I just wanted to share these two very well-done and informative primers on AI and quantum computing by A16z. The latter one made a bit less ignorant about the topic. The former one is rather basic but still interesting.

Venture Lab: free Stanford University online courses
I devoted some of my time to self-education in September-December using the opportunity provided by Stanford University Venture Lab's online courses. In this post I would like to briefly describe my impressions and share some useful materials from the courses. Venture Lab courses are somewhat different from other online courses in that they take place during a specific time with specific deadlines, and you need to enroll in order to participate.
I tried three courses: Technology Entrepreneurship, Crash Course on Creativity, and Finance. As they are very different, I will tell you about each one separately.
Technology Entrepreneurship
This is probably the best one. Although, there are multiple opinions on whether entrepreneurship can be taught, there are a lot of useful materials.
If it is too late for you to participate, you might still benefit from these materials:
- Stanford University "Technology Entrepreneurship" playlist on Youtube: video lectures;
- Chuck Easley's blog post "Resources and Tools": a lot of links to useful websites and tools;
- Chuck Easley's blog post "Recommended Reading": recommended books and blogs to read;
- Facebook page;
- Facebook group.
I think it takes about an hour a week or so to keep up with the lectures. But if you want to do more, for example communicate on forum, read recommended books, and actually try to apply ideas to some project, it will take longer, of course.
By the way, if you are interested in this topic, I highly recommend you these recent notes from Peter Thiel's lectures. They also happen to be in Stanford. Computer Science dep. It will save another hundred thousand dollars. 😉
Everything is awesome and nobody's happy

Best ad campaigns of all time: Nike, Intel, Apple and others
I recently spent some time thinking what ad campaigns I would call my favorite. I think it would be Nike, Intel & Apple. See yourself.
Nike probably create the most motivational and vital commercials. Not only they motivate you to engage in sport but to to act and compete life in general. One of the best ones: "Nike Courage".
Few other Nike video ads: No excuses, Impossible is nothing, I can do this, My better is better than your better.
Intel's snobbish humor is awesome. I think the favorite one is: "Intel jokes".
Few other Intel video ads: Rockstar, Doodles. Then, just follow "similar videos" links.
TED-conference alternatives: best edutainment videos from PopTech conference, Singularity University, Learning Without Frontiers & OpenCulture
Yes, we all love TED. They probably have the best collection of video presentations online with most of them being either inspirational or insightful. But is it all there is?
Actually, there are few places where you can find some edutainment videos for you dinner watching. Here are the main alternatives to TED I stumbled upon and some introductory videos that I personally liked that can help you get started.
1. PopTech
According to the website:
PopTech is a unique innovation network – a global community of cutting-edge leaders, thinkers, and doers from many different disciplines, who come together to explore the social impact of new technologies, the forces of change shaping our future, and new approaches to solving the world's most significant challenges. We are known for our thriving community of thought-leaders, breakthrough innovation programs, visionary annual conferences and deep media and storytelling capabilities.
A good video to start from: Sebastian Seung's Connectome.
2. Learning Without Frontiers
According to the website:
Learning Without Frontiers is a global platform for disruptive thinkers and practitioners from the education, digital media, technology and entertainment sectors who come together to explore how new disruptive technologies can drive radical efficiencies and improvements in learning whilst providing equality of access.
A good video to start from: Gordon Brown's Pirate's Dilemma.

2 books about brain: What best neuroscientists can teach us about memory, creativity, society, productivity, work & leadership
Not a long time ago I wrote a post about My Stroke of Insight by Jill Bolte Taylor. And during last couple of months I listened to and read 2 more: Brain Rules by John Medina and Your Brain at Work by David Rock. Unlike Jill, they don't tell their own stories but try to give real life recommendations based on neuroscience research.
John focuses on general principles rules of brain functioning which he covers relatively briefly. David on the other hand provides more of a deep dive in various situations that we face daily, mostly at work but views them through the prism of our brain and its biochemistry. Social concepts, such as status, reward and others are explained through things like oxitocin, dopamin & epinephrin.
Those who find such topics interesting can find my notes below. Plus, a couple of great videos of authors' talks and one fun Slideshare presentation.
1. Brain Rules by John Medina
I used the actual "brain rules" by John from his website as the basis for my notes and briefly tried to explain main idea of each one.
EXERCISE | Rule #1: Exercise boosts brain power.
John recommends various kind of physical activity, especially aerobic one, including long walks. He states that if participants of business meetings walked on treadmills with 1.8 mile/hr speed, they would come up with much more creative ideas, not to mention increased memory and overall well-being. By the way, John takes his own medicine. It took him 15 minutes to adapt to replying to emails while walking.
Review of awesome My Stroke of Insight by Jill Bolte Taylor
Finished listening to My Stroke of Insight by neuroanatomist Jill Bolte Taylor today. It appeared to be as interesting as I expected, so I'd like to share it with you.
Jill is a Harvard PhD who built a highly successful career in science. Everything went just perfect till the moment when she got a stroke on one of her mornings. As a result, she lost almost all of her cognitive and physical skills, but survived. Moreover, eventually she finally recovered which took more than 8 years. Step be step she learned everything: from speech recognition, to walking and reading.
The Book tells her personal story and gives a basic understanding of our brain. According to author our brain functions can be separated by hemispheres: left and right. Right one lives in a present moment and is responsible for our sensory feelings, intuition, and perception of universe as a whole. Left one in turn is our rational mind, future planning, past evaluation, speech, critical thinking, etc.
After the stroke Jill lost functions of left hemisphere. The most interesting part is that despite the loss of cognitive functions, she describes her experience with sincere rapture. She emotionally tells us about feeling of "deep inner piece and bliss" and expresses ideas that I highly connected with a topic of mindful meditation that kind of follows me last month. BTW, here are two awesome Google Talks about it: first, second. I even decided to listen to book of the latter one, but that's a separate story.
How to get Ivy league education online for free: the best internet resources and video courses for distance learning
~ Socrates
Why even think of educational online courses?
In my opinion, full freedom implies self-improvement and the ability to learn new things every day. And you know what? I don't really think that joining the university is absolutely the best way to do it.
I guess I'm not the only one here who has a feeling that education in the traditional meaning of this word is dying in the 21st Century. Sounds like a bold statement, but it's true. Even now, in 2010 amount of the information available for free is unbelievable. And it's increasing exponentially. If you still have doubts I recommend you to watch this truly amazing video:
I'm not sure about you, but it definitely made me think a lot. Old traditional universities with big names won't disappear overnight, of course not. Degree is still the best available indicator of credibility, top universities still have an opportunity to provide their students with the wide range of various subjects and classes. The point is if you worry about practical knowledge more than about degree and credits there are some alternatives available for you. Probably, you just don't have that much time to spend on educating yourself in a traditional way or probably you don't want to settle down in one place for a few years?

Are you looking for betting sites that accept PayPal? Are you tired of difficult and slow payment transactions? Check our list of reliable PayPal gamblling sites.
Popularity of PayPal gambling sites is growing
Gone are the days when you had to visit a brick-and-mortar betting house to place a wager. These days, most reputable bookmakers are accepting bets online and payments and withdrawals can be made using an online payments processor.
There are a number of online payment gateways that bookmakers use for years but PayPal is emerging as one of the most popular options. Betting apps that use PayPal are safe and legit because they've been verified according to PayPal policies.
You can find bookmakers that accept PayPal all over the world while opening an account with PayPal is relatively easy. You should bear in mind; however, that betting with PayPal may require submission of a set of documents if you are to have a verified account that lifts some restrictions on your PayPal account.
Why PayPal gambling sites are popular
Bet sites with PayPal enable you to place wagers without revealing your credit card or bank account details. This is also a convenient way to make an online betting PayPal deposit without jeopardizing your credit card or bank account credentials.
It is actually for everyone: for individuals, businesses, partners, and developers. PayPal is one of the most popular digital wallets for bookmakers and gambling sites. According to a study by azBookmakers team, there are more than 100 bookmakers that accept PayPal. And it starts with bet365.
Down the road, you can see names like Bwin and Unibet, all the top UK bookmakers, exchanges like Betfair and Betdaq and our best choice for gambling with PayPal – 888sport.
In fact, PayPal gambling in the UK, PayPal gambling in the USA, and PayPal gambling in Australia is still the most popular method to make sporting bets online. It is partly because to gamble online with PayPal is easy but also because their service is quite secure and provides reliable protection against unauthorized access.
Low interest rates and increasing number of churn customers at Skrill and Neteller are changing the market for bookmakers funding options. With digital wallet becoming an increasingly precious and important resource for every online gambler, it is worth considering how to find the best bookmakers payment provider.
Save time with PayPal sports betting
Discovering a fast and cheap deposit method can be one of the most exciting things to dream about as a bettor. It all starts with an understanding of what you're trying to achieve, how fast you want to transfer your funds between bookmakers, how important is security to you and how much do you want to pay in fees.
Regardless of your technical skills or betting experience, the payment method can play a role, which in some cases can be detrimental to the success of your betting strategy. Luckily, there are so many funding options and while it is the norm for many of us, for some, paying a transaction fee is a nightmare. PayPal online gambling provides a secure and time saving method to bet safely and fast.
We should also add that PayPal does not impose additional fees on accounts you use to make online wagers. Neither the account holder nor the betting house owe fees to PayPal and the payments service does not restrict the amount of your monthly deposit. This adds to the attractiveness of PayPal as an affordable payment method for both seasoned and novice gamblers.
Opening a PayPal account for betting
At first glance, opening a PayPal account for betting of other purposes is easy. You should have in mind, however, that PayPal may ask for various documents ranging from national ID card to driver's license to a copy of utility bill to prove your identity.
It might be a long process in some cases but the good news is that PayPal actually do not ask what you are using your account for and does not prohibit you from placing online bets in jurisdictions where it is legal.
Also, PayPal may put limits on your account if it is not verified in accordance with their policies. It might require submission of additional documents for your account to be verified and limits lifted.
PayPal gambling: what you need to know
It is not that hard to find PayPal friendly bookmakers using the list we have complied after careful research. We strongly advise you to read through the entire list to find those PayPal betting websites that best fit your requirements and gambling strategy.
Whomever you choose, you must bear in mind a few PayPal policies regarding account creation and maintenance as well as the PayPal gambling policy.
As put on their official website:
"PayPal prohibits transactions for gambling activities by merchants and account holders in the U.S. and any jurisdiction where gambling activities are illegal, and by merchants whose services are accessible to account holders in the US and Canada."
Therefore, PayPal betting is available mostly outside the United States but some PayPal betting sites in the USA are working on methods to legally provide wagers in the US. In fact, each merchant willing to provide betting services should get approval by PayPal independently.
This applies in particular for PayPal betting sites in the US and PayPal betting sites in the UK.
To conclude, most sportsbooks that accept PayPal do this through their affiliates located outside the US and the UK, which does not make them less reliable or reputable.
Another important clause in the PayPal policies is that their PayPal protection policy does not cover deposits made with PayPal bookies or online casinos. This is not a huge problem, however, if you are placing your wagers at reputable PayPal bookmakers. Actually, you cannot take advantage of PayPal credit gambling but need to deposit a certain amount with your favorite PayPal sportsbooks.
It is a bit more difficult to find horse betting sites that accept PayPal due to the above mentioned restrictions by the payment processing service.
The best PayPal bookmakers
You can find the complete list of PayPal betting sites in the azBookmakers main table, where you can choose from carefully selected bookmakers. PayPal is powering many of the biggest names in the gambling industry.
Gambling at PayPal casino online
Gamblers interested in using PayPal for playing casino games online have a wide choice of casinos to place bets although not all online casinos are accepting PayPal for payments. One would expect that any online casino would accept this hugely popular e-wallet but PayPal's very strict and selective policies toward gambling sites force some online casinos to look for alternative payment methods to offer to their clients. Nonetheless, you can easily find a PayPal casino that suits your needs and tastes while all the biggest online casinos offer PayPal.
How PayPal Is accepting a casino on their list
Actually, all the leading online casinos are partnering with PayPal and respectively offer deposits and withdrawals via this method for online payments. Every gambler knows that a PayPal accepting casino should be regarded a reliable one as PayPal enforces strict requirements toward online casino operators and closely supervises each and every PayPal casino.
PayPal have a policy to revoke their license for using their payment method if the company gets a valid number of complaints from gamblers concerning an online casino.
For an online casino to start offering PayPal as a payment method, it should have a valid gambling license in the country where the gambler resides. For instance, a PayPal casino in Europe cannot service players in the United Kingdom if they do not have a gambling license there despite the fact that the European Union unites close to 30 nation states, the UK including.
The online casino must have a license for every single state within the EU to offer PayPal in each respective country. Hence, if you find a PayPal casino in Europe that holds gambling licenses throughout the entire continent, you must rest assured it is a very secure and reliable one as obtaining a license for every single country is quite expensive.
How casino PayPal payment works
Once you have a PayPal account that is tied to a bank account or a credit/debit card, you are good to go for playing online casino games.
Usually, an online casino that supports PayPal is both accepting deposits and withdrawals though the e-wallet. Nonetheless, always check the specific casino's PayPal payments policy, as there are certain restrictions in many online casinos.
For instance, a good number of operators allow only casino PayPal deposit and require another payment method for cashing out your winnings. There are also online casinos that put restrictions on the amount of withdrawals e.g. the player cannot withdraw amounts exceeding his initial deposit.
When cashing out your money from a casino with PayPal online, you should be aware that credit card withdrawals take longer to arrive in your account – in some cases it takes a week to get the money. So, do not expect your casino PayPal payout to reach your account immediately in most of the cases.
What Is casino PayPal minimum deposit
Most of online casinos offer minimum PayPal deposits starting at $10-$25 or £10-20. On the other hand, there are plenty of low deposit casinos that offer even lower minimum deposits, usually starting from £5 or even less.
Actually, it is not that hard to find a £5 PayPal deposit casino as even the largest online casinos struggle to attract new clients in a very competitive online gambling environment and thus start offering low minimum deposits to attract casual players.
You should be aware that low minimum PayPal deposits does not mean the use of this payment method is free of charges. Many online casinos, including large ones such as Betfair, are charging fees for the use of PayPal. These fees are in the range of 1.5% but they really depend on the respective casino operator.
Does casino PayPal bonus exist
The short answer is – yes, there are PayPal casino bonuses and you can also benefit from PayPal casino no deposit bonus in many online casinos large and small. You can take advantage from casino PayPal bonuses even if you opt for a casino with low PayPal minimum deposit.
A casino PayPal bonus varies depending on the gambling operator but some online casinos, usually the largest ones, are giving up to 15% deposit bonus for PayPal.
Actually, PayPal casino no deposit bonus is the most common type of a PayPal bonus offered by online casinos across the world. By getting such a no deposit bonus for PayPal accounts, you are able to play slots without actually depositing any money at the casino.
Advantages of a PayPal casino
- PayPal offers one of the highest security levels across the online payment industry.
- Easy to use, most actions take two-three clicks.
- Immediate transfer of funds to the casino.
- Payments are free of charge.
- PayPal works only with fully regulated casinos.
Disadvantages of a PayPal casino
- Many online casinos that offer the most lucrative bonuses do not accept PayPal.
- PayPal is not available for gambling in many countries.
- US players cannot make PayPal deposits to online casinos.
One of the most notable disadvantages of PayPal casino deposits is that the e-payments service is prohibited for online gambling in each and every state in the United States.
However, the US gamblers have alternatives such as online casinos focusing on the US market as well as alternative payment methods such as crypto betting where the player remains completely anonymous.
Overall, PayPal is one of the most popular e-wallets for making deposits and cashing out winnings in an online casino. You can effortlessly a PayPal casino online, except you reside in the US, and added advantage is that many people have a PayPal account long before they start playing online casino games.
As a rule, PayPal casinos are considered a safe bet since the company is very selective in approving a casino operator to use PayPal as a payment method and requires the casino to hold a gambling license for each country where they operate.
Nonetheless, carefully consider whether PayPal is the best payment method for you as there are also certain drawbacks. In any case, it is not a mistake to have a PayPal account for betting and playing online casino games while you can always have other payment options in place.

Scuderia Ferrari endured a miserable campaign in 2019, losing the championship battle to Mercedes yet again. Even though they had high calibre drivers like Sebastian Vettel and Charles Leclerc, they fell by the wayside.
Now, former F1 champion Jacques Villeneuve has a theory behind Ferrari's fall from grace. In fact, he has pinned the blame on Charles Leclerc and his attitude towards the team. He believes that Leclerc's determination to prove that he is the future of Ferrari, hurt them in this year's campaign.
The Monegasque driver was recruited by Ferrari ahead of the 2019 season alongside Vettel. At the time, the Italian marquee insisted that Vettel would be the "priority" driver.
However, two races later, Charles Leclerc defied Ferrari team orders and overtook Vettel in Bahrain despite being told to maintain position.
As the season progressed, Ferrari's defenses chipped away, bit by bit, as the rivalry intensified. By then, summer break came and went and Ferrari added three wins under their belt. However, since they woke up late, it was too late for the Italian team to catch up.
According to Villeneuve to Formule1, "Ferrari fell apart this year. A lot depends on your two drivers, and the chemistry within the team just was not in balance."
"Ferrari never said to Leclerc: 'It's your first year with us, your second year in F1. Relax, learn from Vettel.' Then the team would have moved further forward than now."
"Instead, from the first race, Leclerc has had the attitude of 'I'm going to show that I'm the boss and that Vettel is past. I am the future."
The Canadian also noted that the tifosi viewed Charles Leclerc as a Messiah and the media lapped it all up. Naturally, with Leclerc being hailed as a godsend, it massively dented Vettel's mojo. However, for all the praise and expectations, Charles Leclerc simply wasn't ready for that role.
Villeneuve insisted that Leclerc's objective was pole positions and sometimes for victories. However, he didn't see the bigger picture, namely the Formula One World championship.
He concluded, "So this whole situation has damaged Ferrari. I don't know what Mattia Binotto could do about that."
"I do not know the agreements, in the days of Irvine and Barrichello this was simply established. How does this work? Who will say?"

Taoiseach rejoins medical register to help coronavirus fight

Taoiseach rejoins medical register to help coronavirus fight
Varadkar has re-registered as a doctor according to reports from The Irish Times and The Irish Sun, and will work a session a week to offer his assistance in the ongoing coronavirus crisis.
Leo Varadkar is a qualified medical doctor but has been working full-time in politics in recent years.
He was removed from the register following his switch to politics, but he rejoined when the Health Service Executive appealed for all non-working health care professionals to register and help fight the pandemic. "He wanted to help out even in a small way", the spokesman added.
The Taoiseach comes from a medical family. According to The Times, the taoiseach is the son of a health care provider and a nurse.
Last month, Health Minister Simon Harris launched a recruitment drive for the HSE as it prepared to tackle the coronavirus outbreak with a stark message: "Your country needs you". His spouse Matthew Barrett is a heart specialist, and Varadkar's sisters and their husbands additionally paintings within the well being sector. Around 50,000 people applied in less than three days.
The Irish Times, which first reported the story, said the taoiseach was understood to be doing phone assessments, in keeping with the protocol to advise people who could be infected over the phone rather than in person.
There are almost 5,000 cases of COVID-19 in Ireland and 158 have died due to the disease. They are encouraged to call, instead of first going to a clinic or hospital, in an effort to curb the spread of the virus.
Ireland has suggested all citizens to stick at house up to imaginable to curb the unfold of the virus.
As of Sunday afternoon, Ireland had just about 5,000 showed circumstances of coronavirus. Globally, greater than 1.25 million folks had been inflamed by way of the radical virus.

Beneath the European-Russian Struggle for the Fate of Ukraine
Why it's so important to Russia—and why Europe will still win.
Ukraine is fast becoming an ideological battlefield. On one side the Western European societal model—liberal representative democracy plus the market economy. On the other side the old-style czarist model—repression plus oligarchic economics merging into a form of autarchy. Behind the curtain a second conflict starts to grow in importance. Russia and its President, Vladimir Putin, adopts and applies conventional, traditional strategic thinking in the von Clausewitz tradition that war is not an independent phenomenon, but the continuation of politics by different means. The EU approach rejects Clausewitz by renouncing war, seeking political objectives by pursuing political options.
Without Ukraine, Russia will never stand a chance of becoming a great power again. Ukraine's 45 million people, of which around 75 per cent are Ukrainian and around 18 per cent are Russian, would increase Russia's population by a third. Its industrial capacity is considerable, as is the case for its agricultural potential. Vast reserves of shale gas/oil have led to agreements with Shell and Chevron, auguring self-sufficiency around 2020 and removing the leverage supply of gas and oil gives Russia. Chinese investment in agriculture has been forthcoming, reserving five per cent of the landmass for food production going to China.
These investments may not be welcome from a Russian point of view. Geographically, Russia's southern border is exposed. A Ukraine outside its sphere of interest requires this southern vulnerability to be incorporated into Moscow's planning at a moment when military presence in the Arctic is being given high priority. The Russian 'nation,' or maybe it is more correct to say the Russian identity, can be traced back to Kiev—not Moscow—rubbing salt into the wound over Ukraine and its people's apparent unwillingness to link their future to Russia. It's a kind of cultural break, or even worse, a snub.
Superficially, the EU offer of a partnership gave better access to markets and the prospect of modernizing Ukraine's economy. This might ire the Kremlin, but does not explain the intense opposition. The reason behind that stance is that a successful expansion of EU's societal model so different from the Russian one will leave Moscow isolated, making it increasingly difficult to stem the tide of growing opposition inside Russia. Preventing Ukraine from choosing this path is therefore the first line of defence of the Kremlin's own political system.
The European Union may not fully have seen this. It entered into talks in 2009 with not only Ukraine, but Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia and Moldova (from Russia's perspective a maneuver to envelop it) in the mood of extending trade concessions and economic benefits. That it would also force these countries to change their societal model may not have been overlooked, but the interpretation or understanding of how Russia would react to such a change in its 'near abroad' was apparently not analysed; at least no proper diplomatic preparations for the inevitable showdown with Russia and confrontation with the Russian-backed rulers of Ukraine were initiated.
EU's Common Foreign and Security Policy have broken new ground in international relations by renouncing war and explicitly selecting political means to achieve political objectives. This proved tremendously successful in Central and Eastern Europe. Looking at Ukraine, it seems almost superfluous to highlight how attractive the Western European model is in the eyes of its people. They lived first under Soviet dictatorship and then suffered from a combination of incompetence, authoritarian rulers and kleptocracy robbing them of the country's wealth. Some observers might label it arrogance, but the core of this is that the EU, despite flaws and shortcomings, has reached a degree of political maturity that people living at its periphery can only dream of—and they do—when comparing with their own situation.
The problem for the EU and the Ukrainian people surfaced in the former Yugoslavia in the early 1990s: There is no real answer when up against opponents choosing to play hardball by reverting to the Clausewitzian way of conducting foreign policy.
The victim of the course events has taken is obviously Ukraine's people. Despite its rich natural resources and economic potential, mismanagement has brought it close to economic disaster. Third quarter 2013 saw the economy slip into recession. The financial markets do not seem interested in providing sums estimated to somewhere between USD twenty and thirty billion, including natural gas payments to Russia. A loan package of USD fifteen billion is being discussed with the IMF, which is likely to link loans to policy steps running counter to the current regime's policies. The EU may find some money in case Ukraine joins the partnership, but recalling the Eurozone's crisis over the last five years, the EU money is unlikely to be anywhere near USD 20-30 billion.
It seems most likely that, after tergiversation bringing further hardship to the harshly treated and unfortunate people living there, Ukraine will end up joining the partnership with the EU. Firstly, this is what the majority of the people want. Secondly, the EU offers a large and growing market. Russia cannot do the same, being almost totally dependent on the oil price not knowing what financial resources will be at its disposal in the future. The World Bank has just downgraded its growth for 2013 to 1.3 percent, with a forecast for 2014 at 2.2 percent.
If this becomes the trajectory the Europeans need to brace themselves for a Russian riposte aiming at intimidating Ukraine and Europe with one stroke. Then comes the time to find out whether there actually is a Common Foreign and Security Policy. Maybe equally important comes the time for the world to know whether the bold European attempt to end the Clausewitzian paradigm to focus on politics and societal models can survive in the beginning of the twenty-first century.
For those who ponder what Russia might do it is worthwhile noting that simultaneously with the Ukrainian crisis news were out that Russia's armed forces have moved nuclear-capable Iskander missiles closer to Europe's borders in response to the US-led deployment of a disputed air defence shield.

Dozens of Chicago religious leaders urged city officials to resume free water service for non-profits. Churches and other charities received free water from the city for years, until 2011, and say the cost could force them to cut services for the needy. (Credit: Bernie Tafoya/WBBM)
Updated 04/30/13 – 5:12 p.m.
CHICAGO (CBS) — Cardinal Francis George and dozens of other Chicago religious leaders were calling on city officials to reinstate free water service for churches and other non-profits.
WBBM Newsradio's Bernie Tafoya reports the cardinal and other religious leaders held a news conference Tuesday morning in Bronzeville, saying that no longer getting free water service could force them to halt some services for the needy.

More Than Just Words (Subtitles Are A Good Thing)
Good mooning everyone. If I say it like that then it reminds me of the gendarme from 'Allo Allo', the sitcom ? No ? OK, it's looses a lot in translation and there's no point in me trying to explain, the moment has gone, we'll move on.
More of a newsletter this morning (or 'moaning', now do you get it ?) I just needed to flex a little as I've been doing the whole concentration frown for a few days.
Last night I gave myself a little break at around 10pm and thought I'd see if there was anything worth watching on Netflix. I found a film that intrigued, as a well written 'blurb' or synopsis can. Started to play it and then got hat sinking feeling you get when you have an inkling that all is not well. It was going to need sub-titles. Now, at this point I could have surfed away and found something else but I was in need of stimulation. I persevered and turned on the captions. It's interesting how quickly we forget that we're reading the words. I was actually engrossed, not least by the fact that the language was Spanish. It truly is a beautiful to listen to.
I wondered if there were any benefits to watching a film with sub-titles, I mean, we are mutli-tasking by watching and reading, I know we normally 'listen' but isn't that slightly easier, as long as the words are clear then it's pretty much automatic. I searched the question and behold I was not the first to ask it, though there didn't seem to be a factual based answer until I found this.
- 80% of people who used closed captions had no hearing loss.
- 80% of people who used closed captions were not hearing impaired.
- 70% of respondents said closed captions improved comprehension.
- Most people were satisfied with prerecorded closed captions.
- Most people were dissatisfied with live close caption service.
This was from an 'in depth' survey by the BBC. Still, if you can get your head round it then you open up a whole other world of cinematographic genius. Wait, here's an added bit of value that has to do with all you budding video masters.
"Why Companies Should Love Captions
When people are able to comprehend your content you will increase user engagement and increase the likelihood they will watch the entire video. Here is what adding captions can do:
- 40% more time spent watching video.
- 80% more people watch video to completion vs 40% for videos without.
- Viewers have higher likelihood of positive reaction.
- Making videos accessible to English for 2nd language (ESL) viewers.
- Creating searchable video content.
- Increase student engagement through an interactive experience.
- Using keywords improve content discovery for better learning outcomes."
Who knew ? I didn't, then again I haven't done any videos yet. When I do, I'll be sure to add subtitles. Well, this took me in another direction.
Funnel work is still ongoing. Well, it's not work as yet, I'm just watching video and making notes. Maybe this post came about because one of yesterdays videos was about videos. I won't go in to any of it here but there'a a lot going on in that arena. Long gone are the days of switching on your web cam for 10 minutes and then just uploading it. I mean, it's like a visual blog post, with SEO, tags, descriptions, keywords, links, URL'S and probably more stuff. Apparently this is all needed because YouTube is a search engine and it's owned by Google.
Why did I not know that ? Maybe I did and forgot, that happens quite a bit. 'More then just words' was meant to be about something entirely different, still I hope you've found this informative and maybe a little useful.
Spectacular days are required by all, as it is the law.
I have to study all the science about keywords etc. for videos.
Thanks for making me think about subtitles.
Deep and thoughtful Twack.
Thank you
Lily 😁🎶

- 7″: 1996 (Old Metal Records; OMR 001) [Test pressing with b/w mock up of front of PS, United Record Pressing]
This 7″ single or EP was released after the band broke up. The songs on here are live and were recorded somewhere between 1984 and 91. Atom Smasher is possibly Arlington Theater in Santa Barbara, California (04 may 1985). I'm Alive is possibly Heavy Metal @ Wolf & Rissmiller's Country Club, Reseda (09 nov 1984). It was the first release on King Fowley's Old Metal Records. Semi bootleg, semi official, half bootleg, half official, official bootleg – or bootleg (but CU contacted about Fowley and was super cool and happy about it) – whatever you want to.
…My own personal passion for the band went as far as releasing a self-financed live 7″ single from the band in 1996 (don't brother writing it's long sold out!).

BOSTON — An impressive seventh-inning rally only postponed defeat a couple of hours for the spiraling and pressing Red Sox.
Boston's comeback from a five-run deficit was thwarted when David Lough tripled to lead off the 12th inning and scored on J.J. Hardy's single as the Baltimore Orioles recovered for a 7-6 victory Sunday.
The Red Sox lost two of three to Baltimore to fall a season-worst 10 games below .500. They've dropped five of six, 11 of 16 and sit nine games behind the AL East-leading Orioles.
"Got to win on this day," said Jake Peavy, who allowed two runs — one earned — and six hits in six innings. "I'm as sick of it as you guys are sitting here talking about losing."
What best summed up Boston's day and season? Collecting his fourth hit and reaching base for the fifth time to lead off the 12th, David Ortiz tried to stretch it into a double and was thrown out easily by Lough in left field.
Earlier, Dustin Pedroia was caught stealing second with one out in the ninth and Ortiz at the plate.
"We're always going to err on the side of aggressiveness," manager John Farrell said.
Brad Brach (4-0) earned the victory with three innings of scoreless relief. He allowed one hit and one walk while striking out four. Zach Britton pitched the 12th for his 14th save in a game that lasted more than 5 hours.
Edward Mujica (2-4) worked a scoreless 11th before Lough lined a triple to the center field wall leading off the 12th. The next batter, Hardy, bounced one through the left side of the infield to give the Orioles the lead.
Cruz stays hot
Hardy and Nelson Cruz each had three hits for Baltimore, which has won six of seven. Cruz had five hits Saturday in the second game of a day-night doubleheader and hit safely in seven straight at-bats before flying out in the fifth.
Ortiz had four hits and Pedroia added three for Boston, which trailed, 6-1, before scoring five runs in the seventh to tie it.
"We strung some hits together, finally, to mount that inning," Farrell said.
Boston center fielder Jackie Bradley Jr. had two hits, threw out a runner at the plate and made a leaping catch to end the top of the ninth.
"We haven't won the close games," Pedroia said. "We've played a lot of one-run games and that's been the difference. One hit or one play being made in each of those games and it's a different story right now."

Practical implementation of transpiration cooling system can be realized by multi-layered impingement/effusion cooling system which is composed of two or more layers with pins. Due to restrictions of very low height in multi-layered impingement/effusion cooling, heat transfer characteristics are affected by pin space to diameter. In this paper, the effects of pin space to diameter ratio, sp/d, are investigated on all internal surfaces including impingement plate and pin surfaces. Local heat/mass transfer measured using a naphthalene sublimation method. The ratio of height to diameter ratio, h/d, is fixed at 0.25, and Reynolds number based on the hole diameter is 3000. As a results, heat transfer characteristics on effusion plate are similar to narrow impingement jet cooling without pins, in the case of sp/d = 6.0. Local Sherwood number distributions are affected by biased location of pins at sp/d = 2 and 1.5. Pins block the flow channel, and make flow area narrower. The secondary peak moved outwards in the radial direction, 18%, and Sherwood number of the secondary peak was enhanced by 6%. Comparing the heat/mass transfer of all of the cases, and considering pumping power, increasing pins (decreasing sp/d) resulted in superior performance. Comparison factor of sp/d = 2.0 and sp/d = 1.5 was on the 2.2.
