 What is Medical Negligence?
 No matter how high the standards of care and treatment in our health service, things can sometimes go wrong. Medical negligence is a situation whereby a person receives substandard treatment from medical professionals, either directly causing an injury or making an injury worse. Medical negligence can also happen if a patient has been misdiagnosed, received the wrong treatment, or suffered a mistake made in surgery.
 An action on medical negligence must be able to prove the following elements
 - The health institution owed you a duty of care as a patient.
 - The doctor or health institution acted negligently, breaching that duty of care.
 - Resultant injury to the patient as a result of the breach of duty.
 In practice, medical negligence may occur in any healthcare setting, whether it is due to negligent behaviour on the part of a surgeon, GP, dentist, nurse, clinician, or any other medical professional, environments in which medical malpractice may occur include; GP practice, NHS hospitals, private clinics, care homes, dental practice, and pharmacies. The consequences of these incidents can often have a significant impact on those affected.
 Medical Negligence Claims in Derby
 Pursuing a medical negligence claim in Derby can go a long way in ensuring you are fairly compensated for the negligent medical treatment you have received. In order for your claim to be successful, we need to prove that; the healthcare professional in question failed to adequately carry out their duties and you have suffered avoidable harm as a result of negligence.
 Medical negligence claims are usually subjected to a 3 years' time limit that starts from the moment you first knew you received medical negligent care. A different time limit applies to cases that involve children or individuals that lack the mental capacity to pursue compensation. Our team of medical negligence solicitors can advise you on the specific requirements that apply to your case.

 Types of Medical Negligence Claims
 In Derby, our medical negligence solicitors can help whether you are claiming against the NHS or private practice. Furthermore, whether your treatment was elective or essential, you should never endure financial penalty alone simple because of someone else' mistake. We handle many different types of claims including;
 Birth Injury Compensation Claims
 Medical professionals have a duty of care in which they must take the maximum precautions and necessary action to ensure that a patient's welfare is a priority. If you or your child has been injured or harmed during childbirth due to mistakes or the negligence of a nurse, midwife, obstetrician, surgeon, consultant, or other healthcare providers, you could be entitled to make a birth injury compensation claim.
 Birth injury compensation claims usually have the benefit of funding through legal aid with parents having to pay nothing. Such claims are often high-value claims such as cerebral palsy claims, medical negligence stillbirth, or erb's palsy claims, but claims can be brought for any value. Usually they involve obtaining expert evidence from medical experts such as obstetricians, paediatricians, and neurologist and midwifes. The claim is brought by the child's litigation friend, who is usually one of the child's parents. Any settlement must be approved by a judge to ensure that the child receives the correct level of compensation.
 NHS Claims
 If a medical professional has provided substandard treatment and care to you, which has resulted in an injury or worsening of your medical condition, then, our medical negligence solicitors in Derby can help you make medical negligence compensation Claims against NHS. We can also make claims against private hospitals that have provided substandard care.
 The thought of suing the NHS can be frightening but with us, you have nothing to worry about. Claim against the NHS aims to try and put you back in the same position that you were in had the negligence not occurred. By claiming compensation for NHS clinical negligence, you may also highlight the lack of suitable medical care you received to reduce the risk of the same thing happening to someone else.
 NHS Complaints Procedures:
 If you injury occurred at an NHS hospital you have a right to request a thorough investigation of your complaint. You should also receive information about the outcome and any subsequent action the hospital may take. If your accident was a result of the unlawful treatment you can request a judicial review. It is not necessary to go through NHS formal system before you put forward a hospital injury claim. Nevertheless, it is beneficial if you do as their investigation will give a good understanding of whether your injury was due to negligence and you are therefore eligible to claim compensation.
 While making a compensation claim against the NHS complaint for negligence can help you answer and reassurance that no one needs to go through what you did, it can take several months to resolve. As there is a strict statutory limit of three years in which to submit a request for compensation that may be the time you don't want to waste. It is possible to file a complaint and begin a compensation claim simultaneously. Even if the outcome of the investigation into your complaint is that your care was negligent, the NHS complaint process cannot pay you compensation also, a successful compensation claim wills not necessarily lead to any changes in the hospital practice or discipline of the person responsible.
 Hospital Compensation Claims
 If you believe you have experienced medical negligence that could have been avoided, our panel of medical negligence solicitors in Derby could be of assistance. There is a variety of ways in which you could endure injury or harm in a hospital, and some of the causes could be as a result of the negligence of a medical professional. For example, if you have received an incorrect diagnosis or incorrect medicine for an injury or illness, it could worsen your prior condition.
 In the event this occurs, it is the prime example of neglect action, and you could be eligible for compensation. Depending on the injury or harm these wrongful actions have caused, our panel of medical negligence solicitors in Derby could assist you when claiming for compensation.
 GP Negligence Claims
 General practice claims result from medical negligence by a general practitioner (GP). Our medical negligence solicitors have successfully pursued cases against general practitioners for negligence. Many people are reluctant to sue for medical malpractice against GP through loyalty or concern over future treatment. But the impact of GP negligence and the need for care and financial assistance can be similar to hospital negligence.
 GP Negligence Claims include:
 - Failure to investigate symptoms
 - Failure to refer to a specialist
 - Failure to act on test results
 - Poor record-keeping
 - Inappropriate prescribing of drugs or failure to review medication.
 - Failure to attend a home visit.
 Surgeon Negligence Claims
 Surgical negligence happens when surgeons or other medical professionals make mistakes during your operation leaving you with further problems or injuries. Your surgery and care should meet certain standards, but sometimes mistakes are made.
 If you are wondering whether you can make an unnecessary surgery compensation claim, the simple answer is yes. In a situation where the surgeon or medical professional performed the wrong operation or operated on the wrong body part, you could be eligible to seek unnecessary surgery compensation.
 Cauda Equina Claims
 Cauda Equina syndrome is a serious condition that results in permanent paralysis if not treated promptly and correctly. It is a rare condition that occurs when nerves in the lower spine become compressed and start to swell. As it is a rare condition, it can be difficult to spot. Surgery is needed to treat the condition as soon as possible; otherwise, the consequences could be as severe as permanent paralysis.
 Cauda equina syndrome can be very devastating as it affects the quality of life. It may lead to series of problems like bowel and sexual dysfunction as well as permanent loss of bladder, and the resulting neurological pain that cause patients their relationships. If you have suffered a medical negligence delay in treatment or an inaccurate diagnosis for it, you may be entitled to make a compensation claim. Our cauda equine solicitors can help you secure the compensation you deserve.

I have a project that requires more than 200 damage cases with some cases being coppies of the other one with one compartment les for example. Is there a way to duplicate existing cases or create them in txt or excell and import into Maxsurf to speed up the process?
Yes - there are definitely ways you can simplify this process and take some of the manual work out of it.
There are three main solutions that you could do here:
1) All of the tables in MAXSURF can be copied and pasted into Excel and back again. So one method would be to create your 200 damage cases
- Ctrl-A in the Damage Case window, if you select multiple columns you can add multiple cases at once
- You can copy the Damage Cases Table out to Excel. Shift-Ctrl-C will copy the table with headers.
- In Excel you can use formulas etc to manipulate and create all of your damage combinations
- Use Copy Paste to bring the table back into MAXSURF
2) Use the MAXSURF COM interface to talk directly between Excel VBA and MAXSURF. For a problem like this, I would use the Extents of damage capabilities and over create damage cases, then search and remove duplicates.
- Take a look at the Automation Samples in the install folder (C:\Program Files\Bentley\Offshore\MAXSURF CONNECT Edition V23\Automation Samples) and the Automation manual in Modeler (Help | MAXSURF Modeler Automation Help) to learn about using COM.
- If you have troubles getting started with COM, take a look at MAXSURF Automation COM Troubleshooting - MAXSURF | MOSES | SACS - Wiki - MAXSURF | MOSES | SACS - Bentley Communities
3) The Probabilistic Stability in MAXSURF Ultimate can automatically create all of the damage combinations you require. You will need to set up the regions on the vessel (zones, bulkheads and decks). Once you have the cases you want in the probabilistic damage, you can copy them across to Deterministic Cases using Cases | Copy Prob Dam Cases.My question back to you, is how do you intend to manage and present this many cases to Class? Do you have 200 damage cases x 10 intact cases? If you are dealing with 2000 cases, then you're going to have to be thoughtful about how you will manage the results that you generate.
Thank you. I think using Excel method we cannot copy the Extend of Damage assiged to each case. Correct?
There are 3 intact Load Cases. In total, including intermediate flooding, there will be about 340 damage cases. Still a lot!

What is an Outdoor Computer?
Back to Glossary
What is an Outdoor Computer?
An outdoor computer is designed to withstand the elements—whether it is an outdoor kiosk in a national park that helps tourists or a monitoring system designed to track motorists' license plates. It is generally part of a larger system which may include a display. Many outdoor computers have NEMA 4 enclosures. NEMA (National Electrical Manufacturer's Assocation) sets standards for grades of electrical enclosures and NEMA 4 is rated as watertight. Outdoor computers must have displays that are easily visible in all lighting conditions.
Important Features for an Outdoor Computer
As an outdoor computer is required to operate 24/7, it must be extremely reliable. Many are fanless, as fans are moving parts that can break down, and are passively cooled instead. To protect against dust and water, an outdoor computer is entirely enclosed, which can cause a problem in regards to overheating. An outdoor computer is often subject to power useage limitations and thus must be able to run with less power.

dc.description.abstract Haitians in the United States represent the fourth largest immigrant population from the Caribbean. As in the case of many immigrant populations, Haitian immigrant adaptation has been challenged by social, political and economic factors, and as a result they have had to seek legal, health, and social services. According to the literature, help-seeking behaviors among Haitian immigrants have been associated with traditional indices of socioeconomic status, namely education, occupation, or income. This study takes a more in-depth look at the influence of social class by approaching it as cultural construct in the context of historical patterns of Haitian immigrant incorporation. Most Haitians arrived during the latter half of the 20th century in four successive waves, the 1957, 1970, 1980 and 1991 wave. Each of these waves of Haitian immigration represented a distinct context of departure and social class composition. A qualitative approach was used to obtain rich information on the role of help-seeking in the immigration and incorporation experience of Haitians from the perspective of immigrants who arrived during the four distinct waves of immigration. Individual and focused group interviews were conducted in English, Creole, and French with a purposive and snowball sample of 43 Haitian immigrants currently living in south Florida. Using a grounded theory approach, the analysis generated six categories related to the Haitian immigrant experience: orientation at time of arrival, establishment of social connections, issues of trust, generational effects, cultural constructs of social class, and perspectives on the help-seeking experience. Key findings emerged that identified the importance of social connections in Haitian help-seeking behaviors in the context of a complex Haitian social class construct imbedded in historical, political, and economic positioning. Specifically, across all immigration waves, regardless of social background--from the highly educated doctor who arrived in the 1950s to the rural peasant who arrived in the 1990s--Haitian immigrants identified an individual of Haitian descent residing in the United States on whom they relied for assistance in obtaining resources. This system of social connections reflected the social constructs of class existing in Haiti and remained a significant factor in Haitian immigrants' help-seeking behaviors during resettlement.

Abstract
Carry select adder is the key circuit to achieve high-speed arithmetic operations. This paper presents the Efficient Approximation Carry Select Adder (EA-CSLA) involved in eradicating the carry 1 input path in LSB and attains a reduced amount of delay and hardware simplicity. Furthermore, this EA-CSLA utilizes an algorithmic cell split-up technique which diminishes the propagation delay in all parts of the circuit. The EA carry select adder design includes approximate full adder blocks with less gate count and reduced power consumption. This design is synthesized in Encounter-Cadence 90 nm tool up to GDSII level using Verilog language. Hardware implementation is done and verified through Xilinx System generator and the device Spartan 6 XSLX4T CSG324 is used. The EA carry select adder attains less area, reduced delay, error percentage and delay-entire power product than exact and present adders. The proposed efficient approximation circuit attains a considerable decrease in entire power utilization than existing approximate adder circuits.

Buying guide for best kids' wakeboards
Wakeboarding is to waterskiing what snowboarding is to skiing, so kids are often drawn to its cool image. If your child wants to get into wakeboarding, you'll need to buy an appropriate kids' wakeboard for her to learn and practice on. Although some facilities may rent wakeboards, they don't always have great options for kids. Plus, if your child really takes to the sport, she will eventually want her own wakeboard, anyway, so it works out cheaper in the long run to purchase one, rather than throwing away money on rental fees.
There's plenty to consider when buying a kids' wakeboard, so it can be baffling, especially if you're not a wakeboarder yourself. For starters, the board will need to be an appropriate length for the size of your child and have appropriately sized bindings. You'll also need to consider a range of other factors, such as the rocker, edges, and base style.
Either choose from one of our top kids' wakeboards or read our full guide below to learn more.
Pick a stable and buoyant kids' wakeboard, especially if your child is new to the sport.
Key considerations
Kids' wakeboards are measured in centimeters, and models are often only available in a single length. The exact length varies depending on the brand and model, but they generally measure between 115 and 130 centimeters. As a rule, longer boards are better for kids who weigh more and shorter boards are better for kids who weigh less. So, if your child is of an average weight for their age, younger kids tend to require shorter board than older kids. Slightly longer boards can provide more stability, but this can come at the price of maneuverability, so don't choose any board that's too long for your child's height and weight.
The term "rocker" refers to the way that a wakeboard curves lengthwise, from end to end. The majority of kids' wakeboards feature what is known as "continuous rocker." Wakeboards with continuous rocker have a gradual curve from end to end (whereas those with three-stage rocker have a flat bottom with a steep curve at either end). Continuous rocker gives you a smooth ride and easier maneuverability, which is ideal for the majority of kids. However, you can also find a handful of kids' wakeboards with three-stage rocker, which is better for performing jumps and other tricks. Those with a mild three-stage rocker is preferable, which means the upward curve at each end is slightly less pronounced. This gives the rider a better middle ground between a smooth, stable ride and the ability to catch air with ease.
The base, or underside, of a kids' wakeboard may have various protrusions and dips that impact the performance. Channels are long thin ridges that help to break the surface tension of the water for a smoother riding experience. Concaves are dents that create lift, allowing a wakeboard to almost hover on the water. Again, this gives you a smoother ride, which is excellent for young riders still finding their balance. V-spines are meant to help soften landings after jumps, so they aren't hugely common on wakeboards for kids, unless they're designed for intermediate or advanced junior wakeboarders.
Kids' wakeboard edges can either be rounded or sharp, though the majority are rounded. Wakeboards with rounded edges are slower and have poorer acceleration, but are more stable and therefore excellent for young riders. Boards with sharp edges give better acceleration and overall speed through the water and are great for carving through boat wakes, but are more challenging to master, so they're best left to people with a greater amount of experience on the water.
Bindings are the boots that keep a rider's feet attached to the wakeboard. Although the bulk of kids' wakeboards have bindings included, some don't so you'll need to buy them separately.
This isn't too hard a task, however, since bindings are universal and should fit any standard kids' wakeboard. In addition to choosing bindings of the correct size to fit your child's feet, you'll need to choose between open-toe and closed-toe bindings.
Open-toe bindings are like boots with the toe part cut off. They give great heel-toe response and tend to be included with more affordable kids' wakeboard packages. Although they're not a one-size-fits-all solution, each pair will fit a range of three to four shoe sizes. This will accommodate quickly growing feet and is helpful if you have two or more kids with different sized feet who'll share the same wakeboard.
Closed-toe bindings are more like a complete boot. They give the rider slightly more control over their board, are more padded and comfortable than open-toe options, and keep the feet warmer. While they're not as versatile, size-wise, as open-toe bindings, they're usually designed to fit two shoe sizes, such as 8 to 9 or 11 to 12. Since closed-toe bindings are more expensive to produce, they tend to only be found on high-end kids' wakeboards.
Fins are an optional extra for kids' wakeboards. Although wakeboards function perfectly without them, fins provide more grip to the water's surface and overall stability. As such, fins can be useful for beginner riders, especially long fins, which provide the greatest amount of grip and stability. The downside is that fins make it more difficult to lift out of the water for jumps and tricks, though this isn't a huge issue for kids who are just starting out. Wakeboard fins can either be removable or molded into the body of the board.
Kids' wakeboards with removable fins are more versatile, since you can choose between fins or no fins, and a board with the fin removed is easier to transport and store.
While it doesn't affect performance in any way, kids naturally want wakeboards with cool patterns or designs. You shouldn't choose a kids' wakeboard based on design alone, but if you narrow your options down to a shortlist, you could let your child choose which design he likes best. If you find a kids' wakeboard marked as a "blem" board, this means there's a blemish of some kind in the design. Blem boards are cheaper than equivalent unblemished wakeboards, and sometimes the flaw in the design makes a cool or unique effect that you won't find on other boards of the same make and model.
For your safety
Your child should always wear a life jacket or personal floatation device while wakeboarding, even if she's a strong swimmer.
Kids' wakeboard prices
Kids' wakeboards need all the same components as adult wakeboards, they're just slightly smaller, so they're not much cheaper than their full-sized counterparts.
Inexpensive: You can find a handful of inexpensive kids' wakeboards between $100 and $150. These are either extremely basic models or are blem boards (wakeboards with some kind of blemish, such as a misaligned design).
Mid-range: You can find some excellent kids' wakeboards for $150 to $250, so the majority of buyers don't need to spend more than this.
Expensive: High-end kids' wakeboards cost as much as $250 to $350. These are generally made for bigger kids and young teens or are for more experienced young wakeboarders.
 - Choose a lightweight kids' wakeboard. It shouldn't be too heavy for your child to carry or lift out of the water. Young children might still need some assistance, but kids of around 8 years old and up should be able to handle their board solo.
 - Pick a kids' wakeboard that's suited to your child's experience. The majority of kids' wakeboards are designed for beginners, but you can find some suited to more advanced youngsters.
 - Consider where your child will be wakeboarding. Will she be pulled from a boat or riding at a cable park? Boards designed for park use tend to have more flex and fewer protruding features that could catch on hardware at a cable park.
 - Think about how often your child will use his wakeboard. If you live near a place where you can wakeboard year-round (weather conditions permitting) and your child may advance quickly as a result, it may be worth buying a somewhat higher-end board. On the other hand, a budget wakeboard will suffice if your child will only be riding it for a week or two in the summer.
Twin-tipped wakeboards are the same on board ends, so they can be ridden either way. The majority of modern kids' wakeboards are twin-tipped.
Q. Is wakeboarding safe for children?
There's a risk of injury with any physical activity, so it's impossible to say that wakeboarding is 100% safe for children, but that shouldn't put you off. As long as you teach your child to wakeboard carefully and don't push them to perform above his abilities, there shouldn't be any major issues. It's crucial that your child wears a personal floatation device, and we also highly recommend a protective helmet.
Q. How can I teach my kid to wakeboard?
If you're an experienced wakeboarder, you may be able to teach your child yourself. If you're not, or you just don't feel comfortable teaching, look for a local wakeboard instructor that specializes in working with kids. If you have a local cable park, that's a sensible place to start looking for instructors. Otherwise, ask around


Is there a minimum number of slices when running the N4 Filter
When running the N4 filter as part of my (c#) code, I see that if the input image has only 1 slice I get an error, even if I set ShrinkFactor=1. The error message is:
Exception thrown in SimpleITK N4BiasFieldCorrectionImageFilter_Execute: d:\a\1\sitk-build\itk-prefix\include\itk-5.2\itkImageBase.hxx:165:
ITK ERROR: Image(00000218C297CE70): A spacing of 0 is not allowed: Spacing is [0, 123, 123]
With 2 slices or more, I don't get an error (as long as the shrink factor is 1).
Will be glad for any advice - thank you!
Hello _USER_,
This is strange. When you read a single 3D slice you should have an image of size [x,y,1] and spacing [dx,dy,1.0]. Not sure how a spacing of zero happens in your case.
Possibly a manually created image and not one read from disk?
I get the same error also when trying to run the N4 filter from within the "Slicer" application when input-ing a single dicom slice extracted from a 3d dicom image.
How would it matter if the image is ""manually created" vs read from the disk?
When working with a 3D "slice", with a dimension of size 1, frequently the image needs to be reduced to 2D.
The ExtractImageFilter can be used to convert a 3D image into a 2D image. When the extraction size has a "0" value for a dimension then that dimension will be collapsed and the output dimension reduced by 1.
Also the SimpleITK ImageFilterReader can take an extraction size (and index) to perform the same operation as part of the IO. Here is an example: Advanced Image Reading — SimpleITK 2.0rc2 documentation

The Basics of Applying for Legal Aid in Victoria
Share This Article
Lady JusticeWritten by Amelia Ramsay, Associate, Doogue + George Defence Lawyers
How am I going to afford a lawyer? Can I get legal aid to help me pay for legal representation? These are usually some of the earliest questions that arise when someone has been charged with a criminal offence and needs to go to Court. Here is some information about what you will need to apply for legal aid in Victoria and some information about eligibility.
The Application Process
When you meet with your lawyer, you will need to ask them about applying for legal aid funding for your matter. What this means is that a lawyer will apply to Victoria Legal Aid on your behalf and ask them to fund part or all of your legal fees.
You will first need to complete an application form. Below is a link to the form. You may wish to complete the form in advance of your meeting with a lawyer or simply familiarise yourself with the questions you will be asked.
Lawyers who are familiar with legal aid in Victoria will generally conduct a preliminary means test with you when you first ask for legal aid. The main factor will be how much money you earn. If you earn over the threshold amount or have any large assets then a lawyer will generally advise that it is not worth making an application. However, there are some factors that will tilt the scales in favour of legal aid funding including whether you have children you support, debts, credit cards and loans. If the money going out is more than the money coming in, your lawyer may advise you to make an application.
Once the form is completed and necessary supporting documentation forwarded to Victoria Legal Aid, they will assess your application and provide a response. It may take a couple of weeks to receive a response depending on how complicated your financial situation is.
There are three main factors that determine your eligibility for legal aid assistance.
 1. Your financial situation using a means test;
 2. What your case is about; and
 3. The benefit you are likely to get from your legal case.
The means test considers:
 - money you get from work, Centrelink benefits or other sources
 - if you own anything of value, like a house or a car
 - your weekly living expenses.
The means test also looks at whether you support anyone else, or if they support you. Importantly, your partner's income and assets are usually included when determining whether you are eligible for assistance.
You will need to provide evidence to support what you tell your lawyer about your financial situation. This might include bank statements, loan documents or a rates notice – both yours and your partner's. If you receive a Centrelink benefit, you will be asked to provide authority for Victoria Legal Aid to contact Centrelink and obtain confirmation of your entitlements. The sooner your gather all this material together and provide it to your lawyer, the sooner your application will be processed. If you are able to provide copies during your first meeting with your lawyer, you are already winning.
To prepare, make a list of the income you receive whether it is from paid employment, rent paid to you or dividends from shares. Then make a list of all your expenditure, bills, loan repayments, credit card debts, your child's care or education or support and what you spend on food.
Secondly, what your case is about will determine whether you are eligible for legal aid funding. This includes whether your charges are summary or indictable; what type of charges – such as violence, dishonesty, sexual offences, homicide or terrorism; which Court you are required to attend; and whether you plan to plead guilty or not guilty.
Thirdly, the benefit you are likely to get from your legal case. Victoria Legal Aid wants to know that their financial assistance is going to make a difference to what happens with your matter. This does not mean you have to guarantee that you will win but there needs to be some sort of benefit. That may be shortening the length of a trial or the difference between a sentence involving imprisonment and a community-based order.
The main factor you need to be concerned with is your financial situation and providing evidence or documentation to support what you put in your application form. Your lawyer and Victoria Legal Aid will work out the rest.
If you are granted financial assistance in your matter, you must remember to report any changes to your income or financial situation during the life of your Court matter. In some cases, this could be for a few years. Similar to a Centrelink allowance, if you start earning more money it is likely that your funding will be reduced and if you fail to report the change, you may be asked to repay money down the track.

automatically detects the proper polarity and issues a message if negative polarity data is received:
Reversed FS polarity detected - autocorrecting
The automatic correction applies only to software framing and doesn't help with correlation. For correct results for both software framing and
correlation, you should correct the polarity reversal problem at its source; this is done using negative values for the {{{--gain}}} parameter at
program start time:
./ -a -v 10 -g -50
The second cause of negative correlation peaks is that some protocols (although not P25) make use of both normaland inverted-polarity FS
sequences as a standard part of their processing. Instead of clogging the GUI menu with several choices that are merely inverses of others,
just for the sake of always having positive-peaked correlations, we allow the correlation graph to reflect the natural polarity of the data.
Thus both + and - peaks are shown, allowing quick diagnosis of incorrect hardware polarity (see above), and allowing identification of the
particular family and sub-protocol in use.
Auto Correlation
Also included is Frank's Fast Auto Correlation (fac):
For further details about Fast Auto Correlation refer to Frank's page at
New in late 2013, trunk following for multiple trunked P25 systems was added, supporting the following feature set:
 - Any number of separate trunked systems may be scanned * P25 Phase I (IMBE) voice channel decoding and audio output * Supports LSM/CQPSK systems that require CQPSK (not C4FM) demodulation in addition to C4FM systems * Since CQPSK demodulation is used, LSM simulcast distortion is suppressed (contrary to all current scanners) * In this release, systems and voice channels are scanned sequentially (like trunk tracking scanners) * Alpha tagging for talkgroup ID's * Per-system whitelist (closed group) support: only those talkgroups in the list are scanned * Per-system blacklist support: all talkgroups are scanned, except those listed * Configuration files are TSV (tab-separated); may be edited using spreadsheet software such as Libre office * Talkgroup ID hold: momentary delay after each voice transmission to allow following conversations * Manual talkgroup ID hold: click to pause, remains on current talkgroup until resumed * Manual lockout: click to lock out current talkgroup * All of the signal scope functions (see above) are live and may be selected in real time * Traffic history including list of active voice channels, key trunk control channel data, etc. * Hardware support provided by gr-osmosdr including usrp/uhd, hackrf, and (in theory) RTL DVB-T based sticks etc.
The trunking code has not yet been merged into the master branch. In the meantime after cloning the
repository you can issue this command to switch to the proper code branch:
git checkout max-trunking-update2
(you must first cd to the top level op25 project directory)
Trunking Configuration
The primary configuration file trunk.tsv contains one line (or spreadsheet row) per trunked system
to be monitored. The file need not be named {{{trunk.tsv}}}; any name of your choice may be used, and is specified using the -T option. The file contains the following information:
 - NAC: This is used as the "primary key" to tell different systems apart. * Sysname: The name of the system (for display purposes) * Control Channel List: comma-separated list of trunk control channels. * Offset: if using a SDR with GPSDO, this value is not needed and should be set to zero. Used for frequency drift correction. The values shown are almost certainly incorrect for your system; the frequency error (drift) is different for every oscillator and is also almost always temperature dependent. You can use the other functions of such as the eye diagram to determine the error (difference between nominal frequency and received frequency). * Modulation: C4FM or CQPSK * TGID Tags File: specifies the name of a TSV file for this system, containing alpha talkgroup ID tags * Whitelist: if set, the system is a "closed" system; only listed TGID's will be included * Blacklist: excludes listed TGID's * Center Frequency: set this to (Highest-Frequency-Channel - Lowest-Frequency-Channel) / 2 - and make sure it's at least (say) 50 KHz away from any active channel
Note: the first line of the file containing the field names must not be changed.
Software Tuning Mode
A new feature which helps to workaround a current problem with the RTL-SDR, the software Local Oscillator allows software tuning within the passband whose width is equal to the current sampling rate (--sample-rate) parameter. Currently this seems to be limited to 2.56 MHz.
To use this mode
 - find the lowest (F1) and highest frequencies (F2) in the system * You will have to adjust F1 and F2 such that (F2-F1) is less than the selected sample rate * RTL SDR apparently supports rates higher than 2.56 MHz but there are reported problems * Find the center frequency = F1 plus one-half of (F2-F1) * Adjust the center frequency by a few tens of KHz if necessary to ensure it does not coincide with any of the system channel frequencies, to avoid DC offset * The higher the sample rate, the more CPU is used * If the system contains frequencies outside of the band from F1 to F2, tuning error messages will be issued but the remaining channels should still work * The "Center Frequency" is defined as a new column in the trunking TSV file (added to the right of the Blacklist column after the example shown below was created).
TSV Files
Use the following command to open a TSV file for editing:
oocalc trunk.tsv
Here are the options used when opening the file
Talkgroup ID Alpha Tags
There is usually a separate tags file for each system, although sometimes multiple systems can share a common set of tags. The talkgroup ID (first column in each row) is in decimal (base 10).
Trunked Traffic
Use the -2 command line option to enable Phase 2 TDMA. Unlike in P25 Phase 1 FDMA, TDMA voice channels cannot be tuned manually. TDMA voice channels are always operated under control of a trunked system having a 9,600 FDMA trunking control channel. Accordingly you must establish a trunking definition for your system as detailed above; no other special setup is required.
This records in parallel all talkgroup activity to.WAV files (except talkgroups excluded via the white list and black lists system). The band of frequencies that can be spanned is equal to the SDR sampling rate, e.g., 2.4 MHz or so if using an RTL, wider in other devices (8 MHz in HackRF, for example). Only one SDR is needed though, no matter how many talkgroups are to be logged (as long as these frequency limits are observed). The option is enabled via the "-L n" command line parameter (where n is an int specifying the number of logfile workers - one plus the number of concurrent talkgroups to be logged). Note that in TDMA one worker is required per active frequency (not per talkgroup). The wider the spectrum, and the more workers defined, the higher the CPU usage...
The logging option must be used with the -T option, and (in this version of only the first data row of the trunking TSV file is utilized - subsequent rows are not used.
Possibly bugs exist, here are a few of the known ones as of this writing
 - Symbol filters totally brain damaged (need separate filters for each speed) * When switching modes using the notebook tabs, leftover data from before may appear momentarily * Highest and lowest speeds are not well tuned resulting either in sluggish updates or CPU exhaustion * Currently ignores all except first frequency in list of trunk control frequencies * The selected tab may override the mode (C4FM vs. CQPSK); be sure to select "constellation" to enable CQPSK mode
I ripped off the "tabbed notebook" theme (and code) from Stevie; it already had the spectrum, baseband, and decoded symbol displays. I added the data scope, constellation scope, cross correlation, and trunk tracking features.
The Fast Auto Correlation (fac) code came from Radiorausch.
Special thanks to Mossmann for leaving one commented-out "print" statement in Of course it was tempting to wonder "what would happen" if that statement were un-commented. The final result? The cross-correlation feature.
Special thanks also to GPL, for encouraging these mashups.

Doll Distance Healing Spell
Because once upon a time Chinese women wouldn't undress before a doctor (even today a visit to a traditional Chinese physician rarely involves undressing), beautiful, anatomically correct naked dolls were carved from ivory. These dolls served as a communications device between doctor and patient; pain, illness, affliction, and methods of healing could be demonstrated on the doll w ith minimum embarrassment.
These dolls are still sometimes found in antique shops; reproductions are also available. Use this type of doll or craft or use a less realistic one to perform magical distance healing.
1. Hold the doll in your hands to charge it with your intentions and healing energy.
2. Murmur healing incantations and blessings over the doll.
3. Massage the doll with blended castor and olive oils, scented with essential oil of lavender.
4. Place the doll within a ring of burning healing candles.
5. Repeat as needed until the healing is complete.

FPATH should be set to the directory in which you will have your

to mention that it exists, and the shell will search your FPATH for
the function definition when it is needed (executed/called). Makes

 FPATH function calls in ksh script
In article <36355630.D1F19...@deepak.net>,
One should point out that the file name must match the function
name. FPATH processing occurs after PATH processing. If no match
fo a command has been found after PATH processing, the FPATH is
consulted. If a readable (not necessarily executable) file is
located in the FPATH whose name matches the command name, the
file will be sourced and then the command executed as a
function. So the file must contain the function definition:
function tt
{
...
Be careful what goes in the file and be very careful about the file's
and the directory's permissions. For instance, you can:
echo "Loading tt"
function tt
{
...
You can even create local functions that are used by the function you call:
################ file tt ################
function tt
{
echo tt start
tt_1
tt_2
echo tt end
unset -f tt tt_1 tt_2
function tt_1
{
echo tt_1 start
function tt_2
{
echo tt_2 start
################ file tt ################

Expressive Activity on Campus
What is Texas Senate Bill 18?
The 86th Texas Legislature (2019) passed Senate Bill 18, codified in Education Code § 51.9315, Protected
Expression on Campus.
The law defines terms; discusses the importance of freedom of speech and expression on campus; and
provides that reasonable time, place, and manner restrictions are still authorized, including but not limited
to, a faculty member's ability to maintain safety and order in a classroom.
Read Texas Senate Bill 18
What Does This Law Require?
The law requires each institution of higher education to adopt a policy detailing student's rights
and responsibilities regarding expressive activities at the college. The policy MUST ALLOW:
 1. "Any person" to engage in expressive activity on campus.
 2. Student organizations and faculty to invite speakers.
 3. A method for filing complaints about non-compliance with the law and disciplinary procedures for individuals (students and employees) violating this law.
 4. The Board of Trustees to approve the new policy before it takes effect.
How Does Senate Bill 18 Benefit Students?
 1. Colleges may not take action against student organizations based on their viewpoints and the expressive activities for which they engage.
 2. Colleges can only consider four factors when determining whether to permit a speaker on campus and the appropriate security fee-venue and size of the crowd, need for security, necessary accommodations, and history of rule compliance by the group or individual inviting the speaker—but not the anticipated controversy related to the appearance.

Godbee from Olive's Ocean is Martha's grandmother. They don't know one another that well so when she goes to visit Godbee, her grandmother suggests that each day they are together that they tell one thing about themselves to each other. Martha agrees and discovers that they have a lot in common. She also appreciates the fact that her grandmother seems to 'get' her and doesn't ridicule the notion that she wants to be a writer. Godbee is a good study of human nature and is easier with the rules than Martha's parents.

American Crested
American Crested Breed Profile
Fur Short, smooth, close, thick
Rosettes None
Characteristics White crown
Lifespan 4-6 years
Suitable for Beginners
Breed Characteristics
The American Crested is completely one color - apart from its characteristic white crest on its head! This is like a little white crown created by the whorl. This makes it easy to tell this animal apart from other guinea pigs, especially for beginners. The crown sometimes makes these little pets look angry or indignant. But they're just as peaceful and funny as the rest of them. The rest of the American Crested's short, soft fur is usually golden brown, red or black. It doesn't have any markings or patterns to its fur.
Guinea Pigs for First-Timers
American Crested guinea pigs are among the easiest guinea pigs to keep. You could even call them "beginner guinea pigs". Still, inexperienced pet owners should get plenty of information and get hold of a guinea pig guide. Just like all guinea pigs, the American Crested is on the shy side.
How can you tell the American Crested and the English Crested apart?
Both have a crest on their heads but only the American Crested's is always white. In the English Crested, this is always the same color as the rest of its coat. If they didn't have this tuft, they'd just be completely normal American guinea pigs.
American Crested Guinea Pig American Crested Guinea Pig - Photo: Kirill Kurashov/Shutterstock
The white crest isn't easy to breed, as the babies of two American Crested guinea pigs won't always have the same markings, e.g. they might have additional white patches.
Fur Care
Short-haired guinea pigs can mostly keep themselves clean as they wash themselves with their little feet. Their fur should therefore only be cleaned when the American Crested doesn't keep up its hygiene duties. You should use a plastic brush for this. Knots can't always be prevented, and should be carefully cut out with scissors. It's also important to regularly check their ears, eyes and nails - just like with any guinea pig.
Just like all guinea pigs, the American Crested needs a combination of fresh hay, grasses, herbs, vegetables, fruit, seeds and twigs. They also need fresh water daily.
Did You Know?
A "crest" is a crown or tuft.

Using a fixed attenuator can reduce a direct signal so that it is heard by the radios without distortion.

 1. The polarities of the cables must match screenshot
 2. Begin by connecting the SMA Female end of the fixed attenuator to the SMA adapter. screenshot
 3. We see that the exposed end of the sma_adapter is RP-SMA-Male. RP means Reverse Polarity. screenshot
 4. Connect the attached attenuator and adapter to the LANforge radio antenna. This exposes the SMA Male end of the attenuator. Your DUT might not have adequate space to mount a fixed attenuator to it, so we suggested connecting it to the LANforge. screenshot
 5. The polarities of the cable end must match the end of the fixed attenuator. The cable end for this side is SMA-Female. screenshot
 6. See how the cable connected to the lanforge has both the adapter and the attenuator. It should be safe to use the attenuator and adapter anywhere along a SMA path. screenshot
 7. Connect the other end of the cable to the Device Under Test (DUT). Your DUT might use different antennas so you might need to use another adapter. screenshot
 8. We have connected one antenna of our DUT to the one antenna of our LANforge. Repeat this for multiple antennas. screenshot

Automation with dsClient Terminal
One of the automation options provided by dsTest is controlling dsClient Terminal with scripts. This allows you to develop automation scripts in the tool of your choice and embed dsClient command execution. You can read more about all of the features provided for test automation in Automated Testing Support.
You'll find examples using several scripting languages in /usr/local/devsol/dsTest/lib/.
The –c option enables you to specify a command as part of invoking dsClient:
dsClient -c
In this usage dsClient executes the specified command, prints any response received from dsTest to standard out and then exits.
Note that the dsTest commands must be enclosed in quotes if there is a space character in the command.
dsClient -c "hlr:example_hlr start"
starts the HLR Node named example_hlr
dsClient -c "wait 1000"
causes the a wait period of one second
dsClient -c "hlr:example_hlr action event::cancel rate::10"
starts a cancel event at the rate of 10 events per-second on the HLR node example_hlr
The following examples are commands using TCL exec:
The examples below use the variable $dsClient, which equates to /usr/local/devsol/bin/dsClient.
exec $dsClient -d -c " start"
sends a start command to the node node_name on the dsTest server at IP_address
exec $dsClient -d -c "source ConfigFile.xml"
sources the file ConfigFile.xml on the dsTest server at IP_address
exec $dsClient -d -c "diameter socket ip_address "
sets the diameter socket IP address to IP_Address_2 on the node named Node_Name on the dsTest server at IP_Address

Religion and National Identity in Eastern Europe and Eurasia
The Pew Research Center recently conducted a survey on the relationship between religious and national identity in Eastern European and Eurasian countries, noting changes in the way that religious identification has influenced national identity since the fall of atheist fundamentalism with the USSR. For religious and belief minorities—now including atheists—the relationship can be a troubling one, particularly as resurgent nationalism in the region has been accompanied by xenophobia and religious discrimination.
Here are highlights from the findings:
70% (Orthodox-majority) / 57% (Catholic-majority)
Average among countries who believe majority religious identity is very or somewhat important to national identity
Percentage within Orthodox-majority countries who believe Orthodox religious identity is very or somewhat important to national identity
Percentage within Catholic-majority countries who believe Catholic religious identity is very or somewhat important to national identity

What is Civil Society?
Definition of a CSO
The concepts of 'civil society' and 'civil society organisation' are still debated but we use these terms as they are most widely understood internationally. Other common terms are; nonprofit organisation, charity, NGO, third sector, voluntary sector and so on.
The Centre for Civil Society at John Hopkins University defines a civil society organisation as:
"Any organisation whether formal or informal, that are not part of the apparatus of government, that do not distribute profits to their directors or operators, that are self-governing, and in which participation is a matter of free choice. Both member-serving and public-serving organisations are included. Embraced within this definition, therefore, are private, not-for-profit health providers, schools, advocacy groups, social service agencies, anti-poverty groups, development agencies, professional associations, community-based organisations, unions, religious bodies, recreation organisations, cultural institutions and many more."

text: This paper presents a modified impulse controller that is used to improve the velocity tracking of a servomechanism having characteristics of high nonlinear friction. A hybrid control scheme consisting of a conventional PID part and an impulsive part is used as a basis to the modified controller. This has previously been used to improve the position and velocity tracking of robot manipulators at very low velocities. Experiments show that at higher velocities the improved performance of the impulse part of the hybrid controller diminishes and can be counterproductive at these speeds when compared to conventional PID control alone. The modified hybrid impulse controller in this paper uses a mathematical function to transition the amount of torque from an impulse as a function of velocity to achieve more precise tracking across a range of velocities.

Food Safety Course in Alberta
The Alberta Food Regulation provides all the detailed requirements for a food premise to ensure prevention of health hazards. It outlines the minimum requirements pertaining to maintenance, temperature control, sanitizing, pest control, food handler hygiene and the various daily tasks that food handlers are involved.
The Alberta Food Regulation also highlights the requirement for mandatory certification of food handlers and is used by Public Health Inspectors during inspection.
Who Should Take This Food Handler Certificate Course In Alberta?
In Alberta, every operator of a food service establishment, and at least one employee on every shift, must hold a Food Handler Certificate.
Probe It Food Safety provides an accepted Food Handlers Certificate and is government approved. Our Food Handler Certificate will be valid for 5 years in Alberta and across Canada.

Alberta Food safety Inspections
A combination of provincial governments, municipalities and regional health authorities monitor food safety across Alberta. You must be ready for health inspector to come on-site to your business before you open, and within every four to six month timespan after that.
Health Inspectors will need to see your Alberta Food Safe Certificates and your Food Safety Plan during inspections.
They additionally have the authority to:
What does the Alberta Regulation say about Food Handlers Certificate?
If there are 5 or fewer food handlers working in the food premise, then there must be at least one person who has their food handler certificate. If there are 6 or more food handlers working in the food premise, then a manager or supervisor must have their food handler certificate and must be present on-site.
What Should I Do?
EXPERT ADVICE: Get yourself and your entire staff certified. This is the top recommendation by health inspectors and the health department. Completing a Food Handler Certification course helps ensure you or your business is never the cause of food-borne illnesses.

Osmotic Shock
Osmotic shock is a process of rapidly changing the concentration of solutes outside of a cell in order to disrupt the cell's structure and induce various changes in the cellular environment. The osmotic shock technique is a powerful tool used in biochemistry, molecular biology and cell biology to study the interaction of molecules and cells with the environment. It is used to identify and characterize proteins and their function and can also be used to observe the changes in gene expression, cell metabolism and cellular regeneration. Osmotic shock can also be used to rapidly prepare proteins for crystallographic analysis, prepare cells for optimal staining, and in cell engineering and gene editing to induce mutation in genes.

Tower Defense
aka: Tower Defence
Go To
Tower defense games are a sub-genre of strategy games where you defend a building from monsters and/or other enemies using other buildings, sometimes with a unit or two to back you up. Similar to Multi-Mook Melee, Tower Defense games have you facing wave upon wave of "creeps"note until a given number reach their goal, or you survive the final wave.
Creeps will move along the path that is either:
 - Static: Creeps move along the same paths.
 - Dynamic: The placement of towers will determine the paths which creeps move along. Dynamic paths usually create a strategy called "mazing", allowing the player to make long, winding paths that force the enemy to take the longest possible route to their destination, all the while being blasted by the towers herding them.
A typical Tower Defense game will have:
 - Creeps that behave differently. Some are Fragile Speedsters or Mighty Glaciers, some are Asteroids Monsters, others can fly over towers and bypass most of your defenses, etc.
 - "Boss" creeps on certain waves.
 - A strategy that requires a balance of producing more towers and upgrading existing ones. More important in dynamic path type ones.
 - Balance between different towers. Ideally, none of the tower types should be completely useless.
 - Commonly, a "survival" mode in which each level retains the towers you built in the previous level and/or the enemies get tougher as the game progresses instead of simply increasing in number.
 - Hold the Line as its core element.
As of lately, a trend in this genre has started to develop where the games will feature the ability for the player to be the attacking force pitted against the towers. This sub-genre within the Tower Defense genre has been called "Reverse Tower Defense", "Tower Attack", and "Tower Offense". Some games in the genre get to the point of devoting themselves entirely to this, eschewing the defense element altogether. It is also the basis of the Multiplayer Online Battle Arena, with Defense of the Ancients being basically born as a 5 vs 5 reverse tower defense using Warcraft 3's hero mechanics.
Another form of Tower Defense features a single tower or gate on one side of the screen, which is then beset by the Creeps marching forth to destroy it. The player is usually given one or more weapons directly controlled by them, while upgrades may add automatic defenses and defenders.
The third form of defense game is the "Tug-of-War"/Beam-O-War style. In which there are two towers or bases at each end of one or more paths, and the player(s) and AI send different units down the path to attack the enemy base(s). Opposing units that meet will fight each other, and the object is to push the enemy force back to their own side and destroy their base(s).
Examples of Tower Defense as a Full Game:
 - Castle Panic: A board game tower defense game. Can be played solo or co-op.
Examples of Tower Defense as a Mini-Game:
 - Some user-created maps for other Real-Time Strategy games follow this style.
 - Age of Empires II: Age Of Kings (and the expansion pack Conquerors) had a "Wonder Race" game type, in which you are required to build a wonder and defend it for 200 years before your opponent(s).
 - "Red's Mighty Feathers" from Angry Birds adapts the Angry Birds formula for the Tower Defense genre. The pigs are advancing upon the egg using their vehicles, and the Red Bird must protect the egg by popping the pigs with his new homing power.
 - Animal Jam has "Pest Control", in which the player uses biological pest controlnote to prevent the pestsnote from reaching the end of the static path.
 - Assassin's Creed: Revelations had Den Defenses, where Templar soldiers assault one of dens controlled by the Assassins. Ezio is responsible for organizing the defense by placing barricades in the streets and various types of Assassins on the rooftops firing down upon them.
 - Blizzard Entertainment:
 - The Trope Maker was the various user-made defense maps in StarCraft - "Sunken D," "Turret D," "Stacked Photon D," etc. The Starcraft editor did not allow you to create new units or buildings, so they usually made much more use of mobile units than most current Tower Defenses. See, for example, this video of "Weed D," which is recognizably a fixed-path Tower Defense game except that the "towers" being "built" are Mutalisks.
 - The Trope Codifier was Tower Defense maps for Warcraft III. The editor was much more sophisticated than Starcraft's, allowing for greater variety in attack buildings. Multiple subgenres appeared and proliferated, such as the "Wintermaul" clones. By the time the Frozen Throne expansion came out, Blizzard included an official Tower Defense map as an Alliance campaign bonus level.
 - Civilization IV came with a "Civ Defense" mod, in which one starts with a certain number of cities, spends money (rather than the usual "hammers") to add to their fortifications and defenses, and then horde after horde of barbarians come at you.
 - Club Penguin had "System Defender", in which the player has to set up cannons to stop the Mecha-Mook from destroying the EPF Mainframe computer. Interestingly, while threats could be simulated by all players, there would be live threats that could be handled by members only.
 - The action-RPG CrossCode had 2 connected sidequests (+ a challenge quest for each) in the city of Basin Keep that were basically a tower defense minigame on top of the normal combat. The heroine Lea has to defend a point against waves of enemies with the help of turrets, which can be activated in neutral and elemental modes. Additionally, all the enemies have strong shields that only the turrets in the (otherwise weaker) neutral mode can break.
 - "Englos Defense", a bonus level in DROD: The Second Sky.
 - Final Fantasy VI and Final Fantasy VII are probably the Ur Examples:
 - Final Fantasy VI has an event similar to this halfway through the first part of the game; there's a difference in that you battle the mooks using the standard battle system, but otherwise the execution is the same.
 - The Fort Condor mini-game in Final Fantasy VII is essentially a tower defense game.
 - Version 1.3 of Genshin Impact has the "Theater Mechanicus" event, in which you can plant different kinds of "towers" to defeat waves of incoming enemies. The enemies won't attack you or the towers, but will keep walking towards the "exit" which you have to defend. You can attack the enemies, but they'll take no damage from your attacks, nor will your energy get charged; however, you can still exploit elemental effects and reactions to support your towers. This can also be played with another player. Completing a level unlocks materials you can use to upgrade the towers, as well as higher difficulties.
 - The Iron Grip series is part Tower Defense and part FPS.
 - A variation of this appears in Legion's Loyalty Mission in Mass Effect 2, where Mooks must march towards you in a fixed path while you have Legion hack a few turrets around the area to shoot at them. Alternatively, you can just cap them yourself.
 - Monster Hunter: Rise has Rampage quests where you take up arms in a stronghold where you can set up armaments like ballistas, cannons, and bombs; some of these installations are controlled by NPCs, while others are controlled by the player(s). Your goal is to fend off an onslaught of monsters who are trying to destroy a heavily fortified gate on the far end of the map. As you fulfill side objectives and defeat monsters, more types of "towers" become available.
 - Path of Exile's Blight expansion introduced missions where players had to defend a purifying device from monsters advancing over multiple lanes. While particularly powerful characters can clear them without assistance, usually you'd have to construct towers to damage, debuff and/or stall enemies. Blighted maps take it further, turning an entire location into a huge defense mission with over a dozen lanes and several unique bosses.
 - Phantasy Star Online 2 has two variants of this.
 - The first is Mining Base, Emergency Quests where players are tasked with protecting towers against increasingly powerful and aggressive waves of Darkers while collecting crystals to unlock new weapons and defensive measures.
 - The second is Buster Quests, introduced in Episode 5. The first half of these quests entail protecting towers from an onslaught of enemies, albeit with a wider array of weapons and defensive measures available from the start. The players are also tasked with raiding an enemy castle and destroying the boss therein.
 - Progressbar 95 has the Progress Defender minigame, in which the bar can only be moved on the x-axis and you have to protect it from red segments and Clippy that approach it. You need to place one of three buildings on three lanes with five spots each. They are Firewalls which stop Red Segments but are damaged by Clippy, Antiviruses that shoot at Clippy but have to be updated once in a while, and Generators that make 5% progress every couple of seconds. Each building costs 5% progress and you must reach 100% to win. It is intended to be slightly harder than the main game, so you get 1.25x for completing levels in

PETA has moved on from criticizing the fly-swatting Obama to taking on the obese.
Its latest billboard features a caricature of a blubbery woman in a bikini, with the wording: "Save the Whales – Lose the Blubber: Go Vegetarian.''
The Obesity Action Coalition, which proclaims itself as "the only obesity individual-focused organization'' - has taken offense.
It has encouraged its members to contact PETA. "Let PETA know the struggles faced by the obese are real, just as the struggles that are faced by animals who are victims or cruelty are real.''
In a press release, the OAC said: "With more than 93 million Americans affected by obesity, this type of unacceptable stigmatization of obese/overweight individuals has no place in today's society. Obese individuals are often stigmatized or discriminated against in a variety of areas, such as employment, school, healthcare and much more. The OAC finds obesity stigma to be extremely detrimental to the obese population as it furthers the all-too-frequent negative perceptions of the obese. The OAC demands PETA immediately end the campaign and remove the billboard from the public domain and the PETA Web site.''
I also might point out that manatees, among our most blubbery creatures, are vegetarians.

Transitioning to Trauma Program Manager: Growing from Clinical Expert to Trauma Program Management (live webinar)
Transitioning to Trauma Program Manager: Growing from Clinical Expert to Trauma Program Management
The Trauma Program Manager is the cornerstone of the trauma center and in a distinct position from other managers in the hospital. They are often put in the position of trauma program manager (TPM) because of their clinical expertise but receive little to no handover or orientation and often fill a position that has been vacant for some time. In many cases, this exceptional bedside nurse is transitioning to a management position for the first time. Although they may have been an expert in their clinical role, they are beginning a new cycle as a novice in this new role. During this webinar, we will explore the challenges of this transition and identify the key attributes that will lead to success.
Attendees will be able to:
 1. Describe the challenges of transitioning from bedside nurse to management of the multiple pieces of a trauma program.
 2. Identify the stages and process of moving from novice to expert in a circular versus linear manner while managing the numerous aspects of an efficient trauma program.
 3. Recognize the attributes of effective and successful trauma program managers as leaders.

Calculate bits and bytes
Discussion in 'Questions (Windows Mobile)' started by schimanski, Aug 29, 2008.

 Hello!
 I need to decode a UKSP-String (Ultra Short (kurz) String Police) for my application. The UKSP-String is a String with crlf+18 Bytes+crlf. Each Byte will save informations. For example: the first Byte is caluculated with:
 Byte1=CHR(128+(County*8)+(bit.AND(District,28))/4))
 County and District are decimal values. Now my question: Is there a way to decode the Byte1 in the Country and District? My first problem is to reverse the bitwise operation "bit.AND(District,28)".
 Thanks for answer...

 I think this does it. What is happening is that the 128 is packing to make the code printable, or at least non-zero. County is multiplied by 8 which effectively left shifts it three binary places leaving the values 0 to 7 free for the District. The District number is ANDed with binary 11100 (28) then divided by 4 which effectively right shifts the result to the the bottom three bit positions left clear by moving County left. As a result the decoded County can have any value but the decoded District can only have one of the eight values 0,4,8,12,16,20,24,28 or 0 to 7 if you don't undo the original divide by 4.
 Code:
 Sub Globals

 Dim County

 Dim District
 End Sub
 Sub App_Start
 Decode(
 128 + 3 * 8 + 12 /4)
 msg =
 "County - " & County & CRLF
 msg = msg &
 "District - " & District

 Msgbox(msg)
 End Sub
 Sub Decode(code)
 code = code -
 128
 District =
 4 * (code Mod 8' bottom three bits
 County = Int(Code / 8)
 End Sub

 Many thanks
 Thanks agraham for the fast answer!
 I think, that I begin to understand it.
 I will try now something with your code...
