The latest in a series of visits made by Hon. Owen Bonnici, Malta's Minister for Research, Innovation and post-COVID-19 Strategy, paid on Wednesday 19 May 2021, was to the University of Malta's Institute of Aerospace Technologies (IAT), where two revolutionary projects worth €400,000 are currently being undertaken.
These two projects, being jointly led by IAT and QuAero Ltd, and which Minister Bonnici got a closer look at, are 'TOUCH-FLIGHT' and 'SmartAP'.
TOUCH-FLIGHT is a patented concept allowing pilots to control their aircraft through a single touch-screen device and by voice command, thereby making for easier control of the aircraft's systems.
SmartAP builds upon TOUCH-FLIGHT, and will introduce changes in the way pilots currently control aircraft as well as their operational safety. It uses artificial intelligence to assist pilots in decision-making throughout the duration of their flight.
The work on these two projects follows on previous international cutting-edge research within the EU Frameworks Programmes. The University of Malta has been involved with European Industrial Primes such as Thales, Alenia and Airbus for more than 15 years. Through the Fusion programme, Maltese innovation is leading to the development of technologies of contemporary value and interest to global aviation.
Minister Bonnici explained how the Institute plays a crucial role in the field of aerospace technology and has already worked on various successful projects under the guidance of main investigator, Prof. Ing. David Zammit Mangion.
QuAero Ltd is a private company that conducts research while providing technical services in commercial aviation.
"Seeing such fruitful collaboration between the private industry and the academic world gives me great satisfaction", continued the Minister.
SMARTAP (R&I-2018-010-T) and TOUCH-FLIGHT (R&I-2012-065) are financed by the Malta Council for Science & Technology, for and on behalf of the Foundation for Science and Technology, through the FUSION: R&I Technology Development Programme.


Can You Store Weed In The Freezer?
Can You Store Weed In The Freezer?
Storing cannabis has always been an issue for people who indulge for many different reasons. From your personal small stash weed storage to your larger storage for longer-term, the misunderstandings and misinformation on the web are easily fallen for. But we look at it from a scientific perspective.
The freezer may look like a tempting option for the long-term storage of large quantities of weed. But as we are about to see, although the freezer may very well 'freeze' and put a pause on all the chemical processes responsible for the aging processes of weed, ultimately, it's a very bad idea and can ironically ruin your bud in an instant.
This is especially true if you don't put a lot of thought into the whole freezing and thawing process and don't properly control processes like condensation, which can instantly turn your herb into a mush.
Why Freezing Weed Isn't a Great Idea
At first glance, it makes sense. After all, food that would otherwise go bad in a day at room temperature, can be kept for many years in a freezer. And since weed can be kept at room temperature for months, it would make sense that in the freezer, you can store it for a lifetime, right?
Well, it would certainly make sense that at the low temperature the freezer reaches, factors like mold, light exposure, and chemical oxidation by atmospheric oxygen are greatly reduced or even eliminated.
However, there are risk factors involved, which ultimately make freeze-storage a very bad idea. Here are some of them:
Weed Loses Its Structural Integrity While Freezing and During Thawing
If you've ever frozen vegetables or fruits, you know what happens to them when you get them out of the freezer and thaw them – they have become mushy, wet and have lost their fresh look. This is because as water freezes, it first contracts and then expands.
This breaks the cellular walls of the plant material, causing it to turn into a mush. This is very similar to the process that occurs during cooking.
Even though weed is already relatively dry, it still has a 10% to 15% water content, and as that water freezes in the tiny trichomes, it causes them to break off, crumble and turn into a fine powder, which is then very difficult to properly roll into a joint or pack into a bowl.
The trichomes are where all the potency is, so their destruction during the freezing process is obviously a very bad thing.
If you take any frozen plant material out of the fridge, tiny water droplets will immediately start condensing on its surface, making it wet.
Although this can be theoretically avoided by keeping the weed sealed in a container during the thawing process, it's still something that can easily ruin a large batch very quickly if you're not careful.
As you can see, freezing weed is generally a bad idea and there's no reason to do it – it involves many risks that can potentially ruin your herb, without offering any significant advantages.
So, stick to proven storage techniques, like a glass jar or another container with carefully controlled humidity levels inside.
If you keep the herb out of strong light and in a cool place, it can very well last for years, without a significant loss of potency or flavor.

CoRB Scripts for Forest Rebalancing
Sometimes a MarkLogic Server database will have several forests. If the forests are present from the time when the database was created, they will each have approximately the same number of forests. But if the administrator adds more forests later on, the newer forests will tend to have fewer documents. In cases like this, we can rebalance the forests.
But before using this tool, consider that rebalancing is generally slower than clearing the database and reloading. That is because every document must be updated, and updates are more expensive than inserts. So rebalancing the forests may not be the best way to solve the problem. If you have the luxury of clearing the database and reloading everything, do it.
Finally, note that following this procedure may result in forests containing many deleted fragments. To recover disk space, you may wish to force some forests to merge.
Setup
This project contains a shell script and a pair of XQuery modules, intended for use with CoRB. CoRB requires a configured XDBC server, and the root of that XCC server must contain the corb-rebalancer modules:
uris.xqy
rebalance.xqy
If CoRB crashes with SVC-FILOPN then the root is likely to be the problem. Check your settings carefully.
When run, crb.sh will download jar files for CoRB and XCC. If you are not connected to the Internet, then you must place both jar files in the corb-rebalance directory.
The MarkLogic XCC client API is generally backward-compatible, so this jar file should also work with earlier versions of the server.
Usage
./crb.sh XCC [ THREADS [ URIS [ VMARGS ] ] ]
Normally only the first two arguments will be used. An XCC connection string is of the form:
xcc://user:password@host:port/database-name
where the database-name is optional. The corresponding XDBC application server must be listening on the correct port, and the corb-rebalancer XQuery must be in its root directory.
The default value of THREADS is 2. To speed up processing, try setting it to twice the number of CPU threads. For example, a Xeon E5645 CPU has 12 threads. So for a pair of those CPUs you might try 48 threads.
Troubleshooting
As mentioned above, SVC-FILOPN generally means that CoRB cannot find the uris.xqy and rebalance.xqy modules. Make sure they are in the root directory as specified for the XDBC server, and that the modules database is set to (filesystem). Make sure that the MarkLogic Server process can read the files.
The error CRB-EMPTYSOURCES means that the forests are already well-balanced. Note that these scripts only look at document counts, not fragment counts. That is because sub-fragments of a document must all live in the same forest. Also, this tool does not balance on-disk size. For most workloads, document count is the more appropriate metric.
If CoRB reports "nothing to process" then the forests are already well-balanced. If you disagree, check to make sure that CoRB is using the right database, either in the XCC connection string or in the XDBC server configuration.

Types of Staples

Jupiterimages/Photos.com/Getty Images
Staples hold two or more objects together by punching through the material and bending back on themselves. There are a variety of staples used for different types of paper and various thicknesses. Research the intended purpose for the types of staples in your home or office to ensure they are being used for the proper tasks.
Standard Staples
Standard staples are the most common types of staples found in homes and offices. They are 1/4 of an inch in length and have beveled tips, or tips that are perpendicular to the ends that connect to them. These types of staples will fit any standard stapler. Standard staples will hold pieces of paper to walls and cork boards.
Heavy-Duty Staples
Heavy-duty staples are made thicker than standard staples. They come in 1/4-inch, 3/8-inch, 1/2-inch and 3/4-inch lengths. There are fewer heavy-duty staples per strip than with standard staples because of their thicker width. Heavy-duty staples can puncture through more pieces of paper, usually up to 20 or more. The points are chiseled to penetrate more material than a standard staple. They can also hold heavier objects on walls and cork boards. Heavy-duty staples also work well to bind thick material, such as denim, if you are in need of a quick wardrobe fix.

Mini-staplers are marketed primarily to students. These lighter, smaller staples travel well and take up less space. The stapler will require smaller staples than those used in standard staplers. Mini-staples are harder to find and are usually made for a certain brand of stapler. These staplers provide a way to bind papers together when on the fly. They will not be able to staple a significant amount of paper together, however, because of their small size.
Construction Staples
Staples are also used in home repair and construction jobs. These staples are thick and have highly chiseled tips. This type of staple is ejected out of the stapler at a high speed. This makes using a professional stapler dangerous and you should exercise safety and caution. Wear safety glasses and gloves. High intensity staples are used to staple dry wall to 2-by-4 wood frames.

Instrument Stands Part 1: Brass
As I see it, there are three main ways to play an instrument adaptively:
1. Modify your technique
2. Modify the instrument itself
3. Modify the way the instrument is held
Musicians with limb differences need to use all of their functional body parts to play their instruments effectively. Therefore, holding an instrument should take as little effort as possible. Although some products exist on the market, many players have created their own instrument stands. In this post, I'll share some solutions for holding brass instruments.
Felix Klieser is a professional French Horn player from Germany. (His playing is stunning! Listen!) He plays with his left foot. Felix's horn rests on an adjustable stand with an extension for his heel.
ErgoBrass supports are available for purchase worldwide. They have created supports for trombone, trumpet, French horn, and euphonium. These supports do not allow the instrument to stand on its own, however, they reduce the strain on the player.
Do you use a support for playing a brass instrument? Leave a comment and share your solution!


Falcons with Passport – Things You See Only in the UAE
Falcons are a significant part of the traditional culture of the UAE. With exact history not known as to when the Bedouins first started using them, Falcons have played a crucial role in the history of the United Arab Emirates. They have helped Bedouins hunt animals in the extreme hot desert environment. The one thing that set the Falcons apart from other predatory animals, is that they can be trained to deliver the hunt alive. This helped the Bedouins to ensure that the meat is halal.
Who are Bedouins?
Bedouins (or Bedawi in Arabic) are the oldest inhabitants of the deserts of Arabia. They are a nomadic group of desert-dwellers or local tribes who were always on the move. Bedouins used to travel thousands of kilometers in the deserts using just the sun and stars for navigation.
They were expert trackers, and it is believed that they could distinguish the footsteps of humans and animals in the sand, and also could say if the human being was a man or when and also could tell the approximate age of the person.
Bedouins were the first to use falcons for hunting and other pet purposes. But, today, Falcons are a symbol of one's status, and sometimes they sell for as high as $1 million each, making falcon trade attractive to smugglers. This is why the UAE Government has issues Passports for falcons too.
Falcon Passport in the UAE
Falcon Passport
The Ministry of Environment and Water can issue a falcon passport. This is usually valid for three years and costs around 130 USD. The falcon with a Passport gets an ID number which is tied to one of the legs of the falcon.
Falcons when traveling abroad go through the exact border control procedures as other travelers. The officials verify the ID number on passport and ensure the animal has got the same ID on his leg. Falcons get their Passport stamped when transferred abroad.
Falcon in Flight
Amusing Fact about Falcons:
They are the only animals in the UAE that are legally allowed to travel inside planes. However, Falcons can only travel in business and first class. So, next time if you see a falcon seated beside you, do not be surprised.
Lufthansa Airlines has a custom-designed "falcon tray" for the animals on-board.

Part of a fountain pen that fills using a sack mechanism. The pressure bar is a flat piece of metal (usually brass) that sits between the sack and the barrel of the pen. It is manipulated from an input on the outside of the pen (typically a button at the end of the barrel, or a lever on the side of the pen).
This manipulation either moves or bows the pressure bar, which, in turn, compresses the sack. Everything in the sack is expelled, including ink and air (be careful where you point that thing!). Once the pressure on the bar is removed, the sack is allowed to expand. A vacumm is created, drawing in whatever the surrounds the nib (again, ink, air, or water).
As mentioned buttons and levers are the most common methods of manipulating a pressure bar.

Temporary structures encourage experimentation and have, over the years, resulted in both ground-breaking designs and less worthy architectural conceits. But what will the legacy be of the recently opened Serpentine Gallery Pavilion in London?
Gavin Stamp, Sunday, 1st July 2012
Great architecture should be built for eternity, or at least for a long life, but there is nevertheless a place for the temporary, the ephemeral. Structures designed for a short life can allow an architect to indulge in experiments or in fantasy without having to worry about the inexorable effect of weather and time. And sometimes it is a mercy that architectural conceits are not with us for long, although it is cheering that remarkable temporary buildings can sometimes become permanent – the Cenotaph in London, for instance, was originally constructed of wood and plaster for the 1919 peace celebrations.
Temporary buildings – pavilions, kiosks, follies, and so on – have a long history. There were the classical triumphal arches erected in cities for royal processions or marriages. As the architectural historian Howard Colvin explained: 'It was precisely the ephemeral character of festive displays of the sixteenth, seventeenth and eighteenth centuries that made them important vehicles for new architectural ideas. Being constructed only of insubstantial materials such as timber and canvas, these temporary structures could represent accurately sophisticated architectural designs that could not easily be got through to an unlettered and untravelled mason or bricklayer.' In 1814, John Nash designed a Temple
of Concord in London's Green Park, and a Chinese pagoda on a bridge in nearby St James's Park, for a 'display of joy' to celebrate both the defeat of Napoleon and the Hanoverian dynasty. Unfortunately, the latter had an even shorter life than intended as fireworks caused it to burst into flames.
The national and international exhibitions and world fairs held periodically in more recent times encouraged interesting ephemeral architecture. The receptacle for the first and greatest of them, the Crystal Palace erected in London's Hyde Park in 1851, was intended to be temporary, although its prefabricated iron and glass structure was subseq-uently re-erected at Sydenham. Later exhibitions – Paris in 1900, Glasgow 1901, for instance – were the setting for individual pavilions designed to express national character; these often eccentric essays in National Romanticism or in the art nouveau were frequently designed by leading architects in their own countries. Sometimes these temporary structures were experiments in a new style: the Columbian Exposition at Chicago in 1893 introduced grand Beaux-Arts Classicism to America in plaster over steel, while the 1925 Paris Exposition des Arts Décoratifs gave the name 'Art Deco' to the new non-historical styles adopted for many of the pavilions.
Famously, Paris in 1925 also saw experiments in the austere modern style that would eventually triumph. There was Le Corbusier's Pavillon de l'Esprit Nouveau, but perhaps even more remarkable was the pavilion representing Soviet Russia designed by the Constructivist Konstantin Melnikov, described by one architect visitor as expressing 'the aspirations of the revolution in an exciting and spontaneous manner' (Fig. 1). Then there was the international exposition held in Barcelona in 1929 at which, in retrospect, the most important building was the German pavilion. Intended to represent the progressive character of the Weimar Republic, it introduced the planar manner of Mies van der Rohe to a wider public (Fig. 2). An essay in the use of a steel frame to define and merge both exterior and interior space with planes of rich materials, it contained little but two Barcelona Chairs (for the King and Queen of Spain): the pavilion itself was the exhibit. It existed for only a few months, but its influence was so profound that it was recreated half a century later exactly where it originally stood (with a thicker and more practical roof).
London's opportunity to suggest the future through temporary buildings came with the Festival of Britain, held on the South Bank in 1951 (Fig. 3). Some of the structures, like the gravity-defying Skylon, were there to entertain and astonish; others were intended to show what could be done with new materials and methods of construction. Hugh Casson, the Festival's director of architecture, commented in the film Brief City (1951–52): 'In an exhibition which is temporary and perhaps experimental...there was a blueprint for new towns, light-hearted, sensible, not too dear and never boring.' The temporary architecture on the South Bank was torn down with indecent haste by an incoming Conservative government, denying the possibility of re-erecting some of the buildings – such as the remarkable Dome of Discovery – elsewhere, but the influence of the Festival could not be extinguished.
Half a century on, London again has an exhibition of temporary architecture – one that is continuous. Every summer, a new and different pavilion is erected in front of the Serpentine Gallery in Kensington Gardens. The first, exhibited in 2000, was the work of Zaha Hadid; subsequent designers have included Daniel Libeskind, Rem Koolhaas and Frank Gehry – all architects who can be relied on to produce something unusual and irrational. The results have been very enjoyable, but it would be difficult to argue that any of these functionless conceits have advanced the art of architecture.
This year's pavilion, which was unveiled to the public on 1 June and is open until 14 October, was designed by Herzog & de Meuron (Fig. 4). It is the least impressive of them all architecturally, although arguably the most pretentious. I am not, I confess, an admirer of this Swiss firm's work: its alterations to Bankside Power Station to turn it into Tate Modern seem to me both arrogant and insensitive to the quality of Giles Gilbert Scott's great brick 'cathedral of power' (although I do like its Central Signal Box at Basel Station). At the Serpentine, Herzog & de Meuron's pavilion consists of a circular hole in the ground covered by a free-standing, flat circular roof; this horizontal disc holds a film of water and is supported on differently shaped piers. Underneath, there is a complex arrangement of steps and shelves, all covered in cork, created in collaboration with the artist Ai Weiwei. To make any sense of this, the visitor is obliged to read the text, for it is based on a pattern created by overlaying the shape of earlier pavilions on the site: 'Like a team of archaeologists, we identify these physical fragments as remains of the eleven Pavilions built between 2000 and 2011...A distinctive landscape emerges which is unlike anything we could have invented...'.
Whether this is actually interesting must be a matter of opinion. The most endearing feature is the design of the movable seats made of cork, which are shaped like the stoppers of giant champagne bottles (prototypes for garden furniture?). At least the pavilion establishes a relationship with the Serpentine Gallery itself, for it is placed on its axis, and the upper part of that former tea house built in 1934 in the neo-Georgian manner of Lutyens can be seen reflected in the plane of shallow water. And here is an idea: why not ask one of our modern classical architects to design a pavilion which actually responds to that handsome, if conservative building? That, I fear, would be far too avant-garde a concept for those who give London this annual temporary experiment in architectural fancy.

Secure communications is essential in many areas such as disaster management and battlefield communications. To detect and prevent attacks in such applications, most existing protocols adopt a cryptography-based approach, trust-based approach (reputation of nodes), or incentive-based approach. However, such protocols still have drawbacks, such as expensive overhead, difficulty in maintaining secure key and session management, or leaving routes unsecured against Byzantine attacks. In this paper, we introduce a monitoring-based method in the link state routing protocol to secure the packets' route against Byzantine attacks. The goal of our proposed scheme is to guarantee communication among connected benign nodes in the network. Specifically, each node monitors the action of neighboring nodes and compares the optimal packet route against the packet route history. Nodes in the network create a packet history field which is used to record all activities of an intermediate node when receiving and forwarding packets. Our scheme provides mutual monitoring in which nodes in the network can validate the packet history field of other nodes and report malicious activities. Also, our scheme uses a statistical method to know if a node is dropping packets intentionally by analyzing the packet dropping behavior of each node. The proposed scheme provides protection against colluding attacks and other Byzantine attacks. The proposed monitoring-based method achieves an average of 89% to 96% packet delivery ratio when 11% to 21% active malicious links are excluded from the network.

School of Chemical Engineering and Analytical Science had a group of young professionals working at Siemens over the summer period visit to experience their Siemens hands-on PCS7 workshop.
Over two days the group worked with four different experimental instruments using the control system. This included: – the Froth Flotation, Absorption Column, Three Tank Control and the Liquid Ring Pump. They followed a set of instructions which told them how to use the piece of equipment and also gave an activity specific to each one.
Both days ran smoothly and the group had a great time working with them and will consider visiting again next year!

Demand to attend a tribunal in New York on the Irish Famine was so great that the event has had to be postponed until April 2013. It was originally scheduled for October.
The Irish Famine tribunal was set up by Irish and American scholars to examine British responsibility for the catastrophic events,
However demand was so great for places that it has now had to be postponed.
The new details will be posted on irishfaminetribunal.com before the event takes place over a weekend in April.
Organizers insist it will not just be a Brit bashing episode but a serious look at the causes of the Famine
"Nobody is going to walk into an Irish-American Britbashing exercise," Niall MacGiollabhuí, a Dublin-born, New York attorney and a member of the organising committee told the Irish Sunday Times. "The arguments are finely balanced and it will be difficult to come to a conclusion on it.
"The population of Ireland fell from 8m to 4m through death and emigration caused by the Famine. The event also changed the face of the east coast of America with the huge migration trends it triggered, including the Presbyterian emigrants to the Appalachian mountains."
The purpose of the tribunal is to "examine the responsibility of the British government, under international law, for the tragic consequences of this period". In particular, the tribunal will consider whether the Famine amounted to genocide or a crime against humanity.
The organizers are also planning to make a television documentary.

The Avid Reader Toolkit
Yesterday's winter storm was a fitting prelude to discussions of Snow Falling on Cedars during the Avid Reader Toolkit program. We opened with a fascinating presentation about Japanese culture and beliefs led by Masanouri Takeda, managing director of the Japan-America Society of West Michigan, and a member of the Reading Together Steering Committee. Mr. Takeda explained that Western culture's belief in God has developed "independent humans" seeking to avoid guilt. Japanese culture, on the other hand, has developed "social oriented humans" who seek to avoid shame. He went on to explain that the exclusion and incarceration of Japanese Americans during World War II was particularly painful because it meant they were being separated from society.
Next, we delved into the book with Sherry Ransford Ramsdell, retired English teacher from Kalamazoo Central High School and longtime Reading Together volunteer. Ms. Ramsdell began by showing five types of conflict present in Snow Falling on Cedars, all of which are played out on many levels: Person vs person, person vs society, person vs nature, person vs self, and person vs machine. She praised David Guterson for his "well developed characters," which contribute to the book's complex dramatic tension. And even though the characters are developed to the point that readers may think they understand them well, the story is told from a limited omniscient perspective. You don't know everything, just a little. Because we are not given every character's thoughts and actions, we are treated to a wonderfully rich experience.

More ways to keep up with the latest news from Polk County Public Schools:
The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services recently awarded Roosevelt Academy the Community/School Garden grant. The grant is part of the Specialty Crop Block Grant awarded by the United States Department of Agriculture. The funding will be used to purchase soil and nutrient testing equipment, soilless media for the schools' hydroponic farm, seeds and fertilizer.
Students are responsible for planting, pruning and maintaining the crops grown at Roosevelt Farms, a schoolbased enterprise. The vegetables and herbs are sold the 2nd and 4th Saturday of each month at the Lake Wales Farmers Market and at the Lake Wales Care Center.
But beyond traditional gardens, students maintain vegetation grown using hydroponic growing methods.
The literal interpretation of the word "hydroponics" is working water. In Greek, the word "hydro" means water and "pronos" means labor. Simply, hydroponic gardening is the art of gardening without soil. Water and nutrients like nitrogen, calcium, potassium and phosphate are applied directly to the roots in precise amounts in soilless mixes that retain both resources.


regenerate your wordlist, do the following:
DELETE FROM search_words;
INSERT INTO search_words (word) SELECT DISTINCT lower(word) FROM (SELECT unnest(regexp_split_to_array(lastname, E'\\\\W+')) AS word FROM people) words WHERE word IS NOT NULL AND length(word) > 3;
What that does is explode the lastname field out into words (in case a lastname is multi-word), where each word is its own record. It also filters out excessively short words (optional). It then inserts these into the search_words table, which has a trigram index. So, now, if you want to fuzzy-match individual words, you can use the search_words table!
Anyway, additional fun can be had by using unaccent to remove accents before all of this processing, or other fun to massage your data however you feel is best. The important thing is that, for all but the most strenuous data sets, we can now keep all of the searching located within the database itself, managed by database tools, without having to rely on external search engines such as Lucene, which take time, management, machine power, and their own sets of headaches. Lucene itself often has to be hand-rigged for large datasets even. I am a big believer in pushing as much data work to the database as possible, and PostgreSQL keeps pushing the bar higher!

You've finally got that cute new kitten! But what to name the animal? You don't have to settle for 'Fluffy'. Read these steps and tips and give your cat a name that you both will love!
1Determine the cat's gender. You don't want to name your cat Princess and later discover it's a boy. Determining the gender of a newborn cat can be challenging, regardless of where you acquired the kitten. The best way to do so is by judging the relative distance between the anus and the urinary tract opening.Ad
2Look at the cat's markings. If there is a black splotch surrounding their eye, consider a name like Pirate. If your cat is completely black except for her white paws, consider the traditional but cute name, "Boots".
3Pick a name that everyone in the family will like. If this will be a family cat, make sure to consider the kid's choices too. If the children want to name the kitten after himself/herself, you might not want to take him/her up on his suggestion. But if your sister or brother thinks of "Peanuts", for example, that's not a bad name. Have everyone make a list of three names they think are good options, then share the lists and come up with a name everyone will like.
4Pick a name that suits the cat's personality. If the cat is always hiding, maybe he could be "Bashful". Or if your kitten has a weird habit of crying during thunderstorms, but only when lightning crashes, you could call him/her "Lightning".
5Consider a historical, mythological, fictional or famous name. There are many interesting and unique names available in these categories.
6Make a list of possible names. Say them that you have listed and see how the cat responds. Once you've found one that you like best, stick to it to avoid confusion.
7Reinforce your choice. Pet and spend time with the cat while saying its name over and over.Ad
We could really use your help!
credit and credit-worthiness?
- A different way to name your furry friend is to get word from other languages, then change the way they sound. I named my cat Karena, which I got from Kirena, the Japanese word for beautiful. Just go to google translate, and try out some words. Note that some words have alternate translations.
- Try to choose a name that starts with an ear-catching, recognizable sound, rather than a vowel. This makes it easier for the cat to pick out his/her name among the "blah-blah-blah" of human speech. A cat called Uhura might take much longer to recognize her name as referring to her than any other cat would, and might not start responding to it right away.
- If you're getting two cats at the same time, don't name them "Pretty" and "Litty". As cute as that may seem at first, it will be confusing for: (1) your cats. They won't know who they are! (2) Your family. When you say "Please let Litty outside", your daughter might end up letting Pretty out! (3) Yourself. You will mix your cats up. So end the confusion, and name them different names that don't sound related to each other.
- Cats respond better to names with a long "ee-e" sound, so it may be a good idea to name your cat "Spunky" instead of "Whiskers".
- Avoid giving your cat a 'people name.' If you're hanging out with Sam, and you call your cat, who will know who you're talking to if your cat's name is Sam? If you insist on a name that people use, make it a unusual and uncommon name, like Tabitha.
- If you've lost all hope, and it's a boy's name you need, call it Felix! Felix means "lucky" in Latin, so maybe some luck will rub off on him.
- Ask friends, family, or even neighbors for a name! Body markings are also a good way to name a cat.
- Try to give your cat a name with two or three syllables, because you will, believe it or not, end up shortening your kitty's name. If you name him "Sandwich", you will start calling him "San", and that's not a great name.
- If your cat already had a name when you got it, continue using it.
- If you're set on finding a unique name, try searching through the following website: Behindthename.com, which is filled with uncommon and common names from all different cultures. Granted, some of these names will be more cat-like than others, but keep looking because eventually you will find one.
- Don't change its name too often. Alfie to Smudge is fine, but Massie to Midnight to Sooty to Spooky! The poor puss!
- Before you even name your cat, make sure he or she comes from a reliable source with a well-established medical history. This includes knowing about any past illnesses and medications. Is the cat up-to-date with vaccinations and dewormings? What about FIV/FeLV test results? Does it have a microchip?

The Hippopus clam is also known as Horse's Hoof, Bear Paw or Strawberry Clam. The shell of this clam is very thick with prominent ribs, and has reddish blotches making it easy to differentiate from other clams. The mantle of these clams does not extend past the edge of the shell, and are brownish-green to gray in color with faint gold stripes. The large opening in the mantle, which is called the incurrent aperture, lacks the tentacles that are common with other clams within the Tridacnidae family. These are relatively fast growing clams that process a lot of water for their size which helps in controlling nutrients in a reef aquarium.
A well-established reef aquarium with moderately high lighting is ideal for the Hippopus Clam. These clams prefer to be seated in the substrate with a low to moderate water current. As they grow, they will eventually loose their byssal gland, and will rely on their weight to keep them in place. It is ideal to place these clams on a flat rock that is buried in the substrate to keep access to the byssal opening away from any potential predators.
The Hippopus Clam requires calcium levels of at least 280 mg/L, preferably 380-440 mg/L, as well as adequate strontium and iodine. They require moderately high lighting from which they receive part of their required nutrition. They also need nutrients within the water in which they can feed. Provide phytoplankton in the form of a filter feeding food, weekly. They also feed upon ammonia and nitrates within the aquarium, and are a good addition to the reef aquarium for helping control these nutrients.
Approximate Purchase Size: Small 1 3/4" to 2 1/4"; Medium 2 1/4" to 2 3/4"; Medium/Large: 2-3/4" to 3-1/4"; Large 3- 1/4" - 4" XLarge: 4" to 5"; XXLarge" 5' to 5-1/2"

The title of this article is the very question my current client and I have been trying to solve for many months now. This health organization had previously done a data migration from their Misys EHR system to Allscripts TouchWorks™, but at that time were unable to migrate the EKGs and Holters from Midmark because of the difficulty of rendering those files in the target EHR. Recently, we began working on completely archiving their Misys EHR data into the Galen VitalCenter Online Archival (VCO-A) solution and we hit the same snag with the EKGs/Holters.
Ultimately, the challenge was that Midmark has an integration with the legacy EHR (in this case Misys) where the actual result images are stored in the Informix database in a ".car (compressed archive report)" format. This format is troublesome because most EHRs and archival applications require the file type to be in a more standard format – ie: Tiff, PDF, doc, etc. Since the data migration had already been completed years ago, we were now solely focused on how to convert these files into our VCO-A environment as PDFs.
We searched far and wide for other folks who encountered and solved this same issue and didn't find any great leads. After some internal discussions and trials, we were able to come up with a solution to convert the.car files to PDF format and then treat them just like any other image file.
- First step was to extract the.car files from the Informix database to a file on disk.
- In order to associate the patient to the converted PDF, It was important for us to also maintain the metadata.
- We were then able to leverage the IQManager application to view.car files.
- This same program can open and save the file to PDF.
- The system had over 200k.car files and doing this process manually one at a time was not feasible.
- The next step was to write a script that allowed us to automate the process of the IQManager application opening and saving the.car files as PDFs.
- We then needed to make sure that we kept a standard naming convention of the files so the PDF matched the name of the.car file and could be associated to the correct patient.
- Another key piece of the process was that we needed to have a dedicated server running this solution, as it was crucial for the conversion process to run uninterrupted. The entire process to convert all of the.car files to PDF took roughly one week, after which, we were able to proceed with the rest of the archival process.
As with all of our data migrations, we leveraged a plugin-based itinerary pipeline architecture within our GalenETL platform to ensure accuracy, repeatability, audit-ability and efficiency. Data migration best practice requires a robust audit trail to provide a reliable method to track data back to the source. Leveraging our platform with established libraries allowed for ease in automation, intelligent matching, and ultimately, file type conversion while maintaining fidelity.
This is just one example of many that we have encountered when migrating data from one EHR to another and archiving data into VCO-A. It serves as a reminder that many systems store data in different ways, and it might not always be a straightforward process to back up the data. If you are experiencing a similar issue with.car or any other file types, please reach out to the Galen team and remember to visit our wiki for other useful tips and tricks.

Recent progress in the development of high-speed lightwave components has made subcarrier multiplexing (SCM)1 an attractive technique for multi-channel lightwave networks. SCM-based networks can support data throughputs of several Gb/s without using high-speed switching or sophisticated optical devices. In this paper we describe a demonstration of a SCM-based bidirectional distribution system in which 8 remote nodes are connected to a head-end through a 1×8 passive fiber coupler. Wideband services for the 8 nodes (8×180 Mb/s) are transmitted from a single head-end laser using 8 frequency-shift keyed (FSK) subcarrier channels. Each node returns data to the head-end using a separate laser and a unique subcarrier frequency.

of several different hard disk options including the following:
 - External RAID volumes such as the NI HDD-8263 and HDD-8264
 - External USB 2.0 hard disk (tested with Western Digital Passport Hard Drive)
Each of these hard drive configurations is capable of supporting more than 20 MB/s of continuous data streaming. Thus, any of these options enable both simulation and record and playback of GPS signals. A later section in this paper describes how you can use a combination of simulated and recorded GPS waveforms for comprehensive characterization of GPS receiver performance.
Creating Simulated GPS Signals
Because a GPS receiver uses satellite message data to obtain almanac and ephemeris information, this information is required for simulation of GPS signals as well. Supplied as a text file, almanac and ephemeris data provides information about satellite location, altitude, health, and orbit patterns. In addition, you can use the waveform creation process to select custom parameters such as time of week (TOW), location (longitude-latitude-altitude), and simulated receiver velocity. Based on this information, the toolkit automatically selects up to 12 satellites, calculates all Doppler shift and pseudorange information, and produces the resulting baseband waveform. To help you get started, sample almanac and ephemeris files are included in the toolkit installer. In addition, you can download them directly from the following sites:
With custom almanac and ephemeris files, you can create GPS signals from specific dates and times going back several years. When selecting these files, it is important to choose files that correspond to the same date. In general, almanac and ephemeris information is updated daily, and files from the same day should be used when choosing a specific date and time. Note that ephemeris files are often downloaded in a compressed *.Z format. Thus, you must extract the file with an unzip utility before using it with the GPS Simulation Toolkit.
Using the GPS Simulation Toolkit in "automatic mode," where Doppler and pseudorange information is programmatically calculated, covers most GPS simulation use cases, but you can also use the toolkit in manual mode to specify each satellite's information independently. Table 2 shows the available input parameters for both modes of operation.
1LLA (longitude, latitude, altitude)
Table 2. Default Values for Automatic and Manual GPS Simulation Toolkit Mode
Note the GPS time of week is automatically coerced by the GPS Simulation Toolkit to a range of possible values specified by the ephemeris file. Thus, if a chosen value is out of range of the given ephemeris file, the GPS Simulation Toolkit automatically selects the next-closest possible value and reports a warning to the user. You can use an example program, "niGPS Write Waveform To File," to create GPS baseband waveforms (automatic mode). Figure 4 shows the front panel.
Figure 4. You can create GPS test waveforms with a simple example program.
The specific measurements you choose determine the type of GPS test file that you create. For example, when measuring receiver sensitivity, you should use a single-satellite simulation. On the other hand, measurements that require a position fix (such as TTFF and position accuracy) require you to use a GPS signal that simulates multiple satellites. Because of this, the GPS Simulation Toolkit includes example programs for both single-satellite and multiple-satellite simulations.
Recording GPS Signals Off the Air
One increasingly common method of creating GPS waveforms is by recording them off the air. In this scenario, signals are recorded with a vector signal analyzer (such as the NI PXI-5661) and the recorded data is generated with a vector signal generator (such as the NI PXIe-5672). Because recording GPS signals enables you to capture real-world signal impairments, you can use signal playback to observe how the receiver will perform in its deployment environment.
You can record GPS signals off the air in a fairly straightforward manner. In an RF recording system, appropriate antennas and amplifiers are combined with a PXI vector signal analyzer and hard disk to capture up to several hours of continuous data. For example, a 2 TB RAID (redundant array of inexpensive disks) is capable of recording up to 25 hours of GPS waveform. The specific technologies that enable streaming are not discussed here, but you can find more information and example code at _URL_. In the following sections, explore how to configure an appropriate RF front end for an RF record and playback system.
Each type of wireless communications signal has different requirements for bandwidth, center frequency, and required gain. In the case of GPS, the essential requirement is to record 2.046 MHz of RF bandwidth at a center frequency of 1.57542 GHz. Based on the bandwidth requirements, the sample rate must be at least 2.5 MS/s (1.25 x 2 MHz). Note that the 1.25 multiplier is based on the filter roll-off of the PXI-5661 DDC (digital downconverter) at the decimation stage.
In the tests described below, a sample rate of 5 MS/s (20 MB/s) was used to ensure the entire bandwidth was captured. Because you can achieve data rates of 20 MB/s or more with standard PXI controller hard drives, it is not necessary to use an external RAID volume to stream GPS signals to disk. However, National Instruments recommends using an external hard disk for two reasons. First, you can increase overall storage capacity and record multiple waveforms. Second, the use of external hard disks does not introduce undue stress on the hard drive of the PXI controller. In the tests described below, a USB 2.0 external hard disk was used. This drive, a 320 GB Western Digital Passport, operates at a disk speed of 5400 rpm. During this testing, typical read and write speeds were on the order of 25 to 28 MB/s. Thus, you can use it for both simulated (6 MB/s) and recorded (20 MB/s) GPS waveform data streaming.
The trickiest aspect of recording GPS signals is selecting and configuring the appropriate antenna and low-noise amplifier (LNA). Observe that with a typical passive patch antenna, the typical peak power in the L1 GPS band ranges from -120 to -110 dBm (the tests showed power at -116 dBm). Because the power level of GPS signals is so small, significant amplification is required to ensure that the vector signal analyzer can capture the full dynamic range of the satellite signals. While there are several ways to apply the appropriate level of gain to the signal, you can achieve the best results when using an active GPS antenna with the NI PXI-5690 preamplifier. With two cascaded LNAs, each providing 30 dB of gain, the total gain applied is 60 dB (30 + 30). Thus, the resulting peak power observed by the vector signal analyzer is increased from -116 to -56 dBm. An example system using this configuration is shown in Figure 5.
Figure 5. GPS receivers implement cascaded LNAs.
Note that one essential requirement of the recording system is the active GPS antenna. An active GPS antenna combines a patch antenna and an LNA into a single package. These antennas typically require a DC bias voltage of 2.5 to 5 V, and you can easily purchase them off-the-shelf for about $20 USD. For simplicity, use one with an SMA connector. The following section shows how the noise figure of the first LNA in an RF front end is crucial to ensuring that the recording instrumentation adds as little noise as possible to the off-the-air signal. Also note that the vector signal analyzer shown in Figure 5 is a simplified diagram. The actual PXI-5661 is a three-stage super-heterodyne vector signal analyzer that is slightly more complex than the illustration in Figure 5.
When you apply 60 dB to the off-the-air signal, you should observe the peak power in the L1 at about -60 to -50 dBm. If you configure the vector signal analyzer in swept spectrum mode to analyze the entire spectrum, note that the power in bands outside the L1 band (FM and cellular) rise to power levels that are actually higher than the GPS signal. However, the peak power of out-of-band signals does not typically exceed -20 dBm, and is filtered by one of the vector signal analyzer's several bandpass filters. One of the easiest ways to verify that the RF front end of the recording device is sufficient is by opening the RFSA demo panel example program. Using this program, you can visualize the RF spectrum at the L1 GPS band. A typical view of the spectrum is shown in Figure 6. Note that this spectrum screenshot was taken outdoors at the GPS center frequency. An active GPS antenna and PXI-5690 preamplifier were used to apply a combined total of 60 dB of gain.

Chestnut Ridge, N.Y. LeCroy has introduced the SDA 7 Zi oscilloscope with SDA II that redefines serial data analysis in an oscilloscope by providing compliance testing together with five new debugging methodologies.
The new scope adds the following five debugging tools.
- Visually predicts bit error rate directly on the eye
- Provides dual methods of decomposing jitter that are presented both numerically and with insightful displays
- Provides Quick-View, for an intuitive eye and jitter breakdown master display
- Measures millions of unit intervals at speeds up to 50 times faster than any other oscilloscope
- Integrates both compliance testing and SDA II debugging tools for complete drill down to find the source of the failure
SDA II includes IsoBER, an analysis tool that extrapolates the eye diagram data and displays the lines of Bit Error Rate directly on the eye. This helps to quickly determine the minimum eye opening and also is instrumental in detecting cross-talk by analyzing the vertical eye closure. These measurements are not possible with standard eye diagram techniques such as Mask testing, because those techniques lack quantitative analysis of vertical noise and jitter, said LeCroy.
The SDA 7 Zi oscilloscopes are based on the recently released WavePro 7 Zi Series and are equipped with double the standard memory to capture more unit intervals in the eye diagram. In addition, because LeCroy's X-Stream II architecture is up to 50 times faster than other oscilloscopes, the results of two decomposition algorithms for jitter analysis can be calculated simultaneously for the first time.
SDA II also provides intuitive graphical views of jitter decomposition to quickly determine the root cause of problems. To understand deterministic jitter values and their sources, SDA II features a Periodic Jitter Spectrum that identifies the sources contributing the highest values of Periodic Jitter (PJ), an ISI Plot that isolates bit patterns that contribute the most Intersymbol Interference (ISI), and a DDJ Histogram for deeper insight into the distribution of Data Dependent Jitter (DDJ).
The SDA 7 Zi features an industrial design with an industry-first 15.3-inch, 16:9 high definition display equipped with a touch screen, and can be extended to an integrated second display of equal size and resolution. The removable front panel allows engineers to place the control-pod next to the circuit under test.
LeCroy's new serial interface bus, LSIB, enables data to be transferred 10-100 times faster. In addition, TriggerScan and WaveScan, special modes for finding rare events, shorten the time to debug a new design.

Degree polynomial for vertices in a graph and its behavior under graph operations
Comment.Math.Univ.Carolin. 63,4 (2022) 397-413.
Abstract: We introduce a new concept namely the degree polynomial for the vertices of a simple graph. This notion leads to a concept, namely, the degree polynomial sequence which is stronger than the concept of degree sequence. After obtaining the degree polynomial sequence for some well-known graphs, we prove a theorem which gives a necessary condition for the realizability of a sequence of polynomials with positive integer coefficients. Also we calculate the degree polynomial for the vertices of the join, Cartesian product, tensor product, and lexicographic product of two simple graphs and for the vertices of the complement of a simple graph. Some examples, counterexamples, and open problems concerning these subjects is given as well.

Understanding weight distribution and load capacity, as well as complying with local and state regulations, are vital for a successful and secure installation.
Let's delve into these key points to ensure you're well-informed before taking on this diy project.
Understanding Weight Distribution And Load Capacity:
- Distributing the weight appropriately: Proper weight distribution is crucial to maintain stability and prevent accidents while towing. Understanding how weight is distributed between your vehicle and the trailer is essential.
- Hitch classes and their load capacity: Trailer hitches come in different classes, each with specific load capacities. It's important to choose a hitch class that matches your towing requirements and also falls within your vehicle's towing capacity.
- Tongue weight: Tongue weight refers to the downward force applied by the trailer tongue on the hitch ball. It's important to ensure that the tongue weight falls within the recommended range to avoid excessive strain on the hitch and the rear suspension of your vehicle.
- Gross trailer weight rating (gtwr): The gtwr is the maximum weight a fully loaded trailer can have. Make sure that the gtwr of your trailer is within the towing capacity of your vehicle to avoid overloading.
Complying With Local And State Regulations For Trailer Hitches:
- Check local and state laws: Before installing a trailer hitch, it's crucial to research and understand the regulations governing trailer hitches in your location. These regulations may include restrictions on towing capacity, trailer size, and the use of safety devices such as trailer brakes and safety chains.
- Obtain necessary permits and certifications: Some jurisdictions require permits or certification for certain types of trailers or hitches. Make sure to check if you need any specific permissions before proceeding with the installation.
- Lighting and signaling requirements: Trailer hitches often require additional lighting and signaling equipment to ensure visibility and safety on the road. Familiarize yourself with the lighting and signaling requirements, such as brake lights, turn signals, and reflectors, to ensure compliance.
Now that you have a good understanding of the weight distribution and load capacity considerations, as well as the important regulations to adhere to, you can proceed with confidence in installing your own trailer hitch. Remember, safety should always be the top priority, so take the time to do thorough research and consult professionals if needed.

The first step in calculating how much child or spousal support one ex-spouse must pay the other is to determine the paying spouse's income. The starting point for this is the amount reported on line 150 of the payor's most recent tax return. However, the determination does not end with line 150, since the income set out there may not always fairly reflect what a person should pay in support.
Under Canadian family law, a payor spouse has an obligation to earn what he or she is capable of earning, and not just what is reported in their tax returns. The Federal Child Support Guidelines (the Guidelines) allow the courts to impute an income to a person in order to meet this obligation. In other words, the court can attribute a higher income to the paying spouse than what is listed on line 150.
Where a payor is intentionally underemployed or unemployed or is using tax strategies to reduce his or her taxable income, the court may impute an income to the payor to ensure that he or she pays the appropriate level of support. In particular, section 19 of the Guidelines sets out the following non-exhaustive list of circumstances where the court may impute an income to a payor:
- The spouse is intentionally underemployed or unemployed, other than where the under employment or unemployment is required by the needs of a child of the marriage or any child under the age of majority or by reasonable education or health needs of the spouse.
- The spouse is exempt from paying federal or provincial income tax.
- The spouse lives in a country that has effective rates of income tax that are significantly lower than those in Canada.
- It appears that income has been diverted which would affect the level of support to be determined under the Guidelines.
- The spouse's property is not reasonably utilized to generate income;
- The spouse has failed to provide income information where under a legal obligation to do so.
- The spouse unreasonably deducts expenses from income.
- The spouse derives a significant portion of income from dividends, capital gains or other sources that are taxed at a lower rate than employment or business income or that are exempt from tax.
- The spouse is a beneficiary under a trust and is or will be in receipt of income or other benefits from the trust.
Keep in mind, this list of circumstances in not exhaustive. Ultimately, the court has a broad discretion to impute income to a payor to ensure they meet their legal obligation to pay support commensurate to his or her earning capacity.


identiﬁed speciﬁc technical areas where SDL
could be more closely aligned with the needs of IoT developers. Challenges
include
– loss or delay of signals depending on load on a communication channel;
– unwanted interaction between a new IoT system and environmental agents.
These both stem from the fact that IoT systems depend on a shared, publicly
accessible communications infrastructure.
A related concern is that signals in an SDL model are consumed by a single
recipient, but addressing requirements for reliability and for privacy in an IoT
system entails taking account of the fact that signals might be consumed by
multiple environmental agents as well as by their intended recipient.
It should be emphasised that all these situations can already be modelled
using SDL 2010, but that modelling and simulation could be made more direct
and intuitive for the IoT developer by introducing the changes discussed below.
Each of the following sections addresses one of these challenges. Section 2
addresses signal delay in a busy network. It outlines a smart city scenario, identiﬁes support provided by SDL 2010, and proposes a modiﬁcation to the SDL
delaying channel. Section 3 explores the problem of unwanted interactions with
external systems. It introduces a simple situation involving two scientiﬁc investigations in a remote location, explores the diﬀerences between classical telecommunications feature interaction and the kinds of unwanted interaction likely
to occur in the IoT, and proposes a language extension based on the channel
substructure of SDL 96. Section 4 considers situations where multiple recipients
respond to an event. For each of these challenges, the aim is to provide language
facilites to support the work of the IoT developer while retaining the beneﬁts
of SDL. Other important IoT challenges that were also identiﬁed in [1], such as
power management, co-design of hardware and software, and targeting of new
IoT platforms, that relate to use of SDL and to tool support for SDL rather than
to the language itself, are not addressed here but will be the subject of future
work.

Signals in a Busy Network
"The impact of deployment of an IoT system in contexts with numerous
of other systems making use of the same communication resources causing
potential delays and loss of messages is supported in SDL only to a limited
degree. SDL may be extended with features to specify possible loss and
delay of signals based on the load on a communication path." [1].
In a busy network, delay or even loss of signals is likely. An engineer uses
modelling and simulation to predict the behaviour of an IoT system in a network
whose communications resources are shared with many other systems.
2.1
Scenario: Bristol Is Open
Bristol Is Open, a joint venture between the University of Bristol and Bristol
City Council1 , collects sensor data from waste bins, street lights, volunteers'
smart phones and GPS devices, and from many other sources. This data can be
used for research or for creative activity, but a key intention is to create an open
programmable city. Ideas include automatic diversion of traﬃc in response to
road congestion, or text messages to notify people of problems with air quality
in particular areas.
With so much data being collected from so many sources, and so many actuating signals being sent in response to that data, delay or loss of signals is
highly likely. This is a real-time problem. Signiﬁcant delays in notifying citizens
about problems with air quality, or in establishing road traﬃc diversions are not
acceptable, and a good model allows such delays to be predicted.
Real-time behaviour is modelled in SDL in terms of a global time that
increases as a simulation proceeds. The current value of global time is accessed
by means of the SDL now expression, and is used in conjunction with SDL
timers. This model of time is not expressive enough to meet all the needs of
real-time systems developers [6], and over the years modelling and simulation
of real-time activities in SDL have attracted considerable attention. An intermediate representation for SDL enabled investigation of alternative meanings
of time in SDL [7] as well as facilitating diﬀerent kinds of model analysis by
supporting tool-set integration. Real-time extensions to SDL introduced in [6]
were further developed in [8]. Such approaches provide powerful mechanisms for
modelling and simulating passage of time. However, providing controllable time
would require a signiﬁcant change to the SDL semantics [9].
2.2
Modelling Delay with Delaying Channels in SDL 2010
Using SDL 2010 without modiﬁcation or extension, the kind of delay that might
be expected in a busy network can be modelled using a delaying channel, as

SDL: Meeting the IoT Challenge

illustrated in Fig. 1a. A signal placed on a delaying channel is delayed for an
indeterminate period of time, and delaying channels are used to simulate the
behaviour of IoT systems communicating over a busy, shared network.
However, in order to model the behaviour of systems that are deployed in
a network that also supports large and varying populations of external agents,
it would be useful to be able to model delays whose variability was conditioned
by network traﬃc density. That is, engineers need to be able to design and run
simulation experiments that reveal the behaviour of a system under diﬀerent
network traﬃc conditions. In other words, they need to run experiments in which
network traﬃc acts as the independent variable controlled by the engineer, and
signal loss or delay depends on network traﬃc.
2.3
Proposed Modiﬁcation
A modiﬁcation to SDL delaying channels is proposed that allows the engineer
to specify a delay function that takes account of traﬃc on the channel. This
modiﬁcation provides some control over how the passage of time is modelled but
does not change the underlying SDL time semantics. Figure 1(b) illustrates a
proposed modiﬁcation to SDL2010 that provides a reference to a named delaying
function.

Digital gaming may be more popular than ever. But if you want to protect your thinking skills as you get older, try taking up chess – or another type of non-digital game. That's the conclusion of University of Edinburgh psychologists, who found people who regularly played board games and cards in their 70s scored better in cognitive tests than those who didn't.
You don't have to be a board game enthusiast all your life to reap the rewards either. The study – published in The Journals of Gerontology, Series B: Psychological Sciences and Social Sciences – found that people who played more during their 70s than when they were younger were more likely to maintain cognitive health as they became older.
The study followed more than a thousand people, testing them on their memory and problem solving skills as well as their thinking speed and general thinking ability. They were tested first at the age of 70, then again every three years until they were 79. The participants were all born in 1936 and are part of a study called the Lothian Birth Cohort. When they were 11 years old they also took part in the Scottish Mental Survey of 1947, which included an intelligence test. The researchers analysed the results of all the tests, including those taken in 1947, and took other relevant lifestyle factors into account. And they concluded people who played more non-digital games in later life had less of a decline in their thinking skills in their 70s, particularly memory function and thinking speed.
"These latest findings add to evidence that being more engaged in activities during the life course might be associated with better thinking skills in later life," says Dr Drew Altschul of the university's School of Philosophy, Psychology and Language Sciences. ""For those in their 70s or beyond, another message seems to be that playing non-digital games may be a positive behaviour in terms of reducing cognitive decline."
The Lothian Birth Cohort study has one of the longest follow-up times in the world, and researchers have been working with the data since 1999 to assess how thinking power changes over a human lifetime. This latest study was supported by Age UK as well as the Medical Research Council.
"Even though some people's thinking skills can decline as we get older, this research is further evidence that it doesn't have to be inevitable," says the charity's director, Caroline Abrahams.
"The connection between playing board games and other non-digital games later in life and sharper thinking and memory skills adds to what we know about steps we can take to protect our cognitive health, including not drinking excess alcohol, being active and eating a healthy diet."

New Chicago was originally called West Chicago – located on the west bank of Flint Creek. New Chicago was created to be a commercial trade and transportation center between the junction of Mullan road, south of Drummond and Philipsurg. The town had a Post Office where the founder of the town, John A. Featherman, was the post master. It also included hotels, saloons, stables, blacksmith shop, Wells Fargo office, four mill and of course a saloon.
A school was built in 1874 for pupils who run the gamut from six years to six feet. The school was later restored and is now located in Drummond. The arrival of the railroad to Drummond in 1883 dashed the hopes and dreams of New Chicago as the town quickly became a ghost town. The town is no longer in existence – only the pasture stands in what was once a trade center. All other buildings have been moved to other locations for various uses.

News Live from Manchester
Campaign launched to raise awareness of illegal backyard breeding
 - The NQ today launches the Pets Not Profit, _TAG_ campaign.
 - Led by NQ reporter Sarah Kerrigher, the campaign aims to raise more awareness of this illegal act with the intent to reduce the amount of illegal overbreeding in the UK.
Less than 12% of puppies born in Great Britain every year are bred by licensed breeders, meaning 88% of puppies born in the UK are born to unlicensed breeders. New laws have come into place in hope to reduce the number of illegal breeders in the UK –requiring owners to obtain a licence in order to legally breed, with thorough checks being carried out on the living conditions of pets.
Backyard Breeding is a term used to describe amateur animal breeders whose breeding is considered substandard, with little or misguided effort towards ethical, selective breeding. This includes animals that are bred for specific purposes - such as bulldogs for flat faces.
French Bulldogs, bred for their specific facial features.
It is important to note that it is not only the breeders that are to blame for this but also those who buy from unethical breeders, as they are condoning this animal abuse. Many female cats and dogs are forced into overbreeding in awful conditions, where their litter is sold off for outlandish prices, in order for the owner to make a profit.
The campaigns aim is also to encourage people to check conditions thoroughly before adopting animals, in an attempt to stop backyard breeding altogether.

Althea Neale Gibson: A Pioneer in International Tennis
In honour of Black History Month, we pay tribute to Althea Neale Gibson, a true pioneer in international tennis. Born on August 25, 1927, in Silver Clarendon County, South Carolina, Gibson grew up in Harlem, New York, during a time of racial segregation in the United States.
In the 1950s, Gibson emerged as one of the world's most prominent tennis players, despite facing discrimination and segregation. Her skills on the court were undeniable, and she soon became the first Black athlete to cross the colour line of international tennis.
In 1956, Gibson won the French Open, becoming the first Black person to win a Grand Slam tennis tournament. She won the French Open again in 1957 and went on to win both Wimbledon and the U.S. Open in 1957 and 1958, solidifying her position as one of the top tennis players of her time.
Gibson's achievements paved the way for future generations of Black athletes in tennis and beyond. She was inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame in 1971 and the International Women's Sports Hall of Fame in 1980. Gibson also played professional golf and was the first Black woman to join the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA).
Her legacy lives on as a testament to her courage, determination, and perseverance in the face of adversity. Althea Neale Gibson's continues to inspire and impact people around the world. She paved the way for future generations of Black athletes to pursue their dreams and break down barriers in sports and beyond. Her achievements in tennis and golf, combined with her unyielding spirit and determination, have solidified her place in history as a true pioneer and champion of equality. Today, we honour Althea Neale Gibson and her contributions to the world of sports and beyond.

Today, it does not matter how intelligent you are but it sure does matter how many intelligent gadgets you own in your house.
Everything has a mind of its own and every object is linked to online technology in some way.
In this article, we are talking about the Generac Generator. This is a smart device, to say the least.
People have fallen in love because of the device's capabilities like sensing a power outage and turning it on by itself so that you do not have to spend a minute in the dark ages.
You do not even need to be physically present at your home for the device to turn on. It can do so on its own but we are not here to rave about the features of the Generac Smart generator.
This blog is dedicated to the question of how to fix Generac error code 2800. The device operates with complex technology and hence, is prone to errors.
The good part is that there are several error codes that will help you find out what exactly is wrong and what needs to be fixed to make full use of your device.
In the subsequent section, we will also see why is the error present and what the error means in the first place.
What is error code 2800 on a Generac generator?
There are many different errors that are common on the Generac generator and these can occur due to negligence on the user's part, or a fault in the system.
Decoding the error is important before you take steps towards fixing it. So, what does the error code 2800 signify?
The error code 2800 on the Generac generator means that the generator is no longer running. It can be due to the auxiliary switch being turned off or an alarm buzzing.
We will discuss the reasons behind this in the next section.
causes of error 2800 on your Generac generator?
Now let us dive into what is causing your Generac generator to stop and display the error message 2800.
There are a couple of reasons that can best explain this error occurrence.
- The Auxillary shutdown button has been pressed/is Open.
- The wiring of the generator is faulty
There might be a couple more reasons in play but these are the ones that make the most sense.
How To Fix Generac error code 2800?
There are not many reasons for the Genarc generator to show error 2800 apart from the reasons mentioned above.
The error code however comes with a warning that says 'Service Required'.This might be alarming to you and you might have been seriously considering the servicing option but there is no need.
There are some easy fixes that you can apply and the generator will start running without a service.
Fix 1: The wiring of the generator is faulty
The error 2800, indicates that one of the two auxiliary switches, in some cases even both of them are turned off.
This error can also appear when the wires connecting the generator to the switch are broken in which case, it does not matter whether the switch is on or off as the connecting circuit is damaged.
This is one of the first things you should check when you receive this error message as it is also the easiest one to fix.
If you find that the wire is broken, just simply replace the wire and the generator should be back after a normal refresh. We will also mention how to refresh the generator after troubleshooting it in the next section.
Fix 2: One of the auxiliary switches is turned off
There are two auxiliary switches on the generator and they are arranged as toggle switches. One of them is located internally and the other one is located externally at the back of the device.
Usually, the auxiliary switch that is located outside, is more prone to accidental switch off as it comes in contact with many external factors.
When you notice that the generator is flashing error 2800, after taking a look at the circuit, check the external auxiliary switch. Turn that on and refresh if it was off.
If everything is okay with the external switch, then move to the internal switch and open the device to take a look. Switch it on and refresh the system to see if the trouble is eradicated.
How to refresh the system after the troubleshooting?
The system seems to be in a rut even after you turn on the auxiliary switches or change the wiring because it needs a system refresh to register the new changes.
Here are the steps to refresh the system after the troubleshooting session has ended.
- Locate the red button that is to switch off the system.
- Press the Off button
- Now locate the grey button that is for the Enter command.
- Press the Enter button
- Locate the green button that initiates the auto turn-on for the generator
- Press the Auto button to let the generator start the automatic operations.
- The system of the generator will be refreshed and will start with the changes registered.
What to do when nothing works?
If there is a serious issue with the Generac generator, then the fixes above might not work for you.
In these cases, you might also experience that both the auxiliary switches are on and the wires connecting the generator to the switch are also proper without any breaks. This may indicate a deep-seated error in the system or the hardware of the generator.
At this point, you should contact the support helpline for the Generac generator and describe your problem.
They will send a technician to examine what is wrong and help you with the device. You might also receive a replacement piece if you are eligible for that.
The error 2800 might read as service required but in some cases, this might not be true. There are some minor issues related to the auxiliary switches and the connecting wires.
We have mentioned how you can solve these minor kinks and get your system to run efficiently without any errors.
Do not forget to refresh the system once you apply the troubleshooting tips and the mentioned solutions so that the system can register the change and respond accordingly. If nothing works, your best option is to contact the customer support team.
We hope that this was helpful. Keep following for more tech updates and advice.

4 Models of family Power
0 / 5. 0
FOUR MODELS OF FAMILY POWER Student's Name Course Title: Course Name Date Patriarchal Model This model is ubiquitous in most societies even to the present age. In most Christian homes, there is a belief that the Scripture commands man as the head of the family, which implies that the man should be the lord of his household and that submission means that the wife should kneel to his authority. Nevertheless, it should be noted that the scripture calls for shared deference and the servant role model developed by Jesus (Philippians 2:5-8 and Ephesians 5:21) should be used as a guide. God requires both the husband and the wife to keep the glory and fear of the Lord ever before them. The entire submission is made only to the Jesus who was acquired them by the priceless value of life. Democratic-Exchange Model This model is premised on a belief that authority and control dwells in the family entity in its entirety. Family strategies are derived from negotiations and bargains. The use of power gives room for say to every member of the family, but since parents are the ones with the resources, they often have the upper hand about the family power compared to the other members of the family. This implies that they have an ultimate say in most decisions made in the family. The Self-Interest Model Societies in the present age are full of materialistic and self-centered hedonistic individuals. They keep on making bargains with their interests first. This is a major concern for many. In this model, the personal interests become primal compared to the needs of the others. In this model, people compete for places of authority, which inadvertently leads to a chaotic
