The program's four lead partners—Grand Forks, the Grand Forks School District, Lutheran Social Services and the Community Violence Intervention Center—used the money to support extensive bullying and sexual-assault prevention programs, therapy services for child victims and character-building efforts such as the Coaching Boys into Men program. Over time, Safer Tomorrows activities were offered in every public school and three parochial schools in Grand Forks County. The federal grant support ran out last month. So, Safer Tomorrows leaders now are reporting back to the county about what the program accomplished and what efforts might be sustained into the future. In December, some of the leaders spoke to the Herald editorial board. A transcript of the conversation is below; it has been edited for clarity and length. □ □ □ Q. Did Safer Tomorrows start with the grant that you won in Washington several years ago? Pete Haga, Grand Forks community/government relations officer: Yes. Since 2012, Safer Tomorrows has received a total of $3.3 million to work toward ending or mitigating childhood exposure to violence in Grand Forks County. We're now sunsetting on the federal grant, but we're sunrising on our efforts to sustain the program into the future. Q. What was the background for the project? Kristi Hall-Jiran, executive director, Community Violence Intervention Center: I don't know if you're familiar with the Adverse Childhood Experiences study. We call it ACE for short. Basically, it was a study that was done some years ago that looked at kids who had experienced trauma during childhood. The things that are counted as ACEs are things like seeing violence in the home, having a parent die, going through a divorce, being a victim of child abuse. So, what the study showed was that besides higher rates of depression and anxiety, there was a very high correlation between the ACEs and physical ailments as well, including things like cancer, heart disease, diabetes. For example, if kids have four or more ACEs, they actually start having neurochemical changes in their brains. And what that can lead to is three times the rate of academic failure, seven times the rate of alcoholism, 12 times the rate of suicide attempts.

But even if developers go above and beyond to avoid flaws that can be exploited by hackers, attackers can often still take advantage of vulnerabilities in the design of the underlying programming language. At the recent Black Hat Europe conference, IOActive security services revealed it had identified flaws in five major, interpreted programming languages that could be used by hackers in crafting an attack. \"With regards to the interpreted programming languages vulnerabilities, software developers may unknowingly include code in an application that can be used in a way that the designer did not foresee,\" it writes. SEE: Hiring kit: Python developer (Tech Pro Research) \"Some of these behaviors pose a security risk to applications that were securely developed according to guidelines.\" These are the five programming languages and the flaws that were identified: 1. Python Currently enjoying a surge in usage, Python is regularly used by web and desktop developers, sysadmin/devops, and more recently by data scientists and machine-learning engineers. The IOActive paper found that Python contains undocumented methods and local environment variables that can be used to execute operating-system commands. Both Python's mimetools and pydoc libraries have undocumented methods that can be exploited in this way, which IOActive used to run Linux's id command. 2. Perl Popular for web server scripting, sysadmin jobs, network programming and automating various tasks, Perl has been in use since the late 1980s. IOActive highlights the fact that Perl contains a function that will attempt to execute one of the arguments passed to it as Perl code. It describes the practice as a \"hidden feature\" within a default Perl function for handling typemaps. 3. NodeJS NodeJS provides a server-side environment for executing JavaScript, the language commonly used for scripting in web browsers. IOActive found that NodeJS' built-in error messages for its require function could be exploited to determine whether a file name existed on the machine and to leak the first line of files on a system—potentially useful information for an attacker. 4. JRuby The Java implementation of the Ruby programming language was found to allow remote code execution in a way that isn't possible in Ruby as a base language. By calling executable Ruby code using a specific function in JRuby, IOActive was able to get the function to execute an operating system command, the Linux command id, by loading a file on a remote server", "label": 0, "domain": "news", "token_count": 500, "matched_pair_id": null, "split": "test"} +{"id": "bureaucratic_test_0_00007", "text": ".

MORGAN: (Speaking Spanish). FREDRICK: \"Our outlet promotes freedom of expression,\" says Morgan. \"Our comments sections are open, so it's become routine for us to receive threats there.\" Last week, Max wrote about a string of murdered police officers and named the head of a local gang as the mastermind. There are five comments on the story. One ominously reads you're lighting the candles for your own funeral, Max. Three days later, Rodriguez were shot to death as he pulled up in front of a supermarket. It was the exact kind of crime he would have run to cover, camera phone in hand. On Sunday night, the state government said that the same weapon was used in the murder of Max and the police officer Max had reported on the week before, meaning he was likely targeted for his work.

Two of the three major updates to iOS in 11.4 are centered around the HomePod, Apple's Siri-powered Amazon Echo competitor, adding features such as easier pairing and AirPlay 2-enabled speaker support. The biggest change that business users should be aware of is the addition of iCloud storage for iMessages. Users who choose to store iMessages in iCloud will free up device space and automatically sync iMessages across devices, but there is a trade-off: iCloud has been hacked before. The more personal, or sensitive business, information you store in iCloud the more you stand to lose if your account is compromised. Storing iMessages in iCloud: How to do it safely iOS users who want to store their iMessages in iCloud can do so with very few steps: Just open the Settings app, tap on your name, then on iCloud, and make sure the Messages option is toggled on. iOS will then offload all your iMessages to your iCloud storage space and you should see some freed up storage pretty quickly. If your iCloud account were to be hacked, however, the attacker could gain access to all your iMessage conversations as well as the attachments they contain. There's no surefire way to prevent your iCloud account from being compromised: If an attacker finds a backdoor in Apple's security (which happens with some degree of regularity) they will gain access, like it or not. SEE: Research: Defenses, response plans, and greatest concerns about cybersecurity in an IoT and mobile world (Tech Pro Research) That doesn't mean you can't defend yourself. The simplest method is to enable two-factor authentication on your iCloud account. Two-factor authentication, like most other methods of cybersecurity, isn't foolproof but it's the best step you can take to avoid ending up like the dozens of celebrities who had their iCloud data stolen in 2014. A good rule of thumb when it comes to personal cloud storage services like iCloud is to avoid storing anything truly confidential in it. For business users this can be a variety of things—proposals, internal use documents, and other records should only be stored in business-controlled cloud accounts. Should businesses allow iCloud syncing for iMessages? Businesses that use iOS should be wary of allowing users to sync iMessages to iCloud: It's convenient, but it's simply too great a risk for companies concerned with data", "label": 0, "domain": "news", "token_count": 500, "matched_pair_id": null, "split": "test"} +{"id": "bureaucratic_test_0_00016", "text": "Given that this is presently my \\\"home airport\\\" I'd better know it enough to review it given that I feel quick to comment on the other airports I've been through.\\n\\nBottom line: the place is relatively clean, easy to navigate (in comparison) and is almost done up-fitting the retail to come up to the current trend of \\\"mall-like\\\" experiences. \\n\\nAll terminals are span out from a center like the hub and spoke system of the airlines.

A flurry of busses constantly circuits from the lots to the terminal and, unless you arrive late at night, are plentiful and well-marked. After hours we have much better success contacting an airport employee to let them know which bus we fare looking for. Just remember where you park- long term one is very different from long term 2!\\n\\nFor those wanting a higher level of service, there is also terminal level valet and business valet. While I get the convenience of pulling up to the terminal and dropping off they keys, I do not understand the business valet- it is further away than remote parking and you still have to ride a bus. Yes, they will change your oil and clean the car (for an additional price) but the premium you pay here does not justify the product. My advice: skip business valet entirely.\\n\\nOtherwise, CLT is a typical airport but modern, clean, and open enough to make your time there easier to enjoy.", "label": 0, "domain": "review", "token_count": 442, "matched_pair_id": null, "split": "test"} +{"id": "bureaucratic_test_0_00017", "text": "So, dear Reddit. Please, someone here has to know of a way they can help us. We're the Puerto Rican chapter of Free Culture (FC@UPRM/Puerto Rico), and five of us were going to leave Puerto Rico on the 12'th, and return to Puerto Rico on the 15'th. This was so we could participate in all the conferences and activities in Washington D.C., Free Culture X. Our president made a small mistake and booked the flight for the 13'th instead of the 12'th, we called them up today (only 4 days after we booked the flight), and they want $180 (per person) to change the day to the 12'th. This ends up coming up at $900. We already asked a company to pay for our tickets, and we made a promise with them to give some conferences on what we learned during FCX. Free Culture is going to send up $850 for all the other expenses, so we were thinking of taking those $850, adding $50 and changing the tickets. But before we do this, I thought I'd ask if anyone knows of a cheaper way to get it done. We're all college students. And there are other costs to consider: Food, hotel, taxi/train/subway, etc. If anyone knows of a way we can get a better price, please post it here. All help is appreciated. We don't want to ask for money, there are places that are much more in need (Haiti, for example), but we want to try and get the price change at least a bit lower, in order to be able to handle the expenses a bit better. Any Orbitz/US Airways worker that can help? tl;dr: Orbitz is nailing us with $180/person to change our flight to one day longer.

Patterson: Andrew, last question for you, what about the security? All of us adopting Internet of Things, see security as an integral component of the entire infrastructure. What role does cybersecurity and cyber defense play in adoption of IoT devices? Bennett: Yeah look, the software, the hardware that we deliver for our clients, you know we are working with folks that are driving mission critical OT out there in the industry. So that's the good news. The bad news is that those clients are always gonna be targets, you know really aggressive nation state type attacks, not just your run of the mill hacker. So for us, as a company, when you kind of go back to thinking about EcoStruxure and those three stacks, I think the important thing is to think, not just about how well hardened is that connected product, 'cause some of them aren't. They weren't historically, they were just maybe a thermometer, right, and so you wouldn't think about how you had to protect just a little device. But you have to think about cybersecurity comprehensively across that entire stack. Not just the products, not just the edge control, but the software layer at the top. So, for us as a company, that's really our approach to think about all three of those aspects of EcoStruxure, how we not just bring new devices and add new IO to that environment, but how we think about cybersecurity from the product design level all the way up to that top stack of software, so, it's a big challenge, and you know we take it pretty seriously as a company, as you can imagine.

If businesses invest in AI and human-machine collaboration at the same rate as top-performing companies, they could boost revenues by 38% by 2022, the report found, lifting profits by $4.8 trillion globally. These businesses could also raise employment levels by 10% in that timeframe.

Further, 61% said the share of roles requiring collaboration with AI will rise in the next three years.

For some background, I was a skinny kid until midway through grade school when I had a bout of clinical depression and weekly hospital visits during which I put on a ton of weight rapidly, taking me from the average flat-stomached eight year old to categorically obese in a few months. After about six years, early in high school, I lost 50 pounds straight without any exercise which left me with an unalterable amount of excess skin.

Now, I'm in my early twenties, and I've been eating healthily for several years, my weight remains stable, and I've lifted weights from three to five days a week for over a year. It's my lifestyle. Despite the strength gains, excellent health, and increased tone, I still suffer from visible, albeit somewhat mild, gynecomastia, love handles and pouch. This sort of excess skin is visible through any cloth, so I am way too self-conscious to even wear t-shirts that would otherwise look great on me.

I have no idea how no one has fallen out riding this - the seating design is revolutionary and freeing and allows completely uninhibited body movement from the waste up. It is the only coaster my husband felt terrified of while riding and he begged to skip this one a second time around. I, for one, felt very secure for some reason and loved the height and speed.

It was scary, exciting, and unique.\\n\\nI really liked how the park was designed - no space was wasted. You do not have to walk a quarter mile between fun things to do. The park is huge and hosts a surprising amount of roller coasters, but we did not feel exhausted walking the park itself all day. It was incredibly easy to navigate. Additionally, there were so many cool kid's exhibits and rides that were a big step up from most amusement parks I'm accustomed to.\\n\\nMy only real gripe is with some of the workers.

It's the biggest airport in North and South Carolina, so it offers the most options when it comes to flights. This typically means lower airfare, more scheduling flexibility, and a larger number of non-stop flights. CLT to SFO, FTW.\\n\\nGrowing up in High Point, our family's \\\"home\\\" airport was naturally Greensboro's Piedmont Triad International Airport (PTI). It's a fine airport if you're making a short regional/east coast trip. However, more often than not, you will have to connect somewhere if your itinerary originates or ends at PTI. That can be an inconvenience.\\n\\nMore often these days, if flying into or out of North Carolina and trying to get to the Triad, we'll bypass PTI altogether and instead use CLT (and in some instances, RDU - Raleigh/Durham International Airport). The less-than-1.5-hour drive from the Triad to CLT is worth the time savings and hassle of having to connect in Chicago, DC, Dallas, Houston, etc.\\n\\nCurrently, the Charlotte airport is in the midst of major expansion/renovation. Passenger traffic is growing and the airport is trying to keep up. While the airport is a hub for US Airways, it still feels relatively small. No need for people movers. You can walk in a straight line and cover all the terminals in a short amount of time. This is good and bad - no need to navigate/walk long distances, but when it's packed, it's packed (not a whole lot of space). There are multiple security checkpoints and you can easily go from one to another to find shorter lines.\\n\\nThe airport has many years on it, but it's well maintained and feels comparatively modern and clean. One of the best things about Charlotte's airport are the inexpensive parking fees. Unfortunately, parking fees will be increasing soon, but will remain at reasonable levels. Long-term lots will increase to $7 a day from $5 a day and daily parking will increase to $10 a day from $7 a day. The hourly deck and valet prices are set to increase too. All parking at CLT requires shuttle access to the terminals.\\n\\nOverall, Charlotte Douglas is a solid airport for the Carolinas.", "label": 0, "domain": "review", "token_count": 485, "matched_pair_id": null, "split": "test"} +{"id": "bureaucratic_test_0_00052", "text": "The SMHS left the space over the course of last summer to move into a brand-new facility just a few blocks away.

Some of the functions that would move over now are housed in buildings slated to be taken offline by the university. As proposed to the SBHE, the renovations would be funded by $1.3 million in extraordinary repair funding and $2 million in appropriated funds. An SBHE summary of the university's proposal states UND indicated there is a \"high probability\" that digital classrooms will be built while the renovations are taking place. The summary states the board would not consider approval of additional classroom space until prior approval of the university's strategic plan, along with the portion of a master plan which identifies facility needs for programming. The request from UND was heard Tuesday by the board's budget and finance committee. North Dakota University System communications director Billie Jo Lorius said the committee has asked UND for additional information.

All of this energy goes into punishment and catching students misbehaving. What is it good for? I just found out that the high school I went to punishes students based on myspace/facebook information, performs random drug tests, students are unable to leave the class room for any reason(nurse,bathroom) without an escort, they actually have to call the office and request an escort if you have to pee and any electronic device (cell phone, ipod, laptop) is confiscated/searched upon sight. This transpired mostly after my senior year. During my freshman to sophomore year people would smoke in the bathrooms/cars, go to mcdonalds during lunch, ok, those aren't the best examples, but there was a sense of freedom. It didn't really seem like much of a problem. I actually felt much more grown up, as if I was given trust. Then some new principals came in. First came the strict dress code, neck ID cards, then came the cameras, hall lights were turned off to save energy creating a creepy flouro-flickering enviorment, and the soda machines were only on during lunch, oh yeah, they jacked up the cost of the candy table to like 4 dollars for a snickers too, which in turn hurt the non-school funded organizations whose parents volunteered to work the table during lunches(many parents stopped coming to help) and it made the fat kids feel even worse. This trend only continued in the years since I was out of there. As a person who is of age to be teaching at the high school now. I have to ask myself how I could support such an environment that is harmful to the development of a young mind. I am sure a lot of the kids go along with the flow for the sake of pleasing.

What I really hope beyond just the products of what it can do, is really that it'll change the way that we do things, right. Like in society today, there are consequences for things that you do. You can't just press the delete button or change, right. So you think about these sort of things before you actually act on them.

We're the men and women that are supposed to make decisions, provide guidance, and answer tough questions. These are important leadership skills, but increasingly, so is asking the right questions. The rapid pace of change increasingly means we as leaders simply cannot have a functional knowledge of every discipline that's required to compete effectively in today's market.

First, it allows you to call on specific people when you need expertise in a particular area. Secondly, it can help identify areas where your team is lacking. You may have a dozen technologists, but no one that can think through how to make employees more effective. Or, you might have a room full of great thinkers on customer experience, but no one that knows the capabilities and limitations of the tools required to deliver those experiences.

Here are the three main ways it's changing the game: 1. The impact of Next Gen Stats on NFL teams One week of NFL games now creates 3TB of data, NFL CIO Michelle McKenna-Doyle said in her presentation at Amazon's re:Invent conference last November. After each game, the league now exports a trove of data to each team to help them evaluate their overall performance and their players. The league provides some basic tools to help the teams evaluate the data along with a few basic insights. Some teams have their own data scientists or analytics partners to take it further. The teams are using the data to help inform their training, fitness, and game preparation. But there's one big caveat that's keeping them from using the data to plan game strategies and draw up plays. \"Right now clubs are getting just their side of the ball, and so that's a decision point that's coming up,\" said the NFL's Swensson. \"We want to be able to ultimately get to a place where both sides of the ball are available to clubs, so they can do a lot more interesting analysis.\" In other words, teams don't get their opponents' in-depth data or the patterns that machine learning can see. That's a big topic for the NFL in the upcoming off-season, and it's an issue that's up for consideration by the NFL Competition Committee. Image: NFL 2. The impact of Next Gen Stats on NFL broadcasts The place where Next Gen Stats has made its most visible impact is on the television broadcasts of NFL games by CBS Sports (both TechRepublic and CBS Sports are owned by CBS). AWS has brought the data visualizations of Next Gen Stats into CBS broadcasts and given CBS analysts data points to explain some of the most important plays in the game. AWS is also working with the NFL's other broadcast partners to bring similar capabilities next season. Some of the Next Gen Stats that analysts now have access to include, for example: Real-time location data on all of the players Player speed and acceleration Total running distance for each player for the entire game The amount of separation that receivers get from their defenders The pressure rate that defenses have on quarterbacks Percentage of quarterback throws into tight windows Announcers such as former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo—a new color commentator at CBS this season—have embraced the data and used it to help give viewers an inside look at why some of the plays on the field succeed and others don't.", "label": 0, "domain": "news", "token_count": 500, "matched_pair_id": null, "split": "test"} +{"id": "bureaucratic_test_0_00079", "text": "Backstory: My Dad and Step-Mum recently found a mirror with powder residue and a rolled up supermarket receipt (classy) in my brother's bedroom when looking for a suitcase in his cupboard.

What percentage of the total charge is located in the region 0 < *r* < *a*/2? At first I was stumped, but I managed to find a solution. Obviously, the percentage will be the amount of charge Q inside the radius *a*/2 divided by the total charge Q over the whole sphere. So I simply took the integral of Q from 0-a/2 and divided that by the integral of Q from 0-a. The formula for Q being Q=*p*V where *p=c(a-r).* Thus the integral was *int [(c)(a-r)(4/3)(pi)(r^3) dr]*. My answer reduced to 18.7%, which I suppose makes sense considering that even though there are several variables that are not defined, the ratio of Q will remain unchanged no matter their value.

When people out of state start throwing in $6 million to $8 million, I get worried.

John Lewis and Hank Johnson. Ossoff himself actually lives just outside the district (though he grew up in it). Republicans have hammered him on that fact and claimed he's tried to inflate his resume and the national-security work he did as an aide for Johnson. They've tried to highlight his age,too. Ossoff and his supporters argue fresh, young blood isn't necessarily a bad thing. Former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julian Castro was on hand to help Ossoff on Saturday, and he was quick to underscore the national implications of the race on Tuesday and beyond, especially in the wake of that Kansas special election last week, where the Democratic candidate outperformed Trump by 20 points in the district. \"For everyone out there who is a little bit uncomfortable with the idea that the Republicans control everything, especially with a president that is so erratic, the best way to make sure that we can have some balance is to make sure that the Democrats take back the House,\" Castro said — an effort he underscored began on Tuesday. For Democrats shocked by last November's results, Ossoff's campaign has become a vehicle for them to try to affect change. Megan Prince-Miller, 33, was one of the many volunteers who came out on Saturday to campaign for Ossoff on a warm spring day, ready to knock on doors even though she was heavily pregnant and due in three weeks. \"We're having our first baby, a daughter, and, you know, it's just been on the back of our minds — what kind of world is she going to live in?

I am here for several reasons, and I will describe them now and encourage others to do the same. A few years ago, I was a male-hating feminist that read into the feminist diatribe. I apologized for my gender on many occasions and generally disliked the male influence in the world. What changed in that regard is that I started to learn philosophy, and the rules of logic and argument. From this, I started to pay more attention to the arguments that were made and I was more able to see through the bullshit. I realized that Men's Rights was a serious issue. Then, a few years ago, my University sent out an email that warned all students to be on the lookout for \"a male approaching women on and off campus seeking social interaction\" - and something snapped. I could understand if this was an issue of a guy harassing women, following them around, being lewd, whatever. But apparently some female reported a guy who was looking for social interaction? So apparently, \"Hi, how are you?\" was outlawed? At this point, I started a movement at my University. I did a lot of research for this movement (which failed, in the end) that ended up leading me here - /r/mensrights. I guess you could say that I am here due to a Women's Privilege issue that I think is outrageously unfair. *shrug* In the end, I support the cause of Men's Rights because I feel it is the morally correct thing to do. My experience as a pro-feminist has given me all the more incentive also, as I know the other side very well. I am supported by my Mother, Aunt and girlfriend, who all agree with the movement and give me advice and counter-opinion when I am still uncertain about an issue.

I sort of equate legislation with a contract, as they are binding documents into law and many congressmen (and women) don't bother to even read what they are agreeing to or disagreeing with. I find it abhorrent that congress would vote things into law without reading it. This is sheer laziness in my opinion. As a side note, if reading all legislation prior to voting on it was a requirement, it might also help shorten legislation with a hope that everyone would read it. This would help the common man understand legislation a little better as well. Thoughts? EDIT: The vast majority believe according to the input would indicate that they want their congressmen/women to read proposed legislation or that they would like it if it were feasible. My thought is that it is feasible, but it would require condensation of the law and an understanding that this is a requirement of a senator or representative going into office. That's just my opinion. Great topic to discuss though.

I work within a group of six programmers, lead by our Fearless Leader who controls what goes into our trunk. Our Fearless Leader is both a developer and a manager, and therefore is quite busy, yet he is the gateway for all code to enter the trunk of our repository. In order for our new code to be included, a patch is created and emailed to everyone. Someone is assigned to be the reviewer, an email thread goes back and forth until the reviewer is happy, and then when the Fearless Leader gets around to it, he makes any modifications and finally applies it. This bottleneck has created a many month long backlog of patches that aren't pressing enough to warrant inspection by our Fearless Leader. Old patches suffer severe bit rot due to the trunk changing since they were created. We are at a point where it is clear a change needs to happen, so I though I'd poll the rest of /r/programming to see how you guys address the problem. Fundamental problems in our approach from my point of view: * The trunk should be for development and branches should be for stable code. Not the other way around. * A single code-review bottleneck impedes check-in progress, but can enforce quality. Maybe full testing coverage could replace the need for an eyeball on each line. * code-review by email is possibly not the most efficient/educational approach.

In Washington, there was no immediate response to a request for comment from the Trump administration, which faces a stiff challenge from a defiant North Korea over its nuclear arms program and the test of a ballistic missile last weekend.

I guess the big questions are .. 1) Will it be difficult for me to find an IT job in paris give that i speak only basic French atm and have no degree? 2) I have a dog, a german shepherd, will i be able to rent in paris with him? (its hard to find landlords here that are pet friendly) 3) Any hints/tips from people who have done something similar? how did it work out for you guys/gals ?

Let me see, perhaps because I lack a car and you're the most conveniently located grocery store, a mere 2 mi. from my apartment and on the route of the 71A & C? No, let's be honest here: the real reason is because I'm too cheap to shop at the \\\"whole paycheck,\\\" Trader Joe's is too inconvenient, and I'm unimpressed with the product quality and selection at Aldi and its ilk.\\n\\nOn the positive side, this store is larger and fancier than the grocery store I grew up with, and the cheese and bulk foods sections are impressive (the latter includes a make-your-own trail mix bar!). They also have a lot of prepared foods, and though I don't often buy them, the quality of those I've tried has been high (esp. the fried chicken!). This store has a wide selection of groceries, ranging from the inexpensive (Valu Time) to the pricey (organic and natural foods), so, like Barnum's circus, there's something here for everyone. On the weekends, store employees often hand out food samples, and there are sometimes cooking demos at the test kitchen near the seafood section.\\n\\nOn the negative side, the employees working the checkout lines are often taciturn or surly, and the crowds in here on the weekends are a force to be reckoned with. The aisles are narrow to the point of awkwardness when passing other shoppers. Product placement is unintuitive to the point that I often have to ask employees for assistance when locating an item I don't usually buy. Also, as others have mentioned, the produce--particularly the loose green vegetables--is often of questionable quality. Compared to Trader Joe's and Aldi et al., the prices are on the higher side, though they still look like a deal next to Whole Foods.\\n\\nThankfully, because I don't have a car, I don't have to deal with the parking situation, which I'm reminded of when I come here in a car with a friend on occasion. However, I do have to schlep my groceries across the street and onto the bus, which is equally annoying.

So why do I find myself preferring to play through Diablo 2 for the 278th time? I have put it down to a few things; * Character variety and customization. One of the best things about D2 is that there are 7 different classes which all play very differently. In addition to this, there is about 5 or 6 ways to play each character. You can play a poison necro (my favourite), a bone spell necro, a curse necro, a summon necro, a golem necro, and a few others just on that one character. Where as in Torchlight there are only a few powerful spells per each character, and since they are maxed out at 10 you can usually use all of them without the need to specialise at all. * Environmental Variety. The environments in Torchlight look spectacular. Every single different area has excellent little details and beats out Diablo 2 visually in almost every aspect. However. They are all essentially the same map with a different skin. Diablo 2 had large open areas you could run around, then you would go down into cramped and narrow dungeons, it had buildings, caves, fields, jungles, etc. Each area looked different and felt different as well. As good looking as Torchlight's areas are, they are all the same when you get down to it. * Loot. Torchlight rains down loot upon the character, especially once you level up treasure hunter, you are finding something unique or set every couple of minutes. This severly undermines the value of such items. In D2 finding a unique/set outside of a boss run is awesome because it happens so rarely. That, and they are usually significantly better then what you are using. Torchlight lacks hugely powerful unique weapons, the type that you will have trouble ever replacing because they are just so good. I have never used a weapon in Torchlight longer then a few hours before it is replaced by something better. This is what I put the main differences down to.

While the space and service warrant a 4.5 star rating, one can summarize most dishes as high quality yet forgettable rip-offs.\\n\\nNot that this designation makes sense or anything at this point, but read on. I'm not going to go into the details of the dishes I ate, as they probably won't be on the menu in the near future. Soba's seasonality is something that makes it stand out, and I appreciate the sourcing of the ingredients. Speaking of the ingredients, everything is a rather high quality, which is to be expected at the price point. My scallops were deliciously meaty and sugar sweet, and my vegetarian dining companion's vegetables all tasted quite fresh. The rhubarb in my desert had a perfectly tangy, subtly sweet flavor. Proteins and veggies stand out.\\n\\nBut the dishes, as a whole, don't warrant the price point. Soba tries to communicate subtlety in flavoring of its food, and it carries this principle of subtlety a bit too far. In fact, the food ends up being on the slightly bland, underseasoned side more often than not. For example, the broth in my entree tasted only vaguely of the soy and ginger promised, and my friend's red curry exhibited anemic spicing. Flaws in execution are similarly prevalent; my noodles and my friend's rice were too mushy. Such flaws didn't detract too heavily from the dining experience, but when I'm paying $70+ (appetizer, dinner, dessert, and drink) for a meal I'm expecting complex flavor and texture contrasts, deft seasoning, and meticulous technique. To that end, Soba fails.

Allow users to opt out of feature updates altogether Not everyone appreciates Microsoft's twice-yearly feature updates messing with their desktop, and, for some, the smattering of new features are, at best, unnecessary. Microsoft should give all users the option to completely opt out of feature updates—the most recent being the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update— and instead only receive essential patches and fixes. As it is, users of Pro and Enterprise can defer feature updates for more than a year, so why not go one step further and let everyone opt out altogether.

There's even already precedent for the change, with Microsoft recently revealing that PCs with unsupported Intel Atom CPUs would not receive any feature updates post last summer's Anniversary Update. 4.

After four minutes the song was over and I reached in my pocket to give her the 30 + 5 dollars for a tip, when she explained I actually owed her 60 dollars because it was 2 songs. By my count it was one dance. Apparently she decided to count the 5 minutes of time we spent talking over the drinks i bought her as part of the dance as well. I thought she was kidding and gave her the $ 35. This beautiful little angel suddenly became a crazy little devil. She called her manager and made me out to be some kind of lunatic lowlife cheapskate. I politely explained the situation to the manager but he insisted i pay up which i promptly did . After wards i made a quick exit. \\n\\nThere was no mistaken that I was being blatantly scammed here. I was in the club for less then 10 minutes and hadn't even finished my first beer, and was not drunk in the least. Unless you don't mind being scammed by a dancer, and paying 60 dollars for a 4 minute dance I would steer clear from this establishment . A night I was hoping to relax over a beer and a beautiful dancer cost me 80 dollars for less then 10 minutes of harassment and aggravation. It appears to be a pretty good club and i couldn't say if they regularly scam the patrons, but they sure as hell scammed me. On principle I'll avoid this place and I'll tell my friends to go elsewhere as well.

But Siri's very low score dovetails with the years of complaints users have had with how Siri functions. The Street's Leon Lazaroff wrote that Siri's main problem is a consumer base expecting it to function like other virtual assistants, which it cannot do because it was designed for a very specific purpose. \"Siri's job is to integrate those devices, it's meant to grease the connections between Apple devices, making the iPhone integral to the iPad, AppleWatch and AppleTV — and all points in between,\" Lazaroff wrote. \"The problem for Apple is that people have come to expect a voice-activated device that can answer relatively easy questions fast and efficiently, and Siri...has mostly fallen short.\" Siri's inability to answer basic questions like Amazon's Alexa, Microsoft's Cortana, and Google Assistant has left users confused about what the feature is actually supposed to do. Verge journalist Walt Mossberg wrote in 2016 that Apple \"wasted its lead\" with Siri and was too slow to add features and functionality that its rivals had already mastered. \"Siri's huge promise has been shrunk to just making voice calls and sending messages to contacts, and maybe getting the weather, using voice commands. If you try and treat Siri like a truly intelligent assistant, aware of the wider world, it often fails, even though Apple presentations and its Siri website suggest otherwise,\" Mossberg wrote. A study done by Stone Temple last year found that Siri \"only answered 21.7 percent of questions and nailed 62.2 percent of them completely, correctly,\" noting that \"Alexa and Siri both face the limitation of not being able to leverage a full crawl of the web to supplement their knowledge bases. It will be interesting to see how they both address that challenge.\" Despite the challenges with Siri, Apple should be heartened to know that most users gave the iPhone X very high scores on almost everything else, and Bajarin said Apple is set up nicely for the future. \"Overall, the data we collected around iPhone X show that if Apple is truly using this product as the baseline for innovation for the next decade, then they are off to a strong start and have built a solid foundation,\" Bajarin wrote in the report.

I knew the tv, model number and every other information and they still would not help. So they said they had to page someone. After waiting another five to ten minutes someone finally came. Lets put it this way..... he treated me like I cut his break short or whatever he was doing out back. He barely said only one word to me, put the tv in the computer, rang me up and thats it. The only time he was slightly pleasant was when he tried to upsell me and I politely said no thank you. Then he went back to his original way.

People want a role—a big role—in government. Having many points at which citizens can be a part of government implements the cultural idea that everybody is important and should \"have a say.\" If we haven't dissuaded the governor from reinventing, he would be well advised to choose only those entities that have no constituencies, because constituencies rise up with a wrath when abolition or consolidation of their entity is proposed. For example, if he told the barbers he was going to mess with their licensing board, he would have to go out-of-state for a haircut. While the office holders, agencies and their constituencies will be arrayed against him, the governor will be spending lot of political capital on something about which the citizenry does not care a hoot, meaning that the governor will have no citizen uprising on behalf of reinventing. He'll be out there alone. Reinventing North Dakota state and local governments would require the effort of a mountain to produce a molehill.

But we're also going to do both new and old, so A Chorus Line, Marvin Hamlisch's great book. Fiddler on the Roof. We're doing a beautiful orchestral setting, and this is really cool, arranged by the great film composer John Williams.\" Dowdy continued with his rundown. \"And then My Fair Lady--Lerner and Lowe, just a wonderful duo--I Could've Danced All Night. Second half we're going to kick off with something newer--the music from Wicked. Very wonderful Steven Schwartz music. Cabaret--Fabulous musical. And it is interesting how these musicals tend to jump to Hollywood. Here's one that went the other way: The Lion King. Started as this wonderful animated special. Music by Elton John, Hans Zimmer, great collaborators, but then jumped to Broadway. And then we're going to end the concert with Oklahoma...Rodgers and Hammerstein, the great orchestrator, Robert Russell Bennett.

It was nothing amazing but I think it takes a really special salad to be amazing. I also tried my girlfriends bisque and unsurprisingly found it to be a bit tomato-y since I do not enjoy tomatoes very much but she really enjoyed it. For my entree I decided to get two small plates instead of a larger entree and settled on the mac n cheese and fish tacos. The tacos were a bit sloppy/wet but had some nice flavors (cilantro, aoili and pico) in them along with some chili sauce that gave it a nice little kick. My mac n cheese came out in its own little cast iron type pot and was good. There was an adequate amount of cheese throughout and I liked that they even had some ricotta buried inside the dish. I was also able to try the Arrabbita that one of our dining companions had ordered. Wow was it good and it packed quite the spicy punch too. Immediately I regretted not ordering it although I still did enjoy my two small plates. For my dessert course I ended up having the White Chocolate Creme Brulee. My girlfriend decided upon the tiramisu while another at our table had the peaches and puff pastry. All of the desserts seemed large and made sure that we did not go home hungry!

Thirty-plus years later, Nintendo is helping those gamers relive their old-school victories with the NES Classic Edition. Released in November 2016, the NES Classic Edition is a pint-size version of the original system. It comes with a single two-button controller and 30 preloaded games, including old favorites like Super Mario Bros., The Legend of Zelda, Donkey Kong, Metroid and Ghosts'n Goblins. The original NES Classic Edition was discontinued in April 2017. Nintendo has said that that console will return to stores on June 29, 2018. How did Nintendo pack so much 8-bit fun into a single box? To find out, I broke out my tools. Note: This story originally ran in the Fall 2017 issue of CNET Magazine. We're publishing the story online to coincide with our Cracking Open video of the NES Classic and the original NES. Cracking open the NES Classic Edition I started with the four rubber pads, or feet, on the console's bottom. Using a thin Phillips screwdriver, I removed the pads and the tiny screw hidden underneath each one. I then lifted off the upper half of the system's plastic case to reveal the tech inside. Though it's less than a quarter the size of the original NES, the Classic Edition's interior is far less cramped. Gone are the front-loading, VCR-esque cartridge tray, the 72-pin cartridge connector that failed so often and the bulky video, audio and power circuitry. All that 1980s tech has been condensed down to a single main circuit board that's about the size of a drink coaster. After disconnecting the cables for the two game controller ports and a thin cable for the power and reset buttons, I removed a few more screws, lifted off the metal shield that covers the main circuit board and took out the board itself. Next, I removed the two controller ports, each held in place with a small bracket and single screw. To finish, I only had to disconnect a black, plastic housing that contains a small circuit board to which the contacts for the power and reset buttons are mounted along with the front LED. My teardown of the console was complete.

This seems okay however my University doesn't offer Aeronautics so I'm majoring in Mechanical Engineering and Physics for the Science part. I really just ask you guys for as much information as you can supply me with. I know most sites say there are a lot of routes in given people like Gordan Murray wasn't originally in the world of racing, though I'm inclined to believe that these days it's a lot more competitive. So, most people going into F1 Eng now, do they solely have undergraduate degrees, do they have both an undergraduate and a postgraduate or do some even have doctorates as well? I was thinking of doing a post grad degree at Cambridge for Aeronautics if possible. I don't mind whether I do Aeronautics or Mechanical - I love both, I really love F1 though so being there is what I want most of all. So I ask you guys for as much information as you can give me. Being in Australia nobody really knows about F1 so connections aren't as easily made. Thank you! . Would it be advised to move to a University which offers Aeronautics?

Ok, so we hit up Waldhorn last night for my dad's 75th birthday and Oktoberfest. We had dinner inside before moving out to the tent. We got some apps to start, potato pancakes & a brats tray. The pancakes w/ apple sauce were fantastic, nice & crispy edges too. Brats were Brats, excellent. I also enjoyed the sauerkraut. For the entree, I ordered the Sauerbraten. It was ok. I didn't care for the spatzle, it was just a little soft for my liking but the red cabbage was tasty & the beef had good flavor but a little over cooked. Next time, I'll go with the brats!

After listening to him talk about Mythbusters and watch his compilation video of the best explosions from the show (set to the ending of the 1812 Overture, of course), I realized that the popular show Mythbusters may help popularize science and help make people curious, it still relies too heavily on large explosions and flashy \"experiments\" that SHOULD NOT BE TRIED AT HOME. Now I bring the question to the old show, Junkyard Wars / Scrapheap Challenge. What happened to it? What happened to shows that were about making things, engineering and human ingenuity? What's with all these flashy explosions? Before someone answers my rhetorical question, I just wanted to say that I know the answer. The show got canceled in the US after the 7th season (Junkyard Megawars 2) because the production costs were too high. I was 16 at the time. There was something special about that show. Something that I believe popular shows like Mythbusters completely neglect. The ability to make things, instead of destructively testing them. The kind of frantic creativity that was characteristic of this country from the Cold War. Not saying we need a political/military stalemate to get our science on, but seriously, just look at the situation in colleges today. America isn't producing nearly enough engineers. Junkyard Wars helped inspire a few of the engineers I find myself working with today. However, the majority of the engineers I find in my classes have not even heard of the show. They are boring, uninspired and do not realize that engineering can be a fun, productive endeavor. They do not appreciate the beauty of making things with your own hands. They like their books and their equations. Sure, I like my academic life too, but inside my heart I still harbor this one little dream.

The intercepted calls are different from the wiretapped conversations last year between Michael Flynn, Trump's former national security adviser, and Sergei I. Kislyak, the Russian ambassador to the United States, the Times said. During those calls, the two men discussed sanctions that the Obama administration imposed on Russia in December. Flynn misled the White House about those calls and was asked to resign on Monday night. The White House did not immediately respond to a request from Reuters for comment on the Times story. The Times reported that the officials said the intercepted communications were not limited to Trump campaign officials, and included other Trump associates.

Buddhism is a method of looking at the world, and it has these little notches that allow it to click in with any prevailing religious or cultural tradition it encounters. This allows it to spread without conversion and remain possible for all people to practice it. Not only that, but it brings logical thought to many who are practicing with hypocrisy and ignorance. **EDIT:** Okay, perhaps I wasn't clear. What I was implying was that Buddhism *itself* is not a religion. It becomes one once it is paired with the religious traditions of the culture. For example, literal reincarnation is believed in the Indian and some Asian sects because of the presiding religions over there (namely, Hinduism). However, a point to consider is that it is quite possible to accept any of the Buddha's teachings in the metaphorical sense.

Just two months before the November 2016 general election, the Minnesota Supreme Court ruled that incumbent Rep. Bob Barrett didn't live in the district and was ineligible to run. Because the decision came so close to the election, there wasn't enough time under state law to replace Barrett on the ballot. Instead, the Supreme Court ruled that the November election wouldn't count for District 32B. The seat would remain vacant until February.

In both 2014 and 2016, other Republican candidates up and down the ballot won by similar margins.

This can make special elections less predictable than normal races. But Tuesday's race wasn't a normal special election.

The state's attorneys are fighting to persuade judges to allow the executions — and to make the decision quickly. The state had scheduled eight men to die over the course of 11 days, because one of the drugs it planned to use in the executions expires at the end of April. Gov. Asa Hutchinson said it wasn't clear whether the state could acquire addition supplies of the sedative midazolam. Two of the executions had been stayed individually before all eight of them were blocked by a state judge and a federal judge. The state judge's decision, reached Friday, was based on how Arkansas acquired another drug — vecuronium bromide, which is used in anesthesia as well as executions. A pharmaceutical supplier alleges that the state bought the drug deceptively, actively misleading the seller about what it would be used for. That decision \"stirred a wave of consternation and threats on social media from state lawmakers and conservatives,\" member station KUAR noted on Saturday — because shortly before the decision, the judge was photographed protesting the death penalty at the gates of the Governor's Mansion. The federal judge's decision on Saturday, meanwhile, was in response to a lawsuit on behalf of the inmates that argued an execution with midazolam would violate their rights. Midazolam has been used in a number of high-profile botched executions, including instances where inmates did not appear to be fully sedated when they received the painful second and third drugs in the cocktail. The suit argued there was an unacceptably high risk they would suffer during the executions. The judge determined that their concerns were sufficient to halt the executions for the time being, to allow the issue to be considered by the courts. Hutchinson and state Attorney General Leslie Rutledge have been pushing to carry out the executions anyway. But they are on a tight schedule: Executions were scheduled to begin Monday night, and if the legal proceedings take more than two weeks, the midazolam supply will have expired before any of the executions can take place. The state has appealed both rulings and asked the higher courts to work quickly to review the decisions. The inmates on death row, meanwhile, have asked the courts to take the time and avoid a \"rushed analysis.\" As the legal battle plays out, the state's execution facility is prepared for a rapid reversal of the decisions.

Then you wonder how you ever got your work done without it! That's how you might feel about Windows Tags. Yes, it's a Windows feature, but you can use Tags to manage Office files—and other file types as well. Whether you work alone or share files via a server or even OneDrive for Business, you can benefit from Tags. In this article, I'll show you how to add Tags to Office and non-Office files and how to search using those Tags. I'm working with Office 2016 (desktop) on a Windows 10 64-bit system. The Windows Tags property is available in older versions, back to Windows Vista. In Office, they've been available since at least Office 2007 (but maybe longer). There's no downloadable demonstration file. You won't need one. What are Tags? Don't confuse Office Smart Tags and Windows Tags; they aren't the same thing. Windows Tags are keywords used for organizing (searching) files. How you use them will depend on your needs, but anytime you're working with bulk files or sharing files for the same purpose, Tags can help. Don't limit their use to simply describing the file's contents, either. You can use Tags to describe how you use the file. For instance, you might use terms such as complete and not complete to describe status. Or you might use the term upload to group files you need to upload to an external service such as OneDrive. Add a tag to an Office file Tags are a Windows file property, but you can add them when saving an Office file. During the save process, you'll see an Options link. It's quite possible that you've never explored this link before. Let's take a look: With any Office file open, click the File tab and choose Save As in the left pane. Below the Filename and Location controls, click the More Options link (Figure A). In the bottom-right corner of the resulting dialog, look for the Tags control (Figure B). Click the Add A Tag Link and supply a keyword (Figure C). To add more than one, separate the keywords with a semicolon. Once you add a Tags keyword, Office will display it in an AutoComplete list when you tag subsequent files, making it easier to use Tags consistently. Click Save and continue as you normally would.

As counterprotesters began moving toward the park where the Patriot Prayer rally was being held, riot police sought to corral the crowd with pepper spray and devices known as \"blast balls.\" In response, The Seattle Times notes, the officers were \"pelted only with harsh language and silly string.\" Eventually, both sets of protesters converged on the same park — but were separated by police. \"Anti-fascist protesters continue to shout down the pro-Trump speakers,\" the paper reported, \"and more than once, someone from the crowd has jumped onto the stage to", "label": 0, "domain": "news", "token_count": 500, "matched_pair_id": null, "split": "test"} +{"id": "bureaucratic_test_0_00264", "text": "In sum, if you have been living under a rock or are new to the 'burgh then you may not know that this place has the most amazing Burnt Almond Torte.

I first noticed this as this scab-thing became dislodged when I laughed extremely hard, and I had to run to the bathroom to figure out why my throat felt so weird. It's gotten to the point where I'm obsessing about this. I can feel this thing building in the back of my throat all day. More recently, my nostril has randomly become sore & will emit bloody mucus on occasion. I mentioned the post-nasal drip to my doctor about a year ago, but didn't mention the scab-thing as I thought it was normal. The doctor brushed off the post-nasal drip & said to just take 2 Sudafed every day. It's definitely not normal anymore. There's more blood involved & it's becoming more frequent & I feel like what this may be is spreading. It's somewhat hard to breathe out of my nose. I'm wondering if I have a deviated septum or something else... Has anyone experienced anything like this? Or even heard about it? I know it's gross. Sometimes I wake up nauseous from the amount of mucus that's collected in my stomach overnight. Tons of fun.

Additional resources How can I get FileVault 2? FileVault 2 is in all versions of OS X from 10.7 through macOS 10.13—it just needs to be enabled, as the service is turned off by default to allow end users to perform the initial setup process, which allows them to create a master recovery key. This key will act as a backup in the event that they become locked out of their account and must recover data via an alternate path. Users of OS X prior to 10.7 may use Legacy FileVault, or FileVault 1 (the initial offering of the encryption application), which only encrypts a user's home folder and not the entire disk. This must be enabled per user on that device and will still leave any data not stored within an encrypted home folder available to unauthorized access. The good news is that as long as your Apple computer supports a recent version of OS X or the modern releases of macOS, you can upgrade your Mac's operating system at anytime to a newer version to enjoy the benefits of FileVault 2's enhanced security.

They of course want to reduce energy consumption 'cause that's good to the bottom line. It's also good from a sustainability perspective.

It turns out, our diets also help determine what we smell like. A recent study found that women preferred the body odor of men who ate a lot of fruits and vegetables. Whereas men who ate a lot of carbohydrates gave off a smell that was less appealing. Skeptical? At first, I was, too. I thought this line of inquiry must have been dreamed up by the produce industry. (Makes a good marketing campaign, right?!) But it's legit. \"We've known for a while that odor is an important component of attractiveness, especially for women,\" says Ian Stephen of Macquarie University in Australia. He studies evolution, genetics and psychology and is an author of the study. From an evolutionary perspective, scientists say our sweat can help signal our health status, and could possibly play a role in helping attract a mate. So, how did scientists evaluate the link between diet and the attractiveness of body odor? They began by recruiting a bunch of healthy, young men. They assessed the men's skin using an instrument called a spectrophotometer. When people eat a lot of colorful veggies, their skin takes on the hue of carotenoids, the plant pigments that are responsible for bright red, yellow and orange foods. \"The carotenoids get deposited in our skin,\" explains Stephen. The spectrophotometer \"flashes a light onto your skin and measures the color reflected back,\" says Stephen. The results are \"a good indicator of how much fruits and vegetables we're eating,\" he says. Stephen and his colleagues also had the men in the study compete food frequency questionnaires, so they could determine the men's overall patterns of eating. Then, men were given clean T-shirts and asked to do some exercise. Afterwards, women in the study were asked to sniff the sweat. (Note: The methodology was much more scientific and precise than my breezy explanation, but you get the picture!) \"We asked the women to rate how much they liked it, how floral, how fruity,\" and a bunch of other descriptors, explains Stephen. It's a small study, but the results were pretty consistent. \"Women basically found that men who ate more vegetables smelled nicer,\" Stephen told us. Men who ate a lot of meat did not produce a sweat that was any more — or less — attractive to women. But meat did tend to make men's odor more intense. \"This is not the first study", "label": 0, "domain": "news", "token_count": 500, "matched_pair_id": null, "split": "test"} +{"id": "bureaucratic_test_0_00290", "text": "in my last sexual relationship, sex would generally last between 10 and 20 minutes. when it ended in that time frame, it meant that we finished together which was always the best way to finish. in that time frame my penis was constantly growing in sensitivity and the finish was fantastic and intense. on those occasions where she took a bit longer, i had to constantly back off from orgasms so she could finish. eventually, i would cross this line somewhere after 25 or 30 minutes of sex and my penis would lose much of its sensitivity. it still felt good, but a little more numb. Usually after this point i would ask her to finish me with her mouth - this was great because I love blow jobs and she loved the taste of herself on me. anyway, it became really obvious that i was significantly de-sensitized at this point because normally when she took me in her mouth as foreplay, it was incredibly intense. after a lot of sex, she needed to suck like a hoover and squeeze rather hard with her hands to get me off. The orgasm in this situation was always interesting because it would be this sudden burst of intensity during a period where she was being rather rough with me. so it was incredible and then i had to really plead with her to calm down and be really gentle as she brought me down. so i guess my question is, does this happen to other guys and, if so, about how long before you lose a lot of sensitivity? also, is there anything you can do to extend the amount of time your sensitivity grows before it crosses that thresh-hold and you lose some sensitivity?", "label": 0, "domain": "social", "token_count": 330, "matched_pair_id": null, "split": "test"} +{"id": "bureaucratic_test_0_00291", "text": "Where do I start.

It all started in the gig economy, the report explained. Firms like Uber, for example, use machine learning and related technologies to manage some of the tasking assignments for the self-employed people who work through their platforms. However, now legacy organizations like GE and Shell are also jumping on the AI bandwagon, rolling out tools to their full-time workforce as well, The Wall Street Journal reported. The tech tools are handling tasks such as \"scheduling and shepherding strategic projects,\" the Journal reported, and researchers cited said that this could lead to the elimination of certain management roles of the displacing of other managers. SEE: IT leader's guide to the future of artificial intelligence (Tech Pro Research) These types of machine learning and AI software are also being leveraged in hiring and human resources as well, with Gartner predicting 25% growth in the overall human resources and workforce management software market by 2020. So, what makes AI so well-suited to take over certain management roles? It's all in the data. AI is good at making decisions based almost solely on available data. Humans can use data, but can also lean on their own intuition or fall into confirmation bias, the report said. AI could potentially help make more objective business decisions, but these tools and platforms could also have their own biases introduced by the humans that create them. Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic, a professor of business psychology at University College London, told The Wall Street Journal that managers primarily work to \"identify potential, build teams, assign tasks, measure performance and provide feedback\"—things that he said humans are not proficient at. However, AI can use data to do perform these tasks, which could lead to a day when we no longer need human managers, Chamorro-Premuzic said. Despite the use of AI in management, some companies utilize the technology only to eliminate administrative tasks, the report said. One also has to question the value of automating that may have been relegated to middle management—a demographic that's true value has been brought into question over the past few years and that has been shrinking in many organizations as they move toward more flat organizational structures.

Immediately after the first semester concluded, I was offered an internship via one of my professors. It's a NPO that has been around for almost two decades and their website, obviously, has a lot of content built up already; most of the recent content is dynamically driven, but the older articles are static and using templates. The job is to convert all the content to WordPress and create an entirely custom theme to display various types of articles and news from each of their chapters. Of course, afterwards, I’m to provide training and technical support for a period of time. It was estimated (by my professor) the whole ordeal would take about eight months and they offered me next to nothing. I would make over twice as much continuing to work at my minimum-wage job. I countered for twice as much, assuming they wouldn’t be able to afford it and was okay with that. I didn’t feel like it would be a pleasant experience considering their offer. But they came back and said they could afford about that much, so I accepted and took time off my previous job to do it. I’m sorely regretting it now. Considering I have no experience with the business aspect and freelance is hard and terrifying for even seasoned web developers, I expected I’d be getting some direction and heavy guidance from my professor. Not so. He offers very little until I do something the wrong way. If I contact him with questions, I usually get patronizing and semi-rude responses. It’s also worth noting he was the previous (and volunteer) developer for the organization and seems to be pretty close to the client. I’m feeling extremely discouraged and turned off to the whole project. My friends/family know how I’m feeling about the whole thing but I’m getting very little support. They seem to think I should just suck it up and do it for the experience, no matter how dismal it seems to be. Are they right?

The meal we ate at the Capital Grille this week doubtlessly falls into this category.\\n\\nI know that Capital Grille is a chain, and an expensive chain as well. I'm not usually super excited about corporate steakhouses (Ruth's Chris: meh), and I usually wouldn't have chosen one for a Restaurant Week outing. However, Capital Grille treated us so well during the Yelp Generous Pour event, we decided to return. I'm glad we did: the food and the service were both amazing.\\n\\nI'll talk about the food first. Their Restaurant Week menu is not very varied: they offer three steak entrees and one salmon dish. However, I don't see that as a downside, since if you're looking for something lighter and/or vegetarian, you're not going to go to a steakhouse, anyways. For my entree, I ordered the Kona-encrusted sirloin with shallot butter.. oh my. This was a good steak, folks: tremendous flavor and perfectly cooked. I've learned that this steak is on their regular menu as well. This could be bad for my credit card. The appetizer of clam chowder was good, if not exceptional. My dessert of creme brulee was delicious. Nevertheless, it was all overshadowed by that steak.\\n\\nOk, now let's talk about the service. Yes, my steak was amazing, but you can get an amazing steak at other venues. What really set this night apart was the level of service we received. Even though it was Restaurant week, and even though we had nibbled and sipped for free the weekend before, we were treated as well as they could have treated any bank executive or local politician. Our waiter, James, was unobtrusively attentive and poured us multiple glasses of wine on the house. The manager checked in on us and shook our hands on the way out. I've never been treated better in a restaurant, especially when eating a meal at such a considerable discount.\\n\\nIn case you can't tell from the above, we really had a fantastic evening.
