The making of a smart pillow
Designing an object with intent through a data-enabled design process
For my graduation, I did research on designing intelligent artefacts, their interactions and how data could be used in the process. This was done in the context of leisure in the living room. The result of this was a smart pillow that could actively provide comfort to users through hugging and by helping them to avoid slouching. The pillow prototype could sense the pressure applied on it, how it is positioned in space, and how warm it is. To get to this result traditional methods, such as user observations, interviews, tests, prototyping, desk research and co-creation, were used and sensor data was integrated into them. This was done by visualising the data and connecting it to the behaviour and experience of participants. The visualisation that proved most valuable in this is one were the pillow was recreated digitally and had the sensor data projected on it. This created something similar to a digital twin. By placing a video from the user next to it, the direct relationship between the usage and data could be seen. This allowed data to be used as a creative material and sparked a constant back and forth between data and usage. Based on this and other insights the interaction with the pillow was designed.
The goal of this project was to research on the design of intelligent artefacts, their interactions and how data could be used in the process. To do this I used leisure in the living room as a case study. The project consisted of four phases, context exploration, concept development, perspective and finally concept design. During each phase, I utilised three types of data, machine data, behavioural data and subjective data. Each provided a unique perspective and more insights were found at the intersections between data.
During the first phase, the goal was to thoroughly understand how people relaxed in the context of a living room. To do so, a user test was set up where users were asked to relax inside a living room for an hour. During this time their behaviour was recorded and observed. Afterwards, they were interviews about their time and their daily lives with regards to relaxation. As an additional layer, pressure sensors were placed on the couch and covered with a blanket. This provided an additional perspective on their behaviour.
Afterwards, the data from the user test processed and analysed. For the interview, this meant transcribing the test and using ATLAS.ti to select and categorize quotes. Then these were analysed both inside of ATLAS.it and on paper. From here a model was created about their behaviour. The behavioural data was processed by labelling specific behaviours and visualising when they took place. The data from the sensors were placed on top of this to compare the two.
The results of these three types of data were compared to psychology research. Most noteworthy was the paper of Newman et al (2013), leisure and subjective well-being: a model of psychological mechanisms as mediating factors. To help me put the psychology research and my own research into perspective and formulate a clear design goal I organised a creative facilitated session. The session was let by a peer and was done in collaboration with students and users. Based on the performed research the following design goal was formulated.
I want to increase people's subjective well-being during leisure after work by improving the quality of recovery-detachment and enforcing them to take control of how long they recover-detach.
As a first step in the second phase, a rough storyboard was created. This was done to translate the design goal into a situation and possible interaction. (1) The product should detect the presence of the person in the room or on the couch. (2) The product should then invite the person to use the product. (3) Based on the input of the user, a timer for how long the user wished to relax should be set. (4) The product should then support the relaxation of the user. (5) When the time is over the product should stimulate the person to leave the couch and stop recovering.
Based upon doing field research and the previous phase it was found that a pillow would be the most fitting product to transform into a smart object that can improve people's time on the couch. On the image below, the different stages of creating the shape and a prototype of a pillow are shown. The pillow is shaped to allow it to be used and comfortable in a wide variety of different postures. This was done because during the first user test it was found that people naturally and regularly switched there sitting positions. The pillow aims to provide comfort is as many of the postures found in the user test.
Next to designing the shape of the pillow, the first part of its intelligence was also designed, its senses. The goal of these senses was for the pillow to be able to "see" how it's being used. To do so, the temperature, the orientation and the pressure were being measured. The temperature and orientation sensors were bought and the pressure sensors were made. They were placed inside the pillow and together they were able to collect data about its usage and sent this data to a server.
The goal of the thirds phase was to understand the perspective of the user and of the product. To get this understanding, that data-enabled prototype was used during a user test. This test consisted of three parts, usage of the pillow, interview about the usage and co-creation about the further development of the pillow. The data from this test was then processed into visuals to enable analysis. To do so, the machined data was first put into excel and get an initial image of what the data looked like.
The Excel graph, however, did not provide many insights. Therefore I looked for a better, more inspiring way to visualise the sensors data. I landed on creating digital twin that represented the pillow in real life. To create this digital representation blender was used. First, the model was created, afterwards, the data from the server was used as input for an animation.
During the fourth phase, the concept of the pillow was further designed. During this procces the visualisation from the previous phase was used continously. First the shape of the pillow was redesigned. The inner, ergonomic, shape was kept but the outer shape was changed to look more like a throw pillow.
Secondly, the pillow was given actuators to allow it interact with the world around it. The first actuator that was added was a conductive fabric. This fabric heats up as a current is applied to it. This allows the pillow to provide the user with extra warmth. Secondly air pockets are added to the pillow. This allows the pillow to encapsulate and hug the user. It also provides the pillow with way to communcate with the user. For instance by activating all air pockets for a short burst the pillow creates discomfort for the user letting the user know their time is up
With the addition of actuators, the interaction with the pillow was further developed. This was done by creating a storyboard. Each drawing in the storyboard consists of 3 parts, the top part shows the situation. In the bottom left part the pillow is displayed, blue shows pressure applied by the user, grey shows air pockets that are activated by the pillow. In the bottom right two graphs can be seen, the top shows the pressure applied by the user over time, the bottom the actuation of the air pockets over time by the pillow.

The sensor node in Wireless Sensor Network is with the characteristics of low power consumption, but the sensor node can't be rechargeable. Therefore, the consumed of power is limited. How to effectively control the power of the sensor node and extend the life time of the whole network become a very important issue. This paper sets forth "The Optimal Sleep Control For Wireless Sensor Networks ". When the sensor nodes are set randomly in the entire network and the sleeping probability is determined through the distance between the sensor node and the sink. This method will effectively reduce the frequency of the transmission of the sensor nodes more close to the sink and reach the loading balance of the whole network. However, the sleeping sensor nodes will process their sleeping schedule according to their own residual power and achieve the effectiveness of saving power.

Web Design that taps into the haromny and vision of your dreams.
Recursive Find Files in Dephi
By on in Coding
275 words, estimated reading time 2 minutes.
Simple and very useful Delphi or Pascal function to find files recursively in a given directory.
This function will recursively scan a folder and execute a function each time a file is found.
This function will be run each time a file is found.
Function LogFiles( Const path: String; Const SRec: TSearchRec ): Boolean;
Begin
 Listbox1.Items.Add( path+SRec.Name );
 Result := True;
End;
And this is the main function called with four parameters. FindRecursive('c:/path/to/files/', '*.ext', LogFiles, TRUE)
LogFiles is the name of the above function, and the last parameter decides whether to recurse or not.
procedure FindRecursive(const path: string; const mask: string; LogFunction: TLogFunct; Re_curse: Boolean);
var
 fullpath: string;

 function Recurse(var path: string; const mask: string; Re_curse: Boolean): Boolean;
 var
 SRec: TSearchRec;
 retval: Integer;
 oldlen: Integer;
 begin
 //Recurse := FALSE;
 Recurse := Re_Curse;
 oldlen := Length(path);
 retval := FindFirst(path + mask, faAnyFile, SRec);
 while retval = 0 do
 begin
 if (SRec.Attr and (faDirectory or faVolumeID)) = 0 then
 if not LogFunction(path, SRec) then
 begin
 Result := False;
 Break;
 end;
 retval := FindNext(SRec);
 end;
 FindClose(SRec);
 if not Result then Exit;
 retval := FindFirst(path + '*.*', faDirectory, SRec);
 while retval = 0 do
 begin
 if (SRec.Attr and faDirectory) <> 0 then
 if (SRec.Name <> '.') and (SRec.Name <> '..') then
 begin
 path := path + SRec.Name + '/';
 if not Recurse(path, mask, Re_curse) then
 begin
 Result := False;
 Break;
 end;
 Delete(path, oldlen + 1, 255);
 end;
 retval := FindNext(SRec);
 end;
 FindClose(SRec);
 end;
begin
 if path = '' then
 GetDir(0, fullpath)
 else
 fullpath := path;
 if fullpath[Length(fullpath)] <> '/' then
 fullpath := fullpath + '/';
 if mask = '' then
 Recurse(fullpath, '*.*', Re_curse)
 else
 Recurse(fullpath, mask, Re_curse);
end;

Low-head dams don't look particularly menacing. Thousands of these dams were built on American rivers and streams in the 1800s and early 1900s to power gristmills and small industries.
With a short drop of up to 5 feet, low-head dams can seem like a minor inconvenience – or even a thrill – for paddlers and swimmers. However, the churning waters at the base of these dams present a high level of danger.
Often referred to as "drowning machines," low-head dams produce dangerous recirculating currents, large hydraulic forces, low buoyancy and other hazardous conditions sufficient to trap and drown victims.
Since 1960, more than 350 fatalities have occurred at low-head dams in the United States, according to Dr. Bruce Tschantz, former professor emeritus at the University of Tennessee and low-head dam expert. Two-thirds of these fatalities occurred in the past 15 years, and most occurred on weekends between April and August.
Upon entering the churning water at the base of the dam, the victim is pounded by a never-ending wave of water that forces them to the bottom. If they can bob up to the surface, the recirculating current carries them back to the dam and the nightmare begins again.
"Most people underestimate or are ignorant of the forces and currents that surround these low-head dams, and they overestimate their abilities to overcome these forces," said Tschantz, who maintained the website _URL_ to help inform the public about dam safety and the dangers of low-head dams.
There are no reliable inventories of how many low-head dams exist in the U.S. today, but a study by the Association of State Dam Safety Officials estimates there may be as many as 5,000 low-head dams on small waterways across the country.
Know Before You Go
Public safety experts urge all swimmers, anglers, boaters, paddlers and tubers to check river maps and ask locals for locations of dangerous low-head dam structures before setting out on any waterway.
One of the best ways to look for low-head dams on a waterway is to look in Satellite Mode on Google Maps (see below). If you see a white line of water across a river, it is most likely a low head dam.
Be aware of all upstream and downstream public safety warning signs, takeout portages, and boat barrier buoys; and always wear appropriate personal flotation vests.

The recommendations offer in-depth information that can equip healthcare practitioners with the knowledge necessary to adapt medical best practices for teleconsultation
The Association of Physicians of India (API) has launched therapy-specific teleconsultation recommendations, in collaboration with Abbott. The robust set of recommendations outlines best practices on adopting teleconsultation across various therapeutic areas, currently catering specifically to cardiology, diabetes, gastroenterology and adult immunisation with plans to cover more specialities in the future.
The recommendations introduced by the API offer in-depth information that can equip healthcare practitioners with the knowledge necessary to adapt medical best practices for teleconsultation. The recommendations encompass patient history, diagnosis, testing, disease management and scheduled follow-ups, thereby enabling practitioners to be cognizant of key parameters for decision-making, guided by flow charts specific to each therapy area.
The recommendations detail technological requirements, software and other practical tips to facilitate consultations. Physicians can thus make optimal use of digital tools, which paves the way for a structured and seamless patient experience.
Furthermore, the recommendations instruct physicians on conditions to rule out various acute conditions, such as myocardial infarctions or arrhythmias, which cannot be managed virtually and may necessitate face-to-face examination or treatment with hospitalisation after an initial teleconsultation. The importance of safety, privacy, and other patient rights and safeguards by familiarising physicians with medicolegal implications, including therapy-specific drug types that can or cannot be prescribed during teleconsultation can be upheld.
Dr S Arul Rhaj, One of the Editor in Chief and Immediate Past President- Association of Physicians of India said, "Telemedicine consultations are now widely sought after, especially with the government's nod to adopt them for diagnosis and treatment. While general guidelines exist, there is a need for clear-cut and defined guidelines for specific therapy areas, which can vary significantly across symptomology, pathophysiology, diagnosis, testing, disease management and treatment steps and red flags. This necessitated therapy-specific teleconsultation recommendations to ensure structured, streamlined consultations and improved patient care."
Dr Balagopal Nair, Regional Medical Director, Abbott Pharmaceuticals Division, India said, "Teleconsultation offers the possibility of overcoming geographic restrictions by increasing access and ensuring extensive reach. It has the potential to enhance the efficiency of healthcare systems by offering virtual care and making healthcare more accessible. Abbott has collaborated with the Association of Physicians in India (API) to release the first India-specific teleconsultation guidelines, to provide a useful repository of evidence-based information to healthcare practitioners across different therapeutic areas to appropriately diagnose, treat and manage patient conditions virtually, thereby enabling them to live healthier, fuller lives."

The Michael Camille Essay Prize is a biennial essay contest co-sponsored by postmedieval, Palgrave Macmillan, and the BABEL Working Group.
Launched in 2012, the prize is awarded for the best short essay (4,000-6,000 words) on a variable theme that brings the medieval and the modern into productive critical relation. The competition is open to early career researchers: those currently in M.A./Ph.D. programs or within 5 years of having received the Ph.D. Essays in all disciplines are encouraged.
The prize is named after Michael Camille (_PHONE_), the brilliant art historian whose work on medieval art exemplified playfulness, a felicitous interdisciplinary reach, a restless imagination, and an avidness to bring the medieval and modern into vibrant, dialogic encounter. In addition, we wish to honor Camille for his attention to the fringes of medieval society, to the liminal, excluded, 'subjugated rabble,' and disenfranchised, and to the socially subversive powers of medieval artists who worked on and in the margins. The prize is also named after Camille because his work was often invested in exploring 'the prism of modernity through which the Middle Ages is constructed' and because, as his colleague at the University of Chicago Linda Seidel said shortly after his death, he had 'a mind like shooting stars.'
The prize is adjudicated by a panel of scholars selected from postmedieval's editorial board, and the winner is announced at the BABEL Working Group biennial conference. The prize winner receives: publication in postmedieval, 250 dollars, and one year's free print and online subscription to the journal. Runners-up receive one year's free print and online subscription to the journal and will be considered for publication in the journal.
2016 Michael Camille Essay Prize winner
2016 theme: Atmospheric Medievalisms/Medieval Atmospheres
Essays were requested that might take up eco-critical and/or climatological approaches to medieval culture and/or studies in medievalisms, or that might address affect and/or "public feelings" and cultural "moods" in medieval culture or in appropriations of medieval culture in later periods, or might even work through ideas of an "ambient Middle Ages" or an "ambient medievalism." Essays could have also addressed "climate" and "environment" and "weather" as metaphors for tracing particular intellectual histories of studies in medievalism, or they might have discussed the "spherical," "aerial," and/or transmigratory climates of globally-inflected medieval studies.

What the judges said:
This essay deftly blended visual evidence, object history, theories of materiality, and historical practice into an evocative discussion of an understudied group of objects. As did the best of Michael Camille's work, it illustrated how a sensitive understanding of contemporary theory can help us to perceive latent meanings in a work, and also how eloquent writing can make a scholarly argument more deeply felt."
Chris Adamson, PhD student in English (Emory University)
"The Compromised Chronotope of Christminster: Hardy and Hopkins's Incarnate Past,"
What the judges said:
Of Adamson's essay, one of the judges wrote, "a beautifully written essay uncovering interesting tropes these two astonishing minds share in their revision and invention of the medieval past."

Asa Simon Mittman, California State University, Chico
What the judges said:
This essay is a preliminary examination of the relationship between prose and poetry in the work of modern editors of medieval texts, work that typically separates out the two modes of writing, even where they coexist unitarily in the source materials. The principal vehicle for this examination is a unicum manuscript (Bodl. Mich. MS 50) of a twelfth-century Hebrew ethical will written by Judah ibn Tibbon, a Granada-born translator of Arabic philosophical and religious texts who spent most of his adult life in exile in the Provençal city of Lunel. The will is written in both prose and verse; the late medieval/early modern scribe's decision to consign the prosodic portions of the text to a margin running down the outer edge of the page is evocative of the unease that subsequent students and editors of this and other texts produced by the Islamicate culture of Spain would confront when editing those texts for modern readers. By responding to this manuscript's provocation of format, the essay stakes out the ground for future and continuing discussion of the marginal place of poetry with respect to the related prose in modern and contemporary scholarship.
2012 Michael Camille Essay Prize Winner
In 2012, the theme was 'Medievalism and the Monsters of Modernity,' and there was a First Place essay ('Lions and Latour Litanies in the Sketchbook of Villard de Honnecourt,' by Haylie Swenson) and two Runners-up ('Time Mechanics: The Modern Geoffrey Chaucer and the Medieval Jack Spicer,' by David Hadbawnik, and 'From Medieval Saint to Modern Bête Noire: The Case of the Vitæ Æthelwoldi,' by Alison Hudson). The judges for the contest were Anne Harris (DePauw University), Robert Mills (University College London), Michael Moore (University of Iowa), and Karl Steel (Brooklyn College, CUNY). In response to Haylie's essay, the judges said that it 'makes an important contribution to object-oriented philosophies, critical animal studies, and indeed the ethics of the artistic encounter. This essay brims with original ideas, shedding new light on Villard de Honnecourt's Sketchbook and presenting one of the most sensitive readings of Villard's lion to date The author strikes a wonderfully Camillesque balance between visual analysis, verbal dexterity, and critical insight. The essay breaks free of longstanding debates over whether Villard drew his lions from life by reading his humanoid lion as an encounter with the unnervingly direct gaze of an agentic other, a strange, predatory, and ultimately unrepresentable thing. Villard's lion can now be understood as an artistic, powerful object in its own right, representing the unfathomable, even dangerous depths of any artistic object or any object, leonine, human, or otherwise. Finally, the essay makes a timely contribution to debates in animal/posthuman studies, fields in which postmedieval takes a special interest.

Models of human search behavior
[Could not find the bibliography file(s)
Search is the process of making rational decisions under uncertainty. In [?] we developed a model of human behavior in a spatial search task. Notably, we found that some people achieved very high performance on such tasks, including significant numbers of people who achieved performance better than an otherwise "optimal" algorithm. Our model allowed us to show that this high performance is consistent with the humans having good priors, i.e., the high-performing people have good intuitions about the task. In [?], we considered the problem of learning these intuitions from data and showed that this could be achieved using our model. In [?], we have considered other, more sophisticated models of human choice behavior based on the concept of satisficing, where the decision maker cares only about achieving performance above a given threshold, rather than achieving maximum possible performance.

creating a more continuous color palette in r, ggplot2, lattice, or latticeExtra
As far as lattice is concerned, you can set up your colors palette with RColorBrewer (or even colorspace). Using the example provided by @Chase, but with positive value for z:
dat <- data.frame(x = rnorm(1000), y = rnorm(1000), z = sample(0:40, 1000, TRUE))
library(RColorBrewer)
# see, e.g.
# display.brewer.all(9, type="seq")
# display.brewer.pal(11, "RdBu")
my.col <- colorRampPalette(brewer.pal(11, "RdBu"))(diff(range(dat$z)))
xyplot(y ~ x, data=dat, col=my.col[dat$z], pch=19, alpha=.5)
Note that it is also necessary here to increase the range of available colors by interpolation. Also, with levelplot(), you might want to play with cut= and pretty=.
Is there a sensible way to do something like docstrings in R?
You can add any attributes you like to R objects, including function. So something like
describe <- function(obj) attr(obj, "help")
foo <- function(t=NULL) ifelse(!is.null(t), t^2, "Or maybe not")
attr(foo, "help") <- "Here is the help message"
produces more or less the desired output
> foo(2)
[1] 4
> foo()
[1] "Or maybe not"
> describe(foo)
[1] "Here is the help message"
How to add LibSVM class to WEKA classpath on a Mac
You can put libsvm.jar in a folder of your choice, e.g. ~/Library/Java, and then run weka from the command-line as follows:
$ java -Xmx512m -classpath /Users/chl/weka/weka.jar:/Library/Java/libsvm.jar weka.gui.GUIChooser
You can also update your CLASSPATH to reflect locations where *.jar files can be found. I have the following in my .profile:
export CLASSPATH="/Users/chl/weka/weka.jar:~/Library/Java/*"
(You will need to replace /Users/chl/weka to reflect the correct location of your weka.jar; usually, it is located at the top of the directory if you downloaded the source files, or under weka-3-7-3.app/Contents/Resources/Java/ if you use the bundled app.)
This way, the first command to start weka GUI simplifies to
$ java -classpath $CLASSPATH:weka.jar:libsvm.jar weka.gui.GUIChooser
Don't use java -jar since it will override the CLASSPATH, as discussed here.
I also have an alias in my .bash_aliases for wrapping all that stuff:
alias weka='java -Xmx512m -classpath $CLASSPATH:weka.jar'
in order to use weka from the command-line as, e.g.
$ weka weka.classifiers.trees.RandomTree -t iris.arff -i
Is there a Python module to open SPSS files?
Depending on what you want to do–process data using R-related commands from rpy2, or switch to Python–the [solution provided by @Spacedman] (_URL_ on a related thread might easily be adapted to suit your needs.
Otherwise, Pandas includes a convenient wrapper for rpy2. Here is an example of use with Peat and Barton's weights.sav data set:
>>> import pandas.rpy.common as com
>>> filename = "weights.sav"
>>> w = com.robj.r('foreign::read.spss("%s", to.data.frame=TRUE)' % filename)
>>> w = com.convert_robj(w)
>>> w.head()
 ID WEIGHT LENGTH HEADC GENDER EDUCATIO PARITY
1 L001 3.95 55.5 37.5 Female tertiary 3 or more siblings
2 L003 4.63 57.0 38.5 Female tertiary Singleton
3 L004 4.75 56.0 38.5 Male year12 2 siblings
4 L005 3.92 56.0 39.0 Male tertiary One sibling
5 L006 4.56 55.0 39.5 Male year10 2 siblings
Adding error bars on a bar graph in gnuplot
Assuming you want to draw side-by-side bar charts with associated error bars, I would use the following:
set xrange [-0.5:12.75]
set xtic rotate by -45
set boxwidth 0.25
plot 'file.dat' using ($0-.05):4:5:xtic(1) with boxerrorbars title col, \\
 '' using ($0+0.25):2:3 with boxerrorbars title col
The idea is just to offset one of the two measures on the x-axis.
Variables Overview with xtable in R
Another package to look at is reporttools. Here is an short piece of code to illustrate its usage on the tips dataset from reshape package. Both the summary statements produce latex code which can be copy pasted into a document, or used for weaving.
library(reporttools)
data(tips, package = 'reshape')
# summarize numeric variables
tableContinuous(tips[,sapply(tips, is.numeric)])
# summarize non-numeric variables
tableNominal(tips[,!sapply(tips, is.numeric)])
EDIT. If you really MUST use str, then here is one way to go about it
str_cars = capture.output(str(cars))
xtable(data.frame(str_cars))
OUTPUT FROM REPORTTOOLS:
Centering title in R viewport with multiple graphs ggplot2
I think you might be interested in the gridExtra package, which provides the grid.arrange() function that fulfills everything you wonder about.
With @Kevin's example, the command would be
grid.arrange(plots[[1]], plots[[2]], ncol=2,
 main="test main", sub="subtitle test")
How do I compute the number of occurrences of a particular value in a row in R
There're two ways to use the apply family functions. Either you do
apply(mat, 1, sum, na.rm=TRUE)
if you want to apply the function sum()to each row, passing additional parameters like na.rm=TRUE. Or you can do
apply(mat, 1, foo)
where foo() is a function of your own, defined externally, e.g.
foo <- function(x) sum(x==0, na.rm=TRUE)
Note that NA handling might also be dealt with a parameter of the function itself, with default value set to TRUE, in the above definition, as in
foo2 <- function(x, no.na=TRUE) sum(x==0, na.rm=no.na)
and you can call it as apply(mat, 1, foo2, no.na=F) although it doesn't really make sense with the sum() function (unless you want to check if there're NA values, but in this case it's better to use is.na() :-).
Finally, you can define your function directly inline as
apply(mat, 1, function(x) sum(x==0, na.rm=TRUE))
In your case, it gives me
> apply(mat, 1, function(x) sum(x==0, na.rm=TRUE))
 1 2 3 4 5 6
22 4 9 8 7 2
which is equivalent to apply(ex, 1, foo).
R: Print two tables with xtable ()
I would recommend saving the results as two separate tables in different files (see the file= option to print.xtable()), and then input them into your LaTeX document with any command you find appropriate for your layout ( tabular, subfloat, minipage, etc.). This is what I do in general, although I generally rely on LaTeX facilities in the Hmisc package. Should you want only to print them as a standalone PDF, use the standalone class for your document.
So, here is an example:
data(tli)
fm1 <- aov(tlimth ~ sex

The lane departure warning system is enabled and disabled through the lane departure switch. When enabled, the lane departure warning switch indicator will illuminate. The switch and indicator are connected to the frontview camera module. The frontview camera module supplies a reference voltage to the lane departure switch. When the switch is pressed, the signal circuit is grounded. When enabled, the frontview camera module will illuminate the indicator located in the switch when lane departure warning system is enabled.
When the system is operating and can detect the lane markings, the front view camera module will request via serial data communications that the instrument cluster illuminates the green lane departure ready-to-assist indicator. If the front view camera module detects that the vehicle unintentionally crosses a lane marking without the turn signal being used, the module will request the vehicle direction display to flash the amber lane departure warning indicator. Anr audible warning will also alert three times when the amber lane departure warning indicator in the vehicle direction display is flashing.

A Day in the Life
We received a suggestion to write a post about what a typical day looks like for Zack and me.So what does our typical day look like? Honestly, our schedule varies every day. Some days we find ourselves buried in language learning activities, others meeting friends and local partners in the city, and others doing practical office type work. But most days include a blend of a lot of different things.
So here is a glimpse at what a typical weekday might look like while we are not taking language classes (maybe I'll do another post once we're back in language school)…
6:25: Jenn wakes up, packs the boys' lunches, gets breakfast going
7:00: Zack and the boys get up, get dressed
7:20: breakfast, devotions, prayer
8:00: boys walk to the bus station
8:00: watch the news (great language practice!)
9:00: work out
9:30: emails, office work
10:30: clean up, language learning time
12:00: this can vary: lunch, time in the city, appointments, errands, work stuff
2:50: leave to pick up the boys from school
3:15: back home, snacks, homework
From here, it can go a lot of different directions. Sometimes we have to eat dinner at 4:00 or 4:30 because of football practice, appointments in the city, or house church. Sometimes we relax a little, eat dinner later, and then do something as a family (play cards, read a chapter from a book, play Wii, watch a TV show, etc). The boys typically go to bed at 8:00 (Daniel) and 9:00 (William).

In science and engineering, when we have a number of data points obtained by sampling and experimentation, it
is possible to construct a function that closely fits those data points. Interpolation can be regarded as a special
case of curve fitting, in which the function must go exactly through every single data point.
Estimating the size of a mineral field available for extraction using exploration results, calculating the estimated
amount of mineral contained within the field are the domain of reserve mineral estimation. Numerical interpolation
algorithms provide a way to maximize the knowledge of known ore occurrences and the method of their formation and determine potential
areas where the particular class of ore deposit being sought may exist.
There are various techniques for the solution of interpolation problems and here at Keystone Mining Post will show methods using Cubic Spline and Newton Divided Difference
interpolations. These methods are based on Taylor series expansion of a function of f(x) about a specific
value of x0.

Vitesse Cryo 7N CGOCC-A Copper Earphone Cable utilizes the specially made 7N purity CGOCC-A wires with gauge of 23AWG and an amazing 144 strands of fine copper conductor. It is 8 wire braided to minimize cross interference and insulated with ultra flexible silicone sleeve.
VitesseSeries Earphone Cable utilizes a special type of metal conductors, which are Crystallized Grown by Ohno Continuous Casting processed and then Critical Temperature Annealed. The wiring underwent cryogenic treatment to further reduce residual stress, resistance and enhance music signal transmission.
The special processed metal conductor has a single crystal structure. The process re-heats the extrusion in the crystal structure as the molten metal is forced out of the mould and very slowly and gradually draws the grain or crystal down the conductor's length, creating a 'single crystal structure'. The improvement is significant, with almost no crystal boundaries, the audio signal is no longer impeded down the wire and resulting in much less signal distortion and decay. More information and detail is delivered as much as original to the receiving equipment.
The percentage reduction of area on our cable is increased by 414% and elongation characteristic is improved by 239%. Resistivity on our cable is 31.7% less than regular process wire, gas impurity is reduced to 5ppm(O2) and 0.25ppm(H2), which significantly reduces signal attenuation and helps a faithful transmission of signal.
Comparison of cross-section of our CGOCC-A pure copper wire and normal OFC wire
Built-to-order. Current lead-time is 2~3 weeks (as of 12th Jul 2018)
Note: Due to cable thickness, this cable will not come with a memory wire by default. Memory wire could be added upon customer's request via email.

sec_rgy_pgo_get_by_eff_unix_num-Returns the name and data for a PGO item identified by its effective UNIX number
_TAG_ void sec_rgy_pgo_get_by_eff_unix_num( sec_rgy_handle_t context, sec_rgy_domain_t name_domain, sec_rgy_name_t scope, signed32 unix_id, boolean32 allow_aliases, sec_rgy_cursor_t *item_cursor, sec_rgy_pgo_item_t *pgo_item, sec_rgy_name_t name, boolean32 *overridden, error_status_t *status);
An opaque handle bound to a registry server. Use sec_rgy_site_open() to acquire a bound handle.
This variable identifies the type of the principal, group, or organization (PGO) item identified by the given name. The valid values are as follows:
The UNIX number identifies a principal.
The UNIX number identifies a group.
Note that this function does not support the value sec_rgy_domain_org.
A character string (type sec_rgy_name_t) containing the scope of the desired search. The registry database is designed to accommodate a tree-structured name hierarchy. The scope of a search is the name of the branch under which the search takes place. For example, all names in a registry might start with /alpha, and be divided further into /beta or /gamma. To search only the part of the database under /beta, the scope of the search would be /alpha/beta, and any resulting PGO items would have names beginning with this string. Note that these naming conventions need not have anything to do with group or organization PGO item membership lists.
The UNIX number of the desired registry PGO item.
A boolean32 value indicating whether to search for a primary PGO item, or whether the search can be satisfied with an alias. If TRUE, the routine returns the next entry found for the PGO item. If FALSE, the routine returns only the primary entry.
An opaque pointer indicating a specific PGO item entry in the registry database. The sec_rgy_pgo_get_next() routine returns the PGO item indicated by item_cursor, and advances the cursor to point to the next item in the database. When the end of the list of entries is reached, the routine returns the value sec_rgy_no_more_entries in the status parameter. Use sec_rgy_cursor_reset() to reset the cursor.
A pointer to a sec_rgy_pgo_item_t structure to receive the data for the returned PGO item. The data in this structure includes the PGO item's name, UUID, UNIX number (if any), and administrative data, such as whether the item, if a principal, may have a concurrent group set. The data is as it appears in the registry, for that UNIX number, even though some of the fields may have been overridden locally.
A pointer to a sec_rgy_name_t character string containing the returned name for the PGO item. This string might contain a local override value if the supplied UNIX number is found in the passwd_override or group_override file.
A pointer to a boolean32 value indicating whether or not the supplied UNIX number has an entry in the local override file (passwd_override or group_override).
A pointer to the completion status. On successful completion, the routine returns error_status_ok. Otherwise, it returns an error.
The sec_rgy_pgo_get_by_eff_unix_num() routine returns the name and data for a PGO item. The desired item is identified by its type (domain) and its UNIX number.
This routine is similar to the sec_rgy_pgo_get_by_unix_num() routine. The difference between the routines is that sec_rgy_pgo_get_by_eff_unix_num() first searches the local override files for the respective name_domain for a match with the supplied UNIX number. If an override match is found, and an account or group name is found in that entry, then that name is used to obtain PGO data from the registry and the value of the overridden parameter is set to TRUE.
The item_cursor parameter specifies the starting point for the search through the registry database. It provides an automatic place holder in the database. The routine automatically updates this variable to point to the next PGO item after the returned item. The returned cursor location can be supplied on a subsequent database access call that also uses a PGO item cursor.
Permissions RequiredThe sec_rgy_pgo_get_by_eff_unix_num() routine requires the r (read) permission on the PGO item to be viewed.
There are several different types of cursors used in the registry Application Programmer Interface (API). Some cursors point to PGO items, others point to members in a membership list, and others point to account data. Do not use a cursor for one sort of object in a call expecting another sort of object. For example, you cannot use the same cursor on a call to sec_rgy_acct_get_projlist() and sec_rgy_pgo_get_next(). The behavior in this case is undefined.
Furthermore, cursors are specific to a server. A cursor pointing into one replica of the registry database is useless as a pointer into another replica.
Use sec_rgy_cursor_reset() to renew a cursor for use with another call or for another server.
The idl file from which dce/pgo.h was derived.
The local group override file.
The local password override file.
The call was successful.
The cursor is at the end of the list of PGO items.
The specified PGO item was not found.
The DCE Registry Server is unavailable.

The information on Shangri-la climate could be helpful for preparing a Yunnan travel. Diqing enjoys a typical plateau climate, and it may snow in August. The city is surrounded by the Hengduan mountain range, and the terrain varies greatly, so the temperature difference throughout the day is large. Sometimes, travelers can even experience all four seasons within a day. July to September is the rainy season. Tourists usually choose to visit Diqing in summer or autumn, when the temperature is moderate.
Features of Diqing Climate
The climate in Diqing Tibetan autonomous prefecture is temperatecold temperate climate. The annual average temperature is 4.7- 16.5℃, the annual extreme maximum temperature is 25.1℃, and the minimum temperature is -27.4℃. With obvious three-dimensional climate, there is a saying of "A mountain has four seasons" in Diqing.
Diqing Weather and Climate by Month
What to Pack for a Diqing Trip
- Spring(March-May): In Spring, the temperature in Diqing slowly rises, from cold to mild, but the overall temperature is relatively low. Tourists to Diqing should wear sweaters and coats, and dress in layers to adapt to the large temperature difference.
- Summer(June-August): June to August is the rainy season, and Diqing has the highest temperature at this time. In summer, tourists are supposed to bring light clothes for the daytime and warm clothes for the night. Besides, remeber to bring an umbrella, hat, sunglasses and sunscreen.
- Autumn(September-November): As autumn goes on, the weather gets colder and drier. Long-sleeved clothes and warm coat are needed at this time.
- Winter(December-February): It's very cold in winter. If it snows, the temperature may drop below 0°C in the morning and evening. Therefore, it's important to keep warm in winter. Thermal underwear, sweaters, thick coat/down jacket, gloves, scarf, and warm hat are necesary when travelling in Diqing.
Best Time to Visit Diqing
Diqing is about 3,300 meters above sea level. Like all plateau, the temperature difference in Diqing between morning and evening is large and the wind is strong. It is recommended to visit Diqing from May to July and September to October. There are many festivals and activities at this time, the weather is also ideal for travel. Flowers are in full bloom, and there are green grass and trees everywhere, with the most beautiful scenery.
- MayJune: The end of spring and early summer is the most beautiful time of Shangri-La because of the full bloom of azalea (but the bloom time may delay along with the change of weather). In the middle of June, there are wild flowers in blossom everywhere, such as irises.
- JulyAugust: Flowers are blooming and colorful, but this is the rainy season of the year.
- SeptemberOctober: September to October is autumn. Wolf poison flowers are in bloom, and Diqing is rich in color. At this time, the scenery is beautiful and suitable for photography.
- November: It begins to snow in Diqing. Diqing is in single color, and the weather is colder.
- December: At this time, Diqing owns the most beautiful snow scene, and you can see the black-necked crane as well.
Avoid Public Holidays in China
Try to avoid the public holidays of China, such as May Day Holiday(May 1-3), National Day Holiday(October 1-7), Spring Festival Holiday(Usually early February), Qingming Festival(in early April), Dragon Boat Festival(in June). Spring festival and national day festival are the most crowded time to travel. During these holidays, there will be a large crowd in the tourist attractions and you can't really enjoy yourself. Flights and hotels are usually more expensive than usual.
High Altitude Sickness
Diqing is more than 3,300 meters above sea level. Some people may have a little altitude sickness, but it's usually not serious. If you want to go to the mountain pass, which is more than 4000 meters above sea level, it is better to take more preventive measures. Before going to the plateau, you can take some medicines to alleviate the altitude reaction, such as rhodiola rosea, American ginseng tablet and so on.


Paso Robles, Santa Maria libraries keep their communities connected to academic, online, and local resources during the pandemic
By and
Two libraries in two distinct areas on the Central Coast have stepped up to carry on being a direct resource for all ages during a time when most facilities have had to limit or halt their services during this pandemic.
The doors of the Paso Robles City Library were temporarily closed for several months, but it never stopped providing services to the community, especially online access to digital material and ensuring students had library cards, according to librarian Angelica Fortin.
LIBRARY CONNECTIONS The Paso Robles and Santa Maria City Libraries have only heightened their resourceful natures by adapting to the pandemic and offering virtual services to their respected communities. - PHOTO COURTESY OF BRUCE COOK

Since March, the library has had more than 30,000 visitors; 135,0000 items have circulated, and of that total 43,000 were via virtual use; and (when the library was opened) its two public computers were used 10,400 times for 20 minutes at a time. It's been able to provide 370 virtual programs with a total of more than 6,700 attendees. The city library has also given away more than 3,000 grab-and-go craft kits for children and adults.
One of the immediate actions the library took during the first stay-at-home order in March was to offer reference services via telephone. Patrons could access e-books, e-magazines, and homework resources virtually by using their library cards.
"We worked really hard to try and get library cards to all of the [ninth, 10th, and 11th] graders at the Paso Robles Unified School District," Fortin said.
The partnership was made possible by Melissa Bailey, the Paso City children's librarian; school district librarian Stephanie Lowe; and educational technology TOSA Ronalee Andersen, who collaborated on a memorandum of understanding to safely and efficiently provide the students with a card, said Jennifer Gaviola, deputy superintendent of Paso Unified.
Even before the pandemic, this partnership had been in the works. The team, she said, determined how the district could securely provide the city library with student district ID numbers, which would then be students' city library number.
Bailey and the city library staff printed library cards for all students who did not already have one. They placed the students' new library cards as well as flyers detailing how to access digital resources in envelopes with the students' names.
Gaviola said the plan was to distribute the cards during the students' tutorial class, but due to the pandemic it didn't happen.
"In August when students came to pick up textbooks and Chromebooks, Paso Robles High School library staff handed out envelopes to students and explained that they now had access to books, audiobooks, and even movies through the public library," she said. "The city library made the processes extremely easy for the school district, and we are thrilled that so many more students now have access to more resources to support their education and recreational reading."
The program made more than 1,800 library cards available to students.
Another successful program the library facilitated was access to internet hotspots.
"There are people in our community that still don't have access to the internet at home, and it's for a variety of reasons. At the end of April we extended our Wi-Fi network not only here at the library, but at our study center over on [36th and Oak Streets] on the north end of town," Fortin said.
Since March the city library had a total 4,475 connections to its Wi-Fi network, an average of about 500 connections a month.
Library volunteer Tammy Bourne, who's lent her time to the facility for six years, pulls book holds for the curbside and pickup service. She said it's been amazing to see the library staff work so hard to evolve and respond to new safety requirements in an effort to serve the Paso Robles community without missing a step.
"The saddest thing about this new environment is not seeing people really enjoy the library. But I know the public is using the library because I get the list of books that people have put on hold and they want us to pull for them. So I can tell you right there, the public is definitely still using the library for books," Bourne said.
In Northern Santa Barbary County, the city of Santa Maria Main Library's aisles were also barren of visitors, and its physical closure threatened its funding.
When cuts to the library were initially proposed, the community quickly sprung into action to oppose such a measure, and City Council members found a way to move some money around and make it work.
"COVID-19 had really highlighted the inequities that exist, especially with education," City Councilmember Gloria Soto told New Times. "Library services, whether that be on a virtual platform or through their bookmobile or curbside pickup, being able to keep our community members and our young people engaged, have never been more important."
Prior to the pandemic, "our public here in Santa Maria did enjoy using our physical space for a variety of reasons," said Santa Maria Librarian Dawn Jackson. "However, under our current restrictions... people have come to realize that libraries can adapt, and can do so much more than what patrons, or perhaps even librarians, thought that we could do."
For the Santa Maria Main Library, this looked like shifting programming to "a combination of virtual and take-home format."
The library also brings books, Wi-Fi, and laptops for checkout directly to residents through its bookmobile, which was unveiled earlier this year.
"That is going to eight locations around the city with regular stops," Jackson said. "They have a grab-and-go service, and they've been able to reach patrons that haven't been able, even prior to the pandemic, to visit the library."
Ana Libbon, administrator of programs and services for Boys & Girls Clubs of Mid Central Coast, told New Times that the library's bookmobile has made a big difference for the kids they serve.
"Every Wednesday from 3:30 to about 5:30, they park in our parking lot and kids are allowed to go through their bookmobile and check out books," Libbon said of the organization's Santa Maria location. "They help them all obtain library cards and answer their questions.... They've been absolutely amazing."
The success is evident in the numbers: Jackson said the library has had 1,278 views of its programs on YouTube since March, and circulation went up 20 percent over the past two months with its grab-and-go services.
The perception of libraries is changing, Paso Robles' librarian Fortin said, noting that in the past people viewed the library as "shushing environments."
"We do have a lot of rules, I get that, but a lot of that is just organization and making sure that we have the resources people need; that they come back to that somebody else can use them," she said. "It really comes from wanting to provide access." Δ

Definitions and Methods for Worst Case Materials in Formability Simulations 2012-01-0017
Two types of approaches for material definitions and methods for worst case scenarios are explored. The first is from the material specification supplied by the OEM or the alloy producer for the material, which has basic material properties and no specific FLC. The potential exists that any material within the specification can be delivered to the stamping plants. The second is if the material is to be supplied within a narrowed band of material specification with a known FLC. For both cases, there is considerable pressure from product design to use the most formable material possible. However, if a material is delivered outside the FEA testing limits, the results can be catastrophic. A specification is proposed to take advantage of the formability capability to enhance product performance while minimizing stamping plant risk.


Monitoring of interactions between aptamers and human IgE by Surface Plasmon Resonance imaging
Monitoring of interactions between aptamers and human IgE by Surface Plasmon Resonance imaging
Aptamers are in vitro-generated, short, single-stranded nucleic acids that selectively bind to target compounds such as small molecules or proteins1, 2. Their main advantage over monoclonal antibodies is their resistance to denaturation and degradation. Being very robust and easy to synthesize, they are becoming widely used for the development of aptamer-based biosensors in the diagnostics field3.
This application note shows that the HORIBA Scientific SPRi platform is suitable for the analysis of aptamer-based molecular interactions. For this purpose, the interaction between human IgE protein, an antibody involved in allergic reactions, and a human IgE specific aptamer4 is presented as proof-of-concept.

Thermal Load Reduction of Truck Tractor Sleeper Cabins 2008-01-2618
Several configurations of truck tractor sleeper cabs were tested and modeled to investigate the potential to reduce heating and cooling loads. Two trucks were tested outdoors and a third was used as a control. Data from the testing were used to validate a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model and this model was used to predict reductions in cooling loads during daytime rest periods. The test configurations included the application of standard-equipped sleeper privacy curtain and window shades, an optional insulated or arctic sleeper curtain, and insulated window coverings. The standard curtain reduced sleeper area heating load by 21% in one test truck, while the arctic curtain decreased it by 26%. Insulated window coverings reduced the heating load by 16% in the other test truck and lowered daytime solar temperature gain by 8°C. The lowered temperature resulted in a predicted 34% reduction in cooling load from the model. Modeling also predicted doubling cab insulation could reduce cooling load by 35% and up to 54% with the sleeper curtain closed. Infrared images of the truck cabs identified other potential areas to reduce heat loss that included areas around window and door seals, at body and structural seams, and areas where insulation may be lacking around air circulation ducts.

Ivory Coast loses its crown jewelBreaking News
Museum authorities in Ivory Coast have contacted Interpol after thieves stole historic gold jewellery, masks and statues worth an estimated $6m (£3.7m).
The thefts from the country's main museum took place during the recent battle for Abidjan between forces loyal to current President Alassane Ouattara and the former leader Laurent Gbagbo.
Prior to colonisation in 1893, Ivory Coast was home to several flourishing kingdoms, including the Abron of Gyaaman, the Muslim Kong Empire, and a Baoule state and the Anyi kingdoms of Indenie and Sanwi.
Among the stolen artefacts were 35 gold pendants dating from the 18th Century, 12 traditional necklaces from the 17th Century, six miniature gold boxes from the 18th Century, a 19th Century royal sabre and an Akan king head dress, which could come from the Baoule or Anyi kingdoms....

A 16 6.24kW solar PV panels array, air source heat pump and battery storage full renewable installation in Porthleven.
Following an initial consultation, GreenGenUK was tasked to design another sustainable energy solution, our recent collaboration with the homeowner integrated a comprehensive solar, air source heat pump and battery storage system. This case study delves into the seamless integration of these renewable technologies, showcasing not only the environmental benefits but also the economic advantages.
The installation included:
16 x 390w JA Solar black framed panels
1 x 3.6kW GivEnergy hybrid inverter
1 x 9.5Wh GivEnergy solar battery
Schletter concrete tile mounting system
1 x 210l Horizontal Unvented DHW Cylinder
After discussion, the 16 solar panel array was strategically positioned on the east-to-west facing roof to harness maximum sunlight throughout the day, converting it into clean electricity to power the residence. Complementing this, the air source heat pump efficiently taps into the ambient heat from the air, providing both heating and hot water needs. To optimise energy utilisation a state-of-the-art hybrid battery storage system has been installed, allowing excess energy generated during peak sunlight hours to be stored for later use. This system design not only ensures a reliable and renewable energy supply but also contributes to a reduced carbon footprint, a showcase to environmentally conscious living.
The Givenergy hybrid battery storage unit uses the same inverter as the solar panel array, being able to use the same battery not only optimises the current converted energy but also allows you to add to the storage system over time making it a future-proof option. With fewer components on installation, this hybrid battery is cost-effective and space-saving.
In this inclusive installation, we also have the Mitsubishi Air Source Heat Pump, this amazing technology increases your comfort of living, lowers your carbon footprint, reduces your heating bills and this homeowner is already experiencing these benefits with her most recent energy statement!
Interested in sustainable energy options?
This case study serves as a testament to the benefits of investing in renewable energy, paving the way for a greener and more sustainable future. With the Boiler Upgrade Scheme also available, making the shift towards sustainable energy alternatives has never been easier.

If parents choose to hire an in-home tutor for their children, then the in-home tutor should incorporate those methods used in academic coaching and mentoring. Instead of directing the child to the right answers, the in-home tutor teaches your child how to look for answers. For example, the in-home tutor teaches your child how to use a library or the Internet for research.
In addition to hiring an in-home tutor, the parents themselves should learn to apply mentoring and academic coaching to their children. These techniques make use of emotional support as motivation for the child to achieve his or her goals. Emotional support comes in many forms, such as understanding, patience, soft encouragement, and positive reinforcement.
An in-home tutor can act either as a parent or as an older sibling to build an emotional bond with the child, but this kind of relationship is often discouraged because it may become a liability in the future for both the in-home tutor and the child. The participation of the parents, therefore, is crucial in building a child's confidence, interest in learning and motivation for excellence in every endeavor.

time Field Type
CAUTION: You are browsing the documentation for Symfony 2.5 which is not maintained anymore. Consider upgrading your projects to Symfony 3.2.
time Field Type
A field to capture time input.
This can be rendered as a text field, a series of text fields (e.g. hour, minute, second) or a series of select fields. The underlying data can be stored as a DateTime object, a string, a timestamp or an array.
Underlying Data Type can be DateTime, string, timestamp, or array (see the input option)
Rendered as can be various tags (see below)
Options
Overridden Options
Inherited Options
Parent type form
Class TimeType
Basic Usage
This field type is highly configurable, but easy to use. The most important options are input and widget.
Suppose that you have a startTime field whose underlying time data is a DateTime object. The following configures the time type for that field as two different choice fields:
1
2
3
4
$builder->add('startTime', 'time', array(
 'input' => 'datetime',
 'widget' => 'choice',
));
The input option must be changed to match the type of the underlying date data. For example, if the startTime field's data were a unix timestamp, you'd need to set input to timestamp:
1
2
3
4
$builder->add('startTime', 'time', array(
 'input' => 'timestamp',
 'widget' => 'choice',
));
The field also supports an array and string as valid input option values.
Field Options
empty_value
2.3Since Symfony 2.3, empty values are also supported if the expanded option is set to true.
type: string or Boolean
This option determines whether or not a special "empty" option (e.g. "Choose an option") will appear at the top of a select widget. This option only applies if the multiple option is set to false.
 - Add an empty value with "Choose an option" as the text:
 1
 2
 3
 $builder->add('states', 'choice', array(
 'empty_value' => 'Choose an option',
 ));

 - Guarantee that no "empty" value option is displayed:
 1
 2
 3
 $builder->add('states', 'choice', array(
 'empty_value' => false,
 ));

If you leave the empty_value option unset, then a blank (with no text) option will automatically be added if and only if the required option is false:
1
2
3
4
// a blank (with no text) option will be added
$builder->add('states', 'choice', array(
 'required' => false,
));
hours
type: array default: 0 to 23
List of hours available to the hours field type. This option is only relevant when the widget option is set to choice.
input
type: string default: datetime
The format of the input data - i.e. the format that the date is stored on your underlying object. Valid values are:
 - string (e.g. 12:17:26)
 - datetime (a DateTime object)
 - array (e.g. array('hour' => 12, 'minute' => 17, 'second' => 26))
 - timestamp (e.g. _PHONE_)
The value that comes back from the form will also be normalized back into this format.
minutes
type: array default: 0 to 59
List of minutes available to the minutes field type. This option is only relevant when the widget option is set to choice.
model_timezone
type: string default: system default timezone
Timezone that the input data is stored in. This must be one of the PHP supported timezones.
seconds
type: array default: 0 to 59
List of seconds available to the seconds field type. This option is only relevant when the widget option is set to choice.
view_timezone
type: string default: system default timezone
Timezone for how the data should be shown to the user (and therefore also the data that the user submits). This must be one of the PHP supported timezones.
widget
type: string default: choice
The basic way in which this field should be rendered. Can be one of the following:
 - choice: renders one, two (default) or three select inputs (hour, minute, second), depending on the with_minutes and with_seconds options.
 - text: renders one, two (default) or three text inputs (hour, minute, second), depending on the with_minutes and with_seconds options.
 - single_text: renders a single input of type time. User's input will be validated against the form hh:mm (or hh:mm:ss if using seconds).
Caution
Combining the widget type single_text and the with_minutes option set to false can cause unexpected behavior in the client as the input type time might not support selecting an hour only.
with_minutes
2.2The with_minutes option was introduced in Symfony 2.2.
type: Boolean default: true
Whether or not to include minutes in the input. This will result in an additional input to capture minutes.
with_seconds
type: Boolean default: false
Whether or not to include seconds in the input. This will result in an additional input to capture seconds.
Overridden Options
by_reference
default: false
The DateTime classes are treated as immutable objects.
error_bubbling
default: false
Inherited Options
These options inherit from the form type:
data
type: mixed default: Defaults to field of the underlying object (if there is one)
When you create a form, each field initially displays the value of the corresponding property of the form's domain object (if an object is bound to the form). If you want to override the initial value for the form or just an individual field, you can set it in the data option:
1
2
3
$builder->add('token', 'hidden', array(
 'data' => 'abcdef',
));
Note
The default values for form fields are taken directly from the underlying data structure (e.g. an entity or an array). The data option overrides this default value.
disabled
type: boolean default: false
If you don't want a user to modify the value of a field, you can set the disabled option to true. Any submitted value will be ignored.
error_mapping
type: array default: empty
This option allows you to modify the target of a validation error.
Imagine you have a custom method named matchingCityAndZipCode that validates whether the city and zip code match. Unfortunately, there is no "matchingCityAndZipCode" field in your form, so all that Symfony can do is display the error on top of the form.
With customized error mapping, you can do better: map the error to the city field so that it displays above it:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
public function setDefaultOptions(OptionsResolverInterface $resolver)
{
 $resolver->setDefaults(array(
 'error_mapping' => array(
 'matchingCityAndZipCode' => 'city',
 ),
 ));
}
Here are the rules for the left and the right side of the mapping:
 - The left side contains property paths;
 - If the violation is generated on a property or method of a class, its path is simply propertyName;
 - If the violation is generated on an entry of an array or ArrayAccess object, the property path is [indexName];
 - You can construct nested property paths by concatenating them, separating properties by dots. For example: addresses[work].matchingCityAndZipCode;
 - The left side of the error mapping also accepts a dot ., which refers to the field itself. That means that any error added to the field is added to the given nested field instead;
 - The right side contains simply the names of fields in the form.
inherit_data
2.3The inherit_data option was introduced in Symfony 2.3. Before, it was known as virtual.
type: boolean default: false
This option determines if the form will inherit data from its parent form. This can be useful if you have a set of fields that are duplicated across multiple forms. See How to Reduce Code Duplication with "inherit_data".
invalid_message
type: string default: This value is not valid
This is the validation error message that's used if the data entered into this field doesn't make sense (i.e. fails validation).
This might happen, for example, if the user enters a nonsense string into a time field that cannot be converted into a real time or if the user enters a string (e.g. apple) into a number field.
Normal (business logic) validation (such as when setting a minimum length for a field) should be set using validation messages with your validation rules (reference).
invalid_message_parameters
type: array default: array()
When setting the invalid_message option, you may need to include some variables in the string. This can be done by adding placeholders to that option and including the variables in

Here is Hector Tirado's demonstrative workshop on Proprioceptivity (perceive sound through skin). He's a deaf professional musician ascribed to the Puerto Rico Symphony Orchestra since 1990. He learned to perceive the sound and pitch of the double bass and bow by vibration and developed a technique to play through the sense of touch.
The workshop will build awareness on how disabled people can over-come their conditions, children or youngsters can reach higher stages, teachers can address new teaching methods (for deaf people); deaf people can enjoy music. I'm an inspiration and role model for many: disabled and bass players.

object. The default (when no nisplusLDAPentryTtl is specified) is 1 hour. The template mapping file /var/nis/NIS+LDAPmapping.template changes this to 12 hours for objects other than table entries. However, there is no auto-recognition of non-entry objects, so if you add mapping for a non-entry object, the TTL will default to 1 hour.
Note - There are no TTLs for nonexistent objects. Hence, no matter which TTLs are in effect for LDAP-mapped entries in an NIS+ table, a request for an entry that does not exist in NIS+ will query LDAP for that entry.
nisplusLDAPobjectDN Attribute
For each mapped NIS+ object, nisplusLDAPobjectDN establishes the location in the LDAP DIT where the object data resides. It also allows specification of the action to take when an LDAP entry is deleted. Each nisplusLDAPobjectDN value has three parts. The first specifies where LDAP data is read from, the second to where it is written, and the third what should happen when LDAP data is deleted. Refer to the following example.
nisplusLDAPobjectDN rpc_table:\
The above example shows that the rpc.org_dir table object should be read from the DN cn=rpc,ou=nisPlus, (since the value ends in a comma, the value of the defaultSearchBase attribute is appended), with scope base, and that entries with a value of nisplusObjectContainer for the ObjectClass attribute are selected.
The table object is written to the same place. The delete specification is missing, which implies the default action, which is as follows. If the NIS+ table object is deleted, the entire LDAP entry should also be deleted.
If data should be read from, but not written to LDAP, omit the write portion (and the colon separating it from the read part).
nisplusLDAPobjectDN rpc_table:\
Note that the nisplusObjectContainer object class is not part of RFC 2307. In order to use it, you must configure your LDAP server as detailed in Mapping NIS+ Objects Other Than Table Entries.
For the rpc.org_dir table entries, you could use the following example.
nisplusLDAPobjectDN rpc:ou=Rpc,?one?objectClass=oncRpc:\
The above shows that the table entries are read from and written to the base ou=Rpc. Again, the trailing comma appends the defaultSearchBase value. Select entries that have an objectClass attribute value of oncRpc. When creating an entry in the ou=Rpc container in LDAP, you also must specify top as an objectClass value.
As an example showing a non-default delete specification, consider the following.
nisplusLDAPobjectDN user_attr:\
The user_attr.org_dir data resides in the ou=People LDAP container, which it shares with account information from other sources, such as the passwd.org_dir NIS+ table.
Select entries in that container that have the solarisAttrKeyValue attribute, since only those contain user_attr.org_dir data. The dbid=user_attr_del portion of the nisplusLDAPobjectDN shows that when an entry in the user_attr.org_dir NIS+ table entry is deleted, deletion of the corresponding LDAP entry (if any) should follow the rules in the rule set identified by the user_attr_del database ID. See nisplusLDAPcolumnFromAttribute Attribute for more information.
nisplusLDAPattributeFromColumn Attribute
nisplusLDAPattributeFromColumn specifies the rules used to map NIS+ data to LDAP. Mapping rules for the other direction is controlled by nisplusLDAPcolumnFromAttribute.
nisplusLDAPcolumnFromAttribute Attribute
nisplusLDAPcolumnFromAttribute specifies the rules used to map LDAP data to NIS+.
The full entry mapping syntax can be found on NIS+LDAPmapping(4). However, a few examples should make things clearer.
The NIS+ rpc.org_dir table contains four columns called cname, name, numbe, and comment. Therefore, the entries for the NIS+ RPC program number (100300) with the canonical name nisd and the aliases rpc.nisd and nisplusd could be represented by the following NIS+ entries in rpc.org_dir.
nisd nisd 100300 NIS+ server
nisd rpc.nisd 100300 NIS+ server
nisd nisplusd 100300 NIS+ server
Assuming the defaultSearchBase value is dc=some,dc=domain, the corresponding LDAP entry, as listed by ldapsearch(1), would be the following.
dn: cn=nisd,ou=Ppc,dc=some,dc=domain
cn: nisd
cn: rpc.nsid
cn: nisplusd
oncRpcNumber: 100300
description: NIS+ server
objectClass: oncRpc
This makes for a simple one-to-one mapping between NIS+ and LDAP data, and the corresponding mapping attribute value going from NIS+ to LDAP is the following.
nisplusLDAPattributeFromColumn \
rpc: dn=("cn=%s,", name), \
 cn=cname, \
 cn=name, \
 oncRpcNumber=number, \
This constructs the DN for the entry to be cn=%s, with the value of the cname column substituted for %s.
Since the value ends in a comma, the read base value from the nisplusObjectDN is appended, and you have the following.
The oncRpcNumber and description attribute values are just simple assignments of the corresponding NIS+ column values. The rpc.nisd will collect the multiple NIS+ entries into one LDAP entry, with multiple cn values to represent the different name column values.
Similarly, the mapping from LDAP to NIS+ would be as follows.
nisplusLDAPcolumnFromAttribute \
 rpc: cname=cn, \
 (name)=(cn), \
 number=oncRpcNumber, \
The above assigns the oncRpcNumber and description values to the corresponding NIS+ columns. The multi-valued cn (denoted by (cn) is mapped to multiple name column values (denoted by (name)). Since the name column cannot be multi-valued, the rpc.nisd creates one NIS+ entry for each cn value.
Finally, the nisplusLDAPattributeFromColumn value is an example of rule sets used for deletion.
nisplusLDAPattributeFromColumn \
user_attr_del: dn=("uid=%s,", name), \
 SolarisUserQualifier=, \
 SolarisAttrReserved1=, \
 SolarisAttrReserved2=, \
Again, the user_attr.org_dir data shares the ou=People container with other account information (from the passwd.org_dir and other tables). If an entry in the user_attr.org_dir table is deleted, you probably do not want to delete the entire ou=People entry. Instead, the delete entry above says that when a user_attr.org_dir entry is deleted, the SolarisUserQualifier, SolarisAttrReserved1, SolarisAttrReserved2, and SolarisAttrKeyValue attributes (if any) are deleted from the ou=People entry specified by the following rule.
The rest of the LDAP entry is left unchanged.
NIS+ to LDAP Migration Scenarios
Likely scenarios for a migration from NIS+ to LDAP include the following.
How to Convert All NIS+ Data to LDAP in One Operation
How to Convert All LDAP Data to NIS+ in One Operation
Merging NIS+ and LDAP Data
NIS+ to LDAP Migration Scenarios showed how to synchronize NIS+ and LDAP data when data conflicts between the two should be resolved by letting either the NIS+ or the LDAP data be authoritative. Merging data requires a more complicated procedure.
The example procedure in this section assumes the following.
How to Merge NIS+ and LDAP Data
Caution - If the LDAP data should change between the download in Step 4 and the upload in Step 10, the upload might overwrite those changes. For this reason, you should try to prevent modifications to the LDAP data during this procedure. Consult your LDAP server documentation for more information.
 1. Back up all NIS+ data using the nisbackup command.
 # nisbackup -a /nisbackup
 2. Identify the NIS+ tables that have data which must be merged with LDAP. Dump the contents of these tables to flat files. For example, dump the contents of group.org_dir by using nisaddent as follows.
 # nisaddent -d group | sort > /before/group
 Piping the nisaddent output to sort will make for convenient comparison later on.
 3. Download LDAP data to NIS+.
 # /usr/sbin/rpc.nisd -D -m tmpmap \
 -x nisplusLDAPinitialUpdateAction=from_ldap \
 -x nisplusLDAPinitialUpdateOnly=yes
 4. Start the NIS+ service.
 # svcadm enable network/rpc/nisplus:default
 The rpc.nisd daemon will now be serving the data downloaded from LDAP. If the conflicts to be resolved are such that NIS+ clients should not be exposed to them, make sure to perform this and the following steps when there are few (preferably no) active NIS+ clients.
 5. Dump the NIS+ data for the affected tables.
 The following example uses the group.org_dir table.
 # nisaddent -d group | sort > /after/group
 6. Create merged versions of the tables.
 Use the file merge procedure of your choice to produce the

This module is a synoptic assessment module incorporating all previous modules in the programme and constitutes the Applied Knowledge Assessment component of 'Finals'.
This module comprises the Applied Knowledge Assessment (currently MCQ format) assessment of 'Finals' along with revision sessions.
The BM programmes are highly contextualised and integrated programmes in which the application of knowledge and understanding, clinical skills and professional practice applicable to medicine are learned through a range of modules none of which are standalone modules and therefore this module should be recognised by teachers and students alike as part of the whole programme. The Applied Knowledge assessment in BM final year is studied along with 3 other assessment modules (Clinical Procedural Skills assessment (CPSA), Workplace based assessment module and Data interpretation and Summarisation assessment module), The emphasis of the assessments for each of the modules aligns with the focus of learning for that module, however the integrated nature of the course means that there will undoubtedly be overlap and aspects of the assessment in each module will draw upon learning from modules studied in earlier years as well as modules studied in that year. The final year Applied Knowledge Assessment module has been purposely designed to assess learning outcomes covered in any of the modules within the programme.

The April precipitation forecast released by NOAA Thursday predicts wet weather in most of the Southeast and the Southwest, with dry conditions in the Northwest and Upper Midwest. (Credit: NOAA/ CPC)
The strong El Niño that dominated winter weather in South Florida lost some of its pop in March, despite earlier long-range predictions.
Palm Beach bucked weather trends that normally accompany an El Niño early spring. Instead of cool and wet, which was the original monthly forecast by NOAA, the month finished up very warm and dry.
A few areas around South Florida did receive heavy rainfall in March — Jupiter and Boca Raton, for example — but the coverage was not widespread.
The average high was 82 and the average low was 68 at Palm Beach International Airport, where 2.42 inches of rain fell for the month, a deficit of 2.17 inches. Overall temperatures were 4.3 degrees above normal.
The warmest temperature of the month was 89 on March 15, and the coolest was 55 on March 21 and 22.
All four official South Florida observation stations — Palm Beach International Airport, Fort Lauderdale, Miami and Naples — had a warm and dry March. But PBIA was the warmest of the four relative to normal.
Miami temperatures were almost 4 degrees above normal and Miami International Airport reported a rainfall deficit of 2.39 inches. Fort Lauderdale reported temperatures 2.2 degrees above normal and a precipitation shortfall of 0.52 of an inch, while Naples was 3 degrees above normal and rainfall came up 1.93 inches short.
Central Florida also finished March with above normal temperatures in all locations, from Orlando to Vero Beach and Fort Pierce, and most sites also posted precipitation deficits for the month. The exceptions were Orlando and Fort Pierce.
Both official weather recording sites in the Keys — Key West and Marathon — reported above normal temperatures and below normal rainfall.
APRIL OUTLOOK: NOAA is calling for normal precipitation patterns for South Florida through the first half of April, with normal to below normal temperatures. Forecasters hedged their bets for the second half, saying there are equal chances of above or below normal temperatures and rainfall.
Normal high temperatures in April start at 80 and rise to 84 by April 30. Lows begin the month at 64 and edge up to 68 by April 30. Normal April rainfall is 3.66 inches.
The hottest it's ever been in April in West Palm Beach is 99 degrees on April 30, 1971. The coldest is 38 on April 6, 1920.
TROPICAL ACTIVITY is rare in April, but not unheard of. The last named system in the Atlantic in April was Tropical Storm Ana, which spun up on April 20, 2003 and dissipated on April 24. It reached a maximum wind speed of 60 mph.
If one would form this year it would be named Tropical Storm Bonnie, due to the unlikely appearance of Hurricane Alex in January.
