Christopher L. Barrett, Executive Director, Virginia Bioinformatics Institute/Professor of Computer Science, Virginia Tech. Dr. Barrett’s talk entitled “Massively Interactive Systems: Thinking and Deciding in the Age of Big Data"
Abstract: This talk discusses advanced computationally assisted reasoning about large interaction-dominated systems. Current questions in science, from the biochemical foundations of life to the scale of the world economy, involve details of huge numbers and levels of intricate interactions. Subtle indirect causal connections and vastly extended definitions of system boundaries dominate the immediate future of scientific research. Beyond sheer numbers of details and interactions, the systems are variously layered and structured in ways perhaps best described as networks. Interactions include, and often co-create, these morphological and dynamical features, which can interact in their own right. Such “massively interacting” systems are characterized by, among other things, large amounts of data and branching behaviors. Although the amount of associated data is large, the systems do not even begin to explore their entire phase spaces. Their study is characterized by advanced computational methods. Major methodological revisions seem to be indicated.
Heretofore unavailable and rapidly growing basic source data and increasingly powerful computing resources drive complex system science toward unprecedented detail and scale. There is no obvious reason for this direction in science to change. The cost of acquiring data has historically dominated scientific costs and shaped the research environment in terms of approaches and even questions. In the several years, as the costs of social data, biological data and physical data have plummeted on a per-unit basis and as the volume of data is growing exponentially, the cost drivers for scientific research have clearly shifted from data generation to storage and analytical computation-based methods. The research environment is rapidly being reshaped by this change and, in particular, the social and bio–sciences are revolutionized by it. Moreover, the study of socially– and biologically–coupled systems (e.g., societal infrastructures and infectious disease public health policy analysis) is in flux as computation-based methods begin to greatly expand the scope of traditional problems in revolutionary ways.
How does this situation serve to guide the development of “information portal technology” for complex system science and for decision support? An example of an approach to detailed computational analysis of social and behavioral interaction with physical and infrastructure effects in the immediate aftermath of a devastating disaster will be described in this context.

reasoning skills are off the charts. takes delight in lego creations. if permitted, would be in charge.

No real reasoning behind this photo, just thought it looked nice...not a crime :P
Nah in honesty i like the cloud structure and the sun trail in the water. I feel the pier breaks up the image as a point of interest. I think if the pier hadnt been there i wouldnt of liked the photo as much.

Circular Reasoning: The Rise of Flat Earth Belief - Michael Marshall - Winchester Discovery Centre 2019-12-12
Want to create a retail area in your salon but aren’t sure the best way to go about it? Or maybe you’re struggling for space and don’t know how to incorporate retail into your existing space?
Whatever your dilemma, our retail expert Matthew Lutos, managing director of Beauty Planet Salon Design, has the answers. Here he tackles some of the most common questions when it comes to creating a salon retail area...
I have an existing retail area that is not doing particularly well, but I don’t have a huge amount of stock. Could this be the reason why are stock levels that important?

Dessert Choice Often Determines Success of Meal
The surest way to finish a meal successfully is to have a knockout dessert. It’s the case of a last impression leaving the favorable smile, so it isn’t such bad reasoning to plan the whole meal backwards, from the dessert to the soup.
Rhubarb is splendid for a tart touch and a pit often hits the spot.
Rhubarb Meringue Pie
1 C. diced rhubarb
3/4 C. sugar
1 C. milk
2 egg yolks
1/4 C. sugar
1 tbsp. flour.
1/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. lemon juice
1/4 tsp. vanilla
2 egg whites
4 tbsp. sugar
Stew the rhubarb and 3/4 cup sugar until soft. Cool and add the milk and beaten egg-yolks with 1/4 cup cup sugar, flour, vanilla and salt. Add lemon juice. Pour into a 9-inch pie plate lined with pastry and bake as directed for pies with custard fillings. The pie shell may be baked for 10 minutes before adding the filing, at a temperature of 450 degrees. With the filling in, bake 35 to 50 minutes at 350 degrees, Cover with a meringue made of the 2 egg whites and 4 tbsp. sugar, and bake in a slow oven (300 degrees) until the meringue is a delicate brown. If the meringue is sprinkled with sugar, the browning will make a crisp top.
Cracker Crust
We refer to the cracker method of making pie, a method so failure-proof that even a child can manage to make a pie that will be flaky and tasty. And by using flavored crackers, even the crust can be given a flavor all its own, vanilla, ginger, chocolate, lemon, are only some of the delectable pie flavors.
It’s easy to crumble the crackers. Just put the biscuits in a paper bag, twist the top tightly and apply the rolling pin. The second step is to mix the crumbs with a little softened butter and sugar, then press the mixture firmly against the sides and bottom of a buttered pie plate.
Pineapple Filling
Here is probably the simplest pie in captivity, but it’s simply scrumptious. It’s made of ingredients that you are likely to have on the shelf and it bakes in 15 minutes. Crumble a dozen graham crackers and mix with third cup softened butter and one tablespoon sugar and press in even layer against sides and bottom of buttered pit plate. Cut small quarter pound of marshmallows, combine with two cups canned crushed pineapple and one beaten egg and pour in cracker lined plate. Bake in moderate oven for 15 minutes.
you have the exact amount. For 1/2 cup shortening fill 1/2 full of water and do the same as for the 1/3 cup.
