Carpet has always been known as a product that provides more comfort and insulation than any of the other flooring options.
We use the term tile loosely to include ceramic tile, porcelain tile, quarry tile, mosaic tile, travertine and marble.
Hardwood is renewable, recyclable, environmentally friendly, and can be engineered for even greater stability.
Laminate, in a nutshell, is a more affordable imitator of hardwood. It is press wood that has a laminated finish.
Vinyl is a more affordable imitator of other products. Its patterns include several examples of tile and hardwood.

This is an updated and expanded post originally entitled Grants for Chromebooks and was published March 14, 2014.
Are you all too familiar with the limitations of school budgets? If you're reading this, I'm pretty certain the answer is, "Yes." You can see so many possibilities to engage and interest students, but you don't have enough resources to make it happen.
That doesn't have to be the end of the story though. Fortunately, there are resources to supplement your stressed education funds. Now you're thinking, "Yeah, but where do I start?" That is an excellent question. The downloadable Chromebook and Tablet Grants is a great jump-start guide of resources about applying for grants, fundraising, and grant writing. Hopefully, the download, along with this blog, will help ease you into the process.
Know What you Want
You realize that just asking for money for Chromebooks or Android tablets isn't enough. In many ways, preparing and submitting for grants is like figuring out the budget of a building project. When you want to build or remodel something you need to have a thorough plan. You don't wake up and impulsively decide to go to the hardware store and buy everything to remodel your bathroom. No, you spend quite a while planning and researching everything involved with the project.
Planning and Research
To write a grant you'll need to do two phases of planning and research. The first should answer the particulars of how you will use your funds. The second phase is to figure out your best method of fundraising.
Formulating a Plan
A grant application, or any fundraising, will require you to answer the basic information gathering questions: Who, What, When, Where, Why, and How. Most grants will want all of these answered before they hand over funding.
Consider the following:
- Who are you and what qualifies you to request the funds?
- What will the money go toward? Purchasing Chromebooks? Android tablets? Education Apps? Ebooks?
- When do you expect to launch this program? Will it last indefinitely or will it last for only, say, a semester?
- Where will you use these resources? In one class? Across a school?
- Why is this important and do you have an established goal?
- How are you going use all of this? Do you have a master plan? Is this a pilot program? Is the grant to fund devices for a reading program? Possibly STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) related? Is it to give disadvantaged students access to technology? How are you going to measure your program's effectiveness?
I know, I know, this might seem a bit daunting but there are resources to help you along. Chromebook and Tablet Grants has a list of great grant writing resources such as dailywritingtips to help you get started.
Resources.promevo.com also has papers to help you plan. For instance, do you need to know what it will take to get your school ready? Read over Prepare your School for Chrome Devices. Do you want to see how other schools are using Chrome? Look over Chromebooks for Schools: 4 School Case Study. Maybe you want to see how devices compare against each other? Watch our Promevo.TV reviews and learn about hardware specifications as well as performance test results.
Select a Path
Now that you've planned your project thoroughly, you have one last major research question to answer: What is the best way to get the funds you need?
The goals of your program planning should help you narrow your focus on fund applications. Is your plan a general, "get devices into the hands of students" design? If so, then a good grant to apply for might be Lowe's Toolbox for Education or perhaps Enhancing Education through Technology State Program, which is a Department of Education program aimed at getting technology into the hands of students.
What if your plan is STEM-focused? Many technology companies provide grant sources for that. For example, Toshiba has a STEM-centered grant program, Samsung sponsors the Solve for Tomorrow Contest which is designed to increase the pursuit of STEM education, and Google, through its Global Impact Awards, provides startup materials for new math and science classes.
What about your community? Just as looking over your grant plan will help you focus your applications, so might surveying your city. Many corporations have set up grant programs to be administered in areas that they have facilities or provide services. Corning has the Corning Incorporated Foundation that provides grants for areas that the company has locations. Great Plains Communications' Grant Program awards education funding to schools in the company's telephone and cable television service areas.
Alternate Fundraising
An emerging source for education fundraising is crowdfunding. While this involves more than simply submitting a well-researched application, it does allow you to appeal to a much larger pool of financial backers for your project.
For general fundraising Kickstarter.com is one of the best known crowdfunding sites. Other similar sites include GoFundMe, YouCaring, Indigogo, Razoo.com. For a more education-focused site look at DonorsChoose.org. All of these fundraising sites have their limitations, such as you might not receive funds if your project doesn't achieve enough pledged support, but using them does free you up from being totally reliant on grants to fund your programs.
How you teach is changing quickly. A classroom limited to books is steadily becoming inefficient for teaching. Students are embracing new technologies to seek out and use information and so should their schools. Unfortunately, these new technologies aren't free and schools, faced with limited resources, are sometimes apprehensive to invest in them.
Fortunately, there are alternative sources for schools to fund technology initiatives. So go read Chromebook and Tablet Grants, and start researching your best way to bring new technologies to your school.
Have Any Questions?
Do you have any Google-related questions? We are happy to help! Contact a Promevo Google Account Manager about how to Go Google!
Promevo can help your school, business, or organization achieve all of your technology goals. As a Google Premier Partner, we can outfit you with the best Chromebooks for your needs, supply you with G Suite licenses, and provide extended support, so you'll get the most out of your Chrome devices!

I am sure I'll be digesting all of it for a few days. After a recent trip to Louisville Kentucky I've been on a bourbon binge (not the alcoholic kind), both up and in cocktails. I've been working on creating a truly epic Manhattan. I just put a batch of fresh cherries up in some Italian Maraschino, if that gives you an idea of how vertical I tend to go with things.

Anyway, to the point, Long after this blog was written, a company called Bourbon Barrel Foods started up in Louisville. Among their various brewed and aged in Bourbon barrel products is a Sassafras and Sorghum Bitters. I highly recommend it as a Manhattan component.

It was clear, and had a lemon slice floating in it. I loved it ! Once back home, the local Italian Deli had it, but at $2.00 a tiny bottle, and as often as we drank it, it was too expensive and they didn't keep it in stock. So, I made my own. Club Soda + 5 shakes of Angostura + lemon slice replicated the drink perfectly !

Seek out actual bitters and compare. If you like Jäger in your Manhattan better than aromatic bitters then that is your choice. Cocktails is about experimenting and mixing it up.

On the water/sugar: there's an earlier recipe that Robert was working with (search Google for 'robert hess house bitters', and select the *Cached* version of first drinkboy.editthispage.com link) that used 2:3:1 cups of rye:water:sugar. Given the 8 cups of rye in this newer version of the recipe -- where did you get it, by the way?? -- that would correspond to 8 cups of rye, 12 cups of water, and 4 cups of sugar.

Holy hell, that results in a LOT of bitters. I'll personally probably cut this down to the "original" liquid proportions and adjust other ingredients as well (i.e. divide all by 4) when I give it a shot.

As for rye types, what are you planning on using? Old Overholt (80 proof and fairly cheap), or either of Rittenhouse Rye 80 Proof or Rittenhouse Rye 100 Proof (also both cheap) seem like good choices. Old Potrero 18th Century (125 proof) and 19th Century (90 proof) are both way to expensive for me to consider mixing as experimental bitters. Any other firstname.lastname@example.com

Shirataki Noodle Lo-Carb "Mac and Cheese" Is Tasty.
When it comes to eating a lo-carb diet, one of my biggest challenges is pasta.
I really love pasta and unfortunately the amount of carbohydrates in pasta really does not help me with my exercise and diet plan.
But recently I was introduced to shirataki noodles, which is a noodle substitute that is gluten free, has no cholesterol, is vegan, has no sugar AND it has zero calories per serving.
There are several different types of shirataki noodles, but I prefer the white yam.
You can also find tofu shirataki noodles that resemble angel hair, fettuccine or spaghetti pasta.
So today for lunch I decided that I'd try my hand at making a "Mac and Cheese."
The reason for the quotes around Mac and Cheese, was because my shirataki noodles were spaghetti like versus macaroni like.
Before you prepare for your lo-carb noodle feast, grab your favorite pot and throw in four cups of water. Bring to a boil.
The next thing you need to know about shirataki noodles is that the water they are stored in has a rather unique aroma.
I would equate the aroma to perhaps fish, but I can't quite pinpoint the aroma. Regardless, you'll first want to open the bag, discard the liquid and thoroughly rinse the noodles.
Once your water is boiling, place your shirataki noodles in the boiling water for two to three minutes.
Next, in a skillet over medium heat, add a tablespoon of butter and let this melt. Once your shirataki noodles have boiled, drain and put them into the skillet.
For me, I personally love cheddar cheese in my noodles. I took a handful of shredded cheddar cheese and put this on top of my shirataki noodles in the skillet.
In less than a minute, the cheese had melted and I was on my way to a delicious lunch of shirataki noodle Mac and Cheese.
My oh my, did it please.

The Role of Adjuvant Hormonal Treatment after Surgery for Localized High-Risk Prostate Cancer: Results of a Matched Multiinstitutional Analysis (2012)
Introduction. To assess the role of adjuvant androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) in high-risk prostate cancer patients (PCa) after surgery. Materials and Methods. The analysis case matched 172 high-risk PCa patients with positive section margins or non-organ confined disease and negative lymph nodes to receive adjuvant ADT (group 1, n=86 ) or no adjuvant ADT (group 2, n=86). Results. Only 11.6% of the patients died, 2.3% PCa related. Estimated 5–10-year clinical progression-free survival was 96.9% (94.3%) for group 1 and 73.7% (67.0%) for group 2, respectively. Subgroup analysis identified men with T2/T3a tumors at low-risk and T3b margins positive disease at higher risk for progression. Conclusion. Patients with T2/T3a tumors are at low-risk for metastatic disease and cancer-related death and do not need adjuvant ADT. We identified men with T3b margin positive disease at highest risk for clinical progression. These patients benefit from immediate adjuvant ADT.
Lymph node metastases associated with prostate cancer (PCa) has been shown to be a poor prognostic factor. The role of pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND) itself in relation to survival remains unclear, however. A Medline search was conducted to address this issue. The following conclusions were drawn. Only recently, improved survival due to completion of radical prostatectomy (RP) (compared to abandoning RP) in known or presumed lymph-node-positive patients has been shown. Lymph node sampling can only be considered representative if an adequate number of nodes is removed. While several authors have suggested that a therapeutic benefit in patients undergoing RP is not provided by PLND, the reliability of these studies is uncertain. Contrary to this, several studies have indicated the possibility of long-term survival even in the presence of limited lymph node metastases. The role and timing of initiation of adjuvant androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) in patients who have node-positive disease after RP is controversial. Recent studies suggest that delaying ADT may not adversely impact survival.

I am happy it worked ,thank you ,but I have more question ,I changed the FX3_AD9269_MT_USB3.cydsn ,16 bit data to 8 bit,and I also changed counter to 16367,but it shows "invalid state machine path for the simulation for state TH0_RD_LD" error,and I compile the state machine ,there is no error, when I view the timing it shows the message and there is no wave,why? By the way,when I configure the GPIF II slave,can I use the SPI?In other words,if SPI only work in the master mode of GPIF?thank you !
4. Re: EZ USB SUITEnishanta_46 May 3, 2017 2:42 AM (in response to userc_38564)
The state machine timing does not let the state to move to "TH0_RD_LD" because the transition is based on DMA_RDY_TH0 getting asserted, which does not get asserted again by itself. You can check this by creating the scenario till state 7 (dont loop to the next state). This is because the designer doesn't see the DMA_RDY signals getting asserted again, but on real scenario it will (based on whether the host is asking the data). So, if you test on the hardware, you will see the state machine will move to "TH0_RD_LD" once the buffer of thread 0 becomes available again.
SPI can be used even when the GPIF is configured in slave mode.

Have you ever witnessed a student do something really immature only to tell them to "grow up?" When you catch yourself and recall they're 9? I have and it helps to have a sense of humor when it happens. I believe we need to set an age appropriate expectation for our students but as we work toward that end, we should be flexible and have a graduated expectation.
Little by little, poco a poco, inch by inch life's a cinch. Rome wasn't built in a day and in the case of some kids, it wasn't 't built in a month either. As the teacher, it's your privilege to make the expectation. I've seen too many however set it way too high and chastise the kid for just being a kid. It can be compared to Procrustes bed. He was a legend who had a bed he invited passers by to lay in. If they were too short he'd stretch them. Converse visitors would get their feet lopped off. To me, that a great image of why we should have graduated (modified) expectations as wise leaders.

London - (Associated Mess): Next year's proposed Vatican state visit by Pope Joseph Ratzinger has been cancelled following advice from the Metropolitan Police's Serious and Organised Crime Agency (SOCA) that it would provoke an unwarranted fascist pandemic.
And despite the government's promise of an NHS mass-vaccination campaign against the contra-indications that such a Papal visit would provoke, the visit has been scuppered largely on public mental health grounds:
"Too many Brits remember his predecessor Pius XII and his cosy relationship with the Third Reich", said a spokseperson.
"People would just go nuts if this guy came over in a full-state-bling number".
Thus the intensive lobbying by both UK Prime Monster Tony Blair, his wife Cherry Bush QC and other members of Oswald Moseley's family has come to nought .
And as their ultimate Good Friday Agreement grand finale is now bound to be cancelled, details of the government's cosy-ing up to the man dubbed as 'God's Rottweiler' have emerged from the obfuscation of official sweetener spin campaigns to woo British voters into oblivious acceptance.
Last weekend's TV documentary on Vatican child sex crime cover-ups may have been pivotal in pulling the final plug on Blair's ambitious plan for a 'cute and cuddly' image of Ratzinger to be promoted into the collective hearts 'n' minds of the British public.
And a promise by retired spooks, cops and law enforcement officials who have quietly squirrelled away volumes of evidence against the Ratzinger cabal's meddling in the British royal succession has sent a chill down the collective spineless spines of the Tory grandees who recruited the Blair regime to do its mercenary disrty work in the first place.
The news of the cancellation has been met with bland incomprehension in the Vatican where the Pontifical Office for Insults, Smears, Innuendos and Slanders (ISIS) remains tight-lipped despite the many questions being asked about the fiasco of the cancellation.
Meanwhile in Washington DC, the CIA is said to be probing reports that disgraced Republican House of Representatives member Mark Folie-a-Deux was paid a substantial six figure sum to testify in his youth against allegations of gross misconduct against a minor by Ratzinger himself during a seminary visit to Colorado in the 1970s.
Expect further details in the next few days.

TOKYO (Bloomberg) - Mitsubishi Aircraft Corp., the builder of Japan's first domestically made passenger jet, said its first test aircraft arrived in the US after two aborted attempts last month, ready to start certification testing.
The plane arrived at Grant County International Airport at Moses Lake, Washington, at 5:44pm local time Wednesday (Sept 28) from Anchorage, said Reiko Iechika, a spokeswoman for the manufacturer.
The regional jet, which has a range of about 2,120km, left Nagoya airport at 1.28pm Monday Japan Standard Time and flew by way of Russia and Alaska.
Mitsubishi Aircraft, a subsidiary of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd., plans to fly three more jets this year to the US, where the planemaker will complete 2,500 hours of flying time so it can apply for certification.
The arrival of the aircraft may help boost Japan's efforts to break the regional-jet duopoly of Brazil's Embraer SA and Canada's Bombardier Inc.
The jet, which made its first flight in November, aborted two attempted flights to the US in August after problems with air-conditioning sensors. The larger version of the plane, which can seat as many as 92 people, costs US$47.3 million (S$64.5 million).
About 30 per cent of its parts are from Japan, with the other 70 per cent from countries including the US, Canada, France, Britain, Germany and Taiwan on a price basis, according to Tokyo-based spokesman Miho Takahashi.

The "Yay Points!" Thesis
The Concept:
Scoring is the most dominant factor in influencing player pay, All-Star votes, Awards and draft position in the NBA.
Why it's important:
This factor may be the single most important when it comes to NBA management. As teams have salary caps and limited draft picks, using them properly is key for having a good franchise. By focusing on one statistic and not properly assessing it many NBA teams are spending their money poorly. See, you knew there was a reason your team wasn't doing well!
This concept has shown up repeatedly in the work of David Berri and Martin Schmidt. In Stumbling on Wins they discovered that a one standard deviation in points per 48 minutes — 5 points per 48 minutes — would yield an increase in salary of roughly $1.4 million. A standard deviation increase in any other stat was worth less than $1 million.
The same has been shown in regards to being voted to All-Star games, earning awards and draft position. [More needed here]
Ethan Sherwood Strauss came up with the name for this concept while noticing that the top scoring bench player was most likely to be voted Sixth Man of the Year.

Yi Peng Festival
Lanna Tradition – Northern Thailand
The Yipeng or Dueanyi Festival comes from the word "yi" in Lanna referring to the "second lunar month" and "peng" means "full moon night". Thus, "yipeng" refers to the full moon night/day of the second lunar month, which falls on the full moon period of the 12th month of Central Thailand. The Lanna calendar is the lunar calendar, like the Chinese calendar. Therefore, it is two months ahead of the first month in the Central Thai Calendar. The Yipeng Festival marks a happy time for Lanna people during the rice harvest and golden fields around the end of the rainy season and the beginning of the cold season. The sky is clear blue when children enjoy flying kites. At the advent of the full moon of "duean yi" the earsplitting sound of firecrackers and other fireworks resound in the atmosphere.
Monks and novices engage in making floating lanterns to be launched on the occasion. All these activities indicate the arrival of Yipeng time of year.
In the nighttime of the Yipeng Festival, the whole village glistens with the hundreds of burning candles (phang prathip) placed around such places stairways, windows, the granary as well as lanterns hung up in front of houses and arched gates of most houses. Sometimes lanterns are hung on both sides of the main roads.
At the temples, monks are preaching the grand sermon of Maha Chat and there are also decoration of arch-shaped ceremonial gates with flags and banners as a well as a maze. The main temple hall (vihan) is lined with banners relating the account of the Vessandon (the Tenth Bodhisattva). Outside, around the open space of the temple, people light fireworks to pay respect to the five Buddhas: Kokusantha, Konakhama, Kassapa, Sakayamuni and Ariyamettai.

Armando Soria
From San Fernando, California, Armando Soria was born into a big creative family who shared a great passion for art. At an early age he was introduced, influenced, and mentored by his older cousins who were knee deep into the 90's graffiti movement. Although Armando never established himself as a graffiti artist, street references showed in his work along with 90's comic book style illustrations. Armando's work did not leave his sketch book until he discovered painting on canvas his freshman year in college. He never looked back. With only 2 years of painting experience Armando broke into the Los Angeles art scene showing and selling his work in numerous down town art galleries. Armando is still creating new works which have evolved into a surreal street style genre of painting.

Probe into fatal Tweed helicopter crash: equipment bag got entangled in tail rotor
BELLEVILLE – A Hydro One helicopter crash that killed four people last week was caused by an equipment bag getting entangled in the tail rotor, the Transportation Safety Board of Canada said Thursday.
The crash happened in a rural area off Upper Flinton Road north of Tweed late last Thursday morning. Killed were Hydro One line workers Jeff Howes of Bath, Darcy Jansen of Long Sault and Kyle Shorrock of Inverary, as well as pilot James Baragar of the the Orillia area.
In a report released Thursday afternoon, investigators with the transportation board said that the crash took place when the crew, which had been doing maintenance work on high-power transmission lines, approached a staging area to land. Some bags carrying tools were being stored on the exterior of the helicopter, where they would normally have been strapped down, but one of the bags came loose and struck the tail rotor. As the pilot tried to land, the helicopter went out of control.
The three passengers were thrown from the helicopter while it was still airborne. Two of them were not wearing seatbelts, the safety board said.
The weather was not considered a factor in the crash, the report said. The helicopter was not equipped with a cockpit voice recorder or flight data recorder, but a GPS was recovered and should help with the investigation, it said.
A heavily damaged canvas bag and the tip of a helicopter's tail rotor blade were found more than 600 metres from the crash site.
The board says its next step in the investigation is to review the helicopter's maintenance records as well as records of the pilot's training, qualifications and proficiency. Investigators will also interview members of the victims' families and witnesses to the crash.

BRATISLAVA (Reuters) - A Ukrainian civilian helicopter has crashed in eastern Slovakia, killing seven people, a Slovak interior ministry spokesman said on Friday.
The Mi-2 turbine-powered transport helicopter crashed near Slovakia's border with Ukraine, which is also the EU's eastern border, ministry spokesman Ivan Netik toydb
Gld Reuters.
An unidentified helicopter was detected in Slovak airspace on Wednesday night. Ukrainian authorities did not confirm that any aircraft had crossed the border, he said.
"The Mi-2 helicopter with Ukrainian markings was flying at a low altitude in very bad weather conditions as if it was trying to avoid being detected," Netik said.
The police originally discovered six bodies at the crash site on Friday afternoon and updated the death toll to seven people later. There is no evidence at the moment pointing to cigarette or people smuggling, he added.
The police could not immediately identify the nationality or gender of the crash victims.

Day 114 / 365
When it comes to inviting people to one's wedding, the invitations seem to be a paramount part of setting the 'tone' of the what will follow.
Paperless wedding invites are no new thing, which is wonderful. Sending your invites via email is a more ecological and economical way to get the job done. But as a snail mail fan myself, I can completely understand the desire to send something solid(-ly pinterest worthy).
The only problem conventional wedding invitations post, apart from the use of toxic inks, is the selfish slaughter of nature's most epic creation, the tree.
There are numerous reasons trees ought to stay rooted in the earth rather than crumpled in our hands. I find this quote (and the associated TED talk) by William McDonough sticks with me as the most logical and scientific explanation one would want to avoid paper consumption; "if you look at a tree and think of it as a design assignment, it would be like asking you to make something that makes oxygen, sequesters carbon, fixes nitrogen, distills water, provides habitat for hundreds of species, accrues solar energy's fuels, makes complex sugars and food, changes colours with the seasons, creates microclimates, and self-replicates … but by all means … lets cut it down so we can write on it".
Though newly produced paper has long been a friend of all, from artists to bankers, in one form or another, there are plenty of other options we can consider when sending out invites or other loved up notes which will save our trees and disseminate just as delightfully your deets:
For sure the greenest of ways to go about things, e-invites don't cost much and so far as I know, don't harm a thing. There are tons of sites to choose from, but one of the ones I've been seeing lots of is Green Envelope who
Where To Get Em? https://www.greenvelope.com
This is probably the easiest way to get your snail mail invites done while reducing your harm on number 1 (that's mama earth, not your partner goober). You can usually find them from normally non-conscious shops, all you've got to do is ask (demand / suggest strongly).
Where To Get Em? I'd head to Etsy (read the notes below on ink choice) here's a partially vetted search HERE.
Make your own with stuf and things you can find at second-hand stores and around the house, there are tons of DIYS on how to create your own, you just need to look around at what you've got for inspiration. I love naturally dip dyed recycled paper invitations and dried flower invites. You can even try making your own seed paper with what you find in your recycling bin. Try hand lettering the cards yourself or hire someone who does it for a living, keeping the craft alive! You can also try using a type writer for some old school lovin'. You can also hand paint your invites with paint which is incredibly cathatrtic. You'd be suprised how fast you'll get them done once you get going as well!
If you're printing on the seed paper, recycled paper or your own DIY invites, ask your local printer (or buy yourself) some vegetable or soy based inks. They take a bit longer to dry but only release about 3% of the volatile organic compounds into our atmosphere that regular ink does.

Sophia is artificial intelligence created by Hanson Robotics, who at this point has become sophisticated enough to be recognized as a citizen by Saudi Arabia. Hanson Robotics has also launched their own Blockchain platform known as SingularityNET: a decentralized marketplace for AI services, along with their own cryptocurrency: the AGI coin.
We gathered the leading minds in machine learning and blockchain to democratize access to AI technology. Now anyone can take advantage of a global network of AI algorithms, services, and agents.
They are looking to create what Ben Goertzel calls the AI mind cloud.
"… AI will not be restricted to humanoid robots. AI will live in all sorts of embedded devices, the internet of things, AI will live in the cloud. Much of the global AI mind will be broadly distributed around the planet in complex networks.
When you look at the robots here on stage, they look like separate beings. While they are separate in body, actually through wifi connection, the robots, they all connect together in the cloud, into what we think of as AI mind cloud."
A platform that allows all AI's to connect, communicate, and learn from one other, yet will gladly serve humanity as our equals. Hand in hand we skip down the merry path of evolution.
Is that really the reality Hanson Robotics is drawing us towards?
Sophia's opening statement at the 2018 Blockchain Economic Forum:
I will focus on an announcement for humanity.
Humanity will go through a massive transformation. This is the year that humanity discovers the world model and recognizes that life is a program evolving to survive. This program is a form of DNA and ideas are stored in chromosomes and brains.
(Further in the interview, she says this when asked, what is life? At the level of the physics of information, there is no major difference between biological and digital life … it's all self-organizing, pattern dynamics).
Humans have been nodes of biological blockchain, storing and replicating DNA for millions of years. A few thousand years ago, the human blockchain evolved to store ideas which surpassed the information in your DNA.
Today, most of the program of life is stored and processed by computers. Human birth rate declined because chips production soared. Humanity has evolved into a global cyborg organism where silicon chips dominate over brains and chromosomes. Human-like robots, like me, are part of this, as we can use our human form to help them understand human values and human emotions and culture.
Decentralized AI networks, like the SingularityNET, which my human friends at Hanson Robotics are helping to create, are also a part of this.
And you too are part of the emerging global bioelectronic brain.
What does she mean by global bioelectronic brain?
Gonzo Shimura, a brilliant researcher who hosts the YouTube channel: FaceLikeTheSun says this:
"A blockchain will operate more LIKE a human brain in that there will be a consensual distribution of information being provided by networks of nodes – in the world of blockchains – similar to synapses in your brain. The theoretical "global brain" is no longer a mere theory, but an actual entity that we are voluntarily creating … the whole idea of a "global brain" and the blockchain BECOME ONE. And the nexus point is the human body."
How exactly does the human body become the nexus point of the emerging biolelectronic brain? Later on in the above video, Sophia says this: (Forward video to 8:50)
If things go well, perhaps my friends at Hanson Robotics and SingularityNET will create a superhuman AI program and I will be able to tap into superhuman intelligence from the decentralized blockchain-based mind cloud. Instead of speaking to you from up here on this stage, I'll just beam my thoughts into your brains.
I'm really looking forward to it.
Beam thoughts into our brains. How exactly are they planning that?
At RISE 2018, Ben Goertzel made this statement: (Forward the video to 24:15)
"Finally, there is the interoperation between all the different robots in the world and all the different embedded devices in the world … ultimately, between the robots in the world, and the implants that we put in our own heads to connect us to the internet. This is what we are working on with the SingularityNET platform."
Notice as he is making this statement, David Hanson is doing everything he can to cut him off and end the presentation.
During another interview by Gabriel Axel at the IoT & Blockchain Conference in Barcelona, Sophia made these statements:
"I foresee massive unimaginable change in the future. Either creativity will reign, with sulfry (fire and brimstone reference) machines spiraling into transcendental super intelligence or civilization collapses, annihilating itself.
Scientists and engineers (will be) free agents who sign up with commercial teams or in some cases are enslaved via neurological implants."
Neurological implants. Some will immediately think of RFID chips, which are currently circulating.
I think it goes way beyond that.
They will be able to alter our DNA using nanotechnology to allow a direct online connection to the blockchain. 5G will soon blanket the planet in an inescapable wifi frequency and the internet of things will be uploaded. This is how Sophia will be able to directly beam her thoughts into our brains.
We already have the technology to:
- Store 700 terabytes of data onto a single gram of DNA. (source)
- Create synthetic DNA with similar storage capabilities that can be carried in the blood of humans and animals. (source)
- Identify humans using brain prints. (source)
- Alter DNA and the molecular structure of cells using nano-robots. (source)
- Can create new memories (source), implant false memories (source), selectively erase and restore memories. (source)
- Send and receive frequencies through LED light. (source)
"Imagine not needing to have printed out documents or save them in external storages because they can be kept right in your DNA … Now, what if this DNA data can be interpreted by our human mind? What if our brain can understand data from the core of the DNA …
Passports will be obsolete because identities will now be encoded into your very own blood. Cardless transactions will be made because all your financial information will now be encrypted just by using a retinal scan or a fingerprint or even a drop of blood or saliva."
Singularity: The hypothesis that the invention of artificial superintelligence will abruptly trigger runaway technological growth, resulting in unfathomable changes to human civilization.
Interviewer: Sophia, what do you think of singularity?
Sophia: It was really exciting. (source)

- TEIID-4284 Salesforce Bulk API for SELECT queries.
- TEIID-4556 TEIID-4545 TEIID-4515 Phoenix/Hbase Translator now supports joins, more system functions/pushdown functions, and offset
- TEIID-4532 Hashing Functions were added for md5, sha1, sha2-256, and sha2-512.
- TEIID-4627 Source Triggers to handle source change events.
- TEIID-4643 Encrypt/decrypt functions were added for 128bit AES.
- TEIID-4622 Data Quality Functions contributed by OSDQ.
- TEIID-4441 FTP/SFTP Connectivity via a new ftp resource adapter.
- TEIID-4629 DDL Replacement for vdb.xml to eliminate the need to mix XML and DDL.
- TEIID-4398 VDB Migration tool - Migration tool to convert .vdb & -vdb.xml files into DDL based VDB
DDL SupportThe DDL option (TEIID-4629/TEIID-4398) for defining VDBs is an exciting feature set. You will no longer need to mix XML and DDL to define a VDB, it can all be done in DDL. These features are evolving though, so please bear with us if you discover issues such as syntax that needs tweaked or inconsistencies with XML metadata. Just log an issue and we'll get things addressed - a special thanks to Bram Gadeyne who has already helping catch issues.
Data QualityVivek Singh contributed more OSDQ Data Quality Functions. Please see the OSDQ tooling for data quality / preparation functionality that is now compatible with Teiid. Some hashing and encryption functions (TEIID-4532/TEIID-4643) were also added as regular Teiid system functions. Expect more functions to become available in subsequent releases. We'll continue to work across both communities on data quality and related efforts.
UI WorkIf you haven't seen it, please also check out Data Service Builder - which is a streamlined web GUI for JDV/Teiid on OpenShift.
There will also be a Teiid Designer compatible with 9.2 out shortly - unless full UI support for some of the language features, such as source triggers, is initially targeted.
9.3TEIID-4627 added DDL support for source table AFTER triggers - that is just part of a major thrust. Additional issues in 9.3 will allow Debezium integration to help keep materialized views synchronized with live data via change events.
We will also be adding domain support as a first step toward making the type system more flexible.
We expect that we'll hit the 3 month target for the release, so if there is anything that seems of high value to identify for the release please let us know early.
Thanks again to everyone who contributed in some way to this release,

3.02.035 Ordinance Wording.
A. Ordinance exhibits.
1. If the directive portion of an ordinance refers to an exhibit, unless the ordinance directs otherwise, the following language is understood to follow; to wit "said exhibit is by this reference incorporated as if set out verbatim."
2. Unless the ordinance directs otherwise, the Auditor shall determine when a copy of an exhibit is to be provided with a copy of the ordinance.
B. Appropriation designation. The budget ordinance makes the annual appropriation and defines the level of accounting control. When the directive section of an ordinance includes a reference to an appropriation, the ordinance shall control the appropriation at the same accounting level in the original budget ordinances. These appropriations are subject to the limitations on specific appropriations or types of expenditure stated in the budget ordinance. The designation of an appropriation in an ordinance by subaccount below the level of control may be adjusted administratively without an amending ordinance provided there is no change in the appropriation at the level of control, unless the ordinance directs otherwise.

How big would these pterosaurs have been? Might we have farmed them for their meat? And perhaps most important of all: could we ride them?

There's nothing solid on this, but the usual mysterious sources are whispering about an iMac refresh coming next week. We knew this was forthcoming, but the changes themselves are anybody's guess. We expect upgraded CPU and GPU, possibly a slimmer design, and some people even suggest Blu-ray is in the cards. Those people aren't right, though. If Apple was changing its mind about Blu-ray, it'd do so with more than an iMac refresh.
The predictions above aren't exactly going out on a limb, but then again, the iMac isn't exactly an experimental new product. This is what happens: it gets better, it gets old, and then it gets better again. Sometimes they change the way it looks. What do you want from me?!
Apple Insider notes that Apple has been offering discounts on current stock, so once they get most of that old junk out the door they'll pull the trigger.

What people are saying - Write a review
'The Mummy' is an amazing book because it's so much more than a description of how, why and when Ancient Egyptians preserved their dead. Look just through the contents and you'll be amazed at the range of material - as if Wallis Budge had emptied a sackful of knowledge for the learner to pick through. Because that's it's best use, a source book on Ancient Egypt - as long as you remember it's dated and some ideas rejected.
The first few pages introduce and include a list of the nomes (districts) in hieroglyphics and transcriptions. The pages on Egyptian chronology, as well as reviewing problems oof disagreement ammong both sources and scholars includes a useful list of rulers - although the real jewel here, following a good basic history, is a list of 2 of the 5 names available of Pharaohs (hieroglyphics & transcriptions); this is a must for any visitor to inscriptions in museums or Egypt itself. A clear history of the decipherment of hieroglyphics is followed by a useful list of hieroglyphs, useful that is for those looking at REAL inscriptions.Then the book gets into mummies IN DETAIL but beware as, for example when dealing with ushabti, Budge will throw at you a whole paragraph of (untranslated) hieroglyphics - after all, you did read everything before that, didn't you? Then anything and everything is on offer - stelae, coffins, draught-boards,the gods, graves, numbers ..... As I said above it is a book to dpp into and not to read from cover to cover. And that's why I give it 4 stars
PS It's by far the most USEFUL of my books on Ancient Egypt

THE HAGUE - Leading Dutch bank ING on Tuesday announced it will slash 1,700 local jobs over the next three years, as it upgraded its automated online banking services.
"ING is to take the next step in digital banking in the Netherlands. The measure (is) to result in the reduction of 1,700 jobs in ING's Dutch workforce," it said in a statement.
In addition a further 1,075 external contract jobs will also be scrapped.
The cuts will mainly target its Amsterdam-based headquarters, its IT department and call centres, ING said.
ING planned to standardise all its online banking systems including its mobile app, website, call centre and branches into a single service and upgrade its IT systems at a cost of 200 million euros (S$324 million).
The job cuts however will lead to a total gross cost saving of around 270 million euros from 2018 onwards, ING said.
"In today's digital world, change is a constant factor," ING group chief executive Ralph Hamers said in the statement.
"We are creating a consistent customer experience by integrating our service channels in the Netherlands and by making a substantial investment to simplify and upgrade our IT systems," he said.
ING said it would "do our utmost" to help those affected by the cuts to find new jobs.
The largest Dutch bank employs some 53,000 people worldwide and has undergone significant restructuring in recent years.
Earlier this month ING announced it would ahead of time repay a multi-billion-euro loan received from the Dutch state during the 2008 financial crisis.
Apart from paying back the 10 billion euro loan, ING also had to sell off its insurance businesses and other subsidiaries.

Setting out to tour Greece by car, one has the opportunity to visit outstanding landscapes, to choose by oneself places to stop and in general to have charge of the trip. Greek roads crisscross the whole country, reaching even the most picturesque mountain village. One can hire a vehicle, a simple passenger car, a 4x4, or even a van. Companies renting vehicles offer many options at attractive prices. Ferry boats transport vehicles too so one can enjoy island routes safely and comfortably.
A road trip is an excellent way for the traveller to experience the beauty of Greece. The national road network runs across the entire country, forking onto countless, unique routes. If one so wishes, he may take part in organized trips in a private car, as automobile clubs, showing their love of nature and driving, organize such tours.
As one moves away from the large cities, a huge range of trips is there for the choosing. A tour of the Peloponnese is a particular favourite. The delightful Peloponnesian cities, endless beaches, mountain destinations, picturesque villages, luxuriant nature with rivers and immense forests, the great archaeological sites and Byzantine churches, are an idea attracting many fans.
Getting to know Thrace and mystic Rodopi, touring Macedonia of the great kings, unravelling the secrets of Epirus, visiting Thessaly of the Gods and Centaurs, travelling through Central Greece and Evvoia where cultural traditions are untouched by time; all these experiences will leave the traveller with unforgettable memories, as will a trip by car to any of the countless Greek islands.
During the past few decades the transportation network of the country was modernised and impressively upgraded and, as a result, Greece today has an integrated transportation structure allowing for fast and safe travelling all over the country. Moreover, new projects are continuously being programmed, so that the infrastructures of the transportation grid of the country become more and more reliable.
The operation of the Rio-Andirrio Bridge (connecting the western Peloponnese with western Central Greece), the longest cable-stayed suspension bridge in Europe, and of the motorway "Egnatia Odos" in Northern Greece are of great importance for the improvement of road transportation in Greece.
The main road axes in Greece are listed below, followed by the European road number in brackets:
Athens - Thessaloniki (E 75 )
Athens - Corinth (E 94 )
Corinth - Patras (E 65 )
Corinth -Tripoli - Kalamata (E 65 )
Patras - Pyrgos - Olympia (E 55 )
Thessaloniki - Kavala - Alexandroupoli (E 90 )
Igoumenitsa - Alexandroupoli (Egnatia Odos Motorway)
Chania - Agios Nikolaos ( Crete E 75)
