Minister Planas, elected representatives, ladies and gentlemen,
Thank you very much for the opportunity to speak at this important event, which I was very glad to accept.
The European Commission is a strong supporter of agricultural digitisation, as part of our broader mission to achieve the digital transformation of the European economy.
One of the ten priorities of this Commission is to establish a digital single market. Because of cultural, economic and institutional boundaries, Europe has a more fragmented market than the USA. This can be a challenge for many sectors.
Establishing a real single market with minimal obstacles to work across boundaries is therefore essential to unlock the substantial economies of scale the digital sector can achieve.
Within this overarching goal, the digitisation of the rural economy, including farming and food production, is a key challenge.
Existing Policies Supporting Digitisation of Agriculture
Digital technologies are already, as we speak, transforming the way we produce our food, manage our land, the way we eat and consume our food and even the way we do research. Andalusia has been a front runner from the start and is very active today in many initiatives in this area.
To reinforce the EU's competitiveness in digital technologies, the "Digitising European Industries" initiative supports both the development of digital industrial platforms and large-scale pilots that provide the digital technology building blocks of the future.
We invest in these initiatives through our EU Research and innovation programme Horizon 2020. Under this programme we will invest in "Agricultural digital integration platforms".
These platforms will make data accessible and allow third parties to develop applications based on that data, and connect different users and application to developers. Equipped with appropriate business models, digital agricultural platforms can ultimately be instrumental in the creation of open digital innovation ecosystems.
In April last year, the workshop on "Data Sharing and how to ensure a fair sharing of digitisation benefits in agriculture" addressed key issues such as trust and data ownership. This led a coalition of organisations active in the sector to develop a Code of Conduct on agricultural data sharing.
Although this is a private sector initiative, we have been in close contact with the European farmers organisation COPA and the European Agricultural Machinery organisation, CEMA, as well as with the other organisations involved. The code recognises that access to and use of farm data should be determined by the farmer. This is also my conviction.
Another target is to provide all those who have a good idea with the tools necessary to develop that idea. That is why we are now setting up a vast network of agricultural Digital Innovation Hubs across the EU.
In this project, we support the networking of competence centres across Europe. The idea is that an innovator in Spain might need specific competences on robotics, only available in Poland. The same hubs will also provide access to finance, advice and every other element which can support the realisation of the many good ideas in a bottom-up but very European way.
As many of you know, the Andalusian region is heavily involved in this project and has already set up its agricultural digital innovation hub.
Other initiatives include work on the ethics of artificial intelligence, privacy and many more domains, in which we should balance what is technically possible with European values like fairness and openness.
These are positive steps in the right direction. But the evolution towards a digitised agri-food sector is still moving too slowly.
We need to speed it up, because the challenges facing farmers today are immense: they are asked to produce more and better food while using fewer inputs; they are tasked with reducing their environmental footprint; they are expected to meet evolving consumer demands; and they are expected to cope with climate change and volatile global markets.
Future CAP & Horizon Europe
So how can we speed things up? Smart, forward-looking policy tools are the answer.
That is why we are proposing to double the budget for Research and Innovation in Food and Natural Resources, under the Horizon Europe for the period 2021 to 2027.
Under this programme, with an unprecedented budget of €10 billion, the EU will keep investing strongly in digital research and innovation for the farming sector.
This is also why we have raised our ambitions for climate and environmental sustainability in our proposals for the future CAP, placing digitisation as a cross-cutting objective.
Member States will have to show in their future so-called CAP strategic plan how they will support investments:
in modernisation, innovation, diversification and uptake of new technologies and digital-based opportunities in the farm sector;
and in the development of digital infrastructure and human capital (including advisors) to create new opportunities and improve the connectivity and attractiveness of rural areas.
In the policy context of creating a digital single market and an open and fair digital environment for sustainable food production, we have a strong case for EU public intervention in agricultural digitisation.
In the area of e-government, my services are working with other Commission services to improve access to the Land Parcel Identification System (LPIS) and also to other Integrated Administration and Control System (IACS) spatial data.
The European Commission will continue the efforts to persuade all Member States to share IACS spatial data.
Europe now has the world's most comprehensive, high performance, civil constellation of Earth imaging satellites – the Copernicus Sentinels. These offer significant new sources of data for key CAP tasks such as yield forecasts, as well as new priorities such as improved performance monitoring.
We have world class navigation and positioning with Galileo.
We have the capacity to handle big data in the cloud.
And we have an active, creative and productive scientific community advancing the use of Artificial Intelligence.
Technology can help our key stakeholders, both farmers and administrations, to avoid complexity, AND keep financial assurance at the same high level as before.
Deploying these technologies can help to build systems based on results – we can actually observe and measure progress.
Administrators and farmers will get warnings – not notices of non-compliance.
And crucially, farmers and administrators will not have to spend hours and days filling in forms and dealing with unwanted officials visiting their land.
In this way, technology and data solutions can deliver a simpler, better-targeted and better performing EU agri-food production system.
Smart Villages
I would also like to draw your attention to the Smart Villages concept. This is an EU initiative to harness connectivity and digitisation in the creation of a better life in rural areas.
In 2018, the European Commission supported by several MEPs issued the Bled Declaration, officially launching the development of a Smart Villages approach. The goal was to see Smart Villages becoming a model in EU Member States already in 2019.
A pilot project on Smart Eco-Social Villages was launched in 2017 and is on track to conclude in April 2019. This project is focusing on the analysis of ten best practice examples for Smart Village and six case studies on potential Smart Villages. Final results will be presented in a stakeholder workshop in March 2019.
Those villages developed should serve as models for the inspiration of others.
Connectivity & Broadband
Finally, I want to repeat a point I have made on many occasions before: digitisation and the uptake of new technology requires connectivity.
To reach this Promised Land, we need better broadband, connectivity and infrastructure. And of course we need to address the huge rural-urban gap in the provision of broadband.
While 76 % of the EU population now has access to fast broadband only 40 % of homes in rural areas have such access.
This is a serious handicap for the development of new businesses, jobs and prosperity. The lack of connectivity has an extremely high cost for rural populations in general but for agriculture in particular.
To help to close this gap, around €6 billion has been dedicated to improve the roll-out of broadband, especially in rural and peripheral areas, benefiting around 18 million rural citizens.
In conclusion, ladies and gentlemen, we have a strong case for EU public intervention in agricultural and rural digitisation. But I want to stress that public policy intervention should only go as far as needed and allow you to do your job.
This is why we rely on you, the digital innovators, and I am looking forward to hearing about your latest ideas to make our agriculture and economy more competitive and sustainable at the same time. Thank you.

Before we get to today's topic: How To Day Trade and Swing Trade Triangles (one of my very favorite trading price patterns) …
I want to thank everyone who voted for Top Dog Trading in the Technical Analysis of Stocks and Commodities Magazine "Readers Choice Awards."
This is an annual awards poll conducted by "Technical Analysis of Stocks and Commodities Magazine."
By the way, this is a great magazine that I personally subscribe to and highly recommend. You can learn more about it by clicking HERE.
I'm especially proud of these awards because the winners are chosen by the readers themselves, meaning the users of the products and services.
Generally it's mega stock market trading corporations with huge marketing budgets that win these awards. But I'm honored and humbled to say that I was graced with awards in both categories for which I qualified:
- The Technical Analysis Websites category.
- The Trading Centers, Schools, Training category.
The Trading Schools category was especially an honor because the only schools that achieved higher awards then me were FREE educational sites. Mine was the highest paid educational program, coming in well above all the "big boys" in the trading education world.
To be given such high rankings above massive stock market, E-minis and Forex trading companies is quite an honor and I thank all of you who voted for me.
Okay, now for TODAY'S VIDEO:
How To Day Trade and Swing Trade Triangles
There are many popular price patterns that we can trade:
- Head and shoulders
- Double tops
- Wedges
- Channels
- Cup and Saucer
- … and many others
Of all the large multi-bar price patterns to day (both for day trading and swing trading), triangles are my favorite. So today you'll learn an unorthodox way to How To Day Trade and Swing Trade Triangles.
Back in the days when I was the head moderator for a live chat room, I was known as the Triangle King. I was finding and trading Triangle patterns consistently when others couldn't even see them!
Symmetrical triangles, ascending triangles, descending triangle … it doesn't matter, I trade them all.
One of the reasons I love trading them is that they are part of my "Ex-Con" trade patterns, which I love. These are setups that identify the market cycle between contracting (low-volatility) markets, and expanding (high volatility) markets.
These are fun and profitable to trade because getting in at the beginning of a new high volatility cycle provides us with the opportunity to enjoy and big fast move in the market (and potentially big, fast profits).
One of the most common questions traders ask me is how to determine if the market is going to break out to the upside or downside.
The common wisdom is that ascending triangles break out to the upside and descending triangles break to the downside. Beware: the statistics I've seen gathered on that are based on daily charts and don't apply to day trading.
Personally, the direction of the triangle has no bearing on whether I'm looking for price action to break out to the upside or downside. I use the fractal energy to provide the direction of the breakout.
This video will provide a bit of insight on how I trade them differently than most people.
There are 2 common ways to trade triangles:
- Trade the breakout of the upper or lower trend line.
- After the breakout, wait for the market to retrace back toward the triangle and then enter in the direction of the breakout.
I don't personally like trading either of these techniques, though I'll trade the second approach if it presents itself (usually I'm adding to my position at this point).
My preferred technique for trading the pattern is enter the trade "inside" the triangle. This is a rare approach I've not seen others teach.

Trunfio, Giuseppe Andrea (2006) Exploiting spatio-temporal data for the multiobjective optimization of Cellular Automata models. In: Intelligent Data Engineering and Automated Learning, IDEAL 2006: 7th International Conference: proceedings, September 20-23, 2006, Burgos, Spain. Berlin - New York, Springer. p. 81-89.

The increased availability of remotely sensed spatio-temporal data offers the chance to improve the reliability of an important class of Cellular Automata (CA) models used for the simulation of real complex systems. To this end, this paper proposes a multiobjective approach, based on a genetic algorithm, which can present some significant advantages if compared with standard single-objective optimizations. The method exploits the available temporal sequences of spatial data in order to produce CAs which are non-dominated with respect to multiple objectives. The latter represent, in different metrics, the level of agreement between the simulated and real spatio-temporal processes. The set of non-dominated CAs proves to be a valuable source of information about potentialities and limits of a specific CA model structure.

When Portuguese explorer Bartolomeu Dias rounded the rocky headland of South Africa's Cape Peninsula in 1488, he became the first European to do so, thus opening the way for a sea route from Europe to Asia. He named it the "Cape of Storms", because of the perilous sea, but it was later renamed "Cape of Good Hope", because it brought hopes of a new sea route to India. On his return journey, Dias passed another rocky headland, but he was unaware that this unimpressive point was the southern extremity of Africa. Indeed, many people still believe that Cape of Good Hope is the southern-most tip of the African continent, but that title belongs to Cape Agulhas – the inconspicuous rocky headland about 150 km further south. Incidentally, Cape Agulhas is also the place where the official dividing line between the Atlantic and Indian Oceans passes. A stone plaque on the beach marks the place.

Participating artists: Gary Beeber | Debi Cornwall | Katie Harwood | Sarah-Marie Land | Hye-Ryoung Min | Christopher Rauschenberg | Isaac Sachs | Joel Stevenett
Works selected by Yaelle S. Amir, Newspace Curator
The photographers participating in Newspace's summer group exhibition, CAPTURED 2015, address a diverse range of subjects, yet share a common goal to observe and capture human tendencies. From these eight distinct expressions, viewers are able to learn about the different ways we all navigate through and participate in contemporary society.
Gary Beeber (New York, NY) documents the nightlife of New York City's transgender community. In this exhibition he will show works about Mona Marlowe in her home, surrounded by the objects and images that have shaped her desire to make the transition. Debi Cornwall (Brooklyn, NY) will present a selection of works from her series Gitmo at Home, Gitmo at Play, which explores the grim absurdity of daily life and environs of those displaced to the U.S. Naval Base in Guantánamo Bay, Cuba. In Spring Cleaning in the Hinterlands, Katie Harwood (Boulder, CO and San Francisco, CA) observes items discarded by families in upper middle-class suburban neighborhoods during the ritual of spring cleaning, pointing to the broader socio-economic implications of consumer culture. Sarah-Marie Land (St. Louis, MO) takes careful portraits of children wearing their school uniforms, raising questions concerning identity, education, and class system. Also turning her lens to a fragile period of childhood, Hye-Ryoung Min (New York, NY) documents her young niece, Yeonsoo, as she navigates her relationships with those around her. In his series of photographs in this exhibition, Christopher Rauschenberg (Portland, OR) observes a continuity of human behavior, where he captures the ways in which individuals in the New York Public Library interact with written materials in the modern era. Isaac Sachs (Portland, OR) views the landscape as space that is given meaning by human activity, thus documenting the ways in which nature interacts with manmade environments, as it grows between, around and within built spaces. In his series Kingsway Project, Joel Stevenett (Vancouver, BC) is inspired by images culled from the City of Vancouver Archives, as he assembles a contemporary photographic survey of the community residing along Vancouver's longest thoroughfare.
The works in CAPTURED 2015 were culled from an online open call submission process.

Billionaire ex-KGB spy Alexander Lebedev has just hired George Osborne to edit London's Evening Standard newspaper.
George Osborne has been announced as the new editor of the Evening Standard. The former Chancellor will succeed Sarah Sands and take up his role in early May. Mr Osborne said: "This is such an exciting and challenging job and I'm thrilled to take it on. The Evening Standard is a great paper, testimony to the hard work of Sarah Sands and the impressive team, and to the investment of its owners. I look forward to working with, learning from and leading this team of dedicated professionals.
The move has triggered concerns about media bias and conflicts of interest.
This from HSBC Fraud whistleblower Nicholas Wilson.
Every single day there is another jaw dropping corrupt appointment. And nothing happens.
— Mr Ethical (@nw_nicholas) March 17, 2017
In Praise of Sound Money
Here is Osborne praising the Conservative Chancellor Phillip Hammond straight after last week's disastrous budget.
Well done Phil. Sound money and fiscal responsibility are the only secure foundations of a fair and strong economy.
— George Osborne (@George_Osborne) March 8, 2017
Will there be calls for Tory U-Turns in Osborne's Standard?
Conflicts of interest
Only last week the Evening Standard itself printed a story on Osborne's conflicts of interest.

Adam Curtis's short 2009 film, Oh Dear, points to parallels between Russian and British propaganda — particularly to George Osborne's rôle. (after 3 minutes 12 seconds)
KGB Banking Oligarch
Lebedev himself made his money from banking in the late 90's after having been a London based Soviet spy.
BBC Bias
Here is the BBC's very own ex-Lebedev man, Amol Rajan, being interviewed by its ex-Murdoch Sunday Times editor Andrew Neil:

The establishment routinely ignores questions about media ownership and media bias in this country.
But even by British standards this is an unprecedented political appointment.
City AM
The City Of London's daily financial free paper City AM's editor Christian May was given the job without ever having worked at a newspaper.
Though I disagree with many of his views Christian May edits well:
Personally I'm all in favour of unorthodox editorial appointments.

Murdoch's Times has had it in for Russia for a while. It's pushed for sanctions against Russia for its role in the Crimea and Syria.
Alexander Lebedev, the Russian billionaire whose son owns The Independent and Evening Standard, tried to help President Putin to win western approval for the annexation of Crimea, according to Kremlin
Lebedev does seem to be friendly with Putin.
Too much Panama Papers space has been wasted attempting to make links between Russian funny money and Vladimir Putin. I have no drum to bang for the Russian President or anyone else, but from what we've seen so far the supposed links between him and mystery money being filtered out of the country seem rather tenuous. The way the leaks have been sewn together and presented make it look obvious that Putin must be spiriting billions of dollars out of the country. Look closer at the documented evidence and you see the case is actually nowhere near made.
Standard Morale
I wonder what having the Austerity Chancellor in charge of the Standard will do for staff morale.

Reihan's New Blog
Hey guys — my period of travel-induced delinquency at The Agenda has ended. Please come!
Unfortunately for you, I will still write lengthy posts at The American Scene on the meaning of life. I've been feeling pretty excited about life lately. I had an excellent and long trip, and, having returned, I've been listening to a lot of old favorites, particularly David Bowie's Let's Dance. Also, I just discovered that eMusic has an enormous new catalogue of albums; frustratingly, I went ahead and purchased a number of them via other more expensive means, but it's terrific news regardless. Listening this morning to what had been long-lost mid- to late-1990s hip-hop records. There's something about serial consumption: from 4th grade to 10th grade, I visited my favorite comic book store every weekend to stock up. And from then on, I followed record labels, particularly long-deceased Rawkus. Naturally, I'm pretty pleased by the critical claim for The Ecstatic, which is richly deserved.
I think I need a blog that will collate different things that I write. Perhaps I'd call it "reihansalam.com," or "reihansalam.net." But to what end? I guess to keep track of stuff. It sounds like a lot of work honestly. I'd love to just knock off Wilson Miner's really impressive, cleanly-designed personal site. I also love Diana Lind's Index on Diana Lind, though that's a complex semantic concept and she's a little cranky about intellectual property theft. (Whereas I paid my way through gun-fighting school by manufacturing fake Chloe handbags out of kitten hide and my own spittle. That's not true. I'd never hurt a kitten.)
Songs that sound exactly like songs I'd want to make: Mos Def's "Auditorium," which has a neat harmonium-infused beat that smacks of 1950-60s Indian popular music. Quite nice. Also: Prince's "I Would Die 4 You" and Supersystem's "Eagles Fleeing Eyries." My inability to carry a tune is a real source of sadness for me. Another thing: I'd want to make songs with lots of handclaps. When I fantasize about performing for an audience — this doesn't happen daily, but it happens more than weekly — I picture myself making a lot of herky-jerky neck and shoulder movements and engaging in lots of friendly wry banter between songs. Oddly enough, I think I'd prefer being a "Hype Man," complete with an enormous clock. The downside, of course, is that it is hard to take a man wearing a clock or a top hat or a fake mustache or moon boots seriously, let alone all four at once.

Bio-Crude from Municipal Solid Waste?
– by Kristen Hays, January 20, 2016, Reuters
On the heels of last month's Paris agreement to curb carbon emissions, independent refiner Tesoro Corp said it is working with several biofuel companies to run more crude made from renewable plants and waste at its California refineries, the company told Reuters on Tuesday.
Using so-called biocrude from Fulcrum BioEnergy Inc and other partners is intended to lower Tesoro's costs to comply with California's Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS), which requires refineries to run more environmentally friendly produced crude.
Rather than build or overhaul units to produce biofuels, Tesoro can blend biocrude into other crudes that feed existing refineries to generate LCFS credits, C.J. Warner, executive vice president of strategy and business development, said.
Fuels made from the mix would be "indistinguishable" from current output, requiring no changes or upgrades to pipelines, fuel pumps or vehicles, she said.
Tesoro also aims to satisfy federal Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) requirements to produce fuels made from biomass.
Initially, the amount would be 1 percent or less of the combined 546,000 barrels per day of crude Tesoro's Los Angeles and San Francisco refineries can process.
Warner said it will take time for the biocrude suppliers to increase output to a commercial scale. The California Air Resources Board and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency also must grant approvals before suppliers can move forward.
In the meantime, Tesoro can work with the biocrude to ensure its addition to crude mixes have the right chemical makeup to run properly at the refineries.
"It's another reason to get started now. There are a lot of things for us to do before we get this running at significant volumes," Warner said.
It may be a while before consumers can put fuel made in part from biocrude in their gasoline tanks.
Tesoro has a deal with Fulcrum BioEnergy to provide biocrude made from municipal solid waste at its $266 million, 10 million gallons per year Sierra plant under development near Reno, Nevada, expected to start up in 2018, the company said.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture in 2014 awarded Fulcrum a $105 million loan guarantee to build the plant.
Tesoro also is working with Ensyn Corp, which operates a 3 million gallon per-year biomass plant in Ontario.
That plant has been qualified by the EPA to generate cellulosic renewable identification numbers (RINs) under the RFS.
A third partner is Virent Inc, which also works with Royal Dutch Shell Plc.

"Zopa was launched in March 2005, and has approximately 90,000 members. Sixty-three per cent are borrowers and 37 per cent lenders, with about 50 per cent of active lenders having already added to their original lending outlay. Zopa is coy about providing specific lending figures but insists that millions of pounds have been transacted since the launch, involving thousands of lenders and borrowers, and that more than 5,000 new members are being signed up each month." – Pamela Atherton, Telegraph
What's new:
But it seems during this hot summer whilst having a pint of cider or three on a sunny evening, Zopa's executives were hatching a plan to increase the awareness of Zopa. At some pint during the evening one executive mentioned "how uncanny it was that the Zopa logo looked a bit like a crop circle? And surely it shouldn't be too difficult to persuade a friendly farmer to lend them a field, as well as getting a photographer and a local pilot to capture the moment". Strong stuff that cider. ;-)
So some weeks later on a cold, wet muddy field in Cradley near the borders of Wales, with Paddy (the friendly farmer) and the guys from circlemakers.org, the zopa executives began treading out a 200 ft version of their logo in a field of oats. Here's the video they put together, culminating in a shot of the logo from the air. Not bad!? So taken were they by creating the zopa logo that they had a few more cider pints after that decided to create "a bit of a competition".
So if you have seen something that looks like the Zopa logo anywhere? Take a snap of it and send it to Zopa and they'll pull together a gallery of the best responses. I'm not sure what the prize is for the best zopa-a-like logo, hopefully more than a pint of cider and weekend in Cradley with Paddy!
Since starting TechCrunch UK, one trend I have noticed is the development of more and more UK based auction sites such as Viagogo(tickets), AutoQuake(Cars) as well as online housing aggregators. Zoomf, OnOneMap, Nestoria, Extate etc. I wonder how long it will be before there is a housing auction site – if there isn't one already? i.e people list their house up for sale and people bid against others to bid to it.

Marriott's Ko Olina Beach Club is one of the premier timeshare properties in the exclusive Ko Olina Resort area. Phase 4 of this project includes the construction of shell space for the 489,379-square-foot, 14-story Hale Naia building; the build-out of 114 units in the building; and a 367-stall elevated parking structure with 61 stalls of surface parking on a 5.3-acre site.
The main tower was constructed on more than 2,500 existing piles. The client's initial plan was to over-excavate the site so that new drilled piers could be installed, but Nordic PCL suggested that installation of the drilled piers proceed without over-excavation to save cost and time. If an existing structure was discovered, the new pier would then be relocated and grade beams would be adjusted under the approval of the structural engineer. By modifying the method and sequence of the foundation installation, the client saved approximately $300,000.

She checked her lipstick in the rearview mirror. Looking good was part of what she did – what she had to do. She was down to her last few dollars, and that had to make it all the way to New York. She'd have to resort to plan B. She put her blinker on and started to turn into the beat up looking Texaco, but a beat up old dinosaur of a car almost ran her off the road.
"Take a walk, jerk!" she screamed at the rapidly retreating tail-lights.
She pulled the car up to the gas island and took a deep breath to gather herself. She never understood what possessed people to drive like that. She'd driven all the way from the island and was amazed at the behavior of people when they were behind the wheel of a car.
She pumped four dollars of gas into the VW, far more than she had the ability to pay for – but then again, she didn't plan on paying. Not with cash, anyway. She glanced over at the booth. It contained a young man, maybe eighteen and obviously a local. He looked simple. A dirty old man would have been easier, but this wasn't beyond her skill. She tottered over to the window to speak to him
They talked for a few moments – the boy shook his head emphatically at first, but his resistance visibly faded as she leaned over to give him a better view. Eventually his defenses broke down and he escorted her through the employees door and into the back room of the booth.
Fifteen minutes later she was driving down the highway toward the lights of the big city, humming to herself as she reapplied her lipstick.

The Changing Face of SleepSeptember 26, 2013
[Part 2 in a 2 Part Series]
In our previous blog post titled "How We Sleep Has Changed Over The Past 200 Years" we mentioned that two sleeps per night may have been the preferred sleeping pattern of antiquity. However, there still seem to be tendencies towards it that linger in modern man. This suggests that there is a biological preference for two sleeps under the right circumstances...
National Institutes of Mental Health Studies
During the first part of the 1990s, psychiatrist Thomas Wehr of National Institutes of Mental Health was asked to conduct a study on photoperiodicity (also known as the exposure to light), and how it affects sleep patterns. In this study, fifteen men spent four weeks with their daylight artificially restricted. The results were rather startling!
At first the participants slept for long stretches of time, most likely because they needed to make up their "sleep debt" that's common among modern man. Once they had caught up on their sleep however, a strange thing started to happen - They started to have 2 sleeps!
Over a twelve hour period, the participants all started sleeping for about four or five hours, then they would wake for several hours, followed by another sleep until morning. Altogether however, they never slept not more than eight hours total.
The middle hours of the night, between two sleeps, was also found to be a strangely serene time for all of the participants and was characterized by unusual calmness and an almost meditative state.
Should We Revive Two Sleeps?
Although history shows that the idea of two sleeps was common up to about 200 years ago, and even though science indicates that it is under certain conditions a completely natural way of sleeping, there is no proof that it is better. Enjoying two sleeps a night may leave you feeling more rested, but it is thought that this has more to do with the increased time that is needed to relax over the 2 sleep period. If we gave the modern 1 (eight hour) sleep the same amount of relaxing time as well, it would still be just as effective as the split sleep pattern.
As a side note! The two sleeps a night pattern needs a lot of darkness, darkness that is only possible during the winter months of Europe and America. This means that the greater levels of daylight during summer (and those found in South Africa throughout the year) would make the two sleeping pattern difficult to maintain and in some cases even impossible.

Caffeinated Bees Get Great Grades on Memory Tests, Study Finds
Bees that consumed caffeine showed a sense of memory three times greater than bees that had no caffeine. The finding, from a new British study, could help the bee population recover from declines — and it may also explain some things about caffeinated people.
THURSDAY, March 7, 2013 — The next time you swat away a honeybee, you might want to consider its diet. If it has been filling up on the nectar of coffee and citrus flowers, you could be in trouble at some point in the future.
Honeybees buzzing on caffeine are far more likely to remember scents — and that could be your scent — than bees without an extra flap in their wings, according to a study from Newcastle University in the United Kingdom.
The study, published in Science, compared the memories of bees on a diet of only sugar versus those on a diet of caffeine-laden nectar from flowers of coffee and citrus plants, such as grapefruit, lemon, pomelo, and orange trees. The honeybees were trained using classical conditioning, and were given rewards for properly recognizing the scents of certain flowers.
The results: Three times as many bees were able to remember a flower's scent after 24 hours on a diet of caffeine than on the sugar diet. Even after three days, the caffeinated bees were still twice as likely to remember a floral scent.
Study leader Geraldine Wright, MD, thinks this finding may help researchers understand how people perceive caffeine and use it in certain situations.
"This work helps us understand the basic mechanisms of how caffeine affects our brains," Dr. Wright said in a press release. "What we see in bees could explain why people prefer to drink coffee when studying." (There may be a good reason for chugging energy drinks all day after all.)
Researchers also hope the study can help keep the honeybee population come back strong after a steep decline.
"Understanding how bees choose to forage and return to some flowers over others will help inform how landscapes could be better managed," explained the study's co-author, Prof. Phil Stevenson, in a press release. "Understanding a honeybee's habits and preferences could help find ways to reinvigorate the species to protect our farming industry and countryside."
If honeybees become endangered or extinct, there could be a risk to biodiversity and crop production. Honeybees are essential to the pollination of plants, a critical step in crop production.

The traditional way of learning has started to go through some major reforms. This is happening both in the field of education and in enterprises. Instead of traditional course based learning where users are memorizing ready-given information, today more emphasis is put on finding, understanding and applying information in practice in real world scenarios.
Video Link: https://vimeo.com/98316381
Phenomenon-based learning
The education system in Finland is said to be one of the best in the world. Yet, last week, e.g. Huffington Post (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/03/28/finland-education-overhaul_n_6958786.html) and Independent (http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/finland-schools-subjects-are-out-and-topics-are-in-as-country-reforms-its-education-system-10123911.html) wrote about the upcoming educational changes in Finland. Then what is it that has resulted in this transition? The changes are related to a phenomenon-based learning, which as a topic has raised a lot of global discussion recently.
The ideology of phenomenon-based learning is to bring learning and teaching closer to practice, rather than focusing on single, disconnected subjects that do not relate to everyday life, or to each other, at all. In the phenomenon-based learning the learners are taught broader topics instead of subjects. The topics can be related to any real life events, which may help the learner in applying the novel know-how better in modern society.
Phenomenon-based learning in online education and learning
Arcusys is at the forefront of applying the phenomenon-based learning in online education. Valamis offers a platform for phenomenon-based learning in online learning and implements it into a modular and flexible environment using Experience API (xAPI) and Learning Record Store (LRS). In Valamis, the learners approach learning in a form of a story, which is related to real life working scenarios. While going through the story, the learners themselves do not necessarily recognize which subject each topic of the story is covering. They can e.g. cover subjects such as physics, mathematics and finance within a form of a story about buying a car.
In Valamis the learners are not given any particular order for approaching the phenomenon-based learning story. In stead, the learners can proceed in the story depending on which order they find the most interesting for themselves. Always when the learners finish a task, they receive an automated evaluation as well as an evaluation from their teacher. Also, the learners are given a chance for self-evaluation. All the data is saved into a Learning Record Store and the final feedback is formed on the basis of all the recorded data.
Measuring impact of phenomenon-based learning
Receiving constructive feedback is a crucial part of learning and development process. Without feedback it is impossible to process and evaluate what has been learned. At the moment, one of the major issues with the phenomenon-based learning is the difficulty of receiving trustworthy analytics of the learning processes. Valamis offers powerful Learning Analytics engine for phenomenon-based learning using the Valamis Learning Record Store. The analytics engine provides a special advantage, e.g. when evaluating which sections of the studies should be improved or in which areas particularly the learners need more guidance.
Experience API allows tracking the atomic learner experiences and interactions into Learning Record Store. Phenomenon-based learning model creates a structure and solid foundation for this information. The Experience API gives organizations powerful tools for analyzing impact of learning and organization capabilities. By combining xAPI with Valamis, it is possible to receive accurate analytics of the phenomenon-based learning process of individuals as well as of the group of learners. The analytics are in a form of an exquisite concept map, which enables the visual analysis of the learning challenges. The received analytics imply clearly which parts of the study content needs to be improved for future learners.

To ensure trouble-free use of your trailer we hope you will find the following information useful.
Please let us know if you have any comments, experiences
or any information we could add to this page to help others.
On the drawbar, all DAXARA & ERDE trailers are equipped with a 50mm ball coupling with safety catch, which prevents the trailer becoming detached.
COUPLING AND UNCOUPLING OF TRAILER, lift the handle attaching the coupling to the towball at the same time as compressing the locking trigger on the handle and lift from the towball or place over the towball. It is possible to install an anti theft device that locks the coupling and provides added security. This is a recommended optional extra, please see the accessories available for your model of trailer (For details click your make of trailer - Erde or Daxara.)
The towing vehicle should be fitted with a towing bracket of a recognised standard. Preferably these should comply with the relevant British and international standards (UL standards AU113 and 114 and international standards ISO1103 and 3553). European standard for the towball is 50mm diameter.
For additional security a safety chain is fitted as standard. This should be secured to the towing bracket at all times when towing, so that in the event of the trailer uncoupling the trailer will still be attached to the towing vehicle. (UK Reg. 1995).
- Very Important -
All loads should be evenly spread inside the trailer. For your own safety it is important that the trailer is not over loaded, the suspension units and tyres are designed to carry the trailers' maximum gross weight which is marked on the identification plate on the trailer.
It is an offence to load the trailer to more than its marked gross weight
|350x8 wheel
|2.5 bar/36 psi

|145x13 wheel
|2.5 bar/36 psi
If heavily loaded or for long trips, it is necessary to increase tyre pressures by 0.50 bar (7psi).
Option: a spare wheel and fitting kit is available and is highly recommended for safety and convenience. (For details click your make of trailer Erde & Daxara

Unladen weight: This is the weight of the trailer without payload. This can vary from catalogue weight due to accessory options and should always be checked on a certified weighbridge.
Payload: This is the weight of the load that the trailer is permitted to carry and is the GROSS TRAILER WEIGHT minus the UNLADEN WEIGHT. If there is any doubt, us a weighbridge.
Trainweight: This is the Gross TOWING VEHICLE weight plus the Gross TRAILER WEIGHT
Kerbside Weight: The kerb weight of the towing vehicle is the weight of that vehicle including all fluids with a full tank of fuel and carrying all spares and tools which the vehicle is usually supplied but without driver, passenger or luggage.
Wheeltrack: The horizontal distance between the centre lines of the wheel tyre treads.
Nose Load/Hitch Load Stability: A trailer must always be towed in a stable condition. To achieve this, the trailer must exert a downwards load on the towball of the towing vehicle. This will vary from trailer to trailer and should be obtained from the supplier. It is likely to be 50 to 75 kg. This is measured with a spring balance or scales supporting the full weight of the hitch at the towing point and as the towing height. Care must be taken when loading the trailer not to change the nose load. Maximum allowable nose load is given by the (towing) vehicle manufacturer.
Maximum permissible length: The normal maximum permissible length of a trailer is 7 metres excluding the drawbar and coupling.
Maximum permissible width: 2.55 metres.Note: In the case of length, width and height, these are overall dimensions including linchpins, hinges, etc., it is possible to increase these dimensions in special circumstances

Stewart One of the questions I receive on a regular basis is: what sorts of companies can be ESOP-owned? That is a very nuanced question, but in terms of industry, the answer is almost any kind. However, on a state by state basis, some professional service firms may only be owned by an owner (or owners) who are also licensed to be a professional in that state. The most common examples are lawyers and doctors (which generally means that neither law firms nor physician practices may be ESOP-owned, in most states). But CPA firms are often a different story. That is, in many states, CPA firms can be partially owned by an ESOP trust. Continue reading

The Game:
A close to show-themed game, the characters will be students at a school, receive minimal funds, struggle to survive even before Angels show up.
Rules are pretty standard. Expect brutal combat, spend, burn and earn fate points like champs, etc.
- Test plugsuits are all that's available. If you don't want one, be prepared to pilot naked. It's entirely doable.
- Turned in character sheets determine order of numbered child and Evangelion. You can ask for it to be changed, and stuff like prototype trait may also add to this, but eh, flavour.
- A few other things mentioned in the chatroom. Nothing special.
NERV-01, AKA NERV Boston has acted as the research powerhouse of NERV, for as long as it has existed, without incident. Being the main cause in the cities extensive restoration and maintenance since Second Impact back into the city it once was. However all this changed, when the city was suddenly assaulted by a strange creature that came to be called an Angel. In a costly and extremely destructive fight, the being was finally removed by use of multiple N2 mines, almost reducing the city to a state worse then Second Impact. Since then however, it has undergone another reconstruction and is still continuing this process. With reason to believe more were coming, NERV mobilized its forces and pilots that have been in training, deployed in different parts of the world or are extraordinary candidates have been called in to serve as the front line for the city.
At the time of pilots being placed on active duty, the city is undergoing various stages of reconstruction. Parts of the city are in need of overhaul, but its once again heavily populated. Many buildings are still however unoccupied, however its theorized that these can used to an advantage, providing supportive structures for the Evangelion units.
Base Of Operations:
NERV-01, Boston. Under the management of UN Military veteran and now Commander Jack Colburn, the base is still undergoing re-purposing towards becoming a defensive structure. Like any NERV, it could hold off an entire army with little trouble, but an Angel is a very different matter. It is however, still very much a centre of research and hard at work to figure out how to improve the quality of it Evangelion units, as well as how to defeat the Angels. Dr. Kabal leading many of these projects with the usage of the bases advanced MAGI computer system.
Due to its origins as a research centre, the Base of Operations has a surplus of 20 which must be spent on research and must be spent before game start or it is lost
Current Surplus: 12 normal
Ongoing Research:
Completed Research: Recessive buildings update to Boston, Tier 2 Scientific Advancement
Recent Money sinks: 1 surplus to repair Helen's Progressive Knife, 2 to facilitate upgrades
Summery of recent events:
Finally detecting an angel in flight, the pilots intercepted it, only to find it more then prepared. With limited resources and without all their members, the Angel's superior range and devastating physical ability nearly Pulling victory only barely from the jaws of defeat.
Base Of Operations known Resources:
- One Pallet Gun, Progressive Knife, and Wing Loadout (Knife dock) upgrade for each Evangelion.
- The Magi Supercomputer system.
- One Prototype and one Test-Type of C, D and E Type Equipment.
- One Evangelion Carrier Plane for each Evangelion.
- One Mobile Support Structure and Support Drop for each Evangelion.
- Three Launch Ports, six Umbilical Ports, four Support Caches and one Embarkation Point for the Base of Operations.
- Two wings of standard VTOL aircraft and one Bumblebee VTOL.

Online perpetrators are not taking holiday vacations this year
This holiday season, as gifts are purchased online and in stores across the world, unfortunately some see this as an opportunity to steal your online banking credentials. So while you shouldn't be scared to buy Grandma that scarf she's been wanting, you do need to be weary about a new spear phishing campaign.
The FBI Denver Cyber Squad released information on the new campaign that involves personal and business bank accounts, financial institutions, money mules and jewelry stores:
"The campaign involves a variant of the 'Zeus' malware called 'Gameover.' The spam campaign is pretending to be legitimate emails from the National Automated Clearing House Association (NACHA), advising the user there was problem with the ACH transaction at their bank and it was not processed. Once they click on the link they are infected with the Zeus or Gameover malware, which is able to key log as well as steal their online banking credentials, defeating several forms of two factor authentication."
Okay, so how do you stay away from this trick and others like it?
Well, here are three simple tips to remember this holiday season to be sure you do not take the bait:
1. Be weary of emails from senders that you have never seen before. Even if the subject line is tempting with an urgent call to action, look at the source and be cautious of the sender.
2. Understand your bank's policy on communication, and call your bank if a message seems urgent to confirm the email's validity.
3. If you think you are sure the link is okay to use, still copy and paste it in a search engine to see if it is linked to a valid site. If someone has reported it as spam, it may appear at the top of the organic search, and you will know that it is a good possibility to be fraudulent.

The most effective way to keep your users safe is to provide annual Security Awareness Training to help them identify and avoid threats. Check out our Security Awareness Training course to get started.

On Monday, we reported that the Pink Star, a 59.60-carat oval mixed-cut Fancy Vivid Pink internally flawless diamond, would be auctioned by Sotheby's this week and likely set a record price for a gem sale. Well it was, and it has! On April 4, a new auction record was reached when the Pink Star went for HK$553 million / US$71.2 million. The previous auction record for any diamond or gemstone was held by the Oppenheimer Blue, sold by Christie's Geneva in May 2016 for US$57.5 million. The previous auction record for any Fancy Vivid Pink Diamond was The Unique Pink, a 15.38-carat Pear-Shaped Fancy Vivid Pink Diamond sold at Sotheby's Geneva in May 2016 for US$31,561,200.
And who is the lucky new owner? The gorgeous bauble was purchased by well-known jeweler Chow Tai Fook and was immediately renamed the CTF Pink in memory of the late Dr. Cheng Yu-Tung, father of the current chairman and founder of Chow Tai Fook, and commemorates the brand's 88th anniversary.
The CTF Pink joins a number of outstanding stones in Chow Tai Fook 's collection, including the Aurora Green, a 5.03-carat vivid green diamond acquired in 2016 for HK$130 million / US$16.8 million, an auction record for a green diamond, and the Cullinan Heritage, an exceptionally rare 507-carat rough diamond acquired for HK$275 million / US$35.3 million in 2010. It was cut and polished over three years to create A Heritage in Bloom, a widely regarded masterpiece of diamond jewelry.
"It is fitting that the owner of the most prestigious jeweler in Greater China should today break the record for the most valuable item ever sold in Asia as well as the most valuable diamond ever sold at auction, now appropriately named the CTF Pink," said Sotheby's President and CEO Tad Smith."And Sotheby's has been honored and thrilled to serve this very discerning client for many years."

What is Uber?
Uber is an on-demand passenger app that allows passengers to summon drivers. In New York City (NYC), Uber has several Black Car and Livery Bases licensed with the Taxi & Limousine Commission (TLC). Drivers with TLC licenses can affiliate their vehicles with one of Uber's many bases and make money as independent contractors picking up pre-arranged rides with passengers. The insurance requirements for Uber in NYC are very different from the rest of the country.
Uber insurance coverage requirements
In New York City, Uber's rideshare insurance policy is not applicable. All Uber vehicles must comply with the TLC's minimum levels of insurance coverage that vary based on license class and seating capacity. For most Uber vehicles, the TLC minimum level of liability insurance coverage will be $100,000 per person, $300,000 per accident, $200,000 in personal injury protection and $10,000 in property damage liability.
Save time, save money by using INSHUR.

|Review: Angel Corpse - The Inexorable
|The Inexorable
Label: Osmose Productions
Year released: 1999
Duration: 38:52
Tracks: 8
Genre: Death Metal
Rating: 4/5
Review online: May 11, 2003
Reviewed by: Sargon the Terrible
for:The Inexorable
Rated 3.33/5 (66.67%) (30 Votes)
OK, everybody repeat after me: ANGEL CORPSE RULES!!! "Inexorable" was the third and final full-length from this criminally overlooked band, and was by far their best recording.
Now, a lot of people will say that Angel Corpse were just a Morbid Angel ripoff, only less technical and with bargain-basement production. I can't really argue with that, because it is essentially true. But after listening to this CD you are brought to the inescapable conclusion that even if that is true, this still rules. Yes, they sound a lot like Morbid Angel. No, the production is not what you would call 'good'. But even so I love this stuff. Angel Corpse, for all their faults, retain a snarling viciousness that Azagthoth and Co. long ago traded in for a country club membership. Compared to their major influence, Angel Corpse sound hungry and pissed off.
"Stormgods Unbound", "Wolflust", "Begotten (Through Blood and Fire)"- tracks like this stomp and crush all over other death bands that may play fast and furious and technical as hell, but have forgotten that death metal is supposed to make you want to kill people. Halfway through this CD you start looking around for an ax and someone to decapitate with it. The sub-par production only adds to the underground feel and encourages you to play this loud. This kicks every square inch of Soilwork's ass, no problem.
Angel Corpse never had much success, and are no more. But they left us a handful of murderous releases, of which this is easily the best. If you love your death metal old-school, and if you can find it, "The Inexorable" will get your rocks off big time. Play it loud enough for them to hear it in Hell.

The Board of Directors of the Georgia Ports Authority today elected James L. Allgood as chairman.
The annual volume of vehicles currently built in Mexico is approximately 3.2 million. With planned expansions of manufacturing facilities, production levels will increase to over 5 million vehicles per year by 2018. This expansion will mean a growing need for both rail and short-sea transit to reach the U.S. markets.
To accommodate this growth, the government of Mexico and private companies are set to improve road and rail systems to the ports of Veracruz, Tuxpan, Altimira and Tampico. Mexico's transport and communications ministry is developing 25 port projects across Mexico, constituting an investment of more than $4.1 billion.

For the next two decades a warming of about 0.2°C per decade is projected for a range of SRES emissions scenarios. Even if the concentrations of all GHGs and aerosols had been kept constant at year 2000 levels, a further warming of about 0.1°C per decade would be expected. Afterwards, temperature projections increasingly depend on specific emissions scenarios (Figure 3.2). {WGI 10.3, 10.7; WGIII 3.2}
Since the IPCC's first report in 1990, assessed projections have suggested global averaged temperature increases between about 0.15 and 0.3°C per decade from 1990 to 2005. This can now be compared with observed values of about 0.2°C per decade, strengthening confidence in near-term projections. {WGI 1.2, 3.2}
