Collusion elusion: the Mueller report Robert Mueller, the special counsel, has at last delivered his report on President Donald Trump’s campaign.

Integrating Financial Stability and Monetary Policy Analysis [Audio]
Speaker(s): Oystein Olsen, Dr Sushil Wadhwani | The past decade shows how monetary policy and financial stability are interlinked. In recent years, Norges Bank has been one of few central banks where the risk of a build-up of financial imbalances has played an explicit role in monetary policy. Norges Bank was also one of the first to establish an analytical framework for the Basel III macroprudential countercyclical capital buffer. The Governor, Øystein Olsen, will discuss both analytical and o
Time-lapse movie of a Föhn wave
Time lapsed photography of a Fohn Wave. A Fohn Wave is a cloud form created by atmospheric standing waves. These waves are created as stable air flows over a mountain range, and can either form above or in the lee of the range. As an air mass travels through the wave, it undergoes repeated uplift and descent. This video has no sound. Run time 01:38.

2.3.4 Geophysical methods — borehole logging If a core is not recovered from a borehole, another way to assess the types of rock that it penetrates is to measure their physical properties. Mounting a string of electronic instruments behind the drill bit most conveniently does this: it allows the properties of the rock to be monitored as the borehole is drilled. An alternative is to lower instruments down the completed borehole by cable; hence the name wireline logging. Such logging measures several physical properties of th

Fact Families
Students learn to write fact family problems. Fact families all use the same number.  Using a whole, part, part mat, students use cube trains to write two different addition problems using the same numbers- 2, 8 and 10 (2+8=10, 8+2=10). For the subtraction problems, students use the same cube trains but start with the whole (10) and then break it down into the two parts (2, 8). Write the subtraction sentences with the same numbers- 2, 8 and 10 (10-8=2, 10-2=8).  Â

E-Learning A Parallel Grid-based Implementation for Real Time Processing of Event Log Data in Collaborative App
While e-learning has become accepted in large companies as a standard option for training, most corporate e-learning has not produced the hoped-for performance improvement. Yet elearning has a tremendous amount of unrealized potential to provide high-quality, educationally-sound, engaging training that improves employeesÂ’ performance. Corporate elearningÂ’s lack of success seems to be due to the dearth of widely-publicized methods to teach skills needed by corporate employees, and by the percei
Collaborative applications usually register user interaction in the form of semi-structured plain text event log data. Extracting and structuring this data is a prerequisite for later key processes such as the analysis of interactions, assessment of group activity, or the provision of awareness and feedback. Yet, in real situations of online collaborative activity the processing of log data is usually done offline since structuring event log data is, in general, a computationally costly process
