Logic probe basics How to use a logic probe
One of the advantages of the logic probe tester is that it is very simple and easy to use. It can very quickly give a basic indication of the operation of a logic circuit.
Although the logic probe is very easy to use it has many limitations and can only give basic measurements and this should be remembered when deciding whether to use a logic probe.
If more comprehensive logic testing is needed, then more advanced electronic test equipment like logic analyzers or mixed signal oscilloscopes may be needed.
How to use a logic probe: the basics
Understanding how to use a logic probe is very straightforward. There are many different logic probe products, all of which are slightly different, but they all conform to the same basic overview of their functionality and operation, for example some have audible indications as well as the visual ones whereas others may not.
Accordingly it is possible to give some basic guidelines about how to use a logic probe, but there will be slight variation in the way they are used dependent upon the particular logic probe in use.
Logic probe connections
Before using the logic probe, it is necessary to understand the connections.
As can be seen, there are three connections to the logic probe:
 1. Black lead with crocodile clip: There are two leads which generally come out of the opposite end of the instrument to the metal probe itself. The black lead is connected to negative ground and is also used as the return.
 2. Red lead with crocodile clip: This lead will have red on it somewhere, possibly just on the crocodile / alligator clip and is used to connect to the supply. Be careful to connect this to the logic supply which will normally be +5 volts and for some CMOS families up to 15 volts. Read the instructions to see over what range the probe will operate - using a voltage higher than that which is specified could damage the logic probe.
 3. Probe: The probe, as shown on the diagram is a metal point used for probing the circuit. When using this, be careful that the probe cannot slip and cause a short circuit which could damage the circuit under test.
The first requirement before using the logic probe is to connect the power connections to the circuit. Apart from ensuring they are the right voltage, the points used for connecting the crocodile clips to should be accessible and provide a reliable connection without the risk of touching any adjacent components or other connections.
Note: If possible connect the power connections to the unit under test when it is powered off. In this way risk of damage due to shorting, etc. is minimised.
Initial settings for using a logic probe
It is necessary to select the required settings on the switches when starting to use a logic probe. Dependent upon the logic probe manufacturer and model, there are a number of options that may need to be set:
 1. TTL / CMOS: It is necessary to select the logic family. Normally two options are given, namely CMOS and TTL. As the high and low states of these two logic families are slightly different, it is necessary to select the correct option. Normally logic probes will only accommodate the use of basic 5V versions of CMOS and TTL. Other families like the ones that use 3.3 volts or other rails are unlikely to be accommodated.
 2. MEM / PULSE : This is used to select the operational mode of the logic probe. The Pulse position is used for normal operation for pulse or level detection. The MEM or memory position is used to capture a pulse. For example if it is necessary to detect whether a pulse has occurred or not.
Note: Some surface mount devices these days use supply rails of 3.3 volts or less. Most logic probes will not work with these ICs as the logic levels cannot normally be accommodated. Additionally it is often difficult to probe surface mount boards as there is a real danger of shorting pins.
Probing & results
With power applied to the circuit under test and the logic probe, it is possible to use it to probe various points on the circuit.
One easy point to locate may be a transistor driver. The can of the transistor is often connected to its collector making a point where the signal can be easily accessed.
The logic probe will indicate which lines are high, low or carrying a signal.
It is then a matter of interpreting the results in line with the circuit to find out whether they are acting correctly or not.
A brief order of using a logic probe could be:
 1. Connect the black clip or line to ground or to a common line of the circuit to be tested. This assumes that 0V and ground / common are the same.
 2. Secondly connect the red clip or leave to the positive supply of the circuit.
 3. Select the logic family CMOS or TTL. TTL normally runs using a 5V supply whereas CMOS is typically 5 - 15V.
 4. Use the probe to connect to the required monitoring points. At this point the LEDs will light accordingly and a buzzer if included may sound.
 5. Setting a MEM switch to MEM will enable the logic probe to capture any short pulses. There may be a separate LED to indicate this.
One hint is that it is often good to check how to use the logic probe on a known good circuit. In this way you will better understand its operation and know what to look for.
Whilst the logic probe is a very basic test tool, it can help find problems on many circuits if you know how to use the logic probe and understand its limitations.

AIRPORT CHAPLAINCIES AND THE SITUATION OF
AIRPORT WORKERS, AIR CREWS AND THEIR FAMILIES
Rev. Father Michael G. Zaniolo
National Catholic Civil Aviation Chaplains (NCCAC)
In the common estimation of people, airport chaplaincies serve the spiritual needs of travelers. Indeed, they do. Viewed more closely, the picture is more complex. The pastoral care extended through airport chaplaincies reaches not only to travelers but also in a significant way to airline personnel, ground workers who service airplanes, and those charged with safety and security in the airports. In fact, airport chaplaincies reach even beyond these groups of travelers and workers. We must be mindful that every person who enables the air travel of others belongs to the primary social unit of the family. What affects airport workers most certainly affects their families. This is the larger context for my remarks today.
Permit me to add an additional word of introduction. With regard to ministry in the context of airport chaplaincies more generally and in the context of workers and their families more particularly, we must note the fundamental and distinctive shape of this kind of ministry. In my experience and reflection, I would identify airport ministry as providing an ecclesial experience for travelers and for those who make their journeys possible. The heart of this ecclesial experience shares the common ground of all authentic experiences of the Church: proclamation and reception of the Word of God, celebration of the life-giving sacraments of the Lord, and direct service to those in need. In saying this, I am not saying anything new but rather repeating what has been the experience of the Church from the very earliest apostolic moments: kerygma, leitourgia, diakonia.
Airport chaplaincies engage in a ministry of word, worship-sacrament, and service on behalf of airport workers and their families and so provide them with four essential elements which strengthen their faith and give them encouragement as they make their spiritual and professional life's journeys. These elements, as I shall describe them, are: stability, security, solidarity, and support.
The air travel industry within which airline and airport personnel work not only serves the movement of people but is itself in a state of constant flux. This is so for two principle reasons. We live in a technological age that drives a constant flow of change. Basic engineering, for example, shifts continuously to accommodate more efficient aircraft. Information technology and its constant development also allows for a greater efficiency in the scheduling and transport of goods and people. The other continuously shifting dimension of the air travel industry is economic. We find ourselves at a threshold of world economic change because of the economic process of globalization. Although there are many positive features, such as greater efficiencies within the industry, there are also less positive features because of profit-driven motives that often take scant account of the human impact of realigned commercial structures.
Those who work in the air travel industry must face this process of continuous and rapid change with a concomitant sense of instability. It is possible to see one's previous training and experience vanish without value as new technologies emerge. It is possible to find oneself out of a job because of downsizing due to acquisitions and mergers. Shortly, I will address the question of security which includes job security. For now, I want to highlight the fundamental instability of the air travel industry. This has an obvious direct impact on workers. It also has an overflowing impact on their families.
Airport chaplaincies cannot address and, much less, resolve all the critical and threatening situations faced by workers and their families because of the inherent instability of the air travel industry. Airport chaplaincies, however, can offer a point of stability grounded in faith that enables workers and their families to assess their situation in a larger perspective. "Christ yesterday, today, and tomorrow" becomes a compass point for navigating a work world in flux. He is proclaimed in his Word, celebrated and made present in his sacraments, especially Reconciliation and the Eucharist, and served in the daily needs of his people.
A sense of security is proportionate to the reliability of the environment in which one lives and works. For airport workers and their dependents security today is compromised both by the instability of the economic environment which I have just now indicated but also—and perhaps more decisively—by the emergence of worldwide terrorism which has targeted air travel in a special way. The heightened sense of mortal risk has transformed the airline industry which previously had to deal with mechanical catastrophe or human error. Now, in a way that menaces all those who travel or make air journeys possible, risk is the result of human malice and the intention to destroy and destabilize governments and the general confidence of the public in fundamental institutions of life, such as transportation.
What does it mean to live and work in an environment which continuously reminds one of vulnerability and a risk that potentially has mortal and, indeed, catastrophic dimensions? Airport chaplaincies deal with the human and emotional impact of this question. Obviously, the chaplaincies do not deal directly with terrorist activities. They do, however, offer a word of reassurance to those who must deal with this plague on a daily basis. They do so by redirecting concern to the providential hand of God which accompanies us on our daily journey. These same chaplaincies, by welcoming persons of all religious affiliations, create an atmosphere in which workers and their families come to realize that religion and the name of God cannot be authentically invoked by those who plan and execute the destruction of innocent people. In this way, the chaplaincies affirm in a vibrant way that God is on the side of the just and those who respectfully live with their neighbor.
An airport chaplaincy has a major role to play in connecting people with each other. In other words, airport ministry can affirm human solidarity in a constructive and humanizing way. This happens in a number of different contexts.
Because air transportation is a business and one that determinedly seeks to make a profit, relationships with the customer-client base can be severely strained. Passengers, for example, can become valued only for their capacity to generate a profit. Airport chaplaincies can remind those who work in the airline industry that persons are persons, not instruments for profit, not nuisances, not problems, but real persons endowed with God-given dignity. The chaplaincy may be the lone voice affirming the humanity of passengers, as well as the humanity of those who work for the airline industry. Thus, the chaplaincy can build a bridge of human solidarity that transcends the profit motive which can seem to be the single force driving the air transportation enterprise.
The air chaplaincy can further build bonds among those who labor together in the air transportation industry. The humanization of the work space and the task of the workers is an essential ingredient of pastoral ministry in the context of airports. In the triple ministry of word, sacrament, and service, workers are reminded of their linkage among themselves and of their vocation not only to transport people from one place to another but, through travel, to link people to each other in a new form of social solidarity.
Finally, the air chaplaincy can help workers to remain connected to their families. The demands of the travel industry often create inevitable separations from family and friends. This is a part of the cost of the work that is done. By affirming and celebrating the family ties of air transportation workers, the chaplaincies are able to foster a continuing solidarity of family life. That same ministry can be available when inevitable separations can cause stresses and strains in marriages and family relationships.
Although there are specific circumstances which uniquely belong to those involved in the air transportation industry and their dependents, they are also subjected to the ordinary stresses and concerns of life shared with other human beings. Parents grow old and sick. Marital relationships can suffer from difficulties. Children can seem to lack direction and be in need of special guidance. Friends and relatives die. Illness, whether physical or emotional, can take its toll. In the face of all these "ordinary" circumstances and problems of daily life, the chaplaincy is close at hand. It is available, if not to address every concern, to receive the concerns and to be a useful resource in addressing the pains and hurts of the human condition. Sometimes this means a word of God that can enlighten a given situation. Sometimes, the sacraments, most especially the sacraments of healing and forgiveness, can give a new lease on life. Sometimes, a supportive word or a helpful referral can bring new hope to a difficult situation.
The ministry of the Church, in my own experience and estimation as an airport chaplain, is alive in a most intense way in the context of airport workers and their families. Clearly, the reason for this is that airport ministry encompasses the full range of the human experience but in a more intense way. The shifts in today's culture and economy are all accentuated in the context of the air transportation industry. Just as the challenges are magnified because of terrorism and economic instability and globalization, and countless other factors as well, so is the hope which the Gospel can bring to the human condition. In word, sacrament, and service, new hope and confidence can be born in the more challenging and difficult situations of today's world, especially as these emerge in the air transportation industry with their particular impact on airport workers and their families.


text: Abstract Web events, whose data occur as one kind of big data, have attracted considerable interests during the past years. However, most existing related works fail to measure the veracity of web events. In this research, we propose an approach to measure the veracity of web event via its uncertainty based on its features distribution on different kind of confident websites. Firstly, the proposed approach mines various event features from the data of web event which may influence on the measuring process of uncertainty. Secondly, one computational model is introduced to simulate the influence process of the above features on the evolution process of web event. Thirdly, matrix operations are managed to facilitate practice. Finally, experiments are made based on the analysis above, and the results proved that the proposed uncertainty measuring algorithm is promising to measure the veracity of web event for big data.

Place the dish under the dissecting microscope and remove any fatty or connective tissues from the ascending and descending aorta. See Figure 3. Separate the ascending and descending aorta by making a cut just distal to the origin of the left common carotid artery. Put ascending and descending aorta separately in new dishes with DPBS labeled according to the region of the aorta and the genotype of the mouse.
 9. Working quickly but carefully, repeat for each experimental mouse until all the tissue has been separated. Pool ascending aortas and descending aortas for each explant.
 10. Move all the dishes with aortic tissue to the tissue culture hood.
 Figure 3. Appearance of the dissected aorta. Whole mount image showing the aortic tissue after it has been removed from the mouse and completely cleaned. Ascending aorta is marked by a red arrow.
 3. Explanting of the tissue
 Note: Please note that all steps for the rest of the protocol should be carried out under a tissue culture hood using standard sterile tissue culture techniques.
 1. Prepare the enzyme mix
 1. Thaw one aliquot each of collagenase and trypsin inhibitor at 4 °C before beginning the dissection of the mice.
 2. For each explant, use 5 ml of aorta biopsy storage media. If you are doing a 3-4 h digestion during the day, add 250 µl collagenase, 100 µl trypsin inhibitor, and 324 µl* elastase for each 5 ml of aorta biopsy storage media. For an overnight (15-18 h) digestion, use 1:10 dilution so 25 µl collagenase, 10 µl trypsin inhibitor, and 32.4 µl* elastase.
 *Note: The amount of elastase to add was calculated based on the mass and volume of the bottle. If you order elastase from a different source, you will need to recalculate the amount of this enzyme to add.
 2. Pour 70% ethanol, DPBS, and aorta biopsy storage media into three separate 60 mm tissue culture dishes.
 3. Using forceps, take each isolated aorta from its storage tube and wash the piece of tissue in ethanol, then DPBS, then biopsy media. Do not leave the tissue in ethanol for more than about 10-15 sec, though leaving it in DPBS or media for longer is OK.
 4. Place each piece of tissue into the lid of a 60 mm tissue culture dish. Using a scalpel and forceps, cut tissue into small pieces-make sure to cut the tissue both circumferentially and longitudinally to increase the surface area exposed to the digestion mix. The pieces will be variable in size, but the average size should be 1-2 mm in diameter.
 5. Place the chopped up tissue pieces into a new 60 mm tissue culture dish containing the 5 ml of media plus digestive enzyme mix made up in step C1. Label the dish.
 6. Place dish into incubator (37 °C). If doing a 3-4 h digestion, check at 2 h and every 30 min thereafter. If doing an overnight digestion, leave overnight, check at 15 h and every hour thereafter.
 7. When the tissue looks mostly digested with several floating single cells, but still some large clumps of tissue, pipet up and down tissue and media 5-10 times using a 10 ml pipet to help release cells from tissue. Place back into incubator for 30 more minutes. Also, remove filtered FBS from fridge to warm up to room temperature and place complete SmBM media into water bath to warm up to 37 °C.
 8. At the end of incubation time, look at tissue under microscope to make sure that the cells are free from the tissue. See Figure 4. If the tissue has been well digested (there should still be some intact pieces of tissue), add 2.5 ml of Serum and pipet up and down ~5 times. Next add 2.5 ml of complete SmBM media and pipet up and down ~5 times.
 Figure 4. Appearance of the digested tissue. Photo of the dish after digestion, with some 'net-like' tissue floating in it (black arrow) but a majority of tissue pieces digested.
 9. Transfer the entire contents of the tissue culture dish (should be 10 ml total) into one 15 ml tube.
 10. Spin down at 180 x g (about 700 rpm in a Sorvall Legend T+ tabletop centrifuge) at room temperature for 5 min.
 11. Carefully check to see if there is any floating tissue piece in the tube. If so, use a 200 µl pipette to remove the tissue piece and place it directly into a labeled T25 flask with complete SmBm. Once there are no tissue pieces floating, remove supernatant and resuspend the pellet in 5 ml of complete SmBM media.
 Note: If the supernatant was cloudy, repeat steps C10 and C11 until the supernatant is clear. If the supernatant was clear, proceed to step C12.
 12. Transfer the 5 ml complete SmBm with resuspended cells to a labeled T25 flask. Place flask in incubator.
 13. Allow cells to settle and adhere to the flask. Don't change media for at least 48 h. If cells still haven't settled down at this point, don't remove any media and add 2 ml of media to the flask. Let the cells settle for another 1 to 2 days.
 4. Maintenance and subculture of mouse vascular smooth muscle cells.
 1. Once SMCs grow up, feed the cells with fresh media every 3-4 days.
 1. Prewarm the SmBm complete media bottle in a 37 °C water bath for at least 15 min prior to feeding cells.
 2. Aspirate media from each flask and discard.
 3. Add 5 ml of media for each T25 flask without disturbing the cell layer.
 4. Return flasks to the incubator.
 2. When the cells reach about 70% confluent, or when some areas start to get very tightly packed and almost overgrown, the cells are ready to split. See Figure 5. Passage the SMCs from one T25 flask to one T75 flask.
 1. Prewarm the SmBm complete media bottle in a 37 °C water bath and allow the TrypLE Express reagent to equilibrate at room temperature for at least 15 min prior to splitting cells.
 2. Aspirate media from each flask and discard.
 3. Wash each flask once with 4 ml of DPBS, allow it to cover the cell layer, then aspirate and discard the DPBS.
 4. Add 1 ml TrypLE Express reagent to each flask. Make sure the trypsin is evenly covering the bottom of the flask/cell layer.
 5. Place the flask in the 37 °C incubator for 3 min.
 6. Confirm digestion under microscope. If most cells are round, bang the flask twice on both sides. If most cells are still attached incubate at room temperature for 1 min and then confirm digestion and bang the flasks twice on both sides.
 7. Add 4 ml of SmBm complete to each flask to neutralize the trypsin enzyme. Pipet up and down to detach all the cells and completely neutralize the enzyme.
 8. Transfer all 5 ml of liquid plus cells to a 15 ml conical tube.
 9. Spin down 5 min at 180 x g in a tabletop centrifuge at room temperature.
 10. Aspirate supernatant, resuspend cell pellet in 10 ml of SmBm complete, and transfer all 10 ml to a labeled T75 flask. Mark the date of split and the passage number (P1 for this first passaging).
 Figure 5. Appearance of confluent SMCs. The left picture shows a 100% confluent field of smooth muscle cells. These cells need to be passaged within 24 h. The right panel shows smooth muscle cells around 70% confluent. Note the spindle-shaped morphology which is characteristic of SMC cultures.
 3. When the SMCs have expanded, the cell aliquots can be frozen. Follow steps D2a-D2i in the above protocol for passaging SMCs. One T75 flask can be split into 2 frozen cell aliquots. A confluent T75 flask should have around 2 million cells, so each freeze vial will have around 1 million cells. After spinning down, follow the below steps to freeze cells.
 1. Aspirate supernatant, resuspend cell pellet in 3 ml SMC freeze media (see Recipes).
 2. Transfer 1.5 ml of the freeze media with dissolved pellet to each of two cryovials. Cryovials should be labeled with the passage number, date of freezing, and cell line.
 3. Place cryovials into a slow freeze container (either a foam container or an isopropanol based container will work) and freeze in the -80 °C freezer overnight.
 4. Transfer the frozen aliquots to a liquid nitrogen storage system for long-term storage.
 4. When you want to thaw your SMC aliquots, a vial of frozen cells can typically be thawed to one T75 flask.
 1. Prewarm Sm

Otherwise, each item has to be on a separate line (and only one line). Note that there must be whitespace after the semicolon which separates the commands. A period character . or a single quote ' in the first column of a line signals a troff command, which is copied through as-is. A line whose first non-blank character is a hash character (#) is treated as a comment and thus ignored. However, hash characters within a word are kept. A line whose first word is pic is copied through as-is after the word pic has been removed. The command
size n scales the diagram to make it look plausible at point size~n (default is 10~point). Anything else is assumed to be pic code, which is copied through with a label. Since chem is a pic preprocessor, it is possible to include pic statements in the middle of a diagram to draw things not provided for by chem itself. Such pic statements should be included in chem code by adding pic as the first word of this line for clarity. The following pic commands are accepted as chem commands, so no pic command word is needed:
define Start the definition of pic macro within chem.
[
Start a block composite.
]
End a block composite.
{
Start a macro definition block.
}
End a macro definition block.
The macro names from define statements are stored and their call is accepted as a chem command as well.

WISH LIST
This TODO list was collected by Brian Kernighan. Error checking is minimal; errors are usually detected and reported in an oblique fashion by pic. There is no library or file inclusion mechanism, and there is no shorthand for repetitive structures. The extension mechanism is to create pic macros, but these are tricky to get right and don't have all the properties of built-in objects. There is no in-line chemistry yet (e.g., analogous to the $... $ construct of eqn). There is no way to control entry point for bonds on groups. Normally a bond connects to the carbon atom if entering from the top or bottom and otherwise to the nearest corner. Bonds from substituted atoms on heterocycles do not join at the proper place without adding a bit of pic. There is no decent primitive for brackets. Text (quoted strings) doesn't work very well. A squiggle bond is needed.

NOVA Pentagon
NOVA Pentagon
 - $840.00 AUD
The five-sided parachute with oscillation damping
Safety through innovation: the PENTAGON parachute distinguishes itself through innovative design, combined with high-quality materials. After deployment, the PENTAGON offers a rapid opening, immediate oscillation damping and a low sink rate. The result is a rescue system you can fully trust in any situation.
NOVA Pentagon Packing Instructions Video
Five sides for high pendular stability. The five-sided shape is self-stabilising: if the PENTAGON experiences a pendular impulse towards a corner, the restoring force will automatically act in the opposite direction. Opposite a corner is an edge, where the airflow is significantly different and this counteracts unwelcome oscillations. The resulting pendular stability is excellent.
Quick to open, slow to descend. The sink rate is extraordinarily low: during certification, with maximum load, the Pentagon 120 had a sink rate of 5.2 m/s.
Five corner vents for fast opening. Five corner vents assist inflation during the opening. The opening is faster and more reliable than with conventional parachutes. This is not only critical when close to the ground, but it also reduces the risk of the parachute getting tangled in the paraglider's lines before opening.
Equal suspension line length for uncomplicated packing. A prerequisite for quick opening is that the parachute is packed regularly. The PENTAGON is quick and easy to pack. The base and centre lines are all the same length and equal distance from each other. They are also colour-coded. This means that the risk of errors during packing is minimal.
Intensive testing
 - The PENTAGON was designed in collaboration with Urs Haari of High Adventure. Urs drew on his experience of over 300 deployments with various parachutes.
 - He extensively tested the PENTAGON during the different design phases. The focus was on tests with the paraglider attached. In practice, this is much more common than the certification test scenario where the paraglider is jettisoned. The practical tests were supplemented by flow simulations of various designs. In the end, the Pentagon was the best of all solutions.

How to: Create a Secure Session
With the exception of the basicHttpBinding Element binding, the system-provided bindings in Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) automatically use secure sessions when message security is enabled.
By default, secure sessions do not survive a Web server that is recycled. When a secure session is established, the client and the service cache the key that is associated with the secure session. As the messages are exchanged, only an identifier to the cached key is exchanged. If the Web server is recycled, the cache is also recycled, such that the Web server cannot retrieve the cached key for the identifier. If this happens, an exception is thrown back to the client. Secure sessions that use a stateful security context token (SCT) can survive a Web server being recycled. For more information about using a stateful SCT in a secure session, see How to: Create a Security Context Token for a Secure Session.
To specify that a service uses secure sessions by using one of the system-provided bindings
 - Configure a service to use a system-provided binding that supports message security.
 With the exception of the basicHttpBinding Element binding, when the system-provided bindings are configured to use message security, WCF automatically uses secure sessions. The following table lists the system-provided bindings that support message security and whether message security is the default security mechanism.
 System-provided binding Configuration element Message security on by default
 BasicHttpBinding
 basicHttpBinding Element
 No
 WSHttpBinding
 wsHttpBinding Element
 Yes
 WSDualHttpBinding
 wsDualHttpBinding Element
 Yes
 WSFederationHttpBinding
 wsFederationHttpBinding element
 Yes
 NetTcpBinding
 netTcpBinding Element
 No
 NetMsmqBinding
 netMsmqBinding Element

 The following code example uses configuration to specify a binding named wsHttpBinding_Calculator that uses the wsHttpBinding Element, message security, and secure sessions.
 <bindings>
 <WSHttpBinding>
 <binding name = "wsHttpBinding_Calculator">
 <security mode="Message">
 <message clientCredentialType="Windows"/>
 </security>
 </binding>
 </WSHttpBinding>
 </bindings>

 The following code example specifies that the wsHttpBinding Element, message security, and secure sessions are used to secure the secureCalculator service.
 WSHttpBinding myBinding = new WSHttpBinding();
 myBinding.Security.Mode = SecurityMode.Message;
 myBinding.Security.Message.ClientCredentialType =
 MessageCredentialType.Windows;

 // Create the Type instances for later use and the URI for
 // the base address.
 Type contractType = typeof(ICalculator);
 Type serviceType = typeof(Calculator);
 Uri baseAddress = new
 Uri("http://localhost:8036/serviceModelSamples/");

 // Create the ServiceHost and add an endpoint, then start
 // the service.
 ServiceHost myServiceHost =
 new ServiceHost(serviceType, baseAddress);
 myServiceHost.AddServiceEndpoint
 (contractType, myBinding, "secureCalculator");
 myServiceHost.Open();

 ms733783.note(en-us,VS.100).gifNote:
 Secure sessions can be turned off for the wsHttpBinding Element by setting the establishSecurityContext attribute to false. For the other system-provided bindings, secure sessions can only be turned off by creating a custom binding.
To specify that a service uses secure sessions by using a custom binding
 - Create a custom binding that specifies that SOAP messages are protected by a secure session.
 For more information about creating a custom binding, see How to: Customize a System-Provided Binding.
 The following code example uses configuration to specify a custom binding that messages using a secure session.
 <bindings>
 <!-- configure a custom binding -->
 <customBinding>
 <binding name="customBinding_Calculator">
 <security authenticationMode="SecureConversation" />
 <secureConversationBootstrap authenticationMode="SspiNegotiated" />
 <textMessageEncoding messageVersion="Soap12WSAddressing10" writeEncoding="utf-8"/>
 <httpTransport/>
 </binding>
 </customBinding>
 </bindings>

 The following code example creates a custom binding that uses the MutualCertificate authentication mode to bootstrap a secure session.
 SecurityBindingElement security = SecurityBindingElement.CreateMutualCertificateBindingElement();

 // Use a secure session.
 security = SecurityBindingElement.CreateSecureConversationBindingElement(security, true);

 // Specify whether derived keys are required.
 security.SetKeyDerivation(true);

 // Create the custom binding.
 CustomBinding myBinding = new CustomBinding(security, new HttpTransportBindingElement());

 // Create the Type instances for later use and the URI for
 // the base address.
 Type contractType = typeof(ICalculator);
 Type serviceType = typeof(Calculator);
 Uri baseAddress = new
 Uri("http://localhost:8036/serviceModelSamples/");

 // Create the ServiceHost and add an endpoint, then start
 // the service.
 ServiceHost myServiceHost =
 new ServiceHost(serviceType, baseAddress);
 myServiceHost.AddServiceEndpoint
 (contractType, myBinding, "secureCalculator");
 myServiceHost.Open();

function search-inner(value, array A, start, end): integer
 if start == end:
 return -1 // not found

 let length := end - start

 if value == A[start]:

 let mid := start + (length / 2)

 return mid
 else-if value > A[mid]:
 return search-inner(value, A, mid + 1, end)
 else:
 return search-inner(value, A, start, mid)
 fi
end
Note that all recursive calls made are tail-calls, and thus the algorithm is iterative. We can explicitly remove the tail-calls if our programming language does not do that for us already by turning the argument values passed to the recursive call into assignments, and then looping to the top of the function body again:
// binary-search -- returns the index of value in the given array, or
// -1 if value cannot be found. Assumes array is sorted in ascending order
function binary-search(value, array A[1,..n]): integer
 let start := 1
 let end := n + 1

 loop:
 if start == end: return -1 fi // not found

 let length := end - start
 if length == 1:
 if value == A[start]: return start
 else: return -1 fi
 fi

 let mid := start + (length / 2)
 if value == A[mid]:
 return mid
 else-if value > A[mid]:
 start := mid + 1
 else:
 end := mid
 fi
 repeat
end
Even though we have an iterative algorithm, it's easier to reason about the recursive version. If the number of steps the algorithm takes is , then we have the following recurrence that defines :

The size of each recursive call made is on half of the input size ( ), and there is a constant amount of time spent outside of the recursion (i.e., computing length and mid will take the same amount of time, regardless of how many elements are in the array). By the master theorem, this recurrence has values , which is a "steady state" tree, and thus we use the steady state case that tells us that

Thus, this algorithm takes logarithmic time. Typically, even when n is large, it is safe to let the stack grow by activation records through recursive calls.
difficulty in initially correct binary search implementationsEdit
The article on wikipedia on Binary Search also mentions the difficulty in writing a correct binary search algorithm: for instance, the java Arrays.binarySearch(..) overloaded function implementation does an interative binary search which didn't work when large integers overflowed a simple expression of mid calculation mid = ( end + start) / 2 i.e. end + start > max_positive_integer . Hence the above algorithm is more correct in using a length = end - start, and adding half length to start. The java binary Search algorithm gave a return value useful for finding the position of the nearest key greater than the search key, i.e. the position where the search key could be inserted.
i.e. it returns - (keypos+1) , if the search key wasn't found exactly, but an insertion point was needed for the search key ( insertion_point = -return_value - 1). Looking at boundary values, an insertion point could be at the front of the list ( ip = 0, return value = -1 ), to the position just after the last element, ( ip = length(A), return value = - length(A) - 1) .
As an exercise, trying to implement this functionality on the above iterative binary search can be useful for further comprehension.
Integer MultiplicationEdit
If you want to perform arithmetic with small integers, you can simply use the built-in arithmetic hardware of your machine. However, if you wish to multiply integers larger than those that will fit into the standard "word" integer size of your computer, you will have to implement a multiplication algorithm in software or use a software implementation written by someone else. For example, RSA encryption needs to work with integers of very large size (that is, large relative to the 64-bit word size of many machines) and utilizes special multiplication algorithms.[1]
Grade School MultiplicationEdit
How do we represent a large, multi-word integer? We can have a binary representation by using an array (or an allocated block of memory) of words to represent the bits of the large integer. Suppose now that we have two integers, and , and we want to multiply them together. For simplicity, let's assume that both and have bits each (if one is shorter than the other, we can always pad on zeros at the beginning). The most basic way to multiply the integers is to use the grade school multiplication algorithm. This is even easier in binary, because we only multiply by 1 or 0:
 x6 x5 x4 x3 x2 x1 x0
 × y6 y5 y4 y3 y2 y1 y0
 -----------------------
 x6 x5 x4 x3 x2 x1 x0 (when y0 is 1; 0 otherwise)
 x6 x5 x4 x3 x2 x1 x0 0 (when y1 is 1; 0 otherwise)
 x6 x5 x4 x3 x2 x1 x0 0 0 (when y2 is 1; 0 otherwise)
x6 x5 x4 x3 x2 x1 x0 0 0 0 (when y3 is 1; 0 otherwise)
 ... et cetera
As an algorithm, here's what multiplication would look like:
// multiply -- return the product of two binary integers, both of length n
function multiply(bitarray x[1,..n], bitarray y[1,..n]): bitarray
 bitarray p = 0
 for i:=1 to n:
 if y[i] == 1:
 p := add(p, x)
 fi
 x := pad(x, 0) // add another zero to the end of x
 repeat
 return p
end
The subroutine add adds two binary integers and returns the result, and the subroutine pad adds an extra digit to the end of the number (padding on a zero is the same thing as shifting the number to the left; which is the same as multiplying it by two). Here, we loop n times, and in the worst-case, we make n calls to add. The numbers given to add will at most be of length . Further, we can expect that the add subroutine can be done in linear time. Thus, if n calls to a subroutine are made, then the algorithm takes time.
Divide and Conquer MultiplicationEdit
As you may have figured, this isn't the end of the story. We've presented the "obvious" algorithm for multiplication; so let's see if a divide and conquer strategy can give us something better. One route we might want to try is breaking the integers up into two parts. For example, the integer x could be divided into two parts, and , for the high-order and low-order halves of . For example, if has n bits, we have

We could do the same for :

But from this division into smaller parts, it's not clear how we can multiply these parts such that we can combine the results for the solution to the main problem. First, let's write out would be in such a system:

This comes from simply multiplying the new hi/lo representations of and together. The multiplication of the smaller pieces are marked by the " " symbol. Note that the multiplies by and does not require a real multiplication: we can just pad on the right number of zeros instead. This suggests the following divide and conquer algorithm:
// multiply -- return the product of two binary integers, both of length n
function multiply(bitarray x[1,..n], bitarray y[1,..n]): bitarray
 if n == 1: return x[1] * y[1] fi // multiply single digits: O(1)

 let xh := x[n/2 + 1, .., n] // array slicing, O(n)
 let xl := x[0, .., n / 2] // array slicing, O(n)
 let yh := y[n/2 + 1, .., n] // array slicing, O(n)
 let yl := y[0, .., n / 2] // array slicing, O(n)

 let a := multiply(xh, yh) // recursive call; T(n/2)
 let b := multiply(xh, yl) // recursive call; T(n/2)
 let c := multiply(xl, yh) // recursive call; T(n/2)
 let d := multiply(xl, yl) // recursive call; T(n/2)

 b := add(b, c) // regular addition; O(n)

Email encryption is a method that converts data that is readable into something that is not readable in the hope of preserving the privacy of the data. If used in conjunction with HIPAA security measures, email encryption could assist in protecting the privacy and security of PHI (Protected Health Information). This article will explain how to utilize email encryption to achieve HIPAA compliance by covering its fundamentals. We'll also provide a list of HIPAA-compliant email providers to compare.
Email Encryption to Achieve HIPAA Compliance
Here are some ways that you can utilize encryption in the email to ensure HIPAA compliance:
- Use popular and HIPAA-compliant email services that secure messages in transit and at rest.
- Ensure that you secure the message using high-level encryption techniques, such as obtaining HIPAA certification.
- Limit access to the individuals who can receive and send emails that contain PHI.
- Limit access to audit logs to stop unauthorized access to PHI.
- Allow two-factor authentication to provide more security.
- Inform staff about HIPAA compliance guidelines and procedures, email compliance, and email rules, such as encryption for emails and secure web and online forms.
Following HIPAA guidelines regarding email compliance and rules and these additional steps will ensure PHI transmitted via email stays private and secure. HIPAA-compliant secure email services provide the required tools and features to ensure your PHI is protected and kept safe when sent via email.
The HIPAA Compliance Checklist
HIPAA compliance requires companies to follow the best practices in managing PHI. The HIPAA Compliance Checklist can help ensure that all HIPAA obligations are met and that PHI is secured.
Here's a list of technical safeguards for HIPAA Compliance:
- Implement physical, administrative, and technological safeguards to safeguard the privacy and security of PHI.
- Create HIPAA guidelines and procedures to ensure conformity with HIPAA regulations regarding email communications.
- Train staff on HIPAA policies, procedures, and security guidelines.
- Use access control measures to restrict who has access to PHI.
- Secure email encryption is recommended for all email accounts that contain PHI.
- Check systems for any unauthorized access to or use of PHI.
- Set up audit controls to track and record HIPAA-related activity.
- Update regularly HIPAA policies, procedures, guidelines, and security.
- Ensure HIPAA Compliance is maintained by conducting periodic audits and risk assessments.
- Create an email notification for breach of procedure system to notify via email reports of any unauthorized access to or disclosure of PHI.
What are the HIPAA-compliant email providers?
HIPAA-compliant email service providers include those that satisfy the specifications of HIPAA to protect the privacy and security of PHI. These providers offer security features (email encryption software) like encryption in transit, in-the-middle users' authentication, granular audit trails, and access control to safeguard against unauthorized access.
There are several HIPAA-compliant email service providers available, including:
- Microsoft Office 365 HIPAA/HITECH-compliant plans
- Google G Suite HIPAA or Google Workspace/HITECH-compliant plans
- Proof point HIPAA Compliant Email Services and Encryption
- Six HIPAA Compliant Email Services and File Encryption
- Iron Core HIPAA Compliant Email Service and File Encryption
With these HIPAA-compliant email and email archiving service providers, you can be sure that all personal health information is secure and encrypted when sent via email. You can sign-up for a 30-day free trial with these popular email applications before choosing which email platform suits you best.
Having HIPAA-Compliant Secure Email Providers Is Only A Part Of HIPAA Compliance
HIPAA-compliant email service is only one aspect of HIPAA compliance. HIPAA stipulates that all PHI is kept safe and protected throughout the day. Alongside HIPAA-compliant secure email services, companies must also have guidelines and policies that ensure the privacy and security of email content, especially that of PHI. This includes access control, user authentication, data backup, and disaster recovery procedures. HIPAA also requires companies to perform regular HIPAA risk assessments to determine any vulnerabilities that could be present within their systems.
What is PHI? And why is it essential to secure it?
PHI refers to any protected health information that could be used to identify the patient. Additionally, HIPAA stipulates that all PHI must be secured and private, and encryption of emails is among the most efficient methods to ensure this.
Utilizing HIPAA-compliant email services and encryption techniques, you can ensure your personal information is safe in transit and storage. This ensures the fullest extent of HIPAA compliance standards is met and PHI is kept secure and private.
How does PHI get encrypted during the entire process?
HIPAA-compliant email services use different encryption methods to add an extra layer of security to ensure the privacy and security of PHI.It is used during transit (i.e., while data moves between computers) and at rest (i.e. when saved on different storage devices).
Encryption In Transit
The process of encryption in transit can be described as the act of encryption data as it is moved from one system to the next. This ensures that any PHI sent from one email address to other email recipients remains safe while traveling across networks. HIPAA-compliant secure email services use encryption methods, such as TLS (Transport Layer Security) and SSL (Secure Socket Layer), to safeguard PHI during transport.
Encryption At Rest
"Encryption at rest" refers to the process stored on storage devices or email archives, such as computers. HIPAA-compliant secure email services use various encryption methods like AES 256-Bit Encryption (Advanced Security Standard for Encryption) and PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) to safeguard the privacy of PHI while it is in storage or email archiving.
Who is covered by HIPAA?
Per HIPAA, "Covered Entities" must comply with HIPAA compliance requirements for handling PHI and observing transmission security. The covered entities include:
- Healthcare Industry and Healthcare Organizations
- Healthcare professionals (e.g., hospitals and physicians)
- Health plans (e.g., insurance companies as well as HMOs)
- Associate business (e.g., suppliers who provide solutions to entities covered)
- Any company that handles PHI is a Covered Entity and must comply with HIPAA regulations.
This means using HIPAA-compliant secure email services for all addresses communicating PHI. It also includes implementing encryption techniques to ensure the privacy and security of all PHI.
How can an entity violate HIPAA?
HIPAA considers any unauthorized access to or disclosure of PHI a violation. HIPAA-compliant secure email services are designed to prevent such breaches by encrypting data during transit and storage.
Examples of HIPAA violations are:
- Sending unencrypted emails containing PHI
- Use of unencrypted email addresses in transmitting PHI
- People store unencrypted PHI on storage devices such as computers or devices
- Unauthorized use of secure email addresses and access to PHI
The consequences of these violations could be penalties, fines, and even criminal charges for both organizations and individuals. When you utilize HIPAA-compliant secure email services, you can ensure your private information is kept secure and protected throughout the day.
Penalties For HIPAA Non-Compliance
The penalties for violating HIPAA could be very extreme. HIPAA violations could result in criminal and civil penalties, including as high as $1.5 million in fines for each instance. Additionally, HIPAA regulations may oblige organizations to offer breach notification services for affected patients, which could be costly and long-winded.
IT Support's Role In HIPAA Compliance
IT support plays a crucial role in ensuring HIPAA compliance by implementing HIPAA-compliant email services, encryption techniques, and additional security methods following the business associate agreement. Professionals assist businesses in adhering to HIPAA standards to protect the security of PHI.
Additionally, they can offer guidelines on using HIPAA-compliant secure email services to secure emails containing PHI and guarantee HIPAA compliance. Including IT support is essential for HIPAA compliance.

Pathways Analysis
Pathways analysis is the evaluation technique used to model the security system. It involves breaking down each step of the adversary's pathway from offsite until reaching the asset being protected. Each step corresponds to the adversary overcoming a security element (either a detection or delay element) and the corresponding detection probability or delay time.
Along each pathway, the metric used to determine the effectiveness of the physical protection system is the probability of interruption (PI). This is the probability that the security system successfully detects the adversary attacking along the given pathway so that the response force is able to successfully engage the adversary and prevent completion of the intended task. Once the adversary is interrupted, the probability of neutralization is used to determine the probability that the adversary is stopped. These two values are then used to determine the system effectiveness of the physical protection system (PE) for that pathway. Substituting these values into the conditional risk equation yield:
Rc = ( 1 - PE ) * C = ( 1 - PI PN ) * C

In Oracle if you want to store a small value, such as a one digit code (e.g. 0, 1, 2, 3 4, or Null; or Null, or 1; or 1, or 2), what is the space optimal way to store such a value. Currently I'm looking at a system where it was decided to store these values as VARCHAR2(11 CHAR), but it seems like the wrong option for a column type. From the online Oracle documentation and the almighty Google it seems like the more space optimal storage option with be CHAR(1) as it seems to be the smallest on disk type.
Am I completely wrong in my thinking or doesn't it not matter either way?

The documentation states the size of datatypes here.
0 (the number) is stored as 1 byte. Other single digit numbers will be stored in 2 bytes (one for the exponent, one for the mantissa). You can test this yourself by creating a test table and using the VSIZE() function on test data (doc link).
A CHAR(n) will be stored in n bytes.
I'd always store numbers in a NUMBER. Unless you're dealing with trillions of rows, the space saving will not be significant enough.

Is there an advantage as stroing it as a number? I agree about storing numbers as numbers, but there are not really numbers. That is to say, the numbers are really just codes for other values, like Male/Female, Yes/No, etc. So though it's a numeric representation it's not really a number, it's more an alias. – Eric Day Feb 5 '13 at 17:12
_USER_ but it's still a number representing a foreign key to another table that uses a number as a primary key. And putting numeric data in string fields is a pretty terrible idea for a variety of reasons, not least of which are lack of data integrity, increased space on disk, and funky sorting – JNK Feb 5 '13 at 17:18
_USER_ The irony is that there are no forign key's in this case. This is just how the buiness data is stored. – Eric Day Feb 5 '13 at 17:29
_USER_ you have my sympathies then – JNK Feb 5 '13 at 17:32

Things to consider when buying a Wav - Chair Measurements
How to Measure your Wheelchair for a perfect fit in your New Wav
Ensuring a proper fit between a wheelchair and a wheelchair accessible vehicle is crucial for the comfort and safety when considering your next WAV. In this guide from Jubilee Automotive Group, we will walk you through the steps on how to measure a wheelchair for a wheelchair accessible vehicle.
 1. Measure the Width:
 The first step is to measure the width of your wheelchair. To measure the width accurately, use a tape measure to determine the widest part of the wheelchair, typically across the armrests.
 2. Measure the Height:
 Measure the height of the wheelchair occupant from the floor to the top of their head. This ensures there is enough headroom within the vehicle. Consider any additional cushions or accessories that may affect the overall height.
 3. Measure the Length:
 Determine the length of the wheelchair by measuring from the back of the wheelchair to the front, including any footrests or leg supports.
 4. Evaluate Interior Space:
 Consider the interior layout of the accessible vehicle you are looking to purchase, including the access points, ramps, and the area where the wheelchair will be secured. Ensure that there is sufficient space for the wheelchair to maneuver and for passengers to travel comfortably.
 5. Consult with Professionals:
 When in doubt it's advisable to consult with professionals who specialize in disabled vehicle solutions. At Jubilee our team have previously won customer service awards from AutoTrader and have access to the UK's largest selection of New and Used Wheelchair accessible vehicles. As a result we are able to provide expert guidance on all different types of new and used Wavs and may even be able to offer customised solutions to suit specific adapted vehicle needs.

Continued . . . The Project was authorized under the Flood Control Act of 1965. Project purposes included flood control, general recreation, and fish and wildlife habitat. The project was designed to improve the water quality of Big Stone Lake through modifications of the Whestone River silt barrier. It was also designed to provide flood protection benefits to downstream lands along the Minnesota River and resulted in the establishment of extensive wetland areas.
During the early 1970s, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers constructed a large dam for this project across the Minnesota River, which impounded approximately 5,000 acres of surface water. A water control and spillway overflow structure were installed in the dam to provide for the manipulation of the water levels in the large wetland impoundment. Lands for the project were initially acquired by the Corps of Engineers in 1971, then subsequently transferred to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in fee title during May 1975. All the lands (11,115 acres) acquired by the Fish and Wildlife Service were incorporated into the land base for Big Stone Refuge.

Dialogue takes on a whole new level with chairwork, a therapeutic exercise in which a client hosts back-and-forth conversations to heal, transform, and gain insight internally.
Read on to learn more about what a chairwork session entails and whether it might be right for your needs below.
What is chairwork?
Chairwork is an experiential method of psychotherapy that is based on the belief that it is healing and transformative for people to speak from their inner voices, parts, or selves and for them to enact or re-enact scenes from the past, the present, or the future.
Chairwork has roots in psychodrama and Gestalt therapy. It can take several forms, though it typically entails two chairs and role play. Two common chairwork scenarios are:
- Empty chair: The client acts as though a person from their life is in the empty chair, and speak to them as if they were there.
- Two chairs: The client moves back and forth between two chairs, either acting out both parts of the role play, or having an imagined conversation with two different parts of themselves.
Chairwork can be effective in efforts to better understand the point of view of others, or to navigate feelings around "unfinished business," such as abandonment and abuse.
Chairwork can be incorporated into many other modalities, including Gestalt therapy, process-experiential therapy, re-decision therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and schema therapy. It is typically introduced as part of a long-term therapeutic relationship, within the context of ongoing treatment.
How does chairwork work?
Clients work directly with their therapists to identify an unresolved conflict – either internal, or with someone else. Clients work through the conflict using role play techniques.
What are the goals of chairwork treatment?
Chairwork invites clients to more directly confront what they're dealing with. It is designed to reduce a variety of issues, including self-criticism, rumination, shame, indecision, and unresolved feelings towards others.
Structure of chairwork sessions
The patient and the therapist identify a problem or a source of suffering that they wish to address or alleviate.
The therapist then sets up two or more chairs, and the patient uses them as anchors for dialogues with people or figures from their past, present, or future.
Alternately, they may have internal dialogues with critical voices, parts that are in pain or are very frightened, and with parts that are engaging in addictive or other destructive behaviors.
The therapist coaches the patient through this work so that the patient can have a courageous and emotionally intense experience.
What can chairwork help with?
In terms of diagnoses, chairwork can be used with any emotional problem, as long as the patient is capable of engaging in psychotherapy.
In actual practice, it is best suited for individuals who want to have a therapeutic experience that is active and intense, and which leads to more rapid change and healing.
Specifically, chairwork has been used in the treatment of:
- Eating disorders
- Post-traumatic stress disorder
- Substance misuse
- Personality disorders
- Childhood trauma
- Unresolved grief
With support and guidance from the therapist, the client creates a dialogue and grows to process experiences and emotions, and learns to more confidently assert themself, understand the viewpoint of others, forgive, and hold others accountable.
Which types of therapists offer chairwork in their sessions?
Therapists who offer chairwork often include:
- Schema Therapists
- Emotion-Focused Therapists
- Clinicians who have participated in the Transformational Chairwork training
Some Gestalt therapists do Chairwork, while others do not.
Chairwork: A final note
Chairwork is an emotionally intense form of therapy. Some patients find this to be challenging and, in response, the therapist can make adjustments in terms of the speed and intensity with which the dialogue work proceeds.
However, it is important to keep in mind that for real healing to occur it is often necessary to have an in-depth encounter with difficult memories and feelings. Therapies that do not evoke high levels of emotion may, ultimately, be less effective.
Chairwork is one of the most powerful vehicles for healing in all of psychotherapy. For patients who are willing to engage with it, this kind of dialogue practice can help them: (a) effectively engage and heal their inner suffering; and (b) find and use their voice and act with courage in the world.


libBGPStream Tutorial
libBGPStream is a C library that facilitate the creation of a sorted stream of BGP records.
Below we provide the following tutorials:
Get familiar with the API: count the BGP elems
In this example we show how to use most of the C library API functions to count the BGP elems in the current stream. The example is fully functioning and it can be compiled and run using the following commands (example code):
$ gcc ./bgpstream-tutorial.c -lbgpstream -o ./tutorial
$ ./tutorial
Read 5519 elems
The program instantiates an instance of BGPStream that uses the CAIDA broker as data interface (default), and it counts the elems that match the filters (collectors, record type, and time).
Step by step description
The first step in each program using libBGPStream, is to allocate memory for a BGPStream instance and for a pointer for BGPStream record. The latter is a pointer pointing to the most recent record read.
bgpstream_t *bs = bs = bgpstream_create();
bgpstream_record_t *rec;
The second step consists in customizing the stream using the project, collector, type, and time interval filters. The time interval filter is mandatory, whereas the others are optional. In this specific case, we are configuring the stream to return the BGP records read from Updates dumps generated by RRC06 and Route View Jinx collectors, having a timestamp in the interval 10:10:10 - 11:11:11 Sun, 10 Oct 2010 GMT.
bgpstream_add_filter(bs, BGPSTREAM_FILTER_TYPE_COLLECTOR, "rrc06"); bgpstream_add_filter(bs, BGPSTREAM_FILTER_TYPE_COLLECTOR, "route-views.jinx"); bgpstream_add_filter(bs, BGPSTREAM_FILTER_TYPE_RECORD_TYPE, "updates"); bgpstream_add_interval_filter(bs,_PHONE_,_PHONE_);
At this point we can start the stream, and repeatedly ask for new BGP records and BGP elems (the elem pointer points to memory that is borrowed from BGPStream, one has to use the API copy function to own the memory). Each time a valid record is read, we extract the elems that it contains, and we increment a counter.
bgpstream_elem_t *elem;
while((ret = bgpstream_get_next_record(bs, &rec))>0)
{
 if(rec->status == BGPSTREAM_RECORD_STATUS_VALID_RECORD)
 {
 while(bgpstream_record_get_next_elem (rec, &elem)>0)
 {
 elem_counter++;
 }
 }
}
Once the entire stream has been read, we can print the results, and de-allocate the memory the BGPStream instance.
printf("\tRead %d elems\n", elem_counter);
bgpstream_destroy(bs);
Complete Example
Get the code.
#include <stdio.h>
#include "bgpstream.h"
int
main()
{
 /* Allocate memory for a bgpstream instance */
 bgpstream_t *bs = bs = bgpstream_create();
 if(!bs) {
 fprintf(stderr, "ERROR: Could not create BGPStream instance\n");
 return -1;
 }
 bgpstream_record_t *rec;
 /* The broker interface is set by default */
 /* Select bgp data from RRC06 and route-views.jinx collectors only */
 bgpstream_add_filter(bs, BGPSTREAM_FILTER_TYPE_COLLECTOR, "rrc06");
 bgpstream_add_filter(bs, BGPSTREAM_FILTER_TYPE_COLLECTOR, "route-views.jinx");
 /* Process updates only */
 bgpstream_add_filter(bs, BGPSTREAM_FILTER_TYPE_RECORD_TYPE, "updates");
 /* Select a time interval to process:
 * Sun, 10 Oct 2010 10:10:10 GMT - Sun, 10 Oct 2010 11:11:11 GMT */
 bgpstream_add_interval_filter(bs,_PHONE_,_PHONE_);
 /* Start bgpstream */
 if(bgpstream_start(bs) < 0) {
 fprintf(stderr, "ERROR: Could not init BGPStream\n");
 return -1;
 }
 int ret;
 int get_next_ret = 0;
 int elem_counter = 0;
 /* Pointer to a bgpstream elem, memory is borrowed from bgpstream,
 * use the elem_copy function to own the memory */
 bgpstream_elem_t *elem;
 /* Read the stream of records */
 while((ret = bgpstream_get_next_record(bs, &rec))>0)
 {
 /* Get next record */
 /* Check if there are new records and if they are valid records */
 if(rec->status == BGPSTREAM_RECORD_STATUS_VALID_RECORD)
 {
 /* Get next elem in the record */
 while(bgpstream_record_get_next_elem (rec, &elem)>0)
 {
 elem_counter++;
 }
 }
 }
 /* Print the number of elems */
 printf("\tRead %d elems\n", elem_counter);
 /* De-allocate memory for the bgpstream */
 bgpstream_destroy(bs);
 return 0;
}
Prefix monitoring
In this second example, we show how to implement a program that outputs all the announcements and withdrawal messages for a specific prefix, 2403:f600::/32, observed by Route Views 2 and RRC00 during the time interval 01:20:10 - 06:32:15 on Tue, 12 Aug 2014 UTC. The example is fully functioning and it can be compiled and run using the following commands:
$ gcc ./bgpstream-pfx-mon.c -lbgpstream -o ./pfx-monitoring
$ ./pfx-monitoring

Rebound Hammer Test: –
Testing the strength of concrete without destructing or breaking it after hardening is a complex task.
As we already discussed the Compressive strength of concrete by Concrete Cube test which is a destructive test worked out in the lab. You can refer here.
Rebound hammer test is a Non-destructive (NDT test of Concrete) and simple concrete test which is used to test the Compressive strength of concrete without any damage. Moreover, the best part of Rebound hammer test is concrete can be tested in real time at the site instead of going to the lab without any damage.
Concrete Rebound hammer test was first covered by IS 13311 (Part 2) – 1992. Swiss engineer Ernst Schmidt is the name of the scientist who first introduced Rebound hammer test, and it is also called as Schmidt hammer test or Swiss Hammer Test.
Now let's dive into rebound hammer test:
Before knowing the procedure learn how Schidmt hammer works and measures Compressive strength of concrete.
About Schmidt hammer test:
Schidmt hammer consists of Spring loaded hammer Elastic mass (test equipment) ended with a plunger which can be easily operated with your hand. This hammer is impacted on the surface of the sample. The Schidmt hammer hit the concrete at defined energy, and rebound number is measured with the help of writer and the rebound number correlated with the Compressive strength of concrete.
For understanding, Take a rubber band and stretch it oppositely, Rubberband has an elastic property which it regains or rebound to its original position Similarly, Schmidt hammer is impacted on a concrete surface and then it rebounds to its original position. For more details about Hammer refer the following figure of Schmidt Rebound Hammer.
The impact of rebound is evaluated using a graph of the hardness of the concrete & rebound number, and then the compressive strength is calculated.
Operation of the Schmidt Rebound hammer:
The operation of Schmidt hammer is depicted in the following diagram and you can also refer the above figure 1 for clear understanding.
From Figure 3, the first image of the Rebound hammer is set the right angle to the concrete surface and in the second hammer is pushed to the concrete surface at defined energy. And in the third, the hammer is released, so in the fourth image, the hammer rebounds and shows rebound number in the graduated scale.
Procedure for Schmidt hammer test or Rebound Hammer Test:
Before starting the procedure calibration of the hammer is required. To do this, the Schmidt hammer is tested against the Steel test anvil which has a Brinell hardness number of about 5000MPa.
- Clean the surface of concrete, ensure the concrete is clean and dirt free.
- As mentioned in the Operation of Rebound hammer, it involves four stages in the first stage the hammer is held at right angles to the Concrete Surface of structure for finding the rebound number.
- Ensure that the hammer is placed exactly right angle to the concrete surface other angles may show a discrepancy in results.
Below diagram depicts the different positions to test the concrete specimen.
- The procedure is same for different positions but ensure that you are holding the hammer in right angles to the test specimen. Suppose to test the strength of column the Horizontal Position is implemented. Similarly for testing beam strength Vertical Upward Position is implemented.
- After Holding Hammer in position then the plunger is made to hit the concrete surface with impact energy.
- Approximate Impact energy levels are mentioned in the below table. The impact energy is different for different applications of concrete.
|Applications||Impact Energy for Rebound Hammer in Nm|
|light weight concrete||0.75|
|Normal Weight Concrete||2.25|
|For mass concrete testing Eg: In roads, hydraulic structures and pavements||30|
- After pushing plunger towards the concrete surface, it rebounds back and shows a reading in a graduated scale which is noted as a rebound number.
- 5-6 readings of rebound number are measured and average the results for rebound index.
- After finding the rebound index, the value is correlated with the Compressive strength by using the below graph.
Rebound Hammer Test Graph:
As you can see there are different lines are interpolated in the graph. The graph is different for different positions which is clearly depicted.
Suppose, if the average rebound number for horizontal position (concrete column) is 38(rebound index) as per graph the Compressive strength is 36N/mm2
The below table gives Quality of concrete for different values of rebound number.
|Average Rebound number||Quality of concrete|
|>40||Very good hard layer|
|30 to 40||Good Layer|
|20 to 30||Fair|
Advantages of Rebound hammer:
- It is a simple and instant test which can be performed on site.
- This test does not require any calculation to find the Compressive strength, find a rebound number and correlate it in graph.
- It is a Non-destructive test which is very helpful in finding the strength of old monuments.
- The price of the rebound hammer is low when compared with the Universal testing machine to find the Compressive strength of concrete.
- This method is not only used to find out the Compressive strength of concrete it also helps in comparing one particular element to other and to find the concrete uniformity and quality as well.
Disadvantages of Rebound hammer:
- The Hammer should be precisely pushed in right angle to the surface other intermediate angles show wrong results.
- Flaws cannot be detected easily, and periodic maintenance is must required.
- Rebound hammer test is influenced by various factors: type of cement & aggregate, atmospheric moisture and presence of moisture content in concrete constituents and curing methods.

How Setting Small Goals Can Boost Mental Health
By Brandi Goodman
Mental health struggles can be a challenge to manage. You may want to feel better and no longer experience symptoms of depression, but that is easier said than done. Stress and negative thinking can drastically alter our mood and well-being. Starting out with small goals, however, can help you make major improvements in your mental health journey.
Small Goals are Easier to Achieve
If you start by setting a large goal, such as no longer feeling depressed, this may be difficult to accomplish. Setting smaller goals gives you something easier to achieve. You're more likely to reach a goal of a smaller magnitude than a significant one. Simply say you want to find one positive thing in the day to make you smile or get up and finish one task around the house. These smaller options can earn you a huge reward when you start to notice how many you've achieved.
Small Goals Can Make Up a Large One
You can still have a large overall goal that you want to reach. You just need to break it down into several smaller steps along the way. As you reach each one, you will start to see a clearer path to the finish line. Say you have four small goals that will result in the final one. You achieve one and you're already a quarter of the way there. Reach two and you're halfway with only half more to go. It's a more positive way at looking at the situation which can improve your mindset.
Achieving Goals Releases Dopamine
Every time you set a goal for yourself and actually achieve it, you feel good. This is because your brain releases dopamine. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that sends signals to the brain to feel good. If you are consistently meeting small goals, you're consistently receiving a shot of dopamine that can make you feel motivated, concentrated, and blissful. These feelings can drastically improve mood and mental health, leading you from negative thoughts and feelings to positive emotions.
Struggles with mental health will not go away easily. They may not ever go away at all. However, you can try to set small goals for yourself that will help you to feel better over time and have more good days than bad. Taking care of yourself and striving to ease your mental health struggles one step at a time is a step in the right direction.

Limiting Magnitude
This is the magnitude (or brightness) of the faintest star that can be seen with a telescope. The larger the number, the fainter the star that can be seen. An approximate formula for determining the visual limiting magnitude of a telescope is 7.5 + 5 log aperture (in cm).
This is the formula that we use with all of the telescopes we carry, so that our published specs will be consistent from aperture to aperture, from manufacturer to manufacturer. Some telescope makers may use other unspecified methods to determine the limiting magnitude, so their published figures may differ from ours.
Keep in mind that this formula does not take into account light loss within the scope, seeing conditions, the observer's age (visual performance decreases as we get older), the telescope's age (the reflectivity of telescope mirrors decreases as they get older), etc. The limiting magnitudes specified by manufacturers for their telescopes assume very dark skies, trained observers, and excellent atmospheric transparency – and are therefore rarely obtainable under average observing conditions. The photographic limiting magnitude is always greater than the visual (typically by two magnitudes).

We present the photometry and spectropolarimetry of the pre‐main‐sequence star HD 106506. A photometric rotational period of ∼1.416 ± 0.133 d has been derived using observations at Mount Kent Observatory (MKO). Spectropolarimetric data obtained with the 3.9‐m Anglo‐Australian Telescope (AAT) were used to derive spot occupancy and magnetic maps of the star through the technique of Zeeman Doppler imaging (ZDI). The resulting brightness maps indicate that HD 106506 displays photospheric spots at all latitudes including a predominant polar spot. Azimuthal and radial magnetic images of this star have been derived, and a significant azimuthal magnetic field is indicated, in line with other active young stars. A solar‐like differential rotation law was incorporated into the imaging process. Using Stokes I information the equatorial rotation rate, Ωeq, was found to be 4.54 ± 0.01 rad d−1, with a photospheric shear δΩ of 0.21+0.02−0.03 rad d−1. This equates to an equatorial rotation period of ∼1.39 ± 0.01 d, with the equatorial region lapping the poles every ∼ 30+5−3 d. Using the magnetic features, the equatorial rotation rate, Ωeq, was found to be 4.51 ± 0.01 rad d−1, with a photospheric shear δΩ of 0.24 ± 0.03 rad d−1. This differential rotation is approximately four times that observed on the Sun.
