SOYJOY and I want to know…what brings you joy during the holidays? Too many answers – right?! I just LOVE this season. Thankfully for many of us, there is just so much that brings us joy during this time of the year. It's always such a pleasure to think back on all the memories I've made with my friends and family. The end of the year can be a great time to reflect on all that you've accomplished with loved ones.
But the holiday season is also a time to be present as well.
I love walking into a decorated house and hearing all the Christmas songs on the radio. I love seeing the lights around my neighborhood and admiring the festive trimmings in every store.
People just seem a little more joyful this time of year…maybe because so many people actually get to take time off from their jobs and enjoy themselves a bit. Natalie and Liam are home, which is really great. We try to cram in as many holiday events as we can which they appreciate.
The days of them being little are numbered I know, so it brings me great joy to see them as they are. Young. Innocent. Mine.
Now, let's get a little bit deeper into the holiday spirit, shall we??

The 9mm handgun allegedly flung from the speeding car of Sean "Puffy" Combs and Jennifer Lopez was tossed out of the rear right window – where the rap mogul was sitting, sources told The Post yesterday.
The revelation means that prosecutors – who will continue presenting their case to a grand jury next week – have yet more evidence allegedly putting a gun directly in Combs' hand.
Lead Manhattan prosecutor Matthew Bogdanos has already openly accused Combs of brandishing a gun when shooting erupted last week at Club New York on West 43rd Street – a charge for which the hip-hop honcho would face up to 15 years in prison.
Word also came yesterday that Combs is considering beefing up his legal team. A lawyer involved in the case said that Dream Teamer Johnnie Cochran is under consideration to represent Combs should he be indicted.
Cochran could not be reached for comment late yesterday.
A 23-member grand jury – which is considering felony gun-possession charges against Combs and two of his employees – will continue hearing evidence in lower Manhattan next week. Sources said an indictment vote is imminent.
The charges stem from a Dec. 27 hip-hop club shoot-'em-up that put three innocent club-goers in the hospital. Combs protégé Jamal "Shyne" Barrow is accused of opening fire to defend Combs against a rival's insult.
Authorities say Combs pulled – but did not use – his own gun, then fled police, with Lopez at his side, in a Lincoln Navigator. His chauffeur, his security chief, and a stolen, loaded 9mm Smith & Wesson were also on board.
The gun allegedly flung from Combs' window is a so-called "sister gun" to that Smith & Wesson – its nearly identical serial number indicating it was manufactured in the same lot.
But sources said the sister gun was observed flying from where Combs was sitting at Eighth Avenue and 48th Street by a passer-by, who showed it to a friend who happens to be a confidential FBI informant.
The informant took it to his FBI handlers the next day, a source said.

5 Major Advances in Artificial Intelligence in E-commerce
by admin | Aug 11, 2017 | Content Automation, Ecommerce, Uncategorized
AI has been impacting the online experience since the advent of search way back in 1996 when Sergey Brin and Larry Page founded Google. Smart engines already supply customer recommendations in online shopping (Amazon) and viewing recommendations (YouTube, Netflix). As machine learning evolves, there are countless other ways that applications of artificial intelligence in e-commerce will improve more than just the online shopping experience.
See it, Search, Buy It
Imagine going to a wedding or a special event and falling in love with a friend's pair of shoes. Visual search helps you find exactly what you want based on something you saw. Take a picture of those shoes, and an AI engine could find multiple samples of something similar. This saves time on the consumer side and increases discoverability for retailers.
Virtual Personal Shoppers
Not everyone loves to spend hours searching for a new jacket online. That's why companies like, North Face, are introducing artificial intelligence applications that shop for you. Software is faster than humans and may be better at finding specific items based on simple logic rather than emotion. Think about how Waze helps you find the right route based on traffic patterns. It's using real data to get you there faster, although that route may differ from your habits or assumptions. A virtual shopper could lead buyers to online e-tailers and products they may not have otherwise sought out.
Improved Personalization
There are many ways to gather information about both what you're shopping for and how you shop. Currently, ad re-targeting reminds users about items that were abandoned in their carts. Eventually, AI could gather even more information about how specific, individual shoppers search for goods, research, and curate information before making a buy. This information, in turn, may lead to smarter and more customized ad platforms and recommendation engines that improve the personal shopping experience.
Integration of AI and CRM
Machines are better equipped to analyze large blocks of data more quickly than humans. All products and brands have to compete on customer service, and AI could help scale customer service more effectively. Imagine that an upset customer is more accurately routed to the right team based on more smarter voice-responsive software. Software could do a better job of helping customers find products and direct them to the right answer to their query or concern.
Using Natural Language Processing for Search
Sometimes, when putting search terms into an engine, it take a few tries before you get the results you want. NLP, or natural language processing, is one of the fastest-growing forms of artificial intelligence in e-commerce because it will help customers get from point A (searching) to point B (conversion) more quickly and with less frustration. NLP enables machines to learn how humans speak and can translate that speech into all types of behavior. Because this is such a wide-ranging field, the applications for this technology will impact everything from shopping to medicine.
CrewMachine is using AI to drive how e-commerce brands create and manage online content and fix problems too great for human teams to solve alone. We'd love to talk more about it, so contact us to set up a demo today.

Artificial vs Human Intelligence and The Problems with Automated Content Creation
by admin | Mar 31, 2017 | Content Automation, Content Writing, Ecommerce
The application of artificial intelligence (AI) to generate web content is the next big thing in the ecommerce market. Considering that automated content analysis is the next benchmark, the strategies that go into the process need to be examined. If we analyze the problems with automated content creation, it's obvious that there are a few challenges to address. To create quality ecommerce content, human and machine intelligence need to work together.
Emotive Quality Connects to Customers
The application of artificial intelligence can yield great results in terms of generating great quantities of content. However, the quality of that content may lack the insights that human intelligence can offer. Product descriptions must be relatable. The content should excite the customers and sway their buying decisions. The AI's algorithmic implications may provide factual product descriptions for ecommerce, but incorporating emotive quality may be a challenge that machines can't quite meet.
Value Added Sentences Increase Description Quality
AI created content is constructed on a bed of existing data. Therefore, one of the problems with automated content creation is that the AI can't generate fresh ideas. AI generated, machine-driven content is lacking 'common sense'. Algorithmic implications can easily identify and describe a black dress or a cotton shirt. What they can't do is describe the value additions that mean so much to the reader, such as the texture, the design or the feel of the material. While AI can produce a product description, it can't make a joke, engage a reader with insights or highlight the usefulness of a subtle feature. Hence, automated content may fail to engage a reader.
Convincing Descriptions Make an Impact
AI generated content can speak of the attributes of the products, but lacks the value additions related to those attributes. While AI generated content can effectively feature a description of the product, it will not involve any subjective opinion about the product. The lack of such opinion is often obvious to the reader, and such clinical descriptions may unfavorably sway their buying decisions. Human intelligence is needed to make the leaps in logic that elevate product descriptions from boring facts to creative, convincing content.
Keyword Optimization Brings in New Readers
When addressing the problems with automated content creation, search result rankings must be mentioned. Regardless of the quality, AI-generated content that doesn't appear in search results hasn't reached its intended audience. Machine generated content often doesn't abide by the rules of keyword optimization. If keywords for product descriptions or category pages are not properly optimized, then the customer's searches will be fruitless. Optimization depends on, again, leaps of logic, which consider keyword phrasing, placement, context and related terms. Content that grows out of human intelligence keeps the buyer's search concerns in mind while optimizing.
Competent Descriptions Increase Convertibility
Since machine generated content is laid upon existing data and facts, it may fail to update itself. Therefore, the content may lag behind that of competitors in the e-commerce market. Lack of proper updates at regular interval creates a gap. This also results in making the content non-convertible in terms of generating organic traffic in the Google search page. Human intervention and oversight are necessary to detect and address any such content gaps.
While AI-driven content creation can generate large quantities of product descriptions at the touch of a button, it does not remove or replace the human element. However, human and machine intelligence can work together in harmony to produce high-quality product descriptions for ecommerce.
How AI and Machine Learning are Changing the Digital Landscape
by admin | Feb 13, 2017 | Content Automation, Ecommerce
Big Data and Magnitude of Growth
With the technological advancement and innovations in communication and digital landscape, data is growing at a rate of 40-percent each year and is expected to increase around 300 percent between 2005 and 2020. At that rate, it won't be a surprise if data reaches almost 45ZB by 2020.
The 4'V's of Big Data
The diagram below shows the 4'V's (Volume, Velocity, Veracity and Variety) that are used to analyze the growth and spread of data:
Digital Waves and The Changing Digital Landscape
Supported by progressive technology, the digital landscape has evolved in a very big way over the past few years. The first wave, the internet revolution in 2000, brought about real-time changes in the digital world. The advent of the mobile internet with the manufacture and circulation of 10 million devices around the globe in 2010, the second wave made the internet available anytime/anywhere. The third wave, the Internet of Things (IoT) is currently ongoing, as we see more everyday objects with the ability to send and receive data bringing about a transformation in both the physical and digital world. All of this has helped e-Commerce prosper in a big way. The 4th wave, AI and Robotics are believed to once again drastically influence the e-Commerce arena.
The Anticipated Future Prospect
It is thought that AI will bring about a drastic change in many pre-established routines, norms and regulations. If the results of the previous revolutions are similar with the new ones, it's definitely a possibility. Economist Carlota Perez mentioned in her book "Technological Revolutions and Financial Capital," "A sense of impotence and frustration accumulates and a growing incongruence is experienced between the new and the old paradigm."
To date, every level of automation has had a positive impact on society. The digital revolution regarding mechanization and computerization has improved the standard of living, encouraged literacy, lengthened the average lifespan and taken down crime rates and unemployment to a considerable extent – U.S. Census data shows that nearly 3 million jobs were created from 2014 to 2015.
By implementing computing devices, digital advancement has networked the entire world and has created a pool of innovation. The global computing cloud has moved shopping, social networking with friends and associates, work, entertainment and all probable involvements in life, online.
AI Paving Way for Robotics
With every upgraded versions of AI, the digital landscape is advancing. Google's search engine is getting more accurate every day mainly because it is built on AI. This, in turn, grows and circulates enormous amounts of data. Considering evereything is done online today, every action generates data, which is recorded and stored. Here, AI intervenes once again with a much more powerful grip – 'Robotics' as used to drive and control this vast amount of data.
General anticipation about the future of job prospect as a result of the AI and robotic wave isn't quite so transparent. AI is perceived to be both the bad witch, who destroys and the good angel, who creates. A few years back, during internet wave, many people had a similar belief. Eventually, however, the internet paved the way for countless unforeseen career opportunities. Let's hope the growth of AI has the same results! The new wave might just be taking human efficiency to a different level altogether.
Pros and Cons of AI Generated Content
by admin | Feb 7, 2017 | Content Automation, Ecommerce
Machine learning is the newest fad that's captured the minds of several marketing agencies, newspapers and scholars alike. You can safely call it mainstream too. The basic idea is pretty straightforward. Feed a computer system with copious examples of things you want it to "learn" — e.g. language translation, content generation — and by trimming away the outliers, the right solution/result will emerge as a statistical probability and also be recognized uniformly as the best possible match. It is easy, fast and doesn't cost like the human workforce.
So, here we list down 10 solid pros and cons of AI generated content:
1. AI Generated Content is Easy Work
Content created by artificial intelligence doesn't require extensive human input. Meaning a company can operate with a few human heads and churn numbers in vast quantities. As an organization/company your productivity increases, you earn more and save even more. This means profitability for a company as AI content is faster, better and costs less. This way you can move your focus on other important fields. Also, it's important to remember that AI generated content works as a support system and isn't separate from the human touch. It's an aid.
2. It's Made by Humans
Let's face it AI generated content is nothing but a concept created and operated by people. Essentially we are the boss. The tedious algorithms are written by professional programmers who "teach" the machine to develop a skill set. The machine learning can be altered or tweaked according to our whims and fancy.
3. Capture Various Platforms in one Go
You don't need to hire a large team for your increasing content demands as AI can churn relevant content in huge numbers with the touch of a button. This means fewer people to manage at a workspace, less dependency on interdepartmental communication and less fear of your content eroding in quality. Besides, you can publish the content across various channels quickly and easily, whenever you need to.
4. Creates Efficient Content
Thanks to the richly designed templates and the power of creating thousands of variations, the artificial intelligence aided content is useful in both numbers and quality. For each individual or company, automation can generate several iterations of descriptions and break down complex information. Also, when work is done manually, there is a clear risk of human error. However, with automation quality is never undermined and a standard is always maintained.
5. Personalisation Becomes a Cake Walk
The best part of AI is the ease with which you can tailor make content for different clients and audiences. Be it, targeted groups or particular individuals, machine generated content is a cost-effective way of reaching out to several platforms with personalized content.
1. Lacks an Understanding of Human Behavior
Application of artificial intelligence can yield impressive results regarding quantity, but the content generated can lack a common sense of human behavior. The algorithms can put 2+2 together factually, but invariably lacks a sense of emotion that good emotive content requires.
2. Black & White, Can't do Gray
AI generated content is all things binary. It can tell you what is good or bad, but it can't tell you the gray areas. It lacks the judgment to give an opinion on products or items one can't give a definitive answer on. Such gray areas can only be tackled by a human content expert.
3. It Can't Come up with New Ideas and Lacks Common Sense
Content created by artificial intelligence is based on existing data and facts. It can't think up new and fresh ideas. It works around the data it has accumulated and information it has been fed. Automated content can lack common sense. Why do we say that? A mix and match of algorithms can make a red carpet blue or a woolen shawl polyester. AI can't see lines, circles, squares or color. It doesn't know textures or the feel of those textures. This is not to say that AI content is flawed. It just needs extra time in automating several categories and combining several narratives at once.
4. Context and Depth Goes Down
AI generated content lacks an emotive quality. While the content will read great and be churned in massive numbers, the content can't empathize or go in the depth of a conversation. It can only opine and talk about the narratives and categories it's combined with and taught about.
5. Human Articles are Easily Distinguishable in a Flood of AI Content
No matter how extraordinary the learning of your machine is through structured data, the fact is machine generated content can't be subjective and lacks the art of giving opinions. While a machine can talk about the look and features of a product like a pro, it can't really raise an argument or give an opinion on a subject or product. Human writing reflects our wealth of knowledge on the subject and has an emotive quality a machine can't match up to no matter the level of calibration and customization.
The crux of the matter is, applications of artificial intelligence to generate content is the next big thing that will create its own place in content creation. Of course! This does not mean human content expertise will no longer be needed. Content automation requires time and effort. You need to have a rock solid understanding of branching and rule-based logic. Besides, there is always the need for additional tweaking, editing, and improvements. The best part is, that AI content helps create efficient content that can be personalized for different audiences at lightning speed in the best possible way. It's a lifesaver, particularly because AI generated content helps save money and increases the productivity of a company.

eCommerce Content Automation is the 'It' Thing, and It's Time You Know Why!
by admin | Jan 6, 2017 | Content Automation, Ecommerce
From inventory management and price control to image processing and product listing, most facets of an eCommerce business involve some automation. And why not, automation speeds up processes, scales your business, increases consistency and lowers costs. If you skip this important part, it's very likely that you'll lose visitors and sales a competitor (who is fiercely using automation).
But what happened to the automation of product descriptions? Why is there not a push for creative content that is easy to churn, requires less engagement and is, in turn, is inexpensive?
Supposed Risks/Fears of Product Description Automation:
Tough Implementation
The idea of creating automation is good but doing it often requires hard work, research and a sound knowledge of algorithms. This means time, money and human resource involvement, none of which are easy things to come by.
There is a fear that automated content will be repetitive, boring and predictable. It's a machine after all, and so will need human involvement to keep up with the changes in the tone and views of the product or the company. This makes the whole idea of automation more or less half-baked.
Many worry that automation can make the art of content development robotic and impersonal. Such automation can undermine the brand relationship that can be achieved only through human contact.
The Pros of Content Description Automation:
You remain competitive, as busy work like churning out hundreds of product descriptions becomes a cakewalk. You get what you want, at the time you want it. This leads to increased productivity.
Individual Writing can be Expensive
Keyword research, writing, editing and project management overheads all require a monetary investment. Also, there are many situations where you might not need completely unique copies if you are just writing about different variants of the same product. Automation cuts through these layers and offers significant cost savings as it's machine generated and eliminates the need to hire writers.
Consistency in Quality
Let's face it no two writers can write the same. Also, it's a tad difficult to make different writers follow the same tone and brand voice for consistency. This requires mentoring and overseeing. Automation removes human error at all levels as it can be standardized to your needs.
No Dependency
You can time your uploads without worrying that they won't be ready. There is no human dependency, which makes the process straight forward and fast.

The Damage to Come
NaTavia Williams, Sara Hebel
Where We're Headed in the States
I talked with David Tandberg a little more than three months ago, when we were all just starting to wrap our heads around what it means to live through a pandemic.
Back then, Tandberg, the senior vice president of policy research and strategic initiatives at the State Higher Education Executive Officers Association, was worried about the hit state budgets were about to take — and how looming cuts could further erode the public role of higher ed.
Needless to say, Tandberg's worries haven't diminished.
As new fiscal years get underway in most states, here's what he's noticed so far and what he'll be watching in the months (and years) ahead:
There aren't many tuition increases. This is different from other economic downturns when colleges often have raised rates to help make up for state cuts. Now, Tandberg says, colleges seem to recognize that times are tough for students and families. They're also worried about their enrollments. Keeping tuition rates the same can help colleges compete for students, Tandberg says, or at least not worsen their position in the market.
There's also the question now of how much students and families will pay for an all-online experience, as more colleges move away from in-person instruction for the fall. Many students are demanding tuition discounts (and some colleges are providing them).
Down the road, though, the numbers aren't going to add up. Tandberg says he expects that we'll eventually see pretty significant tuition increases, especially if our economic downturn persists for a number of years.
Quality and completion will almost certainly suffer. To respond to budget challenges, many colleges have laid off faculty and staff, furloughed employees, and left open positions unfilled. That means students will now be missing people who may be critical to providing the education and support they need to finish their degrees, Tandberg says. "My concern is that the research is quite clear that, particularly at low-resourced institutions, money really matters for quality and completions and student success."
The gaps will only widen between the haves and the have-nots. There's a simple way for states to try to balance the budget: Make across-the-board cuts. The problem with that, Tandberg says, is that it's like arguments about a flat tax. On the surface it sounds fair to say that everyone will be assessed the same 10-percent tax rate or face the same 10-percent budget cut.
But the issue, he says, is what's in the bank account. If there's not much there, a 10-percent tax will loom large — and a 10-percent cut can be detrimental. For smaller, regionally and locally oriented colleges, there's not much in the bank, Tandberg says. That across-the-board reduction will cut deeper.
Federal aid is critical. The probability of another federal stimulus package that includes money for higher education is very high, Tandberg says, but he's worried about whether it will be enough. "Federal funding right now is not optional," he says. "I don't see how many institutions can survive, or survive in the ways we need them to, without it."

Customers Instead of Citizens
Colleges trying to figure out what to do about the fall are in a hard spot right now because of decades of pubic disinvestment in higher education, Tressie McMillan Cottom, an associate professor and senior research fellow at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, said this week on MSNBC's "All In with Chris Hayes."
Here's why: We're looking at higher education through a customer lens, not a citizen one. There's a workable way to plan the fall semester for students and for citizens, she said. There's not a workable way to do it for customers.
"After 30 years of conditioning people to think of higher education as any other consumer good, and to think of students and families as customers, we now have to pay the piper," she told Hayes.
"The customer wants a certain experience. Well, customers are not the right sort of framework to think about the moment that we are in. A global health pandemic is larger than a customer. A global health pandemic requires a citizen response, a public response. The problem is we spent a lot of time starving our public institutions … And because of that we now have to deal with customers when we would probably prefer to deal with students."
Watch the full interview:
Belonging, Mentorship, and Race
The popular phrase, "It's not always what you know, but who you know" explains the importance of relationship building in professional settings. In college, mentors serve as gatekeepers that can help students unlock career opportunities. But student access to these powerful connections is uneven, with Black students often facing more hurdles than their white classmates in benefiting from a meaningful mentorship.
Past research has shown, for example, that race plays a role not only in whether an undergraduate has a mentor but who that mentor is. A 2018 Strada-Gallup survey of college graduates found that fewer than half of the first-generation and minority students who said they had a meaningful mentor reported that that person was a professor. In contrast, three-quarters of white respondents said their mentor was a faculty member.
The importance of mentors was highlighted again in a recent study about social belonging and how colleges can improve students' transition to college.
How One Hour Can Help
A brief intervention could make a big difference — and set Black students up for success both in college and beyond, the researchers found. The intervention they studied is a one-hour session where the participants heard, and reflected on, stories from older students about their transition to college. They shared how they struggled with belonging and also how that improved over time.
That short session, the researchers said, seemed to make students who faced adversities in their following interactions less likely to view those as any kind of indication that they didn't belong. Shifting how they viewed their social context may then have helped them do more to thrive in college, including by forming supportive mentor relationships.
Now, looking at the participants' lives seven to 11 years later, the researchers found they reported greater career satisfaction and success, psychological well-being, and community involvement and leadership.
A Common Worry
Shannon Brady, assistant professor of psychology at Wake Forest University, was one of the researchers. She says she was especially struck by just how much a common worry can impede Black students' relationships. Even just a one-hour session, she says, helps break down that hurdle because students see that their worries aren't impossible to fix.
"We give them a chance to reflect on it themselves," Brady says, "and broadly what we find is people find a way that it does connect."
Here's what else she says colleges can do to help:
Train staff in how to understand and interact with students from different backgrounds.
Track disparities in mentorship, and then fix them.
Provide opportunities for students and professors to make organic connections. Events that work like speed dating, for example, could help student-mentor pairs form more naturally around shared interests.

Q: Get web service response data I have made this so far. It's code that will make a json String request with an http Header. When i run this code i get no errors. But i get a Expression result unused warning. I should get a response from the web service after sending this http header.
code:
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];

    NSString *nid = @"";
    NSString *vocab = @"";
    NSString *inturl = @"testoverview";
    NSString *mail = @"chh@fbr.dk";
    NSString *md5pw = @"4d57e7ef1b7c3f431aca424764e9d786";

    NSDictionary *jsonDictionary = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
                                    nid, @"nid",
                                    vocab, @"vocab",
                                    inturl, @"inturl",
                                    mail, @"mail",
                                    md5pw, @"md5pw",nil];
    NSError *error;
    NSData *jsonData = [NSJSONSerialization dataWithJSONObject:jsonDictionary options:NSJSONWritingPrettyPrinted error:&error];
    NSString *jsonString = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:jsonData encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];

    if (!jsonData) {
        NSLog(@"Got an error; %@", error);
            } else if(jsonData) {

                NSString *url = @"http://www.taenk.dk/services/mobile";
                NSMutableURLRequest *request = [NSMutableURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:url] cachePolicy:NSURLCacheStorageAllowed timeoutInterval:30.0];

                [request setValue:jsonString forHTTPHeaderField:@"X-FBR-App"];
                [[NSURLConnection alloc] initWithRequest:request delegate:self]; <-- this line triggers the warning: "Expression result unused"

                NSLog(@"jsonString %@", jsonString);

            }

Can anybody clarify 2 things for me:

*

*Does this trigger a response as soon as the request to the web service?

*If yes, how do i print this result out?

A: You need to assign the result to a variable like
NSURLConnection *con = [[NSURLConnection alloc] initWithRequest:...

for later use (e.g. [con cancel];)
Then you should at least implement the delegate method connection:didFailWithError:. In the class reference I don't see the connection:didFinishLoading... anymore. Can you use the sendSynchronousRequest:returningResponse:error: instead, then you'll have the result, be it positive or negative.
This is how I retrieved the data (this version is without ARC):
- (void) connection :(NSURLConnection *)conn didReceiveData :(NSData *)data {
    NSString *msg = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:data encoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding];
    [self checkAutoMailReply:msg];
    [msg release];
}

msg contains the pure response data, no header or such.

As Alan Kohler said this week - the superannuation fund providers can't break the law because there are no controls on the activities of the superanuation fund providers. When the government legislated for all australian wage earners to compulsorily contribute to superannuation it placed no restrictions on the fees charged by the superannuation providers. Its the wild wild west out there where the individual carries the risk of downturns in the economy and bad investment decisions.

Malaria fever is viral by mosquitoes.Treatment obviously depends on the type of infection. Patients with P. falciparum malaria should be evaluated thoroughly in view of potential seriousness of the disease and possibility of resistance to anti malarial drugs.
All patients with malaria should be carefully and thoroughly assessed for complications of malaria. Acute, life-threatening complications occur only in P. falciparum malaria. Malaria is probably the only disease of its kind that can be easily treated in just 3 days, yet if the diagnosis and proper treatment are delayed, it can kill the patient very quickly and easily.
All cases of severe malaria should be presumed to have P. falciparum malaria or treated as such.
If there is any uncertainty about the drug sensitivity of the parasite, it is safer to treat these cases as chloroquine resistant malaria with drugs like quinine or artemisinin.
All cases of severe malaria should be admitted to the hospital for proper evaluation, treatment and monitoring.
All cases of severe malaria should be treated with injectable antimalarials (quinine, artemisinin derivatives) so as to ensure adequate absorption and plasma drug levels. Once the patientg is able to take oral medications, artimisinin combination therapy must be used as per recommendations.
All associated conditions should be carefully assessed and treated.
Patient's age and weight should be recorded so as to administer adequate doses of anti malarial drugs.
Functional capacity- independent, dependent, bed ridden etc. All patients with severe prostration and who are looking ill should be admitted to a hospital and monitored.
Patients with nausea and vomiting should be given anti emetic drugs to ensure adequate treatment. While high-grade fever frequently stimulates vomiting, this may be further aggravated by anti malarial drugs. Therefore it is better to avoid administration of oral antimalarials at the height of fever. One can wait for the fever to subside before taking the drugs. If the patient vomits within one hour of taking the anti malarial drugs, the same should be re-administered. In case of persistent vomiting, patient should be admitted and vomiting should be controlled with parenteral anti emetics. Parenteral anti malarials are needed only in cases of severe malaria or uncontrolled vomiting.

Donald Trump dined with white nationalist, Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes
He said that he was invited to dinner at Mar-a-Lago by West. He showed up with three of his friends who I didn't know anything about. Many people were present on the back patio for dinner. The dinner was easy to prepare. They went to the airport.
In an extremely early 2024 campaign cycle, the front runner for the Republican presidential nomination broke bread with a man who frequently posts racist content and Holocaust revisionism, brought there by a rapper who is launching his own presidential campaign under the shadow of his own antisemitic views.
The Democratic National Committee believes that breaking bread with Nick Fuentes would disqualify Trump. The most extreme views have found a home in the GOP.
The White House said bigotry, hate, and antisemitism have no place in the United States. It is repugnant and dangerous to deny the Holocaust.
It shows how few guards are in place within the former president's political operation.
People in Trump's circle denied the former president met with Fuentes at all. It was later discovered that he dined with him after meeting with him.
Karen Giorno confirmed to POLITICO that she was at the dinner with Trump and West.
Trump was wrong to distance himself from white supremacy, according to a series of offensive and racist statements made by the host of the show. He has been removed from a number of websites. Less than a week after the former president announced he was seeking reelection and less than a month after West made antisemitic comments that cost him millions of dollars in endorsements, Trump is having dinner with the man.
In a separate statement, Trump denied knowing who Fuentes was, but he arrived with a guest whom he had never met. The Truth Social post didn't include a denunciation of West's or Fuentes' comments.
In a video titled "Mar-a-lago debrief," West talked about the dinner He said that Trump was frustrated by Fuentes because he was a loyalist and unlike so many of the lawyers and people that he was left with.
He asked Trump why he didn't free the January sixers. I came to him because I love him. I told him to get the people that the media told him to leave. Giorno and Roger Stone are both pictured in the video.
Describing the event to Milo Yiannopoulos, a far-right provocateur who he hired to help with his campaign, West said that Trump was "screaming" at him during the dinner.
Trump told me I was going to lose. Does that work for anyone in history? West said, "Whoa, whoa, hold on, hold on Trump, you're talking to Ye"
Chris made a contribution to the report.
The first name of the person was incorrect.

Prison populations in Florida continue to grow
Posted on May 17, 2010 3:00 AM EST
As time passes on, the prison population in the State of Florida continues to grow. The costs are growing to astronomical numbers, while the money being used for education and construction projects continue to dwindle. Not only do the taxpayers and the citizens of Florida pay for the exorbitant costs that accompanies a growing prison population, but the defendants who are overpopulating the jails are also paying a price. In 1995, the state spent $1.6 billion running its penal system, while in 2010, the budget calls for $2.4 billing in spending. Despite the decrease in crime across the state, the prisons are being overwhelmed by two factors. The first is the growing population in Florida, while the second is the sentencing enhancements that continue to be drafted and passed by the legislature. While the crimes of cocaine trafficking, mortgage fraud, marijuana possession and aggravated assault have been on the books for many years, the legislature continues to add more offenses punishable under the penal code. While the prisons become more populated, Miami criminal lawyers have never been more busy defending their clients in state court.
Prior to the late 70's and the early 80's, the judges sitting on circuit court benches had a wide discretion in determining sentences for defendants who entered pleas or who were found guilty after trial. Under those sentencing guidelines, there were no minimum mandatory penalties, no career criminal statutes, parole existed and prisoners usually did about 25% of their sentence prior to being released. In the 1990's, the legislature took discretion regarding sentencing away from the circuit judges by implementing sentencing guidelines. With the guidelines came offense levels and the offense severity ranking chart. As time has passed, the legal reasons for sentencing departures available to judges has also been diluted. As a result of all of these changes, the State of Florida is expected to have a prison population of 115,000 by 2015. According to reports, the 20% increase in population will require the state to build nine new prisons at an estimated cost of $862 million.
The drug trafficking minimum mandatory sentences should be revisited by the legislature. The minimum mandatory sentences came to fruition in the 1980's in an effort to combat the ongoing cocaine trafficking problem in Miami that gained national attention. Not only were trafficking minimum mandatories created for cocaine, but also for heroin and other dangerous narcotics. Eventually, the legislature included man made drugs such as oxycodone in the minimum mandatory structure. Anyone in possession of in excess of 28 grams of oxycodone pills will be charged with oxycodone trafficking and is facing a 25 year minimum mandatory sentence. Until recently minimum mandatories for marijuana trafficking did not exist. Any experienced criminal attorney in Miami could guarantee a client probation no matter the amount of marijuana being trafficked. However, with the rise of the marijuana grow house, anyone in possession of more than 25 pounds of marijuana is facing at least a three year minimum mandatory.
After the trafficking minimum mandatories were created, the career criminal statutes were passed piece meal over the years. Some of the sentencing rules allowed for the doubling of prison sentences, while other statutes imposed lengthy minimum mandatory and life sentences. The law changed that set forth the premise that life meant life. Parole was no longer available, and if a defendant was sentenced to life, he or she left jail in a pine box, unless he or she was lucky enough to win some type of post-conviction relief motion or appeal. While an argument can be made for the enhanced sentenced handed down for violent crimes, out of fairness to some defendants, and in an effort to decrease the state's budget, some of the minimum mandatory laws need to be relaxed and more discretion must be given to our elected judiciary.

A plastic circular-thing? Where did that come from?
This plastic ring was the ring that used to be on the end of the pen I use for my Humalog. It's the part of the pen that has the threads that are used when screwing a new pen needle onto the top (the threads that hold the pen needles on the pen...).
I would expect that these things might break after a certain point, and sure, my pen is more than just a few years old, but still... what an odd place for the plastic to break!
So I'm sitting there in the office, wondering what to do. I've got nothing that I can use to deliver my Humalog. Do I leave and go get a new pen? No, taking the bus back to my pharmacy and then back to work would take up the rest of the morning. Can I last the rest of the day with no Humalog? Probably, since I'm pretty confident that my breakfast dose was enough for the food I ate. Quick, must check! 6.4. K good.
A quick chat with the Boss-Man confirmed that it would be ok for me to cut out early to go get a new pen (& I received a stern reminder that if I had even the slightest worry that my numbers were rising, I was to leave immediately to go get a new pen so I could treat it. I love where I work). Next up was the phone call to my pharmacy, which confirmed that they had a HumaPen in stock and would hold onto it for me. I left work mid-afternoon to go pick up the new pen, and put it to use as soon as I got through the door.
The new one is green! To be quite honest, my first thought was that this colour is too close to the blue/green of my Levemir pen, and I'm not comfortable having the two pens be so similar. My old purple pen was different enough that it gave me some comfort knowing that I was less likely to mix up the two pens when I was tired or not thinking clearly. I know that I'll be starting on a pump in a few weeks, and will rarely be using either pen at that point, but...still.
The new pen won me over pretty quickly though. I inserted the vial of Humalog, screwed the top on, and pushed the plunger up so it was ready to go. Just for fun, I pulled the plunger all the way back to check, and - yep - this pen has the same maximum # of units as my old one (I've never actually delivered 30 units at one time, but I still wanted to check!). Ok, shoot a unit or two to check that insulin is coming out of the needle - yes - excellent! Dial the plunger down to 4, lift shirt, deep breath, and - into my stomach it goes.
Click - click - click - click - click - click - click - what the hell?
I stop, panicked. I haven't pushed the plunger all the way in, so my dose isn't finished, but...7 clicks (with more still to go)?! Remove needle from abdomen. Start hyperventilating. What witchcraft is this? The window says 4 units, but I've had 7 clicks, meaning...not 7 units? I look at the window more closely. THIS PEN DELIVERS HALF-UNITS?!
Whoa. Mind, blown. I asked my pharmacist a few months ago whether Humalog pens capable of half-units existed or were available, and he told me no. Has this become available since then? Was it there the whole time, we just didn't know it? At this point I don't really care. I know it's only for 2 more weeks, and then I'll be pumping, but still: the ability to give half-unit doses is going to help me to improve my diabetes care, and anything that does that is a good thing in my books. You won't catch me saying it often, but yesterday was definitely a day where I'm lucky that a diabetes device broke :D.
Last week was a pretty busy week (diabetes-devices-wise, that is). I received a phone call on Monday from the Medtronic rep who had been helping me navigate through the process of figuring out whether my insurance would provide cgm coverage – she was calling because when we had last spoken, I'd told her that my "pump start" date was in May. She called to ask me whether that was still the case, since her office hadn't received my forms from my d-clinic.
A voicemail to my diabetes nurse was returned within a half hour, and she told me something must have slipped up and not been sent. She assured me that my form would be faxed over ASAP, and reminded me that once my pump is delivered, I was to open it and play with it (become familiar with how it works, etc) in preparation for my pump start meeting.
The Medtronic rep called me back the next day to tell me everything was in order, and to ask me details re: the shipping stuff. She asked which types of infusion sets I'd like to try out, as they'd be sending me samples of some of them to get me through the first month. Apparently going on the pump comes with a month of infusion sets and reservoirs, and after that patients are stuck buying the next month out of pocket before the government funding kicks in (boo....). I arranged to have all of my stuff shipped to my mother's work address, since I can't sign for anything at home (they deliver from 9-5) and can't take deliveries at work. Shipments arrived the next day, so I got to spend the Easter long weekend playing with my pump!
Even better: Yesterday, two more boxes arrived. Apparently a new pump comes with a new meter (for wirelessly communicating BGs back to the pump and cgm), which is at the same time cool (whoa new stuff) and frustrating (I LIKED my contour usb meter...). The second box was filled with PUMP SWAG: the cool gear they sent along as a part of a two-week promotion for which I was lucky enough to qualify. They sent over a sport case, a sport waistband, a bra clip, and a silicone skin.
So far I've only just started reading through the (absolutely massive) instruction manual that comes with the pump.
First impressions: holy crap, it's going to be easy to screw this up.
I think it's going to be an interesting learning process!

Penn State goaltender robs opponent with incredible stick save (Video)
By Sean LeahyOct 14, 2017, 7:53 AM EDT
Penn State's men's hockey team won their fourth straight Big Ten conference opener thanks to a strong power play and the goaltending of Peyton Jones, who will find himself on many highlight reels this weekend.
With the Nittany Lions up 3-0 on the Minnesota Golden Gophers late in the second period, Jones, who stopped 20 of 21 shots faced, kept his shutout alive with this dazzling stick save on Mike Szmatula:
Hey @Buccigross any room on the #SCTop10 tonight for this incredible stick save by @Peyton_Jones31?? @SportsCenterhttps://t.co/DnzQBnEZYw
— Penn State Hockey (@PennStateMHKY) October 14, 2017
"I've obviously seen saves like that before on SportsCenter, but I've never seen one live," Penn State head coach Guy Gadowsky said via USCHO. "It was pretty incredible."
Jones, a sophomore who was making his 19th consecutive start, did find himself on SportsCenter's top 10 plays of the night Friday, landing at No. 3.
The Nittany Lions, with help from two power play goals, would hold on to win 3-1 to improve to 2-1-0 on the season.

It might be time to say goodbye to the "Fighting Sioux" moniker
By Joe YerdonJun 13, 2012, 10:09 AM EDT
The University of North Dakota will be looking for a new nickname for their sports teams.
Voters in North Dakota chose to retire the Fighting Sioux moniker the university's sports teams have had for year by a 67.35 percent to 32.65 percent margin according to the Grand Forks Herald.
The Fighting Sioux name has come under fire in recent years thanks to the NCAA looking to move away from "hostile and abusive" nicknames and mascots for schools. North Dakota's men's hockey team fought hard to keep the name, but the NCAA and member conferences in other sports put the squeeze on the university by threatening to ban the school from playoffs because of the name.
University president Robert Kelley sounds resigned to giving up the name in a statement after the vote.
We are appreciative that voters took the time to listen and to understand the issues and the importance of allowing the University to move forward. We also understand how deeply this has affected all of us.
Tuesday's vote allows us to focus our attention on our students as we continue to build exceptional programs in all areas of the University. We appreciate the support that has been expressed for the University of North Dakota over the past several weeks, and especially for UND Athletics. It is support that will continue to be important as we build a great future for the University and for UND Athletics.
We will continue to work with the State Board of Higher Education, the North Dakota University System, and the leadership in athletics as we move forward.
The school has fought hard to keep the name and while they've been respectful of the Sioux name, it appears change is coming for North Dakota.
(h/t Jennifer Conway on UND statement)

Q: Computation differences of RBMs and CNNs CNNs often surpass RBMs in most computer vision tasks in terms of classification accuracy. However, has there been any analysis comparing the following factors:

*

*Hyper-parameter sensitivity

*Amount of training data required

*Computational power/time required

Note that I do understand that RBMs and CNNs are two completely different algorithms, as covered in this question. However, they can and often are, both used for classification. Even though in classification, the RBM is mostly just used as a feature extractor for an SVM.

A: If RBM reference to a Restricted Boltzmann Machine than there is no reason to compare RBM and CNN, because they are completely different algorithms. CNN is supervised algorithm and RBM is unsupervised. They are trying to achieve different goals in different ways.

56% of All Sexual Crimes in NI Committed Against Under 18s in 2021, we need a system that better supports them – Children's Commissioner
24 February 2022 News
Ahead of launching "Putting the Child at the Centre – Barnahus (Children's House) – a one door approach to supporting children who have been sexually abused in NI", Koulla Yiasouma, NI Commissioner for Children and Young People, explains why Northern Ireland should join the growing number of countries who have introduced 'Barnahus' for their children and young people:
"There is already a robust body of evidence in Northern Ireland about the weaknesses in the current system of investigating and prosecuting sexual crimes against children[i]. The need for system change was reiterated by professionals from across criminal justice, health and social care and the voluntary sector in this research.
"The young people who took part clearly outlined their need for their experience of sexual abuse to be believed and validated. They also talked about a loss of identity and their fear of sharing their experiences within the criminal justice system. All evidence that children have not been at the centre of these processes. They make the strongest case for why the system must change.
"If we took a 'Barnahus' approach, children would be interviewed and medically examined for forensic purposes, comprehensively assessed, and receive recovery services from relevant professionals all within one location, "under one roof". This aims to prevent re-traumatisation during the subsequent investigation and court proceedings. Barnahus is designed around the needs of children and young people, not the criminal justice system."
'Barnahus' a Scandinavian word for 'Children's House' is currently in various stages of implementation across 22 countries including England and the Republic of Ireland.
Koulla said, "We know that for children the journey from initial disclosure of abuse through to when the case is completed at court can be long and daunting and can hinder their recovery. This is not in the interests of child victims or in the wider interests of justice."
Recent PSNI statistics indicate that children are the predominant victim group for sexual offences in NI with 56% (2197) of all recorded sexual crimes in 2021 being committed against under 18s[ii].
"We need a better system that supports them right through from disclosure, to seeking justice and recovery.
"Our report builds on the Department of Justice scoping review from October 2019 and makes a clear statement that Barnahus is the most supported model in which to progress this." said the Commissioner.
During the research process Sir John Gillen, who led an independent review of arrangements around the delivery of justice in instances of serious sexual offences in NI, said "The attitude [toward Barnahus] must be a "can do" not "I can't do". We should be saying what can we do here to do this? Because the concept is absolutely first class. It's worked in Norway, Greenland, Denmark, Finland, and Lithuania, it's working in England. I'm just a bit concerned that you can sit down if you're a civil servant and think of 100 reasons why all the money shouldn't be spent here. You know children are being absolutely devastated by this whole process – that's without price."
The Commissioner concluded: "Children should not have to put their lives on hold for months and years as they wait for cases to be concluded. They must never again feel lost in the system which aims to support them. The report and its recommendations act as a roadmap by which a Barnahus service can be realised in Northern Ireland. Time to get on with implementation."

Sonámbulo cancellation adds to FIA woes

Beloved band Sonámbulo Psicotropical plays... at Jazz Café in 2012, not at the International Arts Festival (FIA), where their show was cancelled. Twice. (Alberto Font/The Tico Times)
As the troubled 2015 edition of the International Arts Festival limps to a close, the show of popular national band Sonámbulo Psicotropical promised to be a bright spot in a fortnight filled with disorganization and controversy. However, it turned out to be just another casualty on a long list of cancellations.
"WE ARE SORRY to report the cancellation of our concert… thanks to the Culture Ministry and its terrible management," read a statement on the band's Facebook page, posted four hours before the scheduled show and peppered with angry words in all capital letters. "We hereby publicly express our TOTAL INDIGNATION with the people who are currently governing our country. We could name several problems that have taken place during the past year, but today we're focusing on cultural issues."
According to the statement, the concert was cancelled because a neighbor of the concert site, the National Culture Center (CENAC) in downtown San José, complained about the noise generated by the previous nights' shows. As part of the FIA's organizational problems this year, several shows have been rescheduled and relocated to the CENAC in recent days, causing an unexpected din in the neighborhood.
Tico Times Editor-in-Chief David Boddiger, who lives in the immediate vicinity of the CENAC, said he was not the neighbor who called in the complaint but agrees with the caller.
"Apparently the 'C' in 'CENAC' stands for 'cacophony,'" he said, adding that parking during the rescheduled shows has been inefficiently and unfairly enforced. "It's been two weeks of hell – nonstop noise. Why should we have to suffer for the ministry's incompetence?"
Sonámbulo's statement went on to call for the immediate firing of Culture Minister Elizabeth Fonseca, vice ministers Luis Carlos Amador and Alfredo Chavarría, and festival organizer Inti Picado, all of whom have received ample criticism in recent weeks as the festival disintegrated before the eyes of a horrified public.
The changes capped off a week of continued fallout from initial festival disorganization that resulted in the cancellation of all major concerts, although the smaller-scale components of the festival such as artisan demonstrations and folk-music shows continued as planned. Controversy in recent days included criticism of the reported $188,000 the government paid Chilean rock group La Ley, whose show was among those cancelled but is now rescheduled for June 20, with the government assuming the costs of La Ley's trip back to Costa Rica in June as well.
The festival still offers a variety of activities on this, its final day, including performances by Zarzuela company of "El Huésped del Sevillano" at the Parque La Libertad Auditorium in Desamparados at 3 p.m., and the Grupo Folclórico Curubandá at the Aserrí Central Park at 4 p.m. A full day of action (10 a.m. to 9 p.m.) is also scheduled for the CENAC, including an hour of poetry from writers such as Carlos Villalobos and Julieta Dobles at 2 p.m.
