Grantland Rice (1880-1954) wrote, "For when the One Great Scorer comes to write against your name; He marks—not that you won or lost—but how you played the Game." Many sports figures have argued that it really matters whether you win or lose. "If winning isn't important, why keep score?" is one popular saying that shows the importance of winning.
"Whoever said, 'It's not whether you win or lose that counts,' probably lost" has been credited to the tennis player Martina Navratilova. Several sources (Newsweek, Forbes, Business Week, Scientific American) do not have digital full text available, but appear to indicate that Navratilova said her much-cited quote in 1987.

Home Business NESG's dialogue to focus on job creation
The Nigerian Economic Summit Group (NESG) has confirmed that dialogue in national transformation at this year's economic summit will focus on job creation, youth empowerment and entrepreneurship.
10 youths with outstanding business ideas with benefit of national interest will have the opportunity to get start-up grants at the 25th national economic summit slated for October 7 and 8 in Abuja.
NESG Chief Executive Officer, Laoye Jaiyeola, confirmed further that resource speakers from United Kingdom and China have been confirmed for the two-day summit.
Speaking at the official launch of NESG New Brand Identity in Lagos, Jaiyeola said this year's annual summit with the theme: 'Nigeria 2050: Shifting Gears' will focus on 2050 population prediction and the place of youths in the economy.
Jaiyeola said: "The theme for this year's summit became imperative to set a new agenda for Nigeria as we usher in the next industrial revolution and mark a critical strategic shift to a competitive private sector economy by 2050.
"Nigeria has the largest population in Africa, and it is growing at 3.2% a year. The U.S. Census Bureau says that at that rate, there will be an estimated 402 million people in Nigeria in 2050. If at this stage we have not economically benchmarked standard of living and economic prosperity as a nation what will happen when the population doubles?"
According to Chairman, NESG, Asue Ighodalo, the new brand identity is significant and a pathway to exciting new course that reflects renowned growth of economic prosperity for Nigeria at the global space with both public and private sector focus.
He said: "This new brand identity is an exciting change for the NESG. It represents our evolution from being the ad-hoc platform founded by top private sector players in the early 1990s.

This event marks the launch Parag Khanna's book; The Future is Asian: Global Order in the 21st Century. In the 19th century; the world was Europeanized. In the 20th century; it was Americanized. Now; in the 21st century; the world is being irreversibly Asianized. The "Asian Century" is even bigger than you think. Far greater than just China; the new Asian system taking shape is a multi-civilizational order spanning Saudi Arabia to Japan; and Russia to Australia—linking five billion people through trade; finance and infrastructure networks that together represent 40 percent of global GDP. China has taken a lead in building the new Silk Roads across Asia; but it will not lead it alone. Rather; Asia is returning to the stable multipolar order that existed long before European colonialism and American dominance; with India and Southeast Asia coming into their own as economic and strategic hubs. The world has gotten used to hearing "America First"—but is it ready for "Asia First"? Get ready to see the world; and the future; from the Asian point-of-view.


While anti-piracy agencies and mounting legal pressure have made many several pirated torrent websites close down its shutters, a new cryptocurrency startup has now come up with a novel idea to use blockchain technology to save and actively promote copyright content.
The startup will use QMC, a cryptocurrency, to create a decentralized database of torrent magnet links. Since the blockchain does not depend on a hosting service or domain name, it will be almost impossible to take down the torrent magnet links.
"While other existing services and plans are focusing on Pay-to-Seed, that is, paying for uploading the actual data of the files to people who are downloading, we are focused on the creation of a decentralized and searchable database of files to download. Think of it as a decentralized Pirate Bay," the QMC team told TorrentFreak.
QMC depends on its users to build the magnet database. To promote file sharing, the platform rewards users for sharing 'good' – i.e., working – magnet links. While submitting a link would cost the users 1 QMC, they can, however, get up to 5 QMC back after the end of month, for each magnet that is voted as good.
The cost of submitting a link concept will encourage people to share only working content and in turn, keep spammers at bay.
Although the project has just begun, it already has 25 working masternodes, reports TorrentFreak. Currently, only 10% of the masternode holders have to vote a working torrent as 'good' before making a payment.
The startup has made a software application called QMT that allows you to search for content at any given time. This includes working download torrent links to load magnets into any regular torrent client, along with a link to Instant.io that allows users to download or stream through WebTorrent.
Presently, there are over 5,000 magnet links in the magnet database. The QMC is currently "exploring partnerships with torrent sites" to expand it more quickly.
While there are claims that the QMC team is looking to actively promote copyright infringement, the QMC team emphasizes that the software and network itself is content neutral.
"We have no intention of copyright infringement, just like TRON doesn't for that matter – even though they want to pay users for seeding torrents," the QMC team told TorrentFreak pointing out at TRON's recent acquisition of BitTorrent.
In order to promote anonymity, the cryptocurrency wallet has built-in support feature for the Tor network – a powerful anonymizing service – that users can enable in the configuration file.
The QMC wallet and QMT search tool are available on Windows, Mac, and Linux. The group has plans to release the iOS and Android versions next year. The startup also has future plans, such as an API to link torrent sites to the QMC database, and the option for private torrent trackers to accept payments in QMC.
If you want more information and background on the project, you can check out the Bitcoin Talk forums, or the website.
Whether or not will the startup be able to deliver its promises, only time will. On the other hand, if the project manages to get popular and worldwide acceptance, it could turn out to be a nightmare for the entertainment industry around the globe.

I agree that the Democratic Convention has lifted my spirits. A friend needs to read your posts on Hillary. I told her today that her son had health care because of Hillary. She is leaning towards Trump because "he will have to do better when in office". Oh, that slays me. the predictor of future behavior is relevant recent past behavior. They are hoping Trump will change over decades of relevant past behavior that Hillary has shown us. I'll get her on a soft sell. I have time and Trump keeps talking.

In the short film That Night (2019), a young married couple attend an engagement party as a respite from their troubled home life. As the night progresses, however, they struggle to maintain both their relationship and their lives as the dangers behind the party hosts' friendly facade unravel.
That Night glitters with menacing tension, a captivating main cast, and an engaging plot. The atmosphere is tantalizingly dark and nightmarish, with an ominous tone that continues to increase throughout the film. Jennifer Nangle carries the film with her engrossing performance as Rachel, highlighting the complexity and emotion of the movie through her deeply expressive eyes, voice, and physicality. Garrett Lee's performance as Josh perfectly complements Nangle's performance as Rachel, allowing a sense of both frustration and love in every scene. The storyline, while brief, is both simple and creative, with an impressive attention to small details—which allow several scenes to be near-breathtaking in their execution.
Although That Night has a multitude of strengths, there are a couple of notable weaknesses. One is that one of the initial scenes moves a bit too slowly in comparison with the other scenes, which is particularly noticeable due to the short length of the film. While the scene is significant, it feels too indulgent in its lingering pauses and single setting. The plot, while involving, needs a more filled-out structure in order to bring a greater sense of satisfaction to its concept—of course, this extension may play out in a feature-length film, if this is the intention of the film's creators.
Overall, That Night is a noteworthy short horror film that has abundant potential for an expanded future.

With little over one month to the theatrical release of the long-awaited David Fincher love-and-death epic "The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button" finally the film gets picked up by news sources everywhere to get the hype rolling. We'll be glad to jump on board: Here's another short article by the L.A. Times!
Expectations are high. Not only because of the long time this project has been in development and due to the tremendous budget and long-winding post-production efforts on the film. But also because David Fincher has made a reputation for creating timeless movie-making masterpieces, with certainly "Se7en", "Fight Club" and his recent "Zodiac" standing out as quite remarkable works of Hollywood's recent 15 years.
"In the hands of director David Fincher and screenwriter Eric Roth, 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button,' based on a short story by F. Scott Fitzgerald and opening Dec. 25, has been turned into a dazzling somersault of a movie that tumbles easily over decades, strange and swoony and romantic and sad."
And adding to this, Olsen's photo-article features a total of four frames from the movie, portraying Brad Pitt's aging process, at least two of which I haven't seen anywhere else. David Fincher speaks about his concern and dedication to making the effects work in every frame, in order to allow the audience to truly empathize with the film's lead-character. And additionally, Academy Award winning make-up artist Greg Cannom comments on the aging effects he and his team have achieved with "it was absolutely shocking how beautiful it was".
Need more of these praising, expectations raising outlooks!

Book A Boogie wit da Hoodie
Genre:rap, hip-hop
Artist Julius Dubose, better known by his stage name A Boogie wit da Hoodie (or simply A Boogie), is an American rapper, singer, and songwriter from Highbridge, Bronx, New York City. He is signed to Highbridge the Label and Atlantic Records.
He is best known for his breakout solo single, "My Shit", from his debut mixtape Artist. Dubose released his first song when he was nineteen. The song, titled "Temporary" was produced by Myster Whyte.
The song took months to make due to Dubose's perceived lack of rap flow at the time. Dubose hired a singing coach to help improve his singing voice and soon finished "Temporary." In 2015, Dubose moved to New York in an attempt to start making hip-hop his full-time career.
He and rapper, Quincy "QP" Acheampong then created the Highbridge label and set up a home studio. A Boogie released his first full-length project, a mixtape titled Artist, in February 2016, which launched his career and was on Forbes list of up-and-coming rappers.
The mixtape was recorded during a time where Dubose was dealing with a difficult break-up which helped influence the mixtape and Dubose's future sound all together. Dubose then released a collaborative project, alongside fellow Highbridge-based rapper Don Q, titled Highbridge the Label: The Takeover Vol.
1, on May 18, 2016. Dubose went on to have three opening dates on Drake and Future's Summer Sixteen Tour. In July 2016, A Boogie signed a deal with Atlantic Records. In September 2016, he was featured on the BET Hip Hop Awards cypher alongside Don Q, Russ, Kent Jones and Nick Grant.
Later in October 2016, A Boogie released his first extended play (EP), titled TBA, in acronym for "The Bigger Artist". The EP peaked at number 63 on the US Billboard 200 chart and appeared on Rolling Stone magazine's 40 Best Rap Albums of 2016 list.
On June 13, 2017, Dubose was named as one of the ten of XXL's "2017 Freshman Class". On September 29, 2017, he released his debut studio album, The Bigger Artist, featuring guest appearances from Chris Brown, Trey Songz, Kodak Black, 21 Savage, PnB Rock and YoungBoy Never Broke Again.
The album's lead single, "Drowning" featuring Kodak Black, has peaked at number 38 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and became his highest charting single in the country so far. He released his second studio album, Hoodie Szn, in December 2018, and the album went on to hit #1 on the Billboard 200 chart.

Coral reefs have emerged as one of the ecosystems most vulnerable to climate variation and change. vulnerability affected by geography but not management regime. Existing no-take marine protected areas still support high biomass of fish, however they had no positive affect on the ecosystem response to large-scale disturbance. This suggests a need for future conservation and management efforts to identify and protect regional refugia, which should be integrated into existing management frameworks and combined with policies to improve system-wide resilience to climate variation and change. Introduction Coral reefs are one of the ecosystems most threatened by climate variability and change C. Reef corals, the building blocks of carbonate reefs, have a restricted thermal tolerance, resulting in bleaching events (loss of symbiotic algae) when sea surface temperatures rise above a given threshold . This has contributed LATS1 to widespread loss of live coral cover C, the restructuring of benthic community composition  and has resulted in dire predictions for the future persistence of coral-dominated ecosystems within decadal time scales , . There is now a need to understand resultant large-scale implications buy Posaconazole for other components of the ecosystem, which, to date, have received limited attention or been the focus of local studies C. Assessing ecosystem trends and patterns at regional scales is necessary if informed management choices are to be made that will mitigate the effects of large-scale climate disturbance. Importantly, there is a need to test key paradigms, such as the ability of no-take areas (NTAs) to enhance recovery from climate change impacts , and the potential for herbivorous fish to increase in abundance following coral mortality and functionally compensate for increased algal coverage . At large scales, remote pristine areas may have a greater capacity to absorb climate impacts and maintain a coral dominated and diverse ecosystem . However, most coral reef NTAs are small and embedded in heavily fished and degraded environments , . Assessing the importance of local management for conserving coral reefs in the context of global change has been identified as a key research challenge for coral reef scientists . Although there are expectations that NTAs will promote resilience and faster recovery from climate disturbance , site-specific studies suggest this may not be the case , , , and the effectiveness of such management needs to be assessed across regional spatial scales. Grazing by herbivores, by creating space for invertebrate larval settlement, is thought to be key to maintaining reefs in a coral dominated state , , . However, it is increasingly evident that the majority of herbivorous fish in the Indo-Pacific will crop turf algae, but feed less on or avoid erect macroalgae once it has developed , . Following large-scale disturbances that open up large amounts of space on reefs, such as mass coral bleaching, herbivores may become swamped by the biomass of the new algal resource  and reefs can progress on a trajectory to macroalgal dominance . It is therefore important to assess whether herbivorous reef fish increase in abundance following large-scale coral loss and thus have the ability to prevent reefs from becoming dominated by erect macroalgae. Coral mortality through climate induced bleaching was particularly severe in the Indian Ocean in 1998, with 45% of coral cover lost across the region , although the effects were spatially variable , . We assess the longer-term effects of this event in fished areas and NTAs across 7 countries, 66 sites and 26 degrees of latitude. Specifically, we conducted a targeted research program whereby the original investigators who collected comprehensive buy Posaconazole buy Posaconazole benthic and fish assemblage data from Maldives, Chagos, Seychelles, Kenya, Tanzania, Mauritius, and Runion in the mid-1990s repeated their surveys post-bleaching, in 2005. We use continuous model Bayesian meta-analysis to quantify effects of changes in live coral cover and physical complexity of reefs on the diversity, size structure, trophic structure and abundance of reef fish. The Bayesian approach not only structures the inherent uncertainty in monitoring data from multiple sources, but also allows belief buy Posaconazole statements to be made regarding future change . With ever more frequent bleaching events predicted , quantitative predictions regarding how fish will respond to future declines in coral cover over large spatial scales are needed to guide regional conservation planning, adaptation and mitigation strategies. Results Change in hard coral cover across the region between the.

From 'the Great Resignation' to 'the Great Reimagination'
To prepare for a future in which crisis may be business as usual, companies have an opportunity to shift their thinking on talent and many other aspects of work.
Many senior executives are struggling with an urgent talent crisis: the Great Resignation. The COVID-19 pandemic has induced waves of people to quit their jobs, seemingly in search of more meaning, more money, and more flexibility, among other wish-list items. The labor and skills shortage is now so severe that CEOs rank it as the No. 1 external issue they expect to influence or disrupt their business strategy within the next 12 months.
But there's an upside to this upheaval. The steps companies take now to stop the bleeding can also stand them in good stead for an even bigger shift. Call it the Great Reimagination: a fundamental reexamination of workplace systems that can help businesses weather the future shocks sure to arise.
"As organizations act to retain and attract talent today, they can also lay the groundwork for the Great Reimagination that's on the horizon," says Jonathan Pearce, a principal with Deloitte Consulting LLP.
Here are four key shifts to consider.
From Jobs to Skills
Companies should shift from thinking that the best way to connect people with work is through static jobs to reimagining work as a landscape of tasks and skills that dynamically evolves with business priorities.
Identify adjacent skills. To expand the candidate pool, look at skills and adjacent skills instead of academic degrees or previous experience. About 46% of high-performing organizations work to identify adjacent skills to inform reskilling programs, while only 26% of other organizations do. Consider Avionos: To address the Great Resignation, the digital commerce and marketing solutions company looks for generalists instead of specialists to expand its candidate pool and trains new hires on the enterprise's best practices and methodologies.
Use AI. Leverage AI to enable recruiters to find candidates with the skills for specific needs, while being careful of AI bias.
Seek out untapped capabilities. Companies can build nimbler workforce capacity by gaining a deeper understanding of the skills they have on board, so they can quickly match expertise with business needs and move talent to high-priority areas. One approach is to introduce AI-powered opportunity marketplaces that divide work into tasks, projects, or roles that can be matched with people from anywhere in the organization.
From Employees to Workforce Ecosystems
Larger, more diverse, and dynamic workforce ecosystems can be pivotal to an organization's ability to thrive but likely require revising management and talent practices.
Tap a broader talent pool. To fill urgent business needs, reach out beyond your employees to contractors, gig workers, organizational partners, or even AI and automation. To develop its COVID-19 vaccine in record time, for example, pharmaceutical giant AstraZeneca mobilized employees into cross-functional tiger teams rather than according to functional expertise. But it also tapped its ecosystem, collaborating with academia and regulatory agencies and employing new ways of working. Although 46% of organizations are now using online platforms to access external talent, far fewer have robust practices to enable external workers to ramp up quickly to productivity.
Rearchitect critical work streams. Identify the outcomes to be achieved—then get creative about the resources needed to produce them. This tactic can also help leaders recognize the key capabilities required to drive future growth and prioritize workforce segments based on the skills necessary to drive it.
Explore untapped talent segments. When hiring, consider such segments as alumni, workers who have taken career breaks to be caregivers, people in untapped geographies who can work remotely, the long-term unemployed, immigrants and refugees, and those with physical disabilities or neurodiversity challenges. The German IT and software corporation SAP, which introduced its Autism at Work program in 2013, says it has a 90% retention rate among employees on the autism spectrum.
From Flex Work to Flex Everything
Companies should move from a focus on engaging employees for the benefit of the company to creating value for workers as whole human beings and key stakeholders.
Conduct a pay audit and adjust pay to ensure compensation is fair in a rapidly evolving market. Consider spot bonuses for hot skills to quickly keep pace. But research shows that money isn't everything. Greater choice, flexibility, and stronger relationships at work are also important, as are expanded opportunities for promotions. More than twice as many respondents to a recent survey say it's easier to get a new job outside their organization than within it.
Offer to flex the "where" of work—e.g., with hybrid work models—and the "why" of work—e.g., offering options to perform work aligned with people's personal motivations. When one company recently introduced a flex program that empowers employees to make decisions about where and how they could work, engagement and productivity increased. Additionally, let people disconnect from work at designated times and ensure managers and leaders model similar behavior. That should also involve training managers for hybrid work so they focus on outcomes, not in-office face time.
Flex the "what" of work. Let employees carve out a portion of their jobs for a project outside of their core job responsibilities related to their passion or to learning desires—and then recognize them for it.
From Prediction to Rapid Experimentation
In an increasingly complex and unpredictable world, companies should stop trying to predict the future and instead develop an ongoing culture of experimentation, testing, learning, and iteration—creating incremental change over time to allow for constant adjustments.
Use the data you have now to develop insights into the root causes of attrition. Leverage newly available data from the "digital bread crumbs" of remote work performed on digital platforms to identify the people whose departures could cause a disproportionate loss of value. Then target these vital players with appropriate retention activities.
Engage in predictive modeling and scenario planning; for instance, analyze various employee-employer relationship scenarios. For those who lack a strong analytics capability, harness internal skills (offering up the marketing function's analytics skills, for example) or external partnerships.
Focus on launching experiments to learn rapidly and build organizational momentum, communicating success and failures along the way. And place clear guiding principles, rather than vague pronouncements, at the center of any experimentation. "Companies that have done this better have based their experimentation on foundational organizational values," Pearce says.
In the last two years, the world has faced a series of crises—COVID-19, the accelerating impacts of climate change, a reckoning with racial inequity. Addressing the next, inevitable crisis and preparing for the Great Reimagination will likely require a fundamental change at the highest levels—a long-term, sustainable, cross-functional collaboration across the C-suite. Says Pearce, "HR can't do this alone."

The Sigma 15mm f2.8 EX DG Fisheye Lens Nikon Fit is a full-frame fisheye auto focus lens that fills the entire 35mm negative with a full 180 degree diagonal field of view. This unique lens enables you to create a variety of unusual compositions even when shooting ordinary subjects. The improved DG lens coating reduces flare and ghosting, which is a common problem of digital cameras, and also creates an optimum colour balance. Since most Digital SLR cameras use a smaller image sensor size (APS-C) than 35mm film cameras, 180 degree angle-of-view can not be obtained with Digital SLR cameras. With those cameras only the center part of the frame is used, therefore, peripheral distortion will be very small. The super wide angle of this lens makes it ideal for use with digital SLR cameras, providing a focal view of approximately 23mm.

Trade.io, a cryptocurrency exchange and investment company, has acquired British brokerage firm Primus Capital Markets Ltd for an undisclosed amount. The new subsidiary is to start trading foreign currency using digital assets as base currency under a new name, TIO Markets. Initially, customers will be able to make deposits and withdrawals in bitcoin core, ethereum, litecoin and tiox, the exchange's own token, to trade on the forex platform.
"The acquisition of Primus Capital Markets will allow the company the opportunity to aggressively expand into the U.K. and the European region," Trade.io chief executive officer Jim Preissler said in an online statement on Nov. 8.
With an FCA regulated business, it provides management the opportunity to display to our clients we are striving for a higher standard and welcoming regulation instead of avoiding it.
European brokers have in recent months faced a difficult time after the introduction of new rules under the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (Mifid). In the U.K., for example, commissions paid to brokers fell 28 percent during the first quarter of this year compared to the same period a year earlier, and by 30 percent across Europe, according to a report by the Financial Times.
Primus Capital Markets has extensive experience in the foreign currency industry and (we have) built a significant database of traders that will benefit from this relationship. This was a natural fit for both firms.
McDowell sits on the Trade.io board and advised on the company's $30 million initial coin offering earlier this year. Trade.io is a Hong Kong-registered company that offers investors the option to trade cryptocurrency through an exchange. It also provides initial coin offerings advisory as well as digital currency-related investments.
What do you think about this deal? Let us know in the comments section below.

There's no way of saying this nicely. Service contracts can be a massive pain for expats in Germany.
Because they're so bloody inflexible. The customer, sadly, is a long, long way from being king. A long way even from being the guy who polishes the king's shoes, in fact.
I'm not talking about the complaint frequently made by expats in Germany about poor customer service, although this definitely also leaves a lot to be desired. We're not going to get into that debate here, although I will definitely say that it's a valid one.
No, I'm talking instead about the very limited opportunities one has to cancel and get out of existing contracts. To anyone coming from English-speaking countries, where flexible contracts, a service mentality and "the customer is always right" ethos is a way of life, German contracts can often feel like they're written in blood.
The major difference between signing up for a contract in most English-speaking nations versus signing up for some or other service in Germany (and Austria and Switzerland too) is that contracts here are typically evergreen i.e. they don't automatically expire or terminate.
In plain English that means service providers have expats in Germany by the short-and-curlies. They determine when and under what circumstances you're allowed to terminate your service contract, NOT you.
Whereas in English-speaking countries, typically, when you sign up for something, it's for a fixed period of time and with a definitive end date. If you wish to renew under the same conditions, that's up to you, but typically YOU would need to initiate that discussion.
Fine, you say, it's OK. It's a minor inconvenience that I have to tell my service provider that I wish to cancel a contract. No big deal.
I would agree, if it were so simple.
Here are some typical contracts you may have signed that renew automatically for another year if you don't pro-actively cancel them at a certain stipulated time.
For unsuspecting newbie expats in Germany, it's a perfectly understandable and common mistake to make. If you've already signed one or more of these contracts, then hopefully it's not too late to send them a cancellation notice. Do it now, before you forget!
Don't sign anything that you don't understand. If a salesperson is pushing you to sign something, then it's probably a bad deal. Good deals generally sell themselves.
Or, use services such as Fiverr or Upwork to get a cheap, basic translation. For a more comprehensive legal translation of a contract, you can get quick, professional online service via our partners at LingoKing.
Tip: Save yourself some money and just get the clause entitled Kündigung (termination) or Vertragsdauer (contract duration) translated. If it's only around 100 words, this should cost you a lot less. You don't necessarily need a certified translator – just a competent German speaker.
Cross out the clause in the contract and initial the changes, asking them to do the same. You're the customer. Don't be afraid to remind them of that. Walk away if they refuse…their loss. One day this country's business owners will comprehend who pays their bills for them.
Ask if there is an option which doesn't have this clause and say that it' s a deal breaker. You have more negotiating power than you think.
Don't let the language barrier put you off. Use your perceived weakness to your advantage and just be stubborn and insist.
Clearly you can't dictate the terms of business for contracts with the likes of Vodafone and Deutsche Bahn.
After you've signed the contract, immediately send them a termination notice and request that they have confirmed receipt. A downloadable termination letter for many different types of contract can be downloaded here.
Ensure that you follow up with them to acknowledge your termination. Without an acknowledgement, legally speaking it's difficult to conclusively prove that they received your cancellation letter.
The law states that contract termination notices must contain a signature. Therefore you should be OK to send a PDF file which contains an actaul signature.
Some service providers may still ask for correspondence to be by post. Most of them will still respond with a formal letter rather than an email.
They may cite data protection reasons for this. The reality is that most of them are just old-fashioned businesses who have been slow to embrace the technology everybody uses today. The cynic in me says it's just another tactic to make termination of a contract that little more inconvenient.
Good luck out there and don't get stung out of ignorance. Be informed, be assertive and stay savvy!
Germany that have realized that customers (esp. younger/international people) won't accept long-term contracts anymore. However I agree, it's still a long way to go but in the end we as customers can have an impact by choosing wisely with whom we make business.


During the colder months, I love to serve a variety of warm holiday drinks, some with alcohol; some without. I usually set up an special area in my kitchen when I entertain so guests can serve themselves.
In addition to my coffee pot, I have a couple of Bunn Airpots that I use. If you are going to invest in an Airpot, make sure you buy a name brand, like Bunn.
I have been very disappointed with off-brand airpots in the past. The pump mechanism on one of them broke after a couple of uses and the glass insert on another one shattered when I filled it with ice. I have not had a single problem with my Bunn Airpots.
In addition to offering a coffee bar, find some international coffee recipes here that can be served with or without alcohol. Try the recipe for Viennese coffee with a shot of Frangelico or the Mexican coffee with a vanilla vodka. Don't forget the whipped cream!
Your guests will love this recipe for non-alcoholic Warm Christmas Punch at any time of the year.
Another great non-alcoholic choice is homemade spiced cider. Simmering in a slow cooker makes your home smell heavenly throughout the day and into the evening.
Personally, my favorites are Hot Chocolate with a shot of Peppermint Schnapps and Chai Tea topped with whipped cream and sprinkled with cinnamon. Yum!

Letter of Commendation from Attorney General, Terry Goddard "State of the Art Facility - Effective Adaptive Reuse of City Property".
The project consisted of remodeling an existing 70,000 SF warehouse building purchased by the City of Tucson in an industrial area of town. The program called for incorporating 50,000 SF for the Evidence Storage Division and about 20,000 SF for the Identification Division Crime Scene Unit, Latent Print labs, AFIS unit, and photo studio. The overall building design was conceived as an onion of layered hard and soft security measures to protect both the primarily civilian staff and the evidence itself. The existing envelope is a tilt up concrete structure which provides a good first line of hardened defense; the openings in the existing envelope were in-filled with masonry, security mesh, and bullet resistant glazing to maintain the integrity of the overall envelope. Once within the outer perimeter, there is a secondary hardened security perimeter to gain access to the evidence storage warehouse, once within the secondary perimeter there is a third level of hardened security to protect the high value/ high threat evidence items (drugs, guns, and money), again all access points are hardened and protected by a card access door control system, and video surveillance. The Evidence Division has implemented an evidence tracking system over the last several years, and they needed a facility that would support the protocol required by the BEAST as well as the protocol required to sustain the chain of evidence in the eyes of the judicial system. High density storage systems, integrated security systems, cameras and biometric access control are just some of the complex systems in the facility. A loading dock was provided within a secure parking area for the loading and unloading of large amounts of evidence, or for the loading of items for disposal. Again several layers of security are provided to protect the staff and the evidence. All of the intake and disposal staging areas are designed like sally ports or air locks. The interior doors to the warehouse have to be closed for the outer bay doors to be open and vice versa, this keeps the secure perimeter intact at all times.

Prediction: H1B Visa Threatens Domestic Tech Workers
By Natalina Schappach / October 11, 2018 November 17, 2018 / Predictions
Status: Uncertain
Prediction: H1B Visa Threatens Domestic Tech Sector
"The New Republic made an interesting connection between all these unpaid taxes and nonstop lobbying for cheaper, indentured H1-B tech workers. This is the same thing manufacturing companies successfully lobbied for in the 80's. In the short term, they lowered costs. In the long term, they wiped out domestic jobs and hobbled consumer purchasing power for their own products. It's the business version of self-mutilation.
Flooding the tech labor market with cheaper foreign talent might help with short-term staffing, but ultimately it will lower all tech wages. Why invest in domestic education when you can go to India's 24/7 Brain Mart for a quick fix? Add to that tax gamesmanship and our focus on bombs not brains. It's a formula for losing tech while it's still here. Very shortsighted."
And I favor immigration — but not at the expense of long-term competitiveness.
First Manufacturing, Now It's Bye Bye Tech, 2013
Prescription: Domestic Jobs Strategy
A domestic competitiveness strategy…This is where a framework of immigration strategy and domestic education should be created
Since writing this in 2013, companies like Disney, replaced domestic workers with cheaper H1B hires. While the The Trump Administration has not articulated a strategy for developing domestic workers, they have made it much more difficult to import workers by requesting evidence that no comparable domestic talent exists.
Trump's "Hire American" order makes it harder to get H-1B visas, Jul 2018
There was a 41% increase in denials between the 3rd and 4th quarter — from 15.9% in Q3 to 22.4% Q4.
In Q3 2017, 23% of completed cases required "requests for evidence" (RFE). That number jumped to 69% in the Q4.
The last quarter under the Obama administration (Q1 2017) only had RFE for 17% of cases, compared to the 69% at the end of Trump's first fiscal year.
Indian H-1B applicants saw even stricter scrutiny in the last quarter, with 72% of their applications requiring additional evidence in Q4, compared to 61% of other nationalities.
Ex-Disney IT Workers Sue After Being Asked To Train Their Own H-1B Replacements 2016
"Two former IT workers at Disney have sued, saying that Disney broke the law when it hired cheaper foreign replacements, then fired its current IT department. Disney IT employees were told they would be kept on for 90 days in order to train their replacements, who were H-1B visa holders, according to the complaints. The workers were told "if they did not stay and train they would not get a bonus and severance, which most employees reluctantly accepted."
The Tech Talent Shortage Is a Lie 2015
The Replacements 2017
"She announced that they were going to outsource all of IT infrastructure and development to two companies, Infosys and Tata," recalled Diangelo. Temporary workers in the US on H-1B visas would arrive, and the Eversource employees would need to train their replacements. "She was saying that they needed to bring over global workers, global workers were more adaptable, [and] can adapt to change a lot faster than Americans can." Left unsaid was that the new workers would reportedly be getting less than half the salary of those they were replacing, and few if any health and retirement benefits."
Outsourced: In A Twist, Some San Francisco IT Jobs Are Moving To India 2016
"In San Francisco, companies will pay six-figure salaries to entry-level tech workers from all over the world. So this might come as a surprise: A public university there is laying off some of its own IT staff and sending their jobs to a contractor with headquarters in India."
It's not just foreign threats, it's domestic ones! In Amazon's "search" for its new HQ (that many speculate was a ruse to maximize concessions from the places they were going to choose anyway), the tech talent gap was exposed. Cities that bid never really had a shot because they are badly lagging in tech talent. They will continue to lose jobs of the future, unless they catch up.
This Dallas case study is the perfect illustration of America's underinvestment in domestic tech talent:
Educators, mayor see Amazon's jilting of Dallas as a call to action for tech education, Nov, 2018
Amazon figures to receive billions in incentives to plant offices in the Washington, D.C., and New York City areas, but the company said a key factor in its decision was also those cities' deep STEM — science, technology, engineering and mathematics — talent pools.
"The Amazon proposal was a bit of a complete shock to the system in terms of its scale and its need," Owusu said. "We didn't have 50,000 computer scientists sitting around. That's certainly something we continue to focus on."

SILCHAR, Dec 21 - In a letter sent to Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal, members of All Cachar Karimganj Hailakandi Students' Association (ACKHSA) on Monday made an appeal to cancel the transfer order of Cachar Deputy Commissioner S Vishwanathan.
Terming the move to transfer Vishwanathan as CEO of Guwahati Metropolitan Department and Guwahati Smart City and also as the Project Director of AUIIP by the Personnel Department (A) on December 14 as unprecedented, leaders of the students' bodies said that the Cachar Deputy Commissioner has been working tirelessly for making Cachar a clean district, both in terms of garbage and also curbing corruption. He has also taken stringent measures following the Government norms to free encroached portions of Silchar from the clutches of land mafias, which gave people of the district a huge sigh of relief in the recent past.
"We are all taken aback by the decision to transfer the Deputy Commisioner. The move brought back memories of the transfer of former Deputy Commissioner HM Cairea, who had initiated a similar drive during the mid-80s, but was removed from his duties," said Rupam Nandi Purkayastha, chief advisor of the association. He made it clear that if the Government fails to cancel the transfer order with immediate effect, they shall stage a massive agitation and expose the unscrupulous elements as well.
It may be mentioned that Barnali Deka, who is currently working as Joint Secretary in the Health and Family Welfare Department has been named as the new Deputy Commissioner of Cachar.


Gas Powered Games is best known for the Total Annihilation, Dungeon Siege and Supreme Commander games, and one of the most notable men behind their games is CEO/Creative Director Chris Taylor. In an interview with ComputerAndVideoGames.com, Taylor shares his unique view on game development, especially the brainstorming phase.
"[The] toilet is great for me. Shower is the best. I get most of my ideas in the shower," Taylor said, "because I'm relaxed."
The charismatic Taylor spoke on various topics such as episodic gaming, sequels, standalone expansions, his love of BioShock and Lego Star Wars, but in this interview the most interesting story is the man himself. "I'm very hyper. Always have been, since I was very young." Taylor said, "My parents worried about me when I was young—worried whether something was wrong." Taylor was quick to comment that he is also "...very cerebral. I tend to think deeply about everything."
The interview also touches on the energy draining effect of most games versus the energy recharging effects that some newer games are utilizing. This line of thought, naturally, lead Taylor to expound on the zen of lawn mowing, "I don't think about steering and gas and cutting grass... I think about life. I think about work. I think about things I have to do. I recharge. I re-create. Not recreate. RE-create. I charge my batteries up."


Whether teching your way up a run-out granite slab or hucking laps on the splitters at Indian Creek, the Aspect is an engineered trad climbing machine. Built with the highest grade European leather upper, the Aspects balance comfort with performance using innovative designs that subtly set it apart. Lace up a pair and you'll notice that the leather upper slightly covers the laces on the outside of the foot—specifically designed for protection during abrasive jamming. The shoe's tongue is made from our Engineered Knit Technology, which adds breathability and comfort. The knit also extends to the outside of the shoe to just under the rand line to offer extra padded protection for foot jams. The lateral stabilizer rands increase precision by keeping your foot from rolling when pressure is applied to the outside or inside edges. The Aspect's stiff and durable NeoFriction Force rubber is unique in that it's molded—inspired by the way we forge our carabiners—and not cut from one sheet of rubber. This is our engineered solution to optimize our shoe's rubber and rands for weight, consistency and comfort. The Aspect's medium-flex midsole adds support without sacrificing comfort. So next time you're eyeing that trad line, consider the Aspects a part of your rack.

Week commencing 6th December 2019
Labour closing the gap!
LABOUR is closing the gap on the Tory lead in the opinion polls as the minor parties are squeezed out with less than a fortnight to go until polling day. Labour has published secret documents which show that the Tories are indeed ready to pawn the health service to the big American pharmaceutical companies as part of a post-Brexit trans-Atlantic trade deal.
The Tory smear campaign went into top gear when the Zionist Chief Rabbi, Ephraim Mirvis, said that Corbyn had done nothing to combat the alleged "anti-Semitism" in the Labour party in order to rally the Jewish community he claims to represent behind the Tory banner. And the Liberal-Democrats are trying to boost their flagging fortunes by posing as the only force that can stop Brexit happening.
When the campaign began Jeremy Corbyn ruled out the 'tactical voting' that the Liberal-Democrats elevate to favour their own candidates and dismissed the idea of any alliance with the Scottish National Party (SNP) or the other smaller parties in the event of a hung parliament. But many believe that an accommodation with the Scottish nationalists may become irresistible if Labour fails to win an overall majority in the next parliament.
The SNP clearly think so and they've already laid down their price for propping up a future Labour government. A few months ago a second referendum on the European Union (EU) was top of the list — but Labour has already conceded that in its election manifesto. Now SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon's minimum demands include ending austerity, removing nuclear weapons from Scotland and a second independence referendum in 2020.
Meanwhile, Labour hopes were boosted with the news that a record number of people registered to vote on the final day applications were open this week. Tory pundits fear this surge will largely benefit Labour, as it did in 2017. A total of 659,666 applications were made on Tuesday, with 4.1 million registered to vote in the last five weeks — over a million more than in the same period for the 2017 general election.
This week Jeremy Corbyn told the media that the NHS would be up for grabs if the Tories win the election. At a press conference in London on Wednesday he produced a leaked secret dossier containing hundreds of pages of minutes of six meetings between British and American officials on the fate of the health service under a new Anglo-American free-trade deal, which Boris Johnson says will more than compensate for any losses incurred when Britain leaves the EU.
dismissed charges
Tory leader Boris Johnson has repeatedly dismissed charges that his government is ready to sell the NHS to the American drug corporations. He said Labour's claims were "completely untrue" and there were "no circumstances whatever" in which the NHS would be on the table in a post-Brexit trade deal.
The Tories don't deny the accuracy of the minutes but say they merely reflect what the Americans want rather than what the May and Johnson governments were prepared to give them. Johnson, meanwhile, says Labour's claims are "total nonsense" and that he can give an "absolute cast iron guarantee" the NHS would not be on the table in trade talks with the Trump administration.
But these papers reveal that the Americans want "total market access" to the health service "market" when Britain leaves the EU. The 451 pages of documents cover six rounds of talks in Washington and London that were held from July 2017 to mid-2019.
"The uncensored documents leave Boris Johnson's denials in absolute tatters," Corbyn said. "We have now got evidence that under Boris Johnson the NHS is on the table and will be up for sale. He tried to cover it up in a secret agenda and today it has been exposed."

title: Data model
sort_rank: 1
---

# Data model

Prometheus fundamentally stores all data as [_time
series_](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_series): streams of timestamped
values belonging to the same metric and the same set of labeled dimensions.
Besides stored time series, Prometheus may generate temporary derived time series
as the result of queries.

## Metric names and labels
Every time series is uniquely identified by its _metric name_ and a set of
_key-value pairs_, also known as _labels_.

The _metric name_ specifies the general feature of a system that is measured
(e.g. `http_requests_total` - the total number of HTTP requests received). It
may contain ASCII letters and digits, as well as underscores and colons. It
must match the regex `[a-zA-Z_:][a-zA-Z0-9_:]*`.

Labels enable Prometheus's dimensional data model: any given combination of
labels for the same metric name identifies a particular dimensional
instantiation of that metric (for example: all HTTP requests that used the
method `POST` to the `/api/tracks` handler). The query language
allows filtering and aggregation based on these dimensions. Changing any label
value, including adding or removing a label, will create a new time series.

Label names may contain ASCII letters, numbers, as well as underscores. They
must match the regex `[a-zA-Z_][a-zA-Z0-9_]*`. Label names beginning with `__`
are reserved for internal use.

Label values may contain any Unicode characters.

See also the [best practices for naming metrics and labels](/docs/practices/naming/).

## Samples
Samples form the actual time series data. Each sample consists of:

   * a float64 value
   * a millisecond-precision timestamp

## Notation
Given a metric name and a set of labels, time series are frequently identified
using this notation:

    <metric name>{<label name>=<label value>, ...}

For example, a time series with the metric name `api_http_requests_total` and
the labels `method="POST"` and `handler="/messages"` could be written like
this:

    api_http_requests_total{method="POST", handler="/messages"}

This is the same notation that [OpenTSDB](http://opentsdb.net/) uses.

Thanjavur – The Last Remains of the Chola Empire
After the two main cities in Tamil Nadu, which are important for their cultural significance to the country, this post covers another city which could in fact be more important than the two previously covered. The city of Tanjavur triggers musical bells and temple bells.
The importance arises from its prominence of being the capital city of the Chola empire. The entire city is one of the most planned and executed cities of the medieval era, and a lot of credit goes to the King Raja Raja Cholan.
The Cholas were responsible for kindling and keeping alive the arts of Tamil Nadu by way of constructing many mahals and temples that supported the work of the artists. One such mahal is the Sangeetha Mahal, which houses musicians and handicraft artisans, all year long.
Big Temple
The Brihadeeswarar temple or the Big temple as it called in the news frequently, is one of them in attractions from around the world.
Apart from its intricate, detailed, and well-planned out construction, there are other reasons for this attraction. The entire temple is constructed out of granite and during the time it was built (11th century), there were no viable transport facilities available, and yet the only source of granite was Tiruchirappalli, which was 60 km away. Yet, without any modern inventions, the temple tower stands 66m high. The architecture of the temple and the layout is amazing and exceptional.
Manimandappam
On the 1000th birth anniversary of Raja Raja Chola"s birthday, a mandapam (hall) was constructed for a museum for the Chola regime artifacts.
The Manimandappam, along with its garden, is a tourist attraction, and the museum houses statues, paintings, sculptures, and coins. To completely talk about the Thanjavur paintings, we"ll need a separate post, but I"ll try to make its significance as apparent possible in the following section.
Thanjavur paintings
This is one of the arts that is rapidly losing its experts and to buy this, there are more and more students who arrive at Thanjavur to learn this unique and intricate art technique. The paintings are mainly for sale to tourists who recognize the uniqueness. But one has to be warned that consider the huge demand for these paintings, there are a number of rip-off artists currently at work. One way to ensure authenticity is to browse online sites. Another is to ask directly at the Big temple as the dynamic nature of the locations do not allow for a simple answer. Online references – http://www.poompuhar.org/
Gangaikonda Cholapuram
Another equally magnificent temple is in the Gangaikonda Cholapuram. Though this is not in Tanjavur and is away by one and a half hours journey, it is a vital place to visit once you have come this close to it.
The village houses the remains of Raja Raja Cholan palace and the temple tower whose architectural mysteries surpass that of the Big temple. The engineering marvel is that the temple tower"s shadow never reaches the ground and is always upon itself. The feat must have taken careful measurements and innovation, both of which seem out of place in the 11th century period.
Tanjavur takes you back to history and you can not stop wondering how knowledgeable, efficient and perfect the engineering knowledge of the people of those days were.
