How Nvidia's AI Security system saved supercomputer data centre operator $300,000 an hour and stopped it being hacked by bitcoin desperadoes
Downtime is so expensive to a super computer operator that a network failure can cost it a million dollars in lost productivity in half a day.
So a new level of artificial intelligence, which predicts and prevents operational issues, prevents network failures and catches hackers early, can instantly pay for itself.
Processing giant Nvidia has unveiled a new artificial intelligence (AI) driven security system, which aims to minimise downtime in InfiniBand data centres using analytics to detect anticipate problems.
The NVIDIA Mellanox UFM has been used to manage InfiniBand systems for a decade. It applies AI to learn a data center's operational cadence and network workload patterns. Drawing on this knowledge of both real-time and historic telemetry and workload data it can create a baseline of what is normal and acceptable. It then tracks the system's health and network modifications, and detects performance degradations, usage and profile changes.
In June Nvidia added today a third element to the UFM family, the UFM Telemetry platform. This tool captures real-time network telemetry data, which is streamed to an on-premises or cloud-based database to monitor network performance and validate the network configuration.
This means the new system can spot abnormal system and application behaviour. It can also predict potential system failures and nip these threats in the bud by taking corrective action.
Supercomputers are often targets of high value system hacking by sophisticated crooks attempting to host undesired applications, such as cryptocurrency mining. The result is reduced data center downtime — which typically costs more than $300,000 an hour, according to research by ITIC.
The UFM Cyber-AI system allows system administrators to instantly detect and respond to potential security threats and prevent failures. This saves a fortune and provides the continuity of service that keveryone in a job, according to Gilad Shainer, senior vice president of marketing for Mellanox networking at NVIDIA.
'It determines a data centre's unique vital signs and uses them to identify performance degradation, component failures and abnormal usage patterns," said Shainer.
Douglas Johnson, association director of the Ohio Supercomputer Center, has used the UFM platform for years in his employer's InfiniBand data centres. 'UFM and the expertise from the Mellanox networking team have been fundamental ingredients in the management of our network and the stability we've achieved,' said Johnson.
The UFM Cyber-AI platform complements the UFM Enterprise platform, which manages networks, performance and security.
D-Link introduces new fever-screener technology to identify over heating staff in the COVID-19 crisis
Camera maker D-Link has launched a new spy-cam which can take the temperature of everyone in the office and report on who looks a bit peaky.
The new Group Temperature Screening Camera, DCS-9500T, is an all-in-one intelligent fever screening kit with a dual-lens thermographic picture taker, blackbody calibrator and management software.
It uses artificial intelligence (AI) to analyse data from the thermographic camera and can raise an alarm automatically if an unusually high body temperature is detected in any of the subjects.
The system was developed by South Korean vendor D-Link for monitoring large, busy areas and gives fast skin-surface temperature detection for up to 30 people at once with accuracy to the nearest 0.3°C.
D-Link says it is intended for schools, factories, office buildings, airports or hospitals.
The fever screener has a high accuracy camera with a wide-angle thermal lens and an uncooled IRFPA 400×300 microbolometer high-resolution thermal sensor. Together these create razor-sharp thermal images and precise results when identifying those with a temperature.
A full high definition (HD) optical imaging sensor allows the kit to create high-quality footage that overlays thermal and optical images into one.
Facial recognition technology in the management software means that the kit can identify staff members who are falling ill.
The fever screening system is compatible with open industry forum ONVIF, so it can be integrated into existing systems.
The management software can manage up to 32 cameras, so up to 900 people could be monitored at once.
What made the South Koreans develop this particular application of the technology?
Is it in use already in South Korea?
The technology identifies people who are overheating. How does it raise an alarm to management: through a discrete email to a manager, does it use public shaming methods such as social media or does it employ direct digital intervention such as shutting down the individual's technology and despatching a Robot to eject them from the premises?
Has anyone raised any queries about the use of this technology?
How Blockchain will give us control back over our bodies
Within two years all medical data will be globally available – including your genomes – unless it can be blockchained by ethical start ups like Shivom.
Well, we say ethical start ups. Who knows? The CEO and founder, Dr Axel Schumacher, sounded very nice on the phone. And the 94 page white paper on Precision Medicine looks pretty convincing.
Then again, so did the likes of Facebook, Twitter and Google. They were into precision marketing.
Dr Axel Schumaker, CEO of Shivom
Dr Axel Schumacher – I don't think I'd mind if he examined my genomes – he is a proper doctor after all
We didn't know that. We all assumed they were philanthropists who let us use their expensive data centres to store all our private thoughts because they really wanted to 'democratise the world'.
They told us they were levelling the playing field. Actually, they were looting our private lives.
It turns out they were selling every bit of information they could glean, to everyone from pyramid sellers, to debt collectors to oppressive government snooping agencies.
Still, we're all a bit older and wiser now? We won't get spooked again, will we? Sadly, it turns out we will and this time the data intrusions go even deeper. As if having our privacy ravished by cyber spivs wasn't bad enough, the next generation of digital confidence gainers have taken snooping to the next level. They've devised a way to ransack our medical histories and taken privacy pillaging to a molecular level.
Did you know that all these wearable gadget companies, like Fitbit, sell the information you upload to them? You might not think your ECGs are all that exciting but pharmaceutical companies have an endless appetite for this sort of stuff. They've got absolute buckets of money, like futures and options traders on Friday night in a lap dancing club. Those rapacious pharmas will keep stuffing notes into our private places in the hope that we'll show them more of our biology.
But who is profiting from this Medical Peep Show? Fitbit, that's who. All you get is a useless wearable placebo which doesn't seem to tell you much at all. You wonder how long people wear a Fitbit until they get bored with them and put them in the cupboard with the other fad equipment, between the Espresso Machine and the Sandwich Toaster.
Genome companies like 23&Me have even more detailed information about our DNA. Why? Because we're mug enough to send them our blood samples, in the vain hope that they'll tell us something about our genetic make up. Which one of the 12 tribes were we descended from? It's the modern version of Astrology. I've got typical DNA of a Sagittarean, on the cusp of a privacy invasion.
Surely, if someone is going to pay to ogle at our double helix, we should be the ones getting paid. We shouldn't be giving our bodies away free so that some wearable pimp can take all the profit. If I'm going to get my genomes out for the labs, I want a piece of the action.
This is where Blockchain can help us. it can put us back in control of our data. We can use wearable gadgets to measure and monitor us. But new blockchain companies like Shivom, will put a lock on our data, so we only give it up by consent. You wanna see my Genomes, Mr SmithKlineGlaxo? Well put ten dollars into my bitcoin!
New invention cuts the job of sorting AI Tools from 7 years to a month
There are so many AI tools for chemical engineering jobs that it takes years to find the right one. So researchers at North Caroline State University have trained a 'virtual lab' to choose the best AI tools for each job.
Having the right tool for the job makes the job a lot easier, less expensive and faster.
They simulated 600,000 experiments, assessed 150 AI-guided decision-making strategies and claim to have cut 7.5 years of continuous robotic operation into one month's work.
Chemical engineering researchers have now developed a virtual laboratory that can be used to determine the artificial intelligence (AI) tools best suited for addressing various chemical synthesis challenges in flow chemistry systems.
Autonomous systems can accelerating chemical R&D and manufacturing, but they are not in widespread use for two reasons. It's hard to select the right hardware for automated synthesis – and it's impossible to find AI-guided decision-making algorithm, says Milad Abolhasani, assistant professor of chemical engineering at North Carolina State University.
There are three reasons why: One, there's a huge choice of AI tools available. Two, there's not information about them – which is add omission for artificial intelligence – so it's hard to decide which tool is the best for each material synthesis problem. Three, the admin

Does the acceleration of a D.C (dynamic car) depend on the ramps angle?
Extracts from this document...
Introduction
Lab report #1 * MYP Question: Does the acceleration of a D.C (dynamic car) depend on the ramp's angle? * Hypothesis: The acceleration is the change of speed divide by the change of time and in this experiment, the acceleration is the slope in the graph. So the acceleration of a D.C would depend on the ramp's angle. Because the ramp's angles would provide an impulse in the D.C. Causing the speed to increase and the time to decrease depending on the ramp's angle. ...read more.
Middle
Then it is released and you look for the slope in this first try. d) For one book, there might be 6 tries and then a final average for these compilations of results. This would make the results more accuracy. e) Do this process for the other 2 books. * Variables: a) Control Variable: Initial position of the D.C in 50 cm. The mass of the D.C b) Independent Variable: The number of books c) Dependent Variable: The acceleration for each of the tries. ...read more.
Conclusion
So the slope or acceleration increases when the angle was higher. This shows how the high of the angle elevation affects the acceleration. Some difficulties during the experiments were that we didn't have enough space so our classmates move our sensor. As a consequence we have to install the sensor again and again. Another problem was that the computer was freezing therefore we have to start the experiment to many times. For a better lab, I would take my laptop for make the experiment faster. And it would be easier to make the experiment in an open space or try to organize better the instruments in order that no one can move anything. ...read more.

text: Multi-agent systems (MAS) can be widely applied in warehouse management to enhance logistics operation efficiency, reduce costs, and improve decision-making. In a MAS, robots can serve as agents to optimize the routing and scheduling of shipments, reducing delivery times and improving customer satisfaction in the warehouse environment. It is widely recognized that the more robots are deployed, the higher efficiency logistics operation will be. However, with the increasing number of robots, a growing number of challenges emerge, particularly in the domain of task allocation—a process aimed at assigning tasks to a group of robots to achieve a common goal. The task allocation often requires multi-objective optimization to balance various factors. This paper presents an efficient multi-agent task allocation algorithm that can handle both static and dynamic task allocation. To handle static tasks, the paper employs the NSGA2 algorithm, which can handle multi-objective optimization, to efficiently generate scheduling schemes and assign agents in the warehouse to execute tasks. For dynamic tasks, an auction-bid scheme is employed to quickly respond to task changes and ensure the efficient completion of the task. Meanwhile, we also design an effective scheme traffic-rules based to sufficiently avoid the robot collision. The simulation results demonstrated the capability of our algorithm to efficiently allocate tasks and plan the shortest path based on A*. Moreover, the algorithm effectively minimizes both the sum of the travel costs over all robots and the maximum individual travel cost over all robots simultaneously.

Dr. John Hogness, the first president of the Institute of Medicine who shaped it into an unbiased critic of the U.S. healthcare system, died July 2 of heart and kidney failure at the University of Washington's Wallingford retirement center. He was 85.
The announcement was made by the university, where Dr. Hogness served as dean of the medical school, vice president of health sciences and, ultimately, as president.
The Institute of Medicine in Washington, D.C., was a creation of the National Academy of Sciences, which was chartered by Congress in 1863 to provide advice on all facets of science. In the 1960s, the academy concluded that the burgeoning growth of medical research and treatments required a dedicated organization, and the institute was formed in 1970. Dr. Hogness took office with a handful of prestigious physicians as members and a single staffer.
He "had no precedents to follow, and that suited him well," said institute president Dr. Harvey V. Fineberg. "What he did from the outset was set a high standard for excellence in our work and to translate into practice the values of independent judgment, balanced expertise and neutral convening power that guide the (institute) to this day."
Dr. Hogness pledged that the institute would operate "without an ax to grind in terms of a specific constituency."
He worked to keep the organization apolitical, resisting the pleas of lawmakers who wanted the institute to support various bills related to medical issues. He vowed that the institute would speak out on issues only when it could do so in an authoritative voice.
One early institute study, for example, involved the health effects of abortion, which was then as now a highly controversial issue. Dr. Hogness kept the committee members focused on the science, which could be well supported, and away from the ethics of the issue.
During Dr. Hogness' tenure, President Nixon declared a "war on cancer," and one byproduct of Nixon's campaign was the proposed establishment of the National Cancer Institute as a separate body from the National Institutes of Health. Hogness played a key role in keeping the NCI within the NIH, where he thought it would function more effectively.
Dr. Hogness also initiated a study of the actual costs of medical education, the first such study to be conducted.
He was a widely published commentator on the U.S. healthcare system and on challenges facing medical schools, health professional schools and teaching hospitals. Dr. Hogness was particularly interested in advancing the roles of nurses and physician assistants.
He left his institute post after three years to become president of the University of Washington during a period marked by a variety of problems and confrontations with students.
His proudest accomplishment as president, he later said, was the establishment of a regional medical program that encompassed five northwestern states -- Washington, Wyoming, Alaska, Montana and Idaho. Of those, only Washington had a medical school.
Young physicians in training at Washington spend time working throughout the region with the goal of eventually entering practice there. Other universities have since emulated the program.
John Rusten Hogness was born June 27, 1922, in Oakland, Calif. His father, Thorfin, was a physical chemist who helped develop the atomic bomb as part of the Manhattan Project, then taught at the University of Chicago, where John received his undergraduate and medical degrees.
After a stint in the Army and an internship at Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center in New York, he took a post as chief medical resident at King County Hospital, now Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, in part because his wife was from the region. He practiced endocrinology for seven years in the area, teaching part time at the university, before accepting a full-time post.
"People liked John and John liked people," Dr. Clement Finch, one of the original faculty members of the university's school of medicine, wrote in his history of the medical school.
His first wife, Katharine, died in 2004. He is survived by his second wife, Margaret; three daughters, Karen Hogness of Charlemont, Mass., Suze Rutherford and Jody Hazen of Snoqualmie, Wash.; two sons, Rusten of Santa Cruz, Calif., and David, a physician in the United Arab Emirates; and four stepchildren, Tyler, Peg, Terry and Tom. *

Something like found ${count} users in the cache looks like a good log message. It is clear and has the information you care about. However, when you come to querying your log aggregation system, you need to do a free-text search on a substring of the message or use a wildcard search. Both of these operations are slow, and worse still cannot help you with the negative version of the question "find me operations where the cache wasn't checked".
Assuming structured logs are being used, we can at least add the count as a property to the log message so it can now be filtered on by the log aggregator. At which point, why do you need the log message at all? Why not just have log({ users_in_cache: count })?
The logging libraries also put more importance on the message than the properties by having it be the first (and only required) argument to the logging function. From a querying and analysis perspective, this is wrong: messages force you into free text searching and reduce the likelihood of fast queries on attributes.
Given this logline:
logger.info("found the user in the cache", userId);
You could reconstruct this as a statement that can be filtered on:
span.addAttributes({
 user_in_cache: true,
 user_id: userId,
})
Mixed Outputs / Semantics
Nowadays, people configure their HTTP server to write logs to stdout rather than to a log file. This makes a great deal of sense, as now a separate piece of software can tail the logs and send them off to the aggregator. Your application's output, however, will likely end up with mixed plaintext and structured logs, mostly down to libraries and frameworks doing their own thing with logging, which is probably not the same as what you are doing (or other libraries are doing.)
The second problem with writing logs to stdout is that it mixes the semantics of log lines with console output. While both log messages and console output are (probably) just text, they do have different purposes. A piece of feedback might be "Server listening on port 3000. Click here to open the browser". This is useful to a local user running the app but isn't valuable in your logs. Not to mention, its plaintext output on the console, rather than structured, so now your log tailer needs to figure out what to do with it.
With OpenTelemetry, you instead configure an exporter to handle all your traces (and logs and metrics, if you desire.) This is typically sent as OTLP format either directly to a vendor or to an OTEL Collector instance, which can add/remove/modify data and send it to one or multiple places.
Now you are free to write whatever feedback you want to stdout.
Relationships
Loglines don't have a causal relationships. At best, structured logs might have some kind of request identifier (such as requestID or correlationID) for all lines written during a request. This allows you to find all the log lines for a given ID, but the log lines themselves don't have a fixed order. Ordering in structured logging relies on the timestamp field, but this is limited to the accuracy and resolution of the time source. It means that it is possible to get lines appearing at the same time when they happened at different times.
Traces come with automatic parent-child relationships, allowing us to see not only all spans in a single request, but what caused each span, and (as we'll get to in the next point) when they happened.
Tracing also takes these relationships another step further but having a standard set of formats to pass trace and span IDs along to other services, embedded in HTTP headers, message queue metadata, or other locations. Assuming all your other services send their traces to the same system, you can start to visualise who calls your service and what the effects are of you calling other services.
Imagine opening a trace from your service and discovering another team in a downstream service has started tracing their stuff, and you suddenly can see even more information about the request. You didn't even do anything! You notice that the way your service is structured causes a lot of load on the downstream, and start a conversation to see if there is a way to make it faster/better.
Timings
The only timing data you get on log lines automatically is the timestamp of when the log line was written. When you want to see how long an operation took, you must start a timer, and then stop the timer, and log the elapsed duration yourself. As this is a manual process, it is often not done, and when it is done, it tends to have inconsistencies across the application, namely timing source (and thus resolution), property name, and format. Is it elapsed, elapsed_ms, duration, or length? does it contain a number of seconds, milliseconds, nanoseconds, or a timestamp format?
By comparison, traces come with startTime, finishTime, and duration attributes, which are not only guaranteed to be there but are set from the same timing source and are always written in the same format.
Combine this with the relationship attributes, and you can now render timing graphs, allowing for easy visualisation of how long each part of a process takes, what can be parallelised, and what parts depend on other parts.
For example, this is a graph showing how long a CI job took to run, showing all the different steps, their durations, and child steps:
a graph of a single build showing each task as a horizontal box denoting start and durations
Querying
Querying can have wildly different performance characteristics depending on which log aggregation service you are using. What unifies all these systems is their slowness, which is mostly down to vast amounts of data which needs indexing so that it can be free text searched. Filtering logs by their structured properties is however pretty quick (usually.)
Where querying falls down is trying to find trends in data, and trying to find answers to negative queries. For example, how would you search for "all requests to x endpoint, where users were not found in the cache"? This requires you to group the logs by request ID, then find an entry with a particular url path, then see if it is missing a log line. The same query in a tracing system would be where path = "/some/api" && !user_in_cache, as the tracing system is already aware of all the spans in a trace, and does the grouping automagically.
Finally, visualising missing data is hard. Take this small example; it is 4 parallel requests to a system, and one of them is missing a log line. Which line is missing?
Timestamp UserID Message
12:51:27 3fcce385be9e fetched 3rd party preferences
12:51:27 3fcce385be9e found user in cache
12:51:27 915d273db25c fetched 3rd party preferences
12:51:27 3fcce385be9e saved successfully
12:51:27 8507d369d11c fetched 3rd party preferences
12:51:27 c4e71b4a29f2 fetched 3rd party preferences
12:51:27 915d273db25c saved successfully
12:51:27 c4e71b4a29f2 found user in cache
12:51:27 c4e71b4a29f2 saved successfully
12:51:27 8507d369d11c found user in cache
12:51:27 8507d369d11c saved successfully
Is it easier to see the one that is different now?
Timestamp UserID Fetched In Cache Saved
12:51:27 3fcce385be9e true true true
12:51:27 915d273db25c true false true
12:51:27 8507d369d11c true true true
12:51:27 c4e71b4a29f2 true true true
Not only is it easy to see at a glance that 915d273db25c didn't find the user in the cache, but also how much less space this takes up (both visually and in terms of storage.)
We can also then use this to query further: show me all traces where in_cache != true, and see what's different about them.
Evolving logs
So, with all that being said, let's look at a practical example of how to go about tracing an existing system and what that looks like.
Ripping all the log statements in an application in one go is not a feasible strategy, especially on a large codebase. However, we can use logs as a decent starting place and evolve our system to something better. Namely, to OpenTelemetry Tracing.
We'll start off with a real pair of functions from one of the codebases I work on. Lots of information changed to protect the guilty innocent. This is run as part of an api call to publish a container, but this part has no web specific code.

Charts Inside of Tables
Adding Charts Inside of Tables
Adding charts inside of tables provides a lot of flexibility designing reports as well as organizing and displaying data in a report. The most common way of adding charts inside tables is using an unstructured row and placing the chart inside the row. Unstructured rows are highly customizable allowing you to place charts anywhere within the row of the table.
There are two common locations to place a chart inside a table:
 - Using a Header followed by a chart component.
 - Using a Details Row followed by a chart component.
It is very common to add a chart in an unstructured Header row because then the chart will be at the top of the first page of a report. An unstructured Details row typically works best when used in conjunction with Grouping Data Inside of Tables or Nested Queries so that each row has a chart with data from that group or query.
Adding a Chart Inside a Header Row
This example shows several pieces of hardware including how many pieces were produced, and how many pieces were shipped. A Bar Chart was added after the Header row in the table.
 1. In the Data panel, create a Static CSV data source (i.e., Hardware Data). The dataset is shown below.
 Hardware Dataset
 Hardware, Produced, Shipped
 Nails, 95, 85
 Screws, 80, 60
 Bolts, 50, 47
 2. In the Design panel, drag a Table component on to your report. Drag your Datasource (i.e., Hardware Data) from the Key Browser to the Data Key field, and click the Header box in the Configure Tab.
 3. Next, drag each Data Key (i.e., Hardware, Produced, and Shipped) to a column in your table in Data Details row.
 4. Enter the Header name (i.e., Metal Fastener Numbers Report) in the left column of the Data Header row.
 5. Select the Header row and click on the Row Structure icon to make the row unstructured so you can add a chart.
 note
 You can toggle between a structured and unstructured row by simply clicking the Structure Row icon.
 6. With the Header row selected, drag the row down the page to make room for the chart: click and drag on the dark gray bar titled "Hardware Data Header".
 7. Drag in a Bar Chart from the Report Design Component Palette into the unstructured Header row and expand it. While dragging the chart into the header, you'll notice a blue outline around the Header as you hold the mouse button down while the cursor is in front of the header. This signifies that the chart will be placed directly into the header row, as opposed to in front of the table.
 8. With the chart selected, drag a Datasource (i.e., Hardware Data) to the Data Key of the Configure Tab. Set the Extract Order as 'Column.'
 Extract Order
 For a Bar Chart, Extract Order is the order in which the data is extracted from the data key, by Row or Column. By default, Row is selected. Use Row when columns in the data key define the series of data. Use Columns when rows in the data key define the series of data; each column is a new value for the same series.
 9. Now, let's put your creativity to work and make your report stand out by changing properties. This example changed the following properties:
 - In the Configure Tab - change the third bar color to green.
 - Select Metal Fastener Numbers Report header - change the Font Size to 24 pixels, the Text Color to red, and the Horizontal Alignment to Center in the Properties tab.
 - Select the Bar Chart - enter a name for the Axis Label (i.e., Quantity), and set the Bar Labels to 'true' in the Properties Tab.
 - Select each Data Details cell (i.e., Hardware, Produced, and Shipped), change the Font Size to 14 pixels, and the Hardware Text to blue in the Properties tab.
 The Design panel will update the displayed sample data after changing the properties above.
 10. Go to the Preview panel to view your report.
Adding a Chart Inside a Details Row
Adding a chart inside a Details row duplicates the chart for the number of Detail rows you have in your table, and displays the respective data for each row in the chart. This example shows the Equipment Downtime Details for each piece of equipment: Cause and Downtime in Minutes. It also adds a Bar Chart after the Details row using an unstructured row, and a nested query so that each row has a chart with data from the query. Go to the Nested Queries page and complete the Equipment Downtime example at the bottom if you want to use the same datasets for this example.
 1. Once you have your Data set up from the above example, click on the Design tab and add a table component to your report.
 2. With the table created, add a Header row to the table. Drag all of your Equipment details into the table, and add header titles for each column.
 3. Select the Details row, make the row unstructured , and drag the row down the page to make room for a chart.
 4. Drag a chart from the Report Design Component Palette into the unstructured row and expand it.
 5. With the chart selected, drag a Datasource (i.e., EquipDowntime) from the Key Browser to the Data Key field in the Configure Tab.
 6. If you are using a Bar Chart, set the Extract Order to Column.
 7. Go to the Preview panel to view the report. If you want to make any changes to the chart like changing Segment Colors, adding Bar Labels, or adding a page break, etc., go back to the Design panel to modify any of the chart properties. When you're finished, return to the Preview panel. You'll notice that for each piece of equipment there is a chart and data. You can make each piece of equipment have its own page by setting the Page Break option on the Table under the Configure Table tab.
Using a Chart in a Table with Nested Queries
When working with data from nested queries, representing the sub-query data on a chart in a table row is fairly similar to using two unrelated data sources.
In this example, we used content from two different tables, as shown below.
The Tables
Equipment
This table contains identifiers and descriptions for multiple pieces of equipment. A query named "equipment_list" is used by the report to retrieve this information.
equipment_idequipment_descriptionequipment_name
1North TankTank 101
2South TankTank 202
Equipment_Downtime
This table identifies different downtime events, and the id for the equipment that went down. A query named "downtime_list" is used by the report to retrieve this information.
downtime_idequipment_iddowntime_causedowntime_minutes
11Tank full30
21Pump failure14
32Changeover60
42Pump failure34
52Tank full10
Queries
The query for the 'equipment' data source (an "SQL Query" type query) looks like the following:
SELECT equipment.equipment_id as 'equipment identifier',
equipment.equipment_description,
equipment.equipment_name
FROM equipment
The query for the "equipment_downtime" table (also an "SQL Query" type query) looks like the following:
SELECT equipment_downtime.downtime_cause AS 'Cause',
equipment_downtime.downtime_minutes AS 'Minutes'
FROM equipment_downtime
WHERE equipment_downtime.equipment_id = ?
Configuring the Chart
In this section, we are going to have a Category Chart component show the results of our downtime_list query. Because we're using a table, and a nested query, each row on the table will represent a different piece of equipment from our equipment table.
For this to work, the table component must be assigned the results of the parent query (which would be equipment_list in this case), and then assign downtime_list to our chart.
 1. Create a new table component, and assign "equipment_list" as the Data Key for the table.
 2. Make the Details row unstructured.
 3. Add the equipment_name key to the details row, so we know which piece of equipment is represented by the row.
 4. Add a Category Chart component to the details row of the table.
 5. Set the Data Key on the chart to "downtime_list."
 6. Set the Extract Order of the chart to "Column."
 7. Switch to the Preview panel, you should see each both pieces of equipment, represented as different charts, each showing their totaled downtime reasons.

Associate Professor, Theatre
During the last ten years Robert Reid has collaborated on many productions, both in theatre and film, and has taught at numerous institutions, including Université du Québec Montréal and at the prestigious Collège Jean-de-Brébeuf where he supervised the theatre program from 2001 to 2004.
As a theatre director his work focuses mainly on the exploration of contemporary dramatic forms. He collaborated to the creation of two theatre companies: Le Groupe de poésie moderne and L'Ange-Éléphant. The former has been recognized as an unique and unsual phenomena in Quebec's theatre scene. The latter, L'Ange-Éléphant, is dedicated to the exploration of new dramaturgy, both Canadian and International. This Company's recent productions includes The War Plays by Edward Bond, Body and Soul by John Mighton and Yvonne, princesse de bourgogne by Witold Gombrowich.
Though Reid works predominantly in French, he has participated in projects with The Centaur Theatre, Projet Porte-Parole, Infinitheatre and other English theatre companies in Canada.
His teaching focuses mainly on acting and directing; on text analysis and on the translation of that analysis into dynamics on stage, strongly influenced in this work by his studies of Meyerhold's biomechanics with Gennadi Bogdanov.
Research is an essential part of his theatre activities. Over the last decade Reid has published articles in different specialty magazines, translated plays and participated in many conferences.

The paper describes how to improve the reusability of iconic program modules. In iconic programming systems, the most important features for reuse are the customization of a module and combination of multiple modules without changing their definitions. In order to realize these features, we propose an object sharing technique, which allows components of multiple modules to represent the same object instance. Since a component in a module can be related to an object in another module, by adding a new function to an object in the latter module, the former module can be customized without changing its own definition. In addition, by relating a component to multiple objects in different modules, different functions defined in each module, can be combined easily. Finally, we show that the proposed technique realizes a useful software development style using templates, which will contribute to the improvement of the productivity

Action plan targets soil pollution
Updated: 2016-06-01 07:15
By ZHENG JINRAN(China Daily)
Third in series of initiatives would arrest worsening situation by 2020
China released its third national action plan to curb pollution on Tuesday, this time targeting soil deterioration.
The government said it will arrest the worsening problem by 2020, and then make improvements to polluted soil by 2030.
The first two action plans focused on air pollution (2013) and water pollution (2015).
The new action plan requires that 90 percent of contaminated farmland be made safe by 2020, with an increase to 95 percent by 2030.
On Tuesday, the State Council released the Action Plan on Prevention and Control of Soil Pollution－10 chapters with 231 detailed measures dealing with monitoring, pollution prevention and remediation to be used in drafting laws and regulations.
As with the requirements laid down in the previous action plans against water and air pollution, the State Council specified which ministry should take the lead and which should participate in specific efforts on behalf of the nation's soil. It also set incremental deadlines.
China has seen soil quality deteriorate over a vast region, which has affected the human health, agricultural product safety and the environment, the Ministry of Environmental Protection said on Tuesday.
The first national survey on soil quality, released in 2014, showed the gravity of soil pollution. More than 16 percent of the samples taken nationwide were contaminated.
Moreover, contaminants were discovered in 19.4 percent of surveyed farmland, 10 percent of forests and 10.4 percent of grassland, it said.
China's battle against soil pollution has been difficult, hindered by such things as a lack of basic data and loose supervision, according to Wang Xiahui, director of Soil Environment Protection Center of the Chinese Academy for Environmental Planning, a high-level think tank for the ministry.
"Unlike the often visible pollution of the air or water－obvious smog or dirty streams, for example－soil pollution may not be easily detected without professional tests," Wang said.
Also, soil pollution is hard to reverse, as contaminants last longer than those in air and water. That means efforts to curb the problem can require more time and money.
The new action plan is carefully crafted with such factors in mind, the ministry said.
It is expected to take two years to map polluted farmland, and four years for major industrial land, to provide thorough data for the action plan.
In addition, the soil pollution control efforts in the action plan highlight protection－the prevention of pollution to uncontaminated land－and tackles the problem across large regions and in major industries.
Like the previous action plans, the national campaign is expected to control pollution efficiently and also fuel economic growth.
It is estimated the action plan could add 2.7 trillion yuan ($411 billion) to the nation's GDP and create around 2 million jobs, the ministry said.

What Are You Expected To Do As A Law Intern?
As a law student, you will be expected to do your internship at some point during the course of your study. While you may have some preconceived notions about what it means to intern at a law firm and the tasks you will be undertaking, you won't know for sure until you finally begin your internship. Basically, an internship at a law firm is designed to give law students valuable insight into the professional lives of attorneys and judges. If you're lucky enough to land an internship at a law firm that pays its interns an allowance, good for you! Although, keep in mind that that may not always be the case. That aside, let's take a look at some of the basic responsibilities you can be expected to shoulder as an intern.
1. Observe and learn
The objective of an internship is to better understand what being a lawyer involves, and the best way to do that is to be around… well, lawyers! Observe the partners and associates in your place of internship and take note of these things:
 - How do they manage their time?
 - How do they structure their daily and weekly schedules?
 - How do they manage clients? Is there a protocol to follow when liaising with clients?
 - How do they decide whether to represent a client or otherwise?
 - What are the processes involved in managing a case and who do they liaise with apart from their clients?
 - What is involved in the research process for a case and which resources are used?
 - Where do you get those resources?
 - What is the payment structure and how is it collected?
These are just some of the questions to which you need to get answers during your internship period. Find out all you can about the above and more – garnering as much information and knowledge as you can during your internship will stand you in good stead when you finally graduate and become a full-fledged lawyer. There's only so much you can learn at law school – real world experience is a big part of the rest of your educational journey.
2. Do research
Research plays a huge role when it comes to case preparations and the extent of research required per case often means that lawyers spend long working hours on it each day. This is where you can volunteer and contribute as an intern. Among the tasks you will be carrying out as part of the research process include reviewing precedents and past legislation, fact-checking, drafting memos, writing legislation and updating team members on current events. Subsequently, the research that you've done needs to be compiled and presented to your superiors in an organised and coherent manner, so be sure to find out their preferences and requirements. If you're asked to relay your findings to them in writing, take it as an opportunity to sharpen your legal writing skills. In doing so, you could show initiative by adding value to your research – include your own comments or views to the content. This displays good analytical, critical-thinking and problem-solving skills, which are highly valued in a lawyer. Plus, it will definitely make your superiors sit up and notice, which may pave the way for a job offer upon graduation!
3. Organise and prioritise
If there's one thing that's synonymous with law firms, it's the massive amount of legal paperwork! Research papers, legal documents, client intake forms, billing invoices, time tracking forms, case files, evidence records, the list just goes on and on! With such a large amount of paperwork involved, your superior will be glad to have a helping hand in the form of an intern. Take advantage of this opportunity to make yourself useful and highlight your organisation and prioritisation skills! Arrange case files in a way that makes them easy to find (think colour-coded files in alphabetical order); organise research papers and legal documents in a systematic manner, and help put your superior's court documents in order so that referencing is made easy. Organising is no mean feat, but your internship period is a good time to get started. After all, it's a skill that will come in really handy in the future. Also, be prepared to handle some administrative work in the process – it's common for interns to do traditional clerical work such as taking calls and messages, drafting emails and memos, preparing meeting minutes, transcribing, and scanning and photocopying documents.
4. Acting as courtroom assistant
This role will definitely be one of the highlights of your internship. Debates in moot courts at college couldn't hold a candle to being in the thick of things in a real courtroom, and it definitely beats organising files and taking phone calls! As an intern, it's good to get some exposure to courtroom proceedings and the best way to do so is to function as a courtroom assistant. By assisting in courtroom proceedings, you will gain an in-depth understanding of court processes and protocols. You could also be tasked with preparing documents and files for mediation, which gives you a chance to put what you learnt at college to good use. And if you're lucky, you'll get to witness trial proceedings by being seated beside an attorney. If you intern for a judge, you may even get the chance to listen in when he calls both attorneys to approach the bench!

Finding the answer with the help of Aesop's fable of the tortoise and the hare.
The story of the race between the tortoise and the hare requires no introduction. But what does it have to do with today's publishing landscape? There are more similarities than one may think, especially when the audience is in the spotlight.
Online publication as the bold hare
The Internet is a younger and faster medium for communicating information than print. Also, it's still growing, with more websites and blogs created every day, fueled by both writers' desire to write and readers' appetite for more.
The reader can find information on any topic from the comforts of the home or office, and this information is concise and meant to be read quickly. The hare doesn't waste time.
Advantages of online media:
- It's less expensive to produce
- It allows readers to be active (through comments, sharing)
- It can be edited or updated after publication
- It's available on several platforms including smart phones, tablets, eBooks and the good old PC
- It has a high potential for reaching a wide, diverse audience (especially if a piece goes viral)
Print publication as the moseying tortoise
Like the tortoise, print publication is known for being slower and more rigid. Deadlines are firm, but for established titles and authors, print caters to a known demand.
Advantages of print media:
- It results in a final, tangible product
- It's more profitable (although not as profitable as it once was, and who really profits?)
- It has a loyal readership
- It encourages the reader to linger (and possibly read more thoughtfully)
- It enables higher retention of information
The main difference between the consumption of online and print materials is the time spent digesting the information. Online articles are more concise because they cater to a reader who is investing a few minutes (or perhaps seconds) to gain a maximum amount of information in a minimum amount of time.
Meanwhile, print magazines and books often serve more as an escape than as a distraction. The reader chooses to set aside time to focus on an article or story. In doing so, the reader is also able to retain more information, according to this study.
While the tortoise won the race in Aesop's fable because of the hare's overconfidence, the real winner in the competition between online and print publication is the reader. Readers have more information available at their fingertips than ever before. They also have more choices about where to get their information and how to consume it.
So the next time you're trying to decide between publishing online or in print, think about the story of the tortoise and the hare. Is your work meant to slowly envelop or quickly inform the reader?
The medium truly is the message.

text: this method returns a long, which can hold up to max int -1 divided by 2 number (correct me if I am wrong). So I guess there is really no need of long for a record number. (if criteria contains all null and db doesn't have a deleted record, then this mehtod will return all record numbers). So why do we have a long recNo? maybe a recNo can arbitrarily start from some large number?


Did a Mega-Flood Doom Ancient American City of Cahokia?
Sediments reveal evidence of massive Mississippian flood around 1200 C.E.
Clues found near the site of Cahokia (above) indicated that a flood occurred at the height of the city's population and power.
One thousand years ago, on a floodplain of the Mississippi River near modern-day St. Louis, the massive Native American city known today as Cahokia sprang suddenly into existence. Three hundred years later it was virtually deserted.
The reasons for Cahokia's quick emergence and precipitous decline have been among the greatest mysteries in American prehistory, but new research suggests a possible cause of the city's demise: a catastrophic flood.
A team led by Samuel E. Munoz, a doctoral student at the University of Wisconsin, Madison and National Geographic Young Explorer Grantee, reported at the 2013 conference of the Geological Society of America that their study of sediment cores from a lake adjacent to the site of Cahokia reveals calamitous flooding of the area around 1200 C.E., just as the city was reaching its apex of population and power.
While analyzing cores from Horseshoe Lake, an oxbow lake that separated from the Mississippi River some 1,700 years ago, Munoz's team discovered a layer of silty clay 19 centimeters (7.5 inches) thick deposited by a massive ancient flood.
It's unlikely that the ancient floodwaters were high enough to inundate the ten-story mound at Cahokia's center, a structure now called Monk's Mound. (See "Cahokia: America's Forgotten City.") But a flood of such magnitude would have devastated croplands and residential areas, and may have made it impossible for a population numbering as many as 15,000 to continue inhabiting the area.
Whether the flood caused Cahokia's decline and abandonment or simply contributed to it remains a subject for future research. But this much is clear: Within 150 years of the flood, what had been the largest prehistoric settlement north of Mexico became a ghost town, a vacant landscape of earthen mounds that would confound European settlers.
Though the flood is a new wrinkle in Cahokia's story, other data from the team's research supports previous archaeological conclusions about the history of Cahokia and the Mississippian culture of which it was a part.
Core Clues
Analysis of pollen deposits in the sediment cores from Horseshoe Lake shows an intensification of farming, accompanied by rapid deforestation, starting around 450 C.E., with corn cultivation peaking between 900 and 1200 C.E. Then the cores reveal the flood event, followed by a decline in corn cultivation. By 1350 C.E., the pollen record shows, agriculture there had essentially ceased.
Munoz, a geographer who specializes in the study of pollen records, noticed that very little pollen research had been done in the American Southeast, where the Mississippian culture flourished. "And we didn't really have any studies outside big archaeological sites," he said. So when he saw Horseshoe Lake right next to Cahokia, he thought it was worth a shot.
"These floodplain lakes have been ignored for a long time as sources of these kinds of records, and they can be really valuable," said Munoz, whose research was supported by a grant from the National Geographic Society.
But he had no idea they might find such a big piece of the puzzle. "When we realized we were looking at a flood, and that it fell right at this key time in Cahokia's history, it was very exciting."


Slim LG Smart Tv Tv Setup
Connecting the game console to the TV is a standard procedure, but sometimes users encounter certain difficulties. What is the reason for this? Not always used TV, monitor or laptop, equipped with the necessary connectors. Therefore, you have to buy adapters or use unpopular interfaces today. How to connect a PS4 to a TV? We will answer this question as much as possible, and also analyze the intricacies of connecting the console to a computer monitor and laptop.
PS4 Slim LG Smart Tv Tv Setup
How to connect a PS4 to a TV
The initial setup step is to connect the PS4 to the TV. In principle, there is nothing complicated about this. It is enough to follow the step by step instructions:
 1. Connect the HDMI cable to the TV with the appropriate connector located on the side or on the rear panel.
 2. Insert the second cable plug into the HDMI connector of the Sony PlayStation game console.
 3. Plug the power cord into the power outlet, and plug the other end into the set-top box connector.
 4. If you do not plan to connect to the Internet via Wi-Fi, then connect a network cable.
 5. Insert the small end of the microUSB cable to the DualShock joystick, and the second to the USB input of the game console.
To start the console, press the power button on the front of the console or hold down the PS4 key on the joystick. Setting up a PS4 and TV connection is only half the battle. For the console to work correctly, you need to connect it to the Internet. Now let's see how this is done.
Wired internet connection is considered more reliable. Therefore, if possible, then connect the game console to the Wi-Fi router using an Ethernet cable that must be inserted into the LAN connector.
What is an internet connection for? You can enter multi-user mode, as well as download games from the PlayStation Store. Of course, cable connection is more secure, but less practical. Therefore, users prefer a wireless connection. Instructions for setting up Wi-Fi connection on the game console:
 1. Open the top navigation bar. To do this, take the joystick, and then press the button "Up". Choose a section "Settings".
 2. Go to the tab "Net", and then select the option "Setting up an Internet connection". The user is offered two options. "LAN" and Wi-Fi. Choose the second one.
 3. A list of available networks will appear on the screen, select your home. Enter password. When prompted to use a proxy server, click on "Do not use".
 4. To test the correctness of the Internet connection, select the option "Check your internet connection".
When the connection is completed, register a new one or log in to an existing account. Choose a strong password, it is advisable to write it down so as not to forget in the future.
Connect PS4 to monitor
If you do not have a TV, then you can connect Sony Playstation to a computer monitor. We emphasize that setting up a connection will require much more effort and time than a standard connection to a TV. Many users believe that if you connect the game console to a PC, the image will immediately appear on the monitor screen. This is not true.
Computer cards that support the HDMI interface or any other ports for transmitting signals have only an output. This means that they are primarily intended for image transmission, not reception.
Using the Remote Play software, users can broadcast a picture from the game console to a computer monitor. However, if there is no access to the TV, then setting up the correct operation of all devices will still fail.
Almost all computer monitors are equipped with a DVI interface. You should save the adapter or HDMI-DVI wire to use it to connect the console. Do not forget that there are several versions of this interface: I, A, D. Before purchasing an adapter, check which connector the computer monitor is equipped with. Otherwise, serious connection problems may occur with the connection setup.
You can also use the VGA interface to connect a PC monitor and a PS4 console. Almost all computer displays are also equipped with it. There should not be a problem with the purchase of an HDMI-VGA adapter. If for some reason the adapter did not fit, then you can use the HDMI-VGA converter, equipped with an additional power system. It will convert the image to the desired stream. It is possible that you will have to slightly reduce the resolution. The cost of such a device varies in the range from 600 to 1200 rubles.
Visually, the converter resembles a small box in which there are three inputs:
 - Audio jack for headphones or speakers;
 - HDMI
 - VGA or DVI.
This option will definitely solve the problem. Converters without an additional power system will not allow you to configure synchronization with the PlayStation 4 game console. The audio jack in this unit is also not just like that. The fact is that the DVI and VGA interfaces are designed to transmit exclusively signal. Therefore, the adapter will also transmit sound.
Connect PS4 to laptop
Of course, all modern laptops are equipped with an HDMI interface, but users cannot connect the PS4 console in this way. The problem is that these connectors work to output information. Therefore, the logical question arises, how to connect the PlayStation 4 to a laptop? You need to get special adapters and an old RCA cable. To correctly configure the connection, follow a simple step-by-step instruction:
 1. We insert the plug into the special adapter, which is responsible for transmitting the signal, and then we connect the adapter to the laptop.
 2. Reset user console settings. To do this, press and hold the power button. As soon as the set-top box emits an appropriate sound signal, you can release the button.
 3. The white and red plugs of the RCA cable insert the audio jack using a special av-jack adapter.
Perhaps this is the easiest and most effective way to connect the game console to the laptop. Be sure to switch audio and modes directly on the console. To do this, open the PS4 settings, and then select the tulips icon.
If the TV does not have HDMI
Can I connect a PS4 to an old TV? Yes, make it real. The main problem is that older versions of TV technology were produced without HDMI. Therefore, to configure the connection, you will have to use special adapters to other connectors. The most common option is "Tulips".
Sony Playstation 4 is easily connected to the TV through an adapter for "tulips". The main disadvantage of this connection method is the low image quality. However, if there is no other way, then use this option. Connection is carried out according to the same principle as in the case of a laptop. Problems with synchronization should not arise. Just insert the adapters into the appropriate connectors. After turning on the TV, select the desired signal source using the remote control.
