I found this definition for quantization on the internet. This is included for the right brained among you all. Needless to say it does nothing for me, but here it is.
"Quantization refers to the process of approximating the continuous set of values in the image data with a finite (preferably small) set of values. The input to a quantizer is the original data, and the output is always one among a finite number of levels. The quantizer is a function whose set of output values are discrete, and usually finite. Obviously, this is a process of approximation, and a good quantizer is one which represents the original signal with minimum loss or distortion."
If that sounds like French to you, then here it is in blog format.
What is quantization good for?
When we record our midi as we would record a performance, or record on the fly, often times some notes will be off. Selecting all of the midi notes from a performance, and quantizing them, will put the off timed notes where they should be. This can save us all time by not having to enter each midi note in by hand.
But what is quantization, and how does it work?
Quantization simply is the way in which we can take a bunch of midi notes that are all perhaps off time a little, and put them right on the grid, or "right in time". I use quantization in two different ways.
The first way is as I play (and record) the parts live, using a midi keyboard. After I have finished the section, I select all of the midi notes and then use quantization to correct any fast or slow notes. You only need to make sure that you are set u for the correct quantizatioe. If you are writting a quater note series, then make sure to quantize to quater notes.
The second way that I use quantization is as I use step record to enter in my midi information.
Step recording is simple enough to use, and it can make up some time also. Step recording is simply the entering midi notes one at a time, but the sequencer advances the cursor for you using the note values that you have selected.
If I had a bass line that consisted of a few bars of quater notes, in a series, that I might step record. I would make sure to set up the step record feature to advance by quater notes, leaving only the note (in octave) to enter. Each time that I play a note, the sequencer advances by one quater note, and then records the next note that I enter.
But how does one work with quantization?
I like using Reason software, and I use it to write a lot of my drum lines and bass parts. Using a midi keyboard I perfer to play the parts. I learned to use midi by entering each note one by one, but now I like to play them. After I am done with a certain part, I select the written notes, and quantize them. My whole writing process is sped up considerably.
Quantization in Reason is applied by first highlighting the parts that you wish to quantize, and then selecting "quantization" which is found under the "edit" tab.
Quantization works with a couple of parameters that you set it to. You can set it to quantize to any sort of note. It then uses that notes' speed as a guide to add the quantization, almost like a frequency setting. You can find the setting that works for your song by looking at the notes in the song itself. What notes are used with the hi-hat? Things like that can help you dial in the quantization, and don't be afraid to try different settings.

Cats in the Cradle – What Does That Phrase Mean?

The phrase "Cats in the Cradle" is a familiar one to most everyone, but it is a phrase that brings about mixed emotions. Is the cat being in the cradle a good thing or a bad thing? Does the image bring about feelings of family and childhood or danger and death? Let's investigate some of the myths and truths surrounding cats living with babies and you can decide for yourself what this means to you.
Harry Chapin's Song
American singer/songwriter Harry Chapin's famous song has made the phrase famous. "Cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon, little boy blue and the man on the moon..." The song was actually written by Chapin's wife Sandy, a poet and a writer. She wrote the words for the song for their son Joshua before he was born. She showed them to her husband but Chapin wasn't too interested in it at the time. However, once his son was born, Chapin realized the power of the words and what they meant to him personally. He recorded the song and it became the best known of all of his work.
"Cat's in the Cradle" tells the story of a father who is too busy to spend time with his growing son. Despite the fact that the father is constantly putting off quality time with his son, the son sees his father as a role model and a fine example of who he wants to grow up to be. In the end the son does grow up to be just like the father and as the aging patriarch reaches out to his son for quality time, his boy is simply to busy with his family. The refrain uses the phrase "cat's in the cradle" and these words bring up images of a young family and the short and sweet the time of infancy. However, a cat in the cradle wasn't always a warm and fuzzy image.
Take my Breath Away
Have you heard the old wives' tale of how cats can steal a baby's breath? Chances are it's a familiar story to you if you have had children. It is a story that even today crops up in forums and from well-meaning, but uneducated advice givers. Expectant mothers are often told that they need to get rid of their cats before the baby comes. But are cats really dangerous to babies?
According to the strength of this story may be traced to a 1791 jury that rendered a verdict in England that a Plymouth child had been killed from a cat sucking away its breath. In actuality there was likely no obvious cause for the infant's death and so the jury passed the blame onto the cat, because of course back then, everyone knew that cats might suck a child's breath away.
A 1929 article in the Nebraska State Journal also quoted a doctor who supposedly witnessed a cat actually sucking an infant's breath. He describes "the family pet in the very act of sucking a child's breath, lying on the baby's breast a paw on either side of the babe's mouth, the cat's lips pressing those of the child and the infant's face pale as that of a corpse, its lips with the blueness of death."
Today we are familiar, although still mystified, by Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). It leaves you to wonder if these children didn't die of SIDS and the nearby cat was the best explanation for the death. Cats are curious creatures and the crib is a warm cozy place. It would be easy for them to be implicated in the murder.
However, all of these evil or jealous cat stories are a lot of hooey. It is unlikely that a cat would even suffocate a child accidentally. In fact, I myself grew up sleeping with the cat in my crib. Accidental scratching is a more likely concern and mothers should always keep an eye on their young children when they interact with the cat, whether it's in the cradle or elsewhere. Of course, it's easy enough to keep the cat out of the nursery if there are any concerns. For me, "cats in the cradle" makes me fondly remember a childhood surrounded by animals. How about you?

Site Identification - Entrance Sign
Unlike the other standard road signs, this sign is not located within the public road right of way. The Site Identification sign is used at the entrance to a historic site, segment, or interpretive facility, so that the public knows when they have arrived at a place on the national historic trail. These signs will be located at the entrance to the property and because each property is unique, these signs are site specific. This sign can be added to an existing sign (see example above) or customized with images or logos. Each sign will require working directly with the landowner and NTIR office to determine the requirements for this sign.

Interaction élastique dislocation – joints interphases dans des matériaux de structure cubique à faces centrees
MetadataAfficher la notice complète
The majority of materials mechanical properties are due to the crystalline defects interactions, in particular the interaction between dislocations and interfaces. The interaction energy between a dislocation and an interphase boundary is calculated on the basis of the anisotropic linear elasticity. Dislocations in elastic interaction with the interphase boundary are submited to a force called the image force, Fi,which is derived from the elastic interaction energy. The image force by its sign and intensity can predict the dislocation behavior. The elastic interaction energies are calculated for biphase bicrystals CFC materials, Pb, Al, Au, Ag, Cu and Ni, between matrix dislocations having Burgers vector b = a/2, and interphase boundaries (R, ), with R = and is in the range [0 °, 90 °] varying by steps of 10 °. Dislocations are located in the crystal 1 at a distance d from the boundary plane, they are parallel to the boundary plane. The main results are: - For each bicrystals family, the intensity of the image force Fi increases with shear moduli difference. It may be null for some dislocations, in bicrystals having elastic and crystallographic parameters very close. - The dislocation motion under image force effect depends on the value of if: > 1, all dislocations in the softest crystal are repelled far from the interface. <-1, all dislocations in the harder cristal, are attracted to the interface. -1 <1, the located dislocation in the crystal 1 can be attracted, repulsed or don't suffers no image force. The number and the character of dislocations with, Fi = 0, is related to the two crystals nature and disorientation. - The image force Fi is constant for a screw dislocation parallel to the rotation axis. - The isoenergy cards have different symmetries according to the bicristal disorientation. - For each bicrystal family, image force distance effectiveness is related to absolute value of shear moduli difference. - The position of the dislocation and the image forces sense Fi-Sh1 et Fi-Sh2 favoured recombination of partial dislocations or dissociation of the perfect screw dislocation.

Our top three samples all had learning rates around 1/10³. Most of our other samples plateaued at around 46% - 47% accuracy.
hyperopt-report-state-size-vs-accuracy
State sizes around the middle (600) have very consistent performance at around 45% - 47% accuracy, while state sizes closer to the edges (300 and 900) have a greater variance in results that produce some of our best and some of our worst samples.
hyperopt-report-rnn-cell-vs-accuracy
The LSTM cell has the best average performance as indicated by the white dot and the vertical black line, and also achieves the best performance. The RNN cell performs competitively, while the GRU performs worse.
hyperopt-report-number-of-encoder-layers-vs-accuracy
There doesn't seem to be any obvious trends in the relationship between number of layers and accuracy, although the best performing samples have used 3 or 5 layers. It is possible that we would need more hyperparameter samples in order to observe a clear trend.
Hiplot
Ludwig also provides an integration with hiplot, which helps us visualize high-dimensional data through a parallel coordinate plot in an interactive webpage, where each hyperparameter has a vertical axis and a hyperparameter sample is plotted as a line passing through the axes, with a color dependent on the accuracy score.

 - Encoder layers: 5
 - Cell type: lstm
 - State size: 385
We achieved an accuracy of 49.5% which is better than the 45.7% accuracy achieved in the original Recursive Deep Models for Semantic Compositionality Over a Sentiment Treebank paper by Socher et al. It is also slightly better than the 49.3% accuracy obtained by the Bi-LSTM model trained with default hyperparameters in Part 1.

In this post, we've seen how to perform hyperparameter optimization on a Recurrent Neural Network using Ludwig's hyperopt module. Ludwig is a great toolkit for data scientists and machine learning engineers to use because it allows them to focus solely on the ML/DL aspect of their jobs. They can translate their intentions into a more user-friendly configuration file without having to worry about the code implementation.We encourage you to check out the documentation to learn more and to become engaged with the Ludwig open source community.

text: In another thread, I explained that it is easy to show that the function defined by f(x) = x, if x is rational; 0, if x is irrational, approaches 0 at 0 using epsilon-delta. However, I am stuck in trying to show that f does not approach any number at a if a =/= 0 using the epsilon-delta definition for limits (NOT the sequential definition, which I will learn soon). Assuming the fact that the rationals and irrationals are dense in the reals, it's easy to show that f does not approach any number near a for the function f(x) = 1, if x is rational; 0 if x is irrational. But when x is allowed to vary, I'm not sure which epsilon I should be choosing. I always end up with two sets of inequalities that do not seem to lead to a contradiction. Any hints are appreciated.

Not yet set in stone
Quincy granite gave rise to the nation's monuments. Now there's a push to give it, and those who worked it, their due.
A group of Quincy residents is pushing to build a Quincy quarry and granite workers museum, saying it fears a big piece of the city's history will be lost unless action is taken to preserve it.
Quincy was once known as the Granite City. Its quarries produced stone used in many of the nation's public monuments; grand public buildings from the Palmer House in Chicago to customs houses in Boston, Savannah, and San Francisco; lighthouses such as Minot's Ledge Light; and fortifications such as Fort Warren in Boston Harbor.
The West Quincy pits mined for the hard, handsome stone used in the Bunker Hill Monument in the 1820s initiated a 140-year run of quarrying in the Blue Hills, providing stone-cutting work for immigrants from Italy, Ireland, Sweden, Germany, and Finland. The Bunker Hill Quarry, among the West Quincy pits, provided the impetus for the nation's first commercial railroad, the Granite Railway, which ran 3 miles to the banks of the Neponset River, where stone was carried by water to Charlestown to build the monument honoring the Revolutionary War battle.
Testifying to its national importance, the quarry site where proponents plan to locate the Quincy Quarry and Granite Workers Museum has three listings on the National Register of Historic Places: its Granite Railway terminus, the Granite Railway incline, and the Lyons Turning Mill.
But official recognition has not been followed by action. Funding for a museum was supposed to be part of the deal when the city agreed to lease land in Quarry Hills to the Granite Links Golf Club 17 years ago, but no financing emerged when the deal took its final shape, said Alfred Bina, president of the museum group.
Today the quarries are visited primarily by rock climbers, and the pits are covered by graffiti. Some of the quarries are on state park land. The state created a Quincy Quarries Historic Site trail in the area 20 years ago, but the trail markers have fallen into disrepair because of the state's chronic underfunding of its parks.
"This part of Quincy's history is being lost to future generations,'' the museum group warns in its mission statement.
The city of Quincy has been slow to act on a museum, agrees Vic Campbell of the Massachusetts Bay Railroad Enthusiasts, a group of railroad history buffs who spoke about the beginnings of the Granite Railway at a meeting held in October by the museum group. "It seems that when it comes to the Adamses, nothing that anyone can think of is too much. When it comes to the quarries, nothing is too neglectful,'' Campbell said.
While city officials agree a quarry museum would be a plus for the city, creating one has not been a priority for recent administrations. Mayor Thomas Koch said last month the plans for a quarry museum were in the hands of Bina's citizens group.
The nation's large-scale granite quarrying industry was born here in 1825, when the architect who submitted the winning design for the Bunker Hill Monument - Solomon Willard - selected West Quincy as the source of stone for the memorial. Quincy's granite was selected for its hardness and durability, dark color tone, and ability to take a high polish. Needing a great deal of stone to build the 220-foot obelisk, Willard developed new construction techniques that turned the local granite into a practical building material.
As demand for Quincy granite grew, quarrying developed into a thriving industry and played a significant role in the economic and social development of the area. More than 50 quarries operated in Quincy, employing thousands of workers over nearly a century and a half. Quarrymen split granite with hand tools such as chisels, wedges, and drills before the introduction of steam drills in the 1880s.
The lengthy Bunker Hill construction also ushered in the first true commercial railroad in America. Engineered by Gridley Bryant, whose innovations are still in use in railroads elsewhere, the Granite Railroad made it possible for horse-drawn cars to carry tons of granite over the rails at a rate of 5 miles per hour, on a route similar to that of today's Southeast Expressway.
The railroad's construction and engineering techniques were studied by engineers and investors from around the country who sought to bring the new means of transportation to their own states.
The group pushing the museum wants to build it next to the remaining walls of the Lyons Turning Mill on Quarry Hills Drive, Bina said. Once the best-equipped mill in New England for turning and polishing 22-foot columns and 6-foot granite balls, the structure was 200 feet long and housed a huge derrick to move stone.
The museum would exhibit artifacts and photos related to quarrying, manufacturing stone products, transporting stone, and buildings made from Quincy granite. A museum on the site of the former quarry would also draw added visitors, the group said, creating "more historical points within the city to enhance tourism and enhance the area of Quarry Hills Drive.''
So far the group has collected donated tools, photos, and lots of historical information, said Bina, a retired chemical engineer with West Quincy roots who described himself as a "rookie'' in the area's quarry history.
Incorporated a year ago, the Quincy Quarry and Granite Workers Museum is registered with the state as a nonprofit group and is in the process of applying for federal nonprofit status. Acquiring federal status as a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization is needed to draw corporate donors and allow the group to begin serious fund-raising, Bina said.

Mass of fire, Speed of sight
Q: In my science class we have learned about mass, and I'm just wondering, does fire have any mass? It has stumped all the teachers I asked (even my science teacher), and I would really like to know. (Jimmy, Sioux City, Iowa)
A: Fire is a series of actions and changes that produces a result ó a process. In fact, it is an oxidation process (called combustion or burning) that gives out heat and light energy as well as glowing gas and a small amount of plasma.
The flame color depends on the temperature of the hot burning gasses and the material that burns. Courtesy of the US Forest Service and Wikipedia
So, talking about fire's mass is like talking about the mass of digestion, or boiling, or getting a driver's license ó although it certainly makes us think about what fire is. But a process doesn't have mass.
Flames are another matter. They are burning gases and gasses certainly do have mass.

Q: I heard at 100 mph what seems to be in front of you is actually behind you because of how fast your eyes receives images. Is this true, and if so how? What speed can your eyes keep up with? (Joe, Virginia Beach, Virginia)
A: Our eyes see faster than you think they do. The entire process ó from light entering the eye to the brain perceiving the image ó takes a mere 50 milliseconds (one sixth of an eye blink). See WonderQuest's speed of human sight.

Fifty milliseconds isn't much time, but it is time. So no matter how slowly you go, you will travel some distance during that time. At 100 mph (160 km/h), you'll cover 7 feet (2 m). At any speed, your side peripheral vision will pick up objects that are actually behind you. How much difference does that make? Not much. In fact, not much even going 300 mph (480 km/h).
"We reach speeds up to 300 mph (when entering the track)," says Kirby Chambliss, aerobatic champion and winner of the 2006 Red Bull Air Race. "The only time I have trouble seeing the pylons is when I am pulling 11 to 12 G due to tunnel vision. If you are on a straight part of the track it is no problem to see the pylons even at 300 mph." Video of the race.
"...if we focus or try to see the pylons as we go through them [at speeds of about 200 mph (320 km/h)], they would actually be behind us by the time our brain could return a control input," says Mike Mangold, 2005 RBAR world champion. "As I approach a gate, I position my aircraft to fly through what I perceive to be the center of the gate. I do not see the pylons as I go in between them because I am already looking ahead to the next computation. If I look too far ahead, then my ability to accurately position my airplane degrades." Mike looks about one second ahead, which is approximately 300 feet (90 m).
Kirby and Mike travel up to 35 feet (10 m) during 50 milliseconds, and can judge distances ahead well enough that a 35-foot discrepancy doesn't matter. What speed your eyes can keep up with depends on how accurately you need to know your position.

The German surname of SHUSTER was an occupational name for a turner, originally derived from the Middle German word SCHUSSEL, meaning a small wooden bowl. The name was also adopted by Ashkenazic Jews. Many of the modern family names throughout Europe reflect the profession or occupation of their forbears in the Middle Ages and derive from the position held by their ancestors in the village, noble household or religious community in which they lived and worked. The addition of their profession to their birth name made it easier to identify individual tradesmen and craftsmen. As generations passed and families moved around, so the original identifying names developed into the corrupted but simpler versions that we recognise today. The name is also spelt SCHOTTE, SCHOTTLER, SCHUSSEL and SCHOTELDREYER. The first hereditary surnames on German soil are found in the second half of the 12th century, slightly later than in England and France. However, it was not until the 16th century that they became stabilized. The practice of adopting hereditary surnames began in the southern areas of Germany, and gradually spread northwards during the Middle Ages. A notable member of the name was Sir Arthur SCHUSTER (_PHONE_) the British physicist, born in Frankfurt of Jewish parents. He studied at Heidelberg and Cambridge, and became professor of applied mathematics (1881) and physics (_PHONE_) at Manchester. He carried out important pioneer work in spectroscopy and terrestrial magnetism. The word Heraldry is derived from the German HEER, (a host, an army) and HELD, (champion): the term BLASON, by which the science is denoted in French, English, Italian and German, has most probably its origin in the German word 'BLAZEN' (to blow the horn). Whenever a new knight appeared at a Tournament, the herald sounded the trumpet, and as competitors attended with closed vizors, it was his duty to explain the bearing of the shield or coat-armour belonging to each. Thus, the knowledge of the various devices and symbols was called 'Heraldry'. The Germans transmitted the word to the French, and it reached England after the Norman Conquest of 1066.

The World Bank is providing a loan and GEF grant to the Republic of Moldova to implement a sustainable farming programme focused on promoting agricultural exports through the enhancement of sustainable land management practices.
1 May 2012: The World Bank has approved a US$18 million credit and US$4.4 million Global Environment Facility (GEF) grant to provide funding for a programme in Moldova aimed at supporting the competitiveness of the agro-food sector.
The main goals of the Moldova Agricultural Competitive Project are to modernize the food safety management system, create more market accessibility for farmers, and mainstream agro-environmental and sustainable land management (SLM) practices. The World Bank and GEF funding will also serve to provide regulatory and institutional support for agricultural growth and export competitiveness.
According to the World Bank, the project will not only support Moldova's economic growth model, but it will do so in conformity with the principles of sustainable growth. It is expected to generate environmental benefits, such as carbon sequestration, reduced land degradation and pollution from agro-chemicals, and better soil management practices.

中文文档 _URL_
A cloud-based clipboard, yank(copy) text into a numbered cloud register on a machine, put(paste) the text from the cloud register on another machine.
It uses GITHUB's gist as the cloud service.
# Usage
1. run command ':CBInit' to set up your own cloudboard.
2. visual select the text that you want to copy (otherwise all the current buffer), use command ':CBYank 0' to copy it into cloud register 0.
_URL_
3. open vim on another machine, use command ':CBPut 0' to paste the text from cloud register 0.
_URL_
### Cloud Register
The number starts from 0, you can use anyone you'd like, for example:
 :CBYank 5
 :CBPut 5
':CBList' to put the contents from all cloud registers into current buffer.
#### Auto Clear of Cloud Registers
When AutoClear is turned on for a cloud register, the content of the cloud register will be cleared automatically after its content is read by a 'CBPut' action.
':CBAutoClear 2' to toggle on/off AutoClear of cloud register 2.
### Cloud Files
Cloud files are named files stored in a GITHUB gist.
 :CBSave test.c to save selected range into a cloud file named test.c.
 :CBLoad test.c to load a cloud file test.c into current buffer.
 :CBRm test.c to delete a cloud file test.c.
 :CBListFiles to list all cloud files in the cloudboard gist.
Loading cloud files requires two requests to GITHUB, thus cloud register is faster to be used as a clipboard across machines.
Cloud files is better when the text is huge, especial in case of that you prefer to save them for long period.
### Recommended Mappings

What Are the Main Costs of Hiring in Africa
Back to Knowledge Central
 Apr 25, 2020 Markets Africa Blueback Global
What Are the Main Costs of Hiring in Africa
Fortunately, Blueback Global can help your business overcome these challenges. Here are just a few considerations when hiring in Africa.
Recruitment Costs
The accepted standard measurement of hiring is the cost-per-hire metric. It calculates internal and external costs associated with sourcing, recruiting and filling open positions in your company.
Internal costs are money spent inside your company for hiring in Africa. This might include recruiter salaries, overhead, and hardware and software for tracking applicants.
External costs generally include items such as advertising and marketing, third-party hiring agencies, recruitment events, travel, background and reference checks, and more.
In 2016, a SHRM survey estimated the average cost per hire was $4,425, or approximately 15% percent of all HR-related expenses. That's substantial, but you do have options for filling jobs in Africa to minimize expense and to simplify the hiring process.
Our experienced global expansion agency can recommend what would work best for your business. They have the knowledge and foresight to reduce risk, so your business isn't blindsided by unexpected expenses.
Labor Law Compliance Expenses
The International Labor Organization reports most African nations ratified basic human rights conventions. However, areas such as minimum wages, social security, occupational safety and health, and other legislative issues are less defined in many regions.
Consequently, labor laws change often and quickly. South Africa recently moved from a recommended to a mandatory minimum wage in 2018. Nigeria is currently discussing changes to their minimum wage law too.
Labor laws are always in flux; nonetheless, foreign businesses must adhere to local and regional laws for workers in Africa.
Large corporations may have the HR resources to monitor legislative changes, yet smaller enterprises can find this a significant challenge unless they rely on a global partner to ensure compliance in Africa.
Bureaucratic Costs
Some African countries encourage foreign business and simplify the startup process. Others make it very difficult, and expensive, to establish and operate a company within their borders.
According to Forbes' Best Countries for Business, the small East African island of Mauritius is a better choice than many European countries. Ranked 39th globally, they have progressive business policies to spur economic growth.
Compare that to the landlocked Central African Republic, ranked 161st. They lack proper transportation, a skilled workforce, political stability, and sound economic policies.
It may be worthwhile to jump through bureaucratic hoops when potential profits merit it. Many factors can derail your international expansion plans if you're not aware of issues that could affect your business.
Blueback Global experts can help you choose the region best-suited for your company, so you can avoid excessive bureaucratic costs. Get the workers you need quickly and reduce startup expenses and costs of hiring in Africa.
Tax Compliance
An effective, well-developed tax system makes it easier to operate in Africa. It lowers operational risk and ensures stability for infrastructure, fair treatment, and governmental transparency.
Many African countries make it difficult to manage and submit taxes. They lack the technology and infrastructure needed.
Fortunately, some countries are progressive and have simplified tax compliance. A PWC report mentions Kenya now an I-Tax system for filing and paying taxes online. Mauritania has simplified tax compliance and decreased the number of tax filings or payments.
Tax avoidance and evasion are still a major problem in many African nations. As a result, governments collect less tax than needed, which creates economic and social instability.
For example, The Globalist reports only "9% of Nigerian companies pay corporate tax, while only 12% of registered businesses comply with VAT obligations."
While this may sound like a great way for a foreign company to reduce expenses, it isn't. The Globalist adds almost all Nigerian businesses are unregistered, which isn't an option for foreigners. This puts foreign business at a distinct disadvantage from the get-go.
Additionally, corporate tax rates vary drastically between regions. 2018 Tax Foundation data, states the country of Comoros in Africa has one of the highest corporate tax rates on the planet (50%).
Blueback Global can recommend the best areas for your business. We also have in-country experts tracking regulatory changes and requirements to manage tax compliance and reduce your costs of hiring in Africa.
Trade Area
Most countries in Africa have joined The African Continental Free Trade Area, making it the largest trade coalition in the world. This is important for foreign businesses as once fully-ratified; it will remove tariffs from 90% of goods, allowing free access to commodities, goods, and services across the continent.
Additionally, the arrangement could offer new opportunities in areas such as manufacturing and agriculture, boost employment, and encourage free movement of the African talent pool.
As of April 2019, Benin, Botswana, Eritrea, Guinea-Bissau, Nigeria, and Zambia are not part of the agreement. Consequently, operating in these nations could increase a company's costs of hiring in Africa.
Mandatory Contributions
African countries also demand mandatory contributions borne by the company. These include social security contributions such as unemployment, solidarity, public pension, housing, and education funds.
Legislations vary widely between African nations and change often. For instance, Tunisia recently introduced an additional corporate income tax contribution of 7.5% of taxable profits.
UHY International suggests Nigeria's average employment costs are higher than the U.S., Canada, and many European countries.
Choosing the best African country for your business must include a review of mandatory corporate contributions. Fortunately, your business may have options to reduce or eliminate many of the costs of hiring in Africa.
Labor Relations
Some areas of Africa rely heavily on labor unions. As an example, South Africans have a legal right under the constitution to join a trade union and they represent 25% of the formal work force.
Unions can strike, and most of the strikes in the public sector are driven by wage disputes. For instance, in 2014 platinum workers went on strike demanding at immediate doubling of their wages. Even though they eventually settled for much less over three years, it was the longest and most expensive strike in South African history.
In 2012, a series of strikes for higher wages and improved employment opportunities were even more noteworthy. Agricultural strikes by Western Cape Farm Workers' led to 3 deaths, millions of dollars in damages, and a 52% increase in the official minimum wage.
Not all African governments treat workers fairly, even when they make agreements with unions. They may renege on promises of wage increases or reforms.
As a result, it is very important your business understands which African regions offer favorable business opportunities, and which to avoid for minimal costs of hiring in Africa.
Blueback Global is your international business expansion expert. We offer African business expansion advice and services including business set up, global payroll, accounting and reporting, statutory compliance, immigration support, recruitment and hiring, and more.
With a network of African professionals each with regional knowledge and local business savvy, we simplify doing business in Africa. We're well-positioned, highly-experienced, and can help you overcome your multinational business challenges.

Whether you are decorating for an "under the sea" party or creating a goldfish-inspired bedroom for your child; creating lively goldfish paper lanterns is an easy and colorful way to spice up any room.
Method 1 of 2: Gather Your Supplies
1Purchase large, colorful paper lanterns. Many craft stores carry them, but also home stores stock large Japanese paper lanterns. Although almost always offered in white, look for lanterns in nautical/colorful hues such as blues, oranges and yellows.Ad
2Pick up matching colored cardstock and white and black felt. You will also need a hot glue gun to affix the cardstock and felt to the lantern. The white and black felt will be used to create the fish's bit round eyes and the cardstock will be cut out and attached as the tail.
3Pick up clear fishing wire if your paper lantern does not come equipped with a kit for hanging. Consider how you will hang the lanterns too and plan accordingly (for example, if you need a hook or nails to mount it to the ceiling).Ad
Method 2 of 2: Create Your Hanging Goldfish
1Measure the paper lantern to determine the fishtail size. You will want the tail to be in proportion to the size of the lantern.
2Create the goldfish tale by tracing a "wavy" heart shape on the cardstock to match the size of the lantern.
- Use the measurements to determine the overall tail size. You want the tail to be slightly smaller than the lantern and large enough that it shows but can stand on its own.
- Lightly sketch the shape with a pencil until you achieve the desired design. You may want to use the initial tail shape as a template so subsequent tails match.
- Cut out the shape and leave approximately 1" to 2" around the base. You will be attaching the tail to the lantern at the tail base so you will need extra room.
3Attach the tail to the lantern. You will want the tail to appear as though it was created with the lantern.
- Fold the extra paper along the base approximately 1/2". You will attach the tail to the lantern by gluing the fold to the lantern.
- Place several drops of hot glue along the fold and press firmly against the lantern. Hold in place for two to five minutes or until you are confident it has adhered.
4Create the fish's eyes. You will be making one large circle using the white felt and then creating a smaller half-moon circle with the black.
- Cut out a large circle to represent the white's of the fish's eyes. You can go a little larger for a "cartoon" goldfish effect.
- Cut out a half-moon circle (or half circle) to fit along the bottom of the white circle. The black represents the fish's actual eye.
- Glue the white circle 2/3 toward the top of the lantern using hot glue. Hold in place until it adheres.
- Glue the black circle on top of the white, along the bottom of the circle. Use several drops of glue in order to ensure the eye stays in place.
5Tie the fishing wire around the wire structure around the top and hang. This step depends on how you plan to hang the lantern and where. You can either tie the other end of the fishing wire to a lamp or hanging light in the room or you can make it more permanent and use a picture hanging kit to hang it.
We could really use your help!
- Create a goldfish family and purchase paper lanterns in a variety of sizes.

Primary-level intervention to check exploitation of resources
The government has empowered panchayat-level Biodiversity Management Committees (BMCs) to keep tabs on the state of the environment at the local level and report violations of environmental laws and regulations.
A Government Order issued by the Principal Secretary, Environment, has handed down a fresh mandate to the BMCs to alert officials in the department to environmentally disruptive activities. The order translates into a grassroots-level intervention to ensure speedy action against unregulated exploitation of natural resources and arrest the depletion of biodiversity.
Citing the recommendations of the Assembly committee on environment, the order proposes that the BMCs be given the responsibility to act as 'Environment Protection Groups.' The committees have been directed to inform the authorities about violations of environmental laws and any activity that could result in ecological degradation, create a public health hazard, or pose a threat to human life. These include unauthorised sand-mining and illegal operation of quarries and development projects. The BMCs will also have to take the leadership to organise health and sanitation programmes. The order instructs the BMCs to restore, protect, and ensure the sustainable utilisation of water resources at the panchayat level. BMCs have been tasked with organising awareness programmes.
They have also been given the mandate to constantly monitor the state of the environment and alert the authorities and recommend conservation activities for inclusion in the panchayats' annual Plan. The district-level Technical Support Group constituted by the Kerala State Biodiversity Board will extend support to the BMCs to keep tabs on the environment. The order directs the government officials concerned at the local level to initiate timely action on the recommendations of BMCs.


I hate pandas
This report reminded me why I hate pandas.
I mean, why is an animal without the sense to eat anything more nutritionally valuable than bamboo shoots and won't even screw to save its species so uncritically loved by 99% of the world's humans? Pandas are ABSOLUTELY USELESS CREATURES.
Pandas are TOO FUSSY. Only a small number of bamboo species are acceptable dinner to them, and they change their minds all the time. No species with such food faddisms deserves to be exempted from Darwinism.
Pandas are STUPID. Just sitting around expecting the food to come to them? Pandas have a ridiculous sense of entitlement: if they were human, they'd be stars of CCTV and reality shows, and we'd be deriding them as lazy trailer trash. They're the chavs of the animal world.
Pandas DON'T REPRODUCE. You'd think that when breeding seasons are few and far between, they'd at least be able to make the effort for a night or two. But apparently romance is dead in panda country. Few pandas show any interest in sex, and it can't be just because they all look the same. Or are they just too selfish to bring fresh pandas into the world?
And lastly, saving useless pandas TAKES RESOURCES AWAY from creatures who'd be more grateful. Many termite species are in trouble, but – because termites don't look out at you from a fat furry face with big soulful black eyes, nobody cares about termites. And yet termites are AMAZING creatures. Just a few thousand neurons each, yet together they build architecture whose equivalent human scale would be buildings the size of Everest. Termites are incredible. And yet some species are in terminal decline. All because of those bastard pandas.
I hate pandas.

 1. Because of people like you pandas are almost extinct. If everybody had that same additude then there would be no such thing as opptimism your just a self seeking pesmisit who doesnt care about animals. Pandas may not do anything but alot of animals dont do anything. Heres some advice get s job other than bagging on pandas they didnt do anything to you GET OVER YOUR SELF!
 - Not true. A LOT of animals do something. Wolves are constantly on the move, looking for prey and actually taking care of their young unlike some pandas here. Horses, cows, elephants. All those animals DO something! Pigs, ants, birds, fish. A panda is just DUMB. It's people like YOU that waste precious money on stupid pandas. That money could be going to other animals who would use it better! YOU get over yourself! Learn your panda facts! They're NOT WORTH IT. I'm an animal lover and have been all my life. I'm obsessed with animals, but even I know when an animal doesn't deserve to be on this planet.
 2. I totally agree.
 1. Pandas ditch their babies A LOT because they're too stupid and lazy. Hear that panda lovers? THEY'RE HORRIBLE PARENTS!!
 2. They are fat and lazy.
 3. All they do is eat all the time. They have ZERO personality. Why like an animal just for looks?
 4. They waste SOOO much money! Save the tiger! Or whale! C'mon, at least those animals are smart and resourceful! It's like giving money to a fat lazy slob who just burns your money but you give money to him anyway cuz he's cute! In so doing, you're killing the other kid who's super smart and could use ur money to create a small buisness. UGH.
 I WISH ALL PANDAS WERE EXTINCT ALREADY!!! Why are they — how are they — still alive?! They're so frickin DUMB!
 p.s. did you know they can't even count to 3? Dogs and squirrels and etc can. In a lab scientists did, the panda FAILED.
 3. Did you know that pandas are actually CARNIVORES? but they're so LAZY they can't stand to lift a fucking finger to hunt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thats why they have to eat so fucking much! Ugh i HATE PANDAS!
 4. dO you own a life? discriminating against any animal on your blog is just wrong … what good will this seriously bring to you? grow a dick and suck it.
 5. I agree with most of the negatives regarding the wonderful,cute,adorable,precious Pandas! They are stubborn,bloated,useless creatures; also ill tempered,and to me they always appear dirty around their undercarriages! Ugh!!!
 6. If only we could get people to enjoy polar bears as much as panda's then maybe we could keep a worthwhile creature around.

First Year Interest Groups (FIGs)
What is a FIG?
Belonging to a First-Year Interest Group (FIG) is a great way for first-time students to meet other students as well as develop strong relationships with upper-class students and many faculty members.
Students who are in a FIG take courses together each semester that fulfill some major requirements or some general education requirements to help ensure they are building a strong educational foundation. The FIG program is a year-long initiative that creates a strong community for first year students both in the classroom and in the residence halls.
FIG students live together in a residence hall with the upperclassmen mentors who work with the students.
Each FIG is based on an interest that the students share (i.e. adventure, art, business, theatre, etc.) and is led by students who have been at ASU for at least one year and can help students with any questions or concerns that arise in the first year of college.
2015-2016 FIG Groups:
The FIG Program is always changing and improving please check the FIG brochure for the most recent list of programs offered:
- Art FIG
- Diversity/International FIG
- English - Culture and Identity FIG

Dead Sea potash producer upgrades control system
Arab Potash Company (APC) is expanding its extensive potash production and port facilities at the Dead and Red Seas in Jordan to become one of the most productive and efficient in the world. As part of that program, it is installing ABB's automation platform, System 800xA.
APC is one of the world's major suppliers of potash, a vital plant and crop nutrient used in agricultural fertilizer all over the world. The company's vast salt ponds extend over 112 sq km at the southern end of the Dead Sea, and its potash refinery at Safi on the banks of this hypersaline mineral-rich lake is capable of producing 2,500,000 tons annually.
Processing potash from saltwater is a long and complex process that takes around 12 months to complete. The highly saline water in the salt ponds is slowly evaporated by the heat of the sun to produce a mineral-rich slurry called carnallite, which is then processed into potash at the Safi refinery.
APC recently completed a large modernization and expansion project at Safi to enhance the efficiency of the refining process and boost capacity by 25% from 2 to 2.5 million tons a year. The existing hot leach and cold crystallization plants were upgraded and a second cold crystallization plant was built.
The three plants are the heart of the refinery. There, the carnallite is dewatered, crystallized, leached, dried, and screened into three grades of potash. Each stage of the refining process at the new plant is controlled and optimized by a System 800xA DCS that monitors and manages process information from 3,500 I/O channels.
The project at Safi follows the recent modernization and expansion of APC's warehousing facilities at Aqaba by the Red Sea, where the potash is stored, ready for loading onto bulk carriers for shipment to markets all over the world.
ABB provided an electrical, control, and instrumentation package to help boost capacity at Aqaba and make the storage and loading process faster and more efficient. The long conveyor system, three stackers and two reclaimers are now controlled by a System 800xA distributed control system that helps deliver a loaded product of consistent quality.
ABB says that as a result of the two System 800xA automation systems at Safi and Aqaba, the ongoing modernization of existing facilities APC will build a leading-edge process automation system that integrates all automation functions at the sites into a single engineering and operations environment that enables all facilities to operate more efficiently and with considerable cost savings.

Clarifications regarding the use of model-fitting methods of kinetic analysis for determining the activation energy from a single non-isothermal curve
Instituto de Ciencia de Materiales de Sevilla, C.S.I.C.-Universidad de Sevilla, C. Américo Vespucio nº49, Sevilla 41092, Spain
Chemistry Central Journal 2013, 7:25 doi:10.1186/1752-153X-7-25Published: 5 February 2013
This paper provides some clarifications regarding the use of model-fitting methods of kinetic analysis for estimating the activation energy of a process, in response to some results recently published in Chemistry Central journal.
The model fitting methods of Arrhenius and Savata are used to determine the activation energy of a single simulated curve. It is shown that most kinetic models correctly fit the data, each providing a different value for the activation energy. Therefore it is not really possible to determine the correct activation energy from a single non-isothermal curve. On the other hand, when a set of curves are recorded under different heating schedules are used, the correct kinetic parameters can be clearly discerned.
Here, it is shown that the activation energy and the kinetic model cannot be unambiguously determined from a single experimental curve recorded under non isothermal conditions. Thus, the use of a set of curves recorded under different heating schedules is mandatory if model-fitting methods are employed.

Mayors of major European cities have demonstrated their commitment to create a Europe where people come first.
At the EUROCITIES conference, attended by more than 500 participants, the mayors of Edinburgh, Ghent and Stockholm were the first to sign EUROCITIES Declaration on Citizens' Engagement, pledging to:
- involve citizens in a dialogue about our common future
- inspire all levels of government to create societies where people come first
- impact the way decisions are taken in Europe
As the closest level of government to citizens, cities are crucial in shaping the future of Europe. More than 90 cities have taken part in EUROCITIES 'Cities4Europe – Europe for citizens' campaign this year, which has highlighted positive examples of citizen engagement around Europe, and set examples for other cities and levels of government. 10 top citizens' messages, collected from hundreds, were also shared with delegates.
Cities have been experimenting and innovating with new forms of participatory democracy, to support traditional representative democracy. This is central to successfully respond to pressing public concerns such as climate change, social cohesion, housing and employment.

Length: 1:30 hrs.
The Shang Han Lun is an ancient clinical text, which supplies the practitioner with tools for differential diagnosis and principles of treatment. Despite the fact it was written over 2000 years ago, the insights expressed in this text, are still relevant to the understanding of human physiology and pathology in modern times. The text outlines a physiological model of 6 systems, which are responsible for all bodily functions. Each system has its characteristic dynamics, mechanisms of actions and related pathologies. The symptoms mentioned in the text, are not intended to create a definite clinical presentation, but to be used as a means of demonstrating the dynamics of the pathology. Understanding the underlying mechanism of disease, reveals deep and useful insights related to a large variety of disorders, including those not directly mentioned in the text.
The text does not solely deal with the 6 system model. As a clinician, Zhang Zhong Jing, who wrote the text, realized that a disease does not always fit into the model. This situation is referred to as "huai bing", a complicated disease. In this case, the instruction is to not to use the symptoms as a presentation of dynamics, but to address the symptoms directly.
In the lecture you will learn:
 1. Each system has it's characteristic dynamics in health and in disease.
 2. The symptoms mentioned in the text, are often not to be taken literally, but to be understood as an illustration of the dynamics in disease.
 3. We will demonstrate how the symptoms are used to illustrate the specific dynamics of each one of the 6 systems.
 4. There are conditions which cannot be diagnosed or treated through the 6 system model.
 5. We will recognize there are situations in which a symptom is to be taken literally as a direct indication of a syndrome.
Learning Objectives
 - Understand the six systems of the Shang Han Lun, the dynamics and mechanisms of action of each of the systems.
 - Identify pathology in each of these systems, including emotional markers.
 - Know the time that Qi is strongest in each system
 - Treat using the key herb for each system.

text: In this paper, we introduce a generative model for image enhancement specifically for improving diver detection in the underwater domain. In particular, we present a model that integrates generative adversarial network (GAN)-based image enhancement with the diver detection task. Our proposed approach restructures the GAN objective function to include information from a pre-trained diver detector with the goal to generate images which would enhance the accuracy of the detector in adverse visual conditions. By incorporating the detector output into both the generator and discriminator networks, our model is able to focus on enhancing images beyond aesthetic qualities and specifically to improve robotic detection of scuba divers. We train our network on a large dataset of scuba divers, using a state-of-the-art diver detector, and demonstrate its utility on images collected from oceanic explorations of human-robot teams. Experimental evaluations demonstrate that our approach significantly improves diver detection performance over raw, unenhanced images, and even outperforms detection performance on the output of state-of-the-art underwater image enhancement algorithms. Finally, we demonstrate the inference performance of our network on embedded devices to highlight the feasibility of operating on board mobile robotic platforms.

The State of Texas is joining the nation in observing National AMBER Alert Awareness Day today.
AMBER stands for "America's Missing: Broadcast Emergency Response," and was named for 9-year-old Amber Hagerman, who was kidnapped and murdered in Arlington, Texas, in 1996.
Shortly after Amber Hagerman's death, law enforcement and media representatives in the Dallas/Fort Worth area created the first AMBER Alert program, serving as a model plan nationwide for alerting the public regarding abducted children. Currently, every state in the U.S. has an AMBER Alert Plan, in addition to several countries around the world. January 13 marks the 17-year anniversary of Amber Hagerman's abduction, which the U.S. Department of Justice has designated as National AMBER Alert Awareness Day.
The Texas AMBER Alert Program was established by Gov. Rick Perry in August of 2002, complementing existing local AMBER Alert programs. DPS manages the statewide program and provides law enforcement a mechanism for rapid notification of the media and the public in these serious child abduction cases.
From 2002 through the end of 2012, 93 children have been recovered during 87 DPS activations of the Texas AMBER Alert Program.

Configuring GPS Notification Alarm Thresholds
SecureSync allows you to configure Minor and Major alarm thresholds for the GNSS receiver. This is done by setting the minimum number of satellites the receiver can track for a set time before an alarm is triggered. If both conditions are met, i.e. the reception quality falls below the set number of satellites for the set amount of time, an alarm is triggered.
The alarm notification feature described below allows you to be notified of a potential reception issue BEFORE the GNSS reference becomes invalid. This may be useful e.g., to notify system operators of a deteriorating signal reception before SecureSync loses the GNSS reference.
Note that SecureSync itself has a pre-defined minimum number of satellites that must be tracked in order for GNSS to be considered a valid reference. The minimum number of satellites depends e.g., on your receiver mode, the GNSS signal reception in the area where your antenna is located, and the type of receiver in your unit. In Stationary mode, and for SAASM units, the minimum number of satellites is normally 4 (four). Hence, it would be prudent to set the Minor Alarm Threshold to 8, and the Major Alarm Threshold to 6.
Note: While GPS Notification Alarms can be used in Mobile GNSS receiver mode, it is not advisable.
To determine which GNSS receiver mode your SecureSync is using and how many satellites your SecureSync unit is currently receiving, navigate to INTERFACES > REFERENCES: GNSS 0. See also Reviewing the GNSS Reference Status.
To set the GPS Alarm Thresholds:
 1. Navigate to MANAGEMENT > OTHER: Notifications, and choose the GPS tab.
 2. At the bottom of the window, locate the ALARM THRESHOLD panel:
 3. In the Minimum Satellites fields enter the minimum number of satellites that must be available before the alarm is triggered. The alarm will be triggered when the number of satellites available is BELOW this number.
 4. In the Duration Below Threshold (s) fields, enter the time in seconds that the system must be below the threshold set in the Minimum Satellites field before an alarm is triggered. The alarm will be triggered when this time is reached.
 By default, this timeout value is set to 0 seconds: As soon as the receiver drops below the minimum number of satellites, the associated alarm is triggered. A delay of e.g., 5 seconds, however, would not trigger an alarm if the number of received satellites drops below the specified number for only 3 seconds.
You can configure this event to cause either a Minor alarm, or a Major alarm, or both.
To learn more about Minor and Major alarms, see Minor and Major Alarms.
Note that the GNSS receiver must initially be tracking more than the configured number of satellites in order for this alarm to be triggered (the alarm is triggered when the receiver falls below the number of Minimum Satellites you specified above).
