There's a new stock footage provider in online-town! And its name is Vimeo Stock. The name says it all: online video hosting and sharing platform Vimeo (listed as one of our 30 Best Sites for Filmmakers) has made the leap into the licensing business, with a collection of high-quality footage sourced from their creative community.
Launched today, their new stock offer includes Royalty-free stock videos in high definition, some of them exclusive to their platform, at market standard prices with discounts for members. Their collections are powerful, their content is attractive, and their service appears to be competitive for the industry. You can have a look at some of their clips in the intro video above.
Here we tell you all you need to know about the new Vimeo Stock!
A few years back we saw a lot of photo-sharing platforms developing different types of stock media licensing businesses. Vimeo is one of the first to take the leap with video content, but the principle is the same: they have a massive community of filmmakers, video creatives and storytellers hosting, sharing and streaming high-quality footage on their site, so they tapped on that value by partnering with their members in a stock footage library.
Like this, Vimeo Stock launched with a collection full of high-quality footage from handpicked Vimeo members. It already features a few themed galleries and is searchable with keywords. Some of these video clips are exclusive to the platform too, which adds a nice extra boost to the offer.
And given Vimeo currently has over 80 million members worldwide, they have not only a collective of talented contributors at hand but also a huge pool of potential buyers right at their fingertips. Not bad an idea!
Check out Vimeo Stock and discover their cool video clips.
All Vimeo Stock clips are under Royalty-free license for commercial use, so as you know, you only pay for them once and get to use them in an unlimited number of projects forever. For more info, check our article on what is Royalty-free stock footage and how you can benefit from it.
However, they include an additional perk: Vimeo members, to any of their three membership tiers, get a 20% off in Vimeo Stock content. You don't have to be a member to be able to purchase stock footage though, and in the same fashion, you get a discount in a membership if you've acquired a video clip.
So far we told you about a royalty-free stock video marketplace selling HD and 4K footage at affordable yet standard prices. This is what most of the Best Stock Footage Sites do as well. So, what's the unique value in Vimeo Stock?
The company resumes it in three main aspects of their offer. Firstly, the curation level: theirs is a tightly curated library where all clips were hand-selected and are of very high quality.
Secondly, the production value. All Vimeo Stock clips come from renowned, award-winning and talented filmmakers and video creatives, all recruited by Vimeo from their own members base. Some of these artists and production houses had never sold their work as stock before. Even more, some of them are selling their videos exclusively on Vimeo Stock. As a result, you can expect stock footage here to be of a very high level, and their promo reels certainly reflect it.
Last but not least, is the workflow experience. Vimeo Stock works seamlessly with Vimeo's workflow tools, so members working with it will be able to not only purchase stock clips, edit and finalise their video projects but also host, organise and distribute them, all in one place. Again is not something not seen before (think of Adobe Stock for example), but sales at the point of use are relatively new and unexplored in stock video, so this is could be a nice perk for many.
As we said, contributors shaping up this stock video library are all members of Vimeo whom host, stream and share their videos on the platform and where privately invited to sell their productions in the new marketplace.
The company is pleased to tell the world they pay out 60% to 70% in contributor royalties, which is high for the industry standard but at the same time is not the only similar deal around (Videoblocks comes to mind).
If this appeals to you and you wish to make money selling your work at Vimeo Stock, you are, at least for now, out of luck: it works on an invite-only basis at the moment, and they're not currently adding more artists onboard. They do offer you to fill in a form to show your interest in a future opening for submissions, though. So perhaps you could be offering your videos on there soon.
And that's all we know so far about the brand new Vimeo Stock service for Royalty Free stock footage. Of course, brand new does not mean inexpert, as it's none other than Vimeo who's behind it. This is a highly successful video platform, and their new licensing service looks well-thought, high-end, and potentially great.
Will they become your next stock footage supplier? You tell us!
Visit the new Vimeo Stock site and judge yourself!

I know this post is a like few days late I was suppose to post on Sunday, but I just didn't have the time to write anything. I was enjoying my time at home just doing nothing. It was nice to get up late, stay in bed not do anything. Watch t.v just lie in bed and enjoy of not doing anything. It was nice for a change just do "NOTHING", its very rare that I go into work later in the afternoon. I try to get as much in before I start to work that early evening. I think I did.
Last week, was a busy week for me. I started gym last week, I made myself go to to the gym. I actually like doing leg presses and walking on the treadmill. I try to visit my mother in the rehab twice a week; even though we just sit there and watch t.v. I made valentine cards for my closest friends,I'm not a big valentines day person I like to make cards that are dark and protesting the day haha. I worked on Valentines' day but I have some friends that gave me a treats like Anna Marie, who gave me some cookies from Ruby Snap. My closest friend Maritta, who gave me a pez and some candy and cannot forget my dear friend Carissa, who sent me a card. It was very cute to get something in the mail. I try loading up her card but it would not load cause of my lack of a computer. So when I can I will try again to load her very cute card. Oh yes, my boss bought us a pizza and soda a very happy day. I must say.
the finish card all that work.
A future pick of my card from Carissa, coming soon. In the near future I will be getting a new laptop and I hope soon.

This book is available as part of What Everyone Needs to Know
Michael Ruse
The first fully comprehensive treatment of the atheism issue, considering the topic historically, philosophically, theologically, sociologically and psychologically.
Stresses that atheism is a moral issue and not just a matter of the facts
Features a discussion of the meaning of life and whether or not one can be a happy and satisfied atheist
Written in an easily accessible style
Over the last decade, "New Atheists" such as Sam Harris, Richard Dawkins, and Christopher Hitchens have pushed the issue of atheism to the forefront of public discussion. Yet very few of the ensuing debates and discussions have managed to provide a full and objective treatment of the subject.
Atheism: What Everyone Needs to Know provides a balanced look at the topic, considering atheism historically, philosophically, theologically, sociologically and psychologically. Written in an easily accessible style, the book uses a question and answer format to examine the history of atheism, arguments for and against atheism, the relationship between religion and science, and the issue of the meaning of life-and whether or not one can be a happy and satisfied atheist. Above all, the author stresses that the atheism controversy is not just a matter of the facts, but a matter of burning moral concern, both about the stand one should take on the issues and the consequences of one's commitment.

Chapter Twelve: The Meaningful Life
Michael Ruse was born in 1940 in England. Raised in a Quaker family, he went to Bootham School in York and then to the University of Bristol, where he majored in mathematics and philosophy. In 1962 he emigrated to Canada and did graduate work at McMaster University in Ontario. He returned to Bristol to do his doctoral degree in philosophy. He taught at the University of Guelph from 1965 to 2000, and then to avoid compulsory retirement moved south to Florida State University. He is the author or editor of over fifty books, the founding editor of Biology and Philosophy, the recipient of four honorary degrees, a Guggenheim Fellow, a Gifford Lecturer, and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada. His academic interests are in the history and philosophy of the biological sciences and he is an expert on the work and influence of Charles Darwin. In recent years, his attention has been turned increasingly towards the relationships between science and religion. He is not a believer, but thinks that the two can exist together harmoniously.
"Fully aware of how tedious tracts on either theology or atheism can be, Michael Ruse sets out not to be boring. He succeeds! As a nonbeliever who hesitates to call himself an atheist, he also strives in this book to be balanced and fair to his opponents. I'll let other readers decide whether he succeeds or not, but I can say that even where I disagree with him, I find his book much more informed and compelling than the recent, much less educated New Atheist putdowns of people of faith. Before reading Dennett, Dawkins, Harris or Hitchens, read Michael Ruse."-- John F. Haught, Professor Emeritus of Theology, Georgetown University
"Atheism: What Everyone Needs to Know is an excellent scholarly yet very readable account of an important subject, which reveals its complexity and contradictions along with those of the human mind itself."-- Edward O. Wilson, University Research Professor Emeritus, Harvard University
"... Atheism: What Everyone Needs to Know, is in fact a refreshing contrast to much of the polemics of the New Atheists. Although he [Ruse] too writes for a popular audience with verve, wit, and passion, his discussion is far more informed and intellectually sophisticated. ... Unlike the New Atheists, Ruse insists on a substantial discussion of the meaning and intellectual bases of theism before taking up the case against it." --Commonweal
Easter for a non-believer
I have ambivalent feelings about Easter. I am sure I am not alone in this attitude towards the greatest of events on the Christian calendar, especially among people who grew up, as I did, in intensely religious (and loving) families but who have long put their Christian beliefs behind them. As it happens, my family were Quakers and that religion does not mark out the church festivals. But I went to a school that had a great musical tradition and each year there was a performance of one of the Bach Passions, alternating the St Matthew with the St John.
Atheism: Above all a moral issue
The New Atheists ' Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, Dan Dennett, and the late Christopher Hitchens ' are not particularly comfortable people. The fallacies in their arguments beg to be used in classes on informal reasoning. The narrowness of their perspectives are remarkable even by the standards of modern academia. The prejudices against those of other cultures would be breathtaking even in the era when Britannia ruled the waves. But there is a moral fervor unknown outside the pages of the Old Testament. And for this, we can forgive much.

Kollektive Depression: Das WM-Aus in Russland war einer der großen Stimmungskiller.
Deutschlands größtes Risiko: Warum schlechte Laune und Pessimismus dem Standort schaden.
A visitor to Germany this summer will find a country living well. Gentle chit-chat and the clink of glasses murmur from sun-dappled beer gardens. Barges laden with exports chug up the Rhine. Prosperous vacationers travel to lakes and seaside resorts in new cars and slick, reliable trains. Yet striking up a conversation with one of these seemingly contented locals, the traveller may well be told that the country is going to the dogs. The discussion might begin with disconsolate reflections on the national team's dismal performance in the football World Cup, then find its way on to the storm clouds over German industry, political instability and perhaps the difficulties of integrating the many migrants who have arrived in recent years. Are they really talking about the same country?

Whirlpool Corp.: Structuring the Deal to Acquire Hefei Rongshida Sanyo Electric Company
by Benjamin C. Esty and Nancy Hua Dai
Ian Lee, Whirlpool's VP for North Asia, had been negotiating a possible acquisition with Jackie Jin, the chairman of a leading Chinese appliance manufacturer named Hefei Rongshida Sanyo Electric Company (Hefei Sanyo), for almost six months when suddenly Hefei Sanyo's stock price jumped 25% in the first two weeks of May 2013. The sudden price increase not only increased the likely acquisition price for an ownership stake in Hefei Sanyo, but also meant that Whirlpool had lost the luxury of both time and secrecy. Lee had to quickly decide how to structure a deal that enabled Whirlpool to acquire controlling ownership position (>50%) in the state-owned enterprise (SOE)—something that had not been done before; how much to pay for the stake; and how to ensure commercial, regulatory, and political approval for the deal.

MoviePass: The 'Get Big Fast' Strategy
Benjamin C. Esty and Daniel Fisher
In August 2017, MoviePass dramatically lowered its subscription price from $50 per month to just $10 for up to one movie per day. The idea was to rapidly scale the business to the point where they could generate incremental revenue streams form related businesses (e.g., a share of ticket and concession revenues from theaters, advertising revenue from movie studios; and revenue from ride-sharing companies). Within two days, Moviepass had gotten 150k new subscribers; within six months, they had more than 2 million. But as of February 2018, the company faced three challenges: theaters were resisting the concept, investors were shorting the stock in record numbers, and competitors were beginning to appear. Could CEO Lowe convince investors that they did, indeed, have a viable business model and could monetize their growing subscriber base? At the same time, Lowe had to decide whether to raise subscription prices to cover the growing losses or keep prices low to attract subscribers as quickly as possible.

Gillette: Cutting Prices to Regain Share
After losing market share to low-priced competitors such as Harry's and Dollar Shave Club for several years, Gillette decided to fight back by cutting prices on its razors and blades in April 2017. Bonnie Herzog, an equity analyst at Wells Fargo, must assess how the recently announced price cuts are likely to affect Gillette's earnings and its parent company's earnings (Procter & Gamble owns Gillette). As part of her analysis, Herzog must estimate the price elasticity of demand for Gillette's razors and blades. The case contains scanner data which allows students to calculate both price elasticities for a sample of Gillette products.

Hapag-Lloyd AG: Complying with IMO 2020
Benjamin C. Esty, Mette Fuglsang Hjortshoej and Emer Moloney
A new environmental regulation known as IMO 2020 was creating what one industry analyst called "the biggest shakeup for the oil and shipping industries in decades." According to the new regulation, all ocean-going ships would have to limit their sulfur emissions by January 1, 2020. Senior leaders at Hapag-Lloyd, one of the world's largest shipping companies, were evaluating three ways their ships could comply with the new regulation: use low-sulfur fuel, use high-sulfur fuel but install scrubbers to clean the exhaust, or convert ships to use liquid natural gas (LNG) as fuel. Each of the options had its advantages and disadvantages, and the most attractive option depended on not only the values of key parameters (e.g., future fuel prices and equipment costs), but also the strategies adopted by the owners of the other 60,000 ocean-going ships subject to the regulation. For the industry as a whole, annual compliance could cost as much as $60 billion; for Hapag-Lloyd, annual compliance might cost as much as $1 billion or more. For a company with net income of $34 million (€28 million) in the prior year, and losses in two of the past four years, getting this decision right was of the utmost importance. Senior executives at Hapag-Lloyd had created a proposed compliance plan and were scheduled to present it to the firm's supervisory board for approval in June 2018. Whether the team had the right plan and whether the board would approve it are the key questions in the case.

BATTERY PARK CITY AUTHORITY RELEASES FALL 2016 EVENTS CALENDAR
More than 300 Programs and Events Open to All
The Battery Park City Authority (BPCA) today announced release of its Fall 2016 Parks Programming Calendar, detailing more than 300 public programs and events taking place throughout Battery Park City from September to December. The full calendar of mostly-free programs – including storytelling, arts and games, exercise, tours, a movie night, and more – has been mailed to all Battery Park City Parks mailing list subscribers and should start arriving in mailboxes next week. It can also be accessed online via the BPC Parks website.
"Fresh off an amazing summer season of more than 500 public programs and events, attended by some 40,000 guests, we're proud to present our Fall Calendar – chock full new events and familiar favorites alike" said BPCA President and Chief Operating Officer Shari C. Hyman. "From the eager anglers of our popular Go Fish! catch-and-release fishing to the new harmonies of Dockapella, our first-ever a cappella festival, this autumn Battery Park City is a family-friendly destination for all ages. Come join us!"
The Fall 2016 Parks Programming Calendar includes approximately 20 pages of illustrated program offerings, organized by those of interest to guests of all ages, teens and adults, school-age children, and pre-schoolers. It also includes a map of key Battery Park City locations, contact information for reserving the BPC Ball Fields and community event space at 6 River Terrace, as well as details about the BPC Community Center at Stuyvesant High School, for which steeply-reduced annual memberships were announced last spring.

Poston Hoping to Rebuild Rockbridge County Program
LEXINGTON (WSLS-10 SPORTS)- A 3-27 record over the past three seasons has left Rockbridge County High School's football team grounded. So the Wildcats turned to an old friend who had taught in the county and at the high school a decade or more ago.
"I'm really excited to be back it's home it's always been home. We're just really excited because of the quality of the kids and Rockbridge has always had great kids. I just want to coach them with respect and teach them how to win and just do things the right way," explains new head coach Mark Poston.
Mark Poston returns to Lexington after three years in Nelson County, but it's the 2010 season that should jog your memory.
That was the year his football rebuilding project at East Mont culminated in a berth in the Group A Div I title state title game. Now his job is to get the once mighty Rockbridge program back on track.
"Since Coach Poston has come here I've loved it. I like it better than my old school and I'm doing well. I think he's going to take us somewhere that everybody here in the county wants to go," says Rockbridge lineman Khaydon Brooks.
"We're starting to come together more and not really focus on individuals. Now we're just basically one big team. We left off with a bad taste in our mouth and we just got to go after it and get some W's, says Brice Vanderveer, the Wildcats center.
"We like to think the future is going to be really bright. We got over 70 kids in the program counting our JV and the biggest thing though is the guys bought in from February on, " says Poston.
Poston needed five seasons in East Mont to reach the pinnacle of HS football...his road back in Lexington...appears to be a bit shorter. The Wildcats open against rival Parry McCluer on August 26th.

Best Tokyo International Festivals for Kids — Tokyo Family Travel
Last Updated on May 29, 2018 by Jason Jenkins
When we lived in Tokyo, one of my favorite things to do with the kids was to hang out at one of the city's many, many festivals. We loved the traditional Japanese festivals of course. That should be a post (or posts) all of its own. However, many people are unaware of just how many international festivals the city has. Just like in places like New York City, London and other cosmopolitan cities, Tokyo international festivals run the gamut from posh, sophisticated film festivals to local, casual fairs celebrating one country or another.
Last week in a column I co-write for the Japan Times, I talked about Tokyo's summer international festival calendar and listed out a few of our favorites. Below is an excerpt from that column.
Tokyo International Festivals for Kids in Japan
Like all major cities in the world, Tokyo has a vibrant and cosmopolitan edge. Yet it can be difficult for some newcomers (and some older politicians) to see the city's multiculturalism.
One of my favorite ways to experience other cultures is at Tokyo's many international festivals. Whether you're looking for Brazil or Myanmar, Tokyo has a festival for it, where you can eat the food, hear the music and watch the dances of people from around the world. I sometimes even attempt a few dance moves myself — to the horror of my tween and teen.

Best Days Out: Best Tokyo International Festivals for an Afternoon of Fun
We love Japan's traditional matsuri (festivals), but it's also important to expose the brood to cultures further afield. Here are a few Tokyo international festivals around Tokyo that we recommend. They're all fun, free and full of opportunity.
Despite some changes over the years, our main place for cultural festivals in Tokyo is a small patch of concrete near the NHK Broadcasting Center. The Yoyogi Events Square is the setting for dozens of international events. Here you'll find stands selling food, drinks, clothing and other items from the country or region being celebrated. On the stage, musicians, dancers, DJs, storytellers and more perform. It can get crowded and hot on the pavement, but the stage is also only a footbridge crossing from Yoyogi Park, so a shady patch of grass is only minutes away.

My opinions are my own and I only recommend places/services that I believe will genuinely help you find the best things to do in Tokyo, including these Tokyo international festivals.

The NIST has published a voluntary framework to reduce cyber risk to critical infrastructure as a result of a directive inside the President's execute order for improving critical infrastructure cybersecurity.
Prevent: Categories of management, technical, and operational activities that enable the organization to decide on the appropriate outcome-based actions to ensure adequate protection against threats to business systems that support critical infrastructure components.
Detect: Activities that identify (through ongoing monitoring or other means of observation) the presence of undesirable cyber risk events, and the processes to assess the potential impact of those events.
Respond: Specific risk management decisions and activities enacted based upon previously implemented planning (from the Prevent function) relative to estimated impact.
Recover: Categories of management, technical, and operational activities that restore services that have previously been impaired through an undesirable cybersecurity risk event.
The function matrix becomes part of the critical operations manual, as it contains detailed functions pertaining to each organization on how to increase security levels, making all of them part of the business day-to-day tasks.
The framework implementation level defines three implementation levels from three perspectives: the senior executive role, the business process manager and the operational managers. The goal of this matrix is to reflect the cybersecurity state of the critical infrastructure from the previous role perspectives.
While this framework is still in draft state, I consider it a breakthrough in increasing the level of security of critical infrastructure, as critical infrastructure officers of the companies have always been reluctant to implement security measures as in the IT normal world because it goes against the way their operating processes work and because managers of these areas see no value added in these tasks. This framework shows them information security as part of their function and shows a way to integrate seamless to the normal business operation, as they work same process to prevent operation risks to the critical infrastructure, like power disruption, pipe explosion, transformer damage an many others.
You can find the framework core at http://www.nist.gov/itl/upload/draft_framework_core.pdf.

It's impossible to not have fun at a Harlem Globetrotters game.
One of the most storied and recognizable sports team in American history, the Globetrotters mix an exhibition game of basketball with hijinks, unbelievable feats of skill and talent, and plenty of crowd participation.
The Harlem Globetrotters will make a return trip to Savannah on Nov. 28 at the Savannah Civic Center.
A group of African-Americans called the Savoy Big Five began playing exhibition games in 1926 before dances at the Savoy Ballroom in Chicago. A few short years later, they would transform into the tour de force that has become the Harlem Globetrotters.
In 1929, Abe Spaterstein took over managing the team, renaming them in honor of the Harlem Renaissance happening at the same time in Harlem, N.Y., and took the show on a Midwest tour. At that time, the Globetrotters were more of a straightforward basketball team, participating in the World Professional Basketball Tournament, which they won in 1940. They beat the Minneapolis Lakers, now the Los Angeles Lakers, in 1948, when the Lakers were one of the best all-white teams in the nation.
Once the the National Basketball Association formed in 1946 and took prominence, the Globetrotters began to shift direction. In the early 1940s, they started slipping in comic acts to the games, and over subsequent decades, they've become known all over the world for their gravity-defying skills, as well prank and comedy routines.
Around that same time, the Globetrotters began taking on nicknames. One of the team's most famous players, Wilt Chamberlain, was known as The Stilt. Chamberlain was later drafted into the NBA, where he became one of the most dominant forces to ever play the game.
The team's rich history has become a driving force for today's players.
"It's truly an honor to be part of one of the truly historic brands, with so much history behind it," current Globetrotter small forward Bulldog Mack said. "We've had Harlem Globetrotters meet Popes and kings. The history goes back so far and it's truly, truly rich with genuine people. People who have changed lives and the world.
Typically, the Globetrotters will play a team like the Washington Generals in an exhibition that will include pre-game ball-handling antics, post-game autograph signing and much more in between. The game is a real game and isn't staged. While the other team will clear the way on defense for incredible dunking and dribbling feats, they will hit the other end of the court, looking to score as normal.
A Globetrotters game is also the only place to see another special long-shot, which happens to Bulldog's favorite part of the game.
Savannah has a number of ties to the Globetrotters. Most recently, former Savannah State guard Crissa "Ace" Jackson became one of only 13 women to play for the Globetrotters. She was a Lady Tiger from 2008-10. Jackson won't be on the team that visits Savannah, but Bulldog will be, as well as Hammer Harrison, Bull Bullard and Firefly Fischer.
For Bulldog, who followed his brother into the Globetrotters, getting a chance to play ball, entertain and interact with fans is why he loves his job so much.

Council Tax 2020/21 – Would you pay a little extra to strengthen the policing service in Surrey?
Would you be prepared to pay a little extra on your council tax bill to further improve the policing service in Surrey?
That is the question the county's Police and Crime Commissioner David Munro is asking residents as he launches his annual public consultation on the policing element of the council tax known as the precept.
The PCC is seeking the public's views on whether they would support either a 5% rise for the next year which would allow further investment in more officers and staff or a 2% inflationary increase which would allow Surrey Police to maintain a steady course during 2020/21.
A 5% rise would equate to around a £13 a year rise for an average Band D property while 2% would mean an extra £5 on a Band D annual bill.
The Commissioner is inviting the public to have their say by filling in a short online survey which can be found HERE
Together with Surrey Police, the PCC is also carrying out a series of public engagement events in every borough in the county in the next five weeks to hear people's views in person. You can sign up to your nearest event by clicking HERE
One of the PCC's key responsibilities is to set the overall budget for Surrey Police including determining the level of council tax raised for policing in the county which funds the Force together with a grant from central government.
This year, budget planning is more difficult due to the government's settlement announcement, which outlines both the amount of grant and maximum level PCCs can raise through the precept, being delayed because of the general election.
The settlement is normally announced in December but is now not expected until late January. With a proposed budget needing to be finalised in early February, this has restricted financial planning whilst also meaning the window for seeking public feedback is much shorter than usual.
Last year Surrey residents agreed to pay 10% extra in return for increasing front-line officer and operational staff posts by an additional 79 whilst protecting 25 other police posts that would have been lost. All those new staff will be in post and doing their training by May 2020.
It was announced in October that Surrey will receive central funding for an extra 78 police officers over the coming year as part of the government's programme to increase police officer numbers nationally by 20,000.
To complement that uplift in police numbers, a 5% increase in police council tax would allow Surrey Police to invest in:
A further uplift in local police officers providing a visible presence in local communities
Extra Neighbourhood Support Police Officers and Youth Community Support Officers (PCSO's) to prevent and help tackle crime and anti-social behaviour and provide local community engagement
Police staff who can carry out investigations and help keep officers out visible to the public
Police staff who can analyse complex data to match police resources to demand and who can carry out forensic analysis of computers and phones
A 2% increase in line with inflation will allow the force to continue the police officer training, keep recruiting officers to replace those retiring or leaving and bring in the extra 78 centrally funded officers.
PCC David Munro said: "Setting the precept is always one of the most difficult decisions I have to make as Police and Crime Commissioner and asking the public for more money is a responsibility I never take lightly.
"The last decade has been particularly difficult in terms of police funding with forces, including Surrey, seeing rising demand for their services in the face of continued cuts. However I believe Surrey Police has a bright future ahead of them with more officers being put back into our communities which I know the county's residents want to see.
"Every year I consult with the public on my proposals for the precept but this year the delay in the police settlement has made that process more difficult. However, I have carefully looked through the financial plans for the Force and have spoken in detail with the Chief Constable on what he requires to provide an efficient service for our residents
"As a result, I would like to hear the views of Surrey residents on two options which I believe would strike a fair balance with providing that service and the burden on the public.
"An extra 5% would allow us to complement the government's promised uplift of 78 front-line officers by strengthening our resources further in key areas including extra police in our local areas and crucial staff roles to support them. Alternatively, a 2% increase in line with inflation would allow Surrey Police to keep the ship steady through 2020/21.
"Whilst my final decision will inevitably hinge on the awaited government settlement, it is really important to me to get the views and opinions of the Surrey public. I would ask everyone to take a minute to fill out our survey and let me know their views which can help me make my decision."
The consultation will close at midday on Thursday 6 February 2020. If you want to read more about the PCC's proposal, the reasons for it or the levels of council tax for each housing band- CLICK HERE

If you work at a hospital or ASC and are involved with orthopaedics on any level, you have a strong opinion about sales reps. Good or bad, you have your two cents. To an administrator, the sales rep is the face of the vendor they have been battling with for years on the cost of the implants. To some scrub techs, the ever-present sales rep in the operating room seems redundant, while others feel their jobs are made so much easier when the rep is there. And finding the lost screwdriver handle or oddly-sized forceps in the black hole of Central Sterile Processing? Who better than the sales rep, right? And last, but certainly not least, the surgeon. The relationship between surgeon and sales rep has grown far stronger than anyone would have imagined when these reps started showing up to cases. But before we shed some light on the lengths some sales reps go to secure their sales, it's worth taking up some real estate below to understand how and why sales reps have woven themselves into the fabric of the care continuum.
Until the late 1980s, orthopaedic implant reps had a conventional job description as far as salespeople go. With a defined territory, a rep had a list of accounts to grow and prospects to land. Make your calls, schedule your meetings, close deals. Reps only entered clinical areas of a hospital for new product demonstrations and staff training. By the nineties, some meaningful innovations were occurring in the orthopaedic implant space. New implant systems offered many options which meant more instrumentation and greater implant selection and inventory. At the same time, hospitals began feeling a fiscal pinch, as cost-plus insurance contracts began disappearing. However short-sighted, the low hanging fruit in cutting costs is employees. So, they began paying people less and cutting back on staff. Faced with an under- or mis-staffed hospital, the rep had no choice but to step in and make things work smoothly on all fronts. In general, hospitals welcomed the help, having no idea about the quagmire they were creating. From providing technique insight in the OR to supply chain and logistics, the rep has become omnipresent. They have infiltrated hospitals so well that facilities have had to turn to third party credentialing services to manage rep access. There are so many reps that most hospitals make them wear a brightly colored head covering so employees know who they are. Given the saturation, the game for reps is largely defense and paranoia at this point. If they don't show up for the most mundane and simple cases, their competitors will swoop in like vultures.
If it stopped there, the situation might be dubiously acceptable. However, in an effort to please surgeons, the limit for many surgeons and their reps knows no boundaries. In this light, we laced up our sneakers and hit the beat to find out just how far things have spun out of control.
"Yeah, I painted his fence.", said a real-life rep about his real-life surgeon "customer". "He asked me for help painting his fence, so I spent the weekend doing it with him. Yeah, I did that."
"I've put a swing set together for a surgeon's kids.", said another rep. "He straight up asked me to help him do it, so I did it. Then we went skiing together."
"I didn't recognize two gentlemen in my now son-in-law's bridal party – he happens to be a total joint surgeon. He and my daughter had a small wedding, so I was a bit surprised by this. I asked him who they were and he plainly said they were his sales reps at the hospital. I thought it was the strangest thing." This was said directly to one of our VPs at a family holiday party.
That's where it has gone, folks. Wedding parties and home improvements. We've passed a lot of legislation in this country to require industry to divulge how monies move between vendors and surgeons/facilities, but it seems like we've really missed the mark on capturing some incredibly compromising and conflicting relationships that stand in the way of objective decision making.
We are coming up on a new year. It's time to rethink the future. Rethink possibilities. Rethink healthcare! From all of us at OIC, we wish our families, friends, customers and supporters a warm and joyous holiday season.

Autopsy reveals what killed 200 level student of CRUTEC, Joy Adama after visiting an Alhaji.
It's being revealed newly that Joy Odama, the 200 level student of the Cross River State University of Science and Technology, who died mysteriously after she went to visit a certain Alhaji Usman Adamu, in Abuja last December, died of cocaine poison.
The autopsy report released by the National Hospital, Abuja, disclosed that Joy died of acute cocaine poison, and also suffered cardiogenic shock secondary to diffusion before she died.
The report reads in part:
"The cause of death was traced to cardiogenic shock secondary to diffusion, myocardial infaration secondary to possible acute cocaine poison."
This is coming after the presidency, the Senate President, Speaker of the House of Representatives, IGP, DSS and other top security agencies, were petitioned by the mother of the deceased, Philomena Odama, over the death of her daughter, who revealed that the suspect had invited her daughter alongside other young girls to his house and promised to sponsor their education.
Vanguard reports that Joy died in his custody and the suspect allegedly connived with the police, to embalm her without her parents consent. The police allegedly told them to hands off the case and collect N300, 000 the suspect was offering them, saying they can not get justice as he is well connected in the society.

Grading Flying Eagle and Indian Cents: Grading Standards for Flying Eagle and Indian Cents from good to extra fine.
By 1857 the cost of striking and distributing Large Cents (1793-1857) has risen to the point that the U.S. Treasury abandoned production of the Large Cent, and the Half Cent, in favor of the Small Cent. The first Small Cent officially issued for circulation was the 1857 Flying Eagle Cent. Although approximately 1,500 1856 Flying Eagle Cents were struck at the Philadelphia Mint the year before, they were made as patterns to show Congress how the new cent would look and as proof editions offered for sale to collectors at a premium.
These new Small Cents were quickly accepted by the public who had all but stopped using the heavier Large Cents. The Act of February 21, 1857 which made Small Cents possible was also important because, by its terms, Spanish coins could be exchanged and melted at the mint in exchange for the new Small Cents. The public would no longer have to convert reals, medios, shillings, bits or pennies. The decimal system became both popular and official thereafter, although many people to this day still incorrectly refer to the cent as a penny!
The Flying Eagle Cent was designed by James B. Longacre. The coin has a weight of 4.67 grams, a diameter of 19mm, an a plain rim. The Flying Eagle Cent are 88% copper and 12% nickel which gives them a light color. Common nicknames for the Flying Eagle Cent were 'white cent', because of its color, and 'nickel cent' or 'nick', stemming from their composition (remember, the first five cent piece to be called a nickel was ten years later in 1866!). All specimens were struck in Philadelphia.
The first Indian Cent was issued in 1859. The image on the obverse is however not an actual Indian! It is, in fact, Liberty wearing an Indian headdress. The reverse of the 1859 depicted a laurel wreath around the words 'one cent'. This design was changed the next year to an oak wreath and shield with the same text.
The Indian Cent was designed by James B. Longacre. The coin has a weight of 4.67 grams, a diameter of 19mm, an a plain rim. From 1859 to the middle of 1964 the Indian Cent were 88% copper and 12% nickel which gave them a light color, same as the Flying Eagle Cent. From midway through 1864 to 1909 the composition was changed that of Bronze: 95% Copper and a 5% alloy of Zinc and Tin. Like the Flying Eagle, the early Indian Cent was sometimes called a 'white cent', because of its color, and 'nickel cent' or 'nick', stemming from their composition (remember, the first five cent piece to be called a nickel was seven years later in 1866!). All specimens were struck in Philadelphia except for the last two years, 1908 and 1909, which were minted in both Philadelphia and San Francisco.
LL / SL (Large Letters / Small Letters): These are terms used to distinguish the two varieties of 1858 Flying Eagle Cents. The Large Letter design shows the seraphs of the A and M in "AMERICA" touching at the bottom while the Small Letter design show the the A and M clearly separated.
CN / BR (Copper Nickel / Bronze): In 1864 the composition of the Indian Cents was changed from Copper Nickel to Bronze.
L (Longacre): In 1864 the obverse of the Indian Cent was redesigned slightly to sharpen the portrait. The designers initial 'L' for Longacre was added on the lower ribbon behind the neck. This was done late in 1864 and was kept until 1909.
S (San Francisco): The 'S' mint mark is located on the reverse just below the bow. Some Indian Cents were struck at the San Francisco Mint in 1908 and 1909. Coins struck in Philadelphia bear no mint mark.

Ah, Spring—the season of new beginnings, punctuated by graduation ceremonies designed to inspire scholastic achievers who are eager to share their knowledge with employers. But are their employers ready for them?
How many times have you heard or read something that you later have a difficult time recalling? It struck a chord at the time, but all the messages your overtaxed brain receives from multiple channels keep you from internalizing the main point(s). We are constantly processing, so we regularly experience CRS (can't remember stuff).
We are a "now" society, thanks to technology and apps that make us super efficient. The downside is that we are less patient, which can be a stumbling block in overcoming business challenges that require long-term solutions. One example near and dear to Hillary's is transforming corporate culture. Unrealistic expectations about time and commitment can tempt organizations to leap over essential steps and totally undermine the process.

The Marine Pest Sectoral Committee (MPSC) sits under the National Biosecurity Committee (NBC) and reports to the Agriculture Senior Officials Committee (AGSOC) through the NBC. MPSC develops and coordinates the implementation of harmonised, national arrangements to identify, minimise and address the pest risk to Australia's marine environment and associated industries. Membership - MPSC comprises two representatives from the Australian Government and one government representative from each state and the Northern Territory. Members come from the agency with responsibility for marine pest issues within each jurisdiction but bring a whole of government position to MPSC discussions. The committee has three observers based on technical/scientific expertise. New Zealand is a standing observer on MPSC. Chairperson - The Chairperson is selected by the membership and appointed for a two-year term. Secretariat - Secretariat support is provided by the Department of Agriculture and Water Resources. Meeting arrangements - Face-to-face meetings are convened twice a year, with additional teleconference sessions as required. Meetings are hosted by member jurisdictions. A significant amount of business is considered out of session where committee discussion of the issue is not necessary. Stakeholder communication - A stakeholder workshop is held in conjunction with each MPSC meeting to provide an opportunity for stakeholders to engage with members on national marine pest policy and programs. A communique is published soon after each meeting, informing stakeholders of outcomes of the meeting.

MYRTLE BEACH, SC (WMBF) – The man who opened fire on another man outside of a Myrtle Beach gas station is out of jail.
Ryan Ralston pleaded guilty Tuesday to unlawful carrying of a pistol and pointing and presenting a firearm at a person.
He was sentenced to time served of 361 days and had to pay court costs. According to J. Reuben Long Detention Center, Ralston was released Wednesday afternoon after spending nearly a year in jail.
The shooting in last May at the Circle K convenience store on South Kings Highway was caught on camera and posted to Twitter.
A witness got video of a shooting in Myrtle Beach on Wednesday. (Source: @aaron_e30 on Twitter)
It showed one man opening fire on another, while the person catching the action on his phone tried to hide behind his dash.
Police said there were no injuries in the shooting.
They said Ralston and the victim knew each other.

Q: How to fix and prevent duplicate key error in mongodb I've been working on a hobby project recently and I've encountered a problem I can't seem to figure out, even after scouring the internet for an answer. I'm using Node.js on c9.io with MongoDB. Anytime I try to create a new entry into the database, the first entry works and goes through fine, but then the second one causes an error.
E11000 duplicate key error collection: project.tasks index: username_1 dup key:
{ : null }'
My Schema:
var mongoose = require("mongoose");
var passportLocalMongoose = require("passport-local-mongoose");

var taskSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
    task: String,
    region: String,
    cost: String,
    when: String,
    isAccepted: Boolean,
    author: {
        id:{
            type: mongoose.Schema.Types.ObjectId,
            ref: "User"
        }
    },
    tasker: {
        id : {
          type: mongoose.Schema.Types.ObjectId,
          ref: "User"
        }
    }
});

taskSchema.plugin(passportLocalMongoose);
module.exports = mongoose.model("Task", taskSchema);

My Post Request:
app.post("/taskers/index/show", function(req, res){
   var task = req.body.task;
   var newTask = {
      task: task.task,
      region: task.region,
      cost: task.cost,
      when: task.when,
      isAccepted: false,
      author: req.user._id,
      tasker: req.user._id
   };
   console.log("STSOTSOTSOTOOPP");
   Task.create(newTask, function(err, newlyCreated){
      if(err){
         console.log(err);
      } else {
         console.log(newlyCreated);
         res.redirect("/users/index");
      }
   });
});

If anyone knows what I'm doing wrong or can lead me to a solution, that would be amazing as I've been stuck on this for a while.

A:
E11000 duplicate key error collection: project.tasks index: username_1 dup key: { : null }

This error is coming from mongo (not from mongoose). Removing indexes from your mongoose schema will not have any impact on the underlying collection so you'll now want to remove the unique index on username from your tasks collection.
This index was likely created by previous code that we no longer see (or perhaps by that taskSchema.plugin(passportLocalMongoose); -- that sounds suspiciously like the kind of thing that would want an index on username).
If you connect to mongo using the shell, you should be to run db.tasks.getIndexes() to see that unique username index, and then use the dropIndexCommand to remove the offending index.
See E11000 duplicate key error index in mongodb mongoose for more details about how mongoose & mongo interact.

A: Open MongoDB compass and connect same Database that you are using in your code,

*

*open your Db and select your collection in MongoDB Compass

*navigate to indexes section and remove unnecessary index

*save

Q: Is fitting hyperparameters to data in a Machine Learning model appropriate? I have constructed a machine learning model (it is similar to Naive Bayes) within the Bayesian framework, and as such, have must select priors.
In my brief exposure to Bayesian statistics, I was told that I can't simply fit my hyperparameters to best "explain" the data, as that will increase my certainty beyond what it should be. I know there is a field, Empirical Bayes, which deals with ways to derive hyperparameters from the data which do not cause the issues that directly fitting it does. However, I think my issue is a little different, as I will not always have data for every single parameter; some parameters' priors may never be updated, and will retain only the information provided by the hyperparameters. The parameters in this case are the weights of the model, which I am planning to all give the same prior.
My question is as such: is it appropriate to use cross validation or a similar technique in order to pick the hyperparameters that best predict the testing data in a ML model? Or should I stick to something minimally informative such as Jeffreys/Reference?
My objective with developing posteriors on my parameters is so that I have a means of quantifying their uncertainty, which I then intend to use as weights.
I will be hanging out on the site for a while if more information is required.

Q: Test Class for Scheduled Apex I have a piece of scheduled apex that runs once a month, but behaves differently depending on the month. In attempting to write unit tests the unit test triggers the scheduled apex, but does not do so using the assigned cron expression parameters.
This is in my test class...
public static string m_cron = '0 0 1 1 2 ?';
Test.startTest();

String jobId = System.schedule('ScheduleApexClassTest',  m_cron, new eoscheduling());

Test.stopTest();

However, it's clear this is not actually running as if it was Feb 1st - im still getting results as if it was running right now.

A: Framing your System.schedule() invocation with Test.startTest()/Test.stopTest() ensures that your scheduled Apex will run synchronously, but it doesn't change the system clock to ensure that your cron job would "naturally" execute based on that clock time.
If your scheduled job is inspecting the date to determine its own behavior, writing a thorough unit test for that class might call for injecting that dependency through a tiny helper class that'd return an enum defining the appropriate behavior for the context. You could then supply a testing-only mock version of this class to return the behavior that you want to test.
For example, your dependency helper could look like, in normal mode:
public class DateInspector {
    public Behavior getBehavior() {
        if (Date.today().getMonth() == 2) {
           return FEBRUARY_BEHAVIOR;
        } .... and so on
    }
}

And in test mode:
private class TestModeDateInspector {
    private Behavior mode;
    public TestModeDateInspector(Behavior desired_mode) {
       mode = desired_mode;
    }

    public Behavior getBehavior() {
        return mode;
    }
}

You can define an interface that both classes implement (with the method getBehavior()), and define a standard and test-mode constructor for your scheduled class:
public ScheduledClass() {
    return ScheduledClass(new DateInspector());
}

public ScheduledClass(DateInspectorInterface di) {
    myDateInspector = di;
}

Then, your scheduled class calls myDateInspector to determine its desired behavior, and your test class can control this by injecting its TestModeDateInspector set to the desired behavior type with the second constructor.
