The Bar has run through every team that has set foot in front of them. From the Club to the Hardyz, to the Shield, the Bar has come out on top in the end.
This week, the Bar put another team down in the Revival. Dawson and Wilder, after Sheamus and Cesaro said there is no one left for them to beat, challenged them to a match on Monday Night Raw.
The Top Guys felt they could overthrow the 4-time champs, and put on a good fight. However, Cesaro's Neutralizer put an end to the Revival's dreams tonight, leaving the Bar with no one else to beat.
However, it seems that a certain Beast of Belfast is ready to step up to the plate.
With WrestleMania upon us, and no one left to face, could the Bar take on an up and coming team like SAnitY? The former NXT Tag Team Champions are currently in the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic, looking to leave NXT Takeover: Orlando as two-time champions.
However, maybe they plan on leaving Wrestlemania weekend with an extra set of titles. If Sheamus and Cesaro are looking for some tough competition, it's harder to find a deadlier team than SAnitY.

I SERIOUSLY debated cancelling my private health insurance recently. When the renewal notice arrived in the post I did a double-take at the size of the bill, cross-checked the increase — which was almost 20pc — and gulped.
Value for money it wasn't. In fact, it struck me as a hefty charge to cover what I regarded as an insubstantial risk. You can never discount the danger, but I'm still reasonably young and healthy (touch wood).
Reviewing the article immediately reminded me of a conversation that I had with my wife's cousin, a doctor in a community hospital. I spoke with him over the holidays and asked him his take on the propsects for healthcare reform and legislation here in our country.
Washington may think the "payoff politics as usual" is justified under the guise of working toward goals, but I would beg to differ. In my opinion, the payoffs garnered by Senators Ben Nelson (D-NE), Chris Dodd (D-CT), and Mary Landrieu (D-LA) are emblematic of the broken political process in America.
Why is it that citizens of some states are not required to pay the same freight as citizens of all other states? Why is it that citizens of some states garner 'special' benefits and advantages not accorded to citizens of all other states?
I do not doubt for a second that this 'payoff politics' has been going on for a lot longer than we may appreciate. I would also maintain that a significant portion of our fiscal and moral deficits are generated from this very approach.
The fact that representatives hold out for these payoffs and then promote them as benefiting their states should be more widely broadcast as unpatriotic and divisive.
The fact that administrations from both sides of the aisle have chosen the 'payoff' style of politics is merely an indication as to the lack of character, courage, and political intellect needed to craft real legislative reforms.
When the 'for sale' sign is constantly out, that lowest common denominator will always be reached.
If this 'payoff politics' is the best America has to offer, then I am increasingly concerned that our collective future will be far less than it ought to be.
Where are the real statesmen?
Why is an ever increasing percentage of the American public getting angry?
In my opinion, more and more Americans are not only questioning but now realizing that they are largely disenfranchised. How so? Seemingly each and every program emanating from Washington is merely another form of income and wealth redistribution.
Make no mistake, the redistribution is running in both directions; that is, to the large monied interests on Wall Street and those who are increasingly dependent on Washington's welfare and largesse. While funds are flowing in both directions, America's great middle class feels more squeezed and screwed than at any point in their lifetime. We witness this reality again in Congress' passage of its health-care reform legislation late on Saturday night.
While the health-care legislation will continue to be hotly debated, I view it as another government program imposing on the lives of those who have worked tirelessly to make this country great. Clearly, people are passionate on both sides of the health-care debate but ultimately this so called reform is merely another form of rationing and redistribution. Is that what America truly wants? I think not. Washington's Democratic establishment will pass this bill at their political peril. They know it.
Arrogance comes in many forms, but ultimately I believe the height of arrogance is willful blindness. I see a lot of that in Washington these days.

Trudeau Liberals seek donations from unlikely source - the PQ's interim leader
Lia Levesque
PMN Canada
MONTREAL — Justin Trudeau's Liberals went looking for a donation from an unlikely source — the interim leader of the sovereigntist Parti Quebecois.
The unusual pitch — a Liberal Party of Canada letter dated May 2 and signed by the prime minister — came in the mail to Pascal Berube's constituency office in Matane, Que.
Berube shared the personalized letter seeking a contribution on Twitter.
"I have never seen such a thing. Never," Berube said in an interview.
"Usually political parties will first target their own members for donations … but to do that in a general way, I've never seen such a thing."
Berube's hometown is located in the federal riding of Avignon-La Mitis-Matane-Matapedia, which is currently represented by Liberal MP Remi Masse.
Other sovereigntists from elsewhere in the province — who've said they've never supported the federal Liberals — reported on social media that they too had received the Liberals' letter. Some wondered aloud where the Liberal Party of Canada would've found the PQ's mailing list.
The Liberal party told The Canadian Press that the letter was circulated across the country, and that respecting and protecting people's privacy is a top priority for the party.
"Parties and their leaders often use funding letters like this one to reach out to more Canadians to raise donations for a major campaign," the party said in a statement. "This letter has been circulated across the country and in both official languages."
In Ottawa, Infrastructure Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne, a Quebec Liberal MP, said it shows the party is open and transparent when it seeks funding from PQ members.
Heritage Minister Pablo Rodriguez said the party manages the list, but sometimes mixups with names do occur.
"It happens quite rarely, otherwise you'd ask the question more often," Rodriguez told reporters.
For his part, Berube said he declined the Liberals' request, adding he's already donated to the Bloc Quebecois.

Q: keeping first column value .melt func I want to use dataframe.melt function in pandas lib to convert data format from rows into column but keeping first column value. I ve just tried also .pivot, but it is not working good. Please look at the example below and please help:
       ID      Alphabet Unspecified: 1  Unspecified: 2
0      1          A          G              L
1      2          B         NaN            NaN
2      3          C          H             NaN
3      4          D          I              M
4      5          E          J             NaN
5      6          F          K              O

Into this:
        ID     Alphabet
0      1          A
1      1          G
2      1          L
3      2          B
4      3          C
5      3          H
6      4          D
7      4          I
8      4          M
9      5          E
10     5          J
11     6          F
12     6          K
11     6          O

A: Try (assuming ID is unique and sorted):
df = (
    pd.melt(df, "ID")
    .sort_values("ID", kind="stable")
    .drop(columns="variable")
    .dropna()
    .reset_index(drop=True)
    .rename(columns={"value": "Alphabet"})
)
print(df)

Prints:
    ID Alphabet
0    1        A
1    1        G
2    1        L
3    2        B
4    3        C
5    3        H
6    4        D
7    4        I
8    4        M
9    5        E
10   5        J
11   6        F
12   6        K
13   6        O

A: Don't melt but rather stack, this will directly drop the NaNs and keep the order per row:
out = (df
 .set_index('ID')
 .stack().droplevel(1)
 .reset_index(name='Alphabet')
 )

Output:
    ID Alphabet
0    1        A
1    1        G
2    1        L
3    2        B
4    3        C
5    3        H
6    4        D
7    4        I
8    4        M
9    5        E
10   5        J
11   6        F
12   6        K
13   6        O

A: One option is with pivot_longer from pyjanitor:
# pip install pyjanitor
import pandas as pd
import janitor

(df
.pivot_longer(
    index = 'ID',
    names_to = 'Alphabet',
    names_pattern = ['.+'],
    sort_by_appearance = True)
.dropna()
)
    ID Alphabet
0    1        A
1    1        G
2    1        L
3    2        B
6    3        C
7    3        H
9    4        D
10   4        I
11   4        M
12   5        E
13   5        J
15   6        F
16   6        K
17   6        O

In the code above, the names_pattern accepts a list of regular expression to match the desired columns, all the matches are collated into one column names Alphabet in names_to.

This is a great polish for returning polished bowling balls to their original factory surface. This product really does need to be used with a ball spinner to get true factory finish results. Also, it's a good idea to polish your polished bowling balls, I'd say, every 12-15 games for consistent restults. Another nice thing about this posish is that you can take a ball with say 3000 or 4000 grit Abralon finish on it that you find is reading too early or hooking too abruptly and/or too much, you can use this polish to increase length.
There's really nothing I don't like about this product. A little pricey, but it lasts a long time. So in the end it's actually a pretty good value.
Powerhouse is a widely known brand so some pro-shops may carry this for sale in the store. Of course you can always order online from Bowling.com and have this shipped right to your front door within a few days!
Due to the time it takes to produce the Powerhouse Factory Finish Polish 5 oz. ball it will ship in immediately. We cannot ship this ball outside the United States.

Bill Jones (OR '94)
At the time of the Award, Bill Jones was:
White City Elementary School
White City, OR
Grade(s): K, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
"The most important contribution educators can make to the well-being of children is to give them hope," says Bill Jones, principal of White City Elementary School in White City. "Over three-quarters of our student body lives below the poverty level," says Mr. Jones, who has strived both as principal and as a member of the community to restore the "dreams" to his community. Mr. Jones has been instrumental in the creation of the Rogue Family Center, a multi-agency facility that provides health and human services to serve the extended school community. Mr. Jones has also helped establish a Leadership Team that has developed into a model example of shared decision-making. In 1993, the Leadership Team, which consists of parents, staff and faculty, was invited to present at the National Association of Elementary School Principals Annual Convention.
It was a wonderful honor being recognized by the Milken Family Foundation. It gave me an opportunity to reflect on how many people provide you the opportunities that gain you this kind of recogition. What I was most impressed with was the recognition was not saved for the 30 year veteran but available for any educator who was making a significant contribution to childern.

AngelList is a U.S. website for startups, angel investors, and job-seekers looking to work at startups.[1][2] Created in 2010, the platform has a mission to democratize the investment process and to help startups with their challenges in fundraising and talent.[3][4] It started as an online introduction board for tech startups that needed seed funding.[5] Since 2015, the site allows startups to raise money from angel investors free of charge.[5][6]

1.2 Naval Ravikant
2 Mission & Operations
4 Involvement in the JOBS Act
AngelList[edit]
AngelList was founded in 2010 by serial entrepreneur Naval Ravikant and Babak Nivi. Using the traction from the Venture Hack blog on entrepreneur financing, Naval and Babak started a list of 25 investors with whom they would share interesting companies to invest in.[1] They announced the list as "AngelList" in 2010, with the subscription of 50 angel investors who intended to invest USD $80 million that year.[7]
Naval Ravikant[edit]
Born in India, Ravikant moved to New York City with his family at the age of 9.[8] After graduating from Stuyvesant, he went on to Dartmouth where he studied computer science and economics.[9][10] He later co-founded Epinions, a consumer review site; and Vast, a classified-ad marketplace. During his brief work with Benchmark Capital and August Capital, a complaint was filed regarding Epinions' financial affairs. This inspired him to start the "Venture Hack" blog in 2007 with Babak Nivi.[11][7][9]
Mission & Operations[edit]
AngelList aims to democratize the investment process. Business Insider dubbed AngelList the "Match.com for investors and startups".[12] In a recent interview, Naval Ravikant wants more "innovation on [the] infrastructure for innovation itself" by helping startups with money, talent, and customers.[13]
AngelList's Syndicate facilitates startup financing with accredited investors. AngelList Jobs connect talents with startups, with over 20,000 recruiting companies, more than 750,000 candidates and 5 million registered users.[14] AngelList's acquisition of Product Hunt will allow more support for startups with customer generation and product launch.[15][16][14] AngelList Syndicates allow startups to raise money from accredited investors investing alongside prominent angel investors.[17][18][19][20][21]
AngelList launched Jobs - its recruiting portal in 2012.[22][23]
In late 2012, AngelList launched a portal for accelerators and incubators to accept and manage applications from startups to their programs.[24] At opening, AngelList accepted applications for 500 Startups, TechStars Boston, and AngelPad. Other accelerators, like Rock Health, accept applications exclusively through AngelList.[1][25][26]
In 2013, AngelList received a no-action letter from the SEC, allowing the operations of its Syndicates platform. FundersClub also received such a letter in the same period.[27][28] AngelList Syndicates was noted as one of the most important innovations in the venture capital and angel investment industries, getting momentum with several well-known figures in the tech community creating syndicates, including Jason Calacanis, Scott Banister, Tim Ferriss, Gil Penchina, Scott and Cyan Banister, Fabrice Grinda, Elad Gil and more.[29][30] In 2017, AngelList had 4,400 investors operating across 165 syndicates.
In March 2014, AngelList launched Maiden Lane, a first online venture fund for investing in syndicated deals.[29] It was launched with more than $25 million in funding from a variety of investors.[31][32][33]
In October 2015, AngelList announced a deal with a Chinese third-largest private equity firm CSC (China Science & Merchants Investment Management Group) for establishing a new $400 million fund for early-stage startup investments.[34][35] According to The Wall Street Journal, the deal became the "largest single pool of funds devoted to early-stage startups — ever," and also the "largest-ever single investment by a Chinese private-equity firm in a U.S. fund."[34][35]
Prior to the deal, according to TWSJ, AngelList "had raised $205 million from all sources, including $43 million from institutional investors."[35]
In July 2016, AngelList launched Republic - a spinoff addressing the democratization of startup equity crowdfunding with non-accredited investors.[36][13]
In November 2016, AngelList acquired Product Hunt for $20 million.[15][16][14] Naval plans to build Product Hunt further in "helping companies find their early customers."[13]
In October 2017, CoinList - initial coin offering services for startups and accredited investors - spun off from AngelList.[37] At the end of 2017 AngelList had profiles of over 70,000 startups.[38]
Involvement in the JOBS Act[edit]
In mid-2012, Naval Ravikant and Kevin Laws, AngelList's chief operating officer,[39] were active in Washington in his support for the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (JOBS Act), a law that eased many of the United States' securities regulations with the aim of making it easier for companies to either go public or to remain private longer while continuing to raise capital.[11][7][40] He was in discussion with "Senate and Congressional staffers, Steve Case, and influential Congressmen who would listen."[41] During the same period, he organized an online petition that attracted 5,000 signatures on a letter to Senate leaders in support of the Act.[7][42] Later in 2013, Naval Ravikant wrote a letter to the SEC to object changes in the JOBS Act that he believed "could create disastrous unintended consequences for the startup community."[43]

Gephyromantis tandroka
Subgenus: Duboimantis
family: Mantellidae
subfamily: Mantellinae
© 2012 Sebastian Wolf (1 of 3)
hear call (169.3K MP3 file)
[call details here]
IUCN (Red List) Status Vulnerable (VU)
M 39 mm, F 40-45 mm. Inner and outer dorsolateral ridge present but indistinct. No heel spines. Two distinct and elevated interocular tubercles. Colouration variable, usually no light stripe along upper lip (Glaw and Vences 2007).
Country distribution from AmphibiaWeb's database: Madagascar
Marojejy Massif in north-eastern Madagascar (Glaw and Vences 2007), and possibly from Tsaratanana (one specimen has been collected and requires confirmation). This species has been observed between 700-1400 m (Raxworthy and Andreone 2008). It is usually located near streams and tiny trickles of water in rainforest, where it can be found climbing on low vegetation (Raxworthy and Andreone 2008). It is not found in disturbed areas (Raxworthy and Andreone 2008).
Habits: Males call at night from positions 1-2 m high in the vegetation close to streams, in relatively high-elevation rainforest (Glaw and Vences 2007).
Calls: Usually a single unharmonious note, repeated after longer intervals of 1-3 seconds (Glaw and Vences 2007).
This species is listed as vulnerable because it is known from fewer than five locations. It occurs within a protected area, the Parc National de Marojejy. However, habitat is being lost due to agriculture and grazing, logging, charcoal manufacture, the invasion and spread of eucalyptus, and expanding human settlement (Raxworthy and Andreone 2008).

Home American History The Plains Indian and Killdeer Mountain
The Plains Indian and Killdeer Mountain
In the shadows of Killdeer Mountain of present day western North Dakota, there lies the site of an 1864 battle between the Sioux and the U. S. Army. Eclipsed on popularity to famous skirmishes like the Battle of the Little Bighorn, this particular engagement strengthened the resolve of the northern plains Indians against an ever-advancing white enemy.
The Stage Is Set For War On The Plains
Brigadier General Alfred Sully had been ordered against the western bands of the Sioux nation to punish them for the Dakota uprising that had occurred in the Minnesota Territory in 1862. Their eastern cousins, the Santee, had staged a violent uprising out of frustration from their poor treatment by the U. S. government. That conflict had resulted in about 800 white casualties including men, women and children.
Predictably, the local population demanded vengeance. The army captured about 2000 prisoners and ended up executing 38 of them by orders from President Lincoln. This would prove to be the largest mass execution in U.S. history. Orders were also prepared for the Army to march westward to locate and punish the perpetrators involved. There had been word of a large camp in present day North Dakota. Ironically, the Santee Sioux who carried out the attack in Minnesota had escaped into Canada.
Though many of its bands had not been involved, Washington considered the entire Sioux nation at blame for the incident. In 1863, Sully's force of about 1600 cavalry and mounted infantry began its march up the Missouri River. It met up with a column of infantry and cavalry from Minnesota in June of 1864 and began to ascend the Missouri River drainage in search of the enemy.
On July 26, as Sully escorted a wagon train west along the Heart River, scouts reported that a large encampment of Native Americans was spotted along the Little Missouri River north of their current course. Leaving a wagon train on the Heart River with a large protective detail of soldiers, Sully moved in pursuit.
The Battle Of Killdeer Mountain
The two sides met on July 28 in the rough and broken ground near the Killdeer Mountains. The encamped Hunkpapas, Sans Arcs, Blackfeet, Minneconjous, Yanktonais and Santees were forewarned of an attack. Their scouting party had exchanged fire with a scouting party from Sully's column the day before.
Forming his troops into a squared formation know as a phalanx, Sully advanced on the Sioux camp of approximately 1700 lodges. Its warriors came out to meet them and the battle ensued. On several occasions, warrior parties tried in vain to attack the flanks and rear of Sully's formation. Supported by artillery in the center of the phalanx, the Army was able to slowly beat back the enemy and weaken its lines. Major Bracket led a cavalry charge to break the Indian line and drive them into forested gullies surrounding the village. Further barrages from the artillery forced a retreat of the Sioux. They quickly abandoned their village and fled over the mountain.
General Sully rode off in pursuit of those that had escaped. Though there were some brief minor clashes, the majority of the Sioux drove into the badlands and used the rough terrain to thwart their attackers. His chance at annihilation of the whole Sioux band gone, Sully returned to the deserted Indian camp and destroyed it.
As the army column moved back to meet its supply train and immigrant trains on the Heart River, straggling warriors were able to attack their picket lines and kill a couple more soldiers on the second night after the battle.
Historical Implications Of The Battle
The significance of the Battle of Killdeer Mountain turned out to be much more than a victory for the army. Granted, the Sioux had suffered a serious defeat. Their bows and muzzleloaders were no match to the superior weaponry of the U.S. Army. On subsequent engagements, they used that knowledge to change their tactics. Instead of direct attacks, they began to favor a more hit-and-run style which largely neutralized the better arms of the military.
More importantly, they were now hardened in their resolve to fight. U.S. commanders did not understand that the Sioux were comprised of several bands that were loosely related. They each had their own lifestyle and they did not necessarily communicate regularly or share the same motivations.
Western bands of the Sioux had not shown a great deal of hostility towards American westward expansion until provoked by the Battle of Killdeer Mountain and the formation of the Bozeman Trail. This trail provided access of white settlers to newly discovered gold deposits in Montana. It also violated a treaty between the Sioux and the United States by allowing emigrant invasion through the valuable hunting grounds of the Powder River drainage in Wyoming.
The end result was the United States inadvertently starting confrontations with Native Americans that were otherwise peaceful and escalating into a full-scale war. Sadly, the northern plains would see battle and carnage drag on for another 25 years after the dust had settled at Killdeer Mountain.

God might have created life. An exact first explanation might be our standard of living. The very first principle, Feynman once said, is that you need to not fool yourself, and you're https://www.grademiners.com the simplest person to fool.
For instance, you can utilize MATRIX Cancer Aid System to ascertain in case you have thyroid cancer. Nature does a fairly excellent job of producing an astonishing diversity of life. Corn would not have evolved without man's intervention, there's nothing natural about it.
Each circumstance is an entire life unto itself. As soon as it's clearly a simple fact that lots of an organism's structures and behaviors serve purposes, additionally, there are lots of traits with no exact clear intent. There are several things you would sacrifice and do if your present http://www.personal.psu.edu/bxb11/Objectives/ life depended on it.
Natural hair is beginning to become trendy. The ideal variety is entirely subjective. Something that lots of women don't have.
Natural things aren't necessarily morally great. The attractiveness of pure gender selection, is the fact that it can be done at the comfort of your own house, and the enjoyable and spontaneity isn't removed. Something that lots of women don't have.
The very best edition of yourself is the consolidation of all your life targets, big and little. In our algorithmic universe there's no biological life. All types of life consist of a minumum of one cell.
To put it differently, the individual you least suspect is normally whoever commits the crime. After the demand to address such kinds of problems rises, the accessibility to teachers that are responsible to construct corresponding solutions will be constrained. When individuals are trying to breed animals, they start looking for certain valuable traits in purebred stock for some purpose, or may intend to use some sort of crossbreeding to create a new kind of stock with different, and, it's presumed, superior abilities in a particular area of endeavor.
Indeed, many college students, and sometimes even biology teachers, have a bad comprehension of pure selection and relevant ideas. The latest work in evolutionary biology was concerned with custom paper the notion of molecular clocks. Today's ecologists analyze the atmosphere, and hydrosphere, and distinct kinds of energy resources.
In case you should take the seeds of a kind of apple and plant them you'd become very various fruit. As a consequence, a totally new breed of banana was produced. In the wild, bananas weren't simple to eat.
The subject of research in which systems linked to biological life are examined in an effort to recreate some of its aspects is known as artificial life. You're the future-self of you from five decades ago. Take note that there are going to be days after you struggle.
Further to increase its performance machine learning is used. Moreover, when you lengthen the sum of time behavioral development takes, you disrupt a few other varieties of development. The end result is going to be the comprehensive extermination of a very good large part of the human race variance.
Directional selection is fairly simple to recognize, since it contributes to dramatic shifts toward extreme phenotypes with time. Artificial selection may also create different colors in carrot roots. If this is the case, it will then rise or fall from memetic all-natural selection just enjoy any ideological organism.
A certain kind of plant can create blue or yellow flowers. Therefore, quartz isn't appropriate for outdoor kitchens. The mixture of outside sauna together with an outdoor swimming pool is great.
In case you should take the seeds of a kind of apple and plant them you'd become very various fruit. In other instances, like the banana, artificial selection has produced hybrids that are quite prone to sterility. Wild apples, for example, are crab apples, and the wild precursor to corn proved to be a hardened grass with just a couple of kernels.
The absolute most prominent disadvantage of artificially selected species is that they're very vulnerable to disease. In monogamy, both males and females have just one mate at a moment. Many populations don't have enough members to steer clear of genetic drift.

What exactly are some ideas when crafting philosophical essays?
What are the parts of the descriptive essay?


In this one-minute video, the creator and maintainer of the Linux kernel, Linus Torvalds, explains what makes his pet project so special.
At Linux.conf.au in Sydney, Linus Torvalds spoke about what makes coding the kernel different from creating "real" applications.
"I have always felt that the thing that makes the kernel special is [that] it never does anything on its own… It has no agenda. It is at the mercy of all the "real" programs that actually do something for the user... I try to see what are the issues that users have with programs and what are things that we in the kernel can help them do better," he said.

Dinner With Friends...and Some Misguided Protesters in Dallas
By Armstrong & Getty Jul 16, 2020
"I was enjoying dinner with friends when this protest broke out. Watch it all. They ruined a perfect evening."
--Damani Bryant Felder via Instagram.
"The protesters are, by a pretty clear margin, young, white and female. In other words--they perfectly match the demographics in American colleges...which are also mostly young white and female."

A: The short answer is yes! I have many patients like you who are very happy that the cancer is in remission but would also still like to look good.
Often, I find patients who have had chemotherapy to have very dry and "abused" skin. I like to get aggressive with skincare treatments that help hydrate and rejuvenate the face. In our office we like to use Skinceuticals products that accomplish this.
During the time patients are starting their treatment, we often have them undergo a hydra facial which intensely hydrates and reinvigorates the skin. Depending on your type of skin, we will then recommend different types of skincare products.
Patients often have volume loss with chemotherapy and they will appear as if they have lost weight with facial volume loss. I like to correct this volume loss with various different types of hyaluronic acid fillers. Some of these include Voluma, Juvederm and Restylane. Each filler has its own characteristics and its own uses.
In addition, I love using Botox and Dysport in order to give a patient a chemical brow lift with the removal of wrinkles.
The combination of all or any one of these treatments will make you look much healthier and will make you feel better as you look at yourself in the mirror. You can go about your regular life with minimal-to-no residual appearance of your lymphoma. You'll look like your "old self." Maybe even better.

Spotify is now a public company
It's been a long road for Spotify in terms of going public, but now that day is here. The company is now public; it took the unusual step of pursuing a direct listing, rather than the more traditional IPO. Shares were set at a price of $132 by the New York Stock Exchange late Monday, according to Reuters. That gives Spotify a value of over $23 billion.
As of the time of this writing, Spotify still has not had its first trade (which may be a record; it's now taken longer to start trading than Alibaba). The NYSE did warn traders that it could take longer than usual for that first trade to occur because of the direct listing. The Wall Street Journal reports the anticipated range of Spotify's first trade has been creeping up all morning; it's now at $167 to $170. That signals there's a lot of interest in Spotify's shares. It will be interesting to see what happens when the company finally has its first trades.
The flux in share price is due to the fact that Spotify is pursuing a less traditional direct listing instead of an IPO. This allows the share price to be set by supply and demand, rather than underwriters. Last year, the company hoped for a total valuation of $10 billion. It looks like the streaming service is going to get a whole lot more than that, judging by the interest in shares.
Update: Shares of Spotify were open for trading at 12:45 PM ET. The starting price was $165.90, and 5.6 million shares were traded initially.
Square Enix pledges to fix the PC version of 'Chrono Trigger'
Square Enix is going to make it right for Chrono Trigger fans. In late February, the publisher dropped the classic JRPG onto Steam, but it was the oft-derided mobile port from six years ago — not the original SNES game from 1995. To right that wrong, Square Enix will patch the game with an option to switch between the current visuals and "the original graphical style" of the game.
There will be "a number" of updates beyond this, with the graphics-and-UI-related one dropping between now and the middle of April. Previously, modders took matters into their own hands and addressed the gaffe. What the other patches will entail is anyone's guess.

Mightier is helping calm kids down through mobile games
Learning how to regulate your emotions is a fundamental skill, but it can be tough for kids, especially those with challenging behaviors, oppositional disorder, ADHD and autism. Mightier, by Neuromotion Labs, is a gaming platform that teaches kids a valuable set of emotion management skills using just a phone, an app and a heart rate monitor.
"This really started for me about ten years ago at Boston Children's Hospital and really trying to understand how we can improve emotional regulation skills in kids," said Mightier co-founder Jason Kahn. "If things don't go your way, how are you going to take on that challenge? Do you have both the neural circuitry and the skills to be able to gracefully get through a challenge, or are you going to find yourself really triggering that fight-or-flight reflex?"
Mightier works like this: kids strap on a wrist-based heart rate monitor that's paired to an iPhone, then choose something to play. The titles are actual App Store games whose developers have allowed Mightier access to their game code. "We work with a number of indie developers you've probably heard of," said co-founder Trevor Stricker. "One of our most popular games on the platform is Hundreds by Finji, which is Adam and Bekah Saltsman. We've also worked with Race the Sun by Aaron San Filippo at Flippfly."
Other games on the Mightier platform include Runaway Toad, where you play a toad that doesn't want to be kissed by a princess, and Unpossible, an endless runner with a gravity-defying 3D track. As kids play each game, things get more difficult, which helps the child's heart rate to go up. That might mean visual distractors that appear onscreen, more enemies or an increase in speed to make the game more difficult. The Mightier platform manages the difficulty changes based on the feedback from the heart rate monitor.
The child's heart rate is displayed on the phone so they can see it. Once it reaches the "red zone," the game pauses and plays a little animation to model a deep-breathing, calming exercise. The kids can watch their heart rates fall as they calm themselves down, which lets them experience that in their own bodies, rather than just watching someone else model the behavior.
"We have clinical research that shows that this intentionally calming yourself down in the moment is extremely effective in exercising your parasympathetic nervous system and strengthening your emotional regulation," said Stricker. Kahn and his team conducted two studies: one with 10 kids in an inpatient setting and one with 20 children as outpatients. The researchers found that 45 minutes a week of playing Mightier reduced outbursts by 62 percent, decreased oppositional behaviors by 40 percent and lowered parent stress by 19 percent.
The tools educators currently use to teach emotion management are pretty poor, said Kahn. "I think about it like riding a bike almost," he said. "The tools we have for teaching [emotional regulation] right now look a lot like taking a kid to an office, putting a bike in the middle, throwing a manual at them and hoping they learn how to ride a bike."
Instead, he said, Mightier works more like the way we really teach kids to ride a bicycle. "You put them on the bike and you watch them practice and practice and practice, and they build the skill. And it's okay that they wobble around, and that's fine," said Kahn.
According to Kahn, one parent told the Mightier team that her son started asking to use the system on his own within weeks of being introduced to it. When he started feeling angry or frustrated, he'd ask for the game and play for a bit. Then he'd be able to work things out more calmly. Soon after that, he began just closing his eyes and doing some deep breathing on his own, and he was finally able to regroup, take a break or ask for help without an outburst.
The team worked with kids in Montreal who had problems with classroom outbursts, which is disruptive both to their own learning and that of the kids around them. The students in Montreal were leaving class an average of six times a week, but after using Mightier, the same students were having to leave an average of only twice a week.
"As a society, we throw so many strategies at these kids, and they all know them," said Kahn. "You can't find a kid who doesn't know about deep breathing, or [something] similar. They know them, but they don't know what to do with these skills."
The co-founder added: "Now tell them, 'Look. You can put this all together. You can do it. You're the one who's in control of your own emotions.' To watch kids build it and figure it out, and finally have things snap into place, is really exciting."
Xiaomi's take on a voice assistant is built for China
Chinese phone makers are in a tough spot if they want to use voice assistants. Google is largely a no-show in the country, Siri is limited to Apple devices and services like Alexa or Cortana don't have nearly as much influence as they do elsewhere. Xiaomi has a straightforward solution to that problem: create its own AI companion. The company has posted a video showing off Xiao Ai, an assistant designed with China in mind. The functionality is familiar: you can play music, check the weather, control smart home devices and translate foreign languages. The difference is the Chinese focus, with deep hooks into WeChat and Xiaomi devices like its robot vacuum.
Xiao Ai will come included with the Mi Mix 2S, but it's available for other Xiaomi handsets in China through updates to MIUI. Don't expect it to reach other countries, however. Apart from its Chinese focus, Xiaomi users in other countries can simply turn to Google Assistant. This is more about filling a gap in Xiaomi's home country than an attempt to dominate the AI space.
If anything, Xiaomi is in a race to compete against its fellow Chinese brands. Bloomberg sources recently reported that Huawei is developing its own voice assistant for China, and there's a real chance that Huawei's lead in the country could give it an edge. Xiaomi's launch could give it a head start that mutes Huawei's advantage or lures sales away from smartphone fans who aren't willing to wait.

Intel's New Core i9 and Coffee Lake Chips Pave Way for Quad-Core 13″ MacBook Pro, Mac Mini Refresh, and More
Intel today introduced a range of new eighth-generation Core processors [PDF] appropriate for future MacBook Pro, Mac mini, and iMac models.
The most notable new chip is the first-ever Core i9 processor for notebooks. With six cores and 12 threads, Intel says the Core i9 is the highest-performance notebook processor it has ever designed. The H-series processor has a 2.9GHz base clock speed with a Turbo Boost frequency of up to 4.8GHz.
Given the Core i9 is a 45W chip, it is appropriate for the high-end 15-inch MacBook Pro and could be included in a refreshed version of the notebook as early as this year. Apple last updated the MacBook Pro lineup with Kaby Lake processors at WWDC in June 2017, so a Core i9 model could debut at WWDC 2018.
Of note, while the Core i9 processor allows for systems with up to 32GB of RAM, this is unlikely to apply to the next MacBook Pro, since low-power DDR4 RAM is still not supported. Back in 2016, Apple's marketing chief Phil Schiller said 32GB of standard DDR4 RAM would compromise battery life.
The eighth-generation Core processor family also includes new quad-core Core i5 and Core i7 processors with base clock speeds between 2.3GHz and 2.7GHz and integrated Iris Plus graphics. These 28W chips, part of the U-series, are suitable for future 13-inch MacBook Pro and Mac mini models.
Intel says the new Core i9, i7, and i5 processors for notebooks are based on its Coffee Lake platform and leverage its 14nm++ manufacturing process, enabling the chips to deliver up to 41 percent more frames per second in gameplay or edit 4K video up to 59 percent faster than the previous generation with the same discrete graphics, based on its internal benchmark testing.
As with Intel's Kaby Lake Refresh processors introduced last August, these new Coffee Lake chips pave the way for a quad-core 13-inch MacBook Pro should Apple choose to release one. The current lineup is limited to dual-core models.
Intel also expanded its lineup of eighth-generation Core processors for desktops today after an initial rollout last October. Two chips suitable for future 4K and 5K standard iMac models include six-core Core i5-8600 and Core i5-8500 chips with base clock speeds of 3.1GHz and 3.0GHz respectively.
The desktop lineup also includes six lower-power 35W chips with four or six cores and base clock speeds between 2.1GHz and 3.2GHz. While the current Mac mini lineup uses 28W chips, previous generations have used up to 45W chips, so the 35W processors could be suitable for future Mac mini models.
All in all, Intel has potentially laid the groundwork for a high-performance, top-of-the-line 15-inch MacBook Pro, quad-core 13-inch MacBook Pro models, a long-overdue Mac mini refresh, and updated iMacs as early as this year.
Looking further ahead, Bloomberg News on Monday reported that Apple plans to design and use its own processors for Macs starting as early as 2020. Intel shares saw their biggest price drop in two years following the report.

Apple Music for Android Gains Revamped Music Videos Section From iOS and macOS Apps
Apple this week updated its Apple Music Android app with the revamped music videos section that launched on iOS and macOS devices late last week.
Announced earlier in 2018, Apple Music's new music videos section provides access to a wider variety of both classic and brand-new videos, exclusive videos from artists like Kylie Minogue, and full video playlists that let subscribers stream music videos back-to-back without ads. Similar to the non-video section, there are curated playlists for topics like The Beats 1 Video List and Today's Video Hits, but users can also create their own custom playlists of music videos.
WHAT'S NEW: Apple Music now includes a new music video experience. Find what's new and popular in Music Videos within Browse, and play videos back-to-back with exclusive music video playlists.
The new Android update comes about a month after the last one, which also focused on music videos. Instead of major changes, the March version update introduced the ability for users to watch music videos in fullscreen or inside Now Playing, so that the music continued playing while browsing other parts of the app. About a year ago, Apple introduced major design changes to the Android app that more closely resembled the look of the Music app on iOS devices.
Apple Music for Android can be downloaded from the Google Play store for free.

Adobe's aim in 2018 is to introduce new tools and improvements to allow its customers to streamline their workflows to save time.

The time pressure on video professionals means the need for powerful and efficient creative tools has never been greater," said Steven Warner, vice president of digital video and audio at Adobe. "Adobe video apps like Premiere Pro and After Effects give them that power which, combined
with the services available in Creative Cloud, provide broadcasters, media companies, filmmakers and YouTubers a complete ecosystem to bring their stories to screen faster than ever."
In Premiere Pro CC, Adobe's video editing software for professionals, Adobe has introduced a Color Match feature, powered by its artificial intelligence engine Adobe Sensei. Color Match is able to take the color and light values from a reference image and then apply them as editable color adjustments to the current shot, all while intelligently adjusting for skin tones.
With Color Match, it takes just a few clicks and adjustments to match the colors of various video clips. For broadcast-quality content, the Video Limiter ensures color grading meets broadcast standards.
In the Essential Graphics panel, there are new tools for animating text and graphics, along with Auto Ducking improvements that are part of the Essential Sound panel and new options for tracking time codes with a Time Code panel.
There are new integrations between Premiere Pro and Audition, with Adobe introducing the ability to open Premiere Pro projects in Audition to select specific sequences you want to work on. A new Track panel has been added to allow users to better manage their projects, and Clip Spotting updates video previews in Audition in real-time.
Adobe After Effects CC, designed for motion graphics, offers a Master Properties option for seeding individual values to all versions of a composition, plus there's a new Advanced Puppet Engine for smoother, more realistic object movement. Adobe's data-driven animation tools have also been improved with support for spreadsheet files like .CSV and .TSV.
Adobe Immersive Environment, which now includes support for the Windows Mixed Reality Platform, is available in After Effects CC, allowing users to preview VR content with a new immersive workflow.
Character Animator has gained improvements that make it faster to create new characters than ever before with a new option to drag layers from the Puppet panel into the Triggers panel to refine existing behaviors or create new ones.
All of Adobe's Creative Cloud updates will be available starting today, with additional information on what's new available on Adobe's site. Adobe's Creative Cloud plans, which cover the complete range of Adobe CC software, start at $49.99 per month.

The Weeknd's New Single Streamed Nearly Twice as Many Times on Apple Music Than Spotify
The Weeknd's new single "Call Out My Name" was streamed 6 million times in its first 24 hours of release on Apple Music last Friday, March 30. As a comparison, Apple Music's streams of the song nearly doubled Spotify's 3.5 million streams in the same 24-hour period.
As reported by The Verge today, Apple Music's numbers on the new song are impressive given the context of Spotify's advertising push for The Weeknd's new album "My Dear Melancholy." On Friday, Spotify debuted two exclusive videos from the album, one of which was for "Call Out My Name." The Weeknd also tagged Spotify in multiple Instagram posts focusing on the new videos after the album dropped.
Still, Apple Music beat out Spotify for the single's streams on Friday, and in total Apple's service managed over 26 million streams for the full My Dear Melancholy album.
Apple Music has seemingly cracked the streaming formula when it comes to hip-hop and R&B, despite a sizable disadvantage in users compared to Spotify. While Apple Music isn't the dominant service when it comes to subscribers, it's quickly becoming the leader when it comes to engagement — at least when it comes to the world's biggest genre — and that can't be overlooked.
In March 2017, Drake's "More Life" album streamed 29 million more times on Apple Music than on Spotify in its first 24 hours of launch. Later in the fall, Post Malone dropped his single "Rockstar" and quickly broke Apple Music records with over 25 million streams in one week, grabbing 56 percent of the first week streams of the song in the United States.
At the time, Apple Music head of artist curation Carl Chery said that the company repeatedly wins the streaming game on songs like "Rockstar" because it's "ahead of the curve on them."
"A lot of times on those records where we outperform is because we're ahead of the curve on them, Chery says." Chery told me he heard "Rockstar" before it was released and knew immediately that it would be a hit, allowing Apple to move fast and add it to the relevant playlists in the first week. "And to a point, Apple Music becomes the destination where people want to hear that particular record," Chery said.
In terms of paying subscribers, Apple Music had 38 million worldwide as of March 2018, and Spotify had 71 million as of February 2018. Spotify also has a free, ad-supported tier, giving it over 159 million listeners overall around the world.
The latest addition to Apple Music launched last week in the form of an overhauled music videos section, where subscribers can stream continuous video playlists, watch exclusive videos, and browse a deep back catalog of video content.

Apple Releases First Beta of iOS 11.4 for Public Beta Testers
Apple today seeded the first beta of an upcoming iOS 11.4 update to its public beta testing group, one day after seeding the beta to developers and a little under a week after releasing iOS 11.3, the last major update to the iOS 11 operating system.
Beta testers who are members of Apple's beta testing program will receive the iOS 11.3 beta update over-the-air after installing the proper certificate on an iOS device.
Those who want to join the beta testing program can sign up on Apple's beta testing website, which gives users access to iOS, macOS, and tvOS betas. iOS betas are not always stable and should not be installed on a primary device.
iOS 11.4 is going to look a lot like iOS 11.3 because several features that were removed from iOS 11.3 ahead of its release have been re-introduced in iOS 11.4.
The update includes support for AirPlay 2 features, allowing you to play the same song on multiple devices and adding the Apple TV to the Home app, plus it offers Messages on iCloud.
Messages on iCloud was present throughout the iOS 11.3 beta testing period, but it did not make it into release. The feature is designed to let you store your iMessages in iCloud, syncing them across devices and saving valuable storage space.
Stereo sound in HomePod is also an available feature, but it is not functional at this time as Apple has not provided the 11.4 HomePod software to developers or public beta testers.

Apple Seeds First Public Beta of tvOS 11.4 for Public Beta Testers
Apple today seeded the first beta of an upcoming tvOS 11.4 update to its public beta testing group, one day after providing the beta to developers and a little under a week after releasing tvOS 11.3, a minor update that introduced a few smaller features.
The tvOS 11.4 public beta can be obtained by going to the Settings app on the Apple TV and navigating to the Software Updates section under "System." "Get Public Beta Updates" will need to be toggled on, and once it is, the Apple TV will download the beta software.
tvOS 11.4 and iOS 11.4 reintroduce AirPlay 2 features that were included in early iOS 11.3 and tvOS 11.3 betas but were pulled from the update ahead of its release.
AirPlay 2 is designed to let you play the same audio content on multiple devices throughout your home, full a whole-home audio experience. AirPlay 2 works with the Apple TV, the HomePod, and it will work with future speakers that implement AirPlay 2 support.
Following the installation of iOS 11.4 and tvOS 11.4, the Apple TV will once again be listed in the Home app, as it was when AirPlay 2 features were available in iOS and tvOS 11.3 betas.
No other major feature changes were discovered in the tvOS 11.4 beta that was provided to developers.
