The idea is not to replace government funded refugee sponsorship program, it is simply to augment it so that the collaborative resources can be leveraged to help more refugees given an average of 24 people were being forced to flee a minute worldwide as recently as 2015. United States and Canada have many similarities. Canada has a private sponsorship model that it augments with its government sponsorship model. If this approach has been working in Canada since the 1970s, it is also worth considering in the United States.

  • The Dentsu COVID-19 Pulse a Weekly Curation of Key Trends and Insights for Marketers and Brands
    COVID-19 Pulse April 2nd Edition The Dentsu COVID-19 Pulse A weekly curation of key trends and insights for marketers and brands. “We cannot choose the challenges we face, but we can choose how we respond to them.” –Greek Philosopher, Epictetus It is becoming clear that COVID-19 presents a challenge unprecedented in modern times - disrupting nations, economies and lives in ways not thought possible a few weeks ago. Our ability to respond to this change in productive and constructive ways depends on our ability to sift through the overwhelming torrent of news and information: to understand key dynamics and derive actionable insights that allow us as marketers to adap t in meaningful ways to safeguard and enhance the well-being of our people, our brands and our consumers. It is in that spirit that we developed the Dentsu COVID-19 Pulse: to bring together and curate the most up-to-date information, insights and thinking from across the Dentsu network to help marketers navigate the shifting road ahead. We’ll be with you as we push through the immediate crisis into recovery and, ultimately, a return to growth. Our goal is to publish this report on a weekly basis. A final thought (and silver lining). As you will see from our research in this report, consumers are looking for brands to take an active leadership role in helping them weather this storm. That means, more than ever, brands have an opportunity (dare we say mandate) to not just MARKET AT consumers as transactional buyers of products, but MATTER TO people as individuals and members of communities.

  • Arxiv:1509.04098V2 [Cs.SI]
    Fame for sale: efficient detection of fake Twitter followers✩ Stefano Crescia,b, Roberto Di Pietrob, Marinella Petrocchia, Angelo Spognardia,1,∗, Maurizio Tesconia aIIT-CNR, Via G. Moruzzi, 1 – 56124 Pisa, Italy bBell Labs, Alcatel-Lucent, Paris, France Abstract Fake followers are those Twitter accounts specifically created to inflate the number of followers of a target account. Fake followers are dangerous for the social platform and beyond, since they may alter concepts like popularity and influence in the Twittersphere—hence impacting on economy, politics, and society. In this paper, we contribute along different dimensions. First, we review some of the most relevant existing features and rules (proposed by Academia and Media) for anomalous Twitter accounts detection. Second, we create a baseline dataset of verified human and fake follower accounts. Such baseline dataset is publicly available to the scientific community. Then, we exploit the baseline dataset to train a set of machine-learning classifiers built over the reviewed rules and features. Our results show that most of the rules proposed by Media provide unsatisfactory performance in revealing fake followers, while features proposed in the past by Academia for spam detection provide good results. Building on the most promising features, we revise the classifiers both in terms of reduction of overfitting and cost for gathering the data needed to compute the features. The final result is a novel Class A classifier, general enough to thwart overfitting, lightweight thanks to the usage of the less costly features, and still able to correctly classify more than 95% of the accounts of the original training set.

  • Deer Control Suggestions
    Suggestions from the Deer Survey, March 2021 Stop allowing over development of town land for town houses. Something must be done. They are a hazard to many drivers, even on residential streets like Covington, Tampa, Tudor, etc. Allow residence with an appropriate approval who have fields appropriate enough to use bow to harvest deer in their backyard. Allow for permitted seasonal bow hunting Offer programs to kill deer that will not cost tax dollars Could bow hunting be allowed to reduce the cost on the taxpayers? Less chance of damage from firearms, and hunters would be more than willing to do it without taxpayer money. Possibly near the cazenovia creek wildlife management area? Not much of a resident presence there I think reducing the deer population might be necessary but this needs to be done thoughtfully. Done by wildlife experts. They need to be left alone! Now the rats on the other hand, you can get rid of those!!! I can't get them out of my house! People that can not live alongside deer should not move to where there are deer. The deer are part of the charm of our town. Allow archery hunting in West Seneca. Some how bait birth control. Allow archery and crossbow hunters to ethically reduce herd populations without having to cost residents more tax dollars by using contraceptives or sharp shooters. Yes, it's irritating that they eat my landscaping but I try to plant deer resistant varieties and use natural deterrents. They were here before us. The deer that frequent my yard are part of the reason I enjoy and continue to live here.

  • Quantitative Legal Prediction—Or—How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Start Preparing for the Data-Driven Future of the Legal Services Industry
    QUANTITATIVE LEGAL PREDICTION—OR—HOW I LEARNED TO STOP WORRYING AND START PREPARING FOR THE DATA-DRIVEN FUTURE OF THE LEGAL SERVICES INDUSTRY Daniel Martin Katz∗ INTRODUCTION Welcome to law’s information revolution1—revolution already in progress.2 While the 2008 financial crisis can be seen as the precipitating event, developments in legal information technology are actually a root cause of many of the long-term changes in the legal services market. When considering the downturn in the legal employment market, one should understand there are two distinct trends at play—one is cyclical and the other is structural.3 The cyclical downturn in the market for legal services is related to broader economic conditions.4 Some portion of the downturn in demand specifically associated with the broader business cycle will likely abate once broader economic conditions improve. Driven by technology, the structural portion of the downturn appears to be permanent, such that many of those legal jobs displaced both before and by the great recession will not return.5 ∗ Assistant Professor of Law, Michigan State University. Ph.D. University of Michigan (2011), M.P.P. University of Michigan (2005), J.D. University of Michigan (2005).
