Howdy everyone and welcome to the Wednesday Rundown. I hope today finds you stuffing your face with some type of grilled meat and taking a break from your daily grind. Today we have two great studio shoots. We also have a video off the beaten track, a BTS on the Macy's firework show. Check out this short documentary and see what it takes to make the visual lighting show. If you have a great and informative video you want to see in the Wednesday Rundown please shoot me an email firstname.lastname@example.com .
BTS Firework Display:
I hope this BTS video inspires some great shoots tonight. Just don't burn your models. Check out how the Macy's firework show happens and get inspired. It is all about the lighting!
Ring Light Photo Shoot:
Photographer Joey Wright shows off his alien bee ring light. With the help of some side lights Joey shows us some great shots with this ring light. This is the one of the cheapest strobe ring lights on the market right now. It is a little awkward to use but the results are pretty good.
Studio Fashion Shoot:
A beautiful b&w BTS video featuring Ashley Sky for a fashion shoot. With a fan and a white background the photographer captures some elegant photos of Ashley.

one cheap BTS to fireworks that doen't really gives any real info, and to smokin' hot girls to cool music without real photo insights...
Looks like the staff is all at the bbq for the 4th! ;)
Yeah, videos with little information.. a well, happy 4th of july u.s.a
Maybe more luck next week!
Can't really complain about what videos were rundown (well, ok, we can but that's only because it's the easiest thing to do on the web.) But you know, as they say: If you like none, then make one.

I live in California.
@Aids No esta lejos. Si cruzo el puente, luego luego se encuentra
Meant to be pretty bilingual in California, no?
Digging: Grimes - Art Angels
Album Rating: 4.0You haven't even seen them wow way to judge
Digging: The Brave Little Abacus - Just Got Back from the Discomfort
Album Rating: 4.5 | Sound Offlollll
in San Diego I guess, but most white people still speak ANLGISH GOSH DARNIT GO BACK TO YER HOMELAND DARKY
Digging: Laura Stevenson - Cocksure
Album Rating: 4.0Nah there are plenty of "Dey took ur job" type of white people here
I meant the genre in general.
Goddamit aids go learn some French ffs
Album Rating: 4.5 | Sound OffI know some French
used to almost fluent but then I dropped out of school and now when I try to speak it, a bunch of Spanish vocab floods into my head. I should have locked one of those languages down before casually picking up the other cause it fucks with you so hard.
Meant to be pretty bilingual in California, no?
Yeah, especially here in San Diego. There's all kinds of cultures and you'll hear various languages. I speak English and Spanish. I was taking French but I had to drop the class. I remember backpack being called Un Sac a Do or something like that. And I learned Ca Va :p Accents were there of course.
Mmm, I've never had the problem of mixing up languages.. not much anyway
Album Rating: 3.5Seriously fish, go watch Army of Darkness or I'll declare total war on your house.
Also, I'm almost trilingual ma'fuckas.
okay wolfy
I'm getting to be trilingual. Don't wanna stop there though
Album Rating: 3.5Maybe when I'm older and less busy building the skillset I will most likely need (or rather: want/want more) I might learn some Scandinavian languages because why the fuck not. And because Scandinavia's ace and they're easy to learn, apart from Finnish. (at least for me)
Finnish is closer to Hungarian than Swedish or Norwegian. I really find languages interesting. I considered doing linguistics at university for a short while, still might try to do it on the side.
I'm wary about putting off learning them. Already thinking about where I'll go next. I'm thinking German, Serbian or maybe Italian. Not interested in Scandinavian languages.
Album Rating: 3.5No shit, that's why I said it.
Scandinavian languages apart from Finnish aren't too different from German and English, although Finnish sounds quite hilarious. (kinda drunken)
Every German I've ever come across has been really good at languages
Album Rating: 3.5That's pretty ironic considering that's really not the case. At least regarding pronounciation, I mean vocabulary Idk possibly but overall language skills including pronounciation and stuff? Idk 'bout that.
Norwegians are meant to be the best
Album Rating: 3.5That's because it's Scandinavia. Aka "lol we didn't even try and we still outrank all of you in basically everything"
Album Rating: 4.5 | Sound Off'Mmm, I've never had the problem of mixing up languages.. not much anyway"
that's because of where/how you were born/raised
when you grow up speaking English English English and only English, all other languages just fall under "foreign" to you, and it takes a conscious effort to separate them. Especially in the case of Spanish and French, which are actually pretty similar in a lot of ways, it is easy to confuse grammar or vocab when you are less than 50% fluent in either one. I dropped out of school in third year, when I was taking some pretty intense all French courses, but then I traveled to South America and picked up a bit of Spanish to get around. As soon as I got back home and started trying to speak French again, I was throwing in all sorts of silly Spanish stuff. I am going to learn French fully, and not begin tackling another language until I am fluent.
That's ok they're cold and depressed.
Who is it with the universally agreed upon most superior culture in the world, eh?

The A's had another brilliant season. but they hit the Tigers which has been their postseason kryptonite.
I think Bob Melvin went done fucked up by starting Sonny Grey in game 5. I'd of gone with Colon who pitched way more shut outs this year. got more wins. Colon sounds like he'd be back next year.. but the do and die death attitude of someone on the mound chasing that ring. I believe he would of gone toe to toe with Verlander for the shut out until the disastorous Tigers bullpen would of opened up for the A's bats.
Anyways its all in hindsight. Tigers have advanced and the A's gotta work hard for another chance cause the 2014 Rangers & Angels should be much improved.

He could have also did it from the rear cuff position by being a regular everyday flexible teen. Either way it is not hard to conceal a firearm in the taint region and walk with your upper thighs clenched tightly so as to hold the weapon up. Officers are wrong no matter how they do things so I dont know what people expect of them when every action is the wrong action to someone.

Hi mate, thanks for the kind words on our site
You're actually one of the ones we were considering asking to join in with us sometime if you'd like. We are making podcasts bi-weekly that you'd be welcome to join in on but on top of that we are publishing articles on the site as well. If you feel like writing one, we'd be happy to review it and publish it on the site assuming it meets our standards. Otherwise, I hope you can join us on a podcast in the near future

The Monroe County Health Department has lifted the full body contact advisory for Luna Pier Beach.
On Thursday, the health department collected surface water samples and determined that the water quality is within acceptable standards and swimming may resume.
The advisory had been imposed earlier this week after water samples showed levels of E. coli bacteria exceeded maximum allowable standards.

Helpful Hints: Readers share tips on watering and talking to plants
I finally got a beautiful week for some gardening. I was in hog heaven.
I tilled the soil in my garden areas and around my trees and plants. I fed them some goodies, like banana peels, coffee grounds, eggs and molasses. If you need the recipe for your garden, please just email me and I will send it to you.
I received some great emails from fellow gardeners I thought I would share. Hope you enjoy them and remember if you have any secret tips you use I would love to hear them and share them as well.
1. A dear friend and faithful reader named Betty shared with me a story about her grandmother who was from Russia. Apparently she chewed tobacco and swore by the positive effects the tobacco juice had on her plants, both in her vegetable garden and flower garden. Thank you, Betty, for the great advice and the wonderful stories.
2. Another huge fan (that would be my mother, Sylvia) told me while shopping recently that Granny used to divert her washing machine rinse and wash cycles so they would drain either directly into her garden or into a container to catch it and then use it when watering. My mother (a granny herself ) has a beautiful garden, her roses are amazing. I need to find out what her trick is.
3. I wanted to let the wonderfully nice gentlemen who is also a faithful follower but is shy that his two dozen pansies he ordered are ready for pick up and to share with you his advice on pansies. Not only is he a lover of the flower but he believes strongly that they respond to human attention. He says to talk with them about anything in a soft, kind and happy voice. I know I have mentioned before I sing to my plants, flowers, trees and lawn. Mine seem to enjoy country Western or Motown tunes. You'll have to try to see what kinds of music your plants respond to. Hint: if they start to look sick and wither try a different type of music or stick to good old conversation.
4. This is a reminder for those of us who want to see some beautiful blooming flowers now and decide to buy some at a store. Remember that 99 percent of those bought in supermarkets, drug stores etc., are grown in green houses. They will need to be slowly acclimated to your area and climate. Try taking them outside daily for two or three days, then leave them in their pots another day or two before planting in your yard. Of course make sure the danger of frost is pretty much over before ever planting anything outdoors.
Hope you all have a great week. Remember cloudy, wet days are some of the best times to plant, move or make changes in your gardens.

In my teen years, one of my first jobs was cleaning two houses for teachers of mine, until I graduated. After my second child, I decided to be a stay home mom. Being a mom for a 13 year and 7-year-old, I believe suffices for my housekeeping experience. When I tried getting out into workplace, very hard to find anything, so one of my co-workers/friend suggested I start my own cleaning business, since I enjoyed cleaning so much. She actually gave me my first three clients, but I'm seeking a couple of more. I'm a very honest, dependable, trustworthy person and I actually enjoy to clean. You won't be disappointed.

My review of 10,000 B.C. is now up at CT Movies. One detail I don't mention there is that I found Camilla Belle's eyebrows, and eye make-up in general, as distracting in this film as I found Raquel Welch's eyebrows in One Million Years B.C. (1966).
10,000 B.C. — the review's up!

Kings of Leon's rep has confirmed that bassist Jared Followill has been "hanging out" with "Dancing With the Stars" dance-pert Julianne Hough. Unclear why they were "hanging out" at Lipstick Lounge, a lesbian bar, but we hear they're very accepting of pursed-lipped folks there. (Popeater)

Dog beach and dog droppings
At the beginning of the promenade to the Golden Beach there is a small stretch of beach for your dog. In all other places dogs are banned from the beaches.
Also you will find signs in Bol that you are to pick up your dog's pooh. There are free pooh bags available.
Eating them alive, instead of cooking.
The sea urchins are considered a great and expensive delicacy on the Adriatic coastline. However they are easy to gather; all you need is a diving mask with a tube. Dive down to the seabed and catch as many as you can.
And local feature is eating them straight from getting them from the sea, while they are still alive!! It is so fresh that it moves when you touch it. You either just lick the insides out or, if you are feeling slightly more refined, you scoop them out with a knife or small spoon.
Unfortunately... I have never developed much of an appetite for raw seafood, but I prefer my food quite dead first, and no longer moving.
If you cook them, they taste a bit sweet, like lobster.

text: Dear sbcl-help, Forgive me if this is just a bad idea altogether, but, is it possible to take an arbitrary hunk of memory and trick sbcl into thinking that it is an array? Obviously, I don't want this region to be gc'ed or moved, but if I could just read/write into it, that would be nice. Alternatively, can I use ub32-bash-copy to copy from an external region into an existing arrays storage area? Thanks, Cyrus

Alcohol Craving Disappeared Overnight!

I have only started using oils very recently, but I have already had a distinct, amazing, and unintentional effect make a drastic positive change in my life.
Just a few weeks ago I used to drink a lot. Though there was no real ill-consequence in my life because of it, I was definitely an alcoholic. I started using the oils for general health benefits. It took me a few days to realize that not only had I not had anything to drink in days, but I had no interest anymore whatsoever. I did not intend to quit, but now that I have, I feel amazing and I am very thankful.
I have been using many oils and so cannot point to a specific one (though my intuition tells me lavender was a large part of it). I would just say that the lifestyle itself promotes the kind of toxin-cleansing that makes this kind of thing possible.
I wonder if it might do the same for other addictions?

True but the point about those studies is that they look at adult learners
without formal training. With formal training you can do amazing things,
just think of all those opera singers who can sing in German and Italian and
generally sound like natives.
You may never fully lose your accent but everyone can reach a stage where
their pronunciation isn't an hinderance to communication anymore.

Maria has a small business buying and selling pigs. Once a week she also sells tripe, fries, grilled meat, sausages, pork chops, meat, tamales etc. She also has store. Maria buys the supplies she needs on credit from markets and distribution trucks in nearby communities.
One of Maria's dreams is to make improvements to her home and another is to expand her business. She will use this loan money to buy live pigs, and also to buy some items for the home such as rice, sugar, beans, and oil.
Maria Eddy is very grateful for the assistance that Kiva donors provide to poor people.

Additional Information
Fundación Leon 2000This loan is administered by Fundación Leon 2000. Fundación Leon 2000 began operations in 1993 as the first microfinance institution to serve the western part of Nicaragua, a country which continues to be one of the poorest in the western hemisphere. Fundación Leon 2000 works to further the development of micro, small, and medium enterprises through credit services and management, applying the best credit industry practices and technical expertise. Additionally, Fundación Leon manages several business and financial education programs in the community, specifically for young entrepreneurs and at-risk youth. Fundación Leon 2000's group of experienced and dedicated employees works in 7 offices in Leon, Chinandega, Chichigalpa, Somotillo, Jinotepe, El Sauce, and Nagarote and serves several thousand clients (the majority of whom are women).
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.
Loan tags help lenders find loans that match certain areas of interest. You can add up to 5 tags for this loan.

There's a new kid on the block in the web browser neighborhood: CHROME by Google. Yet another web browser that front end web developers need to consider testing their websites in. Or do we?
Depends… All of the web developers that I've met with consider Internet Explorer the most important web browser to check their websites in. Not because they prefer Internet Explorer, but simply because the majority of website visitors use Internet Explorer. So if a client wants their website to be successful, it's the web developers responsibility to ensure the website works in whatever browser a site visitor might be using.
Despite caring most about Internet Explorer, many web developers I've met first test their pages in FireFox and after the page checks out okay in Firefox, only then do they test the page in Internet Explorer. They do this because FireFox is currently better at rendering standards-based markup according to the guidelines put forth by the W3C…better than Internet Explorer version 7, and especially better than version 6. But version 8 of Internet Explorer (still in public BETA at this time) appears on its way to changing that.
So how do you keep up with who's using what browser when you're deciding which browsers to target when developing your website? There are many websites that provide statistics on the number of users that use a particular web browser. Here are some free websites that I'm aware of:
That's certainly not all that's out there…where else are YOU getting your web browser data? Please comment on this post or send me an email.
If you've installed Chrome on your computer and are using Expression Web (version 2 or 1), you can start testing your web pages in it (or any other web browser installed on your computer) by adding the browser to the Edit Browser List dialog box:

ACC Notebook: Championship game on move?
Steve Megargee
PINEHURST, N.C. � The Atlantic Coast Conference hasn't ruled out the possibility of rotating the sites for its championship game.
ACC officials plan to announce the sites for the 2008, 2009 and 2010 championship games in December, ACC Associate Commissioner Michael Kelly said Tuesday during the final day of the ACC Media Days at the Pinehurst Resort.
The ACC's contract to hold the game in Jacksonville, Fla., expires at the end of this season. Jacksonville is competing with Tampa, Orlando and Charlotte, N.C., for the rights to the 2008, 2009 and 2010 championships.
"It's not a winner-take-all situation," Kelly said. "It could be a situation where we award one to one city, one to another. It could be all three to one."
The Southeastern Conference has held its championship game in Atlanta since 1994 after holding the first two games in Birmingham, Ala. But the Big 12 has played its 11 championship games in five different cities.
"The biggest favorable part of that is it gives you an opportunity to see those different cities and venues and how they would do at hosting a game," ACC Commissioner John Swofford said. "If you're not there, you're guessing. You have a perception of what it would be like and how well it could be done and how well it would be attended, but you
don't know until you give it a try. It would be a reality test.
"The other side of that is you're not giving one locale the opportunity to develop the game there locally, building on each and every year."
Each of the cities competing for the right to host the championship must submit a proposal by Aug. 31.
Swofford acknowledged that the uncertainty surrounding the Citrus Bowl could hinder Orlando's opportunity to host a championship game by 2010. The Orange County (Fla.) Commission is scheduled to vote this week on a $1.1 billion construction package that would include renovation of the stadium among other projects.
"There are some unknowns there in terms of timing and exactly what will be done with the stadium and when it will be done," Swofford said. "We would certainly welcome Orlando, but with the stadium renovation project not yet determined and the probability that it would be going on during this three-year period, it may be that Orlando comes back into the picture later on."
Dix, Harding, honored
Dix won the 100-meter and 200-meter dash and ran on the first-place 4x100 relay team to help Florida State capture its second consecutive national title in men's outdoor track. Dix
received 31 votes, while Georgia Tech wide receiver Calvin Johnson was second with 23 votes, and Duke lacrosse player Matt Danowski finished third with 12 votes.
Harding won the Naismith Award given to the nation's most outstanding player and led Duke to an undefeated regular-season record. Harding received 22 votes to edge North Carolina soccer player Heather O'Reilly by a single vote. Wake Forest distance runner Michelle Sikes and Maryland field hockey player Paula Infante tied for third place with eight votes each.
Background checks
In the wake of the scandal involving former NBA official Tim Donaghy, Swofford noted that the ACC is entering its second year of conducting background checks for football, men's basketball and women's basketball officials.
Swofford said he believes the Big Ten and ACC are the only conferences with such a program in place. The NCAA also conducts its own background checks for officials in the NCAA Tournament and bowl games, Swofford said.
The FBI is investigating Donaghy regarding accusations that he bet on games he officiated the last two seasons.
Donaghy resigned July 9.

· Silver Fox travellers among the most adventurous
· Seventy year olds seek romantic escapes more than any age group
· Most sports breaks taken by forty year olds
· Sixty year olds are the most commitment free
· Off the beaten track holidays most popular with fifty year olds
To celebrate its fortieth anniversary, British Airways has undertaken research of 2,000 people aged 20-70+, to see if life beings at forty. The old adage that we're living longer, travelling further and staying younger than ever before rings true according to the findings, which reveal that spontaneous travel increases with age.
Although forty-something's are the age most likely to take family holidays, they are also the most likely to book sporting breaks, seek glamorous destinations, and partake in 'dark tourism' (travel to macabre places). By contrast those in there thirties were the biggest beach goers, the fifty age bracket most likely to get off the beaten track, and those aged seventy or older were more likely to seek romantic holidays than any other age group!
When asked what the benefit of being a seasoned traveller is, those in their forties felt grateful that they could still see the world while active, while fifty-something's said it was having the money to travel in style.
Of all age groups however, it's the forty year old that is most likely to have the biggest group of friends to go away with, while those in their twenties and sixties found common ground in being commitment free.
When it comes to life beginning at forty, looking back, most 50-70 year olds would agree (53 per cent) it does, however looking ahead only 32 per cent of 20-40 year olds agreed.
British Airways celebrates its fortieth anniversary this April, following the merger of BOAC and BEA in 1974.
To celebrate, the airline has created special 'Ruby Murray' curry dishes available on selected flights for the month, as well as recreating classic photos from 1974 to mark the occasion.

Welcome to Year 3! This is a very exciting year because it is the transition from Key Stage One to Key Stage Two, where the children are encouraged to become more independent learners. They not only revise what they have learnt in previous years but continue to enrich their lives through new multi- sensory learning experiences.
The children are encouraged to learn in a creative, fun and energetic way. This means acting out characters and scenes from books, going on a 'Shape Walk' around the school to spot different shapes, and travelling back in time to see how people in Ancient Greece lived. This approach brings learning alive for the children and enhances their understanding of the topics covered. Every child will be given time to progress and learn at their own pace in order to achieve their individual potential.
I believe the most important aspect of my job is to inspire the children to investigate the world around them, to prepare them for a fulfilling life as 21st Century adults by providing them with opportunities to be independent thinkers and confident learners.
As part of our Science topic on Teeth and Healthy Eating, and linked to our Design and Technology topic on Designing and Making, Year 3 were asked to plan, sketch and prepare a healthy sandwich for their snack.
Year 3 have been working hard, designing and making photo frames to raise money at our annual Summer Fair.

Right now I'm using Chrome as a primary because of the speed, with Flock as 1st backup cause it'll accept most Firefox extensions but moves quicker than FF. For serious extensions I'll use FireFox, and if I wanna do the equivalent of driving down the WWW Highway with my air filter on the seat beside me... there's IE.
For those that need the extra speed but dont want to chug at the slower pace of Firefox when laden with tools... try Flock.
Nice to see the test data confirms what the "feel" of them indicated... good job on the research Hellas.
i posted this on opera firefox and chrome forums
on Opera forums is biggest discussion because they have biggest forum
on Firefox there is also a nice discussion but on chrome forums
there is no one :D
also some people get offended why their browser is not on first place
and they gave me bunch of advices for next test and links for large java script test... so next text will involve functionality and usability and at least 4-5 more browsers... Maybe i will try Linux browsers to.
Thanks Will for suggestions.
Also, kudos to you for pushing forward with limited writing skills!! Great Job and nice Tenacity!
And with much better graphics and images. As I said i did not expected that so many people would be interested for results.
From Will faq site I got, until now, over 1800 visitors. And from Opera and Firefox forums over 500... Thanks Will one more time.

There is no doubt that Big Data holds infinite promise for a range of industries. Better visibility into data across various sources enables everything from insight into saving electricity to agricultural yield to placement of ads on Google. But when it comes to deriving value from data, no industry has been doing it as long or with as much rigor as clinical researchers.
Unlike other markets that are delving into Big Data for the first time and don't know where to begin, drug and device developers have spent years refining complex processes for asking very specific questions with clear purposes and goals. Whether using data for designing an effective and safe treatment for cholesterol, or collecting and mining data to understand proper dosage of cancer drugs, life sciences has had to dot every "i" and cross every "t" in order to keep people safe and for new therapies to pass muster with the FDA. Other industries are now marveling at a new ability to uncover information about efficiencies and cost savings, but - with less than rigorous processes in place - they are often shooting in the dark or only scratching the surface of what Big Data offers.
Drug developers today are standing on the shoulders of those who created, tested and secured FDA approval for treatments involving millions of data points (for one drug alone!) without the luxury of the cloud or sophisticated analytics systems. These systems have the potential to make the best data-driven industry even better. This article will outline key lessons and real-world examples of what other industries can and should learn from life sciences when it comes to understanding how to work with Big Data.
What Questions to Ask, What Data to Collect
In order to gain valuable insights from Big Data, there are two absolute requirements that must be met - understanding both what questions to ask and what data to collect. These two components are symbiotic, and understanding both fully is difficult, requiring both domain expertise and practical experience.
In order to know what data to collect, you first must know the types of questions that you're going to want to ask - often an enigma. With the appropriate planning and experience-based guesses, you can often make educated assumptions. The trick to collecting data is that you need to collect enough to answer questions, but if you collect too much then you may not be able to distill the specific subset that will answer your questions. Also, explicit or inherent cost can prevent you from collecting all possible data, in which case you need to carefully select which areas to collect data about.
Let's take a look at how this is done in clinical trials. Say you're designing a clinical study that will analyze cancer data. You may not have specific questions when the study is being designed, but it's reasonable to assume that you'll want to collect data related to commonly impacted readings for the type of cancer and whatever body system is affected, so that you have the right information to analyze when it comes time.
You may also want to collect data unrelated to the specific disease that subsequent questions will likely require, such as information on demographics and medications that the patient is taking that are different from the treatment. During the post-study data analysis, questions on these areas often arise, even though the questions aren't initially apparent. Thus clinical researchers have adopted common processes for collecting data on demographics and concomitant medications. Through planning and experience, you can also identify areas that do not need to be collected for each study. For example, if you're studying lung cancer, collecting cognitive function data is probably unrelated.
How can other industries anticipate what questions to ask, as is done in life sciences? Well, determine a predefined set of questions that are directly related to the goal of the data analysis. Since you will not know all of the questions until after the data collection have started, it's important to 1) know the domain, and 2) collect any data you'll need to answer the likely questions that could come up.
Also, clinical researchers have learned that questions can be discovered automatically. There are data mining techniques that can uncover statistically significant connections, which in effect are raising questions that can be explored in more detail afterwards. An analysis can be planned before data is collected, but not actually be run until afterwards (or potentially during), if the appropriate data is collected.
One other area that has proven to be extremely important to collect is metadata, or data about the data - such as, when it was collected, where it was collected, what instrumentation was used in the process and what calibration information was available. All of this information can be utilized later on to answer a lot of potentially important questions. Maybe there was a specific instrument that was incorrectly configured and all the resulting data that it recorded is invalid. If you're running an ad network, maybe there's a specific web site where your ads are run that are gaming the system trying to get you to pay more. If you're running a minor league team, maybe there's a specific referee that's biased, which you can address for subsequent games. Or, if you're plotting oil reserves in the Gulf of Mexico, maybe there are certain exploratory vessels that are taking advantage of you. In all of these cases, without the appropriate metadata, it'd be impossible to know where real problems reside.
Identifying Touch Points to Be Reviewed Along the Way
There are ways to specify which types of analysis can be performed, even while data is being collected, that can affect either how data will continue to be collected or the outcome as a whole.
For example, some clinical studies run what's called interim analysis while the study is in progress. These interim analyses are planned, and the various courses that can be used afterwards are well defined, but the results afterward are statistically usable. This is called an adaptive clinical trial, and there are a lot of studies that are being performed to determine more effective and useful ways that these can be done in the future. The most important aspect of these is preventing biases, and this is something that has been well understood and tested by the pharmaceutical community over the past several decades. Simply understanding what's happening during the course of a trial, or how it affects the desired outcome, can actually bias the results.
The other key factor is that the touch points are accessible to everybody who needs the data. For example, if you have a person in the field, then it's important to have him or her access the data in a format that's easily consumable to them - maybe through an iPad or an existing intranet portal. Similarly, if you have an executive that needs to understand something at a high level, then getting it to them in an easily consumable executive dashboard is extremely important.
As the life sciences industry has learned, if the distribution channels of the analytics aren't seamless and frictionless, then they won't be utilized to their fullest extent. This is where cloud-based analytics become exceptionally powerful - the cloud makes it much easier to integrate analytics into every user's day. Once each user gets the exact information they need, effortlessly, they can then do their job better and the entire organization will work better - regardless of how and why the tools are being used.
Augmenting Human Intuition
Think about the different types of tools that people use on a daily basis. People use wrenches to help turn screws, cars to get to places faster and word processers to write. Sure, we can use our hands or walk, but we're much more efficient and better when we can use tools.
Cloud-based analytics is a tool that enables everybody in an organization to perform more efficiently and effectively. The first example of this type of augmentation in the life sciences industry is alerting. A user tells the computer what they want to see, and then the computer alerts them via email or text message when the situation arises. Users can set rules for the data it wants to see, and then the tools keep on the lookout to notify the user when the data they are looking for becomes available.
Another area the pharmaceutical industry has thoroughly explored is data-driven collaboration techniques. In the clinical trial process, there are many different groups of users: those who are physically collecting the data (investigators), others who are reviewing it to make sure that it's clean (data managers), and also people who are stuck in the middle (clinical monitors). Of course there are many other types of users, but this is just a subset to illustrate the point. These different groups of users all serve a particular purpose relating to the overall collection of data and success of the study. When the data looks problematic or unclean, the data managers will flag it for review, which the clinical monitors can act on.
What's unique about the way that life sciences deals with this is that they've set up complex systems and rules to make sure that the whole system runs well. The tools associated around these processes help augment human intuition through alerting, automated dissemination and automatic feedback. The questions aren't necessarily known at the beginning of a trial, but as the data is collected, new questions evolve and the tools and processes in place are built to handle the changing landscape.
No matter what the purpose of Big Data analytics, any organization can benefit from the mindset of cloud-based analytics as a tool that needs to consistently be adjusted and refined to meet the needs of users.
Ongoing Challenges of Big Data Analytics
Given this history with data, one would expect that drug and device developers would be light years ahead when it comes to leveraging Big Data technologies - especially given that the collection and analytics of clinical data is often a matter of life and death. But while they have much more experience with data, the truth is that life sciences organizations are just now starting to integrate analytics technologies that will enable them to work with that data in new, more efficient ways - no longer involving billions of dollars a year, countless statisticians, archaic methods, and, if we're being honest, brute force. As new technology becomes available, the industry will continue to become more and more seamless. In the meantime, other industries looking to wrap their heads around the Big Data challenge should look to life sciences as the starting point for best practices in understanding how and when to ask the right questions, monitoring data along the way and selecting tools that improve the user experience.
The Internet of Things (IoT) is growing rapidly by extending current technologies, products and networks. By 2020, Cisco estimates there will be 50 billion connected devices. Gartner has forecast revenues of over $300 billion, just to IoT suppliers. Now is the time to figure out how you'll make money – not just create innovative products. With hundreds of new products and companies jumping into the IoT fray every month, there's no shortage of innovation. Despite this, McKinsey/VisionMobile data shows "less than 10 percent of IoT developers are making enough to support a reasonably sized team....

The cloud. Like a comic book superhero, there seems to be no problem it can't fix or cost it can't slash. Yet making the transition is not always easy and production environments are still largely on premise. Taking some practical and sensible steps to reduce risk can also help provide a basis for a successful cloud transition. A plethora of surveys from the likes of IDG and Gartner show that more than 70 percent of enterprises have deployed at least one or more cloud application or workload. Yet a closer inspection at the data reveals less than half of these cloud projects involve production...

Microservices are a very exciting architectural approach that many organizations are looking to as a way to accelerate innovation. Microservices promise to allow teams to move away from monolithic "ball of mud" systems, but the reality is that, in the vast majority of organizations, different projects and technologies will continue to be developed at different speeds. How to handle the dependencies between these disparate systems with different iteration cycles? Consider the "canoncial problem" in this scenario: microservice A (releases daily) depends on a couple of additions to backend B (re...

Too often with compelling new technologies market participants become overly enamored with that attractiveness of the technology and neglect underlying business drivers. This tendency, what some call the "newest shiny object syndrome" is understandable given that virtually all of us are heavily engaged in technology. But it is also mistaken. Without concrete business cases driving its deployment, IoT, like many other technologies before it, will fade into obscurity.

Hey paddy1,
Try giving it some harsher lighting and use more angular features instead of the roundness you are giving it currnetly. Sharper, harsher lines are associated with more predatory creatures, usually.
Hope that helps some.

I'll give it a go I was thinking of a timberwolf polar bear mix earlier so I'll go and tweak that a bit. Cheers Oreg.
You could exaggerate his jawline a little in the profile, and make it look like he isn't smiling from the front. Maybe make him walk a little more hunched over like he is stalking something.
going for the more evil, less cute feel, caught it a bit, but his shoulders are too round
heads, damn heads.
20 minutes pratting around with snow and stuff
1 1/2 hours watching truman show again, need to work out how to do that wolf face in perspective (no chance), and a suitable mask for a canine face must be done.
I really like the last one...but it could use some MORE tender loving care. Dont stop yet....its AWESOME!
Great imagination.
Woops! WIP. Ok. I will shut up and wait.
Cheers for the compliment van, you're right even though realised late that it is a WIP, I've got 4 days, and barely any computer time to fiddle for the drizzledome.
Which would you go for? Any ideas? Anybody?
really nice work here

Wow, its really great to see how this progressed from your first ideas. I reminds me of the wombles, or atleast if you pissed a womble off. I wouldnt even attempt it after seeing this pick. The last changes really have brought it to life and given it great contrast, epic white peaks.

cheers Rhaucan, sorry for the tardy reply, but it's over now we won yay.
carterartist what are you on about? What 3d stuff? Did you post in the wrong thread? If not thanx anyway.
It seems I've gone all dangley bits and pointy jobs, in the last couple of days.
5 minute colour it's crap but I needed to see something other than graphite
Nothing here more than half an hour, and only then cause I couldn't stop fiddling.
There be Nazi stuff below
I ain't a nazi or a fan of nazi's it's just a thunderdome thing.
my beef dome progression so far, didn't bother with the thumbs coz they were crap.

I love your v dallas entry. You're work is coming on leaps and bounds...keep it up. Watching others improve inspires me to keep at it.
this is it the final piece dunno if I'll do anymore to it later, and all with a round brush and a hell of a lot of smudging.
cheers for the reply Madoliane good to know some people still look in here.

That polar bear is very frightening. I like it a lot.
cheers spork, I hope atleast some of that was sarcasm, or you must shit when you have a bad nightmare.
idea for a logo
inspired by a kevin j anderson story
dodgy profile shot of liono just for the shape of the face really
Hi I've just looked through your sketchbook and it's really cool just how much progress you've made.
some of the images on the second page really are very good, whatever it is that you are doing, keep it up!
I especially like some of the little thumbnail random alien thingie type heads, and the final polar bear image is really nice.
you've inspired me to get a sketchbook together, someday, when I can work out how, or something.
anyhow, good stuff mate. I like.
cheers for that, good to see more you-kay involvement in the boards, get your stuff together and post it, I wanna see some.
