For a chronological index of my path to the CFA, click here.
Just a quick suggestion today to do yourself a favor and go through your calculator manual to really learn all of its financial functions before you get too far into the CFA study guides.
After breezing through Ethics & GIPS, I made the mistake of starting on the problems in the Time Value of Money (TVM) chapter in Volume 1 without doing so.
This turned out to be a big time-waster because the 12C has all sorts of short-cut functions that save you from having to write down formulas on scratch paper, manipulate with algebra to solve for your variable of interest, and then plug-and-chug with the calculator.
One thing I really wasted time on was not knowing about the BEG and END buttons.
These are useful if you're making annuity computations but in some cases payments start at the beginning (BEG) of each period and in other cases at the end (END).
I learned enough to know that the 12C could do it one way, but thought it was the only way.
So when payments happened the other way around, I had to do little tricks like leave off one of the payments & then add it back at the end to get the right answer.
Painful and easy to mess up…
Once I discovered BEG / END I went back and re-worked the TVM problems at lightning speed (well, maybe not lightning, but much faster).
This left me wondering if, for speed on the CFA exam, it's even worth knowing how to derive & manipulate all the different TVM formulae when the 12C just gives you the answers much faster?
The CFA study guide doesn't always present complete derivations of formulae anyway. In the section on ordinary annuities, they start off with one equation:
and then they say that it "simplifies to" a second shorter equation:
with no mention of how they got there (multiply both sides by (1 – r) as shown here).
In addition to working through your calculator manual, if you're using the 12C I'd highly recommend TVMCalcs.com's HP 12C Tutorial.
I haven't worked through the entire thing yet, but here are two helpful bits I came across:
1. Perpetuities: The 12C can't really do a perpetuity, in the sense that you can't enter infinity for the payment period (n). But you can do perpetuity calculations by using the same functions used for annuities, with n set to a large number. See TVMCalcs.com's Example 2.6.
2. Solving for n: Perhaps answering my earlier question about how much knowledge of formulae is required, I found a case where the 12C actually gives the wrong answer. Briefly, if you enter a present value, desired future value, and interest rate and tell the 12C to solve for n, the 12C always returns an integer. See TVMCalcs.com's Example 1.2. If you're using a 12C, be sure you know about this.
I don't know yet whether I'm relying too much on the old 12C – it seems like it's doing most of the heavy lifting. But the practice problems at the end of the section will give insight into whether this is how it's supposed to be.

Former New York State Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver was sentenced today to 12 years in federal prison for corruption charges.
Silver was found guilty on all charges in Nov. 2015 after prosecutors proved he took millions of dollars worth of bribes from real-estate and medical interests.
Silver's 12-year sentence falls short of the 14-year sentence handed to former Assemblyman William Boyland.

In 2014 the inaugural Invictus Games which took part in London stood as a highlight in the year's sporting calendar as an international, multi-sport adaptive event that embraced the respect for our Armed Forces and the strong desire to show the nation's support for those who have sacrificed so much in service.
The Games were launched by Prince Harry, who having seen a British team competing at the US Warrior Games held in Colorado in 2013, wished to bring the concept of a similar international sporting event to the UK. With the backing of Mayor of London Boris Johnson, the London Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games and the Ministry of Defence, the event was put together over ten months.
The Endeavour Fund was a key stakeholder in the early stages of Invictus Games, providing the initial seed capital required and working in partnership with the Ministry of Defence to get the project off the ground. We were immensely proud to be involved in this exciting project from the very start and pleased to help provide opportunities to so many people to focus and catalyse their recovery through sport.
The Invictus Games provided an opportunity to invite our friends from other countries to participate, with whom we have fought side by side in recent conflicts. The UK was joined by twelve other countries from around the world, whose 430 representatives competed in nine different events across five days of sport and ceremony held in iconic venues across London, utilising the amazing facilities left behind in the legacy of the 2012 Olympic Games.
"Competitive sport has made all the difference to my personal recovery and rehabilitation. For a whole international community of injured 'brothers in arms' who flat out refuse to let themselves be beaten by their injuries, the Invictus Games offers a memorable, inspiring and energising experience in their journey of recovery…" UK TEAM CAPTAIN DAVID HENSON
"As I sit on my parent's veranda deep in the Spanish countryside I find myself reminiscing about my involvement with the Invictus Games in 2014. From day one the atmosphere surrounding the entire event was incredible and the crowds deafening. The long lasting legacy of the Invictus Games will be the reinforcement of the message that no matter how wounded, injured or sick we are in life, we can still change and enrich our lives through sport. As we know, the Invictus Games is not all about winning, it is the taking part which is important. Personally I want to thank all those involved behind the scenes – the volunteers, the sponsors, The BBC for televising The Games and above all the competitors for having the courage to come forward and compete and to have a go at realising their full potential. Bring on 2016!"
Jon Le Galloudec, 2014 UK Armed Forces team member
We are delighted to have continued the association with the second edition of the games which took part at the ESPN Wide World of Sports at Walt Disney World, near Orlando, Florida, and to have contributed towards the UK Invictus teams which joined the 2016 games.
We will continue to champion this incredible example of how our wounded, injured and sick can take part in high level competative and international sport and will be proud to be involved again with the 2017 Toronto Invictus Games.

Urban fantasy is a sub-genre of fantasy. For a novel to be an urban fantasy, fantastical elements exist in an urban setting. However, this can be a broad interpretation. Really, an urban fantasy is such where fantastical elements are in play in a real-world setting and not in a fantastical world. Urban fantasies occur in the present day, and can go back in history to around the start of the Victorian Era. When urban fantasies are written for teens, the protagonist or protagonists are often inexperienced when it comes to dealing with the fantastical forces at play. They are also usually drawn into a struggle, find romance, and/or develop their own fantastical abilities.
Authors to Know
- Holly Black
- Kelley Armstrong
- Rachel Caine
- Rick Riordan
- Cassandra Clare
- Alyson Noël
- Cynthia Leitich Smith
- L.J. Smith
- Lili St. Crow
- Maggie Stiefvater
Main characters are often drawn into a struggle with fantastical creatures or elements. In these conflicts the protagonists often find new friends on either side (human or creature), and they usually find love (again, with either human or creature). Protagonists may also either develop powers of their own or hold a secret key or power that can resolve the conflict. A common theme of urban fantasies is that the main character is "the one" or "the chosen." Another common theme is that the main character is a halfling (half human, half fantastical creature) or has a bloodline that has been mixed with that of a fantastical creature. This allows them special abilities and/or gives them the key to the conflict resolution. Additionally, the fantastical creatures that are present in urban fantasies are often in our world but are disguised or can't be seen in their true form unless a human has special abilities.
Urban fantasies allow for fantastical elements to exist in our world. A teen could put themselves in the place of the protagonist and have an easier time relating to the character than in other novels set in a completely fantastical world. The idea that the protagonist is usually different or even not entirely human appeals to teens as they search to define who they are. Action and adventure, and oftentimes romance, are usually guaranteed in urban fantasies.
A wide range, depending on the themes of the book.
Urban fantasy found its footing with teens when fairies and vampires were all the rage about five years ago. Most recently, angels have been the most popular creatures in urban fantasies. An interesting trend to watch is that of myths coming into play in urban fantasies. Greek myths have been popular in the past, but some authors are currently using other cultural myths and settings them in our world in the present day (Maggie Stiefvater's The Raven Boys, for example).

Will Office 2010 Change Word 2007 Documents?
If you have older Word 2007 documents, you don't have to worry about Word 2010 changing them, because it can't while it's in Word 2007 Compatibility mode. This special mode ensures that people who use Word 2007 can still view Word 2007 documents even though you use Word 2010 to edit them.
Word 2007 Compatibility Mode
You don't have to turn Word 2010's Compatibility mode on to use it because the program does that automatically when you open a document that someone created using an older version of Word. Compatibility Mode protects older documents by preventing Word 2010 from making advanced features available as you edit your document. This mode also ensures that Word maintains an older document's original layout. You will know when Compatibility Mode is on when you see "Compatibility Mode" in the program's title bar. If you don't see that, you're working in regular Word 2010 mode.
Identifying Compatibility Mode
Word 2010 has two Compatibility Modes: one for Word 2007 and another for Word 97-2003. You can't tell which mode it's using by looking at the title bar. If you're not sure which type of document you've opened, you can click "File" followed by "Info," and click "Check for Issues" in the Prepare for Sharing" section. When you click "Check Compatibility" and then click "Select Versions to Show," Word displays a check mark next the mode it's using for the current document.
Converting to Word 2010
If you'd like to use Word 2010's advanced features to edit a Word 2007 document, convert the document to the Word 2010 mode. It might be wise to save a copy of the document before doing that because Word will change the document's layout so that it looks like you created it using Word 2010. Do that by clicking "File," clicking "Save As" and typing a new name in the "File Name" text box. Click "Word Document" in the "Save As Type" drop-down list and then click "Save" to create a copy of your Word 2007 document.
Word 2010 Mode
Convert a document from Word 2007 to 2010 by clicking "File," clicking "Info" and then clicking "Convert." You'll gain the ability to use the new numbering formats, add text effects to your document, use new content controls and enjoy other new features that only exist in Word 2010. You'll also be able to block authors to keep them from changing certain sections in a document. Before converting, remember that people who use Word 2007 may have problems viewing a Word 2007 document if you convert it to Word 2010 mode.

Miss Victory (later known as Ms. Victory) is an American comic book superheroine who first appeared in Captain Fearless #1 (Aug. 1941), published by Frank Z. Temerson's Helnit Publishing Co.,[1] a publisher that was soon taken over by Holyoke Publishing.[2] Ceasing to be published after 1946, she was revived and updated in 1984 as a central character in the Femforce comic-book series published by A.C. Comics.
Publication history
Introduced during the period fans and historians term the Golden Age of Comic Books, the original Miss Victory was created in Captain Fearless #1 (Aug. 1941) by an unknown writer and by artist Charles Quinlan in an untitled, five-page story generally indexed with its opening words, "Introducing Miss Victory".[1] She went on to appear in the second and final issue of Captain Fearless. Contrary to some sources, she did not appear in Helnit's first issue of Captain Aero,[3] but after Holyoke took over the series her second story was reprinted in vol. 1 #12 (#6 on cover)[4] and in new stories beginning with the following issue, vol 2 #1 (#7 on cover).[5]
Given no formal origin story, it was left unexplained as to how Miss Victory was able to survive explosions, break free of ropes, or knock down walls. But is clear that in her introduction she had superhuman strength and durability.[6]
She remained as star of a backup feature in the sporadically published Captain Aero Comics as the title returned to Temerson's control in 1943[7] and on through that title's final issue, #26 (Aug. 1946).[8] In 1984, she was revived by writer Bill Black and penciler Mark Heike in AC Comics' Femforce Special #1 (Fall 1984).[9]
Fictional character biography
Miss Victory was secretly stenographer Joan Wayne, whose work in a Government department, coupled with her desire to help the war effort, led her to don the patriotic guise of Miss Victory: a tight-fitting, red-white-and-blue costume with a plunging neckline and a V emblem across her chest.[6]
The 1984-revival version also possesses superhuman strength, as well as the ability to fly over short distances. Her true identity is Dr. Joan Wayne, a research scientist in the United States Department of Defense, who in the 1940s developed the "V-47 formula" to increase the strength/stamina of allied troops. The formula, however, only worked on Joan herself, and she became a superheroine. The formula also prevented her from aging, so that the Ms. Victory of today is still a young, attractive woman.[10]
Ms. Victory received an overdose of the related but faulty V-45 formula from the Black Commando which affected her personality, transforming her into the villainous Rad. Eventually, the V-45 formula was removed from her system and she returned to Femforce.[11] In the mid 1990s, Wayne temporarily resigned her leadership of Femforce, and was replaced by her grown daughter Jennifer, the only other person on whom the V-47 formula would work. Jennifer was referred to as the second Ms. Victory. After Joan returned to the Ms. Victory role, Jennifer eventually took V-45 and became the second Rad. Jennifer (as Rad) is not really a villain, but more of an anti-hero.[12] In addition to her daughter, Ms. Victory's family consists of boyfriend, fellow hero Captain Paragon and a cloned son of the couple created by an enemy.

Global Inulinase Market: Overview
Inulin is a poly fructan that is obtained naturally. Inulin is used widely for the high fructose syrup production which requires microbial or chemical procedures. When inulin is converted into fructose and FOS this conversion is accelerated by the microbial inulinases. Inulinase is used as an alternative to sweeteners which are safe to consume as compared to sucrose. There are numerous new producers of inulinase who have acquired encoding of the genes of inulinases from various microorganisms. Inulinase is widely prevalent in microorganisms and plants.
Global Inulinase Market: Segmentation
The market for inulinase is globally fragmented into product types and application. On the basis of product types, the global market is segregated into plant inulinase and microbial inulinase. Based on the applications, the market is bifurcated into inula-oligosaccharides production, high fructose syrup, and bioethanol production.
Global Inulinase Market: Growth Factors
In the recent years, there has been an increase in the demand for healthier foods and foods that have low-content of calories. This has forced the manufacturers of the several food industries to develop and use alternative sweeteners that are safe for consumption. The product that has been used as functional sweeteners is fructooligosaccharides which is very much same as other microbial oligosaccharides. The production of inulo-oligosaccharides includes endo inulinases from inulin and the components that contain inulin. The inulinase production is effected by the organism type and that is used for the fermentation process and by the medium components. The other factor that aids in the inulinase market growth is the developments that are made in the technology. The most significant application of inulinase is that it is used in the production of syrup of fructose. Increasing awareness among the consumers about health is increasing the requirement of fructose.
Global Inulinase Market: Regional Analysis
Geographical segmentation of the global inulinase market is diversified into North America, Latin America, Eastern Europe, Western Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Middle East and Africa. The regions that dominate the inulinase market are Western Europe and North America. Both these regions are expected to hold the largest share in the inulinase market worldwide. The key factor that attributed to this market growth in the North America and Europe is the increasing health problems which arise due to hectic lifestyles, especially in the developed regions. Asia Pacific region projects to account for highest market growth rate in the coming years. Factors that are contributing to this growth are the increasing preferences of utilizing low-calorie substitutes which are naturally derived such as from fructose. Inulinase can be extracted from several sources. There is an increasing demand for fructose syrup by several vendors in the market, mainly in India and China.

I started asking myself questions about Linux the other day. I began to think about what Linux lacked that Windows had (trying to get into the head of a die hard Windows fan and persuade them to think Linux). Certainly it isn't appearance. Windows is actually behind Linux in this area. Certainly it isn't detectability. Linux is also ahead of Windows in this area. Driver support? Yes…big gap…but one that we as Linux programmers, developers, and users are all well aware of and one that cannot be improved drammatically unless manufacturers get behind Linux. So what is left? Wizards. Wizards? That's right. Wizards. No, not the D&D spellcasting folk…put your twenty sided die away. I'm speaking of the nice trail of menu's that greet you to set up a function in your operating system.

Experiment: Interview with Texstar of PCLinuxOS
Those of you who followed our experiment here at Yet Another Linux Blog followed my wife's path as she test drove distros for their out of the box abilities. Those of you who stayed positive throughout this process also understood why some of the more popular distros did not rate well…simply because they do not have much done for you out of the box. The reason we chose rating out of the box is because most new users wont be able to install hardare and software easily without reading some documentation and those new users might become immediately frightened of the aspect of finding answers to 'how to do this'. By having stuff done a user can gain confidence at the early and critical times of using a distro and then build on top of that. Therefore, we set out to find the best distro that came suited for a user like my wife. If you followed along, you also know that PCLinuxOS was rated the top distro. As promised, today we'll chat with Texstar, the creator of PCLinuxOS.
Devnet: Please tell us a bit about how you got your start in Linux/Computers/Open Source…
Texstar: My first successful Linux install was Red Hat. I later found Mandrake which was nothing more than Red Hat with KDE at the time. I moved to Linux after watching Microsoft abuse their monopoly on the desktop. I formally provided unofficial 3rd party rpm updates to Mandrake users between releases until that function was taken over by Mandrakeclub.
Devnet: What type of person do you see yourself as?
Texstar: I'm kind of quiet, laid back, humerous and easy going person. I don't take life too seriously. I look for the good in people. I enjoy chatting with fellow Linux users on our IRC channel (efnet #PCLinuxOS). What a great bunch of people…except for that Lewis guy. Just kidding Lewis! We love you, we really do 😀
Devnet: Why did you start PCLinuxOS?
Texstar: To provide an outlet for my crazy desire to package source code without having to deal with egos, arrogance and politics. I love to package. It is like a puzzle where all the pieces have to fit together or the code doesn't work.
That is my favorite part of doing PCLOS. The other reason is I wanted something that worked out of the box, looked fabulous and didn't require a technical degree from college to get it working.
Devnet: How did you come up with the name?
Texstar: It is Linux for your Personal Computer. I wanted something generic that people could easily relate to and the name matches our website.

mv elitism /dev/null
In the beginning of things, open source was about open everything. I remember joining an irc channel # on efnet back in 1993 and chatting with people who could make things happen with computers…really make things happen. Coders, managers, hackers…they were all there and a tight nit core of about 6 of us stayed in touch for about 7 years until we went our separate ways and began to use irc less and less. The thing that I remember the most is the fact that when I joined their little group, I was a complete and total n00b. Not just a n00b to Open Source…but to computers altogether. I had a Texas Instruments computer back in 1985 but only messed with that for about a year. Mice were new to me…I didn't know ANYTHING at all. In the short time that I began chatting on irc, I was shown how to do things. When I didn't know how to do something, I could count on one of the guys or girls in the channel helping me to solve my problem within a matter of minutes. These people stepped down off of their level of operation long enough to educate me in the ways of the open source.
I look fondly back at this time and have spoken about it before…not because I don't think something like this exists now…just that I think it is a rarity. There was a time when this "spirit of open source" was all about educating and furthering the program/app that you were working on. Now it seems that when a new user comes in to any channel on irc or forum, they are told off with a hearty RTFM (Read the 'Friendly' Manual).
Where did this Elitism come from? Where and when did Linux and open source become about the mentality "you must be this knowledgeable to ride?" It pains me to see people do this to new users…distancing themselves from potential advocates of open source…zealous ones at that. It's a real testament to some of these new users STILL wanting to plug open source and Linux, despite being squashed by elitists in forums.


text: MT concept reappears in a big single Second wave "MT" series proposes a "Roadster- Motard " European model 2006 Yamaha Sports "MT-03" Sept. 29, 2005 Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd. (YMC) exhibits the 2006 "MT-03," a new model that proposes a "Roadster Motard" machine mounting a liquid-cooled, 4-stroke SOHC, single-cylinder 4-valve, 660cc engine with fuel injection, at the "Paris Show" (Mondial du Deux Roues 2005) from October 1. This new model, which goes on sale in Europe in late 2005, is manufactured at Yamaha's Italian production base, Yamaha Motor Italia. The keyword in the development of the "MT-03" was the same as that of the V-twin model "MT-01" that debuted on the European market in 2004, Kodo, the Japanese word for "heartbeat." The engine of the "MT-03" delivers excellent response and a wide torque range that in combination with its new design realizes a sharp, exciting riding experience. 2006 Yamaha Sports "MT-03" model Name: Yamaha Sports "MT-03" Release date: After October 2005 (Date to vary with the different European distributors) Coloring: White Metal, U-tech Blue, Midnight Black Projected sales: 6,000 units (EU markets for 2006) Market background and product summary Calls from customers expecting new models with an "adult taste" have been heard in the European market, where annual sales of sports models stands at around 250,000 units. That call gave birth to the "MT-01" that debuted on the European market in 2005 with the development concept of a "Soul Beat V-twin Sports." It signaled the creation of a new field known as the "MT world," gaining new customers who appreciated the "ultimate taste" it delivered with its remarkable feeling of pulse and torque coming from its 1,670cc engine. Besides the enjoyment of the deep feeling of torque that only a machine with huge displacement could deliver, it also gained a zealous backing from enthusiasts for its feeling of agile yet bold performance. This "MT-03" enables the rider to experience the moving "Kodo" feel of the MT world concept, harmonized with agile handling made possible by thoroughly concentrating its mass to create this exciting "Roadster Motard" machine. Main characteristics Engine 1) Liquid-cooled single-cylinder 660cc engine accentuates sense of pulse The engine is based on the acclaimed XT660R/X liquid-cooled, 4-stroke SOHC, single-cylinder 4-valve, 660cc fuel injection engine that has had its torque characteristics optimized. With its extremely short stroke, bore x stroke 100 mm x 84 mm, and compact combustion chamber, it delivers maximum torque at 5,250 rpm and maximum power output at 6,000 rpm. To accommodate the big bore, each gear around the crank, main and drive shafts has been designed for optimal strength and size to ensure reliable performance. One characteristic of the design is the elimination of the kick axis to realize a compact crankcase that contributes to concentration of mass. 2) Optimized fuel injection calibration and large-capacity air cleaner A new 5.9 liter large-capacity air cleaner box has been adopted to bring out the wide-range torque characteristics. Fitted on the right side of the machine, it realizes excellent intake efficiency and, at the same time, is one element that establishes the design presence of the machine. Furthermore, fuel injection calibration has been optimized to bring out excellent torque characteristics in the low- to mid-speed range. 3) Aluminum oil tank contributes to mass concentration A newly designed aluminum oil tank has been adopted to provide excellent oil cooling performance and mass concentration. It also contributes to optimization of the machine's front/rear weight distribution. 4) Mono-chamber up-slanted muffler adopted In order to bring out a truly pulsating exhaust sound and good exhaust performance, an up-slanted mono-chamber muffler with dual-style pipe construction is adopted. The rear end is given a distinctive and attractive look. A honeycomb catalyst is adopted inside the muffler; in combination with the fuel injection, it realizes environmental performance that clears European emission regulations (EU2) by a comfortable margin. Chassis 1) Newly designed diamond frame adopted A newly developed diamond frame has been adopted to realize a strong visual presence for the body as well as agile handling. The combined effect of optimized dimensions such as a wheelbase of 1,420 mm, a trail of 97 mm, caster at 26 degrees, and front-wheel weight distribution at 52% provide superb handling. 2) 43mm inner tube front fork and side-mounted rear cushion unit The front suspension adopts 43mm inner tubes for a full 130 mm of wheel travel to ensure both sharp handling and an extremely comfortable ride. On the other hand, the rear cushion unit is mounted almost horizontally on the right side close to the engine, improving on efficient use of the space around the linkage and at the same time, furthering the concentration of machine mass. The combined effect with the one-piece cast rear arm delivers superb suspension performance, while being one more point that emphasizes the distinctive body styling. 3) Other characteristics Other features adopted include: (1) newly designed 5-spoke, 17-inch wheels; (2) 298mm double-disk, two-caliper front brake and 245mm disk rear brake; (3) compact headlight placed near the front fork, concentrating mass forward while providing a unique look; (4) 15-liter plastic resin fuel tank and (5) wide-type handlebars. 2006 Yamaha Sports "MT-03" model main specifications Overall length x width x height 2,070mm x 860mm x 1,115mm Seat height 805mm Wheelbase 1,420mm Dry weight 174.5kg Engine type Liquid-cooled, 4-stroke, SOHC, 4-valve Cylinder arrangement Single cylinder Displacement 660cc Bore x Stroke 100.0mm x 84.0mm Compression ratio 10.0 : 1 Maximum power 33.4kW (45PS) / 6,000rpm Maximum torque 56.2N•m (5.73kgf•m) / 5,250rpm Starting system Electric Fuel tank capacity 15liters Fuel supply system ECU fuel injection Tire size (Front / Rear) 120/70-17 / 160/60-17

Skyqraft, a Swedish startup using AI and drones for electricity power-line inspection, has picked up $505,000 in early backing.
Leading the round is "startup generator" and investor Antler, with participation from a number of angels, including Claes Ekström and Tomas Kåberger.
Founded in March 2019 and launched that September, Skyqraft provides what it calls "smart" infrastructure inspections for power-lines. It uses unmanned airplanes, combined with AI, to gather images and detect risk automatically.
This is in contrast to the status quo, where power-lines are typically inspected by teams of people and helicopters, which isn't ideal on a number of fronts.
"Power-line inspections most importantly are not environmentally friendly, very costly and unsafe with the use of helicopters and people," Skyqraft co-founder and CMO Sakina Turabali tells TechCrunch. "We provide smart infrastructure inspections using unmanned airplanes by gathering images and 360 videos and feeding that data into a machine learning system that automatically detects any risk to the power-lines."
Skyqraft says it has already achieved several key milestones, including having a contract in place with one customer that has stopped using helicopters for yearly inspections. The company is also working on pilots with Eon, two Swedish municipalities and New York Gas and Electric.
"Our competitors are mainly quadcopter drone operators," said Turabali. "And they inspect only the transmission grids. We on the other hand, offer our customers a full service and inspect both transmission and distribution grids also using our machine learning system to detect any threats automatically.
"Some of our competitors also only provide machine learning software and do not fly with drones and inspect the grid. They usually get their data set from partners' flying drones. In a machine learning (ML) world, successful ML is 85% data handling and 15% software work. We use a uniform aircraft camera setup that can gather data in a swift and cost-efficient manner. That means we will do the data handling in a streamlined manner from the beginning and have total control of the data acquisition platform, i.e. the aircraft plus cameras."
Meanwhile, Skyqraft says it will use the new funding for building further machine learning software, and expanding the map user interface for its customers. It will also continue to build out its drone operation teams, and test new apparatus.
In a statement, Lisa Enckell, partner of Antler, adds: "Skyqraft has developed a new solution on an unsolved problem. Their focus on emerging data collection methods gives them the opportunity to make an industry safer, more efficient and more sustainable. We're delighted to be part of this journey."

Remarks as prepared for delivery.
Thank you David and again, I want to thank the Tulalip Indian Community and its leadership for allowing us the opportunity to visit and tour the tribal facilities. We appreciate your hospitality in welcoming us here.
As David mentioned, we were both very personally involved in Indian Country initiatives during our work in the administration almost a decade ago. And I have to say – and I was reminded of this during our tour today – that while my jobs at the Department have had wide-ranging responsibilities throughout the years, very little has been as meaningful as my work in Indian Country. My work with tribal leaders on the CIRCLE project at Northern Cheyenne, Oglala Sioux and Zuni Pueblo – a model intended to provide a more comprehensive approach to improving public safety in Indian Country – was in fact one of the most personally fulfilling parts of my career.
And yet we look at Indian Country today, and I share your frustrations that the issues of poverty, violent crime and a lack of resources look very much the same as they did a decade ago. We must do better. When I reflect on the work we have begun here in Seattle with tribal experts and leaders, and look forward to our next session in Albuquerque next month, I feel confident that we are on the right track to really get things done and put together substantive proposals and initiatives that can lead not only to better strategies for law enforcement and detention – which are of course important – but also for the treatment and prevention programs that make communities better. Our goal is to both listen – as we must because the federal government has a sovereign-to-sovereign relationship with tribal nations – but also to come out of the series of meetings the Department is doing with tribal leaders with a plan of action. Tribal leaders have told us that listening is important, but action to address the systemic problems facing tribal nations is critical.
The Obama Administration and the Department of Justice are committed to improving public safety in Indian Country, especially in the area of domestic violence and sexual assault. We know that domestic violence and sexual assault are issues of enormous importance to tribal communities because of their impact on women in the community, as well as their children and families. That's why I am so proud to announce that, in addition to the COPS awards announced for Washington reservations and the additional grants for equipment and resources through the resource grants, the Department's Office on Violence Against Women – or OVW – is awarding $2.1 million in funding to tribal nations in the state of Washington to reduce violent crimes against Indian women and help keep them safe..
Of this, the Tulalip reservation has received an award of $899,999. The Tulalip Tribes will use the grant funds to improve services that are available to help women who are victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and stalking on the reservation. It will have an immediate impact on the quality of services offered to survivors and their children by providing advocacy and support services for those who need to be kept safe in emergency situations, and for victims who choose to leave their abusive relationships.
Today's announcement is just the latest which demonstrates the administration's commitment to improving the lives of Americans, and particularly Native American communities through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, or Recovery Act. In the Recovery Act, the Obama administration focused on how to stimulate the economy and help communities that are suffering financially, and made sure there were funds for Indian Country, which has tremendous needs. In fact, the law provided $20.8 million for OVW's Indian Tribal Governments Program to decrease the number of violent crimes committed against Indian women, to help tribes use their independent authority to respond to crimes of violence against Indian women, and to make sure that people who commit violent crimes against Indian women are held responsible for their actions. Much of the discussion about the Recovery Act focuses on job creation and programs like OVW's will certainly help hire counselors and others who are desperately needed, but today's announcement also highlights how the funding from the Recovery Act is helping communities become safer. Safer communities and healthy families are a building block for the nation and our economic recovery.
As the Department prepares to honor the 15th anniversary of the Violence Against Women Act and the creation of an Office on Violence Against Women, I realize that there is much work to be done here. All of us here know what violence against women has done to your communities. And even though I am impressed that OVW has distributed nearly $62 million to assist tribal communities and more than $86 million to grant projects reaching more than half of the Nation's 562 Indian Tribes, I also know that money alone is not going to solve problems.
I believe that fighting violence against women in Indian communities must be a partnership between the federal government and tribal governments. That's why I am pleased that we have placed such an emphasis on the issue in our work leading up to the Listening Conference. However, none of these resources will matter if we do not direct them properly and at the issues that matter. The Department may be able to provide funding, but only by working together can we make sure you are getting what you need, so that the women and children in this community can get what they need.
Our trip to Seattle is only the beginning. And in fact, the Listening Conference is only a preliminary step in what I know will be a long partnership with tribal communities. It will provide the foundation from which to take action. And taking action on criminal justice issues is exactly what the Department of Justice intends to do.
I join David in giving you my personal commitment to work to ensure that – drawing on the insights, guidance, and partnership of tribal leaders – we all make a meaningful difference together. I'm looking forward to working with you, once again.

I am so glad I dont have to deal with fires any more. They never seemed to work for me, and must have sensed my utter disgust, at having to feed them, clean them, and try to master them. Inefficient way to heat, and greedy to keep.
Oh for some blissful alone time...

I would like to have more non-life-threatening illnesses too, but the trouble is, they make me feel soooo bad.
Actually, do men ever get illnesses that *aren't* life-threatening?

Yes, one can see the appeal for those Victorian ladies who were perpetual invalids suffering attacks of the vapours and reclining on chaises longues... and it let them off sex and potential death in childbed too I suppose.
Hope you're feeling a bit better now!

|Me, reading poolside. Photo cred: Libby Allnatt
Let's talk books! I've been trying to read a book a week this summer. It hasn't exactly worked out but I've given my bookmark a workout this summer and here's what I've been digging in to:
I Regret Nothing by Jen Lancaster
Hilarious, perfect, but I expect nothing less from my literary/real life hero. It's a quick, fun read. Throw it in your pool bag.
Sparkly Green Earrings by Melanie Shankle
Melanie Shankle, also known as Big Mama is a gem. She's funny, real, and heartfelt. This book is about motherhood and while I am not a mother myself, I found it sweet and charming. I read this a few years ago on a plane and decided to pick it up again this summer when I could absorb it a little more. Glad I did.
Nobody's Cuter Than You by Melanie Shankle
Another Big Mama book, this memoir was a delight. It's a celebration of female friends and will make you laugh, cry, and send texts of inside jokes to your right hand ladies.
All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr
I am currently reading this now and almost finished. While a beach read it is not, this sweeping WWII story is beautiful and written in gorgeous language. I can't wait to find out what happens. Please tell me it has a happy ending, actually don't....not finished yet!
The Dinner by Herman Koch
This is a book I never would have picked up on my own, but hubby came home with it from Barnes and Noble, read it in a week (and for AJ, that's HUGE) and raved about it. It was....interesting. I need people to read this book so we can discuss it. This is one that needs to be talked about. Eeerie, clever, and takes place during the course of one hella awkward meal. Short and quick read but it'll have you thinking about it for days.
The Good News Is by Dana Perino
If you watch Fox News, you know Dana Perino from their afternoon talk show "The Five." If you don't watch Fox News, I understand. It's a little shout-y, and flashy, and makes me want to stockpile food and ammo because according to all their outrageous pundits the country is swirling.into.oblivion. Ahem, anyway, Dana is an amazing woman who worked for the Bush Administration as the chief of staff. She's graceful, classy, and you wouldn't want to mess with her. A great gift for a grad as it features wonderful advice for young women.
Killing Monica by Candance Bushnell
This was an impulse Costco buy (tortilla chips, Kcups, toilet paper, and reads, obvi). This book was a delicious summer treat. Funny but also slightly dark it follows the story of an author and her friendship with the movie version of the character she created. HUGE twist at the end that had me reading the same paragraph 4 times going "what?!" Perfect summer read.
There are 3 other books I read this summer (because I am keeping track of the number), but since I cannot for the life of me recall them, they probably aren't worth reading! What are YOU reading lately? Any good recommends for what to read next?!

We at the Third Judicial District Attorney's Office are troubled by the damage done to innocent parties by those who pass bad checks to local businesses. Merchants lose millions of dollars every year due to offenders who pass bad checks. The dollars needed to fund law enforcement and prosecution efforts to hold these offenders accountable increase every year.
To fight this growing problem, we have organized the Worthless Check Restitution Program to help victims of badchecks recover complete and quick restitution without increasing the financial burden on taxpayers and the criminal justice system.
Through the program, we give bad check offenders the opportunity to avoid criminal prosecution by paying immediate and full restitution and attending a mandatory educational class. We do all this without any additional expense to the taxpayers of Third Judicial District.
I encourage local businesses to participate in this program. The Worthless Check Restitution Program is a proven, effective way to help victims recover their financial losses, hold first time offenders accountable and reduce the negative effects of bad checks at no cost to law abiding citizens of our district.
Working together, we can stop the passing of bad checks in our community.

If the Lord ever asks you a question, don't answer! The teacher never poses a question to build his knowledge, but to enhance yours.
What captivating vignettes: "Son of man, can these bones live?" (Ezek. 37:3). "Is anything too hard for the Lord?" (Gen. 18:14). Ezekiel caught on pretty fast—"O Lord God, you know"—and poor ole Job kept his mouth shut.
I suppose if I were standing in God's presence, I too would quickly learn the protocol.
God isn't trying to make us look silly; instead, he hopes to increase our faith, often because he desires to show us something wondrous. But the rhetorical device, the question, is used to provoke us, to make us think and assess the integrity of what we believe; in this case, about his ability.
I'd like to think I believe God can do anything, but he knows the areas where I'm unsure about it. Yet he doesn't refuse his kindness due to my uncertainty. Instead, he teaches my heart to trust him.
And when he does performs his great wonders, convincing me, I am then able to persuade others: "Trust him. He can do anything!"

Field Day Review 2015
Field Day Review is an annually published academic journal.
Published by Field Day Publishing, the Journal is a venture set up by Seamus Deane and Brian Friel amongst others. In 2015 they changed model slightly, adopting a digital only route, with copies available directly from the publishers, and via Apple.
The format eventually decided upon was an interactive pdf, which allows for embeds of videos, sounds, links (both external and internal to the document). The proportions and grid created closely echo the previous print document but are translated to reflect an ipad, which research revealed with the audience's favoured device. Software used was Adobe's Creative Cloud suite, with beautiful fonts supplied by Rosetta via Fonstand and exljbris via Typekit.
Extra care was needed in taking a previously print-only publication and retaining its intangible qualities - an integrity and sense of authority.

The Intention(s) of Christ in the Atonement
Christ died for the elect in a way that he did not for the non-elect. It could be argued that there are at least two intentions in Christ's work of the atonement. The first one is for the elect, in whom God has decreed that the atonement is certain and eventual, therefore it is necessary that it will be applied on His people at a time of the Spirit's choosing. The second is for the non-elect, who receive non-redemptive benefits. These may include not immediately receiving (a putting off of) God's just wrath, but the redemptive benefits of the atonement will only be heralded in the divine command but never actualized in the non-elect. This is why the Bible proclaims that we freely hold out the gospel to all unbelievers and tell them that Christ died, not for all men, but for all sinners who would believe (John 3:16). The redemptive benefits are only for believers. All who believe will have the benefits of the atonement applied to them and be justified, but since no one naturally fits this description, the only persons who come to Christ are those who are God's elect, regenerated by the Holy Spirit unto faith. This means that we are wholly dependent on the work of Christ for our redemption, which includes our ability to have faith in the Redeemer. Since we do not have the power in ourselves to do anything apart from the work of God's Son on the cross, He also gives, as one of its benefits, the Holy Spirit for our conversion (1 Pet 1:3). God "has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ" (Eph. 1:3). Our redemption in Christ is the wellspring out of which flows regeneration, faith, repentance, justification and sanctification. So although the atonement may have more than one intent, its central purpose is for the redemption of elect (Titus 2:14). In other words, Christ died in a way for the elect that he did not for the non-elect.
Those who say they believe the doctrines of grace, but not particular redemption, carve out the Person, heart and source of grace in these doctrines. For without the particularly of the death of Jesus Christ, all of the other doctrines of grace become mere impersonal abstractions. Jesus Christ must be at their center or not at all. What do I mean by this? For example, if one claims the the atonement is not particular, but that irresistible grace is, then where does the grace come from which makes irresistible grace particular? From Christ or from some generic grace apart from Christ? If from Christ, then you already affirm particular redemption and the impersonal abstraction of four-point calvinism is overthrown. If not from Christ, do you then believe there are redemptive benefits to be had apart from Christ? It is impossible, in other words, to believe in irresistible grace without acknowledging that all spiritual/redemptive blessings (including irresistible grace) flow from one source: Christ.
To show that this doctrine has biblical authority have a look at the following: The Jewish high priest in the Old Testament prayed for the Israelites on the Day of Atonement. He approached the Lord wearing the names of the twelve tribes when bringing the sacrifice. Likewise, before His death on the cross, Jesus also prays a "high priestly prayer" for His people in John 17. Notice that in verse 9, Jesus (as high priest) prays an exclusive prayer for certain people and not others: 'I ask on their behalf; I do not ask on behalf of the world, but of those whom You have given Me; for they are Yours." Then soon after in verse 19 when praying for the same persons the Father has "given" Jesus, He prays: "For their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth." So Jesus only sanctifies Himself for those the Father has given him, meaning these are the very ones He dies redemptively for. In short, Jesus prays for the same persons He dies redemptively for. Only those God has elected in Christ from eternity are given the grace of regeneration that they might believe. And this regeneration is among the redemptive benefits of Christ given to the elect alone - for he purchased with his blood people OUT OF every tribe, nation, tongue and people (Rev 5:9).
John Hendryx
Our soteriology would certainly have gaping holes in it if we held to universal redemption. Excellent points.
As to Christ dying in "some way" for the non-elect, I'm not sure about this. Certainly there is a universal grace that grants all people life for a time, temporary comforts, etc., but is Christ's death necessarily tied to that?
May I nitpick? I think the following statement does not sufficiently disprove the combination of particular irresistible grace and non-particular atonement:
"if one claims the the atonment is not particular, but that irresistible grace is, then where does the grace come from which makes irresistible grace particular? From Christ or from some generic grace apart from Christ? If from Christ then you already affirm particular redemption and the impersonal abstraction of four-point calvinism is overthrown. If not from Christ, do you then believe there are redemptive benefits to be had apart from Christ? It is impossible, in other words, to believe in irresistible grace without acknowledging that all spiritual/redemptive blessings (including irresistible grace) flow from one source: Christ."
So to take it one statement at a time:
"...where does the grace come from which makes irresistible grace particular? From Christ or from some generic grace apart from Christ?" The choices offered here are not the only possibilities to consider. I think the view of most 4-point Calvinists is that, while atonement is "offered" to all, the additional, necessary grace (but not additional mercy or payment) is from the Father and Spirit drawing the person to Himself, that they might believe and be saved... or something to that effect (correct me if I'm wrong).
"If from Christ then you already affirm particular redemption" unless it is _also_ (not instead) from the Father and the Holy Spirit that one is finally saved, right? All Three cooperate in one's salvation.
Maybe someone can correct me?
Enough nitpicking from me. The second paragraph does sufficiently prove limited atonement, imo.
Are you saying that it might be possible to support an argument in which the Trinity does not work in harmony with one another in the work of redemption? That The Father elects a particular people, but the Son dies for a general people and the Holy Spirit again draws a particular people?
It asserts the in the Biblical text that all Spiritual/redemptive blessings find their origin in Christ. (Eph 1:3, 4). There is nothing, that is, no benefit we have that does not derive from Christ so a four-pointer would be hard pressed to argue that any redemptive grace can be had apart from Christ. Irresistible grace is part of the work of the atonement ... not some generic grace from the Father apart from Christ.
@John H
No, I was just nit-picking a seemingly assumptuous argument. Granted, I agree with what the argument was for, but disagree with the quoted section's logic because it (appears to) assume fewer "options" than exist.
Well the uncomfortable option certainly exists for the four-point Calvinist to make the claim that the benefits of the doctrines of grace (such as irresisible grace) can be had apart from the work of Jesus Christ, but, thankfully this seems to be an option none of them are willing to take. In other words, because they will not go this far, most 4-pointers are simply inconsistent Calvinists since they actually believe in limited atonement without knowing it. As soon as someone says they affirm irresistible grace, it means they already believe in Limited Atonement since they are actually the same thing looked at from a different angle.... effectual grace being a part of the work of Christ.
Fact is, I have yet to meet one four-pointer willing to take up this challenge. All of them have, so far, had to acknowledge that irresistible grace is a redemptive benefit and must come from Christ. The point of this line of argument is to drive them to the realization that this is the precarious position they must take if they continue to reject particular redemption... the precarious position being that they can find saving grace outside of Jesus Christ.
I do not believe that a regenerate Christian would dare affirm that they have any redemptive benefits that are separate from the work of Christ. Too close to a denial of the faith altogether.
Ah, good points, especially on irresistible grace implying limited atonement. I think I understand what you're saying.
I don't suggest that four-pointers would "make the claim that the benefits of the doctrines of grace (such as irresisible grace) can be had _apart_ from the work of Jesus Christ" (emphasis mine). Instead, I understand the four-pointer stance to be that the benefits can be had with the drawing of the Father and Spirit _plus_ (not instead of) the work of Christ. That is the alternative not mentioned in the original quote.
The drawing of the Father and the Spirit plus the work of Christ (as you say) being needed in irresistible grace is actually the traditional Calvinist position, where the Trinity works in harmony. I am not saying the four-pointers do not also affirm this, I am rather saying that they are inconsistent on this matter whenever they reject limited atonement.
For you cannot believe irresistible grace and simultaneously reject limited atonement --- An impossible supposition. Because if you affirm irresistible grace, since it is a redemptive grace given only to the elect, then you must affirm limited atonement, for the work of Christ MUST be the source of this grace. The reason the Father and the Spirit draw is because of the work of Christ. No redemption without it, including the redemptive blessing of irresistible grace.
It is a given that all four-pointers affirm irresistible grace. So my point is to show then by this that they actually affirm limited atonement without knowing it, for Christ's atonement is absolutely necessary for irresistible grace to exist to begin with. Therefore Christ died in a redemptive way for the elect (to purchase irresistible grace), that he did not for the non-elect.
Hope this clarifies.
Crystal clear! Thanks for putting up with me.

Vivendi is Latest YouTube Challenger? Maybe Not.
The latest bandwagon jumper is apparently Vivendi, with reports today that the media company plans to take on YouTube and MySpace.
The AP, via French journal Les Echos, says that Vivendi will launch a site this fall to to sell music, videos, TV shows and mobile phone content. The focus will be on mobile, it seems, with a launch in France, followed by a rollout across Europe. The company's new unit Vivendi Mobile Entertainment is responsible for the launch. Comparisons are being made Vivendi's Vizzavi portal, which bombed five years ago.
Whether the YouTube comparison is fair remains to be seen: it may simply be a spin applied by Les Echos, and reprinted by the AP and others. It seems "rivaling YouTube and MySpace" is now press speak for "building a content portal".

The Niagara Peninsula is a world-famous wine growing region encompassing 125 wineries that produce a wide range of high-quality wine varieties including Pinot Noir, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Riesling, Icewine, Pinot Gris, Sauvignon Blanc, and more. This now-thriving wine region was first established in the 1950s and saw rapid growth beginning in the 1970s, continuing into today.
The region has an ideal grape-growing climate that is directly influenced and affected by Lake Ontario and the Niagara Escarpment, featuring both warm and cool temperatures that are optimal for growing flavourful grapes. The Niagara Region also has the distinction of being one of the few regions in the world able to produce Ice wine, which is a sweet dessert wine produced in winter from grapes that have been frozen while still on the vine.
The Sheraton on the Falls will help connect you with some of the region's best winery experiences with its Ultimate Winery Experience Package, which takes the trouble out of planning the perfect winery tour weekend. The package includes one night hotel accommodation at the Sheraton on the Falls hotel, winery tour and tastings for two at four amazing wineries including transportation, three Fallsview dining gift cards, and credit at the beautiful Christienne Fallsview Spa.
Another easy and convenient way to experience the Niagara Wine Region is with Magnificent Tours' Niagara Wine Tour. This 5-hour tour will take you to tastings at Jackson Triggs Winery, Reif Estate Winery, Inniskillin Wines, and a tour and tasting at Konzelmann Estate Winery. You won't have to worry about transportation and can be picked up at the Sheraton on the Falls hotel, making your entire Niagara Falls experience relaxing and stress-free.
Spring is a wonderful time to experience Niagara's wine region and if you're planning a visit during this upcoming season, don't forget to also check out the Niagara Food & Wine Expo at the Scotiabank Convention Centre from April 21st-23rd, where you can taste both local and international wine and beer alongside delicious culinary delights from some of the region's top chefs.
