Starfinder Ship Combat Cheat Sheet by
Cheat sheet for the roles in Starfinder combat
Combat Phases
1. Engineering Phase (Captain, Engineer)
2. Helm Phase (Captain, Pilot, Science Officer)
3. Gunnery Phase (Captain, Gunner)
The Science Officer can act before or after the pilot in the Helm Phase (2).
Captain Actions
Demand (Intimidate)
Grant a +4 bonus to one specific check by succeeding. You must use this action before the associated check is rolled, and you can grant this bonus to an individual character only once per combat. You cannot make demands of yourself
Encourage (Diplomacy DC 15 OR Same Skill at DC10)
Can encourage another member of the crew to give her a bonus to her action. This works like aid another (see page 133), granting a +2 bonus to the check required by a crew action.
Taunt (Push [Comms], Bluff or Intimidate)
Select an enemy vessel and phase and roll Bluff or Intimidate; if successful, each enemy character acting during the selected phase takes a –2 penalty to all checks for 1d4 rounds; the penalty increases to –4 if the enemy's check is made as part of a push action. Cannot target the same enemy twice in combat.
Orders (Level 6, Push, 1RP)
Can grant an additional action to one member of the crew by spending 1 Resolve Point and succeeding at a related skill check at the above DC. Computers for science officer, Engineering for engineer, gunnery (see page 320) for gunner, and Piloting for pilot. Target gains another action if successful, but cannot take the same action twice. You cannot give yourself orders
Moving Speech (Level 12, Diplomacy DC20 + 1.5xTier, 1RP)
Use your action to give a moving speech to the crew during one phase of combat. For the remainder of that phase, your allies can roll twice and take the better result when performing crew actions.
Captain DC's are all 15 + 1.5xStarship Tier unless otherwise noted
Engineer Actions
Divert (Engineering, DC10 + 1.5xTier)
Make engineering check to divert power. If engines, speed increases by 2 this round. If science, science officers get +2 to checks this round. If weapons, damage rolls of 1 become 2. If shields, restore an amount of Shield Points equal to 5% of the PCU rating of the starship's power core (see page 296), up to the shields' maximum value. Evenly distribute the restored Shield Points to all four quadrants (putting any excess Shield Points in the forward quadrant).
Hold it Together (Engineering, DC15 + 1.5xTier)
Select one system; that system is treated as if its critical damage condition were two steps less severe for the rest of the round (wrecked becomes glitching, and a malfunctioning or glitching system functions as if it had taken no critical damage). This check isn't modified by penalties from critical damage to the power core.
Patch (Engineering, DC Varies)
Patch a system to reduce the effects of a critical damage condition. The number of actions and the DC of the Engineering check required to patch a system depend on how badly the system is damaged. The number of actions required can be reduced by 1 (to a minimum of 1 action) by increasing the DC by 5. Glitching: 1 action, DC 10 + 1.5xTier. Malfunctioning: 2 actions, DC15 + 1.5xTier. Wrecked: 3 actions, DC20 + 1.5xTier
Overpower (6 ranks Engineering, Push, DC15 + 1.5xTier, 1RP)
If successful, this functions as the divert action, but you can send extra power to any three systems listed in that action. This action and the divert action can't be taken in the same round.
Quick Fix (12 ranks Engineering, DC20 + 1.5xTier, 1RP)
If successful, remove the critical damage condition from one system for 1 hour (allowing it to function as if it had taken no critical damage), after which time it must be repaired as normal.
Science Officer Actions
Balance (Computers, DC10 + 1.5xTier)
Can shift Shield Points (SP) from the shield in one quadrant another quadrant, including to depleted shields (after rebalancing, every shield must have at least 10% of the total current SP). Alternatively, you can add up the SP from all the remaining shields and evenly distribute them to all four quadrants, putting any excess SP in the forward quadrant.
Scan (Computers, DC5 + 1.5xTarget's Tier + Countermeasures)
If you succeed at this check, you learn the first unknown piece of information on the following list. For every 5 by which you exceed the check, you learn another unknown piece of information. Subsequent checks reveal new pieces of information, continuing down this list.
1. Basic Information: Living crew complement and ship classification, size, speed, and maneuverability.
2. Defenses: AC, TL, total and current Hull Points, total and current Shield Points in each quadrant, and core PCU value.
3. Weapon: Information about one weapon, including its firing arc and the damage it deals, starting with the weapon that uses the most PCU. Repeat this entry until all the starship's weapons are revealed.
4. Load: Information about how the starship's expansion bays are allocated and any cargo the starship might be carrying.
5. Other: Any remaining ship statistics.
Target System (Computers, Push, DC5 + 1.5xTarget's Tier + Countermeasures)
If you succeed, choose one system (core, engines, life support, sensors, or weapons). The next attack made by your starship that hits the enemy ship scores a critical hit on a natural roll of 19 or 20. If that attack deals critical damage, it affects the chosen system. For any further critical damage resulting from the attack, determine which system is affected randomly as normal. Your starship's sensors can target only one system on a specific enemy starship at a time, though this action can be used to concurrently target systems on multiple starships.
Lock On (Computers 6 ranks, Push, DC5 + 1.5xTarget's Tier + Countermeasures, 1RP)
If you succeed, your starship's gunners gain a +2 bonus to gunnery checks against the target for the rest of the round. This action can be taken only once per round.
Improve Countermeasures (Computers 12 ranks, DC5 + 1.5xTarget's Tier + Countermeasures, 1RP)
If you're successful, gunners aboard the target starship roll twice and take the worse result for gunnery checks during this round (including checks for tracking weapons).
Pilot Actions
No skill check, regular movement
Maneuver (DC15 + 1.5xTier)
Move up to speed, reduce distance between turns by 1 (minimum 0).
Stunt (DC Varies)
Back off (Piloting DC10 + 1.5xTier) Move half speed backwards without turns. If fail, move back 1 hex only. Fail by 5 or more, no movement and -4 to AC and TL.
Barrel Roll (Piloting DC10 +1.5xTier, Large max size) Move half speed and facings inverted 1 round. Fail, no roll. Fail by 5 or more, no roll, -4 AC and TL.
Evade (Piloting DC10 + 1.5xTier) Move speed, +2 AC and TL. Fail, no bonus. Fail by 5 or more, still move but -2 AC and TL.
Flip and Burn (Piloting DC15 + 1.5xTier) Move half speed and turn 180°. Fail, no rotation.
Flyby (Piloting DC15 + 1.5xTier) Move normal, can move through enemy w/o provoking. During gunnery phase, choose one arc of ship to fire at enemy and treat as close range. If fail, gunnery phase is normal and movement provokes.
Slide (Piloting DC10 + 1.5xTier) Move up to speed in forward-port or forward-starboard direction w/o changing facing. Fail, move forward half speed w/o turns.

Paper Title: Configuration Conundrum: Managing Test Configuration With a Bite Sized Solution
Affiliation Type: Industry
Keywords: Verification, Constraints, Randomization, Configuration, Testbench, UVC
Abstract: Each desired customization is captured as one or more constraints in a very small class known as a "policy class". Our paper will show the straightforward steps needed to adapt a configuration class to support policies, to create a policy base class that works correctly with the configuration class, and to write new policy classes as required by the application. Once this has been done, applying a customization is easy: add it to a list of policies within the object being constrained. In this way, customizations can be neatly encapsulated, given descriptive names, and applied or removed easily at runtime.

Large-Scale Design Optimization Lab
The large-scale design optimization laboratory (LSDO lab) is part of the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the University of California San Diego.
Our research lab develops efficient optimization methods for the design and operation of engineering vehicles. We specialize in methods that solve large-scale optimization problems involving up to tens of thousands of design variables.
The Background page provides an introduction to large-scale optimization, reviews the state of the art, and highlights some of our previous work in this field. The Research page presents a more comprehensive description of our past and ongoing research topics.
Our vision for the future is optimization-based design of engineering systems. In many engineering applications (e.g., the design of commercial airliners), the computing age has enabled the gradual replacement or augmentation of physical experiments with simulations using computational models. Today, tools such as computational fluid dynamics and finite element analysis have become sufficiently robust and efficient that they are tightly integrated into the workflow of an industrial engineer. In the future, we envision large-scale numerical optimization having a similarly large role in practical engineering design. This would come with much larger potential benefits since optimization algorithms can automate certain parts of design, freeing the engineer's time and attention on higher level and more significant aspects of the design. The LSDO lab's past and future research is directed towards the improvements in efficiency, robustness, and simplicity of optimization methods, that are necessary to make this vision a reality.

Thomas Scheemakers
Thomas Scheemakers (1740 – 15 July 1808) was a sculptor operating in Britain in the late 18th century and a member of the important sculpting family of Scheemakers. Several of his works are held by the Victoria and Albert Museum.[1]
He was the only son of Peter Scheemakers (and grandson of Pieter Scheemaeckers), an eminent sculptor, and Barbara La Fosse. He appears to have been born slightly before their wedding.
From 1763 until 1780 he largely exhibited under his father's name. Whilst talented, he was certainly eclipsed by his father, but it is reasonable to expect that they worked together on several of his father's larger pieces up until his death (1781). He was a competent sculptor but lacked his father's flair for design, often leaving the design to be done by others. After his father returned to Belgium (c.1779) he continued his workshop, on Vine Street, London.
He inherited his father's huge fortune in 1782 but appears to have largely squandered this. He did very little sculpture after his father's death and ceased altogether in 1792. It appears that he went bankrupt in 1805, as there is a record of all of his effects being sold.[2]
He died in London in 1808 and was buried in the churchyard of St Pancras Old Church. The grave is lost (and was possibly unmarked even from the beginning) and he is not listed on the Burdett-Coutts Memorial to the famous graves lost, which stands in the churchyard.
His wife, Barbara (b.1747) died in 1810 and was probably buried with him.

2017 Acta Med Iran unpublished
In recent years the high cost of medicines and the lack of it were one of the major problems in developing countries that despite numerous efforts to solve the root causes of this problem, the issue remains, unfortunately. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the impact of antibiotics and corticosteroids prescription on the medicines expenditures. This was descriptive-analytical study that conducted to assess the function of medical expenditures through prescription letters and analysis the

We used the data of 91,994,667 selected prescription letters that were collected by the Ministry of the Health and Medical Education (MOHME) throughout the country in the year 2011 which was analyzed through a logarithmic regression model and OLS estimator. The average number of prescription items in each prescription letter were varied from 2.7 to 3.6, and the average price of each letter was varied from 30223 to 69986 Rials. Between 39 to 61 percent of prescription letters containing antibiotic items and between 15 and 35% of them contain corticosteroids. Also, the impact of antibiotic and corticosteroid prescriptions on the average expenditure of prescription letters were-1.4 and 0.032 respectively. Excessive and irrational prescribing had the greatest impact on medicine expenditures. On the other hand, the expenditure of prescription letters had the negative elasticity to antibiotics prescription and relatively inelastic for corticosteroids. So, raising the price of medications to reduce the use of them could not play a successful role in a control policy.

The Brandt Line is an invisible line across the world that divides the rich north from the poor south. The Brandt Line corresponds with the divide between economically developed and industrialized countries and those countries that are less economically developed.Know More
Reference reports that the Brandt Line was introduced by Willy Brandt in the 1970s to illustrate the rich and poor countries of the world. The United States, Europe and Russia all are north of the Brandt Line, and therefore considered richer. On the other hand, most African and South American countries are below the Brandt Line. The Brandt Line circles the globe at roughly 30 degrees north, although it does shift radically south at Australia and New Zealand so that those two countries are included in the rich north.
According to BBC and the Brandt Line, there are distinct economic differences between the north and the south, with the north producing more goods while the south produces less. However, as of 2014, some of the southern countries have become newly industrialized and are becoming richer. Among these countries are Mexico, Brazil, South Africa, India and China. This change is due to a shift from agriculture to manufacturing, exporting goods and stable governments.Learn More

The total product curve is the total number of units produced per units of input. The marginal product curve is the marginal product generated per units of input. Diminishing returns is reflected at the point where the marginal product curve has a negative slope.Full Answer >


Conditions of exposure and the presence of other chemicals and trace impurities are important when evaluating the compatibility of a material of construction. So these need to be considered when looking at a specific situation like yours. In general, the main issue with glycols is the formation of acids by glycol degradation at elevated temperatures. This is why corrosion inhibitors are added to glycols used as heat transfer fluids. Having said this, 316L stainless steel is considered compatible with propylene glycol under many conditions and is a recommended material of construction for glycol storage. Pruett's Chemical Resistance Guide for Metals and Alloys (Compass Publications) gives 316L stainless steel an "A" rating for propylene glycol at concentrations of 30% to 100% at temperatures up to 195° F. For more information, you might consider contacting a manufacturer of propylene glycol and propylene glycol heat transfer fluids (e.g., Dow Chemical).

text: Global climate change and an increasing energy demand are driving the scientific community to further advance internal combustion engine technology. Invented by Sr. Henry Ricardo in 1918 the torch ignition system was able to significantly decrease engine's fuel consumption and emission levels. Since the late 70s, soon after the Compound Vortex Controlled Combustion (CVCC) created by Honda, the torch ignition system R&D almost ceased due to the issues encountered by very complex and costly mechanic control systems that time. This work presents a stratified torch ignition prototype endowed with a sophisticated electronic control systems and components such as electro-injectors from direct injection systems placed on the pre-combustion chamber. The torch ignition prototype was tested and its performance are presented and compared with the baseline engine, which was used as a workhorse for the prototype engine construction. The torch ignition prototyped showed a significant performance improvement in the fields of BSFC, thermal and combustion efficiency.

Plastic Corks: Too Small to Recycle
Many synthetic corks are made out of plastic #7, but unfortunately are too small to be recovered by sorting equipment, so they go in the trash.
Composting Natural Corks
You can compost natural corks, but they will take a long time to break down unless you break them up into small pieces first, or even better, run them through a blender.
Ways to Reuse
Hydrate Your Plants
Break up a wine cork and add the pieces to the soil of your potted plants to reduce the rate of water evaporation during hot summer days.

Why female fertility specialists are a better choice than male gynecologists?
Almost all women want their check up to be done by female gynecologists. It is because one feels more comfortable when he or she is diagnosed with a doctor of the same sex. That is the reason why an IVF Centre in Punjab takes into consideration the aspect of getting the patient treated with a doctor of the same sex. But when it comes to male infertility, even male candidates sometimes prefer undergoing check-up from female candidates. It is because of the tender nature of females that patients want to get treated from them.
Subsequent are the major points of why patients prefer going to female fertility specialists.
 - Comfort Zone
It is like females that they feel more comfortable deliberating about their reproductive health to another woman. This is because the session with the gynecologists does not only involve the dialogue about the problem. It may take place that the gynecologists or obstetricians may need to physically or manually examine your reproductive parts. The females are generally uncomfortable in exposing their intimate parts to a male gynecologist or obstetrician.
The deliberation session also includes the dialogue bout sex and sex-positions. The female may feel shy or embarrassed while discussing so. Consequently, she will not be able to deliver the required information to the doctor
 - Understanding Level
It is quite obvious being a female, a female gynecologist will be able to address the problem of female patients by understanding its impact on the physical as well as the mental health of the woman. Once in a while, it takes place that the female is not able to tell the problem in a precise way. If a female gynecologist is inspecting that patient then she would be able to guess the problem because of the same-sex understanding characteristic. Moreover, it is relevant to mention here that no matter the patient is taking consultation from a same-sex doctor or an opposite-sex doctor, it takes at least 2 to 3 visits for the patient to open completely and build up an understanding level.
What are the main factors which make one consider that choice of a female gynecologist for reproductive problems is the best?
 - Refer to specialists
Once in a while, patients do consider this fact while choosing a gynecologist. Patients are likely to pick the choice of female gynecologists because they tend to refer the case of the patient to a specialized doctor as compared to the male gynecologist.
 - Miscarriage and Abortion
Female doctors are more likely to handle the cases of miscarriages and abortion with tenderness. These are the most critical times in the lives of women. It's quite obvious that female candidates are more likely to be better handled by female specialists.
 - Prescription of Medications
Female fertility experts tend not to prescribe the medication at the early stage than male gynecologists.
Final Thoughts
Not every time, a woman feels comfortable with the female specialist. Once in a while, it happens that female patients feel more comfortable with a particular male fertility specialist.


text: While Wireless Fidelity (WiFi)-based passive radar can achieve high detection resolution in both the range and Doppler domain, it is difficult to extract the reference signal because of the complexities of its signal format and application scenarios. In this study, we analyze a typical application of WiFi-based passive radar and discuss different methods for reference signal extraction. Based on the format and features of WiFi signals, we propose a method for reference signal reconstruction, and analyze the influence of the reconstructed reference signal's performance on detection. The results show that higher reference SNRs generate lower decoding bit rate errors and better clutter suppression with the reconstructed reference signal. Moreover, we propose a method for removing irrelevant signals to avoid the impact on target detection of a non-direct path signal in the receiving signal. The experimental results validate the efficacy of the proposed signal processing method.

The synthesis of water-soluble clusters is of interest for their possible use as homogeneous catalysts in this solvent. There are several advantages for carrying out catalytic reactions in water; easy recovery of the costly transition metal in a biphasic system (e.g. in hydroformylation of olefins with rhodium), use of water as a reagent (as in the Wacker process), and/or obtention of a better regioselectivity with amphiphilic compounds. A better understanding of the chemical behavior and stability of transition metals, especially low-valent group VIII (groups 8–1021) complexes, in water is important for the development of homogeneous catalysis in this solvent. We describe here the synthesis and characterization of a new family of water-soluble metal clusters based on the hydrosoluble ligand L = P[C6H4-m-S03-Na+(H20)]3 first described by Kuntz.

Dry Conditions to Continue in Most Parts of Kenya
By Willy Ngumbi
Most parts of the Kenya are likely to continue being dry, however, moderate rainfall may be experienced in certain parts including the Highlands West of Rift Valley, the Coast and the Highlands East of Rift Valley.
This is according to the Kenya Meteorological Department(KMD) weekly forecast where countrywide temperatures during the day are likely to be moderate (20 to 35 degrees Celsius) and less than 10 degrees Celsius during the night.
Moreover, in the Highlands West of Rift Valley, the Lake Victoria basin and Central and South Rift Valley, mornings are expected to be sunny with afternoon as well as night showers and thunderstorms.
According to the organization, North-western part is expected to be generally sunny during the day and partly cloudy at night with temperatures likely to range between 23 to 34 degrees Celsius during the day and 11 to 26 degrees Celsius during the nights.
KMD also added that the Highlands East of Rift Valley including Nairobi county are expected to be cloudy in the morning with sunny intervals and occasional afternoon and night showers over few places.
Furthermore, generally sunny conditions during the day is expected in North Eastern with temperatures likely to range between 22 to 33 degrees Celsius while nights are expected to be partly cloudy.
Additionally, in the southern lowlands, mornings are expected to be cloudy breaking into sunny intervals for the rest of the day with the possibilities of afternoon showers over few places while and cloudy nights.
In the coast region, the mornings, early afternoon and night showers are likely to occur over few places occasionally spreading over several places with temperatures during the day likely to be 26 to 29 degree Celsius while night temperatures expected to be 20 to 24 degrees Celsius.
Meanwhile, according to KMD, most parts of the country were generally dry during the last seven days with light to moderate rainfall recorded in a few stations including the Highlands west of rift valley, Highlands East of Rift Valley and the Coast region.
The organization also noted a decrease in day-time(maximum) temperatures over most parts f the country while night-time(minimum) temperatures increased.

Gear Indicator Schematics
The used display has some "short" leds and other "long" leds, shorts leds have half voltage
than long leds, thus different resistors have been used for each one to keep the same
input current to the PIC, that should not be greather than 18 ma (Microchip declares
a maximum output current of 20 ma and maximum input current of 25 ma).
Display is common anode (common positive), so this pin is connected to 5 volt.
7805 IC is tied directly to the metalic chassis of the box to disipate the hot that is
produced on it due to voltage drop, from 14 volt to 5 volt.
An input diode has been added to the current input to give the circuit a reverse polarity
protection. This diode in addition of the two 10K resistors on the signal inputs, provide
the whole reverse protection for the 4 input lines of the box.
Gear input goes from 0 to 5 volt.
Standard voltage values on Suzuki GSXR are:

text: Various applications of quantum devices call for an accurate calibration of cryogenic amplification chains. To this end, we present an experimentally feasible calibration scheme and use it to accurately measure the total gain and noise temperature of an amplification chain by employing normal-metal-insulator-superconductor (NIS) junctions. Our method is based on the radiation emitted by inelastic electron tunneling across voltage-biased NIS junctions. We derive an analytical expression that relates the generated power to the applied bias voltage which is the only control parameter of the device. After the setup has been characterized using a standard voltage reflection measurement, the total gain and the noise temperature are extracted by fitting the analytical expression to the microwave power measured at the output of the amplification chain. The 1σ uncertainty of the total gain of 51.84 dB appears to be of the order of 0.10 dB.

2019 VLGAA Conference: Audit Considerations for Personally Identifiable Information and Cybersecurity
May 20, 2019
In 1988, the Virginia Local Government Auditors Association (VLGAA) started as a small group of local Virginia government auditors that shared methods and common experiences during audits. Over the years, this small group has developed into a formal organization with over 100 members statewide. The 2019 VLGAA Spring Conference continued to deliver this message, by enlisting the help of speakers from a variety of backgrounds. These included SC&H Group, the City of Chesapeake Audit Services Department, Guidehouse, and the City of Virginia Beach.
The range of topics included a summary of changes to the Yellow Book Government Auditing Standards, Performing a Value Added IT audit, and Energy Audits. In addition, SC&H had the opportunity to present on auditing considerations for Personally Identifiable Information (PII) and Cybersecurity. For additional information regarding these topics, refer to our previous blog posts Managing the Protection of Personally Identifiable Information and Don't Let the Next Cyberattack Be Yours.
Topics of Interest
Government Auditing Standards – Yellow Book Changes
Presented by Jay Poole, City Auditor, City of Chesapeake
- New Format and Organization: The Government Accountability Office (GAO) reorganized and realigned the Yellow Book chapters to better differentiate requirements from application guidance. This allows audit practitioners to more clearly understand Yellow Book aspects that they must comply with versus those they should consider as guidance. Required components are now clearly distinguished by a "black box" around the associated language.
- Ethics, Independence, and Professional Judgement: These topics, contained within Chapter 3, have been updated to clarify the independence expectations of internal auditors. These requirements focus on:
- Independence of Mind (Yellow Book 3.21.a), which allows the auditor to conduct an engagement without compromising their professional judgement
- Independence of Appearance (Yellow Book 3.21.b), which allows a reasonable third party to assume that the integrity, objectivity, or professional skepticism of an audit organization/team has not been compromised
- Reevaluation of threats to independence whenever the audit organization becomes aware of new information or changes in facts and circumstances (Yellow Book 3.28)
- Fieldwork Standards for Performance Audits: Chapter 8 of Yellow Book includes the updated requirement 8.04 with states that "Auditors must plan the audit to reduce audit risk to an acceptably low level." Section 8.16 defines audit risk as "the possibility that the auditors' findings, conclusions, recommendations, or assurance may be improper or incomplete as a result of factors such as evidence that is not sufficient or appropriate, an inadequate audit process, or intentional omissions or misleading information because of misrepresentation or fraud." Achieving this requirement is best accomplished through diligent, well documented planning procedures conducted by a competent auditing team in accordance with Yellow Book guidance. Documentation is key to supporting that appropriate procedures were taken to reduce audit risk in a performance audit.
Basics to Performing Value-added Information Technology (IT) Audits
Presented by Edwin Caron, Management Consultant, Guidehouse
- Defining a "Value-Added" IT Audit: This portion of the presentation defined what is considered "value-added". In summary "value-added" is subjective, per organization, based on perspective of what the organization is seeking in an IT Audit. The way auditors add value to organizations is through an independent and objective analysis of control activities. The goal of the analysis is improve the control and governance processes to achieve the organizational strategies and objectives.To add value, the auditor should implement a risk-based approach. This risk-based approach will help the auditor to focus on specific areas of concern or considered at-risk. This will reduce the unnecessary review of areas that may not pose a significant threat to the organization. Development of a risk-based approach is based on a formal risk assessment methodology that helps determine why a specific process area should be audited. Specifically for IT Audits some key items to determine during the IT risk assessment phase is:
- Frequent system issues?
- How sensitive is the data within the system?
- What are some of the common or inherited controls associated with the process?
- Defining IT Audit Universe: Based on the risk assessment, a determination of what should be audited is developed. The audit plan, contains an inventory of specific audit areas in one centralized location. The audit plan may include focus areas such as:
- IT Governance: Policies and procedures, IT strategic plan
- Operations: Data centers, configuration of IT devices, system backups
- Third Party Service Providers: Cloud service providers, consultants, telecommunications
- Applications: Business software, micro-systems (ex. excel and personal databases)
- Mobile: Cell phones, tablets
- Security: Security awareness, physical and logical security
- Risk Management: Mitigation measures, risk assessment
- Data: Quality, classification, database administration, data protection
In summary, to add value to IT audits a "risk based" approach should be taken that helps determines the priorities of audit areas. These audit areas are linked to critical risks that is associated with specific business objectives and processes that helps prioritize the risks.
Overall the 2019 VLGAA Conference included information sessions that provided valuable auditing strategies and updates on authoritative guidance. Each of these sessions reminded the attendees the importance of protecting Virginia's data and services and SC&H was proud to contribute as a presenter.

Moving Food-Resilience Data to the Cloud
People need food, regularly and often. That's such an obvious truth that's it's easy to lose sight of it—easy, that is, until calamity strikes and the food supply is endangered, as it could be in the wake of ongoing changes to Earth's climate. That prospect is far from inviting.
This is why Microsoft supports the White House's inclusion of Food Resilience as one of the themes of its Climate Data Initiative (CDI), an effort to open, organize, and centralize climate-relevant data on Data.gov's Climate website. And that's why teams from across Microsoft—including the company's research unit—are playing an intrinsic role in supporting the initiative.
The CDI was announced on June 25, 2013, by U.S. President Barack Obama. Little more than a year later, progress is under way. Work on the Coastal Flooding Risks to Communities theme began in March, and in Washington, D.C., on July 29, the White House announced public and private partnerships and commitments in further support of CDI.
One of those partnerships features the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) joining forces with Microsoft Research to organize data sets and tools in the cloud to provide insight into vulnerabilities in the food system. Climate change could affect almost all aspects of that system, from the ability to grow food, to the reliability of food transportation and food safety, to international trade in agricultural goods.
Microsoft has posted the USDA data sets to the Microsoft Azure Marketplace—they can be accessed by entering the search term "USDA"—to help make it easier for others to obtain data for analysis and apps. Those data and associated tools are provided by Microsoft Research as part of the Microsoft Azure for Research program.
"Microsoft is working with the USDA on the CDI initiative," says Dan Fay, director of Earth, Energy, and Environment for Microsoft Research, "because we believe that technology can help with the challenge of climate change and food resilience.
"This can be accomplished through making the data much more available via the Microsoft Azure Marketplace—as well as helping users better analyze the data via tools such as Microsoft Excel and cloud-based tools such as Azure Machine Learning."
Microsoft contributions to the CDI Food Resilience initiative are broad and detailed. Among them are the Azure Marketplace, which not only will expose the USDA data sets, but also will add more data sets over the next year, as well as introducing an Agriculture tab to its user interface; Power BI, which provides self-service data analytics and provides free access to the Azure Marketplace; and the Developer and Partner Evangelism and Microsoft in the Public Sector groups, which will co-create and drive activations for a planned series of related appathons.
Microsoft Research, too, has a robust role to play in topics that affect agriculture, such as assuring food safety, protecting natural resources, fostering rural communities, and addressing hunger, both in the United States and abroad.
The USDA and Microsoft Research will co-host a pair of innovation workshops in Washington, D.C., on July 30 to engage with farmers and producers to understand the challenges they face.
The first, a morning workshop focusing on food production, will be held at the White House and will address the need for data and tools that can be used by young farmers and producers to cope with climate change.
In the afternoon, the CDI spotlight moves from the White House to the Microsoft Innovation & Policy Center on K Street for a workshop on safe food distribution and the data and tools distributors need as the climate changes.
Microsoft and the USDA also will host the Innovation Challenge, a series of developer activities related to food resilience in key U.S. metro areas, at Microsoft Innovation Centers and collegiate campuses, from Oct. 20-Dec. 10.
The goals of the challenge, beyond demonstrating Microsoft's commitment to addressing climate change with tools and services, are to develop and publish new apps and tools to visualize and analyze multiple sources of data. Those apps and tools will enable new questions to be answered and will encourage users to create apps to reformat complicated USDA data sets into the Azure interface.
"The Innovation Challenge," Fay says, "is a way to focus attention on how the data sets being made available in the Microsoft Azure Marketplace from the USDA and other agencies can be used to create new analyses and make the results available via tools and applications.
"This is an opportunity for individuals to use the data sets in innovative ways for the betterment of society."
Participants in the Innovation Challenge—as well as the general public—will benefit from a series of webinars produced by Microsoft and the USDA to describe the data sets and drive awareness of open-source data provided by the U.S. government. The series will come after the workshops, aligned with the release of new data sets in the Azure Data Marketplace.
In addition, Microsoft Research will offer a CDI award program with another Microsoft Azure Request for Proposals, this one devoted to food resilience. Twenty awardees who submit proposals by Sept. 15 will receive a year's worth of free cloud-computing resources. Each award provides as many as 180,000 hours of cloud-computing time and 20 terabytes of cloud storage.
All of these efforts, from the White House, the USDA, and Microsoft, are designed to forestall the day when climate change interrupts the world's food store.
"Making the outcome of the analysis more widely available and accessible via apps on mobile devices and PCs," Fay says, "is a key way that Microsoft can help."

Toss those cabers, toss them high
The caber toss is a traditional Scottish sport that involves hurling a caber, which is essentially a large piece of a tree: a caber is a 6 m6~\mbox{m} long, 80 kg80~\mbox{kg} tree trunk. Large strong people hurl these and the goal is to get the caber to land as far away as possible and rotate in the air, so what was the highest part of the trunk initially is actually the part that hits the gound first. See this clip to understand how the caber rotates.
It's HARD to do this. To see how hard, consider a perfectly vertical caber with one end on the ground. You then launch the caber vertically with some speed v0v_0 and give it a rotation. What is the minimum kinetic energy in Joules you need to give the caber so that when it lands the caber is perfectly vertical again, but the OTHER end of the caber hits the ground?
Details and assumptions
 - The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s2-9.8~\mbox{m/s}^2.
 - The caber can be modeled as a uniform rod.

Influence of geometry shape factor on trapping and flushing efficiencies
The trap efficiency of a shallow reservoir depends on the characteristics of the inflowing sediments and the retention time of the water in the reservoir, which in turn are controlled by the reservoir geometry. With the purpose of controlling the trapped and flushed sediments in shallow reservoirs, the effects of the geometry on sediment deposition and removal were investigated with systematic physical experiments. The geometry shape factor is an important factor to predict the flow and sediment deposition in the reservoir. The evolution of trap efficiency has an increasing or decreasing effect according to the geometry shape factor and flow patterns. The channel formed during flushing attracts the jet and stabilizes the flow structures over the entire reservoir. Empirical formulas to describe the relationship between the geometry shape factor and sediment trap efficiency as well as flushing efficiency were developed.


The Importance of Minerals
Winning the Clean Energy Race Means Making Mining a Priority
Right now, the United States and China are competing to capture the production of advanced energy technologies like solar panels, electric cars and lithium-ion batteries. And unfortunately, China is winning. According to an opinion piece by Michael Stumo, CEO of the Coalition for a Prosperous America, "To compete successfully with China in the clean energy and advanced technology race, the United States urgently needs to transform its industrial policy. Washington must begin to encourage domestic mining and the processing of critical minerals." Read Stumo's entire column.

ADB loans $130m to improve water supply and sanitation
Sep 28, 2018-
The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has approved a loan of $130 million to improve access to community-managed water supply and sanitation in 20 urban municipalities of Nepal.
"Unmanaged rapid urban growth and lack of improved water supply and sanitation have led to environmental degradation, public health risks, rising urban poverty, and increased vulnerability to climate change and natural hazards," said ADB Senior Urban Development Specialist Alexandra Vogl. "Building on the experience of three previous ADB projects, the project will finance climate-resilient and accessible water supply and sanitation infrastructure and strengthen capacity in the communities and utility operators to deliver services over the long term."
Nepal has made strong efforts to improve access to water supply and sanitation, increasing coverage since 2000. However, in 2016, only 34 percent of water supply was reported to be safe and 15 percent met the national water quality standards, the ADB said in a press statement. More efforts are also needed to improve sanitation, given that only 34 percent of urban households have septic tanks and only 15 percent have sewer connections, it said.
The new project will support the installation or repair of 1,600 kilometres of water supply pipes and 15 water treatment plants each with an estimated capacity of 600,000 litres a day. This will result in 66,000 households being connected to piped water. About 8,000 toilets will also be constructed along with 20 public toilets suitable for both genders and the disabled. Among other activities, the project will construct two wastewater treatment plants and 30 km of stormwater drainage.
The total cost of the project is $178.5 million, of which the government and beneficiaries will contribute $48.5 million. (PR)

Rapid development of science and technology, regardless of environmental aspects, have caused some obstacles in mankind daily life.
In order to achieve sustinable devlopment, envirnmental constraints must be considered. Otherwise economic development will degrade environment. Considering these facts, sound development of human activities need to take the resource limitations and environmental constraints into account planning
According to the above mentioned idea, one of the appropriate action for taking into account the environmental constraints is the determination of ecological susceptibility of ecosystems, aiming to direct intensity of development into less-developed ecosystems.
In relation to these ideas, a methodology for determination of ecological susceptibility. of ecosystems is introduced, using system analysis approach.
According to this methodology, first a system diagram is designed by the involved ecological factors including slope, asect, elevation, vegetation, isotemperature and isopercipitation. The system is analysed by interaction matrix method in order to objectively calculate significance of these factors. Second mapping of ecological factors is undertaken. Spatial data of these ecological factors are integrated by grid method.
Finally, according to Environmental Quality Index (EQI) formulate, an arbitrary index for determining ecological susceptibility of ecosystems is developed and mapped.

When it comes to simple gifts that you can make for Mother's Day, painting a card or creating a picture are among our first thoughts. Finger painting is a great way to let your kiddos express themselves and create personalized art. However, let's not forget about the messy and highly toxic situation that's in conventional children's paint. It's important to choose paints that are safe for your kids, especially if their skin is going to be exposed to it, and those little paint covered fingers wander into their mouths.
All you need are some hands, fingers, and some non-toxic paint! For this tutorial, we are using our Children's Earth Paint Kit! It is 100% non-toxic and made with real earth (Thank you Mother Nature)!
Step 1. Mix the powder paint with water using a one-part paint to one-part water ratio. The paint can be used on paper, rocks, wood, fabric, and other surfaces so get creative!
Step 2: Paint the palms of you or your little ones hands to make flowers
You can also paint their palm half green and half brown to create a potted plant and can use their fingers and thumb to make flowers at the top of each finger!
Of course, no card is complete without a sweet poem.
"I've made some Mother's Day flowers
with my fingers and my thumb,
so you'll always have these memories
for all the years to come!"
Happy Mother's Day!
Written by our Intern, Lucia Corona, with a bit of guidance from our Earth Paint team!

Developing a Preblueprint Inspection
Order Reprints
Mark's Body Shop in Baltimore always attempted to get the repair process started as quickly as possible. To get techs working on vehicles right away, the office staff only acquired a small amount of information from customers, says vice president Mark Schaech Jr. But technicians always needed more information from customers to develop repair plans, which slowed work. So Schaech implemented a new standard operating procedure (SOP) to ensure employees documented the right information up front, which improved repair plans and efficiency, and helped his team set proper customer expectations.
Schaech explains how he developed a preblueprint inspection routine at his facility, and how the standardized process has become a valuable tool.
We implemented this inspection routine about five years ago. It's a 30-minute data collection process conducted prior to blueprinting procedures in which we acquire and assess a standard set of information on every job, regardless of the vehicle type or amount of damage that exists. It's a methodical collection of information that helps us document the state of the vehicle, and understand how to properly blueprint the job. It has become a strong tool that we use every day to save time and improve the customer experience.
The inspection routine includes three key steps:
#1: Repair Contract. We complete a repair contract for every customer before looking at their vehicle. The repair contract is a document designed to gather basic customer and vehicle information, and to educate the customer about the repair process.
The four-page contract includes the vehicle's make, model, VIN and color. We also provide information about things like repair payment options and parts usage. We explain the pros and cons of various parts choices, parts recommendations, and insurance-related issues. It takes about 10 minutes to complete the repair contract, which every customer signs.
Step #2: Prerepair Checklist. We conduct a physical walk-around of the vehicle along with the customer to assess 12 standard items outlined on our pre repair checklist. It's an opportunity to gather more detailed information. The checklist takes about 15 minutes to complete, and includes the following:
1. Check lights, horn, wipers and washer nozzles
2. Check door handles, mirrors, power locks and alarm key fob
3. Check dash lights and cigarette lighter
4. Check fuel level
5. Check vehicle mileage
6. Identify paint code
7. Identify wheel lock location
8. Acquire details of the crash
9. Identify the location of vehicle passengers at the time of the crash
10. Identify the payment method (customer-pay or insurance-pay)
11. Identify the customer's interest in additional work, such as paintless dent repair, mechanical repair, or other self-pay items
12. Identify how the customer heard about the shop
The checklist should be a living document at every shop because some items could vary between facilities. So build the document over time in a way that works for you. Shop owners should regularly assess whether any new information could be added to the checklist to prevent common delays during the repair process or customer complaints.
Step #3: Pre-existing Damage Diagram. The final step of the inspection routine is completion of a pre-existing damage document, which includes a diagram of a vehicle. We identify where any pre-existing issues exist on the vehicle, and note the information in the appropriate place on the diagram. Every customer signs and dates that document to verify they were aware of those issues in advance.
Documenting pre-existing issues this way ensures customers won't blame us for certain imperfections. It also provides a convenient opportunity to upsell customers on additional unrelated items. Make sure you assess the vehicle thoroughly, though, because customers could hold you liable for damages that were not included on the document.
We use an iPad to complete the inspection routine, which is performed by our front office staff (every estimator and customer service representative is trained on the process). The iPad is linked directly to our management system where these three documents are housed. Customers sign each form on the iPad, and the information is automatically attached to the repair order and electronically saved in the management system. That's a much more efficient and organized strategy for completing, tracking and saving these forms, since paper documentation generates clutter and gets misplaced. Any employee who accesses the customer's file can easily refer to these forms at any time from any location.
This inspection routine has become very important and valuable to our company. Spending more time with customers up front to obtain this data reduces the need to call them several times throughout the repair, and eliminates work stoppages. This information is also needed to determine the best possible repair plan.

I don't know about OpenCV, so I can't tell you what
cv.GetMat() does. Apparently, it returns something that can be used as or converted to a two-dimensional array. The C or C++ interface to OpenCV that you are using will probably have a similarly names function.
The following lines create an array of index pairs of the entries in
grey_image_as_array that are bigger than
3. Each entry in
non_black_coords_array are zero based x-y-coordinates into
grey_image_as_array. Given such a coordinates pair
y, you can access the corresponsing entry in the two-dimensional C++ array
The Python code has to avoid explicit loops over the image to achieve good performance, so it needs to make to with the vectorised functions NumPy offers. The expression
grey_image_as_array > 3 is a vectorised comparison and results in a Boolean array of the same shape as
numpy.where() extracts the indices of the
True entries in this Boolean array, but the result is not in the format described above, so we need
zip() to restructure it.
In C++, there's no need to avoid explicit loops, and an equivalent of
numpy.where() would be rather pointless -- you just write the loops and store the result in the format of your choice.

The in vitro behavior of three bioactive glasses with seven particle size distributions was studied by measuring the in situ pH inside the particle beds for 48 h in simulated body fluid (SBF). After immersion, the surface of the particles was characterized with a field emission scanning electron microscope equipped with an energy-dispersive X-ray analyzer. In addition, the results were compared with the reactions of the same glasses formed as plates. A similar trend in pH as a function of immersion time was observed for all systems. However, the pH inside the particle beds was markedly higher than that in the bulk SBF of the plates. The pH decreased as power functions with increasing particle size, i.e. with decreasing surface area. The in vitro reactivity expressed as layer formation strongly depended on the particle size and glass composition. The average thickness of the total reaction layer decreased with the increase in sample surface area. Well-developed silica and calcium phosphate layers typically observed on glass plates could be detected only on some particles freely exposed to the solution. No distinct reaction layers were observed on the finest particles, possibly because the layers spread out on the large surface area. Differences in the properties of the bulk SBF and the solution inside the particle bed were negligible for particles larger than 800 mu m. The results enhance our understanding of the in vitro reactions of bioactive glasses in various product forms and sizes.

What Is Gross Sexual Imposition?
By Staff WriterLast Updated Apr 16, 2020 9:05:32 AM ET
A person who forces another person to have sexual contact with a third party has committed gross sexual imposition. In the state of Ohio, gross sexual imposition is a third or fourth degree felony charge, depending on the circumstances.
The crime of gross sexual imposition entails the forced sexual contact between two or more people, none of which are the offender. One example of such conduct would be forcing someone to engage in prostitution. To accomplish this, the offender may use, or threaten to use, force or intentionally impair the victim's judgment. Drugging a victim, or waiting until their judgment is impaired by the use of drugs or alcohol, then forcing or coercing them into sexual contact with a third party is another example of gross sexual imposition. Additionally, forcing or coercing a person who is physically or mentally disabled to engage in sexual contact constitutes gross sexual imposition.

I'm running an application that can't be resized by any means. The text drawn on the application is too small so I tried to use the magnifier to make my screen bigger but I've noticed that 200% zoom level gives you a substantially clearer picture than 150%.
What is the reason for this? Is there any way I can make my 150% zoom level more clear (as 200% is an overkill)? If not, are there any other alternatives I can freely zoom inside the screen without losing too much clarity?

200% (2x) zoom allows for simple pixel doubling, while 150% (1.5x) requires a more complex rescale algorithm; there's really no way to change this. Another application might do the resize to 150% in a different way that produces a clearer result than what you're using now, but you're always going to see a clearer result with an integral zoom factor (2x or 3x vs. 1.5x or 2.5x).
Hope this helps!

As Aaron explained, it is a simple matter of math. That is, while doubling, tripling, etc. results in each pixel simply being enlarged (each pixel becomes a block of four, nine, etc. pixels), scaling by 1.25x, etc. gives fractional results.
Technical Explanation
For example, if you want to magnify an area of the screen that is 10 pixels wide, doubling it is simply a matter of making a 20-pixel—wide area and copying each source pixel twice. But what happens if you want to make it 1.5x? You have to make an image that is 15 pixels wide, but since there are no half-pixels (sub-pixel rendering notwithstanding), you have to double every other pixel.
Now imagine trying to zoom to 175%. You would have to make an image that is 17.5 pixels wide. Wait, what‽ How do you make a 17.5-pixel—wide image? You can't! You have to round it to either 17 or 18 pixels wide, then double only some of the pixels using some even more messy formula. This makes the result even more unpleasant to look at and difficult to read.
Your best bet is to use a different program which uses advanced math to scale it nicely, similar to how emulators often employ different filters to scale low-resolution video-game consoles to high-resolution monitors.
Sadly, there don't currently seem to be any Windows zoom/magnification tools that support both fractional zooming and advanced filtering (my go-to tool, Xoomer turns out to not support either). I do know of a couple of a few programs that have potential:
 - Mooz has a nice, minimal interface with good results, but zooming doesn't seem to work, so I cannot tell if it can do fractional zooming.
 - On Screen Magnifier has lots of fancy features including numerous filters that can make the results look smooth and great, and it does have fractional zooming, but only for down-scaling! That is, shrinking to less than 1x (which no other magnification tool I can find does).
 - Virtual Magnifying Glass has a lot of features as well. The only fractional zoom level it supports is 1.5x (which is still more than other tools), and while it looks much better than the Windows Magnifier at 1.5x, it could be better with some filtering).
While none of these quite fit the bill, the bright side is that the above tools are all open-source and available on SourceForge, so you can easily put in a feature request to have them add the necessary features.

Outlook Web App Light > Calendar
The Calendar lets you create and track appointments. You can also organize and schedule meetings with other people, and then update or modify the information (time, location, or attendees) as needed. When you use the Calendar to keep track of your meetings and appointments, anyone in the global address list can check your availability for their own scheduling purposes.
You can set any appointments or meetings to be repeating. This means they occur more than one time and on a regular basis. For example, you can schedule a repeating project status meeting that occurs every Wednesday at 2:00 P.M.
To open your calendar, click Calendar in the Getting Started > Navigation Pane.
How do I view my schedule?
The calendar displays your appointments and meetings for the current day.
 1. In the navigation pane, click Calendar.
 2. To view a different day, select a date from the month view that's next to your schedule.
 3. To view the details of an item or to change it, click the item.
 If you edit a repeating item, such as a weekly meeting, you'll be prompted to change either that one occurrence or all occurrences of the meeting.
How do I work with meetings?
A meeting is an appointment you share with another person. When you request a meeting, in addition to setting a time and subject, you'll add a list of attendees to invite. You can also add resources, such as a conference room or projector. If the recipients are in the shared address book, you can see their free/busy time. Most recipients can respond to the meeting request by accepting, tentatively accepting, or declining your invitation. Like appointments, meeting requests can be for a single meeting or scheduled as repeating meetings.
For information about how to work with meetings, see:
How do I work with repeating items?
Many meetings, appointments, and events occur regularly over a period of time. Instead of creating new calendar items for each occurrence, you can set the item as repeating.

Automobile structure steel plate is widely used in Automobile various parts,Automotive structural steel has the high technology content. With the continuous improvement of the level of automobile products,Automotive structural steel are increasingly in demand.BBN steel Automobile structure steel plate main steel grade:BS EN10268,H 240LA, H 280LA, H 320LA, H 360LA, H 400LA JIS G3113 SAPH310, SAPH370, SAPH400, SAPH440.
Automobile structure steel or automotive steel is used to provide greater strength to vehicle components. High strength of steel can be achieved by mixing alloy materials and cooling at low temperature. Additionally, automotive structural steel has excellent cold forming ability. Therefore, it is used in the making of boom, arms of truck, and trailer frames. Approximately, 34% automotive structural steel is used for body structures, panels, doors, and trunk closures, 23% automotive structural steel is used for drive train components, engine component, and gears, 12% is used for suspension units, and the remaining is used for tyres, wheels, steering, breaking system, and fuel tanks. Ultra-high strength steel is keenly used in the making of B-pillar and front cross parts of automotive vehicles. High-strength steel has good balance of strength, formability, energy absorption, and durability. Therefore, it is used in the making of roof and side panels of automotive vehicles.
Automotive structural steel makers are deliberately using lightweight alloy materials with automotive structural steel in a bid to inches physical property of vehicle components i.e., strength, ductility, toughness and fatigue and make a significant cornerstone among the customers, clientele, and in the global automotive structural steel market.
Common Grades of Automobile StructureSteel
We can supply various sizes and shapes of automobile structure steel products. Automobile structure steel plates and coils are mainly used for automobile beams and other structural parts that require good cold forming properties and have higher strength requirements.

After showing you how to feed pigs and deer earlier, today we're going to show you how to use a five gallon bucket to feed chickens! Jimmywait on the backyard chickens forum made a great guide that showcases how to make a chicken feeder, we took his idea and improved further upon it.
-One five gallon bucket (link)
-One piece of 3″ pvc elbow (link)
-A sillicone kit or pvc cement (link)
I'll assume you already have a saw, but the rest of the required equipment may be useful to buy in one go at Amazon, to cut down on delivery costs.
Step 1: Cut the PVC elbow at the red line, as shown here above.
Step 2: Make a round hole in the bucket one inch off the bottom, using a knife or a saw, where the PVC will fit into the bucket.
Step 3: The PVC pipe should now be attached inside the bucket, with the angle pointing downwards. The piece you cut off, should be attached on the opposite side, as shown in the image above step 2.
Step 4: If you think one PVC pipe is not sufficient for your chickens, you may want to add more PVC pipes.
Step 5: When the PVC cement dries, your chicken feeder should be ready for you to use.
The final result should look as following:

We've written other guides on taking care of chickens too. Look at some of the below examples:

the tip area partly failed due to acidification. In 1990 another effort was made to regenerate the waste tip once more. A joint project was launched with the National Urban Forestry Unit, Barnsley M.B.C, Yorkshire Water and Sludge Consultant to create a stable and self maintaining planting medium. About 30% of the reclamation has been devoted to forestry and rest put to grass. The site of Wharncliffe Woodmoor is now known as Athersley Memorial Park, Laithes Lane playing fields or the 'pit fields', the park is well used especially by local football teams, for fishing and walkers. An estate of private houses has now been built adjacent to the reclaimed colliery waste tip, confirming the improvement of the area's image. Another £2.7 million development as recently seen the site further develop into a prestigious development of self-contained units known as Woodmoor Court set within Wharncliffe Business Park.

Healing Wounds in Life
Margit Cathrine Moller
In the realm of physical wound, it is called cicatrisation, is an intricate process in which the skin (or another organ-tissue) repairs itself after injury. It is a wonderful reminder that the human body has the innate capacity to heal itself.
But if the body can do that, how much more the mind and the soul? The soul has a natural capacity to heal and yet we do not tap this gift. The mind has a natural capacity to heal and yet we do not often experience this.
It is because most of us do not know the workings of the mind and the soul. And how these aspects of the self can bring integration and transformation.
What are the essential ingredients of healing?
1. An acknowledgment of the wound. Yes, some people go through life in a state of Denial. They don't own and acknowledge that they have been abused or traumatized. Without this ownership, no healing happens.
2. A desire for healing. It has to be a deep desire to be healed.
3. A belief that healing will happen. In the Catholic tradition, a prayer is said before communion: Lord, I am not worthy but only say the word and I SHALL BE HEALED. Such is the power of faith.
4. An experience of a good process that facilitates healing. This may include counseling, therapy, spiritual healing and others. Professionals are trained to make healing happen. They seek ways to help a person go explore the mind and the soul in order to tap our natural healing capacity.

This article shows how to get detailed logs of the True Image Monitor's activity in Acronis True Image 2018.
True Image Monitor starts automatically with Windows and is responsible for showing icons and notifications in the system tray.
True Image Monitor's executable file, TrueImageMonitor.exe, is located in the following folder:
- Windows 64-bit: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Acronis\TrueImageHome"
- Windows 32-bit: "C:\Program Files\Acronis\TrueImageHome"
The level of logging is defined in the configuration file TrueImageMonitor.config, lying next to TrueImageMonitor.exe:
- Disable the self-defence feature of Active Protection as explained here. Otherwise, Active Protection will not allow modifying Acronis True Image configuration files.
- Locate the file TrueImageMonitor.config and copy it to the Desktop folder. That is needed because files in the folders Program Files and Program Files (x86) are protected by the operating system and cannot be edited directly there.
- Right-click the copied file in the Desktop folder and select Open with:
- Click More apps:
- Click Notepad and click OK to confirm the selection:
- Configuration file will open in Notepad text editor:
- Replace all the occurrences of level="info" with level="debug":
- Click File -> Save to save the changes and close Notepad window:
Drag and drop the file TrueImageMonitor.config from the Desktop to its original location:
Choose the Replace option when asked:
Click Continue to confirm the operation:
- Reboot the computer for changes to take effect.
In certain cases you could just restart the process TrueImageMonitor.exe instead of doing a full system reboot, but that would exclude the boot chain events logs which may be important in troubleshooting. If you are unsure, do a complete system reboot.
- Reproduce the problem.
- Detailed logs of the True Image Monitor could be found in the folder C:\ProgramData\Acronis\TrueImageHome\Logs\ti_monitor:
- Turn on Active Protection and the self-defence feature.
- If you are working with Acronis directly, generate a system report and send it to Acronis. The folder with Tray Monitor logs will be included in the report automatically.
- When the detailed logs of True Image Monitor are no longer needed, repeat the steps from this article, replacing level="debug" with level="info" at step 7.

Broken trust, with self and others, takes us into layers of unconscious contracts that keep us suspended out of our own lives. How do we restore trust and self-connection, as well as fully entering the present moment, with the help of relational neuroscience, the healing of trauma, and constellation work?
Constellations are a way of unwinding and unraveling the frozen strands of trauma and buried nervous-system vows from our essential beings, so that we can flourish, live, and contribute our gifts with ease.
This 5-day immersion week will cover the following topics:
- Use constellations to support healing from violations
- take away an understanding of special circumstances for healing violation in constellations.
