS.
Clinical trials are currently underway to identify the gene or genes that predispose individuals to PCOS. The discovery of a PCOS gene(s) will increase knowledge about this condition and potentially lead to better diagnostic testing and treatment.
