A computer system designed to analyse the motion of traffic has found a new role: tracking the movement of sperm to help in the treatment of male infertility.
Geoff Hobson developed the traffic tracking system while a professor at the University of Sheffield. He collaborated with Bill Holt of the Institute of Zoology in London to produce the Hobson Sperm Tracker which is now being sold by Hobson's Sheffield-based company, Sense and Vision Electronic Systems.
The sperm tracker can analyse live sperm via a video camera attached to a microscope, which is trained on a sample of semen. Alternatively, video recordings of sperm movement can be fed straight into the system's computer.
The sperms' motion is detected by comparing each frame of the video image with the previous one and registering the difference. The system displays the results as colour tracks superimposed over the microscope image. Information on eight aspects...

Why there's Rainbow Beach sand sitting on the moon
WE ALL love to walk along the fine sands of Rainbow Beach, but not many people would know the sand's link to Neil Armstrong's historic first ever moon walk 50 years ago.
Rutile extracted from Cooloola Coast sand deposits back in the '60s had gone into the manufacture of titanium used on the Apollo 11 space craft.
In fact the spindly legs of the lunar module made from our Wide Bay sand, were the first part of the craft to touch the moon and are still up there today.
At the time about 90 per cent of the world's titanium came from Australia.
Queensland Titanium Mines Pty Ltd at Rainbow Beach filled a large part of the export market ensuring our place in space history.
Titanium made from the Wide Bay's sand was used to build the Apollo 11 command ship Columbia, its lunar module lander Eagle and the Saturn five rocket that put the men into orbit.
The space capsules heat shield that protected the craft during re-entry into the earth's atmosphere was also made of titanium alloys.
Sand mining ceased at Rainbow Beach in the mid-1970s due to environmental concerns.


It depends.
Your youth record does NOT automatically disappear when you turn 18. Instead, the law sets out a period in which the record is open and can be accessed by people that are authorized by the law, like the Crown Attorney, before it is sealed. The relevant law is called the Youth Criminal Justice Act
How long your record will lasts will depend on:
 - 1. The seriousness of the crime you committed
 - 2. The sentence you were given, AND
 - 3. Whether you commit another crime while you still have an open youth record for a previous crime.
If you get an Absolute Discharge, then your record for this offence will be open for one year after being found guilty of the offence. If you receive a conditional discharge, then your record for this offence will be open for three years after being found guilty. If you get EJS (extrajudicial sanctions) then this will be on your record for two years from the date you agree to do EJS.
For more serious sentences (like probation and custody), the length of time your record is open depends on the seriousness of the crime. For instance, if you were found guilty of a summary conviction offence, which is a lower level offence, then your record will be open for three years after you complete your sentence. But if you are found guilty of a more serious offence, known as an indictable offence, your record will be open five years after your sentence is completed.
And if you committed a really serious offence, like murder, manslaugher, attempted murder or aggravated sexual assault, your record may be open indefinitely.
If you have an open youth record and then are found guilty of a new crime while charged as a youth, then the time period starts fresh: this means that the original offences will be open until the retention period for the new offences is complete.
Finally, if you have a youth record that is still open when you turn 18, and you commit another offence before it is sealed, your youth record will become part of your permanent adult record.

A discovery of ancient seeds is such a find. Archaeologists unearthed a clay pot in 2008 on the Menominee Reservation in Wisconsin, which doesn't seem like much of an earth-shattering discovery.
However, when they opened the pot, they discovered seeds — seeds that were determined to be a form of squash thought to have been extinct for 800 years.
The seeds seemed perfectly preserved in the clay pot.
Students in Winnipeg, Canada, didn't let the discovery end there. They decided to see what would happen if they planted the seeds. Surprisingly, from the seeds sprouted species of squash thought to be extinct.
The squash was named "Gete-okosomin," which means "big old squash" in Menominee.
And big it is. The largest squash grown from the batch of seeds measured 3 feet long and weighed in at 18 pounds, according to My Modern Met.
The students are working to cultivate the seeds so this plant won't become extinct again.
This is truly an amazing discovery because it sheds light on on our ancestors and how they lived.

As per Thailand's national weather archives, snowfall was recorded in Chiang Rai in 1955.
Does Thailand ever get cold?
What's The Coldest It Gets In Thailand? The average air temperature in Thailand in winter is 27 °C (80.6 °F), but occasionally it might drop below freezing. Those occasions are more likely to happen in Northern-Thailand where the temperature might drop enough to form frost.
Does Chiang Mai have snow?
When can you find snow in Chiang Mai? Weather stations report no annual snow.
Whats the coldest its been in Thailand?
The coldest temperature ever recorded in Bangkok was 50 degrees Fahrenheit (10 degrees Celsius), and that was back in 1955. 1 Cool season temperatures are generally around 80 degrees Fahrenheit (27 degrees Celsius), so it's no surprise that it's such a favorite time to visit.

Need this equivalent outcome on PostgreSQL on this MySQL query.
select id, 'ID1' from supportContacts
Idea is to Join a Column with table name and row values equals to ID1.
Executing the same query on PostgreSQL gives the desired row values but gives?column? uknown as column name.
Which PostgreSQL query will give the exact output?

Add a column alias to assign a name of your choosing. Else the system applies defaults.
To assign a type, use an explicit cast. I cast to text here:
SELECT id, 'ID1'::text AS "ID1" FROM supportContacts
Or use the SQL standard cast() to make it portable:
SELECT id, cast('ID1' AS varchar) AS "ID1" FROM "supportContacts"
For portability, make sure that MySQL runs with SET sql_mode = 'ANSI'.
Also, unquoted CaMeL-case names like supportContacts are cast to lower case in PostgreSQL. Use "supportContacts" or supportcontacts depending on the actual table name.
Start by reading the excellent manual here for basics about identifiers.

I have this SWT widget (color picker) with label:
enter image description here
By pressing the star button, color picker field transforms into code field, where you can write code:
enter image description here
I am not satisfied with this "star button", which is used to change input mode for color. I think there are should be some alternative, how this could be done. But I can't think of any other application with the same functionality. Any ideas?

You could make the dropdown box editable, then when the user starts typing the control suggests colors from the list. For advanced users the box should accept color values in hex.
share|improve this answer
If I want a custom colour, I have to select the star, and then enter in the colour value. You are adding an extra step for no benefit, and adding something that is not very clear.
I would instead treat the dropdown as a shortcut to a defined colour which modifies a text field which can represent a hex colour, or a code colour.
That way it is clean and simple to use, and makes it as fast as possible.
Here is an mockup of what I mean:
enter image description here
If you have the ability, I would also make the colour block a link to a colour palette with relevant colours. This would also act as a shortcut to change the hex value or code value depending on what is most applicable. Something similar to this:

Thank you for your answer, my mistake - I explained what I want to do in a very brief way. I can't go away from code field, this is the domain-specific area of app. It must be there. Also there are other different GUI elements: width pickers, style pickers, text editors and so on that will have two different input modes. Color is the only example. Hence, I need this "trigger" to switch on the "input code mode". What is the most intuitive way for end-user to perform it? End-users are aware of code input and app functionality. – Steve Mar 7 '13 at 18:22
_USER_ could you please explain how the 4th example shown would not work? You could just not use hex codes, but keep the text area for domain specific code. – JohnGB Mar 7 '13 at 18:43
yes, you are right about 4th example. But since this two colors could be different, it would be too confusing – Steve Mar 7 '13 at 20:08

CraftAR Management API curl examples
icon Date Developer Guide
icon Date Dec 22, 2020
icon author Catchoom Team
icon folder
In certain circumstances you may find yourself needing to use a raw cURL request to interact with our Management API. If that's the case, you can use the examples in this article to help you out. Take into account that we strongly recommend using our native CraftAR-PHP and CraftAR-Python libraries to interact with our Management API instead of using cURL.
The scenarios for which we'll be showing examples are:
You need Python and the command line tool jq to run these examples. A full script with all the examples can be found here. The code for each example is written in Bash script and can be executed from your command line or saved in a Bash script file separately and executed as long as you include the utility methods from the full script. They each assume that there is an environment variable available called APIKEY which has the value of your account's API Key that you can get here after logging in with your account.
Create a Cloud Collection
This example creates a Cloud Collection called "My Collection".
Create an On-Device Collection
This example creates an On-Device Collection called "My Collection" by submitting the "offline" parameter set to "true"
Create an IR (Image Recognition) Item
This example creates an Image Recognition Item called "My Item" in the Collection we created previously.

Create an AR (Augmented Reality) Item
This example creates an Augmented Reality Item called "My Item" in the Collection we created previously.
Create an AR (Augmented Reality) Item with Custom Contents
This example creates an Augmented Reality Item called "My Custom Content Item" in the Collection we created previously and specifying the JSON content which describes the scene for the Augmented Reality. In this example we're adding an image content and a video content which includes a transparency mask. Read this article to learn how to describe contents programmatically in our JSON format. To know more about how we support videos with transparency in the CraftAR Service and in the SDKs, see how to add videos with transparency to Augmented Reality with CraftAR .
Create an Image for an Item
This example creates an image on CraftAR from the file called myimage.jpg in the directory where the script is run. The image is associated to the Item we created in the previous examples.
Associate an Application ID to a Collection
This example associates an AppID to an existing collection. In this example we are using the previous On-Device Collection created, but it would also work with any Cloud Collection.
Obtain SDK Version Resource URI to create an On-Device Bundle
This example retrieves the Resource URI for a given SDK Version to be used to create an On-Device Bundle.
Create an On-Device Bundle
This example creates an On-Device Bundle for an existing collection and associated AppID.
Regenerate an On-Device Bundle
This example forces a regeneration of an existing On-Device Bundle by using the same call as Create. You'll usually want to trigger regeneration of a Bundle when you've updated any of the Items in the Collection to which the Bundle is associated.
Obtain Collections for an Application ID
This example retrieves the list of collections for an AppID on your account and some additional data for that AppID.

How do I make the signal list compare measurements made with the detectors used to different limit lines in my MXE EMI Receiver?
You can configure the signal list to compare the measurements made by all three detectors used to a different limit line.
For example, as the default, all three detectors used will be compared to Limit Line #1. You can configure Detector #2 to be compared to Limit Line #2 instead by doing the following:
- Press Meas Setup, Detectors (Measure)
- Press Select Detector, Detector 2
- Press Limit for Delta, Limit 2
- Select OK when asked to confirm the change
If you already have measurement values in the signal list and you would like to update the difference between them and the newly selected limit line do the following:
- Press Meas Setup, More, Limits
- Press More, Update Delta Limit
The signal list will now be comparing the values measured with Detector #2 to Limit Line #2.

Ruby Netlink
============
This library provides an API for using a Linux Netlink socket, for doing
things like manipulating IP interfaces and routes programmatically, and
capturing packets from ULOG.
Example
=======
 require 'linux/netlink/route'
 ip = Linux::Netlink::Route::Socket.new
 # Info about eth0 interface
 p ip.link["eth0"]
 # Addresses on eth0 interface
 ip.addr.list(:index=>"eth0") do |addr|
 puts addr.address
 end
See the examples/ and test/ directories for more examples.
Requirements
============
ruby 1.9 (tested with ruby 1.9.2), OR ruby 1.8.7 with the ffi library.
Code organisation
=================
There are separate classes for each Netlink protocol providing a high-level
API. These all in turn use the NLSocket class, which has methods for adding
the headers to messages and sending them over a socket. The messages
themselves are built using class Message or RtattrMessage, which in turn are
subclasses of CStruct, which performs the low-level packing and unpacking of
the message bodies.

Note there are some errors in the nhorman paper. On page 8/9, it says
 nlmsg_pid ... Also note that it is
 imperative that any program receiving netlink socket messages from
 the kernel verify that this ﬁeld is set to zero, or it is possible to expose

- superfluous •
Pronunciation: su-pêr-flu-ês • Hear it!
Part of Speech: Adjective
Meaning: Excessive, more than is necessary, extra and unnecessary.
Notes: You may use today's word adverbially if you cap it off with the usual suffix, -ly: superfluously. The long noun, superfluousness, is more awkward than the older, more compact superfluity [sup-êr-flu-i-ti]. The latter noun also exhibits a more graceful plural form: superfluities.
In Play: We are entering a season in which superfluity is acceptable. We tend to become excessive with food, presents, and generosity: "I love the Christmas decorations on your house, but I think the lights on everybody's clothes are a bit superfluous." It is a word you can use anywhere anytime: "No, your father and I think that hiring a maid would be superfluous so long as you and your brother are capable of movement."
Word History: Today's Good Word comes from Latin superfluus "overflowing", the adjective from superfluere "to overflow", composed of super "over" + fluere "to flow". Super comes from a Proto-Indo-European (PIE) root that also developed into Greek hyper with the same meaning (hypersensitive, hyperactive). We would expect the PIE [p] to become [f] in English, so Old English ofer, which later became over, does not surprise us. The root for flu- "flow" comes from PIE bhleu- "to swell, well up, flow". It turned into English blow, bloat, and bladder as it accumulated various suffixes over the years. (It would certainly not be superfluous to thank Mark Bailey for suggesting today's extremely Good Word.)

PRESS RELEASE – The Msgr. Patrick Anthony Folk Research Centre will present a lecture by Professor Claire Robertson of the Ohio State University as part of its contribution to the Nobel Laureate Festival 2018.
The Lecture takes place at the FRC headquarters at 7:30 p.m. on Monday, January 29, and is entitled, "Saint Lucia's Revolutionary History: It's Important!"
Robertson's most recent book is titled "Gwan moun sé wimed: elders are medicine — Life stories from twentieth century Saint Lucia", her rendering of the life stories of 57 elderly St. Lucians from all over St. Lucia, as related to her in the early 2000s.
She is Professor Emerita of History and Women's, Gender and Sexuality Studies from The Ohio State University, also adjunct professor at Indiana University in the US.
This work makes her eighth book; two of them have won book prizes. She has also published over 55 articles, many of which deal with slavery in Africa and the Americas, but also with African market women and systems, based on research in Ghana and Kenya. Two of her articles relate specifically to Saint Lucia: "Racism, the Military, and Abolitionism in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century Caribbean," Jl. of Military History 77, 2 (April, 2013): 433-61, and "Claiming Freedom: Abolition and Identity in Saint Lucian History," Jl. of Caribbean History 34, 1-2 (2001): 89-129.
Robertson's work covers specialties in African and Women's History, with much interest in the Caribbean. She has been affiliated with the Msgr. Patrick Anthony Folk Research Centre for many years. The Centre greatly facilitated her research.
She is strongly committed to the use of oral history to illuminate the history of ordinary people, whose stories are often extraordinary but all too often ignored.
On a recent visit to St. Lucia, she distributed several copies of this new book to the Ministry of Education, schools, libraries and persons interviewed for the book.
The general public is invited to attend the lecture.


Describing and referring to LEDs in ACPI
Individual LEDs are described by hierarchical data extension [5] nodes under the device node, the LED driver chip. The "reg" property in the LED specific nodes tells the numerical ID of each individual LED output to which the LEDs are connected. [leds] The hierarchical data nodes are named "led@X", where X is the number of the LED output.
Referring to LEDs in Device tree is documented in [video-interfaces], in "flash-leds" property documentation. In short, LEDs are directly referred to by using phandles.
While Device tree allows referring to any node in the tree [devicetree], in ACPI references are limited to device nodes only [acpi]. For this reason using the same mechanism on ACPI is not possible. A mechanism to refer to non-device ACPI nodes is documented in [data-node-ref].
ACPI allows (as does DT) using integer arguments after the reference. A combination of the LED driver device reference and an integer argument, referring to the "reg" property of the relevant LED, is used to identify individual LEDs. The value of the "reg" property is a contract between the firmware and software, it uniquely identifies the LED driver outputs.
Under the LED driver device, The first hierarchical data extension package list entry shall contain the string "led@" followed by the number of the LED, followed by the referred object name. That object shall be named "LED" followed by the number of the LED.

The Sri Lankan Advanced Level (A-level), is a General Certificate of Education (GCE) qualification exam in Sri Lanka, similar to the British Advanced Level, conducted annually by the Department of Examinations of the Ministry of Education. It is usually taken by students during the optional final two years of collegiate level (Grade 12 and 13), after they have completed GCE Ordinary Level exams. The qualification also serves as an entrance requirement for Sri Lankan state universities. The exams are held in three mediums: Sinhala, Tamil and English.
The candidates are expected to study for 2 years at collegiate level before taking the examination. The examination diversifies over 5 major fields of study:
- Physical Science stream (Combined mathematics, Physics and Chemistry or information technology )
- Biological Science stream (Biology (Botany and Zoology), Physics or Agricultural Science and Chemistry)
- Commerce stream
- Arts stream
- Technology stream (Engineering Technology)
- Technology stream (Bio-system Technology)
In each stream, candidates are expected to face 3 subjects related to the specific stream. Additionally, there would be a General English test and a Common General test. Although the result of the General English test is not taken into account for the University Entrance selection criteria, candidates are expected to obtain a pass mark for the Common General test.
At Zahira College, Technology stream and agricultural science is not currently offered but Vocational stream is offered.

MIDDLETOWN ? Middletown Unified School District (MUSD) has a new Farm to School program and a new employee to get it under way.
With funds from Calpine and Bottle Rock Power, MUSD hired aide Laura Kennedy, who recently began working with students and teachers in the school garden at Minnie Cannon Elementary School.
Along with volunteers from the Hidden Valley Garden Club, the group cleared weeds and laid weed barrier cloth for new spring planting. Home Depot of Windsor, Friedman Brothers of Santa Rosa and Quakenbush Compost Facility of Clearlake donated materials.
MUSD's Farm to School program is part of a nationwide trend toward schools providing complementary educational activities that emphasize food, farming and nutrition, while supporting local economies.
Organizers say the MUSD program will bring healthy food from Lake County farms to Middletown school children, while teaching where their food comes from and instilling healthy eating habits.
The use of local produce in school meals, along with the educational aspect, establishes a partnership with local farms, helping to ensure the success of these farms while mitigating the environmental cost of transporting food long distances, according to program organizers.

To carry out this activity we will take Spain as an example. According to the Soil Taxonomy Classification established by the US Soil survey staff, we can find 4 types of soil orders in Spain.
We will use a map where we appreciate these different types of soil orders but the only information that we have in the Attributes table is their names. Therefore we are going to join information so that we can also find the description of each type of soil in the attributes table.
We need to do a Table "Join" to do so. To link the Excel table to the attributes table we need a column indicating the name of the types of soil orders and another column with the information that we are interested in including. In this case, with the soil orders characteristics.
Right click the layer in ArcGIS and choose "Join and Relates" > "Join".
In the dialog box fill in the fields as follows:
- What do you want to join to this layer?: select "Joins attributes from a table" (this is important because choosing the other option will generate a completely different table).
- Field number "1": Select the field form the attributes table that we will use as join, this is, the filed that ArcGIS will join to the Excel table.
- Field number "2": Select the table to join to this layer, in this case the Excel Sheet 1.
- Field number "3": Choose the column in which the join will be based.
Both columns are named "soil_orders" (in the Attributes Table) and "types of soil order" (in the Excel table).
- "Join options" is to decide if we want to keep all records (maintaining all attributes including those that do not share the common field with the table, appearing the word "Null" instead) or just the matching ones between tables (it will only keep those records with a matching record, erasing the ones that don't).
For this example it doesn't really matter as in the Excel table we only have records that are matching.
The resulting table will be an attributes table joined to the Excel table and it will look like this:
In case we have made a mistake or we are not interested anymore we can remove the join by right clicking on the layer and choosing Join and Relates > Remove Join(s) > Remove All Joins.
We can carry out several joins as long as the join is not using the same attributes field (column).

Distinct Business Entity
DEFINITION of 'Distinct Business Entity'
A sub-division within a company that is completely autonomous from the rest of the company. The distinct business entity will have complete control over how it utilizes its assets, organizes its management and the most appropriate financing structure if required.
BREAKING DOWN 'Distinct Business Entity'
A distinct business entity will most likely be segregated from the rest of the company based on some operational distinction, such as having a separate product line, being geographically segregated or by offering a different service then the rest of the company.
Distinct business units can be a key element for any firm, as these units have the flexibility to make daily and high level management decisions at the operational level, which frequently yields better decision making. They can take the forms, such as a corporation, association or business trust.

Agency for statistic of Bosnia and Herzegovina is publishing data on innovation activity of enterprises referring to the period 2016-2018, obtained through the biennial survey on innovation activities of enterprises in Bosnia and Herzegovina (INOV). The Survey was carried out on the sample consisting of 3.116 enterprises, with the response rate of enterprises, which completed the questionnaire of 67.8%.
Innovation-active enterprises are those that, in the observation period, have had completed product or process innovation activities and/or ongoing innovation activities at the end of 2018 and/or abandoned innovation activities and/or in-house research and development activities and/or contract-out research and development activities. Innovation activities in the observation period may result in innovation, be ongoing, delayed or abandoned
Out of the total number of enterprises, 35.6% introduced at least one of the above innovation activities in the observation period 2016-2018. In the same observation period, 64.4 % of enterprises have not implemented innovative activities.
Innovation activity of enterprises increases as their size increases. Thus, 59.4% of enterprises in the observed number of large enterprises (250 employees and more) were innovation-active, 46.6% in the observed number of medium enterprises (between 50 and 249 employees), while 31.5% of enterprises in the group of small enterprises (between 10 and 49 employees) were innovation-active
By section of the Classification of Economic Activities 2010, which in its content and structure fully complies with the Statistical Classification of Economic Activities of the EU, NACE Rev.2, the largest number of innovation-active enterprises was recorded in the section Information and communication, 63.9%, and the least innovative enterprises was recorded in the section Mining and quarrying, 17.


multiple services
Develop logical data models for the following:
Data model #1
A patient can make multiple appointments to see a provider, but an appointment can only be associated with one patient visit.
Data model #2
A specific patient visit can be associated with only one provider (such as a nurse, or physician).
For both data models:
 - A specific patient visit can be associated with multiple services (such as a physician visit, laboratory test, and other evaluation).
 - Patient attributes include: medical record number, date of birth, last name, first name, gender.
 - Appointment attributes include: appointment date, appointment time, and primary provider.
 - Visit attributes include: visit date, visit time, provider, and services.

District Police Departments
Use of forcible means
When on duty, the police have the right in certain situations to use forcible means that can be considered justifiable. In determining this justifiability, the factors considered include the importance and urgency of the duty, the dangerousness of the resistance being shown and the available resources.
The police are entitled to use forcible means in order to
Only the minimum necessary force is used. The lock to an apartment, for example, will not be broken unless this is urgently required. Instead, the police will acquire a key with which entry can be made without causing any damage.
Use of force is permitted in all types of police duties. While it is most commonly used in uniformed police duties, force may also be used by other police officers when, for example, apprehending offenders. Police officers, as indeed anyone else, also have the right of self-defence.

Perhaps this belongs on stackoverflow, but since it could have some applicability to non-tech contexts, thought I'd post here.
Is there a word that means "make something that is variable constant"?
For example, in programming, I might have a variable
queueSize that could be set to different values for different queues. Later I decide to make this a fixed (constant) value for all queues. What is a word to describe this conversion?
A real-world (non-programming) example is converting from a variable tax-rate to a flat (constant) tax-rate. I proposed below that, in light of this example, the word
flatten could be used to answer my question. However, this word does not conventionally mean "to make constant", and has other meanings in the context of several programming languages.
To be clear, I'm not looking for a word/expression the means changing a variable from one type to another (casting). Rather, I mean keeping the type the same, but changing a field from a variable to a constant value.


From: nCipher Support (supportnCipher.com)
Date: Mon May 13 2002 - 10:44:29 CDT
 In certain circumstances, the nCipher MSCAPI CSP Install Wizard support
 software on Windows 2000 will set the nCipher CSP key generation
 behavior incorrectly. Despite the user requesting Operator Card Set
 protection for keys ('cardset protected keys') that are generated using
 the nCipher CSP, a software error might result in keys being protected
 by the module alone.
 1. Security world
 nCipher's key management modules (nForce/nShield) are generally
 used with nCipher's suite of utilities for managing a 'security
 world'. A security world is a collection of cryptographic keys,
 smart cards, modules and associated data stored on host computers.
 A security world is designed to prevent unauthorized access to
 application keys while maintaining scalability and key availability.
 The core security world secrets are protected by Administrator Cards
 written by the initialization software and kept safe by the user.
 Application keys can either be made available to any nCipher module
 appropriately programmed with the user's Administrator Cards (module
 protected keys) or they can be protected by further smart cards known as
 Operator Cards that provide an additional layer of security.
 2. The nCipher CSP
 If the CSP is set up to use module-protected keys, when applications
 tell the CSP to create a key, it needs no input from the user. If the
 CSP is set up to use Operator Cards and is told to create a key, it
 first looks to see if there are any cards which it can load
 automatically, and uses those if any are present. If not, it prompts
 the user to choose which Operator Card Set to use.
 1. Cause
 The Install Wizard for the nCipher CSP support software on Windows 2000
 offers a check box for controlling whether a key to be generated is
 module protected or to be additionally protected by an Operator Card
 When the Install Wizard is used to create an Operator Card Set then the
 nCipher CSP key generation behaves as requested by the user.
 If cardset protection is selected from the Install Wizard but a new
 Operator Card Set is *not* created, the wizard incorrectly sets the
 nCipher CSPs up to use module protection for all keys that they
 subsequently create.
 2. Impact
 If the user is affected by this issue, any application key generated
 by the nCipher CSP will be incorrectly protected by the module alone,
 rather than by a combination of operator card set and module.
 This means that an attacker, who gains control of any nCipher module,
 has been programmed into the key's security world can gain unauthorized
 access to this key, since no further smart card authorization is
 3. Who May Be Affected
 This problem only affects keys that have been generated by the nCipher
 CSP after the Install Wizard from CD version 5.50 has been run.
 The problem does not affect keys that were
 * generated by any software other than the nCipher CSP, or
 * generated by the nCipher CSP using the Install Wizard from any CD
 other than version 5.50.
 4. How To Tell If You Are Affected
 To find out whether you're affected, run 'c:\nfast\bin\csputils.exe -d'
 from the command line. This will give you a detailed summary of all your
 containers and information for the keys they contain.
 Each key (key exchange and/or signature) will have a description
 including whether or not it was generated by the nCipher CSP, its hash,
 and its protection method.
 A cardset protected key (here stored in a container called 'expimptst')
 will have an entry like the following (lines have been truncated for
 Detailed report for container ID _TAG_...
 Filename: key_mscapi_container-cbfb7b11909b40ddc50da759d6...
 Container name: expimptst
 User name: NCIPHER\james
 User SID: s-1-5-21-_PHONE_-719136693-34565100-1111
 CSP DLL name: ncsp.dll
 No signature key.
 Filename for key exchange key is key_mscapi_expimptst-ncsp-ujam...
 Key was generated by the CSP
 Key hash: 92c60edf376c26e9ee76db3a2a70dd031636a218
 Key is recoverable.
 Key is cardset protected.
 Cardset name: mscapi-grimsby
 Sharing parameters: 1 of 1 shares required.
 Cardset hash: 4eb80f966c13bd735cb50f29ef19e5e...
 Cardset is persistent.
 and a module protected key will have one like the following:
 Filename: key_mscapi_container-32a16394a3ffe52eb4db1127d8...
 Container name: james
 User name: NCIPHER\james
 CSP DLL name: ncsp.dll
 No signature key.
 Filename for key exchange key is key_mscapi_6fa4c59efefb6c01db6...
 Key was generated by the CSP
 Key hash: 6fa4c59efefb6c01db6eca9f1eadbb17158fc2a8
 Key is recoverable.
 Key is module protected.
 If you have keys unexpectedly module protected when they should be
 cardset protected you are affected by this bug.
 1. Users who have NOT already created a key with the wrong protection
 In order to force MSCAPI applications to generate cardset protected keys
 a file 'wizardfix.reg' should be created containing the following text:
 Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
 This file can then be run by the user to change the appropriate registry
 entry that determines the behavior of key generation using the nCipher
 Alternatively, the user can edit the registry value specified above
 directly using 'regedit'.
 The registry setting must be reset using either of the above methods
 after each invocation of the affected nCipher CSP Install Wizard.
 2. Users who have already created a key which is erroneously module
 Users who have already generated keys which were intended to be cardset
 protected, but due to this error are not, are advised to apply the above
 registry fix and generate new keys. nCipher recommends against
 converting existing module-protected keys to cardset-protected status,
 since it is extremely difficult to do this in a way that increases
 You can obtain copies of this advisory, advice on obtaining a patch kit,
 and supporting documentation from the nCipher security advisories Web

Though never saw it on screen the Drone ship was supposedly an adapted warbird. But what does the normal warbird look like?
First lets look at the Drone ship:
Let's logically assume the green fins, and holographic pins are the modifications that leaves the black shape below as the main body of the warbird. What do you think? i know the drone ship was a reuse of the Flea ship from Voyager but it's the only thing we have. their must have been at least a proto-warbird class in the 22nd century.

Technical and vocational education and training (TVET) is often seen to be constraining and focused on specific skill development for specific occupations. This goal is at odds with the demands of a knowledge economy that requires more general educational outcomes for an uncertain and unpredictable labour market. For this reason, Hui (2012) has adopted a broader definition of student learning outcomes and assessed the extent to which 'cultural literacy' might be a preferred goal for TVET to supplement the skills training element. Cultural literacy refers to an individual's world view, ways to interact with people, character, personal ethics, values and style. Hui's study highlighted the need for TVET to emphasise the development of these generic outcomes, students' comprehensive attitudes and personal qualities in particular. To achieve greater control over the quality of outcomes, this study aims to investigate the influence of students' participation in institutional activities on their growth. Through modifying the well-known National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE), this study examines the relationship between the five benchmarks of effective educational practice and students' cultural literacy and their self-reported academic performance. Results of a survey study of 238 Hong Kong TVET students indicated that some of the benchmarks could predict to a strong and moderate degree these two important outcomes.

Error: An unknown error has occurred loading this published map
After creating and publishing a Published Map File (PMF) package, users are unable to open the PMF file in ArcReader. The following error is returned:
"An unknown error has occurred loading this published map."
In other situations, when users attempt to access a published map on ArcReader, the following error message is returned, and nothing is loaded:
"An unknown error has occurred while loading document."
There are several causes of this issue:
- Compatibility issue. This issue occurs due to users using different version of ArcReader and Publisher in ArcMap. For example, ArcGIS 10.1 PMF files are not backwards compatible with ArcGIS 10.0. In addition, ArcReader 10.1 cannot be installed on the same machine as ArcGIS Desktop 10.0, so this explains the error message.
- The location of the PMF files is altered. The end user does not have access to both the PMF and the data. In theory, if users do not have at least read access to the data, users are unable to open the map. Granted, that also depends upon how the map is published.
- PMF files are corrupted.
Solution or Workaround
Follow the suggested solutions below to solve this issue:
Download the right version of ArcReader which is compatible with version of Publisher in ArcMap. The link for downloading different ArcReader releases can be found here.
Ensure the user of the second machine has permission on the PMF and folder.
Create a new map document and publish it using the Publisher extension. To do this, follow the steps below:
1. From the Publisher toolbar, select Publish Map. 2. Create a new folder. The new folder is used to house both the PMF file and the data package. The reason for this is to keep all the elements of the published map together for future distribution to users who have ArcReader. 3. Name the file, and click Save. 4. From the Publisher toolbar, select Create Data Package. 5. Select the PMF file generated in Steps 1 - 3. Click Open. 6. Specify the save location. Use the folder created in Step 2. 7. Ensure that the Data Format is set to File Geodatabase. 8. Ensure that the box under Options is unchecked. 9. Click the Extent tab. 10. Check the boxes next to include all features in the dataset. Click OK. 11. Once the Data Package is created, send the entire folder created in Step 2 to the end user, and they now can access to the PMF as well as all of the published data.

Using TDM for Security and Compliance in Application Testing Environments
Using TDM for Security and Compliance in Application Testing Environments
Testing teams need to be compliant and maintain strict controls on the data used in testing environments.
You must identify sensitive information in huge volumes of production data and then ensure that you do not expose the information in the test data. This is a challenge and a compliance and security risk.
You can perform the following tasks to help with security and compliance in a test environment:
 - To analyze the data and identify sensitive information in the data, run profiles in TDM. You can compare the data against multiple compliance regulation standards to ensure that the data meets standard compliance regulations. For example, run a profile on the data to identify columns that contain sensitive data according to PII, PCI, or PHI compliance regulations.
 - To remove sensitive data that you identify, run a data masking operation in TDM. You can use standard masking formats such as credit card numbers or Social Security numbers to mask data or create customized formats to mask data.
 - To reduce the risk associated with creating multiple copies of test data, store the data in the test data warehouse. Multiple teams that use different machines that host a Test Data Manager Service in a domain can access a single test data warehouse.


What is the origin of the phrase shit-eating grin? How did it come to mean showing smugness or self-satisfaction of an individual's actions?
From the Urban Dictionary:
...these uses are documented in the Oxford English Dictionary no earlier than 1957
There have been similar expressions used quite far back:
In Book XXI of his History of Rome, Livy describes a Carthaginian sect of coprophages, the risus faecivorus, or shit-eating grin, being commonly displayed by its adherents.
Although, its origin is undetermined, they may have been incidents which caused the invention of this phrase. Below is an excerpt:
"1944 Jrnl. Nerv. & Mental Dis. XCIX. 959 Among demented patients in advanced stages of their illness,..it is not rare to see some of them grasp their own feces, chew them and eat them often with great pleasure and satisfaction (coprophagia).
 - I can recall, about 40 years ago, hearing some nurses who worked at a hospital for mentally disabled discuss various traits of patients, including the eating of feces. So there may indeed be a literal connection. – Hot Licks Mar 6 at 23:07
 - The quote about Livy XXI is pure hogwash -- you shouldn't believe everything you read in the Urban Dictionary! – Gareth Rees Mar 18 at 15:35
The phrase in slang dictionaries
The earliest slang dictionary coverage of the expression that I've been able to find is from Robert Chapman, New Dictionary of American Slang (1986), which offers this entry:
shit-eating grin n phr An expression of satisfaction; a gloating look: Go ahead, sit there with that shit-eating grin on your face—Earl Thompson/ stood there with a smug shiteating grin on his face—Fingered City
Nine years later, Robert Chapman & Barbara Kipfer, Dictionary of American Slang, third edition (1995) changes that basic definition only slightly:
shit-eating (or turd-eating) grin n phr by 1960s An expression of smug satisfaction; a stupid gloating look: [citations omitted]
Jonathon Green, Chambers Slang Dictionary (2008) provides a similar interpretation:
shit-eating grin n. (also cat-eating grin, crud-eating grin, shit-eating smile) {[from] shit-eating [1940s+, "1 a general term of disparagement 2 sly, duplicitous 3 toadying, subservient"} {1950s+} (orig. US) a smug, self-satisfied smile.
On the other hand, Tom Dalzell & Terry Victor, The New Partridge Dictionary of Slang and Unconventional English (2006) counters with this rather different entry:
shit-eating grin noun a broad smile, ingratiating and unctuous US, 1957 [Citations omitted.]
The Earl Thompson quotation in Chapman's 1986 dictionary seems likely to come from his novel A Garden of Sand (1971), while The Fingered City (1975) is a book by Denison Hatch. If these dates are correct, neither instance that Chapman cites is particularly close to the earliest reported occurrences in print of "shit-eating grin."
Early instances of'shit-eating grin' and allied phrases, 1957–1961
The earliest confirmed matches for the phrase that I've been able to find in various database searches are from the period 1957–1961. I think it's worthwhile to consider several less taboo versions of the expression from this same period, since these may be instances of censorship-enforced euphemism. Readers can judge for themselves whether these are in fact euphemisms or simply weakly related (or totally unrelated) similar-looking phrases.
From Len Giovannitti, The Prisoners of Combine D (1957) [combined snippets]:
Both men looked up from their potato-peeling job as Bob Rawlins came into the combine and sat down on the bench opposite. He had a a queer grin on his face and Storch and Zukerman knew he was set to spring the latest rumor. Rawlins was the hottest fighter pilot ever born; he was also from Texas. Everybody knew this two seconds after meeting him; and three seconds after meeting him, everyone knew he was the biggest liar ever born. He loved rumors, good or bad, and spent his days living on each new one he heard or could dream up.
"Okay, what's the shit-eating grin for? What's up now?" Storch asked, winking at Zukerman.
Rawlins kept the grin. "You mean you ain't heard?"
"No, we ain't heard, so tell us before you choke," Storch said.
The expression here could very well mean "self-satisfied grin," although it is not altogether clear what sort of "queer grin" the author actually imagines is playing on the character's face. It seems entirely possible that the aspect of the grin that the author is focusing on in this passage is its artificiality, unnaturalness, or forcedness.
From Gene Brown, The Locust Fire (1957) [combined snippets]:
"'Hold up there, Tom," says Pappy.
"The colonel stops like he's been shot in the back. He's a damn fine figure of a man, especially in the dress pinks, with them squared-off shoulders. 'Well?' he says.
" Old Pappy walks around in front of him. I guess the colonel got a good whiff of the juice, because he kind of sways back on his heels. But Pappy steps up close, with a big dirt-eating grin on his face, and starts running his hands up and down the lapels. Then he flicks a little imaginary dust off the colonel's epaulets and moves back a pace. "That's a real pretty suit, Tom,' he says. 'Ain't it a pity all these poor hungry boys here can't be wearing one just like it?'"
Whatever the "dirt-eating grin" looks like here, a grin of satisfaction or gloating doesn't fit the context particularly well. Pappy is drunk, so his grin may be good-humored in a sloshed way, or it may be simply goofy, or it may be inappropriately familiar. Certainly, his conduct is insubordinate and highly offensive to the colonel.
From Hubert Selby, Last Exit to Brooklyn (1957):
He [Spook] picked up a old police bike for few bucks and fixed it up. You know, threw some paint on it and stole a wildass buddyseat all covered with fur and chrome, and was fulla piss and vinegar ta go. We toldim ta play it cool and relax and celebrate Tommys marriage. But he flipped when someone tried ta get that goddamn hat off his head so we said OK, wed go downstairs and look at his bike. So we looked. Big deal. Yaknow, when the cops is finished with a bike, man, its had it. But it was a bike and it moved. I think that sonofabitch woulda used it even if he had ta push it or pedal it like a kiddy car. So he kicks it over after 5 minutes and we listen to it cough and miss and Spook went puttin off with a shiteatin grin on his face and we went back up stairs and a few minutes later he comes back. Smilin all over the goddamn place and the strap of his hat under his chin. I tellya man, it was a pissa.
This is may be the 1957 quotation that most sources have in mind when they date "shit-eating grin" to 1957, although it is not the only instance from that year (as noted bove). Still, the sense of the phrase aligns reasonably well with the definition in Dalzell & Victor: "a broad smile, ingratiating and unctuous"—with the "broad smile" part, anyway.
From Evan Hunter, Strangers When We Met (1958):
Altar was smiling, but the smile was a crud-eating one, and Larry's years in the service had taught him to recognize the crud-eating grin and to know what it usually preceded. He felt himself stiffening.
"Sit down," Altar said. "Want a drink?"
"No." Belatedly, he added. "Thanks."
"Well, sit down anyway."
"Sure." Larry sat in the easy chair to the left of the bar unit, facing the blue couch upon which Altar still sprawled.
"I don't like to do this," Altar said. "I don't like it when it's done to me, and Christ knows it's done often enough. But I think there's a difference here, and if I'm wrong I'll apologize. Can I talk to you like man, Larry? Or do I have to give you the schmaltz?"
Here, the "crud-eating grin" seems to be a kind of grimace of forced conviviality preceding the imparting of bad news (in this case, the bad news is that Altar thinks that Larry's rough sketches "stink").
From Thomas Williams, Town Burning (1959):
"...A man killed my dog, that's all I know! Daisy, she was the sweetest little dog you ever see. She never hurt nobody, except rabbits. She was all hell on rabbits. Shot forty rabbits front of Daisy one year. I damn near lived on rabbits that year. You ought to heard Daisy on

Pointing in Brick Walls
Loosely speaking, 'pointing' is the mortar between bricks. A more accurate definition is that it is the visible edge of the mortar-joint. The mortar is normally a mix of lime and sand, or from the 1920s cement and sand. A colouring is sometimes added. Black mortar uses crushed ash rather than sand.
In Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian houses, the pointing between bricks and stone had a major effect on the appearance of the buildings. The emphasis was always supposed to be on the brickwork, rather than the pointing. The ideal was no visible mortar. This could be achieved by:
 - using high quality engineering bricks
 - 'rubbed' brickwork, where the bricks were rubbed together until they fitted closely together, leaving a joint of 2-3mm
 - 'tuck' pointing, where a line of white, putty mortar was 'tucked' into a slot cut in stained mortar
 - stained mortar to hide the pointing
Most houses used, at best, the last of these, with flush or slightly recessed pointing. Styles of pointing included flush, tuck, bucket handle and recessed pointing. Weatherstruck pointing was never used.
types of pointing
The two pictures below show an example of tuck pointing. You can see how the bricks are pointed with a stained mortar and then a line of putty mortar set in. The white putty is a mix of silver sand and lime. Tuck pointing was used to disguise poor quality, chipped and irregular bricks.
 - 1907, Bromley, Kent; tuck pointing
 - tuck pointing
These are examples of other mortar and brick combinations:
 - black putty
 black putty in white bricks and mortar
 - white putty
 white putty in white bricks and mortar
In some places, the putty line is laid over the surface of the bricks:
tuck pointing
Lines are put on the surface to align the verticals from the footings to the top of the building; the putty was added from the top downwards but if the brick courses are not aligned, the tuck-pointing needs to match.
an example of new tuck pointing
The stopping was 'wiped' over the bedding mortar while it was still 'green'.


text: The performance of object recognition and classification on remote sensing imagery is highly dependent on the quality of extracted features, amount of labelled data and the priors defined for contextual models. In this study, we examine the representation learning opportunities for remote sensing. First we attacked localization of contextual cues for complex object detection using disentangling factors learnt from a small amount of labelled data. The complex object, which consists of several sub-parts is further represented under the Conditional Markov Random Fields framework. As a second task, end-to-end target detection using convolutional sparse auto-encoders (CSA) using large amount of unlabelled data is analysed. Proposed methodologies are tested on complex airfield detection problem using Conditional Random Fields and recognition of dispersal areas, park areas, taxiroutes, airplanes using CSA. The method is also tested on the detection of the dry docks in harbours. Performance of the proposed method is compared with standard feature engineering methods and found competitive with currently used rule-based and supervised methods.

Interpretive Summary: Ancient grains as novel dietary carbohydrate sources in canine diets
By Anne Zinn
Pets have become increasingly integrated into family life, which has led to the projection of human perceptions onto the pet food market. As a result of the popularity and novelty of ancient grains in the human market, they have become an increasingly abundant carbohydrate choice in pet food, but the research on the potential health effects of a high inclusion of the present ancient grains in pet food is limited.
A paper recently published in the Journal of Animal Science aimed to evaluate the effects of the novel carbohydrate sources on total apparent total tract digestibility, fecal microbiota, and fermentative end-product concentrations and to evaluate the effects of novel carbohydrate sources on the postprandial glycemic and insulinemic responses in healthy adult dogs. The research team hypothesized that the consumption of ancient grain-based diets would beneficially shift fermentative end products and fecal microbial populations and lower glycemic response with no detrimental effect on nutrient digestibility or the overall animal health.
Overall, results of the present study demonstrated that ancient grains, when utilized as the main carbohydrate source at relatively high inclusion levels, were well accepted and appropriate for adult dogs and did not indicate any detrimental effects on stool quality or macronutrient digestibility. Specifically, the dietary inclusion of amaranth and oat groats were beneficial in shifting fermentative end products indicative of a butyrogenic effect. Although oat groats did not significantly impact the postprandial glycemic or insulinemic responses in healthy dogs in this study, it can be implied from the present results that this ancient grain may benefit obese, insulin resistant, and/or diabetic dogs; this implication should be evaluated further.

In the beginning of 2014 our School St Mary's College (SMC) Rose-Hill signed the Education for Sustainability Charter and pledge. In keeping with our commitment to this, the Travel and Tourism students of SMC organized various activities on the themes of Culture & Heritage, and Ecotourism during the first term 2016. They are as follows:
1. Guided Tour at Eureka House and Moka River
The students organised a visit of Eureka House in Moka where participants were able to learn more about its significance to the history of Mauritius. They discovered the fascinating architecture of the residence made up of natural materials, and the colonial ways of life deeply imprinted with traditional and simple ways of living.
After visiting the museum, the participants were invited to go for a walk in the garden and near the Moka River banks. They had the chance to admire the small waterfalls, endemic plants and rare specimens which surround the house. This project had as objectives:
- To introduce to participants the unique flora and fauna present in the region of Moka,
- To develop environmentally-friendly attitudes and behaviours within people,
- To promote traditional games, and
- To instill respect for natural resources, including plants and animals.
We ended the visit with typical Mauritian dishes prepared in the old ways by Eureka House in the old kitchen.
2. Conference on Creole Culture in Mauritius
Mauritius being a melting pot with a rich multicultural society can pride itself for the coexistence of different religions, languages and cultures. In line with the concept of sustainability, the students have chosen to hold a Mini Conference to promote the Creole culture in Mauritius at l'Aventure du Sucre, Mapou. The main objectives of this project were to educate people of different age groups on various aspects of the Creole culture, to sensitise them on the importance of preserving it for the benefits of future generations, and to instill respect for local culture and traditions into people. Youngers of nowadays are now increasingly being taken up by the modernity of the fast changing life that only few of them know about the origins and meanings of customs and traditions in Mauritius.
To ensure the success of this event, different speakers were invited to share their knowledge on the bases of the creole culture and language, its traditions and customs, the creole cuisine, arts, and music. The students also benefited from the assistance of the Ecole Hôtelière Sir Gaetan Duval, Nelson Mandela Centre for African Culture, Ledikasyon Pu Travayer, and Mr. Paul Comarmond, painter and researcher on Creole arts.
3. Cultural Rally in the City of Port-Louis
For this project, a group of people were brought in Port-Louis to discover the various cultural and historical places that the capital city has to offer. This event took place in the form of a Cultural Rally which offered to the participants the opportunity to learn more about the Mauritian history through a range of challenging and fun activities. Quizzes and riddles were used as clues and participants had to refer to their own prior knowledge of the history to complete the tasks allocated to them.
The organizing team also wanted to use games to strengthen relationships and cooperation between people by setting them to play in teams with people they barely knew. Searching for clues together and sharing ideas was the opportunity to create human bonding. The game further demonstrated that a simple entertainment could act like a real brain booster for the participants. It further helped to reinforce the team spirit within the organizing group itself.
On the same way, ecofriendly attitudes were taken into consideration by ensuring that participants were not using motorised vehicles to check from one point to another. Similarly, all clues and hidden items were crafted by the students, and a minimum of paper was used for the enigmas. After the game, all participants had lunch together and we ended the event with a prize giving ceremony.

Hundreds of well wishers visited the newly opened Coral Gables Museum throughout the day on Sunday, Oct. 10.
In the morning, the public was welcomed with numerous activities for children and families, and everybody enjoyed the self-guided tours of the 1939 building in Downtown Coral Gables, which was the city's original Police and Fire station.
The building's conversion architect Jorge L. Hernandez gave a standing-roomonly lecture in the afternoon about the transformation of this historic building into the new museum.
A ribbon cutting ceremony took place at 5 p.m. with the participation of Mayor Don Slesnick; Vice Mayor Bill Kerdyk Jr., and Commissioners Maria Anderson, Ralph Cabrera Jr. and Chip Withers. Also present were U.S. Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen and Miami-Dade County Commissioners Rebeca Sosa and Carlos A. Gimenez.
George Kakouris, chair of the Coral Gables Museum Board of Trustees spoke during the ceremony about the generous contributions made by many, especially from Robert and Marian Fewell who were the largest private donors. Former Coral Gables Mayor Raul Valdes-Fauli also spoke about the importance to name the Valdes- Fauli Archive in honor of his late father.
Finally, Commissioner Wayne "Chip" Withers gave a heartfelt speech about the final realization of his long-time dream of building a museum where future generations can visit and learn what Coral Gables is all about.

A chip-based potentiometric sensor for a Zika virus diagnostic using 3D surface molecular imprinting†
The latest Zika virus (ZIKV) pandemic caused great international concern from explosively proliferating throughout the Americas. Currently, there is no vaccine to prevent Zika virus infection and available tests rely on antibodies or RNA. Unfortunately, antibody-based detection systems can result in false positive results and RNA-based detection systems are costly, time-consuming, and impractical for testing in remote regions. In this study, a potential point-of-care (POC) diagnostic system was developed using a chip-based potentiometric sensor to detect Zika virus using a 3D molecular imprinting technique. This chip-based potentiometric sensor system was able to detect 10−1 PFU mL−1 ZIKV in a buffered solution under 20 minutes without any sample manipulation. This sensor was tested against Dengue virus at clinical viral loads and showed no sign of cross-reactivity. When tested against human saliva samples containing clinical viral loads, this sensor was able to detect 10 PFU mL−1 ZIKV among the pool of bio-macromolecules. The high sensitivity and high selectivity demonstrated here proved that this lab-on-a-chip diagnostic has the potential to become a POC detection system for rapid and accurate screening of flaviviruses.
