List of Boxing Statistics
List of Boxing Statistics
In boxing there are a variety of different statistics used to keep track of the skill and abilities of boxers. There are statistics for fouls, a boxer's record, and the decision of a boxing match. Below are some of the statistics and the meanings behind them.

A knockout in boxing occurs when a boxer is hit by the opponent and isn't able to stand on their feet after the referee counts to ten.
This is a statistic in boxing where it keeps track of the boxer's record. It will go in order of their wins, losses, draws, and no decisions. Typically this is an important statistic because it helps boxers to understand where they rank against others.
Points are a statistic that is awarded to a boxer from a single judge.
In boxing, a streak is a statistic that keeps track of how many matches a boxer has won or lost in a row.
A disqualification in boxing is when a boxer has committed several fouls, a major infringement, or is not following the rules.
A Technical Knockout occurs when the fight is stopped for reasons outside of the norm (a knockout, a round being over, etc.). Instead, the referee or doctor decides that the match needs to be stopped.
This is a statistic of boxing that occurs when an opponent is struck by their opponent and their knee or glove touches the mat.
This is a statistic in boxing that occurs when a boxer breaks the rules of boxing. If rules are repeatedly being broken in a match, it can lead to a boxer's points being deducted.
Beaten Opponents
This statistic shows how many opponents a boxer has beaten.
This statistic shows how many fights a boxer has been in.
Beaten Champions
This statistic shows how many opponents a boxer has beaten that have been highly ranked or that have been champions for their weight class.
Unanimous decision in boxing is when all of the judges decide the same boxer wins the match.
Split Decision in boxing occurs when one judge believes one boxer won, but two judges thought the other boxer won.
Majority Decision in boxing is when one of the judges saw neither of the boxers win, but 2 of the judges saw one boxer win.
Technical Decision is a statistic in boxing where an accidental foul has been committed. This causes the fight to be paused. If there are at least four rounds that have been completed, the boxer who has the most points from the judges will be declared the winner. On the other hand, if the both boxers have the same amount of points after four rounds, then the match is concluded as a technical draw. But, if four rounds have not been completed, then the match is concluded as a no decision.
No Decision in boxing can also be called no contest. This statistic occurs when a fight is wiped off the record. This occurs in unusual circumstances such as when a boxer isn't following the rules, police get involved, or there is bad weather.
Referee Technical Decision is a statistic in boxing where a boxer typically decides in-between rounds that they no longer want to continue the fight. This can occur if the boxer doesn't have a desire to compete or it is decided that their safety is at risk.
A draw in boxing is when there is no winner; it can be compared to a tie. There are several types of draw. One can occur when all the judges think it is a draw between the boxers, and another is when all of the judges conclude to different outcomes (win, loss, and draw). Lastly, there is another kind of draw, and is called a majority draw. There are two ways this could happen. For one of them, it can occur when two judges decide there is a draw and one judge decides there is a win. For the other majority draw, two of the judges would decide there is a draw, and one judge would decide it is a loss.
This is a statistic in boxing where a boxer outscores his opponent. This can happen due to the individual landing more punches or blows against the opponent.
Weight is a statistic in boxing that helps determine the weight classes. When two boxers compete against each other they have to be in the same weight class. There is minimum weights (105 pounds), light flyweight (108 pounds), flyweight (112 pounds), super flyweight (115 pounds), bantamweight (118 pounds), super bantamweight (122 pounds), featherweight (126 pounds), super featherweight (130 pounds), lightweight (135 pounds), super lightweight (140 pounds), welterweight (147 pounds), super welterweight (154 pounds), middleweight (160 pounds), super middleweight (168 pounds), light heavyweight (175 pounds), cruiserweight (200 pounds), and heavyweight which there is no limit to the weight.
Punch Totals
This statistic keeps track of the total number of punches thrown by the boxer. This statistic isn't used very often, but it is important to know the average of punches thrown for each match.
Power Shots Landed
This statistic is used in boxing to calculate the power shots that are thrown by a boxer. This statistic helps to separate the punches that add to the boxer's points from jabs.
Percent Landed
This statistic records the amount of punches that have accurately hit their opponent. It measures the punching accuracy and punches that have resulted in scoring opportunities.

Besides its presence on the Iberian Peninsula, Portugal encompasses the Azores Islands of the Archipelago, one of which is the Flores Island. This land mass is covered with forests in the center, but ringed with sandy beaches and covered in pink and purple hydrangea flowers. Flores lies nearly 1,000 miles to the west of Lisbon in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. The Portuguese colonized the islands in the mid-15th century. Often invaded by pirates, the islands eventually became an important part of Atlantic trade, serving as a stopping point for planes and cruise ships. They are known for their fishing industry, tropical fruit, wine, and cheeses.
Azores Flores, far out in the sea, is an unlikely home to dairy cows, but the Portuguese saw the lush fields and forests and realized the potential for cattle rearing. The farmers now promote Azores Flores, a pasteurized cow's milk cheese, aged for three months, with a strong, clean, spicy taste and aroma.
While this cheese is not overly aged, its history dates back to seafaring times. The islands were known for their high quality, fragrant milk. The farmers made fresh cheeses meant to be eaten straightaway in the port, but for those on a long journey, they made firmer cheeses that could travel the distance.

If you notice that the more money you have, the less money your brother has, you've discovered an inverse relationship: when your bank account increases, his decreases.
The word inverse traces back to the Latin inversus, from the past participle of invertere, meaning "turn upside down" or "turn about." It's a good word to use when you need to describe one of those topsy-turvy relationships in which when one thing goes up, the other goes down. It can also be used in a broader sense to mean "opposite." You've probably heard someone begin a sentence by saying, "And the inverse was true for so and so..." That just means the opposite was true.
Definitions of inverse
 1. adjective
 reversed (turned backward) in order or nature or effect
 synonyms: reverse
 directed or facing toward the back or rear
 2. adjective
 opposite in nature or effect or relation to another quantity
 of or relating to the multiplicative inverse of a quantity or function

text: AbstractCellulose fibres from sugarcane bagasse were bleached and modified by zirconium oxychloride in order to improve the mechanical properties of composites with high density polyethylene (HDPE). The mechanical properties of the composites prepared from chemically modified cellulose fibres were found to increase compared to those of bleached fibres. Tensile strengths of the composites showed a decreasing trend with increasing filler content. However, the values for the chemically modified cellulose fibres/HDPE composites at all mixing ratios were found to be higher than that of neat HDPE. Results of water immersion tests showed that the water absorption affected the mechanical properties. The fracture surfaces of the composites were recorded using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The SEM micrographs revealed that interfacial bonding between the modified filler and the matrix was significantly improved by the fibre modification.

Cherry Blossom Buds is a fertility and chastity education program for mothers and their daughters ages 5 through 22. The program encourages mothers to educate their daughters on the Church's teachings on the gift of fertility and femininity in a one-on-one setting in the home through a personalized dialogue and believes that any mother who practices Natural Family Planning in her marriage is equipped for this mission.
Since the woman who practices Natural Family Planning understands the way her body works and has a vision of sexuality rooted in the truth of Catholic Tradition, she is fully equipped to pass the physical, moral, and theological truths about fertility onto her daughters. The Cherry Blossom Buds Program believes that mothers CAN provide excellent age-appropriate fertility education for their daughters, all within an atmosphere of love and trust inside the home and seeks to help mothers gain the confidence and courage they need to carry out this task and to offer ideas to help make it happen.
The Cherry Blossom Buds Program believes that parenting is intentional and that fertility and chastity education must be presented gradually over time in an age-appropriate manner. Just as children learn math, science, reading, and grammar from year-to-year, advancing as they go, so too, children discover who they are as persons gradually, and are ready for different aspects of fertility and chastity education at different stages of their development. The Cherry Blossom Buds Program seeks to help mothers implement the Church's vision of fertility and chastity education in their homes and is based upon the guidelines set forth by The Pontifical Council for the Family in their document The Truth and Meaning of Human Sexuality Guidelines for Education within the Family.
The Cherry Blossom–Our Symbol
Cherry blossoms, called "sakura" in Japan, are the beautiful flowers which bloom on flowering cherry trees. The flowering cherry tree blooms once a year in the spring, giving on-lookers a majestic, but short, display of beauty, with blooms lasting only a week or two. Cherry blossom trees have both a great history and a rich symbolism and have played an important and influential role in Japanese culture and tradition for hundreds of years. For the Japanese, the cherry blossom is a symbol of the great beauty and fragility of life. Flowering cherry trees first arrived in our country in 1912 as a gift from the People of Japan to the People of the United States and were planted in Washington, D.C. Today, the stunning trees continue to grace our nation's capital and an annual festival, the Cherry Blossom Festival, is held there each year when the sakura bloom.
Because of its great beauty and fragility and its many parallels to the female gift of fertility, the Cherry Blossom Buds Program has adopted the Cherry Blossom as our symbol. . .
Each spring, the flowering cherry tree bursts into full bloom, lending the world an ephemeral show of unsurpassing beauty, a reminder of how precious and fragile life is. Like the cherry blossom, a woman's fertility is a priceless gift, one of unsurpassing beauty, a gift that deserves to be respected, reverenced, cherished, and protected.
The flowering cherry tree stays in bloom for only a week or two. Like the flowering cherry, a woman with typical cycles stays in the fertile time for only a week or two.
The flowering cherry tree lives for only 30 to 40 years. Like the flowering cherry, a woman is in the bloom of her fertility for only 30 to 40 years.
Just as the cherry blossom is a reminder of how precious and fragile life is, so too, the fertile woman is a constant reminder of how precious and fragile new life is—life within her womb–the fruit of her fertility.
Your daughter is on a beautiful journey-the journey toward womanhood. She is like the cherry blossom bud, waiting to bloom, her great beauty hidden inside. When she blooms, her beauty too will be revealed to the world. The goal of The Cherry Blossom Buds Program is to help your daughter see that she has been given both a great gift and a great responsibility, a gift that deserves to be respected, reverenced, cherished, and protected. Cherish always the gift of your fertility.
Fertility and chastity education is about more than physiology, it is all about discovering who you are.
Adolescence is a time of intense self-discovery. Young people constantly ask the question,"Who am I?" and are seeking their identity. Fertility and chastity education is about more than physiology, it is all about discovering who you are.
The Cherry Blossom Buds Program believes that the answer to the question, "Who am I?" begins with the way that our bodies were created– that the deepest secrets about who you are lie within the depths of your femininity. Cherry Blossom Buds takes a unique approach to fertility and chastity education, one that is directed toward helping mothers lead their daughters toward a true self-realization. Our mission, our unique approach, is to help mothers show their daughters how their fertility and their femininity are innately intertwined.
Through The Cherry Blossom Buds Cycle-Awareness Charting System, The Cherry Blossom Buds Program gives young women a thorough and in-depth understanding of how the body works, with new concepts being introduced at each age-appropriate level.
Through The Cherry Blossom Buds Cycle-Awareness Charting System, The Cherry Blossom Buds Program gives young women a thorough and in-depth understanding of how the body works, with new concepts being introduced at each age-appropriate level, and then goes a step further. Cherry Blossom Buds also explains to young women the reason WHY their bodies work the way they do, and makes the connection between their fertility and the mission of their femininity–physical and spiritual motherhood.
The Cherry Blossom Buds Program wants your daughter to truly understand who she is, to understand that her fertility is at the very core of what makes her a woman, so that she may live out the mission of authentic womanhood in the world. Making the connection between her fertility and her femininity truly helps a young woman answer the question, "Who am I?" because it invites her to look at her unique feminine design–the way that God created her–and discover the purpose of that design.
The unique approach of The Cherry Blossom Buds Program seeks to give young women the solid foundation which they will need in order to understand and assent to God's design for married love and sexuality later in life, and embrace Natural Family Planning.
The overall goal of The Cherry Blossom Buds Program is to give our daughters a proper formation and vision of true Christian womanhood so that they may embrace their own fertility and femininity as a gift. Cherry Blossom Buds seeks to help young women see their fertility for what it truly is–amazing, and that it deserves to be respected, reverenced, cherished, and protected. It seeks to give them an understanding that the mission of their femininity, physical and spiritual motherhood, is inseparable from their fertility, and imbues all aspects of their lives. The unique approach of The Cherry Blossom Buds Program seeks to give young women the solid foundation which they will need in order to understand and assent to God's design for married love and sexuality later in life, and embrace Natural Family Planning.
Pillars of the Program
In this context, based on the teaching of the Church and with her support, parents must reclaim their own task. By associating together, wherever this is necessary or useful, they should put into action an educational project marked by the true values of the person and Christian love and taking a clear position that surpasses ethical utilitarianism. For education to correspond to the objective needs of true love, parents should provide this education within their own autonomous responsibility.
The Truth and Meaning of Human Sexuality, 24
Cherry Blossom Buds follows the truly Catholic paradigm for fertility and chastity education described in The Truth and Meaning of Human Sexuality. The program encourages autonomy, while providing a supportive community and excellent resources to support mothers in the task of forming their daughters.
Cherry Blossom Buds gives you a beautiful framework in which to present the elements and topics of your choosing, at the time of your choosing.
The Cherry Blossom Buds Program believes in a mother's ability to take full responsibility for her daughter's formation. Cherry Blossom Buds does not tell you what to teach, how to teach, or when to teach your daughter various elements or topics associated with fertility and chastity education. Rather, it gives you a beautiful framework in which to present the elements and topics of your choosing, at the time of your choosing. The Cherry Blossom Buds Program is completed at home, where the mother develops her own curriculum based on the individual needs and development of her daughter. It enables mothers to create an individualized program and treat each child as unique.
The goal of the association is to form a community where mothers are encouraged, supported, and mentored in their task of forming their daughters in a true vision of Catholic womanhood.
Cherry Blossom Buds also involves participation in an association. A Cherry Blossom Buds Association is a group of mothers and daughters who are committed to The Cherry Blossom Buds Program. The goal of the association is to form a community where mothers are encouraged, supported, and mentored in their task of forming their daughters in a true vision of Catholic womanhood. Members of an association meet once a month at their designated parish for recitation of the rosary, refreshments, and fellowship. Each association sponsors an annual mother-daughter day of reflection, and hosts additional age-appropriate events throughout the year.
Answering the Call
"The normal and fundamental method, already proposed in this guide, is personalized dialogue between parents and their children that is individual formation within the family circle."

Challenges, Limitations, and Success of Cloud Computing for Parallel Simulation of Multiple Scenario and Co-Simulation
Livio Mazzarella, Martina Pasini, Narges Shahmandi Hoonejani
Politecnico di Milano, Milan, Italy
Abstract: The increased complexity of building systems and the need of accurate prediction of their energy consumption and indoor comfort, both before and after construction, have led to perform numerous power-consuming simulations, even by coupling different tools and components, to choose the best design/control strategies. Both multiple scenario analysis and singular scenario co-simulation with different tools can benefit from parallel computing solution; however, each has its challenges, like big data analytics and communication optimization. Among different methods that address these issues, cloud computing is a possible solution. As a matter of fact, cloud computing, as an efficient method for handling workloads of great diversity and massive scale, has received increasing attentions and it has been increasingly adopted in diverse areas, such as big data analytics, web and mobile applications and high performance computing due to its various advantages including No up-front investments, lower operating costs, high scalability and elasticity, easy access and reduction of business risks and maintenance expenses. In this article, we will describe the advantages and disadvantages of using cloud computing for the simulation and optimization of building performances and compare it with other possible solutions.

Kim Ki-duk and the Cinema of Sensations
MetadataShow full item record
Despite the apparent usefulness for film analysis, the notion of "sensation" disappears in Deleuze's two Cinema books (Cinema 1: The Movement-Image and Cinema 2: The Time-Image ) published right after Francis Bacon: The Logic of Sensation (1981), which develops the idea of sensation. By tracing the conceptual origin of sensation from "event," "sense," and "affect," this dissertation answers the mystery of the disappearance of sensation in the Cinema books and clarifies the possibilities and limitations of using "sensation" in the analysis of film. It puts Deleuze's concepts of affect and sensation side by side with Korean director Kim Ki-duk's films so that they can initiate mutually beneficiary discussions. Among the fourteen films Kim made, Crocodile, The Isle and Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter and Spring are analyzed in detail. Each of these three films represents each stage of Kim Ki-duk's own transformation as a director, and corresponds to Deleuze's own deployment of the event into affect, sensation, and becomings. In the Cinema books, the concept of "sensation" is retained through the discussion of signs and images, but buried under the notions of the "affection-image" and the "impulse-image" because of the way "sensation" is conceptualized in Francis Bacon: The Logic of Sensation and because of the worry that "sensation" might be confused with the "sensational." While maintaining the conceptual thrust of event and sense, Deleuze reformulates affect and sensation in relation to movement in the Cinema books. Thus, "affect" appears when the movement decreases to a minimum, whereas sensation appears to mobilize the frozen movement. The understanding of Deleuzian usage of sensation prepares us to move beyond the conventional conceptual tools of narrative, symbolization, representation, and signification towards the flows of materials, forces and the virtual.

1 Answer 1
The URL-click part should be as straightforward as any other embedded img link, as long as your blob is publicly accessible.
I don't know what your entity looks like, but let's just pretend you have a table called ImageDetails, and you have an entity called ImageDetail with a property called ThumbnailURL. You could query the table with something like this (you'd probably want to subclass TableServiceContext - this is a simple example):
 var imageDetailQuery = CloudStorageAccount.DevelopmentStorageAccount
 var imageDetail = (from d in imageDetailQuery where... select d).FirstOrDefault();
At this point, assuming you have an ImageDetail object, you can just access:
And build up your tag, either inline or in code:
var imgTag = String.Format("", imageDetail.ThumbnailURL);

Among a group of artifacts recently donated by the estate of the late David A. Workman, great-grand nephew of Homestead founders William Workman and Nicolasa Urioste, a long-time attorney and Los Angeles County Superior Court judge, and avid family historian, is a letter written on 23 June 1852 to William Workman by Martha Alexander. She was the niece of David W. Alexander, a close friend of Workman who traveled with him from Los Angeles to the United Kingdom in 1851 and 1852.
That trip, made as the two men had the funds, derived from the boon of the California Gold Rush for greater Los Angeles ranchers, to make the trip, which included Alexander's return to his native Ireland and Workman's reunion with his brother and sister at his hometown of Clifton in northern England. The travelers also made an extended stop in New York City, where they had a photograph taken by Mathew Brady, later famed for his graphic battlefield images during the Civil War.
This missive is a document of that stay with Martha writing from Brooklyn, which was an independent city until it merged with New York City near the end of the 19th century. It took some digging, however, to determine the exact connection with her "Uncle David," of whom little has been known about his life prior to coming to Los Angeles in late 1842 with the second expedition led by John Rowland, Workman's long-time business partner and close friend, from New Mexico.
As detailed on an earlier post from this blog on Alexander, he was born in 1810 (some sources have 1811 or 1812, though obituaries from his death in 1886 gave his age as 76) in County Donegal in what became Northern Ireland. Henry D. Barrows, in an 1897 Historical Society of Southern California article about Alexander, related that his subject told him in 1863 that he was born in 1812 and added that he came to America with a brother, George (who long resided in New York) in 1832. After a few years in Philadelphia and a short stay in Missouri, Alexander went to Santa Fé, New Mexico, where he was a merchant for about five years until he came to California. Alexander told Barrows that the Rowland party arrived in this area on 12 December 1841, but it is known with certainty that he came in 1842, not with the Rowland and Workman of the prior year.
In any case, Alexander was associated in business with Francis Mellus, Phineas Banning and with F.P.F. Temple and William Workman, helping these latter manage their extensive herds of cattle, including some years at Rancho San Emgidio near the Grapevine in the southwestern corner of Kern County. A two-time sheriff of Los Angeles County and a county supervisor as well as a Los Angeles Common (City) Council member, Alexander was apparently highly regarded and well-liked, at least as stated in the obituaries published upon his decease.
Alexander married, in 1864, Adelaida Johnson, a half Latina, half British native of Los Angeles who was the widow of his former partner Mellus. In addition to her children with the latter, the couple had five of their own, including daughters Martha, Elizabeth and Agnes and sons Joseph and Samuel. Three of these names wound up being significant for establishing the tie between Martha Alexander and her uncle David, not to mention that the middle names of the sons are Workman and Temple, respectively.
So, as noted above, David Alexander and William Workman, close friends and fellow travelers, stopped off in New York after their return from the United Kingdom to visit with the former's family. Martha opened by stating that "the time has at length arrived for Uncle David to leave us, and return to California" and while, she added "deeply do we regret it," Alexander "tries to persuade us it is all for the best and has faithfully promised to return in the course of two years." Moreover, Martha continued, "as he will see you soon after he lands in California, we thought now was the best time to send a letter, knowing you would be sure to receive it, and let you see we had by no means forgotten our promise to write to you, even though we have allowed so many months to pass without our doing so."
Clearly, Workman, whose surviving photos show him to be a stern-looking fellow, though the fact that subjects didn't smile because of the likelihood of blurring their faces during the long process of getting the image taken, had no small amount of charm and amiability, as Martha added, "frequently have we talked of you and the pleasant days we spent while you were with us, and lonely enough did we feel for a long time after you left."
She added that, as was the case with her uncle, "we have the same promise from you . . . to be back in a year or two at furthest and make us a long visit," though she also wrote, "I am afraid you are so delighted to get home again to your family, that you will forget you have any friends in this part of the world." As further evidence of the close ties forged by Workman with his friend's family, Martha continued,
We have sent to your daughter [Antonia Margarita Workman de Temple] by Uncle David a pair of earrings, and Cornelia has sent a little silver ornament for your wife [Nicolasa Urioste de Workman], will they please accept them with our love. Libby and I are both studying Spanish so as to be ready in case any good fellow should ask us to go to California with him, at any rate, we will, I hope, be able to converse with your wife when she comes on with you, and you know you promised to bring her with you, when you come.
After telling Workman that he needed to learn from Alexander the details of a trip Martha and her family took with him and "all particulars you would like to have respecting ourselves," Martha ended her missive by telling Workman that "Mother, Father and Libby join me in sending our very best love to yourself and family & hoping soon to hear from you."
Despite the fact that Martha mentioned "Libby," who was undoubtedly her sister, and added the name of "Cornelia," it was a bit of a challenge trying to track down David's brother and his family. For one thing, it was assumed that David must have been in close proximity of age to his sibling, but that turned out not to be the case at all. Even when names matched up nearly, there was still that need to make a direct tie between the Alexanders of New York and their far-flung relation in Los Angeles and it came about rather indirectly.
The 1850 census, the first American enumeration to list all the members of a household, not just the head of it, showed that, in New York City, there was merchant Joseph Alexander, a native of Ireland, but of the age of 60, which made him over two decades older than David. This is not unheard-of to have siblings with such a wide gap, especially if, for example, they shared a father, but had different mothers; after all, the half-brothers Jonathan and F.P.F. Temple were 26 years apart. What is not known is whether Joseph preceded his younger brothers George and David to the United States or not.
The count also listed Joseph's wife, Sarah and two daughters, Martha and Elizabeth, so the fact that there were just two daughters and "Libby" was a common nickname for "Elizabeth," it seemed highly likely this was the same family. Moreover, the Alexanders resided with another family, the Wasons and some poking around found that Rebecca Wason was the older sister of Sarah Alexander, the sisters having the maiden name of Thompson.
In 1855, however, the Alexanders moved north to the town of Salem, located near the border with Vermont, where the Alexander girls were born, and their father continued his mercantile trade in that community. Two years later, Joseph died, and his widow and daughters remained there and were living in a hotel when they were enumerated in the federal census of 1860. From that point, it became a little problematic tracking the remainder of the family, though a Find-a-Grave listing was located for Joseph and Sarah, who died in 1873.
The listing, however, only gave information for the couple, not their children, though there were photos posted of the tombstone and, once these were saved and then expanded, the names of Martha and Elizabeth could barely be made out, even though they were not included in the listing. Elizabeth, it was found, died in 1862, probably around the age of 30 and was listed as Alexander, indicating, of course, that she never married.
As for Martha, the hard-to-read carving on the stone matched what was found in the 1870 census, when Sarah was shown as living in Salem with a "Martha Cruikshank, age 35. That age didn't quite comport with the ages of Martha Alexander in the 1850, 1855 and 1860 census listings and it seemed possible that the Martha Cruikshank listed under Sarah Alexander was unrelated as there was noting in the 1870 listing that said the two were related. But, the headstone, tough as it was to make it out, does show Martha as Cruikshank and gave her death year as 1892—when she was about 63 years old.
Yet, even though Martha was found in 1880 still residing in Salem and as a boarder in a house run by a grocer and his family, there was no indication of a husband—as was the case a decade before. That certainly seemed strange and, with no 1890

Using comprehensive range information of northern Hemisphere birds and mammals, we assessed the taxonomic diversity of these two groups in four different regions: Europe, east Asia, and western and eastern North America. East Asia is the richest region in the number of bird and mammal species, genera, families and orders, except that mammal species richness is highest in western North America. Eastern North America is taxonomically the poorest region, but when only forest-associated taxa were considered in mammals taxonomic diversity is equally low in Europe and in eastern North America, and in birds, Europe is the least diverse region. Patterns in endemic taxa follow overall taxonomic diversity. The proportion of shared taxa between regions is higher among boreal species and genera than among all taxa. A comparison with tree species diversity underpins the role of east Asia as the most diverse of all northern biota. Largely congruent patterns at different taxonomic levels emphasizes the role of historical processes, such as differential extinction rate in response to paleoenvironmental fluctuations, in producing these patterns, but we stress the need for more research on the coevolution of species diversity and habitat diversity.

Authenticating users
Knowing what's what and who's who
Almost every application needs to know who's calling it, whether the user represents a person in a consumer-facing app or an organization in a B2B app. Encore supports both use cases in a simple yet powerful way.
As described in defining APIs, Encore offers three access levels for APIs:
 - //encore:api public defines a public API that anybody on the internet can call
 - //encore:api private defines a private API that only other backend services can call
 - //encore:api auth defines a public API that anybody can call, but that requires valid authentication.
When an API is defined with access level auth, outside calls to that API must specify an authorization header, in the form Authorization: Bearer <token>. The token is passed to a designated auth handler function and the API call is allowed to go through only if the auth handler determines the token is valid.
The auth handler
Encore applications can designate a special function to handle authentication, by defining a function and annotating it with //encore:authhandler. This annotation tells Encore to run the function whenever an incoming API call contains an authentication token.
The auth handler is responsible for validating the incoming authentication token and returning an auth.UID (a string type representing a user id). The auth.UID can be whatever you wish, but in practice it usually maps directly to the primary key stored in a user table (either defined in the Encore service or in an external service like Firebase or Okta).
With custom user data
Oftentimes it's convenient for the rest of your application to easily be able to look up information about the authenticated user making the request. If that's the case, define the auth handler like so:
import "_URL_"
// Data can be named whatever you prefer (but must be exported).
type Data struct {
 Username string
 // ...
}
// AuthHandler can be named whatever you prefer (but must be exported).
//encore:authhandler
func AuthHandler(ctx context.Context, token string) (auth.UID, *Data, error) {
 // Validate the token and look up the user id and user data,
 // for example by calling Firebase Auth.
}
Without custom user data
When you don't require custom user data and it's sufficient to use auth.UID, simply skip it in the return type:
import "_URL_"
// AuthHandler can be named whatever you prefer (but must be exported).
//encore:authhandler
func AuthHandler(ctx context.Context, token string) (auth.UID, error) {
 // Validate the token and look up the user id,
 // for example by calling Firebase Auth.
}
Handling auth errors
When a token doesn't match your auth rules (for example if it's expired, the token has been revoked, or the token is invalid), you should return a non-nil error from the auth handler.
Encore passes the error message on to the user when you use Encore's built-in error package, so we recommend using that with the error code Unauthenticated to communicate what happened. For example:
import "_URL_"
//encore:authhandler
func AuthHandler(ctx context.Context, token string) (auth.UID, error) {
 return "", &errs.Error{
 Code: errs.Unauthenticated,
 Message: "invalid token",
 }
}
Note that for security reasons you may not want to reveal too much information about why a request did not pass your auth checks. There are many subtle security considerations when dealing with authentication and we don't have time to go into all of them here. Whenever possible we recommend using a third-party auth provider; see Using Firebase Authentication for an example of how to do that.
Using auth data
Once the user has been identified by the auth handler, the API handler is called as usual. If it wishes to inspect the authenticated user, it can use the _URL_ package:
 - auth.Data() returns the custom user data returned by the auth handler (if any)
 - auth.UserID() returns (auth.UID, bool) to get the authenticated user id (if any)
For an incoming request from the outside to an API that uses the auth access level, these are guaranteed to be set since the API won't be called if the auth handler doesn't succeed.
If an endpoint calls another endpoint during its processing, and the original does not have an authenticated user, the request will fail. This behavior preserves the guarantees that auth endpoints always have an authenticated user.
Note that the auth handler is invoked for all requests that specify an auth token, which lets users optionally authenticate to public APIs. This can be useful in some circumstances to return additional information. The second return value from auth.UserID() can be used to determine if the request has an authenticated user.

Who was Ingrid Bergman?
Ingrid Bergman was an Academy award winning Swedish actress best remembered for her roles in 'Casablanca' and 'Notorious'. A much sought after star in Hollywood during the 1940s, she had been a successful actress in Swedish films before starring in American films. As an actress she was known for her punctuality and dedication towards her work. Unlike many of her contemporaries, Bergman was not known to wear much make-up or dress in expensive and elaborate attires. Born in Stockholm, Sweden, she had a very difficult childhood having lost both her parents when she was just a child. Even though shy as a youngster, she developed an interest in acting and enrolled at the Royal Dramatic Theater School to hone her acting skills. She excelled at the school and landed her first film role after just a year. She began her acting career as an extra and quickly graduated to more prominent roles. Eventually she caught the attention of Hollywood film producer David O. Selznick who was impressed by her acting skills and invited her to America. Thus she ventured into Hollywood and went on to have a highly successful career over the course of which she won three Academy Awards, two Emmy Awards, and four Golden Globe Awards.
Childhood & Early Life
Ingrid Bergman was born on 29 August 1915 in Stockholm, to a Swedish father, Justus Bergman, and his German wife, Frieda. Her father was an artist and photographer who documented all her birthdays.
Her mother died when Ingrid was just two years old. Her father too died within a few years and the little girl was sent to live with the family of an uncle and aunty.
She received her primary education from private schools. As a young girl, she developed an interest in acting and performed regularly in her school plays. She received a scholarship to the state-sponsored Royal Dramatic Theatre School in the 1930s.
She excelled at the school and proved herself to be a naturally talented actress. She received prominent roles in plays within one year of her joining. She was hired by a Swedish film studio during her first summer break and left the theatre to embark on a full-time acting career.

Ingrid Bergman won much acclaim for her role as Paula Alquist Anton in the mystery-thriller 'Gaslight' in which she played the role of a woman whose husband slowly manipulates her into believing that she's going insane.
Her portrayal of a suicidal amnesiac in the historical drama film 'Anastasia' won her several awards and accolades. The film marked Bergman's successful return to Hollywood after working for several years in Italy with her then-husband, Roberto Rossellini.
Awards & Achievements
Ingrid Bergman won the Academy Award for Best Actress for her roles in 'Gaslight' (1944) and 'Anastasia' (1956). She also won the award for Best Supporting Actress for 'Murder on the Orient Express' (1974).
She was the recipient of four Golden Globe Awards, including Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role for 'The Bells of St. Mary's' (1945), Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Motion Picture Drama for 'Anastasia' (1956), and Golden Globe Award for Best Actress – Miniseries or Television Film for 'A Woman Called Golda' (1982).
Personal Life & Legacy
Ingrid Bergman married Petter Aron Lindström, a medical professional, in 1937. The couple had one daughter. She developed an affair with Italian director Roberto Rossellini while still being married to Lindström and even gave birth to Rossellini's child.
Following the birth of this child, she divorced Lindström in 1950 and married Rossellini in Mexico. She had two more children with Rossellini before divorcing him in 1957.
In 1958, Ingrid Bergman married Lars Schmidt, a theatrical entrepreneur, and divorced him in 1975.
She suffered from breast cancer during the later years of her life and died on 29 August 1982 on her 67th birthday.

Ingrid Bergman's first acting role was a small part in 1935's 'Munkbrogreven'. She was well liked by the Swedish audiences and went on to act in many other movies over the following years.
In 1936, she appeared in the romantic drama 'Intermezzo'. Her brilliant performance in the film caught the attention of American film producer David O. Selznick who hired her to star in the English language remake of the film.
She made her Hollywood debut in 1939 with a role in 'Intermezzo: A Love Story'. Initially she was not much confident as she was not fluent in English. But the film went on to become a commercial as well as critical success, and this gave Ingrid the confidence to stay in Hollywood.
In 1942, she appeared with Humphrey Bogart in the classic film 'Casablanca' in which she portrayed the character of Ilsa, the beautiful Norwegian wife of Victor Laszlo. The role would become one of her best known ones.
She played the role of Maria in 'For Whom the Bell Tolls' (1943) which was her first color film. The movie was based on Ernest Hemingway's novel of the same title, and Hemingway had insisted that only Bergman should play the role of "Maria" as he was much impressed by the actress's skills.
Ingrid Bergman often collaborated with Alfred Hitchcock and appeared in several of his films including 'Spellbound' (1945), 'Notorious' (1946), and 'Under Capricorn' (1949). Her portrayal of Alicia Huberman in 'Notorious' was critically acclaimed.
The 1950s were marked by numerous personal scandals in her life and she was not much active on the professional front during the early years of the decade. After being away from Hollywood for a while, she returned to American films with a starring role in 'Anastasia' (1956).
She was more active on the stage during the 1960s and appeared in the film 'Cactus Flower' (1969), with Walter Matthau and Goldie Hawn after a long hiatus away from the screen.
In 1974, she played one of the suspects in the British mystery film 'Murder on the Orient Express' based on a novel by Agatha Christie. Bergman portrayed a middle-aged Swedish missionary returning to Europe on a fund-raising trip for her mission in Africa.
She appeared in her final film role in Ingmar Bergman's 'Autumn Sonata' in 1978. After quitting the big screen, she was offered the starring role in a television mini-series, 'A Woman Called Golda' (1982), about the late Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir. This was to be her final appearance on any kind of media.


Negative Selection with Antigen Feedback in Intrusion Detection

 Abstract
 One of the major challenges for negative selection is to efficiently generate effective detectors. The experiment in the past shows that random generation fails to generate useful detectors within acceptable time duration. In this paper, we propose an antigen feedback mechanism for generating the detectors. For an unmatched antigen, we make a copy of the antigen and treat it the same as a newly randomly generated antibody: it goes through the same maturing process and is subject to elimination due to self matching. If it survives and is then activated by more antigens, it becomes a legitimate detector. Our experiment demonstrates that the antigen feedback mechanism provides an efficient way to generate enough effective detectors within a very short period of time. With the antigen feedback mechanism, we achieved 95.21% detection rate on attack strings, with 4.79% false negative rate, and 99.21% detection rate on normal strings, 0.79% false positive. In this paper, we also introduce Arisytis: Artificial Immune System Tool Kits --- a project we are undertaking for not only our own experiment, but also the research communities in the same area to avoid the waste on repeatedly developing similar software. Arisytis is available on the public domain. Finally, we also discuss the effectiveness of the r-continuous bits match and its impact on data presentation.

Preceded by Canon of Judo
The Canon of Judo is a book was originally published in 1956, and written by Kodokan 10th dan, Kyuzo Mifune (_PHONE_). The book covers almost all of the Kodokan recognized techniques, adds variations and new techniques, including Do-Jime in passing as well. The book also describes fifteen Kata developed by Mifune to teach adaptation through reversal and counters. The book organizes the techniques differently from the official Kodokan Gokyo.
This book is based on new and revised material by the author made between the original publish date and the authors death.[1] The original book, "Canon of Judo", does not contain this information. Furthermore, the original book was translated by K. Sugai whose translations were poor at best. (For example, "Or this is to throw him down by foot sweeping instant before his advanced-feet are fixed in order to change his position or break your balance.")[2]
Subjects covered[edit]
The book gives a brief history of Jujutsu in Japan, and gives the lineage of Judo, referencing Jujutsu masters prior to Jigoro Kano. To show the early origins and continuous development of the martial arts in Japan, a long list of historical text sources, people, and schools and styles are mentioned.
In the book, Kyuzo Mifune explains his metaphysical view of Judo, its role in Japanese society (and the world), and benefits to the individual player. He notes that Judo initially only included throws, and explains the difference between Judo and Ju-jutsu. He discusses the role of competition in Judo, and the purpose of free practice, randori, and explains that it is an indispensable part of the sport.
Although the book mentions the five kata,[3]
 1. Nage (Throwing Forms)
 2. Kime (Forms of Decision)
 3. Katame (Grappling Forms)
 4. Ju (Forms of Gentleness)
 5. Koshiki (Ancient Forms)
it does not cover them. Furthermore, it does not cover Atemi-waza, but states that Atemi-waza include strikes, kicks, hits, and attacks using the fist, foot, elbow, kneecap, side of the palm, shoulder, or head, to attack the opponents vital points.
Lastly before going into each technique in detail, the book covers some basic concepts of techniques, such as Tai-sabaki (body control) and Hen-nou (adaptability). It can be surmised that throwing techniques have at least three phases:
 1. Kuzushi, balance breaking
 2. Tsukuri, positioning
 3. Kake, execution

How to Merge Two Or More Unknown Tables Into One Table In Oracle?
5 minutes read
To merge two or more unknown tables into one table in Oracle, you can use the following approach:
 1. Firstly, identify the tables that need to be merged and the common columns that can be used to join them.
 2. Create a new table with the desired structure to store the merged data.
 3. Use the UNION or UNION ALL operator to combine the data from the multiple tables into the new table. The UNION ALL operator retains duplicates, while the UNION operator removes duplicates.
 4. Use the INSERT INTO statement along with the SELECT statement to insert the merged data into the new table.
 5. Ensure that the data types and lengths of the columns being merged are compatible to avoid any data truncation or conversion errors.
 6. Test the merging process with sample data to verify that the data is being combined correctly.
 7. Once the merging process is successful, you can use the new table to access and analyze the merged data as needed.
How to verify the merged tables in Oracle?
To verify the merged tables in Oracle, you can use the following steps:
 1. Check the table structure: Verify that the columns and data types in the merged table are as expected. You can do this by running a query to describe the table structure, such as:
1
DESCRIBE merged_table_name;
 1. Check the data in the merged table: Verify that the data from the original tables has been successfully merged into the new table. You can do this by running a query to select data from the merged table and comparing it to the data from the original tables, like:
1
SELECT * FROM merged_table_name;
 1. Check for duplicates: Verify that there are no duplicate records in the merged table. You can do this by running a query to count the number of distinct records in the merged table, like:
1
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM (SELECT DISTINCT * FROM merged_table_name);
 1. Check for any errors or warnings during the merge process: Look for any error messages or warnings that were generated during the merge operation. You can do this by reviewing the output of the MERGE statement that was used to merge the tables.
By following these steps, you can verify that the merged tables in Oracle have been created successfully and contain the expected data.
How to merge tables from different schemas in Oracle?
To merge tables from different schemas in Oracle, you can use the Oracle Data Pump feature or the Oracle Database Link feature.
 1. Oracle Data Pump: Export the table from one schema using the expdp command. Import the exported table into the other schema using the impdp command. Example: expdp username1/password1@dbname schemas=schema1 directory=dpump_dir dumpfile=table1.dmp logfile=table1_exp.log impdp username2/password2@dbname schemas=schema2 directory=dpump_dir dumpfile=table1.dmp logfile=table1_imp.log
 2. Oracle Database Link: Create a database link from one schema to the other. Use the database link to select data from the table in the other schema and insert it into the local table. Example: CREATE DATABASE LINK link_name CONNECT TO username2 IDENTIFIED BY password2 USING 'dbname'; INSERT INTO schema1.table1 SELECT * FROM schema2.table2@link_name;
These are the two common methods to merge tables from different schemas in Oracle. Choose the method that best suits your requirements and access permissions.
How to consolidate data from multiple tables in Oracle?
There are several ways to consolidate data from multiple tables in Oracle. Here are two common methods:
 1. Using the UNION operator: The UNION operator is used to combine the result sets of two or more SELECT statements into a single result set. Here's an example query that uses the UNION operator to consolidate data from two tables:
1
2
3
4
5
SELECT column1, column2
FROM table1
UNION
SELECT column1, column2
FROM table2;
This query will combine the data from table1 and table2 into a single result set.
 1. Using JOIN clauses: JOIN clauses allow you to combine data from multiple tables based on a common key. There are several types of joins in Oracle, including INNER JOIN, LEFT JOIN, RIGHT JOIN, and FULL JOIN. Here's an example query that uses an INNER JOIN to consolidate data from two tables:
1
2
3
SELECT table1.column1, table1.column2, table2.column3
FROM table1
INNER JOIN table2 ON table1.common_key = table2.common_key;
This query will retrieve data from table1 and table2 where the common key values match.
These are just two methods for consolidating data from multiple tables in Oracle. Depending on your specific requirements, there may be other techniques or functions that are more suitable for your needs.
What is the correct order of merging tables in Oracle?
To merge tables in Oracle, you need to follow these steps in the correct order:
 1. Create a new table using the CREATE TABLE statement with the desired schema and columns.
 2. Insert data into the new table using the INSERT INTO statement to populate it with the necessary records.
 3. Merge the data from the existing table into the new table using the MERGE statement. This statement allows you to insert, update, or delete records based on specified conditions.
 4. Drop the existing table if needed using the DROP TABLE statement to remove it from the database.
 5. Rename the new table to the original table name if necessary using the RENAME statement.
By following these steps in the correct order, you can successfully merge tables in Oracle without losing any data or encountering errors.
What is the result of merging tables in Oracle?
When merging tables in Oracle, the result is a single table that combines the data from the two original tables based on a specified condition. The merge operation can update existing rows, insert new rows, or delete existing rows in the target table based on the data in the source table. This allows for the synchronization and consolidation of data from multiple tables into a single table.

Australia's largest vegetation management company is using cutting-edge mapping technology to combat a key cause of the dangerous bushfires and blackouts that plague the nation each year: severed powerlines. Using technology from Geographic Information System (GIS) specialists Esri Australia, Active Tree Services developed a high-tech vegetation monitoring and management system which layers detailed maps of electricity networks over weather and vegetation data.
Powerlines severed by falling branches during extreme weather have been linked to several bushfires in recent years, including the 2009 Victorian Black Saturday tragedy that claimed a total of 173 lives.
Over the past summer, fears that extreme heat and high winds would lead to severed powerlines and more bushfires led to electricity cuts in large parts of South Australia, while thunderstorms and scorching temperatures caused similar concerns in Victoria, Queensland and Western Australia.
Active Tree Services Chief Information Officer Justin Sheppherd said there was a need for a new approach to vegetation management.
"Trees around powerlines can lead to increases in the risk of electricity supply disruptions and bushfires," Mr Sheppherd said.
"Systems are needed to comprehensively identify and complete maintenance work to reduce these risks and meet compliance standards.
"GIS technology enables us to map large amounts of information about the condition and location of vegetation around powerlines, which in turn results in better reporting and clearer transparency about the risk to the network."
Mr Sheppherd said their GIS-driven vegetation management system allowed information to be uploaded directly to a centralised data portal.
"We then integrate this information with other layers of data displaying management histories, tree species and other factors," Mr Sheppherd said.
"The end result is a detailed picture of the state of the nation's electricity network – helping us ensure every branch along the powerlines we monitor is properly maintained."
Active Tree Services' vegetation management system will be on-show this September at Ozri 2012 - Australia's leading GIS technology event.
Ozri 2012 Technical Director Kellie Persson said Active Tree Services' had been selected to present at the conference as they showcase one of the most advanced and robust asset data collection and management systems in the world.
"Through their creative use of GIS technology, Active Tree Services have created an interactive, digital dashboard of their areas of operation – which provides a level of insight and situational awareness that previously wasn't available," Mrs Persson said.
"For example, while a current vegetation management cycle might dictate trees near powerlines in a certain area should be cut back every three years, other uncontrollable external factors may come into play, such as drought or flood.
"GIS technology enables Active Tree Services to analyse these scenarios and delay or bring forward the cycle, which results in a safer environment, reduces over or under-servicing and delivers more efficient resource use.
"It's a best practice asset management model that users from any industry can take inspiration from – and will certainly be a talking point amongst more than 500 leading GIS professionals attending Ozri 2012."
Hosted by Esri Australia, the market leader in Australia's $2.1 billion spatial industry, Ozri 2012 is the largest GIS conference in the Asia Pacific.

What Happens to LCD Display Modules When they Become Cold?
- Published on Monday, 02 August 2010 21:34
- Written by admin
What happens to LCD's when they become cold?
Liquid crystal displays are just like their name… they contain a liquid between two layers of glass. Liquids begin to freeze as the temperature drops. As the display freezes their response time slows down. In other words, it takes longer for the numbers and letters on the display to change (Turn ON or Turn OFF).
Above is a graph showing the response time of a display at -30°C (-22°F).
The best way I can think to explain this is a ceiling fan. When you turn off the ceiling fan the blades continue to turn for a few minutes, even though the power if OFF. When you turn ON a ceiling fan the blades will be at full speed in a shorter period of time. At most the blades will be at their max speed within 30 seconds. When talking about an LCD, we talk about when the display is ON (the characters can be seen) or OFF (the characters cannot be seen).
On the graph above there are two measurements. The left side is how dark the letters are; the larger the number the darker the letter. Along the bottom of the graph is the amount of time it takes to go from ON to OFF, or to go from OFF to ON. (Note: 1000mS is the same as 1 second).
Line 'A' displays the amount of time it takes for a character or segment on the display to turn OFF. That is, once you turn OFF the segment, how long does it take before it disappears? The graph above shows that the character actually 'disappears' 3500 milliseconds (3.5 seconds) after the display is turned OFF.
Line 'B' displays the amount of time it takes for the character or segment to turn ON. In the above graph the segment is only 55% 'ON' at 8000 milliseconds (8 seconds). That means the character is only ½ (half) ON. It will look grey and not very dark. It requires more time for the display to turn ON than to turn OFF… just the opposite of a ceiling fan.
We do not recommend operating our wide temperature (extended temperature) displays below -20°C (-4°F). This is true for all segment displays (static displays or glass displays), 7 (seven) segment, 14 (fourteen) segment and 16 (sixteen) segment LCD's.
Alphanumeric LCD displays such as: 8×1 LCD Display, 8×2 LCD Display, 16×1 LCD Display, 16×2 LCD Display, 16×4 LCD Display, 20×2 LCD Display, 20×4 LCD Display, 24×2 LCD Display, 40×1 LCD Display, 40×2 LCD Display, 40×4 LCD Display will react the same way.

Service cloud console by Salesforce provides a customer service solution that is designed to offer very effective customer service activities from anywhere.
Service cloud console is a Salesforce application for users who wants to work on multiple records at once or need to find, update and create records quickly. Service cloud provides a tabbed environment for the users to look at different grouping of records in one screen via Primary and Secondary tab.
The tab-based interface makes it easy for the customer service agents to see records and their related items together on one screen, as well as work on multiple items simultaneously.
Service cloud console optimize the agent experience by helping him to manage cases faster.
Service cloud console has a footer which gives access to Live Agent as well as CTI softphone (if licensed).
Features offered by Service cloud console
- It offers keyboard shortcuts which enables users to save time switching between tabs and saving information.
- It can include the Live Agent (Chat), Softphone (call) and several tabs including the Visualforce pages.
- It also provides an interaction log which allows agents to quickly create tasks whilst on the phone with customers.
- It is very easy to plug in custom Visualforce pages within the console and the ability to build custom integrations directly into the console making it very extensible.
- The refresh of one tab will not impact other open tabs.
Why to use Service Cloud Console
- It reduces the agent's response time by displaying customer information with a pop up window that provides all of their relevant information needed to address the Case.
- It eliminates switching between pages, to access data from different objects.
- It improves agent productivity by providing more context for the problem at hand.
- User will see records and their related items as tabs on one screen so that user never loses context or navigate too far from a record.
- We can easily integrate Live Agent and Soft Phone to Service cloud console.
Service Cloud Console also streamlines the process of customer interaction process by offering the following powerful tools:
Live Agent is a native Salesforce tool that provides the ability to interactively communicate with your web site users. Salesforce Live Agent was introduced into Salesforce platform in the Spring 12 release.
Live Agent enables real-time, online chat between an organization and its customers, prospects etc.
The chat sessions can be initiated via clicking a button or link on a web page, or via automated invitation based on page access metrics.
The information collected during the chat can then be saved into your Salesforce instance and reported on.
- User can save the transcript.
- User can manage multiple concurrent chats within the console.
- User can find and open existing records related to chats.
- Create new records based on incoming chats.
- Choose records or pages to open as sub tabs of each chat session.
- Attach a file to the chat session.
- Supervisor tab for monitoring one or more Agent chats.
- It is very convenient for a customer to resolve a query through chat, avoiding the usual frustrations of calling a support line and waiting for the turn.
- An expert team can efficiently manage multiple concurrent chats (routed by skill) which can hugely impact on the incoming call volume.
- The handling cost of a chat session is generally one third of the cost of a phone call resulting in huge cost benefits for the business.
CTI (Computer Telephony Integration)
CTI enables computers and telephone system to work together for enhanced communications between the two technologies and enables you to leverage computer-processing functions while making, receiving, and managing telephone calls.
CTI applications allow you to perform such tasks as retrieving customer information from a database on the basis of information that caller ID provides. CTI applications can also enable you to use information that an interactive voice response (IVR) system captures, so the call can be routed to the appropriate customer service representative and also the right information can be provided to the individual who is receiving the call.
- Make calls by dialing a number in the Softphone, choosing a number in an online directory, or clicking a phone number in any contact, lead, activity, or account.
- Receive calls.
- Quickly view all Salesforce records that are related to the call, such as contacts, cases, or accounts.
- Transfer calls.
- Attach records to calls.
- Generate automatic call logs.
- Add phone numbers to call center directories for future use.
- The Salesforce user interface is able to perform all the interaction management and the customer service.
- The system computer integration blends intelligently and routes the interaction of the customer service based on skills and availability.
- It can also allow agents to place, get and transfer the interactions directly in the Salesforce user interface.

Background and PurposeSubarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) has a high case fatality rate and young mean age at onset compared with other types of stroke, but the pathogenesis of SAH is not fully understood. We examined associations of systolic and diastolic blood pressure with incident nontraumatic SAH in a large prospective study in China. MethodsIn 2004 to 2008, 512 891 adults (59% women) from the general population were recruited into the CKB study (China Kadoorie Biobank). Participants were interviewed, measured, and followed up for fatal and nonfatal events. After excluding those with prior vascular disease, Cox regression analysis was used to relate blood pressure to incident SAH events. Analyses were adjusted for major confounders and corrected for regression dilution to give associations with long-term average blood pressure. ResultsAt baseline, mean age was 51 (SD, 11) years, and mean systolic blood pressure/diastolic blood pressure was 130.6/77.6 (SD, 21.0/11.1) mm Hg. During 3.5 million person-years of follow-up, there were 553 incident SAH cases (mean age at event, 61 [SD, 11] years), yielding an overall annual incidence rate of 12.9 per 100 000. Higher average levels of blood pressure were linearly and positively associated with higher risks of incident SAH: a 10 mm Hg higher systolic blood pressure and a 5 mm Hg higher diastolic blood pressure were associated with hazard ratios for SAH of 1.21 (95% CI, 1.13-1.29) and 1.20 (95% CI, 1.12-1.28), respectively. There was no evidence that the hazard ratios varied by age or sex or by levels of other vascular risk factors. Elevated blood pressure (systolic blood pressure, >120 mm Hg) accounted for 23% of all SAH cases. ConclusionsThe incidence of SAH in China was comparable with estimates from Western populations. Higher levels of blood pressure were positively associated with higher risks of SAH, and elevated blood pressure accounted for about a quarter of all SAH cases.

When it comes to high impact communication it is hard to surpass the power of TED. Not only are the pithy 17 minute presentations a mark of high credibility, the tight format and preparation that goes into a TED or even an affiliate TEDx speech results in an outcome that is destined to influence thousands (or even millions) of people for years to come. As an entrepreneur and especially as a communicator it is worth your while to hone the ability to "talk like TED" regardless of where you present. As a longer term goal, consider preparing and applying to speak at a TED or TEDx program as well.
In the meantime, here are 10 TED Talks that clearly qualify as ideas worth spreading. I invite you to listen, learn and share the following presentations that will inspire you to take positive actions right now:
1. Why You Should Let Your Fears Guide You | Leonard Kim
Chances are, you aren't fearless. And if you are, you may be missing a part of your amygdala, the reptilian portion of your brain. You may act fearless at times, but deep down inside, you're scared. But that's okay. In this talk at TEDxUCirvine, Leonard Kim shares the reasons you shouldn't run from your fears. Instead, you should use them to guide you.
2. Your body language may shape who you are | Amy Cuddy
You move around each day. Your body, whether you know it or not, is communicating a message to everyone you encounter, from your family, to your friends, colleagues and coworkers. It's also creating an image that is contributing to (or detracting from) your personal and professional brand. Instead of letting your natural body language define who you are, use Amy Cuddy's tips to redefine and take control of that image.
3. Borderline Millennial Disorder | Ryan Foland
You have probably seen studies and research that indicate social media is impeding your progress (and draining your time). But in Ryan Foland's talk, he provides three keys to using social media to accelerate, not hinder, your career.
4. Start with why | Simon Sinek
The "why" of your business or life is a powerful factor. For many, it is the driving force that propels their success, in both their personal and professional lives. By using Simon Sinek's method of starting with why, you can discover your own "why" and lay down a foundation that can influence the rest of your life.
5. The power of vulnerability | Brené Brown
This presentation is a personal favorite. When Brené Brown was first identified as a "storyteller," her ego wanted to get in her way. Her academic career made her want to be known as a researcher. Ultimately, however, she opened her perception to the bigger picture. In this talk, Brown covers the power of connection, shame, vulnerability and courage.
6. Teach girls bravery, not perfection | Reshma Saujani
Despite what the title may say, this talk is for both girls and boys. So many people are striving for perfection. Instead, they should cultivate the boldness to show off their work before it is perfected. In this talk, Reshma Saujani explains why we should be comfortable with imperfection. He advises listeners to be brave, not perfect.
7. Know your worth, and then ask for it | Casey Brown
We check our smartphones frequently, we set it down, and then we check one more time just to make sure we have no new messages. We know that we do this, and most of us do it often. But this behavior is causing problems that trickle through our entire society and culture. Daniel Midson Short reminds us to put our phones down and pay attention. His video explains why.
Each of these videos can make a direct impact on your life. I suggest you challenge yourself to watch one per day, for the next 10 days. Then take action, and share your results with others. This will raise the bar on your communication abilities as well.
