Automatically update and restart node applications when you push to GIT.
TF Monitor (Work in Progress)
Note: TF Monitor, at this point, isn't being written with Windows in mind. Only Linux and Mac OS. Also, we expect your system to have git, cron and node installed in the default locations.
TF Monitor automatically restarts node applications when they crash or any file in their directory changes. In the future you will be able to:
 - specify an application to launch on bootup
 - automatically update and restart your app whenever you push to GIT
npm install -g tfmonitor
Use sudo if necessary.
TF Monitor uses a file called Procfile placed in your project folder to launch your application. This file should contain one or more lines that:
 - start with a name followed by a colon
 - after the colon is the command to start your application
See the "Launch Application" section for example.
A package.json file with a valid name is also required.
Run the following from your applications root folder:
tfmonitor start web
Or, if you want to run tfmonitor in the foreground so you can use ctrl-c to stop it use:
tfmonitor start web --foreground
You may also enable logging for this command with the --log command line parameter. This is useful if you want to know when your application restarts or you want to see any errors thrown by TF Monitor (the software is still early in development, so don't rely on it in a production environment).
Your Procfile for this example should look like:
web: node myapp.js
tfmonitor stop web
Where web is the command name in your Procfile.
tfmonitor register web
Note that your application will start on boot without using tfmonitor for restarting... This will change soon.
tfmonitor unregister web
tfmonitor list
This will return a list of running applications each with a pid and name. Note that the pid is for the tfmonitor process that is monitoring your appliction and not your application itself. If you kill this process it will not automatically restart like your application will.
First, make sure your application is fully setup to work with GIT. Try a git pull from your apps root directory.
Once this is working simply add -git to your start or register command like so:
tfmonitor register web -git
This will do a git pull once per hour. The advantage of this is your computer can be behind a firewall with no exposed ports.
The following features are not yet implemented. This defines how we plan to make them work in the future!
If your computer is not behind a firewall, or you have the ability to open ports, the better way to setup git is to use a "hook". Your hook should point to:
Then use our -githook [port] command like in the following example:
tfmonitor register web -githook 8989
Note that tfmonitor will run a small web service on your chosen port and that the application tfmonitor runs cannot use the same port.

Introduction: Posture Correction Shirt
MetaSkin is a technology that is based on the amount of Infrared light which is being reflected by stretchable cloth. With the technology used in MetaSkin we want to develop a way to improve the posture of people during sitting for example. When a person sits straight with the shoulders turned backwards and the breast to the front the cloth on the back of the person just underneath the shoulder blades won't be stretched. If the person sits crooked or slumped the cloth on the back of the person will be stretched. This difference should evoke a buzzer, sound or vibration to give feedback to the user about his or her posture.
Link to video-_URL_
Step 1: How Does It Work?
A Reflective sensor which contains a emitter and a receiver part is placed against the cloth. When the cloth is not stretched, a lot of IR light which is sent by the emitter is received again by the receiver. When the cloth is stretched there is less material in front of the sensor which means that less IR light will be reflected by the cloth and received by the receiver. In our product this difference will be used to give warnings to the user. This difference should evoke a buzzer, sound or vibration to give feedback to the user about his or her posture.
Step 2: Do You Crook or Slump While Working on Computer a Lot?
Did you know that experts estimate that as many as 80% of the population will experience a back problem at some time in our lives (American Chiropractic Association, 2015). Most of the people are aware of this but are not able to take action while working.
Step 3: What If You Have a Persuasive Trigger to Improve Your Posture?
Step 4: Materials Required
 1. Jumper wires
 2. Clothing
 3. Long wires
 4. LED
 5. IR sensor (emitter and receiver)
 6. Resistor (10k)
 7. Breadboard
 8. Arduino
 9. Glue
 10. Sensor mount
Step 5: Make the Connections
Step 6: Glue the Sensor on Clothing
Make sure the sensor is not glued and fabric is able to stretch under the sensor. Glue the sensor mount or the wires to the fabric
Step 7: Upload the Code to the Arduino Board
Please find attached the code in the pdf attached.
Step 8: Check and Adjust the 'posture' Threshold
Move your posture from straight to bending position and check the change of values of 'posture' in seek monitor (accessible from magnifying icon on top right corner of Arduino interface). Change the value in the code to the lowest average value you see when you are sitting in bending position.
Step 9: Future Possibilities
You can make it wireless and use flexible sensors to make it less clumsy.

 Hey.. I would like to knw tht what kind of arduino is used in this project.. Plus what kind of jumper wires nd sensor mount is used?.
 Yes, you can use a flex sensor may be. We just went for a cheaper alternative i.e. is the IR sensor (it costs you USD 1 and flex sensor is around USD 8).
 But agreed, it may be a better option!
 i may actually make this. i have a flex sensor and the mentioned wifi chip etc. i will let you know.
 :) just saw your last step - great concept.!!
 Seems like a mild electrical shock would be more effective than a buzzer. ?
 Hey! we used- Vishay TCRT1000, Through Hole Reflective Optical Sensor. The link for that sensor is here-_URL_
 Awesome concept, I'd like one of these shirts!
 Love this!
 Just reading this Instructable was enough make me change how I was sitting.

Philippines, January 13, 2006
Going Where the Growth Is
Pioneer Hi-Bred Philippines (PHPI) recently participated in Asia's largest gathering of current and future ethanol producers and investors in Manila.
More than 200 delegates from Europe, the United States, and different countries in Asia including China, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines attended the event.
The active involvement of Pioneer in supporting ethanol efforts is aligned with DuPont's goal of becoming a sustainable company by increasing the use of renewable resources, thereby reducing its environmental footprint.
Dr. Sammy Dalmacio, registration & regulatory science consultant, PHPI, presented the paper "Selection and Optimization of Corn Hybrids for Fuel Ethanol Production," written by senior research scientist Douglas Haefele.
The presentation was intended to increase interest in corn as a primary feedstock in ethanol production by helping participants understand how advanced hybrid corn technology can improve ethanol yield.
"As demand for biofuels improves, the availability of reliable and sustainable sources will become increasingly important. Corn, being one of the best sources of ethanol, will be in high demand. This could consequently trigger an expansion of the hybrid areas in the major corn locations," said PHPI Country Manager Jet Parma.

Introduction: EZ-Face - Multiple Face Recognition Made Easy
EZ-Face: Making multiple face recognition - easy!
EZ-Face performs multiple face recognition. It has an interface for training faces and assigning names.
When the application sees faces that are recognized the names are displayed and visually you'll see boxes around the faces with the names assigned. As seen in the main application picture - EZ-Face was trained to recognize the character "Sarah Connor" from the movie "Terminator". Her face is surrounded by a red box and because her face was recognized her name is also displayed.
If a face is detected but not recognized there will be a display of a box around the face with no name. The more pictures of a face you train, the easier it is for the application to recognize a face.
This is a stand alone application I myself developed in C# under Visual Studio.NET 2013. It does require .NET framework 4.5 and should be run on Windows7 and Windows8.x systems. The project is open source, all source code is included.
EZ-Face is designed to connect with 3rd party robotics applications like EZ-Builder from _URL_. EZ-Face can pass variables such as the name of the person's face to EZ-Builder or other 3rd party applications that can send and receive commands on a TCP channel.

Correlation poses a serious threat to many engineered systems because the simultaneous failure of multiple components can dangerously degrade performance. Given the high cost of system failures in business and mission-critical applications, methods to explicitly consider the impact of correlation on system reliability are essential. This paper constructs a stochastic-flow network model to analyze the performance of a computer network, where there exists correlation between the failures of all the physical lines and routers comprising the edges and nodes of the network. That is, we address global-scale events that can cause widespread damage to the performance of the network. We propose a simulation approach to estimate the probability that a given amount of data can be sent from a source to sink through this network. This probability that the network satisfies a specified level of demand is referred to as the system reliability. Experimental results demonstrate that correlation can produce a substantial impact on system reliability. The proposed approach, thus, captures the influence of correlation on system reliability and offers a method to quantify the utility of reducing correlation.

Prolongation of network lifetime is one of the most important issues of sensor networks. EEHF (Environmental Energy Harvesting Framework) is a framework that includes a data gathering scheme and estimates the energy gained from the environment by using the periodicity of environmental power. Thus, sensor nodes can use environmental energy efficiently and the network lifetime is extended. However, since the accuracy of the estimation depends on the length of the period, and the data gathering scheme used in EEHF does not take environmental energy into consideration, this method has room for improvement. In this paper, we propose a more accurate and adaptive energy estimation method that does not depend on the length of the period, and a data gathering scheme that is optimized for the environmental energy-based sensor network, in order to prolong the lifetime of environmental energy-based sensor networks.

It would be really cool if someone can help me with the following:
I drew a tube in sketchup and I managed to hide some handles to scale (via component Attributes - Behavior - Scale tool). So the user can only scale the tube in one direction. No I would like the scaling to snap on a multiple of 25.
So when my tube is 100cm and I scale it to 523, the lenght should snap to 525. When I scale the tube to 7cm, it should snap to 25.
25cm is the shortest the tube can be. 12m is the longest the tube can be.
Does anyone now how to do this?
I hope the question is clear enough. If not, don't hesitate to ask me more about the problem!
Thank you in advance and kind regads!
The maths to do this is relatively simple - divide by your "snap unit", round to an integer, then multiply up again by the snap unit.
But first, you need to know about the way that new values get updated from the user interface. For this, you need the special function "current()".
Current() receives a value from your mouse (or VCB) interaction, and then makes the DC equations update once, and only once. Without this, a reference such as...
LenX = round(LenX/25)*25
...doesn't know when to stop calculating, because every change to LenX makes it change again, and again - a circular reference. In reality, this kind of error is trapped, but still gives strange results.
The correct form is...
LenX = round(current("LenX")/25) * 25
Note that you must wrap the parameter name in quotes as shown here.
You could also use the functions ceiling() or floor(), if you want the snapping to always round up, or always round down - round() always goes to the closest one.
Also, watch out for small lengths that might snap to zero length - the IF function can test for this, e.g...
LenX = if ( current("LenX")>25, round(current("LenX")/25)*25, 25)
Here, if current("LenX") is over 25, you will get the result of the rounding functions, otherwise you get a fixed value of 25.
And there is yet another thing to be careful of. No matter what units you use for your drawing, current(), always return the length in inches! So if you are working in metric you may have to multiply the result by 2.54 before rounding.
LenX = if ( current("LenX")>25, round(current("LenX")*2.54/25)*25, 25)
There's a full list of functions HERE.
Thank you for the quick reply. I'm going to take some time to figure this out because I'm not that well-known with formulas.
I do understand the forumulas you gave me. Now I need to combine these untill I got what I need, am I right?
Is it still possible to adjust the tube in lenght with the scale tool?
Untill now I already created an attribute LenZ. Users could enter the length in a textbow. So I figure that it is either one or the other. Of "entering the lenght" - Or scaling the length with the limitation of a snap-formula.
Yes, you are on the right track...
To use snapping from the Options it's best to use a drop-down list - if an attribute is using a formula, it cannot also be editable in the Component Options window. As soon as the user chooses a new value in the window, the literal value will replace the formula - leaving the snapping disabled.
You can create a custom "data entry" attribute to use in the Options window, and then reference that inside the formula. But, to do that, you would still need to disable the scale tool completely, as there is no way to make the formula switch automatically between using the custom attribute when editing the window, or using current("LenZ") when you use the scale tool - it would require a function something like "Most_Recently_Changed(attr1,attr2)", which SU does not have (though it would be nice).
So, as you say, it is a matter of choosing one method or the other. This will depend on the context of the component - for "snap to grid" type functions, using the scale tool is usually most natural, whereas for "real world" objects that come in standard sizes (e.g. screw threads, shoe sizes), the Options window may be more appropriate.
Thank you very much!
I used this formula: LenZ=ROUND(CURRENT("LenZ")*2.54/25)*25 and it works perfectly.
It would be nice indeed.
Thank you for the quick replies. The explanation was very clear!
'bout time I was contributing a little more round here - the generosity of other forum users taught me most of what I use every day in SU.
I'll pay it forward when my I have some more knowledge about SU.

Why Are My Messages Being Sent As Text And Not IMessage?
Why is it green when I text another iPhone?
The green message background indicates the traditional SMS text message.
It actually means a message that you have sent to someone else is through SMS message service instead of Apple iMessage.
Blue message background means the message is sent via iMessage technology..
What does it mean when your iMessage goes from blue to green?
If you have an iPhone and you use the Messages app to contact an Android, BlackBerry or Windows Phone user, iOS recognizes there's no iMessage at the other end and switches (downshifts?) into SMS mode. Your indication that has happened? Green word bubbles instead of blue. … iMessage isn't activated on your device.
Why won't my green texts go through?
They might not have service, or might have their phone in Airplane Mode. … What this means is that if you've exceeded your phone plan's data limit, or you're out of range of LTE or Wi-Fi, iMessage won't work. Your phone will likely resend the text as a green bubble SMS.
Why are one of my texts green?
If both devices have iMessage turned on and to send as SMS when iMessage is not available, the the green messages are indicative of iMessage not being available on one or both devices. Restart both devices (press the HOME and power button until the Apple logo appears then releasae).
How do I stop sending Imessages to a non iPhone?
1. Switch off iMessage on your iPhone.Go to the settings section of your iPhone and tap on Messages: … Now switch off iMessage. … Now check that you're getting texts the regular SMS way and not via iMessage any longer. … Go to iCloud in the settings of your MacBook. … Sign in to iCloud.More items…•
What does it mean when your iMessage says sent as text message?
This is because your iPhone has sent your message as an SMS over your mobile network, rather than iMessage on an internet connection. …
Does iMessage turn green when phone is off?
Does green text on iPhone mean blocked?
Blue or Green has nothing to do with being blocked. Blue means iMessage, i.e., messages sent through Apple, Green means messages sent through SMS. Do Not Disturb will not turn them to green as they are delivered but no sound or notification goes through while Do Not Disturb is on.
How do you know if a text message was delivered on iPhone?
Answer: A: If you're sending an iMessage (they're blue and they only go to other iOS/MacOS users), you will see a delivered indicator under the message once it has been delivered. If the person you're sending the message to has the Read Receipt feature enabled, "Delivered" will change to "Read" once it's been read.
Why are my Imessages sending as text messages to one person?
It could be possible that the person has either blocked you and if this is not the case then, try point 2. Sign Out Of iMessage and Sign Back In. Head back to Settings -> Messages and tap to open 'Send & Receive'. … Sign back in using your Apple ID and try sending an iMessage to one of your friends with an iPhone.
How can I tell if my text message was delivered?
Now when you send a text message you can tap and hold the message and select "View message details". On some models, it may be under "View report". The statuses will show "Received", "Delivered", or may simply show the time of delivery.
How do you send a text message on iPhone instead of iMessage?
Open the Settings application by tapping the "Settings" icon on your iPhone's home screen.Tap the "Messages" row to open the Messages screen.Tap the switch next to "iMessage" so that it reads "Off." Your iPhone will now send all messages in text message format instead of using the iMessage service.
How do you know if a green text message was delivered?
You can tell if your message has been sent via iMessage in Apple's messaging app because it'll be blue. If it's green, it's an ordinary text message and doesn't offer the read/delivered receipts. iMessage only works when you're sending messages to other iPhone users.
Will a green text message say delivered?
Meanwhile Android (among literally anything else besides iPhone) will display green indicating it's not an iMessage connection. … This could be because the person is in an area without Wifi or they could even have turned off imessages. On iPhone, text messages don't usually say delivered, only imessages do.
Can I turn off Imessages for one contact?
But if you'd like to send Text Messages to a single contact, you have a couple options. Disable iMessage when messaging your contact, then re-enable it when your conversation is over or you'd like to use iMessage again. To do this, visit Settings > Messages, then toggle off iMessage.

Emergency clause
The emergency clause is a provision included as part of a bill in the Oklahoma Legislature that allows it to become effective immediately upon the signature of the Governor or at a specified date. Emergency clauses require approval by two-thirds of the members of both chambers and are voted on separately and subsequently to the vote approving a measure. A law cannot become effective fewer than 90 days after sine die adjournment without an emergency clause. The one exception is the General Appropriations bill, which can take effect on July 1st without an emergency clause and by a simple majority. As a result of State Question 640, a revenue bill, as defined under Article V, Section 33 of the Constitution, cannot contain an emergency clause.

IMSE Electronics Design - How to Start?
If you are an electronics designer, becoming an IMSE electronics designer is not a giant step. You already have basic understanding about the tools and methods for traditional electronics. These can be utilized in IMSE electronics, as well. In the big picture, the design flow is similar in PCB design and IMSE electronics design, but the details make the difference. In this post, I will explain the key differences.
1. Understand Electrical Characteristics of IMSE Materials
When you design the electrical characteristics of your layout, you need to recognize that the materials are not similar with a PCB. This also means that the circuit's electrical characteristics are different. The same layout, one made with IMSE and the other with a traditional PCB, has different electrical characteristics. Traces have big differences in terms of conductivity and are one of the most important design parameters. In addition, the plastics used in IMSE creating the mechanical structure are electrical components as well, and these are worth considering in the design.
2. IMSE Stack-up
An IMSE stack-up contains
A substrate film,
Traces, which are printed on top of the substrate and
Injection molding resin.
Calculation methods used in PCBs, for example, relating impedance, are not applicable for IMSE. IMSE sets certain limitations on how to build stack-up, but also what kind of a grounding structure we can use. Designing the IMSE stack-up is different compared to the PCB world, since the IMSE stack-up is also a mechanical structure of a product and typically an optical light guide, as well. So it is not designed only by an electrical engineer, but a mechanical engineer and an optical engineer together.
3. Design for Manufacturing
Materials used in IMSE are not similar to those used in PCBs. This means that the manufacturing methods are different. In IMSE, traces are printed with silk screen printing, the assembled electrical circuit is 3D formed and finally the electronics are encapsulated inside the plastic by injection molding. All of these impact on how to consider design for manufacturing. Make sure that your design can be manufactured by understanding the IMSE manufacturing steps.
4. One Integrated, Solid Piece
An IMSE part is an integration of electronics, optics, mechanics, graphics, antennas, etc. All disciplines are integrated into a one solid piece, and all have critical parameters, which need to be designed properly. Design work is a close collaboration between all engineers, and compromises should be done. Things become easier if all understand well what the technology limitations are and where we need to be strict and what items can be flexible.
These four key points set the foundation for IMSE electronics design. For a PCB designer, this is not a side step. It is just learning something new and different.

CMOS-compatible long-range dielectric-loaded plasmonic waveguides featuring long propagation lengths and strong mode confinements are designed and studied using the finite-element method. The waveguide composition includes a Si3N4 ridge on the top of a thin metal stripe deposited on a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) wafer with a thin top SiO2 layer produced by thermal oxidation. All the materials chosen in the design are compatible with complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor technology and can be integrated with plasmonic, electronic and photonic components. Influence of various waveguide parameters on the waveguide characteristics is analyzed, including the thicknesses of the Si layer and the SiO2 layers, the dimension of the ridge, as well as the parameters of the metal stripe. It is found that, at the telecom wavelength of 1.55 μm, the propagation length of CMOS-plasmonic waveguides can reach 1.07 mm with a lateral mode confinement of ~1.18 μm and 4.43 mm with a lateral mode width of ~2.32 μm. The bending loss and coupling length are both calculated to evaluate the applicability of the proposed device for high density integration and a figure of merit is proposed to show the tradeoff between the propagation length and the lateral mode width in the application of plasmonic devices.

 1. primary
 2. secondary
 3. tertiary
 4. quaternary
 5. quinary
 6. senary
 7. septenary
 8. octonary
 9. nonary
 10. denary
 11. -- no term for 11th degree??
 12. duodenary
I am curious as to what would be the sequence of terms regarding a set of 'n' items? I have up to four:
 1. unary
 2. binary
 3. ternary
 4. quaternion
but, I cannot seem to find anything beyond that. Anyone know where this list may be?

The problem is that English uses two different kinds of adjectives to mean "first, second, etc". The ones in -ary without the -n- come from the Latin ordinals, "first, second, etc."; but they are different after 3.
 1. Primus — primary "first"
 2. Secundus — secondary "second"
 3. Tertius — tertiary
 4. Quartus — *quartary
 5. Quintus — *quintary
The -arius suffix is also used in Latin with ordinals, and secundarius means something like "second, pertaining to two, second in rank", though it often comes very close to the simple ordinal secundus. It usually adds some connotation of ranks and order in a grand system. There is also secundanus, which I believe isn't much different.
The -n- ones come from Latin distributive adjectives, "one each, two each, etc."; they are always used in plural. They were sometimes also used in a sense roughly similar to the ordinals, which is probably why English uses them in an odd way.
 1. (Singuli — single "one each")
 2. Bini — binary "two each"
 3. Terni/trini — ternary/*trinary
 4. Quaterni — quaternary
 5. Quini — quinary
 6. Seni — senary
 7. Septeni — septenary
 8. Octoni — octonary
 9. Noveni — *novenary
 10. Deni — denary
 11. Undeni — *undenary
 12. Duodeni — duodenary
 13. Terni/trini deni — *ternidenary/*tridenary
I believe the ones derived from ordinals were originally used to mean "second [in order]" in English, and the distributive -n- ones to mean "of two parts", or "characterised by the number 2". But then, because these meanings are related and often overlap, they got mixed up, resulting in the current defective lists, where the -n- forms serve both senses from 4 up.
The number one is the strangest exception of all, where a new word unary was made up, though no Latin equivalent exists (there is only unus, "one", but that is like using *duary from duo, "two"). Nonary is odd as well.
These are the Latin cardinal numbers for reference:
 1. Unus/una/unum/etc. (depending on gender and case) — "one"
 2. Duo/duorum/duarum/etc. (depending on case and gender) — "two"
 3. Tres/trium/etc. (depending on case)
 4. Quattuor
 5. Quinque
 6. Sex
 7. Septem
 8. Octo
 9. Novem
 10. Decim
 11. Undecim
 12. Duodecim
 13. Tredecim

ah, that's why I couldn't find a separate listing... that's fine then for my purposes; the terms were going to be used in naming functions/classes in a library I am developing, and I was trying to be as grammatically accurate as I could. That's not usually a big deal for us programmers, but I tend to be more finicky about certain things than others. – Will May 13 '11 at 12:51

_USER_ No, bases are a different meaning. The words "binary" and "ternary" are used for both, but "octary" and "octal" are different. – aschepler May 13 '11 at 2:29

I know I'm a little late here, but I thought it might be worth mentioning that Wikipedia has a great list of base systems, which goes all the way up to 16 (Hexadecimal, of course) without holes, and then on to 85 (Pentaoxagesimal). Here's a quick reproduction of part of it:
 1. unary (not actually on the main list, but listed farther down as being used in tally marks)
 2. binary
 3. ternary
 4. quarternary
 5. quinary
 6. senary
 7. septenary (used in weeks)
 8. octal
 9. nonary
 10. decimal (everybody's favorite!)
 11. undecimal
 12. duodecimal (used in hours, months)
 13. tridecimal
 14. pentadecimal
 15. pentadecimal
 16. hexadecimal (Base16 encoding)
18 is octodecimal
20 is vigesimal
It's interesting to note that even our method of naming these systems reflects our attachment to the decimal system, as we begin to add prefixes after decimal. Also, if you want to form a higher number, it appears that you can use the following formula:
prefix for 2nd digit + prefix for 1st digit + gesimal
So, 27 is septemvigesimal. I invented this formula in answer to this question, but it appears to fit every case on the list.
Wikipedia also lists −2 as negabinary and −3 as negaternary. Theoretically, you can add the negaprefix to anything, but I have no idea what you would use it for.

7 Of The Most Common Mistakes People Make With Pasta
Who doesn't love a good bowl of pasta? Pasta is there for us in our times of need, like when we forget about dinner and people are starting to get hangry. Noodles, meet sauce—and dinner is served!
But here's the thing about our favorite quick and easy dinner: with a few low-effort changes to our cooking, we can all make pasta that is perfectly cooked and genuinely delicious! All it takes is avoiding a few key pasta mistakes.
So today I'll be sharing 7 of the most common mistakes that people make when it comes to pasta. By avoiding these behaviors, you can take your pasta dishes from a pile of noodles to a gourmet meal! :-)
7 Pasta Mistakes That Are Surprisingly Common
1. Using A Too-Small Pot
Sure, it can be a bit of pain to wash your big pasta pot, but it's no excuse to use a smaller pot! You'll always get better results cooking your pasta in a big pot with lots of water than a small pot with less water.
The extra space gives the pasta room to move around while it cooks. And the more it can move, the less likely it is you'll end up with sticky, unevenly cooked pasta globs.
2. Pouring Sauce On The Pasta
The final stages of the cooking process can make or break a pasta dish! The simple act of marrying your pasta and sauce together on your stovetop can make the difference between a delicious, gourmet pasta dish and a bowl of sauced noodles.
While the pasta is cooking, make or warm your sauce in a wide pan on your stovetop. When the pasta is 1-2 minutes shy of being done, move it over to the sauce and finish cooking it there.
It only takes a couple of extra minutes, and you'll love the difference it makes!
3. Not Using The Pasta Water
That salty, starchy pasta water can make a big difference in your finished dish! The starchiness will help add body to your sauce, and help the sauce stick to the noodles themselves.
You can either save a small amount of the pasta water to add to your sauce, or just make sure your noodles are still a bit wet when you transfer them over to your sauce.
4. Adding Oil To The Cooking Water
You don't need to add oil to your pasta water. Some people do this to prevent long noodles from sticking together, but noodles are supposed to be sticky and starchy! (If they aren't, the sauce won't really adhere to them.)
And if you finish your pasta in the sauce, you won't have to worry about the noodles sticking together anyway. So skip the oil!
5. Serving Pasta On A Plate
Even if you have a relatively thick pasta sauce, it's still a good idea to serve pasta in a bowl instead of on a plate. The curved bowl will keep your pasta warmer for longer than a plate, and it usually makes it a bit easier to eat.
6. Not Waiting For The Water To Boil
I realize that as an impatient person myself, it's a bit rich for me to be advocating for patience. But we should all be a bit more patient when it comes to bringing our pasta water to a boil!
If you add your noodles to the water before it starts boiling, it will take even longer to get it up to the boiling point. And until that happens, your noodles will just be steeping in warm water and their texture will likely suffer for it.
7. Putting Pasta In Your Garbage Disposal
Leftover pasta should go in your fridge, the trash can, or really anywhere other than your garbage disposal! Pasta expands considerably when wet, and anything that expands spells out bad news for a garbage disposal.
So avoid those potentially nasty clogs and expensive repairs by making your disposal a No Pasta Zone!

another RTC module after starting, do not use the -a option You can suppress startup of the servant by specifying it.
-f: Specify setting file
With the -f option, you can give files of arbitrary names to standalone components or rtcd instead of rtc.conf.
 <Application example>
 ConsoleInComp -f consin.conf
-o: Option specification
With the -o option, you can give options that can be specified in rtc.conf from the command line. Options given with the -o option take precedence over those specified in rtc.conf, so if you want to temporarily overwrite the options specified in rtc.conf and change them, It is convenient to use the '-o' option. However, since it is passed as a command line option, blanks are recognized as argument breaks, so you do not need to include spaces or enclose it in single quotes or double quotation marks.
 <Application example>
 ConsoleInComp -o corba.nameservers:localhost,openrtm.org
 ConsoleInComp -o "corba.nameservers:localhost, openrtm.org"
 <Example not recognized correctly>
 ConsoleInComp -o corba.nameservers:localhost, openrtm.org
 '',(Comma)'' followed by a space, so openrtm.org is recognized as another argument.
-p: Port number specification
Using -p, you can specify the port number used by the RTC to be started. You may want to use this option if you want to start with a specific port number when RTC starts up. This option has the same hostname as the corba.endpoints: option and behaves the same as specifying only the port number.
 <Application example>
 ConsoleInComp -p 2810
 Same as below
 ConsoleInComp -o "corba.endpoints: :2810"
-d: Master manager designation
With the -d option you can start the standalone component you started up and rtcd as daemon mode and master manager. The manager has a master and a slave, and the master normally waits for a request with fixed port number 2810 and delegates RTC activation etc. to the slave. When invoked with the -d option, the port number is fixed to 2810 by default, the manager servant is started in master mode, and the manager's reference is registered in the name service.
Manager (basic)
Writing
rtc.conf reference
General settings
config.version
Version of the configuration file.
 - Example:
 config.version: 1.0
openrtm.version
Version of OpenRTM-aist.

 - Default value:
 - Example:
 manager.is_master: NO
manager.corba_servant
Setting whether to activate manager 's CORBA servant. If you set YES, the manager's CORBA servant will start, so you can operate the manager remotely. In the case of NO, since the CORBA servant is not activated, it is impossible for the manager to operate via CORBA.
 - Designation: YES or NO
 - Default value: YES
 - Example:
 manager.corba_servant: YES
corba.master_manager
Master manager address and port number. The master manager can access by corbaloc format URL specification, but specifies the port number to be used at that time. In addition, the slave manager interprets the master manager specified here as its own master manager, and accesses and negotiates the master manager at startup.
 - Specification: <host_name>: <port>
 - Default: localhost: 2810
 - Example:
 corba.master_manager: localhost:2810
manager.shutdown_on_nortcs:
When there is no RTC on the process, that is, when the last one of the RTCs on the same process is terminated, it specifies whether to shut down the manager and terminate the process. In the case of YES, the process is terminated when there is no RTC. In the case of NO, both the manager and the process continue to move even when there is no RTC.
 - Designation: YES or NO
 - Default: YES
 - Example:
 manager.shutdown_on_nortcs: YES
manager.shutdown_auto
Check the presence or absence of RTC in the process at regular time intervals, and if there is no RTC, set whether or not to shut down manager and process. If yes, if there is no RTC, the manager and process are automatically shut down. If NO, the manager and processes continue to operate even if there is no RTC.
The difference from manager.shutdown_on_nortcs is that the shutdown trigger, While manager.shutdown_on_nortcs removes RTC, manager.shutdown_auto is a point in time.
 - Designation: YES or NO
 - Default: YES
 - Example:
 manager.shutdown_auto: YES
manager.auto_shutdown_duration
Period to check for the presence or absence of RTC in the process. The unit is seconds. If manager.shutdown_auto above is set to YES, check the presence or absence of RTC at the cycle set by this option.

 - Specify: Specify the CPU ID to be bound by a comma
 - Default: None
 - Example:
 manager.cpu_affinity: 0,1
manager.supported_languages
The master manager activates the slave manager and the RTC in response to a request from a remote application or the like. Slave managers may be not only C++ language versions, but also Java and Python versions. This option sets the language supported by the master manager.

text: first i have a quick question, for average power of a transverse harmonic wave the equation has the quantities tension, frequency and amplitude. the question asks me to find how much i need to change each quantity to increase the power by a factor of 100, i understand all that but then it asks me which quantity is the easiest to change. i got that the tension needed to be increased by a factor of 10000, and the frequency and amplitude only needed a factor of 10, im not quite sure if frequency or amplitude is easier to change, im guessing frequency because amplitude cannot be directly changed, whereas frequency you just move the string up and down faster? anyways to the question im having trouble with: 1) the linear mass density of a nonuniform wire under constant tension decreases gradually along the wire so that an incident wave is transmitted without reflection. The wire in uniform for -infinity < x <= 0. In this region a transverse wave has the form y(x,t) = 0.003cos(25x-50t) with x,y in meteres and t in seconds. From x = 0 to x =20m the mass density decreases from initial mass density to (initial mass density / 4). For 20<= x < infinity, the mass density is constant at (initial mass density / 4). a) what is the wave velocity for large values of x b)what is the amplitude for large values of x? c) give y(x,t) for the large values of x i got part a and it turns out to be 4 m/s, but i dont know what to do to get the amplitude, also in part c how do i find the k and w(omega)? is the k constant?

Every organisation that works with children needs to have someone that takes the lead on safeguarding and child protection. We refer to them as a nominated child protection lead but they may also be known as:
- Designated Safeguarding Officer (DSO)
- Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL)
- "Named person" for child protection
- Child protection officer
- Child protection lead
- Safeguarding or child protection coordinator.
The role may be performed by one person or split between staff. Larger organisations may have a safeguarding team. Boards of governors, trustees and management committees should also have someone who is responsible for safeguarding. In some organisations the nominated child protection lead also has other roles to perform.
You should also make sure that you have procedures in place to respond to child protection concerns when your nominated lead is absent or unavailable. This could include nominating someone who is trained to act as a deputy. You can also contact the NSPCC Helpline for advice or to report any concerns. Make sure that you keep clear records and communicate what's happened and the steps you've taken to your nominated child protection lead on their return.
Example role description for nominated child protection lead
We've created an example role description which you can use to make sure everyone in your organisation understands the important role of the nominated child protection lead. It should be used in conjunction with our information and resources on safeguarding and child protection.
Everyone who is taking the lead on safeguarding and child protection should be fully trained to carry out their role.

This video shows how to enable features in your pm2 config file that allow you to prevent runaway apps from bringing your server down. Setting max memory used, number of running processes allowed and maximum restart attempts are all covered.
There are three other options I want to cover real quickly before we wrap this up, and they're done inside the config file again.
The first one I want to cover is the instances object. What instances will do is spin up the number of processes defined here. If we set this to zero, PM2 is going to spin up one process for every CPU you have in your system.
If you want a little finer control of that, you can put in two, four, six, seven, whatever number you'd like to see as far as the number of running processes. The reason the instances option is so cool is because it allows you to do rolling restarts, and graceful reloads of your app.
In the event that you deploy code and issue a reload command to PM2, what's going to happen is it's not going to kill any active connections.
As those connections close or go away, it will stop them and bring up new processes that contain your new code. What essentially happens there is that anyone who's currently using your website during that reload command won't be disconnected.
Their session will stay, and they'll be allowed to finish whatever operation they were on without having their process killed. This creates a much more professional experience for your users.
Another cool option that may be handy for you in times of desperate need is the max memory restart. You can use this...let's say that you've been profiling your note app, and you've noticed that if you get above eight gig of memory utilization, your app starts behaving very sporadic and is prone to crash. What you can actually tell PM2 to do is just when you get to eight gig of memory utilization, to go ahead and restart your app.
Clearly, this isn't something that you want to depend on, or it doesn't...you don't want this to be your everyday running configuration. If you've got a bug that you just haven't been able to find, and you've got to keep your site up for your customers, this is going to help you out.
The last one we'll cover is max restarts, which is probably a good one to use in combination with max memory restart. What this will do is tell PM2 to only restart your app the number of times listed here, for our example, 10 times.
After 10 times, if your app crashes, PM2 is going to bring that down or it's going to leave it in erred state and it won't attempt to restart it until you stop and restart the entire PM2 process.
This is just like a safety valve, and it's going to keep a rogue app on your system from consuming all your system resources by continually restarting. When it hits that max number, PM2 will just let it die and save your system until you can come in and manually intervene.
The last thing I have to say about this, is we've built out multiple apps suing a configuration file. We've learned how to define each one differently so that each one can have its own unique characteristics.
The coolest thing about all of this is we've done this inside of the config file, and that config file can now be added to your repo, where it gets all the benefits of source control, version control, and it can be managed as code with the rest of your code base.

What Is Aggressive Wifi To Cellular Handover?
Aggressive WiFi to cellular handover is a technology that allows mobile devices to switch seamlessly between cellular networks and WiFi networks. This technology is particularly useful in locations where WiFi signals are stronger or more reliable than cellular signals.
Aggressive WiFi to cellular handover works by detecting changes in the signal strength of both WiFi and cellular networks. When a mobile device detects that a WiFi network is strong and stable enough to provide an adequate network connection, it switches its network connectivity to that WiFi network. Likewise, when the signal strength of the WiFi network is weak or breaks down, the device switches back to cellular data seamlessly. Aggressive WiFi to cellular handover is a relatively new technology that solves traditional network connectivity problems faced by most mobile device users, ensuring uninterrupted network connectivity.
What is Aggressive WiFi to Cellular Handover?
Aggressive WiFi to cellular handover refers to a technology that enables devices to transition from a WiFi connection to a cellular connection seamlessly and quickly. This is important in scenarios where the WiFi signal is weak or unstable and the cellular network offers a stronger and more reliable signal. Here are some key points that explain this technology in more detail:
- WiFi to cellular handover is a common feature on smartphones and other devices that support both WiFi and cellular connectivity.
- Aggressive handover means that the device will automatically switch from WiFi to cellular when it detects a drop in WiFi signal strength, without waiting for the connection to completely fail.
- This technology is especially useful in areas where WiFi coverage may be patchy or inconsistent, such as public spaces like malls or airports.
- By quickly switching to cellular, the device can maintain a seamless internet connection without any disruption, providing a better user experience.
- Aggressive WiFi to cellular handover is also helpful in situations where the user is moving between areas with different types of connectivity, such as from a home WiFi network to a cellular network while driving or walking outside.
- Some devices allow users to customize their WiFi to cellular handover preferences, such as specifying a threshold of signal strength before triggering the transition.
Overall, aggressive WiFi to cellular handover is an important technology that enables devices to seamlessly switch between different types of connectivity. This ensures users can stay connected to the internet without interruption or disruption, regardless of where they are or what type of network they are using.
FAQ
1. What is aggressive WiFi to cellular handover?
Aggressive WiFi to cellular handover is a process where a device automatically switches from WiFi to cellular data when the WiFi signal is low or weak.
2. Why is aggressive WiFi to cellular handover important?
Aggressive WiFi to cellular handover is important because it helps to maintain a consistent and reliable internet connection for the user. It prevents the device from getting stuck in a weak or unusable WiFi signal, which can cause frustration and interruptions in internet usage.
3. How does aggressive WiFi to cellular handover work?
Aggressive WiFi to cellular handover works by detecting when the WiFi signal strength is low or weak. The device then activates the cellular data connection and switches over to it until the WiFi signal is strong again.
4. Can aggressive WiFi to cellular handover be turned off?
Yes, aggressive WiFi to cellular handover can be turned off in the device's network or settings menu. However, it is not recommended as it can cause a decrease in internet speed and reliability.
5. Does aggressive WiFi to cellular handover consume more cellular data?
Yes, aggressive WiFi to cellular handover can consume more cellular data than relying solely on WiFi. However, this can be controlled by setting data usage limits or adjusting the device's network settings.
Conclusion
In this discussion, we have learned about aggressive WiFi to cellular handover and its impact on mobile device users. This technology aims to provide a seamless internet experience by switching from WiFi to cellular network without interruptions. However, it has its drawbacks, such as draining the battery life of mobile devices and causing interference with neighboring WiFi networks.
Despite these challenges, aggressive WiFi to cellular handover is a promising technology that enhances connectivity and internet accessibility for mobile device users. As technology continues to evolve, we can expect to see innovative solutions that address the current limitations of this technology and improve its overall performance.

Putnam County Sheriff's Deputies Trained to Administer "Narcan"
Narcan trainingNarcan training
Putnam County Sheriff Donald B. Smith reports that he has instituted a new life-saving program within the Sheriff's Office. The Sheriff's Office is the first law enforcement agency in the county to receive Narcan training. Each sworn member of the department is receiving training in administering Naloxone, commonly known as Narcan, by Thomas Lannon and Robert Cuomo, certified instructors from the Putnam County Bureau of Emergency Services.
Narcan is a special narcotic drug that reverses the effects of other narcotic substances to include heroin. It is often used to treat drug overdose or diagnostic narcotic drug addiction. Previously, Narcan was only allowed to be used by paramedics or physicians because it is a prescription drug. However, now emergency first responders can be trained to carry and administer the drug to combat the epidemic of opiate-related deaths in our area.
Narcan nasal atomizers have the amazing ability to reverse heroin effects within seconds, returning an overdose victim to alertness, immediate sobriety, normal heart rates, and normal breathing as if there was nothing wrong with the individual. Narcan has reportedly been used as an antidote in emergency situations helping to immediately counteract potentially fatal health emergencies such as stroke or heart attacks as well.
"Many times the window of effectively using Narcan may only be a few minutes. Since law enforcement's primary existence is to protect and save lives, common sense dictates that our deputies, investigators and corrections officers are trained and equipped with Narcan," said Sheriff Smith. "Patrol deputies and emergency medical service providers are often the first to render first aid to overdose victims. Once the training is completed, each deputy will be able to administer this life-saving drug to those in need – which is crucial in saving lives," he concluded.

WQL Syntax
WQL Basics

WQL, the Wagn Query Language, is a syntax for finding Wagn cards. There's a brief introduction on the WQL card that explains why and where to use it. This card is for folks who want to know how to write WQL.
A WQL statement defines a list of cards by their properties, their relationships to other cards, or both.
WQL for developers
 WQL is employed both by web users (in JSON) and by developers (in Ruby). Developers should have no problem translating the examples from JSON ...

Building Blocks

Wagn's basic building block is the card. WQL's basic building block is the card query.

Card queries identify a list of one or more cards. In the same way that one card can include other cards, one card query can include other card queries.

To conceptualize this, it may help to think of card queries as a noun phrase in a sentence. For example:
Image cards.
That phrase can be nested inside another noun phrase:
Cards that link to Image cards.
You can extend this idea ad nauseam:
Cards that include cards for editors of cards that link to Image cards...
Those phrases give a general sense of what WQL is querying for, but unlike SQL, WQL is not a plaintext phrase. Instead it is expressed as a compound object built from three simple types.
Wql_object_types_image-large-123940
Note that these simple object types are common to a great variety of languages and platforms, and so WQL queries can be easily translated into any such language.

Card queries are "hashes", or unordered lists of key/value pairs. These hashes use five kinds of keys :
 - property - name, content...
 - relationship - link to X, included by Y...
 - arrangement - sort by name, limit to 10...
 - operators - (shortcut for property queries), all the results matching "grantmaker"
 - modifier - add "+address" to the end of each result...
 Card query values can be any of the three object types:
 - simple: for simple matches, card names, etc
 - array: for operators
 - hash: for nested card queries
A +cheat sheet lists these more concisely, but without the explanation given below here:

Properties

Each card query can describe the following card properties:
 - name
 - type
 - content
 - key - canonical name permutation
 - id - unique numerical id that remains the same even when the name is changed

Simple values

Each of these properties can be used as the key in a card query. For example, here is a search for the card named Lewis Hoffman.
{"name": "Lewis Hoffman"}

This card happens to have the id 3, so it can also be found this way:
{"id": 3}
Both the name and id uniquely identify cards in Wagn, so they each return only one item. This type query however will return a list of several items.

{"type": "Fruit"}

Simple values for content can return lists, too. Note that this query will return only cards where the content is exactly and only "Kiwi".
{"content": "Kiwi"}
To narrow searches, you can combine properties:
{"type":"Fruit", "content": "Kiwi"}

Operators
The above examples represent simple searches where the property equals the value. For example, the type equals "Fruit", or the name equals "Lewis Hoffman". WQL allows more flexible ways to constrain properties, via the following operators:
 - match / ~
 - gt / >
 - lt / <
 - eq / = (an explicit form of the default)
 - ne / !=
 - in
In the previous WQL examples, all the card query values are simple strings. With operators, the values are arrays, as follows:
PROPERTY:[OPERATOR, VALUE]
So, the above example of cards with content equalling Kiwi:
{"content": "Kiwi"}
is actually the short form of the following:
{"content": ["eq", "Kiwi"] }
or
{"content": ["=", "Kiwi"] }
The other operators are more interesting. The "in" operator lets you search on multiple values for a given property. This example finds all the cards whose type is either Releases or Point Releases:
{"type": ["in", "Release", "Point Releases"] }

This one gets all the cards which have "Matt" anywhere in their content, even as part of a word (e.g., in "formatting"):
{"content": ["match", "Matt"] }

Operators Shortcut

There is also a shortcut form for operators.
OPERATOR:VALUE
Note that this form does not specify the property, so WQL has to guess, as follows:
 - match - name or content
 - all other properties - just content
 so
{"ne": "Kiwi"}
is equivalent to
{"content": ["ne", "Kiwi"] }

And the following example does a search on both name and content:
{"match": "Matt" }

Relationships
Here's where it gets interesting. Cards in Wagn are related to other cards in two main ways: references (links and inclusions), and compound names). Since these relationships are the source of most structure in Wagn, this is the the element of WQL that adds the most depth.
All of these relationships are specified in WQL by nesting card queries. With the exception of certain "plus" relationships, they all take this form:
RELATIONSHIP: CARD_QUERY

References
Cards linking to or including other cards comprise references. (note -- insert links to feature cards inline here)
WQL supports the following reference keys:
 - link_to - web links
 - linked_to_by
 - include - embedded cards
 - included_by
 - refer_to - web links or embedded cards
 - referred_to_by
The simplest reference relationship is the link_to. Here's how you can use WQL to find all the cards linked to the "John Abbe" card:
{"link_to": "John Abbe"}
Notice that in this case our nested card query is just the card name, "John Abbe". This is a short form of the more explicit expression:
{"link_to": {"name":"John Abbe"} }
Written that way, it looks much more like a nested card query: curly brackets inside curly brackets.

Plus cards
Frankly, if WQL ever gets a little mind-flexing, it's in using plus cards. But that's partly because plus cards are such a flexible way of doing things. If you haven't gotten the basic ideas behind compound names, continuing to read here will likely be very confusing. If you get the gist of plus cards, this will all make sense. But don't feel bad if you have to peek again later.
WQL supports two main plus cards keys:
 - part - value defines cards that are part of a given plus card
 - plus - value defines plus cards of which a given card is part
For each of those, it also supports two side-specific keys:
 - left, right
 - left_plus, right_plus
Part queries are generally pretty simple. Remember, if it has a part, it is always a plus card! The following finds all the cards that have "website" as a part.
{"part": "website"}
"left" and "right" do similar things, but are a bit narrower. This will get all the plus cards of which "email" is the rightmost part:
{"right": "email"}
Plus queries can get a little more involved. This is because, while a card can only ever have two part cards, it can be plussed to countless other cards. And you often want to refer to them in pairs - the other part and the plus card. For example, you might want to find all of the cards connected to "status" (the other part) where the content of X+status (the plus card) is "closed". So the plus card actually takes two queries. Here's the syntax:

"plus":[OTHER_PART, PLUS_CARD]
...and that example we mentioned:
{"plus":["status",{"content":"closed"}]}
In that one, "status" defines the part, and {"content":"closed"} defines the plus card.
If you give the "plus" key just one card query like a normal card query, then it will treat it as the other part.

"plus":OTHER_PART
For example, this finds all the cards connected to status (regardless of the value of the plus cards):
{"plus":"status"}

Users and roles

WQL lets you query the relationship of users (technically, any card with an account) and roles, using these keys:
 - member_of
 - member

For example, this finds all of the cards with accounts who have the GC Staff role:
{"member_of":"GC Staff"}

And this finds all of the roles that Lewis Hoffman has:
{"member":"Lewis

Adding the Parameter Trigger to a SiteSpect component allows you to use parameters in the URL to match on:
- Parameter Name – Enter the name of the Parameter variable you want to match.
- Parameter Value – Enter the value of the Parameter variable you want to match.
Using Parameters is a standard way to generate dynamic content on web pages and web applications. Parameter names and values (variables) are part of the URL or are sent in the request when an HTML form is submitted. For example, consider the following URL: (e.g., /details.asp?id=5783). In this example, id=5783 are the Parameter Name and Value.
The variables submitted by an HTML form are the input, textarea, button, and other HTML form components in the form source. SiteSpect can use these details to help you define whether a page or page component from your website matches.
To match the Parameter Name and Value, you must complete both the Parameter Name and Parameter Value fields. In addition, both fields must match in order for the Trigger to be met. You probably also want to add a URL Trigger as well (even though SiteSpect doesn't require it), so that you don't ask SiteSpect to check every URL for the specified Parameter Name.
For example, to match the product detail pages for a list of SKUs (2435, 4665, and 5783), use the following:
The following image shows the above example that uses both a URL and a Parameter Trigger. Notice the word AND between them on the page. This means that both conditions must be true in order for this set of Triggers to match.
To match when a Parameter is optional, prefix the Parameter Name with a question-mark (?); the match succeeds if either the variable is not in the request at all or it is in the request and the Parameter Value also matches.
To match when the cart page (/cart.asp) is viewed but not when it is updated use the following:
In addition to the Regex option shown in the figure above, Parameter Triggers allow the following matching options:
- Does not contain
- Starts with
- Does not start with
- Ends with
- Does not end with
- Does not match exactly
- Does not match regex

f:RdR≥0 is log-concave if log(f) is concave (and the domain of log(f) is convex).
Theorem: For all σ on the sphere Sd-1 and r∈R, gσ(r) := ∫σ.x=rf(x)dS(x) is a log-concave function of r. (Note: g, as a function of σ and r, is the Radon transform of f.)
Question: does this characterize log-concavity? That is, if gσ(r) is log-concave as a function of r for all σ, is f log-concave?

If I understand the question correctly, I think the answer is no.
Start with the following : if f is the indicator function of the unit ball, then the function g(r) is strictly log-concave close to 0 (this function does not depend on theta).
Now, let h be the indicator function of the ball of radius r<1. Then f-epsilon.h is never log-concave for any epsilon>0, and its Radon transform (which again is independent of theta) remains log-concave is epsilon is small enough.
(this is especially easy to see in dimension 2, in which case the Radon transforms of both f and h are second-degree polynomials on their support)

Great! Such a simple example, too. – Darsh Ranjan Oct 23 '09 at 1:28
The following answer exploits a wider context, where non-negative functions $f$, viewed as densities of absolutely continuous measures $f(x)dx$, are replaced by non-negative measures $\mu$. Because a concave function unbounded from above is $\equiv+\infty$, a log-concave measure $\mu$ is naturally an absolutely continuous measure with log-concave density.
Therefore the Lebesgue measure over the $2$-dimensional sphere $S^2$ is not log-concave over ${\mathbb R}^3$. Nevertheless, its Radon transform in a direction $\sigma$ is $$g_\sigma=2\pi\chi_{(-1,1)},$$ which is log-concave for every $\sigma$.

I like this example a lot, since a uniform measure on a sphere is far from log-concave. (And apparently I had never computed its Radon transform.) – Darsh Ranjan Sep 15 '10 at 0:18
