What is a 510 Error?
A 510 error, while not as commonly discussed as the infamous 404 or the dreaded 500 internal server error, plays a crucial role in the web development landscape. This error signifies that the server requires further extensions to fulfill the request. Essentially, it's the server's way of telling the client that more actions need to be taken by the requester to complete the request.
Understanding the 510 error is crucial for software developers and IT professionals because it intersects directly with how web applications communicate with servers. It's an indication that the server understands the request but lacks the necessary capability to fulfill it without additional client action.

What Are the Possible Causes for 510 Error
The 510 error typically arises in situations where the server is configured to demand further extensions from the client. This can result from several scenarios, including but not limited to:
 - Missing client-side configurations: The client's request might lack required information or settings that the server expects for processing.
 - API versioning conflicts: If the server supports multiple versions of an API, a request might be made to a version that requires additional features not included in the client's current setup.
 - Server misconfiguration: In some cases, the server might be improperly configured, mistakenly requiring extensions or conditions that are not necessary.
How to Handle 510 in JS
Handling a 510 error in JavaScript (JS) involves detecting the error response from the server and implementing a strategy to manage or rectify the situation. Here's a basic approach using fetch API for making HTTP requests:
fetch('<_URL_
 .then(response => {
 if (response.status === 510) {
 // Handle the 510 error
 console.log('510 Error: Further action required.');
 // Implement your strategy here, e.g., request additional user input, adjust request headers, etc.
 } else {
 // Process the response as usual
 return response.json();
 }
 })
 .catch(error => console.error('Fetch error:', error));
This snippet demonstrates the importance of robust error handling in modern web development, ensuring applications can gracefully manage unexpected server responses.
Best Practices for Using 510 Status Code
Employing the 510 status code effectively requires adherence to best practices that enhance the communication between client and server. Some of these practices include:
 - Clear communication: When a server returns a 510 error, it should also provide a clear explanation of what additional actions the client needs to take. This might involve returning a message in the response body or specifying which headers are missing or require modification.
 - Documentation: For APIs that might return a 510 error, documenting the potential triggers and resolutions for this error can significantly aid developers in handling it efficiently.
 - Client-side flexibility: Ensure your client-side application is designed to handle 510 responses gracefully. This could involve user prompts for additional information or automatic adjustments to requests based on server feedback. Continuing from where we left off, let's delve into the subsequent sections, focusing on testing the 510 status code both with Postman and within Chrome's DevTools. Additionally, we'll introduce a Frequently Asked Questions segment to provide quick, insightful answers to common queries about the 510 status code.
How to Test 510 Status Code on Postman
Postman is a popular tool for API testing that allows developers to simulate requests to web servers and view responses. Testing a 510 status code in Postman involves configuring a request that you know will trigger this specific response from the server. Here's a step-by-step guide:
 1. Set Up Your Request: Begin by setting up your request in Postman. Enter the URL of the API endpoint that you're testing.
 2. Configure Request Details: Depending on what triggers the 510 error in your server, you might need to set specific headers, query parameters, or body content that are missing or incomplete according to your server's expectations.
 3. Send the Request: Click the "Send" button to make the request to the server.
 4. Analyze the Response: If your server is correctly configured to return a 510 error under the tested conditions, you should see a 510 status code in the response status. Additionally, any server-provided messages explaining the reason for the 510 error will be displayed in the response body.
This process is invaluable for developers seeking to ensure their web applications properly handle all potential server responses, including those requiring further client action.
How to Test 510 Status Code in DevTools Browser in Chrome
Testing how your web application handles a 510 status code directly in the browser can provide insights into the user experience during such errors. Chrome's DevTools offers a way to simulate and debug these scenarios:
 1. Open Chrome DevTools: Right-click on your web page and select "Inspect" or use the shortcut Ctrl+Shift+I (Windows/Linux) or Cmd+Opt+I (Mac) to open DevTools.
 2. Go to the Network Tab: The Network tab shows all the network requests made by your page. You might need to refresh your page to see all the requests.
 3. Trigger the Request: Perform the action on your webpage that triggers the request known to result in a 510 error.
 4. Locate the Request: In the Network tab, find the request that resulted in a 510 status code. Click on it to view the details.
 5. Review the Details: In the Headers or Response tabs for the selected request, you can examine the specifics of what was sent and received. This helps in understanding how your application or website reacts to and handles the 510 response.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can a 510 error be caused by client-side issues?
A: Yes, while a 510 error indicates server-side configuration requirements for further action by the client, it can be triggered by client-side issues such as incorrect API calls, outdated client software, or missing request headers.
Q: Is it necessary to handle 510 errors in web development?
A: Absolutely. Properly handling 510 errors ensures a robust and resilient web application that can gracefully guide users through necessary actions or adjustments.
Q: How can I prevent 510 errors?
A: Ensuring your client and server configurations are up-to-date and correctly implemented is key. Additionally, clear documentation and communication between client and server developers can prevent misconfigurations that might lead to 510 errors.
Q: Are there tools to help debug 510 errors?
A: Yes, tools like Postman for API testing and browser developer tools (like Chrome DevTools) are invaluable for debugging and testing how your application handles 510 errors.
Q: Can 510 errors affect SEO?
A: Directly, no, because they relate to server and client configuration rather than content. However, indirectly, if a 510 error prevents access to content, it could impact user experience, which is a factor in SEO rankings.
Conclusion
The 510 error, signaling that further extensions to the request are required by the server, highlights the complex interplay between client requests and server configurations in web development. Understanding, handling, and testing for this error are essential skills for software developers and IT professionals aiming to create seamless, resilient web applications.

Policies relevant to NHS funded knowledge and library services
NHS Library and Knowledge Services in England Policy
The NHS Library and Knowledge Services in England Policy was approved by the Health Education England Executive on the 29th November 2016.
The policy sets out our approach to delivering on the key objective of enabling access to knowledge and evidence for healthcare decision makers.
In the policy Health Education England commits to:
- Developing NHS library and knowledge specialists to use their expertise to mobilise evidence obtained from research and organisational knowledge to underpin decision-making in the National Health Service in England
- Enabling all NHS workforce members to freely access library and knowledge services so that they can use the right knowledge and evidence to achieve excellent healthcare and health improvement
- Developing NHS library and knowledge services into a coherent national service that is proactive and focused on the knowledge needs of the NHS and its workforce
Recommendations to improve the staff ratio
The NHS Knowledge and Library Services in England published its'recommendations to improve the staff ratio for the number of qualified library and knowledge specialists per member of NHS workforce policy' in November 2019.
The NHS requires proactive knowledge services as business-critical instruments of informed decision-making.
Currently there is significant variation in the ratio of qualified library and knowledge specialists to healthcare staff.
This leads to inequitable service provision across England and the Service is not uniformly able to draw on evidence for decision-making.
By introducing a recommended staff ratio Health Education England is enabling individual organisations to identify and address that risk.
This policy makes a set of recommendations through which trusts and arm's length bodies may look to ensure, and where necessary continuously build, improved staffing levels.
- To optimise the benefits for the NHS of the emerging new roles for librarians and knowledge specialists, HEE recommends that all NHS organisations:
- review regular reports of the positive impact of the library and knowledge service on outcomes
- work with the local library service manager to prioritise allocation of clinical librarian, knowledge manager and other embedded roles to specialities
- take incremental steps to improve the staff ratio between qualified librarians and knowledge managers per member of the NHS workforce, through role redesign and by expanding this specialist workforce
- HEE recommends that over time, all NHS organisations aspire to achieving a much-improved staffing ratio.
- HEE recommends that those NHS organisations with a staffing ratio in the region of the current average of 1 qualified librarian to 1,730 or more healthcare staff, strive to achieve a ratio of at least 1 qualified librarian or knowledge specialist per 1,250 WTE NHS staff.
- HEE commits to monitoring the staff ratios annually and to reviewing the recommended ratio in three years' time.
Organisations are invited to contact their regional HEE Knowledge and Library Services Lead for support [email protected].
Learning space within NHS Knowledge and Library Services in England
Published on 4th January 2021
There are two key recommendations in the policy:
- The library study and wellbeing space should be available to all staff, educators and learners both during and outside the working hours of the knowledge and library services team.
- The library service space should be developed, managed by the knowledge and library services staff, to ensure value through enabling organisational innovation, and meeting the changing needs of healthcare staff, learners and educators in relation to study and reflection, health and well-being, collaboration, and as a technology hub.
Focus on library space for:
- Self-directed learning: reflection and private study
- The best place to work: health and wellbeing
- Collaborative working and learning
- Digital skills and innovation: technology hub
Psychological support for embedded librarians
Published on 4th January 2021
There are three recommendations:
NHS organisations ensure that the psychological well-being of librarians and knowledge specialists working in clinical environments is considered.
NHS organisations extend existing arrangements for the multi-disciplinary team to include clinical librarians and knowledge specialists.
Access to psychological wellbeing services provided within the organisation is highlighted to embedded librarians and knowledge specialists working in clinical environments.

Bioethics News
Striking a Balance
By Peter Young
In April of this year, the Berman Institute and Johns Hopkins Hospital Ethics Committee held its monthly Ethics for Lunch case presentation focusing on how to manage patients who make racist, sexist, and otherwise offensive comments. The discussion, moderated by Dr. Joseph Carrese, featured panelists who have experienced racism/sexism in the clinic, and it allowed audience to gain insight from their perspectives.
During the discussion, there was mention that minority patients in an in-patient setting cannot choose their own doctor based solely on race, because Hopkins' practice is to pair the best doctor with a patient's medical needs. I was a bit confused how minority patients not being able to choose race-based concordance in an in-patient setting fits into the larger, nation-wide conversation of minority groups wanting safe spaces. For example, some argue the race of the physician affects the quality of care, and when the provider and patient's race align, the provider can speak better to certain beliefs, religious practices, nutritional knowledge, and cultural norms. Also, there may be even subtler, yet equally important benefits of having your provider look like you, especially in our current political climate. This includes patient-compliance as well as the potential for less polarizing power dynamics in the provider-patient relationship.
Scholars like Dr. Dayna Bowen Matthew, author of Just Medicine and professor at University of Colorado, might argue that if a white, middle-class person tells an intercity, minority person to take their medication, that patient may be less likely to adhere.

Effective, Affordable Varicose and Spider Vein Treatment in Miami!
Varicose veins are large, bulging blood vessels. They usually develop in the legs and can be seen through the skin. Spider veins are delicate red or blue veins on the skin's surface that appear like tiny spider webs. They are a minor form of varicose veins and can be a precursor to the development of a more unsightly variation. Both varicose and spider veins result when valves designed to keep blood running backward away from the heart fail to function properly—creating a backwash which stretches veins and causes swelling. Thankfully, they can be removed without ruining circulation to the affected area. Abella Heart offers its patients the most effective varicose and spider vein treatment in Miami, Doral, Kendall, Homestead, and South Maimi.

Chile: Reduction in the volume of fresh blueberries exported is less than projected
The Office of Agrarian Studies and Policies published the figures that describe the export of Chilean blueberries between January and October of this year.
There are 90.645 tons of fresh blueberries that have been exported from the country, for a value of USD FOB 360 million. Compared to the same period during 2021, the volume decreased by 6% while the value of exported fresh blueberries fell by 26,72%.
It should be noted that during September and October Peru reaches its maximum production levels. Therefore, the October prices partly reflect the large supply that exists in the market given the arrival of the Peruvian blueberries harvested during September to the main markets.
Regarding the volume produced, its reduction still does not reach what was projected by the Chilean Blueberry Committee, who forecast a drop of 8% in the export of fresh blueberries.
The above figures place the blueberry as the fourth most exported fresh fruit in Chile.
The first place is held by cherry. Until October, 285.000 equivalent tons have been exported for USD FOB 1500 million. Its volume increased by 7,3%, while the value of the fruits sent abroad grew by 26,3%. Chile is the leading exporter of cherries in the southern hemisphere, with a market share of 95,7%.
Cherry is followed by table grape and apple, in second and third place respectively.
Given the increase in production costs for exporting fresh fruit and the logistical problems of past seasons, many producers have decided to export their blueberry production as a frozen product.
Between January and October of this year, 48.086 tons of frozen blueberries were shipped, 8.6% more than in the previous period. Regarding the value, it increased by 26,1% reaching USD FOB 130 million.
These results coincide with the projection made by the Blueberry Committee, who expected that part of the producers dedicated to the export of fresh blueberries during the past year, would dedicate themselves to sending frozen fruit during this season.
The total export of blueberries, in all its formats, decreased by 1,21%, sending 149.412 tons abroad for USD FOB 654 million. The total value of blueberry exports decreased by 14.82%.
In 2021, the most productive regions were Maule, Ñuble, Araucanía and O'Higgins, as can be seen in the table that compares the volumes and values exported in the period January-October 2021 and 2022.
Already with the course of this season, changes in the productivity of the main producing regions can be observed.
The O'Higgins region exceeds Ñuble compared to the same period last year. Ñuble, a region located to the south of O'Higgins and Maule, decreased the volume exported by 10,4%, the value of which fell by 36.8%. At the same time, O'Higgins increased its production by 27,1%, reaching 15.059 tons. This increase in production is reflected in the value of the total shipped, which rose by 11,4%.
The Biobío region has also surpassed Araucanía so far this season. This is due to the large drop in the production of fresh blueberries in the latter region, which reached 43.2%.
La Araucanía is located in the south of Chile, where agro-industrial activity has been affected by protests through acts of violence, in the context of the conflict of the native Mapuche people.
It should be noted that of the regions that register an increase in the volume of fresh blueberries exported, only two of them also agree with a positive percentage variation with respect to the value of the total of that production: O'Higgins and Coquimbo. In the rest of the regions studied, the value of what was exported between January and October 2022 decreased compared to the same period in 2021.
Traditionally, the cultivation of blueberries in Chile has occurred in the center-south of the country. However, the table allows us to show the growth of production in the north, specifically the Coquimbo region.
Although the volume is still small compared to the rest of the zones, its growth rate until October reached 44%. This region is located on the southern edge of the Atacama Desert, where temperatures are warmer throughout the year and Low-Chill or No-Chill varieties can be grown. The value of what was exported during the same period increased by 26%.
You can find more information about the state and progress of the Chilean blueberry industry in the XXV International Seminar Blueberries Consulting Chile 2023. We bring together prominent businessmen, leaders, producers, suppliers, researchers and academics specialized in blueberries, and on this occasion, as a guest grower of cherries, on April 13 at the Monticello Conference Center.

Protecting Yourself from the Liabilities of Others - Risk Management
Using signage, contracts, and waiver agreements are among the steps you can take to effectively manage your business risks.
It is important to involve a lawyer when protecting your business against the liabilities of others. A lawyer will review contracts and keep your best interests in mind. Be aware that although waivers and hold harmless agreements might be effective to deflect liability, there is no substitute for prudent and reasonable due diligence.
4 Steps to Effectively Manage Risks
 1. Use signs. They can warn people of hazards, provide information and possibly prevent losses. Do not rely on signs alone to deflect liability. Be sure to:
 1. Keep signs simple and easy to understand
 2. Make sure signs are placed in visible areas
 3. Use universally recognized symbols
 4. Ensure sign sizes and colours are appropriate and visible
 5. Use all common languages.
 2. Use contracts. A contract must be legally enforceable, so consider that:
 1. Both parties must intend to create a legal relationship
 2. There has to be an offer – a promise to buy/sell/exchange a good or service of value – that is subject to a condition
 3. There must be an acceptance
 4. Both parties to the contract must receive something of value. For example, a person who leases his or her premises receives money for the rental and the person who is leasing the property receives use of the property, as set out in the contract
 5. Both parties must have the capacity to contract. Special considerations exist for minors, intoxicated persons, mentally challenged persons and bankrupt persons
 6. The contract must be legal. For example, a contract to purchase stolen goods or perform other illegal acts is not enforceable. Contracts that are contrary to public policy or public interest may also not be enforceable
 7. Certain contracts must be in writing to be legally enforceable, such as those that concern the sale of land and that last for a period of longer than one year.
 3. Use waivers and hold harmless agreements.
 1. A waiver is a clause that states that users, customers, etc., waive their right to make a claim or sue the waived company for a specific activity.
 2. Hold harmless and indemnifying agreements are usually clauses in contracts or agreements where one party agrees to protect the other party from legal action arising out of the contract or agreement.
 3. Waivers and hold harmless agreements may deflect and transfer liability if they are properly worded.
 4. Always obtain legal advice when drafting waivers or hold harmless agreements.
 5. Use consent forms if waivers cannot be used.
 4. Require insurance certificates. An insurance certificate should be required from people and organizations that you enter into agreements with or who supply products and services to you. Consult your insurance representative for guidance. Generally, if you are at risk for the actions of someone who is performing a service for you, then that person should provide an insurance certificate.
 1. An insurance certificate is proof of insurance coverage, but it can also confer certain rights to the certificate holder.
 2. A certificate contains all the relevant information that a contracting party might need to know about the other's insurance.
 3. If someone requests this of your organization, forward the request with all the relevant information to your insurance representative, who will issue the certificate.
A Primer on Insurance Certificate Terminology
Many business contracts will stipulate that insurance confirmation is required. You should forward requests for insurance certificates to your insurance representative. When reviewing an insurance certificate, always confirm that it lists your organization as an additional insured. Be aware of key terms such as:
 - Cross-liability clause
 - Notice of cancellation clause
 - Coverages and limits
 - Effective dates
 - Operations
Remember to get new certificates before the old ones expire. Keep old insurance certificates indefinitely, just as you would your own insurance policies.

Human trafficking resource for high schools
Our human trafficking resource has been created specifically for high school students in New Zealand. The resource provides an overview of human rights, human trafficking and modern day slavery. It has been designed to comply with level five curriculum requirements for social sciences in New Zealand, including the following achievement objectives:
- Understand how cultural interaction impacts on cultures and societies.
- Understand that people move between places and how this has consequences for the people and the places.
- Understand how people define and seek human rights.
The goal is to have this resource taught at all schools in New Zealand. We encourage people to learn about human trafficking, download a human trafficking resource, meet with the school principal or a dean of social sciences at a school in their community and advocate for this resource being taught in year 9 and 10 social science classes.
What to do with the high school resource on human trafficking
- Download and print the resource from our website
- Organise a meeting with the principal of head of department ("HOD") for social sciences in a school you are connected to or that is in your community
- At the meeting, give the principal/HOD the resource and tell him/her WHY it is essential that human trafficking is taught in schools
- Organise a follow-up meeting with the principal/HOD two weeks later to see whether the resource is being implemented
- Email us at _EMAIL_ and let us know how things went so we can improve it and get it more widely dispersed

We have evaluated for the first time the Detective Quantum Efficiency of 2 imaging detectors which
are used for Crystallography. Crystallography is the science of determining the arrangement of
atoms within a crystal from the manner in which a beam of usually low energy (8-17.5 keV)
monochromatic X-rays is scattered from the electrons within the crystal. There is a growing
consensus in the scientific world that the Detective Quantum Efficiency (DQE) is the most suitable
parameter for describing the imaging performance of an x-ray imaging device. The DQE describes
the ability of the imaging system to preserve the Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) on the way from the
radiation field emerging from the very fine and practically monochrome x-ray beam through the
various imaging system components up to the 3-dimensional crystal image.
Normally the DQE of x-ray systems is based on the effective energy of the x-ray beam and the x-ray
dose as measured with a dosimeter. Typical dosimeters are not very accurate at low x-ray energies
which are used in Crystallography. We used an x-ray spectrometer to determine the x-ray photon
Values of DQE at low spatial frequency were at about almost 80 % at 8 keV.


Metacontroller is an add-on for Kubernetes that makes it easy to write and deploy custom controllers. Although the open-source project was started at Google, the add-on works the same in any Kubernetes cluster.
While custom resources provide storage for new types of objects, custom controllers define the behavior of a new extension to the Kubernetes API. Just like the CustomResourceDefinition (CRD) API makes it easy to request storage for a custom resource, the Metacontroller APIs make it easy to define behavior for a new extension API or add custom behavior to existing APIs.
Simple Automation
Kubernetes provides a lot of powerful automation through its built-in APIs, but sometimes you just want to tweak one little thing or add a bit of logic on top. With Metacontroller, you can write and deploy new level-triggered API logic in minutes.
The code for your custom controller could be as simple as this example in Jsonnet that adds a label to Pods:
// This example is written in Jsonnet (a JSON templating language),
// but you can write hooks in any language.
function(request) {
 local pod = request.object,
 local labelKey = pod.metadata.annotations["pod-name-label"],
 // Inject the Pod name as a label with the key requested in the annotation.
 labels: {
Since all you need to provide is a webhook that understands JSON, you can use any programming language, often without any dependencies beyond the standard library. The code above is not a snippet; it's the entire script.
You can quickly deploy your code through any FaaS platform that offers HTTP(S) endpoints, or just load your script into a ConfigMap and launch a simple HTTP server to run it:
kubectl create configmap service-per-pod-hooks -n metacontroller --from-file=hooks
Finally, you declaratively specify how your script interacts with the Kubernetes API, which is analogous to writing a CustomResourceDefinition (to specify how to store objects):
kind: DecoratorController
 name: pod-name-label
 - apiVersion: v1
 resource: pods
 - {key: pod-name-label, operator: Exists}
 url: _URL_
This declarative specification means that your code never has to talk to the Kubernetes API, so you don't need to import any Kubernetes client library nor depend on any code provided by Kubernetes. You merely receive JSON describing the observed state of the world and return JSON describing your desired state.
Metacontroller remotely handles all interaction with the Kubernetes API. It runs a level-triggered reconciliation loop on your behalf, much the way CRD provides a declarative interface to request that the API Server store objects on your behalf.
Reusable Building Blocks
In addition to making ad hoc automation simple, Metacontroller also makes it easier to build and compose general-purpose abstractions.
For example, many built-in workload APIs like StatefulSet are almost trivial to reimplement as Metacontroller hooks, meaning you can easily fork and customize such APIs. Feature requests that used to take months to implement in the core Kubernetes repository can be hacked together in an afternoon by anyone who wants them.
You can also compose existing APIs into higher-level abstractions, such as how BlueGreenDeployment builds on top of the ReplicaSet and Service APIs.
Users can even invent new general-purpose APIs like IndexedJob, which is a Job-like API that provides unique Pod identities like StatefulSet.
Complex Orchestration
Extension APIs implemented with Metacontroller can also build on top of other extension APIs that are themselves implemented with Metacontroller. This pattern can be used to compose complex orchestration out of simple building blocks that each do one thing well.
For example, the Vitess Operator is implemented entirely as Jsonnet webhooks with Metacontroller. The end result is much more complex than ad hoc automation or even general-purpose workload abstractions, but the key is that this complexity arises solely from the challenge of orchestrating Vitess, a distributed MySQL clustering system.
Building Operators with Metacontroller frees developers from learning the internal machinery of implementing Kubernetes controllers and APIs, allowing them to focus on solving problems in the application domain. It also means they can take advantage of existing API machinery like shared caches without having to write their Operators in Go.
Metacontroller's webhook APIs are designed to make it feel like you're writing a one-shot, client-side generator that spits out JSON that gets piped to kubectl apply.
In other words, if you already know how to manually manage an application in Kubernetes with kubectl, Metacontroller lets you write automation for that app without having to learn a new language or how to use Kubernetes client libraries.

The purpose of this study was to describe how Complete High School Maize (CHSM) students describe their high point learning experiences. The study also described how CHSM students describe their dreams for effective learning. A qualitative case study research design was used to facilitate an AI Learning Team in the first two stages of the 4-D Cycle—Discovery and Dream. Eight CHSM students, four males and four females, were purposively selected as the AI Learning Team (Cooperrider, Whitney, & Stavros, 2003; Ludema, Whitney, Mohr, & Griffin, 2003). Data collection methods included: participant group discussions, semi-structured participant paired interviews, and participant created documents, participant generated video, and a participant created presentation for district administrators. Data were analyzed using several techniques: content analysis, open coding, axial coding, text analysis software, and pattern matching with the use of a content analysis matrix.
Careful attention was made to ensure that the quality of the research addressed trustworthiness in terms of credibility, transferability, dependability, and confirmability throughout my study. Four salient findings emerged: (1) CHSM students believe that they need other experiences built into their class work, (2) CHSM students believe students and teachers respect rules, students talk with teachers, and people help each other, (3) CHSM students want to create a better learning environment that mixes fun with academics, and (4) CHSM students believe that the students and teachers are a family and common activities are important.
The findings from this study suggest that further research with AI in educational settings may have important implications to inspire educators to think in new ways about learning. AI as an action research methodology can be used to inform teacher practice and impact the effectiveness of the teaching and learning process. As well, the use of AI as a theoretical perspective with its positive approach can contribute to best practices in teaching where changes in a teacher's own pedagogical practice leads to excellence in education.

An accelerated test model is derived by testing the item of interest at a normal stress level and also at one or more accelerated stress levels. Extreme care must be taken when using accelerated environments to recognize and properly identify those failures which will occur in normal field use and conversely those that are not typical of normal use. Since an accelerated environment typically means applying a stress level well above the anticipated field stress, accelerated stress can induce false failure mechanisms that are not possible in actual field use. For example, raising the temperature of the test item to a point where the material properties change or where a dormant activation threshold is exceeded could identify failures which cannot occur during normal field use. In this situation, fixing the failure may only add to the product cost without an associated increase in reliability. Understanding the true failure mechanism is paramount to eliminating the root cause of the failure.

Heliodyne is a leading manufacturer of quality solar water heating equipment for residential and commercial applications. Committed to making thermal solar energy the most environmentally sound and cost-effective source of energy, Heliodyne manufacturers a variety of solar water heating products, including the Gobi line of solar plate collectors and Helio-Pak heat transfer appliances.
An important component of a solar water heating system is the controller. In order to operate efficiently, a solar water heating system requires a controller to monitor the system, read the sensors and signal the pumps when to turn on and off. In early versions of Heliodyne's systems, the products could only provide basic control functions such as an on/off switch, timers and resisters that react to temperature readings to turn on/off a relay.
Approximately 1 1⁄2 years ago, Heliodyne decided to engineer a more advanced control to provide greater functionality and enable more complex heating systems. As part of this new system, Heliodyne selected the RabbitCore® RCM5450W core module for network connectivity and intelligent control. The RCM5450W provides control of the printed circuit board (PCB) with relays, stubs, and sensor inputs and outputs, and also provides communication to the network via Wi-Fi. This allows Heliodyne's customers to remotely monitor and manage their solar water heating systems by connecting to Heliodyne's servers via the Internet.
"We are currently the only American manufacturer to offer remote energy monitoring and control," said Mike Starkey, lead engineer, Heliodyne. "The Rabbit products are super easy to use and enabled us to offer an advanced program and controller that gives us something truly unique in the market."
Remote Monitoring From Anywhere
The RCM5450W enables customers to communicate with the Heliodyne systems from anywhere an Internet connection is available. Customers connect the Heliodyne systems to their networks via Wi-Fi. The systems can then collect and send data back to Heliodyne's server for easy remote access. People can simply access data from a webpage to monitor performance and make any necessary changes. This provides improved system reliability and efficiency, and makes system maintenance easy.
"The newer system is nice for homeowners in consumer applications," Starkey said. "Customers can go online and easily see that the system is working and change system parameters from a familiar interface."
The remote monitoring functionality is also a key benefit to installers and utilities. The level of reporting and detail provided by the system makes it easier for utilities to monitor energy savings and encourage sustainable energy consumption via rebate programs. It also allows installers to enhance their businesses by enabling performance based billing models and improves customer service.
"Installers can go online and see from a glance if the system is having any problems," Starkey added. "They can then download an Excel file with the necessary details and generate proactive emails to their customers."
RCM5450W Reduces Development Time by 50 Percent
In addition to creating a competitive advantage, Heliodyne found the RCM5450W to be extremely easy to use. Because the RCM5450W featured all of the necessary web libraries, an embedded web server and FCC certifications, Heliodyne could concentrate on other aspects of the product design leaving the wireless networking and control portion with Rabbit.
"If I had to write all these interfaces it would've been at least twice as much work," Starkey said. "All that CGI stuff was taken out of our hands through the RabbitWeb libraries and embedded web server. It was pretty much design a Web site and put in a few variables, and we were up and running. It saved us a lot of time."
Heliodyne deploys approximately 1,000 Rabbit products per year and is committed to a long-term relationship. In addition to being easy to use, Heliodyne also finds the Rabbit products extremely reliable and the sales and support staff knowledgeable and friendly.
"While we haven't had to use them very much, tech support has always been very quick to respond," Starkey concluded. "We definitely have invested in Rabbit's microcontrollers and have been very pleased with the relationship."
"The Rabbit products are super easy to use and enabled us to offer an advanced program and controller that gives us something truly unique in the market."

Counting Fields in a Delimited String (or Words in a String)
String Manipulation
Gavin Bollard
Version Compatibility: Visual Basic 6, Visual Basic 5
More information:
This routine was written when I was handling a series of comma delimited files (of varying sizes). I used the vb line input statement to read a line from the file into memory, and needed to be able to determine how many fields (separate data items were in it).
For example - the following string contains four fields (this routine would return a 4).
Roger Wilco, 02 9805 9809, Space Fleet Headquarters, Janitor
Since sentances are delimited by spaces, this routine could also be used to count the number of words in a string (by passing a single space as a delimiter).
This is especially useful for VB5, because in VB6 you can do a similiar thing with fewer lines of code using the Split function.
Instructions: Copy the declarations and code below and paste directly into your VB project.

Komatsu to exhibit 20
Komatsu will exhibit a 20-ton-class electric hydraulic excavator equipped with a lithium-ion battery system for the first time at bauma2022. The machine is powered by a 451 kWh lithium-ion battery system from US-based Proterra. Since January 2021, the two companies have been jointly developing electric medium-sized hydraulic excavators, and have been conducting PoC (Proof of Concept) tests on advance research machines at customers' construction sites.
20-ton class electric hydraulic excavator
The machine is scheduled to be introduced to the Japanese and European markets in FY2023.
Hydraulic excavators are the most versatile type of construction equipment, and the mid-size class, in particular, is used in a wide range of jobsites and applications, mainly in earth excavation and loading operations, requiring power and durability to withstand heavy-load work.
This model optimizes the entire body control system by capitalizing on Komatsu's proprietary coordinating technology. It specifically integrates Proterra's lithium-ion battery technology which has a proven track record for use in heavy-duty and commercial vehicles deployed in various fields around the world, with Komatsu's components, such as the hydraulic pump, controller, and electric motor for work equipment operation.
In addition, Komatsu has developed a robust cage structure to provide additional protection onboard the vehicle for its battery packs. As a result, Komatsu has achieved digging performance and durability equivalent to those of engine-driven hydraulic excavators. The high energy onboard the excavator's Proterra Powered battery system enables operation for up to 8 hours when fully charged.
The electric power makes it possible to work comfortably in various work environments without worrying about noise and exhaust emissions, and is expected to be used for work in urban areas and nighttime construction work, etc. The zero engine vibration will also help reduce operator fatigue.

They were introduced illegally and threatened with being eradicated but now they are thriving.
More than 150 European beavers, which have lived in Tayside for at least nine years, are "well adapted" to modern Scotland and free of harmful diseases, Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH) revealed yesterday.
However, it said a new study also showed beavers building dams and burrowing into flood banks could drench farmland, a situation which would have to be tackled if the beavers were to be allowed to stay.
The success of the mammals, which were hunted to extinction in Scotland 400 years ago, could signal their official reintroduction. This is because SNH said ministers will have to decide either to keep them or remove them.
The Tayside beavers could force the Scottish Government's hand because appeasing farmers with damage mitigation work is likely to be more politically acceptable than a likely public outcry if they were to be eradicated once more.
The Tayside animals, originally from Germany, are believed to have escaped or been released from private collections.
They are found in rivers ranging from Kinloch Rannoch, Kenmore and Crieff to Bridge of Earn, Perth and Forfar. The thriving colonies have also overshadowed an official beaver trial, at Knapdale, west of Lochgilphead in Argyll, which was launched with 16 arrivals from Norway in 2009.
That got off to a faltering start, with only half surviving, but numbers have since remained stable despite a high number of young beavers dying. However, experts said the project was not intended to be self-sustaining.
Ministers gave the Tayside beavers a stay of execution three years ago pending the Knapdale trial but will have to decide their fate after SNH submits a final report next month. SNH said the biggest concern among farmers had been on the lower River Isla flood plain where it meets the River Tay, south of Blairgowrie.
It said: "Any beaver dams left in place here could cause the extensive network of drainage ditches to fail, causing flooding and interfering with cultivation of productive land.
"Beaver burrows in earth flood banks also increased the risk of a breach and flooding of the farm land behind.
"A number of methods to protect trees from being gnawed and felled and to reduce water levels behind dams were trialled successfully.
"The impacts of burrowing in flood banks and regular damming of drainage networks were more challenging to manage."
SNH Tayside and Grampian area manager David Bale, who chaired the Tayside Beaver Study Group, said: "Our work documenting the impacts of beavers on land management interests has shown that in many situations, beavers are likely to cause few concerns.
"But if they were to be permanently reintroduced, efficient, effective and affordable ways of managing and reducing potentially significant impacts on intensively farmed land and other interests would have to be found."
Farmers' leaders said beavers should not be given protected status. NFU Scotland spokesman Andrew Bauer said: "We believe that already-stretched SNH species management budgets cannot cope with the high costs of managing what many call 'nature's engineer'.
"Beaver reintroduction would divert resources and attention away from helping indigenous species, such as the wildcat and capercaille that are under threat."
The use of electric shock collars for dogs which inflict deliberate pain on the animals is on the increase, campaigners warned yesterday.
Animal welfare campaigner Siobhan Garrahy has lodged a petition at Holyrood calling on MSPs to urge the Scottish Government to outlaw the collars, which critics say are cruel and unnecessary.
To date Scottish ministers have repeatedly resisted calls to follow the example of the Welsh Assembly, which outlawed the use of the devices in 2010, and ban the collars.
She said: "From a professional point of view I'm seeing an increase in the use of them for various different reasons and I don't know why. The thing that I would like to do is try and put a cap on that so that they don't become more popular. As it stands just now it's still relatively small numbers in the grand scale of things, but what we do want to do is just get the message out to dog owners that these are inhumane, they are painful, their very design is to be aversive and there is an alternative."
Ms Garrahy said the use of the collars is poorly regulated and warned that the devices could be increasingly misused to inflict serious harm on animals.
She said: "We believe that electric shock collars don't have the governance they should have, there's very poor legislation for them. They cause psychological distress, severe anxiety, emotional harm and displaced aggression, and there is an alternative with positive reinforcement and appropriate training that doesn't deliver via cruel methods. There are several dangers with electric shock collars, some of which are that the remote collars or the shock collars can fall into the hands of children who find amusement in shocking pets for no reason because they're too young to know better. There's also the danger of the collars being misused by cruel people who take pleasure in hurting animals. The collars have been known to cause burns on pets and severe disfigurement, and shock collars can be misused by putting them on other animals."

With just two weeks to go, OneKind takes a look at the General Election manifestos to see what commitments are being made for animals.
The good news is that most parties do make some mention of animal welfare, and some already have longstanding policy commitments. But there are, it seems, many different views of what animal welfare really means …
The parties within the devolved administrations – such as the Scottish Greens, Scottish Labour and Scottish Liberal Democrats make little reference to animal welfare in their Westminster manifestos. This is probably because these parties deal with animal welfare at the devolved level – and so for fairness we have removed them from this analysis. We do however include the independent parties SNP and Plaid Cymru who would otherwise not be represented.
The Labour Party was first into the race in February with a dedicated Animal Welfare Manifesto. Labour pledged to review the rules on breeding and selling dogs and cats, ban wild animals in circuses, end the badger cull, defend the Hunting Act, reduce animal cruelty on shooting estates and – like several other parties – lead the fight against global animal cruelty.
Labour intends to review the practice of snaring, although it stops short of pledging a ban. Regarding shooting estates, a Labour government would "undertake an independent review" on how to end the illegal persecution of birds of prey, such as the hen harrier; prevent non-target animals getting trapped in snares; and ensure the humane treatment of game birds.
Labour says it would lead international efforts to combat illegal wildlife crime and would push to end all commercial whaling, and prevent the poaching and near extinction of endangered species such as elephants, rhinos and tigers.
The main Labour Manifesto reprises the animal welfare pledges:
"We will build on our strong record on animal welfare – starting with an end to the Government's ineffective and cruel badger cull. We will improve the protection of dogs and cats, ban wild animals in circuses, defend the hunting ban and deal with wildlife crime associated with shooting."
The Conservative Party manifesto sends out a mixed message on welfare. There are a number of detailed and specific commitments, such as a ban on the use of wild animals in circuses, but also a commitment to foxhunting and to upholding the use of non-stun slaughter in UK slaughterhouses.
"The quality of the food on your plate, and the economic security of our farmers, depend on us upholding the highest standards of animal welfare. We will push for high animal welfare standards to be incorporated into international trade agreements and into reform of the Common Agricultural Policy."
"We will ban wild animals in circuses and press for all EU member states to ensure that animals are only sent to slaughterhouses that meet high welfare standards. We will encourage other countries to follow the EU's lead in banning animal testing for cosmetics and work to accelerate the global development and take-up of alternatives to animal testing where appropriate."
On slaughter: "We want people to integrate fully into British society, but that does not mean they should have to give up the things they hold dear in their religion. So while we will always make sure the Food Standards Agency properly regulates the slaughter of livestock and poultry, we will protect methods of religious slaughter, such as shechita and halal."
The Conservatives also declare their commitment to tackling the illegal international wildlife trade and ending the poaching that kills thousands of rhinos, elephants

TsAGI scientists develop new turbulence model
22 December 2017
Experiments are an important component of aircraft design. But often aerodynamic experiments are often replaced by computational simulation. This saves time and resources at the preliminary stages of work. Scientists of the Zhukovsky Central AeroHydrodynamic Institute (TsAGI, a member of the National Research Center "Zhukovsky Institute") are actively engaged in the development of computational methods. Among the recent results is the development of new turbulence models — the equations systems that describes turbulent gas flow — the methods to determine the turbulence influence of gas flow) for aerodynamic design of civil aviation equipment.
Young TsAGI specialists are the authors of the development and were awarded an annual prize in the field of science and innovations from the Governor of the Moscow region. The scientists set out to develop turbulence models, which would improve computational accuracy compared with standard models. This is a significant step to minimize errors when comparing a wind tunnel experiment and a numerical simulation.
The scientists used for their work the application program package EWT-TsAGI (an Electronic Wind Tunnel). It was developed at the Institute to research in computational aerodynamics. An important result was the turbulence modeling. In particular, the model can be used in jet stream flow analysis. The end results are for one of the modifications of the Russian regional Sukhoi Superjet aircraft.
An annual prize in the area of science and innovation for young scientists from the Governor of the Moscow region is awarded for outstanding scientific or technological achievements and their practical application, ensuring the promotion of innovation in the economy and the social sphere.

Question: I'm meeting with my divorce lawyer, what should I bring with me?
Answer: When meeting with an attorney, it is wise to bring with you any documentation that substantiates, or proves, your claim.
If you are meeting with your attorney to discuss property matters in your divorce, bring documents that demonstrate what assets you own. This could include deeds to real estate, titles to motor vehicles, financial statements for retirement accounts, bank statements, copies of insurance policies, and copies of appraisals. Also bring with you documents evidencing debts, such as mortgage statements, credit card statements, utility bills, and other loan documents.
Once your attorney establishes what assets and debts are involved, she will need to know whether these items are marital, separate, or mixed. Therefore, it is a good idea to bring with you any documentation affecting claims to the property. You should have your attorney review relevant prenuptial agreements, wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and liens.
Bring to your attorney copies of tax returns, w-2s, 1099s, and other income verification documents. These will be relevant for purposes of dividing debts and assets, and awards of spousal support and child support.
If child custody and parenting plans are contested, bring documents relevant to those issues. For example, medical and school records of the child, photographs, social media posts, and emails or texts between you and the other parent may all affect parenting-related claims.
LEGAL NOTICE: The above is not legal advice, and does not create an attorney-client relationship with Neyra, Mize & Associates. Your own situation should be reviewed and analyzed by an attorney.

Waterfowl GPS Observations in North America from 2015 to 2023 for Custom Wildlife Report Example for Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge
To effectively manage species and habitats at multiple scales, land managers require rapid information on wildlife use of managed areas and responses to landscape conditions and management actions. Global positioning system (GPS) tracking studies of wildlife are particularly informative to species ecology, habitat use, and conservation. Combining GPS data with administrative data, would more comprehensively inform how animals interact with and utilize habitats and ecosystems. Our goal was to create a conceptual model for a system that would accomplish this - the 'Automated Interactive Monitoring System (AIMS) for Wildlife'. Our first objective was to develop a Customized Wildlife Report (CWR) - the first AIMS for Wildlife deliverable product. To do this we compiled an 8-year GPS tracking dataset avifauna. This dataset is intended to be used to recreate the Custom Wildlife Report Example for Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge for 2017.

ATP1B4
(redirected from ATPase, Na+/K+ transporting, beta 4 polypeptide)
ATP1B4
A gene on chromosome Xq24 that encodes an enzyme belonging to the family of Na+/K+ and H+/K+ ATPases, which, while found in all vertebrates, has lost its ancestral function as a Na,K-ATPase beta-subunit in placental mammals (in which it interacts with the nuclear transcriptional coregulator SKIP); it may be involved in regulating TGF-beta signalling during muscle development through its interaction with SNW1.

Incorporating evolutionary principles into environmental management and policy
As policymakers and managers work to mitigate the effects of rapid anthropogenic environmental changes, they need to consider organisms' responses. In light of recent evidence that evolution can be quite rapid, this now includes evolutionary responses. Evolutionary principles have a long history in conservation biology, and the necessary next step for the field is to consider ways in which conservation policy makers and managers can proactively manipulate evolutionary processes to achieve their goals. In this review, we aim to illustrate the potential conservation benefits of an increased understanding of evolutionary history and prescriptive manipulation of three basic evolutionary factors: selection, variation, and gene flow. For each, we review and propose ways that policy makers and managers can use evolutionary thinking to preserve threatened species, combat pest species, or reduce undesirable evolutionary changes. Such evolution-based management has potential to be a highly efficient and consistent way to create greater ecological resilience to widespread, rapid, and multifaceted environmental change.

Scotland's Battlefields Inventory completed
20 December 2012
The initial stage and development of Scotland's Inventory of Historic Battlefields has been completed.
A total of 39 sites have now been officially recognised since the Scottish Historic Environment Policy was amended to include battlefields in 2009 to help in their protection and management for the future.
The battlefields added to the Inventory in the most recent batch are: Blar-na-Leine (1544); Dunbar I (1296); Dunkeld (1689); Glen Livet (1594); Inverlochy I (1431); Langside (1568); Loudoun Hill (1307); Roslin (1303); Sauchieburn (1488); Skirmish Hill (1526) and Tippermuir (1644).
Battlefield sites which do not meet the criteria on the basis of current knowledge or which have not yet been considered, could be added in future if new evidence comes to light.
Research was carried out to determine the significance and location of the country's most famous battles and these were considered in three batches over the last three years.
Cabinet Secretary for Culture and External Affairs Fiona Hyslop said:
"It is a real achievement that we have managed to research so many of Scotland's most famous battles to the extent that we can provide a level of protection to 39 battlefield sites. This will ensure that their history and significance is considered in any planning application within an Inventory site.
"The interest in protecting battlefield sites from across the country has been immense and continues. The consultation in 2008 generated more responses from the public than any other Historic Scotland policy at that time.
"Introducing this first Inventory of Historic Battlefields acknowledged this high level of public interest and support for giving lasting recognition to places where lives have been lost, even where no other commemoration has existed.
"Our historic battlefields draw tourists from all over the world and also represent a huge educational resource. Through them we can understand the evolution of Scotland and learn about key historical figures and their role in shaping our culture."
Inclusion in the Inventory means that local authorities must take the site's significance into consideration when making planning decisions that might affect the battlefield.
A total of 50 sites have been researched and consulted on for inclusion in the Inventory. Historic Scotland commissioned the Centre for Battlefield Archaeology to carry out the work.
Dr Iain Banks and Dr Tony Pollard at the Centre for Battlefield Archaeology carried out the research and are in contact with some groups who had hoped their local site would be included but could not.
Dr Iain Banks said:
"The Inventory of Scottish Battlefields is the first time that Scotland's iconic battlefields have been given any protection, and it has been a privilege to be involved in the creation of the Inventory. These sites preserve the last traces of historical events that shaped the nation of Scotland through history, and there is no substitute for visiting the battlefields for understanding what happened in each battle.
"The battles of Scottish History have been preserved in legends, poems and songs, and they are a unique resource to get visitors to explore the Scottish landscape.
"What we have found when researching the battlefields is that there is never any difficulty in persuading people of the importance of a particular site; the most difficult job has been explaining why individual battlefields have not made it onto the Inventory. We have been really astonished at the high levels of enthusiasm for the preservation of battlefields at the local level – people are fascinated by them and want to see them preserved."
The Cabinet Secretary added:
"As the Inventory has legal weight the criteria for inclusion are very strict and there are some famous battles could not be included.
"The new research carried out by the Centre for Battlefield Archaeology and Historic Scotland means that there is now a better understanding of all the battles considered, even if they did not ultimately make it into the Inventory."
The Inventory was officially launched at Killiecrankie Battlefield in Perth on July 27th, 2009 following public consultation in 2008.
This identified potential sites for research which were considered in three phases. The first 17 to be put on the Inventory were announced in December 2010 and launched as the Inventory in March 2011; 11 more were added in December 2011 and the final 11 announced today.

- Research was carried out on 50 sites, 11 of those considered did not make it onto the Inventory because they failed to meet one of more criteria for inclusion. The sites were: Aberdeen II (1644), Athelstaneford (832), Bordie (1038), Carberry Hill (1567), Carrieblair (date unknown), Dun Nechtain (685), Glen Trool (1307), Largs (1263), Methven (1306), Mons Graupius (83) and Solway Moss (1542).
- Each inventory report describes the battlefield and the reasons for its inclusion. These include a summary of the battle and its historical context, and a brief indication of its importance in relation to historical association, physical remains, and archaeological potential. The inventory map indicates the extent of the battlefield, defining the overall area of interest. It includes the area where the main elements of the battle are believed to have taken place, where associated physical remains and archaeological evidence occur or may be expected, and where additional landscape components such as strategic viewpoints may lie.

=== Tips ===
If you have a separte DHCP that you do '''not''' want to install LTSP on you can just redirect the thin-client to boot off a different server.
In your DHCP server's dhcpd.conf:
{{{next-server 192.168.0.3;
}}} where 192.168.0.3 is the address of your LTSP server
Thin Client How-To
What is a Thin Client?
To the user, a thin client behaves like a regular desktop computer. To the administrator, a thin client has no storage of it's own, is easy to maintain, and can give the user a modern computing experience even with ancient hardware.
How do thin clients work?
-- Basic answer --
Thin clients load a small operating system into memory then connect to the server. The programs run on the server but are displayed on a thin client's screen.
-- Advanced answer --
Boot phase (described from the point of view of the thin client machine): A thin client may either obtain a kernel from local storage, or load the kernel across the network. (Using these instructions, you will collect the linux kernel from the server using a bootable network card. This way, the thin client needs no more storage than the boot rom built into a bootable network card.)
- Boot sequence -
The PXE network card makes a DHCP request on the local network. The DHCP reply gives information to the card where to collect the linux kernel from. The kernel is collected over the network through the TFTP protocol.
Once the kernel has been collected via TFTP, the kernel is executed; the machine boots linux. A initramfs collected with the linux kernel is mounted as a root file system. This carries and autodetect the necessary drivers for the network card, mouse, keyboard sound etc. Once the network card driver is loaded, a second DHCP request tells the client it's ip address, netmask, gateway, DNS server, and root NFS (Network File System) mount point.
The linux kernel runs the ubuntu initramfs, which mounts the root NFS share from the server onto the thin client read-only. The thin client now has a booted linux kernel, and a root file system, much like any Linux system. From now on, when we talk of the root file system on the client, we are actually talking about a root file system mounted read-only from the server. The root file system mounted by the thin client is not be the same root file system the server itself uses, but is specially prepared for thin clients, and is shared by all thin clients connected to the server (located in /opt/ltsp/<arch> on the server) . The initramfs calls the init program, the Xserver settings are autodetected and the ubuntu breezy ltsp login manager, called ldm is started.
- X nuts and bolts -
After logging in, ldm starts a ssh tunnel and executes a X session on the server which is displayed through the tunnel on the thin clients X server. Using ssh here has the big advantage that you dont need to have a Xserver configured on the client and no unsafe tcp X transport is initialized like it was done in older days of ltsp.
Requirements
You will need:
 - An Ubuntu 5.10 system to be the server
 - At least one PXE-bootable system to be a client
 - A bunch of disk space
 - A fast network connection, or a local Breezy mirror, or some patience
 - A DHCP server which is capable of supporting PXE clients, or a separate network segment where you can run a dedicated DHCP server
 - Command-line familiarity
 - A sense of adventure
 - A burning desire to send feedback to [_EMAIL_ ubuntu-devel]
Getting Started
NOTE: If you plan to use the server as gateway/nat/firewall machine, it is strongly suggested to configure all the network interfaces before proceeding with the following steps.
 1. Set up the DHCP server
 - If you have an existing DHCP server which can support PXE clients:
 - Configure it to pass a boot filename of /ltsp/pxelinux.0 and a root path of /opt/ltsp/i386
 - For ISC DHCPD, use the following options:
 filename "/ltsp/pxelinux.0";
 option root-path "/opt/ltsp/i386";
 - Install ltsp-server on the server: {{{sudo apt-get install ltsp-server
}}}
 - If you want to run a dedicated DHCP server on the thin client server:
 1. Install ltsp-server-standalone on the server: {{{sudo apt-get install ltsp-server-standalone
}}}
 1. If necessary, customize /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf (by default it's configured for a server at 192.168.0.1 serving PXE clients)
 2. If you are running a firewall on the server, you'll need to open TFTP and NFS (and DHCP if you're running the standalone server). Also, make sure portmap isn't limited to the loopback interface in /etc/default/portmap (comment out the line with "-i 127.0.0.1") if it exists, could be a leftover from Hoary. You also may want to edit '/etc/hosts.allow' and limit access for portmap, rpc.mountd, rpc.statd, and in.tftpd to the local network: {{{portmap: 192.168.0.0/24
rpc.mountd: 192.168.0.0/24 rpc.statd: 192.168.0.0/24 in.tftpd: 192.168.0.0/24}}}
 1. Restart the nfs subsystem: {{{sudo invoke-rc.d nfs-kernel-server restart
sudo invoke-rc.d nfs-common restart sudo invoke-rc.d portmap restart}}}
 1. Build the thin client runtime environment: {{{sudo ltsp-build-client
}}}
 - This script is hardcoded to use a particular Ubuntu mirror, so you may wish to edit it if you have a nearby mirror or CD (sudo ltsp-build-client --mirror file:///cdrom), remember to copy sources.list from the server into the chroot)
 - If you changed your aptitude dependency-settings not to select recommended packages automatically, not all required packages will be downloaded and installed by this script. Then no login with sdm is possible for example because some parts of the x-server are missing
 1. {{{apt-get install openssh-server
sudo ltsp-update-sshkeys}}} Check /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts and ensure that your host key is associated with your host's IP address. Depending on your /etc/hosts configuration, this may not always be correct automatically (yet). If it looks like this:
servername ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAABI...
then add the IP address like this:
servername,192.168.0.1 ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAABI...
AND file a bug in [_URL_ Bugzilla]. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN.
 1. {{{sudo invoke-rc.d dhcp3-server start
}}}
 1. Optionally, create /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/lts.conf. If you don't create one, reasonable defaults and auto-detected values will be used.
 2. PXE boot the client and see what happens. If all goes well, you should see a graphical login dialog.
 3. If your client doesn't have PXE on the network card, you can generate a custom boot CD or floppy at [_URL_ ROM-o-matic.net]. Burn the iso or floppy image and boot from that.
 4. Log in, with any user authorized to login remotely via ssh, and see what happens. If all goes well, you should get a working desktop session on the server.
 5. Send mail to [_EMAIL_ ubuntu-devel] with your findings
Tips
If you have a separte DHCP that you do not want to install LTSP on you can just redirect the


Invigilator Research Network
The Invigilator Research Network is a working group of artist/invigilators seeking to illuminate and complicate relationships between labour conditions, hierarchies, institutional practices, surveillance mechanisms and arts economies.
IRN's members regularly exploit and interrogate their wage-labour day jobs for the benefit of artistic practices. As professional art-observers, paid to watch and be forever vigilant in the presence of art, IRN activities manifest relationships between artwork, capital, and artworking. Explorations span multiple (and multiplying) platforms including academia, activism, fine art practices, fashion and live events.
IRN's explicit aim is to make tangible the links between invigilation, art making, pay-per-hour and a neoliberalised cultural sector. Considering the artist as a networked thinker, IRN aims to raise questions surrounding the meaning of creating and consuming in an age of insecurity, economic and cultural polarisation and opportunity.

Nutritional Information about Farmer Cheese
Q: What is farmer cheese, and why does it have little or no calcium?
A: Also known as dry curd cottage cheese or baker cheese, this soft cheese is made from milk that is cultured (to curdle it) and then pressed to separate out the liquid whey, leaving behind the solid curds. It has little or no calcium because the calcium drains away with the liquid. So, too, does most of the lactose (milk sugar), making it a good option for people with lactose intolerance.
In effect, farmer cheese is just cottage cheese that is pressed to remove most of the moisture. (Cottage cheese has more calcium because it retains more of the liquid.)
An ounce (two tablespoons) of farmer cheese has about 40 to 50 calories (compared to 75 to 130 in most cheeses), 2 to 3 grams of fat, 3 grams of protein and little cholesterol. It has half the calories and less than one-third the fat of regular cream cheese. Farmer cheese has less sodium than other cheeses—about 120 milligrams per ounce; no-salt-added versions are also available.
There are many variations, made from different milk sources (cow, sheep, goat) and with different textures and flavors. But the cheese is generally mild and moist, yet still dry enough to slice or crumble. You can use it as a substitute for cream cheese, ricotta or feta cheese in recipes; sprinkle it over salads; or spread it on bread.
