Business cards hold official information about an organization or a person. These cards contain the contact details and business details. The business cards are exchanged for formal introduction and marketing. It is necessary to design the business cards formally for a better first impression. These cards serve as an identity of a business or an individual, so people give them special considerations.
The business cards of a business or individuals are kept inside the card boxes. These card boxes are placed on the desks or organization of employees. It is essential to keep cards in a box to maintain their sequence and for the convenient accessibility of others. As cards are official representations, their boxes should maintain their integrity and appearance. Most people or organizations make custom business card boxes according to their cards.
Styles for Business Card Boxes:
Although cards for a person should be given consideration, the cards for organization should be given more attention. These cards signify the whole organization, and they will be responsible for forming an impression. Also, business card boxes are the official representation of the businesses, so these are made in different styles and designs. Most individuals try to make impressive boxes to hold their cards. An exception box on the desk will draw the attention of the people, especially cards that represent the business. Here are some unique designs to make business card boxes:
Card Holder Boxes:
The holder boxes are the most common packaging styles for the cards. These are simple containers that can keep the cards. Also, the size of the holder box depends upon the size of the card. These boxes are usually small, and the cards are kept in standing forms. The holder boxes are convenient and standard style for keeping the business card. All the business receptions contain these boxes with a range of cards.
Two-Piece Card Boxes:
Now, many people prefer two-piece boxes for their personal business cards. These boxes keep the cards in lying form. Also, these boxes are preferred as they protect the cards from external conditions. The two-piece box contains a lower container and an upper cover. So the cards are usually kept in a covered form which prevents them from wearing out. Also, these boxes look exceptional with elegant styling.
Sliding Card Boxes:
The sliding boxes slide out from the sleeve. These boxes have an outer sleeve that covers the card in the container. So, the styling is mostly carried out on the sleeve. The sliding boxes for the card are thin and elongated. Their opening and closing give a similar experience as a drawer. Moreover, these look exceptional with the cards when you slide open.
Card Folding Boxes:
The folding boxes give the option of numerous styles and designs for any product. You can make boxes in a square or rectangular shape. Also, there are many options for sealing, like tuck end or roll end. Thus, the folding style for card boxes is used to style the packaging in different styles.
A die-cut window on the box is a great technique to make impressive packaging. For instance, the window cut on the top will showcase the cards without opening the packaging. So these will keep the card protected while marketing the business at the same time. You can place window boxes on the reception of the commercial places. Every coming individual will sight them and only open them if they need the card. Thus, it will limit the exposure while keeping the marketing aspect of the card. Window boxes are hence a great approach to making customized business card boxes.
Flap Card Boxes:
You can design the card boxes in the flap style. The flap boxes always look valuable and add worth to the product. Also, modify the flap in the style of a magnet. These magnets help to seal the packaging. Therefore, every time a person takes out a card, the flap will seal automatically. These boxes improve the unboxing experience greatly. Thus, flap boxes with magnetic closure are a great approach.
Standing Card Boxes:
The business card can be kept in the vertically upright form in standing boxes. These boxes are rectangular in vertical form. To be precise, the standing boxes are similar to cigarette boxes without a lid. These boxes are only suitable for the business card. Although they might appear simple, but with design, these will look exceptional. Therefore, standing boxes are also another style to design business card boxes.
In conclusion, there are several attractive methods to manufacture business card containers. These boxes should be appropriate for official purposes. The best possible designs are holder boxes, window boxes, two-piece boxes, sliding boxes, etc. The card boxes are always customized according to the business card. Therefore, no matter the organization, the business card packaging is always personalized.

Importing Files in Other Formats
Benefits of importing files in other formats into Microsoft Word 2010:
- If the object is too complicated to be created directly in Word, such as an equation for example, it can still be included in the document, even though it was created in a different program.
- Rather than referring a reader to an external source, file, or object, you can embed all or parts of that file directly into your document.
Embedding Images in Your Document
- Put your cursor at the desired location in your document where you would like to insert an image.
- From the Insert tab, select Picture.
- An Insert Picture window opens. Browse for the image on your PC.
- When you have finished browsing, select OK. The image should now appear at the desired location in your document.
Embedding Other Files Formats into Your Document
The instructions below are for non-media content-type files only. If you have media that you would like to embed into your document, such as a sound or video clip, contact _EMAIL_ for assistance in streaming these files via the ATCís media server.
- Put your cursor at the desired location in your document where you would like to insert an object.
- From the Insert tab, select Object.
- Select the Create from File tab and Browse for your file on your local PC.
- Select the Link to file checkbox so that the file contents appear directly in your file.
- When you have finished, select OK. The file contents appears at the desired location in your document.
Examples of Supported File Formats
- Picture files including JPEG, GIF & BMP
- Microsoft Excel spreadsheets
- Microsoft PowerPoint slides
- Adobe PDF documents
Why canít I insert a sound or video clip into my document?
Typically, sound and video file sizes are too large for Microsoft Word to embed directly in the file. Instead, shortcuts are embedded, linking to the original file on the authorís PC. If you attempt to upload your document to myWPI, it will upload without the linked files and readers will not be able to play the sound or video clip. The ATC can assist you with embedding multimedia that is stored on a streaming media server. Instead of shortcuts to a directory, the shortcut will be to a web link, which any user can play with an Internet connection.Maintained by _EMAIL_

confirmations indicating that the update has initiated, come after one saying that it has been done. Please pay close attention because the sound may be hard to listen to. Normal updates should only take a few seconds.
Configuration of Sound
It takes some time to convert sounds to work with neopixel, but it's not a tough procedure. Manual conversion is necessary at this time.
The example above shows the accepted sound file types. Although the sample shows a maximum of two sounds for each, you may add many more (tested up to 16).
Neopixel will not read folders with names; they must be numbered sequentially. You won't have to change any sound files from common sound font formats like Proffie or CFX, but you will need to delete and rename some. Renamed files with the same name in Windows 10 will be automatically numbered, making converting many files of the same sound type much easier.
Adding a new font requires adding default blade color in config.ini file in the following format:
Color-X=(r, g, b)
where X is replaced with the sound theme folder number. r, g, b are red, green and blue values in the 0-255 range. More detail is mentioned in the next section.
The 'config.ini' file under the 'set' folder in SD Card contains default configurations for the lightsaber. These configurations can be customized to enhance the experience.
The example shows the default config.ini file. The configurations are well labeled to make customizations easier.
Twist Power and Stab Power gestures can be turned off by changing the following:
_TAG_ power on/off,1 is on,0 is off
_TAG_ power on/off,1 is on,0 is off
Moreover the gestures can be made more sensitive by changing the sensitivity value for each configuration. The default value and maximum values are mentioned with each configuration.
The flash on clash requires a hard clash to function. Changing the sensitivity from 1.5 to 1.0 can result in a smoother experience.
_TAG_ of clash, smaller more sensitive
The default colors for each soundfont can also be changed by changing the RGB values to the colors.
Color-X=(r, g,b)
These values are in range 0-255. Where (0, 0, 0) represents a black which should not be used as it is impossible to select a black light. (255, 255, 255) is a white light. The mix can be used to make different colors of the blade.
Customizing default blade styles is not possible in Xeno Soundboards. However it can be done in Proffie Boards.
In order to get your lightsaber's issue resolved you must have to follow the given steps related to your issue, if none of them works, please drop us email at _EMAIL_ with complete video explaining the issue.
When Lightsaber can't turn on
This situation is caused by poor battery contact, Does it work when you plug in the charger? if not then please make up the gasket slightly out to properly adjust the battery in between both ends.
This situation is caused due to the battery terminals not touching the battery properly or either not fully adjusted that's why lightsaber would not charge until it's properly fixed.
If still lightsaber would not charge then please send us a video of lightsaber charging while the battery is properly inserted into the kit.
When Blade's Light not turn on
This situation is caused due to the neopixel blade was not fully inserted and did not touch pin, that's why the blade was not lighting up. So please try to fully insert the blade to make it touch pin then surely it will light up.
Other case it can be due to low charge. So charge your battery for about an hour at least. If the problem is not related to charging, removing and replacing the battery may resolve it.
No sound from lightsaber
lightsaber could be on mute. Turn off the lightsaber, then press and hold on the button for 0.5 seconds (for one flash of red button light) to adjust the sound volume.
When charging, the lightsaber indicates 'charging' and then immediately indicates 'ready.':
The battery is not linked to the plates inside Kit. Open the lightsaber and correctly tune the connections such that the positive and negative can easily touch both ends of the battery.
- As we are selling an electronic gadget so it's quite necessary to look into the issue carefully to sort it out properly, so if you want us to resolve your issue, it is requested to follow the above mentioned guidelines.
- if the issues is not resolve please make a clear video explaining the whole scenario and send us at _EMAIL_, so that our engineers can identify the issue and resolve it accordingly.
- After sending video please wait for 24 to maximum 48 hours. So we can either come up with a solution and issue your replacement.

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths in the U.S., but the American Lung Association is working toward a future free of this disease. In an effort to end lung cancer, the American Lung Association's LUNG FORCE Walk will take place at Duke Island Park in Bridgewater on Saturday, September 23, 2023, with a fundraising goal of $155,000.
The LUNG FORCE Walk is a celebratory and welcoming event that provides critical funds for lifesaving lung cancer research, early detection initiatives and awareness.
Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer deaths among people in the U.S., but there is hope. More Americans than ever are surviving lung cancer. The survival rate has increased by nearly 40% in the past decade," said Erica Masin, Executive Director at the Lung Association in New Jersey. "On Saturday, September 23, hundreds of Bridgewater Township residents and nearby communities are coming together to raise awareness about lung cancer, lighten the burden for people living with lung disease, honor the memory of those we've lost and lift up those who need our support."
The LUNG FORCE Walk is great for friends, family and company teams to come together to support people with lung disease and lung cancer, have fun and get some great exercise. Joining the LUNG FORCE Walk supports the work of the American Lung Association to defeat lung cancer, improve the air we breathe, reduce the burden of lung disease on individuals and their families, and eliminate tobacco use and tobacco-related diseases.
This year, we are pleased to recognize Dr. Sarada Gurubhagavatula of Summit Health as this year's LUNG FORCE Walk New Jersey Medical Honoree for her work in the community with lung cancer. Dr. Gurubhagavatula (fondly known as Dr. G.) is a South Orange resident and has a special interest in lung cancer with experience in treating all types of hematology and oncology patients," said Masin.
The American Lung Association is the leading organization working to save lives by improving lung health and preventing lung disease through education, advocacy and research. The work of the American Lung Association is focused on four strategic imperatives: to defeat lung cancer; to champion clean air for all; to improve the quality of life for those with lung disease and their families; and to create a tobacco-free future. For more information about the American Lung Association, which has a 4-star rating from Charity Navigator and is a Platinum-Level GuideStar Member, call 1-800-LUNGUSA (_PHONE_) or visit: Lung.org.

In this paper, thermal avoidance in tethered flying locusts is described far the first time. Changes in body posture examined using high- speed cinematography revealed that the animals responded to a laterally positioned heat source with contralaterally directed abdomen and hindleg ruddering, behavioural patterns resembling manoeuvres observed in collision avoidance and in response to auditory signals. The analysis also showed that, during stimulation, left and right forewing depression became asymmetrical during the downstroke but remained symmetrical during the upstroke. Hindwing depression and elevation remained symmetrical during stimulus presentations. Electromyographic recordings from the left and right first basalar muscles (M97; forewing depressors) showed that contralateral depressor muscle activity was advanced by 10-12 ms relative to that on the stimulated side. There was also an increase in burst duration on the contralaterally stimulated side and an increase in wingbeat frequency of approximately 3Hz. Ablation experiments showed that removal of the antennal flagella, which are the site of previously described thermoreceptors, did not abolish thermal avoidance manoeuvres. We conclude that thermal avoidance is triggered by an infrared sensitivity that is not mediated by the compound eyes, the ocelli or the antennal flagella.

Hierarchical Matrices
HLib Package
What is HLib?
HLib is a program library for hierarchical matrices and H2-matrices. It provides
 - routines for the construction of hierarchical matrix structures (i.e., of cluster trees, block cluster trees, low-rank matrices and block matrices),
 - discretization functions that fill these structures by approximations of FEM or BEM operators,
 - arithmetic algorithms that perform approximative matrix operations like addition, multiplication, factorizations and inversion,
 - conversion routines that turn sparse matrices and dense matrices into H-matrices and H-matrices or H2-matrices into H2-matrices and
 - service functions that display matrix structures, perform numerical quadrature or handle files.
The library is written in the C programming language and requires BLAS and LAPACK to perform lower-level algebraic operations (like performing dense matrix-matrix multiplications or solving eigenvalue problems).
On Unix-type systems, we use Autoconf, Automake and Libtool in order to provide the user with a fully automatic build process.
If GTK+, OpenGL and GTKGLArea are installed, a visualization program for surface meshes and cluster trees is provided that can be quite useful for debugging BEM applications. We are currently working on a comprehensive GUI that will offer the more interesting functions of the library.
Since HLib was developed (at least partially) at the Max-Planck-Institut Leipzig, we cannot use an open source license and turn it into free software. But we can give it away for free to scientist interested in doing research if they sign an appropriate license agreement.

Well "non-conductive" is a relative term, it won't be as conductive as
ocean water, nor as non-conductive as you want for this application.
Any type of ions in the fluid will drive the conductivity up, and if all
you are doing is precipitating water out of the air with a typical
commercial A/C component it will not be very clean. Labs that need
really clean water usually distill it multiple times or put it through a
chain of filters. Some of these systems have a resistivity meter at the
end, as that's an easy way to check that the water is as pure as is
needed. We had a system like that when I was in grad school, and the
water just sitting in it would increase in conductivity over time as
ions leached out of the internal parts. So when it was turned on the
first part of the flow would be quite conductive, and it would be
directed into the sink. Only when the meter showed the water was clean
enough would water be collected.

The Magician's Lie
by Greer Maccallister
Sourcebooks Landmark, 2015. 312 pages. Fiction.
Before an audience's eyes, a man is magically hewn in half and then restored to life. Hours later, the magician's husband is found beaten and murdered. When Officer Virgil Holt miraculously finds Arden, the famous illusionist herself, running from the scene of the crime he takes her into his small country jail to find out the truth. In an attempt to save her life, Arden tells the story of her rise to fame. But is Arden telling the truth, or covering up her crime?
This is a fascinating historical conundrum that reads a lot like The Night Circus and Water for Elephants, detailing the magic industry at the turn of the century. Arden weaves an interesting narrative, judiciously interrupted by Officer Holt in the present, his thoughts reflecting the readers' questions about whether they can believe Arden or not. Although there were times when the narrative style strained at credulity at times (it seemed improbable that Arden would share some of the details she did), Maccallister's tale is both fast-paced and intricate, leaving readers to wonder what is truth and what is illusion until the very end.

A sub-optimal cooperative beam forming design method of the amplify-and-forward (AF) MIMO two-way relay channels is proposed in this work based on the optimal beam forming design which minimize the sum mean square errors (MSMSE). Suppose the channel state information (CSI) is perfectly known by the receiver and transmitter as well as the relay, global optimal beam forming can be achieved. By analyzing the MSMSE-based optimal method, the results show that effect of the transmit and receive beam forming pairs is to maximize the receive SNR at two communication nodes, and rank of the optimal relay beam forming matrix is no larger than 2 when there is only one data stream at both communication nodes. Based on the analysis, a simplified algorithm is proposed to design the beam forming vectors (matrices). Simulation results show that the system performance of bit error rates (BER) of the simplified method is very close to the optimal one with fast iteration speed and much lower computational complexity.

You can use the GetField method on ItemViewModel in order to get additional information about a specific field.
Example: Rendering information about a specific field:

 @{ var dateField = Model.Item.GetField("Date"); if (dateField != null) {
@dateField.Name

@dateField.SystemName

@dateField.GetDateTime()
 } }

You use the GetItem() method if you want to retrieve values from an item with a field of the type Item type. For example, you have a shared item type called Font which contains all sort of font settings. This itemt ype is used in your website settings – so to retrieve the value from the FontFamily field you do the following:
Model.Area.Item.GetItem("Font").GetString("FontFamily");
You use the GetFile() method whenever you've used an item field of the type File – this is the only way to retrieve the path to the file.
Item.GetFile("Image").Path
GetFile() can return the file extension, the name, and the path to the file selected – if you use any other method, you will fail silently.
You use the GetItems() method if you have used an item field of the type Item relation list – this is the only way to retrieve values from item relation lists.
@foreach (var i in Model.Item.GetItems("GalleryImages")) { i.GetString("Image"); }

The Tepui Trips are organized to explore and understand the unique avifauna of the table-top mountains of southern Venezuela.
The trip usually requires camping, driving on dirt roads, hiking, or helicopter rides and lasts from seven to twelve days.
We started our Tepui Trips in 1984 visiting Roraima-tepui, where we had the first contemporary sighting of Roraiman Nightjar. Since then, we have re-visited Roraima-tepui more than a dozen times, as well as Auyan-tepui (1986) and Tramen-tepui (1989). In these trips, we invite scientists of Venezuelan ornithological museums or universities to join us. Fellow birders can join these trips by making a contribution to cover the expenses although it is understood that the scientists are not providing guiding services. This is a tremendous opportunity to learn about the ornithological research in Venezuela.
In 2005 and 2008 we returned to the slopes of Roraima-tepui where we gathered more data of several Tepui endemic species. Also, 2007 we included another location to this program: Duida tepui. In this impressive massif we reached 6000 feet elevation and collected more bird data.
Please, refer to the tours & trips column for more information about this exploratory trip.


New article about the formation of a Norwegian identity among immigrant origin youth
08. January 2021
In a new article publicised in Ethnic and Racial Studies, Jon Horgen Friberg shows that youth of immigrant origin gradually adopt a stronger self-identity as Norwegians, regardless of geographical and religious backgrounds. However: While adolescents of European immigrant origin report being seen as more "Norwegian" than they identify themselves, children of immigrants from Africa and Asia are seen by others as far less "Norwegian" than how they perceive themselves.

Compliance with data protection laws using Hippocratic Database active enforcement and auditing
by C. M. Johnson, T. W. A. Grandison
Governments worldwide are enacting data protection laws that restrict the disclosure and processing of personal information. These laws impose administrative and financial burdens on companies that manage personal information and may hinder the legitimate and valuable sharing and analysis of this information. In this paper we describe an integrated set of technologies, known as the Hippocratic Database (HDB), which enables compliance with security and privacy regulations without impeding the legitimate flow of information. HDB's Control Center allows companies to specify fine-grained disclosure policies based on the role of the user, the purpose of the access, the intended recipient, and other disclosure conditions. Its Active Enforcement component transparently enforces these policies by transforming user queries in a middleware layer to ensure that the database returns only policy-compliant information. HDB's Compliance Auditing system efficiently tracks all database accesses and allows auditors to formulate precise audit queries to monitor compliance with privacy and security policies. In this paper, we outline the basic architecture of the HDB solution, discuss the advantages of our approach, and illustrate the features of each component with practical compliance scenarios from the financial services industry.


IHSS Provider Wait and Travel Times
IHSS Provider Wait and Travel Times
IHSS gives services to help you stay at home if you cannot take care of yourself because of your disability. This pub tells you about getting IHSS hours for help getting to the doctor. It also tells you if you can get IHSS hours for doctor trips for a child.
1. Can I receive IHSS hours for my provider to take me to doctors' appointments?
Yes, this is called "accompaniment to medical appointments." Medical accompaniment to "health care appointments" (e.g. medical appointment at a doctor's office, dentist and to other health practitioners) is an IHSS service certain IHSS recipients can receive. Medical accompaniment can be authorized when a recipient needs another IHSS service in order to get to and from a medical appointment or alternative resource, and/or at their destination.1 For example, if a recipient has been authorized for accompaniment to medical appointments, the provider can also be paid to help the IHSS recipient travel to and from medical appointments.
Examples of help with travel includes things like helping a recipient get in and out of a vehicle, getting properly seated, and using seat belts. To get authorized for medical accompaniment, you should tell your IHSS social worker that you have a medical appointment and that you need your IHSS provider's assistance to get to the medical appointment. The IHSS social worker will then assess your need for assistance in getting to and from medical appointments.2 IHSS care providers are not required to use their own vehicle to transport recipients to and from a medical appointment. However, an IHSS recipient can pay their care provider for the use of their vehicle to transport the recipient to and from the recipient's medical appointments.
2. Can an IHSS provider get paid for time spent waiting at an IHSS recipient's doctor's appointment?
Yes. As of February 1, 2016, providers can receive payment for time spent waiting at medical appointments. In order to be paid for waiting at a medical appointment, the provider has to show that while they are at a recipient's medical appointment, they cannot leave because they cannot predict how long the recipient's appointment will take. An example would be when a provider takes a recipient to a medical appointment and the provider has to wait at the medical office because, at any moment, they may have to take the recipient home. This means the provider is "engaged to wait" or "Wait Time —On Duty."
When a recipient is authorized for medical accompaniment, if all the following conditions are met, then the provider will be considered "Wait Time —Off Duty" (which means they will not be paid for any time spent waiting for the recipient):
 1. The amount of time the appointment will take is known in advance which would allow the provider plenty of notice that they will not be needed to provide services during that time and which can then be used for their own purposes;
 2. The appointment is scheduled to last enough time for the provider to conduct personal business; and
 3. The provider is not required to perform any other authorized service, e.g., food shopping, other shopping/errands, during the appointment time.
If all the above conditions are met, then the recipient must tell the provider that they do not have to work until a specified time when they must return to accompany the recipient home. The provider will not be paid for this time. If all the above conditions are NOT met, the provider is considered to have "Wait Time —On Duty," and they must be paid for the time they spend waiting for the recipient.
You can find more information on wait times in All County Letter No. 16-01. 3
3. What if I need my provider to take me to an alternative resource? Can they still get paid to wait for me?
Individuals can receive transportation to a site where alternative resources provide in-home supportive services to the recipient in lieu of IHSS. 4 In general, for individuals who receive time for medical accompaniment to an alternative resource, the time an IHSS provider is waiting would not to be compensable because recipients are usually dropped off and picked up at a certain time. Normally, a provider cannot be paid for the wait time associated with accompaniment to alternative resource sites because the provider can effectively use that time for their own purposes and it is considered Wait Time Off-Duty. 5 However, in order to determine whether wait time is paid, the social worker must determine whether or not a provider is using "Wait Time-On Duty" or if the provider is using "Wait Time-Off Duty." 6
4. Can a minor receive IHSS hours for accompaniment to doctors' appointments?
There are special requirements to get medical accompaniment authorized for minor recipients. Medical accompaniment for minors can only be authorized if the minor recipient has an "assessed extraordinary need," the appointment is for a specialist, and the minor recipient has a need for an authorized IHSS task to be performed during travel to or from the appointment.
To get medical accompaniment and associated wait times authorized for a minor recipient, each of the three following conditions must be met:
 1. The minor recipient must have an assessed extraordinary need. An extraordinary need is a need that is based on the functional impairment due to the minor's disability and the need is beyond what would normally be expected for a minor of the same age without the functional impairment.
 2. The appointment(s) must be with a physician or other licensed health care professional in a specialty care discipline and the appointment must be related to the minor's disability or functional impairment. Medical Accompaniment may not be authorized for routine appointments with the minor recipient's pediatrician or primary care physician, such as well-baby/child visits, annual check-ups, immunizations, visits related to common childhood illnesses/injuries, etc.
 3. The minor recipient must have a need for an authorized IHSS task(s) during travel to and/or from the appointment, or at the appointment.
The guidelines for authorizing wait time for adult recipients are not applied in minor recipient cases. This is because a parent is typically expected to be present during a child's medical appointment so that they can participate in a discussion with the medical professional about the child's health and make decisions about treatment and care. The social worker should include the wait time in the authorization of hours. You can find more information and examples in All County Letter No. 17-42.
5. Can an IHSS provider get paid for travel time between recipients?
Yes. IHSS providers can be paid for travel time. Travel time is the time it takes a provider to travel directly from the location where they care for a recipient to another location to provide services for a different recipient on the same day. However, a provider cannot get paid for the travel time to and from his or her home to any IHSS recipient's location. In addition, providers can only be reimbursed for 7 hours of travel time per week. 7
Providers who have multiple recipients should contact the county in order to complete form SOC 2255 and submit it to the IHSS office. This form must be completed in order for the provider to be compensated for their travel time.

What's the audit scheduler?
One great feature within audIT.app is the ability to schedule an audit, but what exactly does this mean?
Part of the Standard is that you need to:
 1. Risk assess how often you do the audits
 2. Schedule the dates in advance
The audIT.app will automatically do the risk assessment for you (this happens on a monthly basis), so this covers item 1.
audIT.app schedules your audits based on the outcome of the risk assessment – so you can show the auditor the dates are set in advance.
When the audit date is due audIT.app then emails the auditor to remind them they need to complete an audit.

Mention the climatic conditions needed for the cultivation of sugarcane.
Sugarcane is essentially a tropical plant. It thrives well where the summer temperatures are between 25°C to 30°C and the annual rainfall is between 100 to 150 cm. Plenty of water is needed during the time of growth. If rainfall is less, irrigation becomes essential.


text: We have analyzed periodicities in the occurrence rate of proton flares for solar cycles 19 through 21 (1955-86) and have identified two epochs that exhibit a 154-day periodicity. These epochs are a 14-year interval from 1958 January through 1971 December and a 5.5-year interval from 1978 February to 1983 August. The best-determined period is 154.6. We have found that the phase of this periodicity changed between the above-mentioned two epochs by about one half of a period. It appears that the occurrence rate of proton flares is more sensitive to the 154-day periodicity than the occurrence rate of flares selected by other criteria.

text: BACKGROUND Recently pericardial adipose tissue (PAT) has been shown to be an independent predictor of atrial fibrillation (AF). Atrial PAT may influence underlying atrial musculature creating a substrate for AF. This study sought to validate the assessment of total and atrial PAT by standard cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) measures and describe and validate a three dimensional atrial PAT model. METHODS 10 merino cross sheep underwent CMR using a 1.5 Tesla system (Siemens, Sonata, Erlangen, Germany). Atrial and ventricular short axis (SA) images were acquired, using ECG -gated steady state free precession sequences. In order to quantify total volume of adipose tissue, a three dimensional model was constructed from consecutive end-diastolic images using semi-automated software. Regions of adipose tissue were marked in each slice followed by linear interpolation of pixel intensities in spaces between consecutive image slices. Total volume of adipose tissue was calculated as a total volume of the three dimensional model and the mass estimated from volume measurements. The sheep were euthanized and pericardial adipose tissue was removed and weighed for comparison to the corresponding CMR measurements. RESULTS All CMR adipose tissue estimates significantly correlated with autopsy measurements (ICC > 0.80; p < 0.03). Intraobserver reliability in CMR measures was high, with 95% levels of agreement within 5.5% (ICC = 0.995) for total fat mass and its individual atrial (95% CI ± 8.3%, ICC = 0.993) and ventricular components (95% CI ± 6.6%, ICC = 0.989). Interobserver 95% limits of agreement were within ± 10.7% (ICC = 0.979), 7.4% (ICC = 0.991) and 7.2% (ICC = 0.991) for atrial, ventricular and total pericardial adipose tissue, respectively. CONCLUSION This study validates the use of a semi-automated three dimensional atrial PAT model utilizing standard (clinical) CMR sequences for accurate and reproducible assessment of atrial PAT. The measurement of local cardiac fat stores via this methodology could provide a sensitive tool to examine the regional effect of fat deposition on atrial substrate which potentially may influence AF ablation strategies in obese patients.

This looks a lot like homework, and if so, please add the homework tag. Hint: Use the law of total probability to calculate $P\{Y = k\}$ from $P\{Y = k\mid X = n\}$ and the known values of $P\{X = n\}$. – Dilip Sarwate Feb 19 '13 at 13:54
Sure. Right, so that's what I have been doing, but it's not obvious. – darksky Feb 19 '13 at 13:56
Further hint: Can you tell what is the value of $P\{Y=10\mid X = 4\}$? How about $P\{Y=10\mid X=15\}$? You will need to use the fact that for a specific $k$, $P\{Y=k\mid X=n\}$ is zero for some choices of $n$, cancel some factorial terms in the rest, and sum a series. – Dilip Sarwate Feb 19 '13 at 14:02

Note that $Y\mid X=x\sim\mathrm{bi}(x,p)$ for $x=0,1,\ldots$ and so $$ P(Y=k\mid X=x)=\binom{x}{k}p^k(1-p)^{x-k},\quad k=0,\ldots,x. $$ Thus $$ P(Y=k)=\sum_{x=k}^\infty P(Y=k\mid X=x)P(X=x)=\sum_{x=k}^\infty\frac{x!}{k!(x-k)!}p^k(1-p)^{x-k}\frac{\lambda^x}{x!}e^{-\lambda}, $$ which by letting $x!$ cancel out we can write as $$ \frac{p^k}{k!}e^{-\lambda}\sum_{x=k}^\infty \frac{1}{(x-k)!}(1-p)^{x-k}\lambda^x. $$ Now write $\lambda^x$ as $\lambda^{x-k}\lambda^k$ and do a change of index so the sum starts at $x=0$. Then you should end up with $$ \frac{(p\lambda)^k}{k!}e^{- p\lambda}. $$

It is easiest to use probability generating functions $\mathcal{P}_Z(t) = \sum_{m=0}^\infty t^m \mathbb{P}\left(Z=m\right) = \mathbb{E}\left(t^Z\right)$. The probability generating function of a binomial random variable equals $\left(1-p + p t \right)^n$. Thus: $$ \mathcal{P}_Y(t) = \mathbb{E}\left(t^Y\right) = \mathbb{E}\left(\mathbb{E}\left(t^Y|X\right)\right) = \mathbb{E}\left( (1-p+t p)^X\right) = \mathcal{P}_X(1-p+ t p) = \exp\left(\lambda \left( \left(1-p + t p \right) -1 \right) \right) = \exp\left(\lambda p (t-1) \right) $$ The latter is the probability generating function of $\operatorname{Poi}\left(\lambda p \right)$.

The Eyespots Have It
07 Nov, 2013
The old proverb about a leopard not being able to change its spots now has a new biological footnote after researchers in Australian recently found that fish exposed to predatory danger can, indeed, transform their spots to make them less vulnerable to attack.
Working with young Ambon Damselfish, Pomacentrus amboinensis, researchers from Australia's ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies (CoECRS) have made the remarkable discovery that, when constantly threatened with being eaten, the fish not only grow a larger false 'eyespot' near their tail–but also reduce the size of their real eyes. Small prey fish with bigger "false eyes" on their rear fins dramatically boosted their chances of survival on the reef, they found.
The changes were not evolutionary—over a succession of generations—but rather a relatively rapid response by individual fish tracked over a period of six weeks.
The enlargement of the eyespots results in a fish that looks like it is heading in the opposite direction–potentially confusing predatory fish targeting them to be eaten, says Oona Lönnstedt, working toward her Ph.D. at CoECRS and James Cook University.
These spots are known as ocelli, and for decades scientists have debated whether false eyespots, or dark circular marks on less vulnerable regions of the bodies of prey animals, played an important role in protecting them from predators–or were simply a fortuitous evolutionary accident. The widely accepted theory is that these spots, found in the juveniles of many species, tend to cause predators to strike at the eyespotted tail or fin rather than the much more vulnerable head region.
The CoECRS team has found the first clear evidence that fish can change the size of both the misleading spot and their real eye to maximise their chances of survival when under threat.
"It's an amazing feat of cunning for a tiny fish," Lonnstedt says. "Young damsel fish are pale yellow in colour and have this distinctive black circular 'eye' marking towards their tail, which fades as they mature. We figured it must serve an important purpose when they are young."
"We found that when young damsel fish were placed in a specially built tank where they could see and smell predatory fish without being attacked, they automatically began to grow a bigger eye spot, and their real eye became relatively smaller, compared with damsels exposed only to herbivorous fish, or isolated ones.
"We believe this is the first study to document predator-induced changes in the size of eyes and eye-spots in prey animals."
When the researchers investigated what happens in nature on a coral reef with lots of predators, they found that juvenile damsel fish with enlarged eye spots had an amazing five-fold increase in survival rate compared to fish with a normal-sized spot.
"This was dramatic proof that eyespots work—and give young fish a hugely increased chance of not being eaten," says Lonnstedt.
"We think the eyespots not only cause the predator to attack the wrong end of the fish, enabling it to escape by accelerating in the opposite direction, but also reduce the risk of fatal injury to the head," she explains.
The team also noted that when placed in proximity to a predator the young damsel fish also adopted other protective behaviours and features, including reducing activity levels, taking refuge more often and developing a chunkier body shape less easy for a predator to swallow.
"It all goes to show that even a very young, tiny fish a few millimetres long have evolved quite a range of clever strategies for survival which they can deploy when a threatening situation demands," Ms Lonnstedt says.
Their paper Predator-induced changes in the growth of eyes and false eyespots by Oona M. Lonnstedt, Mark I. McCormick and Douglas P. Chivers appears in the latest issue of the journal Scientific Reports.
The animal world is full of brilliant colours and striking patterns that serve to hide individuals or attract the attention of others. False eyespots are pervasive across a variety of animal taxa and are among natures most conspicuous markings. Understanding the adaptive significance of eyespots has long fascinated evolutionary ecologists. Here we show for the first time that the size of eyespots is plastic and increases upon exposure to predators. Associated with the growth of eyespots there is a corresponding reduction in growth of eyes in juvenile Ambon damselfish,Pomacentrus amboinensis. These morphological changes likely direct attacks away from the head region. Exposure to predators also induced changes in prey behaviour and morphology. Such changes could prevent or deter attacks and increase burst speed, aiding in escape. Damselfish exposed to predators had drastically higher survival suffering only 10% mortality while controls suffered 60% mortality 72 h after release.

Proving That (-1) * (-1) = 1
Date: 01/30/2006 at 10:59:35 From: Ken Subject: proof of why -1 x -1 = 1 At the high school level it is difficult to prove that -1 x -1 = 1. Is there a published proof somewhere? Thank you.
Date: 01/30/2006 at 11:14:11 From: Doctor Jerry Subject: Re: proof of why -1 x -1 = 1 Hello Ken, Thanks for writing to Dr. Math. If you scan down a bit in the FAQ Negative Times a Negative _URL_ you will find an explanation. A different way of approaching the matter is explained--at great length--in the book Foundations of Analysis, written by Edmund Landau. Landau starts with Peano's Axioms for the positive integers and from this constructs the set of real numbers. On page 85 of this text, Landau proves Theorem 197: For each pair of real numbers x and y, (-x)(-y) = x*y. This may be a bit much for high school kids, but it's a nice proof.

both approaches described above is to use zoomUn* to "unzoom" from the child Component into the parent Component:
zoomUn
For example:
inputComponent
 :: eff st.
 { current :: ALens' st String
 , input :: ALens' st String
 }
 -> (st -> st)
 -> Component eff st
inputComponent focus delete = zoomR focus \unzoom -> div []
 [ div [ onClick \_ -> modify \st -> st { current = "" } ] [ text "Clear text" ]
 , unzoom $ div [ onClick \_ -> modify delete ] [ text "Delete" ]
 ]
parent = div [] [ inputComponent { current, input } ]
Traversals
Currently there are traversal combinators for Arrays and Maps. Each combinator is provided in a filtered or unfiltered, polymorphic, zoom + unzoom and zoom only variant.
For example, here's the polymorphic filtered Map traversal foreachMapF:
foreachMapF
Array traversals:
Filtered Polymorphic Zoom + Unzoom Zoom only
yes foreachF foreachUF foreachZF
no foreach foreachU foreachZ
Map traversals:
Filtered Polymorphic Zoom + Unzoom
yes foreachMapF foreachMapUF
no foreachMap foreachMapU
The reason why only the foreachMap* variants provide an st -> st function that deletes the current focused element is that with arrays it's easy to run into the following situation:
div [ onClick \_ -> do
 modify delete
 modifyL focus \st -> st ...
 ]
 []
which would first delete the focused element and only then attempt to modify it (in turn modifying the following element, if any, or resulting in a runtime error.) Since a Map is a one to one mapping of keys to values, attempting to modify an already deleted element will be a no-op and is thus safe.
React bindings
purescript-refract is a thin wrapper over React and thus presents direct access to the lifetime methods API:
type Spec eff st =
 { displayName :: String
 , componentWillMount :: Effect eff st Unit
 , componentDidMount :: Effect eff st Unit
 , componentWillUnmount :: Effect eff st Unit
 , componentWillUpdate :: st -> Effect eff st Unit
 , componentDidUpdate :: st -> Effect eff st Unit
 , shouldComponentUpdate :: st -> Boolean
 }
componentClass :: eff st. Spec eff st -> Component eff st -> ComponentClass eff st
component :: eff st. ComponentClass eff st -> Component eff st
Note that ComponentClasses should be defined at the top level, otherwise every rerender will create a new ComponentClass and consequently force React to immediately and repeatedly call componentWillMount, componentDidMount, etc.

Neilly Group Engineering were engaged by Reef Catchments to develop an options assessment for remediation measures to address stream bank erosion in Cherry Tree Creek, located 52km South of Mackay.
The assessment identified the areas of erosion and sedimentation by undertaking a comparison of survey data collected in 2009 to survey data collected in 2018. It was determined that Cherry Tree Creek had undergone significant bank erosion over this period. 2D flood modelling was also undertaken to provide an understanding of the hydraulic conditions of Cherry Tree Creek and to identify hot spots that will be prone to future erosion. The accompanying figures show the survey comparison as well as velocity mapping produced from the 2D flood modelling.
It was identified that the best solution would be a combination of bank battering and rock armouring of the toe of bank to prevent further erosion of at risk areas.

SAMtools count
View full source code on GitHub
This applet performs a basic samtools view -c {bam} command, referred to as "SAMtools count", on the DNAnexus platform.
Download BAM Files
For bash scripts, inputs to a job execution become environment variables. The inputs from our dxapp.json file are formatted as shown below:
{
 "inputSpec": [
 {
 "name": "mappings_bam",
 "label": "Mapping",
 "class": "file",
 "patterns": ["*.bam"],
 "help": "BAM format file."
 }
 ]
}
The object mappings_bam, a DNAnexus link containing the file ID of that file, will be available as an environmental variable in the applet's execution. Use the command dx download to download the BAM file. By default, when we download a file, we will keep the filename of the object on the platform.
dx download "${mappings_bam}"
SAMtools Count
Here, we use the bash helper variable mappings_bam_name. For file inputs, the DNAnexus platform creates a bash variable [VARIABLE]_name that holds a string representing the filename of the object on the platform; because we downloaded the file using default parameters, this will be the filename of the object on this worker as well. We use another helper variable, [VARIABLE]_prefix, the filename of the object minus any suffixes specified in the input field patterns. From the input spec above, the only pattern present is '["*.bam"]', so the platform will remove the trailing ".bam" and create the helper variable [VARIABLE]_prefix for our use.
readcount=$(samtools view -c "${mappings_bam_name}")
echo "Total reads: ${readcount}" > "${mappings_bam_prefix}.txt"
Upload Result
Use dx upload command to upload data to the platform. This will upload the file into the job container, a temporary project that holds onto files associated with the job. When running the command dx upload with the flag --brief, the command will return just the file ID.
counts_txt_id=$(dx upload "${mappings_bam_prefix}.txt" --brief)
Note: Job containers are an integral part of the execution process, to learn more see Containers for Execution.
Associate With Output
The output of an applet must be declared before the applet is even built. Looking back to the dxapp.json file, we see the following:
{
 "name": "counts_txt",
 "class": "file",
 "label": "Read count file",
 "patterns": [
 "*.txt"
 ],
 "help": "Output file with Total reads as the first line."
}
We declared a file type output named counts_txt. In the applet script, we must tell the system what file should be associated with the output counts_txt. On job completion, usually at the end of the script, this file will be copied from the temporary job container to the project that launched the job.
dx-jobutil-add-output counts_txt "${counts_txt_id}" --class=file

Hyper-flighting: a micro-strategy in 4 steps
Daina Middleton
Daina Middleton
Direct marketers can generate cost savings, sales volume and more by using micro-strategies to get more granular with media buys. Geo-targeting, for example, enables marketers to tailor offers to individuals in the specific geographic locations that are most likely to respond.
New and innovative micro-strategies continue to emerge, however, and "hyper-flighting" helps direct marketers leverage paid search to make offline efforts, like catalog drops, more effective.
Here are four steps to improve the cost effectiveness of your offline communications using the powerful strategy of paid search hyper-flighting:
1. Coordinate PPC campaigns with catalog drops or other offline communications. Featured products should be represented in paid search keyword portfolios, including colors, descriptions, product numbers and alternative names, to address the different ways a potential customer might search for these products.
2. Relax ROI/effective revenue share requirements (ERS). By temporarily relaxing these metrics and budget constraints, direct marketers can capture increased interest and sales from offline promotions. Hyper-flighting reduces time and energy needed to make adjustments, especially for advertisers with large keyword portfolios.
3. Create hyper-flighting groups. Classify keywords into approximately five groups for keyword portfolios with 50,000 or more keywords. Create groups based on past performance, keyword types, bid prices and search volume, paying particular attention to how you use these keywords when entering or exiting flights.
4. Prioritize changes by group. Search teams can quickly change the bids of high spend terms to increase or decrease ERS. This strategy helped a leading outdoors cataloger with more than 50,000 keywords generate significant traffic growth, increase sales 15%, boost clicks by 12% and reduce effective revenue share by 11%.

Google Analytics Tracking for Adobe Flash
The Google Analytics Tracking for Adobe Flash component makes it easy for you to implement Google Analytics in your Flash-driven content. This component, developed by Adobe Systems, Inc., contains all of the functionality of the Google Analytics Javascript code. The Flash Tracking component is a compiled tracking object native to ActionScript 3, making Analytics implementation intuitive in Flash, and Flex development environments.
Why Use Flash Tracking?
Without the Google Analytics Tracking for Adobe Flash component, tracking Adobe Flash content with Google Analytics involves a number of technical hurdles. First, you must develop a custom interface to ga.js so that your Flash application can execute the appropriate Analytics method, such as trackPageview() or trackEvent(). In addition, you must also anticipate whether your Flash content will have access to the browser Document Object Model (DOM), since tracking fails for those objects where access to the DOM is denied (typically when your content resides on 3rd party sites). This involves understanding how to use the ExternalInterface call in ActionScript 3 to access the browser DOM and to degrade when access is denied.
The Google Analytics for Adobe Flash component simplifies tracking your Flash content and handles DOM access gracefully. It is useful for a number of common tracking purposes in Flash, such as: :
 - an embedded Flash widget on an HTML page
 - a standalone Flex application or Flash-only site hosted on an HTML page
 - a distributed Flex/Flash game or program where the developer has no control over where the widget will be placed
Keep in mind that tracking applications in Flash has some structural variations from tracking website pages. Familiarity with Analytics Tracking is essential to understanding how this plug-in works. You can also view the Design Documentation for this project for detailed information on how the Analytics Tracking model has been ported over for this component.
Supported Development Environments
You can develop Analytics Tracking for Flash in either Adobe Flash or Adobe Flex environments. Each environment requires a different component, which you can download from These components are based on ActionScript 3 and can be set up in one of two ways for each environment:
In Adobe Flash
 - Add and configure a simple component in the component inspector and drag it to the stage.
 - Import the Flash Tracking libraries directly into your library and start coding.
In Adobe Flex
 - Include an MXML component that you configure from am MXML file.
 - Import the Flash Tracking libraries into your script tags/AS3 files.
How Does the Component Work?
In order to use the Flash tracking component in your environment, you either use the visual tools inside Flash, or you set up the tracking object directly in your code. Regardless of whether you are setting up the component visually or via code, you provide the following elements:
 - the web property ID—This is also known as the UA number of your tracking code and looks like UA-xxxxx-yy, where the x's and y's are replaced with the numbers that correspond to your account and view (profile) information for the object you are tracking. See Web Property for more information.
 - the tracking mode—Choose either bridge mode or AS3 mode. This mode determines how your tracking communicates with the Analytics servers and is described in detail below.
 - the debugging mode—No matter which environment or tracking mode you use, you can turn debugging on to validate and test your tracking.
Tracking Modes
Depending upon on how you distribute your Flash content, the Analytics for Flash component communicates to the Analytics servers either by bridging the communication between the Flash content on an existing Analytics tracking installation, or by communicating directly to the Analytics servers. These two modes are called bridge mode and AS3 mode, respectively. Both modes use the same Analytics tracking functionality, and it's easy to switch your Flash application from one mode to the other. In addition to choosing a communication mode for Analytics tracking, you can also use a debug mode to troubleshoot or validate your tracking.
In either mode, allowscriptaccess must equal always in order for campaign tracking to work. This parameter turns on read access to the page's URL and referrer information required by the Flash tracking code. Without allowscriptaccess, the Analytics tracking code degrades gracefully. It still provides most user activity data, but will not confirm to the Google Analytics campaign attribution model.
Bridge Mode
Use this mode if you control both the HTML page and the Flash content. This mode is best if you have already implemented Google Analytics (ga.js) tracking on your website and you want to add tracking to embedded Flash content. The bridge mode simplifies Flash-to-JavaScript communication by providing a unified ActionScript 3 interface to the ga.js code. It provides the connection from the ActionScript 3 calls to the Analytics JavaScript in order to make the tracking work.
The connection to the Google Analytics Tracking Code can be configured through the web property ID parameter in one of two ways:
 - Most common method. The Google Analytics Tracking Code object already exists on your page with its own name, such as pageTracker. In this case, you provide the full DOM reference to the tracking object. For example, if your object is called pageTracker, you would reference that object in your code as window.pageTracker. For example, the following code snippet illustrates how this would be configured using the Adobe Flex environment with ActionScript 3:
 tracker = new GATracker( this, "window.pageTracker", "Bridge", false );
 - Alternate method. If you have not created a page tracking object on your page, you can simply pass in your web property ID, and a JavaScript tracking code object will be created for you. With this method, reference to the base ga.js javascript source file is still required on your HTML page. The following code snippet illustrates how this would be configured using the Adobe Flex environment with ActionScript 3:
 tracker = new GATracker( this, "UA-12345-22", "Bridge", false );
In order for bridge mode to function correctly, ExternalInterface.available must be set to true in your ActionScript 3 code. This also means that allowScriptAccess should be set to always in the HTML page that embeds the Flash content. The following example illustrates HTML code configured for bridge mode:
 id="flex_component" width="800" height="600"

 hobbit-alerts.cfg - Configuration for for hobbitd_alert module
 The hobbit-alerts.cfg file controls the sending of alerts by Hobbit
 when monitoring detects a failure.
 The configuration file consists of rules, that may have one or more
 recipients associated. A recipient specification may include additional
 rules that limit the circumstances when this recipient is eligible for
 receiving an alert.
 Blank lines and lines starting with a hash mark (#) are treated as
 comments and ignored. Long lines can be broken up by putting a
 backslash at the end of the line and continuing the entry on the next
 A rule consists of one of more filters using these keywords:
 PAGE=targetstring Rule matching an alert by the name of the page in BB.
 This is the path of the page as defined in the bb-hosts file. E.g. if
 you have this setup:
 page servers All Servers
 subpage web Webservers
 subpage db Database servers
 Then the "All servers" page is found with PAGE=servers, the
 "Webservers" page is PAGE=servers/web and the "Database servers" page
 is PAGE=servers/db. Note that you can also use regular expressions to
 specify the page name, e.g. PAGE=%.*/db would find the "Database
 servers" page regardless of where this page was placed in the
 The PAGE name of top-level page is an empty string. To match this, use
 PAGE=%^$ to match the empty string.
 EXPAGE=targetstring Rule excluding an alert if the pagename matches.
 HOST=targetstring Rule matching an alert by the hostname.
 EXHOST=targetstring Rule excluding an alert by matching the hostname.
 SERVICE=targetstring Rule matching an alert by the service name.
 EXSERVICE=targetstring Rule excluding an alert by matching the service
 GROUP=groupname Rule matching an alert by the group name. Groupnames
 are assigned to a status via the GROUP setting in the hobbitclients.cfg file.
 EXGROUP=groupname Rule excluding an alert by the group name. Groupnames
 clients.cfg file.
 COLOR=color[,color] Rule matching an alert by color. Can be "red",
 "yellow", or "purple". The forms "!red", "!yellow" and "!purple" can
 also be used to NOT send an alert if the color is the specified one.
 TIME=timespecification Rule matching an alert by the time-of-day. This
 is specified as the DOWNTIME timespecification in the bb-hosts file.
 DURATION>time, DURATION1h (lasted
 longer than 1 hour) or DURATION<30 (only sends alerts the first 30
 minutes). The duration is specified as a number, optionally followed by
 'm' (minutes, default), 'h' (hours) or 'd' (days).
 RECOVERED Rule matches if the alert has recovered from an alert state.
 NOTICE Rule matches if the message is a "notify" message. This type of
 message is sent when a host or test is disabled or enabled.
 The "targetstring" is either a simple pagename, hostname or
 servicename, OR a '%' followed by a Perl-compatible regular expression.
 E.g. "HOST=%www(.*)" will match any hostname that begins with "www".
 The same for the "groupname" setting.
 The recipients are listed after the initial rule. The following
 keywords can be used to define recipients:
 MAIL address[,address] Recipient who receives an e-mail alert. This
 takes one parameter, the e-mail address.
 SCRIPT /path/to/script recipientID Recipient that invokes a script.
 This takes two parameters: The script filename, and the recipient that
 gets passed to the script.
 IGNORE This is used to define a recipient that does NOT trigger any
 alerts, and also terminates the search for more recipients. It is
 useful if you have a rule that handles most alerts, but there is just
 that one particular server where you dont want cpu alerts on Monday
 morning. Note that the IGNORE recipient always has the STOP flag
 defined, so when the IGNORE recipient is matched, no more recipients
 will be considered. So the location of this recipient in your set of
 recipients is important.
 FORMAT=formatstring Format of the text message with the alert. Default
 is "TEXT" (suitable for e-mail alerts). "PLAIN" is the same as text,
 but without the URL link to the status webpage. "SMS" is a short
 message with no subject for SMS alerts. "SCRIPT" is a brief message
 template for scripts.
 REPEAT=time How often an alert gets repeated. As with DURATION, time is
 a number optionally followed by 'm', 'h' or 'd'.
 UNMATCHED The alert is sent to this recipient ONLY if no other
 recipients received an alert for this event.
 STOP Stop looking for more recipients after this one matches. This is
 implicit on IGNORE recipients.
 Rules You can specify rules for a recipient also. This limits the
 alerts sent to this particular recipient.
 It is possible to use macros in the configuration file. To define a
 $MYMACRO=text extending to end of line
 After the definition of a macro, it can be used throughout the file.
 Wherever the text $MYMACRO appears, it will be substituted with the
 text of the macro before any processing of rules and recipients.
 It is possible to nest macros, as long as the macro is defined before
 it is used.
 Alerts can go out via custom scripts, by using the SCRIPT keyword for a
 recipient. Such scritps have access to the following environment
 BBALPHAMSG The full text of the status log triggering the alert
 ACKCODE The "cookie" that can be used to acknowledge the alert
 RCPT The recipientID from the SCRIPT entry
 BBHOSTNAME The name of the host that the alert is about
 MACHIP The IP-address of the host that has a problem
 BBSVCNAME The name of the service that the alert is about
 BBSVCNUM The numeric code for the service. From the SVCCODES
 BBHOSTSVC HOSTNAME.SERVICE that the alert is about.
 BBHOSTSVCCOMMAS As BBHOSTSVC, but dots in the hostname replaced with
 BBNUMERIC A 22-digit number made by BBSVCNUM, MACHIP and ACKCODE.
 RECOVERED Is "1" if the service has recovered.
 EVENTSTART Timestamp when the current status (color) began.
 SECS Number of seconds the service has been down.
 DOWNSECSMSG When recovered, holds the text "Event duration : N" where N
 is the DOWNSECS value.
 CFID Line-number in the hobbit-alerts.cfg file that caused the script
 to be invoked. Can be useful when troubleshooting alert configuration
 hobbitd_alert(8), hobbitd(8), hobbit(7), the "Configuring Hobbit
 Alerts" guide in the Online documentation.

GOVERNMENT says the construction of dams across the country is an ongoing exercise.
This is in a bid to ensure water resources are managed and harnessed for various uses.
Minister of Water Development, Sanitation and Environmental protection Permanent Secretary, Bishop Edward Chomba says government is using funds from the word Bank and the Africa development bank.
He says construction of dams is being done depending on demand from communities across.
Bishop Chomba has since urged the country to ensure preservation of water resources.
He says the country experienced electricity load shedding in the last two years due to a water crisis.


Line total (up+down sum) in PHP Network Weathermap
With PHP Network Weathermap you can create a birds-eye view of network components from your monitoring system (like LibreNMS, Cacti or anything else with an RRD database). It can display simple maps with components and links between, showing up and down traffic, but also complex systems with custom components, like Nagios status, temperature or other information. For network and system administrators seeing the seperate in and out traffic of a link is fine, we can sum up two numbers. A co worker filling the role of service manager asked me if it was possible to sum up in and out and show that, including the scale (different colours depending on link usage). This co worker is not interested in the seperate up/down link speed but wants to know how much traffic a location is using in total. Using a clever workaround, you can display a line's total usage, including the scale. This article also gives some more tips on weathermap, colouring and scale.

Fab Lab Fab Academy Final Project Software Defined Cooking with ESP8266
Fab Lab Fab Academy Final Project Software Defined Cooking with ESP8266
Software Defined Cooking with ESP8266
There is an idiom: the proof of the pudding is in eating it. Same applies to the successful implementation of Software Defined Cooking with ESP8266; the proof is in the egg and eating it.
The objective of this final project to be submitted in due course for completion of Fab Academy 2016 is to design and fabricate an apparatus that display & control the temperature of a heated water bath (Sous Vide) over the Internet. DS18B20 acquire the temperature of the water bath, ESP8266 send this data via HTTP to thingspeak, and via MQTT to Node-Red server hosted on Cloud or VM. PID controller is defined in Node-Red with a set point. Output of PID is send via MQTT to ESP8266 to control the CPC1966B connected with heater.
Ever since humans discovered fire to cook food. The desire to have tasty food hot, and ready to serve without significant labour contributed to the preparation is insatiable. Progressively over different period of time, the labour required to prepare food is contracted to another person whether specialized or otherwise. By logical extension of the idea of the labour is contracted out to prepare food for humans, here comes the robot cook. Hence the notion of Software Defined Cooking meant for robots or home appliances have to be defined. An industry framework is needed to define protocols, communication standards, recipe, dispensing of food items, quality assurance and etc for Software Defined Cooking. Through observations on demonstrations in CES over the years, the software defined cooking appliances meant for smart kitchens are implemented in product silos by the respective vendors. Appliances that do not interact with other makes of smart appliances, and human owners are nothing close to the ideals of a Software Defined Cooking.
Some vendors have disrupted the market by inventing heating mechanism meant for cooking that is controllable by software. FreeScale have invented a "solid-state, high-power output, high-operating temperature radio frequency (RF) transmitter technology" to address software defined cooking. This articlehere explains the FreeScale RF solution and addresses the following issues:
1. "Heating is difficult to control with both thermal (heat) and temporal (time) precision. Heating elements take time to heat, are frequently not calibrated to a precisely measured numeric temperature scale, and then take time to cool to lower temperatures.";
2. "It is extremely difficult to track the "doneness" state of the inside of food with precision."
3. "The feedback loop between sensing doneness and adjusting temperature has been performed mostly by human observation, judgement and labor throughout recorded human history."
The article above also outline three features of a Software Defined products
A. "Gather and analyze sensor data."
B. "Maintain peak performance and health based on sensor data analysis (feedback loop)."
C. "Communicate their analysis with other software-define products and cloud services for continuous improvement." Besides the highlights of the 3 issues and 3 features, the article mentioned above and the product video of RFSage, an innovative appliance utilizing the FreeScale RF technology did not communicate enough details for a layman to deduce whether the RF mentioned is used for both transferring heat and communicating cooking data between different make of smart appliances in the category of software defined cooking.
A little more historical background. Back in 2011, I chanced upon sous vide while clicking away on cooking videos over the Internet, and saw a demo of thermal circulator in a chemistry lab, I have never looked back since. The essence of sous vide cooking is to maintain a water bath at precise temperature, with food placed in food safe bags submerged into this precise temperature controlled water bath. We started off with a store bought DIY kit that cost quite an arm and leg. We even went to the extent to make sous vide shield for Arduino. At that point in time, a dedicated sous vide supreme is out of the equation, it has to give way to tuition fee, rent, transport, and food.
Sous vide solved two out of the three issues highlighted earlier. Doneness of the inside of the food is precise with sous vide, thus the inexperienced novice is spared from the labourious sensing doneness and adjusting temperature to prevent overcooking; hopefully stop food wasting from bad cooks. The other pressing issue is the calibration between heat transfer and time needed for heat to transfer is solved partially with some sous vide implementations. Some amateurish sous vide controller uses "bang-bang" algorithm for open feedback loop system, which is bad, really bad and hardly precise at the required set point. Some comes with PID controller, in which a controller for continuously adjusting the heat and time components in a closed feedback loop system.
The three features mentioned above speaks of the cloud computing itself without mentioning the name. A server in the cloud will collect and collate information send by the sensors, perform computations on the data collected, transmit control to the actuators, and lastly communicate to user through the use of visualizations.

10 of the Highest Paying Jobs for Veterans
10 of the Highest Paying Jobs for Veterans
The men and women who have served our country face many struggles when they come home. In addition to needing to adjust to life as a civilian, they must seek employment in a job market that doesn't necessarily want to hire veterans. Some of the reasons that employers may not hire veterans include a misunderstanding about the skills offered through the military (including organizational skills and discipline) and negative stereotypes associated with veterans.
Another reason veterans are overlooked for employment is because employers are worried they may be deployed. For example, you wouldn't want someone to help with college homework if you were worried they were going to leave for a vacation, leaving the job unfinished. Despite this negative situation, there are high-paying jobs for veterans—you just have to know where to look.
1. IT Specialist or IT Team Leader
Veterans are known for their technical skills and leadership. This means it is likely you are over-qualified with the skills for this job. While you may need specific certifications depending on the field, some places offer on-the-job training, while IT school is generally a quick, affordable education.
2. Chief Information Security Officer
People with a military background know that protecting information is of the utmost importance. People in this field take advantage of a rising job trend—technology. As technology keeps advancing, so do the number of jobs available in the field. The job is to follow along with new trends in the world of cybersecurity and to provide the latest updates to systems to maintain information integrity.
3. Senior Program Manager
Veterans are taught using a strict regime and project management. This promotes a useful skill in the workplace—the ability to manage and handle projects. A high-ranking veteran may be able to secure this type of job by speaking about their management in the military, while others may need to work up to this position.
4. Construction Project Manager
Are you interested in building things? The unmatched skills that veterans have while managing is a great way to delegate tasks. Another reason this job is a good one is because delegating tasks does not always require physical labor. For disabled veterans who may have an injury, this gives them an opportunity to create good things in the world, regardless of their injury.
5. Telecommunications Equipment Expert
Connecting with people is a great part of any job—but some require only a little small talk and you can focus on the task at hand. This position lets you problem solve as you install and repair telecommunication equipment. You may also be tasked with finding out how to make the necessary connection in people's homes.
6. Logisticians
If you are interested in this position, it provides an interesting challenge for anyone. It also has a high job growth, with an expected 22% increase, or 27,600 new jobs being introduced in the next four years. This job entails acquiring, distributing, and delivering products with the goal of minimizing costs and maximizing efficiency. Additionally, you can find this work in almost any consumer industry.
7. Healthcare
There are many opportunities for employment in the healthcare field, including work as a registered nurse or physical therapist. If you worked in nursing or physical therapy while deployed, focusing on health care gives you a chance to give back while showcasing your skills. Additionally, some nursing programs will let you apply the time you have spent in the field as credits toward your degree, so you need less schooling than the average civilian.
8. Translator or Interpreter
If you were deployed for a long time, it is possible you picked up on some of the native language in an area. This is very useful if you plan on becoming an interpreter or translator following deployment, because finding people who can speak two languages fluently is difficult. Even if you do not choose to go into this field, make sure you add this marketable talent to your resume. Most employers will appreciate your ability to learn a second language.
9. Business Administrator
This field is ideal because it lets veterans showcase leadership skills. However, this is not the only area where veterans excel. Veterans also have high levels of adaptability and problem-solving skills from their military career, which will help a lot in this position. Additionally, it offers many options for moving up in your career, whether to the head of a company or moving on to open your own business.
10. Human Resources Manager
More veterans than ever are being brought into different areas of employment, partially because of the work of Veterans' Affairs. As sensitivity to veteran needs becomes more important, it is likely that more veterans will be hired in this area. This is because veterans know best what people need to find employment after returning from life in the military. If you are interested in this field, it does pay well, but it is also a great chance to give back to other members of service, by easing them through their transitional period.
Veterans are one of the most overlooked minorities for employment for several reasons, including an inability to translate their skills, negative stereotypes, and deployment. This has led to an employment rate higher than it is for non-veteran males in the same demographic, as much as a 10% veteran unemployment rate at times. By looking at the places above, you can find not just a job—but a high-paying job.

Ensuring Existing Bridges are Safe and Strong with DYWIDAG Tendons
A highway bridge on an important regional highway was kept open during strengthening works thanks to DYWIDAG tendons. The new installation ensures that the bridge is safe, in line with updated standards.
The 200-metre-long highway bridge on the A46 in Germany connects the eastern Ruhr area with the Sauerland and Westphalia region. Comprised of two separate superstructures designed as a double T-beam bridge, an inspection revealed the bridge would require strengthening.
Load assumptions have been revised since the bridge was built, which meant that under the updated standards, the bridge would need to be reinforced to be considered safe. DYWIDAG was commissioned to supply and install the tendons that would provide the required strengthening. In addition, the tendons would need to be installed without any traffic restrictions on the bridge.
Wire EX tendons and unbonded bar tendons were installed. The Wire EX longitudinal tendons were arranged in pairs on both sides along the bridge beams. Some of these were anchored to the end cross-member and then to newly concreted anchor blocks. Meanwhile, 108 additional Type WS36 DYWIDAG unbonded bar tendons were used to actively tension the new anchor blocks to the existing beams and to reinforce the area of the end cross-member.
The Wire EX tendons and unbonded bar tendons were chosen for this project for several reasons. The longitudinal Wire EX tendons are prefabricated and delivered as a finished tendon on a transport drum, which avoids complex assembly work on site for a faster and less disruptive installation from below.
The unbonded bar tendons offered advantages as well. By using them in the anchor blocks, the prestressing force of the bar tendons can be easily checked at any time in the future, making inspections easier. Also, the DYWIDAG unbonded bar tendons are the only tendons on the German market that meet the requirements of ZTV-ING Part 3, Section 6, 4.3 (3) with regards to a permanently adhering, elastic corrosion protection material (shrink sleeve).
Despite the use of only mobile access solutions and the comparatively high structure height, the installation process was carried out very quickly and effectively. Traffic was able to continue using the bridge without any disruption, and the works were completed in the agreed timeframe.

IO-Link Device Validation (Compatible or Identical)
Use Device Validation to make your IO-Link port smart. You can link IO-Link ports to operate only when a compatible or identical IO-Link device is attached. This example illustrates:
- Port 1 – Device Validation set to identical. Identical Device Validation can only function if the IO-Link device contains a serial number.
- Ports 2, 3, and 5 – Device Validation set to compatible, which means these ports only operate if a compatible (same Vendor ID and same Device ID) IO-Link device is attached to the corresponding port.
- Port 4 – after clicking SAVE, this port is configured for compatible device validation
