Freezing herbs may not seem to like something many people do, but it's a great way to preserve them. Parsley is a notoriously difficult herb to keep fresh.
Whether you have tried to keep many a parsley plant alive on your kitchen windowsill or have a handful of leaves lying limp and sad in your refrigerator, we've all struggled with parsley.
Of course, there's the option of dried parsley which is useful, keeps well, and is still delicious but isn't as good as fresh parsley.
One of the reasons parsley is dried is so that it will keep longer but you can freeze dried parsley. You can also freeze fresh parsley but this needs a bit more work than dried parsley.
So, if your parsley is currently looking a little sad and you're looking for a way to desperately preserve it instead of tragically throwing it away (again), read on for some tips and tricks.
How to Freeze Parsley
There are a few different ways to freeze parsley, but the best one for you depends on what you will be using it for.
Freezing dried parsley is easy and probably the simplest option in this guide. Dried parsley can simply be placed in a container and then inside the freezer. It will keep its shape while frozen and the pieces won't clump together.
If you decide to defrost the dried parsley, then it may become soft and soggy. When something is frozen, ice crystals form on them which then defrost as the food defrosts. This water will then be absorbed by the parsley.
But, no problem, simply sprinkle the frozen parsley into whatever dish you might be making. As the food cooks, the parsley will defrost, and the water will evaporate.
Freezing Fresh Parsley
Freezing fresh parsley is different from freezing dried parsley. As dried parsley has already been preserved through the drying, it doesn't need anything additional doing to it.
This is true of fresh parsley (to an extent) and you can place stems and/or leaves or parsley in a freezer bag and just throw it in the freezer.
If you choose to do this, then make sure that you squeeze out all of the air beforehand. Then, when you want to use it, you can just snap off a piece and throw it in with the other ingredients.
There is a chance, however, that fresh parsley may react badly to being frozen and wilt and become discolored. The best way to freeze parsley is in an ice cube tray with butter.
You may have seen this in kitchen "hack" videos and thought it looked like a cool idea but one that probably doesn't work that well. But let me tell you, it's a great way to not only keep parsley for longer but completely up your cooking game.
It's super simple to do as well. Just chop up some parsley and mix it with some butter. Add a little chopped garlic too if you fancy, and then spoon the mixture into ice cube trays. Then, freeze the cubes and take them out as and when you need them.
Voila, you have seasoning ready and waiting in your freezer. It's delicious and will help keep your parsley from going to waste. It will also make cooking dinner so much easier as you won't have to prep as much.
How to Defrost Parsley
Defrosting parsley is perhaps not the best option. Once parsley has been frozen, it's best to use it as it is. When parsley is defrosted, it will potentially take on water and become mushy.
Your best choice, if you choose to freeze parsley, is to use it frozen. It's unlikely that you will be using parsley in something that isn't being cooked, so using frozen parsley will be fine.
But, if you choose to defrost the parsley, make sure you do so in the refrigerator. It's always best to defrost food in the refrigerator as it is a slower process. Defrosting at room temperature or in the microwave is an option, but it won't work as well.
Remove the parsley from its container and place it on a few layers of paper towels on top of a plate. The paper towels help absorb the water that comes off the parsley as it defrosts. This won't stop it from going completely mushy, but it might help.
Factors to Consider Before Freezing Parsley
Before you freeze parsley, consider what you're going to be using it for. If you're going to use it in any kind of cooking, then you should be fine to cook it frozen.
If you plan to use it for roasting, then you may be able to use it frozen but this might not be a great option. As the parsley defrosts, steam will be produced which, if the other food in the oven isn't also frozen, may affect the cooking process and the taste and texture of the other food.
The best way to freeze parsley is in an ice cube tray with some butter. This will be absolutely delicious, no matter what you're cooking.
Overall, freezing parsley isn't a bad idea. If you freeze dried parsley, then it should be okay but this isn't really necessary. Dried parsley keeps for a long time and if you're worried that your dried parsley may be going bad, then you're not using it often enough. You need to make better use of this delicious herb!
If you choose to freeze fresh parsley so that you can use them in cooking when they're frozen, then be prepared for them to stick together. They may also go bad and become discolored.
If you decide to defrost either the dried parsley or fresh parsley, then be prepared for it to go really mushy and not taste as nice. The best option, by far, is to chop to parsley up and freeze it in an ice cube tray with some butter and garlic. Delicious!
We hope you feel confident in freezing leftover heavy cream so that you can take steps to reduce your food waste.
Heavy cream can be added to hot and cold recipes and is always a good staple to have on hand. It is best when used in sauces as the whipping capacities may not be as good, but it will still hold air.
Your dessert presentation will always be fantastic and you never have to worry about not having any heavy cream in. Take care to follow these steps so you freeze heavy cream perfectly every time.

As a logical connection between two Technical Pavillions a simple, yet elegant poedestrian bridge has been created. Joyfully a line jumps from one building to the other, hugging the bridge. As a contrast to the sharp angles a blue line elegantly folds itsself around the bridge. Symbolic for the three schools that are located in the two buildings, six small neon markings have been applied that from three plus subols from a certain viewing angle.
Both seen from the inside and the outside the blue line and the bridge engage in an exciting play connecting the two buildings. In the evening the neon is lit and the marking become visible.

every 8 hours on FTX the funding payments happen every hour. Towards the right side you'll find the information on funding rate and predicted rate.
hourly funding
So how much funding do you pay or receive?
How to calculate the funding fee?
Funding rate is applied in proportion to the size of the traders position. That is the calculated funding rate is applied to the traders notional position size regardless of their leverage.
An example:
Let's say you are long 10000 contracts (10000 USD) @ $10000. The current BTC price is $10000 and the funding rate is 0.01%. Whether you are 1x long, 10x long or 100x long. You'll be paying the same fee which is $1.
funding fee calculation
Now here is how to calculate the funding fees.
Funding calculation:
 - Inverse perpetual swap:
Funding rate payment = (Funding rate * Position notional) / Current BTC price
 - USDT perpetual:
Funding rate payment = (Funding rate * Position notional) * Current BTC price
Example 1: Inverse Perpetual Swaps
Let us assume the funding rate is 0.02% (Positive, means long pay shorts). You have a position size of 50000 contracts and the current BTC price is $17200. Here is the calculation.
50000 * 0.02% = $10. Now divide this by current BTC value that is 10 / 17200 = 0.00058139 BTC or in other words 58139 Satoshi is the fee you will be paying.
You can use our Satoshi to USD converter tool to know the value of Satoshi.
Example 2: USDT perpetual
Let us assume the funding rate is 0.01% and you are long 20 BTC. Here is how to calculate funding if you are trading on USDT perpetual.
20 * 0.01% = 0.002 BTC. Now multiply this value to current BTC price that is 0.002 x 17200 = 34.4$. This is the funding fee you'll be paying.
As you can see the leverage doesn't matter at all. Its all your position size. Since it accounts the amount of leverage used funding rates can have a huge impact on ones PNL (Profit and Loss). Especially those with high leverage.
Hope that explains how to calculate the funding fee for your position size on both USDT perpetual and inverse perpetual swaps. Now here are few key points to note about funding rate.
Key points: Funding rate
 1. Every derivatives exchange uses funding mechanism on perpetual contracts. This maintains a balance between buy and sell ratio every 8 hours and it ensures the price does not deviate too much away from the index spot price.
 2. Funding is a fee that is not charged by the exchange. They do not gain anything from this. Funding rate is peer-to-peer. It is a fee that is exchanged directly between longs and shorts.
 3. Funding rate is calculated by the exchange and it varies over time on each exchange. If the rate is positive, then longs pay shorts. If the rate is negative, then shorts pay longs. The information on funding rate and fees will be displayed on the trading platform in advance.
 4. If you close your position before the funding period then you'll neither pay nor receive any fee from funding.
 5. The funding fee only applies to perpetual contracts. Not to futures contracts.
 6. Funding rate usually works against popular traders. If most traders are long BTC then the funding rate tend to increase and that confirms the buying interest. If more traders are shorting Bitcoin then funding rate tend to go negative and that confirms the selling interest.
Historically Bitcoin has been on a bullish upward trending market. This is the reason why long traders have largely paid funding to the short traders.
The rate tend to vary as the trend turns bullish or bearish. If the rate diminishes then it shows less interest from traders. However do note that funding rate does not confirm that price for sure will move in a particular direction.
Hope this explains everything about funding. It applies to Bitcoin, Ethereum and every other altcoin perpetual contracts.
Thank you for reading. Hoping to see you in another interesting guide.

Bootham Park Hospital (formerly York Lunatic Asylum)
Bootham Park Hospital 2008
Just a short stroll out of the city walls through Bootham Bar and along the road called Bootham will be rewarded with a vista of many beautiful Georgian buildings. A few hundred yards along, set back off the road in its own grounds stands what you might mistake for a country house. It is in fact, Bootham Park Hospital, formerly the notorious York Lunatic Asylum.
In 1772 at a meeting at York Castle, the Archbishop of York called together gentlemen of the three ridings of Yorkshire, along with Dr Alexander Hunter and architect John Carr. His intention was to create a lunatic asylum to prevent the mentally ill from being placed in unsuitable institutions like prisons.
Carr's practice was at its peak and the grand building was completed by 1777. With its applied Tuscan columns, pediment and fashionable Venetian windows, it was reported in the press as 'an elegant and expensive affair', but it didn't please everyone. William Mason, a Precentor at the Minster, wrote that its extravagant design was a waste of public money and suggested it should instead be advertised as 'a lunatic hotel'.
It was later discovered that despite its grandiose exterior some patients were held in terrible squalor. Indeed the conditions at the asylum were the stimulus for the foundation of the The Retreat at York which became world renowned for its pioneering treatment of the mentally ill.
The abuses at the York Asylum later became the centre of a great controversy. A national investigation in 1813-14 led to questions in Parliament. Some of the asylum records were burned in a suspiciously timed fire and two different sets of financial accounts were discovered. The resulting scandal led to substantial reforms in the way the hospital was run.

Christiansted National Historic Site
Christiansted National Historic Site was established in 1952 through the initiative of concerned local citizens. The park preserves the historic structure and grounds within its boundaries and interprets the Danish economy and way of life here between 1733 and 1917.The wharf area of Christiansted once played an important role in the mercantilist system that linked Europe, West Africa, the West Indies, and North America. From 1734 until 1803, it was part of the infamous Triangular Trade. Slaves were acquired for cheap manufactured goods at ìfactories,î or slaving forts, along the Guinea Cost of West Africa, and shipped to the West Indies via the inhuman ìMiddle Passage.î At Christiansted, the slaves were auctioned off, and the ships cargoes replenished with local exports bound for Europe and North America.Building materials, agricultural supplies, household furnishings, livestock, and foodstuffs were imported to help St. Croix meet the needs of its vigorous plantation economy. In turn, the island exported sugar, molasses, rum, cotton, and tropical hardwood. Especially between 1760 and 1820, wealth derived from sugar, rum, and slaves enabled an extravagant life style among the upper class of St. Croix society.The United States market accounted for approximately 75% of St. Croixís agricultural exports by 1830. The sale of the Danish West Indies to the United States in 1917 only formalized an economic relationship that had long existed between the Virgin Islands and the mainland.

Is Fiber Optic Networking Technology More Secure Than Copper?
August 19, 2020Download PDF
Fiber optic cabling is commonly perceived as a solid choice for mitigating network security concerns. Because optical connections transmit data using light, they don't radiate signals that can be intercepted. Security for traditional copper Ethernet connections can now be significantly enhanced, however, thanks to end-to-end encryption standards.
The MACsec IEEE standard (IEEE 802.1AE) enhances security on networks by providing point-to-point, Layer 2 encryption between devices on a virtual or physical local area network (LAN). This eliminates the need for a dedicated security device, in some instances. Though MACsec was introduced in 2006, its adoption has been gaining traction recently after support was added to the mainline Linux® kernel. As a result, modern MACsec-enabled network switches and computing hardware can now deliver enhanced security for LANs, regardless of network media. This reduces the security advantage fiber optics had over copper.
In addition to providing data confidentiality through Layer 2 encryption, MACsec defines a security infrastructure to provide data origin authentication, data integrity, and replay protection. The protocol authenticates nodes through a secure exchange of randomly generated keys, ensuring data can only be transmitted and received by MACsec-configured nodes. This prevents disruption or data loss from transmission or reception by unauthorized devices. In addition, each MAC frame carries a data integrity check value to ensure accuracy and consistency throughout transmission. That means all frames copied from the LAN cannot be resent into the LAN without detection.
When it comes to security, MACsec's strong encryption capabilities have given traditional twisted-pair (copper) networking stronger network security legs to stand on. This has positioned copper wiring for some applications where fiber optic cabling was formerly the sole contender.

New method for testing solar sensitivity of commercial formulations of the granulovirus of codling moth (Cydia pomonella, Tortricidae: Lepidoptera)
A method for screening codling moth granulovirus (CpGV) formulation sensitivity to sunlight using specially prepared half apples and a solar simulator is described. The half apple preparation allows an even coverage of virus over the surface of the fruit that would not be possible using whole apples. Leaves and artificial medium were not usable for extended periods of exposure in the solar simulator due to excess drying. Fruit was sprayed with 10−3and 10−5 dilutions of three commercial formulations of CpGV (Carpovirusine, Cyd-X, and Virosoft) and infested with codling moth neonates. Half of the sprayed fruit was exposed to 650 W/m2 for 4 h in an Atlas Suntest CPS solar simulator resulting in an accumulated radiant energy of 9.36 × 106 J/m2 before they were infested with neonate codling moth larvae. Spraying non-irradiated fruit with the 10−3 dilution of Cyd-X and Virosoft resulted in nearly 100% mortality of neonate larvae. Irradiation reduced viral activity by 71–98% at the 10−3 dilution and by up to 32% at the 10−5 dilution relative to non-irradiated fruit. The procedures utilized enabled good preservation of the fruit throughout the incubation period and minimized invasion of the fruit by plant pathogens and saprophytic organisms. This laboratory method for screening candidate formulations and potential UV protectants could conserve time and resources by eliminating adjuvants with less potential in laboratory tests and field testing only the most promising candidates. It also enables year-round testing.

Scala Question
In Scala, How can Manifest implicitly be caputured in context?
def getManifest[T : Manifest] = implicitly[Manifest[T]]
class A[T]
object A {
def apply[T] = new A[T]
}
def getA[T : A] = implicitly[A[T]]
val m = getManifest[Int]
//res0: Manifest[Int] = Int
val a = getA[Int]
//<console>:14: error: could not find implicit value for evidence parameter of type A[Int]
Even though there is no implicit variable in context
by calling
getManifest[Int]
,
m
of type
Manifest[Int]
is caputred implicitly
However my custom class A,
getA[Int]
emits an error
Because there is no implicit variable in cotext.
What is the difference between class A and Manifest
does Scala compiler knows about Manifest and do some magic ???
like, creating some implicit variables for Manifest
Answer
Short answer is yes. Manifests are compiler magic where the Scala compiler will automatically conjure up implicit instances of them for types as they are needed. They're used to get around type erasure on the JVM (the problem that at runtime generic types get erased so for example a List[Int] looks the same as a List[String]).
See What is a Manifest in Scala and when do you need it? for more details.
They are also deprecated now in favor of TypeTags.

What is live resin?
How is it made? Is resin different from rosin? Can I smoke it?
Live resin is typically made using a butane extraction process, whereas live rosin is solvent-less and typically made using a heat press (rosin press).
Cannabis is a powerful yet delicate plant. You can keep it simple and smoke the buds or flowers, but you can also extract oils, waxes, and other concentrates (like crumble) from the plant which can then either be smoked, vaped, or used to cook with. This process of extraction refines the plant, allowing for more control over specific cannabinoid concentrations within the end product.
So what is live resin? How is it extracted or made?
The process to make live resin starts with freshly harvested cannabis plants. Immediately after being chopped, plants are frozen to subcritical temperatures (WAY BELOW FREEZING temps). This locks in all of those "juices" that give your cannabis plant its smell and flavor profiles.
Flash-freezing the cannabis plant ensures protection of the trichomes and terpenes within them, completely bypassing the drying and curing processes. They are kept at these freezing temps throughout the extraction process. Typically live resin extraction takes place in a lab with professionals using a butane based extraction technique.

What does the process of extraction entail?
There are many extraction processes you can deploy, some processes include intense laboratories, equipment, and chemicals, while some processes only require an oven or a large heat press. Each process will result in a different end product, so it's important to know more about these processes and what's involved so that you can ask your budtender the right questions AND so that you know exactly what you're consuming and how to consume it properly.
Why skip the drying and curing process to make live resin?
Because as your plants hang to dry, they naturally dry themselves. During that drying process, trichomes can be damaged from fluctuating temps and humidity levels. This means that you can actually lose a lot of natural aromas during the drying and curing process if it's not done correctly.
Do I smoke live resin? What's the best way to consume it?
The best way to consume live resin is by dabbing or vaping it, but you can also sprinkle some in your joints or throw some on top of a bowl. It's typically a sticky, waxy substance that's yellow-ish in color, so you'll want a dab tool or something else to help you collect the concentrate.
That being said, one of the best parts about live resin is the flavors and smells which can be ruined if burned at too high of a temperature. Take your dabs at a low temperature and pull slowly to fully enjoy the spectrum of flavors and aromas.
How should I store live resin?
You definitely want to keep it cool. This is a waxy substance that can become more liquid-y at higher temps, so to keep the consistency and quality, store it in your fridge or a cool, dark, dry place. It's also worth getting a silicon container, as live resin tends to adhere to glass and other substances, making it difficult to use every last bit.

Gang Shen (Ph.D. 2010) to receive 2013 American Physical Society Dissertation Award in Nuclear Physics
September 9, 2012
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. --
Gang Shen (Ph.D. 2010) has been selected to receive the 2013 American Physical Society Dissertation Award in Nuclear Physics. Gang is recognized "for the development of a new self-consistent equation of state of hot and dense matter intended for use in numerical simulations of core-collapse supernova, neutron star mergers and related extreme astrophysical phenomena. This equation of state provides a unified description of matter at the relatively low density and temperature where nuclei are present, and the high density and temperature phase where uniform nuclear matter with neutrons, protons and electrons exists." The award is given to a recent Ph.D. in experimental or theoretical nuclear physics from a North American university within two years from graduation.
As a graduate student and doctoral candidate at CEEM, Gang worked under advisor Dr. Charles Horowitz in the Nuclear Theory group. His doctoral thesis was on "Equation of State for Astrophysical Simulations."
Dr. Shen is currently a Research Associate at the Institute of Nuclear Theory at the University of Washington in Seattle.

How to connect multiple Laser systems to the computer
Connection scheme:
network cable
1. Use standard LAN-cable (Ethernet-cable), minimum of standard CAT-5 (most cables are), and connect the LAN interface of each laser ...
switch wiring
2. ... to the network switch. Any standard, modern network switch is suitable.
daisy chain LAN signal
3. Depending on the Laser system it can also be possible to daisy-chain the LAN signal ...
daisy chain LAN signal
4. ... if the Laser has two or more LAN connectors.
computer control multiple lasers
5. Make sure to use the correct ports (usually marked as LAN / computer / ShowNET / Control or similar).
Not into Interlock
6. Do NOT plug the signal cables into the Interlock port!
Interlock is only for the E-Stop or the Interlock-bridge plug!
LAN-to-computer
7. Connect the network switch to the computer using a LAN cable.
LAN-to-computer multi switch
8. Easily extend the network with adding more network switches. They just pass the signal on.

A. Quick and easy connection with Auto-IP (recommended method!)
The quickest and easiest way to connect the laser with the computer is via Auto-IP. This means that the Laser and the Computer negotiate the communication addresses and each gets a suitable address assigned automatically.
To do so, nothing has to be changed on the computer. It is only necessary to tell the laser that it should negotiate addresses.
 1. Configure the network operation mode:Turn the selection rotary dial until the cursor points to the menu item "Operation mode" and press it once to expand the menu options:
 FB4 main
 2. Turn the rotary dial until the cursor points to the desired operating mode (Beyond/QS) and press it once. The selected operation mode (Beyond/QS) is now active:
 FB4 OP mode Beyond QS
 3. Turn the selection rotary dial until the cursor points to the menu item "Operation mode" and press it to close the menu item.
 4. Turn the selection rotary dial until the cursor points to the menu item "Network Setup" and press it to expand the menu item:
 FB4 BYQS Network Settings
 5. Turn the rotary dial until the cursor points to "Auto IP".
 6. Press the rotary dialonce. The selected network mode (Auto IP) is now active.
 7. Turn the selection rotary dial until the cursor points to the menu item "Network Setup" and press it to close the menu item.
 8. Turn the selection rotary dial until the cursor points to the menu item "Exit Menu" and press it to save all settings and values on the SD card.
If the settings of the computer have been changed or are non-standard, follow these instructions to reset it back to automatic address negotiation. You usually can skip this if you have no idea or haven't changed anything.

icon howto How to set the computer to Auto-IP addressing
 1. Press the Windows-key and type "control panel" (without quotes; this can also be done througn the search bar) > Click on "Control Panel" > Click on Open.

 2. Click on "View network status and tasks" under "Network & Internet".
 image
 3. Click on "Change adapter settings"

 If there are multiple icons in this window, the correct one is usually labeled with "ethernet". It also should have the little network connector icon. Note that it may also have a red "X" if it's disconnected or not properly configured.
 5. Select the Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) option > click the "Properties button".

 6. Select "Obtain an IP address automatically" to let the computer automatically negotiate the IP address.

B. Connect via Static IP (manual configuration mode)
It often makes sense to work with permanent, specifically assigned identifiers per laser in a production environment. The Laser mainboard can be assigned a static IP address to avoid address changes when the network infrastructure is altered. There is no general advantage over the use of Auto IP or DHCP, but sometimes users prefer to use a static IP.
icon howto What's an IP address?
Any device connected to a network environment, such as computers, printers, smartphones and also lasers, no matter if it's a wired connection or wifi network, has a unique identification number. This unique address is the so called IP address.
The IP address type used for the communication with the laser systems consists of a group of 4 numbers (each between 0 and 255), separed by a point (".") symbol. It looks like this:
_URL_
Schematics example of an IP/v4 address:
ip address schematics
If devices shall communicate with each other, they need to reside in the same address range, which means that the first 3 numbers must be the same. The fourth number, however, must be unique for each device in the network.
In a home or office environment the computers and hardware components usually get these addresses assigned automatically by the so called DHCP server, which included in the utmost of routers or wifi access points. That's why it is usually not necessary to take care of setting these addresses manually. However, if there is no DHCP server available, the devices in a network either need to negotiate the suitable addresses for each device between each other (so called Auto IP) or they requrie static IP addresses the be manually set.
As there is usually no DHCP available at show production sites, laser show settings may require either Auto IP setting or static IP.
Show production companies tend to use static IPs, as then the address distribution does not depend on any additional communication between the devices in the network and each unit can be checked on more specifically through the network and various tools.

 1. What is an IP address and how does it work:
 Schematics of an IP/v4 address:
 ip address schematics
 Each laser must be given a different IP address in the same IP address range (see scheme above). Never give the same IP address to different devices in one network!
 This also applies for the computer: The IP address assigned to the computer MUST have a different ending ("D" in the Schematics) than any of the lasers.
 Attention! If a WiFi connection is used on the computer at the same time as the laser control, make sure that the address range (the first part A,B,C; see schematics) is different to the range that is used for the lasers.
 icon howto Determine IP addresses if Wifi and laser control shall work at the same time
 To check on the IP addresses, click on the Wifi network icon in the taskbar > click the Wifi network you're connected to > Properties.
 wifi symbol
 In Properties, look for the IP address listed next to IPv4 address.
 Note: The first 3 numbers of the IP address (the address range, see schematcs) must be different for the wired connection to the laser. For example:
 - Computer's Wifi has an IP of 192.168.0.X -> use any IP like 192.168.1.X or 192.168.2.X or 192.168.254.X
 - Computer's Wifi has an IP of 192.168.1.X -> use any IP like 192.168.0.X or 192.168.2.X or 192.168.254.X
 - Computer's Wifi has an IP of 192.168.2.X -> use any IP like 192.168.0.X or 192.168.1.X or 192.168.254.X
 - Computer's Wifi has an IP of 192.168.254.X -> use any IP like 192.168.0.X or 192.168.1.X or 192.168.2.X
 - Computer's Wifi has an IP of any other number different that 192.168.X.Y -> use any IP like 192.168.0.X or 192.168.1.X
 2.
 3. Specify the IP address
 Parts "A", "B" & "C" (see schematics) must be the same number for all devices, lasers and computer, that shall communicate in the same network.
 In order to prevent issues with internet connection, some address are reserved for internal use (as in this case), so you must setup your network in a proper way:
 - range 192.168.XXX.YYY:
 - XXX: any number from 1 to 254 - remember that it needs to be the same in all your devices!
 - YYY: any number from 1 to 254 - remember that it needs to be different for all your devices!
 - range 10.WWW.XXX.YYY:
 - WWW: any number from 1 to 254 - remember that it needs to be the same in all your devices!
 - XXX: any number from 1 to 254 - remember that it needs to be the same in all your devices!
 - YYY: any number from 1 to 254 - remember that it needs to be different for all your devices!
 The control computer can be anything from 1 to 254, but make sure it does not conflict with any laser. Again: each device must have

Parameters:
 - DailyImportPressures – How Much? A rate of per-day importation for each node that the intervention is distributed to.
 - Durations – How Long? The durations over which to apply import pressure.
 - timestep – When? Day to start campaign event.
 - nodes – Where? Geographic nodes to target.
Be careful when configuring import pressure in multi-node simulations. Daily_Import_Pressures defines a rate of per-day importation for each node that the intervention is distributed to. In a 10 node simulation with Daily_Import_Pressures = [0.1, 5.0], the total importation rate summed over all nodes will be 1/day and 50/day during the two time periods. You must divide the per-day importation rates by the number of nodes.

Get Inside Unbounce
Publishing assets: Sequential vs Parallel
A few days ago, we quietly deployed a change that nearly doubled publishing speed for the vast majority of Unbounce pages.
Our publishing process involves two main steps:
 1. Render the page, and publish it to S3
 2. Find all the assets referenced by the page, and publish them to S3 (where they are served by Cloudfront)
The second step can only be done after the first step is done, because it needs the rendered page to find all the assets. The first step is quite complex, with little room for optimization. However, we recently discovered that there was some low-hanging fruit for optimization in the second step.
We realized that time spent publishing pages is split pretty evenly between those two steps. It takes about as long to deal with all the assets as it does to render the page for publishing. This meant there was an improvement we could make: publishing the assets in parallel.
Sequential vs Parallel
If you were to write out some pseudo-code of what step 2 looks like, it might look something like this:
for each asset in the rendered page, do the following, one at a time:
 download the asset from wherever it's stored
 upload the asset to S3/Cloudfront
A really simple diagram of the flow of this code looks like:
Sequential diagram
This probably seems pretty straightforward, and it is. It's how we've been doing publishing for years. The problem (or potential for improvement) is that it downloads the first asset, and uploads it completely, before it does anything with the second asset. And it does the same with the second asset, before looking at the third one, and so on.
There's a nifty little thing called Amdahl's Law that applies here. It's a bunch of math that, when applied to the situation here, effectively says that if half the publishing time is spent in something we can parallelize, then we can nearly half how long publishing takes. Uploading the assets is a perfect candidate to parallelize.
Here's some pseudocode for the newly parallelized asset publishing:
for each asset in the rendered page, do the following, all at the same time:
 download the asset from wherever it's stored
 upload the asset to S3/Cloudfront
It looks easy when it's pseudocode, but trust me when I say it's not nearly as easy in real code. A really simple diagram of this parallel code looks like:
Parallel diagram
Instead of uploading the assets one at a time, we do them all at the same time. If there were 50 assets, uploading the assets should take about 1/50th the time. That seems like a huge speedup, but when it's applied to the whole publishing time, there's still that pesky rendering to do first.
Also, sadly, running 50 of these at the same time doesn't always mean a 50 time speed up. 50 at the same time means 50 downloads (or uploads) at the same time. If the network connection can't handle that much traffiic, maybe you'll only see a 40 or 30 times speed up. Additionally, if 1 of those 50 is a big file, it probably accounts for more than 1/50th of the time overall, so we still have to wait for it.
So what does all this mean in the end, for our customers? What I've seen from our measurements so far is that for 90% of pages, publishing takes only 58% as long as did before.
This graph shows the median (50 percentile), 90, 95, and 99 percentile numbers for each 3 hour window, over the last 7 days. As you can see, they all drop significantly on the afternoon of the 21st, when we deployed this change.
A page that previously may have taken 13 seconds to publish, now takes less than 8 seconds, and a page that took 7 seconds to publish now takes only 4. This depends on the page, however. Pages that use very few assets, but still take a long time to render won't show as much benefit from this improvement.
I'm really happy with these changes, and I hope you will be too.

MySQL Shell 9.0 / ... / Importing JSON Documents With the --import Command
11.2.3 Importing JSON Documents With the --import Command
Note
The --import command is deprecated and is subject to removal in a future version.
The --import command is available as an alternative to the mysqlsh command interface for command line invocation of the JSON import utility. This command provides a short form syntax without using option names, and it accepts JSON documents from standard input. The syntax is as follows:
mysqlsh user@host:port/mydb --import <path> [target] [tableColumn] [options]
As with the mysqlsh command interface, you must specify the target database, either in the URI-like connection string, or using an additional --schema command line option. The first parameter for the --import command is the file path for the file containing the JSON documents to be imported. To read JSON documents from standard input, specify a dash (-) instead of the file path. The end of the input stream is the end-of-file indicator, which is Ctrl+D on Unix systems and Ctrl+Z on Windows systems.
After specifying the path (or - for standard input), the next parameter is the name of the target collection or table. If standard input is used, you must specify a target.
 - If you use standard input and the specified target is a relational table that exists in the specified schema, the documents are imported to it. You can specify a further parameter giving a column name, in which case the specified column is used for the import destination. Otherwise the default column name doc is used, which must be present in the existing table. If the target is not an existing table, the utility searches for any collection with the specified target name, and imports the documents to it. If no such collection is found, the utility creates a collection with the specified target name and imports the documents to it. To create and import to a table, you must also specify a column name as a further parameter, in which case the utility creates a relational table with the specified table name and imports the data to the specified column.
 - If you specify a file path and a target, the utility searches for any collection with the specified target name. If none is found, the utility by default creates a collection with that name and imports the documents to it. To import the file to a table, you must also specify a column name as a further parameter, in which case the utility searches for an existing relational table and imports to it, or creates a relational table with the specified table name and imports the data to the specified column.
 - If you specify a file path but do not specify a target, the utility searches for any existing collection in the specified schema that has the name of the supplied import file (without the file extension). If one is found, the documents are imported to it. If no collection with the name of the supplied import file is found in the specified schema, the utility creates a collection with that name and imports the documents to it.
If you are importing documents containing representations of BSON (binary JSON) data types, you can also specify the options --convertBsonOid, --extractOidTime=field_name, --convertBsonTypes, and the control options listed in Section 11.2.4, "Conversions for Representations of BSON Data Types".
The following example reads JSON documents from standard input and imports them to a target named territories in the mydb database. If no collection or table named territories is found, the utility creates a collection named territories and imports the documents to it. If you want to create and import the documents to a relational table named territories, you must specify a column name as a further parameter.
mysqlsh user@localhost/mydb --import - territories
The following example with a file path and a target imports the JSON documents in the file /europe/regions.json to the column jsondata in a relational table named regions in the mydb database. The schema name is specified using the --schema command line option instead of in the URI-like connection string:
mysqlsh user@localhost:33062 --import /europe/regions.json regions jsondata --schema=mydb
The following example with a file path but no target specified imports the JSON documents in the file /europe/regions.json. If no collection or table named regions (the name of the supplied import file without the extension) is found in the specified mydb database, the utility creates a collection named regions and imports the documents to it. If there is already a collection named regions, the utility imports the documents to it.
mysqlsh user@localhost/mydb --import /europe/regions.json
MySQL Shell returns a message confirming the parameters for the import, for example, Importing from file "/europe/regions.json" to table 'mydb'.'regions' in MySQL Server at 127.0.0.1:33062.
When an import is complete, or if the import is stopped partway by the user with Ctrl+C or by an error, a message is returned to the user showing the number of successfully imported JSON documents, and any applicable error message. The process returns zero if the import finished successfully, or a nonzero exit code if there was an error.


Door Alarms for Wandering in Dementia
Door Alarms Can Help Alert You if a Loved One with Dementia Is Going Outside
SilviaJansen/ Getty Images
If your loved one or patient with Alzheimer's disease or a different type of dementia wanders and attempts to leave your home or facility, one option to increase their safety is to place alarms on the doors. You can also try different locking mechanisms such as a latch up high, but the concern with that strategy is that in case of a fire, the person may not be able to escape safely out of the house.
An alarm can allow the person to attempt exiting through the door but will also alert you to her need for assistance. Alarms can offer you a little support and reassurance in your efforts to ensure your loved one's safety so that, rather than feel that you have to constantly check on her, you know that the alarm will sound if she suddenly wakes and needs assistance.
Uses for Door Alarms
 - Protect Individuals from Elopement and Wandering
 Whether intentionally attempting to "run away" or simply wandering around and locating a door, those at risk for exiting without the needed supervision may benefit from a door alarm on the exterior doors.
 - Alerts Others for Assistance
 Door alarms can also be used on the bathroom door. They can be placed in such a way that they'll sound when the door is opened, letting you know that your loved one or patient requires assistance in the bathroom.
Types of Door Alarms
 - String Alarm
 A string alarm can be placed high up on the door frame with the string placed across the door opening. If the door opens, it will cause the string, which is held in place by a magnet, to detach from the alarm, causing it to sound. The alarm will stop sounding once the magnet is reattached.
 - Passive InfraRed (PIR) Alarms
 A PIR alarm can be utilized across a door opening so that if the plane across the door is broken, the alarm will sound and alert you to your loved one's need for assistance.
 - Magnetic Door Alarms
 Magnetic door alarms have two parts that are connected magnetically. One part is attached to the door frame right at the edge next to the door and the other part is attached to the door right next to the frame. The alarm sounds when the two parts are no longer connected by the magnet.
 - Floor Sensor Alarms
 Floor sensor alarms have a sensor pad on the floor and a magnetic lock on the door. They can be preset to different settings, some of which will alarm immediately and other settings that allow a person to exit out the door and return just a short time later before sounding.
Another option if you have doors in your house that you don't want your loved one to open, you can simply lock them or have a keypad lock installed on those doors. The keypad locks will unlock once you enter the correct number code in the keypad. Keypad locks can connected be to the smoke or fire alarm system so that they will unlock in case of a fire.

Nutrition Australia submission to the Health Star Rating five year review
The Health Star Rating (HSR) Advisory Committee is undertaking a five year review of the HSR system, which will consider if, and how well, the objectives of the HSR system have been met, and identify options for improvements to and ongoing implementation of the system.
The HSR system is a voluntary front of pack labelling scheme that rates the overall nutritional profile of packaged food and assigns it a rating from ½ a star to 5 stars. It is a joint Australian, state and territory and New Zealand government initiative developed in collaboration with industry, public health and consumer groups. From June 2014, food manufacturers started to apply HSRs to the front of food product packaging.
Nutrition Australia submitted a response to several of the review questions, which is summarised below.
We congratulate the government for establishing the Health Star Rating and for taking feedback at this critical review point. We acknowledge the complexity of the initiative and with further changes it will be a convenient, easy to understand tool to assist consumers to make healthier choices.
Nutrition Australia considers the HSR has considerable potential as a successful public health intervention if:
 - foods and drinks are scored in a way that aligns with the Australian Dietary Guidelines by scoring whole and minimally-processed foods from the five core food groups, higher than foods and drinks which are not recommended for regular consumption.
 The Federal Government's Australian Dietary Guidelines (ADGs) recommend the types and amounts of foods we should aim to eat each day for overall health and wellbeing. This is based on the how many serves we should aim to consume from each of five core food groups each day: fruit; vegetables and legumes/beans; grain (cereal) foods; lean meats and poultry, fish, eggs, tofu, nuts and seeds and legumes/beans; milk, yoghurt cheese and/or alternatives.
 The ADG also categorises energy-dense, nutrient-poor foods and drinks as 'discretionary items' that are not recommended as part of a healthy, balanced diet.
 Nutrition Australia believes that the HSR does not currently score foods in a way that aligns with a recommended heathy diet according to the ADGs.
 It is imperative that any front of pack labelling scheme that aims to improve healthy eating aligns with the Australian Dietary Guidelines. The HSR should support the implementation of the ADG by steering consumerchoices towards foods from the five core food groups, and away from energy-dense, nutrient-poor discretionary items.
 - the HSR was made mandatory, and for all packaged food and drink items including fresh foods (eg, fruits, vegetables and meats), and premade items, such as salads and sandwiches.
 The HSR is currently a voluntary system, and not all items have a rating. As suchthe HSR only allows shoppers to make an informed choice between a limited range of items at present.
 Additionally, some consumers have expressed concern that the HSR appears on the more expensive 'big name' branded items, with limited use on the cheaper/home brand options. This limits shoppers' ability to select healthier cheaper items using the HSR as a guide.
 - the score could be used to judge the relative healthiness of items across food categories, not just within specific categories.
 The HSR allows consumers to compare the relative healthiness of items within the same category, but it doesn't allow consumers to compare items across categories. This isespecially relevant if they are seeking healthier options of any type, such as comparing a muesli bar to a cheese snack.
 Nutrition Australia believes the score should be able to be used as an indicator of relative healthiness compared to ANY other item.
In addition, we made recommendations regarding:
Consumer education
There has been a notable lack of mass communication to educate consumers about the HSR. Nutrition Australia beliesves the implementation of HSR should be one strategy and supported by consumer education across all media, and in partnership with nutrition and health promotion organisations.
Nutrition Australia considers the involvement of food industry in the design and oversight of the HSR a concern. The system aims to reduce the purchase and consumption of unhealthy foods and drinks, and as such, manufacturers of those foods (or their industry representatives) have a conflict of interest in designing such a scheme.
We believe that the food industry should be widely consulted in the development and review of the HSR system, but should be distanced from the final decision making and oversight of this particular, vital, public health initiative.

4 Faculty Meeting Agenda Templates
A faculty meeting agenda template is the key to creating a well-planned and helpful agenda for any faculty meeting. Some consider an agenda a road map, a blueprint, or even an unseen guide on the path to harmonious and productive meeting. More than just a list of items on a page, an agenda minimizes wasted time, keeps the purpose of a meeting in sight, and can even prod groups into action.
Planning agendas
Any meeting chair would be unwise to plan an agenda in isolation. When key members of a meeting agree on a meeting agenda in advance, they will each work towards the goals stated on that agenda. Reaching alignment with key faculty members in advance also allows the meeting chair a chance to identify potential roadblocks or issues, and then plan to address them. This process can be as formal as asking several members of the committee to form a subcommittee to create the agenda, or it can be as casual as an email soliciting topics or items for discussion. Regardless, encouraging input from other faculty members is sure to lead to more productive meetings.
Faculty meeting agenda template #1
Date and time of meeting
Location of meeting
1. Call to order
2. Corrections or approval of previous meeting minutes
3. Unfinished Business
4. New Business
5. Committee Reports
6. Chair Reports
7. Adjournment
This meeting agenda offers a simple structure, beginning with the location, date and time of the meeting. This is followed by the call to order, which begins the meeting. The second item on the list allows meeting attendees to correct any minutes from the previous meeting. Items three and four are for old and new business, then the agenda moves on to committee reports, chair reports and finally, adjournment. Note that this meeting agenda lacks specific discussion items, time guidelines for each item, and any approval of the agenda or time to add items to the next agenda. This meeting agenda also lacks action verbiage, which can help move a meeting along.
Faculty meeting agenda template #2
Item Desired Outcome Priority Time Responsible Party How
Project Updates Share info high 50 min Jack Discussion
Department Meeting Prep Agree on agenda items high 20 minutes Juanita Feedback on proposal
This meeting agenda takes a different tack, dispensing with many of the formalities of a traditional agenda and assigning priorities for items, pointing to desired outcomes, naming parties responsible for each item, and even naming a method for accomplishing the stated goal. Specific action items can only help achieve meeting goals, but a meeting chair should remain flexible when using such a detailed agenda.
Faculty meeting agenda template #3
Department, Unit, Committee Name
Aims: [Identify the overall aims for the meeting.]
Read Ahead of Time:
Bring to Meeting:
Time Topic Discussion Leader
8:30 AM Determine new parking policy John Johnson
This agenda template combines some of the first and some of the second agenda templates. It includes the traditional elements like date, location and attendees. It also includes a section to review in advance, a place to ask attendees to bring items to the meeting, and a list of discussion items with responsible parties for each item. The key to using this agenda is the inclusion of action words, framing the expectations of attendees. This can be a very effective agenda template when planned correctly.
Faculty meeting agenda template #4
Purpose: Placeholder for specific items
Required Attendees:
Optional Attendees:
Required Materials:
Advance Preparation:
Agenda Items:
Base teams meeting (5 minutes)
Staff-building activity
Small-group discussion of the following questions: (20 minutes)
Large-group sharing of small-group responses: (15 minutes)
Base teams meeting (5 minutes)
Review of next steps and responsibilities
Team Celebration
This last agenda is quite different, relying on base teams, small-group discussion, and large-group sharing of small-group responses to reach consensus and address faculty meeting items. A format like this, while very different from the norm, can encourage participation from even the most reticent of members, ensuring everyone's voice is heard.
Each of these agenda templates is unique, but they all share one goal. The agenda template should serve as a framework for your meeting agenda. That meeting agenda should guide the meeting, moving faculty members to accomplish the tasks set forth. Whether it's considered a guide, a map, or a tool, the agenda ensures every faculty meeting marches towards progress.

Edit: I discovered a partial answer to my own question in the process of writing this, but I think it can easily be improved upon so I will post it anyway. Maybe there's a better solution out there?
I am looking for an easy way to define recursive functions in a let form without resorting to letfn. This is probably an unreasonable request, but the reason I am looking for this technique is because I have a mix of data and recursive functions that depend on each other in a way requires a lot of nested let and letfn statements.
I wanted to write the recursive functions that generate lazy sequences like this (using the Fibonacci sequence as an example):
(let [fibs (lazy-cat [0 1] (map + fibs (rest fibs)))]
 (take 10 fibs))
But it seems in clojure that fibs cannot use it's own symbol during binding. The obvious way around it is using letfn
(letfn [(fibo [] (lazy-cat [0 1] (map + (fibo) (rest (fibo)))))]
 (take 10 (fibo)))
But as I said earlier this leads to a lot of cumbersome nesting and alternating let and letfn.
To do this without letfn and using just let, I started by writing something that uses what I think is the U-combinator (just heard of the concept today):
(let [fibs (fn [fi] (lazy-cat [0 1] (map + (fi fi) (rest (fi fi)))))]
 (take 10 (fibs fibs)))
But how to get rid of the redundance of (fi fi)?
It was at this point when I discovered the answer to my own question after an hour of struggling and incrementally adding bits to the combinator Q.
(let [Q (fn [r] ((fn [f] (f f)) (fn [y] (r (fn [] (y y))))))
 fibs (Q (fn [fi] (lazy-cat [0 1] (map + (fi) (rest (fi))))))]
 (take 10 fibs))
What is this Q combinator called that I am using to define a recursive sequence? It looks like the Y combinator with no arguments x. Is it the same?
(defn Y [r]
 ((fn [f] (f f))
 (fn [y] (r (fn [x] ((y y) x))))))
Is there another function in clojure.core or clojure.contrib that provides the functionality of Y or Q? I can't imagine what I just did was idiomatic...
share|improve this question
I noticed that writing fibs in this way results in terrible performance because (I presume) the combinator doesn't store results under the symbol fibs, but rather re-generates values on the fly? How can I make this more performant? – ivar Jul 30 '10 at 15:59

I have written a letrec macro for Clojure recently, here's a Gist of it. It acts like Scheme's letrec (if you happen to know that), meaning that it's a cross between let and letfn: you can bind a set of names to mutually recursive values, without the need for those values to be functions (lazy sequences are ok too), as long as it is possible to evaluate the head of each item without referring to the others (that's Haskell -- or perhaps type-theoretic -- parlance; "head" here might stand e.g. for the lazy sequence object itself, with -- crucially! -- no forcing involved).
You can use it to write things like
which is normally only possible at top level. See the Gist for more examples.
As pointed out in the question text, the above could be replaced with
(letfn [(fibs [] (lazy-cat [0 1] (map + (fibs) (rest (fibs)))))]
for the same result in exponential time; the letrec version has linear complexity (as does a top-level (def fibs (lazy-cat [0 1] (map + fibs (rest fibs)))) form).
Self-recursive seqs can often be constructed with iterate -- namely when a fixed range of look-behind suffices to compute any given element. See clojure.contrib.lazy-seqs for an example of how to compute fibs with iterate.
c.c.seq provides an interesting function called rec-seq, enabling things like
(take 10 (cseq/rec-seq fibs (map + fibs (rest fibs))))
It has the limitation of only allowing one to construct a single self-recursive sequence, but it might be possible to lift from it's source some implementation ideas enabling more diverse scenarios. If a single self-recursive sequence not defined at top level is what you're after, this has to be the idiomatic solution.
As for combinators such as those displayed in the question text, it is important to note that they are hampered by the lack of TCO (tail call optimisation) on the JVM (and thus in Clojure, which elects to use the JVM's calling conventions directly for top performance).
top level
There's also the option of putting the mutually recursive "things" at top level, possibly in their own namespace. This doesn't work so great if those "things" need to be parameterised somehow, but namespaces can be created dynamically if need be (see clojure.contrib.with-ns for implementation ideas).
final comments
I'll readily admit that the letrec thing is far from idiomatic Clojure and I'd avoid using it in production code if anything else would do (and since there's always the top level option...). However, it is (IMO!) nice to play with and it appears to work well enough. I'm personally interested in finding out how much can be accomplished without letrec and to what degree a letrec macro makes things easier / cleaner... I haven't formed an opinion on that yet. So, here it is. Once again, for the single self-recursive seq case, iterate or contrib might be the best way to go.
share|improve this answer
Thanks for the great reply! I'm aware of iterate but it is hard to use in my particular problem (because the real structure of the problem uses data from multiple irregularly shaped trees, not a simple Fibonacci). I will definitely study that macro and rec-seq though! – ivar Jul 31 '10 at 11:48
add comment
fn takes an optional name argument with that name bound to the function in its body. Using this feature, you could write fibs as:
(def fibs ((fn generator [a b] (lazy-seq (cons a (generator b (+ a b))))) 0 1))

Nice catch! I forgot about that one. – ivar Aug 1 '10 at 21:55

How can I allow a student to take unlimited classes?
If you have the need to allow a specific set of students to take unlimited classes, you can configure a tuition option to allow for this. You need to create a new person tag called "Unlimited Classes", affiliate the tag with the students that receive free tuition, and set the tuition to zero for students that have the "Unlimited Classes" tag.
Here are the steps to accomplish unlimited classes:
 1. Log into Studioware and click on Administration | Person Tags
 2. Click on "Add Person Tag" in the toolbar, and enter "Unlimited Classes". You can name the new tag any value you wish, such as "Free Classes", or "No tuition"
 3. Search for the students that will have "Unlimited Classes" tag. Edit the student record, and select the tag you created in step 2. For example, here is a student with the new tag:
 4. Create new tuition for each class. Set the tuition amount as "No Tuition for this class", and make sure you have Student and the new tag from step 2 selected. For example, here is a new tuition item for free tuition:
 5. When the student Drew Boeing enrolls in the class that has the tuition specified above, there will be no tuition applied to the student's financial account.

The Northern pin oak, one of the most promising of the American oaks, was first brought to Finland by the Mustila collecting expedition of 1993. It grows naturally in the cold-winter climate belt west and south-west of the Great Lakes, where many other American oak species struggle to survive. It grows in mixed forest on poorish hillside soils with, among others, (American) red pine (Pinus resinosa).
Northern pin oak doesn't grow very large even in America so in Finland it would probably suit small gardens. At Mustila the beautiful leaves, smaller and more deeply lobed than those of the red oak (Q. rubra), turn a showy wine-red colour in autumn well before the latter species.
In habit, the Northern pin oak with its erect upper branches and drooping lower branches, resembles the pin oak (Q. palustris). In winter after leaf fall old specimens look rather thorny due to the large numbers of branch stumps left on the tree.

Modern juristic persons often are powerful entities and they play an influential role in society. Their activities are often accompanied by serious transgressions that have a severely detrimental impact on human beings and their environment. The effective prosecution of juristic persons is therefore necessary. The juridical foundations of the liability of juristic persons are, however, one of the most controversial issues in criminal law theory. Individualistic theories postulate that juristic persons are merely collections of individuals. The conduct and fault of individuals constituting a juristic person must therefore form the basis of the criminal liability of the juristic person. In the United States, for instance, the foundation for the criminal liability of corporations on federal level is vicarious liability. Another individualistic model (mostly associated with English common law jurisdictions) is the so–called doctrine of identification. Only the conduct of individuals who are regarded as the 'directing minds' of the organisation may be attributed to the organisation. These approaches deny the complex structures and decision making processes that exist especially in big corporate entities. According to realistic theories juristic persons are entities which are not dependant on their composite members. Each juristic person has its own unique personality. The culture and ethos of a juristic person influence the conduct of individuals attached to it as well as the degree in which the juristic person abides by the law. The identity of a corporation can be established by investigating the internal structure thereof. The existence of monitoring mechanisms and educational programmes within the organization, as well as the degree to which the organisation condones or disapproves of unlawful conduct, are some of the factors which may be indicative of the corporate culture. This approach is a development of the late twentieth century and has recently been adopted in the legislation of some foreign legal systems, most notably Australia. Section 332(1) of the Criminal Procedure Act 51 of 1977 provides the basis for the criminal liability of juristic persons in South Africa. In essence the conduct and fault of functionaries (and sometimes even outsiders) are attributed to the juristic person. In terms of the provisions of the Criminal Procedure Act juristic persons may only be fined upon conviction. This approach reflects the individualistic view of corporate criminal liability. In this study recommendations are made for the purpose of improving the South African law in this regard so as to reflect a more realistic approach. The recommendations are based on an examination of realistic models proposed by legal and social theorists and legislation adopted by foreign countries which are based on these theories. It is also recommended that more sentencing options must be made available to bring about the restructuring of corporations which have committed crimes.

Solution Architecture Framework e-Health
What is a Solution Architecture Framework?
A solution architecture framework shows the architectures (groups of concepts and other parts like patterns, principles and building blocks) that together form a framework for a type of solution.
In this case, the solution is e-Health as a total concept. It was created for a Dutch hospital.
solution architecture framework e-health
This is an example Solution Architecture Framework e-Health (Dutch).
Why was this Architecture Framework created?
This framework was created to give the steering group of a strategic program a management instrument to direct and give focus to projects.
The solution architecture framework provides a lot of information about which concepts are added to the organization for each architecture.
By now making a match of the concepts in the solution framework with the concepts in the enterprise architecture framework, the impact analysis is already on the drawing board. Here, certain issues can be prevented and resolved at an early stage.
