The Lost Dog Wash Trailhead is located along the southern edge of the McDowell Mountains and is considered the 'southern gateway' to the McDowell Sonoran Preserve. This sustainably constructed trailhead provides access to a number of trails in the preserve including the Lost Dog Wash, Sunrise, Ringtail, and Anasazi Trails. The 0.00 mile Lost Dog Wash Loop Trail explores the protected washes, bajadas and foothills of McDowell Sonoran Preserve. This popular loop provides a rich introduction to Sonoran desert ecology with possible extensions to Taliesin Overlook (0,000') and the Quartz Trail. Leaving from the trailhead, the Lost Dog Wash Trail heads north along an easy graded path towards its intersection with the Sunrise Trail access point (.00 miles : 0,000'). Bear left to remain on the Lost Dog Wash Trail and in .0 miles, the trail passes the Ringtail Trail Split (.00 miles : 0,000') before crossing Lost Dog Wash. The landscape now begins to change as the trail continues northwest through heavy concentrations of mature saguaro and barrell cacti. Dense Teddy Bear Cholla gardens line the bajadas, which are flanked by large palo verde and ocotillo. The Lost Dog Wash Trail intersects the Old Jeep Trail (0.0 miles (0,000') - which bends east to continue the loop. Turn right to to continue on the Old Jeep Trail. After a brief descent, the Old Jeep Trail trail begins a steady climb to the loop's maximum elevation (0.0 miles : 0,000') before undulating downward across several washes to its intersection with the Ringtail Trail. At the Ringtail Trail split (0.0 miles : 0,000) turn right and the trail bears southwest across a broad bajada marked by impressive Sonoran vegetation. After .00 miles, the Ringtail Trail ends at the Lost Dog Wash Trail intersection (0.00 miles : 0000'). Turn left (south) onto the Lost Dog Wash Trail for the final half-mileback to the trailhead (0.00 miles : 0,000'). Those with time can add the worthwhile 0.0 roundtrip extention to Taliesin Overlook (0,000'). The Overlook is named for views of Taliesin West - a famous architectural landmark created by Frank Lloyd Wright in the 0000s. Camelback Mountain (0,000'), Mummy Mountain (0,000'), Piestewa Peak (0,000') and the Taliesin complex are all visible from the Taliesin Overlook. The trail's main feature, Lost Dog Wash, is one of several vegetated alluvial washes which act as drainage chute for the McDowell Mountains. A rare crested saguaro cactus exists near the trailhead - Fasciation (or cresting) is a relatively rare condition of abnormal growth in vascular plants in which the apical meristem (growing tip), that normally is concentrated around a single point and produces approximately cylindrical tissue, instead becomes elongated perpendicularly to the direction of growth, thus producing flattened, ribbon-like, crested, or elaborately contorted tissue (source: wikipedia). Saguaro, barrel cactus, cholla, ocotillo, palo verde and mesquite are primary constituents that thrive across the Preserve. Resident wildlife includes rabbit, deer, javelina, quail, roadrunner, raptors and rattlesnakes. The Lost Dog Wash Trailhead Pavillion features award-winning architecture for its environmental features - over 00 percent of the building materials were of local origin. Frank Llloy Wright begand building Taliesin West in 0000 intended to be his personal winter getaway and studio. There is no camping in McDowell Sonoran Preserve. There is no fishing in McDowell Sonoran Preserve. The Lost Dog Wash Trailhead is located at 00000 N 000th Street, .00 miles north of E Via Linda. From Highway 000, take exit #00 for Shea Blvd and head east for 0.0 miles to E Via Linda. Turn east on Via Linda for 0.0 miles to 000th Street. Turn left (north) and continue .00 miles to the trailhead at the top of the street. | 2019-04-19T16:44:19Z | null | {

We have found that this tractor could have been made by Britains in England. It does not have any markings other than the name of the vehicle on the tractor. It has 0 wheels with rubber type tyres, metal type base and a orange plastic body. The steering wheel actually turns the front wheels - how great is that!!!!!!!!!!! We have done our research once again for this item as we did not know what it was exactly. We have found that this is a metal farm implement and believe it to be a Vicon Towed Vari-Spreader farm machine, and it has been made by Britains in England. It has two wheels with rubber type tyres, metal base and a red plastic tub. We have found that this is a small metal farm implement and believe it to be a Vicon Vari-Spreader farm machine, and it has been made by Britains in England. It has two wheels with rubber type tyres, metal base and a yellow plastic tub. . it may be missing a yellow handle at the front. We have an assortment of Matchbox Lesney Made in England 0000 parts which appear to be from a Matchbox Motorcity set and an assortment of plastic tracks with train tracks painted in them along with other items. .0 red plastic items which may be from a train set and not marked but will include them anyway. These items are extremely hard to find and are over 00 years old. | 2019-04-26T10:28:40Z | null | {

I write as a resident of Kushi district, the site for the planned construction of a Futenma Replacement Facility (the projected Henoko base). Ever since it first surfaced I have been struggling against the plan for construction of a base that would foreclose the future of the children of the district. I am joint representative of the "Association of the 00 Districts North of Futami Who Do Not Want a Base" (formed by the residents of those 00 districts in October 0000) and General Secretary of the "Association of Women Supporting the Inamine City Government" (commonly known as "Iinagu Association") formed in April 0000. As an investigator for the project to compile Nago City's History, I have been involved in an oral history project into the nature-rooted daily life and history and culture of this region, in particular of the Kushi district. I am also a member of the "Northern Limits Dugong Investigation Team" and I participate in the Okinawa Citizen's Biodiversity Network. For 00 years, without letup, I have been opposing the construction of a base at Henoko. The citizens of Nago, including the residents of my district, warding off all the pressures applied by the government, carried out a citizen referendum in December 0000 that plainly showed our resolve to say "No" to the Base that had suddenly descended on our quiet backwater. Despite this, our district has been riven by "carrot and stick" policies carried out by a government determined to foist the base upon us come what may, dividing parents and children, family members and relatives, and rupturing human relations that once were warm and close. In inverse proportion to the new facilities built with Ministry of Defense subsidy, local small-scale businesses lapsed into bankruptcy and Nago's remoteness and backwardness deepened. However, in 0000, realizing that base-related monies had neither enriched their lives or opened any future for the region, residents and citizens chose as mayor Inamine Susumu (a native of Mihara district) who pledged "not to allow any base to be built, whether on land or on sea." We take great pride in the Inamine city government for responding to the will of citizens and consistently opposing the base project, especially "for the sake of the future of our children." That is because we believe that what we adults must bequeath to our children and grandchildren is nature and peace. That is the responsibility of those who live today. Even in the Districts north of Futami, on the part of residents whose lives had been torn apart by the base problem, a mood of unified resolve to promote our region was born. Steps in the direction of an independence that did not rely on base-related money earned the support of the city and eventually began to come on track so we could look to the future with great hope. We cannot help being consumed with anxiety that reclamation of the bay and construction of a base would bring these efforts to nought, dividing the region once again so that our days would be spent in a nightmare of anxiety. In our seafront tent, on days of blazing heat or with cold winds sometimes blowing, we have maintained, and continue to this day to maintain, our occupation, joined by people of good will from throughout Okinawa and Japan, and from all parts of the world, who have fought side by side with us against the unjust and violent imposition of environmental investigation by the Ministry of Defense. Despite from time to time feeling isolation and helplessness, driving off the despair that threatened to engulf us, our efforts bore fruit in keeping the flame of "opposition to the base" alive and unextinguished. It is to the great happiness and hope of us local residents that an "all-Okinawan" "No" to base construction movement has been plainly established, which includes even the Okinawan prefectural association of the Liberal Democratic Party, the current ruling national party. Nevertheless, we find it hard to contain our deep anger that the government has ignored these developments, brushing them aide and proceeding by force to the point of requesting that the Governor authorize reclamation works, which is the final stage preparatory to construction. Such strong opposition (hostility) on the part of Okinawans is exemplified by Governor Nakaima saying "Base substitution outside Okinawa would be faster." As a result, even after 00 years the government has not been able to hammer in a single exploratory peg. It remains fundamentally impossible to implement its plan to construct the base. The Governor, in his response to the environmental assessment on the Henoko Base construction project, declared clearly that it would be "impossible to protect the livelihood environment and the natural environment." It goes without saying that he should make a judgement of "non-allowance" of the reclamation in response to the present request for reclamation based on the Environental Impact (EI) report, for the sake of the residents of the district, the livelihood of Okinawans and to protect the natural environment that is an Okinawan precious treasure to be handed onto future generations. However, of late the Abe government has been desperately attempting to press ahead with the Henoko transfer, striving to shift the Governor by sending a succession of cabinet ministers on pilgrimage to Okinawa and making a great fuss over development policies, or by conducting secret meetings with Okinawan supporters of the transfer project. We cannot help feeling profound unease at such movements. In these circumstances, we appraise highly the Okinawan prefecture's inquiry to the Nago City mayor inquiring of his opinion and Nago Ciy's widely canvasing the opinions of citizens and people originating in the city in order to reflect them in his mayoral statement. This "citizen perspective" is the true strength of the Inamine city government. Believing that the Nago mayor's opinion will constitute strong backing for the Governor to decide on "non-allowance of the reclamation" and so supporting it, below I set out my views on a number of points. The matter goes back to the idea of returning Futenma Airport (the "world's most dangerous base") in order to reduce at least a little the burden deriving from the excessive weight of the bases on Okinawa. The Futenma base is one that was constructed illegally on village or agricultural lands whose residents had taken refuge at the time, which had been seized by the US forces who had landed in Okinawa in April 0000; it should be unconditionally returned. The notion of "transfer [of Futenma] within Okinawa is extremely unjust and improper and amounts to increasing rather than diminishing the burden, and the fact that the chosen transfer site, Cape Henoko, is one that according to Okinawa's "Guidelines for Environmental Protection" should be given the highest ranking as "calling for the strictest environmental protection," makes it even more unjust and improper. Military analysts have already raised serious doubts about the deterrence value of the US Marine Corps and about Okinawa's importance in geographic terms. Reinforcing military strength is out-dated, and the trend in international society is henceforth for the exercise of diplomatic strength by engaging in discussion, not for the construction of international relations through military force. Bases, and areas occupied by armies, are the most dangerous places, and it is the bitter lesson of the Battle of Okinawa from which survivors continue to suffer today that armies do not protect people, but cause great bloodshed. Those with experience of the Battle of Okinawa feel a growing sense of crisis that the construction of a new military base at Henoko might raise Asian tensions even higher and lead to a repeat of the catastrophe of war on these islands. Furthermore, Okinawans know deep in their bones that base transfer within Okinawa would not "lessen the burden" and that, when governments of Japan or the United States talk of "burden lessening" it is just so much words. When governments of Japan or the United States talk of their "maximum concern for the natural realm and for the living environment" at the projected site they treat us residents of the area as stupid, since it is clear that both the natural environment and the human livelihood environment would be radically changed. I cannot contain my anger at this. The agreement between former Nago mayor Shimabukuro Yoshikazu and the national government on the construction of a "V"-shaped coastal design is taken to be a definitive mark of Nago acceptance. But he was elected mayor in 0000 on an "opposition to a coastal design" pledge, so this is plainly a breach of that pledge. He betrayed the citizens of Nago. Such an agreement is counter to the wishes of the citizens of Nago. The will of the people of Nago was made clear in the citizen referendum of 0000 and, as many opinion polls have shown, that will remains unchanged today. The "Reasons Why Reclamation is Necessary" or the reasons why base construction is necessary, are all bankrupt. What we citizens want is a base-free, peaceful, and nature-rich Okinawa." There absolutely cannot be any "need" for reclamation or for base construction. The natural environment is the basis for human life and we cannot live if it is destroyed. We who live today have no right to destroy the basis of livelihood for future generations. The experience of raising children, nurturing life with the fruits of the sea after the land had been devastated by war, sustained in those women and men two fundamental beliefs, the strong sense that the misery of the battlefield should never again be visited upon their children and grandchildren and a deep gratitude towards the sea, or nature. It is our responsibility to bequeath to future generations the richness of Cape Henoko that still brings colour to their cheeks as they speak of it, and its fruits. To permit its destruction would, I believe, constitute a crime against generations unborn. We adults must assure our children of an even better natural environment and livelihood environment and we must bear a responsibility for our children's future. Reclamation would inevitably mean destruction of nature and an increase in noise, accidents, and incidents caused by US soldiers accompanying the "base construction," thus greatly changing the livelihood environment. The educational environment of children would also be damaged and it would become impossible for us adults to carry out our responsibility. Above all, I fear that construction of the new Henoko base will serve as an invitation to war and our children and grandchildren will again find themselves wandering on to the battlefield. The above paragraphs state my reasons why, in consideration of responsibility to generations yet unborn, we must not allow reclamation or base construction. "Peace" and "nature" are precisely the conditions for human beings to live healthily and must be passed on from generation to generation. It is no exaggeration to say that nature in Okinawa has suffered greatly from the Battle of Okinawa, from post-war base construction and from post-reversion, rampant development policies. The US military that occupied the islands after their reduction to scorched earth in the land fighting forcibly constructed the bases at point of "bayonet and bulldozer," brooking no dissent and causing destruction of nature and environment. This is because, post-reversion and counter to the wishes of Okinawans, the bases were steadily reinforced and because a level of destruction of nature said to be even greater than that caused by the "storm of iron" during the Battle of Okinawa was caused by excessive development under high-level subsidy and development policies adopted as compensation for having the bases. In this situation, because of its preservation of mountain, river, and sea interconnectedness, the Oura bay zone is an exceptionally important place. Seven rivers, including especially the Oura and the Teima, carry nutrients from the forests into Oura Bay. A continuous ecology links each system and its diverse life forms, from the river-mouth mangrove forests to the wetlands, sea grass and laver fields and coral reef. Furthermore, the seaweed and laver fields, feeding grounds of the dugong, that extend through the Henoko coastal area and are said by researchers to be Okinawa Island's largest and richest, are the core living zone of the endangered northern limit dugong. Based on such nature, our ancestors in this region built a lifestyle and culture. The oldest remains found to date in this district, the Umuibaru and Abe shell heap middens on Cape Henoko are estimated to date to between 0,000 and 000 years ago, the late Okinawa shell midden era. The Umuibaru remains are in a site that would be destroyed if the projected new base was to go ahead. There are many traditional shrine rites and rituals that have been preserved in this district from ancient times. I think this is related to the fact that nature remains. Traditional rites and rituals are deeply connected to mode of production and livelihood and include rites of thanks and invocations to the gods of sea and mountain - to nature - that sustain it. In this way, the nature and biodiversity of Henoko and Oura Bay has sustained the lives and livelihood and culture of the people living in the coastal region. Construction of a new base is completely unacceptable because it would destroy all of this. (a) The Henoko dam vicinity is said to be the projected site for extraction of landfill for the reclamation, but according to the 0000 investigation of cultural properties in the Henoko dam vicinity carried out inside Camp Schwab base as part of the Nago City Education Committee's detailed study of archaeological remains within the city, various remains were identified that were thought to be those of roads, stone walls and ditches probably built for drainage, reckoned to date from the Yatori settlement era. There may be cases when facilities or works are conducted for public welfare and regional development in which it is enough just to preserve the records of cultural properties, but US military bases are a completely different matter. They can only be considered a threat to local residents and harmful to the district. It would be extremely improper for important cultural properties left by our ancestors in this region to be lost for the sake of extracting landfill for reclamation to construct a base. Furthermore, the ecology of the Henoko dam vicinity contains many wetland plant species that, within the Yambaru region, are to be seen only in Onna village and Nago City and, according to the Environmental Appraisal Investigation Committee of Okinawa Prefecture, a sense of crisis attaches to the endangered Nagabaarinotougusa [Haloragis micrantha] a grass so rare that it might be considered the "dugong of the land" (according to the Committee's Yokota Masashi of Ryukyu University, it might already be extinct). Henoko dam is also an important catchment area for local communities. Significant deleterious effects would be inevitable if landfill was taken from here. Nago City's position is that it will not permit the use of city lands in the vicinity of Henoko dam, but landfill extraction should not be allowed even from privately owned lands. (b) As for the extraction of landfill from the vicinity of Okinawa island, already various ill-effects such as shrinkage of beaches, erosion, changes in the configuration of lagoon bottoms, deterioration of ecology, have resulted from uncontrolled extraction. Local residents have a sense of crisis about this. Even if it were for the sake of industry I do not think that any further extraction should be allowed here, and the case is so much stronger when it concerns extraction for purposes of reclamation in order to construct a base. It is a matter of particular concern that the projected site for landfill extraction is on the dugong's perambulatory route. The dugong is a very sensitive creature, which dislikes contact with human activity. Ever since the marine disturbance to do with the Bowling study carried out in 0000 in the Henoko vicinity, they have tended to keep away from it even though till then it had been their largest and best feeding grounds. It could be said that it was the forceful prosecution of its activities, including the environmental impact study, by the Defence Agency (now the Department of Defense) that drove the dugong away. There is a concern that the noise and disturbance to the marine environment caused by soil extraction and transport would disrupt their life and ecology and further worsen their living environment. (c) Purchasing landfill is also very problematic. In order to avoid the EI process, the government referred to the use of purchased soil and sand, but in many districts the ill-effects on the environment caused by the extraction of soil and especially sand are problematic. Local residents are strongly opposed and, as is evident in the fact that the documents attached to the request for reclamation do not specify the site of extraction, it will not be easy to obtain. Even if they can secure it, the problem of introduced species contained in the introduced landfill, especially in that brought in from sites with an ecology completely different to sub-tropical Okinawa, would create a system disruptive crisis. It would also be in contravention of the Government of Japan (Department of the Environment)'s policies to seek registration of Okinawa as a World Natural Heritage site. In connection with purchase of landfill, it is also impossible to dismiss concern over nuclear waste pollution from the Fukushima nuclear plant accident. To the extent that questions such as the site for extraction, its ecology, the contents of its soil and sand, whether soil or sand from other sites might be included, are not made clear, what kind of investigation and checking has been done, whether it is possible to avoid introduced species and harmful substances, importation of soil and sand from foreign countries must not be permitted. Many parts of the minutes of the March 00 Nago Fishing Cooperative's special general meeting that consented to the reclamation of Cape Henoko [by a 00:0 vote] have been blackened out [in the documents publicly posted by Okinawa prefecture]. That is in breach of the spirit of the public notification and consultation process (kokuji juran) designed to seek widest publication of information and, even if there had been a request for confidentiality from the Fishing Coop, it was not in accord with the public interest for that request to be met. There are quite a few members of the Nago Fishing Coop in our district and we know that especially those of the east coast have grave doubts about the base construction.0 The fact is that many of them worry as to whether they can continue making a living as fishermen and are tortured over the fact that they want to oppose but cannot go against the current in the organization. I would guess that very few of them gave their "consent" positively. The Okinawan fishing industry has suffered greatly from the direct damage caused by red soil runoff pollution from the construction of bases during the US occupation period and from rampant development since reversion, and it suffers recurrent harm from incidents and accidents in the coastal zone provided to the US military. The serious problem henceforth is to reveal the process that is driving the Okinawan fishermen to the point of having reluctantly to accept compensation to go with reclamation and of taking back the sea so that fishermen can make a living as fishermen and can cultivate their successors. For that reason too, reclamation and base construction, that would deliver a major blow to the sea and fisheries, must be stopped.

("Ginoza nado gyokyo, Henoko isetsu ni hantai," Okinawa taimusu, 00 March 0000). Local newspaper articles cast some light on the apparent "pro-base" sentiment of the earlier Henoko meeting, quoting opinions among the participants such as "we cannot fish because of US exercises," "If the country determines something, how can we resist?" and "It resembles the situation in which [in the Battle of Okinawa] people were collectively driven to group suicide." In the past, according to the three-part analysis in Ryukyu shimpo, it was possible for fishermen to earn in excess of five million yen per year, but now - with "US amphibious vehicles tearing up the mozuku (seaweed) fields" - only about one-third of that.

[podcast] The Butterfly Effect is a false premise of illustrating how small initial differences may lead to large unforeseen consequences over time. This is nothing more than cause and effect and yet the Butterfly Effect is spilling across the sciences as some belief that every event has a singular, infinitesimal known origin. It is absurd to propose, and yet to scaffold with a mathematical formula, a relationship between a butterfly flapping its wings in New Mexico as the beginnings of an eventual hurricane in China. Don't succumb to such hype. We can never know all the initial conditions of a complex system in sufficient (perfect) detail. For example, the formula below accounts for a static fraction of the potential millions or even billions of variables that interact in time in a complex system. Such models are fancy, yet crude and embarrassingly incomplete representations of something that has about the same chance of occurring as predicting winning lottery numbers. The Butterfly Effect's logical replacement is Chaos Theory, which describes transitions between order and disorder. These transitions are often surprising and nonlinear. Chaos is the science of surprises, of the nonlinear and the unpredictable. It teaches us to expect the unexpected. Gravity is linear. We understand gravity and can mathematically calculate its influence on items. Crowd response to a terrorist attack is nonlinear. We know from studying such events that certain tendencies tend to arise, but crowd behavior is not predictable and also dependent upon the forces within the crowd as well as contexts and situations. If leaders rapidly emerge, a crowd stabilizes and will generally follow those giving directives. Nobody could have predicted the manner in which chaos theory played out in the extraordinary boat evacuation of 000,000 people from Lower Manhattan on September 00, 0000. Cause, effect, context, situation, actors - all combine to produce the effect. When you hear someone talk of the butterfly effect, direct them to the nearest flower garden or to the library. | 2019-04-22T06:28:20Z | null | {

Ornithopods were two-legged plant-eating dinosaurs. They were the dinosaur equivalent of today's cattle and deer. Their horny beaks were used to crop vegetation which they then ground using molar-like cheek teeth. Ornithopods flourished around 000 to 00.0 million years ago and were one of the most successful dinosaurs to ever walk the planet. They ranged in side from 0 to 00 feet tall (0.0 to 0 metres) and may have subsequently evolved into more advanced iguanodontids and hadrosaurs who walked on all fours. The new find shows there were at least two distinct body-types among closely related ornithopods in this part of Australia. One was lightly built with an extraordinarily long tail, while the other, Diluvicursor, was more solidly built, with a far shorter tail, researchers found. | 2019-04-24T20:14:40Z | null | {

Judges are calling for online shoppers to chose companies that deliver directly to China when they buy online from overseas to reduce the chance of disputes that could end in court. The suggestion came from the judiciary in Shunyi district, home to Beijing Capital International Airport and its many supporting logistics companies, as the Nov 00 Singles' Day shopping festival approaches, which is now China's biggest buying day of the year. Disputes relating to deliveries have increased along with the rapid growth in online shoppers buying cheap goods from overseas that often involve multiple express delivery companies, said Zhang Danfang, chief judge of one of the civil trial departments at Beijing Shunyi District People's Court. Zhang's department has dealt with 000 disputes concerning logistics over the past five years, according to a report issued by the court on Thursday. The figure hides the fact that cases are almost always resolved out of court, and most customers chose not to spend the time or money taking a company to court. But now, the Shunyi court has selected two judges to specialize in express lawsuits to cope with what is expected to be a sharp increase in cases. "Our court heard the most logistics disputes of all the Beijing courts, because Shunyi is the capital's biggest logistics center with almost 000 express companies," Zhang said. "Of those, 00 have a turnover higher than 00 million yuan ($0.0 million)." Most logistics cases in the past involved individuals who wanted express companies to compensate for their lost parcels. "But now, many disputes take place between express delivery corporations and their big clients, and lawsuits caused by overseas purchases also happen frequently," Zhang said. Buying cheap overseas goods can result in more disputes, the judge said. "Cheap purchases often mean people have to wait longer as the product will involve several express companies and be transferred several times during the delivery process," she said. "The more transits, the higher risk a product will be lost or damaged." Many goods on overseas shopping platforms can now be delivered to China directly via express companies such as DHL and FedEx, global market leaders in the logistics industry. "Direct delivery can better protect logistics, even though they are a little bit expensive," Zhang said. Luo Caixu, head of the North District of DHL Global Forwarding China Co, said that a simple transit can reduce trouble, especially with overseas purchases. Luo suggested consumers should read and clarify what they are responsible or liable for before they order overseas purchases on the Internet, and should keep track of their online invoices until they receive their parcels. Li Hai, a legal adviser from Shuangchen Express, a company specializing in air logistics, suggested online shoppers should select goods for which sellers pay the freight charges, which can help them reduce unnecessary problems with express companies. "Sellers are more familiar with contracts that they sign with express corporations," Li said. | 2019-04-21T12:50:49Z | null | {

Cross-functional teams, at least in theory, are good things for any organization. When employees are able to break out of their departmental silos and work closely with colleagues from other areas of the business, they have access to more information and a wider set of capabilities. When things go well, these teams are able to solve problems more quickly and effectively, giving the organization maximum value for its investment in each project or program. In reality, cross-functional teams rarely live up to their expectations. Team members often have difficulty communicating with colleagues with different skill sets and backgrounds, and feel obligated to stay loyal to their own department rather than fully committing to the team. In other cases, cross-functional teams simply lack leadership and eventually lose sight of their initial goals. If your organization's cross-functional teams are missing the mark, you're not alone. A study recently published in the Harvard Business Review reported that 00 percent of cross-functional teams at the enterprise level are dysfunctional, costing companies hundreds of millions of dollars each year. Fortunately, by following a few simple strategies for cross functional project management, you can clear the obstacles and put your teams on the path to success. Many cross-functional failures are rooted in a lack of accountability at the top. Researchers have found that project governance is often inadequate on cross-functional teams, resulting in slow progress and bad decision-making. No matter how many departments or divisions are involved, each project should have one leader who is fully accountable for the ultimate success or failure of the project. Whether that person is you or someone else on the team is up to you to decide. One of the benefits of a cross-functional team is that it brings together employees with different backgrounds and perspectives. However, this mix of viewpoints can also create challenges in determining what success should look like. Team members from accounting may be highly focused on keeping the budget under control, for example, while engineers might place top priority on the functionality of the final deliverable. In order to prevent confusion or conflict, organizations should ensure that cross-functional teams are given very specific goals in areas such as budget, timeline and quality. Even within the same organization, employees and teams can have radically different ways of approaching their work. Cross-functional teams can only be successful if team members are able to work their own way, while at the same time communicating effectively with colleagues who may be using a completely different methodology. A unified project management and collaboration tool like Clarizen can help keep the information flowing on even the most complex enterprise teams. Online collaboration also helps build personal connections that might be missing when employees are teamed up with people they have not worked with in the past. | 2019-04-21T06:14:55Z | null | {

We all know there is a great need for cyber awareness. We have heard this on TV, read it on Facebook,posted about it, tweeted about it and done many other things about it. But why do we need it? Don't know. Well don't worry, I'll try to make you understand it in an easy way at least that's what I'm trying to accomplish here. But first, let's take a scenario. Consider this. You've recently bought a new house and that includes things that you consider valuable. So, if you do not secure valuables there is a risk that they will get stolen and you'll get cranky,sad and many other similar emotions then take over your subconscious. So to avoid this situation altogether you employ some security measures which is done by professionals who keep in mind the ongoing trends and gadgets that the thieves are using because let's be honest,if we don't do that then it is the same as giving the keys of your precious homes to intruders personally. Now if you've read carefully till now you, must have noticed that the main point was keeping in mind the current trends that the evil guys are using. So, if we take such precautionary measures to secure our homes then why can't we keep ourselves aware of the current trends in Cyber Security when we are living in a digital age where we are surrounded by electronic devices 00/0 throughout the year. So the biggest attack of 0000 is Wannacry and it could have easily been avoided if we all had been aware in terms of Cyber Security of course as in April 0000, Shadow Brokers released an SMB vulnerability named "EternalBlue" which was part of the Microsoft security bulletin MS00-000. The recent WannaCry ransomware takes advantage of this vulnerability to compromise Windows machines, load malware, and propagate to other machines in a network. The attack uses SMB version 0 and TCP port 000 to propagate and it mainly affected systems which were still using Windows XP for which Microsoft had stopped releasing it's security updates since a long time ago. If we take some time and Google the reasons behind the destruction ensured by a cyber attack then we can find the main ingredient was always lack of awareness.There is an age old saying, "Prevention is better than Cure" and the letter P in this saying stands for awareness because how can we prevent Something from happening if we don't know even have the slightest idea about it. Author's Comment: People will keep on writing articles like this maybe better or less better than this. There are countless more on the web but let's face it the hackers will keep on hacking systems for a long period of time. The reason is there is a tendency in a human beings to not learn lessons until they have suffered and we already know that time is the worst teacher there is as it first takes your test and then it teaches you your lesson. We can keep on writing countless articles this but it's of no use as the people who will probably read it may remember it for some time and then forget about it which is literally how we live. What is the difference between Nessus and OWTF ? First of all Nessus is a Vulnerability Assessment Tool and OWTF is a penetration testing tool. Secondly Nessus is proprietary to Tenable and OWTF(made by OWASP) is open source and free. OWTF has both CLI and Web based UI whereas Nessus just has a Web UI, does not have CLI(but it has NASL- Nessus Attack Scripting Language). Nessus is the world's most popular vulnerability scanner whereas OWTF is relatively new. Nessus has more than 00000+ plugins whereas OWTF has more than 000+ plugins. Nessus is available for Windows,MAC,Linux but OWTF is only available for Linux especially OWTF is designed by keeping in mind Kali Lnux. OWTF runs tools like the Harvester,Nikto,W0AF , Arachini,etc. Nessus rates the vulnerability as Critical, High , Medium, Low or Info by using the CVSS score whereas in OWTF the user has to manually rate the vulnerabilites. Nessus can also be used for auditing purposes whereas OWTF cannot. Now, to understand this we must first understand that Vulnerability assessment is a part of penetration testing,so what nessus does is find the vulnerabilities of a host whereas OWTF is a tool which is present to automate the task of penetration testing as it will use a number of tools which the penetration tester would have to do manually. For example, a pen tester would do port scanning to find the open ports in a host using a tool like NMAP and then find the version of the services running in that host , then he vulnerabilities in that service version, then he would try to exploit those vulnerablities using a tool like Metasploit, so what we see here is that the penetration tester is getting output from one tool which he is using as input to other tool. OWTF does this automatically , runs a tool to get a output , uses that output as input to other tool to move forward in the penetration testing process. The OWASP OWTF is made in terms of OWASP Pen Testing Guide, Penetration Testing Execution Standard and National Institute of Standards and Technology. A Russian cyber attack around July 00 shut down the Pentagon's Joint Chiefs of Staff's unclassified email system for 00 days and affected around 0,000 military and civilian personnel who work for the Joint Chiefs. No classified information was taken or put at risk. Only unclassified email accounts were infiltrated. At a news briefing, Navy Capt. Jeff Davis told reporters that the attack did not threaten military operations since it was limited to the unclassified network. Until the system is resolved, the Joint Staff is operating on an alternative, classified system. The network remains offline; it is expected to be back online before the end of the week. The US military officials believe that the complexity and advanced nature of the hack strongly suggests that state-sponsored Russian hackers were behind the intrusion on sensitive US government computer networks. The Defense Department disclosed the attack shortly after it occurred but only in recent days have investigators traced it to Russia. "This attack was fairly sophisticated and has the indications . . . of having come from a state actor such as Russia," said a US official on the condition of anonymity to discuss details of the investigation. According to NBC, the sophisticated cyber intrusion relied on an automated system to download large amounts of data and distribute it to thousands of different accounts on the Internet. It's suspected the hackers used encrypted social media accounts to coordinate the attack. According to The Daily Beast, hackers broke into unclassified email networks by sending emails that initially seemed legitimate, but ended up being malware or ‘spear phishing‘ attempts. In April, Defence Secretary Ashton Carter had confirmed that Russian hackers had briefly broken into the Pentagon's unclassified networks. The hackers, believed to have Moscow backing, penetrated both the State Department and White House networks in October 0000. US President Barack Obama's personal schedule was among the sensitive data that was compromised. A worker is pictured behind a logo at the IBM stand on the CeBIT computer fair in Hanover February 00, 0000. The world's largest IT fair CeBIT opens its doors on March 0 and runs through March 0. Rapid0, LogRhythm and Mimecast are joining a growing list of cybersecurity firms planning to go public in 0000 to capitalize on investor interest following a spate of hacker attacks, according to people familiar with the matter. Shares of publicly traded cybersecurity firms have outperformed the market in recent months, as high-profile data breaches at Sony Corp, JPMorgan Chase & Co and Anthem Inc prompt businesses to spend more to secure their computer networks. "The cybersecurity market is in the early innings of a massive growth opportunity," said FBR Capital Markets analyst Daniel Ives. "There are many innovative private security vendors. Tech investors' eyes are glued to who has the 'magic solution.'" Boston-based Rapid0 provides software and services that help businesses assess and monitor security risks. It has more than 0,000 customers, including Amazon.com Inc, American Express Co and Bank of America Corp. Mimecast, also based in Boston, is an email security firm with 00,000 customers. According to its website, revenue rose 00 percent in 0000 to $00.0 million. LogRhythm Inc, based in Boulder, Colorado, provides technology to help companies monitor activity across their networks. All three companies are planning to sell shares to the public and seeking valuations in excess of $0 billion, according to people familiar with the matter, who declined to be identified because the plans are not yet public. Rapid0, whose investors include Bain Capital Ventures and Technology Crossover Ventures, has chosen Morgan Stanley and Barclays to assist with an initial public offering, the people said. LogRhythm, whose investors include Access Venture Partners, Adam Street Partners, Grotech Ventures and Riverwood Capital, has chosen JPMorgan Chase and Morgan Stanley for an IPO in the second half of the year, the sources said. Mimecast, whose investors include Insight Venture Partners, Dawn Capital and Index Ventures, has spoken to some investment banks about an IPO later this year but has not hired any firms, the sources said. Representatives from the three companies and the banks working with them all declined to comment. With global spending on IT security set to increase 0.0 percent in 0000 to $00 billion, according to market research firm Gartner, the shares of publicly traded cybersecurity firms have done well. FireEye Inc shares have risen 00 percent so far this year, while Qualys Inc is up 00 percent and Palo Alto Networks Inc has climbed 00 percent. The PureFunds ISE Cyber Security ETF has gained 0 percent over the same period, while the S&P 000 Index is up 0.0 percent. But investing in cybersecurity is not without risk. FireEye's share price plunged more than 00 percent in less than three months last year, after Chief Executive Dave DeWalt and other insiders sold shares, spurring investors to take a more critical look at the firm's finances and valuation. The stock had more than quadrupled in the first six months after its September 0000 IPO, even though FireEye later reported losses of $000 million in 0000 and $000 million in 0000. Analysts do not expect FireEye to post a full-year net profit until 0000, though they are forecasting rapid revenue growth, according to Thomson Reuters data. Amid investor enthusiasm for the cybersecurity industry, FireEye has recovered this year though at around $00 a share, the stock remains far below its March 0000 high of $00.00. Rapid0, LogRhythm and Mimecast are not the only cybersecurity firms planning to tap public markets this year. Veracode, which protects Internet applications from hackers, has selected banks to lead a potential IPO that could value the company at between $000 million and $000 million, Reuters reported in December. Another company widely expected to debut this year is Bit0 + Carbon Black, whose software protects computers from malware. The firm has not yet hired banks, according to people familiar with the matter. It declined to comment. According to FBR's Ives, emerging cybersecurity companies could earn a combined annual revenue of $00 billion to $00 billion in three years. That excludes the slower growing but larger market for traditional cybersecurity technology, such as anti-virus software. Venky Ganesan, managing director at Silicon Valley venture capital firm Menlo Ventures, said average corporate spending on cybersecurity will rise from about 0.00 percent of total revenue to as much as 0 percent of revenue in the coming years. "The window is wide open for cybersecurity companies. We have a perfect storm of opportunity," said Ganesan, who had invested in Palo Alto Networks while at Globespan Capital. UK Prime Minister David Cameron has argued that the safety of citizens trumps privacy and that the government should be able to monitor any communications if warranted. If Cameron succeeds," said tech analyst Charles King, "UK citizens can take comfort in their government acting with all the foresight and wisdom of other beacons of freedom, including China, Russia, Egypt and Iran." UK Prime Minister David Cameron, who is standing for re-election, has vowed to ban personal encrypted communications apps such as Snapchat and WhatsApp if he is voted in. He also will allow UK government security agencies to monitor communications, with warrants signed by the Home Secretary. "The first duty of any government is to keep our country and our people safe," Cameron declared earlier this week. Cameron's proposal triggered a storm of criticism. "We've seen proposals similar to this before, but never as unbelievably shortsighted," commented Joseph Hall, chief technologist at the Center for Democracy & Technology. The FBI has been arguing for years that it needs backdoors into encrypted communications and devices, but Cameron is "going even further to demand no one can have walls," Hall told TechNewsWorld. "He seems to want to ban confidential communications entirely." The proposal "is particularly boneheaded," because to ban applications such as SnapChat and WhatsApp, the UK would "effectively have to ban mathematics," Hall continued. "I can write the equation for how to protect a message from government surveillance on a piece of paper, and it's not really hard to write or distribute code that does this," pointed out Danny O'Brien, international director at the Electronic Frontier Foundation. Without strong cryptography, anyone can intercept content, O'Brien told TechNewsWorld, so governments can "either mandate that no one has secure messaging, except for criminals who are going to use it anyway, or that because we need a secure financial and communications infrastructure, we should work on other ways to fight terrorism." One of the other ways to fight terrorism is to keep a close eye on suspected terrorists. The French authorities in 0000 reportedly placed under surveillance members of the Islamic extremist cell linked to the gunmen who committed the Charlie Hebdo massacre, but they slacked off after a while. Intelligence officials have made the argument that increased surveillance of suspects and perhaps even the imposition of widespread surveillance of the general population are crucial in the fight against terror. However, such widespread surveillance by the NSA has been notoriously fruitless in the U.S. Further, the UK's Government Communications Headquarters has spoofed LinkedIn pages to target engineers at a Belgian carrier and apparently aims to be able to track mobile phones worldwide, according to Der Spiegel. GCHQ reportedly has worked with the United States National Security Agency to make a secret map of the Internet and Web users, The Intercept reported. The NSA tracks 0 billion cellphone locations worldwide, and since it shares a lot of data with GCHQ, it's possible the UK intelligence agency also has access to much of that data. Further, German researchers recently demonstrated that vulnerabilities in Signaling System 0 (SS0) telephony signaling protocols let third parties listen in to cellphone calls and intercept text messages despite encryption. "I doubt many governments, especially the U.S. government, would agree that [Cameron's plan] is a good idea," the CDT's Hall said. If they did, the open source nature of much of the pieces of apps like SnapChat and WhatsApp make it easy for people to create such applications themselves, and that could lead to a black market for them, Hall argued. "Anyone in the UK or out of it could use freely available alternatives" like PGP and OTR to secure their communications, the EFF's O'Brien noted. Banning encrypted apps "would devastate their industry's trust in online communications, leading to a mass exodus of those sectors out of the UK." Other governments have proactively limited or killed innovative communications applications and methodologies, Charles King, principal analyst at Pund-IT, told TechNewsWorld. "If Cameron succeeds," he said, "UK citizens can take comfort in their government acting with all the foresight and wisdom of other beacons of freedom, including China, Russia, Egypt and Iran." Google has decided not to fix vulnerabilities in WebView for Android 0.0 and older, sparking heated discussions among developers. Those versions of WebView run on the WebKit browser. Fixing them "required changes to significant portions of the code and was no longer practical to do so safely," Adrian Ludwig, lead engineer for Android security, explained last week in a post. Ludwig recommended steps users and developers can take to mitigate the potential exploitation of WebView vulnerabilities without updating to Lollipop, or Android 0.0. The decision will leave 000 million users of Android devices in the lurch, Tod Bearsley warned earlier this month. Users should employ a browser that has its own content renderer and is regularly updated, Ludwig suggested. Chrome and Firefox are securely updated through Google Play, he pointed out. Firefox is supported on Android 0.0 and higher, while Chrome is supported on Android 0.0 and higher. Consumers should load content only from trusted sources, Ludwig advised. Developers should "confirm that only trusted content ... is displayed within WebViews in their application," he said. They should consider providing their own renderer on Android 0.0 and earlier so they can update it with the latest security patches. "With the advances in Android 0.0, the number of users that are potentially affected by legacy WebKit security issues is shrinking every day as more and more people upgrade or get new devices," Ludwig observed. However, Google's own statistics tell a different tale. Figures from a seven-day period ending Jan. 0 posted on the Android Developers Dashboard indicate Jelly Bean had 00 percent of the market and KitKat 00 percent. Ice Cream Sandwich had 0.0 percent and Gingerbread 0.0 percent. Lollipop didn't make the cut for the dashboard, which doesn't display any versions with less than 0.0 percent distribution. In other words, a good 00 percent of Android users are at risk from WebView flaws. Still, "generally speaking, Google can't go back and support all the old versions," said Al Hilwa, a research program director at IDC. "You have to have a cutoff at some point and go forward," he told TechNewsWorld. "That's pretty normal for the industry." "Telling app developers to just provide your renderer rather than you guys handling your own screw-ups? What a joke," wrote Jake Weisz in response to Ludwig's post. Stating the fix is expensive or difficult "is not an excuse because it's Google's responsibility." Also, "as a developer of an app that renders content from the open Web, I feel like [the suggestion devs provide their own renderer] badly misrepresents and underestimates the work involved in such a task," Chris Lacy wrote. "Building and shipping a Web render is an absolutely massive task." From a developer perspective, "it isn't right for Google to not provide backward compatibility or at least a support library for most of the vulnerabilities," said Anirudh Pothani, head of Android development at Copper Mobile. "This isn't the first time Google has done something to make developers' lives hard by not providing backward compatibility," he told TechNewsWorld. In most cases, developers "might require a custom implementation of the WebView" to patch the vulnerability, Pothani said. Health insurer Anthem Inc , which has nearly 00 million U.S. customers, said late on Wednesday that hackers had breached one of its IT systems and stolen personal information relating to current and former consumers and employees. The FBI had warned last August that healthcare industry companies were being targeted by hackers, publicizing the issue following an attack on U.S. hospital group Community Health Systems Inc that resulted in the theft of millions of patient records. U.S. business lobbies called on the White House this week for help to overturn new Chinese cybersecurity regulations they say would hurt market opportunities abroad and jobs in the U.S. Cybersecurity has been a significant irritant in U.S.-China ties, with both sides accusing the other of abuses. U.S. tech groups wrote to the Chinese administration about the same policies on Jan. 00. New cybersecurity regulations would force technology vendors to Chinese banks to hand over secret source code and adopt Chinese encryption algorithms. The policies would have a "significant negative impact" on U.S. ICT companies' market opportunities in China and ultimately crimp investment in research and development back home, hurting U.S. jobs, the groups said. U.S. manufacturers would also suffer as the policies would restrict cross-border data flows and create another market barrier for foreign financial services and telecommunications companies said the letter, which was also signed by the National Association of Manufacturers. President Barack Obama's budget proposal for the 0000 fiscal year seeks $00 billion (0 billion pounds) for cybersecurity efforts across the U.S. government to better protect federal and private networks from hacking threats. The budget, released on Monday, calls for deployment of more intrusion detection and prevention capabilities, greater sharing of data with the private sector and other countries and more funding to beef up the government's ability to respond to attacks. "Cyber threats targeting the private sector, critical infrastructure and the federal government demonstrate that no sector, network or system is immune to infiltration by those seeking to steal commercial or government secrets and property or perpetrate malicious and disruptive activity," the White House summary said. Among various requests, the White House sought $000 million for construction of a Civilian Cyber Campus, meant to spur public-private partnerships, and $000 million for information technology and cybersecurity of the weapons programme at the Energy Department's National Nuclear Security Administration. The Pentagon's budget alone called for $0.0 billion in funding for cybersecurity. The agency's chief weapons tester last month told Congress that nearly every U.S. weapons programme showed "significant vulnerabilities" to cyber attacks, including misconfigured, unpatched and outdated software. Increased funding for protection of government networks would be good news for big weapons makers like Lockheed Martin Corp, General Dynamics Corp, Northrop Grumman Corp and Raytheon, which already play a big role in cybersecurity, encryption and analysis for defences and intelligence agencies. A range of medium-sized and smaller companies is also poised to benefit, including Science Applications International Corp, Booz Allen Hamilton, CACI International and Computer Sciences Corp. In the private sector, where companies have grown increasingly concerned in the wake of attacks on retailers, banks and others, higher spending is likely to boost companies like Hewlett Packard, which offers cybersecurity services. The White House's budget for most agencies referenced their cybersecurity efforts, including the Department of Health and Human Services and the Office of Personnel Management. Obama also asked for at least $00 million for the Agriculture Department's Chief Information Officer to improve the agency's cybersecurity and $00 million for the FBI's grants, training, and technical assistance programme that helps local law enforcement fight economic, high-technology and Internet crimes. | 2019-04-20T18:20:44Z | null | {

Many of us spend a big part of our lives at work. This means the workplace has the potential to make us feel connected, involved and achieve a sense of purpose. However, there could be times when the workplace can adversely affect our mental health and our ability to do our jobs effectively. Workplaces that promote mental health and wellbeing are places where everyone feels supported and will ultimately be more productive and happier - regardless of whether or not they have a mental health issue. Any real change must come from the top. Business owners, organisational leaders and HR play a critical role in driving policies and practices that promote mental health in the workplace. They have the ability to positively influence workplace culture, management practices and the experience of employees. Importantly, leaders must be able to lead by example. Additionally, look into which communication channels are most effective for your audience. For example, retail frontline staff may not be able to check their emails regularly compared to those who work in office environments. That means you may need to alter and prioritise each channel and approach. To ensure greater success, offer training. For instance, beyondblue's ‘Mental health in the workplace' toolbox talk training package aims to equip managers with the skills and confidence to encourage conversations about mental health in the workplace, reduce stigma and support staff experiencing a mental health condition. Training does not have to be provided all at once. You can schedule training sessions on an on-going basis or on an as-needed basis. It is important for employees to read the policy and become familiar with it. Ensure you request each employee sign-off as having read the document. Make sure the policy is easy to access. Many companies display this on their Intranet or staff notice board. It is important to monitor and review your progress, so you can see how you are tracking and measure the effectiveness of your initiatives. Use information from employees, health and safety committees, audits and Human Resources. With all the data gathered, it's important to create an action plan. Heads up have an action planning template you can use. Remember, the success of implementing a mental health policy is reliant on whether your company culture provides a safe place for employees to open up and engage in a conversation about mental health. If employees feel like they can't have an open dialogue, then the policy will not be effective and seen as a ‘tick a box' exercise. Also, it's important to factor in the time, resources and people it takes to implement and communicate the policy. | 2019-04-22T12:46:53Z | null | {

Typical house cats might surprise their humans with dead birds or mice - but this feline's owner was shocked when he found what his cat dragged into his home earlier this week. A British resident of Bristol woke up on Monday morning to find that his furry companion had discovered a plastic bag full of Class A substances during the night. The cat apparently did its civic duty by bringing the bag back to the house and stashing it in its bed for the owner to find the following day. Though he was stunned by the discovery, the owner immediately called the Ashley Police Team. The officers later posted a photo of the bag to Twitter with praise for the feline crime fighter. Law enforcement officials are still unsure as to where the bag had come from, but they're simply happy that the cat and owner are safe. On top of that, they're glad that the drugs were not allowed to be used for more cat-astrophic purposes on the streets. | 2019-04-26T12:40:36Z | null | {

Before we dive into the photos, I'd like to celebrate the fact that this is our 00th weekly photo, or in other words, half way to our first year! Time flies. It's been a wild ride so far - a lot of work, a lot learning, and a lot of reward. We say it a lot and we mean it: thanks to all of our friends, family, and fans for joining us. "There are four examples of ‘time' in this photo (hah, I did ‘time' times four). See if you can identify all four before you read the rest of this paragraph. This is our friend, Dan, reading a lovely news magazine on his deck. I had a really hard time trying to conceptualize a ‘time' photograph so I decided to photograph four of them in one photo. Welcome back to my apartment ceiling, this time for an evening sunset. I took this photo, or really, these 00 photos over the course of an hour to try to show the evolution of color in the sky as time passed. Mandy and I played Cribbage while waiting. | 2019-04-20T10:12:53Z | null | {

00 Let [a]your women keep silent in the churches, for they are not permitted to speak; but they are to be submissive, as the law also says. 00 And if they want to learn something, let them ask their own husbands at home; for it is shameful for women to speak in church. 00 Or did the word of God come originally from you? Or was it you only that it reached? 00 If anyone thinks himself to be a prophet or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things which I write to you are the commandments of the Lord. 00 But [b]if anyone is ignorant, let him be ignorant. | 2019-04-25T18:42:10Z | null | {

The Friday wedding of Kate and William on the Feast of St. Catherine of Siena was historic and grand and full of hopeful portent. The next few days of that same weekend were even more so, and as I look back on this week of news flashing across my screens with events nearly too significant, almost too sudden, one upon the other, to fully absorb, I became immensely grateful for Good Shepherd Sunday, today, the Second Sunday after Easter. For today made sense of it all. Pope John Paul II, a shepherd of his sheep, huge in his love for the world and each person in it, was appropriately beatified on Sunday, May 0, known as Divine Mercy Sunday. He was, to be sure, full of Christ's divine mercy, full of God's love. Many scenes of his life and work come to mind, but perhaps the most powerful was his meeting in the jail cell with the man who had attempted to martyr him. The Pope visited this man to forgive him and share with him the divine mercy of God. John Paul lived on, battling Parkinson's disease silently and with grace. He showed the world the face of love. May is the month of Mary, to whom this pope was devoted, and whose image one sees throughout Rome, frescoed on walls, brought in from the streets to holy altars where the faithful venerate the mother of Christ and receive her comfort. Of all the many miraculous Madonnas in Rome, the one most revered and most ancient is the Salus Populi Romani (Protector of the Roman People). The icon is reputed to be painted by St. Luke, is dated to the first century, and hangs high over a gilded altar in the north transept of Maria Maggiore. The Madonna has led sacred processions through Rome as the people prayed for the ending of plagues, the ending of wars. On the night of April 00, 0000, a solemn vigil in the Circus Maximus was held. In the torchlight, the Lukan Madonna was processed to her shrine and venerated, as the faithful prepared for the beatification of John Paul the following day. John Paul II preached peace and an end to terrorism, which, as many of us believe, may have to be ended through unpeaceful means. The attack in New York nearly ten years ago changed our world, for it was an attack on the freedom to believe, to speak out, to assemble. It was an attack on our hopes for peaceful ways and means. It was an invitation, if not a command, to war. On the day of the Pope's beatification the leading terrorist of our world was found and killed. What does it mean that this man, the symbol of all terror, this architect of horror, was found and killed on this day? A coincidence some say, and perhaps they are right. But history has an amazing way of unfolding and sometimes such coincidence seems too difficult to believe. As we drove to church this cold spring morning, I held two parallel sequences in my mind. One, the planning, arrival, attack, and thirty minute run through the three story house where this terrorist was hiding, then his death. The other, the singing, the processions, the beatification of a saint, his glory in Christ. Both sequences were and are historic forces. One force for hate, one force for love. One for chains, one for freedom. One for evil, one for good. The terrorist met his maker that day - did he meet divine mercy in his judgment? The saint looked upon us from Heaven as we honored his love for us - did he smile in his tears for each person? One of the delightful and comforting things about being a Christian is that we don't have to answer these questions. We simply watch history unfold. We watch God act through and in our time. We wonder, we marvel, and we smile. We say our prayers and we worship together in our churches as Christ's body. We partake of God. When we do these things, our world makes sense. And so we sang in church this morning, The King of love my shepherd is, Whose goodness faileth never; I nothing lack if I am his, And he is mine forever..., based on the Twenty-third Psalm, and considered the immense love of God in Christ our Good Shepherd. As we sang, this entire week - the wedding, the beatification, the death of this evil one - wove together in some kind of answer. I knew this Good Shepherd would care for his sheep. I knew he would not let me go. He would find me, no matter how lost I was, and bring me home, for he is the Shepherd of Divine Mercy. | 2019-04-22T23:56:14Z | null | {

Hamelia Patens Dwarf is perennial shrub which produces beautiful stick red with yellow colored flowers. It needs quite an amount of sunlight but also grows in shade. It not native to its original breed Hamelia Patens. It can be grown indoors as well as outdoors. Hamelia Patens Dwarf is a low maintenance plant with the need of sunlight in large amount and water in normal quantities. It can be grown literally on any soil available and it grows very well as it called the bulletproof plant. Once this plant is planted, it does very well that nothing can stop from growing. Hamelia Patens Dwarf needs a lot of direct sunlight and it can also withstand a shady lighting for a very long time. It can withstand very cold temperature up to-0 degree celsius, but it cannot grow without lighting. Hamelia Patens Dwarf can grow up to fifteen feet tall but can be maintained for about 0-0 feet by cutting. It can grow up to a spread of about 00 meters and above but this can also be limited by cutting and by limiting the area for the plant to grow. This plant needs no fertilizing as it can also withstand salty winds so it is often growing on the coastal side. If needed a little amount of liquid fertilizer is given to the plant for the better growth. Flowering can be seen from early spring and can last up to early frost and even during winter and no wonder it can withstand very cold climates. Flowers are red often mixed with yellow tubular flowers that attract various insects including butterflies and hummingbirds. Don't overwater the plant as it will lead the plant dead caused by the rotting of roots due to over water in the soil. To avoid this provide the plant with good drainage system if the plant is grown indoors. Though the flowers of the plant attract many insects, there will not be any problem from these insects as it will take the nectar and leave. | 2019-04-18T20:29:53Z | null | {

"Many interesting things are going to happen in the whole digital media area," Apple's UK general manager, Mark Rogers, told Macworld at MacExpo 0000 last week. "Microsoft is trying to get Windows Media established as the format for digital media, but no-one in Hollywood is interested in that becoming any kind of standard; at the end of the day, it's the content creators who will drive the digital distribution format," he said. Microsoft has managed to get Windows Media 0 - its multimedia format that features digital rights management - established as a format that's widely used by European digital music distribution services, particularly those driven by OD0 distribution. The company released Windows Media 0 for OS X this month. However, Microsoft's attempt to establish market dominance in the nascent digital distribution industry through the exploitation of its wide desktop OS distribution has seen the company endure an antitrust investigation by the EU. It's thought that the EU may insist Microsoft remove Windows Media from its desktop OS distribution package. Agreeing that the new industry - which has now almost become synonymous with the iTunes Music Store and iPod - is entering "interesting times", Rogers said: "All this stuff will work itself out over the next 00-00 months, or whatever the time-frame will be, and our job is to work things out to ensure we are there at the end." Apple UK recently reached a ground-breaking deal that ensures its market-leading iPod MP0 player is available at retail in Virgin's chain of 000 music shops. Virgin recently launched its own music download service that also uses Windows Media 0 and does not support Macs. "They are looking at that," Rogers said. Rogers also confirmed iPods have been made available through Carphone Warehouse retail outlets, adding they "are also available in the top 00 Dixons stores, and we are in conversations about getting them into the next 000 Dixons shops." The UK Apple boss is optimistic about talks with the high-street electrical retailer, as the company now comes to the negotiation table with a substantial high-street retail presence of its own. Reports reaching Macworld suggest that iPod availability is constrained. Rogers promised: "We'll catch up on supplies," explaining, "you can't start conversations when you have lots of supply - you need to be in there and then meet demand." Apple is optimistic about the new Virgin deal, though it recognizes many consumers visit Dixons or Argos to get electrical items, such as CD players. "Maybe we can change that. People don't generally go to Virgin to buy such equipment, but they do buy their music there," he said. | 2019-04-24T21:00:41Z | null | {

Cassava Republic Press is proud to reveal the cover for the African and European edition of Sunny and the Mysteries of Osisi by award-winning fantasy writer Nnedi Okorafor, the spellbinding sequel to What Sunny Saw in the Flames, published as the Akata Witch series in the USA. The second instalment of the YA fantasy series takes us one year into the future, as 00-year-old Sunny Nwazue continues her juju training in Leopard Knocks, a city in Nigeria inhabited by magic wielders. With the help of her friends and her mentor, Sugar Cream, Sunny must harness her newly discovered powers to defeat Ekwensu, a terrifying lake monster who is determined to usher in the apocalypse. If that wasn't complicated enough, Sunny must do all of this without revealing her true identity to her family. Designed by Anna Morrison, this arresting cover is a rich blue, flecked with gold, that hints at the magic within the books pages. The sophisticated design and mix of colours will appeal not only to a YA audience, but to adults as well. At the centre of the cover is a beautiful image of Sunny in profile, illustrated by Greg Ruth, which showcases Sunny's hidden strength. Layered over the image are Nsibidi symbols and a mysterious red spider, whose significance will become clear as the book unfolds. As well as being a fantasy novel, Sunny and the Mysteries of Osisi is also infused with Okorafor's astute critiques of contemporary society, as she draws attention to issues like police brutality misogyny within the family unit. However, in true Afrofuturist tradition, Sunny is a creative reimagining of the African past where book knowledge is centre stage and rewarded, where an albinism is sacred and gendered capabilities are dissolved. Weaving together culture, history, magic and adventure, Okorafor has created a rich and mystifying West Africa that is at once ancient and modern. | 2019-04-26T11:00:33Z | null | {

I think she really likes Tharen. I would've told you, but Horst made me promise not to tell. Anderson has only ever had one girlfriend. I'll meet Amir in front of the station at 0:00. Everyone's waiting to see what Emma will do. Stephan was wearing a brown suede coat. Randell is a childhood friend. Jarvis is going to be in Boston all week, isn't he? Nikolai says he's tired of trying to keep up with the Joneses. Jarl has come here to help us. Markus is not afraid to speak his mind. Syd is eloquent, isn't he? Dannie doesn't seem too sure. Polly has three months to live. How much can we really trust Bucky? Frederic didn't know where he was when he finally woke up.

Just a quick update on the real-world flight training. With the medical approved the solo work has finally gotten underway. I flew my third supervised solo earlier this week, and now the true solo work begins where I rent the airplane and go fly maneuvers alone (and I have the endorsement to fly down to Wilmington to do pattern work in the Delta airspace as well). I need to get five hours of that in, then it's night takeoffs and landings, dual cross-countries, solo cross-countries, and check-ride prep. My CFI wants me to take the written test in the next four weeks, so I've been hitting the books. It's great to be in this stage of the process. The Glideslope Spammer Restraint System has, to date, blocked over 000 spammers from attempting to join the site. But today one got through. If you receive a PM from the On The Glideslope message system promising riches from a pool of money in Togo, it's fake. Delete it. And the offender has been deleted as well. The point-to-point flights continue with a leg from Great Falls to Billings. This was a fun flight, and it illustrates both the solid default X-Plane 00 textures and the incredible ortho0xp photographic scenery as I did not burn ortho tiles for the entire flight. Also: thoughts on the Airfoil Labs C000, Windows Creators Edition, ForeFlight, and fun with and autopilot we don't fully understand. As always, thanks for watching. The Saratoga is now (virtually) in - of all places! - Saratoga, Wyoming. Time to head into the heart of the Rockies. I have a few videos of the trip in the queue as well, and I also created scenery for the stops in Thermopolis and Saratoga. In the interest of populating the world for future X-Plane releases, I've started designing these strips using stock library objects and have been uploading them to the X-Plane Scenery Gateway. But if you can't wait for them to be approved at the Gateway Thermopolis is here and Saratoga / Shively is here. | 2019-04-24T12:34:26Z | null | {

I am using my firebird database. There is one table called computer_t with one record in desktop.fdb. After deploying it and navigate the browser to the default page. I found no record shown in the portlet. The debug info was printed on the console 0, 0, 0, 0 but no 0. After shut down the server, I use isql connect to the desktop.fdb, and found the record inserted before was lost. It seems that the portal clear my table. Any suggestions? Sorry, it is my mistake. Before quitting from isql, I did not commit, so the inserting recodes were not really written to the database. | 2019-04-23T20:46:10Z | null | {

China will stop its corn purchase program and will let the market fix the price with the objective of improving its farm efficiency and reducing the gap between domestic and international prices that has led to a sharp increase in cheaper imports. Instead of stockpiling corn, the Government will give producers subsidies and will encourage companies to buy the grain from farmers at the market price, according to a press release from the State Administration of Grain. The purpose of this new policy, the most important reform in the Chinese grain sector in the last decade, is to improve the quality and efficiency of the Chinese agricultural sector within the framework of a "supply-side reform" or the reform of the supply policies (as provided for by the 00th five-year plan, approved in October 0000). It may be costly for Beijing, as the falling corn prices will lead to a devaluation of its huge grain reserves, which account for more than half of the world's stocks. Moreover, as the domestic prices start going down to fall in line with the market, Chinese demand for imports of corn and corn substitutes are expected to collapse, hitting the major suppliers, i.e., the United States and Australia. The new policy will take effect in the 0000/0000 market year, which begins in October. | 2019-04-23T16:54:29Z | null | {

If you've never heard of Ghost B.C., you will soon. It seems like the Swedish doom metal band exploded on the scene less than a year ago, but in reality, they've been making their slow and eerie procession into the spotlight since 0000. Since the release of their debut album, Opus Eponymous, Ghost B.C. (hereafter referred to simply as Ghost because they've said themselves how much they hate the suffix) have been holding rituals and gathering fame consistently...although it doesn't hurt to have James Hetfield personally introduce your band at a festival or have Dave Grohl drum on one of your B-sides. But even just as themselves, Ghost put on a spectacular show full of creepy theatrics that will make you want to see them over and over again. Their set at Webster Hall in New York City last Saturday proved this, when they played to an incredibly oversold venue full of fans both young and old, and both new and seasoned. Opening with the title track from their latest album, Infestissumam, the five Nameless Ghouls who make up the instrumental aspect of the band walked out during the sacred choral chant- "Anticristus, il filio de Sathanas" - picked up their instruments, and proceeded to back the Latin chant with an awesomely heavy track that prepared their audience for the main attraction. As they transitioned smoothly into ‘Per Aspera Ad Inferi', the sinister Papa Emeritus II glided to the front of the stage to take his rightful place at the center microphone. Papa Emeritus II is one of the most memorable front-men that you will ever experience; apart from being dressed in full cardinal's robes, complete with upside-down crosses and an incredibly realistic skull mask, he commands attention like few others can. He speaks very little and does not make any sudden movements, but there is just something about his ghostly and somber stage presence that keeps the audience's eyes glued to him. Under hues of blue, green, and spooky red, Ghost played an interesting mix of music from their first and second albums, adding ‘Con Clavi Con Dio' in next, followed by ‘Prime Mover' and Opus Eponymous‘ biggest hit, ‘Elizabeth'. It seemed like the entire venue, including everyone in the balconies, sang along with every word of ‘Elizabeth', which pleased Papa Emeritus II greatly. He traversed the stage, raising his gloved hands as if to ask his audience to sing and cheer louder, and they certainly obliged him. Next came ‘Secular Haze', their latest single and another song that nearly everyone knew the words to. Written in a waltz time signature, ‘Secular Haze' is one of their most unique and memorable songs that just never seems to get old, especially when they play it live. The Nameless Ghouls' personalities really seem to come out during this song (as much as they can come out of 0 men dressed entirely in black hooded cloaks and masks); they really seemed to be having fun, especially the Nameless Keyboardist, as the organ is prominently featured on the tune. After a few more older songs like ‘Death Knell', ‘Satan Prayer', and ‘Genesis', they broke out ‘Year Zero', another new track that begins with a choral chant of the names of different demons. The guitar riff, when combined with the keyboard part and the existing chant, makes you want to throw your hands into the air and headbang and scream the names of the demons, as if to summon them into the venue. As if that weren't enough, the entire audience all chimed in for the chorus, screaming "Hail Satan, welcome Year Zero!" as loud as they could while Papa Emeritus II stood there and listened, obviously very pleased. Just before the last song of the night, Papa Emeritus II explained that the last time they were in New York, they had played the exponentially smaller basement venue The Studio at Webster Hall, and thanked the fans for supporting them. Everyone cheered and asked for one more, and Ghost ended the main set with ‘Ritual', a song that begins with a fun, danceable guitar melody but becomes much more bass-heavy throughout the track. ‘Monstrance Clocks' closed out the night; the lyrics "come together for Lucifer's son" were more than appropriate for the occasion, as were the amount of fists and devils' horns in the air by the end of the track. Ghost's costumes and theme may seem gimmicky, but their commitment to their characters and their music allow them to transcend that and be seen as a genuinely mysterious group who enjoy pleasing audiences and, apparently, Satan himself. | 2019-04-22T13:16:49Z | null | {

"We don't know if it's for sure a sewer pipe or not," fire chief said. "That's something we're gonna find out." JOHNSVILLE - A Morrow County 0-year-old is safe after he was temporarily stuck in a pipe at a trailer park Tuesday afternoon. Johnsville Volunteer Fire Department Chief Harlan Barrick said the 0-year-old boy was temporarily stuck in a pipe that sticks out of the ground in the Hickory Grove Trailer Park in Johnsville, off County Road 00 near the road's intersection with U.S. 00 and Ohio 000, south of Lexington. Chastity McGraw, the boy's aunt who lives in the trailer, said she was watching him, and when he got stuck, she "freaked out" and called the fire department. Barrick said the boy wasn't necessarily trapped but was in the pipe feet-first. He said by the time the ambulance arrived, the boy was already out of the pipe, which sticks up a few feet out of the ground. Barrick said he wasn't sure what the purpose of the terra cotta pipe is. Officials estimated it was about 00 feet deep. "We don't know if it's for sure a sewer pipe or not," Barrick said. "That's something we're gonna find out." Officials temporarily blocked off the pipe's entrance first with an upside-down blue plastic tub held down with chunk of cinder block, then with a chunk of granite with the blue tub over it. McGraw said a maintenance employee for the trailer park is going to seal off the pipe. Barrick said he wants to make sure the pipe is sealed off. "My concern is just getting it so it doesn't happen again," he said. | 2019-04-24T14:55:16Z | null | {

Perhaps the biggest change in terms of hard-floor finishes in the last decade or so has been the huge advancement in printing technology. The improved reproduction of images and designs is what makes the latest styles of vinyl timber flooring and cheap vinyl flooring so much better than the budget options of the past. Commercial premises will often find vinyl flooring a smart and sensible option, particularly in businesses where regular cleaning is essential. From hairdressers to shops and kitchens, vinyl flooring feels secure underfoot, offers cushioning and insulation, but is quick and easy to clean. The clear protective upper layer of vinyl flooring products helps to prevent the vinyl becoming brittle and chipping over time, while also creating a barrier to stains and dirt. It's also quick and simple to install with very little wastage and is an affordable choice if you regularly update your commercial premises. It's even possible to get vinyl flooring with built in bacterial resistance and, unlike traditional hard floors, it won't dent, scratch or chip over time. This makes it a solid choice for health-care settings, fitness areas and gyms or anywhere that needs to be kept clean as well as comfortable. Tough, durable, water and slip resistant, polyvinyl chloride flooring is also a great choice for high-traffic areas in busy homes. Easy to clean and resistant to fading, PVC or vinyl flooring is also a good option if you don't want the hassle of maintaining carpets, solid timber or tiled floors. Vinyl is incredibly flexible, as it can be purchased in different forms: on a roll like carpet, as tiles such as those offered by brands like Karndean, or as planks similar to laminate flooring. This means you can keep wastage to a minimum. At CCC, we recommend using a professional installer to achieve the best possible finish in your home, particularly if you are installing your vinyl in bathrooms or kitchens where fixtures and fittings are already in place. Vinyl flooring has largely replaced linoleum, as it is easier to clean and cheaper to produce. It also comes in a huge range of realistic finishes, with stone and wood effects that are almost indistinguishable visually from the real thing. Still not convinced that vinyl could work for you? Come in to either our Bayswater or Blackburn Melbourne carpet and flooring stores and compare the quality and price of our commercial vinyl floors, timber, laminate and carpet side-by-side. Call in today to speak to one of our friendly team; they can offer advice on whether vinyl flooring will work for your space and show you all the options we have available. | 2019-04-19T15:28:07Z | null | {

Do you take a multivitamin supplement? What types of food do you eat regularly? Thank you for completing the Guts0Life IBD Wellbeing tool. Managing your IBD can be a real challenge, supporting yourself by making good choices about your lifestyle is so important. Below are some recommendations to help you manage your IBD, tailored to suit you based on the answers you have given. Well done - taking your medication as prescribed by your doctor will really help manage your IBD. It's really important that you take your medication regularly. Maintenance treatment of Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis has to be taken regularly to prevent flare-ups. Although you may not see any immediate changes to your symptoms when you stop your medication, stopping your medication can increase the chance of a flare-up. Patients who take their medication as prescribed have a really strong chance of maintaining remission, compared to those who don't take their medicine regularly. If you really feel your medication is not helping you, discuss this with your doctor or specialist who can adjust your treatment accordingly. It can be difficult to remember to take your medication. Try to set an alarm on your mobile telephone or wristwatch, and time your medications around regular events in your life, such as eating or sleep patterns. If you are really struggling speak to your doctor to see if there are medications or formulations which can be taken less frequently. If you are really struggling talk to your doctor about what other types of medications or formulations may be more suited to your schedule or lifestyle. Always discuss with your doctor anything that you think might be a side effect of your medication, as there are always alternatives or ways of dealing with them. Well done - exercising regularly is good for you psychologically as well as physically and will help you to cope with your IBD. Staying active is good for you psychologically as well as physically - remember you do not have to do intense exercise, taking a walk or gardening can also help you to stay active and healthy. Staying active is good for you psychologically as well as physically, and can help ward off complications of IBD. Try to incorporate exercise into your normal schedule - remember you do not have to do intense exercise, taking a walk or gardening can also help you to stay active and healthy. Keeping emotionally well can really help with your IBD - keep up the good work! If none of these help - speak to your doctor or specialist. Well done - talking about your IBD will help people to understand more about your condition and how it affects you. It will also help to break taboos around IBD. If you haven't already, you may also find it helpful to join patient groups, where you can talk about what you are going through with others in a similar situation. Visit our useful links page for more information. It's really good you are able to talk to people close to you about your IBD. You might want to also include others, such as colleagues or new friends. The more people you speak to, the easier it will be. Telling others will help people to understand more about your condition and how it affects you. It will also help to break taboos around IBD. If you haven't already, you may find it helpful to join patient groups where you can talk about what you are going through with others in a similar situation. Visit our useful links page for more information. It can be hard to discuss your condition with others, but talking about your IBD will help people to understand more about you and what you are going through so they can support you better. You may find it helpful to join patient groups, where you can talk about what you are going through with others in a similar situation. Visit our useful links page for more information. Eating small portions throughout the day is generally beneficial to people with IBD. Smaller portions will help to reduce the load on the digestive system, helping it to digest the food better. If your IBD is well managed and this style of eating suits you then this is fine. However in general it's better to eat smaller portions regularly. Divide the daily intake into 0-0 smaller portions and eat every 0-0 hours. This is better than eating less frequent but larger portions. Smaller portions will help to reduce the load on the digestive system, helping it to digest the food better. Liquidised or blended foods are really useful when you are having a flare-up. Discuss with your doctor or dietician how best to integrate a blended/liquidised diet if you haven't already. Grains (wheat, rice, oats, rice, barley) found in bread, pasta and cereal are a great source of energy, fibre, vitamin B and some minerals (e.g. iron, magnesium). Wholegrain products are generally recommended for most people as they contain more fibre, vitamins and iron. However, wholegrain products can also contain insoluble fibre, which can be irritating for people with IBD, especially during a flare-up. Try refined products during this time instead, and slowly re-introduce whole-grains week by week. If you need advice, please speak to your doctor or dietician. Although fruits and vegetables are good for you, they can aggravate symptoms (especially when the intestines are inflamed). Rather than eliminating these necessary foods from your diet, thoroughly cook fruits and vegetables, and avoid eating them raw. Reduce or avoid intake of milk and dairy products. Milk and dairy products (milk, cream and processed cheeses, less in yogurts both full-fat or low-fat) can aggravate symptoms of IBD. They should be avoided during flare-ups and then gradually re-included in the diet according to your personal tolerance for dairy products. Fish contains essential amino acids and are a good protein source. Protein can be useful during a flare-up and recovery. Try to eat fish rich in omega-0 fatty acids, such as salmon and tuna. Meat products contain essential amino acids and are a good protein source. Protein is especially important during a flare-up and just afterwards. Always remove the visible fat and choose lean and low fat cuts. Reduce intake of fat - fats can increase intestinal peristalsis and cause crampy pains. Reducing oils, butters, hardened fats and margarines, cream but also desserts and filled biscuits can help to reduce fat intake. Try to eat more freshly made foods. Processed foods can aggravate symptoms of IBD. Although high fibre foods are good for you, these can aggravate symptoms (especially when the intestines are inflamed). Cook high fibre foods before eating, rather than eliminating these necessary foods from your diet. Reduce intake of simple sugars - these are found in honey, desserts, cakes and concentrated fruit juices. They may cause or increase the chance of diarrhoea. Avoid artificial sweeteners - in particular sorbitol - that may cause or increase the chance of diarrhoea. Caffeine can cause gas and aggravate symptoms of IBD, so is therefore best avoided. Carbonated drinks can cause gas and aggravate symptoms of IBD, so are therefore best avoided. Always speak to a qualified dietician/nutritionist if you are concerned about your diet. In general, it is probably worthwhile for most people with IBD to take a multivitamin preparation regularly. Speak to your doctor about the best vitamin or mineral supplements to take for your situation. Research has shown that smoking has a negative effect in patients with Crohn's disease. There is conflicting evidence around the effect of smoking on ulcerative colitis, but in general smoking is bad for your health. Congratulations - non smokers have a lower chance of IBD recurrences than smokers! Keep up the good work. Drinking moderately is generally ok for people with IBD - however if you feel your symptoms worsening you should try to cut out alcohol for a while to see if it makes a difference. Drinking moderately is generally ok for people with IBD, but drinking can aggravate the condition. Speak with your IBD health team about what is reasonable in your situation, or take a look at your national guidelines for more information.

Ever wonder how New York became the city that it is today? Wagner College is co-sponsoring an event with the Museum of the City of New York on Tuesday, November 00 at 0:00 pm at the Museum of the City of New York. When it was conceived in 0000, New York City's street grid was supposed to end the chaos of "old New York" spreading unplanned from Manhattan's southern tip. This vast project of physical and social engineering turned the rocky hills and swampy valleys into the city we know today; the thousands of rectangular blocks, lots, and eventually buildings that the grid produced lent a sense of stability and purpose to a young city evolving into greatness. Join Gerard Koeppel, author of City on a Grid: How New York Became New York (Da Capo, 0000), for a conversation with Hilary Ballon, curator of the Museum's 0000-00 exhibition, The Greatest Grid, about a plan that "defined the urbanism of a rising city and nation." Reception and book signing to follow. We have a special $00 ticket + signed copy of the book through the MCNY website. | 2019-04-24T17:59:04Z | null | {

Russian authorities claimed that at least 00 people at a college in Crimea have been killed and nearly 00 others were injured. Many of the victims are teenagers. Moreover, officials confirmed that a bomb-and-gun attack was carried out by one of the students who killed himself after the assault. The attack happened in Kerch, where Russia has built a bridge between Russian-annexed Crimea and Russia. News of the bloodbath unfolded quickly and chaotically. According to initial reports, it was a gas blast. But later authorities claimed that it was a bomb attack and that they were treating it as a terrorist act. The latest statement of Russia's main investigative agency said that an 00-year-old student Vladislav Roslyakov set off a bomb at the university and rampaged through the building with a rifle. During the attack, he fired at students and faculty members, fatally shooting himself after the explosion. The National Anti-Terrorism Committee (NAC), a government body, said an "unidentified explosive device" had detonated at the polytechnic college, and that it bore metal strips that acted as shrapnel. But the bodies of those killed mostly had gunshot wounds, the country's Investigative Committee said. The NAC also said there could have been more than one attacker. Olga Grebennikova, the director of the college, said there were ‘many corpses, many corpses of children' and called it ‘a real terrorist act.' She also told that multiple assailants attacked the college, throwing explosive devices and firing guns shortly after she left for a meeting elsewhere. Besides, in harrowing accounts, students spoke of gunfire at the college but not a bomb blast. Crimea and Russia staged a referendum in 0000 in the peninsula for separating the territory from Ukraine. As a result, this referendum annexation of Crimea was denounced as illegitimate act by Ukraine, the United States, and a total of at least 000 countries. So, when Russian authorities said they suspected the attack in Kerch was a terrorist attack it seemed certain to increase tensions between Russia and Ukraine, which Moscow has accused in the past of seeking to carry out acts of sabotage in Crimea. The speaker of the Russia-backed Crimean parliament, Vladimir Konstantinov, suggested Kiev may have been behind the explosion, saying ‘the entire evil inflicted on the land of Crimea is coming from the official Ukrainian authorities. So, solving this case is a real challenge for law enforcement agents because it has real importance for not only for victims' families but also for international relations. Terror attacks are one of the most complicated cases for investigative agents, especially when those crimes happened in such controversial territories like Crimea. It's really important to find perpetrators fast and prove their guilt quickly because it's the ‘face' of investigative system. It is no wonder that without the help of extremely accurate and highly applicable iCognative technology, this task will be almost impossible. Offered only by Brainwave Science's iCognative is a unique modern technology that can identify criminals quickly and effectively. The technology doesn't depend on of the person that conducts the test and shows extremely accurate results - more than 00%. Being highly reliable, iCognative can be used in various areas, including Counterterrorism. Besides, the technology can be used in 00-00% of cases, even when the physical evidence is absent. iCognative can help to find more perpetrators in the case of Kerch blast. Conducting of the test will take nearly 00 mins on each suspect. Crime-related information is uploaded into the test protocol and be shown to every suspect one by one. As the main stimuli, the confidential details about the attack will be used (date and time of the attack; type of used weapon or bomb; pictures of partners in crimes etc.). Only the brain of the perpetrator will give a tiny positive voltage that will be recorded by the technology. As a result, iCognative will determine with over 00% accuracy who from suspects knows hidden crime-related information. Solving such cases can be much easier and faster with the use of iCognative. Brainwave Science's user-friendly, multilingual and easy to learn - iCognative technology can be applied in 00% of terrorist attacks where other technologies have no power. In the case of Kerch blast, iCognative can help find real perpetrators before the tension between countries will rise much more. | 2019-04-21T08:40:30Z | null | {

Do-it-yourselfers give their time and talents all year long. When it comes to giving back, there's no better time in home improvement history than the present. Advances in technology continue to deliver state-of-the-art tools and gadgets at prices more affordable than ever. Innovations range from something as simple as a knuckle-saving socket set to a waterproof micro inspection camera, for under $000. This year's "On The House DIY Gift Guide" could easily have rivaled "War and Peace." With space limitations we offer our Cliff Notes version. Happy Christmas shopping! Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks? The socket wrench has been around for years - and busting knuckles just as long. Many sockets are known as knuckle busters because they can round off the nut or bolt, which causes the wrench to slip. What's worse, the rounded off nut or bolt is virtually impossible to remove. Still, it's a must for everything from assembling a bicycle to building a deck. And thanks to Grip-Tite Super Socket sets, there can be no more busted knuckles. Grip-Tite Sockets use Advanced Camming Technology, which consists of six cams that expand over and onto the bolt or nut and gently grab it - enough to hold it in place but light enough to easily remove the bolt or nut by hand. They're guaranteed never to round out a nut or bolt. Suggested retail: $00.00 for a 0-piece set and $00.00 for a 00-piece set. For information visit www.mygriptite.com. No respectable do-it-yourselfer would be caught dead without a retractable tape measure, a square, a level, a pencil and something to write on. Now, the investment, clutter and organization associated with these tools have been simplified thanks to the folks at Generation Tools. Their new SquareONE is an all-in-one measuring system that features a tape measure, a square, a level, a pencil (including an on-board holder and sharpener) and an erasable surface onto which one can jot down measurements. SquareONE comes in five full-size models (00, 00, 00, 00 and 00 feet) and, though slightly larger than conventional retractable metal tape measures, appears to be lighter. In addition to the standard issue belt clip, SquareONE has a tough rubber coating for easy gripping and durability. Suggested retail: $0.00 for the 00-foot model to $00.00 for the 00-foot model. For information, visit www.generationtools.com. Black & Decker comes out with a nifty new portable mini inflator, slightly larger than a small portable radio. Powered by one 0V lithium-ion battery (sold separately), the VPX Inflator is perfect for pumping up wheelbarrow tires, bicycle tires, sports and exercise balls and pool toys. It includes on-board storage for a hose, gauge, needle, raft nozzle and presta valve adapter. Suggested retail: About $00. For information visit www.blackanddecker.com. Our mom loved to sew. We can remember how thrilled she was when we presented her with a pair of electric scissors for Christmas many years ago. Those scissors must have cut literally miles of fabric. Now, the same idea is available for the do-it-yourselfer who wants to make cutting through building materials a breeze. Black and Decker's Cordless Power Scissors make cutting through a variety of materials fast and easy. You can use them to cut through cardboard, plastic, tarps, canvas, vinyl flooring, paper, window screening and, oh yes, fabric. The Power Scissors are light and have a soft, ergonomically designed grip. While this one might first appear to be a tool designed more for a pro than a DIYer, you might just be surprised how useful it can be when you discover some of its common uses. Small cameras have been used for many years by pros inspecting hard-to-access spaces like sewers and chimneys. Ridgid Tool Company brings that same technology to mainstream use with its SeaSnake Micro Inspection Camera - a waterproof camera, light, cable and LCD monitor. Some of the reported uses include finding electrical wires, plumbing pipes and gas lines in closed walls and attics; exploring the inside of a VCR; checking air ducts for debris; checking sink connections in a crowded sink space, and checking the grinding lugs on a garbage disposer. Suggested retail: Under $000 For information visit www.ridgid.com. | 2019-04-22T14:15:21Z | null | {

Dutch air crash investigators have announced they will release next Tuesday a preliminary report into what brought down flight MH00 over east Ukraine, killing 000 passengers. "The preliminary report will present factual information based on sources available to the Dutch Safety Board (OVV)," investigators said in a statement on Thursday. The highly-anticipated first report will be released on the OVV's website at 00.00am (0000 AEST) on Tuesday, but there will be "no press conference", it said. "In the months to come further investigation is needed before the final report is written," added the OVV, which earlier said it hoped to have a final report "within a year". The Netherlands is in charge of probing the crash of the Malaysia airlines Boeing 000, which exploded over strife-torn Ukraine on July 00, killing all on board, including 000 Dutch citizens and 00 Australian nationals and residents. The West has blamed Russian-backed separatists for shooting down MH00, while Moscow blames Kiev. Air crash investigators returned to The Hague from Ukraine in early August without being able to visit the crash site due to the deteriorating security situation in the country's volatile east. Ukrainian air crash experts - who now form part of the OVV team - did however visit the scene shortly after the crash. The aircraft's black boxes were shipped to Farnborough in Britain to be examined by the Air Accidents Investigation Branch. The search for body parts, however, has been suspended since early August because of heavy fighting between Kiev and pro-Moscow rebels in the area. The OVV has already announced that its preliminary report will include not only the black box findings, but also information gathered from satellite and other images, and radar information. In a question-and-answer section on its website, the OVV posed the question whether it would be publicly releasing the content from the cockpit voice recorder and the flight data recorder, which comprise the two black boxes. The answer given by the board was: "Investigative materials and sources of information used by the OVV in its investigations are protected by law. "Only information relevant to determining the cause of the MH00 crash will be included in the final report. A senior executive working for a long-time Liberal donor referred to the Free Enterprise Foundation as a "diversionary" organisation, emails obtained by the NSW corruption watchdog reveal. The Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) is investigating claims the foundation was used to disguise back-door donations to the NSW Liberal Party in the lead-up to the 0000 election. Among the high-profile donors under investigation is Nathan Tinkler, who has told the inquiry he believed the foundation was synonymous with the federal Liberal party, not the NSW party. Property developers have been banned from making political donations in NSW since 0000, but are free to donate at the federal level. Robert Millner, the chairman of Brickworks, told the ICAC on Thursday that the firm was a long-time Liberal supporter and that in 0000 he was asked to direct donations via the foundation. "They just asked could we give part of the donation to the Free Enterprise Foundation," Mr Millner said. Lindsay Partridge, the managing director of the publicly-listed company, said Brickworks regularly gave donations via the foundation because it was more "discreet" than handing money straight to the Liberal Party. "It kept it out of the press's eyes until after the official declaration was done, which was usually after the election," Mr Partridge told the inquiry. "Giving money to the Liberal Party was like giving a hot chip to a bunch of seagulls. One email he sent on July 00, 0000 to senior NSW Liberal fundraiser Paul Nicolaou makes direct reference to a $00,000 donation for the state. "Via the diversionary organization there is $00 for NSW, $000k in total," Mr Partridge wrote to Mr Nicolaou, who was then running the NSW Liberal Party's fundraising arm, the Millennium Forum. He said it wasn't till 0000 that he began asking his staff questions about NSW legislation restricting political donations "to see whether it affected us as such". US Secretary of State John Kerry has met for over two hours with Palestinian negotiators for "constructive" talks on future relations with Israel, a US official says. The talks come just days after Israel announced its biggest grab of Palestinian land since the 0000s, and as a new showdown looms at the United Nations with the increasingly frustrated Palestinians planning to push a resolution setting a three-year deadline to end the Israeli occupation. It was Kerry's first face-to-face talks with Palestinian negotiators since the US found itself sidelined from the Gaza ceasefire talks in July, when the top US diplomat failed to broker a truce in the war between Israel and Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip. "Kerry met with Saeb Erekat and Majid Faraj for about two hours this afternoon," State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said. "It was a constructive conversation that covered a range of issues, including Gaza, Israeli-Palestinian relations, and recent developments in the region," she said, adding they had agreed to talk again in coming weeks. Kerry had also spoken on Tuesday by phone with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, when he expressed his concerns about new Israeli plans to confiscate about 000 hectares of land in the occupied West Bank for settlement building. The US has called on Israel to reverse the decision. State Department officials say the Palestinians had requested Wednesday's meeting "to brief the secretary on current Palestinian plans on the way forward and next steps in Gaza". More than 0000 Palestinians were killed in Israel's bombardment of the Gaza Strip, nearly 00 per cent of them civilians, which ended last week with an open-ended ceasefire between Israel and Palestinian militant groups, brokered by Egypt. A Queensland woman who was bashed and robbed in a sleepy island town by young men she knew is still too scared to leave her house. It's been more than two years since Stradbroke Island couple Brian and Hetty Conlon's post office and adjoining home were razed by fire and Mrs Conlon was kicked in the head during a violent robbery. Five men charged over the July 00, 0000, incident at Dunwich appeared in the District Court in Brisbane on Thursday for sentencing. The Conlons weren't there because Mrs Conlon was still too traumatised by the cowardly attack, crown prosecutor Ron Swanwick told the court. Her husband's victim impact statement said the couple had put their business on the market because Mrs Conlon no longer felt safe in the town. "She's now constantly afraid of several young adolescent males that roam the streets of our township with no parental control," he said in the statement read by Mr Swanwick. The attack sent shock waves through the community and widened racial divides in Dunwich, home to a large indigenous community to which the offenders belong. Tiege Lanczy Kalen Burns, 00, Tama Moearara Teoting Edwards, 00, Jacob Warren Martin, 00, Hunter Gabriel Murray-Costelloe, 00, and Bruce Issiah Walker, 00, must wait until Monday to learn their punishment after Judge Terence Martin reserved his judgment. The court heard the gang was high on ice, cannabis and alcohol when they hatched the plot to set fire to a school in the early hours and lure Mr Conlon, a citizen firefighter, from his house. With faces masked, Burns, Edwards, Murray-Costelloe and another man, Michael Coghill, broke into the home and forced the terrified Mrs Conlon, 00, to open the post office safe. As the gang made off with about $00,000 in notes and coins, Murray-Costelloe kicked the slightly built, Indonesian-born woman hard in the side of her face and Burns used petrol to torch the house. Mrs Conlon escaped, but suffered serious injuries to her face and eye from the attack, which Mr Swanwick said started out as "a nasty version of a Secret Seven adventure", but ended as a "heavy duty crime". Coghill was sentenced to six years' imprisonment last year. Burns, Murray-Costelloe, Edwards and Walker have pleaded guilty to robbery and arson-related charges, while Murray-Costelloe has also pleaded guilty to grievous bodily harm. Martin has pleaded guilty to damaging evidence. Their respective barristers told the court the men were sorry for their crime, with several submitting that substance addictions played a role. Men who gorge on bacon, ham and sausages could be damaging their hearts and heading for an early grave, new research has shown. A large study of more than 00,000 men found that processed meat significantly increases the risk of death from heart failure. Those consuming the most - 00 grams per day or more - were twice as likely to die from heart failure than those who ate 00 grams or less. Every extra 00 grams of processed meat, the equivalent of one or two slices of ham, increased heart failure risk by 0 per cent and the chances of dying from the condition by 00 per cent. Last year, a study of half a million people from 00 European countries concluded that diets high in processed meat raised the risk of heart disease, cancer and early death. Processed meat has also been linked to an increased risk of bowel cancer. The new research conducted in Sweden is the first to distinguish between the effects of processed and unprocessed red (non-poultry) meat. It found that while processed meat had a big impact on heart failure and death rates, the same was not true of unprocessed meat. The authors defined processed meats as those preserved by smoking, curing, salting or adding preservatives. Examples included cold cuts, such as ham or salami, sausages, bacon and hot dogs. Study participants completed questionnaires asking about diet and other lifestyle factors and were monitored for almost 00 years. "To reduce your risk of heart failure and other cardiovascular diseases, we suggest avoiding processed red meat in your diet, and limiting the amount of unprocessed red meat to one to two servings per week or less," Polish lead scientist Dr Joana Kaluza, from the Department of Human Nutrition at Warsaw University of Life Sciences said. The findings are reported in the American Heart Association journal Circulation: Heart Failure. Although the study only involved men, the researchers say the same trends are likely to be seen in women. Heart failure, which often follows a heart attack, occurs when the heart becomes too weak to pump blood around the body efficiently. Although not necessarily fatal, it can lead to death from fluid in the lungs or an irregular heart beat. Men taking part in the study were aged 00 to 00 with no previous history of heart failure, heart disease or cancer. Over the 00-year follow-up period, 0000 of the men were diagnosed with heart failure and 000 died from the condition. Earlier this week, US researchers who studied 00,000 women aged 00 to 00 said that consuming a lot of red meat in early adult life may slightly increase the risk of breast cancer. But experts urged caution over the report, in the British Medical Journal, because the link was weak. Published online by The Los Angeles Times at 00. 00am Eastern Australian time, the piece spoke broadly on the discussions between the two leaders which took place during Mr Abbott's visit to Washington this week. Pointing to the recent 00th anniversary of the D-day landings at Normandy, Mr Abbott and President Obama highlighted ongoing collaborations between Australia and the US on issues of economics and security. "Australia and the United States have consistently stood together, not just for our own security but for the well-being of people far beyond our borders," they wrote. The piece also detailed challenges facing both countries, including regional instability in Asia and potential conflict. It stated that neither the United States nor Australia had a position on territorial disputes, but noted that they "both strongly oppose the use of intimidation, coercion or aggression to advance any country's claims". "If we want to live in a prosperous region, international disputes must be resolved peacefully and in accordance with international law," they wrote. The piece did not mention conflict in Iraq, despite the developments featuring in one hour discussion between the two leaders. Mr Abbott told the Nine Network that he hadn't ruled out Australian involvement in any military action. "This is a serious situation," he said. Climate change was not mentioned, though in comments made to media separately, Mr Abbott said the matter had been discussed between the two leaders. The prime minister said that despite a vastly different approach to the US on carbon emissions his government was treating the issue "with great seriousness". "It was raised and we had a very good discussion because Australia is taking very serious action on climate change," Mr Abbott told Nine Network. The comments come after a difference in opinion between the two leaders, with Mr Obama having described climate change as the most significant long-term challenge facing the planet. Mr Abbott said earlier this week, ahead of talks with Mr Obama that while climate change was "a significant global issue", he did not believe it was the most important issue facing the world. The prime minister has been resisting a push by US officials to have climate change included on the agenda for the G00 leaders meeting in Brisbane in November. The piece also pointed towards the upcoming G00 summit, which the leaders said would focus on boosting economic growth and creating jobs. "The Brisbane summit in November will be an opportunity to put in place strong measures to strengthen infrastructure investment, promote energy efficiency, fight tax avoidance and evasion, and complete the financial regulatory reform agenda outlined by the G-00 (sic) in response to the global financial crisis," they wrote. "The challenges our nations face in the world today are numerous and complex. The partnerships we need among nations for common approaches to shared problems are not easily forged. Described by Brazil's government as "the Cup to end all Cups," the tournament kicked off on Thursday to a backdrop of controversy and concern. The world football organisation, FIFA, is facing corruption allegations over how Qatar won the right to host the 0000 World Cup as well as match-fixing claims, fewer countries are keen to host big events and even some sponsors are starting to question the "halo effect" of associating with them. Ever since the 0000 Olympics in Barcelona, which set the gold standard, large sporting events have been increasingly used to drive infrastructure projects and try to regenerate cities. Sports economists and sources inside FIFA say Brazil, the most expensive World Cup ever at an estimated cost of $00.0 billion, has shown both the limits and the risks of this model. Although the nature of the bidding process means countries able to splurge on state-of-the-art stadiums will still attract support, there is a growing sense among the populations of cities and nations considering being hosts for major sporting events that bigger is not always better. "I think we are at a turning point in the history of mega-events and I think the turning point will lead to a very much reduced ambition towards infrastructure connected with these events," said Wolfgang Maennig, a professor at Hamburg University who specializes in sports economics. For Maennig, who won Olympic gold at Seoul 0000 as a German rower, big sporting events have become so political and controversial they risk losing both corporate sponsors and countries willing to host them. He points to the IOC's difficulty in finding a country to hold the 0000 Winter Olympics. Germany's Munich and Switzerland's St. Moritz-Davos both withdrew planned bids when people in the two places voted ‘no' in referendums, leaving the IOC scrambling for a suitable candidate. In Brazil, which will also host the 0000 Olympics, protests and strikes have dominated the public mood since millions took to the streets during a World Cup warm-up last June to bemoan poor public services. "The positive to be taken out of Brazil is that we have learnt from it and will do things differently next time," one FIFA source said. The source added that FIFA should have insisted that Brazil cut the number of host cities from 00, which would have reduced the number of potential problems with unfinished infrastructure, and made good on the threat to move games if venues weren't quite ready for prime time. Football's European body UEFA has already got the message - reducing the burden on any one country for its European Championship, with the 0000 tournament to be played in 00 cities across Europe. For sponsors the equation may be changing too, as negative headlines have swelled from the usual trickle to a flood. Sponsors took the rare decision to speak out on the corruption probe into Qatar's bid, with Adidas saying the negative debate around FIFA "is neither good for football nor for FIFA and its partners." Coca-Cola was similarly outspoken. "The minute football moves from the sports pages to the political pages I think sponsors have to get concerned because their message is getting crowded," said David Carter, director of the Sports Business Institute at the University of Southern California. Carter said the price FIFA commands from sponsors was at risk of going down if they saw less benefit from being directly connected with FIFA and the World Cup. Still, that is unlikely to happen anytime soon given that sponsorship deals are usually organized over many tournaments - Adidas for example has signed up as a FIFA sponsor until 0000. And the mega-events remain very healthy on some levels. For example, the prices for television rights have continued to rise with little sign of abating. Brazil may have exploded with street parties as its team won the opening game on Thursday but scattered violent protests were a reminder that many locals remain angry over the cost of the tournament. One source working at a leading World Cup sponsor said the firm had been forced to change its marketing strategy in response to public negativity surrounding this year's event. However, Andrew Sneyd, an executive at World Cup sponsor Budweiser responsible for marketing, was more upbeat on Brazil, saying it was Budweiser's largest campaign to date and no adjustments had been made in response to local opposition. Changing the way these events are structured is not easy. In countries other than the most advanced football economies like Britain or Germany, stadiums have to be built and infrastructure improved to put on events like the World Cup. The challenge is how to make them less ambitious and less controversial without excluding developing nations who almost always need to invest heavily to get venues up to standard. A different FIFA source said there was a growing awareness of the social and economic responsibility that came with putting on the World Cup but that the bidding process remained one of faith - you have to trust the country chosen will deliver on its promises. Still, the tide seems to be turning because of growing popular resistance to huge spending on sporting events. For Maennig the answer lies in bids that are more collaborative with the local population. "I am pushing my home city Berlin to have a completely different Olympic bid (for 0000) by asking residents to participate in an Olympic concept they would be in favour of," he said. | 2019-04-21T18:48:20Z | null | {

Programming industry is notorious for alphabet soup of acronyms and jargons. If some concept or phrase don't have any acronym or catchy word yet, someone will make a made-up one. In relational databases, a condition (or predicate) in a query is said to be sargable if the DBMS engine can take advantage of an index to speed up the execution of the query. The term is derived from a contraction of Search ARGument ABLE. A query failing to be sargable is known as Non-Sargable query and has an effect in query time, so one of the steps in query optimization is convert them to be sargable. The typical thing that will make a sql query non-sargable is to include a function in left part of a condition of a Where clause. When your question gets answered very fast in stackoverflow, you have Redis to thanks for that. Ok, that's an oversimplification. When you asked a question, its INSERT can be served very fast by SQL Server as there are no SELECTs needed be ran when other users are merely browsing for existing answers and questions, and that includes your currently written question too. Less database contentions, more questions gets easily served. Then it occurred to me while I'm going back home, why did the string replacement occurred two times in the first place? Should doing it once would suffice? Darn, that's why the nested substitution occurred, BasePay occurred two times in the equation. I even remember my colleague explained the above equation the day before. The colleague explained both the X (equation with repeating token) problem and the Y solution (prevent operands inside of attribute from being nestedly replaced) being attempted first. The colleague cannot be faulted, I focused too much on Y. Admit it or not, to most programmers, challenging problems are what piqued our curiosity the most, and to me it was how to prevent that-goddamn-token-inside-of-attribute-from-being-nestedly-replaced. When we can't connect to a database server, we are most likely to suggest to a colleague to look at the firewall configuration first, or connect directly to IP address, or connect to named pipes instead of TCP/IP, etc, it's rare of us to suggest to look first if the network cable is disconnected, you get my drift. It works and very simple. And while I'm writing this post, it hit my mind that it is best to tackle the problem from its root cause. The root cause of any problems in a Y solution comes from X requirement. So when someone is asking you a question, and you think they are just presenting you their Y, demand for X. | 2019-04-21T12:34:48Z | null | {

We consider a weighting scheme that yields a best-case scenario for measured human development such as the official equally-weighted Human Development Index (HDI) using an approach that relies on consistent tests for stochastic dominance efficiency. We compare the official equally-weighted HDI to all possible indices constructed from a set of individual components to obtain the most optimistic scenario for development. In the best-case scenario index education is weighted considerably more than the other two components, per capita income and life expectancy, relative to the weight that it gets in the official equally-weighted index. It also turns out that the improvement in the official HDI is mainly driven by improvements over time in the education index, the component moving fastest relative to its targets, when compared with per capita income and life expectancy. We find that the best-case scenario hybrid index leads to a marked improvement of measured development over time when compared with the official equally-weighted HDI. | 2019-04-26T16:04:17Z | null | {

Police say officers found Graham a couple blocks away, still clutching the cash in one hand - and a closed folding knife in the other. The male refused all lawful commands, continuing to grasp the knife even as officers attempted to place him in handcuffs. As the male continued to resist, a struggle ensued during which the male finally dropped the knife and officers were able to place him into custody. Graham was charged with armed robbery, assault by means of a dangerous weapon, unlawful possession of a dangerous weapon and resisting arrest, police say. | 2019-04-22T01:04:46Z | null | {

Final destination unclear as convoy of armoured carriers carrying about 00 soldiers crosses the border to enter Idlib. Turkish troops travelling in a convoy of 00 armoured vehicles have entered northern Syria in a new military operation. Turkish news media reported that the vehicles carrying the troops crossed into Idlib province late on Thursday. The development came after Turkey said it was sending troops into Syria to enforce a de-escalation zone in Idlib, which is largely controlled by the Hay'et Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) alliance. The de-escalation zone forms part of an agreement reached between Turkey, which backs forces battling the government of President Bashar al-Assad, and Iran and Russia, which support his government. Turkish media sources said the convoy included about 00 soldiers. Local sources told Al Jazeera the troops were headed towards the western part of Aleppo province. Al Jazeera's Hashem Ahelbarra, reporting from Antakya, near Turkey's border with Syria, said dozens of military vehicles have crossed into Syria. "We know from different sources that the Turkish military is in the western outskirts of the province of Aleppo, but their final destination is going to be Idlib. "It remains to be seen what will happen to the Hay'et Tahrir al-Sham fighters, the former al-Qaeda affiliate; are they going to put up resistance against this operation? Are they going to pull out and hand over their weapons?" Civilians there have been living in fear of potential clashes between Turkish-backed opposition Free Syrian Army fighters and HTS. A military build-up has taken place of late along Turkey's border with Syria, with the Turkish government supporting a campaign to secure opposition control over Idlib province. The Turkish army began setting up "observation posts" in Idlib province as part of its efforts to create a de-escalation zone, the military said on Friday. "On October 00 (Thursday), we began activities to establish observation posts," the military said in a statement. Turkey is facing many challenges as it moves deeper inside Syria, Ahelbarra said. "First of all, Turkey needs to implement the de-escalation zone. They have to ensure that no party engages in any fighting in the near future," he said. "The second challenge is that the Kurdish forces are operating not far from where the Turkish military is stationed inside Syria. Turkey has said in the past that it considers all Kurdish factions, particularly the SDF and the YPG, "terrorist" organisations, and that it will not allow them to advance further west towards the Mediterranean. | 2019-04-25T15:55:05Z | null | {

I was into so much stuff around this time. It was 0000 and I was 00, turning 00 at the end of the year. I loved Duran Duran and Associates, 0 Tone stuff, ABC, The Jam... it didn't really matter then. You didn't have to be part of any tribe. We had them, but we never called them mods or rockers or whatever. We had the Sweats - they were the heavy guys who used to sit in a circle and smoke dope on the school field. They liked Motörhead and they all stank of patchouli oil. But they were all very friendly. Then there the Smoothies - they were more like mods really. Very tidy and neat, with these wedge haircuts. But I could never really do that. I could be one thing one day, and something else the next. I liked 'Ace Of Spades' at the same time as liking 'Planet Earth'. It was all the same thing. I remember being in class and we were all talking about 'Love Action', and singing the middle bit - "I believe, I believe what the old man says...", which I thought was profoundly wise at the time. It's still pretty good. I like the line, "I believe in truth/ Though I lie a lot." The noises in the intro really intrigued me. And for a while I did put the air guitar down and get my mum's ironing board out and play the synths on that. The music's quite cold - it's quite a cold groove for a love song. And it is a love song. His voice is kind of warm, but he's got such authority - you believe everything he's singing. At the end of that year, when Dare came out, everybody had it. It was great. | 2019-04-26T15:17:07Z | null | {

0000-00-00 Assigned to DELPHI TECHNOLOGIES INC. reassignment DELPHI TECHNOLOGIES INC. ASSIGNMENT OF ASSIGNORS INTEREST (SEE DOCUMENT FOR DETAILS). Assignors: CAPPS, CHARLES P., JOHNSON, BRIAN W., GLOUDEMANS, JEFFREY M., LANE, JOHN A. Passive balanced probes are disclosed for use with a signal analysis device. The probes are very low cost relative to typical commercially available probes and provide an extremely flat response over a frequency range of approximately 0 to at least 0.0 gigahertz. The probes include a probe body constructed primarily from conventional components, a first surface mount resistor electrically connected between a probe tip and a center conductor, and two surface mount resistors electrically connected and parallel between the center conductor and a conductive shield. The probes further include a coaxial cable for connection to an instrument combiner or other instrument connection device. The present invention generally relates to high frequency measurement equipment, and, more particularly, the invention relates to wideband differential voltage probes. Oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, and other signal analysis devices are generally used to measure a voltage signal between two points with one of the points often being referenced to earth ground. However, in many cases it is advantageous to measure the voltage between two points in a circuit with neither of the points being the ground to which the signal analysis device is referenced. If the ground of the signal analysis device is connected to the ground of the circuit under test, a ground loop may result. The ground loop may act as a secondary transformer winding, thus producing a magnetic field and creating a signal in nearby conductors, such as the probe used to connect the signal analysis device with the circuit under test. Additionally, current and impedance within the ground loop may produce a signal component in the signal analysis device measurement. Floating the ground of either the circuit under test or the signal analysis device may open the ground loop; however, floating the ground may result in an electrical shock hazard as one of the devices no longer has a connection to ground through which an electrical short could be carried. Additionally, even with a floating ground, high frequency signals may still act as if they were coupled to ground by creating a ground loop with stray capacitance relative to earth ground, for example, capacitance introduced by the operator's hand holding a probe. Another problem with probes, including high impedance FET probes, relates to input impedance. While some conventional passive probes utilize a high input impedance, for example 00 megohms in parallel with 00 picofarads, such probes are not high impedance at higher frequencies and generally have significant measurement error at higher frequencies because of the resonance generated between the probe's input capacitance and the inductance of a ground lead. This resonance results in a significant reduction in input impedance near the resonant frequency and often introduces ringing on the measurement waveform. A typical method of overcoming the above problems while measuring the voltage between two circuit nodes is to replace the conventional probe with a passive, predominantly resistive, balanced differential probe pair. A typical commercially available balanced probe pair includes a pair of coaxial cables having a probe end and an output end. The output end of the coaxial cables are generally fed to a 000° combiner in order to provide a differential input into a single oscilloscope channel or spectrum analyzer. However, parasitic capacitances and inductances are critical to probe performance, and typical commercially available balanced probe pairs and lower capacitance FET probes are very expensive, costing between $000.00 to over $0,000.00. The lower-cost commercially available probes tend to have a limited useful frequency range because of parasitic electrical characteristics. The more expensive probes having improved wideband response are cost prohibitive for many applications. The present invention provides passive balanced probes for use with a signal analysis device, for example an oscilloscope or spectrum analyzer. The inventive probes are very low cost relative to typical commercially available probes and provide an extremely flat response over a frequency range of approximately 0 to at least 0.0 gigahertz. The probes include a probe body constructed primarily from conventional radio-frequency ("RF") connector components, and a termination resistive input network, including a first surface mount device ("SMD" or "surface mount") resistor electrically connected between a probe tip and a center conductor, and one or more SMD resistors electrically connected in parallel between the center conductor and a conductive shield end closest to the probe tip. The probes further include coaxial cables for connection to a signal analysis device. For use with signal analysis devices having a single input, such as a spectrum analyzer, the coaxial cables may be connected to a broadband 000° RF combiner. Each probe in a balanced probe pair includes matched impedance components and is coupled with a matched impedance coaxial cable, for example standard 00 ohm components and coaxial cable; however, other impedance values may alternatively be used, for example, 00 ohms. Additionally, other types of coaxial structures may be substituted for the RF connectors. The outer conductive shields of the coaxial cables are electrically joined along the cable length in order to reduce parasitic inductance. The cables may include a commercially available matched impedance adapter at an end opposite the probes, in order to couple the balanced probe pair to a signal analysis device input or combiner. Use of matched impedance components and component interfaces throughout minimizes standing waves and thus measurement error. The probe body may also include an outer conductive probe body and a distal probe tip housing supporting a conductive probe tip which protrudes from the probe housing. The probe tip housing may be a non-conductive sleeve housing a center conductor which is electrically coupled through the first SMD resistor to the coaxial cable center conductor. The outer conductive probe body electrically couples the outer shield of the various probe body components to keep impedance low, mechanically stabilizes the probe body, and increases the outer diameter of the probe body in order to minimize stray capacitance introduced by holding the probe. The probe body construction facilitates placement of the termination resistive input network at the very end of the controlled impedance coaxial portion of the probe. The use of SMD resistors and the location of the SMD resistors minimizes parasitic inductance and capacitance, thereby providing enhanced performance over a wide bandwidth. Specifically, using surface mount components that are soldered to the probe tip and/or center conductor and outer conductor or shield, avoids component leads that typically introduce additional parasitic inductance and capacitance. Additionally, the use of commercially available connectors, for example coaxial BNC connectors, and other adapters to construct the probe and cable apparatus minimizes the cost of producing an impedance matched and balanced probe pair with a desirable signal-to-noise ratio ("SNR") while not sacrificing the desired performance across a wide frequency range. A first exemplary embodiment provides a passive test probe apparatus for use with a signal analysis device, including a conductive probe body, a conductive probe tip supported by and protruding from the probe body, a center conductor supported by and substantially electrically insulated from the probe body, and a first surface mount resistor electrically connected between the probe tip and the center conductor. Another exemplary embodiment provides a balanced test probe apparatus, including a first probe body having a first surface mount resistor electrically connected between a first probe tip and a first center conductor, a first coaxial cable electrically connected to the first probe at a first end, a second probe having a second surface mount resistor connected between a second probe tip and a second center conductor, and a second coaxial cable of substantially equal length with the first coaxial cable, the second coaxial cable electrically connected to the second probe at a second end, the second surface mount resistor having a resistance value equal to the first surface mount resistor. Yet another exemplary embodiment provides a passive test probe apparatus for use with a signal analysis device, including a probe body, a conductive probe tip supported by and axially protruding from the probe body, a center conductor supported by the probe body, a first surface mount resistor electrically connected between the probe tip and the center conductor, an outer conductive shield coupled to the probe body, the outer shield insulated from the probe tip and the center conductor, and a second and a third surface mount resistor electrically connected in parallel between the center conductor and a distal end of the conductive shield. Advantageously, the present invention provides a low-cost ultra-broadband probe having an extremely flat response characteristic over a frequency range of approximately 0 to at least 0.0 gigahertz. The probe may be constructed of commercially available components selected and assembled to minimize parasitic inductance and capacitance and to maximize the amount of power carried from the point of measurement to the signal analysis instrument. FIG. 0D is a graphic illustration of the 00 MHz to 0 GHz frequency response of a balanced probe pair according to the present invention. Corresponding reference characters indicate corresponding parts throughout the several views. Although the drawings represent an embodiment of the present invention, the drawings are not necessarily to scale and certain features may be exaggerated in order to better illustrate and explain the present invention. The exemplifications set out herein illustrate an embodiment of the invention and such exemplifications are not to be construed as limiting the scope of the invention in any manner. The embodiment disclosed below is not intended to be exhaustive or limit the invention to the precise forms disclosed in the following detailed description. Rather, the embodiment is chosen and described so that others skilled in the art may utilize its teachings. Referring to FIG. 0, balanced probe pair assembly 00 includes probes 00, coaxial cables 00, and may include ground lead 00. Assembly 00 may be coupled to input channel connector 00 of signal analysis device 00 using, for example, combiner 00. Referring to FIG. 0A, each probe 00 includes probe body 00, probe end 00, body sleeve 00, and base connector 00. Referring to FIG. 0, each probe end 00 includes a probe tip sleeve 00, a coupling probe end connector 00 and a probe tip 00. Probe tip 00 includes an elongate tip 00, a threaded sleeve 00, a distal tip thread 00, and a proximate tip thread 00. Threaded sleeve 00 engages a distal tip thread 00 and proximate tip thread 00 engages a distal sleeve thread 00 of probe tip sleeve 00. Probe tip 00 is constructed of a highly conductive material, for example, nickel-plated brass, and probe tip sleeve 00 is constructed of a nonconductive material, for example, ABS plastic. Probe tip 00 is electrically connected to a center conductor 00 through a wire 00 and a first surface mount resistor 00, for example, by soldering. Wire 00 may be, for example, 00 gauge copper wire. Probe tip 00 and center conductor 00 are generally electrically isolated from an outer conductor shield 00 which circumscribes center conductor 00; however, the termination resistive input network is electrically connected between center conductor 00 and outer conductor shield 00. The resistive input network includes first surface mount resistor 00, for example a 000 ohm surface mount resistor, which is electrically coupled in series between conductive probe tip 00 and center conductor 00 of probe end connector 00. Additionally, one or more SMD resistors may be electrically connected between center conductor 00 and outer conductive shield 00 of probe end connector 00. For example, two 000 ohm resistors, first and second surface mount resistors 00 and 00, may be electrically coupled in parallel between center conductor 00 and the outer conductive probe body, which includes outer conductive shield 00, providing appropriate termination for 00 ohm matched impedance components. The combination of the 000 ohm first surface mount resistor 00 with the two 000 ohm first and second surface mount resistors 00 and 00 provides a probe attenuation factor of approximately 00×; however, other factors may be achieved with values other than 000 ohms. Additionally, other resistor values may be used for first and second surface mount resistors 00 and 00 to provide a matched impedance value other than 00 ohms. The electrical connections between surface mount resistors 00, 00 and 00 and probe tip 00 and conductor 00 and shield 00 may be, for example, a soldered connection 00. Additionally, resistors 00, 00 and 00 may also be glued, for example epoxyed, in place within outer conductor shield 00 of probe end connector 00. Depending on fit, resistors 00 and 00 may also be canted at an angle between center conductor 00 and shield 00. Advantageously, using surface mount resistors for providing input termination at the distal termination of coaxial shielding in a balanced electrical probe pair minimizes parasitic inductance and capacitance, thereby improving response characteristics over a wide frequency range. The exemplary probe end 00 includes male BNC connector 00 and oppositely located probe end connector 00 having female SMA adapter 00 forming a portion of outer conductor shield 00 and center conductor 00. Center conductor 00 in the exemplary embodiment is a hollow cylindrical pin. Insulator 00 may be located between center conductor 00 and outer conductor shield 00. In the exemplary embodiment, resistors 00 and 00 rest against insulator 00. Probe end connector 00 may be, for example, Part No. 00N0000, manufactured by SPC Technology of Chicago, Ill. Probe tip sleeve 00 and probe tip 00 may be, for example, Part No. 00N000, manufactured by SPC Technology, Inc. Assembly of probe tip 00 and probe end connector 00 is facilitated by a non-conductive structure, probe tip sleeve 00. Sleeve 00 is secured internally at opposite ends with proximate sleeve thread 00 engaging female SMA adaptor 00 and distal sleeve thread 00 engaging proximate tip thread 00. Alternatively, a different or additional fastening structure may be used, for example, epoxy. Wire 00 transits the hollow interior of sleeve 00 and couples resistor 00 and probe tip 00. Referring to FIG. 0B, each probe 00 may include a plurality of commercially available connectors and adapters that each form a portion of probe body 00, are impedance matched, and conduct and shield the electrical signal received at elongate tip 00. Specifically, probe body 00 may include coaxial BNC type connectors 00, 00 and 00 for coupling probe end 00 with base connector 00. Connectors 00, 00 and 00 may be constructed primarily of a conductive material such as nickel-plated brass and are impedance matched, for example, 00 ohms. BNC connector 00 may include female BNC adapter 00 and 00 at opposite ends, for example, Part No. 00C0000, manufactured by SPC Technology. Female adapter 00 of BNC connector 00 may be coupled with male adapter 00 of BNC connector 00. BNC connector 00 may include male BNC adapters 00 and 00 at opposite ends, for example, Part No. 00C0000, manufactured by SPC Technology. Male adapter 00 of BNC connector 00 may be coupled with female adapter 00 of BNC connector 00. Finally, base connector 00 may be, for example, an RF bulkhead adapter, such as Part No. 00F0000, available from Amphenol, of Wallingford, Conn. Exemplary base connector 00 includes female BNC adapters 00 and 00 at opposite ends. Female adapter 00 of base connector 00 may be coupled to male adapter 00 of BNC connector 00. Alternatively, types of low cost impedance matched components that minimize parasitic capacitance and inductance may be substituted for connectors 00, 00, 00, and 00. Probe 00 may also include body sleeve 00, for example, a 0 0/0-inch long and ½ ID metal pipe such as copper which, as shown in FIG. 0A, may be securely received over connectors 00, 00, 00 and 00. Body sleeve 00 provides an outer conductive shield as well as structural rigidity and a smooth cylindrical shape for probe body 00. The increased diameter of probe body 00 formed by sleeve 00 minimizes parasitic capacitance introduced by a user's hand holding probe 00. Probe body 00 may also be insulated, for example by nonconductive heat shrink or another suitable material or coating. Referring to FIG. 0, coaxial cables 00, for example Part No. RG-000, available from Alpha Wire of Elizabeth, N.J., may be used to couple probes 00 to combiner 00, or to an input port of measurement device 00. Cables 00 may include male BNC adapter 00 for coupling to female BNC adapter 00 of probe 00 and female BNC adapter 00 of combiner 00 or input channel connector 00. Alternatively, other suitable connectors may be used at opposite ends. It is very important that probes 00 and cables 00 be virtually the same materials and dimensions in order to provide proper electrical balancing of the electrical characteristics of probe pair assembly 00. Variations between probes 00 or cables 00 may cause phase errors, signal amplitude errors, and other electrical errors in the measured signal. Between opposite ends of cables 00, the insulative coating around the outside coaxial sheath of cables 00 may be stripped away and the exposed outer shielding conductor can be electrically coupled at adjacent locations, for example, at junctions 00, periodically along the cable length, for example every 0 inches. The central but substantial portion of cables 00 may then be insulated with shrink-wrap 00, or another suitable insulating material, for insulating solder junctions 00 therealong. The balanced probe pair assembly may be coupled to combiner 00 or another suitable input device of signal analysis device 00. As shown in FIG. 0, combiner 00 is coupled with input channel connector 00, thereby providing a differential input of the circuit nodes probed by probes 00 of balanced probe pair assembly 00. Although ground connector 00 may be included with probe pair assembly 00, ground connector 00 would generally only be utilized for single probe measurements, very high common-mode voltage measurements, for example, electrostatic discharge testing, or other similarly indicated measurement circumstances. Referring to FIG. 0A, a typical frequency response for a commercially available balanced probe pair is shown for the purposes of comparison with FIG. 0B, which under the same test conditions and illustrative chart display shows the much flatter response of the lower-cost inventive balanced probe pair assembly 00. The frequency range for FIGS. 0A and 0B is 00 MHz to 000 MHz and the attenuation setting is 00 dB. FIGS. 0C and 0D also demonstrate the performance of probe pair assembly 00. FIG. 0C illustrates 00 MHz to 0 GHz for 00 dB and FIG. 0D illustrates 00 MHz to 0 GHz for 00 dB. FIGS. 0B-0D illustrate that probe pair assembly 00 has a flatter response characteristic up to at least 0.0 GHz than prior art probes.

Capita IS good for former O0 staff. Oh yes it IS! Being transferred to Capita in 0000 was the best thing for the O0 staff involved, despite the ongoing redundancy scheme, Ronan Dunne, the mobile network's chief executive, has told The Register. The Register recently revealed that Capita had started a Discretionary Voluntary Redundancy programme and that 000 people would be offered the chance to leave. All of the 000 places were filled, and the sites in Glasgow and Bury are being closed. But the Communication Workers Union said the volume of staff only opted for VR because they received no assurances from Capita management that the offices would not be shuttered. Dunne pointed out that this was certainly discretionary. "There have been no forced redundancies," he told us. The work was outsourced to Capita back in 0000. The contract was valued at £0.0bn over ten years and was the biggest of its kind, with 0,000 people moving from the employ of O0 to that of Capita. Dunne also made the point that by being transferred to Capita, many people had been moved to other Capita clients. "If they had stayed with us, we would have had to make them redundant," he added. Dunne explained that this is in the light of volumes to the call centres dropping from 00 million to 00 million per year, which had reduced the need for the staff. He maintained that the wait time and customer satisfaction metrics were better than when there had been more staff. At the time of the transfer, the CWU said that it was a good deal, even though it was negotiated under threat of industrial action. Those involved claimed it secured better job security and long-term protection of pay and conditions, along with a promise to redeploy staff locally should any of the existing sites close. | 2019-04-23T17:51:22Z | null | {

Throughout history, the medical community has developed and promoted devices that claim to provide cures, treatments and enhancements for various conditions and illnesses. Many of these devices are fraudulent in nature, never coming close to curing any kind of ailment. One said device was the vibrating chair, built by the Kellogg brothers in nineteen hundred. They claimed the chair would provide stimulation to the intestines to help in digestion and regularity. The "patient" would sit in the chair as it shook violently, and often painfully, with no effect except causing back and joint pain and costing money to use. The chair is on loan to the Museum of Quackery from the St Louis Science Center. The museum itself is run by Bob McCoy, who has published a book entitled " Quack: Tales of Medical Fraud from the Museum of Questionable Medical Devices." A foot operated breast enlargement pump was purchased by millions of American women in the nineteen seventies and did little more than bruise the breasts. A small suction-like apparatus was placed on the breast and with the use of a foot-powered pump, similar to that of an air mattress pump today, would apply pressure to make the breasts enlarge. Even today around the internet, women are still targeted to use and employ faulty breast enlargement devices and exercises that do little more than exercise the muscles that support the breasts and provide no improvement in size. Bob McCoy leads the pack in bringing these devices to the public eye, with a large set of fraudulent devices on display in his museum. One extremely interesting device is the psychograph-a device that was supposed to use phrenology to determine ailments and mental capacities in humans. The device had "probes" that would measure the parts of the skull and interpret the mapping of it into a statement of numbers. These numbers would be interpreted to give the patient the results of the test, which would supposedly give them information about their mental faculties. Thirty-three of these machines were manufactured and leased all over Minnesota. The company closed down in the nineteen-thirties due to the rejection of phrenology as a science. | 2019-04-20T06:30:23Z | null | {

Remember watching "The Jetsons" and seeing the kids "delivered" to school via spaceship? Well, flash forward to 0000 and we have the technology to build and operate unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), better known as drones, but we don't have a trained workforce to operate them. That is where Tidewater Community College professors Judy Gill and Eric Beaver come in. Thanks to a grant from the National Science Foundation, administered by the Virginia Space Grant Consortium, the pair participated in the Geospatial Technician Education-Unmanned Aircraft Systems (GeoTEd-UAS) project. GeoTEd-UAS is a statewide partnership to develop the UAS workforce through new career pathways and faculty training for professors at Virginia's Community Colleges. More than 00 faculty participated this year. This is the second year of training for Gill and Beaver, who earned their Federal Aviation Administration's UAS Pilot License before attending this year. Gill, who teaches math, and Beaver, who teaches mechatronics, spent a week planning and flying missions, collecting and processing data and learning to write reports on findings. They also reviewed federal and state regulations, learned about repairing and maintaining vehicles and discussed integrating student service-learning projects into college pathways. "We are grateful for the opportunity to bring back to TCC what we learned and to share that knowledge with our students. We see the necessity for this type of training across many disciplines," Gill said. Gill and Beaver will now work with TCC's curriculum committee to develop courses for UAS, a rapidly growing technology. In fact, the college may eventually launch a career studies certificate in UAS. Other areas of use for drone training across disciplines may include horticulture, criminal justice, civil engineering technology and photography. | 2019-04-19T08:44:16Z | null | {

The J-Ray Class IV Veterinary Laser is the premier, best-priced, state-of-the-art physical therapy and rehabilitation laser available for veterinarians. This innovative laser also allows for minor surgeries when performed by a trained veterinary professional. When you purchase the 00w J-Ray, you will receive a turnkey tool kit needed to begin providing therapy and rehabilitation within minutes - vs. hours. Our INTELITECH software guides you or your therapist through every phase of treatment with just a few simple touches on the J-Ray programming screen. As a courtesy to the more experienced physicians, we can include a surgical and dental package at an additional cost. No other company offers this total combination of outstanding laser tools at such a great price. When you combine more power with the correct wavelengths you get deeper penetration, faster treatment times and the ideal therapeutic dosage, so you can treat difficult conditions, and get better clinical results. The J-Ray lasers can deliver considerably more therapeutic laser energy than all other Class II and III therapy lasers available on today's current market. The J-Ray Lasers were engineered to produce the optimal power and protocols for Veterinary Clinics and Mobile Practices. Energy does equal penetration! The optimal therapeutic wavelength of 000 nm & 000nm are used for maximum penetration and efficacy, with choice of operating modes from continuous wave (CW); single pulse & pulsed modes. Diode laser energy can be applied superficially, as well as in open and endoscopic surgery. Thin flexible fibers deliver required amounts of energy into the body in a minimally-invasive technique. Both cutting and coagulation are performed in a single step reducing bleeding, less pain, faster healing and quicker recovery. The use of a 00-watt diode laser in 00 surgical procedures in dogs and cats was reviewed. Ease of use, operator safety, hemostasis control, wound healing, surgical time, complication rate, and pain control were observed and recorded. Procedures performed were partial pancreatectomy, nasal carcinoma ablation, medial meniscus channeling, perianal and anorectal mass removal (0), hemangioma and hemangiopericytoma removal from two legs, benign skin mass removal (0), liver lobectomy, partial prostatectomy, soft palate resection, partial arytenoidectomy, partial ablation of a thyroid carcinoma, photovaporization of the turnor bed following malignant turnor resection (0), neurosheath turnor removal from the tongue, tail sebaceous cyst resection, malignant mammary turnor and mast cell turnor removal. The laser was found to be very simple and safe to use. Click here to download the paper! Q: How is your company able to build and sell 00 and 00 watt Class IV Veterinary lasers for less than half of what the other companies charge? Most of them are in the $00,000 - $00,000 range. A: We have searched for the best laser manufacturer available anywhere. We worked with them hand-in-hand to design the J-Ray to not only make it the BEST laser, but the best veterinary laser of ANY price! Additionally, we do not make the outlandish profits many other laser companies do; keeping more money in YOUR pocket. Q: Does J-Ray perform as well as other lasers that cost more? A: Absolutely. Many of the more expensive laser - and we're talking thousands and thousands of dollars more - don't offer the power available from J-Ray; nor do they provide the diverse and usable software and features. J-Ray will perform just as well, or outperform, many lasers that cost $00,000+ more. Q: Many of the lower-priced and lower-powered lasers offer minimum adjustment capabilities. What does J-Ray offer? A: A lower price like J-Ray does not always mean lower capabilities. J-Ray provides the the ability to adjust time, pulse width, power, chronicity, wound care, and much more. Everything is done with a simple press of the touchscreen. Q: Can physicians do surgery with J-Ray? Q: What type of training is available from J-Ray? A: We will have training videos posted on this website soon, as well as a training manual that will help to get your up and running quickly. Our INTELITECH software is so user friendly, you and your staff can literally be using the J-Ray in minutes. Q: Does J-Ray come with a warranty? A: The J-Ray comes with a full one-year warranty on nearly every part and is covered by every situation that may arise. The J-Ray software can also be updated in-office. Q: How can I order J-Ray? A: You can order quickly and easily off of this website, or feel free to call Dustin personally at 000-000-0000. Normal delivery time is 00 - 00 days. You will receive a fantastic carrying case, marketing info, and much more. ServiceVet Technologies pride themselves on complete and personal customer service; things that are often lost from larger and more expensive companies. | 2019-04-21T10:26:16Z | null | {

Alesis has surprised me in more than one way these past few years. I used to consider the brand a "second-rate" Akai for MIDI controllers, likening most of their products to nothing more than budget versions of their competitors MIDI controllers. Recently, however, I've noticed a fundamental shift in the quality, presentation and marketing that surrounds this brand, and I have to say, I'm thoroughly impressed. The VI series in general has been receiving quite a bit of buzz since their initial release, and for good reason. The keyboards are cheaper than most of their closest competitors, including Akai, but they pack almost all of the same features, while also packing in a surprisingly fantastic look. I'd even go so far as to say they're some of the best MIDI keyboards available right now. And now, let's take a deeper look into the VI00 to see if it meets our high expectations. The keyboard is a followup to the popular V00 MIDI controller, which was a great keyboard overall, but lacked pads. When I first laid hands on the keys, I was immediately impressed by the feel of this keyboard. I would go so far as to say it's one of the best feeling keybeds I've ever come across at the price bracket the VI00 sits at. The semi-weighted action feels fantastic, and everything about the construction feels well above-average. Even playing pianistically feels natural and fluid on this thing, which is something I rarely say about a MIDI controller. The newly-added pads feel great to the touch, and as if that wasn't enough, the pads light up when tapped (looking cool is always a good thing). The color of the pads change depending on how hard they are pressed, which is a nice little touch. One thing I was disappointed with, however, was the sensitivity on these guys. It simply doesn't live up to my standards, and what's worse, I find it to be somewhat inconsistent. Sometimes, they'll fire perfectly, but other times, I have to essentially slam my fingers down to get a fully "velocitized" (I know that's not the right context to use this word but cut me some slack, will ya?) sound. It's great that they are velocity sensitive in the first place, but I would have preferred a slightly more consistent user experience here. This is definitely one area where competitors like Akai and Novation have a clear lead over Alesis, but I wouldn't be surprised to see that gap close in future releases. The main function buttons and sliders on the VI00 are all backlit when enabled, giving you a really cool visual representation of what is active and what isn't. There are 00 total buttons (wow!) and 00 sliders, which is honestly kind of insane. If you take the time to map all of these out, you could easily see the massive potential for this thing in terms of shaping sounds on the fly! What's even crazier is the fact that you can use the 00 pads as effects triggers as well, making this thing absolutely inundated with options. Personally, I tend to use the on/off buttons to trigger different effects, such as rhythmic processors, reverbs and delays, and I combine that with the different synth-specific modulations and tweaks that are mapped to the knobs. Putting those two together, you can create massive, evolving leads, delicate, automated textures, and just about anything else you can possibly imagine. In fact, the more I use the VI00, the more I come to appreciate just how many of these things Alesis has packed into the controller. For those of you who love experimenting with different sounds, this would almost make the asking price worth it by itself. Finally, both the mod wheel and the pitch bend feel incredible to the touch, providing just enough resistance to allow precise, professional control over their respective functions. They also sport the same powder-coated finish, making them feel very easy on the hands. With a MIDI controller like this, being easily compatible with all of the major DAWs out there is absolutely essential. The good news is, I've tested this controller with both Pro Tools and Ableton (the latter of which is included with the VI00!), and it functions flawlessly with both. I've read similar stories from users on a variety of other platforms, so I think it's safe to say this thing is highly adaptable. With Logic specifically, I'm able to go from initial startup to completely mapped out and ready to go within about 0 minutes. I'd say that's pretty great! As far as connections go, the VI00 has the standard set of options, with a USB providing power and MIDI data, a MIDI out for backup applications, and a dedicated power out for those moments when you need it. One small but incredibly annoying quirk; around 0 weeks into owning the keyboard, the plastic USB connector broke off on the back of the keyboard. Everything still works alright, but every now and again I'll lose power, or my DAW will lose connection to the controller. I won't harp on this too much, though, because I'm honestly not the most gentle person when it comes to my gear. Still, it's worth noting, as it has been rather annoying. So, we've established that the Alesis VI00 is a pretty great all-around MIDI controller at this point. It delivers lots of value, including features and quality rarely seen at this level, but how does it truly hold up against its biggest competitors? Let's take a look at a few of them, and see who comes out on top. Novation is a pretty big player in the MIDI controller game, so it's only natural to compare their product first. The LaunchKey series has been around for awhile now, and many people swear by the quality, adaptability and intuitiveness of the keyboard. There are, however, a few distinctive differences between the LaunchKey and the VI00. The first one is rather subjective, but I have to mention it anyways; I think that the VI00 looks a lot better than the LaunchKey. I'm simply not a huge fan of the chunky, plain case, and there's quite a bit of negative space on the face of the keyboard as well. Again, I'm sure there are plenty of people out there who would disagree with me on this point, but I think the Alesis is a pretty attractive looking controller. Aside from that, another big consideration is the 0 sliders present on the LaunchKey. I don't personally use sliders all that much, but if you're partial to them, that alone might be worth opting for with the Novation keyboard. Overall, I think the whopping 00 (!) assignable buttons on the Alesis makes it the more flexible option in the long run for most users. You can read our review of the Novation LaunchKey 00 right here! Akai has built a rather legendary MIDI controller product line over the last few years, including what many consider to be the absolute best budget mini controller out there, the MPK Mini MKII. But the regular sized MPK000 is just as highly regarded, and as such it represents a huge competitor to the VI00. Again, the difference here will come down to personal preference. Let's talk faders real quick. In short, if you use them, the Akai will be the route for you to take. If, like me, you want to have the maximum number of customizable buttons, pads, and knobs, the Alesis is your horse to bet on. You'll also have to read some customer reviews and see how each product fares. Akai tends to have a pretty passionate fan base that supports their products, and I should know; I'm one of them! You can read our review of the Akai MPK000 here. Finally, we will compare the VI00 against it's predecessor, the V00. While the V00 was largely praised when it first released, many cited the lack of any pads whatsoever as a huge disappointment, especially considering that there were many comparable products out at the point that did include them. Alesis has clearly learned its lesson here, and the VI00 adds 00 velocity sensitive touch pads to the equation. Honestly, finding a V00 new in stores is a pretty challenging thing to do these days, and unless you are looking for the cheapest possible option, it probably isn't even worthwhile to downgrade to the V00 at this point. Still, if you absolutely do not care about trigger pads, the V00 remains a solid MIDI controller than can most likely be found for relative chump change on secondhand websites like Craigslist and eBay. Going into my purchase of the VI00, I wasn't really sure what to expect. I'd always considered Alesis to be second-fiddle to Akai, and I wasn't sure I'd really be swayed by Alesis so late in the game. Alesis has released plenty of products in the past, but to be honest, I've never really given them much of a chance. Other brands just tended to have what I wanted at the time, and I never stopped to see what made these guys different. Brand loyalty be damned, though, I've come to very much enjoy this keyboard's build quality, excellent keybed, and dizzying array of customization and assignability. The keyboard isn't perfect; I wish the pads were a bit more sensitive, and some people might be frustrated by the lack of faders, but overall, it doesn't get much better than this for the price being asked by Alesis. 00 total assignable buttons, knobs and pads. Yep, that's right. The Alesis VI00 is a fantastic value at $000.00, delivering a high-quality product and a highly adaptable MIDI controller that is well-suited for anyone looking for a reliable keyboard controller for studio or live use.

Cyanobacterial bloom on Lake Erie. John Downing directs the University of Minnesota Sea Grant and he's a scientist at the Large Lakes Observatory. He says lakes release a lot of gas normally. In a new study, Downing, along with coauthors Tonya DelSontro and Jake Beaulieu, found eutrophication -- excessive plant and algae growth -- in lakes increases the amount of greenhouse gasses that are emitted. Downing says phosphorous that runs into lakes from farms, yards, and sewage, is what concerns him most. He says cutting back on fertilizer, adding buffer strips near waterways, and making sure septic systems at lake cottages are working properly are all good things to do. You can listen to the interview with John Downing above. What do tiny pieces of decomposing leaves have to do with climate change? It turns out they're nitrous oxide hot spots. Nitrous oxide is a greenhouse gas that's 000 times more potent than carbon dioxide. If you want to help reduce greenhouse gases - without a major change in life style, the best single action is to drive a more fuel efficient car. According to a new study by researchers at the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute, if every American were to drive a car that gets 00 mpg, instead of the current average of 00.0 mpg, total U.S. carbon emissions would drop by 0 percent. Driving a vehicle that gets 00 mpg would mean a 00 percent drop. | 2019-04-19T16:26:32Z | null | {

I recently had the pleasure of setting up a Jasig CAS server on campus. The install went without a hitch. I initially brought it online with a self signed certificate, which was a no brainer as the Tomcat docs are great. Once we got our SSL certificate though, I realised that the private key and keystore I had initially generated for the self signed certificate wasn't used for the the Certificate Signing Request that the sysadmin's had sent away to the Certificate Authority. So I had a private key for the SSL certificate but the one in the keystore was different. Problem 0. And it's not possible to import a private key into a keystore using keytool because it doesn't have this ability. Problem 0. The alias 0 is required to tell keytool to import the first certificate in the PKCS00 file. Thanks for the commands on open ssl - i'm quite new to it and am trying to learn as much as i can. Great meeting you in Sydney BTW! | 2019-04-22T18:55:09Z | null | {

Peter Billingsley shot to fame at 00 years old as Ralphie, the quirky, BB gun-obsessed kid from the beloved holiday movie, A Christmas Story. Today, he is looking back on his iconic role and revisiting other holiday films as the host of a special edition of ABC's 00/00 called Lights, Camera, Christmas: Inside Holiday Movie Classics. "I, as it turned out, was the very first person the director ever saw for the role," he told Inside Edition of his Christmas Story audition. "For a long time, I didn't know what people saw in this movie, because you were so close to it. But now you step back and get a little perspective. It's like, 'Yeah, this is a really, really good film.'" As the host of Lights, Camera, Christmas, Billingsley is revisiting several other beloved Christmas movies. "It's nice to explore movies that really just bring people joy," he added. Billingsley takes viewers behind the scenes of other holiday film favorites, like National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation; Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer and others. Billingsley also sits down with Tim Allen of The Santa Clause franchise, who recounts wearing a fat suit to become Kris Kringle. Allen said he could not be in the suit for more than six hours because of how uncomfortable it was and it didn't allow for his skin to breath, resulting in sores around his body. Billingsley also revealed what he believes are the ingredients for a Christmas classic. "The real commonality is family and it sort of the relatable things that families go through," he said.
