{"text": "Technology? For sure.\nBasics and current research results on mobile communications and other radio services.\nFor surfing online, receiving and sending messages and making phone calls, your cell phone needs good contact to a mobile network. For this purpose, it exchanges signals with a wireless base station nearby. The transmission capacity of mobile communications antennas at base stations normally lies between 10 and 100 watts. Wireless base stations support different radio standards ranging from GSM, UMTS (“3G”) over LTE (“4G”) to 5G. They in turn are connected to other base stations and the central systems of the mobile network via fiberglass cables, copper cables, or radio relay systems.\nHowever, each base station only has a limited capacity and coverage. Increasing numbers of users and a rising volume of transferred data therefore require a denser mobile network – which means a higher number of base stations is needed.\nIn addition to mobile communications, there are many other radio services. The distribution of TV and radio signals, for example, plays a large role. These wireless communications are provided by broadcast stations that transmit in all directions from one location. The higher the tower or mast and the transmission power is, the larger is the covered area. VHF broadcast has a transmission power from 10 watts to 10 kilowatts and the range of a VHF station covers up to 100 km.\nSafety through limit values and safety ranges\nTo protect the population and the employees working on the facilities, there are legally established limit values that ensure the safe use of all wireless services. In practice, safety ranges are inferred from these limit values. It only takes a few meters distance from a stationary transmitting and receiving antenna for people to stay there permanently without worries. The required safety distance always depends on the base station’s transmission power, the used antennas, and the broadcast frequency and amounts to a few meters for the GSM, UMTS, LTE, and 5G mobile communications standards.\nIntensive research is being conducted on the health effects of mobile networks and other wireless services\nThe effects of electromagnetic fields on human beings have been subject of scientific research over the last few decades – in Germany and internationally. The expert committees of the World Health Organization and the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) set recommended limit values and regularly monitor them. To do so, they evaluate the latest research findings on an ongoing basis.\nThe International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICNIRP) has once again confirmed its protection concept for electromagnetic fields, as they occur when using mobile radio technology. According to the ICNIRP, the limit values ensure comprehensive protection of people and the environment.\nThe only proven impact of high-frequency electromagnetic fields on living creatures is a warming effect. If persons are in a high-frequency electromagnetic field, heat is created in their bodies as the strength of the field increases. In other words, in a human body the energy of high-frequency electromagnetic fields is converted into heat. These are also known as the thermal effects of electromagnetic fields.\nThe physical basis of this thermal effect is known and undisputed. The current exposure limits ensure that the electromagnetic fields occurring in mobile communications are so weak that the temperature of human tissue will not be raised until it represents a health risk.\nCurrent research into mobile communications and health focuses on the biological effects of very weak, low-energy electromagnetic fields below the valid exposure limits. The existence of these non-thermal effects and their potential impact on people's health is controversially discussed. Based on the current state of research, various expert committees come to the conclusion that, despite extensive research, there is no reliable evidence for health-relevant non-thermal effects.", "label": "Yes"}

First, you have two phones, one simcard. That simcard only can be put into one phone. … It’s impossible for one simcard to work in two phones at the same time.\nCan I get 2 SIM cards for one number?\nNo, it is not possible to have two sim cards for same mobile number. A sim card has a unique number. And it is different in each sim card. … At the time of porting a mobile network to other network they provide another sim card of same number that may work for some longer time.\nWhat happens if I put a SIM card in a different phone?\nIt contains all your contacts and settings, and it’s linked to your account. You can take the SIM card out, put it into another phone, and if someone calls your number, the new phone will ring. … The SIM card won’t work in other phones, and the phone won’t work with other SIM cards.\nCan I have two iphones with the same phone number?\nUnfortunately, you often cannot have multiple phones with the same number. Many phone companies simply don’t support it. One exception is a product called Verizon Number Share, which lets you receive calls on multiple devices, but it mostly supports wearable devices like smartwatches rather than additional phones.\nHow do I link two phones together?\nGo to the phone settings and switch on its Bluetooth feature from here. Pair the two cell phones. Take one of the phones, and using its Bluetooth application, look for the second phone you have. After turning on the Bluetooth of the two phones, it should automatically display the other on the “Nearby Devices” list.\nCan you spy on someones phone without them knowing?\nNeatspy allows you to spy on someone’s Android device remotely.

{"text": "In the television show Silicon Valley, the lead character Richard explains his dream technology to a friend after being left frustrated with the direction his company is taking. He points out that we carry millions of times more computing power around with us in our pockets than it took to put a man on the moon. What if we could harness all the latent power to build a vast network? Then we could “build a completely decentralized version of our current internet”.\nIs it possible?\nA decentralized internet is a problem that many have been trying to solve since the 1990s, but it hasn’t been possible for many reasons – the technology has fallen short, the hardware hasn’t been powerful enough, and there has been no real incentive for people to participate. With recent technological advances such as microcomputing, wireless chip architecture, and the blockchain we might finally have all the pieces of the puzzle at our disposal. In fact, the puzzle is already being pieced together. One project in particular, Skycoin, has just launched a public testnet with more than 4000 nodes already connected.\nIn the show Silicon Valley the idea was to use cellular phones as the backbone of the decentralized internet, however, the reality is that phones are not a practical solution as their batteries would drain quickly. Skycoin’s solution to this problem is to harness the power of open-source Pi micro computers as network nodes. Clustered together with other networking hardware they form a Skyminer. This device performs many traditional networking functions such as routing, storing and serving internet data, while also acting as a consensus node for the Skycoin cryptocurrency blockchain.\nThe Skyminer is essentially an upgraded and more capable version of the router you currently have in your home, coupled with numerous cores of computing power. On the Skywire network, the Skyminers connect with each other to create a peer-to-peer internet. It establishes peer-to-peer marketplace utilizing excess internet bandwidth, like Airbnb is to homes, but also becomes a powerful tool providing packet forwarding and routing services to take control over the internet itself.\nRight now it doesn’t entirely work like the idea in Silicon Valley as it’s still technically using the current internet for service, as the telecommunication companies own the physical infrastructure and charge you for access. If you run a Skyminer at the moment on the testnet, you will be compensated for providing your unused bandwidth to the Skywire network. However, in the future Skycoin plan to release wireless antennas which can relay signals up to 5 miles with connections able to hop from one signal to another. The end goal is to build a complete web of connected nodes around the globe, completely bypassing the current internet infrastructure. When this becomes reality, the ISPs will no longer be required, and the Silicon Valley vision will finally be fulfilled.\nWould it work?\nIn the show the idea of building a decentralized internet comes across a bit far-fetched, however, in reality it is an entirely feasible idea. In fact, the Skywire testnet is already operational, and several other projects are aiming to do the same thing, so surely it’s only a matter of time. One of the most significant problems will be incentivizing people to become involved, and Skycoin goes a long way in addressing this issue by offering a monetary reward for operating a Skyminer. If you heard that a friend was earning cryptocurrency by providing unused bandwidth to the new internet, wouldn’t you would want to as well?\nSilicon Valley Quotes:\n“What if we use all of those phones to build a massive network.”\n“If we could do it, we could build a completely decentralised version of our current internet.”\n“With no firewalls, no tolls, no government regulation, no spying….Information would be totally free in every sense of the word.”\nThis is a sponsored post.", "label": "Yes"}

INJECTION-LOCKING-BASED FREQUENCY- MODULATED CONTINUOUS WAVE GENERATORS FOR SYNTHETIC APERTURE RADAR APPLICATIONS. ScholarBank@NUS Repository.||Abstract:||In this thesis, two injection-locking–based architectures for FMCW chirp generation are presented to address the limitations on the bandwidth and frequency linearity of conventional chirp generation techniques. In the first approach, a synthetic bandwidth technique to obtain a wideband chirp was proposed by upconverting a narrowband chirp to different adjacent frequency bands. This is achieved by mixing a narrowband direct digital synthesized (DDS) chirp with a fast-switching subharmonic injection-locked oscillator (SHILO). The use of SHILO allows fast-switching at sub-10 ns and provides better phase noise performance than phase-locked loops due to its much wider loop bandwidth. Wide bandwidth of 2 GHz (43%) was achieved in C-band resulting to a high range resolution of 7.5 cm. The second approach proposes the use of an injection-locked oscillator as a frequency multiplier to a low-frequency chirp. The main advantage of the architecture is the faster locking response to a frequency step, compared to phase-locked loops, which minimizes the frequency errors. Measurements show a precise ranging capability with 71 μm (0.02% of the resolution) standard deviation. Indoor tests demonstrate good SAR imaging capabilities for both architectures.||URI:||http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/150205|\n|Appears in Collections:||Ph.D Theses (Open)|\nShow full item record\nFiles in This Item:\n|BalonSD.pdf||14.05 MB||Adobe PDF|\nchecked on Jul 18, 2019\nItems in DSpace are protected by copyright, with all rights reserved, unless otherwise indicated.", "label": "Yes"}

Lynn Entanglement-secured single-qubit quantum secret sharing (PDF) Physical […]\nDepartment Chair and Professor of Physics\nWhen we save an mp3, search our files, or submit an online banking request, the information we care about must be encoded – and often sent around the world – in the state of some physical system. What if that physical system is a single atom, an individual electron spin, or one photon of light? As computers get smaller and faster and communication bandwidth gets more crowded, information technology will eventually run up against the microscopic realm of quantum mechanics, where an object can be in a superposition of two or more states at the same time, and where measurements alter the state of the thing being measured. Though this may sound like a hopeless muddle, many physicists, mathematicians, and computer scientists have discovered that there are reasons to be excited about the advent of quantum information technology. Since 1995, we have known that a full-scale quantum computer would be able to factor large numbers quickly, enabling it to break the current worldwide standard of data encryption. On the other hand, quantum mechanics can come to the rescue with communication technologies where security against eavesdroppers is guaranteed by the laws of physics themselves.\nThe Lynn lab focuses on quantum communication protocols using photon pairs that are quantum mechanically entangled in their polarization states, spatial modes, or both properties at once. We investigate the role of entanglement – a type of correlation that doesn’t exist in classical physics – in providing communication bandwidth and security in protocols including quantum secret sharing. In experimental and theoretical investigations, we explore the advantages and limitations of using simple (linear) optical devices for quantum communication with entangled photons.\nDistinguishability of hyperentangled Bell states by linear evolution and local projective measurement\nNeal C.

{"text": "Animal Thermometer Update\nA provider of electronics assembly and PCB design solutions for various industries had launched an animal thermometer specialized for veterinary use.\nThe existing thermometer was a high-cost option, and lacked the capability to automate and optimize temperature monitoring over the total head of livestock.

In effect, the downloaded copy serves as a mirror of the original site. Web crawler software such as Wget can be used to generate a site mirror.\nOffline mail and news readers\nOffline mail readers are computer programs that allow users to read electronic mail or other messages (for example, those on bulletin board systems) with a minimum of connection time to the server storing the messages. BBS servers accomplished this by packaging up multiple messages into a compressed file, e.g., a QWK packet, for the user to download using, e.g., Xmodem, Ymodem, Zmodem, and then disconnect. The user reads and replies to the messages locally and packages up and uploads any replies or new messages back to the server upon the next connection. Internet mail servers using POP3 or IMAP4 send the messages uncompressed as part of the protocol, and outbound messages using SMTP are also uncompressed. Offline news readers using NNTP are similar, but the messages are organized into news groups.\nMost e-mail protocols, like the common POP3 and IMAP4 used for internet mail, need be on-line only during message transfer; the same applies to the NNTP protocol used by Usenet (Network news). Most end-user mailers, such as Outlook Express and AOL, can be used offline even if they are mainly intended to be used online, but some mailers such as Juno are mainly intended to be used offline.\nOff-line mail readers are generally considered to be those systems that did not originally offer such functionality, notably on bulletin board systems where toll charges and tying up telephone lines were a major concern. Users of large networks such as FidoNet regularly used offline mail readers, and it was also used for UseNet messages on the internet, which is also an online system. The two most common formats for FidoNet BBS's were Blue Wave and QWK. Less well-known examples include Silver Xpress's OPX, XRS, OMEM, SOUP and ZipMail.\n|Golden CommPass (GCP)||Creative Systems Programming Corporation||Paid||OS/2||[b]|\n|Hamster||Mathias Dolidon||Free software||Windows, Linux, OS X, Unix|||\n|HTTrack||HTTrack.com||Free software||Windows, Linux, OS X, Unix|||\n|Leech||Universal Commerce, Issaquah||Shareware||Windows|||\n|MR/2||Knight Writer Software Company||Shareware||OS/2||[c]|\n|MR/2 PM||Knight Writer Software Company||Shareware||OS/2||[c]|\n|Off Line Xpress||Mustang Softwre, Inc.||Paid||DOS||[e]|\n|TapCIS||CompuServe Information Service (CIS)||Shareware||DOS||[b]|\n- Online and offline\n- Cache manifest in HTML5 (deprecated in favor of service workers)\n- Progressive web application\n- Kiwix, Wikipedia offline reader\n- Comparison of software saving Web pages for offline use\n- This includes the user not being connected to a dialup server, not having Internet access and a server on the Internet that is unavailable.\n- Mail reader for Compuserve\n- BBS reader\n- Internet mail and news reader\n- The free test subset of OLX is called Off Line Xpress - Test Drive (OLX-TD)\n- \"Hamster : hoard the web\". github.com. 2018-01-04.

{"text": "Building your proactive home with Molex\nAn interview with Bart van Ettinger, Vice President Connected Devices, Molex\nThe connected home is not a nice to have in today’s world, it’s a must have. From security and surveillance, home automation and smart appliances to home streaming entertainment and energy options, the home of tomorrow is happening—and it’s happening now.\nWhat patterns do you see in the international adoption of smart-home technologies?\nThe adoption of connected-home technologies varies widely throughout the world; both in market penetration and in the ways they are applied. The US and Canada combined represent the largest market so far and it is growing at more than 30 per cent per year. The majority of applications are in security. Homeowners have been buying digital video surveillance systems and sensors to detect fires or water leaks. The Europeans, by contrast, see connected-home products as important for reducing energy costs. They are installing sensors and systems that make smarter use of home heating and lighting. Healthcare applications are also becoming popular among a gradually ageing population.\nIn Asia energy consumption is also a concern. But the market is also being driven by a large, innovative telecom industry, which influences the types of system homeowners install. But as technology improves we will see another pattern emerging: one that will move us on from single-purpose systems that leverage connectivity and cloud intelligence to create homes that truly fit our needs.\nWhat changes do you envisage coming to the smart home?\nWhat people call the smart home today is simply an evolution of the concept of ”home”. Although the concept of the smart home has been in the public mind for a number of years, we’re at the start of a technological revolution built on the devices and systems that support today’s connected home. Over the past few decades, technology has transformed the home into a hub of functionality: a centre for entertainment, work, fitness, relaxation, security and more.\nAt Molex we believe looking at home technology in an evolutionary context provides not just a valuable perspective but one that is essential to understanding the key trends that are driving the development of solutions able to further transform the home. The better we are able to see how things have changed in recent years the better we are able to see where we are going. Some view the idea of the connected home as the future. We see it differently. For Molex, the connected home is simply the current phase in an ongoing evolution of home technology. We are now at a point where the widespread adoption of key technologies enables the next phase in the evolution.\nThe connected home now hosts a widening variety of sensors that can detect movement, temperature, cameras, occupancy and much more. By 2022 five billion sensors will be installed in smart homes globally. That’s according to market research firm ABI Research. But this is not the only component of the growth of the smart home. At Molex, we see the smart home as just one aspect of the fully integrated Internet of Things (IoT). Other sensors outside the homes themselves, such as publicly accessible instruments that provide data on the weather, will also be vital. Each of these devices can collect real-time data and transmit it into the cloud. The value is unlocked when the various pieces of data are combined and analysed. The types of insights and trends the software can find are key to driving the next phase of evolution.\n\"By 2022 five billion sensors will be installed in smart homes globally. That’s according to market research firm ABI Research. But this is not the only component of the growth of the smart home. At Molex, we see the smart home as just one aspect of the fully integrated Internet of Things (IoT).\" Bart van Ettinger, Vice President Connected Devices, Molex\nHow does the combination of home sensors and cloud computing change the smart-home landscape?\nThese technologies will transform our homes from being reactive to our needs to being proactively engaged. Many functions within our home will happen without any interaction needed from its occupants.\nToday, smart-home devices need the conscious control of their users. We have to press a button, make a deliberate gesture or use an app to change settings. Voice-activated technology in smart speaker devices provide another form of interaction but they still need to hear commands that are constructed for them. That will change as devices and cloud services use their understanding of the occupants’ needs to be more responsive.\nThe seeds for the next step in the evolution have already taken root. Smart-home devices now leverage artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, natural language processing and visual recognition technologies. Through these technologies, the home itself is acquiring the ability to sense at multiple levels of understanding. The home is becoming able to “watch,” “listen,” “smell” and “feel”.\nThanks to the combination of local sensors and cloud computing, the home will become a proactive partner in its occupants’ daily existence. It will predict what it is that they need or desire based on what the sensors detect. They will not have to reach for the light; the room will understand that the light should be on as soon as someone enters. Sometimes, the action will take place before the user thinks of what they want to do.\nFor example, the proactive home will monitor traffic conditions and, observing the calendar of one of the occupants – let’s call her Jane – determine that it would be better to wake her a few minutes earlier. This earlier wakeup call can compensate for the delay in travel. Instead of simply activating a loud alarm clock, the software will take input from her smart mattress, which tracks her sleep pattern through her movements at night. So the proactive home understands a gentle wakeup cycle is the best approach.\nWhen Jane gets up, the shower will already be at her preferred temperature and her favourite coffee will already be brewing. The home will recognise different people living in it and adjust each system to their preferences.\nExamples like this show how a proactive home can collaborate in a complicated analysis of data drawn from the cloud and local sensors and make a series of intelligent decisions that save time, reduce energy and cut stress.\n|Enabled Home||Connected Home||Proactive Home|\n|Digitisation, miniaturisation||Ubiquitous sensors and inter-\nconnects, cloud-based services\n|AI/machine learning, natural\nlanguage and visual recognition\n|Enhanced discrete product\nIncreased density of\n|Data mining and learning\n|Safety, comfort, convenience||Security, health and wellness,\nconvenience, cost savings, sus-\ntainability, social engagement\n|Communication:||One-way, person-to-device||Two-way, person-to-device,\nThree-phase evolution of home technology\nWhat are the major challenges for companies that participate in the smart-home market? Does it force companies to change how they interact with the ecosystem?\nThere are many challenges facing participants in the smart-home market. A major issue is that of interoperability. Today, we have a number of technology ecosystems in place and they are competing rather than cooperating. The result for the homeowner is that if devices are not designed to work with a particular platform, making them function as desired can be difficult and inconvenient. This is beginning to change. We now have gateway devices emerging that can intelligently translate between protocols and so resolve some of the connectivity and interoperability issues. As that evolution takes place, the next challenge is in moving towards the seamless integration that can unlock value creation.\nCritical to the success of the connected home and then the proactive home is the ability to translate harvested data into product value. The many overlapping data streams in a home will be powerful predictors for all kinds of behaviour.\nNo single company can overcome these challenges. Instead, collaboration along the entire home technology value chain will be required. Rather than thinking in terms of individual devices, suppliers for the proactive home will partner for complete solutions that combine devices, applications, services and processes to harvest and use all the available data intelligently.\nAnother major challenge is power consumption. But we see progress being made on the energy efficiency of battery-powered sensors. Cooperation among vendors to improve interoperability will help optimise energy usage among the many sensors and devices installed around the home.\nCompanies can play many roles within a complex ecosystem such as the one required for the proactive home. Some will focus on a segment within the ecosystem only, such as just the device layer or just the gateway. But there are also an increasing number of companies who are looking at the entire ecosystem. Molex has been traditionally an interconnect company and as a result has mostly focused on the device layer. But as we transform into a solutions provider, we are increasingly looking at developing gateways and even ecosystems. We are continuously acquiring new technologies that span sensor, software and firmware developments. And we are collaborating with our own sister companies within Koch Industries to explore bringing advanced technologies to the home.\nWhat solutions does Molex bring to the smart-home market?\nMolex has a number of solutions in place and we are working on many more. In terms of smart-device design, we have solutions such as Soligie. This provides a thin, flexible, robust and economical alternative to rigid printed circuit boards (PCBs) or copper flex circuits that are suited to deployment in flexible sensors. In the smart-home environment the Soligie technology helps enable applications such as remote medical diagnostics.\nAs connectivity and energy efficiency are critical requirements for connected home devices, we’re working hard on RF design. Molex Laser Direct Structuring (LDS) technology is helping to create more efficient RF antennas. This technology uses a laser beam to create antenna patterns on the surface of complex 3D parts, avoiding the need to integrate discrete parts that have a detrimental impact on the industrial design.\nAs part of our strategy to provide solutions that incorporate multiple technologies, Molex has joined the EnOcean Alliance. We will integrate the EnOcean energy harvesting technology with the Molex Transcend Network Connected Lighting system to enable lighting that adapts to mood, tasks, ambient lighting and more. The innovative LED-based system creates a personalised experience for the user that improves wellbeing and productivity. It goes further than lighting. The connected applications in the system feed sensor data to a central host to enable the monitoring of real-time energy consumption, air quality, temperature and more.\nEngineering tomorrow' connected house - Today!\nAre you developing an application that could help enable the world's connected homes? Chances are you'll be considering antennas as part of your wireless connectivity solution.

The company says that this app will come in handy to drivers as it shows them the current status of the traffic light in front of the car in real time.\nIt even shows them the countdown to the signal change and this helps the drivers brake or in some cases get ready to drive. The app helps in tracking a vehicle’s position and speed and thus providing a recommendation about whether to cruise through a light or stop.\nThe EnLighten app also has the provision of providing audio alerts which notify the driver if there is a pending change in the status of a signal they are approaching, or when a light turns green. It also keeps a track of the car’s turning indicator, thereby allowing only the relevant light signal to be displayed.\nCurrently available only on an iOS device , it only works in cities that have a network of ‘smart’ traffic signals but we’ll soon see the use of it in many other countries.", "label": "Yes"}
{"text": "Seamlessly connect people around the world Establish a single network that accelerates innovative work-style\nFirst class authorized architect / business coach\nMr. Kenichi Suzuki\n“We have established a global network platform that accelerates our work-style innovation.”\nInformation Systems Division\nInfrastructure Planning Group\nMr. Jun Benki\n“NTT Global Network Services enables network service to be delivered smoothly to new offices and dramatically reduces our total cost of networking.”\nContinuously promote work-style innovation\nOptimize global network infrastructure\nKOKUYO, under a core strategy to support society with innovative products, operates three main businesses: a stationary and PC-product business, an e-commerce site for office supplies called Kaunet, and a furniture business serving offices, educational institutions and medical facilities. The furniture business, beyond supplying necessary tools for customers, provides consulting on the design of workspaces suited to each customer’s unique working style.\n“We support customers in multiple ways to help them achieve innovation in their work and communication styles, including providing smart devices for remote work,” says Mr. Suzuki Kenichi, Consulting Director of KOKUYO’s Solution Department.\nKOKUYO has always been a company that looks beyond the mere provision of office furniture, aiming to facilitate innovative ways to do business. For example, in 1997, it was an early adopter of office designs incorporating shared workspaces. Since then, it has been introducing new approaches, such as adopting mobile devices to make efficient use of idle time in the schedules of remote workers, as well as leveraging other communication tools to enhance collaboration.\nMr. Suzuki says KOKUYO is rapidly expanding its business outside Japan. “We aim to increase our overseas revenue ratio to 30% as our next goal for expansion. But to achieve this, we need to effectively communicate and share knowledge with overseas.”\nA drastic network overhaul was required for the company. Network traffic had been rapidly increasing, causing network costs to balloon.” The bandwidth issue was caused by an increasing number of virtualized servers centralized in a data center, which led our network reaching its limit,” says Mr. Jun Benki, head of the Infrastructure Planning Group in KOKUYO’s Information Systems Division.\nThe company decided it had to build a new network to solve these issues, as well as to support its global expansion and promote state-of-the art working styles.\nReliability, low cost and scalability of Network to support global deployment\nKOKUYO received proposals from various telecoms and IT service providers for their new network and then evaluated not only for their reliability and stability, but also running and migration costs, and the ability to manage the massive project of connecting KOKUYO’s more than 300 offices. After careful assessment, it chose NTT Global Network Services of NTT.\n“In addition to the quality of its service and support, another important factor in choosing NTT was that we could get their support in every overseas office that we deploy.” says Mr. Benki.\nIn constructing the network, NTT offered flexible network access solutions according to the needs of each office to achieve the best return on investment.\nFor data centers that require maximum reliability for network connectivity, Premium Grade service ensures 100% guaranteed bandwidth for main and backup circuits. Business Grade service is utilized for important locations, such as head office and distribution centers, while midsize offices use Standard Grade and smaller offices use the highly economical Light Grade, which is based on consumer broadband network service.\nSmooth network delivery to new offices with standardized policy\nKOKUYO completed the migration to NTT Global Network Services in more than 100 offices, thereby raising the level of innovation in these locations. For example, even in small offices with a narrow bandwidth of just 1-2 Mbps, employees now have smooth access to video conferencing.\nDuring the network implementation, a Wi-Fi network in its downtown Tokyo office was also installed by NTT upon request from KOKUYO for over 1,000 salespersons who are using tablets.\nMeanwhile, the new network had driven KOKUYO’s server integration project, which aims to reduce the number of physical server by 40% using virtualization technology.\nPreviously, it was a time-consuming to evaluate data traffic flow to decide server locations from local office. With its flexible new network, however, the company can rapidly consolidate servers.\n“Additionally, standardized network-management processes have been very beneficial. When we set up a new office, it can be connected without having to worry about complex network design. As we expand into global market, this is quite an important factor,” says Mr. Benki.\nIn Summary, KOKUYO now has a network that allows it to develop new working styles and share its knowledge of innovative office solutions based on the company’s own experience and achievement.\n“It’s important not just to raise productivity, but also to consider why we are pursuing innovation. Speed is the key. Our employees can make decisions anytime, anywhere to respond to customers quickly. Our new integrated network platform is a big step toward enhanced innovation. Through our strong partnership with NTT, we will continue to develop innovative work styles, creating new ideas for customer’s business growth.\nNTT Global Network Services is a new highly available broadband network that uses low latency submarine cable systems to let enterprises rapidly deploy reliable, low-cost, scalable cloud-based applications and data, across the globe.\nKOKUYO Co., Ltd.\nBusiness: Stationery, furniture, mail order and retail businesses aimed at offering products and services that contribute to richly creative work and life.", "label": "Yes"}

{"text": "Thursday, May 8, 2014\nBy Jeremy, Follow me on Google+\nWinning political campaigns today, from the Statehouse to Congress, are those that fully embrace technology. Smartphones especially have become an important means for raising campaign money, recruiting volunteers, and encouraging voter turnout. These devices allow political campaigns to easily, quickly and affordably reach a targeted audience. With that in mind, trends in mobile technology will certainly play a role in shaping the 2014 and 2016 elections.\nMobile Technology Wins the Vote\nWhile old-fashioned outreach efforts like telemarketing, direct mail, door-to-door canvassing, and television advertising remain essential, today's political campaigns are augmenting traditional marketing with mobile technology. SMS messaging, voice broadcast, and interactive voice response are just some of the strategies political campaign managers use to reach constituents on mobile devices. Political campaigns also capitalize on the trend toward using smartphones to access social media and the internet; thus, mobile technology is shaping election outcomes in ways the internet alone cannot. What’s more, because of the multimedia capabilities of mobile phones, an increasing number of campaign trackers are using their phones to capture information that could influence voter decisions.\nSMS Text Messaging\nBecause almost 100% of texts are opened, most within an hour of their receipt, political campaign managers have been using SMS to connect with constituents in a timely manner and thus win votes. Short codes make it easy for voters and supporters to opt in to receive bulk campaign messages. Gauging from the mobile trend, SMS will most likely be used for the following purposes in the 2014 and 2016 elections:\n- Informing voters of campaign news/events\n- Ensuring maximum turnout at rallies/appearances\n- Increasing volunteering/fundraising\n- Sending election day reminders\n- Collecting donations through text-to-donate campaigns\n- Conducting polls\nInteractive Voice Response\nCampaigns do not have limitless budgets or an endless supply of volunteers to answer and make phone calls. Therefore, political telephone marketing increasingly means incorporating efficient means of interacting with constituents via new technologies. Interactive voice response (IVR), for example, has been used in the following ways:\n- Routing incoming campaign office calls to appropriate parties\n- Quickly and efficiently engaging the community through updates, surveys, and donation opportunities\n- Gathering and disseminating appropriate information\nCampaign managers also see the tremendous benefit of using voice broadcast, which allows automated messages to be sent to many mobile devices simultaneously. Here are just a few ways voice broadcast continues to be used in political campaigns:\n- Requesting donations/support\n- Sending constituents key information\n- Integrating IVR to invite call recipients to engage in surveys\nSocial Media and the Mobile Web\nA technology-savvy political campaign recognizes that today's voters are multi-taskers, often moving back and forth between watching T.V. and using their phones, where they may be browsing the web and checking email and social media. That's why campaign workers in 2014 and 2016 will likely capitalize on the following mobile campaign trends:\n- Running synchronized T.V./online video advertisements\n- Creating mobile web ads targeted to recipients based on location, age, party affiliation, etc.\n- Using Facebook and Twitter to increase word-of-mouth support\nFinally, it isn't just voters, donors, and volunteers who use their mobile phones for virtually everything today. Campaign trackers are now infamous for using mobile devices to film election-altering videos when researching opposing candidates, and the 2014 and 2016 elections are unlikely to be any exception.\nIn 2014 and 2016, voters and potential campaign donors will continue to rely on their smartphones to stay informed, whether through the mobile web or through voice and text messages from political candidates. That's why savvy campaign managers will be using a variety of mobile and new technology strategies to draw in constituents and get out the vote.", "label": "Yes"}
{"text": "A new Ka band data terminal that will allow astronauts at the International Space Station to enjoy HD video and improved connectivity is being developed by a UK company.\nThe 50cm in diameter parabolic antenna, operating in the highest satellite band, will serve the European space station module Columbus and will provide European astronauts with independent Internet access.\nExpected to be delivered to the orbital outpost in 2017, the antenna is part of an £11m investment by the European Space Agency (Esa).\n“Current communications capabilities available to European researchers on the International Space Station (ISS) are provided by Nasa,” said Peter Garland, director of Advanced Programs of the UK branch of global communications company MacDonald, Dettwiler and Associates (MDA), which will develop and build the technology.\n“Currently, the primary connection for video and data is through the Tracking and Data Relay Satellite System (TDRSS) and time is allocated to Esa by an agreement with Nasa. The Ka Band Terminal, being provided by MDA, will allow European researchers using the Columbus module, to have an independent connection for high-speed video and data,” he said.\nThe terminal, together with a high-speed digital modem, an integrated radio frequency system and an interface to the Columbus on-board data system, will provide a 50Mbps downlink and 1 to 2Mbps uplink data transmission, increasing available bandwidth. Transmitting data through the European Data Relay System, a constellation of geostationary satellites, the technology will allow faster delivery of scientific information including high-definition imagery.\nGarland said the project presents a specific set of challenges as it has to comply with stringent human spaceflight requirements.\n“The whole terminal has to be designed to be compact enough to be mounted in a travel case that delivers the terminal to the ISS and that allows an astronaut to perform an installation during an extra vehicular activity,” Garland said.\nThe MDA equipment is based on heritage technology that has flown in space previously on commercial satellites. The tracking antenna was originally developed for the O3b satellite constellation. However, Garland said, the deployment on ISS will require MDA to address specific pointing requirements of the orbital research complex.\nThe firm hopes to adapt the technology in future for use on low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellites. Thanks to the use of geostationary satellites – those in fixed positions above a certain spot on Earth – the Ku band communication links would allow remote-sensing spacecraft to send data to Earth continuously without the need to wait for when they are above a ground station.\n“Currently, LEO satellites tend to collect data into memory storage and downlink this data in non-real-time during the next pass over a ground station,” Garland explained. “This is satisfactory for applications that are of the survey type, where data latency is not a factor. However, increasingly in applications such as maritime surveillance large data latencies of this kind are not acceptable. In this case similar technology to that deployed on the ISS can provide a real-time connection to a LEO satellite.\nThe MDA contract was enabled by a recent investment of the UK Space Agency into Esa’s International Space Station programme.\nAfter having joined the programme in 2012, the UK Space Agency contributed some £16m to the programme’s budget, allowing UK companies to compete for challenging space technology contracts.", "label": "Yes"}
{"text": "10:00am - 10:25am\nIf the age of drones has taught us anything, we’ve learned that our current aircraft tracking infrastructure is limited. Our efforts to conquer the lower altitude regimes expose the weakness of non-cooperative tracking systems like radar. Non-cooperative systems are costly, lack significant range to see smaller objects, and are not as accurate as GPS tracking systems onboard the aircraft itself. UTM concepts for strategic deconfliction have forged a path for drones to fly safely if all cooperative with data-sharing processes. But without full cooperation of everyone in the sky, including all manned aircraft at low altitudes, we can’t have a complete air picture.\nThe concept of sharing our position data is called Electronic Conspicuity, eConspicuity, or “EC”. Traditionally, this is done with ADS-B systems that send GPS track position to other aircraft or ground receivers. However, not all aircraft can or choose to use ADS-B. We end up with two communities with the same rights to use the sky, but different opinions on how to address safety of flight. Crewed aircraft have pilots with eyes that perform detect and avoid, while drones rely on sensors to see other aircraft. And the common complaint among crewed aircraft pilots is that “they shouldn’t have to equip with ADS-B just so drones can fly”. This isn’t a comprehensive argument. EC doesn’t just benefit drones. It aids all pilots in seeing each other. There are many incidents that have occurred between aircraft that only relied on pilot eyes to “see and avoid” each other.\nSome arguments for not equipping with ADS-B are understandable. ADS-B has its limitations. It’s expensive to install in an aircraft, costing at minimum a couple thousand US dollars up to nearly ten thousand for certified “in/out” solutions after the installation costs. Some aircraft can absorb these costs, but others like gliders and ultralights can’t. ADS-B also has security issues because it broadcasts tracking information to everyone, all the time. Beyond these issues, there are design constraints for ADS-B that should limit the use of the system when larger aircraft are using it in saturated airspace. ADS-B quality needs to be preserved. If we want a comprehensive air picture, we need to look for other systems to help.\nWe need to have a comprehensive air picture to understand where aircraft are flying, but how much information needs to be shared? The reality is that the information shared should match the use case of the flight operation. For example, an aircraft on a predictable flight path could share flight position updates infrequently and those updates could be used to estimate the future position of the aircraft. Other aircraft like crop dusters might be hard to track, but operating in a confined area. In that case, sharing the operational area might be more useful so aircraft can avoid that area altogether. The backbone of a comprehensive EC system should be capable of supporting various types of flight plans and flight tracking systems. UTM is designed to be this system.\nUTM is a flexible system that can share flight intent and flight operations. UTM integrates with the aircraft or aircraft operator directly. It’s a cooperative system and relies on sharing flight plans and flight tracking information. The system can ingest both four dimensional flight paths, but also area based operations. It also ingests flight position at a frequency defined by the operator. The flight information is shared privately in a network and only accessible if there is a potential safety risk.\nThis abstract makes the case for a comprehensive air picture using electronic conspicuity. It also recognizes the limitations of existing systems like ADS-B to scale and meet the need. We need more cooperative systems like UTM along with ADS-B to provide alternative means of compliance for aircraft that can’t or choose not to use ADS-B. But, also to share the right type of information based on the flight operation. UTM and ADS-B can work together to provide a comprehensive air picture at a cost that is far less than trying to provide coverage with non-cooperative systems alone.\nOneSky will present the case for electronic conspicuity and show the right solution is a mix of existing systems like radar and ADS-B, new systems like UTM and policy to enforce the use of these systems to achieve a comprehensive air picture. Only if we can realize the need for electronic conspicuity can we move towards an efficient air traffic management system that is truly integrated.", "label": "Yes"}

{"text": "Itransition is an experienced provider of value-adding IoT solutions for various business domains, including telecom. Our expertise in IoT-specific programming and network engineering, coupled with a deep understanding of data analytics systems, allows telecom companies to substantially improve their network performance and create new revenue streams.\nThe market of telecom IoT today and beyond\nA provider of telephony, mobile networks, TV, and internet connection, telecommunications has always been an essential and lucrative industry. As more companies embrace the Internet of Things, its impact on the telecom market is expected to continue to grow in the coming years.\nScheme title: IoT telecom services market size, by network management solution, 2018–2028\nData source: kbvresearch.com — Global IoT Telecom Services Market, 2023\nin revenue with cellular IoT connectivity services in 2022\nGlobal Cellular IoT Connectivity Tracker & Forecast\nCAGR of the global IoT telecom services market size from 2018 to 2028\nTop IoT use cases in telecom\nThe rollout of 5G has catalyzed the new, potentially large wave of IoT transformation across industries. This drive presents telcos with a wellspring of opportunities to increase their profits, extend their B2B service offer, and forge mutually beneficial partnerships with leading enterprises from across industries. Let’s explore top IoT use cases in telecom:\nThe manufacturing sector is one of the leading users of the Industrial Internet of Things. Telecom companies can offer advanced industrial monitoring solutions for measuring and tracking data from production equipment, providing manufacturers with reliable insights to optimize their processes. From predictive maintenance to remote equipment management to fleet management, telecoms can provide a comprehensive array of services to help manufacturing companies decrease costs and enhance production efficiency.\nAs the world's population continues to urbanize, telecom companies can provide a broad range of solutions for smart cities. Solving public transportation issues, streamlining energy management, or enhancing public security - telecom-specific IoT solutions can help cities become safer and more efficient.\nThe number of connected devices in households has been continuously expanding since 2015. Conventionally, establishing an IoT-based home network has been the homeowners’ responsibility. In recent years, however, telecommunication companies have taken the opportunity to provide end-to-end smart home solutions by joining forces with hardware companies. Some notable examples in this sector include Verizon's partnership with Honeywell and Deutsche Telekom's collaboration with Philips and Sonos.\nAt this point, autonomous driving is no longer a gimmick but a viable technology. However, to achieve genuine autonomy, cars must rely on a robust telecommunications infrastructure to exchange data with each other and the environment. With the help of 5G, IoT, and complementary technologies, telecom companies can become the key enabler of connected cars. For example, China Telecom Global and STC Group have just recently joined forces to collaborate on an IoT-connected car project to accelerate the adoption of connected cars.\nTelecom companies can also use IoT to enable the adoption of eSIM (embedded SIM) or ISIM (integrated SIM) technologies. These technologies eliminate the need for physical SIM cards, allowing CSPs to streamline device activation. What’s more, with the help of eSIM or ISIM, customers can easily switch between both service providers and devices without changing SIM cards.\n3GPP-based satellite connectivity\nTelecom companies can explore 3GPP-based satellite connectivity to extend coverage and enable connectivity in remote or underserved areas. By integrating satellite communication technology into their networks, telecom companies can provide high-quality and ubiquitous connectivity to IoT devices in challenging environments, such as rural areas, maritime, or aviation.\nCommunication service providers can offer IoT-enabled fleet management solutions to transportation and logistics companies. By equipping vehicles with IoT devices and leveraging connectivity, telecom businesses can provide real-time vehicle tracking, optimize routes, monitor fuel consumption, and enable preventive maintenance with the help of predictive models. This improves operational efficiency, enhances driver safety, and reduces overall fleet management costs.\nCardless virtualized networks\nBefore the advent of IoT, telecom companies used external custom accelerator cards specifically designed for their virtualized networks. IoT allows for the integration of vRAN accelerators directly into the processors, eliminating the need for separate custom accelerator cards. Essentially, this allows telecom businesses to achieve the same processing power in their vRANs with less hardware, leading to tangible cost savings and simplified hardware designs.\nAdopt IoT and join the telecom leaders with Itransition’s guidance\nDeutsche Telekom & BMW\nSamsung, KT Corporation, and AT&T\nImage title: KT 5G technology\nImage source: news.samsung.com — KT and Samsung Achieve 1Gbps Speed Over the Air on the 5G Commercial Network in Seoul\nChicago Rush University Medical Center and AT&T\nUSPACE & Chunghwa Telecom\nVerizon & Cognizant\nVideo title: Critical Asset Sensor\nVideo source: thingspace.verizon.com — Critical Asset Sensor\nIoT solution architecture for telecom\nSensors form the first layer of the telecom IoT solution stack and are responsible for collecting data from the environment. These sensors can be embedded within various devices such as vehicles, equipment, and machines and collect data such as temperature, pressure, light intensity, vibration, voltage, radiation, or water flow rate.\nData acquisition system (DAS)\nDAS systems collect raw data from sensors and actuators and convert it to digital format before sending it through an internet gateway. Essentially, the DAS acts as a data translator, allowing devices to communicate with one another.\nThis component comprises communication IoT protocols and technologies used to transmit data, such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, cellular networks like 5G, and low-power networks like NB-IoT. The connectivity protocol choice largely depends on the nature of the data, the distance between nodes, and the budget.\nThe cloud platform is the centerpiece of any IoT architecture. It is responsible for storing big data, running analytics algorithms for insight generation, data visualization, and remote management of connected devices. The cloud platform is also instrumental for integration with third-party services via APIs.\nEdge devices are typically small computing devices deployed at or near the edge of the network, in close proximity to sensors and actuators. They act as intermediaries between the sensors and cloud services. By processing data at the edge, only relevant information is transmitted to the cloud, reducing the volume of transmitted data and alleviating network congestion.\nActuators are used to control the environment by receiving commands from the cloud and acting accordingly. Common examples of actuators include motors, valves, locks, or robot arms.\nIoT adoption challenges & solutions\nPrivacy & security issues\nMost IoT data is stored in the cloud, and some of the data that resides on the actual devices can be hacked via the network.\nImplement robust encryption and authentication protocols to ensure data privacy.\nIoT devices from different vendors often have incompatible communication protocols, complicating IoT network orchestration.\nCollaborate with key industry players to establish common standards and ensure consistency across operating systems, cloud-based services, and technologies.\nInfrastructure & scalability\nIn the telecom sector, IoT is still a novelty, meaning that most organizations don’t have the necessary infrastructure to support IoT adoption.\nInvest in a scalable cloud infrastructure for maximum flexibility, as well as develop an agile computing platform.\nTechnologies to pair with IoT in telecom\nSuccessful implementation of telecom IoT requires more than just connected devices. Here are technologies that can open new opportunities for CSPs when coupled with IoT:\nA sub-branch of artificial intelligence, machine learning will inevitably become an integral part of IoT in telecom. Its ability to analyze large amounts of data in real-time can facilitate network optimization, predictive maintenance, and overall automation.\nComputer vision can be used to analyze images captured by IoT sensors. Whether it's detecting security threats, automating inventory management, or inspecting physical assets, computer vision adds an extra layer of intelligence to IoT systems.\nBlockchain provides new opportunities for CSPs to enable decentralized storage for IoT data and ensure its immutability. Blockchain can also play a key role in realizing the full potential of 5G by establishing a single source of truth across the network.\nIoT is about to change the industry\nFor the majority of telecommunication companies, IoT is still uncharted territory and a departure from the traditional business model. Nevertheless, the existing network equipment, telecom software, and experienced staff give companies an inherent advantage to transform from “dump-pipe” operators to IoT champions, providing vertical-specific connectivity solutions.\nHowever, getting a competitive advantage in Industry 4.0 calls for a software development partner that can capitalize on your unique position in the market and utilize the latest advancements in technologies.

{"text": "Multi Protocol Label Switching (MPLS)\nMultiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) is a data carrying technique for telecommunications networks. Specific to high-performance networks, MPLS uses short path labels to direct data from one network node to the next. By using this technique instead of long network addresses, this method avoids complex lookups in a routing table.\nTraditionally, each router in a network would perform an independent IP lookup to determine the next-hop for data packets until the packets reach their final destination. With MPLS, the initial device still performs a routing lookup, but now finds a predetermined path to the final router.\nThe first device initiating the lookup then applies a label (or shim), to the data packet based on this information. Routers are then able to utilize that label to route traffic without the need for any additional IP lookups. And when the data reaches its destination, the label is removed and the packet is delivered through normal IP routing.\nThis data carrying technique can encapsulate packets of various network protocols and support a wide range of access technologies, including T1/E1, ATM, Frame Relay, and DSL.", "label": "Yes"}

The car park manager can, in real time, monitor the load and usage of the car park.\nApproximately 15% of traffic in cities during the day (9.00 - 17.00) are vehicles looking for free parking spaces. Our system directly influences the reduction of traffic and its liquefaction, increases the efficiency of car parks, improves the efficiency of using already existing parking spots, and reduces pollution due to reduction of exhaust emissions.\nOur Outdoor Parking Guidance System consists of Wireless Parking Sensor KSK - Magnetic, Wireless LoRa Network infrastructure, LED active signs which display the current number of free parking spaces in the area. The system also consists of the mobile app which navigates driver to the free parking space closest destination point, show the prices of the parking areas. Outdoor Parking Guidance System is ideally suited not only for urban parking spaces, but also to make parking easier and more comfortable on large, outdoor parking areas which are easy to find at airports, hospitals, office buildings et\nKSK Magnetic - Parking Sensor\nCheck how it works\nKSK Magnetic Sensor is wireless detector of occupancy of parking spaces. It is specially dedicated for the use on external car parkings, in particular, located in the dense urban areas. Each parking space needs to be equipped with a wireless sensor mounted directly on the existing surface.\nThe device is mounted directly in the surface of the parking space. Installation consists of hollowing the hole, placing the sensor and filling the free surface with a special silicone mass. Assembly is possible both in concrete cube and asphalt. There is also a sensor version glued to the car park surface. It applies when mounting inside the surface is forbidden due to the risk of losing the guarantee of its construction\nMain features of the system\nSensor detects vehicle based on the continuous measurement of natural magnetic field of the Earth and recording field disturbance caused by the vehicle. Information about the actual occupancy of the parking space is obtained as the current register and directed by radio to the collecting device(using the LoRa network) using a private network or a public IoT.\nThe information about the occupancy of the parking space may the used by the manager of the parking and it can be presented using smartphone’s app or the led traffic sign display\nInstallation of the sensors is not invasive, simple and fast. It causes no restrictions in the current functioning of the parking. Configuration of the sensors may be done by mobile phone using NFC technology.\nLoRa network base station\nLoRa base station ensures secure and stable network connection LoRaWAN. This is the type of network LPWAN (Low Power Wide Area Network) dedicated to battery-powered devices within the IoT (Internet of Things), providing two-way, secure connection with the possibility of geolocation of end nodes. The LoRa base station allows simultaneous connection with several thousands of devices simultaneously within the available range. The equipment is designed on the basis of high-quality CD radio IMST and Open Source software. As a result, the device is easy to adapt to any configuration, and will allow independent software modification. The device is easy to install and immediately fully operational.\nWith Naviparking application available for Android and OSX user Smart Phone users can easily find a free parking spot. Information from the sensors are sent to our server and information about the occupancy of parking spaces is sent to the application in real time. The application allows you to navigate to a specific parking space or one of the places available around a specific location. In case of another vehicle \"taking the spot\", the application will notify us of this fact and propose other currently available parking space. In addition to the information from the sensors Naviparking application provides information on private parking lots in a given location and the parking P & R.\nOccupancy displays are designed to present information of the number of free parking spaces in a specific location. Tables are supplied with 230VAC / 50Hz or can be solar powered. Information on the number of parking spaces is passed to the array via Ethernet. The dimensions of the array is 350 x 1750 x 150 [mm]. Information is presented on the LED board yellow color 160 x 360 [mm]\nInterested?

{"text": "Escalating the battle between the cable TV industry and phone companies looking to enter its turf, the area's biggest cable companies are expected to file a complaint early next week alleging that Ameritech Corp. is illegally marketing its cable subsidiary.\nThe Cable Television and Communications Association of Illinois said it will argue to state regulators that the marketing violates the Illinois Public Utility Act, which bans regulated monopolies from subsidizing other competitive businesses.\nAmeritech is offering phone vouchers to customers who sign up for its cable service, Americast, in four western and northwestern suburbs.\nOn Thursday, the cable industry may have won some backing for its case.\nIn a setback for Ameritech, the Public Utility Commission of Ohio issued a cease and desist order on the same marketing promotion, which had been offered in Columbus and other Ohio cities where Ameritech competes for service.\nThe dispute underscores the problems facing the telecommunications industry as it struggles to move to full competition in the wake of the 1996 Telecommunications Act.\nLong-distance companies, local phone companies and cable TV companies have sent hundreds of complaints about unfair practices to local and federal regulatory bodies in recent months.\nIn the promotion here, Ameritech has been distributing fliers to potential customers in Naperville, Glendale Heights, Arlington Heights and Glen Ellyn, offering $120 worth of \"Americhecks\" if they sign up for Americast, the company's new cable TV offering that is competing against established cable companies in those areas.\nThe fliers, which also promote one month of free Americast service, allow the consumers to use the vouchers to pay their home phone bill, a cellular phone bill, the Americast bill or an Ameritech paging bill.\n\"It's illegal,\" said Dan Capasso, spokesman for Jones Intercable, which competes with Ameritech for cable TV subscribers in Naperville.\n\"As we see it, they are continuing to disregard the laws that protect customers from this type of abuse.\"\nThe cable TV industry alleges that Ameritech is using profits from rate payers of its local phone industry to finance the construction and marketing of its cable system in Illinois, which would be illegal.\n\"Rate payers in Quincy and Chicago are funding discounts in Naperville,\" Gary Maher, president of the cable association, said in an interview.\nHe said the group expects to file the complaint with the Illinois Commerce Commission on Tuesday.\nBut so far, the industry hasn't been able to back up its claims that local phone company profits are funding the new ventures. And Ameritech, which has been gaining more cable franchises in Illinois, claims the cable industry is just trying to keep it from entering its territory.\n\"This is baloney. It's another attempt to stymie competition,\" said Ameritech New Media spokesman Geoff Potter.\nPotter said that the promotion is legal because Ameritech New Media pays Ameritech Illinois, the local phone company, back the full tariff price.\nAnd it says that it has enough customers and revenues to cover the promotion.\nBut the company won't say how many cable customers it has in its five-state region.\nIt only says that where it has marketed the cable TV service, it has garnered 30 percent of the cable TV market.\nAlthough the Ohio Public Utility Commission didn't say Ameritech's actions in Ohio violated cross-subsidy rules, the regulators ordered the Americheck promotion stopped, saying it was unfair to offer discounted local phone service to some customers in the state and not everyone else at the same time.\n\"It's a great victory in Ohio,\" said Jones' Capasso.\n\"We are determining how best to respond,\" said Ameritech's Potter about the Ohio decision.", "label": "Yes"}

{"text": "- 18dBi of gain for high-speed transmission over long distances\n- Support for unlicensed CBRS spectrum\nFINLAND / USA – Nokia has announced the launch of a purpose-built Fixed Wireless Access receiver for the North American market.\nThe Nokia FastMile 5G receiver uses a high-gain antenna to deliver high speeds over long distances making it ideally suited to serve both suburban and rural underserved communities. The receiver supports a broad range of 4G and 5G bands including CBRS in either 4G or 5G as well as c-band. It also supports up to 4CA NR carrier aggregation meaning operators can bundle bands for higher throughput.\nThe necessity for high-speed broadband has never been clearer and Governments are responding with a wide range of programs to ensure access for their citizens. Full coverage will require a combination of fiber and wireless technologies where it is too difficult to lay fiber.\nThe FastMile 5G receiver is mounted outside the home where it can pick up the strongest signals, important in rural areas where signals can be weak at the cell edge. The outside receiver is teamed with an inside Wi-Fi router, such as Nokia’s Beacon G6.2 which has managed mesh Wi-Fi capability to deliver strong signals throughout the home.\nChris DePuy, technology analyst and founder at 650 Group, said:\n“For those that require unlicensed spectrum, the 5G outdoor FWA device supports CBRS (B/n48), enabling CBRS in both 4G and 5G. We think the market is well over 10M users for rural access that uses either unlicensed or licensed spectrum. This new product brings much-needed speed to rural areas that traditionally need to settle for less. Also, it broadens out Nokia’s portfolio to allow it to serve a broader set of customers.”\nDirk Verhaegen, VP Broadband Devices at Nokia, said:\n“Our high-gain technology extends the range of Fixed Wireless Access to deliver high speeds even in rural environments. Our receiver supports a wide range of mid and low-bands in both 4G and 5G along with up to 4 NR carrier aggregation, enabling operators to take best advantage of the spectrum investments.”\nThe Nokia 5G high gain receiver is available immediately in the North American market. The receiver joins Nokia’s comprehensive portfolio of customer premise equipment which includes 4G and 5G gateways for indoor use.\n- Directional antenna design, up to 18dBi gain for sparsely populated areas;\n- 3GPP release 16 compliant;\n- Supports all North American 5G mid and low-bands and 4G bands;\n- Supports NSA and SA;\n- B48/n48 band for unlicensed CBRS application;\n- Support for Wall and Pole Mount Options;\n- Includes modem and high gain antennas in one hardened IP66-compliant outdoor receiver;\n- 2.5Gbps Ethernet connection the home network includes PoE to power the outdoor device;\n- The solution is complimented by Nokia Beacon G6.2 as the indoor router providing mesh Wi-Fi 6 and integrated PoE.", "label": "Yes"}

{"text": "Sliceable transponders (S-BVTs) are expected to increase flexibility of elastic optical networks by providing multiple independent optical flows that can be routed based on operators needs and traffic. The support of several transmission modes (e.g., modulation format, coding, baud rate) also enables to adapt the transmission to the physical layer characteristics. Thus, a proper control of the S-BVT configuration is mandatory, as well as the monitoring of optical flows and the management of monitoring information. NETCONF, based on YANG modeling language, is emerging as a software defined networking protocol supporting configuration messages as well as messages to exchange monitoring information within the management system. This paper presents control and management of sliceable transponders through NETCONF and YANG. Three operation, administration, and maintenance (OAM) procedures are presented to guarantee the maintenance of services in the presence of faults or physical layer degradations: centralized, hierarchical, and a scheme based on preprogrammed OAM. A YANG model enabling the preprogrammed OAM is proposed. Simulations show that hierarchical and preprogrammed OAM provide faster reaction time to degradations.\n|Titolo:||Sliceable Transponders: Pre-Programmed OAM, Control, and Management|\n|Data di pubblicazione:||2018|\n|Appare nelle tipologie:||1.1 Articolo su Rivista/Article|", "label": "Yes"}

{"text": "Rethink traditional development and test\nIndividual Client Channel Optimization\nThe final major performance boost comes from technologies that optimize communications when speaking to a specific client. The first enhancement is a concept known as transmit beamforming (TxBF). With TxBF, the access point communicates with the client devices to determine which types of impairment are present in the environment. Then the access point “precodes” the transmitted frame with the inverse of the impairment such that when the next frame is transmitted and transformed by the medium, it is received as a clean frame by the client. Since no two clients are in the same location, TxBF needs to be applied on a client-by-client basis and constantly updated to reflect the changing environment.\nMeeting 802.11ac Technical Challenges: Testing\nDelivering breakthrough 802.11ac demands that developers expand the complexity and precision of their designs. It also requires a rethinking of the traditional approach to testing. Traditional testing requires that the RF section is verified using one set of equipment, and then the upper layer functions are tested using a second set of tools. But the overall technical complexity and the introduction of new technologies mentioned previously, such as TxBF, demand coordination and control between the different layers of the protocol stack. Without this coordination, it is difficult to exercise these functions and to quickly pinpoint performance issues to a specific function of the hardware.\nThe new generation of testing should be able to decode every frame in real-time and determine each frame’s RF characteristics, as well as their frame-level performance, and generate every frame without limitation in real-time to adequately test the receiver performance. It also needs to be able to tightly integrate RF and MAC functionality in 802.11ac, and include integral, real-time channel emulation to address TxBF performance.\nLayer 1 Testing\n802.11ac brings changes to layer 1 that are extremely challenging for radio designers: 246-QAM and wider bandwidths. Designers are required to deliver performance advances in phase noise performance, noise floor, modulation accuracy--virtually every dimension that impacts digital modulation performance. Verifying the performance of transmitters and receivers require better performance than was sufficient for 802.11n, and characterization must include all new 802.11ac rates plus legacy/802.11n rates. Best-in-class performance means verifying transmit and receive performance of literally hundreds of frame definitions, varied by modulation rate, frame length, bandwidth, frequency, channel model, and power level. The testing must include legacy frames, 802.11n frames and 802.11ac frame in various combinations, and must be representative of the actual diversity, rate, and complexity that actual devices will experience in the field.\nTo test these highly-integrated and high performance 802.11ac radio systems on a timeline that meets the aggressive market pace requires two critical components: first, the ability to make RF measurements on every frame transmitted at line rate and second, the ability to generate any desired frame quickly and without limitation. When it comes to testing transmit functions, using I/Q analyzers means that a performance assessment is being made on a small sampling of frames. Because these analyzers trigger only on power, it is statistically improbable that the test engineer will ever see frames that are faulty unless the fault exists on virtually every frame. Power supply issues, clock interference issues, and decoupling problems that impact the fidelity of the transmitted signal randomly or at a low repetition rate are missed. Positive verification of quality comes only when RF measurements are made at line rate on every frame transmitted.\nWhen it comes to receiver testing, the same principle applies. Receivers tested with I/Q signal generators see only a small sampling of frames, and almost no diversity from one frame to the next. Positive verification of quality comes when receivers are subjected to continuous frames at line rate, with real-life variation from frame to frame.\nThe tables below list the measurements required before the radio transmit and receive performance can be declared complete.\nLayer 2 Testing\n802.11ac is even more stateful than its predecessors, and therefore includes a great deal of complexity at the MAC layer. Underperformance can be due to any number of potential causes including: slow ACK response times, poorly designed aggregation algorithms, internal buss limitations, poor rate adaptation algorithms, poor AP selection algorithms, power save implementations, poorly implemented legacy protection schemes, and so on.\nAs with RF testing, the approach to layer 2 functionality testing is to start simple and gradually add more complexity. In this case, that means progressing through a series of steps such as:\n- Make sure a single client is able to reliably connect/disconnect;\n- Perform benchmark tests using a single client to understand any basic system bottlenecks in the upstream and downstream direction;\n- Enable more features on the single client to ensure that the basic functions work properly (aggregation, power save, IPv4 and IPv6, QoS, etc.);\n- If testing an access point solution, benchmark with multiple clients to make sure that the system can achieve the expected performance under ideal conditions at scale; and\n- Test with mixed-mode clients to make sure that the introduction of legacy devices will not adversely impact your 802.11ac solution.\nAll of the above tests should be run under cabled conditions. The goal is to eliminate stray RF effects so that any unexpected test results can be isolated to the system design and not be attributed to RF issues.\nThe last two steps in the process are to run the system level tests while simultaneously varying the individual RF channels of each client. First, the test should be run in a cabled environment with a mix of clients in a variety of locations. Note that it is necessary to create a wide variety of conditions without necessarily using numerous client devices in a physical layout. The cost and repeatability of performing this testing prohibits using actual facilities.\nIEEE members have developed a set of channel impairment models that can be used, along with adjustments to client power levels, to virtually create a layout and conduct this testing. The last step is rerunning the same tests over the air in an RF-isolated environment to eliminate any unintended interference. This ensures that the integrated system, including antennas, cabling, etc., continue to perform as expected.\nTesting Multiple Layers Concurrently\nMuch more comprehensive testing can be accomplished much faster if you can test at multiple layers of the protocol stack concurrently. With wireless technologies, the underlying medium is likely to experience issues that will affect the performance of the overall system. The challenge is knowing what to attribute performance degradation to – an RF design issue, an upper layer protocol issue, or the result of impairment in the RF spectrum.\nIn order to expediently address these issues, a single solution should enable testing of each layer individually but also allow visibility into metrics from both the RF layer and the upper layers at the same time. This approach allows rapid identification and isolation of any discovered issues, and provides the confidence that a product is really ready for production release. By using a common set of tools, productive communication is facilitated between these two functions and test results are easily duplicated.\nRethinking Traditional Approaches\n802.11ac holds the promise of gigabit+ performance that will enable much broader adoption in key target markets such as enterprise, residential video, and carrier hot spots. To realize the performance and density promise, chip and hardware developers must navigate some significant technical challenges including:\n- Ensuring graceful migrations from existing deployed solutions by providing backward compatibility;\n- Delivering high performance RF transmission and receive performance with a wide variety of signals;\n- Maintaining high performance to multiple clients under the channel conditions that will exist in real deployments;\n- Providing the high reliability and feature robustness to enable enterprise and carrier grade 802.11 adoption; and\n- Ensuring that the key application traffic, most notably video, can be delivered with quality.\nIn addition to meeting all of the technical hurdles, developers are also expected to deliver projects on shortened schedules while striving to improve quality. It is clear that 802.11ac demands a rethinking of the traditional approach to development and testing as described above.\nAbout the Author\nJoe Zeto serves as a market development manager within Ixia's marketing organization.

I tested it with a PA2V2 (although I would guess that any amp would do) and was able to get the audio volume to the perfect level. The other possible option is to team it with power hungry headphones that need to be driven by an amp.) Below is a pic of the PA2V2 amp:\nAs an example, I am a big fan of the Tivoli Pal Radios. They have an aux input that you could plug the handset into and be able to listen to the source over the speaker.

Notice that it also has a (great) tuner so you can also just use it for radio.\nTo be more detailed, my setup has a Denon receiver that feeds the TV video and my 5.1 speakers an audio signal.

Permission from IEEE must be obtained for all other uses, in any current or future media, including reprinting/republishing this material for advertising or promotional purposes, creating new collective works, for resale or redistribution to servers or lists, or reuse of any copyrighted component of this work in other works.\nThis paper proposes a novel neural network (NN) training method that employs the hybrid exponential smoothing method and the Levenberg–Marquardt (LM) algorithm, which aims to improve the generalization capabilities of previously used methods for training NNs for short-term traffic flow forecasting. The approach uses exponential smoothing to preprocess traffic flow data by removing the lumpiness from collected traffic flow data, before employing a variant of the LM algorithm to train the NN weights of an NN model. This approach aids NN training, as the preprocessed traffic flow data are more smooth and continuous than the original unprocessed traffic flow data. The proposed method was evaluated by forecasting short-term traffic flow conditions on the Mitchell freeway in Western Australia. With regard to the generalization capabilities for short-term traffic flow forecasting, the NN models developed using the proposed approach outperform those that are developed based on the alternative tested algorithms, which are particularly designed either for short-term traffic flow forecasting or for enhancing generalization capabilities of NNs.\nShowing items related by title, author, creator and subject.\nA intelligent particle swarm optimization for short-term traffic flow forecasting using on-road sensor systemsChan, Kit Yan; Dillon, Tharam; Chang, Elizabeth (2013)On-road sensor systems installed on freeways are used to capture traffic flow data for short-term traffic flow predictors for traffic management, in order to reduce traffic congestion and improve vehicular mobility.

With the widespread availability of wireless telephony, a cost effective means of communication is readily available to NS/EP users. However, due to the heavy traffic demand placed upon existing or surviving systems in the aftermath of a disaster, severe network congestion will result in high call blocking to NS/EP users when their services are needed the most. This need has resulted in the wireless intelligent network (WIN) implementation of a priority access service (PAS) development effort.

{"text": "Using an LDG Electronics YT-450 Tuner\nAs described in the YT-F450 Operations manual, the YT-450 is 100-watt automatic tuner for the Yaesu FT-450 and FT-950 transceivers that can interact with the transceiver via CAT commands:\n\"The YT-450 connects to the CAT (Computer Automated Transceiver) port on the back of the radio. The CAT interface allows an external device such as a PC or the YT-450 to control the FT-450/950 by sending it serial commands. The YT-450 takes advantage of this interface to simplify the tuning process -- one button push is all that is needed in order to switch the radio to AM mode, reduce output power, transmit a carrier, measure the transmit frequency, and then restore the radio to its previous mode and power level! Additionally, the YT-450 also draws power directly from the radio, so no extra cable is needed.\"\nTo use the YT-450 with Commander controlling your FT-450 and FT-950,\n1. connect your PC's serial port to the YT-450 and your transceiver as described on page 16 of the YT-450 Operations manual.\n2. configure your transceiver's CAT baud rate to 38,400\n3. on the Ports tab of Commander's Configuration window, set the Primary CAT Serial Port panel's Baud selector to 38400.\n4. on the General tab of Commander's Configuration window, set the Radio panel's Command interval to 250.

{"text": "Key Points PLCs and RTUs are similar devices with somewhat differing functionality.\nKey Points PLCs are best suited for wired applications and high speed networks while RTUs are most effective in wireless applications and operate well on both high and low speed networks.\nKey Points The major differences between PLCs and RTUs are in remote communications and data handling capabilities.\nKey Points Most RTUs provide significant data logging capabilities so that data is retained during communications outages or for reporting purposes.\nKey Points RTUs offer sophisticated RTU to SDADA/DCS, RTU to IED and RTU to RTU communications: ıMultiple SCADA protocols, proprietary and standard. ıMultiple IED protocols for instrumentation, field controllers, meters, sensor networks, analyzers, etc. ıAdvanced peer to peer communications with store and forward as well as dynamic message routing capability.\nCommunications examples Standard polling The master station continuously requests the real-time data values. Exception reporting (RBE) The RTU is polled but only reports values that have changed since the prior poll Push Communications The RTU initiates messages on and event or time basis. Peer to peer communications RTUs can communicate with the master station and also with each other (peer to peer) if there is a communications path.·\nCommunications examples Store and forward communications Messages can be passed on by one RTU to another for further process or forward transmission. This type of communication can be used to extend the coverage of point to multipoint style networks and also allows linear communications paths such as along distribution or collection networks\nCommunications Dynamic message routing RTUs are able to learn of changes to network routing and dynamically change message routes. For example if primary communications are radio via communications port 1 and messages have been failing, the master station may use an alternative communications path (via an intermediary RTU or different network connection). If a new message from the master station is received on backup PSTN communications port 2 the RTU will change its routing information to reflect that master station communications are now via port number two. Some RTUs can also re-direct messages via alternative message paths and ports based on message success/failure statistics or by RTU configuration.\nKey Points Most RTUs provide fully integrated communications hardware in the form of dedicated communications modules (with options for communications redundancy) or integral modems.\nIntegrated Communications Integrated communications examples: Kingfisher MC30 comms module with option field swappable option cards\nIntegrated Communications Integrated communications examples: TBox LT Integral Modem GSM Spread Spectrum Radio PSTN Full Function RS232\nIntegrated Communications Comparison Rockwell MicroLogixSemaphore TBox OR\nKey Points Low Power Operation RTUs are available in low and ultralow power configurations that operate on batteries or solar power and extend the range of remote control and monitoring to sites without any infrastructure. Generally, PLCs are not low power devices.\nSummary Use a PLC in applications: In plant Remote with: ıWired Ethernet WAN ıUtility power or large solar panels ıSerial communications ıNo legacy protocols ıIntegral communications equipment not required Use an RTU in applications: Remote with: ıNo infrastructure ıMultiple IED interfaces ıLegacy protocol support ıData logging or reporting ıComplex communications ıMulti media communications ıAntenna height issues ıRBE or Push communications ıIntegral packaging\nWhen RTUs Should Be Used In Place of PLCs Gray Matter Users Group Day Stephens CSE Semaphore Inc.

{"text": "How Did We Build Network Infrastructure Remotely in 3 Days During COVID-19?\nAn uninterrupted internet connection is the most basic requirement, especially in a healthcare entity to bring administrative processes online and save time. However, deploying a network in the medium-large scale organization isn’t as easy as a home network as it involves many complex networking devices that require custom configuration.\nAn Ontario-based LTC home reached out to SyS Creations during COVID-19. They were using the legacy Wi-Fi system and experiencing many network issues and glitches which often resulted in a poor connection. Extensive downtime became routine for them. Eventually, they had to go paper-based and use their MAR and TAR completely manually.\nThe client had a very straightforward requirement: plan, design, deploy and maintain a robust network infrastructure so that they can eliminate paperwork and resume online senior care processes without any interruptions.\n: Healthcare (Long-Term Care Home)\n: Burlington, Ontario, Canada\n: Managed IT Services (Networking)\nObjectives & Problem Statements\n- Staff members, residents, and guests should be able to access high-speed Internet anywhere in the LTC facility and retirement home.\n- Internet speed should be uniform at every bed or room of residents.\n- Any network error should be reported and solved immediately with trigger-based mechanisms.\n- Ability to monitor the network parameters such as network events, connections, coverage, and traffic in real-time.\nThe Action Plan\nNetworking Hardware Assessment\n- Our IT infrastructure team and network engineering team assessed which hardware is required for current problem and future growth.\n- Network Engineers prepared the extensive network infrastructure plan which included the number & type of networking hardware, connection method, and right placement.\nNetworking Hardware Acquisition\n- According to the network infrastructure plan, we ordered the networking devices through our distribution network.\n- Our trusted vendors - Cisco Meraki & Ubiquiti - shipped the networking devices to our location.\nNetworking Hardware Configuration\n- Our Network Engineers configured 5 Managed Switches and 27 Access Points.\n- Later, our Network Engineers tested it and shipped it to the client's location.\nNetworking Hardware Deployment\nWe formed support teams for network monitoring, hardware and software support.\n- Since our deployment team could not visit the client's LTC home due to COVID-19, the client had to install and deploy pre-configured networking devices on their own. However, our deployment team helped them deploy networking hardware by using a groundbreaking technology - AR-based Remote Assistance Technology.\n- We assisted them to place the right networking device to the right location in the LTC facility.\n- A dedicated support team always remains on standby to solve network errors as well as the client’s queries immediately.\nAccessibility: Staff members, residents, and guests can easily access high-speed Internet from any corner of LTC home.\nAvailability: Because of the uninterrupted Internet, physicians and family members of residents can seamlessly talk to residents online and help them to gather mental strength during challenging times.\nProductivity: The client has achieved an 81% reduction in downtime as the network support team monitors and maintains the network proactively.\nFlexibility: The client can monitor the network parameters such as network events, connections, coverage, traffic and control each access point from the single dashboard.\nFirst 30 Hours From First Contact Define Your Business Success\nWe aim to respond quickly. From the moment we receive your query, a dedicated team drives your journey from consultation, delivery and support.\nWe understand your requirements, your budget, your goals and your business characteristics.\nWe employ teams to get personalized solutions, create a master delivery plan, and contact vendors.\nWe validate the master plan with you, remodel it if needed and start working on customization, configuration and delivery.", "label": "Yes"}

{"text": "5G auction could see competition issues, says ACCC\nWith the upcoming 5G auction, the ACCC is revisiting the way in which it approaches spectrum competition issues.\nIt is also urging the government to take a long-term and consumer-centric approach to spectrum allocations.\n“Traditionally, the ACCC has sought to prevent dominance of spectrum by any one licensee in particular bands. However, we are rethinking this approach,” said ACCC Chairman Rod Sims.\n“Instead, and this is a key point, we want to consider spectrum holdings holistically rather than in particular bands.\n”Companies put a value on preventing their competitors or potential competitors getting access to spectrum. This means that a large part of the value of spectrum is actually in reducing competition.\n“I do not want to see some players, particularly a new mobiles entrant, prevented from competing with incumbents because they cannot get access to sufficient spectrum.”\nSims urged government to look beyond the budget bottom line when auctioning spectrum.\n“The value of spectrum lies in the economic and social benefits it can provide to citizens and consumers, not in financial returns to the Budget,” he said.\nHe also foreshadowed the competition challenges of 5G, which could be a substitute for fixed networks.\n“5G allows wireless broadband services at gigabit speeds, the ability to connect large numbers of devices and objects which would facilitate the Internet of Things, and the ability to provide a number of discrete fit for purpose networks rather than general purpose networks,” said Sims.\n“The Internet of Things will present mobile network operators with incentives for deployment, including in regional Australia.”\nAs the role of mobile networks stretches beyond providing communications between people, to providing connectivity to millions of devices and objects, the business cases for network deployment will no longer be restricted to where people live and travel.\nIncreasingly, the need for data to support businesses will justify new investments.\n“The ACCC will closely monitor whether our regulatory settings promote interconnection between networks, particularly between smaller fixed networks and larger mobile networks, and provide incentives for investing in regional mobile coverage,” said Sims.\n“We want the full benefits of 5G to be realised, and we want these benefits to be realised by all Australians through a competitive market.”\nOriginally published here.\nDemand for IoT in mining is increasing, but poor connectivity is affecting the reliable...\nFirst-phase Wi-Fi 6E trials have achieved multi-gigabit speeds and low latency required for...\nInmarsat's GX Aviation solution has powered more than one million free in-flight Wi-Fi...", "label": "Yes"}

Field of the Invention\n The present invention generally relates to a computer program for monitoring select Internet activities of a user of a selected computer to which the program is installed, and more particularly to a voluntary monitoring program configured to monitor multiple Internet access activities, such as web browsing, file sharing programs, news groups, chat rooms, peer to peer chats, file transfer protocols, e-mails sent and received, and the like.\n 2. Discussion of the Prior Art\n Although it would be desirable or even necessary to block access to objectionable material from some users in web sites and the like, this is often not possible as a practical matter. Such blocking may either compulsorily or voluntarily monitor the usage of a selected computer or in some case televisions and compile a record of the web sites or channels accessed by that particular user. This record could be made available to select third party recipients automatically and at pre-determined time intervals, or access to the record may be provided to the selected third party recipient.\n For example, US patent application 2003/0130979 to Matz, et al. describes a system having a content-access-history database that includes information about actions the subscriber has taken to access certain types of content, such as television programming and the like on web sites. Although one of the embodiments of this invention states that providers may use the system for monitoring the internet, it does not describe how the system could be adapted for such use and mainly describes the use as applied to televisions.\n Site specific internet usage monitoring programs are also generally known in the art. Such monitoring programs may be installed by employers or parents to monitor the web sites visited by employees or children respectively. It may also be desirable to monitor web sites accessed by other persons under a variety of different circumstances. Involuntary applications of these types of programs are often used by employers. The employee has no choice but to accept the monitoring activity on the computer since they have no expectation of privacy for business owned systems. In a voluntary monitoring system, the user knowingly and voluntarily has the monitoring program installed on a particular computer to monitor his internet activities. The user may even select one or more third party recipients to receive, or have access to a report containing a record of the internet activity of the computer user.\n For example, U.S. Pat. No. 6,606,657 to Zilbertstein, et al., describes a system to gather and report detailed information on a user's web site visitation. Here, a server system is connected to the internet and receives, processes and supplies detailed user information such as the sites visited and the duration and times of such visits. Such information is gathered and transmitted to subscribers who have reporting and communicating software installed. In addition, the users submit profile information about themselves. Demographic information as to the popularity of visited web sites may then be easily determined, stored and updated by the server. This demographic information, in turn, may be provided to other users, or web site operators and advertisers. The invention disclosed also allows users to initiate chat sessions with other users visiting a particular web site, or post a virtual note on the site for other subscribers to read. A disadvantage to this invention is that most of the web monitoring information is provided to the website owners and operators not the users.\n U.S. Pat. No. 6,449,604 to Hansen, et al. describes a system for displaying information on the Web page usage. Statistical information and usage analysis produced by this invention is available to owners and web-site operators. A disadvantage to this invention is that it focuses on website use, not a user's usage. U.S. Pat. No. 6,052,730 to Feliciano, et al. discloses a method for monitoring web browsing activities that does not require modification or reconfiguration of client software, and does not require information from other servers. Complete tracking of a client browsing session is allowed, including detailed link usage, page visits, and the sequence in which the accessing took place. The invention also allows such tracking information to be generated and recorded through the use of a single server. The disadvantage to this invention is that the method is transparent to the client browser.\n U.S. Pat. No. 6,397,256 to Chan, et al. describes a device for transmitting browser activity to a monitoring unit. The monitoring unit is remotely located from the Internet access unit and coupled to the transmission device, the monitoring unit including a display for viewing, and recording Internet activity of the Internet access unit. The system may be activated via a remote command module and may include a password protected interface on the Internet browser (via the software plug-in). Unfortunately, this system is fairly complicated in that it requires an installed transmission adapter card.\n While the voluntary programs currently available in the art are configured to monitor web sites accessed by the computer user, they do not offer the capability to monitor the activities resulting from use of other protocols, such as access to file share programs, news groups, chat rooms, peer to peer chats, file transfer protocols, and e-mails. Without these capabilities a user may circumvent a monitoring program by accessing unmonitored internet protocols.\n Although there is known in the art various means to monitor computer use, there is a desire and need in the art to provide a computer use monitoring program capable of monitoring and recording a variety of internet activities of a particular computer user including web browsing activity, file share programs use, news group access, chat room activity, peer to peer chat activities, file transfer protocol use, e-mails sent and received, and the like. This monitoring could then be recorded and made available to not only the user, but also to a third party recipient. There is a further need to provide an internet monitoring program capable of generating and providing a report having information related to the above described internet activities.\nSUMMARY OF INVENTION\n Accordingly, the present invention provides an Internet monitoring system and method configured to monitor and record Internet activities of a particular computer user including web browsing activity, file sharing program access, news group access, chat room activity, peer to peer chat activity, file transfer protocol access, and e-mails sent and received. Current voluntary monitoring programs available in the art are limited to monitoring and reporting on web browsing activities. The system and method of the present invention also records and makes available this monitoring activity to a designated third party recipient. The reports may further include a link connecting reported information related to these different protocols.\n In one embodiment of the present invention, a system for monitoring Internet use of a selected computer user includes a remote server and a computer communicatively connected to the remote server and having a monitoring program installed thereon by the computer user. The monitoring program is configured to monitor Internet access activity of the computer user and record the Internet access activity on the remote server. The Internet access activity includes at least one Internet protocol from the group consisting of network news transfer protocols, file sharing programs, file transfer protocols, chat room access, peer to peer chat access and electronic mail activity.\n In another embodiment of the present invention, a method of monitoring Internet use of a selected computer user includes the steps of: a user voluntarily installing a monitoring program on the computer, the program configured to monitor Internet access activity of the user, the Internet access activity including at least one Internet protocol from the group consisting of newsgroup access, file sharing programs, file transfer protocols, chat room activity, peer to peer chat activity and electronic mail activity; monitoring the Internet access activity; and recording the Internet access activity on a first database located within a remote server.\n In yet another embodiment of the present invention, a system for reporting Internet access activity of a selected computer user includes a remote server and a computer communicatively connected to the remote server having a monitoring program installed thereon. The monitoring program is configured to monitor Internet access activity of the computer user and record the activity on the remote server. The Internet access activity includes access to at least one Internet protocol from the group consisting of hyper text transfer protocol, network news transfer protocol, file sharing programs, file transfer protocol, chat rooms, peer to peer chats, and electronic mail. The remote server is further configured to generate a report including a plurality of portions, and each portion containing a list of the recorded Internet access activity of one of the Internet protocols. The portions may further include a computer link to connect to another of the plurality of portions.\n In still another embodiment of the present invention a method of reporting Internet use of a selected computer user includes the steps of: a user voluntarily installing an Internet monitoring program on the computer, the program being configured to monitor Internet access activity of the user; monitoring the Internet access activity; generating a report of the Internet access activity, the report including a plurality of portions; and providing a link on one portion of the report to electronically connect to at least one other portion of the report, wherein each of the plurality of portions contain information on Internet access of different Internet protocols.\n Other features of the present invention will become more apparent to persons having ordinary skill in the art to which the present invention pertains from the following description and claims taken in conjunction with the accompanying figures.\nBRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS\n The foregoing features, as well as other features, will become apparent with reference to the description and figures below, in which like numerals represent like elements, and in which:\n FIG. 1 is a schematic of a monitoring system of the present invention;\n FIG. 2 is a schematic of a method of monitoring and reporting of the present invention; and\n FIG. 3 is a schematic of one embodiment of a monitoring system of the present invention.\n In general, the present invention can be realized as methods or systems in hardware, software, or a combination of hardware and software of a computer system including a computer network system. The present invention can be realized in a centralized fashion in one computer system or in a distributed fashion where different elements are spread across several computer systems. Any kind of computer system, or other apparatus adapted for carrying out the methods described herein, is suited. A typical combination of hardware and software may include a general purpose computer system with a computer program that, when being loaded and executed, controls the computer system such that it carries out the systems and methods described herein. The present invention may also be voluntarily embedded in a computer program product (or any computer useable medium having computer readable program code embodied therein), which comprises all the features enabling the implementation of the methods and systems described herein and which when loaded in a computer system is able to carry out these systems and methods.\n Computer program or computer program product in the present context means any expression, in any language, code or notation, of a set of instructions intended to cause a system having an information processing capability to perform a particular function either directly or after either or both of the following: (a) conversion to another language, code or notation, and (b) reproduction in a different material or electronic form.\n The present invention specifically relates to a voluntary Internet monitoring system and method for monitoring and recording Internet use of a particular computer user including web browsing activity, file sharing program access, news group access, chat room activity, file transfer programs access, e-mails sent and received, and the like, and providing a report to a third party recipient. This type of monitoring, when voluntarily initiated, may provide a user a method to minimize temptations to engage in Internet access activities considered objectionable to the user. If the user knows a third party recipient will have access to a report of his Internet access activity, thus eliminating the secrecy of the activity, he may refrain from such activity.\n The present invention also provides reporting features superior to existing monitoring programs thus enhancing its usefulness and effectiveness. The report generated in the present invention is capable of reporting the Internet access activity of the user and may also provide a link on one portion of the report to allow the user to computer-link to and access information related to different Internet protocol activities on different portions of the report.\n Turning to FIG. 1, a monitoring system 20 of the present invention provides a system of monitoring the Internet access activity of a computer user and includes a selected computer 22 onto which a monitoring program 24 may be installed. The user may voluntarily elect to have the monitoring program 24 installed on his computer to monitor his own Internet access activities. The \"user\" as used in this application refers to the computer user to be monitored who has voluntarily chosen to install the monitoring program 24. The system allows selection of one or more third party recipient who will receive reports, or have access to reports, of the Internet access activity of the user.\n The monitoring program 24 may be installed by down-loading the program directly from a remote server 26 through an Internet connection or other suitable means, or may alternatively be installed manually by way of a prerecorded media, such as a compact disc (CD). Before installing the monitoring program 24, the user may make certain pre-installation elections such as who will be the recipient of information gathered with the monitoring program 24, how often reports will be updated and made available to either the user or a third party recipient, as well as other key parameters that will be discussed in more detail below.\n Once the monitoring program 24 has been installed on computer 22, computer 22 is communicatively connected to server 26 through an electronic connection, such as telephone lines, cable, fiber optics, electric power lines, or other suitable connection. When the user attempts to connect to the Internet, the user will be unable to gain access to the Internet without first establishing a connection with remote server 26. During or after the initial installation of monitoring program 24, the user may elect to have an automatic connection to remote server 26 and thus, the Internet, or may have a prompt display on the screen of computer 22 indicating that a password is required to enter the Internet. This password would then connect computer 22 to remote server 26. Remote server 26 may include any personal computer or other hardware system available and known in the art. Server 26 may be a single server or include a \"server cluster\" containing multiple servers.\n When monitoring program 24 is installed on computer 22, during any given session of Internet access all Internet access activity of the user will be recorded by the monitoring program 24 onto the remote server 26. These activities may include the traditional web site protocols, such as hyper text transfer protocol (http) (i.e., web browsing activities), in addition to other protocols not presently able to be monitored by existing monitoring programs. These other protocols may include protocols used in file sharing programs (gnutella, fast track and other like programs), news group access or network news transfer protocol (nntp), chat room activity and peer to peer chats, file transfer protocols (ftp), and protocols for reading e-mail such as post office protocol 3 (pop3) and Internet message access protocol (IMAP), and protocols for writing or sending emails such as simple mail transfer protocol (smtp). As other new protocols are developed, the system may be reconfigured to add monitoring and reporting capabilities for those as well. These may be added as program updates, new releases and the like. The Internet access activity being monitored may be routed over the Internet, compiled then stored in remote server 26 or in a database contained within remote server 26.\n In one embodiment of the present invention as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, remote server 26 may include a first database 28 wherein the compiled information is stored in a temporary file designated for the particular user. Periodically, this information may be routed through a processing program 27 and transferred to an optional second database 30, which may also reside within remote server 26. Although this embodiment describes the use of two separate databases for storing the recorded activity, it is to be understood, that the information may remain solely within a single database and be processed and saved in that database. Alternatively, the system may function without a designated database and perform the storing and processing of the data within remote server 26 as shown in FIG. 3.\n The information processing performed by processing program 27 may include sorting the access activity of the user, assembling a list of the Internet access activity, and assigning a score to each activity listed. In one scenario, the score may be assigned as a numeric indicator of the type of activity accessed. For instance, for a particular type of objectionable Internet activity accessed a high numeric score may be assigned such as a number between 15 and 20. Likewise, a non-objectionable Internet access activity may be assigned a low number such as 0 or 1. An analysis program within the processing program 27 may analyze the Internet access activity and assign a score based on parameters such as key words and image content. Alternatively, instead of the default scoring system, the user or recipient may pre-select key words and/or other selected parameters to use for scoring purposes. In this scenario, a program will run for that particular user that assigns the score to the Internet access activity listed in accordance with the desired scoring for that user. For example, the user or recipient may select words to be given a high numeric score (i.e., words considered objectionable to that user or recipient), and words to be given a low numeric score. A variety of other scoring parameters may be included such as scoring based on the time of day (or night) the user engaged in Internet access activity, or the size of the file accessed by the user. Again, the score may be higher for activities logged late at night as opposed to during the day. As an alternative to the scenario described above, the numeric scoring may be replaced with a relative scoring system. Under this type of scoring method, for a particular activity a letter or other symbol may be used that designates whether the activity is deemed objectionable or not.\n As shown in the schematic of FIG. 2, after the information has been processed, it may be transferred to second database 30 where it is stored in a file assigned to each user. Within second database 30, reports may be generated that sort and compile the stored information by a variety of parameters. Again, in the situation where only one database is utilized, the report may be generated within that one database. Alternatively, in the situation where no databases are utilized the report may be generated within the remote server itself. A typical report may include the date and time of access of each listed Internet access activity, the time period the user was engaged in the particular Internet access activity, the name of the Internet access activity (e.g., http name, ftp name, pop3 name), the numeric or relative score assigned to the activity, or any variety of other information that may be desired. The report may also be sorted by a variety of parameters, such as sorting by the score assigned to each Internet access activity listed in the report. For instance, it may be desirable to place the activities having the highest score values at the beginning of the report so the third party recipient may immediately review the more objectionable activities without searching through the report. Another feature of the report may include a comment section. The comment section may allow the user to type in a comment after engaging in a particular Internet access activity. For example, if the user conducted research for a school report, and visited a web site considered objectionable to the user, he may later access the report of that activity within remote server 26 and type in a comment explaining the visit to that site. The comment may then appear on the report to alert the third party recipient of the reason for the activity listed on the report.\n The report generated by the monitoring system 20 may also be uniquely configured to contain a plurality of portions, with each portion containing different information related to the monitored Internet activity. For example, the report may include a first portion having information related to web site access activity (http activity). On this first portion, one or multiple links may be provided to allow the third party recipient or user to link from the first portion to another portion of the report. The other portions of the report may include a portion containing information on Internet access activity of the other Internet protocols being monitored. These other protocols may include those used by file sharing programs (gnutella, fast track), news groups (nntp), chat room activity, peer to peer chat activity, file transfer protocols (ftp), and e-mails read (such as pop3 or IMAP) and e-mails written (smtp). Thus, the report may contain a portion corresponding to each of the different protocols being monitored. Links may be included on each of the different portions to connect and link to the other portions. This configuration allows for efficient reporting of the Internet access activity and allows for separate reporting on the various protocols. Rather than having to search through one large report containing all of the information, the user or third party recipient may quickly and easily maneuver through the various portions of the report.\n To retrieve reported information, remote server 26 may be accessed directly by the remote third party recipient through an Internet connection. As shown in FIG. 2, a report may be automatically sent to the third party recipient and/or user at predetermined time intervals. Alternatively, an electronic message (e.g., e-mail, facsimile) may be sent automatically to the third party recipient and/or user with a reminder to access remote server 26 to check the report. Thus, the third party recipient and/or user may receive reports and other information from remote server 26, or may access remote server 26 to view or request reports and other information. Another optional communication between remote server 26 and the third party recipient may include sending the recipient a notice that the user has deleted that third party from the recipient list. Since the system is designed for voluntary monitoring, the user may elect at any time to delete, add, or replace third party recipients.\n While the invention has been described in conjunction with specific embodiments, it is evident that many alternatives, modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art in light of the foregoing description. Accordingly, the present invention attempts to embrace all such alternatives, modifications and variations that fall within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.\nPatent applications by Collin J.

{"text": "A stable and strong network is essential for the success of any business. A reliable internet connection facilitates the smooth flow of communication and file sharing and enhances productivity. One of the components that help to create a solid network is the LAN cable. It may seem like a small and insignificant device, but the quality of the cable and LAN Cables Manufacturers you choose has a significant impact on your network's performance.\nIn this blog post, we will explore the role of LAN cable in building a stronger network.\nFactors to Consider\nThe first factor to consider when choosing a LAN cable is bandwidth capability. Bandwidth refers to the amount of data that can be transmitted within a given period. The higher the bandwidth, the more data the cable can carry, hence better network performance. The most popular LAN cable types are CAT5, CAT6, and CAT7. CAT5, the oldest among them, has a bandwidth capacity of 100Mbps, whereas CAT6 can handle up to 10Gbps, ten times more than CAT5. CAT7 has the highest bandwidth capacity of up to 40Gbps.\nThe distance between your devices also plays a role in the performance of your network. To ensure a stable connection, you need a LAN cable that can transmit data over the required distance without signal degradation. The cable type varies in the distance they can effectively transmit data. CAT5e can cover up to 100m, CAT6 up to 150m, and CAT7 up to 1000m. It's important to note that the distance covered may vary depending on factors such as cable quality, network equipment, and environmental factors.\nYour network may be subject to interference, which can affect the quality of the connection. The two most common sources of interference are electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radiofrequency interference (RFI). EMI arises from electronic equipment, and RFI comes from radio signals. The level of resistance to such interferences is another factor to consider when choosing a LAN cable. CAT5e has minimal resistance to interference, whereas CAT7 has a shielding system that makes it the most resistant to signal loss.\nThe cost of the LAN cable is also a consideration. It's important to determine your network's needs and balance them with the cost of the cable. Understandably, the cables with the best features come at a premium price. CAT7, the most superior among LAN cables, is more expensive than CAT5 and CAT6. However, choosing a cheaper cable may compromise your network's performance in the long run, resulting in costly repairs and replacements.\nLastly, it's essential to consider future needs when choosing a LAN cable. An upgrade to your network may require more advanced cable features, such as higher bandwidth and increased resistance to interference. It's, therefore, crucial to take this into account when selecting a cable type to future-proof your network.\nA strong network is critical to the success of any business, and the LAN cable plays an essential role in achieving this. Understanding the cable's features and choosing one that meets your network's needs is vital for optimum performance. A cable with a high bandwidth capacity, resistant to interference, and can cover the needed distance is ideal. Future-proofing your network needs should also be a consideration when selecting a cable type. Ultimately, investing in a quality LAN cable is an investment in the stability and productivity of your network.", "label": "Yes"}

By using this approach we show that classical control modeling using Laplace transforms and Smith's principle give a simple and rigorous model of the role played by congestion window and advertised window variables in today's in TCP/IP. In particular, we clearly show that TCP performs flow and congestion control using a Smith's predictor. The proposed analysis gives clear guidelines to improve TCP in a way that is backward compatible and incrementally déployable. In particular, the model shows how it is possible to include in the control scheme, which has been obtained using a Smith predictor, any new type of explicit feedback from network nodes, any new algorithm executed at the source, as well as any new implicit feedback.

{"text": "Network accessible parallel computing systems, based upon transputers, for image processing strategies\nOver the last decade there has been a steady increase in the size of primary data sets collected from medical imaging devices, and a correspondingly increased requirement for the computational power needed for associated image processing techniques. Although conventional processors have shown considerable advances throughout this period, they have failed to keep pace with the demands placed upon them by clinicians keen to utilise techniques such as pseudo three dimensional volume image presentation and high speed dynamic display of multiple frames of data. One solution that has the capability to meet these needs is to use multiple processors, co-operating to solve specified tasks using parallel processing. This thesis, which reports work undertaken during the period 1988-1991, shows how a network accessible parallel computing resource can provide an effective solution to these classes of problems. Starting from the premise that any generally accessible array of processors has to be connected to the inter-computer communication network, an Ethernet node was designed and constructed using the Inmos transputer. With this it was possible to demonstrate the benefits of parallel processing. Particular emphasis had to be given to those elements of the software which must make a guaranteed real-time response to external stimuli and it is shown that by isolating high priority processes, relatively simple OCCAM code can satisfy this need. Parallel processing principles have been utilised by the communications software that implemented the upper layers of the OSI seven layer network reference model using the Internet suite of protocols. By developing an abstract high level language, software was developed which allowed users to specify the inter-processor connection topology of a point to point connected multi-transputer array, built in association with this work. After constructing a flexible, memory efficient, graphics library, a technique to allow the high speed zooming of byte sized pixel data using a lookup table technique was developed. By using a multi-transputer design this allowed a 128x128 pixel image to be displayed at 256x256 pixel resolution at up to 25 frames per second, a requirement imposed by a contemporary cardiac imaging project.", "label": "Yes"}

{"text": "VoiceMax Transceiver Speech Processor\n- This Product Has Been Discontinued -\nWhy Do You Need a Speech Processor?\nTwo-way radio communication relies on the modulation content within the signal. Maintaining a high modulation level is crucial in providing the highest possible range from any transmitter operating on AM, FM, or SSB modes. Two-way radios use microphones that inherently change audio levels delivered to the transmitter. This causes transmitter modulation to fluctuate greatly depending on voice level and pitch. The average modulation of a typical voice signal is only about 40%. This low percentage applied to the transmitter, results in less than optimal transmission range.\nWhy Not Buy a Power Microphone?\nPower microphones have an internal audio amplifier that amplifies all signals equally. That means that even the lowest background sounds are boosted significantly. This can be a major problem by creating a loud background distraction that competes with the voice signal.\nWhat About Other Processors?\nOther speech processors use a low cost audio clipping approach to achieve compression. While this method is economical for the manufacturer, clipping is undesirable and distorts the original signal. This makes your voice sound “fuzzy” on the air. What these types of processors gain in compression volume, they lose in voice intelligibility.\nVoiceMax is Different... and There's Nothing on the Market Like it!\nVoiceMax uses a sophisticated\nAutomatic Gain Control circuit that installs inside your transceiver to hold\nthe audio level constant, with typically less than 0.3% total harmonic distortion\n(THD). No \"clipping\"\ntype processor can come close to this low distortion level.\nWhether you're whispering or shouting, VoiceMax holds your transceiver at 100%\nmodulation allowing you to punch through heavy channel traffic without\nsacrificing voice clarity.\nVoiceMax incorporates a feature not offered on other processors. The adjustable\nnoise gate allows the user to block unwanted ambient background sounds. This\nfeature is especially helpful in mobile environments where wind and road noise\ncan be an issue. VoiceMax works with your non-amplified dynamic microphone to\ngive you tremendous audio punch without all the background noise associated with\nComplete Audio Processing for Non-Amplified Dynamic Microphones*\n► Automatic Gain Control Maintains Constant 100% Modulation Level\n► High 15:1 Compression Ratio\n► Adjustable Output Limiter Prevents Over Modulation\n► Adjustable Noise Gate Eliminates Ambient Noise\n► Extremely Low Total Harmonic Distortion\n► Modulation Indicator LED\n► Tiny Surface Mount Technology Mounts Inside Transceiver\n► Completely Shielded for High RF Immunity\n► Reverse Polarity Protected\n► No Batteries Necessary\n► Premium Electronic Components & Circuit Board\n► 100% Production Tested\n► 90 Day Limited Warranty\n* Most stock microphones as well as Astatic #611L, Astatic #636L, Astatic #651L, Road King #RK56, and others.\nVoiceMax Specifications & Installation Instructions\nFrequently Asked Questions...\n► Does VoiceMax Use Signal Clipping to Achieve Compression?\nNo, signal clipping causes distortion and produces audio that sounds “fuzzy”. VoiceMax uses a sophisticated automatic gain control circuit to maintain audio at a constant level with extremely low harmonic distortion.\n► Can I Install the VoiceMax Module Myself?\nYes, but for optimum results the installer should have access to an oscilloscope. The oscilloscope will be used in adjusting the output level of the VoiceMax module so that the transmitter will not over modulate.\n► Can I Use a Power or Condenser Microphone With VoiceMax?\nNo. Due to VoiceMax’s high gain we recommend that only non-amplified dynamic type microphones be used. Power and condenser microphones contain amplifiers that are generally incompatible with VoiceMax. There are many aftermarket microphones that work well with VoiceMax... such as Astatic 611L, Astatic 636L, Astatic 651, and others.\n► What is a Noise Gate ?\nA noise gate is a feature that allows low-level sounds to be subdued. This is very useful in a mobile environment, where road noise can be a problem. VoiceMax’s noise gate threshold level is adjusted once during installation, based on user preference.\n► Does VoiceMax Require a Battery?\nNo, the power required for the VoiceMax module is extremely low, and is derived from inside the transceiver.\n► How Big is the VoiceMax Module?... And Will it Fit Inside My Radio?\nThe size of the VoiceMax module is 1.6” x 1.6” x 0.32” utilizing surface mount electronic technology. This small size should fit inside most transceivers.\n► How Will I Know the VoiceMax Module is Working?\nVoiceMax has a modulation indicator LED that flashes in sync to audio applied to the transceiver’s microphone. This LED is viewed during the adjustment procedure, to make certain VoiceMax’s levels are set properly for your transceiver.\n► Should the VoiceMax Module be Operating All the Time?\nYes! The VoiceMax module was designed to be active whenever your transceiver is operating. This allows you to take advantage of VoiceMax’s performance boost every time you transmit.", "label": "Yes"}

{"text": "A place called “IP Phone Warehouse” might sound biased in saying this… but IP phones are the number one choice for business telephony. IP phones, also called VoIP phones, use Internet protocol technology to connect to other endpoints. It’s an entirely different technology than analog and digital phones.\nIP phones have a few misconceptions attached to them, most of which derive from what people think about when they imagine a phone. An analog cord connects an analog phone to an analog wall outlet (notice we’re talking “analog” here). The cord powers the phone and provides a connection to either the carrier or a phone exchange. VoIP phones are a tad different than this old fashioned system.\nAn Ethernet cable is required to connect a VoIP phone. By using an Ethernet or IP-based connection, VoIP phones can provide many, many more features and month-over-month savings. They can utilize the existing Ethernet infrastructure running through your building. Ethernet is also much simpler to maintain than copper analog wiring.\nThe IP phone cannot simply connect to the Internet and start working—for example, plugging the Ethernet cable into a network switch or the wall and crossing your fingers. A service or phone system is required.\nThere are many options available to VoIP phones and phone systems. This is where shopping for an IP phone can get fun. Everything from the phone’s operating system to the number of line appearances available can affect your productivity and return on investment.\nLine appearances give your VoIP phone flexibility. The more line appearances that your phone has, the more incoming calls you can keep on hold at one time. For example, keeping calls on hold to transfer to a conference or to answer when you have the time.\nPhones that support many line appearances are ideal for power users like receptionists and executives.\nSome phones will offer LED buttons that correspond to the number of line appearances that are offered by the phone. An IP phone with eight line appearances might have eight LED keys, providing a convenient way to access extensions, speed dial numbers and incoming callers.\nA typical IP phone has either one or two Ethernet ports behind it. The ports connect it to the switch or another network device. Having dual Ethernet ports enables the phone to connect to the network and a nearby computer at the same time. The computer and phone can share the connection.\nA single Ethernet port provides security. When the phone is set up in a common area like a waiting room or hallway, there is no second Ethernet port available for someone to plug in laptop and potentially hack into the network.\nEthernet ports are available in either 10/100 or 10/100/1000 (gigabit-Ethernet) connectivity. Gigabit-Ethernet is more common in video phones or devices that process more bandwidth-intensive multimedia.\nPower Options (PoE or AC)\nPower supply options for VoIP phones in North America include PoE and AC. Phones with PoE-enabled switch ports can be powered by a PoE-ready network switch or a PoE injector. PoE is an acronym for “Power over Ethernet,” meaning that both power and data are transferred to the phone from a single Ethernet cable.\nA number of phones that support PoE are not packaged with an AC adapter. Please keep that in mind when shopping for IP phones. Non-PoE phones utilize an AC power supply coming from a nearby wall plug. Power supplies vary by region—AC is the North American standard.\nThe basic principal behind how human speech works is that we need to use the same language in order to understand each other (excluding verbal cues and other clues). Technology like IP phones works similarly.\nWhen VoIP was first introduced, the languages and protocols used by the phones were largely proprietary. Manufacturers were developing their own solutions with unique languages and protocols, largely interoperable with other manufacturers.\nToday, the industry is pushing towards making IP technology easier to install and operate, which is incredibly helpful to small businesses that want to deploy VoIP. SIP is becoming an industry-standard protocol for VoIP telephony.\nA protocol defines how the phone defines and reads signals it sends and receives. Phones, video conferencing equipment and more types of devices are readily supporting the SIP protocol. Another protocol to be aware of is Cisco’s SCCP protocol. VoIP phones built for Microsoft Lync are also available.\nOne consideration: make sure your phone system and phone endpoint share the same protocol. Otherwise they won’t be able to communicate.\nExpanding a VoIP phone is critical for receptionists and power users. Expansion modules can give a phone more LED keys to view live extension statuses, busy lamp fields, speed dial numbers and more. Quickly connect callers to the right extension or dial out to important contacts.\nExpansion modules are available with paper inlays that are used for labeling purposes. LCD expansion modules are inlayed with a miniature display instead of a paper label. An LCD display is more flexible than a paper inlay, letting the module perform functions like show more than one set of labels. LCD modules with a “page” key can switch between different sets of labels, letting one module do the work of two or more.\nAdditional Ports & Connections\nHeadset ports, USB ports, DECT radio, WiFi radio, Bluetooth… some phones come with a lot of options for connecting peripherals or accessing the network. If you have existing equipment like headsets, make sure they’re compatible with the desired phone.\nDECT is a common technology used with wireless phones. It is highly secure, and provides a great distance between the handset and the base station. A few wireless phones also use WiFi, letting the handsets signal with existing compatible access points that are already situated throughout the building’s infrastructure. Desktop phones might also feature WiFi, but it is more prevalent in high-end models.\nMore to Consider\nA VoIP phone with a loudspeaker and microphone, or speakerphone, is well suited for conferencing. Multiple participants can sit around the phone and share the speakerphone capabilities. Not all speakerphones are built the same. Some offer dual microphones, full duplex technology, noise cancellation, echo cancellation, wideband audio and more.\nSeems fairly simple, right? An IP phone without any buttons is less of a phone and more of a bludgeoning device. There are different button types that can become very effectual towards the productivity of the phone.\nProgrammable keys provide quick access to user-specified applications and phone functions. Fixed keys on the phone are usually dedicated to supported functions like switching between the handset and a connected headset, call hold, volume and more. Context-sensitive keys mounted around the display change function as the user accesses new menus.\nSpeaking of the display… for some VoIP phones, a display is only necessary to show caller information. Higher-end IP phones might have touchscreen displays capable of streaming media and interacting with complex applications. More moderate-level displays can scroll though messages, emails and give detailed descriptions.\nThe size of the screen and its capabilities are important to consider.\nCalling these features “advanced” doesn’t mean that they’re not affordable. It only means that they aren’t standard. For those that are seeking these features, they will provide an incredible level of productivity. These features include (some mentioned already):\n- Android operating system\n- Embedded camera\n- Bluetooth interface\n- Expansion modules\n- Downloadable applications\n- EHS headset support\nAn analog phone sure won’t support all of the features listed. VoIP is where carriers, manufacturers and IT personnel are focusing their efforts towards advancing telephony. Analog and digital telephony are at the end of their respective ropes.\nThe cost of maintaining the infrastructure is minimal, which is translated into monthly telephone bill savings for the business.\nTop Reasons for VoIP\n- Return on investment\n- Low monthly bills\n- Powerful features and applications\n- HD/wideband audio\n- Voice, video and UC services\nFinding a VoIP Phone\nHopefully this piece answered some of your questions about what IP or VoIP phone to purchase. They offer a more expansion range of features than analog and digital phones. The return on investment is much more immediate, both in terms of productivity and monthly telephone service bills.\nFor additional assistance, contact IP Phone Warehouse’s free pre-sales tech support.

Without having to download a 3rd party app that actually tracks your information and collects data on you and your habits to tailor ads and potentially sell later on.\nWhy don’t I get texts from a certain number iPhone?\nIf you have an iPhone and another iOS device, like an iPad, your iMessage settings might be set to receive and start messages from your Apple ID instead of your phone number. To check if your phone number is set to send and receive messages, go to Settings > Messages, and tap Send & Receive.\nWhy are my texts green when texting another iPhone?\nIt actually means a message that you have sent to someone else is through SMS message service instead of Apple iMessage. … If iMessage is switched off either on your iPhone or on recipient’s iPhone, the message will be sent via SMS and due to this, message background turned into green color.\nWhat happens if you turn off your iMessage?\nIf they have never switched it on, your message will go through as text. … If they move devices (Android), it will continue to try send as iMessage (or fall back to text, as per above) until the person removes themselves from the iMessage service (Apple has a service that you can use to remove yourself from iMessage).\nWhy is iMessage better than text message?\niMessage comes preinstalled, and it achieves more than even the best messaging apps on Android. iMessage is end-to-end encrypted, it supports SMS, and it’s packed with features that range from gimmicky (Animoji) to can’t-live-without-it useful (Memoji).\nWhy are some of my texts green and some blue?\nYou may have noticed that some messages in iPhone’s Message app are green, while some are blue. … If you’re communicating with any device that doesn’t use iMessage—like an Android phone, or an iPhone that doesn’t have iMessage turned on—you’ll see green messages.\nWhat is the difference between an iMessage and a text message?\niMessages use the Internet The main difference between iMessages and text messages is how they send data. Text messages use your cell connection, bouncing from cell tower to cell tower. Meanwhile, iMessages transfer data using the Internet.\nDoes an iMessage count as a text message?\niMessage messages are not sent via your wireless provider, whether it be Verizon, AT&T, Orange or any other provider. These messages are managed and delivered by Apple, and as such have no impact on your text (SMS) or multimedia (MMS) messaging plans through your provider.\nWhy do I get iMessage and text message?\nWhen you send an iMessage, Apple will route that message through their servers using an Internet connection. This Internet connection can be either Wi-Fi or your cellular provider’s data network. If no Internet connection is available, the Messages app may attempt to deliver the iMessage as a regular SMS text message.\nWhy do iMessages turn green?\nIf your iPhone messages are green, it means that they’re being sent as SMS text messages rather than as iMessages, which appear in blue. iMessages only work between Apple users. You’ll always see green when writing to Android users, or when you’re not connected to the internet.", "label": "Yes"}

Entire end-to-end network is designed and developed in India.\" Prime Minister Narendra Modi had inaugurated the country's first 5G test bed at the IIT Madras earlier this week.\n- India's vision for an 'aatmanirbhar' 5G has been on point till now. From the development of the 5Gi stack to 5G test bed and now the first 5G call, it has been (almost) flawless.\n- The incorporation of the country's indigenous 5G stack to the global standard paved the way for India to enter the exclusive telecom club dominated by China, Europe, and the US.\nAatmanirbhar 5G 🇮🇳— Ashwini Vaishnaw (@AshwiniVaishnaw) May 19, 2022\nSuccessfully tested 5G call at IIT Madras. Entire end to end network is designed and developed in India. pic.twitter.com/FGdzkD4LN0\nThe 5G voice over new radio (VoNR) technology used to make the call was designed and developed in India at the IIT Madras. This is part of India's vision to develop its own 5G stack. The IIT Madras-led project which developed India's first 5G test bed is also part of that larger vision. It is set up in five locations across India.\nThe 5G test bed helps start-ups and industry players to test and validate their products for installation in a 5G network. Earlier, those in India had to go abroad to accomplish this. Other institutes involved in the development of the test bed are IIT Delhi, IIT Hyderabad, IIT Bombay, IIT Kanpur, IISc, SAMEER, and Centre of Excellence in Wireless Technology (CEWiT).\nThe 5Gi is India's own 5G stack. It is the result of India's decision to develop its own 5G standard instead of importing the technology. Developed under the supervision of Telecom Standard Development Society of India and DoT, with inputs from IITs and IISc, it will be ready by September-October. It has been incorporated into the global 5G standard, 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project).\nThe 5Gi is developed keeping in mind the specific requirements in India. It has a feature called Low Mobility Large Cell (LMLC) that enhances the signal transmission range of a base station. This will help in providing telecom services in rural areas. The incorporation of 5Gi into the 3GPP ensures that there won't be a fragmentation of the service by a separate 5G technology.", "label": "Yes"}

{"text": "Floor control alternatives for distributed videoconferencing over IP networks\nApplications that require the communication of multiple video streams can consume considerable bandwidth and computing resources, which poses a challenge for the widespread use of videoconferencing over the IP Internet. On the one hand, the bandwidth of the link connecting a given participant to a videoconferencing session may support many video streams at bit rates of 500 kbps or more, especially when the participant is connecting to the rest of the Internet through a wireless link. On the other hand, the processing capacity of a participating site may not be enough to decode several video streams in real time. This paper explores the use of floor control over videoconferencing applications as a means to support videoconferences with many participating sites, but with a processing and communication overhead per site that is equivalent to a two-party videoconference. The main tradeoff we explore is the scalability attained with floor control versus the latencies incurred with floor transitions, which can be much too disruptive to the videoconference participants. We present a viable compromise in which only the video stream of the ''floor holder'' is sent to all sites, but the floor-passing protocol is such that it supports a brief overlap of the transmissions from the old and the new floor holder, such that the participants in the videoconference can instantaneously switch over to the media streams of the next speaker in an apparently seamless transition. Experimental results and implementation in a research video-conferencing system show that the proposed protocol can run effectively, eliminating race conditions, while maintaining scalability and reliability.\nGarcia-Luna-Aceves, J.

{"text": "Volvo Car Group, a Swedish premium car producer and one of the world's leading makers of drive systems for industrial and maritime applications, The Norwegian Public Roads Administration (Statens Vegvesen) and the Swedish Transport Administration (Trafikverket), authorities taking charge of the operation and maintenance of state roads and railroads, pilot initiative on road safety. The project is designed to generate and transmit information from individual vehicles to a cloud-based system.\nThe use of sensors can be traced back more than a century ago, and they had come in various forms and used in several different applications. The first man-made sensor was the thermostat which came in the market in 1883, infrared sensors have been around since around the late 1940s, and other forms have been invented since, including wireless network sensors. WNS are autonomous kinds of sensors that are commonly used to monitor physical or environmental conditions.\nThe idea is to have the vehicle send real-time data about road conditions to the cloud-based M2M platform and the information can then be passed on to nearby vehicles alerting them about these road hazards. For example, when the car sensor detects an icy, slippery area, this information will be transmitted to Volvo Cars' database through a mobile network and a warning is automatically sent back to the network so that warning details can be sent to vehicles coming near the area, making it possible for them to avoid it or take a different route when necessary. The application in the car will also adapt to the warning given and match its severity level based on its speed and current road condition.\nAccording to Erik Israelsson, project leader, cooperative intelligent transport system at Volvo, \"The pilot is one of the first practical examples of the way communication between vehicles over the mobile network enables vehicles to 'speak' to each other and with the traffic environment. This can contribute to making traffic safer,\"\nVolvo currently has fifty cars deployed for testing and may substantially increase its number in the winter season. Volvo is also the first to link is built-in car sensors to its cloud-based database in an effort to make both driving safer and road maintenance more efficient. And Brazil being one of Volvo's fastest growing market globally, will definitely benefit from this once it is made available worldwide.\nLeadingQuest and Parlacom Brazil, one of the leading providers of cloud-based M2M Solutions in Brazil and the US, salutes Volvo Car Group for supporting this initiative. \"A cloud-based platform provides the mobility needed and intended for these kinds of applications since it does not require infrastructure.\" said Clovis Lacerda, CEO of LeadingQuest and Parlacom.\nWith the recent taxation regulation on M2M devices in Brazil, Mr. Lacerda believes that the country is at its best position right now to embrace such initiative as road traffic crashes is the leading cause of hospitalization, death and injury in the country. He further emphasized that being CEO of one of the largest providers of cloud-based M2M solutions in Brazil, Parlacom has a very strong foothold in this market given its dedicated connectivity with major mobile networks and carriers in Brazil.\nErik Israelsson said that the strategic focus on connectivity within our new scalable product architecture paves the way for more cloud-based safety solutions, and Mr. Lacerda unquestionably agrees with this.\n© 2013 Parlacom, All Rights Reserved", "label": "Yes"}

{"text": "In a bid to rival Ford's Microsoft-powered Sync service, General Motors is reportedly in talks with Google to use its Android mobile operating system to link phones to GM's OnStar information service.\nThe concept: allow users of Android-based smartphones to use OnStar features from their phone -- such as maintenance information or electric battery charge level, in the case of the upcoming Chevrolet Volt -- when they're not in the car, reports the Wall Street Journal.\nThe move makes sense for GM, which has watched rival Ford differentiate itself in the new car market with its Sync communications platform. That service allows drivers to link the car's entertainment system and navigation console to smartphones and music players such as the Apple iPod.\nDomestic automakers see the technology as a way to win back a generation of drivers that grew up with an affinity for high-quality Japanese imports.\nThe technology allows them to not only collect data, but generate revenue. The driver can receive navigation assistance, emergency help and diagnostic information, while the advertising partner can target consumers while they're in their car.\nFor GM, OnStar is a natural way to do this. The company's been using the connected service for years, and only now is repositioning it as an entertainment feature, rather than a vehicular life line. (The service carries a monthly fee.)\nIt's a win-win move for Google, too. While Google offers Google Maps Navigation on its top-tier Android smartphones -- which offers voice and receive turn-by-turn GPS directions -- an in-dash offering would allow it to cover the new, as well as the existing, car markets.\nRelated on SmartPlanet:\nThis post was originally published on Smartplanet.com", "label": "Yes"}

{"text": "Communication is by far the most important way to grow, survive, and build successful relationships as a person. When you are someone with a disability like a speech disorder communication to others and with others can be rather frustrating. There is nothing like being involved in an engaging conversation, it’s one of the things that make life fulfilling. There are several tech-savvy tools out there that allow speech-impaired individuals to be able to converse with ease with their, peers, coworkers, families, or whoever they may have a question for. Below we discuss three that are simple to attain and simple to use.\nThose with speech disabilities never have to worry about being mute or left out of the conversation with today’s modern technology. Text-to speech software like Notevibes allows individuals to type what they want to say into the device that they are using and the software will read it aloud. These types of software tools are not limited to one language, they can translate words in any language with human characteristics like pauses, male or female voices, different speeds, and pitches. Text-to Speech software can be used on more than just your computer. They can be used on any mobile device as there are text-to-speech apps as well.\nSimilar to text-to-speech software, chatbots are another form of software that can help those who have a hard time speaking, create a human conversation on the computer. The chatbots, however, can analyze questions and answers to the conversation on their own and the person on the receiving end has to choose an answer. Users can either communicate by voice or using the chat interface. The only issue that users seem to come across is when the chatbot misunderstands the context of the speech when trying to mimic human interaction. Chatbots are heavily used on phones and mobile devices. Those with speech disabilities can use them on programs like WhatsApp, Slack, FB Messenger, and more. This allows those with speech disabilities to converse with family, friends, and even people from around the world just like everyone else.\nAs a child not being able to communicate can be stressful and discouraging both at home and in the classroom. For children learning with speech disabilities, there are several augmentative communication apps that can ease the process. Augmentative communication devices are tools that children can use that come with different systems, and strategies to help them to communicate or to encourage them to talk. Devices like Pocket Go Talk may include pictures with different signs or sign languages, to help them communicate to others what they may want or need. If your child is a bit older and is interested in smartphones or tablets augmentative communication apps like communication for iPad or Touch Chat are available. Apps like these allow those who are speech impaired to text others by using symbols and natural-sounding text-to-speech filters. This allows them to have as much as normal teenage life as anyone else in their school or home environment.", "label": "Yes"}
{"text": "WIRELESS BROADBAND NETWORKS\nWireless broadband is a fairly new technology combining the two aspects i.e. “wireless” and “broadband”.\nCommunication channels (paths) are grouped into 2 basic categories- narrow band and broadband, depending on their transmission speeds:\nNarrowband or baseband are used for handling low data volumes since they provide low speed transmission rates and hence are adequate for low-speed devices like telegraph lines and low speed terminals. Commonly used for telephone voice communications and for data communications by the modems of PCs and other devices.\nBroadband or wideband channels are used when large volumes are to be transmitted at high speed. This data communication system handles high volume of data and can be used for high speed computer to computer communication or for simultaneous transmission of data to several different devices. There are different types of broadband access technologies, such as cable, DSL, powerline, satellite, and wireless.\nData can be transmitted through wired or wireless media. Wireless networks can cover wide geographic areas efficiently. Wireless is being adopted for many applications: to connect computers, to allow remote monitoring and data acquisition, and to provide a solution for environments where wires may not be the best solution. Wireless systems are typically slower than land-based, wire-line networks.\nBW is an emerging wireless technology that allows simultaneous wireless delivery of voice, data, and video. It provides high-speed wireless internet and data network access over large distances. BW is considered a competing technology with Digital Subscriber Line (DSL). It is generally implemented in metropolitan areas and requires clear line of sight between the transmitter and the receiving end. What is \"high\" speed is always a changing number.\nThrough BW, networks of varying sizes can be deployed in places where it would be expensive to run wires. Because trenches do not have to be dug, there may be less overall disruption and visual impact to communities. Particularly for rural areas, wireless technologies may enable less burdensome service at lower cost.\nBW falls into local and wide area categories:\nWireless Local Area Networks (WLANs), such as the Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) that is a high frequency network, transmit their signals within several hundred feet. WLANs are implemented as an extension to wired LANs within a building and can provide few meters of connectivity between a wired network and the mobile user. A person with a Wi-Fi enabled device such as a PC, cell phone or PDA can connect to the internet when in proximity of an access point.\nWireless Wide Area Networks (WWANs) such as WiMAX span several miles ensuring interoperability between devices, networks, and regions. WiMAX is defined as Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access.\nBesides BW, Bluetooth is another wireless technology for low-cost, short-range wireless links and transmission of digital voice and data between mobile PCs, mobile phones, and other portable handheld devices, and connectivity to the internet. Bluetooth is widely used for hands-free cell phone operation, including wireless headsets. It can also be used to transfer data between cell phones and computer.", "label": "Yes"}

{"text": "When businesses consider which communication channel to use when engaging customers, text messaging (SMS) is at the top of the list. Known as A2P messaging, this process of connecting with consumers via application messages is skyrocketing. To that point, 1.7 trillion SMS messages are expected to be sent by companies in 2018, according to Portio Research.\nThe reasons behind this growth? Simply put, A2P SMS is the ubiquitous, cost-effective, secure, trustworthy inevitable and direct channel for businesses to communicate with their customers. And, there is a wide range of use cases to back that up. But, just how much can this communication channel improve multichannel business and relationship practices?\nHere are five ways in which A2P SMS benefits the retail and ecommerce industries.\nIt’s stickier than email. Not only do some 7.3 billion people send SMS message regularly, but when users receive messages they also read them quickly. SMS has an open rate of 99% and 90% of consumers read an SMS within the first three minutes of receipt, while just 36A% average open rates for emails.\nFlexibility to reach one or many customers. When your business wants to keep a target group informed or you need to handle mass traffic, one-way messaging is available. But when you need bi-directional communication to create dialogue with your target group you can opt for the two-way messaging. In both cases, make a memorable campaign by using a specific number /short code or make it unique by using your brand name in the message header.\nA reliable customer lifecycle go-to tool. Variety of ecommerce platforms and A2P SMS create a unique synergy that gives customers the convenience and instant interaction. A2P SMS is used for authorization, authentication, product information, order notification, reminders, coupons, vouchers loyalty programs.\nAfter a customer is hooked, it can be a handy customer service tool. It’s a perfect vehicle when a call-back request is necessary, you want to offer account status information, a customer must make a service request or you want customer feedback.\nDuring the operations phase, texts are equally valuable. SMS offers a simple way for placing orders, password reset, delivery updates, stock availability reports and, of course, order, payment or shipment confirmation. It’s also worth mentioning that all of this can be done with the ability to track, making it easy to know whether customers are getting the message.\nThe simplest way to provide service notifications. A2P SMS is the most streamlined way to deliver service details in the retail/multichannel world. A consumer orders a product at the POS and registers with a cell phone number. Then a consumer receives a text when the product is ready for pick up. Straight to the point and no hassles.\nFast, safe and reliable. Top-end A2P providers can handle time- and business sensitive A2P messages through established direct connections to mobile network operators. In addition, fast delivery is a huge plus thanks to short latency and high throughput rates.\nWith the retail landscape shifting at a rapid pace, it’s imperative that companies in this space have a communication channel that can navigate those changes. Whether it’s the ubiquity of text messaging or it reliability, security and cost-effectiveness, A2P SMS is a solid choice.\nMargit Anglmaier is Vice President Corporate Communications at DIMOCO", "label": "Yes"}

{"text": "The impact of trust on the adoption of the Internet of Things (IOT)\nThe speed at which the internet has evolved — and continues to evolve — is nothing short of astonishing. Over the course of little more than a couple of decades, mass internet usage has rapidly shape shifted in both form and function.\nFirst, came web browsing and email capability via desktop computers. Then came the mobile web revolution, with the normalization of internet-connected phones, tablets and e-readers. Then, connected TVs, smartwatches and fitness trackers came onto the scene and once again revolutionised daily habits and lifestyles in previously unimaginable ways.\nAnd most recently, the so-called ‘Internet of Things (IoT)’ is once more pushing the boundaries of perception around both the individual and collective role of the internet.\nOften touted as the next significant technological revolution of our generation, the Internet of Things is already changing our homes, workplaces, and public infrastructures in pretty exciting ways. But for all the opportunity that it represents, a number of consumer concerns exist surrounding IoT. Especially in relation to connected home products.\nThe evolution of this latest wave of connected tech — and the valid concerns attached to it — has obvious relevance to retail industries. Let’s take a closer look at rise of connected tech, and consider what needs to happen to build trust among a sceptical consumer base.\nWhat exactly is the Internet of Things (IoT)?\nPut simply, The Internet of Things, describes the network of physical devices capable of communicating, exchanging data, and executing automated tasks.\nIn everyday terms, that basically means the development of useful, internet-connected products and systems, such as:\n- at home: heating thermostats that can be controlled remotely using mobile devices\n- in the shops: retail ‘beacons’ that use bluetooth to send automated location-based offers and alerts to passersby\n- in manufacturing: completely automated factories and warehouses, operated by a network of robotics, sensors and databases ‘talking’ to one another\nOn the face of it, this new horizon of connected tech offers an almost Utopian promise of untold efficiencies and improvements in the way that we operate as individuals, companies, public institutions and governments.\nAccording to a Business Insider study, 24 billion IoT devices will be used by 2020. That’s more than four devices per human on earth.\nThe trust problem that’s holding back the connected home market\nThe same Business Insider report also lays out some interesting trends in industry adoption of IoT powered products and systems. The top level takeaway is that the majority of IoT usage has been dominated by businesses and governments — but less so, by consumers in the home.\nFor instance, beyond the above mentioned use of IoT in manufacturing:\n- agricultural companies are using sensors to collect data for precision farming\n- doctors are increasingly adopting wearable tech to remotely monitor patients’ health\n- use of in-car trackers by insurance companies to calculate performance-based premiums has become commonplace\n- installation of smart meters in homes are allowing utility companies to accurately monitor power usage\nAlso, in the world of government, investment in IoT by urban planners is soaring, with an estimated 6 billion connected devices predicted to be used as part of city infrastructures by 2020. And of course, there’s the obvious use of connected technology in government defence, via drones and robot-operated weaponry and equipment.\nIn comparison, consumer appetite for IoT devices has been more mixed.\nWhilst the connected car market appears to have burst into life over the past couple of years, it’s in the home that some consumers are less convinced by the IoT revolution.\nChief among concerns are security and privacy. And understandably so.\nWhilst products released onto the market are undoubtedly impressive, many would agree that the Internet of Things is still in its infancy — with compatibility issues between devices still hampering user experience. And even more urgently, security issues and concerns loom large. And where security is a concern, so is privacy.\nNot surprising then, that many of us are still a little hesitant to have multiple devices in our homes — from fridges, to TVs, mirrors and wearables — that are capable of tracking and monitoring our every move. The potential threat posed, if that kind of power ever gets into the wrong hands, is obvious.\nBut besides ‘outsider’ infiltration of such data, the intentions of the actual product manufacturers and sellers are themselves under scrutiny, as brands face an uphill challenge in convincing consumers that they can be trusted to responsibly handle consumers’ personal data.\nThe fact is, many consumers still need reassurances that the immensely powerful positions companies now hold by owning access to such a wealth of personal data, won’t be exploited for commercial gain.\nWhat needs to happen to build trust in connected home products?\nIf retailers of connected home products are to win over concerned consumers, three major issues should be the focus of efforts…\nThe more open brands are about how they collect, use, and share consumers data, the more likely they are to cultivate trust.\nA set of transparent data and privacy policies should clearly communicate what data is collected from customers, how and where it’s stored — plus, any wider possible uses of that data.\nIn addition, customer advice on best practices for data protection, such as setting a secure custom password and using encrypted Wifi networks, should be promoted by companies to help reassure and educate customers.\nSecurity infrastructure investment\nIt seems that the newer the technology, the more vulnerable it is to security breaches and malicious attacks. In other words, in many cases the pace of technological advancement is outstripping the development of adequate cyber security solutions to support it.\nWith there already having been a number of infamous examples of connected tech being hacked, there are increasing calls for a standardised approach to securing IoT devices.\nCisco recently published its proposed framework, Securing the Internet of Things, in a bid to bring this about sooner rather than later.\nSupporting compatibility through consistent standards\nRelated to the previous point on improved security, is overall compatibility issues between connected devices. In short, the more fragmented and disjointed the communication between various devices and networks are, the more easily hackers are able to pick holes and do harm.\nBut on a more basic level, as far as consumers are concerned, the more popular connected home devices become, the greater the expectation will be to have them all talking to each other and seamlessly performing complex tasks at the user’s whim.\nAs this Wire article discusses, the need for a reliable and robust set of common standards is increasingly urgent, if brands are going to deliver on the kinds of experiences and lifestyles already being promised to consumers.\nThere’s no doubt about it, the age of connected technology and the Internet of Things feels like a genuine new dawn for how we will as human beings, individually and collectively, communicate and get things done in the future.\nHowever, it’s already not been without a few bumps in the road. Trust around privacy and security are chief among consumer concerns that are acting as barriers to mass uptake and everyday usage — as well as more basic teething problems related to compatibility and user experience between products.\nIt’s predicted that $6 trillion will be invested in IoT products by 2020. It's likely it will have an impact on our lives in yet unforeseen ways. Tackling the trust and security concerns is key to ensuring we fully embrace the opportunities.\nNever miss another update\nSubscribe to our blog and get monthly emails packed full of the latest marketing trends and tips", "label": "Yes"}

{"text": "People love video, wherever they get it – from a computer or TV. Until now, however, we receive one information through TV, the other – through a PC. Together with the world’s leading carriers such as Comcast and AT&T, Deutsche Telekom and British Telecom, Softbank BB and China Telecom, Cisco is developing new technologies that give TVs the interactive multimedia features of the Internet. On the other hand, purely television content is beginning to be transmitted through other communication channels to new user devices.\nWe like the term “visual networking” because it captures the hard fact that modern people no longer want to passively stare at the TV screen. Video is becoming one of the most important functions of the Internet and all other communication and entertainment services. Cable television operators such as Comcast and carriers such as AT&T are increasingly offering subscribers multimedia television services that link all types of content and all types of user devices together. These services are based on video technologies. We are at the very beginning of this journey, but today more and more operators are starting to use the IP protocol for video networks.\nThe use of television and video technologies in IP networks facilitates the introduction of video-on-demand (Void) services and virtual video recorders. New technologies allow the viewer to watch whatever he wants, at any convenient moment. In addition, it becomes possible to deliver to the TV screen all the abundance of information that is stored on the World Wide Web. This means you can watch YouTube video clips on your large plasma or LCD TV and share your photos with family and friends.\nIt is clear that the PC will remain the best way to run some multimedia applications, but the TV can display high-definition video. For multiplayer games, a large screen and high resolution, which is provided by television receivers, are best suited. Another example of the use of visual networks is an interactive chat on a television screen while watching a television program. Experience in the development of Web 2.0 technologies and social networks shows that we cannot predict which of the new applications will become the most popular.\nTherefore, the new generation of television workers must offer not only high-quality movies and TV shows, but also connect viewers to video content and a wide variety of electronic devices, Internet applications and multimedia programs. This is the essence of visual networks. People like not only the Internet, but also the home TV, so the video is gradually turning into the same “killer application” that will connect the TV world and the PC world into one. People want it, and we will give them that opportunity.\nDelivering video (especially high resolution) to the big screen is no easy task. Its complexity is an order of magnitude higher than that of tasks related to voice transmission over IP networks. Simply connecting your TV to a broadband network will not satisfy most users. The “last mile” of the Internet lacks sufficient bandwidth and does not support the specialized (and highly complex) mechanisms required to carefully process and transmit video signals over the network. And without this.\nit is impossible to maintain high quality video. Only the largest operators have such opportunities. As a rule, these same operators provide broadband channels for Internet access. Today they are actively expanding the bandwidth of their channels in order to deliver video content to subscribers. Thus, the leading operators have already started building visual networks.\nHigh definition television (HDTV) requires five times the bandwidth of a conventional definition digital signal. Therefore, the wider the bandwidth in the new television networks, the better. That is why we are developing new routers and switches, which have essentially become supercomputers for visual networks.\nBut bandwidth isn’t everything. As already discussed, high-definition video networks require complex control systems to maintain flawless picture quality and service reliability. These characteristics, commonly referred to as “quality of service” (Qi’s), are best implemented at the network level. Cisco offers all the tools you need to run the new visual networks seamlessly.\nThe task is not only to deliver the video signal to houses and apartments. It is not enough for a modern user to simply switch channels – he wants to have full control over what, where and when he will watch. Therefore, the network technologies of our subsidiaries Scientific Atlanta and Linksys help broadcasters harness the power and power of the Internet to support video-on-demand services, virtual digital video recorders, and interactive services that include connection to personal computers and other home electronic devices.\nWe asked our TV service provider customers what their top priorities were to address first. In response, we heard very unexpected things. First, they all started talking about the gateway. Today, many people use a modem that is not widely compatible to receive broadband services. The only function it supports is connection to a personal computer. Therefore, we set ourselves the task of developing, together with operators.\na “home gateway” – a new type of device that will not only give the user a broadband channel, but also help connect him to all home devices, including TVs, music systems, game consoles, etc. Our first home IP gateways were showcased at CES-2008 and will be on the market soon. Their main goal is to make it easier to access the Internet and deliver any content and services to all home devices. Broadcasters are very fond of such gateways because they allow broadcasters to provide millions of users with a vast array of new entertainment and communications services.\nAnother new development from Cisco is a hybrid set-top box that not only supports analog, digital, high-definition television, and video-on-demand services, but also provides viewers with access to video streaming services offered on Web sites. Now this content can be delivered to both PC and TV, which is why the set-top box is called “hybrid”. Like the gateway, the new set-top box completely changes our understanding of television. The telecommunications company will no longer be a telephone, cable and broadband company, but will be able to provide the subscriber with all services at the same time. The main thing is to make these services simple and attractive. For this, new home gateways and hybrid set-top boxes are being developed.", "label": "Yes"}

{"text": "How to Choose the Right RF Power Amplifier?\nRF power amplifiers play a crucial role in RF communication systems. Similar to other amplifiers, RF power amplifiers amplify small microwave signals to achieve high-power output. Due to the many important features and specifications of amplifiers, selecting the right one is a challenging task for engineers. In this guide, let's explore key indicators for RF amplifiers and learn how to choose the right one for your application.\n1. Operating Frequency and Bandwidth:\nOperating Frequency: The number of periodic changes in a signal, usually measured in Hertz (Hz). For RF power amplifiers, it is the frequency of the input signal and the frequency at which the amplifier should operate within its working bandwidth.\nBandwidth: The range of frequencies within which the RF power amplifier can operate effectively, typically measured in Hertz (Hz). It indicates the amplifier's capability to efficiently amplify signals over a specific frequency range.\nThe chosen bandwidth should encompass the frequency range of signals designed for transmission to ensure optimal performance across the entire frequency spectrum. The selection of the working bandwidth directly influences the amplifier's compatibility in different systems and applications. A broader bandwidth often makes the amplifier more versatile, allowing it to adapt to signals of various frequencies. For instance, if your application requires coverage in the frequency range of 1 GHz to 2 GHz, selecting an amplifier with a center frequency within that range, such as 0.5 GHz to 2 GHz, along with sufficient bandwidth, is advisable.\n2. Gain and Output Power:\nGain: The ability of the RF power amplifier to amplify signals, expressed as the ratio of output signal power to input signal power, usually in decibels (dB). Gain can be positive, indicating an increase in signal strength, or negative, indicating a decrease. Amplifier gain varies with frequency, with higher frequencies corresponding to higher losses (gain is not linear across the entire frequency range).\nOutput Power: The signal strength generated by the RF power amplifier, typically measured in watts (W). For communication systems, sufficient gain and output power are crucial to ensuring signal transmission over long distances.\nWhile gain increases the strength of the input signal, leading to a corresponding increase in output power, it's essential to note that an increase in gain does not necessarily result in a linear increase in output power. This is because amplifiers usually have a saturation point, where the output power reaches its maximum and can no longer increase linearly. Beyond the saturation point, further increasing input power may cause nonlinear distortion.\nIn communication systems, appropriate gain and output power are key to ensuring signal transmission within a specific range, influencing communication distance and signal quality. In radar applications, sufficient output power is necessary for detecting targets and obtaining accurate measurement results.\nSelecting an amplifier with the right gain and output power ensures it provides sufficient signal strength while meeting system requirements. For example, an amplifier may have 20 dB gain and 30 dBm saturation output power, ensuring it meets your communication range needs.\nLinearity refers to the ability of an amplifier to maintain a linear relationship between the response of the output signal and changes in the input signal. In linear systems, the variation in the output signal should be proportional to changes in the input signal. Linearity is typically expressed as a percentage or in decibels (dB). Better linearity means the amplifier can maintain accuracy in the output signal over a wide range of input signal levels, while poor linearity may lead to signal distortion and nonlinear effects.\nThe nonlinearity of an amplifier is mainly manifested as distortion, including harmonic distortion and intermodulation distortion. These distortions introduce frequency components in the output signal that were not present initially, leading to a decrease in signal quality. When the input signal is large, the amplifier may saturate, meaning the output signal can no longer increase linearly, resulting in signal truncation and significant nonlinear distortion.\nIn wireless communication systems, linearity is crucial for ensuring the quality of transmitted data signals. Better linearity helps maintain signal accuracy and reduce error rates. In radar applications, linearity is critical for maintaining the accuracy and precision of target detection, especially in complex radar environments.\nFor example, an amplifier with -40 dBc (harmonic distortion at negative 40 decibels) indicates that harmonic components relative to the main signal in the output signal are at negative 40 decibels. This indicates that the amplifier can maintain a low level of harmonic distortion even at higher input power levels, demonstrating good linearity performance.\n4. Noise Figure:\nNoise figure is a crucial indicator measuring the introduction of noise by an RF power amplifier. It represents the additional noise introduced by the amplifier itself relative to the gain of the input signal. Noise figure is usually expressed in decibels (dB) and is defined as the ratio of output signal-to-noise ratio to input signal-to-noise ratio. The noise figure is related to the electronic components, circuit design, and processes within the amplifier. Excellent amplifier design can minimize the noise figure. The noise figure is also related to the operating temperature of the amplifier, as an increase in temperature can lead to an increase in internal electronic component noise. A low noise figure means that the amplifier introduces relatively small noise, contributing to maintaining high signal quality. In applications where signal quality requirements are high, such as communication systems, a low noise figure is crucial. If an amplifier has a noise figure of 3 dB, it means that the noise introduced by the amplifier is equivalent to adding 3 dB of additional noise to the input signal. Lower noise figure values, such as 1 dB or lower, indicate that the amplifier introduces very little noise and are suitable for applications with extremely high signal quality requirements, such as satellite communication and RF front-end.\n5. Impedance Matching:\nImpedance matching refers to the adaptation of impedance between the RF power amplifier and the input and output systems it is connected to, maximizing signal transmission while minimizing signal reflection. Ideally, impedance matching makes the input and output impedances of the amplifier equal to those of the connected system, achieving maximum energy transfer. Determining the impedance of the input and output systems connected to the amplifier is the foundation of impedance matching. The design of the amplifier itself also influences impedance matching. Impedance mismatch may lead to signal reflection, causing some signals to be reflected back to the amplifier, affecting signal transmission efficiency, and increasing power consumption. Impedance mismatch can also result in degraded amplifier performance, increasing signal distortion and reducing gain. If the output impedance of the amplifier is 50 ohms, and the system load impedance is also 50 ohms: In this case, impedance matching is ideal because the input and output system impedances are equal to the amplifier's impedance. This maximizes signal transmission, reduces signal reflection, and improves system performance. VSWR is an indicator used to measure signal reflection and is closely related to impedance matching. The smaller the VSWR, the less signal reflection, indicating better impedance matching.\n6. Power Consumption and Heat Dissipation:\nPower Consumption: The total amount of electrical energy consumed by the RF power amplifier during operation, usually measured in watts (W). Power consumption is the result of the energy loss produced as the current passes through the amplifier circuit, affecting device battery life, power requirements, and overall system efficiency. Low power consumption is crucial for applications relying on battery power or requiring high energy efficiency. Reducing power consumption helps extend battery life, decrease system heat generation, and aids in designing more energy-efficient systems.\nHeat Dissipation: The heat generated by the RF power amplifier during operation. When electrical energy is converted into heat energy, it is released into the surrounding environment in the form of heat. Heat dissipation is usually measured in watts (W). Controlling heat dissipation is crucial for maintaining the system's temperature within a reasonable range. Excessive heat dissipation can lead to device overheating, impacting system performance, lifespan, and potentially causing safety issues. Power consumption and heat dissipation are closely related because power consumption is the result of electrical energy being consumed in the circuit, and this energy is ultimately released into the environment in the form of heat. High power consumption typically leads to high heat dissipation, so design considerations include thermal management measures such as heat sinks and fans to ensure effective heat dissipation during high loads, reducing the impact of heat dissipation on the system. Optimizing circuit design, adopting advanced semiconductor materials and processes can improve power consumption efficiency. Dynamically adjusting power levels based on changes in system load helps reduce power consumption during light load conditions.\nIn conclusion, the choice of an RF power amplifier depends on many factors. Considering the key indicators mentioned above and selecting an RF power amplifier suitable for specific application requirements will help improve system performance and reliability.\nRF power amplifiers play a crucial role in RF communication systems. Similar to other amplifiers, RF power amplifiers amplify small microwave signals to achieve high-power outpu...\nIn the dynamic realm of the electronics industry, thermal management is increasingly critical.

{"text": "Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) require substantial data capacities for core and trunking services, much of which uses fibre/cable.\nThe fibre/cable is susceptible to reliability issues. For rural areas, microwave/satellite is typically used for backhaul. Satellite links can be a highly reliable backup, but can be expensive.\nFibre restoral requires the transfer of traffic to satellite link(s) for fibre outages. The satellite link OPEX can be reduced by using a bandwidth on-demand technology. The scale matters; the more circuits backed up, provides more favourable OPEX. Let’s examine a system level approach for cost-effective satellite-based restoral.\nDimension Bandwidth Pool Capacity\nIf a restoral service exists, there can be multiple satellite operators, multiple contacts per operator, multiple transponders across bandwidth segments with linear and circular polarisation, and partial and full transponders. The objective is to optimise capacity; not all of it may be required to provide restoral services.\nIn greenfield designs, capacity must be located on satellites that cover the areas with the fibre nodes. With large service areas, locating satellite capacity can be challenging. Available satellite footprints may not fully cover the service area. The bandwidth must meet the minimum system availability metric, which is usually 99.9%.\nProper dimensioning is largely based on the benefits realised by pooling satellite bandwidth resources. When resources are shared, statistical probability can be used as an “oversubscription” model where creating a bandwidth pool maximises the number of fibre node restoral sites on the same satellite resources.\nLocate Satellite Capacity\nSatellites with footprints covering all or most restoral sites are preferred. This is key to a good design, since the parameters of the ground equipment will be selected to match the satellite footprints with the goal of OPEX reduction.\nSpectrally Efficient Hardware\nThe best utilisation of satellite capacity requires efficient ground equipment. Proper design is performed using tools and hardware to maximise spectral efficiency.\nBandwidth optimisation techniques can be packet-based, using layer 2 or 3, such as IP header and payload compression, or the physical layer, with the transmission waveform. These techniques include ACM to reduce static link margin; advanced coding and modulation; carrier overlay (sometimes called carrier in carrier); and dynamic bandwidth management.\nAutomate Capacity Usage\nNext, the operational criteria is established – automated or with a person in the decision path.\nWhen a person is in the decision path, the event series typically involves the NOC personnel getting a call or alarm that a terrestrial link is down. The operator accesses the NMS, informs the network about the outage, and makes the hardware element changes to accommodate the outage sites with the most effective use of satellite capacity.\nFor automated outage recovery, the machine-to-machine connection detects/declares that a cable/fibre is down. The satellite backup network elements are activated without intervention by NOC personnel.\nFrederick Morris is the Vice President of Product Marketing at Comtech EF Data.", "label": "Yes"}

{"text": "New technology for gas flow measurement sets temperature record of 800 degrees Celsius -- ideal for use in deep drilling operations, nuclear reactor cores and outer space\nBy fusing together the concepts of active fiber sensors and high-temperature fiber sensors, a team of researchers at the University of Pittsburgh has created an all-optical high-temperature sensor for gas flow measurements that operates at record-setting temperatures above 800 degrees Celsius.\nAn artist's rendering of the fiber optic flow sensor. The glowing red sections along the optical fiber are the sensors--hundreds of these sensors can be packed into a single fiber. Image credit: Kevin Chen, University of Pittsburgh.\nThis technology is expected to find industrial sensing applications in harsh environments ranging from deep geothermal drill cores to the interiors of nuclear reactors to the cold vacuum of space missions, and it may eventually be extended to many others.\nThe team describes their all-optical approach in a paper published today in The Optical Society’s (OSA) journal Optics Letters. They successfully demonstrated simultaneous flow/temperature sensors at 850 C, which is a 200 C improvement on an earlier notable demonstration of MEMS-based sensors by researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory.\nThe basic concept of the new approach involves integrating optical heating elements, optical sensors, an energy delivery cable and a signal cable within a single optical fiber. Optical power delivered by the fiber is used to supply energy to the heating element, while the optical sensor within the same fiber measures the heat transfer from the heating element and transmits it back.\n“We call it a 'smart optical fiber sensor powered by in-fiber light',” said Kevin P. Chen, an associate professor and the Paul E. Lego Faculty Fellow in the University of Pittsburg’s Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering.\nThe team’s work expands the use of fiber-optic sensors well beyond traditional applications of temperature and strain measurements. “Tapping into the energy carried by the optical fiber enables fiber sensors capable of performing much more sophisticated and multifunctional types of measurements that previously were only achievable using electronic sensors,” Chen said.\nIn microgravity situations, for example, it’s difficult to measure the level of liquid hydrogen fuel in tanks because it doesn’t settle at the bottom of the tank. It’s a challenge that requires the use of many electronic sensors—a problem Chen initially noticed years ago while visiting NASA, which was the original inspiration to develop a more streamlined and efficient approach.\n“For this type of microgravity situation, each sensor requires wires, a.k.a. ‘leads,’ to deliver a sensing signal, along with a shared ground wire,” explained Chen. “So it means that many leads—often more than 40—are necessary to get measurements from the numerous sensors. I couldn’t help thinking there must be a better way to do it.”\nIt turned out, there is. The team looked to optical-fiber sensors, which are one of the best sensor technologies for use in harsh environments thanks to their extraordinary multiplexing capabilities and immunity to electromagnetic interference. And they were able to pack many of these sensors into a single fiber to reduce or eliminate the wiring problems associated with having numerous leads involved.\n“Another big challenge we addressed was how to achieve active measurements in fiber,” Chen said. “If you study optical fiber, it’s a cable for signal transmission but one that can also be used for energy delivery—the same optical fiber can deliver both signal and optical power for active measurements. It drastically improves the sensitivity, functionality, and agility of fiber sensors without compromising the intrinsic advantages of fiber-optic sensors. That’s the essence of our work.”\nBased on the same technology, highly sensitive chemical sensors can also be developed for cryogenic environments. “The optical energy in-fiber can be tapped to locally heated in-fiber chemical sensors to enhance its sensitivity,” Chen said. “In-fiber optical power can also be converted into ultrasonic energy, microwave or other interesting applications because tens or hundreds of smart sensors can be multiplexed within a single fiber. It just requires placing one fiber in the gas flow stream—even in locations with strong magnetic interference.”\nNext, the team plans to explore common engineering devices that are often taken for granted and search for ways to enhance them. “For fiber sensors, we typically view the fiber as a signal-carrying cable. But if you look at it from a fiber sensor perspective, does it really need to be round or a specific size? Is it possible that another size or shape might better suit particular applications? As a superior optical cable, is it also possible to carry other types of energy along the fibers for long-distance and remote sensing?” Chen noted. “These are questions we’ll address.”\nPaper: “Fiber-optic flow sensors for high-temperature-environment operation up to 800°C,” R. Chen at al., Optics Letters, Vol. 39, Issue 13, pp. 3966-3969 (2014).\nEDITOR’S NOTE: An artist’s rendering of the sensor is available to members of the media upon request.

{"text": "This paper develops a practical receiver suggested for cooperative systems using decode-and-forward transmission and compares it to the theoretical sub-optimum λ-MRC receiver model. The proposed receiver model adopts a channel blind λ-combiner and employs a practical estimation of the combiner's weight λ that changes adaptively for each received bit. The λ estimation process relies on a dynamic-blind calculation performed on the incoming bit stream using an approximate formula. The accuracy of the estimated values of λ against the numerical (optimum) values is verified by comparing their effects on the performance curves. Next, the performance of the proposed receiver is evaluated against the sub-optimum receiver using the closed-form performance equations then verified using an actual implementation of the decode-and-forward cooperative algorithm. The use of the proposed receiver is shown to have reliable performance under different channel assignments and provides adaptivity to channel variations without complexity or exaggerated signal processing.\n2.

{"text": "Leading Research for Future\nToward more competitive telecommunications satellites in the all-electric satellite age\nTwo improvements will be key to Japan’s success in gaining a more competitive position in the global telecommunications satellite market: reduced satellite mass and a greater number of onboard transponders. Progress in these directions will improve both the cost and profitability of telecommunications satellites.\nConventional satellites with chemical propulsion systems have a payload mass ratio of about 20% (ratio of payload mass to the satellite mass at launch). We have been striving to increase the ratio to about 40% by adopting the satellite propulsion systems solely with Hall effect thrusters and designing lighter weight power systems and improving heat-rejection technologies as a means of reducinging total satellite mass.\nThe autonomous operation of satellites will also enhance Japan's competitive advantage by helping to reduce relevant costs.\nThe Value of Our Research\nIn a typical chemical propulsion satellite, the propellant makes up nearly half of the satellite mass at launch. An all-electric satellite, which uses only electric propulsion systems, can significantly reduce the amount of propellant required. Less propellant makes it possible to increase the payload mass ratio by providing more leeway for the number of onboard transponders related to the profitability of communication satellite.\nWork in the U.S. and Europe on all-electric satellites has led to the successful development of powerful all-electric platforms to satisfy the increasing electricity demand accompanying the increase in transponders. However, they haven’t succeeded in designing lighter-weight power subsystems to increase the payload mass ratio beyond around 20-to-30% range.\nOur research aim is to position Japan's all-electric telecommunications satellites more competitively. We seek to do so by developing Hall effect thrusters and achieving a payload mass ratio of nearly 40% by making the light weight power subsystem (the solar paddles, batteries, and power control unit) the second heaviest component of the satellite after the propulsion system, and so on. This will enable us to gain a competitive advantage over the U.S. and Europe in the number of onboard transponders.\n- Realizing an all-electric propulsion system that relies exclusively on Hall effect thrusters and operating the thrusters for 15 years, the typical mission lifetime of a modern commercial telecommunications satellite.\n- Applying digital control technologies to get rid of heat spot generation and achieving a specific power of 50 kg/kW by miniaturizing and Lightweight the power control unit and other components of the power subsystem.\n- Developing a deployable thermal radiator with a high specific heat rejection capability of 75 W/kg at a temperature of 40°C and flat-plate heat pipe with an effective thermal conductivity exceeding 5000 W/mK to meet the requirements for high-density assembly and improved heat dissipation caused by increased transponders.\n- Realizing autonomous station-keeping and orbit maneuvering using GPS receiver capable of operating on geostationary/transfer orbit (conventionally GPS receiver installed on low-earth-orbit satellite only) to accomplish highly accurate, real-time orbit determination in high-altitude orbits. This will reduce operational costs for satellite operators by eliminating the need for ranging ground stations and helping them operate their satellites more efficiently.\n- Substantially reducing the weight of the power subsystem by developing high-energy-density batteries (initially with a specific energy above180 Wh/kg; ultimately, with a specific energy above 200 Wh/kg) and much lighter solar paddles (one-third of the conventional weight) with thin-film solar cells.\nHall effect thruster (BBM)\nThin-film solar cell array sheet", "label": "Yes"}

{"text": "Many businesses and entrepreneurs are moving from traditional telephone networks to more advanced systems like VoIP. VoIP services utilize Internet connection to make calls. Provided by the best VoIP service in Bethesda and other locations, they are a cost-effective option as the phone number you purchase can be used to call locally and internationally. It is also compatible with a number of devices, such as desktop computers, laptops, and smartphones. To know more about this digital innovation in communications, read on.\nVoIP phone service is an emerging technology that allows us to make and receive phone calls over the Internet.\nWe are familiar with some of its features as it can be seen in conventional phones. This includes voicemail, putting someone on hold, forwarding calls to an alternate number, fax, and IVR systems. However, there are also some things that set it apart from traditional phone systems.\nWith a traditional phone, voice calls travel via copper lines on the PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network). It uses circuit switching technology to complete the job. When a person makes a call over a regular landline, circuits are opened and it will only close once the call is dropped. Long-distance calls are expensive as these circuits remain open during the duration of the call. The farther the distance of the call, the more circuits must be opened since no other call can travel the same route.\nIn addition, conventional phones do not need internet connection to work. Thus, even if the power and Internet get knocked out, the phones will still work.\nVoIP phone service (like the ones offered by the best VoIP service in Bethesda) transmits voice calls over the Internet. It converts the human voice into data packets, and these packets are sent to their destination. Once delivered, they are assembled in the right order and converted into sound. Since VoIP needs the internet to operate, power and a working Internet connection must always be available to make calls.\nBusiness VoIP doesn’t cost as much as a conventional phone system. With traditional phone lines, it is necessary to install wires for each phone line. On the other hand, no separate infrastructure is required for VoIP phone systems – you can just use your existing internet connection. Also, since VoIP do not use circuits to complete a call, domestic and international calls are significantly cheaper.\nBusiness VoIP systems come with several benefits not found in a traditional phone. This includes:\nFree Phone Calls\nVoIP service brings significant cost advantage to businesses as calls made to other VoIP numbers are free of charge.\nVoIP phone service allows voice and video calls, email, instant messaging, file transfer, and more. It can be integrated with many enterprise applications to transfer data and ensure a more efficient process.\nVoIP solutions offered by the best VoIP services in Bethesda can be implemented quickly. No equipment or complicated wirings are needed, and companies can get started right away using their existing devices such as a smartphone, tablet, or desktop computer. They may also use an existing home phone provided that they have the appropriate VoIP adapter. Setup is done so fast that programs can always be finished within a matter of hours.\nPortable Virtual Numbers\nSince business VoIP service is not tied to a physical location, you can be reached even when you are traveling. Mobile VoIP is also ideal when relocating offices as the phone number works everywhere as long as there is a working Internet connection available.\nBoost Team Connectivity\nYour staff will be more connected with each other using a VoIP business phone system. This way, they do not need to concern themselves with how to reach someone. It improves productivity as individuals can take the call on any device, even if they are away from the office.\nWith VoIP phones, users can skip the process of installing new wiring and purchasing additional equipment.

The CMC, which consists of several collaborating mobile terminals (MTs) offers one potential solution for downlink content distribution and for the energy consumption reduction. Previous work on the design of CMC system mainly focused on the cloud formulation or EE investigation, while how to allocate the radio resource and schedule user transmission lacks attention. With the objective to minimize the system energy consumption, an optimization problem which jointly considers subchannel assignment, power allocation and user scheduling has been presented. We propose different algorithms to address the formulated problem based on the convex optimization technique. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed user scheduling and resource allocation algorithms can achieve significant EE performance. ...", "label": "Yes"}

{"text": "5G is expected to meet an important challenge: it will provide an end-to-end network and cloud infrastructure using network slicing. Among the network’s attributes are mobility, data speed, latency, and reliability. Each attribute applies to different areas and applications from the most elementary IoT to the sophisticated, such as Augmented/Virtual Reality.\nAmong 5G’s immediate apps that will run on a newly transformed network are radio networks using a licensed and/or unlicensed spectrum, small cells, macro LTE eNodeBs, fiber, microwaves, leased Ethernet, and satellite backhaul to name a few.\nThe following is a general and well-accepted grouping of use that will be supported by 5G:\n1. Enhanced Mobile Broadband (Hot Spots/Broadband access in dense areas, General Broadband Everywhere, Public Transport, Smart Office, Specific Events, etc)\n2. Connected Vehicles (Vehicle to Everything Communication, a sophisticated framework that targets security and accuracy based on ultra-low latency, speed, and higher data rates to promote high mobility, reliability, and scalability features)\n3. Enhanced Multi-Media (to target users of Media downloads, PayTV in 8K or 3D and in general all Broadcast, mobile TV, On-Demand, Live, etc)\n4. The Massive Internet of Things (targets the LowPowerWideArea of massive IoT apps for extended coverage and long-lasting battery life – this category comprises sensors, actuators, cameras, etc.)\n5.

{"text": "Towards Unified-storage-memory-enabled Mobile Devices\nDescriptionNon-Volatile Memories (NVM) can serve as both the main memory and the storage, which makes it possible for a unified management of NVM for both storage and the main memory. While there are attempts to utilize unified-storage-memory to improve the performance of servers, unified-storage-memory has not been explored for mobile devices. We find that unified-storage-memory has potential to significantly improve the performance of mobile applications and improve the overall user experience. However, designing unified non-volatile memory management for mobile devices comes with significant challenges from three unique characteristics of mobile applications. First, a large percentage of read/write accesses on mobile devices are small in size. Under unified-storage-memory, the data movements between the main memory and the storage can be significantly reduced as they are on the same physical device. However, small-size data movement could induce significant overhead hence calls for new solutions. Second, mobile applications constantly perform sync operations to maintain data consistency in the case of power outages. These operations could benefit from the non-volatile main memory of the unified-storage-memory architecture and the application-transparent management of NVM. Third, mobile applications are user-experience- critical when they are in the foreground. Hence, the foreground applications should be prioritized under unified-storage-memory architecture by a carefully-designed memory/storage management scheme. Considering the opportunities and challenges brought forward by these mobile application characteristics, this project proposes a novel unified-storage-memory framework for mobile devices. The proposed framework synergistically combines unified-storage-memory’s features and mobile applications’ characteristics to improve the user experience and performance of mobile devices. First, we profile mobile application execution on unified-storage-memory. Foreground/background aware memory management schemes, as well as dynamic memory/storage management schemes will be exploited to improve performance and reduce power consumption for mobile devices. Second, targeting efficient application execution on unified-storage-memory, we explore persistent application execution on unified-storage-memory and granularity-aware application launching over unified memory. Finally, we propose application-aware I/O schemes for unified-storage-memory, considering the specific characteristics of mobile devices, including mobile cache file management and data-intensive- device management. Unified-storage-memory could play an increasingly important role for mobile devices in the upcoming decade. The success of this project will promote the application of the new architecture of mobile devices. High performance, low power consumption, and long device’s lifespan can benefit many mobile users. The success is highly critical for Hong Kong to drive its new wave of innovation and technology in the mobile computing era.\n|Effective start/end date||1/01/23 → …|", "label": "Yes"}
{"text": "Just like in any sectors, the mobile sector (and the messaging providers in particular) use a lot of terms and neologisms to describe its processes and technology. To ease understanding, we have compiled here a list of the most used terms in the mobile and messaging business:\nApplication-2-Person (A2P) is the process of sending text messages to a mobile subscriber from an application as opposed to sending a text message from a phone.\nThe usage of a combination of numeric and alpha characters (0-9, a-z, A-Z, _) as the sender of the text message. It can be customized to reflect a brand for example. Receiving a text message from a Brand name as opposed to a long unrecognizable number is a more professional and efficient way to reach customers. However, the recipient of the text message cannot reply to a message sent with alphanumeric sender ID.\nBinary messages are messages that require special encoding to overcome the character limitation of the SMS. Binary messages are used for characters in languages such as Arabic, Chinese, Korean, Japanese or Slavic languages (e.g., Russian), as well as for sending ringtones, photos, or in WAP Push messaging.\nConcatenated messages are messages that require special encoding to overcome the character limitation of the SMS. In practice, you can send text message which exceed the character limit of a normal SMS, and these long messages are split into smaller messages by the sender and then recombined at the receiving end. However, each message is billed separately, as it is technically more than one message sent through the networks.\nDLR is a feature of SMS MT that enables delivery reporting for every text message sent. It is sourced directly from the handset.\nUsually a predetermined numeric sender ID in a standard MSISDN format, which cannot be customized or changed.\nThe flash message service enables you to send a message that will appear on the recipient's mobile screen. This means that your recipient does not need go to the mobile phone inbox to read the message. This type of messages is very useful for prompt notifications.\nHLR Lookup (Home Location Register) is a query to a central database that contains details of each mobile phone subscriber that is authorized to use the GSM core network. This feature is very useful to cleanup a database of number before sending an SMS campaign, by knowing if a number is still active or not. It is also used to know which target subscribers are currently roaming and therefore estimate the cost and impact of sending an SMS to this subscriber or not. The HLR Lookup feature has a very low cost and therefore can be extremely valuable in order to maximise the effciency and costs of sending an SMS.\nHypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is a communications protocol for information transfer on the intranet and the World Wide Web.\nAn International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI) is a unique number associated with all GSM and UMTS network mobile phone users. It is stored in the SIM card and is sent by the phone to the network.\nA mobile network operator (MNO) is a telephone company that provides services for mobile phone subscribers.\nA mobile message routed from an end user's mobile device and delivered to a mobile phone or an application.\nMobile Number Portability (MNP) enables mobile phone users to keep their existing mobile number when switching from one mobile network operator to another.\nIn short, MSISDN means the mobile number. It is a number uniquely identifying the subscription to a GSM or UMTS mobile network.\nA mobile message routed from a client or an application and delivered to the end user's mobile phone.\nA mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) is a company that provides mobile phone service but does not have its own licensed frequency allocation of radio spectrum, nor does it necessarily have the entire infrastructure required to provide mobile telephone service.\nDefault sender type of SMS message in standard MSISDN format. Recipients can reply to messages with a numeric sender ID (2-way messaging)\nA feature of SMS-MT that sends over-the-air configuration messages, such as software updates, configuration settings and security locks.\nPerson-2-application (P2A) is the process of sending mobile messages from a mobile user to an application. This definition is often used to define enterprise messaging.\nPerson-2-Person (P2P) is the process of sending mobile messages from one mobile user to another. This is the usual traffic between subscribers of mobile operators.\nService Level Agreement (SLA) is the part of a service contract that formally defines the level of service and commitment of a each parties.\nThe short message peer-to-peer protocol (SMPP) is a telecommunications industry protocol for exchanging SMS messages between SMS peer entities such as short message service centers (SMSCs). This protocol is usually used for larger infrastructures handling large volumes of SMS. The simpliest alternative for smaller organizations or structures is to use the HTTP protocol.\nAn SMS aggregator is a mobile telecom company with multiple agreements with operators to send and receive data in and out of the operator's SMSC, acting as an intermediary between organizations (i.e. content and brand owners) that want to interact with end users by means of their mobile phones, and mobile network operators.\nSMS hubbing is a new structure for international SMS traffic, reshaping international mobile inter-operability by implementing hubs to intermediate SMS traffic and offer a larger SMS coverage. The GSM Association (GSMA) found in SMS hubbing the solution to a problem that limits the continuing growth of international SMS, culminating with the development of SMS hubbing trials in 2006, part of the Open Connectivity project. This initiative created a new structure for international SMS interoperability, as well as developed standards and requirements that SMS hubs should follow. Regardless of the maturity of the operator or number of subscribers, each subscriber expects to be able to send an SMS to other subscribers, regardless of country and mobile network.\nA short message service centre (SMSC) is an element of mobile telecommunications networks which delivers SMS messages.\nSignaling System #7 (SS7) is a set of telephony signaling protocols which are used to set up most of the world's public switched telephone calls, also used in mobile messaging, prepaid billing and other applications.\nTwo-way messaging is the system that incorporates both outbound (MT) and inbound (MO) SMS into one featured service.\nUDH (User Data Header) is a part of the SMS that provides instructions to the receiving handset about the type of message being sent.

{"text": "An early mantra of our field was “power electronics inside,” a take on a popular tagline from a major electronics company. Power electronics continues to be an infrastructure and internal technology—throughout the grid, integral to our computers and devices, essential in motor drives, embedded in our cars and appliances, actively managing renewable energy systems, and performing an unlimited range of vital functions. Even though power electronics may not be familiar to the average person, today’s users are more and more likely to interact directly with power electronics equipment. They have many chargers and power supplies for mobile phones and rechargeables. They use flat panel displays and compact audio systems. They purchase lamps and lighting with built-in power conversion and HVAC systems with variable-speed drives. They might have an electric car. They see the growth of electrical energy applications. Admittedly, the interactive experience is not always great. For example, nearly every device needs a different power supply, leading to too many wires ( Figure 1 ), which users rarely appreciate. Human-centered design for power electronics is emerging as an important frontier in our field. This article gives a few examples and hints about the needs and opportunities.", "label": "Yes"}
{"text": "Welcome to an expert’s guide on understanding the nuances between clientless and client-based VPN access methods. In this comprehensive article, we will delve into the differences between these two approaches, providing valuable insights and practical examples to help you make an informed decision for your specific needs.\nWhat is a VPN? Before we explore the intricacies of clientless and client-based VPN access, let’s begin by understanding the fundamental concept of a Virtual Private Network (VPN). A VPN establishes a secure and encrypted connection between your device and a private network over the internet, granting you access to resources as if you were directly connected to the network physically.\nClientless VPN Access\nClientless VPN access allows users to connect to a private network without installing any additional software or dedicated VPN client on their devices. Instead, users access the VPN through a web browser, utilizing a web portal or gateway provided by the VPN service.\nKey benefits of clientless VPN access:\n- Simplicity and Ease of Use: Accessing the VPN via a web browser makes it incredibly convenient for users, as it eliminates the need for software installation or administrative privileges.\n- Accessibility: Whether you’re using a public computer or a device you don’t fully control, clientless VPN access enables you to securely connect to the network without limitations.\n- Security: Clientless VPNs employ robust encryption protocols such as SSL/TLS to ensure the confidentiality and integrity of data transmitted between your device and the private network.\nClient-Based VPN Access\nIn contrast, client-based VPN access necessitates the installation of dedicated VPN client software on users’ devices. This software establishes a secure tunnel between the user’s device and the private network, facilitating secure access to resources and services.\nKey advantages of client-based VPN access:\n- Versatility and Advanced Features: By utilizing a dedicated VPN client, users gain access to a wide range of configuration options and enhanced security features. This includes advanced encryption protocols, split tunneling, network roaming, and more, providing greater control and flexibility over the VPN connection.\n- Performance and Efficiency: Client-based VPNs often offer superior performance and efficiency due to their ability to optimize data transmission. This results in faster and more reliable connections, making them ideal for scenarios requiring continuous access or simultaneous connections across multiple devices.\nChoosing the Right VPN Access Method\nWhen deciding between clientless and client-based VPN access, it’s essential to consider the following factors:\n- Accessibility: If you frequently use public computers or devices where software installation is restricted, clientless VPN access is the preferred choice due to its browser-based nature.\n- Security Requirements: While both options provide secure connections, client-based VPNs generally offer more advanced security features. If you require additional security measures or need to comply with specific regulations, a client-based VPN may be more suitable.\n- Performance and Features: If performance and advanced features are paramount, opt for a client-based VPN. It provides greater control, customization options, and enhanced speed and efficiency.\nIn conclusion, understanding the distinctions between clientless and client-based VPN access empowers you to choose the most appropriate method based on your unique requirements. Whether you prioritize simplicity, accessibility, advanced features, or performance, each approach has its advantages. By considering your needs and the context in which you’ll be using the VPN, you can make an informed decision that ensures secure and reliable remote access to private networks.", "label": "Yes"}

{"text": "Have you ever imagined the possibilities of having more than one phone number on your mobile phone?\nYour mobile SIM card came with a dedicated mobile phone number, and ask pretty much anyone how many phone numbers you can have on a SIM card and the answer will be one; one SIM, one number.\nThe truth is a SIM is actually able to manage two unique mobile numbers but through new breakthrough technology pioneered by RIPTec Ltd, you can now make and receive calls on as many numbers as you need, more importantly these numbers can be; mobile of fixed and national or international.\nSo why don’t mobile operators want us to have more than one number on our mobile phones? The answer is quite simple – revenue. It is estimated that there are 14.2 million people in the UK alone who carry two mobile phones around with them. That is income from two phones and two mobile contracts as opposed to just one, equating to billions of pounds.\nImagine the savings and freedom from not having to carry and maintain a second phone around but being able to combine a business phone and even a home phone, all into one mobile device.\nJust adding your home phone number to your mobile and cancelling your home line, will save a fortune, but more importantly by making your home line mobile instead of set to a static point, you’ll no longer have to wait in for that call from the family or have to rush home to make an important one. Your home line can move around with you allowing you to make and receive calls where ever you are. Calls from the home number can even be pushed to multiple mobile phones at the same time so all members of the family can receive calls and you can even have 3 way conversations whether at home or not!\nThe sheer cost and inefficiencies of carrying a work phone around with us, is incredible. It is often a phone we don’t like and having to keep it charged and remembering how to use it, can be a real hassle. Simply adding a work phone number to a personal mobile phone and seamlessly being able to make and receive calls on that number is truly liberating. With all business calls being billed directly to the company there is no longer the end of month re-imbursement factor and the tying up of accounts staff plus the company itself saves on supplying phones and SIMs, managing phone numbers and dealing with breakages. In addition, if your company operates a PAYE scheme you can benefit from tax breaks and lower cost handset pricing to give you the latest technology you love, at the lowest cost.\nOn initial presentation the thought of replacing the trusted desk phone with mobile phones seems alien, but it is a trend that will flourish and for obvious reasons. How many times do you wander away from your desk only to be dragged back as your desk phone starts to ring? Using a mobile you just carry on walking! Being tied to a desk and having to take calls there is actually not that efficient and mobile users love the fact that they can be anywhere in the building whilst speaking with suppliers and customers.\nIn a recent survey not one person said they utilised the phone book on their desk phone and all agreed making calls from the mobile is actually easier and faster. When asked about ergonomics and comfort not one person had any complaints regarding mobile calls, some citing they were often on calls for extended periods with no issues. Modern features including extension ‘hot keys’, presence, voicemail, do not disturb, call transfer, call recording and conference calls are all readily available on the mobile phone making it the appliance of choice for many people.\nFor a business the advantages are many. In a traditional telephone set up there are several areas that could cripple all office phones including power cuts, internet degradation and phone line outages. Mobile phones provide multiple independent points of connectivity to the company’s phone system and are unaffected by any of the normal issues. Mobile phone replacement in the event of breakage is seamless and requires no external maintenance, set up or engineering.\nCompany moves, expansions and departmental staff changes are simple, again with no technical intervention required. Indeed in the event of a major catastrophe like a fire, the company’s phone system will continue working and staff will be able to make and receive calls from wherever they have been displaced to.\nSetting up a remote workers telecommunications has always been fraught with issues normally centered on their internet, yet utilising mobile phones, the user can be operational within a matter of minutes with no technical assistance or third party intervention.\nIt doesn´t take a genius to calculate the potential savings for a business when you remove the cost of desk handsets, cabling, routers, internet connections and maintenance. Mobile phones are maintenance free, incredibly simple to deploy and manage and users not only prefer using them but are actually more efficient.\nFixed line numbers are really important in business. They identify you as a larger business as opposed to a ‘one man band’, they are free or low cost to call, and they can identify you as being local, even when you might not be. Many larger companies use different phone numbers for different parts of their business or within publicity to better measure marketing response. Historically a small business or tradesman has been unable to take advantage of fixed line numbers because the nature of the work means that they can´t ‘sit by the phone’. By putting the fixed line number on the mobile it instantly gives the small business the same capabilities as the larger company, putting them in a much more competitive position, and ensuring they are unlikely to miss any calls.\nSurvey after survey has proved that people are more likely to respond or call back when the phone number is a local fixed line number. This is never more apparent when making international calls. Users can attach local international fixed line numbers to their mobile service and simply call. Recipients see a local number and are happy to respond or even call back knowing they will only be charged at local rates even though the call is being made to a mobile phone in an overseas country!\nThe world is full of ‘Road Warriors’, the technical support staff, engineers and salesman who maintain an important role on the road. Many know the frustration of running late due to traffic, being lost due to poor directions or any number of reasons they need to contact the next appointment. For the majority they don’t have a company mobile and not wishing to give away their personal mobile number need to make contact via ‘Mandy’ on reception, a cumbersome and highly inefficient form of communication. By putting the company’s main business number on their mobile phone they can make direct contact with the next appointment whilst keeping their personal number private.\nConversely, there are many companies who allow their employees to use their personal mobile phones for business, reimbursing them at the end of the month for any calls made. Whilst initially it might seem economic, the reality is it is often more expensive with bill inaccuracies, but much more importantly the company loses direct touch with the customer. The company has no control or feedback over the calls made to each customer and the customer’s main ‘touch point’ is to an employee’s personal mobile which is potentially dangerous, particularly if the employee leaves the company.\nYou have many personalities; family, friends, social, work and in this permanently connected world you have many means of portraying yourself, email, IM, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and so on. Direct phone contact is more limited as in many cases you just would not want to give out your personal mobile number, but imagine if you had a different phone number for the various parts of your life.\nMany of us have different email addresses for the various parts of our lives and we happily compartmentalise and manage these emails on a daily basis. By utilising multiple phone numbers in our lives we can do exactly the same, giving us more control, safety and cost efficiencies never before even thought of.\nSelling items online would no longer be a hassle as you could decide when it was convenient to answer calls or simply use an auto-responder on the number where appropriate.\nYou could have a separate phone number for social media occasions, to use for social calls and messaging whilst keeping your personal mobile number private.\nMatch.com and other leading dating sites claim some 22 million people are in search of a date. At the end of every successful search, is a date and often a lurch in to the unknown. In many cases contact numbers are exchanged prior to the date and for obvious reasons this is not always wise. Using a ‘dating phone number’, means you can keep your personal mobile number private, at least until you are comfortable to release it.\nMobile phones have revolutionised the way we live and combing them with multiple numbers is the next natural progression.\nOne Phone, One SIM, Many Numbers – how will you benefit?", "label": "Yes"}
{"text": "PowerOverEthernet.com is the definitive resource for Power Over Ethernet news, information and articles on IEEE802.3af (PoE), IEEE802.3at (PoE+), and emerging PoE techniques.\nEthernet CAT5 and CAT6 cables in their traditional role of transmitting high frequency data were missing a trick. It's electronically easy to separate DC from a high frequency signal, so why not use the existing wires to provide a DC potential at the other end of the cable? No mains power supply needed, ideal for cameras and many remote devices already connected via Ethernet cable. The 8 wires in the cable aren't very thick though and 100M is a long way. There's all sorts of specs to do with heating effect due to the resistance of the wires which need to be formally observed so the net result is two official standards, IEEE802.3af and IEEE802.3at, able to deliver 12.95W and 25.5W respectively at the PD.\nThere are a number of proprietary extensions to these specifications and some manufacturers don't use them at all. They may still offer the ability to transmit DC over the cables so it's still Power over Ethernet, just not necessarily compatible with the standards. Some products claim to be compatible with the 802.3at standard and offer up to 51 W by utilising all 8 wires in the cable, but strictly the 2009 standard prohibits the use of all 4 pairs in this way.\nPSE / PD / Midspan\nGenerally there are 3 types of devices used in a PoE environment. A PSE, a PD and a Midspan. Poe functionality can be incorporated into most Ethernet devices. The PSE (Power Sourcing Equipment) is simply a specially configured power supply designed to provide power safely to a valid PD (Powered Device).\nA simple handshake is used between the PSE and PD before power is allowed to flow from the PSE. The PSE is most often part of a switch or hub, or a variety of up/down converters which include an RJ45 connection and can usefully include a PoE facility. A Midspan is a type of PSE and in simple terms is typically a pass through RJ45 box which adds PoE power and acts as a PSE.\nHow Much Power?\nPerversely, the relatively low powers that can be drawn through the thin wired cable are far more useful today because devices are becoming more energy efficient.\nIEEE802.3af - maximum 12.95W at the PD.\nIEEE802.3at - maximum 25.5W at the PD.\nStepping outside the standards brings a large increase in power for special applications, with jumps to 51W, 60W and beyond with the current max at 100W. Mention should also be made of the HDBaseT Alliance who have developed the HDBaseT specification aimed at multimedia and offering up to 100W of power via PoE.\nMany higher power PSEs or midspans also include outputs that meet the lower power level standards.\nThe AG5200 PD module has a small package size that is ideal for applications such as IP Telephones, WiMAX access points, PTZ cameras and remote computer terminals\nSilvertel's new Ag6100-HP PSE in conjunction with the Ag5500 PD module provides an end-to-end solution that delivers 60W over Cat5/6 cabling\nSuitable for CAT5/6 cables, Silvertel's new 100W rated modules have been developed for the new generation of PoH/HDBaseT compliant products such as smart TVs, LCD displays, access control, etc\nThe PoLRE switches are designed specifically to handle any organization’s existing or future real-time voice requirements delivering a robust platform ensuring voice quality of service today and into the future. In addition to IP phones the PoLRE switch can support other IEEE 802.3af compliant devices such as IP cameras, speakers or wireless access points.\nThe Blackfly camera line combines Power over Ethernet, industry-leading affordability and a host of unique features for uncompromising value. Every Blackfly model comes packed with functionality designed to maximize performance and reliability\nThe controller is designed to fit into creative post production facilities, and includes attractive crystal look buttons that are designed for high reliability. The front panel can be removed to allow labeling of the customizable buttons. For world’s best illumination quality, all buttons are illuminated by both RGB and white LEDs so that a wider range of rich and clean colors can be displayed\nUnlike most Ethernet switches, the environmentally hardened CNGE28FX4TX24MSPOE is designed for direct deployment in difficult out-of-plant or roadside operating environments. Featuring a low-profile 1-RU high rack-mountable package, these units may be mounted within any standard 19-inch rack cabinet, and the high-capacity power supply for operation of the switch and PoE PSE is completely self-contained\nOptionally powered via PoE+ (IEEE802.3at) and similar to a DVR, the Aimetis E3200 requires no hard drive or software installation. And with no software activation required, the first camera is being recorded within minutes of unpacking the box\nThe RocketLinx ES7106-VB is an unmanaged Power over Ethernet Industrial switch with four IEEE 802.3af PoE ports, two Gigabit ports and 12/24VDC voltage boost\nThe Access 800® IP1 is an intelligent Power over Ethernet (PoE) solution that integrates all standard access control components – including ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 Corbin Russwin hardware, contactless reader, door status monitoring, and controller – into a single device.\nto receive our regular PowerOverEthernet.com newletter.\nPoE is Green\nIf you haven't heard that we're all supposed to save energy then you really might be on a different planet. And PoE must continue to expand it's reach on this planet because of that imperative alone. Sending power down the same cable as data makes too much sense to ignore - versus the alternative of trailing wires, remote power supplies, power management and maintenance. Of course there are practical limits to the amount of power that can be provided in this way (long, thin cables provide those practical limits) but as devices continue to be built to use less power then PoE becomes increasingly more viable.", "label": "Yes"}

{"text": "This brief presents an 8-to-16-Gb/s referenceless receiver with a stochastic continuous-time linear equalizer (CTLE) adaptation. The proposed stochastic CTLE gain selector (SCGS) achieves a maximum horizontal eye margin and avoids sub-optimal settling by utilizing sequential edge and data samples. The proposed SCGS detects the optimum CTLE coefficient with the weighted summation of the histograms obtained under various data patterns and channel conditions. The stochastic CTLE adaptation shares the deserialized edge and data samples used for the CDR. Therefore, it does not require additional hardware in the analog domain, achieving low power consumption. The golden weight of the SCGS is obtained through an epsilon-constraint weight searching algorithm. A prototype chip fabricated in 28-nm CMOS technology occupies an active area of 0.029 mm2. The measured CTLE adaptation behavior shows that the maximum eye width is achieved with the proposed SCGS. The prototype chip achieves BER over a channel with 14-dB loss at 8 GHz and consumes 17.7 mW at 16 Gb/s, exhibiting a power efficiency of 1.1 pJ/b.\n|Number of pages||5|\n|Journal||IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems II: Express Briefs|\n|Publication status||Published - 2023 Feb 1|\nBibliographical notePublisher Copyright:\n© 2004-2012 IEEE.\nAll Science Journal Classification (ASJC) codes\n- Electrical and Electronic Engineering", "label": "Yes"}
{"text": "Cuba's Internet speeds increased on Tuesday, and the country appears to be routing more traffic through a previously dormant undersea fiber-optic cable, according to Internet monitoring company Renesys.\nRenesys noticed last week that Internet traffic was being routed into Cuba by Spanish telecommunications company Telefónica through ALBA-1, an undersea cable that links Cuba to Venezuela. The project was completed around 2011, but Cuba had appeared since that time to be relying on three satellite providers.\nInternet connections via satellite are prone to high latency, a type of delay caused by the time it takes a data packet to complete the trip to the satellite and back, which can be as much as 70,000 kilometers. For Cuba, that lag time was about a half-second, but it began to shrink last week to about 400 milliseconds, indicating that the cable was being used.\nOn Tuesday, Renesys noticed that the lag time became shorter again, between 180ms and 220ms, wrote Doug Madory, senior research engineer.\n\"At 180-220ms, these paths suggest a pure terrestrial solution, based on subsea and overland cables -- the traditional Internet that nearly everyone else on earth enjoys,\" Madory wrote.\nMadory wrote that it is likely Cuban network operators changed their routing policies to make ALBA-1 the default path for outbound traffic from some networks.

The recent folding screen theme has a higher degree of attention.\nIs the folding screen a trend in the future of mobile phones, or is it a demand made by mobile phone manufacturers?\nA folding screen is a design that folds a larger screen to the size of the original phone. This design probably has several benefits.\nFirst, the screen is larger and more portable, which means more applications. For example, you can watch videos on a split screen; you can get a better game experience, and while you get a big screen, you can put it in your pocket like a mobile phone and it is easy to carry.\nSecond, the camera is two-in-one. Since the screen can be folded, the main camera can be used either for the current camera or as a rear camera, so that the manufacturer’s design or the user’s experience will be greatly improved.\nThird, the appearance is beautiful, more technology, which is of course an important reason why many people like to change their mobile phones frequently.\nThe screen size of the iPhone is constantly increasing, and to some extent, the increase in the screen of the mobile phone is indeed a trend. However, the real situation of the folding screen may not be as expected.\nFirst of all, is the folding screen mobile phone really portable? The size can be folded, but the weight can’t be folded. When we use it, the experience is getting better or worse. Now the weight of the mobile phone is about 200g, but currently The weight of the foldable phone is 380 grams, which is close to the weight of the original two phones.\nA 308 gram iPad mini (small size tablet). Even if it is rarely used at home, the most important reason is that it is tired with one hand and does not meet the habit of using electronic products such as mobile phones. It’s hard to imagine what it would be like to use a 380-gram phone for a long time. There are very few people using flat panels on the subway, and there are also reasons for this.\nSecond, the price is expensive. At present, the production cost of Samsung folding panels reaches US$180, far exceeding the production cost of traditional panels. The price of Samsung folding screen mobile phone Galaxy Fold is expected to be around US$2,000. Even by 2022, the production cost of folding panels will fall by half, but the average price of terminal phones may also be around $1,500. And this price is estimated to be unacceptable to most people.\nIn fact, the so-called folding screen technology is looking for a balance between user experience and price. Is it worthwhile for everyone to spend so much money on a technology that doesn’t improve the user experience perfectly? Perhaps it’s something we deserve to think about.\nCell phone accessories wholesale business can get high profits. But the market is fierce.

Then reconfigured DRBD to look at the new network attached to the second nic cards.

{"text": "Older machine vision systems are difficult and costly to upgrade, especially those based on RS422 and low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) type interfaces. Incompatible with most modern frame grabbers, these legacy differential systems can now be brought up to speed using the BitFlow Neon-DIF differential frame grabber. Designed on the latest PCI Express (PCIe) platform, the Neon-DIF will upgrade an older differential system to acquire images up to 32 bits at 85 MHz from an existing LVDS camera, providing greater control, plus the convenience of running on Windows 10 or Linux OS.\n“There are thousands of older differential systems today that handle basic processes at minimal cost, such as mail sorting, package handling, X-ray imaging, Focused Ion Beam, and Scanning Electron Microscopes. Unfortunately, users can’t upgrade the system’s PC to one featuring more powerful processing and a newer OS because the original PCI frame grabber is no longer available or isn’t compatible with a new PC,” explained Donal Waide, Director of Sales for BitFlow, Inc. “Our Neon-DIF frame grabber enables the user to save money by keeping the same LVDS line or area scan cameras, devices and application, yet upgrade their PC to use faster, more accurate image processing algorithms.”\nRather than PCI, the Neon-DIF is built on a half-size x4 PCIe bus interface that fits into the x16, x8, x4 and x1 slots found in today’s PCs. It installs fast and simple, bringing to an existing system a full set of new control signals and sync inputs for total camera and acquisition control.\nUpgrades BitFlow Road Runner and R3-DIF\nAlong with older PCI frame grabbers from other manufacturers, the Neon-DIF provides an upgrade path for users of BitFlow Road Runner and R3-DIF PCI frame grabbers. It has the same connector pin-out and is compatible with their cables.\nIdeal for Differential System OEMs\nBesides legacy situations, the NEON-DIF is a cost-effective PCIe choice for OEMs developing new systems featuring cameras or other devices that output differential data. The Neon-DIF can acquire from just about any device and efficiently DMA its data into host memory at rates of 528 MB/S.\nBitFlow SDK Support\nThe Neon-DIF is supported by the BitFlow SDK for both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows platforms. The SDK offers drivers, DLLs, and configuration utilities for people interested in using third party software. For those customers interested in developing their own applications, the SDK has header files, libraries, and example code for Windows XP/2003/Vista/Windows 7/10.", "label": "Yes"}

With the 2016 attack on video cameras and other IoT devices marking the largest distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack on record, IT and education heads need to ensure they can protect themselves.\nUniversities need to ensure their networks are prepared in terms of bandwidth and network and security protocols, with the increase in complex and connected devices. As university IT departments may never know just how many IoT devices are connected to their networks, experts have offered some basic advice on planning for IoT security.\nThe following steps should assist in helping establish a secure base:\n- Conduct a risk assessment. IT can perform an inventory of known connected technologies and conduct vulnerability scans.\n- Segment your network. Putting known IoT devices on a controlled network significantly reduces their risk of being compromised and limits any damage if they are.\n- Keep IoT devices updated. All IoT devices should be properly patched and regularly updated.\nWith this in mind, IoT has great potential in colleges and universities but like many innovative technologies it must be deployed strategically.

PLC provides broadband connection by using the existing mains, easing the connection of different devices. The medium access techniques recommended in the standards of PLC are OFDM, with and without a window in the transmitter, and Wavelet OFDM, based on a cosine modulated filter bank.\nIndoor positioning systems (IPS) provide a position fix for devices inside different buildings. Their use and applications have increasing scopes ranging from context data assisting/forwarding in museums, object tracking, marketing, etc. A common approach for IPS, is to deploy radio-frequency beacons inside the building and have a tag that collects the signals from those beacons to obtain the position fix.\nAlthough the PLC signal that travels on the cooper cables is of low power and does not irradiate strongly, some trace of it is still available in the air. Therefore, our working proposal is to investigate how and at which extent PLC signal could be used for indoor positioning. As a first goal, one will investigate the attainable accuracy of using PLC signals for IPS. Secondly, we will propose how to employ the PLC standard framing structure for positioning purposes. This will encompass both using devices that upconvert and transmit the PLC signal so that the positioning data that should be conveyed by the beacon signal comes directly from the PLC system. Thirdly, one will investigate the feasibility of doing the localization disregarding the mentioned device.\nFor achieving the above goals, specific communication channel models, machine learning, pattern recognition and signal processing techniques are necessary. Therefore, investigation effort is necessary to understand, propose and develop the relevant methods, algorithms and techniques that may impulse the envisioned scenario.\n|Departament:||Signal Theory and Communications|\n|Research Group:||Communications, Multirate Systems, and Biomedical Engineering|\n|Relevants projects on the area:||Project title: Reliable physical layer technologies for communications over electrical networks.

{"text": "In multihop wavelength division multiplexing systems, a connection between two communication nodes consists of one or more lightpaths. A wavelength conversion is required at the joint of two lightpaths if they use different wavelengths. Wavelength conversion incurs significant delay in data transmission, and overhead in connection setup. This paper discusses the problem of assigning wavelengths to a set of lightpaths such that the overall number of wavelength conversions in the system is minimized. The problem is formulated as the maximum clique-partition problem and an approximation algorithm is proposed to solve it. We also quantatively analyze the relationship between the number of wavelengths and the number of conversions required in the system. Extensive simulations have been conducted to demonstrate the reduction of wavelength conversions by employing the proposed algorithm.\n- Wavelength assignment\n- Wavelength conversion\n- Wavelength division multiplexing networks", "label": "Yes"}
{"text": "Unsteady Optical and Thermal Behaviour of Cross Compound Parabolic Concentrator with Solar Cell\nReason for embargo\nUnder indefinite embargo – no publisher permission.\nIn reality, a solar panel with concentrator is subject to variable sunlight radiation, wind speed and environmental air temperature in a day, accordingly the solar output power is changed in a wide range of 2W-13W, causing a degraded electric performance [1-3]. Thus it is necessary to characterise optical and thermal behaviour of a crossed compound parabolic concentrator (CCPC) with solar cell in its design stage to optimise its configuration. Presently, the CCPC optical and thermal performance characterisation is usually based on steady-state physics models, see [4-8], for example, thus ignored unsteady variation of air flow and heat transfer in concentrator. In this contribution, we investigate the optical and thermal performance of an isolated CCPC with solar cell from the solar panel in [6,7] by means of ANSYS CFX. The CCPC with solar cell is subject to a variable sunlight radiation intensity, wind speed and air temperature from 6am to 17pm a day which were measured in  on 20th March 2009.\n11th Photovoltaic Science Application and Technology (PVSAT-11), Leeds, UK, 15-17 April 2015", "label": "Yes"}

{"text": "In this paper, we introduce an optimal bias voltage searching strategy and maintaining method in BOTDA system based on dual sideband modulation. The system utilizes both up shifted and down shifted continuous wave light to generate Brillouin scattering light, while using the amplified pulsed light to boost the signal by stimulated Brillouin scatting effect. In order to obtain a clean Brillouin shifted curve along the fiber under test, the probe light must be in good signal to noise ratio. In addition, the intensity of shifted light should be stable as well. Therefore, we propose a novel control method of frequency shift in sideband modulation of a BOTDA system, which keeps the first order frequency-shifted light at its maximum signal to noise ratio and minimum light intensity fluctuation. We also implement static experiments to verify our proposed scheme. Strain/temperature tests were taken out to evaluate the performance of the BOTDA. Results showed that the resolution of BOTDA system could reach 13με/0.65°C at 50 km fiber cable with spatial resolution of 0.5m.", "label": "Yes"}

Field of the Invention\nThe present invention relates in general to a controlling method of an optical recording apparatus, and more particularly, to an optical recording apparatus and a controlling method of an optical recording apparatus, in which although a data recording operation on an optical recording medium may be temporarily stopped or paused by a user, the recording operation is automatically resumed exactly at a recording resume preset time.\n2. Description of the Related Art\nAn optical recording apparatus is a device for recording data on an optical disk using an optical disk driver. Typically, data is recorded on the optical disk in stream format, so that users are provided with images of the high quality and sounds.\nIn general, the function keys on the key input unit 110 include a play key 110 a to reproduce the data, a record key 110 b to perform data recording, a stop key 110 c to stop the process currently underway, a pause key 110 d to stop, temporarily, the process currently underway, an open/close key 110 e to open or close the tray 130, a rewind key 110 f, and a fast forward key 110 g.\nThe pause key 110 d is used to apply a signal requesting temporary stop of data recording to the optical recording apparatus, such that a data recording operation currently underway is temporarily stopped. In contrast, the stop key 110 c is used to stop the recording operation completely.\nWhen the user operates the record key 110 b on the front panel 100, a record request signal is applied to the optical recording apparatus, and as a result, data from external equipment is recorded on the optical disk. At this time, if the user needs to go somewhere for a while or the external equipment provides unwanted data, the user operates the pause key 110 d to pause the data recording operation.\nOnce the data recording operation is paused by the operation of the pause key 110 d, the optical recording apparatus is kept in pause state and does not resume the recording operation until the user applies a recording resume request signal to the optical recording apparatus by operating the record key 110 b.\nHowever, if the user does not return within time to resume the data recording operation and leaves the optical recording apparatus in pause state, or if the user forgets what he was doing and fails to resume the recording within a predetermined time, the user often loses data he wanted to record.\nAn aspect of the present invention is to solve at least the above problems and/or disadvantages and to provide at least the advantages described below. Accordingly, an aspect of the present invention is to provide an optical recording apparatus in which a user presets a recording resume time so that the data recording operation is automatically resumed at the recording resume time even after a temporary stop of the recording operation on the recording medium has been made by the user, and a controlling method thereof.\nTo achieve the above-described aspects of the present invention, a controlling method of an optical recording apparatus to record data in a recording medium, the method including performing a recording operation to record the data in the recording medium; applying a pause request signal to stop, temporarily, the recording operation; determining whether to set a record resume time; and if the record resume time is set while the recording operation is in pause, temporarily stopping the recording operation, and then resuming the recording operation at the record resume time.\nIf the user declines to set the record resume time, maintaining the pause state until a record request signal to resume the recording operation is applied.\nIn an exemplary embodiment, if a specific amount of time for the recording operation is allocated, the recording operation is performed for the allocated amount of time.\nIn an exemplary embodiment, the record resume time is set within a remaining time of the allocated amount of time.\nAnother aspect of the invention provides an optical recording apparatus to record data provided from an external equipment in a recording medium, the apparatus including: a pickup to record the data in the recording medium; a servo driver to drive the pickup; a key input unit to apply at least one request signal; and a controller to control the servo driver, wherein if a record resume time is input following the application of a pause request signal from the key input unit to pause the recording operation, the controller controls the servo driver to stop the pickup temporarily, and if the record resume time occurs, the controller controls the servo driver to drive the pickup.\nThe apparatus further includes a display to display designated information under the control of the controller, and if the pause request signal for temporarily stopping the recording operation is applied, the controller controls the display to show a message asking a user whether to set the record resume time.\nIn an exemplary embodiment, if the user declines to set the record resume time, the controller controls the servo driver to ensure that the pickup is maintained in a pause state until a record request signal is applied from the key input unit.\nIn an exemplary embodiment, the key input unit is a remote controller to send an infrared signal in correspondence with the request signal.\nAdditional aspects and/or advantages of the invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows and, in part, will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention.\nThe above aspects and/or features of the present invention will be more apparent by describing certain embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:\nReference will now be made in detail to the embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein like reference numerals refer to the like elements throughout. The embodiments are described below to explain the present invention by referring to the figures.\nThe matters defined in the description such as a detailed construction and elements are provided to assist in a comprehensive understanding of the invention. Thus, it is apparent that the present invention may be carried out without those defined matters. Also, well-known functions or constructions are not described in detail since they would obscure the invention in unnecessary detail.\nAs illustrated in\nThe DSP 240 converts data input to the optical recording apparatus 200 into digital data, and performs on the converted data a signal processing operation such as error correction to convert the data into a recording format. The CODEC 230 encodes the data converted into the recording format by the DSP 240, and decodes the encoded data. The spindle motor 270 rotates a loaded optical disk 200 a. The pickup 210 records a signal in the optical disk 200 a, or reads a recorded signal therefrom. The RF signal processor 220 filters and shapes the signal detected by the pickup 210 into a binary signal, and outputs it. The servo driver 250 controls the operations of the pickup 210 and the spindle motor 270.\nThe user interface 280 applies to the controller 250 a key operation signal applied by the user through the key input unit 110. As for the key input unit, the key input unit 110 of\nThere are certain types of key operation signals applied to the controller 250 through function keys shown in\nIf a record resume time is input after the pause request signal is applied from the key input unit 110 through the user interface 280, the controller 250 controls the servo driver 250 and stops the pickup 210 temporarily. As a result, the data recording operation currently underway stops temporarily.\nWhen the record resume time is provided from the user interface 280 and the time is reached, the controller 250 controls the servo driver 250 to drive the pickup 210 again. In this manner, the temporarily stopped data recording operation is resumed.\nIf the pause request signal is applied, but the record resume time is not input from the user interface 280, the controller 250 controls the servo driver 260 and ensures that the pickup 210 is maintained in pause state until the record request signal is applied from the user interface 280.\nUsing a generally known method, the user loads the optical disk 200 a to the optical recording apparatus 200 connected to a designated image source, and operates the record key 110 b. Then, the record request signal is transferred to the controller 250 from the user interface 280, and the controller 250 controls the servo driver 260 to drive the spindle motor 270. In this way, a recording data provided from the image source is recorded in the optical disk 200 a (S200).\nWhile the optical disk 200 a is recording the data, if the user operates the pause key 110 d, the pause request signal is applied from the user interface 280, and the controller 250 displays on the display 120 a message asking the user whether to set the record resume time (S210, S220).\nIf the record resume time is input from the user interface 280, the controller 250 controls the servo driver 260 to stop the spindle motor 270 (S230, S240) temporarily. The record resume time is recorded so as to allow the recording of the data to be resumed.\nIf the record resume time input from the user interface 280 has occurred while the data recording operation is being temporarily stopped, the controller 250 controls the servo driver 260 to ensure that the spindle motor 270 starts driving again, and the temporarily stopped recording operation may be resumed (S250, S260).\nIn operation 220, in the case that the user declines to set the record resume time, that is, if the user gives ‘No’ for an answer to the message provided to the display 120 by the controller 250, the message asking whether the user wants to set the record resume time, the controller 250 controls the servo driver 260 to stop the spindle motor 270 temporarily, thus temporarily stopping the data recording operation (S220, S240).\nIf the recording operation is temporarily stopped without the record resume time being preset, the controller 250 is maintained in pause state until the record request signal is applied from the user interface 280.\nAfter operation 250 and if no record resume time is recorded, if the user operates the record key 110 b, and therefore the record request signal is applied from the user interface 280, the controller 250 controls the servo driver 260 to drive the spindle motor 270, thus resuming the temporarily stopped recording operation (S280).\nAs may be appreciated from the above description of the an optical recording apparatus and the method to control the same, according to an embodiment of the present invention, when a user wants to stop temporarily during the recording process, the record resume time may be selectively set by the user to resume the recording correctly at a desired time.\nWhile described as used with an optical recording apparatus, it is understood that the present invention may be used with magnetic and/or magneto-optical apparatuses.\nWhile described as a record resume time, it is understood that other, non-time based events may be used to resume, automatically, recording of the data. Thus, accordingly to aspects of the invention, recording may be resumed if an eject button is pressed or if the power button is turned off to ensure that the recording is completed.\nAccordingly, although the user may not return within time to resume the data recording operation after leaving the optical recording apparatus in a pause state, or the user forgets to resume the recording within the time to resume the data recording operation, loss of data for recording may be prevented.\nThe present invention may also be embodied as computer readable instructions on a computer readable recording medium.

{"text": "Call recording software records telephone conversations over PSTN or VoIP in a digital audio file format. Call recording is distinct from call logging and tracking, which record details about the call but not the conversation; however, software may include both recording and logging functionality.\nCall recording is becoming increasingly important, with technology changing and working habits becoming more mobile. Addressing mobile recording is now the subject of many financial regulators' recommendations. It is also increasingly important to business continuity planning, especially for pandemic planning.\nThe actual recording takes place on a recording system with software for the management of calls and security of recordings. Most call recording software applications rely on an analogue signal via either a call recording adapter or a telephony board.\nDigital lines cannot be recorded unless the call recording system can capture and decode the proprietary digital signalling, which some modern systems can. Sometimes a method is supplied with a digital private branch exchange (PBX) that can process the proprietary signal (usually a conversion box) before being channeled to a computer for recording. Alternatively a hardware adapter can be used on a telephone handset as the digital signal is converted at that point to analogue.\nVoIP Recording is usually restricted to streaming media recorders or software developed by the softphone or IP PBX creator. There are also solutions which use packet capture technology to passively record VoIP phone calls on the LAN.\nHardware is required to make the voice signal available to the computer equipment. Some of today's call recording software is sold as a turn-key solution with hardware.\nDirect recording of mobile phone calls requires a hardware adapter connected to the handset. There are many other ways to record mobile phone calls. One approach is to route calls via a new PBX system linked to the recorder. However, such systems are typically expensive to purchase and change the way that calls are made, incurring running costs. Another approach links directly into existing recording systems from a PDA phone. Both of these approaches allow recordings to be timestamped, often required for legal reasons. Recording directly onto mobile devices does provide a legally valid recording in many countries.\n- Call-recording hardware\n- Call-recording services\n- Telephone tapping\n- Telephone recording laws\n- VoIP Recording", "label": "Yes"}

{"text": "Our editors will review what you’ve submitted and determine whether to revise the article.Join Britannica's Publishing Partner Program and our community of experts to gain a global audience for your work!\nSecurity, Privacy, and Safety Concerns.\nA major concern for the IoT is the ability to build in adequate security protections. Hackers have already demonstrated the ability to break into video systems, Internet-enabled baby monitors, and other devices. Security researchers have hacked into connected vehicles to demonstrate vulnerabilities and have compromised medical devices to illustrate what types of problems are possible. Data privacy is also paramount. Inadequate security can lead to lost, stolen, or incorrectly used data, including private health and financial data. Connected devices and systems—along with data stored in the cloud—increase the number of vulnerability points. In addition, all of the data generated from sensors, cameras, cellular records, computer logs, and other systems can identify where a person is or was at any given moment. Those data can potentially be used or abused by law enforcement, governments, businesses, and others.\nDangers also exist in the technology itself. Connected 3D printers, which fabricate common items, can empower individuals to bypass laws and “print” illegal weapons and other objects, including drugs and counterfeit goods. Drones, microbots, and nearly invisible nanobots—tiny electronic robots connected in a network—could be used for spying or to commit terrorist attacks. In fact, the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is exploring the use of robot armies that would travel behind enemy lines to carry out military missions. While that could reduce the risks to humans in activities such as defusing bombs or rescuing soldiers in the field, it could also introduce widespread autonomous killing, a highly controversial act that the UN and humanitarian groups have begun to explore.\nWhile the ability to connect physical objects and devices introduces increased efficiencies and, in some cases, cost savings, scaling up those connection points and network creates exponentially greater possibilities. For example, a smart car that connects with a smartphone can already integrate mapping, entertainment, voice commands, and other functions that transform the vehicle into a computer on wheels. However, a network of connected vehicles and infrastructure would allow vehicles not only to avoid crashes while driving but also to “see” around corners and avoid collisions with a bicyclist or a pedestrian. The vehicle could even send the person at risk an instant alert. In addition, sensors in bridges, tunnels, roads, and other infrastructure could indicate when repairs are necessary or when failure is imminent.\nSimilarly, smart utilities and even smart cities would allow consumers and businesses to utilize energy resources and transportation systems more effectively and at a lower cost than before. Connected devices inside and outside the body could revolutionize the way people monitor health conditions and could allow smart connected devices to release the right amount of medication at the right place and at the right moment. Tiny robotic devices injected into the human body could also detect and fix problems. Although no one can predict the exact course that the technology will take, the IoT is likely to have a profound impact on lives and business in the years ahead.\nLearn More in these related Britannica articles:\nEthernet, computer networking technology used in local area networks (LANs).

{"text": "Up until 2016, provisioning Ethernet networks was a little bit like buying hot dogs and hot dog buns, in that you could not always match up the quantities to get the most efficient configuration. That dramatically changed when the specification for Ethernet FlexE was adopted by the Optical Internetworking Forum as OIF-FLEXE-01.0. The surging demand for higher data rates and more flexible network configuration led to this innovative addition to the Ethernet standard.\nFlexE fits in between the MAC and PHY, using MII interface signals. In fact, its operation can be so transparent that it is called a FlexE shim and can be completely transparent to existing physical transport layers. Of course, there is a FlexE ‘aware’ configuration that offers further flexibility for transport hardware that is aware of FlexE.\nThere are three main operations that FlexE can perform. Using these, a number of significant networking efficiency problems can be solved. The first is bonding, where large data pipes can be connected to multiple lower bandwidth physical lanes. For instance, five 100 GE lanes could be used to support a 500Gbps connection. FlexE can do this without the ~30% loss of efficiency of the link aggregation (LAG) solutions previously used for this purpose. Also, FlexE makes the connection performance deterministic, another advantage over LAG.\nThe second main capability of FlexE is sub-rating of links. There are instances where a link may operate more efficiently at a lower bandwidth than its interface rating. One example provided by the OIF is where a 300 Gbps link is desired, but its coherent optical physical layer needs four 75 Gbps inputs to send 150 Gbps each over two wavelengths. OIF points out that FlexE allows four 100 GE lanes to carry only 75 Gbps each to suit these needs. The down conversion from 300 Gbps is done in the FlexE shim that feeds the four 100 GE lanes.\nThe Third major feature of FlexE is channelization, where multiple data streams can be intermixed on one or more FlexE links. This is convenient for cases like 5G where there will be a number of smaller streams that can be interleaved into larger links and be recovered at the endpoint. This delivers a mechanism that allows service providers to offer deterministic Ethernet-oriented pipes of flexible width.\nAnyone designing silicon that uses Ethernet will want to incorporate FlexE functionality to ensure optimal and full use of physical layer transport. Along with FlexE, another essential IP for chips that perform communications and networking is forward error correction (FEC). The move to PAM4 with multilevel signaling is exacerbating this need because the higher bandwidth it offers comes with a penalty in the signal to noise ratio, leading to higher bit error rates (BER).\nFortunately, Open-Silicon (a SiFive Company), a leading SOC development solution provider, offers IP that enables their customers to build high performance SOCs that take full advantage of high bandwidth Ethernet, FlexE and FEC for PAM4. The three components of this are Ethernet PCS IP, FlexE IP and multi-channel/multi-rate FEC IP.\nThe PCS IP supports 64b/66b encoding and decoding and is compatible with a wide range of MII versions. It runs from 10G to 400G. As mentioned above the Open-Silicon FlexE IP supports FlexE aware and unaware interfaces. Their FEC can be used in SerDes that support PAM4 and run up to 400G and can connect up to 32 SerDes lanes. It also can be used for Interlaken as well as Ethernet.\nWith high speed and high efficiency date transport continuing to be an essential prerequisite for business success, solution providers need to have networking solutions that allow facile data flow from the edge to the cloud to support increasingly complex business models and end-user functionality. Open-Silicon is continuing to maintain a technological edge in this area with the addition of this set of communications related IP.", "label": "Yes"}
{"text": "BY RALPH COBB\nHistorically, very few dollars have been directed toward research and development for fire service needs. Yet, the fire service can benefit greatly from transferring technology developed for the defense and aerospace industries to the fire service. Following are two examples of such technology available from this untapped resource.\nTHE TETHERED AEROSTAT\nTethered aerostat. (Photo courtesy of BOSCH Aerospace Inc.)\nIt happened suddenly without warning. A tornado watch had just been posted when the tornado swept down on the city. In less than five minutes, the storm cut a quarter-of-a-mile swath of destruction through five miles of sleeping subdivisions before ascending back into the clouds. As fate would have it, the storm also mangled the two communications antennae supporting the city’s 800 MHz radio system. Public safety communications were silenced.\nHowever, the lack of communications was no cause for alarm. As soon as the fire department realized what had happened, a special small trailer was coupled to a fire department vehicle. The trailer was pulled to a predetermined location within the city near the disaster site. After the trailer was uncoupled, a valve was opened. In less than five minutes, a small airship, called an “aerostat,” was fully inflated and ready for deployment above the disaster site. The firefighter attached the antenna and released the tethered aerostat from its boom. When the aerostat reached 300 feet, the firefighter secured the tether, cranked the generator, and switched on the radio repeater. Several minutes after the trailer was positioned, emergency communications were available for police, firefighters, and emergency management personnel.\nUsing tethered aerostats to facilitate communication is a technology coming of age. In this age of rapidly expanding technology, who would have thought that the Smart Weapons Management Office of the U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Command would be funding, researching, and developing blimps? However, aerostats, both tethered and remotely controlled, can be used to keep a variety of communications platforms aloft for days for considerably less expense than cranking a helicopter or using fixed-wing aircraft. With regard to cost, the more applications identified for the technology, the cheaper it becomes for all users.\nTethered aerostats can serve a variety of communications and sensor needs for the fire service. They can provide aerial scene surveillance at hazardous-materials incidents. They are low maintenance, and there is no rotor wash that might spread contamination. They can be used for aerial observation at a host of important incidents and activities from accident and disaster scenes to large public gatherings. Using standard optics by day and thermal imaging by night, the site commander could observe crews’ movements around a disaster scene. Elevated thermal imaging could be used to spot casualties who may not be readily visible to ground crews.\nIn America’s new war against terrorists, scene security is becoming of paramount importance. Aerial observation can be used to spot intruders and looters at the scene. Such observations may thwart the success of secondary terrorist incidents, saving the lives of many responders. We are in an unprecedented era. As we face the ravages of fire before us, the greater threat may be approaching us from behind. We need all the help we can muster, and tethered aerostats have much to offer.\nIn addition to requiring minimum maintenance, tethered aerostats are portable, require little training for users, have a long shelf life, and are relatively low in cost.\nRecent events have focused on the need for real-time situational awareness during emergencies. Although many lives were saved as a result of the heroic efforts of responders at the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, additional lives might have been saved if emergency response officials had access to real-time imagery of the surrounding area immediately after the first attack. Laser communication (LaserCom) has many advantages that can significantly enhance emergency response teams and decision makers’ ability to respond appropriately and quickly during crises, be they the result of terrorist attacks, natural disasters, fires, or major accidents.\nCommunication lasers use the eye-safe wavelengths of the infrared band and provide the following advantages over radio frequency bands:\n•Very large bandwidth. This allows for the simultaneous transmission of voice, data, and images. A throughput of up to 1.2 Gpbs from a 29 lb. LaserCom transceiver has recently been demonstrated. This is 1.2 billion bits per second. Technology that will enable much smaller and lighter transceivers with even greater bandwidth is currently in development. Table 1 gives equivalents of 1.2 Gpbs in information flow.\nThis bandwidth provides the following capabilities:\n- simultaneous voice and data transmission without additional transceivers;\n- live audio/video feed from the scene to other responding units, the dispatch center, the command post, or any other location; and\n- broadband Internet access from any scene.\n•Narrow beam width, unidirectional. This allows secure communications with a low probability of interception. LaserCom signals are extremely difficult to intercept and monitor. Terrorists could monitor radio frequency (RF) communications during an emergency and cause problems for emergency management through jamming, inserting false information, or other actions that would inhibit a timely response. Most importantly, LaserCom will replace current AVL systems and is capable of geo-location and tracking units in the field through the same transceiver.\n•Less regulatory hassle. The Federal Communications Commission is finding it increasingly difficult to allocate frequencies. Laser communications do not have this characteristic or regulatory requirement. LaserCom also eliminates the problem with interference.\n•Relatively low cost. While LaserCom may be more expensive than many RF systems, the cost of a LaserCom system will be considerably less than typical 800 MHz trunking systems. Also, technological developments (discussed below) will reduce the cost of LaserCom to below that of most RF systems.\n•Portability. For a minimal investment, LaserCom communications packages can easily be stored, quickly transported to a scene, and rapidly deployed to support an emergency operation. A small, portable, quickly deployable tethered aerostat could also be used to deploy the portable transceiver where line-of-sight is a problem.\nSince lasers are unidirectional and limited to line of sight, you may be wondering how LaserCom can provide all of these advantages. The key is Steered Agile Beams (STAB) technology being developed by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). The STAB device can automatically locate and track similar devices while mobile and transmit and receive data, voice, and imagery. Simply described, when a signal is transmitted, multiple laser beams are emitted and steered from the STAB device. When one beam senses the target transceiver, the beam locks on the target and communication occurs. A device that performs functions similar to those of the STAB device already exists, but it is a large, heavy system of gimbaled mirrors that is high in cost and limited in portability. New solid-state/microcomponent technologies such as optical microelectromechanical systems (MEMs), patterned liquid crystals, diffractive microoptics, and photonic crystals are being used to develop small, ultralight, rapidly steered laser beam subsystems of chip-scale size. Line-of-sight limitations could be overcome by a smart system’s relaying signals within a network between STAB devices, including airborne systems, where required, to achieve the required connectivity for elements currently not within the line of sight.\nSTAB technology developments are revolutionary and will greatly increase LaserCom’s utility and feasibility for multiple applications. This new technology will provide improvements in size, weight, cost, power requirements, simplicity, and performance. LaserCom has the potential to be a very useful complement to RF communications to support fire departments and other emergency response organizations.\nFor more information on this technology, contact Brian Matkin, Army Materiel Command Smart Weap-ons Office, Redstone Arsenal, AL, (256) 842-8912.\nRALPH COBB is chief of Madison (AL) Fire & Rescue and a lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Army Reserve, serving at Logistics Support Activity, Redstone Arsenal. He is currently on military leave from his fire service position, called to active duty in support of Operation Noble Eagle. He has a master’s in education from Auburn University and is a graduate of the National Fire Academy’s Executive Fire Officer Program.

{"text": "VoIP: Advantages? Disadvantages?\nWe get this question all the time – Would a VoIP system be better for my business than a traditional phone system? Does the size of my company make a difference? Is it as reliable as my traditional phone line? Will I have to change phone numbers? Will the cost be worth the extra features?\nLet’s find out…\nWhat are the benefits of VoIP?\nVoIP can connect multiple locations and a distributed workforce.\nSince the Covid pandemic, many employees are now working from home. VoIP becomes a huge advantage when you have multiple locations, or employees working remotely. Here’s why…\nVoIP phone numbers are not hard wired to a specific phone or location like traditional phone lines. This means your employees can make VoIP calls from anywhere, provided they have an internet connection. Another advantage is that you no longer need a separate phone number for each branch or location.\nVoIP can scale up or down based on your business needs.\nWith traditional phone service, every time you add a new employee, expand your office, or move an employee or department to a new location, you have to schedule the phone guy for the installation or rerouting of cables. Sometimes this can take weeks to complete. What if you could add extensions, delete extensions, and move phones within minutes?\nNeed more lines? All you have to do is upgrade your license key, add the new phones and you are good to go. Scaling down? That’s just as easy. Moving an entire department and want to keep the extensions? Simple. Just pick up the phones and plug them into the computer network port in the new location. One more thing. All of this is a fraction of the cost of modifying your traditional phone lines.\nVoIP has Other Cool Features that Traditional Phone Don’t…\n- Receive voicemail and fax messages directly to email.\n- Instant messaging system allows you to quickly and easily IM an individual or the entire office.\n- See if other employees are in, on their phone, or out of the office at a glance.\n- Route business calls through the business number to your cell phone, keeping your personal number private.\n- Seamlessly set up conference calls whether employees work in the building, from home, or are out in the field.\n- Remote phone maintenance save both time and money.\n- Video Web-Conferencing built in.\n- And more!\nVoIP lets you save on long-distance and international phone calls.\nLong-distance calls – what’s that? Similar to cell phone providers, calls within the United States are considered local calls and there is no additional charge for calls outside of your area. Similarly, international calls with VoIP are significantly less expensive than traditional landlines.\nCost savings, based on usage, can be as high as 75%.\nSo… What are the Disadvantages of VoIP?\nLike all technology, VoIP phone service has limitations. Here’s what you need to know…\nNo internet means no VoIP phone service…\nThis is by far the biggest disadvantage to traditional lines. Your phone system is dependent upon the strength of your broadband connection. AND, a poor internet connection can also affect clarity on your calls.\nThe solution to this problem is fairly simple.\n- Get a reliable internet provider.\n- Dedicate an internet network exclusively for VoIP so it is not competing with your other online activity\n- Get internet with proper bandwidth.\nNot all VoIP providers offer secure transmissions.\nKeep in mind, the internet is a public network, so data can be vulnerable during transmission. The same is true of voice data during VoIP calls.\nThis is why we don’t use the internet without security, or transmit sensitive data without encryption. When selecting a VoIP provider, ask what security measures they have to protect voice data during VoIP calls. Do they offer high-level encryption during transmission?\nSo… Should You Move Your Business to VoIP? YES!\nTotal Tech Solutions is a VoIP and Internet Service Provider in Ocala, Florida. We use the newest technological advancements to give our customers reliable VoIP with all of the bells and whistles. Our VoIP phone service is a fraction of the cost of conventional phones or other VoIP services. In addition, in areas where it is available, we offer the fastest internet service available with dedicated Fiber Optics.\nOur goal is to cut your business expense, provide features that help you be more productive, along with the best customer service in the industry.

{"text": "As wireless technologies become the norm for consumers, they will begin to expect to contact your business for purchases or support via wireless devices, too.\nExtending CRM to wireless devices is not as big a stretch as you might imagine. Many commodity-based middleware technologies, such as application servers, already support or will soon support the extension of CRM software components to wireless and mobile devices. At the moment, few packaged mCRM solutions are available; KnowEx Solutions' KnowEx Wireless is one early entrant. Expect more mCRM solutions to hit the market in the next 12 to 24 months.\nCRM service providers are also gearing up for the move to wireless. Wireless providers, wireless standards, and tools to create or outsource wireless CRM are coming of age -- although not quickly enough for some of the respondents of our CRM survey. Two-thirds of those polled felt the biggest obstacle to implementing wireless CRM was lack of standards or differences in the technologies supported in various solutions.\nBut the biggest CRM leap will come with the infusion of peer-to-peer technologies expected in the next few years. Today we think of CRM solutions as access points that are one-dimensional software applications helping companies interact with their customers. Peer-to-peer technologies will create multidimensional interactions: customer-to-company, company-to-customer, and customer-to-customer.\nPeer-to-peer technologies will take CRM into an arena where sales and service are supported via componentized application services, and user-driven communities are the order of the day. Imagine a time in the near future when customers not only can interact with your sales and service infrastructure but can also converse with other customers to help one another and exchange information.\nThe added dimension of customer-to-customer interaction might seem a bit unusual within the current CRM paradigm. But blending peer-to-peer technologies with CRM will be a boon for both companies and consumers. Businesses that can successfully build peer-to-peer customer communities can expect the costs of sales and service to decrease as consumers adopt more self-service habits. Peer-to-peer customer communities also increase the amount of feedback on a company's products and services. Business leaders who can implement strategies to harvest peer-to-peer information exchange will be able to make continuous product and service improvements, thereby increasing customer loyalty.\nThe next generation of CRM solutions is clearly about giving customers a louder voice and more choices. Companies that don't leverage emerging technologies to this end will be left in the dust.", "label": "Yes"}

{"text": "Devising a bring-your-own-device (BYOD) security plan would be simple if it merely involved granting network access based on user identity, device or location. But a solid BYOD network security application would consider all of these factors -- and that’s a tall order.\nAt this point, since there is no proven singular solution, IT shops are instead patching together various tools that range from mobile device management (MDM) to network access control (NAC) and even out-of-band management systems.\nExecutives at four educational institutions we interviewed for this piece would all like to control hundreds or even thousands of personal devices in an automated way so they aren’t burdened by installing software on each client. From there, they’d like to granularly control access depending on a combination of identity and device factors. But each executive is taking a different path to reach that goal.\nMDM Tools Are Promising, But Not A Total Solution\nAll four executives interviewed were already using or evaluating MDM tools. These tools vary by feature depending on the vendor, but generally they track mobile devices on the network and can limit which users get access to specific applications or areas of the network based on company policy.\nIn general, enterprises are flocking to MDM tools. In 2010-11, 21.2% of companies surveyed by Nemertes Research were using MDM, and the firm predicts this will grow to 84% by the end of 2014, according to analyst Philip Clarke.\nYet MDM alone usually can’t manage users that have multiple devices and attach them all to the wireless LAN (WLAN) using the same identity-based log-in credentials. If the WLAN can’t natively differentiate between vetted and potentially infected devices, the network is at risk.\nIT shops must be able to identify multiple devices per user and grant role-based access based on varied user/device pairs. This generally requires integration with other tools, including Identity Management (IDM) and NAC products.\nUsing Out Of-Band Management For BYOD Security\nThe Rowan-Salisbury School System in North Carolina needed to control mobile device network access based on a range of variables including device type, location and application, explains Philip Hardin, executive director for technology, at the school system. Yet Hardin’s team needed to support software installations and enforce policies across numerous devices in an automated way.\nSo the organization implemented a combination of Aerohive’s HiveManager, an out-of-band network management system, with JAMF Software’s iOS MDM suite.\nAerohive’s HiveManager lets organizations configure customized policies for each user identity and device type combination. Policies govern network access, firewalling, the time of day that certain access rights are available and tunneling policies for secure VPN access.\nMore on BYOD network security\nMobile device security: best practices for BYOD\nVirtual Desktop Infrastructure vs. data containers for BYOD management\nBYOD management: Using a device catalog to control users\nAssessing the WLAN for the mobile workforce\n“The HiveManager provides for central data collection and alerts us about rogue clients. It uses device fingerprints to apply specific security based on policy, and monitors device health for individual and collective devices, displaying numerical device health scores visually in a graphical manner,” Hardin says.\nMeanwhile, the JAMF Software tests Apple devices to be sure they have the Apple MDM client installed. Then the software directs new devices to a portal to receive device profiles that determine their access rights and privileges. “The integrated solution enables the school to manage application access, [as well as] installation and software updates on devices,” Hardin added. The solution can accomplish profile management and access control without requiring personal devices to hold a NAC client.\nIdentity Management Central To BYOD Security\nHartwick College, in Oneonta, N.Y., uses an IDM tool alongside next-generation firewalls to handle device management and access.\nThe Meru Identity Manager controls access for both guest and employee devices through Smart Connect and Guest Connect modules. When a new employee at Hartwick College first attempts to open a Web page, they are redirected to a captive portal page on the Meru IDM appliance.\n“Our IDM appliance has a 2048-bit VeriSign certificate, which is used to encrypt the captive portal Web page, which the employee then uses to download SmartConnect as an applet or network profile,” says Davis Conley, executive director of IT at Hartwick College.\nSmartConnect configures the device to use the encrypted network, automatically authenticates the user, makes that a preferred network on the device, and then removes the open network from the device’s list of SSIDs, Conley explains.\nGuest users, on the other hand, register on the Guest SSID in Guest Connect. Both Smart Connect and Guest Connect have automated role- and policy-based BYOD provisioning. “Guest Connect asks for the user’s real name, phone number and the name of the person on campus they are visiting. ″We can shut them off if there is an issue,” Conley says. Then the Meru IDM uses a mechanism to collect device MAC addresses for future device recognition.\nHartwick College does not, however, use the activity monitoring, policy management and policy enforcement piece of the Meru solution. “We already had policy management in shape. We use Bluecoat packet shaper, a Palo Alto next-generation firewall and a Tipping Point device to see what devices are trading virus-laden content. Then we call in the user to address [the problem],” says Conley.\nWLAN Analysis Tools With NAC For BYOD Management\nCentral Michigan University in Mount Pleasant, Mich. uses Lancope’s StealthWatch network analyzer to monitor behavior on the WLAN and track user activity.\n“We use StealthWatch to look for anomalies in behavior and to figure out what the user was trying to do. Then we use a NAC appliance (from Bradford Networks) to identify the user. This is a manual process,” says Ryan Laus, Network Manager, Central Michigan University.\nWith StealthWatch, Central Michigan University uncovers externally-launched botnet attacks, worms and APTs, as well as internal misuse, policy violations and data leakage, regardless of the device. NetFlow supplies the data that StealthWatch analyzes.\nNow the university is testing MDM tools from different providers to enforce policy.\nMDM will control what individuals can do on a device using policy, similar to how Active Directory uses group policy controls. It would block unauthorized software installs and enable administrators to set configuration and permission settings for BYOD deployment.\nCentral Michigan University anticipates using StealthWatch in support of a new MDM package. “If a user figures out how to bypass MDM to install an unapproved application, StealthWatch can look for flows that are out of the policy scope and send an alert to the NAC appliance, which could then move the user/device to a quarantined network,” Laus says.\nIntegrating IDM With NAC For BYOD Security\nThe Regional Medical Center at Memphis in Tennessee is using Aruba Networks’ ClearPass integrated mobility management and NAC software to create a self-provisioning system for BYOD.\nUsers at the medical center will sign in with a standard log-in name and password, and ClearPass will provision based on pre-determined policy. “We won’t have to have them bring their device in and install a security/network profile manually,” says Tony Alphier, Director of IT at The Regional Medical Center at Memphis.\nWith this process, a NAC controller will prevent devices from getting on the network until they are registered and cleaned.\n“[Currently] we are not allowing employees BYOD [internal access] unless they are physicians and bring a laptop. Then we put a profile on their device manually,” says Alphier. “When we add the NAC module from Aruba, we will be able to allow all employees BYOD [access].”\nThe medical center also uses Aruba’s AirWave to log and monitor device activity and Aruba technology allows Alphier to provide a guest network. “We had Aruba’s Amigopod guest solution. Aruba is combining that with Clear Pass. We can have family and patients and friends access our network and keep our security at the same time,” says Alphier. Guests can self-provision now, receiving a code to connect to the Internet while staying off the internal network.\nAbout the author:\nDavid Geer writes about security and enterprise technology for international trade and business publications.", "label": "Yes"}

{"text": "Even if you've never owned an NFC-equipped phone or tablet (like the Samsung Galaxy S5 or a Nokia Lumia), you've probably used NFC.\nThe technology, which lets two local devices share small bits of data, is embedded in things like commuter cards, print advertisements, and smart cards.\nNow that the technology is placed in more Android and Windows phones -- and Apple's iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus and Apple Watch -- NFC is more relevant than ever. Especially when it comes to mobile payments.\nUnder the hood\nNFC (near-field communication) allows two devices placed within a few centimeters of each other to exchange data. In order for this to work, both devices must be equipped with an NFC chip.\nIn the real world, there are a essentially two ways this works.\nTwo-way communication: This involves two devices that can both read and write to each other. For example, using NFC, you can touch two Android devices together to transfer data like contacts, links, or photos.\nOne-way communication: Here, a powered device (like a phone, credit card reader, or commuter card terminal) reads and writes to an NFC chip. So, when you tap your commuter card on the terminal, the NFC-powered terminal subtracts money from the balance written to the card.\nIt's all about power\nIf you're thinking, \"Bluetooth can do these things, too.\", you're right. However, even compared to Bluetooth LE, NFC uses significantly less power. This is crucial when you consider that phones may one day replace wallets, and battery life will be more important than ever.\nNot to mention, pairing two Bluetooth devices can be a major headache. Make device discoverable...search for the device...enter passcode...forget about it.\nIn fact, NFC can work directly with Bluetooth. For instance, instead of going through this process to pair your phone with Bluetooth speakers, you can simply tap the phone to a speaker, let the devices use NFC to exchange the pairing data, and you're set.\nNFC and mobile payments\nOne day, we'll all be paying for things with our phones, and NFC is the ticket to that future. In light of the many recent credit card data breaches, now is an especially good time to present a solution that finally shields our wallets from theft and fraud.\nMany retailers -- including Target, Macys, and Walgreens -- already have NFC-based contactless pay terminals in place, making the transition to mobile payments easy. Phones compatible with Google Wallet can currently use these terminals, as can Apple's iPhone 6 and 6 Plus.\nThe biggest concern around NFC payments is security, but the mobile payment structure is so complex, any hacking or intercepting would be very difficult. To understand why, here's how it works.\nAfter launching the payment application on your phone, the phone is tapped on the credit card terminal and a connection is made using NFC. At this point, you may be asked to scan your finger or enter a passcode to approve the transaction. The transaction is then validated with a separate chip called the secure element (SE), which relays that authorization back to the NFC modem. From there, the payment finishes processing the same way it would in a traditional credit card swipe transaction.\nThree years after Wallet's launch, Apple entered the game with its own mobile payment solution, Apple Pay . Building upon Passbook (the Apple app that digitizes things like concert tickets and boarding passes) and combined with Apple's Touch ID fingerprint scanner, Apple presented a payment solution that might finally make this technology go mainstream.\nWhy NFC-based payments are secure\nThe most important step in the mobile payment transaction is the secure element, which holds all the authorization power. Whether it's a chip in the phone, or functions virtually in the cloud, the secure element is tamper-proof and protected by a unique digital signature. As explained by Michael Armentrout of Infineon, which manufactures secure element chips, the architecture of the secure element is designed to be hardened against attacks on the phone.\n\"That includes software attacks but also hardware-based attacks where someone got your phone or SIM card, it would be extremely difficult to obtain info off of that because it's a chip that is designed to have security mechanisms that go well beyond a normal processor. \"\nApple's approach to the secure element is a physical chip, which is only available in the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus. Each time a user initiates a transaction, the SE assists in generating a random, one-time use code in lieu of transmitting the user's debit or credit card number.\nOther ways to use NFC\nIf you own an NFC-compatible phone or tablet, there are a few practical ways it can be used -- and not just for mobile payments.\nNFC tags: This is probably the most common way NFC is currently used on Android and Windows phones. Using your phone (or tablet), you can tap a strategically-placed NFC tag, which prompts your phone to take action on something.\nTake this example: You put an NFC tag on your office desk. When you get to work in the morning, you tap the tag, and it automatically prompts your phone to enable Wi-Fi, disable sounds, and decrease brightness.\nPairing with devices: Speakers like the Samsung DA-F60 let you pair Bluetooth by simply tapping your NFC-enabled phone to the speaker. Even smart household appliances are adopting NFC. For example, LG's smart washing machines let you pair your phone with the machine so that you can remotely monitor the washing cycle.", "label": "Yes"}

Depending on the browser, the procedures differ from each other.\nMicrosoft Internet Explorer:\nExtras / Internet Options / Browser History / Delete..\nMozilla Firefox Version 20:\nExtras / Settings / Network / Cached Web Content / Delete\nGoogle Chrome Version 26:\nAdapt Google Chrome (upper corner on the right next to the address bar) / History/ Delete Browser Data.\nSafari up to Version 6:\nSettings / Safari / Empty Cache\nSafari Version 6:\nSafari Settings / go to ADVANCED / Tick “Show menu developer in menu bar” / Select developer in the menu / Empty cache.\nOpera Version 10:\nMenu Extras / Delete internet traces\nMake sure to assign each device its own Device ID. If this is not the case, the Chameleon Software will display an error message. For a better overview, you can assign the numbers according to the order of your devices in the rack from the top to the bottom (the top receiver is then number 1).\nWith low-power client devices (older tablets and smartphones), it may be that the continuous data interchange (HTTP request) between receiver and device cannot be guaranteed. This means that the scan data cannot be transferred quickly enough from the receiver to the client. Start the scan again on a powerful device such as a laptop or decrease the bandwidth of your scan.\nThis problem can occur when the client devices do not have enough hardware resources (mostly older tablets or smartphones). Select a more powerful client device. Basically the load of the client device increases with the growing number of receivers in the network.\nWhen accessed via network the message “Error 403 Forbidden” is displayed instead of the Chameleon software, because the networked receivers are currently controlled by another client of the network. The access is limited to one client device for controlling and monitoring.\nHowever, if no other client device is enabled and you still receive the message, you should reload or refresh the page. With most browsers, this can be done by using the F5 key or by selecting the “Refresh” icon next to the address bar. If you cannot directly access, wait about 10 seconds and try again.\nIf a TG 1000 transmitter is active on the channel/frequency, please turn it off. If an RF level for antenna A or B is displayed even when the transmitter is switched off, the currently used frequency is disturbed. For a more detailed display, please open the “RF meter” function in the receiver menu. Here the RF level of both channels is displayed in high resolution.\nIf the TG 1000 receivers are in the network and you can access the Chameleon software, you can perform a frequency scan in the desired range to identify disturbances.\nCheck whether the “Panel Lock” function is enabled (message on the display). To unlock, press and hold FNC and ESC for approximately 3 seconds. The front panel will then be released.\nThe firmware of the transmitter is not compatible to the software in the receiver. Please upgrade the transmitter. (Press FNC button -> Select Tx upgrader)\nCheck the network permission for the TG 1000 network. The software requires a network discovery. Therefore, it should be declared as a home network.\nAfter changing the network settings, please restart the receiver so that all changes are accepted in the network.\nVerify that the correct type of battery is selected (alkaline / NiMH) at the receiver. The battery life is based on and calculated from discharge curves by TG 1000. If the wrong type of battery is selected, the display of the handheld or beltpack transmitter does not indicate the actual battery level. Synchronise the transmitter after each modification.\nDid you enable the \"Power Lock\" function? Press the on-off button until the message \"Power Locked\" is displayed. Release the button and then press the on-off button again until \"Off\" is displayed. You can disable this function in the receiver at any time. Afterwards synchronise the transmitter.\nThe TG 1000 system can operate up to 24 channels (12 units) without an external antenna splitter simply by cascading (looping through). For this use the optional \"WA-CKL\" cable set. Connect the antennae to the first receiver, and then connect a maximum of another 11 receivers by using \"WA-CKL\". The first receiver now supplies all receivers with the RF signal.\n- We recommend using the standard antennae (included) for smaller applications where a direct line of sight between the transmitter and receiver is guaranteed.\n- For a better transmission quality we recommend using remote omnidirectional antennae. The reception of this antenna is evenly in a horizontal way. For longer cables, use an antenna amplifier or an active antenna.\n- For an optimised transmission, we recommend using remote directional antennae, which are aligned on a certain area. Thus, interference from the environment can be minimised. For longer cables, use an antenna amplifier or an active antenna.\nOptimise the radio transmission by allowing for the following points:\n- Check the alignment of the antennae and align them V-shaped.\n- Check the area on jamming equipment.\n- Correct the transmitter power under consideration of the distance between transmitter and receiver. \"Standard\" = short to average transmission range, \"High\" = average to far transmission range.\n- For an optimised signal supply use remote antennae and antenna amplifiers or active omnidirectional or directional antennae with long cables.\nMake sure that all TG 1000 components are turned on.\nCheck to see if there is a connection between the transmitter and receiver.\nWhen the red sync LED is illuminated check the settings and synchronise the transmitter again.\nCheck if the RF and audio level is displayed on the receiver's display. Make sure that the cables have no defect.\nMake sure that \"TX mute\" is not active.(Receiver will display the icon \"M\" when active)\nIt can interfere with other wireless systems in the area or the interference can be caused by DVB-T. In this case, please select an interference-free frequency (e.g. by scanning or stored groups / channel setups).\n- Make sure that the transmitter is turned on.\n- Hold the transmitter in front of the infrared diode at the receiver.\n- Make sure that the infrared diode of the transmitter is not covered.\n- Check the battery level. If it is too low, the Sync operation can be affected.\nThe red LEDs indicate that settings have been made at the receiver, relating to the transmitter. Synchronise the transmitter in order to transmit the new settings so that the system works fine.", "label": "Yes"}
{"text": "While cellular-based Internet of Things (IoT) technologies are still being finalized in the standards process, non-cellular solutions like those promoted by Ingenu, Sigfox and members of the LoRa Alliance are catching a bit of a break.These companies and others are expanding their low power wide area network (LPWAN) technologies, and they’ve had time on their side. France’s Sigfox aims to install networks in 100 U.S. cities by the end of this year. Ingenu is expected to cover at least 30 metro areas with its Random Phase Multiple Access (RPMA) by the end of 2016. They can enjoy their time in the sun while wireless operators and their partners ramp up LTE-based systems that will compete with them. That’s in part because unlike proprietary technologies, standards require a lot of time to build consensus and develop an ecosystem.\nTelit’s LE866-SV1 Internet of Things (IoT) LTE Category 1 module has been approved for use on Verizon’s 4G wireless network.The LE866-SV1 is the world’s smallest LTE category 1 IoT module, and Verizon’s 4G is the largest LTE network in the US.The module is about the same size as a thumbnail, and it is ideal for IoT applications with severe space constraints like wearable trackers, health monitoring devices and smart watches.\nLTE is the champion for smartphone service, but in the Internet of Things, it’s just starting to become a challenger.On Tuesday, Sequans Communications announced what it called the first chip for LTE Category M, a variant of the global mobile standard that is tuned for low-power IoT gear like utility meters, factory sensors and wearables. The chip, called Monarch, will be ready to go into devices when Category M networks go live late this year or in early 2017, the company said.\nNarrowband LTE and LTE-M are a couple of the new versions of the LTE Release 13 standard that are being touted for their ability to make cellular-enabled IoT devices less expensive. In fact, a top AT&T (NYSE: T) executive said that he believes that sub-$5 cellular modules are coming soon thanks to the proliferation of these versions of LTE.”The goal with narrowband-LTE is the sub-$5 modules,” said Chris Penrose, SVP of AT&T Mobility’s IoT Solutions group in an interview with FierceWireless:Tech at the 2016 AT&T Developer Summit in Las Vegas held earlier this month.\nNow that Ericsson has succeeded in pushing its favored technologies into the heart of the 3GPP agenda for low power wide area (LPWA) networks, it has stepped up its efforts to get them into the market, even ahead of full standardization in the next LTE release.In November, it announced projects with Orange to trial both its key cellular technologies, Narrowband IoT and Extended Coverage GSM (EC-GSM). The former is the solution adopted by the 3GPP for its work on an LTE-based LPWA standard – technically a combination of Ericsson’s NB-LTE and Huawei’s Cellular IoT, in fact insiders indicate that the Swedish firm scored something of a coup and got its approach, which is more backwards compatible than Huawei’s, at the heart of the emerging specifications.\nCellular network software that Ericsson announced at CES may help small, battery-powered devices like smartwatches and pet trackers get online and work longer without a recharge in a few years. It goes by the ungainly name of Ericsson Networks Software 17A for Massive IoT, but it has features for connecting the smallest of devices without making them use up too much power. Many of those will be meters and machines for cities and companies, but some could be long-lasting wearables and consumer gadgets of the future.\nNew networks being built with far less fanfare than cell towers will connect objects that in some cases have never been linked before, like street lights and traffic signals. The latest, called Starfish, is now debuting in Silicon Valley.Forecast 2016: Security takes center stageAfter a year of high-profile hacks, security is top of mind for tech execs in 2016.READ NOWThe many new dedicated networks for the Internet of Things aren’t as fast as LTE or Wi-Fi, but they’re designed to reach devices across an entire region with lower cost and power consumption. That’s part of the equation that’s supposed to make IoT work.But as a new kind of network, these LPWA (low-power wide area) technologies are still a Wild West of competing vendors and approaches. Take your pick: Ingenu, SigFox, LoRaWAN, NB-LTE and more.\nEricsson will also work with Sequans to test out its Power Saving Mode (PSM) technology over GSM and LTE networks, which could help to extend some devices’ battery life by up to 10 years. The Telco also revealed some basic details about related cellular IoT trials with Ericsson. According to the press release, a key enabler in Orange’s strategy to become a major player in the IoT game is the standardization process at 3GPP of cellular networks and device capability enhancements.\nTwo new LTE modems have been launched which are designed specifically to improve device connectivity to the IoT.Qualcomm Technologies’ latest model, the MDM9207-1 and MDM9206, will support reliable, optimised cellular connectivity to a growing array of devices and IoT systems, according to the vendor, a subsidiary of chip maker Qualcomm.The MDM9207-1 model is purpose-built for situations where reliable, low power gadgets connect to cloud services. The main application of this modem will be in smart metering, security, asset tracking, wearables, point-of-sale and industrial automation, says the vendor. Among the customisable features this model offers are Category 1 LTE connectivity and features to optimise power and throughput.\nMuch of the Internet of Things will run on the same networks that smartphones use, cellular giant Verizon says.Despite the prospect of new networks that reach farther than cells and let IoT devices communicate for years on one battery charge, many of the power-sipping networked objects to be deployed in the coming years will use LTE and future 5G cellular systems, a Verizon executive said in an interview Wednesday.Many legacy IoT devices, also called M2M (machine-to-machine), use 2G or 3G networks now. Carriers want to phase those out in the coming years to shift their frequencies over to newer networks.", "label": "Yes"}
{"text": "TechSpot means tech analysis and advice you can trust.\nAMD has been quietly demonstrating a cost-effective alternative to Thunderbolt at CES. It's unimaginatively called Lightning Bolt and, according to the company, it will deliver USB 3.0, DisplayPort and power over a single cable with mini DisplayPort connectors for a fraction of the cost Thunderbolt controllers and devices command.\nDemonstrations were held behind closed doors and no pictures were allowed, but AnandTech was able to see it in action. As the site explains, AMD's goal is to enable affordable, single-cable docking stations for notebooks.\nThe whole setup consists of a 'mux' on the notebook side that combines power, DisplayPort and USB 3.0, a standard mini-DP cable with changes on only two of the pins, and a Lightning Bolt breakout box at the other end providing the aforementioned ports. AMD claims that the Lightning Bolt multiplexor on the laptop should cost no more than $1 and a compatible dock would be around the same cost as a typical USB 3.0 hub.\nWhile that certainly sounds promising, the protocol is not yet finalized and so there are some performance limitations to the design. AMD says that USB 3.0 bandwidth using the interface would be lower than native USB 3.0 ports' 5Gbps but higher than USB 2.0. In contrast, Thunderbolt can hit 10Gbps. The company didn't comment on how much power you'd be able to send over the interface either.\nThe technology won't be ready for the launch of Trinity APUs during the summer but rather by the end of the year. Meanwhile, a handful of motherboards and non-Apple notebooks equipped with Intel's Thunderbolt were already announced at CES, and we'll likely see a few more by the time Ivy Bridge arrives in early Q2.", "label": "Yes"}
{"text": "Return to Timeline of the History of Computers\nJohn Bardeen (1908–1991), Walter Houser Brattain (1902–1987), William Shockley (1910–1989)\n“A transistor is an electronic switch: current flows from one terminal to another unless voltage is applied to a third terminal. Combined with the laws of Boolean algebra, this simple device has become the building block for microprocessors, memory systems, and the entire computer revolution.\nAny technology that can use one signal to switch another on and off can be used to create a computer. Charles Babbage did it with rods, cogs, and steam power. Konrad Zuse and Howard Aiken did it with relays, and ENIAC used tubes. Each technology was faster and more reliable than the previous.\nLikewise, transistors have several advantages over vacuum tubes: they use less power, so they generate less heat, they switch faster, and they are less susceptible to physical shock. All of these advantages arise because transistors are smaller than tubes—and the smaller the transistor, the bigger the advantage.\nModern transistors trace their lineage back to a device manufactured by John Bardeen, Walter Brattain, and William Shockley at AT&T’s Bell Laboratories in 1947. The team was trying to build an amplifier that could detect ultra-high frequency radio waves, but the tubes that they had just weren’t fast enough. So they tried working with semiconductor crystals, as radios based on semiconductor diodes called cat’s whiskers had been used since nearly the birth of radio in the 1890s.\nA cat’s whisker radio uses a sharp piece of wire (the “whisker”) that’s jabbed into a piece of semiconducting germanium; by moving the wire along the semiconductor and varying the pressure, the semiconductor and the wire work together to create a diode, a device allowing current to pass in only one direction. The Bell Labs team built a contraption that attached two strips of gold foil to the crystal and then applied power to the germanium. The result was an amplifier: a signal injected into one wire was stronger when it came out of the other. Today we call this device a point-contact transistor.\nFor their discovery of the transistor, Bardeen, Brattain, and Shockley were awarded the Nobel Prize in 1956.”\n“The first transistor ever made, built in 1947 by John Bardeen, William Shockley, and Walter H.

{"text": "Technologies for the Blind and Deaf Could Have Much Broader Impact, Says UW’s Richard Ladner\nThink about the technological tools you use most often. For many of us, cell phones and computers rank high up on that list. But these devices are designed with the hearing and sighted in mind, and are constantly evolving, so there are numerous hurdles to clear to make a phone or a computer usable to the blind or deaf.\nThe University of Washington’s Richard Ladner, along with students in the electrical engineering and computer science departments, is using engineering and computational tools to work on several of these hurdles—and the commercial applications could have far-ranging impact.\n“When you think about a person with a disability, such as a blind person, most people think that’s a medical problem,” he said in a recent interview. “Just restoring the human function may be a solvable problem, but probably not for a long time. But maybe there’s another way to get the same thing done, to allow a person to read a book or talk to their family. So thinking non-medically, as an engineer, there are other ways to solve these problems.”\nLadner, who was born to two deaf parents, also believes that technologies developed for the blind and deaf may eventually lead to broader technological advancements—not such a far-fetched idea, as it’s happened before. Mobile GPS was originally developed as an aid for the blind, Ladner said, as was optical character recognition, a technology developed in the 1960s to turn an image of text (such as a photo of a book page) into digital text, which would then be read out loud using speech synthesizers. Now, the same technology is ubiquitous in turning pictures of text into digital text;Google uses it to digitize books.\nLadner used to work on computational theory before shifting to accessible technology in 2002. He and colleague Eve Riskin, professor of electrical engineering, are now trying to take their long-running project on accessibility for the deaf, MobileASL, to the market. This project uses video compression technology to enable signing over video cell phones on low-bandwidth wireless networks (such as those in the U.S.). Currently, deaf people can’t reliably use video cell phones to communicate using sign language, because the videos are too choppy to be intelligible. Ladner and his colleagues are working with UW TechTransfer on commercializing MobileASL.\n“We’re trying to get it out and get it in actual use,” he said. “It’s in high demand. I get hundreds of e-mails about it.”\nAlthough designed with the deaf in mind, MobileASL could be used by anyone who wants better quality video phone calls, Ladner said.

{"text": "The Pros and Cons of Starlink’s Satellite Internet Service on Data Privacy in Jamaica\nThe world is constantly evolving, and technology is at the forefront of this evolution. The internet has become an essential part of our daily lives, and access to it has become a basic human right. However, not everyone has access to reliable internet services, especially in rural areas. This is where Starlink comes in. Starlink is a satellite internet service that aims to provide high-speed internet to people in remote areas. While this service has its benefits, it also raises concerns about data privacy.\nStarlink’s satellite internet service has the potential to revolutionize internet access in Jamaica. The service promises to provide high-speed internet to areas that are currently underserved or unserved by traditional internet service providers. This means that people in rural areas will have access to the same level of internet connectivity as those in urban areas. This could have a significant impact on education, healthcare, and business in these areas.\nOne of the benefits of Starlink’s satellite internet service is that it is not affected by physical infrastructure limitations. Traditional internet service providers rely on cables and wires to deliver internet services, which can be expensive to install and maintain. Starlink’s satellite internet service, on the other hand, uses a network of satellites to deliver internet services. This means that it can reach areas that are difficult to access or too expensive to connect with traditional internet services.\nHowever, the use of satellites to deliver internet services raises concerns about data privacy. The satellites used by Starlink are constantly orbiting the earth, collecting data as they go. This data includes information about the location of the user, the websites they visit, and the content they access. This data can be used to track the user’s online activities, which raises concerns about privacy.\nAnother concern is that the data collected by Starlink’s satellites could be accessed by third parties. This could include governments, hackers, or other organizations that may have an interest in the user’s online activities. This could put the user’s personal information at risk, which could have serious consequences.\nDespite these concerns, Starlink has taken steps to address data privacy concerns. The company has stated that it will not sell user data to third parties. It has also implemented encryption and other security measures to protect user data. However, it is important to note that no system is completely secure, and there is always a risk of data breaches.\nIn conclusion, Starlink’s satellite internet service has the potential to revolutionize internet access in Jamaica. It could provide high-speed internet to areas that are currently underserved or unserved by traditional internet service providers. However, the use of satellites to deliver internet services raises concerns about data privacy. While Starlink has taken steps to address these concerns, it is important for users to be aware of the risks and take steps to protect their personal information. As technology continues to evolve, it is important for us to find a balance between the benefits of new technology and the need to protect our privacy.", "label": "Yes"}

{"text": "If your planned network is small and simple but you need an effective means of providing power to your devices, you’ll want a cost-effective PoE network switch. Here are our recommendations for the best small (4-to-8 port) switches for around £100 or less.\nTP-Link TL-SG1005P (Low Cost)\nAstonishingly compact and cost-effective, the tiny SG1005P from TP-Link is a five port, unmanaged network switch with four PoE (802.3af) ports.\nOur most efficient means of providing power to your network devices, the TP-Link TL-SG1005P is the best option for those with small home networks and simple needs who want to elegantly power and connect their other network devices.\nAt a low price like this, however, you’ll be missing out on more advanced features like QoS and VLAN options. It’s also impossible to gain insights into your network since the device doesn’t come as part of a software-managed family of products like the Netgear Insight or Ubiquiti UniFi ranges.\nFinally, it should be noted that the TL-SG1005P only offers standard PoE (802.3af), rather than PoE+ (803.2at) from each of its four ports.\nTP-Link TL-SG1008MP (Low-Moderate Cost)\nThis eight-port switch has a 126W PoE power budget, meaning it can supply PoE+ (802.3at) from all eight ports.\nIt comes at a higher price point, certainly, but the TP-Link SG-TL1008MP has double the ports of the TL-SG1005P and the ability to supply power to any 802.3af/t PoE device since it is compatible with both.\nAdvanced network features including VLAN configuration, Quality of Service (QoS) management for various types of traffic, including VoIP and video data streams, are also on offer here.\nNetgear GC108P-100UKS (Low-Moderate Cost)\nFor true insight into your network, you’ll need devices managed via a software package like Netgear Insight or Ubiquiti’s UniFi network controller.\nNetgear’s GC108P-100UKS is an eight-port gigabit PoE+ switch managed by Netgear’s Insight network management software, which will enable the management of other Insight-managed devices and the monitoring of network traffic, along with advanced configuration options like the creation of subnets, VLANs and more.\nLike the TP-Link TL-SG1008MP, all of its 8 ports are capable of supplying PoE or PoE+ to connected devices but, unlike the TL-SG1008MP, this Netgear switch’s power budget is only 64W out of the box, meaning it will not be able to supply PoE+ to eight devices simultaneously. The switch is capable of smartly managing this budget across your devices to provide power, but when you’re out you’re out. If you need to power eight power-hungry devices at once, you’ll need to boost the device’s power budget to 126W with the Netgear FlexPoE EPS130W power adaptor.\nUS8 60/150W (Moderate Cost)\nUbiquiti’s most popular network switches for businesses and discerning home users with more complex network requirements, the US-8 comes in three versions, each with a different power budget.\nThe US-8 12W is the cheapest, with only a single PoE passthrough port (meaning PoE is supplied to the switch via port 1 and passed through to another device via port 8).\nAs part of the UniFi ecosystem, all of the US-8 switches are managed via the UniFi Network Controller software. Through this powerful management hub, like with Netgear Insight, it’s possible to monitor traffic across your network, configure your VLANs, manage network security and more.\nAt three different price points, it’s possible to source simple and compact network switches that supply PoE to your network devices.\nFor the most simple and cost-effective solution available, the TP-Link TL-SG1005P provides PoE (802.3af) out of all four of its ports, but will struggle with more demanding devices that require the PoE+ (802.3at) standard. It also will not offer any user-controlled management features, unlike Netgear Insight or Ubiquiti UniFi products.\nIf you need PoE+ from all eight ports, the US-8-150W is recommended, though the TP-Link TL-SG1008MP is a great option as well. Coming in at a lower price than Ubiquiti’s US-8-150W, you miss out on the managerial power of the UniFi Network Controller software, but have perhaps the most cost-effective and efficient means of powering high-powered devices like high-end wireless access points, IP cameras and VOIP phones. If you prefer simplicity to in-depth insights, the plug-and-play convenience of the TP-Link might be more amenable to you.", "label": "Yes"}

{"text": "Protocol doesn’t require new hardware; works with existing devices\nA group of researchers led by a BYU computer engineering professor has created a protocol that significantly extends the distance a Wi-Fi-enabled device can send and receive signals.\nThe engineering innovation requires no new hardware to enhance the signal range for “internet of things” devices, like a door sensor or motion detector, but can extend the distance these devices can be installed from a Wi-Fi access point by more than 60 meters, according to test results.\n“That’s the really cool thing about this technology: it’s all done in software,” said Phil Lundrigan, assistant professor of computer engineering at BYU. “In theory, we could install this on almost any Wi-Fi enabled device with a simple software update.”\nThe new protocol is called On-Off Noise Power Communication and is programmed right on top of the existing Wi-Fi protocol using the same hardware. While Wi-Fi requires speeds of at least one megabit per second (1 Mbps) to maintain a signal, the “ONPC” protocol Lundrigan and his co-authors created can maintain a signal on as low as 1 bit per second — one millionth of the data speed required by Wi-Fi.\nBEYOND WIFI; GOING FOR NOISE\nTo do so, Lundrigan, Neal Patwari of Washington University (in St. Louis) and Sneha Kasera of the University of Utah adjusted the transmitter in a Wi-Fi-enabled device to send wireless noise in addition to data. They programmed into the Wi-Fi sensor a series of 1s and 0s, essentially turning the signal on and off in a specific pattern. The Wi-Fi router was able to distinguish this pattern from the surrounding wireless noise (from computers, televisions and cell phones) and therefore know that the sensor was still transmitting something, even if the data wasn’t being received.\n“If the access point (router) hears this code, it says, ‘OK, I know the sensor is still alive and trying to reach me, it’s just out of range,’” Patwari said. “It’s basically sending 1 bit of information that says it’s alive.”\nBut according to Lundrigan, 1 bit of information is sufficient for many Wi-Fi enabled devices that simply need an on/off message, such as a garage door sensor, an air quality monitor or even a sprinkler system. During their research, the authors successfully implemented their ONPC protocol, along with a cleverly named application to manage the protocol (“Stayin’ Alive”), ultimately extending the range of an off-the-shelf device 67 meters beyond the range of standard Wi-Fi.\nThe researchers made clear to point out that their ONPC protocol is not meant to replace Wi-Fi or even long-range wireless protocols like LoRa, but is meant to supplement Wi-Fi. Specifically, only when Stayin’ Alive detects that the Wi-Fi device has lost its connection, it starts transmitting data using ONPC.\nThat being said, authors believe the innovation could make LoRa even longer range or be used on top of other wireless technologies. “We can send and receive data regardless of what Wi-Fi is doing; all we need is the ability to transmit energy and then receive noise measurements,” Lundrigan said. “We could apply this to cellular or Bluetooth as well.”\nThe research was presented on October 22 at the International Conference on Mobile Computing and Networking in Los Cabos, Mexico. MobiCom is one of the premier computer engineering conferences, with an acceptance rate for papers usually under 20 percent, and closer to 15 percent this year.\nLundrigan runs the Network Enhanced Technologies Lab (NET) at BYU. NET is focused on building real systems that enhance and extend wireless networks, Internet of Things, security, privacy and reliability.

{"text": "Samsung has announced its plan to develop a satellite-based communication solution that will allow users to make and receive calls and messages on their smartphones even in remote areas without any cellular coverage. The new service will be called “Direct-to-Satellite” and will use low earth orbit (LEO) satellites to provide connectivity.\nSamsung introduced its own solution for satellite connectivity on smartphones earlier today. The company announced the 5G non-terrestrial networks (NTN) modem, which allows phones to communicate with satellites in areas where cellular network access is unavailable.\nThe company stated that it intends to incorporate this technology into its own Exynos chip, which is used in many Samsung smartphones but not the current flagship model, the Samsung Galaxy S23. This technology, according to the Korean tech giant, uses “satellites and other non-terrestrial vehicles” to give connectivity in remote areas.\nThe decision comes after Apple introduced satellite connectivity with the iPhone 14 and 14 Pro for off-grid connectivity. The corporation first made this technology available in the United States and Canada before spreading it to France, Germany, Ireland, and the United Kingdom. Apple is reliant on the Globalstar satellite network.\n“This milestone builds on our rich legacy in wireless communications technologies, following the introduction of the industry’s first commercial 4G LTE modem in 2009 and the industry’s first 5G modem in 2018,” Min Goo Kim, vice president of communication processor development at Samsung Electronics said in a statement.\n“Samsung aims to take the lead in advancing hybrid terrestrial-NTN communications ecosystems around the world in preparation for the arrival of 6G.”\nFor emergency situations, the current generation of satellite communication technology promises two-way texting and phoning. But, Samsung claims that future iterations of its technology will be able to transfer photographs and videos as well.\nQualcomm announced a partnership with Iridium last month at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) to deliver satellite connection to Android phones powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2.", "label": "Yes"}

The efficient architectural design allows the core to be used on lowcost or high performance FPGAs.\n“This new core gives customers a one-stop source for random number and keywrapIP” saidTom Kean, Algotronix Managing Director. “The RNG core rounds out our crypto portfolioto complement our wide range of AES-based encryption products”.\nThe core provides a Deterministic Random Bit Generator (DRBG) based on the Advanced Encryption Algorithm (AES). The encryption engine uses the CTR-DRBG algorithm to compute a user specified number of random bits athigh speed. The core also offersresistance to physical attackssuch as interfering with the power supply voltage or temperature.A Health Check block contains logic to isolate the RNG from external signals and conduct complex tests. Should the health check fail then the core is designed to lock-up until reset to prevent compromising security. The AES core can even be shared across several functions in asecurity subsystem to save area.\nCommenting on the new products, Paul Dillien, a consultant from High Tech Marketing in the UK said, “It is important that customers use highquality random values in their encryption schemes. Random Number Generators used for creating keys are a primary weakpoint in most cryptographic systems and a frequent target of attack. The DRBG provides this quality to make attacking the system to try to compromise the RNG as hard ascracking the algorithm used to encrypt the data”.\nThe RNG core is available now as an IP core in RTL source code, and features a comprehensive test bench and set of test vectors including the Known Answer Tests.\nFor more information: http://www.algotronix-store.com/kb_results.asp?ID=33\nAlgotronix is based in the UK and was established in 1998.

{"text": "Last modified: July 23, 2011\nApplies to: Outlook\nInitiates the transfer of an inbound message from the transport provider to the MAPI spooler.\nThe MAPI spooler calls the IXPLogon::StartMessage method to initiate the transfer of an inbound message from the transport provider to the MAPI spooler. Before the transport provider starts to use the message pointed to by lpMessage, it should store a message reference in the lpulMsgRef parameter for potential use by a call to the IXPLogon::TransportNotify method.\nDuring a StartMessage call, the MAPI spooler processes methods for objects opened during the transfer of the message, and it also processes any attachments. This processing can take a long time. Transport providers can call the IMAPISupport::SpoolerYield callback function for the MAPI spooler frequently during this processing to release CPU time for other system tasks.\nAll recipients in the recipient table that the transport provider creates for the message must contain all required addressing properties. If necessary, the provider can construct a custom recipient to represent a particular recipient. However, if the provider can produce a recipient entry that includes more information, it should do so. For example, if a transport provider has enough information about an address book provider's recipient format that it can build a valid entry identifier for a recipient for that format, it should build the entry identifier.\nIf any nontransmittable properties are received, the transport provider should not store them in the new message. However, the transport provider should store all transmittable properties it receives in the new message.\nIf the incoming message is a delivery report or a nondelivery report and the transport provider is unable to use the IMAPISupport::StatusRecips method to generate the report from the original message, the provider should itself populate the message with the appropriate properties. However, the transport provider cannot set the message's PR_ENTRYID (PidTagEntryId) property.\nTo save the incoming message in the appropriate MAPI message store after processing, the transport provider calls the IMAPIProp::SaveChanges method. If the transport provider does not have any messages to pass to the MAPI spooler, it can stop the incoming message by returning from the StartMessage call without calling SaveChanges.\nAll objects that the transport provider opens during a StartMessage call should be released before returning. However, the provider should not release the message object that the MAPI spooler originally passed in the lpMessage parameter.\nIf StartMessage returns an error, the message in process is released without having changes saved and is lost. In this case, the transport provider should pass the NOTIFY_CRITICAL_ERROR flag with a call to the IMAPISupport::SpoolerNotify method and call the IXPLogon::Poll method to notify the MAPI spooler that it is in a severe error condition.\nFor more information, see Interacting with the MAPI Spooler.", "label": "Yes"}

The objective is to make the control platform open for collaborative teleoperation research in humanoid robotics via the internet. Meanwhile, to generate optimal trajectory generation in bipedal walk, we proposed a real time generation of optimal gait by using Genetic Algorithms (GA) to minimize the energy for humanoid robot gait. In addition, we proposed simplification of kinematical solutions to generate controlled trajectories of humanoid robot legs in teleoperation tasks. The proposed control systems and strategies was evaluated in teleoperation experiments between Australia and Japan using humanoid robot Bonten‐Maru. Additionally, we have developed a user‐ friendly Virtual Reality (VR) user interface that is composed of ultrasonic 3D mouse system and a Head Mounted Display (HMD) for working coexistence of human and humanoid robot in teleoperation tasks.

{"text": "One of the fundamental building blocks of the internet is the IP address. An IP address or internet protocol is a numeric label assigned by your internet service provider that helps identify your device from billions of devices that are connected to the internet. Think of your IP address as an online home address for your device. Devices use an IP address to communicate with each other.\nAn IP address functions to direct data to and from a given destination. When your computer or device is connected to the internet in order for you to surf the web you have to first type in a website or domain name i.e., monsterhost.com into the internet browser. However, computers are not designed to understand words only numbers. So, when you type the address in the URL bar, the computer has to find the IP address that matches the website first (184.108.40.206). Once it locates it on the web, it serves the webpage up to your screen. Sounds easy right? Well, it happens in fractions of a seconds.\nTable of Contents\nWhat’s the difference? IPv4 vs. IPv6 addresses\nThe structure of an IP address depends on the version of internet protocol being used. So, either IPv4 or IPv6. Let’s dive into what the difference between the two are and how they work to help us use the internet.\nThe majority of ISPs (internet service providers) use IPv4. This version of IP uses 32 binary bits. It consists of four numbers 0 to 255, and is separated by dots.\nFor example, 220.127.116.11. The issue with IPv4 is that it has its numerical limits with only 4.3 billion unique IP addresses combinations available. Which means it is inefficient to meet the demands for the current digital age—therefore IPv4 address will eventually run out, sooner rather than later.\nThese addresses consist of up to 8 blocks of numbers. Each block has four hexadecimal digits and separated by colons. For example, 3200:BB30:0000:0000:0000:0000:0001. When writing IPv6 address the groups containing only zeros are omitted to save space. Instead, we add a colon to indicate the gap, therefore, 3200:BB30:1100::1.\nPublic vs. private IP addresses?\nIf you’re wondering “where is my IP address?”, normally you’re referring to your public IP. The public IP address is the address provided by your internet service provider. Devices on the same network share the same IP address when connecting to the internet.\nFor example, your home network is made up of your computer, phone, tablet and any other device connected to your router. When your devices access the internet, they use the public IP address assigned to your router from your ISP.\nThe router then assigns a private IP address to each device on the network so that these devices can identify and locate each other. The private IP generated by the router remains hidden when these devices connect to the internet and only the public IP address of the router is visible online.\nStatic vs. Dynamic IPs\nWhen it comes to public IP addresses, they are split into two different categories: static and dynamic.\nA dynamic IP address is an IP address that changes over a period of time. Your ISP will assign a dynamic address, however, every time the device is rebooted, a new device is added to your network, or someone changes your network configuration the dynamic IP will also change. Not to worry, these changes do not impact your connection negatively, and a dynamic IP address is mostly used in household connections.\nA static IP address, is the opposite of a dynamic IP in that it never changes. Static IP addresses are normally assigned to servers where websites are hosted or for email or FTP services. However, a static IP can also be assigned to public organizations require a stable connection and a consistent web address. Other users may want to use static IP addresses for gaming or VOIP (voice over internet protocol) connections because they require stable connections.\nStatic IP Addresses are hardly ever used for individual households as they have some disadvantages:\n- ISPs charge additional fees for assigning a static IP;\n- They entail additional security measures as they are more vulnerable to brute force attacks;\n- They are easier to track by data mining companies.\nWhat is a Dedicated IP Address?\nNow where veering into hosting territory where IP addresses are concerned. A dedicated IP address is a static address that is unique to a website on a shared hosting server. In fact, many static IP addresses can be assigned to web servers that host websites.\nThe server assigns a static IP to multiple websites giving it a shared IP address.\nHowever, there is an exception to the rule, the web server offers a static and unique IP address to one website making it a dedicated IP.\nSome people opt for a dedicated IP address if they have consistent high traffic and need a more stable connection. Web developers might require access to a server via its IP rather than a URL. For example, if the system is down, or they may need a stable IP address to install an SSL (secure sockets layer) certificate for their website. Even so, dedicated IPS aren’t simply just for websites—individuals can request them too. You can get a dedicated IP from your VPN provider. So, let’s say you use one to safely surf the internet, you can simply surf on a safer route on a dedicated IP.\nThere are many benefits to a dedicated IP:\n- Permits you to regulate your online reputation;\n- Can be used for online banking as a security measure. Online banks will sometimes flag logins with shared IPs as suspicious activity;\n- Makes websites unlikely to ask you to complete ‘captcha’ requests;\n- Let’s users connect to remote servers via whitelists.", "label": "Yes"}
{"text": "At WiseGEEK, we're committed to delivering accurate, trustworthy information. Our expert-authored content is rigorously fact-checked and sourced from credible authorities. Discover how we uphold the highest standards in providing you with reliable knowledge.\nWirelessMAN® is a family of wireless networking standards created by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). The standards, officially known as IEEE 802.16, complement other wireless technologies like Wi-Fi®. The 802.16 group of standards are meant for use in large, city-sized wireless networks that can deliver broadband Internet access and compete against wired technologies like Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) and cable modems. The WirelessMAN® standards form the basis for WiMAX® and several other wireless broadband technologies.\nThe organization which created the 802.16 standard, the IEEE, was also responsible for ratifying the popular Bluetooth® and Wi-Fi® wireless standards. Each of these standards enables wireless networks to be built on different scales. Bluetooth®, for example, allows very short-range personal area networks (PANs). Wi-Fi® popularized whole-house wireless Local Area Networks (LANs), and WirelessMAN® is designed for larger Metropolitan Area Networks (MANs) meant to cover entire cities or geographical areas. In many cases, these different types of networks can be complementary. A LAN using Wi-Fi®, for example, could be connected to the Internet through a MAN using 802.16.\nWireless networks built with WirelessMAN® technology use what is known as a point to multipoint setup. This means that a single base station provides wireless coverage to multiple subscriber stations in various locations. The maximum distance for this type of network is about 30 miles (48 km); over a thousand subscribers can be supported with one base station. Each subscriber station can serve a building or home, and can be used in place of wired Internet connections like DSL and cable.\nDifferent subsets of 802.16 provide wireless broadband functionality at different radio frequencies. Systems using higher frequencies, specifically 10-66 gigahertz (GHz), require a clear line-of-sight between base station and subscriber stations. An amendment to the original 802.16 standard, 802.16a, added support for lower frequencies and enabled the technology to be used in situations where line-of-sight was unavailable.\nOther subsets of 802.16 have been created to add new functionality or address issues related to the use of the technology. Released in 2005, 802.16e provided support for mobile subscriber stations, ultimately allowing the technology to be used for a mobile phone, laptop, or other portable device. Another subset aims to deal with the problems of many different technologies, including WirelessMAN®, operating on the same radio frequencies. The IEEE continues to study other issues related to 802.16; it is likely there will be further revisions of these standards in the future.\nIn the U.S. and some other countries, 802.16 standards have been used as the basis for WiMAX® wireless broadband service. American cellular service providers began building networks based on the 802.16e standard in the late 2000s, branding it as a “4G” technology. The European telecommunications industry has produced an 802.16-based technology called HiperMAN, while South Korean companies promoted a similar technology called WiBro, which unofficially stands for Wireless Broadband.", "label": "Yes"}

{"text": "For a fast scan-phase satellite radio antenna diversity system a noise correction method is presented for a significant improvement of audio availability at low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) conditions. An error analysis of the level and phase detection within the diversity system in the presence of noise leads to a correction method based on a priori knowledge of the system's noise floor. This method is described and applied in a hardware example of a satellite digital audio radio services antenna diversity circuit for fast fading conditions. Test drives, which have been performed in real fading scenarios, are described and results are analyzed statistically. Simulations of the scan-phase antenna diversity system show higher signal amplitudes and availabilities. Measurement results of dislocated antennas as well as of a diversity antenna set on a single mounting position are presented. A comparison of a diversity system with noise correction, the same system without noise correction, and a single antenna system with each other is performed. Using this new method in fast multipath fading driving scenarios underneath dense foliage with a low SNR of the antenna signals, a reduction in audio mute time by one order of magnitude compared with single antenna systems is achieved with the diversity system.", "label": "Yes"}

{"text": "Find out how far a TV antenna can reach so that you can avoid falling for scams that claim a longer reach than possible.\nIf you have been tasked with shopping for a TV antenna before, then you have most probably come across their ratings, usually in miles. These distance ratings are based on the type of antenna you have.\nFor example, outdoor antennas have a shorter reach compared to indoor antennas. While the antenna technology keeps improving, you’ll still have to mount an outdoor antenna for better signal reception, especially over long distances.\nWhat is the range of TV transmission from a TV antenna?\nStandard TV antennas are typically designed to reach a range of around 30 and 100 miles. But practically, the farthest your TV antenna can reach is between 65 and 75 miles due to the curvature of the earth.\nThe range of signal reception is down to the use a single frequency to transmit radio signals.\nNoteworthy, obstacles such as distance or physical barriers such as trees or hills can limit the antenna’s ability to transmit signals.\nHow far a digital antenna will work depends on your antenna type.\nThere are two different types of TV antennas: indoor and outdoor antennas. The indoor ones are usually attached to the TV or close to it, while the outdoor ones are what you see placed on roofs or high points in buildings\nHow far can an outdoor antenna reach?\nOutdoor TV antennas have been designed to pick up signals from about 1000 feet to 100 miles away.\nIn urban areas, getting a strong signal over long distances may be harder due to all the buildings and obstacles in the way. That is even if you boost the antenna.\nFor this reason, this kind of TV antenna works well for people in rural areas, where most homes are more than a mile or two away from each other.\nThe distance an outdoor antenna can reach is dependent on several factors:\n- Distance between your home and the nearest broadcast tower. If you are too far away from it, your antenna might have a harder time transmitting signals to your TV.\n- Strength of the signal being transmitted by the tower. The stronger it is, the better your antenna will transfer the signal.\n- A clear line of sight of the broadcast tower. If there are obstacles in the way, your signal will be interrupted.\nA good option for urban areas is an omnidirectional TV antenna, which, unlike regular antennas, uses multiple frequencies to transmit signals.\nThis means that even if there is an obstacle between your antenna and transmitter, it will still be able to pick up signals from another transmitter in a different direction.\nA good example of an omnidirectional TV antenna is the Channel Master Omni+.\nHow far can a long-range indoor antenna work?\nThe distance your long-range indoor TV antenna is able to cover depends on the specifics of your setup.\nFrom the brand you are using, your location, and the cable you are using and its length.\nA typical long-range indoor antenna can transmit signals over 50 miles, which is pretty impressive for an indoor antenna.\nConsider the 1byone Amplified digital antenna if you are shopping for one. Its actual range is about 50 miles.\nAn added advantage of long-range indoor TV antennas is that they are relatively affordable and among the easiest to install.\nApart from making sure that it is a long-range TV antenna and not just a regular indoor one, your placement is also a huge factor when setting up your antenna.\nPlace the antenna at a high point in your home, preferably facing the direction of the transmitter, especially if it is a directional antenna.\nWhat type of antenna works best in rural areas?\nIf you live in a rural area, a long-range indoor TV antenna is not your best option.\nThis is because, in most rural areas, there aren’t many stations that broadcast their signals, so it might be a little bit more difficult for you to pick up strong enough channels.\nThey work best for people who live in large cities and urban areas surrounded by many tall buildings. This is because they are mostly omnidirectional, meaning they will pick up signals from multiple directions at a go.\nYou need to find a long-range TV antenna for rural areas which has the ability to pick up channels from a long distance.\nI recommend the 91XG Unidirectional Long-Range Antenna from Antennas Direct.\nIs there a 1000-mile TV antenna?\nAs much as many manufacturers advertise long-range antennas with ranges of up to 1000 miles, it is scientifically impossible to achieve such distance with a TV antenna, whether indoor or outdoor.\nThis is because of geographical obstacles such as buildings, trees, hills, and the natural curvature of the earth.\nTV signal moves as far as the horizon. In simpler terms, the farthest your eyes can see is the farthest the TV signal will go without any interruption.\nEven the antennas with the highest ratings in the market do not stretch that far out.\nDo long-range TV antennas really work?\nThe short answer to this is yes; they do work. Long-range antennas are specifically designed to bring in more signals from greater distances than regular antennas.\nThis means you will be able to receive more channels and better video quality without installing additional cable or satellite boxes.\nWith this type of antenna, however, you might have a hard time with the installation.\nYou have to take time to find a spot where the signal is strong enough to make up for the long distance the signals have to travel between your antenna and television.\nThe exact distance a long-range antenna can reach depends on the brand and your location. But in general, you can expect an additional 20 miles of coverage.\nAnother benefit of these long-range antennas is their compactness. They are compact and lightweight, making the installation process much easier.", "label": "Yes"}
{"text": "Date of Award\nDoctor of Philosophy\nRob Cuzner, David Yu, Ilya Avdeev, Sevki Demirbas\nHigh Frequency Transformer, Multi-port Sst, Power Electronic, Solid State Transformer, SST\nConventional power system includes four major sections, bulk generation, transmission network, distribution network, and loads. The main converter in the conventional electric grid is the low-frequency passive transformer providing galvanic isolation and voltage regulation for various voltage zones. In this configuration, small-scale renewable energy resources are generally connected to the power system at low voltage zones or inside microgrids.\nRecent developments in the design of power electronic elements with higher voltage and power ratings and medium/high frequency enable making use of solid state transformer at different voltage levels in the distribution system and microgrid design. In this work, the concept of a Multi-Port Solid State Transformer (MPSST) for distribution network application is introduced. MPSST provides a compact, integrated and galvanically isolated multi-port node for microgrid and distribution applications and reduces the number and size of the converters in the concept of efficient smart distribution systems.\nA new architecture for distribution systems integrating distributed generation (DG) at different voltage zones using MPSST is proposed, studied and simulated. The developed concept interconnects different voltage types and levels using one compact converter with a centralized control logic. In addition, a general method is developed and mathematically analyzed to provide active and reactive power support using the local alternative power sources through MPSST.\nMPSST is a combination of high-frequency power electronic converters and a multi-winding high-frequency transformer. The total size of the MPSST is dramatically smaller than the conventional transformers with the same voltage and power rating. MPSST also enables online measurement and data collection and active control of the parameters at all connected ports. A two-layer control technique, which is a combination of duty cycle control and a modified phase shift control is used to regulate the voltage and power flow of the different ports. Since the converter has several independent and dependent variables, a transfer matrix between variables of the converter is calculated and used in system control.\nFinally, the implementation process of the converter including, component selection, modeling, software development, and transformer design is presented and the first prototype of the MPSST is developed and tested in the lab. Chapter five includes the hardware test results and the discussion and comparison of the results with the design expectations.\nRashidi, Mohammad, \"Design and Implementation of a Multi-port Solid State Transformer for Flexible Der Integration\" (2017).

{"text": "Two new server rooms ensure greater reliability and improved processing speed\nAugsburg, July 20, 2021 – Rosenberger Optical Solutions & Infrastructure (Rosenberger OSI), an expert in fiber optic connections, cabling solutions and infrastructure services, is implementing a cabling project for the city of Wuppertal in coordination with the Office for Information Technology and Digitalization. In this project, two new server rooms are equipped with a modern cabling system including LC trunks and 19-inch rack SMAP-G2 housings. Rosenberger OSI was able to prevail in the public tender. The implementation of the project is now taking place in July under the leadership of the Office for Information Technology and Digitalization.\nCity of Wuppertal’s digitalization strategy “digiTal 2023”\nAs part of the large-scale “digiTal 2023” strategy, the city of Wuppertal, in its role as the leading digital municipality in the Bergisches Land model region, is currently investing considerable financial and human resources in modernizing the city administration. Thanks to the city of Wuppertal’s internal IT service provider – the Office of Information Technology and Digitalization – the city administration and its citizens have been benefiting from a very good technical infrastructure for a very long time. The citizens are thus already able to access a wide range of the administration’s services by digital means. In addition, employees of the city administration have been working with electronic files and are therefore able to conduct their work using digital technology. As a result, the new server rooms not only need to process a significantly increased volume of data, but in particular also offer a high level of fail-safety.\nWanted: a dirt resistant cabling system\nThe invitation to tender, which the Office for Information Technology and Digitization carried out for the city of Wuppertal, called for a provider who could supply all components (project planning, products and installation) from a single source. In addition, the system also had to ensure that free or unoccupied couplings are permanently protected from dirt and dust. The IT service provider ultimately decided on a cabling system in PreCONNECT® PURE quality from the fiber optic specialist Rosenberger OSI, which is now being installed in the new server rooms. The implementation is currently being carried out by experts from Rosenberger OSI in coordination with the Office for Information Technology and Digitalization of the City of Wuppertal. The project is expected to be finalized in the fourth quarter of 2021.\nAbout PreCONNECT® PURE:\nThe cabling system in PreCONNECT® PURE quality from Rosenberger OSI is equipped with sealed coupling interfaces. Due to their design, the optical contacts that are integrated prevent contamination or damage during installation. Thanks to the interface design and locking mechanism, each channel can be easily snapped into the partial front panels of the SMAP-G2 housings. On the patch side, the LC-Duplex coupling interfaces are sealed as a unit with the protective caps to keep channels clean even when they remain unused for long periods of time. The original factory sealing also prevents unwanted opening and operating errors. In addition, the system allows transmission paths to be planned reliably and more plug connections per channel to be implemented. This allows up to twice as many plug connections per channel as with IEC-specified cabling.\nDownload press release: 2107_Rosenberger_OSI_City_of_Wuppertal_EN_final\nDownload images: Rosenberger_OSI_Wuppertal_Pictures.zip\nAbout Rosenberger OSI:\nSince 1991, Rosenberger Optical Solutions & Infrastructure (Rosenberger OSI) has been a recognized expert for fiber-based connectivity, cabling solutions and infrastructure services in the areas of data centers, local area networks, mobile networks and industrial applications.

{"text": "Message passing versus distributed shared memory on networks of workstations\nMaster of Science\nWe compared the message passing library Parallel Virtual Machine (PVM) with the distributed shared memory system TreadMarks, on networks of workstations. We presented the performance of nine applications, including Water and Barnes-Hut from the SPLASH benchmarks; 3-D FFT, Integer Sort and Embarrassingly Parallel from the NAS benchmarks; ILINK, a widely used genetic analysis program; and SOR, TSP, and QuickSort. TreadMarks performed nearly identical to PVM on computation bound programs, such as the Water simulation of 1728 molecules. For most of the other applications, including ILINK, TreadMarks performed within 75% of PVM with 8 processes. The separation of synchronization and data transfer, and additional messages to request updates for data in the invalidate-based shared-memory protocol were two of the reasons for TreadMarks's lower performance. TreadMarks also suffered from extra data communication due to false sharing. Moreover, PVM benefited from the ability to aggregate scattered data in a single message.\nComputer science; Electronics; Electrical engineering; System science", "label": "Yes"}
{"text": "Enterprise Technology for the Palm Computing Platform\nPalm Computing is seeking to increase proliferation of the Palm Platform by aggressively licensing its OS. To date this has resulted in six companies selling versions of Palm OS hardware. This strategy has fostered a competition in which the consumer benefits with a range of many hardware options. These devices are summarized in Table 1 (see page 22.)\nPalm Computing is, of course, the premier manufacturer of Palm OS hardware. They currently produce the Palm IIIe, IIIx, V, Vx and VII. The Palm IIIe, IIIx, and V use the MC68EZ328 DragonBall EZ processor running at 16 MHz. The DragonBall EZ is the upgraded version of the DragonBall that supports 16 gray scales. The Palm V and Vx have a much improved form factor featuring an anodized aluminum case approximately half the thickness of the III series. The Vx is the premier model offering 8MB of memory and a 20MHz version of the DragonBall EZ, making it faster than the V. The VII is based on the Palm III casing but has built in wireless capability. The Palm VII design was actually finalized before the introduction of the EZ processor, so is the only Palm currently for sale that still uses the original Motorola MC68328 DragonBall. While it consequently displays only four grays, it does have the improved screen of the Palm IIIx and IIIe. The wireless technology is lower cost than a cell modem but also lower bandwidth. This technology is described in detail below in the section on wireless networking technologies. Finally, Palm has announced that Palm OS 3.5 will support color, and Motorola has announced the 33 MHz MC68VZ328 processor that will handle 256 colors, so expect a color Palm device soon.\nIBM offers a Palm V device called the IBM WorkPad c3. This is essentially an OEM Palm V with no noticeable differentiation from the Palm device, and there's a IIIx version, oddly called the WorkPad c5.\nQualcomm's pdQ is a cell phone with a built-in Palm OS device. The two technologies complement each other superbly. The Palm improves on the things you would typically expect a cell phone to do, while the cell phone improves on features you would expect to get from a Palm Computer. Calls can be automatically dialed after first finding the number in the Palm contact manager, and both outgoing and incoming calls can be tracked and redialed; and finally the wireless modem provides wireless web browsing for the Palm Computer. Unfortunately the physical size of the device is daunting as either a cell phone or PDA, although the next generation will certainly be much improved. The display was made slightly narrower to accommodate the needs of a cell phone.\nSymbol, one of the first to license the Palm OS, makes Palm devices with built-in barcode scanners. The SPT1500 is based on the Palm III casing, while the 1700 is an all new ruggedized design available exclusively from Symbol. The PPT 2700 is a Windows CE version of the same device. The optional wireless LAN makes the Symbol a natural for medical or factory floor automation applications, although the price is intimidating. The basic SPT1500 has been used in London, England to allow their customers to order their groceries by scanning the products they need replaced before they go in the garbage; it also provides them with a checklist of items they are likely to buy based on past performance, and they can simply select them with a checkbox. When they're ready to order, they just HotSync with their home computer and the order is placed.\nThe TRGpro is the newest of the Palm clones and maybe the most exciting. It runs 25% faster than a typical Palm by changing some of the wait states. Among other improvements, it has a speaker that can play WAV files, and an industry standard Compact Flash expansion slot that allows interfacing with a number of third party devices. For example, SanDisk memory cards can add 128MB of solid state memory. Look for more coming soon. These devices support a FAT file system which is also supported by Microsoft Windows and Windows CE. This means that a memory card can be transferred between the Palm and desktop PC and read like a disk drive by either device. The slot also supports IBM's microdrive which makes available an amazing 340 megabytes of hard drive capacity. With this, the TRGpro puts the same storage capacity in your Palm that was standard on the desktop only a few years ago.\nThe manufacturer getting the most buzz is Handspring. Founded by the creators of the original Pilot (the Palm's name when it debuted), Handspring recently announced the Visor and Visor Deluxe handhelds. Running the Palm OS, these devices come with enhanced PIM applications but most importantly boast of the Springboard expansion module. The Springboard module is designed to allow third parties the ability to produce hardware accessories with relative ease and significantly higher throughput than is possible with any of the current Palm devices. With a Palm, all I/O is through the single serial port, but the Visor offers both the extremely fast Springboard slot and a very fast USB interface for HotSyncing. The USB interface allows a high rate of data exchange between the device and any peripheral. A host of Handspring modules have been announced including wireless modems, Bluetooth modules, analog-to-digital converters, and universal remote controls. Handspring seems to cater to the development community and strongly encourages third-party add-ons in both hardware and software.\nWireless Connectivity Technologies\nAlthough many enterprise applications can be successfully implemented using LAN syncing technology, such as with Palm's new Ethernet cradle, real time applications will demand real time wireless connectivity. A number of options exist today for wireless connectivity to the Palm Platform. The products mentioned below are available today, but technology improvements are certain to come so quickly that additional options will probably be available by the time this article goes to press. In general, you cannot go wrong assuming higher bandwidth and lower cost devices will come down the pipeline.\nThe Palm VII has a built-in wireless modem that provides 8 Kbps-about one-seventh the data rate of a typical 56.6 Kbps wired modem-over the Bell South wireless network. Though it has relatively low bandwidth and high latency, Palm chose this technology for its broad coverage area and low cost. The service plan is available in three levels. For $9.99 per month you can receive 50KB, for $24.95, 150KB, and for $39.99, 300KB. All plans cost $.20 for each kilobyte over the allotted maximum.\nTo compensate for its low bandwidth, the Palm VII uses a web clipping paradigm to reduce the amount of data that needs to be sent over the network. A web clipping application, or .pqa, is essentially a static web page on the Palm device with key pieces of information missing. When the page is accessed, the wireless modem kicks in and fills in the missing fields from a live web query. So to get stock quotes, for example, the user enters stock symbols into a pre-built form stored locally on the device. When the query button is pressed, only the stock symbols are uploaded to the network. A minimal amount of data is returned filling in the values into a pre-built results page, complete with onboard graphics if necessary. Generic web browsing of non-pqa sites is not currently possible.\nThe Palm VII is easy to use and implement since it is integrated so tightly into the Palm Organizer, and its price is not too bad. The wait time to get data back can quickly get annoying, however and since the device is targeted at the general consumer market there is not yet much support for Enterprise-grade applications.\nFor applications needing more data, the Novatel Wireless Minstrel modem supplies up to 19.2 Kbps of bandwidth in a modem that attaches to a Palm III in the form of a cradle. Most of the real time stock trading applications have been implemented using this device and we can surely expect to see more use out of it for enterprise applications. The Minstrel uses CDPD technology which operates over the existing cellular networks.\nAs already mentioned in the Palm hardware section, the Qualcomm pdQ is cell phone with a built-in Palm computer. The cell phone can function as a 14.4 kbps CDMA modem. Though its large size is not a very attractive feature, it is nice to be able to carry both your cell phone and a Palm Computer in the same device.\nNow that many carriers are offering cell phones with CDMA modem capability, there is not always a need to have a dedicated Palm interface. SprintPCS, for example, recently launched a service in which its standard cellphone can connect to an RS232 port for wireless modem capabilities. The cost is little more than its standard voice calling plans. Although marketed toward laptop users, there is no reason this cannot be used to connect directly to the Palm. With just a cellphone and a Palm Pilot, web browsing, email, and other Enterprise applications are instantly enabled.\nOmniSky is the new joint venture between 3Com and Aether Technologies. This alliance is obvious and surprising competition with Palm's own Palm VII product, but now that Palm Computing is being spun off from 3Com, the alliance is making more sense. Unlike the current Palm VII, the device will work with wireless carriers worldwide to provide services to corporations and consumers over networks based on CDPD, GSM, TDMA, and CDMA protocols. OmniSky will also evolve its wireless service delivery platform through international alliances as the world's wireless infrastructure evolves.\nOmniSky has secured an exclusive license to Novatel's new Minstrel V wireless modem, for the first part of 2000 at least, so that even Novatel cannot sell the modems. The Minstrel V modem enables OmniSky to provide users with services that surpass those offered for the Minstrel III. The alliance with 3Com allows the OmniSky service to use Palm VII's .pqa or Web Clipping applications as though they were running on a Palm VII. It also includes some other impressive software unique to OmniSky, such as enhanced, internet-savvy versions of the Palm Address Book, Date Book, To Do list and Memo Pad. Other partners in the operation include Riverbed Technologies, JP Systems, TRG Products, Synergy Solutions, and AvantGo. AT&T wireless will the premier telecommunications carrier for the service.\nWireless LAN technologies provide connectivity between a handheld device and a nearby base station-distances less than about 2,000 feet. This technology is ideal for applications such as hospital or factory-floor automation where the user will never stray far from a central location. It has the advantage that there is no need to pay a monthly service fee since connectivity is provided through the base station and existing LAN. It also has much greater bandwidth than most cellular solutions at 1 Mbps. As with all these technologies, bandwidth is sure to increase. The most popular wireless LAN product is the Spectrum24 Wireless LAN built into the Symbol 1740 which should soon be available at 10 Mbps.\nOne and two-way pagers\nJP Systems offers solutions to interface Palms with one and two-way pagers, that are IrDA-enabled. Generally low cost, these applications do not provide much bandwidth. JP Systems sells a pager for $199. A service plan is also required ranging from $25 to $100 per month. As more and more options become available for Palm wireless connectivity, pager options seem less and less attractive. While using pagers for data synchronization is unlikely to be significant in the Enterprise space, you'll find most of the wireless providers shipping JP Systems software with their hardware. JP System's InfoBeam software works with IrDA-enabled cell phones as well.\nBluetooth is the codename for a technology specification for small form factor, low-cost, short range radio links between mobile PCs, mobile phones and other portable devices. Although there aren't many devices deployed yet, many expect Bluetooth to become the standard for wireless connectivity for handheld devices. Bluetooth is not designed to be a completely independent wireless solution, however. It is designed to link a device to a local information source, such as a LAN or home network, automatically syncing the device when it is in range. Public nodes could be set up at major shopping centers or public transit areas, allowing devices to re-sync or even access the web while in that local area. When out of range, though, the Bluetooth-enabled device would need to commandeer your cell phone (which would also need to be Bluetooth-enabled) and dial up for network access.\nBluetooth modules have been announced for the Handspring Visor and TRGpro. Though not yet a viable solution in today's Enterprise environment, look to Bluetooth to lead the way for the future.\nGo to part 3 of 4: Software", "label": "Yes"}

The API enables the S320 optical switch to be used in data center networks based on OpenFlow-enabled software-defined network (SDN) principles.The OpenFlow API runs on the S320’s MEMS Switching Module (MSM). When combined with an OpenFlow controller, the API enables the S320 to reconfigure data center networks to optimize high-capacity data flows at the optical layer and to function as part of an integrated packet-circuit switched SDN.The 320-port (full duplex) S320 is designed to create any-to-any high-speed fiber-optic fabrics that connect top-of-rack switches to each other and to core routers for connectivity to the Internet. An OpenFlow controller now can reconfigure S320 connections based on time of day, real-time application flows, or predictive algorithms. This improves efficiency by obviating the need to overprovision connections for peak traffic because they can be reconfigured on demand.“Now is the right time for SDN-controlled optical circuit switches in the data center because they dramatically lower latency and can provide the instant bandwidth necessary for moving big data,” said Atiq Raza, Chairman and CEO of CALIENT. “The potential impact on data center is so great that it is already accelerating the virtualization of these networks.”The S320 OpenFlow API will be available for interoperability testing late this year.\nThe above information is edited by 10GTEK.\n10GTEK TRANSCEIVERS CO., LTD (Hereinafter refered to as 10GTEK) is specialized in developing and manufacturing Fiber Optical Transceivers and High Performance Cables which are wildly applied in Datacom, Telecom and CATV, providing customers with top quality and cost effective products.

At the same time, standard bodies such as the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) and the Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) have imposed limits on the magnitude of optical power that can be transmitted in a link between two transceivers, to protect the human eye in case of an open fiber. An open fiber is any discontinuity in the signal path that causes the signal light to escape into the open, e.g. a physical break in the optical fiber or an unplugged connector. Usually, an open fiber is the result of an unplugged connector. Unfortunately, these safety constraints limit the usefulness of multi-channel optical transceivers, which employ techniques such as multi-channel parallel transmission or wavelength division multiplexing (WDM).\n Multiple fibers in a single ribbon cable are used to transmit data in multi-channel parallel transmission. The greater the number of fiber-optic cables used, the greater the amount of data can be transmitted. The fiber-optic cables are normally packed closely together in the ribbon cable, each fiber-optic cable constituting a single channel for signal transmission. Since the fiber-optic cables are closely packed, the optical power emitted from an end of an unconnected ribbon cable can be the optical power of several fiber-optic cables combined.\n WDM combines multiple signals of different wavelengths into a single fiber for transmission. Using WDM, several signals can be transmitted at the same time along a single fiber, thus allowing a single fiber to transmit multiple channels of data. The optical power of the combined, transmitted signal is the sum of the power of each constituent signal.\n These techniques enable transceivers to transmit at higher data rates by using multiple channels, but the total power transmitted still cannot exceed the eye-safety limits. The safeguards require that the combined power of the multiple channels be kept below the eye-safety limit. For example, if there are N channels in a multi-channel transceiver, and the power distribution between each channel is identical, each channel can operate at approximately only 1/Nth of the maximum eye safe power level. In this way, the combined power of the N channels does not exceed the maximum eye-safety level. However, reducing the power of the signals in each channel also reduces the distance the signals can travel without losing integrity. An optical network using reduced power signals will require more repeaters or higher sensitivity receivers to compensate for a weaker signal.\n Open Fiber Control (OFC) is one way to circumvent the eye-safety constraints without endangering the human eye. OFC is a method for enabling and disabling laser transmissions in optical transceivers. When two transceivers are properly connected, each channel in a multiple channel application can be operated at eye-safety limits. Although the total optical power transmitted exceeds the eye-safety limits, there is no possibility of injury since no light escapes into the open. When an open fiber is detected, the transmissions must be either reduced to safe levels or shut down completely.\n OFC may be implemented using software to control the optical transceivers. When an open fiber is detected, the software immediately shuts down transmissions from the transceiver. To re-establish the link, the software instructs each transceiver to periodically send out coded signal pulses in a handshake routine. However, it is difficult to synchronize and decode these signals, especially given varying link lengths and longer distances between transceivers. Therefore, OFC implemented in software is not widely adopted despite its advantages.\n Recently, however, bandwidth requirements have increased to the point where multiple channel techniques like the ones described earlier are needed to accommodate the higher data rates. 1 Gigabit per second (Gbps) and 10 Gbps data rates are common now, and are sure to increase in the future. However, without using complicated OFC software routines, optical transceivers cannot currently transmit over multiple channels at high power without exceeding eye-safe levels.\n In a preferred embodiment, the present invention is implemented by an optical transceiver that uses multiple channel techniques, e.g. multi-channel parallel transmission or WDM. During normal operation, the transceiver transmits all channels at power levels up to maximum eye-safety levels. Although the total optical power transmitted exceeds the eye-safety level, no harm occurs since the connections are intact. When an open fiber is detected, all but one of the channels in the transmitter is disabled. The remaining channel continues transmission at an eye-safe level and is used to detect when the link is reestablished. Once the connection is reestablished, all channels resume normal operation. The channels are enabled or disabled in a time span on the order of milliseconds, satisfying the initialization timing requirements of typical protocols such as Fibre Channel, Ethernet, etc. By allowing the transceiver to transmit with greater optical power when the cables are connected, an increased data rate can be attained since more channels can be transmitted, and signals can travel longer distances without loss of integrity. At the same time, eye safety is preserved, because transmissions automatically subside to acceptable power levels whenever a break is detected. Additionally, the complicated synchronization and signal decoding required by the prior art software OFC implementation is avoided completely.\n Further features and advantages of the present invention, as well as the structure and operation of preferred embodiments of the present invention, are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying exemplary drawings. In the drawings, like reference numbers indicate identical or functionally similar elements.\nFIG. 1A is a block diagram of the present invention.\nFIG. 1B is a flow chart of the present invention.\nFIG. 2A is a block diagram of the present invention in an exemplary optical network.\nFIG. 2B is a flow chart of the present invention in an exemplary optical network.\nFIG. 3A is a flow chart describing system initialization.\nFIG. 3B is a flow chart describing an alternate method for system initialization.\nFIG. 1A is a block diagram showing a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Optical transceiver 103 has a data input 105, a data output 107, a transmitter 109, a receiver 111, and control logic 113. Transmitter 109 transmits N channels at transmitting port 115. Receiver 111 receives N channels at receiving port 117 and determines whether a signal is present. When receiver 111 detects a signal, optical transceiver 103 is properly connected. When no signal is detected, an open fiber exists. Receiver 111 indicates to control logic 113 whether a signal is present by asserting or de-asserting a Loss of Signal (LOS) control line. Control logic 113 enables or disables N−1 channels of transmitter 109 with an Enable control line.\nFIG. 1B is a flow chart describing OFC in optical transceiver 103, according to the present invention. During normal operation in step 131, the optical transceiver 103 has an intact connection to an optical network, and all N channels of transmitter 109 are enabled. Each channel transmits at up to the maximum eye-safe power level set by the standard bodies, which means the optical power of all N channels can add up to be N times the eye-safe power level. This would be a dangerous power level in an open fiber, but the present invention ensures that the connection is intact and safe for transmission at this high power level. Next, in step 133, receiver 111 checks for a signal. When receiver 111 detects a signal, optical transceiver 103 remains in normal operation. However, when receiver 111 does not detect a signal, it asserts the LOS control line to control logic 113. Control logic 113, in response, disables N−1 channels of transmitter 109 in step 135. The transmitted power level drops to that of a single channel. Although light is escaping into the open somewhere along the connection, the escaping light is at a safe power level, since the single channel is already transmitting at or below the maximum eye-safe power level. In step 137, receiver 111 continues to check for a signal. When no signal is detected, N−1 channels of transmitter 109 remain disabled. When receiver 111 does detect a signal, it de-asserts the LOS control line to control logic 113. In step 139, control logic 113 then enables all channels on transmitter 109, returning optical transceiver 103 to normal operation.\nFIG. 2A is a block diagram of the present invention in an exemplary optical network. Cable 201 connects optical transceiver 103A and optical transceiver 103B. Transmitting port 115A of transmitter 109A is connected through cable 201 to receiving port 117B of receiver 111B. Transmitting port 115B of transmitter 109B is also connected through cable 201 to receiving port 117A of receiver 111A.\nFIG. 2B is a flow chart describing OFC in the exemplary optical network of FIG. 2A. During normal operation in step 203, all channels of each optical transceiver 103A, 103B are transmitting and receiving signals. The combined optical power transmitted over the N channels can be greater than eye-safety limits, since cable 201 is properly connected.\n In step 205, cable 201 between optical transceivers 103A and 103B is either disconnected or broken, creating an open fiber. In step 207, receiver 111A detects the loss of signal from transmitter 109B and asserts its Loss of Signal control line. In response, control logic 113A disables N−1 channels of transmitter 109A in step 209. Transmitter 109A continues to transmit over the remaining channel at an eye-safe power level. Similarly, in step 211, receiver 111B also detects the loss of signal from transmitter 109A and asserts its Loss of Signal control line. Control logic 113B subsequently disables N−1 channels of transmitter 109B in step 213. Transmitter 109B continues to transmit over its single remaining channel at an eye-safe power level.\n Although the link is broken and light may be escaping into the open, there is no danger to anyone working on the system because the total transmissions have been reduced to a safe power level. By disabling N−1 channels, the total power level drops to that of the single remaining channel, which was already transmitting at or below the maximum eye-safe power level. By keeping one channel operating on each transmitter 109A, 109B, the system can detect when the link is re-established. A specific channel on each transmitter 109A, 109B can be designated to be the remaining channel for transmission, or control signals can be added to each control logic 113A, 113B to select one of the N channels of each transmitter 109A, 109B.\n In step 217, when cable 201 is fixed, the link between optical transceiver 103A and optical transceiver 103B is re-established. In step 219, receiver 111A detects the signal transmitting on a single channel from transmitter 109B. Receiver 111A signals to control logic 113A that the link has been fixed by de-asserting its Loss of Signal control line. In step 221, control logic 113A then enables all channels on transmitter 109A for transmission. Likewise at transceiver 103B in step 223, receiver 111B detects the signal transmitting on one channel from transmitter 109A when the link is reestablished. Receiver 111B signals to control logic 113B that the link has been fixed by de-asserting its Loss of Signal control line. In step 225, control logic 113B then enables all channels on transmitter 109B for transmission. Normal operation is thereby resumed, wherein each channel is transmitting at maximum eye-safe power levels.\nFIG. 3A is a flow chart describing system initialization for the exemplary optical network of FIG. 2A. At start-up in step 301, a single channel within transmitter 109A is enabled. The single channel transmits at an eye-safe level, in case the cable is unplugged. In step 303, receiver 111 detects the signal from transmitter 109A, indicating a good connection. In step 305, transmitter 109B begins transmissions on all channels. In step 307, receiver 111A detects the signals from transmitter 109B. Finally, in step 309, transmitter 109A enables its remaining channels for transmission. The system is powered up, the connection has been verified, and normal operation begins, wherein each channel is transmitting at maximum eye-safe power levels.\nFIG. 3B is a flow chart describing an alternate method for system initialization. At system power-on in step 311, both transmitter 109A and 109B are simultaneously initialized, with a single channel enabled on each transmitter (steps 313 & 319). In step 315, receiver 111B detects the signal from transmitter 109A. Likewise in step 321, receiver 111A detects the signal from transmitter 109B. In step 317, transmitter 109B enables all its channels. At the same time in step 323, transmitter 109A will enable all of its remaining channels, thus beginning normal operation.\n Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to particular preferred embodiments, persons possessing ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains will appreciate that various modifications and enhancements may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the claims that follow. For example, this method will work not only when a cable is unplugged, but also in case a transmitter or a receiver in either transceiver should malfunction. Additionally, transmission power in each channel may be above eye-safety limits during normal operation, if the transmission power of the single remaining, enabled channel can be adjusted to eye-safe limits when a break is detected.\n|Cited Patent||Filing date||Publication date||Applicant||Title|\n|US2151733||May 4, 1936||Mar 28, 1939||American Box Board Co||Container|\n|CH283612A *||Title not available|\n|FR1392029A *||Title not available|\n|FR2166276A1 *||Title not available|\n|GB533718A||Title not available|\n|Citing Patent||Filing date||Publication date||Applicant||Title|\n|US7139484 *||Nov 25, 2002||Nov 21, 2006||Fujitsu Limited||Signal transmission method in WDM transmission system, and WDM terminal, optical add-drop multiplexer node, and network element used in the same system|\n|US7350986 *||Dec 28, 2005||Apr 1, 2008||Finisar Corporation||Microcode-driven programmable receive power levels in an optical transceiver|\n|US7680389||Dec 22, 2006||Mar 16, 2010||Industrial Technology Research Institute||Light transceiver module|\n|US7787767||Apr 5, 2007||Aug 31, 2010||Emcore Corporation||Eye safety in electro-optical transceivers|\n|US7805074 *||Jan 28, 2005||Sep 28, 2010||Fujitsu Limited||Package starting control device|\n|US8032021 *||Feb 28, 2008||Oct 4, 2011||Finisar Corporation||Status link for multi-channel optical communication systems|\n|US8103163||Aug 22, 2007||Jan 24, 2012||Electronics And Telecommunications Research Institute||Method of controlling optical output power and passive optical network system using the same|\n|US8521031 *||Nov 19, 2010||Aug 27, 2013||Via Technologies, Inc.||Optical transceiver modules and systems and optical transceiving methods|\n|US8526810 *||Apr 30, 2008||Sep 3, 2013||Finisar Corporation||Eye safety and interoperability of active cable devices|\n|US8842983 *||Nov 5, 2010||Sep 23, 2014||Via Technologies, Inc.||Data transmission systems and methods|\n|US8861952 *||Feb 28, 2008||Oct 14, 2014||Finisar Corporation||Redundancy and interoperability in multi-channel optoelectronic devices|\n|US8867924 *||Sep 30, 2010||Oct 21, 2014||Cisco Technology, Inc.||Low power consumption small form-factor pluggable transceiver|\n|US9088366 *||Jul 30, 2013||Jul 21, 2015||Fujitsu Limited||Optical transmission system, control signal transmission method, and optical module|\n|US9112601 *||Mar 27, 2012||Aug 18, 2015||Intel Corporation||Optical link handshake techniques and configurations|\n|US20060008276 *||Mar 2, 2005||Jan 12, 2006||Fuji Xerox Co., Ltd.||Optical signal transmission apparatus and optical signal transmission method|\n|US20110013905 *||Jan 20, 2011||Avago Technologies Fiber Ip (Singapore) Pte.

{"text": "“Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi, you’re my only hope.” These eight words are some of the most famous in cinematic history. They brought audiences into a new galaxy and introduced some beloved (and not so beloved) characters into our culture. I recently watched “Star Wars: A New Hope” and was struck by the similarities between the character struggles and those faced by WAN data traffic overloading. Obi-SD-WAN-Can-o-Be. Is there hope for escalating WAN circuit costs?”\nAs organizations become more reliant on SaaS solutions like Microsoft Office 365, cloud back-ups, and cloud hosted applications, they are discovering their WAN data traffic and costs are growing at an alarming rate. To address this issue, companies are deploying Software Defined WANs (SD-WAN) as a solution to reigning in the growth of MPLS spending on WAN connections. Learn how Micro Focus Network Operations Management (NOM) delivers extended management over this key new use case using the new driver for Viptela vEdge SD-WAN Routers.\nViptela vEdge SD-WAN Routers\nOne of the strongest use cases in Software Defined Networking (SDN) today centers around SD-WAN. Company’s deploying SD-WAN routers are able to overlay one or more logical WANs over a pool of connections. This structure commonly provides the flexibility to optimize traffic based on link performance and service levels. Once deployed, many have been able to evaluate and remove costly and unnecessary WAN circuits, reducing costs and achieving the ROI required to implement the SD-WAN solution.\nOne of the leading vendors for SD-WAN is Viptela—recently acquired by Cisco. The Viptela vEdge line of SD-WAN routers supports multiple connections to the WAN including:\n- SSL over Internet\n- IPsec connections\nNote: The vEdge-100-B, is a solution for a small remote office. The vEdge-1000 is capable of higher throughput making it a better candidate for data centers and larger branch offices.\nIn our continuing effort to support the latest vendors and devices on the network market, the latest driver pack for the Micro Focus Network Operation Management (NOM) Suite now supports extended monitoring and configuration management for these Viptela routers. This extended support goes far beyond what is normally available via the SNMP interface.\nThe advantage of SD-WAN and Micro Focus NOM\nTo many network engineers and operators, SDN is synonymous with “complex”. However, to the companies that are deploying SD-WAN, they see it as the solution to reigning in the growth of MPLS spending on WAN connections.\nAs organizations become more reliant on SaaS solutions like Microsoft Office 365, cloud back-ups, and cloud hosted applications, they are discovering their WAN data traffic and costs are growing at an alarming rate. Some have reported seeing WAN data volumes double in the span of six months! The standard response to their growth of simply purchasing more capacity on their existing MPLS circuits is unsustainable. And it is important to note that not all applications require the quality that MPLS provides.\nHowever, if they could intelligently route their WAN traffic based on the performance, costs, and service levels (SLA) required by specific applications—significant cost savings can be realized. For example, as traffic is routed to lower cost internet circuits, the dependency on expensive MPLS bandwidth is reduced or potentially eliminated.\nThe advantage of Micro Focus Driver for Viptela SD-WAN Routers\nMicro Focus typically provides device driver packs for the NOM Suite on a bi-monthly. This goal is key to our continuing effort to support the latest vendors in the networking market. Each update adds to the industry leading 180+ supported vendors and 3,400+ supported devices already part of the suite.\nMany network monitoring tools are limited to only what is available through SNMP and simple ICMP-ping—examples include discovery and uptime. With the new Micro Focus NOM driver for the Viptela vEdge SD-WAN routers, users can also:\n- Automate the deployment of configurations to their SD-WAN routers to implement their intelligent routing polices.\n- Detect and mitigate unauthorized changes to the policies on their SD-WAN routers that impact performance or costs.\n- Parse and diagnosis issues directly from the SysLogs on their SD-WAN routers to be alerted when configurations are changed.\nWhat does this mean in Micro Focus NOM suite?\nLet’s consider a scenario that demonstrates the benefit of the Micro Focus NOM suite using the new driver for the Viptela vEdge SD-WAN routers.\nLet’s presume a company has deployed a new high-priority internal application in a remote data center. This application requires a low-latency network connection to a second data center via an MPLS circuit. The operator used Micro Focus NOM suite to configure a Viptela SD-WAN router to route the applications traffic over the MPLS circuit, while routing all other traffic over a secondary circuit. This configuration provides the best performance at the lowest cost.\nThe operator is relying on Micro Focus NOM to monitor the latency of the MPLS circuit with IP SLA. When the latency is too high, NOM can be configured to automatically re-configure the Viptela SD-WAN Router to reroute the traffic for the application over the secondary circuit to keep it functioning. Once the latency on the MPLS network is back to the desired performance level, NOM will then reconfigure the Viptela router to again route the high-priority traffic over the MPLS circuit as normal.\nThe end result is the NOM suite simplified the process of routing the high-priority application traffic through the Viptela SD-WAN router while also ensuring application up-time.\nManaging your Viptela SD-WAN Router with Micro Focus NOM suite helps users realize the true value of the SD-WAN through a single SDN management solution.

{"text": "According to the introduction, MEMS microphone includes MEMS sensor chip and application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) chip. MEMS capacitive sensor chip converts sound pressure into capacitance change. ASIC chip monitors the capacitance change and transmits its analog electrical signal to ADC (analog digital converter). It has small volume and strong heat resistance. It can be maintained for 8 ~ 10 minutes in reflow soldering. At the same time, it can withstand the impact of the vaporized flux and solvent in reflow soldering. After welding, the detection of its performance is very important. After reflow soldering, testing the performance of the mechanism before assembly will largely avoid the machine dismantling and scrapping caused by the detection of defects at the end of the finished product. In this stage, the test object is PCBA (print circuit board assembly), and the test process is called SA (sub assembly) test. At this time, the PCBA has been welded with MEMS microphone, ADC integrated circuit chip, etc., which has the function of receiving sound signal and converting it into analog signal and then transmitting it to the central processing unit for analysis. If poor performance is found, PCBA analysis and maintenance can be carried out.\nAfter passing the SA test, after the MEMS microphone protection net, the mechanism upper shell and the main body of the smart speaker (including the speaker and the main control board with power amplifier function) are assembled, it is necessary to comprehensively evaluate the performance of the MEMS microphone, which is directly related to the user’s experience. In order to avoid the bad performance caused by the mechanism assembly and affect the use, FA (final) is introduced Assembly) test, focusing on the performance evaluation of MEMS microphone in the whole machine performance.\n2 SA test\n2.1 test principle and important parameters\nThe monomer of PCBA is MEMS microphone, the sound transmission hole is at the bottom of the part, and the signal transmission is analog differential signal transmission. This kind of microphone usually consists of a very thin silicon sensitive film and a plate (or backplane) with points to form a capacitance structure. The capacitance change between the sensitive film and the plate can detect the deviation of the sensitive film caused by sound vibration. The distance between the two plates is changed when the sound wave collides with the moving plate, which changes the capacitance of the microphone, causes the imbalance of the charge on the plate, and produces the electric signal.\nThrough the data comparison between PCBA to be tested and the selected standard prototype, the corresponding response curve is obtained to determine the good and bad products. The main performance parameters are raw fr (frequency response) and fi (fault injection) fr. Frequency response is an important parameter to reflect the dynamic response of MEMS microphone to frequency. In the process of acoustoelectric conversion, the ratio of the open circuit output voltage of each frequency acoustic signal to the open circuit output voltage of microphone with specified frequency under the action of constant voltage and specified incident angle acoustic wave is called the frequency response of microphone, and the unit is dB.\nThe test concept of bad injection fr: put the microphone sound hole and its remaining body in two independent cavities respectively, and set a loudspeaker in the cavity where the non sound hole is located to make sound. Record the frequency response of the microphone during the test. If the frequency response is suppressed, it indicates that the microphone body and PCB are welded well, and there is no or only very weak sound from the path of the microphone non sound hole MEMS sensors.\n2.2 test environment\nThe hardware required for the test includes: independent sound card (Creative sound card), dual channel power supply (model: bk9173), power amplifier (model: GX3), passive speaker (used for making sound during bad injection test), passive speaker (model: LS50), dedicated speaker CPU circuit board (used to receive the electrical signal from UUT, CPU circuit board and UUT (unit under) Test (to be tested) are connected by FPC (flexible printed circuit board), scanner (to read the barcode of the tested object), PC (to communicate with CPU by network cable), USB interface is used to control the power controller, RS232 is used to control the test box, sound card and power amplifier are used to control the passive speaker and LS50 sound). The dotted line part indicates the test box, which includes two independent sound insulation boxes. At the same time, there are reserved holes in the middle part of the two boxes, so that the sound from LS50 in the lower box can be transmitted to the microphone transmission hole on the UUT. The UUT is placed on the silicone carrier in the upper box. The microphone transmission hole corresponds to the reserved hole in the box one by one, and other parts remain isolated from the lower box.\n2.3 test process\nUsing LabVIEW to write the test control program, and through the network cable to generate the curve of the signal sent back by the CPU, the performance of the microphone can be judged directly by observing the curve. The test program drives LS50 to send out 10 Hz ~ 10 kHz sound source through sound card power amplifier. At this time, the microphone is in the signal receiving state. The power supply provides microphone bias DC voltage of 3.3 V and LED power supply voltage of 5.0 v V (LED is used to indicate whether the working voltage of the whole microphone array is normal). After receiving the sound signal, the microphone converts it into analog electrical signal and transmits it to the analog-to-digital conversion chip. After ADC processing, the digital signal is transmitted to the speaker dedicated CPU circuit board for more complex internal calculation. After completion, the data is transmitted through the network to the test software, and the software analyzes the data and standard The test data of the quasi prototype are compared to generate the corresponding curve and complete the raw FR test.\nThe fr deviation between each microphone in the microphone array and the corresponding position in the standard prototype shall not exceed ± 1dB. Similarly, after the raw FR test, the program drives the passive speaker of the upper voice cavity to make sound, and the microphone receives the sound signal. In order to simplify the test, only the frequency response of the microphone at 100 Hz is analyzed. If the test result exceeds the upper limit, it indicates that the microphone has defects in SMT welding, and the typical bad phenomenon is that the grounding ring is not sealed. Because the mass production stage can not pass the X-ray full inspection of all the microphone welds on PCBA, so the elimination of electrical test is very important.\n2.4 selection of standard prototype\nAs mentioned above, our test is a relative test, that is, the test results of the object to be tested are compared with the test results of the standard prototype, and the deviation should be guaranteed within a certain range. Take the FR test as an example, if the fr deviation of the microphone at a certain position in the microphone array exceeds the microphone at the corresponding position of the standard prototype, it indicates that there is a problem with the microphone of the object to be tested, which may be a welding problem, or a welding problem Maybe it’s the performance of the microphone itself. The welding problems can be confirmed by X-ray detection, and the body performance problems can be checked by cross validation method. After confirming the problem point, carry out targeted repair. Because it is a relative test, the selection of the standard prototype is very important. Next, we will introduce the selection process of the prototype.\nFirst of all, the microphone manufacturer needs to prepare a batch of microphones that have passed the strict monomer test. Under the condition of 94 dB SPL and 1 kHz, the monomer sensitivity is – 38 dbv / PA (± 1 dB). Next, the SMT process is used to solder the monomer to PCB to form microphone array. X-ray full inspection of SMT solder joints, and finally in our test environment test, get the prototype of the original curve. The fr of each microphone in the PCBA array must be 0 dB (± 0.5 dB) at 1 kHz. The test data of the prototype is stored in the fixed position of the test program, so that the program can be called and compared when testing the normal products to be tested.\n3 FA test\nAfter the SA test, the PCBA with good performance is obtained. After a series of assembly, the complete machine is formed, that is, the finished machine seen by the end user. The performance of microphone array in the finished machine can be evaluated through the SPL (sound pressure level) test of FA, and the defective products can be intercepted in the assembly factory.\n3.1 test principle and important parameters\nSimilarly, the FA test is also a relative test. A part of the prototype selected in SA is assembled into the whole machine. The intelligent speaker and microphone array mentioned in this paper are assembled on the top of the whole machine, which is convenient to pick up sound from multiple angles. Sound check software is used to build the software test environment, and FR and phase are used to evaluate the performance. FR is used to determine whether the performance of the microphone body is damaged during the assembly process, and whether the microphone sound transmission hole is blocked during the assembly process; phase is used to determine the position matching between the microphone sound transmission hole and the reserved hole of the mechanism, and whether the reserved hole is too large or too small and the position deviation can be reflected in the test curve.\n3.2 test environment and process\nThe SPL test box with only one cavity is used. The passive sound source LS50 is placed on the top of the test box. The whole machine to be tested is placed directly below the sound source. The whole machine communicates with PC through network cable. The sound check test system in PC controls RME sound card through USB interface, and transmits the set sound source file to power amplifier GX3. GX3 amplifies the signal and transmits it to LS50. LS50 sends out sound wave of fixed frequency band as required for microphone array to pick up. The microphone array picks up the sound wave, which is processed by the CPU inside the whole machine, and then transmits the signal to the sound check software through the network cable to generate the curve, so as to determine the performance of the whole machine.\nWith the development of consumer intelligent electronic products in the direction of more portable and more stable, the requirements of human-computer interaction are higher and higher, and the application of MEMS microphone is more and more widely, which has great attraction to medical treatment and automobile. Aiming at the test of MEMS microphone array used in smart speaker, this paper describes the factory end production test scheme. The test principle and process mentioned in this paper is a good reference for the product test of MEMS microphone application in different fields.\nEditor in charge: PJ", "label": "Yes"}

Typically stethoscopes have been comprised of a head or chestpiece, a sound transmission mechanism and an earpiece assembly. The chestpiece is adapted to be placed near or against the skin, body, of a patient for gathering the auscultatory sounds. The sound transmission mechanism transmits the gathered sound to an earpiece, or a pair of earpieces called a binaural earpiece, where the physician or other health professional may monitor the sound.\nRecently, some stethoscopes have utilized electronics for at least part of the sound processing path. In most of these devices, the auditory sound is picked up by a microphone usually located in a detection device which is similar to the chestpiece of a conventional acoustic stethoscope in external appearance. The electrical signal from the microphone is then processed electronically and is coupled to a speaker, or speakers, where the electrical signal is converted back into an auditory sound for reception by the physician. Of course, other electronic analysis or display of the auscultatory sound may be performed by the signal processor, in addition to the usual conversion back into an auditory sound.\nThe incorporation of electronic circuitry into the stethoscope has been a considerable design problem for the engineer. Electronic circuitry necessarily demands a supply of energy, most commonly a battery. Typically the batteries used in electronic stethoscopes have been of the small high energy density power cells such as those used in hearing aids, or selectively chosen and/or multiple units of more standard power cells that are operated within limited life cycles. Unfortunately, these specialized batteries are not widely available and are often expensive and difficult to dispose of.\nIn addition, although an electronic stethoscope allows for the provision of many desirable features, such as noise reduction, signal amplification, wider bandwidth, display of auscultatory sounds and selection of different frequency responses, the electronic scope has not gained wide acceptance due to the impression that electronic stethoscopes sound \"different\" or \"electronic\" or in some way distort the sound. Given that health care practitioners have long performed auscultation and based diagnosis on the sounds heard through a traditional acoustic stethoscope, the reluctance to change to something that sounds \"different\" is understandable.\nThus, there is a need in the art for an electronic stethoscope which sounds more like the traditional acoustic stethoscope but which has the additional desirable features which only an electronic stethoscope can provide.\nThe present electronic stethoscope is designed to emulate the frequency response of a standard acoustical stethoscope in both bell and diaphragm modes, while providing additional features attainable only with an electronic stethoscope, such as signal amplification, noise reduction, wider bandwidth, and rapid mode selection.\nThe electronic stethoscope includes an idealized diaphragm mode and an idealized bell mode. The idealized diaphragm mode and the idealized bell mode each include emphasized passbands that are spectrally separate. Each of the idealized diaphragm and idealized bell modes can also include a de-emphasized passband. In addition, the electronic stethoscope can also include a wideband mode. The wideband mode permits the user to hear high frequency sounds such as those associated with mechanical heart valves or some lung sounds.\nThe spectral separation of the idealized bell and diaphragm modes allows the user to more easily hear and distinguish between different sounds of interest. The spectral separation of the emphasized frequencies reduces masking of high frequency sounds by low frequency sounds in the diaphragm mode, and reduces masking of low frequency sounds by high frequency sounds in the bell mode. Spectral separation with preservation of the de-emphasized frequencies of the idealized diaphragm and idealized bell modes allows the user to more easily hear, differentiate and identify different body sounds, and also gives the overall impression that the electronnic stethoscope emulates the sound quality of a good acoustic stethoscope.\nIn the drawings, where like numerals refer to like elements throughout the several views:\nFIG. 1 shows the electronic stethoscope;\nFIG. 2 shows a simplified block diagram of the preferred electronic stethoscope;\nFIGS. 3A, 3B and 3C show the frequency responses of the preferred electronic stethoscope in the wideband, diaphragm and bell modes, respectively;\nFIG. 4 shows a detailed electrical schematic diagram of the electronic stethoscope; and\nFIG. 5 shows the preferred chestpiece of the electronic stethoscope.\nElectronic stethoscopes should provide acoustic response at least equal to their conventional acoustic counterparts. Electronic stethoscopes should also be similar to the weight, feel and ease of use of their conventional acoustic counterparts. In order for the physician to gain the most advantageous use of the stethoscope, the stethoscope should provide the highest possible clarity of auscultatory sound from the patients body, as well as provide the greatest possible isolation from all extraneous sounds. In addition, electronic stethoscopes must offer sound isolation from the surroundings in which the stethoscope is used.\nElectronic stethoscope 10 illustrated in FIG. 1 consists of a chestpiece 12, or stethoscope head, a headset 14 and a connecting tube 16. The binaural assembly 14 has two eartips 18 and 20 adapted to fit in the ear of a user, typically a physician or other medical professional. Tubes 22 and 24 are acoustically coupled to eartips 18 and 20, respectively. The eartips 18 and 20 effectively seal in the ear canal of the user to exclude ambient noise. Enclosure 34, located at juncture of tubes 22 and 24 with connecting tube 16, provides a location for a speaker (not shown). The speaker transforms the auscultatory sounds which are picked up by chestpiece 12 and transduced into and processed in the electrical domain back to the acoustic domain where tubes 22 and 24 transmit the acoustic sounds to eartips 18 and 20, respectively.\nThe preferred sound transmission system of stethoscope 10 is electronic. A simplified block diagram of the electronic sound transmission system 100 is illustrated in FIG. 2. The sound transmission system 100 includes at least one microphone 102 which acts as an acoustical transducer to receive auscultatory sounds from the body and transform the auscultatory sounds into an electrical signal. In an alternate embodiment, the stethoscope could include two or more microphones, although the system will be described with one microphone for purposes of illustration. This electrical signal is amplified and filtered by preamp/high pass filter 104. The preferred embodiment of the present electronic stethoscope is designed to emulate the frequency response of a standard acoustical stethoscope in both bell and diaphragm modes, while providing additional features attainable only with an electronic stethoscope, such as signal amplification, noise reduction, wider bandwidth, and mode selection. In the preferred embodiment, filters TF1 106, TF2 108 and TF3 110, permit selection between three different modes of operation of the electronic stethoscope. Additional filters and/or modes could be added without departing from the scope of the present invention. Emulation of the frequency response of a standard acoustical stethoscope is achieved with filters TF2 108 and TF3 110. Filter TF2 108 emulates the diaphragm mode of a standard acoustical stethoscope, while filter TF3 110 emulates the bell mode of a standard acoustical stethoscope. Filter TF1 106 provides a wideband frequency response which allows a user to hear a broad range of frequencies, including high frequency sounds such as those produced by mechanical heart valves and the like. These sounds can occur in a frequency range that is not audible with most acoustic stethoscopes.\nPower/mode switch 130 provides for both power on of the circuitry and for mode selection in a single switch. Mode indicators 134 provide visual indication to the user as to the current operational mode of the stethoscope. Switching logic 132 is connected to power/mode switch 130 and controls electronic switch 112 which in turn determines which filter is being used to form the output to the user. Power amplifier 114 receives the filtered signal and the signal is output to the user via speaker 116. It shall be understood that embodiments in which speaker 116 includes one, two or more speakers are within the scope of the present invention.\nThe stethoscope 100 is powered by a battery system 124, which is preferably a commonly available AAA battery, preferably alkaline. A low battery detection/shutdown circuit 126 monitors available battery power and indicates when the battery power is running low via low battery indicator 128. When the voltage on the battery is below a predetermined level (1 volt, for example) the low battery detection/shutdown circuit 126 removes power from the stethoscope.\nTo prolong battery system life, an automatic shut down circuit 118 automatically removes power from the stethoscope after it has not been used for a preselected period of time. In one embodiment, the automatic shutdown circuit removes power a preselected period of time after the stethoscope is powered on. Alternatively, the automatic shutdown circuit removes power a preselected period of time after the last time the mode changed. A voltage regulator 122 provides DC--DC conversion from the battery voltage to a higher voltage (preferably 3.0 volts) and regulates and filters the voltage provided to the stethoscope circuitry.\nFIGS. 3A, 3B and 3C show the preferred frequency responses of the filters TF1 106, TF2 108 and TF3 110, respectively. The filters TF2 108 and TF3 110 provide an idealized diaphragm mode and an idealized bell mode, respectively. Filter TF1 106 provides an additional wideband mode.\nThe frequency response of idealized bell filter TF3 110 is shown in FIG. 3C. The frequency response of idealized diaphragm filter TF2 108 and is shown in FIG. 3B. As shown in FIGS. 3B and 3C and as described in more detail below, the frequency responses of the filters TF2 108 and TF3 110 are preferably spectrally separate. The frequency response of filter TF1 106 is shown in FIG. 3A, and provides a wideband frequency response. The wideband mode passes body sounds and other high frequency sounds within a wide spectral band.\nThe idealized bell and diaphragm modes should cover the ranges of frequencies of the biological sounds of interest. The frequency content of the cardiac, respiratory, fetal, Korotkoffs sounds, and other biological sounds of interest are present in an overall frequency range of about 20-2000 Hz. To allow the user to more easily hear and distinguish between sounds of interest of different frequencies, the idealized bell and diaphragm modes each emphasize a different portion of this overall frequency range.\nIn the preferred embodiment, the idealized diaphragm and idealized bell modes each have an overall passband which includes an emphasized passband and a de-emphasized passband. For the idealized diaphragm mode, the preferred emphasized passband is in the range of about 200-500 Hz, while the preferred de-emphasized passband is in the range of about 20-200 Hz. For the idealized bell mode, the preferred emphasized passband is in the range of about 20-100 Hz, while the preferred de-emphasized passband is in the range about of 100-500 Hz. To provide the distinction between the emphasized and de-emphasized passbands, the relative amplitude of the emphasized passband is preferably greater than that of the de-emphasized passband.\nThe idealized diaphragm mode emphasizes the high-frequency sounds while preserving some of the low-frequency sounds. In this way, the idealized diaphragm mode minimizes masking of high-frequency sounds (such as cardiac murmurs) by low-frequency sounds. As shown in FIG. 3B, the frequencies in the range of about 200-500 Hz are emphasized and the frequencies in the range of about 20-200 Hz are preserved but reduced in amplitude. To emphasize the frequencies in the range of about 200-500 Hz in the idealized diaphragm mode, the relative amplitude of the emphasized passband is sufficiently greater than that of the de-emphasized passband such that the resulting difference is perceptible to a user, and the attenuation of the de-emphasized passband is small enough such that the user can still hear the de-emphasized frequencies. For this purpose, a relative amplitude of the emphasized passband is in the range of about 5-15 dB greater than the de-emphasized passband is appropriate, with a preferred relative amplitude of about 10 dB.\nConversely, the idealized bell mode emphasizes the low-frequency sounds while preserving some of the high-frequency sounds. In this way, the idealized bell mode supports medical auscultation needs by minimizing psychoacoustic \"masking\" of low-frequency sounds by other sounds present at higher frequencies. As shown in FIG. 3C, the frequencies in the range of about 20-100 Hz are emphasized, while the frequencies in the range of about 100-500 Hz are preserved but reduced in amplitude. To emphasize the frequencies in the range of about 20-100 Hz in the idealized bell mode, the relative amplitude of the emphasized passband is sufficiently greater than that of the de-emphasized passband such that the resulting difference is perceptible to a user, and the attenuation of the de-emphasized passband is small enough such that the user can still hear the de-emphasized frequencies. For this purpose, a relative amplitude of the emphasized passband is in the range of about 5-15 dB greater than the de-emphasized passband is appropriate, with a preferred relative amplitude of about 10 dB.\nIn both the idealized bell and idealized diaphragm modes, attenuation in the range of about 500-1000 Hz is about 12 dB/octave, and is about 18 dB/octave above 1000 Hz. Because the human ear is more sensitive at higher frequencies, the user can still hear sounds present at frequencies above 500 Hz in both the idealized bell and idealized diaphragm modes even though they have relatively greater attenuation. To eliminate contamination of the body sounds by other environmental sounds, such as low frequency hand tremor, external noise and electronic noise, the overall passband is restricted to about 20-1000 Hz in the idealized bell and idealized diaphragm modes, and about 20-2000 Hz in the wideband mode.\nAs shown in FIGS. 3B and 3C, the \"cross-over\" frequency of the idealized bell and idealized diaphragm frequency responses is in the range of about 100-200 Hz. A uniform, relative attenuation of 6-12 dB/octave in this range is preferred to suppress masking of diagnostically significant sounds by other simultaneous and spectrally-adjacent sounds.\nThe emphasized and de-emphasized passbands in the idealized diaphragm and idealized bell modes result in an electronic stethoscope in which the idealized bell and idealized diaphragm modes are spectrally separate. The spectral separation of the idealized bell and diaphragm modes allows the user to more easily hear and distinguish between different sounds of interest. The spectral separation of the emphasized frequencies with preservation of the de-emphasized frequencies of the idealized diaphragm and idealized bell modes permits the electronic stethoscope to give the overall impression that it preserves the sound quality of a good acoustic stethoscope, which generally are not narrow-band instruments. Reduced masking of the high or low frequency sounds provided by the idealized diaphragm and idealized bell modes, respectively, means better clarity for the sound of interest, leading to more effective screening and diagnosis.\nThe wideband mode of FIG. 3A preferably provides a wider sound band with similar gain across all frequencies in the passband, but with a slight (e.g., 3-5 dB de-emphasis below 100 Hz. The wideband mode provides a response that cannot be achieved in a traditional acoustic stethoscope, and thus allows the user to hear sounds, such as some high frequency sounds from artificial heart valves and the like, which cannot be heard with traditional acoustic stethoscopes. For initial screening functions, auscultation can begin in the wideband mode, with the ideal bell or diaphragm mode selected as the user determines the frequency range of most interest. In addition, the wideband mode may be preferred for use with an external computer-based data acquisition and display system. A data acquisition system permits software selection of different frequency responses and the ability to display and manipulate these different responses. Audio playback and manipulation is also possible. The wideband mode may be preferred for this use because it passes a wider bandwidth. It shall be understood, however, that a data acquisition system, display, audio playback, etc., can be used with any of the idealized diaphragm, idealized bell, and wideband modes.\nThe above described operational modes provide the physician with distinctly different and advantageous sound processing modes. The idealized bell and diaphragm modes are more spectrally separate than with traditional stethoscopes, allowing the user to more easily hear and distinguish different sounds of interest. Traditional acoustic stethoscopes typically lack a uniform relative attenuation outside of the bell/diaphragm cross-over band, due the presence of acoustic resonances. Also, the switch over between bell and diaphragm modes with traditional acoustic stethoscopes generally required gross hand movements to engage a pneumatic valve or to turn over the chestpiece. In contrast, the different transfer functions of this invention can be quickly selected with the simple and easily operable power/mode switch 130. Thus, no repositioning of the chestpiece is required to switch between bell and diaphragm modes. In addition, the wideband mode allows the user to hear a full presentation of body sounds, and is also desirable for use with a computerized data acquisition and display system, or with an amplifier and speaker system, for example. Finally, because filtering of the body sounds is performed electronically, the manufacturing process is much more precise and repeatable than earlier nonelectronic constructions.\nFIG. 4 shows a more detailed electrical schematic diagram of the electronic stethoscope. Electrical auscultatory sounds are received from the microphone 102 and are input into preamp/high pass filter 104, which consists of one section of operational amplifier IC3 and associated circuit components. The signal is then input into each of the filters TF1 106, TF2 108 and TF3 110. Capacitor C4 may be used to adjust the low frequency response of filter TF1 106, if desired. The filters can be realized with digital filters (ex. finite impulse response (FIR) filters), with digital signal processing (DSP) based filters, or with analog filter sections. In the preferred embodiment, filters TF2 108 and TF3 110 are both preferably implemented using second-order unity gain analog filters, and the signal from the second-order sections are combined by analog summing resistors (R37 and R41 for TF2 108, and R3 and R1 for TF3 110). Second-order unity gain analog filters are a particularly simple and cost-effective way to implement the desired transfer functions. Such unity-gain sections give very sharp cutoffs and also prevent unwanted \"gain buildup\" within long chains of filter elements, thereby reducing the likelihood of nonlinear saturation effects and distortion. The second-order filters minimize the presence of unwanted environmental noise (ex. voice, air-conditioner noise, etc.). Previously-used low-order filters (typically having only a single pole) were ineffective in eliminating \"ambient noise\" contamination. Also, previous filter circuits were aimed at achieving simple low-pass or high-pass effects, not the shaped transfer functions of this invention.\nThe overall frequency response of the stethoscope is also affected by other components such as the microphone, speaker, tubing, etc. To account for these effects which might undesirably affect the overall frequency response of the stethoscope, resistors R1, R3, R37 and R41 can be adjusted to compensate for variations caused by these other components. This adjustment results in an overall frequency response that closely approximates that of the filters.\nElectronic switch 112 determines which of the three filter outputs are passed on to power amplifier 114. Electronic switch 112 is preferably implemented using a quad analog switch part number 74LV4066D available from Philips Corporation. Electronic switch 112 is controlled by sequential switching circuitry 132 which is in turn controlled by power/mode switch 130. Power-mode switch 130 is preferably a single push-button switch which, in combination with switching circuitry 132, allows the user to both power on the stethoscope, make mode selections, and manually turn off the stethoscope. Switching circuitry 132, which preferably includes dual D flip-flops IC8, transistors Q2 and Q3 and associated circuit components, tracks the depressions of power/mode switch 130 an provides appropriate sequential control to switch 112. Mode indicators 134 are preferably three high efficiency LEDs and associated circuit components each of which indicates one of the three possible operational modes, broadband, diaphragm or bell, as provided by the respective filter circuits TF1 106, TF2 108 or TF3 110, respectively.\nThe selected filter signal is passed through a 1000 Hz low pass filter to attenuate electronic noise and further reduce amplification of ambient noise. Power amplifier 114 is a low power audio amplifier which provides differential speaker outputs to the speaker 116. The power amplifier is preferably implemented using part number MC34119, \"Low Power Audio Amplifier\", available from Motorola Corporation.\nThe circuit is preferably powered using a single, commonly available AAA battery 124. Voltage regulator 122 provides DC--DC conversion of the power from the battery and also filters and regulates the voltage supplied to the circuit. In the preferred embodiment, voltage regulator 122 is an integrated circuit implemented using part number ML4890, \"High Efficiency Low Ripple Boost Regulator\", available from MicroLinear Corporation.\nVoltage regulator 122 can operate over a wide range of voltage (energy) from the AAA battery, as low as 1.0 volts and possibly as low as 0.8 volts or a wide range of power availability caused by quality or shelf aging of the battery. The voltage regulator 122 supplies a constant voltage to the stethoscope such that sound quality and gain are not affected by the battery condition or voltage. Thus the instrument will perform effectively deep into the end-of-life of the battery power source. Voltage regulator 122 further functions as a buffer and filter which isolates switching noise and ripple noise emanating from the DC--DC converter, the battery, or the battery connection system and other noise that would adversely affect sound quality of the instrument.\nIn an alternate embodiment, voltage regulator 122 is implemented using a DC--DC step-up converter in series with a linear regulator. The DC--DC converter drives the linear regulator to reduce switching noise and ripple noise on the regulated output. This implementation effectively reduces the output noise of the voltage regulator 122 to 5 mV. The linear regulator thus supplies a constant, filtered voltage to the stethoscope such that sound quality and gain are not affected by battery condition or voltage.\nVariable resistor R19 allows the user to adjust the volume of the resulting body sounds as heard through the stethoscope. Preferably, the middle range provided by variable resistor R19 is about unity gain (i.e., no amplification or attenuation of the incoming signal as compared to an acoustic stethoscope). This allows the electronic stethoscope to emulate the performance of an acoustic scope in that, in at least one volume setting, the output level is about equal to that of a traditional acoustic stethoscope. To further enhance the user's ability to hear the sounds of interest, the variable resistor R19 allows enhancement (amplification) or quieting (attenuation) of the amplitude and thus the volume of the signal output of speaker 116.\nLow battery detection/shutoff circuit 126 is preferably implemented using a 1.15 volt voltage detector, part number S-8051ANR-NB, available from Seiko Corporation, which in combination with associated circuit components monitors the power output of the battery 124. When low power levels are detected (e.g., less than 1.15 volts in the preferred embodiment) the low battery indicator 128 is illuminated to inform the user that battery power is low and that the battery should soon be replaced. In an alternate embodiment, low battery detection/shutdown circuit 126 causes power to be removed from the stethoscope when the battery voltage is less than 1.0 volts.\nAutomatic shut down circuit 118 automatically removes power from the stethoscope after it has not been used for a preselected period of time. Counter IC7 is connected through transistor Q1 to power/mode switch 130. Each time the stethoscope is powered on, counter IC7 is reset, and begins to count up to a number equivalent to a preselected period of time. In an alternate embodiment, each time the power/mode switch 130 is depressed, counter IC7 is reset, and begins to count up to a number equivalent to a preselected period of time. In the preferred embodiment, the preselected period of time is about 3 minutes. To provide for the preferred preselected period of time, the counter output Q13 is connected through Q1 to the shutdown pin on voltage regulator 122. Once the counter counts up, the output Q13 goes high, thus causing voltage regulator 122 to shut down which removes power from the circuit.\nFIG. 5 shows the preferred stethoscope chestpiece 12. Chestpiece 12 preferably includes a raised center portion 26, indented gripping surfaces 28 and 30 which, in combination with protruding edges 28 and 31 and surface 32 form the indented impressions with which the user can securely, easily, and comfortably grasp the chestpiece using the thumb and one or more fingers. The preferred stethoscope chestpiece 12 is more completely described in copending and commonly assigned U.S. Patent Application, filed on even date herewith, and entitled \"ERGONOMETRIC STETHOSCOPE CHESTPIECE\", which is incorporated herein by reference.\nThe chestpiece 12 includes power/mode switch 130 and rotary control 58 for adjustment of the volume of the stethoscope as described above. Mode indicators 134 are preferably LEDs 62, 64, and 66. Alternatively, the mode indicator 134 is a small LCD or other type of display screen to further reduce power consumption. Each LED 62, 64 and 66 is associated with a different one of the preferred three operational modes, idealized diaphragm, idealized bell, and wideband. The LED 62, 64 or 66 associated with the current operational mode of the stethoscope is illuminated to provide visual indication to the user regarding the current operational mode of the stethoscope.\nAlthough specific embodiments have been shown and described herein for purposes of illustration of exemplary embodiments, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill that a wide variety of alternate and/or equivalent implementations designed to achieve the same purposes may be substituted for the specific embodiments shown and described without departing from the scope of the present invention. It shall be understood that different hardware embodiments could be substituted for the specific embodiments shown and described herein. The circuit could be implemented on a single hybrid or monolithic integrated circuit, for example. Those of ordinary skill will readily appreciate that the present invention could be implemented in a wide variety of embodiments. This application is intended to cover any adaptations or variations of the preferred embodiments discussed herein. Therefore, it is intended that this invention be defined by the claims and the equivalents thereof.\n|Cited Patent||Filing date||Publication date||Applicant||Title|\n|US1658327 *||May 29, 1924||Feb 7, 1928||obi new yobk|\n|US2001537 *||Mar 3, 1934||May 14, 1935||Stethoscope|\n|US2340714 *||Jan 4, 1941||Feb 1, 1944||Socony Vacuum Oil Co Inc||Method and apparatus for sound analysis|\n|US2699465 *||Oct 16, 1952||Jan 11, 1955||Selden Hamilton||Device for indicating the cessation of cardiac function|\n|US3087016 *||Nov 16, 1960||Apr 23, 1963||Dahl Joseph D||Stethoscopic device|\n|US3182129 *||Nov 1, 1962||May 4, 1965||Clark etal electronic stethoscope|\n|US3247324 *||Jun 26, 1964||Apr 19, 1966||Cefaly||Acoustic and electronic stethoscope|\n|US3311703 *||May 21, 1963||Mar 28, 1967||Grinstead Carl E||Microphone with low frequency filter|\n|US3455293 *||Aug 5, 1964||Jul 15, 1969||Bethune Robert W M||Stethoscope device|\n|US3525810 *||Dec 5, 1966||Aug 25, 1970||Itek Corp||Microphone assembly for use in a stethoscope|\n|US3539724 *||Jul 3, 1967||Nov 10, 1970||Keesee Daniel C||Combination electronic and air-column actuated stethoscope|\n|US3555187 *||Dec 19, 1966||Jan 12, 1971||Rowley Donald G||Stethoscope|\n|US3651798 *||May 15, 1970||Mar 28, 1972||Parke Davis & Co||Blood pressure indicator and noise|\n|US3772478 *||Dec 27, 1971||Nov 13, 1973||Instrument Systems Corp||Stethoscope headset|\n|US3790712 *||Feb 24, 1972||Feb 5, 1974||Computer Medical Science Corp||Electronic stethoscope system|\n|US3846585 *||Sep 21, 1972||Nov 5, 1974||Plastics Dev Corp Of America||Recording stethoscope|\n|US3858005 *||Nov 15, 1973||Dec 31, 1974||Marshall R||Stethoscope with display|\n|US3989895 *||May 8, 1974||Nov 2, 1976||Daniel Sr Philip S O||Stethoscope transducer|\n|US4071694 *||Aug 31, 1976||Jan 31, 1978||Minnesota Mining And Manufacturing Company||Stethoscope|\n|US4072822 *||Sep 27, 1976||Feb 7, 1978||Yoshihito Yamada||Two-way stethoscope for direct and amplified sound|\n|US4170717 *||Jun 12, 1978||Oct 9, 1979||Walshe James C||Electronic stethoscope|\n|US4218584 *||Oct 10, 1978||Aug 19, 1980||Attenburrow Donald P||Stethoscope for use on a horse|\n|US4220160 *||Jul 5, 1978||Sep 2, 1980||Clinical Systems Associates, Inc.||Method and apparatus for discrimination and detection of heart sounds|\n|US4254302 *||Jun 5, 1979||Mar 3, 1981||Walshe James C||Electronic stethoscope|\n|US4302627 *||Apr 28, 1980||Nov 24, 1981||Kabushiki Kaisha Dental Electronics Kenkyujo||Dental stethoscope|\n|US4377727 *||Dec 24, 1980||Mar 22, 1983||Schwalbach Joseph C||Stethoscope having means for measuring pulse frequency|\n|US4401125 *||Sep 21, 1981||Aug 30, 1983||The Kendall Company||Stethoscope securing pad|\n|US4424815 *||Oct 14, 1980||Jan 10, 1984||Kuntz David H||Stethoscope-type recording system with stretched-in-time playback|\n|US4438772 *||Apr 8, 1982||Mar 27, 1984||Intech Systems Corp.||Differential stethoscope|\n|US4476436 *||Aug 25, 1981||Oct 9, 1984||Sony Corporation||Power amplifier|\n|US4498188 *||May 4, 1983||Feb 5, 1985||Stanton Magnetics, Inc.||Electronic stethoscope for monitoring the operation of a prosthetic valve implanted in a patient's heart|\n|US4528690 *||Mar 12, 1984||Jul 9, 1985||Genovation, Inc.||Compact hybrid stethoscope|\n|US4534058 *||Mar 29, 1983||Aug 6, 1985||The Hart Group||Electronic stethoscope with automatic power shut-off|\n|US4594731 *||Nov 9, 1984||Jun 10, 1986||University Of Utah||Electronic stethoscope|\n|US4598417 *||Aug 15, 1984||Jul 1, 1986||Research Corporation||Electronic stethoscope|\n|US4607643 *||Nov 9, 1984||Aug 26, 1986||Bell Floyd R||Endotracheal tube/stethoscope combination|\n|US4618986 *||Nov 4, 1983||Oct 21, 1986||The Hart Group||Electronic stethoscope|\n|US4647866 *||Jan 17, 1985||Mar 3, 1987||Siltronics, Ltd.||Audio amplifier output stage|\n|US4649928 *||Oct 21, 1985||Mar 17, 1987||Gms Engineering Corporation||Noise-immune blood pressure measurement technique and system|\n|US4672975 *||Jun 17, 1985||Jun 16, 1987||Vladimir Sirota||Stethoscope with image of periodically expanding and contracting heart|\n|US4701830 *||Oct 4, 1985||Oct 20, 1987||Fuji Electrochemical Co., Ltd.||Electronic circuit module|\n|US4720866 *||Sep 20, 1985||Jan 19, 1988||Seaboard Digital Systems, Inc.||Computerized stethoscopic analysis system and method|\n|US4731849 *||Jul 30, 1986||Mar 15, 1988||Bloomfield Iii John W||Electronic ausculscope|\n|US4783813 *||Dec 24, 1986||Nov 8, 1988||Lola R.

{"text": "Historically a cable certification PASS meant that an Ethernet cable would perform all certified tests at the tested speed. In other words, for a 1 Gb certification, a result of PASS meant that the cable would support up to 1 Gbps. At the recent Mobility Field Day (#MFD), NetAlly's CTO James Kahkoska explains why there is more to the story.\n\"The specifications are often misunderstood as the maximum something WILL work, when in fact, they are the limits on which the PHY MUST work. Ethernet PHYs are usually designed to perform well beyond the limits.\"\n\"How much stuff can you cram at one time?\"\nThe LANBERT media qualification app is a testing methodology that runs on certain NetAlly network testers that can test Ethernet cable and fiber to see the maximum speeds it is capable of with respect to the ETH PHY. Can a 1Gbps certified cable actually transport 10Gbps? Often it can, resulting in significant savings using existing cable infrastructure.\nDon't \"Heisenberg\" your network. NetAlly runs tests on one interface while test management is accessed using another. In other words, viewing a live test does not interfere with the results of the test.\nHere is a test of a pair of copper ETH cables connected using a coupler. A scenario that would not pass traditional cable certification. LANBERT shows that it can carry 54 Billion frames over the course of an hour with zero errors.\n1 hour test with 2 Off-the-shelf 1G ETH cables with a coupler\nResult: 54 Billion frames with 0 errors\nJames also showed a cable test that did not pass a 1Gb certification but could transmit data at 5Gb, thus the gap between certification and reality.\nCable fails 1G cert but will pass at 5Gbps with 0 errors\nIt is important to note that LANBERT is not a cable certification tool. It is still recommended to use certified cable runs on installation. However, the cabling infrastructure may not need to be replaced when installing equipment capable of much faster throughput than the cable was initially certified.\nHow much did it cost to certify your existing installation? How much would it cost to pull all new cable and certify? What does it cost to 'LANBERT' your existing cable? A pair of LinkRunner 10G's can run a LANBERT test and cost less than the alternatives, by far.\nI want to point out that James' presentation was exactly how I like presentations to be. His deep knowledge and experience with the subject allowed him to follow a set of bullet points and go. He didn't read it off a script and answered all the questions thrown at him by the delegates. He ran live demos. It was a very dynamic and educational presentation.\nBonus content: Watch James' presentation to see how your office chair may be affecting your network.

The U.S. Patent Office published the application by Apple for a system that would enable users to send content to other users as gifts both online and via near-field communication when users weren’t accessing the Internet. It would make purchased content more easily transferable if approved.\nITunes users already have the ability to send users a gift of a song or other type of content through email or directly through the server, but this system would not require an Internet connection.

{"text": "JDSU (NASDAQ: JDSU) says it now offers RFC 6349 testing as a virtualized network function (VNF). The TrueSpeed VNF software package can reduce costs and truck rolls and is interoperable with the company's hardware-based TrueSpeed capabilities contained within StrataSync-enabled T-BERD/MTS handheld network test and measurement instruments.\nRFC 6349 is an IETF standard set of tests that measure the end-to-end throughput of TCP transmissions. It also enables troubleshooting of underperforming links.\nOffering the TrueSpeed VNF recognizes the fact that network performance that was once predictable in a dedicated, hardware-based network appliance may now be affected in new ways when a new virtual network element is installed. For example, physical links between network equipment that previously had been accessible for monitoring and troubleshooting are being replaced by virtual interfaces, with functional connections within software in the same or different physical servers. Therefore, test capabilities must be virtualized as well.\nUse of the TrueSpeed VNF has three principal benefits, JDSU says:\n- It enables RFC 6349 compliance testing remotely, without the need to dispatch a field technician or dedicated test equipment.\n- It enables network technicians to ensure high-quality service delivery through automated evaluation of performance between various Internet points of presence, data centers, and network handoffs. Operators can leverage their installed base of server resources to evaluate customer experience and provide actionable information.\n- When field technicians need to be involved, these technicians can use TrueSpeed VNF as the far-end for their RFC 6349-compliant tests without a second device or technician.\n\"As networks move toward becoming virtualized, operators must access solutions that are standardized for what it takes to meet the high demands of ensuring service quality in complex virtual network settings -- TrueSpeed VNF is a game changer,\" said Olga Shapiro, program manager for Measurement and Instrumentation at Frost & Sullivan, a global research group. \"Impressively, JDSU has broken through with the first industry-compliant test software that serves the virtualized environment. An innovation perfectly timed while NFV [network functions virtualization] and SDN [software-defined networking] stay top of mind as both challenging and promising network architectures.\"\n\"Virtualized and software-defined networks are transforming the communications industry as new building blocks that help keep pace with technology change, unpredictable data traffic, the cloud and more -- it's vital that test be virtualized, too,\" said Sue Spradley, senior vice president and general manager in JDSU's Network and Service Enablement business segment. \"TrueSpeed VNF is a test-industry first to ignite confidence among network operators and enterprises knowing that a dynamic solution developed in close collaboration with customers will ensure quality and reliability when deploying, installing and maintaining in a virtual world.\"\nFor more information on field test equipment and suppliers, visit the Lightwave Buyer's Guide.", "label": "Yes"}

Using angle-of-arrival (AoA) technology, anchor points comprising an antenna array that is connected to a Bluetooth receiver can detect the direction, or angle, to the mobile tag, which transmits a Bluetooth signal. When a constellation of such multi-antenna anchors is deployed, AoA technology can be used to triangulate the precise location of a mobile device or tag.\nBoth explorer kits use the u-blox NINA-B4 Bluetooth 5.1 low energy module featuring Nordic Semiconductor’s nRF52833 Bluetooth® Low Energy System-on-Chip (SoC). Running on the SoC’s embedded MCU, u-blox u-connectLocate software calculates the angles of the incoming signals with no additional processing required. In the case of the XPLR-AOA-2, a positioning engine software is included to triangulate the position of the tag.\nTo provide a great experience for the end-user, u-blox is partnering with Traxmate, whose enterprise asset tracking platform is supported by XPLR-AOA-2. This solution offers a hardware-agnostic, cloud-based tracking system that makes it easier to set up the tracking environment, create buildings, upload floor plans, and specify the placement of the anchor points.\nUsers can use their offering to track the location of assets in real-time via the web or a dedicated smartphone app.", "label": "Yes"}

{"text": "SIP ALG source address translation\nWhen a SIP call is started by a phone on a private network destined for a phone on the Internet, only source address translation is required. The phone on the private network attempts to contact the actual IP address of the phone on the Internet. However, the source address of the phone on the private network is not routable on the Internet so the SIP ALG must translate all private IP addresses in the SIP message into public IP addresses.\nTo configure the FortiGate for source address translation you add security policy that accepts sessions from the internal network destined for the Internet. You must enable NAT for the security policy and add a VoIP profile.\nWhen a SIP request is received from the internal to the external network, the SIP ALG replaces the private network IP addresses and port numbers in the SIP message with the IP address of the FortiGate interface connected to the Internet. Depending on the content of the message, the ALG translates addresses in the Via:, Contact:, Route:, and Record-Route: SIP header fields. The message is then forwarded to the destination (either a VoIP phone or a SIP server on the Internet).\nThe VoIP phone or server in the Internet sends responses to these SIP messages to the external interface of the FortiGate. The addresses in the response messages are translated back into private network addresses and the response is forwarded to the originator of the request.\nFor the RTP communication between the SIP phones, the SIP ALG opens pinholes to allow media through the FortiGate on the dynamically assigned ports negotiated based on information in the SDP and the Via:, Contact:, and Record-Route: header fields. The pinholes also allow incoming packets to reach the Contact:, Via:, and Record-Route: IP addresses and ports. When processing return traffic, the SIP ALG inserts the original Contact:, Via:, Route:, and Record-Route: SIP fields back into the packets.\nHaving trouble configuring your Fortinet hardware or have some questions you need answered?

{"text": "There was some initial shareholder concern that the board members of ShoreTel may have breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the proposed sale of the company to Mitel Networks Corporation. Despite these concerns, Mitel recently completed the $530 million acquisition of ShoreTel, a company known for its solid communications solutions for small and medium sized businesses.\nThis acquisition is viewed as part of Mitel’s move to become one of the largest Unified-Communications-as-a-Service vendors in the world. Shortel brings a lot to the table, boasting an array of integrated IP voice, video, data, and mobile applications. ShoreTel Connect CLOUD recently received an INTERNET TELEPHONY Hosted VoIP Excellence Award for innovation in IP communications. Mitel, now featured in Gartner's 2017 Magic Quadrant for UCaaS, expects the acquisition to give them a $1.3 billion boost in annual sales.\nCamarillo Cuts Phone Costs in Half with UC\nThe customers living in the city of Camarillo were not getting the city services they needed when they needed them because the communications system that handled all of the city departments was failing. This was due to Camarillo’s aging PBX system, which was at the end of its useful life, and was increasingly costly to maintain.\nCamarillo residents trying to connect with city services were randomly bounced between voicemail boxes, subjected to endless hold music and frequent lost calls. Camarillo began the process of updating their communications infrastructure by installing an IP phone system in their new state-of-the-art library. The city director of general services made the decision to implement a Mitel Unified Communications solution.\nOnce installed, the Mitel/Shoretel solution helped reduce the city’s operating expenses by cutting annual communications costs in half, and eliminating the annual $4,500 in service required to keep the old legacy system running. The Mitel solution even provides each department with a customized toolbar tailored to their specific requirements. In the customer service department, supervisors can also see all call activity and agent availability in real time.\nThe city’s most critical communications are often emergency calls, and the new Mitel system automatically notifies selected security and emergency personnel at their desktops or in the field, reducing response time and getting help where it’s needed.\nExplosion-Proof Tactical VoIP Phone Systems\nIt’s imperative for workers in harsh and hazardous environments to have reliable communications. When there is an accident in an oil refinery or a blowout on an offshore drilling rig, communications suddenly becomes critical. The explosion-proof VoIP portable phones market is growing, and it offers an array of ruggedized equipment. New technology in explosion-proof wireless LAN systems is already being adopted by the petrochemical industry, chemical plants, as well as the gas industry.\nWireless phones that can handle high humidity, huge temperature differences, and exposure to fresh and saltwater environments, have proven to be both tough and dependable. VoIP phones with purpose-built hardware that can withstand an explosion have already found application in the chemical, military, and mining industries.\nBittium currently manufactures a product called the Tough VoIP Field Phone, a tactical VoIP phone for advanced military communications designed to integrate with both existing and future tactical IP infrastructures, whether wireless or wired. This field phone is a SIP V2 VoIP client that can operate in tactical environments where network services are not present or where the network topology is constantly changing.\nIP Phones Keep Mining Operations Safe\nThe Konkola Copper Mine, located in Chililabombwe, Zambia, produces over 200,000 tons of copper every year. In an effort to double that amount, the mine management made the decision to build a high-speed train line that could bring the mined copper to the surface much more quickly. That line, however, needed to run deep into the mineshaft, almost 3000 feet under ground.\nTo work safely at that depth the mine needed reliable clear and unrestricted two-way voice-communication. The Konkola team opted for ruggedized Mine Phones from Norphonic to be installed by Becker Electronics, Norphonic’s partner in South Africa. During construction of the train line, which began in 2012, Norphonic VoIP mining telephones were installed in base stations all along the railway line and in the two control rooms, on the surface and underground. A fiber-optic cable network connects the Norphonic telephones to a private branch exchange.\nThe Konkola mine is considered a very wet operation, with over 350,000 cubic meters of water being pumped out from the depths every day. Fortunately, the phones from Norphonic are both water and condensation proof, and the workers today are never out of touch with the surface.", "label": "Yes"}

This work addresses the related issue of data allocation, by proposing a novel infrastructure independent method based on the hotspot function of smartphones. In the proposed scheme, smartphones transfer data allowances among mobile users, so that users with excess data allowances act as accessible Wi-Fi hotspots, selling their data allowance to other users who need extra data allowances. To achieve this objective, we propose to use auctions with single and multiple data sellers. Efficient schemes based on auction models are discussed to sell the data allowances over successive days in a month, and over different time slots during a single day. Overall system performance is considered based on the behavior of mobile users, such as changing demands for the sale or purchase of data allowances. Together with the analytical results presented, our simulation experiments also indicate that knowledge of user behavior can significantly improve the performance of data allowance transactions, leading to highly efficient allocations among users.", "label": "Yes"}

{"text": "What is a DMZ Network?\nA DMZ or demilitarized zone is a perimeter network that protects and adds an extra layer of security to an organization’s internal local-area network from untrusted traffic.\nThe end goal of a demilitarized zone network is to allow an organization to access untrusted networks, such as the internet, while ensuring its private network or LAN remains secure. Organizations typically store external-facing services and resources, as well as servers for the Domain Name System (DNS), File Transfer Protocol (FTP), mail, proxy, Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), and web servers, in the DMZ.\nThese servers and resources are isolated and given limited access to the LAN to ensure they can be accessed via the internet but the internal LAN cannot. As a result, a DMZ approach makes it more difficult for a hacker to gain direct access to an organization’s data and internal servers via the internet. A company can minimize the vulnerabilities of its Local Area Network, creating an environment safe from threats while also ensuring employees can communicate efficiently and share information directly via a safe connection.\nHow Does a DMZ Network Work?\nBusinesses with a public website that customers use must make their web server accessible from the internet. Doing so means putting their entire internal network at high risk. To prevent this, an organization could pay a hosting firm to host the website or their public servers on a firewall, but this would affect performance. So instead, the public servers are hosted on a network that is separate and isolated.\nA DMZ network provides a buffer between the internet and an organization’s private network. The DMZ is isolated by a security gateway, such as a firewall, that filters traffic between the DMZ and a LAN. The default DMZ server is protected by another security gateway that filters traffic coming in from external networks.\nIt is ideally located between two firewalls, and the DMZ firewall setup ensures incoming network packets are observed by a firewall—or other security tools—before they make it through to the servers hosted in the DMZ. This means that even if a sophisticated attacker is able to get past the first firewall, they must also access the hardened services in the DMZ before they can do damage to a business.\nIf an attacker is able to penetrate the external firewall and compromise a system in the DMZ, they then also have to get past an internal firewall before gaining access to sensitive corporate data. A highly skilled bad actor may well be able to breach a secure DMZ, but the resources within it should sound alarms that provide plenty of warning that a breach is in progress.\nOrganizations that need to comply with regulations, such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), will sometimes install a proxy server in the DMZ. This enables them to simplify the monitoring and recording of user activity, centralize web content filtering, and ensure employees use the system to gain access to the internet.\nBenefits of Using a DMZ\nThe main benefit of a DMZ is to provide an internal network with an advanced security layer by restricting access to sensitive data and servers. A DMZ enables website visitors to obtain certain services while providing a buffer between them and the organization’s private network. As a result, the DMZ also offers additional security benefits, such as:\n- Enabling access control: Businesses can provide users with access to services outside the perimeters of their network through the public internet. The DMZ enables access to these services while implementing network segmentation to make it more difficult for an unauthorized user to reach the private network. A DMZ may also include a proxy server, which centralizes internal traffic flow and simplifies the monitoring and recording of that traffic.\n- Preventing network reconnaissance: By providing a buffer between the internet and a private network, a DMZ prevents attackers from performing the reconnaissance work they carry out the search for potential targets. Servers within the DMZ are exposed publicly but are offered another layer of security by a firewall that prevents an attacker from seeing inside the internal network. Even if a DMZ system gets compromised, the internal firewall separates the private network from the DMZ to keep it secure and make external reconnaissance difficult.\n- Blocking Internet Protocol (IP) spoofing: Attackers attempt to find ways to gain access to systems by spoofing an IP address and impersonating an approved device signed in to a network. A DMZ can discover and stall such spoofing attempts as another service verifies the legitimacy of the IP address. The DMZ also provides network segmentation to create a space for traffic to be organized and public services to be accessed away from the internal private network.\nServices of a DMZ include:\n- DNS servers\n- FTP servers\n- Mail servers\n- Proxy servers\n- Web servers\nDMZ Design and Architecture\nA DMZ is a “wide-open network,\" but there are several design and architecture approaches that protect it. A DMZ can be designed in several ways, from a single-firewall approach to having dual and multiple firewalls. The majority of modern DMZ architectures use dual firewalls that can be expanded to develop more complex systems.\n- Single firewall: A DMZ with a single-firewall design requires three or more network interfaces. The first is the external network, which connects the public internet connection to the firewall. The second forms the internal network, while the third is connected to the DMZ. Various rules monitor and control traffic that is allowed to access the DMZ and limit connectivity to the internal network.\n- Dual firewall: Deploying two firewalls with a DMZ between them is generally a more secure option. The first firewall only allows external traffic to the DMZ, and the second only allows traffic that goes from the DMZ into the internal network. An attacker would have to compromise both firewalls to gain access to an organization’s LAN.\nOrganizations can also fine-tune security controls for various network segments. This means that an intrusion detection system (IDS) or intrusion prevention system (IPS) within a DMZ could be configured to block any traffic other than Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) requests to the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) port 443.\nThe Importance of DMZ Networks: How Are They Used?\nDMZ networks have been central to securing global enterprise networks since the introduction of firewalls. They protect organizations’ sensitive data, systems, and resources by keeping internal networks separate from systems that could be targeted by attackers. DMZs also enable organizations to control and reduce access levels to sensitive systems.\nEnterprises are increasingly using containers and virtual machines (VMs) to isolate their networks or particular applications from the rest of their systems. The growth of the cloud means many businesses no longer need internal web servers. They have also migrated much of their external infrastructure to the cloud by using Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) applications.\nFor example, a cloud service like Microsoft Azure allows an organization that runs applications on-premises and on virtual private networks (VPNs) to use a hybrid approach with the DMZ sitting between both. This method can also be used when outgoing traffic needs auditing or to control traffic between an on-premises data center and virtual networks.\nFurther, DMZs are proving useful in countering the security risks posed by new technology such as Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices and operational technology (OT) systems, which make production and manufacturing smarter but create a vast threat surface. That is because OT equipment has not been designed to cope with or recover from cyberattacks the way that IoT digital devices have been, which presents a substantial risk to organizations’ critical data and resources. A DMZ provides network segmentation to lower the risk of an attack that can cause damage to industrial infrastructure.\nHow Fortinet Can Help\nThe Fortinet FortiGate next-generation firewall (NGFW) contains a DMZ network that can protect users’ servers and networks. It creates a hole in the network protection for users to access a web server protected by the DMZ and only grants access that has been explicitly enabled. Check out the Fortinet cookbook for more information on how to protect a web server with a DMZ\nIs a DMZ safe?\nThe DMZ network itself is not safe. It enables hosts and systems stored within it to be accessible from untrusted external networks, such as the internet, while keeping other hosts and systems on private networks isolated. The main purpose of using a DMZ network is that it can add a layer of protection for your LAN, making it much harder to access in case of an attempted breach.\nWhat is the benefit of DMZ?\nA DMZ provides an extra layer of security to an internal network. It restricts access to sensitive data, resources, and servers by placing a buffer between external users and a private network. Other benefits include access control, preventing attackers from carrying out reconnaissance of potential targets, and protecting organizations from being attacked through IP spoofing.\nShould you use a DMZ on your router?\nA DMZ can be used on a router in a home network. The DMZ router becomes a LAN, with computers and other devices connecting to it. Some home routers also have a DMZ host feature that allocates a device to operate outside the firewall and act as the DMZ. All other devices sit inside the firewall within the home network. A gaming console is often a good option to use as a DMZ host. It ensures the firewall does not affect gaming performance, and it is likely to contain less sensitive data than a laptop or PC.", "label": "Yes"}

All said and done, we still don’t know whether the HTC Dream/G1 will come with embedded GPS – guess we’ll just have to wait till tomorrow.\nFiled in GPS.. Read more about", "label": "Yes"}
{"text": "Building a multi-brand ecosystem of communication apps interoperable, secure and auditable by design\n14:00 PM – 14:40 PM\nSecure Chorus will be hosting a Thought Leadership Platform (TLP) at CYBERUK 2019 bringing together some of its member organisations which have expert knowledge in secure communication.\nThere are several important aspects enterprise users should consider when selecting a communication app, such as reliable data security and auditability. But there is another important aspect that remains unresolved: just as phone numbers connect enterprise users of different telephony networks, so too should they be able to connect enterprise users of different communication apps.\nFollowing two years of collaborative work Secure Chorus, a not-for-profit membership organisation serving as a platform for government-industry cooperation in the information security field, has recently announced the completion of its first set of interoperability standards for encrypted voice calls.\nThe completion of this first set of interoperability standards for encrypted voice calls specifically aimed at enterprise users has created a much-needed breakthrough, setting a strong step ahead to develop interoperability standards for developers of communication apps.\nThis workshop will bring to the stage Secure Chorus along with like-minded cybersecurity organisations which have initiated the multi-brand ecosystem of communication apps that are interoperable and secure by design. The workshop will include a case study presenting a scenario in which enterprise users from different organisations are able to communicate with ease, reliability and security using different brands of communication apps.\nElisabetta Zaccaria, Secure Chorus\nDr Andy Lilly, Armour Communications\nEd Gillett, BAE Systems Applied Intelligence\nJon Turner, Leonardo.\nCYBERUK 2019, Stream G, Interactive Workshops, Scottish Event Campus, Glasgow", "label": "Yes"}
{"text": "Skip to Main Content\nThis paper presents a distributed reinforcement learning solution to the problem of call admission control for cellular telecommunication networks in the presence of both voice traffic and self-similar data traffic, and user mobility. The developed call admission control architecture is designed to make use of only localised information, and therefore is suitable for implementation in a distributed manner. By way of computer simulations, the call admission control is shown to further improve the revenue raising capability and handoff blocking probability of the optimal maximum packing channel allocation scheme.\nDate of Conference: 21-25 Sept. 2007", "label": "Yes"}

Wrapping things up While it's now possible to configure many wireless options using the Settings app, Windows 10 has yet to include every networking feature in this experience. Quick Tip: The same Wi-Fi button can also be found in the Action Center's Quick Actions section Windows key + A. I was able to solve this.\nRight click on Start button and click on Device Manager. Connecting to Wi-Fi networks is very easy and it is possible to enable or disable Wi-Fi with just a few clicks. If you have installed Wi-Fi driver, but the adapter is turned off, the icon will be with a red cross, and if there is a network available, it will be marked with an asterisk. But for a more secure connection, skip the unsecured networks. Press Windows Logo + R on the keyboard to open the Run box.\nEntering the network security key Windows 10 spends a few seconds and tries to connect to the hidden Wi-Fi network. Before trying to connect, make sure that you are in the range of the hidden wireless network. Picking up a wireless printer will allow for remote access, enabling Windows 10 to print, fax and scan without being physically attached to the unit. If you need to make a change, you can easily do so in the last step. These days, wireless networks are virtually everywhere, giving us a way to get online without cables.

This guide will cover direct connections so if you're interested in learning more about HomeGroup in Windows 10, be sure to , which will enable you to set up and configure the sharing of printers and content.\nHowever, if you must use Command Prompt to quickly connect one or multiple computers to the same Wi-Fi network, there's a workaround you can use. Your device connects to the network. Also make sure your wireless adapter has the latest drivers installed. Not everyone needs or wants this functionality, and luckily it's really easy to turn it off.

This work, part of the broader field known as ´spintronics´, has been published in ACS Nano.\nIf you have something that would make a good news or feature item, please email email@example.com", "label": "Yes"}

{"text": "Skip to Main Content\nThis paper discusses the development of liquid-type human-body equivalent antennas using finite-difference time-domain analysis and measurements at the very high frequency band. The antennas are proposed as a human surrogate when measuring induced ankle currents. The developed antennas consist of acrylic rectangular blocks of different heights and widths and a metal plate connected together using metallic pins. The blocks in the antennas are filled with a NaCl solution. By using different combinations of the rectangular blocks, we can construct equivalent antennas for the realistic heterogeneous Japanese adult male, female, seven-, five-, and three-year-old models. The induced ankle currents in the equivalent antennas obtained when exposed to vertically polarized E-field were within 10% of their corresponding human models' values for the frequency range between 30 and 100 MHz. In order to verify the performance of the proposed antennas and the numerical assumptions used in the analysis, we carried out experimental investigations when the equivalent antennas were exposed to electromagnetic fields from nearby monopole antennas.", "label": "Yes"}

All the present attacks have at least one common feature: they exploit intrinsic Internet Protocol security flaws. As tools that make this procedure of attacks extremely simple are starting to appear, we have chosen to research various detection and prevention techniques.

If you'd prefer additional information on the different types of high-speed internet options offered refer to the material listed below.\nCable Internet Service Options\nCable broadband internet services make use of a cable TV connection to furnish customers with broadband internet accessibility. To establish the high speed internet there is a cable modem for the consumers side with a cable modem cancelling system on the cable operator's side. The gap between the modem and termination system may be around 100 miles with virtually no problems transpiring.\nCable broadband internet can perform at around 30 Mbps, but some cable modems might constrain the level of info being transmitted. Additionally, whenever utilizing cable broadband internet services you share bandwidth with other subscribers. The network monitor makes sure that bandwidth is allocated efficiently to make certain service doesn't drop in speed throughout hours when total usage peaks.\nThere are manyservice provider options for cable broadband internet. Comcast, Time Warner and Cox Communications have proven to be leading cable ISPs in the bulk of the country.\nLook into the availability of cable high-speed internet service in your neighborhood - callthe number mentioned above or key in your address within the secure search form for more information.\nDSL High speed internet Providers and Services\nDigital Subscriber Line (DSL) high-speed internet services transfer info utilizing a copper line. As opposed to dial-up services, DSL functions off of frequencies that aren't utilized when making phone calls by splitting the line into two - one for telephone calls and the second for internet use.\nDigital subscriber lines go from a large centralized location along to subscribers. This typically confines DSL circulation to a short distance of a couple of miles from the central location, however certain lines go up to five miles long. This issue also affects the exact upload and download speeds.\nThe great news is that little to no infrastructure is involved and it's a genuine high-speed internet service that transmits data at a rate as much as 10Mbps. DSL may also deliver better security and dependability than other options since it's being furnished by a phone line that often is not shared.\nLeading DSL providers include AT&T and Verizon. You can find DSL options from ISPs close to you by entering your address inside box above.\nSatellite Internet Service Information\nSatellite broadband internet services employ orbiting satellites to record and transfer broadband data between a satellite provider and it's customers. Though the upload and download speeds qualify as broadband, because data must go to the satellite and back over many miles users may experience signal delays of about 1-2 seconds.\nRegardless of the potential for brief delays, satellite high-speed internet can provide data at 5Mbps. Satellite broadband internet is ideal for those wanting high-speed internet in remote places where other internet services usually are not available.\nDISH Network and AT&T are both leading providers of satellite broadband internet services. See if satellite broadband internet services can be purchased in your area simply by entering your address within the box above.\nFiber Optic High speed internet Services and Providers\nFiber Optic is the most recent and fastest way to bring internet into the home. Networks of fiber optic cables can provide internet up to twenty five times quicker than other high-speed options and provide an incredibly dependable internet access. This is mainly because fiber optic wiring is more durable than other connections and is not affected by static, noise or storms.\nFor the people trying to find the fastest high-speed internet access fiber optic is the solution to use. Fiber optic networks are recognized for their ability to send data at rates as high as 50 Mbps. Right now, Comcast and AT&T provide fiber optic/copper hybrid services but 100% fiber optic high-speed internet services are available solely through Verizon FiOS. They began delivering fiber optic broadband internet services in 2006 and are continuously adding to their service areas.\nSee if fiber optic broadband internet services can be purchased in your community - call the toll free telephone number above to get one on one assistance or enter your street address in the protected search form.", "label": "Yes"}

{"text": "Are you considering implementing Rich Communication Services (RCS) for your business to enhance your customer communication? Our RCS Business Messaging software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform may be the solution you need. This article highlights the top five features of our platform that you need to know to improve your business communication.\nIntroduction to RCS Business Messaging\nBefore we dive into the features of our RCS Business Messaging platform, let’s have a brief understanding of what it is and why you should care about it.\nAs the world becomes more digital, businesses need to find new ways to connect with their customers. RCS Business Messaging is a platform that allows businesses to communicate with their customers in a more engaging and interactive way. Unlike traditional SMS or MMS messaging, RCS Business Messaging provides a multimedia-rich interface with interactive buttons, carousels, and more.\nSo, what is RCS? RCS stands for Rich Communication Services, and it is a mobile communication protocol that enhances standard text messaging. With RCS, users can send media-rich messages, such as high-quality images, videos, and audio files. RCS also allows for real-time chat, group messaging, and read receipts.\nWhat is RCS Business Messaging?\nRCS Business Messaging is a platform that leverages the RCS technology to improve business-to-customer communication. With RCS Business Messaging, businesses can send multimedia-rich messages to their customers, providing a more engaging and personalized user experience. RCS Business Messaging also allows for two-way communication, enabling customers to respond to messages and engage with businesses in real-time.\nOne of the most significant advantages of RCS Business Messaging is that it is a native messaging solution. This means that customers do not need to download any additional apps to use it. RCS Business Messaging is built into the messaging app on their phone, making it easy and convenient to use.\nWhy is RCS important for businesses?\nRCS Business Messaging offers a range of benefits for businesses, such as higher user engagement, improved customer experience, increased brand awareness, and higher conversion rates.\nOne of the main advantages of RCS Business Messaging is that it provides a more engaging and interactive user experience. Businesses can use multimedia-rich messages to showcase their products and services better, increasing user engagement and ultimately driving sales conversions.\nRCS Business Messaging also enables businesses to provide better customer service. With real-time chat and two-way communication, businesses can respond to customer inquiries quickly and efficiently, improving the overall customer experience.\nAnother advantage of RCS Business Messaging is that it can help businesses increase brand awareness. By providing a more engaging and personalized user experience, businesses can create a stronger connection with their customers, which can lead to increased brand loyalty and advocacy.\nIn conclusion, RCS Business Messaging is a powerful platform that can help businesses connect with their customers in a more engaging and interactive way. By leveraging the multimedia-rich capabilities of RCS, businesses can improve user engagement, provide better customer service, and ultimately drive sales conversions.\nFeature 1: Rich Media Support\nOne of the key features of our RCS Business Messaging platform is its rich media support. With RCS Business Messaging, businesses can send images, videos, and audio files to their customers.\nBut what does this mean for businesses and their customers? It means that businesses can now showcase their products or services in a more dynamic and engaging way. For example, a clothing company can send images of their latest collection, allowing customers to see the clothes in detail and get a better sense of the fit and style. A restaurant can send a video showcasing their dishes being prepared, making customers’ mouths water and enticing them to make a reservation.\nSending images, videos, and audio files\nBy including multimedia elements in their messages, businesses can create more targeted and engaging communications. Product images, explainer videos, and audio messages can help customers better understand a product or service and increase their likelihood of making a purchase.\nBut it’s not just about making a sale. Rich media can also be used to provide customers with helpful information. For example, a bank can send a video explaining how to set up online banking, making it easier for customers to manage their finances. A travel company can send images and videos of popular destinations, inspiring customers to book their next vacation.\nWith our RCS Business Messaging platform, businesses can leverage this feature to create more engaging and personalized communication with their customers.\nInteractive buttons and carousels\nOur RCS Business Messaging platform also supports the creation of interactive buttons and carousels. These elements allow businesses to create more dynamic and user-friendly communication by enabling users to interact with the message content directly.\nFor example, a restaurant can send a message with a carousel of menu items, allowing customers to easily browse and select what they want to order. A retailer can send a message with a button that takes customers directly to a product page, making it easier for them to make a purchase.\nWhether it’s for making a booking or providing feedback, interactive buttons and carousels offer a simpler and more user-friendly way for customers to interact with businesses.\nFeature 2: Advanced Analytics and Reporting\nOur RCS Business Messaging platform offers advanced analytics and reporting features to provide insights into campaign performance and user behavior. In today’s fast-paced business world, it is crucial to have access to real-time data to make informed decisions. Our platform provides just that.\nReal-time message tracking\nWith our real-time message tracking feature, users can track the delivery, open rate, and engagement rate of their messages in real-time. This ensures that businesses can stay on top of their messaging campaigns and respond quickly to developments. For example, if a campaign is not performing as expected, users can quickly identify the problem and make adjustments to improve performance.\nReal-time message tracking also provides users with valuable insights into user behavior. By analyzing how users engage with messages, businesses can optimize their campaigns for better engagement and higher conversion rates.\nIn-depth campaign analysis\nOur RCS Business Messaging platform also provides a variety of analytical tools that help users analyze user behavior, campaign performance, and other metrics. These tools include:\n- Conversion tracking: Users can track the conversion rate of their campaigns to understand how many users are taking the desired action.\n- User segmentation: Users can segment their audience based on various criteria, such as demographics, behavior, or location. This allows businesses to tailor their campaigns to specific groups of users.\n- A/B testing: Users can test different versions of their campaigns to understand which version performs better.\nBy understanding user behavior and campaign performance, businesses can optimize their campaigns for better engagement and higher conversion rates. Our in-depth campaign analysis tools provide users with the insights they need to make informed decisions and drive results.\nFeature 3: Seamless Integration with CRM Systems\nOur RCS Business Messaging platform is designed to enhance your business communication capabilities, and one of the key features that makes it stand out is its seamless integration with Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems.

This status can be described by optical link parameters being characteristic of the distortion of an optical signal transmitted through the optical fiber link, such as chromatic dispersion (CD), polarization mode dispersion (PMD), self-phase modulation (SPM), etc.\nThere have been proposed many costly solutions for performance monitoring of optical links, including optical measurement techniques as well as techniques which use additional modulation tones (not in the standard). At the ECOC 2004, M. Wrage and B. Spinnler have proposed a method of distortion identification by analyzing equalizer coefficients (FFE tap settings) of a finite impulse response (FIR) equalizer in the paper “Distortion Identification in WDM Networks by Analysis of Electrical Equalizer Coefficients”. The solution proposed in this paper is based on the equaliser setting of a FFE, which is used for all signal bit patterns. Due to the limited parameter set (taps) it works only for a limited dispersion range or fails if mixed distortions are present (e.g. PMD and CD).\nIt is the object of the invention to obtain a reliable estimate of the status of an optical transmission link by determining estimates of optical link parameters being characteristic for distortion induced in the optical link.\nThis object is achieved by a method for estimating at least one optical link parameter using a Viterbi equalizer generating averaged values of signal amplitudes of a distorted optical signal transmitted through an optical link for a set of decided bit patterns, the method comprising the following steps: (a) forming a first parameter set characteristic of a distorted signal sequence using the averaged values for a given sequence of bit patterns, (b) comparing the first parameter set to a plurality of reference parameter sets characteristic for reference signal sequences of the same sequence of bit patterns, each of the reference parameter sets having a known value of the at least one optical link parameter, and (c) selecting the reference parameter set with the closest correlation to the first parameter set, the known value of the at least one optical link parameter of the selected reference parameter set being used as an estimate for the at least one optical link parameter.\nThe inventive method uses a Viterbi equalizer which already sorts the received signal (samples of it) according to the bit pattern. Each bit pattern consists of a sequence of subsequent decided bits being correlated by inter-symbol interference (ISI), the ISI being characteristic for the distortion of the optical link. Therefore, much more parameters as in the state of the art can be used to quantify and identify different distortions (=dispersions).\nFor a given sequence of bit patterns, a first parameter set consisting of a sequence of averaged values characteristic for the unknown optical link parameter (distortion) is generated. This parameter set is compared to reference parameter sets consisting each of a sequence of averaged values with a known value of the optical link parameter. The reference sequence having the parameter set which is closest to the first parameter set is chosen as an estimate for the optical link parameter. It is evident that the precision with which the optical link parameter is estimated depends on the number of reference parameter sets used. If two reference parameter sets have about the same (closest) correlation to the first parameter set, the estimate of the optical link parameter is accomplished by interpolating between the known values of the two reference parameter sets.\nIn a preferred variant, the averaged values of the signal amplitudes are derived from histograms of signal amplitudes generated by the Viterbi equalizer. For enabling the decisions of Viterbi equalizers (channel modeling) and avoiding erroneous decisions it is well-known to use a monitoring device generating statistical data about the signal transmitted through the optical link. In such a device, a histogram of a probability distribution of signal amplitudes of an optical signal transmitted through the optical fiber link is generated. Each peak of the probability distribution, which is about equal to the mean value, is characteristic for the received signal amplitude belonging to one of the bit patterns. It might be appropriate to characterize a bit pattern by a signal amplitude at or close to the temporal center position of the bit pattern.\nIn a further preferred variant, steps (a) to (c) are carried through for a second parameter set using further statistical data about the signal amplitudes derived from the histograms. The histograms may serve to determine more statistical data than just the mean value for each bit pattern.\nIn a further variant, the further statistical data comprises the variance of the signal amplitudes. The mean value of the signal amplitude may be used in conjunction with the variance of the signal amplitude for determining certain optical link parameters such as the optical signal to noise ratio (OSNR).\nIn a preferred variant, the comparison in step (c) is carried through by a maximum likelihood estimation, in particular by calculating a minimum square error. In this way, an easy comparison of the reference parameter sets with the first parameter set is provided.\nIn a highly preferred variant, the at least one optical link parameter is selected from the group consisting of chromatic dispersion (CD), polarization mode dispersion (PMD), self-phase modulation (SPM), and optical signal to noise ratio (OSNR). These (and other) properties of the optical fiber link may be advantageously determined by the inventive method.\nIn a further variant, step (a) is preceded by a reference parameter set generating step, generating a reference value for each bit pattern and for each reference parameter set. The reference value may be the averaged value, the variance, etc. of the signal amplitude.\nIn a highly preferred variant, the given sequence of bit patterns is derived from a sequence of transmitted bits. In this way, an on-line determination of optical link parameters for a transmitted signal is possible.\nIn yet another variant, three subsequent decided bits are used to form a bit pattern. The three subsequent bits are correlated through inter-symbol interference (ISI), i.e. the transmitted bit in the center of the three subsequent bits is influenced by the bit transmitted directly before and the bit transmitted directly after the bit in the center. The ISI is due to signal distortion.\nThe invention is also realized in a computer program product comprising a software or a hardware implementing the method as described above. The computer program product may be implemented as a hardware in a DSP-ASIC or as a software in a processor reading the histogram data of the Viterbi-ASICs. The dispersion values may then be made available to the network management or the control plane of the optical network.\nFurther advantages can be extracted from the description and the enclosed drawing. The features mentioned above and below can be used in accordance with the invention either individually or collectively in any combination. The embodiments mentioned are not to be understood as an exhaustive enumeration but rather have exemplary character for the description of the invention.\nThe invention is shown in the drawing.\nThe technique explained below is based on the existence of a Viterbi equalizer 1 as shown in\nDepending on the subsequent bits appearing at the output of the Viterbi core 3, a shift register 4 distributes the input to the Viterbi core 3 to one of the output channels of a multiplexer 5. The outputs are fed into a histogram generator 6. Commonly the signal at the input of the multiplexer 5 is analog-to-digital converted (not shown in the FIGURE) and the histogram generator 6 comprises digital registers. However, it is also possible to use an analog multiplexer as an alternative solution. The process described above will be explained in greater detail below:\nThe shift register 4 contains a first, second and third bit ijk and is connected to the output of the Viterbi core 3. The second bit j is the decided bit for a given sampling time (t), the first bit i is the decided bit at a previous sampling time (t−1), and the third bit k is the decided bit at a subsequent sampling time (t+1). The contents of the shift register 4 are shifted to the left after each time step.\nThe reason why three bits ijk are registered in the shift register 4 is that the correlation length of the inter-symbol interference (ISI) is one bit, i.e. only the subsequent, third bit k and the previous, first bit i have an influence on the analog value of the optical signal measured for the second bit j. There are eight possible states of the shift register 4, each one defining a bit pattern. The first bit pattern a is identified with the three-bit state ijk=000, the second bit pattern b is identified with the three-bit state ijk=001, etc.\nThe shift register 4 is connected to the multiplexer 5 whose input is connected to the input of the Viterbi core 3. The analog value of the signal at the input of the Viterbi Core 3 is therefore delivered as an input to the multiplexer 5 which selects one out of its eight possible output channels in dependence of the state of the shift register 4. Thus, the analog values for each of the eight decided bit patterns are delivered in separate channels to the histogram generator 6.\nThe histogram generator 6 uses the analog values or the digitized analog values measured for each of the bit patterns at the entrance to the Viterbi core 3 to generate a probability density function pdf(a), pdf(b) etc. for each of the bit patterns (channel model). An output of the histogram generator 6 is used as a feedback signal to the Viterbi core 3, adapting the branch metric unit in dependence of the statistical data generated in the histogram generator 6. From the probability density functions pdf(a), pdf(b), . . . the mean values M(a), M(b), . . . of signal amplitudes of the analog signal can be derived for each bit pattern a, b, etc. The mean values M(a), M(b), . . . measured in\nIt is practical to evaluate the signal amplitude only at the sampling time of the actual transmitted bit j. However, it is also possible to determine the value of the signal amplitude over a short time interval before and after the decision time of the second bit j, the time interval being much shorter than the overall duration of the three-bit sequence ijk. The time average over this short time interval may be taken in the histogram generator 6 before the statistical evaluation is carried through.\nThe statistical information about the optical signal in the histogram generator 6 is dependent on the distortion of the optical link 2, as the ISI is distortion-dependent. Consequently, the data being present in the histogram generator 6 can be used to calculate optical link parameters such as chromatic dispersion (CD), polarization mode dispersion (PMD) etc., with the method described below.\nFor this method to work, it is necessary that the averaged values M(a), M(b) etc. for each of the eight bit patterns are determined in the Viterbi equalizer 1. These values being known, a sequence of bit patterns, e.g. abdf, is defined in a first step 7 of the method and a sequence of mean values M(a), M(b), M(d), M(g) is generated from this sequence, so that a first parameter set S(M(a), M(b), M(d), M(g)) is formed.\nIn a second step 8, the first parameter set S is compared to a plurality of reference parameter sets R. The reference parameter sets R consist of a sequence of averaged values of the analog signal with known values of the distortion parameters to be estimated, in the present case CD and PMD. The first/second reference parameter set R1/R2 corresponds to a first/second value CD1/CD2 of chromatic dispersion and a first/second value PMD1/PMD2 of polarization modulation dispersion. Of course, it is possible for the reference parameter sets R to differ only in one optical link parameter, such that in the above case, the values of polarization mode dispersion are equal for all of the reference sequences R whereas the CD values are not.\nIn a third step 9, the reference sequence with the closest correlation to the first parameter set S is chosen. The correlation is defined in the sense of a maximum-likelihood correlation, being evaluated e.g. by calculating the minimum square error between the parameter set S and the parameter sets R, i.e. min(S−R)2. The reference parameter set with the closest correlation to the first parameter set S is determined and the corresponding distortion values CD, PMD define the estimated link parameters for chromatic dispersion and polarization mode dispersion, respectively.\nBecause of the use of averaged values a noise-free (but still distorted) analog sequence is reproduced. This analog sequence may or may not have been transmitted through the optical link 2. It is sufficient that the sequence of bit patterns is significant for the analog signal. However, the sequence of bit patterns it is chosen preferably in such a way that it has a significance for the transmitted signal. Especially, it is possible to derive the sequence of bit patterns from a sequence of decided bits transmitted through the optical link 2, as is described below.\nAs an example for the connection between bit sequences and bit patterns, it is supposed that for a given time step a bit sequence consisting of three subsequent bits a=000 corresponding to the first bit pattern a is present in the shift register 4. In the following time step, a new decided bit “1” is present at the output of the Viterbi core 3. Consequently, the shift register and adopts the state ijk=001 corresponding to the second bit pattern b. In the following time step, a new decided bit “1” is present at the output of the Viterbi core 3, leading to a state ijk=011 of the shift register 4, corresponding to the fourth bit pattern d. If the decided bit of the subsequent time step is “0”, the state of the shift register 4 is ijk=110, corresponding to the seventh bit pattern g.\nIn this way, the sequence of decided bits transmitted through the optical fiber link 2 consisting of six subsequent bits 000110 gives rise to the sequence of four bit patterns abdg. It is thus possible to carry through the three steps 7, 8, and 9 with a sequence of bit patterns being derived from the sequence of transmitted bits. The length of the sequence of bit patterns may be chosen to be four, as above, though it is also possible to use a sequence consisting of more or less bit patterns.\nThe method described above may be easily modified by using additional statistical data from the histogram generator 6, e.g. the variance of the amplitudes of the bit patterns a, b, etc. Thus, a second, third etc. parameter set can be generated for each sequence of bit patterns. The correlation of these parameter sets and the reference parameter sets for these additional parameters can be calculated as described above. As a result, optical link parameters with greater accuracy can be obtained. In this way, it is also possible to estimate the signal-to-noise ratio. The variances, which can be extracted from the different histograms, are directly linked to the optical signal to noise ratio (OSNR). The lower the OSNR, the more noise and the bigger are the variances. The OSNR values can be determined by comparing the histogram variances with the variances of reference patterns R with a known OSNR, or can directly be calculated from the histograms using theoretical approaches.\nThe reference parameter sets R can be obtained before the first step 7 by generating a look-up table in which an averaged value of the analog signal is stored for each value of the at least one optical link parameter and for each bit pattern. These averaged values have either been measured or obtained by numerical simulation for each distortion parameter separately or for mixed distortions (i.e. CD and PMD). It is also possible that the reference parameter sets are calculated on-line in a processor while performing the method as described above. The method described above may be implemented as hardware or software as part of a Viterbi equalizer control.\nIn summary, when a Viterbi equalizer is present in an optical receiver, the above method for the determination of distortion parameters can be easily implemented almost without additional cost as a software in the Viterbi equalizer. As Viterbi equalizers generally adapt themselves to the incoming signals in the range of milliseconds, a millisecond speed for performance monitoring of optical links can be reached. Furthermore, the method described above uses more parameters than the state of the art and consequently has the potential to be more precise.\n|Cited Patent||Filing date||Publication date||Applicant||Title|\n|US6600794||Feb 10, 1999||Jul 29, 2003||Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V.||Method and device for nonlinear maximum likelihood sequence estimation by removing non-linear inter-symbol-interference (ISI) from a received signal|\n|US6707850||Aug 1, 2000||Mar 16, 2004||Agere Systems Inc.||Decision-feedback equalizer with maximum-likelihood sequence estimation and associated methods|\n|US6781938 *||Apr 5, 2002||Aug 24, 2004||Fujitsu Limited||Expected value generation unit and a data reproduction apparatus|\n|US20020191257 *||Dec 26, 2001||Dec 19, 2002||Anthony Bessios||Compensation of polarization mode dispersion in single mode fiber for maximum-likelihood sequence estimation|\n|EP1422845A2||Nov 20, 2003||May 26, 2004||Fujitsu Limited||Optical dispersion monitoring method and apparatus|\n|EP1494413A1||Jul 2, 2003||Jan 5, 2005||CoreOptics, Inc., c/o The Corporation Trust Center||Channel estimation and sequence estimation for the reception of optical signal|\n|WO2004034611A1||Sep 4, 2003||Apr 22, 2004||Siemens Ag||Method and arrangement for determining signal degradations in the presence of signal distortions|\n|1||Agazzi: \"Maximum likelihood sequence estimation in the presence of chromatic and polarization mode dispersion in intensity modulation/direct detection optical channels\" IEEE International Conference on Communications, vol. 5, Jun. 20, 2004, pp. 2787-2739, XP010709741.|\n|2||Agazzi: \"Maximum-likelihood sequence estimation in dispersive optical channels\" IEEE Journal of Lightwave Technology, vol. 23, No. 2, Feb. 2005, pp. 749-763, XP002338784.|\n|3||Wrage, Spinnler: \"Distortion identification in WDM networks by analysis of electrical equalizer coefficients\" European Conference on Optical Communication, vol. 4, 2004, pp. 824-825, vol. 4, Kista, SE.|\n|Citing Patent||Filing date||Publication date||Applicant||Title|\n|US8233873 *||Aug 29, 2006||Jul 31, 2012||University Of Florida Research Foundation, Inc.||Device and methods for enhanced matched filtering based on correntropy|\n|US8601357 *||Jan 3, 2013||Dec 3, 2013||Cisco Technology, Inc.||Method for obtaining a set of path metrics and equalizer for a receiver for digital data|\n|US9112604 *||Feb 14, 2011||Aug 18, 2015||Exfo Inc.||Reference-based in-band OSNR measurement on polarization-multiplexed signals|\n|US20120201533 *||Feb 14, 2011||Aug 9, 2012||Exfo, Inc.||Reference-Based In-Band OSNR Measurement on Polarization-Multiplexed Signals|\n|U.S. Classification||398/25, 398/158, 398/33|\n|International Classification||H04B10/08, H04B10/00|\n|Cooperative Classification||H04B10/00, H04L25/03178|\n|Dec 14, 2005||AS||Assignment|\nOwner name: ALCATEL, FRANCE\nFree format text: ASSIGNMENT OF ASSIGNORS INTEREST;ASSIGNOR:BULOW, HENNING;REEL/FRAME:017370/0310\nEffective date: 20050208\n|May 10, 2011||FPAY||Fee payment|\nYear of fee payment: 4\n|May 7, 2015||FPAY||Fee payment|\nYear of fee payment: 8", "label": "Yes"}

{"text": "Several years ago, it was recognized that there are three broad factors that when combined drive exponential bandwidth growth:\nBandwidth Explosion = Increased number of users * Increased access rates and methods * Increased services\nThis simple equation highlights three separate trends that must be continuously monitored in order to ensure that Ethernet continues to evolve at a pace to meet the demands of a given application space. Many are familiar with Ethernet’s dominance in the enterprise/campus and data center spaces. The reality, however, is that many application spaces are seeking to leverage Ethernet, and Ethernet is evolving to provide these target application spaces with specific solutions. Therefore, it is important to apply this equation to a target application space to understand its trajectory and subsequent networking needs.\nOne of these application spaces is mobile networks, where Ethernet-based solutions are being leveraged throughout the mobile network for front, middle, and backhaul of mobile traffic. The bandwidth demands of the mobile network application space, in particular China, was used as justification for the start of the IEEE 802.3 Beyond 10km Optical PHY Study Group. As shown in Figure 1, China is forecasted to experience a bandwidth explosion in its mobile networks that by 2020 will result in it having nearly 40% more data per month than the nearest compared global region.\nFigure 1 - Mobile Network Bandwidth Trends (2017)\nA recent presentation into the IEEE 802.3 New Ethernet Applications Bandwidth Assessment Project provided data that enabled further insight into the challenge for China’s mobile networks and provides a real-world example of the noted bandwidth explosion equation.\n#1: Number of 4G Users\nToday, China has 1.1 billion 4G users. In 2011, the penetration was only at approximately 10%, but by June of 2018 had grown to 73.5%.\n#2: Increased access rates\nFrom Q4 2016 to Q2 2018, the average download rate of 4G users has grown by 70%, growing from 11.93 Mb/s to 20.22 Mb/s.\n#3: Traffic consumption per household\nMonthly data mobile traffic per month grew from 0.2 GB to 4.2 GB.\nThe data provided by these three trends helps to explain the mobile network traffic growth highlighted in Figure 1. It should also provide clear direction to the implication of deployment of 5G throughout mobile networks, which are already being stressed by 4G deployment.\nJohn D' Ambrosia,\nNetworked cars could provide additional stress onto mobile networks. In 2019 it is forecasted that there will be 117 million cars produced globally. Over the past decade there has been significant investment by the Ethernet community in developing a family of solutions over a single-twisted pair for use in automobiles. Standards for 100 Mb/s Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet have already been completed - with new standards for 10 Mb/s, 2.5 Gb/s, 5 Gb/s, and 10 Gb/s Ethernet underway as we speak.\nAs these vehicles become increasingly networked and connected to the cloud with their own growth in access rates - they will present yet another significant pressure that mobile networks will be called upon to service. As an emerging space, it is unclear yet what applications will be introduced, and as a result, the potential bandwidth demand of connected cars, especially for autonomous driving, could be staggering, especially in a highly congested metro area.\nSuch trends can only mean one thing to the Ethernet community - it too will need to continue to evolve - providing new solutions that will support the future bandwidth demands of mobile networks. There are a number of efforts underway already within the IEEE 802.3 Ethernet working group that are directly applicable to them:\nIEEE P802.3cn 50 Gb/s, 200 Gb/s, and 400 Gb/s over Single-Mode Fiber - this fast-tracked project will leverage the PAM4 technology developed to support links at these rates currently up to 10km and build upon them to expand their reach to 40km.\nIEEE P802.3cp Bidirectional 10 Gb/s, 25 Gb/s, and 50 Gb/s Optical Access PHYs - this effort will develop bidirectional optical access PHYs for 10GbE, 25GbE, and 50GbE for point-to-point applications where the availability of fibers is limited. Wireless infrastructure is one of the key application spaces that this effort targets.\nIEEE P802.3ct 100 Gb/s and 400 Gb/s over DWDM Systems - this effort will see Ethernet evolve to support reaches up to 80km over a DWDM system. While the main drivers for this effort have been Multi-Service Operators (MSO) and Data Center Interconnect (DCI), it is easy to see how these solutions could be utilized for future mobile network aggregation and core backhaul.\nIt should be clear to all that the overall trend in all of this is that there is a growing diversity of applications that are calling upon the Ethernet community to provide them with their solutions for today and tomorrow. It has never been truer when one says “Ethernet Everywhere!”.", "label": "Yes"}
{"text": "Tag archives for Microcontroller regulated power supply\nIn any electronic products or projects there is always a source of power for the system to work. This is called a power supply. The source of this power can come from different sources like the mains AC voltage, a battery or even from a renewable power source like a solar panel wind turbine or fuel cell to name just a few. The most common source of power is usually the mains AC, with this power, we need a transformer to convert the 220V 50Hz mains or the 120V 60Hz if you are living in the United States of America to a lower voltage required by the electronic circuit, this can be typically between 6V and 12V when 5V regulated DC is needed.

{"text": "A Bluetooth speakerphone is a hands-free phone device that allows a person to take calls without the use of a headset. There are models that plug into a wall through an AC adapter, and ones that run on a battery and can be used wirelessly. Bluetooth speakerphones in vehicles have become increasingly popular since many US states banned the use of cellphones while driving.\nSome individuals wear headsets or earpieces that connect to their Bluetooth, but those who do not like the feeling of those accessories may prefer a speakerphone. Those designed for the car typically clip onto the visor over the driver’s seat, and can be recharged through the cigarette lighter.\nThe speakers are fairly compact and all of the components are usually integrated into a single housing, but some models may have a speaker which extends through a small arm. Most models have buttons for basic functions such as making and ending phone calls, redialing a number, or adjusting the volume.\nDepending on the affiliated cell phone, a Bluetooth speaker can support conference calls and is capable of voice recognition — those that can do the latter are the safest for use in the car since they can be used 100 percent hands-free from start to finish. People who make a lot of calls while driving will appreciate the echo-cancelling technology found in various Bluetooth speakerphones.\nThe speakerphone connects to the user’s cell phone utilizing Bluetooth technology, which uses radiofrequency waves to pair devices without the use of wires or cables. Once the devices have been linked, the user can adjust their call system so that all incoming calls are directed to the speakerphone anytime it is near the cell phone. More advanced models can double as media players, automatically switching from music playback to an incoming phone call.\nThough usually associated with smartphones, Bluetooth technology is capable of so much more. If one doesn’t have their USB cable with them but needs to transfer files from one device to another — like a smartphone to a tablet, or a tablet to an external drive — information can be sent via Bluetooth, expelling the need of USB ports and various cables altogether. So long as two Bluetooth enabled devices are within range of one another, they can send and receive files regardless if they are on different networks.\nBluetooth also allows for a Wi-Fi sharing technique called tethering. If one device is connected to the Internet and the other is not, Bluetooth can tether the two devices together so each can employ Wi-Fi. Bluetooth tethering even consumes less battery power than connecting a device directly to the local Wi-Fi network. Bluetooth users have the option to create a Personal Area Network (PAN). The PAN operates within a 30-foot range and can support up to seven Bluetooth-enabled devices, each of which can communicate with one another, share data, and use the same Wi-Fi connection.\nAs stated previously, Bluetooth compatible devices are not limited strictly to cellphone use; there are a magnitude of items available on the market designed to mitigate hassle. Wireless keyboards, for example, allow the user to sit anywhere leisurely, within the connectivity rage, without being tied down to a desk. If you work in large office, a Bluetooth enabled printer can easily connect to your computer without any hardware, software, or Wi-Fi.\nBluetooth enabled gaming consoles help create a more engaging and active experience, without the fear of ripping a wired console from its hub. These are especially useful in motion-sensitive games, like Wii sports games, where the player does a lot of movement and can’t afford to be tied down by wires.\nIt is not associated with it today, but the name Bluetooth actually has violent roots. It was the nickname of Danish King Harald Blatand. King Blatand violently brought together areas of Denmark, Norway, and Sweden in the mid-900s. As for the nickname, some historians conclude it came from the king’s love of blueberries. Others say it sprung from the fact that the warrior’s teeth would turn blue after eating the flesh of his defeated enemies.\nA Swedish man named Sven Mattisson developed the form of Bluetooth technology that we use today. In 1995 Mattisson’s Ph.D. thesis at the California Institute of Technology on circuit simulators gained the attention of Ericsson Mobile Communications. The company brought Mattisson in to help develop a technology that would allow mobile phones to connect through short-range radio links, rather than cables. This technology was called Multi-Communicator Links (MC Links). By 1997, Intel’s head of technological development Jim Kardach partnered with Mattisson to explore more devices that could be connected using MC Links.\nMattisson and Kardach decided that their technology would be most useful as an open standard in the frequency range of 2.45 GHz. The duo invited Nokia, IBM, and Toshiba to organize their own company-based development groups to work on the project. In 1998, the first MC Links technology became available for public consumption, under the name of Bluetooth. Consumers were initially unimpressed by Bluetooth’s slow download speeds — a mere 721 kilobits per second — and it took Mattisson and Kardach nearly a decade to release a version capable of the 20 megabits per second we’re accustomed to today.\n3/F,Building#10, Jiu Xiang Ling Industrial Zone,Xili\nNanshan District, Shenzhen, 518055, China", "label": "Yes"}

{"text": "Sample PageLifestyle Blogger\nThis is an example page. It’s different from a blog post because it will stay in one place and will\nIn the previous chapter I have worked on the Beagle Bone Blue as Flight Controller Unit (FCU) which is the brain and the most critical part of drone design. All sensors and components work around the choice of FCU, type of frame, type of mission and the overall budget. In this chapter I have focused on the sensors connected directly to FCU namely:\nArdupilot autopilot application that we successfully compiled on Linux board Beagle Bone Blue supports a wide variety of sensors from many different manufacturers. Being an open source application, it is supported by developers all across the world and its scope of sensor integration is ever increasing. The application supports multiple communication protocols such as I2C, SPI, UART (or Serial) and CANBUS (in particular UAVCAN) protocols. Beagle Bone Blue provides hardware support for all these communication protocols. However, in the course of making our drones, I have utilized UART and I2C communication protocols only.\nA brief introduction to all the supported protocols is as under:\nAn important concept adopted by Ardupilot autopilot application as part of its sensor driver architecture is the front-end and back-end split mode of implementation. The main Ardupilot code only calls into the front end libraries i.e front end sensor drivers. When the system starts up, the front-end creates one or multiple instances of back-ends based either on\nPointers to each back-end is maintained by front-end. It is held within an array named drivers and incase of user settable parameters; it is always held within front-end. \nUnderstanding the back-end working of code which runs in background. Sensor raw data is collected and converted to standard units and then the values are held in buffers within drivers. Incase of copters, the vehicle main code thread runs regularly at 400Hz. It accesses latest available data through methods in drivers’ front-end. For example , the AHRS/EKF pulls the latest accelerometer, gyroscope and compass information from the sensor drivers’ front-ends. The running of background threads ensure that the high-rate communication with the sensor as it does not affect the main loop’s performance. Serial (i.e UART) interfaced sensor codes are safe to run in the main thread as the underlying serial driver collects data in the background and includes a buffer. It does not affect the main vehicle code. Hence, I have preferred UART as the interface of choice for most sensors.\nGPS with Compass features\nThe connectivity diagram for GPS (with Compass) to Beagle Bone Blue as Fight Controller Unit (FCU)\nGPS with compass is the bare minimum sensor required for reliable and stable flight operation of a drone. Now for a drone to be manually controller we need a controller. Incase of drones we have a Radio Controller (RC) Transmitter available in various channel configurations to control the drone operations manually from ground station. The RC transmitter is binded to a RC receiver on radio link. The RC receiver present onboard the drone is connected to Flight Controller over wired link running the option of multiple communication protocols.\nRC Receiver protocols enable communication with the Flight Controller Unit (FCU). Some communication protocols are proprietary and some are non-proprietary. The list of protocols are PWM (universal), PPM or CPPM (universal), SBUS (Futaba, Frsky), IBUS (Flysky), XBUS (JR), MSP (Multiwii), CRSF (TBS Crossfire), SPEKTRUM1024 (Spektrum DSM2), SPEKTRUM2048 (Spektrum DSMX), FPort (Frsky). I am using the SBUS protocol for the choice of RC receiver i.e X8R. It is connected to SBUS interface on Beagle Bone Blue incase of all three drones i.e X-Type, V-Type and Hexacopter. It requires The 5V and 1-2 Amp power is provided separately through DC convertor and the overall connectivity diagram in Figure 3.10. SBUS is a bus protocol utilized by receivers in order to send commands. Its a digital loss-less bus architecture protocol which uses only 3 wires (signal, power, ground) for multiple channels. Compared to commonly used PPM which is a signal in time domain, SBUS protocols is digital and requires a serial port on the flight controller i.e UART. A single serial line supports upto 16 channels with each receiving a unique command. This SBUS protocol uses an inverted serial logic. It has a baud rate of 100000, 8 data bits, even parity, and 2 stop bits.

Frsky has two TX protocols, ACCST and ACCESS. I have utilized Frsky RC transmitter.\nA2 RP LIDAR Model: A2M3, A2M4 was integrated with the Hexacopter. Its a 360-degree 2D laser scanner (LIDAR) with 6 meter range. It supports up to 4000 samples of laser ranging per second with high rotation speed. It performs 360-degree 2D to generate 2D point cloud data which is used for mapping, localization and object/environment modeling. The scanning frequency is 10hz (600rpm) with best resolution of 0.9-Degrees. It adopts low-cost laser triangulation measurement system. It emits modulated infrared laser, during its ranging process. The signal and the laser signal is reflected by the object in its field of view. The reflected signal is sampled by vision acquisition system and then the embedded DSP starts processing the sample data with distance and angle between object and RPLIDAR through communication interface. The motor system, drives the range scanner core which rotates clockwise to perform the 360-degree scan.\nThe light source of LIDAR system is a low power infrared laser. It drives the system by using modulated pulse. The duration of laser light emission is very short and complies with Class I laser safety standard as per product datasheet. The sample point data contains the information as shown in picture below:\nLIDAR Connectivity diagram\nThe LIDAR on drone has to be mounted horizontally. It could be on the top or bottom. The black cable must point towards the rear of the vehicle. The field of view of the sensor must remain unobstructed which includes the , drone frame parts like legs, GPS mast or any other component.\nThe APM power Module is connected to ADC port of the Beagle Bone Blue. The power module sits between Input from battery and power distribution for drone components with XT60 Connectors, Male and Female connectors on respective sides. The APM module provides clean power from battery and also provide voltage measurement between 6-28V (upto 6s battery) and 90 Amps of current. The signal output for voltage measurement is 5V while ADC input range is 1.8V max. Thus, we use 1k and 2k resistors to keep signal voltage less than 1.8V. The pinout and connection details are in the connectivity diagram below:-\nElectronic Speed Control (ESC) and Motors\nThe connectivity of Electronic Speed Control with motors and Flight Controller Unit i.e Beagle Bone Blue is illustrated in picture below.\nWe have utilized the Brushless DC motors procured off the shelf. The motor and ESC make and model details are available in figure above. The BLDC motor meets the requirement for a mechanical commutator as required in drone application by reversing the motor set-up. As a result, the windings become the stator and the permanent magnets therefore become part of the rotor. These BLDC motors are powered by MOSFET bridge controllers popularly known as ESCs using pulse-width modulation (PWM). The windings are commutated in a controlled sequence. As a result of that, it produces a rotating magnetic field which “drags” the rotor around and consequently drives the attached load which in our case our propellers.", "label": "Yes"}

{"text": "Apple might be planning to transition its iOS devices to USB-C connectivity later this year. There are rumors about Apple shipping a Lightning -> USB-C cable and a new 18W charger, rendered here. This means that the new iPhone buyers will be using USB-C for charging with a cable. This will also provide the ability to use the fast charging offered by the Type-C without the need for additional accessories.\nAccording to a Digitimes report, Apple might add Type-C port to the iPhones itself. This will be a huge change and will bring an end to the Apple proprietary lightning cable. It will come to an end after being the primary option to charge the iOS devices for past seven years.\nThe iPhones started coming with the lightning ports in 2012 with the introduction of the iPhone 5. Prior to that, all the iPhones came with iPod’s 30-pin dock connector. The introduction of lightning cable was a controversial decision and a large ecosystem of docks and accessories became incompatible with the newer devices.\nThe shift from lightning to Type-C wouldn’t be as tough as that from 30 pin connector. This is because of the number of accessories that depend on lightning is far less than the 30 pin connector. This along with the fact that a lot of accessories made for Type-C were being used with dongles already will mean the change will be more than welcome.\nApple has already started to use Type on the Macs and it will bring the Apple ecosystem even closer. There is big potential for USB-C on iPad too, enabling it to become more of a fully-fledged PC replacement.\nAs of now, all the three upcoming iPhones and the iPads will come bundled with an 18W USB-C charger.

{"text": "As the world becomes more and more digital, machines for manufacturing have had to keep up with new technology. Machines need to communicate data between other machines in a process. In the past, this was done through physical wire connections from one machine to the next, then it transferred to several machines being connected through a physical wire source. Now as data becomes more valuable as manufacturing becomes more automated and less hand checked, digital connections have become more necessary and competent.\nNew interfaces and connections such as HMI, clouds, and new PC-based systems allow for faster and higher quality connections. As these connections have improved, the key has been to create more open systems. Cords that originally connected between two machines would not allow for ease in converting to new machines and setting up group systems. Open systems allow multiple machines to interact and are more customizable to the manufacturer's needs. These systems work most optimally when IT is combined with automation to provide data while producing efficiently.\nThere are 4 main reasons to integrate IT with machine controls:\n- PCs allow for integration\n- PLC data storage and retrieval\n- Improved data\n- Remote access to information\nPCs and Integration\nThese two are connected because integrating new components and testing devices into manufacturing as it becomes more automated, is important. The ability to connect and change out components is key in keeping up with technology and with PC systems, this can be changed and done much more efficiently. Using older technology and machines do not allow for easy retrofitting, but by keeping up with IT equipment, new models may be able to be retrofitted.\nAdding PLCs to the manufacturing process has improved the quality and speed that automated machines can track data. PLCs can receive, store, then send data out to continually check for errors in machines. This can save on costs of fixing problems with machines before they break completely and can also help companies see if the machines are functioning at optimal efficiency.\nWith PLCs bringing in and sending so much data, IT is necessary to combine with this device to refine the data and analyze it. Other software programs can be paired with PLCs to analyze data for efficiency, estimated time of production or shipping time lines. Because the data comes in so fast and in bulk, these programs need to keep up with nearly real time in evaluating the data. This is where IT can contribute to manufacturing more now than ever.\nManufacturing has advanced to be able to be located where the resources are if that is more efficient, and as companies grow, manufacturing may take place in a different location than the corporate office. For these reasons, remote access to controls and data files is essential in growing a company. IT can set up and incorporate software and programs that allow information from a plant to be accessed via online program or even on a mobile device app. The benefits of this are numerous, but the important factor is that data is available readily for managers, which improves efficiency in communication.\nOverall benefits of combining IT and automation:\n- Easier integration of improvements and data collectors\n- Improved data analysis and tracking\n- Remote access to information and data\n- Improves efficiency of manufacturing\n- Keeps a company up to date with technology\nWhile there's an ongoing debate between PLC and PC based controls, chances are that your process will benefit from integrating industrial data collection with IT. However you choose to collect production data, specifying and programming machine controls like a PLC panel can be a challenge without expert technical support.\nPanelShop.com has the trained staff and manufacturing capacity to deliver the highest quality control panels for your project.

Chats, SMS, phone conversations organized in the form of a transparent history, grouped by client, date, etc. may be used as an additional element of the CRM system in a company.\n- Slican MobileCTI – mobile version of Slican WebCTI application, i.e. support and management of your “phone” from a mobile phone.\nThe open protocols used by the IPL-256 server enable integration with CRM class programs, hotel applications or external e-mail applications. The combination of telephony with external databases enables better and more complete use of information concerning customer service. This facilitates everyday communication, supports sales processes and streamlines information flow.\nThe IPL-256 server with CRM – more information, better communication:\n- phone calls from the level of contact data in a CRM application records can be made by clicking on a telephone number displayed on the screen\n- viewing active phone calls within the company from a CRM application level\n- phone call billing – cost control, possibility to assign them to a project, to costs of customer service or to other types of cost used by the specific company\n- downloading phone calls recorded in telephone exchanges and attaching them to CRM contractor’s files\n- assigning text memos or records from telephone exchanges to client’s files.\nThe IPL-256 server with the hotel application – streamlines the operation and mangement of:\n- electronic locks, interphones, parking gates operated from the reception or other hotel phone-based services\n- operation of room-status: cleaned, failure, etc.\n- handling mini-bars in rooms: full, to replenish, etc.\n- audio surveillance and recording – audio monitoring of selected rooms\n- recording – permanent or temporary recording of conversations and data about calls to and from the reception\n- intercom – sound and PA system – calling people, reception announcements\nTAPI – integration of the IPL-256 server with MS Outlook:\n- contacts from the MS Outlook database are used directly from the mail account simply by clicking the “Make a call” window\n- other applications are not required for cooperation and integration with a PC\n- each incoming call results in the display of the contact’s “business card” on the computer screen and gives immediate access to memos, mails, etc.\n- when calling companies/people from the MS Outlook contact database you can use other functions of Microsoft applications – recording phone conversations, calls to contact groups, etc.\nAdvantages of networking using the IPL-256 server in an IP network:\n(VoIP protocols: eSSL or SIP 2.0)\n- creating of Slican servers network – up to 15 servers / up to 3999 subscribers (extended Slican Smart Link protocol)\n- logging of up to 100 VoIP operators\n- possibility to use up to 32 VoIP channels\n- possibility to network with other manufacturer’s servers (SIP 2.0 protocol)\n- networking tandems – creating a convergent network\n- using server functions – Mobile Phone, CallBack, call transfer, call relay, CLIP number identification, etc.\n- using open CTIP protocols (cooperation with WebCTI / PhoneCTI)\n- use of open HOTELP protocol (enables cooperation with different hotel applications)\n- cooperation with IP DECT system phones\n- integrated Ethernet (LAN / WAN) interface for local and remote management\n- remote access through ISDN\n- voice over IP transmission\n- regardless of the number of linked Slican servers, they can be centrally managed by a single administrator from one work position\n- telecom cost reduction thanks to integration of subscribers from various locations into one network\nNetworking by connecting IPL-256 servers to a LAN / WAN network\nNetworking IPL-256 servers in a single telecommunication structure results in the possibility to support larger numbers of users using VoIP links:\n- 224 ports in IPL-256.WM\n- 256 ports in IPL-256.3U\nConvergence of IPL server tandems results in a server system using separate software.\nIPL-256 IP PBX server – as an application and protocol server:\nThe IP PBX IPL-256 as a server for the CTIP, XML, HTTP, HOTELP, TAPI and EbdRECP protocols enables integration with different applications by other manufacturers with the added value of implementation of industry software without additional investment costs associated with hardware and other equipment.\nSlican’s company applications were designed around the idea of universality and the availability of many devices. They can be implemented without the need for any additional server besides the IPx Slican class solutions. CTI Slican tools provide comprehensive communication by increasing the efficiency of a business and administration for internal communication and external PBX networks.\nThe IPL-256 server ensures full cost control of phone calls. The applications offered provide post and online information about the generated call costs and functional solutions used in servers to optimize costs for telephony in the company. The customers have LCR functionality and the Slican BillingMAN application at their disposal, the use of these applications bringing notable benefits and savings.\nLCR (Least Cost Routing) is a telecommunication solution which enables routing of outgoing calls by PBX to the specific operator’s network, VoIP or GSM gate while also selecting the least expensive route. System LCR can also select calls from the services of a single operator, e.g. by selecting from among different tariff rates.\nThe IPL-256 server uses data from telecommunication operators (tariffs saved in the system) and autonomously routes the traffic to a link which is currently available at the lowest rate. Depending on the user’s decision and network resources it is possible to define routing of international traffic through a cheap VoIP network and to make calls to mobile phones through a GSM card installed in the Slican server. Calls between company callers are then completed using the operator’s offer at promotional prices or even free of charge.\nSlican BillingMAN enables the settling of calls based on price lists and tariffs specific for each operator or defined individually by the server owner. The application is great for settling traditional tariff plans, such as per second tariffs and initial fees. Extended version of the application – BillingMAN.plus additionally creates statistics concerning the number of generated calls and occupation analysis for individual lines stemming from it.\nThe data is summarized in the form of tables and charts, presenting the analysis results in a quick and convenient way. The reports may be prepared using time as a parameter – for a specific day or for a selected number group (e.g. for a sales department), a single subscriber or for a selected call category, e.g. international calls.\nThe reports may be also created for incoming traffic. The information collected by the analysis module may prove whether the phone traffic in a company is organized correctly or what steps need to be taken to improve it. The information may serve as a valuable guideline for the organization of departments such as Call Centers, services and other services which must be always available for contractors.\nReaching clients efficiently, offering effective and professional service as well as easy contact with the company have a key meaning in the operating strategy of a modern company. Good work organization is a basis for the correct operation and development of a company. It is very important for Call Centers to minimise the reaction time for incoming calls and to provide fast resolution of the clients’ issues. The IPL-256 server is a great solution which will enable your company to create an efficient Call Center in any company.\nAdvantages of using the IPL-256 IP PBX server in Call Centers:\n- alternative for costly systems created with extended Call Centers in mind\n- flexible adjustment of the server size to meet the individual needs of the company\n- possibility of integration with external, additional applications to improve the organization of the operation of the Call Center\nThanks to the integration of the IPL-256 server with Call Center applications, the user achieves the following:\n- identification of incoming numbers and caller data before answering\n- quick access to information associated with the client in an ERP system\n- access to incoming call history to facilitate supervision of the client communication process\n- transparent data presentation\n- easy addition of new customers to the Call Center database\n- convenient access to billing information categorized by individual consultant and customer\n- recording and archiving of conversations with Call Center customers\n- flexible integration due to use of open protocols with external protocols in accordance with caller requirements\nAdvantages for a Call Center of using the IPL-256 IP PBX server:\nFlexible navigation, friendly and useful to customers calling the company or clients who need to contact an office. Using a Slican INVENIO infoline ensures that the customer does not have to listen to long announcements or music. INVENIO enables quick connection with a specific department or extension number.\n- the company or office staff may receive fewer calls since they only have to answer calls requiring personal contact\n- all incoming calls will be answered\n- multiple incoming calls to one number can be answered\n- a caller may contact the operator at any time and from any level of INVENIO\nINVENIO infolines enable messages to be recorded, information to be given or music to be played to customers waiting to be put through. This may include information about a current promotion in a hotel, restaurant menu or an important announcement in an office. INVENIO infolines may be used by sales departments to organize competitions or promotional actions. INVENIO enables clients to be served in several languages. Selecting the language for messages may be done at the beginning of the call.\nSlican information lines enable the most important customers to be highlighted by assigning them a VIP PIN, which gives priority phone calls with a specific employee, i.e. “VIP customer account manager”. The IPL-256 enables you to create up to 99 different information lines and combine them together to create comprehensive automatic address systems.\nExample use of an INVENIO infolines in an IPL-256 server:\nThe latest API infolines enable integration of information sent from an external database with the data recorded in the IPL-256 server.\nYou need only the IPL-256 server and a company customer database to achieve efficient organization of work. Reliable integration will enable the company to offer efficient customer service at the highest level. Calls intended for field offices will be rejected.\nExample of an API information line being used in a consulting company:\nThe quality of customer service is very important in small, medium, or large companies. Many companies and institutions require modern solutions which enable the recording of phone calls and management of the recordings Slican RecordMAN is an application suite intended for cooperation with the integrated Embedded Recording system.\nRecordMAN includes two applications:\n- RecordMAN.server – enables records to be downloaded from telephone exchange resources and copies to be made on the hard disk of a computer connected to a local network\n- RecordMAN.client – to search for and listen to records, with filtering and playing functions available using different criteria\nThe application offers high reliability, in particular for companies and public institutions where all calls are recorded.\n- the IPL-256 server can be used for the simultaneous recording of up to 12/36 channels (using SD/HDD memory)\n- the duration of recorded calls is limited only by the capacity of the disk used for storage\n- guarantees extensive tools and filters for searching records\n- levelling of rights to download and listen to the records; password protection guarantees high security level\n- facilitates work; listening to the calls recorded by a specific company and multicontextual analysis enables quick reaction to signals from customers\n- supports the operation of government and local government administration units by recording calls in emergency notification centres, applicants’ calls to offices, etc.\nUsing the teleconferencing function offered by the IPL-256 IP PBX server lets you improve how work is organised. Employees are not distracted from their work by the need to take business trips lasting several days. They simply return to their work and customers after the teleconference is over. Slican’s teleconferences are an economical and optimum solution for companies.\nThe IPL-256 server enables you to use teleconferences both for company exchange subscribers and for external numbers, including GSM and IP.

{"text": "Recently, the most rapid advances in personal tech haven’t come in the smartphone market, but rather in the automobile industry. Cars are becoming increasingly digitized, with one in every four cars to be equipped with 5G connectivity by 2025. These smart vehicles can gather data in real-time and share it both between themselves and with external systems.\n“Connected cars,” or cars that can communicate with systems outside of themselves, are particularly advantageous for the fleet vehicle industry. Whether it’s a fleet of Amazon delivery trucks or city taxi cabs, these connected vehicles can collect data minute by minute and report it to a central dispatcher database. All that data generated allows managers to track productivity factors, like idling time versus driving time, along with vehicle maintenance needs. Connected cars also simplify fleet management by reporting all vehicle locations to a single database in real-time.\nThis level of connectivity can be achieved in multiple ways. But thus far, commercial fleet operators have mainly opted to achieve connectivity through telematics, a technique that involves external devices being installed on vehicles post-manufacturing. Those physical devices are connected to a centralized software where they send and transmit data.\nHowever, new developments have started a bit of a dispute in the vehicle industry, with opposing sides arguing whether embedded connectivity is more beneficial than connectivity added in post-manufacturing. Let’s take a look at both.\nPost-hoc connectivity, or connectivity brought in post-manufacturing, is mainly achieved through telematics, which involves integrating physical telecommunication devices into information systems. This heavy-on-hardware approach has come to dominate car fleets, but critics say the sector is being left behind in its refusal to embrace a more efficient kind of connectivity.\nWhen applied to vehicles, telematics combines GPS systems and black box technologies to record and transmit vehicle data, including speed, location, system errors, and maintenance requirements. The data is then transmitted to a centralized information server, which is likely located at the fleet dispatching office.\nTelematics typically utilizes a single database to which all vehicle intel is transmitted, and from which the data can be monitored. The fleet vehicles can transmit live locations by satellite, cellular connections, or radio transmission. The database can then leverage that data to create digital maps to visualize vehicle positions in real-time, along with other valuable data such as vehicle status (ignition on/off) and fuel mileage.\nAn on-board modem, comparable to a Wi-Fi router, enables this level of connectivity. But in all, it’s quite a lot of hardware that can come with a hefty price tag. Sure, the bare bones approach with a simple GPS is cost-effective, but that system can’t generate all the rich insightful data as advanced telematics system can.\nSo, what’s the alternative?\nIn contrast to the post-hoc approach, connectivity can also be embedded, meaning it’s built into the vehicle. This puts the onus on the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) to develop standardized tech through which vehicles can communicate with one another, prioritizing connectivity from the vehicle’s inception and not integrating it after the fact.\nOne of the main advantages of embedded connectivity is that it circumvents the need for a black box or other data recording device. That means dispatchers can access the vehicle’s information at any time. With post-hoc connectivity, while the location data can be read by the dispatcher, the remaining black box data typically needs to be read by the manufacturer during servicing. This means operators of embedded fleets can more easily access data at a more reasonable price in comparison to fleets connected post-hoc.\nA potential disadvantage to the embedded approach is the lack of synchronicity: the data can’t necessarily be shared between all vehicles in the fleet. Different OEMs will offer varying levels of connectivity and diverse types of data in different formats, so the available data can lack standardization if a fleet uses multiple vehicle models or manufacturers.\nFurthermore, in post-hoc connectivity, data points and the kind of data collected can be tailored to a fleet’s needs, rather than only being limited to the data that a manufacturer is willing to share. Because fleet operators of embedded vehicles are not the ones installing or adjusting the connectivity system, they’re at the mercy of the manufacturer.\nNonetheless, embedded connectivity simplifies the process of data generation and data analytics. Diverse data from multiple points is collected minute by minute, and the fleet vehicles are exchanging data in real-time that can be accessed without the need for an intermediary device.\nUnlike post-hoc connectivity which is a “read-only” solution, meaning the data is transmitted but not analyzed, embedded connectivity allows the vehicle’s electrical control unit (ECU) to receive insights from processed data and act accordingly to improve ride quality and safety.\nRegardless of the benefits of telematics, that kind of after-the-fact connectivity is going to become increasingly obsolete as autonomous driving fleets take off. This is because the vehicles are already embedded with a degree of connectivity in their development. Since autonomous cars already have AI built into them, they’re connected by design.\nThat’s not to say traditional telematics is obsolete yet, but the phase out has begun. So commercial fleets and OEMS should centralize their operations around new technology suited for the future. That starts with connectivity at inception, not as an add-on.\nShahar Bin-Nun, CEO", "label": "Yes"}

The NavIC receiver has been developed by SAC and can receive signals from both IRNSS and GPS satellites.\nEarlier dependent on GPS, now the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has taken a decision to replace US-owned GPS with NavIC (Navigation with Indian Constellation) in all future missions for Navigation, Guidance and Control (NGC). The NGC is the brain of the launch vehicle responsible for directing the propulsive forces and stabilising the vehicle along the desired path to achieve the orbit with the specified accuracy. It also defines the optimum trajectory in real time to reach the specified target and steer the vehicle along the predefined path and inject the spacecraft into the mission targeted orbit.\nIn December 2016, NavIC receiver was flight tested in ‘piggyback’ mode onboard PSLV C-36 mission and later for the first time given active role navigating PSLV C-38 that launched Cartosat-2 series satellite along with 30 other co-passenger satellites in June this year. The desi navigation technology has performed well giving ISRO scientists confidence to completely replace GPS with NavIC. Besides SAC has newly developed a miniaturised processor, which is smaller and powerful than the earlier processor.", "label": "Yes"}
{"text": "With the holidays over and 2013 on its way, Mozilla is back at work and the results are already visible, the latest stable version of Firefox is almost here. Firefox 18 is ready and available for download if you know where to look, Mozilla hasn't made the official announcement.\nIt makes little difference, the new features and improvements in Firefox 18 have been long in the works.\nMac users should be happy with the new support for Retina displays, which should make Firefox look great on high definition displays and also improve how web pages are rendered on devices sporting these screens.\nFirefox 18 also boasts preliminary support for WebRTC, just like Mozilla boasted a few months back along with smaller improvements like a new image scaling algorithm, based on Chrome's. On the security front, Firefox 18 blocks mixed scripting content by default.\nThe immediate result is a speed boost, a significant one. But perhaps even more important is the ability to improve, add or change the optimization algorithms used by the JIT without completely rewriting it.\nThis modular approach should make it a lot easier to gain performance in the future. You can read more about IonMonkey here.\nThe other big feature in Firefox 18 is WebRTC, a new web technology which will enable web apps to initiate communication channels across browsers, i.e. make possible fully web-based Skype which doesn't require any plugin.\nMozilla boasted that it would have full support for the nascent technology by the end of 2012. It's 2013 already, obviously, but it's safe to say Mozilla achieved its goal.\nThough, even that is relative, Firefox offers support for getUserMedia (prefixed) – which handles the webcam and the mic, peerConnection (also prefixed) – which handles the audio and video data streams between the people in the conversation, and Data Channel – which enables the participants to send any data they want, peer to peer.\nFirefox is now the most far along browser in supporting WebRTC, but the proposed specs are still evolving and it's still very experimental which is why Mozilla calls it \"preliminary\" support. That said, almost everything that can currently work in WebRTC does so in Firefox.", "label": "Yes"}

One feature of the system enables each user on the network to know the location of other users at all times. As NASA sends its next generation of astronauts to the moon, along with their robot helpers, that capability will be vital.\nRaytheon has a long history of supporting the military with the use of its battle-proven MicroLight and the radio's Enhanced Position Location Reporting System capabilities. Now, it hopes to transition that technology to space as NASA readies for future missions to the moon, Mars and beyond. Raytheon's partnership with NASA dates back to the Apollo missions when Raytheon provided solutions for the Saturn launch vehicle, lunar modules, and space suits.\n\"Leveraging our Department of Defense technologies to meet the mission of NASA is a natural extension of our integrated solutions,\" said Jerry Powlen, vice president, Raytheon Network Centric Systems' Integrated Communications Systems. \"One of the clear benefits to NASA is minimal investment in new technology because these systems are proven and readily applied to space.\"\nRaytheon Company, with 2005 sales of $21.9 billion, is an industry leader in defense and government electronics, space, information technology, technical services, and business and special mission aircraft.

{"text": "We live in the age of technology and innovation, and we know that it has become an inseparable part of our lives at this point. The same rules applies to our internet as well. The internet has become an integral part of us, and it is something we all need in order to stay connected in today’s world. This is why every “smart” device we have is connected to the internet. When connected to the internet, speed is a very important factor. Now, if you are currently dissatisfied with your current internet provider, and are looking for a new one, you can check out Acanac, a private internet provider that operates in different parts of Canada. We have also taken the liberty to point out a few characteristics of a good internet provider.\n- A good internet provider is able to provide a consistent and stable internet connection, and the connection rarely goes down. There are a lot of internet providers that offer high speed internet, but at the same time, happen to run into connectivity problems frequently. As a rule of thumb, minor lagging and problems in connection are okay 2-4 times a month, but anything beyond that is bad and should be avoided.\n- A good internet provider is able to provide what they are selling. So, if your internet provider boasts a certain internet speed, you should actually measure the connectivity speed through different apps to see if they are actually providing whatever they are advertising.\n- A good internet provider gives good internet packages that includes a comprehensive data plan at market competitive prices.\n- Good customer support and service is an important aspect of a good internet provider. So, they should be able to solve your issues, and be courteous and reassuring at the same time as well.", "label": "Yes"}

{"text": "RM will have its usual major presence at BETT, showcasing its Community Connect 3.1, the latest version of its networking product for schools and colleges. Again, there are no revolutions with Connect, but new features include version 2 of RM Tutor, which allows the teacher to monitor, demonstrate and control a number of pupil workstations in the classroom simultaneously. Other new features include \"pass the chalk\" - enabling a student workstation to control a demonstration - and audio conferencing. The teacher can also monitor the class with thumbnail views of students'\nIn network management, RM's Application Wizard simplifies the processes of adding new applications software and the way it's shared with users and groups. The management console has also been improved. Community Connect 3.1 also enables mobile devices such as laptops and RM's new tablet PC to be managed and the increased bandwidth available (RM now uses 54Mbitssecond wireless; see page 71) allows greater network integration. All of these are welcome improvements.\nBut what looks like it will really take off in 2003 is server-based computing, aka \"thin client networks\". Citrix is the current leader with Metaframe, which has been around for some time. It's now available in the XP version which delivers the latest Microsoft applications to thin devices (such as terminals and older PCs).\nEssentially, thin client networks run applications on the server not the local machine - the only things sent across the network are key presses and mouse clicks from the client and the screens are returned by the server. Basing applications on the server allows greater control and easier management for the network manager - upgrades only need to be done at the server.\nGenerally, thin client networks don't require their users to have as much bandwidth since only screens and clicks are transmitted. Applications can also be run remotely more easily, as on a LAN (local area network).\nAs the world becomes more web-focused, most information and transactions are delivered through web pages. Competent computer users have no difficulty with the desktop metaphor, but for amateurs it's not that obvious. For them, the simplicity of clicking a hot spot on a web page is much more obvious than a desktop cluttered with files, applications and folders and it's not a massive leap to ask why we don't drop the Windows desktop and all deliver applications through a web page.\nThis is exactly what Citrix has done with NFuse Elite, a \"portal out of a box\" that provides a one-stop screen for information and applications. The portal delivers information, transactions and applications through the web - applications such as Word just appear as an icon on the home page alongside key information about the school or college. Nfuse also provides an easy way for schools and colleges to move to a portal as the single gateway to all their information systems.\nAdtcom is the new kid on the block with thin client software and its New Moon Canaveral iQ enables central deployment of applications software. Canaveral provides for control and management of server-based Windows applications such as Word and is relatively simple and cost effective to use.\nCanaveral iQ is direct competition for Citrix, providing web-enabled applications on the LAN and via remote access. And although it doesn't go as far as an out-of-the-box portal, it is much more competitively priced than other thin client systems.\nOne issue with thin client networks is that they need a powerful cluster of servers, but they will work with older desktop hardware and offer the promise of working with a wide range of \"thin\" devices (ie those lacking in processor power and memory) - for example, Hewlett Packard. The Compaq arm, pre-merger, has long been supplying thin client devices and server farms as part of its Evo range.\nBetter still, thin client devices are cheaper and smaller than fully featured PCs, reducing the total cost of ownership of the network over time - or at least that's the theory. It all sounds too good to be true - simpler, cheaper computing more amenable to remote access. The key element is the network server-based computing demands a reliable network. After all, when the network's down so is your computer.\nLes Watson is pro vice-chancellor at Glasgow Caledonian University\nCommunity Connect 3.1. Contact RM for package prices. RM.

As the government gets more and more familiar with the benefits that IoT can deliver specifically for smart cities – key concerns around security, privacy and trust are likely to grow. A comprehensive understanding about the cyber security threats that these technology brings is being still worked upon but its rapid adoption is exposing potential security breaches”, said a FICCI-KPMG report on 'Cyber Security in Smart Cities'.\nExperts, too, have expressed concerns on cyber threats looming over the Smart cities.\n“The development of Smart cities has huge potential to bring benefits for businesses, city services and people. But the security of the underlying digital infrastructure is the key to success. Imagine the impact on Bhubaneswar if a successful cyber-attack shuts down parts of smart city application infrastructure because security wasn’t developed correctly or considered at all”, said Piyush Ranjan Rout, a Bhubnaeswar-based urban planner.\nIt is vital that collaboration occurs between vendors, device manufacturers and governments to develop more stringent regulation around IoT security. Cities of tomorrow will undoubtedly be smarter as the years go on but getting IoT security right will be the difference between a Smart city and a secure city, he added.\nThe FICCI-KPMG report has suggested a five-point action plan to enable Smart cities to keep pace with the cyber security needs and build a cyber-resilient and trusted environment across the entire value chain. The key measures suggested by the report are establishing a formal cyber security framework, building in security from the ground up, deployment of security in integrated form across value chain, establishment of cyber resilient and trusted environment and engagement across industry, knowledge bodies and regulatory groups to standardize security measures.", "label": "No"}
{"text": "- ROHM’s new offering also help in miniaturisation of the drive system and lower power consumption\n- Designed for improving automotive powertrain systems in next generation electric vehicles\nIn recent years, an increase in next-generation electric vehicles (xEVs) has accelerated the development of smaller, lighter and more efficient electrical systems. However, improving the efficiency while decreasing the size of the main inverter in the drive system was challenging as it required further advancements in power devices.\nROHM has now announced cutting-edge 4th Generation 1200V SiC MOSFETs optimised for automotive powertrain systems, including the main drive inverter, as well as power supplies for industrial equipment.\nWith the capacity of the onboard battery increasing to improve the cruising range of EVs, the demand for shorter charging times is increasing as well. To meet this, designers need SiC power devices capable of providing high withstand voltage with low losses. For power semiconductors, there is often a trade-off relationship between lower ON resistance and short-circuit withstand time, which is required to strike a balance for achieving lower power losses in SiC MOSFETs.\nROHM’s new SiC MOSFETs are capable of delivering low ON resistance with high-speed switching performance, contributing to greater miniaturisation and lower power consumption in a variety of applications, including automotive traction inverters and switching power supplies.\n1) Improved trench structure delivers low ON resistance\nA 40 per cent reduction in ON resistance can be achieved as compared to conventional products without sacrificing short-circuit withstand time by further improving its original double trench structure.\n2) Lower switching loss by significantly reducing parasitic capacitance\nLower ON resistances and larger currents tend to increase the various parasitic capacitances in MOSFETs, which can inhibit the inherent high-speed switching characteristics of SiC.\nThe new SiC MOSFET can achieve 50 per cent lower switching loss over conventional products by significantly reducing the gate-drain capacitance (Cgd).\nBare chip samples have been made available from June 2020, with discrete packages to be offered in the future.", "label": "No"}

{"text": "Whenever you set up an \"Email Connection\" for one of your \"Lead Generation\" elements (just as it is showcased in this article), you have the option of choosing to integrate with an \"Email Delivery Service\".\nThis means that instead of sending the notification emails from the server of your website, these will be sent using the email delivery service that you integrate with. So, when someone will use the form you create with the \"Lead Generation\" element, the notification email about it will be sent through the email delivery service of your choice.\nSelect the email delivery service\nTo use this option, you will have to first click on the field with the \"Send emails from this site\" option, when you are setting up the \"Email Connection\", in the left sidebar:\nThis will open a drop-down which, besides the default \"Send emails from this site\" option, will contain every email delivery service that you have previously set up an API connection with for your website. In this example, we have MailRelay and SendGrid:\nWhen you have found the connection you want to use in the drop-down, click on it to select it.\nNote: In case you have not yet set up an API connection between an email delivery service and your website, then the drop-down will only contain the default option.\nTherefore, you will first have to set up the API connection with the services you want to integrate with, before being able to use them for the \"Email Connection\". You can do this using your Thrive dashboard.\nUse the Message section - Set up the emails\nAfter you have selected the email delivery service, you can continue with setting up notification email (and optionally a confirmation email as well) using the options from the \"Message\" section, below the \"Email delivery service\" section of the drop-down in the left sidebar:\nClick on the \"Compose Email\" button from here. This will open a pop-up where you can set up various aspects of the notification email.\nYou can define the \"To\" field (the email where you want the notification emails to be sent), the \"From Name\" field (the name from where the email is sent), as well as the \"Subject\" and the \"Message\" of the notification email. We have described in detail how to define these in this article.\nYou will see only one difference in the pop-up, between the cases when you use an email delivery service to send the notification emails, and when you choose to send them from the server of your website.\nThis difference is related to the \"From Email\" field.\nIf you choose to use an email delivery service, then this field will not be customizable (it will be grayed out), you cannot enter a different email address here.\nThis is because it is not possible to change the \"From Email\" address to anything different than the one you have used to make the API connection between the email delivery service and your website.\nNaturally, if instead of integrating with an email delivery service, you choose to send the notification emails from the server of your website, then you can enter whichever email address you want in the \"From Email\" field.\nSave the settings & test out the connection\nAfter you have set up everything related to the \"Email Connection\" and its integration with the email delivery service, you should click on the \"Apply\" button from the \"Connection\" pop-up:\nThen, you can customize the \"Lead Generation\" to your liking, as described in this tutorial.\nOnce you have also done that, save the changes that you have made using the \"Save Work\" button from the bottom-left part of the page:\nAfter you have also saved the page, you can preview it using the \"Preview\" button from the bottom center of the page:\nWe recommend you preview the page in an incognito window to be able to test the connection.\nWhile you are previewing the page you can also test out the connection. Go to the form created with the \"Lead Generation\" element and complete it as a user would.\nIf everything is set up correctly, a notification email will be sent through the email delivery service. As mentioned above, you should receive this notification email on the email address you have used to make the API connection between the email delivery service and your website.\nIf you want to find out how to use various Thrive Architect elements, don't forget to check out our knowledge base.\nHopefully, this article was useful for you.

{"text": "Using the transient behavior of the photoconductive-gain mechanism, a signal gain in radiation detection with a-Si:H devices may be possible. The photoconductive gain mechanism in two types of hydrogenated amorphous silicon devices, p-i-n and n-i-n configurations, was investigated in connection with applications to radiation detection. Photoconductive gain was measured in two time scales: one for short pulses of visible light (<1 μs) which simulate the transit of energetic charged particles or γ-rays, and the other for rather long pulses of light (≥1 ms) which simulate X-ray exposure in medical imaging. The photoconductive gain in our devices could be calculated by comparing the photo-induced signals from n-i-n photoconductors and forward biased p-i-n photodiodes to the maximum signals from corresponding reverse biased p-i-n photodiodes. We used two definitions of photoconductive gain: current gain and charge gain which is an integration of the current gain. We obtained typical charge gains of 3-9 for short pulses and a few hundreds for long pulses at a dark current density level of 10 mA/cm 2. Various gain results are discussed in terms of the device structure, applied bias and dark-current density.", "label": "No"}

{"text": "Solar Gen is a novel initiative that consists of portable solar powered generators that are designed to meet the energy demands of various households and business that are off grid and in rural households.\nThese generators are designed using different power ratings such as 75kVA, 375 kVA and 500 kVA to cater for the varying energy requirements by different households and business. The portable generators are incorporated with the hyper efficient solar panels and Lithium ion batteries.\nThe incorporation of the lithium ion battery technology increases the life expectancy of the portable generators to 15 years. The technology also increases the energy and power density in the solar powered generators thereby reducing its weight and improving its flexibility and mobility. Based on the pilot testing of the solar powered generators, it was revealed that the battery technology can withstand a wide range of temperature hence adaptable to varying weather conditions in most African countries.\nThe solar powered portable generator is incorporated with smart monitoring system (SMS) that can assess the run time of the battery system and the health of the entire system remotely thereby enabling the company to have a clear picture of the health and operations of the system.\nSolar Gen project also integrates a smart pay as you go system in its business model that enables the households and businesses in off-grid community to acquire the portable smart solar powered generators at a cost of $45 then make a daily payment of between $1 and $2 per day depending on the power rating and the capacity of the system.\nThe Pay as You Go model ensures flexibility of the payment and efficient uptake of solar powered portable generators into this growing market, where unreliable and inefficient electricity distribution makes diesel powered generators the most viable option even though solar powered portable generators are cheaper to operate and maintain, cost a little less for the initial investment and are environmentally friendly. Also, the solar powered generators are more efficient than the existing diesel-based generators.\nThis initiative essentially involves an innovation of an existing technology to allow it operate in the market due to several barriers that make it not fit in the dynamics of the current market. In India and China for example, there are millions of solar powered generators already in the market with government subsidy leading to more purchases yearly.\nSolar Gen therefore aim to remove the existing barriers such as inefficient battery technology and high cost of solar powered mobile generators by incorporating a highly efficient and durable lithium-based battery technology and flexible payment system that enables the households and businesses to access reliable and adequate power supply that can be used for domestic purposes and powering businesses.\nThe initiative further enhances the uptake of the technology by allowing businesses such as construction and entertainment companies to rent some of the solar powered mobile generators at a cost of $3 per day.\nThe renting option is available to businesses and entities that require efficient and reliable power for temporary business purpose.\nThe key component of the solar powered portable generator is the use of lithium ion battery technology that is incorporated with the fast-charging system.\nThe system enables the portable generator to produce electricity even with short durations of sunlight. This therefore enhances the convenience of using the system because it does not require the solar panel to be mounted on the rooftop and the portable generators can also be used anywhere without the worry of the time needed to charge the battery.\nThe portable generators can therefore be used in rented houses within the off-grid households as well as highly mobile businesses that require movements from one place to another. The solar powered generators are also designed to produce a minimum power output of 1200 Whr which therefore means that they can be used continuously by businesses and households for 15hours when fully charged.\nTo ensure that it powers businesses that operate 24/7, there is an optional extra lithium battery of 842Ah power rating that will be provided to the businesses when they request. The extra battery will allow the business owners to swap the fully charged battery for continuous operation.", "label": "No"}

{"text": "Digital twins are revolutionizing the way industries operate, and the nuclear power sector is no exception. These virtual replicas of physical assets are proving to be invaluable in enhancing cybersecurity and resilience in nuclear power plants. By providing real-time monitoring, predictive analysis, and training simulations, digital twins are bolstering the safety and security of these critical facilities.\nOne of the key advantages of digital twins in nuclear power plant cybersecurity is their ability to provide real-time monitoring. Traditional cybersecurity measures often rely on periodic assessments and audits, leaving potential vulnerabilities undetected for extended periods. However, digital twins continuously monitor the plant’s systems, collecting data on network traffic, software vulnerabilities, and potential threats. This real-time monitoring allows operators to identify and address security issues promptly, minimizing the risk of cyberattacks.\nFurthermore, digital twins enable predictive analysis, which is crucial for enhancing cybersecurity and resilience. By analyzing historical data and using advanced algorithms, digital twins can identify patterns and anomalies that may indicate a potential cyber threat. This proactive approach allows operators to take preventive measures before an attack occurs, such as patching vulnerabilities or implementing additional security measures. Predictive analysis also helps in identifying potential weaknesses in the plant’s infrastructure, allowing for timely maintenance and upgrades to ensure resilience against cyber threats.\nIn addition to monitoring and predictive analysis, digital twins also serve as powerful training tools for nuclear power plant operators. Simulations based on the digital twin can replicate various scenarios, including cyberattacks, allowing operators to practice their response strategies in a safe and controlled environment. This hands-on training enhances their ability to detect and mitigate cyber threats effectively. By regularly conducting training exercises using the digital twin, operators can stay prepared and develop the necessary skills to respond swiftly and effectively during a real cyber incident.\nThe integration of digital twins with other cybersecurity technologies further enhances their effectiveness in nuclear power plants. For example, combining digital twins with artificial intelligence (AI) can significantly improve threat detection and response capabilities. AI algorithms can analyze the vast amount of data collected by the digital twin, quickly identifying patterns that may indicate a cyberattack. This real-time analysis enables rapid response and minimizes the potential impact of an attack.\nMoreover, digital twins can also be integrated with advanced access control systems, intrusion detection systems, and security information and event management (SIEM) platforms. This integration allows for seamless information sharing and coordination between different security systems, enhancing the overall cybersecurity posture of the nuclear power plant. By consolidating data from various sources, operators can gain a comprehensive view of the plant’s security status and respond effectively to potential threats.\nIn conclusion, digital twins are playing a crucial role in enhancing cybersecurity and resilience in nuclear power plants. Their real-time monitoring capabilities, predictive analysis, and training simulations provide operators with the tools they need to detect, prevent, and respond to cyber threats effectively. By integrating digital twins with other cybersecurity technologies, such as AI and advanced access control systems, nuclear power plants can significantly strengthen their defenses against cyberattacks. As the digital twin technology continues to evolve, its potential to enhance cybersecurity and resilience in critical infrastructure sectors like nuclear power will only grow stronger.", "label": "No"}
{"text": "The company portal is the portal to another universe, Just kidding! It’s a Microsoft application that companies use to handle the environment where BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) device is an integral part of the organization.\nWe know it’s an app but what exactly is the purpose of this app? See, having BYOD devices in an organization can cause a great headache to the admin, where we want those BYOD users to access company resources in a specific manner, and Intune, with help of the company portal, allows us to solve this headache.\nOn Windows, iOS, Android, macOS, following the procedure users can enroll their devices in Intune. Such as Enrolling Ios BYOD device to Intune. Intune is MDM and MAM solution which allows us as admin to manage devices and applications installed on those devices. Once a BYOD device is enrolled via the company portal, the admin can manage those devices to some extent through the MDM solution which is Intune.\nIf you are planning to start enrolling in any given operating system, I highly recommend you to check on Prepare your environment for Intune Enrollment\nWhen it comes to managing the BYOD device there are concerns on both the user and admin side, what are the things that an organization can see or manage on a user’s personal device respective to their data. Here are the Microsoft docs that have detailed information on this query.\nSome Advantages of Using Company portal\n- With the Company portal, the admin can push device restrictions or other policies depending on the operating system which makes their organization secure using configuration profile from Intune.\n- Admins can restrict settings what users can do within the organization apps such as outlook, teams, one drive etc using app protection and app configuration profile\n- Admins can also use the company portal as a store for their organization as regardless of BYOD or co-operate enrollment, company portals allow Administrators to make the application available on the portal. With this, users can simply download the application from the portal directly rather than moving around or asking admins to push on their devices.\n- The company portal allows the admin to meet the minimum requirements that have been set in the Compliance policy so a secure connection can be established and if the requirements aren’t met, the connection from those devices can be blocked using conditional access policies.\n- You can ask the user to manually sync the device from the company portal\n- For instance, when a user leaves the company and has organization data on their personal device, the company portal allows the admin to remove all company-related information and unenroll the device directly from Intune.\nThe next and normal query with regards to Company Portal;\nWhere to download the company portal application?\nDepending on the different platforms, company portals are available on different sites.\n- For windows, the company portal is available on the Microsoft store\n- For Android, the company portal is available on the Play Store\n- For iOS, the company portal is available on App Store\n- For macOS, users need to download the package from the Microsoft website, or here is the direct link to the package\nThat pretty much summarizes what a company portal is and mainly its purpose.

{"text": "Photovoltaic water heating is a new way of using solar energy that is competitive thanks to new technologies and the falling prices of photovoltaic panels. A well-designed PV system and quality equipment will bring cost savings associated with water heating during the year. It is a maintenance-free system with easy installation that is reliable and efficient.\nPrinciple of operation\nThe current trend is clear and relentless. The benefits of photovoltaic water heating are winning out over standard solar water heating systems with conventional thermal collectors. PV water heating is a relatively simple technical matter. The energy from the PV panels is fed through two thin rubber cables to a control unit located near the boiler. The control unit directly feeds the electric coil in your boiler. Thus, you heat water from the photovoltaic system, not from the grid.\nCompared to photothermal systems, there is a significantly simpler installation of the wiring and de facto zero operating and service costs; moreover, in the event of surplus energy, the system does not stagnate, but the resulting surplus can be utilised via the DC output. Currently, a PV system is cheaper (than traditional water heating using photothermal), including installation.\nThe requirement for efficient operation of a PV system is to ensure the optimum operating point- i.e. continuous operation of the PV generator at the point of maximum output. In the case of PV power plants, the inverter takes over this function; in the case of a water heating system, this function must be ensured by means of a controller.\nThis can either control the size of the load (e.g. switching the heating coil taps in several stages) or, ideally, continuously regulate the power to the load by means of electronic control. It turns out that a system without this regulation is only able to deliver a maximum of about 77% of the energy (in practice 60% - 70%), with the highest extra losses on days when the solar intensity is low and therefore the energy is most needed.\nPhotovoltaic panels work even in reduced solar intensity, so they produce energy even in winter when photothermal has difficulties. At the same time, in summer it is possible to manage larger surpluses by sizing the system, or to use the energy for example to power the air conditioning.\nMain advantages of PV water heating:\n- connection of PV panels directly to the boiler, no inverter needed!\n- easy installation without the need for approval of the distribution company (it is an island system)\n- simple control\n- significant savings in electricity or gas costs\n- low heat loss of the system\n- easy and simple regulation\n- possibility to use an existing boiler\n- no operating fluids are needed, no circulating pump or pipe insulation\n- no overheating of the system, even in summer\n- no need for antifreeze and no risk of freezing in winter.", "label": "No"}
{"text": "Send a Message without Typing on WhatsApp, Whether you send a broadcast message to your WhatsApp contacts or a message to somebody that’s not on your contact list. Sending messages are some things that you simply do on WhatsApp. However, after you have to send an extended message, composing everything out can deter.\nCertainly, you’ll call the individual, yet you’re so want to send messages that calling somebody sounds unusual. Fortunately, there’s how you’ll be able to send messages without composing a solitary letter. Like that, those long messages are going to be more straightforward to create, and you’ll be able to try to not have to call somebody.\nHow to Send a Message without Typing on WhatsApp\nOne way you’ll send messages without composing is by utilizing the discourse to-message include on your console. as an example, within the event that you’re utilizing Gboard, you must simply tap on the mic choice, and you will see a message on the mic that claims Speak now.\nTry to talk at a typical speed and articulate the words accurately, or, quite likely the console might misconstrue and sort out some unacceptable words. you would not believe Gboard should type something that wasn’t your goal. Or on the opposite hand that your message is brimming with botches.\nFor the purpose after you must send an extended message, one extraordinary choice is to send a voice message. It’s superior to an appeal on the grounds that no one is there to hinder you. you’ll forever eradicate the voice message within the event that you just say something you mustn’t have said. Not in the slightest degree sort of a call where you’ll be able to make the opposite individual unhear what you said.\nTo send the voice message, press the mic symbol. you’ll still press the button while you record or slide your finger upwards to continue recording without keeping your finger on the mic button. within the event that you simply lock the mic button, you will see a clock to perceive how long your message is, a junk button, and a respite button.\nOn account of the interruption button, you’ll take up where you disregarded. you’ll be able to see your sound by stopping it and tapping on the play button. Like that, you’ll be able to check whether you would like to eradicate or send the message.\nYou can similarly send your WhatsApp messages using Google Assistant. Essentially express something like ¨Send a WhatsApp message to Sam.¨ Once the contact is picked, you’ll be able to add your message. you ought to send the message physically. Try to not be shocked on the off chance that the Google Assistant is somewhat insubordinate. it’s going to not get on what you’re talking about or determine the inverse.\nThe purpose once you have a protracted message to send, it tends to be baffling to type everything out. Beneficial thing is that there are choices to form yourself clearly without investing an excessive amount of energy composing it out. you’ll send a voice message or utilize the discourse to-message choice on Gboard. does one ordinarily send long messages on WhatsApp?

{"text": "The more technology has advanced over the years, the more companies that utilize it expect their technological solutions to accomplish. This helps drive further innovation in various forms of technology, but can also make common technological challenges even more difficult to overcome. One of those challenges is keeping thermal management solutions efficient and eco-friendly, which has traditionally been more than just difficult. Traditional solutions, such as air conditioners and air compressors, are not designed to operate in a highly efficient or eco-friendly manner. However, more modern thermal management solutions are made specifically to enhance the efficiency of the technologies they cool, and to do so using highly eco-friendly heat transfer methods.\nThe intricate nature of modern thermal management\nThe reason older thermal management solutions aren’t typically known for being eco-friendly is because of the cooling methods they utilize. For instance, air conditioners use HVAC methods of creating chilled air using Freon and complicated machinery. The air conditioning unit then uses different machinery to circulate the chilled air it creates throughout the interior of an electrical enclosure. Both generating chilled air and circulating it continuously typically require large amounts of energy to facilitate. However, modern cooling solutions like heat exchangers don’t require chilled air or its circulation to effectively cool enclosures. On the contrary, they make use of an eco-friendly cooling fluid and take advantage of its latent heat of vaporization to efficiently and rapidly transfer electrical waste heat.\nThe eco-friendliness of modern cooling solutions\nWhen heat exchangers first became a popular alternative to more traditional thermal management solutions, many of their most valued benefits included their ability to reduce energy consumption and costs related to electrical cooling processes. These benefits largely stem from the more innovative heat transfer techniques they utilize, which also create several other important advantages for most companies. For instance, the process of transferring heat with an eco-friendly cooling fluid doesn’t require as much energy as generating and circulating chilled air. In addition to lowering overall costs, this also makes heat exchangers much friendlier to the environment, and an important advantage in lowering companies’ environmental footprints.\nWhy cooling should be part of the initial design\nFor many companies that began utilizing heat exchangers early, the benefits they provide have proven significant. However, those advantages are even more pronounced for applications that are designed to use heat exchangers as their cooling solutions from the start. While modern heat exchangers can often effectively meet the parameters of most applications, those that are designed specifically to meet a given application’s unique thermal management needs can make electrical cooling even more efficient and eco-friendly.\nFor more information about designing thermal management solutions to be more eco-friendly, call Noren Thermal Solutions in Taylor, TX, at 866-936-6736.", "label": "No"}

{"text": "Contact force control in multibody pantograph/catenary systems\njournal contributionposted on 2017-01-30, 00:00 authored by Ahmed A Shabana, Brian Tinsley, Mohil D Patel, Carmine M Pappalardo\nIn this paper, a new continuum-based pantograph/catenary model based on the absolute nodal coordinate formulation (ANCF) is proposed and used to develop an effective method to control the contact force which arises from the pantograph/catenary interaction. In the proposed new model, only one ANCF gradient vector is used in the formulation of the pantograph/catenary contact conditions, thereby allowing for using the proposed approach for both fully parameterized and gradient deficient ANCF finite elements. The proposed contact formulation can also be considered as a more general sliding joint formulation that allows for the use of the more efficient gradient deficient ANCF finite elements in modeling very flexible cables. A three- dimensional multibody system (MBS) model of a pantograph mounted on a train is developed using a nonlinear augmented MBS formulation. In order to take into account the catenary large deformation, ANCF finite elements are used. The contact between the pantograph and the catenary system is ensured using a sliding joint constraint whereas the contact between the rail vehicle wheels and the train track is modelled using an elastic contact formulation. In addition to the use of the new MBS approach to model the pantograph/catenary interaction, the contact force between the pantograph and the catenary is computed using a simpler lumped parameter model which describes the pan-head and the plunger subsystem dynamics. In order to reduce the standard deviation of the contact force without affecting its mean value, a control actuator is used between the pan-head and the plunger. To this end, three types of control laws for the control action are designed to improve the contact quality both in the transient phase and in the steady state phase of the pantograph/catenary interaction. The first control law proposed features a feedback structure whereas the second and the third control strategies employ a feedback plus feed-forward architecture. In order to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method, the results of a set of numerical simulations with and without the controllers are presented.", "label": "No"}

{"text": "According to the Department of Energy, the annual cost of power outages is approximately $80 billion. Now add to conventional challenges those risks posed by terrorists intent on crippling our economy. Suddenly, the aim of electrical engineers to develop a technology to keep the country’s electrical grid online (and recover faster) really begins to resonate.\nThe Science and Technology Directorate (S&T) of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security is currently funding a promising solution – a superconductor cable that would link electrical substations and allow the sharing of excess capacity during emergencies. This generally is not done now, and so a flexibility like this strengthens the resiliency of the overall grid, reducing the likelihood of major power failures. This is S&T’s Resilient Electric Grid project, and the superconducting cable is called an inherently fault current limiting (IFCL) superconductor cable.\nEngineers are putting decades of existing electrical research (by industry electricity leaders from American Superconductor, Southwire, and Consolidated Edison) into practice. S&T managers and scientists recently participated in a successful test of the new superconducting technology at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee, as they eye the aging rats’ nest of power cabling under the crowded streets of New York City.\nThe benefits are simple but profound: these cables can deliver more power, prevent power failures, and take up less physical space. A single superconductor cable can replace 12 copper cable bundles, freeing up more space underground for other utility needs such as water, natural gas, or phone service. The technology is capable of carrying 10 times as much power as copper wires of the same size, while also being able to adapt automatically to power surges and disruptions from lightning strikes, heat waves, and traffic accidents, even sabotage.\n“The IFCL superconducting cable being tested could well revolutionize power distribution to the country’s critical infrastructure,” said Dr. Roger McGinnis, Director of the Homeland Security Advanced Research Project Agency at S&T. “Eventually, these technologies will help incorporate localized clean, green electricity generation into the power grid.”\nAs for the science, the cables work by transmitting electricity with near zero resistance at higher temperatures than usual. “High” is a relative term among superconductors. The cables conduct electricity at a chill -320°F instead of an icy -460°F for traditional superconductor cables.\nHolding and conducting energy better than traditional copper means these cables take up a fraction of the space. Manhattan’s electrical workers may be able to eventually clear out the subterranean congestion beneath Wall Street that amazingly, looks much the same today as it did a century ago.\nSince the cables themselves better prevent extremely high currents from cascading through the system, they will help eliminate the power surges that can permanently damage electrical equipment, similar to a breaker switch in a home, explained McGinnis. The cable switches off during a surge or failure, but automatically resets when conditions return to normal.\nFor some context, electrical substations take electricity delivered over transmission and distribution lines and lower the voltage so it can be used by homes and businesses. Even if power is lost to an individual substation, by creating multiple, redundant paths for the electric current, the cables allow quick power restoration to all the surrounding power loads. Ultimately, these cables may allow substations that had been intentionally isolated from one another in the past, for fear of cascading failures, to be interconnected in order to share power and assets.\nCutting-edge high temperature superconducting cables have been successfully tested in laboratories, and can be found in a handful of demonstration projects around the country, but they remain an emerging technology. S&T is interested in advancing the technology so that it can be used nationwide, and is pursuing an opportunity to connect two Con Edison Manhattan substations with the cable.\nThe Department hopes to enable the Department of Energy and various utility companies around the country to replace more than 2,000 circuit miles of power cables in U.S. cities with resilient, safe, and green IFCL cables.\nJohn.Verrico | Newswise Science News\nEngineers program tiny robots to move, think like insects\n15.12.2017 | Cornell University\nElectromagnetic water cloak eliminates drag and wake\n12.12.2017 | Duke University\nDNA molecules that follow specific instructions could offer more precise molecular control of synthetic chemical systems, a discovery that opens the door for engineers to create molecular machines with new and complex behaviors.\nResearchers have created chemical amplifiers and a chemical oscillator using a systematic method that has the potential to embed sophisticated circuit...\nMPQ scientists achieve long storage times for photonic quantum bits which break the lower bound for direct teleportation in a global quantum network.\nConcerning the development of quantum memories for the realization of global quantum networks, scientists of the Quantum Dynamics Division led by Professor...\nResearchers have developed a water cloaking concept based on electromagnetic forces that could eliminate an object's wake, greatly reducing its drag while...\nTiny pores at a cell's entryway act as miniature bouncers, letting in some electrically charged atoms--ions--but blocking others.

{"text": "The Ford Focus Electric, Ford’s first all-electric passenger car, will use an advanced liquid-heating system that will provide additional power and longer range in severe temperatures. This vehicle is a zero-emissions, gasoline-free version of Ford’s Focus model.\nExtreme temperatures can affect battery performance and reduce the range of electronic vehicles. But the Ford Focus Electric, which is the company’s first all-electric passenger car, will use an advanced liquid-heating system that will provide additional power and longer range in severe temperatures (see the figure). This vehicle is a zero-emissions, gasoline-free version of Ford’s Focus model.\nTo combat extreme weather, Ford’s liquid cooling and heating system will regulate the temperature of its lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery packs. The battery range will not be impacted as much with a liquid-heated system compared to an air system, according to Ford engineers. The liquid-heated battery operates under a range of ambient temperatures, providing additional power, a longer battery range of about 100 miles, and a preconditioned battery after charging. Both the Chevrolet Volt and Tesla Motors use a similar liquid-heating strategy to regulate battery temperature, but Nissan engineers are using passive air cooling to try to maintain optimum battery temperature, a tactic that critics from other automotive companies are calling “primitive.”\n“Batteries are similar to people as they both achieve maximum performance working under moderate, unchanged temperatures,” said Sherif Marakby, Ford director of Electrification Programs and Engineering. “Using a liquid-heated battery system allows Ford to keep the Focus Electric’s battery at a moderate temperature and improve performance whether you are charging or driving in a cold climate.”\nMarakby reveals that Ford engineers spent five years working with Li-ion technology and studying the results to try to develop this system. He explains that the team understood the chemistry involved and knew that lower battery performance occurs under extreme temperatures, so they decided the most logical way to ensure the best balance of performance, durability, and life was to actively manage the temperature in the battery pack.\n“A liquid-heated battery can accept a charge faster from the regenerative braking that recaptures kinetic energy and sends it back to the battery, essentially providing longer range for the customer in real-world cold weather conditions,” said Marakby. “Additionally, since acceleration in an electric vehicle comes from the power available in the battery, the customer will have more power available if the battery is warmer.”\nIn extremely cold temperatures, when the vehicle is being charged, the battery will heat through the vehicle control system, utilizing the heating/cooling liquid loop designed specifically to manage the temperature across each cell and the battery pack. The rate of heating will change based on the battery temperature and the rate at which it heats up. The same process will be used to cool the battery in extremely hot situations.\n“Even when you’re parking in cold temperatures, as long as the vehicle is plugged in, you will warm up the battery,” explained Marakby. “Basically, customers will have the capability they need right off the bat. They won’t have to wait for the car to warm up.”\nOn cold days, heated liquid arms the batteries, gradually bringing the system’s temperature to a level that allows it to efficiently accept charge energy and provide enough discharge power to get good vehicle performance. Because of this technology, electric cars will no longer just be an option for people who live in warm cities with consistent temperatures. Anyone, regardless of what climate he or she lives in, will be able to count on their electric vehicle in all weather conditions.", "label": "No"}

It also runs automatic compliance checks - such as validating that antivirus software is up to date - and deploys the software across the infrastructure.\n\"Automation is key to making virtualised environments efficient,\" says Dave Lindquist, IBM Tivoli chief architect.\n\"The ability to modulate how network bandwidth is utilised allows customers to deploy truly flexible, dynamic infrastructures in a way that supports business goals.\"\nTivoli Provisioning Manager softare includes two new virtualisation technologies. Adaptive bandwidth control gives important business operations priority but allows administrative IT tasks, like anti-virus updates, to be handled whenever network space is available.

{"text": "In an effort to make the use of IoT devices safer, last year the US Senate introduced the Internet of Things (IoT) Cybersecurity Improvement Act of 2017 This bill proposes the minimal cybersecurity operational standards for Internet-connected devices purchased by Federal agencies and for others.\nIt outlines the various clauses that contractors have to adhere to for IoT devices including timely patching of vulnerabilities, use of secure protocols and password policies, and other key best practices. However, the bill applies to contractors that sell to the US government and may not have a direct impact on the other IoT manufacturers. The point to consider is whether these devices are the same as sold to consumers?\nRush To Market - A Hinderance on Security\nGiven the proliferation of IoT devices, our Security Engineers have been performing a lot of security assessments on IoT consumer devices. Based upon numerous conversations with vendors and IoT architects, what is clear is that \"It’s all about shipping the devices on time”. This rush to market pressure leaves little to no time for to consider security.\nCompounding the issue is the assumption (or blind hope) that others in the supply chain have already made sure the product is secure. This unfortunately is as often common with enterprise devices as it is with consumer IoT devices. Things are improving but making sure consumer IoT devices are secure, is a shared responsibility between the manufacturers and consumers. Devices are almost always optimized for user experience and simplicity, and are often shipped with many security features disabled.\nConfiguring Security Options for At-Home IoT Devices\nReducing the risk of IoT devices used at home often requires thoughtful configuration of security options that I describe below:\nSecuring Device Interfaces\nMost IoT devices run a publicly accessible web and device interface that can be used for configuring the devices. Employ the following practices to make sure that the exposed interfaces do not increase your susceptibility to attacks:\n1. Disable The Web Interface\nif you do not plan to use it\n- Enable the option of forcing all the connections to and from the IoT device over a secure TLS channel. If your device supports HTTPS.\n- Set a complex password policy. Refer to tips from `Insecure Access Control` to do so.\n- Create an allowlist of IP addresses that can connect to the device. Make sure to use it to secure access to your devices further.\n- Enable Multi-factor authentication to the available interfaces.\n- Disable physical ports if an option, to disable unwanted physical controls on the device.\n- If using a mobile device to configure the IoT device, ensure that multi-factor access to the device (eg: PIN/biometrics) is in use.\n2. Secure Access Control\nMost IoT devices open a public port and can be accessed over the internet or your local intranet. If you own a device that has a publicly accessible interface.\nChange the default passwords using best practices such as:\nPasswords must contain at least 8 characters\nPasswords must not contain the username, or email address\nPasswords must contain at least 1 letter from each character type: lowercase letters, uppercase letters, numbers, and special characters\n3. Enable Additional Access Control Options if Provided\n- Enabled password history and disable password reuse. Configure the setting to remember the last 5 password hashes, to prevent reusing previous passwords.\n- For devices that have a separate administrative account, passwords should contain at least 14 characters.\n- Enable password expiry after a certain amount of time. When the password expires, force the user to create a new one.\n- Enable account lockout if the device supports it.\n- Many devices ship with default usernames and device names. Create a new user account and then disable the default username. You can change the device names using the device settings to make it difficult for the attackers to fingerprint your device.\n- If the device does not need to be in the same network as other personal devices, put the device in a separate network with other similar devices.\n- Restrict remote access to device administrative services such as SSH (22), Telnet (23) and HTTP/HTTPS (80/443) over the internet. This can be done by means of firewall rules on your home router.\n- Some devices are known to have code execution or information leakage vulnerabilities which can be exploited only with physical access to the device. To secure against this, monitor access to the device. If these devices are placed outdoors, ensure that all the relevant security patches are applied on time.\n4. Securing Consumer Personally Identifiable Information:\nConsumer IoT devices collect device and usage analytic information. This information is sent to vendors so that they can improve the user experience. Device logs shared with the vendor can contain sensitive personally identifiable information (PII). As consumers we can restrict the amount of sensitive information that is shared.\n- Most IoT devices ship with an option to disable diagnostics and usage reports from being shared with the device manufacturers. Make sure that the privacy settings are enabled.\n- For privacy reasons, you can disable location and ad tracking unless it is explicitly needed.\n- When installing apps on your iOS and Android devices, make sure to verify the permissions requested by the application. Allow access to resources that you absolutely need.\n- Avoid entering sensitive information like full names, addresses, date-of-birth, phone numbers, credit-card information\n- Disable services like Bluetooth, WiFi, NFC if not needed on the device.\n5. Securing Device Firmware:\nTime to market pressures almost guarantee that vulnerabilities will be discovered after the product is released, which is why organizations have a patch management process in place. Depending on vulnerability criticality, the stable patches are pushed to the devices as soon as possible, ideally via over the air (OTA) updates.\n- Frequently check for software updates. Install updates as soon as they arrive.\n- Enable the option, if available, to automatically download and install software and firmware updates.\n- Enable the option to run scheduled device software and firmware updates.\nBe Sure to Check out Our 4-Step Guide To Better Online Safety.", "label": "No"}

With so many IP addresses created to future-proof us in a digitally driven world, it seems it’s here to stay – so you need to understand Internet Protocol, what it means for your business and how it can evolve your strategies.\nAsking the right questions…\n- What is an IP address?\n- What is IP tracking?\n- Why does my business need IP address tracking?\n- Is IP tracking legal?\n- How do IP address trackers work?\n- How can I ensure ROI from my IP address tracker?\nThis free beginner guide answers all these questions, helping you and your team master the world of IP address tracking, and discover the website visitor tracking tools available to you. Improve business lead generation and sales pipeline activity with advanced IP address understanding and tracking- find out how here!\nWhat is an IP address?\nYour IP address is like your home address; it is assigned to your computer network interface, helping you send and receive data on the internet or between networks without having to manually move it. An IP address appears as a collection of numbers separated by periods and is assigned to you by your ISP (internet service provider).\nThere are now 340,282,366,920,938,463,463,374,607,431,768,211,456 (340 trillion trillion trillion) IP addresses because a few years ago, the world ran out of them. This caused huge issues, meaning IP addresses holding multiple devices, such as homes or offices, couldn’t properly function. At that time, 4.3 billion IP addresses had been created for use, but due to the influx of smart phones and tablets, each person needed at least two , meaning there just weren’t enough to go around.\nIP addresses can be static or dynamic. Static IP addresses are constant – whenever you access the internet, your IP remains the same. Dynamic addresses however allow your device to use a different IP address each time you go online. Both types have their pros and cons, and they best suit different devices. Static IPs best suit home and businesses, dynamic best suit smart-phones and tablets.\nWhy does my B2B organization need to track IP addresses?\nUsing an IP address tracker to monitor and measure the IP’s hitting your website offers some exciting advantages for your marketing and sales teams…\n- Advanced website analysis – IP addresses can be tracked to their exact locations, meaning your web analytics tool can gain a definitive boost, with an insight into audience location for improved marketing campaigns.\n- Improved business lead generation – IP address tracking can boost lead generation tools with advanced website visitor tracking. Lead Forensics for example, run visiting IP addresses through an enormous business database for visitor identification, proving a bounty of new leads for sales follow up.\n- Locally personalized advertising – The ability to track location with IP addresses allows marketers to run effective online adverts personalized to visitor location.

{"text": "You’ve probably got a cell phone with a camera on it. Here are 5 great tips to improve your cell phone photography!\nCell phone photography, or mobile phone photography if you prefer, is quite likely the most common form of photography there is these days. And the reason is obvious – most people carry a cell phone (and consequently a camera) everywhere with them.\n1 – Adjust phone settings\nThe key to any good photo is a good quality starting image. And with cell phone camera image sensors being on the small size, that’s even more important.\nSo, the first thing you need to do is explore your cell phone’s camera menu and access the resolution setting and the quality setting.\nResolution – set this to the highest available. Resolution is how many of the camera’s pixels you want the phone to capture. If you choose not to use all the pixels available you’re wasting what could be valuable image data.\n2 – Learn how to keep the phone still\nAll the quality and resolution settings in the world won’t help at all, unless you know how to hold your phone steady. Wobble that phone around while you stab the screen and you’ll be lucky if anything comes out in focus. And it’s not as easy as you might think.\nThere is something of a technique involved and the main thing is to brace your cell phone as best you can while you take the photo. The reason why this is important is that, with cell phone photography, the camera is less sensitive to light than a traditional camera. And that means shutter speeds are lower. And the consequence of that is that it’s far easier to blur photos than with a regular camera.\nBy: Glenn Wesley Dulay / www.glenndulay.com", "label": "No"}

{"text": "How to forward calls on verizon\nTurning On Call Forwarding\nThis will forward all inbound calls to the number you specify, it lasts until the feature has been turned off.\n- Open Settings and choose “Phone”\n- Tap “Call Forwarding” and flip to ON\n- In the text field box, enter the phone number you want to forward all incoming calls to\n- Tap back and exit out of Settings for changes to take effect\nAs soon as a number is entered, the calls will start forwarding. The example shown is forwarding calls to a number that doesn’t exist:\nYou will always know the iPhone is forwarding calls because of the small phone icon in the titlebar with an arrow pointing out of it:\nBy entering your own voicemail number, you can also forward all inbound calls to voicemail instantly, without having to turn the phone off or manually send an incoming call to voicemail every time. It’s also a handy way to pretend that your iPhone number is no longer in service, by forwarding it to a phone number that’s not active.\nFrom a callers perspective, nothing is different, but your iPhone will no longer ring and instead it will just send the calls\noff to the number you specified. You can still make phone calls as usual with forwarding on, but return calls will not come back to your phone number even though that number remains on caller id.\nTurning Off Call Forwarding\nSwitching off forwarding is even easier than turning it on:\n- Go back to Settings and choose “Phone” again\n- Tap “Call Forwarding” and flip the switch to OFF\nThe phone icon should disappear from the title bar, and the iPhone will accept inbound phone calls and ring again as usual.\nSet Up Call Forwarding on a Verizon iPhone\nMost Verizon iPhone devices will not have the “Call Forwarding” option built directly into iOS Settings, meaning the method described above must be modified slightly. Instead, Verizon users will need to do the following:\nEnable Call Forwarding with Verizon. Dial *72 followed by the phone number to forward to. For example: *72 1-408-555-5555\nDisable Call Forwarding with Verizon. Dial *73 at any time to disable call forwarding and receive calls on the phone as normal.\nThe plus side to the Verizon difference is that the trick is universal for all devices and not exclusive to iPhone, meaning you can forward any Verizon number using the *72 method.Source: osxdaily.com", "label": "No"}

{"text": "Minimising carbon emissions to the max\nPublished: 26 February, 2014\nPWE spoke to Dr Alex Mardapittas, managing director at green technology company, EMSc UK Ltd, who explains how new voltage optimisation technology could play a pivotal role in helping companies hit their increasing energy efficiency targets.\nReducing carbon emissions, whether through compulsory or voluntary schemes, now forms an important part of most organisations’ everyday operations. Many companies have looked to voltage optimisation as a proven, reliable, and cost-effective way of addressing their environmental responsibility and reducing energy consumption and emissions. But how has the technology advanced since it was first introduced over a decade ago?\nDr Alex Mardapittas, managing director at green technology company, EMSc UK explained that his company’s Powerstar HV MAX, unlike ‘traditional’ voltage optimisation technology that optimises the voltage on the low voltage (LV) side at the distribution point, actually optimises the supply of electricity on the high voltage (HV) side before it even enters a site; allowing a company to continue operating at its optimum level yet reducing its energy consumption and carbon emissions.\nPWE: How does it work?\nPN: He explained that the Powerstar HV MAX is a super low-loss HV transformer with an amorphous metal core. It utilises electronic-dynamic intelligent technology to provide a stable voltage output which will achieve high efficiency and save huge amounts of energy for a site. It has an input of 11,000V and provides an electronically regulated 380V, or user defined, output.\nOlder transformers that are still in use have high levels of losses and the majority of modern conventional transformers generally use cold rolled grain oriented steel within their core - which also results in significant losses for buildings.\nThe amorphous metal used in the HV MAX core contains ferromagnetic elements alloyed with a glass former. These materials have high magnetic susceptibility, with low coercivity and high electrical resistance. This high resistance leads to low losses when subjected to alternating magnetic fields which, when used in transformers, reduces standing losses and delivers greater efficiencies.\nThe intelligent voltage optimisation system then uses ‘electronic-dynamic technology’ to ensure that voltage is supplied to a site at a constant, stable level regardless of the input voltage instability.\nPWE: Why optimise on the HV side?\nPN: While LV side voltage optimisation is still a secure, reliable and proven method for correcting incoming voltage issues to a site, if there is an opportunity to correct the voltage before it even enters the site then it makes sense to do so; optimising the voltage at the source of the issues - the HV side.\nBy employing a HV voltage optimisation system the potential to reduce energy consumption and CO2 emissions is maximised, as are the savings on energy bills.\nOptimising on the HV side will not touch the on-site supply or affect site impedance, and will provide all the associated benefits of LV voltage optimisation, such as improved appliance efficiency and life expectancy by reducing the amount energy lost through heat and vibration.\nPWE: Who can benefit from HV voltage optimisation?\nPN: HV voltage optimisation technology can be implemented into new build developments or it can replace an older building’s existing transformer. And as most commercial building owners in the UK actually own the high voltage side transformer that supplies the building there will be plenty of eligible sites and businesses that can benefit. The system can also be adopted by utility companies.\nIt is a novel solution to buildings that have previously been faced with physical space restrictions that made the implementation of voltage optimisation systems difficult. As it is a flexible application, it can be adapted for inside or outside installation across numerous commercial buildings such as factories, storage, warehousing, and manufacturing and production sites.\nThe stabilised voltage output offered by the electronic-dynamic technology is a vital feature for sites with critical loads, secure data and important operations that require high levels of reliability and security.\nPWE: What are the expected savings in energy consumption?\nPN: The super low-loss transformer will reduce standing losses by up to 75% when compared to conventional steel core transformers. And, a low-loss transformer alone will offer average electricity consumption savings of 3-10%, but coupled with the intelligent electronic-dynamic voltage optimisation technology it will provide further average savings between12-15%; resulting in a total average saving of around 17%.\nPWE: Are there any other benefits to this technology?\nPN: Along with the obvious energy saving benefits, an HV voltage optimisation system will assist existing sites and new build projects in achieving sustainability marks and high energy efficiency ratings through voluntary and compulsory measurement and monitoring schemes such as BRE Environmental Assessment Method (BREEAM) and the CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme.\nThe most innovative voltage optimisation systems are equipped with intelligent real time monitoring interfaces and targeting systems that enable companies to monitor energy usage and savings as well as target further energy reductions.\nThe leading voltage optimisation systems today are manufactured to the highest standards using high quality components and are also over 98% recyclable - which all adds to an organisation’s green credentials.\nCompanies that invest in energy saving technology will not only improve their energy efficiency and save money in the long run, they will also improve their reputation.\nPWE: How easy is it to install an HV voltage optimisation system?\nPN: It’s relatively simple and cost-effect to install the Powerstar HV MAX system. Whether replacing an existing transformer or being included in plans for a new site, installation can be completed in three to four hours and the new transformer and voltage optimisation technology will begin reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions immediately.\nHowever, it’s important to ensure that the project is properly evaluated to determine the best possible solution for the site in question as there is no ‘one size fits all’ installation when it comes to voltage optimisation. But with a life expectancy of around 50 years it’s worth taking the time to ensure the right system is installed, in the right place, and by the right people to provide the optimum voltage output for the site for years to come.\nFor further information please visit: www.ems-uk.org", "label": "No"}

{"text": "The world is increasingly turning to renewable energy sources to meet its growing power needs. Solar energy has emerged as a popular alternative, thanks to the abundance of sunlight available across the globe. And recent research has shown that the Sahara Desert in Africa, with its vast expanse of sun-soaked land, could play a critical role in meeting the world’s energy demands.\nAccording to a theoretical calculation, we could satisfy the world’s current power demand by covering just 1.2% of the Sahara Desert with solar panels. That’s an area equivalent to less than half the size of the United States. The energy generated could be transported to other regions, including Europe, through a network of high-voltage DC transmission lines.\nThe idea of using the Sahara for solar power is not new. In fact, the idea dates back to the 1970s. However, the high cost of solar technology and the lack of political will to implement large-scale renewable energy projects kept the idea on the backburner for decades. But now, with the cost of solar technology plummeting and the world’s energy demands skyrocketing, the idea is back in the spotlight.\nThe Sahara is an ideal location for solar power generation due to the high levels of direct sunlight and minimal cloud cover. The region receives around 2,500 to 3,000 hours of sunshine per year, which is more than enough to generate significant amounts of electricity. In addition, the land in the Sahara is relatively inexpensive, making it a cost-effective option for large-scale solar projects.\nDespite the potential benefits of using the Sahara for solar power generation, there are also several challenges to be overcome. One of the biggest obstacles is the lack of infrastructure in the region. Building the necessary transmission lines and power grids would require a massive investment, and political and economic instability in some parts of the region could hinder progress.\nAnother challenge is the potential environmental impact of such a project. The Sahara is a fragile ecosystem, and large-scale solar projects could have negative effects on the local flora and fauna. It is essential to ensure that any solar project in the Sahara is carried out in an environmentally sustainable way.\nDespite the challenges, the potential benefits of using the Sahara for solar power generation are significant. In addition to meeting global energy demands, large-scale solar projects in the region could also provide jobs and economic opportunities for local communities. And by reducing reliance on fossil fuels, we can help mitigate the damaging effects of climate change.\nIn conclusion, solar power has the potential to transform the world’s energy landscape, and the Sahara Desert could play a critical role in this transformation. By harnessing the power of the sun, we could meet the world’s energy demands while also protecting the environment and creating economic opportunities for local communities. It is time for the world to embrace the potential of the Sahara and take bold steps towards a more sustainable future.", "label": "No"}

Voltage optimisation technology will: make savings on electricity bills, reduce wasted energy and lower carbon emissions.\nFitting a Voltage Optimisation Unit\nA voltage optimisation unit can be installed by a qualified electrician. It requires no maintenance and will immediately save energy across a wide range of appliances throughout the home. The voltage optimisation unit is fitted adjacent to the consumer unit and connected to power and lighting circuits, where it manages the voltage.\nVoltage Optimisation – Optimising Electrical Circuits\nAfter testing all the circuits, the electrician is able to select those which will derive the most benefit from being supplied through the voltage optimisation unit. Voltage optimisation may not yield savings on all electrical equipment within a dwelling.\nGenerally, voltage optimisation works best on inductive loads like motors and lighting, but some resistive loads and high frequency lighting are unlikely to yield any savings. Temperature controlled heating is the type of load where no energy saving will be achieved.\nVoltage Optimisation – Voltage Levels\nAs a result of European harmonisation, the declared voltage of the electricity supply in the UK is now 230 volts, with a tolerance of plus ten per cent to minus ten percent (+10% to -10%). This means that supply voltage can theoretically be at a level between 207 volts and 253 volts, depending on local conditions.\nOn the UK mainland, the average voltage supplied from the National Grid is 242 volts, compared to the nominal average European voltage of 220 volts. As a result, most electrical equipment manufactured for Europe and the UK is rated at 220 volts and may operate satisfactorily on voltages as low as 200 volts.\nSaving Electricity with Voltage Optimisation\nEnergy savings are achieved by providing voltage optimisation for the electrical equipment and lighting used throughout the dwelling.\nTrials of voltage optimisation units have demonstrated that an average electrical energy saving of 8.7 per cent can be achieved. Typical savings include: 17 per cent on fridges and freezers, 15 per cent on lighting and 10 per cent on new energy saving light bulbs.", "label": "No"}

While, a Geometric Network comprises of independent layers with no spatial relations inbuilt, including associations or containment, an organization specifies the set of domain networks that it manages when it configures a utility network. The data model also lets us define associations across domain networks and enable tracing analysis across these domains. The overall network model is shown below.\nBenefits all stakeholders in the ecosystem—owners with financial performance, customers with reliable services, and employees (and contractors) with assured and efficient safe operations with minimal field visits. A utility network primarily helps—\n- Create and edit features and objects that model every type of utility equipment\n- Discover how features and objects in the network are connected\n- Trace how the supply flows through a network\n- Provide an operational view of how all the dynamic devices of the utility network are configured\nSome of the key advantages of a utility network over a geometric network are:\nComponents of a utility network\nA utility network is a collection of domain networks plus a structure network. An organization specifies the set of domain networks that it manages when it configures a utility network. The data model also lets us define associations across domain networks and enable tracing analysis across these domains. The overall network model is shown below.\n- Domain network: Industry-specific collection of feature classes and nonspatial objects to represent the assets of industries; allows modeling of large, logically separate sections of the enterprise. For example, an electric utility network can have one or more domain networks—transmission and distribution.\n- Structure network: Represents the classes that support the devices and lines that convey a resource in a domain network. For example, an electric network has poles, pads, cabinets, and other structural features that are utility assets but do not directly carry the delivered resource.\n- Sub-networks: Part of the network that can be treated as an individual entity and can be analyzed as one. An electric distribution circuit or feeders are examples of a sub-network.\n- Network tiers: Segregate and manage the overall network architecture, which could be either hierarchal or partitioned subnetworks. They define a collection of individual sub-networks that share the same properties and adhere to the same restrictions based on certain rules.\na. An electric network follows a partitioned sub-network—a medium voltage sub-network is distinct from a low voltage subnetwork and does not share features.\nb. For example, a gas utility typically defines a pressure tier and valve isolation tiers with nested sub-networks. A single pressure sub-network can have several valve isolation subnetworks.\n- Asset group and type: This organizes assets as classes of assets of the network model as a hierarchical design engineered for maximum efficiency by limiting the number of feature classes and uses attribute domains and subtypes that are built-in for each of the utility network feature classes.\n- The connectivity model allows a utility to define exactly how each part of a utility system is connected. The features that touch each other and offset from one another are connected.\n- The containment model helps model assemblies of features such as a cluster of electrical devices. A switch cabinet, for example, contains bus bars, switches, breakers, and control devices.\n- Terminals: These are logical connections that control how features connect to one.\n- Data integrity checks: Quality checks carried out for data consistency and integrity, presented below.\nEnabling digital transformation in utilities\nA GIS with its UN data model brings in synchronization among disparate systems of an enterprise—ERP (enterprise resource planning), EAM (enterprise asset management), EMS (energy management system), SCADA (system control and data acquisition) and ADMS (advanced distribution management system) and provides end-to-end IT and OT of the asset network. The service-based architecture eases secured integration with these supporting systems. Some of the key features are listed below.\nCyient understands utility data in terms of consistency, integrity of the networks, systems, and operations, being part of the digital transformation journey of its large customer base. With the release of UN from Esri, Cyient has built internal competency in migrating legacy geometry network data to the utility network and has successfully addressed problems and implementation for customers. From addressing supply and distribution issues to compliance challenges, we help utilities meet data and quality requirements that drive advanced distribution management systems. The workflow for an end-to-end migration process is shown below.\nOur experience of working with a large customer base has helped us successfully deliver migration projects with implementations of business rules and customize business processes effectively to ensure a smooth transition and migration with no data loss while ensuring consistency and integrity of data as per the UN data model.\nAbout the Author\nNihar R Sahoo is a PhD in Geosciences and Mineral Exploration with specializations in GIS, Remote Sensing, Applied Statistics and Enterprise Architecture, and has over 23 years of industry experience.

It also provides grid-tie solar inverters from the range from 3kW to 100kW.\nHuawei manufactures a range of products designed for solar photovoltaic solutions. These include the SUN2000 string inverter series, the iManager smart management system incorporating the Smart Logger, iManager NetEco 1000S and FusionSolar.\nThe SUN2000 is a transformer-less grid-tied photovoltaic inverter that converts high voltage DC power into sine wave 3-phase grid-frequency AC.\nThe absence of a transformer leads to higher efficiency, reductions in weight and size and a lower cost due to the reduced number of components.\nThe component parts of the SUN2000 series inverter system are located in a single aluminium cabinet with an integral heat sink.\nThe cabinet is IP65 rated for outdoor use which means the electronic components are protected against dust and water ingress which reduces the likelihood of damage to components. This is in line with industry standards.\nSince 2015, Huawei is the top manufacturer of solar inverters in the world. Followed by Sungrom and SMA.\nSource: Wood Mackenzie\nHuawei Zero Export Device\nOn-gird solar power (PV) plant generates excess power when the connected load is lesser than the power generated by the solar power plant (Power generation > Power required).\nThis excess power is synchronized with grid power hence it can revere the power flow.\nIn simple words, power will flow from the PV plant owner’s home to the connected grid [when Solar power generation > Power required by connected load].\nWith ZED Advance Huawei gird tie inverters can be programmed to restrict the excess power generation. Hence provide Zero Export solution to solar plant owners.\nZED Advance is a programmable controller with set points, which can detect reverse power flow (from home to the grid) and control the power generation of the solar power plant.\nWhen ZED Advance detects reveres power [solar power generation > Load demand] it ramps down the power generation of the grid-connected PV plant.\nTo match, load demand = solar power generation\nAnd when the load increases, the ZED Advance will ramp up the solar power production accordingly.\nAs long as solar power generation is lower than the load demand, ZED Advance won't affect any change is solar power generation. But it keeps monitoring the system.\nSetpoints of ZED Advance can be set between 0% to 100%. Where 5% means that the minimum 5% of load will be served by the grid.\nIf the frequency of load variation is very high, we need to fix the setpoint above 0% the suitable setpoints are 5%, 10% and 15%.\nCurious about ZED Advance? We make a whole page on “ZED Advance” go and checkout and it will help you will be able to select the correct solution for your need.\nHuawei Export Limiter\nExport Limitation means limiting the amount of power exported to the grid.

{"text": "Lighting is a very popular use for alternative energy power sources. The convenience of electric lighting in a remote cabin can be obtained with a relatively small power system. There are a variety of options available for designing an alternative energy lighting system, but deciding on the best system for a particular need is fairly simple.\n- AC vs. DC Lighting\n- Types of DC Lighting\n- Lighting System Suggestions\n- Related Product Information\nAlmost all on-grid electrical systems use 120 volt AC lighting. AC lighting fixtures are widely available at hardware stores and even many department and grocery stores. The convenience of choosing AC lighting is that accessories are easily obtained at relatively low prices. Also, when installing a new wiring system, AC power can run on much smaller gauge wiring, lowering materials costs.\nThere are two major drawbacks to using AC lighting in an alternative energy system. First, in order to run 120 volt AC power from a storage battery bank, an inverter needs to be installed into the electrical system to convert DC battery power to AC. This can significantly increase the overall system cost. The second drawback is that AC lighting is much less energy efficient than a DC system, meaning the renewable energy generators need to be capable of producing more power to run the same number of lighting fixtures.\nLow Voltage* Lighting\nDC lighting has the advantage of being very energy efficient. A smaller solar panel or wind generator can be used to run a DC lighting system than would be required for an AC system. Also, since DC lighting can be powered directly from the battery bank, the added expense of installing an inverter is not necessary. Although DC lighting fixtures are more difficult to find, standard incandescent and halogen lighting fixtures can be easily connected to 12 volt DC power.\nThe major drawback to DC power is in the wiring. Direct current requires larger gauge wiring than AC power, which increases material costs considerably. In essence, if the wiring runs between light fixture and battery bank will need to be 35 feet or more in length, or if the building is already using an inverter for other reasons, AC lighting should be considered to save on wiring and fixture costs.\nSince AC lighting equipment is easily obtained, and more familiar to the average consumer, we will concentrate on the varieties of DC lighting available, and their various advantages and disadvantages. (One note on AC lighting: many efficient AC fluorescents will not always run reliably on inverter power, especially modified sine wave current.) For indoor lighting, incandescent, halogen and fluorescent fixtures can be used.\nIncandescent lighting is the least expensive of the three types of lighting, but is also the least efficient. However, DC incandescent bulbs are still about 30% more efficient than equivalent AC bulbs. Wattages ranging from 5 to 100 watts are readily available for DC systems. As far as lighting fixtures are concerned, DC and AC incandescent bulbs will fit in the same fixtures. Any standard size lighting fixture can be used in either type of system. For a DC system, the fixture will be wired to a DC power source, and fitted with a DC bulb. For an AC system, it will be wired to AC power, and an AC bulb will be used.\nHalogen lighting tends to be more expensive than incandescent bulbs, but are approximately 30% more efficient than a DC incandescent bulb of the same wattage. Also a lower wattage halogen bulb can be used to produce the same amount of light. Halogen bulbs produce full-spectrum light, which appears brighter than limited spectrum incandescent output and causes less eye-strain. 12VDC halogen bulbs can be used in the same lighting fixtures as DC incandescents, either directly or with adapters, and the regular fixtures simply need to be attached to a 12VDC power source, instead of a 120VAC source.\nFluorescent lighting is generally three to four times as efficient as halogen or incandescent lighting in a 12 volt system, but has a much more limited selection of fixtures available. While halogen and incandescent bulbs can use the same fixtures as regular 120VAC bulbs, fluorescent fixtures must contain 12 volt DC specific ballasts. Electrically inclined individuals could purchase a regular 120 volt fluorescent fixture and substitute 12VDC replacement ballasts for the 120VAC originals, but in general it is probably best to purchase a DC specific fixture.\nOn the other hand, while specific 12 volt bulbs must be purchased for halogen and incandescent lighting, all fluorescent bulbs are essentially the same. Once a 12 volt fluorescent fixture is purchased, any regular fluorescent bulb can be used in it. The exception is compact fluorescent bulbs designed to fit in regular lighting fixtures. With these bulbs the ballast is attached to the bulb itself, and a special DC compact fluorescent bulb would have to be purchased for a DC lighting system.\nFor a small remote cabin, a DC lighting system is an excellent first step into alternative energy. The convenience of electric lighting without the noise of a generator powering it is a significant benefit with a relatively low price tag.\nFor larger homes, if major living areas are close to a convenient battery storage area (like an attached garage), a mixed AC/DC lighting system is a relatively simple way of reducing monthly power bills or maximizing efficiency of an existing alternative energy system. DC lighting could be used in living areas, with AC lighting in the less-used and more distant bedroom areas.\nThere are many options to consider for integrating low voltage DC lighting into almost any electrical system. A consultation with an experienced DC electrical dealer can help in designing an optimal lighting system for any need.", "label": "No"}

{"text": "HEFEI — A robotic dog trots back and forth between the transmission towers at the Guquan converter station in the mountains of eastern China, conducting a thorough inspection of the grid facilities.\n\"The robotic dog is equipped with two infrared cameras capable of identifying equipment defects such as loose mechanical connections and gas leaks,\" said staff member Sun Chaopeng.\nThe four-legged robot sets out at a fixed time every day and automatically returns to recharge its battery. It is just one example of the widespread use of automation technology in ensuring power supply during the winter peak in China.\nThe grid the robot inspected is part of a 1,100-kilovolt ultrahigh voltage power line running 3,284 kilometers from Northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region to the eastern province of Anhui. The \"electric highway\" boasts the highest voltage, largest transmission capacity and longest distance of any power line in the world.\nChina's west-to-east power transmission program transmits surplus electricity from western regions rich in power-generating resources to eastern regions that need more electricity to power economic activities.\nA shortage of workers used to pose a grave challenge to the maintenance of such projects, especially in remote areas, but robots have now begun to alleviate that pressure.\nIn Xinhe, a town in Chizhou, Anhui, that is surrounded by mountains, a white fixed-wing drone flew out of its movable nest and deftly shuttled between interweaving transmission lines in a valley. Within half an hour, it had completed its 80 km inspection mission.\nThe high-definition zoom lens mounted on the device captures images of key grid components, such as insulators, and transmits them in real-time to a platform.\nWith assistance from artificial intelligence models, analysts sitting behind the displays can promptly identify potential line damage.\n\"The high mountains in Chizhou make manual inspection quite difficult and dangerous,\" grid technician Hu Jinchao said. \"Drones provide an effective solution thanks to their high speed, long cruising range and large inspection radius.\"\nFirefighters at the Guquan converter station also use a fire-detection robot. Equipped with a fire hydrant interface and multiple cameras, the remotely controlled device is capable of working in extreme conditions.\n\"This robot can operate in a temperature range of — 20 C to 60 C and can spray water or foam up to 80 meters,\" firefighter Yu Cong said.\nThe robotic firefighting system, seven times more effective than a conventional water spray and 2.5 times more effective than conventional foam, had improved the firefighting capabilities of ultrahigh voltage converter stations, Yu said.", "label": "No"}

{"text": "Internet based equipment maintenance system using Bayesian network\nDate of Issue2000\nSchool of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering\nIn this thesis a web based equipment maintenance system has been developed to help the equipment supplier in the event of equipment failure. The main part of the system is the Java program developed upon the Bayesian network theory and having problem solving ability of an expert. The Java program operates in two parts. In the first part the user carries out a few tests, specified by an expert and the results obtained are input into the graphic user interface (GUI) of the system. In the second part the GUI transfers the results as input to the Bayesian network which computes the probability of failure of each machine component. The component having highest probability of failure is checked first followed by other components in the descending order. This system can also generate results under uncertainty. In the actual production line, due to constraint, it may not be possible to carry out all the tests. As later shown in this thesis, even in such cases, the Bayesian network is able to generate results with acceptable accuracy.\nNanyang Technological University", "label": "No"}

{"text": "Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks are a type of recurrent neural network (RNN) that were introduced by Hochreiter and Schmidhuber in 1997. They were designed to address the problem of vanishing gradients in standard RNNs, which made it difficult for the network to learn long-term dependencies in the input data.\nLSTM networks are designed to remember information over long periods of time by using a series of gates to control the flow of information. Each LSTM unit contains a memory cell, which can store information over time, and three gates: an input gate, an output gate, and a forget gate. The input gate controls which information is added to the memory cell, while the forget gate controls which information is removed from the memory cell. The output gate controls which information is output from the LSTM unit.\nDuring training, the LSTM network is updated using backpropagation through time, which involves calculating the gradients of the loss function with respect to the weights of the network. The gradients are then used to update the weights of the network using an optimization algorithm such as stochastic gradient descent.\nLSTM networks have been applied to a wide range of applications, including speech recognition, natural language processing, and image captioning. They have also been used as generative models for tasks such as text generation and music composition. One advantage of LSTM networks is their ability to handle variable-length input sequences, which makes them useful for tasks such as language modeling and sequence prediction.", "label": "No"}

{"text": "Shortcuts: Solar Panel Kits | Running on Solar vs. Charging with Solar | What are Photovoltaics?\nSolar Panel Kits\nFor those interested in making electricity from the sun, but don’t know where to start: there are a number of solar kits available that includes everything you need, including solar panels of varying sizes, battery packs, charging cables, and sometimes even things like power inverters and LED lights.\nBecause the amount of power that can be generated by a solar panel is partially dependent upon the size of the solar panel, consumers will find that larger panels and larger batteries cost more money. The smallest capacity batteries, suitable for small mobile devices, can be found for around $20. Meanwhile, the highest capacity batteries can be upwards of $1500 or more. These high capacity kits, such as the Goal Zero Yeti 1400, are well-suited to keeping larger devices and refrigerators running during power outages.\nSimilarly, a small solar panel for smaller capacity batteries or mobile devices will start at around $50 – such as the Suaoki 25W solar panel charger, which is packable and provides plenty of power for charging your smartphone while out hiking.\nHigher capacity (and much larger surface area) panels well into the $300-$500 range. Although technology in the field continues to allow for smaller panels and batteries with increased efficiency, even the most efficient solar panels will be less than 50% efficient regarding the amount of power produced, and the most efficient batteries will still hold a only limited amount of charge before becoming too heavy and too costly to fit the term “portable”.\nThe amount of time required to charge a portable generator battery will vary greatly between different brands. This number is fully dependent on several variables, including the efficiency and size of the solar panels and the size of the batteries. A consumer’s best bet when purchasing a portable solar powered generator is to try to match the solar panel size with the generator battery size, using the makers’ guided instructions.\nMany companies selling portable solar powered generators will sell a variety of solar panels and generator batteries. These can range from small, pocket-sized batteries and panels that can fold up easily into a backpack, to much larger and heavier batteries that weigh over 30 lbs., with panels that can weigh over 20 lbs. The larger the capacity, the less “portable” some of these kits will be, making many of them equivalent to a fuel-powered generator regarding weight.\nHowever, portable solar powered generators are beginning to compete with fuel-based generators in some applications. A high capacity generator kit can come with photovoltaic solar panels with a 90W rating, and generator batteries with a 12000Wh rating. This is enough battery power to run a 16 cubic foot refrigerator for a whole day, perfect for the occasional and unexpected power outage. As with fuel-based portable generators, the higher the capacity of the unit, the more it will cost.\nConsumers should be aware that a solar powered generator would need to be charged well ahead of time in order to function with higher capacity devices. While some higher-end, higher-capacity solar panels can run a device on their wattage alone, most devices cannot. Even a high-capacity panel, such as a 90W panel, could take anywhere between 30-50 hours to charge a 1200Wh generator battery. As such, portable solar powered generators will provide the cheapest, quietest emergency power generation, but are best utilized in over smaller periods of time, and with much forethought.\nRunning on Solar vs. Charging with Solar\nFunctionally, solar powered generators operate as one large battery. While fuel-powered portable generators operate with some form of engine, producing power continually (as long the fuel source does not run out), solar powered generators convert sunlight into usable electricity, which is then stored in the portable generator’s batteries. A solar powered generator can be used to power anything from a cell phone to a refrigerator. What you can practically provide power for will depend on both the size of the battery and the size of the generator battery.\nThose interested in purchasing a solar powered generator should first and foremost be aware of the time required to charge the generator battery. Although some generators can still charge via photovoltaic solar panels under cloudy conditions, the charge time for a small generator battery (around 11-12Wh) with a small solar panel (around 7W) could be around 4-5 hours with good light conditions.\nSolar panels are measured in how many watts they are able to continuously produce as they absorb sunlight. A small solar panel measured in 7 watts means that the panel will produce 7 watts of power for each hour of peak sunlight. This is generally enough wattage to charge a cell phone or other small mobile device, but not enough to charge a device that requires more power.\nIn order to charge a device with a battery, the solar panels must produce more continuous energy than the device uses. This is simple enough if the device is off. However, if the device is running, the amount of continuous wattage required will go up. For comparison, a typical iPhone charger will produce 5 watts of power. This is enough to charge an iPhone while it is running. However, a typical iPad charger produces 12 watts. If a consumer is attempting to charge a device directly from a small sized, small capacity solar panel, the results will be underwhelming, to say the least.\nThe larger the solar panel capacity, the larger the solar panels will be. Likewise, the larger the portable generator batteries, the longer it will take to charge the batteries. This is also why larger portable generator batteries require larger solar panels with a higher wattage. The batteries will begin to lose their charge very slowly, even with nothing plugged into them. If the solar panel produces too little wattage, it simply will not charge the battery. Alternatively, if the solar panels produce too much wattage (something that cannot be controlled by any means other than covering up part of the panels), then the generator batteries will not be able to handle the amount of incoming electrical current.\nWhat are Photovoltaics (PV)?\nIn modern times, there are two primary ways in which solar energy is utilized to create electrical power: photovoltaics (PV) and concentrated solar power (CSP).\nPhotovoltaics are the primary source of solar electric power generation in the world, accounting for 1% of total (from all sources) worldwide power generation, which works out to be nearly 200 gigawatts of power. Since the discovery of the photovoltaic effect, many different materials have been discovered that produce electrical current directly from the sun’s rays.\nHow do Photovoltaic Cells Make Electricity?\nPlainly speaking, the sun bathes the Earth (and everything around it) in endless waves of photons. While these photons are, for the most part, harmless purveyors bringing us light and heat, they can also interact with different materials, causing the electrons in those materials to become more active and produce energy in the form of electrical current.\nUnlike concentrated solar power, which requires the heat energy of the sun to create chemical reactions (primarily steam), photovoltaics are able to create electrical power directly, no moving parts required. This is why photovoltaics account for a much larger share of solar energy production, and why photovoltaics are behind only wind and water for renewable energy sources.\nThe popularity of photovoltaics is in their light weight, portability, foldability, and increasingly lower cost. However, the largest concern and current focus for photovoltaic solar cells is in their efficiency. A solar cell’s efficiency is measured in how much sunlight can be converted into usable energy – without losing energy before conversion to direct electrical current (DC) and further conversion from direct current to usable alternating current (AC). While the most efficient solar panels created are just over 40% efficient, these higher efficiencies are not necessarily the most useful for consumers. Indeed, the higher efficiency panels are currently much more expensive, making them less desirable for consumer purposes. The balance between efficiency and cost exists somewhere between conversion rates of 12-20%.\nSolar powered generators will always run using photovoltaic solar cells with varying efficiencies. Because the technology for these types of generators is still fairly new, their power output tends to be much smaller. Likewise, a solar powered generator will take much more time to produce power than a generator running off of a combustible fuel, such as gasoline, diesel or propane. However, a solar-based system will have distinct advantages over those powered with combustible fuels.", "label": "No"}

{"text": "The only input you need is the standard consumption of an electrical network (Watts) when not charging accumulators, henceforth referred to as P.\nFor a perfectly optimal network, you need:\n23.8*P / MW solar panels (or 23800*P / GW)\n20*P / MW accumulators (or 20000*P / GW)\nThis will generate and store exactly the amount of power needed by an electrical network for every day. The accumulators will completely empty at exactly the time that the solar panels are able to run the network on their own. For the math, check below.\nEdit: Thanks to Khyron for catching some of my mistakes.

{"text": "6 most important NAC Solution considerations.\nNetwork access control (NAC) is a security solution that is used to control which devices are allowed to access a network, and to enforce security policies on those devices. NAC works by requiring devices that want to access the network to first go through a process called “authentication,” in which their identity and security posture are verified. Once a device has been authenticated, it is granted access to the network and is subject to any security policies that have been set up.\nThere are several architectural considerations to keep in mind when implementing a NAC solution. Some questions you might want to consider include:\n- How will devices be authenticated? Will you use a RADIUS server, certificate-based authentication, or some other method?\n- How will you enforce security policies on devices that are granted access to the network? Will you use a policy server, an agent on each device, or some other method?\n- How will you handle devices that do not meet your security standards? Will you quarantine them, block them, or allow them access but with limited privileges?\n- How will you handle devices that are removed from the network, such as when an employee leaves your organization? Will you automatically remove their access, or will you have a process in place to manually remove their access?\n- How will you handle devices that are added to the network, such as when a new employee joins your organization? Will you have a process in place to manually grant them access, or will you automate the process using tools like Active Directory or LDAP?\n- How will you handle devices that are already on the network when you implement NAC? Will you require all devices to go through the authentication process, or will you allow some devices to “bypass” NAC and be granted access automatically?\nThese are just a few of the many architectural considerations that you might want to think about when implementing a NAC solution. It’s important to carefully consider your specific needs and requirements in order to choose a NAC solution that will work well for your organization.", "label": "No"}

{"text": "Washington, DC - The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has issued a Bulletin to all nuclear power plant licensees requesting information about their electric power system designs and alerting them to a potential design vulnerability that could affect the operation of key safety equipment.\nOn Jan. 30, Byron Station, Unit 2, shut down automatically due to unbalanced voltage entering the onsite power distribution system from the transmission network. The plant’s electric power system’s protection scheme was not designed to sense the loss of one of three power phases and automatically trip circuits to isolate the degraded outside power source and switch to emergency backup power. Plant operators diagnosed the problem eight minutes later and manually tripped the necessary circuits.\nThe degraded offsite power source potentially could have damaged the plant’s emergency core cooling system. NRC regulations and plant technical specifications require reliable off-site and onsite power systems with sufficient capacity and capability to operate safety-related systems. Therefore, the NRC staff is seeking information to verify compliance with existing regulations and plant-specific licensing bases. The staff will use the information it receives to inform the Commission and determine if further regulatory action is needed.\nThe NRC issued Information Notice 2012-03 on March 1 to inform licensees of recent experience involving loss of one of three phases of the offsite power circuit, including the Byron event. The current Bulletin requests licensees to provide information on their electric system designs within 90 days. It applies to the 104 currently operating commercial power reactors and the four combined licenses for new reactors issued earlier this year. It does not apply to licensees who have permanently ceased operation and certified that the fuel has been removed from the reactor vessel.", "label": "No"}

{"text": "Eating disorders and anxiety in middle school: A yoga and mindfulness-based primary prevention program\nOlka, Emily Keddie\nMetadataShow full item record\nThe present study will investigate the efficacy of G irls Growing in Wellness and Balance, a 12-session school-based program for fifth grade girls, in preventing eating disorders and anxiety. Both eating disorders and anxiety are significant mental health problems that have potentially devastating effects for those individuals who experience them. Eating disorders, while less prevalent than anxiety disorders, have direct effects on physical as well as mental health, and cause disruptions across multiple areas of functioning. Primarily affecting females, eating disorders remain difficult to treat, and are notoriously chronic and prone to relapse. Anxiety, on the other hand, affects many more individuals but can also have negative effects in multiple spheres of functioning. Developing largely during childhood, the trajectory of anxiety can become increasingly complicated through adolescence and into adulthood. Further, these disorders frequently co-occur, making early prevention addressing both issues an important aim of further knowledge. This study emphasizes decreasing risk factors and bolstering protective factors in a constructivist, positive psychology framework. It was hypothesized that participation in Girls' Group would decrease symptoms related to drive for thinness and body dissatisfaction, decrease disordered eating behaviors, and various symptoms of anxiety, significantly more than a control group. Results indicate that consistent with prior research, the revised version of the program was effective in reducing drive for thinness and body dissatisfaction, but not in eating disorder symptoms. There was not a significant effect on any forms of childhood anxiety. Possible reasons for these findings as well as directions for future research on prevention of co-occurring eating disorders and anxiety are discussed.", "label": "No"}

{"text": "Joan Balcells, Ana Sofía Cardenal\nThe influence of the Internet on voting behaviour: tracking ERC’s massive vote loss in the 2010 Catalan Elections\n(A former version of this seminar was presented as a communication at the 6th ECPR General Conference as The Internet’s Double Edge: Increasing Mobilisation and Fragmentation in the Catalan Pro-Independence Movement .)\nData from the Catalan elections in 2006 and 2010 show that there was an important shift of voters from the main Catalan political parties towards (a) other minor/new parties, (b) Convergència i Unió (CiU, the right wing nationalist party) and (b) abstention, with minor shifts from major parties towards other major parties (e.g. PSC towards PP).\nEsquerra Republicana de Catalunya (ERC, the main Catalan left-wing nationalist pro-independence party) is the one that loses more voters, losing them in benefit of many other parties: other nationalist parties, other left-wing parties, ERC spin-offs, and abstention.\nWhat is the role of the Internet in this vote drain? General hypotheses:\n- Normalization hypothesis: the Internet is yet another communication media, where big parties have more resources and, thus, benefit more from the Internet.\n- Equalization hypothesis: the Internet is a different communication media and, thus, provides new opportunities to those who know how to manage the Internet to reach out.\nWeb analytics (Alexa) show that small parties did have lots of visits on their websites. Indeed, Solidaritat Catalana (one of ERC’s spin-offs) had more visits than ERC, and ERC had more than CiU. In many cases within small parties, only the website would provide full information about their policy proposals, implying that people would often visit the website to get what was behind a simple message (unlike major parties, whose messages were given fully by traditional media).\n- Exposure to political information online will reduce the likelihood of voting again for ERC.\n- Greater exposure to political information online will have no effect on probability of abstaining.\n- Greater exposure to political information online will increase the likelihood of voting for small and fringe parties, while offline exposure to political information will increase the probability of voting for large parties (equalization vs. normalization).\nDependent variable: vote 2010. Independent variables: media environment (online and offline exposure), acceptance/resistance of new political messages (political interest and party identification), controls (support for independence, age).\nIt does not seem that exposure to political information online reduced the likelihood of voting again for ERC, while greater exposure to political information online didn’t seem to have an effect on the probability of abstaining.\nOn the other hand, online exposure significantly increased the odds of voting for Solidaritat Catalana, as did identifying oneself with ERC and stating support for independence. That is, former self-identified ERC-voters with high online exposure were more likely to vote for Solidaritat Catalana. Indeed, the more the online exposure, the higher the likelihood of vote drain from ERC to Solidaritat Catalana. Thus, the Internet will be playing an equalizer role.\n- Online exposure plays no role in the probability of voting again for ERC.\n- Being exposed to online political information has no significant effect on the probability of abstaining.\n- Being exposed to offline political information does not increase the probability of voting for CiU.\n- Being exposed to online political information increases the probability of voting for Solidaritat Catalana.\nIf you need to cite this article in a formal way (i.e. for bibliographical purposes) I dare suggest:\nPeña-López, I.

{"text": "Prolific writer Sri Chinmoy once said:\n“There is a vast difference between what you can get from the mind and what you can get from the heart. The mind is limited; the heart is unlimited.”\n10 steps towards writing from the heart:\n- Meditate regularly every day, at least for 5 minutes first thing in the morning, and again before you write. Simply focus your attention on your spiritual heart in the centre of your chest. If you like you can try to listen to your own heartbeat, or imagine that you have become the heart itself. If any thoughts enter the mind, just return your attention to the heart.\n- Keep an area pure and clean in which to meditate. It’s a good idea to have a bath or shower first, and to keep the room well aired. You can bring in fragrances such as incense, something from nature that inspires you such as a fresh flower, and perhaps a picture of something meaningful to you. Keep a separate area for writing, and introduce similar sources of purity and inspiration there.\n- Writing is not just something that happens while you are typing or putting pen to paper. Writing from the heart means being constantly aware of one’s surroundings. This is what Buddhists call “mindfulness”. It will not only bring you a fuller experience of life, but also lead to deeper and more authentic writing. Get into the habit of simply observing the world – people, nature, each of your own senses, and your own feelings.\n- When you are used to observing your surroundings, you will naturally start to accept things as they are. You may see the same scenes day in and day out. The mind may tire of them, but if you observe from the heart, you will find new beauty and inspiration.\n- Observation and acceptance naturally engender love, gratitude and joy. These are invaluable keys to meaningful writing. Conveying these experiences through words will help others to see beauty and inspiration in their own lives.\n- Protect that effort you have made to see and feel things in a positive way. Unconstructive criticism, anger, and jealousy can thwart our inspiration and prevent us writing from the heart, whether they come from ourselves or from other people. Try to avoid encountering these negative forces. If you cannot avoid them, try not to pay attention to them.\n- When you are in the habit of observing your surroundings, allow words to come to you, even without the intention of writing them down. When words are not written down, they have more freedom. Practise describing to yourself the things you see.\n- Carry a notebook with you everywhere. Only when a sequence of words comes to you and thrills your heart, write it down, and let more words grow around it.\n- Do not let the mind plan a finished product. Let the writing blossom and become what it wants to be. That way it will have its own authenticity and integrity, and the result will be more valuable.\n- Trust the creative process that comes from the heart, but also use the mind to polish and revise your writing. Sometimes that which comes from the heart can benefit from a little clarification.\nArticle by Sumangali Morhall", "label": "No"}
{"text": "Every week seems to bring a new report on how harmful added sugar is to our health, but how many of us can claim to have eliminated literally tons of sugar from kids’ diets? Meet Miguel Villarreal, head of school food service for Novato Unified School District, about 30 miles north of San Francisco.\nVillarreal was hired by NUSD in 2002; learning that 35% of their students were deemed overweight based on the California Healthy Kids Survey, he knew he had to take immediate action to address this problem.\nHe decided the best approach was to get rid of processed food and beverages that were high in sugar. Sodas were still being sold in the middle and high schools in 2002, so he told the NUSD Chief Financial Officer that we would be removing them, knowing this would end a $70,000 revenue stream.\nHis plan was to increase breakfast participation to help make up for the lost soda revenue. By making breakfast part of the school day, he was able to get over 1,400 NUSD students a day to eat breakfast, where previously only 200 had done so. The extra revenue more than made up for the loss of soda money.\nNext, Villarreal phased out high sugar foods like pastries, cookies and cereals, and in 2006 he eliminated flavored milk in all elementary schools, and eventually from all NUSD schools. After hearing Dr. Robert Lustig of UCSF speak on the toxicities of refined sugars, he eliminated all juice products served with meals (a limited number of 100% juices are available a la-carte at the middle and high schools.)\nTo date, he estimates that he has eliminated a total of 400 pounds of sugar per day from the NUSD school meal program, the equivalent of 36 tons of sugar, every year since 2006.\nThere’s no doubt that Miguel Villarreal is one of the most forward-thinking school food leaders in the country. He spoke with me recently about what makes a school meal program successful, how to get high school students to eat in the cafeteria, why he does not support the School Nutrition Association’s lobbying Congress to roll back new healthy school food regulations, and his belief that the job of Director of School Food Service should be changed to Director of Wellness.\nQ. – How should a community evaluate the success of their school meal program?\nA. – In the end, a successful school food service program is one that meets the financial and wellness goals of the school district.\nSuccess is not necessarily measured by the number of students eating, nor by the healthiness of the food, if the kids are not eating it. Schools with lots of students eating may still be serving highly processed “kid” friendly meals. Is this more “successful” than a school district that is attempting to promote healthier, less processed food?\nCase in point: Hot dogs used to be one of most popular menu items served in our elementary schools, and we always had high student participation, but hot dogs are very highly processed and are not a healthful food. On the other hand, a teriyaki rice bowl with brown rice , chicken and fresh vegetables would not be as popular, but would be much healthier for the students.\nI do not subscribe to the theory that having students eat highly processed food is better than not having anything to eat. School food service programs must figure out how to overcome this way of thinking if they are going be part of the wellness solution.\nQ. – How can schools promote healthier food so that the students will eat it happily?\nA. – It takes much more effort to teach the students to eat healthier food. Taste samplings must be conducted routinely, and parents and classroom teachers must be in engaged in this process. We call our student taste samplings “Café Wellness Days” (CWD). We involve students, teachers and parents, and create excitement about healthful entrees when we hold CWD. We also take simple surveys during the CWD to evaluate the success of the food we are sampling.\nHealthful entrees that are introduced at school sites without CWD have a lower rate of student acceptance. The best example of that was the Three Bean Salad. It was very popular at the school where we sampled it and had collaboration with the teachers; kids were asking for seconds. When we rolled this out to the rest of the schools, it was a flop.\nQ. – About 90% of schools that serve lunch also serve breakfast, but nationwide only about half as many students eat breakfast as eat lunch, and often that number is much lower (in SF it is about 25%.) What is the best way to get more kids eating school breakfast?\nA. – Breakfast programs that are part of the school day have proven to be the most successful; traditional breakfast periods before the beginning of the school day usually have the lowest student participation. It takes more effort, creativity and financial support from grants and other resources to serve breakfast during the school day, but thousands of schools have managed to do this successfully.\nIn Novato, breakfast is served at morning recess at our elementary and middle schools. One of our high schools serves breakfast before school and during recess; the other HS only serves during recess.\nIn 2003, when we served breakfast before school, only about 50 of our K-5th grade students ate the meal. As soon as we switched to serving breakfast at morning recess (between 9-9:45 am), on average 900-1000 K-5 students began eating, and that number has remained constant.\nOur breakfast, which must be easy to eat in less than 10 minutes, varies from simple pre-packaged food items like cereals, muffins, bagels, and pancakes, to items we assemble, like parfaits, Sunbutter sandwiches, egg sandwiches and burritos, all served with fruit and milk.\nRunning a successful breakfast program requires support from all stakeholders, from the Superintendent, School Board, and teachers, to the custodians, office staff, and school food service staff, and including parents and community health allies.\nQ. – The number of students who eat school lunch typically drops from elementary school to middle school, and then drops again at high school. What can schools do to keep high school kids eating in the cafeteria?\nA. – The number one thing a high school can do to increase student participation is to close the campus. School administrators must then make plans to ensure a greater number of students can be served during lunch. It may mean building new facilities with equipment for cooking a variety of meals, improving the area where students eat, adding more serving carts and consequently more staff, splitting lunch periods, increasing the time given to students or a combination of any of these strategies.\nHS students must be treated like adult consumers. Engaging them in making decisions about the meals they are served, and their environment, is also beneficial. Next school year, we plan to have every Freshman through Senior tour the HS kitchen. This tour will be led by select HS students, who will be provided with a script to engage their classmates in peer to peer education.\nI’m convinced that many HS students do not eat school meals because they are unaware of the details of our food service program, including where and how their meals are prepared, and why we take added measures to provide healthful meals.\nQ. – You are a supporter of “Meatless Monday.” Tell me about that.\nA. – In 2008, I told our Superintendent that we would no longer serve red meat. I made that decision right after yet another beef recall, my 8th as a school food service director in a time span of 20 years! Officials called that one (at the Westland/ Hallmark Meat Packing Company in Chino, California) the largest beef recall in US history.\nWe did not have mass student walk outs or parents complaining because we were not serving industrialized beef to their children. Today, we also promote Meatless Monday. Meatless burritos are popular with our elementary students, while the older students love our veggie sandwich.\nThe Meatless Monday campaign has allowed us to educate our students on the health benefits of eating more plant based meals and the impact on the environment. Students have learned that it takes approximately 2000 gallons of water for every one pound of beef. That is huge deal in a drought stricken state like California.\nQ. – The School Nutrition Association has been lobbying Congress to waive some of the landmark changes to school meals required by the Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act, including requirements for more whole grains, for students to take a fruit or vegetable with their school lunch, new sodium limits, and the “Smart Snacks in Schools” rules to improve the food sold outside of the federal meal program. What do you think of the SNA position on this?\nA. – I’ve been an SNA member since the early 1990s, and I do not agree with SNA that we should be lobbying Congress to waive the landmark changes; instead, SNA should be promoting the many school food service programs that have implemented the standards successfully. We cannot afford to slow down at this point. We know exactly what is contributing to the chronic illness epidemic and we need to do everything in our power to address the problem.\nInvolving collaborative partners and educating everyone about the school food service program is essential for success.\nMany schools that have been rolling out the higher USDA standards over several years are not struggling with the new regulations. Schools that are just now starting to implement them are the ones that are struggling. In time, these schools will also experience success with their programs.\nSNA and our own California School Nutrition Association should have been doing so much more all along to help school districts that are experiencing problems meeting the new HHFKA standards, rather than requesting waivers from Congress.\nWe have allowed ourselves to be led and influenced by the interests of food manufactures for too long!\nQ. – What one piece of advice do you have for school districts about how they could better serve their students?\nA. – We need to redefine the role of the traditional Director of Food Services to that of the Director of Wellness. The current food service director positions are primarily responsible for operations; extremely important, but it is difficult to change the overall culture of wellness of a school district or community just by improving school food. Students, parents, school staff and the community at large must embrace wellness as a comprehensive approach.\nThe Director of Wellness would be responsible for overseeing and helping coordinate all food, nutrition and wellness programs in the schools and community. Helping to connect the 3 C’s – Cafeteria, Classroom and Community – through coalition building with all vested individuals and organizations, as discussed in the book Food Justice by Robert Gottlieb and Anapuma Joshi.\nThe Director of Wellness would collaborate with numerous allied organizations in their communities, county, city and around the state, and serve as committee, advisory or board member for many of those same organizations, ensuring that the school food service program served as a hub for wellness both in schools and in the community. The Director of Wellness should also sit on the school district’s Cabinet and work closely with all internal educational departments.\nIf we want to see real, sustainable improvements in our children’s health, wellness and academic achievement, then it’s time for a major shift in how we view school food service programs. Sustainable change works when inside and outside forces come together for a common good.\nDana Woldow has been a school food advocate since 2002 and shares what she has learned at PEACHSF.org.

{"text": "The build up to the Phoney War started on 3rd September 1939. Britain and France declared war on Germany, after the Germans had invaded Poland. In the summer of 1939, the British Government moved to safer areas. Extensive preparations had been made and the country was divided into three areas. London and the cities (the places at greatest risk from bombing) were the evacuation areas.\nA second category called neutral areas, which meant people were not allowed to move into, or depart from. Thirdly, there were the reception areas, where evacuees would be located.\nBritain had been preparing for heavy bombing, which many thought would come as soon as the war commenced. No longer were planes used mainly for reconnaissance or for dropping bombs by hand.\nBy the late 1930s the leading nations had developed armed air forces. The German Luftwaffe became large and equipped with some of the most up-to-date aircraft in the world.\nThus Britain prepared, trenches became dug in major cities, gas masks distributed, Anderson shelters erected, plans made for rationing and voluntary service organised. Both the AFS (Auxiliary Fire Service) and ARP (Air Raid Precautions) had become formed prior to war. The Government rightly believed would involve not only the Armed Forces, but also the civilian population.\nDeclaration of war\nWith the declaration of war, Britain prepared for the inevitable bombing of the cities. The Government estimated that some 600,000 civilians would be killed and a quarter of a million would be wounded in the fist two months.\nThe WVS (Women’s Voluntary Service) had become formed to provide support in the event of war. They were to make and distribute clothes and blankets to refugees and provide linen and bandages for hospitals. It had become expected that the war would last about three years.\nIn early September these plans became put into action. Within three days of the declaration of war, 1.5 million people had left the big cities. Whole schools became despatched with their teachers. A new word came into common use – evacuee.\nGas masks issued to everybody and ARP wardens had become made responsible for ensuring that people used them properly and carried them at all times. Strangely enough the wearing of them was not compulsory.\nWaiting during the Phoney War\nIn spite of all the preparations very little happened. People began to drift back to their homes. There had become a public reaction against the defence forces. They appeared to be imposing unnecessary regulations when there was no danger. Britain at this time lacked real leadership. A lack of military action led to this period earning the nickname of ‘The Phoney War’.\nHowever, it was not only on the Home Front that little seemed to be happening. In September 1939 the BEF (British Expeditionary Force) had despatched across the expected German attack. This did not happen and troops spent most of their time on sentry duty.\n1940 saw the coldest January and February for 45 years, and the Thames froze over a distance of eight miles. This only added to the misery of people now subject to regulations and restrictions.\nOnly at sea was there a real war with the Battle of Atlantic. The German battleship KMS Admiral Graf Spee became scuttled by the Kriegsmarine on the River Plate. In April 1940 the Allies mined Norwegian waters. This led Hitler to invade Denmark, ‘The Phoney War’ was over.", "label": "No"}
{"text": "It’s easy to see why people binge on horror films or line up for a heart-stopping, rapid-drop amusement-park ride. Turning the scenes of inhuman acts of the past into tourist opportunities is a little less easy to get behind. But it’s undeniable that prisons, castles, dungeons, and even concentration camps can fascinate people as they struggle to understand humanity’s dark side.\nJust as horror-film aficionados thrill to a gory scene, the admirers of such places seek out the spine-chilling stories that are hidden within old, weary walls. Castles are at the top of the list.\nOne of the most frightening places to visit in Europe, Chillingham Castle in England, is a home of disturbing medieval-era history. Situated in the village of Chillingham in the northern part of Northumberland, the castle has existed for almost eight centuries. Over time, it has gone through numerous sieges and hosted many kings, including Henry III in 1255 and Edward I in 1298, as well as Edward, Prince of Wales in 1872, and even members of the present royal family.\nChillingham Castle’s location on the English-Scottish border is pivotal to its history, since there were tensions and outbreaks of war between the two countries in the medieval period. The ruthless Edward I, known as “the Hammer of the Scots,” used Chillingham as a base of his operation when waging war on the Scots, who were led by “Braveheart” William Wallace for a time. The castle was also vulnerable to the Scottish forces coming south to attack. It was in the middle of the action and much of the action was not pleasant.\nToday, of course, such tensions have completely dissolved. The English castle is hosting an exhibit of “six very collectible” Scottish artist in August 2017.\nIt was a starkly different story in the 13th and 14th centuries.\nVisitors learn that the castle witnessed numerous tortures and deaths, such atrocities forming the identity of Chillingham. One the most frightening places in the castle is the torture chamber. Warriors, spies, soldiers, and various criminals were allegedly tortured. The victims were first put in the torture chamber, a place so dark that almost nothing around is visible, then they would be put on a spiked chair by force without any previous awareness of it. Once seated, the victim was held in the chair by two guards. Other torture devices that can be seen today include the hanging cage, the impalement device, an Iron Maiden, a bed of nails, thumb screws, branding irons, and the rack.\nWhen on the rack, the victims’ hands and ankles were tightly fastened so they couldn’t move. Ankles were tightened on the so-called “roller,” which was continuously rotated as the victim was interrogated. When the rotation intensified, the victim’s joints were literally torn off, causing excruciating physical pain. Some of the castle’s records reportedly reveal some 7,500 Scottish casualties, including women, children, and men who were killed in the Chillingham’s dungeons.\nOne of the visitors of the castle recently wrote that when visiting the executioner’s room, he was finally awakened from his “Wi-Fi induced coma,” as he was stunned by the instruments of death and torture. What a compliment to the castle!\nIt’s no surprise that Chillingham Castle is regarded as one of the most haunted places in Britain. If one looks closely in the dungeons, centuries-old scratches can be seen on the wall where prisoners desperately marked their days. It is believed that the tortured spirits still wander, demented by their experienced horrors.\nAccording to the ghost stories and legends collected by Richard Jones, author of the book Haunted Castles of Britain and Ireland, the most popular is the “Radiant Boy” or the “Blue Boy,” who is said to be often seen in the so-called Pink Room of the castle. At midnight, his child-like cries of fear and pain can be heard through the halls. According to the legend, as the cries fade away, a bright halo and a figure of a young boy in blue clothes appear before the eyes of the unfortunate.\nVisitors have said they witnessed a flashing blue light coming out of the walls at night. Although some ascribe this to an electrical defect, others say that there was no electrical wiring in the parts where the light was seen.\nRegardless of the legitimacy of the ghost tales, they’ve been intriguing enough to attract a number of tourists to participate in the organized nightly walking ghost tours at the castle which unravel the horrors of the past.\nIn addition, the fortified structure of Chillingham played an important part during World War II, housing many soldiers who used it as army barracks. Some of its decorative wooden elements were said to have been destroyed and burned by the army.\nFortunately, in 1982, the castle was returned to the hands of the Grey family, whose descendant, Lady Mary Tankerville, decided to restore the almost decayed building.\nBeing a real touristic hot spot of northern England, the castle especially captivates its visitors because, during tours, they’re encouraged to touch the artifacts and look through the relics of the owners.\nFor the most adventurous holiday-goers, the castle offers a unique accommodation in the medieval fortress.\nOne part of the castle, as well as its coach house, have been reconstructed and made into holiday apartments. It would be a unique experience to spend a night there–just make sure you turn a blind eye to the Blue Boy.", "label": "No"}
{"text": "Similar to prenatal vitamins for a pregnant woman, the quality of an egg can be greatly impacted by the nutrition of the layer. By changing a bird’s diet, everything from chick development to shell condition can be affected. For this post, we are going to focus on the effect minerals can have on shell strength, specifically in regards to the form they are given in.\nWhen eggs are formed, the strength of the shell is imparted by fusion and confluence of the mammillae. In a recent study, Dr. Sally Solomon from the Institute of Biodiversity, Glasgow, United Kingdom, found that strength is reduced by the inclusion of abnormal forms of mineral. Conversely, in bioplexed form, selenium, manganese, zinc, copper, and iron are absorbed more readily. These elements are critical to a number of enzymatic processes which lead to optimal shell formation and are all essential nutrients contributing to shell strength.\nShell strength is important to eggs for withstanding the sometimes turbulent shipping process or to protect developing chicks from external challenges, among other things. So while it’s unlikely ‘walking on eggshells’ will ever become irrelevant, there are great strides being made towards improving the strength of the shells for when it’s most needed.\nSee the full report on the study here.", "label": "No"}

{"text": "Mangroves provide habitat to many marine animals. These trees hold the ground, thus preventing erosion since there is a general tendency for the sea to engulf the land. The Tan Yan Kee Foundation, Inc. (TYKFI) recognizes the many other benefits of Mangroves aside from the ones mentioned. Thus, the Foundation, in partnership with the Municipality of Sta. Cruz, Ilocos Sur, launched “Las-Ud Mangrove Project” last August 14. 2014. It was attended by Hon. Teresita Valle (Mayor, Sta. Cruz, Ilocos Sur); Former DENR ASec Marlo Mendoza, Mr. Philip Sing, Ms. Elizabeth Alba, Mr. Jonathan Anuma, Ms. Valerie Tan and Ms. Janel Badlis ( Tan Yan Kee Foundation Representatives); Mr. Joseph S. Gumnad (OIC-Municipal Agriculturist) and Mr. Larry C. Calleja (AT/ MENRO); Mr. Antonio Lozano (Brgy. Captain, Las-Ud Sta. Cruz) and its Kagawad, Barangay Health Workers and member of 4P’s.\nThe purpose of this project is for coastal protection, as the dense root systems of mangrove forests trap sediments flowing down rivers and off the land. This helps stabilize the coastline and prevents erosion due to waves and storms. In areas where mangroves have been cleared, coastal damage from hurricanes and typhoons proved to be much more severe. By filtering out sediments, the forests also protect coral reefs and seagrass meadows from being smothered by the sediments.\nIn his welcome remarks, Barangay Captain Antonio Lozano mentioned the benefits of mangroves for the community, “ang mga bakawang ito ang magsisilbing kanlungan ng mga isda at iba pang mga nilalang na nabubuhay sa tubig upang sila’y mangitlog at magparami.” He added, “ang bawat punla ng bakawan na ating itatanim ay siyang magiging depensa ninyong mga naninirahan dito sa Las-Ud laban sa bagsik ng bagyo, tsunami o storm surge at baha.”\nFormer DENR ASec Marlo Mendoza shared the 4 impacts of the Mangrove Project: provisioning, regulating, support and socio-cultural function. Aside from being the breeding ground of fishes, balancing the ecosystem, and cycling the nutrients, mangroves also provide ecotourism as they offer aesthetics in the area. Afterwards the discussion, Mayor Teresita Valle gave her response to TYKFI, “With your good cause, I assure you – we Sta. Cruzinians are behind you and always ready to support you.”\nThe program ended with the planting of more than 3,700 Bakawan seedlings and propagules. The community members expressed their appreciation of the project, “Salamat sa Tan Yan Kee Foundation, salamat sa lahat ng tulong ninyo sa amin para hindi kami bahain. First time lang po na may tumulong po ng ganito sa aming barangay kaya po napakaswerte po namin. Lahat po kami dito ay siguradong makikinabang,” said Kagawad Josefina Yumang.", "label": "No"}
{"text": "BCAAs are the essential amino acids leucine, isoleucine and valine, which comprise around 35% of your body’s muscle protein. They’re “essential” because your body doesn’t make them on its own—you have to get them from food and workout supplements. Like other amino acids, they’re the building blocks of protein. But these particular aminos may also help preserve muscle glycogen stores, which fuel your muscles and minimize protein breakdown during exercise.\nLeucine plays an important role in muscle protein synthesis, while isoleucine induces glucose uptake into cells. Further research is needed to determine valine’s role in a BCAA supplement.\nBCAAs are important to ingest on a daily basis, but many protein sources, such as meat and eggs, already provide BCAAs. Supplementation is unnecessary for people with a sufficiently high protein intake (1-1.5g per kg of bodyweight a day or more).\nWhy Take BCAAs?\nThree of the nine essential amino acids are called branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs). These are leucine, isoleucine and valine. They account for approximately 35% of essential amino acids in muscle proteins.\nBCAAs can be oxidised in skeletal muscle, whereas other essential amino acids are catabolised (broken down) mainly in the liver.\nExercise greatly increases energy expenditure and promotes oxidation of BCAAs in the muscles, therefore supplementation can be helpful for those who wish to maintain or increase muscle mass.\nThe branched-chain amino acid, leucine, is particularly special as it has been shown that when taken orally, it promotes muscle protein-synthesis (creation of muscle protein).\nHOW BCAAS HELP YOU KEEP YOUR MUSCLES\nHere are the ways branched-chain amino acids can help you stay swole when you’re dieting.\nINCREASE PROTEIN SYNTHESIS\nBranched-chain amino acids (which are the essential amino acids valine, isoleucine, and leucine) stimulate muscle protein synthesis, potentially more than a normal protein on its own. Protein synthesis is the metabolic process when your body makes new muscle protein, also known as gains.\nREDUCE PROTEIN BREAKDOWN\nIncreased BCAA levels also work in your favor by reducing the rate of protein breakdown. They do this by decreasing the activity of the protein breakdown pathway, and also by decreasing the expression of several complexes involved in protein breakdown. (They decrease the amount of mRNA produced from the gene that codes for these components.)\nBCAA Supplementation Reduces Fatigue and Increase Endurance\nBCAA Supplementation Increases Lean Mass\nBCAA Supplementation May Reduce Soreness\nBCAA Supplementation May Reduce Muscle Damage\nHAVE BETTER WORKOUTS\nAmino acid supplementation could also help you get a more intense workout. Branched-chain amino acids compete with the amino acid tryptophan for entry into the brain, where tryptophan can be converted to the neurotransmitter serotonin.\nDuring exercise, serotonin levels rise and can make you feel more fatigued, meaning you won’t be able to push as hard.\nBCAA supplementation reduces the amount of tryptophan that gets through the blood-brain barrier, and therefore reduces the amount of serotonin produced. This might allow you to work harder, longer, and get more gains.\nTHE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ESSENTIAL AND NON-ESSENTIAL AMINO ACIDS\nEssential amino acids include all the amino acids that cannot be made by the body, including BCAAs. You must get them from protein foods. There are nine essential amino acids: histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, tryptophan, and valine. Your body can make non-essential amino acids by itself from vitamins and other amino acids.\nBCAA content of foods (grams of amino acids/100 g of protein)\nWhey protein isolate 26%\nMilk protein 21%\nMuscle protein 18%\nSoy protein isolate 18%\nWheat protein 15%\nBCAA powder can be taken in 5g dosages, 2-4 times daily, whenever needed. Consume pre-workout, during training (the powdered form is available as flavoured or unflavoured), post-workout, or during the day to help with delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS).

The issue of censorship within the media is very much relevant and important, especially in the wake of the recent Boston Marathon tragedy. It appears as though some media outlets are saying too much, and others not enough.\nSo to what degree are media outlets supposed to distribute pictures and information? There seems to be no simple answer to this question. On one hand, people believe that graphic images need to be shown to portray the severity of a particular situation. On the other hand, there are people that do not wish to see such graphics and believe that a situation can be understood without the aid of graphics. This puts media outlets in a difficult situation as they try to cater to both audiences.\nNews outlets have control over the content distributed to the public where as the Internet cannot regulate information and graphics in such a fashion.

{"text": "- This article is about the light displays that appear in both the North and South Poles. For the episode, see \"The Southern Lights\".\n|\"Look to the sky. Where I'm from, the spirits are at peace and they light up the dark.\"|\n|— Unalaq to Tonraq.|\nThe spirit lights refer to the light displays that occur in the sky overhead both the North and South Poles. They are recognized to be peaceful spirits dancing in the sky that light up the night when the entities are in balance. They serve as a reminder to the people of the Water Tribes of their connection to the spirits. If the physical world becomes out of balance with the Spirit World, as was the case in the Southern Water Tribe following the Hundred Year War, the connection with spirits is lost and the lights will cease to appear until balance is restored.\nThe northern lights are visible in the North Pole, where spiritual energy is considerably strong, due to the Northern Water Tribe's adherence to spiritual observances. Shortly after 133 AG, Yakone began to train Noatak and Tarrlok in the art of waterbending, often running exercises at night when the northern lights were visible.\nDuring the Hundred Year War, the Southern Water Tribe was devastated by constant raids instituted by the Fire Nation, leading to the near eradication of its distinct bending culture and the loss of the tribe's spiritual traditions. The tribe was consequently thrown out of balance and the southern lights disappeared.\nAfter the war ended, the Northern Water Tribe helped rebuild their sister tribe physically but failed to arrest the spiritual imbalance in the South Pole, causing the Southern Water Tribe to continue down a path of spiritual decay, exhibited in the progressive distortion of the hallowed Glacier Spirits Festival. In the past, tribal elders communed with the spirits during the festival and watched the brilliant displays of light as the spirits danced in the sky. The people of the South have since turned the festival into a secular carnival, unrelated to its spiritual origins.\nNeglect of spiritual customs in the South caused spirits to cease dancing in the skies, forcing them instead to turn dark, eventually forming the Everstorm in which they rampaged. By 171 AG, the imbalance had exacerbated to the point that dark spirits roamed the South Sea and attacked several ships, abducting sailors and destroying vessels in the process. These attacks eventually prompted Chief Unalaq to intervene and journey to the Southern Water Tribe, where he informed Avatar Korra of a dormant spirit portal located at the center of the South Pole. Together with Desna and Eska, Tonraq, Mako, and Bolin, they traversed the frozen tundra in hopes of opening the portal prior to end of the winter solstice, as that was the only time the Southern spirit portal could be opened by the Avatar.\nAfter the group arrived at the center of the South Pole, Korra ventured inside the frozen forest that circumscribed the portal, where she managed to overcome residing dark spirits and open the portal with a single touch imbued with cosmic energy provided by the Avatar State. When the portal opened, balance was instantly restored; the Everstorm ceased to rage, and the spirits flew out in a straight beam of light directly above the South Pole until they dispersed in the sky as waving streaks of green, glowing lights.\nAfter Korra reconvened with the group outside the frozen forest, Unalaq told her that restoring the southern lights was the first step in bringing balance back to the South.\nMany weeks later, the spirit lights spread throughout the world during Harmonic Convergence. Once Unalaq fused with the dark spirit Vaatu, the Dark Avatar reached toward the southern lights and used them to travel to Republic City instantaneously.\nAfter balance was restored following Vaatu's defeat, Korra opted to keep the spirit portals open, and the southern lights were present behind the Southern Water Tribe Royal Palace as she proclaimed the South's autonomy from the North, and a new era for humans and spirits.\n- The northern and southern lights are the World of Avatar's equivalent of the aurora borealis and aurora australis, respectively.\n- The Cree and the Inuit, two of the largest indigenous groups in North America, refer to the auroras as the \"Dance of the Spirits\", and believe that they serve as a reminder of the connection between living people and their deceased ancestors.\n- In 99 AG, Iroh mistook the beam of light that resulted from Avatar Aang's release from the iceberg as the southern lights.\n- The northern and southern lights can be used by spirits to travel instantly from one place to another in the physical world during Harmonic Convergence.", "label": "No"}
{"text": "As North America experienced one of the coldest winters in recent history, University of Maryland researchers were surveying the skies above the tropical western Pacific, collecting data that will yield clues about the effects of human activity and ocean biology on the composition of the atmosphere. The research team included two graduate students and Professor Ross Salawitch, who holds appointments in atmospheric and oceanic science, chemistry and biochemistry, and the Earth System Science Interdisciplinary Center.\nThe researchers traveled to Guam, an island in the Pacific Ocean 3,300 miles west of Hawaii, where the world’s warmest sea surface temperatures lead to the most active cloud systems on Earth. During the winter months in the Northern Hemisphere, the combination of heat and moisture in the region causes warm air to rise from the ocean’s surface, creating a chimney effect and feeding into huge clusters of thunderstorms. The storms lift gases and particles through the low levels of the atmosphere and into the stratosphere, where they can spread over the entire planet, linger for long periods of time, and influence atmospheric climate and composition worldwide.\nAs co-principal investigator of the CONTRAST (CONvective TRansport of Active Species in the Tropics) field project, Salawitch helped lead a series of intensive data-gathering flights by three aircraft, the most comprehensive data collection effort of its kind in the region.\n“One of our goals was to define the chemicals in the air, with special emphasis on chemicals introduced or altered by humans,” explains Salawitch. “There have been measure-ments from long-ago aircraft campaigns, but nothing nearly as comprehensive. This project will give us a strong fingerprint of human activity on the region.”\nSalawitch served as mission scientist aboard the HIAPER (High-performance Instrumented Airborne Platform for Environmental Research) aircraft, a Gulfstream V jet sponsored by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) and modified for advanced research. HIAPER flew at altitudes between 500 and 48,000 feet, along with NASA’s Global Hawk, a robotic air vehicle that studied upper-atmospheric composition primarily between 45,000 and 60,000 feet. The British Facility for Airborne Atmospheric Measurements’ (FAAM) BAe-146 research aircraft conducted extensive sampling near the ocean’s surface. Taken together, the data collected by the three aircraft will give research collaborators a detailed view of air masses spanning tens of thousands of feet from the ocean surface to the stratosphere.\nThe CONTRAST mission provided a novel way of examining the transformation of the halogen group of elements—bromine, chlorine and iodine—from their origins in the ocean to the stratosphere. The researchers focused on halogen family elements because they remove atmospheric ozone. Classic chemical measurement techniques, including\ngas chromatography, mass spectrometry and absorption spectroscopy, required small, autonomous hardware packages designed specifically for the HIAPER platform. Two instruments onboard HIAPER measured organic halogens (chemical compounds with the carbon-bromine bond intact) and two other instruments measured inorganic halogens (chemicals produced once the carbon-bromine bond has been broken). “We can map the transformation of these chemicals to quantify how ocean biology affects the stratosphere,” says Salawitch.\nJulie Nicely, a graduate student in chemistry, served as mission coordinator on one of the flights and played a critical role in charting the plane’s course to optimize the collection of samples. “As we were flying and seeing firsthand the change in air quality, we were able to perform real-time analysis to help us better understand the chemical features of the atmosphere,” says Nicely, who also assisted with chemical forecasts and analysis for the entire campaign.\nMaking and Breaking the Models\nThough data analyses are far from complete, Salawitch reports a major surprise. “There was a significant amount of pollution in the atmosphere over Guam. We know this pollution is not coming from Guam and that a pervasive amount is coming from upwind areas. We will be building trajectory models to study the type of pollution and determine where these air masses originated,” he explains.\nDan Anderson, a graduate student in atmospheric and oceanic science and CONTRAST team member, also reports an unexpected finding. Anderson, who measured the abundance of formaldehyde in the air using an instrument developed at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, notes, “We discovered that the middle of the remote, marine atmosphere holds higher concentrations of formaldehyde than we anticipated, which raises a lot of new questions.”\nProject findings will result in a new data set for evaluation of climate-chemistry models for a previously untested region of the world. “Our data will feed into the work of the air quality community, the climate community and a whole body of chemists eager to see what we have found,” says Salawitch.\nWriter: Nancy Grund", "label": "No"}
{"text": "Crowd-funded ArduSat Satellite Offers Space-based Experiment Time to Science Students\nZARAGOZA, Spain & SAN FRANCISCO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–With the successful space launch of ArduSat aboard a H-IIB rocket, the first open satellite platform that allows private citizens to design and run their own applications in space is now on its way to the International Space Station (ISS).\n“Our Radiation Sensors were developed originally to measure radioactivity levels on Earth. We adapted them to meet the satellite’s restrictions in terms of weight, size and power control, in a nice collaboration between Libelium and ArduSat engineering teams”\nIncluded in the standard payload of the two 10cm x 10cm orbiters launched this week are Radiation Sensor Boards designed by Libelium that will monitor radiation levels generated by space phenomena such as sun storms and background activity. This sensing technology acts as a Geiger counter measuring gamma particles produced anywhere in space.\nOnce the ArduSat is released into orbit at an altitude of more than 300km, students from a dozen schools across the United States and select schools in Brazil, Guatemala, India, Indonesia and Israel will access and control the satellites for their science experiments, beginning this fall. One of six pre-built experiments uses the Libelium Geiger counter to detect high-energy radiation levels from space.\n“Our Radiation Sensors were developed originally to measure radioactivity levels on Earth.

{"text": "A non-parametric test used to evaluate the equality of the median of a single population to a standard value or the equality of the Medians of two related Populations. It is a non-parametric alternative to the one-sample or paired-samples t-test when the assumption of normality is in doubt. However, it does make the assumption that the underlying distribution (of the individual observations in the one-sample case, or the differences of paired values in the paired-samples case) is symmetric.\nThe table shows a dataset of 8 observations. Assuming the underlying distribution is symmetric, we will test the hypothesis that the median is equal to 12 against the alternative that it is smaller using the Wilcoxon Signed ranks test.\nThe single zero difference corresponding to the observed value of 12 is excluded from the sample, resulting in a sample size of 7. These 7 differences are ranked based on their absolute values in ascending order of magnitude. Thus, the smallest observation, 2, gets the rank 1. The next smallest observation, 3, gets the rank 2. The two observations with magnitude 4 get the average rank of 3 and 4, which is 3.5. The remaining observations are ranked accordingly.\nThe only positive difference in the set is 3, so the test statistic is the rank corresponding to this difference, 2. The table of probabilities for the test statistic gives a p-value of 0.023, which is significant at the 5% level. Thus, reject the null hypothesis and conclude that the median is actually smaller than 12.\nTake the differences of the observed values from the standard/test value under study, excluding the zero differences. Rank the absolute differences in ascending order of magnitude. Assign averaged ranks to tied differences. Sum the ranks corresponding to the positive differences – this is the test statistic, T+.\nFor small samples the test p-value is obtained using the tabled values of the Wilcoxon Signed Rank statistic for different sample sizes. For large samples the test statistic is converted into a z-score and the standard normal distribution used to decide the test.", "label": "No"}
{"text": "We recently saw an alert message from a sheriff announcing that he wasn’t running for re-election. That’s an unusual use of a community mass notification system, but it isn’t unprecedented. In October, a county supervisor in upstate NY used the system there to communicate her “good works”. And we’ve seen other interesting uses for emergency alert systems over the years.\nThat got us thinking about what kinds of public messages communities send with these kinds of systems. So we reviewed every message we’ve seen over the past two years, focusing on the messages sent to the general public.\nOur database includes the tens of thousands of messages we sent for our customers, as well as thousands of messages sent through all our major competitors. Our sample includes major cities (NY, LA, etc.), rural areas, and everything in between and covers all regions of the US.\nWe’ve tried to summarize all of these messages below. Although this summary focuses on warnings, there are often follow up messages that include protective resources (e.g. shelters, evacuation routes) “all-clear” notices, information on recovery or repairs, and related information. For the sake of brevity, we’ve left out most of that detail.\nWhile most of the messages we saw follow best practices, it’s worth remembering that every warning message should follow this pattern:\n- What the hazard is.\n- The timing and location of the danger (when and where).\n- What action the reader should take.\nWe think these guidelines are useful even when the action is no action. Many messages, for example, were meant to alert residents of unusual situations – e.g. smoke, flyovers, a bomb test – to avoid calls to the 911 center. Most of these messages did not include a statement like “there is no need to call 911,” but our reading of the research suggests that clarity is always better than ambiguity. So we think you should consider adding that content to your message templates.\nAnd it’s very important to include specific location information. In too many cases, we saw messages that had little or no location data. Since most messages are text and do not include a map component, it’s difficult for a reader to understand a hazard if they don’t know where it is. That’s especially true for social media messages which can be read by people who may be outside a polygon on a map.\nWe also think you should review what your message will look like to the recipient. In the examples below, you’ll see messages that are truncated so that key details are only available by clicking on the link. That’s a bad practice since many residents won’t click on a link without a compelling reason.\nIt’s not our job to tell you how to use your alert system. But we can at least show you how others are using their systems so you can consider whether those uses are valuable for your residents.\nOne interesting use of alert systems to consider is when you’re changing alert providers. Several of our newer customers used their old alert system to tell residents they were switching to Hyper-Reach and to send them the link to our signup page and the number we use for telephone signups. We think this is a great way to help make sure the transition to Hyper-Reach goes smoothly and reaches the maximum number of people in your community.\nAlert Messages Types by Category:\nWeather – Both Extreme and Potentially Threatening\n- How to prepare for weather, prevent damage (e.g. flooding)\n- Impact of weather: office closures, etc.\n- Resources to deal with weather: e.g. shelter availability, cooling or warming centers\n- Damage reporting requests: e.g. asking for citizen reports of weather damage\n- Added services in response to events, e.g. brush pickup\nOther Environmental Hazards\n- Air quality advisories\n- Mud/rock slides\n- Explosion hazard\n- Chemical spills\n- Boil Water, water main breaks, etc.\n- Emergency water availability\n- Gas service issues, including leaks, hazardous situations\n- Electric power issues, e.g. interruptions, resumption of power\n- Energy conservation requests\n- Water conservation requests\nDisease and Health-Related Issues\n- Vaccination promotion, advice, reminders\n- Pandemic advice for safety, masking, etc.\n- Pandemic-related reopening notices\n- Other disease-related notices\n- Rabies vaccination clinic availability\nAwareness/Avoiding Panic/Pre-empting 911 Calls\n- Smoke, odor awareness\n- Fireworks awareness\n- Bomb, explosion awareness\n- Flyover of military, other aircraft\n- Testing of siren awareness\n- IPAWS test message awareness\n- Travel advisory: closed roads, traffic signal problems, other issues\n- Event awareness: e.g. marathons, parades, protests, ect.\n- Parking restrictions\n- Traffic advisory: e.g. speed limit changes, new traffic patterns\nCrime/Law Enforcement/Soliciting Assistance\n- Police activity awareness\n- Criminal at large: shelter in place, BOLO\n- Criminal activity, e.g. homicide in area\n- School lock down\n- Active shooter\n- Solicitation for witnesses, crime tips\n- Missing persons, Amber, Silver alerts\nGovernment Service Advisories\n- Government service changes: e.g. garbage, recycling pickup, Christmas tree pickup\n- Office and school closures, opening delays, change in hours\n- 911 usage advice, e.g. things not to call about\n- 911 outage, service issues\n- Emergency sirens not working\n- Police phone out of order, service resumed\n- Park closures due to construction\n- Spay and neuter services\nCitizen Participation Invitations and Opportunities\n- Asking for blood donations\n- Soliciting participation in community events, e.g. light contest, kite festival\n- Government agency meetings, e.g. public hearings, citizen workshops, candidate forums\n- Gun buyback program\n- Memorial events, e.g. 9/11, officer funeral service\n- Voting locations and hours\n- Burn ban notice, red flag notice\n- Power line down, building collapse, sink hole\n- Rules reminders, e.g. “don’t mix grass clippings with brush to be picked up”\n- Home safety reminders: e.g. dispose of old medicines\n- Swimming advisory: e.g. rip currents\n- Life safety reminders: “children should wear helmets on bikes”, “lock your car”\n- Switching alert services\n- Important message\n- New laws and their impact\n- Tax and utility billing notices\n- Political announcements\nSpecific Message Examples (Communities Names Selectively Redacted)\n- Signup for HyperReach by Calling or Texting “Alert” to (740) 669-7798 or the web address: http://hyper-reach.com/ohvintonsignup.html\n- Starting or reopening your small business?

{"text": "We can say, \"Those pepperoncinis are hot\" or \"That woman is hot\" or \"It's was hot in Phoenix today\" or \"Donald Trump's candidacy is a hot topic\" - these all contain the word \"hot\" - which although are all spelled the same and pronounced the same - have wholly different meanings. Any young teen could discern these various homonyms because of the context their respective sentences give them. Body language signals also very often have multiple meanings - depending on the other nonverbal signs with which they are clustered. Lip biting is but one example of this nonverbal phenomenon.\nIn this image we see Ana Ivanovic, currently 7th in WTA women's singles rankings. Today - the first day of the U.S. Open Tennis Championship, this Serbian was upset by Slovakia's Dominika Cibulkova (6-3, 3-6, 6-3). Note in this image Ms. Ivanovic is biting her bottom lip. In this context it's indicative of some anxiety (although not excessive) as well as very concentrated, focused thought. Intriguingly, within the realm of tennis, lip biting is almost never seen during a serve - essentially only during a return.\nAs with the \"hot\" homonym exampled above (and in a non-tennis setting) when Lip Biting is accompanied by a different set of facial and body expressions - it can be indicative of varied meanings such as - anger, anxiety, focused thought, sadness, embarrassment, mischievousness, frustration, vulnerability and even sexual arousal. Yet without knowing and recognizing all the words in a nonverbal sentence, most people often have no idea how to color the emotional nuance of the moment.\nHere Heather Watson (Great Britain) is returning to Lauren Davis (United States). Watson lost to the match, 7-6, 7-6.\nCanadian Milos Raonic - in another lip-biting return defeated Tim Smyczek (U.S.), 6-4, 7-6 (8), 6-1.\nNonverbal Communication Analysis No. 3293: Why is Donald Trump a Better Liar than Most Politicians?\nNonverbal Communication Analysis No. 2448: Sabine Lisicki Post Match Interview After Defeating Serena Williams Top Teeth Biting Lower Lip & Sincere Smiles\nNonverbal Communication Analysis No. 3259: Barack Obama responds to Mike Huckabee's Holocaust Reference\nNonverbal Communication Analysis No. 3005: Barack Obama, \"I would enjoy having some Kentucky Bourbon with Mitch McConnell\"\nNonverbal Communication Analysis No. 2379: Bill Clinton's Speech at the George W.

Liberalism means information is knowledge and knowledge is power. Libertarianism is free from any authority or any control or censorship. The libertarianism is an idea of individualism and limited government which is not harmful to another.\nLibertarian theory sees people are more enough to find and judge good ideas from bad. The theory says people are rational and their rational thoughts lead them to find out what are good and bad. The press should not restrict anything even a negative content may give knowledge and can make better decision whilst worst situation. The libertarian thoughts are exactly against or opposite to the authoritarian theory which means the authoritarian theory says “all forms of communication works under the control of government or elite like king”.\nStrength and Weakness:\n- Freedom of press will give more freedom to media to reveal the real thing happening in the society without any censorship or any authority blockades.\n- Is reliable with U.S media traditions.\n- It gives more values for individuals to express their thoughts in media.\n- Theory excessively positive about media’s willing to meet responsibilities which may leads people into negative aspects.\n- Is too positive about individual ethics and rationality.\n- Ignores need for reasonable control of media.\n- Ignores dilemmas posed by conflicting freedoms.\nWiki leaks website published all sorts of confidential or restricted files in public space and especially classified documents.

{"text": "Rachyl Pines and Howard Giles\nDance is a visual, socially organized form of communication. There are countless forms and styles of dance, each with its own criteria of excellence, with varying degrees of technical training ranging from classical ballet to krumping. This could, at times, lend itself to intergroup antagonism with the various genres of dance as subgroups. However, all types of dancers have the potential to identify with one another as sharing in the superordinate identity, dancer. Dance may be consumed as an artistic performance, or one can engage it as a participant—dancing as a professional, as a form of recreation, or as a form of self-expression. The processes of producing, consuming, and participating in dance as a spectator, choreographer, or performer are all intergroup phenomena. For example, a spectator of a performance learns something about the culture that produced this dance. With this there is potential for intergroup contact and vicarious observation with dancers and the various audiences. This can be powerful for changing attitudes and conceptions of different dance groups. The attitude change may occur as people are exposed to a culture presented as art instead of exposure to information via factual accounts such as textbooks or museums. Also, a spectator or consumer’s perception of the performance is informed by group membership. For example, some religious groups discourage dance because they believe it is a sin or evil. These groups, if exposed to a dance performance, will experience it much differently than members of other groups that encourage dancing and actively seek its viewing.\nIn sum, dance is a vehicle through which group membership and social identity can be expressed. As dancers perform they can, for instance, express gender and sexuality. As choreographers direct movements, they express their conceptions of gender through the dancers. And as spectators view the performance, they are shown something about gender expression. When it is used as a form of protest, as a cultural expression, or as a form of social innovation, dance can express social group membership.\nLike members of many social identity groups, gay men within certain racial or ethnic groups (e.g., gay white men in the United States) generally share a sense of group entitativity that is characterized by the experiences of unity, coherence, and organization. Notwithstanding its members’ overall sense of entitativity, gay white male culture in the United States, specifically, has formed an array of diverse subgroups along dimensions such as physical attractiveness, musculature, masculinity, and age. These subgroup categorizations often are highly salient to individuals, and they frequently serve these gay men’s drive to self-enhance through intragroup comparisons. Given that many of these subgroups are well established, with members who share not only unique physical characteristics but also particular communication patterns and/or traditions that contribute to group stereotype formation, it is possible to consider communication and comparisons across these subgroups to be intergroup in nature as well.\nSocial psychological theory provides useful frameworks for understanding the intra-/intergroup dynamics among such subgroups of gay men. One framework is self-categorization theory. According to this theory, individuals engage in self-stereotyping. That is, they react to themselves and others not as unique individuals, but as members of a group who share common characteristics and have similar needs, goals, and norms. It is through such categorization that group members differentiate themselves from members of other groups or subgroups. Another framework, social identity theory, also sheds light on intergroup dynamics within the gay white culture in the United States. In line with this theory, gay men may cope with discrimination from the heterosexual mainstream through the adoption of one or more coping strategies. These strategies include leaving their group or changing negative values assigned to the in-group into more positive ones. Additionally, they may avoid the use of the higher-status heterosexual group as a comparative frame of reference, instead making downward comparisons with members of other gay male groups that they consider to be inferior in order to self-enhance. Of course, though not to achieve positive distinctiveness, members of lower-status groups also orient themselves in gay culture by making upward comparisons with members of subgroups they consider to be superior to their own. Again, these subgroup distinctions may include those based on physical attractiveness, musculature, masculinity, and age.\nSexual orientation is a private matter that individuals can decide to disclose or conceal. Nevertheless, when interacting with others, people look for cues of sexual orientation. Hence, the person’s face, voice, or non-verbal behavior is taken as a cue revealing sexual orientation. As research on “gaydar” has shown, this detecting ability can sometimes be accurate or stereotype-based. Sometimes gay, lesbian, and bisexual people themselves intentionally communicate their sexual identity explicitly or through more subtle cues. Intentional or not, several cues are taken as communicating sexual orientation with the consequences of shaping interpersonal interactions.\nIdentifying someone as gay or lesbian has several implications. On the one hand, it leads straight men and women to non-verbally behave differently than when interacting with other straight individuals (e.g., more physical distance, more self-touching). On the other hand, it also affects verbal communication (e.g., topics of conversation, questions, and statements). The harshest consequence is hate speech and homophobic language. Research has shown that being labeled as “faggot” or “dyke” not only negatively affects those who are the target of such verbal derogation but also negatively impacts on straight bystanders. Indeed, gay and lesbian targets of homophobic language report a lower level of well-being and self-acceptance, while being exposed to such language increases prejudice toward gay men and lesbians among straight people. In the case of straight men, the use of homophobic language is often associated with identity self-affirmation and self-presentation. Interestingly, a recent trend among gay people has been noticed: they use homophobic labels among them as a form of “reclaimed language,” meaning that these derogatory terms are used with a different intent and reframed in a more positive way.\nMoreover, communicating sexual orientation can increase self-acceptance, social support, and positive social comparison among gay men and lesbians and can also increase positive attitudes toward gay people, especially when it happens with friends and family members.\nMichela Menegatti and Monica Rubini\nLanguage is one of the most powerful means through which sexism and gender discrimination are perpetrated and reproduced. The content of gender stereotypes, according to which women should display communal/warmth traits and men should display agentic/competence traits, is reflected in the lexical choices of everyday communication. As a consequence, language subtly reproduces the societal asymmetries of status and power in favor of men, which are attached to the corresponding social roles. Moreover, the hidden yet consensual norm according to which the prototypical human being is male is embedded in the structure of many languages. Grammatical and syntactical rules are built in a way that feminine terms usually derive from the corresponding masculine form. Similarly, masculine nouns and pronouns are often used with a generic function to refer to both men and women. However, such linguistic forms have the negative effects of making women disappear in mental representations. Although the use of gender-fair linguistic expressions can effectively prevent these negative consequences and promote gender equality, there are even more implicit forms of gender bias in language that are difficult to suppress. By choosing terms at different levels of abstraction, people can affect the attributions of the receiver in a way that is consistent with their stereotypical beliefs. Linguistic abstraction, thus, is a very subtle resource used to represent women in a less favorable way and thus to enact gender discrimination without meaning to discriminate or even be aware that this linguistic behavior has discriminatory results. In order to reduce gender bias, it is necessary to change people’s linguistic habits by making them aware of the beneficial effects of gender-fair expressions.\nV. Skye Wingate and Nicholas A. Palomares\nGender is conceptualized as a social construct rather than biologically determined. Gender shapes communication in intergroup contexts. Gender influences communication in assorted domains, such as nonverbal behavior and emotion, language, friendship, self-disclosure, social support and advice, group decision making, leadership emergence, gaming, and aggression. Considering gender-based communication in each of these domains provides insight into the manner in which gender-based communication is conceptualized and understood.

{"text": "~~Shang Dynasty (1600\nBC - 1046 BC) is the first historic Chinese dynasty and ruled in\nthe northeastern region of China proper. The Shang dynasty followed\nthe legendary Xia Dynasty and preceded the Zhou Dynasty (1122 BC\n- 256 BC). Information about the Shang Dynasty comes from bronze\nartifacts and oracle bones, were turtle shells or cattle scapula\non which were written the first recorded Chinese characters, found\nin the Huang He valley. These bones typically had three sections:\na question for the oracle (charge), the oracle's answer (prognostication),\nand whether the oracle later proved to be correct (Verification).\nThe bones are often from cattle, oxen or monkeys, but never from\ncats or dogs.\nThe Yin(latter half of Shang) left written historic records containing\ninformation on the politics, economy, culture, religion, geography,\nastronomy, calendar, art and medicine of the period, and as such\nprovides critical insight toward the early stages of the Chinese\ncivilization. The site of the Yin capital, later historically called\nthe Ruins of Yin ,is near modern day Anyang Archaeological work\nthere uncovered 11 major Yin royal tombs and the foundations of\npalace and ritual sites, all of them containing\nweapons of war. Tens of thousands of bronze, jade, stone, bone and\nceramic artifacts have been obtained; the workmanship on the bronzes\nattests to a high level of civilization. In terms of inscribed oracle\nbones alone, more than 20,000 were discovered. Many Chinese characters\nfound in the inscriptions at the Ruins of Yin are still in use today.\nThe Shang dynasty is believed to have been founded by a rebel leader\nwho overthrew the last (still legendary) Xia ruler. Its civilization\nwas based on agriculture, augmented by hunting and animal husbandry.\nThe Records of the Grand Historian states that the Shang Dynasty\nmoved its capital six times. The final and most important move to\nYin in 1350 BC led to the golden age of the dynasty. The term Yin\nDynasty has been synonymous with the Shang dynasty in history, although\nlately it has been used specifically in reference to the latter\nhalf of the Shang.\nA line of hereditary Shang kings ruled over much of northern China,\nand Shang troops fought frequent wars with neighboring settlements\nand nomadic herdsmen from the inner Asian steppes. The capitals,\nparticularly in Yin, were centers of glittering court life. Court\nrituals to propitiate spirits and to honor sacred ancestors were\nhighly developed. In addition to his secular position, the king\nwas the head of the ancestor- and spirit-worship cult. Evidence\nfrom the royal tombs indicates that royal personages were buried\nwith articles of value, presumably for use in the afterlife. Perhaps\nfor the same reason, hundreds of commoners, who may have been slaves,\nwere buried alive with the royal corpse.\nShang Zhou, the last Yin king, committed suicide after his army was\ndefeated by the Zhou people. Legends say that his army betrayed him\nby joining the Zhou rebels in a decisive battle. A classical novel\nFengshen Yanyi is about the war between that of Yin and Zhou, in which\neach was supported by one group of gods.\nAfter the Yin's collapse, the surviving Yin ruling family collectively\nchanged their surname from their royal Ó (pinyin: zi; Wade-Giles:\ntzu) to the name of their fallen dynasty, Yin ó. The family\nremained aristocratic and often provided needed administrative services\nto the succeeding Zhou Dynasty. The Zhou King Cheng ÜÉõ\nthrough the Regent, his uncle the Duke of Zhou Dan , enfeoffed the\nShang King Zhou's brother the Viscount of Wei, WeiZi ¢Ó\nin the old Shang capital at Shang Ì with the territory becoming\nthe state of Song Î. The State of Song and the royal Shang\ndescendants maintained rites to the dead Shang kings and lasted\nuntil 286BC. (Source: Records of the Grand Historian).\nBoth Korean and Chinese legends state that a disgruntled Yin prince\nnamed þÓ Jizi (Kija), who refused to cede power to\nthe Zhou, left China with his garrison and founded Gija Joseon near\nmodern day Pyongyang to what would become one of the early Korean\nstates (Go-, Gija-, and Wiman-Joseon). Though Jizi is mentioned\nonly a few times in Shiji, it is thought that the story of his going\nto Joseon is but a myth.", "label": "No"}
{"text": "In the above video, Anthony Weiner, a democrat who is a candidate for the New York City Mayoral race, is arguing with a man who called him a \"scumbag\" and who Weiner later described as a \"heckler\". The following is a partial analysis of the argument focusing on some oft overlooked body language principles.\nThroughout the vast majority of this confrontation, Anthony Weiner invaded the other man's personal space - and indeed at times he appeared to almost touch him. While his heckler did not come nearly as close to Weiner with his hand/arm gestures (illustrators).\nThe other man rarely pointed at Weiner. When he pointed, the vast majority of the time he pointed up or with a slight angle tilted towards Weiner. This is a very important distinction.\nThis image summarizes the incident in a nutshell. Weiner pointed many times with his index finger (forefinger) directly at the other man - very often directly at his chest, while his confronter only once reciprocated.\nWeiner, who repeatedly used the index finger point (which is insulting and highly derogatory across all cultures and countries) has a CLOSED FIST.\nAnytime a closed fist is used, it will engender facial tension and anger. Tension in the face also will bring on tension in the hands. Both actions facilitate the other. Note the Weiner's face shows a high amount of anger while the other man's shows little.\nIf you see a jaw jut with an index finger point (or fist) - take precautions for violence is very possible.\nHere the \"heckler\" points for one of his very few times (especially when compared to the number of infractions Weiner committed) and his face in turn begins to take on a higher amount of anger.\nThis is a microexpression of anger. Its duration is very brief. His extremely thinned and horizontally oriented straight lips, clenched jaw, dilated (flared) nostrils and widely opened eyelids (here only his right eye is partially captured in the crucial instant) is an example of a nonverbal cluster of high anger.\nThis encounter is an excellent illustrator of the nonverbal principle, that when angry, insulting and confrontational body language is used - it will engender and escalate those same emotions (as demonstrated by Weiner). Moreover refraining from this body language helps to avoid this anger crescendo (exemplified by the other man). This principle is very important and often unaddressed in those with anger management problems. Intriguingly, those with impulsive behavior of anger also have increased probability of other impulsive behavior.\nNonverbal Communication Analysis No. 2475: Anthony Weiner & Huma Abedin Part IV - More Sexting Will Surface\nNonverbal Communication Analysis # 2405: Anthony Weiner's Running For Mayor of New York - His Body Language & His Sincerity Quotient\nNonverbal Communication Analysis No. 2469: Anthony Weiner, Huma Abedin and the NYC Mayoral Race Body Language & the Five Burroughs, Part I\nNonverbal Communication Secret # 1446: Tension in the Mouth - Tension in the Hands\nNonverbal Communication Analysis # 1918: Vladimir Putin - Pointing with Pen Surrogates - Sharp vs. Blunt\nNonverbal Communication Analysis No. 2493: Jewel in Disguise at Karaoke Bar, Body Language Cues to Lack of Nervousness\nNonverbal Communication Analysis # 2039: Fight Outside Florida Courtroom - Jaw Jut Prior to Violence", "label": "No"}

You can use the VMware Player on your own home computer to experiment with the OLPC desktop, a pre-built VMware appliance is available.\nWhy should this look so different from a Windows desktop? Rather than give the two-billion children in underdeveloped nations a computer with a standard desktop metaphore, the OLPC project is providing them a completely non-standard computing experience that has no provision for learning established GUI mechanisms.\nSure, there are menus and one might argue the nebulous onscreen “X” might be indicative of an icon, but generally speaking this is not anything like Windows XP, Mac OS X, Gnome or KDE.

{"text": "The Association for the Gifted (TAG), as part of the Council for Exceptional Children, is committed to providing educational opportunities which foster excellence and equity in a democratic pluralistic society. Achieving these goals requires that schools develop programs which honor diversity. Because children are capable of developing beyond where we are able to predict, schools must sustain educational programs which promote development and magnify differences among persons.\n“Inclusion” is a philosophical position which acknowledges these goals and champions programs which reform the “general” educational program to be more responsive to diversity. TAG embraces that philosophy and those policies which abandon a one-program-fits-all approach to education. Among school-aged children, TAG is especially concerned with those who exhibit three educationally relevant characteristics, i.e. rapid rate of learning and development in some domain, advanced knowledge in areas related to that domain and a seriousness about learning. Programs which call themselves – inclusion programs – and address these characteristics in a practical and meaningful way are appropriately named and are to be commended.\nAll children deserve varying experiences because they have different needs. Believing that all children are capable learners does not mean that all learn in the same way, at the same rate and can achieve the same outcomes in the same time frame. Placing children in situations where they face persistent failure is as inappropriate as placing them in situations where they face chronic lack of challenge. Learning to work together and helping others are worthwhile objectives that become unseemly when children are rarely challenged academically and intellectually. More, not less, attention to individual differences in learning and development is needed in order to have excellent and equitable schools.", "label": "No"}

As he, a world-renowned computer scientist and Michael Kurisu, the much-in-demand osteopathic physician at UC San Diego demonstrate, the balance of power between patients and doctors will change as technology gives patients the tools to know more about their own bodies. And the more informed they become, the more likely they will work with their doctors to develop treatment and prevention plans that are appropriate for them. Using Smarr as a case study, this patient and doctor show the benefits of hands-on, systems-based thinking in treating sciatica and self-diagnosing Crohn’s disease. Kurisu then takes these concepts to Project Apollo, a group of highly educated and motivated patients who call themselves “Little Larry’s” as they use the same techniques to address and treat their own health problems. All of this pointing to what theologian and physician Albert Schweitzer envisioned in the last century, “the doctor of the future will be one self.” Smarr and Kurisu are showing us how.\nDid you know that osteopathic physicians (DO’s) learn the same curriculum and train the same way as traditional medical students?

{"text": "They are some of the most ambitious education programs of the 20th century – school desegregation, school finance reform, and Head Start. Today, many view these initiatives as failures, but professor Rucker C. Johnson of UC Berkeley’s Goldman School of Public Policy disagrees. He and a team of researchers combed through data from over four decades to figure out the true impact of these programs. Their findings are detailed alongside compelling stories of real people in Johnson’s new book, Children of the Dream: Why School Integration Works. Recently, Johnson sat down with Goldman School Dean Henry E. Brady to discuss the book and his research.\nJohnson and his colleagues used big data and new techniques to look at the wide-ranging impacts of school desegregation. They tracked everything from high school graduation rates, to employment, wages and health. Thanks to the uneven implementation of desegregation, Johnson was able to compare children who grew up in similar environments, but experienced different levels of desegregation. He found a big part of the positive impact came from how desegregation affected access to class resources, after school programs, quality teachers, and smaller class sizes. And, the longer a student spent in desegregated schools, the greater the impact. In fact, the achievement gap between white and black students closed faster following desegregation than at any other time in American history.\nUnfortunately, the United States has moved away from integration. Today, many schools and classrooms are heavily divided along racial lines. Opponents of desegregation appear to have won. But, Johnson says there is still hope. He lays out the case for making integration a priority once again, using data to prove its effectiveness.

{"text": "An insightful publication by Fulco Scherjon, Corrie Bakels, Katharine MacDonald, and Wil Roebroeks in the June 2015 issue of Current Anthropology sheds new light on present-day and historical fire setting practices among hunter-gatherers and foragers. In the article, the authors argue that despite myriad burning practices common in present-day foraging populations, “‘off-site’ uses have received far less attention in studies of early fire use than ‘on-site’ fire usage.” (p. 301). A significant lack of dedicated studies about fire use among ancient hunter-gatherers therefore led them to embark on a global cross-cultural study.\nUsing eHRAF World Cultures, the researchers collected more than 230 cultural references to off-site fire use among foraging groups by searching the database for the following key words: “fire, pyrotechnology, burn(ing/t), landscape management, charcoal” (p. 302).\nWithin their search results, they discovered an incredible variety of off-site fire uses among hunter-gatherers. Situations involving purposeful fire-setting or burning include: the procurement of food and/or hunting; social interaction, communication and signaling (such as smoke signals); warfare; to keep away predators; and to modify the natural environment such as by stimulating the growth of specific types of plants or to clear the land. Fire is also commonly used for other social or ritual purposes like entertainment or rites (pp. 302-306).\nDespite common perceptions of foragers as peoples who live simply “off the land” – collecting only what is readily available for survival without greatly modifying the environment – anthropologists have long revealed that this is not an accurate depiction. The ethnographic record of hunter-gatherer fire and burning activities is clearly very rich, and Scherjon, et al. propose that this same plentitude of contemporary evidence implies that off-site burning was even more important in the past (p. 311) as an activity common to all fire-producing hominins. However, “the antiquity of off-site fire use is seriously frustrated by the near invisibility of fire use and production” in the archaeological record (p. 312). Thus, the authors conclude their article with a call for new data to better identify fire and burning in the archaeological and geological record.\nAdditional sources from eHRAF Archaeology\neHRAF World Cultures’ global ethnographic search is ideal for comparative anthropological studies; and, in this case, for supporting and illuminating archaeological theory with historical and contemporary context. The data enabled the authors to draw a complex and varied picture of fire use among hunter-gathering populations, finding commonalities that led them to conclude that the practice of off-site fire setting has roots into the much deeper past.\nHow might we look to the past to investigate further? Additional useful data from ancient and prehistoric societies can be found in eHRAF Archaeology, HRAF’s specialized online database containing books, journal articles, dissertations, and manuscripts about world prehistory and prehistoric cultures. Modeled after eHRAF World Cultures with a similar layout and navigation, eHRAF Archaeology categorizes archaeological documents into traditions organized by region. As with all eHRAF documents, the texts are also thoroughly subject-indexed at the paragraph level according to the Outline of Cultural Materials (OCM). In total, the eHRAF Archaeology database contains 94 traditions ranging in coverage from 230,000 BP to 100 BP. Every year, five archaeological traditions comprising approximately 10,000 new pages are coded and added to the database. For the list of traditions currently included, click here.\nSo what unique information about historical fire use by hunter-gatherers* can we uncover in eHRAF Archaeology?\nIt is possible to find specific uses of off-site burning among hunter-gatherer groups like those mentioned by Scherjon, et al., such as how foraging groups use fire/burning to clear the land or hunt and procure food. For instance, Crabtree, et al. (1991: 165), describe how the likely catastrophic mortality pattern of gazelle populations based on excavations at a late Natufian site in the lower Jordan Valley (11,530±1550 BP) implies “the use of a communal hunting method such as net-hunting or fire drives” as is also seen with modern gazelle herds in that region.\nSimilarly, Voorhies (1976: 24) found evidence among present populations at the Chantuto archaeological site in Southwestern Mexico of fire being set for the purpose of collecting turtles to eat. The turtles are normally difficult to collect because they hide in the water amongst cattail reeds; however, when the females move out of the water during the laying season, locals burn the nesting sites to procure the turtles and their eggs. She further suggests that “this procurement pattern may have considerable time depth in the study area” (ibid).\nThe HRAF Tradition Summary for the “Late Southern California” tradition describes how Native Californians used fire:\nAlthough they did not practice agriculture, Native Californians regularly manipulated their environment with vegetation burning. The deliberate burning promoted fire-following plants such as red maids ( Calandrinia spp.), chia ( Salvia columbariae), native barley (Hordeum intercedens), maygrass ( Phalaris spp.), goosefoot (Chenopodium spp.), and brodiaea ( Dichelostemma capitatum). Patchy areas of brush and grassland, which is the outcome of controlled burning, also provides better habitat for deer and rabbit (Berry and Johnson 2000: 8).\nEvery tradition in eHRAF Archaeology – like every culture in eHRAF World Cultures – contains a thorough content summary. Most of the summaries in eHRAF Archaeology were written by outside archaeologists for the Encyclopedia of Prehistory that was edited by Peter N. Peregrine and Melvin Ember. In addition, HRAF’s staff of analysts add a collection overview, document abstracts, and indexing notes as well as sometimes writing summaries such as the one above. They are a great place to start when you want to be introduced to a culture, tradition or the contents of the eHRAF collection for that topic.\nThe documents in eHRAF Archaeology are also useful for situating new ideas within the context of existing theory, ethnography and archaeological findings. For instance, several sources corroborate the contention by Scherjon, et al. that historical off-site fire usage was likely commonplace among hunter gatherers, but that more historical data is needed.\nOne such example begins by summarizing palynologist Linda Heusser’s analysis of fossil pollen and vegetational changes reflected in the pollen record in the Santa Barbara Channel region of California:\nAfter ca. 2200 B.P. various chaparral species became relatively more prevalent than before. Heusser suspects that climate may have become cooler and wetter during this period, reaching current conditions. However, she proposes that the increase in chaparral species may be related to an increased prevalence of fire caused by human intervention. The Chumash at the time of European contact are known to have burned purposefully lands in the coastal plain in order to propagate certain seed-bearing plants of interest, but the history of this practice has not been documented archaeologically (Glassow 1996: 107-108).\nAdditional studies also confirm that looking at present-day fire use can provide much-needed insight into similar practices in the past. Walker (1995: 28) arrives at a similar conclusion to Scherjon, et al. when he argues that recent fire use among hunter-gatherers in Zimbabwe for vegetation control and game drives likely indicates similar practices were common in the past, so much so that “it is likely that the vegetation during the Later Stone Age was in a constant state of flux”.\nFinally, Deacon focuses at length on fire usage among Holocene hunter-gatherers in the Eastern Cape of South Africa:\nIn relation to plant food collecting patterns and seasonality it is of interest to speculate on the role of fire. Fire is common in the grass and fynbos communities […] If judiciously used, fire can result in advanced flowering time and increased quantity of flowers produced in certain communities. Dyer [1937:54, cited in Deacon 1976] has suggested systematic burning was introduced in recent times to prevent the spread of bush and push back the succession to grassveld (1976: 100-101).\nHowever, referencing a related study of the effects of burning in the neighboring Grahamstown Nature Reserve, he proceeds to argue that:\nVeld burning may have been consciously practised rather earlier than suggested by Dyer above and may have been a management technique of the Holocene huntergatherers. Their adaptation was to such an intractable range of animal and plant species that this procedure would appear to have been the only one whereby some control of productivity in their environment could have been achieved. […] There is good ethnographic evidence for systematic seasonal burning of the veld being traditionally practised and ecological data to indicate that the timing of the burning is important in terms of the scale of regeneration (Deacon 1976: 101).\nWhile there is still much to discover, this particular excerpt from eHRAF Archaeology combines both theoretical and ethnographic context that is pertinent for advancing debates about prehistoric fire use among foragers.\nTwo databases; many intersections\nFor archaeologists and physical anthropologists interested in human prehistory, eHRAF Archaeology is a great place to start researching. Furthermore, as the selected examples above show, eHRAF World Cultures and eHRAF Archaeology together cover a broad range of cross-cultural topics on contemporary as well as past societies. This makes searching both databases especially useful when considering how present-day practices, cultures or regions compare with the historical and ancient activities, or when seeking evidence of cultural change in specific regions of the world.\nNot yet an eHRAF member?

{"text": "[<- Previous] [Contents of this lecture] [Next ->]\nLet me describe what we find if we try to calculate what happens with the simplest possible model of the hammer-string interaction. (Details may be found, along with a survey of the history of this problem, in Hall (1986, 1987a, 1987b).) There is a fairly simple differential equation that describes what must happen if the hammer is pictured as only an extra mass temporarily attached to the string (Fig. 7). We can write solutions to this equation that represent first a simple wave travelling away from the hammer in both directions (the curve labelled 0), and then the reflection of this wave from the ends of the string. When a reflected wave tries to pass the hammer, it pushes downward on it, and this interaction generates a new outgoing wave (labelled 1). This wave in turn, after reflection from the ends, gives rise to grandchildren (labelled 2), and so on. Thus, if the hammer remains in contact long enough, the total disturbance will include a large number of waves travelling in both directions. Such a theory, with perfectly hard hammers, will surely not predict what happens in a normal piano. But it could be applied to the case where a very \"tinny\" sound is achieved by putting thumbtacks (an American term; you may know them as \"drawing pins\") in the hammers.\nFig. 7. Shapes of the successive generations of waves created on a flexible string by the impact of a point-mass hammer; (0) initial wave, (1) daughter wave, (2) granddaughter wave, etc. The curves are normalized so that they may represent any key. Time is given in multiples (\"units\") of the typical hammer deceleration time (mc/2T) and the displacement in multiples of (mcV/2T), where m is the hammer mass, c is the propagation velocity on the string, T is the string tension, and V is the initial hammer velocity. For a blow in the middle register at mf the \"units\" would typically correspond to 1 ms and 1 mm, respectively.\nFig. 8. Representation of a soft hammer as a mass with a spring between it and the string. The compression of the hammer is equal to the difference between the displacement of the hammer after string contact (n), and the displacement of the string (y).\nIf we admit that the normal felt hammers are soft, we must go on to do our calculations based on a picture where a spring cushions the contact of the hammer mass with the string (Fig. 8). Now the exact shape of the wave travelling along the string depends on the strength of the spring (Fig. 9a). Here 0.1 denotes small compliance, meaning a strong spring and a stiff hammer; 1.5 means large compliance, a weak spring and a soft hammer. Figs. 9(b) and (c) show the effect of the compliance on the daughter and granddaughter waves. It is not surprising that greater compliance makes a smoother, more gentle wave.\nFig 9. Initial wave (a) and its descendants (b) and (c) created by impact of an idealized soft hammer on a string. The same \"units\" as in Fig. 7.\nNow doing a complete calculation of the string motion, including all these waves, would be very impractical by hand. But it is an ideal problem for a small computer, which can produce pictures like Fig. 10 showing the total effect of all the reflected waves on the shape of the string.\nFig. 10. Example of successive shapes taken by a string after hammer impact. The vertical lines represent how fast each part of the string is moving.\nThe computer program can be responsible not only for the arithmetic, but also for deciding at each moment how many waves are present, and for determining when the hammer finally loses contact with the string. A typical result is shown in Fig. 11, expressed in terms of the history of the force applied to the string. See how a soft hammer pushes rather steadily on the string, but a very hard hammer gives a series of sharp pulses of force. Once this information is known, it can be used to calculate how much energy has been delivered to the string, and how that energy is divided among the different harmonic modes.\nFig. 11. Force history for an idealized hammer with mass equal to that of the string, striking at 1/8 its length from one end. Examples of hammer compliance range from 0 (perfectly hard) to 0.8 (rather soft). This plot is normalized, using the same \"unit\" for time as in Fig. 7. Force is given in multiples of (2TV/c). For a mf blow in the middle register this \"unit\" would correspond to approximately 10 N.\nWhat is most interesting is to ask the computer to do many of these calculations, in order to see how the results depend on the properties of the hammer. Fig. 12 shows some sample predicted spectra, with very hard hammers at the back and softer ones toward the front; as we would expect, this says that the softer hammers would not have as much of the higher harmonics in their sound.\nFig. 12. Sample predicted spectra for a simplified (linear) hammer as a function of its compliance (softness).\n[<- Previous] [Top] [Contents of this lecture] [Next ->]\nThis lecture is one of Five lectures on the Acoustics of the piano\n© 1990 Royal Swedish Academy of Music", "label": "No"}
{"text": "“College isn’t for everyone” has been a common rhetoric detailing why parents shouldn’t force their children to pursue a higher education. However, it’s also shockingly fitting when applied to the growing inequality in education; as in, if you don’t have money, then it may not be for you. While no one is actually coming out and saying this, they might as well when you look at the cost of tuition in the US. The average student is graduating with over US$30,000 in debt for a monthly cost of US$393 post graduation\nWhile this has been a discussion for far too long, it appears that things are actually getting worse, especially so with the COVID-19 crisis. With all the talk about diversity right now, why aren’t we also focusing on education?\nThe middle and lower class crunch\nEconomically, pretty much everyone is taking a financial hit, unless you’re a technology company or maybe a grocery store. However, no one will be worse off by the end of this crisis than the middle and lower class. Unfortunately, this is where we see the biggest gaps of inequality.\nMoney isn’t exactly a luxury that many students have the affordance to spend. Sometimes it can even be a bit painful to cough up the US$1.50 coffee at university. And this was still the case with many students back when they could keep working their jobs, the most common of which either being a host or a waiter at a restaurant. But many now haven’t had the chance to bring in the extra few dollars each month.\nIf you then calculate that there’s a high probability that their parents have been out of work as well, or some even laid off, it’s very likely that students are left with a big decision to make: “can I continue my education right now?” A question to which over 50% of American students can’t confidently say “yes”.\nA COVID-related income issue isn’t the only thing that has affected students; it’s also the reliance on university facilities. University closures mean that students can’t access WiFi if needs be and 10% of households in the US still don’t have internet access. So, if they can’t purchase internet access or lack the proper technology, does that mean they shouldn’t study?\nTime to find solutions\nFinding a fix for the inequality in education has undoubtedly played its part in how long the issue has been affecting the system. However, it begins and ends with the universities, who have all the tools capable to help almost every student with financial issues.\nDecreasing tuition costs has been at the heart of the discussion, but it appears as if most universities aren’t interested in doing this despite their facilities being closed and students not having access to the resources they pay for. So, what other options can help?\nThis starts with those who have been on the favourable side of the squeeze of the middle class: the wealthy. And, it’s not about taxing them; it’s about them stepping up and using their enormous bank accounts to ensure that the future leaders are well educated and well prepared. Some have already started donating funds to universities, but if the universities aren’t allocating these funds correctly, who does the money ego to?\nOne solution that could solve the problem is to have the donated funds used to finally create an income-based tuition programme, whereby the amount of tuition fees paid is determined by family income. That way, at least they could still feel comfort that if their financial struggles become serious, their education won’t have to suffer the full brunt of it.\nBut that still won’t solve some students’ reliance on the university’s technology if there’s a prolonged closure of facilities. Once again, universities should be looking to help all students succeed. The equipment that’s going unused could be loaned out to students in need. Internet access cards should be available to anyone who can’t access a connection. If the universities aren’t allowing students to use the tech they pay for, they could at least provide them to the students who need them the most.\nIf the recent protests have taught us anything, it’s that the world is tired of inequality and is pushing for diversity. With this change, it would be a real shame if education was left out of the picture.", "label": "No"}

Though considered vulnerable as a wild species, it is still commonly found in the pet trade industry. A predominantly green bird, it is found in the forests of Mexico and South America. Military Macaws live in large flocks and can live about 50–60 years in the wild. They can often be heard long before they are seen. They are a very noisy bird making a variety of loud cracking and shrieking sounds, including a loud kraa-aak.", "label": "No"}
{"text": "By Amen Said Abel-Ghany\nWJMCR 41 (March 2011)\nThis study examines the ability of new media to support democracy and play a role in changing Egypt as a model for developing countries. This is accomplished through studying the use of Egyptian political movements such as the “Kfaiya Movement”, “April 6 Youth Movement” and “The National Assembly for Change”. These movements used the new media to express their views, call others to participate in the activities they hold, and try to change the existing political system. This study surveyed a sample of these political movements members and Egyptian media specialists and revealed the ability of new tools for change and support democracy. At the same time, respondents affirmed the limited impact of these instruments in Egypt, because Egyptian political movements do not efficiently use the new media of communication, as 70% of the sample said that these movements “sometimes” do not use the new media efficiently.\nResearchers attached high hopes on new media in promoting democracy all over the world, and seeking to change human societies to the best. Though researchers monitored many cases where new media played an influential role, their hopes seem far away so far, especially in developing countries. This study examines the ability of new media to support democracy and play a role in changing Egypt as a model for developing countries. This is accomplished through studying the use of Egyptian political movements such as the “Kfaiya Movement”, “April 6 Youth Movement” and “The National Assembly for Change”. These movements used the new media to express their views, to call others to participate in the activities they hold, and to try to change the existing political system. This study surveyed a sample of these political movements members and Egyptian media specialists and revealed the ability of new tools for change and support democracy. At the same time, respondents affirmed the limited impact of these instruments in Egypt, because Egyptian political movements did not efficiently use the new media of communication sometimes, as 70% of the sample said. There are differences between the two elements of the sample– media professionals and members of political movements. The respondents revealed several reasons for misuse of the new media and their limited impact. The most important of these reasons are:\n- Political reasons: including: network chasing, official violence pointed to change movements and trapping their activities in the street.\n- Social reasons such as: illiteracy, the ruling system of traditional values in these communities, the low educational level and high level of cultural illiteracy. In addition to the decline in using new media, as they are usually used by young people in developing societies, who are naturally not active, particularly in Arab societies, and only use them for recreational purposes.\n- Economic reasons such as poverty and lack of social justice in distributing wealth.\nThe study revealed that the majority of respondents affirmed that Egyptian political movements converted to electronic phenomena of confined and trapped in cyberspace. The same thing happened to Egyptian political parties which turned into, paper phenomena as they only exist through the newspapers. Only 25% of the respondents said that Egyptian political movements did not convert to a digital phenomenon in confined cyberspaces, while 47% of them said that they converted to – some extent – to a digital phenomenon and 27% said that they actually turned to a digital phenomena as political parties – formerly – into press phenomena.\nThe use of new media increased democratic participation by the otherwise apathetic masses in many places, but the means and results of the political use of new media are dissimilar. The American and Hong Kong civil societies cases both support several generalizations about how new media may increase participation in politics. First, they reduce frictions in political mobilization particularly in fund raising, voting and participation in protests. This is particularly useful at times of general discontent in the society. Second, they foster a sense of individual empowerment among citizens, thereby reducing political apathy. Third, so far political insurgents (those out of office or out of the mainstream) have more effectively experimented with alternative media than incumbents, who enjoy advantages in resources and access to the traditional mass media. Fourth, in election campaigns, the more competitive the race, the higher the incentives are for the candidates to explore creative use of digital media.1The Arabs started using new media heavily in 2003 in line the U.S. invasion of Iraq . the blogs were first and most important forms used in the Arab world, and became the blogging phenomenon in the Arab world in 2006.2 The distribution of Arabic blogs are not equal in terms of the number of Arab countries, where Egypt comes in the first place followed by Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, and Morocco.3\nThe political implications come at the top of the topics offered in Arabic blogs, followed by social issues and religious subjects. Individual blogs far outnumber collective blogging. Bloggers use Arab Arabic basically.4\nLynch says describes blogging activity this way:\n“Arab political bloggers engage in three principle types of activity: activism, bridge-blogging, and public sphere engagement. Activists are directly involved in political movements, using blogs to coordinate political action, spread information, and magnify the impact of contentious politics. Bridgebloggers primarily address Western audiences, usually writing in English with the intention of explaining their societies. Finally, public-sphere bloggers tend not to be directly involved in a political movement, but are deeply engaged with public arguments about domestic (and often Arab or Islamic) politics.”5\nThere are many political movements and civil societies’ organizations in Egypt since the year 2000 as:\nThe Egyptian Movement for Change “Kefaia“:The Egyptian Movement for Change Kefaia is a collection of various Egyptian political bodies aimed at establishing a new legitimacy in Egypt, after getting rid of Hosni Mubarak’s regime.\nIt started after the change of Egyptian cabinet in July 2004, when three hundred of Egyptian intellectuals and public figures representing the entire Egyptian political spectrum, wrote a document calls for real political change in Egypt and ending economic injustice and corruption in foreign policy. Kefaia followed the style of protest in most of its opposition situations against Egyptian regime which responded to the movement growth – that reached to 22 out of the 26 Egyptian governorates – with campaigns of detention and dragged that were described by the movement as savage. Kefaia won intense media support led by opposition newspapers, whose ceiling of freedom in what they are writing, raised because of Kefaia. Many journalists of those newspapers wrote almost daily about people they were banned to mention just before the emergence of this movement such as Egyptian President’s family, especially his wife and his son Gamal Mubarak.6\nKefaia founded a website on the Internet, taking into account individual initiative and small group work, which brought great flexibility of movement at the same time accused of losing control of its internal events, they turned the stream of following-up events for the maker of the events in some situations, attitudes. The spread of the Egyptian Movement for Change Kefaia stimulatedthe emergence of other specific and class movements like “Youth for Change”, “Workers for Change”, and Journalists for Change” and “Students for change”. Professional and freedom demands throughout Egypt went out of this movement as well as many others cadres and ideas used by the political parties and the Muslim Brotherhood in parallel activities. The movement called for a series of demonstrations on the Internet, namely:\n- 12 December 2004 before the High Court in Cairo.\n- 4 February 2005 at the Cairo Book Fair,\n- 21 March 2005 in Cairo’s Tahrir Square.\n- 30 March 2005 in three governorates.\n- 27 April 2005 in 15 governorates .\n- 25 May 2005 on the referendum of the Constitution.\n- 1 June 2005 at the Press Syndicate.\n- 8 June 2005 in front of the tomb of Saad Zaghloul.\n- 6 April 2008 as part of a call for a general strike in Egypt\nKefaia Mandra:The Kefaiamovement has a forum on the Internet, which is subordinate link from the movement official site and is considered as one of the strongest and best Egyptian political and cultural forums on the Internet which has thousands of participating members.Kefaia Mandra forum is characterized by its highly qualified members in culture and science, including many lawyers, journalists and writers, including a large number of bloggers and human rights activists. The Mandra site on the Internet is http://harakamasria.org/.7\nApril Youth Movement: It is an Egyptian political opposition movement which emerged in 2008, created by some Egyptian youth after the Egyptian general strike April 6, 2008, as response to the call of the Mahalla textile workers and the solidarity of the political forces, and youth adopted it and began to call for a general strike all over Egypt. Most members of this movement are young people who do not belong to a specific trend or a political party and the movement is keen not to adopt certain ideology to preserve its ideological diversity and to achieve the need for unification and coalition and rejection of dispute.\nOn 6 April 2008, some young people announced their solidarity with the strike of workers and adopted the idea of journalist Magdi Ahmed Hussein, who suggested the strike, should be in all Egypt, not only for workers. The movement began to make Facebook groups to spread the idea of the strike and send messages to Egyptian Facebook members (whose number reached to 70,000 in one group) calling for the strike. After a while some Egyptian newspapers talked about the strike idea and the movement and in a few days, messages randomly called for a general strike on 6 April.\nSome parties and Egyptian opposition movements responded to the idea of the strike such as Kefaia, the Muslim Brotherhood (withdrew later), Karama Party, El Wasat Party, the Labor Party, the movement of property taxes personnel, the movement of administrators and workers in education sector, Egyptian Lawyers Association and 9th of March Movement (known as movement universities professors) and some intellectuals and bloggers and online activists. In a short time, the idea of the strike spread in all parts of Egypt and was under the name “Stay at Home”. It also called for demonstrations in several places in Cairo, Alexandria, and Mahalla. A number of its members were arrested after the implementation of the strike.\nAfter the movement demonstrated outside the Press Syndicate in Cario, on June 28 2008, it appeared again in July 2008 and organized a march by some of the movement young people on the Corniche in the sea and one of Alexandria beaches, raised Egypt flags and sang some patriotic songs, but they were surprised by the siege of central security forces who arrested some of them, some other flew through the side streets in the area.8\nNational Assembly for change is a loose grouping Egyptians from all various political and religious affiliations, including representatives of civil society and young people aims to change in Egypt, and for this there was general agreement for the need to unite all voices calling for change within a National Assembly asked Mohamed ElBaradei, to be the leader and support it, so that it becomes a general framework under which all voices calling for change can gather.\nThe main objective of the Assembly is working to reach a political system based on actual democracy and social justice. The first achieve this is to ensure basic guarantees for free and fair elections involving all Egyptians, to provide an equal opportunity for all, in either legislative or presidential elections. This is a part of guarantees and procedures sought by broad categories of Egyptian society for many years, particularly:\n- Ending the state of emergency.\n- Enabling Egyptian judiciary to have full control on the whole electoral process.\n- Supervising electoral process by the local civil society and international organizations\n- Providing equal opportunities in the media for all candidates, especially in presidential election.\n- Enabling Egyptians abroad to exercise their right to vote in Egyptian embassies and consulates.\n- Ensuring the right of candidature in the presidential election without arbitrary restrictions in line with Egypt’s obligations to the International Convention for Civil and Political Rights, and limiting the right of candidature for the presidency to two terms.\n- Voting by the national ID.9\n- Modifying Article 76 of the Egyptian Constitution.\n- Modifying Article 77 of the Egyptian Constitution which states that “Presidency term is six calendar years starting from the date of announcing the referendum results, and president may be re-elected for another term.\n- Modifying Article 88 of the Egyptian Constitution which states that “The law defines the conditions to be found in members of People Assembly, shows the rules of election and referendum, voting takes place in one day. A supreme independent fair committee supervises election, as regulated by law, which specifies the responsibilities of the committee, the method of formation and guarantees of its members, provided that it should involve, current and former members of judicial bodies,. This supreme committee is responsible for establishing general committees, which oversee elections in all electoral districts, committees which exercise the voting procedures and sorting committees, provided that general committees should be established from the members of judicial bodies, and that sorting process must be done under the supervision of general committees, and all this must be done according to the rules and procedures prescribed by law. “10\nH1: There are statistically significant differences between political movements’ members and media specialists in the efficient use of new media.\nH2: There are statistically significant differences between political movements’ members and media specialists in the effectiveness of new media.\nH3: There are statistically significant differences between political movements’ members and media specialists in the ability of new media means in making change in developing countries.\nThe study has an intentional sample of (100) media specialists (journalists – university professors, media researchers) and (100) members of political movements.\nA field study was applied on specialists and political movements’ members to discuss:\n- Uses and forms of new media by Egyptian political movements.\n- The direct results in the short term from uses of new media by Egyptian political movements.\n- Expected Results on the long-term from uses of new media by Egyptian political movements.\n- Opportunities for making change through these media in developing societies such as Egypt.\n- The relation between new media and information curtain (do they unfold information curtain? Or would they make their own curtain?)\nThis study used a questionnaire composed of five dimensions:\n- Using new media by political movements.\n- Evaluating Egyptian political movements’ use of the new media.\n- The possibility of achieving change of reality through using new media.\n- The political movements’ future use of the new media.\n- Respondents’ data.\nThe questionnaire was administrated from March 2010 until May 2010 by direct interview with the respondents.\nThe preliminary form of the questionnaire was judged by 10 referees specialized in new media research and research methodology to examine its validity. Referees’ remarks were gathered and used in developing the final form of the questionnaire.\nAnalysis reliability was measured by re-analyzing one fourth of the questionnaire. The reliability coefficient between the two analyses was .96.\nThe order of new media as used by Egyptian political movements\nEgyptian political movements depend on blogs, websites, chat rooms and e-mail more than forums, audio and video materials, SMS, online advertising, or telephone and web cams details as follows:\nAccording to the specialists’ opinion, the order of communication media used by political movements was as follows: blogging came in the first place, followed by websites, e-mail, chat rooms, online advertising, forums, audio and video materials, online telephone, SMS, virtual reality techniques, and at last web cams.\nAccording to the movements members’ opinion, the order of communication media used by political movements was as follows:, blogging was in the first place, then websites, chat rooms, e-mail, audio and video materials, forums, SMS, virtual reality techniques, online advertising, online telephone, and at last webcams.\nAccording to the total sample’s opinion, the order of communication media used by political movements was as follows: blogging came in the first place, then websites, chat rooms, e-mail, forums, audio and video materials, SMS, online advertising, virtual reality techniques, online telephone, and at last webcams.\nNew Media Order According to Use by Political Movements\nThe nature of the Egyptian political movements and their relation to new media 29% of respondents saw a link between the Egyptian political movements and new media, and agreed that these movements are the result of new media, while 62% of them stress that these movements use these media and rely on them in continuing their activities, this can be noticed as follows:\nOf the specialists, 66% said the Egyptian political movements use new media, and 53% said that Egyptian political movements imitate global movements. Also, 45% said that Egyptian political movements are the secretion of the Egyptian reality, while 34% said that Egyptian political movements are results of new media of communication. See Table 2.\nOf the movements members, 84% said that Egyptian political movements are the secretion of the Egyptian reality, 58% said that these movements use new media, 24% said that Egyptian political movements are results of new media of communication and 19% said that Egyptian political movements imitate global movements.\nSixty-four percent of the respondents said that Egyptian political movements are the secretion of the Egyptian reality, and 62% of them said that these movements use new media. Thirty-six percent said that Egyptian political movements imitate global movements, while only 29% said that Egyptian political movements are results of new media of communication, as Table 2 indicates.\nNature of the Egyptian Political Movements and Their Relation to New Media\nCases occurred in reality as a result of Egyptian political movement’s use of the new media. The study sample affirms that 12 real cases occurred as a result of Egyptian political movement’s use of the new media.\nTable 3 shows 29.7% of the specialists said sit-ins and protests were main use in reality of use of new media, 22.0% said participation in elections was main sue and 12.2% said paying attention to issues defended by the movements and the emergence of new movements was main use.\nTable 3 also shows movements members had a different perspective with 33.9% saying said sit-ins and protests were main use in reality, 25.0% said sit-ins and demonstrations in the recent period was main use and 10.7% said the support of some political figures was main use.\nAccording to 31.9% the total sample, main use was sit-ins and protests, while 15.5% said the response to most sit-ins and demonstrations in the recent period was main use and 9.3% said participation in elections and the emergence of new movements was main use, as Table 3 shows.\nUses Occurred in Reality as Result of Egyptian Political Movement’s Use of New Media\nMembers of the study sample identified 23 causes of making no change, in Egyptian reality, despite Egyptian political movements’ use of new media, some reasons are related to the ruling regime, others belong to the nature of society and reasons related to the movements, its nature and efficiency of their use of new media, details as follows:\nTable 4 indicates 15.9% of the specialists said Egyptian political movements seeking personal purposes and interests was main reason for absence of change despite use of new media, while 11.4 said these movements do not reflect or represent the reality. Three reasons change does not occur are cited by 9.1%.\nTable 4 shows 38.1% of the movements members said absence was change was because these movements are suppressed and controlled by the state security, while 19.0% said it was because change does not stem from these movements and 14.3% said it was because of the absence of the public will for change and the lack of solidarity on behave of a wide range of people.\nOf the total sample 12.3% said absence of change was because those movements are suppressed and controlled by the state security, while12.3% said it was because they seek personal purposes and interests and 10.8%, said it was because these movements do not reflect or represent the reality.\nCauses of No Change in Spite of Egyptian Political Movements’ Use of New Media\nRespondents identified 37 changes that can happen in the future if Egyptian political movements more efficiently use new media, as follows:\nIn first place, 11.1% of the specialists put scattering society into groups and categories and public response to the calls of movements. Youth political participation, freedom of thought and opinion, and public awareness of the reality and the possibility of mobilizing them with a percentage were cited by 8.3%. Political mobilization, having an active role in political life, improving the country in all aspects of life, creating a public compressing opinion for change, participation of Egyptians abroad and the disappearance of traditional media were cited by 5.6%.\nIn first place, movements members put changing ruling regime with a percentage of 13%, followed by public awareness of the reality and the possibility of mobilizing them with a percentage of 11.1%. Then youth political participation, creating a public compressing opinion for change, modifying some articles of the Constitution were cited by 7.4%. Raising political awareness, emergence of new movements, increasing margin of freedom, cancellation of emergency law, enlightening public with rights and interests, more courage in protests and national and international with movements were cited by 5.6%, as Table 5 indicates.\nIn first place, total sample put public awareness of the reality and the possibility of mobilizing them with a percentage of 10%, followed by freedom of thought and opinion with a percentage of 8.9% and youth political participation and changing ruling regime with a percentage of 78%.\nChanges That Can Occur in Future Reality, When Egyptian Political Movements Use New Means\nRespondents identified 17 cases changes that can happen in the future when Egyptian political movements use new media, as Table 6 shows.\nIn first place, 34.9% of specialists identified constitutional amendments . Next came responding to some of the demonstrations and political participation cited by 16.3 %, followed by knowing of citizens’ rights and duties and freedom of opinion and expression cited by 9.3%.\nTop pick by movements members was Baradei campaign on Facebook cited by 11.8%, followed by constitutional amendments, knowing of citizens’ rights and duties, making individuals aware with reality and more political mobility that could lead to public pressure to improve life conditions cited by 8.8%.\nHowever, the total sample identified constitutional amendments as first with a percentage of 23.4%, followed by responding to some of the demonstrations and political participation knowing of citizens’ rights and duties cited by 9.1%.\nCases Which Can Occur in Future Reality When Egyptian Political Movements Use New Media\nRespondents mentioned 17 reasons for the transformation of the Egyptian political movements to digital phenomena confined in cyberspace. Political parties formerly turned to press phenomena.\nTable 7 shows the first reason specialists cited was that those movements do not seek the interests of society cited by 23.1%. Another 12.8% said they do not actually exist, while 7.7 said they are not sufficiently effective, their impact on reality is not clear, and lack of public awareness.\nMovements members put illiteracy, poverty and security chases first with a percentage of 33.3%, followed by 26.7% who said restrictions put on the movements were the reason and 20% who said many negative techniques used to express themselves, like demonstrations, etc. with a percentage of 20%. was the reason.\nTable 8 shows some specialists (15.6%) think that digital phenomena of those movements are confined to cyberspace is that they are not actually on the ground while 13.3% believe they only depend on electronic media and 8.9% think they are confined to certain categories and segments and do not represent the rest of society.\nOne fifth of the movements members said restrictions re the reason for this, while 14% said it was because movements are not actually on the ground and 12% said security checks were main reason.\nOf the total sample, 14.7% said those movements are not found in reality 10.5% cited restrictions on them with as a percentage of and 9.5% said they only depend on electronic media.\nReasons for the Transformation of the Egyptian Political Movements to Digital Phenomena Confined in Cyberspace “Sometimes”\nThose who said “no” identified 16 reasons why the Egyptian political movements did not convert to digital phenomena, as follows:\nTable 9 shows one fourth of the specialists think reason those movements did not convert to digital phenomena was that they are still unknown, while 18.8% say they are not confined to cyberspace but also they spread to the rest of the media and the Egyptian street and 12.5% said today’s youth are those category who use of these media most.\nOf the movements members, 17.1% said because they are not confined to cyberspace but also they spread to the rest of the media and the Egyptian street they helped in increasing the activists’ effectiveness and communication with public powers, and 14.3% said cyberspace is accompanied with the existence of street powers (strikes & demonstrations), while 11.4% said it was because the youth of today use these methods most and because cyberspace is accompanied by a strong presence in the street.\nOf the total sample, 17.6% said put they are not confined to cyberspace but also they spread to the rest of the media and the Egyptian street. and 11.8% said followed because the youth of today are the ones that use digital media most widely used of these methods with a percentage.\nHypothesis 1: The first hypothesis states that “There are statistically significant differences between political movements’ members and media specialists in the efficient use of new media “. There are significant statistical differences between specialists and members of movements in the efficiency of the use of new methods.\nHypothesis 2: The second hypothesis states that: “There are statistically significant differences between political movements’ members and media specialists in the effectiveness of new media.” This hypothesis is confirmed.\nHypothesis 3: The third hypothesis states that” There are statistically significant differences between political movements’ members and media specialists in the ability of new media means in making change in developing countries. This hypothesis is confirmed.\nIn all three cases, movements members rate new media higher than the specialists do.\nAmen Said Abel-Ghany is an assistant professor and chair in the Media Education Department at Mansura University in Egypt.", "label": "No"}
{"text": "There are at least two general approaches you can take when beginning your speech or message. You can begin with a . . . .\nPerry Mason Approach\nIf you have seen both series — then you are around my age — and you realize that there are two approaches to framing a murder mystery. Our family used to sit around the television and watch Perry Mason on Friday evenings. Each of us would take a guess near the end of that particular episode as to who was guilty. You had to call it before Perry Mason got the killer to admit he was guilty. Even in the last minutes of the trial while individuals were testifying on the stand, you were changing your mind. “Who done it” was revealed in the very last minutes! — followed by a final few closing minutes of how Perry Mason figured it all out at the end.\nThen Columbo came to TV, and it became the new American mystery series to watch in the 70’s. However, with Columbo, the approach was radically changed! The viewer found out who the murderer was within the early minutes of the episode. Now it was up to Columbo to figure out who did it. The viewer watched Columbo step his way through the various events and possible clues, moving him closer and closer to identifying the guilty person(s). “Who done it” was known from the beginning and you watched it move to that revelation.\nI am sure you see the very point I am about to make when I say “Perry Mason or Columbo. These two series capture the two different approaches to presentation.\nA speaker can lay out the aim, the Big Idea, the point of the speech or message at or near the beginning — within the early minutes of the speech/message.\nA speaker can take a journey with the audience, moving step by step, closer and closer to the point(s) he wants to establish — nearer the end.*\nI would imagine that many, if not most, speakers begin with the Columbo approach — stating their aim – goal – purpose – main or big idea — right up front.\nThe Columbo approach would probably begin or sound something like this . . . .\nToday, we are going to answer the question, How do you get through the trials of life with joy — James 1 — How does a person go through troubles and still have a joy in his or her heart?\nTurn to Ephesians 3 as we look at the mystery of the church. Paul is going to lay out for us the background of where the idea of the church came from in the plan and program of God. That is Paul’s aim in the first verses of Ephesians chapter 3.\nWhat are the differences between the seven churches in the book of Revelation, and which one would typify us? We are going to look at the seven church of Revelation and see their differences as well as some of the characteristics which may mark a church, maybe our church – today.\nThe speaker is announcing to the audience the “end of the story” up front. There is no “mystery” for the listeners to figure out. They know where they are headed, and the rest of the message will be focused on getting there.\nIf you were to leave before the end of the message you still know the point which is going to be made, you know the “who done it.”\nAt the beginning the audiences knows understands the point of the message. Then, that is followed by a presentation of information which moves the audience to that announced point or those points. The end comes at the beginning.\nThe Perry Mason approach would probably begin or sound something like this . . . .\nJoseph is the second youngest of 12 brothers. There are four basic chapters in his life which contribute to establishing of a biblical principle which is both illustrated and then stated at the end of Joseph’s trial and at the end of his life.\nThe first chapter in Joseph’s life begins in Genesis 37, where he is the favored son of Jacob. That favor is reflected in what we call – a coat of many colors . . . . yada . . . . yada . . . . yada . . . .\nThe second chapter in Joseph’s life begins with a plot to kill him . . . . yada . . . . yada . . . . yada . . . .\nThe next chapter takes place in Egypt where Joseph must now navigate through the injustice of both his brothers and a scorned woman. . . . yada . . . .yada . . . . yada . . . .\nThe final chapter in Joseph’s trial begins with Joseph as “prince” of Egypt . . . . yada . . . . yada . . . . yada . . . . He has his brothers standing before him and he says, “I am Joseph!” . . . . yada . . . . yada . . . . yada . . . .\nNow, it is at this point where Joseph is going to tell his brothers and us how he was able to navigate through all that has happened and arrive at a place of spiritual growth and personal peace in light of the many wrongs with which he has had to deal.\nJoseph now tells us as he responds to his brothers – there in the land of Egypt – how he has not turned bitter, but how he is a better person . . . . “God sent me here” . . . . Later on, he is going to say it this way, “You meant it for evil, but God meant it for good” . . . . Joseph’s thinking and heart’s attitude lead him to do what was right and avoid revenge . . . .\nIt will only be as we see God’s hand and working in our lives amidst the trials – troubles – problems – tests – painful experiences – long days and even years of discouragement and disappointment — that there is hope for stability in our lives. It will only be as we can talk to ourselves and listen to that truth that this is God at work — that God wants to both reveal and test us in and through the situations of life — that we will make it through better and not bitter . . . .\nWith the Perry Mason approach, the speaker is holding off the audience. The speaker is moving somewhere, and the audience is waiting to hear the main driving idea(s) of the message. The end is at the end. You must wait until the end to hear the conclusion of the whole message. If you must leave before the end of the message you miss the “who done it.”\nNote: While it seems like narrative portions of Scripture (much of the Old Testament, the Gospels, and the book of Acts) lend themselves more readily to the “Perry Mason” approach, that is not actually true. The Perry Mason approach also works with grammatical portions of Scripture. There are many biblical truths which are found at the end of a particular grammatical passage. Verses in a Psalm, or a section of Proverbs, or in a section of a New Testament epistle can and do lead to – move toward – a main or culminating idea(s).\nAs you listen to various messages, and/or think about your own approach, say to yourself — Perry Mason or Columbo?\nAs you listen to various speakers, and/or think about your own speaking, ask yourself — Am I primarily Perry Mason or Columbo?\nAs you consider varying your approach, see if you can flip it from a Perry Mason approach to a Columbo approach, or flip it from a Columbo approach to a Perry Mason approach.\nIt is not that one approach is inherently better than another.\nSometimes one or the other approach will simply NOT work by the very nature of the passage.\nAt other times, one approach is what naturally works with the passage, especially when it comes to narrative accounts. However, even with narrative accounts which typically lend themselves to a “Perry Mason Approach,” you do not have to begin by announcing the aim or Big Idea. Hold the audience off until near the end.\nAt other times you will be using the Perry Mason or the Columbo approach, but you simply have not consciously identified it as such in your mind. If you do not know what you are doing it is problematic to change it up.\nSometimes you can use both approaches. An example of this is found in Luke 18:1ff where Luke begins by announcing the purpose of the parable in Luke 18:1 and then the parable which Jesus gave is stated, which is a story which leads to a point and that point.\nNevertheless, consciously recognize how you are approaching the passage and/or decide if you want to change the way you are doing it.\nThink about adding variety to your approach – conscious variety – and avoiding the “same old same old.”\n*I do not like the terms, but sometimes this is called an “Inductive” and a “Deductive” Approach. These terms are really terms of logic, not arrangement, but I understand how they are used this way.", "label": "No"}
{"text": "To sound younger try using the higher pitch of your voice and raise Adam’s apple. Also, speak faster, louder and more enthusiastically to capture the manner of a young person. Lastly, eliminate the breathy qualities of your voice, add vocal fry, avoid soft speech and hoarse voice.\nRaise the pitch\nA higher pitched voice is associated more with younger people. Therefore, use a higher pitch of your voice to sound younger\nTo achieve a younger, higher pitch voice try to speak from an upper part of your face. It should feel as if the voice was coming from above the palette of your mouth.\nYou can read more about achieving a higher pitch voice in this article.\nRaise the Adam’s apple\nLearn to adjust your Adam’s apple position to be able to change the pitch of your voice at will. This will help to go between the regular to a younger version of your voice faster.\nRaise the tongue to almost reach the roof of your mouth to position your Adam’s apple higher. This exercise will increase the pitch of your voice.\nAlso, practice lowering your Adam’s apple and voice to learn to control the voice better. You can lower Adam’s apple by placing the tongue onto the bottom of your mouth.\nSounding young is not all about the pitch of your voice, it’s also the manner of your speech that matters. To better understand a young character try to imagine what it feels to be like one.\nYoung people generally tend to speak fast. That’s because they often speak first and think later. While, on the other hand, with age, we tend to ponder and draw out sentences.\nTo sound young increase the speed of your speech. You can do so by practicing reading your script or a book at a faster pace than usual.\nSound naive and curious\nWith age, we tend to experience more and we become less fazed by whatever is happening around us. On the other hand, young people tend to experience new things all the time. Thus young people often sound puzzled, curious and naive.\nTherefore, it makes sense to sound slightly naive or curious when impersonating a young character.\nOnce in a while, you can even convert some statement sentences to questions to make your character sound a bit doubtful and uncertain.\nAgain, everything is new and exciting for young people. So, add a bit of excitement to your voice. Don’t be afraid to shout in excitement or finish sentences at a faster pace.\nYou can practice sounding excited by reading brochures or manual instructions in the most excited voice you can achieve. If you manage to show emotions while reading a manual, you can do it while performing any script.\nLose the breathy voice\nAs we tend to get older our voice becomes breathy due to the loss of vocal muscles. The breathy voice is created by vocal cords not closing down fully when we speak, which allows extra air to pass through, thus creating a breathy voice.\nHence, a breathy voice is associated with older age, meaning you want to lose it if you plan to sound young.\nIf you have a breathy voice, try to do the opposite of a breathy voice, which is adding some vocal fry.\nVocal fry is “ahhh” sound that is induced by not enough air coming through your vocal cords. It creates a crackling sound that is more prevalent among younger people.\nTo lose a breathy voice, try maintaining vocal fry with “ahhh” sound. Then introduce vocal fry while speaking and gradually lower vocal fry to achieve a more normal sounding voice, just without breath.\nIf you have a good imagination, you can try thinking of the vocal cords as a light source. If it’s a tight beam of light then your vocal cords are compressed and you sound young with no breathiness. A wide light source will decompress your vocal cords and make you sound breathy and old.\nMake yourself loud. With age, our voices become softer and we tend to speak quieter due to the loss of vocal capacity. To make your voice sound younger keep it at a higher volume.\nIf you can exhale more air, that will help to produce more volume and sound younger.\nYou can try the following to enhance breathing capabilities:\n- Diaphragm breathing\n- Holding the breathing\nBelly breathing exercises can help to utilize your diaphragm for deeper breathing. It will help to produce more volume and perform other vocal techniques with more ease which will all help to sound younger.\nAvoid hoarse voice\nThe human voice becomes hoarse due to the stress it endures. You will rarely find young people with hoarse voices. On the other hand, as we age, vocal cords can get damaged when overusing the voice and start sounding hoarse.\nYou can get a hoarse voice by speaking at an unnatural pitch of your voice for a prolonged period, shouting, smoking or drinking.\nAnything that can damage vocal cords will make your voice sound hoarse and you want to avoid it if you plan on sounding young.\nIf you have a hoarse voice, try resting and using it less. Also, make sure you don’t speak in unnaturally high or low pitch for too long.\nBy preserving vocal cords and avoiding certain bad habits you can keep your voice sounding naturally younger for longer.\nEdit your voice\nFinally, if you are recording and don’t perform live you can make your voice sound a bit younger by editing it in post.\nUse the change pitch effect and add a few semitones to make your voice higher pitched. Then, try increasing the tempo to make it faster paced.\nIn addition, cutting some of the low-end frequencies using EQ will help to reduce some bass that we associate with maturity and older age. You can follow EQ settings in the picture below to make your voice recording sound younger.", "label": "No"}

{"text": "Calving Cows on Cornstalks – Nutritional Considerations\nCalving season is getting underway and many producers choose to calve out on cornstalk fields. Residue fields can be a good place to maintain cowherds until cool season grasses are available but often times, calving occurs during February and March to avoid the busy farming responsibilities later in the spring.\nLactation begins while the cows are on low quality forage (50% total digestible nutrients or TDN) and supplying 2-2.5 lb of a 20% crude protein supplement will only provide the cow with about 13 lb of TDN per day. Once lactation occurs a 1200 lb cow will need about 15-16 lb of TDN. If enough residue still exits for the cows to consume 27-28 lb per day, then supplementing with approximately 5 lb (as is basis) of dried distillers grains could provide the needed 15 lb of TDN.\nUsing the residue field simply as a feeding area, a producer could feed approximately 28 lb of alfalfa hay (about 58% TDN, 18% CP) and 3 lb of corn on an as is basis and provide 15 lb of TDN as well.\nKnowing the amount of residue available is important. Also, producers need to keep in mind that once the cows start selecting the highest quality residue, the TDN available decreases. The best quality residue is the husks and leaves and what residual corn the cows can find. The stalks are poorer quality (only about 35% TDN) and are not selected by the cattle until the more desirable parts are gone.\nThere is a very helpful formula to help producers estimate how long a field should be grazed. There are about 16 lb of good quality residue dry matter produced for each bushel of grain produced. Only about half of that is available to the animal because it gets trampled, soiled, or blows away. So if a field produced 200 bushels of corn per acre, then there is about 1600 lb of good quality residue on a dry matter basis available per acre (200*8). If the 1200 lb lactating cow and her new calf are going to need about 29 lb of dry matter per day, then one acre should last them approximately 55 days. This is an estimate for stocking guidelines and can be impacted by weather, size of the cow, age of the calf, and other factors.\nCornstalk residue utilization is a great way for producers to integrate crops and livestock. Maintaining cows on residue can be an economical choice, but additional feed costs will be necessary when calving on residues and lactation increases the energy demands of the cow.\nFor more information on meeting the nutritional needs of the cow see NebGuide G2268 Supplementation Needs for Gestating and Lactating Beef Cows and Comparing the Prices of Supplement Sources (PDF version, 976KB) or visit the Cow-calf, Bull and Heifer Nutrition and Management page.\nKarla H.

{"text": "In 1977, famed computer scientist Donald Knuth decided he didn’t like the typesetting of the second edition of The Art of Computer Programming. Rather than unhappily accept the results of photographic typesetting techniques, Knuth invented his own digital typesetting solution, TeX, which would eventually become the standard typesetting system for mathematical and academic content. Wikipedia displays math content using a variant of TeX, and research papers from a large range of fields are very commonly submitted in TeX format.\nOur team recently added the ability to understand TeX notation and convert it to the Mathematica form used by the powerful Wolfram|Alpha engine. We’ve received many requests for this functionality from people who use Wolfram|Alpha for advanced math and physics. It’s often easy and natural to write mathematics using TeX, whereas it can otherwise be quite difficult to express clearly in plaintext notation.\nThe beauty of this new capability is that one can now see, compute, and understand typeset mathematics all through the union of TeX notation and Wolfram|Alpha computation. Complicated expressions are now easily represented using the elegance of TeX: More »\nRenowned physicist Enrico Fermi’s name is synonymous with a type of estimation problem often illustrated by the classic question, “How many piano tuners are there in Chicago?” Finding a “Fermi estimate” of this number would typically involve multiplying a series of rough estimates, such as the population of Chicago, an approximate number of households owning pianos, the frequency with which a typical piano might be tuned, and so on. It’s unlikely that anyone would arrive at a precise, correct answer through this method, but a Fermi estimate should at least be able to generate an answer that is approximately the right order of magnitude.\nA Fermi estimate usually seeks to measure a quantity that would be extremely difficult, if not impossible, to actually measure. “Piano tuners in Chicago” may have fallen into that category several decades ago, but as Wolfram|Alpha can now demonstrate, things have changed:\nWe recently overhauled our data on jobs and salaries in the United States, adding Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) data on more than 800 detailed occupations at the national, state, and metropolitan area levels. Which means Wolfram|Alpha can’t quite get you to an exact measurement of the number of piano tuners in Chicago (and presumably, many of them must at least dabble in other instruments), but it can come surprisingly close.\nWolfram|Alpha can also compute a number of interesting statistics that aren’t obvious from the source data, such as the fact that Chicago has quite a high density of musical instrument tuners and repairers—roughly 2.3 times the national average workforce fraction for this occupation—and that their median wage is roughly 1.3 times the national average. And it can also provide helpful context for any occupation, computing employment and wage information for related jobs and sub-specialties, according to BLS classifications.\nYou can also perform all kinds of interesting comparisons, of course: try asking Wolfram|Alpha to “compare producers and actors employment in California”, for example, or “garbage collectors vs waiters salaries in New York City”. Or if you’re contemplating a cross-country move, you might be interested to see a comparison between “computer programmers salaries in Seattle vs Philadelphia”.\nAnd if you need to access salary and job-related data often, you can create your own Wolfram|Alpha Widgets tailored for specific jobs and regions. You can easily customize widgets, like the one below, and embed them in your website and share with your social networks.\nSecrets can be so hard to keep—especially when your loyal users are anxiously awaiting news of a new app for a certain mobile platform! Today we’re excited to share with you that the Wolfram|Alpha App for Android will be available on October 6, 2010. We’re also pleased to announce that we’re teaming up with T-Mobile to launch the Wolfram|Alpha App for Android for the new T-Mobile® G2™ with Google™!\nThe Wolfram|Alpha App for Android delivers the full power of the Wolfram|Alpha computational knowledge engine, providing you with a massive knowledge base of factual information in the palm of your hand.

The summit brought together key people responsible for the world’s great data repositories to exchange ideas, learn from each others’ experiences, and develop innovative data management strategies for the future.\nThe summit officially opened with a keynote address from Stephen Wolfram, Wolfram Research CEO and creator of Wolfram|Alpha. In his talk, Stephen discussed the complex nature of gathering systematic knowledge and data, explained how Mathematica helps with the challenges of making all data computable, and hinted at some new technologies you can expect from us in the near future.

If it is winter, or if you live in the north, the Sun is lower and stays closer to the southern horizon. While the time of year and the location have similar effects, they act independently on the overall path. The Sun’s path is unique for your place and time.\nYou can see the sunpath today at your location; the default is the perspective of looking toward the southern horizon.\nThe autumnal equinox is tonight (in North America), but in Pyramid Point (a place close to the equator in the Pacific), the equinox will occur Thursday, close to noon, when the Sun will be almost overhead.

But another part was spent figuring out how to present the science in the best possible way—using words and pictures.\nIt took a lot of technology to do that presentation. On the software side, the biggest part was using Mathematica to create elaborate algorithmic diagrams—thousands of them. But then came the question of how to actually deliver everything. And back in 2002 when A New Kind of Science was published, the only real possibility was to print a book on paper, using the very best printing technology of the time.\nThe actual print production process was quite an adventure—going right to the edge of what was possible. But in the end we got many compliments on the object we produced. And from that time to this, that 5.5 lb (2.5 kg) lump of paper has been the definitive representation of my decade-plus of intellectual work.\nBut today I’m excited to be able to say that there’s something new and in some ways even better: a full version on the iPad.\nRecently, as students head back to school, we’ve written quite a bit about Wolfram|Alpha’s mathematics capabilities. But those of you who don’t have quite as much interest in, say, transfinite cardinal arithmetic, can rest assured that we haven’t stopped adding more general pop culture data to the system.\nOne of our latest features is detailed U.S. box office data, with information on total, weekend, and in many cases even daily receipts for motion pictures. So if you want to see how a recently released film is doing in theaters, just ask about its box office totals. For example, try “eat pray love box office“. Or maybe you’d like to look back and compare some of the summer’s biggest blockbusters. Try “box office for iron man 2, toy story 3, inception” for a quick comparison; to make it even easier to compare several films released on different dates, click the “Show by weeks since release” button to align the movies’ start dates. In this case, it’s easy to see that although Iron Man 2 had the strongest opening of the three, its revenue also fell off more steeply in the following weeks.\nYou’re not limited to films released this summer, of course—if you’re a fan of director Christopher Nolan’s work, you might like to see how well Inception compares to his previous directorial effort, The Dark Knight. Or maybe you’d like to compare two other cinematic heavy-hitters to see which one held the #1 box office rank longer.

But you may not have noticed that Wolfram|Alpha is now picking up these Department of Commerce reports as soon as they are released, and allows you to explore and compute U.S. retail sales data so you can better understand these trends.\nTry simply asking Wolfram|Alpha about “U.S. retail sales” and you’ll see the latest monthly figure, along with automatic computations of that number as a per capita value and as a fraction of total U.S. GDP, as well as the annual growth rate for overall retail sales. To filter out the seasonal variation in many sales categories, you can also ask for “seasonally adjusted retail sales“—which more clearly shows the retail sector’s dramatic plunge in late 2008.\nYou can also explore trends in individual retail categories (click “More” in the “Retail sales categories” pod for a detailed list), such as clothing stores or electronic shopping and mail order houses.\nOr you can mash up this retail sales data with other economic data in Wolfram|Alpha. Try comparing retail sales at building-supply dealers with housing starts, for example, or retail sales at jewelry stores compared with civilian unemployment. (Note that advance figures for August aren’t available for all individual retail categories, so Wolfram|Alpha will default to the latest available values.)

For this reason, Aristotle sought to banish it from his physics, claiming that there were no actual infinities in nature—only potential infinities. Over a millennium later, medieval scholars offered the following example when asked why infinity was forbidden.\nImagine two concentric circles. Each circle contains infinitely many points along its circumference, but since the outer circle has a greater circumference, it has more points than the inner circle. Now take any point A on the outer circle, and draw a line from A to the circle’s center. This line must intersect some point B on the circumference of the inner circle. Hence, for every point A on the outer circle, there is a corresponding point B on the inner circle, and vice versa. Therefore, both circles must have the same number of points, despite the fact that the outer circle appears to have more points than the inner circle.

{"text": "Getting older is a natural human process, but it doesn’t have to be unpleasant. Keep reading for tips on how to slow the effects of aging on your body (and mind).\nOur skin is the largest organin our body, yet it doesn’t always get the attention it deserves. Dry skin may be a sign that your body is in need of something more than a face mask—in fact, simply drinking water is one of the most effective forms of care you can give to your skin. With our bodies being made up of 50-65% water, it’s only logical that water keeps us functioning.\nThe standard recommendation is to drink eight glasses of water per day, which can seem daunting. If you find yourself constantly feeling dehydrated, try making it a habit to carry a bottle of water with you everywhere you go and sip consistently. If you’re thirsty, drink some water before opting for an iced coffee. Drinking water on a regular basis can help to replenish and increase the elasticity of the skin, which can lead to brighter skin and fewer wrinkles down the road.\nSimilar to how water should be consumed on a slow and steadybasis rather than all at once, consider eating several small meals throughout the day, rather than a few big ones. When you eat, your body produces insulin which should be happening at a steady pace rather than a few big spikes throughout the day.\nIf you find yourself suddenly feeling really hungry between meals, you might want to consider breaking your three meals into six, or possibly even intermittent fasting, which means having an eight-hour window of eating, and a 16-hour food-free window (water is allowed!). This can help to boost your metabolism and prevent insulin spikes and cellular harm, which can lead to the development of diseases such as diabetes and vascular diseases.\nIt’s important to keep quality andquantity in mind, no matter how you choose to schedule your meals. A healthy diet with minimal processed foods and sugars can aid in weight loss for the near future, and disease prevention for the long run.\nAches and pains don’t need to be a normal part of life. Regular exercise doesn’t have to mean going to the gym every day, but it does mean making a conscious effort to move your body, especially if you have a job which requires a lot of sitting. Author Bernard Duvivier, M.D., Ph.D, recommends replacing at least two hours per day of sitting time with standing and moving around whenever possible—going for a walk at lunch, standing up for a phone call, or working at a standing desk, for example.\nA study at the University of Birmingham showed that older people who had exercised throughout most of their lives had similar muscle mass, cholesterol levels, and immune system function of much younger populations. Exercising can also provide mental benefits, such as reduced depression and anxiety and increased overall cognitive function.\nAnother benefit of exercise is stress reduction, which is essential to aging well. Chronic stress can be hard on your mind, but it’s also hard on your body—it literally shortens the length of your DNA strands, which is a cause of many chronic diseases and premature deaths.\nDepending on your preferences and lifestyle, you may find yourself relaxing through yoga or meditation, socializing, spending time on a hobby, or being outdoors. No matter what you prefer, you should always be making sure you get enough sleep and spend time on self-care; seeking professional mental help can also reduce chronic stress, which will be sure to benefit you in the long run.", "label": "No"}

{"text": "Gentleness, which can be defined as a mildness of manners or disposition, is often lacking in our modern world. It is a trait we all should cultivate, but it should not be confused with weakness or a lack of resolve.\nOurs is an age too often marked by hostility, malice and cutthroat competition, rather than compassion and reasonableness.\n‘Gentleness’ is a manifestation of God’s Spirit (Galatians 5:22) and consists in kindness, consideration and amiability in our reactions towards others. The Greek word for gentleness is epieikes, and can be translated as “graciousness,” “courtesy” or “moderation.”\nThe example of Elijah shows godly gentleness doesn’t come naturally. As a prophet of God he boldly denounced sin, seeming to fear no one. On one occasion he called fire down from heaven in a magnificent display of his (and God’s) disapproval of lawlessness. He then proceeded to lead a band of men to execute hundreds of pagan prophets who were devotees of the wicked Queen Jezebel and engaging in human sacrifice (1 Kings 18:36-40).\nWhen Jezebel heard about Elijah slaughtering the heathen priests, she ordered his arrest and execution. As a result of this threat the normally resolute man of God flees for his life and, after 40 days on the run, finds himself at Mount Horeb (Sinai) where he seeks refuge in a cave (1 Kings 19:1-8).\nGod asks Elijah why he fled, and Elijah bitterly replies that although he was “very zealous” for the truth, his only reward was the threat of a death sentence (1 Kings 19:9-10).\nGod then reveals His power to Elijah in three different ways. Firstly, a fierce wind rips boulders loose from the mountain. Then a mighty quake shakes the land, and thirdly a fire suddenly flares. After this display of His power, God then speaks to Elijah in a “still small voice,” showing him, as the Expositor’s Bible Commentary notes: “Even God does not always operate in the realm of the spectacular!” (Vol. 4, p. 150).\nGod apparently wanted to teach Elijah there is a time to act strongly and loudly, but other times call for a gentler approach and Elijah needed to trust God, even though his life had been threatened and it appeared God was not intervening.\nThe disciples of Jesus Christ learned this same lesson. Like Elijah, they mistakenly thought ferocity was the ideal behaviour for a servant of God and, as He had with Elijah, God intervened through Jesus Christ to show them they were wrong.\nWhen the disciples were traveling to Jerusalem, they tried to find lodging in a Samaritan city, but the Samaritans refused to allow Jews to enter (Luke 9:51-53). Because they felt snubbed, James and John wanted to duplicate Elijah’s miracle of destruction by fire. But Jesus “... turned and rebuked them,” letting them know their attitude was not right because the “Son of Man did not come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them” (Luke 9:54-56).\nWhen treated unfairly or unkindly it is very easy to react in the same way, adversely affecting relationships and setting the wrong example as a Christian. In what is referred to as the Sermon on the Mount Jesus tells us: “Blessed are the poor in spirit . . . Blessed are the meek . . . Blessed are the merciful . . . Blessed are the pure in heart . . . Blessed are the peacemakers” (Matthew 5:1-9).\nThe Apostle Paul, formerly the violent and persecuting Saul of Tarsus, also eventually learned the gentleness of God, just as Elijah did, and he exhorts Christians to “Let your gentleness be known to all men” (Philippians 4:5).\nThe Good News magazine", "label": "No"}

Using the ecological context of describing rangelands as grasslands, desert lands, shrub lands, and a sizeable portion of forestlands (open canopy communities and transitory communities); rangelands cover about 80% of the land area of the earth. Now that is a lot of land!\nRangelands supply food, fiber, fuel, shelter, minerals, energy, aesthetics, recreation, and water to support the human society. Many modern features of society such as cities, freeways and highways, canals, airports, shopping centers and malls, etc. exist on what was once rangeland. Rangelands are the home to a vast array of plant and animal forms. Food, water, and habitat are supplied to this diverse assemblage of life forms. One of the chief products from rangelands is the forage supplied and habitat provided for domestic livestock and wildlife creatures. Many of these animals are herbivores that feed on the rangeland plant tissue to produce meat, milk, fur, and hide. Many others give enjoyment to humans by their presence on the world's vast area of rangelands. Many are the food sources for omnivore and carnivore animals. All are important parts of the rangeland ecosystem. Rangelands also represent the largest watersheds on the earth, many in the arid landscapes found across the earth.\nSo RANGELANDS are important, as they are THE major land base of the world!\nStudents in our program receive a rigorous education with emphases in resource conservation, management, wildland soil and rangeland ecology, rangeland inventory, and the restoration of wildland ecosystems. You focus your education taking advanced coursework in either rangeland resources or wildland soils.\nWe are located in the perfect place to gain hands-on experience managing both rangelands and wildland soils. Private ranches and state and federal lands, just minutes from campus, provide you with countless opportunities to gain the kind of experience employers are looking for.\nOur students are in high demand, right from day one. Our graduates qualify for several federal job series (Rangeland Management Specialist and Soil Conservationist or Scientist for example) and have a wide range of jobs to choose from - both in the public and private sectors. Over the next ten year careers in soil and plant sciences are estimated to increase 35% in California.\nThe following presentation titled Status and Demand for Soil Science Undergraduate Programs (PDF) was prepared by Department faculty.\nDownload \"A Career in Rangeland Management\" brochure\nLearn more about rangelands by visiting rangelands.org", "label": "No"}
{"text": "Add a Comment (Go Up to OJB's Blog Page)\nEntry 1379, on 2012-04-20 at 21:46:01 (Rating 2, Comments)\nIf I gave you a piece of paper and asked you to fold it in half, then half again (so that it was then four layers thick), then again, and again, how many times would you need to fold it before it was so thick that it would reach most of the way to the Sun (100 million kilometers)?\nMost people are surprised to hear that the answer is 50. In fact I have seen at least one person try it. She was convinced she could fold the paper 50 times and prove me wrong but only got to about 5 folds (because it got too awkward and the paper wasn't big enough, but you should ignore these practical difficulties for this thought experiment.)\nLet's think about it. Say the paper is 1 mm thick (I know that's quite thick for paper but it makes the maths simple and doesn't really change the end result). After the first fold the paper is 2 mm thick, then 4, then 8, 16, 32, etc.\nSo after 5 folds the paper is over 3 cm thick. What about after another 5? After a total of 10 folds it is over 1 meter thick. After 15 it is 32 meters thick, after 20 over 1 kilometer, after 30 over 1000 kilometers, after 40 over a million, and by the time the 50th fold is completed over a billion (that's more than I said earlier because my paper started off too thick but you can see that it works in principle). That is the power of a geometric progression.\nHow many more folds would you need to make to double the thickness (from 1 billion to 2 billion kilometers). Some people say another 50 folds, but anyone who is paying attention will know the answer is 1. Just one more fold makes the paper a billion kilometers thicker because each fold doubles the previous thickness.\nAgain I must emphasise this is a thought experiment and obviously cannot be done in practice. Or can it? What about something similar involving self-replicating nano-machines?\nPeople find this effect counter-intuitive because they tend to think linearly rather than geometrically. The expect things to increase smoothly rather than to accelerate suddenly.\nHere's another example of something counter-intuitive: take a pack of cards and shuffle it (randomly) then look at the result. How likely is it that the particular order of those cards has ever existed before anywhere and at any time in the entire history of the world? There are only 52 cards so surely it is very likely that the result has occurred before, isn't it?\nWell no, it's almost 100% certain that the card order you have just created is totally unique and has never existed before. The cards in a standard deck of cards can be arranged approximately 80 million trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion different ways!\nThe first card could be any one of 52 so there are 52 possibilities. The second can be chosen from any one of the 51 remaining, etc. So the total possibilities are 52 x 51 x 50 etc. Do the calculation and see that it gets big quickly!\nThe deck we use today was invented in 1480, about 530 years ago. If every person in the world (let's average that out at 5 billion) shuffled a new deck every second for all that time (about 17 billion seconds) they would still only deal 85 million trillion combinations. That is only 1 billion trillion trillion trillionths of one per cent of the total possibilities!\nAnd you can now take a card from any place in the deck and put it somewhere else. That is (almost certainly) another totally unique combination.\nPeople find this counter-intuitive because they don't understand statistical and probabilistic concepts.\nHere's another piece of weirdness which seems trivial but maybe isn't. The phrase \"eleven plus two\" is an anagram of \"twelve plus one\". Coincidence? Most people would think so in this case because there is no political, religious, or social reason to think otherwise. But similar coincidences can often be misinterpreted as being far more meaningful when the person involved has a motive to see things that way.\nPeople aren't good at accepting that sometimes there is no deeper reason for something and no pattern even when it looks like there is.\nSo what I'm trying to say here is that most people aren't good at analysing facts and coming to a valid conclusion. They aren't good at estimating the answer to numeric problems. They aren't good at establishing the probability of a particular outcome. And they aren't good at figuring out what is a real effect and what is just \"noise\".\nIt's no wonder such a large proportion of the population believe in so many wacky things like UFO encounters, psychics, gods, ghosts, lake monsters, and a bunch of other stuff. And it's no wonder they have trouble accepting scientific facts which are based on unintuitive processes such as evolution, the big bang, climate change, quantum theory, and relativity.\nBut those are just the obvious outcomes of this human failing. People rely on their intuition which is the result of a million years of evolution in a simple natural environment. It works well in most situations but utterly fails when trying to understand deeper meaning. The more concerning issue is that our political and economic systems assume people make good decisions. They don't.\nThe facts above came from another thread on Quora called \"What are some of the most mind-blowing facts?\" (for a similar thread see my pervious blog post.) The link for the Quora discussion thread with these and many more weird facts is here.\nComment 1 (3012) by Anonymous on 2012-04-21 at 16:00:25:\nYou make a big leap of logic going from some mathematical puzzles to a sort of political comment. What is that all about?\nComment 2 (3013) by RobDog on 2012-04-22 at 08:32:30:\nA data transfer rate of 1587GB in about 3 seconds? Now that's something you should write about. In retrospect, I'd be happy with a tenth of a milliejac.\nComment 3 (3014) by OJB on 2012-04-22 at 14:11:43:\nThere are a few issues though: the data can only be transferred short distances, the operation requires a significant time interval between transfers, the receiver can often cause difficulties, once one receiver is selected it is difficult to perform data transfers to others, the data transfer protocol between sender and receiver can be highly problematic. You know, this is just too easy!\nComment 4 (3015) by Rdog on 2012-04-22 at 22:11:51:\nEasy yes, but you can't tell me it wasn't fun.\nI had more written, commenting in a more serious way about the above, but then after rereading it I thought \"this doesn't make sense to me and I wrote it\". If only more people exercised the delete key.\nComment 5 (3016) by OJB on 2012-04-23 at 14:37:34:\nHere's my rule: if you are writing something which you are unsure of (maybe you think it might be too controversial, based on unsubstantiated opinion, etc) just leave it for an hour then go back and re-read it. It's amazing how often you might then want to use the delete key, that key which is underutilised by so many.\nRemember: \"Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding.\" (Proverbs 17:28), or a more contemporary version: \"It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open one’s mouth and remove all doubt.\"\nYou can leave comments about this entry using this form.\nTo add a comment: enter a name and email (both optional), type the number shown above, enter a comment, then click Add.\nNote that you can leave the name blank if you want to remain anonymous.\nEnter your email address to receive notifications of replies and updates to this entry.\nThe comment should appear immediately because the authorisation system is currently inactive.", "label": "No"}

{"text": "What You Need to Know About : Grounded Theory\nGrounded theory (GT) is a qualitative research methodology commonly employed by scholars to analyze communication processes and content, often for the development of interpretive theories. As a methodology, GT is more than a method or set of methods for collecting or analyzing data. Instead, GT is an approach to social research that specifies an emergent rather than predetermined research design through an atypical sequence of activities for building and developing theory; it is an approach that arguably runs counter to traditional notions of scientific method as developed initially in what is referred to as the natural sciences. Distinguishing characteristics of GT include delay of the literature review, simultaneous collection and analysis of data, emic construction of analytic codes and categories from data (vs. etic or a priori application of previous theory), development of midrange theories (vs. universal laws) to explain communication behavior and processes, the composition of theoretical memos to define analytic categories, and sampling procedures inspired more by a concern for theory construction than for representativeness.\nLittlejohn, Stephen W and Karen A.Floss.

But that is not so in practice in the United States where they are generally payable to bearer, but sometimes they are payable to order.\nChecks are negotiable instruments, as bills of exchange; though, strictly speaking, they are due before payment has been demanded, in which respect they differ from promissory notes and bills of exchange payable on a particular day.\nThe differences between a common check and a bill of exchange are; First, that a check may be taken after it is overdue and still the holder is not subject to the equities wbich may exist between the drawer and the party from whom he receives it; in the case of bills of exchange, the holder is subject to such equity. Secondly, the drawer of a bill of exchange is liable only on the condition that it be presented in due time, and if it be dishonored, that he has had notice; but such is not the case with a check. No delay will excuse the drawer of it, unless he has suffered some loss or injury on that account and then only pro tanto.\nThere is a kind of check known by the name of memorandum checks; these are given in general with an understanding that they are not to be presented at the bank on which they are drawn for payment; and, as between the parties, they have no other effect than an IOU or common due bill; but third persons who become the holders of them for a valuable consideration, without notice have all the rights which the holders of ordinary cheeks can lawfully claim.\nGiving a creditor a check on a bank does not constitute payment of a debt. But a tender was held good when made by a check contained in a letter, requesting a receipt in return, which the plaintiff sent back, demanding a larger sum without objecting to the nature of the tender.\nA check delivered by a testator in his lifetime to a person as a gift and not presented till after his death, was considered as a part of his will and allowed to be proved as such.", "label": "No"}

{"text": "THE CULTURAL HISTORY OF RADIO HORRORS\nParadoxically, there is one realm where crime does pay. That is in radio. Throughout the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s, dozens of radio actors committed crimes almost every day of the week—and made a living from it. But, through the blackmail, torture, murder, stealing and burning, they were always within the law.\nThis went on for about 20 years, long before the blood-curdling Shadow broadcasts started the transmission-borne cops-and-robbers cycle with shocking mad scientists and diabolical geniuses. Neither criminal nor crime-cracker, Raymond Edward Johnson played host on Inner Sanctum Mystery, and it was his business to scare the daylights out of listeners with such interlocutory tidbits as, “Can you stand another knifing?” or, “Did that make your blood curdle?” Scaring paid well, too.\nWhere the Inner Sanctum movies borrowed from the radio program, other radio crime-mystery programs such as The Adventures of the Thin Man borrowed from the movies, as was the case with the William Powell-Myrna Loy M-G-M series. Demonstrating that there was almost an unlimited scope for crime on the air, that Dashiell Hammett creation enjoyed almost instant popularity. The Thin Man broadcasts, like others, were strewn with make-believe lawbreakers working at AFRA rates, or higher. The National Broadcasting Company did censor their programs. In part of one season, The Thin Man dramas were forbidden to feature any dead bodies until the air-time got moved ahead, to keep the young kiddies from being exposed to the dramatics of murder and death.\nThe “take” for 12 leading network mystery programs amounted to a juicy $400,000 weekly. And the crime profiteers included writers, actors, musicians and directors by the dozen. I Love a Mystery, for example, during the year of 1942, cost $2,400 weekly (and that’s just two 15-minute broadcasts!).\nIt wasn’t very long after Inner Sanctum Mystery was introduced that other psychological thrillers began popping up via the airwaves. Examples include the launch of Dark Venture over the ABC network in February 1946. It arrived with little advance publicity, was an overnight success and, according to one critic, had “little trouble in taking its place with the top crime sagas” (New York Times, February 1946). The first episode, “Boiling Point,” was a thriller by Larry Marcus. It told of Mr. Pitts, a timid little English clerk, who for years had been forced to crawl under packing cases in the warehouse to afford amusement for his boss. Finally, Mr. Pitts rebelled at the humiliation. Training a gun on his boss, he forced his superior to crawl under the cases. When the boss was merely injured by falling cases, Mr. Pitts drove him around the countryside until life drained from his body.\nCritics were concerned about the influence such programs might have on the younger members of the audience. In April 1946 Judge Jacob Panken of the New York City Children’s Court wrote a short essay about his observations:\n“Radio has become a factor of and a part of the environment in which we live. Children will listen to programs that are good, and are healthy. Programs interestingly depicting anti-social conduct, crime, murder influence children to anti-social attitudes and lead to aggression. I don’t want to theorize, I want you to share some of my experiences. A boy, 15, was in court for the fifth time. This time because he stole an automobile. Other offenses were burglary, hold-up [sic] and use of a home-made gun to force another child to give up a few pennies he had. I asked the boy, ‘What kind of programs do you listen to?’ His answer was ‘Gangbusters, Ellery Queen, Inner Sanctum, The Lone Ranger, Bulldog Drummond, The Shadow.’\n“Not all children are influenced by such programs. But no child escapes a trauma. They disturb and excite and the result is maladjustment. Psychiatrists and psychologists know the frightful effect that excitement, emotional disturbance and maladjustments have upon the psychologic state of the mind of children.\n“Every program ends with crime does not pay, but by the time the child reaches that point, the excitement, the emotional upset is so overpowering that the gratuitous statement that crime does not pay is not heard and if it is heard, it does not register.”\nSo a code of ethics was established to help “curb” the situation regarding influential crime dramas. One of the earliest attempts began in the spring 1939, when the National Association of Broadcasters, which represented about 400 radio stations throughout the country, started work on a code for its members. The purpose was twofold: primarily, to set up uniform rules of self-regulation for broadcasters in program policies; secondarily, to jump the gun on the Federal Communications Commission by establishing a form of voluntary censorship within the industry. Although the FCC had no actual authority to censor radio, its power to withhold licenses (without which no radio station could broadcast) was a Damoclean sword that had given numerous broadcasters the jitters. *\n* The N.A.B. was formed April 25, 1923, and is, thus, even older than the major networks: NBC (established November 1, 1926) and CBS (established September 18, 1927).\nHiman Brown, director of Inner Sanctum Mystery, was not immune to the type of censorship established on radio programs, especially when it came to Brown’s methods of killing people. “The problem,” Brown told author Jim Harmon, “was not to reveal actual murder methods with such clarity and definition as to give the listener a good idea of how to erase someone he could do without, or even a half-complete knowledge of a known and effective method of killing with only a small chance of being caught.”\nStill, in July 1939, with its voluntary code completed and ready to be voted on, the N.A.B. met at the Ambassador Hotel in Atlantic City for its 17th annual convention. Prior to balloting, two things happened. First, as a protest against the stringency of the code, a number of delegates walked out of the meeting. Second, Stephen Early, secretary to President Roosevelt, assured N.A.B. members that, in his opinion, the talk of government censorship was a “boogieman [sic].”\nHe added, “So long as radio serves democracy, it will remain free.” Nevertheless, a sufficient number of N.A.B. members—172—held to the view that balloting on self-censorship was clearly desirable. By 148 to 24 they held to the further view that the code should be adopted.\nSo on July 11 was set up a group of regulations that would affect programs in a variety of ways as soon as two details were settled: machinery to enforce the N.A.B. code and the date on which it was to go into operation. On July 12, moreover, N.A.B. members unanimously adopted a code of standards under which advertisements of no fewer than 13 types of products and services were to be banned from the airwaves. Prohibited were ads for hard liquors, medical cure-alls, fortune-telling (handwriting analysis, numerology, astrology etc.), racetrack tips, matrimonial ads and “dope” on financial speculations.\nIn the field of programs proper, as distinguished from advertised products and services, the N.A.B. code covered five broad departments, one of which was Children’s Programs, which “must not contain sequences involving horror or torture … or any other matter which might reasonably be regarded as likely to over-stimulate the child listener.”\nSpeaking of horror … U.S. radio, which, to the despair of many parents, churches and civic groups, fired at least 80 programs of horror and bloodcurdling adventure at its listeners every week, really massed its guns on Sunday. According to the November 6, 1950 issue of Life Magazine, into five hours of that evening, three networks packed nine mystery shows. As time went on, censorship became more lenient. For example, Inner Sanctum had just celebrated its seventh full year on the air. The Shadow fairly growled with menace, as a mad doctor killed a woman, hid her corpse in a closet and then prepared to operate on a girl just for the fun of it. (The protagonist ran upstairs, tossed a man out a window and later decided to jump himself.) In True Detective, an “offended elephant” that had been fed plug tobacco got revenge by putting the finger (or trunk) on its tormentor, a woman-slayer. In House of Mystery, a “haunted violin” killed a gypsy. Later, a cat sniffed the bow and died, revealing that the bow’s resin emitted a poison gas. In Sherlock Holmes, a dog howled for its dead mistress, as the woman’s brother concealed her body; the solution involved a grisly exchange of corpses. In Sam Spade, a society reporter was pushed out a window. In Nick Carter, the infallible Carter captured a woman fence who had slain a policeman. The Man Called X traced a band of gun thieves to Nigeria; the natives blew them up by firing flaming arrows into their grenades. Total carnage for the night: at least a dozen violent deaths, with victims being stabbed, poisoned, shot, blown up and thrown out of windows, plus one exceptionally messy suicide.\nThis wasn’t much of a change since 1943 when Bulldog Drummond, The Shadow, Murder Clinic, The Green Hornet, Crime Doctor and Inner Sanctum were just six of the mysteries heard over a four-hour time-slot on Sunday evening. In spite of a code of ethics, some shows still managed to get in a stomachful of horror. The Shadow featured an episode in which two grave robbers employed such useful instruments as a vise and blowtorch to mutilate and kill their partner. But even during the late 1940s, radio set limits to the kinds of murder that could be committed, a fact that might have surprised listeners, if they’d even knew about it. A year earlier, in 1947, the N.A.B. had revised its code of ethics and forbade the following:\n1. Excessive horror in slaying.\n2. Kidnapping or beating of children.\n3. Third-degree methods by the police.\nIn April of 1947, under the headline “Murder Is Not for Kids,” Station KFI in Los Angeles took a full-page ad in a trade publication, to announce a realignment of programs. Under a typically surrealist “horror” picture of bats, black widow spiders, skulls, a gallows and smoking pistols, the management of KFI had this to say: “Murder and mystery shows provide thrilling entertainment for adults, but are not the type of program best suited for the youngsters. That’s why we have gone to quite some trouble to rearrange our programming so that all of out ‘who-done-it’ shows are released after 9 o’clock at night. That way the adults can enjoy well-written, exciting mystery dramas, and the kids don’t have to hear them.”\nIronically, institutions, clubs, magazines and well-established societies recognized these crime thrillers and horror dramas. Every year they awarded these programs their highest medals of merit. A group of writers chosen in a nationwide ballot of mystery authors for outstanding work in six fields of detective story telling received “Edgars” at annual Edgar Allan Poe Awards dinners held in New York and Hollywood. The tokens, small porcelain busts of Poe, were the mystery writers’ counterpart of the motion picture industry’s “Oscars.” John Dickson Carr, then-president of the Mystery Writers of America (previously a script writer for the first season of radio’s Suspense, in 1942-43), announced the recipients’ names annually reminding those in the radio industry that crime does reap rewards.\nMartin Grams, Jr. is the author and co-author of numerous books including The I Love A Mystery Companion, The Sound of Detection: Ellery Queen’s Adventures in Radio, Inner Sanctum Mysteries: Behind the Creaking Door and Gang Busters: The Crime Fighters of American Broadcasting.", "label": "No"}
{"text": "David Gore, University of Minnesota Duluth\nAttitudes toward the pecuniary are peculiar. One reason we misunderstand money is because it defines and answers to both our animal nature (necessity) and our symbolic nature (property). In this paper I trace the genealogy of Kenneth Burke’s attitudes toward money in the “Epilogue: Prologue in Heaven” to show how Burke’s logological approach toward money is original and in tension with claims offered by competing, economic attitudes toward money. Money sits forever at the nexus of our animal and symbolic nature because it simultaneously holds the place of value and signifies what we value. By stressing animal limits and symbolic infinity, Burke invites us to ponder the extent of human cooperation and the boundaries of human strivings. As attitudes, these invitations reveal that Burke wanted to re-appropriate the money symbol to the realm of logology and religion – away from capitalism – to exhibit the potential justice at the heart of human experience. That justice, however, only inheres so long as the tension between animal and symbol is respected in our pursuit of needs through symbolic action. Burke strings the tension between animal and symbol along the lines of a conversation between The Lord and Satan. Along the way he shows us a Lord sympathetic to our money crimes as well as all others and a loyal opposition that laughs at our infirmities. In this way Burke works to redeem human commerce from its worst propensities by showing its relationship to the Word.\nAttitudes Towards Money\nATTITUDES TOWARD THE PECUNIARY ARE PECULIAR. Both pecuniary and peculiar, according to the OED, share a common etymology in the Latin word for money, even earlier the word for property, and even earlier the Latin word for a flock or herd of farm animals. “Pecuniary” and “peculiar” tell us what belongs to a person and what characterizes them as distinct from others. How happy Kenneth Burke would be to observe again the symbolic origins of money and human character in animality, specifically the domestication and possession of animals by other animals. Who could imagine a greater number of perspectives from which to understand attitudes toward money together with all the ambiguities of possession, ownership and commerce? Originating from a shepherd’s love for his sheep, money and commerce can hardly be only or always crass. And yet our attitudes toward money are rarely understood with sufficient irony so as to appreciate the damning and redeeming qualities of the money symbol. One reason we misunderstand money is because it answers to and shapes both our animal nature (necessity) and our symbolic nature (property). Money helps provide for the creature in all of us as well as creature comforts, leading to great murkiness about what we need, what we want, and what we value. In this paper I trace the genealogy of Kenneth Burke’s attitudes toward money in the “Epilogue: Prologue in Heaven” to show how his logological approach toward money is original and in tension with claims offered by alternative, economic attitudes toward money. Burke’s attitudes toward money update classical ideas of political economy to suggest avenues for capitalism to avoid its worst propensities and potentialities.\nWhat are the attitudes toward money in Burke’s “Epilogue: Prologue in Heaven”? What are plausible sources for some of these attitudes? How is it that we share symbols and compete for them? As part of Burke’s larger object of criticizing criticism, he blends long-held attitudes toward money by treating money as a universal symbol of human aspirations and a particular symbol of human limitations. Money sits forever at the nexus of our animal and spiritual nature because it simultaneously holds the place of value and signifies what we value. By stressing animal limits and symbolic infinity, Burke invites us to ponder the extent of human cooperation and the boundaries of human strivings. By attending to our animal nature, human economies can better respect sheer scale and at the same time avoid a love of money for its own sake. By attending to our spiritual capacity to see beyond our animal natures we can better contain money as a means toward human flourishing rather than mistake it as a transcendent end. Burke’s attitudes in the “Epilogue: Prologue in Heaven,” which appears as a beginning at the end of Burke’s book, The Rhetoric of Religion, functions as a longing to rebalance inequality by rescuing money from the logic of its own reproduction. The longing to resolve inequality comes together with a mature appreciation that such rebalancing tactics are limited and prone to inducing further inequalities. These attitudes toward money are ironic and the irony is the means of re-appropriating the money symbol to the realm of logology and religion – away from capitalism.\nThose familiar with Burke’s ideas know that plausible springboards for them are Aristotle, the New Testament, and Karl Marx. This genealogy of Burke’s attitudes toward money is wonderfully knotty and allows for considerable perspective by incongruity wherein Aristotle and the Gospels lay the groundwork for Karl Marx and Marx in turn agrees with, even adopts some of Jesus’ attitudes toward the pecuniary. As such, the dialogue is a hodge-podge of ideas about money, but the hodge-podge turns out to be a delicious stew as the parts coalesce in a new logologically and theologically perfected vision of money that, as I say, re-appropriates money to its rightful home in the study of rhetoric and religion. By raising money to the level of universal symbol, Burke enters the realm of theology by way of money or the realm of political economy by way of religion. Either way, his approach rounds out The Rhetoric of Religion and invites us to see money as more than a devil-term.\nMoney as a Symbol of Symbols\nWhat has money to do with religion? The title of Burke’s book, The Rhetoric of Religion, might have been rendered The Religion of Rhetoric, for the title is partly ironical where the subtitle, Studies in Logology is precisely descriptive of the contents and said to be broad enough to cover both religion’s rhetoric and rhetoric’s religion. The book shows how language embodies orders of desire, including the Idea of Order, which is, itself, a roundabout way of saying that language embodies The Word, or God (God being the highest Word or Idea of Order). The argument is furthered by Burke’s method of perspective by incongruity, whereby one can get at a symbol or substance by examining its opposite, or by juxtaposing seemingly unrelated symbols. As part of his argument intended to approach God by means of God’s opposite, Burke imagines The Lord and Satan in a conversation about money.\nThis dialogue touches on the symbolic power of money, but is also about temporality and its opposites.1 Implicating the idea that beginnings can be endings and endings beginnings we are asked to imagine a conversation taking place before the world was even though we literally read it after Burke’s Rhetoric of Religion is. We are asked to imagine the dialogue as taking place outside of human temporality, as if we could see at one moment “what has unfolded, is unfolding and is yet to unfold throughout the endless aeons of universal development.”2 The power of this perspective is itself an invitation to understand the mysteries of God, for only God could have the power of immediately perceiving past, present, and future. Yet as the conversation unfolds it becomes clear that Satan and humanity do not fully comprehend the works and designs of The Lord. But The Lord is a patient tutor.\nMoney fits naturally in this conversation about temporal realities. The word temporal is itself ambiguous, meaning both time and money or “involving merely the material interests of this world,” according to the OED. Money has a capacity to deceive us into believing it to be a pseudo-God, but Burke is careful not to depict money as a devil or devil-term in the dialogue. Instead, Burke tells us through The Lord that it’s more complicated than that (a phrase repeated nine times by The Lord). It is Satan who is constantly looking to oversimplify symbolic action. On the other hand, the Lord is highly tolerant of ambiguity and of his symbolically motivated human creatures. The power of symbolic action complicates their relations with one another and their relation to The Lord and Satan, but the Lord is ever lenient and amenable. As an epilogue to Burke’s arguments about how symbols shape our material, social, and spiritual realities, the “Prologue in Heaven” is about what symbols could mean in a meta-symbolic sense, or in a conversation before symbols assumed the meaning they now carry. Or rather, the \"Prologue in Heaven\" is a conversation in anticipation of symbolic action in a fallen world. Of course, as an epilogue to a discussion revealing how symbols bear the burdens they bear the work is a double entendre, at once about temporal and eternal, an epilogue as prologue. In short, Burke achieves a perspective of perspectives whereby, metaphorically and ironically, religion and rhetoric are synonymous, or are in the relationship of this for that, in the same way God and money are synonymous insofar as we put God’s name on our money “and call it an act of piety.”3\nBurke arrives at money’s ambiguities by way of the fact that our symbolic action is rhetorical. Our exhortations to live in some way end up being exhortations to live in The Way, in a roundabout way, anyway, because language itself has assumed over long generations of time exhortatory powers toward Order. Burke is careful to point out that he has adopted the comic frame for this conversation, tilting the whole talk in The Lord’s favor. The Lord instructs Satan about the complexity of money’s redemptive powers, at times stealing his thunder, thus animating our conception of the money symbol in terms of the ambiguities of human life. So long seen as a devil-term in the academy and the church, to say nothing of the wider world, money, Burke insists, redeems as well as damns. What we need is a capacity to appreciate the symbolic power of money, meaning its power to captivate our attention and to operate on us in more ways than one. Seen symbolically, money is a perfect means for understanding how symbols operate on our minds and for seeing how symbols push us toward order and irony.\nThe “Epilogue: Prologue in Heaven” presumes familiarity with Christian doctrine relating to the fall of man, his redemption through the perfect sacrifice of the Son of God, and belief in a life after death. Christianity is presented as a triumphant use of human symbols to imagine and identify with redemption. Burke utilizes this triumphant use of symbols to show that there is a way to hell even from the gates of heaven, to paraphrase Bunyan. Complicating symbolic action is difficult among humans who so often tend to rely too heavily on their symbols, not appreciating the way symbols undermine the reliance. It is as if Burke is kicking away the staff upon which all of us lean to show us that we can stand up straight, but only if we will cultivate awareness of the fact that we need redemption from the complexity created by our symbols and words, that we need redemption through the Word.\nThe first thing Burke tells us about money is that it is a generalized form of wishing. On this point both Satan and The Lord agree. By its convertibility into everything, money is the symbol of symbols. From it we can go everywhere, for by it we can get to “Everything.”\nS. But isn’t that too vague to keep them interested? After all, being animals, they will necessarily live by this particular thing and that particular thing. Far less than “everything” would be enough to choke them.\nTL. No, they won’t have to gag at “everything.” For their very symbolicity will enable them to invent a particularized form of “everything,” the most ingenious symbol-system of all: money. Money is intrinsically universalistic, since everything can have its monetary equivalent, its counterpart in terms of “price.”\nS. I see the pattern! What perfection! Money becomes a kind of generalized wishing. They won’t even directly reach for everything. They could even sincerely deny that they want everything. Yet they’ll get there roundabout, by wanting the universal medium into terms of which everything is convertible!\nTL. Yes, once they arrive at money, they will have arrived at desire in the absolute. Their love of money is the nearest they will ever come to symbolistically transcending their animal nature. A man can even starve to death hoarding the symbols that would buy him more than he could eat in many lifetimes. And men will kill themselves trying to amass more and more of the monetary symbols that represent good living.4\nAnimal nature makes of us particular beings with particular needs. Money is a universal way of reaching our particular needs and thus acts as a go-between for all particulars, a symbol of everything, and thus a universal particular, or a particular universal. Its very convertibility invents the possibility of symbolically transcending animality, for by it we can convert to something else. And yet, only human animals want to transcend their nature. Aristotle was one of the first to write of political economy and to warn us about money’s sheer incapacity to move us beyond our animal nature.\nEchoes of Aristotle\nThe transcendence of our animal nature is achieved logos-logically, or symbolically, but is there no limit to such transcendence? Aristotle’s distinction between economics and chrematistics at the end of Book I of the Politics derives precisely from the concern that our animal nature cannot be transcended by the symbol of money, and may not be transcend-able at all. Aristotle’s economics is a subset of his politics, perhaps even a counterpart to his rhetoric, and develops with respect to physics. Economics is a hybrid science arising out of physics and politics, and could be rendered as the art of homemaking. From Aristotle’s politics we know, like Plato, that the constitution of individual character is a microcosm for the constitution of a city. But Aristotle is, rather unlike the character of Socrates, capable of talking about money in instrumental terms and purposes. If a community chooses the course of seeking money for its own sake it is in jeopardy of degenerating into an oligarchic constitution, which in turn serves money as its only master. Acquisition and money have an ultimate end in nature, and only by understanding this end in terms of habitual blossoming (or, by implication, an unnatural degeneracy) can we understand how physics and politics are related.\nBecause acquisition of goods is natural in animals (including political, symbol-using animals) acquisition is also natural in cities. The difficulty is that in the human barnyard Aristotle has abundant examples of unnatural acquisition, against which he directs his moral energy. In order to resolve this problem he resorts to a logical and common sense explanation of economy or household management. Sound economy must attend more to people than to property and more to virtue than to wealth.5 For political animals acquisition beyond the scope of nature is possible because of the invention of money, but it is still not desirable. The limits of acquisition in nature require the virtues of husbandry and self-restraint. This assumption about the existence of boundaries in nature – like the spoiling of fruit – necessitates restraints on acquisition, for if it is unnatural to acquire fruit only to let it spoil it is likewise unnatural to acquire the means of exchange and let it sit. A well functioning city must ensure that money, as the medium of exchange for acquiring goods, is made to respect limits set by nature. We want money, but we want it to circulate. The pursuit of the means of exchange for its own sake disrespects the bounds which nature has set on acquisition. To grow money from money, in short, is a violation of the purpose for which money was invented, extends from a defect in human character, and results in an ill for the city. Political economy is subject to physics in this way because money is invented to provide matter and should therefore be subject to the material constraints of its nature. The acquisition of money is an instrument for justice only when it fulfills its own telos. “For money was intended to be used in exchange” and whenever it fulfills this intention it lives up to its nature.6 It was not intended to be collected for its own sake. For political animals acquisition beyond the scope of nature is possible, but never desirable because it works against living well.\nNatural acquisition pertains to household management – or economics – while unnatural acquisition pertains to chrematistics – the pursuit of wealth for its own sake. In the former acquisition provides goods “which may be stored up, as being necessary for providing a livelihood, or useful to household or state as associations. And it looks as if wealth in the true sense consists of property such as this.”7 Chrematistics, on the other hand, is wealth that does not contribute to livelihood or human associations, and its origins are related to speech that manipulates circumstances so as to seem advantageous to everyone. Chrematistic derives from the technique of exchange. The OED records the etymology of chrematistic χρημαΤισΤικδς is related to χρημαΤιζειν which means to deal, consult, or give response as an oracle. Chrematistics is not just money making for its own sake, but includes the simulation of sacred powers of speech relating to prophecy, presumably for the making of yet more money. Chrematistics is money-talk, specifically money-making through speculation. Its technique is that of money-making through speech, signifying that money-making for its own sake is in close proximity to foretelling, or acting and talking as if one can read the future. What is especially pernicious about this kind of money-making is that it depends on winning the trust and credulity of audiences in order to produce any value. Even value seems too generous a term to describe what is produced. Dare we even call it profit? Gain? Yes, gain, the hunt, the pursuit – and little else. Visions of oil speculators and young entrepreneurs talking widows out of their homes come to mind, and the concept reaches to the development of systems whereby talking becomes consulting, dealing, and oracular-izing in exchange for money. Chrematistics involves convincing large segments of the community to prefer policies that cut against their own interests in order to allow for the chrematist to gain at the expense of the whole. Chrematistics is the confluence of all the forces of human speech for good and ill – the sacred promise and power of prophecy, but only in simulation; the citizen’s voice, but in praise of only money; the audience’s acquiescence to arguments, but only for the sake of the bottom line. One cannot imagine money-making as a way of life without money-making as a way of speech.\nDespite the excesses of chrematistics, acquisition and exchange are central to economy. Aristotle is concerned to show that even exchange value has a telos, an ultimate end, that of satisfying the needs of parties to the exchange. Whenever exchange moves beyond the satisfaction of natural needs and sufficiency into the realm of money-markets it works contrary to nature. Money markets are an attempt to circumvent animal necessity. Much confusion results from the fact that these two types of exchange, retail and financial, are so similar, Aristotle warns. People are too intent on living rather than living well. For this reason people think that getting wealth is the purpose of household management. To govern a house well requires a flow of goods and money, necessitating acquisition, but the flow always has a purpose beyond itself.\nAs soon as a state becomes interested in the production of money for its own sake it begins working contrary to the limits placed by nature on the proper use of naturally produced goods. The people who constitute such a community neglect their duties as husbands and wives, fathers and mothers, and sons and daughters.8 This may, at first blush, seem like a strange conclusion to draw from a community’s attitudes toward money, but the link extends from Aristotle’s sense that the private household is a microcosm of the state: “For these relationships are part of the household, and every household is part of a state; and the virtue of the part ought to be examined in relation to the virtue of the whole.”9 A mismanaged state is endemic to mismanaged households; mismanaged households are endemic to mismanaged states. An oligarchic state is only possible if citizens have given themselves over to the idea of oligarchy – an echo from Plato’s Republic. The unrestrained pursuit of chrematistics tends toward the neglect of social roles and the abandonment of social duties because money loses its purpose. When duties are forgotten, the vigor of the group diminishes and connections between the part and the whole weaken. “And it will often happen,” Aristotle writes, “that a man with wealth in the form of coined money will not have enough eat; and what a ridiculous kind of wealth is that which even in abundance will not save you from dying with hunger!”10 Burke echoes this point, as cited above, “A man can even starve to death hoarding the symbols that would buy him more than he could eat in many lifetimes.”11 This is the end Aristotle worries over when societies give themselves over to chrematistics. Burke seems to have shared the worry that our money symbols may overtake our animal necessities. To develop how a logological approach to money is best, Burke must get particular about money. Money has natural bounds, but it also has symbolic powers making it a source of association and a cause of dissociation.\nMoney as Virtue and Vice\nFor Aristotle, the end of money is excellence in living. For Burke, money exemplifies logological and theological perfection. In sketching the path to logological perfection, Burke borrows the symbols of Christian piety. It should be noted that although Burke is borrowing these symbols in the form of the prologue’s interlocutors, neither Satan nor The Lord differ enough in their respective perspectives to worry about which one accurately portrays Burke’s thoughts. In other words, the two interlocutors form a whole. Rather than portraying Satan and The Lord antagonistically, Burke gives them different parts to play in manifesting a unity. Satan plays the part of the fool, even dressing like one, while The Lord plays the part of the wise instructor. Burke’s Satan is wise enough to play the fool, while his Lord is just daft enough to suffer fools gladly – or to give them enough rope to work with, believing all the while they won’t hang themselves.\nThus, when Satan says that money “perfectly burlesques the godhead” we know that we are being treated to a critique of human theologies as well as a statement that reflects God’s own allowance for our misunderstandings of his ways and thoughts. “Out of its simplicity there emerges a great complexity,” Satan adds, echoing The Lord’s many statements about the relativity and complexity of human experience. Conspicuously absent from the “Epilogue: Prologue in Heaven” is St. Paul’s dictum, “the love of money is the root of all evil.” Instead, Burke’s Lord merely notes that the human love of money is the closest humans get to “symbolistically transcending their animal nature,” which is another way of saying money contains power to go beyond itself, even though it is, after all, the product of animals.12 “Money is intrinsically universalistic,” The Lord continues, “since everything can have its monetary equivalent, its counterpart in terms of ‘price.’”13 At the same time men kill themselves to amass more money they will find that money is a means to getting along. As well as being “intrinsically universalistic,” money is also “essentially communicative” and a “technical counterpart of love.”14 As a counterpart of love, money can “also serve as a surrogate for sexual potency.”15\nBy setting aside the love of money and seeing money as a way to love, Burke admonishes us toward symbolic production and away from symbolic overproduction and Empire. In all of this, we see the rounding out of the symbol-using animal by the clarification of his attitudes toward money. Elsewhere Burke praises Jeremy Bentham and the relationship between wealth and virtue.\nThere is a fundamental relationship between wealth and virtue which no “spiritual” scheme must be allowed to deny by fiat. Property and propriety are not etymologically so close by mere accident (and “clean” hands would in French be called propres). Morals and property are integrally related. They are obverse and reverse of the same coin. They both equip us for living.\n. . . . When we learn that “industriousness has three graces for daughters – virtue, science, and wealth,” why plague ourselves further? Industry, virtue, science, and wealth are all clearly the instruments of good living. In a wider sense, they are all but the primitive need of food and shelter, culturally projected – and the sooner we unite them, the sooner we may prevent the ethicizing tendency from perpetuating evils while supposedly idealizing goods.\n. . . . Give us a large dose of Bentham’s “pigsty philosophy” – for by such tests any country would be branded as gross until its last slums were removed and its paupers were given not merely sustenance, but the cultural equivalents of sustenance – activity, virtue, science, and wealth.16\nPigsties are gross, and so are slums, plagues, poverty, and dirty hands. If capitalism Jeremy Bentham style can deliver on its promise to rid us of these evils, let it try, remembering all the while that others have tried before and failed. But never lose sight of the symbolism of such strivings whereby even love and money can meet. Remember, too, that where love and money meet they may also diverge.\nAnd around and around we go on the symbol system merry-go-round in which one symbol, the symbol of symbols, money, symbolically implicates another and another until we get to everything! Once everything has its counterpart in terms of price, including love, the love of money can be redeemed as the transcendence of our animal nature. In this gospel, even Bentham is redeemable. And as the only animals capable of inventing and then exchanging money, humans are thereby symbolically empowered to build a superstructure in which money contradicts itself. Christianity was once slave morality, but is now the moral yardstick of capitalism masquerading as, or better, burlesquing God’s will that a rising tide lifts all boats. Except, “that’s only true if you have a boat,” as one survivor of hurricane Katrina quipped. And thus we have comedy from out of the tragedy of inequality. What was deprivation and loss becomes part of the moral struggle for acquisition and profit inherent in the logic of capitalism.\nTL. In the course of governance, many kinds of inequality will develop. For instance, some of the Earth-People will be able to accumulate more property than they could intelligently use in a myriad lifetimes, short as their life span is to be. And many others will starve. In brief, there’ll be much injustice.\nS. It’s revolting!\nTL. Hence, all the more need for “sanctions.” In the course of “proving” that such inequities are “right,” sanctions will pile up like bat dung in a cave. (And bat dung, by the way, will be quite fertile.)17\nOut of the “venerable piles” of bat dung will grow the “treasuring” and “questioning” of the same. Symbols, by their very nature complicate our situation because they always implicate their opposite. The human barnyard is pure comedy in which every symbol can be seen in terms of every other symbol and in which even the actors don’t always know which meaning the symbol signifies. Money contradicts itself because it causes inequalities, which lead to sanctions, which both justify inequalities and lead to further inequalities signifying a bad joke.\nBy adopting the comic style Burke tells us at the outset that he is giving the advantage to The Lord. The relativity of the money symbol, of life itself, even, is a joke, but jokes by their nature have to end up well and in perfect time. The joke about money that Burke wants to tell is apparently about its ironic and self-contradictory nature – as symbol extraordinaire. Implicated in this joke is the way we can get from money to God. The contradictory nature of symbols, symbols like money, is often disheartening, but we can study these contradictions for reasons to reform our symbols and ourselves. In this respect, because money stands in for all other symbols, it has to be seen in this incongruous sense. Satan finds human contradictions enrapturing.\nS. Milord, I swoon!\nTL. Hold up, young one. And having seen already how their words will provide freedom in principle, by allowing for either the affirmation of affirmation, or the affirmation of negation, or the negation of affirmation, or the negation of negation, note further this sheer design, how it follows of necessity from the nature of the Word-Animal’s symbolicity: First, note that out of the negative, guilt will arise. For the negative makes the law; and in the possibility of saying no to the law, there is guilt.\nS. And if guilt, then punishment?\nTL. It’s more complicated than that. For money introduces the principle of redemption. That is, money will give them the idea of redemption by payment, which is to say, by substitution. For it would be a matter of substitution, if a man paid off an obligation by money whereas otherwise he might have been required to suffer actual physical torment.18\nWhere Satan swoons over human contradictions, The Lord gives allowances for the constraints of human symbol systems. Satan wants to destroy the dialectic by seeing money as all bad or all good. Where Satan sees the need for punishment, The Lord sees the need for redemption.\nAs a tool of exchange, money is indifferent about whether it goes to tithes or pornographers, but as a symbol of what we value money zealously signifies interests. Money stands beneath many motives, is an end quite often pursued for its own sake, and also a means to other ends. Money is a straightforward holder of value and a complex statement about what we value and how we can attain it. Money masks motives, but money also motivates and moves – as in the teenager who finally gets off the couch and gets a job. As a symbol, Burke is quick to note, money is a universal symbolic placeholder for everything. As such, it substitutes for God as easily as it does for the devil. Jesus recognized the symbolic power of money to generate and signify cooperation and non-cooperation, but he said there was a better way. Marx did not believe in that better way, and thought instead that capturing the means of production would be better than atonement through Christ. Because the redemption offered by capitalism and Marxism is thoroughly materialistic (and thus essentially moves away from Christianity and theology), Burke aimed to inject spirituality into the discussion about money by likening it to salvation by substitution.\nEchoes of Jesus and Marx\nBy the dawning of the bourgeois age, Christianity was compromised by the fact that its notion of turn the other cheek no longer held sway in a society where one was to be respectable above all else.19 By the middle of the nineteenth century Marx could say that Christianity had lost its power for initiating social change – it had become the status quo, in short, and was no longer capable of eradicating the evils of the day, including bourgeois snobbery, class un-consciousness, and gross inequality. Marx’s attitudes toward religion can be seen as less hostile than often reported. Religion, Marx says, is “the expression of real distress and the protest against real distress. Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, just as it is the spirit of a spiritless situation. It is the opium of the people.”20 In other words, religion is the heart, spirit, and medicine of a heartless, dispiriting, and sick situation. For Marx this means that religion is a function of the material realities faced by societies, realities Marx sees as desperately in need of material redemption, a redemption that is solely material. The hope religion offers, of course, would not be needed if societies followed Marx’s arrangement of materiality, or so he thought, and Marx’s complaint about religion is that it does nothing, in his mind, to relieve the real oppressions of the here and now. In his mind, religion results from inequality and merely reifies power relations as they are, resulting in further economic injustices.\nAll of this has not stopped writers from putting Marxism and Christianity together to explain the symbol of money and its place in a just society.21 Indeed, modern writers tend to put Christianity together with many economic systems for the purposes of furthering an agenda. To understand Marx’s attitude toward religion and commerce, in other words, it might help to gain some perspective by incongruity. Indeed, Marx’s opposition to Christianity can be explained in part through the symbolic power of Jesus’ attitudes toward money, which Marx thinks Christian societies had completely forsaken. In other words, perhaps Jesus’ point of view regarding money, from Marx’s point of view, was more right than wrong. It was Christianity that had lost its way.\nUsing an econometric method of studying the Gospels and in an effort to discredit any association between Christianity and socialism, Deirdre McCloskey finds that Jesus often spoke in favor of prudence and therefore could not have possibly been against markets. Jesus preaches prudence, self-love, self-interest, whatever you choose to call it. Jesus also preaches against prudence – or in favor of “a holy foolishness hostile to the world’s reasons.”22 Jesus occasionally preaches “using the rhetoric of gain, but modestly, such as ‘Give us this day our daily bread.’”23 Most often, however, Jesus preaches in ways that have no reference whatsoever to interests or prudence.24 Still, McCloskey says, a reckoning of the parables for or against prudence yields a two to one count in favor of prudence.\nOne is not obligated, McCloskey claims, to buy into the notion that Jesus or his teachings were anti-market or imprudent. On the contrary, she is\n. . . noting merely that Jesus the carpenter lived in a thoroughly market-oriented economy and did not ask all the fishermen to drop their nets and become fishers of people. He accepted that honest money changers were necessary to change denarii into ritually acceptable shekels. He offered salvation in the marketplace, not only at the high altar of the temple. He dined with tax gatherers, not only with the Pharisees and the hypocrites of sad countenance.25\nTogether with her criticism of the academic clerisy – which after 1848 held trade, commerce, religion, and political economy in contempt – McCloskey argues that socialism is not incumbent on faithful Christians, in part because Jesus lived in a market society.\nHer point is well made, but counting the parables for and against prudence is hardly a rhetorical reading of the Gospels any more than it proves that Jesus did or did not support a particular economic system. Consider Jesus’ statement about rendering to Caesar that which is Caesar’s. When asked, “Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not?” Jesus asks for a penny and inquires, “Whose is this image and superscription? And they said unto him, Caesar’s. And Jesus answering said unto them, ‘Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.’” While Jesus is said to perceive hypocrisy in the inquirer, the answer he gives has a ring of ambivalence, as if the question is not a particularly interesting one to begin with, and, anyway, his kingdom is not of this world. Jesus reduces money to its face value – its image and superscription. By treating money as symbolic power and then shrugging his shoulders at such power, Jesus signifies that he will not be tempted by the question or by the image and superscription on the penny. He exposes money as a symbolic power to illustrate that there is a power greater still. Treating the coin by its mere monetary value would have lessened the effect of his command. God and money may be interchangeable, but Jesus refuses to allow the exchange. And they marvel.\nIndeed, the early Christian interpreted the rendering to Caesar that which is Caesar’s as a way of “buying his way out; a sharp distinction was made between paying Caesar tax-money that was his (and there is no question of excessive taxation since what Caesar owns is nothing less than the orbis terrarum itself), and giving him the homage of a pinch of incense. That latter act was an acknowledgment of divinity, and a good Christian died sooner than make the concession, while the former was merely a recognition of ownership.”26 Rendering to Caesar, for the Christian, was “the best way to be rid of him, paying quickly and gladly whatever fees the masters of the earth imposed on them.”27 Rather than being taken in by purely earthy powers, the Christian pilgrim was to live free of such powers. By the time of Marx, his observation was that the Christian had become the ruling power and had given over to political and material powers, thus forsaking the Christian call to leave behind material things.\nJesus’ ambivalence manifests itself as a not so veiled opposition to the established order, the kind necessary, if Marx and Søren Kierkegaard are correct, to constitute Christians and Christianity in the first place. The opposition extends, if we might judge from other statements attributed to Jesus, from the idea that no earthly power, political, economic, or historical, can challenge the power of the Father, faith, hope, and charity. By emphasizing opposition to the status quo, to Caesar, to the greatest political and military might of the age, the rhetorical force of the exchange is palpable. I don’t care what you do with Caesar’s things, Jesus seems to say, only what you do with the things of God. By constituting the natural and social world in one fell, theological swoop, the rhetoric of this exchange illustrates an attitude that is incompatible with worldly worry over the payment of taxes or even the symbolism of wealth. Consider the lilies how they grow. Indeed, “rendering to Caesar” may have the rhetorical force of a thousand parables in favor of prudence to signify that the status quo ways of the world, which seem to circulate in new combinations are to be rejected by the faithful Christian.\nMarx’s materiality is but an attempt at compensating for his perception that Christian immortality is not likely. If, in the long run, we’re all dead, then we’ll all be materialists – as, indeed, I think Marx and Keynes and other political economists mostly show themselves to be. The Christian is not renouncing materiality, merely the powers of permanent ownership of the earth. What the Christian renounces is sovereignty more than materiality, at least with respect to payment of taxes and withholding of incense. Instead of wanting a permanent dwelling place, the early Christian wanted freedom to move on to some happier home. Marx dismisses such freedom on the grounds that life after death is a sham. Burke, on the other hand, recognizes the Eternal Enigma of homemaking amidst interstellar infinity together with a deep respect for the fact that our symbol systems can hardly be otherwise. To be sure, Marx and Burke would have observed that the church has not succeeded in removing from the earth injustice, imprudence, and immorality. But in a way that is the point of what Burke said the Marxists failed to understand about their own mission to remake the world: Any such attempt to save the poor should learn humility from the lessons of Christian history. A history of materiality was late on the scene, as it were, but it could not afford to forget the shortfalls of earlier symbol systems. As such, Marxism knew, but seemed to have forgotten that Christianity’s history gave an example of the pressing need for humility with respect to what can be accomplished by transforming the symbols of materiality. Or, as Burke would say, both Christianity and Marxism need to remember the importance of matter’s recalcitrance.\nThat Marx seemed to understand the point that Jesus’ teachings were opposed to the status quo ways of political economy is apparent. But Marx did not want to preach an obvious truth. Instead, he wanted to show how capital was a false god, a Christian idol designed to oppress the world’s workers. There is enough in the story of Jesus’ posture toward Caesar’s coins for Marx or Burke to begin thinking symbolically about money. Marx indeed goes a step further by thinking about money in terms of consubstantiality, or money and capital as sharing the same substance. Thinking about money in symbolic ways is one thing, for Marx, but capital transcends money and comes even to the throne of God. Money, when it takes on the form of capital, goes from a thing of mere motion to a thing of sheer action, in Burkean terms. Its agency is subsumed in its purpose. As motion, money is a medium; as capital, money has quasi-divine (or, as it were, blasphemous) properties:\nIn simple circulation, the value of commodities attained at the most a form independent of their use-values, i.e. the form of money. But now, in the circulation M-C-M, value suddenly presents itself as a self-moving substance which passes through a process of its own, and for which commodities and money are both mere forms. But there is more to come: instead of simply representing the relations of commodities, it now enters into a private relationship with itself, as it were. It differentiates itself as original value from itself as surplus-value, just as God the Father differentiates himself from himself as God the Son, although both are of the same age and form, in fact one single person; for only by the surplus-value of £10 does the £100 originally advanced become capital, and as soon as this has happened, as soon as the son has been created and, through the son, the father, their difference vanishes again, and both become one, £110.\nCapital is the ultimate symbol because it has the power, in Marx’s analysis, to generate motion out of itself, and in the process regenerate itself again. As a kind of fungible, resurrectable material capital has power to lay itself down and take itself up again. The attribution of such power to capital is what gives Marx’s entire philosophy its motive.\nOf course, money qua money has no such power which is why every time you reach into your wallet the stock diminishes. But capital, that’s a different story. By harnessing the power of labor comes the added power of capital to generate itself anew, as if it was the very Son of God presented in the very substance of the Father. The original value, plus the surplus value is a difference like that between God the Father and God the Son. The sheer consubstantiality between money and surplus value, or capital – the possibility of their being two and one – is a key to their symbolic power in Marxian analysis. Only when, symbolically, we go from money to not money (capital) to surplus value (capital plus labor) and back again to money (which is now, of course, also a greater sum of “not money,” or capital) do we recognize the real problem of injustice to which Marx is smarting. He is angry about the sheer symbolic power of the capitalist, his ability to make money from money on the backs of those who work for an amount of money that is less than their contribution to the production of yet further symbolic power which is then harnessed for yet further alienated labor, and so forth.\nThe passage just cited from Marx develops out of Marx’s own treatment of Aristotle’s distinction between economics and chrematistics.29 We have come full circle from the separation of money for living from money for money’s sake. In the process, we have seen that money contains a peculiar power of regeneration by its sheer convertibility and universality. It is the means to inequality and the means to remedying inequality. It is the father of capital and its offspring. It is that which damns us to inequality and that which contains the seeds of a mythical redemption by sacrifice. We are damned when we see money as an end in itself. We are redeemed when we see that money can aid us in accomplishing important ends – and as a symbolic placeholder for the highest kind of redemption available to humans.\nAs a means of reckoning value, money becomes the means of conceiving of redemption by substitution. Money will damn those who see its value solely in terms of itself, but its excellence as a symbolic holder of value liberates us from purely material constraints and makes possible ransom by substitution. Of course, it is not finally money that brings about redemption, but the human power to see the need for redemption and to see in money, as the symbol of symbols, a way to God. This is what is meant when The Lord describes the sacrifice of the “only begotten Son” as “theological perfection” and “logological perfection.”30 Perfection by substitution is the only way to see a symbol system, “for all its imperfection,” as if it “contains in itself a principle of perfection by which the symbol-using animals are always being driven, or rather, towards which they are always striving, as with a lost man trying to answer a call in a stormy night.”31 Satan understands this, but he cannot be content with it because his “love of paradox” makes him prefer discordance to congruity.32 One should not love paradox for its own sake. The “confusing of God and money is regrettable,” The Lord says, but we must not judge it too harshly. Harsh judgment will deny humans “the resources of their own minds” and “in effect be demanding that they think without thought.”33 Instead, the only way to move forward with the idea of this vicarious sacrifice for salvation is to face it on its own terms by seeing, as The Lord does, “that the principle of perfection takes many forms.”34 “Thus, on earth the ‘logic of perfection,’ however insistent, can prevail but relatively.”35\nThe only possible way to appreciate “the close connection between the form of words and the form of The Word” is by approaching human “motivational problems through an architectonic that ma[kes] full allowance for the nature of human animality and human symbolicity.”36 Hence money, for in money we have an embodied symbol, useless by itself insofar as we need food, but exchangeable for food or anything else in the right circumstances. The right circumstances are those in which money has currency, or the capacity of circulating among people. When money achieves a state of global currency, or exchange value with everything in play, then the logic of money reaches its full force, nearly overcoming the rhetoric of money. This insistent tendency toward complete ascendancy often meets with great opposition, like the Great Depression. \"The Prologue in Heaven,\" as the culmination of a great project begun in the midst of the Great Depression, is interested in re-appropriating money from the logic of capitalism and materialism. To achieve this, Burke shows how money contains the seeds of logological and theological perfection by weaving the symbolic meaning of money from its absolute corruption in the art of chrematistics to its symbolic meaning as a placeholder of what we ought to value most as developed by Aristotle, Marx, and Jesus.\nCapitalism co-opted the symbol of money as it were, chrematistically, by forcing it into a new-found logic about pursuing money for its own sake. Kenneth Burke wants us to understand money in a more complex and ironic way – beyond its face-value – so that we can better understand the role of symbolic action – of giving and receiving – in human relationships. By subsuming money in the rhetoric of religion, Burke’s logology, he (re)claims the dollar’s logos-value rather than its purely or merely economic value. This reclamation follows a religious impulse because it sees the circulation of money in terms of redemptive ritual. As a dollar becomes a gallon of milk or a tithe or any other commodity it represents cooperation in the common cause of life. Such cooperation is the most we can hope for in our interactions with one another, whether seen from God’s perspective or that of a twentieth century rhetorician’s, and insofar as the dollar represents cooperation rather than self-interest it belongs to the realm of rhetoric and religion, not capitalism.\nHow does Burke re-appropriate money to religion? The overriding claim of capitalism is that human nature is active and inclines toward self-improvement. Adam Smith says we are spirited and desire to engage in effort toward “bettering our condition,” as exemplified by our willingness to save money:\nBut the principle which prompts to save, is the desire of bettering our condition, a desire which, though generally calm and dispassionate, comes with us from the womb, and never leaves us till we go into the grave. In the whole interval which separates those two moments, there is scarce perhaps a single instant in which any man is so perfectly and completely satisfied with his situation, as to be without any wish of alteration or improvement, of any kind. An augmentation of fortune is the means by which the greater part of men propose and wish to better their condition. It is the means the most vulgar and the most obvious; and the most likely way of augmenting their fortune, is to save and accumulate some part of what they acquire, either regularly and annually, or upon some extraordinary occasions.37\nSmith observes or, indeed, sows the seeds of dissatisfaction and discontent with the present by remarking on the desire to “better our condition.” Our greatest preoccupation, he says, from birth to death is that of “augmenting [our] fortune.” The desire to better our condition is “the psychological linchpin” of the Wealth of Nations and is part of “the casual eclipse of other human ends by prosperity.”38 What Smith does under the auspices of his “system of liberty” is argue that the greatest advantages that come from living in a well-governed state are that the subjects are better lodged, clothed, and fed. In short, Smith’s concern is always with materiality as the objective means to gauge improvement in life. Smith is certain we can better our condition, especially if we think of such betterment solely in terms of our houses, clothes, and food.\nBurke, on the other hand, is considerably more sanguine about our drive for self-improvement and the bettering of our condition. He wants a healthy dose of Bentham’s pigsty philosophy, to be sure, but Burke’s psychological linchpin sees our desire for improvement and prosperity in terms of a limitation. Instead of seeing humans as physically active, he sees them rather as symbolically active. The change in approach makes it possible to see the ways in which bettering our condition implicates us in a host of new ways that inevitably worsen our condition. Burke stresses the symbolic by-products, the oxymorons, ironies, and contradictions of our actions toward improvement and our drive toward perfection. Likewise, Burke never limits betterment to houses, clothes, and food, although he surely includes it. Betterment, for Burke, depends to a considerable degree on the quality of our attitudes and words. Any mortal conception of absolute perfection is rotten because it is not for us to achieve the realization of absolutes. A striving for perfection through the false god of self-interest, for example, is hardly the way to imagine transcending our nature, even though such suggestions help us see what money does for us. In this respect, capitalism aids us in the discovery of logology.\nRe-appropriating money from Adam Smith’s theory of self-improvement necessitates an ironic and liberal perspective toward human existence (a perspective, to be fair, Smith often shares). We have certain necessities that require cooperation. Such cooperation depends on trust and communication, what Smith called “the propensity to truck, barter, and exchange.” Humans employ symbols in order to induce trust and cooperation. In this respect, the symbol of money is extraordinary because the trust it manufactures is universally valid – in the sense that money can answer any necessity and any preoccupation that enters the mind of the symbol-using animal. The universal validity of money is an idol with respect to eternity, but insofar as our needs are purely temporal – physical and time-bound – money often answers the call. But even this answering of necessity does not restore money to the realm of logology and theology.\nIn order to do this, Burke goes back to the origins of redemption by animal sacrifice. The substitutive redemption through animal sacrifice was, for an agrarian community, the same as burning money on an altar (think pecuniary as flock or herd). Of course, symbolically it never functioned this way because the sacrifice contained a yet higher meaning, the meaning of atonement. And this is precisely Burke’s point – the sacrificial lamb is a perfect substitute; so is the sacrifice of the son of God. Money, too, is a perfect substitute, symbolically speaking, because it can be exchanged for anything – even the idea of redemption by sacrifice, if we so choose to imagine it (and many have). The sacrifice of the son of God is a perfect substitute for our crimes, our money crimes as well as all others. Money therefore functions on the level of logological and theological perfection because it is a perfect substitute for anything, or as Burke puts it, Everything! Atonement by sacrifice is a substitute Burke implies had its origins in money. For the devout theologian believing in divine revelation the idea that the Atonement derives from money sounds blasphemous. More likely, from the orthodox perspective, money is a corruption of the signs and tokens of substitution by sacrifice rather than the other way around. For the sociologist, however, money came first and from it sprang the idea of redemption by sacrifice. Burke seems to adopt the latter attitude, and by the adoption secures his place as a theologian of logology, thus simultaneously redeeming the title of his work – for only by this perspective is religion a rhetoric of human origins.39 It should be noted that the two perspectives are not necessarily mutually exclusive.\nIn the way of the sacrificial ram, money stands in for a higher purpose and it thus becomes a way of transcending our animal nature. Or, put more clearly, our capacity to employ symbols separates us from all other animals. Insofar as we employ our symbols to overcome our animal nature we simply renew our need for redemption. Substitutive power – the sacrificial ram for sin – is replicated every time money stands in for another thing. Exchanging money is like the Atonement in microcosm – but only when money is viewed – appropriately – or, better said, logologically. From this perspective money, or indeed the use of symbols generally, contains the seeds of redemption by substitution. “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” The Logos is a substitute; money is a substitute. If I employ money to give me bread to sustain my life I can see a way in which money extends my mortality, thus redeeming me from death (at least for a time). If I see this transaction in purely economic terms I may miss its symbolic roots in what Burke calls theological and logological perfection. When viewed logologically, the transaction of money for bread is indicative of the way Jesus died for another’s sins, or, at least, in the roundabout way of logology it can be understood in this way. When viewed logologically, perfection takes on a new meaning by opening a door for a Lord who is sympathetic to our necessities. Complicated, logological attitudes toward money give great allowances to animal limitations as well as symbolic overproductions.\nBurke’s attitudes toward money in the “Epilogue: Prologue in Heaven” are at once religious and indulgent toward humanity, sharing something with Aristotle, Jesus, and Marx. Seeing in our use of money and symbols an ever-present threat of destruction, these attitudes forgive a great deal. Simultaneously, and thank heavens, they seek the seeds of redeeming our existence. Our very tendency to need money when it is so devoid of intrinsic value is like our need for perfection despite an inherent inability in our natures to realize it.\nCapitalism maintains two paramount attitudes toward money: Money is an end in itself and the means of self- and public improvement. Money, for the capitalist, is good for the soul and good for society. In motion, money enriches everyone. Marx says, eh, not so fast. And Burke says it is more complicated than even that. Indeed, by making his “Epilogue: Prologue in Heaven” tilt toward the comic, Burke necessarily leaves Marx behind. Not all labor is alienated, not all money is capital, and not all increase is for its own sake. There must remain some residue of the shepherd caring for his sheep in our attitudes toward money, even if some of the truths of capitalism and Marxism point in other directions. Burke counters capitalism’s attitude with logology, studies of the word, including the Word. In this system, the attitudes discount money as an end or even as a means of self-improvement. Money is an amusing symbol that we must not allow ourselves to become too invested in. On the other hand, if we despise money we risk erring into misanthropy.\nIn the \"Prologue in Heaven\" Satan is enamored of the way money contradicts itself and misleads humans. He is keen to point out how money leads to inequalities, forgetting that such inequalities can be redeemed. On the other hand, The Lord is generous toward money, considering it in light of the limitation of human motives. He is keen to point out how money often invites the conscience as in a customer who, when given too much change, corrects the clerk. These attitudes reinforce the fact that money is impersonal and de-personalizing, but also communicative and cooperative. Money is a source of inequality and the pressing reason for sanctions. The quest for money is like the human quest for absolute, and thus rotten perfection, but also a clue toward the realization of the symbolic power of redemption by substitution, and thus a perfection that will do. Money damns us to inequality, but redeems us by helping us work together more easily and providing us with an avenue for allowances, charity, and redemption by payment. Human debt is staggering, but the sheer size is quantifiable, and thus finite enough to be paid back. Our dual animal-symbol nature makes us prone to wander in pecuniary wastelands, like sheep which have gone astray, but, peculiarly, our animal-symbol nature also restrains us from wandering too far afield (or so we hope).\n* David Gore was educated at the University of Wyoming and Texas A&M University.

{"text": "Tackling Youth Unemployment in Sierra Leone: Umaru's Story\nYouth unemployment was a major cause of the 11-year civil war in Sierra Leone and remains a serious threat to the peace that is enjoyed in the country today. An estimated 800,000 youths between the ages of 15 and 35 are actively searching for employment. Some of these youths lack skills and education, but it is even more difficult for those with disabilities and only a basic education to compete for the limited jobs that are available.\nUmaru, more popularly known as K-Man in his community, was a youth facing a bleak future. When he was 10 years old, Umaru was stricken by polio, an acute viral infectious disease that is widespread among children in Sierra Leone and leads to infantile paralysis.\n- With UNDP's support, the lives of 10,299 young have been transformed through increased incomes and improved food security\n- The income of the youth involved increased on average by 197%\n- Through the assistance, 5,000 young people started their own businesses\nUmaru, moved from his small hometown to Makeni, the biggest city in northern Sierra Leone, where he survived by begging on the streets. Umaru had attended school for only nine years. In Makeni, his fellow disabled peers advised him that begging was the only way for disabled people to make a living. Fortunately, Umaru was selected for training provided through UNDP’s youth employment programme. He was placed as an apprentice in a workshop where he learned how to make shoes. “I had decided that I did not want to be a beggar, I want to do something more fruitful and dignified with my life. The training was good,” a smiling Umaru explained. “I was supplied with basic materials like adhesives, leather, nails, a hammer, and I was also given a weekly allowance to look after myself while in training.”\nSince he participated in the training, Umaru has achieved a great deal. He finished his apprenticeship and started his own small business, which enables him to earn his living without begging. “I have a family now, and a child. I am responsible for feeding them and educating my child. On average, I earn about US$ 7 a day. On a good day, I earn even more. Now I am happy and proud,” he said. “My life has changed,” he continued, holding up one of his customers’ shoes. “I charge US$ 1.20 USD to repair it, and these sandals I made, I charged US$ 8 US for each. My life has changed, I run my own workshop and I am even training other disabled and polio victims. Hopefully, I will get more support to expand my workshop into a factory that will produce more and train more young disabled people.”\nUNDP has been working with various local partners – including CAUSE Sierra Leone, a youth-focused agency in Makeni – to support the country and address the issue of youth employment and empowerment.\nThe UNDP-managed US$ 2.1 million Youth Employment and Empowerment Programme is funded through the United Nations Peacebuilding Fund and the Governments of Ireland and Norway. It is designed to strengthen national policy, strategy and coordination for youth employment as well as sustain the establishment of basic support services for youth, including mentoring for micro and small enterprises and the establishment of career advisory services in the country’s universities.\nIn partnership with the newly established National Youth Commission and the Ministry of Youth Employment and Sports, 5,000 young people have started their own businesses as a result of the support. A recent independent study of the Programme shows that the support that Umaru received has transformed the lives of 10,299 young people overall. The study also found an average increase in the income of the youth of more than 197 percent. Communities also reported improvement in their food security and ability to afford further education.\nBack in Makeni, for Umaru, the impact of the project is not just that he now has a regular and significant income, but that his social status as a dignified member of society has been restored. “The most important thing is that now I have hope for the future,” he said.", "label": "No"}

{"text": "When you think of winegrowing, you might not think of bees as they are not needed in the production of grapes. Grapevines are hermaphrodites, have both male and female reproductive organs, and can self-fertilize (are wind-pollinated). However, bees are essential organisms in vineyards and actually do have an important role in wine production.\nWhy having bees in the vineyard?\nPlants that grow around grapevines are crucial for a healthy vines environment, and they do need bees to pollinate them. Bees are the primary pollinators of several plants and cover crops planted in the vineyard. Cover crops in vineyards help to regulate the level of nitrogen in the vineyard, increase the organic content of the soil, help improve the water-holding capacity of the soil, eliminate the need for chemicals use, and regulate vines growth. Thus having cover crops in the vineyard and consequently, bees, create a healthier ecosystem for vines that then produce better quality grapes. Having a sustainable ecosystem is the key for any organic and biodynamic winegrower; that’s why several of them have their own beehives near vineyards.\nA study from South Australia revealed that honey bees are actively removing the calyptra from grapevine flowers during the flowering phase, and with that increases the pollen yield by 70 % compared to collecting pollen from flowers after capfall. There are several benefits of cap removal by honeybees for the development of berries and grape bunches. For example, bees can help reduce the occurrence of millerandage and formation of live green ovaries (mostly known for the Pinot Noir variety) due to the persistence of the calyptra. They can also be used as entomovector* to place Trichoderma koningii – fungi used as biological control agents for control of Botrytis bunch rot in grapevines.\n*Entomovector – a pollinating insect used as a vector to spread a substance used in the biocontrol of plant pests and diseases. The insect is typically a honey bee, bumblebee, mason bee, or any other variety of insect that spreads pollen among plants.\nPossible downside of having bees in the vineyard\nSome might argue that bees can cause damage to berries. So yes, bees drink juice from grape berry when ripe. However, bees don’t bite the grape to get the juice. If ripe grape berries have a crack or puncture wound from birds, other insects, or natural splitting, then the bees will suck the juice out of grapes, otherwise not.\nBees can be found in the vineyards during several grapevine growth stages, but mainly during vines and flowering weeds/cover crops bloom periods. During that time, special care is needed when spraying vines with plant protection products to protect the grapes from pests and pathogens.\nVineyard spraying and bees protection\nPlant protection products (PPPs) are used in agriculture production to protect plants and crops from pests, pathogens, and weeds. As they can contain hazardous substances, special caution is required when applying them. So that they do not harm humans, animals, and the environment. Several initiatives and laws were placed to promote the sustainable use of pesticides.\nAlthough PPPs are necessary to protect crops, to produce enough food to feed all the people, they can have adverse effects on food production, as they can harm beneficial organisms such as bees. Without bees, there would be no life, as they pollinate many plants and plant crops that are essential for human survival. Based on estimations, bees and other pollinators pollinate about 70% of agricultural crops, especially fruits, vegetables, and nuts. While beekeepers each year reports on average 30% loss of beehives. There are numerous reasons why bees and other pollinators are declining; one of the most threatening for the bees are plant protection products. That’s why it’s essential to think of bees when spraying vineyards.\nSome practical advice on how to protect bees when spraying vineyards:\n- try not to spray with PPPs during the flowering period\n- if it’s necessary to suppress diseases or pests during flowering, spray when the bees are in hives (very early morning or late evening) and with PPPs which are not dangerous to the bees\n- mow flowering plants inside and around vineyards, before using PPPs that are dangerous to the bees\n- when spraying prevent PPPs from drifting to surrounding areas\n- precisely follow PPP’s user manual\n- establish mutual cooperation with beekeepers\nSo next time you go into the vineyard and spray with pesticides, do think of bees and protect them as they are a vital element for our survival. Namely, a wast majority of the food we eat relies on honey bees and other pollinators. If there is a way to make your vineyard more bees friendly do that, bees are very hardworking, and with their buzz, you will be rewarded several times, also with higher quality grapes.\nHogendoorn, K., Anantanawat, K. & Collins, C.

The rise of Japan and the wrangles among the great powers over China and Korea were some of the issues that put East Asia in the spotlight. In China, Western powers had been contending fiercely for economic and political hegemony since the Opium War. Japan, after abandoning its national policy of seclusion in 1854, carried out the Meiji Restoration in 1868 and was driving towards rapid Westernization. Here modernization took place in a relatively smooth manner and there was no need to fear external threats, but domestic tensions were inevitable. Finally Korea, after being forced to open its doors in 1876, suffered from acute dissensions between conservatives and progressives, and fierce competition between China, Japan and Russia over hegemony in Korea complicated the situation further.\nNot Such an 'Unpromising Beginning': The First Dutch Trade Embassy to China, 1655–1657 (pp535-578)\nHenriette Rahusen-De Bruyn Kops (Georgetown University)\nAs early as 1613, the leadership of the Dutch East India Company [VOC] recognized the importance of direct trade with China. Attempts to gain a foothold on the Chinese coast by use of force in the early decades of the century were unsuccessful. Beginning in 1624, the Dutch used a fortified settlement on the island of Taiwan as the next best thing to a mainland base. When their position on Taiwan was threatened in the middle of the century, the VOC directors decided to try to get their mainland trading privileges through diplomacy. Although later embassies have received more extensive scholarly attention, relatively little research has been done into the expectations and strategies of the various parties involved in the first VOC embassy of 1655–1657.\nSurviving Economic Crises in Southeast Asia and Southern China: The History of Eu Yan Sang Business Conglomerates in Penang, Singapore and Hong Kong (pp579-617)\nStephanie Po-Yin Chung (Hong Kong Baptist University, Hong Kong)\nPrologue: Business Environment and Economic Behavior\nFor more than two decades, sociologists, historians and economic geographers have produced many case studies on Chinese family businesses. A major consensus of these works suggests that 'networking', especially ethnic and familial, is extremely important to Chinese businesses. Various models and theories have been employed to explain this phenomenon. Notable among these explanations is the idea of Chinese entrepreneurship. According to this idea, such ethnicity-based groups as the Cantonese and the Fujianese (of the provinces of Guangdong and Fujian), are regarded to be culturally oriented towards business entrepreneurship and the cultivation of business networks. Before the outbreak of the Asian economic crisis in October 1997, many researchers believed that 'Chinese entrepreneurship' and the 'business culture of networking' contributed to the success of Chinese businesses in Asia (especially in the 'Four Little Dragons' of coastal Asia). For example, Confucian ethics and its emphasis on familial and ethnic networks is regarded as an asset for business expansion by Chinese international enterprises based in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Singapore. After the outbreak of the crisis, more research on the nature of Chinese entrepreneurship and the culture of networking was carried out. This research started from a different angle. The reliance on politically secured economic privileges (i.e.; nepotism), was identified as a defect of networking and thus, one of the major underlying causes of the crisis. The claim that the culture of networking contributes to business success actually offers a readily available explanation for its failure as well (see for examples Redding, 1990; Yeung, 1997; Yeung, 1998).\nCongress Radicals and Hindu Militancy: Sampurnanand and Purushottam Das Tandon in the Politics of the United Provinces, 1930–1947 (pp619-655)\nWilliam Gould (Centre of South Asian Studies University of Cambridge)\nA recent trend in the historiography of north India has involved analyses of 'Hindu nationalist' motifs and ideologies within both mainstream nationalist discourses and subaltern politics. A dense corpus of work has attempted to provide historical explanations for the rise of Hindutva in the subcontinent, and a great deal of debate has surrounded the implications of this development for the fate of secularism in India. Some of this research has examined the wider implications of Hindutva for the Indian state, democracy and civil society and in the process has highlighted, to some degree, the relationship between Hindu nationalism and 'mainstream' Indian nationalism. Necessarily, this has involved discussion of the ways in which the Congress, as the predominant vehicle of 'secular nationalism' in India, has attempted to contest or accommodate the forces of Hindu nationalist revival and Hindutva. By far the most interesting and illuminating aspect of this research has been the suggestion that Hindu nationalism, operating as an ideology, has manifested itself not only in the institutions of the right-wing Sangh Parivar but has been accommodated, often paradoxically, within political parties and civil institutions hitherto associated with the forces of secularism. An investigation of this phenomenon opens up new possibilities for research into the nature of Hindu nationalism itself, and presents new questions about the ambivalent place of religious politics in institutions such as the Indian National Congress.\nThe Master and the Maharajas: The Sikh Princes and the East Punjab Massacres of 1947 (pp657-704)\nIan Copland (Monash University)\nDuring the spring, summer and autumn of 1947 India's richest province, the Punjab, played host to a massive human catastrophe. The trigger for the catastrophe was Britain's parting gift to its Indian subjects of partition. Confronted by a seemingly intractable demand by the All-India Muslim League for a separate Muslim homeland—Pakistan—a campaign which since 1946 had turned increasingly violent, the British government early in 1947 accepted viceroy Lord Mountbatten's advice that partition was necessary to arrest the country's descent into civil war. 'Mahatma' Gandhi notably excepted, the leadership of the Congress party came gradually and reluctantly to the same conclusion. Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, Jawaharlal Nehru's deputy, likened it to the cutting off of a diseased limb. But in accepting the 'logic' of the League's 'two-nation' theory, the British applied it remorselessly. They insisted that partition would have to follow the lines of religious affiliation, not the boundaries of provinces. In 1947 League president Muhammad Ali Jinnah was forced to accept what he had contemptuously dismissed in 1944 as a 'moth-eaten' Pakistan, a Pakistan bereft of something like half of Bengal and the Punjab and most of Assam.\nThe Emergence and Development of the Jama'at-i-Islami of Jammu and Kashmir (1940s–1990) (pp705-751)\nYoginder Sikand (Royal Holloway, University of London)\nThe Jama'at-i-Islami is, by far, one of the most influential Islamic movements in the world today, particularly strong in the countries of South Asia. Its influence extends far beyond the confines of the Indo-Pakistan subcontinent, and the writings of its chief ideologues have exercised a powerful impact on contemporary Muslim thinking all over the world. Much has been written about the movement, both by its leaders and followers as well as by its critics. Most of these writings have focused either on the Jama'at's ideology or on its historical development in India and Pakistan. Hardly any literature is available on the evolution and history of the Jama'at in the disputed state of Jammu and Kashmir. This is unfortunate, because here the Jama'at has had a long history of its own, which has followed a path quite distinct from the branches of the movement in both India and Pakistan. Furthermore, the Jama'at has played a crucial role in the politics of Kashmir right since its inception in the late 1940s, a role that has gained particular salience in the course of the armed struggle in the region that began in the late 1980s and still shows no sign of abating.\nModern Asian Studies (2004)\nCopyright ©2004 Cambridge University Press\n(This journal is available online at: http://titles.cambridge.org/journals/\nPosted with permission from the publisher.", "label": "No"}
{"text": "There is a lot of concern about the damage that a virus can do to your PC. With the prevalence of Microsoft Windows, this has certainly emerged as the primary platform for virus writers to target. While the anti-virus crowd has managed to stay one step ahead, there are radical virus protection features that are starting to make their way to your desktop.\nIn particular, automatic detection for buffer overflow conditions is becoming a primary feature. Popular anti-virus software vendor McAfee provides buffer overflow protection as a new feature in version 8.0, and Microsoft is planning to release Data Execution Prevention (DEP) in a future update to MS Windows that will perform a similiar function.\nThere is a significant problem here, buffer overflows are lurking in virtually every software program ever written for the Windows platform. This includes both commercially distributed and internally developed applications, many of these programs will require updates to function on a DEP enabled MS Windows platform or with the latest release of McAfee.\nA buffer overflow results when a program attempts to use more memory then it has allocated. In a typical program there are numerous allocations that take place on an ongoing basis. As long as the overallocation doesn’t step into some critical memory, your program continues to run happily. If, however, an overallocated segment of memory happens to be adjacent to an active program function, then the function will get overwritten by the number of bytes you are overallocating.\nVirus writers can exploit buffer overflows to compromise your system. Essentially, if an application can always be found following a specific data memory allocation, then you can send the program more data then it can hold and when this memory is full it will start overwriting the memory representing the program. At this point, you could overwrite the privileged application memory with your own virus and thereby gain elevated system access.\nFortunately, every Intel CPU since the 80286 has supported protect mode operation. When running in protect mode, an application only has visibility to the memory that belongs to that application. So it is not possible for a program running locally to allocate itself into the same memory the operating system kernel is using. This means that the only way for virus to inject themselves are by relying on intrinsic functions of a defective application. For example, the Microsoft JPEG library had a buffer overflow that could be exploited by embedding your virus into an image.\nDetecting buffer overflow conditions require sophisticated software that track memory allocations from your program. Not only that, some programs rely on proprietary memory management strategies that would be immune to this detection. One might argue this is not the kind of thing you would want to detect; rather, the defective application should be properly tested by the author of the software to eliminate buffer overflow conditions.\nIn either case, software vendors are going to be forced to update their code. Applications that are stopped as a result of buffer overflow will require an update in order to cotinue functioning. This technology won’t fix the problem and a lot of software is going to be nonfunctioning because of it.\nA more appropriate solution is to adopt new memory management strategies, in particular the automated management facilities native to platforms like Java and the .NET CLR are ideally suited to this task.

{"text": "Higher Education, Virtual Education, Open Education\nMartin Trow (Reflections on the transition fro elite to mass to universal access: forms and phases of higher education in modern societies since WWII, 2007) reflects on how attitudes before access and functions of higher education have changed as we move from bringing higher education to an elite (0-15% of the population), to the masses (15-50%) to providing it universally (>50%).\n- Attitudes before access move from being a privilege, to a right to some qualified ones to an obligation.\n- Functions of higher education move from being a preparation for the roles of the elites, to the transmission of skills and a preparation for some technical and economic functions, to adapting the whole population to a quick social and technological change.\nThough, some problems arise: the university system cannot accommodate everyone aiming at accessing higher education. What the university can offer — content, experience, certification — usually comes with a trade-off with quality. And, thus, quality has decreased in the higher education system. More people gets in the system, the level of education remains stable (or decreases) and less (in relative terms) people graduates. There is a new iron triangle: access, cost and success.\nBut now we have the Internet. Now what? What should be done in higher education, given those problems and the fact that we now have the Internet?\nA first answer was open courseware: digitize all the existing “knowledge” and make it available for free.\nNow, MOOCs have brought yet another debate on the table, again related to access. But access to what? Is there an instructional path? Does even having an instructional path equal learning? Four aspects for the debate about MOOCs:\n- Do they scale?\n- How do we manage the huge amount of data that they generate?\n- Do they represent a different pedagogic approach?\n- Where are the learning outcomes?\nWeaknesses of the MOOC model:\n- Traditional/handmade model of instructional design. Why are we still working individually in teaching and instructional design? MOOCs reproduce the lecture hall and reproduces it online: videos, quizzes… they are not much different — from a pedagogic point of view — from the traditional way. Not that it is wrong, but can we go a step further? For instance, we know that active learning is much better for the building of new knowledge.\n- Inability to produce relevant research. For instance, we do know that socialization plays an important role in learning, but most MOOCs do not take that into account. Many of them ignore the possibilities of study groups.\n- P2P virtual environments are based on social networks. Peers help each other to learn how to learn. How are MOOCs approaching this fact?\nWhat about scale? Communities of experts, co-creation models, are very much related with communities of learning. Thus, learning environments should not be intimate.\nAbout research, one has to begin to put the right questions, and then gather data to try to answer them. Like what is the best predictor of academic performance in the last year of undergrad education. Is it family income? Social class? How well they did in their admission test? Other factors?\nIn the future, one would like to see communities of experts that make up the curricula and then inform communities of learners. A community of learners should be supported at any time by a community of experts that can, in an informal environment, help them through their learning process: peer-based learning environments. We need open information, we need problems that need being solved in groups. There are digital platforms — or mixes of digital tools — that come very handy to create these P2P learning environments.\nCombine technology, virtuality and openness, to be used by individuals, by classrooms, by institutions or by groups of peers. This is what is being done at UCI OpenChem.\nQ: what elements should MOOCs have to (a) guarantee learning and to (b) reduce drop out rates? Cooperman: there has to be interaction among the peers. The key of learning is about facilitating communities of learning, P2P learning environments.\nIf you need to cite this article in a formal way (i.e. for bibliographical purposes) I dare suggest:\nPeña-López, I.

{"text": "Learning technologies in mobile scenarios\nMagí Almirall, Office of Learning Technologies, Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC), Spain\nIn ancient Greece, learning was a collective activity, and a pedagogue was usually a slave that walked along with you to help you in understanding the world. These are the roots of mobile learning: collective knowledge sharing with no boundaries of time or space.\nA set of projects were designed to adapt mobile learning scenarios from a user-centered design (UCD) perspective\nIt is very important keeping the user in mind when designing a learning initiative (at the technical and also at the non-technical levels).\nThe project consisted in analysing how users (UOC students) were studying online and, after that, 6 projects to adapt the learning process were designed to improve their learning experience:\n- My Way: that adapted content to be delivered in many different supports, like audiobooks (including Daisy for visually impaired people), videobooks, ePub, MobiPocket, etc. The idea leading the project is that the best learning content format depends on the scenario.\n- Annotation: this project allows including Layers to your own content. Layers organize your activity, can be shared, sent to the student, etc. Learners will define uses that we may not imagine, test and observe it.\n- Mobile Classroom: a project to put your virtual classroom on your mobile phone, but selecting only what makes sense on a mobile phone. The idea behind the project is bringing the student the alerts they might need at the appropriate time.\n- Mobile widgets: content and services from the online campus are created for the iPad interface, campus mobile, campus e-book, etc. so that the most relevant campus services are accessible in these mobile devices. The idea is to bring the same information for any device… which at its turn is quite a challenge, as devices are many and new ones appearing each and every day.\n- Foreign languages self-assessment: Mobile scenarios need more interactive contents, that’s why language teaching has a more interactive approach (quizzes, self-assessment activities) in the mobile scenario in comparison with a stationary scenario, where other kind of more static content can be displayed.\n- Campusproject.org: the goal of this project is to connect the virtual campus with any kind of platform, service, content existing on the Internet and bring it into the virtual campus. Interoperability is used to connect with other institutions, to expand the own learning tools, etc.\nSteve Vosloo: How is content processed or developed to be adapted to any format? A: If content is written in DocBook, then translation to other formats is almost straightforward. On the other hand, people’d rather have video formats for their small devices, and would rather have iPads for content, as they are more friendly that other screens.\nIsmael Peña-López: Most projects here presented were about content-student interaction. Are there any projects that deal with person-to-person interaction? A: There are two ongoing projects in this line. One is called Speak Apps and it is about adapting the Tandem platform to the mobile world. The Tandem platform enables students in differents parts of the world to team up and study foreing languages, the languages being respectively foreign or their native ones. Another project is adapting the Langblog platform for mobiles.\nUOC UNESCO Chair in Elearning VII International Seminar: Mobile Technologies for Learning and Development (2010)\nIf you need to cite this article in a formal way (i.e. for bibliographical purposes) I dare suggest:\nPeña-López, I.

{"text": "Community Labs in Public Libraries\nGiven their historic role of curating information, libraries have the potential to be key players in combating misinformation, political bias, and other threats to democracy. This research project seeks to support public libraries in their efforts to address misinformation by developing library-based community labs: spaces where patrons can collectively explore pressing social issues. Community labs have become popular across many European countries, where they are used to instigate democratic debate, provide discussion spaces and programming, alleviate community tensions, and promote citizenship and mutual understanding. This project aims to adapt a community lab model for use by public libraries in Washington.\nAfter an initial literature review and conversations between interested libraries and the research team, we will carry out interviews with staff from the 10 participating libraries.The goal of this stage is to develop a more concrete vision for the design of the community labs. Interviews will explore what library programs have been popular in the past, the experiences that librarians and community members have had with misinformation, and what priorities community members might have for the community labs. These interviews will help the research team select two rural libraries as project sites for the development of community labs.\nTo develop community labs tailored to the needs of the communities, researchers will set up design workshops to bring together library staff and community members to co-develop core elements of the lab. Topics of conversation will include the format of programming, relevant topics that the community would like to see addressed, what would motivate library patrons to engage with the community lab, and more. Using these discussions and a combination of research methods, including pre- and post-surveys, participant observation, qualitative interviews, and storytelling to evaluate the programs to help further refine the community labs.\nThe two libraries that participate throughout the entire project will come away with their own community labs, which they can choose to sustain long-term. Other libraries throughout Washington will have access to the plans and curriculum produced by the project, so that they can choose to design and implement their own labs.", "label": "No"}
{"text": "Virtual machines (VMs) are an abstraction of physical hardware turning one server into many servers. It functions as a virtual computer system with its own CPU, memory, network interface, and storage, created on a physical hardware system. Software called the hypervisor allows multiple VMs to run on a single machine.\nIn the VM world, the operating system actually running on your computer is called the host and any operating systems running inside VMs are called guests.\nA container is a standard unit of software that packages up code and all its dependencies so the application runs quickly and reliably from one computing environment to another. Containers are exceptionally “light”—they are only megabytes in size and take just seconds to start.\nEach VM includes a full copy of an operating system, the application, necessary binaries and libraries – taking up tens of GBs. VMs can also be slow to boot.\n- Different VM, different operating systems are possible. like windows, linux etc.\n- Higher disk space as each VM is heavy\n- Bootup time is more, as it needs to boot the entire OS\n- More isolation between different VM\n- Containers share a common operating\n- Light in size, as there is no guest OS\n- Bootup time is faster\n- Less isolation as underlying kernel is shared bw different containers\nWhat is Docker Engine here:\nDocker is a set of platform as a service (PaaS) products that uses OS-level virtualization to deliver software in packages called containers. Containers are isolated from one another and bundle their own software, libraries and configuration files; they can communicate with each other through well-defined channels. All containers are run by a single operating system kernel and therefore use fewer resources than virtual machines.\nThe software that hosts the containers is called Docker Engine.\nIt was first started in 2013 and is developed by Docker, Inc.\nVirtual machines and containers differ in several ways, but the primary difference is that containers provide a way to virtualize an OS so that multiple workloads can run on a single OS instance, where with VMs, the hardware is being virtualized to run multiple OS instances. Containers’ speed, agility, and portability make them yet another tool to help streamline software development.", "label": "No"}

{"text": "Human brands: powerful and risky\nHuman brands such as Calvin Klein and David Beckham – brands that are people as well as productized brands for sale in the marketplace – are at once hugely powerful as well as highly risky. They are powerful because human brands convey a level of authenticity and potent cultural meaning that non-human brands cannot match. This grants the resonance, differentiation and personal connections required for brands to thrive in today’s commoditized world. But human brands are risk-laden because people present increased chances for undesirable events such as illness or misconduct, and these reputational challenges can diminish returns. How can managers harness the power of human brands while reducing the risk associated with them?\nTo answer this question, we leverage a medieval legal theory developed by History Professor Kantorowicz some decades ago to explain how a king can be both a mortal human and a legal entity that lives on across time (see Box 1).\nHuman brands: powerful and risky\nThe King’s Two Bodies: A “body natural” and a “body politic” make human brands different\nHow can a King can be both a mortal human (“the body natural”) as well as a legal entity which will live on in the form of another person when the current king dies (“the body politic,” or public, when we talk about brands)?\nA key insight from this theory is that the two bodies are inextricably interwoven and can never be separated; their competing interests work at odds and need to be managed simultaneously. The two-bodied framework highlights what makes human brands different from other brands: It is their very humanness – the physical and social realities, mental biases and limitations of being human – that introduces risk while generating the ability for enhanced returns. Four tenets of the body natural can create imbalance or inconsistency across the brand’s two bodies: mortality, hubris, unpredictability and social embeddedness (see Figure 1).\nNone of these qualities manifest in traditional non-human brands and all of them present risks requiring active managerial attention. Rather than treating humans as brands and making humans into brands for sale in the commercial marketplace, our framework forces a focus on the deeply human qualities of the human brand.\nThe risks a body natural imposes on the brand\nThe first characteristic of the body natural is perhaps the most obvious: The body natural is mortal, and this means that one day the person in the human brand will die. Typically, companies seek to separate the body natural from the body public. This strategy is encouraged in a stock market that demands an endgame wherein the brand is not dependent on the person for its vitality. In the case of the Martha Stewart human brand, to prepare for her eventual death, managers tried to distance Stewart the person from Stewart the brand. This strategy was not successful: The body natural provides the primary source of meaning and cannot be excised without diminishing human brand value.\nA sense of infallibility is another quintessential human quality that introduces risk to human brands. Some charge that Hillary Clinton lost the election because hubris clouded her ability to understand her status among voters; the media criticizes President Donald Trump daily for hubris that impedes effective decision-making. Hubris privileges the body natural over the body public, putting the human brand system out of balance and at risk.\nHuman brands are also risky because of the unpredictability of human nature. Managers of traditional brands are taught to carefully control the marketing mix in order to convey a consistent message over time, but it is part and parcel of human nature to not be “on brand” at all times. The body natural inadvertently leaks meanings every day and these meanings do not always align with the brand’s positioning. Indeed, this very quality lends authenticity in a powerful way that non-human brands can never match. As President Trump’s press secretary knows too well, balancing the authenticity derived from being unpredictable with the risk of being inconsistent is hard to get right.\nHuman brands are socially-embedded – they live within complex webs of families, friends and colleagues – and these relationships introduce unintended risks to the human brand. A large part of the cultural meaning of a human brand stems from what others reveal about the brand to the public. This lends intimacy to the consumer-brand connection, as consumers feel they know the “real” person behind the brand, not the managed image. But, brand managers do not have control over what connected others will reveal. In Martha Stewart’s case, testimonies of family members and subordinates exposed a person starkly at odds with the brand image of domesticity and perfection. Ivanka Trump’s fashion brand suffers at the hand of her connections to her father.\nHuman brands are risk-laden because people present increased chances for undesirable events such as illness or misconduct, and these reputational challenges can diminish returns.\nHow to handle risk and deploy the power of human brands\nProper management of the sources of risk in the human brand requires attention to two guiding principles: consistency and balance between the two bodies of the brand.\n- Find the right balance\nMortality and hubris can lead to an imbalance, where one body is privileged over the other. To reduce this risk, governance structures, succession plans and the public relations toolkit can be judiciously applied to ensure that the body public, in the case of mortality risk, or the body natural, in the case of hubris, does not dominate.\n- Ensure Consistency\nUnpredictability and social embeddedness can lead to inconsistency between the two bodies – when the person does one thing and the brand says another – and righting this relationship is a core task of human brand managers. Inconsistency can have positive effects on perceived intimacy and authenticity of the human brand, but only if the magnitude of distance between the body natural and body public is not too great and if implicated meanings are not central to brand positioning. Managers should avoid brand platforms that contradict human nature or unrealistically constrain the body natural.\n- Monitor consistency and balance permanently\nWith human brand management, active stewardship of the body natural is an ongoing process, not just something to be engaged during times of brand crisis. Brand tracking systems can be designed for this, with metrics including the risk of hidden meanings in the body natural, difference between claimed and revealed meanings in the brand’s two bodies, and the valence of dominant personality traits of the body natural. Monitoring press coverage, social relations and public positions held by the body natural will help keep human brands on track.\nIn conclusion, the two-bodied system is a novel framework that uncovers the sources of risk in human brands and highlights strategies to unleash their power.", "label": "No"}
{"text": "National Electrical Code Articles and Information\nNational Electrical Code Top Ten Tips:\nArticle 300 -- Wiring Methods\nby Mark Lamendola\nPlease note, we do quote from copyrighted material. While the NFPA\ndoes allow such quotes, it does so only for the purposes of education\nregarding the National Electrical Code. This article is not a substitute\nfor the NEC.\nThese are the 10 NEC Article 300 items we deem most important, based\non the pervasiveness of confusion and the potential costs of same.\nThe language throughout NEC Article 300 misplaces the word\n\"only,\" but the meaning where this is misused is still clear\nif you interpolate just a bit.\n- NEC Article 300.3 addresses conductors and enclosures. (B)\nrequires all conductors of the same circuit to be in the same\nwireway. One reason for this is the basic physics involved when the\nelectromagnetic fields of conductors interact. Many other reasons\nmake this requirement of great practical value.\nAn exception to it\ndoes exist, and there are sometimes practical reasons for taking\nadvantage of that exception. (C) allows conductors at or below 600V\nto be mixed in the same enclosure, cable, or raceway regardless of\ntheir voltage. That mixing is safe from the standpoint of the NEC,\nbut the more of it you do the higher your risk of misoperation and\nother problems. Good engineering practice demands separating wiring\nsystems as much as is practical. Thus, you would run 5V signal wires\nin one wireway, 120V control wires in another, and 480V power in yet\nanotheróeven though you might terminate them all in one control\ncabinet. Even inside the cabinet, you want to route and bundle the\nwires so as to maintain the maximum separation that is reasonably\nattainable. Motor drive power and output wiring deserves extra\nattention in this regard.\n- NEC Article 300.4 addresses protection against physical damage.\nMany folks who run nonmetallic-sheathed cables (e.g., Romex) donít\nconsider adding protection. In residential applications, this is\nusually unnecessary, but a hole drilled off-center could easily\nleave the wiring susceptible to puncture from a nail or screw driven\nto support shelving, cabinets, or other wall-mounted objects.\n- NEC Table 300.5 provides the minimum cover requirements for buried\ncable of 0 to 600V.\n- NEC Article 300.8. Raceways or cable trays containing electrical\nconductors cannot contain elements of other systemsóno water\npipes, gas pipes, or any other non-electrical system elements can\nrun in those electrical wireways. The intent of the NEC Article\n300.8 also means, for example, running Romex through an A/C duct is\na Code violation.\n- NEC Article 300.11 addresses the issues of securing and\nsupporting. Cables and raceways must have their own supportóindependent\nof other systems. Their supporting structures cannot be piggybacked\nonto other supports. For example, you canít hang conduit from\nceiling grids, but you can clamp to the I-beams or rafters to hang\nrod and strut specifically for the conduit.\n(C) prohibits using wireways to support other wireways, cables, or non-electrical\nequipment. Thus, using cable ties to secure the wiring for that new\nPA system to conduit is a Code violation. A chief concern of NEC\nArticle 300.11 is that electrical wireways be independent. They may\nshare a supportófor example, you can strap multiple conduits to a\nstrut suspended by two rods. But, you cannot then strap a strut to\nthose conduits and hang a secondary set of rods to support another\nset of conduit or anything else.\n- NEC Article 300.12 requires mechanical continuity of raceways and\n- NEC Article 300.13 requires mechanical and electrical continuity\nfor conductors in raceways. In other words, you cannot have a splice\nin a raceway (but you can have it in a box or conduit body that has\nan accessible cover). NEC Article 300.5 does allow splices in\ndirect-buried conductors. Thatís because you can use instruments\nto locate the splices and you can excavate to get to them. However,\nitís much more difficult to do maintenance and inspection on\nconductors that are in raceways.\n- NEC Article 300.15 explains the exceptions noted in our comments\nin the preceding item, and it addresses similar issues in 13\n- NEC Article 300.19 and NEC Table 300.19(A) provide specifics on\nconductor and raceway supports.\n- NEC Article 300.20 requires conductors to be grouped together to\nreduce heating (this takes advantage of magnetic field interaction\nand cancellation). It contains two exceptions. (B) prescribes a\ntechnique few people know about. In fact, when this appeared in\nEC&M Magazine, many readers thought it was a hoax. It is not.\nThe technique involves cutting cooling slots in the holes through\nwhich a single conductor passes. This item has an exception and an\nFPN. It is worth becoming familiar with.\nDon't take your\nelectrical exam twice\nLearn more about:\nElectrical Calculations |\nHow the NEC is arranged\n- The first four Chapters of the NEC apply to all installations.\n- Article 90 precedes Chapter One, and establishes the authority of the NEC.\n- Article 80 follows the body of the NEC; it exists as Annex H. It provides the requirements for administration.\n- Chapters 5, 6, and 7 are the \"special\" chapters, covering special: occupancies, equipment, and conditions (in that order).\n- Chapter 8 provides the requirements for communications systems.\n- Chapter 9 provides tables.\n- The appendices provide mostly reference information.\n- Appendix D contains examples that every NEC user should study.\nTry your NEC moxy:\n- Do you know the difference between bonding and grounding? Hint: Look in the NEC, Article 100.\n- Does the NEC refer to grounding incorrectly in any of its articles? Yes! So be careful to apply the Article 100 definitions. Don't ground where you should bond.\n- When doing motor load calculations, which Article covers hermetic motors? Answer: While Article 440 covers the application of hermetic motors, it does so only by amending Article 430 because hermetic motors are a special case of motors. For motor load calculations, refer to Article 430.\n- Does the NEC provide a voltage drop requirement? Yes! It does so in a special case, which is Article 648 Sensitive Electronic Equipment.

{"text": "Adding a Ramp\nMost homes will need at least a small ramp for accessibility. Keep in mind not only will wheelchair users need a ramp but individuals who use walkers or canes, strollers, or have shortened strides will appreciate the lack of stairs. Even furniture movers will be happy they aren't carrying heavy furniture and appliances up large stairways. Ground level entries can be appreciated by almost everyone.\nFor many individuals using wheelchairs or walkers the difference between being able to access a doorway, or not, may often be measured in mere inches. Attention to detail can make the difference between achieving entry or excluding, or even injuring, someone. When the ADA's Wheelchair Accessible Construction Requirments for wheelchair accessible construction are not met, the results often limit or exclude entirely a person with a disability. Many times these failures can also be dangerous to everyone using the ramp.\nBefore beginning a ramp project do your homework. For ease of reference we recommend the following sources:\n- For ADA Regulations, Information, Design Standards, Publications or Technical Assistance, log on to http://www.usdoj.gov/crt/ada/ .\n- For more information regarding ramps we also recommend viewing the following publication: Wood Ramp Design: How to Add a Ramp That Looks Good and Works, Too (pdf version) http://www.ncsu.edu/ncsu/design/cud/pubs_p/docs/rampbooklet296final.pdf\n- ADA Accessibility Guidelines for Buildings and Facilities http://www.access-board.gov/guidelines-and-standards/buildings-and-sites\nHere are a few points to consider as you begin your ramp project.\nCommon Errors in Wheelchair Accessible Construction\n- Landing areas are too small. Wheelchair users must be able to stay on a flat, level surface and still open a door without rolling back into slopped sections of the ramp. This prevents roll offs. Adequate maneuvering clearance must be provided at all doors both in front and to the side.\n- Landing areas where ramps change directions, such as 90' turns or switch backs, are too small. Wheelchair users are unable to go up or down the ramp because they are unable to make the turn on a level surface. This makes the ramp unusable. Again, the minimum landing size should be 60 inches by 60 inches.\n- Improper door handles. Door handles, pulls, latches, locks, and other operating devices on doors at the top of a ramp (considered by the ADA as an \"Accessible door\" see ADA 4.13.9) must have an easy to grasp shape. It should be graspable with only one hand and not require tight grasping, pinching or twisting of the wrist to operate. Optimal hardware consists of lever-operated mechanisms, push type and U-shaped handles. If using a sliding door operating hardware MUST be exposed and useable on BOTH sides of the door.\n- Improper slope. ADA requires ramp slopes be 1:12. Twelve inches of horizontal slope for every inch of vertical rise. Example: If the level from the doorsill to the ground is 15 inches the ramp MUST be a minimum of 15 feet. When a walkway or other pedestrian surface has a slope of greater than 1:20, is more difficult to maintain control of a wheelchair. Wheelchair users may not be able to climb up the slope without having to use railings. Individuals using crutches, walkers or canes may loose their balance and falls may result.\n- Improper, or missing, railings. It is absolutely imperative that ramps be outfitted with proper railings or edge protection. Edger protection may be used for smaller, broader ramps, while those rising at steeper angles and longer distances will require railings. Lack of railings or edge protection can result in injury if a wheelchair user rolls off the side of the route. Individuals using walkers, canes and crutches may likewise suffer injuries from falls where railings are not present. Railings must be periodically checked to ensure they are intact and in good repair.\n- Ramp is too narrow. Most ramps should be no narrower than 36 inches. Allow space for manual wheelchair users to maneuver their hands on the OUTSIDE edges of their wheels.\n- Doorsill/Threshold is too high. Where possible doorsills should be an even transition from outside to inside. In some instances it may be necessary to countersink a doorsill. This will prevent tripping and allow wheelchair users easier roll over thresholds.\nThe following graphics are samples of a ramp proposal that was submitted as part of a grant application. Note the slope, safety features and overall design of the ramp. This project was approved for a state funded grant and built for the family shortly thereafter.", "label": "No"}

{"text": "Ho‘oponopono, or setting to right, is a method of interpersonal conflict resolution practiced in the traditional Native Hawaiian culture. As a highly collectivistic society, the Native Hawaiian community generally perceives interpersonal conflict as negative and to be avoided or ignored whenever possible. However, when interpersonal conflict between members of the community creates much distress for any of the parties involved or the community at large, ho‘oponopono is likely to be performed. Essentially, then, the overall goal of ho‘oponopono is not only to resolve interpersonal conflicts but also to restore a sense of togetherness and harmony among all members of the community.\nA third party, normally a respected elder of the community, serves as the facilitator. This elder is responsible for monitoring and controlling both the verbal and the nonverbal behaviors of the disputants as he or she guides them through an opening, discussion, resolution, and closing phase. In the opening phase, the facilitator typically says a prayer to bless the conflicting parties. He or she then encourages the disputants to conduct themselves in a sincere and truthful manner and may remind them about how the whole community has been affected by their discord. The elder then outlines the alleged problem and describes how ho‘oponopono will proceed.\nDuring the second phase, the discussion, the facilitator attempts to identify the source(s) of the problem. This phase is normally the most timeconsuming because family members and others who have been affected by the conflict may share their views at this juncture. As can be expected, this process of uncovering the cause(s) of the conflict can also be extremely emotional. Therefore, the elder must be able to steer all participants away from blaming and recrimination. Should tempers flare at this point, the leader would call for a period of silence to bring emotions under control. He or she would then remind participants of the purpose of ho‘oponopono and emphasize selfscrutiny over finding fault with others.\nIn the third phase, resolution, parties express sincere apologies and ask for forgiveness. It is important that forgiveness is granted, for this symbolizes a release from the ties of conflict and discord that linked the disputants. If forgiveness is not given, ho‘oponopono is not complete.\nLittlejohn, Stephen W and Karen A.Floss. (2009).

{"text": "Many learned to make two spaces behind a sentence in school, but you are not using a typewriter anymore, so just insert one space. Why space-space is a no-no? First of all, most typewriters used non-proportional fonts where every character is of the same width. For instance, consider a word like “skiing.” The lower-case i takes up the same space as the n. Having the two “i” after each other means there is a lot of white space. While reading, our minds separate sentences based on space between sentences. But, if there is an “m” at the end of a sentence, followed by another wide character, only separated by a period and one space, the resulting white space visually appears to be less than between two “i.” In other words, typewriter typefaces were designed in a way that all the characters occupy the same amount of space. These are so-called non-proportional fonts or monospaced typefaces (wide characters are squeezed; narrow characters are unnaturally wide). An example for such a monospace font is Courier. See the example below.\nHowever, practically all fonts used on computers are proportionally spaced typefaces, where the width of each character is customized to accommodate the natural shapes of the characters. As a result, the type sets more tightly, which makes word spaces stand out more. And, to conclude, this makes a single space after a sentence a sufficiently large white space, or visual cue, to separate two sentences. When I explain this I often hear that people understand this, but for them after decades of writing like this there is no way they can change the habit of adding an extra unnecessary space after a sentence.

{"text": "Clarke Rountree, University of Alabama in Huntsville\nWhile Burke examined the relationships among the terms of the pentad within a single pentadic set (i.e., a single \"act\"), a few rhetorical critics using pentadic criticism have noted grammatical relationships that cross between pentadic sets (multiple acts). Yet no one has theorized about those multipentadic relationships. This paper provides a basic explanation of how such multipentadic relationships work in strategic constructions, using many illustrations from public discourse.\nEVERYTHING IS CONNECTED TO EVERYTHING ELSE, AS THE TRUISM GOES. This idea is reflected in concepts such as \"the butterfly effect\" which describes how the most minor changes in a situation (e.g., a butterfly dying) can have unforeseen consequences in the future (given the connection of everything to everything else, in one way or another). The same concept of web-like relations appears in games like \"Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon,\" which plays on the philosophical concept of \"six degrees of separation,\" suggesting that people have connections through other people (either to Kevin Bacon's films or interpersonally to everyone else on the planet). That web of interconnectedness has at least two distinct dimensions: the causal connections that scientists focus upon and the human relations which cannot be reduced to mere causal relations. Of course scientists have tried to reduce human action to mere motion; however, as Kenneth Burke has noted, any such reduction loses what is unique about human action which, he insists, cannot be reduced to motion.\nWhen we try to explain something in the world, we necessarily carve out some segment of that web in the explanation. For example, if I provide a causal explanation of how I sunk the eight ball in the side pocket in a game of pool, I don't start with the origins of the materials that make up the billiard balls, cue sticks, and table; or the construction and placement of the table in my house, or what I had for breakfast that gave me the energy to hit the cue ball. I say something like: \"I kissed the side of the eight ball with my shot, nudging it into the corner pocket.\" Exactly what counts as relevant and proximate in such explanations is subject to debate, of course; but the whole idea of explaining circumscribes what is expected.\nWhen it comes to parsing webs of human relationships, Kenneth Burke has given us a conceptual framework. He suggests we distinguish particular acts and their corresponding agents, agencies, purposes, scenes, and, when useful, attitudes (on this last term, see Burke, Grammar, 443). That is, he tells us to look for what is done, who did it, how she or he did it, why, when, where, and in what manner. The pentadic terms and the questions they represent are grammatically connected to one another so that a pentadic set, or pentadic \"root\" (Birdsell), is formed that circumscribes relevant elements. For example, if I say, \"Jill drove John to the movies,\" I cannot say that the act of driving is something that John did, because Jill is the agent of that action in this construction. But if I am describing the action, I have the option of characterizing elements in a way that reduces Jill's agent role, such as saying, \"Jill, a student driver, drove her watchful father John to the movies.\"\nBurke was interested in the inventional resources available to rhetors in the construction of such actions. His A Grammar of Motives describes those resources and undergirds our understanding of the rhetoric of motives, where rhetors get to choose how to answer the pentadic questions with respect to a given construction of motives, stressing scene or agent or purpose or another term as dominant in accounting for motives in a given case. The relationships among the terms are considered in pairs, or ratios, to show how one element transforms our understanding of another. Thus, a scene may be shown to contain an act, an agency may be adapted to a purpose, a particular kind of agent may be said to be responsible for a corresponding kind of action (heroic, foolish, selfish, etc.), and so forth.\nWhile this Burkean account of action and its corresponding approach to rhetorical criticism is well known, I wish to build on Burke's theory and method to account for a common but much more complex rhetorical phenomenon: the construction and strategic connection of multiple pentadic sets. Because, as I have noted, everything is somehow connected to everything else (including different actions), it is unsurprising that rhetors often construct more than one act and place those distinct acts in relation to one another. To take a simple but fateful example: President George W. Bush said that President Saddam Hussein of Iraq was constructing weapons of mass destruction (Act 1, undertaken by Hussein), he announced that the United States was going to war to stop him (Act 2, undertaken by Bush), and he claimed that Act 1 created a dangerous scene that necessitated Act 2.\nTo distinguish these different acts, I will use the term \"pentadic sets,\" rather than Birdsell's \"pentadic roots,\" because, theoretically, the same act could be constructed by different rhetors who feature different roots. For example, the \"Do-Nothing\" Congress dominated by Republicans in President Obama's second term might construct legislation he is proposing by emphasizing who is proposing it (agent), while a supporter might emphasize what it tries to accomplish (purpose). Each side highlights a different root. A pentadic set, by contrast, emphasizes that particular grammatical constructions serve to distinguish unique acts that have their own grammatically-related terms covering scene, agent, agency, purpose, and attitude.\nOf course, as this paper will show, some of the terms of one pentadic set may be shared with different pentadic sets; however, no two pentadic sets will ever share all elements. Even the factory worker who makes the same widget day after day can be said to engage in different acts owing to the fact that, on different days, she will find herself in a different scene (a day later), a different agent (a day older, married between working days, changing party affiliations), and may have a different attitude (one day happy another sad) or may use a slightly different agency (a new wrench), etc.\nAlthough rhetorical scholars have examined particular inter-pentadic constructions before, they have said very little about the practice in general. This essay theorizes such constructions with respect to actions that are connected for rhetorical purposes. It illustrates the forms that connections between acts may take and explains why they are rhetorically powerful. And it considers the need for rhetorical critics to take notice of this form of motive construction.\nGrammars of Motives\nBurke only hints at connections across different pentadic sets in A Grammar of Motives. For example, in discussing Eugene O'Neill's play, Mourning Becomes Electra, he notes: \"When Lavinia instructs Seth to nail fast the shutters and throw out the flowers, by her command (an act) she brings it about that the scene corresponds to her state of mind. But as soon as these scenic changes have taken place, they in turn become the motivating principle of her subsequent conduct [i.e., additional acts]\" (9-10). Burke's focus in the Grammar on providing a basic explanation of the pentadic terms and their connection in discourses about action (including much of the Western canon!) did not lead him to examine more generally how such acts may be related to another.\nRhetorical critics employing Burke's pentad have occasionally considered the relationships that prevail among different acts described by rhetors. For example, in his classic analysis of Senator Edward Kennedy's tragic accident at Chappaquiddick and its aftermath, David Ling describes two pentadic sets connected by Kennedy. The first involves the accident and Kennedy's subsequent actions, where a narrow, poorly lit bridge over cold, rushing water is blamed for the accident, for Kennedy's inability to save his passenger, Mary Jo Kopechne, and for Kennedy's disorientation, which, he urged, led to a failure to report the accident for eight hours. As Ling notes, Kennedy invokes the scene as controlling his actions. But, after recounting this construction, Kennedy puts his future into the hands of the people of Massachusetts, asking them to decide (in this second act) whether his actions warranted a decision that he remain in office representing them. Kennedy's constituents, in other words, were asked to act in a new scene in which their senator might be viewed in a different light. To the extent that he constructed his disoriented action as beyond his control, perhaps he could be forgiven and allowed to continue to serve the State of Massachusetts. (It also did not hurt that the agency of supporting or rejecting Kennedy was weak, involving sending letters of support or rejection to the Senator or, perhaps, to the local newspaper; and he was the ultimate judge of whether the State had \"spoken\" and what they \"said.\")\nColleen E. Kelley also conducted a study of a politician in trouble which looked at multiple pentadic sets. Congressman George Hansen of Idaho was constructed by the media as a crook after he was charged and convicted for filing false financial reports. But he managed to use that conviction as evidence of a federal conspiracy against him to win reelection. Kelley does not explicitly discuss the connections between the two other than indicating how the media's construction of Hansen required him to respond to a scene within which he was viewed by many as corrupt. She does show that he did so by actually using his conviction as a campaign point to demonstrate that the government wanted to get rid of him because he was crusading against it.\nDavid S. Birdsell looked at two different acts constructed by Ronald Reagan following the deadly suicide bombing of over two hundred U.S. Marines in Beirut, Lebanon and his subsequent decision to invade the tiny Caribbean nation of Grenada. Birdsell notes that the two acts were framed differently, but were reconciled by Reagan \"in the context of his elliptical remarks on foreign policy at the end of the speech\" (267-68). Birdsell's analysis of Reagan's constructions was \"complex and 'layered,' featuring a different pentadic 'root' for each portion of the speech.\"\nMy own work has featured some of the most complex constructions of multiple, related pentadic sets. In my analysis of the U.S. Supreme Court's Japanese internment case, Korematsu v. United States, I argued that \"[t]he chief rhetorical work of the judicial opinion…is to embody and characterize actions\" (Rountree, \"Instantiating 'the Law'\" 3-4). Among the most important of the characterized actions are constitutions (enactments of their founders), laws (acts of legislatures), precedents (acts of former courts), acts of litigants (such as the crimes they are alleged to have committed), and the acts of the government (e.g., law enforcement officers, prosecutors, regulators, etc.). Embodied actions, I argued, are those of judges handing down opinions. They must appear judge-like, speaking to the law, to justice, and (for appellate courts) to future interpreters of law (who may cite them). I extended my discussion of judicial constructions of action in a book on the Bush v. Gore decision, which ended the recount of presidential ballots in the 2000 election, awarding the presidency to George W. Bush (Rountree, Judging the Supreme Court). I showed how majority, concurring, and dissenting opinions connected a wide array of actions (by the Founding Fathers, the Florida Legislature, the Florida Supreme Court, the U.S. Congress, and others) to construct their disparate views of what law, justice, and good precedent requires.\nNone of this work, including my own, has grappled more generally with what is involved when distinct pentadic sets are constructed by rhetors and connected. This paper seeks to remedy that.\nConstructions of Relationships between Acts\nThe most common way relationships are constructed between different acts is through a terministic bridge connecting two acts. That is, the first act constructs an element that becomes a scene, agent, agency, purpose, or attitude in a second act. Such terministic connections across pentadic sets may be very complex and rhetorically sophisticated. I will illustrate the terministic possibilities for each of the pentad's \"bridging\" terms.\nOne of the most common inter-pentadic constructions involves a first act that creates a scene to which a second act must respond. American foreign policy is built around the idea that we only engage in defensive wars—wars ironically pursued in the name of peace. I have noted the example of President George W. Bush's invasion of Iraq before, where he constructed Iraq's actions as threatening and the U.S. response as defensive and reasonable. Another example comes from President Bill Clinton's decision to launch air strikes against the same country in 1998. Clinton's scenic justification was crucial because he was embroiled in the Monica Lewinsky scandal at the time and critics saw the strikes as an attempt to distract the country from his problems. In a nationally-televised address on December 16, 1998, Clinton showed how actions by Iraq's leader, Saddam Hussein, created a scene that required action:\nSix weeks ago, Saddam Hussein announced that he would no longer cooperate with the United Nations weapons inspectors, called UNSCOM. They're highly professional experts from dozens of countries. Their job is to oversee the elimination of Iraq's capability to retain, create, and use weapons of mass destruction, and to verify that Iraq does not attempt to rebuild that capability. The inspectors undertook this mission, first, seven and a half years ago, at the end of the Gulf War, when Iraq agreed to declare and destroy its arsenal as a condition of the cease-fire.\nClinton noted that Hussein had used WMD before, on his own people, \"not once but repeatedly, unleashing chemical weapons against Iranian troops during a decade-long war, not only against soldiers, but against civilians.\" Given Hussein's actions and his past history, the world was faced with a dangerous scene, Clinton urged:\nThis situation presents a clear and present danger to the stability of the Persian Gulf and the safety of people everywhere. The international community gave Saddam one last chance to resume cooperation with the weapons inspectors. Saddam has failed to seize the chance. And so we had to act, and act now.\nThat action, he explained, involved \"a strong, sustained series of air strikes against Iraq. They are designed to degrade Saddam's capacity to develop and deliver weapons of mass destruction, and to degrade his ability to threaten his neighbors.\" Thus, Hussein's earlier actions created a scene that contained Clinton's act of ordering air strikes to change that dangerous scene.\nAnother act frequently citing as changing the scene for future actions was the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. Those attacks came several months after the most contested presidential election in U.S. history in which a bloc of the five most conservative justices on the United States Supreme Court ordered that the state of Florida stop recounting ballots that might have given Vice President Al Gore a victory in the 2000 presidential election. George W. Bush's inauguration was so controversial that for the first time in history the Secret Service declared the ceremony a \"National Special Security Event,\" which required anyone attending the inauguration to have permission from the government (Greenfield, 298). Bush entered the White House as an agent whose presidential legitimacy was in question.\nHowever, after the attacks of 9/11, his agent status changed. As Mark Miller, writing for the National Review, noted:\n[A]ll questions of legitimacy suddenly vanished. In an instant, the controversy over hanging chads came to seem remote and inconsequential. The warnings about the stability of the American constitutional order were rendered utterly beside the point as the country absorbed far greater blows and survived with its constitutional integrity intact.\nThus, Miller argues, the terrorists' acts changed the scene; that scene altered our understanding of agent Bush from one of questionable legitimacy to a well-supported commander-in-chief who was then able to wield his authority boldly in subsequent acts of retribution against our attackers and those who harbored them.\nAs Burke has pointed out, agents and acts are related through a status-actus relationship, whereby who one is determines what one will do. Thus, a hero does heroic acts. Of course the reverse is true as well: acts establish who someone is. Thus, an otherwise nondescript pilot, Captain Chesley \"Sully\" Sullenberger, became a \"hero\" in January 2009 after making a successful emergency landing on the Hudson River when his U.S. Airways jet was hobbled by geese sucked into the jet's engines. Subsequent to this heroic deed, Sullenberger was chosen to be the Grand Marshall of the Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasadena, California in 2010. In that act of serving as Grand Marshall, Sullenberg appears as the hero leading the parade (rather than as an ordinary United Airways pilot)—an appropriately prominent figure to lead off this annual event.\nPrior actions can cut both ways, however. When President Bill Clinton was accused of having an affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky, constructions of his prior alleged infidelities (with Gennifer Flowers, Kathleen Willey, and Paula Jones) characterized him as a \"womanizer,\" making his alleged affair with Lewinsky seem more probable (through an agent-act relationship).\nPatrick J. Buchanan, who failed to win the Republican nomination for president in 1992 after running against a sitting Republican president, nonetheless spoke at his party nomination convention. And he used a contrast of past acts of Republican George H. W. Bush and Democrat Bill Clinton to explain what kind of agents they are and, thereby, what kind of presidents they would be. He argued:\nAn American President has many roles. He is our first diplomat, the architect of American foreign policy. And which of these two men is more qualified for that great role? George Bush has been U.N. Ambassador, Director of the CIA, envoy to China. As Vice President, George Bush co-authored and cosigned the policies that won the Cold War. As President, George Bush presided over the liberation of Eastern Europe and the termination of the Warsaw Pact. And what about Mr. Clinton? Well, Bill Clinton—Bill Clinton couldn't find 150 words to discuss foreign policy in an acceptance speech that lasted almost an hour. You know, as was said—as was said of another Democratic candidate, Bill Clinton's foreign policy experience is pretty much confined to having had breakfast once at the International House of Pancakes.\nBuchanan's description of Bush's past acts (many of them being something, serving in a role) suggested that Bush would be better on foreign policy (a future act).\nAgencies may be technologies, methods, policies, laws, rules of thumb, ethical codes, protocols, how-to manuals, or other types of means for doing things. In the case of technologies, their creation is an act that provides a physical means for undertaking action. For example, Alexander Graham Bell's invention of the telephone was an act making possible subsequent acts of talking on the telephone. However, it is rare that a rhetor would want to refer back to that act (except perhaps on the anniversary of the telephone's invention). But such references are not as rare as you might imagine. Consider David Pogue's review of Apple Corporation's new iPad in the New York Times:\nAt least Apple had the decency to give the iPad a really fast processor. Things open fast, scroll fast, load fast. Surfing the Web is a heck of a lot better than on the tiny iPhone screen—first, because it's so fast, and second, because you don't have to do nearly as much zooming and panning.\nBut as any Slashdot.org reader can tell you, the iPad can't play Flash video. Apple has this thing against Flash, the Web's most popular video format; says it's buggy, it's not secure and depletes the battery. Well, fine, but meanwhile, thousands of Web sites show up with empty white squares on the iPad—places where videos or animations are supposed to play.\nHere Pogue speaks of what Apple did in building the iPad (it \"had the decency to give the iPad a really fast processor\") then turns to what iPad users subsequently do in using the iPad (surfing the web fast; seeing empty white squares on Flash websites). Their inventional act yielded an agency that is a means for subsequent user actions—in Pogue's view, an unnecessarily compromised one.\nIn the case of symbolic agencies, such as codes, laws, protocols, and the like, rhetorical constructions may suggest that their development, rationale, or purposes require them to be used as guides to present action in a particular way. For example, Abraham Lincoln's \"Cooper Union Address\" spoke of what the Founding Fathers believed in the past about the control of slavery in territories in order to suggest that the U.S. Constitution was a legal instrument that permitted the federal government to regulate slavery in the territories. For example, he notes:\nIn 1787, still before the Constitution, but while the Convention was in session framing it, and while the Northwestern Territory still was the only territory owned by the United States, the same question of prohibiting slavery in the territory again came before the Congress of the Confederation; and two more of the \"thirty-nine\" who afterward signed the Constitution, were in that Congress, and voted on the question. They were William Blount and William Few; and they both voted for the prohibition—thus showing that, in their understanding, no line dividing local from federal authority, nor anything else, properly forbids the Federal Government to control as to slavery in Federal territory. This time the prohibition became a law, being part of what is now well known as the Ordinance of '87.\nFrom this and similar evidence of what the Founding Father's intended, Lincoln draws an agency for present legislative action, insisting:\nI do not mean to say we are bound to follow implicitly in whatever our fathers did. To do so, would be to discard all the lights of current experience—to reject all progress—all improvement. What I do say is, that if we would supplant the opinions and policy of our fathers in any case, we should do so upon evidence so conclusive, and argument so clear, that even their great authority, fairly considered and weighed, cannot stand; and most surely not in a case whereof we ourselves declare they understood the question better than we.\nAs I noted previously, judicial opinions are replete with references to precedents, whose \"holdings\" are agencies that they claim to follow (another court's means becoming its own means of action). But, anywhere rules, holdings, codes, and the like are invoked, we tether together two acts through an agency bridge.\nPurposes may be derived from religious texts, planning documents, corporate charters, lists of personal goals, or other ends-related sources. Thus, the Christian who proclaims she will join Doctors without Borders to help victims of the Syrian civil war, for \"God's purposes,\" may construct religious texts, a \"calling\" she felt, an admonition from a spiritual leader, or another source to explain that this is where her purpose of helping the downtrodden originated. CEOs of Wall Street firms that took incredible risks with exotic financial instruments that led to the Great Recession may point to stockholder meetings where they received a demand to increase profits.\nSusan B. Anthony invoked constitutional purposes in defending her present right to vote in an election in Rochester, New York. In defending herself from the charge of having illegally registered to vote, she noted:\nThe preamble of the Federal Constitution says:\n\"We, the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.\"\nShe interpreted what these words meant in noting:\nIt was we, the people; not we, the white male citizens; nor yet we, the male citizens; but we, the whole people, who formed the Union. And we formed it, not to give the blessings of liberty, but to secure them; not to the half of ourselves and the half of our posterity, but to the whole people—women as well as men.\nHaving established that \"we\" meant everyone, males and females, and that the central purpose of the constitution was to secure the \"blessings of liberty,\" she builds on that established purpose to infer a means adapted to that end for present-day women such as her, insisting: \"And it is a downright mockery to talk to women of their enjoyment of the blessings of liberty while they are denied the use of the only means of securing them provided by this democratic-republican government—the ballot.\"\nRichard Nixon used others to construct his purposes in his 1952 bid to become Dwight D. Eisenhower's vice president. He had been accused of misusing $18,000 in political contributions. He retorted: \"Not one cent of the 18,000 dollars or any other money of that type ever went to me for my personal use. Every penny of it was used to pay for political expenses that I did not think should be charged to the taxpayers of the United States.\" He cited an independent audit by the accounting firm Gibson, Dunn, & Crutcher, reading their statement:\nIt is our conclusion that Senator Nixon did not obtain any financial gain from the collection and disbursement of the fund by Dana Smith; that Senator Nixon did not violate any federal or state law by reason of the operation of the fund; and that neither the portion of the fund paid by Dana Smith directly to third persons, nor the portion paid to Senator Nixon, to reimburse him for designated office expenses, constituted income to the Senator which was either reportable or taxable as income under applicable tax laws.\nHere, an act of auditing constructs a purpose for Nixon: using campaign contributions for things other than personal expenditures. Nixon constructs the audit as objective and credible. The audit yielded a purpose for Nixon's use of the money (or at least rejected a questionable purpose); that purpose, in turn, becomes the centerpiece of Nixon's construction of his own actions in taking and using those political contributions.\nPrior acts may create attitudes that can bleed over into constructions of subsequent acts, shaping them. For example, unfair or tyrannical actions by a manager may lead to low morale on the part of his employees; that negative attitude may spill over into subsequent actions by those employees. On an individual level, an act may lead an agent to love, hate, envy, or have some other significant attitude towards another person; that, in turn, may be said to shape subsequent actions towards that person.\nLike many sharp-tongued political speakers, Texas Governor Ann Richards sought to shape attitudes towards her party's opponent. Vice President George H. W. Bush was running against Democrat Michael Dukakis in 1988 and Richards skewered him at the Democratic National Convention. She argued:\n[F]or eight straight years George Bush hasn't displayed the slightest interest in anything we care about.\nAnd now that he's after a job that he can't get appointed to, he's like Columbus discovering America. He's found child care. He's found education.\nPoor George. He can't help it—he was born with a silver foot in his mouth.\nRichards constructs Bush as disinterested in voter's needs, spoiled, and a poor speaker. She creates attitudes of disdain and, sarcastically, pity (with \"Poor George\"). The attitudes towards a presidential candidate are generally incompatible with supporting that agent's candidacy.\nEven the hub of action—act itself—can be said to connect to a previous act. For acts that are constructed as emulating or following previous acts, this may involve some kind of precedent. This is most obvious in the law, where prior cases lay down a pattern for subsequent cases. This connection might be limited to an agency link, where a prior case's \"holding\" becomes the legal means for resolving the subsequent case, as I suggested in the discussion of agency above. But, it is not always this simple. Often, the agents, scenes, purposes, and even attitudes of a previous act are invoked, so that a complex matching of one act to the other is a more accurate description. Consider Justice Sandra Day O'Connor's dissent in Kelo v. City of New London, an infamous case in which eminent domain was invoked to take the modest homes of residents along a river and give them to a development corporation to help the city's economic fortunes. The majority claimed that prior cases allowed economic development as a justification for such takings. O'Connor distinguished two key precedents, insisting:\nThe Court's holdings in Berman and Midkiff were true to the principle underlying the Public Use Clause [of the Fifth Amendment]. In both those cases, the extraordinary, precondemnation use of the targeted property inflicted affirmative harm on society—in Berman through blight resulting from extreme poverty and in Midkiff through oligopoly resulting from extreme wealth. And in both cases, the relevant legislative body had found that eliminating the existing property use was necessary to remedy the harm. (464-65)Thus, O'Connor invokes scene (harmful), agency (eliminating property), purpose (remedying a harm), and agent (legislature) in constructing what it meant to \"follow\" those precedents. Here a well-fleshed-out first act informs what the court should do in its subsequent act.\nOther acts are invoked because they provide comparisons for critics or analysts of other acts. For example, past state of the union addresses might be compared to a current one (e.g., Barack Obama versus his predecessor, George W. Bush), past sports records may compared to current ones (Barry Bonds versus Roger Maris on the number of homeruns hit in a season), past acts of government action versus current actions (George W. Bush on Hurricane Katrina versus Barack Obama on the Gulf oil spill), and so forth. During political campaigns, comparisons of candidates' records to their opponents are common, stressing the contrast. As I have noted previously, hypothetical acts may be constructed by rhetors (Rountree, \"Judicial Invention\" 59-60) providing opportunities for comparing two competing proposed actions (e.g., taxing carbon emissions versus creating a cap and trade system for carbon credit), comparing an existing action with a proposed action (e.g., existing financial regulations versus proposed regulations), or a past action with a proposed action (e.g., putting a moratorium on capital punishment in the past and perhaps in the future). Rhetors may even compare fictional, mythical, or historical accounts of actions to present or future actions (such as when Christian children are told to treat others as \"the Good Samaritan\" did).\nThese are but a few of the ways in which acts can be connected. Stokely Carmichael provides a completely different approach in his speech, \"Black Power,\" from October 1966. He references recent killings of three \"Freedom Riders\" in Mississippi:\nOn a more immediate scene, the officials and the population—the white population—in Neshoba County, Mississippi—that's where Philadelphia is—could not—could not condemn [Sheriff] Rainey, his deputies, and the other fourteen men that killed three human beings. They could not because they elected Mr. Rainey to do precisely what he did; and that for them to condemn him will be for them to condemn themselves.\nHow does he explain the failure of whites in Neshoba Country to condemn the killings of the civil rights activists? Through their earlier act of voting in a sheriff for the purpose of maintaining Jim Crow through any means necessary. That earlier action (with its racist purpose) shapes present action (or inaction) so that \"for them to condemn [the sheriff] will be for them to condemn themselves.\" What they did in the past is connected to what they will not do in the present (a hypothetical act that one might expect to follow from the murders).\nRhetorical Advantages of Constructing Multiple Acts\nTo understand the advantages to rhetors of constructing multiple acts we must begin by considering the advantages of constructing any act. Generally, we see the construction of an act as an effort to portray the act in a particular way. For example, if I am a politician I show that my acts are good and noble and beneficial, while the acts of my opponents are bad and selfish and harmful. If I am a defense attorney I show that the acts of my client were innocent, while the prosecutor shows that they are guilty. If I am a critic I show that the acts of those I would praise are praiseworthy and those I would censure are blameworthy.\nRhetors also construct acts to shape our understanding of those acts, their agents, their scenes, their agencies, their purposes, or their attitudes. A politician may tell the story of a brutal murder to convince voters that they live in a dangerous world. If he emphasizes that the murder was committed by an illegal immigrant, he may be suggesting that immigration policies (an agency of government action) are not working. If he stresses the easily-obtained handgun that was used in the murder, perhaps he is suggesting that our gun laws are flawed. If he emphasizes where the murder took place, perhaps he is segmenting a city into \"good\" and \"bad\" neighborhoods. If he emphasizes the brutality of the murder, perhaps he is warning about a new attitude of reckless disregard for human life in our culture.\nAs Burke has shown, rhetorical constructions of motives work within the grammar of motives, drawing upon the power of act, scene, agent, agency, purpose, and attitude. Because of the grammatical relationships between each term, the characterization of one term will affect our understanding of them all; thus, there are limits to what a rhetor can do in constructing motives, since pulling a construction one way limits how far the other terms can be pulled in another direction. So, for example, as Ling has shown, Senator Edward Kennedy relied on scene to explain his failure to report the deadly accident at Chappaquiddick in a timely manner. But, having constructed himself as an agent victimized by a scene where a narrow, unlit bridge over cold, swiftly moving water led to an accident and the near drowning of the junior senator from Massachusetts, Kennedy could not promise voters that he was a heroic figure capable of overcoming all obstacles (since he obviously had succumbed to one in a moment of crisis). Kennedy sacrificed a better agent construction to explain his action, hurting his image as a candidate in subsequent presidential races, where Chappaquiddick was regularly invoked to question his presidential timbre.\nWhen rhetors construct more than one act, they increase their inventional opportunities. Consider the Iraq War example from above: Bush could play within the grammar of motives of his \"Saddam Hussein is developing weapons of mass destruction\" pentadic set (playing up agency, such as the report that Iraq had bought yellowcake from Africa), then use that to bolster his \"The U.S. needs to invade Iraq\" pentadic set. The Bill Clinton critic could draw on the most credible acts of alleged infidelity by the former Arkansas governor, then use that construction of Clinton as a \"womanizer\" to conclude, \"Of course he had an affair with Monica Lewinsky!\"\nJudges are among the most sophisticated rhetors constructing multiple acts. In the Kelo case cited earlier, the Supreme Court's majority opinion constructed the Berman and Midkiff precedents cited by Justice O'Connor (Acts A and B) to support their construction of the U.S. Constitution's Fifth Amendment \"Takings\" clause (Act C, undertaken by the founding fathers) and applied that construction their own act of allowing New London, Connecticut to seize the property of home owners (Act D). They also noted that such takings were permitted by Connecticut law (Act E, by the state's legislature). It was obviously useful for the court to construct the Constitution, federal statutes, and state statutes as supporting their own action in deciding this controversial case. Such constructions build a web of inter-pentadic relationships around judges, entangling their decision strategically to \"force\" their hand in acting. Once the groundwork is done, they can simply proclaim: \"I was following the law in handing down this decision.\"\nAnother advantage of rhetoric that draws upon the power of the grammar of motives is that it can be indirect, subtle, and sophisticated. The woman who wants to get her sister to stop dating some guy doesn't have to come right out and say, \"He's a womanizer\"; instead, she can say, \"I think I saw Joe's car when I passed the strip club last night.\" This scenic reference does the rhetorical work of constructing the agent as a womanizer by (grammatical) implication.\nGiven grammatical relationships between different acts, such rhetorical strategies can be quite sophisticated, deployed the way a chess master sets up the board several moves ahead to prepare the way to spring a trap. As I have argued elsewhere, the NAACP's Legal Defense Fund deployed a sophisticated, long-term strategy to put in place the elements for overturning the \"separate but equal\" doctrine laid down in Plessy v. Ferguson (Rountree, \"Setting the Stage\"). They worked for forty years to develop litigants, litigators, receptive courts, and precedents. They strategically focused on cases where African-American applicants to state graduate schools had been rejected solely because of their race. That allowed them to sidestep problems in public K-12 schools, where states could argue that, indeed, black schools were equal to white schools. There were no graduate schools for blacks in segregated states, so \"separate\" could not be \"equal.\" A 1914 precedent established that states could not simply argue that too few black students wanted graduate degrees making it economically unfeasible, because the High Court found, equal accommodations is an individual right (McCabe v. Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe R. Co.). When states began to throw together graduate programs for a handful of black students, it was easy to show that these extremely limited programs (limited in faculty, resources, course offerings, etc.) were not equal to those of hundred-year-old, esteemed programs such as that at the University of Texas Law School (Sweatt v. Painter). Constructions of state acts of not providing graduate education, of providing poorer education to African Americans, and of showing racial animus in these efforts, were easy to develop by the LDF's lawyers, setting the stage for a reversal of Plessy's doctrine for all public schools in Brown v. Board of Education.\nThis last example adds an interesting twist to the construction of multiple acts: that rhetors may actually become involved in creating the acts, scenes, agents, agencies, purposes, and attitudes they later construct, doing things that materially change conditions that they later would invoke symbolically. As I have noted elsewhere, Burke accounts for such nonsymbolic strategies coupled with the symbolic in his discussion of Machievelli's \"administrative rhetoric\" in A Rhetoric of Motives, noting: \"[t]he persuasion cannot be confined to the strictly verbal; it is a mixture of symbolism and definite empirical operations\" (158). I illustrated this form of rhetoric with President George H. W. Bush's rhetorical strategy to move the United States to war against Iraq's occupation of Kuwait in 1990-1991 (Rountree, \"Building up to War\").\nBush already had sent 100,000 troops to Saudi Arabia to prevent Iraq from moving its invasion into the territory of this oil-rich U.S. ally. But Congress was balking at Bush's plans to move from a defensive force to an offensive force and place American troops into combat. Senator Sam Nunn, the Democrat from Georgia who chaired the Senate Armed Services Committee, favored giving time for sanctions to work. Bush's strategic move was to wait for Congress to recess and then to order a doubling of the troops in case an offensive force was needed. Grammatically, Bush's actions changed the scene dramatically: members of Congress heard complaints as National Guardsmen were called up to service for an unknown period. News stories of mothers in the Guard separated from their young children played up the sacrifices, placing pressure on Congress to do something. But Bush's actions had upped the ante in the war and made backing down nearly impossible. As former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger told \"This Week with David Brinkley\": \"Once 200,000 troops were sent there, we could not withdraw these troops without achieving our objectives without a collapse of our entire position in the Islamic world and the high probability of a much more damaging war.\"\nBy the time Bush addressed Congress in January 1991 to ask for their approval to engage in war with Iraq, the table had been set. He could describe a scene he himself had created as one requiring action.\nDeveloping scenes that one later invokes is one possibility. Rhetors also can create agencies, such as weapons to be used later or precedents to be invoked; they can create purposes, as JFK did in calling for a mission to the moon; they can establish agents, such as appointing people to positions where they are poised for action; they can help create attitudes, as Reagan did over years in calling \"big government\" our biggest problem; and they can engage in, or encourage others to engage in, acts that may be invoked as precedents, examples, counter-examples, and so forth. Bringing such administrative rhetoric into the mix opens to the door to some complex and often long-term strategies of persuasion.\nI have argued in this journal previously that Burke's pentad offers a literal description of how humans think about action, insisting: \"No recognizably human society ever existed that was not able to draw the distinctions we draw in answering the questions Who, What, When, Where, How, and Why. In other words, these questions and the answers they call for are universal in human societies\" (Rountree, \"Revisiting the Controversy\"). If I am correct, then how we think and talk about action necessarily works within the grammar of motives described by Burke. Thus, if rhetorical critics want to understand the logic undergirding the strategic constructions of motives that pervade human discourse, such analyses should yield an understanding of the inventional possibilities of the rhetoric of motives.\nEven if we set aside my position that Burke's grammar of motives is universal, we at least should concede its heuristic value in framing analyses of particular constructions of action. Whether our use of Who, What, When, Where, How, and Why is implicit in the very idea of action or not, these questions undeniably pervade and usefully frame our discussions of action, as this essay has illustrated through a variety of texts.\nOf course identifying the grammar invoked by a particular discourse alone is only a starting point for rhetorical analysis. What Anderson and Prelli call \"pentadic mapping\" reveals the structures of meaning in talk about action, showing that some discourses are privileged while others are marginalized. It is for the critic to explain why it matters that it is easier to talk and interpret some ways than others, whether that involves ideological hegemonies, muted voices and groups, preferred ontologies, favored constructions of knowledge, or something else. Pentadic mapping may ferret out more than strategic constructions of motives, getting at language practices that think for their users, leading them \"logologically\" through the verbal telos of a terministic screen of which they may scarcely be aware.\nFor those of us who are interested in strategic rhetoric, pentadic analysis reveals inventional choices and the constraints placed upon those who would lead us to view particular actions in particular ways. As I have suggested here, those choices and constraints become much more complex when more than one pentadic set is constructed. But, again, to identify those choices and constraints is the starting point for rhetorical analysis, rather than the end of it. So, for example, I show above (and in much of my research) that appellate courts strategically construct lots of acts in their judicial opinions; the rhetorical benefit, as I note above, is that constructions of such acts (including laws, constitutions, lower-court decisions, precedents, etc.) serve to constrain the appellate court's decision making, \"forcing\" their decision to \"follow the law\" rather than their own personal predilections (which unelected judges are supposed to avoid). That is, judges forge legal manacles for themselves, allowing them to claim that they are chained to the law and, as a result, that their conclusions are inevitable. Other rhetors also fashion \"outside\" acts to detract responsibility for their actions, such as in the war examples I note above where the (constructed) scene is said to constrain presidential action.\nThe examples I use in this paper of the ways in which rhetors strategically connect different acts stress their efforts to limit the ways their audiences are likely to interpret actions. That is not to say that their efforts will succeed, since language is normally flexible enough to yield different meanings. However, effective constructions suggest a preferred reading, closing the \"universe of discourse\" as Anderson and Prelli might say. Some preferred readings are quite closed, as I noted in the opening example of Jill driving John to the movies, where it becomes difficult to say that Jill is not the agent of the \"driving\" action.\nOn the other hand, as I pointed out in my essay \"Coming to Terms with Kenneth Burke's Pentad,\" differences in interpretation are to be expected in light of cultural differences in audiences (and, I would add now, in personal and other differences as well). In particular, my essay distinguished those differences as reflecting general and specific dimensions of pentadic relations, noting: \"General dimensions are described and amply illustrated by Burke in his Grammar of Motives: The scene 'contains' the act; means (agencies) are adapted to ends (purposes); agents are the 'authors' of their actions; and so forth.\" In contrast,\nSpecific dimensions of terministic relations are normative, established by a discourse community's shared beliefs about \"what goes with what\" at a given point in time, underlying expectations that one will or should find certain types of agents engaging in certain types of actions, using certain agencies, within certain scenes, for certain purposes, evincing certain attitudes.For example, in the United States of the early 19th century, women were not thought of as public speakers. As Karlyn Kohrs Campbell notes: \"Quite simply, in nineteenth-century America, femininity and rhetorical action were seen as mutually exclusive. No 'true woman' could be a public persuader\" (9-10). Yet, as I write this in 2016, Hillary Rodham Clinton is crisscrossing the country in her bid for President of the United States. The interpretation of which agents can do what has changed. While there is some lingering anti-woman sentiment in the electorate, the shock and novelty that abolitionist Angelina Grimké confronted on the public stage in the 1830s is gone. Culture matters to the construction of motives, whether those cultural differences derive from changing times or divergent audiences.\nBeyond such specific terministic relations, words themselves can be vague, ambiguous, or freighted, leading audiences to interpret motive constructions differently than a rhetor intends. And, of course, there is the problem of the world itself threatening to impinge on a rhetor's constructions—Burke's recalcitrance. For example, 2016 Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has repeatedly claimed that he never supported the Iraq War that began in 2003. A recording of him with talk show host Howard Stern in September 2002 shows that he did support the invasion, rather unenthusiastically. What many fact checkers have called a lie has apparently been dismissed or ignored by many of Trump's supporters who do not care about the lie or who take his own construction at face value (Caroll and Greenberg).\nConstructions of motives, like other rhetorical discourses, always are shaped and understood in view of the communication situations where they are deployed. While analyses of the grammar of motives in particular statements about action can be quite rigorous—explaining general and specific dimensions of the relationships among pentadic terms and revealing rhetorical opportunities and constraints—the rhetorical work those motive constructions perform in a given case take the critic's analysis beyond the comforts of the speech transcript or the written appellate court opinion. Indeed, if we assume that visual images can be part of a text, as Blankenship and her colleagues did in studying Ronald Reagan's television image as one element of the construction of motives, the analysis can get quite messy. Going one step further, as I have suggested, to scrutinize changes in the material condition strategically wrought by far-seeing rhetors opens a whole new context-as-text to the rhetorical critic. Small wonder that rhetorical critics using the pentad have typically focused on words on a page in a relatively contained rhetorical act, such as a single speech.\nCertainly there are justifications, beyond a critic's comfort, for such a focus. In my own work on U.S. Supreme Court opinions, the words of their written opinions carry the greatest rhetorical impact in most cases, telling litigants, lower courts, their own bench's future membership, and the public at large what the law is and why they think it is what they say it is. But facing up to the challenges of rhetorical analysis should remind critics—including those using what otherwise seems a straightforward and simple pentadic method—that teasing out what is interesting in rhetorical discourse is hard work. As this essay has argued, even analyzing a contained text can be complicated when multiple acts are constructed.\nOf course not all rhetors engage in inter-pentadic constructions of motives. And even if they do, they do not always open up a prior pentadic set for significant grammatical construction. They may simply select a prior act as an example, counter-example, illustration, and so forth, without deploying the power of the grammar to construe it this way or that. However, when rhetors do take advantage of the connections between everything, they have the opportunity to work within more than one grammatical relationship to yield a relationship between acts that is sometimes easy and obvious but occasionally cunning and stealthy. Indeed, they may even engage in material actions that set the stage for those later constructions, either felicitously or strategically. Rhetorical critics ought to take note of such inter-pentadic constructions to better account for the rhetoric of motives. And rhetorical theorists might take this essay as a prolegomena to the study of the forms such inter-pentadic relations may take and the functions they serve.\n* An earlier version of this essay was presented to the Eighth Triennial Kenneth Burke Conference in Clemson, South Carolina in May, 2011.\nAnthony, Susan B. \"Women's Right to Suffrage.\" Rochester and surrounding areas. 1873.

{"text": "According to University College Dublin’s Patrick Wall, the future of the agri-food industry is good. However, according to Wall, who spoke at the food breakout session of Alltech’s recent Symposium, consumers must be confident that the industry provides safe, healthy, and sustainable food products for growth to continue.\nWall explained that misconceptions about food production are damaging to markets in the agri-food industry. Due to bad practices of a handful of poor operators within the industry, a disconnect exists between humans and modern agriculture. People often have negative perceptions of the industry and think of modern agriculture as “factory agriculture.”\nPoorly handled food contamination incidents also turn people away from markets in the agri-food sector. Wall cited an E.coli scare initially attributed to Spanish cucumbers as an example. Though the cucumbers were not the source of the outbreak, the incident still caused the end of the entire Spanish cucumber harvest in 2011.\nThe spread of inaccurate information about food production and contamination incidents occurs faster than ever with social media. Wall reminded attendees of the negative effects on Beef Products Inc. after the spread of YouTube clips containing Jamie Oliver’s declaration of lean finely textured beef as “pink slime.”\nIn addition to fighting misconceptions, the agri-food industry must also promote the healthy nature of its products. As Wall explained, if you are in the agriculture business, you are actually in the human health business. Diet is a major determinant of health, and the dietary needs of humans differ with life stage. Using genetics and nutrition, the agri-food industry can make its products even healthier and fight current health issues like globesity, the term the World Health Organization uses to describe the global obesity epidemic.", "label": "No"}
{"text": "Live notes at the eResearch seminar by Roger Canals (Universitat de Barcelona) and Juan Ignacio Robles (Universidad Autónoma de Madrid) entitled Visual methods: Knowledge production and ways of representation. Universitat Oberta de Catalunya, Barcelona, Spain, April 29th, 2009.\nAn introduction to Visual Anthropology\nVisual Anthropology is the part of anthropology that takes the:\n- Image as an object, an object whose goal is to be seen. And this object creates social relationships, are social enablers;\n- Image as methodology, as a way to approach the reality; either by using already existing images and measuring the reactions of social actors towards these images, or by producing new images (photography, cinema, etc.)\n- Image as a discourse, images being used to transmit the findings, conclusions of the research itself.\nThree steps: how images are represented, how a relationship is created between people and images, how a relationship is mediated amongst people through images.\nimage is valid in social sciences if it is contextualized.\nSpecificities of ethnographic cinema: the camera as a special object that needs “problematising”, putting it in context, make evident its use, its influence on what is seen and how it is seen…\nOn the one hand — a positive approach, by e.g. Vasant — we can believe that the genesis of the photographic image is automatic, unconscious and objective. There is no human intention (e.g. like in painting) in photography or cinema. Thus, we have to believe in the photographed object.\nOn the other hand — a post-modern approach, by e.g. Deleuze — we can also understand photography as a built image and, hence, it is useless for anthropology.\nOf course, both points of view can co-exist. It is the double regime of the cinematographic image, with an immediate component and a complex component.\nUse of cinema in anthropology:\n- Register. Though the context is very important to correctly frame this register. E.g. Nanook of the North is not a good ethnography about Eskimos, but it is a good ethnography about the encounter of Nanook and Flaherty.\n- Meeting point (dialogic camera)\n- Performance. As the camera is not invisible, all cinema is, on a certain degree, a performance.\nAll three combined provide a cinematographic way to approach reality: the data one gets are different (than without a camera), and the way these “data” (findings, reflections, etc.) are explained is also radically different than with other ways of representation (e.g. written language).\nIt is possible to think cinema ethnographically, as the way we produce the film (lightning, screenplay, etc.) does affect our research. And ethnography cinematographically: as post production, editing and mounting, etc. are also parts of the analysis of our subject of research\nTranscultural cinema: camera is a research instrument and cinematographic decisions come (partially) determined by the characteristics of the subject of research.\nExamples of visual ethnography\nJuan Ignacio Robles\nMarkets, lives and suburbs\nJuan Ignacio Robles presents a visual ethnography that does research on how different retail sellers in downtown markets face competition by supermarkets and illegal groceries. Footage is shot in three different European cities.\nProblems: sometimes it is difficult not to break the space-time environment of the representees as sometimes it is not allowed to tape inside supermarkets. On the other hand, the quality of the equipment also determines how and what you can tape, depending of the circumstances of the people to be taped (e.g. noise in open air markets).\nProject to show how Islam is taught in Spanish public schools. The camera enabled a higher degree of openness of the taped people, showing more things and shadows that would have remained hidden had not been the camera there. The people taped were the main characters of their own story and were able to explain their own point of view without intermediaries.\nMuñeiras, Cows and Churches\nHow the franquist regime used the NO-DO to show Spanish traditions, to praise the dictator and to foster tourism. The NO-DO was said to be “ethnographic”, and the research wants to deconstruct how the different documentaries from the NO-DO were really designed and built.\nThe Spanish-Equatorial association create performances on the street to transform feelings of hate, apathy into social vindication. It’s a Francisco Boal’s approach to activism theatre, to humanize the oppressor-oppressed relationship.\nQ & A\nIsmael Peña-López: how does the camera causes fake performance instead of empowering taped people to talk with their own voices? why not use invisible cameras (with the due permissions ex ante or ex post)? how do we go from describing to finding relationships of causality, from the how to the why?\nIsidor Fernández: does anthropologist have to master the language of cinema? Roger Canals: yes, of course (\nthough I don’t think there’s such a thing like cinematographic language).\nAdolfo Estalella: what’s the responsibility of the researcher when “stepping into” the performance that is being ethnographed?\nFrancesc Balagué: how does the media (cinema, TV, etc.) affects not only the result, but the research itself?\nRuth Pagès: Not make the camera invisible but even more visible, more present, and include the ethnographer inside the ethnography itself.\nJuan Ignacio Robles:\nI don’t want an invisible camera, as the camera induces actions and events. The characters of ethnographies usually attribute the camera a leading role too. The camera is but another character.\nRoger Canals: If the camera is not active in the ethnography, maybe it’s not ethnographic cinema at all. It is all the remainings of the positive approach that the reality is “pure” and we should not affect it. But this paradigm has been set aside as we believe there’s no “pure reality” at all. Anthropology only happens when there’s an encounter, hence the appearance of the camera is an absolute need for this encounter to happen.\nthe ethnographer is a participant and the camera mediates.\nEdgar Gómez: technicalities (e.g. is the audio ok?) are not distractions from the core of the research? Won’t the camera get most attention that due? Roger Canals: it is not a matter of putting the camera in the middle of the scene/research, just to give it the appropriate attribution.\nRoger Canals: for the anthropologist, the field research is very important. Before taping, there’s a lot of work to be done on the field and master the nature of the subject to be studied.\n- Roger Canals (2007) The Many Faces of a Venezuelan Goddess\n- Roger Canals (2007) Rostros de una Divinidad Venezolana\n- Roger Canals (2007) Visages d’une Déesse Vénézuélienne\n- Juan Ignacio Robles (2008) Mercados, vidas y barrios\n- Juan Ignacio Robles (2008) Mercados, vidas y barrios II\ne-Research: opportunities and challenges for social sciences (2009)\nIf you need to cite this article in a formal way (i.e. for bibliographical purposes) I dare suggest:\nPeña-López, I.

{"text": "Children have been found to have minds like sponges, they suck up all the knowledge they can around them. This would of course include television programming, which could cloud their judgement if not regulated. There are many show’s out there that children do not need to be witnessing, violence, nudity and paraphernalia are regularly shown on television. These t.v. shows need to been blocked from children eyes and ears.\nThe level of television watched by a child is another big issue these days. A child who is inside eating and watching t.v. all day is going to naturally gain weight due to the lack of physical exercise. This is causing childhood obesity to rise at a scary rate. Children need a healthy balance between inside time and outside time. They need both development of their mind just as much as learning healthy patterns for their body. Having a set time for t.v along with a set time for playing is important for a child’s healthy development.\nHowever all the blame is not on the children. Parents are just as much, if not more, to blame for their children’s eyes being glued to their t.v.’s. More and more parents these days are using television to keep their children occupied while they do what they need to do. The problem is that parents aren’t researching what their children are watching, they are assuming if it’s a cartoon it is ok. This is definitely not the case, there are cartoons that will confuse or even hurt development, but on the other side there are healthy learning cartoons and shows.\nLearning shows for children are hard to find this day but are most definitely beneficial to the children. These are the shows that parents show allow their children to watch for whatever time they have allotted the child to watch t.v. This will allow them to learn while they get to watch television instead of watching mindless shows. These shows, for the most part, will keep their children involved due to the problem solving issues they create but not make them a zombie to the program.\nOverall there are a lot of bad programs that kids get to watch that shouldn’t be allowed. But if parents begin to take control, having sets amount of time they must play for the amount they watch t.v., it may change the path of the country. It would not be easy to make the transition but it most likely would improve the obesity epidemic and general knowledge of the people.", "label": "No"}

{"text": "The Tragedy of the Anticommons: Property in the Transiton from Marx to Markets\nType of work: Working Paper\nCategories:Economics | Intellectual Property\nWhy are many storefronts in Moscow empty while street kiosks in front are full of goods? This article develops a theory of anticommons property to help explain the puzzle of empty storefronts and full kiosks. Anticommons property can be understood as the mirror image of commons property. By definition, in a commons, multiple owners are each endowed with the privilege to use a given resource, and no one has the right to exclude another. When too many owners have such privileges of use, the resource is prone to overuse -- a tragedy of the commons. In an anticommons, by my definition, multiple owners are each endowed with the fight to exclude others from a scarce resource, and no one has an effective privilege of use. When there are too many owners holding rights of exclusion, the resource is prone to underuse -- a tragedy of the anticommons. Anticommons property may appear whenever new property rights are being defined. For example in Moscow, multiple owners have been endowed initially with competing rights in each storefront, so no owner holds a useable bundle of rights and the store remains empty. Once an anticommons has emerged, collecting rights into private property bundles can be brutal and slow. This article explores the dynamics of anticommons property in transition economies, formalizes the empirical material in a property theory framework, and then shows how the idea of anticommons property can be a useful new tool for understanding a range of property puzzles. The difficulties of overcoming a tragedy of the anticommons suggest that property theofists n-fight pay more attention to the content of property bundles, rather than focusing just on the clarity of rights.", "label": "No"}

{"text": "I followed the stories about the Russian K-129 (Wiki) for many decades and have had an interest in submarines for much longer. Recently learning about sonobuoys and torpedos has rekindled that interest. This page was made as I started to read Going Deep: John Philip Holland and the invention of the attack submarine (2017) by Lawrence Goldstone as a way to keep track of the patents.\nHunleyThe Hunley (Wiki, Hunley.org) is called the first successful (depending on how they defined that word) submarine because it sank the USS Housatonic (Wiki). A paper dated 23 Aug 2017 from Duke University Confederate Submarine Crew Killed By Their Own Weapon shows that soft tissue damage to the lungs and brains of the crew was the problem. Note that the \"torpedo\" they used was a \"spar torpedo\" not an \"automobile\" type and was on a 16 foot spar. Since it contained about 135 pounds of gun powder. The PLOS article is:\nAir blast injuries killed the crew of the submarine H.L. Hunley, 2017-08-23.\nNote that the plan was to attach the spar torpedo to the USS Housatonic and then back off maybe 150 feet before exploding it, but something went wrong and the torpedo exploded while still on the spar, much too close to the sub for the occupants to survive. A big part of the design of U.S. military munitions is \"Safe and Arm\" (MIL-STD-1316) to prevent the type of accident that befell the Hunley. A normal S&A function is to insure that the weapon has traveled a safe distance from the launching platform before it's armed. A common approach is a small propeller that needs to make a predetermined number of turns and/or a minimum amount of time needs to elapse after launch.\nFrom prior reading the crush depth for a W.W.II submarine is about the same as it's length, on the order of a few hundred feet. It took a lot of improvement in metallurgy and sub design to get to the deep diving subs of today.\nThe W.W.II and earlier submarines were not true submarines like we have today, but rather submersibles meaning they were really surface ships that could submerge and maneuver under water for a very short amount of time. They had very limited range under water because of limited battery capacity.\nJohn Holland (Wiki) is the father of today's submarine, and in the patents section below are key problems he solved. In Reference 1 there are many dozen early designs for underwater vehicles, but they all suffer major problems. Patent 815350 (below) shows some sailors so gives a rough idea of the size of the first Holland Sub. The Electric Boat Co. (Wiki) was formed to build Holland Subs.\nAt what time was the air compressor for charging the Whitehead torpedoes on board the sub and if it was not then how long between charging the torpedoes until the air leaked out cutting the range in half?\nRoyal Navy - Holland 1 -\nJohn Holland was cheated out of his patents and removed from the Electric Boat Co. To be replaced by the technician Frank Cable who used electrical heating to dry out electrical cables in a sub that sank.\nThis is a general idea not limited to torpedoes. Here some examples of way overrated capability. This goes farther than the commercial products where marketing hype is understood by most customers. Here, in my opinion it misleads people in the military about the capability of their equipment. Not a good thing.\nNorden Bomb Sight (Wiki)\nWhile this sight made a number of improvements and did increase accuracy, it was not at all the case that bombing was a precise operation. The internal gyroscope was based on a DC motor with carbon brushes which deposited carbon dust inside the sealed case causing errors. But the main problem was fundamentally that the corrections made were not at all adequate since there were variables that were not at all controlled. This can be seen in the bomb damage assessment (Wiki) reports for W.W.II where not only did the bomb fall in the area of a pickle barrel it missed a factory that was as big as a city block. Even the modern \"smart bombs\" (Wiki) are not infallible, but are a lot more accurate than W.W.II iron bombs (Wiki).\nAt the start of W.W.II the torpedoes were either the ones left over from W.W.I or brand new untested designs. It turns out that the new Mk 14 torpedo has numerous problems making it close to totally ineffective. It took about two years to fix all the bugs. So while it was being promoted as the best torpedo ever in fact it was a POS (Urban distionary). Some torpedoes had a claimed range on the order of 25 miles (Wiki: Type 93) but there's no way it had anywhere near the accuracy to hit any seagoing target at that range. They realized the problem and made a modification installing a kamikaze (Wiki) for terminal guidance in the Kaiten (Wiki). Note that most successful torpedo attacks were where the launch point was no more than a few target lengths away.\nThe Torpedo Data Computer (Wiki) was an mechanical analog computer that solved the problem presented by a moving firing platform and moving target and took into account the speed and course (need not be a straight line) of the torpedo. Only a couple of second order corrections were made so the accuracy decreased rapidly as the target distance grew. I expect that the range of the longest torpedo sinking was far below the maximum claimed range for that model torpedo.\nBattle Ships (Wki)The main target of the Pearl Harbor attack (Wiki) was Battle Ship Row where all eight of them were hit along with some other ships and aircraft on the ground. But, the Battle Ship was already obsolete.\nWooden sailing boats had cannons that fired broadside requiring the attacking ship to maneuver parallel to the target ship to allow firing. The W.W.II 16\" guns (Wiki) on a battle ship like the Missouri (Wiki) are mounted in turrets so are more flexible. They have a stated range of up to 24 miles. The same problem as firing a torpedo, i.e. moving firing platform, moving target, was solved by the Fire Control Computer (Wiki), and it turns out the the Ford Instrument Co. made both the TDC and FCC. Practical rangekeepers had to assume that targets were moving in a straight-line path at a constant speed, to keep complexity to acceptable limits. So, a defensive strategy was to \"chase salvos\", i.e make violent turns and head to the splash point of the last shot coming towards you or just steer a tight circle (not a straight line) course.\nMy supposition is that a 16\" gun never sank an target ship at a range of 24 miles, but only at much reduced ranges, maybe 2.4 miles? The reasoning is the same as for the case of the torpedo. That's to say without some form of terminal guidance the probability of hitting the target is very small. It may be possible to fire many shots and use RADAR tracking of each one to reduce the error of the next shot, sort of like firing a machine gun by not using the sights but by looking at where the rounds land. But that's not precision fire control.\nAir to Air Missiles (Wiki)\nThe early air to air missiles were just rockets with no on board guidance. These were not very effective but had an advantage over slower munitions. For example the F-8 Crusader jet (Wiki) was designed to use 20mm cannon (Wiki) because prior Korean war vintage jets using .50 caliber machine guns were able to fire, dive and get in front of the bullets and shoot themselves. The 20mm cannon has a higher velocity round (3,300 fps at the muzzle or 2,250 MPH).\nThe early patents are all about control and stability underwater. The major concept missing from earlier attempts. Sort of like the key thing the Wright Brothers (Wiki) brought to airplanes was a control system so it could be steered. Prior aeroplanes were focused exclusivity on flying rather than crashing.Wiki), the highest is HY-130.\nThe below equation is from Yahoo Answers. Note this is about buckling, not ultimate stress so is independent of the grade of steel.\nFor External pressure design of a long cylinder to resist buckling, the Stress_critical is given by Scr = 0.27*E*(t/r)^3\nThis is applicable to materials with a Poisson's ratio (Wiki) = 0.3 for steel,\nE = the Modulus of Elasticity (Wiki) of the metal, psi (29E6 for steel)\nt = the wall thickness, inches\nr = inside radius of the cylinder, inches\nTo this answer you should apply a safety factor of 4.\nScr = .444 * Water depth in Feet [ 64 lbs/cubic foot for sea water divided by 144 Sq in per square foot = 0.444 PSI per foot of depth)\nE = 29E6 for steel (i.e. 1,000 pounds of force on a bolt with a 1 sq in cross section will stretch it 0.029\")\nt/r = TBD\n33 Foot inside diameter = 16.5 foot radius = 198\" = r (Los Angles Class Sub Wiki)\nThe above numbers have no safety factor.\nThe pressure hull thickness is at least 8\" thick, probably thicker.\nThe very first scale model used a clockwork as a power source. The first sub built for the navy was designed to have a combined gasoline engine and a DC motor, but the U.S. Navy changed that to a steam boiler, like used on surface ships, but that turned out to make the inside so hot that no humans could be involved.\nThe first working Holland sub could use either the engine or motor to power the propeller. This was true for the S-boats where each of the 4 engines could be connected to either a generator or propellers. The later classes of boats were true diesel-electric (Wiki) and the engines never were connected to the propellers.\nThe S-boats had a range of about 5,000 miles, much shorter than the \"Fleet Boats\" made for W.W.II that can cross oceans.\nElectro-Dynamic Co. (Wiki) made electric motors for electric Launch Co. (Wiki ELCO) which were later used in submarines. W.W. Griscom (Wiki) died in 1897. In 1899 Isaac Rice (Wiki) took over (cheated) John Holland of his patents, took over his company and renamed it Electric Boat Co. (Wiki). He also controlled ELCO and Electric Storage Battery Co. (Wiki) (later called Exide Co. In 1952 Electric Boat Co. became part of General Dynamics (Wiki).\n356834 Electric motor, William W. Griscom, Feb 1, 1887, 310/40R; 310/216.094; 310/60R; 310/64 - more efficient than prior art motors\n397424 Connection of electrical circuits, WIlliam W. Griscom, Henry N. Weiner, Electro Dynamic Co., Feb 5, 1889, 307/9.1; 200/51.1; 307/66; 439/291 -\nIn the very late 1890s the gasoline engine was replaced by a diesel engine (Wiki) made in Germany which was much safer.\n542846 Method and Apparatus for Converting Heat into Work, Rudolf Diesel, July 16, 1895, 123/27R; 123/1R; 123/25C; 123/25Q; 123/294; 123/58.4; 123/65VB; 60/39.76 -\nThe very early submarines never dived, i.e. they ran \"Awash\" so that a man's head could be above the surface. But as soon as they could dive they were essentially running blind. The idea was that the periscope could be used to see what was going on but people on ships would have a difficult time seeing the small periscope.\nToward the end of W.W.II the S-band (10 cm) APS-20 RADAR was replaced with the X-band (3 cm) APS- 31 RADAR (9.375 GHz, 200 mile range) which was much better at seeing periscopes.\nCurrently there are different functions for things called periscopes on submarines:\n1. Search periscope, navigation, observation: has both optical and radio antennas, can be rather large\n2. Attack periscope: is minimal in size to minimize detection in a combat situation\n3. ESM: Electronic Support Measures antennas for a wide range of frequencies (also may be built on submarine\n4. Photonics Mast (Wiki): provides the optical periscope function using high resolution TV cameras. Takes up much less space and provides better images and less time above the water line.\nThe periscope at left uses an special prism to get the image right side up, but suffers in that the distance between (a) and (b) is fixed.\nThe lenses comprise a right angle telescope.\nThe periscope at right makes use of collimated light between (c1) and (c2) so the distance between these two lenses can be changed without any effect on the image. This allows the periscope to telescope.\nBy Christian Schirm - Own work, after/nach Lexikon der Optik, Spektrum Verlag, Public Domain, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=522876\nWhile there were various periscopes (Wiki) long before their use in submarines, one of the first for a sub was by Simon Lake for his \"lake submarine\".\nVictorian Telescope Makers: The Lives & Letters of Thomas & Howard Grubb by I.G.

It provides a plan-position indication (PPI) of underwater objects within sound range. It can be installed on submarines or surface vessels. In contrast to the searchlight-type sonar, the f-m sonar provides continuous area search coupled with the ability to detect very small objects.\" The reference has some details of how it works.\nIn Principles of Underwater Sound (Ref-9) 11.4 Scanning Sonar - FM the QLA principle of operation is covered\nIn An Ocean in Common (Ref 10) the subs outfitted with the QLA were: Spadefish 20 Oct 1944, Tinosa (SS-283) Nov, Bowfin (SS-287) Dec, Stickleback (SS-415) June.

There are also naval mines that can be launched from the standard 21\" torpedo tube.\nThere is a version of the Harpoon anti-ship missile that can be launched from a torpedo tube called the UGM-84 (Wiki). This came about in the 1970s when Russian surface ships were outfitted with anti-submarine rocket powered weapons so the Harpoon was developed with a range greater than that weapon.\nThere is a version of the Tomahawk (Wiki) that can be launched from a standard torpedo tube called the UGM-109\n6427574 Submarine horizontal launch tactom capsule, Jeffrey C.

{"text": "Too Steep Of A Climb!\nA Stall: The Air Does Not Move Over The Wings At A Proper Angle Of Attack & The Wings Lose Lift\nWhen the wings stall, the airflow over the wings has been disturbed. The airflow across the “airfoils” — primarily across the wings from front to back — are no longer holding the airplane up.\nIf you are watching a seasoned pilot or a student pilot practice an aerodynamic stall, you will see the airplane noses up and then gently dips down.\nWhen the airplane by pitches down, the pilot, or the automated mechanism of the airplane, is actually attempting to recover from the stall.\nThen in order to get the wing flying again, the pilot has to move the control wheel forward — which seems counter-intuitive. Nevertheless, the pilot must get the air braking over the wings again at a proper angle of attack to create lift again.\nIf you watch an airplane take off, you will see that it raises its nose into the air at a certain point in time and speed. Without getting too technical, that airplane attempts to lift its nose to somewhere around 17 degrees relative to the airflow. An airplane stalls when the angle of attack of the wings exceeds something around 17 degrees.\nHave you see pictures of airplanes “buzzing” the ground. They are diving toward the ground, and then they suddenly pull up and out. If at the bottom of that dive you pull up too quickly and change the airflow across the wings, you face the possibility of stalling that airplane.\nSuch dives are dangerous because a pilot can lose the necessarily aerodynamic lift on the wings when it attempts to pull the nose up and out of that dive. The engine can be running full-bore — the propellers or jets can be wide open — but when the angle of attack of the wings exceeds the critical point — the necessary lift exerted on the wings has been lost and the airplane aerodynamically stalls.\nWhen attempting to pull out of the dive, the airflow is no longer sufficiently moving from the front or leading edge of the wing, across the wing, and then to the wing’s trailing edge.\nIf you do not have the altitude to recover from the stall — the altitude needed to keep the nose within that 17-degree angle of attack as you pull the nose up — you will very likely crash the airplane.\nYou cannot pull the nose of your airplane up without changing the flow of air across the wings. If you pull it up too “quickly” as you attempt to come out of your dive, you are stuck with little to no altitude to possibly recover. The wings will no longer exert lift, and that is the definition of a stall!\nForty percent of fatal stall accidents begin when an airplane is below 250 above the ground and the pilot lacks the altitude to successfully recover!\nSome Speakers Rhetorically Stall & Even Crash!\nIntroductions are designed to prevent rhetorical stalls — To prevent taking off too fast into the theme or subject and not giving time for the audience to adjust to where they are going.\nTransitions are designed to prevent rhetorical stalls — To prevent sudden movement onto another point and creating confusion as to where we are and what the connection is.\nIllustrations / analogies are designed to prevent rhetorical stalls — To prevent too steep of a conceptual-theological climb for the audience and a loss of clarity and understanding of what you are talking about.\nFeedback is designed to prevent rhetorical stalls — To prevent a speaker from realizing that the audience is about to crash.\nAudience Adaptation is designed to prevent a rhetorical stall — To prevent a speaker from buzzing the audience and then trying to pull up and out of audience excitement or upset he/she just created.\nConclusions are “controlled stalls”** — To let the audience know that we are landing on the Big Idea.\nOther Information & Links:\n*See the previous article on stalling for further understanding of what the term means. If has nothing to do with whether the engine is running or not. It is not the same meaning as with a car.\n** “Controlled stalls” are another whole discussion. A landing also changes the direction of the airflow across the airfoils / wings, and some would say that landing an airplane is a controlled stall at an instant before touch down. “Rhetorically” — some speakers just drop the plane hard onto the runway!\nThe “angle of attack” is critical and that is why it is always amazing when the aerodynamic industry demonstrates an airplane that has the power to pull up at a dizzying climb off the runway — a “crazy” angle of attack — as seen in this LINK!", "label": "No"}
{"text": "It is presumably safe to say that terms such a “MON 810”, Amflora and “Maize 1507” do not mean all that much to the average person. Yet all three are the result of one overriding principle, which is a contentious area of ongoing debate: genetic engineering. MON810 et al are genetically modified maize and potato crops. These crop varieties have either already been grown in European soils or the decision on whether to allow their respective cultivation is set to be made shortly. Many people in Germany are uneasy about the thought of GM food on their table.\nThe FocusTopic published in June, which put attitudes to nutrition in the spotlight, already revealed that 52% of Germans have a preference for foodstuffs that are clearly labelled as being GM free. But how well acquainted is the population with the concept of GM food really? What do people associate with this technology? The GfK Verein surveyed around 2,000 people, asking about their knowledge on and attitudes toward all things to do with genetic engineering in order to answer these questions. The findings were quite clear: the majority of Germans have come across the term “GM food” in the past. However, not all had a clear picture in mind of what exactly this expression encompasses.\nTo increase size: simply click on the chart\nGenetic engineering techniques, for example in agriculture, cause a stir on a regular basis, at least where the media is concerned. This has led to an increasingly widespread recognition of this term. “GM food” is an expression which 90% of Germans are already familiar with, having heard, read or seen the phrase being used somewhere at least once – 49% of respondents went further, specifying that they were completely sure they had encountered the phrase. In contrast, the expression was unfamiliar to just one in ten respondents. This high degree of recognition remains relatively constant through all population groups, irrespective of age, gender or region, with only minor differences to be identified. The responses from those in the 35 to 64 age category are above average, with more than 50% certain that they were familiar with the term. The younger generation of women (up to 49 years old) tended to be better informed than their male counterparts of the same age category. This trend is reversed later in life: from the age of 50 onward, it is the men who lead the way with regard to awareness and recognition of this term.\nAdvocates of genetic engineering processes see this as a way of curing hunger and malnutrition, whereas its critics opine that it is simply an unnecessary interference in nature, which can have unforeseen consequences for humans. However, this survey aims to discover what exactly the German population think of when confronted with the issue of GM food? Respondents who intimated that they were au fait with the term are divided on this subject with their answers reflecting a diverse range of attitudes. Several negative associations ranging from “unnatural/artificial”, to “damaging” and “unsafe/risks” were expressed, but were counterbalanced by a similar number of positive and neutral associations. This can be seen in the fact that every fifth respondent was completely neutral in their attitudes toward GM food where the taste or appearance has been changed. Gene manipulation and alterations in DNA were viewed as important issues by one in ten respondents, while others were concerned with processed seeds and animal feed. Overall, 15% of respondents expressed a positive view of GM products and plants, associating benefits such as extended shelf life, resistance and good value.\nA look back over the past decade reveals that German citizens have become a little more critical in their attitudes towards GM food. In 2004, 44% of respondents definitively ruled out buying GM food, whereas that figure has now risen to 53%. Nevertheless, it’s clear that not all Germans reject this technology out of hand. Even though just 1% of respondents would have no hesitation in buying GM products, a further 11% could imagine themselves doing the same if certain conditions were to be satisfied. The potential buyers’ primary focus in this regard is on the health benefits and safety of the products. They should be harmful neither to humans nor to the environment, and should be offer as many health benefits as possible over traditional foodstuffs. In addition, improved taste, value for money and a trusted producer are factors which could play a role in the purchase decision.\nAnother group of consumers were sat firmly on the fence with regard to GM food, explaining that they would like to be better informed on the subject before forming a definitive opinion. One in four admitted that they didn’t know enough to offer an informed opinion on the issue of buying GM produce. There is both an interest in and need for more information on this subject given that there has been no change in the percentage of this group since 2004: it remains at 26%. However, the ratio of GM objectors, potential buyers and those who have yet to form an opinion one way or the other has shifted slightly in comparison with 2004. The percentage of potential buyers has decreased from 17% to 11% today, while those who object to GM food increased proportionately. Nevertheless, it is worth pointing out that the subject in general is still as hotly debated as ever, as shown by the decreasing number of respondents who claim to have no interest in the role of genetic engineering in food (2004: 12%; 2014: 9%).\n“Maize 1507”, a type of genetically modified maize plant, could soon receive authorization from the European Commission. This would represent the first approval for genetically modified maize within the EU for more than 10 years. Even if it is granted, individual member states can still opt to enact cultivation bans for the crop. In this respect, it still remains to be seen whether this crop will in fact be grown in European soils. It appears consumers are less sure, as demand for information on “Maize 1507” continues. Public bodies such as the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy and the German Federal Office of Consumer Protection and Food Safety have reacted to this, explaining on their websites how GM content in foodstuffs can be identified and what the voluntary “GM free” label, provided by the Association of Food without Genetic Engineering really means. Furthermore, the 'Barcoo' smartphone app provides additional support to supermarket shoppers who wish to discover more about what may be hidden in products. This barcode scanner provides the user with a whole host of product information, including data on genetic engineering.\nData source: GfK Verein (Omnibus survey, June 2014)\nIf you have any queries please contact Claudia Gaspar, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.org.", "label": "No"}

{"text": "Anyone can improve their memory using a proven scientific method the ancient Greeks and Romans developed. The idea is to create a “memory palace.” A group of researchers says training daily using an ancient technique can improve your average storage skills, allowing many to more than double their memory.\nWhile scientists have previously used technology to help improve human memory, it doesn’t always require something so drastic. Instead, using an ancient Greek and Roman technique can help you increase your memory storage skills by investing a little time.\nThe researchers originally published their findings on improving your memory in the journal Neuron back in 2017. While the paper is older, the results are still astonishing and worth taking a look at, even in 2022. The paper, titled Mnemonic Training Reshapes Brain Networks to Support Superior Memory includes work from Martin Dresler, William R. Shirer, and more.\nThe basic idea is to create a memory palace by training your brain to remember things better. The researchers found that after using the technique, subjects within their 51-volunteer pool were able to improve their memory drastically.\nAfter just four months, participants could remember 62 of 72 test terms. At the start, many had only been able to remember 26 out of 72.\nThe memory palace method of improving your memory isn’t new, though. As mentioned above, it actually dates back to the ancient Greeks and Romans. However, it appears to be making a comeback of sorts, and the idea has even been featured in modern media like television shows, movies, and even video games.\nIf you want to train your brain and improve your memory, you can actually learn to use the memory palace technique yourself. First, you need to imagine walking around a place inside your mind. This place is your memory palace, hence the name. From there, imagine there are different doors, cabinets, or something that each corresponds to different words you need to memorize.\nIf you practice this method each day, you’ll eventually start to see improvements in your overall memory strength. The method was originally known as the “method of loci,” which translates to the method of places in Latin.\nOne of the best parts about the memory palace technique is you can imagine just about any type of place. You can use houses, roads, and even small communities to combine multiple memories together into one place. Additionally, scientists say that improving your memory in this manner will see the improvements lasting for a while to come.\nMany participants in the study Dresler and others conducted still saw improvements in their memory four months after the study ended. So, if you’re looking to improve your memory, science shows the memory palace is one of the most successful methods for doing so.\nComments will be approved before showing up.", "label": "No"}

So if you don’t have a lot of room in your home for an aquarium, catfish may not be the best choice for you.\nAnother thing to consider is that catfish can be messy eaters and often produce a lot of waste.\nCatfish As A Pet\nWhich of the more than 2,000 species of catfish can be kept in an aquarium? It is advisable to pick a dish that does not grow too large, no more than a few feet (less than a meter) in length.\nCatfish belonging to the genus Corydoras are perhaps the most popular pets. Corys are tiny fish. Between 1 and 3 inches (2.5 to 7.6 cm) in length.\nThey are armor-plated freshwater fish indigenous to the rivers and streams of South America. Catfish in the wild migrate in huge schools or groups.\nTherefore, you need to maintain at least four catfish in your aquarium. These fish are docile and unlikely to engage in combat with other fish in a communal aquarium. (Their defensive spines prevent other fish from attacking them)\nAlthough catfish are scavengers, they do not consume fish faeces. They will only consume food leftovers that settle to the tank’s bottom.\nCatfish cannot survive on leftovers alone. (Smoothen gravel or sand is an excellent idea since they may hurt themselves on sharp pebbles when digging for food.)\nLike all other fish, they need a diet rich in essential elements. Give them food that will sink, like pellets that sink.\nThey will not swim to the surface to seek food. Catfish are beneficial to a community aquarium since they aid with tank maintenance.\nHowever, the water must be changed often.\nSetting Up The Aquarium For A Catfish\nWhen setting up an aquarium for a catfish, there are a few more things to consider beyond tank size and water quality. First, it’s essential to choose a substrate that caters to the species of catfish you’ll be keeping.\nSand and fine gravel are usually the best options as they won’t scratch the catfish’s skin, and allow the fish to sift through the sediment for food. Additionally, catfish are bottom-dwelling creatures, so consider adding flat rocks or individual slate tiles to create areas for them to rest and explore.\nWhen decorating the aquarium, it’s essential to avoid sharp or pointed decorations as they can harm a catfish’s delicate skin. Caves, PVC pipe, and driftwood are ideal hiding places that can be easily cleaned.\nLive plants like java ferns, hornwort, and java moss are also excellent additions as they help absorb nitrates, provide oxygen, and create more hiding spots.\nCatfish are also very susceptible to stress when their environment changes frequently, so keeping the tank’s conditions as stable as possible is essential. Avoid direct sunlight and temperature fluctuations by using a reliable heater to maintain a consistent temperature.\nOverall, choosing appropriate decorations, a suitable substrate, and a stable and consistent environment are essential steps in setting up an ideal aquarium for catfish.\nCatfish Varieties That Can Be Kept as Pets\n- Cory catfish\n- Otocinclus Catfish\n- Glass Catfish\n- Bristlenose Pleco\n- Pictus Catfish\n- Striped Raphael Catfish\n- Upside Down Catfish\n- Bumblebee Catfish\nHow to Choose a Catfish As A Pet?\nChoose carefully while selecting a species of catfish for your aquarium. The following guides the most suitable catfish species for home aquariums. The mature size of a catfish is crucial for ensuring its happiness throughout its lifetime.\nWhen all fish begin at the same size, it might not be easy to imagine their potential growth, and not all pet retailers give this information. Even selecting a docile plecostomus may be difficult, as some species reach a maximum length of 8 inches, while others can reach several feet in length.\nAnd although some catfish, such as Corydoras species, are placid bottom scavengers that may be mixed with other little fish, others, such as the Redtail Catfish, are predators who will devour any fish.\nThat fits in their jaws! You must research beforehand to ensure that the catfish you want to bring home will fit in your aquarium, depending on its size and the other species you currently have. If you cannot confirm that the species you are seeing is accurate, do not purchase it.\nTips For Keeping Catfish As a Pet?\nCatfish are primarily bottom-dwellers. Catfishes use their barbels to look for food buried in the substrate, even though they swim in the mid-water column.\nIn addition, their barbels are filled with taste receptors, continually searching for delectable morsels. Keeping this in mind, your catfish will need access to the substrate.\nMost aquarium configurations are suitable for catfish, except for thickly planted tanks. Catfish may quickly get disoriented and entangled in dense vegetation.\nThe substrate type for catfish should be somewhat acceptable. Standard aquarium gravel to medium sand is a suitable substrate for most catfish.\nLarger rocks may be rugged for smaller catfish, and it has been observed that more enormous catfish consume rocks.\nSome species, such as plecos, prefer to chew on softer wood. When adding wood to an aquarium, ensure that it is aquarium-safe. Certain types of wood may leach harmful chemicals into the aquarium water.\nContrary to popular belief, catfish are omnivores, with some leaning more towards herbivory and others towards carnivory.\nRemember that there are around 3000 species of catfish. Do not anticipate most catfish to remove algae from your aquarium. In most freshwater systems, algae must be controlled by restricting its nutrition supply.\nLike all other fish species, catfish need clean water and a balanced diet for optimal health. Remember that not all catfish like algae, so constantly feed them. Most tropical fish diets are suitable for catfish in mixed-species aquariums.\nIf you have catfish in your aquarium, you may choose a diet from the vegetarian or carnivore spectrum.\nCatfish often forage throughout the day, so anticipate consuming a portion of whatever you give them. Even with catfish repairs, you must continue with your regular upkeep program.\nHowever, certain catfish species are nocturnal feeders, so you may need to feed the aquarium when the lights go off at night.\nHealth Concerns To Watch Out For\nWhen keeping a catfish as a pet, there are several health concerns to watch out for. In addition to overfeeding and poor water quality, catfish are also prone to skin and fin diseases. These diseases are often caused by poor water quality, overcrowding, or physical injuries. Symptoms of skin and fin diseases include red or irritated skin, split or frayed fins, and clamped fins. You should immediately isolate any infected fish to prevent the spread of disease to other tank mates.\nAnother common health issue with catfish is constipation. Constipation can cause bloating and difficulty swimming, and it is often caused by overfeeding or improper diet. Some catfish species require a more herbivorous diet, while others may prefer a more carnivorous diet. It’s important to research the specific dietary needs of the catfish species you are keeping to ensure proper nutrition.\nAdditionally, catfish may be prone to parasitic infections, such as ich, which can cause visible white spots on the fish’s skin. Recognizing and treating these infections quickly can help prevent further damage to your catfish’s health.\nIn general, monitoring the water quality, observing your catfish’s physical appearance and behavior, and feeding a nutritious and balanced diet are essential steps in keeping your catfish healthy as a pet.\nQ: What type of catfish can be kept as a pet?\nA: Several species of catfish can be kept as pets, including plecos, pictus catfish, and corydoras catfish.\nQ: What size aquarium should I get for my catfish?\nA: The size of your catfish will determine the size of the aquarium you need. As a general rule, you should provide your fish with at least 1 gallon of water per inch of fish.\nQ: What should I feed my catfish?\nA: Catfish are omnivorous, and their diet can consist of a variety of plant and animal-based foods. Pellets, flakes, algae wafers, and live or frozen brine shrimp are excellent options. It’s also important to avoid overfeeding and to feed no more than what the fish can consume in three minutes.\nQ: Do catfish require any special care or maintenance?\nA: Catfish require a clean and well-maintained aquarium, suitable decoration, and proper nutrition just like any other pet fish. Regular water changes and tank cleaning, monitoring pH levels, and providing suitable hiding spots to the catfish are also necessary.", "label": "No"}
{"text": "Monday, July 27, 2009\nDefinition of VO2 max:\nVO2 is a term that describes our body's ability to deliver and utilize oxygen. It is a term that is thrown around amongst athletes and doctors alike. To doctors, VO2 can serve as a predictor of mortality in cystic fibrosis or in patients with heart failure. To an athlete, the maximum VO2 uptake is important as a predictor of performance and a measure of the efficacy and progression of training.\nElements of VO2:\nOur VO2 at any given time is dependent on three elements controlled by our body: heart rate, stroke volume per beat, and extraction of oxygen from the blood. Our body has the amazing capacity to increase our VO2 from 3 ml/kg/min at rest to over 80 ml/kg/min in athletes at peak exercise.\nMechanisms of Increase:\nOur body used both central (heart) and peripheral (muscle, blood) mechanisms to increase our VO2 on demand. Here is how:\nOur heart has the amazing capacity to beat on its own without any outside input from our body...you heard that right. If our heart were left to beat at its own rate with no input, it would typically beat much faster than it does at rest, but our body slows it down. Thus, the first step in increasing heart rate is removal of the input that slows the heart, and the heart rate increases. This is especially important early in exercise and is almost instantaneous.\nThe second component to increasing heart rate is epinephrine (adrenaline) released by our adrenal gland as our muscles' oxygen demand continues to increase with higher intensity exercise. This typically takes a little bit longer, and is important in the completion of all-out efforts.\nOur body also extracts more oxygen from the blood during exercise. At rest we extract 25% of this oxygen content in our blood, but during exercise this can increase to 85%.\nThis happens because our red blood cells release more oxygen as the temperature increases and as lactic acid builds up. Also, our blood vessels dilate and more blood is delivered to the area of work under the influence of metabolites produced in the muscle.\nThis is probably the element most influenced by training over time. Our heart becomes more efficient as it becomes trained, and it can pump more blood with each beat. This is also the explanation for the decreased heart rates you see in athletes. If our heart pumps more with each beat, it doesn't have to pump as many times to meet our demands.\nThis decreased heart rate in a trained athlete continues into the first stages of exercise, and it stays below that of an untrained person at most exercise intensities. Only near maximum effort does the heart rate finally rise to levels that would meet that of an untrained person, and when it does, that athlete's cardiac output is much higher (equal rates with more volume per beat = higher cardiac output).\nThis is the protein in our red blood cells that actually caries oxygen. It is also highly affected by training and takes time to change. With increased hemoglobin, our blood can carry more oxygen.\nConsidering that the usual limitation in reaching VO2 max is oxygen delivery, not oxygen utilization by our muscles, one can see the importance of increasing our blood's capacity to deliver, all in addition to our heart's ability to increase delivery.\nAssociations with VO2 Max:\nHere are some markers that correlate well, either positively or negatively, with one's VO2 max:\nHDL cholesterol - this is our \"good\" cholesterol, and it has a positive association with VO2 max. That is, as HDL cholesterol goes up, VO2 max goes up.\nLDL cholesterol, Body Mass Index (BMI), Smoking, and long-term Blood Glucose Levels - quite a long list, no doubt, and all of these factors, from \"bad\" cholesterol to BMI have a negative impact on VO2 max. As they go up, VO2 max goes down.\nA beneficial off season activity is to go to your doctor and have all of those markers checked. As the season goes on and you get them checked again, you have a virtual window into how your VO2 max is coming progressing.\nObviously, these markers are players in much more important things than VO2 max, so it is a good idea to get them checked anyway. This way, you can use them to monitor your training to boot.\nHow to Measure:\nMeasuring VO2 is a rather difficult process that requires a great deal of sophisticated instrumentation, in addition to time and effort. This is just another reason why utilizing the aforementioned markers may be a more realistic practice.\nIn a laboratory, the test can be performed while running, cycling, or rowing; the more muscle mass utilized, the better. The athlete breathes through a machine that senses the difference in oxygen between inspired and expired air, and it measures the volume of expired air. This information, plus a little math, and voila, you've got your calculation.\nThe test is carried out with increasing intensity over 6 to 12 minutes. This time frame is necessary to let the cardiac response reach a maximum (remember that adrenaline takes some time). The athlete stops the test when at maximum exertion, or it is stopped when VO2 levels out with increasing intensity, and you've got your number.\nAnother predictor that requires no equipment is the Cooper test. In this test you run 12 minutes all out, and you take the distance you ran (in meters) and subtract 505, then divide that number by 45, and you have a predicted value in ml/kg/min. Again, this is a gross estimation and not as personal as even tracking the progress of your markers.\nGet those marker numbers now from your doctor and watch them improve throughout the year.", "label": "No"}
{"text": "20 Mar Thresholds in Fuzzy Logic\nAt what point does temperature change from cold to hot? Tell a person (or a computer) that the beach will be closed if the water is too cold, and their interpretation may differ from yours. This statement is subjective, as are many of the values applied to the thermometer at right. But if you tell a person to place the eggs in the water when it begins to boil, the threshold is easy to measure and your intent will be understood easily. Threshold logic is a useful variation of multi-valued logic. It lets us establish points on continuum where decisions are triggered.\nIf you have read Section 3 or studied biological or artificial neural networks, you will recall that threshold functions are probably the most important biological computing mechanisms active in the brain (and the core functions of neural networks). The importance of threshold logic in both the biological and cybernetic domains is well established. In this section, we will look at psychological aspects of threshold logic and explore how, as a variation of multivalued logic, threshold theory can help us develop a clear and correct formulation of logical rules on which to build a simulation or mechanical mind.\n|Understanding Context Cross-Reference|\n|Click on these Links to other posts and glossary/bibliography references|\n|Prior Post||Next Post|\n|At the Edge of Possibility||Common Sense and Thresholds|\n|subjective decisions||Duda 1973|\n|intent understood||Olofsson 2005|\n|Threshold multi-valued logic||Valiant 1994|\nMIPUS considers himself to be a sensitive robot. His sensitivity, however, has lead to trouble more than once. One of his duties is to communicate with the home environment control computer to regulate heating and air conditioning. After weeks of responding to conflicting requests from the mister and missus, he just froze the setting at 69°F.\nThe thresholds, some fuzzy, some firm, may act as decision, or trigger points.\n|Boiling||The temperature needed to prepare noodles and rice|\n|Really Hot||The range of temperatures suitable for a sauna|\n|Hot||The right kind of weather for aquatic sports|\n|Warm||The kind of reception you want from a friend|\n|Luke Warm||The feeling of water suitable for dry yeast|\n|Tepid||The kind of reception you give the tax auditor|\n|Cool||The right temperature for a room when it's hot outside|\n|Chilly||The feeling you expect when you reach into the frig|\n|Cold||The outdoor temperature that says it's time for the jacket|\n|Really Cold||A reason to stay indoors and light a fire in the hearth|\n|Freezing||The temperature necessary to preserve foods long-term|\nFirm Thresholds in Fuzzy Logic\nA firm threshold can be used to implement a binary or multi-valued logic function, while fuzzy thresholds support only multi-valued logic. There are methods for implementing both firm and fuzzy (subjective) thresholds. Mathematical functions that yield square curves can be used to implement firm thresholds. The formula states that below the threshold, the trigger is not activated, but above the threshold, the trigger is activated. For example, the freeway entrance-ramp control signal may be set to flash yellow until 4:00 PM, at which time the signal will be set to a pre-established red/green cycle (see program 1 below).\nMathematical functions that yield sigmoidal curves can be used to implement fuzzy thresholds. For example, a different freeway entrance-ramp control signal (see program 2 below) may be set to flash yellow until the volume of freeway traffic reaches 20 vehicles per lane per minute, at which time it will be set to a red/green cycle that permits one vehicle every four seconds. Then, for each increment of four cars per lane per minute, the signal adjusts the red/green cycle down by one or two seconds until the volume is 40 vehicles per lane per minute. The final flow-control factor is one vehicle every 9 to14 seconds. The determination of whether to increment one or two seconds may be determined by the speed of traffic.\nNot So Fuzzy Absolutes\nIf we accept the propositions of threshold logic, we can look at the threshold as a converter that enables us to transform fuzzy principles into absolute theories that can be expressed mathematically. Let’s look at random probability and the possibility threshold. Assume, for the sake of this argument, that such a threshold exists. The threshold may be dynamic in that it moves up or down depending on external constraints. If we look at the threshold, we see that it represents an absolute dividing line with absolutely possible things on one side and absolutely impossible things on the other side.\nThis condition of absoluteness adds stability to the proposed structure of information in that it will be more difficult to disrupt the hierarchy of cause and effect. If there is a threshold governing all causal interactions at a quantum level, then it would be theoretically possible to develop an artificial or mechanical system that contains a complete set of cause and effect associations.\nIf, however, random probability is asymptotic, then it would be impossible to reflect all possible interactions in any finite system. In other words, if anything is possible, the set of all cause and effect associations is limitless and impossible to encode. Absolute thresholds do not preclude fuzzy and multi-valued interpretations. We may accurately say that sunrise occurred at 5:17 AM and still acknowledge that dawn stretched out over many minutes.\nWhether this discussion of thresholds reflects truth in the physical universe or not, it serves as a valuable model for developing automated processing systems that mimic the brain. Even if our computer system does not capture all possible causes and effects, the fact that we can organize them into causal chains and explicitly associate them enables us to model the knowledge that is stored in finite human brains.\n|Click below to look in each Understanding Context section|\n|4||Perception and Cognition||5||Fuzzy Logic||6||Language and Dialog||7||Cybernetic Models|\n|8||Apps and Processes||9||The End of Code||10||Glossary||11||Bibliography|", "label": "No"}

It has been suggested that the ability of categorization is likely to play an essential role in its overall cognitive development. In this study, we conducted a series of experiments using stimuli that have various attributes in order to understand the process of such a categorization in an infant's pre-linguistic development. We consider two possible cognitive processes of linguistic categorization. One possible scenario is that certain members of the categories are derived from similarity with the most representative members of a category (prototypical members). Alternatively, the coupling of each category member- ship with relevant labels can be traced to the symbol grounding problem. Our results are consistent with an interpretation that the cortical systems involved in language development is inseparably linked with prototype effects in categorization.\nBibliographic reference.

{"text": "|The Shaggy Steed of Physics: Mathematical Beauty in the Physical World|\n|rating||8 of 10 (if you have the required math skills)|\n|summary||Beautiful but demanding examination of the two-body problem.|\nThe force on each body, whether gravitational or electric, is proportional to the square of the distance between the bodies. An isolated sun and planet form such a system, and a hydrogen atom, which is just a proton and electron, can be simplistically modeled as such. This may seem a trivial problem: you can sum it up in half a page in a physics book. But that's because all the detail work has been done for you. Furthermore, anything more complex than the two-body problem is chaotic and incapable of exact solution, so it's up to the two-body problem to carry us along. This is a complex problem, so this review is rather lengthy.\nLet me warn you right off the bat that this is not a book for the faint of heart. It kicked my ass. The concepts are fast and furious, and the math is dense. Equations festoon the pages, daring you to ignore them. But you may not, they're fundamental to the discussion. Mr. Oliver opines that anyone with basic undergraduate math should be able to handle it. I had calculus, differential equations, and a good dose of physics in college and I still found the book tough going, mostly due to the whirlwind of notation and sheer number of variables introduced. I ended up keeping a cheat sheet of key definitions which ended up being four pages long, and took almost two weeks to process it. It reads like an advanced college physics book, except without extra examples or redundant explanation -- he expects you to be smart or motivated enough to keep up.\nAs an example: 'Using Hamilton's equations to eliminate p' and q', the total rate of change may be compactly expressed as df/dt = df/dt + [f,H] where [f,g] is the Poisson bracket of any two functions of the motion: [f,g] = (df/dqi*dg/dpi - dg/dqi * df/dpi)' I've reformatted this slightly for text limitations; he of course doesn't use * for multiplication, and you should read all 'i's as subscript i. This is fairly simple math in the context of the book.\nSo now that I've scared you off, what's the payoff? Well, unlike my college physics books which just lead me from factoid to factoid there are moments where the hard work pays off in big \"oooh\" moments. Your book might give you Kepler's second law: a planet sweeps out equal areas of its ellipse in equal times. But why? We'll just call it 'conservation of angular momentum'; that should hold you plebes. But in Shaggy Steed you'll find the equations like this that you might have thought were fundamental falling out of the woodwork, built up from the real fundamentals.\nWe start out by defining coordinate spaces and deciding that we're interested in Newtonian/Galilean rather than Einsteinian physics for the moment, since our subjects travel slowly enough and relativity makes things nastier. We start with a particle that has two vectors -- position and velocity. Turn this into two ensembles of rigid body particles exerting force upon each other. From this we build up the laws of motion, arriving at the total energy H of the system, and the 'gene of motion,' the Lagrangian: the difference between the kinetic and potential energy. 'Gene of motion' is a pretty bold claim, so we are shown how every mechanical quantity of the system may be derived from the Lagrangian. From there it's on to the 'action' principle, which is basically the integral of the Lagrangian over time - the key being that of any path the particles may take, they act in a way to minimize the action. Every other law of motion (including Newton's) follows from this, though to explain why it's the case we need general relativity. This was my first 'oooh' moment.\nChapter 3 really sets the pace for the rest of the book. If you're thrown off here, you're not going to make it out alive. To summarize: \"Motion consists of the trajectory flow of particles in phase space. Each isolating invariant introduces a degeneracy into the motion in which the full phase space available to the trajectories degenerates into a submanifold. Increasing numbers of isolating invariants correspond to increasing degeneracies of the motion which restrict the trajectories to increasingly restricted submanifolds of phase space.\" This is more or less the programme of the entire book. Dig out as much complexity as required, then simplify to solvability.\nOliver introduces each new concept, so if you're following along carefully, you can follow along. This is all done half in equations, so we're diving so deep into math that you (okay, I) may be several pages in and forget where you were coming from and where you were going. Then suddenly you're out the back end and he nails it all with a beautiful concrete application or insight. For Chapter 3 it's Hooke motion, which you can think of as approximating two weights connected by a spring. Now if you've ever taken differential equations, or dynamics, you're probably uncomfortably familiar with this system. Now here it is all laid out for you, everything explained, and boy those resultant equations look mighty familiar. So that's where that all comes from, and why they use those particular symbols. The linear central force and the inverse-square forces of our two-body problem turn out to be closely related as well.\nTo be crushingly brief, Chapter 4 finally gets down to the (relatively) practical matter of classical planetary (Keplerian) mechanics, and why four dimensional spheres are special. Chapter 5 dives into quantum mechanics, and the hydrogen atom loosely simulated as a two body problem, since it has only the nucleus and one electron. And let's derive the fundamentals of quantum physics and the periodic table while we're here. Though I've neglected to mention it till now, Oliver doesn't neglect the human side of all this. He doesn't linger on it, but he does provide context. It's amusing to see how many of these inexorable equations were originally derived by geniuses like P. Dirac, only to be disowned because the implications were too outlandish.\nIn Chapter 6, it's time to step out of Newtonian/Galilean space and into Einsteinian space. We've made a lot of assumptions, such as the infinitely fast propagation of forces. This is no longer the case; time is no longer separate from space. In fact, we learn how to rotate space into time through imaginary rotation angles (known as 'boosts'). e=mc^2 falls out. But our shaggy steed eventually breaks down on the precession of Mercury. In the land of general relativity, even a simple two-body problem is really a many-body problem - forces are no longer instantaneous, they require force particles. The steed is of no more use.\nBut wait! Chapter 7, The Manifold Universe, takes on many-body motion like Don Quixote tilting bravely at a windmill, and tries to pull some order from the chaos. KAM theory is introduced and our many-body problem turns out to be not absolutely chaotic, but a mixture of regular and chaotic motion. You may have noticed that our many-body solar system doesn't just fly apart. We can model it more or less as a set of two-body problems with minor perturbations (minor being the key). And of course we can model fluids even though the internal motion is chaotic. Order emerges. Our shaggy steed is revived, transformed.\nThe back of the book contains the Notes, which are compact digressions into the hard (yes ...) math. I have to admit some of them completely lost me. But they're not required, just extra reading for those of you who eat this stuff up.\nThis all leaves me with a bit of a quandary. It's a beautiful book if you're a graduate-level student of math or physics, smarter than me (your best bet), or willing to put a lot of effort into it. Otherwise I can't recommend it -- the book is gibberish if you can't follow the math. I can't help but think that it would make a fantastic course in the hands of a skilled practical math teacher like Dr. Gary Sherman at RHIT; I certainly could have used his help with this. So, it's to teachers like him that I'd really suggest this book, for eventual dissemination to their students. Or if you dig physics and have the math skills, you might want to try riding \"The Shaggy Steed of Physics\" alone.

{"text": "We hear a lot about gender equality, and I am by no means discrediting equal opportunities for men and women in school and the workplace. I believe everyone should be given equal opportunities to succeed and prosper. But from an early age our gender does influence how we view and experience the world, and unfortunately, gender can play a role in our susceptibility to mental illness.\nAccording to the World Health Organization, woman are two times more likely than men to develop mental illnesses like depression or eating disorders. Women’s biology plays a role in their susceptibility because women have lower serotonin levels than men and will process the chemical at a slower rate causing a greater fluctuation in mood.\nBiology isn’t the only factor working against women though. Society as a whole has objectified women in ads and movies and television making the perceived standard of beauty impossible to reach for most women. Nevertheless, women hold themselves to this standard and often suffer from low self-esteem which can be a contributing factor developing a mental illness like depression.\nWomen are more likely to talk about their mental illness and seek help for it though giving them a lead on the road to recovery over men who may be downplaying the symptoms or uncomfortable admitting they have a problem because of the pressure of social norms.\nAccording to the World Health Organization, men are more than twice as likely than women to develop mental illnesses that involve substance abuse like alcohol dependence and men are three times as likely to be diagnosed with anti social disorders. But depression and other mental illnesses are still prevalent in men.\nAnd while women are more likely to attempt suicide, men are more often successful in their attempts because they are more likely to use methods that guarantee success.\nUnderstanding how gender differences whether biological or social affect mental health is crucial to diagnosis and treatment, so it shouldn’t be downplayed.\nIf you want more information, the National Institute of Mental Health is a great resource and has information specific for men (https://www.nimh.nih.gov/health/topics/men-and-mental-health/index.shtml) and women (https://www.nimh.nih.gov/health/topics/women-and-mental-health/index.shtml).\nBut regardless of gender, mental illness is a ruthless enemy that can only be defeated if we ban together.

{"text": "Public libraries connecting people for development: Findings from the Global Impact Study\nPublic libraries play a critical role in extending the benefits of information and communication technologies (ICTs) to a diverse range of people worldwide. However, their ability to contribute to development agendas has come into question in recent times. The Global Impact Study was designed to address this debate by generating evidence about the scale, character, and impacts of public access ICTs in multiple countries across different venue types. Using data from Botswana, Chile, and the Philippines, this report summarizes the study’s key findings with a focus on libraries, situating these venues in the context of national development, discussing some disputed issues, and providing recommendations for policymakers, library practitioners, and researchers. The results show that a central impact of public libraries is promoting digital inclusion, information access, and development of ICT skills through technology provision, particularly for marginalized populations and those who face challenges using and benefiting from computers and the internet. The data also suggest a number of library characteristics that are important to users and provide a unique public value, with both users and non-users reporting positive impacts and a willingness to pay to maintain the existence of public libraries.\nSey, A., Coward, C., Rothschild, C., Clark, M., and Koepke, L.

The hunt began on Saturday when about 3,700 permitted hunters were allowed to begin the first legal bear hunt in Florida since 1994. Hunters greatly exceeded projections from the FWC by killing 293 bears in less than two days. The hunt was originally scheduled to last seven days but the unexpected success rates have pressured officials to shut it down early.\nThere were four regions in which hunting was allowed and one of those being the Central region. The Central region is made up of Lake, Orange, Seminole, and Volusia counties. The kill limit for this region was set to 100 but hunters in the area had already produced 139 dead bears by mid Sunday. Many officials believe the high success rate of hunters is due to hunter preparation and bear populations exceeding initial estimates. There was originally believed to be about 3,500 bears in the area but many officials now think that number was too low.\nNot everyone was happy about the hunt and local activist group Speak Up Wekiva played an influential role in having the hunt called off. Speak Up Wekiva sued the FWC and applied pressure for the hunt to be shut down early. The hunt was originally supposed to be a two day minimum, but pressure from Speak Up Wekiva was influential in the decision for it to be ended ahead of schedule.

It was thought of as an essentially Roman sport and battle tactic.\nIts history was traced back to the legendary Roman hero Horatius Cocles, who swam the Tiber River to defend a bridge against the Etruscans.\nA series of Roman reliefs dating from 850 B.C. show swimmers, mostly in a military context, some using swimming aids, possibly to indicate long-distance swim training.\nGermanic folklore describes swimming as a stealth tactic used successfully in war against the Romans.\nSwimming was originally one of the seven “agilities” of knights during the Middle Ages.\nAnd the knights were expected to be able to swim while wearing armor.\nHowever, as swimming was usually done without armor, or even much clothing, it was seriously being discouraged by the church by the end of the Middle Ages.\nIn the 16th century, a German court prohibited naked public swimming by children.\nBut, of course, swimming could never be eradicated.\nLeonardo da Vinci made early sketches of lifebelts and men wearing lifebelts.\nIn 1538 Nicolas Wynman, a German professor of languages, wrote the first book about swimming, called, “Colymbetes.” His primary aim was not to encourage exercise or recreation, but to reduce the likelihood of drowning.\nNevertheless, the book contained sound instructions as to how to learn to swim.\nIt also explained how to use swimming aids like air-filled cow bladders, reed bundles or cork belts.\nAround the same time as the Germans were learning the breast stroke from Wynman’s book, an English author named Everard Digby wrote a book called De Arte Natandi.\nIt was published in 1587, and is considered the first English treatise on the sport although some of Digby’s theories were somewhat fantastical. He claimed that, properly trained, humans had the ability to swim better than fish.\nShakespeare wrote about swimming in several of his plays.\nWhen Stephano, in The Tempest, asks Trinculo how he escaped the sinking ship, Trinculo says, “Swum ashore, man, like a duck; I can swim like a duck, I’ll be sworn.”\nIn 1696, the French author, Thevenot, wrote The Art of Swimming, featuring a breaststroke very similar to the modern breaststroke.\nThis book was translated into English and became the go-to text on swimming for years to come.\nIn the British classic, Gulliver’s Travels, published in 1726 by Irish writer and clergyman, Jonathan Swift, the hero considers himself a good swimmer and recites several occasions when he found it “convenient” to swim.\nFrancis Place’s autobiography says that during English summers, boys often swam in the River Thames.\nHe remembered that when he was about eleven, “I saw boys not older than myself swim across the Thames at Millbank at about half tide.”\nBy the early 1700s, recreational swimming was popular enough that London had its own public pool.\nThe Peerless Pool was described as “an elegant pleasure bath.” It measured 170′ by 100′ and had a smooth gravel bottom, and was accessed by several flights of stairs.\nSwimming in the colonies was often out of necessity rather than pleasure.\nNicholas Cresswell, for example, said that during a trip on the Ohio River in 1775, one of the canoes drifted across the river and “one of the Company swam across the River and brought her over.”\nThe year before, when he was in Barbados, Cresswell wrote, “Early this morning Bathed in the Sea, which is very refreshing in this hot Climate.”\nBenjamin Franklin must have been particularly keen about swimming at a young age.\nAt the age of 10, in 1716, he invented of a pair of swim fins.\nFranklin believed strongly that every youth should learn to swim.\nIn an undated letter written before 1769, Franklin said this about swimming:\n“… they would on many occurrences, be the safer for having that skill, and on many more the happier, as freer from painful apprehensions of danger, to say nothing of the enjoyment in so delightful and wholesome an exercise. Soldiers particularly should, methinks, all be taught to swim; it might be of frequent use either in surprising an enemy, or saving themselves. And if I had now boys to educate, I should prefer those schools (other things being equal) where an opportunity was afforded for acquiring so advantageous an art, which once learnt is never forgotten.”\nThe number of coroner’s inquests conducted in colonial Virginia on the bodies of boys and young men who drowned while swimming suggests that more swimming education was definitely needed.\nIn 1875, Matthew Webb caught the interest of people around the world when he became the first person to swim across the English Channel.\nUsing only the breaststroke, it took him more than 21 hours to cross the Channel.\nIt would be 31 years before anyone else attempted that swim.\nToday, swimming is the third most popular sport in the summer Olympic Games.\nWhether in a swimmin’ hole on Knapps Creek or in the solar heated pool at Watoga, Pocahontas Countians know that swimming is one of the best ways to beat heat of the last “Dog Days” of summer.\nEnjoy them while you can – we’ll soon be exchanging dog days for dog sleds.", "label": "No"}

{"text": "(additional papers by Davis Foulger)\nWe teach the same models of communication today that we taught forty years ago. This can and should be regarded as a mark of the enduring value of these models in highlighting key elements of that process for students who are taking the process apart for the first time. It remains, however, that the field of communication has evolved considerably since the 1960's, and it may be appropriate to update our models to account for that evolution. This paper presents the classic communication models that are taught in introducing students to interpersonal communication and mass communication, including Shannon's information theory model (the active model), a cybernetic model that includes feedback (the interactive model, an intermediary model (sometimes referred to as a gatekeeper model of the two-step flow), and the transactive model. It then introduces a new ecological model of communication that, it is hoped, more closely maps to the the range of materials we teach and research in the field of communication today. This model attempts to capture the fundamental interaction of language, medium, and message that enables communication, the socially constructed aspects of each element, and the relationship of creators and consumers of messages both to these elements and each other.\nWhile the field of communication has changed considerably over the last thirty years, the models used in the introductory chapters of communication textbooks (see Adler, 1991; Adler, Rosenfeld, and Towne, 1996; Barker and Barker, 1993; Becker and Roberts, 1992; Bittner, 1996; Burgoon, Hunsaker, and Dawson, 1994; DeFleur, Kearney, and Plax, 1993; DeVito, 1994; Gibson and Hanna, 1992; Wood, 2002) are the same models that were used forty years ago. This is, in some sense, a testament to their enduring value. Shannon's (1948) model of the communication process (Figure 1) provides, in its breakdown of the flow of a message from source to destination, an excellent breakdown of the elements of the communication process that can be very helpful to students who are thinking about how they communicate with others. It remains, however, that these texts generally treat these models as little more than a baseline. They rapidly segue into other subjects that seem more directly relevant to our everyday experience of communication. In interpersonal communication texts these subjects typically include the social construction of the self, perception of self and other, language, nonverbal communication, listening, conflict management, intercultural communication, relational communication, and various communication contexts, including work and family. In mass communication texts these subjects typically include media literacy, media and culture, new media, media industries, media audiences, advertising, public relations, media effects, regulation, and media ethics.\nThere was a time when our communication models provided a useful graphical outline of a semesters material. This is no longer the case. This paper presents the classic models that we use in teaching communication, including Shannon's information theory model (the active model), a cybernetic model that includes feedback (the interactive model, an intermediary model (sometimes referred to as a gatekeeper model of the two-step flow), and the transactive model. Few textbooks cover all of these models together. Mass Communication texts typically segue from Shannon's model to a two-step flow or gatekeeper model. Interpersonal texts typically present Shannon's model as the \"active\" model of the communication process and then elaborate it with interactive (cybernetic) and transactive models. Here we will argue the value of update these models to better account for the way we teach these diverse subject matters, and present a unifying model of the communication process that will be described as an ecological model of the communication process. This model seeks to better represent the structure and key constituents of the communication process as we teach it today.\nShannon's (1948) model of the communication process is, in important ways, the beginning of the modern field. It provided, for the first time, a general model of the communication process that could be treated as the common ground of such diverse disciplines as journalism, rhetoric, linguistics, and speech and hearing sciences. Part of its success is due to its structuralist reduction of communication to a set of basic constituents that not only explain how communication happens, but why communication sometimes fails. Good timing played a role as well. The world was barely thirty years into the age of mass radio, had arguably fought a world war in its wake, and an even more powerful, television, was about to assert itself. It was time to create the field of communication as a unified discipline, and Shannon's model was as good an excuse as any. The model's enduring value is readily evident in introductory textbooks. It remains one of the first things most students learn about communication when they take an introductory communication class. Indeed, it is one of only a handful of theoretical statements about the communication process that can be found in introductory textbooks in both mass communication and interpersonal communication.\nFigure 1: Shannon's (1948) Model of the communication process.\nShannon's model, as shown in Figure 1, breaks the process of communication down into eight discrete components:\nLike all models, this is a minimalist abstraction of the reality it attempts to reproduce. The reality of most communication systems is more complex. Most information sources (and destinations) act as both sources and destinations. Transmitters, receivers, channels, signals, and even messages are often layered both serially and in parallel such that there are multiple signals transmitted and received, even when they are converged into a common signal stream and a common channel. Many other elaborations can be readily described.. It remains, however, that Shannon's model is a useful abstraction that identifies the most important components of communication and their general relationship to one another. That value is evident in its similarity to real world pictures of the designs of new communication systems, including Bell's original sketches of the telephone, as seen in Figure 2.\nFigure 2: Bell's drawing of the workings of a telephone, from his original sketches (source: Bell Family Papers; Library of Congress; http://memory.loc.gov/mss/mcc/004/0001.jpg)\nBell's sketch visibly contains an information source and destination, transmitters and receivers, a channel, a signal, and an implied message (the information source is talking). What is new, in Shannon's model (aside from the concept of noise, which is only partially reproduced by Bell's batteries), is a formal vocabulary that is now generally used in describing such designs, a vocabulary that sets up both Shannon's mathematical theory of information and a large amount of subsequent communication theory. This correspondence between Bell's sketch and Shannon's model is rarely remarked (see Hopper, 1992 for one instance).\nShannon's model isn't really a model of communication, however. It is, instead, a model of the flow of information through a medium, and an incomplete and biased model that is far more applicable to the system it maps, a telephone or telegraph, than it is to most other media. It suggests, for instance, a \"push\" model in which sources of information can inflict it on destinations. In the real world of media, destinations are more typically self-selecting \"consumers\" of information who have the ability to select the messages they are most interested in, turn off messages that don't interest them, focus on one message in preference to other in message rich environments, and can choose to simply not pay attention. Shannon's model depicts transmission from a transmitter to a receiver as the primary activity of a medium. In the real world of media, messages are frequently stored for elongated periods of time and/or modified in some way before they are accessed by the \"destination\". The model suggests that communication within a medium is frequently direct and unidirectional, but in the real world of media, communication is almost never unidirectional and is often indirect.\nOne of these shortcomings is addressed in Figure 2's intermediary model of communication (sometimes referred to as the gatekeeper model or two-step flow (Katz, 1957)). This model, which is frequently depicted in introductory texts in mass communication, focuses on the important role that intermediaries often play in the communication process. Mass communication texts frequently specifically associate editors, who decide what stories will fit in a newspaper or news broadcast, with this intermediary or gatekeeper role. There are, however, many intermediary roles (Foulger, 2002a) associated with communication. Many of these intermediaries have the ability to decide what messages others see, the context in which they are seen, and when they see them. They often have the ability, moreover, to change messages or to prevent them from reaching an audience (destination). In extreme variations we refer to such gatekeepers as censors. Under the more normal conditions of mass media, in which publications choose some content in preference to other potential content based on an editorial policy, we refer to them as editors (most mass media), moderators (Internet discussion groups), reviewers (peer-reviewed publications), or aggregators (clipping services), among other titles . Delivery workers (a postal delivery worker, for instance) also act as intermediaries, and have the ability to act as gatekeepers, but are generally restricted from doing so as a matter of ethics and/or law.\nVariations of Figure 3's gatekeeper model are also used in teaching organizational communication, where gatekeepers, in the form of bridges and liaisons, have some ability to shape the organization through their selective sharing of information. These variations are generally more complex in depiction and often take the form of social network diagrams that depict the interaction relationships of dozens of people. They network diagrams often presume, or at least allow, bi-directional arrows such that they are more consistent with the notion that communication is most often bidirectional.\nThe bidirectionality of communication is commonly addressed in interpersonal communication text with two elaborations of Shannon's model (which is often labeled as the action model of communication): the interactive model and the transactive model. The interactive model, a variant of which is shown in Figure 4, elaborates Shannon's model with the cybernetic concept of feedback (Weiner, 1948, 1986), often (as is the case in Figure 4) without changing any other element of Shannon's model. The key concept associated with this elaboration is that destinations provide feedback on the messages they receive such that the information sources can adapt their messages, in real time. This is an important elaboration, and as generally depicted, a radically oversimplified one. Feedback is a message (or a set of messages). The source of feedback is an information source. The consumer of feedback is a destination. Feedback is transmitted, received, and potentially disruptable via noise sources. None of this is visible in the typical depiction of the interactive model. This doesn't diminish the importance of feedback or the usefulness of elaborating Shannon's model to include it. People really do adapt their messages based on the feedback they receive. It is useful, however, to notice that the interactive model depicts feedback at a much higher level of abstraction than it does messages.\nFigure 4: An Interactive Model:\nThis difference in the level of abstraction is addressed in the transactional model of communication, a variant of which is shown in Figure 5. This model acknowledges neither creators nor consumers of messages, preferring to label the people associated with the model as communicators who both create and consume messages. The model presumes additional symmetries as well, with each participant creating messages that are received by the other communicator. This is, in many ways, an excellent model of the face-to-face interactive process which extends readily to any interactive medium that provides users with symmetrical interfaces for creation and consumption of messages, including notes, letters, C.B. Radio, electronic mail, and the radio. It is, however, a distinctly interpersonal model that implies an equality between communicators that often doesn't exist, even in interpersonal contexts. The caller in most telephone conversations has the initial upper hand in setting the direction and tone of a a telephone callr than the receiver of the call (Hopper, 1992).In face-to-face head-complement interactions, the boss (head) has considerably more freedom (in terms of message choice, media choice, ability to frame meaning, ability to set the rules of interaction) and power to allocate message bandwidth than does the employee (complement). The model certainly does not apply in mass media contexts.\nFigure 5: A Transactional Model:\nThe \"masspersonal\" (xxxxx, 199x) media of the Internet through this implied symmetry into even greater relief. Most Internet media grant everyone symmetrical creation and consumption interfaces. Anyone with Internet access can create a web site and participate as an equal partner in e-mail, instant messaging, chat rooms, computer conferences, collaborative composition sites, blogs, interactive games, MUDs, MOOs, and other media. It remains, however, that users have very different preferences in their message consumption and creation. Some people are very comfortable creating messages for others online. Others prefer to \"lurk\"; to freely browse the messages of others without adding anything of their own. Adding comments to a computer conference is rarely more difficult than sending an e-mail, but most Internet discussion groups have many more lurkers (consumers of messages that never post) than they have contributors (people who both create and consume messages). Oddly, the lurkers sometimes feel more integrated with the community than the contributors do (Baym, 2000).\nExisting models of the communication process don't provide a reasonable basis for understanding such effects. Indeed, there are many things that we routinely teach undergraduates in introductory communication courses that are missing from, or outright inconsistent with, these models. Consider that:\nThe ecological model of communication, shown in Figure 6, attempts to provide a platform on which these issues can be explored. It asserts that communication occurs in the intersection of four fundamental constructs: communication between people (creators and consumers) is mediated by messages which are created using language within media; consumed from media and interpreted using language.This model is, in many ways, a more detailed elaboration of Lasswell's (1948) classic outline of the study of communication: \"Who ... says what ... in which channel ... to whom ... with what effect\". In the ecological model , the \"who\" are the creators of messages, the \"says what\" are the messages, the \"in which channel\" is elaborated into languages (which are the content of channels) and media (which channels are a component of), the \"to whom\" are the consumers of messages, and the effects are found in various relationships between the primitives, including relationships, perspectives, attributions, interpretations, and the continuing evolution of languages and media.\n|Figure 6: A Ecological Model of the Communication Process|\nA number of relationships are described in this model:\nA medium of communication is, in short, the product of a set of complex interactions between its primary consituents: messages, people (acting as creators of messages, consumers of messages, and in other roles), languages, and media. Three of these consituents are themselves complex systems and the subject of entire fields of study, including psychology, sociology, anthropology (all three of which study people), linguistics (language), media ecology (media), and communication (messages, language, and media). Even messages can be regarded as complex entities, but its complexities can be described entirely within the scope of languages, media, and the people who use them. This ecological model of communication is, in its most fundamental reading, a compact theory of messages and the systems that enable them. Messages are the central feature of the model and the most fundamental product of the interaction of people, language, and media. But there are other products of the model that build up from that base of messages, including (in a rough ordering to increased complexity) observation, learning, interpretation, socialization, attribution, perspectives, and relationships.\nIt is in this layering of interdependent social construction that this model picks up its name. Our communication is not produced within any single system, but in the intersection of several interrelated systems, each of which is self-standing necessarily described by dedicated theories, but each of which is both the product of the others and, in its own limited way, an instance of the other. The medium is, as McLuhan famously observed, a message that is inherent to every message that is created in or consumed from a medium. The medium is, to the extent that we can select among media, also a language such that the message of the medium is not only inherent to a message, but often an element of its composition. In what may be the most extreme view enabled by the processing of messages within media, the medium may also be a person and consumes messages, recreates them, and makes the modified messages available for further consumption. A medium is really none of these things. It is fundamentally a system that enables the construction of messages using a set of languages such that they can be consumed. But a medium is also both all of these things and the product of their interaction. People learn, create, and evolve media as a vehicle for enabling the creation and consumption of messages.\nThe same might be said of each of the constituents of this model. People can be, and often are, the medium (insofar as they act as messengers), the language (insofar as different people can be selected as messengers), or the message (one's choice of messenger can be profoundly meaningful). Fundamentally a person is none of these things, but they can be used as any of these things and are the product of their experience of all of these things. Our experience of messages, languages, media, and through them, other people, is fundamental in shaping who we become and how we think of ourselves and others. We invent ourselves, and others work diligently to shape that invention, through our consumption of messages, the languages we master, and the media we use.\nLanguage can be, and often are, the message (that is inherent to every message constructed with it), the medium (but only trivially), the person (both at the level of the \"language instinct\" that is inherent to people (following Pinker, xxxxx) and a socialized semiotic overlay on personal experience), and even \"the language\" (insofar as we have a choice of what language we use in constructing a given message). Fundamentally a language is none of these things, but it can be used as any of these things and is the product of our use of media to construct messages. We use language, within media, to construct messages, such as definitions and dictionaries) that construct language. We invent and evolve language as a product of our communication.\nAs for messages, they reiterate all of these constituents. Every message is a partial and incomplete precis of the language that it is constructed with, the medium it is created in and consumed from, and the person who created it. Every message we consume allows us to learn a little more about the language that we interpret with, the medium we create and consume messages in, and the person who created the message. Every message we create is an opportunity to change and extend the language we use, evolve the media we use, and influence the perspective that consumers of our messages have of us. Yet fundamentally, a message is simply a message, an attempt to communicate something we imagine such that another person can correctly intepret the message and thus imagine the same thing.\nThis welter of intersecting McLuhanesque/Burkean metaphors and interdependencies provides a second source of the models name. This model seeks, more than anything, to position language and media as the intermediate building blocks on which communication is built. The position of language as a building block of messages and and communication is well understood. Over a century of study in semantics, semiotics, and linguistics have produced systematic theories of message and language production which are well understood and generally accepted. The study of language is routinely incorporated into virtually all programs in the field of communication, including journalism, rhetoric and speech, film, theater, broadcast media, language arts, speech and hearing sciences telecommunications, and other variants, including departments of \"language and social interaction\". The positioning of the study of media within the field of communication is considerably more tenuous. Many departments, including most of those named in this paragraph, focus almost entirely on only one or two media, effectively assuming the medium such that the focus of study can be constrained to the art of message production and interpretation, with a heavy focus on the languages of the medium and little real introspection about what it means to use that medium in preference to another or the generalized ways in which all media are invented, learned, evolved, socialized, selected or used meaningfully.\nSuch is, however, the primary subject matter of the newly emerging discipline of media ecology, and this model can be seen as an attempt to position media ecology relative to language and messages as a building block of our communication. This model was created specifically to support theories of media and position them relative to the process of communication. It is hoped that the reader finds value in that positioning.\nModels are a fundamental building block of theory. They are also a fundamental tool of instruction. Shannon's information theory model, Weiner's Cybernetic model, and Katz' two step flow each allowed allowed scholars decompose the process of communication into discrete structural elements. Each provides the basis for considerable bodies of communication theory and research. Each model also provides teachers with a powerful pedagogical tool for teaching students to understand that communication is a complex process in which many things can, and frequently do, go wrong; for teaching students the ways in which they can perfect different skills at different points in the communication process to become more effective communicators. But while Shannon's model has proved effective across the primary divides in the field of communication, the other models Katz' and Weiner's models have not. Indeed, they in many ways exemplify that divide and the differences in what is taught in courses oriented to interpersonal communication and mass communication.\nWeiner's cybernetic model accentuates the interactive structure of communication. Katz' model accentuates its production structure. Students of interpersonal communication are taught, through the use of the interactive/cybernetic and transactive models that attending to the feedback of their audience is an important part of being an effective communicator. Students of mass communication are taught, through the intermediary/gatekeeper/two-step flow model, that controlled production processes are an important part of being an effective communicator. The difference is a small one and there is no denying that both attention to feedback and attention to detail are critical skills of effective communicators, but mass media programs focus heavily on the minutiae of production, interpersonal programs focus heavily on the munitiae of attention to feedback. Despite the fact that both teach both message production the languages used in message production, and the details of the small range of media that each typically covers, they discuss different media, to some extent different languages, and different approaches to message production. These differences, far more than more obvious differences like audience size or technology, are the divides that seperate the study of interpersonal communication from mass communication.\nThe ecological model of communication presented here cannot, by itself, remediate such differences, but it does reconsitute and extend these models in ways that make it useful, both pedogogically and theoretically, across the normal disciplinary boundaries of the field of communication. The author has made good use of the model in teaching a variety of courses within several communication disciplines, including on interpersonal communication, mass media criticism, organizational communication, communication ethics, communication in relationships and communities, and new communication technologies. In introductory Interpersonal Communication classes the model has shown considerable value in outlining and tying together such diverse topics as the social construction of the self, verbal and non-verbal languages, listening, relationship formation and development, miscommunication, perception, attribution, and the ways in which communication changes in different interpersonal media. In an Organizational Communication class the model has proved value in tying comtemporary Organizational models, including network analysis models, satisficing, and Weick's model to key organizational skills like effective presentation, listening, and matching the medium to the goal and the stakeholder. In a communication ethics class it has proved valuable in elaborating the range of participants in media who have ethical responsibilities and the scope of their responsibilities. In a mass media criticism class it has proved useful in showing how different critical methods relate to the process of communication and to each other. In each course the model has proved valuable, not only in giving students tools with which they can decompose communication, but which they can organize the course materials into a cohesive whole.\nWhile the model was originally composed for pedagogical purposes, the primary value for the author has been theoretical. The field of communication encompasses a wide range of very different and often unintegrated theories and methods. Context-based gaps in the field like the one between mass media and interpersonal communication have been equated to those of \"two sovereign nations,\" with \"different purposes, different boundaries\", \"different methods\", and \"different theoretical orientations\" (Berger and Chaffee, 1988), causing at least some to doubt that the field can ever be united by a common theory of communication (Craig, 1999). xxxxx The author repeatedly finds these gaps and boundaries problematic\nIt may be be that complex model of the communication process that bridges the theoretical orientations of interpersonal, organizational, and mass media perspectives can help to bridge this gap and provide something more than the kind of metamodel that Craig calls for. Defining media directly into the process of communication may help to provide the kind of substrate that would satisfy Cappella's (1991) suggestion we can \"remake the field by altering the organizational format\", replacing contexts with processes that operate within the scope of media. This perspective does exactly that. The result does not integrate all of communication theory, but it may provide a useful starting point on which a more integrated communication theory can be built. The construction of such theory is the author's primary objective in forwarding this model for your comment and, hopefully, your response.\nReference list in progress.\n*an earlier version of this paper was written, published on the web, and used in teaching classes in Interpersonal Communication, while the author was a visiting professor at Oswego State University/SUNY Oswego.

{"text": "Using AAC: Remembering the Importance of Communicating Offline\nMany thanks to Joan Murphy, our Talking Mats Founder, for this great blog sharing Jeppe Forchhammer’s thoughts about the importance of social communication – communicating ‘offline’ – for AAC users:\nI met Jeppe Forchhammer at the 2019 ISAAC Conference in Denmark. We had an interesting conversation about the importance of social communication for AAC users and he kindly sent me this presentation and gave me permission to write a blog about his views.\nHere are a few quotes from Jeppe but it is well worth reading his whole presentation\nWe have reached a time where communication systems become more and more electronic. I have noticed that children who need AAC ie augmented and alternative communication are starting more and more early. This I would like to question! In this lecture I will try to explain, why I think it is better to teach the children to use their body first. In order first to get direct communication relation to another person.\nI think it is most important for an AAC user first to learn to interact with another person face to face. This is of course important for all infants in particular if they don’t have a spoken language. I think the eyes begins naturally to take over and the baby begin to communicate. At least I began to observe what happened around me using my eyes by watching things around me. In this way I began early to take contact with people around me.\nI am afraid that AAC users in the future will lose some of their abilities to communicate with their body or facial expression. Especially if one starts too early. I think there is a risk that the child get blinkers and we have the risk that the child will be introvert. This might give the child some social problems if it doesn´t learn to use and read the body.\nWe must remember that a good relation is created face to face and not through a Speech Generating Device.\nIf they only communicate through their speech generating computer they may miss the face to face communication.\nMany thanks to Jeppe for his thoughtful and stimulating comments.\nIf you would like to contact him, please email email@example.com\nThe importance of social and non-verbal communication is highlighted in our Talking Mats training courses.

{"text": "CPR basics for children are important and can be potentially life saving.\nI am one of those people that schedules out the meals for the week on Sundays, writes down any appointments on the family calendar, and likes to plan out the day mentally in my mind when I wake up; I guess you could say I like to be prepared. But emergencies are not always something we are prepared for. Would you be able to do CPR if you had to? Would your child be able to?\nCPR, or cardiopulmonary resuscitation, is one first aid protocol that everyone should be acquainted with. This technique for reviving someone who has lost consciousness or the ability to breath is done through chest compressions and mouth-to-mouth breaths. The process is something you never want to think about doing – especially as a parent – but it’s a technique that you should be familiar with. But, do your children need to know it? The practice is being taught more often in schools, and for good reason. There’s no harm in preparing your child for any situation they may face, especially when it comes to saving a life.\nTeaching CPR in schools\nBeginning in 2016, new laws were passed in several states across the county requiring schools to train students in CPR before high school graduation. The knowledge and training related to first aid and CPR can be a valuable experience for children of all ages in understanding how they can prepare for emergency situations. By teaching CPR in schools, local governments are hoping that cardiac survival rates within communities will get a much-needed boost.\nThe appropriate age to train your children\nWhile there’s no specific age limit for training your child on CPR, you’re not going to train your toddler! For a frame of reference, I would recommend asking yourself if your child is capable and physically able to give compressions on an adult chest effectively. If your child is capable enough to dial 911, he or she is likely ready to begin the necessary training and understanding of the situation.\nWhen CPR can come in handy\nIt’s a scary realization that only about 46 percent of people who experience an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest get the immediate help that they need before professional help arrives. While a mother wants to think they, or a responsible adult, is always around their child; it is more likely that your child is always around another child. It stands to reason that children know the proper protocol to take in a time of need.\nAdditionally, children between the ages of 10 to 12 typically begin taking jobs as babysitters. Teaching babysitters about child and infant CPR will help give them the tools they need to be confident with their new responsibilities. Although children are nowhere near as strong as adults in performing CPR in an effective manner, it’s important to keep them informed of the process if there is ever a time for them to utilize these skills.\nWhat you should know about teaching your children\nOnly you as a parent can know what your child is capable of understanding. If you think they might be ready, your first steps can be teaching them the basics of CPR, along with the functioning of respiratory systems. This will better help them understand the benefit and purpose of CPR.\nOf course, children don’t have the same attention span as adults so you might not want to fill them with too much information at once. Try working on it for at least 10 minutes and then refreshing it with them the next day to see if they understood. You can even try to make a game out of it!\nAnd speaking of safety, there’s nothing safer (and more fun) than a Jump Sport trampoline. Discover how your children can have fun, with safety that will last a lifetime!", "label": "No"}
{"text": "The bona fide group theory, originally developed by Linda Putnam and Cynthia Stohl, identifies a set of theoretical concepts that enable researchers to move away from studying small groups as if they were isolated, decontextualized, and without history and study groups in context. This perspective was first articulated in a special 1990 issue of the journal ommunication Studies, in which several well-known communication scholars called for the discipline to pay greater attention to groups within their natural environments. These scholars argued that groups form the foundation of our social lives, our work endeavors, and our cultural and political experiences. Group communication facilitates or hinders a society’s ability to thrive. After decades of studying small groups as if they were completely distinct from contexts, it was time for communication researchers to move beyond “container models” of group communication. Collectively, they agreed there was a need to have theories and constructs that enable an understanding of the multilevel, embedded, interpretive, emotional, and rational processes of groups.\nSince the early 1990s, several theoretical perspectives have emerged that provide richer, deeper, and more nuanced understandings of groups in context. Going beyond functional approaches, researchers have incorporated structurational, interpretive, feminist, critical, and bona fide theories into smallgroup studies. Bona fide theory has been used to explore communication processes in contexts such as juries, surgical and health teams, environmental collaborations, management boards, community theater, fund-raising, online support, and adolescent peer groups. Research methodologies have also become more diverse. Discourse analyses, ethnographic studies, quasi-experimental designs, surveys, and laboratory experiments all have been used to study groups from a bona fide perspective.\nBona fide group theory posits that all groups manifest permeable boundaries and interdependence with context. The theory provides a set of concepts and relationships to explore these essential characteristics regardless of whether groupsare experimentally created and manipulated, occurnaturally in face-to-face environments, or are computer mediated. The bona fide group theory is a nascent theory insofar as a standard set of postulates and theorems have yet to be developed. However, over the past 18 years, numerous theoretical papers and empirical studies have illustrated the ways in which it is a useful and vibrant framework for the study of group processes as they emerge and are embedded in larger contexts.\nLittlejohn, Stephen W and Karen A.Floss.

According to Merriam Webster dictionary, mathematics is the science of numbers and their operations, interrelations, combinations, generalizations, and abstractions and of space configurations and their structure, measurement, transformations, and generalizations. Whereas Cambridge dictionary defines mathematics as the study of numbers, shapes, and space using reason and usually a special system of symbols and rules for organizing them. However, Mathematical components such as subtraction, addition, multiplication and division divide the student into two extremes; they either enjoy it or detest it.\nHaving maths in the elementary and higher classes in schools make the students mentally more agile and also prepare them to tackle the various challenges of life. Every technical discipline has math as a mandatory subject in their syllabus. Not only this, every entrance examination for higher education has some form of mathematical question in their papers. Students tend to bypass math due to lack of adequate study material and lack of clear concepts right from the elementary levels. With the advent of Internet the offline classroom education has received a facelift. The shift to the online mode has been steady and rapid.\nFinding online study material is very simple and hassle free as these can be accessed from anywhere and anytime. It makes the student smarter and technologically sound. Online study material are pocket friendly and are in sync with the exam pattern of the school. Examinations that have always been a area of great stress, can now be easily addressed with the availability of the right study material for the exam.\nThe poor understanding, misplaced focus, lack of time and clear concepts are other common issues faced by the students; and all this results in poor grades or failure.\nKeep your worries at bay and take a slice out of your busy schedule, to taste the flavour of stress- free exam time.

{"text": "Exclusion means preventing a rightful heir from having any share of the deceased’s estate due to the PRESENCE of another heir. The principle behind who excludes who is the degree of closeness to the deceased. The closer relatives will exclude those who are not so close. For example, son will exclude grandson. A grandson can only inherit in the absence of a son since the latter is closer to the deceased than the former. Note that there is a difference between exclusion and impediments to inheritance. In exclusion, a “stronger” heir eliminates a “weaker” heir while impediment has to do with preventing an heir from inheriting due to circumstances like murder, difference of religion, slavery, etc.\nThere are two types of exclusion: total and partial. The definition above refers to total exclusion. Partial exclusion means reducing the share of the estate an heir should have gotten due to the existence of another heir. For instance, a husband inherits half (½) of his wife’s estate if she has no child, but supposing she has a child even if from a previous husband, he gets one-quarter (¼) of her estate. This reduction from ½ to ¼ is called partial exclusion. Meanwhile, we intend to concentrate on total exclusion. So, unless otherwise specified, whenever we say “exclusion,” we mean “total exclusion.”\nNow, among the heirs (male and female), there are those I call “basic heirs,” because they cannot be excluded irrespective of who is present. They are: son, daughter, father, mother, husband and wife. The worst that can happen to them is to be partially excluded. Exclusion is quite a complex concept. Thus, we will try to simplify it using analogies. Do not mind any repetitions. They are for easier and clearer understanding.\nLet’s say that an individual ‘X’ (who may either be a male or female) has two sons ‘A’ and ‘B’. ‘A’ has 2 sons and a daughter while ‘B’ has a son and 3 daughters. This means that ‘X’ has 7 grandchildren (3 sons, 4 daughters).\na) If ‘A’ and ‘B’ are absent (i.e. have died), when ‘X’ eventually passes on, the 7 grandchildren will replace or represent their fathers and inherit from his estate.\nb) Supposing ‘A’ and ‘B’ are both present at the time ‘X’ dies, they will exclude their children from having any share of ‘X’s’ inheritance.\nc) If at the time ‘X’ passes on, only ‘A’ is present, (i.e. ‘B’ has died before ‘X’), the 4 children of ‘B’ cannot take the place of their father to inherit from ‘X’ due to the presence of ‘A’. This means that ‘A’ will exclude both his children and the children of his brother ‘B’. But this rule applies exclusively when ‘A’ is a SON and not a daughter. Therefore,\nRule 1: A son excludes ALL grandchildren.\nModifying the analogy a bit, if ‘A’ were to be a daughter and ‘B’ a son, what happens?\na) Assuming ‘A’ and ‘B’ are both absent when ‘X’ dies, only the 4 children of ‘B’ will inherit from him. The children of daughter ‘A’ are non-heirs.\nb) If ‘A’ and ‘B’ are present at the time ‘X’ passes on, they will exclude the children of ‘B’.\nc) On the other hand, if ‘B’ died before ‘X’, and ‘A’ is the only surviving child, she will NOT exclude the children of ‘B’. However, this does not mean that ‘B’s’ children will take the place of their father or will be entitled to their father’s share of the estate. A new sharing formula is to be created for them [We shall see the details of this sharing formula with numeric examples Insha Allah. Here we are just interested in discussing who excludes who and in what circumstance(s)]. This brings us to the next rule of exclusion.\nRule 2: A daughter does not exclude grandchildren [i.e. children of her late brother(s)].\n- Male heirs\n- Female heirs\n- Non heirs\n- Impediments to inheritance\n- YOU ARE HERE: Exclusion\n- Exclusion – Part 2\n- Exclusion – Part 3\n- Note on difference of opinion\n- Inheritance of children\n- Inheritance of spouses\n- Inheritance of parents\n- Inheritance of grandparents\n- Inheritance of siblings\n- Residuaries (‘Asabah)\n- Partial exclusion\n- Inheritance arithmetic (“inherithmetic”)\n- Procedure of solving inheritance problems\n- Levels of inheritance problems (Level one)\n- Level one – continued\n- Lowest Common Multiple (LCM)\n- Highest Common Factor (HCF)\n- Prime numbers\n- Increment of base number (‘Awl)\n- Level two – Part 1\n- Level two – Part 2\n- Level two – Part 3\n- Level two – Part 4\n- Level three\n- Inheritance of grandfather along with siblings\n- Inheritance of grandfather along with siblings in the presence of other heirs\n- Special cases\n- Summary of rules\n- Further reading\n- Solutions to exercises\nYour Questions, Our Answers\nWe have received a number of emails from those who visited this website or downloaded and read INHERITANCE IN ISLAM.

There is a direct link between the development of good character, a solid work ethic, and academic success. A preeminent learning environment is created when mutual respect is shared between teachers, students, and peers. A school wide approach to character education allows students to be exposed to these fundamental values year after year. Character lessons are woven into academics, physical education and athletics, art, music, and, of course, service learning. Monthly acts of kindness allow students to transform a character trait into an act of service.\nCommunity service is an important component of character education at Sullins and demonstrates to students that how they lead their lives really does matter. Children in all grades take part in all-school projects as well as grade-level projects.\nThe community service program seeks to establish within the Sullins school community a sense of civic responsibility rooted in the habit of service.

{"text": "Designing your PCB\nOn this webpage you will learn how to create the finished PCB design in KiCad. For this tutorial you will need the netlist file generated in the last tutorial. The netlist file contains the schematics and the footprints belonging to the components. You can just sit back and see your PCB components added onto your design. If you are a visual type there is even a 3D view for you.\nStep 1: Open 'Pcbnew' editor\nNow that the netlist is ready if you would like you can close the electronic schematic editor and please open the Printed circuit board editor by clicking on the Pcbnew icon (Figure 1) on the KiCad main window. This editor is used for designing the PCB board by placing component footprints on it and connecting the pads of the components with wires.\nStep 2: Set basic settings and load netlist\nBefore starting designing you need to set the basic properties of the design. In the next tutorial you will print the design and this is why this is so important so please open PCB properties (Figure 2 - 1.). After filling out the form you will see some of the properties on the bottom of the page (Figure 2 - 2.). Now you need to select the grid that you would like to use for your design by choosing the appropriate option with the right mouse button pop-up menu.\nNow it is time to load the netlist (Figure 3 - 1.) and start designing for real. The netlist contains the components, the footprints and the schematics. After loading the netlist you will see all the footprints added onto the design (Figure 3 - 2.).\nStep 3: Set position of component footprints and draw connections\nOn the right side of the designing window you will see a column containing layers. Select the 'Edge.Cuts' layer and draw the frame of your board. The bunch of footprints added to your design does not look good so you need to position them in the frame and leave more air between them. (Tip: Press 'r' to rotate component.)\nNow you need to set the design rules and with the rules set you need to draw the connections between the footprint pads. These connections will be the copper wires left on your PCB board these wires will carry electricity. With KiCad you are able to design 2 sided boards. The 2 layer sides for the wires are 'F.Cu' (front copper) and 'B.Cu' (back copper). You can find these layers in the right column (Figure 4).\nStep 4: Place NPTH drill holes\nIf you would not like to screw your board onto a surface you can leave out this step. Otherwise you will need NPTH drill holes for the screws. Add the holes by clicking on the correct icon (Figure 5) and clicking on the black surface.

By right clicking on the middle of the hole and selecting 'Pad on.../Edit pad', you can set the parameters of the hole. You need to set it to NPTH, add 'B.SilkS' to the technical layers, set the diameter dimensions and clearances.\nStep 5: Set copper zone, duplicate zone to back layer and start DRC\nNow you need to select the outline of the copper zone starting with clicking on the green icon as seen on the right side of Figure 6. Select one of the corners of the frame and choose the type of copper zone you would like to create and select the border of the zone. In our example the zone border is equal to the border of the board. You need to duplicate the zone to the front layer too (right click 'Zones/ Duplicate Zone Onto Layer'). When the zone borders are ready you will see 45° lines crossing each other. The green lines represent the back border while red lines represent the front border.\nTo fill out the copper zone you need to perform a DRC (Design Rules Check). Figure 6 shows how to start it. The design rules check is capable to do multiple tasks like filling and testing zones or discover unconnected pads but if you try it out you will see the number of numerous tasks it can do.\nIf you would like to see your PCB board in 3D like it is shown on Figure 7, you can find the '3D viewer' in the 'View' menu which is one of the top menus. You can watch the 3D view anytime during the PCB design.

This data on its own is in some cases not sufficient to determine what is happening on the ground, under the radar, in small localised areas. When radar detects cloud and storm formations which may cause tornadoes, hail or other severe weather locally, volunteer observers on the ground are asked to report observed conditions such as:\n- Hail: anything greater than 1cm (0.4\")\n- Wind: anything stronger than 80-90 km/h (50-55 mph)\n- Heavy Rain: 25 to 50mm/hr (1-2\"/hr) or more\n- Poor visibility, flash flooding, storm damage, snow accumulations greater than 2.5cm/hr (1\"/hr), freezing rain\n- Tornado, Twister: ALL sightings.

When weather office radar spots severe weather, on-air directed nets are used to request local on-the-ground observations which are then relayed to weather forecasters for use in predicting local conditions.

Unfortuantely, I forgot to buy/save fireworks even though they are safer now.\nOctober was a very important month in 1776:\n12th – British Brigade begins guarding Throgg Necks Road in Bronx\n18th – Battle of Pelham: Col John Glover & Marblehead regiment meet British Forces in Bronx\n26th – Benjamin Franklin departed from America for France on a mission to seek French support for the American Revolution.\n28th – Battle of White Plains; Washington retreats to NJ\nNot to mention:\nThe Battle of Valcour Island 11 October 1776\nWhy then is it such an important battle? Because to deal with the threat posed by this rag-tag American fleet, the British expended precious time to assemble their own naval force, costing them the opportunity to invade the United States along the route of the Hudson River during the campaign of 1776. After their victory, they retreated to Canada, regrouped, and waited until the next spring to begin driving southward. By then the Americans were better prepared and the invaders were unsupported because the main British army in America had left New York. As a result, the Americans forced the surrender of the invading force at Saratoga, New York. This victory, in turn, convinced France to ally itself with the United States, broadening the American Revolution into an international conflict and stretching British resources to the breaking point. Thus a little-remembered naval battle changed the course of the war and led directly to American victory.\nIn 1789 (the year the Consititution was ratified) it was Oct 2nd that George Washington transmitted the proposed Constitutional amendments (The United States Bill of Rights) to the States for ratification. He also declared the first national Thanksgiving to take place in November 1789.\nSo October is a fine month to celebrate Independence day.", "label": "No"}

To address these concerns, Burgoon, Stern, and Dillman developed IAT and formally introduced their theory in 1995. IAT built on previous theoretical work on interpersonal adaptation and dyadic interaction processes, particularly expanding Burgoon’s expectancy violations theory, and provided a more comprehensive explanation of interpersonal adaptation by incorporating a stronger emphasis on biological and sociological influences.

{"text": "A new magazine entitled “greenLIFESTYLE” has claimed that its raison d’être will be to provide “exciting ideas and inspiration for a sustainable lifestyle.” As such, the magazine is jumping on the bandwagon: sustainability has become a buzzword over the last few years, rapidly increasing in prominence in the public consciousness. The importance of sustainability for industry and trade is growing, too. Manufacturers in a wide variety of sectors are now using the concept sustainability to push their products. So, this begs the question: to what extent does sustainability really affect consumers’ consumption and purchasing behavior?\nA research cooperation between the University of Potsdam, HHL Leipzig Graduate School of Management, Leibniz University of Hanover, Brunswick University of Technology and the GfK Verein is conducting a feasibility study as a joint project for a survey instrument developed by the four universities to measure awareness of sustainable consumption.\nThe aforementioned universities have developed a tool (for consumer surveys) which can determine all aspects of the sustainability of consumption behavior on the basis of a number of fundamental – and cross-sector – statements. It consists of a scale of 24 items (12 in the short version) and takes into account the three pillars of sustainability: improving the quality of environmental, social and economic life.\n(For more information see: Balderjahn, Buerke, Kirchgeorg, Peyer, Seegebarth, Wiedmann (2013): Consciousness for sustainable consumption: scale development and new insights in the economic dimension of consumers’ sustainability, AMS Review: Volume 3, Issue 4 (2013), pp. 181-192.)\nThe scale and survey can be broken down as follows: Environmentally friendly consumption may include, for example, products manufactured in a climate-friendly way which conserves raw materials. It may also be distinguished by a preference for the use of recyclable materials, among other things. Socially conscious consumption is defined by ensuring that consumption behavior does not have an adverse effect on others. Socially conscious consumers place great importance on the ethical treatment of production workers and are keen for companies to comply with international labor standards. Economically sustainable consumption values the principle of moderation, depending only on one’s own financial resources. The Sharing Economy, which promotes alternatives to product ownership such as the sharing, exchanging and borrowing or renting of products, for example, is also a fundamental component of this concept.\nToday, it is relatively simple for consumers to reconcile questions of ethics and morals with environmentally friendly and socially conscious attitudes. However the crux of the matter for scientists and economists is the extent to which these statements have an effect on the respective consumer’s behavior. It was precisely this issue which was the focus of a survey conducted by the GfK Household Panel for 10 selected products from the daily consumer goods segment. The survey used the tool developed by the universities mentioned previously.\nFor this survey, the abridged version consisting of 12 items was used with a partial sample of the panel. The focal points of the study were the pillars of environmental and social awareness. However, the economic pillar also plays a role. As the analysis focused on product categories which cover the basic (in some cases vital) needs of consumers, there are no effects to be determined in this context. As another study* reveals, this is not the case for consumer durables.\nIn creating a link with the panel, consumer’s responses relating to the items can be compared with their actual purchasing behavior over the course of many months (including in the past). The panel records the actual purchases. These are recorded on an ongoing basis by the respective head of household using a scanner. These are then transmitted to GfK. The panel data set used within the framework of this study was a representative partial sample consisting of 3,335 of the approximately 30,000 households overall. The study recorded purchase decisions in ten product groups for 2014 as a whole. Eight of the product groups were in the food and drink segment. An important factor in purchase decisions was the availability of organic or Fairtrade products: specifically bananas, eggs, fruit juice, yogurt, milk, roasted coffee, ice cream and chocolate bars. Two further product groups were attributable to the hygiene segment (household cleaning agents and toilet tissue).\nThe survey reveals that, in general, there is strong agreement with ethical/moral statements. This makes a realistic economic assessment of sustainability issues via surveys difficult, as their relevance is often overestimated when responses are considered in absolute terms. For this reason, households were divided into tertiles for the purpose of the survey instrument in question. In concrete terms, this means that for each of the sustainability pillars, respondents were allocated to one of three groups of similar size depending on their level of environmental or social awareness. The lower tertile group has a comparatively lower level of awareness, independent of the absolute level of the responses given. The median tertile can be described as having a moderate awareness of sustainability issues. The upper tertile expressed an above-average level of environmental or social awareness. These three groups are compared with each other on the basis of their purchasing behavior with regard to three categories: organic, environmental and Fairtrade products**.\nFirst, the good news: The survey instrument passed the practical test. With regard to share of expenditure on organic and Fairtrade products, clear differences can be identified between the upper tertile (households which are particularly environmentally or socially conscious) and the other two groups.\nThe results show that households with high a level of environmental awareness are often more likely to be socially conscious too, and vice versa. Their spending behavior in these two regards is similar. Approximately 10% of their budget for the ten product groups included in the survey was spent on organic products. In the case of the six Fairtrade product groups, these figures were above 3% in each case. Far lower shares were observed for the households in the lower tertiles. However, it is interesting to note a slight variance in the middle groups for the two categories. While the figures for ‘moderately’ environmentally conscious households showed little increase on less conscious households, the difference was more marked in the case of social awareness. The households in this category represent a definitive outlier in terms of their spending patterns, assuming the middle ground between the upper and lower tertiles.\nHowever, now comes the not-so-good news, which provides some food for thought: Households with a higher awareness of sustainability issues only devote a relatively small proportion of their expenditure to organic or Fairtrade products. Clearly, other factors do come into play here: more or less reliable or extensive availability of products and the price difference between organic, Fairtrade and regular products. Environmentally and socially conscious individuals are also less willing to spend money. Attention must also be paid to the trade-off with regard to regionality and the distance to the country of origin, which naturally also involves transportation as well as factoring in long-lasting ties with, or preference for, particular brands or tastes (even within the individual families). This sheds new light on the respective expenditure shares. Furthermore, the clear differences between the different product groups show that organic and Fairtrade are just two of the key factors behind a purchase decision. This also applies to the most sustainability-conscious respondents.\nAs organic bananas – which are often also of Fairtrade origin – can now be found in nearly every supermarket, they are also the most purchased organic product. However, organic and Fairtrade ice cream is the proverbial needle in a haystack – far more difficult to find in the frozen foods aisle. The shares of household expenditure on organic ice cream are also correspondingly low. In addition to bananas, environmentally conscious consumers are more likely to purchase eggs, milk and yogurt from the organic shelves. Each of these products boasts a double-digit share of the respective product budget. However, in the case of Fairtrade products, only bananas are purchased in noteworthy quantities. Socially conscious households invest an average of 18% of their banana budget on Fairtrade bananas.\nIn addition to limited availability, price is also a barrier to sales. Organic and Fairtrade products are often far more expensive than their conventional counterparts. For the product groups included in this survey, the survey showed that organic eggs and organic chocolate cost almost twice as much. As far as fruit juices are concerned, organic variants are subject to markup of around 150%. Fairtrade ice cream costs three times as much as normal ice cream, for chocolate the increase was approximately 135% and roast coffee cost almost 10% more. The additional cost for organic and Fairtrade bananas was around 30%. This shows that environmentally and socially conscious consumers must accept a (sometimes substantial) price markup for sustainable products.\nHowever, this is not the case for all organic products. Household cleaning agents and toilet tissue can even be found for cheaper. In fact, there does not appear to be a significant correlation between environmental or social awareness and increased purchase frequency of environmentally friendly products instead of the conventional alternatives in these product groups.\nYet it is clear that sustainable consumption is not primarily driven by lower prices. As the following example shows, the reverse in fact applies: “From €0.25 per head for a light lentil soup or €1.20 for a potato and chickpea soup; ravioli with a tofu and spinach filling for just €0.55 and around €1.80 per head for a dish of tagliatelle with eggplant and goat cheese” – these recipes and prices are just a snippet of what can be found in “Arm aber Bio! Das Kochbuch”, a cookbook which provides organic recipe ideas for tight budgets. This book is Rosa Wolff’s second tackling this subject, in which she shows that price is not the only factor in purchase decisions, revealing also how a pinch of ingenuity and a dash of creativity can help extend the limits and possibilities of your grocery budget. Commenting on the publications, one particular critic was in a provocative mood: “No more excuses!” Organic produce suppliers would do well to follow this advice and inform consumers more effectively as to how nutritious, sustainable meals can be prepared on a budget.\n* In 2014, a representative online survey also financed by GfK Verein (sample size: approximately 2,000 people) was carried out using the same instrument. It revealed a correlation between an awareness of economic issues and consumer behavior in the context of high-value consumer goods (household appliances, smartphones and clothing, for example).

Yet tragically, half of all children born today will experience family breakdown by the age of 16; this breakdown is particularly acute in the most disadvantaged communities.\nDysfunctional family life and chaotic relationships can ruin the lives of those involved and damage children, particularly in their earliest years. We know that family formation affects the outcomes of children and general wellbeing: evidence clearly demonstrates that two-parent families are the most stable. Within this, marriage is the strongest form of relationship: according to recent research 97 per cent of intact couples with 15 year old children are married. As well as social damage, the breakdown of families has a significant economic impact. The annual cost of family breakdown is estimated at £47 billion. It is essential that the Government puts strong families and early intervention at the centre of its social and economic reform.", "label": "No"}
{"text": "We are pleased to announce a new report, Public Perceptions of the Health Consequences of Global Warming, based on data from our national survey conducted in October 2014. We find that Americans are generally unaware of the potential health consequences of global warming. When asked what global warming-related health problems, if any, Americans are experiencing, only about one in four respondents (27%) were able to name at least one health problem known to be related to global warming.\nMoreover, with the exception of respiratory problems including asthma and other lung diseases (14%) and illness, injury, and death caused by extreme weather (6%), fewer than 5% of Americans identified any other known health risks of global warming, which include, among other illnesses, insect and water-borne diseases and heat stroke.\nThe survey also found that only one in three Americans (32%) correctly understands that global warming disproportionally harms the most vulnerable members of our society. Young children, the elderly, lower-income Americans, the sick, racial and ethnic minorities - these are just some groups of Americans that are especially vulnerable to the health impacts of global warming.\nMost Americans don't yet know that climate change threatens human health. This suggests the need for a public health education campaign to help Americans understand the health risks of climate change.\nThese findings come from a nationally-representative survey - Climate Change in the American Mind - conducted by the Yale Project on Climate Change Communication and the George Mason University Center for Climate Change Communication.\nJanuary 06, 2015", "label": "No"}

One of the most common causes is foot rot, which occurs when the skin between the toes is injured or irritated and subsequently infected. The primary pathogen is Fusobacterium necrophorum, a common anaerobic bacteria. The infection can be aggravated by other common bacteria, including E. coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Foot rot kills the tissue between the toes and results in swelling or erosions that may cause the toes to spread apart.\nIt is important to minimize the possibility of abrasion from rough surfaces, gravel, and hardened or frozen mud. Standing in water or mud for long periods can also create problems. Keeping pen surfaces as dry and smooth as possible can minimize injuries and reduce the chance of foot rot. Mineral deficiencies can reduce skin integrity and cases of foot rot seem to be more prevalent when zinc, selenium and copper are deficient.", "label": "No"}
{"text": "History Behind the Story #3: Civil War Era Fashion\nThe female lead in Southern Rain, Shannon Ravenel, is a very fashionable young woman. She was launched into society in Charleston, which was the largest city south of Philadelphia, and it was filled with extremely wealthy and cultured residents, where the marriage market was a bitterly-fought contest. So a girl’s gotta look the part! Shannon’s mother pushes her to make bold fashion choices which set her apart from the other girls hoping to snag a wealthy planter, and the Ravenels spare no expense on her wardrobe. Often, families such as Shannon’s would go as far as sending to Paris for cloths or even full gowns, and they would have been very sure that they were on the cusp of American fashion.\nSo what were the fashions? Hoop skirts, certainly– we all know about and are terrified by those. But there was a lot more to it, so let’s dive in!\nFirst, I should note that the majority of women in the Victorian Era had only two or three dresses at any given time. However, wealthy women like Shannon would have changed dresses two or three times in one day alone. Women like Shannon and her mother would have had wardrobes full of gowns – day gowns, walking gowns, ballgowns, not to mention riding habits and mourning gowns.\nSo let’s start with underpants! These would have been called drawers and would have usually been white cotton or linen. Then we have the chemise, which is like a long nightgown that covers everything. After that, there would be garters on the thigh which hold up stockings (nothing but silk, dear), and then over the chemise there be the corset with whalebone boning, tightened with laces up the back or sometimes in the front. Then the hoops would have been attached by tying the top around the waist. What we typically think of is the wire-looking contraption that was made of whalebone or steel and collapses up or down and is covered with fabric petticoat. However, there were other options, including layering of voluminous petticoats (which is why ladies often say my skirts plural), as well as a crinoline, which might mean a cage crinoline like the traditional steel hoop skirt or might simply mean a really stiff fabric to give the dress structure. Then you would don the corset cover and voila! You’re ready to start getting dressed. (Unless you need to put on sleeve plumpers. Or a lace fichu. Or– this is exhausting.)\nYou would first don a morning dress, which was plain and was generally prim – buttoned up to the throat and perhaps featuring a print or just being plain. You would go up and shimmy that off if you had to step out to do some shopping or take a walk through an obliging field and put on instead a plainer, more sensible walking gown which had a matching fitted coat which ended halfway down the skirt and looks rather like a cute doctor’s coat. And for heaven’s sake, don’t forget your parasol and hat. But wait! Your beau has called and would like to go riding with you (properly chaperoned, of course) and so you must run upstairs, strip down, and wrestle on your riding habit (these actually stay quite similar through the years with a fitted coat and long skirt to cover any accidental indecency caused by hoisting oneself over a side-saddle). Remember your hat, gloves, and riding whip. And if you are not too exhausted to make it to dinner or the ball, your evening dress will be of a more expensive material such as silk or satin and would generally be off the shoulders or almost so and have decorations such as lace, beads, flounces, artificial flowers, or even jewels. And don’t forget your shawl. And gloves. And jewelry. And hair décor. And reticule. And fan. And handkerchief. Do you have everything? With evening or ball gowns, you would wear slippers made of satin, velvet, or even crochet. And of course, if a near relative had died, all of this would be black for the appropriate time period.\nWhew. On to color. Ladies were encouraged by popular magazines to engender harmony and nature and lalalala! So we see some wild colors like bright green and weird pinks, as well as bold patterns like stripes or plaids. But of course, we also see more traditional colors like creams and blues and reds. Shannon’s favorite color is a sort of emerald green because she knows perfectly well it is becoming with her rusty red hair.\nLet’s take a break and talk fashion influences. First of all, ladies would have read fashion periodicals like Godey’s Lady’s Book, so American women were very much influenced by European fashion. There would be fashion plates which showed you the possibilities, and you can still find a lot of these in antique stores today! The perfect silhouette was the hourglass, with a tiny nipped in waist. The skirt reached its full breadth and bell shape right before the Civil War, and after that narrowed just slightly with an almost unnoticeable flattening in the front, which grew more pronounced as we get on toward the 1870’s. You would have been told that the wide pagoda sleeves were the most fashionable for morning and walking gowns and that a collar of a lighter fabric was also becoming. Also, there was also always this undercurrent influenced by the Pre-Raphaelites which encouraged medieval style like juliette sleeves. And there was Queen Victoria, who influenced fashion her whole life. There’s a lot going into the pot of stew here, isn’t there?\nAs soon as the Civil War kicked into gear, everything went military, which is a fashion I actually love. We see lovely double-rows of buttons marching down ladies’ bodices, structured shoulders, and military-style hats. We also see velvet patches on the shoulders or sleeves reminiscent of officers’ uniforms, as well as cuffs on the sleeves. Also, your winter coat would have had extremely wide sleeves and been reminiscent of an officer’s greatcoat. Gray seems to have been a very popular color for all of this.\nAnother way the war had its influence was in jewelry. The Victorians are known to be very sentimental, and their jewelry was no exception: you might carry the hair of a husband, beau, son, or brother in a ring or necklace if you were separated by the war or death. And of course, those items made the perfect accompaniment to your mourning wardrobe which, unfortunately, most women had to acquire over the course of the war.\nWomen were starting to flex their muscles as nurses, and if you were working in a hospital, more than likely you would have left off the impractical hoops and just would have worn a couple of petticoats, along with a white apron and white sleeve covers. And if you were a Southern woman cut off from Northern textile mills due to the blockade, your skirts, if you had new ones made, would have likely been a lot narrower because they simply didn’t have the fabric to spare. But for the most part, there was constant re-wearing.\nLadies’ fashion from the era is so intricate and fascinating that it would be easy to say blah, blah the men wore suits, but I’ll try to give a brief sketch. Basically, there were suits. But I have to say, they were really good suits. This is my favorite era for men’s fashion, actually. As long as you were tall and thin, you were destined to look elegant. Trousers were full length, often with a stripe down the side. Neckcloths were really wide and often tied into a floppy bow. Waistcoats were high to the chest but ended at the top of the hipbones.\nMen had lots of wardrobe changes during the day, as well. Basically, there was the mid-length sack coat worn for business occasions, the morning coat for more formal day occasions, and the dark tail-coat and white cravat for evening wear. We all know about the top hat, but there were other hats, too, such as the bowler.\nOkay, so that’s it for today, but there still a whole lot of information out there if you’re interested!

While there is no one \"right\" way to become a champion, we promote several key components to being a successful, healthy individual. Those key components are simple: Eat, Sleep, and Play! Healthy habits prepare you for a happy, healthy life and here is our instruction manual for healthy habits within your family and community.\nHealthy Eating Habits\nEating healthy is an essential component of living a healthy lifestyle. Good nutrition is the foundation for lifelong health and it is important that healthy eating habits start early. Unfortunately, children, especially in America, are constantly bombarded with fast food, soda, candy, and other unhealthy foods so it is crucial that parents take an active role in encouraging wholesome diets. Instilling healthy eating habits now can make a huge impact on your child's lifelong relationship with food.\nParents and caregivers play an important role in not only making healthy eating decisions for children but also teaching them to make those same healthy decisions on their own. In order to do this there is an important step: BE INFORMED!\nMaking your own food plans as a family can help encourage your children, as well as yourself, to eat healthier as a unit. And children will imitate what you do so it is important that you are also engaging in healthy eating habits. The family that eats healthy together lives healthy together! Choosemyplate.gov is an extremely useful website with tons of tip sheets that you can print and go over with your whole family. Get your own daily food plan!\nThe most essential part of eating healthy is making sure you are eating balanced meals. The keys to a healthy plate are fruits, vegetables, grains, protein, and dairy. Check out these tips to help you ensure you are getting balanced, nutritious meals.\n- Build a Healthy Meal\n- Got Your Dairy Today?\n- Eat More Veggies\n- Make Half Your Grains Whole\n- Focus on Fruits\n- Variety in Proteins\nHealthy Sleeping Habits\nEvery living thing needs sleep; especially growing boys and girls. It is a vital need that is essential to a child's health and development. Sleep promotes alertness, memory, and performance (both mental and physical). It is important to help children develop good sleep habits early on and we are here to help you do just that!\nJust like with eating habits it is important that parents and caregivers are knowledgeable about the correct sleeping habits for children. So once again let's GET INFORMED!\nHere are some useful sleep tips for kids:\nBeing Active is a Very Healthy Habit!\nGetting your child to be active everyday is one of the healthiest habits that you can instill in them. Obesity has drastically increased in American children and this can lead to diabetes and other chronic obesity-related health problems later on in life. Physical activity is an essential component of a healthy lifestyle and it is important to cultivate this type of lifestyle early on. To get started check out what Blue Shield of California has to say about physical activity for children and teens.\nKids and Exercise: Exercise for kids does not have to be a chore. Kids are exercising when they have gym class at school or soccer games on the weekend, but they are also being physically active when they are running around at recess, riding a bike, or playing with the dog. There are many benefits of exercise and it is important that children are getting enough physical activity on a daily basis.\nMotivating Kids to Be Active It is vital that you help make being active something that your child wants to do, not is forced to do. Finding activities that they like to do is the key to helping your child really make physical activity a part of their lifestyle.\nSigning Your Kids Up for Sports: Sports are a great way to help your child to be more active as well as to help them gain other skills such as teamwork, discipline, and sportsmanship.\nJust like a food or sleep journal, keeping an activity journal is a great way to get kids thinking about physical activity as well as keeping them accountable for their healthy habits. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, children and adolescents should do at least 60 minutes of physical activity each day. This is an easy way to help them and you keep track while teaching your children to take responsibility for their own healthy habits.\nFor some other useful resources click here\nPrintable version Printable version", "label": "No"}

{"text": "Last week we discussed what a Judge might do during a Civil Action when considering cell phone data. As a reminder, during this blog series, we are examining facts from the viewpoint of a court that must apply legal principles to the facts as outlined here:\n‘X’ is employed by a corporation. She was issued the latest version of a cell phone by the corporation (“the corporate phone”). X had a choice between accepting the corporate phone and using it exclusively for business purposes while keeping an earlier model cell phone she owned (“the personal phone”) or merging the data from the personal phone into the corporate phone. She chose the latter because she did not want to carry two phones. When she made the choice, X signed a document by which she acknowledged that the corporate phone and all content was the property of her employer.\nAssume that X is a salesperson. She was approached by a business rival which proposed that X work for it. X had\nsigned a non-competition agreement and also agreed not to misappropriate trade secrets. X left the corporation to work for the rival and, when she did so, she was allowed to purchase the corporate phone. After she went to the rival her former employer found itself being outbid on contracts with prospective customers whenever it bid against the rival. The corporation went to the FBI. The FBI secured an order compelling X to turn over her former corporate phone so that the FBI could access and review text messages and email between X and the rival. However, the FBI could not access any content because the phone was encrypted. When the FBI sought to enforce the order X said she could not remember the password that she could use to unlock the phone.\nWhat might a judge do?\nA judge might do several things. First, the judge could consider whether X had a Fifth Amendment privilege not to unlock the phone because doing so might incriminate her. If the judge finds that unlocking the phone would violate the Fifth Amendment the FBI could offer X immunity for anything that it might find. The judge would then presumably order X to unlock the phone. Then, assuming that X states that she still cannot remember the password, the judge would have to decide whether X was credible. If so, the judge would presumably do nothing. If, however, the judge found X’s lapse of memory to be dubious the judge could hold X in contempt and order her taken into custody until she unlocked the phone. From that point forward X would be deemed to hold the proverbial key to the jailhouse door in her hands.

{"text": "PDCA is an acronym for Plan-Do-Check-Act, the continuous improvement process prescribed by Walter Shewhart. Dr. Deming helped to popularize this model, as well as proposed his own improvement cycle, Plan-Do-Study-Act, which circles back again to the plan phase in a continuous loop. The underlying theory maintains that comparing the actual results of an action with the target or expected goal and adopting corrective actions if the disparity is large, is a more effective strategy than focusing inordinately on developing a flawless plan. PDCA delivers incremental improvements in an upward spiral.\nThe PDCA cycle provides a continuous feedback loop to effectuate continuous improvement efforts. The four steps involved are described below:\n• PLAN: Identify through analysis the problem to be solved or change to be implemented. Determine what needs to be done and in what order.\n• DO: Develop and implement the solutions (start with a pilot).\n• CHECK/STUDY: Gather and analyze the data to evaluate performance and report the results.\n• ACT: Use the conclusions from the last step to decide if the solution could be further improved. If deemed effective, standardize the solution to incorporate it into routine activity and start planning for the next improvement opportunity (on this or another process).\nThe adjoining graphic illustrates some of the Six Sigma DMAIC tools that can be used at different phases of the PDCA cycle.\nPDCA Overview - American Society for Quality (ASQ) - http://asq.org/learn-about-quality/project-planning-tools/overview/pdca-cycle.html", "label": "No"}
{"text": "You are here\nThe Problem of Man’s Origin: E.C Messenger's conclusions at the end of \"Evolution and Theology\"\nWe here endeavour to sum up the results of our study of the theological aspect of the origin of living beings in general, and of man in particular.\nAs to the origin of living beings in general, we consider that the Scriptural statement that this was due to secondary causes, i.e. to powers implanted in inorganic matter by the Creator, and the unanimous interpretation of this Scriptural statement by Fathers and Theologians up to the thirteenth century, cannot and must not lightly be set aside. It was set aside indeed by the Aristotelian Scholastics in the thirteenth century, but for reasons based upon the scientific and physical ideas of their time. That is to say, if the decrees of the Biblical Commission had been issued in the time of St. Thomas, the Angelic Doctor would evidently have maintained that this was a case in which “reason forbids, or necessity compels” us to abandon, the literal sense. But we are now convinced that the reason which led St. Thomas to abandon in this way the long-standing tradition of the Fathers was an erroneous one. How does the matter stand to-day? Science has shown that there is absolutely no evidence that spontaneous generation takes place now. But that does not prove that it could not take place if conditions were different, or that it did not take place at the beginning—in fact, there are many scientists who think this must have happened. In any case, as the scientific conclusion is rather of a negative character—that is, it does not prove that spontaneous generation never took place—we ourselves prefer to base our belief in the spontaneous generation of life at the commencement on theological grounds, i.e. the testimony of Scripture and Tradition.\nAs to the evolution of species, we consider that the scientific evidence, consisting as it does of so many converging lines, is sufficient to give a fairly high degree of certitude concerning the fact of, at any rate, some evolution, though opinions must necessarily, differ as to the mode. And from the theological point of view, we consider that evolution is the only reasonable way of harmonizing our modern knowledge of the succession of geological epochs, with their flora and fauna, with the Scriptural statement that the earth produced all the present-day species.\nFrom the scientific point of view, there is so far no conclusive evidence that man has evolved. There are certain facts that seem to point that way, but we think we may safely regard the theory itself as a working hypothesis, or, better still, as an inference. But as an inference, it is very attractive. If, as we have said, all other species arose by some sort of evolutionary process, it is but natural that we should consider it likely that man was also in some way evolved, even though there may be no convincing scientific evidence as yet that he has done so. Indeed, science may never succeed in finding any decisive evidence on the point.\nFrom the theological point of view, we must repeat that, in our own view, scripture yields only a negative result. That is to say, Scripture neither teaches nor disproves the .doctrine of the evolution of the human body. This we infer on two grounds:\n(1) Scripture constantly ascribes to God the results of the activity of secondary causes; hence the absence of any mention of secondary causes does not prove that such were not present.\n(2) The phrase in Genesis 2,7, “God formed the man dust from the earth” has an exact parallel in Genesis 2,19, “God formed all the animals from the earth.” But we know from Genesis ii. that the animals were all produced by the earth. Therefore we cannot prove that man was not produced by the active powers in nature.\nAs to tradition several Fathers of great weight and standing, including Doctors of the Church, teach that man was formed, at least in part, by the activity of secondary causes. Other Fathers, it is true, regard the formation of Adam's body as peculiarly the work of God, but their Scriptural exegesis is faulty here, and moreover their view is explicitly rejected by other Fathers of great weight, including Doctors of the Church. The only Patristic text definitely excluding the co-operation of material causes in the formation of man is a worthless Homily wrongly ascribed either to St. Basil or St. Gregory of Nyssa.\nThe attitude of the scholastic was at least in part a consequence of their physical and scientific theories.\nChurch authority has so far abstained from determining the question, which is therefore to all intents and purposes still an open one.\nMany modern theologians are hostile to the theory, but their opposition would seem to be based upon a too literal interpretation of the Scripture, misunderstanding of the Patristic evidence, and an exaggerated notion of the effect of certain Roman acts, doctrinal and disciplinary.\nWe now come to the question of the partial co-operation of created secondary causes in the production of the human body.\nThis is a difficult and delicate subject, but we very tentatively make the suggestion that it could be discussed under the three heads comprising the famous Scotist argument for the Immaculate Conception —“potuit, decuit, ergo fecit.”\n1. Potuit. God could have made use of secondary causes as instruments, in the formation of the human body. The abstract possibility is allowed, we think, by practically all responsible theologians, and so we need not develop this point.\n2. Decuit. This may be thought to be the most debatable point of the three, but we think it is the easiest to answer, in virtue of what we have called the “Principle of Christian Naturalism.” This principle may be expressed as follows: “God makes use of secondary causes wherever possible.” This principle runs counter completely to the ideas of those theologians who argue that because God must have immediately created the human soul, He must also have formed immediately the human body. The principle is such an important one the we must develop in a little.\nAs St. Thomas points out in his masterly treatment in Contra Gentes, Book III, c. 69, if God has given being to created things, He must also endowed them with activities, and further, if He did not makes use of these activities so far as possible, He would be acting against His own Divine Wisdom. Here are two passages from the Angelic Doctor:\n“He who gives to a thing some principal characteristic, also give to it all those things which follow upon this. Thus the cause which gives to an elementary body heaviness also give it a downward motion. But to make something to be in act follows upon being act, as is evident in God, for He is pure act, and is the first cause of being in all things, as said above. If then He has communicated to other things, His own similitude as to being, inasmuch as He has produced things in being, it follows that He also communicated to them Him similitude as to acting, so that created things may also have their proper actions.”\n“It is against the nature of wisdom that there should be anything in vain the works of a wise person. But if created things in no way operates in producing effects, but God alone did all things immediately, then it would be to no purpose that He had made other things capable of producing effects.”\nThis theory of God’s use of secondary causes becomes all the more luminous when we remember that all secondary causes must be regarded ultimately as His instruments. He is the great First Cause, and from Him comes all that has being. Created things would not exist if He did not give them being; they could not produce any effect if He did not concur with their activities and powers. Created agents, then, are instruments in the hands of the Deity.\nBut it is also true that there are grades in this instrumental causality. Thus, there are some created agents which themselves make use of others, and moreover, the effects they produce by means of these instruments are proportioned to their own natural powers as created causes. On these grounds they may truly be said to be, in the created order, the principal causes of the effects produced. Thus a sculptor is the principal cause of the statue he carves with a chisel, and again, human parents are the principal causes of their children. These effects cannot strictly be attributed to the instrumental causes employed, though these are active throughout, for the effects are not proportioned to the proper activity of these instruments. Thus we cannot say strictly that a chisel has produced a statue, or that the embryonic forms have generated the human child.\nThere are other cases in which created agents do indeed make use of others, yet the effects are out of proportion even to the activity of the created “principal” causes. In such cases the effects cannot strictly be attributed to the created “principal” causes, but only to the true principal cause, which may have to be sought outside the created order, in God Himself. This would be the case in the hypothesis of spontaneous generation, as also in that of the evolution of species in general, and of man's body in particular. The production of the first human body was an effect out of proportion to any organic cause then existing on the earth, for the human body is specifically different from, and superior to,, any other body, as we remarked on p. 86. Hence its production, though brought about through the instrumentality of created organic causes, could not strictly be attributed to those causes, but (inasmuch as we have good reasons for excluding angelic agency) only to God Himself. Thus the production of the first human body could properly be said to be due to a “special” display of Divine activity, or a \"special Divine intervention \" if that phrase is preferred, and yet it would remain true that secondary organic causes co-operated in its production. And inasmuch as the whole creation was meant to lead up to man, we think it in every way fitting that God should thus have made use of secondary causes in the formation of Adam’s body.\nLastly, if anyone should think that the suggestion that God acts through secondary causes wherever and whenever possible is not consonant with the Divine dignity, we suggest that he should read and reflect on the wonderful chapter of St. Thomas in the Contra Gentiles, III c. 77, “Quod executio divinae providentiae fit mediantibus causis secundis.” Space will not allow us to transcribe it here. Or again he might reflect upon the profound philosophy contained in the remark of Mother Carey in Kingsley’s Water Babies: “I am not going to trouble myself to make things ... I sit here and make things make themselves” (p. 228).\n3. Fecit? We put a mark of interrogation here deliberately. We ourselves are inclined to conclude, on the theological grounds just outlined, that nature did co-operate in the formation of Adam's body. There are two reasons, however, which counsel prudence in this matter.\nThe first is the attitude of Ecclesiastical Authority. After all, a Catholic does not assent to a doctrine simply because he thinks it is explicitly taught in Scripture or Tradition, but because it comes to him on the authority of the Church, the Divine Teacher sent by God to man. The Church guarantees that the doctrine in question is really contained in Scripture or Tradition. After all, it belongs to the Church alone to interpret both Scripture and Tradition. A private interpretation of the Scriptures may easily be erroneous, and as to the Fathers, some of these held opinions which were not approved subsequently by the Church. St. Augustine leaned towards Traducianism, St. Gregory of Nyssa toward Restitutionism, and so on. Should the Church decide that Adam's body was formed immediately and exclusively by God from inanimate matter, a Catholic author, who had hitherto held the contrary would at once wholeheartedly admit that his own interpretation of Scripture had been incorrect, and that those Fathers whose ideas he adopted and developed were not safe guides in the matter. The Church has, it is true, not yet decided the question, but it 'is always possible that she might see fit in her wisdom to do so some day, and hence the need for caution in the matter.\nSecondly, we have the hostile attitude adopted by so many modern theologians. We ourselves think that this attitude is a mistaken one, and cherish the hope that a reconsideration of the matter may lead them to take a wider view, as has happened in the case of the evolution of species in general. But so long as theological opinion remains what it is, a Catholic would do well to hesitate before adopting definitely a view to which so many authors are opposed.\nAccordingly we think it on the whole preferable for a Catholic to suspend his judgment on the matter at the present moment, or at least not to give any unqualified assent to the evolutionary hypothesis. And so we end on a note of interrogation: “Fecit” ?\nE.G. Messenger, Evolution and Theology. The Problem of Man’s Origin (New York: The Macmillan Co., 1992), pp. 274-280.", "label": "No"}

{"text": "Every now and then we hear about new technologies, Information and Communication Technologies or the latest gadget revolutionizing or deeply transforming institutions as we know them. Laptops will transform Education and Twitter will revolutionize democracies (and non-democracies too).\nI may well be that some of these technologies or tools end up capsizing our worlds, but it is usually not so. Indeed, revolutions or transformations are a matter of attitudes, which many times can be driven by aptitudes.\nWelzel, Inglehart & Klingemann describe in The theory of human development: A cross-cultural analysis three stages towards full human development:\nWe can consider the “objective choice” as having the appropriate resources and tools to achieve a material level of development. Or, better said, the material tier to achieve full development. New technologies, Information and Communication Technologies or the latest gadget totally fit in this category. And they might be necessary conditions, but surely not sufficient ones.\nThe second tier focuses in the subjective choice, that is, in wanting or being personally able to foster developmental change. Having a civic centre in your neighbourhood is to the objective choice what having the will to participate in community activities is to subjective choice. Of course, the subjective choice is strongly related with education and culture.\nIn a knowledge society, education strongly correlates with digital literacy, understood in a very broad and comprehensive manner. In From laptops to competences: bridging the digital divide in higher education I presented the following scheme to a comprehensive approach to digital literacy (and which I later put into practice in Analyzing digital literacy with a single simple tweet):\nOn the other hand — and as it was described in Personal Learning Environments as conscious learning strategies — we can consider four stages in the cycle of technology adoption:\n- Appropriation: you learn how to use the technology (e.g. you learn to write in MS Word).\n- Adaptation: you substitute your old technology for the new one, but you still do the exactly same things (e.g. you get rid of you typewriter and use MS Word instead).\n- Improvement: your technology allows you to perform some new tasks, or the old ones in a more efficient way (e.g. you use the track changes and commenting feature of MS Word to let others collaborate with your original document)\n- Transformation: the way things worked changes radically because of technology (e.g. you use a wiki to create a collaborative document, shared online and edited in real time with videoconference support).\nIf we put side to side the Cycle of Technology Adoption with the comprehensive model of digital skills, we end up with quite a handy comparison:\nChance or not, the way the comparison is built shows how appropriation requires technological literacy and a little bit of informational literacy. That is, to lean how to use a specific ICT tool it does not suffice with knowing how to operate it, but also knowing its relationship with information. I know the comparison could be built in many other ways and these “conclusions” vary quite a lot, but what is shown is interesting to say the least. In this very same train of thought, adoption (getting rid of old technology) implies full informational skills plus some media literacy. When it comes to improvement, it cannot be done without taking into account that digital presence (digital identity, digital personna, etc.) is a crucial part of this new communicational landscape that a Knowledge Society is.\nBut we began talking about transformation of institutions by means of technology.\nIt should surprise anyone that transformation requires e-awareness, that is, the competence to be aware, acknowledge and understand how the world — as a whole and as your own microcosmos — is changing and will keep on changing because of the impact of Information and Communication Technologies. Without this understanding, it is almost impossible to transform anything. Without the a comprehensive awareness of the impact of ICTs it is very unlikely that one can transform anything at all (least a institution such as Education or Democracy) by means of ICTs.\nOf course, there is always room for chance and luck. But the next time that it is stated that “technology X will transform Democracy” or that “the device Y will transform Education”, a necessary question should follow: does the general usage of this technology or device aligns with a full awareness of the impact of ICTs in the field? does the fosterer of such technology or device has full awareness of the impact of ICTs in the field?\nMost of the times, the answers will be “no” and, thus, the specific technology or device will not be transformative. Don’t get me wrong: improvement is just great.\nIf you need to cite this article in a formal way (i.e. for bibliographical purposes) I dare suggest:\nPeña-López, I.

{"text": "Tiaras can be defined as an ornamental, often jeweled, crown-like semicircle worn on the head by women on formal occasions. Traditionally, the word \"tiara\" refers to a high crown, often with the shape of a cylinder narrowed at its top, made of fabric or leather, and richly ornamented. The kings and emperors of some ancient peoples in Mesopotamia used it. The Assyrians used to include a pair of bullhorns as a decoration and symbol of authority and a circle of short feathers surrounding the tiaras top.\nThe Persian tiara was more similar to a truncated cone, without the horns and feathers but more jewels, and a conic-shaped tip at its top. In the Roman Catholic Church, the Papal Tiara is a high cap surrounded by three crowns and bearing a globe surmounted by a cross-worn by the Pope during certain ceremonies, being the symbol of his authority.\nIn modern times, however, a tiara is generally a semi-circular band, often metal-made and decorated with jewels, which is worn as a form of adornment and not as a symbol of rank. It is worn by women around their head or on the forehead as a circlet. They are frequently used to \"crown\" the winners of beauty pageants and are also sometimes worn by the bride as part of a wedding outfit.

{"text": "Ben-Gurion University unveils AI platform for predicting ALS progression\nBGN Technologies, the tech transfer company of Beersheba’s Ben-Gurion University, has unveiled an artificial intelligence-based platform to monitor and predict the progression of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease.\nThe platform analyzes demographic and clinical data of ALS patients using machine learning and data mining algorithms to produce models that can predict the rate and pattern of ALS progression, identify factors essential for the prediction, and generate reliable stratification to homogeneous sub-groups of the heterogeneous ALS population.\nThere is currently neither a cure nor an effective treatment to halt or reverse the progressive disease.\nDeveloped by Prof. Boaz Lerner of the university’s Department of Industrial Engineering and Management, the platform is soon set to be expanded to benefit patients suffering from other diseases including Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.\nAccording to Lerner, the system provides three key benefits for those diagnosed with ALS or other neurodegenerative diseases, as well as caregivers and pharma companies.\nThe first benefit, Lerner told The Jerusalem Post, is the ability to reduce uncertainty and improve the patient’s and caregiver’s quality of life.\n“If we can predict, for example, that the patient’s walking or speech ability will deteriorate in six months, he or she can organize the home to address their needs or move to a more appropriate environment, or start looking for a specific device to communicate with people.

{"text": "The concept of artificial intelligence is nothing new. Since antiquity, philosophers and mathematicians have been discussing “thinking machines”.\nYou can find traces of this idea in many modern and classic stories if you look closely. From Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein to today’s blockbuster Terminator, you can see traces of the idea in many stories.\nIt was only during World War II when some advancement of turning the idea into reality first appeared. Pressured with decoding the Nazi’s Enigma Machine, the faculty at Bletchley Park tried their hardest to research and understand computers, logic, and mathematics.\nOne person who was highly influential in these parts was one Alan Turing. It was through his and his companion’s efforts that led to the development of theoretical computer science and the formalization of the concepts of algorithm and computation with the Turing machine.\nDespite his rather unfair (an understatement) treatment after the war, his influence in the field of computation was undeniable. Today, he is widely considered to be the father of theoretical computer science and artificial intelligence.\nWhile there were more significant advancements in artificial intelligence in the following years, it wasn’t in recent years that people have seen its use (and misuse) in recent years.\nAI has been a huge success story in the early years of this decade. Artificial Intelligence has learned to recognize faces, write articles, and “make” art pieces from huge advancements in machine learning.\nThese may all seem like positive developments, but the progress of AI is not always positive. In the field of art and graphic design. The reception of AI-generated art has met with highly negative reviews. This has a lot to do with how AI is “taught” in making art which some have likened to stealing and blatant plagiarism.\nFacial recognition has also not been altogether positively received. Concerns about privacy and security were often cited as the main driving force against the technology. Despite that, facial recognition AI has seen its fair share of use commercially. Most newer-model smartphones and innovative technology have facial recognition as a means of security.\nWriting, particularly in content, commerce and copywriting, is one area where AI is accepted. AI requires more human touch than in the other areas. This is because AI can’t fact-check or even get the tone right.\nAs such, artificial intelligence in writing is more of a tool rather than a full-on replacement in this field.\nThis is evident by the fact that there is a growing number of tools and applications that serve as content spinners or article rewriters that are more often embraced than shunned.\nThis could be due to the fact that many writers view a lot AI-generated writing simply as a translation from what they think in their heads. Only a human brain is capable of thinking up new ideas. Not a computer.\nIf you prefer visuals, this video reviews The Lap Life’s YouTube channel. To get a comprehensive overview of Word Ai, you may still want to check out our article below.\nWordAI: A Review of the AI-Powered Automatic Rewriter How WordAi Zero\nWordAI is a natural language processing (NLP) technology that enables the automatic generation of content from human-written text.

WordAIs allows you to focus on one article and then move on to the next in a shorter time. How WordAi Zero\nYou also don’t need to worry about the quality of your writing. Heck, you might even be surprised at the result. Some of your writing might even become better. With the vast vocabulary that is stored in WordAi, you might be surprised by what it can process.\nGrammar is also something you can relax about. Just as with most things, WordAi is taught proper grammar. You don’t have to worry about how the article looks, since it is fully readable and complete according to human standards.\nIt is still a good idea to check what WordAi generated for you. Although it may be tempting to let it do all of the work, WordAi is still a tool. It can lead to embarrassing situations if you are careless or blase.\nThis could even cause a decrease in the quality and quantity of your writing. Because AI is imperfect, this is what happens. While it is tempting to believe that everything the WordAI spits out is already usable, there will be times when errors occur.\nThese errors can come in many different types. It might generate the same paragraphs in multiple sections. These errors may be grammatical errors. These errors could also be caused by incorrect information or incorrect facts.\nNo matter where it comes from, the fact of the matter is that you should not entirely leave all of your writing in WordAI. To ensure high-quality writing and no errors, you should always check the text it produces. How WordAi Zero\nWordAI in Blogging\nBlogging has been around for as long the internet has. Blogging is also a mainstay of online culture. Although most people don’t need to be introduced to blogging, we will provide some definitions.\nBlogging is defined as the act of creating and publishing content on an online blog. It can also refer to maintaining or contributing to a blog and engaging in conversations with readers in the comments section.\nBlogging typically involves writing about a certain topic or sharing personal experiences, opinions, and ideas.\nNow, one thing about blogging is that most often think they are for one-time use, that they are articles that will be published and forgotten. It is typical of bloggers to write a blog, publish it, get internet traffic for it, leave it be and forget about it.\nMost do not realize that Blogs can also be reused and updated with more relevant information. Blogs that are old and stale can be updated to bring life back to them. This has a lot of positive effects.\nFor one, refreshing an existing blog also means its search ranking will be refreshed. Some pages are lucky enough to have a refreshed blog that can positively impact their SEO.\nThis approach to blogs saves you a lot of time, effort, money, as well as other resources that are required for running and researching a blog. This beats creating a blog post from scratch. Besides, this blog entry already has a built-in audience.\nIf people find it compelling in the past, why not update it with more information?\nSo what do AI and WordAI specifically have to do with this? Well, there is a lot, actually. WordAI can be used to quickly expand and rewrite content. People often only add a few paragraphs to blogs when they are updated.\nUsing an AI article rewriter like WordAi eliminates the effort and time required to update your old content. This automatically refreshes your content in no time at all with that done. This allows you to focus your efforts on expanding and updating your content. How WordAi Zero\nYou can include more relevant and up-to-date information. Of course, this includes increasing your post’s word count if it was originally too thin. You can use the new section to explore new information or other materials related to that topic.\nWordAI in Creative Writing\nWhen AI and creative writing are placed in the same room, it might seem like a curse. WordAI, an AI program that allows you to create and edit text, can be a blessing.\nWhen it comes to creative writing, Artificial Intelligence (AI) can be an invaluable tool. AI is able to analyze text and provide structured data. This can be used to help determine the style and preferences of a writer.\nThese data can be used for suggestions about sentence structure and word choices, and to aid in the development of characters and plot structure. Additionally, AI can help automate mundane tasks such as researching topics or finding images that match the tone of a piece of writing. AI is also useful for engaging with readers: using algorithms to analyze user feedback on articles or stories and making recommendations based on these results.\nArtificial intelligence technologies, such as natural language processing (NLP), have potential applications for automatic summarization or storytelling. This allows computers to create stories from large data sets.\nAI opens up many opportunities for creative writers. It allows them to work more efficiently, produce better work and access new ideas easily.\nAll of this may sound good and all, but not all creative writers might feel comfortable doing this. AI is not something that creative writers should ignore. If they really feel the challenge of overcoming AI, they can use AI-generated text to set a goal.\nAI-generated work has a source. This source is built from previously written works that are collated and collected. AI-generated work is therefore predictable.\nThis may not be a problem with marketing or blog posts, but it can be a problem in creative writing.\nThe thing is, for a piece of creative writing to really break the mold or to make a name for itself, it must break the mold that has already been established. How WordAi Zero\nIt is okay to stick with established tropes. However, it would be boring work if it did not. Creating something new takes work. While some do it better than others, inevitably, writers will stumble upon the age-old problem of writer’s block. How WordAi Zero\nSo how can a creative writer use an AI text rewriter to beat writer’s block? They can use AI to generate text, and perhaps find inspiration in these generated texts.\nThey can also use the generated text as something to avoid in their story. After all, a story that an AI cannot write is something new and something that is unpredictable by most.\nWordAI for Academic Writing and Research\nAI writing is accepted in most fields with some trepidation. However, academic writing and research have a strong case for supporting it. Text generators and AI rewriters work best when accurate information is available. How WordAi Zero\nAcademic writing is a field where facts and results are already known. AI word generators can help to make the most of these findings.\nAI rewriters like WordAi can help academia by re-phrasing difficult or lengthy passages in research papers, simplifying complex material for easier understanding, and creating unique research summaries into shorter content pieces.\nIt can also help improve text’s readability, replace jargon or colloquial language with more formal alternatives, and even identify topics that may warrant further exploration. WordAi is a time-saving tool that allows researchers to quickly create drafts of their research, which can be further refined or modified through manual review.\nWordAI for Resume Optimization\nA resume or a curriculum vitae is something that you present to prospective employers so that you can land a gig, a job, or a position. If you want to be accepted for your dream job, it is crucial that your resume is well-written.\nThis task has become more difficult each year due to the increasing competition in the job market.\nIt is important to ensure that your resumes are professional in order for recruiters to read them. WordAI, an AI text generator like WordAI, can help you create a better resume. WordAI can optimize your resume by:\n- Incorporating up-to-date industry keywords into resumes to improve search rankings.\n- Text optimization techniques and natural word processing are used to correct typos and errors.

WordAI is a great tool to have at your disposal. How WordAi Zero\nBesides, WordAi makes your resume as eye-catching and noticeable as possible. Being accepted for the job will entirely be on you.\nWordAI for your Business\nContinue reading this article to see that WordAI offers a Custom Entrepreneur plan as an option in its price plans.

The bacterium, called Streptococcus pneumoniae, can cause infections of the blood, middle ear, the covering of the brain and spinal cord (meningitis) and pneumonia.\nThe new vaccine covers six more types of the bacterium than the original Prevnar vaccine, which covered 7 types. However, new versions of the bacterium keep popping up, says the Children’s Medical Center head of infectious disease Dr. Jeffrey Kahn. “It is a moving target.” That is why it is so important for research into infectious diseases to continue and to be vigilant for new forms of bacterial disease than can be prevented by new vaccines, he says.\nFor example, when Prevnar was approved in 2000, it addressed seven types of the bacterium that caused about 80 percent of the infection and reduced the rate of the infection in infants and children caused by these seven types by 99 percent. By 2007, however, it was found that of the remaining cases of the infection, 62 percent were caused by six other types of the bacterium. These 6 types are now included in Prevnar 13.\nWelcome to the new and improved Children’s Health Patient Family blog!

{"text": "Existentialism is difficult to define. This is due, in large part, to the fact that although it was conceived as a serious philosophical doctrine, it has been frequently vulgarized to the level of some loosely related styles of writing or, worse yet, to a fad, so that the existentialist label gets applied to authors or ideas that are only remotely, if at all, connected to existentialist philosophy. More significantly, a further complication derives from the fact that, as is the case with so many philosophies, the ideas proposed by various existentialist thinkers often do not share any one cardinal point. For example, Martin Heidegger, one of the major voices of the existential philosophy, vehemently chides Jean-Paul Sartre, a giant of existentialist thinking in his own right, for misunderstanding the term existence and thus debasing the label existentialism to mean some kind of nihilistic view on life and human history. Moreover, even when existential philosophers draw on the same author as a common source of their thinking, they disagree so substantially over the interpretation of this source that the end products are hard pressed to form a coherent system of thought.\nDespite all the differences among existentialist thinkers, however, there is nevertheless a core theme around which their respective works orbit, a theme that gives what is called existentialism a recognizable contour and helps gather diverse writings as parts of a distinct philosophical perspective. This theme—also known as one of the battle cries of a general philosophical revolt taking place in Europe during the early decades of the 20th century—can be stated as follows: Existence precedes essence. If existentialism has made any significant contribution to philosophy, this contribution can be measured by what this statement means to suggest.\nLittlejohn, Stephen W and Karen A.Floss. (2009).

{"text": "I have a few queries related to interpretation of certain terms in Minitab related to Regression(GLM) and ANOVA. There are a few statistical concepts which I encountered in my research and I am taking the liberty of asking about them as well.\n1) What is the difference between ANOVA in Regression and ANOVA in general as displayed in Minitab? In general how should one interpret ANOVA in regression?\n2) When we look at ANOVA output in Minitab we also see an R-Sq value. Where does this come from?\n3) I understand what residuals are but why should one do a normality test on residuals? Also I have read that post a regression test residulas should be plotted against predicted values. Why?\nExcept for the specifics of Minitab (which I dont know so I cant comment on) you are asking some very large, broad brush questions the answers to which are beyond the scope of a forum of this type.\nIll offer the following Chapter 9 Applied Regression Analysis 2nd Edition Draper and Smith will give you a very readable explanation of the issues you raised in questions #1 and #2. Pages 8-24 and Chapter 3 of the same book will give you a detailed explanation of #3.\nThe short, relatively non-informative answers to your questions are as follows:\nFor #1 and #2:\nANOVA and regression are two sides of the same coin. From pp. 423 One frequently used method of analysis on data is the analysis of variance technique. It is usually treated as being something foreign to and quite different from general regression, and some workers are unaware that any fixed-effect (sometimes called Model I) analysis of variance situation can be handled by a general regression routine, if the model is correctly identified and if precautions are taken to achieve independent normal equations… One though behind this comment is the fact that the question “What model are you considering?” is often met with “I am not considering one – I am using ANOVA.” The realization that a model exists for all ANOVA situations, and that it and it alone is the basis for the construction of an ANOVA table, might be aided by knowing that ANOVA is, practically equivalent to a regression analysis …So where does R2 come from – it arises as a basic check of the amount of variance explained by the ANOVA.\nRegression is just the simple act of algebraically fitting a line/surface through a cloud of points and the equations for doing this can be found in any basic book on regression. Regression ANALYSIS, on the other hand, involves assessing the fit of the surface and the correctness of the terms in the regression. This assessment requires the following assumptions:\n1. The errors are normally distributed\n2. They have a mean of zero\n3. They are statistically independent\n4. They have a constant variance\nThe assumptions of normality of the residuals is needed to validate the use of the t and F distributions as exact distributions for construction of test statistics (of the significance of the model terms) and confidence intervals. Thus you need to check the distribution of the residuals to confirm the adequacy of the regression effort. (A word of caution – you REALLY want to plot the residuals and not just slavishly count on normality tests. The reason for this is that it is very easy to fail one or more of these tests. An acceptable plot of the residuals – histogram, normal probability plot, etc. – will tell you whether or not this failure matters.\nAs for plotting residuals against predicted – that is all part and parcel of the act of Regression ANALYSIS. The investigator examines these plots for patterns – some of the more common ones are – linear trends, curvilinear trends, V mask shapes, residual banding. Each of these patterns provides understanding with respect to the adequacy of the model fit and the need for things such as term addition, variable transformation, etc. Again, Chapter 3 of the referenced book will have the details.\nIf you can’t get this book through inter-library loan another good reference which addresses the regression parts of your question is Regression Analysis by Example by Chatterjee and Price.\nThank you Robert. I will try and procure the books and go through the relevant chapters.\nQuite the detailed question. Nice to take the time for that–@rbutler\n@rbutler This is two forum posts I’ve read in five minutes in which you’ve casually mentioned not using Minitab. If you’re trying to drop subtle hints to get my attention, don’t be shy…just let me know you want to be in the Minitab family!\nMinitab is fine Joel – no problems and I used it a long time ago. For the work I do I use SAS and R. The only reason for mentioning the lack of knowledge of the current Minitab program is because there are program differences and how you pose your problem to a program varies.", "label": "No"}

{"text": "William Schraufnagel, Northern Illinois University\nThis article reads several unpublished poems written by Kenneth Burke as influenced by George Meredith's 1877 Essay on Comedy. It argues that critics have expected too much of Burke's comic criticism, as Meredith restricted comedy to a narrow social realm. Contrary to an understanding of Burke's poetry as \"arhetorical,\" the poems reflect social awareness informed by Meredith. However, Burke's internalization of Meredith sometimes inclined Burke to the bitterness of satire.\nIntroduction: Limitations of Burke's Comic Criticism\nOne of Kenneth Burke's best-known critical orientations is the \"comic frame\" of motives, first articulated in his 1937 work Attitudes Toward History. The comic frame applies lessons learned from the dramatic art of comedy to the interpretation of history. Arnie J. Madsen describes it as an attitude midway between \"euphemism\" and \"debunking,\" neither totally condemning, nor totally praising (170). Both self-corrective and charitable toward the errors of others, \"[t]he comic attitude thus allows for transcendence and the transformation of losses into assets\" (171). Scholars have applied Burke's comic frame to discourses as various as Gandhi, nineteenth century feminism, the cult of empire, nuclear weapons, cyberpunk fiction, and film.1\nAlthough it may have originated as a stage art in ancient Greece, \"comedy\" in Burke is a specific mode of criticism. William H. Rueckert traces Burke's \"comic criticism\" from its late-1930s articulation in Attitudes Toward History through the last appendix to that book written in 1983. Pitted against the global tragedy of an impersonal, relentless drive toward high technology and the cult of empire, Burke, the word-man, offers \"comic criticism.\" According to Rueckert, in comic criticism \"symbolic verbal structures function as purgative-redemptive rituals of rebirth for those who enact them\" (114). The critic accepts some, rejects others, and thereby adopts a properly socialized attitude, reborn in the light of social correction.\nRueckert admits, however, the difficulty of the term \"comic.\" The evils of technology and empire never go away. Comedy responds to the \"tragic\" situation as a corrective. What can comedy do in the face of such an intractable opponent? Is there an inevitable or fixed \"comic stance\" for the critic to adopt? Rueckert breaks down the answer into two components: comedy allows us, first, to adapt to external circumstances and, second, to \"contemplate [our need for order] with neo-stoic resignation\" (129). The \"order\" which oppresses us from the outside also drives us \"internally.\" Recognition of this fact allows us, in a way, to forgive ourselves and others for the inevitable victimization inherent in order. It may even provoke laughter.\nHerbert W. Simons, for one, objects to the finality of the comic stance. Calling for \"warrantable outrage,\" Simons insists, \"Surely there must be thought and expression that proceeds beyond humble irony,\" a watchword for Burke's comic frame. Simons continues, assuming his audience must agree with him, \"Yet there surely must be in some cases—not all—a stage beyond the sneer of primal outrage and the smile of comedy\" (n.p.). This use of \"must\" raises the question. Why must there be something beyond comedy? Undoubtedly, Simons perceives the warrant for his own outrage, but in the process he obfuscates, rather than clarifies, the function of comedy. Simons regards some geopolitical tragedies as \"beyond comedy\": for instance, Adolf Hitler. But as we shall see, comedy was never intended to stretch its capacities to all of human existence. Another way of phrasing \"beyond comedy\" would be to acknowledge the limitations which make comedy possible.\nBuilding on the work of Simons, Gregory Desilet and Edward A. Appel do a better job of showing how what they call the \"filter of comic framing\" (351) can provide a \"warrant\" for outrage. One can justifiably oppose those actions which de-humanize others only after recognizing the universal tendency to de-humanize others: \"Burke still sees Hitler as within natural (human) boundaries rather than absolutely 'other,' as horribly and censurably mistaken rather than essentially vicious and evil\" (352). Comedy reduces all of us to fools, Hitler included, but it does not thereby imply moral equivalence or passivity in the face of injustice.\nThe comic frame remains integral to Burke's stance as a critic and cannot be reduced to a simple formula such as \"humble irony.\" The deep concern the comic frame draws from scholars suggests that it warrants further exploration.\nOne fact, not heretofore stressed by scholars, is that Burke did not invent the comic frame but learned it in high school from the British poet-novelist George Meredith. In a damaged letter from the \"Burke-3\" archive at Penn State, written possibly on September 14, 1917, Burke wrote to his friend Malcolm Cowley, \"as Meredith pointed out in that essay of his on comedy which was once my Bible for a week or two, a cultured nation must invariably find its expression in comedy.\" Burke refers to Meredith's An Essay on Comedy and the Uses of the Comic Spirit, originally an address delivered at the London Institution on February 1, 1877, and published in the New Quarterly magazine in April 1877. Burke evidently read and absorbed this essay in high school (from which he graduated in 1915). Unpublished poems, also in the archive, from late 1915 demonstrate Meredith's influence on Burke and present an early expression of Burke's comic stance over two decades prior to its formulation as a critical mode.\nBy first examining Meredith's Essay on Comedy, followed by a close reading of Burke's 1915 poems, this study aims to reveal two aspects of a comic approach to criticism that have not yet been emphasized in the scholarship. First, comedy operates within a restricted domain under definite social conditions, the primary condition (in Meredith) being equality of the sexes; second, comedy originates in a social perspective. Burke's adoption of the comic stance internalized what Meredith calls the \"comic spirit,\" and so Burke's version stresses self-criticism, but the solitary, romantic individual belongs to tragedy. These insights can help direct scholars' attention to better uses of the comic spirit in criticism.\nGeorge Meredith's Essay on Comedy\nMeredith's essay shows explicit concern with the social conditions necessary for comedy, marked by anxiety over whether these have been achieved in England. Although Shakespeare shows characters \"saturated with the comic spirit … creatures of the woods and wilds,\" Meredith's idea of the comic, as a social phenomenon, flourishes more precisely \"in walled towns … grouped and toned to pursue a comic exhibition of the narrower world of society\" (16–17). Here, Meredith's archetype of the comic poet is Molière at the royal court of Louis XIV in France.\nThe essence of the comic spirit as exemplified by Molière is to bring a \"calm curious eye\" (21) to the study of manners within a closed civilization. Such a society and such a poet are rarely to be found in any time or place. The archetypal comic activity seems to be a witty exchange between men and women as equals, as they approach each other: \"[W]hen [men and women] draw together in social life their minds grow liker\" (24). Meredith acknowledges the comic precursors Menander and Aristophanes in Greece, but implies that while they may have inspired hearty laughter with shrewd intellectual perception, their comic potential was limited by the inequality between sexes in their societies.\nThe possibility of comedy links directly to social conditions. Comedy illumines the social, but also takes its origins from an \"assemblage of minds\" (Meredith 76). Meredith expresses the interpersonal phenomenon of the comic spirit: \"You may estimate your capacity for Comic perception by being able to detect the ridicule of them you love, without loving them less: and more by being able to see yourself somewhat ridiculous in dear eyes, and accepting the correction their image of you proposes\" (72). To shy away from comic perception, according to Meredith, adopts an \"anti-social position,\" of which Meredith significantly accuses the poet Lord Byron (76). A choice to enter society amounts to a choice to accept the world in comic tones.\nPhilosophically, Meredithian comedy represents \"an interpretation of the general mind.\" Socially, \"[t]he Comic poet is in the narrow field, or enclosed square, of the society he depicts; and he addresses the still narrower enclosure of men's intellects, with reference to the operation of the social world upon their characters\" (79–80). This abstract, general mind, operating within a closed civilization, can be translated into a subjective feeling which Meredith equates with an explicit \"class\" ambition. To feel oneself the object of the comic gaze may sting, as one recognizes one's own Folly, but if one can transcend this momentary blow to one's ego, one will be rewarded with an apotheosis of health, good common sense, and elevated status:\n[T]o feel [the comic spirit's] presence and to see it is your assurance that many sane and solid minds are with you … A perception of the comic spirit gives high fellowship. You become a citizen of the selecter [sic] world, the highest we know of … Look there for your unchallengeable upper class! You feel that you are one of this our civilized community, that you cannot escape from it, and would not if you could. Good hope sustains you; weariness does not overwhelm you; in isolation you see no charms for vanity; personal pride is greatly moderated. (84–85)\nThis promise of social advancement through laughter, through participation in the common mind, appealed greatly to the young Kenneth Burke, and quickly became for him an aesthetic ideal. Critics who wish to imitate Burke's model of self-chastisement should begin with Meredith as a starting point.\nA curious dialectic between the individual and society pervades Meredith's essay on comedy. At first, individuals are lost in the wilderness, until they can manage to get themselves into the walled towns. Once they have gotten themselves into something called \"society,\" comedy becomes possible: \"A society of cultivated men and women is required, wherein ideas are current and the perceptions quick, that [the comic poet] may be provided with matter and an audience\" (2). Clearly, the France of Louis XIV was Meredith's model, a mixture not only of the two sexes, but of occupations and classes: \"A simply bourgeois circle will not furnish it, for the middle class must have the brilliant, flippant, independent upper for a spur and a pattern\" (18). The comic spirit allows us all to live in Versailles as a mirror of society (not humanity), but it still requires the individual comic genius of Molière for its illumination.\nThe individual poet enters the social mise en scène at just the right moment to bring that \"calm curious eye\" to the study of manners. Following Meredith's digression through ancient Greek comedy, Molière's eye, or the eye of the comic poet writ large (a rare production indeed), vaporizes into an expression of the \"general mind.\" A new individual, the auditor of Meredith's lecture, or its reader (including the young Kenneth Burke) appears at the end of the story as a beneficiary of comic chastisement, chosen to join the elect class of a spiritual Versailles.\nIndividuals escape into the confines of \"society.\" A comic poet observes and immortalizes their foibles. The synthesis of society-plus-poet (actual dramatic comedy) provides the image of an abstracted comic \"society,\" giving birth to the \"spiritual\" aspect of comedy. Now free to move on the winds across time and place, the comic spirit showers an ennobling \"silvery laughter\" (84) upon any willing disciple. Individuals come to society, and, transformed by an individual poet, an abstract sociality now comes to bless the wild individual once again with the spirit of society. The teenaged Kenneth Burke was one such wild, individual disciple. As an ambitious young poet, Burke internalized Meredith's dialectic of the individual and society, and attempted to capture the voices of both egoist and chastising social irony into individual poems.\nBy observing the transition from Meredith's theory of comedy into Burke's early poetry, we can see how Burke established an early foundation for his later, more explicit \"comic criticism.\" Burke internalized the dialectic between individual and society at a very young age so that he was able to encompass, in a way, an internal check on his own egoism. The social origins of the comic theory, however, have been obscured. This has led critics to misinterpret the capabilities of comic criticism. If Burke tries to play both the comic poet (ala Molière) and the comic critic (ala Meredith), we must realize the social limitations that have made comedy possible in the first place. A great part of comic wisdom lies in this limitation. The comic poet or critic cannot, and should not, attempt to domesticate the entire tragic wilderness. Rather, the appropriate comic mode invites individuals into the \"spiritualized\" walled town of society, an invitation to a \"higher civilization\" as a relief from the general tragedy.\nEstablished Criticism of Burke's Early Poetry\nCritics have long recognized the element of \"comedy\" in Burke's poetry. Gerard Previn Meyer, John Ciardi, and Marianne Moore used the terms \"satire\" and \"wit\" to describe Burke's first poetry collection, Book of Moments (1955), and W. C. Blum called it \"high comedy\" (366). By 1981, Timothy W. Crusius elaborated this association into a theory of Burke's \"comic\" poetry, using Burke's well known \"comic\" criticism. In Crusius's view, comedy in the poems bemoans the victimizing forces of social order and represents human weakness in the image of Burke's poetic persona. Melissa Girard summarizes the poems' rhetorical effect as \"subvert[ing] ideology through a process of communication\" (144). The communication ironically \"disrupts\" conventional stability of meanings, especially through the pun.\nA recent review of Burke's late poems by Gary Lenhart laments that \"you don't discover much about [Burke's] thought through them\" (23). A detailed look at Burke's earliest unpublished poems, written in 1915, challenges Lenhart's view. Read in the context of Burke's letters written to Malcolm Cowley at the time, and the influence of George Meredith, the poems very much illustrate Burke's process of thinking.\nWhen the poems of Burke's final period were published posthumously in 2005, David Blakesley argued that \"much of [Burke's writing] which remains to be published … may change the character of the narratives we tell about his emergence and the evolution of his thought\" (xxi). Since then, a cache of documents known as \"Burke-3\" at the Pennsylvania State University library has become available on microfilm. This archive includes roughly one hundred poems written through 1920, when Burke's literary criticism began to appear in publication. Examination of the earliest poems in this archive shows a definite influence by George Meredith, and demonstrates how Burke internalized the \"comic attitude\" by applying Meredith's socially oriented chastisement to Burke's more individualistic impulses.\nNot only does the archive help clarify the later development of comic criticism, but it changes the narrative regarding Burke's early poetic development. One major feature of this widely accepted narrative is that Burke as an \"adolescent\" was obsessed with aesthetic, romantic individualism, and only later (in the 1930s) adopted a \"turn\" towards rhetoric and social criticism. The poets generally thought to have been most influential on the young Burke are the French Symbolists.\nThe most detailed treatment of Kenneth Burke's earliest years is Jack Selzer's chapter \"Burke among Others: The Early Poetry,\" in Kenneth Burke in Greenwich Village (1996). Selzer follows a tradition, set by Malcolm Cowley, of associating Burke's \"adolescence\" with the French poet Jules Laforgue, but this too, as the archive shows, is misleading. Selzer reads Burke's poetry primarily in terms of French Symbolism with Baudelaire as its godfather and Mallarmé its prime expositor. Quoting from Arthur Symons's The Symbolist Movement of 1899 (expanded in 1908), Ludwig Lewisohn's The Poets of Modern France (1918), and Edmund Wilson's Axel's Castle (1931), Selzer constructs the image of an inward-focused, hyper-subjective, private, \"arhetorical\" poet, \"personal and individual at the expense of the civic and political\" (77). Selzer adopts the tone and stance of Wilson, hostile toward the Symbolists:\nAloof and radically alienated from contemporary life … the followers of Baudelaire, Mallarmé, and Rimbaud after 1885 attempted to withdraw into an elitist realm of art … —like Swinburne, Pater, and Wilde in England—tended toward a radical aestheticism that expressed itself in an obsession with form and the determined pursuit of art above all. … that art could be an event in itself rather than a rhetorical statement about a worldly event … that ideal of arhetorical art. (71–72)\nSelzer labels Burke's early poems as \"personal and apolitical—far more aesthetic and Symbolist than the usual poetry of the Masses group\" (77). Whereas artists associated with The Masses believed \"art could be a lever for social change\" (24), in Selzer's view—strongly indebted to Lewisohn (see Selzer 72)—the Symbolists seek only \"to recreate … the speaker's inner condition … the inner consciousness of isolates\" (74, 78). Removing a caricature of the isolated, adolescent Laforgue from his fixed position in scholarly opinion as the major influence on Burke's poetry restores the influence of George Meredith, and shows that Burke was always \"socially-minded,\" from the earliest documents we possess.\nOf the shreds of evidence concerning Kenneth Burke's high school years, we have, first of all, reading lists. Austin Warren, writing in 1932 (according to Selzer 206 n. 1, approved by Burke), listed \"Meredith's Diana … Ibsen, Strindberg, Pinero, Shaw, Schnitzler, Sudermann, Hauptmann. Then came the Russians,\" Chekhov and Dostoevsky (227). Malcolm Cowley, from personal reminiscence, added Kipling, Stevenson, Hardy, Gissing, Conrad, Wilde, Mencken and Nathan, Congreve, \"Huneker, Somerset Maugham, Laforgue (after we learned French),\" and Flaubert (Exile's 20–22). Cowley came to identify Burke, as an adolescent, with Laforgue.\nWriting in 1934, Cowley retroactively pictures Burke's \"moonlit walks along Boulevard East … the crown of his days and moment when his adolescence flowered\" (25), citing a letter from Burke written September 11, 1916, almost twenty years prior. At the end of these walks, around midnight, Cowley imagines, Burke would \"question his face for new pimples, repeat a phrase from Laforgue and go to bed\" (27). Thus began the legend linking Burke's poetic origins to Laforgue, an adolescent \"phase\" to be surmounted.\nArmin Paul Frank, drawing on Cowley, claims that in Burke's earliest poems \"the young poet puts on the 'Armour of Jules Laforgue': romantic irony, sometimes anticlimactically tagged on to the end of a poem in the traditional way of Heinrich Heine, but also, more Laforguean, incorporated into the immediate context of the high sentiment\" (121). According to Cowley, Burke himself termed this effect a \"tangent ending\" (And I Worked 79). Cowley illustrates its operation at the conclusion of T. S. Eliot's \"The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock\" and compares it to \"a door that opened on a new landscape\" (80) after the complete tour of a house.\nSelzer combines this \"tangent ending\" with the \"double mood\" theorized by Yvor Winters (Selzer 78–79). Winters quotes Laforgue's poem \"Complainte du Printemps\" as an example of \"two distinct and more or less opposed types of feeling\" which cancel each other (Winters 65–67). Also called \"moods,\" these \"types of feeling\" alternate between \"romantic nostalgia … with no discernible object,\" and \"immature irony\" (67). Winters attributes the origin of this trend to Byron, but takes Laforgue as the prototypical instance.\nThree decades before Frank, Winters clarifies the particular \"double mood\" he names \"romantic irony\": \"the poet ridicules himself for a kind or degree of feeling which he can neither approve nor control … the act of confessing a state of moral insecurity\" (70). Writing in the mid-1930s, Winters also links Joyce's Ulysses and Kenneth Burke's novel Towards a Better Life to this romantic irony. Ulysses is \"adolescent as Laforgue is adolescent; it is ironic about feelings which are not worth the irony.\" Burke's novel, to Winters, offers \"not even progression; we have merely a repetitious series of Laforguian [sic] antitheses\" (72). The word \"adolescent\" dismisses the feeling (of unmotivated nostalgia) and the petty irony concerned with so worthless a matter.\nBurke himself perpetuated this trope in his first critical essay of 1921, \"The Armour of Jules Laforgue.\" Burke implies that Laforgue, as a human being or personality (\"life\"), was a kind of belated innocent. As a writer, however (Burke speculates), Laforgue felt some responsibility to \"apologize\" for his platitudinous emotions (9). What Winters calls a \"cynical\" rejection of an emotion \"not worth having\" (74), Burke portrays as a \"metaphysical interest,\" common among \"the sexually immature\" (9). Burke represents Laforgue's sexual immaturity as a failure of aggressive instincts \"paralyzed by the passive attitude of receiving outward impressions\" (9). Burke asserts his own aggression by naming a fear of sexual passivity and casts this fear, in the poetic persona of Jules Laforgue, into the oblivion of not only an historical past but a kind of biological past. To banish this fear as a surmounted \"adolescence\" would enable Burke's passage into maturity.\nCowley, Frank, and Selzer have suggested Burke's early lyrics resemble Laforgue's, but Burke's criticism of the French poet could possibly, covertly, address a tendency in Burke's own earlier poetry projected onto Laforgue. Burke summarized in Laforgue's poetry a \"tendency to incorporate various voices into a poem. Sometimes these voices are frankly labeled, like Echo, or Choir. At other times they simply exist as a tangent, a change in metre [sic] or stanza\" (10). Laforgue's alternation of voices puts him \"always one remove from his emotion\" (9), but such \"remove\" does not cancel the emotion, nor is the emotion itself fruitless.\nLet us translate the \"tangent ending\" into terms of Meredithian comedy. For Meredith, individual pride is subject to the social gaze of the comic spirit. The comic gaze does not bludgeon romantic individualism, but gently, lovingly chastises it in the invitation to a \"higher fellowship\" of society. The apology or \"tangent\" arises from a socially conscious bashfulness for a feeling which, however satisfying to the individual, remains socially out of place. These feelings, as Burke's poems in the next section illustrate, include such \"romantic\" or \"tragic\" tropes as soaring exaltation, wearied cynicism, sighing, tears, pains, music, the divine, love, moons, roses, and other forms of \"high sentiment.\"\nWhat Burke describes as Laforgue's \"dilettantism\" (\"Armour\" 9), concedes the poet's vulnerability to social irony. Moons and roses are played out. The poet, while \"expressing\" these romantic feelings, adopts a final irony or apology as a defense, by including it at the end of the poem. If Burke was and remains a belated romantic, he did and does contain his own critique of such romanticism, in a way consistent with his later \"rhetorical\" career. The \"tangent ending\" is an explicit social gesture or \"pose,\" a smile at one's own expense like Meredith's ability \"to see yourself somewhat ridiculous in dear eyes, and accept [. . .] the correction their image of you proposes\" (72).\nCompared to Rimbaud, Arthur Symons calls Laforgue \"eternally grown up, mature to the point of self-negation\" (Symbolist 111). A sensitive reader detects immense suffering beneath the cool, ironic façade, but Laforgue \"will not permit himself, at any moment, the luxury of dropping the mask: not at any moment\" (109-10). Tropes of self-ridicule, therefore, designate a complex social awareness, quite the opposite of the romantic solipsism they display to the unironic. Winters suggests that Byron initiated this pose, and that \"Laforgue is not in every case [of this modern attitude] an influence\" (65). It expresses insecurity, perhaps, but expresses it in a self-conscious rhetorical gesture. Winters's critique of this feature in Marianne Moore's poetry even accuses her of \"a tendency to a rhetoric more complex than her matter\" (71) as a symptom. Claims linking Burke or his poetry to Laforgue should not be used to support the notion that either Burke or Laforgue, in person or poetry, was ever \"arhetorical\" or univocal.\nFurthermore—we have reason, from Cowley's own hand, to doubt his account in Exile's Return, published in 1934, that he and Burke had known Laforgue in high school:\nAt the end of a letter written the day after Thanksgiving, 1966, I asked [S.] Foster [Damon] a question. \"Did you introduce me to Laforgue,\" I said, \"or was I already Laforguing when I used to come out to Newton and drink tea in your room, in the spring of 1918? I remember your copy of Tender Buttons, but there is so much I forget.\" Foster waited a month, then answered frugally on a New Year's card. \"Mal—\" he said, using a nickname that everyone else has forgotten. \"Yes, I remember showing you the poems of Jules Laforgue. We went over them together. Happy New Year to you both!\" (And I Worked 35-36)\nCowley and Burke graduated high school in 1915. Cowley entered Harvard in the fall of 1915, but only gradually befriended Damon (And I Worked 37-43). Burke records having met Damon in a letter to Cowley of May 11, 1918. I am not sure how much French Burke knew at all in high school and throughout 1915, when a large number of now extant poems were written. I do know he was soaking in many authors—English, German/Austrian, Russian, Irish, and American—and this leads me to conclude that an over-emphasis on French Symbolists, primarily Baudelaire and Laforgue, has allowed scholars to obstruct a greater possible richness in Burke's poetry.2\nWhether he encountered Laforgue directly in high school or absorbed a similar influence along other channels, Burke's poems from the earliest period do evince a \"double mood\" as described by Winters. Burke can have implicitly criticized, in 1921, his own earlier poetry through the substitute of Laforgue without ever having read Laforgue during the earlier period. Burke may have been only able to diagnose Laforgue's \"adolescence\" because he had already worked through it in his own poetry. Much can be added to Selzer's account by examining Burke's English influences as well as the French.\nGeorge Meredith's Influence on Burke's Early Poetry\nTimothy Crusius establishes bathos as the primary rhetorical figure of Burke's poetry, and praises Burke's \"comic genius for inclusiveness and mediation between opposing viewpoints.\" Crusius finds Burke's poetry a \"comic meeting-place of equal, opposing ways of looking at the world, each 'tragically' perfected in its partial knowledge of the truth, but undergoing the comic process of gaining self-awareness … and hence tolerance\" (18-9). On October 9, 1915, Burke wrote to Cowley, wondering whether some epigrams he planned to submit to the magazine Smart Set reflected more \"the influence of Meredith or Mr. Hall's vaudeville shows.\" The abstractions of Burke's early poetry often turn on the comic perspective espoused by Meredith. Consider the following sonnet, sent to Cowley on October 5, 1915:\nIf I could view myself without a laugh,\nIf I could flee the roaringly pathetic\nSelf-introspectiveness my evil half\nImposes on me, showing how bathetic\nIt is for me to soar,— were not the staff\nOf self-acquaintanceship so energetic.—\nDid I not feel at times a strutting calf,\nOr a forty-year old virgin's tired cosmetic:\nThen stupidly I'd purr to my caress,—\nAt my own stupid blandishments I'd bow,—\nI'd take the poor dear world beneath my wing,—\nAnd be the wearied cynic of success.\nWhat proud Byronic sniveling songs I'd sing!\nBut I would be less proud than I am now.\nBurke's \"evil half\" imposes bathetic, ironical images of himself as a \"strutting calf, / Or a forty-year old virgin's tired cosmetic.\" Mocking both the youth trying to appear old, and the aged trying to appear young, Burke admits his pride. Without the \"self-acquaintanceship\" which is really a self-chastisement, he would obey his own appeals, purr to his own caresses: in other words, retreat cynically like his image of Byron.\nMeredith had written, \"[Byron] had no strong comic sense, or he would not have taken an anti-social position, which is directly opposed to the comic\" (76). The \"laugh\" here is Burke's irony aimed at himself. Laughing is pride, self-acquaintanceship, and Burke's complex rebellion against what he considers \"Byronic,\" self-satisfying and anti-social poetry.3 The comic spirit in Meredith tends to subdue pride, but the young Burke obviously takes enormous pride in his comic irony.\nAnother poem, sent to Cowley on October 9, 1915, makes the Meredithian dialectic of the individual and society more blatant. But where Meredith's comedy can be described as a \"calm, curious eye,\" and \"an oblique light . . . followed by volleys of silvery laughter\" (84), Burke's comedy has a more malicious edge in the quest to thwart not only Folly, but all tragedy. Burke in the letter calls this a \"novelistic poem\":\nTo A Sense of Humor\nAroint thee, wicked plague to sighing swains.\nA pox on thee, thou blotter to our tears.\nThou idle anti-climax to our pains,\nLeave us, and take with thee thy heartless jeers.\nThou tellest us the music of our lute,\nWhich we were pouring forth so soaringly,\nIs but the wheezy pibroch, and to boot,\nThou addest that we played it roaringly.\nWe settle, to enthuse in the divine,\nAnd hear a voice ring out from high Parnassus.\nThou tellest us, \"Your ether is cheap wine.\nThe voice you hear's the chanting of some asses.\nThou snickerer, if we got rid of thee,\nThen every one could have a tragedy.4\nThe use of \"roaringly,\" as in the \"Sonnet on Myself\" quoted above, again shows Burke's contempt for loud profusions. His antagonism toward Byron in the previous poem expands to other \"romantic\" tropes: sighing, tears, pains, the divine Parnassus, and above all, the dignity of tragedy. Burke plays the cynic well before achieving success, as if defensively anticipating and warding off the possibility of failure. The idle, heartless snickerer of Burke's comedy (implied by antithesis to \"tragedy\") defensively misreads Meredith's \"calm, curious eye.\"\nOne explanation of the difference between Meredith's comedy and Burke's early poetry may be that Burke began with the final product (the comic Muse) of Meredith's dialectic which had passed through several stages: from the wilderness, to society, to comic poetry, to general chastisement by the comic spirit. By internalizing Meredith's abstract sociality without himself patiently observing the manners of a closed, narrow society (as had Molière), Burke remains, in a way, an individual in quest of society. Meredithian comedy can hardly be considered a \"heartless\" jeer, which implies the young Burke has not yet been properly softened by social irony.\nOn the following page of the same letter, October 9, 1915, Burke includes a poem aimed at the idea of \"love,\" with the comic spirit lying in wait:\nLamentations of a Latent Genius\nI want to love.\nI want to build me a goddess once.\nI want to dress my love up in pretty similes,\nBe enraptured like drunken Bacchantes swirling\non hillsides- and all that.\nI want to weep poetic rivers, too.\nI want to be sick unto death with love,\nSo sick that I must moan in agonized sonnets.\nJust let me love,\nAnd I'll see to the moons and the roses.\nAh, Fatal Sisters, grant me one really ethereal love.\nI want to have a Beatrice.\nI want to have a noble, ecstatic love.\nPerhaps I could sell it to some magazine.\nOne of the most revealing lines of this poem, to name Burke's implicit antagonist, is \"I want to weep poetic rivers, too.\" That \"too\" points a finger at all the anti-social poets, who purr at their own caresses, bow to their own blandishments, violently cloyed to the sighs and tears of divine Parnassus, a noble, tragic, ecstatic love entirely built of images from within, and sold to the nearest magazine.\nThe impulse to sell sets the young Burke apart; a mark of his self-acquaintanceship, not self-praise, but a kind of jealous anti-self which attempts to negate the British romantic tradition. Burke uses Meredith's concept of \"comedy\" as a lever to fight this battle (against, say, \"Byronism\"), but Burke may fall into what Meredith calls \"Satire\": \"If you detect the ridicule, and your kindliness is chilled by it, you are slipping into the grasp of Satire\" (Meredith 73). One may have to seek encouragement in the precursor, Meredith, to better detect the kindliness of the comic spirit.\nThat October, the British novelist Louis Wilkinson agreed to show two of the eighteen-year-old Kenneth Burke's poems to a recently formed poetry magazine called The Others. Wilkinson called the following poem \"the one about music\" (qtd. in Letter to Cowley 10/12/15), sent to Cowley by Burke in a hand-written letter of September 30, 1915:\nSome would call music a prestidigitator,\nInsinuating into them a change of mood,\nAnd twisting their souls about a keyboard\nAs the labyrinth of a guilloche.\nThey are prestidigitators to themselves.\nI am not tickled by a trill,\nI do not choke at a dance of death,\nNor do I fling myself to syncopations.\nMusic, be it loud or soft,\nBe it dainty wisps,\nOr awful crashes,\nLends me no sentiment.\nIt bids me seek my own.\nIt is dark.\nI am alone in my room,\nCasting for a thought.\nFrom somewhere cords are rising.\nThey come like recollection.\nRaggy things, they become tender.\nI am weeping at a fox trot.\nAs in the \"Sonnet on Myself,\" Burke accuses those who allow themselves susceptibility to music as self-deceivers. Refusing to passively accept the sentimental \"trick\" of music, Burke undermines his own \"Russian pride\" at the end of the poem. Music takes its revenge on Burke in a grotesque return. The verbs \"tickled,\" \"choke,\" and \"fling,\" in the first stanza, manifest bodily the musical forms of the trill, dance of death, and syncopation—or so the music would intend. \"My own\" initiates what Harold Bloom calls the Crossing of Solipsism involving emptiness and fullness, height and depth, and the Freudian tropes of isolation and repression (Wallace Stevens 403). The pathetic weeping at the end is a surcharge of the sublime, the return of the repressed.\nThe bathetic concluding line, \"I am weeping at a fox trot,\" is fully aware of the earlier mood or attitude in the poetic persona's rejection of susceptibility to music. The bathetic weeper becomes a proto-Laforguean clown (even if Burke had not yet read Laforgue), Burke's \"satirical presentation of himself, as he creates his most natural mask, his role of comic hero\" (Crusius 23). The confrontation of moods or perspectives within the poem is the comic effect; Burke is the comic hero.\nThe other of the two poems Louis Wilkinson showed to The Others editor Alfred Kreymbourg (Selzer 63), was certainly written before October 5, 1915. Burke announces in that letter to Cowley that Wilkinson found the following poem \"pretty good\":\nThe Metropolitan Light as Seen from the Jersey Shore\nI might liken you unto a jewel in the coronet of a sumptuous\nIn the coronet of a black-haired virgin as she lies upon a\nOr unto the shapened soul of man, high, yet supported from\nOr unto a motionless balloon of sickly diamonds, with one\nhidden, striving ruby;\nOr unto the Star of Bethlehem, alluring the Seven Sages on\nOr an emblem of purity- even an emblem of purity weeping over\nan evil city;\nOr unto the spirit of evil which glitters over an evil\nOr an anxious lantern my love has hung upon the sky to warn\nme constantly against inconstancy.\nSo might I tempt my fancy.\nBut I will not deceive myself so happily.\nTo me you are nothing but a light- measured, calculated,\nYou are there to proclaim not man's genius, but man's\nThe cluster which includes Comedy includes business. Byronic suffering, moons and roses, as well as religious yearning, the divine, and Parnassus, fall on the antithetical other side of Tragedy. So, in a painfully complex way, does music. The fox trot may be the only trope in the poems quoted above which approaches anything near to synthesizing or reconciling comedy and tragedy. Burke regards the fox trot as somehow banal, or bathetic, and yet it makes him weep. There may be a kind of weeping that is not tragic. A desire for this reconciliation comes through in these early poems, perhaps in spite of Burke's snickerer.\nBurke longs for the tranquility that Meredith promises from the comic spirit: \"[T]he laughter directed by the Comic spirit is a harmless wine, conducing to sobriety in the degree that it enlivens. It enters you like fresh air into a study; as when one of the sudden contrasts of the comic idea floods the brain like reassuring daylight\" (Meredith 88). The sense of unresolved tension, or even hostility, in the irony of Burke's early poetry indicates that he has not yet earned the increment of his influence by Meredith. It may be that he achieved it by the late 1930s, but that question is outside the scope of this analysis.\nConclusion: The Cost of Internalizing the Comic Spirit\nContemporary frustrations with the \"comic frame\" of criticism arise because they hope for too much. William H. Rueckert's treatment of comic criticism tends to elevate it into a grand, final stance against the threat of over-powering technology and order. Perhaps in spite of itself, it presents Burke as something of a tragic hero. Against this looming image of a total confrontation against a total menace, Herbert Simons and his followers insist upon \"warrantable outrage\" that is foreign to the comic spirit as originally posed by George Meredith.\nBy returning to Meredith, we can see what the young Kenneth Burke blocked or ignored in his initial absorption of the comic idea. Writing about his ideal comic poet, Meredith claimed, \"Molière followed the Horatian precept, to observe the manners of his age and give his characters the colour befitting them at the time\" (14). Upon graduation from high school, Burke had not yet had time to observe the manners of his age. In his zeal, he took the entire comic process upon, and into, himself. Burke imposed a self-inflicted chastisement, as if anticipating later errors.\nAs described above, critics (beginning with Malcolm Cowley) have taken Burke's own self-criticism (in part revealed through Burke's criticism of Jules Laforgue) as a literal statement of Burke's adolescence. Reading the early poems against George Meredith reveals a more complicated picture, of Burke as a self-chastising romantic. It should be no surprise that Burke eventually turned to drama as an ultimate metaphor for human relations. After all, it was in the actual stage drama that Molière was able to capture the comedy of manners which gave birth to Meredith's social ideal. While skipping over its patient elaboration (the observation and presentation of manners in his own age), Burke held to an internalized comic ideal, and so, in a way, doomed himself to eventually return to drama.\nWhat, then, of \"warrantable outrage\"? George Meredith makes no pleas for the goodness of human nature. He does not \"forgive\" or \"tolerate\" humanity, as some interpretations of Burke's comic criticism might urge us to do. No one, Meredith claims, will doubt that \"it is unwholesome for men and women to see themselves as they are, if they are no better than they should be\" (12). One does not need the extreme example of Adolf Hitler to perceive human ugliness, and no one, least of all the comic poet, will desire that we tolerate or forgive human weakness.\nThe key to comic improvement, in Meredith's scheme, lies in what \"should be.\" We should learn to detect the comic spirit in our own and others' lives; we should shrink from being the object of comic chastisement; we should seek to gain admission into that \"higher fellowship\" defined by a narrow circumference, where men and women, meeting and conversing on equal ground, exchange in witty banter and grow more like each other. The fact that such occasions are so rare may warrant outrage. But outrage, far from \"transcending\" comic tolerance, may in fact take our eyes away from the comic goal of a better society. Let us keep our attention fixed on that \"higher fellowship,\" and its absence in so much of the world will be criticism enough.\n1.

Archival letters to Cowley suggest that Burke did not seriously take up the study of French until late 1915. The first French writers Burke mentions in the letters are Anatole France, with whom Burke \"made a bad beginning,\" and Victor Cherbuliez, whose novel Burke had not yet read, on November 9, 1915. On November 29, 1915, he wrote, \"Which is better- to talk Berlitz French fluently, to read French poetry naturally, or to be able to know what I mean by, say, the Eleatic school?\" He felt himself on the verge of entering college for the first time, and anticipated what he would study and do.\n3. A version of this poem, likely written earlier, appears in the archive typed and dated June 1, 1915, some four months before Burke sent it to Cowley in the form printed above. The earlier version contains \"that\" for \"the\" in Line 2; and the last word of Line 10 was \"blush\" instead of \"bow.\" As Burke transcribed the poem in the letter to Cowley of October 5, 1915, he first wrote the word \"blush\" but crossed it out, and wrote the four lines printed above to conclude. The final five lines in the original corresponded with the earlier \"blush\" in Line 10: \"At my own stupid blandishments I'd blush,– / And be the gentle cynic of success. / Then I could waste my talents, not just booze, / And never would I call my genius\nmush gush. / But yet by that what Russian pride I'd lose.\" Without his self-imposed ridicule, Burke would waste his talents in praising his own genius; furthermore, the earlier version suggests a Russian influence behind this \"self-acquaintanceship.\"\n4. In transcribing Burke's poetry, I have maintained the spelling and punctuation from his archival documents. In the poem \"To a Sense of Humor,\" he only puts the one solitary set of quotation marks.\nBlakesley, David. \"Introduction.\" Late Poems, 1968–1993: Attitudinizings Verse-wise, While Fending for One's Selph, and in a Style Somewhat Artificially Colloquial by Kenneth Burke.

{"text": "With the summer coming to a close I’ve been prepping my syllabi for classes this fall, and thought it might be a good time to reflect on the challenges and possibilities for including black newspapers in literature courses. Like many of us, I suspect, I don’t often have the luxury of teaching a course focused exclusively on the black press, but must instead find ways to work black newspapers into survey courses or seminars that mainly revolve around more familiar kinds of literary texts. One strategy in such cases is connecting black newspapers to other kinds of texts. For example, in a class on “African American Literature and the Media,” we spent a few weeks reading Richard Wright’s novel Native Son. White reporters and newspapers appear at critical moments in the text, and the media emerges as one of the novel’s major concerns. Indeed, real-life newspaper coverage of an alleged black murderer in Chicago inspired the basic outlines of Native Son’s plot. So alongside the novel we read contemporaneous articles from the Chicago Tribune and, most importantly, the Chicago Defender. For a paper assignment, students were asked to analyze newspaper reports in the same way they would a passage from the novel. They composed essays exploring the power of the press to shape events through language, and offered insightful comparisons between coverage in black and white newspapers. Native Son is particularly well suited to this kind of approach to teaching black newspapers, given its inspiration from real-world newspaper coverage, treatment of the media, and the fact that the Defender covered the events fictionalized in the novel. But such an approach could be adapted to a variety of other texts that regularly make their way onto literature syllabi. One could, for example, pick a particularly powerful theme from a novel, poem, play, etc., and then ask students to research that same theme in black newspapers. This kind of research assignment is, though, potentially limited to institutions with subscriptions to commercial databases, which were not available when and where I taught Native Son. In that case, I provided students with the relevant issues from the Defender and the Tribune. This deprived them of the opportunity to conduct their own research, but they were at least introduced to the pages of black newspapers.\nAnother successful way to work black newspapers into the literature classroom is, in my experience, to teach texts that appeared in the pages of the black press, and focus on that context in classroom discussions and essay assignments. For example, in a survey of African American literature before 1900 that I am teaching this coming fall, students will read the short story “Theresa – A Haytien Tale,” which originally appeared in 1828 in the pages of Freedom’s Journal. We will read the story itself, and then the four issues in which appeared. A possible essay topic could then ask students to connect particular themes in the story to concerns in the newspaper. Similarly, I will be teaching sketches from the Anglo-African Magazine in an upper-division course on the literature of the American Renaissance. Both of these choices are inspired by the Just Teach One: Early African American Print initiative, which provides not only the primary material for teaching these texts but also sample assignments, lesson plans, and teaching reflections. And one need not be teaching a course focused on African American literature in order to incorporate black newspapers. Frederick Douglass’s Paper serialized Charles Dickens’s Bleak House in its entirety, and a variety of black newspapers printed poetry from now-canonical figures from both sides of the Atlantic (e.g. Longfellow and Tennyson). Teaching these texts in their periodical context would not only introduce students to the archive of the black press, but also underscore how all kinds of literature circulated in the 19th –century.\nHopefully, this post has highlighted the ways in which black newspapers fit, with a bit of creativity, into a variety of kinds of literature classrooms. And in my experience, even the smallest introduction to the black press can be enough to inspire students to explore the archive of black newspapers outside of the classroom. Of course, such exploration is made far more challenging when black newspapers are trapped behind the massive paywalls of commercial databases, a fact that makes the work of expanding access to the black press all the more imperative.", "label": "No"}
{"text": "Expertise: Integrated Pest Management\nIntegrated Pest Management: The Best Defense\nPlants face a constant variety of fungal, bacterial and viral stresses, leading to a loss in productivity. How will the growers of the next green revolution address the challenges of pests and disease?\nToday, pests and disease are responsible for 40% of crop losses globally. Most of these losses are caused by pathogenic fungi, reducing seed germination, sapping plant health, and lingering in the soil to affect subsequent crops. Compounding the problem, some fungi can produce mycotoxins, making the crop unfit for human or animal consumption.\nResistance and regulation\nTraditional synthetic pesticides face many challenges, such as the tendency of pests to develop resistance, reducing efficacy. Another problem is the hazardous effect these chemicals can have on populations of essential beneficial bacteria and other living organisms in the environment, due to the non-biodegradable nature of the compounds. Finally, concerns for the safety of workers and consumers have led many countries to restrict or ban the usage of these chemicals.\nAn alternative to synthetic chemicals, biofungicides are naturally occurring compounds or organisms that suppress diseases. Because they are derived from natural sources, they are important in organic farming and many next-generation integrated pest management plans. From 2014 to 2020, the global biopesticide market has been projected to grow at an annual rate of 16%, while the synthetic pesticide market is only projected to grow at a rate of 6% annually.\nBiofungicides typically fall into one of two categories:\n- Plant extracts: Plants produce many bioactive compounds with antibiotic and antimicrobial properties. These naturally occurring compounds are an economical source of biocontrols. Some plant extracts have been found to contain compounds with antimicrobial properties such as phenolics and steroidal saponins. These have been shown to control plant pathogens such as the fungus Leptosphaeria.\n- Beneficial microbes: A living example of “the enemy of my enemy is my friend”, many microbes are known to suppress crop pathogens, either by competing with them for resources or by attacking them directly. Microbial biofungicides can act via several different mechanisms:\n- Competition: The beneficial microbe population out-competes the pathogen population, starving it of resources.|\n- Mycoparasitism: The direct attack, infection, and destruction of a target pathogen by a beneficial microbe.\n- Antibiosis: The secretion of compounds by beneficial microbes that suppress or kill pathogens. This is the source of many human antibiotics.\nMetabolites produced by Trichoderma harzianum have been shown to engage in mycoparasitism against pathogenic fungi. The microbe penetrates resting spores and hyphae of some fungi. Trichoderma then grows in the hyphae of the host fungi, eventually killing the pathogen. Trichoderma spp. are also known to increase plant growth and stimulate plant defenses.\nAnother strategy in integrated pest management is the concept of induced resistance. When a plant is under attack from a disease, various chemical defense responses are initiated in the plant, similar to how our own immune systems respond to disease. Elicitors are compounds that activate these same natural plant defenses, a state known as induced resistance.\nElicitors are used preventatively. Just as vaccines take some time to produce a response in our bodies, elicitors take several days for their full effect to develop. This plateaus into a maintenance phase before the effects eventually wear off.\nStudies have shown that selected strains of Bacillus can elicit an ISR response in tomatoes, providing significant protection from anthracnose and mosaic virus. During the trials, increased early-season growth and yield were also observed in the treated plants. Elsewhere, extensive research in both Puerto Rico and Kentucky found that a state of induced resistance protected plants against fungicide-resistant strains of Peronospora.\nNatural elicitors and sustainability\nNatural elicitors leave no synthetic residues and can be used in fields either alone or in combination with conventional chemicals. Natural elicitors in alternating applications with conventional fungicides have been shown to successfully reduce the need for chemical control, contributing to the development of sustainable agriculture.", "label": "No"}
{"text": "It was on The Howdy Doody Show in 1947 that Buffalo Bob first asked children, “Say, kids, what time is it?” What time? It was, as Annenberg alumna Jo Holz (Ph.D. '81) writes in a new book, America’s time as a superpower with a booming post-war economy. But more specifically for the children in earshot of the question, it was their time, time to watch TV, and they knew exactly what to shout in reply: “It’s Howdy Doody time!”\nIn the years since, children’s television has emerged in a wide array of formats: puppet shows, variety shows, fast-paced educational shows, outer space and science fiction shows, cartoons, anthologies, scripted dramas, and more. In her book Kids’ TV Grows Up: The Path from Howdy Doody to SpongeBob (McFarland 2017), Holz takes a sociocultural look at the evolution of children’s television over seven decades.\n“So what has driven the evolution of children’s television?” writes Holz. “This book suggests that there are patterns of change that mirror, not without distortion but in important ways, how our country, our society, and our culture have changed during that time. Perhaps most importantly, the changing content of these shows reflects fundamental shifts in the ways we think about children and childhood itself.”\nIt’s a story that begins in 1947, with the March 11 debut of Movies for Small Fry on the DuMont Television Network. At first, the program aired theatrical cartoons and other movies for children with a radio host providing an off-screen voice-over.\nThat swiftly grew into the Small Fry Club, offering membership cards and contests for viewers, and turned from a weekly program into a five evenings-a-week staple “for those families who were lucky enough to have a TV set at home,” Holz writes.\nIn the 1950s, Holz notes, most children’s shows aired in the late afternoon or early evening. But in the ’60s, stations began replacing kids’ programming in the afternoon with shows for stay-at-home moms, for which they could charge higher ad rates, and shifted their children’s shows to Saturday morning. From 1958 to 1968, the portion of network programming for kids that ran on Saturday mornings grew from about 25 percent to more than 50 percent.\nIn an interview in 2015, Holz said her memories of programs she watched as a child growing up in Boston, including The Howdy Doody Show, Ding Dong School, and The Pinky Lee Show, inspired her project. “I am an immigrant; I was born in Germany,” she said. “I came here when I was four years old and television played a huge role in my family in learning American culture and, really, socialization, language. One of the first things we got – and we were pretty poor when we first got here – was this big, honkin’ television. The television was on 24/7 in my household.”\nHolz began work on the book during her two years as a professional-in-residence at the Annenberg Public Policy Center, starting in July 2014. Holz was formerly head of research at Children’s Television Workshop (now Sesame Workshop) and has worked in market research for Nielsen, Oxygen Media, and NBC.", "label": "No"}
{"text": "Super Sleuthing to Save Citrus\nUMD Professor Anne Simon and her startup Silvec Biologics work to unravel the unsolved mystery of a lethal plant disease\nAnne Simon is on a mission to stop a silent killer—a relentless pathogen that wreaks havoc from the U.S. to Europe and beyond.\n“There’s no cure, there’s no treatment, there’s nothing,” said Simon, a professor of cell biology and molecular genetics at the University of Maryland. “It has decimated Florida and moved into the central regions of California. It’s all over southern Texas, and it’s all over Africa and China and India. I mean it’s just terrible.”\nSimon is talking about huanglongbing (HLB), more commonly known as citrus greening, a lethal disease that relentlessly attacks plants, and more specifically citrus trees. Without a cure, HLB could spell the end of the citrus industry.\n“We’re running out of time for these trees,” Simon warned. “We may only have another eight to 10 years before most citrus trees are infected worldwide.”\nHow can this citrus killer be stopped? For years, the answer has been a mystery. But, as a researcher who spent years as a science advisor for the hit television series “The X-Files,” Simon knows a thing or two about solving mysteries.\nFour years ago, in her lab at UMD, Simon took her first step toward a potentially effective citrus greening solution when she discovered a symptomless virus-like agent that can deliver disease-fighting weapons directly into citrus trees.\n“What we can do is attach something we want to our virus-like agent, our independent mobile RNA as we like to call it,” explained Simon, who is recognized around the world for her work in plant virology. “Once the RNA is in the plant, the plant has an immune system called RNA silencing and can chop it into pieces, and those little pieces could be directed against pathogens.”\nSimon’s patent-pending discovery of the virus-like agent was licensed by UMD in 2019 to the Gaithersburg, Maryland-based startup Silvec Biologics. Led by Simon’s brother, Rafael Simon, a former chief operating officer with extensive venture capital experience, and fueled by further discoveries in Simon’s UMD lab and university support, Silvec Biologics aims to bring pathogen-fighting products to market within the next few years.\n“We started with just one little room at IBBR with just one person and we’ve quickly grown in a couple of years to a 6,000-square-foot facility in Gaithersburg,” Simon said. “We have lots of ideas in different stages of working and I’m hoping we can successfully develop a product that works and will give the citrus industry hope.”\nThe aha! moment\nFor Simon, whose research focuses on small viruses in plants, the aha! moment that started it all came in 2017 when she discovered a strange version of a virus that was like nothing she’d ever seen.\n“It did something that no virus like it had ever done before,” Simon explained. “It was able to move through citrus by itself and it didn’t have any symptoms, meaning that it could possibly be used as what we call a virus vector, to deliver small RNA into these plants.”\nSimon immediately realized that this strange viral agent could be what scientists had been looking for—a vehicle that could deliver pathogen-killing weapons into infected citrus trees.\n“I called up the USDA and I said, ‘I may have a vector for citrus greening—do you have any money left over for the citrus greening program because I need to get to work on this immediately,’” Simon recalled. “And they gave me a half-million dollars, and I got some people working on it and that’s when we were able to make some real progress.”\nA path to stability\nCitrus greening is spread by tiny insects called psyllids that inject the disease-causing HLB bacteria into the leaves of the tree. To fight the disease, Simon worked to develop a small RNA engineered to fight the citrus greening pathogen, one that could be delivered directly into the plant. The next challenge was stability—making sure the disease-fighting RNA would be stable and could keep working for the life of the tree.\n“We know that viruses can be a solution,” Simon said, “but when you put stuff into viruses it’s not stable, the virus eventually kicks it out. And no one understood why that happens it just does.”\nAfter three years and plenty of trial and error in the lab, the stability problem was solved; the proof was in the plants.\n“We have citrus plants now that have the virus vector in them with these small RNAs,” Simon said. “It’s been about a year and a half since the infection, and they’re doing great, there are zero symptoms.” Simon believes that this strategy of using a symptomless virus vector to deliver stable, pathogen-targeted RNAs could work for other at-risk crops as well.\n“This vector can infect citrus and also grapevine and tobacco and lots of different plants,” Simon said. “We know that in our laboratory host we can completely eliminate infections by very pathogenic viruses, so we’re working on additional versions of this, and we hope to have a solution for grapevine and citrus and cacao in the future.”\nFrom “highs and lows” to “we can do this”\nIt’s been a long road, but Simon is energized by the possibilities ahead.\n“When you’re going through this process you have highs and lows—there’s nothing that says just keep trying you’ll get it,” Simon explained. “You have investors, you don’t want to be leading people on and you’re giving hope to the industry, and you don’t want to be leading them on. But it is all working so far and now I’m at the point where I’m saying we can do this.”\nAway from the lab, Simon still occasionally consults on entertainment and government projects, and she continues to enjoy some celebrity status for her work on all nine seasons of “The X-Files,” the 2016 X-Files miniseries and her 2001 book “The Real Science Behind the X-Files: Microbes, Meteorites and Mutants.” She even appears as a regular guest at X-Files conventions.\n“I’ll be at an X-Files convention as one of the people who signs autographs and stuff,” Simon explained. “The fun thing is having long lines of people who say they’ve always wanted to meet you.”\nIn all aspects of her life, Simon is as passionate as ever about her work as a scientist. She never imagined launching a startup like Silvec Biologics, but she’s more than ready to take on the challenges ahead, grateful for the support and partnership UMD has provided throughout this process and eager to apply her extensive knowledge and experience in ways where she can make a real difference, in the citrus industry and beyond.\n“I’ve developed all of this knowledge for 40 years, so isn’t it time that I start to give back?” Simon reflected. “Using all of this knowledge is really beneficial for society, for the university and for the state. If we can come up with a solution for some of these problems and if we can then help others also come up with solutions, I will be beyond happy about that.”", "label": "No"}
{"text": "The old saying, “We are scraping at the bottom of the barrel,” seems about right when it comes to the current feed being used. With the 2014 harvest just on the horizon, many swine and poultry producers are finding the last of the 2013 grains being used in feed is of substantially lower quality. Even when stored in the best conditions, grains never improve quality during the storage period. Grain quality is either maintained or lost, taking with it the farm’s net returns. Corn, a key ingredient in swine and poultry diets, can represent close to 60 percent of the total feed.\n“The quality of the grains stored depends on many different aspects and it starts in the field by choosing the hybrid to be planted, density of plants, tillage management and weather conditions,” said Guilherme Bromfman, Alltech’s North American mycotoxin management manager. “Post-harvest there are also key factors such as air management, insect control, moisture of grains, rodents, molds and weather conditions during storage.”\nAccording to Bromfman, it is imperative that grains are stored under 13 percent moisture, however even if dried to that level, there is a risk for moisture absorption as the hygroscopic equilibrium of the corn fluctuates based on temperature and relative humidity. The movement of the moisture inside the silos generates “hot spots,” small areas with higher moisture and an increased incidence of molds, that through respiratory process elevates the temperature.\n“When a higher mold incidence occurs there are two key challenges, first is the reduction of nutritional values and the other is a higher frequency of mycotoxins,” Bromfman said.\nFor both poultry and swine, a recent analysis of trials showed that mycotoxins reduced weight, increased feed conversion and had a reduction in net returns per animal.\n“As we get closer to this time of the year where the last corn in the silos is used in the diets, it is crucial to have a complete mycotoxin management program in place,” Bromfman said. “Alltech’s broad detection mycotoxin laboratory analyzes feed contamination and manages potential risks in the feed mill and in production houses to minimize the impact low quality grain can have on livestock and poultry performance and profitability.\nPut your feed to the test and see what your risk is with Alltech’s 37+TM mycotoxin analysis. 37+ assists detecting and addressing the risks caused by over 37 mycotoxins, giving you the ability to manage your mycotoxin challenge and reduce the effects it has on your animals’ performance and profitability.

{"text": "by Brent Blackwelder and Randall Hayes\nJune 18, 2012\nWe are two aging environmentalists with more than 80 years between us spent advocating for a cleaner planet and healthier economy. Even from our well-worn perch, what will be taking place at the Rio+20 Earth Summit in Brazil this week has the makings of a potential game changer.\nThe summit is the largest ever organized by the United Nations and is expected to draw more than 50,000 people from 190 countries, including 130 world leaders. The last time the UN organized a conference of this magnitude was 20 years ago in Rio de Janeiro – thus the conference nickname, Rio+20. Just as it did two decades ago, the UN is bringing together governments, international institutions and other major groups to consider a range of measures that will promote economic stability while restoring the delicate balance of the earth’s diverse ecosystems.\nIf anything, the stakes are even higher today.\nWe’ve seen the effects of the cumulative impact of over-consumption, over-reliance on fossil fuels and the unending push for material growth at any cost. At the same time, we are facing growing wealth disparity and increasing poverty across the globe. World economic and environmental policy can either come together to support an ecologically sensible future or pull further apart, threatening the health and wellbeing of our planet and all living beings for generations to come.\nAt this critical juncture, Rio+20 offers an important opportunity for action. We should start by recognizing that saving our planet is not only essential – it is absolutely doable. Our organization, Foundation Earth, reviewed more than a dozen scorecards that grade nations on major issues effecting sustainability. We found examples of countries that are excelling in critical areas:\n- Germany leads the world with more than 20 percent of its electricity supplied by renewable resources such as wind power and solar. It is on a path to reach 100 percent renewable energy perhaps as soon as 2035, precipitating the shutdown of all the country’s nuclear power plants, generating hundreds of thousands of jobs and creating a model for a vibrant green economy.\n- Ecuador became the first country to include a Rights to Nature provision in its constitution in 2008, giving people the legal authority to enforce the right of ecosystems to “exist, persist, maintain and regenerate its vital cycles.”\n- And the Dominican Republic has strove since 2003 to increase the country’s forest cover, which is critical to ecosystem health, water supply and weather stabilization, from 32 percent to nearly 40 percent.\nRio+20 also offers a unique opportunity to learn from past mistakes – and vow not to repeat them. Notably, Brazil, the summit’s host country, is fast becoming a microcosm of what not to do as it follows in the footsteps of other nations whose rise to world economic prominence has been accompanied by an increase in degradation of the planet.\nBrazil’s leaders seem determined to hinge the nation’s economic future on becoming a dominant player in world agriculture. To that end the country is poised to sacrifice the Amazon rainforest, the world’s greatest, through extensive industrial agricultural expansion of food and biofuel crops and massive dam building. The result will be catastrophic weather disruption in Latin America where the Amazon acts as its own rain-making machine and weather regulator.\nIn January Brazil’s new president Dilma Rousseff expedited plans for 20 major dams in the Amazon by removing protection of natural areas. The huge Belo Monte Dam will displace more than 20,000 indigenous people, inundate forests, ruin fisheries and release massive amounts of greenhouse gases. Brazil has now graduated to second place as the world’s second largest destroyer of rivers, after China.\nThe summit offers Brazil’s leaders the perfect opportunity to reverse course on recent actions to weaken the country’s Forest Code, which, among other things, gave landowners the right to significantly decrease rainforest preservation.\nAgain, this is not an insurmountable task. The U.S., once the world’s greatest river destroyer, is now a global leader in restoring free-flowing rivers. Since 1970 more than 250 rivers in the U.S. have been put off limits to damming and diversion and more than 1,000 dams have been removed to restore fisheries and water quality.\nOf course, all these measures are simply pieces of a larger puzzle. Taken together they have the potential to spur critical action toward the creation of a global green economy. The first Rio summit in 1992 led to the implementation of the “Kyoto Protocol” on limiting greenhouse gases, a measure that has unfortunately not lived up to its initial promise. Let’s not squander the opportunity this time to ensure that 20 years from now our planet will be headed in the right direction and that Rio+20 will be a model of collective resolve in reaching our ultimate goal – an environmentally and economically sensible future.\nABOUT THE WRITERS\nBrent Blackwelder is president emeritus of Friends of the Earth and founding chairman of American Rivers.

While a lot of these will be familiar to them, they will also be learning quite a few new terms.\nIn algebra, they’ll explore symbols, operations, equations, and unknown quantities. They’ll learn the commutative property and the associative property. Some of these terms will be very important to know and use regularly, while others are simply meant to be introduced.\nIn geometry, they’ll learn the names of various shapes in more specific terms, like polygons, quadrilaterals, and parallelograms. They’ll study solid figures and learn the difference between a triangular prism, a cone, and a sphere. They’ll also learn about lines and angles, as well as slides, flips, and turns.\nIn measurement, they’ll need to know the US Customary System and all of its units of measurement. These include inches, feet, cups, quarts, pints, and pounds, just to name a few. The Metric System comes with its own terms, like centimeter, meter, gram, kilogram, and liter.\nIn the area of number sense, students will be expected to know terms like place value, digits, standard form, and expanded form. They’ll use regrouping in subtraction and learn to estimate and round.\nThere will be many new third grade math terms to learn in third grade, but the good news is that they build upon what students already know.", "label": "No"}
{"text": "“A delinquent child may be passing down more than just used clothes to younger siblings”\n- Bert O. Burraston in ‘Brothers in Deviance’\nWhen we say boys will be boys, argues Burraston, we give lot of room to parents to overlook the bullying pattern of an older brother towards younger siblings. Recent studies conducted show that this is very likely that bullying among older siblings translates into aggression in younger ones, making them bullies or worse. In fact, researchers also suggested in their studies that juvenile delinquency and crime in older siblings would most likely translate into violence in his younger siblings before parents realize the extent of damage. Teenage boys would like to train their younger siblings, particularly brothers to make them partners in crime. The training may occur consciously or subconsciously, depending on the bond between the siblings.\nStudies suggest that there are high chances that younger siblings would follow footsteps of a trouble maker older sibling. If the bond is strong between the siblings, then the younger one would do anything to please his older sibling – even committing a crime or getting into trouble. It is advised that parents follow a two-pronged approach while handling troubled teenagers – provide youth services to the older delinquent sibling and address risk of younger siblings getting influenced.\nThe Pittsburgh and Cambridge Longitudinal research stresses on the role of parents and older siblings in determining violent or delinquent behavior of a child. The study maintains that most important factor in youth crimes remains the criminal activities of the father – estimated 63% of juveniles are at risk of committing crime because of their fathers’ criminality. Another major factor for juvenile delinquency determined in this research is influence of an older sibling involved in crime. This effect is more pronounced in children who do not have parental supervision and are under the care of a delinquent older sibling. The chances are high that such children will end up being juvenile offenders themselves.\nHowever, there are several other factors that cause delinquent behavior in a child. According to the research paper, variables such as gender, family structure, IQ level, social and financial background of family and generic or biological issues play significant roles in determining child’s inclination to violence and crime. These strategies or programs focused on family-based interventions, which could determine behavior of the youth offender.", "label": "No"}
{"text": "Ahoy, a signal word originally used to call a ship, was once a standard way to greet others and was Alexander Graham Bell’s suggested greeting for answering the telephone.\nAhoy is a signal word used to call to a ship or boat. The word stems from the Middle English cry “Hoy!”, a greeting derived from the Dutch “Hoi”.\nSeafarers used the word ‘ahoy’ in song well before the word’s first recorded use in print. The term was first referenced as a new nautical term in the 1751 novel The Adventures of Peregrine Pickle by Tobias Smollett. In its early usage, ‘ahoy’ was used as both an exclamation and a way to get someone’s attention. By 1813, ‘ahoy’ was a widely used word in the English language, and the first half of the 19th Century brought the term (or a close variant) to neighboring languages. ‘Ahoy’ soon became a popular greeting outside of nautical situations.\nWhile ‘ahoy’ fell out of the popular English lexicon for a time, the word later rose from obscurity as the sport of sailing grew in popularity. ‘Ahoy’ can still be heard used as a greeting, a warning, or to say farewell.\nWhile ‘hello’ is the standard English language greeting today, the word has only been around since 1827. In its early days, ‘hello’ was used to attract attention or express surprise, as in, “Well, hello, what have we here?”\n‘Hello’ didn’t become the standard greeting as we know it today until the arrival of the telephone. Thomas Edison urged people to say ‘hello’ when answering his phone.\nAlexander Graham Bell, the Scottish-born innovator credited with patenting the first commercial telephone, originally suggested ‘Ahoy-hoy’ as the standard greeting when answering the telephone. ‘Ahoy’ had been around at least 100 years longer than ‘hello’, and its nautical origins along with common usage as a greeting made it a strong candidate.\nThe de facto telephone greeting we know and use today was solidified after the first telephone books sanctioned ‘hello’ as the official greeting in their authoritative How To... sections. ‘Hello’ quickly eclipsed ‘ahoy’, but Bell insisted upon answering the phone with ‘ahoy’ for the rest of his life.\nIn pop culture, The Simpsons’ Mr. Burns also answers the telephone as Mr. Bell intended:", "label": "No"}
{"text": "What is it?\nMammography is a low dose X-ray that is used to take images of the breasts. Doctors use it to diagnose breast disease in women. Mammography can detect changes in the breast up to 2 years before you or your physician can feel them. Your doctor will determine when you should begin having routine mammograms based on your family history of cancer. The American Cancer Society advises women 40 and older to have a mammogram performed annually since the risk of breast cancer increases as a woman gets older.\nHow do I prepare?\nYou shouldn’t schedule your mammogram the week before your period if your breasts are usually tender during this time. It is best to schedule the test one week after your period. If there’s a possibility that you are pregnant your doctor or the technologist must be informed prior to the test being conducted. Other preparations that you should make are:\n- Do not wear deodorant, powder or lotion under your arms or on your breasts. They can appear on your mammogram as calcium spots.\n- Tell your doctor and the technologist of any breast symptoms or problems that you have been experiencing.\nYou will be asked to remove all jewelry and clothing above the waist before the exam. A gown or loose fitting material that opens in the front will be provided.\nHow is the procedure performed?\nYou will stand in front of the X-ray machine, and the technologist will place your breast between two plastic/plexiglass plates. The plates press your breast as flat as possible for clear images to be taken. This compression will cause you to feel pressure on the breast. Let your technologist know if you are experiencing significant discomfort so the compression can be lessened.\nThe technologist will position your body and arm in a way that will help the images come out as clear as possible. The technologist will then go behind a glass shield to take the images. You will be asked to change positions slightly between images.\nThe process usually takes about 30 minutes. You will be asked to wait while the technologist views the images to see if more are needed.", "label": "No"}

{"text": "The reality of open source is that it in fact predates commercial software, when computers became available around 1945 the primary mode of software development was extremely collaborative. People learned how to program working for computer manufacturers who didn’t see any benefit to the commercialization of the software. Why is it that today the commercial software industry dominates a landscape where open source software is equally capable?\nThe answer might be as simple as marketing. In fact, the term Open Source (OSI) was intended to be a marketing slogan that replaced the loosely termed “free software” movement.\nUnfortunately, OSI does not have the deep pockets of a large commercial establishment. As Steve Yegge pointed out in a recent podcast, people don’t really care how good your product is – it’s only about the brand association they have made with it. This is why Kleenex is so popular or that New Coke failed despite the fact that it actually tasted better. Once consumers have accepted your brand it’s very difficult to break that connection.\nWhy is this a problem for Open Source?\nConsumers have already made a connection with commercial software, they know who Microsoft is and accept the products offered by that brand. Apple is experiencing a resurgence primarily as a result of brand, consumers have accepted Mac as a high-end computer that “just works”.\nNormally, brands can try to re-establish themselves by choosing new names. To some extent, the free software movement already attempted to do this by calling themselves Open Source. The problem is, open source has no visibility in the consumer marketplace because it is free by design. You won’t see any glossy ads in Wired for LInux or flashy TV promo spots for the latest version of Firefox. In many ways, it’s amazing that open source has made any inroads at all.\nJust because something is good doesn’t mean that consumers will use it. You might have the best software in the world, but if it isn’t promoted properly your market will never materialize. Of course when you product is free then consumers have no reason to buy it, in which case the market for your product is somewhat difficult to define.\nTo some extent the Internet has been an equalizer in this regard, if you visit the Firefox homepage you will find that the product looks attractive and the site may even convince you to install the program. Unfortunately, things are still somewhat muddy for potential users of open source solutions since it’s unclear how you get the product when there is nothing to buy.\nMaybe the only way open source can take a foothold is if users can be convinced that software is suppose to be free? Unfortunately, for this to happen it will take significant financial investment and an extensive advertising campaign – neither of which is something that free software can afford to do. So ultimately it may be that the only way free software can reach people is by making it something you pay for rather than give away.", "label": "No"}
{"text": "My guess is that Melville Louis Kossuth Dewey wouldn't be too upset with advancements of today's library systems. Dewey was a pioneering influence in the development of libraries in America at the beginning of the 20th century. And yes, he is best known for the classification system that is used in most public and school libraries - know as the Dewey Decimal System.\nBut the decimal system was just one of a long list of Dewey's innovations. Dewey is also known for the creation of hanging vertical files and for founding the Library Bureau, a private company created \"for the definite purpose of furnishing libraries with equipment and supplies of unvarying correctness and reliability.\"\nHmmm... sounds a little like what RFID aims to do - improve processes by applying a technology that delivers \"unvarying correctness and reliability\".\nLeave it to RFID to handily replace a system that’s been in place for 135 years. RFID in libraries is not a new concept, but we wanted to dedicate today’s blog post to it for a few reasons.\nThe more well-known uses for RFID in libraries are for anti-theft measures and to reduce the amount of time required to perform circulation operations. The time savings are a result of the fact that information can be read from RFID tags much faster than from barcodes, and several books in a stack can be read at the same time. Using wireless technology, it becomes much easier and faster to update the inventory and identify the books that are misplaced.\nAside from the common and very useful deployments, there are many more uses of RFID in libraries. For example, people can find exactly where a book is, even if it’s on the wrong shelf or even in the wrong section. That’s a key element that sets RFID apart from the Dewey Decimal System. Sorry Mr. Dewey.\nAnother not-so-known benefit is that RFID can be used to track reference books which are used at the library instead of being taken out. Without RFID, the only way to know which items were being used frequently, was for a librarian to actually see the books in use and which ones were being left on tables; obviously not a precise method. Barcoding, Inc. has developed an RFID system that tells librarians how often books are taken from shelves, and how long they are off the shelf. With this system, seldom used reference materials can be kept in storage rooms, leaving the shelf space for the more popular books.\nBarcodes, which are most commonly used today, can be replaced with RFID tags which last much longer. Remember when we took out a book from the school library and you wrote your name and date on a card that went in a pocket on the inside cover? I do. Those were replaced by barcodes, and now it may be time for them to retire. RFID tags last longer than barcodes because fewer things come into contact with them. Many are placed inside the cover or binding. Some RFID vendors claim approximately 100,000 transactions before a tag may need to be replaced.\nYou may be saying to yourself, is it really necessary to deploy RFID systems in libraries? I bet you remember (again, I do) looking for a book for a school project and finding the empty space on the shelf where it was supposed to be, and the librarian was certain that the book had not been taken out. You either had to look around on nearby shelves hoping it was close by, or come back the next day hoping it turned up and was put back in its place. Either way, the school project got completed and we somehow survived.\nBut, ask yourself this question. Can libraries afford not to implement an RFID system? As noted by consultant Karen Coyle, library circulation, the primary function where RFID can make a significant impact, is increasing, while library budgets are on the decline. As with most RFID projects, they can be easily integrated with a minimal up-front investment. They can provide a speedy ROI, helping control circulation costs that are on the rise.\nI don’t know about you, but I’d rather know that my hometown library is still around and doing well, event at the expense of the Dewey Decimal System.", "label": "No"}

To think of the tragedy that could have happen is quite scary. Luckily no one got hurt, and Seevakumaran ended up taking his own life.\nIt seems that school shootings are on the rise. From the Columbine High shooting to the killing of innocent children at Sandy Hook, and everything in between, it seems that it’s getting harder to protect people from such devastating events. While it is rare that school violence ends as tragically as it did at Virginia Tech and Lone Star College, it’s common for students- and parents- to worry about something happening to them.\nWhile we may never understand what could drive a person to become so hateful and angry, one will still find themselves wondering why it happened. What influences did this person have that would cause them want to be violent with others? Sometimes, people who become violent are victims of teasing and bullying. They have reached a level of frustration that just causes them to snap and venture over to the dark side. Others may be acting out on behaviors that they’ve seen at home, on television, in video games, in movies, or on the streets. Some may feel isolated and rejected by family or friends, or life itself. While there is no way in stopping school violence completely, there are preventative measures we can take to lessen its occurrence.\nFor starters, guns should not be easily accessible to other individuals. If you think about it, most school violence is committed by children. They are not old enough to even legally obtain a gun, yet they still get their hands on them. If you are a gun owner, you should have your gun stored and locked away in a safe. Also, schools should offer more counseling services. Transitions in life can be quite stressful on a person, especially if you’re transitioning from teenager to adult. If you are bombarded with events that are impacting your life, a counselor or trusted adult should be there to help you. If you feel unsafe or a being bullied, there is always someone you can go and speak with to help you cope with things.", "label": "No"}

{"text": "Michael Mackert and Marie Guadagno\nAdvertising as a field and industry often has a contentious relationship with both health communication and public health due to legitimate concerns about how advertising for certain products, such as alcohol and tobacco, could contribute to less-healthy decisions and behaviors. While acknowledging such concerns, advertisers and their approach to solving communication problems could also provide valuable lessons to those working in health communication. Indeed, advertising agencies are designed to develop creative and effective messages that change consumer behavior—and health communication practitioners and scholars aim to change population-level behavior as well. The perspective and approach of the account planner in the advertising agency—a role whose chief responsibility is to bring the consumer perspective into every step of the advertising development process and inspire effective and creative campaigns—would be particularly valuable to those working in health communication. It was account planning work that shifted traditional milk advertising from promoting it as a healthy drink to the iconic “got milk?” campaign, which positioned milk as a complement that makes other food better—an approach that drove positive sales after years of declining milk consumption. Yet many who work in health communication and public health often know little of how advertising agencies work or their internal processes that might be productively adopted. This lack of understanding can also lead to misperceptions of advertisers’ work and intentions. As an example, one might assume dense medical language in prescription drug advertising is intended to add unnecessary complexity to the advertisements and obscure side effects; instead, advertising professionals who work on prescription drug advertising have often been trained on clear communication—but cannot fully utilize that training because of regulations that require medically accurate terminology that might not be comprehensible to most viewers. Improved understanding of how advertisers can act as agents of change, and increased dialogue between the fields of advertising and health communication, could contribute to improved health communication research, practice, and policy.\nBrenda L. Berkelaar and Millie Harrison\nBroadly speaking, cybervetting can be described as the acquisition and use of online information to evaluate the suitability of an individual or organization for a particular role. When cybervetting, an information seeker gathers information about an information target from online sources in order to evaluate past behavior, to predict future behavior, or to address some combination thereof. Information targets may be individuals, groups, or organizations. Although often considered in terms of new hires or personnel selection, cybervetting may also include acquiring and using online information in order to evaluate a prospective or current client, employee, employer, romantic partner, roommate, tenant, client, or other relational partner, as well as criminal, civil, or intelligence suspects. Cybervetting takes advantage of information made increasingly available and easily accessible by regular and popular uses and affordances of Internet technologies, in particular social media. Communication scholars have long been interested in the information seeking, impression management, surveillance, and other processes implicated in cybervetting; however, the uses and affordances of new online information technologies offer new dimensions for theory and research as well as ethical and practical concerns for individuals, groups, organizations, and society.\nIn the European Union, “television-like” is a legal concept, introduced in 2007 as a part of a political compromise over the scope of the new Audiovisual Media Services Directive (AVMSD). The European Commission had originally intended to expand the new rules on linear television programming to cover also all new nonlinear audiovisual content services intended for the same audiences online. This approach was objected to by the U.K. government, which saw it as potentially harmful for the growth of the new online media. Although left practically alone in the opposition in the EU decision-making process, the U.K. government managed with the support of the U.K. regulator Ofcom and the U.K. industry alliance to limit the new directive to cover only “television-like” online services. According to AVMSD Recital 24, these services should “compete for the same audience as television broadcasts” while “the concept of ‘programme’ should be interpreted in a dynamic way taking into account developments in television broadcasting.” The vagueness of this concept has left room for very different and even opposing interpretations. A number of national regulatory authorities in Europe as well as the Court of Justice of the European Union argue that parts of some newspaper’s websites can also be classified as video-on-demand services, while Ofcom has systematically excluded all the audiovisual services on the websites of British newspapers from regulation.\nCreating a clear definition of “TV-like” content or services is difficult not just because of the vague wording of the EU directive or digital media convergence, but because the whole concept is based on another set of concepts, which definitions are highly dependent on time and context: television, program, and channel as a practice of packaging content into a linear transmission schedule. Early TV was indeed showing radio programming in production, or radio with pictures. From a contemporary perspective, full-length films may seem to be typical content for television, but most of them have originally been made for theatrical distribution. Over the years, audiovisual media formerly known as television has expanded on multiple platforms and its content has also been available in different on demand-type formats for several decades. So depending on your perspective, there is either a plentitude of “TV-like” content services besides the genuine TV or a wide variety of different flavors of television. Currently, it can be argued whether TV is in terminal decline or just integrating with mobile and online media, but it is obvious that any efforts to define “TV-like” content could make sense only as long the traditional, linear type of (broadcast) TV continues to have an important role in our societies and media cultures.\nCourtney Barclay and Kearston Wesner\nThis is an advance summary of a forthcoming article in the Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Communication. Please check back later for the full article.\nDrones armed with cameras have allowed journalists to capture images from new perspectives and in places previously unreachable. Footage of volcanic eruptions, war-torn villages, and nuclear disaster areas have all been made possible with drone technology. However, this same technology presents risks to personal privacy.\nSince before Warren and Brandeis penned the oft cited Right to Privacy, newsgatherers have tested the boundaries of society’s notion of privacy. The development of new technologies at the time, such as the snap camera, made photography a faster, more efficient endeavor. Warren and Brandeis recognized that the increased photographic recording of society threatened individual privacy on a scale never before imagined. More than a century later, the use of new technology—drones outfitted with cameras and other imaging devices—has once again ignited debate over how to protect an individual’s privacy while ensuring journalists’ ability to gather news.\nThe traditional remedy for intrusive journalism has been through tort law, which requires an individual to show that she or he had a reasonable expectation of privacy. By and large, these laws have favored journalists; however, that result is usually based on the fact that the newsgathering activity occurred in a public place rather than any recognition of the importance of newsgathering. State lawmakers have begun to address drone photography with a wide variety of approaches that would move away from this public place exception—from prohibiting photography over private property to prohibiting any photography without someone’s consent, even in a public place.\nThe press has recognized the cost to individual privacy incurred by use of technologies such as drone photography. Professional codes of ethics instruct journalists to minimize harm to the public, requiring an “overriding” public interest to invade someone’s privacy. The Professional Society of Drone Journalists’ Code of Ethics addresses the additional responsibilities inherent to drone technology. Under this code, journalists should record only public spaces and delete any images of individuals in a private space.\nDrone technology represents only one of the latest developments in surveillance used for law enforcement, commercial enterprise, and journalism. However, its growth and the gaps in privacy tort law underscore the importance of strong codes of ethics that serve the interests of both newsgathering and individual privacy.\nBrenda L. Berkelaar and Millie A. Harrison\nInformation visibility refers to the degree to which information is available and accessible. Availability focuses on whether people could acquire particular information if they wanted. Accessibility focuses on the effort needed to acquire available information. In scholarly, industry, and popular press, people often conflate information visibility with transparency, yet transparency is generally a valued or ideological concept, whereas visibility is an empirical concept. Growing interest in studying and managing information visibility corresponds with the rapid growth in the use of digital, networked technologies. Yet, interest in information visibility existed prior to the introduction of networked information and communication technologies. Research has historically focused on information visibility as a form of social control and as a tool to increase individual, organizational, and social control and coordination. As a research area, information visibility ties to classic communication and interdisciplinary concerns, as well as core concerns of contemporary society including privacy, surveillance, transparency, accountability, democracy, secrecy, coordination, control, and efficiency. An emerging research area with deep historical roots, information visibility offers a promising avenue for future research.\nInternet neutrality—usually net(work) neutrality—encompasses the idea that all data packets that circulate on the Internet should be treated equally, without discriminating between users, types of content, platforms, sites, applications, equipment, or modes of communication. The debate about this normative principle revolves around the Internet as a set of distribution channels and how and by whom these channels can be used to control communication. The controversy was spurred by advancements in technology, the increased usage of bandwidth-intensive services, and changing economic interests of Internet service providers. Internet service providers are not only important technical but also central economic actors in the management of the Internet’s architecture. They seek to increase revenue, to recover sizable infrastructure upgrades, and expand their business model. This has consequences for the net neutrality principle, for individual users and corporate content providers. In the case of Internet service providers becoming content providers themselves, net neutrality proponents fear that providers may exclude competitor content, distribute it poorly and more slowly, and require competitors to pay for using high-speed networks. Net neutrality is not only a debate on infrastructure business models that is carried out in economic expert circles. On the contrary, and despite its technical character, it has become an issue in the public debate and an issue that is framed not only in economic but also in political and social terms. The main dividing line in the debate is whether net neutrality regulation is necessary or not and what scope net neutrality obligations should have. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in the United States passed new net neutrality rules in 2015 and strengthened its legal underpinning regarding the regulation of Internet service providers (ISPs). With the Telecoms Single Market Regulation, for the first time there will be a European Union–wide legislation for net neutrality, but not recent dilution of requirements. From a communication studies perspective, Internet neutrality is an issue because it relates to a number of topics addressed in communication research, including communication rights, diversity of media ownership, media distribution, user control, and consumer protection. The connection between legal and economic bodies of research, dominating net neutrality literature, and communication studies is largely underexplored. The study of net neutrality would benefit from such a linkage.\nYvonnes Chen and Joseph Erba\nMedia literacy describes the ability to access, analyze, evaluate, and produce media messages. As media messages can influence audiences’ attitudes and behaviors toward various topics, such as attitudes toward others and risky behaviors, media literacy can counter potential negative media effects, a crucial task in today’s oversaturated media environment. Media literacy in the context of health promotion is addressed by analyzing the characteristics of 54 media literacy programs conducted in the United States and abroad that have successfully influenced audiences’ attitudes and behaviors toward six health topics: prevention of alcohol use, prevention of tobacco use, eating disorders and body image, sex education, nutrition education, and violent behavior. Because media literacy can change how audiences perceive the media industry and critique media messages, it could also reduce the potential harmful effects media can have on audiences’ health decision-making process.\nThe majority of the interventions have focused on youth, likely because children’s and adolescents’ lack of cognitive sophistication may make them more vulnerable to potentially harmful media effects. The design of these health-related media literacy programs varied. Many studies’ interventions consisted of a one-course lesson, while others were multi-month, multi-lesson interventions. The majority of these programs’ content was developed and administered by a team of researchers affiliated with local universities and schools, and was focused on three main areas: reduction of media consumption, media analysis and evaluations, and media production and activism. Media literacy study designs almost always included a control group that did not take part in the intervention to confirm that potential changes in health and risk attitudes and behaviors among participants could be attributed to the intervention. Most programs were also designed to include at least one pre-intervention test and one post-intervention test, with the latter usually administered immediately following the intervention. Demographic variables, such as gender, age or grade level, and prior behavior pertaining to the health topic under study, were found to affect participants’ responses to media literacy interventions.\nIn these 54 studies, a number of key media literacy components were clearly absent from the field. First, adults—especially those from historically underserved communities—were noticeably missing from these interventions. Second, media literacy interventions were often designed with a top-down approach, with little to no involvement from or collaboration with members of the target population. Third, the creation of counter media messages tailored to individuals’ needs and circumstances was rarely the focus of these interventions. Finally, these studies paid little attention to evaluating the development, process, and outcomes of media literacy interventions with participants’ sociodemographic characteristics in mind. Based on these findings, it is recommended that health-related media literacy programs fully engage community members at all steps, including in the critical analysis of current media messages and the production and dissemination of counter media messages. Health-related media literacy programs should also impart participants and community members with tools to advocate for their own causes and health behaviors.\nJessica Fitts Willoughby\nPeople who communicate health and risk information are often trying to determine new and innovative ways to reach members of their target audience. Because of the nearly ubiquitous use of mobile phones among individuals in the United States and the continued proliferation of such devices around the world, communicators have turned to mobile as a possible channel for disseminating health information. Mobile health, often referred to as mHealth, uses mobile and portable devices to communicate information about health and to monitor health issues. Cell phones are one primary form of mHealth, with the use of cell phone features such as text messaging and mobile applications (apps) often used as a way to provide health information and motivation to target audience members. Text messaging, or short message service (SMS), is a convenient form for conveying health information, as most cell phone owners regularly send and receive text messages. mHealth offers benefits over other channels for communicating health information, such as convenience, portability, interactivity, and the ability to personalize or tailor messages. Additionally, mHealth has been found to be effective at changing attitudes and behaviors related to health. Research has found mobile to be a tool useful for promoting healthy attitudes and behaviors related to a number of topic areas, from increased sexual health to decreased alcohol consumption. Literature from health communication and research into mHealth can provide guidance for health communicators looking to develop an effective mHealth intervention or program, but possible concerns related to the use of mobile need to be considered, such as concerns about data security and participant privacy.\nHenry A. Giroux\nEducation in society occurs across both formal and informal spheres of communication exchange. It extends from schools to diverse cultural apparatuses such as the mainstream media, alternative screen cultures, the Internet, and other spaces actively involved in the construction of knowledge, values, modes of identification, and agency itself. The modern era is shaped by a public pedagogy rooted in neoliberal capitalism that embraces consumer culture as the primary mechanism through which to express personal agency and identity. Produced and circulated through a depoliticizing machinery of fear and consumption, the cultural focus on the pursuit of individual desires rather than public responsibilities has led to a loss of public memory, democratic dissent, and political identity. As the public sphere collapses into the realm of the private, the bonds of mutual dependence have been shredded along with the public spheres that make such bonds possible. Freedom is reduced to a private matter divorced from the obligations of social life and politics only lives in the immediate. The personal has become the only sphere of politics that remains.\nThe rise of the selfie as a mode of public discourse and self-display demands critical scrutiny in terms of how it is symptomatic of the widespread shift toward market-driven values and a surveillance culture, increasingly facilitated by ubiquitous, commercial forms of digital technology and social media. Far from harmless, the unexamined “selfie” can be viewed as an example of how predatory technology-based capitalism socializes people in a way that encourages not only narcissism and anti-social indifference, but active participation in a larger authoritarian culture defined by a rejection of social bonds and cruelty toward others. As with other forms of cultural and self-expression, the selfie—when placed in alternative, collective frameworks—can also become a tool for engaging in struggles over meaning. Possibilities for social change that effectively challenges growing inequality, atomization, and injustice under neoliberalism can only emerge from the creation of new, broad-ranging sites of pedagogy capable of building new political communities and drawing attention to anti-democratic structures throughout the broader society.\nS. Anne Moorhead\nSocial media used for communication purposes within healthcare contexts is increasing and becoming more acceptable. The users of social media for healthcare communication include members of the general public, patients, health professionals, and health organizations. The uses of social media for healthcare communication are various and include providing health information on a range of conditions; providing answers to medical questions; facilitating dialogue between patients and between patients and health professionals; collecting data on patient experiences and opinions used for health intervention, health promotion, and health education; reducing stigma; and providing online consultations. With emerging advances over time, including new platforms and purposes, these uses will change and expand, increasing usability and thus providing more opportunities to use social media in connection to healthcare in the future. However, both patients and health professionals may require training to fully maximize the uses of using social media in healthcare.\nSocial media has numerous benefits for healthcare communication, including increased interactions with others; more available, shared, and tailored information; increased accessibility and widening access; and increased peer/social/emotional support. While there may be further benefits of using social media in healthcare, there are many limitations of social media for healthcare communication as well. The main reported limitations include a lack of reliability; quality concerns; and lack of confidentiality and privacy. From the available evidence, it is clear that maintaining patient privacy as well as the security and integrity of information shared are concerns when using social media.\nAs patients and members of the general public use social media widely, some may expect it in healthcare, thus it important for health professionals and organizations to manage expectations of social media in healthcare communication. This results in challenges ranging from encouraging staff to use social media to dealing with user problems and complaints. It is recommended that organizations embrace social media but have a specific purpose for each activity and platform while continually monitoring traffic. Regardless of the nature or size of the healthcare organization, it is time to adopt appropriate guidelines for the use of the social media in healthcare communication to address the challenges and the growing expectations of using social media, especially within healthcare contexts. The key message is that social media has the potential to supplement and complement but not replace other methods to improve communication and interaction among members of the general public, patients, health professionals, and healthcare organizations.", "label": "No"}
{"text": "Shroud of Turin\nMany religious people believe the Shroud of Turin is a genuine artifact from the burial of Jesus. The first problem for me is that there is very little evidence Jesus even existed, but that isn't the subject for this page so I'll move onto the next point. That is, if we assume Jesus existed, could the shroud be genuine? The answer is its very unlikely. While nothing can ever be ruled out entirely, the evidence showing the shroud has nothing to do with Jesus is practically undeniable.\nMost people who believe in the authenticity of the shroud also believe the Bible is a true historical record. But have a look at the account of Jesus' burial in the Gospel of John and you will see the description is incompatible with the shroud. John mentions many cloths, and 100 pounds of burial spices. The shroud is a single cloth, and has no evidence of spice. Sounds like its not the real thing, doesn't it? Even if we reject John (and we should, since the Bible isn't reliable) we know the Jews of that era did not bury their dead with a single cloth, and the use of spices was common.\nFrom the American Standard Version. John 19:39-40. And there came also Nicodemus, he who at the first came to him by night, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds. So they took the body of Jesus, and bound it in linen cloths with the spices, as the custom of the Jews is to bury.\nApart from the Bible, which as I said, is unreliable anyway, we have historical evidence that the shroud is fake. It first showed up in middle of 14th century and there is no record of it before that. Isn't that a bit suspicious? Even the bishops of the time reported to the Pope that it was part of a scam. Apparently, people were hired to pretend they were cured by it. It was painted by an artist, and a forger even admitted that he created it. The general style fits this theory - its French gothic art.\nIf that isn't enough, what about scientific evidence? The shroud was sampled a by lab and they found the pattern was created using paint. In 1988 it was radio carbon dated by three labs, and it was reliably dated to the 14th century. Tests for blood were negative. Areas which were supposed to be blood stains were bright red, when blood should be darkened by age. The shroud was charred by fire in 1532, but this wouldn't affect the dating because samples were from an undamaged area. The samples were supplied by the Catholic Church, so presumably they took them from a reasonable location. Since then they have refused to supply another one after the validity of the original was questioned. But there is no real reason to believe the sample had any major flaws.\nReligious people have a great ability for believing things which have no evidence to support them. They call this faith, and pretend its a good thing. But believing in something which is obviously fake has nothing to do with exhibiting a positive characteristic, its demonstrating naive stupidity, and how can that be good?\nThe mundane origins of the shroud are far better supported than the religious interpretation. Supporters refuse to accept new historical and scientific evidence as it is discovered. Therefore I give this a moderately high score on the crap-ometer!\nSources of Further Information\nThere are many web sites with information on this subject. Below I have shown some which present the information for both sides of the argument.", "label": "No"}
{"text": "Dilution of precision (DOP), or geometric dilution of precision (GDOP), is a term used in satellite navigation and geomatics engineering to specify the additional multiplicative effect of navigation satellite geometry on positional measurement precision. Due to the relative geometry of any given satellite to a receiver, the precision in the pseudorange of the satellite translates to a corresponding component in each of the four dimensions of position measured by the receiver (i.e., x, y, z, and t). The precision of multiple satellites in view of a receiver combine according to the relative position of the satellites to determine the level of precision in each dimension of the receiver measurement. When visible navigation satellites are close together in the sky, the geometry is said to be weak and the DOP value is high; when far apart, the geometry is strong and the DOP value is low. Consider two overlapping rings, or annuli, of different centres. If they overlap at right angles, the greatest extent of the overlap is much smaller than if they overlap in near parallel. Thus a low DOP value represents a better positional precision due to the wider angular separation between the satellites used to calculate a unit's position. Other factors that can increase the effective DOP are obstructions such as nearby mountains or buildings. DOP can be expressed as a number of separate measurements. HDOP, VDOP, PDOP, and TDOP are respectively Horizontal, Vertical, Position (3D), and Time Dilution of Precision.\nThere is currently no content classified with this term.", "label": "No"}

They generally eat small plants, leaves of trees and various types of grasses.\nFeed habit of deer varies from their living condition. In wild nature they eat various types of plants and grasses from forest. And in domestic nature they eat the feed served by the farmer.\nFor domestic rearing of deer every farmer needs to know about the feed what deer eat and their feeding habits. Feeding habits and deer feed varies from region to region.\nOn an average wild deer eats all types of plants which are available near their living location. But for domestic rearing they need proper nutrition and balanced diet feed.\nOn an average a deer of 100 pounds body weight eat about 5 to 8 pounds feed daily. They consume more feed in winter season than summer season.\nWhat to Feed Deer\nDeer generally eat feed early in the morning and take rest whole day and start eating feed again in afternoon. Some favorite deer feed and their feed value are described below.\nDifferent kinds of nuts are available like red acorns, white acorns, hickory and beech nuts. Acorns contain high portion of carbohydrates and energy but low in protein. Acorn tastes sweet and deer like them very much. You can feed your deer acorn according to their demands.\nDifferent types of various non-woody plants are good feed source of deer. Feed them plants from roadside, edges of field etc. Plants are very important for deer health in summer season.\nLeaves of Tree\nDeer eat leaf of different trees. Leaf of trees is not their favorite feed. They eat leaf if nothing else is available near them. Deer generally eat leaf of the tree like blueberry, hemlock, dogwoods, honeysuckle, chokecherry, maples, aspen, poplar, poison ivy, sumac, mango, jack fruit etc.\nDeer should feed mushrooms. Because it contain high nutrition. There are some species of mushrooms which are deadly to human but deer can consume that easily.\nDeer eat various types of crops. Among them they like wheat, oats, sweet potatoes, peas, soybeans, alfalfa, clover, corn, gram etc. Crops are very important for deer health. So, feed them crop as much as you can.\nSupplementary Deer Feed\nFeed the deer some supplementary grainy feed. This will ensure the availability of all nutrition. Before feeding them supplementary feed be ensure that all nutrition ingredients are are available in the feed.\nWater is very important for all animal.

{"text": "The One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) project was the brainchild of Nicholas Negroponte, and has the stated goal of providing children everywhere the opportunity to learn. It’s really not intended to be a project about technology, and while many of the laptops are donated the prospect of being able to get a laptop and donate one at the same time for only $200 is extremely appealing.\nUnfortunately, for a project that is not intended to be about technology specifically it has been embroiled in a radical user interface design that is specifically targeted at kids. You can use the VMware Player on your own home computer to experiment with the OLPC desktop, a pre-built VMware appliance is available.\nWhy should this look so different from a Windows desktop? Rather than give the two-billion children in underdeveloped nations a computer with a standard desktop metaphore, the OLPC project is providing them a completely non-standard computing experience that has no provision for learning established GUI mechanisms.\nSure, there are menus and one might argue the nebulous onscreen “X” might be indicative of an icon, but generally speaking this is not anything like Windows XP, Mac OS X, Gnome or KDE.

{"text": "Published on Feb 28, 2016\nMechanical brakes all act by generating frictional forces as two surfaces rub against each other. The stopping power or capacity of a brake depends largely on the surface area of frictional surfaces as well as on the actuation force applied. The friction and wear encountered by the working surfaces are severe. Thus, the durability of a brake or service life between maintenance depends heavily on the type of material used to line the shoe or pad.\nMechanical brakes are assemblies consisting of mechanical elements for the slowing or stopping of shafts in equipment drives. They use levers or linkages to transmit force from one point to another. Braking slows or stops the movement of the coupled shafts. There are several types of mechanical brakes. Band brakes, the simplest brake configuration, have a metal band lined with heat and wear resistant friction material. Drum brakes, which are commonly used on automobile rear wheels, work when shoes press against a spinning surface called a drum. Disc brakes are constructed of brake pads, a caliper, and a rotor. During operation, the brake pads are squeezed against the rotor. Cone brakes are made with a cup and a cone, which is lined with heat and wear resistant material. During actuation, the cone is pressed against the mating cup surface.\nThe disc brake is a device for slowing or stopping the rotation of a wheel while it is in motion. A brake disc is usually made of cast iron , but may in some cases be made of composites such as reinforced carbon-carbon or ceramic -matrix composites. This is connected to the wheel and/or the axle . To stop the wheel, friction material in the form of brake pads (mounted on a device called a brake caliper ) is forced hydraulically , pneumatically or electromagnetically against both sides of the disc. Friction causes the disc and attached wheel to slow or stop. Brakes convert motion to heat, and if the brakes get too hot, they become less effective, a phenomenon known as brake fade .\nA drum brake is a brake in which the friction is caused by a set of shoes or pads that press againt a rotating drum-shaped part called a brake drum.\nThe term \"drum brake\" usually means a brake in which shoes press on the inner surface of the drum. When shoes press on the outside of the drum, it is usually called a clasp brake . Where the drum is pinched between two shoes, similar to a conventional disk brake , it is sometimes called a \"pinch drum brake\", although such brakes are relatively rare. A related type of brake uses a flexible belt or \"band\" wrapping around the outside of a drum, called a band brake .\nA compression engine brake is a device that can convert a diesel engine into an air compressor, a power absorbing device. These devices are used in trucking applications to provide a means for retarding the vehicle, supplementing the normal vehicle braking system. The retarding operation is under full control of the vehicle operator and can be used simultaneously with the normal service brakes. Engine brakes can be installed at any time to a new or used vehicle for most applications.\nEXHAUST BRAKING MECHANISM\nAn exhaust brake works by restricting the flow of exhaust gases through the engine Heavy goods vehicles can often require increased braking, in situations where friction brakes could overheat and fail. This is achieved by using an exhaust brake. It achieves this by closing a butterfly valve located in the exhaust manifold. This maintains high pressures in the exhaust manifold, and the engine cylinders, which in turn, acts as a brake against the engine rotating. This then slows the road wheels through the transmission, or power train.", "label": "No"}
{"text": "Talking Mats is an effective but deceptively simple tool so a question we are often asked is do you need training to use it. Communication and supporting people with communication difficulties is a complex process and Talking Mats is based on a number of research projects which examined who could use Talking Mats, and how best to use it in different situations. It is therefore important that the integrity of the Talking Mats model is maintained and that Talking Mats training teaches the principles developed from our evidence base.\nSome of these principles include:\n- Understanding who can and who cannot benefit from using Talking Mats\n- Asking open questions\n- Handing over control\n- Maintaining neutrality\n- Interpreting additional information including both non-verbal and verbal information\n- Matching the top scale to the question or view being explored\n- Presenting the options in an order that maximises the individuals ability to respond by using our model which focuses on concrete to abstract symbols\n- Monitoring language complexity and topic sensitivity\nAll our training courses include hands-on practice and video examples as well as reflection on all these aspects of using Talking Mats\nThe techniques used in Talking Mats accord with best practice guidance in semi –structured interview techniques including:\n- being clear in what you want to find out and using open questions\n- enabling elaboration in whatever form is appropriate\n- planning in advance but in a context that is flexible and can respond to the dynamics of the conversation\n- being cognisant of the influence of the environment\n- taking time to establish engagement and rapport\n- being non-judgemental\n- supportive of periods of silence\n- ensuring there is a summary at the end so that both parties agree on what was said .\nSo whilst Talking Mats may seem simple, it is not simplistic. The listener is creating a space that enables the thinker to think and express themselves. Training gives the listener time to reflect on the components of an effective Talking Mats conversation and identify which ones they are already skilled in and which ones they need to develop further. There are no short cuts to reflective practice training and we know Talking Mats foundation training has impact. Time and time again people who thought they knew about Talking Mats reflect and say things like ‘I got so much more from this training than I expected’ or ‘ I now see I can use Talking Mats for so many different conversations not just ’ I like’ , ‘I don’t like’ ‘or ‘I have been using Talking Mats but now feel much more confident to use it and to make my own submats’\nThis is why we put so much emphasis on training. We have developed our successful “Train the trainer” scheme to ensure that quality is maintained and reflective practice maintained. If Talking Mats is passed by word of mouth then key aspects of the framework are missed and/or misinterpreted which in turn lessens its effectiveness and impact.\nPeople who come on training are often excited, want to tell colleagues and share it with others. Demonstration and sharing is fine, but it is important to be aware of the difference between sharing and training.\nSharing can often be appropriate especially when there is a team of people supporting the person or parents are keen to see how it works. You can show someone how to use a Talking Mat about a specific conversation. We call this a ‘demonstrating model’. It is helpful to give the listener the words to say to go with it. That way you are enabling other colleagues or family members to have an effective but specific conversation only.\nIf they then want to use it for other conversations we would strongly recommend they go on to attend the training. Attending a foundation course will enable them:\n- to get more out of the technique\n- to understand more about their own communication\n- to become creative in their use of Talking Mats whilst still adhering to the research principles\n- to be able to create their own mats or explore a topic in more depth using submats\nSo do you need training to use Talking Mats ? The answer is a resounding yes . Training supports you to be an effective Talking Mats listener and get the most out of this versatile communication framework. So if you have not attended a course check out our course opportunities There are lots of way you can access this training e.g. through the train the trainer network, through core training run frequently in the UK and Australia or through our online course.", "label": "No"}
{"text": "Teaching Gender’s Value\nIf economic historians never paid attention to gender we’d be left with many faulty assumptions. We might believe that free markets were open to all; that the value of commodities could be objectively calculated; or that uncompensated household labor flowed in seamlessly to support technical and financial innovations. Attention to gender upends each of these.\nBut to use this powerful historical tool, students have to dismantle their sense that male and female are obvious and fixed and come to see them as evolving historical processes in the nineteenth century. When I teach the history of capitalism, I show students how to unravel beliefs grounded in gender stereotypes—for example, that laundry is timeless women’s work, or that enslaved men cost more than enslaved women because they were stronger. With a critical approach to some key primary sources, I help them see how culture and economy shaped one another under capitalism.\nTake, for example, the familiar crank-turned cotton gins of the 1790s, which made separating seeds from fuzzy fibers feasible, supporting the spread of slave-grown cotton across the southern United States (Figure 1). Cotton textiles, manufactured in Britain and northern U.S. states, became fashionable and popular as clothing because, more than wool, linen, or silk, they were washable. The technology/slavery/land connections in cotton’s growth are well known. But who was going to wash the newly washable clothing and make those connections worthwhile?\nTo answer that part of the equation, I show students another crank-turned machine that debuted in the 1790s—the “Washing Mill,” and ask them to evaluate how it might explain the expansion of the cotton industry. A trade card promises the ease with which a well-dressed young lady could keep her family’s expanding wardrobe clean (Figure 2). I ask students why the advertisement shows a girl in a flowing dress operating the machinery. They usually answer that laundry was women’s work and this is a labor-saving device for them. Yet, as they can see on this same trade card, the technology was developed for navy ships, where laundry abounded and female hands were scarce.\nI then read a printed newspaper “testimonial” advertising the washing mill, in which a husband reports that thanks to the device, his wife had to hire only a single adolescent girl to handle the washing, rather than the three adult women she usually paid. In other words, laundry was not women’s work, it was work for people under the command of others, whether common sailors or poor neighbor women. In fact, probing further, students can see that in the nineteenth-century United States, white women in the North sought to hire someone else to do the laundry (often black women); simultaneously, white women in the South sought to replace themselves as field laborers (often, again, with black women). Investigating gender connects supply to demand, through changing hierarchical labor arrangements.\nThose same female field laborers, each of whom had a price, offer students ways to understand commodification, another essential part of capitalism. As a number that purported to communicate a person’s value, price was the clearest link between human capital and other forms of capital. The “prime male rate” price was and is a number used to describe a uniform commodity, wrapped around a unique human being through the processes of the slave trade (Figure 3).\nI show students a page from Stephen Fuller’s 1788 report on Jamaica to the British Privy Council’s Committee for Trade and Commerce and ask them whether gender determined a person’s price (Figure 4). As they start to answer, their ideas of a uniform commodity fall away. They ponder the report’s overlapping price ranges for different enslaved people. A female field worker was not always priced lower than a male field worker; a midwife could cost more than a doctor. In trying to connect human skills, human labor, and price, students get a more complex understanding of how work and market intersected to create hierarchies based on sex, skill, or strength in a variety of combinations. \nThen I ask: Why are infants, youths, and the “superannuated” not separated by sex on the rate sheet? Did the sex of an enslaved person influence price only during her reproductive years? These questions lead to a discussion of the connection between childbirth and field work as valued labor when by law the children of slave mothers were slaves for life.\nFinally, we tackle the question: Were enslaved children and enslaved grandparents ungendered? Students intuitively say no, but it takes time to figure out what it means to say gender mattered in lives under slavery. They have to consider how a person’s price might affect her daily life experience, either in terms of the work assigned or the knowledge of being valued differently from others and over a lifetime. But they also have to confront what value meant within different markets and along the edges of them.Students expect to find a few women working within economic history, as machine operators or cotton pickers. But showing them how to really see gender—its changing appearance, its intersection with race and class, its variable value—offers a far more powerful tool to unlock the history of American capitalism.\nStudents expect to find a few women working within economic history, as machine operators or cotton pickers.

{"text": "Understanding Mobile Phone Impact on Livelihoods in Developing Countries: A New Research Framework\nWork data:ISBN: 978-1-905469-17-8\nType of work: Working Paper\nCategories:ICT Infrastructure | ICT4D\nMobile phones are diffusing rapidly in developing countries, but research conceptualisations have been lagging behind practice, particularly those that link mobile phones to livelihoods. This working paper seeks to fill this gap in two ways.\nFirst, by means of a literature review that uses key livelihoods concepts as a template for analysis. It starts by analysing mobile phones according to how they impact upon assets – through facilitating asset substitution, enhancement, combination, exchange and forms of dis-embodiment. The analysis also incorporates an understanding of the intervening structures and processes that intermediate assets through passive diffusion and active innovation of mobile technologies. On this basis key roles for mobile phones are defined within livelihood strategies.\nThe second part of the paper revisits the livelihood framework and suggests a number of adaptations that: a) integrate a broader conception of capitals; b) emphasise underlying information processes within livelihoods analysis; c) interpret forms of intermediation; and d) delineate outputs, outcomes and impacts. Finally, the paper suggests areas of research concerning mobile phones and livelihoods where the revised framework can be applied.\nTaken from Understanding mobiles and livelihoods.\nThe livelihoods approach suggests four potential impacts of mobiles on the assets that underpin all livelihoods:\n- Asset substitution: saving time and costs for journeys, but adding costs for mobile expenditure.\n- Asset enhancement: greater efficiency in use of other assets e.g. for agricultural production or relationship-building.\n- Asset disembodiment: the conversion of assets to digital form e.g. the codification of social contacts, or digitisation of money.\n- Asset exchange/combination: e.g. the exchange of airtime or m-cash.\nThe assets pentagon is made up by: natural capital, human capital, physical capital, financial capital and social capital.", "label": "No"}

Graduates go onto careers in law, politics, entertainment, broadcasting and a range of business careers.”\nMackey said studying social sciences and humanities is vital to gaining a full perception of how the world has changed in order to understand what might happen in the future.\n“Social sciences help us understand how the societies we live in work and function and where they came from,” Mackey said. “…Social sciences really help us understand systems, which are really important. Economic systems that shape the way we live, political systems, systems of social, racial, gender stratification have a huge impact on the way we live.”\nJeffrey Volpintesta, a College of Arts and Sciences junior, said liberal arts degrees are beneficial in that they teach students how to think critically and adapt to a variety of career fields.\n“While you don’t learn a specific set of skills, like say a computer scientist would learn how to code software, a liberal arts major, depending on what it is your studying on the whole, teaches you how to learn and how to adapt,” he said.\nSargent College of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences junior Lindsey Petro said a liberal arts background is not necessary for people like her who are pursuing medical careers.\n“I want to go into something related to the medical field so that’s not really what my education is about,” Petro said. “For someone wanting to go into the medical field, it’s not really useful.

{"text": "In previous articles here at lawneq.com, we have discussed many different ways to rid your garden of pesky insects, rabbits, deer, and groundhogs that love to eat your plants. We’ve discussed how you can modify your garden with certain types of plants that attract good bugs that battle off the bad bugs that threaten plants. We also discuss using ducks to rid your vegetable garden of bad bugs. We describe how to make traps to capture groundhogs that love to burrow through the garden soil attacking the roots of plants and vegetables and we described how to mix special concoctions that can be sprayed on plants to discourage deer and rabbits from chowing down on your flora.\nAnother critter of nature that can help to guard your plants and vegetables against threatening insects are toads and frogs.\nThe Differences Between Toads And Frogs\nAlthough you may look at them as being the same, there are differences between toads and frogs. Yes, both are amphibian, but toads have dry, bumpy skin and spend most of their time on land. In the winter they hibernate in the ground below the frost line.\nOn the other hand, frogs have a moist smooth skin and spend more time in or near water than on land. However, they do venture out on to grassy areas to find food.\nWhat they have it common is that they both feed on pests including bugs, beetles, caterpillars, cutworms, grasshoppers, grubs, slugs, and other critters that threaten your garden. It is said that a single frog can eat more than 100 insects in one night. Using frogs and toads to manage pest problems is certainly better for your plants than chemical or natural pesticides.\nWhat you want to do is modify your garden and the area around it to attract these creatures.\nHow To Attract Toads And Frogs To Your Garden\nIf you have a water feature on your property or one nearby, there are no doubt frogs and toads in the area. We have even discussed how you can create ponds and other water features on your property. If you have a water feature, then that should encourage a pretty nice population of frogs and toads. If you don’t, there are things you can do to attract these critters from ponds or streams nearby.\nFirst, it is essential that you stop using chemicals including pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, and herbicides. These products can poison frogs and toads. Instead of relying on them, switch to organic gardening. Build healthy soil and install companion plants and use crop rotation and organic gardening techniques.\nNext, create shelters for them. They love hiding places where they can keep out of the sun because they are nocturnal and avoiding the sun prevents them from getting dehydrated. They favor damp, shady areas and shelters where they can hide from predators and escape from the heat. Simply arrange some stones into a small cave and partially cover a hole with an upside down clay or ceramic flower pot. Set up the shelters in shady areas of your garden.\nFinally, offer water. Toads and frogs don’t drink through their mouths; they sit in water and absorb it into their bodies. So, locate shallow containers of water in the shade near the shelters. Rinse the containers at least once a week and fill them with fresh water.\nYou may be surprised to learn that just one frog or toad can consume up to 10,000 pests during a gardening season.

{"text": "Talent Development in Gifted Education\nThe Council for Exceptional Children\n1110 N. Glebe Rd.\nArlington, VA 22201-5704\nToll Free: 1.800.328.0272\nERIC EC Digest #E610\nAuthor: John F. Feldhusen\nThe last decades of the twentieth century saw the growth of a large body of research and development around the concept of intelligence. New concepts have facilitated new approaches to identifying and developing giftedness in young people. This digest presents a model for the education of gifted children and youth based on the concept of talent development. Specific ways to identify and develop talent are also discussed.\nNew Conceptions of Intelligence and Talent\nA longstanding tradition in the field of gifted education assumes it is possible and desirable to identify children as “gifted” based on high IQ scores and/or high achievement test scores. Gifted programming developed from a notion of global and fixed intelligence and often resulted in exclusive one-size-fits-all programs of study. Such an approach disregarded the individual strengths and potential of some gifted students.\nIn contrast, the work of Sternberg (1991) and Gardner (1983) led to a diagnostic approach to ability, where specific talents or aptitudes became the focus for identification and services. Sternberg’s theory proposed a number of components of intelligence in three broad categories: metacomponents (planning, monitoring, and evaluation), performance components (skills and abilities), and knowledge-acquisition components (processing and encoding). Gardner’s theory of multiple intelligences (originally linguistic, logical-mathematical, spatial, musical, kinesthetic, interpersonal, and intrapersonal) also elaborated on the view of human abilities as multidimensional.\nGagne’s research (1985, 1993) and model for talent development explicitly set the stage for a focus on talents. He proposed an underlying set of aptitudes or gifts that are intellectual, creative, socio-affective, perceptual-motor, and other unspecified abilities. With these basic abilities the child interacts with catalysts such as teachers or parents and participates in learning, training, and practice experiences. With encouragement and support, a child’s talents emerge from these experiences.\nA Model for Talent Recognition and Development in Schools\nPrograms, curricula, and services for gifted and talented youth can best meet their needs, promote their achievements in life, and contribute to the enhancement of our society when schools identify students’ specific talent strengths and focus educational services on these talents. Schools are in a unique position to identify and develop the talents of students in four major domains: academic, artistic, vocational-technical, and personal-social. The academic domain includes science, math, English, social studies, and languages. Dance, music, drama, photography, and graphic arts comprise the artistic domain. The vocational-technical areas are home economics, trade-industrial, business-office, agriculture, and computers-technology. Finally, in the interpersonal realm, leadership, care-giving, and human services are potential areas in which identification and nurturance of specific talents can be carried out.\nSeveral rating scales and checklists are useful in identifying talents in all four of the domains. These include the ten Scales for Rating the Behavioral Characteristics of Superior Students by Renzulli et al. (1997), the Purdue Academic Rating Scales and Purdue Vocational Rating Scales (Feldhusen, Hoover, & Sayler, 1997). A wide variety of aptitude and achievement tests can be used to identify academic and some of the vocational-technical talents. Auditions are the preferred mode of evaluating talent in the performing arts and portfolios in the graphic arts. Portfolios are also useful in the identification of talents in academic areas when they contain the results of a child’s projects, problem-solving activities, and creative productions.\nHowever, the process of recognizing and developing talents should not be seen as a one-shot, one-time determination with tests and rating scales labeling students as “talented” or “untalented.” Rather, it is a long-range process in which parents, school personnel, and the students themselves recognize, understand, and work together to facilitate the development of the students’ unique talents. As a way of involving students, parents, teachers, and counselors in the recognition and development of student talent, Feldhusen and Wood (1997) presented a system for “growth planning” in which students, grades 3-12, plan in late spring their school programs for the coming year. They inventory and review their own achievements, assess their own interests and learning styles, and write personal goals (academic, career, and social). They then select courses, extracurricular activities, and out-of-school experiences that are commensurate with their prior achievements, reflect the goals they have set for themselves, and are suitably challenging.\nFeldhusen and Wood used the system with several hundred gifted and talented students and found it to be an effective method for involving children and youth in the talent development process. Talented students often could engage in learning activities with little or minimum teacher involvement. Feldhusen reported that the students’ capacity for self-direction in individual and small group work was very high if their teachers provided good instructional material and initial directions. The students grew rapidly in their capacity to carry out self-directed and individualized learning.\nStrategies for Recognizing and Developing Talent\nAll students at all ages have relative talent strengths, and schools should help them identify and understand their own special abilities. Those whose talents are at levels exceptionally higher than their peers should have access to instructional resources and activities that are commensurate with their talents (Feldhusen, 1998). They need a great deal of help and emotional support from parents, extensive educational input and resources from the school, a supportive peer environment, and mentors who can demonstrate and model advanced levels of expertise and creativity in their areas of talent potential (Pleiss & Feldhusen, 1995).\nTeachers and other school personnel can employ the following strategies to help implement this model (Feldhusen, 1996).\n- Be alert to signs of talent in the four talent areas. Point out strengths to the student and parents, and test to verify possible emerging talent.\n- Structure learning activities that will give students the opportunity to demonstrate their talent potential.\n- Use praise to recognize and reinforce signs of talent.\n- Help students who have talent in particular areas set learning goals in that area.\n- Locate resources in the school and community that can help foster the student’s talents.\n- Enlist parents in identifying and nurturing their children’s talents by providing resources and experiences, and encouraging goal-setting behavior.\nThe ultimate goal of talent recognition and development is to help students understand their own talent strengths and potentials, to know how to pursue and engage in the best talent development activities, and to commit themselves to the development of their talents.\nFeldhusen, J.

{"text": "Keller is a suburban city located in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex in Tarrant County, Texas. Keller is a mostly residential area that has 300 acres of developed land dedicated to 11 park sites. Keller is considered the 74th most populated city in Texas, with a recent estimate of 47,213 as of July 2019. In this article, we are going to learn more about the rich history of Keller, Texas\nEstablishment of Keller\nBack in the 1840s, Keller was part of the frontier of Peters Colony settlers because it is located in the western fringe of the Eastern Cross Timbers in northeast Tarrant County. During that time, the area was settled by families from Missouri, which built their homes near the head-waters of Big Bear Creek. In July 1850, Mount Gilead Baptist Church, however, nine years later, the little log church was burned in an Indian raid.\nThe area was once called ‘Double Springs’ because of the two large springs that are located approximately ½ mile north of Mt. Gilead Baptist Church. During the early 1870s, the area had a grist mill, a cotton gin, several stores, and a blacksmith shop. When an artesian well was drilled in Keller in 1896, the Double Springs was filled with silt and eventually were plugged and lost until it was rediscovered in 1984.\nIn 1881, The Texas and Pacific Railway located between Fort Worth and Texarkana was completed, and the first train ran on this track in May 1881. With the arrival of the rail service, businesses and new villages were established all along the line. The Keller we know today was one of those villages. In July 1881, A.C Roberts decided to deed 62 acres of land to a Tarrant County pharmacist named H.W. Black. This land later became a townsite known as Athol. In just a year, settlers began to migrate to the new village, and the town’s name was changed from Athol to Keller, in honor of John C. Keller, a man who worked as a foreman on the railroad.\nThe streets on the townsite still carry the names that were given to them in 1881. Streets going north and south are named Elm, Main, and Lamar, while those running east and west are named Pecan, Vine, Price, Taylor, Bates, Hill, and Olive.\nAs the town develops, new residential sites slowly filled in the open spaces, to the point where Keller’s neighboring towns no longer had the opportunity to expand its boundaries. In 1980 the Census calculated that Keller has a population of 4,555; Today, Keller nearly has 45,000 people call Keller their home.\nThe city has several facilities such as the Keller Public Library, the Municipal Service Center on Bear Creek Parkway West, Keller Town Hall located on Bear Creek Parkway, and the Keller Senior Activities Center situated on Johnson Road. Keller also has an award-winning recreation and aquatic center called The Keller Pointe, which is located on Rufe Snow Drive. They also recently expanded and renovated its police facility, which includes the Regional Animal Adoption Center, a Regional Jail, regional 911 dispatch center, and NETCOM that serves the cities of Colleyville, Keller, Westlake, and Southlake.", "label": "No"}
{"text": "Scientists in South Africa, discovered earlier this week, numerous amounts of fossils. Some were fossilized birds and rats, but the real discovery, was of a previously unknown hominin species called Homo naledi. The discovery was made in the Dinaledi Chamber of the Rising Star cave system, Cradle of Humankind, South Africa. A professor at the University of Witwatersrand, Lee Berger and his team, made the discovery. Paying homage to where the discovery was made, he chose to call the specimen of fossilized bones Homo naledi, ‘naledi’ means ‘star’ in Sotho (also called Sesotho), which is one of the languages spoken in South Africa. What made this find so intriguing, was where they were actually found. Before this discovery, modern humans were the first known species to bury their dead. But after being found deep in a cave, with an underground path, Berger and his team believe this was a burial place for Homo naledi, who had to even use fire to get through the cave. In total at least 15 individuals were unearthed, and include most of the bones in the skeleton. Based on this wide range of specimens from a single site, Berger describes Homo naledi as being similar in size and weight to a small modern human, with human-like hands and feet. Furthermore, while the skull had several unique features, it had a small brain case that was most similar in size to other early hominin species that lived between four million and two million years ago. Homo naledi’s ribcage, shoulders and pelvis also more closely resembled those of earlier hominin species than those of modern humans. More information still needs to be uncovered and there is sure to be challenges from the scientific community, but the fact that this was a huge discovery, is undeniable.\n*All this information was found in the eLife research article.*", "label": "No"}
{"text": "National Register of Historic Places in Alameda County\nThe Alden Branch of the Oakland Free Library, which was renamed the Temescal Branch, was one of four architecturally similar but varied branches built under a 1914 grant to the city of Oakland.\nTemescal was a working class, largely Italian neighborhood, settled by farmers, stonecutters from the nearby quarry and cemetery, and employees of the local Lusk Cannery, Oakland Scavenger Company, and Oakland Traction Company whose carbarn was on 47th Street.\nAn early placard in the library's files appealed to the Italian population:\nLa ALDEN RAMO LIBRERIA. Abbiamo libri in ITALIANO per tutti. Mettete il vostro nome in questo pezzo di carta, e andate alia Libreria potete avere uno libro.\nIn the years after World War I the Oakland schools and libraries were very conscious of their mission of \"Americanization\" to Oakland's large foreign-born population of many nationalities.\nThe neighborhood name Alden came from Solomon Alden, a farmer who settled on 600 acres in this upper Telegraph Avenue area in 1855. The name Temescal, which replaced Alden in popular usage by the end of the century, came from Temescal Creek which runs through the area. Temescal was the Ohlone Indian word for the sweathouses along its banks.\nAdapted from the NRHP nomination.\nThe Alden, Golden Gate and 23rd Avenue branches were all designed by Charles W.

Democracy is about choosing the best tools to make decisions, but also to overcome the most dangerous hazards. Best results usually rely on best designs. That’s why the importance of the democratic design. Participation is a good tool to open constitutional processes to the citizenry.\nWhat is to be expected in a constitutional process?\n- A constitutional text of the maximum quality, representing an actual understanding of democracy, acknowledged by most.\n- An exercise of citizen of empowerment and emancipation, that legitimates the new political system, combining the virtues of direct, deliberative and representative democracy. Deliberation has to be of the most quality and widely participated by everyone.\nThe probability of success depends on the acknowledged need for a change and the coincidence in the methodology to perform that change.\nThere is a global trend that democracy is becoming more direct and participated. And there hardly is a chance for turning back to strictly representative politics. The results, though, vary: participation does not necessarily lead to quality. Design matters.\nSix examples in the world: Iceland, Ireland, Scotland, Ecuador, Bolivia, Chile.\nIreland used a mixed commission on constitutional reforms: citizens chosen at random and some politicians.\nThe process of deliberation delivered great outputs. It smoothed the opposing points of view and contributed to the creation of a consensus on complicated issues. The combination of proposals of constitutional reforms plus a confirming referendum proved to be a good design.\nThere was a constitutional assembly but, before that, there was a pre-constitutional referendum that was binding for the constitutional assembly plus a post-constitutional referendum. The latter was on purpose so that the issue at stake did not block the rest of the reforms, arguably easier to debate and vote.\nThe assembly had to decide not only content, but also methodology, and it ended up being blocked. It would have been a good idea that the methodology had already been set for the assembly to use it for deliberation on content.\nOf course, the existence of the assembly and the parliament presented a major problem of legitimacy.\nThe need that both chambers of the parliament had to approve the final text implied negotiations between the party in office and the opposition, and somewhat denaturalized the whole “citizen” process, which became much less participated.\nA little bit more than 1% of the total population contributed with proposals to the constitutional reform. And this happened without a precise participatory methodology, which made it difficult to advance in the process. This fact was used by the presidency to have a major role in the whole process, again denaturalizing the constitutional participatory process.\nThere was a national citizen forum, chosen by lot, and there was a reporting commission chosen at the elections. But if only citizens, as individuals, write the constitutions, the resulting text is weak and lacks legitimacy. Now the text is seen as a reference document, but cannot be directly put into practice and has thus been set aside.\nThe government appointed a Monitoring Citizen Council. The Self-Scheduled Local Meetings were a decentralitzed way to contribute to the constitutional process, to which 1% of the population participated with their deliberations and debates in up to 8,000 meetings.\nThe resulting proposals were sent to the presidency as the Citizen Basis for the New Constitution.\nThe participative process still has no clear definition on the later stages. So, the process has been initiated without knowing how it will end.\nMost of the deliberation went around democracy itself.\nThere was no constitutional process, because it was due after the referendum of independence and in case Scotland were to leave the United Kingdom. But there was a document written by the Scottish government defining a constitutional convention with a participatory and inclusive citizen process.\nIt is good that a constitutional process has different stages and each one has different designs/logic. Each stage underlines a specific aspect of democracy.\nThe connection between stages is very important. The outputs of a given stage have to feed the following one. There cannot be steps backward in terms of rights or of things learned or even in decisions made.\nInitial participation somehow sets the pace and scope of the whole process. It will be different to begin with a small set of “experts” rather that with a massive grassroots participation.\nChoosing members of commissions at random is generally a good thing for the sake of plurality.\nCommissions can be mixed (citizens and politicians) or not (only citizens, only politicians). In any case, plurality within the commission is a must. Among other things, it contributes to establish links between stages.\nThere is no need to begin with the draft of a constitution. It can be done thus, but there is no need. Supporting documents (reports, etc.) can be handy.\nNot even constitutional elections themselves are needed. There is not even the need to stop all legislative activity during the constitutional process. But the final text of the constitution is usually written at the parliament, in an official commission/assembly (although it can be made up by citizens too or even only citizens).\nJordi Rich: can citizens not only participate, but lead the constitutional process?

{"text": "Public Relations: A Necessary Tool for Advocacy in Gifted Education\nThe Council for Exceptional Children\n1110 N. Glebe Rd.\nArlington, VA 22201-5704\nToll Free: 1.800.328.0272\nERIC EC Digest #E542\nAuthors: Frances A. Karnes and Joan D. Lewis\nPublic relations should be an integral part of advocacy in gifted education. Advocacy is the act of speaking or writing in favor of an issue by providing public recommendation and support. Public relations, on the other hand, are the activities of an organization, institution, or individual that are designed to win the favor of the general public and promote a better understanding of policies and purposes; it involves disseminating information in print and by nonprint media. Without building the knowledge base for understanding the unique needs and educational methods of gifted education, advocacy is likely to meet with limited success. Therefore, building a strong knowledge base among the public is critical. Gifted supporters need to go beyond talking for and among themselves to provide accurate information to other educators and the general public.\nReasons for Public Relations in Gifted Education\nSeveral specialists have provided reasons for public relations in gifted education. Karnes and Riley (1991) stated that gifted children are often misunderstood, the victims of damaging myths and stereotypes. Grika (1986) indicated a widespread misunderstanding of giftedness which can mean public resistance to funding for gifted education. Dettmer (1991) pointed out that public relations for advocacy has taken a subordinate role behind other issues in gifted education. She stated that it is by crisis rather than design that public relations and advocacy are undertaken. Renzulli (1987) cited the lack of a large, dedicated cadre of persons who affiliate and know the need for gifted education as one reason for the limited longevity of gifted programs at the local, state, and national levels. The reasons for public relations for advocacy include: to promote a better understanding of the nature and needs of gifted children and youth, to gain positive support for appropriate programs, to keep all constituent groups informed on key issues, and to build a knowledge base for advocacy (Riley & Karnes, 1993a).\nImportance of Media Coverage\nExamination of national media coverage of gifted education in newspapers found that few news articles supported gifted education (Meadows & Karnes, 1992; Lewis & Karnes, 1995). Newspaper articles for both studies were cited in the NewsBank Electronics Index, a CD-ROM service with access to 500 newspapers from all 50 states. The more recent publication calls attention to the many critical areas in gifted education that are not being adequately addressed. In addition, there was only one listing on the more than 75 Javits programs. Of the many articles published after the U.S. Department of Education issued the National Excellence report in November, 1993, one was indexed in NewsBank. When two or more articles were listed on a topic, such as identification, minority enrollment, or funding, that listing usually indicated an unresolved problem (Lewis & Karnes, 1995). This selective indexing of news articles depicts an incomplete picture of gifted children and their education. It is important for supporters to use newspapers as a means of educating the general public. Lewis and Karnes (1995) offered many suggestions for more effective newspaper coverage to disseminate accurate information about critical issues in gifted education.\nLocal, state, and national magazines provide useful opportunities for public relations. Lewis and Karnes (1997) found that the number of articles on gifted education has dramatically decreased in recent years. However, numbers do not tell the entire story. Articles not written by gifted specialists vary as to their accuracy and support. Clearly this is an opportunity for advocates of gifted education to reach a wide audience. Magazines that have published articles on gifted children in the past include those with a general editorial format or focus on business news, education, news and opinion, parenting, psychology, science, and women (Lewis & Karnes, 1997). Renzulli (1993) wrote, “We [researchers] have been guilty in the gifted field of ‘preaching to the converted,’ and therefore a part of our effort is to reach out to other readerships” (p. 101). If specialists in gifted education were to write just one article for the general press each year, the quantity of accurate information available to the general reading public would increase dramatically. Teacher educators and researchers could write about their specialty areas; teachers could write about activities for parents to do with their gifted children at home or curricular ideas for other teachers (particularly important during the current trend toward inclusive education); and parents could write about their personal experiences that were positive learning opportunities (Lewis & Karnes, 1997). For guidelines, interested parties can contact the periodical’s editor. Care should be taken when selecting a title, subtitle, section heads, and picture captions to ensure that the intended message is unambiguous and does not project an elitist tone (e.g., “Aren’t we smart?”).\nState Level Strategies\nRiley and Karnes (1993b) studied the possible impact of a state gifted organization joining together with other state educational and parenting associations. Of those responding, all expressed a positive interest in gifted education. Almost 370,000 individuals within these state associations could be impacted through presentations at state conferences and news articles in their magazines, journals, and newsletters. Unfortunately, none of the groups had a position statement, committee, or special interest group in gifted education. Networking with other state organizations provides many opportunities to break down barriers between special interest groups and to build the groundwork for mutual trust and support. Another technique to determine support for gifted education is to use a state-wide telephone public opinion survey. The response of a representative, statistical sample of residents in a given state was very positive toward gifted education (Karnes & Riley, 1996). The initial sharing of results could be facilitated through a press conference and newspaper releases. The topic may lend itself to further discussion through radio and television talk shows. Key legislators need to be apprised of the findings to garner support for increased funding. The process of surveying for public opinion and the results of such endeavors could be disseminated at local, state, and national conferences on gifted child education.\nTarget Your Audiences\nEveryone who is interested in working for and with the gifted should know a variety of effective public relations tools. Dettmer (1991) reminded us of the many groups to target both within a district and outside of it. Those individuals within a district include: gifted and talented students; their teachers, parents, and program personnel; regular classroom teachers; school administrators; psychologists and psychometricians; guidance counselors and curriculum specialists; librarians and media consultants; school board members; and special education personnel. Those suggested outside of a district include: legislators, members of state boards of education, and other policy makers; business and professional leaders; community leaders and members; medical personnel; social psychologists; persons having the responsibility for teacher preparation in general and special education; curriculum and textbook consultants; visionaries and futurists; and theorists and researchers. Other groups include members of Congress; members and leaders in religious, humanities, and art associations; interdisciplinary groups and organizations in academic areas; and the general public.\nHow to Get Started\nLocal, state, and national groups will benefit from having an organized approach to public relations and a committee charged to design and implement a written plan. Several crucial decisions must be made as the public relations campaign plan is developed, implemented, and evaluated:\n- What is the purpose of the campaign? That is, what are you trying to make happen or prevent?\n- Who is the target audience, and who in that audience has the power to make changes?\n- What is the best message for that group?\n- What public relations strategies should be employed, based on the resources and expertise available?\nWhen these questions can be answered effectively, then:\n- Decide on a clear goal.\n- Identify objectives and activities to reach your goal.\n- Select appropriate strategies.\n- Determine cost effectiveness.\n- Establish a reasonable timeline with dates for initiation, completion, and person(s) responsible.\n- Develop evaluation criteria so you will know when you have achieved your goal.\n- Get others involved so that you increase your support and communications base.\nAlways remember the knowledge level and sophistication of your target audience in selecting and planning specific strategies.\nStrategies — Nonprint Media\nA variety of public relations strategies can be employed, based on the message to be imparted, the target population, and objectives and resources of the group. Nonprint media could include radio, telephones and answering machines, television, videotapes, videodiscs, and interactive videos. Radio and television include paid advertising, talk show interviews (which involve no costs, except those of transportation), public service announcements, or news reports focused on gifted children, their program activities, or the beneficiaries of some special project. Planned telephone trees or networks allow for quick dissemination of important information. An answering machine with its phone number and time and date(s) of activation can be set up to deliver a short message with the advertised information. Videos, including those produced by students, can be utilized at meetings, malls, fairs, conferences, and on television. Experts can provide a wide array of informative topics suitable for parent meetings and staff development (Karnes & Lewis, 1996).\nStrategies — Print Media\nPrint media include letters, faxes, magazines and journals, newsletters, newspapers, brochures, buttons, post cards, posters, and T-shirts. Some frequently underutilized methods include advertising slugs (postal stamps used on postage meters for mass mailings), billboards, bookmarks, bus placards, electronic signs and commercial message boards, piggyback mailings (information included in another group’s mailings), stickers, and the wire service. Also gaining in popularity is use of the Internet. Gifted education centers; college and university departments of gifted education; local, state, and national organizations; state departments of education; and teachers, administrators, and other school personnel can set up home pages linked to other informative sources on the World Wide Web to provide ready access to a wide range of resources.\nOther forms of public relations include displays and presentations at conferences, meetings, and special events. The latter may take the form of proclamations (for example, a governor announcing gifted education month); ribbon cutting events; recognition ceremonies for supporters, parents, or teachers; conferences; panel discussions; seminars and workshops. Student performances in school and at meetings, conferences, and mall events also afford great opportunities for public relations. Volunteering or being solicited for speaking engagements at business, civic, social, and arts events should bring a better understanding of gifted children to those groups.\nLink Between Public Relations and Advocacy\nSupport for gifted education has always been limited. Advocates for gifted children need to be involved in positive public relations on a continuing basis. In times of educational reform, it is even more essential to build a foundation of general understanding about gifted children and their educational needs. When advocacy becomes necessary, more people in positions of power will be informed, making the advocate’s job easier and more likely to be successful.

{"text": "High Dairy Cow Feed Costs\nHow do I keep dairy cow feed costs down?\nThis is a common question amongst dairy producers. With feed costs representing as much as 60% of total production costs, it is not surprising that most are interested in learning about ways to spend less on feed. Of course, many variables factor into ration costs, including commodity values, market pricing and local availability. Variability, quality and palatability must also always be considered when evaluating diets, and it is critical to base your evaluation on income over feed costs (IOFC) — not just solely on feed costs. Spending a little more on feed costs can actually be more profitable if it means cows are milking better, rebreeding more quickly or are generally healthier. However, there are still several ways in which producers may reduce feed costs and maximize returns.\nWhat steps can I take to reduce dairy cow feed costs?\n- Re-examine your forage quality. Forage plays an important role in every cow's diet. Utilizing lower-digestible forages at higher inclusion rates will reduce milk production but including more high-quality forages can help to maintain rumen health, in addition to improving milk composition and production.\n- Group similar cows together and adjust their diets accordingly. When the same ration is fed to a large group of lactating cows, you may be overfeeding a significant percentage of your animals. Diets are typically formulated to provide sufficient nutrients to the most productive animals, which can result in overfeeding less productive individuals due to inefficient nutrient utilization. Dividing lactating cows into smaller groups and offering them specific feeding rations allows for more precise nutrition, increases income over feed cost and decreases environmental nutrient excretion.\n- Shrink feed losses. Even a seemingly small shrink correction can have a big impact on your bottom line. The first step is identifying where shrink is happening. Whether caused by environmental factors, such as wind, rodents or birds, or other variables, such as spillage or spoilage, shrink is wasteful. Any reduction in feed waste makes a big difference. You can also take steps to minimize shrink by measuring dry matter intake and ensuring that loading accuracy, proper mixing, timing and feed bunk maintenance are taking place.", "label": "No"}
{"text": "Talking Mats to find out which activities children like\nWe are very grateful to Marieke Lindenschot from the Netherlands for this great blog about finding out what activities children like and we look forward to hearing the next stage of her PhD.\nFor my PhD research in the Netherlands I use Talking Mats as a tool for my interviews with children. The children I interview vary in their communication abilities. Some are able to express their opinions and feelings very well, others are not able to communicate orally. As I was able to purchase the Talking Mats cards without text, I wrote down the words in Dutch in ‘children’s language’ on the cards.\nLast week was an exciting week. I conducted the first pilot interviews with a boy of 12 years, a boy of 9 years and a girl of 8 years. They varied in their development. The first interview went great. The child could express which activities he liked, which he disliked and which were ‘so, so’ (in between like and dislike). With Talking Mats he could also tell me with whom he performed the activities and where. It was a fun way to get a lot of information in only 15 minutes! The child and his mother were very enthusiastic. He was able to tell a lot more then he usually does when he is asked about his activities! Unfortunately the other two interviews didn’t produce the same amount of information. The cognitive level of these children seemed too low to use Talking Mats. The boy didn’t understand the top scale ‘like’ and ‘dislike’, whereas the girl didn’t recognize the activities on the cards.\nOverall we were very satisfied with these pilot interviews. The goal was to check if the interview guide with Talking Mats ‘worked’ and also to see for which developmental level this way of interviewing is possible. The pilot interviews gave a lot of information on these two goals. I am looking forward to the next interviews as Talking Mats showed to be a very helpful tool in finding out which activities children like.\nPlease send us any other examples of how you have used Talking Mats.", "label": "No"}
{"text": "New research review provides insights into the continent’s response to climate warming\nScientists from the University of Maryland, the University of Leeds and the University of California, San Diego, have reviewed decades of satellite measurements to reveal how and why Antarctica’s glaciers, ice shelves and sea ice are changing.\nTheir report, published in a special Antarctica-focused issue of the journal Nature on June 14, 2018, explains how ice shelf thinning and collapse have triggered an increase in the continent’s contribution to sea level rise. The researchers also found that, although the total area of sea ice surrounding Antarctica has shown little overall change since the advent of satellite observations, mid-20th century ship-based observations suggest a longer-term decline.\n“Antarctica is way too big to survey from the ground, and we can only truly understand the trends in its ice cover by looking at the continent from space,” said Andrew Shepherd, a professor of Earth observation at the University of Leeds’ School of Earth and Environment and the lead author of the review.\nIn West Antarctica, ice shelves are being eaten away by warm ocean water, and those in the Amundsen and Bellingshausen seas have thinned by as much as 18 percent since the early 1990s. At the Antarctic Peninsula, where air temperatures have risen sharply, ice shelves have collapsed as their surfaces have melted. Altogether, 34,000 square kilometers (more than 13,000 square miles) of ice shelf area has been lost since the 1950s.\nMore than 150 studies have tried to determine how much ice the continent is losing. The biggest changes have occurred in places where ice shelves—the continent’s protective barrier—have either thinned or collapsed.\n“Although breakup of the ice shelves does not contribute directly to sea-level rise—since ice shelves, like sea ice, are already floating—we now know that these breakups have implications for the inland ice,” said Helen Fricker, a professor of glaciology at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego and a co-author of the review. “Without the ice shelf to act as a natural buffer, glaciers can flow faster downstream and out to sea.”\nIn the Amundsen Sea, for example, ice shelf thinning of up to 6 meters (nearly 20 feet) per year has accelerated the advance of the Pine Island and Thwaites glaciers by as much as 1.5 kilometers (nearly 1 mile) per year. These glaciers have the potential to raise sea levels by more than a meter (more than three feet) and are now widely considered to be unstable.\nMeanwhile, satellite observations have provided an increasingly detailed picture of sea ice cover, allowing researchers to map the extent, age, motion and thickness of the ice. The combined effects of climate variability, atmosphere and ocean circulation, and even ice shelf melting have driven regional changes, including reductions in sea ice in the Amundsen and Bellingshausen seas.\n“The waxing and waning of the sea ice controls how much sunlight is reflected back to space, cooling the planet,” said Sinéad Farrell, an associate research scientist at UMD’s Earth System Science Interdisciplinary Center and a co-author of the review. “Regional sea ice loss impacts the temperature and circulation of the ocean, as well as marine productivity.”\nOther findings covered by the research review include:\n- The Antarctic continent is covered by about 15.5 million square kilometers (nearly 6 million square miles) of ice, which has accumulated over thousands of years through snowfall. The weight of new snow compresses the older snow below it to form solid ice.\n- Glaciers flowing down the ice sheet spread under their own weight as they flow toward the ocean and eventually lose contact with the bedrock, forming about 300 floating ice shelves that fringe the continent. These shelves contain about 10 percent—or 1.5 million square kilometers (nearly 600,000 square miles)—of Antarctica’s ice.\n- In the Southern Ocean around Antarctica, sea ice expands and contracts as ocean water freezes and melts throughout the year. The sea ice covers an area of 18.5 million square kilometers (more than 7 million square miles) in winter and grows to about 1 meter (more than 3 feet) thick.\n- It is estimated that there is enough water locked up in Antarctica’s ice sheet to raise global sea levels by more than 50 meters (more than 164 feet).\nNew and improved satellite missions, such as Sentinel-3, the recently launched Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment Follow-On (GRACE-FO) and the eagerly awaited ICESat-2, will continue to give researchers more detailed insights into the disappearance of Antarctic ice.\nThis release was adapted from text provided by the University of Leeds.\nThe research review, “'Trends and connections across the Antarctic cryosphere,” Andrew Shepherd, Helen Fricker and Sinéad Farrell, was published in the June 14, 2018 issue of the journal Nature.\nThis work was supported by the U.K. Natural Environment Research Council's Centre for Polar Observation and Modelling (Award No. cpom300001), NASA (Award No. 80NSSC17K0006), the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (Award No. NA14NES4320003), the European Space Agency’s Climate Change Initiative, and the U.K. Royal Society.

{"text": "The concept of artificial intelligence is nothing new. Since antiquity, philosophers and mathematicians have been discussing “thinking machines”.\nYou can find traces of this idea in many modern and classic stories if you look closely. From Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein to today’s blockbuster Terminator, you can see traces of the idea in many stories.\nThe idea of making it a reality was first realized during World War II. The faculty at Bletchley Park were under pressure to decode the Nazi Enigma Machine. They tried their best to understand logic and math.\nOne person who was highly influential in these parts was one Alan Turing. It was through his and his companion’s efforts that led to the development of theoretical computer science and the formalization of the concepts of algorithm and computation with the Turing machine.\nHis influence on the field of computation was undoubtedly despite his somewhat unfair (an understatement) treatment following the war. He is today widely considered the father of theoretical and artificial intelligence.\nAlthough there were significant advances in artificial intelligence over the years, people have not seen it in use (or misuse) in recent decades.\nAI has been a huge success story in the early years of this decade. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been able to recognize faces and write articles. This is thanks to massive advances in machine learning.\nThese may all seem like positive developments, but the progress of AI is not always positive. Art and graphic design. High-quality criticisms have been received about AI-generated artwork. This has a lot to do with how AI is “taught” in making art which some have likened to stealing and blatant plagiarism.\nFacial recognition is also not received well. Concerns about privacy and security were often cited as the main driving force against the technology. Despite that, facial recognition AI has seen its fair share of use commercially. Facial recognition is a security feature in most smartphones, including the latest models.\nWriting, particularly in content, commerce and copywriting, is one area where AI is accepted. Unlike in the areas above, AI needs more “human touch” to fact check, or at least get the tone of the articles right.\nAs such, artificial intelligence in writing is more of a tool rather than a full-on replacement in this field.\nThis is evident by the fact that there is a growing number of tools and applications that serve as content spinners or article rewriters that are more often embraced than shunned.\nThis might have to do with the fact that most writers consider a lot of AI-generated writing as a translation of what they are thinking in their minds.

WordAi makes it easy to create high-quality content quickly!\nThe WordAI Spintax\nWordAI has what we call a spintax. This tool turns the syntax of content to create unique content. The WordAI spintax takes a block of text and randomly generates different versions of it to create unique articles for SEO purposes.\nIt does this by breaking the text into chunks and then rearranging the chunks in various ways. Each spin creates a new article version, making it easier for search engines to crawl and index the content.

It offers a lot of benefits to marketers and content creators. If used properly and correctly, it will change the way how things are done in a company, blog, or website. These are just a few benefits:\n- Increased Efficiency: The kind of world today is a non-stop race. It’s often about who can find the best new thing. It is also a race to talk about the so-called next great thing.\nContent creators need to create content every day at a rapid pace. WordAI is a great tool for this.\nWordAI allows you to quickly create new content, which saves you time that you can spend on other things. With WordAI, you can spend more time thinking up of new content than working on a single one for a longer.\n- WordAI will produce better quality: WordAI can extract a lot of information from large amounts of documents. Without question, this will result in a larger vocabulary than the average writer. Aside from that, WordAI teaches proper grammar.\nThis will mean that grammar errors will be less frequent than usual.

If you are running a company with just a few writers, you can double their results in a short period of time.\nAs tempting as the benefits of WordAI is, it is important to remember that WordAI is just a tool. It is not a replacement for human writers. WordAI will still need that human touch and intelligence to ensure that WordAI is right on the money for the content it generates. Remember, a tool can only be as effective as its user.\nWhat fields is WordAI most useful in?\nWordAI can be used in many fields including content marketing and SEO, copywriting and blog posts and articles. It also allows for creative writing, research and academic writing. WordAi vs Notion\nWordAI can also be used to generate product descriptions and assist with email automation tasks.\nWordAI in SEO Content\nWordAI, an advanced artificial intelligence technology, can be used for creating unique content for SEO purposes. Natural language processing (NLP), which spins articles to generate multiple versions of the exact same article, helps maximize your content’s reach. Here’s how you can use WordAI for SEO content:\n- Generate Unique Content – WordAI can quickly generate multiple versions of an article with different wordings and phrases, helping to create unique content for SEO purposes. This is extremely useful when creating backlinks and guest posts since it ensures each post has its unique voice.\n- Improve Quality – WordAI also uses NLP to analyze existing articles and adjust them by replacing words or phrases with more relevant ones. This improves the quality of your content, allowing it to rank higher in search engine result pages (SERPs).\n- Speed Up Content Creation – WordAI can help speed up the process of creating SEO content by automatically generating articles based on keywords or topics you provide. This saves time and energy on manually writing out new posts or optimizing existing ones, allowing you to focus more on other aspects of SEO, such as link building or social media optimization.\nWordAI in Copywriting\nCopywriting is now content writing. WordAI’s copywriting capabilities are the same as copywriting. As such, you can also get almost the same benefits as with what WordAI can give you in Search Engine Optimization.\nCopywriting is the process of creating written content that promotes a product, service, or organization. It involves researching and understanding the target audience to create persuasive copy that resonates with them.\nCopywriting can include website copy, blog posts and emails, as well as social media content, brochures and press releases. The goal is to engage readers and help them take action, such as signing up for a service or making a purchase. WordAi vs Notion\nWordAI allows you to easily create one copy by simply rephrasing and rearranging the first copy. This makes formulating multiple articles on one single topic a cinch. It is also a more efficient process overall.\nWith WordAI’s functions, you can finish one article, have that same article spinned into as many times as you can, and then release it as multiple blog posts.\nThis gives you more free time to think up new angles to cover your product. WordAIs allows you to focus on one article and then move on to the next in a shorter time. WordAi vs Notion\nYou also don’t need to worry about the quality of your writing. Heck, you might even be surprised at the result. Your writing may even improve. WordAi’s vast vocabulary might surprise you.\nGrammar is also something you can relax about. Just as with most things, WordAi is taught proper grammar. You don’t have to worry about how the article looks, since it is fully readable and complete according to human standards.\nThat said, checking what WordAi has generated for you is still good practice. While it is tempting to have it do all the work, it is still merely a tool. It can lead to embarrassing situations if you are careless or blase.\nThis could even cause a decrease in the quality and quantity of your writing. This is because AI is not perfect. While it is tempting to believe that everything the WordAI spits out is already usable, there will be times when errors occur.\nThese errors can come in many different types. This could result in the same paragraphs being repeated in different sections. These errors may be grammatical errors. These errors could also be caused by incorrect information or incorrect facts.\nNo matter where it comes from, the fact of the matter is that you should not entirely leave all of your writing in WordAI. To ensure high-quality writing and no errors, you should always check the text it produces. WordAi vs Notion\nWordAI in Blogging\nBlogging has existed for as long as the internet has. Blogging is also a mainstay of online culture. Although most people don’t need to be introduced to blogging, we will provide some definitions.\nThe act of publishing and creating content on an internet blog is called blogging. You can also blog about maintaining or contributing to a blog, and engaging with readers through the comments section.\nBlogs are often about writing about a topic or sharing personal opinions and experiences.\nNow, one thing about blogging is that most often think they are for one-time use, that they are articles that will be published and forgotten. Bloggers are prone to publish a blog, get traffic, and then forget about it.\nMost do not realize that Blogs can also be reused and updated with more relevant information. Blogs that are old and stale can be updated to bring life back to them. This can have many positive outcomes.\nFor one, refreshing an existing blog also means its search ranking will be refreshed. Some pages are lucky enough to have a refreshed blog that can positively impact their SEO.\nApproaching blogs this way eliminates a lot of unneeded time, effort, money, and other resources related to running and researching a blog. This is a better way to create a blog post than starting from scratch. Besides, this blog entry already has a built-in audience.\nFor stale blogs that raked in lots and lots of readers in their heyday, if people have already found it compelling, how much more if it gets updated with newer information?\nSo what do AI and WordAI specifically have to do with this? There are many. WordAI can be used to quickly expand and rewrite content. People often only add a few paragraphs to blogs when they are updated.\nUsing an AI article rewriter like WordAi eliminates the effort and time required to update your old content. This automatically refreshes your content in no time at all with that done. This allows you to focus your efforts on expanding and updating your content. WordAi vs Notion\nIt is possible to include more current and relevant information. If your original post was too short, you can increase the word count. You can use the new section to explore new information or other materials related to that topic.\nWordAI in Creative Writing\nIt might seem like a curse to have AI and creative writing in the same room. But if you think about it, AI programs like WordAI can also be used as a blessing.\nArtificial Intelligence (AI), which is a powerful tool for creative writing, can prove to be a valuable tool. AI can help by analyzing text for patterns and providing structured data, which can then be used to determine a writer’s style and preferences.\nThese data can be used for suggestions about sentence structure and word choices, and to aid in the development of characters and plot structure. Additionally, AI can help automate mundane tasks such as researching topics or finding images that match the tone of a piece of writing. AI is also useful for engaging with readers: using algorithms to analyze user feedback on articles or stories and making recommendations based on these results.\nArtificial intelligence technologies, such as natural language processing (NLP), have potential applications for automatic summarization or storytelling. This allows computers to create stories from large data sets.\nAI offers many possibilities for creative writers, allowing them to work more efficiently, produce higher quality work, and easily access new ideas.\nAll of this may sound good and all, but not all creative writers might feel comfortable doing this. AI is not something that creative writers should ignore. For those who really want a challenge, they can use the AI-generated text as a benchmark that they must surpass.\nThe thing about AI-generated work is that they have a source. This source is built from previously written works that are collated and collected. AI-generated work is therefore predictable.\nThis may not be a problem with marketing or blog posts, but it can be a problem in creative writing.\nThe thing is, for a piece of creative writing to really break the mold or to make a name for itself, it must break the mold that has already been established. WordAi vs Notion\nIt is okay to stick with established tropes. However, it would be boring work if it did not. It takes effort to create something new. Although some people do it better than others in this area, there is no denying that writers will encounter the age-old problem known as writer’s block. WordAi vs Notion\nHow can an AI text rewriter help a creative writer overcome writer’s block? Well, they can use AI to generate text and maybe find inspiration from these generated texts.\nThe generated text can be used by them as a guideline for their story. After all, a story that an AI cannot write is something new and something that is unpredictable by most.\nWordAI in Academic Writing and Research\nWhile most fields have more or less accepted AI writing with trepidation, the field of academic writing and research has a great case in supporting it wholeheartedly. Text generators and AI rewriters work best when accurate information is available. WordAi vs Notion\nIn the field of academic writing, where facts and findings are already a given, AI word generators can become the best that they can be as tools to express the findings.\nAI rewriters like WordAi can help academia by re-phrasing difficult or lengthy passages in research papers, simplifying complex material for easier understanding, and creating unique research summaries into shorter content pieces.\nIt can improve the readability of text, replace colloquial or jargon-laden language with more formal alternatives, as well as identify potential topics that warrant further investigation. WordAi is a time-saving tool that allows researchers to quickly create drafts of their research, which can be further refined or modified through manual review.\nWordAI for Resume Optimization\nYour resume, also known as a curriculum vitae, is what you give prospective employers to help you land a job, a gig or a job. If you want to be accepted for your dream job, it is crucial that your resume is well-written.\nThis is a task that has been growing difficult year by year as there is a lot of competition that enters the job market year by year.\nAs such, ensuring that your resumes are the best for it to be noticed and read by recruiters. WordAI, an AI text generator like WordAI, can help you create a better resume. WordAI can optimize your resume by:\n- Incorporating up-to-date industry keywords into resumes to improve search rankings.\n- Text optimization techniques and natural word processing are used to correct typos and errors.

If you have WordAI available in your hands, then it is only right to use every tool at your disposal. WordAi vs Notion\nWordAi also makes your resume more visible and eye-catching.

{"text": "I’m not talking about the song from Black Eyed Peas here. I’m talking white sugar and white flour. Together, they pack a one-two punch that can damage your kids’ health and your health.\nI recently saw a survey that said 70% of polled six-to-eight-year-olds believe that fast foods are more nutritious than healthy, home-cooked foods. It’s no wonder kids think that way, though. Studies show that ads targeted to kids 12 and under lead them to request and consume high-calorie, low-nutrient products like soft drinks and sodas, sweets, salty snacks and fast food.\nKids sure are buying up and eating this stuff at an alarming rate, too. In fact, these high sugar and flour products add up to more than one-third of our kids’ daily calories. That’s about one full meal (plus a little more) made up solely of junk food!\nKids and teens are even spending their own discretionary money on these unhealthy snacks and drinks. During one particular year, kids aged 7-12 spent $2.3 billion—and teens spent a whopping $58 billion—on unhealthy, high-sugar snack products.\nIt doesn’t stop with our kids, either. About 100 years ago, an average American ate about 63 pounds of sugar a year. Now, the average American consumes about 170 pounds of sugar per year. It all adds up, too, especially when just one 12-ounce can of soda has 10 or more teaspoons of sugar in it.\nSpeaking of soda…did you know that an average male teen drinks 868 cans of soda a year? That’s 540 cups of sugar—and that doesn’t even include the other types of sugary junk foods our kids and teens eat.\nThe truth is that we’re not made to put that kind of stuff, particularly the evil twins of white sugar and white flour, in our bodies. They cause all sorts of problems, including increased unhealth, accelerated aging, unhealthy weight, as well as immune system, blood sugar, blood fat, blood pressure, mental, bone, heart and cellular unhealth.\nInterestingly, some of these unhealthy effects are immediate, but some effects might not show up until 20 years later. That’s not a bright future. In the meantime, though, our kids are getting fatter and unhealthier by the day.\nThe Centers for Disease Control (CDC) says that the proportion of overweight kids ages 6-11 has more than doubled—and overweight adolescents has tripled—since 1980. It’s a cycle that sets kids up for a lifetime of weight problems and ill health, since statistics indicate that about 80% of overweight teens become obese adults.\nIt doesn’t have to be that way, though. The first step is to lose the boom boom pow effects of white sugar and flour in the diet. Instead, you gotta get get organic veggies and fruits, organic popcorn, raw, organic nuts and seeds, organic yogurt and cheeses—for starters.\nBy the way, black-eyed peas—the food, that is—are pretty good for you, too.", "label": "No"}
{"text": "With all the tension and difficulties in Israel that are very real, it is infuriating that the situation is made even worse by complete fabrications. But it’s nothing new. Though just as sinful as everyone else, the Jewish people have suffered countless attacks based on total lies, demonising them with outrageous accusations throughout history. This is known as “Blood libel”.\nThe concept of the “blood libel” is a phrase full of meaning for the Jewish community. What is the history behind this loaded term, and what should it mean to us today?\nFalsely Accused of Killing Christian Children\nEven though Jewish people are forbidden by God to eat anything with blood in it, the ridiculous story started circulating in the Middle Ages that Jewish people kidnapped Christian children, killed them, and used their blood to make matzah (unleavened bread for the feast of Passover).\nIt all started in the twelfth century in Norwich, England:\n“A boy named William was found dead in the woods outside of town, and a monk, Thomas of Monmouth, accused local Jews of torturing him and murdering him in mockery of the crucifixion of Jesus. Although many townspeople did not believe this claim, a cult venerating the boy eventually sprang up. At this time the myth began to circulate that each year, Jewish leaders around the world met to choose a country and a town from which a Christian would be apprehended and murdered.\n“The blood libel spread throughout the Christian world in the Middle Ages. When a Christian child went missing, it was not uncommon for local Jews to be blamed. Even when there was no evidence that any Jew had anything to do with the missing child, Jews were tortured until they confessed to heinous crimes. Some Christians believed that the four cups of wine that Jews drink at the Passover Seder celebrations were actually blood, or that Jews mixed blood into hamantaschen, sweet pastries eaten on the Jewish holiday of Purim. Others claimed that Jews used Christian blood as a medicine or even as an aphrodisiac. Scholars have documented about 100 blood libels that took place from the twelfth to sixteenth centuries. Many of them resulted in massacres of Jews.”(2)\nDuring medieval times two popes expressly declared such claims to have been fabricated, but nevertheless, these blood libels frequently led to mob violence and pogroms, and have occasionally led to the decimation of entire Jewish communities, according to the ADL.\nBlood Libels in the Twentieth Century\nBut people were primitive and crazy back then in the Medieval era – right? Shockingly, similar incidents have also happened in recent times:\n“In 1913 a Ukrainian Jew named Menahem Mendel Beilis was charged with ritually killing a Christian child whose body was discovered near a local brick factory in Kiev. During a sensational trial, numerous respected Russian intellectuals and scholars testified that Jews attacked Christians and used their blood in obscene rituals. Ultimately Beilis was acquitted of the charges, but not before horrific anti-Semitic claims were repeated and broadcast throughout Russia.\n“A blood libel even occurred in Massena, New York, in 1928. When a four-year-old girl went missing from her home, a rumor spread that local Jews had kidnapped and killed her. Crowds gathered outside Massena’s police station, where the town’s rabbi had been summoned. A state trooper questioned the rabbi, and asked him whether Jews offered human sacrifices or used blood in rituals. The girl was eventually found alive and unharmed.”\n“In 1940, members of the Damascus Jewish community were charged with kidnapping and killing a Christian priest who had disappeared. Several notable Jews from Damascus were tortured to extract confessions, and an angry mob destroyed a synagogue and its torah scrolls. Jews were massacred repeatedly in the Muslim world, partly as a result of this libel, which had been imported from Christian society.(3)\nThen of course there was the whole “Protocols of the Elders of Zion” conspiracy: A plagiarism of a French horror story, twisted to accuse Jewish people of plotting to take over the world. It has been proven to be utterly fictitious, yet is constantly repeated as if it were fact, even till this day.\nFalse Accusations against the State of Israel\nWhile Jewish people have been long accused of killing Christian children in these elaborate fabrications, now Israel’s enemies’ favorite accusation is that they deliberately kill Palestinian children, when military experts have agreed that Israel makes every effort to avoid civilian casualties as much as possible. At one point, Israel was accused of “executing” young Ahmed Mansra “in cold blood” when in fact Ahmed was alive and well, being cared for in an Israeli hospital after having stabbed a 13 year old boy very seriously, and injuring another Jewish man. But by the time the truth comes to light, the media has moved on.\nAnother lie was that Israel deliberately opened dams in the south to flood Gaza with insanitary water, when in fact there are no dams in the south of Israel at all. It was just a lot of rain. But these lies are believed, and young Palestinians grow up reading books in school and watching TV shows about how evil the Jewish people are.\nIt’s not hard to find things that Israel really is getting wrong, and the frustration of the Palestinian people against Israel is understandable, but there are also many outrageous lies told about the Jewish state which people unquestioningly believe.\nThe irony is that many times, the ones pointing the finger are guilty of the very things they are accusing Israel of – whether it’s deliberately targeting civilians, endangering children, wanting to take over the whole of the Middle East, plotting for world domination, wishing to wipe out whole people groups, or desecrating holy places. These things are all true of Islamic terrorists, but not of Israel.\nThese lies are doing great damage, and spurring Palestinian young people on to become murderers and likely end up killed as a result. It is a tragic waste of young lives, and the total opposite of everything that God would have for them, which is to live alongside the Jewish people in peace.\nRemember that the enemy is The Enemy\nWith all of this mess, it’s critical to remember that Israel is the epicenter of spiritual battle. It is vital to keep in mind that the descendents of Ishmael are just as beloved as the descendants of Isaac – both peoples are in deception, and the truth that will set us all free is only found in Yeshua the Messiah. The enemy here is the enemy of our souls, the Father of Lies. Satan hates the Jewish people with a particular passion, and it is no coincidence that they have been subject to these false accusations and blood libels throughout the years by all kinds of people, including Christians. Many of the lies today are coming from the mouths of Islamic extremists, but ultimately they come from the pit. We need to separate out the deceiver from the deceived, and love and pray for all the people in and around Israel – we all need the same salvation.\nJewish people over the centuries have been falsely accused of all kinds of things, from poisoning wells in order to kill entire villages, to world domination enterprises. But at least they are in good company. The Bible is littered with God’s people who found themselves in the same boat:\n- Joseph had to run from Potiphar’s wife, who falsely accused him of rape. He ended up in jail for many years, even though he was innocent.\n- David had to run from Saul, whose jealousy was driving him to consider David his enemy, even though he too was innocent.\n- Mary‘s innocence was not believed, even though God considered her pure enough to choose her to be the mother of Jesus.\n- And of course, Jesus himself, our pure, spotless lamb, was accused of blasphemy and killed.\nLike every people group, the Jewish people are far from being pure and spotless, and there have been grievous incidents carried out by the hands of Israelis, but nonetheless, there is an awful lot of lying and incitement going on. Please pray for lies to be exposed and for truth to keep coming to light.\n(1) http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-12176503 What does ‘blood libel’ mean? 12 January 2011\n(2) http://www.adl.org/Anti_semitism/Blood-Libel.asp What is the blood libel?

{"text": "MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — The first frost of the season goes a long way towards closing the book on summer. So, with a new season coming, we’re already thinking about fall foliage. But, why do leaves change color? Good Question.\n“The shorter days and the cooler temperatures mean the chlorophyll in the leaves breaks down,” said Pete Moe, director of operations for the University of Minnesota’s Arboretum. “That’s the green pigment that actually masks the yellow and orange pigments that are in the leaves all summer.”\nThose golden colors we’re used to seeing are technically always there, but red, is a different story. Once the chlorophyll, the green, is gone, what basically amount to a wall goes up between the leaf and the tree — the flow of nutrients back and forth, stops.\nGood news for red lovers.\n“Sugars build up in the leaves and then if it’s sunny those sugars in the leaves will turn the bright red colors,” Moe said.\nAnd this should be a great year for the reds. In fact, Thursday morning’s near-freeze was a perfect example of that.\n“Chilly nights do help, too. It allows the sugars to build up in the leaves instead of being used up — that increases the red fall colors later on,” Moe said.\nAfter a rainy spring, a relatively dry and sunny summer and a few more chilly nights, you should see fall’s finest in just about three weeks.", "label": "No"}
{"text": "The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore, courtesy of Ars Electronica\nOne of the main characteristics of the industrial age is the concentration of activity under a same roof. In order to realize the full potential of resources that are scarce and to minimize transaction costs, organizations tended to perform as many roles and tasks as possible. That is, a factory would non only weave, but spin, dye, weave, design, cut, sew and distribute.\nWe got used to this. And for the sake of efficiency and efficacy it did make sense.\nA publisher, for instance, would also concentrate several roles and tasks under the generic concept of publishing. Not being exhaustive, these could be:\n- Identifying talent. Who is good at writing.\n- Investing in talent. Providing resources to the one that is good writing so that they write instead of doing some other thing.\n- Improving originals, that is, editing. In two ways. Firstly, improving the quality of writing by providing an external dispassionate look at the work. Secondly, making it more marketable according to the tastes of the potential readers.\n- Prepare the work for a support. If it is going to be printed, prepare a layout for printing.\n- Printing the work (or creating the actual product).\n- Prescribing good works. That is, building a reputation so that your opinion counts and then you’ll recommend the talent you found.\n- Finding or creating a demand. Who will by the book? Where are they? What are their tastes?\n- Distributing the book to the seller near the demand you found.\nThe digital revolution has implied that resources (knowledge intensive resources, like data, information and most kinds of intangible goods) are no more scarce, at least in technical terms (some legal restrictions may apply, but this is a layer put upon the technical one); with the end of scarcity, information costs drop dramatically. And the digital revolution has implied too that communications are almost costless and, thus, transaction costs also drop dramatically.\nThis has led to an increasing process of decentralization — subrogation, outsourcing, off-shoring… there are many names and ways to it — since the late XXth century and whose possibilities are but expanding with new software for creation and social media.\nIf we break up the roles and tasks that publishers usually perform, we can easily find alternate ways to do them in a mostly distributed way. We have changed some names to bring them closely to the actual names of such roles in the market:\n|Finding talent||Social media for content sharing, recommendation sites, virtual communities.|\n|Producing||Crowdfunding, microlending — besides several ways to drastically reducing the need for investment or enable self-production.|\n|Editing||Collaboration tools, comments on social media, ranking and recommendation sites, streaming and content sharing sites (with their analytics), tremendous exposure to others’ works, availability of professional or expert analysis to these others’ works, open courses and MOOCs, open educational resources.|\n|Layout||Crowsourcing platforms, free layouts, self-editing and self-publishing websites, layout and format conversion software.|\n|Printing||(provided there still is a need for printing) print on demand websites or services|\n|Prescribing||Social networking sites (word of mouth), self-publishing websites, experts’ blogs or videoblogs, reputed authors’ personal websites or blogs or social media users.|\n|Marketing||Most of what has been written above counts here, because|\n|Distributing||Personal websites, social networking sites, file sharing services, online retailers, online marketplaces.|\nThat there are alternatives does not necessarily mean that publishing, or publishers, are over. The alternatives may not even catch, the alternatives may live together with traditional publishers, or publishers themselves may abandon traditional ways of working and adopt the alternatives themselves, thus changing the ways without a change in the actors. The idea here is neither to kill anyone nor get rid of them, but just showing some of the many ways that intermediation is being challenged by the numerous possibilities to break up of centralization, the distribution of decision-making and task-execution.\nPublishers — as many other institutions like schools and universities, newspapers, the recording industry or political parties themselves will have to reflect on what are the tasks that they are now performing, what are the alternatives to the centralization of these tasks, what is the task or set of tasks where the institution can add more value — especially in relationship of the alternatives — and whether it makes sense to stick to centralization or move towards specialization.\nFor most of these institutions, especially publishers, guidance on the design is probably the task where more value is added: how to become a better learner (instead of imparting courses), how to understand a piece of news (instead of producing yet more information), how to record a better song (instead of printing more CDs), how to make better decisions (instead of making them for the citizen) — or how to write a better book, despite who will pay for it, raise awareness on it, print it or distribute it.\nDetaching the core task from the rest is difficult: firstly, because it is not easy to know what the core task is, given than for decades or centuries all of them have been mixed and sometimes indistinguishable between them; secondly, because the temptation to control everything is strong. But it is very likely that control is no more an option, and that others will identify your core business and make it their own.\nPS: my gratitude to Borja Adsuara for “forcing” me to write this reflection.

The local historical building had a little information about it. This web page is about the Ukiah latitude observatory (Wiki) part of a half dozen identical observatories all located at the same latitude all around the world.\nOfficial Ukiah Latitude Observatory facebook web page.\nSee Wandering Pole, Wobbling Grid (Reference5\n) for some history.\nThis means that the location observatories in relation to the spin axis of the Earth are also changing. The next year a handful of observatories measured their latitude for a year and found a variation. As would be expected observatories close in longitude would have the same latitude variation (top 3 plots) and an observatory on the opposite side of the Earth would be out of phase (bottom plot).\nRef: On the contribution of the Geodetic Institute Potsdam to the International Latitude Service, Joachim Höpfner, Paper presented on the occasion of the centennial of the first observations of the International Latitude Service in 1999\nNote that one division on the vertical axis is 0.1 arc seconds and the total variation over a year is about 0.5 arc seconds.\nEven today it's far from a trivial exercise to measure angles this small. The GPS in a cell phone can not do this yet (2015).\nThe book Longitude by Dava Sobel describes the 40 year effort (1730 - 1770) that John Harrison (wiki) went through to develop the marine chronometer (Wiki). There's also a movie based on the book called Longitude. What Harrison accomplished is fantastic both in terms of a marine chronometer but also in terms of horology (Wiki). For example he was the inventor of the temperature compensated pendulum (Wiki). But once accurate balance wheel clocks or better quartz clocks or GPS navigation receivers are available the problem of finding the longitude goes away.The movement of the North pole caused by the wobble of the Earth was a much larger problem that took longer to solve than the longitude problem. Many astronomical observations can not be made without a knowledge where the North pole is located (i.e. where the spin axis of the Earth is pointing in space). The Latitude Observatories operated for almost a century. It's only been very recently that a connection with El Nino and the wobble has been found. The problem with the wobble is that it's not predictable as of 2007.\nAlfred L. Loomis (wiki) got half a dozen of the Shortt precision pendulum clocks (Wiki) and discovered that they were effected by the Moon's gravity and was the first to publish this limitation of pendulum clocks (Wiki) in 1931. The book Tuxedo Park by Jennet Conant has details of that. Some details of the Moon and Sun gravity tides is on TVB's web page Lunar/Solar Tides and Pendulum Clocks. Also see Earth Tides and Lunar Ranging.\nOne of the first indications that \"Continental Drift\" (Wiki) existed was the form archeology (Wiki) in relation to Fossil Distribution (Hyper Physics). This evolved into tectonic plate motion.\nI've tried to compile some information on who the astronomers have been here in Ukiah.\n||1899 to 1903||Frank Schlesinger (Wiki)\n||1903 to 907||Sidney D.

I know of no other case in which the doctorate (1907) was conferred before the dissertation had been completed. Just how Maddrill convinced William Wallace Campbell and the graduate dean at Berkeley to enter into such an arrangement is unclear. In any case, Maddrill assumed the post of director of the Ukiah International Latitude Observatory with a Ph.D. but still had to complete the dissertation in astronomical spectroscopy. Campbell continually put pressure on Maddrill, who responded with excuses that included physical and mental illness as well as the distraction of a failed love affair. Maddrill apparently made little progress and in 1912 left Ukiah for Berkeley where he hoped to complete his theses. It is not clear whether this was ever done. At all events, Maddrill's astromonical career came to an end and he disappeared from view.\"\n|4||1912 to 1922\n||U. F. Meyer\n||1922 to 1946\n||Leonard F.

A rule of thumb is that one arc second of angle change along a line of constant longitude (i.e. changes in latitude) is about 100 feet, then the total magnitude of the wobble is about 0.3 arc seconds. It would be good to measure at least to 10% of the thing being measured or better 1% so the accuracy of the final measurement should be on the order of 0.03 or better 0.003 arc seconds. If many measurements are made and then averaged the improvement goes as the square root of the number of readings. Until I learn more about how the measurements were post processed it's hard to say how good an individual measurement needs to be.\nTo check plate tectonics in say 1965 there would be 66 years of data. If observatories were moving 2 inches per year then in 66 years there would be a change of about 132 inches or 11 feet. Since 11 feet is in the same order of magnitude as 30 feet plate motion should be detected and it's direction determined. This would require that the observed transit times be converted into Lat and Lon.\nUnpacking (UP Fig) figures in order taken.

In the\ncase of a pendulum clock the rate can easily be set to sidereal\nby moving the pendulum up from it's normal position. The\nrate can be checked by noting that when a given star crosses the\nlocal meridian should be the same sidereal time every\nnight. The location of a star (Wiki)\nis specified by it's Right ascension (Wiki: RA)\nand Declination (Wiki).\nThe RA can be specified as an angle between 0 and 360 degrees,\nor as hours: minutes: seconds of sidereal time.\nSo the astronomers can regulate the rate of their clock by\nchecking what time each known star crossed the local meridian,\nbut also can set their clock because the right ascension of all\nthe stars they are looking at is known and\n|Clk Fig 1 Face\nTime shown: 19 hours (bottom hand), 12 minutes (long hand\noff right side), 36 seconds (top hand).\n|Clk Fig 3 Clock was shipped with pendulum\nMight have been better to remove it for shipping.\nan example of damage done by pendulum.\nTwo holes at left and right just above top of dial used to\nanchor clock to wall.\n|Clk Fig 5 The arm that couples the pendulum\nto the escapement\nappears to be bent.\n|Clk Fig 6 Key still in shipping wrap.\n||Fig 7 Clock on Wall\nPendulum has: main adjustable bob,\nsmaller adjustable lower bob,\nWeight shelf near top with up/down adjustment.\nCage at bottom locks pendulum at center.\nExactly North of the zenith telescope are a pair of targets. They are sitting on a masonry pier that's about three feet on a side and four feet tall. The masonry is surrounded with a sheet metal box with a hole for each of the targets, a vertical slit between the targets (reason unknown) and a vent hole at the top which would be necessary for the carbide lantern which was the first light source, but not needed when they switched to an electric lamp.\nThe purpose of the targets is to zero the azimuth (North) direction.

Wiley & Sons 932 pgs.\nBy this method the latitude is determined by observing with a micrometer the difference between the nearly equal zenith distances of two stars which pass the meridian within a few minutes of each other, one north and the other south of the zenith. The Zenith telescope is set to the proper zenith distance for the first star with the bubbles of the delicate level, which is attached to the telescope, adjusted and read. After the star has been observed, the telescope is reversed on its vertical axis without altering the position of the level. The telescope can now be adjusted to point to the same zenith distance as used for the first star. Since the stations have nearly the same latitude, the same stars can be used at each, thus assuring homogeneous results.\nFrom Popular Science Monthly, Vol LXXV, No. 5, Nov 1909.\nΦ = ½(δn + δs) + ½(mn - ms)*R + ½(ln + ls) +½(rn - rs)\nsubscript s means to the south, and n to the north\nΦ = latitude\nδ = measured star declination from vertical circle\nm = micrometer measurement\nR = micrometer to angle conversion factor\nl = reading of vertical circle levels\nr = refraction correction as a function of telescope zenith distance\nIf the two stars are at exactly the same declination δ and the instrument is reversed without disturbing the pointing, then the m, l and r terms become zero and the latitude becomes δ star zenith angle.\nNote the declination (Wiki) of a star is measured the same way as latitude. So for an observer on the equator looking at a star with zero degrees declination would look straight up, zenith angle of zero.\nFor an observer at 39 degrees North a star with a declination of 39 N would be straight up.\nNeed to determine how the vertical circle is calibrated. Is straight up zero or can it be set to 39:08?\nIn the same Popular Science article referenced above on the equation there is a discussion about the impact of weather and incomplete measurements.\nHistorically, averaged over all the observatories, on 46.5% of the nights there is good weather. The odds of all six observatories to have good weather on the same night is about one in a hundred.\nWhen making a measurement on a given star if a mistake is made you can not turn back the sky and make the measurement again, it's a missed measurement.\nAlthough Ukiah averaged about 60% of all possible measurements the other observatories were not that good and they averaged about 50%.\nSo the odds of measuring all the stars at all stations on the same might are about 1/4096. Estimated once every 20 years.\nTwelve groups of stars (I to XII), each containing eight pairs total. Six latitude pairs not more than 24 degrees from the zenith and two refraction pairs about sixty degrees from the zenith were selected for observation. Eight pairs per group total. Each star in a latitude pair is within 16 minutes of arc and the refraction pairs are within 5 minutes of arc [Ref ASoP1899]. So the filar micrometer may have a range of plus and minus 20 minutes of arc?\nThe brightness (astronomical magnitude (Wiki, my magnitude web page) ranges from 4.0 to 7.4.

The filar micrometer increases the angular resolution maybe 100 times to 0.1 arc seconds.\nIn order to mark a ruler or protractor with divisions that are accurate some type of mechanism is needed to eliminate errors caused by variations caused by humans. Jesse Ramsden (Wiki) developed a dividing engine 45\" in diameter with 2,160 teeth (6* 360) on it's circumference. In order to do that he also invented a screw cutting lathe using change gears custom made to the pitch needed. Note: A screw with notches filed into it was used to cut the big wheel. Then the big wheel was measured and corrected and then tested. Over a number of cycles of cutting and measuring the quality of the dividing engine was improved.\nNote that the problem was getting a precise division of the circle that then could be used to mark other circles.\nThe photo at left is from the Annual Report of the Board of Regents of the Smithsonian Institution, July 1890.\nIt was in 1890 that the Ramsden dividing engine was donated to the Smithsonian.\nThe first 45\" Ramsden dividing engine was made in 1775 and was capable of dividing to 1/2 minute (30 seconds) of arc.\nAs part of his award from the commissioners of longitude he made public his design not only for the dividing engine but also for the screw cutting lathe that was needed to make the dividing engine.\nA Ramsden engine was used to improve the 8 foot radius scale on Halley’s 8-foot (radius) Iron Mural Quadrant at Greenwich.\nThat web page shows a lot of similarity with the latitude observatories.\nAs time went on the diameter of the circle needed to get a specified accuracy (say 1 arc minute for the 45\" Ramsden engine, or 1 arc second for the 5\" Wild T2 theodolite) has decreased with time.\nBut I still need to examine the dividing on the vertical circle of the zenith telescope to see how precisely it can be read.

Winlock\nIn another article in the same 1890 report titled: Progress of Astronomy by William C. Winlock there's information about the Earth's latitude:\n\"The EARTH-Variat'ion of latitude.-The subject of the change of terrestrial latitudes, to which allusion has been made in previous reports, continues to receive considerable attention from astronomers and geographers. The following results have been obtained by Dr. Kiistner, in continuation of his former researches, from 7 pairs of stars at three different times of the year:\nwhere dA represents the correction to the assumed constant of aberration. The direct inference from these figures is that in 7 months the latitude of Berlin decreased 0\".44. Polkowa showed about the same time a similar change:\nEpoch. Latitude of Berlin. 1884.32\n+520 30' 16\". 73-0.82dA 1884.70 16.96\"+0.83dA\na decrease of 0\".33 from 1884.70 to 1885.31.\nLatitude of Polkowa\nThe general agreement of these results certainly calls for further investigation; and to test the matter Mr. Preston has been sent out by the U. S. Coast Survey, and Dr. Marcuse by the International Geodetic Commission, to Honolulu, which is at the opposite end of the earth's diameter from Berlin, and by simultaneous observations at these two stations it is hoped the question will be settled.\nIt is quite possible that the origin of the apparent change at Berlin in 1884-1885 is meteorological, a view to which Dr. Foerster inclined in bringing' the matter before the Association Geodesique in 1888. The whole question is, then, whether there are changes in the disposition of atmospheric strata sufficient to account for the facts observed, or the axis of rotation and the axis of inertia of the earth are not sensibly coincident.\nA complete resume of the subject is given by M. Tisserand in the Bulletin Astronomique for 8eptember, 1890.\nMr. Ricco has experimented with a somewhat novel demonstration of the rotundity of the earth. At the observatory of Palermo, which is situated at a distance of 1-1/4 miles from the Mediterranean and 236 feet above sea level, a great number of photographs of the sun reflected from the surface of the water have been taken a few minutes after rising or before setting, and they show that the diameter in the plane of reflection is less in the reflected image than in the direct. This deformation is due to the fact that the surface of the water forms a cylindrical mirror, with axis horizontal and normal to the plane of reflection. The amount of the observed flattening accords well with that demanded by theory.\nA back of the envelope calculation.\nVertical circle is about 9\" diameter, 28-1/4\" circumference.\nThere are small divisions every 10 minutes.\nThere are 21,600 (360 * 60) minutes in a circle, or\n2,160 each 10' small divisions.\n28-1/4\" / 2,160 = 0.013\" between small divisions.\nVernier scale (Wiki)\nI think the length of the vernier scale is 10 degrees on the circle or 60 small (10 arc minute) divisions, or 600 arc minutes long. But a vernier scale divides the smallest division by the number of of divisions on the vernier so in this case 10 arc minutes (600 arc seconds) are divided into 60 parts or 10 arc seconds per division on the vernier.\nThe key idea is that a vernier divides the smallest division on the circle by the number of divisions on the vernier.\nWhile the commonest vernier has 10 divisions, more can be used, 60 in this case. In the case of a full circle the vernier might be made to cover 1/2 or 3/4 of the circle resulting in much higher resolution, but how accurate would depend on the quality of the dividing engine. Also the more divisions in the vernier the longer it takes to read it.\nThe Dividing Engine in History -\nThis is a modern part of determining the period of the Earth's rotation as well as other astronomy. The idea is to measure the time it takes a pulse of laser light to go from the Earth based observatory to one of the retro reflectors on the Moon and come back.\nIt turns out that, just like the latitude observatory, great care is needed to make precision measurements. In the case of the lunar ranging the Earth's gravity tides that cause the ocean water level to move up and down also cause the bedrock at the top of mountains to move up and down (Wiki).\nThere are a couple of ways to measure the movement of the telescope used to make the lunar distance measurements:\n1) precision GPS - but it also measures all the changes, not just the change due to earth time\n2) a gravity meter, like that GWR that's used for the APOLLO system, allows correcting the telescope position to account for the earth's tide. Love Numbers (Wiki) are a measure of how stiff the Earth is at a given location and allow calculating how much it wall move as gravity changes because of the Sun, Moon, &Etc.\n3449956Apache Point Observatory Lunar Laser-ranging Operation (APOLLO)\nForce measuring instrument,Goodkind John M, Prothero William A, Jun 17, 1969, 73/382.00R, 73/514.18\nSuperconducting bearing for borehole and survey gravimeters,Robert L.

He invented the telescopic sight. He also developed the filar eyepiece where a hair moved by a screw allows measuring the diameter of the image, or refining the angle the telescope was pointing. Note this filar eyepiece is different from the later and improved filar micrometer (Wiki).1666\nPS In an earlier version of this web page I used the term filar eyepiece when I meant filar micrometer, now fixed.\nIsaac Newton (Wiki) writes THE book on modern Optics (Wiki: History, Optics) (my web page on optics) and believes in a corpuscular theory (Wiki), i.e. light is made up of particles.1725\nJames Bradley (Wiki) tried to measure the distance to a star using stellar parallax (Wiki).1775\nNote: At this time there was still debate about whether or not the Sun rotated about the Earth. Heliocentrism (Wiki) was still being questioned and stellar parallax was part of that debate.\nBut the dividing engine had not been invented and he could not make the measurement. But in the process he discovered the aberration of light (Wiki, Wiki).\nTo make the parallax measurement you need to observe a star at two times six months apart (with the Earth on opposite sides of the Sun) to get the longest baseline. The exact two days of the year depend on the location of the star.\nThe annual stellar aberration (Wiki) is given by:\nk = Θ - Φ ~ v/c\nk is the constant of aberration (20″.49552)\nΘ is the arrival angle of the light\nΦ is the declination of the telescope\nv is the speed of the Earth in it's orbit around the Sun (29,780 m/s)\nc is the speed of light (299,792,458 meters/second)\nJesse Ramsden (Wiki) invents the geared screw cutting lathe (Wiki) in order to make a precision screw to match a worm gear for a dividing engine. The 45\" diameter engine has one tooth per minute of angle and a dial on the worm screw (Wiki) probably could be read to 10 seconds of angle.1838\nBy the end of the 18th century angles could be measured using Vernier scales on engine divided circles to 10 seconds of arc. Star positions could be further refined by using a filar micrometer to better than one arc second. Today we can measure fractions of a milli arc second (0.\"0001).\nFriedrich Bessel (Wiki) measures the parallax of 61 Cygni (Wiki: RA 21h 06m 53.9434s, Dec +38° 44′ 57.898″ Note the declination) using a Heliometer (Wiki) which was designed to measure the diameter of the Sun, but also can make precise measurements of angles. Wiki says the Heliometer was better than a filar micrometer (Wiki) in handling atmospheric turbulence (Wiki), I don't understand why. Note the the \"seeing\" gets worse as the size of the telescope objective gets larger, so for telescopes under 6 inches seeing is not much of a factor, but for scopes over one foot diameter it's a real factor, so for Astrometry (Wiki) you don't want large diameter telescopes. Hence the 4\" objective diameter of the Latitude Observatory telescopes.1845\nJames Clark Maxwell (Wiki) publishes his equations (Wiki) that describe electromagnetic radiation and treat light as a wave. The speed of light can be calculated from the permittivity (Wiki) and Permeability (Wiki) of the medium the light is traveling through. Since both these numbers were known for a vacuum the speed of light was calculated and checked against the then known value and it matched.1887\nBut there was a debate about the nature of light, was it a particle or a wave and there were experiments that gave both answers.\nThe Michelson–Morley experiment (Wiki) is published. They were trying to measure the speed of light in the aether (Wiki) but failed. They published their negative result (this takes a lot of guts to stand up and say you were wrong, even today).\nGetting the constant of aberration to better than an arc second was critical. Also note the use of observatories at 35o 16' north and south to measure zenith distances. Note this is tied up with measuring the speed of light. It was not yet clear if light was a wave or particle. [Ref 3]\nDr. Kiistner reports a problem in that the latitude of his observatory is changing.

Annual Report of the Board of Regents of the Smithsonian Institution, July 1894 - contains a number of inetesting articles\n\"As late as 1872, Le Verrier thought that a new measurement of tbe velocity of light by Fizeau very important in tbe interest of astronomy; and in 1871, Cornu wrote that tbe parallllx of the sun, and hence the size of the earth's orbit, were not yet known with the desirable precision. In 1875, Villarceau made a communication to the Paris Academy on the theory of aberration. He says that the parallax of tbe sun by astronomical measurement is 8\".86. Foucault's velocity of light combined with Struve's aberration makes the sun's parallax 8\".86. Cornu's velocity of light gives the same result only when it is combined with Bradley's aberration, which differs from that of Struve by 0\".20. Villarceau thinks that there is an uncertainty about the value of aberration on account of the motion of the solar system. 'In 1883, M. O. Struve discussed seven series of observations made by his father, Nyren, and others, with various instruments and by different methods, at the Observatory of Pulkowa. He was certain that the mean result for the value of aberration was 20\".492, with a probable error of less than 1/100 of a second. This aberration, combined with the velocity of light as deduced from the experiments of Cornu aud Michelson, made the parallax of the sun 8\".784; differing from the most exact results of the geometric method by only a few hundredths of a second. Villarceau proposed to get the solar motion by aberration; selecting two places on the earth in latitude 35o 16' north and south, and after the example of Struve, observing the zenith distances of stars near the zenith. The tangents of these latitudes are ± 1/SQRT(2) so tbat they contain the best stations for obtaining the constant of aberration, and the three components of the motion of translation of the solar system.\"\nThe article on pg 749 Geographical Latitude by Walter B.

Dr. Kiistner undertook some observations for the trial of a new method for the determination of the constant of aberration. On reducing his observations he obtained resnlts which were not at all satisfactory. A careful examination of his work led him to make the announcement that the unsatisfactory valne for the aberration constant was due to a comparatively rapid, though very small, change in the latitude of the Berlin Observatory-\" that from Augnst to November, 1884, the latitude of Berlin had been from 0.2\" to 0.3\" greater than from March to May in 1884 and 1885.\"\n\"The lecturer threw on the screen illustrations of several forms of zenith telescopes, and described the new form made by Wanschaft; of Berlin.\"\nA history of the latitude observatories along with a number of the people involved (and their portraits).\nFlickr - survey marker photos -\nNational Parks Service - Astronomy and Astrophysics - Gaithersburg Latitude Observatory -\nNOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) -\nGaithersburg International Lattitude Observatory - Wendy Woodland\nMartin Bradley - The person most responsible for saving the observatory - photo sequence of THE oak tree with star background - Telescope used in Ukiah -\nPaul K - Photos taken during 30 May 2009 tour of buildings.\nCalifornia's First Observatories.

Later the stations at Cincinnati dropped from the service and Tchardjui was replaced by Kitab.

The children mental health is very important through their life in order to lead a happy and successful life. We the parents are very much responsible for your child brain development. And the food plays a vital role in overall development of your child and not only the genes.\nThe years at early stage are critical for brain development, and what they eat affects focus and cognitive skills.\nThe following foods can help children’s brains stay active all day long and stimulate their brain development.\nEggs are a great source of protein. Egg yolk is rich in choline, which helps boost memory power.\nYou can give egg in any form like hard boiled eggs or omlette or scrambled egg. Everytime you give change the form because some kids get bored.\nEgg rice for kids\nMuttai dosai / egg dosa\nMixed veg omelette\n2. Whole grains\nWhole grains such as rice, whole wheat and millets are rich sources of glucose. They are ideal foods for brain health as the brain needs a regular supply of glucose. Whole grains also contain vitamin-B complex, an essential nutrient for a healthy nervous system.\nGiving whole grains as a snack to school is a good idea as it keeps them full for longer. Any kind of Sundal is good and it has lot of health benefits. But some picky eaters totally avoid eating any kind of Sundal or millets for them you have to think out of box. Giving the good things in a modified way would be beneficial.

These fatty acids are essential for brain growth and functioning, especially during exams. Giving omega-3-rich foods for children is good for brain functionality. “The more omega-3s we can get to the brain, the better it will function and the better kids will be able to focus.”\nVanjaram Fish fry\nVanjaram Fish kuzhambu\nMathi meen kuzhambu\nSankara meen kuzhambu\nOats provide excellent energy which serve as fuel for the brain in the morning. Having oats for breakfast keeps the child’s brain energetic throughout the forenoon session at school. Being a good source of vitamin E, B-vitamins, potassium and zinc, oats helps the body and brain to function at full capacity.\nOatmeal also helps keep the arteries of the heart and brain clear. Include it in your breakfast or dinner once in a while if you are bored eating always.\n6. Nuts and seeds\nNuts and seeds are packed with protein, essential fatty acids, vitamins and minerals. Nuts improve brain functioning and keep your child’s nervous system healthy. Beans are excellent sources of protein, complex carbohydrates, fibre, vitamins, minerals and omega-3 fatty acids. Having beans during lunch keeps a child’s energy and mental capacity at its peak all afternoon.\nSesame seeds ball\nWheat almond ladoo\n7. Apples and plums\nIt is a good practice to pack fruits such as apples, plums and berries in children’s lunch and snack boxes. Memory-boosting foods like apples and plums contain quercetin, an antioxidant that fights decline in mental skills.\n8. Milk and dairy foods\nDairy foods are generous sources of protein and B-vitamins, which are essential for the growth of brain tissue and neurotransmitters, and for the secretion of enzymes.\nThey are also rich in vitamin D, which is important for the maintenance of the neuromuscular system and the overall life cycle of human cells.\nMy daughter doesn’t like to drink plain milk so I give it in a kheer varieties.\nSheer kurma with milk and dry fruits\nMeat is not only rich in protein, but also a good source of calcium. Red meat by itself is a good source of iron, which is a great food for memory.\nFor vegetarians, black beans and soya beans are good sources of iron.\n10. Dark Chocolate\nAre you craving a luscious way to keep your brain at its best? Reach for some dark chocolate. A study published in the Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews journal found that dark chocolate is a superfood due to its high levels of flavanols. These are special compounds that have been shown to help improve blood flow to the brain, which can increase cognitive function and memory. Another reason to feel good about enjoying dark chocolate is because it has an abundance of polyphenols. These are unique phytochemicals that have been shown to help reduce depression and anxiety. Just remember to choose dark chocolate with at least 70% cacao and try to indulge in no more than two squares a day. So now when you have some dark chocolate, remember that you’re also giving your brain a sweet treat.\nSource : www.parentcircle.com", "label": "No"}

{"text": "Over the past few months, Steve McQueen’s film 12 Years a Slave has reinvigorated a public conversation about the history of slavery in the United States. The film is probably the best cinematic representation of the complexity and brutality embedded in the North American slave system. The film recounts the real-life experiences of Solomon Northrup, a free Black man kidnapped into slavery for 12 years in 1841. Prior to the film, many, if not most, Americans were unaware of the abduction of free African Americans in the North. However, the kidnapping of free Blacks happened regularly enough that it posed a significant threat to the security of free Black communities, including ones in the South. According to Carol Wilson, free Blacks living in Pennsylvania, and Delaware, states bordering Maryland, faced the most danger. The proximity of these regions to the Mason-Dixon line facilitated kidnappers’ transportation of their victims to southern farms, plantations and urban centers. 1\nWhile much has been made of the kidnapping of Solomon Northrup, the kidnapping of free Black children occurred more often than the abduction of free Black adults. Children were particularly vulnerable to kidnappers or “man-stealers” as they were easier to take than adults. 2 Children were less likely to have freedom papers on their person. Children also lacked the credibility of adults, even Black ones, and had a more difficult time convincing others of their free status. Children bound out to employers to contribute to the household income were often taken. Instead of releasing children back to their parents at the end of their labor agreement, some employers sold the children into slavery. Employers such as these took advantage of African American families and children made vulnerable because of poverty and their tenuous status as free Blacks. 3\nOnce sold into slavery, children often encountered physical (including sexual) and mental abuse at the hands of owners. Many of the children abducted into slavery grew up as slaves and never knew freedom again or were eventually emancipated as a result of the Civil War. Frankie Hutton has described free Black children as the “ultimate outsiders.” Disportionately orphaned and impoverished, many free Black children’s lives were made exponentially worse as victims of attempted and successful kidnappings. 4\nMcQueen slightly touches on the plight of children in 12 Years a Slave. Solomon meets Randall, the young son of Eliza, a slave woman who had been sold into slavery by her master’s (also her lover) angry daughter, in the slave pen where he is being held in Washington, DC. We see Randall calling for his mother and Solomon whispering harshly to him to be quiet, fearing physical reprisal for both himself and Randall. Although we only see Randall briefly in the film (he is later shown jumping at the behest of a slave dealer to demonstrate his health and vigor to a prospective buyer and then being separated from her mother as she is purchased), he and his sister’s image ask us to critically reflect on the lives of free Black children. The Antebellum Black Press offers one of the best opportunities do this.\nThe early Black Press played a major role in publicizing the kidnappings of free Blacks. It demanded that the United States government take steps to protect free African Americans. The very first Black newspaper, Freedom’s Journal featured and promoted “The Protecting Society of Philadelphia” an organization dedicated to eradicating the kidnapping of free Blacks. 5 Editor of the paper, Mirror of Liberty, David Ruggles served as treasurer as the New York Vigilance Committee, which was also founded for the purpose of fighting kidnapping as well as the detention of fugitive slaves.\nThe Black Press took great pains to publish information about free Black children seized by kidnappers. In doing so, the Black Press revealed just how vulnerable free African American children were in the North before the Civil War.\nThe same year that Solomon was kidnapped from Washington, D.C. an April 16, 1841 issue of the Colored American featured a letter from John Carter who recounted the kidnapping of Francis Jackson, a young boy from Pittsburgh. 6 According to Carter, the young boy was induced to leave with the kidnapper with the promise of attending the races. In an effort to try to locate the boy’s relatives or seek help, Carter gives the boy’s location and the name of the person who he had been sold to in Louisiana.\nNorthern Black newspapers were also concerned with kidnappings that occurred in slave states. Some newspapers like the North Star reported kidnapping stories from articles published in Southern newspapers. A May 4, 1849 issue related the abduction of three children, two boys and one girl from Caroline County, Maryland. 7 Hired out to cut corn stalks, the children’s employer, James T. Wooters kidnapped them and sold them to a slave dealer who carried them to Norfolk, Virginia.\nAnother North Star issue in 1851 documented the pervasiveness of child kidnapping in an excerpt of a letter reprinted from the anti-slavery newspaper, the Pennsylvania Freeman. 8 The letter writer described a “negro market” in Baltimore used to hold and sell free Black children, who by the writer’s account, had been enticed away from Philadelphia by “25 or more young men or rowdies.” Stressing the magnitude of these kidnappings, the writer states, “…from outward appearances here, they take into Slavery more every year than all the Anti-Slavery Societies take from it.”\nTogether these articles demonstrate the central role the antebellum Blak press played in making public the tenuous nature of freedom for all free African Americans. These papers remind us that as long as slavery existed in some measure throughout the United States, no African American could be free, despite the illegality of slavery in the North. Above all Black newspapers reveals the ways free Black communities sought to protect the most vulnerable members of their communities, Black children.\nFor additional information, see:\n- Carol Wilson.

{"text": "Epilepsy is a condition caused by a disturbance in the electrochemical activity of the brain. It is not a specific disease, but a group of symptoms that may be associated with several conditions. The returning seizures are characterized by combinations of psychic, sensory, and motor malfunction and may or may not be accompanied by convulsions or unconsciousness. There are several types of epilepsy, however the most common includes four categories: grand mal, petit mal, focal, and psychomotor seizures.\nCharacteristics and types of epileptic seizures\n- The grand mal seizureis the most severe type of seizure. A grand mal seizure may be preceded by an \"aura\", or sensation of awareness, before the onset of a seizure. The individual loses consciousness and has a severe muscular contraction; then the rigidity of the muscles gives way to a jerking state. The individual may be incontinent during the seizure, salivate excessively and lose bladder control. The individual is usually exhausted after the attack.\n- A petit mal seizureis quick and may last only a few seconds or minutes. The individual will appear to be staring in space and have a vacant look and no attention. Signs may be twitching around the eyes or mouth. The individual does lose consciousness but does not collapse. Children between the ages of 5 and 12 years are often affected by a petit mal seizure.\n- A focal seizureis similar to the grand mal seizure. It is characterized by a loss of body tone and collapse. The individual will remain conscious during the attack, but speech may be impaired.\n- A psychomotor seizureis characterized by purposeful motor and psychic behavior that is irrelevant for the time and setting and is not remembered. Often it is accompanied by hallucinations, which may be labeled as \"bad behavior\".\n- Epilepsy usually will have little effect on an individual's ability to participant in aquatic activity.\n- A swimmer with epilepsy [like any other swimmer] should never swim alone. Use the buddy system.\n- Maintain close supervision during aquatic activity.\n- Have the swimmer avoid holding his/her breath for a lengthy time.\n- Scuba diving and Board diving need to be discussed with a physician.\n- Monitor temperature of water. Hyperthermia is known to trigger seizures.\n- Be cautious in highly competitive or emotional activities.\n- If using outdoor pool, sunglasses or tinted goggles may be useful.\n- Obtain a medical clearance that lists contraindicated activities.\n- Be aware there are certain factors that trigger an onset, including:\n- emotional stress\n- strobe lights\n- excessive caffeine\nLepore, M., Gayle, G.W. & Stevens, S.

{"text": "Jen Ptacek, Kirstin N. Dolick, and Marifran Mattson\nAdvocacy can be defined as the systematic process set in motion by an individual or group of individuals to encourage, support, and empower others surrounding a topic in need of change. Individuals may become an advocacy group in support of an issue, such as health care, civil rights, environment, or labor. Advocacy groups often serve as mediators between vulnerable/underprivileged populations and policymakers or decision-makers. The Health Communication Advocacy Model (HCAM) is a tested advocacy model comprising five phases including assembling the team, formative research, message development, message implementation, and evaluation. HCAM also includes a correction loop allowing for revisions of campaign messages. The HCAM is an adaptable model that offers a perspective in which advocacy groups may be considered a dynamic framework for building successful campaigns. Once the advocacy group is established, members can agree upon goals and responsibilities and craft a position statement. The group can then develop messages to reach the intended target audience(s). Target audiences may include legislators, the population affected by the issue, and media organizations. When crafting messages, care should be taken to ensure messages are stimulating, motivational, culturally consistent, resource contingent, and without barriers. Advocacy groups may use a number of channels to send messages through, such as social media, rallies, press releases, and other media outlets. Overall, advocacy groups must address a variety of needs to effectively reach the target audiences and impact change.\nThe concept of ambiguity tolerance (TA), variously called Uncertainty Avoidance, Ambiguity Avoidance, or Intolerance, can be traced back nearly 70 years. It has been investigated by many different types of researchers from clinical and differential, to neuro- and work psychologists. Each sub-discipline has tended to focus on how their variable relates to beliefs and behaviors in their area of expertise, from religious beliefs to reactions to novel products and situations.\nThe basic concept is that people may be understood on a dimension that refers to their discomfort with, and hence attempts to avoid, ambiguity or uncertainty in many aspects of their lives. There have been many attempts to devise robust and valid measures of this dimension, most of which are highly inter-correlated and require self-reporting. There remains a debate as to whether it is useful having just one or more dimensions/facets of the concept.\nUsing these tests, there have been many correlational studies that have sought to validate the measure by looking at how those high and low on this dimension react to different situations. There have also been some, but many fewer, experimental studies, which have tested very specific hypotheses about how TA is related to information processing and reactions to specific stimuli. There is now a welcomed interest by neuroscientists to explore the concept from their perspective and using their methodologies.\nThese studies have been piecemeal, though most have supported the tested hypotheses. There has been less theoretical development, however, of the concept attempting to explain how these beliefs arise, what sustains them, and how, why, and when they may change. However, the concept has continued to interest researchers from many backgrounds, which attests to its applicability, fecundity, and novelty.\nDani Filc and Nadav Davidovitch\nThe medical encounter is one of the most important channels of communication between the patient and his or her caretaker. Apart from its therapeutic effect, the medical encounter serves to convey information about a symptom or disease; construct a diagnosis and give information about the expected course of a disease (“prognosis”); and discuss treatment plans, including risks and benefits. The centrality of the medical encounter makes ethical considerations fundamental, not only within the clinical context but also within the broader context of health promotion. Furthermore, since the medical encounter is characterized by asymmetry and dependence, it can create problems of abuse of power or subordination. The current dominant liberal bioethical approach tends not to take into account the power relations within the medical encounter, or the social context in which the medical encounter takes place. It is in this sense that a republican egalitarian approach to bioethics can be of use. Instead of traditional bioethics emphasis on the individual and on personal autonomy, a radical egalitarian health rights approach will stress the importance of social structures, and the need for a different institutional framework that works toward making a universal right to health possible. Such an approach also emphasizes the centrality of politics in building adequate institutions and in modifying those social structures that cause inequities in health. These considerations have important consequences on how the medical encounter should be constructed, such as in the case of conveying risk and disclosing medical errors.\nRoxanne L. Parrott\nHealth and risk policymaking focuses on decisions made and actions undertaken to set standards and pass laws to promote healthcare and public health quality, while achieving global health security. Policymakers in governments and institutions deliberate for the purposes of achieving effective and efficient policies, revealing both acceptance and rejection of evidence from health and risk, prevention, and economic sciences, as well as gaps in these domains. Health and risk communicators function implicitly within the boundaries of these decisions and actions, while contributing to prevention science related to strategic messaging and information dissemination. Policymakers face barriers to their efforts residing in the sheer volume of health and risk sciences research; the lack of evidence demonstrating that policies lead to intended outcomes (often, because a policy has not been trialed/implemented); and the absence of economic analyses associated with costs of interventions proposed and undertaken. The precautionary principle (PP) based on adopting caution when evidence is absent, uncertain, or ambiguous regarding possible harm to humans or the environment may function as a guide in some situations. Advocates may draw attention to particular issues in other cases. Policies may be stalled owing to the policy context, including election cycles, legislative and institutional bureaucracies, competing agendas, and fragmented systems of healthcare. Health and risk communicators may collaborate with policymakers and work to translate evidence into useful formats to facilitate the application of evidence to policymaking decisions and actions.\nAmy E. Chadwick\nHope has been defined in primarily two ways, and both have implications for message design within health and risk communication. First, hope has been defined as a way of thinking, or disposition, that affects how people pursue goals. Dispositional hope manifests in beliefs about one’s capacity to initiate and sustain action toward goals (agency) and one’s ability to generate ways to reach those goals. Dispositional hope has been associated with positive physical and mental health outcomes. For example, high-hope women have greater intentions to engage in cancer prevention behaviors than do low-hope women. Numerous studies have associated higher hope with better pain management, and people who are higher in hope have a greater pain tolerance than people lower in hope. Hope is also related to better psychological adjustment.\nMuch of the research on dispositional hope focuses on correlating hope with a variety of positive health and non-health outcomes; however, psychotherapeutic interventions have also been designed to increase dispositional hope. These interventions have shown improvements in health-related outcomes. Although their potential is not yet realized, interventions for developing dispositional hope could improve compliance with medical recommendations, increase adoption of health behaviors, and decrease risk behaviors.\nThe second way that hope has been defined is as a discrete emotion. Discrete emotions are brief, intense, psychological, and evaluative reactions directed at external stimuli (e.g., people, events, or objects). In response to these external stimuli, emotions help individuals adapt to their environment by activating a unique pattern of thoughts (cognitions), physiological changes, subjective feelings, motor expressions, and action (or behavioral) tendencies.\nLazarus’s cognitive-mediational theory has been one of the most influential theories of discrete emotions that includes a definition of hope. Lazarus identifies the core relational theme of hope as “fearing the worst but yearning for better.” Lazarus deems hope to be a problematic emotion because he believes hope contains both positive and negative elements. Despite uncertainty about the exact nature of hope, Lazarus believes that hope is vital to coping with stress. Hope enables people to believe in the possibility of better circumstances and therefore is critical as a coping mechanism against despair. Lazarus does not provide guidance for what a message might need to include to evoke hope.\nDrawing on Lazarus and appraisal theories in general, MacInnis and de Mello suggest tactics that consumer marketing advertisements could use to induce hope. Specifically, the authors focus on turning “impossibility into possibility” and enhancing “yearning.” De Mello and MacInnis also theorize that hope can lead to motivated processing of information resulting in both positive (e.g., coping, well-being, and goal achievement) and negative (e.g., risky behavior, self-deception) outcomes. Unfortunately, the theorizing of de Mello and MacInnis was never empirically tested.\nTo further explore how feelings of hope are created, Prestin examined underdog narratives in entertainment media. Underdog narratives show characters who are attempting to meet a goal despite unfavorable circumstances and odds. These narratives evoke hope and make people more motivated to meet their own personal goals. Although their potential has not been fully explored, underdog narratives may assist individuals in overcoming challenging circumstances, such as battling addiction or developing new health habits. There are numerous mechanisms still to be examined that may explain the effects of underdog narratives beyond their ability to evoke hope.\nRecently, Chadwick defined hope as a future-oriented, discrete emotion that focuses on an opportunity to achieve a desired future outcome. Her definition builds on the work of Lazarus and Roseman and has implications for the design of messages that evoke hope. According to Chadwick, hope is evoked by appraisals of a future outcome as (a) consistent with goals (goal congruence), (b) possible but not certain (possibility), (c) important (importance), and (d) leading to a better future (future expectation). All four of these appraisals combine to create a perception of opportunity and the discrete emotion hope. Hope motivates behavior by focusing one’s thoughts on capitalizing on an opportunity. Chadwick states that hope also involves (a) an approach action tendency that motivates individuals to take, or continue, action to achieve the desired outcome, (b) increased heart rate and skin conductance, (c) an open facial expression, heightened focus, and alert body posture, and (d) a feeling of eager attention.\nChadwick’s definition has clear implications for developing messages that evoke hope. Messages designed to create appraisals of the importance, goal congruence, positive future expectation, and possibility of a future event evoke hope and are called hope appeals. Like other theoretical explications of emotional appeals, a hope appeal has two components: (a) the inducement of hope through the presentation of an opportunity and (b) the presentation of recommended actions to achieve the desired outcome. The recommended actions component includes information designed to (a) increase the receiver’s perception of his or her ability to perform the recommended action (i.e., self-efficacy) and (b) demonstrate the ability of the recommended actions to achieve the desired outcome (i.e., response efficacy).\nEmpirically, scholars have tested the effects of hope and messages that evoke hope. Hope appeals increase attention to messages about climate change and increase mitigation behavioral intention and mitigation behavior. In addition, feelings of hope increase interest in climate change protection and are positively correlated with pro-environmental behaviors and support for climate change policies. Feelings of hope significantly predict interest in climate protection, self-efficacy, interpersonal communication intention, information seeking intention, and behavioral intention. Hope and hopeful narratives have also been associated with greater perceived message effectiveness and more agreement with the message content. After a stressful experience that accelerates heart rate, evoking hope decelerates heart rate and decreases state anxiety. This research provides evidence that messages that evoke hope can counter the psychological and physiological effects of stressful events. In addition, researchers have examined the effects of hope on a variety of health, persuasion, political communication, and marketing outcomes. Preliminary evidence indicates that hope appeals are equally as or more effective than guilt and fear appeals at increasing interpersonal communication intention, self-efficacy, information seeking intention, and behavioral intention. In addition, hope appeals create less reactance (anger) than fear appeals. Together these results indicate that hope and hope appeals have substantial potential to influence health and risk behavior.\nThis article discusses the various ways in which political concerns among government officials, scientists, journalists, and the public influence the production, communication, and reception of scientific knowledge. In so doing, the article covers a wide variety of topics, mainly with a focus on the U.S. context. The article begins by defining key terms under discussion and explaining why science is so susceptible to political influence. The article then proceeds to discuss: the government’s current and historical role as a funder, manager, and consumer of scientific knowledge; how the personal interests and ideologies of scientists can influence their research; the susceptibility of scientific communication to politicization and the concomitant political impact on audiences; the role of the public’s political values, identities, and interests in their understanding of science; and, finally, the role of the public, mainly through interest groups and think tanks, in shaping the production and public discussion of scientific knowledge. While the article’s primary goal is to provide an empirical description of these influences, a secondary, normative, goal is to clarify when political values and interests are or are not appropriate influences on the creation and dissemination of scientific knowledge in a democratic context.\nPaul W. Speer and Leah Marion Roberts\nAgents of change serve as catalysts for stimulating social change, particularly at community and societal levels of analysis. We often think about the characteristics of individuals who act as change agents, such as their capacity to motivate others or their training skills. However, organizations and disciplinary fields can also serve as agents of change. There is an emerging awareness in the fields of public health and community organizing as to how these respective fields can collaborate to leverage their collective insights and skills to become effective agents of change for community health outcomes. Importantly, while public health is concerned with the social determinants that shape health inequities in all communities, community organizing is focused on community issues that residents confront as constraints or problems in their daily lives. There is an inchoate understanding within the fields of public health and community organizing that the social determinants addressed in public health are often the same issues identified and addressed by community organizing groups.\nBoth disciplines work as agents of change through their traditional efforts; however, there is promise in the evolving collaborations between these two fields. Recognition that both fields are addressing the same community phenomena is an important step, but whether collaborations and shared practices become distributed and institutionalized is an open question. Public health possesses research and analytic sophistication capable of identifying different social determinants and the pathways through which such determinants contribute to poor community health outcomes. In contrast, community organizing supplies an understanding of social change that requires the exercise of power through the participation and active engagement by those most directly affected by local issues or social determinants. One tension in this emergent collaborative practice stems from the fact that, at times, these different disciplinary skill sets are at odds. Whereas public health has a deep value of data analysis and expertise, community organizing prioritizes the participation and self-determination of those impacted by community problems. Fundamentally, the tension here is between the value placed on expertise versus the value placed on public participation. Neither value is inherently superior to the other; understanding how these two values can complement one another to address social determinants that shape community health outcomes is critical for realizing the promise of these organizational agents of change.\nAmber K. Worthington\nHealth risk messages may appeal to the responsibility of individuals or members of interdependent dyads for their own or others’ health using many different message strategies. Health messages may also emphasize society’s responsibility for population health outcomes in order to raise support for health policy changes, and these, too, take many different forms. Message designers are inherently interested in whether these appeals to personal, interdependent, and societal responsibility are persuasive. The central question of interest is therefore whether perceptions of responsibility that result from these messages lead to the desired message outcomes. A growing body of empirical research does suggest that there is a direct persuasive effect of perceptions of personal responsibility and interdependent responsibility on health intentions or behaviors, as well as indirect persuasive effects of responsibility on intentions or behaviors via anticipated emotions, specifically regret, guilt, and pride. Research also suggests that perceptions of societal responsibility increase support for public health policy (i.e., the desired message outcome in societal responsibility messages). Important to this area of research is a conceptual definition of responsibility that lends itself toward identifying specific message features that elicit perceptions of responsibility. Specifically, attributions of causation and solution, obligation, and agency are identified as effect-independent message features of responsibility.\nScientific advances, technological development, and changes in risk consciousness have led to stronger demands on society to manage and control various kinds of risks. Risks should be assessed, prevented, controlled, and communicated in order to prevent negative impacts. Risks related to the environment and health are probably some of the most research-dependent examples. It is primarily scientific experts that provide knowledge to authorities, organizations, and citizens about environmental and health risks and thus exert considerable influence on the understanding and management of risk. At the same time, there are actors in society—especially citizen and interest organizations—that question whether risk regulation is reliable and relevant. There are also demands that citizens should have more transparency and control over risk regulation. The current situation is characterized thus by a paradox: Issues relating to environment and health are seen as increasingly expert dependent while citizens simultaneously demand increased influence over them. This development is especially noticeable in the European Union, with its strong emphasis on the rights of citizen and consumers to have access to information about risk and also opportunities to influence their regulation.\nIn response to this situation, risk governance has been put forward. It refers to a body of ideas for how to more responsibly and efficiently deal with complex risks issues, where there are different interests and standpoints about how to regulate them. Fundamental ideas of risk governance are openness, transparency, participation, inclusion, deliberation, and reflexivity; that experts involved should be open to questioning the situation; should not conceal issues of uncertainty and pluralism (that there exist different legitimate understandings, evaluations, and recommendations); and should be receptive to the input and participation of other stakeholders. This means that risk regulation should no longer be organized into three discrete activities: risk assessment, risk management, and risk communication (aiming at a one-way transfer of knowledge from the regulators to the public).\nThe spiral of silence theory provides insight into the ways in which perceptions of public opinion can lead to changes in opinion expression behavior. Conceptualized in a political communication context, the central claim of the theory is that individuals’ fear of social isolation motivates them to continuously evaluate the climate of opinion through both experiences with the media and interpersonal communication. Upon assessment, individuals either find themselves in a situation where their opinion aligns with the majority or minority. Accordingly, those who find their opinion does not align with the dominant opinion are likely to conceal their opinions while those who find their opinion aligns with the majority are more likely to express them.\nEmpirical research testing the spiral of silence theory has predominately focused on measurement of focal variables and methods of empirical testing. Advances have been made in regard to micro-level factors, such as creating universally applicable measures of psychological attributes. However, limited work has explored macro-level factors, such as appropriateness of issues, application to computer-mediated communication environments, and tools used to identify circumstances vulnerable to spiral of silence effects. Nonetheless, the practical value of the spiral of silence theory for health and risk communicators can be utilized by modifying campaign efforts to anticipate and counteract fluxes in public opinion.", "label": "No"}
{"text": "Ongoing El Niño spells disaster for the world’s coral reefs\nCoral reefs have been described as the rainforests of the ocean. Harbouring almost a quarter of the world’s marine fish species, the reefs cover only 0.2% of the area of all the world’s oceans, making them a hotspot for biodiversity1.\nCoral reefs are made of the primordial creature coral polyp, and the hard calcium carbonate skeleton it produces as waste. It has a symbiotic relationship with the microscopic planktonic organism Zooxanthellae that lives inside the coral. The algae is the coral’s main source of nutrients and hence is important for the health of the reef. However, the organism is sensitive to stresses such as changes in sea temperature – as little as a degree Celsius of change can cause bleaching. Coral reef bleaching occurs when Zooxanthellae are expelled from the coral, which eventually turns the colour to white, as they give colour to the reef. This causes the reef to shrink from a lack of nutrients, and eventually die2.\nDuring extreme El Niños, mass coral reef bleaching occurs. Due to climate change, extreme El Niños are set to be twice as frequent, with the current El Niño giving way to the third mass bleaching event ever recorded, as it brings above average temperatures to a large reef bearing area. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Admisistration predicts that 38% of coral reefs will experience bleaching this year, with 5% set to die completely, despite coral reefs being well known for their moderate resilience to bleaching events3.\nThe livelihoods of an estimated 6 million fishermen in 99 reef countries and territories are reliant on coral reefs. With degradation of the coral reefs from bleaching, the reefs can no longer provide coastal protection from wave erosion and tropical storms, which would affect many more people – in fact, the socio-economic impacts of the event would be highly negative for the locals, who rely on the reefs4. To minimise the biodiversity and socio-economic losses, a strategy must be put in place to reduce or eliminate as many stressors as possible. This could be done by implementing a curb on overfishing through no-take zones over vulnerable reefs, for example. With these measures, the chances of reef recovery is maximised, the security of many jobs and the safety of many coastal areas are maintained.5\nEdited by Debbie Nicol\n- Consisting of useful basic facts http://www.defenders.org/coral-reef/basic-facts\n- Bleaching infographic http://oceanservice.noaa.gov/facts/coral_bleach.html\n- El Nino and how much it’ll affect the coral reefs https://www.newscientist.com/article/dn28310-global-coral-bleaching-event-what-you-need-to-know/\n- Socio-economic impact statistics http://coral.org/coral-reefs-101/coral-reef-ecology/coral-reef-biodiversity/\n- Methods to maximise reef resilience http://www.reefresilience.org/coral-reefs/reefs-and-resilience/coral-reefs-coral-reef-resilience/", "label": "No"}
{"text": "By Alan Houser | STC Fellow\nI recently listened to a podcast about jury instructions. These instructions guide the jury in how to properly evaluate testimony and evidence presented during the trial, and how to deliberate to reach a verdict.\nUnfortunately, these instructions are often so full of legal jargon and obscure language that jurors find them confusing, not enlightening. Given the importance of the juror’s task, some jurisdictions are rewriting jury instructions in plain language. The results have been encouraging.\nThe podcast highlighted the importance of clear written communication, in audience-appropriate language, to support readers in performing tasks or successfully using products and services. Mastery at the CPTC Foundation level requires knowledge and understanding of concepts and techniques for developing clear, effective written communication, that also meets requirements for global audiences and translations. This article details some of the principles you must know to achieve the CPTC Foundation certification.\nGuidelines for Writing Plain Sentences\nClear writing starts with clear, plain sentences. Richard Johnson-Sheehan provides eight guidelines for writing plain sentences. I often use these guidelines myself when writing or editing. You can use these guidelines to untangle opaque writing and turn it into plain, clear prose.\n- Make the subject of the sentence what the sentence is about. Readers should be able to identify the subject of the sentence. Opaque prose often hides the subject in an object or subordinate clause.\n- Use the “Doer” as the subject of the sentence. Would a sports writer ever write “The ball was thrown by her?” The actor should generally be the subject of a sentence.\n- Use a verb to express the action, or what the doer is doing.Action verbs form the basis for clear, direct sentences. Sentences based on forms of to be (e.g., is, are, were) are generally more verbose and less clear.\n- Put the subject of the sentence early in the sentence. Don’t defer the subject with lengthy subordinate clauses. Clear, direct sentences will put the subject early in the sentence.\n- Eliminate nominalizations. Nominalizations are verbs turned into nouns, and are especially common in business and technical jargon. For example, decontamination (n) vs. decontaminate (v). Nominalizations result in longer sentences, with weaker verbs than equivalent sentences written with the original verb forms.\nJohnson-Sheehan notes that first drafts are often filled with nominalizations, because we tend to think in terms of people, places, and things (all nouns). But on subsequent drafts, pay attention to nominalizations and convert them to action verbs.\n- Eliminate excessive prepositional phrases. By specifying relationships between objects, prepositional phrases are invaluable in technical communication. However, multiple consecutive prepositional phrases quickly turn plain language into confusion.\nWriters often use too many prepositional phrases, especially when writing highly technical material. Untangle your strings of prepositional phrases to turn ambiguous, confusing prose into clear technical communication.\n- Eliminate redundancy in sentences. Can an item be singularly unique? Can a person be unexpectedly surprised? Can a resource be thoroughly depleted?\nIn each case, the adverbs singularly, unexpectedly, or thoroughly provide no additional or nuanced meaning over the single adjective. It is sufficient to say that an item is unique, a person is surprised, and a resource is depleted.\n- Write sentences that are “breathing length.” How long should a sentence be? A good writer will vary sentence length, although long sentences are more likely to confuse the reader. Johnson-Sheehan recommends that sentences be “breathing length.” If you read a sentence out loud, and need to pause to inhale before you finish the sentence, the sentence may be too long.\nEffective Writing Techniques for Websites\nIf you are writing for a website, plain language is especially critical. Websites bring their own challenges over other publishing formats. Websites present enhancements for our readers (navigation, search, linking) and challenges (constrained screen size, scrolling) compared to print. Johnson-Sheehan recommends the following techniques for website writing:\n- Keep sentences short. While “breathing length” may be a reasonable guideline for sentences in print publications, sentences on websites should be shorter, on average, than sentences written for print publication.\n- Keep paragraphs short. Paragraphs on websites should typically contain only a few sentences, to support readers who scan the website content to find the information they seek.\n- Links should reflect titles. When writing links, be sure the text of the link matches the title of the target page.\n- Create a consistent tone. The tone, or style, of the website should match the content. An e-commerce website should probably use a persuasive style. A medical website might use a plain style when describing symptoms, but use a persuasive style when encouraging readers to see a doctor.\nWebsite Writing for Global Audiences\nBecause a website visitor can come from anywhere on the globe, writers for websites must be especially aware of the needs of a multinational audience. Johnson-Sheehan provides several tips for writing for transcultural readers.\n- Use common words. Slang and business jargon tend to be cultural and meanings can change quickly. Favor common words with stable definitions.\n- Avoid clichés and colloquialisms. Do you think your idea is a home run? Your international readers who are not familiar with baseball may wonder why your idea causes people to run home.\n- Avoid cultural icons. Use symbols, particularly symbols that may have a political or religious significance, sparingly and only when necessary.\n- Minimize humor. Humor is highly cultural and notoriously difficult to translate. Humor in one culture may not be funny, and may even be offensive, in another culture. Use humor with extreme caution.\n- Translate your website. To provide the best possible experience for your international audience members, translate your website into the languages of your target visitors.\nOther Components of the Written Communication Core Competency\nThe CPTC Foundation certification also requires knowledge and understanding of the following additional concepts and techniques for developing clear, effective written communication:\n- Writing effective paragraphs\n- Types of sentences in paragraphs\n- Plain versus persuasive style: characteristics of each; when each is appropriate\n- Techniques for writing plain paragraphs\n- Techniques for writing in a persuasive style\nYou can learn more about each of these areas in the Certified Professional Technical Communicator (CPTC) Study Guide and the Johnson-Sheehan textbook.\nUnreasonable Doubt?

{"text": "Destructive Creativity on the Social Web: Learning through Wikis in Higher Education\nType of work: Book Chapter\nCategories:Education | Social Media & Social Software\nThe use of group oriented software, or groupware, encourages students to generate their own content (McGill et al, 2005) and can foster supportive and dynamic communities of learning (Shaikh & Macauley, 2001). One form of open architecture groupware known as the Wiki is freely available online in several versions, and enables tutors to quickly set up online spaces which can be edited by students, at any time and from any location. Online social spaces of this nature can be used to encourage creative writing and to engage students in critical discourse through focused discussion, but Wikis also have disruptive potential and can cause dissent and disharmony within the group. This chapter aims to highlight some uses of the wiki as a social writing tool, reporting on student perceptions of the limitations and benefits. The chapter also focuses on the tension between creative and destructive uses of wikis and concludes by offering recommendations on the effective use of wikis in mainstream higher education.

{"text": "By: Jackie Kuehl, Kenitra Foote, Justin Ortt & Allison Larson (2017)\nConcordia University- St. Paul\nFaculty Mentor: Dr. Kim Flottemesch\nThe topic of reactive body language and eye contact between strangers is necessary research because it differs from typical face to face relational interactions. Stranger interactions among genders and one’s eye contact are often avoided by most people, whether it’s due to the setting, awkward feelings, or one’s vulnerability. It seems like there is a common communicative trend found in Late Generation Y and Early Generation Z, is avoiding eye contact with strangers when outside of one’s comfort zone (Nemko, 2016). The lack of stranger interaction involving eye contact and its effect on society is considered in this study. The researchers chose to investigate how eye contact between strangers differs in today’s society. Specifically, the researchers explored the effect of eye contact in different settings and compared that with race and gender. Participants of the study hailed from a private, faith-based institution of higher education in an urban area in the Midwestern United States. The study thoroughly addressed the relationship between how one averts their eyes because there is an uncomfortable feeling. The lack of eye contact can show a lack of empathy towards the other person; they may go through their day feeling as if they don’t exist.", "label": "No"}

Without a staple manufacture to sustain its economy, the town was, in the 1680s, considered to be ‘poor’. It was, however, beginning to feel some advantage as a social resort, as the local horse racing inaugurated by the 3rd Lord Lovelace (John†) in the later 1670s grew in popularity with gentry from the surrounding areas. The construction of Blenheim Palace nearby during the two decades after 1705 brought substantial economic benefit, and with it a new affluence. It also radically changed the face of politics in the town, as the Marlboroughs swiftly took over and dominated the parliamentary seats.2\nWoodstock’s corporation and its 200-strong body of freemen invariably deferred to aristocratic influence. One key medium of outside intervention was the high stewardship of the corporation, another the stewardship of the royal manor and park of Woodstock which bounded the town on its western and southern flanks. In 1690 these offices were held by the young Earl of Lichfield by virtue of his marriage to one of Charles II’s natural daughters by Barbara Villiers. Lichfield’s close rival in the borough was Lord Lovelace, whose popularity in the Whig cause had put him out of favour with the Court and had earned his dismissal as steward of Woodstock Park in 1679 in favour of Lichfield. A third interested magnate was the Tory 1st Earl of Abingdon, who had established control over one of the seats during the 1680s. The outcome of the 1690 election in Woodstock was decidedly Whiggish in contrast to the balance struck between the parties in the previous decade, though quite why Abingdon chose not to mount any defence of his Tory interest in the borough as he had done in 1689 is unclear. It is possible that the strength of Whig sentiment among the electorate had for a while overwhelmed the Bertie interest, though it is equally possible that Abingdon’s attentions were elsewhere engaged. Sir Thomas Littleton, 3rd Bt., was returned for a second time alongside a Whig newcomer, Thomas Wheate of nearby Glympton Park. Though not himself an Oxfordshire man, Littleton owed his seat primarily to Sir Littleton Osbaldeston, 1st Bt.†, his kinsman. Osbaldeston’s influence in the borough derived in part from the proximity of his seat, Chadlington, a short distance to the east of the town, but chiefly from his earlier role as overseer of Lichfield’s interests in the town and as his deputy in the stewardship of the manor during the Earl’s minority. Lichfield’s acquiescence in the election of a Whig whose pretensions were unshakeably pro-Court was certainly incongruous in view of his own conduct at the Revolution. He had been one of James II’s last few retainers before the King’s departure for France in December 1688, and subsequently had refused the oaths to William III. By supporting Littleton, however, he may have hoped to make his peace with the new political order without compromising his conscience. Though it is not immediately apparent who instigated Wheate’s candidacy, Lovelace, recently restored to favour, and free once more to champion the Whig cause, was almost certainly involved in the election of both men. The fact that Lovelace had been at the forefront of the Whig interest in Woodstock and subsequently sought to consolidate his position was demonstrated by his brash attempt to ‘seize’ Woodstock Park from Lichfield in the summer. Lovelace no doubt felt that Lichfield’s persistent refusal to pledge loyalty to William III provided a justification for his own intentions of destroying the Earl’s influence. Both he and Hon. Thomas Wharton*, who also had budding electoral pretensions in the borough, had prevailed with the King to begin legal proceedings to divest Lichfield of the park. In mid-July Lovelace moved in, dismissing Lichfield’s agents and keepers, and spent two days ‘ordering affairs’ to his own liking, while at the same time, Wharton was declared ‘lieutenant’ of the park. However, Lichfield’s close royal connexions sprang immediately to his defence. On representations to the Queen from Lichfield’s brother-in-law, the 1st Duke of Grafton, Lovelace was commanded to leave the park. Lichfield’s chief man-of-business in the Woodstock area, John Cary of Wilcote, a lawyer and senior town councillor, informed an acquaintance that ‘the Duke carried it high there . . . and discharged one who had carried it ill against my lord before’. At court Lichfield was also supported by the leading minister, the Marquess of Carmarthen (Sir Thomas Osborne†) who had the legal proceedings quashed.3\nThe crusade against Lichfield was renewed in 1692, this time by the town’s governors. Senior members of the corporation had grown uneasy over Lichfield’s resistance to their invitations to take the statutory oaths for the high stewardship, and late in August the common council voted to deprive him of the office. Deeply mortified, Lichfield complained to Cary: ‘your town of Woodstock are the basest and meanest of people, else they could never intend so spiteful an action as to displace a man of my quality that has been so kind to them’. When shortly afterwards the council defied his instructions and elected Lovelace, he scented treachery among those formerly ‘my friends’. It would seem most likely that Lovelace himself had been the prime mover in what was clearly a preconcerted affair. This was not, however, the end of Lichfield’s role in Woodstock’s electoral politics. Lovelace proved himself a difficult patron to please, as Sir Thomas Littleton soon found. The death in 1691 of Osbaldeston had compelled Littleton himself to curry favour with the corporation, which he did largely through the assistance of John Cary, and with the benefit of Lovelace’s goodwill. But by March 1693 Lovelace suddenly turned against him, threatening to replace him at the next election. Mystified by this change of heart, Littleton could only speculate that his support for the East India Company had annoyed Lovelace’s son-in-law, Sir Henry Johnson*, a leading member of the interloping syndicate, who ‘possibly has influenced his lordship against me’. He made the strongest professions of gratitude to the corporation via Cary for ‘their service with which I have been already so much honoured’, hoping thereby to preserve his chances at the next election should he fail to win back Lovelace’s esteem. The opportunity during the summer of effecting some ‘small piece of service’ for the corporation enabled him to demonstrate his continuing commitment to the town. In August he told Cary of his intention of waiting upon Lovelace, ‘to tender my service’, but added, ‘if any other ways are requisite to reinstate me in his good opinion, I am too old to learn them’. However, Lovelace was already terminally ill from the effects of excessive drink and died the following month. But it was not until 1705 that the vacant high stewardship was filled.4\nAbingdon encountered no difficulties in reasserting his interest in the borough during the election of 1695. At first he made offers ‘off and on’ to Sir John Walter, 3rd Bt.*, of Sarsden, who held the fee farm rent of the manor of Woodstock, but then set up his younger son Hon. James Bertie and was soon reported to be ‘secure for him by consent of all the town’. As the outgoing Court Whig Members, Littleton and Wheate, both sought re-election, they faced the unseemly prospect of opposing each other over the second seat. Wheate was considered to have the better chance: Paul Foley I* informed Robert Harley* that ‘the election is about 19 townsmen and 20 foreigners’, the majority of whom were expected to vote for him. There was some early optimism among senior Tory figures, such as the Earl of Clarendon (Henry Hyde†), that an alliance between Wheate and the Bertie interest might have the desirable effect of unseating Littleton, an important pillar of the Court Whig interest in the Commons. None the less, Wheate was most reluctant to disoblige his party chiefs, and seems to have been finally discouraged from standing by Wharton. For his own part, Littleton had prepared the ground for a possible contest with Wheate by enlisting support from Lichfield, who as early as July had instructed Cary that ‘nothing ought to be done to seem to show any sort of regard or civility to him [Wheate], or anything he says’, while contingency arrangements had been made by Cary and other important townsmen to fight for Littleton in the event of a contest. Throughout the election period, however, Lichfield was compelled to disguise his support for Littleton and publicly declare his neutrality. This was primarily owing to the animosity then subsisting between Littleton and the Duke of Leeds (the former Lord Carmarthen) who was Lichfield’s great ally and protector at court. Cary, an effective channel of corporation support and approbation, led the way therefore in promoting a joint return of Littleton and Bertie, and Lichfield gave him instructions to distribute venison from the park as he saw fit, but not to do it in his name. Despite outward displays of ‘civility’ between Littleton on the one hand and Abingdon and his sons on the other, the re-establishment of the alliance was fraught with underlying tensions which became pronounced in the weeks immediately after the election. Much to his annoyance, Lichfield discovered that the Berties, notably Abingdon himself, his heir Lord Norreys (Montagu Venables-Bertie*) and his half-brother Hon. Charles Bertie*, were privately endeavouring to make mischief for him with Leeds by intimating that Lichfield had connived, through Cary, at Littleton’s recent selection as recorder of the borough and as MP. The newly elected James Bertie was openly contemptuous of Cary despite having received vital ‘kindness’ and assistance from him in the election. Lichfield thought it ‘very silly and mean in Abingdon to show so much spleen at Littleton privately, when I think outwardly at Woodstock he seemed well pleased that his son James should join with him’. The ‘spiteful underhand actings of these Berties’, as Lichfield described them, was clear evidence of how grudgingly they regarded their electoral arrangement with Littleton. In December Lichfield cautioned Cary to ‘continue your friendly correspondence to Sir Thomas without regarding whether they are much pleased with it or no, and you will be much in the right so to do’. Although its beginnings were inauspicious, the Littleton–Bertie partnership endured, albeit uneasily, through three more elections.5\nBy the next election, in 1698, Abingdon had lost his power base within the county, Wharton, now Lord Wharton, having replaced him in May the preceding year as lord lieutenant and custos rotulorum. In Woodstock Littleton was keen to capitalize on this change and stress his own personal association with the new lord lieutenant, thus to establish a superiority over the Bertie interest. He encouraged Wharton’s intention to hold the summer quarter sessions in the town. Legal advice had to be sought from the attorney-general since Oxford was the usual venue, but, as Littleton commented to Cary towards the end of April, ‘my lord, when he shall be well advised of his own power, seems resolved to exert it for the benefit of Woodstock, and you may be sure I shall use my best endeavours with him to bring anything about that may so much tend to the town’s advantage’. Littleton felt confident at this early stage that Abingdon ‘will not use his endeavours to throw me out, but rather permit the corporation to proceed to a friendly and unanimous election’. On 17 May he wrote to Cary expressing pleasure at news that ‘the town seems inclinable to choose their present representatives again, which will occasion the continuance of their goodwill and kindness to one another and avoid all the heat and divisions betwixt friends and neighbours’. With little apparent difficulty, he and Abingdon agreed to conduct the election in a spirit of concord, each realizing that too much risk was involved in a contest, and that neither side was strong enough to overpower the other.6\nThe partnership entered a period of renewed uncertainty following the death of Abingdon in May 1699 and the succession of his son Lord Norreys. In December Littleton, now Speaker of the House, broached with James Bertie the subject of their future electoral collaboration, reporting the outcome to Cary: ‘I acquainted him I had so far a good correspondence with my Lord his father as that we joined together to keep the corporation good friends without dividing neighbours.’ However, Bertie’s response was far from encouraging: ‘he was pleased to tell me he did not join against me, or something to that purpose, but his answer was so cold that I find I must shift for myself as I can’. It was plain by December 1700, during the run-up to the first election of 1701, that the Berties’ attitudes had become more bellicose, their mood reflecting the recent Tory gains at court. They appear at first to have partnered Bertie with Sir John Walter, a Tory whose adoption as candidate the previous Lord Abingdon had considered in 1695. But the uncontested re-election of Bertie with Littleton would suggest that the latter’s own carefully cultivated standing with the corporation and among the freemen was too strong to be disregarded. Much the same conditions prevailed in the second election of 1701 when Littleton was again able to rely solely upon the goodwill of the corporation. To Cary he wrote on 13 Nov.:\nit is impossible for me to forget your long kindness and friendship. I have already acquainted Mr mayor and Mr Ryves [the town clerk] of my design to appear again and beg the continuance of my friends’ favour at Woodstock which I have desired them to communicate to the corporation.7\nWith the appointment of Abingdon to the lord lieutenancy in place of Wharton soon after Queen Anne’s accession, the Berties acquired fresh political confidence. Their objective in Woodstock by this stage was to oust Littleton, the one remaining Whig Member in the county, by forcing a contest. Alongside James Bertie they set up Sir William Glynne, 2nd Bt., of Ambrosden, who had represented Oxford University during the 1698 Parliament. On the Whig side, Littleton drafted in Thomas Wheate, who, since being forced to stand down in 1695, had failed to secure a seat elsewhere, but had been created a baronet in 1696. Bertie’s position being assured, the main struggle was between ‘the Littleton party’ and Abingdon on behalf of Glynne, each side seeking to maximize its support from the previously untapped reserves of non-resident freemen also entitled to vote. The Tories scoured resourcefully, their range of tactics illustrated in a letter from William Whitton, the comptroller and surveyor of the park, to Sir William Trumbull*, the former Tory secretary of state:\nMr Napier, who is my Lord Abingdon’s friend in this troublesome election, came to me last night and says that they have found [that] Mr Pawling, a mercer of Oxford formerly but now belonging to the stamp office, is a freeman of Woodstock and they are afraid the Littleton party will engage him now. Mr Napier requests the favour of you to send to this Mr Pawling to give his vote for my Lord Abingdon which he will believe he will do, having received his place from you as Napier is informed.\nAt polling the Tory candidates secured both seats while Littleton trailed in third place by a margin of 31 votes. Though Wheate evidently fought his campaign in tandem with Littleton, his mere 23 votes revealed the weakness of his own interest in the borough.8\nThe Berties’ dominion over the borough was short-lived, however. In January 1705 the Queen granted the Duke of Marlborough (John Churchill†) the royal manor of Woodstock and hundred of Wotton, a demesne of some 22,000 acres, in recognition of the nation’s gratitude for his military prowess. The commissioning of a sumptuous baroque ducal seat within sight of the town’s south-western edge indicated the arrival of a mighty new interest in the borough which was bound to conflict with the longstanding influence of Abingdon. The corporation lost little time in honouring the great man whose residence would lie in their midst, and in March they selected Marlborough as their high steward, a distinction which they had never accorded Abingdon. The Duke moved quickly in bringing his new-found authority to bear in the locality during the spring months as the general election approached, though initial caution and a desire to compromise with Abingdon was apparent in his preference for fielding only one, and not two candidates. Since both Tory Members elected in 1702 had chosen to retire, Abingdon put forward as new candidates his cousin, Hon. Charles Bertie, and Sir John Walter, whose election at Woodstock the Berties had sought previously. Marlborough had initially given Abingdon ‘all assurances and promises’ that Bertie and Walters would not be opposed, but then intruded his own candidate, his right-hand man William Cadogan, ‘an Irish colonel’, which Abingdon, as he told a meeting of Tory magistrates, ‘conceived was no small dishonour to the gentry of this county’, and resolved to oppose with the ‘utmost vigour’. It would seem that Marlborough had wished from the start to bring in Cadogan, and was irritated to discover that the directions he had given to this effect to his surveyor-general of works at Woodstock Park, Samuel Travers*, who henceforth was to play a key part in managing the Duke’s interest in the borough, had been overlooked. Marlborough entrusted the task of securing Cadogan’s election to two close associates, Henry St John II* and James Craggs I*, and enlisted support from (Sir) Simon Harcourt I*, whom he had appointed as his deputy to preside over Woodstock’s manorial court. He had been led to believe, probably by St. John, that Cadogan’s election was secure, and that any dispute or contest would be between the two Tories, Bertie and Walter. Despite his own seigneurial position, however, he was forced to give way to Abingdon over Bertie’s election and accept a contest between his own candidate, Cadogan, and Walter, a situation which St. John regretted he himself had not been able to avoid, and which led the Duke to conclude he ‘may not be well used’ by the freemen. Marlborough was determined none the less ‘to suffer anything rather than give it up, for by standing the poll I shall know who are for and who are against me, so that I may be the better able to take my measures for another time’. In a letter to Robert Harley, Lord Treasurer Godolphin (Sidney†) reflected on the irony of the electoral struggle now confronting Marlborough at his very doorstep, and the potential humiliation if he failed: ‘this battle at Woodstock vexes me very much; what good will it do us to have Lord Marlborough beat the French abroad if the French at home beat him’. But in spite of all their fears and anxieties, the Marlborough camp was successful, St. John soon afterwards informing the Duke that Cadogan had succeeded ‘by a considerable majority’. In June Godolphin contemplated removing Abingdon from his office as constable of the Tower on account of his opposition at Woodstock, but Marlborough felt some other ‘occasion’ should be found, ‘it being a reason that will not be approved of’. Abingdon, whom Marlborough knew to be ‘so idle a talker’, later blamed the Duke for making unreasonable demands over the Woodstock election which had ‘seemed to imply a desire you had to break with him’. It is doubtful, however, whether Abingdon ever in fact intended any agreement with Marlborough. The disharmony at Woodstock was made inevitable by the gulf already emerging between the ‘duumvirs’ and their Tory colleagues as a result of differences over occasional conformity. In the summer months further steps were taken in the consolidation of the new Marlborough interest. It was already apparent that the building of Blenheim was to be a Whiggish venture. Both John Vanbrugh, the architect, and Travers, the surveyor-general, were keenly disposed to the Whig cause. Appropriately, Vanbrugh had ascertained that stone could be obtained more economically from the quarries belonging to the Whig squire (Sir) Thomas Wheate at Glympton than from those of the Tory Earl of Rochester (Lawrence Hyde†) at Cornbury. In the aftermath of the election Travers engaged busily in the distribution of venison from the Duke’s parkland, ‘chiefly to such persons of condition as were serviceable in the late election, without taking any notice of those gentlemen who so violently espoused the Lord Abingdon’s cause, unless I had your Grace’s or my lady Duchess’ positive orders therein’.9\nThe construction of Blenheim and the management of the surrounding estate became the town’s principal preoccupation. Most of the resident freemen, being tradesmen, were thus directly or indirectly beholden to the Duke, while his primacy in the county at large was confirmed in February 1706 by his appointment as lord lieutenant in place of Abingdon. So all-pervasive was the Marlborough interest by 1708 that Abingdon offered no resistance and even refrained from backing the re-election of his cousin Bertie. The election proceedings were therefore concluded with minimal fuss. Travers, accompanied by Lord Rialton (Hon. Francis Godolphin*), Marlborough’s son-in-law, who was seeking election for the county, visited the town on the eve of the election, and, as he reported to the Duke,\nwent round to all the freemen telling them their high steward [Marlborough] would take it very kindly and look on it as a mark of the corporation’s friendship for him if they would accept of the service of Major-General Cadogan and Sir Thomas Wheate, which they all readily promised me, even the few who had been most zealous for Lord Abingdon, and accordingly last Monday they were unanimously elected.\nWheate was an appropriate second nominee. As shown by his poor fourth place in the 1702 election, his own interest in the town amounted to little, and the Duchess was later to claim that without her husband’s financial assistance Wheate would never have been elected in 1708. But Wheate’s pre-eminence as a leader of local Whiggery made him a useful electoral ally, while at the same time the demand for stone from his Glympton quarries yoked him securely into the Marlboroughs’ service. Since his own position as Member for the borough depended exclusively on the good ordering of the Duke’s political affairs there, it fell to him to oversee and liaise in these matters with Vanbrugh and Travers.10\nEven at the height of Tory confidence in the months preceding the 1710 election there was no talk or semblance of opposition to the old Members, whom Marlborough ordered were to be retained. It was only in the final days before the election that the threat of a challenge produced a last-minute crisis which required the strenuous efforts of Wheate and Travers to defuse. On 3 Oct., just a few days before the election, Travers’ deputy Henry Joynes received instructions from the Duchess to cease all work on Blenheim. The ostensible reason was that a decision was awaited from the new ministry about the future financing of the project, but it would appear that this precipitate action was also intended as a show of strength towards a militant minority in the town who were threatening to flout the Duke’s wishes by setting up Travers instead of Wheate. In an open letter of support to Wheate she had already expressed irritation that certain elements in the Blenheim workforce were liable ‘to give trouble in the election’, adding, ‘I will give any directions that are necessary to prevent any disorder’. This restlessness seems to have originated in recent shortages of funds for the building. Large numbers of unpaid workmen were being forced to depend on credit from tradesmen and shopkeepers in the town, a situation which became a source of annoyance among the latter, who were well represented among the freemen. Not surprisingly, the wholesale laying-off of workmen caused an immediate furore in the town, and much to the Duchess’s disgust Vanbrugh and his assistant Nicholas Hawksmoor left in haste, fearing for their own safety. With characteristic imperiousness the Duchess dismissed Joynes’s warning of likely tumults, asserting that it was not in the interest of the Woodstock townsmen to disoblige the Duke: ‘I am very unwilling to believe they can be so ungrateful as to have a thought of any but the old Members and after all I have written to show my dissatisfaction for which there is but too much reason.’ Abingdon had already explored the possibility of forcing a contest, and on 3 Oct., the day on which the Duchess’s orders had been received, a group of local Tory gentlemen, including Walter and Sir Robert Jenkinson, 3rd Bt.*, visited the town announcing Abingdon’s intention of setting up ‘an honest gentleman, there being now a proper occasion for it’. Observers such as Dr Stratford of Christ Church thought that the animosity against Blenheim and the Duchess augured well for such an opposition. Wheate ‘being so apprehensive of their surprising us . . . sent expresses to all the gentlemen and foreign freemen who are our friends’ to attend the election, while Travers, in London, borrowed £300 on his own credit to pay off the labourers and the ‘most necessitous of this town’. Arriving on the morning before the election, Travers found a calmer scene, ‘much changed from what Mr Vanbrugh and Mr Hawksmoor had told me . . . The people who had been turned off without their wages were fuller of complaints and tears than threats and violence.’ He summoned the chief malcontents together and with difficulty persuaded them to renounce their intention of choosing himself rather than Wheate. Meanwhile, Abingdon and his supporters in the town had failed in the short time available to find any one prepared to accept nomination, and the opportunity of defeating Wheate was lost for good when the Earl’s attention was distracted at the last moment by another electoral crisis at Westbury. Accordingly, Cadogan and Wheate were returned unopposed. Travers briefed Marlborough that ‘all was done quietly and I congratulated the freemen on their choosing two such worthy Members, and thanked them in the name of the high steward for this mark of their respect and friendship for him’.11\nThe Marlborough interest at Woodstock suffered a grievous blow, however, following the Duke’s fall from favour at the end of 1711. By the Queen’s command work on Blenheim was stopped in the summer of 1712, and once more the ‘Blenheim debt’ became a major factor in the long struggle for votes that preceeded the next election. In a bid to preserve his electoral sway in the borough and to ‘oblige’ as many of the freemen as possible, Marlborough, from his self-imposed exile in Holland, issued a proposal for paving the town. The feasibility of the project was discussed and agreed upon locally by Vanbrugh, Wheate and Joynes at the beginning of 1713, while Rialton, now 2nd Earl of Godolphin, assumed overall financial responsibility on the Duke’s behalf. It became clear during these early months that local Tories were preparing for a serious electoral showdown later in the year. Leading this onslaught was Vincent Oakley, a local gentleman, who sought one of the seats for himself. The other contender was Sir Thomas Sebright, 4th Bt.†, who as a young Hertfordshire gentleman was much less conspicuous in the campaign. The lines were drawn in February when, much to the disturbance of Oakley and ‘his party’, Joynes, acting as Marlborough’s chief agent in Travers’ absence, began paying off outstanding bills to the Duke’s friends among the freemen. ‘I have asked not one person for his vote’, he reported to Travers, ‘but I find paying them has the same effect.’ Furthermore, at the end of the month the mayor, prompted by a letter from Vanbrugh in late January, admitted no fewer than 28 freemen, 25 of them honorary, and all known to be Marlborough supporters. Oakley’s agents, having intercepted Vanbrugh’s letter, a tirade against the government’s hounding of Marlborough, attempted to blackmail the architect into serving their own purposes. Notifying the Lord Treasurer Oxford (Harley) of the letter’s contents, they threatened to procure Vanbrugh’s dismissal as comptroller of the board of works unless he agreed to prevail with Marlborough’s candidates to stand down. Vanbrugh refused to be browbeaten, however, and was turned out in mid-March. The creation of new freemen prompted Oakley to step up his campaign. He encouraged all who were owed money on the Blenheim account to state their debts, whether or not they were freemen, and promised to secure cash from the Treasury. At first Joynes was apt to belittle these blandishments:\nthe talk here is, with Mr Oakley’s party, that Mr Oakley is the greatest man in the world with the Queen, my lord treasurer and my lord keeper [Harcourt]; and that the Queen has wished Mr Oakley success in his affairs at Woodstock, and such ridiculous talk is daily spread abroad.\nWheate and several senior corporation men in the Duke’s interest were rather more wary and concluded that if Oakley found means of disbursing any money, to the freemen in particular, ‘they should entirely lose their interest’. Accordingly, Joynes promptly obtained a loan of £600 from Marlborough’s son-in-law Godolphin, and immediately commenced distribution of the money to the freemen. Oakley’s plans for ‘a great dinner and meeting’ of all the freemen at nearby Bladon collapsed as soon as it was realized ‘that the entertainment was nothing more than a pretended payment to keep them from voting for Marlborough’s candidates’. Joynes also devised accounting procedures to ensure that the priority given to debts outstanding to freemen could not be construed as bribery should the election proceedings be investigated by the Commons. By the end of March Joynes could assure Godolphin: ‘the money I received of your lordship has been truly applied to the service it was desired for, and I hope will answer the purpose of getting friends and maintaining my lord Duke’s interest’. As work began in the spring on paving the streets, Joynes requested Godolphin to remit payments without delay, so ‘as not to become a debt, because the people at present about us are continually endeavouring to catch at anything for reflection’s sake’. Godolphin for his part was anxious to keep the work on foot ‘as long as may be contrived’. Though the campaign in its later stages is hardly documented, it is clear from the narrow margin of the result that each side must have battled hard during the summer months. Despite the earlier success of Marlborough’s agents in preserving the loyalties of resident freemen, the Tories under Oakley evidently gained much solid support from this body in the later stages of campaigning. So great were these pressures on the Marlborough interest that only by subsequent admissions of freemen in their favour, in June and August, were they able to maintain even a narrow lead over the Tories. Although Cadogan and Wheate were returned, there was every reason to expect that they would be unseated in the new Parliament. ‘I suppose one of the first things that will be endeavoured’, the Duchess wrote regarding the Woodstock result, ‘will be to turn out all the Members that will not blindly vote whatever they are ordered against the interest of their country.’ Sebright and Oakley’s joint petition was duly presented on 3 Mar. 1714 and, as the ministry were keen to stage-manage the case as a public demonstration of their resolve to purge the Commons of leading Whigs, it was the first for which a hearing at the bar was ordered. But the proceedings, which took place on the 16th, were, as one High Tory had to admit, ‘pitifully managed’ and conferred little credit on the ministry. Tory abuse heaped against Marlborough was simply ignored by the Duke’s friends. The petitioners’ insistence on the invalidity of the votes polled by recently admitted freemen was undermined by the defection of the Scots solicitor-general, Sir James Stewart, 1st Bt.*, who\nlooked upon it as the undoubted privilege of every corporation to assume what number of men, and at what time they pleased, into their corporation unless there were some law or custom to the contrary, which none of the petitioners’ lawyers pretended to advance . . . every man, if legally admitted any time before the writs were out, [was] entitled to vote at the very next election.\nThe House finally resolved that the votes of new freemen were admissible, but would accept that neither Cadogan and Wheate nor Oakley and Sebright had been duly elected and so declared the election void. At the election held eight days later, however, Cadogan and Wheate were chosen with none of the opposition that had plagued them over many months in 1713.12\nDuring the first decade or so of Hanoverian rule, as the Duchess’s antipathy to the Court hardened, she used her influence in Woodstock to return MPs committed to opposition, regardless of their political colour. It was an indication of her adaptation to the changed political times that she was even prepared to co-operate amicably with those such as Abingdon, whom she had formerly despised as a patron of Jacobites.13\nAuthor: Andrew A.

{"text": "[From the Chapter 1] The main objective of this chapter is to introduce the concept of content-intensive websites (or information-intensive websites), since it is precisely this type of website, and its content-heavy webpages, to which the various concepts, ideas and techniques that we present in this book are best applied.\nFollowing on from this presentation, we discuss the relationship between content-intensive websites and the contributions made by Library and Information Science to the universe of the World Wide Web. We conclude by providing a brief presentation of the overall content of this book, describing the subjects addressed in each of the remaining six chapters.\nCharacterization of Content-Intensive Sites\nContent-intensive sites (CISs) are characterized by the fact that they belong to organizations that naturally produce large volumes of information. That is, they produce this content not as a result of having to come up with strategies to fill their website, as might be the case of other types of organization (we refer to the majority of firms operating in the business world, for example), but simply because they cannot not create it. In other words, they would cease to fulfil a fundamental part of their mission if they stopped creating content.\nGenerally speaking, there are three main types of organization that present this characteristic: the media, universities and museums. We do not automatically rule out the possibility of there being other classes, but given the widespread presence of these three in any moderately developed society, their great social significance and their impact on knowledge, they are by far the most important.\nThe three types of institution share a series of characteristics of enormous significance. First, the kind of information they produce and manage is of the broadest social interest and reach. Second, in their fields, they produce and manage information that enhances cultural quality and promotes the advancement of a nation’s knowledge (and their coming together in an international system, of course, improves the cultural quality, and promotes the knowledge, of mankind as a whole). Finally, in an era of unabated changes that can be traced to the beginning of the industrial revolution, they are three examples of centuries-old institutions which, despite suffering periodic crises, do not appear to be near the end of their existence; on the contrary, they would appear to be as strong as ever.\nBriefly, the media provide the channels by which society, since at least the eighteenth century, has kept itself informed about what is going on around it and, since at least the beginning of the twentieth century, it has been a formidable instrument in the defence of democracy in its role of keeping a watchful eye on those in power and, indeed, is often referred to as the “fourth power”. Today, there is a widespread consensus that active, well-informed citizens thanks to a high-quality, free press are, in turn, the foundation of strong democracy.\nThe universities, for their part, have been responsible, since the Middle Ages, for a dual function whose importance cannot be exaggerated: the dissemination of knowledge and the creation of new knowledge. As if this were not enough, they house the great university libraries, or as is preferred in more modern circles, resource centres for learning and research.\nFinally, the museums, in existence since the beginning of the eighteenth century, fulfil the function of the preservation of our tangible and intangible cultural heritage and of making it available not only to researchers and scholars but to society as a whole. Their permanent collections form a massive archive whose digitization and documentation represent an invaluable and, fortunately, vast source of information and knowledge.\nWhile to an outside observer of the world of both search engine optimization (SEO) and the Library and Information Sciences, these three types of organization might appear to have little in common, we would claim (summing up what we have said so far) that they are institutions that share a number of important characteristics. First, they are all three deeply rooted in their respective societies. Second, they generate a wide variety of information as part of their natural activities. Third, their information is of broad social interest. They also generate multimedia information, that is, they produce content covering the entire spectrum of information morphologies (text, image, sound and video); and, more recently, they have begun to generate interactive content, linked even to augmented and virtual realities. Finally, all three are heavily conditioned to ensure that their contents are of quality and meet essential requirements of validity.\nAn opportunity for Library and Information Science\nFrom the perspective of Library and Information Science (LIS), CISs and mixed sites are of great interest because they both require intense inputs from this field of study.\nThe reason for this is that LIS does not concern itself with just any kind of information. Indeed, information is the subject of study and the focus of many disciplines and professions. Biology, for example, is concerned with information (among other things) when it studies the laws of genetics, and so is Mass Communication, to choose a discipline at the other end of the academic spectrum, when it examines the messages circulating in the media.\nInformation is an ever-present facet in the life experience of human beings as individuals, and also of human societies as a whole. People constantly exchange information with each other as part of their vital interaction with their fellow man. Society deals with huge amounts of information on a permanent basis and in real time, including, for example, city traffic and pollution data.\nWhat exactly is the focus of interest of LIS in this overwhelming panorama presided over by the constant exchange of information? We believe that by examining our specific object of study we are able to recognize a number of characteristics that are at the same time unique and exclusive to the information which concerns us in the field of LIS.\nFirst, LIS does not concern itself with just any kind of information, as we have been at pains to illustrate with the above examples; rather, it concerns itself with information that is recorded in material supports, what we can refer to as documents.\nFor many years now LIS has not only focused its attention on printed documents and textual information. As mentioned, the concept of the document includes any kind of recorded material including digital supports and all types of information morphology, including text, image, video and sound. This means that LIS is not only concerned with monographs and articles in print magazines housed in libraries, but also with computer records hosted in database systems.\nSecond, LIS does not concern itself with administrative information, such as that produced daily by millions of businesses and individuals around the globe, which means the balance sheets of a country’s companies are not to be found in libraries, rather we have to visit the company archives or the nation’s historical archives (if the information is old) to find them.\nHow the book is structured\nIn this book, it is our understanding that Information Architecture (IA), via its contribution to the design of navigation systems, and Search Engine Optimization (SEO) occupy a privileged place in their applications to content-intensive sites (see the reasons outlined above). Likewise, we believe both IA and SEO occupy privileged places in the applications of LIS to the universe of the web.\nIn keeping with these beliefs, we can build an interesting triangle, with one side being formed by the World Wide Web, the second by LIS and the third by the partnership forged between AI + SEO. It is precisely this triangle that has served as our motivation to work and research in these areas at our respective universities, and it is these ideas that we now wish to make available to the reader in this book.\nIn the next chapter, Chapter 2, we analyse the bases on which the navigation system is founded and that allow a user to explore and locate information in web environments and on mobile devices. To do so, we organize the chapter into four sections. In the first, we examine the subject of navigation in fairly broad terms. Specifically, the section begins by highlighting the basic importance of navigation and how this is manifest in web environments. We follow this up by offering a complete definition of the navigation system. Finally, we round off the section by providing a series of recommendations (or heuristics) that can be followed to improve the design and implementation of a website navigation system.\nIn the second section of this chapter, we show how the overall navigation system that can be found on a webpage is usually built up from different elements or subsystems. We examine this typology and describe the two basic navigation systems: embedded systems – constant, local and contextual systems; and supplementary systems – maps, indexes and guides. In the third section, we present the advanced or non-basic systems – personalization systems, visual navigation systems, and social navigation systems. And, in the fourth, we examine the components that enable us to add extra layers of semantic navigation to a site and which enhance both the user’s navigating experience and the site’s SEO.\nIn Chapter 3, we focus our attention on describing and analysing methodological questions associated with the implementation of navigation.\nThe first section is dedicated to examining the different phases or stages that have to be completed to ensure our navigation resources are designed efficiently. Specifically, we focus on the stages of analysis, design and implementation. The analysis stage examines in detail the scenario in which the site will be developed and includes contextual, content and user analyses. In the design phase, we present the navigation resources and develop a content inventory and content models, a representation of the vocabulary, the prototype and an evaluation of the proposed navigation system. Finally, in the implementation phase, an initial version of the navigation system that was drawn up in the design phase is developed, this is then communicated, before the eventual website is developed and the style guides created.\nThe next two sections are dedicated to addressing two of the most frequently used methodological strategies of user analysis, developed to ensure the efficient design of navigation resources: the Persona-Scenario method and the Card Sorting technique. The Persona-Scenario method is a non-participatory analysis technique that seeks both to identify the site’s target users and to place their actions within a given context, thus allowing decisions to be taken about the design and structure of our project. The Card Sorting technique is a participatory methodological strategy that allows us to design different (constant and local) navigation systems drawing on the cognitive organizations presented by the site’s target users.\nChapter 4 has two aims: first, to analyse the functions of prototyping and prototyping typologies and, second, to describe and review a series of online and desktop tools designed to facilitate the creation of prototypes for the design and creation of webpages and digital content for mobile devices. To meet these goals, the chapter is organised as follows. First, we begin by outlining the importance and functionality of prototyping for the architectural design of a website. Then, we analyse the two main types of prototypes or diagrams typically used to represent the architecture proposed for a webpage: blueprints and wireframes. Finally, we review some of the main (online and desktop) solutions for developing and implementing website diagramming or prototyping.\nIntroducing the essentials of SEO or website positioning is the main objective of Chapter 5. Here, we examine the basic guidelines and best practices that ensure a website is visible on the World Wide Web. First, we present a brief description of SEO from the point of view of its main objectives. Then we focus on one of its principal objects of study, search engines, to understand how they analyse and interpret information, and how they rank it on their results pages. Finally, in this chapter, we look at website positioning factors by grouping them in two sets, the OnSite and OffSite factors.\nHaving reviewed the essentials of SEO, in Chapter 6 we present the different phases of a positioning campaign, then move on to focus our attention on aspects of OnSite SEO and, in particular, on content-based SEO, as this is one of the strengths of content-intensive sites (CISs). Specifically, we introduce the main phases of an SEO campaign. But once these phases of the campaign have been implemented, the only way to sustain the site’s position is by promoting a continuous policy of content creation and publishing.\nTo meet this objective, we also present a framework proposal to optimize site content linked to the production of news and current affairs, given that this is one of the most characteristic cases of CISs. However, this proposal can be extended to all the other CISs that we refer to throughout this book (that is not only news media sites but also university and museum websites).\nIn the preceding chapters we therefore examine, first, the essentials of SEO and, second, the phases of an optimization campaign as well as a framework for optimizing the production of a CIS, taking as our example a media communication site, although the recommendations we make can be extrapolated to other CISs.\nFinally, in Chapter 7, we first review the current state of the mobile web, considering a range of different devices based on their screen size, given that this characteristic is the main determinant of the user experience. We also consider mobile operating systems and applications, in particular, news aggregators. Finally, we link SEO and the mobile web via both searches and responsive web design.\nMario Pérez-Montoro; Lluís Codina.

{"text": "Summary and Keywords\nAdolescent substance use and abuse has long been the target of public health prevention messages. These messages have adopted a variety of communication strategies, including fear appeals, information campaigns, and social marketing/branding strategies. A case history of keepin’ it REAL, a narrative-based substance abuse prevention intervention that exemplifies a translational research approach, involves theory development testing, formative and evaluation research, dissemination, and assessment of how the intervention is being used in the field by practitioners. The project, which started as an attempt to test the notion that the performance of personal narratives was an effective intervention strategy, has since produced two theories, an approach to implementation science that focused on communication processes, and, of course, a school-based curriculum that is now the most widely disseminated drug prevention program in the world.\nAt the core of the keepin’ it REAL program are the narratives that tell the story of how young people manage their health successfully through core skills or competencies, such as decision-making, risk assessment, communication, and relationship skills. Narrative forms not only the content of curriculum (e.g., what is taught) but also the pedagogy (e.g., how it is taught). This has enabled the developers to step inside the social worlds of youth from early childhood through young adulthood to describe how young people manage problematic health situations, such as drug offers. This knowledge was motivated by the need to create curricula that recount stories rather than preaching or scaring, that re-story health decisions and behaviors by providing skills that enable people to live healthy, safe, and responsible lives. Spin-offs from the main study have led to investigations of other problematic health situations, such as vaccination decisions and sexual pressure, in order to address crucial public health issues, such as cancer prevention and sex education, through community partnerships with organizations like D.A.R.E. America, 4-H clubs, and Planned Parenthood.\nKeywords: keepin’ it REAL, narrative, engagement, cultural grounding, translational research, substance use prevention, prevention, dissemination, program implementation, case study, adolescent health, communication competence\nAccess to the complete content on Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Communication requires a subscription or purchase.

{"text": "It seems fitting that His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama should deliver both a public talk and the Commencement keynote address at UC San Diego. His Holiness claims a special affinity for educators and for young people, whom he characterizes as the ones who shape the future; in his view each generation has the opportunity – indeed, the responsibility – to remake the world for the better and to redefine our place in it. Throughout his public life the Dalai Lama has extolled the nexus formed by mind, body, and spirit, stressing that to nurture one is to nurture the others, and that all are essential to lead a fulfilled life. To this end His Holiness is a strong advocate for universal and well-rounded education, and in particular believes that an understanding of the sciences is essential for safeguarding our planet’s health. (He was one of the first world leaders to warn of the dangers of climate change and the need for swift action, on both individual and societal levels.)\nThe Dalai Lama maintains that the true goal of a fulfilled life is happiness expressed through inner peace. Many Westerners view Tibetan Buddhism as a philosophy that emphasizes asceticism, but the Dalai Lama’s message eschews an isolated, purely contemplative “sackcloth and ashes” approach in favor of one that couples active engagement with the world with a realization that true happiness is not materially based. Rather, it comes from an optimistic outlook, good deeds, and above all, love, tolerance and compassion rooted in the acceptance of our interconnectedness through our shared humanity. Achieving this inner peace is never easy, and His Holiness acknowledges the difficulties when he tells the graduates, “Now you have completed your study period, now you begin another lifestyle – work: not easy; life will not be easy. Determination, willpower, optimism are very essential.”\nFor more programs with His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama click here.", "label": "No"}

{"text": "On This Day: August 15, 1914 — Panama Canal Inaugurated\nThe Panama Canal was the most ambitious American engineering project of its time.\nApproximately 240 million cubic yards of dirt and “spoil” were excavated and removed!\nThe Panama Canal was the most expensive American public works project of its time in 1914 with an estimated cost of $302 million.\nThe Panama Canal has been designated as one of the “Seven Wonders of the Modern World.”\nThe Panama Canal is still a present-day monument to human engineering!\nInformation & Facts:\nVarious attempts have been made to quantify and visualize the amount of “dirt” which was removed over the approximately 50-mile route across the isthmus of Panama to make the canal.\n“The earth and rubble removed between Colon and Balboa was enough to bury Manhattan to a depth of 12 feet.” — http://cms.uflib.ufl.edu/pcm/facts.aspx\n“Nine miles long, with an average depth of 120 feet, with a bottom width of 300 feet, and with a top width which reaches at places to a third of a mile, this marvelous canyon presents at once an inspiring and awesome aspect, revealing both man’s audacity and nature’s grim resistance to his efforts.” – http://czbrats.com/Builders/Bennett/culebra1.htm\nIn David McCullough’s book of over 500 pages — “Path Between the Seas” — McCullough spends quite an amount of words and pages to describe the excavation! He goes at it from different angles in order to help the reader visualize it.\n“For anyone to picture, the volume of earth that had to be removed to build the Panama Canal was an all but hopeless proposition. Statistics were broadcast — 15,700,000 cubic yards in 1907, and incredible 37,000,000 cubic yards in 1908 — but such figures were really beyond comprehension . . . . The illustrative analogies offered by editors and writers were of little help, since they were seldom any less fantastic. The spoil from the canal prism, it was said, would be enough to build a Great Wall of Chian from San Francisco to New York. If the United States were perfectly flat, and amount of digging required for a canal ten feet deep by fifty-five feet wide from coast to coast would no greater than what was required at Panama within fifty miles. A train of dirt cars carrying the total excavation at Panama would circle the world four times at the equator. The spoil would be enough to build sixty-three pyramids the size of the Great Pyramid of Cheops. (To help its readers imagine what this might look like, Scientific American commissioned an artist to draw Manhattan with giant pyramids lining the length of Broadway from Battery to Harlem.)\nThe material taken from Culebra Cut alone, exclaimed one writer toward the completion of the work, would make a pyramid topping the Woolworth Building by 100 feet, at 792 feet, was then the world’s tallest building, which the total spoil excavated in the Canal Zone would form a pyramid 4,200 feet high, or more than seven times the height of the Washington Monument.” – Mc Cullough – pgs 529-521\n“In any one day there were fifty to sixty steam shovels at work in the Cut, and with the dirt trains running in and out virtually without pause, the efficiency of each shovel was more than double what it had been. Along the entire line of about five hundred trainloads a day were being hauled to the dumps.” — Mc Cullough – pgs 529-521\nAfter Goethals took over the Panama operation, upon Steven’s resignation, some changes were made to the plans . . . .\n“The bottom width of the channel through Culebra Cut was to be made half again wider, from two hundred to three hundred feet. Thus it was to be more than four times as broad as the French canal would have been at that point.” – McCullough – pg 539\n“For seven years Culebra Cut was never silent, not even or an hour Labor trains carrying some six thousand men began rolling in shortly after dawn every morning except Sunday . . . . during the midday break and again after five o’clock that the dynamite crews took over and began blasting. At night came the repair crews, men by the hundreds to tend the shovels, which were not being worked to the limit and taking a heavy beating.” — McCullough – pg 544\n“The peak was in March 1909, when sixty-eight shovels, the largest number ever used at one time int he Cur, removed more than 2,000,000 cubic yards, ten times the volume achieved by the French in their best month . . . . The volume removed from the Cut was 96,000,000 cubic yards . . . . No machines had ever been subjected to such a test, and their record was a tribute to the men who designed and built them.”– McCullough – pg 547\nAt the end of all his descriptions — and that of other — I still cannot get my head around the amount of dirt and spoil which was excavated! What does it mean to excavate, remove, transport, and/or blow up 240 million cubic yards of dirt, rock, and/or spoil?\nThat question has the potential to result in and lead to an interesting biblical illustration!\nThere are a good number of articles and books written which attempt to teach how to make large numbers understandable. Infographics are one such attempt. Or you can go to the USA Today newspaper, and they typically have a graphic which attempts to help the reader visualize an idea.\nTrying to grasp large amounts of money proses the same difficulty. What is one billion dollars? If you were offered a billion dollars, as long as you counted out every dollar bill, at one a second, 24 hours a day — you would be 31 1/2 years old before you finished counting the money! — no sleeping allowed or you get much older faster!\nYou could use any other similar large excavation projects* which have such large numbers that it becomes hard to fathom!\nHowever, the Panama Canal is the largest engineering excavation project which has ever been attempted in the world!\nI one sense, the only way to come close to grasping the vastness of the excavation is by a picture!\nThe Culebra Cut\nThe Gaillard Cut\nThat leads us to the value of using the Panama Canal as our illustration . . . .\n“What does infinite love, mercy, kindness, holiness, faithfulness, etc. look like? How can we come close to understanding God?\nIsaiah 64:4 — For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside thee, what he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him.\nI Corinthians 2:9 — But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.\nKey Illustrative Thoughts:\n• understanding the Lord\n• beyond our comprehension\n• what is man that thou are mindful of him\n• it will take eternity\n• life is but vapor\n• who hath known the mind of Christ\n• “count” on it\n• language can’t communicate it\n• it’s beyond us\n• use the greatest limits of your imagination, and you are still not there\n• imagine this\n• I can only imagine\n• We can’t even imagine\nOther Interesting Facts about the Panama Canal**\nFirst ground broken by French January 1, 1880\nActive work started by the French January 20, 1882\nExcavation by French (cubic yards) 78,146,906\nExcavation by French useful to present Canal (cubic yards) 29,908,000\nAmount of money spent by the French $260,000,000\nNumber of lives lost during French control 20,000\nAmount United States paid French for their rights and property $40,000,000\nCanal Zone acquired by U.S. from Panama by treaty February 23, 1904\nAmount United States paid Panama for Canal Zone $10,000,000\nRental paid by U.S. to Panama beginning in 1913 per annum $250,000\nWork began by the United States May 4, 1904\nFirst ship through the Canal September 26, 1913\nDate of official opening August 15, 1914\nName of first official ship to transit canal S.S.

During those relatively rare occasions, it has been necessary to limit the draft of transiting vessels.\nIn the case of bulk carriers operating at maximum drafts, the canal gives two weeks notice of any draft restrictions, thereby allowing the ships to compensate for the draft limitation.\nGatun Lake (normal surface level above sea level) 85 feet\nCulebra Cut (channel depth) 45 feet\nAmount of excavation by Americans in cubic yards 232,353,000\nTotal concrete for canal in cubic yards 5,000,000\nWeight of 1 cubic yard of concrete 1.5 tons\nEstimated cost of the Panama Canal built by U.S. $375,000,000\nNumber of lives lost during United States control 5,609\nToll charge for Disney Magic cruise ship in 2008 $313,200\nFirst Panama Railroad completed 1855\nLength of Panama Railroad 47.11 miles\nPanama Railroad costs $8,984,922\nAmount of carloads of dirt removed daily by railroad 200\nTide on the Pacific side 20 feet\nTide on the Atlantic side 2.5 feet\nAverage rainfall on Atlantic side 130 inches\nAverage rainfall on Pacific side 70 inches\nSize: 1000’ x 110’ x 42’\nGatun Locks – 3 steps and 6 chambers\nPedro Miguel – 1 step and 2 chambers\nMiraflores – 2 steps, 4 chambers\nWater Flow: By gravity, down and across chambers\nPanamax Ship: 965’ x 106’ x 39 ½’\nMaximum Cargo: 4400 TEUs – container ship\nGates: 4 or more miter gates swing per chamber\nWater: 52 million gallons lost to sea per transit\nThe New Enlarged Panama Expansion Project — Excavation\n“Like the channel that opened in 1914, the enlarged Panama Canal is a feat of engineering, albeit one that ran over budget and two years behind schedule. The contractors dredged enough material to fill the Egyptian Great Pyramid at Giza, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, 25 times over. The amount of steel used could have erected 29 new Eiffel Towers.”\nOther Information & Links:\n“The first section of the New York City subway opened in 1904. . . . in 1904 when the very first lines were opened, 3.5 million cubic yards of earth and rock had been removed.”\n“The Big Dig is officially named the Central Artery/Tunnel Project in Boston. It’s a 3.5 mile tunnel to route vehicle traffic underneath the city. Construction began in 1991 and sections of the tunnel were opened between 2003 and 2006. The initial cost of the project was estimated to be $2.8 billion, but the final cost was close to $15 billion. Charges of corruption, inadequate materials, and a fatal collapse accompanied the project. The completed tunnel saw the excavation of 16 million cubic yards of earth.”\n“Culebra Cut was the “special wonder” of the canal. Here, men and machines labored to conquer the 8.75-mile stretch extending through the Continental Divide from Gamboa on the Chagres River at the north to Pedro Miguel on the south. The lowest point in the saddle between Gold Hill on the east and Contractors Hill on the west was at elevation 333.5 feet above sea level.\nHoles were drilled, filled with explosives and detonated to loosen the rock and rock-hard clay. Steam shovels then excavated the spoil, placing it on railroad cars to be hauled to dump sites. Excavation equipment, in addition to the railroad itself, included steam shovels, unloaders, spreaders and track-shifters. Of this equipment, only the steam shovel had been known to the French, and then in a much less powerful form. The Lidgerwood unloader, manufactured by the Lidgerwood Manufacturing Company of New York City, was another indispensable piece of equipment. Wooden flatcars with a rated canal capacity of 19 cubic yards hauled most of the spoil, pulled in long trains by full-sized, American built locomotives. Built with only one side, they had steel aprons bridging the spaces between cars. Dirt was piled high against one side. At the dump site, the unloader, a three-ton plow, was hitched to the last car by a long cable to a huge winch-like device mounted on a flatcar at the head of the train. Taking its power from the locomotive, the winch pulled the plow rapidly forward, unloading the whole twenty-car train in a single, 10-minute sweep. One of these machines once set an 8-hour record by unloading 18 trains, about 3 ½ miles of cars containing about 7,560 cubic yards of material. Engineers estimated that 20 of these unloaders operated by 120 laborers did the work of 5,666 men unloading by hand.\nThe dirt-spreader was another American innovation. A car operated by compressed air, it had steel “wings” on each side that could be raised and lowered. When lowered, they sloped 11.5 feet backward from the rails. Moving forward, the dirt-spreader spread and leveled the material left along the track by the unloader. Like the unloader, the spreader did the work of some 5,000 to 6,000 men working by hand\nAnother machine, the track-shifter, was invented by American William G. Bierd, general manager of the Panama Railroad from September 1905 to October 1907. The huge crane-like machine would hoist a whole section of track – rails and ties – and swing it in either direction, to relocate it as much as 9 feet at a time. With the tracks at the dumps needing constant shifting to keep pace with the arriving loads of spoil, the track-shifter was extremely useful. It took less than a dozen men operating on the shifter one day to move a mile of track, a task requiring not less than 600 men.\nA large number of 17-cubic-yard capacity, 4-sided Western and Oliver dump cars (27 cars comprising a train) was also used. As it was hard to unload the dirt from these cars because the heavy clay would stick to the steel sides, they were used almost exclusively for hauling rock from the Cut to Gatun Dam. Their 4-sided design made them impossible for use with the unloader. More than a hundred million cubic yards of spoil had to be hauled away from the excavation site and dumped. Part of this spoil was used to join a series of four small islands in Panama Bay (Naos, Perico, Culebra and Flamenco) to create a breakwater. This breakwater is topped by a roadway, making it a causeway that extends three and a quarter miles out into the Pacific. The stretch between the mainland and Naos Island was a very troublesome dumping area because of a soft bottom into which tons of rock would settle and virtually disappear. Track and trestle used to haul the spoil to the dumping area would disappear overnight into the ocean and have to be replaced. In the end, to reach Naos Island took ten times the estimated spoil.\nSpoil was also used to claim nearly 500 acres of Pacific Ocean to create the Balboa townsite and the Fort Amador military reservation. Millions of cubic yards of material also had to be hauled out to big waste dumps in the jungle. In the largest of these, Tabernilla, 17,000,000 cubic yards of material were deposited. Balboa was the biggest dumpsite. Other big dumps were Gatun Dam, and Miraflores.” — http://www.pancanal.com/eng/history/history/culebra.html\nSee other illustrations – links", "label": "No"}
{"text": "Americans are disgusted with watching politicians screaming and yelling at one another on television. But does all the noise really make a difference? Drawing on numerous studies, Professor Diana Mutz in her compelling new book In-Your-Face Politics: The Consequences of Uncivil Media (Princeton University Press, April 2015) provides the first comprehensive look at the consequences of in-your-face politics. Her book contradicts the conventional wisdom by documenting both the benefits and the drawbacks of in-your-face media.\n“In-your-face” politics refers to both the level of incivility and the up-close and personal way that we experience political conflict on television. Just as actual physical closeness intensifies people’s emotional reactions to others, the appearance of closeness on a video screen has similar effects. We tend to keep our distance from those with whom we disagree. Modern media, however, puts those we dislike in our faces in a way that intensifies our negative reactions. Mutz finds that incivility is particularly detrimental to facilitating respect for oppositional political viewpoints and to citizens’ levels of trust in politicians and the political process. On the positive side, incivility and close-up camera perspectives contribute to making politics more physiologically arousing and entertaining to viewers. This encourages more attention to political programs, stimulates recall of the content, and encourages people to relay content to others.\nIn the end, In-Your-Face Politics demonstrates why political incivility is not easily dismissed as a disservice to democracy—it may even be a necessity in an age with so much competition for citizens’ attention.", "label": "No"}
{"text": "Davi Johnson Thornton\nCommunication studies identifies bodies as both objects of communication and producers (or sites) of communication. Communication about bodies—for example, gendered bodies, disabled bodies, obese bodies, and surgically modified bodies—influences bodies at the physical, material level by determining how they are treated in social interactions, in medical settings, and in public institutions. Communication about bodies also forges cultural consensus about what types of bodies fit in particular roles and settings. In addition to analyzing the stakes of communication about bodies, communication studies identifies bodies as communicating forces that cannot be accounted for by standards of reason, meaning, and decorum. Bodies are physical, material, affective beings that communicate because of, not in spite of, their messy, ineffable status. Moreover, communication is an embodied process that involves a range of material supports, including human bodies, technological bodies, and other nonhuman physical and biological bodies. Investigating bodies as communicating forces compels an understanding of communication that is not exclusively rational, meaning-oriented, and nonviolent.\nPrejudice is a broad social phenomenon and area of research, complicated by the fact that intolerance exists in internal cognitions but is manifest in symbol usage (verbal, nonverbal, mediated), law and policy, and social and organizational practice. It is based on group identification (i.e., perceiving and treating a person or people in terms of outgroup membership); but that outgroup can range from the more commonly known outgroups based on race, sex/gender, nationality, or sexual orientation to more specific intolerances of others based on political party, fan status, or membership in some perceived group such as “blonde” or “athlete.” This article begins with the link of culture to prejudice, noting specific culture-based prejudices of ethnocentrism and xenophobia. It then explores the levels at which prejudice might be manifest, finally arriving at a specific focus of prejudice—racism; however, what applies to racism may also apply to other intolerances such as sexism, heterosexism, classism, or ageism.\nThe discussion and analysis of prejudice becomes complicated when we approach a specific topic like racism, though the tensions surrounding this phenomenon extend to other intolerances such as sexism or heterosexism. Complications include determining the influences that might lead to individual racism or an atmosphere of racism, but also include the very definition of what racism is: Is it an individual phenomenon, or does it refer to an intolerance that is supported by a dominant social structure? Because overt intolerance has become unpopular in many societies, researchers have explored how racism and sexism might be expressed in subtle terms; others investigate how racism intersects with other forms of oppression, including those based on sex/gender, sexual orientation, or colonialism; and still others consider how one might express intolerance “benevolently,” with good intentions though still based on problematic racist or sexist ideologies.\nRachyl Pines and Howard Giles\nDance is a visual, socially organized form of communication. There are countless forms and styles of dance, each with its own criteria of excellence, with varying degrees of technical training ranging from classical ballet to krumping. This could, at times, lend itself to intergroup antagonism with the various genres of dance as subgroups. However, all types of dancers have the potential to identify with one another as sharing in the superordinate identity, dancer. Dance may be consumed as an artistic performance, or one can engage it as a participant—dancing as a professional, as a form of recreation, or as a form of self-expression. The processes of producing, consuming, and participating in dance as a spectator, choreographer, or performer are all intergroup phenomena. For example, a spectator of a performance learns something about the culture that produced this dance. With this there is potential for intergroup contact and vicarious observation with dancers and the various audiences. This can be powerful for changing attitudes and conceptions of different dance groups. The attitude change may occur as people are exposed to a culture presented as art instead of exposure to information via factual accounts such as textbooks or museums. Also, a spectator or consumer’s perception of the performance is informed by group membership. For example, some religious groups discourage dance because they believe it is a sin or evil. These groups, if exposed to a dance performance, will experience it much differently than members of other groups that encourage dancing and actively seek its viewing.\nIn sum, dance is a vehicle through which group membership and social identity can be expressed. As dancers perform they can, for instance, express gender and sexuality. As choreographers direct movements, they express their conceptions of gender through the dancers. And as spectators view the performance, they are shown something about gender expression. When it is used as a form of protest, as a cultural expression, or as a form of social innovation, dance can express social group membership.\nSexual orientation is a private matter that individuals can decide to disclose or conceal. Nevertheless, when interacting with others, people look for cues of sexual orientation. Hence, the person’s face, voice, or non-verbal behavior is taken as a cue revealing sexual orientation. As research on “gaydar” has shown, this detecting ability can sometimes be accurate or stereotype-based. Sometimes gay, lesbian, and bisexual people themselves intentionally communicate their sexual identity explicitly or through more subtle cues. Intentional or not, several cues are taken as communicating sexual orientation with the consequences of shaping interpersonal interactions.\nIdentifying someone as gay or lesbian has several implications. On the one hand, it leads straight men and women to non-verbally behave differently than when interacting with other straight individuals (e.g., more physical distance, more self-touching). On the other hand, it also affects verbal communication (e.g., topics of conversation, questions, and statements). The harshest consequence is hate speech and homophobic language. Research has shown that being labeled as “faggot” or “dyke” not only negatively affects those who are the target of such verbal derogation but also negatively impacts on straight bystanders. Indeed, gay and lesbian targets of homophobic language report a lower level of well-being and self-acceptance, while being exposed to such language increases prejudice toward gay men and lesbians among straight people. In the case of straight men, the use of homophobic language is often associated with identity self-affirmation and self-presentation. Interestingly, a recent trend among gay people has been noticed: they use homophobic labels among them as a form of “reclaimed language,” meaning that these derogatory terms are used with a different intent and reframed in a more positive way.\nMoreover, communicating sexual orientation can increase self-acceptance, social support, and positive social comparison among gay men and lesbians and can also increase positive attitudes toward gay people, especially when it happens with friends and family members.\nUnderstanding the role of gender in the newsroom involves tracing a shift from an initial consensus that women’s only journalistic role was to write with “a woman’s touch” about women, for women readers, to a claim that women should be allowed to produce the same “unmarked” news as men. The claim became that women’s forms—women’s sections or other materials intended for women audiences—represented professional ghettos, and that women were needed to produce better, more ethical journalism. That is, within the newsroom, gender was first dichotomized, rendering the interests of women and men as opposites, and then it claimed to be irrelevant. Feminist scholars point out that, over time, men have consistently tried to protect their status, jobs, and salaries, and have failed to acknowledge how journalism was set up as a male enclave with “macho” values and a culture that disadvantaged women, especially mothers, with its tradition of long and irregular hours and lack of childcare.\nResearch on gender and journalism can be divided into two categories: (a) gender “at work” in newsrooms (including opportunities or inequities in jobs, promotions, and salaries, as well as sexism), and (b) representations of women. Scholars often assume that the first issue over-determines the second. On both issues, research shows improvement, but also continuing problems. Now women journalists appear to be well established; the news includes issues associated with women’s quotidian concerns, and it takes women seriously. Yet a variety of gender divides continue to characterize journalism. Researchers find gendered patterns in coverage, especially in politics and sports. Women television journalists are routinely sexualized, and their high visibility in television broadcasting—through explicit scrutiny of their bodies, hairstyles, clothing, and voices—is countered by their invisibility in management. Gendered double standards and a glass ceiling continue to stymie the promotion of women to key decision-making and governance positions in print and broadcast news organizations. Moreover, women are far from enjoying equity in the online context.\nWomen continue to be concentrated in low-status media outlets and beats: they dominate community, small-town, and regional news organizations, and they produce “soft news,” human-interest stories and features. Men still dominate, although they do not monopolize, most of the high status areas of news production, particularly politics and business, as well as the lucrative and popular area of sports, a highly gendered and sexist domain. The most overtly gendered arena is war correspondence. Women who report on war and conflict are judged by very different standards than men. In particular, mothers are condemned when they go off to dangerous conflict areas, although fathers who cover war continue to be largely immune from public criticism. Women war reporters run a high risk of sexual violence and harassment, although women who have been sexually attacked rarely tell their supervisors—probably for fear of being pulled off an assignment.\nCountless platforms are now available to citizens to disseminate their views as citizen journalists, including blogs and Twitter; these provide opportunities for challenging gender roles and democratizing relations between men and women. On the other hand, social media threaten the business model of professional journalism; the resulting trend to part-time, freelance, and even unpaid work creates a precarious and potentially highly feminized labor force.\nE. Michele Ramsey\nGiven the impact of gender on health, healthcare decisions, and treatments for illness, as well as the increased inequities encountered by non-white men and women, messages about health and health risks are affected by purposeful assumptions about gender identity. While the term sex denotes the biological sex of an individual, gender identity is about the psychological, cultural, and social assumptions about a person associated with that person because of his or her sex. Gender and health are intimately connected in a number of ways, and such connections can differ based on race, ethnicity, age, class, religion, region, country, and even continent. Thus, understanding the myriad ways that notions of gender affect the health of females and males is fundamental to understanding how communicating about risks and prevention may be tailored to each group.\nGender role expectations and assumptions have serious impacts on men’s health and life expectancy rates, including self-destructive behaviors associated with mental health and tobacco use, self-neglecting behaviors linked to the reluctance of men to seek treatment for ailments, reluctance to follow a physician’s instructions after finally seeking help, and risk-taking behaviors linked to drug and alcohol use, fast driving, guns, physical aggression, and other dangerous endeavors. Because gender role expectations tend to disfavor females, it is not surprising that gender generally has an even greater impact on women’s health than on men’s. Even though biological factors allow women, on average, to live longer than men worldwide, various gendered practices (social, legal, criminal, and unethical) have serious impacts on the lives and health of women. From sex discrimination in research and treatment regarding issues linked to reproductive health, depression, sexual abuse, alcohol and drug abuse, the sex trade, and normalized violence against women (such as rape, female genital mutilation, forced prostitution/trafficking, and domestic violence), women’s lives across the globe are severely affected by gender role expectations that privilege males over females.\nWhile some general consistencies in the relationships between gender, women, and health are experienced worldwide, intersections of race, ethnicity, class, age, country, region, and religion can make for very different experiences of women globally, and even within the same country.\nThe recent years have seen an increasing call to reconsider the binary means by which we have defined sex and gender. Advances in our understandings of lesbian, gay, bisexual, intersex, and transgendered individuals have challenged traditional notions and definitions of sex and gender in important and complex ways. Such an important shift warrants a stand-alone discussion, as well as the recognition that sexual orientation should not be automatically linked to discussions of sex and gender, given that such categorization reifies the problematic sex/gender binaries that ground sexist and homophobic attitudes in the first place.\nLike members of many social identity groups, gay men within certain racial or ethnic groups (e.g., gay white men in the United States) generally share a sense of group entitativity that is characterized by the experiences of unity, coherence, and organization. Notwithstanding its members’ overall sense of entitativity, gay white male culture in the United States, specifically, has formed an array of diverse subgroups along dimensions such as physical attractiveness, musculature, masculinity, and age. These subgroup categorizations often are highly salient to individuals, and they frequently serve these gay men’s drive to self-enhance through intragroup comparisons. Given that many of these subgroups are well established, with members who share not only unique physical characteristics but also particular communication patterns and/or traditions that contribute to group stereotype formation, it is possible to consider communication and comparisons across these subgroups to be intergroup in nature as well.\nSocial psychological theory provides useful frameworks for understanding the intra-/intergroup dynamics among such subgroups of gay men. One framework is self-categorization theory. According to this theory, individuals engage in self-stereotyping. That is, they react to themselves and others not as unique individuals, but as members of a group who share common characteristics and have similar needs, goals, and norms. It is through such categorization that group members differentiate themselves from members of other groups or subgroups. Another framework, social identity theory, also sheds light on intergroup dynamics within the gay white culture in the United States. In line with this theory, gay men may cope with discrimination from the heterosexual mainstream through the adoption of one or more coping strategies. These strategies include leaving their group or changing negative values assigned to the in-group into more positive ones. Additionally, they may avoid the use of the higher-status heterosexual group as a comparative frame of reference, instead making downward comparisons with members of other gay male groups that they consider to be inferior in order to self-enhance. Of course, though not to achieve positive distinctiveness, members of lower-status groups also orient themselves in gay culture by making upward comparisons with members of subgroups they consider to be superior to their own. Again, these subgroup distinctions may include those based on physical attractiveness, musculature, masculinity, and age.\nHaley Kranstuber Horstman, Alexie Hays, and Ryan Maliski\nThe parent–child relationship is one of the most influential, important, and meaningful relationships in an individual’s life. The communication between parents and children fuels their bond and functions to socialize children (i.e., gender, career and work, relationship values and skills, and health behaviors), provide social support, show affection, make sense of their life experiences, engage in conflict, manage private information, and create a family communication environment. How parents and children manage these functions changes over time as their relationship adapts over the developmental periods of their lives. Mothers and fathers may also respond differently to the changing needs of their children, given the unique relational cultures that typically exist in mother–child versus father–child relationships.\nAlthough research on parent–child communication is vast and thorough, the constant changes faced by families in the 21st century—including more diverse family structures—provides ample avenues for future research on this complex relationship. Parent–child communication in diverse families (e.g., divorced/stepfamilies, adoptive, multiracial, LGBTQ, and military families) must account for the complexity of identities and experiences in these families. Further, changes in society such as advances in technology, the aging population, and differing parenting practices are also transforming the parent–child relationship. Because this relationship is a vital social resource for both parents and children throughout their lives, researchers will undoubtedly continue to seek to understand the complexities of this important family dyad.\nThe ACT2 Program and Eliminating Racial and Ethnic Disparities in HIV and AIDS Clinical Trials: A Case Study in Health and Risk Messaging\nMarya Gwadz and Amanda S. Ritchie\nIt is well documented that African American/Black and Hispanic individuals are underrepresented in biomedical research in the United States (U.S.), and leaders in the field have called for the proportional representation of varied populations in biomedical studies as a matter of social justice, economics, and science. Yet achieving appropriate representation is particularly challenging for health conditions that are highly stigmatized such as HIV/AIDS. African American/Black, and Hispanic individuals, referred to here as “people of color,” are greatly overrepresented among the 1.2 million persons living with HIV/AIDS in the United States. Despite this, people of color are substantially underrepresented in AIDS clinical trials. AIDS clinical trials are research studies to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of promising new treatments for HIV and AIDS and for the complications of HIV/AIDS, among human volunteers. As such, AIDS clinical trials are critical to the development of new medications and treatment regimens. The underrepresentation of people of color in AIDS clinical trials has been criticized on a number of levels. Of primary concern, underrepresentation may limit the generalizability of research findings to the populations most affected by HIV/AIDS. This has led to serious concerns about the precision of estimates of clinical efficacy and adverse effects of many treatments for HIV/AIDS among these populations. The reasons for the underrepresentation of people of color are complex and multifaceted. First, people of color experience serious emotional and attitudinal barriers to AIDS clinical trials such as fear and distrust of medical research. These experiences of fear and distrust are grounded largely in the well-known history of abuse of individuals of color by medical research institutions, and are complicated by current experiences of exclusion and discrimination in health care settings and the larger society, often referred to as structural racism or structural violence. In addition, people of color experience barriers to AIDS clinical trials at the level of social networks, such as social norms that do not support engagement in medical research and preferences for alternative therapies. People of color living with HIV/AIDS experience a number of structural barriers to clinical trials, such as difficulty accessing and navigating the trials system, which is often unfamiliar and daunting. Further, most health care providers are not well positioned to help people of color overcome these serious barriers to AIDS clinical trials in the context of a short medical appointment, and therefore are less likely to refer them to trials compared to their White peers. Last, some studies suggest that the trials’ inclusion and exclusion criteria exclude a greater proportion of people of color than White participants. Social/behavioral interventions that directly address the historical and contextual factors underlying the underrepresentation of people of color in AIDS clinical trials, build motivation and capability to access trials, and offer repeated access to screening for trials, hold promise for eliminating this racial/ethnic disparity. Further, modifications to study inclusion criteria will be needed to increase the proportion of people of color who enroll in AIDS clinical trials.", "label": "No"}
{"text": "HIV infection, by targeting a vulnerable piece of the virusA team of US Researchers have edged closer to developing a vaccine to guard against\nWashington: A team of US researchers have edged closer to developing a vaccine to guard against human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, by targeting a vulnerable piece of the virus.\nWhile most vaccines are actually made from the pathogen itself, employing weakened or inactivated organisms to stimulate antibody production, HIV is just too dangerous to use as the basis for a vaccine vehicle.\nThe researchers, Gail Ferstandig Arnold and Eddy Arnold, husband and wife duo and their team at Rutgers University have now been able to use the relatively innocuous cold-causing rhinovirus and attach the target portion of the HIV, reports IANS.\nArnolds and their team had previously been able to elicit effective antibodies, but only against a very limited number of HIV types.\nThis must be done in a way that maintains the HIV part’s shape so that when the immune system sees it, it will actually mount an immune response as it would to the real HIV.\nThe approach taken by the Arnolds and colleagues has been to identify a part of the acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS)–causing virus that is crucial to its viability–something the virus needs in order to complete its life cycle and then target this Achilles’ heel.\n“The part that we targeted plays a role in the ability of HIV to enter cells, and is common to most HIV varieties,” Arnold said. That is a mechanism that would not be easy for the virus to reinvent on the fly, so it turns out to be a really helpful target, he added.\nWith HIV’s known propensity to mutate, antibodies developed against one local strain may not recognise and combat mutant varieties elsewhere.\nThese geographic varieties with different mutations constitute one of the great challenges to finding a broad spectrum vaccine capable of protecting against HIV.\n“The idea is to trick the immune system into thinking it is acting upon HIV before the virus shows actually shows up on the scene,” Arnold said.\nTo actually accomplish this is a big problem in engineering. The goal was to take a small piece of the HIV out of its native context, put it in a completely different system (rhinovirus), and have it look the same and act the same.\nUsing recombinant engineering, the research team developed a method to systematically test millions of varied presentations of the HIV segment with the rhinovirus. They tried millions of different variations on how to graft (or splice) one onto the other, creating what are called combinatorial libraries.\n“It’s like the lottery… The more tickets you buy the better chance you have of winning,” Arnold commented.\nFriday, Feb 24th\nLast update:05:44:44 AM IST", "label": "No"}

In October, they traveled to New York to develop their CAP at the Global HerStory Summit. Their plan aims to assemble meetings with local girl advocates to educate them about the use of women in music and write letters to artists and media companies (including radio stations) asking them not to play songs that are hurtful or demeaning. They hope radio stations will think twice before playing damaging songs and people will be exposed to more positive messaging. In turn, girls will become more confident and feel empowered to attend university and work toward equality.\n“Going to New York [for GHS] was a really cool experience. I never thought I would go there,” recalls HerStory participant Rana (age 13). She and participant Larissa (age 10) had the opportunity to meet girls from many different countries and overcame language barriers by using gestures and an app that translated English to Portuguese. It was really special to watch their friendships transcend these hurdles.\nTheir time in New York left them feeling inspired as they traveled home to begin implementing their CAP in their local community. “I thought a lot on International Day of the Girl, watching my peers speak at the United Nations. I thought, ‘we have to follow this same model,'” Rana said.\nIn December, Larissa and Rana, along with their mentors Michele and Ivone, were invited to visit a local radio station to speak on-air and officially launch Girl Power. The girls described their experience traveling to New York and how powerful it was to watch other girls their age speak at the United Nations. They shared details of their Community Action Plan and invited listeners to visit their fan page to get updates. They also encouraged everyone to share the page so they could get more people involved.\nFebruary 28 is the start of Carnaval in Brazil and the girls have recruited a few local female artists to join their cause and write an original Carnaval song for the project. They look forward to the Woman Sound System Parade where another singer will make a video for the project.\nWhen asked what they want people to know about their Community Action Plan, the girls agreed that many of these songs are really harmful and change is necessary. Their hope is that girls will start to see past machismo and derive “their own self-worth from within.”\nContinue to follow the girls’ progress on all of the Global G.L.O.W. social media channels, or by subscribing to our email list.", "label": "No"}

{"text": "How to Deal With Bullies\nBullies come in all shapes and sizes, and most of us have to deal with them at one point or another.\nHowever, bullying is a serious problem, not only in schools- but also both in the workplace, home, the military, playground and even nursing homes.\nLuckily enough, this method also works for adults. Some cases have even been so serious that they have led to the victims committing suicide due to bullying.\n1, Know what kind of bully you are dealing with. What does he/she do to others, and how does he/she react with different situations?\n- Aggressive bullies are likely to abuse physically and without hesitation. Try to feel the inner strength you carry. Sometimes we think they can take everything we have as a person away from us. Believe that you are stronger than they are, because deep down you are stronger than they are and ever will be.\n- Taunting bullies are verbally abusive (calling names, making jokes, teasing, etc.).\n- Indirect bullies, sometimes known as Backstabbers, spread rumors, exclude others, and harass their victims whenever possible. Try to overcome the rumors: tell everyone it's not true and the bully just wants attention.\n- Cyber bullies harass other people through instant messaging, e-mail, and any other electronic means. The best way to deal with online bullies is to delete their messages and not read anything they say. Be sure to block the bully as well.\n2Work your way around the bullies. Try and avoid them in school and social situations. If they take the same route that you do, try a different way; if they can't find you, they can't bully you. Try your best to avoid them but don't show that you are avoiding them. They will usually read this as fear/success, and they will bully you more as a result. Always walk with a friend; there's safety in numbers.\n- 3Show minimal reaction to bullying. Do not show the bullies that you feel hurt if they do something that makes you uncomfortable; just walk away. Bullies gain satisfaction from making others feel hurt or uncomfortable, so reacting to them will only encourage them further. The bully wants attention and if you show them that they are emotionally hurting you, they will get more pleasure out of doing it.\n- This tactic may backfire depending on the bully, so read the situation carefully. Some bullies will feel safe tormenting you, (as they enjoy that action itself) if they see that you aren't suffering from their actions.\n- You cannot talk sense to an irrational person. Walk away with dignity, saying you have better things to do with your time. If it continues, stand up for yourself. If it continues or does not continue, be sure to stand up for others who are being bullied.\n- 4Do not make jokes at your own expense to try to prove that there is nothing they can do to hurt your feelings. This will only please them, and they will often chip in with their own ridicule and humiliation to lower your self-esteem.\n- 5Instead, reflect an insult back to a verbal attacker. If accomplished in public, this can elicit laughter from surrounding peers or victims at the bully's expense. This is a bully's worst nightmare, as they are de-throned from their position of power over you. Remember not to show the bully the attention they are hungry for, as this will allow the bully the pleasure of actually hurting others emotionally.\n- Avoid insulting the bully if they have a history of physically bullying you, since this instigates a conflict you can't win. Instead of exacerbating the situation, walk away. Report this to an authority figure if you believe you are in danger.\n- 6Report all bullying to an authority figure. Consider your parents, school guidance counselor, principal, boss, the police, or someone else who can deal with or punish the bully and protect your safety. It's important that you talk to someone about your problem to get it to end. Do not worry about revenge that the bully may take if you report the incident; they will hurt you anyway and appeasing them doesn't solve your problem or anyone else they are bullying. You could also go to tell a good friend- a good friend includes them standing up for you and you standing up for them aswell at times.\n- If there is a bullying survey in your school always write your name down. Do not be embarrassed. You will probably start to talk to someone who is very experienced and this can be surprisingly helpful. You might feel very small but in reality you are bigger then the bully.\n- 7Help others. Bullies are people who try to make themselves look good. All they want is attention and they have probably learned their bullying from home or friends. Take that away from them and they have nothing! Since you've experienced the problem, you know how it can hurt, so you can look better by being sure to help others! Try asking the bully why they pick on people. There is never a good answer to this question. If you don't want to ask the bully this, then force them into being uncomfortable, but make sure that your not bullying them.\n- 8Take Martial art lessons. Consider Karate, Kung Fu, Taekwondo or something that will give you the confidence and the ability to defend yourself and fight properly. It will also help you learn how not to appear to be an easy target.\n- Walk with a purposeful confidence and a 'don't you dare mess with me attitude.'\n- Be aware of your surroundings. Walk with your head up looking forward in the direction you are walking, use your peripheral vision to be aware of the people around you. No matter how untrue this is, act confident and stand tall.\n- 9Learn self defense. This is very important should you need to fight. You don't need a black belt, just tips on self-defense. Do so with all your strength, not reluctantly. A Tang Soo Do Self-defense class will teach you to do this.\n- A quick kick in the groin will make the person feel dazed and look embarrassed long enough for an escape. Bullies aren't always used to others getting the best of them.\n- If the groin doesn't work, try the solar plexus (right below the ribs), or kick a knee to make the person trip.\n- If the bully is grabbing you or pushing you, believe it or not, it's actually an advantage- Try REALLY hard to keep your balance, grab one their arms with your left hand and hit their elbow with the other, then using your other hand, push away the remaining arm.\n- Run, get to a safe place, and call for help.\n- 10Outsmart Them. Bullies usually aren't very smart or witty, so you can use this to your advantage.\n- Laugh at everything they say, and the worse the insult, the harder you should laugh. No faking! Try to think of it as something really funny and actually laugh. This is undeniably frustrating to bullies, because they want you to cry, not laugh. (Laughing so hard you cry probably doesn't count.)\n- Scream a quote at the top of your lungs to their face. You should only try this when they've tread on your feet or in general are doing something wordlessly annoying. There are many good things to quote, such as the first verse of JABBERWOCKY, songs that have been mostly forgotten, (\"I am I, Don Quixote, the Man of LaMancha\") or make up some of your own (\"I would like a dollar so I can buy a fish!\") . In this case, random is the key word. The bully might be so surprised that you can cause laughter or, at a minimum, get away. (If they think you're crazy, that's ok too!)", "label": "No"}
{"text": "In these multiple images of Bruce Willis, there are several nonverbal variations of the actor - including a pseudo smile, contempt, a sincere suppressed smile and and a true/sincere smile. In each of these five examples the wide angle of \"John McClane\" is pictured first and its cropped close-up of his eyes are below. In the image above (Willis No. 1), Bruce's mouth is asymmetric. With one-sided smiles, several scenarios should spring to mind: contempt, regret, a false smile (aka a fake or pseudo smile), a true but suppressed smile or a sincere smile just as it's beginning to form (or waning). Bruce's right nostril is dilated and his \"mustache area\" is tightened.\nLook at the close up of his eyes below. For a true smile to be present, the eyelids must be partially closed - which is present here AND there must be a prominent concave-up dynamic (temporary) furrow in the lower eyelid(s). This is not seen below. Thus this body language facial expression is one of contempt.\nWillis No. 2: Here, the Die Hard hero's mouth is not asymmetric - however the tilt & turn of his head/neck makes his mouth appear more one-sided. When we don't turn our head directly at the person at who our eyes are looking, it's a nonverbal indicator that they're either not liked (or worse), not trusted or not respected. Willis' eyelids (below) are very similar to the example in Willis No. 1. This smile is false and thus insincere.\nWillis No. 3: This example shows Bruce's mouth again asymmetric, but look at his eyes. The action actor's right lower eyelid (close up below) shows a classic concave-up dynamic furrow characteristic of a true, sincere smile. This same configuration of his left lower eyelid is not fully formed. This smile is true and being suppressed or in its early stages of formation - which could be differentiated with a viewing a video or witnessing this moment in real-time.\nWillis No. 4: The asymmetric mouth is slight here, and most likely in the midst of speech - which makes body language interpretation of this component difficult with out the dynamics of video. Below you can see the furrows present in his lower lids are superficial and not characteristic of a true felt smile of joy-happiness. Note his forehead though - a true & sincere smile NEVER has a contracted forehead. NEVER. This is a pseudo smile mixed with incredulity.\nWillis No. 5: Here Bruce Willis' body language shows a true and sincere smile indicative of joy-happiness. The downward camera angle and a slight laugh enables the view of his lower teeth - which are not present with a full sincere smile. However the lower choppers are present in the context of laughter or when the smile begins to fade.

Here are ten interesting facts about the U.S. presidency that should compel a non-voter to come out and partake in the election process:\n1 – The first non-establishment, non-elitist president was Andrew Jackson in 1828.\n2- All U.S. Presidents have been males and of Christian faith so far.\n3- The electoral votes allocated to each state can and do change from election cycle to another depending on population numbers reported by the census bureau.\n4- George Washington gave the shortest inauguration speech at 135 words. William Henry Harrison’s was the longest, at 8,445 words. The latter later died a month later of Pneumonia\n5- George Washington had to be lobbied to run for the presidency. In a response to one such lobby attempt by Alexander Hamilton he said: “It is my great and sole desire to live and die, in peace and retirement on my own farm.”\n6- Four times we had a president who did not win the popular vote: 1824 John Quincy Adam, 1876 Rutherford B Hayes, 1888 Benjamin Harrison, and 2000 George W Bush\n7 – The election of 1800 took 36 rounds of votes to decide Thomas Jefferson as president.\n8- Eight Presidents died while in office. Four were assassinated, and four others died of natural causes. Statistically speaking, there is about 18% chance that the next president of the United States will die in office, which makes it one of the deadliest, if not the deadliest, job there is.\n9- Reagan won 49 of the 50 states in 1984 elections, all but Minnesota.

{"text": "[WJMCR 4:3 June 2001]\nThis study suggests federal and state program assessment evaluations use a differential impact index to alert evaluators of the presence of a first-person or third-person effect that may result in major miscalculations. While the third-person effect hypothesis in communication has undergone considerable testing since it’s inception nearly three decades ago, this research is the first project to investigate an applied use for the concept. This study introduces a formula for calculating a differential impact index and demonstrates with an experiment using middle-school age students in a Drug Abuse Resistance Education (DARE) program that a third-person effect can produce a confounding variable into traditional program evaluations.\nThe DARE program, standing for Drug Abuse Resistance Education, is a widely implemented program in the United States for fifth grade students, and receives funds of $750 million dollars annually. However, critics say DARE has not been proven to be effective.1\nThe most recent basis for the criticism is a study conducted by the Research Triangle Institute. R.T.I. findings indicate that the DARE program has no effect in preventing drug use, although R.T.I. evaluation methods have been called into question.2\nAt the same time that the research into the DARE program is being challenged, research suggesting an improved method of program evaluation has emerged. This new method of program evaluation would attempt to eliminate threats to internal validity with the use of an index that would provide a basis for evaluating self-assessment data.\nThe index described above was suggested in earlier research into a concept known as the third-person effect.3 The third-person effect occurs when a person believes others are more influenced by a message than they themselves are influenced.4Studies indicate this denial of influence increases when the person believes it is socially undesirable to be influenced.\nThis phenomenon is problematic for evaluations of programs such as the DARE program, because the young people in the DARE program may be likely to see being influenced by a drug awareness program as socially undesirable. Therefore, by the very nature of the influence, young people in a DARE program are more likely to deny that the program had influenced them (and actually believe that the program had not influenced them), regardless of whether or not it had influenced them. Literature Review\nThe concept of the third-person effect first emerged in a 1983 study by Davison, in which he stated that the third-person effect occurs when people believe others are more affected by media messages than they themselves are, and that this assessment is an overestimation. Subsequent research into the third-person effect has found that, contrary to the traditional belief that communication has a direct persuasive impact on the audience, the audience’s perception of the form of the communication is vitally important.5Mutz noted: “[In regard to the third-person effect] the effect that the communication achieves is not due to any direct persuasive influence of the message itself, but rather to the behavior of those persons who anticipate, or think they perceive, some reaction on the part of others, and behave differently as a result.”6 According to Perloff7 and Cohen and Davis8, people react to communication depending on how they think other people understand the communication. In other words, peer pressure can be a powerful determinant in whether a person is likely to deny that a communication has had a persuasive impact on them. Thus, traditional self-assessment program evaluations may be less accurate when peer pressure is high.\nFurther studies have indicated that the level of third-person effect (level of the likelihood that a person will deny that a communication has had a persuasive impact on them) increases when a person believes it is socially undesirable to be affected by the communication.9\nBanning, 1997 notes:\nStudents involved in such a [DARE] program would probably not report that the program had affected them. This is because, among young people, there may be a negative stigma attached to persuasion by a police officer. Thus, if a greater third-person effect was created by the negative stigma of the message . . . the young people in a DARE program would be unlikely to report the program had affected them, regardless of whether or not it had affected them. Program evaluators should adjust their scores for the third-person effect. For example, DARE participants could be asked to rate how the program affected themselves and how it affected others. If a t-test indicated a significant difference between the two groups, evidence of a third-person effect, it could be concluded that the responses were not an accurate assessment of the DARE program’s effectiveness. Thus, checking for a third-person effect is a way of checking the validity of the evaluation. The presence of a third-person effect in evaluations indicates a lack of validity. Constructing a formula to adjust for the third-person could result in more valid program evaluations and a way of circumventing some of the traditional problems that self-reporting measures incur.10\nActually, a third-person effect is not the only evidence of an internal validity problem. Even if a person assumes a message effects him or her more than others the internal validity suffers. This is known as the first-person effect.\nA first-person effect occurs when a person believes a message has more of an effect on others than it has on him or her self. It is the reverse of the third-person effect and is therefore sometimes called the “reverse third-person effect”. Researchers say a differential impact occurs when there is an effect that is either a third-person effect or first-person effect. In other words a differential impact means an effect is present, but the direction is not specified.\nSignificant evidence of a differential impact, either a first-person effect or a third-person effect indicates an internal validity problem. For example, if a subject were asked whether the media has strong effects, the reply might be in reference to whether the subject was thinking in terms of others or themselves and whether the question elicited a differential impact. The traditional way of asking about the impact of messages (be they media or in regard to an intervention such as the DARE program) does not eliminate the possibility of confounding by the differential impact variable. Thus, instead of asking whether the media have strong effects, a researcher could ask a subject how much the subject believes the media have strong effects in relation to themselves and how much they believe the media have strong effects in relation to others. This use of specific questions would help identify the presence of a differential impact.\nThe purpose of this research is to demonstrate that adjusting for differential impacts may result in more reliable measurement instruments and more accurate measurements of a program’s effectiveness, in this experiment, for the DARE program. Accountability is becoming a common theme among federal and state governmental agencies as administrators attempt to maximize scarce resources. This accountability often takes the form of assessment of a program’s effectiveness. Where the product is an intangible, the assessment often depends upon self-assessment instruments. Thus, the funding of an effective program may rest on whether or not the instrument has accurately reflected the success of the program.\nUse of assessment instruments that are not sensitive enough to measure a program’s success may result in the elimination of federal or state funding for a successful program. Accuracy, a high level of validity, is crucial. Use of assessment instruments with a high level of sensitivity allows administrators to make better decisions, and can give taxpayers and funding agencies more confidence that resources are being allocated properly.\nResearch indicates the third-person effect may result in a lack of accuracy in assessment instruments. With the use of self-assessment tests that have questions built in and allow for researchers to measure and adjust for the level of the third-person effect, however, the accuracy of the tests could be greatly improved. This is especially likely in situations involving young people, where the third-person effect is likely to be high and self-assessments tests are likely to underestimate the influence of a program intervention. In brief, this research has the potential to raise the sensitivity of current program evaluation instruments.\nThe breadth of applications to which this research applies is expansive. There are immediate potential benefits to DARE programs and similar drug abuse prevention programs that use self-assessment evaluations to gauge success or failure of the intervention.\nSpecifically, determining whether DARE is effective is key in regard to decisions to keep DARE in place, or to retool and implement a new program. However, this application is just one of many potential uses of this research. Other potential benefits include the possible improvement of the gamut of university extension, state and federal program evaluation instruments that involve self-assessment instruments.\nThe primary goal of this research was not to evaluate the DARE program per se but to evaluate DARE program assessment tests. More specifically, the goal of the test was to develop and implement an instrument that can be used to evaluate whether the third-person effect influences traditional program evaluations. This, in turn, may allow for specific adjustments to be made based on the denial of program effects among respondents.\nThis leads to the formation of the study hypotheses:H1: The respondents will show a statistically significant differential impact between the set of questions which asks how much the students thought DARE had helped them stay off drugs and the set of questions that asks how much they believed DARE had helped other students stay off drugs.\nThis first set of questions pertains to how students perceive the DARE message’s effect on themselves and is referred to hereafter as the questions pertaining to “self.” The second set of questions pertains to how students perceive the DARE message’s effect on others and is referred to hereafter as the questions pertaining to “others.”H2: The respondents will show a third-person effect toward DARE officers.\nThe finding of a third-person effect has become the norm in studies measuring for the third-person effect. One researcher found that the third-person effect was found in 13 out of 14 studies reviewed .11 A more recent study of third-person effect research found that the third-person effect was present in 15 out of 16 studies reviewed.12 Furthermore, a 1995 study with adolescents found evidence of a third-person effect regarding drunk driving public service announcements because the subjects considered the subject “nerdy.”13 Therefore, it is consistent with previous research to predict that the differential impact predicted in H1 will be a third-person effect and not a first person effect.\nAs discussed earlier, the basic definition for the “third-person effect” is the phenomenon created by a person believing messages have a greater effect on others than on him or her self. Therefore, the operational method of defining the third-person effect in this study will be the same method used in many other third-person effect studies and is not unique to this research. In this study, a measure of the third-person effect is created by a number of “couplets,” paired questions in the questionnaire.The concept of using pairs of questions to come up with a third-person effect score seems to have originated with Davison and refined in a study by Cohen, Mutz, Price, and Gunther.14 Two other studies which used paired questions to come up with a third-person effect score specifically cite Cohen et al. as their source for this system.15 Previously cited third-person effect studies that have used paired questions to come up with a third-person effect score include Mutz , Perloff and Rojas et al. Two other methods for calculating the third-person effect have also been used. Tiedge, Silverblatt, Havice, and Rosenfeld16 used a system of three questions instead of two questions, and Lasorsa17 and Lometti, Ashby, and Welch18 coded open ended questions to arrive at third-person effect scores.The example given below illustrates the procedure that was used in this research.\nQuestion #1. How much do you think DARE has helped you stay off drugs?1 A LOT\n3 NOT MUCH\n4 NOT AT ALL\nQuestion #2. How much do you think DARE has helped others in the United States stay off drugs?1 A LOT\n3 NOT MUCH\n4 NOT AT ALLThis is a format based on the previously cited third-person effect studies by Cohen and Davis, and Gunther and Thorson. The respondent who checked a lower rank on the second question than on the first question of the couplet, has indicated a third-person effect, because he or she has indicated a belief that the program has had a greater effect on others than on him or her self. In the above example, the responses would first be reverse coded.As applied to this experiment, the presence of a third-person effect will be interpreted as problematic for the traditional interpretation of the data because of the danger that the resulting variance is being suppressed by the third-person effect. This is a threat to internal validity. In other words, the presence of the third-person effect is a red-flag that the data may not reflect, and may underestimate, the full effect of a program. In summary, the finding of a high level of the third-person effect score for the DARE evaluations would indicate the possibility that the third-person effect may be a suppresser variable, resulting in an underestimation of the actual effect of the program. Understanding the presence of the third-person effect as a suppresser variable in an evaluation allows the program administrators to better understand the results of their measuring instruments, and can allow them to better explain the results of the data and evaluate a program’s level of success.While demonstrating that a differential impact can call into question the validity of a program evaluation helps illuminate the problem, the solution requires additional conceptualization. The solution proposed in this research is: 1) the use of a standardized system of operationally defining a differential impact for comparison purposes, and 2) the reduction of differential impact levels to an index that can be used for cross study comparisons. The use of an index has not been used in previous third-person effect research and is presented here for the first time.The first step in the process is to run a t-test to determine if there is a significant difference between the two groups of scores. The proposed formula for determining whether the effect is a third-person effect or a first-person effect is as follows: How this would work with raw scores can be seen in the following: if the sum of the scores of the questions pertaining to “self” is 75, and the sum of the scores of the questions pertaining to “others” is 50, the differential impact level would be -25. The integer 25 gives some understanding of the magnitude of the difference, while the negative sign reveals that the differential impact is a first-person effect.Describing this example illustrates a minor problem with the use of this formula. While use of the formula reveals information about the score sets, the information is not easily compared to other findings. However, this can be accomplished with the use of the differential impact level index.The proposed differential impact index is as follows: (100 * |e|)/ The manner in which this would work with raw scores can be seen in the following: if the sum of the scores of the questions pertaining to “self” is 75, the sum of the scores of the questions pertaining to “others” is 50, and the differential impact level is -25, the index would be 33.333. Because the sign on the differential impact level was negative, we would have already determined that the differential impact is a first-person effect.In context with a differential impact index score of 33.333, we can say that the scores on the questions pertaining to “self” were 33.333% higher than the scores on the questions pertaining to “others.” If the sign on the differential impact level had been positive, we could say that there was a third-person effect in operation and that the scores on the questions pertaining to “others” were 33.333% higher than the scores on the questions pertaining to “self.” In summary, the differential impact index is the difference between the scores from the questions in the “self” and “others” groups. This is valuable tool for researchers in that it creates a shorthand method for explaining the magnitude of the differential impact findings in a study. A researcher could express the above index by saying a 33.333% first-person effect index had been revealed.\nThe instrument was administered to 119 fifth grade students at a medium sized Midwestern grade school. The group consisted of five classes which had recently completed a DARE program. The gender of the 119 subjects was about evenly divided, with 59 males, 59 females, and one respondent not reporting. Approximately 79% were white, 11% African-American and the remaining 10% a mixture of Mexican-American, Asian, Native-American, Puerto-Rican and others. Eighty-two percent of the respondents were eleven-years-old, 12% were ten-years-old and the remaining six percent were twelve-years-old.A t-test was run on the two groups of questions described previously. A significant difference was found at the .0001 alpha level, supporting H1, which stated: “The respondents will show a statistically significant differential impact between the set of questions which asks how much the students thought DARE had helped them stay off drugs and the set of questions which asks how much tstated that the differential impact would be a third-person effect.The differential impact index formula described earlier (100 * |e|)/sDiscussionThe fact that H1 was confirmed has implications for program evaluations in that it reveals how question wording can over or under inflate the apparent effect of an intervention. On the positive side, hope can be found in the use of the differential impact index introduced herein in that the level of differential impact on respondents can be measured. This is a valuable tool in understanding the psychology behind the statistics in program evaluations and interventions and in assessing whether the responses have internal validity.The fact that H2 was confirmed is interesting in that while the third-person effect is commonly found among adults 20, only one other third-person effect study 21 has included middle-school age subjects as part of the sample pool. As applied to the DARE program, the results show fifth graders in the study were more likely to see DARE affecting others and less likely to see it affecting them.If a program evaluator had surveyed the students, the results might have seemed point two different ways. If the survey asked the students whether they felt DARE was effective, more of the students would have been likely to say it was. However, if the students were asked whether DARE had affected them, the students would have less likely to say it had. This discrepancy in results could cause an under representation of the effectiveness of the DARE program. However, it is a discrepancy that can be explained by the third-person effect hypothesis, which says that people are more likely to think others will be more affected by a media message than they themselves are.\nThe third-person and first-person effects do seem to have an effect on how people assess a program, and this effect could skew results in an evaluation. Had this experiment not used the differential impact index our understanding of the numbers would have been much different. We might have concluded that the DARE program is very strong if we only looked at responses to the question which asked respondents how the DARE program affected others. We might have concluded that the DARE program is not as effective if we only looked at responses to the questions which asked respondents how the DARE program affected themselves.The question which now arises is what a high level of differential impact shows. On the one hand, it shows the presence of a confounding or suppressing variable that means a reduced level of internal validity for either set of responses mentioned the preceding paragraph. In the case of a real world program evaluation, such a high level of differential impact would necessitate either further testing to increase internal validity or very cautious treatment of the program evaluation results.On the other hand, if the differential impact level were found to be low, one could assume confounding variables pertaining to the third-person effect were not likely to be at work, internal validity could be assumed to be higher, and the program evaluation results taken more seriously. For example, a differential impact index of 0 would indicate high internal validity.Program evaluators should seriously consider using the third-person effect index as a way of gaining additional information about program evaluations and their internal validity. Calculation of the differential impact index requires only the sums of the scores from individual groups and not use of the complete database. Thus, in cases where the sums of the scores from individual groups is available, it would be possible to compute the differential impact index on past studies without access to their databases.On the other end of the spectrum, a minimalist approach requires little effort on the part of the program evaluator. A questionnaire with a set of two questions as described earlier and a repeated measures t-test will indicate if there is a significant differential impact between the two groups of questions. A significant difference would be a warning sign of the presence of internal validity problems related to a differential impact.Future research into what causes the third-person and first-person effects could also benefit program and intervention evaluators. When more is known about what variables cause the third-person effect and how those variables interact, the specific confounding and suppressing variables may be able to be identified, further increasing the internal validity of program evaluation instruments.In the past, researchers have looked at macro applications of the third-person effect. This research presents a very applied micro level application of the third-person effect and answers the question of why researchers should research the third-person effect. The answer is that the third-person effect research has real world applications and consequences in 51.034 = i\nAbout the Author: Stephen A.

{"text": "The Civil War put an end to slavery, and the civil rights movement put an end to legalized segregation. Crimes motivated by racism are punished with particular severity, and Americans are more sensitive than ever about the words they choose when talking about race. And yet America remains divided along the color line. Acclaimed scholar John L. Jackson, Jr., identifies a new paradigm of race relations that has emerged in the wake of the legal victories of the civil rights era: racial paranoia. We live in an age of racial equality punctuated by galling examples of ongoing discrimination-from the federal government’s inadequate efforts to protect the predominantly black population of New Orleans to Michael Richards’s outrageous outburst. Not surprisingly, African-Americans distrust the rhetoric of political correctness, and see instead the threat of racism lurking below every white surface. Conspiracy theories abound and racial reconciliation seems near to impossible. In Racial Paranoia, Jackson explains how this paranoia is cultivated, transferred, and exaggerated; how it shapes our nation and undermines the goal of racial equality; and what can be done to fight it.\nRacial Paranoia: The Unintended Consequences of Political Correctness.
