  • Consular and Trade Offices
    Consular and Trade Offices Governments from throughout the world have consular offices and trade representation in greater Atlanta, Macon, and Savannah. Consular offices are established by foreign governments 1) to officially develop economic, commercial, scientific and cultural relations between the country they represent and the area in which they serve, and 2) to safeguard the interests of the sending country and its citizens traveling or residing in their consular district. Traditionally these duties include issuing and renewing passports and other official documents, helping travelers in distress, signing death certificates, legalizing or delivering official documents, and assisting travelers in trouble with local law enforcement or immigration authorities. Large consular offices often support cultural affairs and/or trade and investment, as well. Sixty-eight countries are represented in Georgia, with twenty-five career consulates, forty-five honorary consular offices and more than one dozen dedicated trade and investment agencies. Career officials are members of their country’s foreign (diplomatic) or commercial service, while honorary officials are local residents appointed by foreign governments to perform consular duties. The Dean of the Consular Corps, currently Mr. Claudia Valenzuela, Consul General of El Salvador, is traditionally the career official with the longest tenure. More than a dozen foreign governments have independent operations in Atlanta with a mission to promote trade and/or investment between their countries or regions and Georgia and the Southeast U.S. In total, there are eighty-four different consular and trade offices in Atlanta.

  • Predicting Future MLB Players Using Scouting Reports
    Trouble with the Curve: Predicting Future MLB Players Using Scouting Reports Jacob Danovitch∗ Department of Computer Science Carleton University Ottawa, Canada [email protected] Date: October 11, 2019 Abstract In baseball, a scouting report profiles a player’s characteristics and traits, usually intended for use in player valuation. This work presents a first-of-its-kind dataset of almost 10,000 scouting reports for minor league, international, and draft prospects. Compiled from articles posted to MLB.com and Fangraphs.com, each report consists of a written description of the player, numerical grades for several skills, and unique IDs to reference their profiles on popular resources like MLB.com, FanGraphs, and Baseball-Reference. With this dataset, we employ several deep neural networks to predict if minor league players will make the MLB given their scouting report. We open-source this data to share with the community, and present a web application demonstrating language variations in the reports of successful and unsuccessful prospects. 1 Introduction In the 2012 film Trouble with the Curve, Clint Eastwood portrays a scout for the Atlanta Braves whose traditional methods lie at odds with new statistical analyses. The film shares a look into the divide between the two major schools of thought in professional sports - the ’eye test’, and ’advanced analytics.’ The former method relies on closely studying players and making evaluations based on expert knowledge, whereas the latter advocates for data-driven decision making and the use of statistics to project future value. The work presented in this paper argues that this divide presents a false dichotomy - that both the eye test and advanced analytics have a place in the evaluation of baseball players.

  • City Council Meeting
    #15.. MEMORANDUM To: Mayor and City Council From: Michael Smith, Public Works Director Date: October 14, 2019 Subject: FIRST READ: Permanent Easement Agreement for DeKalb County Sanitary Sewer at 249 Perimeter Center Parkway BACKGROUND There are three existing DeKalb County sanitary sewer mains crossing the new Springwood Connector and the city’s property at 249 Perimeter Center Parkway. One of the mains does not currently have a recorded easement for the county to access and maintain its sewer infrastructure. The other two mains had to be realigned as part of the construction of the Springwood Connector necessitating a redrawing of the easements associated with those mains. The attached permanent easements grant access and maintenance rights to the county for its sewer infrastructure. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of the ordinance granting permanent easement rights to DeKalb County for the purposes of accessing and maintaining its sanitary sewer mains.
