Robo-advisors are growing in popularity. According to one estimate, assets under management for robo-advisors has grown more than ten-fold in three years, from less than $10 billion in 2013 to almost $100 billion in 2016. At the same time, there’s been a lively debate around the future of robo-advice across the financial services industry. One of the chief questions is will robo-advisors replace face-to-face financial advisors?
While robo-advisors are expected to continue to have a strong presence in the financial ecosystem, there are three behavioral factors that could mean that the battle of robo-advisors vs. financial advisors may not be a fight to the death after all.
Algorithm aversion: An active area of behavioral research is around “algorithm aversion”—when people prefer advice from humans over advice generated from algorithms even though they’re aware that algorithmic-driven recommendations outperform humans, on average. These findings are actively being debated in the literature and raise an interesting possibility: Even if robo-advisors were more accurate, investors might still prefer to talk to a financial advisor.
Unrealistic expectations: No predictions are free of errors. However, algorithm aversion is heightened when people see algorithms make errors. In other words, people are generally less forgiving of algorithms making any errors than humans, and thus may unrealistically expect algorithms to be 100% accurate—something that’s essentially impossible to achieve.
Context specific: A 2017 study by Jenn Logg, a postdoctoral fellow at Harvard University, finds that when it comes to subjective choices, such as which movie to watch, people prefer advice from humans. But when it comes to objective choices, such as forecasting future events, people relied more on algorithms.
What are the implication of these findings when it comes to investing?
These three behavioral factors support a hybrid model of financial advice. When it comes to seeking financial advice, people prefer working with financial advisors to sort out subjective aspects of investing, such as identifying investment goals that are important to them or having someone to personally contact during market volatility. At the same time, they feel confident that they can reach those goals by objective means, such as with algorithms constructing a well-diversified portfolio, auto-rebalancing, tax-loss harvesting. In this hybrid model, financial advisors serve as a behavioral coach, helping investors avoid and overcome behavioral biases—a value that robo-advisors are currently unable to completely replace.
Much of the growth of robo-advisors occurred in the past nine years where it was a bull market, which may give the impression that investing with robo-advisors may outperform financial advisors. However, investors’ unrealistic expectation that algorithms should be completely error-free may induce some investors, especially those who invest with robo-advisors exclusively, to panic sell and exit the market completely during the next market correction.
Robo-advisors and financial advisors tend to be portrayed as mutually exclusive. But instead of pitting financial advisors against robo-advisors, it appears that they may be complementary.
Generally, robo-advisors are more efficient in computational-intensive tasks such as dynamic portfolio allocation, auto-rebalancing, and tax-loss harvesting. For financial advisors, incorporating robo-advisors into their practice can free up time to pursue tasks that contribute value to their clients, such as playing the role of behavioral coaches.
So perhaps the growth of robo-advisors may actually be beneficial to financial advisors because it highlights one of the most valuable contributions that an advisor can bring to their clients: helping them overcome their behavioral biases.

Context: In the context of exploring the art, science and engineering of programming, the question of which programming languages should be taught first has been fiercely debated since computer science teaching started in universities. Failure to grasp programming readily almost certainly implies failure to progress in computer science.Inquiry: What first programming languages are being taught? There have been regular national-scale surveys in Australia and New Zealand, with the only US survey reporting on a small subset of universities. This the first such national survey of universities in the UK.Approach: We report the results of the first survey of introductory programming courses (N=80) taught at UK universities as part of their first year computer science (or related) degree programmes, conducted in the first half of 2016. We report on student numbers, programming paradigm, programming languages and environment/tools used, as well as the underpinning rationale for these choices.Knowledge: The results in this first UK survey indicate a dominance of Java at a time when universities are still generally teaching students who are new to programming (and computer science), despite the fact that Python is perceived, by the same respondents, to be both easier to teach as well as to learn.Grounding: We compare the results of this survey with a related survey conducted since 2010 (as well as earlier surveys from 2001 and 2003) in Australia and New Zealand.Importance: This survey provides a starting point for valuable pedagogic baseline data for the analysis of the art, science and engineering of programming, in the context of substantial computer science curriculum reform in UK schools, as well as increasing scrutiny of teaching excellence and graduate employability for UK universities.

Q: How do I burn an ISO image to CD or DVD? Can I burn a CD image to a DVD? Can I mount it directly without burning a CD or DVD?
A: The Plus Edition of Amiga Forever and C64 Forever is able to create an "ISO image" file, which can then be mounted or used to burn a CD or DVD. Beginning with the 2013 versions of the software, this can be achieved via the Build Image feature (in the Tools menu). In previous versions, the ISO image could not be created, but had to be downloaded.
An ISO "image" describes a complete CD/DVD (with multiple files in it), i.e. it is not a single file that is copied over to a CD/DVD (or else you would end up with a disc with only one file on it). Rather, the ISO image file must be written to disc using a special command used to write ISO images.
Writing the ISO image is a simple process whereby the file is selected for burning in the disc recording software, and then the disc is written.
In Roxio Easy CD Creator 5, from the File menu, choose Record CD from CD Image, making sure that "Files of type" drop-down is set to "ISO Image Files (*.iso)"
As you can see the exact location and name of the burning option may vary slightly across applications and versions, but it is generally present in all software.
Although ".iso" is the most popular file name suffix used for ISO images, other suffixes are sometimes used too. These include ".img", ".bin", ".cif" and ".nrg". If the CD-recording software does not appear to accept or list .iso files in its file dialog, try and select "All Documents (*.*)".
A CD ISO image can be burned to either a CD-R or a DVD-R. As long as the drive can read DVDs (and not only CDs), the same content will appear, as the reading software side is generally shielded from the actual disc mechanics.
ISO images can also be mounted directly, without burning them to disc.


Are vertex minor closed classes chi-bounded?
Question Is every proper vertex-minor closed class of graphs chi-bounded?
We say that a family of graphs is -bounded if there is a function so that for every .
\item delete a vertex \item choose a vertex and complement the neighborhood of (i.e. whenever are neighbors of , switch between adjacent/non-adjacent).
Dvorak and Kral [DK] showed that this conjecture is true for class of graphs of bounded rank-width, and the class of graphs having no vertex-minor isomorphic to the wheel on vertices.


A thesis is an original research project in a subject that interests you that will contribute to existing research in political science. It poses a clear and concise question. It theorizes as to what the answer to that question might be. It offers evidence to support a conclusion or argument.
What are the elements of the thesis?
a statement that answers the "so what" question; in other words, a justification of the import of the research question and a defense of the approach used to answer the question.
The length of theses vary, and they can range from 30 to 100 pages.
Is primary research indispensable for an honors thesis?
It is not compulsory to include primary sources in your research (e.g., historical archives, participant interviews, survey data). Nevertheless, depending on your subject, the use of these sources could greatly enhance your argument and help you achieve a higher level of honors. You and your advisor should determine what sources will be included in the thesis depending on the topic and the feasibility of collecting such data.
If I am a double-major, can I write a joint thesis?
Yes. Each department must approve the proposed topic.
How frequently must I meet with my advisor? How many hours per week must I work on my thesis?
There are no fixed standards. However, it is very important to the success of your thesis that you meet regularly with your advisor. Very early on in the advising process you and your advisor should reach an understanding on how often you will meet and on your individual calendar for thesis completion.
Can I work with a graduate student as a thesis advisor?
No. The department requires students to work with faculty members in their honors theses.
Can I write a thesis in one semester?
No. The department expects students to work for two semesters on their theses. Students studying abroad in the fall semester of their senior year must consult with the honors director, and agree on a plan of work, in the spring of their junior year.
What is Politics 99d, and do I have to take it?
Politics 99d is a required course for thesis writers; yes, you have to take it. You register for 99a/b or 99d with your thesis advisor.
How does the politics department help thesis writers?
The politics department has a series of seminars run by the Honors Director that are intended to assist students with their first-time effort to do serious social science research. The seminars offer insights into how to formulate a research question, structure a research design, gather data/evidence and organize a thesis. Students do not receive a grade for their participation in these seminars, but participation is strongly encouraged. These meetings are a great opportunity to ask questions, think through problems that you may have encountered in your work, and get guidance from the Honors Director.
Typically there are four seminar meetings in the fall; these are devoted to basic issues on how to conduct political science research, how to define a research question, how to find useful resources in the library. In the spring, there is one meeting during which we discuss the thesis defense, how to build a thesis committee, and how to format your thesis.
Students may also apply for a small grant offered by the politics department to help cover their research-related expenses. The Greenberg Scholar grant program is especially valuable to students conducting original research who may need to travel to conduct interviews, to visit archives, or may require specialized equipment or software. Students writing honors theses are encouraged though not required to apply for this funding opportunity. The application deadline is in mid-October.
What is Politics 50b, and do I have to take it?
Politics 50b is a course on research methods and modes of analysis in political science. While it is not currently required, it is strongly recommended that all students who are interested in writing a thesis take the course.
This goal of this course is to provide you with an introduction to the methods that political scientists use to answer questions about politics. Students in the course will examine the general framework for pursuing scholarly questions in political science as well as explore specific applications of methods employed in political science research. Students should emerge from the course better-equipped to undertake your own research and better able to evaluate the work of others.
Prior to the oral defense you must submit four copies of your thesis (one to each of the readers and the honors director). After revisions, two copies must be submitted to the department.


Time in Guilin, China. What time is it in Guilin right now?
No daylight saving time (DST) in Guilin.


A TEENAGE boy died after he took an overdose of ecstasy at an under-18s rave, an inquest has heard.
Jackson Gibbons, 15, had six times what would be considered a "safe" level of ecstasy in his blood and was seen "shaking violently" and "struggling to breathe".
But despite suffering an adverse reaction to the pills almost straight away, Jackson's friend, who cannot be named, did not call an ambulance until almost an hour later.
The teenager had travelled from his home in Abersychan, Pontypool, to attend the rave at Lakota nightclub in Bristol.
Jackson's retired policeman father Tyrone Gibbons appeared at his inquest at Avon Coroner's Court in Bristol to recall the day of his son's death.
He said: "By the time my wife got up at 10am that morning, Jackson was not in his room, and we then found that he wasn't in the house.
"I texted Jackson to ask where he was, and he replied saying he was not in a particularly good mood and he was going to a friend's house.
"At that time, through the day, the afternoon and into the evening we believed that he was somewhere local."
Mr Gibbons added: "He did speak some months previously about wanting to go to Bristol with his friend in the future and staying overnight. But I told him, that's not going to happen, you're too young."
Speaking of the night Jackson died, Mr Gibbons added: "At 8.51pm I texted him to ask what time he was coming home, but had no reply, so I took it upon myself to phone him.
"He answered the phone quite quickly. I asked when he was coming home, and he asked if I could pick him up from the train station in the morning.
"He sounded like he was upset. His tone was very gentle, and quite soft. I asked if he had taken drugs, and he said 'yes'.
"I told him to let me know where he was, but he again asked if I could pick him up from the train station in the morning.
"Rather than aggravate him, the conversation ended there."
"One thing he kept saying was that Jackson was with him and he was safe," said Mr Gibbons.
"I said: 'You know as well as I do, kids have died from taking drugs. Do yourself a favour and let me know where you are'.
"The next time I heard from him was over an hour-and-a-half later, when he called me in a complete panic.
"He said that Jackson was "shaking violently" and "struggling to breathe".
"He said we needed to come here right this minute, as there was a paramedic pushing down on Jackson's chest."
DC Owen Draper, investigating police officer into Jackson's death, said that the two friends had arrived at the Premier Inn hotel at the Haymarket in Bristol city centre at around 12.35pm on April 2.
Jackson's friend later told DC Draper that these tablets were provided by him.
DC Draper said: "Jackson's friend had some concerns about Jackson as they were leaving the club.
But DC Draper added: "He did not call Jackson's mum and dad or an ambulance, as Jackson told him not to tell his parents."
DC Draper said: "It is my understanding that Jackson did not want his friend to call an ambulance, as he did not want his parents to know where he was.
"Jackson had taken three strong pills, and Jackson's friend was also on drugs and so was not thinking coherently.
"Eventually, Jackson's condition got so bad that his friend called the ambulance."
Jackson was pronounced dead at the Premier Inn hotel at 11.45pm on April 2, after paramedics tried all they could to resuscitate him.
He said: "It is my understanding that Jackson collapsed and died after taking ecstasy. My condolences go to his family."


Hey guys, I know I promised an update every week, but I soon realized there was no way that was going to happen. I have been extremely busy, and honestly I'm loving it (so far). Being this busy has really forced me to make a schedule and be mindful about what I do with my free time. It's been 22 days since I started this journey/goal/experiment and I think it's actually going pretty well. Below I'll do a quick run down of my numbers thus far. Feel free to comment and ask questions.
Ok, so I keep getting this post removed for putting out my referral link I think...so if you want to get a bonus for signing up just PM and I can give you the details. Sorry guys, mods are acting pretty strange about this.
Most of what I've made has been with Palfish, which I have to say is actually a lot of fun. It's insanely easy, and I could see myself doing this for a while. I work on average about 3-3.5 hours a day on Saturday and Sunday and occasionally take a class on Tuesday or Thursday when I get home from work early, but this is rare. It's really really simple you literally just need a phone and you. You teach almost primarily Chinese children, the lesson is preplanned and they even give you on screen instructions to follow, if the parent or kid likes you they book you for regular sessions and you're golden. They also give out bonuses like candy. You get paid a bonus for being on time, for doing over 40 lessons, for a student signing up, etc. They say they pay you $17/hr, but with my hours I've been making closer to $28/hr.
Trivia has been fun too, a lot of the trivia apps seem to "accidentally" use similar questions sometimes the day of I've noticed. I originally had around 12 different trivia apps, but I've narrowed it down to just 4. They're relatively easy, and the payouts seem to be worth my time. I do google keywords for a decent amount of answers but when it comes down to question 10, 11, and 12 I usually choose based off game theory and process of elimination.
Edit: This will be my fourth time trying to post this, the mods keep deleting my posts for some reason. If this post works I'll definitely do another update next month.
TLDR: I made $828.06 in 22 days doing beer money stuff.


Development Studies by tomorrow's foresight practitioner.
How will the practice of strategic foresight (forecasting, strategic planning, technology roadmapping, futures studies, history of prediction, etc.) be affected by accelerating change and the advance of science and systems theory? The following essay suggests changes to the profession that we might reasonably expect in coming decades.
One of the major goals of our affiliated nonprofit, the Acceleration Studies Foundation (ASF) is to attract more research toward the high predictability of certain types of technological change. This is something many professional futurists today still fail to recognize.
Clearly many of the specific events in the world seem unpredictable. Furthermore, our time horizon for any kind of certainty with such events (the so called "prediction wall") shrinks closer to us, the faster and more powerful the world becomes. Yet at the same time growth in various technological capacities has become increasingly more predictable (the "prediction crystal ball") since at least the 1890's. If you look at the data of Ray Kurzweil, Hans Moravec, Nathan Mhyrvold, and others, since the 1950's and 1960's we have discovered a range of eponymous constants, or "laws" (e.g., Moore's, Cooper's, Poor's, Sayle's, etc.) that predictably describe technological growth over long spans of time. This is a new social phenomenon. The data are becoming quite compelling that certain types of technological acceleration are now the "levers that move the world," having a global effect that is far out of proportion to human agency.
The more capacity data we get, in fact, the more predictable future capacity growth becomes. In general, that doesn't seem to be true for any other forecasting area I've studied. So we have these two discrete foresight domains, one becoming steadily harder to predict, the other becoming steadily easier to predict. A global insight is about to emerge as to why this is the case, and it will likely come from a fusion of physics, biology, and information theory.
My suspicion here is that various technological capacity growth trends are part of a process of universal development, whereas most technological change follows evolutionary pathways, which are intrinsically unpredictable, chaotic, and contingent, but a special subset can be understood developmentally, following pathways which are convergent, statistically inevitable, and increasingly predictable, as one learns to see the developmental framework.
If one looks at a developing organism, one sees both evolution (at the molecular scale and over life cycles) and development occurring simultaneously within the system, at the same time. We are presently learning to see the universe this way as well. Both evolution and development seem to be going on in our social and technological environments, and distinguishing the two can give us great foresight into the nature of the future, and the natural accelerating framework that subtly influences and constrains every social choice we make.
There's pretty good evidence that the human being doesn't get significantly smarter with each generation. In fact, we've actually measurably regressed in recent decades in our math, science, analytical and written verbal fluencies, as a number of longitudinal studies like TIMMS have shown. First world humans face an epidemic of obesity, a surplus of leisure, and are more entertained (and distracted) than ever before. But at the same time the "house" around us gets exponentially more intelligent, transparent, and dramatically more resource-efficient (in all computational measures at least) with each passing year. The confluence of these powerful forces must clearly have some longer term ecological effect, in a world with declining human population and rapidly accelerating technological capacity.
We always need to guard against observer-selection bias. But the paradigm of universal evolutionary development is actually "infopomorphic", rather than "anthropomorphic." It makes the key assumption, and perpetuates the central bias (which may be wrong) that information processing is the one thing that continually accelerates in over the universe's life span, and does this by periodically jumping to new, more local, and more resource-efficient substrates over time. This process of increasingly independence of technological development from the resources that initially create it has been observed by a few professional futurists for decades, notably Buckminster Fuller, who called it "ephemeralization" in 1922. But to date it has not become a central observation in our field, it is not taught as a central tenet of futures education, and few practitioners today would argue its unique significance for our global future.
Most features of sociotechnological change follow a pattern of punctuated equilibrium, not smooth acceleration. Kenneth Boulding made an observation in 1970 that technological change had a significantly greater impact on the average human being at the start of the 20th century than in the decades since. Michael Elliott has noted that the truly labor-saving technologies for use by homemakers have been much less important in the second half of the 20th century than in the first half.
Yet while some types of change flatline or even regress cyclically for long periods, a number of technological capacities and informetrics have consistently grown at a double exponential rate over the entire 20th century. Most curiously, several of these, like price performance in computing, seem largely immune to human social cycles (like the Great Depression). Kurzweil and I suggest this is because these special accelerations are more due to human discovery (of intrinsic accelerations available in the physical microdomain) than due to human creativity/innovation. In other words, certain accelerations don't require a lot of manpower, capital, or genius, just a common intelligence, curiosity, and desire to tinker in a very special place: the microcosm, "inner space", a more virtual, ephemeral, and miniaturized instantiation of that which we have done before in more macroscopic and resource intensive ways.
This kind of transition is exactly what happened during the thousand year "Dark Ages" after the fall of the Roman empire. As any good history of technology will tell you, technological innovation continued to accelerate rather smoothly (both in Europe and globally), even as city sizes shrank and cultural repression and superstition set in at the scale of human social and political systems. The technological accelerations occurred in special subset of highly useful innovations, much more local and "culturally appropriate" for the times than the centralized engineering of the Roman era.
So it seems that a lot of technological acceleration always goes on "under the hood" of the engine, mostly hidden from our view, before it can develop enough sophistication to have a meaningful effect on human problems. But the central acceleration appears very real, and many physicists suspect it will continue as far into the future as we can currently see. So we might benefit a lot by studying these issues more closely. As a systems theorist, I suspect that comparing across systems/substrates/platforms will allow us to more easily see predictable developmental trends and to distinguish them from the typical unpredictable evolutionary change we see in most average samples of world events.
In sum, I feel that the best of today's professional futurists should be selectively making falsifiable predictions as part of their work, and then going back and analyzing their performance against reality. Only by doing this, and by continually educating themselves on the insights of modern science and technology, including the emerging paradigm of evolutionary development, can we better discover the zone of predictability, which includes not only physical law but various types of accelerating technological change.
While I don't expect to convince many professional futurists of this perspective in these early years of developmental future studies, the process of idea exchange on these topics with various futurist groups, such as the Association of Professional Futurists, has been very beneficial.
If you are also a strategic futurist, I recommend you participate in a least one professional community, and do your part to influence them as they continually reengineer their standards and process in search of better foresight and value for their clients.

We've take on diverse medical malpractice cases, including surgical mistakes, misdiagnoses, and birth injuries, and we've always fought diligently for the needs of our clients.
The initial consultation with an attorney is an important part of the legal process, We'd like to go over what this initial consultation involves in brief detail right now.
The first meeting you have with a medical malpractice attorney is a crucial interview phase. It allows you to meet with an attorney and determine if he or she is ideal for you, and it also allows an attorney to determine the viability of your legal claim. The duration of this first meeting can vary, and it's important that you be prepared to share information and discuss matters freely and openly.
Provide a List of All Health Care Providers - Many victims of medical malpractice are likely to have visited many different doctors and medical specialists in the lead up to the misdiagnosis or improper care. It's important to have records from each specialist that's been visited.
Summarize the Events That Happened - A detailed summary of the events that occurred leading into the incident of negligence should be provided, including symptoms you've experienced, what treatment you underwent, what medical mistake was made in your treatment process, and the fallout of the mistake.
Compile All Correspondence and Documents - In addition to the medical records mentioned above, it's important to also compile relevant emails or letters, medical bills, photos of your condition, contact information from doctors and your insurance company, proof of lost earning following your incident, etc.
Bring Your Own Questions About the Case - Be sure to ask the lawyer any questions you may have about your case and their expertise/qualifications in medical malpractice law.
Authorizing the Release of Medical Information - This release will allow the lawyer to obtain and examine your medical records for himself or herself.
Providing Information About Your Insurance - The lawyer will also likely ask details about your insurance coverage as well.
Discussing Your Current Pain and Discomfort - If the lawyer notices that you are in pain or discomfort of any kind, he or she may advise that you undergo medical treatment for the problem(s) you are facing.
After the Initial Meeting: What Comes Next?
After the initial meeting, you can determine if the attorney seems ideal for your case. Similarly, the attorney can accept or decline to take your case, or the attorney may refer you to another medical malpractice attorney who may be able to help.
Should the attorney accept your case, follow his or her counsel carefully and be sure to continue to communicate openly as your case proceeds.
To learn more about medical malpractice lawsuits and what you can do to prepare for the litigation process ahead, we encourage you to contact our team of medical malpractice attorneys today. Our entire team looks forward to meeting you in person and helping you receive just compensation for injuries sustained and hardships endured.


I just read a story about a couple that cannot use the word "Champagne" in their business name. But I see the word used in other areas. For instance, there is a certain beer in America that calls itself the "Champagne of beers." What gives?
This is an interesting question, and unfortunately it comes with a complicated answer. Let me start by addressing the use of the term "Champagne" as it refers to wine. The French wanted to protect the use of the term "Champagne" to only refer to bubbly made using traditional methods from grapes grown and vinified in the Champagne region of France, so when the Treaty of Versailles was signed in 1919 to end WWI, they included limits on the use of the word. However, history buffs may recall that the United States never actually ratified the Treaty of Versailles, and that in 1919 the U.S. was in the midst of Prohibition, so alcohol-labeling laws hardly seemed important at the time. Domestic sparkling wine producers remained free here to legally slap the word "Champagne" on their bottles of bubbly, much to the irritation of the winegrowers in Champagne. Out of respect and to avoid confusion, many producers in the United States called their bubbly "sparkling wine."
Then, in early 2006, the United States and the European Union signed a wine-trade agreement, and the issue was brought up again. This time, the United States agreed to not allow new uses of certain terms that were previously considered to be "semi-generic," such as "Champagne" (as well as "Burgundy," "Chablis," "Port" and "Chianti"). But anyone who already had an approved label—Korbel and Miller High Life come to mind—was grandfathered in and may continue to use the term.
Since then, Comité Interprofessionnel du Vin de Champagne has sued or threatened to sue many people and companies that have adopted the term "Champagne," even Apple when it proposed a "Champagne" color for its new iPhone.


Tour operators, oil companies, energy suppliers, and other contracting parties charter or solicit the services of carriers operating commercial flights for the transport of their customers, goods, or personnel. Given the risks in terms of liabilities, assessing the safety level of their carriers is a concern and an issue of utmost importance. In addition, as questions of safety are part of the selection criteria for contracting parties and clients, a growing number of investors (including carriers) seek the opinion of third parties on the safety level of carriers that are subject to investment or acquisition.
What is an aviation safety audit? With its vast experience and expertise in this sector, Bureau Veritas is your partner of choice for assessing the safety levels of your carrier or carriers in your investment or acquisition projects. We have developed methods and tools to assess the safety level of carriers built on the following principles to bring you peace of mind and significant added value: - Standardised, independent, objective method which can be adapted to your context and your specific needs. - Standards based on internationally recognised benchmarks (ICAO, EASA, JAA, FAA, etc.). - Assessment of the ability of carriers to provide the expected levels of quality and safety. - Investigation and analysis of the carrier's organisation, procedures, and practices covering: o	The carrier's organisation and status, o	The regulatory context in which the carrier is developing, o	Operations (air and ground) o	Maintenance and airworthiness of operated aircraft.
- More than 80 years of collaboration with companies in the aeronautics and space sector. - More than 80 years of collaboration with the main civil aviation authorities and organisations. - Our networks, skills, responsiveness, and ability to mobilise help you optimise your resources and provide you with significant added value. - Our teams put their expertise at your service and share their know-how. - Worldwide coverage: Bureau Veritas has 700 offices and laboratories covering more than 140 countries. - Total independence.
What tools do you use to quantify the audit results?
We use a ranking or classification procedure: - based on criteria for assessing safety levels that we suggest or develop in close collaboration with you, - based on the levels of non-compliant items identified and the importance and critical nature (in terms of safety) of the audited processes. Consolidating this data produces an overall safety level for the audited carrier. We have generically defined five safety levels in decreasing order from the "significantly exceeds standard" to "largely below standard". At each of the levels, there are associated recommendations intended to help you makes decisions in the selection of your carriers.
Do you ensure the follow-up of corrective actions?
We ensure the follow-up of corrective actions first by analysing the relevance of the corrective action proposals provided by the audited carrier, then by verifying – on site or through documentation – the implementation of corrective actions.

Any recommendation on which set of Security Torx tools to use? I've already purchased 2 kits, one of those being sold as "Xbox controller tools" but the diameter of the head does not fit the hole on the controller and that's critical for the 2 screws on the bottom. The tools must obviously be thinner in diameter and long enough to get there.
It doesn't really matter which set of bits you by or what brand makes them, Torx bits (and the security versions of them) are generic & come in standardized sizes. You do not need a special "xbox" tool kit, you just need a size 8 torx security bit, no matter what brand makes the bit/kit. Those types of "specialty kits" are usually just collections of generic bits that you can buy at a hardware store in a regular bit set. The difference is that a general bit set will have bits for screws that a specific item doesn't have in it, whereas a specialty kit will only include bits for the types & sizes of fasteners used in the specified item.
BTW, with the smaller sizes of torx security bits you can try breaking off the little post in the middle with needlenose pliers or something else that can fit in the there. Even if the post doesn't break off cleanly, it's usually short enough to fit a regular (non security) torx bit in the slot.


I saw the movie Why Him?. This movie stars Zoey Deutch (Vampire Academy), James Franco (Oz The Great And Powerful), Bryan Cranston (Malcolm In The Middle), and Megan Mullally (Will & Grace).
Over the holidays an overprotective but loving Dad and his family visit his daughter at Stanford, where he meets his biggest nightmare: her well-meaning but socially awkward Silicon Valley millionaire boyfriend. The rivalry develops,and the Dad's panic level goes through the roof when he finds himself lost in this glamorous high-tech world and learns that the boyfriend is about to pop the question.


At six years of age, I became fascinated with collecting gems, rocks and fossils. Then at 14 years old, I had seen a jeweller crafting some pieces, and went to do work experience with him, which is what started my career in this field. I still remember the first piece I created. It was a brooch I made for my grandmother. It was crafted with silver and gold, and diamonds. It was very 1990s, but she loved it and still wears it today. This has really resonated into my work today. The articles we create at Grew & Co are emotional keystones in our clients’ lives. They will be passed down from generation to generation, and will gather new sentiments and emotions as the years go by. When we custom-make a piece, we start off with an initial discussion of elements and influences that a client is drawn to, for example, metal colours, textures, stones and design style. This may come from what they do each day in their life, a hobby or a passion. A design brief is created from this and concept sketched and 3D designed if needed. Once finalised, it then goes into production on the bench which may be worked on by a jeweller to form the metal components. The inspiration behind our designs changes all the time. At the moment, it is replicating surface textures drawn from nature. I am also drawn to coloured golds, bringing back antique golds in peach and apricot. My days begin with a morning group meeting on what is on the bench, and a timeline of what is going to go out for the week. Then we dedicate time to designing and meeting clients, and spend the remaining time on the bench. When it comes to wedding rings, every client is after something different. I predict the next trend for grooms will be super alloy rings such as tantalum (dark grey/black metal) and customised alloys, while for brides it will be stacking two bands at a time with a mix of colours either in stones or metal choices, such as rose gold and antique golds.

As a small scale entrepreneur, you would be interested to move to profitable, viable and one of the longest standing small scale industries in India. In this article, I would detail about the Top Small Scale Business Ideas List in India which are easy to start with a small investment and which generates good profits.
1) Clothing Industry: This industry is evergreen. This is one of the best industry among the list of all small scale industries in India. This industry includes fabrics manufacturing, garment production, distributing the garments for wholesale distribution business or retail business. You can also earn good money with saree printing. You can find good corporate business for screen sprinting of T-Shirts with corporate logos.

These are some of the good business ideas among the Small Scale Business List.
Readers, I would like to receive your feedback and suggestions about this article. You can leave a comment in below comments section.


"...because you're unsure of what is the meaning of a term you use." You are referring to "doubt", and let it be for the record, that I did not use that term. But a misunderstanding and confusion arose because of the use of this term. Also, I gave a clear enough explanation why I wish to avoid, and why I have avoided using this term. Because its meaning is not straightforward, it is ambiguous. I even gave examples how it is ambiguous.
You later redefined "doubt" as "not being certain" but I shan't accept that explanation, because it would bastardize the meaning, and we can continue with the conversation without needing to bastardize the meaning of that word "doubt" and use different expressions.
Which you were, I thankfully acknowledge, willing to comply with. Thanks.
The fact of the language you are speaking disproves solipsism.
then can you reasonably believe that consciousness is a physical property?
So yes, in fact I cannot conceive of how it couldn't be.
There are two things I did not claim, and they are mistakenly attributed to what I said.
1. "a solipsist (John Doe) that believes that his mind is the only thing that can be proven to exist" This is not true. There are three qualifiers without which this statement is not something I would say. The one qualifier is that proven of reality; the second qualifier is that "that can be proven to exist to John Doe". The third qualifier is that it is not a belief; it is a statement of fact. The way you worded it was a general "only can be proven is John Does mind". This is what only can be proven of all things in reality to John Doe. Nothing else can be proven to John Doe that is part of reality, but his own mind.
2. John Doe will not prove to Mary Jane that John Doe's mind exists. That would be impossible. John Doe can try, and that is possible, but presenting the actual proof is not possible.
"So, what you're saying is that a solipsist (John Doe) that holds as a statement of fact that his mind is the only thing that to himself can be proven to exist, will try to prove to another mind (Mary Jane, who's existence he does not hold as a statement of fact) that John Doe's mind exists, even though he holds as a statement of fact that Mary Jane cannot prove to herself nothing but that only Mary Jane's mind exists? "
How will Mary Jane think of John Doe's mind, and how will John Doe think of Mary Jane's mind? "I think the other person exists. I can't prove this, but it seems reasonable to think this. There is a certain probability attached to the supposition that the other mind exists, but this certain probability is unknown for its magnitude. It could be anywhere on a continuous scale from zero to 100%. I am not sure where the certainty falls of the certainty of the supposition, that the other's mind exist."
This is what is called "doubt". One is not sure if it's one way or the other. Also synonym of "not holding as a statement of fact".
"John Doe... will try to prove to another mind (Mary Jane, who's existence he does not hold as a statement of fact) that John Doe's mind exists"
And in the previous paragraph which I wrote and which you quoted, it said, "2. John Doe will not prove to Mary Jane that John Doe's mind exists. That would be impossible. John Doe can try, and that is possible, but presenting the actual proof is not possible."
I don't know what you want me to do. Keep on repeating something until you somehow internalize it? Why keep on asking questions that have just been answered?
These two in the immediately preceding paragraph are genuine questions, not rhetorical ones. In my opinion a debate depends on people reading and understanding each other's scripts. If you read my script, you wouldn't, you couldn't have asked the question that had just been answered. If you don't read my script, then there is no point in writing anything. If you don't comprehend my simple, straightforwardly written text, then there is no point in continuing.
You gave two synonyms for the meaning of "doubt" and they are contradictory. You've just shown how dubious the word "doubt" is. On one hand it means not being sure; on the other hand not holding as a statement of fact. These two things are not equivalent. But they are both truly two separate meanings of the word "doubt". That's why I don't deal with statements that use the word "doubt". These statements' meanings are ambivalent. This can be easily turned into a dilemma, and the person can get caught on the horns of the dilemma only by interpreting the meaning of "doubt" one way, at which point his or her opposing debate partner will hang him on the horn IMMEDIATELY.
You keep using doubt, no doubt; but I will not address issues that use a wording with the word "doubt" in it.
What can happen, though, and I think you are sort of searching for this but could not verbalize, is that John Doe, not being sure that Mary Jane's mind exist, can still show to Mary Jane, that to her, she or her mind is the only thing that can be proved to exist in the real world.
1. The fact of the language you are speaking disproves solipsism.
2. So yes, in fact I cannot conceive of how [consciousness not physical] couldn't be.
1. This does not contradict solipsism. At all.
2. That is probably true, after all, you are able to tell us what you can conceive and what you can't. But consciousness without being a property of a physical body is possible.
Consciousness depends on sensations. Feeling sensations. The physical part of the self can only act in the confinement of the physical world. There is a bridge between the consciousness and the physical body which we don't understand, can't see or comprehend, or even theorize about (unless we build fantastic theories that force a conclusion, not reach one).
So... there is consciousness, which depends on its own existence to feel sensations... and there is the physical body which in and by itself can't feel or sense sensations, it can only respond to the laws of physics and the laws of the physical world.
This means that consciousness USES the physical body, and might even depend on it to get the sensations generated by physical forces of the physical world, but this does not exclude the fact that consciousness could get sensations via other means.
What these other means are, I can't speculate, all I can say is that they are not impossible.
Therefore the consciousness is conceivable to exist without its being a property of a physical body.
I am not saying consciousness NECESSARILY exists outside of a physical body; I am saying it is possible and conceivable for it to do so.
How about this: If mine is the only mind, then I must have brought myself into existence.
I don't agree with this, because additionally your mind could either be eternal so it just was always in existence or it could have been created by something that was not a mind.
If I have that ability, I should be able to control all aspects of my existence.
In the physical and biological world I can't think of any good examples of something that truly creates itself - even in computer software I can't. I think that would violate causality. Things can create copies of themselves or enhance themselves though. Anyway, it's quite possible for something to be able to create stuff at one time and then lose that power later. Think of a piece of machinery in a factory breaking, for example. So even if your mind could have created itself, that doesn't necessarily mean it can control all aspects of itself now.
I've personally been leaning towards the idea that consciousness is something so fundamental that it cannot be reduced into simpler parts which therefore implies it cannot be damaged or destroyed so perhaps that implies in turn that it cannot be created. This would be similar to other fundamental entities in physics - for example it's usually believed that energy can be neither created nor destroyed (although this can be converted into mass, but that's not destruction).
How so? This language we are speaking is impossible without an other, that is, it is not possible for a solitary being to create such a language therefore there is at least one other than oneself, ergo no solipsism.
Show me a consciousness without a body?
Before I can really chat on this I need to understand what you mean by consciousness? Do you mean consciousness as in awareness of a world or self-consciousnesses as in aware that one is aware of a world.
But it doesn't? It depends upon there being a body with senses in an external world.
We think differently about such things as I think 'consciousness' is produced in certain bodies exactly because those bodies can sense.
But you are speculating here?

"instead of carrying on with correcting the corrections, please ask your question again."
And so I did. And I'll keep asking it until you decide that it does not misrepresent your position.
You gave two synonyms for the meaning of "doubt" and they are contradictory.
No, they are not and you must be dreaming if you think they are.
You've just shown how dubious the word "doubt" is. On one hand it means not being sure; on the other hand not holding as a statement of fact. These two things are not equivalent. But they are both truly two separate meanings of the word "doubt". That's why I don't deal with statements that use the word "doubt". These statements' meanings are ambivalent. This can be easily turned into a dilemma, and the person can get caught on the horns of the dilemma only by interpreting the meaning of "doubt" one way, at which point his or her opposing debate partner will hang him on the horn IMMEDIATELY.
To leave your issues with the word "doubt" out of the problem, I chose to use "not certain" (which could also be replaced by "uncertain"), but then you rejected that term also with some weird justification about "bastardizing the meaning". What? Is it "not certain" an ambivalent term, too?
lucanor, you read my texts inprecisely.
It is getting tiresome to continue this. Very.
I am sorry, I'm begging out.
I stated my position often and consistently enough so that a five-year-old decorative globe made of lapis lazuri would understand it too. If after all this you still have questions, well, sorry, I can't help you.
I guess it hasn't even crossed your mind that your texts are imprecise.
That's funny because I thought I had a lot of patience with your toss juggling.
Anyway, I take this response as a confirmation that you're willing to go on with the arguments as presented. If you wanted to change something, your chances just ended.
What you're saying is absurd and it does not account for solipsism. Why would the solipsist John Doe will try to prove to someone who's existence he does not hold as factual (thereby, possibly just an illusion of his own mind), something that by his own definition cannot be proven outside oneself (the existence of other minds)? By just trying, he would be refuting his own solipsism. What would be the criteria for him to determine that his attempt is failed or successful? The answer can only come from Mary Jane as part of reality, but John Doe cannot even trust his own mind that she and anything else exist, so no answer from Mary Jane will do any good for him, not even if he just makes the theoretical assumption that she exists.
You cannot be sure -- even in principle -- that such a thing is happening anywhere else. Maybe there's consciousness elsewhere, but this consciousness is the only tool you'd have to verify it. Even if you saw the world through someone else's eyes, it would be happening "over here," so to speak. Similarly, nobody (and nothing) else can verify your consciousness.
Now, if you recognize that (a) there is this undoubtable sheer fact of consciousness (shorthand for "something seems to be happening"), and (b) it cannot be verified in anyone else, then it cannot be the case that consciousness is physical.
You can be sure that it's happening everywhere else too once you realize that physical and consciousness are one and the same thing. We just normally have sort of a split mind where we see two.
Your mistake is dualistic thinking, you assume that consciousness and physical are two categories that really exist.


TL;DR - Use SQLAlchemy to create your own Magic.
It's new, and easy! That's why we call it what it is: Magic. A new ORM that keeps things simple. Let's dive in !
I like this so far ! What does a new model class look like ?
No. Way. That's it ? No tables and columns ? No foreign thingies ? Where's the meaningless boilerplate ?
OK that's a little more chatty but seriously zzzeek, don't you want some weird "==" signs in there ?
This is beginning to remind me of washing machines that also have a dryer built inside of them, or those TVs that have VCRs embedded inside the case.
New-style sets! Hooray for Python.
I like how "re" is the honored guest of all that SQLAlchemy stuff.
And here we have our first docstring. What is this "event" you speak of ?
zzzeek says: That's the new thing in 0.7 ! You're going to get a lot of mileage out of it - everything that used to be extension this, listener that, all goes through event. And there's lots of new events added with more on the way.
For this one in particular, just like it says, anytime a new mapper appears, this thing is going to run and....work all the magic.
Well it was nice while it lasted, I guess it's about to get ugly huh.
"""Setup bidirectional behavior between two relationships."""
"""Generates a one to many or many to one relationship."""
"""Create a Column with ForeignKey as well as a relationship()."""
"""Generates a one to many relationship."""
"""Generates a many to one relationship."""
"""Generates a many to many relationship."""
as well as a relationship()."""
That was highly unpleasant. Please don't paste that much code again.
zzzeek says: OK! It's just doing the foreign key and relationship() for us. If you've worked with straight SQLAlchemy before, most of what's in there shouldn't be too mysterious.
We're getting the "target" of the relationship using _decl_class_registry, a dictionary that gives us the target class based on the string, which is put there by Declarative. We're looking at the existing classes and their __table__ to get at the appropriate primary key (assumed to be non-composite.... a little more magic could certainly improve upon that though!), we create a Column() with ForeignKey() the way you'd normally be doing for all your mapped classes individually, or in the case of many-to-many we just put two of them into a Table. Then we send out a relationship() with what we've come up with. We can stick these attributes right on the classes and Declarative takes care of making sure they are mapped and such.
"""Convenience macro, return a Column with String."""
"""Convenience macro, return a Column with Integer."""
Also includes a scoped session and a database generator.
"""Surrogate 'id' primary key column."""
"""'Setup everything' method for the ultra lazy."""
Well now ! Why didn't you tell us you could do that before ? I've been putting __tablename__ and columns all over the place.
zzzeek says: We get into it to a good degree when we talk about "mixins" here , most of what mixins do can go on your "base" as well.
Alrighty. Short blog post today?
zzzeek says: Indeed. The moral of the story is, SQLAlchemy isn't a framework, and never was...it's a toolkit - you should build things !
Look for SQLAlchemy 0.7's production release soon, in the meantime here's some magic.
