Bank regulations, creditworthiness, and geographical challenges of an archipelago have strongly contributed to limited access to banking solutions in Indonesia. A staggering 66% of the population, or around 180 million Indonesians, are unbanked. Yet, there are many ways to engage the unbanked, like creating an alternative credit scoring system or digitizing private sector wage payments, but what took the center stage is e-money (electronic money). e-money is great because it's a very convenient way to top up, particularly for people living in the rural areas, it doesn't require a bank account to setup, and there's no monthly fee attached that's typically seen in banks. With a high mobile penetration rate among the unbanked (7 out of 10 people who don't own a bank account owns a mobile phone) and low usage of financial services among smartphone users in the country (less than 40%), Indonesia is a very attractive market for fintech (financial technology) companies to come in and provide alternative digital banking solutions and other services. Needless to say, entrepreneurs, banks, and conglomerates caught on pretty quickly and competition in the industry has become very intense, very quickly. Currently, there are over 100 apps more or less with an e-money/e-wallet concept in the market.
While they're fighting for market dominance, end consumers are reaping the benefits. Just by being informed and tech-savvy, you can exploit and leverage it to help you make the most out of your money! There are also other extremely practical apps that can potentially help you to save big on dining, entertainment, and fitness options in Jakarta that will be discussed further below.
Now more than ever, technology has become accessible to almost everyone in the world. It is embedded in every aspect of our lives, thanks to the growing tech industry and their quest for innovation.

It should come as no surprise that drawdowns and the hollowing out of America’s military are endemic parts of the American military experience. Alexis de Tocqueville did warn us. “We have seen … that among a democratic people the choicer minds of the nation are gradually drawn away from the military profession, to seek by other paths distinction, power, and especially wealth,” he wrote in Democracy in America. “After a long peace—and in democratic ages the periods of peace are long—the Army is always inferior to the country itself. In this state it is called into active service; and until war has altered it, there is danger for the country as well as for the Army.” Unless there is a compelling force pulling democracies in the opposite direction, their tendency is to drift toward unpreparedness.
Maj. Jason W. Warren, an assistant professor at the U.S. Army War College, shows that history has proven de Tocqueville right with an edited collection of historical studies that examine aspects of how military drawdowns have impacted America’s capacity to defend itself. Drawdown: The American Way of Postwar includes chapters that range from the mustering of militias for King Philip’s War (1675–76) through the post-Cold War drawdown from the fall of the Berlin Wall to post-9/11.
One of the values of collecting these essays into a volume is how clearly they illuminate threads of continuity in American military practices. A particularly dominant trend has been the strength of civil-military relations in good times and bad.
De Tocqueville warned that “democratic armies are often restless, ill-tempered, and dissatisfied with their lot.” He remained perpetually concerned that too strong a military would usurp power from its political masters. This concern was a reflection of common wisdom in Anglo-American thinking that drew heavily from the British historical experience. The notion of “no standing armies,” drawing down forces when they were not needed for war so they could not be exploited by the sovereign for domestic suppression, was accepted by the Founding Fathers as a matter of doctrine.
On this point, de Tocqueville was off-target. American soldiers may get grumpy and dissatisfied, but they rarely get rebellious. Civil-military relations in the U.S. never reached the crisis point that they did in Britain when Oliver Cromwell made war on the king and then turned on Parliament in the mid-1600s.
American drawdowns, as several chapters in Drawdown make clear, never seriously strained civil-military relations. U.S. Military Academy professor Samuel Watson notes in a study of reductions of the Army officer corps between 1783 and 1848 that politics was largely kept out of the process of deciding who would stay and who would go. “Surprisingly, given the fierce partisan divisions of the time,” Watson writes, “neither partisan nor sectional considerations dominated the reductions.” While politics controlled the military policy, in the U.S. tradition, American politics don’t transcend military practices.
Rather than becoming the point of tension in a drawdown, the military, and the officer corps in particular, helps see the country through the drawdown and lays the foundation for the next buildup. As former Army colonel and distinguished historian Peter Mansoor writes in the foreword to this book, “the most important requirement during drawdown periods … is the maintenance of the human intellectual capital of the military.” Rebuilding a military without a military is hard.
Drawdown presents no easy answers to preventing drawdowns. As de Tocqueville got right so long ago, in democracies, military policies are driven by politics. The good news is that military force remains responsive to political will. The downside is that drawdowns driven by politics can leave a military insufficient to protect the vital interests of the nation it serves.
Nor does this collection of historical case studies offer simple solutions for how to endure or recover from hollowing out the force. Rather, together these examples remind us that historical context matters, not just in understanding the past but for living in the present as well.
That said, what Drawdown ought to do is help stimulate the critical thinking of those interested in considering the current military malaise and how to deal with it.
With MacArthur’s Korean War Generals, historian Stephen R. Taaffe has written an excellent study of operational leadership in modern war. Although Gen. Douglas MacArthur serves as the organizing principle behind this study, he is not its main focus. His generals are, and their combat leadership under his command in the first, crucial year of the Korean War.
Taaffe’s primary arguments center on these men, how they were selected—before and during the war—and especially their performance in combat as generals from the regimental up to the Army command level.
Although all the division and regimental chiefs had served in World War II … very few of them … had much experience leading these units in action. … Some of these officers successfully made the transition and provided good service in Korea, but others did not. The pity was that the Army had plenty of officers who had successfully run regiments and divisions and were therefore familiar and comfortable with the responsibilities such jobs entailed, but they were not on hand in Japan at the war’s start.
Taaffe does make clear that the leadership improved, but perhaps not as quickly as it might have due to the Army’s dynamic for selecting and promoting generals. The reader also gets good snapshots of the more senior leaders such as Gens. Walton Walker and Matthew Ridgway and Lt. Gen. Ned Almond. Accounts of Marine general officer leadership—especially that of then-Maj. Gen. Oliver Smith—are somewhat in contrast to those of the Army’s generals, but the data set is so much smaller that making any systemic conclusions is difficult—and to his credit, Taaffe does not.
In the interim, the reader gets a good operational history, and history of tactical and operational-level leadership for the key first year of the war, the year that really decided the conflict, as campaigns swept up and down the contested Korean Peninsula. The book is worth the effort just for these leadership narratives and is unsparing in its judgments as well as its praise, when deserved, for these officers, most of whom are not familiar to American military history audiences unless they are Korean War buffs.
The scope of the book, which ends with the stabilization of the front north of the 38th Parallel for the last two years of the war, is just right. After all, the book is about MacArthur’s generals, not Ridgway’s nor those of his successor, Gen. James Van Fleet.
There is room for minor criticism. First, although Taaffe supports his claims about the leadership, he never goes into much detail about what other general officers were out there who could have been plugged in quickly into the Korean leadership in the midst of combat. This second part is also problematic and mitigates what happened. As former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld once said, “You go to war with the Army you have,” and the same is true of generals: You go to war with the generals you have. The skill sets in peacetime are often different than those most valuable in war.
A second criticism involves the joint nature of the conflict. Simply put, it might have been nice to get a better feel for the role of the Navy’s flag officers and, especially, the Air Force’s and their relationships with their Army counterparts. Air power played an immense role in helping U.N. forces in Korea offset their numerical weaknesses on the battlefield, initially, and then again when the Chinese entered the fray. A similar critique also applies to the South Korean generals in the fight. There is far too little on their backgrounds and role in the narrative.
Finally, some of the portraits of these leaders are so compelling that the reader may want to see some photographs. But there are none. Even a dozen or so photographs would have added value to the book. On the other hand, the book is well-supplied with good maps, which are essential for a narrative that resides mostly at the operational level.
MacArthur’s Korean War Generals is an excellent operational study of the first year of the Korean War and the American generals who fought it. One hopes Taaffe might apply his considerable skills in doing a study of MacArthur’s World War II generals in a similar manner, another set of men who deserve a study such as this.
This book is highly recommended for any military professional’s reading list.
Cmdr. John T. Kuehn, USN Ret., is professor of military history at the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College. His newest book, to be published by Naval Institute Press, is America’s First General Staff: A Short History of the Rise and Fall of the General Board of the Navy, 1900–1950.
In the foreword of his monumental four-volume biography of Gen. Robert E. Lee, Southern historian Douglas S. Freeman pondered this question: “In holding the light exclusively on Lee, had one put in undeserved shadow the many excellent soldiers of his Army?” To answer that question, Freeman wrote Lee’s Lieutenants, a sweeping narrative of the high command of the Army of Northern Virginia. No comparable study of the Army of the Potomac, Lee’s major adversary through four years of bloody conflict during the Civil War, existed. Until now.
Acclaimed historian Stephen W. Sears corrects this imbalance by providing the most comprehensive analysis of the high command of the Army of the Potomac. With Lincoln’s Lieutenants and 15 other books to his credit, including campaign histories of Antietam, the Peninsula Campaign, Chancellorsville and Gettysburg, Sears cements his reputation as the pre-eminent historian of the Eastern Theater.
The task confronting President Abraham Lincoln at the beginning of the Civil War was more difficult than he and then-Secretary of War Simon Cameron imagined. Said Cameron: “I found the nation without an Army; and I found scarcely a man throughout the War Department in whom I could put my trust.” Yet an Army eventually emerged when General-in-Chief Winfield Scott prepared volunteers for battle under then-Brig. Gen. Irvin McDowell in defense of the capital. McDowell’s Army of Northeastern Virginia met defeat at First Bull Run in July 1861, which paved the way for a name change and a new commander, Maj. Gen. George B. McClellan.
The late historian Bruce Catton, to whom this book is dedicated, labeled McClellan’s tour of command as the Era of Suspicion. Given a relatively free hand by Lincoln, McClellan selected his senior commanders for his newly christened Army of the Potomac. With few exceptions, these corps-level commanders mirrored their chief and seemed reluctant to fight the aggressive Lee. Under McClellan, the Army of the Potomac commanders, from headquarters down to brigade level, “indulged themselves in the politics of war,” Sears writes. Intrigue, petty bickering, and what critics called “bad blood and paralysis” characterized the high command during the Era of Suspicion.
The Era of McClellan lasted until November 1862 when Lincoln replaced him with Maj. Gen. Ambrose Burnside. Though “the Army of the Potomac would see no more of McClellan … the mark he left on that Army proved indelible.” Following defeats at Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville, Va., the high command of the Army of the Potomac reached “comparatively sunny uplands” when Maj. Gen. George Meade took command of the Army and then-Maj. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant assumed command of the war effort.
Lincoln’s Lieutenants is the best account yet written on the commanders of the Army of the Potomac. In short, Sears has produced a tour de force that is destined to be a classic of Civil War historiography.
Using an ends-ways-means analysis, Johnson frames the war from Libya eastward to Afghanistan and north into Turkey and the Caucasus as one that truly represented the imperial nature of World War I. The battles of the Masurian Lakes in present-day Poland or the Somme in France are better known, but to deny the strategic implications of the Middle East, Johnson argues, is to miss a broader context of the conflict.
Johnson’s writing focuses on British diplomatic and military calculations, as well as the need for empires to play to their colonial possessions and homefront audiences when it came to the Middle East. These often-conflicting interests came to a head, be it at Kut in modern-day Iraq or Gallipoli or in Palestine. Furthermore, the ever-lengthening war “produced differences or disputes between the civilian governments and the Generals in the field,” which impacted strategic objectives and operational planning. His inclusion of Ottoman, Austro-Hungarian and Russian strategic objectives is not as thoroughly explained but does help elucidate the choices these participants made.
Victory in the Middle East presented an opportunity for the Allies and the Central Powers to upset the balance of power and break the deadlock in the fields of France and Belgium. The British campaign in the Dardanelles and at Gallipoli, now maligned and “synonymous with defeat, futility, and incompetence,” when viewed in a strategic context of Russian weakness and German overreach, appear less hopeless and as posing more benefits than have been commonly echoed since then.
Johnson’s analysis astutely places Gallipoli as an opportunity for the Allies to defeat the Ottomans, expose the vulnerable Austro-Hungarians and provide a “chance to fulfill the common purpose against Germany by ‘knocking the props from under her.’ ” The Dardanelles, like much of the war in the Middle East, make more sense when viewed through a strategic lens rather than an operational one.
The result was a British Army that was “under-resourced, overextended and in too few numbers” but that nevertheless continued to pressure the Ottoman Empire, take up the slack left by the collapsing Russian forces and prevent German allies from bolstering armies in Europe in a meaningful way. Its activity played to military and imperial audiences, reinforcing the strategic importance of the Middle East. This British Army was in place at the end of the war to support post-conflict negotiations and delineations.
The imperial impact of World War I was perhaps no more clearly felt than in the Middle East where the British Empire lived on while the Russian and Ottoman Empires collapsed. The successor states to the Ottoman, Russian and British empires remain front-page news and the settings for the past 15-plus years of American military operations. The Great War in the Middle East does excellent work in framing the larger context for what is traditionally regarded as a tragic sideshow.

The historian’s art—the historian’s duty—is to find untold stories and tell them well. There also must be professional and educational worth to the story, what it means for us today and how will it inform the performance of our duty.
Will Gorenfeld and John Gorenfeld mastered the art and fulfilled this duty. Kearny’s Dragoons Out West, named for Brevet Maj. Gen. Stephen Watts Kearny, is a superb story of the birth of American cavalry, the opening of the Western plains and of long, hard rides into unknown lands. There is mystery and majesty in the tales as well as the plain, hard life led by cavalrymen, known as Dragoons from the 1830s to the 1850s.
Will Gorenfeld is a writer who specializes in the pre-Civil War Regular Army in the American West. He and his son John, also a writer, have crafted a deeply researched book. Extensive notes cover a number of original source materials from which the Gorenfelds drew their history, including morning reports and scouting reports. The bibliography consists of 15 pages with information about where to find sources, from archives to university libraries. The similarly lengthy index assists any scholar who chooses to use this book as a starting point for more history of the American West. This thorough work alone recommends the book.
The Gorenfelds bring to life the months-long scouting missions undertaken by the First Regiment of Dragoons. This force had to explore new land—new to Americans, anyway. Each scouting party had to deal with different Native American tribes and express the will of Washington, D.C., without any contact with the government. There were shows of force and demonstrations of power, accompanied by talks through interpreters and exchanges of gifts.
Limited to what their horses could carry and dependent on pack trains facing equal difficulties resupplying the troops and squadrons of the regiment, the officers knew they could not engage in extensive combat. Officers looking for examples of “Phase 0” and “Phase 1” operations can find plenty of material in this book.
Of course, there is much more to the book. The stories range from experiments with the Grimsley and the Ringgold saddles to the alcohol consumption in the First Dragoons (no General Order No. 1 in that era). The Gorenfelds bring life to the soldiers of the First Dragoons, whose extensive reminiscences were clearly a treasure trove.
The First Regiment of Dragoons played a significant role in establishing the American West. The regiment protected settlers who were moving through truly uncharted lands. The Dragoons protected Native Americans from unscrupulous traders. Before the war with Mexico, the Dragoons protected Mexican traders from Texans who would raid into the U.S. The same regiment then participated in the war and fought those same Mexicans.
Complexity is in the eye of the beholder, and the privates through the colonels of the First Regiment of Dragoons faced situations no less complex in their age than our soldiers and troopers do today. This is a story well-told and worth reading.

Ukraine: Lethal Aid Will Counter Russia Claims Congress, Will Obama Take On Vladimir Putin?
The Ukraine Freedom Support Act signed into law near the end of 2014 called on President Barack Obama to offer Ukraine lethal aid in support of its fight with Vladimir Putin and Russia. Senator Rob Portman recently spoke on the senate floor about the importance of providing the U.S. military for Ukraine and asked what Obama intended to do.
In a related report by the Inquisitr, less than a month ago, Ron Paul declared that a “reckless” Congress essentially declared war on Vladimir Putin and Russia based upon U.S. House Resolution 758, which authorized President Obama to give Ukraine lethal aid. The U.S. Senate passed similar legislation not too long afterward.
After signing the bill into law on December 18, 2014, President Obama was given two months to enact the actions required by the Ukraine Freedom Support Act, which would give $350 million in military aid to Ukraine. The law specifically outlined a list of military aid to be provided, including “anti-tank and anti-armor weapons, crew weapons and ammunition, counter-artillery radars to identify and target artillery batteries, fire control, range finder, and optical and guidance and control equipment, tactical troop-operated surveillance drones, and secure command and communications equipment.” It also authorizes President Obama to use additional economic sanctions against Russia in addition to countering Russian propaganda.
U.S. Senator Rob Portman of Ohio was an early cosponsor of the Ukraine Freedom Support Act and now he’s openly asking President Obama what his intentions are in regards to giving Ukraine military aid.
As of this publishing, the White House has not released any documents specifying plans for giving Ukraine lethal aid. Since 17 days have passed, President Obama has 43 days to produce these documents, meaning that the Obama administration has until February 16, 2015 to comply with the law.
Meanwhile, the Obama administration is hoping to hit the “reset button” with Vladimir Putin according to Global Research.
Do you think President Obama should give Ukraine lethal aid in defense of Russia’s support of Ukrainian separatists?

Separating the impacts of climate change and human activity on actual evapotranspiration (ET) is important for reducing comprehensive risk and improving the adaptability of water resource systems. In this study, the spatiotemporal distribution of actual ET in the Aksu River Basin, Northwest China, during the period 2000–2015 was evaluated using the Vegetation Interfaces Processes model and Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer-Normalized Difference Vegetation Index. The impact of climate change and human activity on actual ET were separated and quantified. The results demonstrated that: (1) the annual pattern of actual ET per pixel exhibited the highest values for arable land (average 362.4 mm/a/pixel), followed by forest land and grassland (average of 159.6 and 142.8 mm/a/pixel, respectively). Significant increasing linear trends (p < 0.05) of 3.2 and 1.8 mm/a were detected in the arable land and forest land time series, respectively; (2) precipitation was the most significant of the selected climate factors (precipitation, average temperature, sunshine duration, and wind speed) for all ecosystems. The second most significant was wind speed; (3) human activity caused 89%, 98%, and 80% of the changes in actual ET of forest, grass, and arable land, respectively, while climate change caused 11%, 2%, and 20% of the changes in actual ET, in the Aksu River Basin during 2000–2015.

Play On: Boston Celtics -3.5.
The Celtics are showing some great value here as a mere 3.5-point home favorite against the Lakers. Boston may be just 2-8 over their last 10 games, but that’s largely due to a brutal schedule. Their 8 losses during this stretch have come against the likes of the Thunder, Cavaliers, Suns, Grizzlies, Trail Blazers, Bulls, Spurs and Hawks. They took care of the likes of the 76ers (101-90) and Pistons (109-102) and I expect them do the same against a bad Lakers team.
This is also a horrible spot for LA, who will be playing their 3rd straight road game in the span of just 4 days. While the Celtics will also being playing in a 3-in-4 scenario, this will be their second straight game at home. I look for Boston to dictate the tempo and take advantage of a Lakers team that relies too much on Kobe Bryant chucking up shots.

If a prosecutor fails to prove any element of the crime, the case fails in its entirety.
A felony conviction for being an accessory after the fact is punishable by a sentence of up to three years in prison and a fine not to exceed $5,000. A misdemeanor conviction is punishable by up to a 364 days in jail and a fine not to exceed $5,000.
This might apply if you had a reasonable belief that the person you assisted would harm or kill you if you didn’t render him or her assistance. Intent is a critical element of proof for this crime.
A charge of being an accessory after the fact can only be brought if a felony was charged. If the person who you allegedly helped committed a misdemeanor, the law doesn’t permit you to be charged with being an accessory after the fact. If his or her felony charge was plea bargained down to a misdemeanor from a felony, it’s likely that your felony charge can be reduced to a misdemeanor too.
If you didn’t know that the person who you helped had committed a felony, you can’t be found guilty of being an accessory after the fact. Knowledge is a pivotal element of the crime.
If you’ve been charged with being an accessory after the fact in or around Los Angeles, you need a knowledgeable and experienced criminal defense attorney to represent you. Don’t hesitate to contact us for a free consultation and case evaluation, and we’ll discuss all of your possible defenses. Prosecutors and judges respect us.

Lucky for you, we’ve made a list that highlights the best used cars for teens and where to find them!
If you’re interested in purchasing a new car at a used car price, then participating in repo car auctions is your best move.
When folks purchase a car with financing and they default on that loan, the creditor is granted the legal right to repossess the purchased car without notice. Rules on repossession vary from state to state, but the usual causes for repossession is the buyer’s failure to maintain car insurance or the buyer missing loan payments.

World War II pilot Henry Heim vividly remembers the 1941 Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Today, some 3,000 people are expected to gather at Pearl Harbor to commemorate the anniversary of the attack that launched the U.S. into World War II.
World War II pilot Henry Heim, now 92, says he can still hear the sounds of the attack on Pearl Harbor vividly.
Looking back on the fateful morning of December 7, 1941, when Japanese bombers pounded the U.S. Pacific fleet, Americans like Heim are marking the anniversary on Saturday with solemn public ceremonies and private moments of reflection.
The surprise Japanese air and naval assault on the Hawaiian island of Oahu claimed 2,390 American lives and drew the United States into World War II.
The 90-minute raid left 1,178 people wounded, sank or heavily damaged a dozen U.S. warships and destroyed 323 aircraft, badly crippling the Pacific fleet.
Heim, then 22, was writing a letter to his brother from his barracks at Pearl Harbor when the attack began.
"As I was writing 'Dear Bob,' I heard lots of airplanes," he said. Another soldier near him awoke, complaining about U.S. Navy pilots flying maneuvers so early in the morning.
His complaint was cut short by a tremendous explosion, Heim recalled from his home in Pennsylvania earlier this week.
"I saw another airplane coming down, and something dropped down from underneath it. Then there was another explosion," he said, adding, "I saw a big red ball."
Heim tried three times to run to his duty post but each time was strafed by enemy machine gunfire and forced to turn back.
When he finally reached his post in one of the base hangars, a bomb blew through the ceiling and slammed him against a wall.
"When I come to, I was on all fours, crawling along the wall," he said. "Blood was coming out of somewhere. It scared me to death. I thought I was dying."
Heim managed to grab a machine gun and ran outside, where he began shooting at Japanese aircraft overhead.
"I could feel the bullets hitting the plane and smelled smoke," he said.
He recalls the ordeal lasting more than an hour, a time that is etched in his memory.
"The attack, to me, is like yesterday," Heim said.
Heim went on to train as a pilot and flew 78 combat missions during the war, some of them over the Balkans, France and Germany. He piloted missions in Korea and later flew for the Strategic Air Command.
When he left the military, the Lykens, Pennsylvania native returned home and found a job as a lineman for Bell Telephone. He retired in 1983.
He and his wife, Kay, who have a son and daughter, have been married for 70 years.
The Associated Press reports that about 3,000 people are expected to gather at Pearl Harbor on Saturday to commemorate the anniversary of the 1941 Japanese attack that launched the U.S. into World War II.
The Navy and National Park Service are co-hosting the ceremony, which is open to the public. Their theme for the event, "Sound the Alarm," will explore how Americans answered a call to duty in the wake of the attack.
Former U.S. Sen. Max Cleland of Georgia is scheduled to deliver the keynote address.
The Vietnam War veteran is now secretary of the American Battle Monuments Commission, which is responsible for managing overseas cemeteries for fallen American troops.
The current U.S. Pacific Fleet commander, Adm. Harry B. Harris, Jr. will also speak.
Later in the day, Pearl Harbor survivors will join military and government officials in a parade through Waikiki.

The Center for Data Innovation spoke with Jason Cohen, chief executive officer of Analytical Flavor Systems. Cohen discussed how demographics can influence people’s perception of taste as well as how to evaluate the trustworthiness of food reviewers.
Joshua New: I’ve had the opportunity to interview sensory scientists that use data science to better understand people’s’ taste preferences. Is that what Gastrograph does, or is there more to it?
Jason Cohen: Gastrograph AI is an artificial intelligence platform for modeling and predicting human sensory perception and consumer preference—so our goals overlap with traditional sensory science, but differ in some key ways. Our thesis is that most products are only generally acceptable, but not optimized for a specific target consumer cohort, which means that most food and beverage companies are developing products that lots of people like, but no one loves. We help those companies develop better products by targeting specific segments of the population with a better flavor profile that meets their flavor, aroma, and texture preferences.
The other thing that differentiates our models from what other sensory scientists are doing is its predictive power—we can use tiny amounts of data, often times less than 10 reviews of a product, to predict how the entire world will taste, and the distribution of preferences for each population. We can do this because our models are all hierarchical in nature—they build on our past data and past predictions to become increasingly accurate with less data over time.
New: Before Analytical Flavor Systems, you launched and ran the Tea Institute at Penn State. Can you describe the work you did there? How did this lead you to your current role?
Cohen: The Tea Institute at Penn State is an interdisciplinary research institute dedicated to the study and preservation of tea, tea ceremony, and tea culture. In addition to overseeing the research of about 30 students in over five fields of study, I did my own research originally in sensory science before moving to machine learning and artificial intelligence. My goal at the institute was to develop models of human sensory perception that could be used to predict what different tasters would perceive in a variety of products. That original research created the technology base for Analytical Flavor Systems, and we keep improving on it today.
New: Gastrograph factors in demographic data such as age and socioeconomic status to predict consumer preferences. How much do demographics actually influence people’s tastes?
Cohen: Demographic factors are the classic nature versus nurture debate. Both have a large impact in what you perceive and what you prefer! We take into account the major demographic factors like age and socioeconomic status to help companies develop better products for everyone. What we find is that the mix of genetics and past experience cause cohorts to emerge amongst similar individuals, which make their perception and preferences predictable.
In 1979, Pierre Bourdieu wrote Distinction, a book about how individuals acquire their preferences; most tellingly, he wrote: “the arts of the bourgeois will remain the arts of the bourgeois because they have the formative experiences in which to appreciate it.” It’s an interesting quote on a variety of fronts! For example, if an individual has never tasted a lychee or pine nut, then they couldn’t use those descriptive terms when describing a product. That could be a problem, because it could look like wealthier individuals are better tasters, when in reality they only have a larger tasting vocabulary because of the wider range of their past experiences.
We knew when we were developing our models and system of sensory data collection that it couldn’t only work for those individuals, and we spent a lot of time developing a system that can collect and infer high resolution data even from individuals with very small vocabularies. Going back to lychee and pine nut as an example of that: even if an individual had never tasted a lychee, they could still describe it as fruity and tart and sweet, or other lower-resolution flavors, and they could still describe the pine nut as nutty and metallic.
New: It seems Analytical Flavor Systems’ major focus thus far has been beer. Is there a reason for this? How easy would it be to adapt the models you’ve developed for other kinds of foods and drinks that might not have such an “enthusiast” culture?
Cohen: My research and all of our original work was in tea, but it was very difficult to train American university student as tea tasters, because of their lack of familiarity with the product. I started collecting data on coffee, and while the data quality was better, it was still difficult to attract enough tasters. Then I started holding beer tasting, and no longer had a data problem—people would show up for free beer!
For Analytical Flavor Systems, beer is now a small portion of the products we work on. We also work on: chocolate, tea, noodles, dairy, soft drinks, baked goods, and spirits! It’s very easy for us to enter a new product category, it just takes a few days of data collection and some model training time.
New: You published some interesting research about how to determine the trustworthiness of food or beverage reviewers. How does this work? How do you go about quantifying something that seems so heavily subjective?
Cohen: Everyone likes to believe that they are unique and their opinions and responses are their own, but we can show that sensory perception is a response to an underlying stimuli. For example, we can both agree on what color an item is, and we can both agree on what flavor a product is. When both of us taste a product, the chemical composition doesn’t change, but our responses might—that’s the perceptual filter. What our AI learns is the distribution of the perception of specific demographic tasting populations and consumer cohorts within those populations, so that it can map the responses of stimuli between these groups.
To measure the accuracy and trustworthiness of an individual, we look at their in-group agreement based on how other tasters within the same demographic change their perception over time. That allows us to calibrate the experience curves across all users to see how an individual’s ability to identify subtlety and nuance in a product is predictive of their skill level.

Good luck to new Fed Chair Janet Yellen and her expectation that the Fed can continue to taper back its QE stimulus at the current pace until it is completely gone by summer.
The economic reports say it is not going to happen.
In her optimism regarding the economy, expressed in her testimony before Congress this week, Yellen pointed to GDP growth hitting an average annual rate of 3.5% in the last half of last year, compared to only 1.7% in the first half.
Regarding the negative consequences tapering seems to be having on emerging markets she said in effect that the Fed is only worried about the U.S.
She shrugged off the recent dismal jobs reports, saying weather may have played a factor, only agreeing that employment is still far from satisfactory conditions.
However, the problems are not showing up only in the jobs picture.
As I noted in previous columns, it has been the unexpected widening of the U.S. trade gap, as exports decline and imports rise. It has been in the huge plunge of the ISM Mfg Index, and in Durable Goods Orders, factory orders, home and auto sales.
This week is was the negative surprise of retail sales being down 0.4% in January, and previously reported sales for December revised down from a gain of 0.2% to a decline of 0.1%. It was also not encouraging that within the report, online sales, which should be boosted by bad weather that keeps shoppers away from the malls, also fell in January, down 0.6%.
The Federal Reserve reported Friday that U.S. industrial production fell 0.3% in January, versus the consensus forecast for a rise of 0.2%. The production report would have been even worse except for a 4.1% surge in utilities output due to increased heating demand.
The initial estimate from the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) was that the economy (GDP) grew at an annual pace of 3.2% in the 4th quarter, a number also noted by Fed Chair Yellen. However, the BEA subsequently revises the number monthly for several months as new information regarding the quarter comes in.
While Janet Yellen remains sanguine about the future, major Wall Street firms have slashed their economic estimates quite dramatically again this week, particularly after the disappointing retail sales report for January. They are continuing to cut their expectations not only for this quarter, but also for the fourth quarter of last year.
Barclay’s bank says the downward revision this week of previous reported retail sales in December subtracted another 0.4% from the firm’s already declining estimate for the fourth quarter, which now suggests a probable downward revision by the BEA to 2.2% “a full percentage point below the first official estimate of 3.2%”.
Michelle Girard, chief economist at RBS, says, “Our running tally of probable revisions for fourth-quarter GDP point to a downward revision to 2.3%”.
Jan Hatzius at Goldman Sachs cut his 4th quarter estimate of GDP growth to 2.4%, and his estimate for the current quarter to 1.9% (it was at 3.0% just three weeks ago).
This week Credit Suisse economists reduced their estimates for the current quarter in 2014 from their previous estimate of 2.6% to just 1.6%.
It may not be good news for the economy. However, the stock market loves it.
After declining for five straight weeks in January and into early February on concerns about the negative effect the Fed’s tapering was having on economic reports, the stock market has rallied for eight of the last ten days, now celebrating each additional negative report.
What happened to its concerns?
The deteriorating economic outlook has now reached the stage where each additional negative report becomes difficult for the Fed to shrug off, or blame on weather, and adds pressure for it to at least pause the tapering back of its QE stimulus.
It is doing so, and the stock market probably has it right that Fed stimulus will remain on the table for longer than expected. Whether that would be enough to reverse the U.S. economic slowdown, and global economic problems, particularly if the Fed waits until their next FOMC meeting in mid-March to make the decision, may be a question markets have to face later.

We’ve put together an overview of what will happen and how it all contributes to the internet evolution – with some extra advice to newcomers.
The summers of 2018 and 2019 in Montreal will be quite exciting for the internet community. The city will be the venue for two IETF meetings – the IETF 102 July 14-20 2018 and the IETF 105 July 20-26 2019 – followed by an Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) meeting November 2-8 2019.
While IETF meetings are essentially focused on standardization efforts, that is, designing protocols to make the internet work better and to build the internet of tomorrow, they are also considered as an umbrella for technical experts to meet across all their diverse fields, creating opportunities for cross-pollination and exchange of ideas between technical communities.
For developers and the open source community, there is the IETF hackathon as well as the Linux Networking Netdev0x12 before the IETF. For the research community there is great opportunity as the Internet Research Task Force (IRTF) organize meetings during the full IETF week. IRTF and IETF sessions are well integrated in the agenda with roughly two days full of exciting topics! And then internet policies are covered right before the IETF with a joint meeting between the Root Server System Advisory Committee (RSSAC) co-chairs and the Internet Architecture Board (IAB), the RSSAC caucus meeting as well as the ICANN DNS Symposium (IDS). You can find more details on the Netdev0x12 and the ICANN meetings below.
The fact that Montreal hosts IETF meetings for two consecutive years also creates additional incentive for the local community to meet startups, universities, research institutes, and developers.
Working out of the Ericsson research facility in Montreal, my colleagues and I are excited to get involved in several ways in these events. In addition to preparing for the technical discussions on our prioritized topics, we have been in close contact with universities to get them on board.
IETF meetings represent a great chance for newcomers to be introduced to the IETF and technical internet community. However, with more than 1,000 participants, IETF meetings are intense and it is easy to get lost, but this should not prevent anyone from joining the community! For a good start, newcomers are strongly encouraged to join the Mentoring programs. Complementary to those programs, we have met multiple universities, initiated the IETF Montreal Hub, and delivered presentations to ease the onboarding.
Another opportunity for first-time participants to actively participate in the IETF is the Hackathon – an activity more recently associated with the IETF. While we worked on engaging universities, the Hackathon raised a lot of interest from students and professors.
The hackathon takes place the two days prior to the IETF meeting. It has become so successful that many IETFers now consider it as the starting point of the IETF meeting.
One way to engage in the Hackathon is to join a team on a topic you have experience in or are willing to gain expertise on. This also presents the opportunity for students or researchers to bring their developments to the IETF and engage in discussions with other IETFers. You can easily advertise your work as well as get feedback that directly benefits your projects.
In our case, the Hackathon represents a chance to have our protocols challenged and scrutinized by people more focused on formal verifications.
While there are many technical events going on, I would like to highlight two of them: (1) the Linux open source network community conference Netdev 0x12 – THE Technical Conference on Linux Networking; and (2) the ICANN related meeting. Both these events bring different perspectives to IETF attendees.
Netdev 0x12 is a community-driven conference focused on the Linux networking user and kernel open source software. In the Linux world, network related stuff is anything under net/ and drivers/net. Though this may appear scary and too geeky, Netdev 0x12 represents a great opportunity to meet the people working with Linux networking and to get a sense of the direction the Linux technical community is heading. There are a good number of discussion topics that intersect IETF protocol related activities. Collaboration is broken down into a set of talks, tutorials, workshops and keynotes.
ICANN is also considering a number of opportunities to meet the IETF technical community. First, ICANN is organizing the ICANN DNS symposium (IDS) on the Friday prior to the IETF hackathon. This symposium is expected to include discussions on where the DNS is now and where its future is heading. Such reflections are necessary considering the recent changes in DNS with the introduction of DNSSEC to secure the DNS data and DTLS to address the concern of privacy, as well as DNS over HTTPS/QUIC.
Second, a number of discussions will also take place regarding the Root Server System (RSS). The RSSAC Caucus, which consists of technical experts that lead the technical work provided by RSSAC, will meet on the Sunday prior to the IETF week. In addition, RSSAC recently released RSSAC037 “A Proposed Governance Model for the DNS Root Server System” and RSSAC038 “RSSAC Advisory on a Proposed Governance Model for the DNS Root Server System“, publications which provide RSSAC’s perspective on how the RSS governance meets more rigorous requirements in terms of accountability and transparency. These considerations will be presented by the RSSAC co-chairs to the IAB as one of the main stakeholders of the RSS. Being an IETF liaison appointed by the IAB to RSSAC, I have been involved in the elaboration of these documents, and I can hardly wait to attend this meeting!
Security is a big part of the discussions during the IETF week. Earlier in this blog series, Jari Arkko outlined some of the high-level challenges for Internet security, and an upcoming article will focus on LURK, a security solution for content-delivery networks.
Acknowledgments: The author would like to thank Jamal Hadi Salim, Joel Halpern, Michael Cameron, Makan Pourzandi, Charles Eckel, Yosr Jarraya, Frederic Fieau, Polo Garcia Jesus Alberto Sanjay Mishra, Stere Preda, Amine Boukhtouta, Jari Arkko, and Zaheduzzaman Sarker for their feedback.

Five taxi associations in Benque Viejo Del Carmen are protesting a similar initiative by foreign, specifically Guatemalan nationals, to muscle in on their profits. The sixty drivers appeared in front of the Benque Town Council office this morning, asking the politicians to intervene in stopping Melchor vans and taxi drivers from making runs into Belize using Belizean taxi license plates obtained from transport authorities here. Using their Belizean plates, the Melchor drivers are bringing in students to attend school in Belize and making taxi runs – hurting the locals financially. According to our reports a meeting with the Council has been scheduled.
this is terrible for our economy worst at this time where things are expensive for family survivor. I don’t know how can this institutions lack the ability to foresee the effects of doing something like this, giving Belizean plates to guats to ferry guats across when it should be given primarily to our Belizean taxi people. Worst being we have diplomatic issues with them. But due to corruption and love for money this people don’t give a sit about the effect it causes to us Belizeans.
THAT IS A TIP OF THE ICEBURG !!!!
THERE ARE 22 TAXIS OPERATING IN THE CAYO DISTRICT THAT ARE SURE GUATEMALAN NATIONALS. ASK THEM HOW THEY GOT DRIVING PERMITS & LICENSE FOR THEIR CARS.
THOSE GUATEMALAN TAXIS HAVE TAKEN AWAY THE JOBS FROM THE TAXI DRIVERS FROM CAYO. AND…AND THE GUATEMALAN TAXI DRIVERS DRIVE VERY CRAZY, ENTER ANY NO ENTRY AT ANY TIME, SO PEOPLE BE CAREFUL WHEN WALKING THE STREETS OF CAYO DISTRICT.
I ALMOST FORGOT “THE BEST IS YET TO COME” …YET TO COME, SO PREPARE TO LIVE MISERABLE OR GET USED TO SEE GUATEMALA TAKE AWAY OUR JOBS !!!
Pressure on the incompetent puppet mayor. The area rep. Erwin Contreras (guatemalan by family, culture, and creed) has caused all this and much more since he became minister. He always looks to satisfy his guatemalan paisanos and get their votes, and have his fellow Belizeans eating from his hand. Those same taxi drivers were supporting him in his campaigns. Now he is giving them bukkut!!!
Indeed, and I would say that many of other labor aspects have been affected by not only Guatemalans but also many other Central American foreigners who would do a job for a better price than Belizeans and sadly many employers would accept their prices for a certain job leaving Belizeans with no other option than to work for the same price as foreigners. though I understand and have seen the effects of that in the far western part of the country where at first the minimum for a yard lot chopping and cleaning would range from $35 to $60 depending on conditions and size but now it ranges from $25 to $35 which was and is affected mostly by Guatemalan who’s economy is very bad and a $20-$25 Belizeans Dollars a day is equivalent to Q60-Q75. Imagine they would would chop a minimum of 2 lot yards a day for $25 which would be $50 equivalent to Q150. Sadly impacting our local laborers.

The Red Sea or where the desert meets the ocean! The yellow desert landscape stands in stark contrast to the deep blue of the neighbouring waters. Blue waters? So, where then did the Red Sea get its name? Its name originates from the periodic bloom of an alga that makes the water appear red. The phenomenon still occurs today.
The Red Sea is in geological terms a relatively young ocean. Created through separation of the Arabian plate from Africa and located in a predominantly arid zone it has developed into something truly unique. Through the years a wonderful biodiversity has evolved with colourful coral reefs, lush mangroves, fertile sea grass beds, and native species of seabirds, reef fish and invertebrates.
The Red Sea has a remarkably high number of species, which are found nowhere else. At least 15% of the marine species can only ever be seen by visiting the Red Sea. There are over 1,000 species of fish in the Red Sea, of which 20% is counted to the endemic fish population. The Red Sea has about 400 species of corals – 125 of which are soft corals. It houses also 40 species of sea star, more than a 100 species of mollusc and 150 species of crustaceans. All the naturally endemic species are non-migratory and reef bound, as pelagic species are not as limited in their movement. The abundance of marine life in the Red Sea leaves an unforgettable memory with anyone who is lucky enough to see it.
As you may be aware, people have all different reasons for deciding on a Red Sea holiday. With desert backdrops and golden sands lapped by warm waters, the Red Sea offers a different perspective from the bustle of the Nile-side towns. While many people want to explore this historical setting for educational purposes, others seek to enjoy all of the parties and entertainment offered by resorts with a Riviera feel as Sharm el Sheikh and Hurghada. You will also find that a significant number of people visit the Red Sea in order to enjoy diving, snorkelling, and other water sports. As you have been reading, the crystal clear waters hide a magical underwater world of vibrant colours, tropical marine life and spectacular corals. The Red Sea has something to offer everybody, whether you are looking for a family holiday in the sun or you are a devoted diver wanting to explore remote areas rarely visited by most holiday makers. No matter whether you want to enjoy your days on a sailboat, or exploring coral gardens beneath the water, you are sure to find plenty of sights and adventures to enjoy.

IT organizations are becoming increasingly attuned to the benefits of software-defined wide area networking (SD-WAN); the SD-WAN market is seeing a rapidly growing rate SD-WAN adoption. According to a July 2017 report from market-research firm IDC, SD-WAN adoption is seeing “remarkable growth” as companies seek to streamline their WAN infrastructure and evolve toward more cloud-based applications. The IDC report estimates that worldwide SD-WAN infrastructure and services revenues will see a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 69.6% and reach $8.05 billion in 2021.
Software-defined wide area networking (SD-WAN) is the application of software-defined networking (SDN) technology to WAN connections, which are used to connect enterprise networks—such as branch offices and data centers—over large geographic distances.
IDC attributes much of the growth in SD-WAN adoption to companies looking for ways to decrease the number of physical devices required to support applications as well as reduce the cost of maintaining technology deployed in remote locations. Big factors in this evolution of the SD-WAN market include digital transformation (including the cloud, network virtualization, big data, and mobility), the continuing rise of cloud-based software-as-a-service (SaaS) applications, and the broader acceptance of SDN.
A decided benefit of SD-WAN, according to Gartner, is that it essentially wraps existing technologies such as encryption, path control, overlay networks and subscription-based pricing together, and presents them to enterprises as a new integrated offering—thereby increasing SD-WAN adoption in the SD-WAN market through familiarity.

I tried using free accounting resources but did not find them helpful because they were similar to the textbooks. The registrant's earnings "management" has been effected at the direction or acquiescence of management in the belief that any deviations from GAAP have been immaterial and that accordingly the accounting is permissible.
The main advantage of postproduction issuing, not necessarily of backflushing, is that there is no need to update the store balances of inventory at the withdrawal of the materials from stores and recording the excess material through reverse posting Accounting practice question.
Backflushing transaction has two steps: Perpetual inventory management is a system where store balances of inventory are recorded after every transaction.
Components are counted when issued to a production order from Stores when the production order is opened. The stock in the supermarket is already issued to the shop floor stock.
Please note that the solution sheet on the next page only shows the solutions and not whether you got each of the questions right or wrong. But these can be automated in a variety of ways, especially since most transactions take place in a limited area Stores and not throughout the plant.
Another disadvantage is that it requires also monthly a reconciliation between the records of the management accounting and the financial accounting. In the context of perpetual inventory, backflushing is automatic accounting of material consumed for production, at the time of confirmation of the production, e.
Depending on which strategy is being used and depending on how it is implemented, backflushing can be completely eliminated. Dental software is ours. The issuing may be used to cover a period of time or to fill a fixed—size container. That means that assemblies are not produced further if a certain level of inventory is reached.
A few of them are: And all of this is at a very decent price compared to other options. If none of the containers is empty, no further assemblies are being produced.

It is very easy to use and any time you have a question or problem with something all you have to do is call and you have someone on the line to help you out immediately.
