FAQs for Multiplication Table Generator
What is a Multiplication Table Generator?
A Multiplication Table Generator is a tool or program that produces a table displaying the results of multiplying numbers within a specified range, aiding in learning and practicing multiplication facts.
Who invented the multiplication table?
The oldest known multiplication tables were used by the Babylonians about 4000 years ago. However, they used a base of 60. The oldest known tables using a base of 10 are the Chinese decimal multiplication table on bamboo strips dating to about 305 BC, during China's Warring States period.
Who is the father of multiplication?
The multiplication table is sometimes attributed to the ancient Greek mathematician Pythagoras (570–495 BC). It is also called the Table of Pythagoras in many languages (for example French, Italian and Russian), sometimes in English.
Who is father of Bodmas?
Achilles Reselfelt is a mathematician who invented BODMAS.
Why are multiplication tables important?
Memorising times tables makes it far quicker and easier for children to work out maths problems in their heads. Moving beyond using their fingers to work out answers, they'll be able to use their knowledge to quickly solve any multiplication questions.

We have some great news – Centauri now connects to our well established StarLab PC application!
What does it mean exactly?
Similar advanced features as can be performed on-board the feature rich Centauri, are now available for your convenience remotely on your PC.
Full-fledged advanced laser power/energy meter
The StarLab application together with a Centauri meter turns your PC into a full-fledged advanced laser power/energy meter at your fingertips on your PC keyboard..
StarLab provides graphic display of measurements in the form of line plots, histograms, bar charts, and simulated analog needles; measurements can be displayed separately or in multiple data sets on one graph.
- Conditioning of measurements (average, offset subtraction, scale factor)
- Power / energy density
- Pass / fail limits
- Multichannel comparisons
- User-defined mathematical equations
What's in it for you?
For instance, when using a Dual channel Centauri, StarLab enables the measurement from each sensors to be displayed and logged (on the PC) to provide temporal graphs of each channels. The time stamps of each channel are synchronized, so a user may tell how laser sources perform in time relative to each other. Starlab allows the use of mathematical functions between each sensor measurement (which, by the way, you can also do separately on-board the Centauri).


Brazilian labour market amidst Coronavirus pandemic: Impact and way forward
Workers sit idle in front of Copacabana Palace, a hotel in the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, facing Copacabana beach
By Dr Ian Prates*
The impact of the Coronavirus pandemic is diverse and every nation is combating it in its own fashion. It is important to note that the policy measures implemented during the pandemic are strongly related to the state of the economy before the pandemic. The state of the Brazilian labour market amid the pandemic cannot be seen in isolation from the pre-Covid times. Its story seen through the Gini Coefficient shows that in the 1980s to 1990s there was a period of great instability. As we entered the 21st century, there has been a significant decline in the Gini Coefficient. This hints at the improved labour market policies seen in the trend of formalization and a real increase in the minimum wage. But the 2014-2016 recession marks a reversal in the equalizing trend that Brazil had been on. In 2017, unemployment rose to 13.7% and the declining informality rate started increasing in 2016.
The household income, that has been rising steadily from the mid 2000's, has been strongly affected by the 2015-16 crisis, with a small recover after 2018. The coefficient of household income per capita follows a similar trend of increasing inequality from 2015 but a small decline in 2019. These suggest that the economy was on a recovery path since 2018. Having said that, the lives of the poorest 20% was downcast. While, between 2012-2014 the poorest ones increased their income relative to the richer ones, in 2015-2018, there was a significant drop in the income of the poor as compared to the richer.
The mercantilisation of social policies is one of the main reasons of the escalating inequality. The total budget of the Bolsa Família cash transfer program declined since 2014 and so did the number of families who were beneficiaries of the program – about 1.5 million families were excluded from the program. Additionally, the average benefit reduced in this period. At a time of crisis when the poorest were affected disproportionately, policies that hurt the affected section were implemented in the place of a recovery policy. During the time of the economic crisis, the government also decided to make the unemployment insurance coverage rules stricter causing an overall decline in the unemployment insurance coverage rate.
It is in such a setting that the pandemic hit Brazil, a moment when the bottom half of the population was in distress. Though the economic crisis had disappeared in 2018-2019, the lower half did not experience the same.
In the course of the pandemic, only 49.7% of the working-age population was in employment. Due to lockdown policies, labourers had to leave the labour market; about 10 million workers left the labour force during the pandemic. Although they were not officially considered unemployed, they were economically inactive and were outside the labour force. The improvement over the years in the size of the labour force reversed and in the second quarter of 2020, Brazil returned to the level it was before 2012. An additional 15.7% of the labour force chose to not seek employment due to the pandemic. The true expanded measure of unemployment stood at 27.7%.
The two important policy measures to fight the pandemic with regard to the labour market were the "Emergency Basic Income" and "Emergency Benefit for Preserving Employment and Income". The first was the Emergency Basic Income, the biggest welfare programme in Brazilian history, through which congress guaranteed income to the informal, unemployed, and poor families. The potential beneficiaries (over 60 million) received $110 as a cash transfer in the first three months and $55 in the next three months. Secondly, about 11 million beneficiaries in the formal labour market were benefited through the complementary benefit paid by the government to avoid lay-off of workers through the Emergency Benefit for Preserving Employment and Income.
The Emergency Basic Income policy was way too far from compensating for the negative effect of income lost due to unemployment. However, if it were not for the policy, the real income of the poorest families would not have improved. Since the value of the benefit was above the poverty line, those on the bottom 20% of the income distribution line were able to receive more income than they had before the pandemic. This change is temporary and the cause of joy to many will vanish as the new year begins. Brazil will be plunged into a new bitter reality where millions will be thrown into poverty. Brazil is bereft of the luxury to gradually reduce the value of the benefit because the public debt will overshoot 100% of the GDP, thus breaching the standard it set in 2016 to control rising debt.
Furthermore, the impact of the pandemic on the labour market has made racial and gender inequality evident. Blacks accounted for about two-thirds of those who lost their job, and more women were unemployed than men. Of the women who did not seek employment during the pandemic, 16.7% did so because of having to devote their time to care activities at home.
Moreover, the pandemic not only increased the existing inequality, but it also created new ones. One such is the rise in the digital and telework inequality. Only 10% of the people in Brazil worked from home. Analyzing the data across occupations shows that before the pandemic those who worked from home were mostly non-professionals like tailors, salesperson and bakers. Post the pandemic, professionals who previously did not work from home as much like lawyers, teachers, engineers, were the ones who worked mostly from home. This sheds light on the inequality that technology creates in jobs and reiterates that the future would also be shaped by the way digital inequalities are distributed among the Brazilian labour force.
There is a disproportionate effect between social groups and the way forward must take this element into consideration when redefining the social security system. The immediate future is bleak with regard to how the welfare scheme will be amended and then would follow a different scenario with greater crisis to face if the economy does not recover through other means.

Tuna, Albacore – US pole & troll (Bin'naga maguro)
Albacore tuna are a migratory, schooling fish with a high reproductive rate. Although the status of the population is uncertain, scientists recommend that fishing efforts remain stable or be reduced to maintain long-term abundance.
Agencies that manage albacore fisheries have capped fishing efforts. Pole and troll fishing for albacore cause no habitat damage and result in a relatively small amount of bycatch.

The Egyptian cabinet discussed Monday plans to build seawater desalination plants, as the country tries to address looming water scarcity.
Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly said the government has prepared a strategic plan to establish more desalination plants.
Egypt needs around 114 billion cubic meters of water annually, while it only has 74 billion meters available, said Minister of Water Resources and Irrigation Mohamed Abdel Aty in April.
The housing ministry's 2050 plan on seawater desalination was reviewed during a cabinet meeting on Sunday.
The ministry is aiming to produce six billion cubic meters of desalinated water per day, it explained.
Ministers of planning and housing, as well as the executive director of the Sovereign Fund of Egypt and the Fund officials, attended the meeting.
In February, President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi ordered the immediate construction of a wastewater treatment plant in al-Hamam area on the northern coast, with a daily capacity of six million cubic meters.
The new plant is set to receive wastewater gathered from the agricultural drainages in the northern Delta.
The project aims at reclaiming and cultivating around 500,000 feddans west of the Delta as part of the state's efforts to expand the agricultural areas nationwide and develop the Western Desert area.

Example Pivot Control for Windows Phone 7

 main section goes here

 options section goes here

 about section goes here
I followed you since your first mention about your pivot control. Thanks for great job! =)
But I have a little question.
Is there a possibility to make a binding to pages and page's contents?
To be more specific let's assume following example. I have products which grouped into several product groups (the number of them is not known at design time). And I want to show user a pivot control which displays each product group as a page and list products of selected group as page's content (ie as a listbox).
It would be great if you provide a little example of how can I do it with your control.
that is a interesting request.. right now the control is very much static.. it allows you to dynamically define pivot pages in XAML, but if it supported binding then it would need to be able to handle changes that might occur in the bound definition - it would have to know how to handle adding/removing pivot pages at runtime.. the current code constructs the UI in the control's Loaded event - so it is not possible to change the pivot pages beyond that..
the best you could do with the current tool is to construct the pivot pages programatically, and then add the pivot page to your UI.. here is an example of something like that:
// create a collection of pivot titles and corresponding UI content areas:
Dictionary pivotPages = new Dictionary();
pivotPages.Add("main", new TextBlock() { Text = "main section goes here" });
pivotPages.Add("options", new TextBlock() { Text = "options section goes here" });
pivotPages.Add("about", new TextBlock() { Text = "about section goes here" });
/// Method for setting up the pivot control and adding it to the stage from a pivot menu collection definition
private void CreateAndDisplayPivotControl(Dictionary pivotPages)
PivotControl pc = new PivotControl();
foreach (string menuTitle in pivotPages.Keys)
PivotPage pp = new PivotPage() { PageTitle = menuTitle, Content = pivotPages[menuTitle] };
that may not meet your need, but unfortunately there would be a lot of work trying to support binding so it's not something i'll be able to do for you.. i am going to be curious though if the final control supports dynamic binding of titles and content.. thanks for the comment!
Nice work Roger!
It worked right away. But I added a Storyboard that animates content inside one of the contentpages. But as soon as I start the Storyboard I get the message "2213 An error has occurred."
Did anyone experience this as well?
Mark Monster
ive run into that error a few times.. i dont exactly know how to solve it every time, but it seems it occurs when you have two different storyboards trying to modify the same object at the same time.. maybe try to group your objects into a grid and then animate against that grid instead of the main root of the page that the pivot control is trying to animate?
Thanks for your reply Roger. I tried your suggestion, but it didn't help. But still I just hope to get this control from the Microsoft Guys themselves :-). For now I have at least something to prototype.
Mark Monster
First of all, thanks for the control! However, i can't make a simple textbox to work properly inside of it. Let's start with xaml:
It looks perfectly in emulator and all the motions go smooth. Now let's get straight to the problem and add a bit of c# code:
private void Search(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
string text = SearchTerm.Text;
I'm getting a NullReferenceException for the SearchTerm.Text. Vs reacts as if SearchTerm TextBox doesn't exist at all... Is that just my mistake or there are some problem with this control?
[StackPanel HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Top" Orientation="Horizontal"]
[TextBox x:Name="SearchTerm" Margin="20,0,0,0" Width="275" TextWrapping="Wrap"/]
[Button x:Name="SearchButton" Width="150" Content="SEARCH" Click="Search"/]
oops, sorry for the code. Can't post it the other way :(
if it compiles, but then fails at runtime it may be that you are trying to access the SearchTerm textbox before InitializeComponent() has run - that would cause the value to still be null.. i dont think this issue is relative to the control, but hopefully that helps - if not see if you can host your code somewhere for me to download and look at.
I implemented this in a sample app that I have, and yeah, I was getting an unhandled ArgumentException when switching pages, so I had a look at the source and the only things I found (and subsequently altered) were:
1) You're initialising the PivotPages property in the DependencyProperty.Register() method which isn't really a problem on its own, but if multiple pivots are created (which probably won't happen... I'm not sure) then you'll end up with an unintended singleton which will cause issues. I was working on a layout-type control where I was getting very similar exceptions, so it's probably completely unrelated hehe :)
2) Changing that first property let me actually step through the code and it looks like almost everywhere you call UIElement.TransformToVisual(), you get an ArgumentException with some obscure stack trace staring you in the face. For the purposes of this control (before an official one comes out), the TransformToVisual() stuff didn't need to be there, so I removed it and the control's been behaving fine since then. I'm not sure why this exception gets thrown, these things with the really unhelpful messages get on my nerves hehe :)
Anyway, that's what I found. The control looks good but I created a panorama control too and I'm just gagging for them to release some official stuff :)
Hi, when using the pivot control and within a pivot page i have a list box. If I try to get a reference of that list box from code, the list box is never initialised. Its always null. What can i do to solve this?

Soil heat flux under irrigated, partially irrigated wheat and bare vertisol in relation to varying soil moisture and leaf area index at Pune
Keywords:Soil heat flux, Soil moisture, Wheat, Vertisol
Soil heat flux as a function of moisture content in the drying cycles both under irrigated and partially irrigated wheat and in bare black vertisol was studied to relate temporal changes in soil heat fluxes to changes in leaf area index (LAI), soil water content and meteorological parameters. Moisture content dropped as low as 1 to 5 percent by weight at surface layer and 5 to 10 percent by weight at subsurface layers when irrigation was shut off under partially irrigated plot. The peak weekly mean global, net and reflected radiation during the crop growing season in this semi-arid region goes as high as 655, 361 and 179 Wm-2 respectively in the year 1996-97 and 700, 366 and 137 Wm-2 respectively during the year 1997-98. Soil temperature at 1430 hours IST ranged from 27 to 40°C at the surface (5.0 cm) layer under irrigated condition. It was 7 to 10° C and 2 to 3° C higher in the surface and subsurface layers respectively under partially irrigated wheat during the drying cycle. The upward soil heat flux ranged from -3.3 to -29.7 Wm-2 at 0730 hours IST, whereas downward heat flux at 1430 hours IST ranged between 8.4 to 33.9 Wm-2 under irrigated condition. Under partially irrigated condition it varied from -0.7 to -9.2 Wm-2 at 0730 hours IST and from 10.4 to 20.9 Wm-2 at 1430 hours IST; whereas it varied from -4.2 to -17.6 Wm-2 at 0730 hours IST and 6.7 to 24.7 Wm-2 at 1430 hours IST, under bare soil. The maximum mean heat fluxes into 5-20 cm soil depth under irrigated, partially irrigated and the bare soil were 10.2, 5.0 and 6.5 Wm-2 and 9.2, 7.1, and 6.7 Wm-2 respectively in the years 1996-97 and 1997-98. Soil temperature at 1430 hours IST both for irrigated wheat and bare vertisol and global radiation with soil temperature at 0730 hours IST under partially irrigated wheat were found to be the best predictors of soil heat flux. The relationships between soil heat flux and soil water content at different depth intervals along with LAI and other meteorological parameters could be used for estimation of soil heat flux, both for irrigated and partially irrigated wheat and bare soil.

The Value of World's Paper Historical Data
Before the Internet came along, the primary vehicle for disseminating the comings and goings of any community was the newspaper. With the World's Paper archive, you can climb through a window into the past.
Whether you're looking for marriage announcements, death notices, obituaries, or feature stories about your ancestors, these archives can form a considerable part of any family history project.
So why else are these archives so valuable?
They add color to the stories of your family's past. Official government records tend to provide the basic facts and nothing more. Newspapers tell the story of figures in the community and give you a personal account of how your ancestors lived and what they did.
Furthermore, World's Paper historic newspapers may reveal through their announcements some of the relatives you didn't know about.
Countless GenealogyBank users have discovered family members they'd never heard of through searching the World's Paper database.
The historical data you uncover could form the foundation for additional research and further discovery.
How to Search the World's Paper Database
At GenealogyBank, we make the process of sifting through World's Paper historic online newspapers simple. It doesn't matter whether you're looking into your family history for the first time or whether you're an experienced researcher.
Select your desired newspaper collection and enter the last name of the relative for which you are researching. Press the "Search" button, and you'll receive a list of relevant records bearing your relative's name.
Of course, this is the most basic search of World's Paper historic newspapers you can make. You also need to know how to narrow down your results to ensure you have the right person.
Tens of thousands of Americans share the same name, so you need to be extremely careful not to make any mistakes.
Here's a step-by-step guide for performing an advanced search of Granville historic newspapers.
We also recommend downloading our free "Tips for Searching Newspapers" guide for even more useful strategies.
- Step One - Include the first, last, and any middle names of a specific relative.
- Step Two - Add in some keywords, such as the name of the town they lived in or the school they attended.
- Step Three - If you need to further narrow down your results, consider excluding certain keywords, such as those of nearby towns and schools.
- Step Four - Add in a year range to further hone in on a specific ancestor. This doesn't have to be exact.
- Step Five - Take advantage of filters to order results by best match, oldest, and newest. This can help you cut through any close match entries that don't match the men and women within your family tree.
Tips for a Successful World's Paper Archive Search
When dealing with common names, it can be difficult to find the right person amidst 330 years of U.S. history. Thankfully, there are multiple ways in which you can avoid adding people to your family tree who have no relation to you.
The problem lies within the way records were taken before modern recordkeeping standards were introduced. A newspaper editor likely recorded information from oral sources; therefore, they may have misspelled a name or made a blatant factual error.
Here are some more advanced tips for making sure you find the right ancestors via World's Paper historical data:
- Search for a relative by their initials. It was common practice for people to be recorded officially by the initials of their first and middle names.
- Female relatives were often recorded via their husband's name. Rather than searching for a female ancestor's name, try searching for their husband's name instead.
- Use common misspellings. One wrong initial could mean you miss that forgotten family member.
It can be time-consuming but incredibly exciting to come across family members you'd never heard of before.
The World's Paper archive can add some color to the names. Discover your story. Be amazed at what you find.

Clues and hints about the 19th Century lifestyle of Governor James Stirling and his cohorts have been literally dug up beneath the green grass of an old farm in Albany.
Archaeology students from the University of Western Australia have been on an extensive dig under the grounds of Old Farm, Strawberry Hill in Albany - the first ever farm in the colony of WA - established in 1827.
Student Corey Walsh said the search for clues is proving to be more involved than a simple dig.
"No it's not just a dig we're actually looking for evidence of the wall that used to make up governor Stirling's residence while he stayed here.
'We're also just he to get an understanding of how the Spencer family and the Bird family existed and lived here on site.
"We found a lot of pig and sheep bones which would show there's a kitchenary there and they've been butchering their own animals," he said.

text: The golden trout is a colorful salmonid native to the High Sierras of California, transplanted into high mountain lakes all across the west. It is a western species of salmonid that resembles, in many ways, a juvenile rainbow trout. In fact, some scientists consider it a subspecies of rainbow, while others maintain that its ability to breed true in mixed-species environments means it is a distinct species. The differences are significant, however. Goldens tend to live at high elevations and in pristine waters, often above 10,000 feet. It is marked by "parr marks" - vertical black blotches that other species of salmonid lose when they transform from juvenile parr into adult trout. The butter-gold color can be very striking.

Coexistence of humans and mobile robots
Pedestrian movement is considered to be influenced by the environment, the pedestrian's own intentions, and other pedestrians. Taking these effects into account, we aim to accurately predict the movement of pedestrians.
Prediction of pedestrian movement considering the relationship with others in the vicinity
Pedestrians move under the influence of others around them, and the degree of this influence depends on the relationship between the pedestrians. We propose a method for learning such interactions with others in the vicinity using machine learning approaches to predict pedestrians.
 - Jiaxu Wu, Hanwool Woo, Yusuke Tamura, Alessandro Moro, Stefano Massaroli, Atsushi Yamashita, and Hajime Asama: Pedestrian Trajectory Prediction Using BiRNN Encoder-Decoder Framework, Advanced Robotics, Vol.33, No.18, pp.956-959, 2019. doi:10.1080/01691864.2019._PHONE_
Detection of "smartphone zombies" from a mobile robot
With the spread of smartphones in recent years, smartphone zombies have become a major social problem. When someone's attention is focused on his/her smartphone, he/she lose attention to his/her surroundings and run the risk of colliding with others. We have proposed a method to detect such high-risk pedestrians by using a LiDAR mounted on a mobile robot.
 - Jiaxu Wu, Yusuke Tamura, Yusheng Wang, Hanwool Woo, Alessandro Moro, Atsushi Yamashita, and Hajime Asama: Smartphone Zombie Detection from LiDAR Point Cloud for Mobile Robot Safety, IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters, Vol.5, No.2, pp.2256-2263, 2020. doi:10.1109/LRA.2020._PHONE_
Prediction of pedestrian movement based on environmental information
For example, when walking down a straight corridor, a human walks in an approximate straight line along the direction of the corridor. In this way, humans move in a way that is influenced by the shape of their environment. Also, when you walk in an office, for example, the meaning of the environment is greatly influenced by what rooms are in the vicinity, where the elevators are, where the restrooms are, and so on. Therefore, it is important to consider this environmental information in order to accurately predict the movement of pedestrians.
We have proposed a method to accumulate the movement characteristics of pedestrians in the environment by using sensor information installed in the environment, and use it for movement prediction.
 - Shunsuke Hamasaki, Yusuke Tamura, Atsushi Yamashita and Hajime Asama: Prediction of Human's Movement for Collision Avoidance of Mobile Robot, Proceedings of the 2011 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Biomimetics, pp._PHONE_, Phuket, Thailand, December 2011. doi:10.1109/ROBIO.2011._PHONE_
Pedestrian behavior model considering intention
Humans are thought to be walking while switching their intentions, such as avoiding or following others in the vicinity, depending on the situation of others and the environment around them. We extend the Social Force Model1 and propose a model that generates behaviors while generating sub-goals according to the switching of such walking intentions.
 1. A model in which pedestrians are regarded as a point mass and move according to virtual forces from the environment, others, and destinations acting on them. (Helbing & Molnár, 1995)。


IELTS Cue Card Sample 132 - Describe a course you would like to take if you have time
Describe a course you would like to take if you have time.
You should say:
 - what kind of course it is
 - where you would do this course
 - how you would take this course
and explain how you would benefit from taking this course.
Model Answer:
If I get time I would like to learn the computer graphics designing course. It is a combination of learning some theoretical aspect of graphics designing and then hands on Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator. These two are widely used image editing and graphics designing tools that emphasising on computer design and website designing.
I would like to get admitted in (...say an institution name...) who offers a professional course on graphics designing. They have a good reputation of teaching the course participants accurately and effectively. Since I have offices/ classes till the evening, I would like to enrol in the evening course that starts after 7.00 pm. The course fee is reasonable and I would have the option to pay the fees in 3-4 installments and that would be very convenient for me.
This should not be a very difficult course for me as I already have some background on computing and graphics designing. But I will have to concentrate on the course and maintain the regularity. This course would be a 6 months course and that's why I will have to adjust my time during this 6 months period. Another thing that required a course participant is to practice a lot. Since this is a creative task and the course teacher would show us how to do something, the course takers have to work hard to improve their skills and creativity.
This course would be helpful for me to do better in my career. Graphics design is required for many jobs and knowing it would be a great advantage for me. Besides, If I can become a prominent graphics designer, I would be able to work for clients from different countries as a freelancer beside my day job.

Recently an important line of research using laboratory experiments has provided a new potential reason for why we observe gender imbalances in labor markets: men are more competitively inclined than women. Whether, and to what extent, such preferences yield differences in naturally-occurring labor market outcomes remains an open issue. We address this question by exploring job-entry decisions in a natural field experiment where we randomized nearly 7,000 interested job-seekers into different compensation regimes. By varying the role that individual competition plays in setting the wage, we are able to explore whether competition, by itself, can cause differential job entry. The data highlight the power of the compensation regime in that women disproportionately shy away from competitive work settings. Yet, there are important factors that attenuate the gender differences, including whether the job is performed in teams, whether the job task is female-oriented, and the local labor market.

As anyone who is serious about sports will know, health and safety is a vital part of enjoying sports safely. It is important to be aware of health and safety issues within sport to allow you to enjoy your workouts and sports effectively, without putting yourself or others in danger.
Within sports, health and safety can apply to both the equipment that you use and the way you use and look after your own body, so be aware of this before you embark upon a new sport or fitness regime.
With hockey, as with all competitive sports, being aware of and respectful of other players is imperative when you are playing. Following the rules and not putting other players in danger makes the game much more fun for everybody involved and means you are all at much less risk of accident or injury.
Knowing how to use sporting equipment is another important factor within sports and fitness. You might not necessarily need a manual handling certificate to play your favourite sport, but it is important to be aware of the basics.
If you are a real fan of a particular sport and want to coach or train others, then online health and safety courses related to sports will be especially useful for you. The last thing you want to do is put yourself or others in danger when you are coaching or training them in your favourite sport.
You will be able to do many of the necessary health and safety courses online but some training you may need to attend college for, or undertake practical elements. Whether you are interested in sports training or coaching or are simply a fitness fanatic who wishes to get the most out of your workouts, sports health and safety is an area which you simply can't afford to overlook.

text: [en] T2 control charts are used to monitor a process when more than one quality variable associated with the process is being observed. Recent studies have shown that using variable sampling size (VSS) schemes results in charts with more statistical power for detecting small to moderate shifts in the process mean vector. This paper presents an economic-statistical design of T2 control charts with variable sample size and control limits (VSSC). We build a cost model of a VSSC T2 control chart for the purpose of economic-statistical design using the model of Costa and Rahim (J. Appl. Stat. 28:875–885, 2001). This cost model constructed involves the cost of false alarms, the cost of finding and eliminating an assignable cause, the cost associated with production in an out-of-control state, and the cost of sampling and testing. We optimize this model using a genetic algorithm approach. Furthermore, VSSC and VSS T2 charts are compared with respect to the expected cost per unit time.

Why would you set-up a backup?
In the case that you lose your data you can easily import your backupdata back into Salesforce. To generate backup data, Salesforce offers an automated backup export on a weekly or monthly basis depending on your edition. You can export all your organization's data into a set of comma-separated values (CSV) files.
What to take into account before setting up an automated backup
- Users with the "Weekly Export" permission can view all exported data and all custom objects and fields in the Export Service page. This permission is granted by default only to the System Administrator profile because it enables wide visibility.
- Selecting 'Include images', documents, and attachments' and 'Include Chatter files and Salesforce CRM Content document versions' increases data export processing time.
How to setup an automated backup export
- From Setup, enter Data Export in the Quick Find box, then select Data Export and Schedule Export.
- Select the desired encoding for your export file.
- Select Include images, documents, and attachments and Include Chatter files and Salesforce CRM Content document versions to include these items in your export data.
- Select Replace carriage returns with spaces to have spaces instead of carriage returns or line breaks in your export files. This selection is useful if you plan to use your export files for importing or other integrations.
- If you're scheduling your export, select the frequency (only available for organizations with monthly exports), start and end dates, and time of day for your export.
- Under Exported Data, select the types of data to include in your export. We recommend that you select Include all data if you are not familiar with the terminology used for some of the types of data. Note the following:
- Formula and roll-up summary fields are always excluded from exports.
- If your organization uses divisions, data from all divisions is included in the export.
- If your organization uses person accounts and you are exporting accounts, all account fields are included in the account data.
- If your organization uses person accounts and you are exporting contacts, person account records are included in the contact data. However, the contact data only includes the fields shared by contacts and person accounts.
- For information on field limitations, see the Salesforce Field Reference Guide.
- Click Start Export or Save.
Salesforce creates a zip archive of CSV files and emails you when it's ready. Exports complete as soon as possible, however we can't guarantee the date and time of completion. Large exports are broken up into multiple files. Follow the link in the email or click Data Export to download the zip file. Zip files are deleted 48 hours after the email is sent. The 48-hour time limit doesn't include weekends, so if your download file is ready on Thursday at 4 p.m., that file isn't deleted until Monday at 4 p.m.

comparing 5 traces to a single "base" trace. The method of comparison was to modify the contents of each 0x10 byte block in the header in the range of wrapped_thing and signature in turn, then mux the resulting trace with the base trace. This allows easy experimentation with baudline. As shown, baudline is actually performing subtraction between "channels" to produce the useful output.
This immediately gives good information about what a block looks like in the spectrogram, the time taken to process it, the fact that modifications to a single block don't have much influence on successive blocks, and most importantly, that we can feed arbitrary input into some decryption step. This implies the signature check of the header is done after decryption of wrapped_thing.
Digging into the crypto
While the above seems to bode well, there's actually a snag. It appears the bootrom uses wrapped_thing as input to a block cipher and then signature checks the header. So it seems possible to recover the key used with wrapped_thing, however it's not clear if this will give us all information needed to decrypt the ipl body. Additionally, the header is signature checked, so we can't use an improper key to decrypt an otherwise valid body, then have EMC jump into garbage and hope for the best.
In any case, I decided to try for recovery of the key used with wrapped_thing and hope I'd be able to figure out how to turn that into decryption of the body.
Baby's first DPA
Before attempting key recovery, one must first locate the exact locations in power traces which can be used to identify the cipher and extract information about the key. Starting from not much info (just know it's a 0x10 byte block cipher), we can guess it's probably AES and try to see if it makes sense. The method to do this is essentially the same as Differential Power Analysis: identify the probable location of the first sbox lookup, take a bunch of traces with varying input, then apply sum of absolute differences to determine if the acquired traces "look like" AES.
Fortunately, this process yielded very straightforward results:
(Sorry, you'll probably need to open the images at full resolution to inspect them) ^ High level view of a complete block being passed through the cipher. If you squint you may be able to discern 10 rounds. The top is a singular raw trace, while the bottom group plots the sum of differences between all traces. ^ Closer view of the sum of differences.
The above already makes it very likely to be AES. However, there is an additional check which may be done, which allows determining if the operation is encryption or decryption: ^ The same sum of differences, but making it obvious when, exactly, each bit position (of the input data) is used by the cipher. This can be easily correlated to most AES software implementations. For example, mbedtls:
_TAG_ AES_RROUND(X0,X1,X2,X3,Y0,Y1,Y2,Y3) \
{ \
 X0 = *RK++ ^ AES_RT0( ( Y0 ) & 0xFF ) ^ \
 AES_RT1( ( Y3 >> 8 ) & 0xFF ) ^ \
 AES_RT2( ( Y2 >> 16 ) & 0xFF ) ^ \
 AES_RT3( ( Y1 >> 24 ) & 0xFF ); \
//...
// in mbedtls_internal_aes_decrypt(...)
GET_UINT32_LE( X0, input, 0 ); X0 ^= *RK++;
GET_UINT32_LE( X1, input, 4 ); X1 ^= *RK++;
GET_UINT32_LE( X2, input, 8 ); X2 ^= *RK++;
GET_UINT32_LE( X3, input, 12 ); X3 ^= *RK++;
for (i = (ctx->nr >> 1) - 1; i > 0; i--) {
 AES_RROUND(Y0, Y1, Y2, Y3, X0, X1, X2, X3);
With some squinting, it can be seen that the byte accesses generated by this first sbox lookup for decryption (and not encryption) matches the above plot.
Recovering the key encryption key
With the cipher used to process wrapped_thing more or less determined, we can switch to Correlation Power Analysis and attempt key recovery using only the section of traces which concern the first sbox lookup.
Much time passes. Much confusion about how to filter traces ensues.
Eventually, after tweaking the CPA method a bit and applying some filtering to ignore noise, the key recovery was successful! The correlation needed to be changed to use AES T-tables (the logic for which is actually described in the original AES proposal) instead of the standard inverted sbox approach.
The hypothesized key was determined to be correct by running it though possible key derivation schemes which the bootrom would use, and then attempting to decrypt the first few blocks of the ipl body with the result. The winning combination was:
# process blocks previously named wrapped_thing and signature
# emc_header_key is the value recovered with CPA
def emc_decrypt_header(hdr):
 return hdr[:0x30] + aes128_cbc_iv_zero_decrypt(emc_header_key, hdr[0x30:0x80])
hdr = emc_decrypt_header(
body_aes_key = hdr[0x30:0x40]
body_len = struct.unpack('

The luckiest day of the year - St Patrick's Day - is just around the corner!
The masses will be celebrating with corned beef, cabbage, Guinness, and endless smiles. Whatever your plans - why not order a Celtic-inspired ring so you can carry the Irish spirit with you all year.
Celtic history and culture intertwined with religious beliefs shaped the intricate patterns commonly seen in Celtic jewellery today. The distinctive geometric styles, with their rich histories, each tell a story.
Meaningful Celtic Patterns
The designs used in Celtic artwork and jewellery might look to be almost random at times. But every aspect of the geometric patterns is full of meaning.
The Celtic Love Knot
The Celtic Oval Knot, also known as the Celtic Love Knot, is one of the oldest and simplest Celtic designs. It's rumoured to go all the way back to 2,500 BCE.
Celts exchanged these knots on their wedding day, just as we do today with rings. The design represents the enduring love and connection between two people. (Awww!)
Arguably the most recognizable Celtic symbol, the Trinity Knot (also known as the Triquetra) is said to symbolize the Holy Trinity.
Pre-Christianity, the symbol was said to represent the three stages of a woman's life: The Maiden, The Mother, and The Crone. It makes a powerful statement about female empowerment and connection to the moon.
The Morrigan Titanium Ring is very dainty, but it's made from aircraft-grade Titanium so it's also very durable.
The Infinity Symbol
The mathematical concept of infinity is a relatively new discovery when compared to the rich history of the spiritual concept of infinity.
Historically, circles and Celtic knots have been seen to represent the 'endless' relationship between humans and the world around us. It's little wonder the symbol has maintained its meaning and popularity throughout the ages.
The Fairy Titanium Ring is a Celtic-inspired ring that represents infinity. More complex than the single infinity symbol jewellery, this pattern is as intricate as it is delicate.
Get Your Celtic-Inspired Titanium Ring Today
Celebrate St Paddy's Day with a Celtic-inspired ring. Treat yourself or someone you love to a ring that celebrates your love, affection, friendship, and relationship to our magnificent planet!
If you have a different design in mind, we're happy to work with you on your own custom ring.
Oh - and for anyone thinking about calling it St Patty's Day - read this PSA on PaddynotPatty.com before you do.

Gamgee.
- Any dialectical difference is completely removed. Sam talks the same English as the other Hobbits.
- In the two episodes of "The Adventures of Tom Bombadil", Jonathan Adams' portrayal of Sam Gamgee is close to over-the-top rustic. He speaks in a grumbling, low voice.
- Considerable attention was paid to the dialects characters speak with and cast members trained extensively with dialogue coaches. Hobbits in the films speak with basically an English Midlands accent, because Tolkien said that the Shire was based largely on his boyhood home in the Midlands. Of the main Hobbit characters:
- Sam Gamgee speaks with the working-class rustic Midlands accent which was used as the standard for all the other minor Hobbit characters.
- Bilbo and Frodo Baggins, because they are both book-educated, speak with a slightly more refined and less pronounced accent.
- The actor who played Pippin, Billy Boyd, is Scottish, and originally he was supposed to speak like the others, but eventually it was decided that it was adversely affecting his comic timing. The production team then invented the justification that the Took region of the Shire is described as very hilly, so much so that when Saruman's ruffians take over the rest of the Shire they are successfully repulsed from Took-land due to its rough terrain, and thus is it loosely analogous to Scotland. Thus, it was decided that Tooks should speak with a Scottish accent as well, and Boyd was allowed to use his normal Scottish accent when portraying Pippin for the entire trilogy of films.
- Meriadoc Brandybuck is described as being the linguistic "oddball" of the group: he was not from any of the four farthings of the Shire, but a Brandybuck from Buckland, and thus is from a region apart. To reflect this, his accent is noticeably distinct from the other Hobbits seen on-screen, something of an invention between actor Dominic Monaghan and the dialect coaches, to reflect his unique origin.

17th Century Ireland – the Dynamics of Myth and Fact added to the Essays collection.
The essay accounts for the major events and changes that took place in Ireland during the first half of the 17th century and compares them with modern perceptions of this period in an attempt to understand the dynamics of myth and fact in present-day tensions in Northern Ireland.
The Luddites added to the Essays collection.
In the midst of the war between England and revolutionary France, a minority of craftsmen rose up in revolt in the heart of industrial Northern England. They were named the "the Luddites". Indignant at seeing their livelihoods and freedoms threatened by the increased use of machinery, they protested, rioted, and carried out sabotage.
The essay accounts for the conditions and events which led to the activities of the Luddites, the nature of those activities and the organisation of the Luddites, and how the British government responded to the situation.


Eastern Region (Iceland)
Eastern Region (Icelandic: Austurland) is a region in eastern Iceland. Its area is 22,721 square kilometres (8,773 sq mi) and in 2020 its population was 13,173. The Eastern Regions has a jagged coastline of fjords, referred to as the Eastfjords (Austfirðir).

Aircraft operators and organisations involved in aviation safety will soon have access to a new method of submitting written notifications to the ATSB of aviation safety matters.
This method will allow operators and organisations to report out of their own safety management systems or reporting software and directly transfer accident and incident notifications to the ATSB notification system.
This new option is set to significantly improve the way aviation transport safety matters are reported to the ATSB.
How it works
To ensure that accident and incident data reported to the ATSB is compatible with the ATSB's notification system, we have developed an 'XML schema' that is available upon request through the ATSB website.
The schema will provide a framework for organisations and software vendors to develop and automate accident and incident reporting solutions in a format compatible with the ATSB notification system.
Before we roll out the schema, we're offering an opportunity for interested parties to review and evaluate a draft version.
We're particularly keen to engage with software vendors and operators of safety management systems who are looking to either update existing systems or build new systems that are capable of using the ATSB's schema for reporting accidents and incidents.
Once the final schema is released, the ATSB will provide a section on its website where software vendors and safety management system providers can apply to have their compatible reporting systems listed as being 'ATSB Reporting Compliant'.
This listing option will be conditional on the ATSB validating that the outputs of any reporting system are fully compliant with schema and the ATSB's notification system.
The ATSB's current options for reporting incidents and accidents include a web form, email, fax, post and electronic formats. Within the next 12 months, the ATSB will move towards only accepting electronic formats for the submission of written accident and incident notifications.
This means that aircraft operators and organisations will eventually need to report aviation transport safety matters to the ATSB via their compatible reporting solution or through the ATSB's web notification form. The ATSB will keep you updated on the new reporting requirements over the coming months.
Irrespective of the schema's implementation, users need to ensure that they are compliant with all aspects of the aviation accident and incident reporting requirements of the Transport Safety Investigation Act 2003 or any other applicable statutory instrument.
Prior to receiving the schema details, users will need to accept the license terms and conditions associated with its use, which will be supplied by the ATSB.
A licence for use of the schema will be provided in accordance with the terms of Creative Commons Licence Attribution CC BY 3.0.

The Uniting Church Synod of NSW/ACT has a vision for our church to be a transforming presence for the common good in the Murray Darling Basin. This presence includes pastoral care for the people and a prophetic voice for the reconciliation and renewal of Creation.
The Synod passed a resolution for At the 2013 Synod gathering for continued ministry in this regard, following a visit by the Moderator (then the Revd. Dr Brian Brown) to the Riverina during the time of debate about the draft Murray Darling Basin Plan, and a subsquent consultation that he facilitated with a diversity of people from across our church.
The Uniting Church Murray Darling Basin group is now taking this ministry forward.
- Watch this video about why the Uniting Church is involved in questions of water reform and other issues facing the Basin
- Read the Synod resolution and access a report prepared for the 2013 Synod
- Read about the purpose of the Murray Darling Basin Group
The group is now involved in two major projects - tours in various parts of the Basin, and the Faith in a Basin Future project in the Southern Basin
Murray Darling Basin tours
The aims of the tours are:
- To enable city dwellers to visit the MDB and learn first-hand about rural issues.
- To build connections between city and country and between rural and urban people.
- To listen to farmers, scientists and other concerned participants who connect with the UCA MDB group to assist people to become informed about the moral and ethical complexities of the situation.
- To give an opportunity for people living in the MDB (including churches) to be heard and for the wider church to support people and churches in the Basin who are in the midst of significant change.
The first tour, from Albury to Mildura, was held in September 2014. It included public forums, meetings with churches over a meal, visits to irrigation and dry land farms, eco tourism, visits to historical sites, time with indigenous groups and more.

Faith in a Basin Future project
"Faith in a Basin Future" is a community development project, working together with young people to foster vitality, resilience and sustainability in the Murray Darling Southern Basin. Teams in communities along the Murrumbidgee and Murray Rivers will:
- Find out what makes their community vital and how it is changing socially and economically and culturally.
- Look for opportunities that emerge for their community to develop and nurture sustainable futures.
- Identify and plan for a specific project that they agree can strengthen the vitality of their community as it adapts to the future.

City Systems is a multi-year project conducted by the Institute without Boundaries (IwB) at George Brown College in Toronto, Canada. The project helps students studying 'Interdisciplinary Design Strategy' understand and design more resilient cities during an intensive, hands-on project year. The class of 2011-12 focused on resolving the challenges facing the edge city of Markham, a car-centric suburban community at the edge of Toronto, as it continues to experience rapid population growth. The resulting project, called COLAB, includes a proposal for a new kind of neighborhood: a model sustainable community supported by a 3-way partnership between municipality, local businesses and residents.
The article above was submitted to us by an Inhabitat reader. Want to see your story on Inhabitat? Send us a tip by following this link. Remember to follow our instructions carefully to boost your chances of being chosen for publishing!
A pedestrian plaza and convergence hub are at the heart of the plan. The plaza acts as a focus for community gatherings such as weekend markets, cultural celebrations, public art exhibitions, and the demonstration and testing of new products developed at the convergence hub.
The convergence hub is a change lab that offers shared amenities and office spaces to small and medium-sized businesses specializing in research, demonstration, and commercialization of sustainable technologies and services. The surrounding areas include test spaces for sustainable technologies as they are developed, and an urban farm and nature preserve that teaches local residents about native wildlife and sustainable agriculture practice.
This hub supports and draws new creative people and industries to the region while also enhancing the quality of life of its residents and visitors. Explore the project in detail to learn how a small team of inter-disciplinary students came to understand edge city systems, and how they developed this and other strategies and solutions for a revitalization plan for Markham.


20 Best Flag Quotes
As words rarely have a symbol designed to represent them, it is common to use flags to identify them. But one of the most popular uses of a flag is to symbolize a nation or country, and some national flags have inspirational meaning in design. Let's take a look at the following flag quotes and flag hoisting quotes.
The Philippine flag is a powerful flag.
The Philippines flag should stay up high.
The Philippines flag has waved for a long time.
Let all flags rise high.
It's not about the flag, it's about what it stands for.
Flags shouldn't be used to cover people's crimes.
The flag represents what you're passionate about.
The Philippines flag is a symbol of sacrifice.
Every nation is seen within its flag.
We should accept our differences and hoist the flag.
The meaning of the flag is nothing without the land.
The Philippines flag is a special-looking one.
Even in the Olympics, flags are of high significance.
The Philippines flag is a unique one.
A flag is a representation of freedom and unity.
There should be only one flag for the whole world.
All parties should have and hoist the same flag.
No one should dilute what the flag stands for.
The Philippines flag carries a lot of meanings.

For more than 5 years Playscan AB has been actively providing Responsible Gambling solutions. Professor of Clinical Psychology at Stockholm University, Per Carlbring, with his extensive expertise within online-based self-help programs, has received funding for an independent evaluation of Playscan™.
– Playscan is a very interesting tool and we need to evaluate and analyze the true value of Playscan™ as a proactive Responsible Gambling Solution. We need to find out if and in what way it works, says Carlbring.
Per Carlbring states that it is vitally important to evaluate the effectiveness of Responsible Gambling solutions to understand the social gains and impact it might have. We need to deepen, Carlbring continues, our knowledge and methods about how to reduce the negative effects of gambling.
The Playscan CEO Ann-Sofie Olsson welcomes the evaluation and thinks that we all gain valuable information through new scientific research on how to prevent unhealthy gambling behavior. She says:
– We do recognize the importance of an independent evaluation to diagnose the reliability of what we do and understand after our 5 years in this field.


text: Early research examined the direct effect of perceived connectivity (PC) on intention to adopt information systems. In this study, we extend that research stream by examining the mediating effects of perceived enjoyment (PE) and perceived playfulness (PP) on the relationship between PC and the intention to use social media within the workplace. To test our proposed model, we collected data from 2,556 social media users from Australia, Canada, India, the UK, and the US. We applied the REBUS-PLS algorithm, a response-based method for detecting unit segments in PLS path modelling and assessing the unobserved heterogeneity in the data sample. Based on the strength of effects, the algorithm automatically detected two groups of users sharing the same intentions to use social media. A post hoc analysis of each group was done using contextual and demographic variables including geographic location, country, age, education and gender. Implications for practice and research are discussed.

jsvutil
A Node.js utility wrapper for the JSON Schema Validator (JSV).
Overview
JSV is an excellent module by Gary Court. This jsvutil module provides a simple framework around JSV for validating JSON instances and checking JSON schemas.
Features
This module augments JSV with the following features:
 1. A validate function that combines JSV report errors into a single Error exception instance.
 2. Applies any default values in the schema to the instance being validated.
 3. A check function that validates a schema.
 4. Supports callback functions as well as standard exceptions (useful in Node.js environments).
Installation
$ npm install jsvutil
Examples
The following two examples illustrate how a configuration file can be validated. Note that the validate function applies the default values in the schema so that after validation, the config object returned by the validate function may be different than the one read using the require function.
Using Exceptions
var jsvutil = require('jsvutil')
var config = require('./config.json');
var schema = require('./schema.json');
try {
 config = jsvutil.validate(config, schema);
 console.log('config file is valid');
} catch (e) {
 console.error(e.message);
 process.exit(1);
}
// Use the config object...
Using Callbacks
var jsvutil = require('jsvutil')
var config = require('./config.json');
var schema = require('./schema.json');
jsvutil.validate(config, schema, function (err, config) {
 if (err) {
 console.error(e.message);
 process.exit(1);
 } else {
 console.log('config file is valid');
 }
});
// Use the config object...
API
This section specifies the Application Programming Interface (API) for the jsvutil package. The API consists of the validate and check functions.
Important: If the instance or schema parameter is a string, then it is parsed as JSON text using the JSON.parse function. Otherwise, it must be a JSON-compatible JavaScript object or array. This is consistent with RFC 4627 and inconsistent with ECMAScript 5 § 15.12, which allows strings as top level productions.
The optional callback function complies with Node.js conventions. The first argument is either an error object on failure or null on success. The second argument is the equivalent return value of the function.
validate (function)
validate(instance, schema, [cb])
Validates the specified instance against the specified schema. The return value (or callback value) is the JSON instance with any schema default values applied to any unset instance values. The original instance parameter is not modified by this function.
Parameters:
 - instance - {String|Object|Array} The JSON instance to validate. The instance is parsed using the JSON.parse function if it is a string.
 - schema - {String|Object} The JSON schema against which to validate the instance. The schema is parsed using the JSON.parse function if it is a string.
 - [cb] - {Function} The optional cb(err, instance) callback function.
Returns:
 - {Object|Array} The validated JSON instance with any schema default values applied to any unset instance values.
Errors:
 - Throws an error (or passes it to the callback function) if the specified JSON instance cannot be validated.
check (function)
check(schema, [cb])
Checks that the specified schema is valid.
Parameters:
 - schema - {String|Object} The schema to check. The schema is parsed using the JSON.parse function if it is a string.
 - [cb] - {Function} The optional cb(err, schema) callback function.
Returns:
 - {Object} The JSON schema on success.
Errors:
 - Throws an error (or passes it to the callback function) if the specified JSON schema is invalid.

Manufacturer ID Number
DCCWiki, a community DCC encyclopedia.
Jump to: navigation, search
Summary: The Manufacturer ID is a predetermined value programmed into the decoder at the point of manufacture which identifies who made the decoder. It only identifies a manufacturer, not the type of decoder.
NMRA Manufacturer ID Numbers
As part of the NMRA DCC specifications, each manufacturer is assigned a number, or Manufacturer ID. This identifies the decoder's manufacturer. The same way your car's VIN has codes to identify the manufacturer/country, which are assigned by the Society of Automotive Engineers.
This info is stored in CV (Configuration Variable) #8. The manufacturer may store a version number in CV #7.
That number is burned into the programming of the decoder during manufacture, and is used to identify who made a decoder. Often, DCC equipped locomotives don't identify the OEM multifunction decoder supplier in their instructions, so this is a way to determine what was installed. Additional steps may be required to further identify the type and model of the decoder, using the manufacturer's instructions.
The complete list can be found at the NMRA site, DCC Manufacturers ID Numbers. The NMRA list would be the most up to date reference on manufacturer ID numbers.
For example, number 11 is NCE, and 141 means Throttle-Up! (also known as Soundtraxx.) Public Domain/Do-it-Yourself decoders will report back 13.
JMRI
DP-UnknownDecoder.png
NMRA Manufacturer ID: 18
Unknown Decoder under JMRI
If a decoder reports as a Massooth Elektronik GmbH (and it is not), the answer is that JMRI's Preferences/Defaults has the "Programmer" set to "Internal" or a Simulator connection (in Preferences->Connections).
Internal or Simulator connections always return 123 for every CV read.
Decoder Identification
The JMRI team has put together a comprehensive listing of Decoder Identifications by Manufacturer or OEM
Decoder ID Page at JMRI
NMRA Manufacturer ID list S-9.2.2 Appendix A: Manufacturer ID codes as assigned by the NMRA
Soundtraxx Decoder Identification
If the decoder is a known Soundtraxx product, see the SoundTraxx Product Identification guide.
This guide covers the older Tsunami products, newer ones may be more difficult. For more information read the Soundtraxx article.
ESU
Identifying an ESU multifunction decoder can be a very involved process. It is much more efficient to use DecoderPro or ESU's LokProgrammer, as they will deliver an accurate report in seconds. ESU has a large number of variations meaning that determining the decoder model can be a long and complex process to manually go through.
Always use the latest versions of the software to get the most up to date decoder definitions.

are particularly noisy and generate too many useless alerts. You can disable a specific rule by commenting out that rule in the rules file. Snort will ignore that rule the next time it executes the file.
As new attacks are released, you'll need to update your rules files. The best resource for new Snort rules is the Web site. That Web site doesn't have an automatic update, so you'll need to check for updates regularly and whenever a new serious vulnerability or exploit appears.
Step 6. Set Up the Alerts and Logs
As I mentioned earlier, Snort supports logging to MySQL, ODBC-compliant, SQL Server, and Oracle databases. You simply select the appropriate database type during the installation of Snort. For the purposes of keeping this article brief, let's move on to Snort's default text-file logging options and its ability to log to the Windows event log.
When you previously used the Snort command to start the NIDS, the -A console switch told Snort to display its alerts on screen. If you prefer to send the alerts to a text file, you can change this switch to either -A fast or -A full, depending on the type of logging you want. The full option provides a verbose amount of detail on multiple lines in a text file named alerts.ids in the log file directory path (which the -l switch defines). This logging type provides a rich level of detail, but in noisy networks, the detail is a bit much to work through visually. In noisy networks, you should use the fast option, which prompts Snort to post to alerts.ids a single line that provides the key details of the questionable traffic. Personally, I find the fast option easier to work with than the full option when I'm logging to a text file.
The current version of Snort lets you log to the Windows event log. Given that many organizations have already invested in centralized event monitoring, logging, and collection tools, this logging capability is a great add-on for Windows environments.
To send alerts to the Application event log of the system on which Snort is running, you use the -E switch (no options are necessary) instead of the -A switch. Figure 5 shows what a Snort event—in this case, the attempted cmd.exe exploit—looks like when it's been posted to the Application log. The Windows event provides the same level of detail as the console screen.
An NIDS doesn't do much good if you're looking at the event logs (or text logs) only once or twice a week. When something is happening on your network, you need to know as soon as possible. If you have a centralized event monitoring and management system, you can have new events generate notifications through email, a pager, or another medium. However, if you don't have a system like this in place, don't worry. NETIKUS.NET offers a wonderful freeware package called EventSentry Light that you can use to send notifications.
EventSentry Light, which you can download from, is the trial version of EventSentry. Many thanks are due to the folks at EventSentry for making a freeware version of such a powerful application. Through EventSentry Light, you can have the system monitor your event logs and automatically email you the details about any Snort event posted to the log. Figure 6 shows the email message about the alerts for the attempted cmd.exe exploit. EventSentry Light emailed this message to me moments after I made the attack.
As I mentioned previously, Snort typically generates a lot of noise, which can cause your event logs to quickly fill up with notifications. Keep this fact in mind when you're making such decisions as how large to make the event log files and how you want to rotate them. To prevent EventSentry Light from cluttering up your mailbox with all of those alerts, you can implement a pattern-matching filter that specifically looks for key strings. For example, I set up a filter to search for the string \[Priority: 1\] in the text of events.
Step 7. Run as a Service
After Snort is up and running, you'll probably want to run it as a service instead of logging on to the desktop each time you need to start the program. If you launch Snort with the /SERVICE and /INSTALL parameters (along with the other command-line parameters you would typically use), Snort configures itself as a Windows service. As such, it'll start automatically when Windows starts, without any user intervention.
The Next Level: Add-Ons
Snort is a full-featured application. However, you might encounter situations in which you need to take your Snort installation to the next level. For example, if you have multiple NIDSs spread throughout your network, you might prefer to use a GUI to manage Snort. Add-ons that provide this capability include Engage Security's IDScenter and Activeworx's IDS Policy Manager. Or, suppose that you need to do some data mining on your alert data. One add-on that lets you review and analyze logged data is Carnegie Mellon University's Analysis Console for Intrusion Databases (ACID).
Knock Out Attacks
Snort is a highly capable application that's kind to your IT budget. If you pair Snort with a powerful event monitoring application such as EventSentry Light, you've got the one-two punch to knock out attacks on your network before they can do significant harm.

Relatively dominated representations
Annales de l'Institut Fourier, Volume 71 (2021) no. 5, pp. 2169-2235.
Anosov representations give a higher-rank analogue of convex cocompactness in a rank-one Lie group which shares many of its good geometric and dynamical properties; geometric finiteness in rank one may be seen as a controlled weakening of convex cocompactness to allow for isolated failures of hyperbolicity. We introduce relatively dominated representations as a relativization of Anosov representations, or in other words a higher-rank analogue of geometric finiteness. We prove that groups admitting relatively dominated representations must be relatively hyperbolic, that these representations induce limit maps with good properties, provide examples, and draw connections to work of Kapovich–Leeb which also introduces higher-rank analogues of geometric finiteness.
Les représentations Anosov fournissent une classe de sous-groupes discrets des groupes de Lie qui généralisent les sous-groupes convexes-cocompacts d'un groupe de Lie de rang un. En rang un, la classe des sous-groupes géométriquement finis est une généralisation de la classe des sous-groupes convexes-cocompacts, qui autorise des défauts isolés d'hyperbolicité. Nous introduisons les représentations relativement dominées comme une relativisation des représentations Anosov, autrement dit un analogue de la finitude géométrique en rang supérieur. Nous montrons qu'un groupe qui admet une représentation relativement dominée est nécessairement relativement hyperbolique et que ces représentations induisent des applications de bord satisfaisant des bonnes propriétés. Nous donnons des exemples et faisons des connexions avec le travail de Kapovich–Leeb sur d' autres analogues de la finitude géometrique en rang supérieur.
