There is a great scene in Finding Nemo where Nemo’s dad, Marlin, and his newly found friend, Dory, have been swallowed by a whale and are holding on for their lives.
Dory: “It’s time to let go! Everything is going to be alright”
Marlin: “How do you know? How you know something bad isn’t gonna to happen?”
Dory: “I don’t!”
For me, this scene sums up Acceptance and Commitment Therapy or ACT. It’s about opening up and accepting fearful or painful thoughts and feelings while taking action towards our values, which in Marlin’s case was love for his son Nemo. In ACT, this is referred to as ‘Psychological Flexibility’.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, said “act”, is an evidence based therapy which teaches clients ways to handle painful thoughts and feelings and take action with full awareness of what is important. One of the core processes taught in ACT is called ‘defusion’.
Our thoughts can often get in the way of living the life we want to live. Thoughts can be like bullies – pushing us around, telling us what to do. ‘Defusion’ means separating from our thoughts, and seeing them as just that – thoughts. In ACT, we teach clients ways to look at, rather than from their thoughts. We ask clients to look at what their mind is telling them. For clients with depression, their mind may say things like “I’m worthless” and “what is the point”. There are a number of exercises psychologists use to help teach the process of defusion.
A simple defusion exercise (Harris, 2009):
I invite you to think of a thought that may bully you around, and say that thought in the form of “I am X”. For example, “I’m a bad mum”
Now, in front of that thought say “I notice I’m having the thought that…” For example, “I notice I’m having the thought that I’m a bad mum”
What did you notice when you did this?
Painful or unwanted thoughts are part of being human. It is important to emphasize that the aim of defusion is not to get rid of these thoughts, but to hold them lightly so they have less hold over us, and we can be present and engaged with our world.
I recommend checking out www.actmindfully.com for more on ACT and defusion, or the CD ‘Mindfulness Skill Volume 1’ which can be ordered from the site

It is almost impossible to find out any solid statistics about the Internet. The reason is that our global net is becoming incomprehensibly bigger every second. The statistics that were made a year ago, or just a month ago, are no longer valid. So, I will stick to the facts that are not likely to be changed ever.
But before that, let´s see what the Internet really is. People often think the Internet and World Wide Web (WWW) are the same thing. They are not. World Wide Web is a system of interlinked hypertext documents that people are accessing using the Internet. The Internet is a system of interconnected computer networks. So, in plain terms, the Internet is the hardware and World Wide Web is the software.
Let´s see how they started.
The internet began in 1960´s at MIT. It is much sooner than anyone would say, because it took some time for the creators to make it usable worldwide. The first word ever transmitted over the Internet was LOG. It is not a kind of a code but a failed attempt to write LOGIN. The newly created network wasn´t able to withstand the greater amount of data after writing the letter ‘G’. The result was the crash of the network and leaving only half of the intended word online.
After some fine-tuning, creators managed to put together the first web page. It´s URL was and still is http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/TheProject.html . The page was dedicated to the first “WorldWideWeb” project containing a lot of information about it. At that time, it was the only page on the Internet. The original page is lost, but the recreated content is still available at the same link.
You know how today, most people (statistics say 50%, but as I already mentioned, they can´t be trusted) use the Internet for sharing files using torrent or some similar streaming media? Well, the authorities had a similar problem in the late 1980´s when one web site was actually forced to shut down.
Search engines made our lives on the Internet much easier. Although Google wasn´t the first it is certainly the best when it comes to finding the data on the Internet. But Google had some initial problems too. Did you ever wonder why Google looks the way it does; Why it only has a field to enter the keywords and a search button? It is left from the times when founders of Google didn´t know much about HTML or design, but only concentrated on finding the information.
Today, according to Google, there are more than five million terabytes of information on the Internet. For those of you who don´t know, one terabyte is 1024 gigabytes, and one million has six zeros. Do the math on your own.
All that data contains many pictures and about 80 per cent of them are of naked women. Pornography also takes one third of all Internet searches.
Ok, I know I said that the statistics can´t be trusted, but I found it quite interesting. You can decide whether you think they are still valid.
There are 18 countries that still don´t have access to the Internet.
70% of Americans use the Internet and on the other hand only 3% of Africans us it.
There is only 17 per cent of world population on the Internet. One third of them come from Asia.
North Korea´s internet statistics are confidential.
As any technology, the Internet has come a long way since that one web page. Today, we use it to watch videos, play games, post pictures and much more. It is only a matter of time when the things we can do now on the Internet will be considered obsolete and there will be some other article laughing about it.


What is it?
A muscle strain is a stretch or tear of muscle fibers. In the leg, muscle strains happen when a muscle is either stretched beyond its limits or forced into extreme contraction. Because the leg has many different muscles, it is vulnerable to several different types of muscle strains. Some of the more common ones are:
- Calf muscle strain (gastrocnemius strain). The calf muscle typically gets strained when the foot suddenly bends upward, stretching the calf muscle beyond its limits. At the time of injury, you may hear or feel a pop inside your calf -- the sound of the muscle tearing or shearing away from the Achilles tendon. Calf muscle strains are common in athletes, especially tennis players and joggers. However, they also can happen during a simple stroll, if your foot flexes upward when you step into a hole in the sidewalk or if your heel slips off the edge of a curb.
- Plantaris strain. The plantaris is a thin muscle that begins at the lower end of the femur (the large bone of the upper leg), stretches across the knee joint and attaches to the back of the heel along with the Achilles tendon. Because the plantaris doesn't contribute much force in bending the knee, a tear in this muscle may not seriously affect your knee function. However, a severe plantaris strain can cause significant pain, usually at the back of your calf rather than near the knee. A plantaris strain can occur alone or accompany a gastrocnemius strain or a tear of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), a major, stabilizing ligament in the knee.
- Hamstring strain (pulled hamstring). Hamstrings are long muscles that extend down the back of the thigh. Because hamstrings work to pull back the leg and bend the knee, they can be injured during running, kicking or jumping. You may feel a pop, usually at the back of the thigh, when the muscle tears.
- Quadriceps strain. The quadriceps is a large group of muscles in the front of the thigh that straighten out the knee, the opposite action from the hamstrings. Quadriceps strain is a common injury in runners. However, it also may occur during a strenuous leg press at the gym. The pain of a quadriceps strain is felt in the front of the thigh. The strain may be described as a groin pull if the tear is fairly high in the muscle.
To help simplify diagnosis and treatment, doctors often classify muscle strains into three different grades, depending on the severity of muscle fiber damage.
- Grade I. Only a few muscle fibers are stretched or torn, so the muscle is mildly tender and painful, but muscle strength is normal.
- Grade II. A greater number of muscle fibers are torn, so there is more severe muscle pain and tenderness, together with mild swelling, noticeable loss of strength and sometimes bruising (called ecchymosis).
- Grade III. The muscle tears all the way through. Either it rips into two separate pieces or the fleshy part of the muscle breaks away from the tendon. Grade III muscle strains are serious injuries that cause complete loss of muscle function, as well as considerable pain, swelling, tenderness and discoloration. A Grade III strain also causes a break in the normal outline of the muscle, often producing an obvious dent or gap under the skin where the ripped pieces of muscle have come apart.
Symptoms of a strained leg muscle can include:
- muscle pain and tenderness, especially after an activity that stretches or violently contracts the muscle (pain usually increases when you move the muscle, but it is relieved by rest)
- local muscle swelling, black and blue discoloration, or both
- either a decrease in muscle strength or (in a Grade III strain) a complete loss of muscle function
- difficulty walking
- a pop in the muscle at the time of injury
- a gap, dent, or other defect in the normal outline of the muscle (Grade III strain).
Your doctor will want to know what activity triggered your leg pain and whether there was a pop in the muscle when you injured it. The doctor also will ask about your symptoms, especially any decreased muscle strength or difficulty walking.
To confirm a diagnosis, the doctor will examine you. If the results of your exam point to Grade I or II muscle strain, you probably will not need any additional testing. However, if the diagnosis is in doubt, X-rays or a magnetic resonance imaging scan may be necessary. Also, in calf muscle injuries, Doppler studies may be done to check for a blood clot.
Most Grade I or Grade II strains begin to feel better within a few days. In most cases, symptoms are either totally gone, or very much improved, within 8 to 10 weeks. Symptoms of a Grade III strain may last until the torn muscle is repaired surgically.
To help prevent muscle strains in your legs, you can
- warm up before you participate in high-risk sports
- follow an exercise program aimed at stretching and strengthening your leg muscles
- increase the intensity of your training program gradually. Never push yourself too hard, too soon.
If you have a Grade I or Grade II strain, your doctor will probably recommend that you follow the RICE rule:
- Rest the injured muscle (take a temporary break from sports activities).
- Ice the injured area to reduce swelling.
- Compress the muscle with an elastic bandage.
- Elevate the injured leg.
In addition, you can take a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, and other brand names) or naproxen (Aleve, Naprosyn, and others), to ease pain and relieve swelling. As pain gradually subsides, your doctor may recommend a rehabilitation program to restore the normal range of motion in your leg and to gradually strengthen the injured muscle.
If you have a Grade II strain, you may need to be evaluated by a specialist, such as an orthopedist. To allow the injured muscle to heal, you may need to wear a brace or cast for a number of weeks.
If you have a Grade III strain in your leg, the torn muscle may need to be repaired surgically by an orthopedic specialist. One exception is a Grade III plantaris strain, which usually is treated without surgery.
When to call a professional
Call your doctor promptly if
- you hear or feel a pop in your leg muscle at the time of injury
- you have severe pain, swelling or discoloration in the injured muscle
- your injured leg is obviously weak compared to your uninjured leg
- you have difficulty walking
- you have milder leg symptoms that do not improve after 48 hours.
The outlook depends on the location and severity of the muscle strain. In general, almost all Grade I strains heal within a few weeks. Grade II strains may take two to three months. After surgery to repair a Grade III strain, most people regain normal leg muscle function after several months of rehabilitation.

A child is not considered to be enrolled if they were absent during the reference period and not expected to return to the preschool program.
An episode is the count of the occurrence of a specific characteristic. For example, a preschool episode refers to a preschool program provided to a child. When one child attends two different preschool programs, the child is attending two episodes of preschool.
Estimated resident population (ERP)
Estimated Resident Population is the official measure of the population of Australia and is based on the concept of usual residence. It refers to all people, regardless of nationality, citizenship or legal status, who usually live in Australia, with the exception of foreign diplomatic personnel and their families. It includes usual residents who are overseas for less than 12 months. It excludes overseas visitors who are in Australia for less than 12 months. Estimates of the Australian resident population by state and territory are generated on a quarterly basis by adding natural increase (the excess of births over deaths), Net Interstate Migration, and Net Overseas Migration occurring during the period to the population at the beginning of each period. Note that population figures included in this publication are preliminary and based on the 2016 Census. For more information, see the Explanatory Notes section of this publication, Australian Demographic Statistics (cat. no. 3101.0) and Regional Population by Age and Sex, Australia (cat. no. 3235.0).
Fees refer to the actual tuition fees charged for the child to attend a preschool program after subsidies have been deducted.
Index of Relative Socio-economic Disadvantage (IRSD)
The Index of Relative Socio-Economic Disadvantage (IRSD) used in this release was developed by the ABS and ranks areas in Australia according to most disadvantaged to least disadvantaged using variables from the 2016 Census of Population and Housing. A low score on this index indicates a high proportion of relatively disadvantaged people in an area. It cannot be concluded that an area with a very high score has a large proportion of relatively advantaged people, as there are no variables in the index to indicate this.
See Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children.
Preschool management type refers to the legal or social entity responsible for managing the delivery of a preschool program. The management type categories include the following:
A preschool program is a structured, play-based learning program, delivered by a degree qualified teacher, aimed at children in the year or two before they commence full-time schooling. This is irrespective of the type of institution that provides it or whether it is government funded and/or privately provided. Preschool programs are often referred to by other terms such as early childhood education, early learning or kindergarten.
A degree qualified early childhood teacher who meets the requirements of the National Quality Framework for Early Childhood Education and Care (the National Quality Framework). The Australian Children’s Education and Care Quality Authority (ACECQA) publishes a list of approved and former approved early childhood teaching qualifications.
Remoteness area (RA)
Remoteness areas divide Australia into broad geographic regions on the basis of their relative access to services. They are based on the Accessibility/Remoteness Index of Australia (ARIA) which measures the remoteness of a point based on the physical road distance to the nearest Urban Centre.
Sector is a classification derived from the Service activity type and Management type characteristics of service providers.
Service activity type
The service activity type is the main type of service available from or provided by a service provider. Service activity types include:
Socio-Economic Indexes for Areas (SEIFA)
SEIFA is a product developed especially for those interested in the assessment of the welfare of Australian communities. SEIFA is a suite of four summary measures that have been created from 2016 Census information. The indexes can be used to explore different aspects of socio-economic conditions by geographic areas. The SEIFA index used in this publication is the Index of Relative Socio-economic Disadvantage (IRSD).
State-specific year before full-time schooling (YBFS)
The state-specific year before full-time schooling (YBFS) population is made up of an age range of children specific to each state based on that state’s preschool and school starting age provisions.
Unit record level data collection
Unit record level data collections contain data for each individual statistical entity in a collection population.

Good Topics for a University Term Paper
There are so many different options out there for topic ideas, and so many topics that have already been done to death. It can be stressful for a student to decide if they’re given a vague limitation on what they can write about. It’s really just the starting point that is the hardest; once you have started writing and your topic is already chosen, it’s easier to keep working because of the momentum you have in the work itself. You just need to get started, even by taking out your notebook and pencil and writing “I don’t know what to write about, I’m just writing so that I’m starting something…” and eventually you’ll get going and it will be a breeze!
If you need some ideas to spark your brain about topics to choose from, the internet is the perfect place to look. After thinking about what already interests you, like if you play an instrument or draw or any other hobby, and you still are stumped for a topic, then read the list below and see if you can’t find one that you want to write about.
- Should animals be kept in zoos?
- Are athletes and actors paid too much?
- Should teachers have to follow a dress code or wear a uniform?
- Is the death penalty moral?
- Is fashion a worthwhile career?
- Should textbooks be replaced with laptops?
- Should money be spent on exploring space?
- What criteria contribute to a “good movie”?
- Is the destruction of earth’s forests inevitable?
- When is it appropriate to start dating?
- Should students in grade school be allowed cell phones?
- Should the age for voting be lowered?
- Should there be taxes on salty snacks and junk foods?
- Is it important to preserve and protect endangered animals?
- What would the world look like without any rules?
It’s a common problem to not know what topic to pick. Most students go through this, and it’s completely normal. That reasoning still doesn’t make it pleasant in the least. Taking the time that you need to get a solid topic idea down is worth it even though it may seem like a waste of time in the moment; it will save you time rewriting or changing your topic later on. Make sure you do decide ahead of time.


Writing Rainbow Research papers is easy and easy to do.
But writing a paper about it can be a bit more challenging.
I’ll share some tips and tricks on how to write Rainbow Research research papers.1.
Find a topic.
The best way to write about a Rainbow research paper is to write it about a topic that you care about and that has been important to you, or at least that interests you.
Rainbow Research is an umbrella term that includes everything related to research, from research into social justice to LGBTQ studies.
You’ll want to look for a topic in which you can think about research, and which has a strong narrative or history to it.
This is especially true of research that focuses on social justice issues.
A good way to do this is to look at social justice research that was done in the past few years.2.
Write about the research you want to talk about.
For example, let’s say that you want your research paper to discuss the research that supports the theory that there are two kinds of people: those who are straight and those who aren’t.
In this case, write about what you want people to take away from the research.
This research is known as the Gay/Straight Adolescent Study (GSA), and the authors have written a book about it.3.
Use words carefully.
If you’re looking to talk to a broader audience about a particular topic, write in a language that will convey the essence of what you’re talking about.
Don’t be afraid to use a word or two that aren’t so popular or familiar to most people, such as “heterosexuality,” “heterosexism,” or “heteronormativity.”4.
To be clear, your research can’t really talk about all kinds of things.
It can’t talk about the causes of the AIDS epidemic, or about homosexuality, or even about whether there is a gay or straight community.
For that matter, there’s not much to talk in Rainbow Research.
Instead, write an abstract and a paper describing what you have done.
If possible, write down your findings, as well.5.
Use the right tools.
Research papers are often very short, and you’ll want a good amount of research paper space available for your research.
If that’s not the case, you’ll need to hire a researcher.
In order to get your research papers to look good, you need to have the right researchers for the job.
You need to use the right research tools to write the research papers that you write.
The right tools are important, as you’ll be using them to analyze and understand your research, too.
In addition, it’s important to use tools that allow you to use your research to reach a wider audience.
For this reason, it helps to be able to publish a journal paper in the scientific literature, and to be willing to accept publication in an academic journal, as long as you can get permission from the journal’s editorial board.6.
Choose the right paper format.
As you’re working on your research topic, you should make sure that your paper is appropriate for your subject matter.
Some research papers will make more sense in a journal article than in a paper that you’re presenting at a conference.
A more general question to ask yourself is: What research paper format is best for this research?
A research paper should be shorter than a short essay, and it should be about the specific research question you’re interested in.
For instance, you might want to write your research article about the relationship between bullying and gay male students in middle school.
You might want it to discuss how to study bullying, or how to prevent bullying in high school.7.
Think outside the box.
When you write your Rainbow Research work, don’t be intimidated by the idea that it might be a good idea to write in the academic literature.
You want to get the most out of your research so that you can have a better chance of reaching people who might be interested in your work.
You can write your paper in a format that you think will be suitable for the specific topic you’re writing about, such that your research will stand out from other research papers and from other social justice papers.
In the end, though, your best chance of success is to make sure you have the tools and skills you need in order to write effective research.8.
Take a look at your peer-reviewed literature.
This includes peer-reviewing studies.
A peer- review study is a review of other people’s work and other researchers’ work in order for them to identify and validate the ideas you’re trying to build.
Peer-review studies are often done by people who have expertise in a particular area of research.
So, if you want a peer-Reviewed paper, you’re going to need to look into the literature in the area of LGBT research.9.
Get in touch with the researchers.
There’s nothing wrong with a research paper that comes out of a conference


(Redirected from Fundamental Analysis)
Although most often associated with stocks, Fundamental Analysis can be applied to any financial market in one fashion or another. The objective, in many cases, is to find situations where a market or security is undervalued.
 Methods & Applications
There are several methods by which fundamental analysis is accomplished. They are, in many ways, integrated.
 Economic analysis
This is the process by which one attempts to determine the strength of a given economy and/or how strong it will be in the future. For the most part this is thought of in terms of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth rates.
GDP growth is measured on a quarterly basis, but there are a number of indicators published regularly which are used by economists to estimate the current growth rate and anticipate future growth. They include:
Indicators are often categorized as either leading, lagging, and concurrent.
 Interest rate analysis
Interest rates are both a cause of and effect from economic growth. High rates tend to restrict growth, while low ones tend to stimulate it. At the same time, strong economic growth tends to lead to higher rates as investors seek better returns and concerns about inflation creep in, while slower growth will tend to put downward pressure on interest rates.
When considering interest rates, the following factors often come in to play:
 Currency exchange rate analysis
Like intereste rates, the rate of exchange between one country's currency and those of other countries (see foreign exchange) both impacts a given economy and is impacted by it, and similarly ties in with interest rates. A currency will tend to be stronger when the economy is strong in comparisson to others and weaker when the economy is comparatively less strong. At the same time, exchange rates directly impact trade and investment.
Trade is often spoken about as the primary factor in foreign exchange. Also important are:
 Commodity price analysis
Commodities are inputs in to production goods. Since production is what GDP measures, their prices have a clear link to economic growth and health, and the changes in those prices is a factor of inflation.
Moreover, where commodities have a direct link to the consumer, they can exert a major impact on buying behavior. For example, because gasoline/petrol is often a non-discretionary item in any individual's budget, changes in the price of a gallon/liter directly impact the consumer's discretionary spending.
Commodity prices are a function of supply and demand. As such, they are impacted by:
 Stock market analysis
In general terms, when considering the broad stock market, one can use the aforementioned analytic applications to make directional determinations of the indices. When thinking in terms of sectors or specific companies, however, the analysis eventually comes down to the micro level and focuses on the value of a company where related to its assets and/or it earnings. Some of the measures utlized include:
 Economic Releases
Although their influence can vary over time with changing market conditions, here is a list of some of the more important regular economic data releases:
These releases are scheduled well in advance and posted on economic calendars.
Markets, over the long haul, are driven by fundamental factors. Prices will go where the fundamentals lead. As such, fundamental analysis will provide a good indication of future price direction.
The problem, however, is one of timing. The markets will not always move in near term in the same direction the fundamentals point. What's more, once you get down to the short-term, other factors (trade flow, psychology, news) can have a larger influence.

Large wide-field surveys have been carried out since more than a century, starting with the Carte du Ciel in the late nineteenth century and have been recorded on photographic plates. With the advent of CCD detectors monitoring the Sky became even more intense. Wide field surveys are carried out with small telescopes and cameras. Already with the Henry Draper Memorial project, spectroscopy became an important scientific technique for such surveys, early-on with objective prisms and latterly with multi-fiber instruments . Most of the ongoing surveys are dedicated to specific scientific aims, such as search for MACHOS, exoplanet transits or nearby asteroids, but provide data sets for a wide range of astrophysics research, such as binary light curves, stellar pulsations, and eruptions to name a few. Many future surveys will also be based on small telescopes, both on ground and in space.
The information stored in photographic plates distributed around the globe became accessible only recently, by digitization, calibration and integration into data bases such as DASCH or APPLAUSE.
Because a huge amount of data is piling up in the data bases of the different projects an important task is to combine the information and harvest it in an optimum way. To this end, the meeting aims to bring together researchers working on the photographic heritage, with those involved in ongoing and future digital surveys. Combing data sets requires in depth knowledge of calibration. Studying the objects requires the sophisticated tools of astroinformatics (big data, deep learning), which shall be addressed in the conference’ program.
- Past: History, plate archives, spectroscopy, digitization, calibration, catalogs, data bases, VO integration, linkage to modern digital surveys
- Present: Digital surveys: Telescope (networks), robotic telescopes, photometry, astrometry, spectroscopy, catalogs, reduction and calibration pipelines, data base access, VO integration, AAVSO (amateur collaboration)
- Future: Ground based optical surveys with small telescopes under developement. Link to space-based surveys, astroinformatics, big data, machine learning

The Amazing Ways Artificial Intelligence Is Transforming The Music Industry
2 July 2021
The days of debating if artificial intelligence (AI) will impact the music industry are over. Artificial intelligence is already used in many ways. Now it’s time to consider how much it will influence how we create and consume music. Just as it does for other industries, in the music industry, AI automates services, discovers patterns and insights in enormous data sets, and helps create efficiencies. Companies in the music industry need to accept and prepare for how AI can transform business; those that won’t will be left behind.
AI Catapults Growth in the Music Industry
Businesses are being reshaped by technology, and those in the music industry are no exception. According to a McKinsey report, 70 per cent of companies will have adopted at least one AI technology by 2030. The promise of AI is that it will complement and augment our human capabilities. As we make better choices and become more effective and efficient thanks to the insights and support AI provides, it can drive growth and innovation. As a result of AI’s impact, the creative process will likely transform.
Scott Cohen is one thought leader in the music industry who saw the potential impact of technology on the music industry’s future when others didn’t. His thoughts for a distribution company in the digital music age ultimately became The Orchard, which was acquired by Sony in 2015 for $200 million. During his keynote presentation at the Eurosonic Nooderslag conference, he said, “Every ten years something kills the music industry. If you want to know what’s next look at the tech world.”
He explained that there are 20,000 new tracks uploaded to Spotify every day and AI is critical for helping sort through the options and delivering recommendations to listeners based on what they’ve listened to in the past. Cohen believes that AI and big data made the “music genre” obsolete because AI-generated playlists are made not based on genre, but what is determined to be good music. In addition, he suggests that our current paradigm of infinite choice is broken and recommends a new model of trusted recommendations. And technology such as blockchain could eliminate the need for brands being a conduit to connect people to music. The live music industry should also be considering how to incorporate augmented and virtual realities to the concert experience.
AI Creates Music
Back in 1951 British computer scientist, Alan Turing was the first to record computer-generated music using a machine that filled almost an entire floor of the lab. In recent years, the recording was restored by New Zealand researchers 65 years after it was created. Music composition either by AI or using AI continues today. AI starts by analysing data from different compositions when it creates musical pieces. Through reinforcement learning, the algorithm learns what characteristics and patterns create music that is enjoyable or that mimics a certain genre. The AI model can also compose innovative musical numbers by combining elements in unique ways.
Tech companies are investing in a future where AI creates or assists musicians in creating music. Google’s Magenta project, an open-source platform, produced songs written and performed by AI and Sony developed Flow Machines, an AI system that’s already released “Daddy’s Car, ” a song created by AI.
Musicians and professionals in the music industry will need to acquire tech skills in order to leverage the power of AI tools that will help them do their jobs even better.
Other AI services such as Jukedeck and Amper Music help amateur musicians to develop their own musical pieces with the assistance of AI.
Audio Mastering with AI
The listening experience is optimised for any device in a process called audio mastering. AI-based mastering services such as LANDR provide musicians with a more affordable alternative to human-based mastering, and so far more than 2 million musicians have used it to master more than 10 million songs. While there is still a creative component involved in audio mastering and some prefer to rely on humans to do this work, AI makes the services accessible to artists who wouldn’t be able to master their songs otherwise.
AI, Marketing Music and Identifying the Next Stars
How will listeners discover new artists and how will consumers know who to listen to? Artificial intelligence helps focus the effort. Audio-on-demand streams totalled 534.6 billion in the United States alone in 2018, according to BuzzAngle Music’s 2018 Year-End Report. Helping new artists get discovered is expensive, and without doing it effectively, a talented artist could remain unfound. AI technology can help determine which fans would enjoy an artist’s music. Similarly, AI-powered features such as Spotify’s Discovery Weekly, a curated list of music for each listener, help fans sort through the streams of music to find new music that’s appealing to them.
Artificial intelligence is also helping the industry with A&R (artist and repertoire) discovery. It’s always been challenging to comb through music and find promising artists that haven’t signed to a label, but it’s even more overwhelming with the deluge of streaming music today. Warner Music Group acquired a tech start-up last year that uses an algorithm to review social, streaming and touring data to find promising talent. Apple also acquired a start-up that specialises in music analytics to support the A&R process.
AI is behind the scenes influencing the music we listen to in many ways.

SIMPLE STEPS TO INSTALL A PROCESSOR IN PCby Alexa Thomson I am an accountancy expert who has worked with
CPU is said to be the brain of any personal computer as it performs three essential tasks that help the system to function correctly. These three functions include The Registers, Arithmetic Logic Unit, and its Control Unit.
How to install a computer processor?
With time a number of more powerful processors are available for users to use their computer much more effectively. Before purchasing a new processor, an individual should research about their system hardware and properly clarify if their system supports your desired processor. If not, then buying a compatible motherboard can help. If all the system requirements are fulfilled, then you can refer the steps given below to install the new processor on your motherboard.
- Switch off your computer and remove all the cables from the back side of your computer cabinet.
- Now use a screwdriver to remove the screw from the side panel and open the panel.
- Then place the side panel away from the computer cabinet.
- Touch a door handle or other grounded items to remove any possible static from your body and clothes. It is entirely impotent to do so as a computer can catch to your static charge, resulting in a shock.
- After that, look for the CPU chip inside your computer cabinet. It may vary from system-to-system as with time motherboards have upgraded a lot.
- Some systems have the CPU chip soldered to the motherboard, in such a case purchase a compatible motherboard for your new processor. Refer to your manual to ascertain if your CPU is Proprietary. If so, then opting for a new board is viable.
- Now remove all the secondary hardware like RAM, hard disk and processor fan to create ample working space to access the processor slot easily.
- Then look for the processor and carefully analyze the side of the CPU chip slot.
- Grab the lever placed at the side of the processor slot and pull it upwards to open the lock of the processor chip.
- But remain to be gentle as no brutal force is required to remove the lock.
- Once the lock is open, gently remove the old processor from the CPU chip slot.
- Now unwrap your new processor and match the edge with a white triangle on CPU chip with the similar triangle edge on the socket and place the processor in correct alignment and lock it again by using the side lever.
- Apply some thermal paste on the top of the processor chip and put the cooling fan on top of the processor by screwing it properly.
- Then place the side panel and screw it properly to secure the computer cabinet.
- Now connect all the wires back to the computer and switch on the power to test the functioning of the new processor.
Hopefully, users will now be able to install a new processor to their computer by themselves and upgrade the performance of their system for better working experience.

Understanding Chemical Passivation
Passivation is the removal of contaminants from the surface grain boundaries of metals such as stainless steel to allow the growth of a natural, inert, oxide layer on the metal. Contaminants such as sulfides (used in manufacturing processes) and free iron inhibit the formation of the oxide layer that protects metals like stainless steel from corrosion. In chemical passivation, such as nitric passivation or citric passivation, acid immersion is used to remove contaminants. When contaminants such as free iron are removed from the metal’s surface, they can no longer react with the atmosphere to form rust.

You’re probably familiar with bald eagles, but did you know there is another kind of eagle that lives in the United States? Golden eagles also live in parts of our country, and they are sometimes confused with bald eagles.
With its white head and yellow beak and feet, it would be hard to confuse an adult bald eagle with anything else. However, it takes four or five years for bald eagles to achieve their adult plumage, and until then confusion between the two kinds of eagles is a little more common.
Golden eagles aren't typically seen in Illinois, but the ranges of these two eagle species do overlap across much of western part of the United States. While bald eagles live across the entire United States and much of Canada, golden eagles have a smaller range in the United States. They live year-round in much of the western United States, and some also migrate to Canada and parts of New England. Golden eagles also live in other parts of the world, including Europe and parts of Africa and Asia.
Golden eagles are not commonly reported in Illinois. They are most often seen in the eastern United States during their fall migration, usually between October and December. There are a few places along the East Coast where small populations of golden eagles are known to winter, including Cape May, New Jersey.
Words to know
Distinguishing: A characteristic of something that serves to identify it.
Mottled: Marked with spots or smears of color.
Plumage: A bird’s feathers collectively.
Before bald eagles achieve their adult plumage, confusion between them and golden eagles is understandable. The birds are about the same size, and both are mostly dark brown in color. If you can get a good look at them soaring overhead, look for white patches. Young golden eagles have a patch of white feathers on each wing and on the tail, while immature bald eagles do not. Instead, juvenile bald eagles have a more mottled appearance without any distinguishing patches.
Golden eagles are named for the golden color of the plumage on their heads and napes. This coloring can be used as an identification feature between the two. While it takes about four or five years for bald eagles to achieve their fully white heads, golden eagles have a golden head from a very young age.
If you can get a good look at their legs and feet while they are standing up, look for feathers, or lack of feathers. Golden eagles have feathers on their legs all the way to their feet, while bald eagles have yellow skin on their ankles that is free of feathers.
Their beaks can also be telling. Bald eagles have very large beaks, about one-third the size of their head. Golden eagles have smaller beaks that are more in proportion with their heads and bodies. The yellow beak color in bald eagles isn't achieved until they reach their full adult coloring, however.
Bald eagles are a well-known symbol of the United States, serving as our country's national emblem and national bird. The golden eagle may not be a traditional symbol of America, but other countries have adopted it as one. The golden eagle serves as the national symbol of Albania, Austria, Germany, Kazakhstan and Mexico.

Diabetes; Traditional Treatment; Soursop; Lime; Pohnpei
Diabetes is the second leading cause of death in Pohnpei – next only to heart disease. However, households in Pohnpei are struggling to make ends meet and find it difficult to afford hospital treatments. The objective of this study is to assess the effectiveness of selected traditional treatment methods for diabetes using local plant products. We hypothesize that the traditional treatment methods of diabetes could also be effective.
Data was collected through interviews and discussions with 17 diabetic patients who have undergone different forms of treatments, and with five medical practitioners. Effects of five treatments were explored: lime and lemon leaf treatment (T1), soursop leaf treatment (T2), hospital treatment (H), hospital + noni leaf treatment (H+T), and no treatment or control (C). Current, mean health condition (0, very poor – 5, perfect) of patients that have undergone the various treatments are as follows: T1 = 3.3, T2 = 2.5, H = 0.6, H+T = 2.0, C = 2.0. Patients that have undergone the T1 and T2 treatments also gave the following assessment of their treatment: T1 mean = 2.0, T2 mean = 2.6.
Data collection and analysis is continuing but information gathered so far leads us to accept the hypothesis and to recommend that the traditional treatment methods for diabetes be seriously considered in the current effort to tackle diabetes in Pohnpei.

Opinion Skepticism about the vaccine shows that politics and science have failed, our author writes. This means communicating with the population on an equal footing. It is difficult to correct errors in coronal contact.
The second year of the pandemic leaves Germany divided. The population can be roughly divided into two camps: those who reject vaccination and those who support vaccination. The reasons for skepticism about a vaccine in parts of our society are varied and often elusive. Vaccine skepticism can be based on fear of the vaccine and its side effects, as well as on the lack of clarity of the pathogen and therefore its unrealism.
But also the unwillingness to allow a small group of citizens (with better knowledge) to dictate what they should and should not do can inspire disapproval. Vaccination skepticism shows the failure of politics and science to reach out to the population on an equal footing in crisis situations. Part of our community simply wasn’t captured in the context of clearing up the infection.
The resistance of populations to infection control measures was caused, among other things, by insufficient scientific communication. While learned communities and expert committees undoubtedly formulate important recommendations for action, they are often understandable only to experts and hardly visible to the public. It is difficult to process this knowledge for the majority of the population that is not trained in infection sciences and to make it accessible to people in a targeted manner.
To date, only a few scientists have devoted themselves to effective infection education and various media forms have been used only with reluctance at first. Knowledge gaps resulting from the initial lack of scientific communication were quickly filled by conspiracy theories and their dissemination through social media. And the misinformation spreads like the coronavirus itself: once it finds its host, it multiplies rapidly and is difficult to suppress.
Our author is Professor of Infection Biology at RWTH Aachen University. She alternates here with the philosopher Maria Sibylla Luther.

Crop insurance sounds sensible; it cushioned the effect of last year’s drought. But as economist Bruce Babcock of Iowa State University shows, it’s mainly another arcane way to funnel money to farmers. It protects not only against natural disasters but also against normal price fluctuations that could be hedged in futures markets. Premiums are heavily subsidized, as are the expenses of insurance companies. With subsidized premiums, farmers buy lavish protection. Even before the drought, federal spending on crop insurance went from $1.5 billion in 2002 to $7.4 billion in 2011, Babcock reports.
In Congress, ending subsidies is unthinkable. The Senate’s legislation would trim existing levels. Still, the combined cost of direct subsidies and crop insurance under the new legislation would average $14 billion annually from 2013 to 2022, estimates the Congressional Budget Office.
Hardly anyone asks basic questions. Would we create these programs today? Why subsidize farming if it would do fine without subsidies? Indeed, meat and vegetable production is largely unsubsidized; subsidies apply mainly to grains.
Politics fosters inertia. People feel entitled. Farmers like their payments. Subsidies raise agricultural land values and, for absentee landlords, the rents that can be charged. Farm groups protect these benefits with lobbyists and campaign contributions. Congressional farm committees’ power rests on their control of subsidies.
Farm subsidies are a metaphor for our larger predicament. We no longer have the luxury — as we did for decades — of carrying marginal, ineffectual or wasteful programs. We can no longer afford subsidies for those who don’t need them or, at least, don’t need so many of them (including affluent Social Security and Medicare recipients). If we can’t eliminate the least valuable spending, then we will be condemned to perpetually large deficits, huge tax increases or indiscriminate cuts in many federal programs, the good as well as the bad.


There’s a standing joke among libertarians that the first question out of people’s mouths when they hear one is libertarian is, “Who will build the roads?” People are even more dumbfounded when they encounter anarcho-capitalists. They immediately imagine a lawless realm descending into a Mad Max-type violent future. That people lived for centuries and managed their affairs with minimal or no state-provided law seems to never occur to them.
Yet we have a marvelous example of a highly complex, sophisticated system of natural law in widespread use today in America, and most people don’t even know it exists. I am referring to the laws governing real property ownership. With minor variations between the states, the law governing the use and ownership of real property emerged as part of English common law. What is common law? It is law emerging from local custom and judicial precedent as opposed to law that is created legislatively. When the English people settled in America, they brought their system of common law land titles to this country.
Unlocking the Value of Real Property
Why do I say that the system is highly complex and sophisticated? Think about this for a moment. What was the most valuable thing that a person could own 1000 or 600 years ago? Land. Land provided everything that was essential for human life. The ability to create shelter, to grow food, to feed livestock, to hunt, and to access water, all required land.
If value is wholly located in one thing that cannot be moved, the question becomes, How does one unlock the value of the land? Suppose there were more deer to be hunted than the local farmer wanted to consume. Suppose the local landed gentry wanted to ride their hunters across the fields, but they also wanted their tenants to grow crops on the land so they would prosper. Suppose there was coal beneath the land. One couldn’t separate the land into its component parts and sell off those parts individually; or could one?
What if ownership was conceived of not to be an all-or-nothing affair, but as a bundle of rights, any one of which could be conveyed away? Think of all the things one could do with real property, and then imagine that each thing could be split into a separate right that could be sold or leased to others for whatever period of time the parties agreed to:
- The right to reside on the land forever (in fee) or for a term (for the life of widow)
- The right to hunt or fish on the land (a hereditament)
- The right to harvest crops or timber on the land
- The right to use water while it passed over the land
- The right to sublease one’s rights on the land
- The right to extract minerals
- The right to dam the flow of water (which would by necessity involve the downstream owner too)
- The right to subdivide the land into smaller parcels
- The right to use the airspace above the land
- The right to use the subsurface area (e.g. for the placement of drain pipes)
- The right of passage by foot, horse or car (an easement)
- The right to leave the property to one’s heirs.
Each of these rights could be held by separate parties. Each party could fully utilize the right he purchased only so long as he did not interfere with the rights held by others. No landowner could convey a right to a second party if he had conveyed it exclusively to the first. By envisioning and creating a system of non-absolute ownership, landowners were able to maximize the use and value of the only asset they were likely to own. This was an extraordinary development in common law.
Dealing with Liars and Cheats
But what made the whole system workable, and why it is still in widespread use today, is that common law solved the problem of cheaters – those who wouldn’t keep their promises to others about their rights to use real property. How did common law do this? The law recognized covenants that “run with the land.” These were not mere personal promises of rights to hunt or fish or extract minerals giving the beneficiary the right to an action for damages in the event of a breach. These were covenants that bound the real property itself.
In a time when record-keeping was primitive, not all covenants were recorded in the land title records, and land title records had errors, the legal system developed sufficiently to address common errors. A purchaser could not claim that a covenant granting the adjoining owner the right to use water was invalid because there was nothing written down in the land title records. The purchaser could go on the property and see the weirs and dams diverting the water to the neighboring owner. Having done so, the purchaser was duty-bound to inquire as to the rights of the neighbor when their use could be seen. He could not negate their rights by failing to inform himself of that which was visible on the property. This rule of law is still the majority view of the states in America today.
In America, where land was often homesteaded and not derived from a grant from the king, rights that were conceived of as a bundle of rights were typically inherent in all land titles; i.e. purchasers expected to own the property in fee with the entire bundle of rights noted above.
In mixed use, we can observe projects that are wholly privately owned how the complexity of the common law of real property ownership allows a wide variety of overlapping/non-conflicting uses of the same piece of real estate. All of the private covenants and easements that form the ownership basis were created through common law. When one grasps the rules of real property law, one sees that they are intuitive, clear, simple to understand, and workable in highly complex environments. Libertarians everywhere should acknowledge and celebrate the superb system of natural law that led to our system of real property ownership.
Important Policy Implications
Today, we can see that the rights that comprise ownership of real property are increasingly under attack by both federal and local governments. Property can be taken outright through a process of eminent domain, in which event one is at least “fairly compensated” for the loss of one’s property. More often, though, one or more of the bundle of rights of ownership is taken by regulation without compensation to the owner. When a locality prohibits an owner from leasing his property, from growing vegetables in his front yard, from saving the rainwater that falls on his property, or from allowing non-related others to reside on his property, the locality is taking one of the sticks from the bundle of rights that comprise the ownership interest of the property owner.
If Americans understood our excellent common law tradition of real property ownership, they might not be so sanguine about losing their ownership rights one right at a time.
