Chapman overcomes learning disability, wins scholarship
by Trevor Keiser
May 15, 2013
Actress Sigourney Weaver looks on as OHS senior Ross Chapman gives a speech after recieving a $10,000 scholarship.
"Never give up, never, never, never give up" was the famous quote by British Prime Minster Winston Churchill that helped give determination to Oxford High School Senior Ross Chapman to overcome his learning disability (LD).
After being held back in kindergarten a second time, teachers couldn't understand why Chapman wasn't reading very well and he couldn't understand how his peers could read sentences with what he called "dancing letters." The answer came in third grade when he found out he had a learning disability called "dyslexia."
"I cried my eyes out when he was diagnosed thinking what was going to happen," said his mother Nancy.
"From the moment I was diagnosed with my disability my mom told me that my brain works differently and I just need to find a way to figure out how my brain works differently," Ross said.
While he tried to figure out how his brain "worked differently," for reading he also found out he had two other LD's working against him, "dyscalculia," which hinders the ability to do math and "dysgraphia," whichhinders handwriting ability. In grade school Ross said his reading and mathematical skills were below grade level and despite his hard effort to read, there was very little progress.
Ross's "blessing in disguise" came the summer between fifth and sixth grade, when he started running with the high school cross country team and was misdiagnosed with a heart murmur at a physical. Due to the misdiagnosis the doctor told Ross he wasn't allowed to do any physical activity, so after getting bored watching television all day, he took his mom's advice. He went to the library and started getting books from the children's section.
"I went from Dr. Seuss books all the way to Tom Clancy books in one summer," he said. "I just pushed through. I can't really explain exactly what happened. I wanted to show the world I can do everything that everyone else can."
Even though he had become "friendlier" with his dyslexia and was learning how to continue making progress in his reading. Ross said the challenges of math followed him through his middle school years, where he was only working at a fourth grade level and tested at a third grade level in eighth grade. Nancy wondered if her son would ever be able to even work at McDonald's due to such a low math level. But just like his inability to read, Ross found motivation to push him to be able to do math.
The push came in the "No Child Left Behind Act," which was signed in 2001 by President George W. Bush. Because Ross was still in special education math he was given the choice of getting a high school completion certificate or a high school diploma.
"In order to get a diploma you can't be in a special ed class, that's part of 'No Child Left Behind,'" Nancy said. "I was OK with him getting a certificate and then going to Oakland Community College and I didn't even know that was going to happen with (a) third grade math (level.)"
However, a certificate wasn't good enough for Ross, he wanted to earn his diploma. His eighth grade teacher decided to do an experiment with him. She found out by giving Ross a calculator that he indeed could do math at an eighth grade level, which moved him up to algebra.
"I thought 'No Child Left Behind' was the devil when they were first making him go into the eighth grade math," Nancy said." I thought 'he is in third grade math, how do you push him like that?'"
"If it wasn't for that (No Child Left Behind)," Ross added. "I wouldn't have been in normal math and in pre-calculus right now."
When he entered high school, Ross said he also pushed to be in Advanced Placement (AP) classes because they didn't allow dyslexic or any kids with learning disabilities to take them because they thought they couldn't do it.
"My biology teacher, human anatomy teacher and (former) cross country coach Mr. (Ray) Sutherland was the only teacher at first who believed I could go into honors and AP courses," Ross said. In fact he was the one who placed me in the honors course without talking to the counselors."
Ross said his first honors course was honors chemistry, where he earned a B + and since has taken three AP courses and been successful.
Ross's determination not only helped him conquer his LD, but also landed him a $10,000 scholarship from Anne Ford and the National Center for Learning Disabilities.
"I felt amazed (that I won,) he said. "I couldn't believe it at first."
Ross was only one of two to receive the $10,000 scholarship and his winning 500 word essay was selected out of 400 other applicants.
As a winner of the scholarship he was flown to New York City for the NCLD's 36th Annual Benefit Dinner held at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel where he received his scholarship from award-winning actress Sigourney Weaver and gave a memorized speech in front of 400 people, including Barbara Walters.
"It was probably one of the most nerveracking things I've done," Ross added.
He also got to try his first caviar
"It was wrapped around the salmon so I couldn't really taste it," he said.
The trip he said was "unreal."
"It made me want to live in New York, it's an amazing city. I love New York," he said. "It's almost like you're in Disney World when you're in Time Square, it was amazing."
"One thing that was a surprise being in New York is they have this persona of being such tough, snotty people, but they're really nice," added Ross. "Everyone comes up to you and asks if you need directions or where you want to go and they're just everyday people."
While one opportunity leads to another, upon returning home from New York, Nancy said she received an e-mail asking for Ross to speak at Capital Hill in Washington DC where he will be part of an educational panel.
"It's exciting and nerve-racking," he said. "It's almost the same mixed feelings about graduation."
Outside of the classroom, Ross has also found success running cross country and playing his first year of varsity lacrosse. He is a member of the National Honors Society and does a lot of community service, including volunteering as a reading tutor for a fourth grade boy, who is also believed to have dyslexia.
Looking at all of his accomplishments so far and that Ross will be graduating with a high school diploma, Nancy said she couldn't be more proud of her son.
"Never put constraints and box a kid in because you never know what is going open their mind to enable them to do things (they never thought was possible). If you get a bad grade, it's not the end of the story; it's what you come out with," she said. "He's coming out with a 3.7 grade point average in honors and AP classes and he did it with hard work."
As for the future, Ross plans to attend Michigan State University with a major in International Relations, where he hopes to get a job working for the government.
"Whether that is Secretary of State, FBI or something like that, I've always had an interest in history," he said. "I just want to be a part of history and do something that's remembered."

An algorithm for processing a diffractogram of an electron image input by an on-line system has been improved, with the aid of projection theory, so as to achieve real time operation. This algorithm can, therefore, automatically focus in scanning electron microscope, and correct for the astigmatic aberration of both transmission and scanning electron microscopes by analyzing the spectrum computed from the diffractogram. Experimental results show that this algorithm is effective for detecting the amount of defocus and astigmatism in both transmission and scanning electron microscopes.

News Communities Irving
The last of its kind in Irving, a children's kingdom falls
Avi Selk/Staff Photo
The steel jaws of a fearsome monster, also known as an excavator, attacked and brought down one of the towers at Castle Kingdom on Monday. A generation of children grew up among the maze of forts and bridges. Plans are to replace Irving's least safe playground.
Castle Kingdom stood guard for 25 years against lava monsters, pirate raids and all imagined dangers of Victoria Park.
The vastest playground in Irving, it sheltered countless hide n' seekers in its tunnels. A generation of princesses and princes reigned from its steepled towers.
The children were gone on Monday, when a wrecking machine with dragon-sized jaws ripped those towers from the sand.
Grownups watched the kingdom's demolition—city officials with plans to finally replace the oldest, most troublesome playground in Irving.
Because, through an era of wild imagination and rising safety standards, Castle Kingdom could protect children from every danger but its own.
It took less than an hour to knock a maze of forts and bridges into a heap of sun-greyed wood. In 1989, it took five days and more than 1,000 volunteers to build the playground.
The mayor proclaimed it Castle Kingdom month when they raised that forest of beams in central Irving. Children helped screw the planks on, mugging for photos with electric drills.
"It was the Taj Mahal of playgrounds," said Chuck Majors, who oversaw both its construction and demolition for the city. "You could go all through the playground and never touch the ground."
Despite its name, Castle Kingdom could have served as a jungle fort, or a pirate ship, or a tunnel city. To the thousands of children who crawled across it, hid inside it and dug beneath it, it was all those things and more.
But for every child who took home sand in her shoes (one grandmother collected it in a bucket across two generations) another got a splinter in his toe. As the years passed, boards began to rot and towers sometimes swayed.
Once a national craze, wooden playgrounds fell from favor with safety-minded cities.
Castle Kingdom's climbing beam and balance bar were taken out in the late 1990s. When standards tightened, the tire bridge had to go to clear a safety zone in front of the swings.
Eventually, even the chemical preservative soaked into the playground's wood was outlawed.
Before it fell, a city inspector had to walk the kingdom at least three days a week—early in the morning to avoid the mobs of kids—to spot loose nails or rotting planks. The binder of Castle Kingdom service calls is so full it won't shut anymore.
"This is the only wooden one left in the city," said playground inspector Nathan Frettoloso as he watched the wrecker swipe a tower down. "It's a maintenance nightmare."
Earlier this year, Frettoloso helped a committee of children decide what they'd like to replace the kingdom.
They'll get Castle Kingdom 2.0— with brightly colored towers and a smiling cartoon dragon. Plastic instead of wood, and wheelchair-accessible rubber instead of sand.
It will be shipped from Minnesota and assembled in the fall.
"It will be safe and maintenance-friendly," Frettoloso said. But it won't be the same.
"You're not going to be able to replace the tunnels and the wood and the play value," the inspector said, waving towards the old kingdom's rubble. "Here, it's left open to the imagination."
There's treasure hidden under Castle Kingdom. On the night before it opened, its founders buried a time capsule stuffed with memories from the 1980s.
Majors was fresh out of college then, in his first job as assistant parks supervisor. He marked the burial spot on a map and took it back to City Hall.
Decades passed. Majors had children of his own, got promoted and placed over other parks and playgrounds. Now he can't find the map, or remember what was in the capsule.
So in Castle Kingdom's final week, just before it fell, Majors led a search crew through the playground. With shovels and machines, they dug deeper than any child had managed in a quarter century, straight through the sand to the gravel beneath.
They stared into the pit they'd made, pored over scrapbook photos and wracked their memories, but they couldn't find the capsule.
Majors said he'd keep looking—into the playground's second era, if he had to.
Castle Kingdom has fallen. Long may it live.

Tech Tip — ESP8266 ADC
Jan 2018. Obtain consistent ESP8266 ADC readings
Getting consistent ESP8266 ADC readings can be tricky because, as observed and discussed in the community, there is an unknown internal factor affecting expected straight-line readings. Use this code snippet to work around this shortcoming if you can tolerate a 25ms reading.
The code simply takes an average of the lowest sample reading over five windows with five readings each.

int readAnalog() {
 int sum = 0;
 for( byte ix = 0; ix < 5; ix++ ) {
 int lowest = 1000;
 for( byte iy = 0; iy < 5; iy++ ) {
 int sample = analogRead( A0 );
 if( sample < lowest )
 lowest = sample;
 delay(1);
 }
 sum += lowest;
 }
 return sum / 5;
}

Large-Scale Spinning Approach to Engineering Knittable Hydrogel Fiber for Soft Robots
mediaposted on 19.10.2020, 12:12 by Xiangyu Duan, Jingyi Yu, Yaxun Zhu, Zhiqiang Zheng, Qihua Liao, Yukun Xiao, Yuanyuan Li, Zipan He, Yang Zhao, Huaping Wang, Liangti Qu
Efforts to impart responsiveness to environmental stimuli in artificial hydrogel fibers are crucial to intelligent, shape-memory electronics and weavable soft robots. However, owing to the vulnerable mechanical property, poor processability, and the dearth of scalable assembly protocols, such functional hydrogel fibers are still far from practical usage. Herein, we demonstrate an approach toward the continuous fabrication of an electro-responsive hydrogel fiber by using the self-lubricated spinning (SLS) strategy. The polyelectrolyte inside the hydrogel fiber endows it with a fast electro-response property. After solvent exchange with triethylene glycol (TEG), the maximum tensile strength of the hydrogel fiber increases from 114 kPa to 5.6 MPa, far superior to those hydrogel fiber-based actuators reported previously. Consequently, the flexible and mechanical stable hydrogel fiber is knitted into various complex geometries on demand such as a crochet flower, triple knot, thread tube, pentagram, and hollow cage. Additionally, the electrochemical-responsive ionic hydrogel fiber is capable of acting as soft robots underwater to mimic biological motions, such as Mobula-like flapping, jellyfish-mimicking grabbing, sea worm-mimicking multi-degree of freedom movements, and human finger-like smart gesturing. This work not only demonstrates an example for the large-scale production of previous infeasible hydrogel fibers, but also provides a solution for the rational design and fabrication of hydrogel woven intelligent devices.

What is a Stage-Gate Process?
Stage-gate process refers to a specific technique in project management where the process is divided into distinct stages, or phases, demarcated by decision points known as gates. At each gate, current results and information, like the specific case, risk analysis, and resource availability, determine the next decision.
Most commonly, there are five phases in stage-gate processes: scoping the breadth of work based on the initial brainstorming session; formulating a business case; developing the structure and fleshing it out; testing and either validating or correcting errors; and launching the product or service. Typically, the gates that separate each stage consist of addressing major themes: quality of execution, business rationale, and action plan. When addressing these concepts, there are five possible answers: go, conditional go, kill, hold, and recycle.
Because some industries carry a higher level of risk and failure than others during the innovation process (e.g. pharmaceuticals, technology, etc.), incorporating regularly-scheduled safeguards helps mitigate risk and failure before allowing them to grow too much. One of the earliest and most famous stage-gate process examples can be traced back to NASA in the 1960s during the Apollo and Gemini projects; since then, many organizations have adopted it into their own workflows.
Other Names for Stage-Gate Process:
- Phase gate process
- Phase review process
- Front-end loading
- Big design up front
- Waterfall process
Why is Stage-Gate Process Important?
The stage-gate process is important for several reasons: it helps those involved work on the right task at the right time; it minimizes loss of resources; mitigates risk; keeps the original scope from growing out of control; offers flexibility in adjusting details and direction; improves cross-team collaboration; and highlights errors at the earliest possible point.
When it comes to innovation, often, the endpoint can't be learned until well into the process because of competing players and data, which is why a structured process is vital for maximizing success. Businesses value predictability because it helps make budget planning and resource allocation clear and easy to understand. Plus using the stage-gate process reduces risk and increases the chances of success.
If knowledge is power, then the stage-gate process epitomizes that concept, especially when it comes to innovation. Having enough – and the right kind of – information is a key tool in managing risk and ensuring project success.

I have a field called StartDateTime. In Microsoft Access it contained only a time. My code used to sort this field properly when outputting, so that morning events appeared at the top.
Since migrating to SQL Server, however, the field is now sorted by the first character, and the field contains dates in the 1800s that never used to be there. 9AM events appear right after 9PM events in my output.
So I ask:
1. How can I create just a TIME field for Microsoft SQL 7.0?
2. How can I sort the field properly (regardless of the answer for Question 1)?
I'm not clear about whether you have dates and times in your table now.
You can use the DATEPART function to extract the time from the datetime you have. Then you'll need to use the CONVERT function to change the data type of the date, because it is implicitly identified as an int.
The first thing to do is to get what you want out of the date.
SELECT DATEPART(hh,the_date) FROM MYTABLE will get you the hours portion of the datetime out of the field.
SELECT CONVERT(CHAR(2),DATEPART(hh, the_DATE)) will do the extraction and coerce the datatype into a character for you.
Hope this helps.


Can a Regulatory Budget Trim Red Tape?
| Aug 28, 2013 | Opinion
The idea of a regulatory budget has been around for decades. Unfortunately, given the current political environment, the idea of placing a budgetary cap on the overall costs of regulation will likely remain for some time just an idea that regulatory scholars will continue to debate without any practical results. However, a more achievable goal would be to adopt a modified regulatory budget that targets government paperwork requirements. Such a paperwork budget could reduce red tape while leaving current health protections unchanged, thereby generating bipartisan support.
Unlike total regulatory costs and benefits in our economy, we already have a tally of the active collections of information and the total amount of time it takes annually to complete federal paperwork. Although the figure changes daily, the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) reports approximately 9,100 collections of information (essentially government forms) and more than 10.3 billion hours of paperwork.
Thumbnail image for chart.png
If trimming this large burden seems impossible, it isn't. While the overall trend has been toward more paperwork throughout the years, the accompanying graph does show that there have been deceases at times. (Because Treasury is 75 percent of all paperwork, any single tax collection can drastically affect total numbers; the graph therefore displays collections of information without Treasury, better demonstrating the growth rate of typical regulatory agencies – and the possibility of reductions.)
A paperwork budget could be set up to function much like the United Kingdom's "one-in, one-out" system for regulation, which recently expanded to "one-in, two-out." A U.S. version of "one-in, one-out" for paperwork would cap the overall number of Office of Management and Budget (OMB) paperwork approvals and the overall number of hours associated with them.
The budget would operate by agency. For instance, if the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) wanted to require an additional form, it would have to consolidate or eliminate one of its nearly 1,200 existing forms and ensure the resulting swap would not increase its current 644 million hour paperwork burden.
HHS provides an example of the explosive growth of paperwork—but it also illustrates the feasibility of restraining paperwork. The agency's total paperwork burdens grew fourfold since 1995. But in 2008 and 2011, the agency did reduce its total burden. In 2012, HHS also finalized a rule to save hospitals $940 million annually by cutting paperwork requirements.
A paperwork budget, of course, would not solve every perceived regulatory problem, but it would reduce the red tape that most citizens and businesses encounter. It would also achieve cost-savings without reducing current health and safety protections. Assuming an hour of regulatory paperwork time is worth $31.23 (the median wage for a regulatory compliance officer), a 100 million hour reduction could save $3.1 billion.

If 100 million hours sounds fanciful, the Department of Transportation (DOT) just proposed to eliminate 46.7 million hours of compliance time, roughly 15 percent of its overall budget. That's just one rule from one agency. Last year the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) proposed to merge several existing collections to eliminate 8.4 million hours of paperwork, or 21 percent of the Bureau's total.
The goal of a paperwork budget would be to give teeth to the "Paperwork Reduction Act." Instead of just tracking paperwork, agencies would be compelled to keep their burdens neutral. The returns could be tremendous. In FY 2011, the government added 355 million hours of paperwork burdens. An effective budget would have prevented this expansion and saved $11.8 billion (again assuming a cost of $31.23 an hour). To put that in perspective, OIRA has reported high-end costs of $12 billion in FY 2010 for all the major rules it reviewed.
Although a comprehensive regulatory budget is likely a non-starter politically, a paperwork budget could garner bipartisan support because it will save time and money while doing nothing to alter fundamental health and safety protections. Of course, if in the end Congress cannot pass such a reform, the President could still issue an executive order implementing a paperwork budget for cabinet-level agencies.

The most mispronounced Irish names in America
Having an Irish name in the US is an experience unto itself! There's the gradual acceptance that many people you meet - from new friends to the fine barristas at Starbucks - will have no idea how to spell or pronounce your name. There's the patience you learn to muster as you repeat your name slowly for the umpteenth time. There's the rare moment of sheer exultation when you encounter someone who gets your name right on the first go, or an Irish speaker who doesn't give it a second thought.
Why do some Americans have such a hard time with Irish names? It's often the double vowel that catches out many people when they try to pronounce Gaelic names. Sometimes the triple vowel, as in "Caoimhe," completely stumps them.
[Read more: The top 10 Irish language names for girls]
Here's a list of the top ten tongue twisting Irish names - and a guide on how to pronounce them:
1. Caoimhe
Meaning "gentle in Gaelic. Pronounced "Kweeva", not "Cam-he".
2. Siobhan
Very common Gaelic name. Pronounced "SHIV awn" not "SEE o ban".
3. Oisin
Historical old Irish name of a fabled Fenian warrior (pictured above). Pronounced "USH een" not "Waz an".
4. Sinead
Again a common girl's name. Pronounced "SHIN ade" not "Sign aid".
5. Aisling
Meaning dream or vision. Seen in "The Secret of Kells" Often pronounced "Ass Sling" by Americans. Proper pronunciation is "ASH ling".
6. Niamh
Very common name with girls in Ireland. Pronounced "KNEE ov" not "NI Am H".
7. Grainne
Pictured above is what is believed to be her grave in Omagh, Co. Tyrone. After famed love partner of Diarmuid, a Fenian chieftain. Pronounced "GRAWN YAH" not "granny".
[Read more: The top 10 Irish language names for boys]
8. Cathal
Boys name meaning Charles in Gaelic. Pronounced "Cah Hull" not "cattle".
9. Tadgh
This is a difficult one. This is a boy's name. Pronounced "TIG" as in the first three letters in Tiger, not "Tad guh".
10. Saoirse
Meaning freedom, see also actress Saoirse Ronan. Pronounced "See Or Shah" not "Sway oar sha".
Practice makes perfect! And remember, before you complain about how hard they are to pronounce, it's important that you keep in mind the reason it's so hard; the names are in another language!
Good luck!

 2. Influence of step length and landing pattern on patellofemoral joint kinetics during running.

 2015-12-01
 Elevated patellofemoral joint kinetics during running may contribute to patellofemoral joint symptoms. The purpose of this study was to test for independent effects of foot strike pattern and step length on patellofemoral joint kinetics while running. Effects were tested relative to individual steps and also taking into account the number of steps required to run a kilometer with each step length. Patellofemoral joint reaction force and stress were estimated in 20 participants running at their preferred speed. Participants ran using a forefoot strike and rearfoot strike pattern during three different step length conditions: preferred step length, long (+10%) step length, and short (-10%) step length. Patellofemoral kinetics was estimated using a biomechanical model of the patellofemoral joint that accounted for cocontraction of the knee flexors and extensors. We observed independent effects of foot strike pattern and step length. Patellofemoral joint kinetics per step was 10-13% less during forefoot strike conditions and 15-20% less with a shortened step length. Patellofemoral joint kinetics per kilometer decreased 12-13% using a forefoot strike pattern and 9-12% with a shortened step length. To the extent that patellofemoral joint kinetics contribute to symptoms among runners, these running modifications may be advisable for runners with patellofemoral pain. © 2015 John Wiley & Sons A/S.

 We report reaction paths for two prototypical chemical reactions: Li + HF, an electron transfer reaction, and OH + H 2 , an abstraction reaction. In the first reaction we consider the connection between the energetic terms in the reaction path Hamiltonian and the electronic changes which occur upon reaction. In the second reaction we consider the treatment of vibrational effects in chemical reactions in the reaction path formalism. 30 refs., 9 figs

 A short mechanism consisting of seven elementary reactions, of which only three are reversible, is shown to provide good predictions of hydrogen-air lean-flame burning velocities. This mechanism is further simplified by noting that over a range of conditions of practical interest, near the lean flammability limit all reaction intermediaries have small concentrations in the important thin reaction zone that controls the hydrogen-air laminar burning velocity and therefore follow a steady state approximation, while the main species react according to the global irreversible reaction 2H{sub 2} + O{sub 2} {yields} 2H{sub 2}O. An explicit expression for the non-Arrhenius rate of this one-step overall reaction for hydrogen oxidation is derived from the seven-step detailed mechanism, for application near the flammability limit. The one-step results are used to calculate flammability limits and burning velocities of planar deflagrations. Furthermore, implications concerning radical profiles in the deflagration and reasons for the success of the approximations are clarified. It is also demonstrated that adding only two irreversible direct recombination steps to the seven-step mechanism accurately reproduces burning velocities of the full detailed mechanism for all equivalence ratios at normal atmospheric conditions and that an eight-step detailed mechanism, constructed from the seven-step mechanism by adding to it the fourth reversible shuffle reaction, improves predictions of O and OH profiles. The new reduced-chemistry descriptions can be useful for both analytical and computational studies of lean hydrogen-air flames, decreasing required computation times. (author)

 Atomistic mechanisms underlying the reaction time and intermediate reaction products of detonating high explosives far from equilibrium have been elusive. This is because detonation is one of the hardest multiscale physics problems, in which diverse length and time scales play important roles. Here, large spatiotemporal-scale reactive molecular dynamics simulations validated by quantum molecular dynamics simulations reveal a two-stage reaction mechanism during the detonation of cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine crystal. Rapid production of N 2 and H 2 O within ∼10 ps is followed by delayed production of CO molecules beyond ns. We found that further decomposition towards the final products is inhibited by the formation of large metastable carbon- and oxygen-rich clusters with fractal geometry. In addition, we found distinct unimolecular and intermolecular reaction pathways, respectively, for the rapid N 2 and H 2 O productions

 Interaction of tellurium vapour with Zircaloy during the initial stage of an accident will lead to retention of tellurium in the core. For reliable estimation of the release behaviour of tellurium, it is necessary to know which zirconium tellurides are formed during this interaction. In this work the reaction of tellurium with Zircaloy-4 has been studied, using various reaction temperatures and tellurium vapour pressures. The compound ZrTe 2-x is formed on the surface of the Zircaloy in a broad range of reaction temperatures and vapour pressures. It is found that the formation of the more zirconium-rich compound Zr 5 Te 4 is favoured at high reaction temperatures is combination with low tellurium vapour pressures. (orig.)

The wiki article Simulating Pointer Events introduced a way to simulate pointer events within an application. However, sometimes a program may need to send pointer events to other applications. This article describes how to simulate pointer events by RWsSession::SimulateRawEvent(), and explains why it is impossible to send pointer event to a background application by RWsSession::SendEventToWindowGroup().
The RWsSession::SimulateRawEvent() can be used to simulate pointer events, i.e. send pointer events to the foreground application. Assume that the phone is in portrait mode, then the following code can simulate a touch operation on the "Options" CBA button area. If the foreground application has the "Options" CBA button then its options menu will be popped up.
TPoint p(60,600); // within the "Options" CBA button area
TRawEvent event;
event.Set(TRawEvent::EButton1Down, p.iX, p.iY);
iCoeEnv->WsSession().SimulateRawEvent(event); // SwEvent
event.Set(TRawEvent::EButton1Up, p.iX, p.iY);
Source Code
Full example:
How to use it on emulator:
 1. Build the application for winscw and then start the emulator
 2. Start the application and then press the "Multi-task" key (also called the Menu key),
How to use it on target:
 1. Sign the HelloWorld_gcce.sis with a certificate that can grant SwEvent capability
 2. Install the signed installation package on the phone and then start it.
 3. Press the "Multi-task" key
You can see the app sends itself to background and then the foreground application (the Main menu) pops up its options menu.
Many developers tried to send pointer events to a selected application by RWsSession::SendEventToWindowGroup(), but always the target application crashed with KERN-EXEC 3 panic.
To know why it is a Mission Impossible to send pointer events in this way, we shall first understand the convention between CONE and Window Server:
 1. When a window-owning control (CCoeControl) is constructed the address of the control is used as the handle of the window.
 2. When there is a pointer event the Window Server decides which window shall handle it, and then assigns the window handle to the event.iHandle, and then sends the event to the app that owns the window.
 3. When the app CONE received the event, it casts the event.iHandle to a CCoeControl pointer and then call pointer->HandlePointerEventL(event);
So if the code looks like this:
TWsEvent event;
event.SetHandle(0); // "what the handle is? Anyway clear it..."
TPointerEvent& pointerEvent = *(event.Pointer());
pointerEvent.iType = TPointerEvent::EButton1Down;
pointerEvent.iParentPosition = TPoint(0,0);
pointerEvent.iPosition = TPoint(10,10);
pointerEvent.iModifiers = 0;
ws.SendEventToWindowGroup(...); // // send the event to app1
When the app1 receives the event the bad thing will happen:
// CONE code
CCoeControl* ctrl = reinterpret_cast(event.Handle());
ctrl->HandlePointerEventL(*(event.Pointer())); // KERN-EXEC 3 because ctrl equals NULL
The Window Server is in charge of all the windows so it knows what the iHandle should be, but you don't know, so "Window Server's score:100. Yours:0!"
PS: RWindowGroup::Child() can return the client handle but we can not take it for granted that it is a CCoeControl pointer.
The CONE source code included in ER5 SDK (log-in required).

Interviewing Children About Past Events: Evaluating the NICHD Interview Protocol
This study, conducted by the NICHD in collaboration with Lancaster University in Lancaster, England, will evaluate the accuracy of information obtained from children using AN ADAPTED VERSION OF NICHD's interview protocol. The NICHD protocol was developed to help forensic interviewers OBTAIN INFORMATION FROM children who may be victims of or witnesses to a crime ABOUT THEIR EXPERIENCES. This study does not involve forensic interviews, but is DESIGNED TO OBTAIN INFORMATION FROM children ABOUT an event that takes place at their school. The study will examine how children report a brief interaction with an unfamiliar adult, how the memory of the event changes over time, and how the use of different interview techniques can help children give a fuller and more accurate accounts of past experiences.
Children 5 and 6 years of age who attend local schools in the Lancaster, England, area may be eligible for this study. Participants will be told that they are going to have their pictures taken and will be escorted by a researcher to a room at the school with another researcher who is posing as a photographer. The "photographer" and the child will put on a costume, such as a pirate's outfit, over their street clothes, helping each other put on pieces of the costume. The photographer will take pictures of the child in the costume. They will each take off the costumes and the child will be told that he or she will receive the photographs at a later time. Another researcher posing as a photographer will come into the room, interrupting the event, and begin to argue with the first photographer about who had booked the equipment. They will resolve the argument and apologize to the child for the interruption.
About 6 weeks after the event, the children will be interviewed using the ADAPTED VERSION OF NICHD interview protocol. Half will be interviewed first about the staged event (the photo session), followed by an interview about a fictitious event (e.g., a class visit to the fire station) that could plausibly have happened but did not. The other half of the children will be interviewed first about the fictitious event and then about the staged event. The children will be interviewed according to one of the following three procedures:
- The NICHD protocol preceded by a rapport-building phase that includes the rules of the interview and open-ended questions about the child and a recently experienced event
- The NICHD protocol preceded by a rapport-building phase that includes the rules of the interview and direct questions about the child and a recently experienced event, or
- The NICHD protocol preceded by the rules of the interview and open-ended questions about the child, but no opportunity to practice talking about a recently experienced event.
After the interviewer has elicited as much information as is likely to be gained from verbal questions, he or she will present the child with a line drawing of a gender neutral person and ask the child to indicate where the child was touched by the photographer and where the child touched the photographer. Any child who provides a report of the fictitious event will be interviewed in the same way about the fictitious event. After 1 year, the children will be interviewed again in the same manner as the 6-week interview.
The interviews will be audioand videotaped to record the kind of information the children talk about and compare it to what actually happened in the event.
|Official Title:||Evaluating the NICHD Interview Protocol in an Analog Study|
|Study Start Date:||January 2004|
|Estimated Study Completion Date:||October 2006|
The NICHD interview protocol was designed to aid forensic interviewers in adhering to best standards of practice when interviewing children. Field studies evaluating its use have demonstrated improvements in both interviewer behavior, and the amount and quality of information obtained from children, compared to interviews conducted prior to its implementation in test sites. Because field studies were conducted in forensic settings, however, it has not been possible to evaluate the protocol's effect on the accuracy of information reported by children. This present study therefore aims to evaluate the accuracy of information obtained using the NICHD interview protocol in an analog study. In addition the study is designed to explore children's willingness to provide details of a suggested, non-experienced event, and the effectiveness of including a human figure drawing as an auxiliary technique for eliciting further information. Furthermore, we will explore the importance of the pre-substantive/rapport-building phase of interviews, and the impact this has on children's reports of experienced and suggested events. Finally, we will explore the effectiveness of the interview protocol with children when a long delay has occurred between the event and the interview.
Children will take part, individually, in a staged event at their school, and approximately six weeks later, be interviewed at the university about what they experienced. In addition, children will be asked to talk about a suggested fictitious event (one that has not happened). The order of the interviews will be counter-balanced across children and rapport-building conditions. Some children will be interviewed with an open-ended script that includes practice in episodic memory, some with a script made up of direct questions, including a practice in episodic memory, and some with one that uses open-ended questions but does not provide practice in talking about an event from episodic memory. Approximately one year later children will be interviewed again, so that we can examine children's reports in protocol interviews over a long delay. Children's reports will be analyzed for both overall amount and accuracy of information reported, as well as in response to the different cues and props given in the course of the interview. It is not anticipated that the study will pose any risks to the children involved, and we expect that both the staged event and the interviews will be enjoyable and stimulating. We expect that the results of the study will provide further support for the use of NICHD interview as a safe and effective means of interviewing children about past experiences. In addition to general information on children's eyewitness capabilities, the study is expected to supplement field studies by contributing knowledge about the accuracy of children's memory using the NICHD interview protocol.

Body-color brake lamps are lamps that in their off state match the body color of the car. When energized, all body-color lamps, as well as conventional lamps, appear bright red. The speed of response to a body-color brake lamp may differ from the speed of response to a conventional lamp for two reasons. The first is that the difference between off-and on-state luminances varies primarily with off-state luminance. When the difference is larger than for the conventional lamp, the increased luminance contrast may speed reaction time. The other reason that responses for the two types of lamps may differ is the greater chromaticity contrast that body-color lamps have between their on and off states.
This study separately evaluated the effects of luminance contrast and chromaticity contrast for body-color brake lamps. One set of chromatically neutral lamps of varying lightness (from black to white) was tested, along with a set of chromatically varied lamps of equal lightness, and a conventional lamp. The lamps were tested pair-wise in a dual-task paradigm where one task involved simple compensatory tracking, and the other task was to respond to the onset of either of the two brake lamps. Reaction times were recorded.
The primary findings are statistically significant effects of both luminance contrast and chromaticity contrast on reaction time to brake lamps. Neither of these effects is large; the difference between fastest and slowest mean reaction times was 33 msec. The effect of luminance contrast is such that lamps that are light in their off state yield slower reaction times. Performance with the lightest lamp in this study was slightly worse than performance with the conventional lamp. None of the chromatic lamps degraded performance relative to the conventional lamp. The pattern of responses to the chromatic lamps suggests that for all lamps that are different from red in their off state, the effect of chromaticity contrast will be to speed up reaction time slightly compared to the conventional lamp.

Teaching history is all about telling stories. Now Connecticut students have the chance to get a personal perspective on how stories shape history—thanks to a Connecticut Historical Society project titled Connecticut Kids: Your Objects, Your Stories.
The project encourages children to share an object that represents a personally significant story. It's part of a larger exhibit going on at the Historical Society, Connecticut: 50 Objects/50 Stories, which focuses on objects that help tell the stories that define Connecticut.
Object submissions from Connecticut youngsters will be featured in an online gallery. On Saturday, October 3, the Connecticut Historical Society will hold a special pop-up exhibit featuring some of the objects so that families and visitors can come see them and hear their stories. The Historical Society will also have other activities and crafts available for families that day to celebrate the stories of Connecticut kids. Submissions are due by September 12—click here for more information.
History through the eyes of a teenager
The 50 Objects/50 Stories exhibit is also an excellent learning tool for families and school groups that visit the Historical Society—and in fact, one of the 50 objects submitted came out of a school history day project last year by Manchester High School student Rachael Suhie.
The project is a graduation requirement at Manchester High School that students work on during their junior-year American Studies class. Students can choose to demonstrate what they have learned through an exhibit, documentary, performance, website, or traditional paper.
Suhie chose to do an exhibit on Julia Chase-Brand, a pioneer in the world of running who became the first woman in the United States to participate in a major distance road race by finishing the Manchester Road Race in 1961.
"The teachers wanted us to take on local projects as they have more relevance to us," Suhie said.
The American Studies classes at Manchester High are co-taught by history and English teachers and the two subjects are highly integrated with a single set of assignments.
History teacher Matthew Cieslowski said that he and co-teacher Steve O'Reilly encourage local projects because of the impact they have on students.
"It's great when kids do projects on Martin Luther King Jr., but it's not the same as doing a project on the Sheff v. O'Neill court case where students get to meet Elizabeth Sheff, one of the original plaintiffs," Cieslowski said.
"Rachael got to meet Julia and talk to her to learn about her experience firsthand," he said.
"I learned a lot—it was such an interesting story," Suhie said. "Julia said running in that race was the scariest thing she had ever done. She was very nervous."
The project had special relevance for Suhie who is captain of her high school's cross country team and has run the Manchester Road Race several times herself—finishing with the fastest time of a female Manchester High School student in both 2013 and 2014.
Teachers encourage young historian
The Manchester High School history day projects coincided with the Connecticut Historical Society's call for objects for its 50 Objects exhibit. Cieslowski said, "We already had students doing projects on these local topics so it made sense to encourage them to submit an object for the exhibit."
In its collection the Manchester Historical Society has the blue dress 19-year-old Chase-Brand wore when she crossed the finish line in 1961—her Smith College gym uniform—so Suhie was able to submit it as an object for the exhibit. Though other Manchester High students also submitted objects, as the exhibit is limited to 50, Suhie was the only one whose object was selected.
"I was so excited to tell my teachers I'd been selected," Suhie said. "They gave me so much positive reinforcement and were so excited for me, which made me so excited."
"We went to the opening night and got a preview of the exhibit," Cieslowski said. "Rachael got to talk about why she selected the dress—I think she was one of the only high school kids who had an object featured."
Cieslowski continued, "It was nice to see a young person, a young historian sharing the stage with people who have devoted their lives to local history. We were incredibly proud."
The 50 Objects/50 Stories exhibit will be at the Connecticut Historical Society in Hartford until January 2, 2016. Click here for more information about the exhibit and to view an online gallery of the submissions.

The oldest ancestor of rabbits is a 53 million year old fossil consisting of two recognizably lagomorphine (rabbits, hares, and pikas are lagomorphs) feet. These feet belonged to an animal the size of a hamster. However, I do not want to focus on two small feet this week. Instead, let us look at the opposite end of the size spectrum. We have all seen enormous rabbits, but have any of you seen the largest fossil rabbit? I got trapped in a Wikipedia loop of bunnies looking up the Minorcan King of the Hares, Nuralagus rex. Discovered and described in 2011, Nuralagus was approximately 0.5 m (1.64 ft) tall and may have weighed around 12 kg (26 lbs). For comparison, the largest breed of domesticated rabbits, the Flemish Giant, has an average weight of 6.80 kg (15 lbs).
Nuralagus fossils have been recovered exclusively from the scrubland areas of Minorca, a small island of Spain approximately 402 km (250 miles) south of Barcelona. The discovery of the rabbit fossils in the scrublands indicates that the diet of these rabbits was most likely centered on roots and tubers of the small scrub plants. Some might wonder how an animal like a rabbit, surviving on roots and tubers might become so large. Foster's Rule, also called the "Island Rule" states that large animals with scarce resources tend to evolve to smaller sizes and small animals continue to be small except in the absence of predators which allows lineages to evolve to larger sizes.

Chapter 2: A Peck of Owls
Where a Vietnamese word has been borrowed from Chinese, the original Chinese character is shown in parentheses.
群 qún = 'crowd, bunch, group'.
猫头鹰 māotóuyīng = 'cat-headed hawk' = 'owl'.
|A bunch of owls|
= 'cat-headed hawk' = 'owl'.
大隊 dàduì = 'large body, specifically batallion, regiment, group, or brigade (depending on organisational context)'.
|A contingent of owls|
Fukurō no tsubute
|ふくろう fukurō =
の no = connecting particle
つぶて tsubute = 'throwing stones' (or stones so thrown).
|Pelted with owls|
|Vietnamese||Một bầy cú||một
= 'one, a'.
bầy = 'flock, pack'.
cú = 'owl'.
|A flock of owls|
There is no problem saying 'a flock of owls' in CJV, but the word play involved in this little slip of the tongue (Uncle Vernon meant to say 'a pack of owls' but said 'peck of owls' instead) is not so easy to reproduce. (See Wordplay: '...a peck, I mean, a pack of owls').
Alas, the 'peck of owls' must be sacrificed for the prosaic 'bunch of owls' in the Mainland Chinese version, a 'large body or contingent' of owls in the Taiwanese version, and a 'flock' or 'pack' of owls in the Vietnamese.
The Japanese translator comes up with the most ingenious translation. The word つぶて tsubute means 'throwing stones' and can also refer to the stones that are so thrown. The Japanese title thus means 'Owl stone(s)', with the implication that the owl or owls come pelting at you like stones. This is no doubt exactly how Uncle Vernon felt about the owls that kept bringing letters to Harry.

Before you start creating jobs on magnetic, let us first discuss what a job is.
Project / Booking / Job/ Order / Case
First off, a job can be renamed to Jobs, Bookings, Orders, or Case.
A job in Magnetic mirrors a project in a company where you have to complete work for a customer or internally over a period of time. A job is always something that has been agreed in principle with a customer or it is agreed internally.
A Job may include all or some of the following:
Private Jobs:
You can create a private job that is only visible to you or to somebody else if you assign them a task in your private job.
When creating a job, simply tick the Private tickbox. Setting to Private will make the job only visible to the users with assigned tasks in the project/job.

If you needed any more proof New York City breeds freaks and mutants, it's here. Gothamist is reporting the City may have created its very own specie of ant.
(by Alissa Fleck)
A Columbia professor decided, earlier this year, to investigate the wildlife outside his 63rd and Broadway building rather than go on a tropical reconnaissance mission (budget cuts?), when he made a shocking discovery. The ant specie he found on the front sidewalk was new to North America, and likely the entire world, reports Gothamist. The jury's still out on whether he's disappointed about forgoing a tropical vacation to study city ants.
As of now, the new species remains unnamed, though the NY Post has lovingly dubbed it the "ManhattAnt." Thirteen different species of ant already live in the City, but Gothamist reports it's possible this species evolved to live in warmer, drier habitats. It's also possible it literally "jumped ship" from another continent.
The professor who made the discovery is studying the diets of urban ants (urbants?) and has found they contain high levels of carbon due to increased consumption of corn syrup. The more fascinating issue seems to be there is someone out there who studies the stomach contents of City ants.
Add this to the long list of terrifying things squeezing and scurrying out of the Concrete Jungle's crevices.
