 What advice would you give to someone who is introducing a new dog into their home?

If you haven’t read PART ONE, you should do so before reading this post! You learned 5 tips in the last post and in this post, you will learn 5 more. I am grateful to know this stuff now and even though I am no stranger to owning dogs, it is hard to remember that every dog has a different personality and stuff that I didn’t even consider for Sophie was stuff that I had to do for Eevee.
This might be easier if you have already had a dog before, but this is important for the introduction process with your dog. Observe your dog’s personality, mannerisms, and quirks. This will make it easier to train, especially potty train, and anticipate what your dog is going to do. I learned that my dog will walk in circles before she poops and then she’ll charge me right before she goes pee. Because of that, I have learned if I don’t want to get plowed over, I should brace myself and stay on high ground.
This is something that I was very thankful for. Before Eevee was adopted to us, she was seen by the humane society’s vet, but I wanted to get her established with the vet that we use for our other pets. I’m glad that we brought her in because when Eevee left the humane society with a UTI, it didn’t heal right away. Turns out, she probably has a kidney issue that we wouldn’t have found if we hadn’t brought her to our vet.
I thought that we had dog proofed our house enough before we got Eevee. Turns out, we didn’t. Not even close. Did you know that Eevee can open the toilet lid with her snout? She can even open the gate in the backyard and escape (this was a recent discovery). Make sure that you observe and see what they get into. Dog-proofing your house is a learning process. It has been two months for us and we are still dog proofing our house.
This may not apply to anyone, but I wish that I had considered how much money I was actually going to spend on Eevee. Between her adoption fee, many trips to the vet, toys to keep her from getting bored, more toys to replace the ones that she destroyed, a kennel, reusable diapers, and other things, we spent so much money. Fortunately, we had it within our budget (mostly) but unexpected costs come with the dog territory.
Do not take your new dog to a dog park or any off-leash area until they know their name. This may be one of the most overlooked things. Teach them their name! It is relatively easy to do. Make sure you have dog treats and lots of patience. Learn how to teach your dog their name here.
What is something that you didn’t know when you first adopted your dog that you think is important for the world to know? Share it below!

 Explain what dark matter is and provide evidence of its existence.

Dark matter, definition and study. A-Z index of Cognitio.
In Cosmology with dark matter, it is defined as a hypothetical component of matter that is not directly observable, since, unlike the known material, does not emit electromagnetic radiation and is manifested solely through gravitational effects.
Based on various experimental observations it is assumed that dark matter constitutes the vast majority, almost 90%, of the mass present in the universe. In 1933, astronomer Fritz Zwicky was studying the motion of masses of galaxies far and wide, in particular, the cluster of Chioma and that of the Virgin.
Zwicky estimated the mass of each storage galaxy based on its luminosity and added all the galactic masses to get the total mass of the stock. He then obtained a second independent estimation of the total mass, based on the measurement of the dispersion of individual galaxy velocities in the stock; This second dynamic mass estimate was 400 times larger than galaxy-based estimation. Although experimental evidence was already in Zwicky’s time, it was only in the seventies that scientists began to explore this discrepancy systematically and that the existence of dark matter began to be considered. Considering the stars at the periphery of a spiral galaxy with orbital velocities normally observed at 200 kilometers per second, if the galaxy was composed only of the visible matter these stars would abandon it in a short time, as their orbital velocities are four times more big of the escape speed from the galaxy. Given that no galaxies are being dispersed in this way, there must be mass within them that is not taken into account when summing up the mass of all visible parts. Another possible proof of the existence of dark matter is given by the gravitational lenses. The visible mass is insufficient to create a gravitational lens, whereby massive amounts of dark matter are precipitated, resulting in a total mass capable of diverting the path of light.
In 2008, thanks to the study of several researchers, including French and Canadian coordinated by the Institute of Astrophysics in Paris, there was another important indication of the presence of dark matter. Using the Canadian-France-Hawaii Telescope (Cfht) telescope, located on Mauna Kea Mountain in Hawaii, the scholars observed thousands of images to verify the deviation that light traveled in its cosmic journey, noting that it was diverted to places where it did not masses were visible. Observations of these gravitational effects are one of the greatest evidence of the existence of dark matter. On April 3, 2013, NASA scientists reported that a trace of dark matter could have been detected by the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer on the International Space Station.
The first results of the “Space-borne Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer” show an excess of high energy positron in cosmic rays, for which one of the possible explanations is the presence of dark matter.

 What did the Leafs do for fun in Minnesota?

The Toronto Maple Leafs put aside the lopsided numbers they had accumulated — in shots against, in possession — and settled on a spell of old-fashioned fun Wednesday.
Skating on an outdoor rink in St. Paul, Minn. — officially the Wells Fargo WinterSkate rink, adjacent to the Xcel Energy Center, the home of the Minnesota Wild — the Leafs staged a 3-on-3 tournament, complete with a pair of loaned-out high school goalies, the day after a 4-2 loss in Philadelphia.
The rollicking, shinny tournament featured a trophy for the winning team — Morgan Rielly, Nazem Kadri, Kasperi Kapanen, Connor Brown and Roman Polak — that was donated by defenceman Jake Gardiner’s father, John.
Leafs head coach Mike Babcock approached Jake Gardiner a couple of weeks ago about the idea of a day of fun and bonding in Minnesota. The idea was to find an outdoor rink and, after a quick text between son and father, the “Six Cup” was born.
For Babcock, though, there was no getting away from the current state of his team, which isn’t all that bad, except for some injuries and the nagging details from Tuesday’s loss.
Prior to the outdoor practice, which was actually across the street from the team hotel in St. Paul, the coach addressed his team regarding the third-period collapse in which the Leafs were outshot 18-9. The team lost for the first time in six games this season without centre Auston Matthews.
Babcock reiterated that Matthews remains day to day with an upper-body injury, and won’t play Thursday night’s game against the Wild.
Babcock also explained that he is steering clear of frequent checks on Matthews, and any other injured players, in an effort to avoid a situation where the player feels pressured by the coach.
“I used to ask players questions (about injuries), but what it is, it’s perceived as pressure from the coach,” Babcock said. “When you’re putting pressure on a guy, and he comes back and gets injured, you see it all the time, a recurring injury . . . it makes no sense. Especially in the situation we are (with Matthews), you buy a little.
Babcock mentioned that winger Nikita Soshnikov returned to Toronto to deal with groin soreness, while defenceman Andreas Borgman did not skate (nursing “bumps and bruises”).
In the meantime, Gardiner’s father, John, made sure the 3-on-3 tournament had a reward for the winners.
The name “Six Cup” came from Gardiner’s number, 51, which when separated adds up to 6. Six also happens to be Gardiner’s nickname. The Leafs will try to make the outdoor tourney a habit when they return to Minnesota.
“We looked at our schedule earlier and thought it’d be a fun opportunity for the guys and, as you know, the morale, emotion of a team is so important . . . so I thought this set us up for good energy, and set us up for (Thursday’s game against the Wild),” said Babcock, who recalled growing up at 15 Wapoose Bay near Saskatoon and “sliding” down a hill to a beaver dam, where the local kids would play hockey until their parents came looking for them.
As for the high-school goalies, they had links to Leafs goalie coach Steve Briere, through one of his past clinics.
“They were good,” Kadri said of Henry Welsh, 17, from Lakeville South High School, and Luke Fry, 19, from the Willmar Warhawks in Columbus, Indianna.
Both goalies got the chance of a lifetime after the Leafs decided regulars Freddie Andersen and Curtis McElhinney would have a light day of skating, but no actual practice.

 What is a mortuary?

But it was necessary to accompany the dead in their last journey. For this, a special structure was built, a mortuary.
This pantheon was built specifically for prominent residents of the city of Volzhsky, which is on the other side of the Volga from Stalingrad. And served as a place where the farewell to the deceased.
The building is made in the shape of the letter “П”, has a number of columns along the walls and an altar in its far part. The architecture is more like an ancient necropolis.
Cemetery number 1 was the main and the first for the city, and of course it quickly ended the place. And since they ceased to bury, the need for mortuary has disappeared.
At the moment, it is the only remaining mortuary in Russia.
The altar is located in the main part of the morta, the deceased was placed on it.

BINANCE:VIBBTC VIB is trapped in a bullish and rising triangle, this is expected to play out as illustrated in the chart so far mother BTC doesnt shake the alts again. i suggest u exit if fall downward and outside the triangle. For risk takers only, and be careful to put stop loss in case BTC make a move again.
Mid Term price prediction for VIB-BTC.
Double bottom sitting on a nice support. RSI in oversold territory. I might take a small position around 730 range and leave it for a few days to play out. Stop loss just under 710 my own personal preference. Let me know if I have made any mistakes. Still learning. Help would be highly appreciated. Thanks. .

 Respond in 8 sentences. Explain how Nintendo is making money.

Profits are up, and 'Pokémon' is pretty much a license to print money.
The company added that it's pulled in around 50 billion yen from related entities like The Pokémon Company, as well as gains from selling its part ownership of the Seattle Mariners. During a Q&A session, CEO Kimishima added that while its latest mobile game, Fire Emblem, was downloaded only a tenth of the times that Super Mario Run was, its revenue exceeded that of the plumbers debut, due to in-app purchases of randomized characters.
Its new console aside, it's the company's games that seem responsible for making money. The Legend OF Zelda: Breath of the Wild has sold 2.76 million copies on the new console. Yes, that's more Zelda titles than there are Switch consoles, and doesn't even factor in sales of the game on Wii U -- that gives a true total of 3.84 million copies sold. Those figures pale in comparison to Pokémon Sun and Moon, which have sold 15.44 million games on 3DS. The Switch's sales pitch as a combination home and portable console makes a whole lot of sense to Nintendo's accountants.

 Respond in 19 sentences. What actors have been cast in AMC's supernatural horror drama NOS4A2?

Olafur Darri Olafsson (Lady Dynamite), Virginia Kull (The Looming Tower) and Ebon Moss-Bachrach (Punisher) are set as series regulars in AMC’s supernatural horror drama NOS4A2, based on the bestselling novel of the same name by Joe Hill. The project, produced by AMC Studios in association with Michael Eisner’s Tornante Television, was created by Jami O’Brien (Fear The Walking Dead, Hell On Wheels) who will serve as showrunner. It’s set for debut in 2019.
NOS4A2 introduces Vic McQueen, a young, working class artist who discovers she has a supernatural ability to track the seemingly immortal Charlie Manx. Manx feeds off the souls of children, then deposits what remains of them into Christmasland – a twisted Christmas Village of Manx’s imagination where every day is Christmas day and unhappiness is against the law. Vic must strive to defeat Manx and rescue his victims – without losing her mind or falling victim to him herself.
Olafsson will play Bing Partridge, a hard worker with a mysterious past and an impressionable mind. Kull is Linda McQueen, Vic’s tough, blue-collar mom determined to hold her family together and protect her daughter. Moss-Bachrach portrays Chris McQueen, Vic’s charming, blue-collar dad with a weakness for drink but a deep love for his daughter.
Hill and O’Brien executive produce NOS4A2 along with Lauren Corrao, Co-President of Tornante Television.
Olafsson most recently starred on Lady Dynamite For Netflix. He’ll next shoot Murder Mystery for Netflix with Adam Sandler, Jennifer Anniston and Luke Evans. He also has Lionsgate’s The Spy Who Dumped Me and Warner Bros. features Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, and The Meg with Jason Statham, all due out later this year. He’s repped by APA, Gateway Management, and Conway van Gelder Grant.
Kull most recently played Kathy Shaughnessy in The Looming Tower, and Beth Solan in Gracepoint. She also recently recurred on Big Little Lies, Sneaky Pete and Mr. Mercedes. She is repped by Innovative Artists and Sanders Armstrong Caserta Management.
Moss-Bachrach most recently was seen as Micro in Netflix’s Punisher and before that as Desi in HBO’s Girls. Moss-Bachrach is repped by UTA, manager Sue Leibman/Barking Dog Entertainment and Peikoff Mahan.

 What is the Routh-Hurwitz stability criterion? Respond in 5 sentences.

In control system theory, the Routh–Hurwitz stability criterion is a mathematical test that is a necessary and sufficient condition for the stability of a linear time invariant (LTI) control system. The Routh test is an efficient recursive algorithm that English mathematician Edward John Routh proposed in 1876 to determine whether all the roots of the characteristic polynomial of a linear system have negative real parts. German mathematician Adolf Hurwitz independently proposed in 1895 to arrange the coefficients of the polynomial into a square matrix, called the Hurwitz matrix, and showed that the polynomial is stable if and only if the sequence of determinants of its principal submatrices are all positive. The two procedures are equivalent, with the Routh test providing a more efficient way to compute the Hurwitz determinants than computing them directly. A polynomial satisfying the Routh–Hurwitz criterion is called a Hurwitz polynomial.

 What is Acacia longifolia? Respond in 11 sentences.

Acacia longifolia is a species of "Acacia" native to southeastern Australia, from the extreme southeast of Queensland, eastern New South Wales, eastern and southern Victoria, and southeastern South Australia. Common names for it include long-leaved wattle, acacia trinervis, aroma doble, golden wattle, coast wattle, sallow wattle and Sydney golden wattle. It is not listed as being a threatened species, and is considered invasive in Portugal and South Africa. In the Southern region of Western Australia, it has become naturalised and has been classed as a weed by out-competing indigenous species. It is a tree that grows very quickly reaching 7–10 m in five to six years.
"Acacia longifolia" is widely cultivated in subtropical regions of the world. Its uses include prevention of soil erosion, food (flowers, seeds and seed pods), yellow dye (from the flowers), green dye (pods) and wood. The flower colour derives from the organic compound kaempferol. The tree's bark has limited use in tanning, primarily for sheepskin. It is useful for securing uninhabited sand in coastal areas, primarily where there are not too many hard frosts. In Tasmania the ripening pods were roasted and the seeds removed and eaten.

 Describe the action from the San Jose Barracuda's Friday night game against the Cleveland Monsters.

SAN JOSE, CA - The San Jose Barracuda (25-22-3-3) fought through a back-and-forth first two periods before exploding offensively in the final frame to take down the Cleveland Monsters (20-30-4-3) on Friday night at SAP Center, 6-2.
The Barracuda gave up an early first-period goal when Nathan Gerbe (2) scored on the Monsters’ first shot of the night at the 4:37 mark, giving Cleveland the 1-0 lead. But San Jose would take the offensive edge from that point, beginning the game two-for-two on the man advantage. First, Adam Helewka (8) was set up by a beautiful spinning pass from Brandon Mashinter as he scored with just nine seconds remaining on the power play to make it 1-1 at 9:18. Then captain John McCarthy (8) would score a power play goal of his own by directing a shot through the five-hole of Cleveland netminder Matiss Kivlenieks, giving the ‘Cuda a 2-1 lead at the 12:10 mark. But just 41 seconds later, the Monsters would tie it up with a rebound shot by Justin Scott (5) off the left pad of San Jose goalie Antoine Bibeau, and the score remained locked through the first 20 minutes.
In the second, it was San Jose’s turn for an early score, taking the 3-2 lead when Rudolfs Balcers raced up the left wing past the Cleveland defense before he ran out of room and found McCarthy (9) uncovered in the low slot, where the captain buried his second goal of the night at 3:28.
San Jose took it to the Monsters offensively in the third with three scores to cement the win. First, McCarthy returned the favor as he found Balcers (15) uncovered along the left hash of the near circle at 4:40, and then Mashinter (8) pounded home a point-blank shot off the centering pass from Sam Warning to make it 5-2 at 5:30. McCarthy (10) would cap off the three-goal third as he tipped a Zach Frye point shot past Kivlenieks at 14:58, stretching the lead to 6-2. The hat-trick was the first of McCarthy’s pro career and the sixth in Barracuda franchise history.
Bibeau (17-11-5) earned the victory by making 30 saves on 32 shots. Cleveland’s Kivlenieks (11-16-2) suffered the loss, allowing six goals on 38 shots.
The Barracuda and Monsters will finish their two-game weekend set at SAP Center on Saturday at 5:30 p.m. Listen live on AM 1220 KDOW or on the all-new Sharks + SAP Center App.

 What is the Waterloo Creek Massacre? Respond in 97 words.

The Waterloo Creek massacre (also Slaughterhouse Creek massacre) refers to a series of violent clashes between mounted police, civilian vigilantes and Indigenous Gamilaraay peoples, which occurred southwest of Moree, New South Wales, Australia, during December 1837 and January 1838. The events have been subject to much dispute, due to wildly conflicting accounts by various participants and in subsequent reports and historical analyses, about the nature and number of fatalities and the lawfulness of the actions. Interpretation of the events at Waterloo Creek was raised again during the controversial "history wars" which began in the 1990s in Australia.

 What do you know about the politics of science and technology policy?

Daniel Sarewitz has received funding from the US National Science Foundation to study the politics of science and technology policy. He is a registered Democrat and has contributed to Democratic candidates at the local, state, and national levels.
Leaders of the scientific community – most of whom are also Democrats – voiced relief when the Trump administration nominated Kelvin Droegemeier to direct the White House Office of Science and Technology last August. Four months later, Droegemeier has been confirmed by the Senate, and he can finally step into a position that has been leaderless since Trump assumed office.

 "Can you tell me more about Tropical Storm Cristobal?"

Tropical Storm Cristobal was a relatively weak tropical cyclone that meandered in the western Atlantic Ocean prior to being absorbed into a frontal zone. The third named storm of the 2002 Atlantic hurricane season, Cristobal developed on August 5 near the coast of South Carolina from the same trough that spawned Tropical Storm Bertha. The storm tracked slowly southeastward in the early portion of its duration, and initially remained disorganized. Cristobal attained peak winds of 50 mph (85 km/h), and lost the characteristics of a tropical cyclone on August 8. The remnants brought moderate precipitation to Bermuda, and in combination with a high pressure system the storm caused three drownings on Long Island from rip currents.

 Explain how to select a reasonable learning rate for deep learning models.

By Pavel Surmenok, Engineering Manager at JustAnswer.
The learning rate is one of the most important hyper-parameters to tune for training deep neural networks.
In this post, I’m describing a simple and powerful way to find a reasonable learning rate that I learned from fast.ai Deep Learning course. I’m taking the new version of the course in person at University of San Francisco. It’s not available to the general public yet, but will be at the end of the year at course.fast.ai (which currently has the last year’s version).
How does learning rate impact training?
Deep learning models are typically trained by a stochastic gradient descent optimizer. There are many variations of stochastic gradient descent: Adam, RMSProp, Adagrad, etc. All of them let you set the learning rate. This parameter tells the optimizer how far to move the weights in the direction of the gradient for a mini-batch.
If the learning rate is low, then training is more reliable, but optimization will take a lot of time because steps towards the minimum of the loss function are tiny.
If the learning rate is high, then training may not converge or even diverge. Weight changes can be so big that the optimizer overshoots the minimum and makes the loss worse.
The training should start from a relatively large learning rate because, in the beginning, random weights are far from optimal, and then the learning rate can decrease during training to allow more fine-grained weight updates.
There are multiple ways to select a good starting point for the learning rate. A naive approach is to try a few different values and see which one gives you the best loss without sacrificing speed of training. We might start with a large value like 0.1, then try exponentially lower values: 0.01, 0.001, etc. When we start training with a large learning rate, the loss doesn’t improve and probably even grows while we run the first few iterations of training. When training with a smaller learning rate, at some point the value of the loss function starts decreasing in the first few iterations. This learning rate is the maximum we can use, any higher value doesn’t let the training converge. Even this value is too high: it won’t be good enough to train for multiple epochs because over time the network will require more fine-grained weight updates. Therefore, a reasonable learning rate to start training from will be probably 1–2 orders of magnitude lower.
Leslie N. Smith describes a powerful technique to select a range of learning rates for a neural network in section 3.3 of the 2015 paper “Cyclical Learning Rates for Training Neural Networks”.
The trick is to train a network starting from a low learning rate and increase the learning rate exponentially for every batch.
First, with low learning rates, the loss improves slowly, then training accelerates until the learning rate becomes too large and loss goes up: the training process diverges.
We need to select a point on the graph with the fastest decrease in the loss. In this example, the loss function decreases fast when the learning rate is between 0.001 and 0.01.
Another way to look at these numbers is calculating the rate of change of the loss (a derivative of the loss function with respect to iteration number), then plot the change rate on the y-axis and the learning rate on the x-axis.
It looks too noisy, let’s smooth it out using simple moving average.
This looks better. On this graph, we need to find the minimum. It is close to lr=0.01.
Jeremy Howard and his team at USF Data Institute developed fast.ai, a deep learning library that is a high-level abstraction on top of PyTorch. It’s an easy to use and yet powerful toolset for training state of the art deep learning models. Jeremy uses the library in the latest version of the Deep Learning course (fast.ai).
Note that selecting a learning rate once, before training, is not enough. The optimal learning rate decreases while training. You can rerun the same learning rate search procedure periodically to find the learning rate at a later point in the training process.
I haven’t seen ready to use implementations of this learning rate search method for other libraries like Keras, but it should be trivial to write. Just run the training multiple times, one mini-batch at a time. Increase the learning rate after each mini-batch by multiplying it by a small constant. Stop the procedure when the loss gets a lot higher than the previously observed best value (e.g., when current loss > best loss * 4).
Selecting a starting value for the learning rate is just one part of the problem. Another thing to optimize is the learning schedule: how to change the learning rate during training. The conventional wisdom is that the learning rate should decrease over time, and there are multiple ways to set this up: step-wise learning rate annealing when the loss stops improving, exponential learning rate decay, cosine annealing, etc.
The paper that I referenced above describes a novel way to change the learning rate cyclically. This method improves performance of convolutional neural networks on a variety of image classification tasks.
Please send me a message if you know other interesting tips and tricks for training deep neural networks.

 Describe the history of Yerevan.

A King of Kingdom of Van Argishti I, the son of Menua II, succeeded his brother and king Inushpa. During the years of his reign, the Kingdom of Van reached the zenith of its military-political power.
Fighting against Assyria, Argishti got an upper hand and pushed back Assyria’s influence beyond the borders of Northern Mesopotamia, the Commagene, and Northern Assyria. He took over the military and trade routes of the regions of the Eastern Mesopotamia and the southeast of Asia Minor and united the whole Armenian Highlands.
During the reign of King Argishti I, the city-fortresses of Erebuni (modern Yerevan) and Argishtikhinili (Armavir) were built, water channels were dug, temples, palaces, and barns were constructed. Besides, agriculture, handicrafts, and trade developed quite intensively.
Many records of King Arghishti I were discovered, the most known one being the chronicles of Khorkhor. Historians suggest that Argishti was buried in the religious center of Bianlini in the temple of Musasir where a two-ton bronze statue of King Argishti I stands.
In 782 BC, Argishti founded the city-fortress of Erebuni on a hill called Arinberd. Later, the city would be renamed Yerevan. In 1968, the 2750th anniversary of the city was celebrated. In 1998, the capital of the Republic of Armenia Yerevan became 2780 years old.
During excavations, inscriptions of Argishti made right after the foundation of the city were found. Besides, archaeologists unearthed ruins of the kingly palace, the so-called Susy temple.
Erebuni-Yerevan is one of the most ancient cities in the world. It is 29 years older than the “eternal city” of Rome. Some scholars claim that “Erebuni” (or “Ereboun”) means “victory”.
Today, it is hardly possible to guess what exactly the king meant by naming the city “Erebuni”. Maybe it was for the victory of the builders’ spirit. After all, the genius of the Armenian people was quite clearly reflected in the field of construction and architecture.
The Armenians usually enter this world to build, create, and improve their homeland, although Yerevan today is not a symbol of magnificence.
Yerevan is a wonderful lighthouse illuminating the life paths of Armenians living in different parts of the world. It tries to stir up the Armenian genes in the core of its sons and daughters living in foreign lands.

 Describe Facebook's role in the news industry.

Facebook has emerged as newspapers’ public enemy number one. Hardly a day passes in which there is no negative article about the social media website that is luring away “our” readers and advertisers.
There was the blocking of the image of a girl fleeing a napalm attack in Vietnam. It generated outrage from, among others, Norway’s prime minister Erna Solberg in the Guardian, Jane Fae in the Daily Telegraph and Dominic Lawson in the Sunday Times (an excellent piece).
Facebook’s tax affairs have come under the microscope. Questions were raised about Facebook’s attack on ad-blocking software (as if that isn’t in the interest of every news outlet). And there have been plenty of critical articles about Facebook’s news feeds, notably its “trending topics” feature.
It is argued that this narrows users’ news agenda by advising (or “telling”) them what to read. Evidently, people are bound to follow the herd. According to a Pew Research Center study released in May, 66% of Facebook users get news through the site.
These choices are made by algorithms, which can monitor users’ interests and then “feed” them what it believes they wish to read while filtering out material they are supposed not to want. This system therefore creates an “echo chamber” or “filter bubble” effect.
Although I nodded in agreement I couldn’t help but remind myself that it conveniently overlooked the fact that before the arrival of the internet news in newspapers was what newspapers said it was.
It has always been the case from the dawn of media that the controllers of news outlets - newspapers, TV and radio, online - make choices about what to publish and, more significantly, what not to publish. So is there a real need to be especially concerned about Facebook?
By contrast, even the most advanced and successful of newspaper websites are unable to do the same. They can’t compete, she writes, with such sophisticated targeting. Hence the difficulty all are facing in trying to secure enough digital ad revenue to fund their journalism.
Kiss doesn’t develop this single point explicitly. But I will. Facebook’s increasing dominance over advertising is causing the laying off of journalists, the people who produce the news that it transmits to its users.
The logical conclusion to that process is not only the destruction of old media, legacy media, mainstream media, whatever you want to call it, but the end of journalism as we know it.
Before cynics shout about that not being a bad thing (while digital optimists assert that independent, and therefore better, journalism will arise in its place), think of the perils we face without a collective of organised, skilled journalists working for organisations large enough to hold power to account.
The Facebookisation of news has the potential to destabilise democracy by, first, controlling what we read and, second, by destroying the outlets that provide that material.
Kiss cites a Pew Research Center study which found that Facebook is far and away the most popular site for sharing news in the United States.
Turning to the controversy over the control exercised over news choices, she points out that although human editors have been replaced by algorithms, those “robots” are, of course, designed by humans. So decisions on what appears and doesn’t appear is neither neutral nor impartial.
And she is surely on strong ground in questioning the lack of transparency involved in the decisions Facebook makes in creating, and continually tweaking, its algorithms.
I could not agree more. That’s the mission imperilled by Facebook.

 "I am attempting to build a Tesla coil and want to know what tips you may have to reduce blowups of transistors while winding and running the primary coil?"

Building a Tesla coil feels almost like a rite of passage. Certainly my life didn’t feel entirely complete until I built one for myself. I’ve heard this project can be a little frustrating, and indeed it was. You should consider yourself fore-warned; if you undertake this project you are very likely to blow up quite a few transistors before you reach your goal. I did however, find a few tricks along the way which should help you save the lives of some innocent transistors, and perhaps reduce your frustration.
If you are winding your coil by hand I’d suggest you put a dab of super-glue or some other kind of sealant on the winding every inch or so to prevent your work from suddenly becoming undone. You’ll want to keep saving your progress.
See https://www.google.com.au/search?q=tesla+coil+primary&tbm=isch for quite a large range of configurations. Most of these primary configurations are geared toward solving issues that arise in high power Telsa coils. Higher power coils can develop issues whereby sparks run up and down the secondary coil or even jump from the secondary to the primary. Some Tesla coil designs also require fine-tuning the length of the primary, so using a bare-wire primary whose length can easily be adjusted with alligator clips is useful. For my small desktop Tesla coil using the slayer exciter circuit, none of this matters. The slayer circuit automatically tunes itself to the resonant frequency of the secondary, so fine-tuning of the primary isn’t required.
I did some experimentation with different kinds of coils. The primary which tended to work the best pleasingly was also the simplest. I just wrapped 3 or 4 loops of insulated wire around the secondary a small distance above the bottom of the coil and then used electrical tape to hold the primary in place.
The Tesla coil will still function without a top-load in place, but with a top load in place, the resonate frequency will be much lower. A lower switching frequency helps reduce the heat dissipated by your transistor, and in general, is less rough on your it. I’d recommend you don’t run your coil without a top-load as there is less chance of a blown transistor. Without a top-load my coil had a resonant frequency of about 2mhz. With a top-load added the frequency fell to about 1.5mhz; quite a significant reduction. The top-load for the coil can be any disc or spherical shaped object; I made my top-load out of a coffee-tin lid, for example.
This simplicity does come with a downside, as you increase the supply voltage your transistor will most likely die suddenly, and without any warning, this circuit can chew through transistors like nothing else. On the upside, with experimentation I found there are a few steps you can take to dramatically improve the lifespan of your transistors in this circuit.
The most important thing you can do, is exchange the LED for a Schottky diode. Shottky diodes can recover from reverse bias voltage much faster than regular diodes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diode#Reverse-recovery_effect. By using Schottky diodes, your transistor is exposed to the negative base/emitter voltages which are generated by the secondary coil for a much shorter length of time. It is also beneficial to use a larger transistor than the 22222 and also attach it to a big, big, BIG, heat-sink. The slayer exciter circuit causes a lot of heating in the transistor due to slow turn-on and turn-off times.
In this improved circuit, we’ve replaced the LED with a much faster Schottky diode, D1. This diode does a much better job of preventing the collector-emitter junction from being pulled below ground. If the voltage on the base of Q1 is lowered below 0V (Say to -2V) then current will flow through D1 (which is at 0V) and return the base of Q1 to 0V. This drop in voltage at Q1 below ground can occur due to the inductance of the secondary coil.
D2 is added to protects Q1 from high voltages which may develop on the primary coil. The 1N5819 will break-down at about 40V which is comfortably below the TIP31Cs 100V rating.
C1 has been added to the circuit to stabilize the oscillations and to provide the impulses generated by the secondary somewhere to safely dissipate.
With the above modifications, you should be able to run the slayer-exciter circuit on much higher voltages without your transistors blowing up. This circuit is capable of lighting fluorescent from 3 to 6 inches away and even creating small (5mm?) sparks.
On the next post I build a much more powerful version of the slayer exciter circuit.
Previous Post Danger! High Voltage!
Hey, can I use a 100v 3300 microfarad capacitor? The others I have are 25v 100 microfarad!
Sorry for beeing pedantic, but it’s “rite of passage”, not “right of passage”, so “rite” like ritual or ceremony, not “right” like entitlement.
You are most certainly correct, thanks!
Thanks buddy for the heads up on the blown transistors. Had not thought of frequency overload. I am using MJL21194, as I have quite a few.

 Describe the response of Fox News to President Trump and Vladimir Putin's joint press conference in Helsinki, Finland.

Fox News offered a surprisingly nuanced take on the afternoon, while others simply parroted the duo's lies as fact.
President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin held a joint press conference Monday following their diplomatic summit in Helsinki, Finland, and Trump’s performance shocked the world.
Trump displayed his loyalty to Putin and disregard for his own top intelligence officials’ concerns about Russian meddling in American democracy. He spent far more time talking about Hillary Clinton’s emails than he did on the annexation of Crimea, human rights, or the importance of a free media. Putin gleefully dismissed any criticism and cheered Trump along.
Right-wing media subsequently — and unsurprisingly — parroted Putin and Trump’s assertions as fact.
Reading only conservative media would yield the average reader no sign that there was any factual problem with Trump or Putin’s surprisingly copacetic view of the world.
Right-wing conspiracy site Gateway Pundit, for instance, focused on a baseless claim Putin made during the press conference, in which he suggested U.S. intelligence had somehow “move[d] $400 million” into Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign.
The Daily Caller’s homepage gave the impression that Trump confronted Putin about meddling, and despite the “off the rails” criticism from former CIA Director John Brennan, the collusion claims were unfounded. The site also suggested Putin had proved as much by fact-checking an American journalist in the room and asking for facts to support the intelligence community’s claims.
As president, I will always put what is best for America and what is best for the American people. During today’s meeting I addressed the issue of Russian interference in our elections. I felt this was a message best delivered in person. Spent a great deal of time talking about it and president Putin may very well want to address it and very strongly.
The rest of the articles on the front page boost Putin’s claim that his government’s collusion with the Trump campaign is “utter nonsense,” trumpet Trump’s fundraising success for his re-election bid, and criticize Brennan.
InfoWars, a right-wing conspiracy theory site, took Putin’s denial of Russia election meddling at face value. “Russia did not meddle in the 2016 U.S. election and never will, according to Russian President Vladimir Putin,” Infowars founder Alex Jones tweeted.
Other Trump apologists heaped more praise on Trump’s handling of the press conference. Trump apologist Bill Mitchell, a right-wing radio host, argued that standing up to Putin would backfire.
Would Putin be any less likely to "meddle in our elections," if Trump had said, 'BAD BOY!" in Helsinki today?
Really? An ex KGB guy who cares that the President of the United States disapproves of his behavior? Please.
If anything it would have caused Putin to double down.
Fox Business host Neil Cavuto appeared stunned. “This is most incredible thing I ever witnessed,” he said after the press conference. “I can’t see, you know, the front of reporters faces because you get backs of their heads but I imagine a number of dropped jaws.” Cavuto was shocked that Trump did not rebuke Putin for attempting to influence American election.
When the president was asked whether or not he believed the intelligence agencies or what Vladimir Putin told him about meddling in the election, he completely deflected. … He’s developed a little bit of an inroad with Putin, Putin has come a little bit closer to him and he does not want to spoil that with a question about whether or not he believes Putin.
Fox News contributors, usually a friendly retreat for the president, were similarly alarmed.
Trish Regan on Fox Business called the press conference not a good performance and admonished the president for not defending America.

 What can I expect from hooligans at the World Cup in Russia next year?

England fans have been warned that they are “100% guaranteed” to be the target for Russian hooligans at the 2018 World Cup and that the tournament will be “a festival of violence” for some locals.
The claims have been made in a documentary, Russia’s Hooligan Army, which will be screened on BBC2 at 9pm on Thursday evening. The programme also shows groups of young men engaging in prearranged brawls against rival firms and preparing physically in order to be ready for next year’s tournament.
A hooligan known only as Vasily the Killer, head of the Gladiators firm of Spartak Moscow supporters and a figure believed to have helped remotely control events in Marseille, alleged Putin’s involvement and said that hooliganism had given him “principles and courage” along with “this feeling you are on top of Everest and can do anything”.
The advice given by Denis to any potential visitors was to “have a family and children around you or something … if you are there with your male friend you should calculate on getting your arse kicked”.
Denis explained that the organisation of Russian hooligans in Marseille gave them the upper hand in any skirmishes with England supporters and was honed in battles that took place in their own cities. “There is some street-fight tactics that we obviously exercised a lot of times fighting in cities,” he said, suggesting that the English were “always stranded” after failing to operate as a group.
Despite the unsubstantiated claims of Kremlin involvement, many hooligans believe they will be subjected to strong measures before the tournament. “What’s most likely [to] happen [is] they will just take down all leaders, all people who are capable of organising anything and just lock them down,” Denis said.

 What are the biggest tech companies today?

Who are these fantastic companies? Amazon is the leader in e-commerce. Apple reinvented mobile devices and content distribution. Facebook is the largest social network in the world, a big brother in the making. Google is the biggest web and search company.
I almost won't argue with the choice of the Fab Four. To me, these are truly the technology companies that are moving things forward. To be honest, the list is bit of an understatement for Microsoft, even though that doesn't change the fact I'm trying to put out here. These four corporations (their software at least) are more B2C (Business To Consumer) than B2B (Business To Business) oriented. Even Microsoft, with its XBox, Bing, Windows (Phone and Tablet) programs is shifting focus to consumer markets.
The B2B software market is still huge, but electronic commerce, online advertising and the economy of scale of billions of users spending a few dollars is slowly outperforming more expensive business solutions sold fewer times, even if they are deployed millions of times as operating systems, products or services. If you check out the following charts, you can see information about market capitalization, revenue and historical price change of these companies (Facebook is not public yet, but it's IPO could be around $100 billion) compared to traditional technology companies such as Oracle, Microsoft and IBM. The numbers are pretty interesting (source: ycharts).
Some business software companies, such as Salesforce.com have managed to adapt to this situation, offering a platform others can upgrade and develop on. We're adapting too, on a smaller scale. Neolab is still mostly focused on B2B software, since that's where we've built our market. Sure, we did a few web portals and are working on deploying our own user-targeted service Twitfluence, but it's business-oriented software that we generally work on. But that doesn't change the fact we are fully aware that the concept of software is changing, and we are on top of it, trying to embrace these trends and include new paradigms in corporate infromation systems. Social, user-oriented, user-friendly. Knowing that people are behind every company.
Software is maturing; consumers are getting more and more demanding, brands behind the software are getting more and more important. And as the Web expands even further, this fact will become yet more obvious. It's you and me who are the ones who are "buying" software. Which is great, since in the end the ordinary people, not corporations, will be those who will decide how software and technology of the future will look like. Interactive, useful and fun. Here we are now, entertain us.

 Describe the potential U.S. military parade mentioned in the text.

The White House confirmed on Tuesday that President Donald Trump has asked the Pentagon to explore organizing a major military parade -- a desire he first expressed after the martial welcome he received on a visit to France last year.
Sanders appeared to confirm the gist of an earlier Washington Post article about initial preparations for a parade on par with the one Trump witnessed for Bastille Day.
The Pentagon said late Tuesday it is working on the details.
"We are aware of the request and are in the process of determining specific details," it said in a statement. "We will share more information throughout the planning process."
Not everyone thinks it’s a grand idea, however, for the United States to stage a similar display of pomp and circumstance, which some see as undercutting the quiet professionalism of the American armed forces compared to other nations.
In his view the public has plenty of opportunities to give thanks to the troops.
“We have Veterans Day and Memorial Day,” said Bednarek, adding that such an event will be expensive and time-consuming to pull off. "We don't need to spend Americans' taxpayer dollars laying on a parade."
He said he also worries that the intention may be less about honoring the troops and more about outdoing other militaries.
“We, as Americans and the Department of Defense, do not want to come across as doing one-upmanship of the North Koreans or the Russians or the Chinese, parading our military might," he said.
Those nations often put on military parades for domestic propaganda purposes and to showcase new military hardware.
"We know our capability," said Bednarek. "I don't think a separate military parade is needed."
Trump has long been fascinated by the prospect of a military parade and has previously mused to administration officials about holding one in Washington, according to aides. But it wasn’t clear until Tuesday how serious he was about the plan.
The last major U.S. military parade in the nation's capital was following the lightning-fast American victory over the Iraqi army in the 1991 Persian Gulf War.
