Surprisingly, Craigslist can be a valuable resource for finding freelance opportunities, especially for local gigs. Be cautious and do your due diligence when using this platform, as it lacks the built-in safeguards found on dedicated freelancing websites.
Embarking on a freelance career can be both exciting and rewarding, and the freelancing platforms mentioned above provide a gateway to connect with clients worldwide. However, success as a freelancer requires more than just signing up on a platform. It’s crucial to build a strong portfolio, market your skills effectively, and provide exceptional service to clients.
Each of these freelancing platforms has its unique features and strengths, so it’s worth exploring several to find the ones that align best with your skills and goals. Whether you’re a seasoned freelancer or just starting, these top 10 freelancing websites offer opportunities to showcase your talents and build a thriving freelance career.


In today’s rapidly advancing world, the pace at which new technologies emerge and evolve can be both exhilarating and overwhelming. The landscape of innovation is a tapestry, rich with complex patterns, each thread representing a new idea, a fresh perspective, a bold step forward. It is here, in this intricate web of progress, that we find ourselves standing on the brink of a future that once seemed the stuff of science fiction.
The Evolution of Connectivity: Beyond the Internet Age
As we embark on this journey, it is crucial to consider the remarkable evolution of connectivity. In the past few decades, the internet has transformed from a luxury to a necessity, intertwining with every aspect of our lives. However, what lies ahead is not just an extension of this network, but a radical reinvention of how we connect with the world and with each other. Emerging technologies like 5G, quantum networking, and the Internet of Things (IoT) are not just enhancing our current capabilities; they are redefining the very fabric of connectivity. They promise speeds that make today’s broadband look like a trickle, a world where billions of devices communicate seamlessly, and a network so secure and efficient that it could revolutionize everything from telemedicine to autonomous vehicles.
Artificial Intelligence: The Mind Behind the Machine
Perhaps no other field encapsulates the spirit of new technology quite like Artificial Intelligence (AI). Once a fanciful notion, AI is now a tangible, driving force in countless industries. Its applications range from the seemingly mundane, like recommendation algorithms on streaming services, to groundbreaking advancements in medical diagnostics and environmental conservation. AI’s potential lies not just in its ability to process vast amounts of data, but in its capacity for learning, adapting, and potentially, understanding. It poses profound questions about what it means to be intelligent, to be creative, to be human. Yet, as we integrate AI more deeply into our lives, we must tread carefully, balancing the allure of its capabilities with ethical considerations and the societal impacts of automation and job displacement.
The Quantum Leap: Entering a New Realm of Computing
At the heart of many technological breakthroughs is an unsung hero: computing power. The next quantum leap in this domain, quite literally, is quantum computing. Operating on principles that defy the norms of classical physics, quantum computers have the potential to perform calculations at speeds unimaginable with current technology. This could lead to extraordinary advances in material science, complex system modeling, and cryptography. Quantum computing stands as a beacon of possibility, signaling a future where the boundaries of scientific inquiry are dramatically expanded. However, this technology also brings challenges, particularly in cybersecurity, as traditional encryption methods may no longer suffice in a quantum-dominated landscape.
Sustainability and Technology: Forging a Greener Tomorrow
As we marvel at these technological wonders, it is imperative to address the environmental impact of such rapid advancement. The intersection of sustainability and technology is a critical frontier. Innovations in renewable energy, such as more efficient solar panels and wind turbines, are becoming increasingly important. However, sustainability in technology goes beyond just energy consumption. It encompasses the entire lifecycle of products, from design to disposal. Companies are exploring new materials and manufacturing processes to reduce waste and carbon footprints. The concept of a circular economy, where resources are reused and recycled, is gaining traction, driven by both technological innovations and a growing awareness of environmental responsibility.
In conclusion, as we stand at the cusp of a new era in technology, it is essential to approach these advancements with a sense of wonder, tempered by a deep understanding of their potential impacts. The future shaped by these technologies will be as complex as it is exciting, filled with challenges to overcome and opportunities to seize. It is a future that beckons us to explore, to question, and to dream. For in the realm of new technologies, the only constant is change, and the only limit is our imagination.


In philosophy and practice, we are a creative agency first. Our consulting services help clients define the scope and objectives of their digital signage networks and map those objectives to real-time solutions that get results. We take the time to learn your goals and challenges. Then we work with you to create what we call a brief that details every aspect of your particular solution.
While technology is vital to creating effective digital displays, that’s not where our conversations start. We don’t try to sell technology and build a solution around it. We create a network, then support it with the right hardware, software and content.
If you could look behind the thousands of Respario digital signs installed across the country, you would find a wide range of technology, from basic media players to the most complex content devices.
We’re not tied to any single hardware or software manufacturer; and we’ve worked with a whole range of them. We’ve learned which technologies work best with which applications. That means we can recommend the most efficient and economical options for your particular need.
Commercial-grade LCD displays. Internet-connected media players. Cabling, speakers and mounts. Controllers for remote management of displays and audio. We do it all.
With more than 3,000 field technicians at our disposal, Respario has every capability required to launch and manage digital signage networks. Our team works to ensure that the proper equipment is specified and shipped, that it is installed with a high level of accuracy and that each location goes live on time and on budget.
Using surveys and photography, we know everything about a site before we ship the equipment. Each piece we send carries an asset tag and an 800 number at which the technician can reach our service team. It’s a highly refined process that is both systematic and customized.
If technology is the heart of a digital signage system, then content is its soul. Based on a client’s individual brief strategy document, Respario can design media and produce video that delivers results based on the audience and the location. We can develop anything from motion graphics to stills to animation as well as perform video editing on existing assets. If custom videography is required, we can manage that too.
Need content? Respario has content-sharing partnerships with some of the most recognized names in media, organizations such as AccuWeather, Reader’s Digest and Meredith Publications, publishers of Family Circle and Better Homes and Gardens.
The latest national, world and health news from The Associated Press delivered to digital signs. Current weather and forecasts – down to the ZIP code – updated up to seven times a day. Mortgage rates. Even the current position of the International Space Station.
All that’s possible because Respario monitors, manages and supports all its digital signage networks. Our call center handles questions and tickets through an exclusive 800 number. Our network operations center offers:
A central repository for network content and an aggregation point for content contributors
Uploading and scheduling of content to field media players
Monitoring of servers and players for network health, connectivity and proper functionality.
We DESIGN digital signage solutions based on brands and their competition, consumers, goals and strengths. We DEVELOP each system based on a fresh and focused strategic direction. We DEPLOY systems using every skill and talent in the Respario arsenal. And we MANAGE them with an eye toward keeping digital signs fresh, compelling and profitable.Get Started

Tytuł: Explaining smartphone-based acoustic data with linguistic summaries for the mental health monitoring
Data: wtorek, 23.05.2023, godz. 12:00-13:30
Miejsce: A1-33/34 (Sala Rady Wydziału)
Prelegent: Katarzyna Kaczmarek-Majer, Instytut Badań Systemowych Polskiej Akademii Nauk, Warszawa
Abstrakt: The changes in the manner of speaking reflect the mood state very accurately and are used intuitively by psychiatrists in everyday practice. Considering the possibility of continuous speech data collection via a smartphone app, smartphones have tremendous potential to improve the early detection and monitoring of episodes of mental illnesses. Nevertheless, they are still underutilized in practice. Furthermore, there is still need for common standards and clear guidelines about machine learning algorithms and metrics to be applied when supporting mental health monitoring. Finally, there is still an unmet clinical need to explain relations between attributes, symptoms, and states for this particular applied context. During this seminar, an approach called PLENARY: exPlaining bLack-box modEls in Natural lAnguage thRough fuzzY linguistic summaries will be presented. PLENARY is an explainable classifier based on a data-driven predictive model. Model explanations are derived through the popular SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) tool and conveyed in a linguistic form via fuzzy linguistic summaries. The linguistic summarization allows translating the explanations of the model outputs provided by SHAP into statements expressed in natural language. The approach was validated on preprocessed speech signals collected from smartphones from patients with bipolar disorder and on publicly available mental health survey data. The experiments confirm that fuzzy linguistic summarization is an effective technique to support meta-analyses of the outputs of AI models. This work is a part of the BIPOLAR project. BIPLAR’s ambition is to provide an analytical software package that facilitates timely and contextual mental health monitoring aiming to set the foundations to further innovate in the intelligent sensor-based prediction of bipolar disorder episodes.

Eco-System Collaboration Solution
Increasing market demand places pressure on enterprises to distribute critical business processes around the globe and across networks of business partners in order to deliver products faster and at lower costs. Facing with these challenges, enterprises have adopted solutions such as instant messaging, web and video conferencing, terminal services technologies, database sharing solutions, or Microsoft Office based collaboration solutions. A collaboration solution may address a specific department need, it may not be compatible with the need of another. Some solutions may not work across security boundaries or be compliant to enterprise security policies. This fragmentation causes productivity, management, and security challenges especially for security-sensitive enterprises.
Enterprises face the following challenges:
- Lost Productivity - Poor communications and collaborative efforts among geographically distributed team members and business partners affect productivity.
- Increasing Security Threats - The ever increasing threats of new and unknown computer viruses, worms, and intrusions cause enterprises to restrict network access, limit data sharing, and reduce collaborative activities.
Enterprises realize that productivity goals can only be achieved by balancing collaboration and access with security control.
Addressing the needs for improved communication and better security controls, TeamLinks unified collaboration solution seamlessly integrates the most needed features into one product. All features and functions are managed through a single administration interface for improved operation efficiency and security. Users no longer have to run multiple applications on their desktops or worry about interoperability across multiple solutions. Administrators no longer have to patch multiple systems for potential security holes or constantly tweak their security infrastructures, such as opening ports in their firewalls or locking source or destination IP's, to accommodate each tool. TeamLinks Unified Collaboration environment offers one integrated collaboration environment and a single point of security administration.
Imera Systems offers next generation collaboration solutions that address these challenges in the following ways:
- Instant Collaboration and Productivity Between Teams - Imera solution provides instant awareness of team members' online status and a complete collaboration and access tool suite for teams within the ecosystem to instantly engage in private sessions or meetings and collaborate over the Internet securely.

How to respond when an account is compromised.
A recent study by the Pew Research Center found that 64% of Americans reported that they had experienced a major data breach, including 35% who had an account number or other sensitive information compromised.1 Sensible precautions to secure your online information can help you avoid joining this statistic, but given the increasing severity and frequency of cyberattacks, there is no perfect solution. If you are hacked, the advice below can help minimize your exposure and better secure your accounts going forward.
- Change your password as soon as you are aware your account has been hacked. Do this from a device that you know is not compromised or infected with malware.
- Log out of the compromised account(s) on all devices.
- Check the login logs for your account(s). Most cloud services track each and every time you log in to an account. This allows you to see when and from where that account has been accessed.
- If a financial account has been hacked, immediately inform the financial institution and add a fraud alert to your credit report. This will make it harder to open a new account under your name if your identity has been stolen. Adding a fraud alert is free, good for 90 days, and if you add it to one credit-reporting agency, it will be reported to the other three.
- It may be prudent to cancel accounts that have been compromised and replace them with a new credit card, investment and/or bank account.
- If your email address was compromised when the account was hacked, consider establishing a new email address that you only use for banking, investment, health care and other accounts that hold sensitive information.
- If your phone number was compromised, consider getting a new cell phone number, particularly if you have services that use multifactor authentication or a verbal call-back for verification.
Reducing the Likelihood of a Future Attack
- Strengthen your password with more special characters, upper- and lower-case letters and numbers. Avoid using real words or personal information in your passwords.
- Enable multifactor authentication on all your accounts and devices.
- If available, enable account login notifications.
- Set up credit card alerts to notify you when a transaction occurs so that you can identify fraudulent charges quickly.
- When considering monitoring services, it is important to note the difference between identity-theft monitoring and cybersecurity monitoring. Both can be beneficial, but cybersecurity monitoring is intended to help prevent cybercrime, while identity-theft monitoring is intended to help you react more quickly if fraudulent activity has already occurred.

The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service’s ICT department has scooped two top gongs at the recent Holyrood Connect ICT awards.
The Service won in both the mobile and cloud adoption categories at this year’s public sector event in Edinburgh.
Sponsored by Fieldimp, the Mobile category was awarded to recognise an organisation that had embraced mobile technology to deliver a more effective service.
In the cloud adoption category, the winners had to demonstrate the transformational impact on the organisation and how they overcame security obstacles as well as measuring benefits to the service.
Both awards were won through the operational intelligence project which saw removable hardware installed in appliances and a single system created that gives firefighters access to detailed building layouts, hazard information and mapping further ensuring their safety.
Head of ICT Sandra Fox attended the event with members of her team.
Sandra said: “Our team has worked hard to deliver and we are therefore thoroughly delighted to have won two awards at this year’s ceremony.
“It is a great feeling to know all our efforts are being recognised at a national level.
“I’m very proud to lead such a talented team of ICT professionals and we will work to continue to offer an award winning ICT service to SFRS staff for years to come.”
Lead of the project Local Senior Officer Roddie Keith added: “These awards are the result of a huge team effort involving the SFRS Response and Resilience Directorate, ICT, Fleet, Finance and our external IT development partner.
“Most importantly, this new product will help to keep our firefighters safe by providing them with accurate, up-to-date risk information at the point of need.”

About Equinox Synth
100% Analogue Signal Path
Whilst we embrace both digital and analogue in equal amounts, there is a very complex play between waveforms in a modular synthesiser. The charging of an analogue component over an infinite range of values to produce a waveform can never be replicated in digital. This is the reason all electronics in the audio signal path will always be analogue.
The Equinox VCO is the embodiment of this ethos, based on classic analogue design and built with standard electronic components, the cost is reduced, however there is absolutely no compromise when it comes to sound quality.
Hand built by Robots
Modules are built using cutting edge manufacturing processes, based in Glasgow.
By outsourcing the manufacturing, more people are involved in the process, which ultimately means more jobs and more money in the local economy.
Classic Boutique Designs
A passion for electronic music is at the heart of everything we do.
Like a DJ digging through creates for records, we have delved into the archives for the best in classic synth designs, then remastered them for the modern world.
Industry Standard Components
Components are sourced through industry standard channels.
Modern components are manufactured to ever tighter quality standards. Noise has been reduced to imperceptible levels. They are also easier to source. And cheaper too.
From work experience at British Aerospace through to a career in British Army working on defence electronics, Rob Spencer has always had a passion for electronics. Since leaving the Army in 2007, he has been working as an IT Project Manager, the highlight being helping to launch ApplePay in the UK.
For the past 5 years he has been combining his two main passions: Electronics and Music. Always keen to push technology forward he has been combining classic designs with cutting edge design and manufacturing processes such as Agile Product Development and Kaizen Continous Improvement.
He also runs the occasional workshop and gives lectures on Modular Synthesis, Product Design and Music.

Furthermore, their expectations are to change the status quo by providing alternative resources that would otherwise be potentially damaging and dangerous to the public and the environment if the technology were not assimilated in their society.
Over the years, innovators in the field were able to make great strides by creating renewable energy such as electricity, heat, and fuel from a variety of methods. These methods consist of wind energy, geothermal energy, ocean energy, hydropower, biomass, and solar power. While these methods have become the marketing points for green technology, green technology is so much more. The advancement and ever-growing change within technology has now changed the way we view green technology for our everyday lives. It has not longer just about solar panels, wind turbines, and alternative fuel resources. Rather, it is about innovative and impactful tools that can truly transform our world for the better. Below, you will find three innovative applications that are already making an impact on today’s society. The question we have to ask ourselves is, what will be next?
The idea and concept for 3-D printing has been around for years, but its application and efficiency has now made it a game-changer in the field of green technology. Imagine the idea of a device that can print out an entire build from dirt and rocks. Sounds a bit unbelievable right? With 3-D printing, especially various prototypes such as the D-Shape printer, these devices are able to create buildings and other useful devices from stones. The printing process starts with a thin layer of sand, which is then sprayed with magnesium-based glue to bind the overall product. The product is then built layer by layer until it is completed. For green technology, this type of device is a huge leap in reducing fuel and natural resources.
With various car brands dominating the industry, it was hard to believe that an electric car could compete with the luxury and standard every driver has for their automobile. This was believed to be true until Tesla Motors were able to make its impact back in 2002 and flip the page with brilliantly innovative and environmentally friendly cars. The American automotive and energy storage company designs, produces, and sells electric cars. Their automobiles run on a lithium-ion battery (aka electricity). While there can be some debate about its energy resource, Tesla has made great strides in creating a far cleaner zero-emission. Continuing its mission, Tesla is constantly trying to improve not just with its environmental mission, but also with its innovative technological ideas.
Back in 2007, this invention uses kinetic energy to channel it into electricity. The magic behind how it works is in its advanced circuitry design, which converts footsteps into power. The PowerLeap’s playful and lively concept is something fun for people of all ages. While it has not yet made a huge impact on today’s modern world, this invention is something that could have a large amount of potential for everyday uses.

If you’re the proud owner of a start-up, then you know that starting a business often means a commitment that is well beyond normal office hours. Saving time through automated processes allows you to spend important and valuable hours on what matters most – building your business. Our digital savvy expert, Thomas Pays, shares some online tools available to help start-ups grow.
There are many cloud-based software options available for project management. As there is also no ‘one size fits all’ solution when it comes to finding a process that works for your business, Thomas says that the best way to find the system you need is to test the various options available and go with what works for you. He suggests taking a look at Basecamp, Trello and Zoho – and the best part is, they’re free!
One vital aspect of business is to have your accounting under control. As it stands there are many local and international solutions for your businesses accounting needs. Thomas suggests using a system called Xero. He says his accounting team has now increased productivity by more than double with this automated software.
Once you’ve crunched the numbers, it’s important to analyse your progress and sense-check your efforts against your business KPI’s. A software solution called FathomHQ (which conveniently functions as a plugin of Xero) exports your financial data and presents it in a visually appealing and user friendly format.
One of the best ways to keep track of your email communications is using a tool called Yesware. This simple to use tracking tool will help keep you organized and ensure you never miss a follow-up mail again.
When it comes to file collaboration and calendar syncing, Thomas has always been a big fan of Synaq, who provide an advanced system and great support for businesses.
If your start-up is an e-commerce company, you’ll know that finding the right partners to run your e-commerce efficiently plays a massive role in determining your success. Logistics is one of the biggest hassles in e-commerce so it makes sense to partner with an expert. Parcel Ninja is an advanced and efficient logistics company that works cohesively with you and your business, taking control of your logistical needs.
Finding the right digital agency partner is also a priority; they’ll put the relevant steps in place and implement the most effective procedures in order to successfully acquire new clients for your business. This allows for you to focus on customer retention and grow your site. Thomas says: “It makes sense to partner with a results driven digital agency like Just Perfect – a digital marketing agency focused on your success.”
When it comes to the implementation, upgrade or customer relationship management of your online store, there aren’t a lot of solutions to choose from. If you’re able to afford a top-notch solution, Thomas suggests going with a company like Bigcommerce. Alternatively, if you’re looking for a more affordable option with a more basic offering, Shopify is a great choice.
Before you get bogged down with problems, remember to check for solutions online – there’s bound to be something that suits your needs.


Forex trading robots are computer programs that use algorithms and mathematical rules to automatically execute trades in the forex market. They can analyze market data, generate trading signals, open and close positions, and manage risk and money without human intervention. Forex trading robots are also known as expert advisors, automated trading systems, or forex bots.
The main purpose and benefits of using trading robots are to eliminate human emotions and biases from trading decisions, to execute trades faster and more efficiently than manual trading, to operate 24/7 without fatigue or distraction, to backtest and optimize trading strategies based on historical data, and to save time and effort for traders who have other commitments or interests.
Some common types and examples of trading robots are trend-following robots, scalping robots, breakout robots, grid robots, martingale robots, arbitrage robots, news trading robots, and custom-made robots.
In this article, we will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of forex trading using trading robots. We will also provide some tips and recommendations for traders who want to use trading robots. By the end of this article, you will have a better understanding of the pros and cons of trading robots and how to use them effectively.
Advantages of Forex Trading Using Trading Robots
One of the advantages of forex trading using trading robots is that they can eliminate human emotions and biases from trading decisions. Human emotions, such as fear, greed, anger, or excitement, can often interfere with rational and objective trading. Human biases, such as confirmation bias, hindsight bias, or overconfidence, can also lead to poor and inconsistent trading. Trading robots, on the other hand, can follow the predefined rules and logic without being influenced by emotions or biases. They can trade based on facts and data, not feelings or opinions.
Another advantage of forex trading using trading robots is that they can execute trades faster and more efficiently than manual trading. Trading robots can scan and analyze multiple markets, indicators, and time frames simultaneously and generate trading signals in real time. They can also open and close positions in a matter of seconds, without any delay or hesitation. Trading robots can take advantage of every trading opportunity that arises in the market, without missing any profitable trade or losing any precious time.
A third advantage of forex trading using trading robots is that they can operate 24/7 without fatigue or distraction. Trading robots do not need to sleep, eat, rest, or take breaks. They can monitor and trade the forex market around the clock, regardless of the time zone or session. Trading robots do not get tired, bored, or stressed by trading. They can maintain a high level of performance and consistency throughout the trading day.
A fourth advantage of forex trading using trading robots is that they can backtest and optimize trading strategies based on historical data. Trading robots can use historical data to test and evaluate the effectiveness and profitability of their trading strategies. They can also use optimization techniques to fine-tune their parameters and settings to improve their results. Trading robots can provide traders with reliable and accurate feedback and statistics on their trading performance.
A fifth advantage of forex trading using trading robots is that they can save time and effort for traders who have other commitments or interests. Trading robots can free up traders from the tedious and repetitive tasks of manual trading. Traders do not need to spend hours in front of the computer screen, watching the market movements, analyzing the charts, or placing the orders. Traders can delegate their trading activities to the robots and focus on other aspects of their lives, such as work, family, education, or hobbies.
Disadvantages of Forex Trading Using Trading Robots
One of the disadvantages of forex trading using trading robots is that they require technical skills and knowledge to program and maintain. Trading robots are not plug-and-play devices that can be used without any customization or configuration. Traders need to have a good understanding of programming languages, such as MQL4, MQL5, Python, C#, or Java, to create and modify their own trading robots. Traders also need to have a good knowledge of trading strategies, indicators, and market conditions to design and optimize their trading robots. Trading robots also need to be updated and monitored regularly to ensure their functionality and security.
Another disadvantage of forex trading using trading robots is that they may not adapt well to changing market conditions or unexpected events. Trading robots are based on predefined rules and logic that may not be suitable or effective for every market situation. Trading robots may fail to capture the nuances, trends, or patterns that human traders can perceive and exploit. Trading robots may also encounter problems or errors when dealing with high volatility, low liquidity, news releases, or technical issues. Trading robots may not be able to react quickly or appropriately to these situations and may cause losses or damages.
A third disadvantage of forex trading using trading robots is that they may generate false or misleading signals due to technical glitches or errors. Trading robots are not infallible and may produce inaccurate or inconsistent results due to various factors, such as bugs, malfunctions, data feed issues, network failures, or hacking attacks. Trading robots may also be affected by curve-fitting or over-optimization, which means that they are fitted too closely to the historical data and may not perform well in the live market. Trading robots may also suffer from latency or slippage, which means that there is a delay or difference between the intended and executed price of a trade.
A fourth disadvantage of forex trading using trading robots is that they may incur high costs and risks due to overtrading or malfunctioning. Trading robots may execute trades more frequently than necessary or desirable, which can increase the transaction costs and commissions for the traders. Trading robots may also trade beyond the risk parameters or limits set by the traders, which can expose them to excessive losses or margin calls. Trading robots may also malfunction or stop working without warning, which can leave the traders with open positions that are uncontrolled or unprotected.
A fifth disadvantage of forex trading using trading robots is that they may lack creativity and innovation that human traders can offer. Trading robots are limited by the rules and logic that are programmed into them and may not be able to generate new ideas or strategies that can improve their performance or profitability. Trading robots may also miss out on the learning and development opportunities that human traders can gain from their trading experience and feedback. Trading robots may also lack the personal touch and human interaction that can make trading more enjoyable and rewarding.
Forex trading robots are computer programs that can automatically execute trades in the forex market based on predefined rules and logic. They have both advantages and disadvantages for traders who want to use them. Some of the advantages are that they can eliminate human emotions and biases, execute trades faster and more efficiently, operate 24/7, backtest and optimize trading strategies, and save time and effort. Some of the disadvantages are that they require technical skills and knowledge, may not adapt well to changing market conditions or unexpected events, may generate false or misleading signals, may incur high costs and risks, and may lack creativity and innovation.
If you want to use trading robots, here are some tips and recommendations for you:
- Choose a forex trading robot that suits your trading style, goals, and personality. Do not blindly follow the hype or the claims of the robot developers or sellers. Do your own research and due diligence before buying or using any trading robot.
- Test and evaluate the trading robot on a demo account first before using it on a live account. Monitor its performance and results regularly and compare them with your expectations and objectives. Make sure the trading robot is compatible with your broker, platform, and account type.
- Adjust the parameters and settings of the trading robot according to your risk appetite and market conditions. Do not use the default settings without understanding their implications and consequences. Use a reasonable lot size, stop loss, take profit, and risk-reward ratio for your trades.
- Do not rely solely on the trading robot for your trading decisions. Use your own analysis, judgment, and common sense as well. Be aware of the market news, events, and trends that may affect your trading. Be ready to intervene or override the trading robot when necessary.
- Do not expect the trading robot to make you rich overnight or guarantee you consistent profits. Trading robots are not magic machines that can solve all your trading problems or fulfill all your trading dreams. Trading robots are tools that can assist you in your trading, but they are not substitutes for your trading skills, knowledge, and experience.
Forex trading robots are not perfect and they have their own limitations and challenges. They may not work well in every market situation or for every trader. They may also encounter technical issues or errors that may affect their performance or results. Therefore, further research or development is needed to improve the quality and reliability of forex trading robots.
We hope this article has given you some useful information and insights about forex trading using trading robots.

Deploying your application
When you run
grunt build, it generates a completely optimized version of your application in a
dist directory that can be deployed.
The recommended way of deploying the
dist directory is using
distdirectory from the
distdirectory to your repository and commit it with your project.
git add dist && git commit -m "Initial dist subtree commit"
distdirectory is part of your project we can use
git subtreeto set up a separate repository on a different branch.
// Deploying dist to GitHub Pages git subtree push --prefix dist origin gh-pages
Note: prefix must be the relative path to your
distdirectory. This is assuming
distis in your root directory.
Now you can commit to your entire repository in your default (master) branch and whenever you want to deploy the
distdirectory you can run:
git subtree push --prefix dist origin gh-pages
Some common errors
- By default the
distdirectory is going to be ignored by git. It is important to remove it from the .gitignore file.
- You must first commit your
distdirectory to the default (master) branch before running the git subtree command.
git subtreecommand must be called from the root directory.
--prefixoption must be the relative path to your
- GitHub Pages uses the
gh-pagesbranch for deploying project pages. Users & Organization Pages use the
masterbranch. This means you might want to use master as your subtree branch and set up a different branch for your app source.
- You might get an error like this
Updates were rejected because the tip of your current branch is behind. You can solve this by force pushing to the remote (be careful though, it will destroy whatever is already there).

Some energy experts on Thursday, June 27, 2019 called for the creation of more power grids as panacea to solving the energy shortage in Nigeria.
They made the call at a workshop by Intelligent Distributed Energy Resources Management Systems (IDERMS) in Lagos.
Participants in the workshop, with the theme: “Building Intelligent Energy Hub in Nigeria”, included experts in energy development, investors, academicians and others.
The workshop focused on how lessons from smart grids, smart city could help Nigeria in developing the right use cases and business models that would open the energy market to the private sector.
The workshop, which was funded by the Manchester Metropolitan University, U.K., also aimed to stimulate collaboration with industry policymakers, academics at all level.
In his speech, Prof. Bamidele Adebisi from Metropolitan University said there was need to decentralise the power sector more in order to have optimum energy in the country.
“We need more mini power grids to solve the shortages we have in the power sector, sometimes; we always dwell too much on the problems at hand without harnessing the solution.
“Nigeria has enough resources to solve her power problem, but we need to start somewhere, that is the way to go.
“If we can get this energy in clusters, then we will be able to resolve some power problems.
“The energy problem in Nigeria is not what we cannot solve, but we need to be deliberate about it,” he said.
Corroborating Adebisi, Mr Akin Ande called for a better data management to determine the level of energy consumption in the country.
“The country lacks enough data to show the real energy consumption in the country because there are lots of energy thefts here and there.
“Nigeria must look into how the energy consumption can be solved through accurate data which will necessitate the real power needed.
“Nigeria also needs to implement policies to harness the potential of renewable generation for wider impact.
“In data analysis, we need to apply Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) combined with predictive models to achieve real-time control optimisation,” he said.

Last quarter, I introduced some programming (in Glowscript) into my intro physics course. At the end of the quarter, I got evaluations from a number of students who said something like, “I’m not a computer science major. Why do I need to learn to program?” Besides being a marketable job skill, learning to program gives you a completely new way to solve problems in the physical sciences. Computer models are also a standard tool in every scientific discipline I’ve encountered, so if you are going to major in the sciences, you need to learn how they work.
Getting started in programming is easier now than it ever has been in my memory. There are a ton of resources online. You don’t even need to install software on your computer to get started (though I’d recommend you do). What follows are some recommendations for students in my lab, but they go from general to specific, so if you are not a paleomagnetist/geophysicist, you can read until you feel like stopping.
Before you start, consider what programming language to learn. I recommend that my research students learn Python for the following reasons:
- It’s available for free.
- Even if you want nice add-ins and an easy-to-use editor, it’s still free for academic users.
- It’s what ESRI uses for a scripting language in ArcGIS, so if you do our GIS certificate program, you’ll use it.
- Programming in Python is relatively straightforward and forgiving.
- There are tons of add-in packages for all sorts of scientific purposes: if you don’t know how to write a complex piece of code, chances are someone has already done it for you.
- There are ways to interface with all sorts of nice graphics packages like plotly and other software packages like R.
- You can document what you do in notebooks, which you can share with the lab.
- For paleomagnetists: Lisa Tauxe’s PMAGPY software is written in Python.
There are a few other languages you’ll want to learn for specialized purposes:
- R, for statistics. We use it in our environmental stats course. It’s also free, has lots of add-ins, and is in wide use in academia and industry.
- Mathematica, for specialized tasks (mainly IRM acquisition modeling). I don’t know this one all that well!
- Matlab, for linear algebra. I don’t use Matlab so much anymore, since I can do most of the same things with Python or R… which are free. However, Matlab is widely used in geophysics.
What do you need to get started in Python? Although Mac computers come with Python installed already, I’d recommend installing Enthought’s Canopy software under an academic license. That gives you not only Python and the Matplotlib graphics add-on, but a nice way to keep track of and edit your programs or notebooks. It’s free for students and faculty, though you do need to register with Enthought. Otherwise, it’s a bit of a headache to try to install (if you are using a PC) and/or update Python, Matplotlib, and all of the other required stuff individually.
There are lots of resources available to help you learn Python. A list of the major ones is here. For the basics – if you are still just testing it out and haven’t installed anything yet – I like http://www.learnpython.org/ because it allows you to try things out in your browser window. However, learnpython.org does not teach you to use the Canopy software. A Canopy academic license allows you to use the Enthought Training on Demand tutorials. The Intro to Python tutorial looks really good. Has anyone tried it? Let me know how it is! Also, Lisa Tauxe’s PMAGPY Cookbook has some notes on using Python.
As a scientist, you will also want to get familiar with the NumPy, SciPy, and Matplotlib/Pylab packages (a package is the Python term for an add-in). Tutorials for these are available at python-guide, through Enthought, and in the PMAGPY Cookbook. There’s also a cool gallery of examples for Matplotlib.
The classic Numerical Recipes by Press et al. has lots of explanations of how to do common statistical and mathematical tasks in computer code. I don’t know if there’s a Python version out now (I have an old edition for the C language), but it’s a useful place to start for scientific programming. I’ve also found the book Programming Pearls by Jon Bentley useful for some things.
Now, for the specialized paleomagnetics stuff: download and install Lisa Tauxe’s PMAGPY package. This provides you with a set of programs that you can use to plot, manipulate, analyze, and model paleomagnetic data. Most have graphical user interfaces, and Tauxe has a good set of tutorials in the PMAGPY Cookbook. But it also provides a set of functions (pieces of code for performing specific tasks) that you can use in your own programs for common plotting and data analysis tasks.


Website hosting is a service that allows individuals and organisations to make their website accessible on the internet. Hosting companies provide space on a server, as well as internet connectivity, typically in a data center. When you sign up for hosting, you're essentially renting space on a server where your web files are stored, allowing users worldwide to access your website through the internet. Hosting Accounts also usually allow the setup of email addresses, using the same domain as used for the website.
Can I use Wordpress for my website?
Yes, our hosting services are fully compatible with WordPress, which is a widely used content management system. We offer easy one-click installations for WordPress, allowing you to get your WordPress website up and running quickly and efficiently. The servers use Solid State drives and Litespeed, and this really makes websites using Wordpress fly.
Can I host multiple domains with a single hosting account?
Yes, we do like many hosting providers, offer plans that allow you to host multiple domains under a single account. This feature is especially beneficial for those managing multiple websites. It simplifies administration, as you can manage all your domains from a single control panel without needing separate hosting accounts for each domain.
How do I set up email accounts for my domain?
Most hosting services include email hosting for your domain. You can set up email accounts through your hosting control panel. Typically, you'll create a new email address, set a password, and then configure your email client (like Outlook) to send and receive messages using your new email address.
Do you offer a free website builder?
Yes, we provide a free website builder with our hosting plans. This tool is user-friendly and allows you to create a professional-looking website without any coding knowledge. It comes with a variety of templates and customization options to suit your needs. Clients can also use other website builders like Wix, and then use this website with the domain, and we provide the emails for the account.
How often do you perform server backups?
We perform regular server backups to ensure your data is safe. Typically, backups are done daily, and we keep multiple copies for a certain period. This ensures that in the event of any data loss or server failure, your website can be quickly restored to a recent version.
What security measures are in place to protect my website and data?
Our hosting services include robust security measures such as firewalls, security monitoring, and regular software updates to protect against threats. We also provide SSL certificates to encrypt data transferred between your website and its visitors, enhancing the security of personal information.
What do I need to start hosting my website?
To start hosting your website, you need a domain name and a hosting plan. Once you've selected your plan, you can set up your website using a website builder or a content management system like WordPress. You'll also need content and design elements to build your website. To find an available domain name, enter possible names into the Domain Search form above. After adding a domain you found to the Shopping Cart, also select Website Hosting on the menu and choose one of the Hosting solutions available and add that to the Shopping Cart. Then Checkout, make payment and our system will register the domain, setup the hosting account and then send you the login details by email.
Can I upgrade my hosting plan as my website and data use grows?
Absolutely. We offer scalable hosting solutions, so you can upgrade your hosting plan as your website's needs grow. This ensures that your site always has the resources it needs, such as more storage space or increased bandwidth, to accommodate increasing traffic and content.
Do you offer technical support?
Yes, we offer comprehensive technical support to our clients. Our support team is available 24/7 to assist with any issues or questions you might have. You can reach us through various channels, including phone, email, and WhatsApp live chat, as well as support tickets in our Client Area.
How does the Free co.za Domain offer work?
We will register One Free co.za Domain for New Clients that subscribe to a Website Hosting package on selected levels for One Year and make payment for it. This is valid for all Hosting packages Except the Starter Package.
The co.za domain needs to be in the same order as the Website Hosting package so the system can correctly allocate the domain registration discount.

How to pick the right virtual medical assistant
Choosing the right virtual medical assistant for your practice is an important decision. There are numerous things to consider, including cost and features, to ensure you’re getting the best value for your money. In addition to price and features, a few other key elements should be considered when selecting a virtual medical assistant.
First, you’ll want to consider the experience and qualifications of the virtual medical assistant. Medical assistants must have a high level of technical knowledge and experience with healthcare technology to accurately provide patient information, coordinate appointments, manage records, and perform administrative tasks efficiently. It’s essential to look for a company that has highly experienced professionals and offers regular training to ensure your virtual medical assistant stays up-to-date on best practices and new technologies in the industry.
You’ll also want to consider how well-integrated the virtual medical assistant is with your current practice management system and any other third-party service providers you may be using. Ensure that the company offering your virtual medical assistant provides easy integration with your practice management system and other services. This ensures that patient data is stored correctly, securely, and easily accessible from any device.
Security is another crucial element when selecting a virtual medical assistant. Ensure the company offering the service has measures to protect sensitive data, such as encryption and multi-factor authentication. Additionally, look for a company that provides cloud storage solutions, so you don’t have to worry about backing up or storing important files onsite.
How much is a virtual assistant?
The cost of a virtual assistant can vary greatly depending on the requested services and the company providing them. Generally, fees for virtual assistance range from $10 to $50 per hour for basic administrative tasks, including data entry, scheduling appointments, creating documents, managing social media accounts, and responding to emails.
More specialized tasks such as bookkeeping, web design, SEO, and content creation can cost more depending on the job’s complexity. It is common for virtual assistant fees to be based on monthly retainer or project-based rates. Many virtual assistants also offer package deals that include discounted hourly rates when multiple services are requested.

The Sonnen Smart-Home Ecolinx System
Sonnen’s patented Ecolinx system offers sustainable living at its finest through centralized energy automation and smart-home features. This cutting-edge approach to solar offers a ton of benefits to homeowners looking to make the most out of their solar energy production. The user interface for the Sonnen system is integrated with smartphones and tablets ensuring an easy-to-use experience.

By calculating the times when energy use in your home is highest, the system can ensure you have battery power to spare for those spikes. For example, if your family uses a significant amount of energy in the morning for things like coffee makers, toasters, and blending that morning smoothie, the Ecolinx system will predict these actions over time and adjust accordingly.

- Power outage management options gives users the ability to choose what to power during an outage through their smart devices.
